Bishop Moore of the Methodist Epis
copal Church was the guest of tht
Commercial Club at luncheon yester'
day, at noon. as Governor Frear was
about a month ago. Bishop Moore
came here on the Manchuria which
brought Governor Frear home. and
since he has been here he has Travelled
very extensively throughout this is
land, Hawaii, and Maui where the
Methodist church has a large and
growing work. especially among the
Japanese and Koreans.
Bishop Moore was seated at table
with President George w. Smith of the
club, and at the same table were F.

Richard H. Trent. Rev. David w.
Crane. pastor of the First Methodist
church: Rev. John w. Wadman. SUI
perintendent of Methodist missions in
Hawaii; w. W. Hall, C. ]. Day and
James Wakefield.
At 1910 o'clock, President Smith
asked the attention of the members of
the club at table and introduced BIZ
cl0 10 no he raOraff0d
that there were not more of the men,
bers of the club present but he pre-
srmed that the fact that ii was a
mail day accounted for many absences.
Apropos of this. Bishop Moore in be-
cir ming his address, said he supposed
he was to infer from the remark of
the chairman that if this were a female
day the room would be crowded.
81 am honored," began Bishop Moore
''in being the guest, in its very habitat,
so to speak, of the brain, and the pur-
pose and the strength of the business
community of Honolulu. You think of
nolulu, but in a better and truer sense
you are citizens of this archipelago.
for it is by that term that you are
most properly described.
II have been spending such time as
I have had from the direct purpose Of
my visit here in studying the people
and the things of this archipelago. My
business is that of a minister of the
gospel. 1 am directly concerned with
the Churches and schools and with
eleemosynary institutions, and only in
directly concerned with the affairs of
trade and commerce. 1 therefore feel
highly honored to be a guest, not ex-
actly in your counsel chamber, but
where, as we have heard with the
hearing of the ear of you and your
accomplishments, we can now see you
with the eye.
MEMORIES OF HAWAII.
81 have been here three times in the
past on my way to the Orient. Each
time I have made the fullest inquiries
I could on all lines of effort and
achievement. 1 saw what 1 could dur
ing the time I was here. 1 read what
1 could concerning you. I think 1 am
not vain in saying that 1 am as well
regarding you as the average
traveller is. And yet after 1 have
gone away from here and time has
fused what 1 have seen and heard,
there remains in my memory as the
resultant of it all, a sort of phautas-
of showers and sunshine, rain
bows, Punchbowls, Diamond flea Is.
flower women, waving palms. the beat
ing surf and the tourist and traveller
heaters among you.
But even now in my present visit
the time is all too short t. oct an
adequate idea of the wonderful things
in people and products which are here.
But under the energetic direction of
my luna. Brother Wadman, and by the
aid of the politeness of the Kinau,
which in it's bowling is as polite as any
Japanese ever attempted to be. l have
seen more of your archipelago than
had ever seen before, and more than
most travellers see, 1 think. l never
knew but one steamer which could
EQUAL the Kinau. and thank God that
vas wrecked many years ago. And
ret in spite of all, the Kinau took us
,ast a coast that limned itself against
he sky m beetling precipices, and glis-
ening waterfalls more beautiful and
interesting than imagination can pic
ure We went to the Volcano where
ne gets a glimpse of the eternal fires.
nd looks into the very pit of hell, and
There one ought to say the Lords
rayer with a renewed resolution never
gain to bring himself into jeopardy
f the fires that burn without quench-
lg.
WONDERFUL RESULTS.
From Hawaii we went TO Maui with
S wonderful activities Of plantations
nd mills, and then to this island. We
ave gone by your wonderful railroad,
ne creation of one of your fellow citi-
ems, who as some think is as one
orn out of due season, though his
readth of vision and energy of action
ave long been justified by results.
