Nay, but how The Resignation of At the regular Hon. Henry Wa. meeting of the Ha- tcrhoiiHp waiian Board in November, a letter was received from Hon. Henry Waterhouse resigning his position as its president owing to his present inability to attend to the duties of the office. Although reluctant to sever these special relations with Mr. Waterhouse, the Board, in consideration of his condition of ill health, acceded to his request and accepted the resignation. A committee was then appointed to convey to him its appreciation of his services and regret at the necessity for his retirement from office. Mr. Waterhouse was elected to the presidency of the Board last February, and has consequently held the office less than a year. Before that he had been for a long time the Board's vice-president and one of those who had been longest in its service. He has always been in active sympathy with every good cause, and has aided in many ways in promoting the Christian activities of the Islands. He has been especially helpful to the Hawaiians. He speaks their language fluently, and from long familiarity with their ways and a clear understanding of their nature, is peculiarly fitted to appreciate their needs and to be their sympathetic adviser. He still retains his position as a member of the Board. We are told that he is enjoying a condition of comparative comfort in his home at the Peninsula. His friends will all rejoice that this is so, and he can rest assured that he has the sympathy and kindest regards of them all in his enforced retirement. Hon. P. C. Jones was appointed his successor in office. - .. .. . The election of j.

Such a sight speaks ve>ltiines in favor of missionary operations. At 11 o'clock Mr. Green preached hi English. Quite a number were present from the ships in port. In the evening I preached on board the "Enterprise," Captain Swan, from Nantucket. A considerable number of captains anel other officers were present from the ships in port. We are much gratifieel to find a ship of the' character of the' "Enterprise" in port. It seems a real revival of religion has been experienced on board of the "Enterprise" since' she has been in the Pacific. None was hopefully pious when she saileel but the captain. Nine others now give pretty good evidence of a saving change. Some of the officers appear very well indeed. While in port they had much Friendly intercourse with the missionaries.

To our regret the ship hanow sailed, but we trust the blessing of God will go with her. This evening we attended the monthly concert of prayer for missions feir the first time on heathen shore's. April 8.—The people universally seem te> be very much rejoiced on account of our arrival. A circumstance' occurred this cvenine which illustrates their good will towards us. Mr. Andrews, Mr. Green and myself walked out this evening upon a hill a little distance from Mr. Bingham's, where we founel several 11a- �live- houses. The chief man eif the place .seemed te> be very much rejoiced te> see US, anel sent his boy hemic with us with a pig as a present. Since our arrival the two mission families at this place have received a great variety of presents in articles of food, principally from the chiefs, consisting e>f pigs, turkeys anel either fowls, fish, cabbages, onions, peitatoes, watermelons, tare), bananas, cocoa nuts, grapes ami oranges. April 9. — The missionary packet sailed today for Hawaii tei invite the brethren e>n Hawaii and Maui to a general meeting. Mr. Culick has gone with the packet. This afternoon a service was held in the native language, ami this evening Mr. Green preached in English. We have not yet seen the young king, as he is absent em a visit te> another part eif his dominions. We hope he will return before the general meeting of the mission. April 14.— Yestcrelay being the Sabbath, Mr. Bingham preached in the morning te> a numerous and attentive' audience of natives. At 1 1 o'clock Mr. Andrews preached in English. A considerable number were present from the ship> in port, and a few foreign resi- dents. Mr. Bingham preached again in he the native language at 4 o'clock. Sabbath seemed to be as well observed by the natives generally as it is in nieist New England towns. By most eif the seamen in peirt. and by many of the ftircign residents, the' Sabbath is employed as a holiday. We rejoice, however, to find some who strictly observe the Sabbath, anel who are the firm friends eif the missionaries. We are now applying eiurselves with diligence tei the language, ami hope to be able in a little time tei converse with the people.

April J4.—Very little business pertaining to the general meeting has yet been transacted. Several of the brethren have been occupied in the examination of schools. A large number eif persons from different parts e>( this island have come forward under their several teachers anel been examined in reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic.

Three earth was Mrs. Clara Bingham, as she very to attend themselves and family and Mr. Bishop consecrated �6 and Mr. Bingham tarrietl for a few days in Honolulu en route for Apaiang. Early memories of brilliant eyes, rosy cheeks, a winning smile ami melodious voice are Uttdimmed by the flight of years. They have served, as time has unfolded the experiences eif life em every hand, to intensify the feelings of love for, and sympathy with, the beautiful woman who was so joyous in her renunciation of all that the world calls dear, and so buoyant in her self-sacrifice. As a city set upon a hill, so the life of this devoted lady, together with that of her husband, has been an open book that all the world has read. Doing ever with her might the duty of every day, there were periods when her residence in the mission field was interrupted. The claims of health and strength demanded change of scene and climate for herself anil Mr. Bingham. Thus it was the great privilege of their many friends in Honolulu tei be' associated with them here for consecutive months, anel even decaeles, eluring the forty-seven years of their missionary life together. As returning anel improved health permitted, they were ever laboring at this distance for the children of their adoption, to whose salvation they had so gladly consecrated their lives. Being not unmindful, however, of the o|)]K)rtunities that lay nearer at hand, Mrs. Bingham graced with her presence and ability positions of leadership, responsibility and honor as they appealed to her from time to time. Her special power was felt during the ten years she was president of the Woman's Board eif Missions for the Pacific Isles. Of this period Mrs. R. W. Andrews, in reviewing the history of the Board for thirty years, speaks of Mrs. Bingham as follows: "Mrs. Bingham accepted the position just as she accepted the call to Micronesia, saying not only 'Who is sufficient for these things ?' but also, 'He who has led, will lead all through the wilderness.' She impresses us with the feeling that mission work is a privilege, anel not a sacrifice. She seems ever looking out over a vast harvest field of souls to be gathered in, with an eager desire to have many harvesters thrust in the sickle. 'The constraining love of Christ' seems ever to be her incentive, anel the principle inculcated is, 'Let yourselves, your purses and your children be consecrated to the Lord.' Much as we admire the clear intellect, the intelligence, the tact and the loving greetings of this dear friend, her impelling force as a leader seems to be the fact that she is the medium through whom the Holy Spirit would gather us all together as THE FRIEND helpers in the joyous weirk of sitviug souls. With one hand in that of the' father she is being led; with the oilier hand she would include all in the work and blessing." A dear frienel, Mrs. Leatlingham, who was privileged tei be often with Mrs, Bingham eluring the last years of her life, semis the following tender tribute: "As the prisoner who was doomed to pass his days in a room, the walls of which were st> arranged as to gradually approach anel finally crush him, so was this heroic woman in the grasp of the began inexorable elisease which in to fasten itself upon her. At first affecting only the right hand, which ha 1 labored so long and faithfully for her beloved people, it gradually spread over the entire boely until she was rendered powerless te> help herself. She who had been so ready to serve must neiw be serveel. How harel it was for her naturally independent spirit to be patient under this discipline we can only guess. As king as her strong will coulel control the failing muscles, she continued her work of preparing text-beieiks for the Gilbertese people. "In 1894 she reviseel ami carried through the press the fourth edition of her Arithmetic; also the seventh edition of her Reader, anel the third of her Pri- 1895-6 she wrote mary Geography. I" anel published her Bible Readings, which were intended to help the Gilbertese women in their weekly pmycr- meetings. "In 18c>8-<; she wreite anil published her Brief Notes on Job. Even as late as 1902 she rendered material aiel tei her husband in preiof-reaeling, as he carried for her through the press the fourth eelition eif her Primary Geography and the second eelition of her Higher Geography, reviseel anil enlarged by herself in 1894, preparatory for future publication, the preMifs being hclel before her practiced eyes by her nurse. To some extent tliel she in the same way reatl the proofs of the fifth edition of her Arithmetic as late as May of the present year. In addition te> all this work she aideel her husband between 1897 and 1901 in his Gilbertese Commentary em the Four Gospels, by examining all the Biblical references which he had made (anel they were very many) with reference to their correctness. "A kind friend gave her an invalid's table, on which a book could very conveniently rest, and so long as she was able to sit up, one might come upon her in the morning hour with her Bible open before her The Word was very precious to her. "One after another she had to give up the things she loved—her Sundayschool class of Gilbertese living in Hon- oltthl, which she' taught as long as she could walk from her carriage' to the church; the prayer-meeting and church service, and, last of all, the' dearly loved Woman's Board meeting. "After she became' unable' to hold a pen or to use a typewriter, she 1 carried on her large correspondence by means of an amanuensis, At last even this was denied her. for the disease, ever creep ing on, came' to affect the' veical chords so that she eeiulel with increasing difficulty make herself understood. The' muscles of the1 face' were also more or less affected, SO that its usual expression was changed, but the light never went out of the eves. There one saw the light of her soul, anil when she smiled she was still herself. "An attack of dengue fever in May last prostrateel her upon her heel, ami her remaining months were months of extreme' weakness, anil, much of the time, intense suffering. 'Pray,' she would say, 'that I may have patience to wait till the Master calls ;' 'I suppose I need the discipline, but I shall be glael to go.' ( )ften she would say, I shall wear them all out, I am so much trouble.' She had a natural shrinking from death, but faith gave her the victory. Close now the prison walls were drawing about her. Speech, except for the merest indication of her wants, was daily becoming more infrequent and more difficult. Strength faileel even to listen. Hour after hour she lay with closed eye's and silent lips, yet fully conscious, as the occasional lifting of the liels would show. How many thoughts she must have longed to reveal to the lonely husband anil frienels waiting beside her! "Her tenderness and wealth eif affection only her nearest anel clearest knew, but her graciousness. her sympathy, her bright, sweet spirit, every one who met her must recognize. Her thoughtfulness in little things anel her rare unselfishness were markcel characteristics. Even in the days of her late invalidism the comfort eif her guests was her first thought. Seldom was the birthday eif a frienel unnoticed. "But humility most of all belonged to Mrs. Bingham. While accepting and faithfully performing any task or responsibility that was hud upon her, she carefully avoieleel anything that woulel bring herself into prominence. A rare combination of qualities was hers. She hael unflinching elevotion to principle, yet such tact anel winsomeness eif manner anel such evident sincerity, that none coulel take eiffense if her ieleas were at variance with theirs. "In mental anel social qualities she was unusually endowed, and she keenly enjoyeel intellectual ami social privileges, yet there was never a murmur �7 THE FRIEND "cant" phrase is used continually. "You enforce law in advance of public I cannot opinion." The curious fact almost always faces this statement that these very men use all the influence they possess, frequently backed up by money, to keep public from having any opportunity 1the of expressing its opinion. "The people want saloons." "We will not give the people the chance lei vote on this epiestion." These two statements show the absolutely dishonest position of the large majority of those who quote "public i opinion" against law enforcement. This WESTERVEL.T EDITED BY REV W.

The Evansville city authorities thought that the rioters expressed the public opinion of the city, ami therefore failed to act. They were not large enough mentally to understand a national viewpoint, and therefore failed to check the riejters without ' GENERAL bloodshed, as might have been done in the beginning. Public opinion means something vastly broader than the thoughts of a few befuddled brains around a bar. It goes far beyond the gossip of a self-centered community, It means the mental atmosphere of a nation. COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY Seldom does this community have the opportunity and the right to congratulate itself so heartily as on the occasion of the appointment by President Roosevelt to the Federal judgeship in Hawaii of Sanford B. Dole. For twelve years, through all the changes of government possible to a nation, his hand has guided this little land on its way. When, at the overthrow of the monarchy, Judge Dole took the reins of control, we knew not what was before us. The country and the government were in chaos; new conditions confronted us ; a new form of administration was to be creatcel; a novel situation was to be met, and new and unexpected complications to be overcome at every turn. Through the period of the Provisional Government it was his hand which led the people— his moderation which brought us in peace to the time when it became practicable to form a Republic. As this Republic's president he was a wise anel an energetic leader; his character and the character of the men he gathered about him was the strongest recommendation for annexation Hawaii had to offer our great homeland, anel the universal praise which the mainland has heapeel upon the head of Governor Dole has, more strongly than any worel coulel do, shown with what success he has filled the highest office in the Territory ever since we became part of the United States. It has long been known that not even the urgency of the President could persuade the Governor to accept a second term, and the community has lookeel forward to having our honored Governor once more in our midst as a fellowcitizen. But the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Estee seemed to offer a position so well suited to the ability and learning of Governor Dole, that we gladly surrendered him once meirc that he may again serve his country in the honored and important post he holds today. Of his ability there can be not the slightest question; of his capacity, mental honesty and discernment, and all the other qualities which go to make up a successful and upright judge, it were waste of breath here to speak, as they are universally acknowledged. We only pray that the kind Providence which guards Hawaii may grant him many years of life in this new anel honofed capacity. Perhaps scarcely less happy is the succession of George Carter to the position of Governor of the Territory, left vacant by the retirement of Gewernor Dole, A man of the strenuous school, of undoubted honesty, bringing to his e)ftice the confielcnce anel the good will of the business community, it is with every outwarel aelvantage that he has taken the chair. Whether a too strong elesire to acctimplish things—a lack, perhaps, of the moderation which has sei prominently mark-eel the aelministration eif Governor Dole; whether a too strong belief in the correctness of his own convictions, anel an unwillingness to accept the opinions of men perhaps better able to juelge of various matters than he—will mar the work which all believe he now intenels to accomplish, time alone will tell. Of the sincerity of his purpose, eif his intention to perform anil his ability so to tlo, we have no eloubt. But we have yet to learn whether he will, with that degree of calm necessary to a truly successful man, be able to bear the innumerable petty trials and the thousantl disappointments anel vexations of political life, anel through it all and in spite of it all, without swerving from his honest purpose, come out victorious. Of his willingness—nay, his elesire—to take, rather than shirk, responsibility, his first acts anel appointments as Governor speak with no uncertain voice; anel though we believe that in the main the appointments were good, we do not see that much strength is added thereto by the proclamation that the selections were without the advice or desire of any save the newly appointee! executive. party, though faring rather ill in this county, were able tei put a few of their less disreputable men into office, and on Maui ami Hawaii were everywhere successful. Like Tammany in New York, this element is here to stay. It is to be a constant task to keep the government decent—a task which must elicit the' support of all. Of the appalling state of eiur hist Legislature—of the theft, robbery, grail and wholesale larceny eif which they all, with but a few personal exceptions, were' guilty; of the dishonesty of its members of all ranks; of the manner in which the slightest services were paid for at twice, thrice anel four times their value, and money abstracted from the public till on no pretext at all —our Federal Granel Jury has given us a splendid —though for the community a sorry— account. Space will not permit us here even to summarize their findings. Suffice it to say that the annals of no municipal government of the mainland can show a page more elark than that writ by the men we sent to make our laws ami spenel the money they held in trust for the community. It is a great pity that the Federal Court cannot mete out justice to these, for we hail as well present them with their liberty as try them before such juries as the 'Territorial courts are proelucing at present. Look at the Jones murder trial! Every white man is, on one technicality or another, to be excused, anel Jones to be trieel by a jury as incompetent to try the simplest case as a class from kindergarten.

President Fuller writes as follows: "Homes or retreats for missionaries or other Christian workers in need of and recuperation have repeatedl) demonstrated their usefulness ami economy in Christian work. Auliurmlale-, Clifton Springs, ( tberlin have long been doing their very beautiful work in this line. The first place on the Pacific cpasl to undertake an organized work of this kind is Saratoga, in Santa Clara county, California, most delightfully situated on the southern and western side of the Santa Clara valley and reaching up into the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. The place is one of surpassing beauty anel variety of scenery, with a climate equable, healthful and free to a remarkable degree from insect pests anel other annoying conditions. The soil is fertile, specially aelapteel to fruit-growing and gardening. The' roads are' good, and indeed all the physical conditions of life are as nearly perfect as it has ever been my lot to find. "Some of the large-hearted members of the Congregational church in this favored nook were moved to begin an organized effort to provide and offer special facilities for the above class of workers on furlough or for any cause needing rest. A company was organized under the laws of California authorized to raise' funds anel hold property for this purpose. A circular was issued by Rev. E. S. Williams, secretary of this society, inviting co-operation in this work and offering such assistance as the means of the society allowcel to missionary workers in neeel of rest.

Wight As worker in charge' at the Waiakea Social Settlement since' January, 1903, I cannot write of wonders accomplished thus far, although the attendance at the morning free dispensary has been surprising, considering die lack of faith we expected to meet. The Dispensary opened February 11 with a fairly wellstocked room, much of the supplies being furnished by the Hilo Hospital, with the consent of the Hoard of Health. With the exception of Sunda) mornings (when we only open in emergencies), and about a 111011th of illness, the dispensary has been patronized with a daily average ot about eleven patients. Some mornings the number has reached twenty-six. This work is satisfactory. Over 1 seventy have received attention under the government doctor's direction in their homes.

Why? let some one tell. Now that we are in the heat of politics, one notices an oft recurring phenomenon. It comes out of race differences. It is a curious thing that most of the prominent Hawaiians of today, —the leaders of the people, have white blood in them. Without mentioning names, it only requires a casual glance at such names to prove this point. Now, when these leaders begin to draw race lines they invariably speak of "our" blood, —"our" race, etc. One might fairly ask, "which blood?" There is never any misunderstanding however; they always mean their native blood, even though some of them are very Anglo-Saxon in appearance. Why this is so, it were hard to say, but here, as in America, the men of the most bit- ' The appointment by Pre- Governor Dole sdent j Roosevelt of Govto Become a ernor San ford B.

It places the approval of the Washington Administration upon a public officer who has been maligned by partisan enemies almost beyond any man of his time, and furnishes an example of how steadfastness of purpose in maintaining a right course has been finally able to triumph over the unscruplous and relentless persecutions of those whose hatred he had incurred in the discharge of his manifest duty. The calm and No. ii judicial attitude and temper maintained by Governor Dole through all the trying experiences through which he has passed since he became prominent in public affairs ten years ago, is sure to give him a secure place in the history of this Territory. The Territory as well as Mr. Dole himself is to be congratulated on the fact that his services are still to be retained in a position in which he will be able to enjoy the fruits of his past efforts in a life of greater quiet to himself, and in which the Islands will still have the benefit of his wisdom and experience. Mr. George R. Carter whom the President names as Governer Dole's successor will come to his office with many questions still unsolved, but with many of the olel elifficulties which confronted his predecessor removed. From the latter point of view he will be in a sense the first governor to be begin his administration uneler really American conditions. It is gratifying that a citizen of the Territory has received this appointment. REV. OLIVER P. EMERSON. It is with the deepest regret that we the resignation of our brother who has for fifteen, years past occupied the office of Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, a very much longer time than any other incumbent has held that office. The members of the Board anel its committees will greatly miss Mr. Emerson's genial smile, as well as his prudent and experienced counsel anel his absorbing interest in the work of Christ's Kingdom in Hawaii. Mr. Emerson's resignation of the office became consequent upon the severe measures for retrenchment of expense necessitated by the late financial depression in Hawaii, and diminished receipts of our Treasury, combined with the fact that at this difficult juncture the American Board finally withdrew the aid which it had hitherto lent, throwing upon the Hawaiian Board the support of Mr. Emerson and some others. It was in 1888, that at the earnest call of our Board, after the death of the former Secretary, Rev. A. O. Forbes, Mr. Emerson resigned an important pastorate which he had occupied for seven years in Peacedale, R. I. His work there had been most successful, particularly among the operatives of that manufacturing town, and his departure was attended note �4 THE FRIEND by the strongest expression of regret from leading members, especially of the Hazarel family, a tlaughtcr of which became the tlistinguisheel head of Wellesley College.

ALICE GORDON GULICK. VV« are called to chronicle .the passing away of one of the noblest and most successful missionary women of this age, one whom we have learned to admire and love, not only from report, but by brief personal intercourse during two visits to Honolulu in her husband's native land. Mrs. Gulick was born in Boston, Aug. Bth, 1847, the daughter of James M. Gordon, for sixteen years the treasurer of the American Board. She was educated at Mt. Holyoke, and for two years teacher there. In Dec, 1871, she was married to Rev. Wm. H. Gulick, and went with him at once to Spain to open the mission there. For thirty years they conducted that work with ever growing success amid severe obstacles. Their center of action was San Sebastian, which has grown into a great center of Protestant education and evangelization. The most notable feature of that mission was Mrs. Gulick's great Institute for the education of Spanish girls, which with a corps of able assistants she concluded for thirty years, removing it at the opening of the Spanish-American war to the adjacent city of Biarritz in in France. So remarkable was the success of that school, that latterly its graduates repeatedly carried away the highest prizes in examinations at the University of Madrid. That work has culminated in the establishment at Madrid upon an excellent site of its own. of the International Institute for Girls, created chiefly by Mrs. Gulick's persistent and devoted personal efforts. The noble founder did not survive to witness the opening of the Institute this autumn. After a summer in Switzerland in failing health, she was taken to the home of Lady Henry Somerset in London where she nassed away September 14th. The urgent necessities of the opening of the Institute dearest to her heart had forbidden her husband to attend her last days. ()ne has but to glance at the strong, sweet, benignant features of the picture of Mrs. Gulick to recognize there a most remarkable personality. Those who knew her have glorifieel her youthful vivacity and enthusiasm, growing into spirituality and consecration, with a power of purpose anil benevolent action which Mrs. wrought its wondrous result. Gulick was the strong and successful pioneer of Woman's Education in Spain. With all the power of her loving and open-hearted nature she identified herself from the first with Spain's repressed mothers and daughters, and gave the whole strength of her genial and forceful life to their emancipation. She will always be remembered as the successful leader in that great work. It was her exhausting labor in procuring the means for the Institute that shortened her life. Mrs. Gulick's loving nature made her a blessed minister of comfort at the close of the Spanish war to the suffering Spanish prisoners at Portsmouth, and afterwards an angel of cheer and enthusiasm to the crowd of teachers from Cuba who were the guests of Harvard College. For these tasks, both her knowledge of Spanish and her loving personal magnetism eminently qualified her. Our eleepest sympathies are with the bereaved husband, who yet is blessed in over thirty years companionship with so rare and noble a soul. Together they had lately passed through successive sore and sudden bereavements of their two noble sons, to whom the mother is now restored in the home above. There many saintly ones have greeted her, high in noS. E. B. bility among them all. SIXTY YEARS AGO. The following extracts are taken from the November issue of Tiik Friend of 1843: (The U. S. Corvette "Cyane" brings George Brown, Commissioner from the Government of the United States), "on landing he was received by l'aki, and other chiefs, and presented his credentials to her Excellency, the Premier, at her own resilience." (At one o'clock that clay the Commissioner is introduced to the King—Kamehameha 111, and, among other things, he says) "Allow me to congratulate your Majesty upon the interest taken in you and your country by one of the most powerful anel free nations of the earth, as evinceel by the unanimous vote of its Representatives that a diplomatic intercourse should be opened with you. It must be a matter of great satisfaction to your Majesty to think, that while not a quarter of a cen,tury has elapsed since your country was in a state of heathenism, such progress has been maele in civilization and Christianity (Frank, wasn't it? and just a little condescending, too. One cannot help noticing that Commissioner Brown distinguishes "civilization" and "Christianity" and well he might. Poor King "Kaukeoli" was doing his best to ward off some of our American, French and English civilization, in the shape of liqours,—ineffectually too.) "Next to the gratitude clue from you to the Almighty Disposer of events, you owe under Him to those who for the welfare of your people, left their friends and country to teach them the blessing's of Christianity and the arts (some arts, Ed.) of civilization" (It seems to be probable that neither Commissioner Rrown nor the King were much accustomed to the word "Damn" before the worel missionary,— but we live in an age of progress) Religious Tolerance (Certainly "unhappy collisions" having taken place between the Catholics and the protestants, Kamehameha makes the following proclamation:—) Ist.

Between Sep. ioth and Nov. ist, there were over sixty vessels to arrive at Honolulu and thirty for Lahaina. Examination shows that this number is somewhat less than the usual quota for the winter months, particularly at Lahaina, where the whalers congregated. EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF REV. EPHRAIM W. CLARK, A MEMBER OF THE SECOND REINFORCEMENT OF MISSIONARIES TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. March 29, 1828. Off Hawaii! Last night as the wind blew almost a gale, and the Captain supposed we were near land, he shortened sail. This morning about seven o'clock, Hawaii, to our no small gratification, burst upon our view. Soon after, we hatl a delightful prospect of Mauna Kea. It raised its snow-white summit far above the clouds. We are now directing our course towards Oahu, with Hawaii and Maui in full view. March 30th. Sabbath. Through the good providence of God we have arrived off the harbor of Honolulu. Soon after our afternoon worship we hove to and a boat came to us from a ship laying at anchor. We have learned to our no small satisfaction that the missionaries now at Honolulu, are all well. Our feelings on approaching the spot to which we have been anxiously looicing forward for five long months, can be better imagined than described. Nothing can exceed the wildness of the scenery which Oahu presents as now seen from the ship. Among these moun- arrival. tains and vallies we expect to spend our lation: days in guiding souls to Jesus. We hope soon to greet some of the beloved missionaries, and rejoice and praise God with them on our safe arrival. March 31st. We have at length arrived safely at our long desired haven. Soon after we anchored last evening, we directed a line to Mr. Bingham, informing him of our arrival. Before dark, Messrs. Bingham, Goodrich, and Chamberlain came out to the Parthian and bid us a joyful welcome. The interview seemed more like the meeting of long absent friends than entire strangers, immediately on entering the cabin, Mr. Bingham exclaimed, "The Lord has been better to us than our fears." The next day Mr. Goodrich came on board to assist us in preparing to land. About eleven o'clock, most of us with part of our effects, landed on the beach about half a mile from the mission house, where we were met by Mr. Bingham anel Mr. Hunnewell. The beach was so thronged by natives eager to shake hands with the new missionaries, we could hardly press our way through them. Aloha, Aloha, resounded from a thousand mouths. ()n our way to Mr. Bingham's, we called on Kaahumanu, (the Queen Regent) and were severally in-a troduced to her. She received us with smiling countenance, and said she was much rejoiced on account of our arrival. She accompanied us to Mr. Bingham's where we met several other chiefs. We then united in offering to God a tribute of thanks for our safe arrival, and our supplications for the continuance of His blessing upon this favored mission. April 2nd. When we arrived, Boki, (the Governor of Oahu) was absent. He returned today, and soon informed Mr. Bingham, that he should be happy to meet the new missionaries. We immediately paid him our respects at the house of Kekuanaoa the commander of the standing army. Boki and the General met us a little distance from the door and politely escorted us into the house. We were then introduced to Madam Boki, Nahienaena, sister of Kauikeaouli the young King, and several other chiefs. After we were seated, Boki handed Mr. Bingham a line containing an expression of his feelings on our arrival. The following is a literal translation, "Love to you ye missionaries who have now come hither to this place. I am made joyful by you on account of your arrival here. It is God doubtless that has caused you and us to meet together just now. My heart is sorry that J was residing in another place. Na Boki." After Boki's communication was read and translated, Kaahumanu presented in writing her views and feelings on our The following is a literal trans- "Kind affection for you all, ye missionaries all, the company of kindred beloved. This is my sentiment, the love and great joy of my heart towards God, on account of His sending you hither to help us, that you and we may dwell together in the shade of His salvation, and in His name that we anel you may labor affectionately for Him. Joy is mine and great rejoicing towards you all on account of His again to support us here. sending you hither My heart thanks Gotl for our being now blessed by His causing us now personally to meet together.

After they were read and replied to, a large and elegant Bible which we brought was presented to Boki and another to Kaahumanu; also to Kaahumanu, an engraving of the Lord's Supper. Boki wished to know if the Bible contained the whole of the Word of God, and how long it would take to translate it all into the native language. After this interview we all repaired to the chapel to attend a stated service in the native language. There were a thousand or more attentive hearers present. It was a sight truly delightful to the heart of a Christian. At the close of the service two couple neatly dressed were united in marriage. Boki accompanied the missionaries to Mr. Bingham's, and took tea with them. (To be continued.) CHANGES IN CHINESE CIVILIZATION. (A part of an address before the Honolulu Ministerial Union, Oct. 18, by the Rev. W. D. Westervelt.) A student of Chinese affairs must recognize the dawn of great changes. Day rapidly follows dawn, and the changes are historical while we are looking for them in prophecy. This is very greatly true in China. While we read of superstitious China fearing disturbance of ancestors by the puffing of steamers and the song of winds along telegraph wires, the Chinese themselves organize and control the China merchant steamship line which sends a host of steamers of all sizes throughout all the waters ways of the empire without any regard to ancestors. Telegraph lines are stretched from province to province, sometimes operated by Chinese themselves. Far inland we see the Chinaman on a bicycle outrunning the ancestral ghosts. Railroads are projected and in some places are under operation.

