S u m m er CampW e have a goodly number of applicants for the Church

Cam p as this issue goes to press, bu t w ould urge all parents who have not yet registered their child or children in this summ er camp, to do so immediately. T h e camp w ill be lim ited to 50 each session.

T h e Rev. R ichard M . Trelease, J r ., D irector of Y outh W ork , w ill be in charge of the camp. H e w ill be assisted by the Reverends John J . M o rre tt and Lewis B. Sheen. O th er counselors will; be M r.

To Go To Seattle, WashingtonW e lam ent the fact that the Reverend A ndrew N .

O tan i w ill leave the la tte r part of A ugust for new w ork in Seattle, W ashington, under our good friend, the Rt. Rev. Stephen F. Bayne, J r ., in the Diocese of Olympia. H e has been doing a splendid w ork w ith our older Japanese on the Island of Kauai, but has long wished that he m ight have an opportunity to fu rthe r his study 1 of the English language. H e w ill be given this opportunity in the new w ork he w ill undertake. Before going to Seattle he w ill visit his m other in Japan.

W e regret losing this earnest priest from our Diocesan Family, but wish him G od’s richest blessings in all that he undertakes. W e are sure th a t this experience will enrich his m inistry and mean much to those he w ill serve.

I t is easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them. — A lfr e d A d le r ; quoted in Thesaurus ofEpigrams, edited by E d m u n d Fuller ( Grown Publishers)

Christopher’s Church, Kailua, O ahu. I t was a beautiful service, attended by the clergy of O ahu, members of the congregation, and many friends. Every detail of the service was thoughtfully planned and executed, and much c r e d i t goes to the Reverend Richard M . Trelease, J r ., his gracious wife, and the members of his Bishop’s committee. T h e reception following the service, and given by the congregation, was delightful.

St. C hristpher’s C hurch is beautifully constructed, and rve commend the architect, M r. Edw in L. Bauer and the W estern Builders, contractors, for the workmanship in the Church. I t is one of the loveliest in the Islands, and we feel blessed to have this House of G od added to our C hurch property.

The property on which the C hurch and Vicarage stand is the g ift of M r. and M rs. H aro ld Castle. M r. W esley Ohlson gave the A ltar, Pulpit, Lectern, Choir and Com ­munion rails, Baptismal Font, Credence tables, and other millwork including doors, windows and cabinets. T h e Hammond O rgan is the gift of M r. Stanley H . N . W a ld ­ron in loving memory of his mother, Sarah E. W aldron . The Dossal C urtain , of a rich gold brocade, is the gift of M r. and M rs. George A. Cull, in loving memory of Captain John D . H orne, Black W atch , killed in action, Normandie, June 1944. T h e friends of John W . Searle and N orm an C.

M usic by the Jun io r and Senior Choirs was under the direction of M rs. H . E. W illson. T h is Mission may well be proud of the way in which they sang the O ffertory Anthem , Praise Ye the F ather, by G ounod. T h e Bishop preached the dedica­tion sermon.

M em bers of the Bishop’s Com mittee are : W ardens, M r. John W . Searle and M r. N orm an A u lt; M r. J . H arry M attson, M r. Roy Devereux, M rs. John C. W illiam s, M r. Stanley W aldron , M r.

T h e C hurch’s 56th G eneral Convention, to be held in San Francisco September 26 to October 7, w ill be the th ird to bring Churchm en in large numbers to the Pacific Coast.

Kauai ServicesT h e Venerable John R. Caton, Archdeacon of Kauai,

and his clergy have established island-wide services each month, at which time the congregations from all the churches attend and the combined choirs participate. T h e Reverend Frederick M cD onald , rector of St. C lem ent’s Church, H onolulu, spoke at the second such service, held at St. P au l’s Church, Kekaha, Kauai. H is topic, “ Evan­gelism” was one in which he could instill particular in­terest, for he has served so closely w ith our Presiding Bishop on his Committee for Laym en’s W ork . H aving the clergy of our other islands participate in the services is a commendable endeavor, and we know tha t the people on Kauai appreciate the opportunity to know all our clergy as we are privileged to know them.

