“Judge not— the workings of his brain
And of his heart thou canst not see.
What looks to thy dim eyes a stain,
In God’s pure light may only be \
A scar, brought from some well-won field'
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.”

T o the Church F olk of the D istrict of H o n o lu lu :
Before leaving your lovely Islands of the Pacific I w rite a brief m essage to all those whom it was my pleasure to meet here, and to any others w ith whom it was my pleasure to meet here, and to any others w ith whom the sho rtness of m y stay prevented my m aking contact. I shall carry w ith me delightful memories of abundant courtesy and kindness, and I hope a good understanding of the problem s and opportunities of th is M issionary D istrict.
T hanks to the experience and good judgm ent of Dean A ult, who arranged m y itinerary , I feel th a t I have accom plished fa r more than could have been expected in the tw enty-tw o days which were a t m y disposal. I am going back w ith the welfare of these Islands very close to m y heart, and shall use every effort to prom ote the interests of the Church w ork here.
I tru st th a t a t some future date, not too fa r d istant, it may be my good fo rtune to renew the p leasant relations w hich have been created during my stay.
Affectionately and gra tefu lly yours, H ugh L. Burleson
CHRISTM AS F E ST IV IT IE S ST. A N D R E W ’S CATHEDRAL H A W A IIA N CONGREGATION AND ST. M ARK’S M ISSION.
The C hristm as services both for the H aw aiian Congregation of the C athedral and th a t of St. M ark’s Mission, K apahulu, were well attended, and a splendid spirit prevailed all th rough the Christm astide. A s usual, the children’s tree and festivities were attended jo in tly by the Church schools of both groups, as well as by the little boys of the K alihi Boy’s H om e, who always share our C hristm as. W e had p repar
ed, beforehand, for som ething over 250 children, but it is easy to im agine how we had to scurry about when we found ourselves facing the task of providing for about 380. H ow ever, they were all cared for. T hrough the courtesy of M ay and Co. our tree was provided, together w ith several little g ifts. Added to the regular g ifts, th rough the joint cooperation of M r. A llan R enton and M r. J . F . Chalm ers the children had lovely balloons all well filled w ith gas. T his delighted them above measure. Iolani Guild, the H oaloha Club, the Diocesan B ranch of the W om an’s Auxiliary and the M issionary U nion all helped to m ake our C hristm as a happy and effective one, and we are most g ratefu l indeed. W e only wish more people could have been present, and looking into the faces of about 400 children would certainly have made a happiness steal into the heart. A loha.— Canon O ttm ann.
CHRISTM AS F E ST IV IT IE S ST. M ARY’S M ISSION
C hristm as festivities a t St. M ary’s began w ith the K indergarten entertainm ent on the 19th. Each child trimmed a little living tree and made decorations for the large one. The program had three p a r t s : first, the religious, consisting of the singing of hym ns and carols and the dram atization of the C hristm as s to ry ; second, dancing around the tree and singing “Merry C hristm as” songs, and lastly games. P resen ts m ade by the children were given to their m others and each child received a little C hristm as box provided by M rs. Lucien Lance of Berkeley, California.
The older boys and g irls gave a play in the evening and people in the audience expressed them selves as being well pleased w ith the perform ance.
HAW A IIA N CHU RCH C HR O NIC LE 3
On the afternoon of the 22nd the Sunday School C hristm as tree was held and, as usual, the hall w as filled w ith a m erry crowd. T he younger children of St. M ary’s H om e very p rettily d ra matized the C hristm as story under the direction of two of the older girls, Louise and Alice. The little A ngel who looked down from the ra fte rs of the cave was very attrac tive and did her part well. V ery nice presents were p ro vided for the children, m ost of them having been sent from the diocese of Long Island.
Holv Com m union was celebrated at seven o’clock on C hristm as m orning with 53 in attendance and 32 communions.
A fter b reakfast the children of the Home gathered in the p re tty living room and, sitting on the floor around the tree, sang a few carols to “ Santa Claus” who then proceeded to d istrib ute the g ifts, both useful and joyful, which had been provided for them by the very generous check which had been received from the C hristm as Cheer Committee th rough the W om an’s A uxiliary.
An added pleasure at th is tim e was the presence of our good friends Mr. and M rs. W m . M cKay, M r. and M rs.C. R. H em enw ay and M rs. W m. Thompson. M r. and M rs. Lawrence Judd came in later in the m orning to give us greetings and they were satisfied, by the savory odors issuing from the kitchen, th a t a delicious tu rkey dinner would soon be in evidence.
Mrs. Low ry called at St. M ary’s a few days before C hristm as and left a very welcome donation and several other kind friends sent gifts. St. A ndrew ’s and St. Clem ent’s ’Sent packages of very acceptable clothing for the children. To all the m any friends who helped to give us a happy C hristm as we extend our heartfeld thanks.
U nforunately , M iss Sara C hung fell a victim to “ flu” on C hristm as E ve and had to spend all the holidays in her room.
Miss M aude Jones has kindly consented to be Captain of Girl Scouts Troop 8 of St. M ary’s M ission in place of Miss M argaret V anD eerlin who has resigned.

