EDITORIAL AND GENERAL
Send in orders early for copies of the
December number of The Friend. This
number will be profusely illustrated and
full of interesting matter.
The following are some of those who
are writing for the December number:
Mrs. Elizabeth Van Cleve Hall, Prof. C.
J. Lyons, Prof. W. D. Alexander, Dr. S.
E. Bishop, Rev. O. P. Emerson, Rev. O.
H. Gulick, Miss M. A. Chamberlain, Mrs.
C. M. Hyde, Secretary Judson Smith and
Treasurer F. H. Wiggin of the American Board, Mr. Robt. Andrews, Gov.
Sanford B. Dole, Rev. W. D. Westervelt,

Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Rev. W. M. Kincaid, Dr. E. G. Beckwith, Mr. F. S.
Lyman, Mr. P. C. Jones, Mr. W. R.

We do not apologize for the price
charged for each copy of the Decem-
ber number for we expect to have it
worth 20 cents, and it will cost us
nearly that.
One of the new things
of this century in the
Pacific, is the advent of crude oil as fuel
for ocean steamers as well as for land engines. The oil wells of Southern California have lately taken to gushing forth
great streams of petroleum which is delivered at the seaboard at extremely low
prices. Oil is displacing coal as fuel, and
the coal miners are in despair. Manufactures in California, especially of iron, are
feeling the tremendous stimulus given by
cheap fuel. In Hawaii, our sugar plantations are preparing to substitute oil for
coal in their pumping engines, and in
their locomotives. Great oil tanks are
building at the harbors, and tank-ships
are being prepared to transport the fuel.
The same change is in progress for our
ocean steamers. The Mariposa recently
made a most successful trip from San
Francisco to Tahiti and back, with her
new oil burners. And now the great
freighter Nevadan, burning oil, arrives
in seven days and three hours, instead of
the usual time of eight days. Oil on ocean
steamers occupies half the room of coal,
costs half as much, and requires only a
small number of men to handle it, instead
of the usual great crowd of coal-passers.
The new fuel is working a revolution.

