KEEPING THE FAITH

OF course there is no accurately
measured test of what is good or best
in sermon. In the last resort the
judgment is and must be subjective.
The one thing. however. that may be
demanded is a large minded attitude
on the part of the preacher toward
his subject. Judged by this standard
the series Of sermons By the Rev.
Or. Sturgis now being published in
The Sunday World call only for
praise.
The doctor has a unique and ex-
AtrCmely interesting way of projecting Z
sidelights into his sermons which is
different" from the average pulpit
utterance, and which tend to show
that religion and broad humanity go
assent to the view that the Christian
need be an ascetic and a hermit
even in Lent-in order to maintain
Christie standards. All depends, ac-
cording to Doctor Sturgis, upon the
terms upon which he mingles in the
life about him. He is not Of neces-
sity O monk or O jolly good fellow.
He can be q little of each and still,
if he has the right stuff in him, re-

IF he maintains his discretion, a GER

may indeed be set down as a desirable
part of the Christians equipment.

FOR 1915 RUNS
OVERESTIMATE
Good Report for Years Opera
tionS Submitted to Share
holders This Morning

Though the estimate of 1915 yield
from Waimanalo plantation was only
$500 tons OF sugar year ago, favor
able weather conditions brought the
actual yield up 10 1905 tons, as against
production Of 5547 for 1914, accord.
ling to annual reports considered by
the shareholders this morning: -.
Dividends paid during the year 1873
tCtaled $f3S.600, or IS per cent, and a
net profit was carried to surplus to-
failing S1S5,86O.
The report of George Chalmers,
manager OF the company, follows:
Crop 1915.
The total acreage harvested for
this crop was 1867 acres, and amount
of sugar 1905 tons, which made an
average yield of 1852 tons per acre.
The yield per acre, as was anticipated
a year ago, was somewhat less than
for 1914, owing to considerable Of the
cane being on our poorest land. 1t
is needless to say the year has been n
very prosperous one for the COMPANY;
the abnormal high prices received, ow-
ing to European conditions. left very
handsome profit for. the stockholders.
Crop Of 1916 Hi. . ..a..
will consist of AS acres of olant
cane, ass of long ratoons, 294 of short
ratoons. and Japanese planters 500
acres of long ratoons, making a total
of 1862 acres for the crop, which is
POS acres less than the 1915 crop. This
crop suffered considerable during the
first part of the season and summer
months from lack of rain. Although
the rainfall for the year was above
the average, it was badly distributed.
Over 90 inches fell during the last TWO
months of the year, which was too late
to do much good. My estimate for
this crop last November was 1920
tons. No cane has been ground yet,
SO cannot say how the juices will be.
| There are: very few tassels, and cane
left over for few months ought to
make considerable growth yet, so that
I am in hopes that the crop may some
what oyerrun my first estimate
Crop 1917. .a@.
I'VE planted 1855 acres, and have
729 acres of long ratoons, and will
have about 100 acres of short ratoons
in addition to the above the Japanese
planters have 256 acres of long RAJ
ICONS, making total for the crop OF
1851 acres. This is more long ra-
toons than We generally have, and
less short ratoons, which should give
a better average. Most of this crop
is well advanced. The planting was
finished in August, which is two
months earlier than usual, and at pre-.