The secontl incident is brought out by the story of a temperance meeting held in 1847 near Springfield, 111., in which Lincoln manifestetl his interest in saving boys: "A large company of people bail gathered to hear the famous young lawyer. The meeting was helel out of doors, uneler the shade of the trees, and after an earnest plea for total abstinence from the use of intoxicating beverages, Mr. Lincoln proeluced a paper upon which the feillowing pleelge was printed as a heaeling: ' 'Whereas, the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is productive of pauperism, degradation and crime, and believing it is our duty to discourage that which proeluces more evil than gootl, we therefore pledge ourselves to abstain from the use of intoxicating lii|tiors as a beverage.' " "Mr. Lincoln told the people that he had signed this pleelge and was inviting his neighbors to do the same. Many signed the pledge. " 'The first thing I knew, said Breckinridge in telling Dr. Russell the story, "the speaker was standing in front of me. He said to me, 'Sonny, don't you want your name on this pledge?' I saiel, 'Yes, sir.' He said, 'You know what it means, that you are not to drink intoxicating liquor?' I said 'Yes, sir.' He asked me my name and I toltl him 'Cleopas Breckenridge.' He wrote my name upon the paper anil then he transferred the paper to his left hand and holding the paper and pencil in his left hand, he leaned over and laid his right hand upon my head and said: 'Now, Sonny, you keep that pledge, and it will be the best act of your life.' " "Breckenridge told Russell his life story since that time. He related how he had passed through numerous temptations, both to sell liquor and to drink it, when he kept tavern on the old trail across the plains, 50 miles east of Denver, Colorado, and while he served four years as a soldier in the Civil War, but he resisted all such temptations and has become a prosperous, happy old farmer with his children and grandchildren growing up about him and he says the pledge he made to Abraham Lincoln has been one of the essential elements in the success of his lie." THE FRIEND GENERAL COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY On Wednesday, the 28th of October, the community was plunged into universal and heartfelt grief by the call from our midst of Judge Morris M. Estee. For the past three years, since these islands became a territory of the United States, there has not been a more prominent nor a more universally respected man in our midst than the late judge of the United States District Court. The eulogies lavishetl upon him from the pulpit and in the press leave nothing to be said in this cursory anel brief review. But the sorrow of all who knew him, anel the deep grief of his intimate friends bear testimony stronger than any words could do of the character of the man. Ile was the great example as he was the great exponent of American citizenship in its best, its broadest and its truest sense; a man whose integrity was unimpeachable, whose sense of justice and right was, as far as man's may he, infallible; whose interest and whose frienelships were broad anel far-reaching; whose knowleelge of the law was great, whose life was pure, whose relations with his fellow men were so faultless that even in the heat of poli- tical strife they remained unassailable and unassaileel. Most sincerely do we hope that his successor will be in this community the power for righteousness, honesty and truth as he to whose memory a thousand of his fellow citizens united in paying their last tribute as his body left for its final resting place on the steamship Alameda. Another noted citizen has, this month, been taken from us. Robert Wilcox has for twenty years been one of the most conspicuous figures in our life here. From the time that he was chosen as one of the Hawaiian youth to he sent abroad and educated to the clay of his death his name has been known wherever Hawaii and its history has been heard of. He has won notoriety as the organizer of two insurrections, as the recognized political leader of the Hawaiians and as the first delegate of this Territory to Congress. With no great mental acumen, with no great knowledge of the world, with no remarkable presence, adelress or physique, we look in vain for the reason of the power he held over his countrymen. We believe, however, that by many of the Hawaiians he was sincerely beloved, and although his last rites have been marred to make political capital, we, with the rest of the community must needs pay our respects to the memory of one who has, so largely by his own efforts, raised and helel himself in so high a position among his countrymen. In the courts much work has been done since last we reviewed their acts. In the court just left vacant by the death of Judge Estee an unrelenting and resistless warfare is being waged on those elespicable creatures who gain a livelihood by the barter of the virtue of another. No movement has ever been put on foot in Honolulu which deserves and which should receive such hearty support from every Christian citizen as this. It is pitiable that any human being should sink to the level of her who gains a livelihood on the streets of this city, but that she should be forceel into such a life by some accursed brute in order that he may reap the gains of her tlisgrace should rouse every man in the community to action and the war on such should never cease till the last be elriven from our shores. This, together with other matters as yet unknown to the community at large, has occupied the attention of the Feeleral Grand Jury. Rumor, however, has it that they have also taken up the matter of the missing vouchers of the last House of Representatives. The destruction of such papers not only is a disgrace to the community but as well an offence against the laws of the United States. It is to be hopeel that a fearless Federal Court will lay its hand so heavily on the offenders that this scheme of dishonesty anay never be tricel again. . The final and most serious attack on the liquor laws of the Territory was made this month before Judge Gear. His Honor, however, in holding that all the liquor laws of the Republic are still in force whether specially re-enacted or not has saveel US from a spectacle eif a community with little if any restraint on the liquor traffic. The notorious suit against Brewer & Company, Ltd., for $113,000 instituted by a hui of young men of the community merely as a matter of speculation, was given its death blow by a ruling of the late Juelge Estee that the offence, if any was committed, occurred before the law framed to punish it was enacted. The burden of paying the $1445.93 of costs now falls on the speculators. �.

In the first place, he is a leader in the sports and has lent an impetus to football which will develop the first football team that ever came out of the school. He does not forget the sick at the hospital, and above all he is present the highest of ideals of Christian living, and is giving utterance in no uncertain way to the one gospel, the love of God through Jesus Christ.

One of the most enjoyable gatherings of the people from the Far East, was a social meeting held in the grounds of the Japanese church of Hilo. Mr. Yajima, the pastor, sent out invitations, to the Chinese and Koreans, to meet with his Japanese Christians in a social meeting of Oriental Christians. It was a pleasant time to get acquainted with our brothers from over the water. By the siele of the church door a large inscription was written in twelve Chinese characters : "Tung Yeting Kituk kau to lun hop tai tsan nnik vi." In Japanese it read: "To yo Kiristei Kyo to, den get tai shim beiku kwai." In Korean the sounds would still be different, but since Chinese, Koreans anel Japanese, although speaking different languages, all make use of the Chinese character, the meaning was plain to all. Literally the inscription reaels: "Eastern eieean Christ's church disciples joined united kindly harmony meeting," oras we would say: "A union social meeting of Oriental Christians." All entered into the spirit of the gathering, anel there was friendly converse between Japanese and Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, often indeed, where the spoken language would fail, by the use of those wonderful t hi nese characters. Mr. Mo, the Chinese preacher, made a short address in Chinese, which was put into English by Mr. Thwing, anel again into Japanese by Dr. Scudder. He said as follows: "It is a great pleasure to be here at this meeting of our Oriental Christians, coming from different lands, but bound together by the love of Christ. That love iiule'eel woulel be able to make a tunnel through the very earth itself, anel join the Occielcntal to the Oriental. "There is only one elraw back to our meeting, anel that is the fact that we cannot well understand each other. That Tower of Babel has well mixeel up the language of man, but one thing, I believe. Jesus Christ is building a tower in his church, which will ineleeel overtop the tower of old Babel. Christ's tower will indeed reach up to heaven, forming a stairway f<ir man from earth to God. This tower of the church will bring all nations together in happy unity and hasten the time when we shall have one God, one country and one language." There was a song by the children of the llonomu hoariling school, the Koreans sang in their own language, and a picture was taken of the gathering. All enjoyed the occasion greatly and will hope to meet in this social way again at some future time.

In the domestic department all the work is done by the girls; washing, ironing and all cleaning, besides the preparation of food for both teachers and girls. An average of twenty-five loaves of bread are baked daily. Cakes, cookies, bread, doughnuts, etc., are made and sold by the girls and often twenty-five dollars is taken in at one of these sales. After a year's training, one of the older girls is quite capable of taking charge of this department, and in the absence of the matron takes entire charge of the girls and work. A cooking class has been formed and great interest is shown in this new line of work, although we have not the equipment for more than a limited training. Each girl's work is changed at the end of each term so that she may have the advantage of getting as much as possible in the year. At the expiration of each term the progress which each girl has made is most encouraging. We find the girls interested and eager to learn to do their work in the very best way. PORTUGUESE WORK IN HONOLULU. By Rev. A. V. Soares. The last Sunday in September was our Sunday school "Rally Day." There was a fine attendance and nearly all present, even many in the infant department responded to the roll-call with a scripture verse. Rev. G. L. Pearson of the Methodist church dropped in on us and encouraged us by a few kindly words. One of the new features of our work is a sewing class for girls, which meets in the Sunday-school Infant Department room of the church. It numbers twentyfour bright, interesting girls, not only of our own, but some from outside. The Ladies' Missionary Society are having the pew cushions in the Sunday school room renovated. We were glad to see Rev. W. D. Westervelt at our church prayer-meeting a few weeks ago. He gave us a little talk which encouraged us and gladdened our hearts. We are always pleased to welcome those who are interested in us. at our services. Good attendance and good behavior still prevail at our street meetings at Kewalo. On returning from one of these meetings one night last week we stepped into Mr. Ryder's little mission and enjoyed a short season of fellowship. The parsonage is undergoing much needed repairs.

Five children were receivetl from the Kindergarten. This is the first time such a transfer has been made. The refining influence of the Kindergarten training is noted in the general appearance of the little ones, and in the readiness with which they adapt themselves to their new school surroundings. There has been a marked increase in attendance at the Chinese church services, and Sunday School. One very encouraging feature of the work is, the class of Chinese young men that meet at the settlement Thurselay anel Friday evenings of each week for the study of English; Friday evening being a union of Chinese anel Japanese. At the same time Chinese children are often gathered in groups engaged in games. It is hoped that in seeking for the mastery of a new language there may be found the "unsearchable riches of Christ." three hours at Mokuaweoweo. 18th.—Japanese Ootani, when drunk killed by fall from veranda on Liliha street.

Suppose ten million dollars to be put into a country, in the enterprise of evangelization, and half of it lost, while the evangelization goes triumphantly on. Is it becoming to put on sack-cloth and ashes over the lots? Christians in America lose ten times that —yea, fifty times that sum, every year, in stocks and mines and various .peculations. After the victory of Gettysburg imagine a man walking about the field wringing his hands, and frying: "(), what a loss! Look at this destruction of property, ruined gun-carriages anel caissons and valuables (aerified. Think of the awful expense of ammunition I Why, this one battle has involved a loss of millions and millions of dollars for which we, the people, have toiled so long!" What will any patriotic American say to such an idiot as this? What, then, shall we think of those who shrink from the enterprise of evangelizing the lands that need it most, lest property should lie sacrificed in the process? What shall we think of those who fear to press the work in Lands where the' call is loudest, because <>f the danger to the elollars? Dear Christian people, the Master has charge' of the deillars you devote' to him. Pear not. The Pentecostal Christians lost money too, but the loss was gain, as it is in all victorious progress. It would pay to burn up a large pile of bank notes, if the light of their burning could only enlighten the world. In conclusion: Firstly, no larger proportion of property is destroyed in Turkey than in the United States: secondly, one dollar used in Christian enterprise' in Turkey, accomplishes about as much as ten dollars used for a similar purpose in this country; third, the clanger to the dollars is not the greatest clanger to which Christian! in this worlel are subjected fourth, it is better to trust in the I.old and go ahead, than to lie awake nights with anxiety lest He fail to take care eif what we have elevotcd to his cause.— Comrrcgationalist. : SCIENCE AFFIRMING CREATIVE POWER. One of the most remarkable of the deliverances of scientific men on the subject of religion, whether regarel be had to the standing of the author of the remark, or to the circumstances under which it was uttered, was the eleclaration recently maele before a brilliant assemblage of notable thinkers in London by Lord Kelvin, when he said: "Science positively affirms creative power." The occasion of the remark was a lecture delivered by Professor G. Henslow, on "Present-Day Rationalism; An Examination of Darwinism." On moving a vote of thanks to the lecturer, Lord Kelvin said that he could not agree with the speaker, that science neither affirms nor denies creative power. Science, continued Lord Kelvin, makes every one feel a miracle in himself. It is not in elead matter that we live and move and have our being, but in the creating anel directing power which science compels us to accept as an "article of belief." Men cannot escape from that when they study "the physics and dynamics of living and dead matter all arounel." "Modern biologists are coining once more to a firm acceptance of something, and that is a vital principle." Men "only know God in His works," yet are "absolutely forced by science to admit and to believe with absolute confidence in a directive power— in an influence other than physical, dynamical, electrical forces." Cicero denied that men could come into being by a fortuitous concourse of atoms. Is there, asked Lord Kelvin, anything so absurd as to believe that a number of atoms, by falling together of their own accord could make a sprig of moss, a microbe, a living animal? Men may be free in their thought, be said, but with that freedom of thought they are bound to come' to the conclusion that .science is not antagonistic to religion, but a help for religion. It is perfectly evident from these remarks, and from his known views otherwise expressed, that Lord Kelvin, who is perhaps the le'adint, physicist in the world, believes that science itself afforels a testimony, a real knowledge, that there is a spiritual influence in the' world about us. We are not surprised to read in "The London Times" that Lord TCcay, who presided at University College, at the lecture aforementioned, on the conclusion of Lord Kelvin's short adelress, congratulated the Association before whom it was delivered, on the proceedings that day, adding that it was "a granel thing to hear that prince of science. Lord Kelvin, give his testimony on behalf of religion." In a letter to "The Times" written subsequently to the meeting referred to, Lorel Kelvin toeik pains to discriminate the formation of a crystal from that of living things, saying that the description "fortuitous concourse of atoms" is utterly absurd in respect to the coming into existence, the growth, or the continuation of the molecular combinations presenteel in the boelies of living things. "Here," writes this great scientist, "scientific thought is compelled to accept the idea of Creative Power," and he indulges in this piece of reminiscence: "Forty years ago, I asked Liebig, walking, somewhere in the country, if he believed that the grass and the flowers which we saw around us grew by mere mechanical forces.

( )ne No. 10 of the Japanese consuls, who made an extended tour of observation to many, if not to all of our Hawaiian sugar plantations, volunteered the statement that on those plantations upon which Christian evangelists were located, there he found his countrymen living under more favorable conditions than upon the plantations destitute of such teachers. On the 4th of last October, Mr. K. Ishida, who had completed three years of faithful work at Lihue, Kauai, took to himself a wife, and soon after with, his voiing bride left for San Francisco and Oberlin, at which later place he has been fitting himself for further work in the gospel ministry. Fortunately we were able promptly to place in the vacant field, Mr. J. Fukuda who has been faithfully at work there the past year. Just a year ago, Rev. H. Kozaki, once the president of the Doshisha University, of Kyoto, and now perhaps the most prominent of the Christian pastors of the capital city of Tokyo, completing his two months' visit to these Islands, and to all our Japanese mission stations, except the two on Kauai, took steamer with his wife for return to Japan. Six days before Mr. Kozaki sailed away, there arrived under the auspices of our Hoard, Rev. and Mrs. S. ()kubo, Christian workers of several years' experience in their native land. Under the stimulation of Mr. Kozaki's lead, the members of the Nuuanu street Japanese Congregational church, made a brave resolve to become a self-supporting church, calling Mr. Okubo to become their pastor, and pledging themselves for his support, and also for the funds required for running expenses. With the cordial approval of the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Okubo was released from his connection with the body who had met the most of the expenses of himself and wife in reaching Honolulu, and promptly enter upon the active duties of the pastorate. The formality of a regular installation has not yet taken place, and acknowledgement of ecclesiastical relationship to any body of Christians has not yet been made, but should not long be deferred. By the calling of a pastor, Mr. Okuniura who for nine years had been the efficient and successful leader of this first Japanese Congregational church, was released for other service. Under his lead a flourishing work has been established �THE FRIEND 4 among the Japanese living in the Makiki division of our fast expanding city. A chapel service has also within the year been organized under the hand of Rev. S. Kodama in the newly developing portion of our city lying S. E. of the entrance to the harbor, called Kakaako, where a very mixed population are jostling each other and of which the Japanese constitute a large element. Here in a swarming hive of humanity, where on almost every corner our paternal government has |>ermitted the opening of a liquor saloon, our faithful preacher is lifting up his voice declaring to men the pathway of life. Here the fountains of life and of death spring side by side. In February, Mr. and Mrs. N. Washiyama arrived for evangelistic work, and in March entered upon the Kohala field, which had lain unoccupied for eleven months, to our great loss. In Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Miss Koka, and other Christian friends in Kohala, the Washiyamas find most cordial and sympathetic helpers. The hope of the future lies in the children now coming on. At many points we find that a large portion of the pupils in the public schools are Japanese children. Our evangelists are thoroughly awake to the importance of reaching the children. The two flourishing hoarding schools for Japanese children at I lonoltilu and Honomu attest the estimate of our Japanese helpers to the importance of this work, and also the eagerness of the loving parents that their children should he surrounded with good influences and continued in touch with their own people and in acquaintance with their mother tongue. The influence for good of these two Christian hoarding schools with their 150 scholars, is inestimable. This gospel influence reaches not the children alone, but the parents and the whole surrounding community. Rev. D. Scudder, D.D., and Mrs. Scttdder after a year of preparation in Japan arrived May Bth, and entered at once upon work for our Japanese community. During his sojourn in Honolulu, Dr. Scudder has met many of those Japanese for whom he brought messages of love and remembrance from kindred in Japan. In .pursuance of this scheme of entering Japanese hearts by bringing to them messages from distant loved ones, Dr. Scudder has visited Maui and touched at Kohala, Hawaii. Regarding this kind of service the philosopher poet has said, "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." The success and fruitage of such a work of patience and love is assured.

First, what do they teach us as to kahunaism? We find it still a power in the land, yet I affirm my belief that its power has been much broken and that it is no longer such a menace to the life of the Hawaiian as it was a decade and a half ago. I remember how it surprised and startled me on my arrival in the field in 1889. I could not believe at first what was found to be true, that it lay like a pall on the entire native Christian community, that pastors as well as people were affected by it, that it dominated the church as well as the court, and that the most progressive men and women of the Hawaiian churches felt appalled by the outreach of it's activity. What was said of it by those who knew was hardly credited, so insidious and so secret were it's operations, and it was only by persistence that the churches were finally brought to action. At the annual meeting of the Hawaiian F.vangelical Association held in June, 1889, a committee was appointed to enquire into "the corrupt practices which vitiate our Christian life." This committee, of which Chief Justice Jtidd was chairman, secured a great mass of testimony from the pastors and leading laymen of the churches. The Chief Justice, who was at first a disbeliever in the charges that were made, became convinced of their truth. Then began the crusade against thiscolossal evil. The last years of Rev. James Bicknell were spent in leading that crusade, and he won among the natives a noble following. Two Sabbaths ago we ordained a native, who mentioned Mr. Bicknell as the one who had broken the power of his superstitious beliefs and brought him light. Two days later, when out on the wharf I heard this man discredit the story of a shark-god (aumakua) told by an ignorant fisherman, I could but feel that he had learned his lesson wisely. Where fifteen years ago, many native pastors confessed to being under the spell of kahunaism, there is hardly one today who does not stand ready to denounce it in his pulpit. Again, it is my belief that the general moral condition of the natives has improved, notwithstanding the corrupting, unsettling influences I have mentioned and that many have been unable to stand up against the temptations that have so fiercely assailed them. Many men and women, young and old, are living worthy Christian lives and are acting as well tried leaders of their people. With these, education has resulted in an improved home life, and a growing public sentiment working towards a better state of affairs. When all is said, the fact holds that a powerful influence for good goes forth from our hoarding schools and from our government schools, and that the tone and service of the latter has become more moral, more Christian, more effective. Not enough praise has been given to the good men and women who have labored in the schools for the betterment of the Hawaiian people. These years have been difficult and trying ones as a period of transition from the use of the mother tongue in instruction to the use of English and, for the time being, intellectual developarrested. But now that the change has been effected, and the difficulty of the adoption of a new language has passed, and its riches are coming within the grasp of the rising generatron, we may hope for great gains, and for added help where the kindergarten is at work upon life at its earliest and most impressionable age. One mark of advance is the careful scrutiny which is given the lives of the clergy. A man living an immoral life cannot now hold a pulpit and wield an influence. Churches and associations are more inclined towards acts of discipline which once were so difficult of achievement. Having had to conduct at least ten cases of discipline in the native ministry during the last fifteen years, I can testify to a quickening of the Hawaiian conscience. The first case was carried after long argument and pleading by a majority of two: in the last case there was a practically unanimous vote, the motion to discipline having been brought by the native pastors themselves ( >ne further point ought to be noted. In the churches, there is a decrease of tlte race feeling There is much still, more than there ought to be, but it is not virulent as in the past. During the days of the Provisional Government there were churches where it was difficult for a white man to get a hearing. Men who would then leave the church on my coming into the milpit, now listen to me trladlv. Though the political issues of the day stir animosity in the breasts of some, the feeling of the Hawaiian people toward the honest and friendly white man is far more kindly than it was. and they are amenable to the right kind of influence. Still further, during the last few years the membership of the churches has steadily increased. In iB<)6, there were but one hundred Hawaiians received into the churches, but since 1808, the year in which our nolitical status was decided, and during which the number of receptions was 1 17. the churches have been steadily rallying in this respect, and during the year just passed, 284 members were added to the roll. There is no reason for discouragement in the Hawaiian work, it is rather a time when it can be successfully pressed, In ment was . our dealing with the Hawaiian there is need of continued forbearance and active co-operation of the white missionary. The signs of the times in the churches of 1 lawaii encourage us to believe that with patient and wise leadership they will hold their own for many years to come, and that with a prudent expenditure in their behalf, their condition may be greatly improved. O. P. Emerson. OPEN LETTER. To the Editor of The Friend: Allow me to call your attention to a statement in your issue of September in which you say that I own a part of the original tract of land at Punahou which had been given to my father by the na- tive chiefs. Will you in your next issue please correct the above statement by saying that I do not own a single square foot of land anywhere. In the address to which you refer I offered to purchase a third of an acre of that land with a legacy left me by a sister, and to donate the same to Kawaiahao Church, provided the church would erect on it a building suitable for a parsonage. In reference to my mother's wish, you state that mv mother in 1843, expressed the wish in a letter to a friend that that land might be made to contribute to the support of Kawaiahao Church. By reference to that letter which was published in the Commercial Advertiser of August 31st, you will notice that she was giving a statement of what her plans had been several years before. It is due to her memory that I here repeat her own words, to which I desire to call careful attention. She wrote, "When Punahou passed into other hands I endeavored to regard it as a matter which the public good required; and though thoughts of public good of another kind had filled my mind, drawn forth my plans, and moved my feeble frame to many an hour's hard labor on that land, my thoughts were not disturbed by it. The underscoring is my own, but I make it to call attention to the fact that she was reviewing what had taken place years before without expressing a wish to undo it. Ido not remember her ever saying or intimating anything in her family that indicated that she regretted having given her approval to the disposition of the estate which my father had made. It is true that in that same letter she says, "There is one object for which I have labored—that church—my thoughts turn there, and I am disquieted;" (not "I am disputed," as reported in the Commercial Advertiser.) It was doubtless the ease, not that she would, at the time she was writing have had the land passed (Continued on Page 8). �7 THE FRIEND .The Friend from the beginning has liquor of all kinds when the fact is noted an outspoken temperance paper, that the Negro, Torto Rican, Portuguese r Rev.

The Sheriff amount of drunkenness and especially in ought not to be so modest as to ascribe the number of arrests for drunkenness in the results of these arrests to the beer these Islands—notably in Honolulu. He : ascribes this decrease to the recent increased number of lieer saloons. His statement has had great weight with a number of people, and deserves some careful study. It is to be hoped that there is less drunkenness—but we are not at all sure that this is a fact, because we find an increased demand for liquor licenses—and no decrease in the number of saloons. Less drunkenness will naturally make less liquor business. There ought to be less demand for saloons. Then again we all know that the Sheriff would like to have a larger police force in order to be able to reach more perfectly the outskirts of the city. With the spread of saloons, drunkenness and the need of arrests become more difficult for the police department to reach. It is a question whether even with the decrease in residents there is a decrease of drunkenness, although it is what we wish with all our hearts. THSERIFF'S IGURES. In his annual report to Governor Dole, covering the period from July I, 1902, to July 1, 1903, the Sheriff gives the following figures: In Honolulu the arrests for drunkenness numbered 1102, divided by months as follows: July (1902), 127; August, 99; September, 115; October, 83; November, 69; December, 100; January (1903), 89; February, 87; March, 74; April, 69; May, 86; June, 104. It seems strange that a statement favoring an increased number of beer saloons for the public weal could ever have been placed by any sane man by the side of the above figures, and the figures quoted in proof of the statement. The Sheriff knows that Primo beer saloons were running in full force in July, 1902, when 127 arrests were made. The U. S. District Court in California a short time ago upheld the contention of the Anti-Saloon League that these saloons were illegally licensed. By the last of September, 1902, these saloons were closed. In October, �THE FRIEND 8 the month after these saloons were out of business, the arrests fell from 115 to 83. Then as long as there were no Primo beer saloons the decrease in the number of arrests continued. Of course this decrease was due to the beer saloons, and if the Sheriff would say it was due to the closed saloons we might agree with him. This decrease continued until in April, 1903, there were 69 arrests without beer saloons as against 127 in July, 1902, with beer saloons. But the Legislature passed the beer bill in April, 1903, over the Governor's veto. At once applications for beer saloon linceses were poured into the Treasurer's office and were speedily and numerously granted with the result that in June, the number of arrests had increased to 104, an increase of 50 per cent in two months. The Sheriff's own figures prove the absolute untrastworthiness of the Sheriff's statement concerning beer saloons. This question would not have been worthy of such careful analysis if the statement had not been made by one whose, position should give his opinion weight. Many persons have been deceived by it. The real fact is that the argument for the saloon as a public beneficiary is one of the most fallacious arguments ever offered to a thoughtful public. It is said that the government needs the license money, but the cost of arrests, trials and punishments, amounts to a far greater expense to the government than can possibly be ballanced by the few thousand dollars received in licence fees. Meanwhile the government is continually made poorer in the poverty of its citizens. The destroyed business, the wrecked homes, the pauperized and ignorant children made by saloons, are a burden of great weight upon any government as well as upon the family itself. The benefit of saloons! Even the saloon keeper laughs at any credulous man who puts forth such a statement in good faith. W. D. Westervelt.

Not only are the plantations to be visited and those who do not know the gosped to be reached, but also as in Apostolic times, a large part of the missionary's work is visiting the churches. As already mentioned, the Hawaiian Board has established in the Islands five well organized churches for the Chinese. All of these churches have a good church building and a native preacher. Preaching services are held regularly every Sunday. The members attend well, although often it necessary for some of them to walk for several miles, and some also will ride horseback for ten or fifteen miles to attend a preaching service.

