Nad felt during all her life for the the
Young people of her race" said Mr..
Parker. recounting this last converse

Hawaiians, of Mr.. Bishop and the prin-
cess, his wife, and their great life
work for the youth of this lane"
Mr.. Parker said that no man more
upright, straightforward and honest
had he ever known than Mr.. Bishop.

double dealing about him. His word
