Thanksgiving.
In accordance with the Proclamation
of the President, the 28th was observed
here as a day of Thanksgiving. All of
our nation has enjoyed distinguished
prosperity, but no section has had more
peculiar cause for gratitude to God than
Hawaii. In an exceptional degree and
sense is it manifest how the manifold
blessings of our lot have come from the
special favor of Divine Providence.
It
was most distinctly that Providence
which $2 years ago specially selected Hawaii as the destination of the messengers of Christ, and then caused them to
be received here with such peculiar
favor. This was manifestly done for the
end accomplished, that the Gospel successfully cultivated here, should transform existing barbarism into a highly
developed Christian civilization, making
Hawaii a (Paradise for homes, and a radiant center of beneficent power, all whose
delightful fruits we have been abundantly enjoying. The past year has been
one of great and continued prosperity in
material things. It has equally abounded
in social and spiritual good. May we
be keenly sensible of the Source of our
manifold blessings. May our gratitude

bao sent at their own expense as delegates, the pastor, Sr. Masques, and his
daughter Dona Susana, and other friends
met the expenses of two more delegates,
two young women of the congregation,
so that the mission of Bilbao bail the
fine representation of four active Christian Endeavorers.
For many years in Zaragoza there has
been no special public persecution of the
(.ospel work in that city, so the surprise
was all the greater when the day before
the Convention was to open the whole
Roman Catholic press of the city opened
its batteries on us. It seems that copier
of the programme of the two days' exercises through the hands of the printers had reached these papers who made
it the basis of their attack. Their exclamations of wrath and dismay that tin
city of Zaragoza, blessed by the presence
of the "Virgin of the Pillar." who is the
Special devotion of the inhabitants of
Zaragoza. should be desecrated by such
an assembly, were extraordinary. Delegations of the two Cathedrals and of
the Roman Catholic press called on the
(iovernor assuring him that if the Protestants were permitted to hold the Convention it would occasion a conflict in
the city. The (iovernor was so harrassed by these importunities that the
evening before the Convention was to
open he called the pastor of the church
in Zaragoza to his house and explained
to him the situation. Knowing however
that we were entirely within our rights
he, practically, said to the pastor: "I
will send to you an order, which will
also he in the public press ordering yon
to do nothing in contravention of the
laws on the pain of the instant closing
of your meetings. This will satisfy the
clamor of these newspapers, But, between ourselves, we know your rights
under the Constitution and you just go
forwartl with your meetings as you have
always done hitherto and nothing will
happen." This indeed was the result.
The programme was followed with
admirable precision, the pastor of Bilbao,
1). Jose Marques, taking in it a conspicuous part. At the close of the two days'
meetings he delivered a stirring address
in the chapel that was filled to overflowing. Without exaggeration I think it
might be said that this sermon was in
many respects the most eloquent and
powerful that has been preached in Spain
since the dawn of the Second Revelation
in which we are now living, either in a
Catholic or Protestant Church. His subject was simply. "Ksfuerzo Christiano."
He said: "When I asked myself "Where
of biblical heroes which he marshalled
before us with telling effect. An Aragonese himself he appealed to his countrymen in this chief city of Aragoti, to
cast off the bondage of fanaticism and
superstition under which they lived, and
to take upon themselves the yoke that is
easy and the burden that is light; ami
for their encouragement he cited with
thrilling effect passages of their own
most stirring history. It was a sermon
that will not soon be forgotten by those
who heard it.
Returning to Bilbao the pastor found
the greater part of the political press in
his own city echoing, with atldetl bitterness of its own, the cries and the attacks
of the Catholic press of Zaragoza which,
repeated by the Madrid papers, were now
resounding throughout the country, so
that in Bilbao it was indeed the principal topic of conversation for the moment. The immediate effect of this agitation accompanied as it was by the
Roman Catholic writers by especial attacks on Sr. Marques, was to till the
chapel with people whose curiosity
brought them to listen to the preaching
of this dangerous and anti-patriotic
Spaniard, as he was declared to lie. The
result was in Bilbao, as in Zaragoza, that
God made most conspicuously "the
wrath of man to praise Him."
After this incident of the Christian
Endeavor agitation, in the month of September there occurred what was called:
"The Coronation of the Virgin of Begona," or otherwise "The Mother of God
in Begona." It was an extraordinary affair worked up by the priesthood to produce the greatest spectacular effect possible and at the expenditure of an enormous amount of money. For several
days the streets were full of people that
poured in from the surrounding villages.
many coming from distant cities. ( lbserving people declared that rather than
a religious festival it was an imposing
political rally of the ultramontane forces
of that part of Spain. The culminating
ceremony was the placing of a crown
Upotl the head of the Virgin and another
on the head of the Child in whose hands
also was placed a jewelled scepter, which
objects it is said cost no less than one
thousand two bundled pounds sterling.
The day after the coronation was devoted to processions through the street
in the most important of which they carried the so-called miracle winking image
of the Virgin. This great procession in
which were high dignitaries of the
Church and a multitude of fanatical
women of the place, called beatas, passed

