The Rev. Arnold Lewis To Conduct Laym en’s Conferences

T h e Rev. A rnold Lewis, E xecutive Secretary of the Presiding Bishop’s Committee for Laym en’s W ork , N ew York, w ill arrive in H on olu lu on September 23 rd to bring our laym en the message of our Presiding Bishop’s plan for evangelism.

T h e Bishop is having a conference of our clergy, start­ing September 22nd, and ending the morning of the 25th. T h e Bishop w ill be in charge on the 22nd and 23 rd, and the Rev. M r. L ew is on the 24th. T h e conference w ill be held at the Y outh Center, M okuleia.

O n Sunday evening, September 26th, all laymen of our churches w ill be invited to attend a meeting at Davies H all, St. A n drew ’s Cathedral, to hear the Rev. M r. Lewis". O n M onday, September 27th, key laym en from each parish and mission w ill meet at the D iocesan H ouse for an instruction period from the R ev. M r. Lewis.

September 28th and 29th, laym en on M aui w ill have an opportunity to m eet w ith the R ev. M r. Lew is. H e w ill go to H aw aii on September 30th and October 1st. Kauai w ill have the opportunity to hear him on October 4th and 5th. T h e m eetings on the other islands w ill be planned in the same manner as for O ahu— a general meeting of laym en the first evening and w ith key men from each parish and mission the second evening.

T h e R ev. M r. L ew is comes to us as one of our leading executives, w ith a message and program that w ill be helpful to us all. W e urge a hearty response from every parish and mission.

Youth ConferenceT h e D iocesan Y outh Conference was held at our

Y outh Center, at M okuleia, from A ugust 26th through the 29th. T h e Reverend Richard M . T release, Diocesan D irector of Y outh, and the Reverend L ew is Sheen were in charge of the arrangements for the Conference.

Y oung people from O ahu, Kauai, and H aw aii were in attendance. A ll Saints Church, Kappa, Kauai, sent 15 delegates, and the Island of Kauai 19. H o ly A postles’ Church, H ilo , H aw aii, sent tw o for the period.

T h e Reverend James S. Nakam ura gave the key address for the opening of the Conference. T h e Bishop also ad­dressed the group, and assisted w ith the sessions.

Dr. Brown

Called to CaliforniaT h e entire M issionary D istrict of H onolu lu feels the

tremendous loss to our w ork in the Church w ith the de­parture of T h e Rev. E . T an ner Brown, rector of St. C lem ent’s Church, H onolulu, for Palo A lto , California, w here he has accepted a call to take charge of the newly created congregation of St. M ark’s. D r. B row n has been a great force for good, not only in his parish, but as a Diocesan leader and comm unity worker. O ur Aloha and Godspeed go w ith him and his fam ily in his new venture. T h e challenge to him is almost overwhelming, but w e know he w ill play a great part in building an important work.

T h e Palo A lto congregation recently purchased three acres of property in the rapidly grow ing residential dis­trict of South Palo A lto , and construction of the first tw o units, the chapel and Sunday School, was started when D r. Brown was in Palo A lto for a w eek to confer w ith the vestry, to be present at the organization meeting of the congregation, attend a parish dinner, and other important gatherings.

M r. George Pope, formerly of H onolulu and an ar­dent worker in St. C lem ent’s Parish, is chairman of the building committee. A master plan has been created, which includes a complete church plant, a sw im m ing pool, and making the plant a comm unity center.

2

D r. Brown conducted the first service in an Army Chapel July 25th, w ith a congregation of 200, and led the ground-breaking ceremonies in the afternoon, at which the M ayor of Palo A lto addressed the 150 persons present.

D uring the rectorship of D r. Brown, St. C lem ent’s has made marked strides in development. In 1937 the parish house was built and furnished. T h e same year saw the dismantling of the old rectory and the purchase of a home on Ferdinand Avenue. T h e work at St. C lem ent’s grew in such proportions as to demand more facilities, so in 1941 construction began on a new Church, which was completed and consecrated in M ay, 1942. D uring 1947 an A rm y building w as purchased and placed on the pro­perty and made habitable for the rapidly increasing Church School, which has an enrollm ent of 350.

For many years D r. Brown served the Diocese as Chairman of the Council of Advice. H e is a member of the Diocesan Com m ittee for Church A rt and Architecture, the Board of Governors of Shingle M em orial Hospital, Diocesan Chairman of the D epartm ent of F ield and Publicity, and for several years assisted as editor of T he Hawaiian Church Chronicle. H e is a member of the board of the H onolulu C ouncil of Churches and has held office in the M inisterial U nion of O ahu. D r. Brown has been a member of the Rotary Club of H onolu lu for the past 15 years, serving as president in 1935.