Hawaii Episcopal AcademyT h e Reverend George W . Davison and M rs. Davison

visited H onolulu the weekend of M ay 22nd in the in­terests of the H aw aii Episcopal Academy. T h e Rev. M r. Davison preached at the C athedral on Sunday and spoke to a group at the Diocesan House on M onday, M ay 23rd. T h e W om an’s A uxiliary had a reception for the Davisons so tha t our people m ight have an opportunity to meet w ith them and talk to them about the school tha t w ill be opened in September. M rs. Geoffrey Podm ore was in charge of arrangem ents for the reception, and M rs. T o rke l W estly and M rs. George A. H a r t planned the refreshments.

Plans are going ahead w ith the School and people are m eeting its opening w ith enthusiasm. A n attractive bro­chure has been printed, so tha t any interested in sending children to the Academy next fall may have them for reference. A ny questions regarding it may be addressed to the Reverend M r. Davison, St. Colum ba’s Vicarage, Paauilo, H aw aii.

T h e Laym en’s League of O ahu have been spending their Saturdays and Sundays at M okuleia, getting it in readiness for our summ er camp. T hey have cleared away many of the ironwood trees tha t were causing destruction to the property, and which had to be cut down. T hey have also made repairs and built the Chapel. T h e shingles on the Chapel have in several instances been donated by friends— $3.00 per bundle. W e hope tha t many w ill join the “ Shingles for M okuleia” donors and send $3.00 to .the Bishop’s Office for this purpose. I t would be more than appreciated. W e need 90 bundles.

R eturn F rom E nglandT h e Reverend and M rs. Jam es W alker have returned

from a year’s furlough to England. T hey are now living in Q ueen Em m a Square. H e was the form er Archdeacon of the Island of H aw aii, where he did a very fine w ork in the K ohala missions. H e is now assisting the Bishop a t St. Stephen’s Church, W ahiaw a, and St. M ary ’s M is­sion, H onolulu. D uring the busy period of the Reverend John P . M oulton, Chaplain of Iolani School, in the clos­ing of school, Chaplain W illiam Sharp is taking the services at St. Stephen’s Church, and Archdeacon W alk er is assisting at St. M a ry ’s Mission.

T h e W alkers reported a fine rest and happy journey, but seem very content to return to H aw aii. I t is only after we Hear the stories of those who have recently come from E ngland th a t we appreciate more fully the hardships the people there are enduring in these years following the devastation of w ar. T h e ir fortitude is tremendous.

Canterbury Club . . .T h e U niversity of H aw aii students have formed a

chapter of the C anterbury Club and have sponsored some very w orthw hile meetings. T h e Reverend Lewis B. Sheen is now acting as Chaplain for the group, having succeeded the Rev. R ichard S. Corry. O n Sunday, M ay 22nd, the group gave a tea for all high school seniors. I t was a most delightful affair and was planned by M r. C lark Bornfield. I t was held at the Diocesan House.

A supper honoring the Rev. M r. Sheen was given at the Diocesan House recently, at which hekka was served. I t was a gay time for the th irty young people forming this group. President of the C anterbury Club, which is the N ational Council’s name for our college and university clubs, is Calvin Pang, St. E lizabeth’s Church.

Iolani Song FestivalM iss A lary W hitten is to be commended for the very

fine program of music given under her direction by the boys of Iolani School on the evening of M ay 20th, at the D ate S treet property on the A la W ai. A n outdoor stage had been improvised to take care of the many choruses of the grades participating. T h e fun of music training was definitely shown by the boys as they w ent through their selections. I t is a splendid w ork tha t Miss W hitten is doing for the boys in giving them music training.

An Omission . . .W e deeply regret that a recent statem ent regarding

the closing of St. M a ry ’s C hildren’s Hom e failed to give due credit to the real founder of the Home, M rs. F . L. Folsom, who had been m atron of Iolani School. In 1904 she began a night school, aided by several volunteer workers. T h e school grew and M rs. Folsom determined tha t she m ust live w ith the w ork to tru ly further it. She then devoted all her energies to St. M ary ’s Alission. In 1907 her w ork had grown so tha t she began looking for a larger place, and in Ju ly of tha t year she started a day school for Chinese girls. She was one of the first to see the need of feeding undernourished children and she got friends to contribute rice, soup meat and veget­ables, and gave the children a good mid-day meal daily.

