WHAT NEWSPAPER MEN WILL SEE ON
 TRIP ID HONOLULU

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 11.-Main-, land newspaper men arrivingjn Honolulu for the first time to attend the World Press Congress sessions here in October will find it hard to believe at first that they are trodding United States territory.
 For in idiomaffc language, customs, many foods, traditions, vegetation and climate, this far-flung outpost of the United States differs from the main- land as night differs from day.
 As befits it's position--"at the cross- roads of the Pacific"--Honolulu prob ably is the most cosmopolitan com muity under the American flag. Here are Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and natives of all other Pacific ocean lands and islands in profusion. Beard ed and turbaned Hindus stalk majec- tically and narrow streets and rep resentatives of practically every other race and nation in the world are seen in town or along the excep- tionally we'll built and maintained automobile bouleyards that thread the island of Oahu, on which Hanalul Is situated.

DIME NOVELS OUTDONE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 No wonder the dime novels of yes terday are out of favor. The thrills that Nick Carter used to imagine gre commonplaces in today's news. What would Nick have given could he have dreamed of such an exploit as that reported in the Arkansas train robbery of yesterday wnere bandits threw a gas bomb into a mail car, forced the crew to open the doors, footed the mail and got away? or that Washington state posse hunt ing an escaped convict with an air plane?
 It was only the other day that the possibility of forged finger prints was revealed but that is too modern a discovery to offset the latest eX- ploit reported in that line, where a duplicate art masterpiece of the fif- teenth century was proved to De a genuine copy by the original painter through the impress of his finger prints left while painting the can vas. Comparison with undoubted orighals and examination by ex- perts of the finger prints of the art ist on each convinced the most in credulous since it is hardly likely that two artists capable of painting masterpieces should have exactly the same thumb whorls.

"THE VALUE OF, MAN"
 SERMON-DR. HENDRIX

At Highlands Methodist church yesterday morning the pastor, Dr. w.. R. Hendrix, preached an interesting sermon taking for his text. HOW much then is man better than sheep?' Mathew 12:12.
 Dr. Hendrix said in part:
 .ss "When the man with withereo hand stood before Jesus on the Sab bath day to be healed, the Pharisees who were present protested thatit was not lawful to do this work on the Sabbath. Apparently the point at is- sue between them and Jesus was the proper method of observing the Sab bath; but really this was only a "sn-oke screen" behind which they sought to conceal that sordid com mercialism which was the capital or fense of dying nation
 Jesus at once unmasked their byprocrisy by asserting that any man among them whose sheep had fallen into a pit on the Sabbath day would lift it out, and never feel that Tn so doing he had violated the sanctlty of the holy day. Then in noble scorh He asks: How muchs then is man better than sheep?"
 These masters of casuistry couio not reply to the question, but went out of the synagogue to hold secret caucus to devise means Tor destroy ing Jesus. The question Is reVean.s one, uncovering the root-sin or .he Jewish leaders, and suggesting the salvation which Jesus came to oiter to them. Something was terribly wrong when men who helped a sheep ont of pit on the Sabbath day were aneered at the healing of one Of their beInless brothers. To these men whose religion had become pious sell ishness, a sheep was more thousn' of than a worthless paralyzed man ~ "F,very civilization must reaiiv test itself by the question, HOW ,,,,,cb then is a man better than a sbeep?, The answer to this uqesuon demands upon our general view or I,fa The materialist will work out this problem in compaHtiVe Vaiues by tellings us that both man ana Nhe sheen come from the earth ana re- turn to dust. That while man naS more power and larger capaoAy io, nleasure, the sheep has fewer pains and less care.
 .orhe creed of commercialism has been far more popular and mo less deadly in it's influence upon humani-
  whose life is dominated by con.mer- cialism will tell you that the problem is a very simple one. That both the man and the sheep are worth what they will bring in the open market and that fluctuating market ruled by supply and demand is the only tribunal for settling this problem
 Jesus held in sacred regard each individual man because of his In trinsic worth. He regarded him as a child of God, not merely as among his works. If you take the Christian view of life a man is better than sheep; that no power of computa- tion could begin to tell how much better than all sheep in all the world is one solitary man.
 Man is the true unit of value. de- pressing every other factor of world life in his degredation, and enhanc- ing every other value as he rises Tn larger measures of self-reaiiaznon.

.GOD,s INSPIRATIONS"
 SERMON-DR. HENRY

pr. ew. E. Henry, pastor of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church preached a sermon of unusual inter est at the II o'clock service yester- day morning. He took for his text If Jehovah is with us, then why has this calamity befallen us! Judges l3:6. S
 Dr. Henry said in part;
 All religions up to the coming of Christ were more or less mysteri- r ous and had clements of superstition in them and practiced senchantilent sleight of hand strove to appease deities. believing that whatever ca lamity or misfortune came upon them it came direct from God or the deities they worshiped, and was a displeas- ure for some sin in their lives.
 If child died, the parents had not been faithful; if property was swept away,-4the owner had sinned. and as result wrath was visited upon him.
 "Job," the preacher said. was the first to protest against that kind of doctrine. although his friends per sistently urged that the great calan- ities that had befallen him was a direct result of sin, notwithstanding the fact that God asked Satan if he had considered as, specimen of