A t his last service in St. C lem ent’s Church A ugust 29th, D r. Brown was accorded the Bishop’s Service Cross for outstanding service to his D iocese. T h e Bishop preach­ed at this service. F ollow ing the service an A loha reception was held honoring the Browns, w ishing them Godspeed in the great work ahead of them.

A n A ugust 25th the Bishop entertained the clergy at a luncheon honoring D r. Brown, held at the Diocesan House. M rs. Kennedy gave a luncheon for M rs. Brown at her home on A ugust 27th, having as her guests the clergy wives.

T h e Browns have endeared themselves to m any through their years of service in H aw aii, and w e know that our great loss is Palo A lto ’s gain. O ur warm A loha and praters go w ith them.

A New LookT h e A rm y and N avy Service C enter and Diocesan

House has taken on a new look w ith some very needed painting on the interior. T h e very delightful part of the improvements is that though it has been done by “loving hands at home” it has a very professional look, for the young men in service, M iss Jeanette Ehlers, teacher at St. A ndrew ’s Priory and M iss Katherine M orton, have been w ielding the brushes that have given the house the new look. M essrs Fred W heeler, Charles M orrison, W illiam Hereford, G len Peck, W illard D iets, W illiam Chandlee, John M unson, M ichael Grpytch, G eorge Russell, and D r. W illard D alrvm ple have all put on “fatigues” and gone to work. Our tw o Church boys from Kauai, staying in our annex, W allace T ad a and Susumu M orita, have also given a hand in this tedious venture. W e extend our sincere ap­preciation to the entire corps of workers, for w e know that everyone who frequents the H ouse w ill derive plea­sure from the added attractiveness of it.

Welcome To HaivaiiIt is always a pleasure to welcom e new members of

our Diocesan fam ily, and w e feel especially blessed in the presence of the Rev. and M rs. L ew is Sheen at St. A ndrew ’s Cathedral. T h ey arrived the latter part ofJune and have plunged into the activities of the parishw ith enthusiasm and vigor. Both are charming and have made many friends in a very short time.

O n A ugust 18th and 19th the young people of the Cathedral put on the play “K ind L ady,” to raise money for our Y outh Center at M okuleia. M rs. Sheen very capably directed the play, and $266 .56 w ent toward the debt at M okuleia through this effort. W e congratulate and thank both M rs. Sheen and the cast, for they worked very hard on it.

* % * Ф

T h e Rev. and M rs. George D avison arrived in July to take up their work at Paauilo, H aw aii. T h ey are a very attractive and happy addition to the D iocesan Family. T h e important w ork of building a new church and rectory is facing them, and w e feel confident that this w ill go forward in capable hands.

* -* * *

T h e Rev. and M rs. John Caton and sm all daughter arrived September 1st for their new w ork on Kauai. T hey go to A ll Saints’ Church, Kapaa, having come to us from V erm illion, South Dakota. T h e . Rev. M r. Caton served as a Chaplain in the A rm y during W orld W a r II and was stationed in H aw aii during part of his service. W e are very happy that this fine fam ily can come to assist w ith the important w ork on Kauai, and welcom e them as members of our D iocesan family.

Bishops entering Canterbury Cathedral at Opening Service of Lambeth Conference.

Lambeth ConferenceJuly 1st, 1948 107 Sea Road,

W estgate-on-Sea K ent, England

M iss K . M orton T h e Bishop’s Office Queen Em m a Square H onolulu , Т .Н .

D ear M iss M orton,I have just come from the great opening service of the

Lambeth Conference, in Canterbury Cathedral, so thought you w ould like an eyewitness impression w hile it is fresh in one’s mind.

First, however, let me give a little recent history. A t the end of M ay, teams of Bishops w ho arrived early for the Conference, were sent to various dioceses in England, and preached in various Cathedrals and addressed mass meetings for the “Lambeth Cam paign.” O n Saturday, M ay 29, a great Y outh Service w as held in Canterbury Cathedral, addressed by Bishops from Idaho and Gambia. O n Sunday night, w e had a mass meeting in M argate Hippodrome, w hen the Bishop o f Kobe, Presiding Bishop of Sei К о K w ai, and the Bishop of G raham stown, South A frica, w ere the speakers. T h e enthusiasm w as great, and the same thing happened all over England, so our people are more “Lambeth m inded.” T h e M others’ U nion

and Sunday School children have also had great meetings at Canterbury, so w e feel more and more a part of the w orld-w ide Church. For months, the old Cathedral has been in the hands of cleaners and decqrators, to try to bring som ething of the former glory back w hich had been hidden during the war.