It has made prominent the rich and outreaching graciousness of God's disposition. It glorifies his Fatherhood which broods in profoundly loving care over the children he has created. But by a common human weakness, it has taken a partial and one-sided view, and has failed to apprehend and appreciate the opposite pole of the Divine character which involves intense antagonism to what is evil and malevolent and false. The "Wrath of God" is a term of frequent occurrence throughout the new Testament, occurring both in Gospels and Epistles. It is something that exists in a dread reality. "God is Love." His nature glows with a love whose tenderness is beyond all human conception. But that love is not to be thought of as excluding abhorrence of sin, and indignation against those who are committed to the evil way. Such a conception of the Divine nature is superficial and shallow. The Father's love not only cherishes and rejoices his children; it also protects them. He must by his holy rule defend them against the incursions of pollution and cruelty. What a fatherhood were that which was incapable of relentless war against the malignant destroyer. The Divine Nature may be conceived of as exhibiting opposite poles. He "is Light, and in him is no darkness at all." And vet his creatures may be abiding in an awful shadow, alienated from the heavenly radiance, and shut out in an "outer darkness." So as to the ineffable Love of God. The opposite and inevitable polarity of that love is an intensity of antagonism to whatever is subversive of the well-being of his children. It is a hatred of sin, and condemnation of all who cherish and support evil. God is the Holy and Righteous One. He intends the moral health and purity of his children. Wherefore the more perfect and boundless His love, the more complete is His wrath against evil. It is futile for any one to assume such a loving kindness in the Heavenly Father as would exclude the element of wrath. Our actual knowledge of God is bounded by what has been divinely revealed to man, and especially by what is revealed through the person and character of our Lord Jesus Christ. The light of Nature is obscure and dim as to the moral disposition of God. Nature abounds in things that are cruel and dark, so that many men have plausibly inferred great lack of benevolence in the Creator. All assurance we have that he is completely loving in disposition comes to us solely from the personal character and disposition of the Lord Jesus, who reflects and reveals to us the Father's nature. Now what disposition did Jesus actually display during his brief ministry? There was certainly a marvellous loving kindness, compassion, mercy, approachableness, and boundless self-devotion in ministering to want and suffering. He was tender-hearted, sympathetic and pitiful to the utmost. So in his parable of the shepherd toiling over stony deserts with bleeding feet, he reclaims his lost sheep. But was loving compassion the entirety of his disposition? How did he feel towards the wolves who cruelly destroyed his sheep? Was there no flaming out of wrath against the wolves? We may say that the severe side, that of righteous anger, was fully represented in our Lord and Master. Perhaps nowhere in Bible literature is the element of holy wrath more vigorously expressed. Read Matthew 23: 13-36, and the parallel passage in Luke n: 37-52. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites," "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" When we thus behold the holy flame of indignation that filled the pure soul of Jesus against inveterate doers of cruel evil, how can we fail to infer that the Father whom he perfectly represented does not feel a like indignation and abhorrence which is fitly termed the "Wrath of God. ?" It must be a necessary truth that the perfection of the Divine benevolence involves the strongest antagonism and opposition to what is polluting and injurious. Conservation of the holy and the reclaiming of the unholy which inspire the deepest desire of the infinite Father's heart necessarily imply destructive war upon whatever opposes those ends. Hence our assertion in Matt. 13: 41, that "His angels shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire ; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Such is the tremendous and resistless sanitation executed by God's love and its attendant, wrath, against evil. Wherein as it seems to us the older creeds erred, and later views have a right tendency, was in the former having erected the so-called justice of God into a vast and rigid central element of his character whose unbending nature excluded the free action of the Father's loving compassion. A more enlightened and more scriptural interpretation gladly recognizes the broader truth that the * * tenderness of his Fatherhood dispenses with the rigid exaction of penalty. There is rich and free forgiveness with God. His grace abounds in healing and uplifting power. His weak, erring and sinful children are dealing with a Father of infinite compassion and almighty grace, who does not exact penalty or visit their iniquities upon the penitent. He forgives. He blots out our transgressions. He remits penalty. He heals, uplifts, accepts, draws close the poor and hungering souls to the fatherly bosom of infinite love. We sinful ones may lift our eyes with glad assurance to the infinite mercy. But all this leaves no comfort of hope to the hard and inveterate sinner. Of those who persistently turn away from the heavenly mercy, determined in sin, it is said that "the wrath of God abideth on them." God's fatherhood it has been well said is not a grandfatherhood; it is not weak and senile. It is holy and protective. S. E. B. MAKAWAO FOREIGN CHURCH. The Foreign Church of Makawao holds a regular service every Sunday morning. The Sabbath School, which convenes just before the preaching service, is well attended, consisting of primary and intermediate departments and a Bible class. Mrs. Fanny M. Simpson has charge of the primary department and conducts it on kindergarten principles, which seems most beneficial and enjoyable to the little children. During the school year about fifty students from Maunaolu Seminary form an interesting part of the congregation. Dr. Beckwith, the beloved pastor of this church, is in good health and able to be much among his people. Occasionally the pulpit is occupied by visiting clergymen from Honolulu and abroad. Contributions are made annually to the support of a Japanese minister in this district, Maunaolu Seminary and the Hawaiian Board. Among the women of the church is an organized missionary society which is a branch of the Woman's Board. They have also a Ladies' Aid Society, the work of which is devoted to this community. This society supports several kindergarten assistants and helps whenever possible in the needs of the church. Kindergartens are carried on at Paia and Haiku plantations. These are maintained by the plantations but are under the direction of a committee from the Ladies' Aid Society. �THE FRIEND 10 and with lightning flashes for a while most terrifying, but most warm and cheering was the welcome when at last the beautiful farm house was reached. first attended worship in the city.

(In Sunday afternoons the Alexander House is open for a short time for singing, reading and story-telling. The Kindergartner and Settlement worker are assisting in the Sunday schools of the Hawaiian and Japanese Christian churches, full-well realizing that the wonderful love ot Jesus Christ is the leaven which will leaven the whole lump of social and educational work and transform the lives of the children. The every day Christ-life among them is the real aim of all effort. It permeates all the phases of the work and appeals silently to the community through the home life of those associated with the Settlement, who live in a comfortable two-story dwelling mi a pretty site near Alexander I louse. To this family circle have been welcomed Mrs. Gay and Miss Ontai, a new teacher in the government school. Mrs. Gay's sympathy with the work is shown by her gratuitous teaching of Japanese women and Japanese young men in English in outside classes, and in Sunday school.

This past summer the work has been finished of putting the entire group of buildings under an iron roof, and now there is a small army of painters at work. The whole dormitory has been overhauled; the teachers' rooms and the parlors repapered the dormitory proper, the sewing room, the dining room, the kitchens and the girls' reception room have been cleansed and repainted. The painters are now at work putting two coats on the exterior of the entire group of Seminary buildings. Much of this work could not have been done it the Honolulu merchants had not made generous contributions towards it. After this work is finished there yet remains to be done the building of a long needed wash and bath house. We want $500 for this object. This with a $50,000 endowment will keep the Board of Managers silent for some years to come. ; The girls are eagerly looking forward to an initiation into the game of basket ball, a set of which has been given the Seminary. Mrs. Bristol, the new principal, comes to her task with a close knowledge of Island life and particularly of work among Hawaiian girls. For sonic years her husband, who is now taking a post graduate course in Berkeley, was registrar of the Kainehameha Schools. Miss Thorn, the primary music teacher, is a graduate of Northfield Seminary and of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Miss Rose continues her duties as matron of the school.

SCHOOLS, ISLAONMDEVIEWS At Kawaiahao Seminary there are 71 pupils at this writing, and it seems as though the school has Opened most auspiciously. It is interesting to note that this native Stronghold is becoming more and more a school for mixed races. When one reflects it will be seen that it is very imixirtant that there be a school where Chinese and Japanese girls can get sonic conception of a Christian home. There arc almost as many girls of other races as there are Hawaiian girls in the school at this time. The Hawaiian girls might go to three other seminaries, but where else could the Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese girls go? Following are the new teachers in the school: Miss Edna Skinner takes Miss Ilerckncr's place in the sewing department ; Miss Nellie Wadington has the primary work; Miss Cooledge (late pf Makawao) takes the music. At Mills Institute there has been a finerally after the vacation. The eclat with which the school closed last year did much to increase the demand for places and there are 70 boarders besides ;• goodly number of day pupils. It is surprising to see what an Americanizing influence that school has had already on the Chinese community. ()ne has only to attend a public function to wonder whether the boys are really Chinese. The spirit of the founder and mainspring of the institution, Mr. F. W. Damon, is always evident, however: the effort, to be sure, is to LAmericanize, but more,—it is to Christianize. Mr. Herlicrt Moore is the only new teacher, while Miss Harriet Austin has charge of the study-hours. Kohala Seminary has a new lease of life. It is at least significant that they have a new principal, too, and the fact that the buildings have been undergoing extensive repairs is not unrelated to be foregoing. Mrs. W. W. Bristol, late of Kaniehameha before going up to Kohala to take charge, made a canvas of the city and collected a considerable amount of materials and money for a complete overhauling of the old buildings, and as there was money laid aside in the treasury for this purpose it is believed that the whole aspect of the place has been much improved. We have not learned as yet whether the number of pupils exceeds that of last year, but it seems quite probable. MacDonahl of Kamehameha have charge there and have liecn able to secure sonic good assistants, we feel sure. These two are peculiarly well adapted to take charge of such a work, and the solid character of the training is assured. It may not be known to many that Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald have most fortunate backing for any religious effort they may feel like putting forth, by reason of the basis on which the government holds control of the property connected with the school. At any time that there should be any religious instruction at variance with the creed expressly stated in the instrument the property reverts to the A. H. C. F. M. with the understanding that a school be carried on in accordance with the plan of the school in its inception by the American Hoard. This good old hoarding school, in which some of the best 1 lawaiians of these and former days were educated, is thereby freed from the absurd ban which "Uncle Sam" in his desire for religious liberty, sees tit to place upon religious instruction in the public schools.

Aii Englishman once complained to the minister of his parish that he preaches on the same subjects over and over again. He admitted that the lessons taught were of the most serious and important nature, but he said that there was not enough variety. "My friend," said the clergyman, "for what purpose do you imagine the precepts are given you?" "That we may obey them, I suppose," said teh man. "You are right," was the reply; "and have you, then, learned to practice all the duties which I have already put before you?" The man was obliged to admit that he had hot as yet. "When you have," said the minister, "I will either put before you some new duties to attend to or else I will keep silence, for practice is the end of preaching, and when your life entirely conforms to the life of Christ you will (Singer) Doherty. aged 37 years.

DEADLY THING. How will you account for this? It challenges the wonder of the world. What, besides greed, is responsible? It is becoming quite common now-a-days to see articles in the religious papers under this or similar titles. This fact may be taken, we believe, to indicate that there is a very wide-spread belief among spiritually minded people that the present conditions in the religious world are not as 'hey should be and that the remedy for them must come from a higher than merely human source. There is good ground for both of these convictions. There probably never has been a time when humanitarian .and philanthropic effort ha* reached such dimensions as it has at the present. There is no end to the enterprises looking to the relief of the material ills of humanity, and money and personal labor have been put into them without limit. All this is good in its place. But it has tended to become the religion of many people, who feel, or try to feel, that when they have expended their means or themselves in the relief of unfortunate humanity, they have fully met their personal responsibility. The result has been a neglect of the more fundamental duties that people owe to God and their own spiritual natures, as well as to deeper needs of the world. This is a condition not without a cause. Under the new conceptions of life and the world which have been current in recent years, the application to the consciences of men "The Cuming Revival" �THE FRIEND 4 of the primary truths of the Scriptures in regard to sin and human responsibility has not been given as large a place in religious preaching and teaching as the human heart requires. The result is seen in laxity in the lives of Christian people and the difficulty in getting supi>ort for Christian work which calls for personal sacrifice and lacks the elements of larity and the spectacular. This process has gone on till the Chris- tian work) is beginning, under the inspiration, we may ho]x', of the Divine Spirit, to awaken to the fact that the hope of the world is not in new knowledge or in scientific methods of meeting its physical needs, although these are good and have their place, but in the forsaking of sin and the acceptance of Jesus Christ. We believe we may hail the indications of this awakening as a sign that God is stirring in the hearts of his people to prepare them for a gracious visitation of His Spirit. Shall we consider it an indication that God is moving for an outpouring of I lis spirit, that, in common with Christian people An Evangelistic added Work for Hawaii elsewhere, earnest men and women here recognize that this is the only solution for many of our religious and social difficulties? There is certainly nothing to forbid it, although we are not called up »H to speak positively on the matter. A movement, however, which is still in its incipient stages, has been begun here. looking toward a general endeavor to bring to bear in the churches in these islands the means of grace by which a renewed interest in spiritual things might beexpectcd to follow. It is too early \vt to make positive statements. Whether this work will be carried out depends on the settlement of some matters not yet fully considered. It had the endorsement of tlie Ministerial Union at its last meeting in June, and of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and five men were appointed by each of these bodies to act as a committee in full charge, with power to appoint other committees in case it seems l>est to make the attempt. The final decision will soon be reached and full announcement made at the proper time. In regard to this movement we bespeak the earnest prayer and consideration of all Christian people. Remember that these islands have witnessed one of the most wonderful revivals known in the hitsory of the Christian church —a revival by which they were born a Christian nation as in a day. There can be no doubt that they are destined yet to play an important part in the history of God's kingdom in the Pacific Ocean and this point Dr. Gulick's contribution must its neighboring nations.

On anese life. The value of such chapters as to �Moral Practice, Are the Japanese Relig- ious? Some Religious Conceptions, and the Buddhist World View cannot be over stated. In a work covering so wide an extent of territory, it is to be expected that some carelessnesses should have slipped in. It is unfortunate that Dr. Gulick should reiterate the misstatement that witches were burned in New England. Some twenty-four or twenty-five were hanged and one was pressed to death, but none were burned. It is not quite true that "whenever a Japanese man walks out with his wife, which, by the way, is seldom, he invariably steps on ahead, leaving her to follow," inasmuch as the occidental practice has already begun to invade the capital and other of the larger ports, and we have several times seen married couples walking in the streets side by side. That the Emperor had any primary responsibility in granting Japan its constitution, or that he would be able to abrogate it, we greatly doubt. So far as the United States are a criterion of the Occident, it seems to us, after close association with laborers in both lands, that truth demands the emphatic reversion of the following: "The lower and laboring classes of Japan seem to have more visible affection for their children than the same classes in the Occident." Bul these are only minor matters. When one remembers that this careful, painstaking, scholarly volume has not fallen from the pen of a quiet student or a college professor with ample opportunity and facilities for research, hut has heen written bit by hit amid myriads of interruptions by a busy missionary whose time is never his own, whose mind and heart are constantly kept full of personal and administrative details, and whose lot is cast in japan where the demands upon the Christian leader are exhaustive, the wonder is that such a splendid piece of work could have been produced at all. Those who miss references to the files of the Asiatic Society, or to the work of others calculated to enrich the material for such a study as that attempted by Dr. Gulick must remember the limitations upon time and especially upon library resources that hedge in the missionary in a far interior station. Even the leisure necessary for a careful revision of the manuscript before it was sent to press could not be had. Under such conditions to have produced one of the books on lapan of the first order, and that, tr«), in a field making large demands upon special scholarship, is an achievement of no little moment upon which we heartily D. S. congratulate the author. DOES GOD'S LOVE SAVE ALL MEN? It is the worthy claim of the "New Theology" which is so prominent in these days that it magnifies the glorious tenderness of Love which reigns in the heart of the Eternal Father. I' discovers Dim to be the compassionate Father of every soul in existence. He yearns with limitless love over every rational being whom He has created. All are His children. This "New" doctrine goes so fatas to say that no corruption, no debasement, no utter cruelty and vileness of character can ever sink a soul beyond His final reach of reclamation. He will search out every lost soul "until He finds in it." None shall finally perish, not even the foulest embodiment of falsity and malignity, or even Satan himself, if there he such a being. 'Hie Love of God avails ultimately to reclaim every lost child. This interesting and flattering teaching is often known as the "Larger Hope" or the "Eternal Hope." Attractive it ma) he to many minds; but. is it true? Do* s this unlimited extension of the precious and tender attributes of the Divine Beirjg express the whole truth about His character and attributes? Does it duly con sider all the conditions and all the liabilities that exist? To our mind it does not do so. It seems a fatally limited and one-sided conclusion, omitting to observe a vast and portentious clement of evil in the universe to be dealt with and conquered by destruction. Moreover, is such a doctrine justified by the "sure word of prophecy," as recorded in the Xew Testament Scriptures, which give us the teachings of utr Lord and His Apostles 2 "Hack lo Christ." cries this Xew Theology. Hut no apostle is more explicit than was their Master in denouncing perdition, remediless and hopeless ruin as the fate of the unreclaimed and hardened.. Observe His words, "Wide is the gate, and broad the way that lcadeth to destruction, and many there he that go in thereat; hut straight is the gate and narrow the way that lcadeth unto life, and few there lie that find it." Again. "The wicked shall go away into Aeonian punishment," that is the punishment of the eternal state. Again He said: "Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and lxxly in hell." "Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.." The mildest meaning attributable to such words. is that the wicked lost ones are totally consumed and finally perish. So the apostles preached. Wrote Paul of the enemies of the gospel: "Who shall be punished with everlasting dc struction from the presence of the Lord 5 THE FRIEND and from the glory of His power." Such is the uniform testimony of the Xew Testament as to the final fate of the enemies of God. We do not here claim that the misery of the lost has not been exaggerated in the Christian church; nor do we claim that the teaching of the church has not included far too many among the hopelessly lost. The possible saving power of God may have been far too much limited by a narrow teaching. Bui the fact remains that the great Founder of Christianity gave no room for this modern teaching of a Universal Salvation. That is not a Christian doctrine, but a modern invention. We regard it as a misguided sentimentalism, which blindly and one-sidedly overlooks the overwhelming fact thai evil necessarily tends to destruction. The exceeding compassion of the Infinite Father does not extinguish the inevitahleness of that consequence to all those .vho persist in choosing evil and refusing the good. Xor does it overcome the law of the persistence of hardened character, by which inevitable evil-doers pass the line of possible reclamation. Those servants of Christ who would "rightly divide the word of truth;" who would "warn every man in all wisdom." will humbly abstain from setting up their own sentimental theories on this momentous subject. They will humbly an I earnestly consult the teachings of the founders of Christianity which were wholly opposed to such "Larger Hope." Never more than now did tempted and careless men need to be warned that sin leads towards perdition rcnicdylcss and hopeless, from which no compassion of God may be able to rescue them. S. E. B.

As Kaahumanu was not well and stopped short of this place, the good people took great pains to make me as comfortable as they could : mv bedding, cooking utensils, &c. being left behind. I was gratified to find so much appearance of civilization in this distant part of the island. We found here good houses, many of the people were well dressed, and possessed several foreign articles of comfort. The head man and wife appeared very glad to see me, and spent the evening very pleasantly in conversation. They said they had In en considerably in debt and were much tti mhled, but were now mostly relieved of their burden. I told them it was the best way to pay down when they purchased anything. They readily assenie 1 to it. and said they were before naattpo. (dark heart.) This is a pleasant part oi the island, and belongs to Kekauluohe, for whom our little daughter is named. Feb'y 11 tit. Examined in this place about 170 scholars, conversed with the teachers and addressed the people as usual. Kaahumanu exhorted them to forsake their sins, attend to instruction, obey the word of God, &c, StC. We set out between ten and eleven o'clock and arrived at Kahukti a littl past noon, examined several schools, married three couple, and addressed the people. As Kaahumanu was not very well, we concluded to stop for the night. Baked hogs and poi as usual were brought in abundance. Feb'y 12th. Arrived at Waialee before noon, examined three or four schools and proceeded to Waimea, where we examined two more. Here we found Hewahewa, the former high priest, repeat edly mentioned in the earlier accounts of the mission. Kaahumanu in her address to (he people, pointed to him as the former priest of their lying gods of wood and stone, &c, and exhorted them to turn to the right way, cast off their sins, and obey the word of the God who created . all things. Here I met with Mr. Pierce from Honolulu, the first person I have seen since leaving home, with whom I could con verse in English. We left Waimea about three o'clock and proceeded to Waialua, five miles further, where we had concluded to spend the Sabbath. This is a pleasant place, thickly inhabited and affords a pretty good harbor fir small yessels. It is probably the most favorable place on the island, next to Honolulu, for a missionary station. We met here our good friend and brother, nui, and a few others from Honolulu. Feb'y 13th. Examined 200 scholars in this place. There are more to he examined on Monday. This place presents many advantages for a missionary station. It is easily accessible by water or by land from I lonolulu, distant about thirty miles in a straight course. It is very fertile, and abounds in fresh water. The inhabitants in the immediate vicinity are numerous, and any place on the north side of the island is easily accessible on horseback. I should prefer this as a place of residence before Honolulu. Feb'y 14th, Sabbath. Preached this morning to about 20(X) hearers in' the open air, from Matthew 7:20. and in the afternoon to nearly as many from Luke 12.8-0. There would probably he about the same number usually if a missionary was established here. Feb'y 15th. Examined this morning nearly 200 more scholars in this place, and married eight couples. Set out between ten and eleven o'clock for \\ aianae, taking an inland course, as we could not ride around by the sea shore, leaving Kaahumanu and her attendants to come tomorrow, and meet us ten or twelve miles southeast of this place. We rode about twelve miles and left our horses, and descended a precipice some thousand feet and proceeded six or seven miles further to the sea shore at Waianae. When we reached this place it was dark, and was exceedingly fatigued and hunhad eaterl nothing exgry, as since cept a piece of sweet potato I I in the morning. 1 threw the mats and waited patiently until the good people could provide a little fish and taro. which I ate with a jack knife, using cold water for tea. After supper a prayer was offered by one of the native teachers, and I laid down upon mats spread Upon hoards, but was not able'to yet much rest, as I had very little covering and my bed was exceedingly hard. Feb. 16th. This morning the school assembled and we examined about JOO scholars, addressed the people and praye 1 with them, and after taking a little refreshment, set out on our return. We ascended with much labor the precipice, and soon met Kaahumanu and her company, and took up our lodgings for the night, glad to get a little tea and a comfortable lodging place, Feb'y 17111. A very stormy day, and as we were in a comfortable harbor, Kaahumaiiu concluded not to go out m 'he rain. We must, however, soon remove from this place, or we shall be in want 7 o'clock myself upon of food, as we have aliout ioo persons in our company, and the place where we are is ten or twelve miles inland and very thinly inhabited.

XigiH overtook us before we reached home, and as the load was very bad, we left our horses, procured lights and after traveling several miles in the mud, arrived at Honolulu .about nine o'clock in the evening, and found Mary and the babe well. Kaahumanu arrived the next morning. During my absence I examined about 40(H) scholars, and man ied twenty-four couples. The Scenery in every part of the island is grand and romantic. The land, except in the mountainous parts, is generally good, and capable of sustaining twentj times the present number of inhabitants. The bouses of the common people are generally poor. They barely afford a shelter from the sun and rain. Their furniture is made up principally of a few calabashes from which they eat and drink, &C, and a few mats, upon which thee sleep. Manx of the common people .are now decently clothed in foreign cloth, others are furnished with la pit or native cloth, which they tie around them or throw over their shoulders. They are beginning to make bonnets and hats of the leaf of the haht tree, by braiding it like straw. They are also beginning to procure many other articles of comfort to which they were formerly strangers. But what is far more interesting to the Christian, they are becoming better and better acquainted with the religion of lestis. Light is pouring into their minds, which, we trust, will greatly elevate them in the scale of intelligent beings, and with the Messing of (Sod, make them wise unto salvation. Eagerness for books and religious instruction is exceedingly great, and we very much need more help to sup- ply the increased demand. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W.

In order to prove his position correct. In must see that his protoges keep the law. A serious question really arises in connection with the multiplication of beer saloons. Is it safe in a tropical conimttnty to encourage any use of alcohol as a beverage? Our climate and the salt air we breathe combine to create thirst. It seems to he a fact when one looks back over the life of the community tilling these Islands that the beer habit grows into the use of stronger stimulants as a rule, and the tropical thirst demands something stronger than beer to hold it in abeyance. The dangers of increasing beer saloons can easily be seen when the ease of forming an appetite for intoxicants in a tropical country is recognized. In the United States the South was much more inclined to whiskey than the North. I'lils question of beer and thirst should be a vital factor when our government officials try to solve the problem of the welfare of the people.

L. WHITNEY body and the unremitting care of every household. We trust that not only the funds for the prosecution of the work be forthcoming, hut also that that willingness to co-operate be shown which in such undertakings is worth far more than money. This has been a month of political foment. In the Republican Party, practically embracing all the whites together with many natives, caucuses and primaries have been the order of the day. There have been two factions in the field; one led by J. 11. Boyd and T. McCants Stewart, and seeming to represent the "graft" ]x)rtion of our ]K)litics, and the other faction representing the better element. Political enthusiasm has run higher as the primaries approached, hut all through the campaign there has been a most deplorable lack of assistance from the older and richer and more stable men of the community. It is indeed a paradox that the men who have most to gain or lose by a turn in elections, men whose time is their own and wdiosc fortunes ]>ermit, should be the last to come into the field and work for honest, clean and reputable politics. There is no such thing as "staying out of politics," we must live under some government and in a republic we live under that government which we ourselves form. We may shirk our duty to that government, we may stand by and grumble at the work others are accom- plishing, but so long as we live, we shall form an integral part of politics we shall, by our action, cast our influence on the side of righteousness or of iniquity in high places. The most cursory glance at the ranks of the men in the fight will prove our point. Where, in this last campaign were the bankers, the planters, the merchants and the men of money, influence and authority? And yet, on the election of good, honest men in these primaries hung the question of whether we shall or shall not have an honest administration in Honolulu. The elections have come out well and the result has been an absolute and, we trust, final defeat of an organized band of spoilers within the Republican ranks. : The community has had forced Upon its attention this month, the spectacle of the State taking the life of an individual for the crime of robbing that State of another life. Laying aside all sentimentality and all of the super-softness of heart which seems to affect many of our writers, it certainly does seem terrible that a man should be punished more than is necessary to prevent his ever committing the offence again in order that another, for wdiose conduct he is not responsible may be terrified into an ap- prcciation of the enormity of the misdeed. The permanent disbarment of Attorneys Humphreys and Davis and the suspension of Attorney Thompson came as a surprise to most of the community ; but disloyalty to clients and blackmail are not to he winked at, and the Court has done a great and lasting service not only to the bar, but as well to every man under its jurisdiction by declaring with no uncertain voice that the bar shall be as true and as just as justice demands that the bench shall he. The long term of court is now upon us, and again the town is feeling the weight of the unequal burden of jury service it bears. It is a notorious fact that practically all the heavy civil jury work of Hawaii falls on the inhabitants of the capital, and it is small wonder that the two hundred and fifty "good men and true" who, this term, are called to serve as jurors should feel that the burden of the duty is more than they can with equanimity bear. The slow, crude and altogether faulty jury system has been with us for a long time, and doubtless is here to stay, hut society as a whole will welcome the time when some body of men. equal in rank with the bench, shall decide the facts, as the bench does the law. of the ease. No such cumbersome machinery, however, binds the hands of the District Magistrate. He is jury, judge and executing officer, interpreter and, in large measure, clerk. A good all-around man is needed for such a position in Honolulu, and we believe the Governor found such an one in Alexander Lindsay. Jr., who has just been apix>inted to the place. The mosquito campaign, inaugurated last month in earnest by the combined efforts of the Roard of Health and a general citizen movement, is a most hopeful and commendable warfare. The one pest of Hawaii is the mosquito, and any movement which has for its aim the extermination of the species or the amelioration of our condition in this regard should be hailed as a blessing and aided by every man among- us. That great results can he obtained by a systematic and energetic campaign against the mosouito has been proven beyond gainsay. Rut it means the earnest co-operation of every- Business conditions have shown a marked improvement. Our plantations have been more than usually fortunate in securing the advantage of teni]x>rarily high prices on the sugar market, and all branches of business have felt the stimulating results. Sugar stocks and bonds have risen rapidly all along the line, and although we have had no boom we have had a much needed relief from our depression. The project of a sugar refinery on our own shores, which for years has been talked of, was launched this month by Mr. E. L. Lewis of San Francisco. I'ut such fear has the great sugar trust instilled into our merchants that scarce one can be found to favor the undertaking lest thereby we shall bring down upon our heads the wrath of the Trust. That there is good ground for such a feeling we may rest assured, and the men who have the most money in the business are those most likely to understand the situation. One event on the mainland this month has so great and so far-reaching a bearing on Hawaii that we must mention it here. The legislature of Colombia has committed the folly of refusing the American prop' sition of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This seems necessarily to point to a Xicaraguan canal, a change which will be of great com- mercial importance to Hawaii. Nearer to us by mane hundred miles than the other route would have been and bringing the line of travel between the Atlantic states and the Orient directly across our group, it is a foregone conclusion that all ships making the trip will call here as a way port and coaling station. What this means to Hawaii, time alone will tell, but Providence seems to have destined this to be in reality as in name, "The Crossroads of the Pacific."

