St. Elizabeth’s Boy Is Awarded For Heroism

B ertram Napaepae, J r ., a member of St. E lizabeth’s Church, H onolulu, was given much praise by G overnor Ingram Stainback, when he presented him w ith a w rist watch donated to him by M r. Louis Stambler. T h e pres­entation was made at Iolani Palace. T h e thirteen year old Aiea school boy saved tw o young brothers from drow n­ing last month, at W ahiaw a. A modest “ thank you, sir,” was B ertram ’s reply of gratitude.

T h e watch was only one of many honors bestowed upon him. T h e W ahiaw a Lions Club gave him a certi­ficate as honorary captain of life guards, a fountain pen, and A loha shirt. October 8th the American Legion presented him w ith its life saving medal. Soon after the rescue, the boy was recommended for the Carnegie H ero medal by Delegate Joseph R. F arrington, but the Founda­tion regretfully turned down the aw ard. Its charter restricts aw ards to the m ainland, Canada, the colony of N ew foundland and the w aters thereof.

B ertram plunged into the W ilson stream, near W a ­hiawa, and saved the tw o boys, Roger 11 and A rthu r D ragon 8, afte r their home-made outrigger canoe cap­sized. T h e ir father drowned in the accident.

Episcopal Young People Prepare To Observe Youth Sunday, October 15

D em onstra te Place of Y ou th in Church's L ife— M a k e Offering

Y outh Sunday is annually observed on the th ird Sun­day in O ctober as an occasion for recognition of young people in the life of the Episcopal Church. Young people of the Anglican Communion in all parts of the world join in special activities to m ark the observance.

Reports of past years show that there are almost as many forms of observance as there are Episcopal parishes and missions in this country and in other parts of the world. However, the central emphasis is placed on youth as a part of all the life and w ork of the Church and not as a special group whose interests are separate from the main stream. Young people take active part in the chief service held in their churches on this day. I t is not at all unusual for a young person to make the address, using the opportunity to tell of the w ork which young people are doing locally and world-w ide in the extension of C hrist’s Kingdom. Parents and other adults see young people in action and are reminded of the very real role which they play in the Church in action every day.

As a symbol of their desire to assist their fellow young people, an annual O ffering for some special project is received on Y outh Sunday. T h e project is chosen by the young people who are members of the N ational Youth Commission on the basis of emergency need. T h is year’s project is C hrist Church Academy, Colon, Panam a, a school which is in desperate need of a new building to enable it to carry on a valuable w ork begun more than 50 years ago.

T h e Rev. Canon Richard M . Trelease, J r ., D irector of Y outh for the Diocese, announces a Y outh Rally for all Churches on O ahu will be held Sunday, October 15th, at 7:30 p.m., at H oly T rin ity Church. A ll young people are urged to attend. Sunday m orning our Churches in H aw aii w ill have Corporate Communion services for their young people.

In MemoriamO ne of the most beloved members of St. A ndrew ’s

C athedral entered into the life eternal w ith the passing of M rs. Abbie Greene, who died September 9th. Affec­tionately known as “ N ana ,” she was one who gave forth the gentle strength that comes from walking w ith the M aster. In knowing her one was always reminded of that lovely hymn for children, “ I sing a song of the saints of G od.” “T hey lived not only in ages past. T here are hundreds and thousands still. T h e w orld is bright with the joyous saints W h o love to do Jesus’ w ill. You can meet them in school . . . In C hurch . . . or at tea. For the saints of God are just folk like me, A nd I mean to be one too.”

W e give her back to Thee , D e a r God, who gaves t he r to us. Yet as T h o u didst not lose h e r by g iv ing, so we have not lost her by her re tu rn . Not as the w o r ld g iveth, giveth T h o u , О Lover of Souls. W h a t T h o u g ive th T h o u T a k e th not aw ay , fo r w h a t is T h in e is ou r a lw ays , if we are T h in e . L ife is e te rn a l ; love is im m orta l , d ea th is only a h o r izon ; an d the hor izon is no th ing save the limit of ou r sight. L if t us up, s t rong Son of God, tha t w e m ay look fu r th e r ; c leanse ou r eyes th a t w e m ay see m ore c lear ly ; d r a w us closer to T h y se l f th a t we m ay know ourse lves ; and closer to ou r beloved w ho a re w i th T hee . P r e p a re us for th a t h a p p y place th a t w h ere they are , an d T h o u ar t , we too m ay be; th ro u g h Jesus C hr is t o u r L ord . Amen.

