turned from the endeavor to enthrone
righteousness in the legislative side of
civic life to that of aggressive Christian propaganda. There is something
splendidly healthful about the life that
a downright disciple of Jesus must
lead in this more than semi-pagan community. It is sleeves rolled up and
into the fray every day, with a new sort
of battle continually menacing. The
Honoulu Christian must be an allaround fighter. Today it is the saloon,
tomorrow the Asiatic Sunday; one moment the legalized brothel, the next a
decaying church, and then close upon

most needs in Honolulu is this personal
grapple with the heathenism all about
us. We speak not so much of heathenism in religious system as of heathenism in daily living. If the revival had
any vital message for you, translate it
into personal activity for other people
and so prove its reality.
AChallenge to Christians
"What are you going to do with
these girls?" This was the poser asked
by High Sheriff Henry recently of a
Christian man who had fought tooth
and nail against Iwilei, as they stood
one" Sunday morning facing an iron
screen on the top floor of the new jail,
and looking through the bars into the
facts of a dozen young women. "I
could fill the jail with them, but when
we turn them out there is no place for
them to go but back to their former
life. What will you Christians do with
them ?" It was a question inspired by
God's Spirit. And if we followers of
Jesus do not set about finding an answer we are the meanest hypocrites in
Christendom. We have no right to
insist that these girls be arrested if
we cannot help them and society thereby. We can help them. How? By
doing, for instance, what is done in
Brooklyn by the Helping Hand and
in many other places by similar agencies. Let our Christian women erect
an institution in which useful trades
or occupations shall be taught and to
which the courts will be glad to commit these girls for terms sufficient to
enable them to learn how to earn an
honest living. Put some noble-hearted
sagacious mother-soul in charge, and
when the girls have served their terms
let them be kept in sight, provided
with work and tided over into right
living. A large proportion can be
saved by such Christian treatment. In
�4
the face of this demand what has the
revival in the souls of Christian women in Honolulu to say? If this sort of
thing issues from the spiritual uplift
brought to many during May month,
the movement will mark a historical
era in this Territory. Remember,
many of these girls are Porto Ricans,
unable to find work, incapable of doing
for themselves, fitted by our civilization for nothing other than to become
the prey of the lustful.
The Eighty=Third Milestone
The Evangelical Association meeting this year lacked entirely the splendid finish of its predecessor at Lihue.
Called together in great haste, with
scarcely sufficient time to notify its
members, and without leisure for adequate preparation, evidences of forethought were conspicuously absent.
There had been no opportunity to complete arrangements with transportation companies or to organize entertainment committees. Delegates had
to camp out as best they could, but all
realized that good things of an unusual
order were in store, and no complaints
were heard. Business proved remarkable for its absence.
Only routine
matters came up for treatment, and
these were quickly gotten out of the
way. The presence of the evangelists
from the mainland had been the cause
of gathering in such an unusual manner and naturally the Rible conference
absorbed the interest. The complete program tells the story of the week of meetings. From first to last they were of vital
power.
The addresses, internreted
with great force by Rev. Mr. Desha,
produced profound and lasting impressions.
The simultaneous meetmes of the various races, held in different parts of Kawaiahao Church
during certain hours constituted an
innovation which will be followed in
future annual gatherings. In fact, the
ministry of the Association is steadily
trowing in richness and power. The
delegates returned home with renewed
consecration, and many of them with
a fresh spiritual baptism.

What for the New Year
Our debt is paid. The relief of this
statement no one can know who has not
shared the burden of the past four years.
We are very grateful to the generous
friends who rallied to our call for help
a few months since and we realize to
the fullest extent the timely assistance
of the American Missionary Association
through the instrumentality of which
our Tsland friends were convinced that
the Christian enterprise in Hawaii had
received a mainland backing insuring
constantly larger things. With a missionary society effort never ceases, however, and even while the hurrahs are
sounding over one victory. the next battle must be planned. What has been
done this year can certainly be repeated.
Nay. can we not better it? We ought
to have an income from these Islands of
&io.ooo to meet the demands of our
field. Our constituency mnv be assured
of the strictest economy in the future as
in the nast. There are two Congreeational Churches in the city of Brooklyn
whose members number about 4.300
and whose home expenditures total
somewhat over $48,000. If the amount
of work done by the Board through its
scores of pastors, evaneelists and teachers be compared with that of these two
mio-htv churches, some notion may be
rained of the wide extent of territory
covered and the variety of agencies supported by the 145.500 expended here.

