preached again, and ateight oclock Mr. Fukao, a Japanesecatechist, preached to the Japanese. Next morning you would, if you hadbeen there, have seen a pleasant sight.There is a public school with 300 chil-dren in attendance a hundred yardsaway. A number of these come to churchwith Mr. Krolls day-school at 8:30every morning and have a delightfulchoral service which the children like toattend. When I was last in Lahaina, I madearrangements to get a piece of land onthe beach where it is cool, and on thiswe hope to build a parsonage when themoney comes. I am glad that the Board appointedMr. Kroll to Lahaina. He says thework is just what he wanted. All thechildren know him. The Junior Auxil-iaries of Honolulu have given him asecond-hand piano for the parish halland that is just what is wanted, for Mr.Kroll is a trained musician ^and the chil-dren of Hawaii love music. Mr. Krollsays that the people of Lahaina have noamusements and he believes that whole-some amusements are good for people.

The children bom in Lahaina areAmerican boys and girls, beoauseHawaii is just as much a territory of theUnited States as Arizona is. Mr. Krollsays: I never saw children so eager tolearn. At one of the services on theSunday mentioned, I baptized anHawaiian boy. The name given wasWeymouth Leopold Anainahookipa —Weymouth, after the Rev.
