!. NJ. c. 4. WEEK Of
PRAYER FOR YOUNG MEN

For some years it has been the Gus
tom of the Young Mem Christian As
ISOLATION of North America to observe
the second full week of November as
week of special prayer for young men
in all lands. The custom of holding
special series of meetings at this
time gradually grew. This year, how
ever. the call comes from the Inter
national Committee to make it week
of prayer, and not a week of special
meetings. In harmony with this re-
quest, the local association, instead OF
holding MONDAY meetings on Fort
street, as was done last year, with
special speaker for each meeting, vii
hold a brief meeting for prayer al
the Association building every after
noon this week from $40 to 5:25
Those men who are interested in these
meetings are invited to attend.

WHY JACK LONDON'S
CHECK CAME BACK

The following is a copy of a letter
received in Hilo explaining why one
of Jack London's checks was not
honored at the. Oakland bank on which
it was drawn:
Wake-Robin Lodge,
Glen Ellen, Oct. %, 1907.
Mr.. A. James, Hilo, Hawaii.
Dear Sir: I am informed by the
Central Bank. Oakland, California, that
when you handed in hundred dollars
check given you by Mr.. Jack London,
there were no funds to make good the
check. This was SO, but it came
through no fault of Mr.. London. /,
acting as his attorney in fact, had
transferred a large sum of his money
from the Central Bank to my bank
(The National Bank of the Pacific, San
Francisco for greater convenience to
me in paving bills. | notified Mr.. Lon
don of the transfer, sending my letter
to Papeete according to his direction,
but as you may be aware, the break IN
his engines deferred his going to Ia
hiti, and no such word had reached
him from me ere he left Hllo. The
consequence was he overdrew his &C
count with the Oakland Bank who have
done what they could to mske good
the mistake since communicating will
me on/the 10th inst. I trust the
blunder has caused you no serious an,
novance, and that long ere this comes
to hand. you will have been informed
by your banker that Mr. London
credit is good in California as it i
| elsewhere.
Yours very truly,
NINETTA EAMES,
