"In the caso of Jacob in our text it
was clearly lovo at first sight. Saban
had two daughters, Leah and Rachel.
Jacob noticed that Leah was a pleasant
girl and had tender eyes, bn somehow
Rachel impicssed him as being far more
beautiful and attractive.
"So Jacob fell madly in love. I can
imagine him saying to himself, 'She
certainly is a most charming girl. I
never saw such wondrous beauty in any
woman. I must have her for my wife.

"Thus Jacob reasoned and untold
multitudes of men havo followed in
unhappy ones. A lack ot mental, physical,

marriage is always deplorable. Such a
lack often leads to matrimonial disaster
within a few years.
"Some, fellows imagine that if they
do not get married quickly thoy run

ought to be thankful to havo somo

tho whole framo work pulled down. Tho
old Bugar houso will bo converted into

Tho improvements will placo Kohnla

to its mechanical equipment have
not been largo, tho largo amount of

Tho building just destroyed was orcctod

BAR POLITICS AT

arid pedestrians poured all day, for

nnd fllo of tho party gathered to feast
in celebration of tho victory.
Flngs flew from every houso iu the

Particular attention was called ta
tho neglect of by tho Republican
administration. The speakers
pointed to two lonely tnnks
erected on a nearby hill shortly before
tho election with a view of impressing
tho voters of the district with the idea
that they would shortly have city
water.
Attention was called to the fact
thai work on the water system stopped
immediately after tho election, when
tho valley went Democratic. The poor
condition of the roads also rpcoived
prominent mention and 'as I'aeheeo, a
resident of tho district, will have a

ho is expected to do much for the

Bishop Restarick Writes of the
Splendid Work Done By
Them in Honolulu.
Editor Tho Advertiser: I ask for
spaco to answer a letter appearing In
Tho Advertiser, l)cceinber S, signed
"A Mother." In tho tint placo she
asks tho question, why girls committed
to the industrial school should lio allowed
to go to work In the hoinei of approved
families. Mr. Cathcart, the
prosecuting attorney in tho McCorriston
trial, stnted tho caso admirably. Ho
spoke ns follows:
" tho Girls' Industrial School a
large numhor of young girls, as they
grow to more maturity, or as their
physical strength develops, it is necessary
that they cam their living, and
that Is done by securing places in families.
They nro nllowed out to vrork
in these families as servants, and they
nro still, so to spoak, wards of tho Ter
ritory. It would be impossible, or u
not impossible it would bo very detrimental
to retain in thoso schools tho
girls until they reach the age of eighteen
when In physical strength nnd maturity
they are able to earn their own
living.
"When tlieso girls go out as servants
in this way they should bo
from molestation. They should
bo just as free from all tho attentions
of men ns though thoy had remained
in tho school. That can only
bo nossible bv it helnir understood
generally throughout tho community
nnd imiiiahinent innv be meted to him
in proportion to his offense. Vlicn
this is uudorstood distinctly throughout
the community those girls who, ns
nroncr houiiiL' of the tenement dweller
nnd tho poor people, we would hear loss
of tho criino of rape, and theio would
bo no occasion for a, sermon at Central
Union Church on 'The Bitter Cry of
the Children'."
We arc glad thnt "Mother" is interested
in tho tenement question, but wo
wish sho hnd made herself acquainted
with fnctB concerning tho giving to
missions both hero and in the
country nt largo.
the paragraph qu
I'lnns. Tho bill for ehowinjr Rum is
$n,00(tiOO; for soft drinks,
for confectionary, $200,000,000;
for jewelry, 4.800,000,000; for tobacco,
$1,200,000,000. Why not suggest that
a half of theso sums bo saved to bo
spent on tho amelioration of tho poor.
it.., ti)finnnnnl nnA n . .1.

spends far morn thnn that in trying to
copo with conditions and lo remedy
them, but tho misornblo little 1
which Is sent to enrry hopa to
men, a sense of protection to woman-hood
nnd to uplift children, this littlo
sum is begrudged. Nationally, $12,-000,000
would bo n drop in tho bucket
nnd tho half of it (suggested liy "A
Mother"), would bo half n drop.
It should bo remembered also that
the money sent out of tho country for
foreign missions is returned, m.inyfold,
in an inereiising ratio by tho foreign
trade which is nlwnys oponod np where
missionaries go. Such trade was opened
up In Contrnl Africa by Livingstone
nnd in many other places by tho hnroes
of tho Cross.
""" What "Half" Would Mean.
But how much did Honolulu gjvo Uat
year through tho regularly appointed
boards for foreign nusslonsl Tho Hawaiian
board reports, not for Honolulu
nlono, but for all tho Islands, $980.50
for foreign missions. Tho Episcopal
Church sent to tho board in Now York,
f13S0. but as hnlf of this goes to domestic
missions, wo can count only $G00 for
forclmi missions. Now. say thnt tho
Methodist and Christian churrhrs of
this city gnvo $500, which T bellaro is
moro than wna actually givon, this
will glvo n total of $2170.50. Now, a
half of that would build ono eottago of
five rooms for somo working man.
