Circumcision The EpiphanyFirst Sunday after EpiphanySecond Sunday after EpiphanySeptuagesimaConversion of S. PaulSexagesima-Purification В. V. M.-Quinquagesima-Ash Wednesday

S t. M a r y ’s M is s io n

One of the prettiest of the Mission Churches in Honolulu is St. Mary's, built in 1917 by General Edward Davis in memory of his wife. The reredos con­sists of three panels, the center one pictures the Infant Christ in his Mother’s lap under the watchful care of St. Joseph, and on either side are panels of the shepherds and the Magi. Outside the Chancel rail is a lovely Medallion of the Mother and Child and upon the rood screen is a very fine Calvary group..

Although very seriously handicapped by having no resident Priest, the work is carried on by lay workers. A devoted young man, John Ito, has for several years taken the Sunday school services and taught a class of hoys, and in the evening leads the hearty choral Evensong. A successful Y. P. E. is carried on. Once a month, also on high festivals of the. Church, the Rev. J. Lamb Doty comes to St. M ary’s at 7 a. m. for Holy Com­munion ; and Dr. Brown of St. Clement’s comes for baptisms and special occasions. Captain Roberts, Church Army, has given an address once a month at Evensong. There have been 350 baptisms and 181 persons confirmed at St. Mary’s since the Mission started in 1902.

A year ago the decision had to be

made whether or not St. M ary’s should secure the adjoining vacant lot which was greatly needed by Mission and Home. Japanese Buddhists wished to buy it to erect a Temple, and a Japanese contractor wanted it for a Japanese camp. Bishop Littell was most desirous that St. Mary’s should have the lot, and raised most of the purchase price himself. At his request the Diocesan Board of Directors advanced the remaining $3500.00 with the under­standing that St. Mary’s return this amount in two years. A committee of St. M ary’s members was formed and by canvassing among friends for donations, by a benefit bridge party, and recently by a luau which netted $246.00, the debt has

M is s H e le n Seu

4 H A W A I I A N C H U R C H C H R O N I C L E January, 1943

been reduced to $1531.95, which has to be raised during the corning year.

This is a large debt for a small Mission to bear, but the members intend to carry on to the best of their ability continuing to hope that some day St. M ary’s will be provided with a resident Priest.

For years, a Kindergarten has been an imi>ortant feature of the work, with the reputation of being second to no Kinder­garten in the Territory for effective work and play. At present there are 35 children, with Miss Helen Seu, in charge. Miss Seu is a graduate of the University of Hawaii and of St. Margaret’s, the dio­cesan training school of California, at Berkeley.

S t. M a r y ’s H o m e fo r C h ild r e nThis is really a home, with the at­

mosphere and characteristics of a Chris­tian family. The staff consists of Miss Hilda Van Deerlin, the Superintendent, and her sister Miss Margaret Van Deer­lin, who have devoted many years of most efficient and effective service to St. Mary’s ; Miss Helen Seu and Miss Shizue Matsumoto. They care for 38 resident children.

The Home started in 1918, when three little girls were received into the Mission house. - Since that time 183 boys and girls of nine nationalities have received the benefits of a happy home. Although many races are represented in our children, half of the number in the Home have al­ways been of Hawaiian ancestry.

St. M ary’s is affiliated with the Hono­lulu Council of Social Agencies. The children are admitted only through the Children’s Service Association and the Department of Social Security. The United Welfare Fund contributes about forty-five per cent of the support of the Home, the salaries of the staff come from the Church Missions House in New York, and the balance of the budget is made up of money paid by relatives, Church friends and the Department of Social Se­curity which pays for the care of children it places in tbe Home.

The home is attractive in appearance with flowering shade trees and a large playground containing a sand box, jungle gym, swings, and bars for the enjoyment of the children, and with basketball and volleyball for the older ones.

The nursery, dormitories, bedrooms for the older boys and girls, sitting rooms and dining room are all bright, airy and color­ful.

Girls learn cooking, sewing, and laundry work under supervision and re­main in the Home until they are able to earn a living and take their places in the community. Some of the children have lived at St. M ary’s since babyhood and know no other borne. When the time comes for the girls to marry, they return naturally to be married in St. Mary’s Church which adjoins the Home, and when their little ones arrive the mothers proudly bring them to St. Mary’s for baptism.

