MOVE FILIPINO
mission into
PALANA SOON
New institution Will Become
Center of Educational and
Religious Activities

The Filipino Methodist Mission of
Honolulu will move to its new quar-
ters in the Palama district, King
street. near Liliha, on June l. 1t will
occupy the Waikiki end of the building
that is now being built by the B. F.
Dillingham; Company. The new lOca.
ton is the center OF the Filipino popu
lation 49,.
The old Queen street mission was
out of the way. 1t failed to reach the
bulk of the Filipinos. Even the pres
ent temporary quarters on kawaiahao
lane is too far away from the MAORI.
ty of the Filipinos. This, of course,
made the work rather slow. ....
The old idea OF let the people come
to the church has become obsolete"
says Rev. c. Ramirez, pastor. THE
new idea is lie: the church come to
the people People have said that a
church is haven of safety, or light
house If this is true, such church
must be located where ships come and
go. where there is business, where
there is life A harbOr or a lighthouse
that is out of the way OF ships is use
less. ..~ ......
IF you are going out fishing you
have got to go where there are fish
if you want to have a GOOD catch.
Imagine a man fishing where there
are nothing but mosquitoes eating him
up! ~.-. p.
The mission in Palama district will
become a haven of safety, light
house TO guide souls through the tenn
pestuous sea Of life. 1t is in Palama
where Filipino souls navigate. 1t is
there where they are shipwrecked and
lost. II is there where such a haven
or a lighthouse is needed. =..
That there IS a great opportunity
for further development in the Fill
pfno work in Palama district has been
proven when we began to hold our
Sunday night meetings in the Palama
Settlement (thanks to Mr.. Rath)
1.-The new mission quarters will be
the center of all religious, educational
and social activities. And in this way
we can look forward for steady pro-
gress in the Filipino work.

CENTENNIAL OF
METHODISM Is
OBSERVED HERE

A centennial sermon on American
Methodism will be preached at the
First Methodist church tomorrow
morning. 1t is just 100 years since
Francis Asbury, the great itinerant
preacher and pioneer bishop, died.
In observance OF this, Rev. L. l.. Loot
bourow will speak at the morning
service on SSaldle Bag Days"
Methodism did not come early to
America. But about the time of the
revolution its PREACHERS began TO
ride through the hamlets and frontier
settlements with such a flaming evan
gel that they laid the foundations or
the largest American Protestant
churches.
Coming TO America in iii, Asbury
hired no lodging and engaged no
board. THE contents of a small
saddle bag will do for me, he said.
For 45 years he rode up and down
the Atlantic coast Sixty times he
crossed the Allcghenies to visit the
new settlements beyond. He often
covered over i've thousand miles
year. A friend IN England for want
of more definite information, adj
dressed letter to The Rev. Bishop
Asbury, North America, and II
reached him.
When death at last overlook him
he was still travelling the long road.
But in the meantime possibly no 9th.
err man had done as much as he to
establish the moral and religious
character of the new nation.
It is interesting to notice that dur.
ing this month the general confer
ence OF the Methodist Episcopal
church is meeting at Saratoga
Springs, New York. one of Asbury's
preaching places. It represents now
over four million members, and there
are almost as many more in the
United States who are members OF
the other Methodist bodies.

LABOR SITUATION
SERMON SUBJECT
At c. J.. CHURCH
Or. Scudder Will Continue Dis
eussion on ''Society'S chal-
Ienge to Christ"

The battle between capital and
labor as evidenced by the number OF
strikes, the increase in the ranks OF
the out-of-works, the appearance OF
the syndicalists on the one hand and
the enormous concentration of wealth
on the other, is leading men to ask
what the next step in social history
is to be-a peaceful step upward or
violent catastrophe.
In the course on "Society's Chal'
lenge 10 Christ" at Central Union
church, DR.. Dorenus Scudder will
sneak tomorrow evening upon THE
Menace in the Labor Situation" This
follows the discussion of the threat
of concentrated wealth two weeks
ago. The theme will open up the
question Of the lack Of balance i'll the
DEVELOPMENT OF the political and in
dustrial features OF present day So
cial life. 1t will lead up to the topic
of what the relation of the teaching OF
Jesus is to the labor situation and
will show what if any solution He has
to give.
Music will form a very pleasant
feature of the evenings program. Mrs.
Hall and MIR. Andrus will give the
duet from Mendelssohn' Hymn of
Praise" ... IL .

