Entered as second-class matter at the Honolulu Postoffice. Permission is given to republish articles from the Mid-Pacific Magazine. Honolulu is a modern American city of nearly seventy thousand population. Here all the races of the Pacific meet and mingle in perfect amity. Honolulu is at the cross roads of the ocean, and here the Pan-Pacific Conferences are held. U 4X, These buildings have stood since the days of the horse vehicle. Honolulu has been an American city from the early years, even when grass houses formed a large part of the city of natives, whalers and missionaries. It is but six miles from the city of Honolulu to the famous Pali, or precipice. In a half hour auto ride you ascend to an elevation of twelve hundred feet to look out over a mountain and ocean vista unsurpassed in any land. The Royal Palm has been adopted in Honolulu as the ideal for grace and majesty in laying out avenues leading from the street to the home that is hidden amid a mass of sub-tropical foliage. The boy and the surf board are the chief attractions at Waikiki. Today the surf board is much larger than the small boy, as may be seen. In the olden days the board was not more than six feet in length, but it would ride before the largest waves. The Hula Girl is still to be met with in Honolulu. She is usually an acquaintance of the tourist, although the Hawaiians at their luaus, or native feasts, are still given to the enjoyment of the ancient hula-hula. The Hawaiian girl of today is often attractive in face and feature. Usually she is robed in a simple gown that is directly descended from the old Mother Hubbard that became the national dress of the Hawaiian women. Many of the private yards in Honolulu are veritable forests of sub- tropical growth. Coconut trees, ferns and creeping vines vie with each other in beauty. tr • The ancient Hawaiian who does not speak English is occasionally met with in Honolulu. She wears the old Mother Hubbard and is simple in her tastes. Fish and poi are her chief delight. 4,* t5e._ There are many churches in Honolulu. The most picturesque of these is the cathedral of the Church of England, the tower of which is here seen half hidden by the branches of a monkey-pod tree. 9 llllllllll 1061111 The algaroba tree, brought to Hawaii from the Holy Land nearly a century ago, is the most common and useful of all of the trees in Hawaii. It is used for avenues that provide a gentle shade. Hawaii is a land of waterfalls. Within an hour's walking distance of Honolulu and even in the city limits are numerous beautiful cascades and waterfalls that men would travel many miles to see in any other land. Almost every native Hawaiian is a fisherman, and they may be seen on the Honolulu beaches and along the reefs plying the calling of their ancestors with net and spear and at night with glaring torches to procure the sea food that is their chief diet. One of the interesting customs of Honolulu is the decorating of visitors with leis, or ropes of flowers. An, hour before the steamer leaves such scenes as this are common on the busiest corners of Honolulu. Duke Kahanamoku, the world's fastest swimmer. makes his home in Honolulu and he may be seen daily in the surf at Waikiki on his surf board speeding before the waves that roll in at the Honolulu beach resort.

    2021 TRANS-FORMTrans Pacific Union Newsletter 01, Jan-Mar Be a Transformer! On Easter weekend, I was sharing devotions for the youth camp that was held at Navesau Adventist High School in Fiji. What I saw really inspired me. These young people were not there just to have a good time, however were there to transform Navesau. They planted thousands of root crops, vegetables, painted railings and cleaned up the place. At the end of the camp, they donated many things for the school – from equipment for the computer lab, cooking utensils, fencing wire and even family household items. I am sure that it amounted to worth thousands of dollars. I literally saw our Vision Statement come alive. I saw ‘A Vibrant Adventist youth movement, living their hope in Jesus and transforming Navesau’. I know that there were many youth camps around the TPUM who also did similar things and I praise the Lord for the commitment our people have made to transform our Pacific. We can work together to transform our communities, and we can also do it individually. Jesus Christ illustrates this with this Parable in Matthew 13:33: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast…mixed into…flour until it is worked all through the dough.” Jesus invites us to imagine the amazing properties of a little bit of yeast; it can make dough rise so that it bakes into wonderful bread. Like yeast, only a small expression of the kingdom of Jesus Christ in our lives can make an incredible impact on the lives and culture of people around us.

Garry E. Hall as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158 during a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Bahrain Sept. 27. Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

As Members might be aware that the Parliament of Nauru has been provided with two Toyota Prado diesel four-wheel vehicles as a grant by the Government of India. These vehicles will serve the long term use of the Parliament in smoothening its work and facilitating the Members in their official duties. This project was taken by me with the then Minister for External Affairs who is also the Prime Minister of India and I am happy that they have acceded to my request. I have also regulated the use of the vehicle within the Parliament Secretariat in order to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and diligence. I would also like to state in no uncertain terms that this assistance would not have come without the endeavours of our Department of Foreign Affairs who had over the years strengthened the bilateral ties with India and the Minister, Hon.