T oday, I w as fortunate enough to have a ticket to at­tend the service w ith some 250 other clergy of the Canterbury diocese, and w e processed in the great nave from the crypt, w hile the congregation already filled every seat available. A few minutes later, a procession of rural deans, and Cathedral Canons, and other Church dignitaries from other churches wended its w ay up the nave and through the door leading to the Choir. Then the M ayor of Canterbury, w ith city officials, in state, fol­low ed by the D ean, resplendent in cape of blue over his red vestments. A little later the Choir school led the M issionary Bishops, each in a group of their province w ith a banner of redwood shaped like a cross, giving the name of the Dioceses, D iocese of the M idd le East, Far East, A tlantic, W est Africa, East A frica, then Japan, China, W est Indies, South Africa, N e w Zealand, A ustralia, India, Burma and Ceylon, Canada, U .S .A . (h ow pleased I was to see such a good muster from the U .S .A .) T h en came bishops from Scotland, Ireland, W ales, Y ork province and Canterbury province w ith the bishops of W inchester, Durham and London in order of

Address Read by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Buckingham Palace

May it please Y our M ajesty,W e, the Archbishops and Bishops of the A nglican C om ­

munion, now assembled in the eighth Lambeth Conference respectfully desire to express our gratitude to Y our M a­jesty in graciously consenting to receive us.

In spite of conditions w hich make travelling difficult and expensive, 325 Bishops are present at the conference, the largest number of Bishops ever to be gathered together 011 English soil and exceeding by 18 those who assembled in 1930. In addition to Bishops from w ithin the U nited Kingdom, everyone of Y our M ajesty’s D om inions is represented. N o few er than 66 Bishops are present from the U nited States of Am erica. M ost happily too the Pre­siding Bishop of the Church in Japan and the Chairman of the H ouse of Bishops of the Church in China are here with some of their colleagues. T here are also Bishops representing every portion of Your M ajesty ’s Colonial Empire as w ell as many countries outside Your M ajesty’s jurisdiction.

T h is w orld-w ide fam ily of Churches, w hich in the providence of God has sprung, directly or indirectly, from the Church of England, has its deep and enduring unity in our common loyalty to those living truths of the Christian Faith which are founded on the Revelation of God in H oly Scripture and expressed in the Book of C om ­mon Prayer.

In the light of that Faith and in reliance upon the H oly Spirit, w e are engaged in exam ining some great problems of our day. O ur general theme is “God in H is W orld and in H is C hurch.” Confronted by a w orld in which M an ’s true nature and destiny are so w ide misconceived in theory and denied in practice, w e are giving special thought to the Christian doctrine of M an, know ing that only by a true response to that doctrine and to the gospel of God on w hich it is grounded, can the nations learn to live in accord w ith truth and justice and in harmony w ith one another.

thorities are assuming increasing powers and sometimes dangerous and destructive powers, w e are concerned w ith the protection of the inherent rights of men to worship and serve God according to conscience and are examining the conflicts which arise in many countries between State control and essential liberties.

T ak in g up again the labours of previous Conferences, w e seek to further the cause of Reunion among the Churches. T h e fact that at our opening session w e received friendly delegations from the Eastern O rthodox Churches, from the O ld Catholic Church of the C ontinent, from the Churches of all the Scandinavian countries, from the Church of Scotland and from the Free Churches of this country is an indication of the grow ing com m unity of spirit, between now separated bodies. Further advance towards fu ll m utual recognition is beset by many difficul­ties. But w e do not falter in the quest of that unity which is the w ill of God for H is Church.

W e are also considering questions which concern the order, organization and policy of the Churches of our

own Communion. Some of these questions raise issues of great complexity, theological and practical. W e are con­scious of a grave responsibility in these matters and earn­estly pray that w e may be so guided by God as to enable our Churches the more faithfully and effectively to dis­charge the trust w hich O ur Lord has assigned to them w ithin the U niversal Church.

W e know w ell the gravity of these times and wish to meet them— and to help others to meet them— w ith faith and courage. T o us in our labours and to all the Churches of our Communion it is indeed a great encouragement that Y our M ajesty w ith H er M ajesty T h e Queen gives to all Y our M ajesty’s peoples and indeed .to the whole w orld so shining an example of Christian duty and service. W e are fu lly assured that in the discharge of the trust com­m itted to us as Bishops in the Church of God we can ever rely upon Y our M ajesty’s gracious understanding and sympathy.

