Is
COMMONEST Sin,
PASTOR ARGUES

That ingratitude is tho commonest
of all sins and that the spirit OF gener-
ous praise is its sure cure were
declarations made by Rev. Leon l.
Loofbourow, pastor of the METHODIST
church, in sermon to his congreGa-
ton Sunday morning.
The minister pointed out that
Honolulu's community life might be
frightened in many ways if more
thoughtfulness and courtesy were
used. especially to policemen, street
car conductors and clerks. He con-
tinued, in part:
I'm no place is ingratiude more Dat
ter than in the home. Many parent
has felt that the most unkndest cut
Of air has come here where so much
Of love and sacrifice has been given.
The great writer's would not have
choseI/D he ingratitude of children TO
parents so often as their theme II
there had not been much of it in real
life. We read George Elliot's 'Ro-
mola from generation to generation
because there is touch of Tfto's self
ish nature in us all. We remember
the words of old King Lear:
How sharper than serpents
tooth it is
ITO have a thankless child be-
cause We have known homes where
chiidren's indifference has made a sad
ending for parents toll and pain.
God is not a stickier for etiquette.
He. is no Oriental despot before whom
we must kowtow every so often or lose
our worthless heads. The tragedy OF
religion is that God loves us better
than any father or mother does; that
He has done more for us than We
can ever realize; while we go our
needless way, careless of all the suf-
fering II brings to Him and the ruin
to us. Young men and maidens, old
men and children, we all should take
more heed lest we be deeply migrate
to the Great Benefactor of us ALL
Religion has virtually created
music, one of the greatest expressions
Of mems praise. II has changed mems
idea of prayer. Prayer is no longer a
begging for material needs, but be-
comes more a spirit of thankfulness
and victory When Jesus had brought
the spirit of praise into Paurs life he
realized that He was debtor both TO
the Greeks and the barbarians, both
to the wise and to the foolish. And
we realize that we have become debt
ors to all races, and bear to them a re.
lation of brotherhood and service.
Finally, the spirit of praise, as the
Bible says, prepares way for God to
show us his salvation" .:....

the island. ..-.-. 49,.
"A little digging, however, reveals
that this formation is so soft that it
can be readily crashed with the hands

Nature Runs Lime Kiln -s"- =....@.
In short it is natural lime kiln,
the heat having converted the top six
feet of the coral formation to. calcium
oxide, quicklime, which has since
been Stacked and from long contact
with the air changed to the carbonate.
1t is in this form that lime is most
useful for agricultural purposes.
It has long been known that i'm
mense areas of the plantation soils of
the Islands, particularly of Hawaii,
are acid and that could this acidity of
the soil be neutralized, it would be
possible to make two tons of sugar
grow where only one grew before.
Many of the plantations have used
artificially burned lime-calcium OK
debut this has proved rather expen-
sive The plantation laborers serious
ly object to spreading it since the
dust is very. caustic and also this
burned lime as it hydrates or Stacks
tends to burn out the humus of the
soil. Others have used coral sand but
results have been far from ideal for
several REASONS. The average coral
sand contains about so per cent cal
cium carbonate and the grains are so
coarse and polished that the sand
must remain for an indefinite period
mixed with the soil before any mark
ed action is noticeab!e-the lime it
contains not being readily available.
The true value of any soil correc
tive or fertilizer depends upon its
availability or the ease with which
the soil or plant can absorb it. Thus
any quantity of potash or phosphate
in an insoluble form might be placed
ON land and the crops receive no ben
eft whatsoever from it. ..".
Natural Fertilizer Saves Expense
"This natural lime found at Wal
amaze can be placed on the market at
q cost far below that of artificially
burned lane and is free from any
caustic properties, contains as high
percentage of, lime and is in such a
form as to be instantly available,
There is approximately one mil
lion tons of this natural lime in sight
and the placing of it on the market
will be one of the best things for the
sugar planters that has occurred here
in long time. both as to the low cost
Of lining their acid soils and the in
creased production on such acres
after being treated.

plant. which will mean an expendi-
ture Of approximately $4,000, will

SALVATION ARMY
HOME FOR BOYS
NOW ASSURED
Generous Contributions Make
Sure Much Needed Institu-
ton Will BE Built

The Salvation Army VIII soon have
a boys home In Honolulu. Some time
ago Mrs. ]. u. Atherton and her
daughter, Miss Kate Anterior, gave
I6 acres in Manoa valley for such a
purpose and the Tecently.annGunced
donation Of $4,000 by G. II. Wilcox
Of Kauai for the main building and
furnishings has made the new insti-
tuition, long desired certainty.
Mi. and Mrs. A. S. Wilcox and Miss
Elsie and Miss Mabel Wilcox have
donated $2500 and Mrs. Fora Isen-
berg $1,000 for a boys hospital to go
with the new institution, and Mrs.
Mary e. Foster has rounded out the
gifts with $500 bank account for
the hcCe. ~. .....
Although the Wilcox gifts came as
an agreeable surprise TO the Salvation
Army officers, the donations were not
wholly unexpected. Wilcox has been
one or the army's most generous and
cheerful givers for some time. The
visit here of Brfgadier Stillwell from
Chicago increased interest in the
boys nome.
The new building will be built on
the semi-bungalow plan, three stories
high and 120 feet long It will cost
approximately $4,000, the remainder
of the $4,000 gift to be used to clear
the land and furnish the home. There
viii also be play house and laun-
dry.
Emory & Webb, architects, have
drawn the plans and work will begin
at once on the structure.
Adjutant Carrie Sabine and Ensign
Rachael Payne of the girls home say
that only the boys who are absolutely
in need of such an Institution will be
taken into the boys home. There
they will have an opportunity OF an
education and will grow strong and
healthy by work in a model farm
which will support the home in dairy
products and vegetables.