HONOLULU, T. H., NOVEMBER, 1902
year past Hawaii
For
„
,has abeen
.■'
'suffering
a
most severe financial depression, owing to
the unprecedentedly low price of sugar.
This has been caused by the over-production of beet-sugar in Europe. The price
has been so low as to prevent a majority
of our plantations from making any profit.
In consequence, there has of late been
great rejoicing at the news of an immense
shortage in the beet crop of this year in
Europe. Sugar is advancing in price.
Prospects are bright of an early return of
living profits, and Hawaii feels great relief. It seems wrong for men to rejoice
at the misfortunes of other men; but
Europe has been doing her best to ruin
the cane-sugar countries, and they will
not weep over her misfortunes.
One cause of satisfaction to Thk
Friend is that this brings a gleam of
hope for the sadly straitened finances of
our Hawaiian Board, threatening disastrous shrinkage in our needy work. Several of our most munificent donors have
been compelled by loss of income to diminish their gifts. If the expected relief
comes, they will assuredly resume their
liberal aid.
Sugar Looking up
Wahiawa Home-steads Ranging from 900 to
t (2oo
feet altitude
above the sea, upon a most lovely sloping
upland, lies the Wahiawa settlement of
some twenty families of American farmers, the only community of that sort in
Hawaii. By several years' occupation,
and purchase at low price from the Government, they have come into full possession of their farms. Many comfortable homes have been created. A large
irrigating ditch of several miles in length
affords a bountiful supply of water, to
supplement the rains which at the lower
end of the tract are somewhat scanty.
Their culture of vegetables has met
with much hindrance from cutworms and
other insect pests. They now have the
best prospects of large profit in the culture of pineapples, which has been a
great success in similar localities. A large
cannery for this fruit is about to be erected, and some hundreds of thousands of
plants are growing. This settlement has
already become much in favor as a summer resort for residents of Honolulu.
Probably a hotel would do a good business located upon the upper end of the
slope where the climate is coolest. A fine
bridge connects the Waialua road with
this long narrow tract lying between the
two branches of
stream. It is ten
the great Kaukonahua
miles to their post office
by good wheeling from Pearl City railway station. When Pearl Harbor becomes open in the near future, they will
be in a near proximity to a large seaport.
Je
j; Railway°"for the
SiP
sal lanting Oahu
past three years have had opportunity to
observe two or three miles beyond Ewa
Mill on both sides of the railway, some
hundreds of acres of dry, rocky ground
studded with young sisal plants, evidently
in healthy condition. These are sisal, the
long leaves furnishing a fibre of good
length and great toughness. It is of high
commercial value. Some $20,000,000
worth of this fibre is annually imported
into the United States. At Chicago, the
Deering Harvester Works manufactures
daily 30,000 miles of sisal twine for harvest-binding.
The sisal plantation at Ewa gives the
greatest promise of success. The plants
are now nearly ready to supply matured
leaves, which they will continue to yield
for from five to seven years, during which
little or no labor is needed for cultivation.
It is expected soon to erect the necessarydecorticating works for extracting the
fibre from the leaves. An average value
of the annual yield from one acre is one
hundred dollars.
This product, if successful, will prove
a great boon to these Islands, for the
reason that it grows upon rocky and arid
soils without irrigation, and with little
labor or care after the first two years.
Hawaii possesses immense tracts of such
lands which are otherwise nearly useless
commercially. The algaroba tree has
thus far been the only useful growth
available on those lands.
The bright green fan-like bunch of
spears which form the sisal plant makes
a beautiful object when arranged in
straight regular rows. Sisal is one of the
Century plant family, maturing in eight
or ten years, and dying after suddenly
shooting up its lofty stem covered with a
thousand young plants. The perfect
health of the Ewa plants indicates that
their culture has passed the experimental
a en er
f f f
stage.

