Many protests had been filed with
the staff OF the Y. w. c. A. this morn
ing since the announcement was made
that c. r. Dole, the noted pacifist
would deliver lecture on Woman
and War" at the Y. w. c. A. tomof,
row evening. H
Members OF the National Guard and
other citizens OF Honolulu have been
calling up the Y. w. G. A. asking that
the lecture scheduled for tomorrow
evening be Cancelled, as talk on peace
movements at this time might tend TO
interrupt the recruiting officers OF the
National Guard In their work.
According 10 the secretaries of the
Wv. G. A. q number of telephone
calls have been received. and each one
asked that the lecture be called off,
as at this time when the nation was
on the verge CT war a peace propa-
ganda would not be quite the proper
plan
An-official of the Y. w. C. A. said
J today that the association had planned
the lecture some time ago, and would
schedule II as part of their regular
course. According to the statement.
DIR. Dole has been loyal to his govern
ment, and free speech would be part
of their course OF lectures Miss
Grace Channon, executive secretary,
pointed out today that the Y. w. c. A.
had taken deep interest in the pre-
paredness movement and had already
organized two classes in Red Cross

CHAMBER MEETS
FOR ELECTION


At $40 o'clock the annual meeting
Of members Of the Chamber of Com
meee was in session. Minutes had
been read and the annual report Of
the president read and received. When
the matter Of election was taken up
W.. o. Smith arose and moved that
the election be postponed and the
present officers continued.
"The country 10 on the verge Of
great war" said smiths "and II
seems to be unwise that we should
change officers at this time. II Is
the part Of wisdom, think, 10 delay
action in the face Of war with Ger
many. We might do something for
which we would later be sorry"
The suggestion Of Smith did not
find favor and at Sis the members
started to ballot.

For the purpose of electing officers
for the ensuing. year, the members OF
the Chamber of Commerce are meet
ing this afternoon. The nominees
were selected by the nomination COM
mittee, there being two for each Of
flee and "a names for the selection of
II directors.
j. F. C. Hagens is the only nominee
for president as Robert w. Single
has announced that he would not run.
This would automatically make Ha-
gems president, but, 1t is understood.
there is feeling among the members
that there should be competition for
all offices. This may result in either
the resignation of Single being re-
fused or the election being postponed
until later date. There seems to be
no trouble over the other officers.
Before the election Of officers Geo.
w. Smith. the retiring president, read
his report. The report calls the men,
bers' attention to the purpose of the
Chamber of Commerce, which Is to in
spire in its members a sense of indi-
yidual civic responsibility Smith then
gives resume of the conditions of
the different, island crops and also
touches on the tourist trade and ship
ping facilities National, territorial
and municipal affairs are next spoken
of in respect to the chambers connec-
ton with them.
Concerning the bond issue the re-
port declares that the result was a
severe Indictment of the civic interest
of the community, and while the au-
thority asked for was withheld, the
result was so close as to call for a
censure of the substantial electorate
in our midst.
What the chamber has done regard
ing vice conditions in Honolulu Is told
in the report and there are also arti-
cles on the Civic Convention, the local
longshoremen's strike, banking eondi-
tions here and various matters per-

MASSES, NOT FLOWERS.

1t is always necessary to repeat the
same suggestion many times in order
to change any old and established
custom And so it would be we'll to
recall, over and over, the remark that
our Catholic people will greatly oblige
the Holy Souls in purgatory by get
ting into the way. of sending prom
ises of Masses for the departed, in
stead of heaping the coffin and the
grave with perishable and very inef-
fective flowers. A blossom or two is
well enough to console the living and
to typify the loneliness of the resur-
srection, wslen we shall all, please God,
blossom forth with our Saviour from
the tomb and amaze our own souls
with our risen glory. But consider
what consolation do these heaps of
flowers bring to the departed souls
who are now fasting in fires until
their eager longing is filled with the
vision of God? The flowers lie there
and wither They have no efficacy to
ease the pain and hasten the glory of
the suffering soul. But one holy
Mass offered for that soul brings it,
in Gods mercy. a fastening of its
release and the comfort of drawing
nearer to the smile of it's Heavenly
Father in its eternal home!

priest has ENCOURAGED this practice to
good purpose by Keeping, on hand a

STORY FROM REAL LIFE.