ST. L U K E’S IN TER N A TIO N A L MEDICAL CENTRE
On O ctober 12th, 1928, the General Convention of the P ro testan t Episcopal Church put aside all o ther business and voted to raise on million dollars ($1,000,000) tow ard St. L uke’s In te rnational Medical Centre in Tokyo, J a pan.
The H onorable George W . W icker- sham was chosen chairm an of the entire Executive Committee and M rs. H enry P. D avidson of New Y ork, a woman widely know n for her philanthropic interests has accepted the chairm anship of the W om an’s Committee. The Executive Committee is a large and forceful one, and th rough it several generous g ifts have been received to w ard the fund. M r. P. R. Pyne, of the Committee, and his wife made a g ift of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and Mr. Jo h n N. Brown of Providence gave ten thousand dollars ($10,000) a fte r eharing D r. Teusler, the A m erican D irector of St. L uke’s, speak.
T he women of St. A ndrew ’s C athedral called a m eeting last week to ta lk over plans in regard to the g rea t pledge of the convention. E ach diocese will

of course cooperate and it is hoped tha t our quota of the sum will be very quickly raised.
St. L uke’s beg-an tw enty-six years ago in an abandoned hospital building in the foreign concession of T okyo. I t was com pletely unfurnished and unequipped, having room for but eight beds. U p to 1914 it had grow n to an institu tion of ninety beds, a staff of fo rty doctors and one hundred th irty - five nurses. Today the hospital ad m its sixty-five hundred in-patients yearly and handles one hundred fifty-six thousand visits yearly in its dispensary. St. L uke’s furnished the first Am erican R ed Cross un it to serve the Allied fo rces in Siberia, and served in this capacity until 1921. I t then became Base H ospita l No. 1. I t cared principally for the m utiles from the Czech forces opera tin g in Russia.
On Septem ber 1st, 1923, when the fearful earthquake and fire took the lives of over one hundred fifty thousand Japanese people, not a m em ber of the hospital staff deserted his post and not a single patien t was lost, a lthough the buildings were to tally destroyed. T em porary quarters were occupied to save the patients lives.
St. L uke’s acts as a clearing house for medical th o ugh t and as a center for the spreading of the m ost m odem w estern practices in medicine. T h rough it the U nited S tates dem onstrates to J a pan the branches of medicine in which A m erica excels: surgery , sanitation and nursing.
To realize its opportunities, the H ospital m ust have new buildings. I t can become neither a g rea t teaching center nor a model for o ther hospitals in J a pan unless it is housed in a structure which reflects adequately the best m odern hospital standards. T he laws of Tokyo requires th a t such buildings m ust be of concrete and steel. T he m a
terials for construction, and all equipm ent, will enter Japan duty free. The g rea t medical centre is seeking a fund of $2,656,500.00 to carry out its work. I t will, when finished, stand as a symbol of friendship from the A m erican to the Japanese people. A living, w orking friend ! T he A m erican Am bassador to Japan says of D r. R. B. Teusler, the Am erican director of St. L uke’s: “There is no A m erican in Jap an so representative as D r. Teusler, w hether as a medical m an, professional man, business man, or ju st kind friend.” Further he s a y s : “H e combines all theexecutive ability of a g rea t captain of industry, the com passion of a John the B aptist and the skill of a g reat physician.” U nder his leadership the hospital has won such esteem th a t it has been made the recipient of the largest personal g ift ever m ade to any hospital in Jap an by the E m peror and the Empress.