The children form a Junior and Senior Choir in St. M ary’s Church, and gather in the church every evening for a short service, and attend Sunday School. The girls belong to the Girls’ Friendly Society, and some are Girl Scouts and Girl Re­serves. The boys are Cub Scouts.

T e d d yTeddy came to live at St. Mary’s when

he was only twelve days old. After the first few weeks had past the older girls were allowed to be “mother” to Teddy, a month at a time, so that they might have the experience of caring for a young baby, making his food formulas, feeding, bath­ing, keeping his time schedule, and all things pertaining to the proper care of a baby.

Fifteen years ago a young mother, belonging to St. Luke’s Korean Mission, died and left three little children, the youngest only seven months old. Their father wished them to be brought up in a Christian home so the Korean priest

“READY FOR CHURCH”GRACEFUL HULA DANCERS

brought them to St. M ary’s. Carol is now eighteen years old and after she graduated from High School she left St. Mary’s to make a home for her father who is very ЬаРРУ' a^ er so many lonely years, to have bis three children with him again. Carol showed decided talent in music and during her last three years at St. Mary’s she played the organ for church services.

After Carol left, Vivian became the organist. She was three years old and her sister two when they lost their mother and came to Ire “mothered” at the Home.

We relate two more stories of how St. Mary's has shared in Community welfare work.

A white man came one evening with two very attractive little children. He said that his wife had left him and he begged to he allowed to leave the children at least for the night. He promised to return the next morning but he never came back and the children were finally made wards of the Court. They came for one night and stayed for six years.

A college romance ended in disaster. The young man brought his wife and baby back to his home in Honolulu. Two years after the second child was born the father disappeared. The pretty little mother brought the two children to St. Mary’s that she might work to earn a living. On Christmas morning she came to see her children for a short time and they never saw her again. A letter came from her bearing a mainland postmark. An answer was returned unclaimed. Fortun­

ately these children, deserted by both ; parents at the tender ages of two and four

V IV IA N

had relatives who undertook their finan­cial support.

There is no infirmary in the Home. During the twenty-one years of its exis­tence, sick children have been removed from the dormitories to Miss Margaret Van Deerlin's room and cared for there by her until they recover or it becomes apparent that hospital care is necessary. Obviously this arrangement should not continue. It is the hope of the Diocese that funds may be provided to build an infirmary.

A benefit luau and Hawaiian entertain­ment was given by St. Mary’s on Decem­ber 9th on the new lot bought, but not yet completely paid for, adjoining the Mission grounds. The feast was largely attended and included many guests from the mainland who were enjoying their first Hawaiian luau. The occasion earned $246 for the land purchase fund. More than that, it brought many visitors to St. M ary’s, who enjoyed the opportunity to see the Home in operation, and the beautiful Chapel and grounds.

The general chairmen of the affair were Anne Liu and John Ito. Don M. Hirai arranged for the entertainment, which included singing, hula dancing, and instrumental music by boys from the Sea Scout Ship Lanakila. Great credit is due to other chairmen, who w ere: Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Soong, food; Miss Hilda Van Deerlin, guests; Len Shin Liu, tables ; Eugene Kawakami, tickets; David Kam, decorations; Miss Y. K. Chung, serving; Miss Florence Gillespie, pub­licity; and Miss Helen Sen, correspond­ence.

They were discussing Robinson Crusoe in a college course on the English novel.

The professor said, “This ‘desert island’ device fascinates the imagination. Sup­pose this class were cast on a desert island —or into prison!—and that we could have but one book. W hat would you choose ?”

The professor went on, “It is very harsh to have but one book. I have thought much about this. It may astonish you, but I would choose the Book of Common Prayer.

“Cut off as we would be, our use of this book would link us to a worshipping fellowship which lay beyond any reach but that of prayer. Each of us could use it to guide our private devotions. Seven- eighths of it being Scripture, we would have the gist of the Bible. I wonder if we could not fill missing parts of the Prophets and Gospels from memory? I

look upon the Prayer Book as the Bible acted out in worship and service—the Bible not cut off at the 1st century but illuminated with the God-experience of all succeeding generations.”—Forward, Day by Day.

