This Is the second time within
generation that youngmen of Am
erica have been called by the million
to give all that they have for their
country, for the ideals for which this
country stands" stated Rev. DR..
John G. Walker, Second Congrega-
tional Church pastor, yesterday
morning in his sermon, Afterwards.
DR.. Walker said in part:
They put 1t all to the touch, they
risk everything. It ought not to be
hard to make 1t clear to Christians
In these times that religious con-
victions as well as patriotic loyalties,
demand on occasion, ultimate and
final sacrifices. The only kind of
Christianity that counts In world
like ours, in a time like this, Is the
kind that takes into account the full
meaning of sacrifice. And let us
take courage in the fact that our
missionaries and their converts in
the war zones everywhere are Show
ing the same high courage and for
titude as the men under arms.
Christianity, which was suffering
eclipse in China only fifteen years
ago, is in high favor today because
the Christians have proved their
mettle under fire.
Some one has said, "One Of the
greatest words in the English
language is afterwards It is in
the afterwards that our hope is
conferred" I believe that. I believe
it on the authority of the Holy
Scripture. Sometimes the word APP
pears as "afterward" and sometimes
as ''afterwards" but in the one form
or the other that word serves as a
keynote of some Of the greatest
passages of Scripture. The word is
great, not so much in its own right,
as in its associations, as in the
direction in which 1t points. Love"
peace" "Joy," faith" are some of
the great New Testament words,
words that have tremendous power
in their own right. "Afterward" is
not gospel in itself but it does
point toward the high goals of the
Christian faith 1t serves to reveal
and underline the great issues, the
immortal hopes, of the life abund-
ant.
"Afterward" Is word upon which
the issue turns in so many cases.
1t is the toughstone by which we
form our final judgment. In days
of old before the advent Of the
science of chemistry those who
worked with precious metals used a
peculiar kind of black, siliceous rock
to test the purity of gold and silver
When this stone was rubbed with
gold or silver certain characteristic
colors were produced ON the black
stone. The shades of color varied
very considerably depending upon
the content and proportion Of the
precious metals. So you see the gold
smith or the silversmith could base
his judgment on the telltale marks
on the touchstone. So in the course
of time men began to speak of q
tombstone as a test or criterion by

Honolulu, Jan. 26-There hasn't
been so much activity in Hawaii
since they dethroned the last Ha-
waiian queen half century ago.
AT least, that's the opinion OF the
graybeards around town who have
lived through so peaceful years here
on a sleepy tropical island.
Honolulu, today, is a gangly, grow
ing, defense youngster in the throes
OF coming of age-rudely-as Of Dec.
7.
Palm-fringed streets are studded
with sandbagged machine-gun nests,
buildings are heavily barricaded and
sentries challenge all persons who
stroll outside at night.
During the day new soldiers are
everywhere, just off transports,
gawking like the tourists Of sea-
son ago.
Our favorite beaches are crisis
crossed with barbed wire and pitted
with gun emplacements.
Honolulu housewives gossip over
back fences about the new island
vegetables they are trying out be-
cause most mainland supplies are
curtailed. There's a shortage, too,
of candy, beef, oranges.
Honolulu businessmen are con-
cerned with (a) how to get more ga
soline ration tickets, Cd when IL
quor will be back in Hawaii, Co
should par be raised on golf courses
since the army fouled the fairways
with barbed wire to prevent enemy
planes from landing, Cd whether to
pay that bomb shelter company $40
to dig the shelter or do the job
themselves, (e) about that liquor
again.
Honolulu children aren't con-
cerned about a thing. Schools are
closed, for the present at least. Boy
Scouts help keep waiting lines in or
der at civilian fingerprinting sta
tons and Girl Scouts are folding
bandages for the Red Cross and
learning how to knit.
CRIME IS ON
THE DOWNBEAT
Crime Is down to its lowest lev
ell in years in a blacked-out town
that goes to bed with the chickens
and gets up with the dawn patrol.
And, there hasn't been hangover
since Dec. Z.
The cry, Remember Pearl Harbor"
has gained significance that will
probably out-shout slogans of the
past. Local newspapers and radio
stations blast out the phrase daily
restaurants print 1t on their menus,
sailors sing it, soldiers speak it and
hundreds emboss it on their letter.
heads.
We double up in autos for rides to
work, for gas is rationed at only 10
gallons a month.
At grocery stores our favorite
storekeeper apologies:
Sorry, but you can only buy two
of each article military orders
no boarding.
And, thus, carefully worked out
budgets are shot to pieces.

TELL HIM so
(From Best Loved Poems of the American Peopie)
If you hear kind word spoken
OF some worthy soul you know,
It may fill his heart with sunshine
If you only tell him So
II a deed, however humble
Helps you your way to CO.
Sees the one whose hand has helped you,
Seek him out and tell him So
II your heart Is touched and tende.
Toward sinner lost and low,
It might help him TO do better
If you'd only tell him SO!
Oh, my sisters oh, my brothers,
As DER nfes rough path you go,
If Gods love has saved and kept you
Do not fail to tell men SO!
