Dr. Scudder, secretary of the Ha-
waiian Board, was called upon for re-
marks appropriate to the occasion. He
extended hearty greetings to the. Sis
ter organization of the Hawaiian
Board. The members of the Woman's
Board were essential to the work of
the Hawaiian Board. He felt that the
idea of expanding the work of the
Woman's Board to take in foreign
missionary work was encouraging. He
said the Hawaiian Board was expect
ing more evangelists for the work in
Hawaii several from China and sew
eral from Japan.
He considered one thing of vast i'm
portance-that of training young peo-
pie of this Territory in a knowledge
of missionary work.
DR.. Ostrom was next introduced He
said he was glad to hear such en-
phatic statements in favor of foreign
work. He felt that Christ
was coming again, he knew not when,
but some time. He could not prophesy
when. He was not sitting in the
judgment seat but in the witness
chair. He had once read an article,
DO Missions Pay.?" and he hoped
never to read another like it, What
the missionary fathers and mothers
have done cannot be reckoned by the
scale of money. He spoke of a Ha-
waiian preacher who, in speaking to
him a few days since about religious
work in the islands, referred feelingly
to the old missionaries. now laid
away to rest. He said that in the old
days when any of the Hawaiians were
in trouble they went to the old mis-
sionaries. They prayed with u.s. he
said, but since then most of them
have died and new ones have come,
and it is not the same. We miss them, |
oh, so much DR.. Ostrom said this |
native preacher paid a fine tribute to |
those men whose friendship he re-
membered so we'll. and their absence
left a loneliness in his soul.
DR.. Ostrom said he would always !
