On the 4th ult. 011 the grounds of Oahu Cotlege, at 5 p. m., was laid, with suitable exercises, the corner stone of the Preparatory School building of the institution. During the sixty years since Punahou school was first established by the American Missionaries for their own children, Upon the lands donated for that purpose by the late Rev. Hiram Bingham, the original founders of the school have all passed away, and their surviving children who attended the school in its early decades are all men and women in advanced years. The third generation also are all now adults and in active life. The present pupils and students belong to the fourth generation from those missionaries. The institution has prospered. The higher department, or properly academy, was several years ago separated from the Preparatory department, which found a home in the center of the city in what had been the Armstrong home, enlarged for its use. The time has come, with the growth of the city and improved means of transit, to reunite the feeder school upon the same grounds with the advanced department.

When the Divine Logos "emptied himself" (Phil. 2:5-8) his assuming "the form of a servant" and "likeness of men" does not necessarily exclude all that is not formally expressed as to the nature of that "emptying" or kcnosis. We pointed out that human Physiology necessarily forbids the exercise of boundless knowledge. The Bishop holds that "To deny ( )niniscience is to deny Divinity. To hold to a belief in the Divine Nature is to hold to a belief in (Irani science." True, we say, if we admit that the < hiiniscicnec remained suspended during Jesus' earthly life. As Man, he could not exercise it. He had only the potentiality of resuming his Divine attributes after laying off the limitations of the earthly body. This may be illustrated by well-known pathological facts. Take the case of a learned and accomplished scientist who receives a blow which so depresses a portion of the skull as to press upon the brain, and cause such a loss of memory that all his stores of knowledge and power of thought seem to be lost. Does he thereby lose his identity as the eminent scientist? Not at all. Let surgical skill remove the pressure upon the brain, and he is again the brilliant man of learning. So the Divine Logos, subjecting himself to the conditions of the human body and brain, became for the time devoid of his infinite attributes. He became weak and ignorant man, save for the copious illumination which he received from the Holy Ghost, by whom he was endowed with that superhuman Knowledge and Power which he constantly displayed during his Messianic labors. This seems to us the just and correct solution of the problem presented by the facts and statements of the New Testament. - Hawaiian Board Work Exhibited. A very effective spectacular exhibit was made of the varied Mission Work of the Hawaiian Board, at the Central Union Church. The time of morning service on October 27th was given up for this purpose. The object of the exhibit was to present in an effective manner to the Christian people especially interested the nature and extent of the work in order that they might be intelligently besought to cooperate therein The opportunity for effective evangelization in these islands is very great, and an extensive work is being done. th< knowledge of which should be brought] to those concerned. The church was occupied hy a huge and interested congregation, Around the walls were hung banners inscribed with the names of the various churches established in these islands among the native people, the dates of their organization, and the names of their early missionary pastors. On each side of the pulpit was a large tablet, one giving the history of the Hawaiian Board, the other a financial statement. Their inscriptions were as follows : In 1864 there was spent for home work $964; in 1901, $38,544. A striking increase.—Too much?

The exercises were opened by the Doxdogy and an introductory prayer followed by an especially prepared Responsive reading, and the singing of "Coronation." The presentation of the work of the Hawaiian Board followed. Rev. O. P. Emerson began with a brief introductory address, and announced the processions representing the various missions, as they advanced singing into the auditorium through the rear doors. The first to enter were representatives of various Hawaiian churches and schools in the islands, carrying appropriate banners. After going through the aisles, they lined up in front of the pulpit. Mr. Emerson spoke as follows: "( her the door of Saint Paul's Cathedral in London there is a tablet bearing the fnllow ing inscription dedicated to the builder of that magnificent edifice. 'If you require a monument, look about Kin.' To the congregation of this Look about you. Look church I say at the work, which the Hawaiian Board has done, with your help.- Before, under the American Board, there were twenty churches: after that when the new policy had been adopted the twenty churches were divided into fifty-nine.

