Report OF Secretary.
In reading his report as correspond
| ing secretary of the Hawaiian Board
at the session of the Hawaiian Evan
gelical association this morning, W.
B. Oleson briefly reviewed the early
history 81 the board and spoke of the
organizing of the local association be-
cause of the withdrawal of the Amer
lean board from the Hawaiian field.
He then handled in a mastery way
the close relation. of the changing in
Gustrial conditions here and the need
of wider service with the increasing
burdens upon the people who have SO
Loyalty contributed to the local mis-
sionary enterprise. The great loss in
membership and attending cfrcuIn-
stances in the churches OF the Hawai-
ian board in the early days of the
changed Industrial anu social condi-
tions in Hawaii, Mr. 0leson attributes
to the shifting of the population and
the rapid increase of Asiatics who
came to work as laborers on the
plantations.
In spite 'of all difficulties that at
tended the changes in the social ap
religious life of Hawaii, the church
work was steadily developed in the
last fifty years: the twenty-four
churches are now one hundred an
four. There are 3,04S more members
than fifty years ago, and this in spite
of the well known decrease in the
Hawaiian population of the islands
During the last ten years the mem.
bership has increased 33 per cent.
The secreatry paid a glowing trib-
ute to the Hawaiian missionaries who
went to the Marquesas islands, and
stated that $112,000 had been expends
ed by Hawaii in that needy field
The last year has been a highly
successful one in the boards work;
452 accessions by confession of faith
the records say. The total member
ship is S,672. - III.
The one discouraging note in the
report was the decrease in the num-
Der of the Hawaiian ministers. A.
special effort must be put forth to
get new men int the ministry or else
10 combine churches in such a W.
than one man may minister to sew
eTal congregations. 49, -. .-n f. -.
The difficulty of securing non f.
China to take oYei sight of the Chi
nese work of the board is caused by
the tremendous demand for the edu-
Gated men of that country in the gov
eminent offices. ".
Filipino Endeavors. ~:
In the Filipino work Rev. Simon
Ygloria, a recent graduate of the Eli
linwood Bible Seminary of Manila
has been secured for this island. One
hundred and fifty to two hundred
Fiiipinos are attending services held
at the immigration station. -.
The Sunday school movement in
augurated by Rev. Henry P. Judd the
last year has brought big results.
