Think About This

to reach the men, women and children who today are ignoring the church or looking upon it as an antiquated organization.

Nearly all Europe has now adopted the saving-daylight scheme. It seems to be about all there is for Europe to save. New York World.

Rural Church Workers Conference ! Men and institutions today are measured by EFFICIENCY. Inefficient men are discharged, inefficient institutions lose prestige, standing, power, and by natural law of retrogression become useless, impotent and finally disappear. Inefficiency, like a powerful anaesthetic, sometimes steals over a virile man or a strong organization. Unbeknown to the victims ' it robs them of their strength and faculties. To prevent the inroads of this potent agency of destruction, efficiency engineers' study men and organizations, discover the enervating and fatal weakness, work out. remedial plans, see that they are carried out, and thus bring about rehabilitation.

The problem resolves itself into one of social service work. If the church believes the religious principle that a person is saved to serve, it does not take a long flight of the imagination to see that the rural church must serve the community in which it is located.

Perhaps the RURAL CHURCH hitherto has limited its service to a mere pronouncement of re

ligious truths on Sundays and as a result has lost

its hold on the community during the week days. Our reading has convinced us that church experts find the rural church organization inefficient in this respect and are applying remedial measures tc correct the evil. A rural church workers' conference, such as is now being conducted at Earlham college, undoubtedly will suggest how religion is to be translated into terms of social service for rural communities. Pastors of rural churches and members of rural congregations will obtain guidance, inspiration and methods to. help them apply religion efficiently in their communities. The rural church is an institution of great potential powers. Efficient men and women can make it an aggressive instrument for social betterment and improvement.

-Civic "Slackers" The European war forced a responsibility upon every citizen of the belligerent nations. Every man and woman in any one of these nations is responsible for the outcome of the war. The citizen who tries to shirk his responsibility is a slacker.

Efficiency engineers are meeting at Earlham college today and tomorrow. The particular problem that is engrossing their attention is the RURAL CHURCH. Decades ago, the rural church was a powerful factor for good in the community. Today it has lost its energy, Its functioning ability is impaired, it is retrograding. So say persons who are acquainted with this department of church "work. We are not' interested in the ailments of the rural church. We accept the diagnosis of church men. They ought to know. They are acquainted with the institution. We, however, are vitally interested in the problem of restoring animation to the RURAL CHURCH. Hence, we welcome to the city the delegates who are studying the problem from the standpoint of efficiency, hoping thereby to make the church a force for higher and better living. A rural church occupies a pivotal place in rural community life. In isolated districts it often is the enly meeting farmers attend. Once a week, it brings them together at one place and for one purpose to worship God. The social element, of necessity, is relegated to the background, but one is not sacriligious in inferring

I hat the farmers gossip and exchange views-onj - Without wishing to be impious or to profane

ssctfar matters before and after the meeting. !a sacred season, we offer the suggestion that the

Foulke Talks With Native Lad Who Asks Questions About U. S.

There are slackers in Europe and there are

slackers in the United States. In making this observation we are not referring to the man who does not believe in PREPAREDNESS. We mean the slackers in the chairs in the cigar stores, on the street corners, .in the clubs and homes. We mean that MAN who fails to see his RESPONSIBILITY in providing clean, efficient government for his city. The man who indulges in destructive criticism about city officials and city plans, but has neither the nervo nor the patriotism to give a little of his thought, time and money to make the city better. Citizenship is a RESPONSIBILITY, but alas, the responsibility sits too lightly on our shoulders. We shove our individual duty on Tom; Dick and Harry, and then cuss because we do not get what we want. If we expect Tom, Dick and Harry to do our WORK, we must be satisfied with the way Tom, Dick and Harry do the job. .

ins prooitm oi in; rium tnurui wujtk. luuay, as we have been led to see it, is to extend the influence of the church so that it will galvanize the lives of the rural dwellsrs not only one day in the week but seven days. This task postulates a broader view of the

citizens of Jtucnmona during the Lent season, a period devoted to religious introspection and self-examination, seriously search themselves as to the interest they take in their RESPONSIBILITY as residents of this city. The revelation would astound them, and, if followed by an earn-

sphere and functions of the church and at the j est desire to do better, would redound to the wel-

cme time an erctsns'on of its departments so as

fare of this community.

' About 2 o'clock we heard the relief coming and in a second Bill was pacing solemnly up and down his beat and I had ducked Into my tent. I had never enjoyed anything so much In my life. Bill never told on me and I never told on him. So I do not think the discip

line of the regiment was greatly impaired by the little stretch we gave it. God will never be willing to give up Bill after he has once heard him laugh. Sincerely yours, ORAN PERRY.

. William; Dudley Foulke, who Is traveling la Honolulu has written the following letter to W, P. Robinson: I have been told that Kauai, "The Garden Isle" the most northern of the group, was the most beautiful of the

LSandwich Island. Comparatively few

tourists visit it. There is' a nasty little stretch of 6ea between it and Oahu and in the tiny steamers nearly everybody Is seasick. I took passage on the Maui, a small boat hardly big enough to awing a cat ln. Beds were laid for some of the passengers on the deck floor, but I was 'lucky enough to get one of the tiny staterooms. I was not ill but I could not sleep for the pitching and rolling, and at about two in the morning, the clatter of anchoring and lowering the boats made further efforts In that line useless. So I got off with the rest and bobbed op and down upon the waves between the rocks and the coral reefs, to the shore at Nawiliwili.