They are supporters of a good government for these islands. Support them, and supl>ort the Board, which stands behind them, for both are closely related." The representations of the North Pacific Mission Institute were then announced. A considerable procession of young men advanced, students and recent-graduates, Hawaiians and a few panese. The head of this Theological Institute, Rev. J. Leadingham, spoke substantially as follows: "How shall they hear without a preacher," was an often quoted saying. The missionary fathers early realized the importance of this, and at an early date began the training and theological education of young men of the same nationality as their congregations. He asked those present to look at the large map which was suspended in front of the organ and there note the great number of black marks, which indicated that at these points native missions were established. He also mentioned how in later years the work had undergone a change owing to the altered circumstances, which the large immigrations of foreign races had caused. It was no longer Hawaiian service alone. It had become necessary Ja- to branch out in order to spread the gospel among these foreign races. Among the young theological students who now stood before the congregation could be seen Hawaiians, Japanese and Porttuguese, as an indication of the change. After dwelling upon the recent ordination of native pastors for important native churches. Mr. Leadingham ended his speech with an appeal to the congregation to look upon the work done as their own. done in connection with the I law aiian Board. After the closing of this speech the representatives of the Chinese schools were announced. Their procession was possibly the most interesting and splendid of them all. The young Chinese pupils, lads in uniform and young girls in the picturesque costume of their native land, marched with song along the aisles, carrying aloft handsome banners lettered with the names of various schools and other institutions in connection with the missonary work among the Chinese. Mr. Frank W. Damon, who is at the head of the Chinese Mission, hereupon made a short speech, mentioning as an interesting fact the new type, the Hawaiian-Chinese, which had sprung forth in these islands. It was a thing to be proud of, that the people here had been enabled to give the gospel to these people, who, born here, were nurtured in the light of Christianity. Chinese had been in the Hawaiian Islands for over seventy years and for twenty years our churches had been instrumental in giving the blessings of the gospel to these people, first through the Y. M. C. A. and later on. in 1882. by the Hawaiian Board. At present there were six evangelists engaged in the work anil six regular mission stations and a great number of regular Chinese church members. These stations were centers of influence throughout the whole group, and what was more this influence stretched across the oceans to the land of these people, when they on returning honu. could enlighten their brethren in their home country. lie then spoke with deep interest of the special foims of mission work, which were being carried on in the city of Honolulu, of the Chinese church, the Sabbath schools, the kindergartens, the Bible women, and all the different agencies en gaged in bringing our Chinese populaHe tion to the knowledge of Christ. ended by referring to the inscription from Confucius emblazoned on one of the banners, "Within the four seas all men are brothers." The procession of the Japanese Mission hereupon entered like the others, singing and carrying banners. After passing around in the church they lined up in front of the platform, and Rev. (). 11. (iulick, who is at the head of the Japanese Mission work in these islands, spoke. He began by reminding the audience of the immense percentage of the population which the Japanese form. Ik" stated that about two-fifths of the people of the islands were Japanese, there being about 60,000 altogether. Among these there were twelve preachers, noble, faithful men, who were devoting their life-work to the spreading of the gospel among their countrymen. The Japanese took kindly to Christianity and at the present day the Board, if it had the money and the men could locate twelve new preachers among them. He praised the assembled congregation for the noble way in which it lived up to the Bible's bidding to be kind to the stranger within their gates. The Japanese were stretching out their arms for the gospel, and that the appeal is heard, the banners which represent different phases of the work among them hear witness. There were the Sunday schools the Bible classes among the Japanese women, live-day schools and tennight schools, the Honoinu boarding school with sixty-two pupils ami many other things, which pointed to the growing success of the work. It might be true that Buddhist temples were being established throughout the islands, but it was to the people of this church that the Japanese were looking with expectation. 159 The work of the Hawaiian Board among the Japanese could be seen outlined on the big map, where dots showed the numerous places where missions had been established among the plantation laborers. The last procession of all was that of the representatives of the Portuguese Mission. Like the rest they marched in, singing, with waving banners and halted in front of the platform. Rev. Mr. Scares spoke in behalf of this mission, thanking God that he had made it possible to have the work carried on through the supporting aid of the congregation of the Central Union church. 'The Portuguese Mission had been in existence for about eleven years, and in comparing the past with the present it was a great pleasure to see how many were now earnestly striving to live nobler The Sunday School and better lives. was full of life and enthusiasm. The dayschool, which began with only six pupils, now had 120 to show that the work had Also on the other been successful. A islands the work was in progress. trip taken by Mr. Snares last year had shown him the enormous progress of the mission in Hilo and on Maui, where the small children congregated to hear the word of the Lord and to praise him in song. The street meetings which had been started a short while ago here in Honolulu also showed a marvelous progress. In the beginning these meetings were continually disturbed by insults, vile language, oaths and all sorts of noises, but now they had entirely changed character: quite a number of people came as eager listeners, ami the meetings were drawing people, who showed the greatest attention. And these people not only listened to '.he truth, hut many of them earnestly strove to live the truth. The workers of the mission were thankful to the people of the Central Union Church who helped them to do their work to the glory of God and the salvation of men. The next address was a short and pointed one hy the Treasurer of the Board, Mr. 'Theodore Richards, to whom was due much of the effectiveness of this Exhibit. He began by saying that great work had been done, much of which could not be seen. 