Christ's Advent.
11l Christian lands, people of all classes
have been, at least nominally, paying respect to that supreme event of near two
thousand years ago, the coming into human life of the Divine Son of God. The
season of the Advent has been made one
of rejoicing and festivity.
But "He came unto his own, and his
own received him not." We have celebrated his coming, but how many of us
have received the Lord Jesus into our
hearts? This dear Son of God comes
knocking at our heart's doors, and claims
to be admitted there as an abiding and
cherished guest. It is there that his true
advent must be made, if real and effectual. The Son of God put on mortal
flesh for this purpose, that he might be
seen and known of men, and his pure,
heavenly loveliness be so revealed to us,
that we should love him, and receive him
into our inmost souls, there forever to
abide.
But this access the sin-clinging souls
of men do not readily grant to him. We
have long gone wrong. Many evil things
have found lodgment and entrenched
themselves within us, and the Lord Jesus
cannot enter and dwell in us while these
his enemies occupy his place. And so
his true Advent is thwarted and nullified.

One day we were invited to a feast
Majejo, given in honor of Nanakin,
a chief. The new feast house at this village is a building about thirty feet long
and twenty feet wide; it is entirely open
at one end. On three sides is built a
sort of platform, three feet high and four
feet wide, where the guests specially
honored lounge. As we came in sight of
this building the crowd of natives lying
about under the trees rose as a token of
respect. Edgar, a man who speaks some
English and dresses like a white man,
came forward and escorted us to the seat
on the platform kept for us near Nanakin and his wife. There were two chairs
for us while the natives sat on the floor.
In the center of the building were six
large piles of stones with hot fires burning inside. Soon after we arrived a
number of men with no clothing except
their kauls, came in with long poles and
began punching the red-hot rocks apart.
The heat was intense. Fortunately we
were situated where the sea breeze
fanned us and blew the heat the other
way. As soon as the piles of rocks were
knocked down, great baskets of bread
fruit, yam and "mar" were hurriedly
passed to the men at the fires, and they
emptied them on to the hot rocks, and
with poles and tongs covered the food
with some of the rocks and on top of it
all piled green leaves and grass to hold
in the heat. Ten roasted pigs were carried in from a place outside where they
had been cooked, and these were placed
over a pit in front of Xanakin. Great
quantities of uncooked yam were placed
under the trees just outside the door
where Xanakin sat. This food and the
pigs were then divided among the people. Only those of high rank received
any pork.
They count th missionaries
with their chiefs, and the largest and best
young pig was given to us to carry home,
also a fine yam which was so large it
required two men to carry it.
When the food in the "urn" was done,
the rocks were taken off and the articles placed in baskets, all the people receiving an abundance. They knew our
way of eating differed from theirs and I
think the more civilized were ashamed
to have us watch them, so we were invited over to Edgar's house. He had
taken our boys over previously to help
arrange dinner for us. The house has
two small rooms built of lumber. Edgar
is quite progressive and has a few chairs,
an ancient bureau, and a small table, that
is quite aristocratic. The table had a
cloth on it, and a bouquet placed in the
center. The dinner consisted of yam,
hardman, pigeons in gravy, lorn beef,
hot cakes made of scraped yam fried in
lard, and candy. Evidently their only
dishes were soup plates, and I saw why

I had .been requested to bring a deep
dish, for the pigeons and gravy were
served in it. After dinner we returned
to the feast house. They had music (?)
and drills for entertainment. Young men
marched in to the music of an old accordion and went through a drill which
would startle a Delsarte class. Part of
the time they sang, but no two were in
the same key and the tune was a weird
one, which seemed to go in a circle and
had no place to stop, so we were not
particularly charmed. A long procession
of men, each carrying an immense stock
of sugar cane, came in and placed the
cane in a great pile in front of Xanakin.
When we were ready to start home we
discovered quite a little procession was
ready to accompany us and help our boys
carry the roast pig, yam, baskets of
cooked bread fruit, sugar cane and other
things which had been given to us.
It is the custom in Micronesia for all
the people in a neighborhood (where it
it Christian) to come together each evening for prayers. Every evening about
seven o'clock some of the boys blow the
horn (a very large shell which makes a
noise like a fog horn) and the people
gather here at the church. No one lives
on the mission land except the native
preacher and his family, but usually there
arc a number of others about his house,
and a few natives come from quite a distance; frequently there are twenty or
even thirty present at prayers. The people have been in the habit of singing a
song or two and offering a prayer, with
a few words from the preacher, perhaps.
But neither here nor at Kiti nor Mant
did they read any Scripture before we
came.
The Call to the Universal Day of
Prayer for Students.
For several
years the Christian student
of Germany, Great Britain,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland,
Holland, France, Switzerland, the
United States, Canada, South Africa,
Australasia, and also Japan, China, India, Ceylon, and other mission lands,
have united in observing the second Sunday of February as a Universal Day of
Prayer for Students. Reports received
from over thirty countries give facts
showing that the observance of this day
of prayer has been attended with most
graitfying spiritual results in all parts
of the world. The General Committee
of the World's Student Christian Federation, composed of official representatives of all these movements, hereby calls
upon all Christian student organizations,
and upon Christians in general, to observe Sunday, February 9th, 1902, as a
movements
day of special prayer on behalf of students.
It is believed by leaders in Christian
work among students that there is indeed great need of united prayer for
students. The past few years have witnessed an unprecedented multiplication
of Christian student organizations and
a world-wide extension of the student
Christian movement. There is needed a
correspondingly great intensive work.
This must conic in large degree through
prayer. The difficulties and perils in the
pathway of the student movement are
Xo field is

without its difficulties, problems, and
dangers. Prayer is an essential factor
in removing all these hindrances. The
opportunities for usefulness which today confront the student movement in
every land are greater and more inspiring than ever. God alone can enable
us to recognize and improve these opportunities. The words of St. Paul to
the Corinthians are expressive of the
present position of the student movement, "A great door and effectual is
opened unto me, and there are many adversaries." Above all it must be borne
in mind that the student movement came
into being as a spiritual movement, and
such it must remain if it is to accomplisH its mission in the world. Xo movement can preserve its spirituality apart
from God, and lie manifests His presence and power in answer to prayer. In
view of considerations like these it is
hoped that the coming Universal Day
of Prayer for Students may be more
widely and faithfully observed than in
any preceding year.
A few suggestions are given to facilitate making the most out of the day:
(i) If practicable let more than one day
be observed. In some placet it has been
found desirable to devote the Saturday
preceding the Day of Prayer to preparatory services. In other cases the following Monday is used for special student
evangelistic meetings. (2) Let there be
meetings of earnest Christian students
given up largely if not entirely to intercession. In connection with this Call are
given a number of objects for praise and
intercession. (3) There should be also
at least one meeting for all students in
which the aim shall be to present the
claims upon them of Christ as Savior
and Lord.
(4) This Call should be
brought to the attention of Christian
ministers and they should be requested
to preach sermons designed to influence
students for Christ, and to call forth on
their behalf more prayer among Christians. The Call should also be reprinted
in the religious press.
Unbelief, indifference, and other difficulties, should not be permitted by any-
one who is interested in the progress of
the Kingdom of Christ among students
to keep him from doing all in his power
to enlist in their interest the definite and
earnest prayers of Christians. The teachings of Christ Himself on united prayer,
the prayer achievements of the early
Christians, the signal triumphs of prayer
in the life of all spiritual movements,
should encourage us to work for and to
expect a large spiritual fruitage in connection with the coming Day of Prayer.

Judgment of mankind. For any one of
these conflicting opinions, it is not very
difficult to find plausible support from
the language used in different prophecies. To the writer's mind, the Preniillenarian view seems to be most clearly
in accord with the language of prophecy,
in both the Xew and the Old Testaments, and especially in Revelation.
As to the precise time when the Lord
is to return, it was evidently not intended that we should know. Utterly futile
have been various attempts at arithmetical calculation of the time. There is,
however, a most impressive line of indications pointing to a not very distant
crisis and consummation in this world's
history. The present progressive changes
in Civilization, in Social Order, in Political affairs, seem full of portent. All
things seem to be hastening with accelerating speed towards a great Crisis.
There seems to be a general tendency
towards a Better Day, yet the Powers of
Evil are most formidable. The rising
Sun of Righteous reorganization of Society is enveloped in thickest clouds.
At such a portentous time, the Christian's expectation of a great Heavenly
interposition by the Lord of the Kingdom imparts confidence and courage.
We are not preaching the Gospel of
Peace, Repentance and Righteousness
unsupported. There is a vast Heavenly
reserve of force ready to act at the critical time. The Church is to go forward
with fullest assurance in its great work
of preaching the Gospel to the ends of
the earth, and making Christ known to
all mankind. In His own time and way
be will make the victory complete.
August, 1902, may exert a helpful influence on the spiritual life of the students of all lands.
Christ's Second Coming.
At a meeting of the Ministerial Union
on December 16th Rev. B. L. Howe,
pastor of a Second Advent Church, read
a paper on this subject, confining him-
self mainly to the Scripture prophecies,
without indulging in their interpretation.
This was followed by a full hour of
earnest discussion, developing various
and adverse views. Some of the speakers expressed a strong sense of the great
importance of belief in this doctrine to
the spiritual life of Christians, others
doubting it.
The apostle Paul certainly held a very
strong belief that the Lord Jesus would
again appear from heaven in great power
and glory. He especially exhorted the
Thessalonian Christians to be widely
awake respecting that coming event. It
seems clear that Paul expected that event
to occur within his own life-time. In
that he was mistaken, since it has not yet
taken place. As recorded in Mark 13:
32, the Lord expressly told his disciples
that he did not know when his great appearing would take place. The time
seems to have been divinely left uncertain, so that the new and young Church
might feel the fullest stimulus of that
great hope, without thinking it to be
postponed to a far distant future. Their
strong expectation of the Lord's reappearing certainly acted as a great incentive to zeal and support to steadfastness
amid their terrible persecutions.
After the lapse of many ages of delay
in the fulfilment of this great prophecy,
modern Christians very generally adopted a belief that the world is to lie gradually converted to Christ by existing
spiritual agencies, and that a long "milleniuni" of earthly holiness is to elapse,
an age of universal righteousness and
peace, after which Christ will come to
the General Judgment Day. Many however, the present writer included, interpret the prophecies to mean that our
Lord will come in person to give the
victory and usher in the Millenium, so
establishing his Kingdom on earth. We
are called Pre-millenarians, the larger
body Post-millenarians. Both parties believe in the complete overthrow of sin in
the world, and in the establishment of a
purified social state of justice, holiness,
and happiness.
Unless we are mistaken, the denomination known as Seventh-day Adventists
differ from our view in expecting at
Christ's Advent a complete dissolution of
present earthly conditions, and the final
Dr. L. M. Hartley, the superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, has retired
on account of the failure of the health
of Mrs. Hartley in this climate. This is
greatly to the regret of the friends of
this important work. It is however
cheering to know that the Rev. \V. 11.
Rice will take Dr. Hartley's place in the
work, which we may believe will be carried on with energy and ability. Such
work is greatly needed in order to resist
the lately growing tendency to multiply
saloons in city and country.

new buildings, one on either side of the
knoll where the present old buildings are
located. The center of the knoll will be
occupied by the residence of the principal. The whole is on a commanding
site, with a fine view of Hilo city and
bay.
The new buildings are expected to cost
$15,000 each. The money is not yet all
in sight, but many substantial promises
have been made, and the necessary
amount is confidently expected.
The girls are to he taught all the
domestic arts, as well as other branches
of industrial training. The boys are already being taught various trades. The
different crops grown on the premises
for the food of the scholars have long
given ample facility for instruction in
agriculture. Sixty-eight boys are in attendance at the present time. The course
of training covers seven years.
The Hilo Boarding School was founded in 1836 by the missionary Rev. David
B. Lyman, whose grandson is the present
principal, and is conducting the important changes in progress. There is an
endowment of $40,000, which goes far
towards maintaining the ordinary expenses of the school.
Episcopal Changes Agreed to.
A lengthy meeting of the Synod of the
Anglican Church in Hawaii was held
during the first half of December. It resulted in determining that on April ist,
1902, the present diocese of Honolulu
will become a missionary district of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States. It also transpired that
the acceptance of this change by the
General Convention in San Francisco
had been facilitated by a subscription of
certain members of the Church in Honolulu of $1,500 for five years towards
the stipend of a new Bishop, to be a
person not at present ministering in Hawaii.
Although the sessions of the Synod
were not free from acrimonious expressions, it is pleasant to record that they
closed in an amicable manner, and with
resolutions of regard and sympathy for
the retiring Bishop. Dr. Willis during
his long episcopate has shown himself
a devoted and laborious worker, and of
much public and private benevolence.
He now expresses doubt whether he shall
return to England, or remain in Hawaii.
Preparations have begun for new

Pelekunu and Wailau.
These two lonely valleys on the north
island'of Molnkai form one
under
the care of Rev. G. W. Koparish,
lopapeta. About eighty people live in
one valley and between fifty and sixty in
the other. The chief industry carried on
by tliem is taro culture. There is very
little chance for fishing, a few mats are
made and some awa is grown. When
the taro business is at its height, sometimes six hundred or more paiai are
shipped weekly.
In the winter season these valleys are
very inaccessible. (ireat waves pound on
a boulder-covered beach and make landing there impossible at all seasons of thcyear. The only approach by boat to Peiekuiui is under the lee of a cliff which
reaches out from the side of the valley.
It has a sort of rocky shelf, up against
which boats can run at intervals and
give the passengers a chance to jump
for the shore. They must then climb
up the face of the cliff for a couple of
rods and follow a zigzag path that finally
descends into the valley. As the landings are often made in the darkness of
the early dawn, the course of the boat
and the steps of the traveller have to be
guided by torches that flare up along the
pathway on the face of the cliff, casting
an uncertain light on the rocks and
waves beneath. It is by no means a comfortable landing for either shoreman or
sailor.
The only other road into or out of Pelekunu valley is up at its head and over
the peak of Kilohana which has an attitude of over 5.000 feet. Starting from
the mouth of the valley, the traveller has
to cross and recross the valley bed of
the stream many times and then wind
his way along a steep ridge that runs up

well as feet, have to be engaged in the
laborious ascent, which takes from three
to four hours according to the agility
and strength of the climber. All luggage
has to be strapped to the back. They
tell of a strong kukini (runner) who
carried a pig over the road and down
into the valley, but when he had accomplished the feat it was found that the ribs
of the pig, as he lay across the man's
back, had been broken by the jolts of
the rough descent. From the top of the
mountain the descent to Kamalo requires
side of the
two or three hours more of comparatively easy mountain travel.
The mountains that pile up and form
a sort of semi-circle behind and to the
south of the three valleys of YVaikolu,
Pclekunu and Wailau catch the clouds
and form the water-shed of the island,
most of the waters being deflected back
into these valleys, each of which is shut
off from me other by arms of the mountain and has a branching water system of
its own. Millions upon millions of gallons of water thus hourly run to waste
which might be utilized in fertilizing the
broad, deep, rich, though arid, lands of
western Molokai.
The people of Pclekunu have a school
attended by more than twenty pupils.
There is also a church where services are
held every Sunday, the deacons taking
turns in officiating. The pastor, who is
supposed to be a resident ol Wailau, can
at best, without a great deal of labor,
make Only occasional trips to Pelckunu.
To get there he must go by canoe or
boat, or when that is impracticable, be
must wade up the Wailau stream to its
head waters, climb out of the valley
over a spur of the mountain-range and
descend into the valley of Mapulchu.
Thence he must take the public road to
Kamalo, where he must begin again to
climb, this time to the top of the island
where Ml. Kilohana lifts its head, and
then descend, to the shore through the
head-waters of Pclekunu valley. Such
a visit would take a strong man and two
days of difficult travel, after which it
would be -pleasant to rest for a week.
The people of Pclekunu can all easily
be got to church, as they live within gunshot of each other and are not so supplied with novelties as to make their occasional church-going uninteresting.
I am told that the dampness of the valley, caused by the almost continuous
rainfall of winter, the northern exposure
and the lofty mountain walls that shut
it in on the other three sides, make it
malarial. Doubtless the vast amount of
vendure which the valley contains has its
effect. Here is a region practically undisturbed by cattle or horses or the
browsing deer or goat. It should be
kept so, that it may continue to give its
perennial water supply which some
future enterprise may apply to use.
With the exception of two or three
Chinamen and two Japanese, all the inhabitants of these valleys are Hawaiians,
who live a secluded peaceful life of labor. Everything is primitive. There
are no stores to go to for supplies, and
whoever lands there must live on the
food of the people. We ate dried squid,
taro, paiai and chicken and fared well.

The Work in the North Pacific MissionaryInstiue.
By Rev.
John
Leadingham.
After the period of evangelistic work
which occupied the greater part of last
year, the North Pacific Missionary Institute took up regular school work again
at the usual time this year. The nationality of the students and the pro
vision made for their instruction, however, plainly show the transitional stage
through which the school is passing.
When it opened there were seven students who wished to enter—one old student and six new ones: of which three
were Hawaiians and three Japanese. Of
the three new Hawaiian students, two
were approved by the Oahu Association
at its October meeting, while approval
was withheld from the third until some
technicalities which stood in his way
could be satisfactorily adjusted. This
young man has however without being
granted aid or being admitted to standing as a member of the school, been permitted to attend the classes as he has
been able.
()f the three Japanese
students, one is
a graduate of the Hilo Hoys' Hoarding
School, and is qualified to carry on the
work. The other two were still deficient
in their knowledge of English and hence
not able to take the same work as the
others; and so in order to save the expense of additional teaching, one of them
was put into Mills Institute for instruction in English and the other who found
a boarding place with Rev. Mr. Okumura, attends the government school on
Beretania street.
There are, therefore, seven young men
in the line of preparation for the ministry, although only five of them receive
instruction in the institute. As yet Mr.
Leadingham has been the only teacher
this year. Rev. Mr. Parker's other duties have kept him from his customary
share in the work. It is hoped that with
the new year he may again find time to
take up the work.
The classes are
studying Church History, Moral Science
and the Life of Christ as embodied in
the four Gospels. This latter study ; s
carried on constructively, each student
preparing a life of Christ of his own
from the data gathered.
Several of the former students who
have fields in Honolulu and vicinity still
have homes on the school premises.

Poai, the pastor of the Churches of Kalihi and Moanalua, and Rev. L. K. Kakani, assistant editor of the Hoahana,
the Sunday School quarterly used in the
Hawaiian Churches. These men are doing effective work in their various places.
In the past few years the school has
given instruction to one Portuguese and
several Chinese students. The presence
of the Japanese this year would seem
to prophesy that in the not distant future
these various nationalities will figure
more largely in the membership of the
school.

