Letters From
the People

Editor Advertiser:-Y report in
the Sunday Advertiser of what you
yourself state your press representative
was requested by President 2. C..
Jones of the Hawaiian Board to con-
slider private session of the Board
on Saturday last, has just been brought
to my attention by the letter of Rev.
Mr.. Wallace in your paper of June i.
The letter is correct in its quotation
from the Sunday paper, and its state
ments would be in place had l really
spoken in this way. The only error in
the letter is in making it seem that L
spoke at a session of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association when in reality
it was at private session of its Board.
There is just enough truth in what l
that I said was wholly in reference to
money, help or backing. After saying
considerable that is not printed in the
Sunday paper, but ought to have been,
if anything was to be printed, l said
that L had practically no white people
in my church (not meaning that there
were not some excellent exceptions) !;
that all the white people were English
(meaning the English or Episcopal
chureh), and then, in the way of a
jest, as | had already brought laugh
once or twice, 1 added, and unnatural
lied, too, meaning the English portion
of the white people of the English
church. 1t was probably poor taste,
but was said in the same feeling of
abandon with which I would make
remark in my own home. I feel that
this explanation of portion of my re-
marks is sufficient apology for using
the word "unnaturalized in what
would have been far too general way
had it not been in the nature of jest.
Mr.. Wallace maintains my real con-
tention when he closes his letter, in
which he names twenty-seven families
by saying, "with few EXCEPTIONS those
mentioned who go to any place of
worship are associated with Christ
Church, Kona, and they and their fam
lilies are members of it.''

NOTICE.

lowering the two series of threads by
terlocked, is accomplished in this
loom by curious contrivance oper-
ated by the right foot of the weaver
who, as she sits down to work, slips
one foot through padded loop in the
end of a small rope lying under the
loom. This rope runs back to the
farther end of the loom opposite to
the operator and connects with ap-
propriate levers and harnesses" so
that by tightening the rope one series
of threads is raised and the other Sc
ries lowered for the passage of the
shuttle, while by loosening the rope
the one series of threads is lowered
and the other series raised. By pass
ing the shuttle back and forth, lust
after Tightening and loosening the
rope enables the weaver to interlock
the shuttle-thread, thus making a per-
feet weave.
This old primitive loom is, to me
at least, a very interesting relic, and
it does the work of weaving as defined
above. The finished cloth is truly
woven.
1t has been my good fortune to have
seen in operation the old man-power,
or rather woman-power, looms used
by many of the great grandparents
of our New York and New England
folk: such looms turned out home
spun" cloth for suitings and rag
carpets for the floors 1 have also
seen the modern power-looms for max
ing cotton and wooden fabrics and the
marvelously intricate machines for
weaving silk handkerchiefs of most
intricate patterns. I knew the in
ventors of looms for weaving wire
netting, known here as galvanized
and bronze wire-netting, for windows
and screen doors. 1 remember the
clumsey slow working machines they
first perfected and watched the evolu-
ton until they perfected their quick
acting power looms so near to in
telligence that a single wide-awake
operator can watch a half dozen of
them at a time and never do any
thing more strenuous, physically, THAI.
to unite little broken wires. But a
loom is a loom This Strange Relic
of Old Japan" "does the trick as
perfectly in it's way as any, and
weaves cotton cloth.
Since spinning and weaving and the
making of garments has in times pa st
played so important a part in the
home-life of all people, whether civil
lied or savage, 1 can see in this little
group of primitive machines the
nucleus about which an imaginative
creative mind might spin a yarn and
weave 1T into al fabric of story ~
captivate our thoughts and thrill our
hearts and swathe our wrapt atten-
ton until We should ravel it all out
in the very last chapter.
