ppeaks for the touching beauty of the
whole: "We are only remembered by

With the arrival of Miss Jessie Ack-erman-and
Miss Ada Mercutt, two
"Round-the-World" missionaries, on
the Coptic, Honolulu will be in a re
form upheaval. A temperance crusade
Is being planned, and these two well
known lecturers are to be assisted by
such noted factors as the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, the Pas
toral Union, and the California Anti-
Saloon League, the latter to be repre
sented by Dr. Chapman, of Oakland,
who will arrive early in January.
The liquor traffic will be attacked in
a Beriea of meetings calculated .to
arouse sentiment in favor of the bill
which Congressman Littlefleld, of
Maine, has Introduced, prohibiting the
sale to the aborigines of the Pacific
Islands, of opiifm and liquor. The
local order of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is as yet divided
in the matter of endorsing the bill, aa
some members object to the discrimi
nation Involved in the measure.
The two lecturers will remain for
some two weeks in the Islands, until
the work Is well under way. Misa
Ackerman is well known in Honolulu,
having been here before. Miss Mer
cutt comes here for the first time, her
home being in Australia.
NOW, GET TO WORK.
