BISHOP HONDA
GIVESLECTURE
Many Local Japanese Min
listers Gather al Meeting
For Instruction.

Bishop Honda, who arrived on the
last steamer from the States, gava the
local Japanese ministers most in
structiye talk yesterday in the Jap
arcse Y. NJ. G. a. building on Kukui
street. Many of the local Japanese
ministers have never beer to the
States and the lecture, by Bishop
Honda, as TO the status OF the Chris
tian church on the mainland gave
them an insight to things OF which
they had no previous knowledge.
The Bishop referred to the popular
laymen's missionary movement az an
other evidence of the growth OF the
church along wholesome md intelii-
gent lines. This great movement Is
an eloquent argument against the crit
icism so often hurled against the
church, 10 the effect that the churcheS
are composed mostly OF women and
children. The laymen may not always
be on hand in large numbers when
the subbath bells ring. but they are
usually In their places and meeting
their responsibilities wh"n duty de-
mands H.
The Bishop is a fluent speaker and
every word of his lectures is of inter-
est. lie will preach in the South
King street church tonight.
