ADDRESS !.


'eThe Evil Eye" will be the subject
of an address delivered by David
Carey Peters, pastor of the local
Christian Church. in the Empire thea
tire tomorrow evening, the occasion be-
ing the third of the series of mass
meetings being held each Sunday
evening under the direction of the
Young Mems Christian Association
for those men who are not in the hab-
it of attending church regularly. That
these mass meetings are proving a
success is shown by the interest
manifested by the more than five
hundred men. who have been pres
ent at the first two meetings.
Thus far, Mr.. Peters has been the
speaker at each meeting, and his adj
dresses, which to great extent have
been full of stories of experiences in
the life on the western plains, have
been of great interest to the men.
The musical programs, which have
been such important features of the
meetings, will be continued. The con-
cert by the orchestra under the di-
rection of Prof. Carl Miltner of Oahu
College, will open the meeting with.
three selections: The Spirit of Lib
erty, "Auld Lang Syne" and "Chanson
Triste." The Association male quar-
tet will sing Pilgrims of the Night"
and "At the Cross" The men will be
asked to join in the chorus of the
latter selection. DIR. Juan B. Ruffo,
former advisor of the late President
Ma6cro and a graduate of the con-
ssryatory of the University of Paris,
will assist in the quartet work. The
vocal selections by Mrs. G. K. Tack
abury have caught the attention of
the men because of the familiar songs
she makes Use of. Tomorrow even-
ing she will sing Home Sweet
Home" and THE Holy City,
The religious work committee of

ton, which is in charge of the meet
inss, feels that at last it has found
solution of the problem of. reaching

lulu, For years it has been trying
to hold the meetings ON Sunday aft
ernoons, but so far these meetings
have never been a success in reaching
the men. Now that such a large num-
Der of men attend each meeting, the

The greatest of Mauis sons We
tare called upon to honor this day.
Born at l4ahaina in 1912, Henry Per
'rine Baldwin spent practically his
ientire ne on this island. HE WAS
away at Punahou school for seven
years. Aside from this short period
lof time and brief trips to the main
| land, his sixty-nine years were iden-
titled most closely with the life and
history OF Maui.
Forming a partnership with Mr.
Alexander in the firm OF Alexander
/ & Baldwin, his memorable career as
leader in the development of the
sugar industry OF these islands be-
gan. Knowing intimately all the va
ri0us kinds OF work connected with
the raising of sugar, he soon saw the
need of mere thorough irrigation, and
| is generally regarded as the founder
of the extensive irrigation system of
cane culture. ~ ...a
Throughout his whole life he was
a constructionist His constant effort
was toward permanent improvement
in all the plantations in which he was
interested. In sugar circles his advice
was constantly sought. At many a
meeting Of sugar men his opinion
would often carry over that OF all
others associated with him. Iii
Not alone in the industrial life of
Hawaii was Mr.. Baldwin a great
leader. What he did for sugar he did
also for the political and moral wei
fare of this island community. ~....
In that distressing time that pre-
ceded and followed the Revolution of
1898, the Hawaiian people knew not
which way to turn Many of their So
called friends had deserted them.
Many others, pretending TO be true,
they found false But in a. P! Bald
win they soon found a man ito be
trusted. Upon him they constantly
depended for advice and leadership.
