In due process OF time and in
obedience to Gods COMMAND (Gen.
1:28), Eve bore Adam two sons, each
very different type Of manhood.
Mothers ought to ponder upon the
words Of Eve, Il have gotten man
with the help of Jehovah" Parents
should realize that it is God who
sends them their children, 9. g., by his
help. and 1t is to him they must give
account for their nurture and up
bringing. Upon reaching manhood
one, Abel, became shepherd, and
the other, Cain, became farmer. The
difference in their characters, not their
occupations, is illustrated by the sac
rifces they brought to offer unto God.
Although it is not recorded. 1t IL
highly probable that God had COM
manded that there should be an offer
ing of blood. Sin had entered the
world and we are told In Hebrews
1922 and 1918, 80, that only by
the shedding OF blood is there any re-
mission Of sin. The blood atonement
may be repugnant to some superficial
thinkers, but 1t 10 not In the sight OF
God. It is Gods way. It can be
traced in the early traditions Of nearly
every religion.

Joseph A. Gilman, one of the oldest
fire insurance men in Honolulu, was
elected president of the board Of I'M
derwriters at the annual meeting yes
ferday afternoon, succeeding F. Al.
Schaefer, who retired at his own re-
quest after serving twenty-seven years
in the chair. B. Won Damn was elect
cd vice-president, the Bishop Insur-
ance Agency treasurer. the Audit
Company of Hawaii auditor, and A. X.
Gurrey secretary. The last named
Las held the same office for m9ny
years
There was general expression of
regret that Mr.. Schaefer had declined
to continue in the presidency. His
successor was the unanimous choice
of the board.
Revision of rates in the business
section was discussed, the rates on
dwellings having recently been re-
duced. The ideas brought forth will
likely be put into shape by the execu-
tive con- niittee for final action. As
the fireproof limits were extended
some years ago, and more recently a
building ordinance was passed, be-
sides. improvements having been made
in the fire department. 1t Is felt that
the time has come for easier rates