We tried to make clear to them how
much trouble the opium and the gambling made for them, and that Christ
could help them to overcome these habits.
They gave good attention and often
would say, "that is good." The men
seemed much pleased and asked us to
come again.
I trust it brings a little sunshine into
their hard toilsome lives, where there is
so little of joy and brightness. There
were many similar meetings held in
other Chinese camps on the island, and

Life in Mindanao.
From the P. C. Advertiser.
How do we live in Zamboanga, do you
ask? Well, perhaps an answer to this
question will prove of interest to our old
friends in Hawaii. To give that answer
in a word, we lead a very simple life.
In a former letter it was said that the
majority of the people of this town live
in thatch houses; and we are in the majority. ■ These houses usually stand high
above the ground, leaving room for a
first story to be used for such purposes
other than residence as the owner may
determine. With the Spaniards it was
a favorite place for the carriage, and
even for the horse and cow. Now it is
not at all uncommon for the first floors
of the residences of "our best people"
to be used for the storage or sale of merchandise. Even the pretentious palace
of the rajah, or king, of the Moros has
two Chinese stores on the ground floor.
This custom of living only on the second floor, or at least as high as the second floor, probably originated in considerations of health. Physicians strongly
advise all Americans coming to this
country to conform with this custom,
which prevails in other parts of the islands no less than in Zamboanga. Some
tribes -of the natives of the island of
Mindanao have the interesting custom of
building their houses high in the trees.
Some of these houses stand fifty or sixty
feet from the ground, and are reached
by rattan ladders, which are drawn up
at night. This custom seems to have
had its origin in the less interesting custom of other natives of thrusting their
spears up through the frail floors, generally made of splints of bamboo, on which
their enemies sleep—just to tickle them
in the ribs; so we come back to the question of health.
1 lere let me say that the deadliness of
our climate has been very much overworked abroad. Soldiers stationed on
Mindanao and Jolo make better health
records than those stationed in the
United States. So when charging up to
the war the deaths due to disease, please
omit those few which occur in this region.
"Return we to our muttons," and that
reminds me that mutton and beef are
luxuries such as we are not able to enjoy in our new home. Pork can be had
�at the market almost any day, but turtle
meat is coming to be our stand-by. Fish
is abundant and cheap, but not of first
quality. Chickens are used as food here
to such an extent as to wear out one's
appetite. Eggs, also, are abundant, but
frequently only "tolerably good." Sweet
potatoes are plentiful, but of bad quality.
For the most part they are gathered wild
from the mountain regions. Bananas
are plentiful, cheap, and of good quality.
This is about the list of things we found
in the markets on our arrival. "Groceries!" exclaimed a leading merchant.
of whom I had made inquiries. "Groceries! If you want copra or rice 1 can
get it for you; but groceries are not to
lie had in this town." Yet we have been
able to get a very limited supply, though
we had to wait for a steamer from Singapore to bring us so common a thing as a
bag of flour. It was amusing to read,
under the gorgeous Chinese label which
decorated the bag, the name of a California mill.
Servants? Well, yes; I think we have
servants here. In fact, we seem to have
the solution of the whole servant question in the "muchacho," or boy. The
muchacho can do but one kind of work,
and to that he gives his whole attention.
One is called the cook —not that he
knows anything about cooking, but because he likes to watch the lady of the
bouse cook. Yet he learns rapidly, and
within a week knows how to turn off the
flame of an oil stove. Hut this is not
"cooking," and is apt to result unsatisfactorily. Unless he is told when to turn
it off and is watched while he does it,
the flame is apt to burn on from onemeal to another, unless the oil in the
tank is all burned out. All this confusion
results from trying to get the muchacho
away from his favorite calling.
The cook cannot wash dishes, and he
refuses to compromise himself with trying. He has "cooked" for all the principal people, past or present, on the island, and he has always had a dishwasher. The dish-washer may not know
your way, but, like the cook, he is quick
to learn. He will put his dish-pan on the
floor, sit down by it to do his work, and
stand the dishes in the sun about the
kitchen door to dry, unless you object.
Put when you have once shown him
your way he will always follow- it thereafter—provided you stand by and compel
him to do so, vi et annis.
Another muchacho acknowledges his obligations to sweep the floors, carry in
water and wait on the table, lie waits
on the table better than he does anything else, because he is under closer
supervision. As to his house-work, he
could probably give points to the most
negligent servant who ever swept a bach-

elor's room in Hawaii. But the most
marked characteristic of this muchacho
which he shares also with the dish-washer, is the facility with which he can
get out of the way of his work. As
inuchachos do not live at the house of
the employer, they have to be watched
with the greatest of care or they will
"disappear like the morning dew." But
they will return very promptly when the
pleasures of the town pall upon their
sated souls. Great is the muchacho!
The muchacho has an unfortunate reputation for his "taking ways," but we
have not found this reputation deserved.
We trust him as we trusted servants in
Hawaii, and have not found our trust
betrayed.
Since coming to this town, a little more
than two months ago, I have travelled
about twelve hundred miles on official
business. Traveling here is much more
difficult and unsatisfactory than in Hawaii. Twice within the last week I have
passed along a coast for a hundred miles
without seeing a house, though I did sec
some evidences of the existence of habitations in the interior. Of course, there
are no roads on such coasts, and my
traveling must be by sea, either in a
coasting steamer or in a Moro boat. For
the most part I am studying the situation and the people. What 1 learn has
no place in this letter, but will be told
later.
Henry S. Townsend.
Zamboanga, Mindanao, Nov. 23, 1901.
Recent Martyrs in China.
"The careful estimate of Dr. J. R.
Hykes, agent of the American Bible Society in China, is that 183 Protestant
missionaries (60 men, 75 women and 48
children) were martyred, and the number of native Christians (including Roman Catholics) he places as h'gh as 40,-000."—Chinese Recorder.
"The North China Mission lay in the
very track of the Boxer whirlwind, which
swept everything foreign before it, and
left a bloody ruin in its train. One by
one the mission premises at Pinching,
Paotingfu, Peking, Tungcho and Kalgan
were visited by robbers, sacked and
burned to the ground. At Tungcho the
college campus, where once stood Williams hall, and four new and commodious
houses, surrounded by happy life, was
plowed and sowed to corn. Happily the
missionaries all escaped alive, except at
Paotingfu, where Mr. Pitkin, Miss Morrill and Miss Gould, unable to escape and
cut off from relief, after weary days of
waiting, were captured and slain. Many
native Christians with their families and
friends also shared in the massacre, these
losses falling with especial weight upon

The Government should not in any
be in the saloon business, and
should be ashamed to be thought so. It
should be hostile to it. It is a shameful
business, and a deep disgrace to all who
participate in it, because it is devoted to
turning men into drunkards, and thus
destroying them in body and soul.

We greatly regret to criticize adversely the attitude taken by Governor Dole
towards the liquor traffic, because we
thoroughly know him to be both an enlightened and conscientious official. Rut
his long familiarity in dealing with the
business seems to have rendered him in
some degree insensible to its actual turpitude. We refer to bis expression which
we heard him use, "I am not ashamed to
say the government is in the business,
and responsible to a large extent."
It seems to us, that this is not the attitude which the Government can properly occupy towards a traffic in intoxicants which is devoted to tempting the
purchasers. It may possibly be the duty
of the government to .conduct dispensaries, where no inducements, temptations or solicitations are made to purchasers. But not so with saloons. The
proper attitude of the government is that
of a restricting and discouraging agency
toward that which is evil and destructive
to society, but which the law forbids it to
suppress. The money derived from licenses should be regarded as in the nature
of a fine going towards meeting the immense police and prison expenditure
consequent on the evil traffic.
struggle to cast off old heathen customs.
They have to overcome much ridicule and
opposition from those who hate the Word
of God.
We have had, without intermission,
Sabbath services in the three stations occupied by us, and would gladly open another station if we had another helper.
Nearly 500 people are willing to listen to
the gospel on Sabbath mornings, which
is about one-third of the population. We
generally have morning and evening services at the main station and afternoon
services at the out-stations. The singing
in our services is also improving, but it
means much hard work for Mrs. dc la
Porte and Kenie as the people have little
or no ear for music. We have about
twenty young people who are being especially trained to lead the congregational singing. Oqr midweek prayer meetings are real seasons of refreshing and
praise to God, and are attended by an average of about 200 people, principally
young. As the people of Nauru do not
live in compact villages, it is somewhat
difficult to get those who live at a distance
from the mission to come to evening services. However, some of the most faithful ones come in spite of the five or six
miles they have to walk, and receive a
blessing for it.
Every second and fourth Friday in the
month Mrs. dc la Porte and Kenie are
having women's meetings, which are indeed a help to the mothers and girls on
the island. Every first Friday in the
month we have our consecration meeting
for those who have, or desire baptism.
Sabbath-school meets every Sabbath
morning, attended by all who come to
church. We translate the lessons for the
people, and the younger ones and children commit them to memory. It is a rare
occasion that any of the school children
are missing at Sunday-school. William
has charge and be knows how to get the
attention of the people to the beautiful
Bible stories. We deplore the fact that
we have no S. S. picture rolls. Those
discarded at home would be helpful to us.
()n Sabbath morning July 14, we were
enabled to dedicate our new, beautiful little church. We had a grand dedication
service, attended by more than 500 people, as well as by the lix'al magistrate and
some of the other whites. Our choir sang
the Te Ueuni as well as several hymns
translated for the occasion. In the sermon Jehovah's great mercy in sending
this people the Hread of Life was not
overlooked. Nor were forgotten His servants in Honolulu who take such a practical interest in the Nauru people. It was
a beautiful service, and with joy and
peace in our hearts we reluctantly left the
building.
Last October we decided that we could
no longer conduct our worship in the
small, old tumble-down thatched building
which was a relic of Tabora's time, anil
that we should honor God with a building, such as the means of our people could
afford. Most of the material could be
found in the island; only for the altar and
lamps a few hundred marks would be
needed. The people were delighted with
our plans, but had little idea of what a
building we wanted, or these dear old
men would have been less eager to go to
work. The South Sea Islander is not a
particular friend of hard work.
Early in November they pulled down
the old building. The first joy had somewhat abated, and the cocoanut logs for
posts, and Pandanus logs for rafters were
very slow in coming in, so that in March
we had only the bare frame up. The old
people had one excuse and then another
for being slow, but at last they came out
with the truth, and said that they were
too weak to work any faster, which interpreted means too lazy.
�12
There remained to be made about 3,5°0
pandanus thatch for the roof. About
12,000 sticks had to be cut and gathered
in the bush for the walls. This was a
most laborious task as each stick had to
be whittled with a knife until it resembled
a small batten so as to fit into its place.
15,000 fathoms of cocoanut cord were
needed to tie the structure together. Nails
were used only for the altar. As we
wanted a raised floor, i.e., higher in the
back of the church than near the altar,
something like 30,000 baskets of nice
clean coral gravel had to be brought from
the beach. Lime had to be burned to
whitewash the building, and many minor
things to be done. Of course the large
mats for the floor, and the neater ones for
the platform could not be made until the
rest should be finished.
It was now the middle of March and so
slow and listless was the work that it
would take a year more to finish. We enlisted the school children to help the old
people. Work they did from early mom
until dark. We closed school until the
House should be finished. They vied
with each other. Some gathered sticks,
others prepared them, and others fitted
them into the walls. The larger girls
made thatch, cocoanut cord and mats.
The smaller children carried gravel from
the beach, playing as they worked. Until
the middle of May the mission premises
were like a busy beehive. The children
made lots of noise but did good work.
The old people looked on with amazement. Never before did the children of
the highest chiefs mingle with the lowest
in manual labor. But was it not done for
Jehovah? The children understood this
better than those who remembered the
awful times of war and heathenism.
Under our supervision the little ones
completed a building of which they are
justly proud, especially of the little belltower. Considering the material which
we have here, even strangers admire our
church. On May Ist all was completed,
with the exception of the altar (pulpit?).
The lumber ordered for this did not arrive till late in June. It was paid for by
the regular contribution money. Sixteen
lamps were bought by the people individually. Two of these cost each 5,500 cocoanuts, while the smaller ones cost each
800. We have now ordered a church bell
to cost $100. For this we had to collect
65,000 nuts, and sold them at the rate of
$1.50 per 1,000. We trust to receive the
bell later on in the year.

year, I have taught the more advanced Dear Bro. Gulick and friends, will you
�not especially remember us in your prayers for the sake of this blessed work.
But how can we place these portions of
Scripture in the hands of the people? We
have no funds, no Mission Board to assist us, only our dear friends in Honolulu,
who have so nobly assisted this work.
And yet once more must we appeal to
them. We do not feel that we should
withhold the Word from our people any
longer than necessary. Why cannot poor
Nauru have a small hand press like other
mission fields. We are willing enough to
turn night into day, and print and bind
these books if some kind friends would
furnish us the needed little press, Not
only portions of the Scriptures but all
other 6chool-books could be prepared here
on the spot. Should some kind friend
feel disposed to help in this matter, it
would be well for you, Mr. Gulick, to
authorize us to order such a small press
from Sydney, N. S. W. We think $50 to
$100 might pay for press and type. In
the meantime we shall pray about it and
keep on translating.
Oct. 18. Contributions. According to
German law we take up two collections
annually, viz.: in January and July. (Hir
first collection July 1900, amounted to
marks 143.; our second Jan. 1901, rose
to marks 279, while that of July 1901
would have risen to m. 344-75. if we amltl
have got the cash. As it is, only m. 171.75
were actually received, while the balance
of m. 173 is yet to be paid. Our traders
on Nauru are so heavily in debt that their
firms refuse to advance them any cash.
They can only get sufficient goods to buy
nuts and a little food for their own use,
and our people can buy no money with
their nuts. So the mission must suffer,
because bad, drunken men have contracted large debts in former days.
I have communicated with the Commissioner and the firms, and hope for a
favorable reply about getting sufficient
cash on the island to afford the people an
opportunity to contribute a little towards
the Master's work. These traders charge
the poor natives most exorbitant prices—
1 yard print for 100 cocoanuts, or 35 lbs.
copra, or 52 cents per yard for goods
worth 6 cents a yard in U. S. A. 50 lbs.
flour are worth 2,000 nuts, 45 lbs. rice
1,500, a 1 lb. tin corned beef 150 nuts and
other things in proportion. For each
mark (0.23) cash the people must pay
165 cocoanuts.
As we have had very little rain since
April, nuts are now very scarce, and it is
an open question whether we shall be able
to collect the outstanding m. 173.
Besides the new church-building we
have put up several smaller out-houses

ing already, for without it we should have
had to drink the bad-smelling surface
water, at least during the last three
months. God bless her for it. In June we
received the lumber and roof-iron to complete our own house, which we did at
once. We also gave it a new coat of
paint, and may now call it finished. One
corner of the verandah is boarded up for
a store-room, which now gives us two
larger and one smaller rooms in the
house. So we are very comfortably
housed.
Oct. 30, 1901. That the Master's cause
is gaining a strong hold in Nauru is an
undisputed fact. The forces of the "Evil
< )ne" are aware of this and therefore on
the alert. All the power of the heathen
party was at times directed against our
work, but we have always won the victory. Last week a few of the worse
characters on the island began the most
immoral dance I have ever heard of. Both
sexes participated in it in a nude state.
They tried to induce our school children
to join them, but only one boy from the
main school could be tempted. We at
once went and interviewed the dancers,
showed them their errors, and offered
p.-avers in their behalf. One party then
dispersed, but the ringleaders of the second parly were not so complying. I then
spoke about it to the magistrate, who was
more than surprised to hear that such a
going on within two miles of
thing
his house. He promised to look into the
matter and punish the ringleaders. He
has done so and forbidden all dances for
the future. But we do not trust in the
arm of flerh.
Nov. ii, 1901. Last Saturday was
just two years since we landed here. God
has been very good to us all this time.
We praise Him for what we have been
permitted to accomplish since we arrived.
April 7th will be three years since we
sailed from Honolulu. Pray for us.
Heathen superstitions are on the detlne, but nevertheless we find more than
enough of them yet. Especially is this
the case about fish. All the better kinds
are tabooed for one and another reason.
Only a few people dare to bring us fish,
mostly children. Even then we have to
bribe with hard bread, ribbons, etc. We
are now building a boat for ourselves.
William is a professional boat builder,
and much material grows on this island.
We hope soon to be independent with a
good strong large fishing boat.
The people of Nauru in their native
state are anything but cleanly in their
habits. Their low huts are the most
wretched I have seen. Now by an enacted law, every house is receiving a thorough cleansing and overhauling. Clean
gravel and new mats are also being put
in. In their food the people are not much

Vol. 60, No. 2.]
cleaner. The dirtiest women are employed to prepare it. Their favorite
preparation is called Edano, made from
pandanus. This is all the poor people
have to eat, besides cocoanuts and toddy.
At present, because of lack of rain, even
this Edano has failed them.
In the Master's name,

Letter from Rev. A. H. Smith, D.D.
Pang Chuang, Shantung, China,
Nov. 27th, 1901.
Dear Dr. Bishop.
It is a little more than a year since I
wrote you last, and at that time we did
not imagine that it would be so long ere
we should be able to return to our field.
But there were many hinderances, first
the generally unquiet conditions, then illhealth, and the necessity of having more
than one person to undertake the onerous
task of arranging for the indemnities of
our plundered and persecuted native
Christians. At length a little past the
middle of October we were able to reach
here in good order, escorted by the soldiers of a General in Chihli, and later by
those of Yuan Shih-k'ai the late Governor of this province. Dr. Peck, one of
our station who has been sent to care for
the station at Pao Ting Fu since his return last spring, preceded me by a few
weeks, and busied himself in endeavoring
to arrange for the payment of indemnities, but made little headway. On our
arrival we found that he had that day
sent the deputy back to the provincial
Capital (Chi Nan Fu) with the word
that he and I would soon follow to come
to some terms with the Foreign Bureau
there. We went within a week of our arrival, saw the Tao-t'ai at the head of the
Foreign Bureau, and were only able to
get from him 35 per cent of our reduced
claims—which was little more than half
of what we had hoped for, but was much
better than some other missions had been
able to secure. The fact that we were
the very last of the Protestant Missions
was in some respects an advantage, and
in others the reverse. A large number
of the Roman Catholic claims were still
unsettled, and the sums granted to them
will be much smaller than our proportion.
We find the church-members more delighted to welcome us than they ever were
before. If there ever had been the notion said to be so prevalent in Japan that
the foreign missionaries can be dispensed
with, that thought is now entirely dispelled. Their constant experiences of the
inability of the most benevolent and energetic Chinese to get anything really
done, has made them feel more than be-
�14
fore that foreigners are indispensable.
This is not an idea which we care to have
fostered, especially as our Church was on
the edge of self-support for two pastors,
but we must recognize the .fact. Since
we arrived we have delegations from all
parts of our wide field, asking us to visit
them, and in many cases offering places
of worship if we could only "send a
teacher." There has been a great deal of
the "no-hclp-for-it" recanting in which
some of the members either made a prostration at a temple, or at a series of them,
under penalty of being killed if they did
not. Some had sufficient stamina to resist this demand, but where it was firmly
pressed far the greater number yielded,
including some of those who had been
helpers.
We arc obliged to take account of the
very imperfect development of their
Christian life, and are trying to get them
voluntarily to acknowledge their fault.
Tn time this will all come about, and then
it will be decided what cognizance is to
be taken of it. After confession has been
made, a restoration to church-privileges
will follow in due course, and I have no
doubt whatever that as one result the
church will be much stronger than before,
and that many like Peter, when restored
will strengthen their brethren.
There are also indications that there is
to be a wide door opened, hitherto closed.
Many are inquiring what this doctrine is
which was supposed to have been toilfullv
exterminated, but has come to life again,
and is now as insistent as ever. The recent Imperial decrees ordering radical
changes in the civil examinations tend to
bring the Protestant Churches and their
educational system into prominence.
There never was a greater demand for
all sorts of text-books, and it is hard for
the presses to supply the demand.
Whether China is to remain quiet or to
be disturbed by another upheaval has
been a question causing anxiety to many.
But it must at least be admitted that
there arc no signs whatever that there
will be another outbreak like the last, and
if ever there is a rising at all it will probably be in some of the central provinces
where the terrible calamities of flood have
prepared the way for restlessness among
all classes. The future movements of the
Court are a problem to all of us, but we
fully expect it to return to Peking at no
distant day—an event which will do more
than any other to tranquilize the Empire.
Our Station is reduced from three men
to one, and from three single ladies to
two. Miss Porter being reappointed by
the Mission to the charge of the Bridgman School for Girls, in Peking, of which
she was the head more than thirty years
ago, We should like our friends to pray

Mr. Twombly's Paper on Hawaii.
Rev. A. S. Twombly at the Mohonk
Conference last October read a paper,
which we have received, entitled The Native Hawaiian of Yesterday and To-day.
We desire to commend it as being sound,
thoughtful, and accurately informed. It
takes a well-considered and philosophical
view of the various elements entering into the present political situation in Hawaii, which is justly regarded as far from
hopeful, owing to the mental childhood
of the large native majority of the voters, to whom the electoral franchise has
been prematurely given.
We have to demur at the writer's opinion that the American missionaries, arriving in 1820, "came a generation too
late." A watchful Providence guided
them here at the "strategic" moment,
when the death of the imperious Kamchamcha had removed what would have
been an insuperable obstacle to Christian
teaching, the old chieftain being an inveterate idolater, and wedded to the tabus as
an inseparable part of statecraft. It is
true that the missionaries were too late
to avert the destructive influences of a
corrupt commerce. This does not affect
the general justness of Mr. Twombly's
discussion.

the widow of the late James Campbell,
and of Prince David Kawananakoa, to
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell was a shrewd Scotchman
who created in sugar planting at Lahaina,
a fortune which at his death exceeded a
million, and whose recent valuation
reached two millions. This was left to
his widow and four daughters, but was
most wisely and carefully tied up under
trustees for a very long period, beyond
the reach of any spendthrift handling.
Mrs. Campbell is an accomplished and
travelled lady, the descendent of Hawaiian commoners, with one-fourth white
blood.
Col. Parker is the grandson of a prominent white lieutenant of Kamehameha,
with chief blood on the female side. He
owns an immense cattle ranch. He was
Liliuokalani's Prime Minister when she
was dethroned.
Prince David is a nephew of the late
dowager Queen Kapiolani, half of whose
estate he inherited, and is a descendant
of Kaumuarii, the king of Kauai eighty
years ago. He would be the present heir
to the throne, if it continued to exist.
Both the bridegrooms are gentlemen of
engaging manners and generous dispositions. Under the wise provisions of Mr.
Campbell's will, they and their wives may
long continue in the enjoyment of opulence.

