With ourselves. what are conditions
If the communicates reported at any
place were present each Lord 5 day
every church would be well filed. But
what are the faetss- half Of them,
often two-thirds Of them, are not present.
If we 60 70 our own Cathedral and to
the two largest Protestant places OF
worship in Honolulu on any Sunday
morning and compare the number pres
ent with the reported membership OF
each. there would be a great disparity
The fact is, emitting the Roman Cath
ollie churches and a few others, the
average congregations attending places
OF worship are miserabiy small. Many
sons of old families whose fathers help
ed to make the Islands what they are,
are seldom or never seen as public
worship. Religious conditions. if judged
by church attendance, are in most
places IN a bad way. The Roman
Catholic churches do not lack eongre-
cations as a rule, though even they ind

attendance al Protestant churches very
often exists side bv side with q we'll

THE MODERN SUNDAY-SCH0OL-
1t is a sad and depressing sight to
me to see the children going home after
Sunday school, just as the people are
coming To church. It Is my deliberate
and confirmed conviction that the mod
eru Sunaav-sehools are responsible
largely for the neglect Of worship
Where are the children az church, Go

hardly a child in the building. The
work done in the Sunday-school is
largely an intellectual process. The
children learn nothing of worship. Go
to a Roman Catholic church and there
You find the children worshipiBg, and
they continue to worship when they
grow up. In September I hope to In
augurate at the Cathedral a short ses-
sion of Sunday-sehool: then, if there is
room. the taking of the children, ex-
cept the smallest, into the church, en-
cOuraging the children who have par
ents at church to sit with them and TO
see that those who have not parents
present sit with the teacher. The
smaller children will be permitted TO
leave before the sermon. We do not
as a rule reach the heart by the ordI-
nary Sunday-sehool methods; we sim
ply give a smattering Of knowledge
about the Bible lands and persons.
I an not disparaging the Sunday
school. but 7 am condemniHg the prae-
tee Of it taking the place Of the wor-
ship Of the church. If children attend
church worship, they are apt 70 become
interested and learn 70 love It. The
one church in the Islands, which has II
four years increased $40 per cent. IN
communicates, has a Sunday-school,
every member of which goes TO church.
I ask every clergyman to try this
method If possible, and to stop this d.
vorce between the Sunday-sehool and
the church worship. Feed my lambs y
are the words of Christ. and those who
feed them well after while have large
hoeks Of sheep.

SPIRITUAL CONDITION.

As to the spiritual condition of the
church, If the members who made their
Easter communion Is any indication,
then we have reason to feel encour-
aged. From almost every place came
the report, ''we had on Easter Day
more communicates than ever before
in our history. The increase of com
munieants during the year in the whole
diocese was. II per cent. Every sta
ton except two reported an increase,
and the cause IN these two cases was
that the names of those who never
came to church were omitted. These
have the right to be communicates,
but they are not practically such. Our
reports tell only of men and women
who have been to the Holy Communion
within d reasonable time. The num-
bers we report show a real and not
paper strength. If this method were
bodies of the Islands. we should have
a more nearly correct idea OF religious
conditions in Hawaii than we have now.
As | go about 1 take keen interest
in the state of religion among the peo-
pie, and | make inquiries Of all who
are likely TO know anything concerning
the matter. | have the statistics which
are published, and / ask pastor and
people here and there as to attendance
and other matters which would indicate
religious interest. / rejoice when I
find activity and growth; I am sad
when | see scant congregations and
hear of conditions which show neglect
of religious life.
Let me speak of others frst-not to
compare. but TO see what conditions
are. Not to blame others, not to say,
- We are better than you, or we know
how to work better than you,' but
to learn and to see whether the church
has that which can assist in changing |
conditions if we have earnest men of |
the clergy and Of the laity consecrated |
to God TO do her work.
SMALL CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
As | go about the Islands find, for |
a native congregation report
ing nearly one hundred and thirty |
members. / make inquiries and find |
that on an average eight or ten are in
outside of the members of /
a boarding school near by. In another
place I find a congregation reported
with over two hundred members where
stating this Is the fault of anyone, but
hat it is a sad fact. At other places
find similar conditions Again, find
n papers that there are many Koreans
reported as Christians in the Islands.
lut / find also on careful inquiry that
his Christianity is usually of the most
nominal kind. Quite a number who
nave been baptized have come to me
II some of our clergy and on inquiry
We find that they know nothing about
he Christian religion. When we have
lsked them about prayer, they say they
lave never been taught to pray. When
We ask them whether they had been in
trueted before baptism, they say,
No. we were asked whether we be
ieved in Jesus and wanted TO be bap-
lied. and we said yes - They had
lardly any idea of what they were do
ng. This certainly does harm instead
f good, however it may swell num-
,ers.
