First of a Series of Enter
tanning Letters Written Ex-
pressly for The Review by
F. O. Brown, Tourist.

In spite of these and other OBJ
stacles the conquests of missions in
Hawaii are marvels of history. In
1922 the first Christian marriage was
celebrated; in 1924 the chiefs agreed
to recognize the sabbath, and adopted
the Ten Commandments as the basis
OF the government; in 1925 the re-
gent became an ardent christian; in
1926 nine chiefs, representing nearly
all the highest rang, entered the
church; the same year it is said that
congregation of not less than ten
thousand natives once gathered to
hear the gospel preached. From 1887
to 1899, $1,000 members were added
to the church and twenty-seven thous-
and were added to the church and
twenty-seven thousand were admitted
to membership during the next six
years. On one Sunday Titus Coan,
representing the American board, bap-
tized 1705 persons. He was stationed
at Hilo for forty-eight years. A few
sentences will show the magnificent
heroism of this missionary. He made
a 800 mile tour by foot and by canoe.
Travelling on account of the volcanic
structure of the island, crags, ra-
vines and torrents, was very difficult.
He says: Some of the rivers l sue
ceeded in fording; some l swan by
the help of rope to prevent my be.
ing swept away; and over some l was
carried on the broad shoulders of a
native, while a company of strong
men locked and stretched themselves
across the stream just below me and
just above near cataract, to save me
from going over it if my bearer should
fall. This experience was often re-
peated three or four times day"
AS is generally known, at Molokai,
Hawaiian Islands, the United States
government has had over a thousand
lepers 600 now under its care. Faith
er Damien labored among such unfor-
Inmates here for twenty years. Finally
he contracted the disease and died in
1889.
Americas commercialism is re-
moving some of the ancient land
marks Of primitive beauty and it is
plainly evident that Uncle Sam is not
here for his health alone. As in the
Philippines and elsewhere, he has
great talent for combining business
with pleasure.

ious land of the free and home Of the

quite too much to deduct from Ameri-
cas- progress and privilege. Our
country gets away from absentees
very fast. TO illustrate: A man told
at the ship table that after few
years in the PHILIPPINES he has just
been back to the states. During his
first days at home he heard woman
say: 81 went to register" In per-
plexity he asked, Register for WHAT
"Why, to vote, of course, was the
reply. In his brief sojourn abroad he
had lost track of the latest stages Of
woman suffrage.

it was raised over the ship, so we
bow to the national emblem under
which we sail and say: Here's to
