voted to works as the evidence of faith,
which. during the last century, have
been supplemented by numerous lay as
sociations on similar line. The
Protestant churches have established
and utilized almost iunumerable
agencies for cosmopolitan righteous
ness. 1t was the boast of King Arthur
that. during his reign. justice was
brought home to every door. 1t is the
boast of the Christianity of the Twen-
tieth Century that il takes the plain
truths localized by its Founder, with
its concomitants of relief and help, TO
every quarter where necessity stretches
forth its hands or viciousness and ig-
norance reveI or torpidly lie in isola-
ton.
These evidences of Christian progress
are the justification of optimism and
the stern rebuke of humanity to railing
pessimisnl. They vindicate the mis-
sionary spirit. which follows trade and
commerce to their farthest explorations,
and which sends its messages and its
aid to all who need them both at home
and abroad. They prove that high and
idealized standards of life and progress
may be sustained by constantly accu-
mulatfng facts. They Justify the deep
truth of Archdeacon Webber's aspira-
ton for enthusiasm, reduced to prac-
tice, as the motive power of religion

Up to the People.

Editor Advertiser: The question i'm
mediately before the community of Ho-
nolulu is not so much how an exhibi-
ton at st. Louis will be made. but
whether or not the Territory of Hawaii
Will be represented at aII-with the ex-
ceptiOn of a hula on the Pike. 1t has
been suggested that seventy-five per
cent of the visitors will be more in
terested in the hula than in any ex-
hibitiOn that might be given by the
people most interested in the welfare of
Hawaii
1t is impossible to believe this will
be the case. Even if this should be
true we can well afford to interest the
twenty-five per cent in clean exhibit
ton, although not exhaustive. rather
than to let the whole exhibit go by
default.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association have presented
the matter to the people of Honolulu
and it is now up To them, whether Ha-
waI viii do its best with the opportunf-
ties afforded. or take q back seat and
be the laughing stock of the whole ma
ton. Hawaii is 10 longer an insignifi-
cant quantity, ana cannot afford to
allow itself to be ignored from the mere
fact that the government is temporarily
embarrassed and cannot furnish the
amount appropriated by the last Iegis-
Iature.
1t is up to the people of this com
u"nirv to come forward now and fur

GOOD HOCKEY AT
KAMEHAMEHA

An interesting game of hockey was
played on Saturday afternoon on the
Kamehameha grounds between the Red
and White teams of the Girls school
A large audience was present.
The grounds We're somewhat small in
size owing to fine turf being only on
the old basketball grounds. For this
reason also the teams We're reduced to
seven players each, instead of eleven.
The Whites won, score being to 8.
The games We're umpired by Messrs.
Young and Allan Dunn.
