Hawaii has been happy indeed in

have undergone experiences that
tested the Judgment and integrity OF
the electorate with the result that our
citizenship does not suffer by COM
parison with the oldest communities

While giving thanks for the bless

not forget that the uses to which these

A SERMON WORTH WHILE.

A philadelphia preacher delivered a
political sermon recently which de-
serves more than passing comment.
It was not u sermon denouncing
those in authority and picturing the
city as n blot. 1t was a wholesome
sermon---with emphasis laid upon the
duty OF citizenship.
His theme was cooperation.
He suggested that II. instead of find
ing fault and complaining. the citizen
would adopt the method OF cooperat-
ing with the Mayor and with the 9TH
er municipal authorities, he would be
doing good service.
This was not the usual sermon.
Many ministers, like others of us,
consider their chief duty to be fault
finding. 60 many of us neglect the
Importance OF cooperation.
Communities cannot be composed
of individuals especially created after
one particular pattern; generally,
there are as many types as there are
men and women.
Government must be administered
with strict regard for the views as
well as the rights of all.
Because man does not like his
neighbor is not sufficient reason
why he should refuse to cooperate
with him in a street improvement that
is TO their mutual advantage.
Because men do not like public Of
ficers, or agree with them on Incl
dental questions OF politics, is not a
good reason why they should resort
to fault-iinding and refuse to do their
share to make things better.
Progress Is written not In fault.
finding, but In making the best OF
conditions.
And when the Rev. Mr.. Randolph
of the Trinity Methodist church
preached cooperation, he gave goot
advice TO the citizen who would coun
himself u factor in the community
and set an example for other min
lstors in other communities.
