FIELD IS PRESENTED HERE Opportunity and Responsibility. Reports Various National ities Finances. The annual meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific was held yesterday. As usual there was a large attendance. There were many gratifying reports of work done, and helpful suggestions for the coming year. The history of the twelve months past has been one of earn est purpose, hard work, and real suc cess. Some points brought out by those who reported for the various branches of work are worth remembering. Miss Mary Greene speaking of the Hawai ian Bible Reader's work told of an increase of i cleanliness in the homes visited, but especially pleasing were her remarks concerning the effect of the work upon the Hawaiian women who accompany her in her daily visits. They have learned, she says, lessons which make them really executive in the work, and better than all express the thought that in service is the only true life. Mrs. Damon made a strong appeal for a woman helper in the Chinese Mission Work. That work goes on very successfully but those most in terested know that there is an un measured field of usefulness for some woman who wilJ devote her life to the Chinese. women in this city. An interesting item of Mrs. Gulick's report told of the increased attend ance of women at the religious meet ings held for the Japanese here in Ho nolulu; on the other hand it is rather startling to hear that during the past year the number of Buddhist priests in the eity has greatly increased. They will constitute an unexpected and new obstacle to Avork f qt Japanese here. The Portuguese work is progressing finely. Miss Fernandez said that oiten when she goes into The homes of her people she is met with the question, "Have you brought the little Book?" So eager are evtn Those who do not profess "Protestantism for the Word which has been denied them. Daring thfc morning the Society voted to send to the Legislature a memorial against legislation favorable to opium traffic. The treasurer's repcxt showed that $1.1.04.07. had been collected dining the year for the regular work, of which $281.64 is carri-ed over to the new year. In addition to this, about $600 has bsen sent to the Armenian sufferers. The recess and lunch were delight in 1 features of the meeting; while the afternoon session was especially agree able. A chorus of girls from Kameha meha, with Miss Clymer as leader, rendered a delightful number. None who heard it can forget Miss Hyde's sweet solo -The King of Love My Shepherd is." The inspiration of the -meeting came largely from the address of the President Mrs. Hyde. In the dpvr.Tinn.nl fVPffisM With Which Site oneri-ed the mc: Hycte had ernphasizea the thought of making every condition and circum stance of life a service for the Master and gave a-s a watch word for the coming yeai- the text "Such as I have I give Thee' In h:-r annual address the president said in part: "When did missionary workers ever have a greater or broader field immediately around them, than is presented to us? Are we called to Foreign Mission .work? Here it opens before us among the thousands from China and Japan. Is it Home Missions in which we are specially interested? Here we are sur rounded by those who know of Christ and His Salvation, but who care for none of these things. Is it philanthro pic and educational work that enlists our sympathies? Look at the poor and isrnorant on every hand. It lias been well said that 'Every gift oi Provi dence to us. is an opportunity and therefore a responsibility; and the. blessing does not come with the gift until we recognize the responsibility and use the opportunity. If we want the character that comes from unsel fish living.' we must live unselfishly.' We cmnot have results without pro- cesses. If we want spiritual loveli ness we must possess the lovely spirit.' We cannot 'of ourselves, in our own strength do away with the sin aud suffering of the world; but we can by unwearied labor and never ceasing effort do much to alleviate the suffer ing and lessen the wrong doing. We must be ready to respond to every call for help, every cry of need, however humble. We must see as did Christ. in every ruined nature something that is worthy o our love and effort.

The first view of the contributions to the spring exhibition of the Kilo hana Art League was given the mem- i bers and their friends in the league hall last night. The reception commit- j tee consisted of Mrs. ,S. B. Dole, Mrs. Bruce Cartwright, Mrs. F. A. Schaefer and Mrs. Widdifield. Particular attention was paid to the work of decorating the hall and stage and the trouble spent on this was by no means lost, for admiring eyes were many. In regard to the .work exhibited much might be said. D. Howard Hitch cock had a number of pieces, recently finished. His "Outposts," a marine view and his "Kilatiea in 1S93," at tracted much attention. Mrs. Kelly's floral pieces were likewise very favor ably commented upon. Among other successful contributors were the fol lowing: Mrs. Belle Jones, Mrs. A. H. Graham, Mrs. Alfred Willis, Mrs. Her bert Garstin, Mrs. A. B. Tucker, Mrs. H. M. von Holt, Mrs. S. Dacota, C. W. Dickey, Philip Dodge and G. E. McCrea. Miss Herrick, Miss Towne and Miss Hall were the contributors of China painting while Mrs. Clarence Macfar- lane had a portrait on view. The League was successful in obtain ing, through one of the members, a sketch by Fred Yates which was on view. One of the main topics of the even ing was the new home of the league, plans for which are now being made. The members hope that they will soon move into a fine large building where triey will no longer be handicapped as they have been in the past. LANAI PLANTATION. If Well Borinc Gives Results Susar Will Be Produced. No?? for a Lanai plantation. R. D WAlhridee and Fred Hayselden are at the head of the enterprise. They have the assurance of ample financial backing. Surveys have been made. Soil have been tested. The landing has been selected. The prospectus is in course of preparation. It is hoped to have the all-important problem of water for irrigation settled within thirty days A well boring outfit goes forward to dav. The contract has been awarded to the Chinese company in the busi ness. An extra drill was made at the Honolulu Iron Works yesterday. The rigging, men, etc., will be shipped by the Wilder steamer Maui at 4 o'clock this afternoon. A trial will be made for a ten-inch well. It is claimed that the surface indications are all that could be desired and a number of ka maainas are confident that water will be found. There are many consider able areas of fertile soil on Lanai, but the Island has for many years been given up almost entirely to stock Lanai has long been a producer of wool and mutton. The gentlemen who are now taking active steps in the furtherance of the project for a plan tation for Lanai have long had the plan in mind. They have proceeded cautiously and are yet very loath to speak of their campaign in detail. It is certain, however, that if water is found a very large sugar estate will be established.