Dr. Scudder.
After a visit of ten days, on the 28th
of January, there sailed for Japan per
steamer Gaelic, Rev. Doremus Scudder,
D.D., and wife.
Dr. Scudder has accepted a call from
the Hawaiian Board, to he associated
with Mr. Gulick in service for the 60,000
Japanese now upon our shores. Regarding the call for service in these islands as
the voice of God, he resigned the pastorate of the church of Woburn, Mass.,
one of the largest and most flourishing
Congregational churches in the vicinity
of Boston. He goes to Japan for some
months study of the language, after
which he will return for permanent work
in our midst.
His grandfather, Rev. Dr. John Scudder, was one of the missionaries sent by
the American Board to India about 80
years ago. Later the Arcot Mission of
India was by mutual agreement, transferred to the care of the Dutch Reformed Mission Board; and not less than
four or five of the sons of the pioneer
became missionaries in the Arcot field.
Among these was Rev. Henry M. Scudder, D.D., who later was for five years
pastor of the Howard street church of
San Francisco, and was for some years
the pastor of one of the leading churches
in Brooklyn, and was widely known as
one of the most eloquent pjreachers in
the States. His son, Rev. Doremus
Scudder, was appointed a missionary of
the American Board to Japan in 1885,
and was located for five years in Niigata,
where he made a successful acquisition
of perhaps the most difficult language
spoken among men.
Family reasons lead to his return to
the United States, where for the past
twelve years he has been a pastor in
Brooklyn and in Woburn.
Those who heard his sermon of last
Sabbath, in the Central Union Church,
upon the "unspeakable gift of God," all,
agree in the opinion of a member of the
Hawaiian Board, that "We made no mistake in calling him to Hawaii."

Anti-Saloon Rally.
Thursday, January 30, was made a
grand field day by the Anti-Saloon
League. Meetings were held thrice in
�18
the day. A morning gathering in the Y.
M. C. A. hall. A Business Men's meeting in Castle & Cooke's assembly room.
Evening meetings in Y. M. C. A. hall,
in Kawaiahao Church * for Hawaiians,
and in the Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese Churches.
The meeting in Y. M. C. A. hall was
attended by about 60 persons of the class
most interested in the subject. Mr. Theodore Richards presided. Reports were
given from the local field by representatives of the W. C. T. U., and of the Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and Hawaiian races. Facts and figures were given
in all the reports to show to what extent
the liquor traffic is being carried on in
the islands, and much was made of the
heavy increase in four years' time of the
number of saloons selling whisky and
other spirituous liquors. Superintendent
W. H. Rice of the Anti-Saloon League
made a powerful address. He arraigned
the present policy of the local government for permitting such a condition of
affairs. Lorrin Andrews made an address full of enthusiasm. The meeting
adjourned at noon, voting unanimously
in favor of a resolution that it was the
sense of the anti-saloon gathering that
no more liquor licenses should be granted by Treasurer Wright in the Territory
of Hawaii.
An able address was read by Mrs. J.
M. Whitney, president of the W. C. T.
U., recounting their efforts in the past,
and inciting the men of the League to
vigorous effort.
Mr. K. Komura stated the alarming
extent of the drink evil among our 60,---000 Japanese. It was the greatest evil
among them. The importations of Japanese saki amounted to $235,118, or 231,---288 gallons, paying a duty of $90,644.
Saki drunkenness lasts longer than that
from other forms of alcohol and more
impairs capacity for labor. (Saki is a
kind of rice wine, averaging 18 per cent
of alcohol.) The Ewa Plantation had
succeeded in prohibiting the use of saki
among their laborers.
Dr. Khai Fai Li gave the Chinese side.
He said there were four large wholesale
liquor houses among the Chinese, but
these were losing money every year, as
the Chinese were not naturally drinkers.
The losses which these firms were sustaining were not to be wondered at, considering that the Chinese did not drink
to any extent except on the days they
celebrated some national event. Samshu
was the principal drink, and this was not
so strong as the foreign distilled liquors.
There was one Chinese drink which contained about sixty per cent of alcohol.
The importation from Northern China
was Sam Ching, which contains about 50
per cent of alcohol. The strongest drink

Lorrin Andrews spoke on the subject.
"Practical Lines of Work." He made an
earnest appeal to the people to use their
voles in the matter of temperance agitation. There should lie something more

be practical. The saloon element was
very practical in its methods. If the
temperance people wanted to put a stop

help the cause by assisting practically.
As to Mr. Rice's statement that Treasurer Wright had absolute power in the

The missionaries had established
schools in all districts of the Islands. A
large proportion of the adults and children had learned to read.more or less imperfectly. A number of elementary
school books bad been prepared and published. An edition of the New Testa
incut had been published in the native
tongue, and considerable portions of the
< >ld Testament. With this access to the
Bible, and with much diligent instruction,
many of the people had received a considerable knowledge of divine truth.
About 15 different stations had now
beeii occupied by resident missionaries,
with usually two families at each station.
These men maintained regular Sabbath
or week-day services at from 3 to 4 outstatioiis, so that the Gospel was preached
by white missionaries weekly or monthly
at from 50 to 60 different points. Besides
this, there were the regular but very imperfect ministrations in every district by
native lunas or deacons. There were' no
native ordained ministers, and scarcely
any instructed or trained preachers. Here
and there were comparatively able school
teachers who had enjoyed a four years
course of instruction at the Lahainaluna
High School, established in 1831.
At most of these stations, Churches of
Christ had been organized, embracing, as
before stated, a total membership of
1,168. The largest of these churches was
in Honolulu, with 281 members. Great
caution and deliberation had been exercised in admitting professed converts to
church privileges. ( )ften their spiritual
experiences seemed to be dee]), and attended with manifestations of emotion.
Occasionally something like revivals
would occur to a limited extent.
In treating upon the work preliminary
to this Great Awakening, something may
be said as to the forms in which the Gospel was commonly presented by the earlier missionaries, and a better form by
those who came later. It is not necessarily a criterion of the soundness of the
doctrines taught, that the Holy Spirit
mercifully blesses the teaching. God may
and does use very defective teaching of
the word to produce great fruits in the
conversion of sinners and the tanctification of Christians. Yet the more nearly
the teaching conforms to that of the
Holy Spirit in the Scriptures, doubtless
the more effective it becomes.
The teaching of the earlier missionaries had been blessed to the conversion
of a great number of Hawaiian* in all
grades of life from prince to serf. During these 18 preliminary years there had
been formed in the image of Christ many
pure and noble souls living in the joy of
the Divine communion. Yet I think it

less adapted to facilitate the work of the
Divine Spirit, than were the- gentler and
sweeter forms in which the Gospel was
presented by those more lately arrived,
who had been in the wonderful revivals
under Finney's preaching. There has
conic down from my early childhood a
most painful remembrance of the very
harsh and severe idea of God's wrath and
jealousy, and the terrors of his rule,
which were prominent in the usual religious instruction of children. At the
age of six or seven yean 1 knew chiefly
of a God of severe and rigorous justice
and nothing of 1 lim as a Loving Rather.
1 was taught to think myself a wicked
little sinner, and that "God was angry
with sinners every day." I must pray to
he "converted" and have a "new heart,"
or else endless torments in hell awaited
me, the actual terror of which was often
very great.
It is true that we were taught thai
"God so loved the world that lie gave
His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believed in Him should not perish.*' But
it was nut made clear that all one had
to do was to willingly come to t tirist.
The "new heart" was in the way. God
might or might not impart a new heart,
according to I lis sovereign pleasure. All
this seemed to place God at a repelling
distance, and not in a Fatherly attitude.
And I well remember the winning presentation of the Lord Jesus in our children's meetings in Honolulu, by some of
the later arrivals, especially by Mr.
Spaulding, who came in [832, and Mr.
Coan in 1835.
( Mhcrs who brought a modified or New
School Calvinistic Theology from Auburn Seminary were Baldwin, Dibble and
Tinker in 1831, Lyons in 1832, and Lowell Smith in 1835. All of these earnest
men had experienced more or less of the
wonderful revivals that pervaded Central New York during the earlier labors
of Charles G. Finney, whom Princeton
theologians called a heretic. The entrance of these devoted men into the Hawaiian work gave a new impulse to the
evangelization of the people. There was
a more direct and efficient presentation of
Christ, less encumbered by the old and
stiff Westminster forms of doctrine. This
i.ew preaching undoubtedly contributed
r ■ eh to the great spiritual awakening
among the Hawaiians.
Signs of the special presence of the
Holy Spirit began to be marked during
the year 1837. The General Meeting of
the missionaries that summer in Honolulu was attended by special earnestness
of feeling. There had just arrived a
large accession to their force of 32 men
and women. During their meeting a great
tenderness was created by the death in
their midst of the very lovely wife of
Rev. Lorenzo Lyons.
The missionaries
returned to their stations with greatly
kindled hearts, full of love for souls, and
hop* of gathering them in. During the
latter halt of that year began to appear
great and earnest attention to the Word
in many parts of the islands. The Spirit
had begun to come in power.
Active measures of special work were
taken throughout the mission during the
following months. As recorded by Dr.
Rufus Anderson, "The means employed
were those commonly used during times
of revival in the United States, such as
preaching, the prayers of the church, protracted meetings, and conversing with
individuals, or small companies. In the
protracted meetings, much time was
given to the plain preaching of revealed
truth, with prayer in the intervals. The
topics of discourse were such as these:
the gospel a savor of life or death; the
danger of delaying repentance ; the servant who knew his lord's will and did it
not; sinners not willing that Christ
should reign over them; halting between
two opinions; the balm of Gilead; the
sinner hardening iii.s neck; God not willing that any should perish. The topic
most insisted on. was the sin and danger
nf refusing an offered Savior."
The revival in Mr. Coan's field of Hilo
and Puna seems to have begun early in
1837. In his autobiography Mr Coan
writes: "During all the years of 1837-K,
Hilo was crowded with strangers; whole
families and whole villages in the country were left, with the exception if a few

experience of the
I do not recall witnessing any marked
demonstrations of outward emotion
among the hearers, although such often
appeared in some of the fields, especially
in those of Mr. Lyons and Mr. Coan on
I law-an. The general practice of the missionaries was to maintain order and repress what were looked upon as hysterical expressions of feeling. Mr. Coan records the following peculiar case: "A
young man came once into our meeting to
make sport slyly. Trying to make the
young men around him laugh during
prayer, he fell as senseless as a log upon
the ground and was carried out of the
house. It was some time before his consciousness could be restored. He became
sober, confessed his sins, and in due time
united with the church."
The ingathering of the great harvest
of converts into the church was productive of some remarkable experiences, due
to their extraordinary numbers. Although carefully sifted out from the unstable ones, their numbers often ran in a
single field, high into the hundreds, and
even into the thousands in the churches
of Mr. Coan at Hilo, and Mr. Lyons at
Waimea. One of the most remarkable
memories of my childhood, is that of a
wonderful communion service at Kwa
when my father baptized 4<x) new converts in the course of two hours.
These people had been accepted for
church membership after repeated and
careful examination, and a probation of
several months. The pastor had made
painstaking provision for their public
baptism, by organizing them into groups
of from ten to twelve each. The names
of those forming each group were written
together upon a separate piece of paper,
which was put in charge of a luna or
deacon. On the eventful Sabbath, about
6,000 people, an enormous crowd, were
1lacked under the great lanai. The 400
people to be baptized were arranged
around the desk, each group separate, sitting in the same order as the names on
the paper. As the pastor came to them,
each groUp knelt. The luna handed him
the paper. With a wet sponge he applied
water to each forehead in succession,
calling each name in order, thus: "Mark,
Dorcas, Zedekia, Tabitha, Moses." &c,
then pronouncing the formula "I baptize you all into the name of the bather,
and of the Son. and of the Holy Spirit."
By means of this expedient, the pastor
was enabled to administer baptism to 4(H)
persona in two hours. It would have
been impossible in the ordinary way to
have accomplished the service in the
limits of any reasonable time.
At Hilo, the problem was a much severer one. Mr. Coan thus described his
method. "The 1705 persons selected had
all been gathered at the station some time
before the day appointed for their reception. They had been divided into classes,
according to the villages whence they

one to pass between these lines. After
every name had been called, and every

former members of the church were
called in and seated on the opposite side
of the building, and the remaining space
given to as many as could he seated.

"The scene was one of solemn and tender interest, surpassing anything of the

bowed, and tears fell. All was hushed
except sobs and breathing."
This event took place on the first Sabbath in July, 1838. A farther cxplanarow

tion of the possibility of so sprinkling as
many as 1,705 persons is that it was

On a succeeding page of his autobiography, Mr. Coan records that during

I lamakua and Kohala.
In the memorial volume prepared by
Mrs. Lydia Bingham Coan, on page 223---_>->5, is a letter of Mr. Coan in which he
describes his own mental condition at
that period in the following remarkable
words:
"It is
only when the 'powers of the
world to come' rest upon us that we have
any power to win souls, or to draw sinners to a near view of the cross of Christ.
It is then that the Spirit makes intercession for us with gro.mings that cannot
be uttered.
"I often felt this same power while preparing for the ministry, and numbers,
both of adults and children, were drawn
to the Savior in meltings, in schools, and
in personal interviews.
"When I came to these Islands, and before I could use the Hawaiian language,
1 often felt as if I should burst with
strong desires to speak the Gospel to the
natives around me. And when my mouth
was opened to speak of the love of God
in Christ, I felt that the very chords of
my heart were wrapped around my hearers, and that some inward power was
helping me to draw them in, as the fisherman feels when drawing in his net filled
with fishes.
"In 1 b(■ s,■ ■ '. ys and years f never rose

rested upon me, and that 'Death and

the 'lire and hammer,' and the gleaming
battle-axe of Jehovah, ordained to conquer Satan and sin ; and that it is, in deed
and in truth 'the power of salvation' to
all who believe, whether speaker or
hearer.
"And the fruits of that faith were
abundant and marvelous. The masses of

"The generation of simple, believing,
and praying men and women in Hilo is
gone, and another generation that knows
not Joseph, has conic upon the stage."
I believe that what Mr. Coan thus noted of his own mental experience in
preaching, was also in a greater or less
degree the personal experience of his
missionary brethren*generally in all parts
of the group during the years of that
great revival. Some of them certainly
experienced 't in a very high degree.
Especial attention is due to his strong
consciousness at that time of a Divine
Power resting upon him while speaking
the word;
Also to be noted is his description of
the mighty outreaching of his heart in
loving desire towards his hearers, also of
the all conquering assurance possessing
him at such times of the irresistible, penetrating power of the Word upon the
souls of the hearers. These are pngnantlv significant expressions.
They are clearly in line with the lan
guage of Paul to his Thessalonian converts in I Tiiess. 1:5—"How that out
gospel came not unto you in word only,
but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost,
and in much assurance." .Also z:8 "Even
so being affectionately desirous of you,
we were well pleased to impart unto yon,
not
the gospel of God only, but also our
own souls, because ye were become very-
dear to us."
It is this Rower of the Holy Spirit,
resting upon his servants and tilling them
with a full assurance, and an all-conquering love, which we may well believe, is
in the coming years, more and more to
give the victory to the Gospel as it speeds
over the Rarth.
The Supernatural Essential to
Christianity.
It always used to be understood that
Christian believer involved the belief in miraculous signs and direct revelations from Cod. Such things constitute
an inseparable part of the Bible record
They form the leading part of the record of Christ's life as well as of all recorded Divine manifestations before' his
day. Those who denied Miracles and direct Revelation stood simply as unbelievers in Christ and his religion.. We used
to call them Infidels and Deists. ()f later
years, however, it has become the fashion
for such deniers to still claim a place a

\ow the writer is not disposed to
quarrel about a name. More, we believethat our Lord will own as his follower
and disciple one who has his spirit of love
and obedience to truth and right, how
ever astray in theory, while he will disown the person who is correct in opinion,
but hard or false and selfish in life. ( )ur
conformity to Jesus needs to be chiefly in
character and heart, rather than in intellectual belief. One best shows love to
the Lord and Master, by living like Him,
and cultivating that likeness. Undoubtedly there are many true and lovely
Christians, who are far astray in their
mental belief.
Yet correctness of belief is of vei\
high importance. It is a tremendous obstacle to our allegiance to Christ, if we
deny the record of his life, and of his
Resurrection from the dead. It is almost
incompatible with spiritual activity and
to hold the Bible record
of Revelation to be a compound of incredible legends and myths, as so many (not
all) of the Higher Critics would have
us do. It is an undeniable fact that a
majority of these Critics are governed in
their rejection of any part of Scripture as
being "unhistorical" by the rule or principle that every miracle is impossible.
Every such alleged record is therefore a
legend or myth, and not written by eyewitnesses.' Even the circumstantial story
of OUr Lord's Resurrection, which was
the supreme miracle, was only a legend.

