CHRISTIANS NOW
IN TURKEY SAID
TO BE DESTITUTE

The latest information as to condi-
lions in the Turkish empire is con-
tanned in a cable from Switzerland
reaching America July Z, says the
Missionary Herald. 1t reports the
number of destitute Armenians, Syr-
ians and Greeks now in Asia Minor,
Syria and Palestine as million and
half. and declares relief demands
as memorable, since the imperial pol
icy supports the army at the expense
of all other demands. Practically all
now destitute were self-supporting be-
fore the war Attempts by deported
people to engage in self-spporting
work are generally prevented. Bust.
ness is paralyzed, animals are requisi-
toned, schools and churches closed,
and buildings used by the military.
Prices of food and other necessaries
of life have increased several hun
dredfold and are going higher" The
cable deplores the process of exter-
minating or materially diminishing
these Christian races, since the future
hope of upbuilding or regenerating
the empire lies In this democratic ele-
ment The American missionaries
still on the field declare they can con-
tinue work for the destitute as in
the past, but funds now in CONSTANT
nople are exhausted. The message
states the present need as follows:

of God and the spirit Of man. vii.

did they do It? These peasants sim

as the operator in the sinking ship
proves the existence Of sister ships
fastening TO the rescue. and western
civilization is the result.
With the passing Of Christ into the
silent kingdom. spiritual forces were
Embossed which have shaped and will
continue to shape the centuries. The
first wireless telegraphers conveying
q message that saves a world were
the apostles of Jesus Christ. After
His ascension into the unseen. from
that upper room in Jerusalem there
went out the call for help, for aid
In meeting the coming storm and
stress Of life. And Il was in response
to the disciples call upon the invisi-
BILE Christ, that there came rolling
across the spiritual seas the ships OF
Pentecost.
Life Is q sea, and men are mariners.
AS long as the sea is smooth We do
not give much thought to our helpers
in the unseen. But smooth sea, rough
sea, the helpers are there, waiting
to be called. Let us grasp the truth
that our invisible helpers never go
off duty.
As night brings out the stars, so the
cry for help calls forth the aid and
! the goodness not only Of the unseen
realm, but Of human nature. Jesus
Christ ID Q tremendous believer in the
concealed virtues that are in men and
women. As there are vast areas Of the
human brain totally undeveloped, so
there are vast continents Of unde-
veloped goodness in human life that
rise I'D before the call Of distress and
duty. And emergencies rarely fail to
publish qualities that make one ex.

UR|CE HELPING
TO train men
FOR WAR WORK

Writing TO C. B. Gage of the Gregg
Co. from Silver Bay, Lake George,
New York, Jay A. Urice, formerly a
secretary at the Honolulu Y. NJ. C. A.,
tells of the work he is doing in train
ing young men who will be used as
secretaries in the war "huts." He
gays in part:
Mr.. c. B. Gage,
The Gregg Co., Honolulu.
Dear Friend Gage: At this. the first
opportunity have had for letter writ
ing since l left Honolulu, l want to
express our thanks to you and Mrs.
Gage for your kindness to us at the
time of our departure from the ISL
ands. We enjoyed very much the hos
pitality of your home on the last Sun
day afternoon and appreciate your
aloha at our steamer sailing.
Through the reading Of Mr. Wester.
velt's book of Hawaiian folklore Mrs.
Urice and l became very much inter
ested in that phase of Hawaiian life
this past year. While l have always
read Thrum's Annual, have never
read his collections of myths in bound
volumns We will find many pleasant
hours in reading aloud from his book
which you gave us and want you to
know that we appreciate the gift very
much indeed.
q have been continually on the go
since l left Honolulu. First it was
in Iowa for a week, then to New York
where all l saw for eight or nine days
was work. During the month of Au-
gust l am here at silver Bay where
Mr.. Super and l have 140 men in
training for service in war work. Our
particular job in connection with the,
war work program is training the in
men who will be used as
secretaries in the 'huts Carrying out
a program which he set up early in
the summer, Mr.. Super will have given
a four weeks course of technical
training to 800 men by September !.
These schools have been established
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-09-08