nature than this? If not. will you not

things he had never before hoped to
get." Something should be said on both
sides of these statements. First, concessions in the shape of redress of
wrongs can never be granted too quickly. Stories frequently come to us of
cruelties which should never be allowed
for a moment upon a plantation. Lunas
should be instructed that a single blow
deliveretl against any laborer except in
self defense means instant dismissal, and
plantation hands should know that insubordination will receive like treatment. Opportunity should be given laborers to report cruel handling to the
manager. We have it on good authority that every strike will be found to
have at its foundation some instance of
brutality. Of course, we cannot vouch
for this statement. As often pointed out
the Japanese professional agitator is altogether too much in evidence in this
Territory. The plantation has it in its
power to rid itself of much of this kind
of evil by ending the collusion between
policemen and the gambling, womanrenting element. No quarter should be
shown these birds of prey, and no community on earth can be found to equal
a sugar plantation in the possibility of
getting rid of such ill-omened vultures.
Here is the place where concessions
made to Japanese tell directly in the line
suggested by the Advertiser. The Japanese will respect rigorous treatment of
gamblers and brothel keepers. Right
in this line comes that other sort of concession which has led so many Christians at the head of sugar enterprises to
compromise with Buddhism by contributions of money to build temples and
maintain priests and schools in order to
win the good will of the laborers. Such
a conscienceless procedure never attains
its object. With slight change we reecho the sentiments of our big brother
the Advertiser "It seems to us that such
concessions to the Japanese should stop.
As a rule the Asiatic looks upon a cowardly concession as an act of fear, and
it emboldens him to ask for things he
had never before hoped to get." For
a Christian to help build Buddhist temples, employ Buddhist priests and erect
or maintain Buddhist schools in order
to keep the Japanese laborer contented
is a cowardly concession and is recognized as such by the little brown man who
laughs in his sleeve at him who makes
it and proceeds to insist upon still more
unreasonable demands.

bulks well in population. Its white
American Protestant population, however, is small. It has not the reserves
that appear in cities on the mainland
and crowd to such a series of meetings as the one just closed. It is to be
doubted whether any community on
earth with so few really active disciples
is carrying on so extensive and so
costly a Christian enterprise as is the
case with Honolulu. The audiences
told a great story of courage, and instead of dismaying, fired all hearts
with new boldness. "Fear not, little
flock ; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the Kingdom."
This word of Jesus has come with vital
meaning and encouragement to us all.

a warm-hearted, thoroughly
trained
enthusiast of Christ. It was a revelation to many, for in Mr. Butler the
highest culture has become the handmaid of the Cross, as it should he.
Some of us, who have longetl ami
sighed for just such a day, are readyto shout for joy, for our eyes have seen
the salvation of the Lord.
And Dr. Ostrom—God bless him!—
is himself one type of the new evangelist.
In the first place, he never
breathes a hint that he or anyone else
ever heard of such a thing as the
Higher Criticism. The era of foolish
polemics is over and each man, cherishing his own theories of the Blessed
Book, may now go on unmolested in
his search into this God-given mine of
Truth. No stirring of prejudices, no
shibboleths of the unessential, no tirades against the Church, no pillorying of this or that Christian who lias
brought reproach upon the cause, but
a faithful, searching setting forth of
the good tidings in Jesus Christ. A
present day gospel, that is to say, just
as new and vital today as nineteen
hundred years ago, was proclaimed so
vigorously and truthfully that it gripped everyone present. Dr. Ostrom is
loveable and loving, stern in his dealing with sin, persistent, patient, eloquent, can tell a story well, is not
afraid of a laugh and knows how to
talk homely Anglo-Saxon. He is apt
to prolong the service, so as to tax at
times the endurance of the people who
live in this climate, where late hours
cannot be indulged healthfully. Hut
even here he shows practical acquaintance with good psychological laws and
inasmuch as such services are only occasional, it is of no moment. In the
after meeting Dr. Ostrom is ever new
and very winsome. He tolerates nothing half way, appeals never to the
merely emotional, does not work up
his audiences, convinces the reason,
gets at the will in rare fashion, and
leaves men strong. He is the best introducer of men to Jesus that we have
ever known among evangelists. In
fact, his only message is, "Get into personal touch with Christ." He well
knows that the Master will tlo the rest.
Now all this goes to make up a picture distinctly modern in evangelism.
The.flings at evolution, at newer critical thought are gone forever. The
man has graduated into the larger,
higher plane of liberty, where each one
keeps his differences to himself, or for
friendly interchange, while he lives in
the spirit of the Christian brotherhood,
and constantly preaches a living, regnant Jesus, humanity's King and Savior. The ethical note sounds loud and
clear, as it always has tlone in fact with
every evangelist worthy of the name.
The new evangelism has come at last
and turns out to be gloriously old. Let
its thank God, join hands and press onward.
The campaign abounded in the picIt was characteristic of
Honolulu's strategic character ami
gloriously prophetic. The ships came
and went, brought their men to the
services, where they met their Master,
and then left to carry Him and His
Gospel with them to far away shores.
■All races gathered side by side and realized their human ami divine unity.
The Bible Conference, into which the
Territorial Association resolved itself,
knew no denominational or other lines.
It provided equally for the Koreans,
who are Methodists, as for the Japanese and Chinese, who are Congregate malists. Names counted nothing,
only men. It was all "Very good," as
God said at the creation.
And the results? The ancient liebrew had the idea that Jehovah hated
enumerations. In this statistic-mad
age some of us think him not so far
wrong after all. The Churches are receiving a goodly number of additions,
just how many we have not heard.
Certainly a great many Christians have
gained new vital power. The whole
city of English-speaking people has
been moved, the very criticisms show
that. But these evidences argue little.
The first seen things must he superficial in such a movement. After a
year has gone by we can begin to get
a better perspective. Indications point
to far wider and deeper results than
can now be guessed. Way out in country places and among simple folk of

