My first Sunday was spent in Wailukit
where the Board recently voted to open
a new station. Upon imitation, I preached in the 1 Hawaiian church in the morning, and in the Japanese Church in the
evening, both times through interpreters,
and gave three' short addresses at other
services. < >u Monday I preached at the
Japanese Church at Puunene. The warm
reception by the Board's workers em
Maui, the cordiality of the Englishspeaking people at Wailuku. and their
hearty invitation to reopen union services
at the "foreign church." made my first
trip to Maui full of delightful experiences.

preached was about thirty, and it is expected as soon as the service is regularly
instituted that the numbers will increase.
'
�THE FRIEND
It is hoped that a rehearsal can be held
for the practice of English hymns.
The last few days have been spent in
getting better acquainted with the work
at the Wailuku side of Maui. An invitation has recently come to preach at the
Chinese Church at Wailuku em the first
Sunday morning of each month. A visit
to Wailiev with Capt. Lyman of the Salvation Army gave an opportunity to
speak twice there. A tour with him
around West Maui once in three' months
is being
planned, when house
to house
visitation will be' carried on and religious
literature distributed. That kind of work
is much needed just at present on Maui
and the pastors must be aroused to a
realizatieiin of their duty in this elirectiou.
The .Maui Association has been in session at Wailuku from Sept. 15th to Sept.
20th, at which our Churches were representee! by 12 ordained pastors ami 4 licentiates ami delegates from the Sunday
Schools anel societies of Christian Endeavor. It was the best attended Association that has been known for a long
time. The Churches were better represented than usual, and there lias been a
larger attendance from the Endeavor Societies. The Sunday School Exhibit of
Sunday, though being lengthy, was ex-
cellent, and about 450 people were present, several being visitors from the
townspeople of Wailuku. A good proportion of the exhibit was in English.
The singing, as usual, was admirable,
anil showed much patient rehearsal.

THE CHILDREN'S TREAD-MILL
When you put a horse on an endless
of rollers he' serves a purpose,—he
requently saws wood. It is most boring
to the horse. A high spirited animal
frets itself to death in the tread-mill
set
and
a
new horse makes
considerable
fuss before his spirit is broken.
Did it ever occur to you that the
children's school work is frequently of
die "tread-mill" order without serving
so much of a purpose? The public
school system is arraigned frequently,
—rightly enough, that it totally fails in
moral training. Rut what does it do?
If we could only be sure that it "sawed
wood" instead of getting "on the
nerve's" of the hope of the nation.

even yet the' notion in many minds that

people. How much harder will it be
to get rid of the deep set conviction that

doubt it. There is very little of thebread and butter utility in it; for after

proven sufficiently often to be clear tei
the investigator.
The space in this article permits no

The effort to figure, reael and write

leave our little public-school wards

After all to increase and make use

HAWAII'S PORT ARTHUR
livery campaign has its chief objective, its enemy's
strongholel, the capture of which determines the ultimate
victory. This is as true in the warfare of the Kingdom
of (iexl as in a military conquest. Until Japan had taken
Port Arthur the outcome of the war in the bar East,
ii|>e>n which the future development of human history
must hinge, was uncertain. When that fortress fell the
world knew that a new chapter in its life hail been
opened.
Pointing of the Past.
In the early clays the great Christian movement in
these Islanels built up and held Lahainaluna, a splendid
training school of noble leaders, the memory of whom
will long remain a tradition throughout Hawaii. But in
a moiiH-nt when faith gave place to sight, when spiritual
vision was for the moment lost in anxiety for practical
eletails, Lahainaluna was given to the Government for no
other reason than money stringency. Alas for America
if Harvard, Vale and their sister colleges had known such
a fate! It seems harel to understand how graduates of
these institutions could have made this fatal mistake.
< >thcr causes help to explain the remarkable decadence
of the Churches eluring the last 40 years, but the surreneler of Lahainaluna must ever stauel as symptomatic
of them all. No Church of large and permeating power
can he maintained today without at least one commanding educational institution.
Second Missionary Advance.
Any careful student of what is taking place in the religious life of these Islanels must realize that a very widespread spiritual movement is on foot. Take our Roarel
aleme with its magnificent array of workers, drawn from
five nationalities, anel its steadily enlarging endeavor.
Witness how the Churches of the Nation are backing us
up with men and means. Mark also the wealth of agencies, churches, schools, settlements, clubs, all centering
their efforts on tlve spiritual appeal. It is clear that the'
campaign is on, that the skirmish for position is quietly
being Dashed anel that in short oreler the battle
will burst forth in fury all along the line. It is an inspiring prospect. Meantime councils of war have clearly
determined the citadel which marks the chief point of
attack. Our Port Arthur is no matter of dispute. It is
none other than