A very happy C hristm as season was experienced a t th is M ission. The C hristm as Church School entertainment was held on F riday evening, the twenty- first. A bout one hundred twenty-five children and fifty adults were present. The Y oung People’s Fellow ship donated and decorated a beautiful Christmas tree ; and the W om an’s Guild and Auxiliary furnished the candy and fru it and a g ift for each child. E ach class in the School provided an item of entertainm ent w hich w as adm irably executed to the enjoym ent of all. Santa Claus (impersonated by M r.

A t the eleven o’clock service on the

Fourth Sunday in A dvent, the children’s “M anger Service” was held in the Church. It was indeed a beautiful and im pressive service. E ach child brought some g if t and placed it in the “M anger,” th a t some other child less better conditioned m ight too have some token of love on the N atal D ay of O ur Blessed Lord. O ur “M anger” was full to overflowing w ith the offerings of the children. These g ifts were d istributed to the poor children of th is City.
The m id-night E ucharist on C hristmas Eve was well attended. T he inspiring and m agnificent C hristm as chants and hym ns were beautifu lly rendered by the full choir. T he sermon ended on the m inute of m idnight. Then the church bell pealed out the g lad tid ings of another anniversary of tha t wondrous event, the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ. S ixty persons made their C hristm as communion a t th is serv-
• ice and ten at the later service on Christmas Day.
THE CHRISTM AS F E ST IV IT IE S AT ST. ELIZA BETH ’S
The C hristm as fesfivities a t St. E lizabeth’s M ission began on the F riday before Christm as, when the children of the D ay School gave a p rogram and received th e ir g ifts. T he School is under the care of Miss R u th Lau, a young teacher, who belongs to the C ongregation. M iss H elen T yau, the regular teacher is on a holiday in China, w here she is resting and convalesing from a serious flu condition.
On C hristm as eve a t 7 :30 the Church of the M ission held its festival, w ith an entertainment and tableau. T h e N a tivity was presented by the m em bers of the L igh t Seekers of St. E lizabeth’s, under the direction of M iss E d ith Ing. A beautiful tree, well trim m ed and ligh ted, was laden w ith g ifts and every one
present received a g ift and candy from the hand of S anta Claus, who, as the little ones were told had made a very special effort to be present.
T he M id-night E ucharist started at 11:30. The P riest in C harge was the celebrant assisted by the Rev. W oo Yee Bew and the Rev. N oah K. Cho, as Deacon and Sub-deacon. T he holy Gospel was read in English , Chinese and K orean. T he large choir under the direction of Miss L aura E. Brow n of K am eham eha Schools, sang S ta iner’s M ass, w ith ancient plain-song chants. T he carol, “E ar, F a r A way on Judea’s P la in” by M cFarlane was sung as the O ffertory and M iss E llen Chun, soprano soloist, sang “Silent N ig h t” a t the Communion. A large num ber of comm unions were given at th is service and at the two services on C hristm as m orning. The m usic a t the 1 0 :30 E ucharist was the same as at m id-night. T he serm on in E nglish was by the Pastor.
The entire C hristm as collection, which am ounted to alm ost $100.00 will be devoted to the Bishop L a M othe M emorial Fund, w hich has been instituted, to place a fitting m em orial in St. E lizabeth’s Church in loving m em ory of our late Bishop, Jo h n D. L a M othe.— Canon Kieb.
CHRISTM AS AT IO LANI
T h ro u g h the kindness of our friends, Christm as a)t lo lan i was b e tte r th an ever before. On the F rid ay before Christm as a program was held in the school Chapel. A special C hristm as service began at 8 :50 and the Rev. M r.

