That the attendance at the annual
conventions of the association bids
fair to be somewhat depleted in years
To come is evident from the lengthy
discussion which arose at the call for
REPORTS from the committees on spe-
cial business. Rev. ]. M. Lydgate,
chairman of the committee which was
appointed 10 Investigate the advisa-
bility, Of reducing the representation
at the conventions of the three assoc
Citations, namely the Christian En-.
deavor, the Church and the Sunday
School, spoke of the matter Of reduc-
ton as being one of vital importance
TO the church, principally from finan-
cial point of view.
More Money Needed.
In the near future, he said, 1t Is
going to be hard to get money, and
if we are going to make this reduc-
ton at all. we may as well begin here.
Stephen Desha, the silver-tongued ora
tor from Hawaii, spoke at length In
Hawaiian, saying that the cause Of the
reduction was matter of money and
not because of the lack of hospitality.
1t was brought out that the money
which the various churches contrib
uted this year toward the holding Of
the convention, has not amounted to
even one-half Of the entire expense
which has been met with in thus far
entertaining the delegates. Some of
the churches on the other islands, ii
was stated, have been in the habit of
sending at times more than ten dele
gates, and these churches In many
cases have only paid as much as IS
toward the entertainment fund The
report of the investigation committee
was accepted, and although the bust
ness meeting was adjourned before
any definite action was taken on the
matter. it is expected that the subject
will be brought up later In the SEES

ported that no petitions had been pre-
scented during the year.