near Cape Horn loaded with the cable

PEHAV.
Pleasant Island, May 23. 1902.
Tin-- RttV. O. 11. Gu_i_K, Honolulu, H. T.
Mv Dear Sir:-—At Easter we had the
great privilege of admitting nineteen
more persons into the Church, which
brings the total of our membership up to
forty. We have much to encourage us
at our out-stations, where the meetings
have been real well attended lately, especially so at Ewa, where somewhat like
forty persons have signified their desireMay the Holy
to follow our Master.
Spirit teach them what it means to follow
the meek and lowly Nazarene at all times
and tinder all circumstances. Will they
pay the price when the time of testing
their faith comes? Our hearts arc filled
with prayer for these poor people. We
are certain that you are glad to bear that
we have opened a regulai preaching placein the district of Anibare, an ideal field
for pioneer work. The people here have
never even heard the Gospel, as during
the time the Gilbert boys were on the
island, it was only at tilt; risk of their
lives that they '.mild venture beyond 'heir
own district. Even now we find much of
the old war spirit among the people and it
ia only from fear of the "man-o-war" that
the heathen tribes refrain from again assuming hostilities. Nothing but the love
of (iod can expel this desire for blood and
revenge out of their hearts. We have
Sabbath afternoon meeting every second
Sabbath at Anibare, hut hope to give them
a more- frequent service when we shall
have more help at our disposal. Here
you may see heathenism in its entire originality. We are praying about opening a
sort of branch .school for smaller children
there, but do -tot see our way clear about
it yet. It is rather more than we can do
to run three schools with our present
fence of teachers. 11 will take at least
another year before- we- may dare to send
out any of our boys, and even then they
will be insufficiently prepared. We have
pleaded with Dr. Rife to give us another
couple, but he has no one ready.
We thus have now the main station at
Oro (yvhere ,ye live) two out stations,
viz: Ewa and Menen, where we have
church buildings, and the preaching place
at Anibare. Services are held every Sabbath at the three former and every second
Sabbath at the latter station. We have
a midweek pra\ er meeting at Oro every
Wednesday evening, and every moonlight
Thursday evening at Ewa. At all stations there is maintained a daily prayer
meeting by the people themselves. Every
first Thursday afternoon in the month the
church members meet for special instruction and prayer. Mrs. Delaporte and
Kenie conduct their women's meeting
every second Thursday. May God give
us a clean live Church on Nauru.
The attendance at the main school is
about the same as it was two months ago.
while at the Ewa school, since Mrs. Delaporte is able with the help of her wheel,
to get around more and to take classes in
this school also, the number of scholars
has risen to seventy. Quite a number of
little- girls have come in lately. There is
so much to keep the little ones from
school, card playing, smoking and the
many heathen games. Hundreds of natives on the island suffer from severe
asthma and I am sure tobacco, used in
their childhood, has been the cause in
mam instances. Card playing is a dise-ase
with these people. Only the other day
we lost a little girl at the Kwa school
through it. The players, young and old.
stay with it day and night without intermission. Tobacco and coeoanuts are geneialK at stake.
Dr. Rife writes us under date of April
6th that we can have the old Ebott press
for our use. This is indeed good news.
Now we must try and get sufficient type.
I )r. Rife has asked us to inform him what
kind of letters we need and their respec-
tive percentages.
I am forwarding a
statement to him with this mail, authorizing him to make the purchase for us,
charging it to the Nauru Mission Treas-
ury. I presume that they will send the
press with the next mission vessel. Thus,
if the friends at home have not purchased
a press yet, we take pleasure in taking
back our plea, as the Lord has provided
for tis in the above manner. If otherwise, i.e., if the press has been bought
and shipped before this reaches you, it
will he better still, as we shall then have
a new and modern machine.
You will be glad to hear that our twenty-four foot fishing boat is finished and
was successfully launched about the first
low the natives
of May. It is a'beauty.
wondered that we could build a boat. The
first one ever built here, The whites and
natives were very skeptical about our
ability to perform the task, hut a change
in die-ir opinion has taken place. We had
very few tools, in fact we had to manufacture our own boat screws, which to
the eves of a "noat-builder at home would
look strange. We shall now be able to
supply the mission with good fresh fish
whenever we have time and desire it.
I'raise Cod for it. Will it interest you to
hear that the writer on our second fishing expedition hauled out a forty-eight
pounder? On that vacation day we
caught thirty good sized fish, which gave
our boys sufficient food for several days.
Ihe whole outlay for the boat ami fixings,
since we have used much native material,
amounted to say fifty dollars, while we
could not buy its equal for $200 at Jaluit.
Under date of July 12th Mr. Delaporte
mentions the receipt of abundant supplies
I
forwarded from San Francisco, via Sydney and Jaluit of the Marshall Islands.
They are now placed beyond the fear of
want for many months, and express the
deepest thanks to their many friends and
supporters in ibis community.
On the 14th of July, he writes: "We
have much rain at present and the island
look; nice and green again." He then
continues:
"After much prayer on the subject we
opened our third school about a month
ago. This school is situated about three
miles south from the mission station and

running this school somewhat differently
from the Oro and Ewa schools as we do

the Oro school, only three miles distant.
an atJust think of it, we* opened withbetween