S.
HIGHER CRITICS VS. MACHPELAH.
As we all know, the advanced and
prevailing school of Higher Critics
have quite settled it among thmselves
that the Hexateuch is unhistorical.
Those earlier books of the HebrewScriptures are entirely the compositions of a scries of later writers and
editors, mostly not earlier than 750 B.
C. Nothing is really known of the
great Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. They are probably names of
Hebrew tribes, and not of individuals.
Even Moses is mainly a myth. That
portion of the Bible may be morally
instructive, but is not to be taken as
sober fact.
Now, these settled conclusions of
the Critics are not based upon anything but their own fantastic guesses,
except a philosophic conclusion that
miracles and supernatural events are
merely dreams and
superstitions.
There is no substantial, historical basis
for those conclusions, nothing but
their own unbelieving dreams anil fancies. So far as explorations in Bible
Lands have gone, they tend to confirm
the verity of Genesis and the patriarchal stories. Up to the present time,
excavations have been confined to
Egypt and Babylonia. Palestine, below
the surface, remains almost entirely
unexplored, owing to the jealousy of
the Turkish Government. A vast field
of information there awaits exploration. What little has been accomplished in the Holy Land confirms
the narratives of the Hexateuch.
One grand witness of portentous importance remains silent and unquestioned. That is the Cave of Machpelah. According to Genesis XXIII,
Abraham bought from Ephron the
Hittite, the field and cave of Machpelah for a burial place for his wife,
Sarah. There Sarah was buried ; Abraham followed her to the same tomb,
ami probably Isaac. Jacob was also
buried there. Joseph and his other
suns carried thither his embalmed
body from Egypt, and interred it with
a great mourning. Arc those remains of
the patriarchs now in that tomb? Can
their presence testify to the truth of
the history?
The tomb of Machpelah still exists
near Hebron. It is well known.
Through all the vicissitudes that have
passed over Palestine, it is believed to
have remained undisturbed. It has al-

ways been an object of most sacred regard, alike to Jews, Mohammedans and
Christians. Since the Crusades, for
800 years the Mohammedans have jealously guarded the Holy Tomb. It was
by special permission of the Sultan,
visited, but not penetrated, by the
young Prince of Wales and Dean Stanley, the only Europeans who have ever
passed within its outer courts.
Whenever the Jewish people again
come into the possession of their ancient home, which event seems to be
in the near future, it is probable that a
period of eager exploration will immediately begin. No spot will appeal
more urgently for their reverent and
searching investigation than the burial
place of Abraham, Sarah and Jacob,
and probably others of the family. The
bodies of most of them may have fallen
into decay. But the mummy of Jacob
is probably still perfect and intact,
with its expected wealth of testimony
to the Egyptian episodes.
Until this silent witness to history
has yielded up its disclosures, it may
he premature to assume what its testimony will be as to the personal reality of those patriarchs, whose existence these brave critics undertake to
deny. But what rash assumption is
theirs tooffer such denial, in the known
presence of such a potent witness, who
still abides unquestioned. Nay, what
effrontery is theirs to venture such denial. When the locality is so well
known, so verified and so consecrated
by the venerating worship of thirtysix hundred years.
And this, the chief, is only one of
hundreds of minor witnesses still buried beneath the soil of the Holy Land
waiting to testify to the historical verity of the sacred narratives. We may
continue to accept their truth and be
guided by their teachings, regardless
of the fantastic inventions of the Critics, whose unbelief has so shamefully
infected our Churches ami Theological

A VISIT TO THE DOSHISHA.
One of the places of great interest in
Kyoto is the Doshisha College. It is now
about thirty years since this educational
work was started, and many of the workers in various places in Japan, have had
their training here. During a two or
three days' stay in this old capital of
Japan, a visit to the Doshisha was much
enjoyed, and it was a great pleasure to
speak to the young men there, and tell
them something of the work and needs
of Hawaii. I was especially interested
in seeing how this institution had grown,
because my father made the first sub-
scription to Mr. Neesima towards starting the college.
The morning that I spoke in the chapel
to the students gathered there, one of the
professors told the following story, as
an introduction, and explained how Mr.
Neesima started the Doshisha. It was
after he had finished his studies in America and was just about to return to
Japan, that he attended the sixty-fifth
annual meeting of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions,
which was held at Rutland, Vermont, on
(
let.
gth,
1874.
He had spoken before, to Secretary
Clark and Mr. Hardy of the Board, in
reference to his great hope for a Christian College for Japan, but had received
little encouragement. At the meeting,
however, he was asked to say a few
words. He arose to his feet, and with
great hesitation faced the meeting. It
seemed as if he did not know what to
say, so that the chairman leaned over and
whispered: "Say anything Mr. Neesima,
repeat the Lord's Prayer." But it was
not that, his heart was too full for his
beloved Japan. He remembered Mr.
Hardy's word just before the meeting:
"Joseph, the matter looks rather dubious,
but you might try it." This was his one
chance to bring the matter of "Higher
Christian Education for Japan," before a
large American audience. He could nut
remember his prepared speech, but new
thoughts came to him, and for fifteen
minutes he poured out his soul for his
one aim. He declared that Japan must
have tliis college and that he would not
leave the platform without the money
he asked for it. The appeal went to the
hearts of his hearers. No sooner had he
finished speaking than my father, Rev.
E. P. Thwing, stood up and said that
he wished to have the pleasure of
giving the first hit of gold to
start this Christian College in I'.pan.
Hon. Peter Parker of Washington, Ex-Governor Page of Vermont,
Hon. William Dodge of New York, and
others followed with liberal subscriptions,
and soon some $5,000.00 was raised towards the fund to start a Christian College in Japan. From this beginning came
the Doshisha, which has been sending out
men to all parts of Japan, and even to
the work in Hawaii. Many friends of
men in I lonolulu were met with. All
seemed to have a great interest in our
work there. The young men also feel
they have a duty towards the greater
Empire of China. Before long the Christian young men of Japan will be among
the missionaries in China. There is a
great future for Japan, and the Church
of Christ is to have her share.

