Powerplus Canvassing in Hawaii

By Ching; Rowland

CHING AND ROWLAND
With our up-to-date powerplus motor cycles, the message of the soon-coming Saviour is carried to the homes of Hawaiians, Americans, Englishmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and to those of many other nationalities.
Much of our canvassing is done during the latter part of the day. While the men are at home, it is possible to take orders. Prosperity has come to Hawaii, due to the present high price of sugar, and now is the best time to place our truth-filled literature in the homes.
The majority of the people on the island love pleasure, and are inclined to be hospitable. Among the primitive Hawaiians, Mormonism seems to flourish, but the majority are Catholics.
The book, “The Great Controversy,” has so stirred many minds that one priest commanded his followers to burn the books. To our knowledge a few families are contemplating keeping the Sabbath. Brother and Sister Robert McKeague are the only Bible workers in the island. We are very glad to be able to suggest to the sick whom we meet in our work that they try the treatments given by these graduate nurses. This opens the way to gain a hearing for the gospel message. The medical work of the treatment-rooms enables the colporteur to place books in many homes which would otherwise be closed to him.
We earnestly crave an interest in your prayers for the advancement of the truth in this part of the Master’s vineyard.