Penalty is evil inflicted only by a rightful authority on the ground of guilt, and, as such, it is an expression of the sense which that authority lias of the hcinotisness of crime. ( ompare this view now with the one that the natutal consequences of sin arcits penalty. In the first place, we note that natural laws are not legal enactments. They (Id not represent the will of the government on moral questions. They simply register the method of ac tion of events that lie in the chain of cause and effect. They lie outside of the realm of free moral action. They carry witbrthem no thought of obligation and their natural result, as we have seen, is inevitable in the case of all alike who obey or disobey them. < >ver against these natural laws are the laws which express the will, purpose and commands of government. The attitud< of a moral being to these latter laws, determines his relation to the governing power. Tf his attitude is one of obedience and regard for the interests which the government cherishes and protects, he will stand in its favor, and receive its approval. If his attitude is one of hostility or disobedience to the laws, he will stand in disfavor and suffer whatever evil the government judges is necessary to protect the interests under its care. These laws, therefore, do not, like natural laws, operate blindly with the same results for all alike, without reference to character. They discriminate between the guilty and the righteous and deal out just awards to each. Xow Cod is tlii- Ruler of the universe. Do these principles Apply in His treatment (,f the sinner? The Scriptures certainly so represent it: "Whosoever comniitteth sin transgressetb also the law. for sin is the transgression of the law." This law is not a natural law, but the general law of obligation under which all moral beings exist and which God upholds as the fundamental law of His universe. Transgression of this law is therefore a sin against God, for which He judges the sinner guilty: and the teaching of the Scriptures is everywhere consistent that �THE FRIEND 10 it is the guilty who are punished, not those who indiscriminately, suffer from the Operation of natural forces. Those who hold to the latter doctrine are fond of quoting the passage in Gal. vi 7, "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap," but this sentence gains its force from the one before it, which makes the whole passage read: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowelh that shall he also nap." This plainly shows that the reaping is not the results occurring in harmony with some law in nature, hut the inflictions laid upon the sinner by the will and active active operation of God. We may freely grant that the sinner tna\ destroy himself by the violation of the laws of his own being, but the Scriplures plainly teach that the penalty of sin is something more than this—some thing emanating from the will of God The as an expression of His abhorrence of its guilt and wickedness. This biblical teaching is reasonable. Our moral nature, when allowed honest expression, assents to it as just and right. It furnishes no difficulty in the way of forgiveness. The sinner repents and God remits the consequences determined against him by his own will, at the same time leaving natural laws in full operation. As a part of the physical universe, the sinner is always of necessity a subject to these laws. As an erring child of God he is always free to adjust his actions to his Father's will and so merit His approval or condemnation: and whether his final recompense he reward or penalty, it will not In- the result of any blind force, but the act of God, who is the authority whose rightful power it is to deal with his case. /.

A burden of several thousand dollars was thus added to this Hoard. Negotiations have been begun with reference to the transference of all the properties held in these islands in the name of the American Board to a Board of Trustees, to be used in the interest of our work.

The condition of certain parishes is decidedly better than during the last decade, yyhile others arc about as they were, and some have lost ground. The gain or loss is not always attributable to the ministry; it is often due to the efforts or indifference of the lav element, though in most instances the pastor is to be held responsible. Sometimes the deterioration of a parish is due to influences over which neither pastor nor people have control. Although during the first troublous years of the last decade, when feeling was so intense and there was so much political agitation, the yearly additions to the churches steadily decreased, dropping to 100 in 1896, it' is encouraging to note that since our political status has been decided, there has been a return of confidence and kindlier feeling, a quickening "lii July, 1902, Mr. Timoteo -gan yvork in Hauula, giving some time towards church repairs. Later he was retained by Kaumakapili church to help pay off a debt. There was also a matter of house repair he felt the need of attending to, after which yvork was begun with good effect in the churches of Waianae and Waialua, and was carried further to the Koolau side of the island to the churches at Waikane and Hauula. As a result of this work a new stimulus was given to the life of these churches, the community was awakened to its duty, abuses were corrected, and accessions were made to the church membership. It is the testimony of Miss Mudge. principal of the Waiahote government school, that much good was done her pupils and to the community generally. "The next field effort was the Puna district, where all the churches were visited, house to house work done, and protracted meetings held. Differences were adjusted and grievances removed. Mr. Waikalai began again his interrupted work at Kamaili and Opihikao, and Mr. Keliipio was established as preacher to the people of the l'uula church, quite a number being added to the communion of each of the churches. The months of April and May and a portion of Junewere given by Mr. Timoteo to the churches on the island of Kauai with likewise satisfactory results. "In most of his tours Mr. Timoteo was accompanied by the Secretary, who gives evangelistic his testimony to the value of Mr. Timoteo's work and would acknowledge him as a skillful and yvisc co-worker, and one who is held in high esteem by those among whom he has labored."

Here is an enterprise appealing directly to Christians of large resources. We want to capture the Japanese for Christ here in Honolulu. If we mean business we must force the battle at Nuuanu, at l'alama, at Makiki, at Kakaako and at every other center in town where the Japanese congregate. The workers are ready. Are those who have the stuff also ready? If so, send it in to our Treasurer. We desire to call special A Rare attention to a subsequent Opportunity article entitled "Another Gift of Hawaii lo Japan." To complete this remarkable service to that Empire an annual investment of $300 is required. We use the word investment advisedly, because the chief purpose of the new Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo is to furnish approved, welt-equipped evangelists for Hawaii. Mr. Kozaki believes that a force of sixty Japanese evangelists will be required to work effectively the field here. In this estimate we thoroughly agree with him. By co-operating to make this Training School a success, we may expect to receive from three to six newworkers every year until the needs of this Territory are fully met. What a call to God's people this opportunity issues! Who will hear it and send to our Treasurer a check for $300? The- King's business demands haste in this instance. ANOTHER GIFT OF HAWAII TO JAPAN Nothing less than a for 'Training School Christian Workers, combining the advantages of Moody's famous Bible School and the almost equally well known llible Normal College, formerly of Springfield, Mass., and latterly affiliated to that spendidly virile institution, Hartford Theological Seminary.

Kozaki of Japan, whose church in Tokyo is the leading Congregational ( Kumiai) center in the capital of the Empire, were enabled to visit these islands for evangelistic purposes. They returned profoundly impressed with the strategic importance of Hawaii for the evangelization of Japan. By pen and address Mr. Kozaki made his conviction known that the Japanese churches ought to furnish Hawaii with a force of 60 trained, English-speaking workers.. He so succedeed in firing the hearts of his people that offers came from a large pro- portion of the evangelists in connection with the American Hoard's Mission to go to this Territory. These offers could not be considered for a moment. To have listened to them would have crippled the mission most seriously. But Mr. Kozaki had no A Deeper i'lun thought of robbing his country of the services of men already in the work there, lie aimed to create a new supply to meet the necessities of Hawaii. His eye soon took in the wider demand. Large companies of Japanese had emigrated to Formosa, to China, to the Philippines and to our Pacific coast. Among them were Christians. Like the emigrants to Hawaii, all these men were readily susceptible to Christian appeal. There was only onepossible thing to be done—open a Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo, one of the largest, if not the largest, student center in the world. Get hold of many of these young men for this noble missionary service. Give them a thorough training in English, in the knowledge and use of the Bible, and in practical evangelistic work. „ „ „How Carry Out 4 1 he first . thing« was to se- '" t u co-operation oi Chtistigtl ministers and leaders of experience.

They aim to help them to lay ti|) money, to save them from drink and vice and gambling, ened. they are maintaining several men here who are studying the conditions on the several plantations with a view to induce worthless laborers to return to Japan. All this accounts for their splendid hacking of Mr. Kozaki. But one-half of the exWhere Hawaii pense of the Training Comes in Again School still remains to be raised.

THE TREASURER'S REPORT The treasurer's rqx>rt is not yet printed, but brief mention of the financial condition of the Hoard will be expected at this time. The following facts will be variously interpreted. To the courageous they will he encouraging and to the down-hearted they will be dispiriting. It may be fairly assumed that the Hoard's supporters belong to the first class, while the rest may enter in at any time. In the first place, there is a debt to start the year with, $3,794.33. That looks bad! Hut it might he worse, was worse last year, when it was as high as $10,356.00 at the beginning of the year. Another thing that looks bad—if bad —is the fact that the income fell $3,-841.81 below the income of the preceding year. Now there are probably some reasons for this, and yet the showing for our givers appears worse when it is stated that one man alone gave $14,000. (me thing to be recorded will be generally regarded as good, viz., that the running expenses of the work were reduced over $10,000. How good this is must be determined by how deep into life of our work tin "cut" was made. It is painful work at the best and yet the Hoard has had to undertake still further the cutting and probing for the year to come. The result will be seen in considerable change in our working force amounting to complete reorganization of the work. The apparent saving to the Hoard in dollars and cents is about $5,-000, but what the real hurt to the body is we cannot vet know. The finances of the Missionary body present a strange problem,—perhaps a complete contradiction in terms.. Business precedents would seem to limit the expenditures to the probable income.

Within the portals of this sacred edifice have entered all the rulers of the I lawaiian people who have been Upon tinstage during the last half century. 1 Icre have been held innumerable assemblages of the great and honored men and women of the land. Here have been celebrated the marriages and here have been conducted the funerals of many of the most august personages, the Kings and Queens of the past. On the most of these memorable occasions, Mr. Parker has had the leading part; and this stately building may be styled the Westminster Abbey of this once unique kingdom. The services of the house of Cod, and. pastoral ministration to the needs of a widely spread chinch membership, have tilled .Mr. Parker's life these forty years. In closing the exercises of this joyful celebration, Mr. David Ai, in behalf of main- friends, presented the pastor with a gold watch, costing $240, and a purse containing $150 in gold. He next presented to Mr. Parker a handsomely bound album of congratulatory letters from many friends, and also stated that Mrs. Haaielea, Mrs. Coney, Mrs. Mary Adams. Mr. Kumalae, Mrs. Ai and himself, were the committee on presentations. Mr. Parker, in ackonwledgment of these valued expressions of the love and esteem of many, spoke of how brief a period the past forty years now seemed to be, and acknowledged the invaluable support that he had received in his work from the good men and women of the past, and of the loyal aid given by the present faithful membership of the church, lie s|K>ke first in English and then in the Hawaiian language. At the close of the formal exercises the audience adjourned to the basement, where the pastor received the personal congratulations of his friends, and ice cream and cake were served.

But her spirit was heroic and duty, with her, was much more near and something pressing than any self-indulgence.

It was part of the great experiment, how to save the bodies of the natives whose souls had begun to awaken. During five years of active life at Wailuku and seventeen at Kaluaaha —for Molokai was then a populous island—Miss Brown taught better living and self-help; and the value of her instruction is not to be measured by the yards of cloth which her girls wove, but by their improvement in character.

The rushes growing on the landward side of the fish ponds, and the seaweed collected there, with a little spice of shellfish, gave a briny smell to the coast, which does not belong to the open sea. A'little more intensity might have made it a bad smell, but it has never become bad to me. We had our daily sea bath ing at the landing, where the bottom was sandy; and our daily visit of inspection to the canoe houses, —old houses with low stone walls and ragged roofs— where the more valuable canoes were swathed in old mats, and mounted on carved stools. Our longer excursions reached to the great Mapulehu valley, which is narrowat the mouth, but expands into an amphitheater; to the Iteiatt near the mouth of this valley, a great oblong pile of rounded stones, with level top and sloping sides, overgrown, even then, with a tangle of vines and bushes; and a trip to Halawa, a wild and verdant valley opening to the northeast, and having a noble stream of cold mountain water. One experience, which was not my own, made a lasting impression on me. The missionary was to hold religious meetings with the people at Kamalo and beyond, and would be gone from home two days. One member of his party was hoped that the attendance will increase. A limited number of scholarships and half-scholarships is provided for worthy and needy pupils. Some of these are for Ilawaiians only, others are reserved for Japanese and Chinese. Those who wish to take advantage of these must apply early. The additions to the teaching force for the coming school year will, it is lielicved, add greatly to the strength and general efficiency of the school, The Pratt system will be continued in the sewing department, which, with the department of music, will be under new teachers. Pupils are wanted for the sewing course, and outside pupils for lessons in music. 'The present hopeful outlook for the future of the school, affords every encouragement for the continued interest and financial aid of those who have hitherto assisted the school, while tin- many and urgent needs which arise as improvements arc contemplated, call loudly for new interest and new contributions. The school is broadening in its scope, reaching out for the girls of the cosmopolitan island population, in this respect filling a sphere not now occupied by manyschools of its kind.

They determined not to waste the golden hours and therefore daily in the N'uuanu Street church met to discuss the conditions and demands of their work.

In the cheap places young women of pretty face and buxom form sally forth to show their physical beauties in changing dress (and dress), and with sonc and dance display their activity (and their persons) in more or less wanton fashion. The dialogue parts are usually carried on by men in grot- esquc costumes representing Jews or trisna man and a woman in ordinary dress.

I § �THE FRIEND 12 The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society JUDGE WILLIAM WILCOX LUTHER This ever-youthful man bade his native land adieu on the evening of Sabbath, Jul y I2th, crossing over into the bourne whence none return. He had a few days earlier, on the Bth of July, completed 'fifty years of a very interesting and varied life. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Aimer Wilcox, were missionaries of the \merican Hoard, who came to these islands as teachers, arriving from 808-ton early in the forties. He was born at Waioli. on Kauai, and inherited tin- quaint humor of his father and tlie kindly sparkle of his lovely and loving mother, the combination producing line of the most fascinating characters that our islands have produced. His parents, after about thirty yearn of assiduous missionary service, in infirm health, 'eft, in 1869, for a vist to their fatherland. Hut a week after reaching their native place in Winsted, Connecticut, they both died within an liour of each other. Left an orphan at sixteen and having completed two years of schooling at Lun ahoti, he resolved toat once strike out and make a living for himself. Securing the situation of interpreter, he entered the service of the Government, in which he continued through life. None ever rivaled him as interpreter, either in court or in the legislative hall. The promptness and aptness of his brilliant translations were a feast to any listener who understood perfectly the English and Hawaiian languages. In iB<»7 he was appointed Judge of the police court of Honolulu, a position of great labor and taxing responsibilities. He never appeared weary and seldom failed by his pleasantry and wit to lighten the hearts of all concerned and of interested listeners. The genuine kindness of his heart ever showed itself in playful form, exceedingly unusual in a judge whose office was to restrain evil doers and to deliver the righteous from tinhand of tlie oppressor. 1 le was the just judge, the kind friend. the merry companion and the government officer who could not easily be hood-winked. About ten years ago he was married to a Hawaiian woman of good rep;>r; from the island of Molol<ai.—named Kahuila. His surviving relatives are his widow, Mrs. Kahuila Wilcox, and his brothers, in Winstead, Connecticut; George N., Samuel W. and Albert, Edward residents tary for Hawaii to his other duties, stated that the Churches of the Territory had made a very poor showing, l>ecause many pastors failed to fill out and return the statistical blanks sent them. He emphasized the advantages to be gained by representation in the national organization; it gives us the right to participate in its stimulating councils, and that it is important that our statistics should be as ac- on Kauai.

December Friend - - - - - - �The Friend HONOLULU, T. H., JULY, 190* VOL. LXI The fortieth anniversary of the Hawaiian Hoard has just passed. Rev. W. H. Rice lakes charge of the page on Temperance Issues in the absence of Rev. W. D. Westervelt. The managing editor is much indebted to Dr. S. E. P.ishop for assistance in the preparation of the present number of this paper. It has come as a great relief in the present busy season. The fortieth anniversary of Rev. H. 11. Parker as pastor of Kawaiahao Church comes too late for us to crive it adequate attention in ibis issue. We shall give it full mention next month, so that Mr. Parker's friends abroad who lead Till. FaiEND may he informed of the event. We print on our front cover this month a picture of the Japanese school which has been gathered hy Rev. Mr. Okumura during the past few years. It is a good representation of how educational and other work naturally spring out of evangelistic effort, and is prophetic of the Opportunity that is immediately upon the Christian people of these Islands to reach this rising generation of Japanese with The Hawaiian Christian education. Hoard has recently voted to move this school from its present quarters on Kitkui street to the premises of the North Pacific Missionary Institute. We call attention to The Student, the little magazine published by the Mills Institute, under the able editorship of Mr. A. M. Merrill. The June number is issued in the shape of a catalogue number. Tt contains the names of the teachers and pupils for the past year and gives the program of daily exercises, and other facts concerning the school. Mills Institute closed a successful year of work on June 19th. Already students are applying for admission for next year. Two of the old teachers, Messrs. Merrill and Henry, remain, thus insuring a successful continuance of the work. The members of Kaumakapili church are to be congratulated on receivKauTmkhpFileirClaims ing the $40,000 which remained due them for the destrucstill tion of their church edifice in the great fire of January 20, 1900. The full amount of the award was $46,822. This, with an additional amount from the sale of a portion of the church lot. bring! the total amount now at their disposal up to nearly $50,000. This sum of money, if most effectively used, will enable this church to exert a strong influence for good among the native population of Honolulu for many years to come. Its people are widely scattered and naturally gather at three or four different centers. If, as we suggested some months ago. the work at these centers is strengthened by a modest outlay of a part of this money, instead of spending it all in the erection of one large church building, and the remainder invested for the support of the work, a prosperous and useful career is easily within the reach of this organization. At the recent commence- Honors to Prof. ment at Vale University, W. D. Alexander of LL. D. was the degree 1 a\c on Prof. VV. conferred i»-.,r It is probable that before or this paper reaches our the Pacific subscribers, the last link Cable will be completed of the Telegraphic Submarine (.able from San Francisco to Manila. The Colonia is expected before July 4th from Midway Island to land the end of the last section of the Cable at Honolulu. It has been a great and costly undertaking, and has been so far splendidly accomplished. By this event Honolulu becomes linked directly with the Orient'as we were SIX Completion months ago with our Continent and Europe. It is a great and momentous event, and one of like import with the simul- opening of I'earl Harbor in making Hawaii one of the important centers of commerce and civilization. By two events Hawaii becomes enthroned as a queen in the Central Pacific, dominating over this vast ocean area. Ex-President Cleveland has lately pointed out in a striking manner that wonderful Divine Providence which by the destruction of the French Army in San Domingo in 1803, suddenly led Napoleon to change his whole purpose and sell Louisiana to the United States. [11 like maimer, we may well study that remarkable series of Divine Providences which cigthy-three \ears ago bewail to Christianize and Americanize Hawaii, and prepared it to become a brilliant center of Christianand American civilization in this mid-ocean. More and more clearly is the great destiny of Hawaii opening before us. With such a future in near increasing and pressing I rospect come obligations to maintain here in highest vigor all social, intellectual and spiritual progress. Our youth are to be educated. Legislation is to be kept uncorrupted and wise. Laws are to be executed and government administered with growing justice and vigilance. Above all, we who are Christian believers, are to be alert and devoted in bringing all the force of Christ and His Gospel to bear for the renovation and uplifting of all the peoples in our borders, as well as for the repression of the evil forces of drunkenness and impurity. May the Lord inspire us to zeal and fidelity. taneous Alexander, Yale's most distinguished alumnus in these Islands. Prof. Alexander is a graduate of Vale of the class of 1855, and since that date has pursued a continuous and honorable career of academic and scientific work. After his graduation he taught two years in the United States and then returned to the Islands, and was connected with Oahu College as teacher and president till 1871. He then entered the service of the government as Surveyor General, in which position iie continued till 1901. when he became assistant in the L'nited States Coast Survey. Prof. Alexander is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a member of the Astronomical Socity of the Pacific, and of the Hawaiian Historical Society. He is the author of several books, and printed articles on many subjects. He iias also served the community as president and member of the Roard of Education, trustee of Oahu College, member of the Hawaiian Hoard, and in other ways.

The needed lands and water fronts for that pMpotC have been secured, and work ■DON the required buildings, workshops and drydocks is likely to be speedily begun. It is expected that all these will be of the largest class, involving an early expenditure of some fifteen millions. When completed, the largest battleships can be docked, and the most extensive repairs executed. The proper defense of this great harbor and the immense works there established will involve an extensive system of fortifications. Altogether the United States will here create and |x>sscss its chief out|Mist in the Pacific Ocean, both to prevent attack upon the \nu-ricin coast, and to give supreme command of this great ocean. In a military point of view. Pearl Harbor will thus become the most imjxirtant strategic position in the Pacific. No enemy can attack the western coast of the Continent without firs! gaining possession of Oahu, while our American Empire becomes centra'lv entrenched in mid-ocean. Pearl Harbor will also soon become aft immense auxiliary to our commerce by furnishing a haven of inexhaustible capacity for the accommodation of the growing fleet of trans-Pacific steamers In the near future, the inevitable Opening of the Isthmian Canal will In- sending an enormous number of the largest-sized freight steamers, carrying the commerce of the Atlantic nations to China and Japan.

No doubt in ten years from this time, scores of first-class steamers from the Isthmus and the t )rient will enter and fill their coal-bunkers at Pearl llarlxir every week. Our island is thus seen to be on the eve of an immense development of our commercial importance, of which the re moval of Pearl Harbor bar is a great premonition.

George Pierce Andrews News of the sudden decease of Dr. Andrews brought to many a home in De- troit grief as keen and sincere as if some member of the family circle had been called away from earth. It is more than twelve years since the doctor was impelled by impaired health to leave that city, but the lapse of time has not made dim the impression which his singularly modest, sincere and sympathetic personality made on those who were privileged to know him. Few physicians have been so beloved by their patients in all si i tions of life. Few men have so complete ly commanded the confidence, the esteem and the admiration of the community at large. The life of Dr. Andrews was one of vicissitude His father. Dr. Seth L. Andrews, was sent out to the Hawaii.!! Islands by the Ymerican Board, in iK,V> as mission physician. He was located at Kailua, Hawaii, where his eldest son, (ieorge, was born April (). 1838, The lit-, of the mission physician in those da\was one of extraordinary hardship I' was necessary for him to make professional visits that required long journeys There were no roads worthy of the name. Travel was chiefly by canoe. On one occasion the doctor and his family were in I lilo when word came that his professional services were needed at Waimea. He had arranged to have horses sent from Waimea, hut as they did not arrive at the expected time and the necessity was pressing, he started on foot with his wife and little George, then cighttcen months old. to make the journey through the dense koa forest of the rain belt of Hawaii hnly at the end of three days of toil'some plodding through mire and drench ing rain did they meet a! last the horses that through some misunderstanding had been sent only as far as the borders of the forest. The hardships of such a life resulted within ten years in the premature death of three infant children and finally of the mother herself and. he. henceforth more or less, an invalid for life, was compelled to lay down the burden of his missionary work and with his surviving son, George, to return to the home land. There can be no doubt that the privations and hardships the children had suffered in those years imparted their vitality and shortened their days on earth. To the ten-year-old boy, America was at first a world filled with wonders. Ibis described as at this time physically a delicate child, but wide awake and full of energy. From his 'mother he had inherited imagination, from his father a thirst for knowledge of the facts of nature. Old pleasures soon palled with him he was impatient to extend into new fields his experiences of the delights of life. So he was naturally among his companions a leader at first perhaps in boyish mischief, later, in whatever called for initiative and enterprise. As he grew into adolescence it was evident that the motives which influenced him were invariable those that were high and noble. While restless in ; — TUB I.ATK I>ll. (IKOKOE P. ANDHkWS. his search after novelty in the experiences of life, there was absolute constancy of purpose in the pursuit of the finest ideals, and his moral instincts were never at fault in the choice of those ideals. So it was characteristic of him that very early in life his heart was given irrevocably and without reserve to the elect lady who was to be the sharer with him of whatsoever life might have in store. So, t(x>, it was characteristic that for him there could be no thought of any vocation in life other than that which his father had followed, for the bond of sympathy and affection between father and son was avers close one. The young man expected as a matter of course- to go to college, and actually entered the freshman class at Yak after fitting at Philips Andover, but he shortly found the work beyond his endurance. The requirements of a medical course of study were not at that time so exatcing, and accordingly he matriculated in the Medical Department of the University of Michigan. He pursued with enthusiasm a line of study so congennial to his tastes, and at the age of twenty-three received his diploma as Doctor of Medicine, from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Xew York City. He returned to his home at Romeo, Mich., to claim his bride, Miss Sarah Dyar, and then went direct to Detroit ( May, )86i), to begin the serious business of life. It was during the time of the Civil War, and a large government hospital had been established in Detroit for wounded soldiers. Dr. Andrews received an appointment on the staff jf this hospital, and thus was ensured active employment while waiting for patients of his own. The earlier years of his professional life were by no means years of idleness for him. The physicians of the city when lie came there showed very little ambition for anything beyond the extending of their individual business. Dr. Andrews was one of a very few who had a larger conception of the obligations demanded by their profession. Detroit, with its clinical opportunities seemed to these men to be the proper place for the Medical School of the State University. So they organized a school of medicine which was to be auxiliary to that at Ann Arbor. That Dr. Andrews should be chosen to fill Unimportant chair of Principle and Practice of Medicine was a matter of course. In connection with the Medical School, it was necessary that a Medical Journal should grow up, and who so competent to assume tin- editorship of such a Journal as Dr. Andrews? The State Medical Society had become defunct throueh inanition. Dr. Andrews was one of the leaders in the movement to reorganize the Association, which from that time has remained an active organization. Detroit had a medical society, but it was doing nothing to advance the scientific interests of the profession. Dr. Andrews was again a leader in forming a new society, the Detroit Academy of Medicine, which continues to-day to represent the high ideals of those who formed it. Again it was Dr. Andrews who suggested the building of the Children's Frco Hospital in Detroit — a philanthropic enterprise whose wisdom and necessity no one today will question. Dr. Andrews was a man of remarkable versatility of talent. He was equally at home in the hospital ward, on the lecture nlatform. or in the chemical laboratory. He could use with the skill of a master the plane, the trowel, or the soldering iron, as well as the scalpel, the trephine or the microscope.

M S. W. BRIEF MENTION Word has come of the arrival of the missionary schooner Carrie and Annie hi San Francisco, from Micronesia. Returning passengers from the missionary force were Miss Wilson, Rev. A. C. Walkup and the son of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Channon, who comes up for purposes of education in the United States. A letter from Rev. I. M. Channon of Kusaie to Dr. Bingham relates the great difficulties under which Micronesian Mission is now laboring, owing to the lack of a sufficient force to thoroughly man the field, and to the inadequacy of the missionary vessel for a number of years past to do the necessary touring. Mr. Channon's health is not good, and altogether the situation is one of great discouragement. Instead of a special topic for considerlime meeting of the W. C. T. I", the leader presented a number of letters which had accumulated during the ation at the year and had been crowded out from month to month. ( )ne of these was from Mrs. John Waterhouse, who represented the Society at the World's W. C. T. C. Convention, in (ieneva, Switzerland. Another was from Anthony Comstock. who commended the Honolulu W. C. T. I T as the first one which had given the 30 per capita asked for from each Union, in order to perpetuate his work. The Society adjourned . until September. \ new idea for a missionary society program comes from East Orange, X. J.

In these days when so much is being said about advertising the Hawaiian Islands and inducing tourist travel.