Alexandre Dum as once requested the prayers of his old teacher. “ M y prayers?” said the abbe. “You don’t believe in them .”

“No, I don ’t always believe in them. T h a t is very tru e ; but don’t w o rry : when I need them I w ill believe in them.” — Gamaliel Bradford, A N atura lis t of

Souls, H otighton M if f l in Co.

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary ObservedT h e Venerable H enry A. W illey, D . D ., retired

Archdeacon of Kauai, and devout Vicar of A ll Saints’ C hurch for many years, was accorded particular honor on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the found­ing of this mission. I t was through his efforts and that of his wife tha t the mission w ork on Kauai plays such a part today in the life of our Church in H aw aii. U nder their leadership the spiritual grow th and physical property of the mission grew and flourished. C hrist Church, K ila­uea, and St. Jo h n ’s Church, Eleele, were also the fruits of his labor.

Since Archdeacon W illey was retired because of ill health, he and M rs. W illey have lived in Lihue. O n the program for the service was printed, “ H e continues to offer his prayers for the advancement of the w ork of A ll Saints’ and we lift our hearts and voices to A lm ighty God in thanksgiving for his nearly twenty-five years of inspired service which the Archdeacon considered it a privilege to give to the C hurch on the Island of K auai.”

O n this same day, September 24th, the Bishop in­stalled the Venerable N orm an R. A lte r as Priest-in- charge of A ll Saints’ C hurch and Archdeacon of the Island of Kauai. Assisting at this service was the Reverend Kenneth T . Cosbey of St. Jo h n ’s Church, Eleele.

Follow ing the service a luncheon was served in the Parish H all for the many guests who gathered for this occasion.

W oman’s A uxiliary Day was a most successful one for the Diocesan Auxiliaries, held at M okuleia on Saturday, Sep- ember 16th. Mrs. H arry J. Mattson presided. The Bishop and Mr. S tew art Cushman spoke to the women in the m orn­ing session, and M r. W a lte r Kau spoke on Church Music in the afternoon.

T h e Reverend N orm an B. G odfrey arrived in H ono­lulu September 13th, from M assena, N ew York, and has enrolled in the language departm ent of the U niversity of H aw aii, where he is taking fu rthe r courses in Japanese in preparation for his w ork on Okinaw a. H e is also taking private tu toring in order to better prepare himself for the great task that lies ahead of him.

As soon as the House of Bishops sounds the clear signal, the Rev. M essrs: N orm an B. G odfrey and W il­liam C. H effner w ill sail for O kinaw a to open missionary w ork under the direct supervision of a missionary bishop of the Church. In a memorandum which he presented to a meeting of the O kinaw a committee of the Foreign M is­sions Conference, held in N ew Y ork on September 5th, Bishop Bentley, vice-president of N ational Council, made it clear that the Episcopal C hurch missionaries serving on O kinaw a would be missionaries of the C hurch and would have exactly the same status as that enjoyed by Episcopal missionaries serving in other fields overseas.

A t the meeting in N ew York, the Rev. M r. Godfrey promised cooperation w ith the other churches on O kinaw a in all possible areas.

T h e C hurch’s mission on O kinaw a w ill not be spon­sored by the O kinaw a Committee, as is the M ethodist missionary, who has been there since last w inter. T h e M ethodist is the only missionary sent so far in response to a plea for missionary assistants from O kinaw a Chris­tians to leaders of American Churches. H e arrived on the island 51 months after the plea was issued and 28 months after the American m ilitary government removed restrictions which prevented missionaries from landing on O kinaw a. H e is supported by the M ethodist Church, but works under the O kinaw a Com m ittee of the Foreign Missions Conference. T h e O kinaw a Christians strongly urged the establishment of a united C hurch on the Island.

