The Hawaiian gazette., 1913-05-20

on Saturday night, is incongruous. And
vet those who contribute least are Of
ten most critical as to the music, the
preaching, or the general conduct of the
| Church. People give freely to charity,
and they give secretly, as is commended
of Our Lord, but the paying OF one g
dues to the Church is matter that
should not bar thorough publicity,
any more than the payment Of tithes
or taxes. What is given more than this
might be private As far as we know,
/ the Church of the Good Shepherd of
Waikiki is the only one of ours in the
Islands which each year publishes a list
of the subscribers to the Church, and
it certainly has shown by its remark
able success financially, that the system
is not bad one.
Work of Church Schools.
"i5incc coming TO the Islands we have
I believed that the very best way to
build up the Church was through its
schools. We have porsistently worked
/ for their upbuldng. In the City of
/ Honolulu we have st. Elizabeth 5, with
% girls, St. PETERS,, with 90 young
Oriental boys; holy Trinity with 40
Japanese; lolani, with $50 Orientals;
st. Andrews priory with $50 girls;
/ 1t. ,Mary's, with l40 Oriental chill
dfen; Kapahun, with 80, mostly Tia
waiian-a total Of about 500, ana this
/ docs not count three flourishing night
schools.
"The Church School at Waikiki was
the beginning of the upbuilding of the

| sent of late years II girls to st. An
drew s Priory. and Miss Caldwell re-
ports that there are large number of
! line girls who wish to come. The
school at Kula, with As children is
building upa strong mission there, and
though the Chinese are leaving kohaia,
yet the school is an important factor in
keeping up the Church.
81 am sure that there should be "A
closer relationship between the educa-
tional committee and the schools. | be-
lieve that the intention of the Canon
relating to the educational committee
is that this committee be a kind of
hoard to SUPERVISE the schools. We wish
that it could be so. The Bishop has
practically managed the educational
work, and in the carly stages it is well
for one man to have power to act, but