'There was no display about the work of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Many did not suspect before that morning what a great labor was going on on the plantations of these islands. He bade the assemblage to look at the map and to note the great number of marks which denoted that Hawaiian missions were established there. But �160 another look would show that at many of the great plantation districts, as foi instance Hilo and Hamakua, there were few marks of Japanese, mission work, which showed that there was still a great deal left to be done. While the whole organization was s< to speak, an insurance for the people on these islands, vet the burden had here tofore fallen on a few shoulders only, (ireat gifts had been forthcoming heretofore, but the time of large gifts wa> past. Oahu alone had paid over onehalf of the money for the mission work. but this could not continue. The burden must be shifted on other shoulders. Xot big gifts but many generous donors were needed. A short closing address followed by the pastor of the church, the Rev. W. M. Kincaid. He happily illustrated the three things to be observed in giving. I. All give something. 11. All give as the Lord has enabled them. 111. All give cheerfully. He closed with a warning against spasmodic giving, which was as fruitless as spasmodic piety. He then asked the congregation to subscribe on cards in the seats to regular payments to the Board. 'The collection of money and cards was then made, and the assembly dismissed with the benediction. THE FRIEND. •ccepted as the faith of the Christian ..-hurches, one is forced to conclude that those who make such a statement have accepted the creed of L'niversalists. and take the liberty of assuming that their belief is the universal faith. It is not icccssary formally to disprove an assumption so contrary to the actual facts." Sonship Lost by the Prodigal. "New 'Theology" preachers are constantly extolling the Parable of the Prodigal Son, as teaching that the worst sinners still retain Sonship, and that Cod is still their Father. Now, nothing can be nune contrary to the positive teaching of that glorious Parable. It distinctly and unqualifiedly teaches that the Prodigal while such, hail lost his sonship—was dead to his former father. When he repented, and returned in deep contrition, lie recovered his lost sonship. "This my son was dead, and is alive again." 'The use the "New Theology" preacher makes of the parable is a most serious and mischievous perversion of both its letter and spirit. It teaches the debauchee to believe that he is still the loved child of Cod, when he is really outcast, and a son of wrath and misery. Well for him is it, if misery comes upon him in such time and way that he shall God's Fatherhood Misstated.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Episcopal Church in Hawaii, and its greater serviceableness in Christian works we heartily hope that such an arrangement may be carried out without long delay. It seems certain to promote the healing of long standing divisions in that branch of Christ's Hock, and the enlisting of nu ire effective Christian service among them, liishop Willis has for tlvity years been tireless in zeal and devotion to his work; but certain idiosyncracies have been fatal to harmony and growth in the work over which he has presided. It is to be hoped that his successor will equal him in personal piety and devotion, and withal possess powers of wise conciliation, as well as be in sympathy with American sentiment. There is a large American element, which naturally gravitates to the Episcopal Church, and which is likely to he liberal with its means for religious and educational work among the unevangelized races forming the larger part of our population. Spanish Friars in the Philippines. It has been notorious that the friar priests are extremely unpopular with the Filipino population. But in an interview with Archbishop Noxaleda of Manila, at Rome, recently published by the Philadelphia Catholic Standard ami Times, the prelate insisted that the people wanted the friars, and that they must he returned to their parishes. A part of the interview is here copied, as follows: "'But what further question is there to he settled if, as I read in the American papers, there are now so few religious in the islands that they are all within the walls of Manila?' "'lt is true that they are in the convents of Manila, hut thii fact is due not to the hostility of the population, hut to the opposition of the American author- ities. Indeed, the people are continuously calling for their return to the parishes. It is the American Protestant missionaries who by their influence with the authorities secure the absence of the religious.' "My surprise was expressed without words. The Archbishop continued: " "It is very sad. If any of the religious has returned he has been received joyously and festively by the population, but bidden to return to Manila by the order of the military commandant.' " 'So,' J said, 'there is a veritable persecution of the church in the Philippines?' " 'It is indeed all too true," replied the Archbishop. �Vol. 59, No. ii.] " 'But,' 1 said, if the parishes are nearly all abandoned by the religious, and if the religious are almost the totality of the clergy, the ecclesiastical centers are desolate?' " 'There are a few native priests, but of by no means a sufficient number. With these few exceptions the state of religion is as you infer it to be.' "I felt that every answer of the metropolitan had cut deeply into the Philippine tangle, and that only the moral question was left. On this point the Archbishop's statements were equally decisive, though uttered gently according to his wont. "He said: 'Regarding the aspersions cast upon the lives of the religious, these are the result of a campaign of calumny invented and circulated by a group of natives, themselves irreligious. These men have always been haters of the religious corporations. Their information was taken up by the 'Taft commission. It was well known in Manila that at least some of the members of the commission were enemies of the religious. One (Dean Worcester) had actually written a book against the religious. 'The commission stood suspect for bias, for parti [>ris.' it hear the other side?' " 'Did it did not hear the other side.' "Thus the various elements of the question, so far as I am possessed of its bearings, having been one by one set in a clear light by the highest ecclesiastical authority on the condition of religion in the Philippines, it seemed useless to put. further inquiries. In the course, however, of a lengthy conversation, which continued to treat of the various headings here dealt with and which seem to exhaust the substance of the question, the Archbishop told me to insist upon the fact that before as well as after the submission of Aguinaldo the people of tbe islands mivc on various sides been clamoring for the return of the religious to the various parishes, but all to no purpose." The authorities at Rome werj deferring action upon the question, waiting for the arrival of Archbishop Chapelle. the Apostolic Delegate to Manila. It may be remembered that after Dewey's victory. Archbishop Nozaleda issued a manifesto filled with the most infamous denunciations of the intentions of the Americans. It has been thoroughly made clear, that more than anything vise the Filipinos insist upon being set free from the gross oppressions of the friars, who have absolutely ruled them t'..rough their archbishop.