Stepping into train while on trip
recently, l took the seat near the
front of the car, which was occupied
by young girl of about sixteen.
After being seated l heard a sigh, and
glancing aside noticed the sad, long
ing expression in the eyes of my seat
mate. l reached over and grasped her
hand, and asked if 1 could be of any
service to her. Tears Welled up in
her eyes and then she told me her
history. She was sixteen years of
age, and came from one of our small
Kentucky towns, and now was on her
way to live with a maiden aunt who
was the only one that ever spoke
kindly to her. When she was five
years old she lost her mother, and all
she remembered was to be driven by
a whip, then, later on her father mar
ried again, and it went on just the
same.
She never had any one to ask her to
do anything in kind way; it was go
do this, or do that, or | will get this
whip and crack you over the head.
She just existed in this way, as her
aunt had told her to ask God to help
her, and He would at the time He
thought best, soften her fathers heart
by granting the request to live with
her aunt, which had been refused so
often before. She had not been
taught in her childhood about God,
only the teaching from her aunt, but
now that this request was granted, she
has hopes of change in her father,
and not use the whip. She told me
that she did not have the same feeling
for her parents that other children
had, and that this was what made her
sad. '"'' t>'"''''9 =
You fathers and mothers, what
right have you to mistreat those little
ones? Now by this | do not mean to
let them grow up like weeds, but do
not hound them continually, with the
whip. Ask them to do their work in
kind but firm manner, and they will
mind all right, for l am speaking from
my own experience. | had very I'M

ing how much misery drink brings, but

cial disappointments, but are happy in
our love for each other. Begin at

see that l am right, and your children
will grow up and call you blessed.

have had said for their departed
friends. The death notices and the
announcements of funerals give the
total number of Masses thus offered
for the dead, and it is most edify-
ing item to read how many Masses
are offered up through the generous
contributions of these true friends of
the poor souls, contributions that
would otherwise have gone to pay for
some withering blooms whose memory
would have departed with their. per-
fume.
The perfume of the Mass is ever
lasting. One Mass is more precious
and availing than all the blossoms
that ever withered on tomb. To
give the aims that will ensure one
Mass for the departed soul is a better
and more sensible act of aid and sol
ace, both to the dead and, therefore,
to the living, than to heap a costly
pyramid Of bloom over the grave
every day for a thousand years. Let
us act on our knowledge of the teach
ings of our holy faith and get into the
habit of sending to the homes that
death has saddened the assurance
that we have asked a priest to say
ten or twenty Masses for the depart
ed giving. in aims for these, what we
should otherwise have spent uselessly
on flowers.

Words of Ellen Douglas in "The
Lady Of the Lake.")

Ave Maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's prayer!
Thou canst hear though from the wild
Thou canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy
care,
Though banish'd outcast, and reviled;
Maiden hear maiden's prayer
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria
Ave Maria! undefiled!
The fiinty couch we now must share
Shall seem with down of elder piled
If thy protection hover there.
The murky cavern's heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast
smiled;
Then, Maiden! hear maiden's
prayer;
Mother, list a suppliant child.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria! stainless styled!
Foul demons of the earth and air
From this their wonted haunt ex
lied,
Shall flee before thy presence fair:
We bow us to our lot of care,
Beneath thy guidance reconciled:
Hear for maid maiden's prayer
And for father hear a child!

"This practice of confession is be-
gun as soon as the child can distin-
guish between right and wrong: at
the same time there comes in con-
junction with Confession the recep-
ton of the Holy Eucharist, when the
child, according to Catholic teaching,
enters into personal union with God.
Experience of Thirty Years.
"After a personal experience of
over thirty years in dealing with chill
+dren in this most sacred and intimate
relation, L can testify to the marvellous
power thus given in the majority of
cases to the development of a right
conscience, "a virtuous life and re-
liable character. Parents, too, even
where they. themselves have become
neglectful of these duties, show the
greatest eagerness to have their little
ones admitted to these sacraments,
and are most anxious that they go
regularly and frequently to them.
Those in charge of our institutions
bear witness to the immediate
change in the inmates for the better
when the practice of confession is be-
gun. On this point, | may quote the
invaluable testimony of Reverend
Mother Katharine Drexel, daughter of
the late Francis Drexel, of Philadel-
phia, who, as is well known, has de-
voted her life and fortune to the edu-
cation of negroes and Indians, in
which work she has been joined by
many earnest and self-sacrifcing
women. These ladies are absolutely
unreserved in their statement that the
most efficient means whereby their
wards are rendered obedient, docile
and earnest in their endeavors for
good is the sacrament | have spoken
OF. That such results must follow it's
practice is clear if one remembers
that confession is no mere external
ceremony, no act of lip service, but a
humble, candid acknowledgment of
evil doing accompanied by sincere
sorrow and firm resolution of
amendment, into which must enter
the determination to repair any in
jury done to another in his person,
property or reputation"
