little deeper. That soil is just like that
in richness sixty feet down" Now you
have some idea Of the necessity OF hav-
ing rich soil to produce crop. A soil
is only valuable in proportion as 1t Is
productive. No sane farmer would try
to turn an Arabian desert into farm.
The sand dune is cheap merely because
It is unproductive. Are you and l, as
spiritual seed planters, seeking the best
soil for the coming spiritual harvests?
The Virgin Soil
Where is the human soil for richest
spiritual results? 1t is often in virgin
soil. David Livingstone opened the
map of the world, and he saw 1t In
Africa. DR.. Duff opened the map OF
the world. and he saw it in India. Fa-
Their Damien opened the map Of the
world, and he saw it in Mol9kai. Mar
Gus Whitman opened the map Of the
world, and he saw it among the Nez
Perces Indians. William Booth opened
the map Of the world and he saw it
among the slums of the English cities.
You and open the map of the world,
and we say-what? The people who
need the gospel the most are the people
who are in the most AFFECT physical,
mental and spiritual want. The more
a man and a woman are social outcasts
the more they need to be brought to
Christ's feet and the more they can be
spiritually benefited. These offer the
deepest soils for spiritual harvests. Are
you planting the gospel seed where 1t
will take the deepest root and will
bring forth the greatest golden headed
sheaves, or are we living simply upon
the spiritual farm lands already Guilt
waited by other Christian planters and
reapers?
How are we to plant Christ in the
sinful hearts of our fellow men? Can
we 20 to Christ and get certain formu-
las. certain Bible texts or some Of his
divine promises and use these for the
gospel seed pIantingT Can we use
these promises as the husbandman di'
in times Of old when he took his bag
and filed it with seed ard then went
across the fields scattering the seeds
| far and wide? Oh, no! That is not the
way we plant for spiritual harvest
/ We plant in the sinful lives of our fel'
low men the divine life which is in us
If we do not have the divine life with
in rs, then we cannot plant the Chris
life in others. We must plant Ourselve:
in the sinful lives Of others or We can
not plant at all.
What did Jesus Christ mean wher
he said: "Ye are the light of the world
Ye are the salt of the earth:' HI
meant that it is the divine light in u
which shines forth and brings sinner
to the cross, not the divine light ;
thousand miles away. Have you tina
divine light in you? How often do yo'
pray to God and read your Bible ant
commune with him? When you talk
when you live. do men see your fac
aflame with gospel light. as was Moses
face when he stood In the presence o
the Lord? If your life is not fillet
with the divine life, is there any bet
ter time than now to open that life s.
that it will be overlooking with hi
glory? viii you not surrender you
life to him so that you can become tn
light of the world?

A pisappointment.

'T was talking on my trip west to
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
about the thornless cactus he has sent
to the National museum in Washing
ton" said a Washington journalist.
"Mr. Burbank said that he had
changed the aspect of many plants,
but not so much perhaps as people
thought. People expected greater
shanges than he could give. His
achievements sometimes disappointed

bled in the city. He should tell how
his employer is one Of the directors OF
the Young Mems Christian association
and how his word is as good as hlF

grumbling and fault finding and mis-

does not know what loyalty to his en-
ployer means, although he himself Is
entirely dependent for his bread ana
butter ON the salary be receives from
that store.
What is true of the mercantile world
is also true of a large percentage OF
the benefciaries of charitable institu-
lions. One of the loveliest ladies l
ever knew was left widow. with
rare financial acumen she doubled ana
ouadrupled her husbands estate. Then
with nearly 100000 she erected ana
endowed an "old folks home" There
in the most beautiful climate Of the
world upon a site which is unsurpassed
in beauty in all southern California

memorial to her husband. suppose
there would be 10000 applicants to en-
fer that institution this year If the re-
strictions did not bar all but inhablt-
ants of California from entering. As II
is, the waiting list runs up into the
hundreds. "Oh. II l could only become

pleading prayer Of many who are In

told that, though all those who enter

and the women OF the outside! There
Is a beautiful story told that after the
Prussians had defeated the Austrians
in the battle OF Sadowa young Aus
trian officer was found MORALLY wound
ed. lying In a wet ditch. He begged
the Prussians not to move him, but let
him lie there and die in peace. AS
physical dissolution was so near, the
conQuerors granted his request. But
after death, when the Prussians lifted
the dead body to carry it away for
burial, they found concealed under the
dead mans clothes the standard OF his
regiment. Yes, the dead hero did
everything to protect the flag Of his
country from being desecrated by the
hands Of his enemies. So may we do
everything to protect our standards OF
the cross from the contempt of the
world. May we so live that the men
and the women of the outside world
will say the church of God is the dear
est and best and the most loving place
to live this side of heaven. May we
never open our lips but in praise OF
Gods goodness and the goodness Of
the members Of the household OF faith.
May we learn loyalty to Christ and
loyalty to Christs followers.

every law of common sense that clerk

the plant has been in operation at
least year, as there is evidence that
the still has been moved at least
once. The Japanese arrested, now
ever, claim that they have Deen rum
ming IL only two months.
The clue as to the existence of the
place was obtained from two Japan
csc who had been arrested on the
charge of selling liquor without a
license. They had been questioned
closely as to where they got the stuff,
but refused to speak, until about
1880 Saturday morning, when one
of them told Breckons that he didn't
know for sure where 1t came from, ~
he had never been to the place, but
suggested that a search of the Along
premises might reveal something. AZ
1880 the officials were on the road,
logged out in their raiding clothes.
II is probable that there will be at
least two more arrests made in the
course of the afternoon.

KAPAA LAND MATTER
STILL UNDECIDED
Appraisers viii Go to the Island Of
Kauai Soon to Berln
Work.