Letter from Mr. Price. Ao.wva. Guam, Aug. 8, 1901. Dear Friends:—I desire to send you a few extracts from my notes about the (iuain people, hoping to quicken your interest in our most interesting field and lead you to join your prayers with ours for their redemption. 'There are about 10,000 people on Cuam —7,000 in Aganya, the capital. They are very different from the Caroline Islands' people, more intelligent and attractive. Their language is more highly inflected, having prefixes and suffixes for the persons of the verbs and singular and plural forms. The vocabulary is richer, having received words from many languages, principally the Spanish. They are a very peaceable people, as a rule, quarreling little among themselves, not given to deeds of violence, and residing, for the most part in families. They like to be in crowds and most farmers live in the towns, going as far as twelve miles, some of them, to cultivate their lands. The men spend the week at their ranches, coming home late Saturday night, spending Sunday with their wives and children and leaving very early on Monday. The women and some of the men go to early Sunday morning mass; the rest of the Sabbath day is given to sports of various kinds, trading and doing odd jobs. Gambling is a great vice among them and on Sundays and feast days the streets of Aganya swarm with crowds of men and hoys, pitching coppers for money. They pitch coppers as our hoys pitch quoits, the winner taking the loser's money at each throw. The silver dollar is often used instead of the copper. Governor Leary prohibited this, hut it is allowed with some restrictions by the present governor. Cock fighting is their national sport, always attended with gambling. Drunkenness is not common now. 'The best Chamoros say that Governor Leary did a great work in stopping the sale of strong drink. Prior to bis coming the merchants all sold aguardiente, a native drink, and little children were often seen staggering on the streets from drinking this liquor. Nothing of that kind is possible now. Smoking is a well-nigh universal practice, even pretty little girls of eight years or less are often seen puffing an immense cigar or an old pipe. Six'ial life is full of uncleanness, and anything like public sentiment against social sins is almost entirely wanting. I have been informed by a reliable party that parents in the very best families would gladly give their daughters in temporary marriage to officers who are married men, for the time of their sojourn here. The desire for white blood is very strong; Chamoro mothers display their white children with pride. it is a shame to speak of the things that are done by them in secret. 'The immoral lives of the priests gave a religious sanction to vice which no teaching could correct. "Do as we teach you, not as we do," they were accustomed to say to the people. The Roman Catholic church had a fine opportunity here and had they improved it and given the people a true spiritual religion —the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, the history of this island would have been different. 'They really gave them popish idolatry, and sought to hold them by nor could it satisfy the best minds. Prior lo 1850 Bibles had found their way hither .probably brought here by sea captains, though nobody seems to know how. and some of the people were reading them. The message so new and so sweet was gladly received, those who rear' a little wanting to read more and those who understood, telling the message to those who did not. For the gOS pel message is made sweeter by sharing it with some one else. So the reading of ihe word Spread until news of it came to the ears of the priests and then priest and ruler joined hands in stopping it. Diligent search for Bibles was made and at last three large baskets full were found, carried into the plaza and publicly burned. Some hid their Bibles and have them still, other Bibles were brought in which were again and burned in 1886. After this only one or two continued to read the Bible, the festivals and garish display.

