YOUNG PEOPLES
UNION Of OAHU
Holds Its Annual Meeting---The
Christian Church Wins
the Banner.

/ The fourth annual convention of tn
Oahu Young Peoples Union was hell
/ in the Portuguese church Saturda,
/ evening. A large audience completed,
filled both the main auditorium and tn,
l Sunday school room.
1 The theme chosen for the evening
was Peace and the societies re
cited verses of Scripture bearing OF
this topic, in response to their name.
| at rollcal
| In the absense of A. H. r. Vieira
James Amioku led the praise service
after which there was a Scripture read
ing and prayer by Rev. A. V. Soares
In place OF the usual address, Presi
dent Tosh read resume of the work
which the Union had accomplished for
the year.
While the offering was being taken,
quintet from the Normal school sang,
"Peace, Perfect Peace
The Rev. DR.. Scudder evidently for
got that he was booked for the address
of the evening, as he failed to make
an appearance. In place of his talk
a few remarks were made by Moses K.
Nakuina, delegate to the coming Seat
tie convention, concerning his trip.
Secretary Wong Hin read an exceed

Martin made some exceptions. His
complaint was based on the fact that
nothing was said concerning the Christ
mas entertainment given by the Union
to the prisoners.
His objection was not sustained and
the minutes stood as first read. Presi-
dent Tosh complimented Wong Hin on
the effective work accomplished by him
throughout the year.
According to the treasurer the Union
has in its treasury the sum of 1882.
When the roll was called early in the
evening a number of the members who
arrived later were not present, and
1t was thought best to take the final
count as the number on which to base
the presentation of the banner which
is given to the society having the
largest per cent present. The banner
was awarded to the Christian church.
The following officers were elected
to serve during the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, P. M. Tosh; vice president, Jess
Dutot; secretary, Miss Rica Soares;
treasurer, Miss Hastings; chairman of
Junior work, Miss Perkins; of temper
ance work, Lyle A. Dickey; chairman
Of information committee, Miss Car
lotta Meyer.
After brief conservation service |
led by Miss Yarrow, the meeting was
adjourned with the Christian Endeavor

TOO NEAR POLE
FOR THIS MAN
Five Winters on the Canadian

to Hawaii.

| f1ocking under the lure of cheap land
| and plenty of it. The winter of that
| region is the testing time.
Norman Clark is one man who wants
to be gutter of the country and
having had enough cold in his life :
| portion from living there short period
turns his thoughts to Hawaii as a de-
opening words in letter to his friend,
Robert Churton of Honolulu, written at
Iewassin, Edmonton, Alberta, are:
stThis country up here is too darn
near the pole to suit me- We have
just come through a severe winter
where sixty degrees below zero was a
mere bagatelle. -
Mr.. Clark writes to get ga little
information about the Hawaiian Is
lands and the chances man would
have there of starting with small
capital of about two or three thousand
dollars After his already quoted
remarks on the frigid climate, he pro-
eeeds thus:
81 have had to feed my stock on
hay that cut last summer for close
on six months straight, the same hay
could have sold for six to eight dol
lars load, SO that it has cost almost
more to feed them than they were
worth. All winters here are not so
bad as the last, but I've had enough
this last six months to last a life
time. So have decided to try and
find more suitable climate l don It
mind heat and I want to live where
you can grow fruit and get fish and
prairie we get neither and I'm dying
of fruit hunger.
s'Squint is here with me but RI
think he will be wanting to get out
of the country in a. year or two. This
is only his second winter and he says
he is going to stay on, but I have
had five of them now, each one worse
than the last. I think you met Squint
and Wass Frater on their way here
when they stopped at Honolulu. Squint
has great liking for Honolulu and
has been singing its praises ever since
"I was in Colombo, Ceylon, for a |
short while, so I know what a tropical
island is like, although Hawaii is not |
so hot place as Ceylon. If I decide
to go to Honolulu and have a look |
round, before starting in to invest any |
money in land I would like to get |
something to do, so that I would not |
be running up expenses. I have tried |
my hand at a good many different jobs
since I left good old New Zealand. |
What would be my chance of getting
something to do for a while, any old |
thing so that I could earn a living
while looked round? would not
sell out here till I had decided to set
tie elsewhere

HOW IT AFFECTS A CITY.
A brief glance at the annual report
of the Brooklyn associations for the
year ending May 1st shows what the
Y NJ. C. A. amounts to when once it
gets the right grip on a city. The
associations in Brooklyn have 40 sec
retaries and 108 other employees. There
are 1905 members, 1913 directors, and
667 on committees. The employment
department filled 1880 positions and
1912 students were enrolled in the edu-
cational classes. Ninety per cent of
the men on ship liberty came to the
naval branch, the men of one ship
alone, the Ohio, depositing $4,000 for
safe keeping. The Daily Eagle well
says of the movement, This organiza-
