Honolulu

By C. D. M. Williams

SOME weeks ago we started tent-meetings in one part of the city. Although we did not get much of a hearing, some interest has been manifested, and some are now taking Bible readings, and may yet take their stand for the truth. Since then we have moved the tent to another part of the city, and are having a better attendance. The language question is a great obstacle here; in some places there are Portuguese, Hawaiians, Chinese, and Porto Ricans; and while some of them understand a little English, many do not get enough to create an interest, so it is necessary to have an interpreter most of the time.
We have good news from our brethren on the other island, Hawaii. They seem to be presenting the truth, and are earnestly asking for some one to come and start the work. While we have more than we can do here, I think I must visit them this year, and do what I can to encourage them.
We so much need help here, especially in the other languages; if we had some one with us who would speak the Hawaiian, we could get much nearer to the people. We ask an interest in your prayers, that the blessing of the Lord may rest upon this part of his vineyard.
