For thspass five years the leaders
Of Christian Japan, men trained in

their efforts with those of the fore
most missionaries there and with the
authorities of the Mission boards at
home TO induce DR.. Bosworth to visit
the empire and give one of his series
of Bible lectures. Next April the first
international Christian convention ever
held IN Eastern Asia viii meet in To-

successful. The Dean viii pass through

vailed upon to stay over one steamer.
Through his deep interest in the mis-
sfonary history of Hawaii and the
present missionary movement here he
has been led to promise short series
of Bible lectures. The visit is sched-

MARINE

With the news of big storm on the
island of Kauai the Eteamer Ke Au
Hou arrived early yesterday morning
from the Garden Isle. She brought
practically no freight, for she has been
weather bound at Hanalei from last
Friday until Monday when she started
for Honolulu. Captain Sachs reports
that the storm, which came up from
the southeast, was the hardest blow
that the island has known in years.
The rain was very heavy at times, and
from January l to January Ii. 25 inches
of rainfall was reported on the island.
At Haena two houses collapsed from
the force of the wind and a third house
was picked from its foundations and
carried a distance of 10 feet. Nobody
in the house was injured.
The Hanalei river inundated the sur
rounding country and swept the bar
out Of existence. A Chinese who was
riding in top buggy, was carried Into
the river by the wind on Saturday
The Chinese managed TO save himself
but the horse was swept out to sea
and drowned. A workman employed
by the Kauai Electric Company, was
riding on a horse and the pair were
either swept or fell into the Hanalei
river. The man escaped
The steamer Niihau had to run to
Hanalei on Sunday for shelter.

FAMOUS BIBLE TEACHER
IS COMING TO HONOLULU

Dean Edward Increase Boswortb i
to give Honolulu a series of Bible
lectures.
He Is the largest single factor in
the religious life Of the college meu
Of America to-day, with stronger in.
finenee than either John L. Mott or
even Robert z. Speer,' so Mr.. Pau
Super, Secretary of the Honolulu 7. NJ
Z. A. remarked at a meeting of repre-
sentatlves Of various churches to CON.
slder the coming of DR.. Bosworth to
this city. Dean Bosworth is one OF
Yale S most distinguished sons, having
received her stamp of baehelorie ap-
prevail in 1883. Next Oberlin Theolog-
zeal Seminary and Their Leipsic Uni
versity took each hand at fashioning
him, after which he spent a year IN
special study at Athens As early as
1887 he became Professor IN Oberlin
where he has steadily mounted to the
position Of Dean of the Theological
Seminary. Today he and President
King are the two brightest jewels OF
this great western college.
DR.. Bosworth is prominently a
teacher His speciality is the New
Testament. But his students are con-
fined TO no one institution His text
books are IN daily use in all the col
leges of the Union mostly in voluntary
classes. They are also widely employ
ed in the 7. " G. 4. of the country.
It IS only during the past six or eight
years that DIR. Bosworth has come into
his widest reputation through the
great summer conferences at North
field, Silver Bay, Winona, Lake Geneva,
and elsewhere. Here he has
become a teacher of teachers, preach
ers, laymen and hosts of students. In
his speciality he is without a peer.
The popularity of DIR. Bosworth IS