This is evidently founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment: also that bitters may have some medicinal quality which will neutralize the alcohol it conceals. Tucse theories are without confirmation in the observation of physicians. The use of beer is found to produce a species of degeneration of-all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished circulation, conditions of congestion and perversion of functional activities, local inflammations of both the liver and kidneys are constantly present. Intellectually, a stupor amounting to almost paralysis, arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into a mere animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger that are senseless and brutal. In appearance the beer-drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality he is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury, a severe cold or a shock to the body or mind will commonly provoke acute disease, ending fatally. Compared with inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable, and more generally diseased. The constant use of D WESTERVELT beer every day gives the system no recuperation, but steadily lowers the vital forces. It is our observation that beer drinking in this country produces the verylow est kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity. The most dangerous ruffians in our large cities are beer drinkers. Recourse to beer as a substitute for other forms of alcohol merely increases the danger and fatality.— Scientific American. BEER The claim made by Mr. Kendall, the national president of the Brewers' Association, and noted in our April issue, that the brewers had done more for temperance than all other agencies, in the last ten years, rather set your secretary thinking, and he has been looking into the matter a little. Some results of this investigation arc given below and it would hardly look as if we could agree with him in his conclusions. If these things show good temperance work", it must take a curious sort of glasses to disclose it. For instance, note the famous chemist whose name is almost a household word, Baron Liebig, as he writes: "The who'e purpose of brewing is to get rid of the blood-forming elements of the grain and to transmute the useful sugar into alcohol. We can prove with mathematical certainty that as much flour as can lie on the point of a table knife is more nutritious than eight quarts of the best Bavarian Peer." The Court of Appeals, Xew York's highest court, in a decision by Justice Welles said: "Xow that ale, beer, porter and most of the fermented drinks known in this country can and do produce intoxication to a greater or less extent, and that such is the ordinary effect of their use as a beverage, no man of mature years can have failed to observe." Put this with the following from an address by Dr. Edward C. Mann: '"I think a person after indulging in wine or beer for a time feels a growing desire for some more powerful stimulant." The Chicago Daily News says:"The fact is, that the use of beer as a pretended temperance beverage is a delusion and a snare. It is the first step to indulgence in stronger liquors." Horace Greeley wrote years ago: "The single glass of wine or beer per day, at the beginning, will soon be enlarged or repeated. It was enough to start the blood into a gallop yesterday, but falls short to-day, and will not begin to do it tomorrow." Away back in 1830, England tried the experiment of "beer temperance." The London Times said : "The idea entertained was that free trade in beetwould gradually wean men from the temptations of a regular tavern and would promote the consumption of a wholesome national beverage, in place of ardent spirits. The results of this experiment did not confirm the expectation of its promoters. The sale of beer was increased, but the sale of spiritous liquors was not diminished." In a later issue we may discuss the question from the health standpoint, and see how it bears out its claim."—Connecticut Citizen. The attention of the New York hospital surgeons has been called to the biu; number of bartenders that have lost several fingers of both hands within the past few years. The first case was that of an employe of a Howery concert hall. Three of the fingers of his right hand and two of his left were rotted away when he called at P.ellevuc one day and begged tin doctors to explain the reason. He said duty was to draw beer for the thousands who visited the garden nightly. The man was in perfect health otherwise, and it took the young doctors quite a time to arrive at any conclusion. Put they (lid finally, and it nearly took the heerman's breath away when they did. "Your fingers have been rotted off," they said, "by the beer which you have handled." Other cases of a similar nature came rapidly after this one, and to-day the physicians estimate there is an army of employes of saloons whose fingers are being ruined by the same cause. The acid and resin in the beer are said to be t esnonsiblc. The head bartender of a well known down-town sakxin says he knows a numlier of cases where beer-drawers have, in addition to losing several fingers of both hands, lost th use of both members. "Peer will rot iron, I believe." he added. "I know, and every bartender knows, that it is impossible to keen a good pair of shoes behind the bar. Peer will rot leather as rapidly, almost, as acid will eat into iron. If I were a temperance orator, I'd ask.

Court he has at last l>een granted absolute control thereof. The fees received out of this estate have made more than one attorney well-to-do, and the actions of Attorneys A. S. Humphreys and F. E. Thompson have been called under review of the Court. At its request the Attorney General has filed charges against these two attorneys, and the trial is, as we write, in progress. In the Supreme Court of the I Inited States, the case of the Territory of Hawaii vs. Tanbara Mankichi was, during this month, decided in favor of the Territory. This case involved the much vexed question of our "Transition Period," when, by the Xcwlands Resolution we had become a part of the United States, but before our present Territorial government had been settled upon. The Court holds that the constitution did not follow the flag, that Hawaiian procedure was in full force here during this period. that only those provisions of the constitution applied which Congress had made so to do. This case folloyvs directly the doctrine of Downes vs. Bid well, which had to do with Puerto Rico, where this doctrine was first laid down. There were in this case, four judges dissenting. Though the Legislature "in session" has accomplished so little, the courts "in vacation" have apparently made up therefor. The case before Judge Gear, involving the validity of the County Act, has heen tried and the decision announced by His Honor.

This was a body which by the Act was granted powers in conflict with those of the present Superintendent of Public Works: powers which practically render that office either absolutely unnecessary or the fattest sinecure in the Territory. By the decision in this case, the Board of Public Supervisors was declared illegal and unconstitutional, but His Honor was of the opinion that the remainer of the Act was not affected by the decision. In the Supreme Court, the notorious Sumner case was given its final decision. John K. Sumner, an aged Tahitian. a man of 82 years, and worth something over $110,000, by some evil chance fe'l nto the hands of certain attorneys, who together with his grandchildren, have nanaged to get from the old man, 3 very arge share of said $110,000. The remain der Sumner has been endeavoring to ob- tain, and by the decision of the Supreme tion by the arrest and conviction of E. S. Cunha for employing minor help. An •ippeal has been taken, and presumably it will lie with the Supreme Court to decide as to the validity of this very salutary law. A very interesting case has arisen in die Federal Court. A htti of young men, so rumor has it, have united in an atfempted hold-up of the community, and '.-specially C. Brewer and Co.. Ltd. These voting men, under the name of one Fred Berger, have brought suit to enforce a c orfeit of $1000 each against C. Brewer \nd Co., Ltd., for the importation of 113 Koreans. The contention is that these Koreans were imported in contravention if our immigration law, relating both to he importation of Asiatics and of laborers under contract. The stake of * 113,000 is a large one, and a severe •t niggle will he necessary by either sicLbefore it is won or lost. It seems, nev- a great shame that our courts should be used for this species of highbinder performance. However, it is impossible to give every man free standing in court without allowing some improperly to stand there, for awhile at least. Activity in the courts is generally supposed to presage activity in money markets. No great change, however, has been noticed in our own. More than half a million dollars has been put into circulation here through the payments of our fire claims, but it has made little difference. Our mortgage indebtedness has decreased about $10,000, which is surprisingly little when we remember how many of our Chinese merchants are heavily mortgaged to banks and money lenders. The question natuarllv arises, what 13 being done with the money received ? Beyond a doubt it is being hoarded by the Chinese payees with the intention of removing to China at the first opportunity. A great and general desire seems to possess the Chinese to remove from these Islands. It seems as though every man among them who can do so is selling out or failing and so forcing settlement with his creditors and straightway betaking himself back to the Celestial country. How much this means to our business interests can scarce be imagined. The Chinese are the life of our large whoh sale houses; without them those houses are bound to be crippled, and without these wholesale houses we shall not havethat stability as a business community of which we have always boasted. To feel the effect of the withdrawal of Chinese patronage, one need only traverse our city during the Chinese New Years. Pompeii and Herculaneum seem busy marts compared to Honolulu then. In the place of the Chinese store, the small Japanese shop is appearing everywhere. Whatever may be said to the contrary, the Chinaman has, by his' stay among us, certainly gained enough education and such •lesire for comfort that he is no longer a competitor of the Jap, who can live on less and cares for less. As yet the Japanese trade with white firms is limited, but time and education will undoubtedly make him a consumer of our stuffs and he will then become more valuable economically to Hawaii. Whether or not this exodus of Chinese or some other cause leads thereto, the general business of Honolulu is still in a stagnant condition. On the Stock Exchange there is nothing at all doing. It is not uncommon to see what were formerly considered our best stocks now going without a bid for days at a time. The only large undertaking now on foot seems �9 THE FRIEND be the Alexander Young Hotel. We promised that this modern and altogether beautiful hostelry will be opened within a few days. It would seem that this house, situated as it is in the very heart of the city, is better fitted for a commercial hotel than for the tourist trade. But under liberal management, it is hoped that many now finding homes in boarding houses will go to this hotel in preference. Whatever its future, it will remain as a great and lasting monument to energy and the faith in Hawaii of one of our most substantial and longest resident business men. to are The position of Superintendent of Public Works, left vacant, or to be left vacant, by the resignation of Mr. Cooper, has found many aspirants. Some six men, of more or less ability, have placed themselves in the lists, but at the earnest solicitation of most of the business community, and even of our iconoclastic Legislature, Mr. Cooper is now reconsidering his resignation, and we have large hopes that we shall still have his valuable services in that position. The investigation of Mr. Marston Campbell's conduct in repairing roads which he deemed dangerous to traffic with stone intended for improve- in unsavory Iwilei, has been conducted with that whole-heartedness and interest which only ex parte investigation by men with their minds alreadymade up can secure. It is no wonder, therefore, that a committee report, censuring Mr. Campbell for his conduct, has been accepted by the House. But the community at large has not so done. The conscientious actions of public officials, even though in minor details perhaps unwise, do not deserve and rarely receive the opprobrium placed thereon by such men as voted for the censure resolution. nients MORAL AND RELIGIOUS MAN'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE able location of our system in respect to the great cloud-ring of stars that girdles our sky, it is strenuously denied that that Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace is an emi- ring encloses the Universe.

While treating the eminent and aged Wallace with the kindest deference, the astronomers have quite unanimously refuted his reasoning. They point out that as our Sun is only one among more than a million solar orbs revealed by the telescope, it is unreasonable to attribute to it any special advantage as to planets capable of breeding rational souls; multitudes of these visible suns are likely to be attended by equally favored planets. Even if our alleged central position were any advantage, thousands of other stars are equally central to the Milky Way, and so have a like advantage.

Geology has in like manner extended our conception of past ages to scores of millions of years; and spectroscopic astronomy is revealing to us vastly longer aeons of time occupied in the generation, growth, and fading out of suns. Thus in like manner have become enlarged our conceptions of the Divine We say with deeper meanEternity. ing, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or even thou didst form the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." But we are also overwhelmed with the thought of Man's insignificance. "What is man, that thou are mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest him?" Can it be that the Creator and Sustainer of innumerable planets, inhabited by races of human souls, cares particularly for this earth and its people? Yes, it is part of God's infinity to be infinite in the outreach of His unfailing love and mercy. We of earth are none the less loved and compassionated, because innumerable other races elsewhere are being nurtured for a glorious immortality. Thus does Theology reverently adjust itself to all that Science discloses, and finds therein enlarged knowledge of God. S. E. B. THE EARLIEST CHRISTIAN WORSHIP IN CALIFORNIA WAS PROTESTANT lii The Interior appeared the following by Rev. James S. MacDonald, D. D., which shoyv that public Protestant worship was held on the coast of California by Sir Francis Drake, nearly 200 years before Father Junipero Sierra first established Roman Catholic worship at San Diego. Drake was a scourge of Papal Spain on both the Atlantic and Pacific, and led in the destructive attack on the Spanish Armada which finally quelled the Papal supremacy: statements On a height in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco, there stands a massive granite cross. It was my good fortune to join in its consecration service, conducted by Bishoo Nicholls and his brethren. It is "The Prayer-Book Cross." It was erected at great cost as a memorial of an event of intense interest. June 17, 1579, Sir Francis Drake cast anchor in an exposed bay. known as Drake's Bay. Had he nassed through the then unnamed Golden Gate, and entered the peerless water beyond, we might have a "Sir Francis" instead of a "San Francisco Bay." But better the name of a saint, whose mission was one of peace, than that of a sailor, whose business it was to send the shins of England's foes to the depths of the sea. Sir Francis spent thirty- �THE FRIEND 10 five days on the shore of charming Marion county. The Indians came to see at one time with great pomp and ceremony. They took the white men for gods. To disabuse their minds, religious services were held in their presence, "all kneeling and joining in prayers; thus indicating that they were but creatures of the one only everlasting God. After prayers psalms were sung: and with the music the Indians were especially delighted. On July 23, after many religious ceremonies and singing of psalms, he bade farewell to 'New Albion,' and stood Out to sea." Thus the first religious services held on this Western shore of the continent were conducted according to the rites of the Church of England. It was a glorious temple, worthy of their great God and Saviour. On one hand, the vast and restless ocean; on the other, the unexplored continent, with its mountains and mysteries: bold mint Reys near, as ;i protector: and looking down upon the scene.

Of that worship the Prayer-Rook Cross is the enduring pri'-.'irial. There were nearly two centuries of silence between the ringing of God's praises at Drake's Bay and the worsbin of Father Jtini■cro Serra on the shore of San Diego Bay. that choice gem of our Southern coast. There this pioneer of the Catholic church made a settlement in 1768. and called it San Diego. This was the first of a long list of names of -.-tints given to counties, cities and streams of The CHAMBERLAIN Angeles, S. California, May 5, 1903. Having changed plans of travel so that a month was spent in California instead of a few days, it became possible to carry out a long cherished desire to visit Southern California in the Springtime, to see and enjoy the wild flowers. After threedays in Oakland, your correspondent, with a young companion to share the newjoy, traveled to San Jose and reveled in the sight of the lovely wild flowers. Great patches of color on every side; orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue and cream color, spread on the hillsides or in the meadows, or nearer still, by the sides of the railroad track as we whizzed along. Occasionally an orchard in bloom came in sight, but the time for orchard bloom was past, and the young fruit mostly set. Everywhere, in every town or hamlet we rushed through, were the blooming rose in the full glory of Spring. A brief visit at San Jose was marked by an afternoon at Alum Rock Park, a resort on the slopes of the foothills, quite near the suburbs; where some natural springs impregnated with alum and sulphur, exist, in a wild, interesting locality, which is made accessible at trifling cost by the electric cars.

The incoming crowds of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese have added largely to the missionary obligations resting uixin the Christian peo- pie. The most difficult problems for solution relate to the natives of the Islands. Their churches are at a low spiritual ebb. This is recognized by no one more than by the Hawaiian leaders. Is there cause for this condition? Few people have passed through greater or more trying changes during the past fifteen or more years. Foreign peoples from the East and the West have in large numbers invaded the Islands and secured a strong hold ii|x>ii the business and property interests because of their superior ability, industry and thrift. The English language is now compulsory in all the schools of Hawaii. The children speak it fluently, and when the next generation shall come to the front the native language will be largely of the past. Why should we blame the people if they have some suspicions and jealousies in view of these changed conditions? It is evidently a time for the most careful and faithful work, the wisest leadership and the most long-continued patience.

At the present time thereis no theological training, or practically none. The Evangelical Association must grapple with the situation at once, not only as relates to the Hawaiian churches, but also the churches of other races. The public schools of the Islands stand well abreast of those of any of our States or Territories. There are some most excellent institutions of learning, such as the Oahu College and the Kaniehamcha Schools. It is apparent that the present pastors and leaders of the churches must get the question of ministerial supply to the front in their own churches, and through a deeper spiritual life in the churches awaken a new call to the minisplans for theological training try. must be made, large enough to attract the young llawaiians, or so far as that is concerned, the young Japanese.

It has now only one Hawaiian missonary and his wife in the Gilbert Islands, and it is probable that he will soon re- visit his native land, and that he will not be again sent out. In case he is not, and no new missionaries are sent out, it would seem that the time has conic for the Hawaiian Hoard to cease to co-operate with the American Hoard in the evangelization of the Gilbert Islands." This would seem all the more evident from the fact that moreover the Training School at Kusaie has reached such a maturity and growth that it can contemplate putting its graduates, as it has already begun to do, in the positions vacated by our retiring missionaries, and the lack of a missionary packet, making stated yearly tours between this port and the Gilbert Islands, makes the school at Kusaie, and not that at Honolulu, the natural centre for missionary operations. This is the heritage which, after more than half a century's participation in the Micronesian work, we pass over to that school at its majority. During these lifty-oiu years this Hoard has sent into the Micronesian field thirty-one mission tries and their wives, all but three of whom were located in the Marshall and and aloha be sent to the Golden Gate Union of San Francisco by the retiring secretary.

The cordial aloha of the meeting was likewise extended to Miss Duff, to whom many references had heen made during the meeting on account of the marked efficiency of her service. This was the time for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and the president announced that owing to the failure of the various society presidents to respond to the call for a meeting to make nominations, the officers had been forced to do it all themselves, and proceeded to each nominate his or her successor.

After that year, reinforcements ceased. The extension of the French protectorate over these islands and the use of the French language in the schools has been one of the reasons for the passing of that mission by this Poard over into the hands of the brethren of the French Protestant Mission, who have a centre of operations at Papeete, Tahiti. The influence of the work done by our Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia and the Marquesas has been profound and far-reaching; it has resulted in the evangelization of multitudes of savage heathen, bringing peace to those who were at war, and a holy purpose to the lost; it has prepared a highway for commerce and marshaled the forces of good against the evil; it has stimulated and encouraged the great heart of Christendom in its world-wide missionary operations, and it has affected the entire Hawaiian people most benignly, most blessedly, and this at a cost, it is said, of only about $112,000.

LXI EDITORIAL AND GENERAL The 1 lawaiian Evangelical Associa- tion meets in Honolulu, July 3rd. June 30th to The summer vacation is again near at hand. How to spend it profitably, economically and restfully, are the questions which many people will be trying to answer within the next few weeks. We wish a happy time to all. The most perplexing questions that now com before the Hawaiian Hoard and its committees, are those pertaining to its educational work. What shall No. 6 190} attend it, with provision for the higher mental training of those whose abilities and inclinations designated them for the higher work of pastors and teachers, would furnish an answer to all the questions that now arise. Let this be a school for all races and both sexes, and then as fast as it became wise or necessary to give v]) the separate elementary schools, lei them be merged into this larger institution. Such a school would be vastly more economical than a continuation of present methods, besides admitting of a much higher effectiveness through a concentration of energy. With such an educational institution under way, even on a small scale to begin with, it would be easy, even now, to find a settlement of the problems which are be done with Kawaiahao Seminary, with North Pacific .Missionary Institute, with connected with the Hoard's schools. the Japanese school on Kukui street are all live questions at the present time, and Since above paragraphs were wril others are liable to be added to them as ten, the the Committee on Education, at a time goes on. meeting held on May Jjtb, passed the following two resolutions: The very statement of these questions Rewired: That, in order to expedite reveal the nature of the difficulty helps to reaching of practical results, the the and suggests its solution.

N., the past season commanded a sledge party which reached within 450 miles of the South Pole. It was the first attempt ever made to reach it. Now that systematic measures are being vigorously made to penetrate the secrets of the Antarctic ice, there seems the best of reasons to hope that the final goal will soon he attained. In the Arctic there spreads an unbroken sea, sheeted with a broken and difficult ice-pack. This condition has foiled the long-continued and most ar- duous efforts made during the last halfBut BOW that the Antarctic problem has begun to be strenuously grappled with, wonderful success has been gained. The fact seems to be fully established that high continental land extends to the Southern pole. Some of the sledging parties from the various national expeditions now attacking the problem from many sides may soon reach it. As one gases these .Mas' evenings at lb" Southern Cross erect at the south in the early night, one thinks of those ships which see its burning gems in their zenith as they lie frozen in awaiting the coming of another January to set out upon their final push for the point where latitude and longitude disapnear.

Atherton, induces a pause to note how often some one of our leading capitalists leaves his large ea/thIv interests and passes on to the world beyond, where earthly estates do not follow. It is but a short time since Mr. [senberg went, who held perhaps the largest property amassed by any man in 1 lawaii. Not very long ago occurred the death of Mr. James Campbell, another heavy sugar magnate. \\ c take occasion here to note the actual proportion of sons of missionaries among our men of wealth. Of the four men above named, only one, Mr. Athas a "missionary erton, was known man," or actively affiliated to missionary work. An impression prevails, both here and abroad, that the sons of missionaries have absorbed a large part of the wealth of these Islands. It is perhaps true that such men and those closely affiliated to them are disproportionately numerous among our capitalists. The Passing �4 THE FRIEND This might be expected front their relatively superior person*] character. But in fact, they form probably less than one-fourth of the whole number of our wealthy men. The other three-fourths are men who hold no special relation to missionary circles or their work. As a rule, our "missionary" capitalists hold their wealth for the public good, munificently applying it without ostentation to the great variety of beneficent work which here so loudly calls for their aid. We heartily pray that all of our capitalists may invest largely in heavenly stocks and bonds.

Perhaps the heaviest call is for enlarged waterworks. An old scheme has been revived to meet the need, by constructing a large reservoir in upper Xuuanu to impound the storm waters, which mainly run to waste. It is expected that by means of several hundred feet of fall from that reservoir, electric power can be secured of not less than 700 horse power. This advantage may preponderate against what many have believed to be the preferable plan of establishing more pumping stations from artesian wells, which yield an cxhaustless supply of perfectly pure water. In any case, there seems propable an early enlargement of our city water supply. Another equally needed, and perhaps more costly line of improvement is that of deepening our harbor and enlarging our dock room. The deepest ships we can now accommodate draw thirty feet and those only in very limited sections of the harbor, while the depth of only thirty feet in the harbor channel forbids such strips crossing the bar in bad weather. Hut such a limitation will not answer if Honolulu is to entertain the large ships now preparing to cross the Pacific. Very extensive and costly plans are already in progress for deepening the whole area of the harbor to thirty feet, while the passage and other portions shall go down to perhaps thirty-five feet. With this are plans, perhaps not yet fully developed, of excavating- two or more immense docks capable of holding the largest steamers These docks would cross the present waterfront, extending inland to Allen street, and obliterating the Custom House and coal and lumber grounds below Allen street.

Dr. and Mrs. Scudder arrived from Japan, and have entered at once Upon their work for the Japanese in Hawaii, under the auspices of the Hawaiian Hoard. ( )ur readers will be interested to know that Dr. Scudder is a grandson of Rev. John Scudder. M. I)., who was theerafirst oi medical missonary of the modern missions. He was a graduate of Princeton College, and went out as a missionary to India in 1819, a few months before the sending of the first missionaries, Thurston and Hingham, of the American Board, to Hawaii. Dr. John Scudder had fourteen children, seven sons and two daughters of whom grew to years of maturity, and all entered upon missionary work in India. These seven sons were all at one time members of the Arcot Mission in that country. One of these sons, the Rev. Tared W. Scudder. with seven children of the third generation, are now in service as missionaries there, while two others, of the third generation, not now living, have been missionaries in that wide field. Three of this third generation of the family have been missionaries in Japan, namely Dr. Doremus Scudder, his sister, Miss Catherine S. Scudder, and his cousin Rev. Frank S. Scudder, who is still there in Xagano. Dr. Henry M. Scudder, the father of Dr. Doremus Scudder, s]XMit ten years of bis boyhood and twenty years of his missionary life, in India. One of his books. Evidences of Christianity, has been translated into several of the languages of India, and is much used to this day. His health failing so that he could no longer live in India, he came to America and was for a few yeais pastor of a large church in San largest Congregational churches in the stale, and one of the oldest, it having been founded in l<>42. Being a pastor of a large church in the vicinity of Boston, the very head'centre of Congregationalism, he was called to fill many positions of trust and responsibility, some of which were the following: He was a Trustee of the Woburii fret library; a member of the Executive Hoard of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, which was in fact a foreign missionary society before the American Hoard was organized, and was really the mother of the Congregational Home Missionary Society; he was one of the Hoard of Directors of the Congregational House in Boston; and was also one of the managers of the Congregational library whose headquarters is in the Congregational building: and for some years was a member of the Labor Committee of the State Association of Massachusetts, which had much to do with the securing of a Sunday rest for laborers, safe-guarding the laborers' Sunday. To this busy man came the call in the Autumn of 1901 from the Hawaiian Hoard to come to Hawaii for the work of giving the gospel to the thousands of Japanese who are tilling our borders, and whose children will ere long he the most abounding element in our public schools. 11<- accepted the call with the proviso that he should be allowed a year's time in Japan in which to regain his knowledge of the Japanese language. He and his wife arrived here in February, 1902, and now, after fifteen months in Japan, are among us for genuine missionary gospel work. They are receiving the warmest welcome from all who apreciate the gospel as the power of God for the saving of mankind.

Found the schools assembled for examination. Examined the scholars, addressed them and prayed with them, and after taking a little refreshment, prepared to pursue our way. Our company now consisted of Kaahuinanii, in a small cart, drawn by a mule, with several female attendants, and a numerous train of servants loaded with baggage, such as cloth< s. bedding, food, cooking utensils, etc.. etc., of myself, and six or eight native teachers on horseback. Several of the female attendants of the Queen rode on horseback. As I have but one attendant, one or two more were assigned me to take care of my horse, and assist in carrying my baggage. After riding a few miles, some of the time through water up to the pads of our saddles, we stopped taking to examine a school, and after food, and drinking water from silver goblets, in a small grass hut, pursued our course along a large fishpond, through tall grass up to our horses' backs. Uefore we arrived at our lodging place we were obliged to lead our horses up a Steep, rough hill. The Queen's cart was carried up by hand. We arrived about dark at a few small, miserable houses near the seashore. One of them was soon made empty lor her ladyship and myself. < hit field bedsteads were soon prepared, and partitions were made by hanging up cloth, and after taking a cup of tea, singing a hymn, and commending ourselves to the care of our Heavenly Father, we laid down to rest. We arose in the morning much refreshed. Kaahumanu inquired if I slept warm, and on learning that I did not, she charged me in future to call upon her for more clothes, as she could easily furnish them. After breakfast and prayers, we pursued our way over a rough road, leading our horsey, which were unshod, over a footpath made by laving down loosely, large, rough stones. We soon arrived at a steep precipice. 1 gave up my horse and made my way down. The horses were led round another way, but down a very steep, rough precipice. All hough unshod, they received no injury. Kaahumanu went by water in a canoe. Heforc noon wt arfound rived at a school house, where we r about sixty scholars assembled.

After travelling several miles further, we stopped to examine another school. After the scholars had exhibited in reading and writing. the people assembled in the open air, and after a good address from Kaahumanu, and a short one from myself, a prayer was offered by a native teacher. We pursued our way a few miles further, with a lofty precipice on one side, and the sea �THE FRIEND 6 where We found two houses neatly prepared for our reception. As we were to spend the night here, I improved the opportunity in writing, while the native teachers went to a neighboring settlement to attend a poalima, as it is called, a meeting composed of those who are moral in their conduct. Feb'y 6. As we found ourselves well on the other, to Kaelepulu. provided for at this place, Kaahumanu concluded to spend the Sabbath here. After breakfast I rode across the extefl sive plain of Kailtia, and ascended a high hill opposite the precipice of Kootau, described by Mr. Stewart. This hill afforded a view of all this part of the island. The prospect was truly romantic. <)n the north, rolled the waters of the Pacific; on the south, a precipice many thousand feet high, extended from east to west as tar as the eye could reach. <)n the west was Kaneobe, an extensive tract of low land, intet'-.persed with numerous cottage's. On the east was the extensive plain of Kailua, partly intersected by a stream of water and one or two ponds, and bordered by clusters of house's. From this place' the eastern bluff of the island was distinctly visible. The prospect presented numerous mountains running in different directions, and separated by deep ravines. I descended from the high summit where I stood, not without some difficulty, as I was obliged to hold on by the grass to keep from falling. I arrived about noon at my lodging place, and found a man about to cross the precipice of Koolau to Honolulu, and embraced the opportunity to write to Mary. In the afternoon we examined nearly 200 scholars, talked to them, eve. Kaahumanu expects the -M-onle wherever we stop to attend to instruction and to the word of God, to cast off their old ways and turn to the new, to have nothing to do with the Jesuits, hut to attend to the instruction of the teacher who is with her, and his associates. She takes great pains to anticipate my wants, to provide me with good food, eVc. As my horse was a small hard-going one, she assigned me a much better one, which carries me as easy as any horse 1 ever rode. Feb y 7th. Sabbath evening. This has been a pleasant Sabbath. The weather is exceedingly fine and everything around seems to proclaim the goodness of the Creator. I have preached twice in the open air to 1500 or 2000 hearers, who listened with attention to the words of eternal life. After the second service was concluded, two persons were united in marriage. I have seldom spent a Sabbath more to my satisfaction, although 1 have no one with whom I can converse in my native tongue. On walking out this evening, it was pleasant to hear the voice of prayer ascending from the grass cottages. What hath Cod wrought?