the basis of his discourse was an array near our chapel they came to a halt and
'
called out: "Long
live the Virgin, the Mother of God of
Begona," and again, immediately in
front of the chapel, they halted and repeated the cry. As the pastor says it is
apt to be in the case of these clerical
street-theatricals, a comical note appeared that destroyed the malicious intent of the promoters of the scheme.
When this mass of people was exactly in
front of our chapel an enormous rat
dashed out. no body could tell from
where, and rushing through the crowd
at a given signal they
amid the cries and screams and the general flight of the women, who must have
thought it was a protestant devil in the
form of a rat. very nearly broke up the
procession and certainly robbed it of
whatever solemnity it might have had at
that time.
Indeed the whole event of the coronation of this Virgin was accompanied with
so many untoward incidents that public
attention was much attracted by the fact.
A leading paper of Madrid commented
upon it in a way that must have deeply
impressed every thoughtful reader.
There is room here merely to mention
the following incidents referred to by
that writer, The first was a false alarm
of tire in the church, creating a rush to
the doors in which a young woman was
trodden to death. The second was the
falling of an electric light in the street
near a dense group of people occasioning
such a fright that persons were overthrown and bones were broken. The
third was when the artillery was firing a
salute in honor of the Virgin on the day
of her coronation when two of the artillery men had their arms blown away
and their faces so terribly injured that
they cried to be killed on the spot. The
writer of the article calls these "The
Three Miracles of the Virgin"; in this
the most notable week of her existence.
In view of this he boldly asserts that the
immense majority of Roman Catholics
who assist at these ceremonies and processions, know that the piece of wood
which is roughly carved into the form
of a human figure, which they profanely
proclaim is endowed with miraculous
powers, has no such virtue whatever,
and that to the immense majority the
whole thing is a blasphemous farce.
All these events led to the awakening
Of interest in the Protestant pastor and
his work, and especially so as he was
continually attacked by the preaching
friars, so that there was a larger attendance on the chapel services than therehad been before for a long time.
After the summer vacation the schools
opened with some seventy children in attendance, and in the month of October
1 decided to establish a kindergarten for
the youngest children of the school. I

imported from the United States the material needed and had the low tables tot
the little children made in Bilbao at an
expense of about £3; the supplies from
the United States cost £4 arid the
freight charges and duties some £ 2
more, making a total cash outlay of some
£9. The teacher of these thirty little
children is one of the bright girls graduated from the International Institute,
in lliarritz, in June of last year. This
advance in our educational work has
very much pleased the parents of the
children and has attracted considerable
attention in the community, as I think it
is the only kindergarten in the city.
I WM present at the special exercises
of the children of the schools on Christmas day and evening. It was a beautiful sight to see. The pulpit furniture
was removed and the platform increased
in size and the whole chapel was prettily
adorned with greens brought in by the
children from the fields, and potted
plants were loaned by friends, members
of the congregation. A large number of
the children took part in the exercises of
declamation, dialogue and song, before
the audience that crowded the chapel to
the doors, and that greatly pleased both
young and old.
( )f course in such an assembly as fills
the chapel on these anniversary occasions by far the larger part are Roman
Catholics, and we consider it one of the
best means by which to attract them
within reach of the Gospel, which at such
times is proclaimed to them by the lips
of their own children. Not a few who
have been brought to the knowledge of
the truth in our different missions have
received their first impression in one or
another of our children's festivals.
The pastor has told me of a pleasant
occurrence on the night of the outgoing
year and century and the incoming of
the new. The city and military authorities sent out that night several bands of
music to entertain the people at the midnight hour. It was the band of the most
noted regiment in Bilbao that was assigned to our quarter of the city. As
midnight approached the pastor with a
number of friends was singing out the
old year in his house with hymns appropriate to the occasion when the military
band also began to play. Immediately
the family in the Protestant house ceased
its singing and going to the balcony listened to the music of the soldiers and
joined in the applause that followed the
first piece. Then they resumed their
own singing which was followed by applause from the street. Then the bantl
played again and so on through a number of pieces, the music and applause
from one side and the other amicably
and enthusiastically alternating. The