m uch to th a t sp irit of peace and happiness which should fill our hearts at Christm antide. A t the end of the p ro g ram candy, apples, oranges were given to the boys and they all declared it to be the best C hristm as p a rty Iolani had ever had.
T he C hristm as tree for the boarders was held a fte r b reakfast C hristm as m orning at the staff house. T h e tree w as well decorated and there were p re sents for all. In the evening dinner was held for the boys and faculty and a few invited guests. Yes, we can tru ly say th a t the S pirit of C hristm as was a t Io lani th is year.
ST. M ARK’S M ISSIO N PROJECT
T his issue of The Chronicle goes to p ress ju s t a t the close of a m eeting of the Executive Committee of the W om an ’s A uxiliary. A t th a t m eeting the question of a P a rish H ouse for S. M ark ’s M ission was discussed. A fter interview ing several responsible parties, Canon O ttm ann was assured th a t a t least $4,000.00 would be needed to put up an adequate building.
A t th is w riting S. M ark ’s has 187 active Church School scholars. These are divided into 9 classes. W e have, a t present, one room, in w hich there are no partitions open on three sides w here the rain blow in ; and the Chapel, in w hich to try to house these children. T ry as we may, we can only shelter 5 classes, the others having, of necessity, to meet out in .th e Church yard , where, a t all times, d istractions m anifold p revail ; and when it rains— why, we are ju s t lost to know w hat to do. T here have been times when we have actually had to dism iss children and let them go home. P icture such an occasion—then try to im agine constructive building of the w ork! O ur one and only building,
outside of the C h ap e l; houses a little corner w here a Palam a N urse holds fo rth— w here sick children are brought, babies weighed, m others instructed, along w ith o ther detailed w ork of such a clinic. In this same build ing a daily k indergarten of 60 children is cared for. T h is same one-room building offers our only place for socials, dances, and on Sunday for 3 classes.
S. M ark ’s has a g roup of G irl Scouts (3 Eagles Scouts registered here, a Y oung People’s Service League, a daily k indergarten , Church School on Sunday for approxim ately 200 children, and a branch of settlem ent w ork, under the direction of Palam a.
W e are anxious to m ake th is the religious and social center of all the K apahulu D istrict. W e look forw ard to the time when a fair percent of these 200 children will become Communicants. E ach year we are adding a few to our rolls, A F T E R thorough tra in ing . To- accom plish w hat we should, we simply m ust have a building th a t will house those th a t come, are interested and learn to love the M ission. T he DistrictB ranch of the W om an’s A uxiliary of th is M issionary D istrict has accepted the challenge and agreed to m ake this vision of service a reality , by ra ising the necessary $4,000.00. A le tter will soon go forth , giv ing details, and ask ing for assistance. I hope and tru st every single person connected w ith T he Church in these Islands will do som ething toward th is end, thus leaving no g rea t burden to be borne by any single individual or group.
M ay God bless all efforts in th is direction.

