D353 lor n mi WORK IN ENGLISH Pastors' Aid Society is Needed Here. Some Extracts from Retorts of Pistors of Eng Ish Cburcbcs on the Hawaiian islands. The following In relation to mis sionary work in Kngiish on the various Islands of the group is taken from the last annual report of the Hoard of Mis sions: This is a work of rapidly increasing importance, but one. from the very nature of the case, exceedingly diffi cult to handle. We undertake to as sist white communities to secure preaching, but we wait for them to organize. Our plan Is to work through those who supervise the native work let them establish services in Knir. lish where they can, and when pastors are called to take eharce of EnclUh- speaklng congregations we are glad, where it is practicable, to engage them to act part of the time as our superin tendents of the native work. We can thus help in their support and in the enlargement of their sphere of Influ ence. This has been most stirrfvtsriil- ly done on the Island of Kauai and we are seeking to achieve a similar result on Maul and Hawaii. While rarlne for the native churches on Kauai Mr. Lydgate has succeeded In establishing two congregations for services In Eng lish, in one of which a church organi zation has been formed. He reports as follows: "The English work continues to aid and supplement the Hawaiian. A church organization has been formed in Lihue with which a good propor tion of the church-going community have identified themselves. The serv ices are held on Sunday afternoon In the native church, the care and repair of which is assumed by the foreign congregation. "A very interesting and promising work is being done with the children among whom we have three most en joyable little societies, in which we aim to combine Instruction and recre ation In a pleasant and profitable way: They are exceedingly popular with the children, who cry to come. My wife renders most valuable assistance, es pecially in this vurk.M On Maui Mr. Lewis has held regu lar English services in Walluku and liana and also an occasional one at Lahainaluna. Mr. Hill, besides car ing for the native church in Olaa. has an English Sunday school service there, and al an English congrega tion in Pahala. Kau. to which he speaks once a month. He also speaks monthly at Xaalehu and Walohinu. There is great need that just such a work should be undertaken in the Ko nas, where the native population Is nu merous and the white population Is increasing. On this Island of Oahu. too. there is a large ami inviting field which yet another man might take with great benelit to our work. Such a man might form on this Island a much-needed Pastors Aid Society for native pastors, while at the same time earing for some English congregation. We have to acknowledge again the great aid, both pecuniary and other wise, which we have received from the pastor and members of the Central Union Church, of which Uev. W. M. Kincaid was installed pastor Ieeeni ber 12. 1S.s. From this organization come the officers and most of the art ive members of our board. Pastors Ueckwith and Cruzan are constantly giving us their aid. We are indebted to the Hllo "Local Committee." of which Mr. Cruzan Is chairman, for the diligent attention and wise direc tion they have given to the native work in their district. Messrs. Mas- sle and Austin are also full of help fulness in their respective parishes. Mr. Baldwin, on Maul, a member of our board and of our local committee. represents the Pastors Aid Society of that Island, and has given great sup port to the native work. The special work Is more directly reported by those of our missionary superintendents engaged in it. A SAFE PLACE. Gen. Lee tohl an amusing story this morning to a reporter. hen he was about todeliver his address at the Con federate reunion In Craig county recent ly someonecame to him and asked him if he would not speak to an old colored man who wished to spo.ik to him. The general consented, and the old negro, whose name was S.im, and who had fought throughout the war. came and received the proffered hand, flen Lee at once began to put question to the old fellow, who answered with wonder ful skill. The general then asked him where he had seen the best time du ing the war. "At Chickamaug.i." at once replied the darky, "because I ran as soon a the tiring began." 'Rut how did you know which wiy to run in such a hot battle?" asked Gen. Lee with a merry twinkle in his eye. "I went directly to the safest place and the first I could find " answered Sam, coming to his climax. Again ho was asked how he could te!l which ulace was ?afe. "I knowed it was safe," replied Sim. " 'cause I skipped for de p!ac whar d generils was.". Gen. Lee enjoyed the jok- an 1 laugh ed heartily at the darky's wit. Char lottevllle, Ga., Chronicle.

LABOR PROBLEMS Experience Gained in the British Colonies. It Is fow Demositratel That the Eat IcJlan Coo'le Is th? Mas for West InJUa Plaatattoss. In tin future of our Wot Ir.di.m col onics the lahor problem mut bulk larcely on coolies, for white mn can not work in tnc blazing heat of the plantations and the descendant f the people we enslaved will not. The "nift ier" has no taste for agricultural la bor. and bliss to him the hady ld of a hut and half-a-dollar In bis pock et. To work the estates first Portu guese, thn Chinese and lastlv IList Indian coolies were Imported. The Portuguese made money and went Into business as storekeepers: the Ch'.nese followed suit In a smaller way; and hardly an indentured laborer of either race is to lc found now on the sugar estates. Th East Indian coolie has done better In agriculture, but ecn though there Is a total of lll.tn-o of them In Hrlllsh Guiana alone, the available labor is far below what Is necessary. Mr. Chamlerlaln has sanc tioned the emigration of i.OoO this year, but unless that standard Is main tained for several ean to come, the vant of labor will te as pronounced as it Is now. When his ten years of service are up for the first five Ire Is an indentured laborer. In the second five he Is qualifying for tils passage money home the coolie gc back to India, and this Is the drawback of the system; for If he settled he would do well for the colony, and the colony thinks so much of him that It U pre pared to do almost anything to keep him. lltit, of course, home is home. and when the dusky son of the Ilast performs his share of the contract, he ha., a perfect right to go If he pleases. Hut the Colonial Offltr might with very great advantage to both the In dies Increase the proportion which Is allowed to come annually, so that tin numixT in active mtvicc should neer get below a certain level. During the three years which ended with 1MO there were over lG.Ooo immigrant of the class, while during, the ubsctiu lit three years the total was less than t;.:ii. So that Instead f Increasing. the "working" total Is decreasing, and th.it. too.
