No. of Cars Net Returns

This statement by Mr.. Lott shows an
average net production, f. o. b. cars, of
$l65.l per acre for the first crop, then
followed cotton, corn, hay crops, ETC.,
producing a larger yield than if the
truck crop had not been raised. He goes
on to state that the farmers of that Sec
tion are in a better condition than at
any time since the war, and can there be
any wonder at this prosperous state of
affairs in the face of the figures here
produced? No section of the country

The race of mankind would perish did

till the time that the same kind assist

aid have right to ask it of their fell

of granting it can refuse it without guilt.

A STANDARD FOR
RETROSPECT
Sermon by Dr.. Scudder for
the Close of the
Year.

Rev. DR. Doremus Scudder at Cen
trail Union church last evening preach
ed a sermon on the retrospect of the
year. He took for his text the words
of the Master from the cross. 1T is
finished
The end of the year. he said, brings
into natural retrospect its events.
Wherever newspapers and periodicals
are published, there is being prepared
in these days summaries of the events
and the course of events during the
wear 1907. An event which will receive
wide notice is the trivial suggestion
made during the year of war between
the United States and Japan. Still
more important is the widespread
moral awakening of the Americans, as
evidenced by the fact that something
more than one-half of the United
States now enjoys the blessings of the
prohibition of the liquor traffic. This
moral awakening is further evidenced
by the fact that everywhere the peo-
pie are arousing to the evils OF cor
ruption. Another great event of the
year is the progress of China, a prog
ress in one year greater than any
other nation, even than Japan, ever
made in two years. The Hague Peace
Parliament also takes its place as one
of the great events of the year, for
though there was a previous Hague
conference, the one of 1907 was the
only one in which all nations of the
earth were represented.
The individual looking back over the
year can judge of his own life in 1t by
no better standard than the words of
Christ on the cross, 1T is finished.
The definite purpose with which it was
lived has reached its definite and ex-
pected conclusion. 1t is a purpose I'M
ished. completed, triumphant. 1t is
satisfactory 1t has measured up 10
and fitted in with the purpose of the
Master.
1t is not possible for US TO feel such
a completeness of life. Yet it is posi-
bic for US, if we have sought through
the year TO serve life's purpose fully,
to measure up to it in degree. 1t is
possible for each of us each year to
come nearer to Jesus satisfaction Tt
isn't a question of making a living-it
is a. question of making a life.

WOMAN'S CLOTHES

a crowd of thirteen gamblers yester-.
day afternoon near the Moiliili quarry,
with all their equipment, including
tin kitty box, with slit in its
cover through which IS or Sc in small
change had been already passed, to
enrich the banker of the game. The
great credit for the capture is due
to Officer Apana, who made up as an
old Chinese woman, and, in this rig,
was able to get hold of the sentfnels
whom the gamblers had posted tc warn
them of coming trouble.
Eight drayrnen for the Hustace-Peck

DR.. SCUDDER'S FIRST
LECTURE ON THE BIBLE

The first lecture in connection with
.Sbe delivered by DIR. Seudder next Thurs
day night at 1880 at the Young Men s
Christian Association hall. Part of the
plan of this movement is to have a
monthly lecture on the readings for
the month. DIR. Sudder's lecture will
be an explanation of the book of Mat
thew, under the title 1.-THE Gospel of
the Publiean' This lecture will be
of little different nature from Bible
lectures that most CT us are familiar
with. in that it will not be a ser
mon preached ca a Bible verse as
text. but will be an exposition OF a
whole book, dealing with its author
ship, its literary peeuliarities, the group
of people whom it was expected to in
terest, and its differences from the
other gospels.
The Bible reading movement is gain
ing momentum, and signed cards are
coming in every day. A number OF
organizations nave ldhth VI INV FA
and it is now being pushed by the
Methodist church, Central Union
church, the Christian church, the Japa-
nese and Chinese Y. NJ. C. As, the
Makiki japanese church, Palama Mis-
sion and others. A number of men
having no interest in any church or
Ireligious work of any kind have join
ed the movement, and the prospects
of the association enrolling 500 men
look pretty good.
No better time of year could be
chosen for the launching of such a
scheme. coming as it does at time
when men are making New Year s
resolutions. A resolution to read the
Bible daily is good one, and many
men will make it when shey know that
dozens of others are doing the same
thing. Every man in town is invited
to Join this movement.

SENATOR BoRAH.s ACQuIIrAL.

We are gratifed that Senator VIM.
IL. 'Borah, of Idaho, has been acquitted,
seeing that his ;vcuuittal has every
appearance of n complete vindication.
Indications point very clearly to the
fact that the charges against him We're
trumped up by his enemies for selfish
reasons, political or otherwise, and If
the reports which have been published
ace true, the government should cause
an investigation to be made. Senator
Borah does not deny that he was at
torney for n land company, as he had
the right to be, but the. record shows
that in every transfer of land upon
which he px;sed, he was at great pains
to see that the law was complied
with to- the letter.
1t is serious matter TO bring a
charge of corrupt practice against a
Omitted States Senator in Congress, and
If 1T be true, as alleged, thar the
proceedings were instituted against
him upon timsy preteXt for malice or
for any selfish consideration, the per-
sons responsible for it should be eX-
posed AMI punished as they deserve.