W hether w e be among Y our M ajesty ’s subjects or not, all of us w ith equal fervour and gratitude invoke the Blessings of A lm ighty G od upon Y our M ajesty, upon H er M ajesty T h e Queen and upon every member of your Royal House, and are ever Y our M ajesty’s humble and devoted servants.

The K ing’s Speech in Reply to The Address from the Archbishop of Canterbury, July 13, 1948

T h e Queen and I are very glad to welcom e you here today. It is a very happy experience for us to receive the Archbishops and Bishops of the A nglican Communion assembled for the eighth Lambeth Conference. W e are particularly glad to be able to see again so many of you w hom w e have already m et during our visits to the Com m onw ealth and Empire, and to the U nited States of America.

It is eighteen years since you last assembled, and despite all the difficulties in the way, the attendance at this Conference is larger than ever before. A t the first Lambeth Conference there w ere only seventy-six Bishops present; today there are nearly three hundred and thirty. Seventy years ago the m ajority o f those present were Bishops of dioceses in this country; today nearly two-thirds of you come from overseas. T h e largest single delegation from any autonom ous church comes from the U nited States at a time w hen that great country is assuming heavy respon­sibilities for the healing of a torn w orld. I pray that our tw o peoples may collaborate in that task as closely as our tw o parts of the A nglican Communion are now doing. Y our members include Bishops of many races, born in India, A frica, Ceylon, China, Japan, the W est Indies, and one of M aori Race, w ho represent Churches in all parts of the w orld w hich are now part of our communion. In the course of not much more than a century w hat was in fact as w ell as in name the Church of England has become a w orld-w ide fellow ship of Churches. A nd that fellow ship w ill, w e trust, be strengthened by the assemb­ling of this conference under the presidency of Your Grace.

D uring the past decade, the remarkable extension of m an’s scientific powers compels us to ask w hether this

development has increased or diminished his abilities to shape his own destiny. Can he master those powers so as to prevent their resulting in his own destruction? Can man make them minister to the glory of God so that they may serve the temporal as w ell as the eternal good of mankind. Confronted as w e all are w ith this and other no less urgent problems, you have rightly chosen as your general theme “God in H is W orld and in H is C hurch.” O n ly by a wholehearted acceptance of those eternal truths concerning God and man, which O ur Lord has entrusted to the Church, w ill the nations find the w ay to peace, and men be able to live together according to the Christian stan­dards of truth, justice and brotherly love.

T h e Queen and I therefore pray sincerely that under the guidance of the H oly Spirit all your deliberations may lead to the advancement of the Kingdom of God, so that men w ill be able in the years to come to look back on this Lambeth Conference w ith gratitude to A lm ighty God for the inspiration and fruitfulness of your labours.

Successfully LaunchedO ur first Diocesan Summer Camps were most success­

fully launched by the Reverends Richard M . Trelease, Jr., and Richard S. Corry as directors, and M iss A lary W hitten as co-director. T h ey were ably assisted by A ir. Fred W heeler, M iss Ethel Okum ura, A liss Ethel Alatsu- mura and A liss Katherine M orton, w ho acted as counselors.

T h e best test of a camp is the eagerness of the young­sters to know w hat preparations are being made for “next year.” “L et’s have it longer next year,” was the plea most comm only heard.

From the rising bell to lights out, the schedule was planned for the enjoym ent of the young people. T h e Bishop wishes to commend those w ho helped make the camp such a success. It is an undertaking that requires much planning and hard work, but it pays tremendous dividends in the good it does our young people in spiritual growth and closer fellowship w ith their Church.

Best Camper awards were made to the boys and girls of each camp session. T h e younger group was proud that Paul G enung, of St. A n drew ’s Cathedral and Alarlene Renner, of St. A lary’s Alission were the recipients of the coveted awards. In the older group Paige Cubbison and Peter Smith, both of St. Stephen’s Alission, were chosen as best bov and girl camper. Awards were also given for the best in Bunk Inspection and for sports participated in.

Youth CentersT h e young people on O ahu have sponsored Canteens

during the summer to raise money for their Y outh Center at A lokuleia. T h e canteens serve a double purpose of raising money for a very w orthy cause and for creating recreation of a wholesome nature for the boys and girls of teen ages. It is the hope of the D iocesan Y outh Council that these w ill become a regular part of the Church schedule of our young people. So far St. E lizabeth’s Parish, St. A lark’s and Epiphany Alissions, St. A ndrew ’s Cathedral Parish, St. P eter’s Parish and H oly T rin ity Y P F ’s have been hosts to the canteens. W alton Shim, of St. E lizabeth’s Parish, is president of the Y P F C ouncil and has played a great part in sponsoring the plans for the canteens.

