needs of the present time as those
fathers were to be needs of the past.
Land of Christian Conquest.
There is all the difference in the
world between an inheritOr and a stew
ard. Both alike come into a goodly
heritage. In such land as this, whose
history can not be written except in
the words of Christian conquest,
achieved through Christian consecra-
ton and self-denial, every man who is
born here, and every man who comes
here from abroad, enters into the pos
session of distinct advantages that add
immeasurably to his personal comfort.
The inheritor accepts these advantages
as a matter of course; the steward
accepts them as the conveyance to
him of a sacred trust
No man can continue to be a mere
inheritor who takes an honest look at
the facts of social and spiritual need
all about us, and stops to think of
what God must expect of him in the
circumstances. We are all aware of
our stewardship when we think of
Christ, and remember that every man
of need is a brother of Christ, wheth-

or hungry, or without the word of life.
Many Are Here.
And there are many such among us,
the aborigines of the soil; the man
from the East, and the man from the
West; the little children of a dozen
nationalities in the most congested and
unsanitary sections; the youth who are
to be the fathers and mothers of to-
morrow and who need for the social
security of the community to have the
restraints and the privileges of Chris
tian training; the young men who can
be saved from the maelstrom of camp
life temptations; the men of need, and
therefore the brethren of Christ, out of
almost every nation, are all about us
in this land.
To see to it that the helping hand
of Christian love and counsel and prac-
teal aid shall be extended to such as
these is the mission of the Hawaiian
Board. Tt aims to meet every real
need with an honest attempt at relief.

The generous giving in these days to
religious and philanthropic objects
springs from a sense of trusteeship
whose responsibilities men are not dis
posed to disregard. 1t is one of the
unique triumphs of the spirit of Christ
among men, that this sense of trustee
ship has been so remarkably awaken
ed and stimulated to generous express
sion. One of the profoundest thinkers
of New England, a generation ago,
prOphesied that. the next great revival
would be one characterized by gener-
Gus giving to benefeent objects. We
are in that era now. Large sums of
money are being given in our day, and
by a greater number of individual
givers than ever before in the world IS
history. Men are everywhere reeog-
nizing in increasing measure their
trusteeship of the manifold grace of
God.
Now there has gone along with this
awakened sense of obligation Godward,
a deepening sense of obligation man
ward. The Divine claims on the in
dividual seem very real in our day as
the result of a clearer perception of
Jesus revelation of God. But the
claims of humanity are none the less
real as the result of fuller accept
ance of Jesus doctrine of the brother
hood of man. It is notably the grow
ing conviction that it is the business
of the Christian to satisfy these two
claims. viz: to be responsible to the
promptings of Divine grace, on the one
hand, and to the urgency of humani-
ty's need, on the other. All men, &C
eording to their degree of Christian
enlightenment, are stewards of great
trust. That trust is to administer in
the interest of others the blessings
that have been conferred on our
selves. In the administering of this
trust, certain agencies are invaluable
in securing concentration and eff
cheney. One such agency is the Ha-
waiian Board, which was devised by
che men who gave Christian civiliza-
ton to this land. and which has been
perpetuated by those who have reeog-
nized the worth of the invaluable ser
vices of the missionary fathers, and
who have resolved TO be as true to the

The Board, moreover, is actively en-
gagged in missionary work among ORR
entails; in efforts to reinforce our Ha-
waiian churches; in giving effective
aid to our three Portuguese churches;
in providing aid for disabled minis
tiers and the widows of minister's; in
directing evangelistic work under men
of acquired influence; and in. secur-
ing such personal supervision of every
department of the work of the Board
as will assure the greatest possible
efficiency.
These are all things that need to be
done They have a clear call on the

realization of our own inheritance from
the Christian generations that have
preceded us, without recognizing our
own responsibility to the men and
women of our day, who are right about
us now.
This is our trusteeship, and doubt
less we mean every one of us to meet
it squarely and righteously. In the
very nature of things, some of us are
more drawn to certain features of be-
nevolent effort than to others. There

The immense success which has tol-
lowed L. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has
exceeded anything of the kind ever
before witnessed in most of the lead
ing cities where the young man has
introduced the medicine. Cooper has
a novel theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his
arrival in an eastern city: THE
average man or worman cannot be
sick if the stomach is working prop
erly. To be SURG, there are diseases
OF virulent nature, such as cancer,
tuberculosis, diabetes, etc, which are
organic, and are not traceable to the
stomach, but even fevers can, in nine
eases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All Of
this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that
Is now SO common, is caused by the
stomachic conditions, and it is be-
eause my remedy will and does regu-
iate the stomach that ! am meeting
nth such success.