I t was in 1908 that help was needed in H ilo, so M rs. Folsom w ent there to fill the gap. I t was then tha t M iss H ilda Van D eerlin took up her w ork and furthered it. W e should be remiss indeed if we did not give credit to the consecrated w ork of M rs. Folsom in the splendid achievement she made in starting our w ork a t St. M a ry ’s Home.

Assisting at St. Elizabeth’s ChurchM iss Bessie Sims, recently evacuated from China, and

of Richmond, Virginia, has come to assist the Rev. W ai O n Shim at St. Elizabeth’s C hurch, H onolulu. Miss Sims was one of our missionaries in China and had to leave her work. W e welcome her in the Diocesan family and know tha t she w ill be happy w orking w ith this fine parish. She w ill assist w ith the C hurch School and social service w ork in the parish.

Rectory Being RepairedAlembers of the M en ’s G roup at St. E lizabeth’s Church,

H onolulu, are going ahead w ith the repairs of the rectory at St. Jo h n ’s Church, Kula, Alaui. T h is w ill eventually be one of the most pleasant retreats for our clergy and their families, when they wish to get away from the hum drum of life, and get into a higher altitude. Beauti­fully located on a m ountain slope overlooking the sea, this is an ideal spot for rest and relaxation. W e know that the efforts of this group w ill mean much to many. T h e Rev. W ai O n Shim w ent to K ula on M ay 22nd for a monthly service conducted by him.

New Junior Choir, Holy T r in ity Church, Honolulu.

Thirty-Five Years o f ServiceSt. A ndrew ’s C athedral Parish Choir has had a devoted

member in M rs. K enneth Day, for she has sung in the choir thirty-five years. T h is is a splendid record. She is not only one of our fine choir members, and teacher at St. Andrews Priory, but she is a devout w orker in our Diocese and has contributed much toe furthering of our w ork in these Islands. W here the C hurch is concerned, no task is too menial or too difficult for her to undertake, so long as it means a step forw ard in our work.

Visits Diocesan HouseT he Reverend P au l Savanack spent a few days in

Honolulu the week of M ay 16th, and stayed at the Diocesan House.' H e is getting a remarkable library of color slides of the w ork of our missions on Kauai. T h e clergy and families on this Island are having a very happy experience..in w orking together- on many projects. T hey hope to send a delegate from their Y oung People’s Fellow ­ship and from one of their Auxiliaries to G eneral Con­vention. '

Already $50,000 in Gifts to Rebuild, Rehabilitate Kenyon

M ore than $50,000 has come in unsolicited to Kenyon College since the tragic fire which took the lives of nine students and destroyed the college’s oldest building several weeks ago. T h is includes several thousand dollars for the aid of those students left destitute by the fire as well as gifts for the restoration of historic O ld Kenyon.

Kenyon’s neighbors in M oun t V ernon have been quick and generous in their response. T h e K iwanis Club spon­sored a fund for student relief which soon topped the $3000 m ark. T h e M oun t V ernon R otary Club raised $11,600 from its own membership in less than a week. T h e Boy Scouts are making a mile of pennies down M ount V ernon’s M ain street for Kenyon.

M eanw hile letters and checks continue to come in from students of other colleges, from alumni, from parents of students, from parents of young graduates, from church groups, and from individuals and organizations whose only connections w ith the college is one of sympathy and friendship. Some companies w ith whom the college has done business have cancelled the college’s outstanding bills.

T h e trustees of Kenyon have authorized an immediate drive for funds to restore O ld Kenyon. T h e new building w ill be an exact replica of the original, except th a t the inside w ill be of modern construction and fireproof.

W e cannot always oblige, but we can always speak obligingly. — Voltaire.

“Safe” Christianity . . .T ulsa , O kla.— A n Episcopal clergyman said here that

some people use religion like a drug. T h e Rev. H enry H . W iesbauer, director of the social services departm ent of the D enver Council of Churches, made the charge in ans­w ering the question, is religion an opiate?

Addressing a meeting of the T u lsa Council of Churches, M r. W iesbauer said many, people are putting too muchemphasis on the personal aspects of religion and areignoring or forgetting its social implications.