Extracts From Our Dailies1 . H a s I t C o m e to T h is ? A n “ In t e r ­

r u p t io n ” !“Thousands of Honolulans will inter­

rupt their gay three-day celebration of Christmas this morning and again tonight to pay reverent homage to the Christ Child in the city’s churches of all denomi­nations.”—December 24, 1939.

2 . “ H a l f - M in u t e H a w a i ia n a ”“Christmas as a public holiday is re­

latively a new idea to the people of H a­waii. Although Hawaii has been ac­quainted with western civilization for more than 160 years, it is less than 80 years since Christmas received official recognition in the islands. It was not until 1862, with the advent of the Anglican Church to Hawaii, that Christmas was publicly celebrated in the islands, when by order of Kamehameha IV it was pro­claimed as a national holiday and all government offices ordered closed.”—■ December 25, 1939 (Donald Billam- W alker).

3 . “ C h r is tm a s in H a w a i i”“In few places on this changing,

troubled globe are there such genuine peace of mind and such wellbeing of body as one finds today in Hawaii.

It is a mingling of the happiest char­acteristics of many races, traits and tradi­tions.

It combines the friendly hospitality and cheerful affability innate in the Poly­nesian with the strong religious fervor and the deep regard for orderly living brought by the missionary; it has some­thing of the picturesque gaiety or oriental customs and something of the hail-fellow- well-met joviality of the Occident.

Here in Hawaii we have racial peace, political peace and industrial peace. These have been achieved not by the iron fiat of a dictator or the swaggering dominance of an agitator, but by the spirit of mutual regard for the rights and feelings of others.

It is a lesson in human relationships and progress which should never be for­gotten in these days of vicious and insidi­ous attempts to stir up strife, suspicion and class hatred.

Hawaii is at peace within itself—and as an orderly and friendly community, is wholesomely happy.”— Dec. 27, 1939.

4 . P h y s ic a l R e s e m b la n c e s o f H a w a i i to th e H o ly L a n d

“Christmas in warm latitudes brings the atmosphere of the Judean day when

the shepherds watched their flocks in the open air and where the eyes of The New­born Child opened upon a land offspring grasses and drowsing palms. It is easier in Hawaii or in Southern California—■ where the physical resemblances to the Holy Land are surprisingly close—to imagine what the first Christmas was like than it is in any northern clime. There was 110 snow in Judea on that December night nearly 1900 years ago save upon the mountain peaks. The rains had come refreshing the tops of the date trees, bringing out the yellow blossoms of the mustard plant, making the rills musical and carpeting the land with verdure.”— Editorial in the Honolulu Advertiser, December 25, 1899.

Whether it was the perfect weather, the full moon, or just an increase of ordinary devotional religion, St. Clement’s, the vine-covered little Church on Wilder Avenue in Honolulu, found it necessary to use at least fifty chairs which were placed on the porches, and on the lawn to accomodate the attendance at the mid­night service Christmas Eve. The number of communicants far outnumbered the

seating capacity of the building. The other services were especially well at­tended also.

The children gave a fine performance in the pageant at the time of the much- beloved Manger Service, filling the Manger with 147 presents which are destined to give happiness to small chil­dren throughout the year under the care­ful ministrations of Sister Deborah as she visits the hospitals.

None of our younger missions shows greater zeal and more promise of develop­ment than St. Stephen’s at Haleiwa in the Waialua District, 40 miles across the island from Honolulu. The room which serves as a Chapel has been completely renovated, and is appropriate and churchly in its appearance. It accomodates about 40 per­sons. Fortunately the Mission has free use of the Community Hall next door, by the courtesy of the directors. Three classes are taught in that building each Sunday. For all practical purposes, the Hall is like a Parish House for the Mis­sion.

