VALUE OF SAVING A SOUL,

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin
Sir: A short time ago | read the
following article as taken from the
New York Evening Journal! This ex
tract is par-eXCellent as an example OF
what might often occur within the
walls Of prison i. d life sentence was
given instead of capital punishment.
The story is as follows
Jesse POmeroy was sentenced 10
solitary confinement in the MassaChu'
sets state prison at CharlestOwn on
September :, 1876 for crimes culmin
ating in the murder Of two children
He was fourteen years Old. Today
the solitary clause was stricken from
his sentenCe-atter fOrty-One years as
Americas most notorious life Pome-
roy entered his solitary cell a black.
haired, blue-eyed. plump-Cheeked boy
Today he is a broken, sallOw, bald head
ed old man. Before his Imprisonment
his reading was confined to ten-Cent
'thrillers.' During his forty-One years
of solitude he has read the 5000 books
in the prison library. He has master
ed eight languages and is now study
ing Arabic For many Years POmerOy
refused to work, although he was sen
fenced to be confined at hard labor.
In late years he has been physically
unable TO perform much labor. 1t was
in these later years that he taught
himself to read Spanish, French, Ger
man, Latin, Italian, Greek and English.
He has also mastered algebra. book
keeping and several other studies, and
his knowledge OF natural science is
ide"
What is the lesson to be derived
from this news item? The spirit that
d,'ells in the body of Pomeroy was
very low down the scale of develop
ment as is evidenced by its murder
Gus actions at so tender an age as
fourteen years.
Had the death penalty been inflicted
upon him at that time, his spirit would
have been sent back to natures store
house in a crude condition indeed. BY
committing the sentence to solitary
life Imprisonment, the opportunity of
educating itself was given to that
undeveloped soul in large measure,
and through the hardship of a life
of solitude, the companionship OF
books was forced upon it, with the
result that great enlightenment has
come to that spirit. This example of
what a poor convict has done under
difficult circumstances should show
us the advantage that is to be gained
in sparing the life of a criminal in
stead of snuffing out the candle, while
it may yet have long time in which
to burn. and by proper guidance find
the better way.
Nest sincerely yours,
MARTHA E. TOWNSEND.

Business And The Convention

Every businessman i'll tn" city Of Honolulu has Il
direct personal interest in the work of the Civic
Convention.
The only question each man has to settle is
whether he will back up that interest with personal
cooperation and participation in the program of
events or stand on the side lines do mothing and
absorb all the benefits he derive from the IN
selfish work of others
This convention has become Il center of island
community progress and clearing house, Of S1Ig
gestions. The discussions serve to bring about q
better understanding among different sections and
the diverse elements that make up our population.
1t is worth businessmanS while to attend the
conventions and just listen. It is better worth his
while to be present at the sessions and take part
in the discussions
Every man has a good idea on most every topic.
but that idea does no possible good in this world
or the next if it is not expressed.
See that your days program for Monday and
Tuesday is arranged that YOU can attend the
Civic Convention and thus become acquainted with
men of your town as well as those from the
other islands

Where Are You Helping?

The two central figures Of the days news are
Kerrnsky and the kaiser.
Kerpnsky is battling to save his couT r. to pro-
tpct his countrymen from themselves III order that
they and their children may enjoy the blessings o.
liberty and equality of opportunity.
Kaiser Wilhelm is summoniDg all his forces and
with minute efficiency planning to overthrow and
DESTROY personal liberty. equality of opportunity
and saddle the world with blood and iron policy
that brushes human initiative and destroys body
and soul.
Every day that goes by putting up to the citizen
the demand: Choose you this day whom you will
serve.
Naturally every American automatically stands
with the man struggling for freedom.
But what is he doing about it?
1t is one thing to choose and declare that you
will of course 90 the route of civic decency. But
what are you going to do about it? What are you
doing about it?
The fight that Kerensky is making is the fight of
every American. If he succeeds the world will be
better and safer place to live in. If he fails the
world and especially America, will have to be fight
ing the war-lord gang for good part of another
generation.
What has that to do with the citizens anG resi-
dents of Hawaii?
Merely that their assistance at every possible
place will help to win the Their indifference
and supreme selfshness aids the enemy.

Herring To HEAD
NEW MOVEMENT
Defense Council Announces
Plan to Turn Work Over
to University Club.

Plans for the proposed "four-min-
ute men" who Will give short talks
in the motion picture houses
throughout the United States on
subjects relating to food conserva-
ton. Red Cross work and the like,
were further discussed at "A meeting
Of the county council Of defense
Saturday afternoon in the court
house. 1t is expected that within
few days Frank r. Herring will
have been made chairman OF the
four minute movement. The move
ment will then be turned over 10 the
University club.
AS 10 plans for a home guard
nothing definite has as yet been de-
cided. But three members Of the
county council are i'm the city at the
present time and the arrival CT the
others is awaited before action is
taken. The state council OF defense
must also have the sanction OF the
government or the movement before
it can be fuTthered TO any extent.
AS far as present plans go there
is 10 be a home guard in every city
throughout the United States. The
guards will be composed of men who
are not called to the front. but who
are within the CONSUMPTION age.
Men over and below this age will
also be taken.
The idea OF the guard is to take
the place of the militia. ii is ex-
pected that the men will be given
arms and also a preliminary mill
tary training so as to prepare them
should they be called into actual
service. The men in these home
guards will attend their respective
professions and businesses at the
same time they are acting in the
guard.
The state council of defense has
asked the county council of defense
to appoint a man at the head of the
South Bend home guard and il is
expected that this will be done at
the meeting of the county council
next Saturday at the courthouse.
The man appointed will also be
chairman of the South Bend move
ment. Further orders are expected
by the county council from the
state council within the next few
days. The county council will be
expected to carry out these orders in
every detail. Nothing definite has
cen done as yet By f. NJ. Wilson,
who at present is at the head of the
state movement.