tendance of
the age of six and twelve years. What
joy it will be to win these little ones for
Christ! 1 think that we have to stop enlarging our work now, as, with the present force of teachers, we can not do more.
�6
Besides the new school at Menen, Mrs.
Delaporte has started a sort of kindergarten class at the main station. This
class does not entail rhuch extra work as
it meets during regular school hours and
is shared by whatever teacher is off duty
for an hour or so. I think 30 little tots
are coming five times per week from 11
a. m. to 1 p. m. to listen to Bible stories
and other things. We thus endeavor to
sow the good seed into their hearts early
in life. We have arranged that William
and Mrs. Delaporte teach three afternoons
per week in the Ewa school, while Kenie
and myself give the same time to the
Menen school. From 9a. m. to 1 p. m.,
except Mondays, we unite at the main
station.
"We have now finished translating I
and II John and in a few days Matthew
will be completed. I am printing four
copies of these translations to place one in
each district. It will give the people a little food at least until we can print more
cither on a mimeograph or press. I can
not print more on my typewriter as I can
not find time for it.
"July 29th we shall, D. V., be able to
baptize six more people, which will give
us a church membership of forty-six.
Among these six candidates is another
chief and wife."
At the latest date, Aug. 18th, all were
well. In this letter he speaks of individual believers in whose hearts there is evidence of the grace of God. Also mentions the first celebration of a Christian
marriage ceremony observed upon the
island.
Speaking of the temper of his Christar people he says:

THE FORWARD MOVEMENT IN JAPAN
Note.—It is perhaps hardly necessary to say
that in preparing this paper, the writer has
quoted freely from both manuscript and written reports. It has seemed best to do so without giving the authority and credit in each
instance.
The question of a Twentieth Century Forward Movement in Japan was first openly discussed in April 1000. at an annual meeting of
the "Evangelical Alliance of the Protestant
Church of Japan," when it was voted to raise
$5,000 for such' a movement.
In October of that year a Conference of all
the Protestant Missionaries pf Japan was held
THE FRIEND
in Tokyo, and they heartily endorsed the plan
for such a movement; joint committees of missionaries and Japanese workers being appointed
to plan and direct the work In each of the sixteen districts into which the country was by
them divided. It was felt that such a movement
would tend to strengthen the spirit of concord
among the churches, and would emphasize before the world the essential unity of Christians,
would be an object-lesson of the truth that
all who by faith are united to our Lord Jesus
arc indeed one Body. The Committee was to
arrange for some of the most efficient and successful workers to visit each of the sixteen
districts, to cooperate with the Uk.il workers.
FltMB the first it was felt that success in the
undertaking depended upon the spirituality and
tlic cooperation of the Christian people of
Japan, the laymen as well as the evangelists.
Trie committee adopted as its motto, "Our
by Might nor by
Country for
Power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord' ";
and during the last months of the Old Century
all through the country, the churches were
planning and organizing for an Advance- Movement. Pastors, missionaries and evangelists
began to increase their efforts to deepen in believers a sense of their personal responsibility
tn .jive the gospel to others.
Early in the New Century, special meetings
began to be held all over the land. One of the
missionaries wrote "De-spite the millions of unbelievers, many of whom are opposcrs, and the
deadening influence* of intemperance and mi
morality, active everywhere, we seem to be
living in an atmosphere of prayer."
Since then, most encouraging reports have
come from various parts of the Empire, showing that though in some cases hopes have not
been fully realized, yet God has heard prayer,
and Christians have been roused and souls
saved.
In Tokyo, where there is a population of
nearly a million and a half, and where- are
many of the oldest and best pastors, the work
has been very encouraging. Karly in the century preaching services began to be held every
evening in sonic one of the different wards of
the city; the workers meeting at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon for prayer. These prayer-meetings increased in interest until the large church
in which they were held was filled to its utmost
capacity. Men. women and children were
eager as never before to help carry on the
work. Processions were formed to march
through the streets, carrying banners and singing hymns, and scattering announcements of
the preaching services. The quiet, dignified
decorum of diesc processions, contrasting
strongly with die turbulent saki-drinking of
the Buddhist festivals, of itself attracted attention and the- impression was deepened by the
fact that all clashes of society were working
hand to hand. Government officials and coolies
kneeling side by ride to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God heard the prayers, and His power began to be felt. At the
close of each preaching service, the name and
address was taken of each one who was ready
to confess his faith in Christ, or wanted to put
'limsclf under Christian in miction, and about
ix thousand names were thus given, and an
•Itort was made to bring each one under the
nfhiencc of some earnest Christian. The ininilse of the hour was probably not always lasting, but it has been estimated diat over a thou.and members have been added to the Tokyo
churches up to the present lime, and the end
is not vet.
Some of the stories that have come to us
it' remarkable eases of conversion, and of <le
\otion to the work of saving souls show clear
ly that the work has been God's work, not
man's. A member of the nobility, connected
with the Railway Bureau, and having over
5,000 workmen in his charge, as bead of the
construction department, a Christian himself,
became impressed with a sense of his responsibility for teaching those men their duty to love
and obey God. He went among them, distributing announcements of the meetings, and tried
to tell them of the love of God. But he was a
poor speaker, and the men only laughed at his
efforts. Nevertheless, he prayed and worked
on. until, finally, a Christian brother, who had
more gifts as a speaker, saw his work anel became interested lo help him, and the two soon
began to have eager listeners, and a large number of the workmen have been brought to a
realizing sense of the mercy of God.
A policeman, becoming converted, set hiinselk to seek the conversion of the three thousand men on the city police force, and at last
accounts, eleven of them had been brought to
Christ by his efforts.
A man was giving himself up to gambling
and saki-drinking from morning till night,
constantly ill-treating his wife and children.
Being led to a preaching service one night the
Word of God pierced his heart and he decided,
right there, with God's help to give up his evil
ways and lead an honest life. He bravely announced his decision before the crowd of people, confessed his sins and prayed to God for
forgiveness. That evening, when he went
home and told his wife what he had done she
was. of course, greatly astonished, and said "If
the Christian doctrine can bring a change of
heart to such a man as you, it must be a good
religion. I think I'll go and hear it too. The
next night the husband and wife went together
lo church, and continued to do so, until the
wife- made up her mind to follow Christ, and
the place which had been the scene of so much
discord, became a happy home.
One night there crept into the church the
leader of a band of one hundred burglars, to
which he had belonged for fifteen years, having been in prison four times. His interest
was awakened, and he came again and again,
until the fourth time he was brought to a decision to give himself to Christ.
A young man of twenty-nine years of age
who had lived a dissolute life, had resolved to
kill himself, as life was no longer worth living.
He had a paramour who was resolved to die
with him, and he had purchased a sword and
left it with her. The next night, as he was
on his way to her house, expecting to see her
die, and then take his own life, he came upon
a crowd of people, and involuntarily stopped
to see what was the matter. It was in front
of a street chapel, and a speaker was telling
of Christ's offer of Salvation. After a little,
all interested were invited to come inside the
chapel for a quiet talk. The man went in,
heard the wonderful story of the Prodigal
Son. recognized his own picture, and turned
to his Heavenly Father for forgiveness.
Many such striking scenes have attracted
attention and been reported as showing that
God has answered prayer and revealed His
power to reach the most hardened sinner. In
the spring of 1901, Mr. Sidney Gulick wrote
of thirty inquirerers as the result of a recent
scries of meeting in Matsuyama. A few months
later he wrote that twenty of the thirty had
been baptized, and now as tht result of another scries of meetings, thirty-five more had
come forward as inquirers. Among the number thus reached is a man who was a drunkard. He has become very earnest in Christian
work and is devoting all his energies to the establishment and maintenance of a Christian
home for young girls—employes in a large silk
factory. Beside giving them a comfortable
home, morning and evening classes are established for the relays of day and night laborers,
and many of the girls eagerly avail themselves