On St. Stephen’s Day, the congregation met for the observance of its patronal festival, according to its usual custom. The Bishop and half a dozen friends

from Honolulu went out for the occasion. After a confirmation service, the con­gregation moved over into the Hall for supper. Following that, the Church School children came for the Christmas tree party. The singing of many Christ­mas carols was very hearty and showed careful training. The Mission is in charge of the Rev. J. Lamb Doty, who, while living in the city, still is giving willing and acceptable, though necessarily limited, service as non-resident vicar.

Bishop Littell arrived in Kona in the early hours of the morning having boarded the steamer in the middle of the night at Mahukona. He was met at Kailua by the Rev. Kenneth O. Miller who brought him to Christ Church Vicarage for break­fast. After a busy morning he lunched with Miss Nancy Wallace, whose house guest he was to be during his brief visit. After dinner at the Vicarage the Bishop prepared for the Confirmation Service held in Christ Church at 7 :30 P. M. Four candidates were presented by the Vicar: Mrs. Nell Magee, Charlotte Ann Miller, David K. Roy and James D. Ackerman. After the service in Church an informal reception was held at the Vicarage to give members of the com­munity a chance of a friendly chat with the Bishop who had to leave for Waimea early next morning.

By Mrs. R. V. Woods On the third Sunday in Advent, Decem­

ber 17th, 1939, a Pageant combining the Christmas and Epiphany stories was pre­sented by adults, for the first time in the history of Christ Church, Kona, under the management of the Vicar and Mrs. Kenneth O. Miller at 7 :30 p. m.

The part of Zacharias was taken by llr- Falconer, the three Kings were rep­

resented by Mr. Ernest da Silva, who Presented .the gold offering, Mr. Lowel Magee, the incense and Mr. David K. Roy, the myrrh. All these sang their Parts as they walked up the aisle of the Church to the Nativity group in the Chancel. Mrs. Primrose Yates represented the Virgin Mary; Mr. F. J. Cushingham, Joseph; Mr. Sherwood Greenwell, the •Cngel Gabriel; Mr. Bobbie Pahau, an­ther Angel, while those acting as the “hepherds w ere: Messrs. Richardson, Jack Greenwell and Robert Greenwell. *he children’s choir as the Heavenly Most sang the chorus of “Glory to God 'jt the Highest”, while the adult choir at

back of the Church greatly aided the SllJging of the hymns.

Che closing scene was beautiful and

impressive as the whole company of per­formers backed by the junior choir stood in reverence before the Altar, beautiful with flowers and many lighted candles, while the Rev. Kenneth O. M"iller gave the Benediction.

The Church was well filled as many members of the Central Kona Church joined with the congregation of Christ Church.

Mrs. Skinner of Konawaena headed a party of ladies who helped Mrs. Miller with the costuming of the performers and Mrs. Mabel Trooien was at the organ for hours rehearsing with the singers and accompanying the whole service. Between the rehearsal which began at 2 :30 on Sunday afternoon and the performance at 7 :30 P. M. the ladies of the Parish provided a meal for all at the Vicarage. The children were served with milk and sandwiches on the veranda under the care of Mrs. Magee and were heard after­wards triumphantly proclaiming “we ate seven plates of sandwiches.”

David K. Roy Junior and Arnold Richardson assisted the Vicar with the stage management.

Chapel at All Saints’ Church, Kapaa, Kauai, was dedicated on Sunday, Novem­ber 12. A fter a brief service held in the church proper, consisting of the creed, the Lord’s Prayer, collect for the day and prayers for the children of the church schools of All Saints’, for the church school teachers and for the donors of the building, short addresses were made by Mrs. Dora Isenberg, Mrs. Joseph Gerdes and Archdeacon Willey.

Mrs. Isenberg recounted in a most charming way many happy memories of Sisters Beatrice and Albertina and of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Sloggett in whose memories the three class rooms which form the nave of the chapel had been given. Mrs. Gerdes read a paper pre­pared by her father, Mr. J. H. Coney, who was unable to be present. Mr. Coney’s paper contained many most interesting recollections of Mr. David K. Hayselden, in whose memory the bell tower had been erected, and of Capt. James Makee and Queen Emma, each of whom were re­membered in bays of the porch. Arch­deacon Willey spoke briefly of the work of the Rev. Marcus E. Carver whose labors on Kauai had made the coming of All Saints’ Church possible, and as a thank offering for whose ministry the other bay of the porch had been built; of Bishop LaMothe, in whose episcopate All Saints’ had been organized and who is remembered in the sanctuary of the chapel, and of the Rev. Thurston R. Hinckley, sometime honorary assistant at All Saints’ and in whose memory his many, friends had placed the memorial window in the sanctuary.

