preaching on alternate Sunday nights
on the relation of the church to mod
ern phases of modern life. In his SER
mon last night he also urged the
church to adjust itself to modern
methods, especially advocating the CO.
operation of churches in Christian
work without regard to denomination.
Because the church had been too
slow in this adjustment, he said that
statistics showed fifty-five great Pro-
testant denominations had gained less
than one per cent in the last few years.
However, he expressed himself optim-
istic that the church would finally adj
just itself to the rapid progress in the
last fifty years, a sign of which hope
he cited the "Men and Religion Move
ment."
His sermon in part follows:
1.-THE car of Russia once learned
that a sentinel had paced a certain
beat for over eighty years because
Catherine the Great, eighty years ago,
had ordered a sentinel to protect the
ground on which a certain spring
flower was growing and the order had
never been rescinded.
"In the church too many issues dead
over eighty years ago are as carefully
guarded. The need of the church to-
day is people in the pulpit and pews
that will adjust themselves to new
conditions. We don't need a new Cos
pei, new Bible or new Christ, but to
make Christian teachings applicable to
the modern decade.
"A1l modern, progressive institutions
advertise, but if you pick UP a State
Journal you will find, tucked way
down in a little corner where a stran-
ger in town would scarcely see it, a
little notice about our church, once a
week. If 1 had my way, the First
Methodist church would have half a

page of advertising in the daily papers
at least once a week, paid for at the
regular advertising rates. The stores,
theaters, and all other business places
plenty of printers ink. The church
needs it, too.
Another thing which breaks my
heart is to go into a small town, of say
1000 people, and see five or six
churches of different denominations
struggling to get along, because since
Luther broke away from the Catholic
church, the Protestant churches have
split up into different denominations
on account of a minor difference of
oeneI. II l had my way the only creed
a person would have to subscribe to
to belong to my church would be that
he loved God with all his heart, mind
and soul and his neighbor as himself
Through inventions within only the
last fifty years so many changes have
been made in the lines of activity and
mode of thinking that we have not got
our bearings yet
THE church world is the slowest to
adjust itself to these changed condi-
the church flew off with the cranks it
would likely land in the ditch. For
there are more cranks in the realm of
religion, more faddists and fools than
anywhere else and every hobbiest
wants to head the procession.
Don't fret The church will adjust
itself. The truth need not change, but
methods must change, just as govern
ments must amend their constitutions
to keep pace with progress. Any
conditions Will be left with vacant
pews. I am optimistic about its fu-
ture, and as for our own church. I
thank God that we have a board of
directors who will see to it that we
shall have ne wchurch building made
Tor modern needs"

generous givers of Hawaii have scent
ed a need afar off. How admirably
have the great gifts of our local past
been timed to the precise need! And
never has a gift been more admirably
timed than that of the Mary Castle
Trust in offering to the Young Won
ems Christian Association that large
tract of land, containing over three
acres, on King street, including the lot
on which the homestead is situated,
and the adjoining lot, formerly the site
of Kawaiahao Seminary. This tract
has frontage on King street of over
four hundred feet, with a depth of
about three hundred and fifty feet, be-
ing bounded on one side by King
street and on the other by Hotel
street. A conservative estimate of the
value of this trict is about $4,000.
The proposition made by the Mary
Castle Trust is to give the Young
Womens Christian Association a war

uses of the association, on condition