F o r over a m onth we have been kept ex tra busy, w hat w ith the Christmas season, children’s parties, and then the visit of the Bishop of South D akota; they say th a t the busy people are the happy people, and we have had a very happy time. O ur C hristm as services were well attended a t each Church. At M akapala the children were given a dinner on Saturday, December 29th, and it would have done you good to see
H AW AIIAN C H TTRCH C HR O NIC LE
the children enjoy the meal provided for them. W e wish to thank the members of St. Clem ent’s Guild and St. A ndrew’s Sunday School for the g ift of toys sent for Christm as.
We are happy to state th a t each Church in th is parish is free from debt at the end of the year 1928 and has a small balance in hand.
The new car, D odge Sedan S tandard Six, provided by St. A ugustine’s Church with the help of the m issions and friends, came two days before the Right Rev. H ugh L. Burleson arrived. The Bishop arrived at 2 :30 a. m. F r iday at M ahukona and stayed a t The Rectory during his visit. The same morning, F riday , he spoke to the H igh School S tudents at H onom akau and that evening held a confirm ation service at St. P au l’s Church, M akapala. Saturday, he visited the K orean M ission and at n ight attended a reception given by the m em bers of St. A ugustine’s Church Guild, in the K ohala P lan tation H all. The Bishop told of the object of his v isit and also spoke of his w ork am ongst the Indians in South Daokta.
Sunday m orning, at 7 :30 found the Bishop at St. P au l’s Church for H oly Communion, a t which every com m unicant, connected w ith th a t Church was present. A fter the service he baptized a baby boy ju st one week old. A t 9:30 a. m. he spoke to the children in St. A ugustine’s Church, and then preached a t the 11 a. m. service there. At 3 :30 p. m. we were in K am uela. St. Jam es’ Church, and in spite of the wet day there, a nice congregation was present. Sunday evening was spent a t the Waimea Hotel.
It was the duty and privilege of the writer to drive the Bishop round the Island to v isit each Church and Parish . Reports from these Parishes will tell of the B ishop’s v is i t ; I will only say
th a t we spent M onday evening as houseguests w ith Canon and M rs. W allace, a t the ir home a t K ealakekua. Tuesday evening found us in H ilo for service and reception, a fte r w hich we drove to the Volcano H ouse, spending the n igh t there, and leaving the next m orning in tim e for a luncheon w ith the m em bers of the V estry of the Church of the H oly Apostles at the H ilo Hotel. A fter lunch the w riter drove the Bishop to Papaaloa, leaving the Bishop there.
On W ednesday m orning, while a t the Volcano House, news reached us of the sudden death of M r. Black, M anager of H alaw a P lantation . H e died tha t m orning a t 7 :45. T his is the second death to take place in th is d istric t this year, both of them sudden. Thom as H aro ld Scott M ay, on his way to H ilo was killed in an autom obile accident and was buried in St. A ugustine’s C hurchyard on M onday, Jan u ary 7th. He was a local boy who had for several years been living w ith his wife and children in H onolulu and had been spending his C hristm as vacation w ith his paren ts here and was on his way to H ilo to take the boat to H onolulu when the accident occurred. H e was a very popular young m an and his death came as a g rea t shock to the district. O ur sincere sym pathy goes out to the m em bers of both families, M ay’s and B lack’s. T he w o rd s : “ In the m idstof life we are in death” have been brough t home to us by these two sudden deaths.

The C hristm as season was an unusually happy one for the congregation of All Sain ts’ Church, K apaa, for just before C hristm as the v icar announced th a t the building fund debt of the church had been entirely paid. W hen the church was opened for service in
10 H AW A IIA N CHUR-jH C HR O NIC LE
December, 1925, there was a debt of $10,000 on the property . In the th ree years following, the above am ount was reduced to $1700. In December the entire debt was cancelled th rough a donation from A ll S ain ts’ Guild and a m ost generous g if t from “an interested friend.” T he property ,— land, church and rectory— costing nearly $25,000, and w orth very much m ore than that, is now free from debt, and plans are being made for the consecration of the church building by Bishop Burleson.
T he next task w hich A ll Sain ts’ Church is undertak ing is the erection of a parish house in the near fu ture to house the m any organizations and activities of the work. The arch itest is already m aking the plans.
In point of attendance and spirit the C hristm as D ay service was perhaps the best ever held in All Sain ts’. The C hristm as tree for the pupils of All Sain ts’ and O lohena church schools was also a decided success. 104 young people and a num ber of grow n-ups g a th ered at the rectory on the afternoon of F riday , Decem ber 21st. A fte r a ta lk from Santa Claus and the d istribution of g ifts, fru it and candies, the children gathered on the lawn fo r gam es and a special trea t of ice cream cones generously donated by a com m unicant of All Sain ts’. The C hristm as tree was the g ift of the W om an’s Guild to the children of the two schools.