England Soberer Nation. ~. II.
The results of the resolute methods
applied by England to the regulation
of the drink problem nine months ago
after the first lessons of the wars de-
mand had been learned are now dis
cussed in an interview with CORES
pondent of the Associated Press by
Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the Cen
trail Liquor Traffic Control Board, the
Organization having the work In hand.
Briefly, in areas accounting for 49,
000, goo out of the 100000 population
over which the board has extended its
influence, it has reduced public drunk
enness roughly by so per cent. The
new regulations, however. will not ex-
tend beyond England, Scotland and

most striking statements was, his fore
cast that were the problem of intern
perance attacked with vigor and skill,

NEW TESTAMENT
WILL BE TOPIC
OF DISCUSSION
Rev. |. |. LoofholIroW to Con-
tinue Series on "HOW We
Got Our Bible

In the series of Illustrated sermons
on How We Got Our Bible" at the
First Methodist church, the topic for
tomorrow evening is. The New Testa-
ment, How and Why Written" -
The steFeopticon slides will show
the places and circumstances under
which this most treasured of writings
of the world was produced. Last sun
day the Egyptian and Assyrian monu-
ments, with their bearing on the Old
Testament, were shown. This Sunday
the earliest manuscripts of the New
Testament may be seen, and their
origin and preservation will be de-
scribed. -. b.. -. -. H.. ..
Some of these manuscripts have a
history almost as striking as the mon
uments of the buried cities of Baby
lonia. For instance, the "Sinaitic
manuscript had been lost for over a
thousand years. The German schol-
ar, Tisehendorf, found it in the old
monastery of ST. Catherine at the
foot of Mt. Sinai At the time it
had. been thrown out with the waste
paper to be used in kindling fires.
Pictures of the monastery as we'll az
of the manuscript itself will be in
cluded. r."
+ Because the New Testament pre-
serves the knowledge OF Jesus Christ,
the story of its origin and preserya-
ton is one OF especial interest. The
Korean boys school on Punehbowl
street closes soon for. the summer,
and it's students will attend this SER
vice as the guests of the church.

rotary Of the Japanese Y NJ. {. A,
shows that the Organization has just
closed the most. successful years
work it has had since its organization
four years ago The report is divided
into several sections and in every
phase OF the work a healthy growth
is indicated. The association has 500
members, - Of which are boys and
students and the remaining regular
members. The total amount of mon
ey spent Is an increase Of $1,000, this
years budget being S49S3. ......-..
Educational Work. ~ 49,. =.~ +:
In the night school there have been
154 young men and boys enrolled.
Most of these were studying English,
though IS have Oeen studying type
writing, which has been taught this
year for the first time. The students
of the school have had the privilege
of attending an assembly meeting
once a week and a social once each
month These two features have serv-
ed to keep up the interest in the
school work In addition to the regu
lar class-work 10 educational lectures
have been held with an attendance
of 305.
Religious Work.
The religious work of the associa.
ton has centered in the 100 Club"
which has been meeting each Sunday
afternoon for religious meeting. The
membership of the club was aimed at
100. but at the close of the year the
goal had not been reached, as 76 was
the total membership. The meetings

Railways Stop Liquor Sale.
New England's railroads went into
the dry column almost exclusively on
May 1, So far as the sale of liquors
in. their stations and dining cars is
concerned. Outside of the north and
south terminals there will be only a
single railroad depot in the New Eng
land states where intoxicating drinks
may be purchased. The dry regime
has already been in effect on all din
ing cars of the New England roads
for a year or mere. The long booze
oasis in the New England railroad
desert is the station at Plymouth. New
Hampshire. on the Boston and Maine.
Tired Of Saloon Business.
The Palmetto state. Florida, is get
ting ready to dump its saloons. Pro-
hibition sentiment has always been
strong amcng the people. The fact
that il failed in the last statewide
fight proves nothing to the contrary.
Many well-informed citizens believe
that If there had been a fair count in
that contest the state would have
gone dry. Florida has always had a
considerable number of citizens who
were Indifferent or non-committal on
the liquor question. Others, dry in
sentiment, thought the so-called well
regulated saloon was eort of public
necessity-at least 1t was not a very
bad institution These indifferents
now, however, are mad clearthrough.
The going dry of neighboring states
has changed the situation completely
in Florida.
Warns Soldiers Against Beer.
The German emperor has had a very
impressive pamphlet prepared by Ger
man physicians, entitled alcohol and
the Power of Resistance" spread
among his soldiers throughout the en-
tire army In this warning by Ger
mans for Germans we find this para
graph: There is no justification for
calling beer liquid bread a glass of
heavy beer costing rs pfennigs has no
more nourishment than a piece of
cheese costing one pfennig. Almost
all excuses and disturbances in the
army are traced to drink; it is mostly
beer that causes the mischief. Beer