torv, and that too under distinctively Christian auspices.
Such a school in order to turn out the kiinl of men ami
women required as leaden must be in closest touch with
the very heart of Hawaii nei—it should be near Honolulu. Yet it should also be separated sufficiently to constitute a little world of its own.
The Seed I 'nlilled.
Hawaii already has its Antlovcr Academy ill that institution of which we all are proud, Oahu College, a
noble preparatory schoeil for white boys and girls, whose
tendency is of necessity strongly towards Caucasian exelusiveness. Its expensiveness also limits its constituency, notwithstanding its numerous generous scholarships. Kamehameha, fairest flower of this fair land, is
on the other "hand restricted to youth of Hawaiian blood
and has already carried keenest disappointment to many
a young heart by its announcement of room for no more.
Meantime thousands of Hawaiians, Asiatics, children of
mixed parentage anil others of all races look longingly
for the education denied them.
Buddhism vs. Christianity.
The priests of this foreign cult are not idle. They are'
are actually elebating the erection in Honolulu of a great institution to
crown their system. Buddhism in Hawaii is an alien
religion teaching an alien patriotism. What a menacethis is both to our nation anil tei our faith can be easily
imagined. Are we. followers of Jesus, to be behind hand?
The answer of the Christians of the Territory is overwhelmingly in the negative. Rallying about a splendid
nucleus eif Christian schools in the capital city the elecision has been made to consolidate them into the
covering the Territory with schools and
Mid-Pacific Institute.
A strange series of provielences has reserved on the
very outskirts of the city of Honolulu a plateau gently
sloping from a height of cyoo feet down to 300 feet above
the sea, 300 acres in extent, with soil of rare richness and
an imperial outlook westwarel commanding the broad Pa-
cific from Koko Head to far off Waianac Mountains.
This upland, retired yet just at hand, connected to the
city by a fine electric transit system anel but a half hour
distant from the center of town, has been placed at the
disposal of the Hoard of Managers. Here all the varied
industries of fruit production, market gardening, forest
culture anel elairy farming such as are demanded by the
necessities of this Territory, together with training in the
traeles can go hand in hand with academic instruction.

Uncreated, spontaneous, which came because God willed.
Thirteen years ago, back in [893, six Chinese youths tired
with the passion for knowledge', knocked at the eloor of
the Damon home in Honolulu and asked to be taken in
and taught. A room was found, instruction began, the
six multiplied slowly until they have become more than
four hundred who have found Mills a ble'sseel home of

.Vote the remarkable coincidence in the founding of
each of these three Schools. No one of them was planned,
each was the outgrowth of a eleinand made by aspiring
boys and girls who were moved by Cod's Spirit. There
is no alternative today for them but to move onward or
to die. The limit has been reached. No effort has been
made to attract larger attendance. Puddings demand repairs, yet repair is but patching old garments with cloth
cut from new bolts. God has deliberately thrown at us

Mark here the significance of three of the racial names

No ore can doubt that the intercourse between OUT nation and these three peoples of Eastern Asia must grow
closer with every succeeding year. Hawaii is to play a

of these three Eastern countries the message of the Carpenter of Nazareth anil to do SO by men native to each.
Already this work has begun. To accomplish this destiny

That there is neeel for something of this

with the- undoubted improvement in the
majority of pupils, all indicate a genuine
need and demand for such a school.
Rut it cannot fulfil its manifest elestinj in its present location. It is already a new school, bearing little if any
resemblance to that which bore the name
three- yean ago. All that is needed is a
new setting to more fully reveal its
change of character, to give- the life that
is in it a chance, for it lives, it is growing, and must have room to stretch in,
or die-.
A more unsuitable location than that
now occupied would be hard to find. A

boys are- part of a gang that infests the
premises at all hours, climbing our
trees and fences, anil annoying the girls
so that many of them prefer to remain
indoors or on the- piazzas, rather than be
insulted while at play. A call for police

a week is not unusual. The girls are

BOYS' CLUBS NOTES.
The Boys' Clubs began operations the
week following the opening of the Government schools. We are glad to report
that all the old Club managers are back
at their posts. This argues well for the
maintenance of the life of our Clubs.
()ur greatest need today is for live young
men, who will interest themselves in the
welfare of the boys of the street.
Boys are like other animals, they seek
the greenest pastures. If our Clubs can
offer the boys something to make it
worth their while, there will be no difficulty in coralling from the streets more
than enough boys to fill our reioms. Just
now indoor baseball anel basket ball is the
bait most tempting to both Juniors and
Seniors. A series of indoor baseball
games is about to be arranged. The
games will be played in turn at the differ"
ent Club rooms and will be the means of
creating a great ileal of healthy excite-
learning a fine lesson in honor among
sportsmen.
A scries of stereopticon gospel talks is
being planned for Saturday nights. Mr.
P. M. Snoelgrass is chairman of the Devotional Committee. 'This is a phase of

Chang Tso Fan the Chinese Consul in
Honolulu, has estimated that the total
immigration of separate individuals, excluding travelers and counting hut once
those who have entered Hawaii two or

rather low. They woulel prefer to regard it as nearer 40,01x1.
