back to their old lives.

half-orphans. There is a comfortable
home for 40 children. San Francisco

quently being made to plantation man
ayers to build larger churches for
them. He said that the Korean people
were sore at heart, feeling that they
had lost their country beyond recov-
cry. Now was an excellent opportunity
to bring them to Christ.
Behold the harvest is truly plente-
GUS" said Mr.. Min, but the laborers,
indeed. are few" There are 1900 Ko-
rean Christians in Hawaii, eleven or
twelve preachers and thirty stations.

THE JAPANESE WORK.
The next speaker was Rev. Mr.. Mo-
tokawa who made himself at home
with his audience by speaking in jap
anese first which, when translated by
, Rev. Mr.. Wadman, turned out to be
: statement of the fact that being a
: Japanese he believed in obeying or
ders and as Rev. Mr.. Wadman was his
superior he appeared although he felt
, as much out of place and as nervous
as an American missionary to Japan
: who, in reading his carefully written
: Japanese address, skipped a line every
: now and then and had, of course, to
: read il all over.
} Mr. Motokawa then read an address
in English showing that three planta-
lions are calling for ministers. He

he welcomed the Bishop on behalf of
the japanese Methodists.
THE HAWAIIAN WORK.
After a hymn Mrs. S. T.. Damon
spoke in her peculiarly earnest man
ner OF the Hawaiian work at Moanalua.
: She said she knew nothing of the
Christian life until a year ago. Then she
found the little church at Moanalua.
Only two people had been seen inside.
Now the work was progressing. An
organ had been purchased. The
Christmas celebration held last night
cost $40 Of which all but IS was raised
in Moanalua among the Chinese. Ha-
waiians and Portuguese.
Mrs. Damon went on in her simple
but direct manner and told of the in
terest that was being manifested. How
those who had previously stood on the
outside of the church and scoffed, now
, sat within and listened with interest
There were at the mission last night
said she, at least lis children and over
four hundred grown up persons. among
whom were at least 100 Chinese, who
had come saying, 1--WE will come in II
you will not laugh at u.s."
Mrs. Damon said that work was very
self-contained and self-supporting.
They did not ask anything Of any one,
unless it might be an organist. 1t was
pretty hard work to be organist, eX-
horter and preacher all at the same time
and keep 1t up for several hours at a
stretch, said she. At the close OF Mrs.
Damon's remarks, Rev. Mr.. Wadman
suggested a prayer for the mission in
stead of the usual song. The chairman,
C. j. Day, then led in a short but fer
vent prayer for Gods blessing on the
work at Moanalua.