CHRIST CHURCH, KONA, HAW AII
In our little Church here the Christmas Service was a b righ t and inspiring one, the Church was filled alm ost to its capacity, a good Choir, added to the congregational singing we usually have to depend on for our music, did much to m ake the service of praise a marked feature of the C hristm as Festival. The Church was very tastefu lly decorated as usual. T he num ber of communicants was satisfactory . The w eather was propitious, a clear sunny day. On the whole we of the Church in K ona can look back on th is C hristm as D ay as one of the b righ test and best.

was prepared by the teachers, which consisted of carol singing followed by the A ngels’ Song on the Bethlehem hillside w ith a solo by M ary Dunn. Then followed the presentation of the gifts of gold, frankincense and m yrrh at the M anger by the three W ise Men, whose p art swere taken by Jo h n R ogers, W alter M ookini and E arling Goo, who sang “W e T hree K ings of O rient Are.” E rnest and Frances Neddemeyer were Joseph and M ary and M rs.

THE GOOD SH E PH E R D , W A ILU K U
Our C hristm as services were largely attended by devout attentive and responsible congregations. The choir ad d ed much of brigh tness and beauty to our w orship a t the divine service on Christmas Day. O w ing to the fact th a t some families would be v isiting on o ther islands th roughou t C hristm as week, we felt constrained to give the children their “Tree” and special service w ith hymns and carols they had learned on the evening of the 21st when parents and friends came also and filled the chapel. D u ring C hristm astide we met happy-hearted little ones singing the ir Y uletide music even along the highw ays and byways.
H ere at the rectory we feel th a t our joys are redoubled in having our good friend Bishop Burleson as our first house guest during his two days on th is island.— A. B. Clark.
PA A U ILO AND PAPAALO A
The C hristm as festivities at the P a auilo Japanese M ission were held on Christmas Eve and were of an especially in teresting character. T he hall was
prettily decorated w ith evergreens and red and green stream ers. The C hristmas tree was resplendent w ith g litte ring ornam ents and varicolored lights. T he chancel was transform ed into a m anger scene. The star shone overhead. A mimic campfire in the foreground. T h is was the setting for the play, “The C hristm as Shepherds,” an adaptation of an old m ystery dram a. The program opened w ith a varied selection of carols and recitations by the ch ild ren ; then followed the play. I t depicted the Shepherds, in like m anner as the W ise Men in the Bible story , presenting symbolic g ifts, a ball to represent the earth , cherries signify ing the blood of the sacrificial death, and a bird suggesting the flight to heaven, the A scension. T he children— this year, H a w aiians, Portuguese and K oreans—enacted the ir p arts w ith fine feeling and the audience was intensely intrested. In conclusion, all joined in singing “ Silent N igh t.” A fter a short interm ission Santa Claus suddenly appeared w ith jing ling bells and a full sock of p resents and sweets. To each Sunday School child he gave a suitable toy and a bag of raisins, nuts and candies. V isiting children also were not forgotten , Santa had candies for all. Needless to say, everybody went home happy, w ith pleasant recollections of a joyous C hristm as Eve.
T hanks are due to St. A ndrew ’s Cathedral Guild and A uxiliary whose financial aid furnished the g ifts and to the E. N. H olm es Co. of H ilo who supplied the raisins, nuts and candies.
The C hristm as service a t P apaaloa was held on Sunday the 23rd. The church was beautifu lly decorated w ith evergreens and poinsettia. O ld fam iliar hym ns were sung w ith heartiness and devotion. H oly Communion was celebrated and the pasto r preached from the T ext “ In these last days spoken