Our dear friend, Stephen L. Desha,
who for the past fortnight or more has
been confined to his bed by an attack of
pleurisy, has suffered a sad loss in the
death of bis youngest child, Mary Kaakopua. She was a beautiful girl of eleven
years of age, who was loved by all her
teachers and schoolmates at Kawaiahao
Seminary, where she was a faithful and
talented pupil with an especial gift for
music.
Statistics of the Year—Book.
The statistics of the churches of the
Territory of Hawaii for the Congregational year-book have just been collected,
compiled and sent on to Rev. Mr. Asher
Anderson, of Mcriden, Conn., who is the
Secretary of the National Council of
Congregational Churches, and hence the
final compiler and publisher of its statisticse in the year-book which generally
appears during the second quarter of the
calendar year.
It is a very difficult matter to secure
accurate statistics from the I lawaiian
Churches. We believe it nevertheless to
be a valuable training along a line which
hitherto (before [901 ) has not been followed except by the local organizations.
The statistics of the annual report of
the Secretary of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association cover the church year,
reaching from June to June. The statistics of the year-book of the Congregational Council of American Churches,
cover the calendar year. Hence one set
of statistics is in a measure a check on
the other.
The following are some of the facts
collated from the statistics just collected.
()f the thirty-seven churches responding, all hut two have reported accessions
during the year, making a total accession
of 401 members, against a loss of 177.
This is a net gain for the past calendar
year of 224.
The statistics of twenty-four churches
which have sent in reports for the last
two years have been compared with
themselves, with the result of a total accession for these twenty-four churches
for the past year of 176, an increase over
the previous year of 71. The reports just
received are more complete than those of
the previous year and it is hoped that in
time they will reach a much greater com-
pleteness.

STATEMENT
i:v REV. I. oki'mika.
In publishing this semi-annual report of
the Japanese Boarding School, I must
thank all the friends who have assisted
the school with money and in other ways.
I thank Dr. S. Kobayashi and Dr. Iga
Mori who have attended many of our
sick children, and gave them medicine
free of charge. I wish to take this means
of making a short history of the school
and how it happened to be organized.
It was in the month of August of 1896
that at the request of a friend, I took a
boy to my house and began to take care
of him.
Shortly afterwards, two or three boys
were sent to me. At that time I had no
idea of starting a boarding school. Not
wishing to refuse my friends' requests, I
took charge of as many children as 1 was
able to do. In a short while I had lour or
five children. One of them was a child
of seven years, who was a very bad and
disobedient boy. Alter having been with
me for several months, he became quite
changed ftir the better to the surprise of
much for coming in contact with the salt his friends and neighbors. There was
water. Some one remarked that this was also a boy of nine years who was very
a good time for us to learn to "take the disobedient. When I reprimanded him
for his naughty actions he would become
spoiling of our goods joyfully."

VOL. LX
SALUTATORY
With the present issue Thk Friend
appears under the auspices of the Board
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and thus enters upon a new stage
in its history. Founded in 1843, while
California was still Mexican possession,
and before civilization had advanced beyond the Middle West, it has the distinction of being the oldest paper west of
the Rocky Mountains. Throughout its
history it lias been identified with the
forces and influence! that have worked
in the interests of Christian life and civilization in these islands. Its passing,
therefore, into the control of the Hawaiian Board is a natural movement in
the evolution of moral and religions life
here. It has been felt for some time by
certain members of the Board that a
newspaper of tbe right kind could be
made a strong factor in the extension of
Christian influences among our people,
but the means were not at hand for starting a new pajier. When, therefore, it
was learned a short time ago that the
Editor and the Publisher of Thk Friend
were willing to turn it over to the Board,
it was felt at once that the opportunity
to secure a paper of the right character
and prestige had come; the offer was accepted and a board of editors appointed
to carry it on.
Under the new management it will remain distinctively a religious paper. It
will be devoted to the presentation of
facts and discussion of questions that relate directly and indirectly to the social,
moral, and religious life of the Hawaiian
Islands. Tn this field it will find its realm
of service. So far as it may refer to
politics, it will aim to be non-partisan
and to discuss men and measures on
their merits alone. It will try to give a
full and frank discussion of temperance
issues, and will lend itself to the extent
of its power to the cultivation of temperance sentiment. In matters of religious belief it will endeavor to present
such facts and maintain such a spirit as
will be conducive to the upbuilding of
Christian faith and character. In its

veloped from within, not im]x>scd from
without. A glance at American history
shows this to have, been the way in the
United States. There is no evidence that
the real founders of the American nation
brought with them preconceived notions
of land division and ownership, or of the
management of labor. They came to escape evils that had become intolerable at
home,and their first concern was to provide the conditions for the development
of character. The church and the schoolhouse became tbe nurseries of American
life and liberty. To these were added
the habits of industry which were of necessity formed in the hard struggle with
natural surroundings. The present forms
and forces in which American life expresses itself are the fruit of the nation's
experience. This must be tb." course of
development here. To reverse the process and try to impose social and industrial conditions before the mental and
moral, qualities which sustain them are
developed is to invite failure.
President Roosevelt said, in his message to Congress, in reference to this
Territory : "We do not wish a region of
large estates tilled by cheap labor; we
wish a healthy American community of
men who themselves till the farms they
own." These words undoubtedly represent the ideal condition. The question is
how to get such a community. It must
in the main be made from such people
as we have, settled tip.ni such land as is
now available. Nine-tenths or more of
the people here are comprised of native
Hawaiians, Asiatics, and Portuguese.
Their children, who are to form the bulk
of our future population, are, in great
part, growing up without connection
with any kind of industrial life that is of
common interest to the whole family,
such as is the case with the farmer's
children in the United States. They go
to school, to be sure, but outside of
school hours they are for "tbe most part
idle and not forming habits of industry
and economy.
Ia resrpect to land for farms, it will
not do. for at least a long time to come,
to displace the sugar plantations.because
it is upon them that the present wealth
of the Islands depends. They are the
source of our material prosperity. The
means as well, for carrying on all benevolent and religious work is derived almost wholly and directly from them.

In addition to the land occupied by the
sugar plantations, we have other lauds,
included in small valleys, hillsides, and
broken tracts too small for cane cultivation, but suited to small holdings,
much of which could be made productive
with proper cultivation and irrigation.
There arc also still some large tracts not
yet thrown open to settlement.
Now it is from such young people as
have been mentioned, settled upon these
lands, that tbe "healthy .American community of men who themselves till the
farms they own" is to be formed. To

i- the problem.
effect
be
seen by
considering the difficulties in the way.
In the first place, these young people
are ignorant of all methods of agricultural operations except a few of tbe
the union ma) best
simplest. 'Then much of the land could
be made productive only by irrigation,
the cost of inaugurating which would be
too great for people of limited means. If
this difficulty were overcome, the crops
which easily grow here are perishable,
and in many cases would be far from
market, and rates of transportation are
high and would largely or wholly consume the profits.
It will readily be seen, therefore, that
to raise up "the healthy American community" of men tilling their own farms
is an undertaking of no small magnitude.
It is a desirable end, however, and it is
the duty of both the United States and
Territorial Governments to use all reasonable effort to attain it. This effort
would seem to lie along two or three related lines, the first of which would he a
system of agricultural schools supported
hv the government, on tracts of land
which could be developed by the labor
of the students while they were obtaining their instruction. The second would
he the development of irrigation facilities by the government, and third, the
continuance of experimental work such
as is now in operation, for ascertaining
what crops could be successfully grown
here in addition to the fruit and vegetables needed for home consumption, and
which would be of such a nature as to
the most reasonable terms, from the
tracts already partly or wholly developed by their own industry as students.
The process even then would be one of
natural selection and survival of the fittest. Only those who combined in themselves the necessary industry and skill
would succeed.
'The limits of this article do not admit
of further discussion, but enough has
been said to show that the problem of
developing this Territory along "traditional American lines," as President
Roosevelt puts it. lies right at this point.
If this should be found to be impracticable, then the test of Americanism will
come in ascertaining whether or not it
can be developed along untraditional
lines.
NEW BLOOD
The Hawaiian Islands arc facing the
question of what is to be the effect of
the new blood that has been injected into
the veins of their industrial and commcrmercial life. From the people brought
here as common laborers a new generation is rising which is certain to make itself felt for good or ill. Besides the class
mentioned, in another place, which needs
the benefit of the industrial school and
which is liable to be a menace and a burden if it is not furnished, there is another
class that is pressing on to places of
power and influence in the ranks of business. At present the greater part of this
class are the sons of Chinamen. Other
races are following on. This class is
bound to come to the front in the future.
They will be men with strong traits of
character, with reserve power of a high
order latent in them. Just now they are
anxious to receive the best we can give
them. What course towards them does
prudence as well as benevolence dictate?
The Jesuits ruled continental Europe
for a time because they had educated the
young princes a-d thus gained an influence over them. May we not take a lesson from this far-seeing order? Let us
have a Christian school in which high
ideals of life shall be maintained alongside of the best practical training, and
into which as many as possible of these
youth shall be gathered. These young
�THE FRIEND
men are to be the leaders of their people,
and in this way they would be brought
into sympathy and co-operation with the
best life of the years to come. These
words are not written in disparagement
of any school now in existence. There is
still room for a school of the kind mentioned. Once established it would be one
of the strongest influences for fostering
that type of Americanism that we desire
to cultivate, as well as a profitable investment for all who expect to leave large
possessions in these Islands to their children.

DR. C. D. TENNEY
On March 12th, there passed through
Honolulu, on the steamship Peru, en
route to China, another of the many peo
pie who played an important part in that
country during the Boxer troubles of
two years ago. This was the Rev. Dr.
C. D. Tenney, who was President of
the University of Tientsin previous to
the Boxer uprising. When Tientsin was
taken by the allied forces and many of
the people had fled from the city, a provisional government was etstablished by
the foreign authorities in control. Of
year, a special work of grace has been
going on in all parts of Japan in connection with the many special evangelistic
services. This has been a concerted in-
ter-denominational campaign, celebrating"
the first year of the twentieth centuryHundreds of individuals have been converted, and many thousands have determined to study Christianity. We have
bad two series of snecial meetings here
in Matsuvama,. with excellent results,
and two or three remarkable conversions.
"Pastor Ninomiya has been absent
during the current year to heln the work
in other places. Our independent church
here has accordingly asked me to serve
as 'acting pastor' in his absence. This
has required of me a large amount of
preaching, and has given me rare opportunities both for personal work and for
directing the work of the church. We
have had twenty additions to the church
in the past six months, and we have on
the list of inquirers and candidates some
forty more. We have recently begun
work in a new part of the city, which at
present is exceedingly promising.

THE MEETING OF THE HAWAII
ASSOCIATION
On the sth of March the Hawaii
Association met at Kailua for the first
time in many years. Fifteen of the seventeen churches in the Association
were represented either by pastor or
delegate, or both- Beginning on Thursday, tbe meetings of the Association
were continued over the week and were
closed Monday noon, when the Sunday
School Association began its session.
'The chief interest centered in the exercise of the workers' institute, which
is under the patronage of the Association and which had very nearly an allday session on Saturday. There are
twenty lay brethren associated with this
institute.
Mr. Emerson held a forty-five-niinute
session of the class for the study of
sermon briefs made on the text: "I am
the Door," John 10:9. Mr. Kamoku
catechised the class on points in theology ; Mr. Kalaiwaa, on church government ; Mr. Kealoba. on church history;
and Mr. Timoteo, on evangelistic work.
It is a hopeful feature that so great
interest was shown in these studies. So
far as our experience goes ot the work
on Hawaii, there has never, during the
past thirteen years, been such interest
in lav-work as thrre 's now. These lay
brethren are beginning to feel that they
cannot wait the slow movements of
some of their pastors. Some ol them
arc intelligent men and arc capable ot
doing good work. But lor them, the
churches would be badly handicapped
Irom lack ot proper leadership. Hence
il is important that they should receive
training along lines of religious work.
This is the aim of the institute founded
by the Association. It is hoped that
among the lay workers there may be
found proper candidates lor the North

The friends of Dr. Hiram Bingham

nearly ready to make another valuable
contribution to the already long list of
benefits which he and Mrs. Bingham
have rendered to the the people of the

of the Commentary on the New Testament, on which he has labored for nearly

As many know. Dr. Bingham translated
the whole of the Bible into the Gilbertese
language. 'This Commentary will be a
fitting and valuable supplement to his
former work. Dr. and Mrs. Bingham's
works arc available for use among the
}o,o(x> people inhabiting the eighteen islands of the Gilbert group. 'This first

COMPLETENESS IN CHRIST
Paul's statement in Col. ii., 10, "Ye
are complete in him," or, as the Revised
Version has it, "In him ye are made
full," lets us into one of life's deepest
secrets. Ponce dc Leon went in quest of
the fountain of perpetual youth. He
sought for that which would restore a'
wasting body to the period of immaturity and inexperience. Paul shows us how
an immortal spirit maj go on without
deterioration to the richest plentitude of
power and blessing. To get the meaning of his words, we need to remember
that Christ is a person, and that in him
tbs attributes of personality, intellect,
sensibility, and will, the capacity for all
Spiritual excellence, are seen .in their
highest perfection. Sympathy and tenderness in their purest forms V<J blended
into perfect harmony with strength and
self-command.
Now the significance of Paul's wordi
lies in the fact that we too are persons,
and that the attributes of personality
which arc seen in Christ in all their
rounded completeness belong also to us,
only in an undeveloped degree. The end
to which they are adapted, and the goal
toward which they would ever lead u- is
the completed form in which they appear iv Christ. Just as the glory of
flower and fruitage i- potential in the
seed and i- the end toward which the
force- of development arc ever pressing
the plant forward, so fulness of personality and character as found in Christ
is the end toward which our own imperfect faculties were meant ti grow;
so that having attained to his hkvntss,
we should be complete.
Bui stranger than the fact mat we
have the capacity to grow into his likeness, is the fact that he can come into
our lives, and, as it were, take possession of our personality and help us to
perfect his own image in ourselves. Under his divine uplifting we are quickened
into a new life incomprehensible to one
who has not felt its power. When Christ
becomes the indwelling Savior, the personal powers are wonderfully stimulated.
The intellect lays hold of spiritual truth
with a vigor and readiness of assimilation unknown before: a calmness and
peace of soul conies over us which we
may believe to be akin to that in himself thought is to employ several more, paywhen for the joy that was set before him ing each what he is worth.

sult of their own labor.
Among the Young People
Sunday evening, March 16, a very interesting missionary meeting was held
at Central Union C. E. Society, the subject being "Beginnings of Missions."
The leader, Mr. E. L. Collins, began with
the missionary expeditions of Bible
times, carried his hearers through the
changes of the centuries following,
speaking of the founding of the Moravian Mission, then of the work in England and America. This Society has a
good Missionary Library.
Saturday night is the great night of
the clvb—although from fifty to one hundred hoys can be seen there almost any
night. After the boys have punched the
bag for awhile, and played on the ladder
and horizontal bars, comes the weekly
lantern slide exhibition. Tables where
boys arc playing games and reading are
moved one side, and the electric lantern,
already in place and focussed, throws
the beautiful pictures on the screen. The
subjects are taken from foreign travel,
lives of heroes, and Old Testament
scenes. Several ladies have been there
to explain tbe pictures. Mrs. Richards
has had one night on the Rhine, and
Mrs. W. C. Rogers will give several
illustrated talks on London, on which
city she is well versed.
Thus there has been planned many
Saturday nights ahead, interesting and
instructive talks, to which the boys listen
most politely and attentively. After their
half hour of quiet they relieve the pressure by having a street parade with
drums and banners, coming back again
for more games, until they have actually
to be turned out at half past nine.
Old Kawaiahao has
made treme n d o us
strides of late. In the
first place, visiting committees have
scoured the neighborhood and invited
people, especially children, to attend;
secondly, and perhaps more important,
an attempt has been made to give them
something worth coming for. An order
of exercises has been printed in Hawaiian, with responsive and other parts for
the whole school, and the singing of new
songs from the "Lea Hoonani" has been
introduced. The Hawaiians love to get

"Seldom can such a blesed tribute be
laid upon the last resting-place of anyone.
"For many .years our old Colonial
home had beneath its roof four generations.
"The great-grand-mother, Mrs. Tomlimon, formerly Mrs. Holman the missionary, her daughter and grandmother
of my children, Mrs. Hiram B. Noble,
and my wife, only daughter of Mrs.
Noble.
"Shortly before the great-grandmother's death, June 20, 1886, my youngest
daughter, then a child, was leading her
by the hand, she being totally- blind,
when she loked Up into her sightless
eyes and asked this remarkable question, 'Grandma, what comes after the
oldness?' "
From a very pleasant letter from Mr-.
Emily R. Dc la Yergne, dated Los
Angeles, Nov. 20, 1001, we quote a few
lines. "I rarely hear from Honolulu
directly, though I take the Gazette and
the Friend.
The latter gives me
more news that I really want to know
than I hear in any other way. Last
Wednesday, the thirteenth of this
month, we had a little grand-daughter
born in Colorado Springs and when she
gets a name I shall make her a member
of the Cousin's Society. My son and
wife! Mr. and Mrs. Paul F. Dc la
Yergne) are very happy over this event,
and we all are.
"You no doubt have heard of Mother Rowell's blessed release. I saw her
a number of times this summer, but it
was hard for her to speak, and she had
become blind, and perfectly helpless,
but so tenderly cared for by her daughter M. It was beautiful to see her devotion."
Dr. Albert B. Clark, who has been
from the Islands for thirty-two
years, has lately returned with his wife
and son to his native land. Two daughters are married and settled in Hilo.
Dr. Clark has opened an office in Honolulu and will remain here in the practice of his profession of dentistry.

THE FRIEND
Y. W. C. A.
Twice only in the history of our Association has death entered our ranks.
Miss Rowena Jehu was the first to be
called home, and almost as suddenly
came the summons to Mrs. John E. Evans, on March i ith. Mrs. Evans was
an active and efficient worker in the Association, and her loving sympathy and
cheery ways endeared her to all. Only
a short time ago she came into the rooms
to talk over getting a comfortable bed for
an invalid lady. It is pleasant to remember that her last Association work
was one so loving and so thoughtful for
the comfort of another.
Sorrow has come to one of our members. Miss A. Alice Allen, in the sudden
death of her father in Los Angeles, Cal.
She is assured of the loving sympathy of
the Association members in her loss.
Miss C. Frances Gribble was married
to Mr. John C. Coburn at Emeryville,
Cal., March ist. The wedding was a
pretty one, green and white being the
color scheme. After a bridal trip they
will reside in Emeryville, where Mr. Coburn is a practicing lawyer, also serving
as postmaster. We regret losing so amiable and active a member of our Association as Miss Cribble, but we feel sure
that she will carry the sunny smiles
which have endeared her to us all, into
the new home, and we wish for her all
joy and happiness in the new home life.
Miss Emilie Schoor was the recipient
of a dainty little pin on her birthday,
March 13th, from the Membership Committee, of which she is the chairman.
She deservedly holds a warm place in
the hearts of all, and her faithful worK
is appreciated by the entire Association.
Pleasant letters have been received
from a number of our absent members.
Miss Eleanor Phillips reports a delightful visit with home friends and a continual round of good times. Miss Ernestine Coughran is hard at work in
Butte. Montana, after a delightful trip
to Chicago. Buffalo and New York.