()ne unmistakable evidence that none of the lavas of Hawaii were originally deposited under the sea, as required by Mr. Baldwin's theory, is that all the lavas along the coasts of the island are vesicular. Lavas deposited under the sea are necessarily without vesicles, because the pressure of the water prevents the expansion of the occluded gases. But another decisive evidence against the theory of gradual elevation, is the total absence of marine erosion from any part of the mountain slopes of Hawaii. Had the waves of the ocean once washed against the high slopes of Mauna Kea, as supposed, they would have left conspicuous marks there of their violent grinding. There are no such marks. The erosion by ocean waves is a most powerful and violent agent. It leaves immense and ineradicable scars in the form of eaten out precipices, and long terraces of sea-beach. In the former coves arc also vast and massive coral reefs. Hawaii is totally devoid of all such evidences of marine action, such as are found abundantly on Oahu at heights of from 40 to 50 feet above present sea level, and no higher. I think that the shallow parts of the sea in the inter-island channels were probably extensions of the present islands which have become submerged. West Maui was probably once united bydry land to Lanai and Molokai. That former land has subsided together with the islands. 'The subject is a fascinating but interminable one, ami may well res! here for the present. Leprosy Not Due to Mosquitoes. The Electric Road. There is not the slightest evidence that any species of mosquito existing in the Hawaiian Islands is capable of propagating any infectious disease. 'The Culex Anopheles which transmits ma larial fever, is not found here. Nor is the other species which is proved to communicate yellow fever. Leprosy is but slightly contagious, although a terrible and incurable disease. It is well established that its chief means of infection is by the secretions of the mouth, transmitted by kissing, by smoking pipes together, and by eating with the fingers from the same dish, to which practices the Hawaiians are greatly addicted, an<l therefore have been terrible sufferers from leprosy. Other races very rarely contract the disease, Some editorial experiences on the new road of the Rapid Transit Co. prove its travel both smooth and swift. We ran over nine miles in less than an hour, which is twice the speed of the mule tramcars. The trolley cars seem to be well patronized. The cars are large and elegant.

