After the impressive funeral serv-
ices the body of the last prince of the

resting place. three miles up a noun
tain back of the town. Instead of
horses. 800 natives. wearing elaborate
costumes, pulled the hearse from the
church to the burial ground. A
wreath presented by President Hard
ing was laid on the casket Four

of flowers. and the cortege took three
hours to pass. All the inhabitants of
the islands seemingly had gathered
Tor the funeral; natives OF all ages,
including an old woman of 81 years. a
survival of the royal days of Hawaii.

Something to
Think Ab0ut
THE SOFT ANSWER
By F. II. WALKER

yvTHEN you shall see. feet and
w know the sovereign power OF
the soft answer, you VIII not
hesitate TO admit its priceless value
In preserving the friendship OF peo-
plies and nations.
Though sponsor or all that is
good and noble in mankind there Is
an illogical willingness in mos. OF
us To shun its charming companion
ship and turn 10 rougher acquaint-
anees.
When the world is jangling and
vicious tongues are splitting fire and
birthstone, it is quite natural for us
10 pile more fuel on the flame, re-
gardless of the spreading confiagra-
ton. even though il be smuggling the
good names OF our friends.
We lose our grip on self-respect
until calmness comes with after
thought, and shows us the error Of
our way.
Then. as the scales fall from our
eyes we become penitent.
For days we move shame-facedly
from pillar 10 post. avoiding the
friends we have hurt. And aside
from the terror of separation which
confrOnts MS. we are tormented by
remorse which undoes our nerves and
trottles our spirits.
AS we reflect upon our behavior.
we realize that our miseries come
from our own workshop. They are
tied in bullying bags ard delivered at
our door. as apologize folk would
have us believe. but of our own grind
ing-horrlble grlSt filed with worms.
Upon those persons who have
habltuated themselves To use gentle
words. and to use In streSsful argll-
ments the soft answer. the sun of
goodwill shines perpetually.
They are cOurted by the young and
the old for their friendship and cheer
lulnesS, which comfort and delight in
the darkest days OF sorrow, and warm
in winters cold.
Their influence for good is rs i'm
measurable as IL mothers love.
Perhaps you may have friends
among these kindly persons To whom
you turn ..wnen difficulties torment,
life's skeinss are tangled and your
heart is burdened beyond its
strength. If You have. heaven in
deed has blessed you.
Observe the lightness of their eyes.
the smile that is ever about the lips,
the musical intonation of the voice
when il answers softly. And as you
do. resolve that you, too. will wed
your tongue To the soft answer that
