HAWAII, A LAND OF PROSPERITY AND NO BEGGERS _______ (continued from page 1) though, having seen both, we do not agree with the published sentiment that is on a plane with the "Passion Play", for it surely is not. We visited Catilina with its highly advertised Glass Bottomed boats making trips over the "sub- marine gardens" but one visit is sufficient, though quite interest- ing. Our friends also drove us to Hollywood and pointed out the homes of many of the celebrities in the movie world, and we got a few pictures which may be in- teresting to some of our friends. Riverside Inn with its wonder- ful museum was also visited and the drive out there through the endless orchards of oranges and lemons was very interesting. On Monday April 24th we took the California Limited for Chica- go with a twenty-four hour stop over at Grand Canyon and as it is said that "Ten thousand pens have described at this indescriba- ble wonder," I will not make any attempt but will simply say that "Desert View" just before sun- set was the most "indescribably" wonderful and appealed most to me. Arriving home on Friday after- noon, with the air soft and balmy, the wheat and pasture fields of dark green and the light green leaves of the forests with an oc- casional touch of more vivid colors, Ohio looked good to us. We have seen veritable fairy lands in the islands of the south- ern seas; we have listened to weird tales and legends of those scusuous peoples; experienced the fragrance and langour of the soft winds heavily laden with the oerfume of myriads of flowers' have stood thoughtful and awed before the most stupendous man- festations of convulsive nature; have been intereseted in the stron contrasts drawn between the moral and religious Christian gov- ernment as illustrated by our rule in Porto Rice, the Virgin Islands, the Canal Zone, and Hawaiian Islands, and the immoral, de- graded and licentious government of mongrel peoples, with their legacy of the corrupt practices of the Spanish regime, as seen sharply drawn between the Canal Zone and Panama City, all in- teresting, some inviting and en- ticing and some facinating and seductive, yet we are most happy to be back with our old friends and neighbors, and greeted by the genial smile and gracious wel- come that awaited us, and "there is no place like home sweet home." ----