Kyoto, Japan, March 18th, 1905.
MISS SNOW'S FAREWELL.
On Saturday, April 15th, the pupils of
Maunaolu Seminary gave I farewell luau to Miss Snow, the retiring principal.
Besides teachers and pupils, there were
present many parents of the children, the
trustees of the school and a number of
its friends. After the bountiful feast,
farewell addresses were made by Mr.
Hardy for the trustees and by Rev. Mr.
Emerson, and to express the gratitude
of the parents, by Rev. Mr. laea of Haiku and Mr. Kanui of Waihee. Gifts
were then presented to Miss Snow by
each of the four classes, and a beautiful
ode was sung, which was composed by
a member of one of them as a tribute to
the beloved principal.
The idea of the "luau" originated with
the girls, who provided and prepared
everything with the aid of their parents.
It was a total surprise to Miss Snow,
who, by accepting an invitation to spend
the previous night at a neighbor's house,
was kept in entire ignorance till the appointed hour. This is but one of the
strong testimonies to the deep hold she
has won on the hearts of her pupils, and
the high esteem in which she is held by
teachers, trustees and many friends resident on Maui.
Indeed, during the two years of her
stay, she has done a great work in reorganizing the school and placing it on
a basis more thoroughly classified, not
only- academically, hut industrially, besides being more complete in necessary
appointments. An enthusiastic friend has
remarked, "The school work is now so
systematized that with care it will run
itself." The school is placed on a basis
of half-day work, giving a proper division of academic and industrial work,
thus dignifying the latter and giving it
equal value in the minds of the students.
The latest school books have l*ecn introduced and a graded course of study
can noyv be pursued, with certificates and
graduation for those who complete it.
In the seyving department, a practical
course in plain sewing and fitting has
been so developed that the girls will be
able to draft, cut ami make their own
garments. The laundry has been improved by the addition of more modern
appliances and a drying-shed.
The basement and trunk-room, which
once was liable to be afloat in stormy
weather, has now a cemented floor and
is protected by storm sheds. Further
thoughtfulness for the girls has provided
for food and fruit brought them by their
friends; each has now a wire-screen
locker for this purpose.
Miss Snow has also made a good beginning for more efficient hospital service. There are three adjoining rooms,
�THE FRIEND
8
to the windows of which blinds have been
added. Each bed is provided with an
electric bell. The hospital supplies, linen,
utensils, etc., are keot apart and the
training of certain girls in hospital work
has been initiated.
The fact that of the twenty-five or
more girls who were ill during the late
epidemic of typhoid fever which visited
the school, not one life was lost, speaks
well for the faithful devotion, careful
attention and nursing which they received at the hands of Miss Snow and her
assistants.
Though earnestly interested in the development of Maunaolu and reciprocating the affection of her pupils, it seems
to her best to return to Hampton Institute, Virginia, where she taught for fifteen years previous to coming to Maui,
and which suggested to her that for two
years the doors would be held open to
her for her return. She is to be associated with the widow of General Armstrong in the care of one of the departments.
At Maunaolu she is to be ably succeeded by Miss Hensner, one of the teachers
in the academic department.
By Miss Snow's departure, Maui loses
an eminently successful educator and an
exceptional character, who by her large
heart, sincerity and strength, has endeared her to all who have been so happy as
to know her.