H. T.
My Dear Sir and Pro. in Christ:
Today, the since last April expected vessel of the Jaluit firm arrived and brought
us our building material for verandahs
I hasten to inform you of this and also
forward bill to you. I sincerely trust
that you will be able to meet this obliga-
~
—
tion. T have given the Jaluit Gesellschaft a check on you, payable to If.
Hackfeld, their agents at Honolulu. I
presume that this cheek will be presented
to you in due time. The check amounts
to Si 73 or 717 marks and 82 pfennigs in
(iernian
money.
We are so glad to have this long waited for roof iron and today we tore down
the thatch on one side of the house and
replaced it with good roof iron. We also
made gutters from lumber and are nowready to receive good rain water when
the windows of heaven are opened again.
Tomorrow we shall begin with the platform in our new church and when finished with this we shall 1). Y. put up
ihe west veranda. Praise God for His
goodness to us. As you will notice
lumber is somewhat high here, but the
roof iron (Bx2 ft.) is very reasonable.
We bought this material much cheaper
than the local traders. However, till we
would add freight from S. F. to here,
our gain would be very limited not
speaking of the uncertainty of receiving
it. Well praise the Lord, the little Mission home on Nauru is finished, i.e., will
be finished in a few weeks. There will
be no further expense for the mission
premises except perhaps for painting
now and then, which we must not neglect in this climate. White ants are quite
bad here. We are glad that it is over,
we have spent much prayer and thought
over this matter. We trust that our
many friends will help to meet this heavy
debt. This money with the $115 which
you (we trust) have sent to P. I. Co.,
Sidney, will make a grand total of about
$288, which must be the final outlay for
his part of bur work. May God richly
bless all who have thus far been so much
interested in our work; may they continue to remember us.
God willing we shall be able to baptize a little company of believers Sabbath,
July 21. 1901. A grand day for our little island, when the first ones shall enter
the visible Church of Christ. May God
keep them and us faithful. Pray for us.
On Sabbath evening, July 10, we hope
to dedicate our beautiful little church
building to Jehovah. We have bought
some lumber (out of contribution
money 1 for a nice altar or platform,
while the people themselves bought two
large and several small lamps, which will
help to brighten up our Sabbath evening
services. Midweek prayer meeting we
hold in the schoolhouse. The people
have furthermore ordered a large church
bell which we trust to receive about the
end of the year. The people are very
proud of their church, especially since
they have heard from visitors that there
are few native churches like theirs. May
many find the I>ord Jesus Christ in this
House of Prayer on Nauru.
Thursday, July 1411. we expect to have
�170
our first annual closing exercises and
picnic of our day school. The children
are very happy about it and can scarcely
await the day. There will be singing of
hytnns, essays, a few hours of games to

place and work with us and feel no embarrassment; because it is patriotic and

Hebrew rabbis, with others, are federating against the evil which destroys the

At the close of the services, subscriptions for the support of the League were

made a liberal response to the call.
Protest Against Star Saloon.
Unfavorable sentiment has been
aroused against the continuation ol the
"Star Saloon," located near the teiniinu'
of the tram line at Palania, which is practically at the entrance to the grounds of
the Kainehaineha schools. This has been
accomplished through the medium of a
petition which has been widely circulated in the city, protesting against its establishment there. 'The students of the
schools were among the first to raise
their voices in protest, and through them
the Anti-Saloon League has taken up
the matter. The petition reads as follows :
'To the Honorable 'Treasurer of the Territory of I lawaii:

Mr. Tstiji of Paia is rejoicing in having with him his wife and two children.
We were pleased one Sunday afternoon
to meet with him and his llainakuapokn
congregation at the Japanese church of
tha place. The house was full and a
number stood at the entrance.
Mr. Lindsay expects soon to take down
the old empty church-building near by
and put it up in the Portuguese quarter
of Paia where Mr. Silva is living. Once
in possession of a church-building Mr.
Silva can do more effective work.
'The one bright spot in all W'ailuku is
the compound where the Social Settlement and its allied buildings stand. It
is nice to find there Christian people of

their work and it is so much appreciated.

his face shows it. The boys in Social

Following the example of the other

back to their former church home and
making up with their one-time pastor.
Rev. I£. S. Timoteo, our special evangelist to the native churches is now
doing a good work in W'ainee church
Lahaina. Meetings began on Sunday
the 17th of October and have been held
every evening of the week since with
the exception of Saturday evening. The
meetings are being continued this week
with good results. It is expected that
those who have been holding separate
meetings at Hale Aloha will soon come
over in a hotly and attend services at the
old church. Should this be done and a
new and able pastor be secured for W'ainee church, something might again be
accomplished by this once powerful organization in reaching the at present unchurched youth of Lahaina who spend
their leisure hours, of which they appear
to have liioiiy. about the saloons and in
the billiard rooms of the town.
(
>nc of the incidents of the meeting of
the association at Wailuku was the examination and approval of P. F. Palea
of Haiku for licensure. Palea was once
a follower of kekipi. by whom he was
ordained and placed in charge of a body
of schismatics at Paauwela, Haiku. It
was found that one reason Palea bad for
leaving the Kekipi people was the fact
that he could not bring his ethical convictions down to the level of their leader
and he could not bring himself to call
white black and black white. Palea had
succeeded in stopping for a time the
drunkenness that was prevalent in his
kaauwela parish, but after a respite
Mrs. X
who was a leading spirit
and a close connection of Air. kekipi, got
tired of the quiet times they were having
and inaugurated a kind of afternoon and
evening "tea" where intoxicating drinks
took the place of tea. Palea's complaints
to his chief were unavailing. 'The ladvrelative was sustained in her innovations,
and thereupon Palea retired from his
pastorate and from the fellowship to return to what he now believes to be a
body more ethically sound and scripturally consistent in its doctrines and in
its life. Palea goes to Waihee to do
church work.
Chinese Mission, that there seems to be
a fitness in asking room in its columns

'This occurred on November 3rd and
was a most interesting ami impressive
occasion. Sonic months since the directors of the Wailuku plantation most generously gave- to the Hawaiian Hoard one
acre and a half of land in the town of
Wailuku for religious and educational
uses. 'This is on the extension of Market street, passing through one of the
cane fields of the plantation, with a line
view toward old Haleakala. A marvelous transformation has been wrought
here within a year's time. The visitor to
Wailuku is amazed to see the long
stretch of beautiful lawns and gardens.
surrounding tasteful and commodious
buildings, devoted to varied and noble
uses which testify to the energy, refined
taste and devoted spirit of those who are
seeking here to present the true spirit of
Christianity to old and voting of all
nationalities. On the corner of Main
street stands
"Alexander
House" wor-
thily perpetuating one of the noblest
names in the missionary history of these
islands. Its spacious and beautiful rooms
are devoted to main uses. Here we find
one of the finest kindergartens in the
group with from sixty to seventy happy
little ones in attendance, guided lovingly
and wisely by Mrs. kuowlton and her
assistants. 'Then there are the reading
room and game room, with everything
to attract and please, where Miss Huntingdon, with her classes in weaving and
sewing for girls, clay modelling for the
boys, bright social evenings of innocent
recreation, and in numberless other ways
is radiating a loving and beneficent influence, which is being widely felt.
Next in order on this new and truly
wonderful street comes the Chinese
Church, of which mention will be made
dater. Then still further on rises the
comfortable and airy two-story building
where the workers in all this busy hive
have a restful and beautiful home. Miss
Malone has shown splendid energy and
enthusiasm in planning much of what
has been lure realized, and in the raising
of money, and in the wise use of the