TEMPERANCE ISSUES
Edited by

:
REV. W. D. WESTERVELT
Since the last issue of Tiif. Fkiknd one
of the most faithful temperance workers
in the Islands has laid aside her work.
Miss Mary Green was indefatigable in
her attention to the every-day details of
duty. She cared for many little things
and the treasure laid up in heaven may
well be envied.
At the close of the funeral services in
Kawaiahao church, a United States soldier said to the writer. "Miss Green was
the means of my conversion. She met
me on the street, spoke to me kindly, invited me to her home and told me about
Jesus Christ." Many a soldier passing
through Honolulu received a greeting on
the sidewalk, from a plainly dressed,
kindly-faced woman. Sometimes there
were a few pages of reading matter, and
usually an earnest word for spiritual welfare. Miss Green could never tell how
many soldiers and sailors she had thus
addressed.
"She taught them and they learned but none
the less
Remained unconscious whence that lore they
drew,
But dreamed that of their native nobleness
The lofty thoughts which she had planted,
grew.
The sower passing onward was not known,
And all men reaoed the harvest as their own."
Mrs. J. M. Whitney says that in 1885
Miss Green began to organize "Hawaiian
Temperance Societies," with the result of
eleven societies and over 500 pledge signers. The second year's endeavor showed
a growth to nineteen societies with 1,019
members. By the close of the next year
there were 32 Hawaiian Temperance Societies. Then came physical failure and
the later years of more quiet toil.
It is true that the enormous increase of
licensed and unlicensed saloons since that
time, has undone a great part of her
work, but that detracts nothing from the
fact that she made an earnest effort toward saving the Hawaiians. Her reward
is exactly the same as if fullest success
had resulted."
The United States law regarding temperance instruction in the schools of the
various territories needs to have public
attention frequently called to it. It is a
subject which will bear a great deal of
agitation in the Territory of Hawaii. It
s very definite and strong in both its requirements and penalties. Surely those
who are interested in the education of the
children of the territory should inform
themselves of the opportunity legally
usual branches of knowledge shall be followed by removal. In this case the failure is considered so important that removal from office is made compulsory and
is plainly stated.

narcotics, and this is to be given "in the
same manner as other like required
branches in said schools." Some teachers have thought they fulfilled the law if
they once in a while mentioned the evil
results of the habitual use of intoxicants,
but this is evidently not the intention of
the law. The law appears to desire to
warn the children and teach them how to
protect themselves. Warning is not sufficient.
Notice Section 2:
Sec. 2.—That it shall be the duty of the
proper officers in control of any school described in the foregoing section to enforce the
provisions of this act; and any such officer,
school director, committee, superintendent, or
teacher who shall refuse or neglect to comply
with the requirements of this act, or shall
neglect or fail to make proper provisions for
the instruction required and in the manner
specified by the first section of this act, for all
pupils in each and every school under his jurisdiction, shall be removed from office, and the
vacancy filled as in other cases.
The duty of the Board of Education,
the Superintendent of Public Instruction
and his assistants, the school inspectors,
and the various school agents, is made
very plain in this section. The school officers are required to see that the provisions of the law are carried out in the
schools under their care.
Ordinarily a failure, or refusal, to teach
any particular branch, is not specifically
mentioned. It is an ordinary rule that
neglect to give information and teach the
ask the teachers how much systematic instruction is given in their schools. It does
no harm to strengthen every good work
any teacher feels it a duty to undertake in
the school life.
The three points of these three sections
will not have any too much agitation in
this territory—(i) "Thoroughly taught,"
(2) Removal from position in case of failure, (3) No certificates without an examination along this line.
Teachers themselves can aid in securing the fulfillment of this law. They are
usually in full sympathy with the better
morals of this community, but do not
know what to do. In this United States
law a plain, simple path of duty is marked
out. No teacher in these islands can be
blamed for walking in that path, especially since a strict interpretation of the law
would require removal in case of failure.
After all the real truth is that the morals of the future depend upon the lessons
the children learn today, and the best
work school teachers and officers can do
is to follow the example of Mary Green
and attend 'o the everyday details of
duty.
As a large portion of our December
edition has been disposed of on Mainland, the management of The Friend
would like to have Island orders
come in early.