T h e O kinaw a Committee of the Foreign Missions Conference proposed that the Episcopal C hurch contri­bute missionary personnel and funds to the committee,

which they would use in their missionary program. Bishop Bentley emphasized the fact that our C hurch would not play a part in having our missionaries lose their identity as our workers, and that they would be responsible to one of our bishops and under full obligation to be loyal to this Church.

Notes From Hawaii Episcopal AcademyAppreciation is expressed to M r. H enry W hite, Pres­

ident of the H aw aiian Pineapple Company, and M r. W . A. Cleghorn, of the same company, for the g ift of nine horses sent to the Academy for the use of students. It has been the dream of the Academy that some day we w ould have enough horses to meet the demand of the students, but we had not anticipated such a magnificent g ift as this. W e are deeply indebted to these men and the H aw aiian Pineapple Company for the horses and saddles. T hey were sent from the Island of Lanai. M r. Ronald von H o lt was good enough to see that they were transported from the ship to the school. M r. Richard Penhallow , of the Parker Ranch, provided extra pasture for them.

F R O M A S O L D IE R IN T H E F A R E A S T . W ehave been reading much about the effect of hoarding on our economy. From one of the men whom we remember every Sunday at the early service, by name, comes this poignant paragraph describing the effect of hoarding on our troops “over there” : “ I t is a terrible thought and sight to see all these youngsters going into battle . . . Yes, many a friend is paying the extreme sacrifice . . . B ut one thing in general seems to be the de-moralizing factor about these boys. T hey read in the papers that inflation and hoarding has begun again. W e read th ru the local H ono­lu lu Star-B ulletin, the soaring of prices and hoarding. A ll these are uncalled for, and we hope that this can be remedied soon.” I t is to be hoped . . . and we are sure it is true . . . tha t none of our Mission Fam ily is guilty. But the appeal of this soldier is not against hoarding, only . . . but ra the r against lack of faithfulness tow ard these men w ho are laying down their lives while things go on for us as if nothing was w rong in the w orld. One of the “outw ard and visible” ways we may dem onstrate our faithfulness is to come to the L o rd ’s House on Sunday to intercede on our knees for these men and for the cause of peace, and to witness to the w orld our commitment to the Prince of Peace.

advice given to parents of babies who yell in church, by the R t. Rev. Goodrich R. Fenner, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas.

Bishop Fenner approves of parishes operating nurse­ries during church services, but says that the crying child can “Knock the service'into a cocked hat. I ’ve never been able to compete w ith them. By the time M am a has de­cided to take the bairn hence— long after everybody else in the church has decided she should— it is too late. T he sermon is ruined, the attention of the congregation is lost and never regained. So, fond parents— this little rule of church etiquette. A t the first hoot, scoot.”

Island OntpostsT h e following fascinating article on his recent trip

to F uji has been w ritten by the Rev. Canon Frederick A. M cD onald, Rector of St. C lem ent’s Church, H ono­lulu. U nfortunately it has been greatly cut because of the limited space in our Chronicle. B ut let us travel to Fiji.

T h e Anglican Communion has three centers of great numerical strength where her adherents are to be num ­bered in the millions— the British Isles (30 ,000,000), the N orth American C ontinent (C anada and U .S.A ., 5,- 000,000) and the Antipodes (A ustralia and N ew Z ea­land, 3 ,000,000). Broad oceans separate the churches in these geographical groupings and have done much to re­tard the understanding and awareness of a common broth­erhood w ithin the same faith which should belong to us all. T h is sense of separation, however, is breaking down.

T h e bulk of the islands in the N orth Pacific are under the ecclesiastical care of the M issionary Bishop of H ono­lulu, T h e R t. Rev. H arry S. Kennedy, and those below the equator, on this N .E .-S .W . line, look to the Bishop of Polynesia, the Rt. Rev. Leonard Stanley Kempthorne, as their chief Pastor. Bishop Kem pthorne’s jurisdiction is in the G ilbert and Ellice Islands.

T h e C hurch’s w ork in H awaii is well known to the informed Churchm an in the U nited States. Probably only those Episcopalians who were found among the 30,000G .I .’s stationed in F iji between 1942 and 1946 could tell you very much about the Diocese of Polynesia.

