Community Action

T~fE outstanding lesson of the Carnival is that
u community effort and action accomplished it
There was much individual effort-more than
upon any previous occasion; but there were also
greater number OF persons and organizations
working toward the common end.
The opinion alike of kamaainas and tourists
who have seen previous carniyals is that the Car
nval of 1917 has been an advance on any that has
gone before, 49,
The fact is that through the medium OF the Car
niyal, the community is learning how to work to-
gether--how to cooperate to common end better
than it did in former times; and by that same
token the different nationaties are learning more
Of each other and what each can accomplish, and
TO appreciate what each can do better than the
others.
This is valuable educational work. 1t is teach
ing us a lesson which we needed to be taught
which we do not want to forget and which should
be fostered in every possible way.
These suggestions may be thought trite, worn
ont and stale. May be they are and may be they
are notl
Suggestions are not trite, worn out and stale be
cause they have been made before.
The gospel of love has been preached for over
1000 years but it is as fresh and vrile doctrine
as on the day when its principles were first formu-
lated
With our population OF diverse nationalites
languages and social relations, it is only human
nature that there should be in Hawaii more than
the usual number of divisions and cliques, with
differing interests and view points.
In times of stress and excitement, it is easy for
these differences to develop serious consequences.
Strangers naturally have no confidence in each
other, because they do not know one another Ac-
quaintance begets frendliness friendliness brings
confidence and confidence leads to harmony, CO.
operation and community progress
In the opinion OF The Advertiser, one OF the
most valuable features of the Carnival is the fact
that it brings into closer and more friendly reIa-
tons the many nationalties which compose the
community. This cannot but have good effect
upon our community efficiency and effectiveness.
MAY we take the lesson to heart and carry the
principle involved into other phases Of Honolulu
life

WEST SIDE BIBLE
CLASS IN MEETING

Wednesday evening the West Side
Bible Class had Joint business and
social meeting at the home of Mrs
Telford. The occasion marked the
close of a series of studies of the gOs-
pei according to St. Mark. The secre
tary's report showed that nineteen
meetings had been held since the or
ganization Of the class June 18th, and
weather the average attendance was
twenty-three, The class feels that
they have been very fortunate in Sc
curing Mrs. Divan as leader, for she
not only has thorough knowledge OF
the study. but she has the faculty OF
knowing how to impart this knowl-
edge to others.
This is union class and every
means has been used to emphasize the
interdenominational idea, for this
reason Mrs Divan felt that the leader
ship should 90 into another church.
and it was only after much urging
and persuasion on the part of the com.
mittee that site consented to take the
class again, and was unanimously
elected leader. The next series taken
up will be by subjects, the first one
being "The Bible and How to Use II"

this series. They are;
