Christm as comes an d lig h ts a s ta r of hope , ever the world. We p ray th a t its cheerfu l ■ light m ay find its way in to every hom e, p rovid- I ing for those who need, com forting those who i mourn, s tren g th en in g those who are w eary,! lonely and discouraged. I t is a tim e w hen ' we should g a th er up in g ra te fu l m em ory our ; loved ones and friends who have blessed us i' across the years.! “For God so loved th e w orld t h a t He gave
His only begotten Son.” No w onder th e angels 1 sang as God gave th e w orld so g re a t a gift.' Nothing should ever se p ara te us from th e love * of God and apprecia tion of th a t g ift. Down ' through the cen tu ries joy still ab ides in th e
hearts of those who know how to sh a re th a t
' gift.t To a sad and despairing w orld cam e th e
good news of a Saviour. “F e a r n o t—behold I bring you good tid ings of g rea t joy ,for
! unto you is born th is day in th e city of D avid ! a Saviour an d R edeem er.” He h a s come to
save people from th e ir sins, -their sorrow s a n d th e ir defeats. So th e C hris t m eets ou r needs today . He alone can quiet our fears, lif t our burdens, an d lig h ten
' our sorrows. In Him th e re is forgiveness fo r th e troubled h eart. Down th ro u g h th e cen tu ries echoes the music of the heaven ly choirs, “Peace on ea rth , good will tow ards m en.”
Let us reverently jo in th e m igh ty th ro n g of p ilgrim s who kneel a t the m a n g e r-th ro n e . Let us com e to Him just as we are, w ith our doub ts an d fears, our hopes and sorrows, ou r fa ilu res a n d sins, an d ask His blessing upon us. W hen th e Wise M en h a d w orshipped the Babe of B ethlehem , we rea d th a t “T hey d ep a rted into the ir own coun try a n o th e r w ay.” So sh a ll we return, each to h is own p lace a n d ta sk “a n o th e r w ay”, . changed m en an d wom en, if we have c a u g h t th e message of joy th e m an g er h a s to give.
As you m ake your C hristm as C om m union m ay the prayer on your lips be, “Come to m y h e a r t, Lord Jesus, there is room in m y h e a r t fo r T hee .”
“God bless you all a t th is C h ris tm as tim e ” is th e wish of your Bishop.

R oberts, th e v icar o f th e m ission, blessed th e p lo t of g round w hich is to be th e site o f the ir ( new church . [
M any of you know th e h is to ry of S t. J o h n ’s-b y -th e - \ Sea by h e a r t, b u t fo r th e five h u n d red new Chronicle \ subscribers th is year, m ay we te ll i t h e re briefly. £
In 1927 th e y ou ths of th e village w an ted a baseball park . Mr. Jo h n Tow nsend, S upervisor of R oad Cons tru c tio n for th e City a n d C ounty of H onolulu, him self p a rt-H aw aiian , was in s tru m e n ta l in re n tin g for one do lla r a y ea r a n acre of u n cu ltiv a ted la n d a n d clearing it.
Then they fe lt th e need for a com m unity h a ll an d the com m unity w orked as one m an in tran sp o rtin g an old corrugated iron w arehouse belonging to Libby, McNeil and Libby P lan ta tio n C om pany across th e bay to a plot of ground nex t to th e ball p ark . Dr. M ildred Staley, as usual, s ta r te d off th e g ifts for th is land with $100.00. And th e n Mr. T. J. H ollander, th e th e n Diocesan T reasurer, s ta r te d in to get g ifts by selling the land a t 50 cen ts a square foot. T here w ere 296 gifts in all—th e sm allest $1.00 an d th e la rg e s t $100.00. The to ta l of $2,575.00 w as reach ed a n d th e la n d bough t from the Bishop T ru s t Com pany.
In 1930 they asked Bishop L itte ll to send som e one to them to hold services fo r th e m —one case in th is D istrict w here th e people have gone o u t a f te r th e Church instead of th e C hurch going c u t a f te r them . The Mission h as h ad a succession of p ries .s a n d lay readers, bu t no resid en t p ries t u n til Ju n e 1944.