In accordance with the Proclamation of the President, the 28th was observed here as a day of Thanksgiving. All of our nation has enjoyed distinguished prosperity, but no section has had more peculiar cause for gratitude to God than Hawaii. In an exceptional degree and sense is it manifest how the manifold blessings of our lot have come from the special favor of Divine Providence. It was most distinctly that Providence which $2 years ago specially selected Hawaii as the destination of the messengers of Christ, and then caused them to be received here with such peculiar favor. This was manifestly done for the end accomplished, that the Gospel successfully cultivated here, should transform existing barbarism into a highly developed Christian civilization, making Hawaii a (Paradise for homes, and a radiant center of beneficent power, all whose delightful fruits we have been abundantly enjoying. The past year has been one of great and continued prosperity in material things. It has equally abounded in social and spiritual good. May we be keenly sensible of the Source of our manifold blessings. May our gratitude 11. 1., DECEMBER, 1901. 167 The Friend. [No. 12. enlist yet more eagerly our beneficent not fall far below 500.

For many years in Zaragoza there has been no special public persecution of the (.ospel work in that city, so the surprise was all the greater when the day before the Convention was to open the whole Roman Catholic press of the city opened its batteries on us. It seems that copier of the programme of the two days' exercises through the hands of the printers had reached these papers who made it the basis of their attack. Their exclamations of wrath and dismay that tin city of Zaragoza, blessed by the presence of the "Virgin of the Pillar." who is the Special devotion of the inhabitants of Zaragoza. should be desecrated by such an assembly, were extraordinary. Delegations of the two Cathedrals and of the Roman Catholic press called on the (iovernor assuring him that if the Protestants were permitted to hold the Convention it would occasion a conflict in the city. The (iovernor was so harrassed by these importunities that the evening before the Convention was to open he called the pastor of the church in Zaragoza to his house and explained to him the situation. Knowing however that we were entirely within our rights he, practically, said to the pastor: "I will send to you an order, which will also he in the public press ordering yon to do nothing in contravention of the laws on the pain of the instant closing of your meetings. This will satisfy the clamor of these newspapers, But, between ourselves, we know your rights under the Constitution and you just go forwartl with your meetings as you have always done hitherto and nothing will happen." This indeed was the result. The programme was followed with admirable precision, the pastor of Bilbao, 1). Jose Marques, taking in it a conspicuous part. At the close of the two days' meetings he delivered a stirring address in the chapel that was filled to overflowing. Without exaggeration I think it might be said that this sermon was in many respects the most eloquent and powerful that has been preached in Spain since the dawn of the Second Revelation in which we are now living, either in a Catholic or Protestant Church. His subject was simply. "Ksfuerzo Christiano." He said: "When I asked myself "Where of biblical heroes which he marshalled before us with telling effect. An Aragonese himself he appealed to his countrymen in this chief city of Aragoti, to cast off the bondage of fanaticism and superstition under which they lived, and to take upon themselves the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light; ami for their encouragement he cited with thrilling effect passages of their own most stirring history. It was a sermon that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. Returning to Bilbao the pastor found the greater part of the political press in his own city echoing, with atldetl bitterness of its own, the cries and the attacks of the Catholic press of Zaragoza which, repeated by the Madrid papers, were now resounding throughout the country, so that in Bilbao it was indeed the principal topic of conversation for the moment. The immediate effect of this agitation accompanied as it was by the Roman Catholic writers by especial attacks on Sr. Marques, was to till the chapel with people whose curiosity brought them to listen to the preaching of this dangerous and anti-patriotic Spaniard, as he was declared to lie. The result was in Bilbao, as in Zaragoza, that God made most conspicuously "the wrath of man to praise Him." After this incident of the Christian Endeavor agitation, in the month of September there occurred what was called: "The Coronation of the Virgin of Begona," or otherwise "The Mother of God in Begona." It was an extraordinary affair worked up by the priesthood to produce the greatest spectacular effect possible and at the expenditure of an enormous amount of money. For several days the streets were full of people that poured in from the surrounding villages. many coming from distant cities. ( lbserving people declared that rather than a religious festival it was an imposing political rally of the ultramontane forces of that part of Spain. The culminating ceremony was the placing of a crown Upotl the head of the Virgin and another on the head of the Child in whose hands also was placed a jewelled scepter, which objects it is said cost no less than one thousand two bundled pounds sterling. The day after the coronation was devoted to processions through the street in the most important of which they carried the so-called miracle winking image of the Virgin. This great procession in which were high dignitaries of the Church and a multitude of fanatical women of the place, called beatas, passed shall 1 go in search of examples of Chris- in front of our chapel undoubtedly for tian Endeavor 5 the reply of my soul was the purpose of creating a scandal to the 'Go to the Hook; go to the Hook." And injury of the Protestant Church. When the basis of his discourse was an array near our chapel they came to a halt and ' called out: "Long live the Virgin, the Mother of God of Begona," and again, immediately in front of the chapel, they halted and repeated the cry. As the pastor says it is apt to be in the case of these clerical street-theatricals, a comical note appeared that destroyed the malicious intent of the promoters of the scheme. When this mass of people was exactly in front of our chapel an enormous rat dashed out. no body could tell from where, and rushing through the crowd at a given signal they amid the cries and screams and the general flight of the women, who must have thought it was a protestant devil in the form of a rat. very nearly broke up the procession and certainly robbed it of whatever solemnity it might have had at that time. Indeed the whole event of the coronation of this Virgin was accompanied with so many untoward incidents that public attention was much attracted by the fact. A leading paper of Madrid commented upon it in a way that must have deeply impressed every thoughtful reader. There is room here merely to mention the following incidents referred to by that writer, The first was a false alarm of tire in the church, creating a rush to the doors in which a young woman was trodden to death. The second was the falling of an electric light in the street near a dense group of people occasioning such a fright that persons were overthrown and bones were broken. The third was when the artillery was firing a salute in honor of the Virgin on the day of her coronation when two of the artillery men had their arms blown away and their faces so terribly injured that they cried to be killed on the spot. The writer of the article calls these "The Three Miracles of the Virgin"; in this the most notable week of her existence. In view of this he boldly asserts that the immense majority of Roman Catholics who assist at these ceremonies and processions, know that the piece of wood which is roughly carved into the form of a human figure, which they profanely proclaim is endowed with miraculous powers, has no such virtue whatever, and that to the immense majority the whole thing is a blasphemous farce. All these events led to the awakening Of interest in the Protestant pastor and his work, and especially so as he was continually attacked by the preaching friars, so that there was a larger attendance on the chapel services than therehad been before for a long time. After the summer vacation the schools opened with some seventy children in attendance, and in the month of October 1 decided to establish a kindergarten for the youngest children of the school. I �Vol 59, No. 12. | imported from the United States the material needed and had the low tables tot the little children made in Bilbao at an expense of about £3; the supplies from the United States cost £4 arid the freight charges and duties some £ 2 more, making a total cash outlay of some £9. The teacher of these thirty little children is one of the bright girls graduated from the International Institute, in lliarritz, in June of last year. This advance in our educational work has very much pleased the parents of the children and has attracted considerable attention in the community, as I think it is the only kindergarten in the city. I WM present at the special exercises of the children of the schools on Christmas day and evening. It was a beautiful sight to see. The pulpit furniture was removed and the platform increased in size and the whole chapel was prettily adorned with greens brought in by the children from the fields, and potted plants were loaned by friends, members of the congregation. A large number of the children took part in the exercises of declamation, dialogue and song, before the audience that crowded the chapel to the doors, and that greatly pleased both young and old. ( )f course in such an assembly as fills the chapel on these anniversary occasions by far the larger part are Roman Catholics, and we consider it one of the best means by which to attract them within reach of the Gospel, which at such times is proclaimed to them by the lips of their own children. Not a few who have been brought to the knowledge of the truth in our different missions have received their first impression in one or another of our children's festivals. The pastor has told me of a pleasant occurrence on the night of the outgoing year and century and the incoming of the new. The city and military authorities sent out that night several bands of music to entertain the people at the midnight hour. It was the band of the most noted regiment in Bilbao that was assigned to our quarter of the city. As midnight approached the pastor with a number of friends was singing out the old year in his house with hymns appropriate to the occasion when the military band also began to play. Immediately the family in the Protestant house ceased its singing and going to the balcony listened to the music of the soldiers and joined in the applause that followed the first piece. Then they resumed their own singing which was followed by applause from the street. Then the bantl played again and so on through a number of pieces, the music and applause from one side and the other amicably and enthusiastically alternating. The 169 THE FRIEND. members of the military band themselves. one of whom had at one time been a scholar at Sr. Marques' school, applauded the Protestant singers, together with many who surrounded them in the street. The evangelical work jn the mines, which has always been an important and interesting part of the pastor's mission. has lately been somewhat limited by the lack of suitable rooms in which to hold the meetings as well as by the superintendence of the school in Bilbao in which he is effectively the daily teacher of the boys. Hut notwithstanding this, almost every week he is able to make short visits to one or another place in that district, so maintaining his friendly relations and. continually extending the circle of the Gospel influence in that interesting field The number of communicants at the end of the year was seventy, and at tin last celebration of the Lord's Supper at the end of March, five new member: were admitted on profession of faith. The Tuesday evening Bible class is an active society of Christian Endeavor, in which all take part, and has contributed not only to the maintenance of Christian life in the Church, but also to the intellectual development and persona1 manliness of the boys and young men who have become deeply interested in these exercises. the persecution Notwithstanding which never ceases on the part of the neighboring conventual establishments, for the purpose of breaking up our schools, they have sustained through the year an average attendance of about one hundred children. The Sunday School embraces nearly all the children of the day school and is an important element in the church life. The Church anil congregation as well as myself thank the Lord for his blessings during the year; and we also thank the good friends in Great Britain who have not forgotten us in their prayers and who have remembered us with their material gifts from time to time.