Association to bold the next meeting
in 11 ilo. When the time came this was
done, and it was a good meeting. At
that meeting it was voted to hold the
next one in Lahah.a. This seems to indicate a tendency to depart from the
former practice of holding these annual meetings in Honolulu. Already
we see the beginning of difficulty. Thcdatt of the meeting this year has been
postponed one month for reasons having no connection with the work of the
churches. Again, as Secretary F.tnerson
mentions in another place, the churches
of Maui are being drained for money
to meet: the expense of elaborate enter
tainment, and the consequence will be
that they will not be able, in addition, to
meet their legitimate obligations to pastors and other church duties. It is time
already to consider whether we arc following a helpful course in this change

A merely intellectual

Gospel will not save lost men. and the
magnifying of the intellectual side to
the neglect of that presentation which
reaches the heart and rouses conscience, is, we believe, one element to
be considered in explaining the infrequency of revivals.
Another factor which always works
to the same end. has in the present in
stance been greatly stimulated by the
results of the rigid investigation to
which religious beliefs have lately been
subjected, and that is, a subtle insincerity in human nature. We would
not reflect upon any honest seeker after truth, but it is still a fact, that there
is nothing that the natural man dislikes
to face so much as personal responsi
bility. To many such the overthrow of
old beliefs has been, consciously or unconsciously, hailed as a deliverance
front the pressure of uncomfortable
obligations, and refuge from the plain
dictates of duty is taken behind some
scientific theory or some dictum of dc
Structive criticism, apparently forgetful
of the fact that however moral obliga
tions may be explained, they still con
tintie to exist.
How superficial, however, and how

may be seen by a very simple test.
In a room full of people whose hearts
have been touched by the Holy Spirit,
and who have been brought to fact
their personal responsibilities, no reference to the New Evangelism is heard.
With such people it is the old question
of the Philippian jailor. "What must T
do to be saveVl?" or of the Hebrew
prophet, "Wherewith shall T come before the Lord and bow myself before
the high Cod?" Tt is the first work of
the Spirit to convict the world of sin.
of righteousness, antl of judgment. It
is the first duty of men to act under
this convictiotl, and such action will
bring the practical and intellectual
sides of the Gospel into their right relations, for "he that will do his will
shall know of the doctrine."
Would it not seem to be true that
the present infrequency of revivals is
due to causes which, tinder the circumstances, are wholly natural and which
will be removed in due time? The
progress of the kingdom of God is not
by steady movement. There are often
long periods of preparation for swift
advance. Are we not now in one of
those periods? A broader and deeper

the power of the Holy Spirit, shall call

after all, a secondary consideration;
and when the truth shall be faithfully
applied to men's consciences as the
power to set them free from sin's
thralldom, may we not expect that revivals will again occur, and with even
greater power?

pleasure at meeting so many whose
names were familiar, hut whose faces
he had not seen in these fifty-five years
of his long absence from his loved na-
tive islands.

f OUr workers should be most useful. It will show a great many things. First, it
will show why the Board of the HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASS'N is in debt
to the amount of $10,000 and over. Then it will show, too, how much this community is in debt
to the Hoard,—which easily suggests from among whom this debt shall be raised. As to the "hoiv,"—is
another matter. Some suggestion, however,will appear, from the way these workers are distributed, as to
where the burden of their support should lie.

FROM DR. SCUDDER
Tokyo. April 28. 1902.
The past month has witnessed nothing
very startling in any sphere of life here

like this which is always so thoroughly
alive. The usual throng n f foreign visitors attracted by the well-earned reputation of the national spring flower.
the cherry. has crow-del the hotels to
overflowing. N"o one has come too far,
for Tokyo has been resplendent from end
pi _nd.
Year by year the city spends
more and more pains in adding to itmiles of cherry lined avenues with the
result already obtained of rare success
in transforming itself into a .wondrous
garden of flowering loveliness four weeks
in the spring of each year. It has leemed tn us we never saw anything quite
so beautiful before. Tin- chern blossoms
are now giving way to the azaleas which
in time will yield to the peonies and these
will be followed by the delicate wistaria
with their trailing clusters six feet and
more in length.
The Doshisha Trustees having unanimously elected lion. K. Kataoka to th.
presidency are rejoicing in many evidences of popular approval and growing
confidence. < >ver one hundred new stu
dents m the boys and girls departments
registered since the close of the winter
term tell the store of the new era realh
begun. Everywhere the friends of the
College are rallying about it with enthusiasm and the missionary contingent
which has seen the inst tution through
its dark days are radiant with joy.
Two important religious conventions
have helped make this month memorable. The I .omcikwai or Evangelical Alliance convened in Tokyo this year. It
was noticeable that the leading Kumiai

has been pushing his unitarian views so
persistently to the front and challenging
controversy so ardently that the great
bode of Christian believers, who are very
loyal to Christ as the God-man, felt that
so far as the Evangelical Alliance was
concerned there must be sonic definition
of the doctrinal basis of cooperation. Th.
issue was fairly tried in the annual meeting, a declaratory statement defining the
meaning of Evangelical so far as the
divinity of Christ is concerned was adopted by a large majority and a representative committee was charged with the
responsibility of considering the ipiestion of a corresponding change in the
constitution of the Alliance. Not a few
Congregational pastors deprecate this action holding that the cooperation of men
like Mr. l'.hina should he welcomed in
every religious movement, even in the
campaign of evangelization opened so
auspiciously last spring and about lob
pursued enthusiastically this year also.
But others, prominent among whom Key.
11. Kozaki is said to be, approve the action as tending towards harmony in the
elimination of a matter of contention.
Mr. Ebina like many men of oratorical
temperament seems to stand on both sides
of the evangelical fence, his early training and religious experience apparently
getting the upper hand at times and
leading him to preach a warm tender
sermon full of the spirit of Christ while
on other occasions the sprite of controversy gains the ascendancy and his crass
radicalism causes great pain. His pulpit power gives him a large following
especially among tbe young and it is
reported that the style of convert he
makes is apt to catch the shibboleth of
bis controversial moments and miss tinessential of a personal relation with Jesus
Christ. However that may he it is impossible to avert some sort of a division
here along the line of a vital faith in
fesus Christ as personal Redeemer anil
Master.

address in which he dwelt briefly on the

Hoard's work and their present magnitude. Mr. Atherton gave it as his opinion that it was poor financial policy t>

the debt of the Hoard was at that time

past Scylla, is itself in danger of falling
into Charybdis, To raise the cry of <>1«1-fogvisin and illibcralitv is the cheap and
easy method which is often employed in
dealing with such subjects when it is not
desirable to discuss them on their mer
its. It is quite liable to be only the shout
of the multitude to call attention away
froni disagreeable facts. The truth of
the matter is the world has little or li"
concern in what Christian people think.
It is concerned solely in how they act.
When Christian people take high moral
ground and live up to it. the world is
put to shame, because its actions
in comparison. Bui as it does not choose
to bring its actions up to the higher
standard or to acknowledge any deficiency in character, it attempts to cover
its position and to bring the Christian to
its own level, by accusing him of being
behind the times. The cry is somewhat
disconcerting, but it is a fundamental
mistake to be greatly influenced by it.
Liberality, when it means a generous attitude toward the truth or an unprejudiced disposition toward other men's
opinions, is a desirable and worthy trait
in human nature; but when it means a
lowering of the moral standards and the
indulgence in questionable courses of
action, and this is what it does mean in
common worldly parlance, it is a sign of
weakness and not a virtue. The Christian does well, therefore, not to be driven
from his moral position by any such false
alarm.
As -in illustration of what was said in
our former article and as showing how
short a step it often is from the highest
to the lowest in worldly amusements, it
may be noted that the very nest performance, in the same place, following those of
the actor who was said to stand for all
that was best in the dramatic art. was a
thinly disguised prize-fight. What we
contended for before, and still maintain,
is that the Christian who values his spiritual life and influence will let all these
things alone.

the most intensely American of all our

the thought of every true American? It

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
In giving a resume of the expenses for
thirteen months, ending June 30th, the
treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association feels that there are some very
hopeful features to offset the increased
debt. It will he readily recognized tjiat
this lias been the most trying year in die
business of the Islands for many years
Notwithstanding, however, that
the expenses have been increased nearly
$io,(xxi for this year, the debt has not increased more than $t>,(x>o, showing an
increased income of nearly $1 1,000. Another hopeful statement in regard to the
outlook for another year is that a reduction of about $io,(xx> has already been
effected in the expenses of the Hoard, so
that under favorable business conditions,
we should very much decrease the debt
by another year.

DR. AMENT'S WORK IN PEKING
The American Bible Society has received a report from its agent in Peking,
F. Gammon, in which he refers

w.diam S. Anient, 1). D„ whom Mark
Twain and others severely criticised during the Boxer troubles of 1900:
Brles

FRIKNI)
Bible Society work has been immediately and surprisingly prosperous. This
has been due almost wholly to the interest, sympathy and aid of the American
Hoard missionaries, who have
supervised
the distribution of our books during my
absence from the field. I desire especially to mention the benefits we have derived from the efforts of Dr. W. S.
Anient, who, although already overburdened with a thousand cares, yet
found time to look after the interests of
those of our men who escaped death and
returned destitute to Peking. Through
his untiring efforts, too, our books were
distributed over the disturbed region,
while it was still in a chaotic state, and at
a time when his great personal bravery
and intense love for tile Chinese led him
safely over a field beset with dangers.
Xor has bis interest been confined to this
period. Much of such success as I have
enjoyed in directing this important work
has been made possible by the advice and
unselfish aid Dr. .Anient has given me,
and OUT colporteurs have been spiritually
strengthened and better equipped by his
teachings. I may he excusable, therefore,
for speaking of the impression Dr. Anient
has left among the people of North China,
as a contrast to what was so unjustly and
untruthfully said of him last year.
Briefly, then, I found only a widespread and very general feeling of deep
gratitude to Dr. Anient in every city and
town I have visited. Almost always the
first question that came from the officials
or from the people was, "Do you know
Dr. Anient?" and an affirmative replywas sure to bring forth talcs of the good
he bad done; how he had traveled utiles
to save this family or that individual;
how he had stood between soldier and
the people; how he had settled peaceably
and justly the differences of whole districts; how the destitute met with bis
bounty; how helpless women and children received his protection; how the
sick were cared for; how, in fact, ten
thousand things were done that seemed
beyond tlie ability of any one man. What
a contrast, this unanimous testimony of
the Chinese, to the twisted reports that
were published, and to sonic extent believed by the people at home. To the
work of Dr. Anient, more than to that of
any other, is due the kindly reception we
meet with on this field, and the ease with
which our work is prosecuted. The thanks
of the Bible Society are due to Dr.
Anient for the untold good he has done
our work; and these thanks are likewise
due to the other members of the American Board Mission in Tien Tata and
Peking for aiding and continuing our
work during such a period of difficulty.—

LETTER FROM DR. C. F. RIFE
Kusaie, Caroline I sis., Mar. 28, 1902.
Dear Dr. Bingham:
It is now almost a year since we saw
you, and is but a few days until we shall
Ik- expecting our steamer. I say "our"
steamer. We have no special interest in
it, except that it brings us mail much
more frequently than we were in the habit
of having it. She makes three trips from
Sydney to Hongkong and back each year,
making six stops here. I do not know
whether there will be any mail for us this
time, as it is her first trip from Hongkong, but we shall probably get some outside news. We are all wondering very
much what the Hoard has in store for
us in the way of a surprise this year.
Whatever comes, it will be unexpected to
us, for we never know what to expect.
You will have heard of the condition of
the Carrie and Annie, and that it was
necessary to send her home at the end
of the Marshall tour. We wanted very
much t<> have her go to the Gilberts, but
■
it was out of the
question.
Mrs. Rife and the little ones remained
at Kusaie, and cared for the boys who
remained It was very hard for me to be
so long from them, almost three months.
I feel that our work is rather monotonous,
am' it is essential that we all have the
change of the trips, both missionaries and
pupils.
VVe found the work in better condition
than I expected, considering the fact that
the touring had been so imperfectly done
the past few years. I visited two islands
for the first time since the teachers were
landed, and found the people taking hold
in a very encouraging way. The work
has a very good outlook at Nauru. They
have received but 25 into the church, but
there are a number of applicants. When
we landed the missionaries, the
1500 people could not have gotten fifteen suits of
clothes together. Hut when we were
there, 1 spoke to about 500 <>r 600 people,
and I think there were not more than a
dozen who were not quite decently clothed. Mr. Delaporte is much in need of a
printing press to prepare a literature for
the people. We have an old press here
which was used in Ebon, and will give it
to them when we can get some type to
accompany it. We have a good power
press now, and hope to do considerable
work with it. I am just getting out the
first number of a paper for the Marshall
Islanders, and will try to remember to
enclose you a copy. I hope to he able to
get out a physiology during the year, if

This year will be the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the landing of the first mission-
aries here and at Ponape. I have suggested to the Knsaians that it would Inappropriate to have a meeting to commemorate the occasion.
My large dog and the chickens are doing well, but the bees have all died. I
think 1 shall have to give up the notion
of introducing bees. It seems to be too
wet for them.
We enjoyed a visit from Mr. Gray last
week. He engaged passage on one of the
vessels of the Germans in order to visit
some of his islands, and as they came
here, be had two days with us. The poor
man is having a very hard time, or rather
what seems to us missionaries, a hard
time. I suppose it is of little consequence
when compared to what you and Mrs.
Bingham had to endure. They have been
at Ponape over a year, and the lumber
for their house has only recently come.
When it arrived it was landed at a placeeight or ten miles from where they wish
to use it, and so now they do not know
how or when they will have it to go to
work at building. They had a number
of boys with them who gave promise of
being faithful, and wrote encouraging
letters home, hut before they reached
their destination, the boys had gone
wrong in a single night. He says that it
is very hard for him to get natives to
work "for him. It seems strange that as
they were asking constantly for missionaries while they were not allowed to land,
now that they have them, they are no
more grateful.
Mrs. Rife unites with me in wishing

THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION
Coming by way of Sydney there was
received a month ago, a file of letters
from Rev: Ph. A. Delaporte, of dates
February ist to March 22, which were
full of interest to the friends and contributors of Pleasant Island Mission, and
which give a most vivid insight into the
condition of that isolated and unique little
missionary field.
From Mr. Delaporte's letters which
were addressed to Rev. O. H. Gulick the
treasurer of the Mission, we give the following extracts:

bill was carried only by patient persistence. Query, Why is it that the saloon

The Ohio bill as passed will be known
as the Beat Municipal Local Option Law.
It went into effect April 3, 1902. It will
be worth while to notice its salient points,

Provision is made for refunding taxes

time for which taxes have been paid falls

Forms for entry of results of the special
election, arc prepared for filing by the
clerk of the municipality. A new election may be petitioned for any time after
two years from the date of the last vote.
Any person may contest the validity of
an election, but must furnish sufficient

There is but one source of life. God
is working in the growth of the grasses
just as really as in the growth into holiness of the new-born soul. Says Professor liasconi, "The activities of nature
are the immediate product of the Divine
Mind. The world is a perpetual creation,
momentarily suffused with divine thought
and feeling." So the l'saliuist teaches.
"Thou inakest the outgoing of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visitest
the earth and waterest it: thou greatly
enriches! it with the river of God which is
full of water: thou preparest them com,
when thou bast so provided for it. Thou
waterest the ridges thereof abundantly ;
thou settlest the furrows thereof; thou
inakest it soft with showers, thou hlessest
the springing thereof." In the world of
matter and in the world of mind, God
only is the source of life.
Are we then like the grasses in the
hands of God? Is the Christian life "the
immediate product of the Divine Mind,"
and nothing more? Then we may leave
ourselves in the divine hands with no
thought about duty and no fear about our
destiny. For consider the lilies, into
what beauty they grow. And they take
no thought. Then why we, if the Christian life has the same divine source? And
it has. "In Him we live, and move, and
have our being;" our whole being, body
and soul; the life that pulses in blood and
brain, and the life that exults in thought,
and feeling, and will, and love. We get
the Christian life by being born from
above. And we keep the Christian life
by the same divine inworkirtff. "I live."
says I'aid : "Yet not I, but Christ liveth
in'nie." There is no spiritual life that is
not of God. Then why not just tie in his
hands as jxissive as the lilies? Simply
because we are not lilies. We have another kind of life. And every kind of
being has its own law of development

human nature is not passive. It thinks,
it feels, it wills, it loves. So, even in
God's hands, it cannot be fashioned into
beauty like the lilies. It must work with
God, just as it is written, Work out your
own salvation for it is God that worketh
in you. So it was no contradiction for
Paid to say, "It is not I that live, but
Christ liveth in me," and right afterward
to say, "1 live by faith." By the verynature of the Christian life it must be the
product of these two forces, the divine
inworking and the soul yielding in trust
and love.
And here is another difference between
God's working in the lilies and his working in the soul. The immanence of God
in nature issues in acts of wisdom and
Dower, but, in the human heart, besides
all these, in acts of redeeming love. The
lilies do not need transforming. But "except a man be bom again, lie cannot see
the Kingdom of God. A new life given
and accepted. This is the transcendent
thing in all this matter of the Christian
life, that it is another life, a life of love.
Its source is in the divine love, and its
essence is the heart's answering love. And
this again is why we cannot lie in < 'mil's
bands as passive as the lilies, and expect
to be transformed into the divine likeness
and titled for heaven's blessedness, because love is the very essence of the
divine likeness and the condition of all
heaven's blessedness.

VACATIONS AT HOME
School is out, as the long list of closing
exercises during the past fortnight amply
testifies, and thousands of our Island
children are in the first enthusiasm of
long vacation. The days of June, the
first because of their extreme sultriness,
and the last because of their perfect combination of bright skies and cool trade
winds, have made the older folk wish
their books also might "close over" and
all their "lessons" be "said."
Many will go away to the other islands
or to "the coast" for trips short or long,
but many of our people must stay at
home. What, then, can be done by the
stayers-at-home to make the summer
time a season of vacation?
Change brings rest. Can we not, then,
make some changes in our way of living,
find some unnecessaries that may be
dropped to make way for more profitable
substitutes?
Perhaps housekeeping can he made a
little simpler. Taking down curtains and
putting away bric-a-brac offers less room
for dust and more room for breathing,
and an abundance of green leaves (always available whether ferns and palms
are or are not I may lend a grateful sense
of the woods and make the household
gods more welcome on their reappearance,
bruits instead of made deserts,
plenty of cool drinks, and meals served
informally on the veranda (even if it is
all to small to he called a lanai) have an
appropriateness to the season.
Surely let us not make formal calls or
feel that society has demands on us, hut
let us seek every opportunity to run away
to Waikiki or Tantalus or one of the
many valleys even at the cost of some ex-
ertion to reach them. Walking is not so
prostrating as the weariness of bodily inactivity.
A supper may be carried to Makce
Island or some neighboring spot on the
beach, or up Pacific Heights or Manoa
Valley, by those who are in business all
day, and such an excursion gives a holiday feeling even though the time for indulgence is short.
After all it is the spirit that is essential
to the holiday season. Most of us are always busy—at least have our time fully
occupied. We wish it to be so, but if we
can do away with the feeling of hurry,
can eliminate the unnecessary, can choose
what is most worth while, we shall cultivate a sense of repose.
Let us this coming month "spend as
much time as" we "can with body and
with spirit in God's out of doors" and
thus, even at home, find for ourselves a
good vacation.

June and the second is just from the
press. It is under the same general management as Tin: Kkiknii, Rev. O. 11.

