METHODISTS
RAISE funds
BY CANVASS

A step forward was chronicled last
Monday night when the official board
of the First Methodist church met to
canvass the results of the new finan-
cial plan of the church For two
months past the work has been under
way, eliminating in a visitation day
when 10 teams of the men of the
church called on every member of the
church family. twenty-five men were
employed in the canvass. They trav-
eIled over 125 miles, and completed
the main part of the work in less than
five hours.
The results, briefly summarized, are
as follows: The number of regular
subscribers will be more than double
in 1916 what it was in 1915. The in
come from subscriptions for the sup
port of the local church increased so
per cent. The income for mission
work and other benevolences in
creased 60 per cent Ever since its
organization the church has been in
part supported by the Methodist
board of, home missions But the of.
ficials feel that this is no longer neces-
sary, and that they prefer to release
funds which have heretofore been de-
voted to this church and have them
used in mission work for other ma
tionaiities in the islands. They ex-
pect that this will be the last year
that such help is needed.

SUMSUP WORK
OF PAST YEAR

A summary OF the work which has
been done by the Mems League Of
Central Union church is given in the
following annual report of Arthur L.
Andrews, vice-chairman of the organ
ization:
AT the time OF the annual meet
inf the Mems League, its chairman,
DR.. w. c. Hobby, was at the coast.
In consequence the report Of the
leagues work was presented by the
vice-c chairman Only brief summary
of that report is now prepared for
the Year Book. All that pertained to
the purpose of the society and the
spirit In which its activities should
be conducted is omitted; remarks de-
signed for a particular occasion need
not be made q matter of record.
"The number of members was 1853.
Two meetings were held, in addition
to the annual meeting. On March
% las men considered certain meas
ures then before the legislature tend
ing to improve physical and moral
conditions within the Territory.
Though some of the bills in which the
league was interested were not enact
ed, notably the so-called Iowa bill,
five other bills became law. This
means much.
Congressional Reception.
THE second meeting, held on May
is and attended by lac, was in the
nature of reception to some of the
distinguished members of the Con.
gressional party then visiting Hawaii.
mo other features or the years

showed that the league has carried on
its work much as in preceding years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wickes, the rnissionar-
les who represent the men of the
church, are finding conditions in
China favorable, they are working
with zeal, devotion and ability, and
are therefore meeting with success.
The friendship section has continued
to invite strangers to attend the
church services, and has considered
plans to extend its scope of activities

New York Dec. 14.-Big Bill Brer-
nan. familiar handler Of the indicator
TO major league fans, is one OF the most
uufor -unate " all the Federal Ieaguers.
Bill is a good umpire. He was consid-
cred so good when the Federal league
was formed that Jim Gilmore and his
henchmen decided they had to have him
20 lend prestige 10 their circuit. and
they tempted Bill to take the hurdles.
When the war ended Brennan vas
left 5ut in the cold, cold world For
some reason the powers that be in
organized ball did not extend the same
clemency to Bill that was dealt out to
the players, though why II could be
figured that he had committed any
greater offense than the players, eX-
cept. perhaps, that an official he set
a bad example for them, is hard to
figure out. So Brennan waited in vain
for an offer 70 get back into the har-
ness. and finally he went job-hunting
himself and landed in the Three-Eye
league. Last season was a most sue
cessful one for Brennan in that circuit
where il is oftentimes harder for an
umpire 10 work than in the major
leagues. And now Bill hopes TO be on
his way back. He is casting his lamps
on an umpirinG job in the American
assoc alton. with a good chance to land
it He says he is willing TO work his
way 10 the top OF the ladder again
