H e sat in pew s of m issions in A rizona and N ew Y o rk ; parishes in A nnapolis, B altim ore, P hiladelphia and N ew Y o rk and has yet to find a com fortable pew. H e talked w ith an em inent architect of the C hurch Com m ission on A rchitecture and discovered th a t little thought has been given such a subject. T h e firs t conclusion is th a t w e in H aw aii m ight well do a little investigation on this subject provided it is thought th at the sitter m ight be given a break. T h e second conclusion is th a t despite the discom fort of the average pew a heap o f people are sitting in them all over th e country. F ro m the glories o f the G rand Canyon one day to a m odest little m ission in W illiam s, A rizona, the next, m ight seem to som e a descending scale, b u t to this clergym an and his son it w as quite the reverse for the w onder of God came upon the A lta r of th a t tiny C hurch and hearts w ere filled w ith splendor.

W e will have to stretch our im aginations and our love and o ur m oney no doubt to assist th a t stalw art C hurch. W e m ight well think about this now. A s the object o f the trip, despite the headline, w as to see a son enter the N aval A cadem y we will leave the read er a t the glorious Chapel set in the center o f the Y ard a t A nnapolis. T h e very center of th a t noble building is th e w indow depicting C hrist upon the w aters. T h is Chapel has been enlarged so th a t the en tire R egim ent can attend services in a body. A bove these fine boys is another w indow, a newly com m issioned E nsign and behind him is C hrist.

T his has been done w ith g reat artistic effect, and in a deeply devotional spirit, in H oly nnocents C hurch, L ahaina, M aui, by the visiting N ew Y ork artist, D el os Blackmar, w ho is th e house guest of the Rev.

T he three low er panels of the altar, once o rd in ary celotex, now contain three symbolic figures.

T o bring to m ind the spread of the Gospel, the panels of the pulpit contain the ancient H aw aiian birds the A papane, O u, iw i, M am ao and Oo, the feathers of w hich w ere used in cerem onial cloaks, kahilis and leis. H e re again the background is T i and sky, giving the effect of the birds flying above the earth. T he m ural is com pleted finally w ith H aw aiian foliage, clouds and rainbow, around and above the entrance door of the Church. T hus the artist has created scenes of beauty, in the belief th at a people would naturally picture the S aviour and H is M other in the form of people of their own race; their sta ff of life as foods of their country, and their decorations or offerin g s as those trees and flow ers found in native environm ent. nterested visitors w atching the a rtist a t w ork discussed the m ural w ith him.

By a fo rtunate chance, a sum m er excursion steam er stopped at T ahiti, th u s enabling the K ellum boy to com e to H onolulu d irect; otherw ise he would have been com pelled to travel from T ah iti to H onolulu either by way of the P an am a C anal or by N ew Zealand.