The reconciliation of a man's soul with
Christ is, I will not say one of the easiest,
but one of the simplest things in life.
Have you ever had a quarrel with your
father and mother? You have, unless
you have been an exceedingly good boy.
Do not you recollect how you diel some
wrong that you did not want your parents to know ; and how you feared that
they would find it out; and how you
looked to see if they knew it, after the
servant had threatened to tell them, and
thought they did when they did not; how
rill this time you shrank from them; and
how, by-and-by, they expressed a confidence in you which showed that they did
not know it; and how an impulse came
over you to make a clean breast of the
matter, and you went to your mother and
burst into tears, and told her yourself,
and put your head in her lap, and cried;
and how you felt better; and how, the
first thing you knew, her hand was on
your hair, and she said, "Well, my child,
I am sorry you did wrong; but you have
done right now in coming to me and telling me. 1 do not believe you will do it
any more. Look up, and kiss me;" and
how she put her arms about you, and
drew you to her. Was it not the sweetest
and best way, when you had done wrong,
to go and tell your mother, and get her
blessing? If you do not know, I do, how
good it was, when I had done wrong, to
be reconciled, so that I could go on again
with a light heart, singing like a bird.
Now the Lord Jesus Christ is dearer
than any mother, sweeter than any parent, more tender than any lover, better
than any friend. Most gracious and helpful is your God. Go to him. On your
way you may stop and tell your minister
or friend; but go straight to God and
say, "Father, I have done wrong; take
me and help me."
H. W. Bccchcr.
Do not tell me that confession is all a
degrading thing. Do not tell me that it
is all a painful thing. It is painful as
long as you strive against it; it is rendered painful by many of the lacerations
of expiation; but, after all, through confession of sin and renunciation, .ye come
to an atmosphere in which we breathe the
very breath of heaven itself. No one who
has done wrong can feel so happy as he
who has come out of it, and has not covered it up, but has forsaken it, and confessed it, and risen beyond it. That is
the royal way.
Some of the highest and most noble experiences that men have in this world arc
those that they have when they have overcome a wrong, clearly, avowedly, and are
'
conscious in their whole being that they
stand beyond it; when they have con| fessed it to God and forsaken it; when

of the opportunity to learn to read and write
their own language: learning also Christian
hymns, so that in place of the obscene songs
which used to be heard while they were at
work, now tne "words of life and beauty" ring
out unon the air.
From all over the land have come similar
stories of_ the transforming power of the Gospel. In Tottori, a notoriously profligate physician has become a pillar in the church, publicly and private seeking to win souls to Christ.
After a series of preaching services where
many have openly declared themselves to be
inquirer*, it becomes very necessary for the
workers to devote their time and strength
largely to the work of personal instruction of
Mich inquirers. Dr. Pettee writes from Okayama that feeling that the ordinary weekly
Bible classes are not enough to lead on the one
hundred and more new believers, a band of
eighteen devoted men and women are giving
time daily to the work of reading the Bible
with them.
The great gain to the Christian church in
Japan in this opening of the Century is not
teen merely in the additions to the member•hip, or even in the wonderfully transformed
lives of many of the Christians. Christianityhas won the attention and respect of the thinking people of the land, and doors are opened
wide for Christian work. Y. M. C. As. are
being organized in Government schools and
colleges as well as in distinctively Christian
schools, and in many ways it is evident that
public sentiment in regard to Christianity is
changed. But with all this to cheer and encourage, comes the cry of distress that the
great need of more well-equipped preachers
and pastors is not yet met. Christian young
men of talent—university graduates—are not
giving themselves to the work. To them it
means loss, financially and socially, and seemingly they are not ready for the sacrfice. It is
too early yet, perhaps, to know just how much
help has been given in this direction by the
\idts of Dr. Torrey and Mr. Mott. The former. President of the Moody Institute in Chicago, reached Japan last January, and visited
ten of the principal cities of Central and
Southern Japan during his stay of four weeks.
His work served to greatly strengthen the
faith of all in the power of the Word of God,
faithfully proclaimed.
Mr. Mott, Secretary of the World's Student
Christian Federation, was in Japan in the
Autumn of 1001, in response to repeated requests from the Student Christian Union of
Japan. He visited seven of the largest cities,
holding meetings for young men—over sixteen
hundred young men giving their names and
addresses as inquirers. Mr. Mott was the first
distinctively Christian speaker to be invited to
speak to the students of the Tokyo university.
He there addressed four hundred students on
"The Influence of Christianity on the Students
of All Lands. Everywhere Christian teachers
and students enthusiastically co-operated in
M r. Mott's work, and over one thousand students gave their names as earnest inquirers.
In a Student Volunteer Conference held at
Karuizawa last summer the question of how to
get the needed supply of educated, earnest
Christian workers was discussed, various hindrances noted, and finally, after the necessity
had been urged of making direct appeal to
Christian students, both individually and in
groups, to enter the ministry, Dr. Hail laid
upon the members of the convention the duty
and privilege of prayer, the the supreme method of overcoming all obstacles. Miss Julia
Gulick, who was present, and reported the
Conference, wrote in conclusion, "Dear relatives and friends, all who read (or hear) this

