origin and on Hawaii be seen two OF the
largest craters Mauna Loa and kilauea- In

The pace is kept UP until the wave overtakes
the boat. II the speed is too slow the wave will
swamp 1t and roll on, leaving wet party in its
wake The moment when the wave picks up the
canoe is thrilling one. The boat is suddenly
lifted as II some velvety backed monster had
risen from the beneath the stern. The spray
strings back from the bow toward the great
blue-green wall OF water curling overhead di-
rectly astern. The pulse thrills with exhilara-
ton as the canoe rushes on. 1t is tobogganing
without its binding speed
Another OF the pleasures Of the native Ha-
waiians which has survived is the hula-hula
dance. This posturing dance is not on the Off
cial programme its modern form is not en-
tirey like its primitive practice. That there will
be opportunities to it is evident. however, as
the two principal purveyors of this form of
entertainment have been making preparations
They have endeavored to monopolize all the
dancers on the island by engaging them far in
advance for the week of the fleets visit. The
competition between Nine Puahi and Princess
Theresa, the native widow of Robert W. Will
cox, for the business OF providing dancers for
the event reached the vituperative stage some
time ago. and it was thought that possibly a
huIa-hula trust might result before the fleet

Interested intelligent persons of all
classes in the progress of the move

explains why it is that the chapel in
which the weekly healing meetings
were held at first has become too small
and why the church itself has been
thrown open to the hundreds who are
now availing themselves of the treat
ment.
According to the advocates of this
combined method of healing, the weak
point OF all other mental cures is their
hostility 10 the medical profession.
Faith curists generally maintain that
disease is caused by physicians, and
they put no confidence in a medical di-
agnosfs. AS opposed to this radical
ism the whole basis Of the treatment at
Emmanuel church is diagnosis. Being
treated at all by the faith cure that is
practiced there depends on the result
of an examination by a physician. If
the trouble is found to be organic the
talth curists decline at once to treat

method differs widely from that Of
Christian Science and all other forms
of mental heating. although he is OF
the opinion that any physical or men,
tai disorder which may be remedied
by any of those forms Of treatment will
be quite as susceptible to his own He
declares that this faith cure in some
form is practiccd by all successful ply
sicians and that it should be made OPP
eratave in its-shighest form in ths
Christian church.
It seems that this is not a new OF
sudden determination on the part OF
the bishop For the past twelve years
he has been IectHrtng on physiological
psychology at the Bennett Eclectic
Medical college, Chicago. and for sew
eraI years he has been making a spe-
cial study of the relations between
mentality ana; disease AS a result Of
his Investigation he has become con-
WINGED that mentality when based On
trust in religion is a powerful aid In
the treatment and cure of all nervsuz
and functional disorders.
IT do not go SO far as to say that All
diseases may be cured by mental sus-
gestion," he says. "Organic diseAsos
like cancer and typhoid fever demand
the services of a skilled physician But
IN every disease the mental ATTITUDE Oh
the patient has much to do with his
condition, and in all those affections Of
the mind which might be classified as
functional nervous disorders the mental
attitude of the patient is the greatest
single infiueece-"
The good bishop has made a list II
the diseases which he believes may b
combated successfully by his fnind
cure. 1t includes hypochendria. in
somnia, nervous dyspepsia. melaB-
choiia. hyster1a. neuraEthenia, drug
habits. etc. II will be seen from this
that the bishop steers clear Of the re-
sponsibility Of undertaking the treat
ment of organic trouble Of any descTip-
ton. The grip. however. he regards
as his Legitimate prey. He looks on
the distressing mental depression
which accom- panies that disorder az the
main thing 70 be attacked, and he be-
lieveS that Christian Psychology IL
