co TO MAUI
Primer Tells What Is
Going to Happen

Harry D Couzens has written a
"Guide to Maui" which has been is
sued as "a primer" by the committee
in charge of the Elks' excursion to
leave Honolulu next Friday afternoon.
/ Henry c. Eatson, John H. Fuller and
I James D. Dougherty form the commit
tee. Following are some extracts from
the primer:
PURPOSE.
The purpose of this excursion is to
j renew our youth and shed the Light of
| our Presence upon the benighted
| Brethren of Maui. 1t is tonic ar
ranged to dispel all traces of Melan-
cholia, Hypochondria and Lingering
/ Grudges against your fellow-man. It
will be one Magnificent Poem of Per-
feet Peace and Holy Joy that will cause
Dull Care to flee, shrieking, to the AL
garobas. The Lion and the Lamb shall
lie down together; and the Brethren
wander. hand in hand, beside the linn
! Did pools and running brooks of lao
Valley, where the tuneful Mynah fits
/ from bough to bough and lifts his glo-
rious voice in welcome to the Orb of
Day with such grand and impassioned
melody as would cause the shade of
old 0rpheus to throw fits among the
cactus.
o, come all We Faithful who have the
price. Get out your old clothes and
your last years conscience. Forget the
daily, sordid grind for the Almighty
Dollar. Place copy of this Primer in
the innermost pocket of your Raglan,
and do not fail to also insert a few
Application Blanks. Who go to Paris,
Pearl City or the wilds of Humuula for
an outing. when this glorious oppor-
tunity awaits you, to breathe the pure,
unrectified ozone that circulates (by
request) about the palm-clad shores
and slopes of the sun-kissed Isle Of
Maui? This will be the grandest expe-
dition since the Children of Israel set
forth upon their quest for the Prom
Used Land. It will be a red-Ietter
event; landmark in history, from
which all subsequent happenings will
date, and will be handed down, or4lly,
even unto your childrens children. |
Come, O Comet Aw.-come on!