WHR
Y OCKEFELLER'S CRIME IS
UNQUESTIONABLE.
In the case of John D. Rockefeller
there is one conspicuous feature establishing the fact of his guilt, which does
not seem to have been noted with adeIt is this: Mr.
quate definiteness.
Rockefeller has been for many years the
conspicuous and tenacious holder of a
vast possession which in the very nature
of the case has been iniquitously acquired and is wrongfully held. That
peculiar possession of his creation and
acquisition is the Absolute Monopoly of
the Oil Refining Business of the whole
United States. The fact is notorious
and undeniable that, save at the penalty
of being relentlessly crushed, no man or
set of men can make and sell Refined Oil
without the consent of the Standard Oil
Company, which Mr. Rockefeller created
and of which he is the chief proprietor,
becoming thereby the wealthiest private
individual on this Globe.
Now such a monopoly as that of the
handling of oil from wells all over the
United States, which are the property of
a multitude of different men, is in the
nature of the case an artificial and unrighteous monopoly. It is necessarily a
grand Public Robbery. The man who
created and holds such a monopoly cannot possibly have acquired it except by
iniquity. He cannot honestly possess it.
He cannot have righteously acquired it.
It is a vast public property which he
has gathered into his private possession
by cunning means and methods which
are necessarily wicked. We do not need to
explore those means and methods before
arriving at a conclusive and irrefutable
judgment upon his conduct. He stands
conspicuously forth as a Giant Robber
parading before the whole nation with
the plunder upon his person. The actual
means and methods employed in effectuating this enormous robbery have
been fully set forth by Miss Ida B. Tarbell. But we do not at all need Miss
Tarbell's very conclusive expositions to
settle the fact that Mr. Rockefeller is
such a robber, simply because the entire
public see him shamelessly holding in
his clutch a vast property which is in
the nature of the case a plunder from
other men.
The Prudential Committee of the
American Board have formally declared
with the support of a great majority of
the corporate members that "It is impossible for this committee to investigate the subject sufficiently to be warranted in passing judgment over the
heads of the Church and the civil
courts." "Membership in good standing
in the Christian Church should be regarded as sufficient evidence of worthiness for solicitation for the work of the
Board." That is, since Mr. Rockefeller
holds good standing in the Baptist
Church, he is presumptively an honest
man, and not the colossal pirate which
the whole people of the United States
clearly discern him to be.
We repel as futile and absurd the
charge that we who would have none of
his money are Lynchers, trying him by
mob law. Let those who take of his
plunder beware lest they participate in
his shame!
S. E. BISHOP.
companion have received a warm welcome in Honolulu, and he has immediately entered upon a short term of ministering to the Nuuanu Street Japanese
Congregational Church, to fill a vacancy
until the soon expected arrival of Rev.
Koki to whom this Church has sent a
strong call.
Mr. J. Fukuda, who has completed
nearly three years of faithful service at
Lihue, Kauai, is now at Hamakua, Hawaii, seeking to gain a foothold for
evangelistic service among the many
thousands of his needy countrymen in
that flourishing portion of our favored
islands.
Mr. Komeji Komuro, one of our

has had the benefit of six years of
schooling in the Hilo Boarding School,
and one year under the instruction of
Rev. J. Leadingham, has now completed
a two years' course at The Moody Bible
Institute, from which he graduated with
high honors in December, IQO4.
He has reached Oakland, and is expected to arrive in Honolulu very soon,
with the prospect of joining Dr. Baker
in his missionary work for the people of
the many races who dot the high lands,
or nestle on the peaceful shores of
elysian Kona.

Honolulu climate seemed to realize the
claim of this joyous occasion and responded
by clothing the 19th day of May with the
beauty of perfect Hawaiian weather, than
which the world has none better. By three
o'clock the spacious lawns of the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Theodore Richards, who so kindly
acted as host and hostess, began to be
thronged with friends, Hawaiian, Japanese,
Portuguese and Anglo-Saxon, gathered to
bring messages of friendship and congratulation to Rev. and Airs. Orramel H. Gulick,
whose energy and youthful spirit seem to defy

an hour of informal social interchange, Hon.
Peter C. Jones summoned all friends to the
grassy amphitheater in front of the house and
called upon Hon. W. R. Castle to present the
congratulations of the Hawaiian Mission
Children's Society, of which he is President:
Mr. Castle said:
The very pleasant duty has devolved on me
of conveying to you the cordial greetings of
your cousins, the children of the Hawaiian
Mission.
Reading the pages of the Third Annual Report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society it appears that, "following the usual
opening exercises of the annual meeting, which
was held in the old school house in Kawaiahao, O H.. Gulick, Esq., our second President, was united in marriage with our Third
MRS. A.
Vice-President, Ann E. Clarke, by Rev. J. D.
Strong."
This very interesting report continues, An
opportunity being offered, appropriate and encouraging remarks were made by the Reverend Fathers Thurston, Coan, Armstrong and
Smith."
One cannot help wishing that some of these
appropriate and encouraging remarks had
been preserved, for may it not be said, you
are with us today because you observed and
followed the words of encouragement and
wisdom dropped by these venerable Fathers.

think first of all of your birth as children of
Christian missionaries, and of the training
and influences you received in your early life
among those devoted people who, yvith your
parents, were seeking to establish the Kingdom of Christ in the Island World.
The fact has come to our knowledge that
the 28th of May next, is another anniversary,
the 57th, of the day in 1848, when with twelve
other children of missionaries at the Islands,
you both made your open confession of faith
and were united to Christ's Church. You
have walked together in the Christian life
even longer than you have in the marriage
relation.
We congratulate you as we recall your
united earthly service at the Islands, and especially in connection with the establishment
of the Female Boarding School at Waialua.
From 1870 onward you were permitted to do
royal work in Japan, especially at Kobe and
Niigata. You were among the first to enter
that land in Christ's name, and proclaim
among an unenlightened people the message
of Christ's love. You saw the Kingdom of
Heaven in that land in its stage as a mustard
seed, but before you left it had grown to be a
great tree. Together you toiled for Christ
among the Japanese, winning them to the
Saviour. And when in the great movements
of God's providence so many of the Japanese
to whom you had devoted your lives, came to
Hawaii needing your guidance and help there,
you followed them to the land of your birth
to continue the work on the other shore of
the Pacific Ocean. And now you have been
kept in active service on your beloved Hawaii nei until you come to the jubilee of your
united lives.
We recall briefly these facts in your lives
both that we may express our heartiest congratulations to you, and that we may thank
God more devoutly for what He has permitted you to be and to do. May other years
of blessing come to you, and through them
all may the joy of the Lord be your strength.

