of the Hawaiian band held services.
The band was great attraction. In

Broader Membership.
Gas for the future; the new b1ild-
ing is no larger than needed. The
qualification for membership is in the
hands of the Evangelical churches, and
the field in Honolulu and the Hawaiian
Islands is broadening out, and it is
proper that the qualification for mem
bership in the Y. M. c. A., should
broaden out. The association has work
to do among the young soldiers and
with the growth of the city the forces
of evil grow-the saloon, gambling and
houses of prostitution.
tThe attitude of the Young Men s
Christian Association is that of a man
on solid footing who holds out his
hand to the man in the quicksands,
light by which to find your way.
