T-ie regular monthly me-eiing of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society was held Saturday evening at the home of Mr. J. B. Atherton. There were about fifty present. The meeting was opened with singing, and a prayer by I lev. S. K. Bishop. A solo by Miss Hyde was beautifully rendered. Jlev. S. E. Bishop gave rerainiscenes cf a trip from Waimea to Kailua in lSCtl. The start was made in March. The children were carried by the na tives. Natives al?.o carried the fcod and 'luggage. They were paid in fish hooks, twine, knives and other us-eful things. A dozen natives could be hired for about 75 cents a day. Tae method of s:arting a fire by means of rubbing sticks together was very interesting. The natives would take a piece of dry hau wood and mike a narrow groove in it. Then taking another sharp piece of hard wood they would rub it back and forth in this groove. A fine dust would be formed, which af;er vigorous rub bing would begin to smolder and then break into a flame from which they would kindle the fire. They passed by many small settlements of the natives. Often services were held. They also went to the crater cf Kilauea. In many respects it is now very similar to What it was then. Miss McDonald spoke of the 'life of Ruskin. She spoke of the change that had taken place in the world. In for mer times people thought that 'the world sJhould serve them rather than that they should serve the worf'd. Now men seek to serve their fellow men. The spirit of Christ has brought about this change. We find the spirit in Which Christ said: "I came not to be ministered unto, but to minister," has so come down the ages that the world has caught the spirit of Christ. To be of service to the world rather than to have the world serve them is coming to be 'the spirit of the age. (Most people admire Ruskin as a writer rathen than a philanthropist. Two years ago, Miss McDonald listen ed to a sermon on Ruskin. The thoughts so impressed her that she be gan to study him. She then said she would like to give a few things of in terest in the life of John Ruskin as a great missionary for he was great in this capacity. He was born in 1S19 in London. His father was a man of wealth and influence. He was well educated. He was as well a great Bible student. It is well to remember that his wonderful literary sfyle and lite rary ability is due to a great extent to his knowledge cf the Bible. His works rank second to none In this country. Ruskin inherited from his father about one million dollars. He received over a half a million of dollars from the sale of his works. They are bring ing in continually a large fum which he made n trust fund for helpless peo ple. He first determined to give one tenth of his fortune to charity. He snid after a short time that this was not sufficient, and he gave one-half. He bought works of art and had them put in the city schools. He was the workingman's friend. In 1S77, he had given away all he had un to $2:"0.000. Soon after he gave all his fortune away except enough to bring him in 1,500 a year. All his works of art he gave to the Sheffield museum, that students might go there and copy beautiful models. Ruskin refused a life of ele gance and luxury to give his time and money to poor people. His interest and sympathies have always bren giv en to poor people. He saj's there are five ways of spending life: First, for yourself; second, fcr others; third, in exhibition or display; fourth, to spend it for destruction; fifth, to spend it as a 'bequest. Ruskin took up the defense of Mr. Turner the great landscape painter. He was at first ridiculed by the people. Ruskin said the people must have ex pression of sympathy. He w?s the founder of art exhibits. By hb; influ ence he has been able to borrow the best paintings and works of art from the homes of the wealthy, so that they might be seen by the poor. Mr. Love then rendered very beauti fully a violin solo, Miss L.ove accom panying with piano. A letter from Will Castle waa read, giving a few college experiences. The meeting closed with a hymn. Marry Hinc (iathcriiii; in Honor of Miss Kowcna I)owctt. A party to Miss Rowena Dowsett was given at lur home in Kapa.ama Friday night in celebration of the completion of another year of her life. The young lady was most happy upon the arr.val of about 150 gue:ts who enjoyed to the full the excellent ent?rtainnv ni plan ned for them. There was not a single flaw in the happy proceedings. The house was prett ly decorated an l nicely arranged. The large dining hall with its o'.Ied floor had on the wall one mass of flowers and here it was that, most of the dancers chose to go. The two parlors just opposite, were decorat ed in the same manner as the dining hall and the floors covered with canvas for dancing. Between the.-e was sta tioned the quintette club g.ving music for both sides, while over in the Ewa corner, was an attractive booth sur rounded with palms 'and Hawaiian flags, where refreshments were served. All about on the verandas were com fortable chairs for thp guests. Miss Diwsett received the heany congratulations of all.
