Hawaiian Islands

By F. H. Conway

F. H. CONWAY

The work of the third angel's message is onward in these beautiful islands. Since the beginning of the year, nine persons have been baptized, and fifteen have begun to keep the Sabbath.

We have just received from the press an edition of “Helps to Bible Study” in the Hawaiian language, which we hope will bring the truth to many of these dear people.

The first year's school was a prosperous one. It was supported by contributions. The school closed with all bills paid, and a small surplus in the treasury, and we have just begun the new school year with encouraging prospects. It seems we must have larger quarters for our school another year.

We sent three of our young men to the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists and one to San Fernando Academy. There are now fourteen of our young people in training at our colleges, academies, and sanitariums on the mainland.

The book work is growing in our mission. The General Conference has recently informed us that our field missionary agent is to arrive early in October. This good news causes our hearts to rejoice, as this will doubtless mark a new era in the scattering of our truth-filled literature in the islands.

We have workers on only two of the eight inhabited islands. We must have representatives of this message on the other islands, in order to finish the work. In crowded Adventist centers there are many families of our people whom the Lord could use to his glory as self-supporting missionaries in such places.

There are homesteads to be had, where our people could make a living and spread the truth. Any who hold public school certificates and are teaching in public schools could find employment here at good salaries, as teachers are scarce.

If any of our brethren and sisters who read this have a burning desire to help finish the work as self-supporting missionaries, we should be glad to correspond with them regarding work here in these beautiful islands.
