METHODIST REVIVAL

Considering the inclement weather
a large congregation assembled in
the Methodist church Tuesday night
and those who braved the snow
and the slippery streets felt well
repaid for coming.
Rev. Mr.. Richardson preached
from a text taken from l Kings,
XVIII. 21: How long halt we be-
tween two opinions? II the Lord be
God, follow him"
After sketching the historical
setting of this passage OF scripture
with special attention to the charac-
ters of Obadiah, good, but umor-
Gus; of Ahab, wicked and therefore
weak, and of Elijah, strong and
fearless, as he challenged the peo-
pie with the question of the text,
the speaker applied this same ques-
ton to the people of today
First he discussed the word
halt" in its Specification of limp.
Many Christians, he said, go limp
ing or hating through life, and
the principal points where they are
lame are in their timidity confess
ing their allegiance to Christ and
in their unwillingness to make a
personal appeal to others to &C
cept and follow Christ. Usually the
difficulty in these cases Is tina
there Is some secret sin In the
hearts of such people, so the speak
er urged all to right themselves wit
God so that they might walk sure
ly and steadfastly.
But the word halt" also means
to stop and Mr.. Richardson drew
a striking picture of those who
stop at the parting of the two
ways, the broad and the narrow.
Why do they not choose the narrow,
he asked In the first place, be-
cause the entrance to the broad way
looks attractive and inticing with
its promise of worldly pleasure and
one cannot see that at the end
lie disaster and remorse, while the
opening of the narrow way lies
through the valley of repentance,
and many fail to realize that the
end is bright with happiness and
glory. Another reason for not
choosing the narrow way is the
lack OF moral courage.
Here the speaker made ringing
appeal to lay aside cOwardiee and
TO halt no longer between two opin-
ions.
Several persons responded to this
invitation, thus showing their de-
termination to choose God and His
kingdom.

To The Free Lance:

pleasure, but TO all it should mean

without risk and with very little cap

that this method of disposal is not
above serious criticism, and would
call attention to the following points:

the buyers of molasses after CONVEX
sion into cattle food or alcohol might
be retained in part at any rate in
these islands by the erection of cen
tralized distilleries.
y. The removal of the molasses
from the islands takes away permd-
nently very large quantities of potash
and smaller quantities of still more
valuable nitrogen. From analyses
made at your experiment station q
gallon of molasses may be estimated
to contain 1858 pounds potash, O2O
pounds phOsphoric acid and O42
pounds nitrogen; per ton of molasses
these figures correspond to SO pounds
potash, 3 pounds phosphoric acid and
7 pounds nitrogen; the total produc-
ton of molasses in these islands now
is about 100000 tons, so that the sale
OF our entire, production of molasses
to the mainland would simultaneously
/ result in the removal of 100000
pounds potash, 100000 pounds phos,
4, phoric acid and 7OO,J 900 pounds nitro
gen; valuing potash at 6 cents per
! pound, phosphoric acid at "a cents
I per pound and nitrogen at 20 cents

uents is potash $55S 900, phospphoriC

An important as well as interesting
report presented at the present con-
vention of planters is that of the com.
mittee on manufacture of sugar and
utilization of by-products, signed by
Noel DEER, Robert Cation and w. J.
Dyer
Following some severely technical
subject matter on the utilization OF
steam in the factory, and Of bagasse,
the report takes up the utilization Of
molasses. On this subject letters OF
inquiry had been sent to all planta-
ton managers, on the results OF
which the report says:
From the information received it
is apparent that very large extern
sion of the shipment of molasses to
the mainland for use either as cattle
food OF for the production of alcohol
has taken place; the first contract Ter
this material was made by the Ha.
waiian Commercial & Sugar Company
in 1910 and since then several mills
have shipped or will in the very near
future, ship all or part of the molasses
to the coast. These mills include The
follOwing Maui Agricultural Com
pany, Pioneer Mill Company Waikiki
Sugar Company, Oahu Sugar Com
pany, and Honolulu Plantation Com
pany. These mills represent the pro-
duction of between one-third and one
fourth of the sugar produced in these
islands.

small quantity of molasses is used
but this is quite a small item. On
those plantations employing irriga

their molasses TO mainland concerns

be remembered that report from
the leading European expert on a

not hesitate to condemn this product.
1t will be of interest to you to learn
that several firms in Java adopted a
less conservative attitude and recoy-
cred large quantities of this material

These figures as they are calcu-
lated are very striking, but consider
able allowance must at once be made;
the figures giving the profit on the
sale Of molasses represent money re-
ceived in cash and from the figures
representing the nominal value of the
constituent of molasses must be de-
Quoted the cost of application which
on plantations which do not irrigate
is very, perhaps prohibitively, expen-
sive. 1t also should be mentioned
that recent work at your experiment
station, carried out by Mr.. S. S. Peck,
indicates that the sugar present in
molasses may when applied to the
growing crop accelerate the activities
of the denitrifying organisms and act
ually depress the yield and that 10
obtain full benefit from the use OF
molasses as fertilizer it should be
applied two or three months before
planting. On the other hand, by the
treatment of molasses by fermenta-
ton and recovery of alcohol a residue
Is left which contains all the material
of fertilizing value and which is
amenable to treatment to be obtained
in form suitable for fertilizer. So
far as the fertilizing materials go the
spent residue after distillation of the
alcohol might be run directly on to
the soil but this would be. imprac-
ticable in all but few cases. The re,
covery of the residue may be effected
by means of concentration Of the rest
due. The recovery Of distilIery waste
is at the present time an industry Of
considerable magnitude on the con
tinent of Europe where beet molasses

time the findings were against the
prospects of the establishment of IN
alcohol industry. Your committee
thinks that considering the possibil-

fuel, the retention of the fertilizmg
constituents for the molagses for local
use and the use of alcohol for produc-
ton Of power on plantations, the sub
ject is worthy OF reconsideration

points of advantage since molasses
itself can be shipped at a very low
cost and the shipment Of alcohol is
by comparison very expensive; your
committee believe that consideration
of these points largely influenced the
decision TO sell molasses rather than
alcohol.
In discussing the question of the
production of alcohol from molasses,
your committee are not unmindful on
the fact that this matter was dis
cussed eight years ago when very
careful and able report was presented