Yet the visitor to Polynesia in this mid-century year would find much to surprise and intrigue him. H e would learn that the island clusters where the clergy minister are for the most part up-croppings of earth in 7 million square miles of ocean. O u r C athedral is located in Suva, the Capital of F iji. T h e F ijians are mostly M elanesians, but our Bishop is called the Bishop of Polynesia.

T oday’s traveler is sure to receive a hospitable greet­ing from the Kempthornes. Bishop Kem pthorne is a N ew Zealander. M rs. Kem pthorne is a C alifornian whose w arm welcome to Americans at the C athedral Service Center during the w ar is still appreciatively remembered by thousands. They have a daughter presently in Auck­land studying to be a N ursing Sister. T h e ir pleasant res­idence is situated on the top of a gardened knoll w ith fine outlooks tow ards the harbor, residential Suva, and the hill country island. T h e Bishop’s long Episcopate is now bearing the fruits of his steady, persistent attention to the opportunities and problems facing him these last twenty-seven years.

G reat possibilities for advance face the C hurch in Polynesia, and it is questionable whether in any part of the Anglican Communion there is the same like response of the average layman to do his part in realizing these opportunities. In Suva the community has made a fine

Eight Degrees Of CharityT h ere are eight degrees or steps in the duty of charity.

T h e first and lowest is to give, but w ith reluctance or regret. T h is is the g ift of the hand, but not of the heart.

T h e second is to give, cheerfully, but not proportionately to the distress of the sufferer.

T h e th ird is to give cheerfully, proportionately, but not until solicited.

T h e fourth is to give cheerfully, proportionately and even unsolicited but to put it in the poor m an’s hand, thereby exciting in him the painful emo.ion of shame.

T h e fifth is, to give in such a way that the distressed may receive the bounty, and know their benefactor, w ith­out their being known to him.

T h e sixth, which rises still higher, is to know the objects of your bounty, but remain unknown to them.

T h e seventh is still more meritorious, namely, to be­stow charity, in such a way that the benefactor may not know the relieved persons, nor the name of their bene­factor, as was done by our charitable forefathers during the existence of the Tem ple.

Lastly, the eighth, and the most meritorious of all, is to anticipate charity, by preventing poverty; namely to assist the reduced feilowman, either by considerable gift, or a loan of money, or by teaching him a trade, or by pu tting him in the way of business, so that he may earn an honest livelihood, and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity.

T o this Scripture alludes when it says: and if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay w ith thee then thou shalt relieve h im ; yea, though he be a stranger or a so jou rner; tha t he may live w ith thee. T h is is the highest step and summ it of charity’s golden ladder.

W hen you are in the right you can afford to keep your tem per; when you are in the w rong you can’t afford to lose it. — John Graham

response tow ards the N ew C athedral building which will replace the old fram e church erected, to serve temporarily, 64 years ago.

In Apia, Episcopalians have worshipped in theaters, courtroom s and houses. Now they are to have a church for the first time in the history of our w ork in Samoa.

T h e low-lying islands of T onga w ill always remain interesting to Churchm en in H aw aii because of the Apos­tolic labors of the second Bishop of H onolulu, the Rt. Rev. A lfred W illis who closed there the last 18 years at his ministry. H e took w ith him a young Chinese layman, Y . Sang M ark , who la ter studied for the M inistry and then returned to w ork w ith Bishop W illis and carry on after the Bishop’s death. T h e present venerable pastor of St. P ete r’s Church, H onolulu, is still fondly remem­bered in T o n g a where they keenly hope they may have the pleasure of a visit from him again.

M any of the denominations, especially in F iji, have

sought to lim it their evangelistic efforts to one element w ithin the population. H olding to a basic tru th of catho­licity Anglicanism has sought to minister to every group where the H ands of C hrist may add their blessing. Be­cause of the early and very courageous w ork of M ethodist Missionaries, nearly all the native Fijians are members of this Church. O ne cannot overstress the heroism of their early efforts. I t was the cannibalism of F iji and the Solomons which made the name of the Islands a word of terro r to early travelers. Brave Captain Bligh, when placed in a small boat by the Bounty mutineers, after weeks of open w ater sailing, found himself slipping past the green coasts of Fiji. H e desperately needed to put ashore to replenish food and w ater but that he dared not do. So many of the early M issionaries fell victim to these ferocious man-eaters tha t an old and rather sorry joke has it that the missionaries at last won the day by infil­tration! W hen, finally, the F ijian peoples under the lead­ership of their chiefs accepted Christianity as their faith they became loyal and resolute in their allegiance. Some of their leaders in recent years have sought the Anglican Church, notably the Commissioner for F ijian Affairs, H igh Chief Sir Lala Sukuna.