T oo many Christians today, he also complained, are overly concerned w ith the economic side of life, w ith “playing it safe.” H e added tha t too many persons in Arperica have confused “ respectability” and “ redemp­tion.”

“ M odern C hristianity needs to change its focus of thinking from outw ard respectability to inw ard, and then to social, redemption,” the m inister insisted.

“ If you play it safe all the time, how are you going to help people?” he demanded. “W here would we be if Jesus had ‘played it safe’ ?”

T o live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often. — J. H . N e w m a n

National ChurchT h e Rev. A. A. Chambers, rector of St. P e te r’s, A u­

burn, N .Y ., emphasizes the challenge of Missions in this w ay: “ I t was a Jew who brought the Gospel to Rom e; a Rom an who took it to F rance ; a Frenchm an who took it to Scandinavia; a Scandinavian who took it to Scotland; a Scotsman who evangelized Ire lan d ; and an Irishman who made the missionary conquest of Scotland. N o m atter where one’s ancestors lived, they received the Gospel at the hand of an alien race. A nd yet, there are some who say they do not believe in M issions!”

Accepts Election— Refused in 1947T h e Rev. K enneth V iall, S .S .J.E . has been given per­

mission to accept his election to the assistant bishopric of Tokyo. H e had refused the election in 1947 in order to comply w ith requests from the Presiding Bishop, the N ational Council, and the C hapter of the Society of St.John, Evangelist, tha t he continue as liaison officer ofthe American Church in Japan. Recently, a t the urgent request of the Japanese C hurch’s H ouse of Bishops, which was approved by Bishop Sherrill and the N ational Council, F r. V iall became w arden of C entral Theological Col­lege, Tokyo. N ow the bishops have petitioned and re­ceived permission from the C hapter for F r. V iall to be consecrated assistant bishop. H e is the first foreign priest ever elected to the episcopate by the Synod of N ippon Sei Ко Kwai. H e was consecrated in A pril.

Insidious Fifth ColumnCharleston, S.C.— Bishop Thom as H . W rig h t, preach­

ing in St. M ichael’s Church, saying tha t M arx ian Com­munism can best be fought by a spiritual awakening within the Christian Church, used these w ords:

“T h is hostility to religion, however, is not as great a danger to the Christian church as is the danger from indifference at home. T h e indifference of Christians to their own religion is the m odern fifth column, insidiously w orking from w ithin to destroy the Christian church.”

H ow true they are. H ow sorrow fully true they are. N ot among the roughnecks, not among the thieves and thugs, not among the ignoramuses and morons, are all the “ indifferent.”

A great proportion of them are among the well-to-do, the cultivated, the revelers in the “Am erican S tandard of L iving,” the social and political leaders, the elite.

T h e w orld is not a “prison house” but a kind of spiritual kindergarten where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell God w ith the w rong blocks.

The Breviary— containing the C alendar, Rubrical direc­tions, Psalms, H ym ns, Collects, Lections, etc., to be said at several hours of prayer during the day.

T h e M issa l— containing its own C alendar and Rubrics and ritual directions; together w ith the service of Holy Communion, or “ M ass,” w ith In tro its, Collects, Epistles and Gospels.

The M a n u a l— containing the Special Offices, i.e., the Baptismal Service and other “Occasional Services.”

The Pontifical— containing the services w ith which a Bishop has most to do, i.e., O rdination Service, Consecra­tion Service, etc.

These four books were voluminous and intricate, each one longer than our whole P rayer Book.

T here were developed various “ Uses” of these manuals according to the practices in different parts of the Church. One Bishop and Diocese often made changes, o r integrated Rubrics in different fashion.

T h e Sarum Use was chief of these, draw n by Osmond, Bishop of Salisbury, in 1805.

T h e Y ork Use was still another.Prim ers— books containing “hour” services— Litany,

the L o rd ’s Prayer, the T e n Com mandm ents, etc., to be used at different hours were issued from time to time.

T h e English Reform ation had two prime objectives:(a) T o publish an English Bible, or a Bible in English.(b) T o publish an English Service Book.

T yndale’s Bible appeared in 1515; Coverdale’s in 1535; M atthews’ in 1537, and the G rea t Bible in 1539.