with sturdy faith you look forward, making
sure that in the future the same divine leadership will be revealed.

gave it the aid of your counsels in shaping the

It is my highly favored office on this happy
occasion to tender to you the sympathy and
felicitations of the Missionary Board of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association, in whose
especial service you have labored for many
years and with which you were long connected after its first organization, forty-two
years ago. Your joint memories with mine
extend back to those early days nearly
seventy years ago when our missionary parents were in the fullest activity of their most
fruitful and wonderful work of redeeming, by
the extraordinary Divine aid, the Hawaiian
nation from their deep bondage of evil gods
and heathen immorality. A few years after
your most happy union you were led to devote
following greeting:
"Fifty glad years filled with glad days for
the crown of united lives to Mr. and Mrs.
Gulick. As associates of Mrs. Gulick in the
work of the Woman's Board of Missions we
bring our congratulations on this memorable
occasion.
"As laborers in Christ's harvest field, you
have gathered gold sheaves from Hawaii and
Japan; thus through you the gold of divine
truth has been brouirht into lives which
would otherwise have passed in darkness, and
you have been permitted to cheer and bless
the little ones of God.
"As you draw near to the gates of pearl
and your sun sinks below the heavenly horizon, let the light from the City of God shine
fuller and clearer until the 'twilight' shall
brighten unto perfect days."
It seemed especially fitting that the congratulations of the Hawaiian Christians should
be conveyed by Rev. W. N. Lono, pastor of
Kaumakapili Church, in the Sunday School
of which Mrs. Gulick has long conducted a
flourishing class and who himself was for
many years a missionary in Micronesia. Mr.
your footsteps were approaching that resplendent city of the Sacred Land. We bless
you both who are of the stock of the fathers,
and pray that your love and patience may
continue to abound towards the churches of
our land from Hawaii to Kauai, and that the
blessing of God which is greater than the
riches of the world, may continue to abound
toward His people.
We pray that love and blessings may follow
you all the days of your life, and that the
happiness which human language can not describe may come as the "ift of God to you.
Now beloved Parents, please receive these
inadequate expressions of our regard for
you; and may the remainder of your days
that you may dwell in the Land, be filled with
the light of that shining Home, where in the
Spirit we shall meet that great Teacher, who
is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Mr. Lono had hrdly ceased speaking before
Rev. T. Okumura, the veteran Japanese
evangelist, stepped forward and in Japanese
offered the following congratulations:
A Japanese proverb says that "A human
life of seventy years is rare from ancient
time," and more rare must be fifty years of
married life. So we congratulate Ren. and
Mrs. O. HI Gulick on their golden wedding
with deep gratitude to God, who gave to His
faithful couple such a long life.
Rev. and Mrs. Gulick have spent twentytwo years in Japan as missionaries, and then
have been working for our countrymen in
these Islands until today. For thirty-six
years out of the fifty years, they have been
devoting their lives to and have labored for
the salvation and benefit of the people of the
"Rising Sun Kingdom." So we congratulate
them on their long life together with hearty
tnanks to the Lord who gave us these noble
friends.
Hereby we Japanese evangelists present a
watch to express our congratulations and
gold
thanks.
Close behind Mr. Okumura came Deacon
M. Hayakawa of the Nuuanu Street Japanese Church, who said in his own tongue:
"In our friends, Rev. and Mrs. Gulick, we
are glad to see body and spirit robust as
though still young, although mot z than three
score years and ten have passed over them.
You offered your lives for Japan, laboring
tirelessly to spread the Gospel of Christ and
to your love and kindness we owe in part the
present condition of Christianity among our
people. We behold in you the fulfillment of
Paul's words, 'But one thing I do, forgetting
the things which are behind and stretching
forward to the things which are before, 1
press on towards the goal unto the prize of
the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' We
who have been under your instructions and
who respect you so highly overflow with joy
and happiness on this glad anniversary, recalling our proverb which says, 'The righteous
man lives long.' The continued prayer of
your friends of Nuuanu Church is that God
may continue long to spare your lives aijd
fill your home with His gracious blessing."
At this juncture Justice S. B. Dole of the
United States District Court, pressed into the
inner circle and in fitting phrase bore testimony to the great debt that the Provisional
Government and the Republic of Hawaii, of
both of which he had been President? owdd
to Mr. Gulick for his patriotic services rendered throughout those trying years and particularly recalling the part he bore in giving
advice to the authorities during the historic
episode with Japan.
At the conclusion of Judge Dole's address
Mrs. So, the Japanese Bible woman, presented
a gift from her countrymen, after which the
following very interesting letter was read
from Mrs. S. A. Gulick:
My Dear Cousin Orramel:
Please accept these sleeve buttons as a memento of the past history of several generations.
Mother Gulick gave them to Charles in his
early life, and as I understand the history of
them is: They were your great grandfather's
in the time of the Revolution, handed down to
your grandfather, General Thomas, and worn
by him during his military life in the war of
1812. I have intended passing them over to
you for some time past, but neglected to do so.
Now I thought this, your fiftieth anniversary
of your wedding day, would be most fitting.
With my many loving congratulations to you
and Cousin Annie.
Hoping with the will of our heavenly
Father that we may all met at your diamond
anniversary.
SAREPTA A. GULICK.
May 19th, 1905.
Mr. Jones then introduced a representative
of the Japanese consulate who bore a
memorial from friends in official life. The
more formal exercises were closed by Mr.
Jones, who with the introduction "Money
�THE FRIEND