Announce Youth Conference Theme“ U nited ! C om m itted! in C hrist” w ill be the theme of

the Christian Y outh Conference of N orth Am erica which will bring together 5,000 young people from the U nited States and Canada. T hese young people w ill gather in Grand Rapids, A lichigan, A ugust 3 1 -September 5, 1948 “T o demonstrate the power of Christ and H is Church in the lives of young Christians of N orth A m erica.”

T h e Episcopal Church has accepted a quota of 100 young people. T h e N ational Y outh Commission, in dis­cussing the significance of this Conference and making plans for assuring a fu ll and representative delegation, worked on the basis of at least one delegate from each diocese and missionary district of the Church. T h e Y outh leader in each diocese has fu ll inform ation on the con­ference.

Youth to Have its Own Forward— Day by Day

A special arrangement has been made w ith the Forward M ovem ent to issue youth editions of the daily devotional manual, F o rw a r d — day by d ay . T h e L ate-T rin ity issue w ill introduce the Y outh Edition. T h is edition w ill contain particular information of interest to young people in ad­dition to the regular daily readings and prayers.

In making plans for the youth of the parish, those responsible for this phase of the program w ill w ant to see to it that F o rw a r d — day by d a y— Y outh Edition is distributed to every young person.

T h e L ate-T rin ity issue begins on September 19, 1948.

Church, o f England Youth CouncilPresidential address delivered by H .R .H . T h e Princess

Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, on the occasion of the C ouncil’s Reception held at Lambeth on Ju ly 21st 1948, for the members of the Lambeth Conference to meet representatives of the N ational V oluntary Y outh O rgan­izations.

■* -* * *A s President of the Church of England Y outh Council,

I am very glad that I can be here today to w elcom e you all to this Reception. T h e Lambeth Conference provides a splendid opportunity for the Leaders of the National V oluntary Y outh Organizations to meet the Bishops of the A nglican Communion. I feel sure that you w ill all return to your homes, in this country or overseas, en­couraged by the sense of unitv you have found here, and by the fru itfu l discussions w hich have taken place.

T h e Church has had its fu ll share of the difficulties of our times. W e hear much of the challenge to Christianity ; but I believe that it is nothing like so formidable as the challenge of Christianity. For w hile it may be easy to ad­mire or to defend the Christian w ay of life, there is no­thing harder than to put it into practice. In days of great uncertainty like these, the strength w e need is not to be found in an easy going materialism. It is faith alone that can give each one of us the security for which w e are longing.

Christianity is the religion o f the individual, but it w ould be arrogant to suppose that anyone of us can w restle alone w ith the problems w e have got to face. T he Organizations, represented here today, reflect far and w ide by their activities the fellow ship w hich the Church itself provides in its task of helping the individual in his or her relationship w ith G od. H ow ever independent we may feel w e cannot reject the guidance of other people’s experience and the accumulated wisdom of past genera­tions.

A m ong the w orst enemies of the Christian Church are apathy, m isunderstanding and diffidence. T h ere is apathy towards religion because it is so much easier to live from day to day w ithout facing the really serious problems of our existence. M isunderstanding of w hat the Church stands for is due to ignorance w hich the Church itself and the youth organizations do all in their p ow er'to overcome. But the third enemy, diffidence, is perhaps the most difficult to meet, since it springs from a deep and in a sense praiseworthy instinct. H o w often it is that people are put off saying or doing w hat they really believe to be right by the fear of being laughed at, of being thought a prig, or simply o f expressing a deeply felt emotion. T his is w here the youth organizations can do a great deal. T o be ashamed of the Christian religion w rongs both its Founder and H is Church. B ut like so many human weak­nesses this is no more than yielding to the fashion of the day. It is a fashion w hich can be changed: and that,I believe, is where wise leadership w ill be the deciding factor.

Each of the voluntary organizations has its special characteristics and its ow n methods. B ut they all have the same ideal, an ideal based on the teachings of Christ. T he Church of England Y outh Council is represented on the various religious advisory panels w hich the Y outh Organ­

izations have set up. T h ey are of the greatest value to the Council and I hope that the reverse is also true. In such a way, great numbers of young people are kept in touch w ith the thought and the activities of the Church, and the leaders of the Church itself can study the m ove­ment of opinion in the rising generation.

I have no doubt that among people of all ages this close co-operation w ill strengthen the ties which unite the church of England in all its branches throughout the world.