W. D WESTERVELT The Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu has published several important pamphlets, which are ready for free distribution. The W. C. T, V., through its president, Mrs. J. M. Whitney, has also sent out a very important addition to the temperance literature of the islands. These pamphlets are usually in English, al- though two have been translated into Hawaiian. The Japanese have a paper published by Rev. T. Okuniura, which lends its influence powerfully in the cause of temperance. The Japanese have the largest temperance society in the Territory. suffered little change, owing to the failure of the Legislature of 1903 to secure the passage of proposed hills, except in regard to the manufacture and sale of malt liquors. These laws were in force before annexation. The Organic Act touched the question of the sale of liquors in a rather indefinite manner, leaving strong doubt in the minds of many persons as to the real status of any saltions, except as laws should be passed subsequent to the Organic Act. It is thought that no saloons, except those handling malt liquors, would have to pay license, if the case came before the Supreme Court for decision. Until that question is decided, however, the past laws are treated as the final authority, and their compilation is of great value. This summary of Liquor Laws, fairly well indexed, is for free distribution from the Anti-Saloon League headquarters, No. 5 Mclntyre building. It would be aelvisahle for those interested to take their copies and mark the laws which arc frequently broken, and thus have an easy and quick method of reference. 7 ten per cent, alcoholic strength." (2) No sale of even malt liquors can be made "to any person in a state of intoxication or to minors." Nor are minors to be allowed on the premises. (3) Nor can any such saloon be located "within 150 feet of the premises used as a school or church and occupied and used as such." The word "premises" means not only the room wherein the bar is placed, but the entire place covered by the license. It is thoroughly against the law to permit children to enter the doors of the saloon, and certainly there can be no question of violation eif law when a child or large boy, under age, enters and returns with a pail of foaming beer. It does not seem to be at all necessary to prove that the child purchased the beer. The only fact requiring proof is that the child was allowed to enter and take the liquor. Section 5 of Act 24, states the penalty of the violation of this law as follows: "Section 5.

WHITNEY Ithardly seemed possible and not at all probable that we should find the Legislature with us at the end of this month. Hut each day We read that the session is dragging on and doing little or nothing, and still the long looked for "understand"ing" between the two houses has not been reached. The Legislature is sunnosed to be at work on the appropriation bill, that is all. and only the appropriations for the next six months are under discussion; hut either because they fear that in that brief period they cannot spe'iid sufficient money, or for some other reason, more than usual trouble is found in agreeing on the amounts. The emergency bill has been passed and approved, however, and we are promised that it will not be long before the regular appropriation hill will go to the governor for his approval, Meanwhile business conditions remain unchanged. By some it is thought that there is a better feeling among business nun, that the financial outlook is better than it has been. C (thers seem hopless of any immediate change for the better. From an era of large extravagances in the formation and erection of new sugar plantations and of free-handed expenditure by the older companies, we have swung to the other extreme, as is well shown by the action of one of our best companies in paying off its bonds. Only extreme and, it would seem to outsiders, unreasonable caution would dictate a policy of paying off bondholders who do not want to be paid, with money which hundreds of stockholders are clamoring to he' paid as dividends. That a company with a capital stock of $5,000,000, and on a dividend paying basis, should, in a year of extreme depression, at one swoop clear off a fifth of its bonded indebtedness, is, to say the least, remarkable. But it shows the state of mind of of our business community, and so long as this feeling exists, money is not going to circulate freely or trade revive to any We hate received this mouth a call from Mr. Sargent, the' Immigration Commissoner of the United States.

We' do need the small farmer. The morning paper is correct in all its says of our need of him, and from a purely selfish point of view we hope that someone will take it seriously and come this way. Hut much as we need him, the small fanner, we should sooner have some one else's friends and relations try the experiment. In a land where the tly stingeth, where the canker worm and tin. CUt worm much destroyeth, where the laud is assessed at twice and thrice' its value, where' aphis, scale and hug, moth and miller unite to make it interesting for the agriculturist, on such soil, and in such a land there seems no great chance eif ease or affluence in the small farming line. Producing for a town where a couple of boxes of beans will Hood the' market, where' crops, no matter how beautiful, cannot be sold at all, where the nearest large consumer is 2100 miles away, is discouraging and sometimes disheartening, and we fear that it will be some time before our hills and valleys spread like one vast garden beneath the hands of thousands of solid substantial farmers. That money can be made here by one directly in sugar planting, however, is well shown by the life, and fortune of Mr. S. C. Allen, who this month has been suddenly taken from us.

The bar has regained what the' Territory has lost, and Mr. Cooper will no doubt add much to the already high standing of our foremost lawyers, And this is a time' when men of large legal experience and clear brain are to be needed in our practice. The Act of Congress which gave us our present gov eminent also restricted our sugar plantations in their possession of land to one' thousand acres. Hitherto it has been thought that this law could be easily evaded by merger or consolidation. Jusl now, however, there is much doubt among lawyers whether under the derision in the now famous Northern case' on the mainland such consolidatiorCwill be possible. Meanwhile, the merger of Ihe Brewer plantations, that is, those plantations for whom C. Brewer and Coin pany, Limited, is agent, seems to have fallen through. No great enthusiasm was shown .in the movement even at its inception, and many things seem to point to the wisdom of not for the immediate present undertaking the proposition. It has seemed inevitable that those plantations which were most nearly connected should, in this age of consolidation, unite. Such action has been delayed here probably longer than in any other place when1 so much money was invested in the same' industry within so small an area. Tin fact, however, is that the greatest cause leading others to unite', namely, the fierce- strife amounting to a cut-throat strugle for existence, which generally characterizes the competition between large and moneyed corporations, has been lacking in Hawaii. In our business life here we have been one large family, and most of our moneyed men have' been interested in many, rather than in a single one, of our sugar plantations. It is as interesting as it is astonishing to glance through the lists of stockholders of our various plantations and see not only what numbers of shareholders there are to each company, but also how the same names appear on almost every list. It speaks well, too, for the general integrity of the management that the people are willing to put their money into so many plantations, of most of which they can know nothing personally. So long as this condition exists, there will be little need of, and probably as little, merger consolidation or monopolization of sugar interests in Hawaii. �9 IHK FRIEND The price of sugar, as predicted last that it will occur after our sugar has been great steamer could not come up to the month, lias not varied to any extent, and safel\ landed and in the hands of the wharf for the low state of the tide, so at no rise has occurred worthy of note.

GULICK The following interesting letter from Gulick of Spain, has recently been received by Mrs. R. W. Andrews, Secretary of the Mission Children's Society. She kindly allows us to print it: Biarritz, France, 7th May, 11)03. Mrs. R. W. Andrews, Secretary H. M. C. Society, Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. My dear Mrs. Andrews: Only at a venture I write now, knowing that there is but small likelihood that this will reach you in time for the Annual Report in May (?) or June. I have been so busy and so much away from home since the new year that the time has speed away without one's realizing how fast. The twenty-ninth of April made five full years since' we moved into Biarritz Rev. Win. H. �11 THE FRIEND from San Sebastian. We had hoped that we would not be obliged to make any change until we were ready to take the Institute for Ciirls to Madrid, but the commodious house that we had occupied for so long a time was sold over our beads anil finite suddenly WC were oh liged to move. We found a house' well located, not so large as we needed but with a line and spacious garden in the rear. A large part of the furniture and books that had been brought from San Sebastian was packed anil sent to Madrid to be held there in storage until we should arrive there. By a division of labor, the pack- ing and noting of contents and shipping of over three hundred parcels large and small was performed by Mrs. Culick and her aids, while others continued with the care of the pupils and the classes, so thai there was very little if am interruption in the school life and duties. It was a great task, and tested severely the' strength of all, but we were thankful that Providence had provided us with so good a temporary home. Especially do the girls enjoy the- spacious and beautiful garden. This house however is taken only until the summer season, when the landlady will nearly double the rental. We there- fore will close the' school the middle of to their homes. Eighteen of them will go to Madrid to pass the examinations in the Government Institute ami the rest will go immediately home. As some of you perhaps know, we have bought in Madrid a very desirable' lot that had on it an old house. This building is being enlarged and altered for the school uses, but is not large' enough to receive the thirtv-fivc or forty pupils. It is therefore the plan that when the girls gather atrain for the new school year, in (October, they shall occupy hired premises near Madrid until such time as the new and larger building shall he completed, and the inauguration of the school in Madrid proper will not be attempted until it can be done with a measure of completeness. Meanwhile the' old building, reformed, will be used for a limited number engaged in Special work. In the course' of the development of this educational project for young women in Spain we have been encouraged by the warm expression of interest on the pail of influential Spanish scholars and educators, some of whom are members of the Parliament, and by newfriendships formed in influential circles. This is cause of great thankfulness on our part, and among other things is a promise of an enlarged influence and usefulness of the Institute. The work among our several statiops June, sending the girls in the north of Spain, to which the larger part of my time and strength is given, is increasingly prosperous. It is a distinctively evangelistic work, but, thirty odd wars' experience in this field has demonstrated the efficacy as an evan- gelistic agency of a vigorous educational department connected with each and all of the stations. In these mission schools, nine-tenths of the pupils iii which are from Roman Catholic families, the Bible is a prominent text book, and is studied daily. For several years our common school iii Sanlander, where Mrs. tiulick, and I were first located, and where we lived for twelve yean, has had not less than three hundred pupils and has been the largest individual school in the city. For a long time it has been frankly counted by the authorities and the community as one of the' "public institutions." In the "Festival of Trees," or "arbor day," held the first week of last April, we easily took the lead in the schoolparade, in the number of children, the neatness of their dress and in steadiness and precision in inarching and in excellence of singing. A certain reactionary element in the community protested against giving our children place in the procession, but there was such an outburst of indignant remonstrance against such an act of injustice that those of the authorities who would have wished to exclude us simply did not dare to do so. This is but one of many proofs of the strong hold that evangelical thought, teaching and practice has secured in inaii\ communities in Spain, and the genuine sympathy that exists towards us and our methods in the minds of many Catholics who are observing us. Mrs. Gulick, who has carried on for several years the great work of developing the plan of the International Instiute for Cirls in Spain, while suffering, at times acutely from chronic ill health, is for a few weeks taking a course of were full of hope, and confident of a great success in Americanizing the schools, the language and the sentiments of those people. One of our most ex- perienced teachers of Hawaiian youth, Mr. Townsend, followed that army of educators, and was assigned to a superintendency of their work on the large island of Mindanao. ( )f the actual experiences of that sanguine and zealous host of instructors, after entering upon their task, we have received very little information. It has not been reported that they were meeting with any marked success in their, work It has been said that those who opened schools in the rural districts encountered great obstacles and often endured se'vene' hardship, all of which was to be expected by pioneers of educational work among semi-civilized tribes. Hut of definite reports from them all, there has been a lack, which is not encouraging to the ardent hopes which attended their advent. Quite lately very adverse reports have been coming, as of a very general failure in the expected work of these teachers in imparting a useful knowledge of the English languge to the youth of the country. It is also said that the American teachers continue utterly ignorant A. R. GURREY, JR., HOTBT, AND ATjAKKA Furniture /)«- I""""" signed.

T. �THE FRIEND 12 of the Spanish which is the current language of civilization, as well as of the vernacular tongues, such as Tagalog and Yisayan, which are the'speech of the common people, the result being that the pupils make little actual progress in any knowledge whatever. With all allowance fe>r exaggeration and for indefinite statements, it seems probable that except perhaps in city schools, such failure may actually be the fact. Teachers experienced in imparting a knowledge of English to Hawaiians felt at the outset that the hope of success in that Filipino work was rather visionary. Progress in the use of English by Hawaians in the rural districts used to be extremely slow and painful. It became successful only in the towns where there was constant contact with Englishspeaking people, and colloquial use of the language became natural. A language cannot be taught from books alone, it requires colloquial use. A foreign language cannot possibly be made an efficient medium for imparting knowledge until the pupil learns both to speak and understand it vocally to a considerable degree. This the Hawaiian youth in the rural schools have now become somewhat able to do, and a good deal of instruction from English school books is now given them with success, especially by teachers who know at least some- thing of the vernacular. But the teaching of a strange language to ignorant pupils is itself a peculiar art, and imparting knowledge to them through such a medium requires peculiar ability. Americans are a people ready to learn by experience. (hit of the rather large and costly experiment of introducing American education to the Filipinos they will probably have gained much valuable and useful experience. (rood fruit may be hoped from it, in the creation in the cities of many important and successful schools, where the more capable youth may be brought into touch with American thought and civilization. As to the creation of any common use of English by the people at large, we regard that as quite a visionary hope, It is our belie! that a system of common schools taught in the vernacular tongue of the people, should be immediately begun and developed as rapidly as possible. To aid in such a work would be a grand field for the exertions of devoted Christian missionaries of all denominations, And no more effective way of evangelizing the ignorant exists than by imparting religious instruction to youth in their mother tongues. Probably it will long continue an interesting study of how the Divine Providence will lead and move human efforls in the enlightenment of the Philippines and in the development there of a truly Christian civilization. Luzon will lead: Mindinanao may follow, getting tight from Luzon. CHURCH NEWS ( >n our title page this month we display the picture of the Lihue Church on Kauai.

She spoke of the high place given to the women by our Lord, so different from the standard of the Jews of that day. the afternoon of April 14. There was an informal but interesting discussion of woman's work on various lines, after which reports of several committee's were heard. The committee on the anti-cigarette movement among the children of our public schools was very encouraging, quite a large number of pledges having been secured. Something has also been done to encourage school children to save their money by means of the school bank systtin. Other subjects of importance were brought up. The Advance quotes Oxford Bibles from the Literary The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evan- Digest the following facts concerning the gelical Association, on his return from a production of Oxford Bibles. Those who considerable absence on the mainland, fancy that the Bible is becoming antidiscovers a hopeful condition of the quated would do well to ponder these Hoard's finances. We say "hopeful"— that some of our money is in sight, "for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" A very large overdraft during the middle of the year was entirely wiped out by the munificence of one of our givers. This condition of affairs is not likely to occur every year in the ordinary run of things, hence, although there is strong reason to believe that we may end the year without debt, provided some of our usual generous donors help as previously, the thought of next year presents some difficult questions. We are not afraid, however—"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." We trust that our usual supporters will rally to our aid, so that our hope expressed abovemay be realized, for "we with patience wait for it." not The meeting of the W. C. T. U. this month (or for the month of April) was of more than usual interest. The subject of the meeting was woman's work. The leader, Mrs. Whitney, in her opening remarks, spoke upon the new rendering of the verse in Psalms 68:11. "The Lord gave the word.

Every yeai fuLWjoo tons of paper are used for this purpoV*alorte. Orders for 100,000 Bibles are quite common, and the supply of printed sheets is to great that an order for half a million copies can be readily filled. On an average, from 30 to 40 Bibles are furnished every minute, and this number versity Press can readily he doubled. There are no fewer than 110 different editions of the Oxford Bibles in English, varying from the magnificent folio edition for pulpit use to the "brilliant' Bible, the smallest edition of the Scripture! in the world. Of the Revised Version, four- editions are published. More than million copies of the revised New Testament had been ordered before the day of publication in May of 1881, and it is claimed that the worlcingmcn of the establishment refused a bribe of some four thousand pounds to furnish a copy of the book before the day of issue. At the banquet held at the four hundredth celebration of the beginning of the art of printing in England by Caxton, Gladstone took into his hands and exhibited fo those present a copy of the Bible which had lieen printed and hound entirely since midnight of the preceding day. The preparation of the "India paper" used by the Oxford University press is a business secret of great value. Although frentiently imitated it has never been equaled. The largest folio Bible printed in Oxford measures 19 by 12 inches, and no erratum has as vet been found in it The "Brilliant Text Bible" measures 3% by 2% inches teen a No.fi and is % of an inch thick, and bound weighs less than three ounces. In the seventeen years since the Press has been under the management of Horace Hart, the number of employees has increased from 278 to 650. One or two Germans and American MissionariesCtahroleins v a „ u c c ~. hayc appeared in our daily papers lately in re- gard to interference on the part of MiGerman authorities with the American missionaries in Ruk, Micronesia. Fuller reports are now at hand in the papers from the mainland. As there stated, the facts are as follows: On December 26th four of the stu- dents of the Mission Training School at Ruk were arrested on the charge of preaching against the German government ; and after being kept in confinement till February 16th, they were taken to Ponape, three hundred and fifty miles away. Ponape is the island on which the German Governor resides, and it is supposed that the students were taken there for trial. The American missionary resident on Ruk is the Rev. M. L. Sanson, a missionary of the American Hoard. It is stated in the reports that grave charges were also made against him, but that he was not arrested, although the captain of the German warship behaved with great insolence. The case has been brought to the attention of the Department of State at Washington by the officials of the American Hoard, as the missionaries under their direction are instructed to be loyal to the governments under which they labor, and the officers of the Board are consequently averse to accepting the statement that it has been otherwise in this case. Additional ground for appeal is also given in th: .s instance in the fact that when Germany actiuired the Spanish possessions in Micronesia, it was stipulated by the United States, and agreed to by Germany, that the rights of Americans in the islands should be preserved. This episode, indicating as it probably does, an unfriendly attitude toward the American Protestant missionary work in the German possessions in Micronesia, introduces another complicating element into a problem already full of difficulty. The Micronesian mission is the most �4 costly of all the American Hoard's missions as compared with its results, and the Board has been trying" to make arrangements by which it could turn over its work there to the Protestant societies of England and Germany, to whom the various groups of islands belong, but so far without success. It remains to be seen what will grow out of this latest development. The growth of The Teacher and the American instituPhilanthropist j as they exist tons today is due in large degree to two types of men, namely, the men who do the pioneer work in education antl religion, and Christian philanthropists, who, as the newer communities take on permanent and settled forms, furnish the -means for the support of those institutions which conserve and perpetuate the work of the earlier laborers. In the United States these two types of men are seen in the home missionaries and educators of the western frontier, and the Christian men of wealth of the eastern and middle portions of the land. These two classes of men are the bulwark of American civilization and liberty, in that they uphold the ideals of life essential among a people of democratic ideas, and endeavor to incarnate these ideals in the people by means of Christian schools and religious institutions. In Father Railey and Mr. Athertoii, who have lately passed from earth, and whose lives and work are described in another part of this paper, we have representatives of these two types of men. Roth were thoroughly American, and their influence was such as to prepare for and foster the American principles which we now wish to see dominant in these Islands. Father Bailey was the early teacher and promoter of industrial enterprises. He worked with small means among primitive conditions. He planted ideas which have borne fruit—to what extent no one knows—in the lives of the Hawaiian people, and which had their effect in the formation of a Christian civilization. Mr. Atherton reaped the material benefits which the earlier work made possible, and turned them back with a generous hand for the enlargement and firmer establishment of the institutions founded by the fathers, and for the inauguration of such new ones as the changed conditions of the later years called for. There are probably few, if any, of our institutions of the philanthropic and benevolent kind that are not indebted to him in some degree for their present status. The two men wrought in different spheres, yet they worked to the same purpose in that the larger ends sought THE FRIEND by them lay in the higher interests of humanity. Such men are the world's benefactors, and richly deserve the respect and gratitude of their fellow-men. THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF REV. EDWARD G. BECKWITH, D. D., AND MRS. CAROLINE P. ARMSTRONG BECKWITH We can recall but four golden weddings that have occurred among our acquaintances of the Island community. Mr. Beckwith, fresh from Williams College and from the paternal home in Great Harrington, amid the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts, having won the highest honors at Williams College, arrived in Honolulu in 1852 and took charge of the Royal School on the southwestern slope of Punchbowl. On April 17, 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline P. Armstrong, the oldest daughter of Dr. Richard Armstrong, then Minister of Public Instruction and founder of the common school system of these Islands, and the father also of General S. C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute for the colored people. For about five years Mr. Beckwith was principal of the Royal School, in which lie had for pupils the last sovereign and one of the princesses of the Hawaiian Islands, namely, Liliuokalani, and Princess Victoria. Besides these royal personages, many of the leading men ami women of the past half century were among his pupils. Mo algebraic equation can reveal to human view the value of the influence of this young Christian teacher upon the minds and hearts of these soon-to-be powerful leaders of the Hawaiian race. None can tell us how much of the law-abiding character of the Hawaiian people and of the peaceful conduct of the government in the forty succeeding years of troublesome and revolutionary times was due to the gentle but powerful influence of this one consecrated New England school teacher. In 1857 Mr. Beckwith was ordained to the gospel ministry, and soon after left for the United States, in company with Dr. Armstrong, where he- raised $30,000 for the endowment of Oahu College, of which he became the first president. Besides this fund raised in the States, many of the missionary fathers gave largely from their small means toward the endowment. From its foundation in 1841, to this time, 1857, Punahou School had for its principal Rev. Daniel Dole, the most of whose pupils -were the children of the missionary families. Both as principal of the Royal School and as president of Oahu College, Di. Beckwith exerted a most powerful and benign influence over a wide circle of th_ mission children. As an example of plain living and high thinking, or perhaps, more correctly, as the inspirer of lofty ideals, the good Doctor exerted untold influence over his afterward most distinguished brother-in-law, General Armstrong, who said of Dr. Beckwith that he had never met one whose ideals were as uplifting until he met President Mark Hopkins of Williams College. After a few years as president of ()ahu College, he resigned and was called to the pastorate of a church in Sacramento, California. Thence he went to Andovc-r Theological Seminary for study, and later became the pastor of a church in San Francisco, whose pulpit he filled for some years. His next charge was mi Waterbury, Connecticut, whence he returned again to San Francisco, and wis pastor of a church in the Mission Dolores. From this, his fourth pastorate in the United States, he was called in 18S7 to the pastorate of Central Union Church of Honolulu. Many of his former pupils were members of the Bethel and Fort street churches, and during tin's pastorate of six years a new and commodious building was erected on Beretania street. Early in 1894, on account of Mrs. health, he resigned and accepted a call to the Foreign Church of I'aia, Maui, where for ten years he has been the beloved pastor and eloquent preacher. "()n the morning of April 27th. ere the sun was ti|)," says Dr. I leek with, writing from Hamakuapoko, Maui, "the greetings began to break in upon our 'sweet dream of peace,' and all the glad morning the sprites that bring messages and things came trooping in." The substantial gift from their loving Honolulu friends was-accompanied by the following fitting tribute of love and esteem, penned by one of his devoted pupils, Mrs. Emma Dillingham: "Beside the path your feet have trod stand little children, youth, strong men, and those with faltering step, whose hands you have clasped, whose hopes you have stimulated, whose hearts you have strengthened, and whose faith you have sustained. Through all the years they have called you blessed, and now, on this golden day, they lay at your feet their most loyal, tender love and gratitude, praying that you may be spared yet many years to go in and out among them." o.

