In tho mlddlo or tho day, when men nnd women
tako their siesta. Hours of business are what
they aro in Now York or Chicago, and life Is
planned too completely perhaps along northern
lines. In Honolulu men go usually to their clubs
to luncheon tho Pacific, tho University or the
City club talk business and hurry back to a
long afternoon In tholr offices. These clubs, it Is
rnlr to sny. aro delightfully arranged buildings
with windows on all sides to catch any breeze.
Of them the oldest Is tho Pacific, formerly the
British club, on Alaeka street. Tho house has
broad verandnB on both floors and large, cool
rooms. Tho University club, moro especially a
resort of youngor men, has a pretty cottago near
the Hawaiian hotel. Its membership Includes a
largo number of army and navy officers, grad
uates of West Point and Annapolis, as well as
men from American, English and German univer
sities. The City club, much more inclusive In
membership, is In a business block In the center
of tho town. There are also of course, as In all
American cities, lodges of various orders, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Elks and Bed Men.

Tenuis court near the Executive building or the
various athletic fields and the bathing beaches
at Waiklkl are the meeting places of society. At
night there or dlnaan, dancaa and bridge par

light surfing and swimming parties. Thero Is no
particular social season In Honolulu. More peo
ple aro out of town In summer, but on tho other
hand that is tho time when boyB are at home
with their friends from American colleges, and
they must bo entertained day and night. This,
therefore, Is the time to see more of the distinc
tively Hawaiian forms of amusement.
The ancient dances, or "hulas," are not often
seen, both because tho art of dancing Is being
lost and because many of the dances, In the
motions, which make them up and In the words
which accompany them, are, from a civilized
point of view, Indecent. Some of them are occa
sionally given In an expurgated form at the
vaudeville theaters or certain selected dances, as
"entertainment after private "luaus," and no op
portunity to seo them should be neglected. They
are often marvelouBly graceful moro so thaa

poetical and quite In a claBB by themselves. .
Of good theaters the Islands aro destitute. An

have nover been In tho Orient, howover, there

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 9.
ABSTINENCE FOR OTHERS' 8AKE.
(World's Temperance Sunday.)
LESSON TEXT-Kotn. 14:7-21.
GOLDEN TEXT-"H Is not good to ent
flesh, nor to drtnk wtne, nor to do any
thing whereby thy brother ttumbleth."
Rom. 14:21.
Paul was In Corinth, a city of lux
ury, learning and licentiousness when
he wrote this letter to the believers In
Rome, a letter of profound logic and
ethics as well as a profound etudy In
psychology and philosophy.
I. None of us llveth to himself,"
w. 7-11. Paul begins this chapter by
giving a caution ae to doubtful dispu
tations, "Judgments upon thoughts,"
whether it be In the matter of eating
herbB or meats, or In tho observance
of Bet days. Who are wo but fellow
servants (v. 1) of God? About such
things an habits and observance ol
days wo must each bo assured In our
own mliidy, (v. G), but whllo that la
true yet, "nono llveth to himself"
(v. 7), for "wo are tho Lord's" (v. 8).
lie Is tho universal Lord, both of tin
living and tho dead, (v. 9). What folly,
therefore, for any believer to set him
self up in judgment upon his brother.
Four Things Suggested.
II. "Glvo an account to God," w.
12-18. Verse 12 suggests four things:
(1) A universal summons, "each ono
of us," great and email, obscure or fa
mous, each ono must appear, nona
overlooked, nono excluded, none ex
cused. (2) A particular summons,
"each one of us," not en masao, but
as separate units. (3) A purposeful
summons, "to glvo account," not of
others but each of himself. It will not
be "blind Justlco" that shall await u
there, but a holy God, one who knows
all, sees all, overy thought and Imagi
nation of the human heart (Gen. 6:6)
and whoso Judgment will be righteous.
(4) A rightful summons, because of Its
source, "before God," and shall not the
Judge of the whole earth do right?
No excuse because of tho failure of
others will avail, no subterfuge be ac
ceptable, "strict justice" will condemn.
Man-made laws and ordinances at to
what we eat or what days we may ob
serve wilt then be revealed In the
white light of the God whose name la
love. In the light of such a prospect
how pertinent therefore that we turn
(v. 13), from Judging others and look
well to our own conduct, lest that con
duct become a rock of stumbling to
other and weaker brethren.
Another Law.
III. "Follow after things which makt
for peace," w. 19-23. To follow that
which shall edify Is to exercise the
"law of liberty." James In his epistle
(1:25, 2:12) tells us to look Into this
law and to continue therein for by it
we shall bo judged, yet thero is still
another law, "the royal law" (2:8,
Matt. 22:3040), the fulfilling of which
will settle every question of man's re
lation to man. We should bo use our
liberty that it bo not evil spoken of

Because of tho lack of literature thero Is no
way to get any ' permanent Impression of the
charm of Hawaii except by a visit. Its history
one can read and can appreciate If ono Is able to
adopt In tho readlng-a sympathetic point of view.
The fact that thoroughly American Ideals per
vade all phases of Island Industry, of modes of
living and or social Intercourse may be accepted
and theoretically believed. But the Hawaiian
flavor, with which these Ideals are subtly Im
pregnated and that Insensibly affects all who
have lived there, is something Indescribable,
something which seems to, emanate from' the
misty hills, the whispering waters, the exquisite
vegetation, the low voices of the people. All thla
may be grasped only through the senses. The
eyes roust see from the shores at Walklkl the
bright carpet of water beyond which Diamond
Head so proudly stands at the gateway of the
world beyond. The ears must catch the melody j
of Hawaiian song and tne swisn or the wind in
the palms. Tho scent of stephanotls and plu
marla and ginger must strike one as it steals
through the hibiscus hedges around secluded gar
dens. The whole body must respond to, the ten
der caress of trade winds that have blown across
a thousand miles of warn ocean. Only this Is

it to oat meat shall cause my brother
to stumble or to bo mado weak (v. 21)
"I will eat no flesbfor evermore,"
I. Cor. 8:13.
All of this leads up to tho true prin
ciple of total abstinence as revealed
in verse 21, "It Is good not to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do
anything whereby thy brother stum
bloth or is offended." This does not
alone apply to the Great American
Juggernaut, the commercialised liquor
trafllc, which, according to tho United
States Supremo court, has no legal
ground upon which to stand. Whon
the members of the church of God
in this "land of liberty" shall each
bo governed by this principle It will
not bo long before tho liquor problem
any many other questions that are
troubling ua will be sottled. Tho real
question will not bo "Is it wrong?"
but rather, "How will It affect my
brother?" All meats are clean, we
know that Acts 10:15, but we also
know that many' cannot eat, cannot
participate in our acts, with a clear
conscience' because In so taking part
there comes before the mind of the
weaker brother the evil associations
and practices which ao frequently ac
company such acta or such eating.
Our indulgence, no matter how inno
cent and entirely harmless it may be
to us, is thereforo not to be thought
of. Thia settles the drink question.

For once teach a temperance leseon
not on the ground of the harrowing
effects of this awful traffic, but try to
show that intemperance la largely the
result of selfishness. Show how less
selfishness in our social relations
would help to keep men away from
the saloon. Less selfishness In money
would keep us from accepting bloody
tax money. Less selfishness on ths
part of churches by activities during
the week would keep children and
young people from growing famlliai
with and finally embracing tho mon
