gar CafSOeS that you can ever snip
from here. tApDlause).
Did you ever hear OF Stewart. the
chaplain of the Navy that came here
in the early days? I read his book
on Hawaii Have you ever heard, on
the other hand Of Kotzebue and the
vessel that brought Lord Byron here?
They We're here simply for pleasure and
they wrote a book about the mission
aries who came here. Does anybody
ever read their book now?
Let a good man come down here,
no matter if he comes down TO make
money out of sugar, ready to build a
mill and put in machinery and crush
the cane, carry it to market and sell
the product. Suppose he piles up a
million, or even millions? What good
has he been to the people of the is
lands? He has made little commerce,
perhaps he has given some poor peo-
pie bread. But he is probably more
careful to see how much bread he is
giving them than to consider that he
is giving them bread at all. 1t is pref
ty hard to find a man who is everlast-
ingly accommodating money that is not
| a tyrant with it. Take the man who
has made his millions in the islands
and then sold out his holdings and put
his millions in his pocket and left
these shores. How much has he done
for these islands?
who have written your books? Who
have given themselves to work among
the lepers? Who have built your hos
pitfalls? Who have built your churches?
Who have interested themselves in
your schools and in the education of
your laborers? When I found it was
my duty to come here, I began to read
up about the islands and look UP the
persons of interest. I suppose you
would like to know whom I found. Did
you ever hear of the name of Dibble?
Did you ever hear of the name of Bing-
ham? Did you ever hear of the name
of Jarvis? Did you ever hear of the
name of Ellis? 1 began to read the
history of the islands. L went clear
down to the present time to see whose
names were of interest and l found the
names of missionaries who had given
their lives work for these islands.
What a list those names make. If
it We're not for the modeSty of the peo-
pie here I could go on and mention
those still living. What names those
are. the Gulicks and the Bishops and
so many others and this good woman
who has told US tonight about the work
in that little Hawaiian mission. What
a loss to the world would it be if she
were suddenly to be removed from her
activities.
THE people who live for themselves
are not the people we are interested IN
or that the world is interested in. Who
was Lady Henry Somerset until she
began to work for the poor? Who
was General Booth when he began his
slum work? Now he is known through
out the whole world and his name and
his work will live forever. Who was
Wendell Phillips until he began to work
for the downtrodden of Boston. when
he gave up his friends, and even his
reputation to answer Gods call? Now
his name is immortal. His memory is
revered just as now is that of VIM.
Lloyd Garrison. Yet half a century
ago the kid-gloved aristocracy of Bos-
ton was dragging him through the
streets in an effort to hang him.
What a blessed thing it is to be a
friend of Jesus.
Jesus shall reign wherever the sun
shall His successive Journeys run. y
(Applause).