talks," proceeded to let some $650 in gold
bring their message of good wishes from, a
host of friends in and out of the Islands. Mr
Gulick then arose to voice the gratitude of
Mrs. Gulick and himself for the spontaneous
and wide expressions of friendshin which had
characterized the afternoon. He declared that
the united life of fifty years had been cr.owned
with God's richest blessing to whom all the
glory was due and found his conception ot u
all but expressed in the hymn of the Church!
"Awake, my soul, to joyful days."
Which he read with deep feeling. The assembly then spontaneousl" took up the refrain, singing the first verse as a final response. The afternoon closed with refreshments and the cutting of the golden wedding
cake.
THE GULICK WEDDING—FIFTY YEARS AGO.
The following is taken from the Third Annual Report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society:
"The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society
held its Third Annual Meeting, May 19th,
1855, at the 'Old school House' at Kawaiahao.
"After the opening exercises, O. H. Gulick,
Esq., our second President, was united in
marriage to Miss Ann K. Clark, our third
Vice-President, by Rev. J. D. Strong,
"The Third Annual Reports of the officers
of the Society, together with the President's
address, were then presented to the Society
and an interested audience of our friends, who
were present by special invitation.
"An opportunity being offered, Rev. Messrs
Thurston, Armstrong, Coan and Smith made
appropriate and encouraging remarks.
"This profitable interview of friends was
closed by singing and prayer, and the remaining business of the annual meeting was laid
over to an adjourned meeting, May 26th,
to be held at the house of Mrs. Chamberlain."
The cousins had not then commenced keeping an account of marriages, births and deaths
as they do at present and what has been read
is the only notice of the event.
Miss M. A. Chamberlain who wrote her first
Corresponding Secretary's report in 1857, has
furnished us the following items of that
happy wedding occasion in 1855:
The "Old School House" which still stands
in the shadow of Kawaiahao Church, where
all the general meetings were held, was that
evening of the wedding trimmed beautifully
with maile wreaths and flowers and the bride
in her sweet white muslin dress (without any
veil) was as prett" a bride as graces any
modern wedding. After the meeting was over
the whole audience were invited to Rev. E.
W. Clark's house, the home of the bride, to
the reception, where the wedding cake was
cut and congratulations were heartily extended from all.

MEETING OF THE
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
ANNUAL
The annual meeting of the Honolulu
Anti-Saloon League was held Monday
evening, April 24, in order to have the
stimulus of the presence of Hon. J. G.
Woolley.
Mr. Woolley heartily endorsed the
position taken by the retiring president
that it is high time to let party managers
know that the Christian votes can be
independent and will vote only for clean
men. Mr. Woolley took the position
that he must be faithful to his own trust.
His hands must not be guilty of the
blood of his fellow men. He said he intended to keep a clean conscience in
politics—and could do that only by living up to his standard never to aid in
the establishment of any saloon.
The new officers elected by the League
for the coming year are as follows:
President—Rev. J. W. Wadman.
First Vice-President—W. A. Bowen.
Second Vice-President—Mrs. J. M.
Whitney.
Treasurer—Rev. W. D. Westervelt.
Secretary—Rev. E. B. Turner.
Chairmen of Standing Committees:
Agitation—Theodore Richards.
Law Enforcement—Hon. C. H.
Dickey.
*
Legislation —Key. Doremus Scudder
Legal Protection —Key. O. 11. Gulick.
Finance—
These officers are expected to meet the
second Thursday of each month. They
fill out their committees by the addition
of as many individuals as may seem
best. Then the officers and all the members of committees from the Executive
Committee of the League, which transacts the business and pushes the work
along whatever lines may seem feasible.
Inasmuch as all the members of the
Executive Committee have a large
amount of other work beside that of
opposition to the saloon, it is a cause of
thanksgiving that the cause of temperance has received as large an impetus as
it has in this Territory so far distant
from the contagious atmosphere of the
host of temperance influences predominant on the mainland.
HON.
JOHN G. WOOLLEY IN
HONOLULU.
Mr. Woolley "stopped over" about
weeks between steamers which pass
from Vancouver to Australia. He is to
spend four or five months in giving his
splendid abilities to the temperance campaign in New Zealand. The New Zeatwo
landers are to exercise "local option"
this fall, and the temperance workers are
educating and influencing the great mass
of the population concerning the res|M)iisihility of voters.
The Hawaiian Islands need the stimulus of a "local option" law to compel
agitation and discussion, and it was too
bad to permit the local option bill to he
killed in the lower house after passing
the Senate and coming to third and last
reading in the House. The personal influence of a few more temperance workers could have secured its passage and
given to Hawaii a fight for instruction
in morals like with that into which Mr.
Woolley is now entering in New Zealand. Nevertheless, it does not pay to
cry for spilt milk. Let the Brotherhood
combine for the education of the people
along the line of legislation during the
coming two years and then a campaign
for the abolition of saloons.
Mr. Wool ley received a well deserved
tribute from Dr. Ostrom the first evening of the revival meetings now being
carried on in Honolulu. It was a testimony to the singleness of purpose in
finding the only true position in regard
to the government and saloons and then
never swerving. Mr. Woolley made an
address in Kawaiahao Church to a large
congregation of Hawaiian!. This gathering was a union meeting of all the
Hawaiian churches and was under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League. It
was a strong educational address, exactly the line of thought needed by the
new citizenship which the Hawaiian
voters are now trying to exercise. Two
pay lectures on Christian Citizenship
were given by Mr. Woolley in the Y. M.
C. A. hall. Dr. Kincaid, pastor of Central Union Church, welcomed Mr.
Woolley to his pulpit for an inspiring
Sabbath evening address along the line
of gospel temperance. The annual
meeting of the Anti-Saloon League was
helped by Mr. Woolley's wise suggestions concerning future work. A mass
meeting in the ()pera House yvas arranged by the Anti-Saloon League for
the purpose of giving the citizens of
Honolulu an opportunity to hear this
quiet, logical speaker. Mr. Woolley is
eloquent by reason of the truth which he
utters. He 's forceful because he presents that "ruth with the emphasis, not
of noise, but of conviction. This mass
meeting was attended by many of the
members of the Territorial Legislature.
Another meeting was held in Hilo
while Mr. Woolley was on his way to
visit the volcano. ()n several other occasions of minor importance he gave
talks or short addresses.
In all his utterances the controling

