Over half hundred members of the
noon in the Old Mission Home-the
first frame house set UP in Honolulu
on King street. heard encouraging
reports from the officers of the organ
ization, and listened to interesting
letters and extracts from letters writ
ten to the first missionaries who came
to the Sandwich Islands. George r.
Carter was elected president of the
society for the coming year by unani-
nous vote.
The meeting of the society was
opened by prayer by the Rev. John
Gulick, himself one of the early mis-
sionary workers in the Hawaiian Is
lands, this being followed by the sing
ing by all those present of THE Tie
That Binds After a report by
George R. Carter, dealing with the fl
nancial status of the society, which
was highly encouraging to the mem
beers, Mr.. Carter stated that a plan
was on foot to secure the old Cham
berlain property, nearby, and keep It
up much as the OLD Mission Home is
at present being taken care of.
The most interes ing feature of the
afternoons program was the reading
of old letters which were written to
the first little band of missionaries
who made the perilous voyage from
the Atlantic Coast. in sailing ships, to
these mid-Pacific isles, then populated
by the heather. References were
made in several of the letters to the
time when Kamehameha H., who was
then King of the Islands, burned all
the idols and destroyed all evidences
of idolatry. Again. it is shown by the
letter which is published below that,
had the natives of Hawaii not re-
ceived the missionaries with some
show aof kindness, the latter would
have gone probably to the Society Is
lands. This evoked a laughing COM
ment from one of the members that

the canoeing and surfing off the Moana
Hotel yesterday afternoon until he
waxed enthusiastic and engaging
canoe entered it without going to the
trouble of donning a bathing suit. He
was clad in a linen suit, carried a cane,

He enjoyed the surfing for some time,
but it was real wet out on those big,
high pillows, and when the canoe final