Dr. Staley owned a piece of lan d a q u a r te r of a mile away from th e M ission an d she gave th is land for a vicarage. The co ttage w as com pleted a n d th e Rev. and Mrs. W. A rth u r R oberts in sta lled . B oth Bishop Keeler an d Bishop K ennedy fe lt th a t th e new Church should n o t be bu ilt a t th e edge of th e sea, but up on th e h ighw ay a n d th e n ex t step w as to secure a piece of lan d on th e u p p er level. N egotiations started for one of th e lo ts on th e h ighw ay w here the road leads down to th e old rec rea tio n hall, b u t one of the owners was in th e m e rc h a n t m arin e an d h is signature could no t be secured easily, so th a t fell th rough . Feeling sure th a t we would have th a t lan d , an d n o t being able to get m a te ria ls on accoun t of th e w ar, a pre-fabricated house was pu rchased . As th e re w as now no ground in sigh t for th e new chu rch , th e p re fabricated house was tra n s fe rre d to K a ilu a a n d is now St. C hristopher’s C hapel. T he p u rch ase p rice was refunded to St. Jo h n ’s -b y -th e -S e a .
The lot we have p u rch ased fo r th e new C hurch is adjacent to the one previously m en tioned . T he p u r chase price of th e lo t is $2,750.00. We w an t to keep the land on w hich th e rec rea tio n h a ll s ta n d s b u t we have a small lot on th e lower level w hich we hope we can dispose of eventually . W hen th e f in a l p ay m e n t on th e new lot is m ade, we will have a ro u n d $7,700 tow ard the church building. I t is s till d ifficu lt to g e t m a te ria ls and un til we know w h a t m a te ria ls a re availab le , we cannot get an accu ra te es tim a te of th e f in a l cost for the Church—but w ouldn’t i t be g rea t, if on St. Jo h n ’s Day, December 27 in th e y ea r 1945—exactly fifteen years afte r St. Jo h n ’s w as s ta r te d —we h a d enough money on h an d to build a sm all, a t tra c tiv e C hurch and equip it?
There have been only two la rge g ifts fo r e ith e r the vicarage or th e C hurch—one fo r $2,000 an d one for $1,000— all th e rest have been in sm all am o u n ts w ith several for $100. T he H onolulu B ran c h of th e W om an’s Auxiliary gave $1,198.50 tow ard th e v icarage a n d so far th is year have given $1,274 tow ard th e new C hurch .
Though all of our m issions in th e is lands have started building funds, an d need assistance on these, we do not have a ch u rch w hich is qu ite th e “s te p child” th a t St. J o h n ’s -b y -th e -S e a is. F ifteen years of

John hdaterhouse
Bishop L ittell h a s w ritten us th e following artic le :I have ju st read in th e H onolulu p ap e rs of th e d ea th
of John W aterhouse, K am a a in a pioneer, genial, gen e rous gentlem an. His in te re s ts w ere w ide-sp read an d his benefactions m any, a n d usually n o t publicised. Two recent gifts to our C hurch m ay well be recalled, however. As C hairm an of th e d irec to rs o f th e Mc- Bryde P lan ta tion on K auai, h e a rra n g e d w ith th e la te Frank Alexander, M anager, fo r th e o u tr ig h t tra n s fe r of the p lan ta tion h a ll a n d su rro u n d in g la n d a t Eleele to the Church. T h a t is th e p ro p e rty on w hich we have built St. Jo h n ’s C hurch , a n d th e rec to ry w here the Rev. Thurlow B aker an d fam ily live—all th ree buildings entirely free from debt.
Mr. W aterhouse’s g ift to St. M ary’s, H onolulu several years ago, when th e Home a n d M ission w ere in im mediate prospect of being th ro tt le d by th e sa le of th e adjoining lot to Jap an ese for a tem ple, an d fo r co ttages, saved the situation . T he C hurch h a d f irs t chance to buy, but did n o t have $8,400 to buy w ith . A sh o rt interview w ith Mr. W aterhouse w as a ll th a t w as r e quired to s ta r t th e pu rch ase fu n d w ith $2,500. E n couraged w ith th is in h a n d , I w en t over to see Judge Alva S teadm an, P resid en t of th e Cooke T ru s t, an d Mr. Richard Cooke. In due season th e Cooke T ru s t sent $1,500 an d we bough t th e lan d . St. M ary’s M ission, with the help of several su b s ta n tia l g ifts, ra ised th e balance of the cost price an d now ow ns g ro u n d enough for long-needed developm ent.
Mr. John W aterhouse, like so m a n y pub lic -m inded members of th e old New E ng land m issionary fam ilies in Hawaii, gave generously to th e C hurch a n d w elfare agencies, when convinced of th e ir construc tive value. He will be greatly m issed in th e Islands.