In 1540, a P salter in Latin and English was put in use; in 1544 a L itany in E nglish ; and in 1547, a Communion Service, which was prepared and put in use in 1548.

T h e L atin Service Books w ere streamlined in 1516, 1531, and 1547.

T h e first real English P rayer Book was used in 1549, during the reign of E dw ard V I. I t was a modified form of the Sarum Use, including the Breviary, M issal, M anual and Pontifical in one.

Several “ revisions” follow ed: one in 1552, another in 1558, another in 1604, another in 1637, and a great revision in 1662.

O ur American P rayer Book is based, of course, on the English P rayer Book.

A t first, the English P rayer Book was used, the first service probably being read in 1579 by the Chaplain of Sir Francis D rake’s ship, “T h e G olden H inde,” as it lay off the coast where San Francisco is now.

T he American Revolution naturally forced several changes— prayers for the K ing and Queen of England

For the first tim e in history an Archbishop of Y ork w ill speak in a Mormon Tabernacle. The great building at Salt Lake City, U tah, has been offered to Bishop Stephen СІагк, of Utah, together w ith the famous Tabernacle Choir, for a mass meeting on September 23, jus t before the opening of the Episcopal Church’s General Convention at San Francisco, where the Archbishop, the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon. C yril Forster Garbett, w ill be guest of honor. The Mormon Tabernacle was offered by President George A lbert Sm ith of the Church of the L atte r Day Saints, who w ill speak briefly , welcoming the congregation, many of whom w ill be enroute to the General Convention.

w ere not regarded w ith great favor! T h e Convention of 1789 adopted officially our first P rayer Book.

Additions were "made' in 1792, 1799, and 1804. Re­vision was first accomplished in 1892, and the final re­vision in 1928 gave uV our" P rayer Book as it is now.

T o be able to use our P ray er Book intelligently, you should familiarize yourself w ith the first portion— the directions for use. T h is usage follows the C hurch year and enables you to follow in private or corporate worship the practice of the whole Church.

T h e P rayer Book provides for the Christian Life from Baptism to Instruction, to Confirmation, to marriage, to childbirth, for sickness and through death.

I t is a “norm ” and standard for us all. N o t one m an’s w ords; not one m an’s prayers; not one m an’s faith— but the words and prayers and faith of ages long gone by.

In the section on Fam ily Prayer, we find the greatest help for our personal devotions. In times of stress and strain, in joy or tragedy, in need of guidance and patience •— here are set forth the beautiful and intim ate prayers which make our C hurch live in us and we in her.

Wants Members of Clergy to Study Business Administration

Pittsburgh, P a.— Officials of the Episcopal C hurch’s Diocese of P ittsburgh are concerned about the ta len t or lack of talent for business, displayed by the clergy. In an effort to remedy this weakness they have adopted a reso­lution saying tha t “T h e Board of:T rustees of the Diocese of P ittsburgh, and the D epartm ent of Missions, urgently recommend tha t a course in business adm inistration of at least one semester’s duration, be included in theological seminary curriculums, and tha t the Bishop is hereby re­quested to send a copy of this resolution to the Episcopal seminaries.”

Suggestions fo r FuneralsB y the R t . R ev . Benjamin D . D a g w e l l

C hurch families should make arrangem ents w ith their clergyman and ask him to direct the undertaker in the proper conduct of a religious ceremony.

T h e choice of music should be discussed w ith a Christian minister rather than left to the uncertain taste of a funeral parlor musician.

T h e time for the service should be set w ith the rector of your parish. F requently the m ortician.calls the minister after all announcements are published and we must break other appointments or allow a stranger to officiate at the last rites of a faithful parishioner or devoted friend.

T h e P rayer Book service for the Burial of the Dead makes no provision for a sermon or eulogy. T h e mantle of charity should cloak the human frailities of the de­parted and their good deeds w ill shine in this dark world w ithout the polishing words of a Parson.

T h e alternative we face of avoiding reference to the deceased and preaching to the family and mourners on the shortness and uncertainty of hum an life seems quite unfair. F or sinner and saint alike the C hurch offers the same service w ith its assurance of im m ortality through the merits and atoning sacrifice of Jesus C hrist who died for us all.