Notes From Kauai Young PeopleM ay 31, 1948, w ill be a day that w ill linger in our

memories for a long time to come. A joint picnic and volleyball game was held at H analei beach between the young people of Christ M em orial and St. John’s. It was a championship game between the girls of the tw o churches and the victory w ent to the girls of Christ M em orial.

Four carloads left from E leele and met K ilauea’s group in front of the Christ M em orial Parish H all.

T hree games of volleyball were played for the cham­pionship. Complaints that the pangs of hunger were much in evidence came from practically everyone before the games ended. Lunch was eaten at 12:30 and the food w ent out of sight no sooner than it w as down on the tables.

T h e majority of the group w ent to see the Caves at H aena after lunch. A hike up part of the Kalalau T ra il took the breath away from a few — either from sheer ex­haustion or from looking at the breathtaking scenes one could see from the trail. N o one ventured farther than the little house on the trail, for fear that the w ind might blow him off the cliff.

Swim m ing was enjoyed by a few w hile others sat enviously w atching them enjoy the cool water. T h e last on the program for the day was a visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse.

— Beatrice Yokote

Appointed Mother Superior o f PrioryW e bid A loha to Sister H elen Veronica, w ho for ten

years served as Superior at the Priory. She has done much to build and strengthen the w ork at St. A n drew ’s Priory in the years she served our Church in the Islands. She has won a very fine place in the hearts of all w ho knew her, and her recall to the M other H ouse w ill leave a great gap in the life of our Church. She was a firm advocate for the building of a self-supporting diocese, and staunchly backed the Bishop in his eagerness to see this come about, as was evidenced in her effort in increasing the Episcopate Endowm ent through Priory endeavors.

Sister W in ifred A gnes has also been recalled to take charge of the w ork of the Sisters of the Transfiguration at the M ission of St. Simon of Cyrene. Sister Evelyn An- cilla w ill come to the Priory to take her place.

W e regret losing these fine Sisters, but w ish them G od’s blessings in their new work.

Sister M arion Beatrice is to take charge of the Priory, and w e welcom e her. She has been w ith us for several months, and w e have learned to have a great A loha for her. She is both capable and lovable, and w e rejoice in the new role she is to play.

Welcomed To KolialaT he Rev. and M rs. H arold Smith and fam ily are now

Visits HonoluluT he R t. Rev. T hom as Casadv, Bishop of Oklahoma,

was guest at the Diocesan H ouse for tw o weeks during July and A ugust. H e was in H onolulu for a rest from his arduous duties as Bishop.

IN MEMORIAMFriends of M iss M abel Schaefer w ill be saddened to

learn of her death in N ew York C ity, A ugust 1, 1948. She had been flown there from Japan to undergo an operation. She served as a teacher at St. A n drew ’s Priory for many years, then w ent to Japan. She returned to the Islands after she was evacuated from Japan during the war, to serve as director of C luett H ouse. In 1946 she w ent to the Philippine Islands as a stepping stone to her return to Japan. She had been in Japan only a short time when her illness forced her to return to N e w York.

A lm ighty G od, w e remember this day before thee thy faithful servant, M abel, and w e pray that having opened to her the gates of larger life, thou w ilt receive her more and more into thy joyfu l service; that she may w in, w ith thee and thy servants everywhere, the eternal victory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In his diocesan paper, Bishop Stephen F . Bayne unburdens his soul in this fashion: “ I f you have any respect io r the Bishop’s blood pressure, P L E A S E do not use the word ‘Reverend’ as a title. It is wrong. It is sinful. It is against Emily Post. It is ungramm atical. I t is everything that is loathsome and horrible. T here. ‘Reverend’ is an adjective, like ‘H onorable’ w hich is used to m odify a noun— as ‘T h e Reverend M r. B row n,’ or “T h e Reverend John B row n.’ It is N O T a title. It is A L W A Y S prefixed by ‘the.’ It is N E V E R used w ith the last name alone. Archbishops are ‘T h e M ost Reverend,’— that includes Bishop Sherrill in our books— Bishops are ‘T h e R ight Reverend,’ Deans are ‘T h e V ery Reverend,’ Archdeacons are ‘T h e V ener­able’, Parish priests— those peasants— are ‘T h e R everend.’ End of annual blast on that subject.”

H aw aii to Share in Radio Program,O n October 1, at 8 :00 p.m. eastern standard time, the

first w eekly national network radio program of the Church w ill go on the air. It is produced by the N ational Council, w ith the enthusiastic and valuable cooperation of the Episcopal A ctor’s G uild.

