TRUSTING FOR,

Apostolic Missionaries Travel
on Faith and Never
Worry.

worrying over the cOaSting laws nor
the prices of their tickets. These are
Thomas Junk and wife, missionaries
of the Apostolic Faith, and H. NJ. Tur-
ney and wife, leaders of the local Holy
Rollers. The former couple have re-
ceived a call to take the first availa BILE
steamer for China and are depending
on the Providence which called them
to supply the necessary transportation
They are living at present at the corner
of Hotel and Alakea streets, toiling not
nor spinning, and waiting for some
| Celestial messenger boy to appear
with passes good for one first-class pas
sage on the S. S. Chiusa Maru.
Mr.. Turney and his wife are living
with some members of their flock in a
cottage on Likelike and Hotel streets.
The pass they expect to get will read

New York. At first they had expected
to go direct from here to Korea and

Providence has made other arrange
ments and Korea will have to get along
without the Apostolic visitors until the
Africas have been told of early coming
of the judgment day.
Eyes, we're agoin' back to the States
and then to Afriky,'' said Mr.. Turney
yesterday. The reverend gentleman
was suffering from a recent attack of
breakbone fever, which the laying on
of hands had cured all right, he said,
but the stiffness Of which still remain
lulu yet. We aim to stay here a couple
of months longer a-preachin' the Gospel
to all that'll hear us. We amt a-wor-
ryin' none about getting tickets. When
the time comes We'll just pack our
trunks, the tickets will be waitin'
somewheres.''
Lately the Holy Rollers have shifted
their headquarters from the Peniel
mission rooms on Nuuanu street to a
little church building in Iwilei. There
the evidence of the good work being
done is that Mr.. Turney has married
twelve couples. In that particular por-
ton of the city he finds, he says, that
his apostolic gift of tongues adds to
his usefulness as at some stage of his
meetings or other he is able to talk and
pray in ali the languages used in that
polyglot community. The leader of the
Rollers wants to call the sinners to
repentance, not the righteous, and has
selected his field accordingly.
Mr.. Junk, going appropriately to
China, has been spending several weeks
in Honolulu. He is recuperating from
series of adventures that his zeal
brought about in Seattle. There he
was shot at few times and cast into
dungeon, all for religions sake. The
notoriety brought upon the name Holy
Roller by Creffield and his converts
reflected upon the Junks, although they
disclaim any connection with the Ore
gon free lover. Mr.. Junk talked freely
with reporter yesterday concerning
his work and belief, producing a
thumb-marked copy of the Bible every
few minutes to prove the statements
he made regarding the evil of taking
up a collection in church, the power of
the followers of the apostolic faith to
work miracles and the folly of worry
ing about bookings and tickets when
you want to travel. He mistook the
reporter for a fellow laborer of some
kind and shut up hurriedly when the
true inwardness of the questions asked
dawned upon him.
''Vell,'' he exclaimed, more in sor-
row than anger, eff I hat only knowed
dat you vas a reporter I would not hav
talked NIT you. Does newspapers does
eferyting against de Lord and nefer
anytings for Him. I am sorry I have
talked nit you at all
In connection with Mr.. Turney's work
here he has been in the habit of holding
all-night prayer meetings on the crest
| of PunchbowI. Lately the night rains
have interfered and he has secured per-
mission from the Methodist church
board to use their building for the all
plants from the neighbors, who have
been unable to sleep because of the fer
vor thrown into the petitions at the
meetings and who have, as a conse-
quence. spent their whole nights in