Mr. Bailey had been permitted, on February 24th, to celebrate his 89th birthday, when he was in his usual comfortable health. Five weeks later, on March 31, he succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at the home of bis youngest son in Alhambra, California. Mr. Bailey was born in Holden, Mass., He there made February 24, 1814. profession of religion in January, 1830. In 1836 he received appointment as in assistant missionary to Hawaii, and on November 28 was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Hubbard, also of Holelen, who was his faithful companion for nearly 58 years. They embarked December 14, 1836, on the ship "Mary Frazier," arriving in Honolulu April 9, 1837, in company with the largest band of missionaries ever sent here, comprising fifteen men with their wives, with two single ladies. Mr. Bailey's first location was at Kohala, removing thence in 1840 to assist in Lahainaluna Seminary. Thence in 1841 he removed to Wailuku to cooperate with Miss Ogden in conducting the Boarding School for girls at that place, in which work he remained until 1849. After that time, Mr. Bailey labored in various special and general educational work for Hawaiians, always active also in spiritual labors. After a short time he became self-supporting by agricultural work. Early in the sixties he engaged in sugar culture, and conducted the eatliest manufacture of sugar in Wailuku, which was extended by his son William with great success antl later became mergeel in the prosperous Wailuk'i plantation. Mr. Bailey also had an active part in starting the Haiku Sugar Company. In such enterprises he acquired a very moderate competence. During the whole of Mr. Bailey's 44 years in Wailuku he continueel to have a ieading influence in both educational and spiritual labors in that district, in cooperation with the missionary pastors there, and latterly the native pastors. He v.aj active in Sunday School work and in helping in the Sabbath and week-day preaching, a labor that he loved. He gave important aid in the erection of the new stone church in Wailuku some twenty-five years ago, being the archi- . in the Training Schools for Hawaiian girls; from 1856 to 1880 his aid was a very large factor in creating and maintaining the Maunaolu Girls' School of Makawao under its various teachers and principals. After repeated destruction of the buildings by fire he gave much personal labor to their reestablishment. The great prosperity and success of that school is owing in a large measure to Mr. Bailey's wise and efficient labors in its behalf. With strength unimpaired by age, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey left their Wailuku home in 1885 and removed to California, where a son was in prosperous occupation. There Mrs. Bailey died in iBt)4. During his remaining years Mr. Bailey spent considerable intervals on Maui, where two sons were living, but continued to make his home with other two It should be especsons in California. ially noted that a very delightful occupation of his old age was that of oil-painting, chiefly of landscapes, an art which he began to cultivate after middle age with much success. Excellent specimens of his handiwork adorn many homes in Hawaii nei. By his five sons Mr. Bailey left a largo number of grandchildren, nearly all adult, and several descendants of the fourth generation. A very sad bereavement was the sudden removal of the fourth son, who was swept from the quarter of a steamer by a breaker on the bar when entering Golden Gate, and seen no more. Three sons in prosperous circumstances survive their father. All who knew Father Bailey number him high among the noble and saintly Christian men who wrought together so successfully under God's wonderful guidance to redeem the Hawaiian people from their ancient low estate. The last of those good men has now passed away ; three aged women still remain, one of them, Mother Parker, lacking little of her century of years with a blessed record of loving piety and cheerful, devout toils. S. E. B. . JOSEPH BALLARD ATHERTON In the death of this esteemed Christian gentleman, which occurred on the evening of April 7th, our Honolulu community was called to mourn the loss of one of its foremost and worthiest citizens, and one whose life and activities had for many years been so closely interwoven with its various interests as to form a prominent element in it. As in the ease of so many men who have exerted a molding influence in the Hawaiian Islands, we go back to New England for the beginning of his career. Mr. Athtect. Mr. Bailey was especially interested erton's ancestors on his father's side were 5 English, and came to New England early in its history. An indication of their character is given in the fact that one of them, who was a Tory, and whose sympathies during the Revolutionary war were with the English, so that he refrained from taking part in the struggle, was yet held in such esteem by his American neighbors that after the war was over he was appointed a selectman in the New Hampshire town in which he lived. Early in the last century Mr. Atherton's father married a young woman of Scotch descent by the name of Eliza Robinson, who became the mother of nine children, of whom Joseph was the youngest. These children all grew to manhood and womanhood, although five of them died between the ages of 21 and 25 years. The only member of this family now living is Mrs. Sarah A. Gilman, the mother of Mr. J. A. Gilman and Miss Carrie A. Gilman, of this city. Mr. Atherton was born in Boston, Mass., November 9, 1837, and received his education there in the public schools. After leaving school he found employment in one of the wholesale commission houses of his native city, and remained in this position until he was forced to leave on account of a failure in health. ()n leaving his work in Boston, he made the long trip around Cape Horn, and in 1859 arrived in Honolulu, where he found a home in the family of Mr. S. N. Castle, and employment in the firm of Castle & Cooke. In this connection he spent the rest of his life, passing successively from the position of clerk to that of partner, and finally, in 1894, to the presidency of the firm. The original members of this firm were Messrs. S. N. Castle and A. S. Cooke, whose children and grandchildren constitute a large aid influential part of the business community in Honolulu today. The firm of Castle & Cooke became interested at an early date in the development of the sugar industry in the Islands, and thus Mr. Atherton naturally came to be closely identified with this business. He took a leading part in the starting and carrying on of several of the most important sugar plantations of the Islands, notably those of Ewa and Waialua. Later also he was one of the organizers and owners of the Bank of Hawai:, and in addition to these enterprises, he was interested in many smaller concerns, and filled important positions in them. The wide outreach of his energy and influence is seen in the fact that when he felt it to be his duty to lay down the burdens that he had carried, he resigned from thirty-nine organizations of different kinds in which he had been, in one way or another, concerned. This wide connection with different enterprise* �6 showed another marked equality in his disposition, namely, his ability to wortwith other men. As one of His neighbors said of him in this regard, he held his own opinions firmly, but he was nevei antagonistic; and for this reason his advice and co-operation were widely sought. None of the organizations, however, to which he belonged were political. While he believed in good government and lent his aid to all right measures, he remained essentially a business man, and took no part in politics beyond that of a faithful citizen. In his family life Mr. Atherton was ever kind and faithful. On June 29, 1865, he married Miss Juliette Montague Cooke, the daughter of one of his early employers in the firm of Castle & Cooke. Six children were born to them, of whom five are still living. These are Charles H. Atherton, now in his father's old firm; Frank C. Atherton, assistant cashier in the Bank of Hawaii; Alexander M. Atherton, a young physician ; Mrs. Mary Atherton Richards, and Miss Kate M. Atherton. The other child, a boy, died at the age of seven years. The home life thus constituted was of the happiest and most wholesome kind. The cares of business were never allowed to intrude; no matter what the anxieties or worries of the office or the market might be, they were not permitted to cast a shadow over the family circle. This was sacred to its members. Here the children were in the closest intimacy with their father, but in no careless or irreverent way. Obedience was required and rendered at the same time that youthful spirits were allowed full freedom of expression. As is usual in such cases, the family life was inspired and guided by Christian example and teaching. Family worship had its place in each day's duties. The children were required to commit to memory portions of Scripture and prepare the lesson for the Sunday school. Nor did the father's interest in the children cease with their childhood. It followed them in later years when they had gone from bom.-. In these absences he wrote a weekly letter to each one. giving all the newsy details of the home and community happenings, so that the child was kept in touch with the home life and its environment even when far away. The religious needs of the community always made a strong appeal to Mr. Atherton, and he identified himself with < hristian work from the beginning of his life here. He was, in all, twenty-one the superintendent of the Fort and Central Union Sunday Schools, and always, when not superintendent, he was a teacher. For this work he made careful preparation during the years Street THE FRIEND week, not leaving it till the last moments. As a member of the church also, he was faithful in attendance upon all its services. He served the two churches above mentioned as treasurer for twenty-two consecutive years. At prayer meeting, which is a test of faithful membership, he was invariably present when at home and in health. In the success of the Young Men's Christian Association, of which he was a charter member, he always took an interest, and helped it by his personal service as well as in other ways. He had served many years as a member of the Hawaiian Hoard, and was its president at the time his last illness came upon him. Through his connection with the Board he was brought into intimate relations with the different branches of its work. Ile was an advisor in the management of the Kohala and Kawaiahao Girls' Seminaries, as well as a large contributor to the work among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. In all this work of the Hawaiian Board he took a broad view. He believed in far-reaching and substantial methods, and, as all the workers under the Board know, he was always ready to listen to suggestions and to study plans mr a w se enlargement of the Board's work. He grasped the situation in its broader aspects, and for this reason was particula Iy helpful to all who sought his advice. These many connections with the religious and charitable institutions of the Islands led to many calls on his .generosity for financial aid. which was given with a free hand. Although possessed of large wealth, Mr. Atherton never used it for ostentatious display, either in his home or in his personal dress or habit.. He spent little for ornament or self-indulgence. He held that his possession of wealth was a stewardship, which he was to discharge for the highest ends. This led him to the belief that a man of wealth should dispense such a portion of it as is to be devoted to benevolence during his lifetime, instead of in legacies after bis death. He acted upon this principle and gave largely—how largely, perhaps few besides himself knew. One of his last acts of benevolence was the cancelling of a debt of the Hawaiian Hoard amounting to about $12,000. This was lone after he was taken ill. Mr. Atherton was not a literary man in the ordinary sense of the term, al■hough he was widely read in certain 'ines pertaining to his business, especially those relating to labor and mone\ oroblems. Hi contributed a characteristic article on"The Future Maintenance if Our Christian Work" to the American Board number of The Fkiknd. H: was a member also of the Social Science Club for many years. The last meeting ' -- of the Club before his illness was held at his house, and he read the paper of the evening. Mr. Atherton's whole life had been shadowed by a hereditary tendency to weakness of the lungs. This resulted last November in several severe hemorrhages, which left him in a very critical condition. He made a slow improvement, however, until some time later he was taken with an attack of the prevalent dengue fever, which, although he survived the attack, left him in a weakened condition, from which he had not the strength to rally, and he passed away on the evening of April 7th. His immediate family were all with him at the end, except his son Alexander, who reached home the next day. A funeral service, at which only the family and relatives were present, was held at the family residence on the afternoon of April Bth, and a public service was held in the Cential Union Church at 3 p. m. on April 9th.' An unusual mark of respect had been shown to Mr. Atherton in the lowering of the flags of all nationalities to halimast—those in the harbor, as well a. those up town. At the hour of the funeral the business houses in town were closed, and work on the plantations of which Mr. Atherton was president was suspended. The church was filled with the prominent people of the city and with many representatives of people from outside. The platform and organ loft were loaded with a profusion of flowers, which had been sent in by sympathizing friends, and many of which were wrought into elaborate and beautiful designs. In the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. \V. D. Westervelt r>flkiated, assisted by Dr. S. E. Bishop and Rev. G. L. Pearson, of the Methodist church. The services were simple and brief, and when they were over many of the friends ard townsmen of the deceased followed the urn to its last resting place in the old historic cemetery on the old Mission premises back of Kawaiahao church. Here it was deposited in the earth and the funeral services brought to a close. We make no attempt to sum up 'he results of Mr. Atherton's life and influence. This is never possible in the life of any gtxnl man ; such influences are too subtle and far-reaching. Hut we may safely say that his influence will be perpetuated and its power more and more felt as the causes for which he lived and which be strove to build up, extend their influence and show their results in char/. L. acter and living. "Truly it is not to those whom God loves most, not to His favorites, that he gives peace, prosperity, affluence, with cold, hard hearts."—Exchange. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. The recent death of Hon. J. H. Athertakes away one of the most persevering as well as one of the most helpful temperance workers in our Islands. He was treasurer and also one of the trustees of the Anti-Saloon League until stricken by his fatal illness. His advice in the executive committee meetings of the League was of great value. Mr. Atherton was identified with many temperance efforts during his life in Hawaii. It seemed to make little difference whether they were transient or not. Ile aided them while they lived. This is one of the best principles upon which to build a life of usefulness. Continued sowing and reaping and sometimes changing the character of the crop makes a farm productive. It is the sum of all the benevolent deeds which makes an eventful life. Mr. Atherton joined the in 1859, in this spirit. The original minutes of this unique society recently came into the writer's hands. It lived only two years. Its pledge allowed its members to stop drinking for six months or for one year. This pledge was to be renewed. The purpose was to encourage some of the poor fellows in Honolulu to make a fight with the hope of ultimate perseverance. Mr. Atherton anel Rev. Dr. Damon joined the society, pledging themselves not to drink intoxicants foi a year. The world needs more of this spirit of patiently aiding in little things. ton D WESTERVELT is working for the majority of his constituents while upholding the liquor. The old story is very much in point. Three young men were seated near a window in a crowded building. They decided that they wanted the winelow open. One of them opened it. Disapprobation was manifest on all sides, and the window was doted. The young rain scattered and began to send notes to the chairman of the meeting asking that this window be opened. The notes were multipled until the chairman announced that owing to the desire of the large majority of the people seated in a certain portion of the hall, he must order a certain window to be opened. No vote was called for —the three men had made themselves a majority. It is one of the rules of human nature that apparent realities ars tfae moat difficult to unveil. Hut just now and here in Hawaii the fears of having the question tested by any fair means is so self-evident that even a bat could see it, let alone a politician who wants to become a member of the next Legislature. The idea of "local option" has come to stay, and will be explained and discusse 1 throughout all these Islands before the next election. Besides the consideration of local option, the Legislature has acted upon what is known as the saloon keepers' bill and also upon the beer bill. The beer bill provided for licensing the sale of malt liquors alone for a license of $250. For some years past licenses have for "light wine, granted been beer, and ale" saloons. This bill was vetoed by Governor Dole because of its lack of restrictions. In the House, on a motion seconded by Jonah Kumalae, the bill was passed at once over the Governor's veto. In the Senate, on first ballot the veto was sustained, but Senator Achi, who voted against the veto, moved a reconsideration and finally won over one member so that the necessary twothirds was secured and the bill passed over the veto. It seems as if Senator. Achi's motion to reconsider was thoroughly illegal, and the epiestion concerning the right of government to issue license could easily arise in any court whenever any lawyer could thereby benefit his case. The status of liquor legislation, now that the Territorial Legislature has closed its session, is rather chaotic. The Local Option Bill was "laid on the table" in the Senate and never reached consideration in the House. This action was taken in the Senate by Senators Achi, Cecil Brown, J. T. Brown, Kaiue, Kalauokalani, and Woods; while Senators Baldwin, Dickey, Isenberg, Paris, and Wilcox favored passing the bill, Senators McCandless and Crabbe not voting. This position in regard to the fairest possible legislation shows that the liquor interests art completely united in their fear of allowing the majority of the voters any opportunity to express themselves by ballot. They claim that the majority of the people want liquor—but they do everything in their power to keep the majority from voting in favor of saloons. This is so evidently inconsistent The liquor bill of the saloon keepers that we wonder how any intelligent member of the Legislature can think he was the result of an effort to meet an 7 issue which many men think was made in the act of Congress by which the Territory of Hawaii was organized. This Organic Act remanded the liquor ques- tion to the Territorial Legislature for proper legislation. Failing tlefinite laws, the Territory would have no right to give licenses. Many prominent lawyers, as well as others, have held that this is a correct interpretation of the Orgaiv.c Act. The Anti-Saloon League even prepared to test the case last fall, but finally decided not to press the matters because the session of the Legislature was not far off. The saloon keepers' bill suffered many vicissitudes. It was fairly well amended in the Senate and then, for some inexplicable reason, was held up in the House day after day. It was not because the majority of the members of the House favored temperance. As a matte-; of fact, it was difficult to get the House to pass any restriction on the sale of intoxicants. The House even passed "the bill for Sabbath breaking"—which was killed in the Senate. Whatever the motive might be. the bill was held up in the House and at last passed after conference by both Senate and House, in the rush of the close of the legislative session —too late to receive the signature of the Governor and become a law. This leaves the question open as to the legality of licensing any saloons. In all legislation concerning liquors, gambling, Sabbath breaking, and the more vicious forms of vice, the two native ministers, Kaili and Oili, stood firm as a rock. These Hawaiians had backbone, even if they couldn't influence the other native Legislators. As a rule, the natives "talked" temperance and voted for the saloon. They injured themselves more than any other people, fjr they could not deceive any one concerning their real character. Due honor should be given to those who stood firm. Mr. Theodore Richards has been studying one of the most beneficial movements of modern courts of justice for the purpose of lessening crime. Juvenile courts are being established, in which the young offender is treateel to a system of probation as well as to a fear of the penalty for wrong doing. The judge in the juvenile court has the right to suspend sentence and compel the chilel to make regular reports, properly certified, in regard to the every day life. The result has been very beneficial in lessing crime and leading to the development of good characters. �THE FRIEND 8 GENERAL COMMENT BY W. L.

For this great good fortune we are indebted principally to Mr. P. L. Weaver, whose indefatigable labor in behalf of the bill has carried it through. This should earn for him the enduring thanks of the community. Time and space prohibit us from so much as touching on the multitude of interesting and excellent changes made in our statute books. Many of them show the hand of our Chief Justice, and are the result of great and untiring work. His name will long be remembered, and the work he has done in framing the laws will have a most lasting effect on the administration of justice among us. Turning from the political to the.commercial side of our life here, we find that we have not yet recovered our former prosperity, and that we are still living in hard times. We have also discovered that we are under the heel of the Sugar Trust, and that for every pounel of sugar sent to the mainland we are being mulcted a half a cent. The only comfort we get, and small comfort it is, lies in the fact that we are in large and good company antl that all the cane sugar producing world is being squeezed even as we. Great quantities of sugar lie at our docks waiting for bottoms, and the price may rise before it reaches its destination. We have every reason to believe, however, that the mighty trust will see to it that such is not the case, and we may expect with confidence that no matter what the price may be between now and then, it will suddenly drop when any large quantity of sugar appears off Delaware Breakwater. The sisal industry is claiming more and more attention and the reports that come from the markets show that the Hawaiian fiber is to have from the first a high rating and a steady demand. More than to any one else, praise is due to Mr. Turner of Sisal, Ewa, for his untiring and persistent labor in introducing the sisal and placing its culture on a sound commercial basis, and the country may yet rise up and call him blessed. We have suffered from a boom7"we are now feeling its results, but the integrity and high moral standing of our business community will yet carny us through and we shall be a happier and, let us hope, a wiser people than when sugar stocks were selling at five times their value and land at a figure which would make the brokers of New York and London blush. �9 THE FRIEND The Vantage Ground of Integrity George McDonald, in the story oi David Elginbrod, has a fine passage in which his hero is made to relate his feelings at the death of his father. Translated out of the broad Scottish dialect in which it is written, it reads as follows: "When my father died I remember well. I was so proud to see him lying there in the cold grandeur of death, and no man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him, that I just gloried in the midst of my tears. He was but a poor old shepherd, with hair as white as the sheep that followed him; and, truly, as they followed him, he followed the Great Shepherd ; and he followed and followed till he just followed him home." The thought of the passage is humble in its setting, but profound in its significance. The old shepherd had found out a lift secret that not only brought him triumphantly through its cares and temptations, but whose nobility and power were reflected back upon his son. Nor is the picture an impossible one. We can all think of lives to which it will, with little or no modification, apply. Still, this would be the exception rather than the rule. How often in our own personal experience are we haunted with the thought that we have not lived up to our best, so that if the truth were spoken of us, it could not be said, "No man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him." Even in Christian work, with all our multiplied organizations and machinery, how often comes the sense that the something in ourselves, «/hich would give life and vigor to it all, is lacking? Moreover, in too many lives, in all departments of effort, are there open manifestations of failure, so that the words of the novelist gain their force more from the lower side of life which they suggest than from the higher side which they depict. Now in all such feelings and types of life there is weakness revealed. We instinctively feel that such lives are not able to stand the test—that if called to give account of themselves they would fail; and the question is forced upon us, is there any vantage ground which an earnest soul can occupy, and in which it shall be master over the circumstances of its environment? In which, in the loss of all material things, and even of reputation itself, it shall still be secure against final defeat? It is clear at once that if there be sue« a stronghold it lies in the realm of the moral rather than the material. No plan of life that takes in all the facts and gives assurance of final success can be built on life's physical relations alone. Man is a spiritual and immortal being whose very nature is attuned to the principles of righteousness and demands integrity of moral character as a condition of its highest welfare. True success in life attaches to that part which endures. This is not the material. All human experience teaches that men have no teal hold on the material. It is theirs for only a short time at the most, and then is taken from them, and they are ushered into the realm of the spiritual and eternal. It is among these that they find, if at all, the vantage ground from which no power can drive them. This is true because it is in this realm that we find the powers that are omnipotent and immutable; and these powers are on the side of righteousness. This is finely suggested in the exultant ques tion of the Apostle Peter when, after saying that "the eyes of the Lord arc over the righteous and his ears are open into their prayers," he flings out, almost as a challenge, the query, "Who is it that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?" How this brings us back to the old shepherd, who followed his Master, and "followed and followed till he just followed him home." A follower of that which is good. Here is the secret of his victorious life, and here we meet the assurance that behind every life founded on truth and righteousness is the love and omnipotent power of God. To such a life there can be no failure. It moves steadily on through the mutations of material things without disturbance, and faces, at last, the issues of eternity without fear. To be a follower of that which is gocxi is, therefore, to be linked to the power that rules, the power under which righteousness shall ultimateunder which ly triumph, and no soul that has stood firmly for its own integrity will ever suffer loss or have cause to fear. This is an impregnable position. In the case of the one who is conscious of some lack or weakness in himself, there is some test which has not been met, and from which there is a shrinking. In the consciousness of having met the last requirement of the moral nature, there is also the assurance of safety. He who has this consciou.ness knows that his highest interests are secure, no matter what may happen in the sphere of material things. It gives strength to his convictions, and power to his actions. It shifts the goal of life from the realm of the temporary and unstable to that of the immutable and eternal. It thus helps him to see things their real value and in their true relations. The wealth or position which, by one who holds a lower view of life, woule be counted success, to him are but an incident or an added opportunity ant means for a higher service to the world. The checks and failures which arise from the limitations of human power or wisdom, and which the world counts as defeats, are not necessarily so to him. Many times they are the evidence of wise overruling on the part of the powers above him, in the interests of a higher and more beneficent result. It is. clear that one who holds this position, holds a position of high advantage. As a follower of tha which is good, his associations wil be only with those things that are most uplifting and helpful, and in these associations lower anel baser things will more and more lose their power to appeal to him. As he gives to the world and tt God, he will gain for himself. In rea influence, power and self-respect he wil increase as the greatness of his vantage ground is more and more revealed to his own understanding. From this vantage ground, too, personal power and influence can best be exerted on others. The great enterprises and reforms that are to save the world and bring in the better day, must be wrought out by those who occupy this high position. "A thing is never settle* till it is settled right," someone has said clearly this is an inehcation of a latent feeling that men have that integrity must finally prevail and that there must come at last a "new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.' Any position in which the moral integrity is not maintained is weak. One may bolster it up in the guise of respectability, but he cannot save it. Sooner or later it will fail. Whoever sacrifices his integrity in unscrupulous methods of business or over-reaches or oppresses in any way his fellow-men has thrown down his defences and in due time the enemy will carry them. When anyone, from long familiarity with the practices o wicked men around him, has learned to condone their offences and to tolerate them as not so bad after all, he has put his vantage ground in danger. There can be no compromise with evil, or excusing of it. The man who would keep the integrity of his soul must guard it as never an army guarded its fortifiee positions, for every position is weak except the one in which he is completely master. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life " are the words of Old Testament wisdom. at �THE FRIEND 10 "Who is he that will harm you if ye be follower of Jesus Christ, as was George. of the United States Magnetic Station at followers of that which is good," is th.

NOTES FROM THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION Mr. Delaporte, under several dates in January, writes: Several hundred persons more than last year now attend worship. Our church has attained a membership of ninety-eight, and there are many canditlates for baptism. At a service a few days ago we counted all the followers of our work, and found that 974 persons are worshipers at our different stations; 932 people were present at that service. This is a very good showing out of a total population of, say, 1,500. May God save and truly convert these people. At our monthly meeting in August, and at our farewell meeting before leaving for Kusaie, nearly one hundred heathen men, women antl children came and publicly announced that they had forsaken their heathen gods and idols, and that from now on they wantetl to serve and learn about the meek and lowly Nazarene. For two nights, while we were waiting and watching for the steamer, the poor people would not leave us; hundreds of them slept in the schoolhousc and in the mission yard, waiting to give us a final handshake when the steamer should be , t» in sight. The reception the people gave us on our return was equally hearty—so different from the reception we receivetl November 9, 1899, when we first landed. Since our return seventy-six persons have repented and desire baptism. Thus we have a total of perhaps 180 who have forsaken heathenism since last September. We have now three church buildings —one at Oro, another at Ewa, and a third at Meneng, and a chapel at Buata. Another chapel is in course of construction at Anibare. E Babo, the most powerful ghostwoman in the past, was baptized at oit'last communion. This was a signal victory. But two years ago no one would have thought this possible. She has made a good confession; What this meant only the woman herself knows. No more presents, no more power or sway over the people, and, above all, she had to acknowledge before all the people the frauds she had practiccel on them in former tlays. To win such an one for ( hrist gives us encouragement indeed. Three day-schools are still maintained by the mission. Most of the children are very faithful, and cause us little or no trouble. It has been hard work to teach at three different stations, but God gave us the needed strength, and we were * While The glad to do it. Many old people, who otherwise would not have come to our services, have been brought to meeting and led to repentance through the influence of the children who attend school. In order to give some children the same opportunities as at Jaluit, we opened a German school when we came back from Kusaie, of which I took charge. The year 1902 was full of literary work. During the year we translated, printed and bounel the gospels of Matthew and John, and the Epistles to the Galatians, First and Second Timothy and the Three Epistles of John. Besides the above, a little hymn-book containing sixty-six hymns has been prepared. As we had no printing press, we decided to accept Messrs. Channon's and Rife's invitation to come over to Kusaie, 400 miles from here, and have our books printed there. In two months and six days our work there was done. Dr. Rife printed some, while Mr. Channon and the Gilbert Island boys tlid the rest. Mr. Channon also bound 225 copies of the Scriptures and the 500 hymn-books, leaving but 275 of the portions of the New Testament to be bounel at Nauru. We were glad to be able to bring to our people such a valuable Christmas present as these Scriptures and hymn-books are. Last The AMERICAN BOARD (December) NUMBER of THE FRIEND To secure the widest possible recognition of AMERICAN BOARD work in the Islands Send 1 1 in stamps with address to Manager Friend I Lv ioc P. O. Box 489 �THE FRIEND Dr. Rife very kindly let me have a young man to assist us as a teacher fcr a period of three years. The young man and his wife are very bright, and will, I trust, make good workers. We plan that the contributions of the native church will be devoted toward the support of these helpers, and we must be very economical. If any one in the home-land should feel like making a special annual donation towards the expenses of the training and day schools, I am sure that the treasurer of the Pleasant Island Mission, Rev. O. H. Gulick, would forward it to us. Will you not pray that Pleasant Island may be fully won for Christ? There still remains much to be done. The deacon of our church but a few years ago killed several men; another chief wdio lately suffered for Christ's sake was one of the most wicked men on the island. Still another Christian, the chief whom we baptized the other tlay, in the most cold-blooded manner shot and killed a woman, and also tried to kill the infant which she held in her arms. Last Sabbath this same infant, now a young woman, and the man who tried to kill her some years ago, both came for the first time to the Lord's table. Men who only two or three years ago were leaders of the immoral south sea dances are denouncing them today. and would not even think of permitting their children to look on. Men and women who gave their very last possessions to their heathen priests and doctors us. laugh at them now. And yet there arc those who declare that Christian missions are a failure! The people themselves contributed during 1902 something like $140 towards the support of native teachers, training school and church. Not a bad showing, considering the fact that they only get $1.50 for a thousand cocoanuts, and many people have to carry their nuts two or three miles to the next trading l ation. Mrs. Delaporte and I have each of us traveled more than a thousand miles on our bicycles during the past year in going to and from our out-stations and in visiting the people. Mrs. Delaporte, at the time of writing this, and for about two months past, has been far from well. Tf we had the means and opportunity, I would send her for a season to a cool climate to recuperate, although I doubt very much that she could be induced to go. She loves these 1-cople, and I believe it woulel be a sad day for her if she had to leave them. I'.oth our little ones arc well and strong, and give us much joy. At the close of this letter I must most sincerely thank all the friends who have so faithfully helped to maintain this nission with their means and prayers. May our Heavenly Father, in His own time and manner, recompense you all. THE END OF AN UNPLEASANT EPISODE Sidney Casseroles are made of what is known as French fire-proof ware—a heavy poroelain.

Gulick It may not be amiss to make a slight record of an episode that has been far from pleasant. It happened thus. I went with my family to a beach near Imabari in September, 1901, foi ten days' sea bathing, taking with me my kodak. Shortly after using it one day in public a policeman called, informed me that I had broken the laws, as we were then within two miles of a fort, and all such things are proscribed within a radius of seven and a half miles. He wanted to see my views. As they were still undeveloped, I let him take my plates, and they were developed by the police department. Omitting many details, after a preliminary examination I was cited to appear in person at the Matsuyama local court. As the case was perfectly simple I employed no lawyer. The attorney for the State, after describing my crime, asked that I be fined ten yen and have my camera confiscated. I minutes in spoke thirty reply, asserting my innocence. I mentioned the lack of suitable notice boards, the publicity of my carrying my kodak, and of my taking the 13 photographs without receiving a hint from any one of my wrong-doing—although some one went to the neighboring village to inform the police. I pointed out that the police had themselves developed the photos, my act being therefore incomplete, and I also urged the failure of the pictures to show anything except my children in bathing clothes and in a boat with an old pine tree in the back ground. These all proved tuy innocence. If, under the circumstances, the law required my punishment, as 00 crime could be lighter than mine, the penalty should be the lightest allowed. Judgment was pronounced that aftetnoon, namely, the confiscation of only the plates and a fine of five yen. I supposed that would end the matter, but the Procurator appealed on behalf of the State. A month later I was accordingly summoned to appear before the Hiroshima a Court of appeals, where I second time. This time, following ccrtmsel, I had the help of a lawyer, but with no apparent effect; the Prosecuting Attorney asked that the fine be five yen, but that the entire camera be confiscated; I made the same pleas as before, and the lawyer also made his appeal, but the judgment rendered was in accord with the request of the Prosecuting Attorney. In the meantime I had been to Tokyo, seen friends and two or three lawyers, and conferred with the United States Minister, the late Colonel Buck ; they all thought in view of the disabilities attaching to one who had been convicted of a crime, I would better make every effort to have the courts pronounce me innocent. When the second judgment" was rendered I accordingly appealed to the Supreme Court, but without result, the judgment of the Hiroshima court being confirmed. Eight months after the matter was settled in Tokyo I received word from my Hiroshima lawyer saying that the camera would be sold to the highest bidder, and that I might make a bid. I accordingly did so, and have now received word that my bid of five yen was successful. After eighteen months lying in government hands I now get my camera back again, bringing this unpleasant episode to an end. It suggests reflections which may perhaps as well be left unrecorded. But it may not be amiss to note that this law forbidding the taking of all pictures within certain prescribed distances of forts is a law working not only to the serious inconvenience and expense of many wholly unsuspecting and innocent foreigners, but is also a great and absolutely needless burden on countless Japanese who live within the prescribed limits; for they are not allowed to do many things on their own prop- �THE FRIEND 14 erty without military permission. For instance a farmer whose land may be hidden away between two hills whollyinvisible from either sea or fort is liable to a fine if he plots his land, or levels it, or even removes an insignificant shed from one part to another without receiving authority from the military office, which may be miles distant. Not omy is the law a heavy burden on the farming people, and the cause of much ill-will among the innocent traveling public, but it is absolutely useless in accomplishing the end in view, namely, to prevent an enemy from gaining military knowledge of the surroundings of forts.

IN MEMORIAM An Mi-: Day KeILOOG She came to us to take charge of the [apanesc Kindergarten in Honolulu—a frail, lovely girl, with sweet voice and beautiful eyes that brightened with happy merriment or dimmed with tender pity. Her whole heart was in her work, whether she was laughing with the littiv ones in their games, or soothing their cries with her gentle voice; for she loved them when they were merry and gay, am: when they wire fretful and unhappy. No need was too trivial for her sympathy: no little one's hurt too repulsive for the ministering of her hands. After kindergarten hours she- visited the dark homes of her pupils —homes where little of such She gathered sweet light penetrated. the children into Sunday school; shetaught in the Japanese night school; she even found time to study the Japanese language, in order that she might reach the very he-arts of the people whose homes she was visiting. When the time came for her return, although urged to remain, she felt that a daughter's duty called her home. The Japanese showed their deep appreciation of her work at their "Farewell Good-bye Party." where they expressed their gratitude in parting addresses, and in the costly present* which they had brought her. She left our sunny shores, that had made her stronger, but kept in that "inner mind" their beauties, which sin- said would be hers always. Brave and true, we had known her, holding up lit r head, fighting pain with sunny cheerfulness — the flower was too frail! For us in Hawaii she came and went, but only angels can tell of all the brightness left by that sweet, womanly presence. WAIMEA Undoubtedly the district of Waimea, on the Island of Hawaii, is one of the most healthy spots of the entire Territory. On the 2nd day of December, 1829, it was visited by a deputation of the American mission then established in the Islands. This deputation was composed of Messrs. Judd, Green. Andrews and Chamberlain, and their purpose was to explore the country and locate a sanitarium. Three spots were spoken of in their report as worthy of consideration, nanie- ly, Kealii. These Puukapu. Waikoloa and spots were located relatively to the three streams which flow down from the Kohala mountains, and on the 30th of January, iSjO, Dr. Judd and Mr. Ruggles were appointed '"to go to Waiiiua and immediately commence an establish ment." The spot they chose was near the Waikoloa stream, where later the present home of father Lyons was located. In those early days its climate must have been tempered by the forests that covered the Kohala hills and stretched to the eastward down across the \\ aimea plains as far as the I laniakiia forests. We have vivid remembrance of a day spent in 1863 floundering through those forests on our way from Waimca village- to Kuktiihacle. We had to have a guide, the road was so indistinct and difficult and so frequently crossed by cattle trails. Indeed, so hidden was it from the sun by arching trees and giant ferns that it was hardly better than a morass, into which our horses would sometimes sink almost to their saddle girths. The traveler who now passes that way, ."fter passing through the homestead fgion, will find an open plain with only the stumps and roots of the forinei dense forest. For miles upon miles the country is bare of trees and wind-swept. This destruction of the forest is the work of vast herds of cattle that for more than a generation have been pastured there. The only hope for a restoration of these forests is in the homesteader, the winfence and the paddock. What can be done by these is evident to the traveler - pACIFIC HARDWARE CO., Importers and Jobbers Ltd. of GFNERAL MERCHANDISE. Fori Street.