I presume that this cheek will be presented to you in due time. The check amounts to Si 73 or 717 marks and 82 pfennigs in (iernian money. We are so glad to have this long waited for roof iron and today we tore down the thatch on one side of the house and replaced it with good roof iron. We also made gutters from lumber and are nowready to receive good rain water when the windows of heaven are opened again. Tomorrow we shall begin with the platform in our new church and when finished with this we shall 1). Y. put up ihe west veranda. Praise God for His goodness to us. As you will notice lumber is somewhat high here, but the roof iron (Bx2 ft.) is very reasonable. We bought this material much cheaper than the local traders. However, till we would add freight from S. F. to here, our gain would be very limited not speaking of the uncertainty of receiving it. Well praise the Lord, the little Mission home on Nauru is finished, i.e., will be finished in a few weeks. There will be no further expense for the mission premises except perhaps for painting now and then, which we must not neglect in this climate. White ants are quite bad here. We are glad that it is over, we have spent much prayer and thought over this matter. We trust that our many friends will help to meet this heavy debt. This money with the $115 which you (we trust) have sent to P. I. Co., Sidney, will make a grand total of about $288, which must be the final outlay for his part of bur work. May God richly bless all who have thus far been so much interested in our work; may they continue to remember us. God willing we shall be able to baptize a little company of believers Sabbath, July 21. 1901. A grand day for our little island, when the first ones shall enter the visible Church of Christ. May God keep them and us faithful. Pray for us. On Sabbath evening, July 10, we hope to dedicate our beautiful little church building to Jehovah. We have bought some lumber (out of contribution money 1 for a nice altar or platform, while the people themselves bought two large and several small lamps, which will help to brighten up our Sabbath evening services. Midweek prayer meeting we hold in the schoolhouse. The people have furthermore ordered a large church bell which we trust to receive about the end of the year. The people are very proud of their church, especially since they have heard from visitors that there are few native churches like theirs. May many find the I>ord Jesus Christ in this House of Prayer on Nauru. Thursday, July 1411. we expect to have �170 our first annual closing exercises and picnic of our day school. The children are very happy about it and can scarcely await the day. There will be singing of hytnns, essays, a few hours of games to be followed perhaps with a modest feast of rice and pork and young cocoanuts. I enclose two examples of writing by children who had no idea of writing 01 school when we Opened our school in March, 1900. 'Today they can write and read fluently.

In the States the practical qualities of the League ami its work have won for it the co-operation of the temperance people of all political parties and all religious faiths. All evangelical denominations are heartily advocating it; Archbishop Ireland is vice president of the national organization, while Bishop W'aterson and other Catholics are active workers, and Hebrew rabbis, with others, are federating against the evil which destroys the home, the church and the state. And here, in this group of lovely islands, all friends of the cross, the Hag, or humanity, are invited to put in their oars and pull together for the relief and progress of all classes and for all good interests here represented.

'There seems to be a pernicious tendency in the authorities just now to multiply both liquor and beer saloons throughout the city, which needs to be ictively resisted by all good citizens.

At the close of the services, subscriptions for the support of the League were taken up. Apparently the congregation made a liberal response to the call. Protest Against Star Saloon. Unfavorable sentiment has been aroused against the continuation ol the "Star Saloon," located near the teiniinu' of the tram line at Palania, which is practically at the entrance to the grounds of the Kainehaineha schools. This has been accomplished through the medium of a petition which has been widely circulated in the city, protesting against its establishment there. 'The students of the schools were among the first to raise their voices in protest, and through them the Anti-Saloon League has taken up the matter. The petition reads as follows : 'To the Honorable 'Treasurer of the Territory of I lawaii: We, the teachers, students, patrons and friends of the Kamehainelia schools, instituted ami endowed hv the beneficence of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop for the education and elevation of the Hawaiian people, do most earnestly petitio.l and pray thai you will give these schools your potential protection by rei'usi g any license for the sale or distribution of beer, wine, spirits, or oilier alcoholic beverage, within the limit of at least onehalf mile, the usual limit is much longe of the said school grounds.

