Maui Guilds
Praised At
Convocation
Wailuku and Lahaina Church Wo-
men Make Fine Records. Episco-
pal Church Shows Healthy Growth
In Islands.

In presenting her report of the work
OF the women of the diocese for the
past year, Mrs. Henry Bond Resta-
rick, wife of the Bishop, announced
that the Woman's Guild of the Church
of the Good Shepherd, Wailuku, stood
third among the fourteen guilds in
the Islands, in the matter of receipts.
The report as read in connection with
the convocation of the various Epis-
copal churches which met in Homo
lulu last Saturday and continued for
several days this week.
Mrs. Restarick also had occasion to
commend the activity of the Lahaina
guild She said.
Lahaina Guild Praised.
Holy Innocent's, Lahaina, with
twenty-one members, has had twenty
eight meetings. They are certainly
the banner guild for meetings, hav-
ing had twice as many as any other,
and their report shows plenty of hard
faithful work and a wonderfully large
total for place like Lahaina. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
work under Mrs. Bodel and Miss Cald-
well in training the children in church
ly ways and principles and work and
self-denial. The two examples will
suffice of the little Chinese boy who
saved every penny given him for New
Years treats to put into his mite-box
which amounted to $6.40 for missions,
and the children who sent the price of
one picture show to the Emergency
Fund
Wailuku Ranks Well.
"The Guild of the Good Shepherd
Wailuku, comes third in it's annual re-
ceipts as / aid before These are
raised in the usual way by dues, do
nations, Lenten, Self-denial and enter
tainments but with most unusual re-
suits for guild of it's size. 1t reports
thirty-nine members and frequent
meetings. 1t has added greatly to the
furnishings, made extensive repairs
and renovated the church, besides aid
ing the Vestry in the financial sup
port of the parish. It also contributes
regularly to the upkeep of the church
yard. Besides all this it has done a
goodly share of Auxiliary work and
helped to support two girls at St
Andrews Priory and it's charities have
reached out to the Belgian sufferers as
well as to the needy poor in their own
parish.
Most Successful Gathering.
The Convocation was largely at
tended by ministers and laymen from
all parts of the Islands, and the re-
ports all indicated very healthy con-
dition of the church in Hawaii. The
various reports submitted showed
much activity among the different
church organizations and a healthy
growth in every department.
The report of the committee on the
state of the church showed that ther,
are 1857 communicates of the church.
This number does not include those
who have been baptized and confirm
ed but those who regularly and faith
fully receive the holy communion in
the different Episcopal churches in the
Islands. The committee noted the fact
that there had been gain of SO per
cent for the past year. The total
number of baptismis for the past year
is 297. The apostolic right of con.
frmatlon was administered to ia
persons during the year. There are
more than 1900 children in the various
Sunday schools and the different re-
ports show that splendid work is being
done among the children.
The lis women attending the ccp-
ference were entertained at luncheon
at the Priory on Tuesday, the affair
being especially enjoyable.
Wednesday the Church Club enter
tanned the visiting clergy and lay dele
gates with a dinner at the University
Club. On Thursday a reception to the
clergy and delegates was held at the
bishops residence from four to six
o'clock