FURNITURE PRICE
NOT PROH|B|T|VE
Local Dealers Back From
Markets Optimistic
Over Future.

Prices of articles of furniture have
not made the unprecedented rise in
price predicted ION account of the
war" pessimists. according TO furni-
ture dealers of South Bend. who
have spent the last two weeks buy
ing in the furniture markets of Chi
cago and Grand Rapids. The ad-
vance in values does not exceed an
average OF 10 to ID percent. these
men say
Soon after the outbreak of the
war rumors that furniture materials
especially. even more than articles
Of food, would he extremely scarce,
were heard. Reasons given for the
expected rise in prices were the de-
mand OF the American and allied
armies Tor guns picks and shovels,
and other supplies containing the
different grades Of wood; also the
cutting off of importations of glue
and brass from European countries.
THE impression generally receiv-
ed was that furniture was going out
of sight" declared A II. Heller
prices have not risen nearly as not
ably as in other lines. The average
increase is less than ~ percent.
The kind Of wood used in the manu-
facture of rifles and shovels for the
army is not the same quality as
wood used in furniture making, so
no shortage was caused from that
source The advance results princi-
pally from the scarcity of leather
goods. and the high value placed on
labor"
John p. McGill, president of the
NcGiu Furniture Co, asserted that
the augmented prices were about
what was expected by furniture
men. The general increase, he said.
averages as high as % percent.
The markets at Grand Rapids and
Chicago drew bigger crowds than
ever before" was Mr.. McGilTs state
ment Not all the men purchased
new stock. however. Several had
stored in an early supply in antici-
patton of the rate advance. All
agree that the cost or scarcity of
wood has little TO do with the change
in prices"

CHRISTIAN CHURCH is

That the Christian church is the
world church was the fact brought
out in the sermon. A World
church. by the Rev Melvin c.
Hunt. Sunday evening at the Trim
ity church
These reasons for the statement
were as follows: First. it was born
a time when and in a place where
representatives of all tribes and ma
tons were gathered second. il was
endowed with the Holy Spirit at its
birth with cloyen tongues of fire,
and those upon whom the Holy
Spirit came spoke i'm tongues so that
all nations present might under
stand. and third. the commission of
the church. when Christ command
ed said. eco We into all the world
and preach the Gospel TO every
creature"
In bringing his sermon to a close
Mr.. Hunt said that every church
had problems TO solve. no matter
what the church These could be
easily solved" ne said. IF each
church would get the world view.
which is the whole world brought 10
Christ. and if each church take up
the world task, which is the human
passion that will win the world by
love. The church that does not care
to do this can not live, for any
church that lives for itself only can
not serve its cwn community. and
any church which is unable 20 sup.
port its own community must die"

KAISER HAS NO CHANCE,
SAYS EVANGELIST AS HE
OPEN TENT MEETINGS

A theme Of special interest en-
titled. The Bible on the Kaiser :
Dream" was delivered Sunday night
by Evangelist FIR. Johnston at Otta-
wa at the Bible Institute tent" at
the corner of Portage and Leland
avs. This Vas the opening service,
and a splendid audience was pres
emit The text was taken from Dan.
2:29.
From this the evangelist Ella 0Orat-
ed on the vision of King Nebuchad-
cezzer, dealing with the great me-
,aliic image-the head of gold.
breast and arms Of silver. sides of
brass. legs of iron and feet part of
iron and part Of clay. The evangelist
derived his Interpretation from the
language OF the chapter itself and
said that this proved beyond ques-
ton that this vision was designed 10
unfold the worlds history in ad-
vance. beginning with the Babylo-
man. the head Of gold and followed
by Medic persia, Greecia and Rome.
The latter he declared. when IL fell,
was divided in 10 parts correspond
ing exactly 10 the 10 toes of the
image.
These kingdoms he declared were
in existence 10 deny. among them
being England. Germany and
France. Spain. Portugal etc. But the
value Of this prophecy is determin-
ed he said. from verse a.. which
saws that i'm the days OF these pres
ent kingdoms the God Of heaven
would set mp kingdom which
would never be destroyed.
There is no promise therefore, so
the evangelist declared, for any
other potentate 20 exercise universal
dominions II was therefore folly
for the kaiser. who in 1914 dreamt
of universal rule not only was he
ur against the armies at the allies.
but against the word of the Lord.
For this reason Mr.. Johnston de-
clared. we need have no fear that
the kaiser will rule the world.