Both senior and junior choirs were in procession. As an offerory anthem, “Accept Our Thanks’’, (theme from Fin­landia), by Jean Sibelius was sung. Im ­mediately after the presentation of the offering, choir, clergy and congregation marched in procession to the bell tower, along the bays of the porch, and from the front entrance through the three rooms which form the nave. Each of these seven units was in turn dedicated and an appropriate prayer offered for the person memorialized. Then followed the bless­ing of the sanctuary, altar and window. The large congregation that had gathered to do honor to those in whose memory the building had been erected filled theK~ -a

Under the heading of “Gifts Received”, Mrs. Gwendoline Shaw, superintendent of the Shingle Memorial' Hospital on Molokai, ends a considerable list of dona­tions (chiefly fruits and vegetables from local friends on the island) with this most important item. The County has connected up the new thoroughfare across the island some half a mile or more, to the hospital grounds, and now has con­structed a driveway up to the hospital buildings. We are grateful for this pub­lic recognition of the services rendered to Molokai by the hospital.M a in la n d p a rish e s ass is t th e H o s p ita l

One of the late instances of increased interest which Church people all over the mainland are taking in this Church Hos­pital comes from Grace Church, West­wood, New Jersey. We have mentioned before the thirty or more parishes and missions in the diocese of Kansas and the twenty in Massachusetts, as well as other places, which have sent gifts in money or equipment to the Hospital. A letter to Mrs. Shaw from the superin­tendent of the Church School, Westwood, Mr. J. C. Cook, indicates the spirit in which children on the mainland are help­ing, and the appreciation on their part of an opportunity to do so.

“Last week I wrote to our Diocesan Christmas Box Secretary for twenty-five Indians for Grace Church School—if she had any left. So yesterday I received your twenty-five little Hawaiians. This morning I read Mrs. Easton Shaw’s letter and yours to our children, and we have

Seriously, I have never received any thing as helpful іц making such a project real and vivid to older children (10 up) as your two let­ters. They appreciate sincerity and humor and people. They like you and the Mrs. Shaw in Madison and they are going to help you throw a Christmas Party in not-so-far-off Molokai. Our assignment is for gifts for 25 children.

Our Sunday School has about 125 en­rolled, and about 70 of them are helping you now. We also have a Manger Service on Christmas Day to which all the chil­dren bring gifts up to the manger for the children in the mountain district of our Diocese. I imagine you are quite familiar with this service. If you could only see the expression of smug virtue upon the faces of my little congregation at such a service you would know how much they appreciate the opportunity to help.”

After long and patient waiting, the parish house at St. Augustine’s has been built and dedicated. On December 12th the B i s h o p , assisted by Archdeacon Walker, dedicated the n e w building, which is located on the church grounds adjoining the rectory. The accompanying pictures do not show the lower story of the parish house, in which the Archdea­con has a commodious office and other rooms.

The greater part of the upper floor consists of a hall so arranged that it may be used as a platform or stage for large audiences seated out of doors in a kind of natural amphitheater. Large sliding doors make it possible to open the side of the building for this purpose. The Hall has- been made possible by gifts from mainland branches of the Girls’ Friendly Society which have contributed more

than half of the $4,000 cost. Over a peri­od of years, local organizations and in­dividuals have been building up the or­

iginal G.F.S. gift until the building could be erected. About $400 is needed still to complete the cost of furnishings. A num­ber of Kohala societies and clubs, includ­ing the Masonic Order, as well as the Church School and other parish activities will use the new building regularly. It is particularly well adapted for commun­ity uses, both by location and by archi­tectural plan.