L. K. Kakani his assistant. The purpose
of the editors in starting the I loaloha is
to furnish the 1 lawaiians with a paper
which shall give the current news of the
churches and other religious bodies as
also short stories and other matter of general interest. The most prominent
feature of the new paper will be the Sunday School lessons. At the meeting of
the Sunday School Association which
meets at Lahaina at the close of the meeting of the Evangelical Association, it will
be decided whether the 1 loaloha will headopted as the Sunday School paper Or
whether the Association will continue to
publish the Hoahana, the present Sunday
School quarterly. Judging from the way
the new paper is being subscribed for the
prospects would seem to be good for us

EDITORIAL AND GENERAL
We extend a hearty welcome to Rev
and Mrs. Kozaki.
The teachers of government schools
and workers in the various departments
of missionary work on the other islands
are much in evidence in Honolulu just
now. Some are here for rest, some for
the Summer School.
The statement made in the Advertiser
a few da\s ago to the effect that the Mills
Institute and Kawaiahao Seminary were
to be combined is without foundation.
There has been some discussion of the
of concentrating the educational
work of the Hawaiian P.oard, but no
steps have as yet been taken to that end.
subject
The coming of Rev. Mr. Kozaki and
bis wife will doubtless be a moans of
greatly stimulating the Japanese work.
The conference of pastors and evangelists
to be held in Honolulu next week should
be a good beginning for the visits to the
different parts of the field that will naturally follow. We advise all who see the
present issue of The FRIEND to read what

and Mrs. Kozaki.

We are confident that a wide opportunity for good work is now open to this
new publication, which is a companion
paper of The Friend.
Sometime ago the Hawaiian Board passed a
vote expressing regret that this once
prominent native minister had been installed pastor of the Wainee church at
Lahaina. At the last meeting of the
Board, held July 18th, it was voted that a
statement of its former action be published in The Friend and the Hoaloha.
The facts leading to this action are, briefly, these: A few years ago Mr. Kapu
was temporarily suspended from the
ministery by the Maui Association for
conduct of a flagrantly immoral character. Two years or more ago the same
Association, on confession of his fault,
restored him to his former standing. He
has not held any pastoral charge, however, in the meantime, and the Board has
on one former occasion declined to assist
him when it was proposed to again appoint him to work. Its present action is
based on the belief that Mr. Kapu should
find a field of usefulness in some other
relation than that of the pastorate. The
case was referred to the Maui Association.

its members and of the native people
throughout the city, and with such a
sum of money at its disposal, it will be
able to carry out any plan that may be
decided upon. The church is to be congratulated upon this fortunate circumstance. The problem before it moreover,
is not a difficult one, although it contains
several elements. In the first place the
membership of the church is quite widely
scattered since the fire, and the Hawaiians are averse to traveling long distances
to church. Then again there is the tendency of the Hawaiians to more and more
come to Honolulu to live, showing that
here is to be the place of greatest opportunity for helping them with the Gospel.
These facts would indicate that the
church that is in a condition to exert a
continuous and widely extended influence
will be the church of power in the future.
Kaumakapili just now holds the key to
the situation. This would seem to consist in having several well sustained centres of influence instead of one. For instance let the present neat and inexpensive chapel at Palama be moved from its
present secluded location out on one of
the lots now held by the trustees, on King
street, and made into a pastor's house.
Then on the main lot eroct a neat and inexpensive rfiurcli. Let a modest chapel
be built up Nuuanti Valley in the neighborhood of the little chapel at Waikahalulu, and the chapels in Pauoa Valley and
Maemae be repaired, and a basis of operations would be established in a number
of important centres. Then let two or
three pood native ministers be employed
to work these fields and hold services in
the chapels. The advantages of such a
method would be that the influence of the
church would be exerted where the people
are and there would be from $30,000 to
$35,000 of the money left to invest, to aid
in supporting the pastors and in carrying
on the work. On the other hand if the
whole sum of money awarded by the
Court of Fire Claims should be expended
in putting up a single large building, a
much smaller number of the people would
be reached and the burden of maintaining
the work would fall entirely upon this
comparative few, and much of the money
would be spent in keeping up a costly
building instead of extending the work of
the Gospel. We hope our Kaumakapili
brethren will see their opportunity.

There is £0 much to say, which needs to
be wisely and calmly said, that only the
urgency of the case would lead to the discussion at all. There is one fact, however, that lioth the testimony of those in
the best position to know, and the nature
of the situation as seen in the bare statement of it, would seem to place beyond a
reasonable doubt, and that is that the 1 lawaiian people are being sacrificed to appease the greed of the liquor sellers. In

gods. We recoil with horror from the
thought, and are thankful for the coming
of a religion which was able to deliver
them from such a practice. And yet
under the so-called protection, and as a
part of the very people who gave them
this religion, they are permitted to be immolated before a Moloch whose rapacity
exceeds '.bat of any demon a superstitious
people ever imagined. At the meeting of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at
Lahaina, one of the most prominent of
the native pastors, after relating what he
saw passing under his own eyes, said to
the writer, "It makes me feel sorry, for I
know that in twenty or twenty-five years
there will be no more Hawaiian people."
There will, of course, be difference of
opinion as to the length of time needed to
complete the destruction, but this is an irrelevant matter. The fact remains that
the destruction is going on. It is not a
matter either of who is to blame, or what
view one may lake theoretically or otherwise ot the method of licensing now- in
vogue. It is aside from the' question also
to discuss what the people themselves may
desire or whether there may not be other
causes working to the same end ; the hard
fact still remains that the Hawaiian people are being made the victims of a business that gives nothing of value in return
for what it takes, and that makes its gain
from the' lower appetites and desires of
men and women. Testimony to the' evil
being wrought by the increased indulg
ence in intoxicating drink came' to hand
previous to the Lahaina meeting in the
reports of tln- superintendents of the I la
waiian Hoard's work in the different
islands. None of the' writers of c urse
knew that the others would mention the
subject. This testimony is valuable be
cause spontaneous and unsought and it
shows bow wtclelv extended the evil is
and how uniformly it is working to one
end wherever it is. This testimony was
fully corroborated by the pastors and delegates-to the churches.' The result was
the passing of the resolution to be sent to
the Governor, which is given on enir tem-
and with the general principle that law

Such is Higher Criticism when perverted by the unscientific and shallow assumption that the Supernatural is incredible, for that is the ruling canon of the
critics named. It is pitiful that Christian
teachers should parade' in such company.
Yet it may be counted a good thing that
such an exposure should be made of misleading principles which have so greatly
governed the Higher Critics of the Old
Testament. Now that the same methods
are applied to the New, the absurdity of
tlie'ir conclusions becomes plain to view,
when the obvious internal evidence of the
genuineness of Paul's epistles is discarded.
Let us not be misunderstood as contemning all conclusions of Higher Critics, many of which have much force. But
they are to be received with caution, because largely mingled with human conjecture and fancy. Still more do we respect established conclusions of Science

may be
of interest to the readers of Tiik
Kuikmi. Mrs. Kozaki was a member of the
ii>si graduating class of the Doshisha, which
gave to Japan so many of its Christian leaders
and brought the name of the college into such
prominence. His first great work was in the
capital city of Tokyo where he established the
well known llancho Kuniiai (Congregational)
Church. Here he displayed remarkable tact'
in winning men from very varied walks in life.
I well remember attending a communion service in this Church some fourteen years ago.
Among those received sat a farmer on the
front seat, clad in ordinary native dress and
with bare feet, while but a foot or two away
were seated one of the highest judges in the
Empire and a Japanese I'eer, graduate of Vale
University, dressed of course as befitted their
stations in life. The building was thronged
to the doors and the service a model of simplicity. By patient unremitting labor in simple quiet fashion Mr. Kozaki built up what
was then in many respects the most remarkable Church in the country.
At the same time he was also editor of two
of the leading Christian publications, one a
weekly periodical, the other a monthly magazine. Though these he influenced a very wide
circle scattered all over the Empire, and it is
doubtful whether any Japanese Christian was
doing more for the upbuilding of Christianity
here than he.
From this most important sphere Mr. Kozaki was for a time called to the Presidency of
the Doshisha and in this connection he visited
the United States for a period of study in Vale
University. After a few years, however, he
became convinced that the pastorate offered
the sphere in which he could accomplish most
for the Kingdom of Christ, and a second time
he went to Tokyo :now to assume the leadership of the Kcinanzaka Church. He began
work at a most critical time when the antiforeign reaction had played sad havoc with
Church life and the splendid advance of the
Christian army in Japan seemed to have been
turned into a disastrous retreat. In the same
quiet manner as before, however, he took hold
of the affairs of his new charge, gathered the
people together and laid places for an aggressive campaign. At the same time he was carrying forward his editorial work. Finally a
year ago when the Twentieth Century Forward
Evangelistic movement was inaugurated he became one of its leaders, saw his own Church
revived and this year followed up the advan-
by a most successful gospel campaign.
Perhaps the chief cause of Mr. Kozaki's pre-
tage
eminence as a Christian leader is his staunch
adherence to the truth. Throughout all these
years of controversy his countrymen have
never been at a loss where to find him. Others
once known as widely as he for their successful leadership have brought reproach upon
themselves and the cause of Christ by lapsing
from the faith, hut Mr. Kozaki has never
swerved in his allegiance to his Master. His
great wisdom and gentle tact have also endeared him to his people. No stronger contrast could be imagined than that presented
by Mr. Kozaki and the evangelist Kimura
who did such a good work in Hawaii some
months ago. Yet after a few weeks association in the gospel campaign in Tokyo Air. Kimura has come to look upon Mr. Kozaki with
rare admiration and even veneration.
Mr. Kozaki has a remarkable helpmeet in

School in Tokyo and trained under the in-

in the nation. It is no small matter that they
have SO secured the cooperation of the Emigration companies that a large share of the
expense involved in this visit is to be borne
by these corporations. Let every friend of the
progress of Christian work in the Islands unite
in fervent prayer that the Spirit of God may
be poured out upon Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki and
that their brief mission may mean a new era
of advance for the Kingdom of the Master
both in Hawaii and Japan.
In this connection it may be added that the
Question of conserving the results of the faithful labor of love carried on in behalf of the

Christian influence and work is being seriously
considered just at present. On a recent tour
through Hiroshima and Yamaguchi Mr. Miya-

from Hawaii scattered in many towns and villages. His report has stirred up no little interest. The outcome may show that what has
been done in the Islands is to prove of lasting
benefit to Japan.

To TiiF Editor ok Tiik Friend:—
I avail myself of the enforced idleness of a
day with a strong headwind in which the boat
can not even move, to send a few lines about
China and its present conditions.
The most immediately impressive fact is the
prevailing hot winds from the south, and the
circumstance that down to the present time
there has been very little or no rain. Where
we arc at present (about half way between
and our Shantung destination) the wheat
crop on which in northern Cliina so much depends has been an almost complete failure,
and hardly anything has yet been planted.
From appearances it will be too late for anything but Indian corn, beans, sweet-potatoes
and the like. On this densely populated plain
this makes an amount and a degree of suffering which can be imperfectly appreciated in
your fertile and beautiful Islands. But this
is far from all or the worst.
All over China this appears to have been a
phenomenally dry year. Such a water-famine
as has prevailed in Hongkong during the
spring, is unexampled. Thousands of Chinese
have been obliged to scoop up a little from the

these conditions in a time of plague is not

The importance of these events lies not alone
in their relation to food supply, but to the
preservation of social order. China is in a
condition of great unrest. * For many months
there has been an extensive rebellion raging
in the southern province of Kuangsi, of which
it is impossible at the north to get clear and
trustworthy accounts. From the best information available, it would seem that it is not
unlike the rising against the Manchu Dynasty
a little more than half a century ago, known
as the "T'ai Ping rebellion" which lasted for
half a generation, devastated the fairest half
of the Empire, and destroyed an incomputable

being withdrawn from China, the instalments
of the Indemnity are being slowly and with
difficulty paid, and many are trying to take
account of stock, and to see what after all
we have saved from the great Boxer uprising.
It is for one thing quite clear to the most
obtuse anti-foreign Chinese that the foreigner
can not be driven out, and that the Christian
Church against which much relentless fury
was directed is practically immortal—having
been slain as was rightly supposed, hut having risen from the dead. The spiritual condition of the Church is in some places and in
some respects better and stronger than before, but in others worse. Persecution has not
destroyed it, though so many were killed, but
covetousness, revenge, and the dangers of
prosperity have left in many places deep marks.
It is much to be regretted that the authorities
of the Roman Catholic Church do not seem to
care to insist upon, or even in many regions to
advise a conciliatory policy toward outsiders.
The result is such a sowing of dragon's teeth
as is widely thought to mean a coming harvest
of future ills not less serious than those of
the past, with the additional possible feature
of open hostility on the part of the Catholics
toward the Protestants. It is not surprising
that mere men of the world disregarding all
religious considerations, frequently represent
(and doubtless believe) that China would be
far better off today had she never heard of
any "Western religion"—a view cordially
adopted by her own scholars. It is easy to expose the inadequacy of this position, but to
suggest a remedy for the present and especially for the prospective evils involved is far
more difficult. If the "Powers" could come to
some sort of an understanding, and terminate
the distinctly political policy of the Romanist
Church as a menace to the autonomy of China
and thus to the peace of the World, the condition of things would soon improve. But
there is no probability of such an agreement,
or of any agreement other than in externals,
and China will not unlikely continue to remain
the foot-ball of the Nations, until some different phase of the trouble is presented. It does
not follow that because Boxerism failed, that
there will be no further armed struggles on
the part of this ancient and mighty Empire.
The prohibition of the importation of weapons
is a direct stimulus to their manufacture in a
scale never before attempted. The national
feeling of the Chinese (which represents what
elsewhere is termed "patriotism") was never
so stirred as during the past few years.

TEMPERANCE ISSUES

REV. D. L. WESTERVELT
The Evangelical Association of the
churches of the Hawaiian Islands held its
annual session in Lahaina the first week
in July. The ministers of the various
islands unanimously expressed their grief
at the enormous increase of saloons and
the resulting increase of drunkenness
among the Hawaiians. A large committee was appointed to draft resolutions to
be sent to the Governor, asking him to
suppress this evil as far as is in his power.
One point in the resolutions is quite important. It calls attention to the fact that
the Governor is the appointee of the President of the United States, and is not subject to the ballot of the people, and, therefore, can only be reached by petition.
The resolutions read as follows:
Whereas there has been a large increase
of saloons in our islands during the past
two years,
And Whereas, all the reports from the
Hawaiian Ministers to this Hawaiian
Evangelical Association testify to the
alarming increase of drunkenness resulting therefrom,
And Whereas, government exists for
the best interests of the people and we
look to our government to suppress rather than promote evil,
And Whereas, our Governor holels his
office by appointment of the President of
the United States and is therefore in
great measure independent of local control and can only be reached by petition,
Therefore, be it Resolved, That we,
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association,
now in cession at Lahaina, respectfully
and earnestly request the Governor of this
Territory to use his power for the suppression of this evil.
During Governor Dole's absence in the
there was considerable official discussion concerning extending the limits for
liquor saloons along Queen street to Kawaiahao Church yard. Governor Dole,
however on his return, decided against
the extension, although the other officials
were strongly in favor. It is comparatively easy for the officials in subordinate
positions to advocate measures which are
not for the highest welfare of the people
and leave the entire onus to rest upon the
Governor.

can easily keep liquor out if they try. (2)
Put the U. S. revenue officers on the trail
of the makers of "swipes." (3) The
use of beer (and of course stronger lieiuors) decreases the power to resist disease. The leper has enough to bear now.
(4) Any use of alcoholic liquors is a
prohibition of a chance of recovery, if
remedies can be found for the disease.
Sixth. Dealers' licenses are granted for
$500. This is practically the same as a wholesaler's license in its power to authorize the
sale of all kinds of liquors with the addition
that since it is a so-called business by itself,
the dealers may sell ardent spirits in any quantity not less than one gallon—and wine, beer
and ale not less than one dozen bottles.
Drinking such purchased liquors is prohibited
on the premises controlled by the dealer.
Seventh. Retail liquor saloon licenses are
given for $1000 annually within a certain limited territory. This territory was outlined
during the days of the Republic of Hawaii.
And can now only be changed by the Treasurer of the Territory, with the consent of the
Governor or of the Acting Governor in case of
the Governor's absence. The Acting Governor
has been responsible for certain changes which

facture of malt liquors over fifteen years ago
the Minister of the Interior was authorized to
issue a brewery license for fifteen years, with
no provision for extension. This license expired some time ago and the Treasurer of the
Territory about two months ago. on his own
responsibility, issued an unauthorized extension
or new license to the brewing company. It is
difficult to understand how that license can be
worth the paper it is written on—let alone
the $150.00 which the owners of the brewery
paid for it. This license cost $150.00 a year
and a tax of five cents a gallon for all malt
liquors made and sold.
Second. Beer saloons selling nothing else
but the beer manufactured in the territory and
paying a fee of $250.00 could be located by
the Treasurer of the Territory wherever he
saw fit. Judge Estee of the U. S. District
Court decided that this provision was in conflict with inter-state law and ordered Treasurer Wright to close up this class of saloons.
Mr. Wright's failure to take action has made
him subject to a trial for contempt of court
before Judge Estee. These are the celebrated
and widely advertised Primo Beer saloons. In
this case as well as in that of the brewery the
Treasurer has apparently been on the side of
evasion rather than enforcement of law.
Third. According to the Penal laws for
1898 light wine, beer and ale saloons can be
licensed for an annual fee of $200 each, provided that "not more than three such licenses
shall be issued for each of the Judicial Districts in the Territory" and also provided that
no such license shall 'be issued for such a

Fourth. A Distiller's license can be granted
for a fee of $250 a year. No such licenses appear to have been issued. Certainly according
to official reports there are no distilleries in
operation at the present time.
Fifth. Wholesale Vending licenses are
granted to wholesale merchants for $500 a year.
This allows any one who has a license to sell
merchandise to include the sale of intoxicants
of all kinds "in quantities not less than the