T h ese programs w ill be given each Friday evening, by transcription over Station K P O A , from 7 :00 to 7 :30 p.m. from October 1st until September 30, 1949.

T h is is the first important Church broadcast to be sent out on a w eekday evening, w hen listening audiences are largest.

T h e program is a complete innovation in Church broad­casting. It is pioneering. It is planned to reach the un­churched, w ho w ill never, voluntarily tune in on the usual type of religious broadcast. It is hoped to develop some interest and relationship between the Church and many of the seventy m illion pagan-Americans, w ho have no Chuch affiliation whatever.

T h e program makes no attempt to do the w ork that clergy and parish church are intended to do. I t aims to reach the unchurched, to show them that the Church has help to offer in personal problems, and that its aim, right now , is of special timeliness, in this unsettled w orld. It is designed to bring people into parish churches, and to have them get acquainted w ith the rectors. T h en the local parishes and missions have the magnificent oppor­tunity of leading these “inquirers” into the Christian fel­lowship . . . a challenging opportunity indeed.

T h e unusual nature of the program prompted the P re­siding Bishop, in urging the support of Church leaders, to refer to it as “this new , to some' daring, and yet es­sentially sound evangelistic plan.”

G reat Scenes From G reat Plays is the title o f the program. Fine dramatic works are presented by great artists of both stage and screen. T h e 800 members of the Episcopal A ctors’ G uild , w ith other guest stars of equal magnitude, are eager to do their fu ll share in making

the broadcasts truly memorable dramatic presentations. T h e programs w ill draw listeners, churched and un­churched, through sheer entertainm ent value and artistic merit. F ollow ing the drama, a lesson is drawn, briefly and pointedly, from the play itself, then comes a closing comm ent about the Church and w hat it can do for the needy people of this chaotic age, w ith an invitation to come to Church, your own Church if you have one and if not, then get acquainted w ith the local Episcopal Church and its rector. Listeners are asked to send for a booklet, F in d in g Y o u r IV a y , which tells about the Church, simply and directly, in a style planned especially for people unfam iliar w ith ecclesiastical nomenclature.

T h e first presentation, Friday, October 1st, w ill be R ostand’s famous C yra n o de B erg era c , w ith the distin­guished veteran of the stage, W alter Ham pden, playing the role of Cyrano, the role w hich he has portrayed more than a thousand times. Episcopal Churchman Hampden w ill appear in all the subsequent programs as host, pre­senting play and players and giving necessary narration to set the scenes.

W h ile not intended for the saints of the Church, who, none the less, w ill w ant to hear the programs, every Church member can help make the program fu lfill their evangelistic purpose. A lready men are organizing tele­phone groups, w om en are planning to invite friends to their homes to hear, young people are developing listen­ing groups, and clergy are thinking of sermons based on the lesson taught by the various broadcasts. Every Church member can have a part in building the listening audience of the unchurched . . . that in itself constituting a fine evangelistic service.

A radio producer, not associated w ith the program in any w ay, said: “T h is is a fine and challenging thing. It is bound to succeed. It opens w ide a door of opportunity to the w hole Episcopal Church, and should, in time, strengthen every parish in the entire Episcopal Com­m union.”

Iolani School Starts BuildingConstruction has started on the first phase of the new

$1 ,000 ,000 Iolani School plant w hich w ill occupy 25 acres of centrally-located land on the mauka side of the A la W a i canal.

Ground breaking ceremonies for the first unit, a $115,- 000 faculty apartment house, were held Friday, w ith the R t. Rev. H arry S. Kennedy, Episcopal Bishop of H ono­lulu, turning the first earth, assisted by M r. Ralph M onell, headmaster.

T h is building w ill occupy a portion of the site along D ate St. and Laau Place.

T h e unit w ill house three faculty fam ilies and 18 other faculty members. It w ill be of reinforced concrete and fu lly fireproof, w ith concrete floors. A tw o-story structure, it is expected to be ready for occupancy in January.

T h e master plan includes: A chapel, classrooms to ac­commodate a maximum of 800 boys, a complete athletic field house and field, w ith grandstand facilities to ac­commodate interscholastic games, a sw im m ing pool, and a dormitory for about 100 boys including both outer island and O ahu boarding students.

“Skyrocketing prices of materials and uncertainty of labor conditions have made it unwise to schedule further construction at this tim e,” M r. M on ell said.

“B ut the board of governors has definite plans to go ahead w ith subsequent construction as soon as conditions have changed sufficiently to w arrant bringing the master plan to com pletion.”