On the day of dedication, the new Hall was open for inspection throughout the afternoon and evening. Members of St. Augustine's Guild assisted the hostesses, who were: Mrs, Charles W. Vannatta in the afternoon, and Mrs. G. Leslie Han­nah in the evening. We rejoice in the completion of this parish house, which has been so long needed in that part of Archdeacon W alker’s widespread rural work which centers at Kohala.

and amusing account of certain experi­ences of his recent trip around the world. The occasion was valuable ltot only for its social meaning, but also as a corporate recognition on the part of our Bishop and clergy of the chaplains on land and sea serving so effectively the personnel of the Army and Navy in Hawaii.

C o n f ir m a t io n s a n d E a r th q u a k e sFor 1939, the total number of persons

confirmed in the diocese was 274. This is 48 more than the number in the pre­vious year, which was 226. During the eight days from December 10th to 17th, the Bishop confirmed classes in six mis­sions : Good Samaritan and St. M ark’s, Honolulu and four on the Big Island, St. Paul’s at Makapala, St. Augustine’s' at Kohala, Christ Church in Kona, and the Church of the Holy Apostles in Hilo.

A strange experience at St. Paul’s during the actual confirmation service, and repeated the next n i g h t at St. Augustine’s while confirmation was tak­ing place, was the perceptible shaking of the Church buildings, accompanied in one instance by distant rumbling. Those who were present could not fail to he remind­ed of the phenomena which occurred on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was bestowed upon the Church, on its first birthday.

service of Evensong which Canon Wal­lace carried on monthly for many years at Waiohinu on the island of Hawaii has been resumed, and will be conducted by the Rev. Shannon Walker. Mr. Walker from his new location in Hilo will visit the Kau district regularly. He will alter­nate between Waiohinu and Pahala, as he finds a considerable number of per­sons in each place who desire the prayer- book service of Evensong. He is able to borrow local church buildings, and feels greatly encouraged by the response in both places. ; _____W H Y W O R R Y ? T H IS IS O N L Y 1 9 4 0

M Y S T IC S

By the Rev. Frederick W ard Kates in The Living Church

“By mystics I mean simply people who try to see God for themselves, face to face.”— W inifred Kirkland.

A German mystic of several centuries ago, Jacob Boehme, said, "Open your eyes, and the whole world is full of God.” The mystics of all ages are simply those per­sons who obey his injunction. Mystics are just people who are aware with Eliza­beth Barrett Browning that "E arth’s crammed with heaven.And every common bush afire with G od: But only he who sees takes off his shoes.”

Mystics really aren’t of necessity strange, curious, unbalanced folk; they are simply persons who are concerned, above all else, with what is divine in life. Their thoughts are engrossed with the manifold mysteries of life. They are be­set with the realization of "what an astonishing thing it is, merely to live.”

The mystic is one who realizes better than other men the vast significance, in life and in art, of the element of mystery. He knows full well that “there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of” in our cocksure little philoso­phies. He is entranced by the simple, magic mysteries of ordinary, everyday life —the sort of life we know. He is aware how unsearchable is the darkness out of which we have but just stepped and how luminous is the life into which we shall shortly pass. And he feels, in the present hour, some of that deep darkness and also some of the radiant light of the future. The past and the present, what has been and what is yet to come, alike comprise integral elements of the immediate hour for him.

And the mystic is one who seeks to interpret the secret of the expressive silences. Silent minutes brim over with eloquent messages, for him. Mystics make their richest discoveries in silence, in the hushed twilight hours of the soul. And so when we hear the mystic speak we are listening to the voice of silence.

the mystic of all men is closest to the very heart of life itself. “The wind and silence, God’s eldest born”, are known of him, are full of words and sounds and meanings to him. God’s voice to him is “wind among still woods.”

The true mystic is the humblest of men. He is as a child who resigns himself to the guidance of an unseen hand, the hand of one walking by his side. He demands no authority for the unseen hand whose fingers he feels upon his shoulders. The mystic, like ourselves, often feels himself close to God, indeed almost touching the source of our life and being, the source of all life and all being.

“Speak to Him, thou, for He heareth, And Spirit with spirit can meet— Closer is He than breathing,And nearer than hands and feet.”