With the Laupahoehoe lana mat
ter disposed of, rs told elsewhere in
this issue, the principal land ques-
ton before the Governor now is the
Kapaa matter.
This has been quietly simmerlng
for some time. Governor Frear de-
voted much time to 1t before he mace
his trip to Washington, and Secre-
tary Mott-Smith, while the Governor
was away, also spent much time in
study on 1t. Matters progressed very
well up to a certain point, when Col
Spalding baked and tied things up.
That is where they are now.
In the meantime, nothing more
can be done until all the land has
been appraised, Some OF the apprals-
ers have been appointed by the Gov
ernor, and the latter stated this
morning that the others would be APP
pointed by tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as possible the appraisers
are to go over to Kauai and com
mence the valuation of the land. This
promises to be a lengthy undertake
ing. There are all sorts OF land COM
prised in the Kappa tract, including
cane land, rice land, grazing land,
etc. Each of the different tracts
will be appraised separately.
Also, in view of the proposed ex-
change of the Government lands to
Col. Spalding for certain other
tracts owned in fee simple by him, II
will be necessary to appraise all the
tracts concerned, both those OF the
Makee Sugar Co. and those owned
by the Government.
In case the exchange with the
plantation Is not effected, the Gov
Crnment lands of Kapaa will be put
up for lease, all except that portion
Of the tract which is to be reserved
for settlement. These reservations
will be considerable. This makes II
necessary to appraise each small sub,
division of the tract separately.
When the end will be no man can
say.

the still.

HAWAII TRADE WITH MAINLAND
AND "A AN.

Hawaii did not ship as much do
land during the month OF November,
1907, as in November or 1906. Yet
the value of the merchandise shipped
rrom the mainland for the eleven
months ending last November exceeds
that OF the same period in 1906 by
over two millions of dollars.
This is the record shown by the
latest statistical table issued by the
department OF Commerce and Labor.
The total value for November, 1906,
is $1,3G9,19S., and for November,
1907, It Is s1,207,060. The figures
for the eleven-month period ending
in November are as follows for the
last three years: 1908, SlO,S26,-
3S7.; 1906, s11,3G4,3S6.; 1907, SI3,-
$4,000. This is a pretty good snow
ing for a section of the country
which few croakers say Is going
back"
During the same period we also
increased our shipments or mercnan-
disc TO the mainland. We sent mer-
chandise valued at s1,O39,646 in the
month OF November, 1906, and So
1892. In November, 1907. The
record for the eleven-month period
is 1906, s2S,73l,S7S.; 1907, s31,,
O5O,46O.
The monthly increase for fruits
alone was over twenty-five thousand
dollars and the increase for the
eleven months was more than two
hundred thousand dollars. The larg'
est item was, OF course, sugar.
In the tables devoted to Hawaii''
shipments from foreign countries we
find that our shipments from JapaI
also fell below the 1906 mark during
the month of November, 1907. The
figures are: November, 1906, Sl64,
S07. November, 1907, $113,26S. The
eleven month status shows good
sized gain for Japan. IN the clever
months of 1906 Hawaii shipped mer
6nandise from Japan valued at ST.,
200,444., and for the same period o
1907, s1,5S3,S60, The total ship
ments from all foreign ports in tn,

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
DELEGATES.

Although the Republican National
Committee has allowed the Territory
OF Hawaii a representation Of only
two delegates and two alternates to
the National nominating convention,
there is no special reason why this
Territory should give up the fight
lor representation of six delegates
ana alternates.
The decision OF the National Com
mittee is not necessarily binding.
rhe convention determines who and
how many shall constitute its mem
bership.
II would be entirely proper for
the convention Of this Territory to
send six delegates TO Chicago and
ask their admission as members OF
the National convention. Then Ha-

/ Territories of the country, would be

Iention for final action.
Should the Territory fail in seat
ing the six, 1t would not lose the
two. 1t has all to gain and nothing
to lose.

less slaughter of this ruler and his
son is the result of the teachings of
the band of human enemies whose
hand is against every commanding
parsonage. II is terrorism pure and
simple. A sorrowing people may
take the life of the assassin, but this
cannot bring back life to those whose
careers promised so much for their
country. The act of the murderers
rs the worst form OF human sacrifice,
and anything that can be done in the
way of redress seems little more than
an act OF impotent rage.
The sympathy of the civilized
world goes to the sorrowing family of
Portugal and the loyal people of that
nation. The history of the Portu-
guese people has never been one OF
progress by murder, and 1t is quite
to be expected that this terrible trag-
edy will bring together elements
hitherto antagonistic, in the common
cause of protecting their country
from the enemy oil mankind-anar-
Chy. Those favoring a republican
form Of government are well aware
that in this day and generation wan
ton murder Of king must retard
rather than hasten the result they
seek.
II would seem that this sacrifice
should bring the nations of the world
together in more effective move
ment to wipe out government by
murder, which is the practical result
of anarchy, though the theoretical
teachings may sound less harsh
We are reminded of the forgetful-
ness of the public by the fact that

The officers of Sisseton have
received word that the general
mercantile store of j. C. Canton
wins, at Armour, South Dakota,
was burglarized on the 18th of
about S35, 600. On the night of
September 18th, the store was
entered, and the safe broken
open and rifled. There was about
SS332, 900 iii currency, So, GOO iii
gold, and $500 in silver taken.
The currency was wrapped in
packages, one package contai l.
ing $4,000 in twenty-dollar bills.
There were five one hundred dol
lar bills, four ffty-dollar bills,
and the balance in odd bills of
different denominations.
The Dode Fisk circus showed
in the town that day, and several
suspicious characters were seen
in and about the town, but there
is no clue at the present pointing
to any one in particular. Mr..

of 81, 600 for the apprehension of
the guilty party or parties, but

can leave $35, 600 laying around