The Christian Life....
"FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF
FAITH"
Fight 1 that is the word to the young
men of today. "Peace conferences" and
"Peace Societies" are well enough in their
way, but their emphasis is on the barbarity of certain modes of warfare, and
mainly political. There will always be
war while there is sin; for sin is war!
War upon the things that ought to be by
the forces of things as they are. Therefore, oh young men, fight! Punch the
bag and develop a muscle, for a good
muscle helps to fire the brain.
Keep the eye clean and the heart
strong, by avoiding alcohol and tobacco
and late hours, and by inhaling pure air,
morning sunlight, and wholesome fexid.
Fight! with the brain. Compel its attention till the page or the tool yields up
its secret, and you can go forth a masterartisan, either with books or machines.
The world is calling loudly for men with
trained muscle, trained eye, trained mind
who can not do anything; but who can do
one thing, and and do it so well, that employers are willing to compete for such a
service.
Fight! with the Soul. Drive the hammer with a prayer, and wield the pen.
with a hymn. Let the bag of tools be a
sure witness to consecrated manhood.
Fight! so that the suggestion to labor
less than sixty minutes to the hour will
never be made a second time. So that
the whistle to stop work will be discord
compared to that music in the Soul, conscious of honest labor and receiving
work as a divine commission. Fight!
Repel the suggestion that the Christian
is a puny man with flabby flesh and jellyfish mind.
Never be tired at election-time and be
ye more interested in the sinners who
vote early and often, than in the saints
who appear to be dead, or ought to be.
Don't argue with a man as to whether
Jonah was swallowed by a whale; or
whether Balaam's ass made a speech;
but find out if he himself swallows so
much that there is little left for wife and
children. Know if his speech is kind to
the woman he took from her happy home,
and to the little ones that play at his
knee, and if these things are not as they
ought to be, fight! Hit him in his moral
and mental make-up so that his soul will
know a Christian from a faker.
Fight for the Church! Hate the lie
with an undying hatred, that says that
most preachers are time-servers, and have
an easy berth; that says that most members are hypocrites more or less; that the
THE FRIEND
Churches are only for the rich and welldressed, and are unwilling to help the
poor to get higher; that only women and
children go; and that the world as a
whole is going to the devil. Hate and
fight these malicious messengers of meanness and misery. Defend the Church and
God'l world with a well-preserved body,
a clear strong cheerful mind, an eye that
flashes at impurity, and laughs at every
child, an ear shut to every slander and
nasty voice, and a soul so full of music,
of God and love for men that your trumpet shall sound a song of joy every day
you live.
Herbert Sydney Cox, in The Evangelist.
AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE
The Convention at LahaChrlstian Endeavor ma was not all that was
hoped for, there having
been a misunderstanding concerning the time
set for it. The Christian Endeavor people,
however, good humoredly accepted the rather
unfortunate hour from six to seven, imme-
portions of Scripture. By common consent,
the people from the valley of Halawa, Molokai, are credited with the finest singing and
lessons. The singing was under the leadership
of Mr. J. Nakaleka. This man must be a
leader of more than ordinary skill, and is reported to have been a student at Lahainaluna.
There has been a fine report given also of the
large Sunday School which came from Hookena under the leadership of Mr. T. K. R.
Amah) and Mr. T. N. Haae. It is hard to
calculate the good which is the outcome of
such gatherings as this, but anyone who has
seen and beard the well prepared and decorous
exercises will be slow to believe that the
chances for demoralization which such gatherings present cast the balance against their
effectiveness.
The Sunday Schools in their annual meeting
heartily indorsed the new paper the "Hoaloha," and the management proposes to make
it an efficient organ to bring before Sunday
School scholars the best possible material on
Sunday School topics and general matters of
interest for the family.
The Young Men's Bible Class of Kawaiahao
have determined to promote the social life of
the class, and had their first outing on Saturday. the 19th. A moonlight boat ride in the

misses his bed and his easy chair and the
quiet anel privacy, which to the Japanese
occupant are not so essential.
On his first visit to a foreigner's house,
a Japanese gentleman once said tt) me, "It
seems very strange to us to thing of having to hang yourself on a chair when you
want to sit down, or of laying yourself
on a shelf when you want to lie down, but
1 suppose it seems just as strange to you
to lie down at night where you have been
walking anel sitting all day."
Coming to Hawaii, the Japanese have
thus far, I believe, rarely built their own
houses. Most of them have not come to
stay; and they live in such houses as are
provided for them, or as they can afford
to rent. Many are in tenement-houses,
where they submit to the discomfort of
sitting on a floor which has only a straw
matting over it. Usually, the family occupies but one room, the cooking being
done on the verandah or in a little shed
in the rear.
To one who has seen the neatness of
even the humblest homes in Japan, the
lack of neatness in many of the Japanese
tenement houses is at first surprising.
Often, where the rooms themselves seem
clean and attractive, the verandahs and
surrounding premises are strewn with
wooden boxes, tins and other debris and
are apparently never cleaned. This state
of things is doubtless partially clue to the
use of stairs and passage-ways, and verandahs and back yards in common with
other tenants—something to which the
occupants have not been accustomed in
the homeland. It is on the plantations
that we long to see changes which will
make the homes more comfortable and attractive. At present the Japanese laborers are for the most part crowded in tenement houses such as have been described with but one rooms for each family, and no other place but the verandah
where even a rain-coat can be hung to
dry. In the earlier days the laborers
mostly left their families in Japan, but
now they are sending for them, about
twenty wives coming by every steamer,
and if each family could have a separate
cottage such as is furnished to the Portuguese, the change might go far in helping
to inculcate morality and self-respect.
Already such provision is made for the

"Dr. Maud Allen who has just returned from
India gave a vivid description of the need of
this uplifting work by the Indian women.
Japan is a new field where comparatively little work is done, but of late some few workers have felt a deep desire to see the work
greatly enlarged there. There are large factories there where hundreds of girls are employed and it is here a crusade is planned.
Miss Taylor proposed this plan, that one association or more, if all are small, band together
and pledge themselves to give so much each
year towards sending a missionary to some
foreign field. She said some associations were
already doing this and were very happy in it.
The girls of the coast voted unanimously to
try it.
"The workers from abroad tried
to impress
upon the girls that there is something in the
Christian life that is of practical value to help
one in all the details of life. The really most
helpful thing to the girls was the heart to

an especially interesting Sunday-school
exhibition, which followed the main ses-

The sessions of the first day were taken
up in organizing and in reading the statistical tables of the churches and the reports e>f the island associations.
The annual report of the Secretary was

Mr. Richards was re-elected Treasurer,
Mr. Timoteo was reappointed evangelist,

years with two changes, key. \Y. \; Lotto being chosen in place of Rev. -V Pali,
and Key. \Y. K. I'oai, pastor at Kalihi, in
place of Mr. J. N'altta.
The reports of the Island Associations
were hopeful. More than usual accessions to the churches were' reported and a
better feeling as having come to disturbed
parishes. Pastoral support had been most
complete on Kauai and ()ahu ; outside aid
had been partially reduced on Maui, Moll ikai and I lawaii.

.Much interest was aroused by the statement that all the Hawaiian churches and
their pastors had been enrolled in the
Congregational year-book. Each calendar year a new set of statistics is called
for. The labor of collecting, compiling
and forwarding these statistics is done by
Mr. Emerson and it is desirable to have
the'in as full as possible.
Mr. Emerson, chairman of the committee for a monument for the missionary
fathers, reported $144.95 ;is already contributed by the churches and in the bank
drawing interest at four per cent. The
plan is to continue the year collections till
a sufficient sunt is secured for the erection of u fitting work of art, either a
series of tablets in Kawaiahao church
with the names of the successive missionary reinforcements, or a monument possibly on the grounds of the cluireh.
By vote of the Association, the second
Sunday in April is again set .apart for the
presentation of the work of the missionaries and for taking a collection to increase the Memorial Fund.

Throughout the entire program the render

rarely heard a liner rendering of Scriptural
truth with devotional music than that given

Sunday was a day of great possibilities somewhat marred by the course of events. It was
unfortunate that the arrival of the steamer, on
which some of the delegates returned, was at
the hour of the evening service: it was not
a wise thing to adjourn the meeting of the
Sunday-School Association to the hour before
the Snndav morning service, hut the powerful
sermon delivered by Mr Desha, on sharing our
good with others, and the influence of the
communion service which came after it. as

evening on stewardship, made the day one to

artistic friends, which renrcsent the twenty

an even more notable event will in all
probability occur; and that is the final
withdrawal of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
from participation in the support of
Christian work in these Islands. As is
well known the American Board began
work here with the coming of the first
missionaries in 1820. It withdrew from
full responsibility in 1863, but it has ever
since lent its support by an active interest
and by grants-in-aid in money to the continuance of the work which it had inaugurated and carried to such a successful
issue. The civilization of the Islands today, materially, intellectually and spiritually, is due more to the forces introduced by the American Board than to any
other single cause. The annexation of
the Islands to the United States rendered
the old relation a somewhat anomalous
one as they are now no longer foreign
soil. ThU with the increasing ability of
the Territory to maintain its own religious institutions has led the Board to desire to terminate the relations so long
sustained.
The editors and managers of The
Frii-ni) feel that the occasion is an opportune one for giving recognition to a
service to humanity, hence they are
discussing the feasability of issuing a
special, greatly enlarged edition for the

with the heart of the subject, the whites
and natives take almost diametrically opposite positions. There is every reason
to believe that the natives represent the
facts more correctly. For one thing they
are in a position to have more accurate
knowledge; also, the white men who are
most intimate with the conditions of Hawaiian life, almost invariably agree with
the natives in their answers. The unsought, spontaneous testimony such as
can be found on page 15 of the report of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association,
and as given by <nir correspondent from
the Konas in the Field Notes of this issue,
all tend to confirm the truthfulness of this
side of the case. < )ne question on which
there is general agreement among all
classes is that the subject of the manu

judgment. It seems likely that the moral

present status bete need presentation liefore the people will he in the right temper of mind to deal candidly with it in
that way. In the meantime let this necessary work be pushed. Let the facts be

and family, life, on courts of justice, on
police effectiveness, on personal habits
and religious life. Let these facts be held
up to the light of day till people become
alive to the ramifications of this evil. We
already lnvc one law that cm he applied
at a practical point, and that is the United
States law requiring temperance instruction in the public schools. It stands the
Board of Education in band to see to it
that this law is adequately enforced in
order to offset as far as possible the tremendous educative influence in the direction of evil of our multiplied drinking
places, and drinking habits. If some
thing is not done to protect the children,
and instill into them correct ideas, and
train them in right principles in opposition, we have only to wait the necessary
time for a largely increased and much
more dangerous class of paupers and
criminals than the country has ever seen.
There can be no other outcome. In conclusion it may be said that this is not a
subject that calls for the consideration of
only church members and a few goodygoody people who are supposed to be paid
for their work. It is a moral responsibility that falls noon every member of the
community and no man has a right, even
in the seclusion of his own home, to use
intoxicating liquors as a beverage without
considering how far it is unfitting him for
his duties as an unselfish and partiotie
citizen. To such the noble principle of

There was the empty Hour-barrel star
ing at me with open mouth; my pocketbook was empty as the barrel; I was not
on a salary, and knew of no money that
was coming in. I do not know that my
wife enjoyed my preaching, hut she was
evidently bent on enjoying my practicing.
I looked for my faith and could not find
it; I looked for a way of escape, hut could
not find that, my wife blocking the door
of exit with the dust-brush covered with
flour.
I said, "J will put my head in and sing
on one condition."
"What's that?" said my wife.
"The condition that you will put your
head in with me. You know you promised to share ny joys and sorrows."
She consented; so we put our heads in
and sang the long-metre doxology. I will
not say what else we did, but we had a
good time; and when we got our heads
out, we were a good bit powdered Up,
which we took as a token that there was
more flour to follow.
Sure enough, though no person knew
of our need or the empty barrel, the next
day a grocery man called with a barrel of
flour for the Gibhuds. Who sent it, or
where it came from, we do not know to
this day, save that we do know that our
heavenly Father knew that we had "need
of these things."
I have joined with a thousand voices in
singing the grand old doxology; I have
sung it in many a fine church building,
also in the open air under the blue canopy
of heaven; but there is something very
peculiar about the sound of the song when
sung in an empty flour-barrel under the
forgoing conditions. I have repeated the
experience once or twice since with the
same result, though now I never spend
any time in looking for my faith; I
simply apply for flour at Phil. 4:19, and
then sing, "Praise God, from whom all
blessings flow." Bread, butter, beef,
beans, and all our needs we find can be
supplied from the same place.

and partly because missionary servici required constant attendance at once place.
Mr. Lyons was thereafter the central figure in the work in that section, remaining
faithfully at his post for fifty-four years.
The field at first included all Knhala,
both North and South, and llamakua.
In 1837 North Kohala was set off by itself, tinder Messrs. Bliss and Bailey,
having to Mr. Lyons all that long strip
of country, now the llamakua cane belt,
extending from the present < >okala plantation to \\ aipio, and including the deep
valleys of Waipto, Wairnanu and Honopue. It must be remembered that there
were not even horse trails in those days,
die native foot paths descending directly
into the gulches and climbing the other
side. The other half of the field included I'uako, two villages to the south, and
Kawaihae at the sea, and two villages in
Kawaihae mountain. Waimea itself contained several villages. All the country
was populous with natives, W'aipio alone
baying a thousand people.
At first the work consisted of getting
acquainted with the people, and making
preaching tours through the district, and
in examining and directing the schools
which had already been established in the
preceding decade in many sections. Then
crime the great revival of 183S, during
which year and the succeeding one, hundreds and even thousands of people
flocked to the central station, the mission

I'poi' the first arrival of missionaries

THE JAPAN MISSION AND HAWAII
The annual meeting of the American Board's
Japan Mission convened at Kobe College July
,}d md lasted a few hours more than a full
week This yearly gathering is notable even
in this land of many missions as nothing just
like it characterizes any other denomination at
work here. It is at once recreational, hygienic.
educational and religious. Its chief work is
business, both the King's business and also the
kind that the hardest headed American merchants would recognize as classifiable under
no other head. It is a great picnic, the families gathering from all over Japan. Those
who have seen no fellow missionaries for ten
months, children who for nearly a year have
known no playmates come together with those
residing in the large centers and every moment
overflows with the joy of associations in closest intimacy with comrades in the same gre t
cause.
The little ones of course are radiant
with fun. for then all sorts of good times are
prepared and in these meetings they receive

the forms of power which people are he-ginning
to associate with the thought of missionary
children. Kobe College is an Ideal place for

lies in the sad fact that the dust threshed out

these financial sessions everyone wears a
strained look at thought of the cruel reduction
hut a new line of spiritual beauty also appears
due to the spirit of unselfishness in surrendering cherished hopes in order that funds sadly
desired may go where the need is still more
imperative.
The center nf every day's session is reserved
for a spiritual feast. This year the subject
was the Kingdom nf God. Kvcryone present

before. No wonder that after a week thus
spent tired faces look rested, lines of care arc
smoothed out and Mission meeting is found
to have done more good than seven days at any
sanitarium could have promise.l.
For the earnest Christians in Hawaii the
meeting of the Japan Mission this year has
special significance, Not only were two representatives of the Hawaiian Hoard present at
all the sesious and accorded the honor of cor
responding membership, but what was of still
greater moment not a little time was given to
the consideration of the relation of the Japan
ese work ill Hawaii to the interests of Christianity here.
What Hawaii can do for Japan in a single
isolated ease is clearly exhibited in the person
of Hon. Taro Ando, one of the noblest and
most influential Christian men in the Empire.
lie himself is nev r weary of telling how he
found Christ far away in an island across the
sea and what was done for him there he is
fond of asserting can be accomplished for
others, hut notwithstanding this notable ex
ample it nuist he admitted that a very large
part of the work done for Japanese in Hawaii
seems to go for nought as soon as the Pacific
ocean gets in its negativing influence. It used
to be said fifteen years ago of Japanese returning from America where they had been bap
tiled, that the Pacific was the graveyard of
Christian faith so milch of it had been I uried
therein. The saying might lie repeated of
those coming hack from Hawaii.
That tliis is only a half truth, however, is
evident from testimony coining from the see
li.Mis whence the larger part of the emigrant
to Hawaii have gone, showing that there are
many of these returned Christians who in
-eeret still regard themselves as disciples,
though like the Methodist in one of his temporary falls from grace, they are "not work
in' at it just now." If these could be traced
out. and if the whereabouts of all other Christians who have come back from Hawaii were
knowp, 'here is little doubt that with them as
a foundation a most substantial and promising
work onld be prosecuted. Hut alas, the Misi n after engaging a most competent Japanese
to attempt just this task has been compelled to
listen with keen disappointment to his report
mosquitoes to grumble about. The session*
are confined to the daytime, exacting committee work suffers no undigested subject matter "No Chritiun. ever reach Japan from Hato intrude and waste time, perfect freedom waii."
There is just one way in which to change
this doleful and exaggerated comment upon
the effectiveness of the splendid campaign car
iie.l on so long ill the Territory into a song of
triumphant progress and the procedure is as
simple as it is obvious. Require every Japan
ese evangelist to send to the Hoard in Honolulu
a monthly list of the Christians under his
jurisdiction about to return or actually on the
way to Japan, including their home addresses.
Let a monthly letter be mailed to Rev. S. L.
Gulick from the Board rooms giving these
names and addresses. Mr. Gulick is the direct
appointee of the Japan Mission to receive such
communications ami to take steps to follow up
every returning Christian from Hawaii. If
the name of the steamer on which the persons
are to sail could be known in advance, still
better measures could he inaugurated here to
bind the home comer to the Christian movement in his own land. The Japan Mission has
definitely requested the Hawaiian Hoard to
furnish the information above detailed. Of
course this can and will be done.
A second phase of the close relation existing
between the Hawaiian Hoard ami the Japan
Missiiin was very carefully considered at Kobe.
This was nothing less than the question of
the supply of evangelists. The successful forward movement of the past year and a half
has most painfully accentuated the straitened
condition of .all Japanese missions in respect
to trained Christian workers. Everywhere
there are whitened fields but the laborers arcsadly wanting. Matters have reached such an
acute stage that it is clearly seen that no increased supply of men for Hawaii can be furnished. It is hoped that the number now at
work can somehow he maintained, hut even
this may he found impossible. In this emergency the Mission has actually turned to the
Islands for help. Fortunately the bulk of em
igrants come from the class of farm laborers.
I'he history of Christianity has always enforced the lesson that the best work for any
el.ass can be done by those who belong thereto.
Jestis, a Gililean all save by birth, drew most
of his disciples from Galilee. So it has ever
been. Why not then try to raise up and train
in Hawaii a band of workers from among the
people on the ground? There is no need of
elaborate training or of an education that
shall take the men out of sympathy with their
fellows. What ecems to be indicated is a
training school n the lines of such practical
institutions for lay workers as those founded
by Spurgeon in London ami Moody in Chicago. Already Hawaii has had a slight taste of
what the latter institution can do in the case
of Mr. .Seimatsu Kiniura. who is conducting
such a remarkable campaign in Tokyo. Furthermore Japan might be incalculably benefitted hv such an institution. At present the
farming classes are almost entirely outside the
Christian movement here. Suppose Hawaii
should train a dozen men from a. many provinces who in the Providence of God should
find their way back to their homes after years
of practical work in the 'territory? Might not
the Island gift trove the best offering ever

events the Japan Mission by unanimous action

white men and 100 to natives) in reference to the sale of intoxicating liquors
and its effects in these Islands. The

The Anti-Saloon League has made
something of a record during the past
three months. Three applications for
saloons were defeated at Waialua. Rev.
Mr. Poepoe, assistant pastor of Kaumakapili Church, was sent by the League to
pass a petition among the Hawaiians;
Mr. W. A. Bowen took a petition to Manager Goodale of the Waialua Sugar Plantation. The two petitions were signed
by a large number of influential people,
and the applications for license were defeated.
The Primo beer saloons, in direct conflict with the decision of the United States
District Court, have been allowed to run
hy the territorial officials until their year's
license expired. Nine of these licenses
expired during July. The Anti-Saloon
League is watching to see if these saloons
attempt to do business against territorial
laws. They have kept closed doors, and
apparently- do not open at all for business. Camarinos's saloon license expires
Sept. 4th. This is the noted "Gambrinus"
saloon.

