The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-02-07

There is a wonderful outlook in all
of phantasmagoria of another kind. in
which wonderful men achieving won
derful results with wonderful products
are the component parts.
ct have met many of your men OF
affairs I have become so well ac-
quainted with some OF your curio deal
ers. that IL were able and cared for
them. 1 would not hesitate to trust
any one of those I have met with an
order from another land for thou
sand pounds. And let me say that I
know of no better element In your
promotion propaganda than to cuiti-
vate and deserve such a reputation
for honesty, not alone in the precarious
business Of selling curios. but in every
other business, great and small.
THE WONDERFUL VOLCANO.
"In your efforts at promotion and
to advance the interests of the archi-
pelago you should strive to keep peo-
pie here. You should seek to make
OF them tourists rather than through
travellers And in this work you must
cultivate the other islands. All there
is to see is not In Honolulu, I have
no doubt but that new boat which
Is to replace the Kinau will be great
aid in this. But that volcano is worth
coming five times as far as came. TO
see. Active, 1t is always active. The
day saw it there was no smoke COM
ing out of it. But from a thousand
fbor
evidence of the pent up and eternal
fires below. and looking down into Ha-
lemaumau one could see into the very
pit of hades. and I resolved, es I said
few minutes ago that every man
ought to resolve, not to put myself in
danger of the fires of future punish
ment.
"You ought to make the wonders OF
these islands so we'll and widely known.
that you could insist that no man
should be admitted to Paradise with
out having taken the first degree by
entering this Paradise of the Pacific.
DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES.
your greatest need is seemingly
your greatest desire, a fixed popula-
ton with diversified industries. All Of
your efforts in this direction are efforts
in the right direction. And you will
have success. You cannot expect the
public at large to be all interested in
any one single industry no matter what
it is. l see no reason why you should
not greatly develop all those industries
which seem now promising. and a
great many more.
THE CHURCHES AND PROMOTION.
81 am grateful to you for your hos
pitality to the church I represent, and
to all the churches. But 1 was dis
appointed in looking through the mag
nifcently illustrated book your COM
mittee has published descriptive of the
islands. to see no mention whatever
made of the existence here of the
Methodist church. There are in the
United States ten million members and
fifteen million adherents of the Meth
odist church in its various branches.
felt that the man who wrote that
book ought to be taken to an old FASH
toned Methodist revival meeting and
brought up to the mourner's bench.
that he might know something of tho
Methodist church. There ought to be
mention of all the churches. The mem
bers of each church are interested in
knowing that there is church of their
faith here, and of the conditions under
which it lives. The membership of the
churches furnishes a more definite con-
stituency than any you have yet ap-
pealed to. 1 myself shall soon be in
communication with a number of our
UNCONVENTIONAL papers all of large cir
culation. and Of course I shall write
what I think about the islands.
IN THE BOND OF THE SPIRIT.
Reach the church people and bring
them here, the Methodists and the
Presbyterians, and the Episcopalians.
and the Christians, and the Baptists
through their church papers, and get
Ill the other churches here that are
lot here now. provided they are will
ng to keep the peace in the bond Of
he spirit.
AT Yale college when man
breaches a half a minute over twenty
minutes the students begin to cheer
lin and they keep on cheering until
lie sits down. So that for fear you
night begin to cheer me 1 am going
o close with one sentence. l saw the
-acht Hawaii which you are building
yesterday. 1 noted her graceful curves
nd her beautiful model, and / tell
-ou now, may the Hawaii win in the
ace across the Pacific. And in every
ace and contest in which you enter
or the development of these islands.
nay you proudly wear the colors Of
riumph. For the spiritual develop
lent is closely allied with the mate
ial. and we are to be not slothfui in
usiness as well as fervent in spirit
rhile serving the Lord. and we can
erve Him in no other way"
