BISHOP "REMINISCENCES.
Following a vocal SOLO by Mrs. Vein |
rich, DR.. S. E. Bishop read portions of
a diary written by his mother, soon
after her arrival at Honolulu in 1923.
She was a missionary of the first re-
sent out from New Eng
land. One of her earlier remarks
speaks of her husband and herself sit !
ting in the home of Mrs. Thurston on
Runchbowl hill from which place she |
noted two lunar rainbows. This was in |
July, 1923. She then tells of a terrific |
wind which threatened to overwbelm
their matched home and of the advis-

the arrival of the Paragon, bringing
cheering news from Boston, of an out
pouring of the holy spirit from there
and the asking of blessings for the
laboring in these islands.
She added: This is Il land of moral

Brother Whitney and wife. She refers

of landing them at Waimea. She
writes of a visit to Queen Kapule,
former ruler. and then adds that she
was panied about the peridious queen
Kaahumanu-she is one of the veriest
tyrants that ever lived

Mrs. Bishop then tells of a visit to
Wahinenui, saying she was the larg
est woman she had ever seen. She
writes: 4 said to her, I have never
before seen so large a woman, to
which she replied, I was pretty