The Christian Life...
TRUTH AND LIFE
Experience shows that the highest ends
of life are secured by shaping our plans
and directing our actions in accordance
this in
with the facts about us. We seewatching
such common place routine as
the state of the market or the weather.
When we try to live in ignorance of, or
without reference to facts, we inevitably
bring harm upon ourselves, and lay ourselves open to the suspicion that we are
weak in judgment or careless in action.
Another illustration is found in our relations with others. It is enjoined hy all
as one of the highest duties to so ?peak
and act that the real condition of things
shall be revealed. This is required that
those whose lives we affect may guard
their interests by adjusting themselves to
their environment. So clearly is this
recognized that to falsify is regarded as
one of the greatest vices, and the falsifier
as one of the greatest enemies of life and
happiness: and so it comes that truthfulness is regarded as one of the highest
virtues.
This dependence of welfare upon fact
would argue hat not only is the knowledge of fact essential but that the facts
themselves must in the main he of such a
nature as to he conducive to well-being;
and. further, that, if we live in a beneficent universe, the ultimate constitution
and arrangement of things, under a divine providence are, in the large view,
such as to promote our highest good and
this, as we readily see, is only another
way of saying that God is good, and that
the universe is shaped with reference to
moral ends.
To know the facts and laws, material
and moral, of the universe in which we
live, in other words, to know the truth,
in order that by this knowledge we may
make our lives promotive of the highest
moral and spiritual ends, should, therefore, be one of the chief aims in life. To
fully comprehend these facts and laws is,
of course, beyond the power of any finite
intellect; but in the realm of highest truth,
that which pertains to God and His redemptive work for men, we have the
promise of the guidance of a supernatural
helper, the Holy Spirit. "When he the
Spirit of truth is come he will guide you
into all truth." That the truth is the
divinely appointed means of bringing us
into largeness and fullness of life is also
suggested by words of the Savior, "Ye
shall know the truth and the truth shall
make you free." This is life eternal to
know God and Jesus Christ whom thou
hast sent."
:
We do not then need to fear the truth.
The truth has no influence in the world
but to lead to larger and better things.
We should not be distressed when we see
some old and cherished belief compelled
to give way before a clearer light. This
is not working to our detriment, but to
our greater freedom and power. It is
one of the ways in which the truth should
"make us free." Again God is a "God
of truth" who the Psalmist tells us "desires truth in the inward parts." When,
therefore, we come into knowledge and
obedience to the truth we come into likeness and fellowship with God, "But
speaking the truth in love may grow up
in all things into him who is the head
even Christ."

of the above, we state it as our belief that
Theodore Roosevelt is no trimmer, and
we are absolutely positive that "the most
useful citizen in New York, Jacob A.
Riis," doesn't know the first principle of
trimming.
Perhaps trimming is too firmly intrenched in the public mind as a hit of
political wisdom to attack, but we venture this suggestion as at least a danger,
viz: that the trimmer is as likely to undershoot the mark as the reformer is to overshoot it. More specifically, one can have
faith enough in the people to believe them
capable of appreciating and electing the
best candidates possible: or so underrate
the people as to believe them incapahle of
electing anyone but "heelers." Tt looks
as though a "reformer" might stand comparison with a "trimmer."
REV. WILLIAM MORRIS KINCATD
Rev. William Morris Kincaid, pastor
of Central Union Church, Honolulu, was
born in Utica, New York. His father
was George Kincaid, a Scotsman from
Inverness; his mother a French Hugcnot. This combination of Scotch tenacity
of purpose and incisivcness of thought
with French delicacy of feeling and quickness of intuition was a priceless inheritance. His boyhood was passed in Utica,
where he prepared for college in the public schools of the city. After four years
collegiate training at Williams College
under that great educator, Mark Hopkins, he graduated with honors in '72.
His theological course he obtained at the
Baptist Seminary in Rochester, N. Y..
Mr. Kincaid's first pastorate was at Cortland, N. Y. from 1875-78. He then ministered to the church at Roundout, N. V.,
until 1881. when he accepted a call to the
First Baptist Church of San Francisco,
Cal. Here he labored until 1800. Tn that
year he accepted a call to the pastorate of
the Andrew Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis, where be remained until coming
to Honolulu. In 1898 he accepted the call
of the Central Union Church and arriving
in the city in September, was installed as
most effective, the membership having
nearly doubled during the four years of
his pastorate, and the work of the church
having developed along many lines. I lis
preaching is earnest and thoughtful,
strong and spiritual.
By his eloquent
sermons and by his kindly sympathy he
has endeared himself to the hearts of the
people.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES.
The gigantic and disastrous eruptions
of volcanoes in Martinique and St. Vincent in the Lesser Antilles, continue to
create the most serious apprehensions of
not improbable greater explosions to follow their repeated activity. Here in Honolulu, we are vividly reminded of those
terrific explosions by the brilliant skyglows at daybreak and dusk, which proceed from the minute dust which they
have sent far aloft into the upper currents
of the atmosphere.
Our group is undoubtedly as safe as
any other country from volcanic eruptions, with the exception of the southern
part of the island of Hawaii, where two
active volcanoes conduct frequent displays, usually of a very harmless character. No explosive eruptions have occurred there for over a century. The
very tame volcano of Kilattea, which is
200 miles from Honolulu, has recently
resumed a very quiet sort of activity,
after several years of quiescence. The
lake of lava is slowly welling ui> into the
bottom of the inner crater of TTaleaniau
man. Tt promises to renew the magnificent spectacles enjoyed by visitors during so many past years. The fine hotel
on the brink of the great crater is likely
now to become a place of crowded resort.

THE FRIEND
THE ERRATICS OF TOLSTOI.
At the instance of a friend, the present
writer has given some special attention to
the religious and political attitude of the
noted Russian, Count Lyof N. Tolstoi, as
contained in his latest manifesto in a
small volume entitled "What is Religion."
Tolstoi is manifestly sincere in his opinions, and intensely in earnest. I hit both
as to religion anil politics, he evinces an
utterly ill-balanced mind, and an incapacity for finding a middle path between extremes. This is shown most clearly in respect to politics, which occupy a large
part of the volume. Ile is profoundly detcstful of the abuses of government which
prevail in Russia, hut instead of pointing
out and urging the needed reforms, he
goes to the extreme of opposing all forcible authority over men. He denounces
with utmost passion all use of force in
controlling the evil dispositions of men,
with all use of police or military. All use
of force is contrary to the law of Love
and Brotherhood as enjoined by Jesus,
and militarism is organized murder. He
fails to allow for the necessary limitations
to every precept, or to see that society can
exist only hy the exercise of law and ordered control, to he maintained by force.
His only remedy for the abuses of tyranny is the entire abolition of Government.
Such is Tolstoi's absence of discriminating judgment. He is an absolute crank,
devoid of sound guidance of thought.
Equally erratic is Tolstoi on the subject of Religion. He has strong religious feeling, being by no means atheistic
or impious. But having heen all his life
wonted to the religious abuses of the powerful Orthodox Greek Church, and having renounced that erroneous and usurped
authority, he has with it renounced all
Divine Revelation, and all authority of
the Holy Scriptures. He retains much
reverence for the teaching of the man
Jesus, as he chooses to select it out of the
recorded words in the Gospel, but rejects
all Divine authority thereof. He denounces with violence as false and absurd
the Christianity of the Apostles and especially of Paul, equally with the corruptions and priestcraft of later centuries.
Of what he retains of reverence for the
moral teachings of the merely man Jesus,
he reduces to two elements, the Brotherhool of Man, and the sacred duty of doing
to others as you would have them do to
you. All else of Christianity is false and
pernicious accretion. There are no Miracles. There is no Divine Revelation.
Jesus was neither born of a virgin nor
rose from the dead, nor was more divine
than any other man. There is no Holy
Spirit. The Supreme Deity is something
dim and remote from thought. Prayer is
allowed under narrow limitations, exclud-
ing all supplication for mercies, hut admitting a species of communion with God
as the infinite fountain of being and law.
Thus is this great and sincere soul
adrift in mazes of error. One prays that
this aged martyr to his beliefs may in the
hereafter emerge into a blessed light of
the Truth of the Son of God, and into the
Kingdom of the Redeemer which is to
S. E. B.
endure forever.
EVOLUTION
BY NATURAL SELECTION
DISPROVED.
All persons acquainted with Science
believe that all living beings came into
existence by descent from earlier and
simpler forms. Rut this does not necessarily mean that, as Darwin and Spencer
held, the process of development was the
slow one of gradual changes by merely
natural process, and the "survival of the
fittest."
in the ContemporJames B. Johnston
impugns that
vigorously
ary Review
theory. He appears to produce the most
positive and cumulative evidence from the
fossil remains unearthed from the ancient
rocks, that evolution came by great leaps
and sudden bounds. During the halfcentury since Darwin wrote, the "Testimony of the Rocks" has enormously accumulated. It brings overwhelming proof
of the great and sudden development of
new organs and new families. Evidence
is totally wanting of the numerous intermediate links attending gradual change
hy natural selection. The new tribes and
new organs appear at their very beginning in great completeness and perfection. There were no intermediate stages
of evolution whatever.
For example, the great order of the
Vertebrates appears to have arisen suddenly and in great perfection. The very
earliest organ of vision found was a very
perfect and complex eye. The earliest
bird, successor to pterodactyls in the samestrata, had perfect feathers, and could fly
as well as birds now. When Darwin
wrote, the rocks bad been but slightly explored, and the gaps in the evidence were
immense. He could plausibly assume
that the intermediate links in his fancied
gradual evolution lay overlooked in the
unexplored strata. But in the lapse of
fifty years those gaps in the exploration
have been sufficiently searched to prove
that his theory was wholly untenable.
The results of this genuinely scientific
test of Darwin and Spencer's a priori
theorizing are of the utmost importance.
With these falls to the ground a largepart of Herbert Spencer's revolutionizing
conclusions. Most of his naturalistic and
agnostic theorizing loses its strongest
support It breaks down the current opposition to teleological reasoning or Evi-j
deuces of Design in Nature, for all that
depends upon the validity of the doctrine
that all living forms with their marvellous
and intricate adaptation to their environment were evolved solely by gradual natural processes, and no Designer bad any
hand in so fitting them. Now the Rocks
prove that their evolution was sudden and
not gradual.
This writer, Johnston, writes with a
quiet confidence and an evidently wide
reach of geological and palaeontological
facts which give great plausibility to his
assertions. We shall wait to see what rehuttal is made of them. Such refuting
will of course be attempted. The Christian's fullest faith in the Personal God
and Father is, however, built upon inward
spiritual experience, and not upon the disputed reasonings of Physical Science or
of Philosophy.

John Kaona, the leader of the sect called
Kaonites, came to Kona, Hawaii, from
Honolulu when he had the reputation of
being a kahuna, and a record not altogether reputable, some time during the
year
1867.
He first appeared there at one Thursday afternoon prayer meeting in the native stone church on the hill, called the
Popopiia Church. Rev. J. D. Paris was
conducting the services, and Kaona
entered carrying a large number of Hawaiian Bibles, which he asked the privilege of storing in the church. As there
seined to be no objection, he was allowed
to place them there for safe keqiing. He
soon began to distribute these Bibles
among the people, ostensibly to help in
the Christian work of the district, and
thus secured an influence and a hearing,
for "a man's gift maketh room for him."
It was two or three months before the
heresy which Kaona had come to promote
became apparent, when he had secured a
hearing and a following from a large
number of the native Christians of the
district.
He claimed to be an inspired leader
like Moses; that he had special revelations from heaven. He denied some of
the teachings of the Bible, but the particulars of his doctrine have not been preserved. He seems to have modeled them
somewhat after the tenets of the Millerites, who flourished in the United States
during the early forties. He claimed that
it had been revealed to him that the world
was soon coming to an end, and that he
was commissioned to withdraw from the
churches a people who should be specially
prepared to welcome the Lord when He

should appear. Recalling the "ascension
robes" of the Millcritca, they all dressed
in white, men, women and children, and
each carried a white, hag containing a
Bible. They inarched much in processions chanting psalms, held a meeting
every evening and lived in tents and
booths in community style, for a while at
least.
They claimed from Mr. Paris the
use of the l.anakila church in North Kona
for their meetings, as they had assisted
in building it. Though this was true, Mr.
Parts did not feel that it would he righl

refused. They then withdrew entirely
from the native churches of the district,
several hundred of them, who were thereafter known as Kaniiitts. Kaona had
meantime secured to himself a large number of (lie homes ami kulcanas of the
natives, giving them in return a written
promise to care for them as long as they
should live, "A like pu inc. ka niea l.iki,"

for the lease of a large tract of unoccupied land in S. Kona called Honua-ino, a
mile or so below the road, extending tt
the sea. Kanaina refused to give them a

could occupy the land as long as they

Paris and Mr. Grccnwdl, who lived in
the district, warned Mr. Neville that the

occur, and his own life might be in

began to use freely the only weapons they
hail at hand, stones. A stone Struck Mr.
Neville ami knocked him off his horse,
when he was speedily stoned to death.
Moses Barritt, a half-white in Neville's
company, was chased by the natives ami
barely escaped with his life, while a. native, Kaniai, was lassoed antl dragged to
death by the infuriated Kaonitcs, who
were described as acting like wild ani-
mals.
The rest of the invaders were obliged
to return without having accomplished
anything, and the greatest alarm spread
throughout X ma. It was reported that
the Kaonitcs were about lo burn the
houses anil murder every white man in
ihe district. Patrols were established,
and call for help was at once sent to Honolulu. Messengers were dispatched to
Sheriff Coney at Hilo and Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth at Kawaihac ami others
who came to the scene of trouble as soon
as possible. They held a meeting with
ihe residents of Kona, and securing other
officers and residents of the place, went
down to Honua-ino, The natives were
told that any man who threw a stone or
showed any insubordination would be
shot at once. They held a long conference with Kaona, who showed them his
letters from Kanaina. Many fell that if
they had not made themselves outlaws by
the murder of Mr- Neville, they might

the old steamer Kilauca came in sight
around the point of Kailua. and when the
Kaonaitcs saw that all hope of resistance
was over, they yielded and were taken
prisoners. Some three hundred, men,
women and children, were marched up

After serving his term in prison Kaona returned to Kona with some of his
followers, when he again secured some
of the lands which had formerly been
given him. But he was never able to reorganize his scattered ranks, and after a
few years lie died in Kona. A few of the
people returned to the church, but many
remained in Honolulu, and thus the sect
of the Kaonitcs became extinct.

REV. W. D. WESTERVELT
The action of Mrs. Roosevelt in refusing to speak to. or see, the Grand Duke
Itoris because of his outrageously immoral life, will be a strong influence helping pure minded women in high positions
to make known that the laws of morality
arc superior to the customs of society. It
will he much easier for ladies to refuse
greeting to men whose lives are notoriously had. While Mrs. I laves was in the
White House her influence in regard to
the use of intoxicants prepared the way
for a continued improvement over former
years in White I louse etiquette.
When
society has once taken a step upward it is
not easy to sink clear hack to the low level
again.
The Republican party in its Territoral Convention, Sept. i, put itself on
record as opposed to any Dispensary Legislation by the following plank:
"13. We do not favor legislation
ending toward the conducting of the
iquor business by the Territorial Gov-
ernment."
This is apparently a harmless statement of an excellent purpose. It is true
that it is not desirable to have the liquor
business conducted by the Territorial
Government. It is also true that the
liquor business is not desirable no matter
by whom it may he conducted. There is
a sense of degradation which can never
be removed from any one conducting a
saloon, whether it is handled by a government or by an individual.
Nevertheless it was not the purpose of
the liquor men to bring out the low
status of the liquor traffic. They simply
meant to check any movement toward inaugurating a Dispensary or Gothenberg
system of handling intoxicants in these
islands. The real desire was to check
any interference with their money making.
Again we note that it was only owing
to the steadfast earnestness of a few men
that the Republican party was kept from
appearing before the American public as
an out and out whiskey party. It is an
open secret that a much stronger pro-saloon plank was desired in the platform. A
few level-headed men checked the committal of the Republicans to a pledge
against all temperance legislation. This
would have compelled the organization
of a third party and the nomination of
men of good character and influence for
the responsible positions subject to the
vote of the people.

When he reached the Jordan there were a

I think the devil said, "Now see those

The ten spies differed from Caleb and

Canaan. There are three words here beginning with G—the word "God," the
word "giant" and the word "grasshopper."." Now, note, these spies made a
great mistake as to the position of these
three words; they compared themselves
with the people of the land and said, "And
in their sight we were as grasshoppers."
If they had compared the people of the
land with God, they would have come

A study of our thrifty neighbors, the

month, when, in spite of our agreeable
and mild climate, we must realize that
this is the fall of the year, we must find
and drink the ()ctoher wine of spirit to
give us nerve and fire for a good winter
of work. While to he sure we are thankful that life is given to us in little bits and
are, in one sense of the word, wise if we
live but a day, hut an hour, at a time, still
in another sense we are most unwise if
we look no further than the nearest duty,
the next step to be taken. A purpose for
life must we have? Yes, and why not a
particular purpose for each .year, each
winter, each month?
Let as not be lotus eaters dreamily
seeing all days glide by as summer days,
but let us choose some course, make some
plan, set ourselves to certain tasks to be
done in certain times—then may we better grow, physically, intellectually, spiritually.
Life is but a working day,
Whose tasks are set aright
A time to work, a time to pray,
And then a quiet night.
And then, please God, a quiet night,
Whose palms are green and robes are

A iong-drawn breath, a balm for sorrow,
And all things lovely on the morrow.

Among the many representatives of
European nations on these islands are the
Portuguese, The majority of them came
here as laborers from the middle and lower classes of the islands of Madeira and
Azores. As their terms of contract expired, with inherent desire of owning
homes, they bought or leased small tracts
of land and began at once to improve
them, and now they, with few exceptions,
own their homes. They are noted for industry and thrift. The barren plots under
Portuguese cultivation and care were
soon converted into blooming gardens
and fruitful vineyards. The Portuguese
is most happy when he can dwell "under
his vine and under his fig tree."
Let us take a glance at their mother
country. "The discovery of Madeira was
the second achievement of the early Portuguese mariners," Columbus married a
daughter of its first Governor. Funchal,
the capital of Madeira, is a "white city;"
matters
of importance. The brothers
are their sisters' keepers. The altars in
the Catholic homes teach reverence for
religion and the church. The children
consider it a great favor to be allowed to
kiss the priest's ring as he rides past
them on the street and extends his hand
to them. Here is a beautiful Catholic
custom. When a child approaches his
father in the morning off goes his cap
and "pa* a sua benca" is reverently spoken ; the father lifts his hand and says,
"The Lord bless you and keep you my
child." This custom is still practised by
the older families, but alas, it is vanishing.
Among the Catholics the Sabbath day
used to be like any other week day: only
the feast days were kept sacred. Since
the Protestant mission was established
here its influence has permeated even
Catholic homes and now one seldom sees
a Portuguese going to the fish market
on Sunday morning to do his marketing.

HAWAIIAN MISSION
CHILDREN'S SOCIETY
A letter from Miyazaki, Japan, under
date of March 22nd, 1902, from Miss
Julia A. Gulick, was sent to the committee who had in charge last spring the
plans and alterations that might he made
in the working of the Society during the
new half century. A few quotations are
not out of place here, although the letter
was not received in time to he acted upon
before the Jubilee. "A suggestion of
Cousin F. W. Damon's made some years
ago, recurs frequently to my mind, with
a very strong wish that it might he acted
upon in some way. It was that 'the
Cousins' Society might as an organization, take up the work (which our Cousin
Frank Damon and his admirable wifehave done so many years) of giving a
welcome, and a God-speed to the numerous missionaries of all these eastern lands
who touch at Honolulu." She adds: "Not
that there has been any lack of service—
but I covet for the Society which represents all the descendants of the Hawaiian
missionaries, a share in that good work."
She suggests that a committee might be
possibly appointed to work with Cousin
F. W. Damon, and a purse be supplied to
help entertain the welcome visitors as
they come and go. This suggestion may
well he considered in future, when the
question of how our funds arc kept up,
and our responsibilities of the past met, is
decided.
A letter from Father Edward Bailey
from Alhambra, Los Angeles Co., S. Cal.,
dated Sept. 2nd, acknowledges from the
hand of Mrs. Robert W. Andrews, the
Jubilee number of the annual report "with

then says: "In the Missionary Album
my going as a delegate to Micronesia was
left out. Perhaps the fault was my own.
I consider it a good piece of my life. In
looking hack over my life I see things not
as 1 would now do them. But my happiest missionary year was when I had a
select boys' school at Wailuku. My hardest years were when I had the Kula Kaikamahine of Wailuku. But it was not in
vain."
"I regret that my hook on Micronesia
has not heen printed. If it had~Ticen published that great blunder of the U. S. in
regard to Ponape, would have been left

used different pens in those days. The
