there must be action in the line of
economic development. Today the
sons of the missionaries are making
the soil put forth its best in insuring
the prosperity of Hawaii.
The native Hawaiian may move in
the march of progress or may lie down
to the threat of extinction. God has
decreed for mankind a struggle for the
mastery of their environment, and in
that struggle they develop character
and recognize obedience to the moral
laws. Those races that will not work
must, like the individual idler, drop
behind and suffer extinction.
The Hawaiians are a race of chill
dren. 1t is the right and duty Of the
Anglo-Saxon to rule them and spread
his higher moral standards and civil
ization. Our standards must be put
before them and they must be made
to conform to them.
We must not make such mistakes as
we did with the Indian and foster their
Incidence with fat bounties. We must
not thrust statehood upon them. They

JAPANESE RECEPTION
BRILLIANT AFFAIR

Long and loud were the banzais last
night to the health of the Japanese
Emperor at the reception given at the
Mochizuki Club in honor of the fifty
fifth birthday of the japanese ruler, at
which many of the prominent citizens
Of the city were the guests of the
members of the japanese Merchants
Association. For the occasion the
grounds and rooms of the club was
brilliantly Illuminated, while the Ris-
ing Sun of Nippon on the banners dis
played hung everywhere about the
grounds.
The affair was a brilliant success.
The guests were received by the Off
GERS of the association and made well
come, after the formal reception the
affair being delightfully."- informal A
splendid repast was served and the
fraternity and good fellowship shown
between the japanese merchants and
the many distinguished guests proved
conclusively that there is no Japa-
nese question in Hawaii.
Shortly after eight o'clock the COM
pany gathered about the board, being
welcomed in a short speech by Mr..
Yonokura, the vice president of the as
ISOLATION, who proposed the health of
the Emperor. This was drunk in a
chorus of banzais, after which the
guests and the hosts partook of the
good things provided
Following the supper a number Of
dances, emblematic of the occasion,
were gracefully danced by a number
of Geisha girls, to the music of tsu-
zumi and samisen, one dance in parti-
cular, the kappere, the harvest dance,
being much applauded. The affair
lasted well on towards midnight

WOMAN'S BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
Interesting Papers Read at
Largely Attended
Gather.

There was an unusually large at
tendance at the regular meeting Of the
Woman's Board, which was held yes
terday afternoon in the parlors of the
Central Union church. Mrs. Scudder,
the president of the board, acted as
chairman of the meeting and asked
Miss Yarrow to lead the devotional ex-
ercises. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved, fol-
lowing which the treasurer's report
was read.
Mrs. c. NJ. Hyde, of Ware, Mass,
formerly a worker in the missionary
line for the board, told of her life in
the East, and of how even there much
could be done in a missionary line
One of the most interesting talks was
that of Mrs. Philip A. Delaporte, of
the mission from the Central Union
church to Nauru Island. She told of
the great work which was going on so
successfully there and of the hearty
cooperation which was received from
the English owner of the phosphate
rights, who was only too glad to help,
as, through the efforts of the mission,
the natives were being changed from
a poor and useless lot to industrious
people, Mrs. D. L. Wilmington, who
has recently returned from trip to
the mainland, spoke a few words tell
ing of how glad she was to be back
in Honolulu once more.
The remainder of the program, under
the title of Hawaii Mel" was in
charge of Mrs. r. w. Andrews. The
most interesting of all the three adj
dresses was that by DR.. Serene E.
Bishop, on "Old Whaling Days" The
influence which the whaling men had
on the missionary work, from early
days till latter years, was commented
on interestingly. DR.. Bishops paper
in full will be reproduced in the Ad-
vertiser in the near future.
"The Influence of Hawaiian Mis-
sfons,' was taken up by Mr.. F. w.
Damon, in a very clear, short speech.
He paid a high tribute to the work
which had been done among the Chi
nese here by the Christian women of
Honolulu, saying that through their
influence many had been brought into
belief and trust in Christianity. He
stated that the Christian Chinese who
had gone back from here to their ma
tive land were great force for good,
and that they were, in many cases,
working hard to bring to others the
teachings which they had received
through the efforts of local teachers.
The last paper of the day was that
of Mrs. R. w. Andrews, on "Lahaina-
luna, Hilo, and Other Schools Be
ginning with the founding of the
schools, Mrs. Andrews gave a most
interesting account of their start and
history up to the present time. The
work which had been done there she
stated had had a great deal to do with
helping the Hawaiian race to elevate
itself, from the old methods to the
new, and the many young men and
women who received their education,
not only in text books but also in the
Bible, were greatly benefited.

affect Mrs. Prentice's recital.

At all of which the big boy laughed.
On the third day Prentice walked into his office,
and everyone knew that the king back in kingly
shape.
Prentice wasted no time on employees He paid
Stoddard, the chief, big salary to keep his or
ganization highly trained. The details he never
bothered about. No matter what employee came to
his private desk response to his CALL that person
must be the most fit that Stoddard could find; must
be who could do the business at hand without
delay without questioning. Hope Oliver had got
her position by expertness. She had passed Stod-

Oliver felt such thrills In the little behind

rush to Prentice's side and second him against

no help; for he was holding his own. Yet they rose
at him again and threatened every disaster if he

Iutely final. If you do not like that go ahead and

They looked at another and withdrew to

said, 1T is now eleven o'clock. AT two O'Clock we
shall be here for your answer
Three hours or three days, said If it is ready

And so they left, and Prentice went to his chair,
sat down. put his hand to his head, and sighed
though he was weary OF it all Then he caught sight
of Hope Oliver standing behind the big globe.
"Oh, forgot had sent for you, he said. You

Hopes desire was to run Her own consciousness
told her that Fate had begun to play game. There
was no reason. no logic, in her mind but her in

bilities.
She typed the letter. he signed it, and it went out
in the regular mail.
She knew that she had at least two days grace; he
could not expect answer before that. So she
found herself finishing up her work. cleaning out
her desk, and getting ready for sudden departure.
She the three come back and get their

situation and the realization of all this had its eff
right for her to be there; so the morning that he
received his reply the mail brought to Stoddard the
chief her resignation and her regret that she had to

Prentice smiled as he read her reply; read it over
again, and smiled again:

Instead of black there was pale pink

home
Mrs. Prentice had such a delightful
ride in the big machine over the noun
tains that she surrendered her prejudices
against automobiles: but that pleasure
was only beginning of the day which
she enjoyed in Hope divers company
"a day that was printed in memory's
reddest letters.
Sterling Prentice enjoyed it too: but
he was going from one abstraction to
another. Where had he seen that face,
those eyes? He may have been silly
enough, to have dreamed: but that
would be absurd. That mouth! Very
familiar; but the smiles around it were
not So he proved to himself that
what he knew he did not really know,
and that everything was very much up

self. who was self poised and charming.
He rather liked it. but he distinctly
resented such things happening TO him

to steer his bark to a safe harbor the
more the wind and the tide tossed him

Hope was amazed, SO extraordl-
nary was this on the part of Prentice,
who, so far as she knew, had never
made such speech before to any Of
his subordinates. But she did not
understand the man. He had been
under the strain and she was an
opportunity to divert his mind. He
paused a bit, and then steadily re-
garded her with his piercing blue
eyes.
You are a woman" he said.
You have intuition. You see

sense, a sort of extra vision. You
have heard this little disturbance.

At this moment confidence re-