letter —You can help in this matter. Remoteness from Japan is not the slightest barrier to

THE AUTUMN MEETING OF THE
KAUAI ASSOCIATION
The Kauai Association held its autumn
meeting at Lihue, Oct. 8-10. It is the
custom now to meet there, as Lihue is a
centre, easily reached in a day from either
extremity of the island. The entertainment of the pastors and delegates is kindly attended to by certain men and women
of the church. Generous donations of
meat are received, and whatever other expenses arc incurred are met by a common
fund. The food is prepared on the ample
grounds of the church, which are pleasant and shady, and the tables are spread
m the old church, which is in the rear of
the new one.
In the absence of Mr. Lydgate, the Inst/aitc work was omitted this year. The
matter of adequate pastoral support was
discussed to a considerable length and
he lay brethren were assured that if they
were faithful in raising what they could
for their ministers, their white friends
would not be backward with generous
aid.
Rev. G. L. Kopa has accepted the
judgeship of Waimea. In doing this he
does not abanelon the ministry. He still
retains the care of the church, although
he is now only acting pastor.
Rev. S. Kaili, of Hanalei, is the Republican candidate for Representative, and
Rev. S. Kaauwai, of Kapaa, is the "Home
Rule" candidate.
In the island of Maui, Rev. E. M. Hanuna, of Hana, has been nominated on
the Republican ticket; on Hawaii Rev.
Mr. Desha, of Hilo, is Republican candidate for Senator, and when the government wanted a good man for the judgeship at the leper settlement, Molokai,
they selected our missionary resident
there, Rev. J. M. Naeole.
It is to the credit of our Hawaiian ministry that they are so frequently asked to
take these positions of influence. It is indicative of the fact that they are influential among their people and that they
have the respect of our rulers as well.
We are not among those who would
willingly have our ministry secularized,
\et we recognize the fact that there are
times when special men, even though they
be ministers, are called to represent the
peorle in legislative work and we believe
that Mr. Desha, if he should be elected
Senator, would be a power for good. He
would rebuke corruption and race hatred,
as he has already in the campaign which
is now being carried on. As a preacher
of righteousness and fair dealing, he wall
have before him, if elected, a fine opportunity in the coming legislature.
The one painful incident of the meeting of the Kauai Association was the suspension of Rev. Z. M. Naahumakua from
the ministry for most reprehensible conduct, of which he confessed himself
guilty when charges were brought. The
encouraging feature of the case is that
his own brother ministers brought the
plainly merited charges and sustained the
judgement.
Mr. L. M. Mitchell, who for the past
few years has been one of our active ministers and who for two years was a missionary in the Gilbert Islands, has, at his
own request, been dismissed from the
ministry.
Rev. J. Kanoho, late of Lihue, takes
charge of the church of Koolau.