Stuart Knox an English layman for the past forty-five years has aided the growth of the Church of England Mis­sions to Seamen, a society with ninety seaport stations around the world doing work somewhat like that of the American Seamen’s Church Institute. Mr. Knox’s vision and his leadership were largely responsible for the growth of the society from a small local work to its present wide activity spreading across all the seas of the world. He died recently and quite suddenly, as he stood at the lectern read­ing the lesson in a church service. The lesson was from the Revelation and his last words were, “I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters.”

\Ve print herewith the official state­ment and analysis of the Territory’s population for the year ending June 30th.

8 0 P er C e n t' C it iz e n sMost important point in the report was

that more than 80 per cent of the total population is now comprised of American citizens. This figure has never been equaled at any time since annexation of Hawaii. O f the 80,334 persons in the general category of aliens, it was pointed out that 35,481 are non-citizen Filipinos, technically classified as nationals. Deduct­ing these from the entire alien group would leave a net total of 44,853 aliens.

C a u c a s ia n s G a in M o s t Since the 1930 federal census the popu­

lation of the Territory has increased bin 368,336 to 414,991, or 12.67 per cent. In this period Caucasian population has made the greatest gain with a total increase of 27,008; the Japanese group has been second with 15,411; the H a­waiian and part-Hawaiian group third with 12,998; the Chinese fourth with 1,422; the Korean fifth with 277, and “all others” sixth with 161. Over this same period the Filipino group has shown anet reduction of 10,622 individuals from 61,052 in 1930 to 52,430 as of June 30, representing almost entirely Filipinos who returned to their native islands.

F e w e r A lie n s The decrease of 2,966 in the number

of alien residents during the year con­sisted mainly of reductions in the numbers of alien residents of Oriental birth, in­eligible to American citizenship by natural­ization. The number of Japanese aliens decreased from 36,955 to 35,681, or by 1274; that of Chinese aliens from 4,283 to 4,028 or by 255 while that of the Korean group fell from 2,352 to 2,276. Most of these represented deaths.

Intelligent .Churchmen, in order to act and cooperate intelligently find reading certain periodicals an absolute necessity. To know what is going on in the Parish we should all read our parish paper. . . . To understand what is going on in the Diocese, we should subscribe to the dio­cesan paper. . . . We should also know what is going on in the National Church. The Spirit o f Missions, published month­ly, may be secured for only $1 a year, from 281 Fourth Avenue, New York City. . . . Intelligent Churchmen are effective leaders because they read! read! read !— The Rev. F. C. Benson Beilis, St. Paul’s Church, Chicano.

A good housekeeper usually dislikes dried flowers, for they are nothing but dust-catchers, cluttering up the house. There is no beauty to them and they find their way to the rubbish-can, in short order.

Every Parish has its dried flowers, people with all the life and color gone out of them, Episcopalian dust-catchers. As Churches have no rubbish-cans for dried souls, Rectors are obliged to put up with them. They say that there is a use for everything in Nature. Perhaps the Lord has some use for dead-on-their-feet Christians.— The Churchmouse, in “The Witness”.

* -------Some things are eternal and cannot be

changed, no matter how much we may wish to. There is such a thing as authentic wisdom—let no one tell you there is not. There is a body of tested results of experience, which constitutes the accumulated wisdom of the race.— Mark Sullivan.К----------------------------------------------------Я

Out- of Control“That singer has his voice well under

control.”“I cannot agree—every time anybody

asks him, he sings.”

A MiracleConjurer: “Now, sir, you hear your

watch ticking inside this handkerchief. Are you satisfied?”

Spectator: “I ’m more than satisfied,I ’m amazed; that watch I gave you hasn’t gone for six months.”

Only Man Can SmileNothing on earth can smile but man.

Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash compared to an eye- flash and a mirth-flash? Flowers can-t not smile—this is a charm that even they cannot claim. It is the prerogative of m an; it is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy—these three. It is a light in the window of a face, by whichthe heart signifies that it is at home andwaiting. A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom and dries upon the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night and a smile is the twilight that hovers between both—more bewitching than either— Henry Ward Beecher.

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who is half Italian and half Jewish by birth, a typical New Yorker of the newer sort, is a devout Anglican communicant and a regular attendant at the Cathedral.