A t no point may the visiting Episcopalian be more proud of his Church than in its fearless championing of the position of the Solomon Islanders living in F iji. T heir history may make good m aterial for the w riters of ad­venture yarns but any hum anitarian must regard this as a shabby chapter in the history of human exploitation. 75 years ago plantation owners in F iji and A ustralia in their search for cheap labor would raid settlements in these northern islands, or lure the villagers out to their ships, clamp them in the hold, and sail away. T h is practice was known as “black birding,” and our heroic M arty r- Bishop, John Coleridge Patterson, was inadvertently m urdered by the very natives whom he was trying to save from such a fate. By the end of the last century, prac­tices had only changed in that these people w ere seduced into a lonely and unhappy state of peonage through more subtle methods. W ith the development of the “W hite A ustralia” policy those living on the Island Continent were removed and many of them dumped in F iji. H ere they became a people of no clan, in communities where tradition allowed only the Chief to speak, and they had no chief to speak for them. Significant honor belongs to Bishop Kem pthorne for the wise and statesman-like way he has spoken and acted for them. W est of Suva he has secured a large trac t of land on a 99 year lease, where any Solomon Islander may come w ith his family and build his bure (h u t) . T h ere is now a sizeable village here, named W ailoka, and Archdeacon H ands is the good shepherd who oversees the w ork of School, Hospital, and Church.

T h e redemptive character of the C hurch’s w ork is continuously being given fresh expression. Nonetheless, it seemed dram atically clearer to the w riter one day when

he worshipped w ith the Solomon Islanders in Levuka and the next day met the kindly and devout granddaughter of “B ully” Hayes, the most notorious of all the “black- birders.” W ith time, zeal and patience there is no situ­ation into which C hrist may not be introduced and win His own way.

T h is gives the Christian hope as he examines F iji’s most perplexing, festering problem— the place of the East Indian in F ijian life. Some few thousand were imported as indentured labor for the sugar plantation when the “black-birding” practices were being checked. T hey have multiplied w ith such rapidity that they now outnum ber

the Fijians. Today the H indus are a bitter, for the most part a hate-filled people— sm arting w ith their memories of evil treatm ent when they first arrived, and angry w ith the governmental rules which restrict their struggle for economic domination of the Islands. T hey consistently oppose British Rule, and there are those who hope that some day M other India w ill be the possessor of F iji. M ore disturbing in this moment of crisis, and possibly having a greater bearing on the fu ture of the Islands, is the small group of communists among the Indians and the larger group of those ready to sympathize w ith them. T h e hate of the H indu has been very largely responsible for his failure to reach his goals. H is highly selfish aim has alienated the sympathy of the friendly, Christian F ijian native, and placed government officials in an increasingly wary attitude. W h a t a change would be w rought if some of the arrogance and bitterness of these proud children of India could be displaced by the w onder that G andhi found in C hrist. Certainly, the C hurch of England holds that hope, for the H indu who has come into the Church already receives the w arm defense of the clergy who know well the sincerity and loyalty of those who follow the C hrist of the Indian Road. Bishop Kem pthorne has esta­blished a school under the care of two priests in Lambasa where the student population is largely Indian. T his may be the place for the w orking of a leaven of im­measurable consequences.

W hen the prophets and psalmists in old Israel spoke of Isles which Jehovah would claim for his own they must have been thinking of the dusty, shrub-covered ones found in the Eastern M editerranean. T h e C hurch in Polynesia toils for him who said to the Prophet Isaiah “Listen, О Isles, unto m e.” T h a t w ord has been spoken, heard and given sure lodgement in those islands below the line, and the unsearchable riches of C hrist are better known to many as a result of the missionary labors of the Church.
