BY WOMEN'S BOARD MEMBERS

ton. The Cleaners are all young
girls who have become interested in
the Mission work. Many of the
ladies who are at present members
of the Woman's Board were formerly
members OF this society. The young
ladies meet the second Wednesday
of each month and sew at the parlors
of Central Union Church Aside
from the sewing that the girls have
been doing they, have been studying
interesting topics. They are all In
terested in their work and are. en-
thasiastic. WORKERS. " ( SO i
One of the interesting trepof tsf was
that. of. Miss GreenS the Hawaiian
worker Miss Green has so many in
innate. little experiences with the
Hawaiian women with whom she
works, and she relates these tales in
an interesting way. She told of her
visit to the prison where with her
helpers she was able to give some
comfort. The condition. ath6ng the
Hawaiian women seems tdsbe better;
and Miss Green is helping to better
1t, for while she works among them,
she works rather as a sister than a
superior person. She, is very much
interested in the people of the Moli-
liili district and says often that she
wishes that the settlement work
might be carried on there. The
young people there are very much
interested in the Sunday school, and
a number of boys who had grown out
of the young peoples telass, and who
did not feel that they wanted to enter
the class with the adults returned
to her a few weeks ago asking for
teacher. She mas been able to in
terest one of the Y. M. c. A. workers
so that he now has a class full Of
young men every Sunday afternoon.
And so her work is full of tales
of progress for she relates many
stories of Hawaiians who are becom-
ing more and more interested in the
Bible teachings.
The principal address of the after
noon was that of Reverend William
Gulick of Spain. DR.. Quick has lived
In Spain for a great many years and
he and his beloved wife founded the
Institute for Girls there. He told OF
the long struggle he and Mrs. Gu
lick made before their dreams were
realized
When they first lived in Spain Dr.
and Mrs. Gulick did not consider the
founding of school, but one day a
woman came to them with her
twelve-year-old daughter, saying, that
the child must help support the fam
lily and that her own desire and that
of the child was that she should
teach school. There was no way but
that the Gulicks should take the
girl into their own home and make
her a member of their own family.
And so their family grew and girl
after girl came to them seeking edu-
cation. These girls were taught the
American way and when they COM
peted with the boys they we're so far
ahead of them that much praise was
given DR.. and Mrs. Gulick through
the press Dr Quick related many
steps in the founding of the
Institute and his address was heard
with interest
DR.. Vrooman, a mission worker in
the Himalayas, gave short talk
upon the need for mission workers
where she came from. There are
Of the inhabitants there
who have never heard of the Christ
ian religion. She urged that some Of
the women here interested in the mis-
sion work should 10 to India.
The Ramalai collection was taken
yesterday and amounted TO seventy
five dollars.
