DEFlED THE GODDESS PE-LE
Hawaiians Feared Such an Act Would
Bring Destruction to Their
Island.

Less than a hundred years ago, be-
fore the United States acquired the
Hawaiian islands, the natives used to-
worship a mysterious goddess Pe-le.
who was supposed to dwell in the
crater of Mount Kilauea. Supersti-
ton had it that If a woman would
climb this mountain, pick berries from
the bushes and fling them into the
crater Pe-le would destroy the island.
Then, after missionaries went to
Hawaii, the natives began to worship
the Christian God, but they could not
shake off this superstition until a
brave Hawaiian woman climbed the
mountain and defed Pe-le. kapiolani.
in 1926, the wife of n of the native
orators, told some of her friends what
she was going to do. They begged
and pleaded for her not to do 1t, fear
ing that the island would be destroy
ed. But this woman could not be
stayed. She climbed the mountain,
picked some of the berries that grew
on the side and flung them into the
lake Of fire, saying:
IF I perish by the anger of Pe-le,
then dread is her power; but, behold,
[ defy her wrath! l have broken her
orders; I live and am safe, for Je-
hovah, the Almighty, is my God. His
was the breath that kindled these
flames; his is the hand which re
strains their fury. Oh, We people, be
hold how vain are the gods of Hawaii,
and serve the Lord"
The cause of faith and freedom was
won from this time on.

REPUBLIC FOR MEN
Monks Live, Study and Pray In
Mount Athos.
Country Formed in Ninth Century and
It Is Said that Foot Of Woman Has
Not Touched Soil In Hundreds
Of Years.

Mount Athos, Greece.-There Is a
womanless republic on a peninsula
south of Macedonia, in Greece, where
10000 men live, studying and praying
constantly, and where policemen
guard the course to keep out women
pilgrims and other persons who would
make undesirable guests. Professor
Casper Rene Gregory, student of Bib

tries.
The place is Mount Athos, classic
peninsula Of Akte, the easternmost of
three little peninsulas below Mace
donia." Professor Gregory explained.
1T is called Mount of the Twenty
Monasteries. and was used in ancient
times as a signaling station to Asia
Minor. 1t is a real republic. There
are 10000 monks there, who govern
themselves without interference from
Turkey or any other country. There
are however, no government buildings.
no president or other officeholders.
"The only police force Is composed
of men who patrol the coast to keep
out women and men who have no per-
nit to enter this most exclusive Of
countries. Only those who have a let
ter of permission from the Greek pat
riarch in Constantinople are allowed
to enter the holy place. The holder
of the letter must present 1t I'M
Karges, the village capital Of the pen
insula."
Some reports have it, Professor
Gregory said, that this republic was
formed in the ninth century. 1t is
said that the foot Of a woman has not
touched the soil Of the place for cen
turtles. All the monks represent the
Greek Catholic church. They work
the soil some, but live chiefly upon
contributions from pilgrims. Proba-
bly, the greatest collection Of Biblical
manuscripts is in the monasteries OF.

room for me. At one side there were
many negro cabins and to these l ap-