thought was the duty of Christian citizens to place the manhood and womanhood of the nation above all other considerations. This is the practical truth
to which he has committed himself. His
supreme life work now is to help other
citizens act on the same truth.
WAILUKU SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.
On the first evening of April "A Mock
County Fair" was held at the "Alexander
House." So far as possible the amusements and eatables were comparable yvith
those found at the county fair of the old
New England towns. The fair proved
quite an attraction and a good number
were present. The proceeds are already
being used for paint for the "Alexander
House," and will cover about half the
expense of that work.
Some unsold fancy articles yverc displayed in Lahaitta and the residents purchased them most yvillingly. Miss Holden
offered her hospitality fur the afternoon and the profits yvere shared yvith
her kindergarten. The girls of the scyving classes at the Settlement are much
pleased yvith their small returns from
the sale of articles made by them.
The mothers of the kindergarten children have been solicited for small sums
of money to be used for materials. They
complied with such surprising willingness that, by the end of the term, there
yyill be nearly money enough to cover
the cost of materials for next year.
One of the most regular attendants of
the girls' classes—Helen Wallace, who
was drowned at Waihee on the seventh
of April, is much missed both from the
"Alexander House" and the Sunday
School of Ihe native church. It is a comfort to know that her faithfulness, helpfulness, and loving spirit had been commended only a few days before her
death. Will our friends not ask that our
heavenly Father may touch the hearts of
her associates in such a way that their
lives may become worth the living?
F. A. 1~.
MUSIC FESTIVAL.
The interest in music is growing,—
has grown since the last Music
Festi-
val. This second Festival showed this.
The programme so far as chorus work
was concerned may not have been more
ambitious, but the singing was better
and the selections yvcre more interesting. May sth saw a fine chorus
composed of students from Kamehameha, Oalui College, High School,
Normal School and Mills' Institute, all
under the leadership of Mr. Stanley
Livingston of Kamehameha. The orchestral accompaniment, furnished by
Prof- Merger, was a new feature, and
the addition of a noted soloist greatly
increased the interest in the event.
Mrs. Ida Gray Scott has an unusually strong and sweet voice. She
certainly has been trained by noted
teachers, and the press notices she has
from a number of excellent papers in
our large cities, were fully borne out.
A small body of trained instrumentalists united for the purpose of sup
plying an orchestral accompaniment
to
Mrs. Scott in such numbers
as the Cavatina from the Queen
of Sheba, Gounod; or Figlio Del Sol,
I.'African, by Weber. Mrs. Scott sang
also in the open air event, called the
Children's Carnival and Contest of
Song. This took place at the Hoys'
Field as heretofore, and the ridiculously low admission fee of 10 cents made
it possible for a crowd to come in.
(hairs and benches yvere rented on
the grounds. Mrs. Tucker surprised
the comparatively few who heard this
most interesting programme, yvith the
lino chorus yvork of the children. We

"DOTH JOB SERVE GOD FOR
NAUGHT."
sorry for "The By-stander" of the Advertiser who does not seem to be glad,—
who, in fact appears to have been plagiarizing from the distinguished author
referred to in the foregoing.
This "by-standing" is perilous business. A man named Saul once tried it
to his everlasting regret. There were
"coats off" to be sure on that occasion,
but only for throwing of stones, and a
gootl man was hurt to his death. This
Saul took off his coat to more purpose
later.
There is honest effort enough needed.
We wish nothing worse concerning
you, By-stander, than that you might
come out from among the stone throwers, coat keepers, bv-standers,—take
off your coat and lend a hand.