T h e master plan shows that classrooms w ill provide considerable open space, allow ing maximum natural light­ing. T h e classroom unit w ill be a long one-story building w ith some, rooms extending out to allow w indow space on three sides.

“T h e determination to launch the first phase of the master plan represents a natural step in the grow th and development of this famous school, which has been active in H onolulu since October, 1862, when it was founded by H aw aii’s first A nglican bishop,” M r. M onell said. It was known in itially as St. A lban’s C ollege.

T h e present school site of N uuanu and Judd Sts. was purchased in 1927 and temporary buildings erected. Due to rapid grow th, this five acre site has proved inadequate for present needs, and the board of governors authorized purchase of a larger site.

T h e present N uuanu St. buildings, once the new school is completed, probably w ill be maintained as the elemen­tary school, M r. M onell said.

Iolani School was incorporated in 1942, and, under Bishop Kennedy’s guidance, has continued to grow, the headmaster said. W hen classes resume next month, the school expects its largest enrollm ent in history.

O ne of its prominent alumni is C hina’s hero, D r. Sun Y at Sen, w ho as a youth named T a i C hu, attended Iolani as a boarder from 1880 to 1886.

O riginally, the school w as founded for the purpose of educating H aw aiian and part H aw aiian boys.

T h e board of governors, headed by Bishop Kennedy, in­cludes Rev. Kenneth A . Bray, vice president; Benjamin F. D illingham , secretary; George M . Collins, treasurer; D r. Paul W ith ington , R olla C. Thom as, Kenneth Day, H ugh C. T ennet, D r. Y . S. Seto, D r . T hom as A . Jaggar, Charles S. Sturges, and H eadm aster M onell.

Lambeth Conference . . .Continued from page 4

precedence. T hen came a short pause, w hile the organ played. T hen trumpeters stood on the steps leading to the choir, and played a fanfare, w hich echoed gloriously in the high vaulted C eiling, as the chief procession of pre­siding bishops and archibishops led by the great silver processional cross of Canterbury moved up the nave after the boys’ choir, w hich sang Psalm 122 so sw eetly. “ I was glad w hen they said unto me, w e w ill go into the house of the L ord.” T h e red hues of the Bishops’ robes made a warm picture after the w hite surplices of the boys. O n e’s mind w ent back to bygone history, as one stood in this 1000-year old cathedral. “T hither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the L ord” and here were representatives of the tribes from all over the w orld. T h en the congrega­tion joined in the processional hymn of praise, “A llelu ia, sing to Jesus, H is the scepter, H is the throne.” T h e A rch­bishop of Canterbury was robed sim ply like all the others, not w earing his mitre and cope, and I think it added to the spirit of fellow ship and simple dignity. H ere the bishops had met, not for a show or to display their costly apparel, but to come to worship in this ancient shrine of the A nglican Faith, to ask the blessing of G od’s H oly Spirit upon the conference and the w orld-w ide church.

T h e D ean of Canterbury read the lesson in a clear voice, heard all over the Cathedral by the aid of loud speakers. T hen the choir sang an athem. “H ear the voice and prayer of T h y servants” music by С. B. Rootham. T h en the Archbishop, seated in St. A ugustine’s Chair, gave his address of welcom e. W e in the nave could not see him, as the stone screen blocks the choir. H e paid a sympathetic tribute to the late Archbishop T em ple, and commended the Churches of the Pacific w ho had endured the ravages of war. A fter prayers by the Archbishop, w e sang, “Praise to the Lord, the A lm ighty, the K ing of C reation,” a fine inspiring hymn, then the benediction pronounced by the Archbishop and another fanfare of trumpets brought the historic service to a close. A s the Bishops and choir recessed to the W est door, the congregation sang, “ For all the saints w ho from their labours rest.”

T h e Bishops wrere entertained to tea at a large marquee on the law ns in the Cathedral precincts and a band played. U nfortunately the weather was w indy, cloudy and cold. In fact this w eek w e have had heavy rain and thunder storms, w ith strong north w inds and the sea here is very rough. I saw Bishop Kennedy to speak to for a minute after the service, and also Bishop Keeler and Bishop Kemp- thorne of Polynesia. It w as good to see the Bishop in Canterbury, and he has asked me to meet him at Lambeth next T hursday, w ith D enis and A irs. Smith.

For myself, there isn’t much news. I am w ell and Elizabeth is grow ing a tall girl. She w ill soon be six years old. She is still liv ing at M argate, w ith my brother and family.

I received the first parcel of clothing from M rs. W hite, on behalf of the W om en ’s A uxiliary. I f you see her, please thank her and let her know it reached here safely.