at several points and the instruction
given by experienced secretaries. The
job of getting the approved men into
the schools and arranging the curri'
cula there on such short notice was,
as you can imagine, a most Difficult:
one.
THE demand for men is great. BY
September l we will have 1900 secre-
taries in camps here on the mainland.
Seyenty-five men a month are being
sent overseas to France. These men
are stationed mostly with American
troops there, although We have been
asked to build up staff Of 500 secre-
taries for work with the French army
Dr.. Mott comes back from Russia with
a request from there that the associa-
ton send a staff of 800 or more men
into their army as soon as possible.
1t is the task of our bureau now to
recruit these men.
81 find my new work to be most IN
teresting for in our offices in New
York are being worked our problems
which are not only nation wide, but
international in scope. 1t is great
opportunity to be able to be listener
at such conferences, and to later get
even a small part of the work to do
Mrs. Urice is in Iowa and will re.
main there for several weeks yet My
duties will involve considerable travel
ing for some time. We will, think,
live somewhere in the region of Morn
ingside for this first winter.
Il suppose that you will soon be
starting on your trip to the Far East.
That should be a wonderful business
as well as personal experience.
Sincerely,
JAY A. URGE"

THE MESSAGE OF THE SHIPS

There 20 the ships."-Ps. 104:e6.
For the Psalmist the universe Is an
infinite Bible, in which he reads the
creative and revealing will OF the
eternal. Stars, moon, sun, earth,
oceans, mountains. valleys, beasts,
birds, angels-all are dependent upon
God, not only for creation, but also
for their moment to moment main
tenance. Indeed. this Is the major
thought Of the Psalm-the present d.
vine order and harmony Of the uni
verse, sustained and administered by
a God of love, holiness and wisdom.
Among the manifold works Of God,
challenging the Psalmist's sdoring
wonder Is the sea: ''Yonder Is the
sea, great and wide, wherein are
things creeping innumerable, both
great and small beasts. There 60 the
ships"
The majesty and mystery Of the
sea, the wonder and wealth Of the
sea, the terror and treachery Of the
sea-all this is old and has impressed
mans Imagination for uncounted ages.
Yet 1t Is out of the old order that
the divinely new is ever born. Only
the man who knows God in Christ
can stand unaffrighted upon the vast
spiritual beach Of life and listen to
the cosmic music rolling in from the
infinite sea. True our world has ex.
banded, the marvels of the physical
universe have indefinitely expanded.
Yet the wonder of the Psalmist Is the
wonder of today, when we speak OF
the ships. T..
Does not the modern ship, with her
modern equipment, proclaim the real.
ity of the unseen? The modern ship,
with her wireless equipment, demon.
strates the spiritual law that the
spirit of man is Independent Of the
brain, body, time, circumstances. Yon.
der is the noble ship, cruelty wound
ed. about to sink. Up on the deck
is a little cage, equipped with bat
teries and other mechanical appli.
ances, the outgrowth Of mans inven-
tive mind. The key Of the little in.
strument is struck, and what Is the
result? An electric force, an invisible
spirit, as brainless as thought, leaves
the body that has been prepared for
1t, and goes out in quest OF q body
in the unseen. There 1t goes, alb.
solutely bodiless, flying along the con.
stitution Of the universe, intelligently
seeking until it finds another body
through which It talks to men.

Especial Star-BuIlet1n CorrespondenceO
WAILUKU, Maui, Sept. SIN the
new Makawao Union church Maui pos
sesses an edifice, which is one Of the
most beautiful buildings in the terri
tory. Field stone was used as mate
rial, and upon each of the separate
stones that form the structure lichen
Is growing, so that the appearance of
this new building is that of age.
The site of the new church is the
same as the old one, which was the
site of the sugar mill in which Henry
Perrine Baldwin lost his arm and
whose life was saved only by mira
culous escape. The handsome church
stands as a thank-offering Of deVot-
ed and grateful family.
The dedication on Sunday morning
was a service long to be remembered.
Not only was the edifice itself dedi-
Gated but also the Austin organ which
was erected in memory of Leslie and
Jared Baldwin, sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry A. Baldwin. The pulpit Bible,
the gift of the twenty-four grand
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. P. Bald
win, was also recognized by ar ap-
propriate service. The wording of the
program for these dedications and gift
of the Bible was carefully worked out
in a most impressive manner by the
pastor of the church, Rev. A. Craig
Bowdish. -
The pastors of the Maui Union
churches assisted in prayer and scrip
ture reading. Rev. Henry P. Judd,
secretary of the Hawaiian Board,
brought greetings from the Maui
churches and those of the Hawaiian
Board of Missions. His words of ap-
probation of Mr. Baldwin were most
tender. ~t
The prayer of dedication was Of
fered by Rev. J. H. Williams, D. D.,
pastor of Central Union church of Ho-
nolulu.
Rev. George Laughton, pastor of
the Foreign church of Hilo, Hawaii,
preached an able sermon.
The music of Sundays service was