F lo ra l displays seem sadly out of place in a society which lacks adequate care for its crippled and orphaned children, and its sick and aged citizens. Flowers are beautiful em­blems of friendship and sympathy and they bring courage to the sick and com fort to the bereaved. B ut coach loads of blossoms heaped on a cemetery lot or placed briefly in a funeral crypt seem tragically futile.

L et us remember tha t the body is buried or cremated because it is corruptible. T h a t which is im portant in your life and mine is our im m ortal soul.

Church Strangely S ilen tT h e greatest and most serious issue before the whole

world and the particular concern of the U nited States, finds the C hurch as a whole strangely silent. T h e w orld apparently is w illing to commit suicide as the only solu­tion for its trouble. W e talk about peace but all our preparations are for w ar. T h e U nited N ations is the only instrument for peace we have, and it could be so much, but so far it has been too feeble. T h ere are many advo­cates of a preventative w ar so-called; th a t is, they advocate using atomic energy to destroy all those who do not agree with us before they have an opportunity to destroy us. “They that take the sword w ill perish w ith the sw ord,” Christ once said. W as he a plain fool ( I speak reverently), or were his w ords wise unto salvation? Those who advo­cate a preventative w ar seem to see an idylic period of happiness and harmony where all w ill think alike and be brothers after a short superblitz. Business w ill be as usual if we can get rid of half the hum an race. W ou ld Christ, does C hrist prescribe such methods to solve our awesome problems? I think not. I t is not necessary to appease the devil, nor on the other hand is it necessary to tru st in the works of the devil, to bring about some supposed good. Believe it or not, he w ill still be w ith us when it is all over and we have done his work. I believe tha t the present world problems can be solved more perm anently and w ith infinitely less cost and disaster if we publicize peace as much today as we publicize a preventative w ar and frantic­ally strive to arm ourselves and the whole w orld. In our hearts as Christians we know this is right and in our hearts we know another w ar is wrong. T o all places in our land they are still bringing thousands of bodies of those who died in the last w ar and are not yet buried. G od help us if our testimony for C hrist in this regard is the bleating of a feeble flock.

Sees Over-Specialization In Some Universities

N ew Haven, Conn.— Bishop N orm an B. Nash, head of the Episcopal Diocese of M assachusetts, told Yale undergraduates tha t “ too many universities fail to be a real community of learning because there is too little con­fidence tha t tru th is one.”

“ In many places,” the Bishop said, “instead of real universities able to give youth a sense of m eaning and direction for their lives we have aggregations of specialists who talk the jargon of their own fields, but cannot inte­grate their specialties w ith a whole w orld view.” Bishop Nash advocated a realistic religious appraisal of the w orth in others, as “children of G od,” as a way to keep a healthy hum ility and perspective for a useful life, and commended Y ale’s attem pts to “ restore religion to its true place as creator of values, w ithout which the search for tru th is of small meaning.”

Mite Box Service . . .T h e following am ounts have been received from our

churches for their M ite Box O ffering. T h e Bishop pre­sented each C hurch w ith a certificate stating the am ount given and w ith the seal of the Diocese and his signature, so tha t Sunday Schools might have recognition for their effort.

THE BADGE OF SERVICE

Between Haw aii and the m ainland sources of supply stretch some2,000 miles o f ocean. A bridge of steamships and airplanes spans this distance, b y which the necessities and comforts of life are laid d ow n in Hawaii.

Our business is to purchase these supplies, arrange fo r their trans­portation here, p rov ide warehouse starage space, and dis tribute them p ro m p tly and efficiently to the retail trade.

To purchase these huge supplies and bring them across the ocean re­quires large financing. So do warehouse buildings and yards. A b il i ty to gauge the needs of the public takes knowledge arul long experience in the merchandising field.

This service is only one of those p erform ed b y us in Hawaii. In the insurance field, and as agent fo r sugar and pineapple plantations, we perform other im portant and necessary services.

To do these capably, prom p tly and in the best interests of the com ­munity , is the po licy of the firm.

W herever you see this emblem, you m a y know that this po licy stands behind it. That is w h y w e call that emblem . . . “ our badge of service.”
