For number of years st. Anthony's
Catholic Church in Wailuku has been
most sadly in need of repairs, but this
has been postponed from time to time
until the safety of the congregation
is somewhat jeopardized A few
months ago Board of Health Inspector
J. L. Osmer visited the church, and
went up as far as the belfry, but the
speed in which he descended testified
to the fact that his life had been en-
dangered, and he made the statement
that if it had been within his juris-
diction he would condemn the build
ing. This church was build some for
ty or fifty years ago by Father Leon
ore and a number of Hawaiians, and it
has stood all those years a monument
/ to the patience and Christian spirit
of the Hawaiian of years ago. How
ever, it is now absolutely necessary
| that practically new church be built;
the congregation has out grown the
church building, and the standing
room only sign is too often in
evidence, to say nothing of the shaiy
condition of the tower of the edfice.
With this in view, Father Justin,
in charge of the parish, has given
much time and thought, and has had
plans prepared for a practically new
church building. II is estimated that
| this will cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
A meeting of his parishioners was
| called some weeks ago, and organiZa-
| tion was effected with the object in
view of raising funds for the purpose.