Finds Many Automobiles. There I found many automobiles. (A dealer told me he had never seen' even a large city where trade in this line was as active as here.) I made a bargain with a Japanese to take me in his Ford to Waimea, 28 miles away from which place I proposed to start for the Waimea canyon. He also procured a Chinaman as another passenger to a plantation on the way. It seemed at first rather uncanny to be riding alone with these Asiatic strangers on this unknown island in the small hours of the night, but the road was perfect, and about five in the morning the chauffeur landed me at the little country inn at Waimea. Here I found an English landscape painter of some distinction. " A Mr. Christmas, who was going V ftart with a guide up to the canyon at daybreak to make sketches. ! followed an hour later, after breakfast, with another guide, a young Hawaiian, who fode a horse that had an eye gouged out and stumbled terribly, falling with him on one occasion, on the rough trail. Rides on Strong Animal. The animal given to me however, was a strong, surefooted little beast and we started out, at first through cane fields, over muddy plantation roads, then on a little narrow gauge railway that brings the cane down to the seaboard. Here the horses had to pick their steps on the ties between the rails. ' It rained so hard a few days ago that the water stood a foot deep in the roads at Waimea and my guide told me that in his kitchen it was to his waist. But this morning was bright and beautiful. Later in the day, clouds came up and showers too, before us, behind us and off at one side but it never reached the precise place where we happened to be and for us the day was as perfect as one ever sees at this season. Soon we came to a place where they were shooting the sugar cane In exeat quantities through a drainage flume that came down from the mountains and loading it in cars on the little train-way. Here we left the hot plain and began to climb, at first up the side of a ravine that protected us from the sun. But the shade did not last long and as we emerged on top the Hawaiian cried, "Paul" a word which in their language means "That is the end of it" There we passed a small hamlet of little houses for the Japanese laborers then up through cane fields, then beyond the area of irrigation through tracts of prickly pear up to the edge of the lower stretches of the canyon where there waa a fine view of the group of mountains in the interior of Kauai, then up along the edge of the canyon (sometimes leaving it for a while), then returning to some fine viewpoint, and so on and on until nearly noon when we overtook the

painter and his guide the former making sketches of the canyon. Here we rested a while and then up for half an hour longer to a clump of trees near the summit of a mountain 3.60C feet high, where we remained for an hour or more, eating the lunch we had brought with us and enjoying the magnificent view. The air here was cool and delightful. The view resembles the Grand Canyon of Arizona. It is of course not so large. The Grand Canyon is a mile deep; this one is about half a mile down from tbe rim where we. stood. The Grand Canyon is 13 miles across; this one is only about three miles broad and it has not the white stratum of limestone above the red rocks end tbe still blacker ones below. But there are tbe same distinct horizontal strata, tbe came formations of pyramids and cliffs with a mountain btream below and there is one feature in which it is far superior to the Arizona Canyon and that Is tbe rich, green tropical foliage and verdure of many shades that creep out everywhere and gives a strange mystical beauty to the scene. Moresoever, the air, laden with moisture, gives it an opalescent char, acter, a tinge of what the poet Aldrich would call "vapory amethyst" which bathes it in a rich golden light., There are a number of tributary canyons here as in Arizona branching out from, tbe main one. and -as I lay flat on my stomach at the edge of the cliff and looked down on one of these, with the shadows of the passing clouds drifting across it, with its rocky walls and terraces and palm trees and African jungles, it seemed to me as if I had a glimpse of some new " Eden, as if I were looking through the gates of Paradise itself. Talks With Simple Youth. "My Hawaiian guide was a simple minded youth who bad never been outside the islands. He pointed out to me the wild turkeys, the wild pigs and other game and then asked me if we did not hunt wild pigs in San Francisco, when I told him no he said, "But you have wild beasts there of some kind." When I told him that wild beasts did not come to San Francisco he exclaimed, "What! Not lions, nor tigers, nor bears!" I explained that lions and tigers did not live In America but that we had some bears In tbe mountains. He asked how dangerous they were. I told that occasionally a man was killed by a bear but that this seldom occurred. He asked if we did not train them and said a man had come to Kauai with a trained bear and asked furthermore if we did not keep them in our houses! It il hard for an islander like this to know what the rest of the great world Is like. But it is equally bard for us to understand things out of our own sphere. For example, an American at Kilawea asked our guide if he didn't suppose that after 15 or 20 years that volcano would cool off and dry up! And I suspect that if we try to picture in fancy what life is upon another planet we would go even further astray and still more so when we try to imagine what life may be like beyond the grave. Way Proves Very Difficult. The way down to Wainea was far harder and more tedious than the way up. The path was in a bad state from the recent rains. I became stiff and sore and longed beyond expression for the end of the three hours and a half of toilsome descent and for a good comfortable bed at the inn. I came at

I returned to Honolulu on tbe Klnau, a vessel a little larger than the MauL The captain was an Irishman, a cousin of Lady Gregory's husband a wellknown "character" in the islands, a great talker with all sorts of amusing ancedotes and an excellent optimistic philosophy who looked upon life on its brighter and humaner side. He was a great admirer of. Roosevelt so there was a bond of sympathy between us and friendship sprung up at once. I spent most of the day on the bridge with him rounding tbe headlands of Kauai and anchoring first in one open roadstead and then another, to leave and take on passengers and freight At one place the waves entered a cave and were dashed out again in a huge geyser of spray 40 or 50 feet high. As we skirted the high cliffs on approaching Nawiliwili the scenery was peculiarly impressive. Tbe captain's conversation was most entertaining, embodying the experience of a life of much adventure and a good deal of reading and general information. He strained my credulity, however, when he announced as a result of careful researches, that St. Patrick was in fact none other than the Jeremiah who had made a journey to Ireland in the time of the Roman Emperor Titus! Next morning bright and early, I was back in Honolulu.
