Reports Show Progress
In the report Of the treasurer it
was pointed out that the holdings and
endowments Of the church are valued
at $576,919.40, which does not include
st. Clements church, whose property
is valued at 100000.
The treasurer, concluding his re-
port, said:
Il desire to take the opportunity
that this report affords me of calling
attention to special appeal that Is
being made to the friends of the
church in Hawaii and throughout the
United States, by a committee Of lay
men assisting the bishop. This effort
to secure a substantial addition to the
present endowment of the st. An
drew's Priory is particularly appro-
pirate at this time, as the present
year is the fiftieth anniversary of the
establishment of the school, and it is
hoped that the appeal will meet with
hearty response.
'As a memorial to Sisters Beatrice
and Albertina for their so years of
faithful work, as we'll as to Bishop
Restarick for all that he has done for
the priory almost from the first day
he arrived in Honolulu, nothing more
appropriate or more pleasing to them
could be done than to put st. An
drew's Pfiory on a sound basis as to
finances that will insure the work be-
ing carried on In the years to come"
At 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
cornerstone of st. Mary's chapel, to
be erected at Moiliili, was laid. The
laying Of the stone was conducted by
Gen. Edward Davis, as the chapel will
be a memorial to Margaret Davis, his
late wife.
