from the other children, and a long.
| sag for greater things soon brought
them TO the places where further op.
portunities We're offered They have
in time gone out into the world and
what is found? Al Kipahatu, Maui, a
Lahaina girl is helping the church in
dren frogl the public school where she
a Sunday school made up OF the clrfE
!. teaches. AT ST. E,izaleth's, another
teacher is found. Kipahuiu, likewise.
is blessed with a Lahaina girl. In
St Luke's hospital, San Francisco,
three OF our church girls are in train.
ing. and enc OF these has Lahaina for
her birthplace. So We may go on
mentioning others.
We have chosen this field because
we are mere familiar with il. but in
ether places in these islands, the same
may be found to be the experiences
Of the worker, @ho feel that their. ef-
forts and sacrifices have not been in
vain Only few weeks ago, one OF
the officials Of the board of education
remarked that the records kept by the
department show thar the Hawaiian
girls are making progrksstin efficiency
and ability to teach in the upper
grades. He stated furthermore that
they were splendid. disciplinarians and
understood the handling Or children
and had a faculty OF imparting tknowL
edge.
In the business houses Of Honolulu
many of our girls may be found Civ
ing most satisfactory service and re-
ceiving good wages. Is.
One of the most conscientious mat,
rons they ever had at the Kallhi Boys
Home is the present one. As Ha-
waiian, she is interested in the boys
of her own race, and has brought a
spiritual influence into the institution
such as it never hads All of the white
women that preceded her did not be-
gin to do the work that she is doing
in her quiet gentle way. Up to few
weeks ago her most efficient assistant
was former Priory girl. This young
woman was offered 4 position by the
board of health to take charge of the
nursery at the leper settlement, at Mo.
lokai. To her care are entrusted the
babies OF the inmates, and. she takes
care of them until they are a year
and half old when they are sent to-
Honolulu In taking this step she
did 1t in the service for her Lord. She
knew that she would be separated
from the outside world, but the joy
of knowing that her life would count
for something in that field, gave her
the strength to make the sacrifice.
Another encouraging sign is that
some of our better educated girls, who
have had the advantages OF an edu-
cation away from the islands, are-yery
anxious to take up a work that Will
help their less fortunate sisters to
better themselves. This shows that
they appreciate what has been done
for them. and furthermore, that they
haze a calling to do what no ume:: else
can do, namely to be in sympathy
with those OF their race and guide
them through the pitfalls from which
they have escaped
st. Andrews Hawaiian Junior AuxE
iliary has in view the bringing togeth-
er the girls of that race. so that they
may be in close touch with each other
under the best influences. Girls from
all walks of life are on the friendliest
terms and social distinctions are un-
known. A true Christian spirit OF
prevails in all of the meet |
ings and this is carried with them
II speaks we'll for all con-
cerned and is another proof OF the
wonderful influence of our Lords life
in destroying those artificial barriers
which human frailty wants to build
up for the sake of earthly position
and distinction.
With. such facts. as, + the above
brought to our consideration we need /
have no fear as to the future, provid-
ed we do our share in. the furthering