The Religious Awakening Among the
Students of Japan.
ByRev. SidneLy. Gulick.
We are in the midst of stirring time-,
both politically and religiously.
The
world notes political events but passes
by as unimportant man} •* movement
which is really of great significance,
'The Japanese churches have devoted
the current year to special aggressive efforts to reach the millions with the gospel. Already the results have been remarkable. Wherever pastors or niissionaries have been located protracted series
of meetings have been held, preceded by
special meetings for prayer, and accom-
panied by special methods for advertising ihe meetings; hundreds of converts
have already been added to the churches,
and between ten and twenty thousand
have expressed the determination to
"study" Christianity. 'These latter however must not be counted yet as converts,
an error into which some seem to be falling.
Mr. Mott came to Japan at just the
strategic time to give this aggressive
movement a great impulse, and also to
focus the momentum and experience it
had already secured upon work for the
large student class, now numbering over
60,000 in the schools for higher education. On his arrival in Japan, Sept. 23d,
lie found a large number of pastors, professors, Christian students and missionaries already filled with the evangelistic
and praying spirit, waiting to be led by
a commanding and inspiring leader to
the grand work. Extensive and de.ailed
preparations had been made previous to
his arrival, so that the single month of
his stay in Japan resulted in such an
awakening among the students as fewbad had the faith to expect. It is an
epochal event.
Mr. Mott's first work was the holding
of a convention in 'Tokyo, ( let. 36, of all
the principal workers for students. The
membership was limited to 140 workers;
it included presidents and deans of all
l liristian schools, 3 professors of government schools, 80 delegates from 28
student associations and 10 city associations, 20 pastors and laymen, and 25 missionaries. 'This was a notable conference
whose inspiring influence will long remain.
Mr. Mott's second purpose and perhaps his main work was the series ol
evangelistic meetings specifically for
.students in the chief educational centers
of the land. In these addresses he
pressed earnestly yet cautiously for full
decision to follow Christ. The large
amount of seed sowing quietly done during past years by faithful pastors, professors, and missionaries, made this
method of work both possible and profitable. 'The numbers of decisions made
immediately upon his searching sermons
were: Seiidai 138, Tokyo 430, Kyoto
17(1, ( isaka 275, Okayama 206, Kutnamoto 316, Nagasaki 27, being a total of
1469. Of that number over 1,000 were
students, and the rest young men in the
cities. 'These were remarkable results
when we consider that in each case Mr.
Mott never addressed the same audience
twice, and that in some cases, as at Okavania and Nagasaki, ho could not even
remain to the close of the after meeting,
being compelled to run for the train or
the steamer.
In each place effective conservation
committees were immediately organized;
the city young men were turned over to
the care of the pastors, and the students
taken into the Associations and formed
into classes for regular instruction.
Plans are also on foot, thanks to generous friends, for following up the work
during the months to come by visits of
�able evangelistic preachers especially
adapted to students.
F"ew more notable signs of the times in
Japan can be found than the large audience of university students who gathered, in spite of a long continued rain,
to hear Mr. Mott's address delivered in
the university itself, on the "Power of
Christianity among the Students of the
World." In addition to his address to
students, Mr. Mott also spoke several
times to missionaries and others. His
indefatigable energy enabled him to have
interviews with many of the leading
men of the land, the results of which we
shall doubtless hear in due time.
Truly this first year of the 20th century will long be remembered as a memorable year in the annals of the growth
of the Kingdom of God in Japan. The
unprecedented calls for workers, 'and
openings for work emphasize appallingly
both our lack of workers and our financial limitations.
Would that all Christians and churches
in the home land could see what we are
seeing, and he led to realize that the
speedy bringing of the Orient to Christ
in a large measure depends upon their
active consecration and sympathy.
Pray for us and re-enforce us.

Below are a few samples of schoolboys' exercises, lent to us by a lady
teacher. In the felicitous phrasing of
the Japanese youth, they may help in
"dispersing gloom of our always industry." They are also suggestive as to
difficulties and progress in teaching English to pupils of four different nationalities, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and
Hawaiian, to which has lately been added
the Porto-Rican Spanish. English is becoming the common tongue of all. This
means hard work for the teachers.