Mr. Tstiji of Paia is rejoicing in having with him his wife and two children. We were pleased one Sunday afternoon to meet with him and his llainakuapokn congregation at the Japanese church of tha place. The house was full and a number stood at the entrance. Mr. Lindsay expects soon to take down the old empty church-building near by and put it up in the Portuguese quarter of Paia where Mr. Silva is living. Once in possession of a church-building Mr. Silva can do more effective work. 'The one bright spot in all W'ailuku is the compound where the Social Settlement and its allied buildings stand. It is nice to find there Christian people of your OWIi sort ; they seem so happy at their work and it is so much appreciated. Mr. Ten Ah Lin is certainly a glad man, his face shows it. The boys in Social I [all do not look as if something unpleasant were to be sprung on them, and what they get is wholesome. Following the example of the other associations, that of Maui and Molokai voted to set apart half a day at each semi-annual meeting for general theological instruction. 'The course for the next meeting is as follows: 'The Nature of God, Rev. (). Nawahine; Church History. Rev. J. kalino; Proofs of the Bible. Rev. E. M. Jesus' Work of Salvation, Rev. S. Kapu; Foreign Missions, Rev. 1). kaai: Chinch Government, Rev. E. S. Tinioteo; Criticism of Sermon Plans on Genesis 1:27, 2nd Ilanuna: clause. Rev. < >. P. Emerson. A strong resolution was passed by the Maui Association against the further licensing of any saloons. It was voted that a petition to this effect be sent the and his council praying not only that no more new licenses be granted, but also that on the expiration of their term, no old licenses be renewed on the islands of Maui and Molokai. Reverends Pali and Nawahine have been retired from active work, not only by their own action and the action of their respective churches, but also by the approval of the Maui and Molokai Associations. These men have done a good work. 'They have proved themselves in many a difficult situation to be pure and true and bravely loyal to their faith. On occasions (iovernor 173 THE FRIEND. they have shown not a little heroism. I During the political crisis of Mr. '93 Pali's convictions led him beyond the sympathies of most of his congregation and they left the old church. Now that the issues of those days are practically dead, the) are —some of them—coming back to their former church home and making up with their one-time pastor. Rev. I£. S. Timoteo, our special evangelist to the native churches is now doing a good work in W'ainee church Lahaina. Meetings began on Sunday the 17th of October and have been held every evening of the week since with the exception of Saturday evening. The meetings are being continued this week with good results. It is expected that those who have been holding separate meetings at Hale Aloha will soon come over in a hotly and attend services at the old church. Should this be done and a new and able pastor be secured for W'ainee church, something might again be accomplished by this once powerful organization in reaching the at present unchurched youth of Lahaina who spend their leisure hours, of which they appear to have liioiiy. about the saloons and in the billiard rooms of the town. ( >nc of the incidents of the meeting of the association at Wailuku was the examination and approval of P. F. Palea of Haiku for licensure. Palea was once a follower of kekipi. by whom he was ordained and placed in charge of a body of schismatics at Paauwela, Haiku. It was found that one reason Palea bad for leaving the Kekipi people was the fact that he could not bring his ethical convictions down to the level of their leader and he could not bring himself to call white black and black white. Palea had succeeded in stopping for a time the drunkenness that was prevalent in his kaauwela parish, but after a respite Mrs. X who was a leading spirit and a close connection of Air. kekipi, got tired of the quiet times they were having and inaugurated a kind of afternoon and evening "tea" where intoxicating drinks took the place of tea. Palea's complaints to his chief were unavailing. 'The ladvrelative was sustained in her innovations, and thereupon Palea retired from his pastorate and from the fellowship to return to what he now believes to be a body more ethically sound and scripturally consistent in its doctrines and in its life. Palea goes to Waihee to do church work. Chinese Mission, that there seems to be a fitness in asking room in its columns for a few words with reference to the dedication of another church building for the use of the Chinese. 'This occurred on November 3rd and was a most interesting ami impressive occasion. Sonic months since the directors of the Wailuku plantation most generously gave- to the Hawaiian Hoard one acre and a half of land in the town of Wailuku for religious and educational uses. 'This is on the extension of Market street, passing through one of the cane fields of the plantation, with a line view toward old Haleakala. A marvelous transformation has been wrought here within a year's time. The visitor to Wailuku is amazed to see the long stretch of beautiful lawns and gardens. surrounding tasteful and commodious buildings, devoted to varied and noble uses which testify to the energy, refined taste and devoted spirit of those who are seeking here to present the true spirit of Christianity to old and voting of all nationalities. On the corner of Main street stands "Alexander House" wor- thily perpetuating one of the noblest names in the missionary history of these islands. Its spacious and beautiful rooms are devoted to main uses. Here we find one of the finest kindergartens in the group with from sixty to seventy happy little ones in attendance, guided lovingly and wisely by Mrs. kuowlton and her assistants. 'Then there are the reading room and game room, with everything to attract and please, where Miss Huntingdon, with her classes in weaving and sewing for girls, clay modelling for the boys, bright social evenings of innocent recreation, and in numberless other ways is radiating a loving and beneficent influence, which is being widely felt. Next in order on this new and truly wonderful street comes the Chinese Church, of which mention will be made dater. Then still further on rises the comfortable and airy two-story building where the workers in all this busy hive have a restful and beautiful home. Miss Malone has shown splendid energy and enthusiasm in planning much of what has been lure realized, and in the raising of money, and in the wise use of the same. Most truly is she to he congratulated on the great success which has attended her efforts. The new Chinese Church building occupies a commanding position in the center of a finely graded lot.

In the rear is a large and most "inviting school room where Miss 'Turner aonduets her Mission School for Chinese boys and girls. Desks of the most approved modern style have been procured for the school from California. It is a model school-room, and a tilting setting for the good work which is being lure done. The Dedication Services were bell in the presence of a large and interested audience, composed of a number of different nationalities. 'The church was beautifully decorated foi the occasion with flowers grown mi the premises.

'The historical statement, given by the superintendent, reviewed the work nf the past years among the Chinese on Maui, carried on by the Hawaiian Board, am' most generously aided by the Paia Church and the ladies of the Missionary Society of that church. Reference was made to the many different friends who have done so much to advance the cause nf Christ among the Chinese, by personal effort or by pecuniary aid One of the most pleasing features of the day was the presence with Us of Mrs. F.

It was, too. a time of deep and Sincere rejoicing for our true and tried evangelist, Mr. Tcng Ah Lin, who has preached the good news as it is in Jesus, to his countrymen, for so many years, through the length and breadth of Maui.

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

In the felicitous phrasing of the Japanese youth, they may help in "dispersing gloom of our always industry." They are also suggestive as to difficulties and progress in teaching English to pupils of four different nationalities, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and Hawaiian, to which has lately been added the Porto-Rican Spanish.