Thedelayed owing to the failure of the been 'I• plate for the new cover to arrive on ( time. In the death of Hon. Joseph B. Ather- ton, which occurred at half-past nine on the evening of April 7th, the community and the Islands lose a citizen of the besi type. We shall (rive a full account of his life and work in our next issue. We have been fortunate during the past few weeks in having among us an unusual number of reoresentative Christian people from the East. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels have been especially welcomed by our people, and with them Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Cobb and daughters of Newton, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Miner of Boston: Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Harbison of Alleghany, Pa. These people have seen much of the various forms of Christian and benevolent work done here and have given aid and encouragement by their presence and words. One exgentlemen, to our certain pressed his interest in our work by a substantial gift to the Hawaiian Board. We wish them, one and all, God-speed as they return to their own.homes. Our readers will notice some changes in matter and arrangement in the present number of The Friend. A full page instead of a half page is devoted to the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, the departments given for the past year to "Our Island Homes" and "The Christian Life" are discontinued. Instead of the latter, a page will be devoted to the discussion from month to month of practical moral and relieious question or questions of a more scientific or secular nature having a moral and religious bearing. The Record of Events is followed by a column or two of comment on current topics, by Mr. W. L. Whitney. We hope this feature may be continued. Lastly, we have given- a little sjace to If these Missionary Intelligence. changes meet with the approval of the board of editors, they will be continued, while we shall all the time try to give as full an account as possible of the doings of our churches, and the missions under the Hawaiian Board. Since the following three articles have been in type, the bill for the regulation of the liquor traffic in these Islands as proposed by the liquor men has passed the Senate with some modifications. Petitions have also been received and placed on file, asking for a reconsideration of the Local Option Bfll. • ■ ._ ... One month ago we passed a few mild Option Bill strictures upon the argument for the fa.rness of the proposed Local Option liquor bill, as viewed from the standpoint of those who suffer from the vice of drunkenness, either in themselves or their friends; but, at the same time, admitting that under the present circumstances, it was probably the best measure that could be suggested. Certainly whatever might have been said of its fairness from an ethical point of view, as a legislative measure, it 'was eminently reasonable. No man who had the slightest degree of candor of mind could offer any objection to it on this ground. This bill lias been before the Senate, and, notwithstanding its reasonable character, has been laid on the table, which, we presume, is equivalent to its rejection. While it woul I have been interesting to have seen the experiment of local option tried, and while we believe in giving a hearty support to any measure that becomes a law for even a partial * restriction of the liquor business, we are not disposed 10 mourn greatly over this defeat, if such it should prove to be, because it would reveal as nothing else can the real character and disposition of those who constitute the liquor element in these Islands. It ought to be perfectly plain vo everyone, even now; that fairness or reasonableness or regard for the wishes or rights of the community are elements that do not enter into the consideration of the liquor men, when these came between them and the accomplishment of their ends. With the attainment of theseendi, no principle of honor, justice or righteousness can be allowed to interfere. It is this character of the liquor elemen: that has been unmasked by the recent action of the Senate. It is a significant fact that in the final vote upon the question, five white men supported the bill and two white men, with the solid native vote opposed and defeated it. This reveals a situation which the liquor men doubtless feel that they are competent to maintain, and, so, to carry through any measure that will be suited to their purposes. The progress of the other bills which are before the Senate for the promotion of the:r business, tends to confirm this statement. These bills are receiving no check, but are steadily advancing toward their finai passage. This' fact, with the defeat of the Local Option bill, makes perfectly clear the character and intentions of the liquor party, as well as the conditions which we may expect to see here in the near future unless means can be found to overcome the influences now strongly prevailing. The Local No. 4 The only argument that appears to have been orTerecl against the Local Option bill was that it would keep tourists away. The converse of this is also one of the stock arguments in favor of a practically unlimited sale of intoxicating drink. The tourist, we are told, is a man who wants to drink. If he cannot get what he wants, he will not come here, and the country will iut get his money, which, the liquor men would like to have us believe, is on,e of the essential elements in our existence. The argument is not even plausible. It amounts to saying that we need for our welfare the money of a certain class of people, many of whom are dissipated in their habits. In order to get this money we must furnish the means and opportunity for this dissipation or this class of people will not come. In other words in order to have prosperity, we must establish in our midst, places for the sale of intoxicating driks, which, as every one knows, tend to debauch the people and undermine all the foundations on which prosperity rests. The argument contains an evident self-contradiction. Its weakness is easily seen also from other points of view. In the first place, we may ask who gets the tourist's money? It goes without saying that the hotels get the most of it, but as the hotels are all in the liquor business, and depend largely on their sales of liquor for support, it i * just as evident that the liquor men are the ones who profit most largely by tourist travel. Consequently they want tourists to come here, not because they have any interest in the welfare and advancement of the Islands, but because they want an ad ditional source ofrevenue for themselves. Between the presence of tourists and the absence of the rumseller, as conditions of prosperity, there can be but little comparison. If the money that is now spent for intoxicating drink by the people of these Islands, was spent in paying for homes, decent clothes, good food and such things as go to build up character and respectability, and which money would be spent among our own legitimate tradesmen, the people, as a whole, would enfby a genuine prosperity, even if there was never another tourist landed here.. The tourist argument, as advanced by the Hquor men, is not only fallacious, U has even a worse character. It is a bid for the coming here of a class of people whose presence is demoralizing and always to be deprecated. They are the class that seek out the hula girls, and have a keen scent for such places generally. A flagrant instance of this kind has just been told to us on good authority. It is this class of tourists only to Tourists and Liquor • �4 THE FRIEND whom the inducements held out by th_ possibilities of the future.

Very little of their money is likely to get into the channels of ttade suppression of these evils. Few people are perhaps aware that Congress already passed laws that are Viow has en forced, which contain the principle and germ of absolute prohibition. We give a quotation on this point from Rev. Wilbur Crafts, in The Advance, on the implications of the Anti-canteen law. Ile says: "I-'ew people have realized the vast significance ol this action of Congress. It was a declaration that the sale of beer and light wines by the government is bad for health and bad for order in the Army, and, as General Carlin says, 'if bad for health and bad for order in the army, bad everywhere.' It is this universal implication of this action that has 10 thoroughly aroused the brewers for the vain fight they have made to recover this breastwork in the present Congress, ihey see more clearly than many busy Christians have seen, that as the acorn includes the oak, this action involves, if legally carried out, universal prohibition." We see from these suggestions that the temperance workers here have scarcely begun to use the means at their disposal for overcoming the opposition to temperance measures. As events are shaping themselves at present, alCChristian and temperance people who belong to tiiesc Islands, will soon be driven to ventilate the facts, as a matter of common honesty, before they can invite people from other lands to come and take up their lot among us. PRINCE ALBERT KUNUIAKEA The passing away of this Hawaiian nobleman is a notable event, in the fact that with him disappears the last individual of the royal line of Kamehameha, and we believe also the last descendant of the famous John Young. Althougi as Christian ethics reckon it, not a legitimate son of Kamehameha 111, according to old Hawaiian custom Albert was sufficiently such to have been in the line of succession. He was from birth adopted by that king and brought up in the Royal family, which was not a favorable environment for the healthy development ff character. Albert was a man of amiable, well-intentioned nature, intelligent, gracious and courteous in manner, and markedly endowed with the peculiarly graceful and stately dignity of Hawaiian royalty. I.i the failure of legitimate descendants of Kamehameha after Lunalilo, Kunuiakea might have heen a formidable competitor against Kalakaua for election by the Legislature to the throne, but for the 'evelonment of too conspicuous evidences of unfitness for such responsibility. This unfortunate prince has been a pathetic figure of gracious qualities combined with such fatal weakness as hopelessly disqualified him for position in accord with the exalted rank of whicn he was deeply and proudly conscious. He was thus unhappily typical of too many �5 THE FRcEND of his Hawaiian kindred, like their prince, an amiable and well inclined people, nevertheless disabled and wasting away for lack of physical and moral fibre. One deeply sorrows for him and for them, although their condition may byno means be counted hopeless. Whai these native people most lack is the existence among them of a pure and wi.se motherhood to mould their tender yeais towards high and sturdy character. We believe that genuine and valuable progress is making in that direction, especially through our Ciirls* Seminarie*. Will it avail to invigorate and save the race? A long procession of sorrowing Hawaiians and of mourning friends of the old native royalty escorted this last sci.in of the chief kingly line to the tomb of his fathers. There his body will rest with those of many noted and conspicuous kings and chiefs of past days. Amid the tumult of the vast Pacific commerce will abide that memorial of a proud and noble race of chiefs. S. E. B. REV. CHARLES H. DANIELS, D.D. The people of missionary antecedents in these Islands arc enjoying a visit just now from Dr. Charles H. Daniels an I wife of Newton, Mass. Dr. Daniels U the Secretary of the Home Department of the American Board, with his office 'n Boston, and is now, after fifteen years of service, enjoying a well-earned vacation of several months. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels are both New England people. He was born in Lyme, New Hampshire, but grew up in Worcester, Mass. He is a graduate of Amherst College and of Union Theological Seminary. Previous to becoming a secretary of the American Board he held pastorates in Montague. Mass.; Cincinnati, Ohio, and Portland, Maine. In the latter place he ministered to the church over which Edward Payson was once the pastor. In 1888, Dr. Daniels became district secretary of the American Board, with his office in New York City, and having as his field, the Middle States, Connecticut, Ohio and such Southern States as contained Congregational Churches. After five years of service in this capacity, and on the retirement of Dr. E. K. Alden. Secretary of the Home Department of the Board, Dr. Daniels was chosen as his successor. In this position h : s work lies mainly in two directions— presenting the work and needs of the Board before the churches, and conducting the correspondence with candidates for appointment to foreign missionary service and recommending such as are found .satisfactory to the Prudential Committee. preDr. trip, sentr and thei On Mrs. Daniels have spent a month in Mexico, Our good Heavenly Father did njt some time in Southern California, and on intend this to be so.

As far as making money is concerned, 1 will venture the opinion, and a sincere one too, that the owners of the paper wih lay up more money from a six-day iss'ie than from a seven day issue. Even inorganic iron and steel need rest from perpetual vibration. As to the influence upon readers, the man needs something Sunday morning. Let him reserve his zest, to join the worshippers in God's house, to which the Sunday paper, is, I am constrained to say, an enemy. Let him in the afternoon either go forth to a quiet walk f-r ride or read a higher class literature. That of the paper in question is secondclass, in fiction, in science, in art: the caricatures of the divine human form, so frequent in the thirty page, garish iieaps of paper are little short of degrading, yea blasphemous. And good things are withheld from the papers for the reason that the Sunday number would probably receive them all. This matter should stand on its own basis. It need not be mixed up in discussion with the city's necessities in the way of street cars and like needs oi our modern life. As to the news that gets absorbed into the Sunday paper we can read it on Monday if we do not wish to lose it. Curtis J. Lyons. �THE FRIEND 6 CANOEING FROM LAHAINA Beautiful for situation and royal in its wealth of surrounding Islands, Lahaina is alone in the world in the possession of scenic and climatic features which have always endeared it to the race of native chiefs, and to many others, as well, who can afford to live without work. The dominant feature is its mountain backing Lahaina is a village in the middle of a narrow seashore plain fifteen miles long, and from any point on this seashore, the eye can follow up the mountain ridges, broad at the base and of easy rise at first, but ever narrowing, until they cluster into a ragged crown, six thousand feet above the ocean, yet not eight miles away! This mountain barrier shuts off the trade wind, and Lahaina roadstead is as smooth as the proverbial millpond, though a brief time may bring the sailor to a wind-tossed portion of Neptune's domain of a very different quality. Four channels lead into this inland sea. from the north, from the west, from the south, and from the southeast, and each has its own significant name. The islands which make these channels are seen most comprehensively from the hill back of the town— Molokai on the right, stretching westward; Lanai directly in front, blocking the ocean on the southwest; and Kahoolawe, long and low, on the left, running southwestward. Under the morning sunshine this water is so clear that I doubt if even the "Vesuvian bay" depths is worthy of more praise. No slimy patches are here, but clean, white sand with ground of darker coral rock, an ideal holding for ships in five to twenty fathom water; and air for in color—Nature has here made liquid into it ages, by the cubic mile, and pressed the blue of forty tropic skies! Nor is the sight alone gratified. When a Honolulu steamer arrives, whether it be at midnight or at early dawn, and the tumbling of Kaiwi channel is left far behind, and anchor is dropped, there comes to the traveler a sense of perfect peace —is not this one of the senses?— and from the cloudless mountain which dark-to ens the starlit sky like a great wave ready break, comes the gentle land breeze like a refreshing bath; and with the breeze, the fragrance of sugar cane fields, and a delicate bint of tomato gardens and ripe musk melons; and for music, the perpetual booming of the surf, a giant's lullaby. Lahaina was the fourth station occupied by American missionaries. Messrs. Stewart and Richards being assigned to it by the general vote. Twenty years after that time, there were nine mission families at the stations which grouped about Lahaina and fifteen at the stations on the other three islands. The work was vastly increased: the awakened nation hung upon the skirts of the teachers almost a dead weight; it was a serious problem with these teachers how to preserve their own vigor and to keep their work everlastingly moving, and the number of broken lives among them seemed to show that the two needs could not be harmonized. The practice and of itinerating, or exchanging stations work periodically, was an alleviation, though not all shared in this plan; the annual gathering at Honolulu brightened the spirits of all who thus met brethren and sisters, but the going and coming in the schooners of those or canopied stretcher, or even the plebeian ox-cart would be called into requisition; but as most places could be reached by sea, what could be more natural than to use the facile canoe and a stalwart crew, which could be had at short notice by "touching" the konohiki, or head man of the place. In 1843 and thereabout, the writer was a junior member of his father's family, then living at Lahainaluna, and a happy participant in some of these visits by canoe. These visits were one or more in each direction to Molokai, and to Wailuku and Makawao via Maalaca Bay—and they were crowded with pleasurable incident of which memory retains only salient points and a general impression. As the voyage was to commence in the night, we made a general move to Lahaina late in the previous afternoon. My man, Kahananui. a High School hoy. first decorated his pony with sundry baskets and bundles assigned to him, then got himself into the saddle, and me behind him on the saddle blanket. I gave no care to the rest of the family, but in some fashion we formed a caval- cade ami crawled down the hill through two miles of dusty road to the sea. then, turning to the left, were in Dr. Baldwin's yard, or in Mr. Richards' yard, next adjoining. Now began the exhilaration of travel, in new children to play with, new books to look at, new trees to climb; for each of the mission houses had a magnificent spreading Icon tree in its front yard, and numerous kukuis made a shady grove. We children were put to bed on shakedowns on the upper front veranda, and went to sleep soothed by the twittering of cocoanut leaves and the muffled monotone of the eternal surf. At three o'clock, by the stars, the light of a lantern and men's vocies in the yard below, with a subdued call, brought us to our feet, wide awake. Then was hurried dressing, and gathering up of portable property and a hasty lunch of dried beef and biscuits forced upon us by maternal providence, for the real center of excitement was across the road, where the canoe was to be launched, and oh—if we should be too late to see! If this particular occasion were a trip to Molokai, it was Hitchcock's double canoe that was in waiting, anil Mr. Hitchcock himself, always the personal conductor of such visits, was here and there among the buzzing crew, anil compelled obedience by his piercing voice. The Hawaiian's safe harbor for bis beloved canoe was beyond the upper edge of the land beach, out of reach by its adopted element. A small canoe would be picked up and carried down the slope, but a heavy one was treated to a slideway of rushes or grass, to prevent abrasion of its smooth bottom. A line of men on each side of each canoe of the pair took the word from their captain, a prolonged shout Ho ending with an explodcnt ('! when every bowed hack would straighten up. and the canoe would glide forward ten feet, then await a fresh hold and another encouraging shout; and so. by easy advances, the marriage of Ship and Sea came about. After that came the clattering of numerous paddles; the mast and furled sail were taken aboard; the small freight was stowed in the forward and after ends under deck, and boxes and bales around the sides of the central raised platform, all well lashed to place; the impedimenta of the travelers was bestowed in the sky cabin thus formed; and. last of all. days was an excruciating purgatory, too the travelers themselves, each on the broad, were earrietl until we wasteful of life and time to be undertaken bare back of a kanaka our except in dire need: but the interchange ol could find foothold and scramble up lo short visits, where nearness made them easy, perch. was common, and it cultivated the habit of Thus was the embarkation, about 4:.i0 a. in.: hospitality which lives in the country to this and while the canoe, after passing Black Rock, hugs the shore for the sake of smooth For these visits, when an inland trip was to water and speeds on under the impulse of a t : made, the "missionary horse," the mancle stiff bread-fruit breeze, as a dozen paddles may be called, let us unfold the points of interest in this remarkable craft. The waa kaulua, or double canoe, was of the class used in the "navy of invasion and warfare fifty years before. The artisans who built them followed faithfully an artistic ideal, which is wholly ignored in so-called models sold in these days. Some fish can be found of which, if supposed to be free from the surface irregularities of fins and gill covers and cleft horizontally from motinth to tail, cue lower half would be a good model for the universal canoe, but with the ends reversed; for the "entrance" of a canoe is long and the "run" short, and all the "lines" are "full." I have no measurements of Mr. Hitchcock's canoes, but offer the following estimates as Length, 45 feet; nrobably not far wrong. greatest depth. 3 feet; greatest width, 18 inches; distances between canoes, 9 feet: length of pola (lengthwise plank between the canoes,) 20 feet; platform, a temporary expansion of the pola, 8 by 10 feet, and 4 feet above the water; number of rowers in each canoe, six. Each canoe was dug out of a koa log that was without knot or flaw, shaped with perfect symmetry, smoothed with pumice stone and polished black with kukui nut lampblack ground in kukui oil and rubbed in. The moo, or gunwale, was a long stip as wide as the hand and stained yellow, one on each side of the canoe, giving strength and finish to the edges, the two coming together in a graceful, twisting curve, both forward and aft, and forming the upright terminal called manu. or bird. The narrow space at each end was covered by a long triangular deck board, called kupc; and these various parts were sewn together and lashed down to the canoe with cocoanut fiber sennit so artistically that very little of this rope work was visible. Strong but light, arching beams called iako. yoked the canoes, and these were lashed down to short cross pieces within the canoes, which were caught under projecting cleats of the koa wood. The pola was lashed to the highest Dart of these arched beams, and a further frame work of poles and boards made a platform for the accommodation of warriors, noncombatants or freight, as the case might be. We reached trade wind at daylight and changed our course to the left oblique to cross the channel The short mast was stepped in a bole near the forward end of the pola, and guyed in four directions and the mainsail was shaken out. It was not a large sail, but it pulled wonderfully in a free wind. The rear man in the port canoe was captain; the other rear man was lieutenant, and both steered when steering was necessary. The rate of paddling in a seaway was about sixteen strokes a minute. At frequent intervals the paddles were changed from side to side, and the captain gave the signal to change by two claps of his paddle against the canoe: thus, stroke 10. clap; stroke 11. clap; stroke 12, over; and twelve paddles at once glittered in the air and dipped again, and the rthythm was unbroken. This movement was generally executed with perfect precision and in the sunshine it was beautiful. Kaluaaha church was the land mark we steered for.—a white block on the horizon when first discerned, and alternately in sight and out of sight below the water. But we gradually "raised" it, and, according to accounts, it still stands. Kaluaaha landing is a channel through the reef, attributed to an outflow of fresh water. The sea swells make rollers in this channel, and as three consecutive rollers out of seven, or else four out of ten—authorities differ—are breakers, there is a call for wise alertness in the pilot in order to avoid discomfiture. According to Solomon, there is a time to lie, on your oars, as well as a time to pull for dear life. (Continued on Page It) �7 THE FRIEND. to equal the expense they cause the Territory.

TEMPERANCE ISSUES .... 11896-7 I .... ... .... .... - �8 THE FRIEND The Responsibility of Christian People for Public Morality It is not intended in the use of the above title to intimate that Christian people are the only ones who have such responsibility. Duty is not a matter that belongs to Church or sect alone: it pertains to all people alike, in proportion to their knowledge and power of performance. No one can claim exemption tithe general principle, much less, to the particular application of it in the maintenance of morality in the community ami nation to which lie belongs. The Savior, however, said to his disciples, "ye ate the salt of the earth." "ye arc the light of the world." These words stein to indicate that whatever might DC the duty of non-Christian people,'il was by Christians that the world would be saved, From the fact that they arc "the light of the world," and are as "a cit\ set on a hill." they occupy a peculiar vantage ground which invests them with a special responsibility toward their fellowmen around them. So far as these words reveal what that responsibility is, it would seem to be conveyed in the word "light." The Christian is first of all to shine. The first condition of morality is a clear perception-of the truth which underlies ir. This truth the Christian is to make dear in speech and life. It is his responsibility to place his lamp upon its lamp-stand and keep it burning with a clear Mill Steady flame. It is his peculiar business to sir that this is done. It is no part of his duty to put a shade over his lamp or to dim its radiance in order to make it easy for the bleared eye of the world to hear its light. The trouble is not with the light; it is with the eye. To one who has been shut up in a dark room for a long time, the light of the sun is at first painful, but the fault is not in the sun. it is in the weakened organ of vision. I.lit it should not on that account he withdrawn or covered up.. The lisrhl of the sun is what it needs, and a little exnosure will cure the defect. Ami so Ihe Christian should have confidence in his lamp. When he hears the World round about him crying out that he s an tihl fotrv. anil that his leaching is oh: of date, he need not he troubled—nay. he may even reioice. for this is a hopeful svmutnm.

The' first land sighted was Saipan, of the Padrone group, held by Germany and inhabited by ten Germans and l-'oo seiuisavages from some islands in the vicinity of Africa, who were' brought to Guam by the Spaniards ami deported by the Americans because of their filthy habits and general worthlcssncss. Saipan is a low lying island, barrel, almost treeless, with no harbor and somewhat larger than "l.anai. Guam is the only one of the group that is good for much and is the only one the Americans considered worth keeping. All the rest are held by Germany, hut they have no ships or furls to guard them. Guam is thirty miles long and perhaps fourteen wide. The north-west part is a plateau about 125 feel above' sea-levci ami is thickly wooded.

MARRIAGES plenty. ' Nearly everything has had its turn, from the sidewalks in front of the superintendent's house to the reason why the lepers are not catered to by Delmonico or Sherry, and vast amounts of time have been wasteel by our legislature in this amusement. The most prominent measure before us now is undoubtedly the County Bill. With a legislature, both parties of which are pledged to some measure which would put the Territory on a county basis, it seems surprising that an agreement cannot he reached regarding the form of the law.

Two of these provide for expenses, one for a (lag for the Territory, and three have to do with minor changes in our crimin tl law. Of investigations we have had a of vice. The dental bill looks towards a better protection of our citizens from a class of quacks who have come to us from the mainland where they swarm. A people is entitled to the best service possible from its professional men, and any measure aiming to attain that deserves our support.

The bailiff law seems on a good way to be repealed. What a hue and cry was raised over that bill! Yet it has not worked such terrible wrongs after all. However, to put the calling of the juryas directly tinder the power of the judge as this law did, does not seem altogether wise, and the country can well stand a W. L. W. repeal of the law. ... Missionary Items ... Under the title, "Tne Educational Outloo< EducationCNrth hina in North China," Re. T. Biggin, M. A., discusses in the March number of The Chronicle of the London Misssionary Society, the advisability of uniting with' the American Board in the education of young men—sending the young men of his own Board's mission to the college of the American Board lit Tung Chow. Mr. Biggin's article is as follows: Now that the L. M. S. has decided not to participate in the large Educational Union for North China, we cannot hope to take more than a secondary place m education at best, and there is only one way that we here can see of securing even that—viz., by union with the American Board. The fundamental hometruth to grasp is this, that we cannot ourselves (except at a great outlay) educate ojr students efficiently—about that there is complete unanimity in North China—we have 11 not funds or men enough. Now, in the preswork, the want of educated helpers is keenly felt, and will be felt more and more acutely as time goes on, causing weakness in every department of work. Well, in this "Union" scheme the American Boa-: 1 offer us far more than we could expect then to do: they require no initial expenditure; our boys secure a first-class education at a cost about equal to that of the mediocre on;: they get now; they will compare as men witii those employed in other societies; our educational plan will be unified; and the Society'; work should in time be supplied with abc Chinese workers in most of its branches, though, at present, the medical training is not provided for. If this scheme is rejected, I do not see any prospect for my work here at all; it will remain a small school of boys of all ages and all stages of learning, inadequate for our needs, unable (because too a/eak) lo control the standard of entrance, and, in a. word— inefficient. The best boys will, of course, go elsewhere. T'ung Chun College will accommodate ijo Students. This next year they hope to add ent stage of our another building to contain large assembly rooms, class rooms, &c. The Academy—or, as we say, High School —is also to have separate buildings shortly, .but is at present part of the College. The grounds arc very extensive, the situation as healthy as can be desired. There is a good staff of teachers, and the men turned out -n the past have been reckoned the best in tlvs province. The fittings and apparatus are excellent, as also the arrangements for sleeping, food. &c. Our L. M. S. school at Peking has only a number of rooms that might be tolerated (alter improvements) as a wash-house or scullery at home. Of course the comparison is unfair, because we have no proper premises accommodated in now; but compare with cither of the plans sent home for our school, and you will see that so far as buildings go we are bound to remain far behind what the American Board provide at present, though this only represents about half of what their plans includ-. If we are behind in buildings we are not much better in other respects. They have college and school, we have a school (of thr-'C boys just now—reckoned as High School boys') they have four or five missionaries set apart fur teachinar. we have one (Dr.- Hart'i work is totally different).

Whitney, Pro.'. chapel was in charge of Mr. Henry Waterhouse. On the 2d of February, Mr. Henry Judd was engaged by the Standing Committee of Central Union Church to take charge of the work of the chapel until September. The work at Palama has been interfered with somewhat by the prevalence of the dengue fever, but, at the time of writing, it seems to be disappearing. The attendance keeps up eptite well at both the Sunday evening service and the Friday evening prayermeeting. On Sunday, March 22(1, the largest attendance for some time was present. The Sunday-school is continuing its good work and the average attendance is about eighty. Mr. Clifton Tracy is superintendent of the school. The Reading-room adjoining the chapel is in need of more literature. Old magazines, illustrated papers, etc., are greatly appreciated and can he left at the room any evening except Sunday. VV. D.

Baltimore New York Washington Honolulu �13 THE FRIEND A full meeting and a generous contribution resulted from these appeals. After opening remarks by Mrs. Nash, who explained why such a gathering was called a "Thank-offering" meeting, the little basket went on its errand and returned overflowing with tiny envelopes. The announcement that nearly— or quite—one hundred dollars was in hand, or immediately to be in hand, created enthusiastic applause. It sounds much to this little struggling society. The present objects to which it pledges aid are the Hilo Free Kindergarten, the very valuable work near the Waiakea landings—a quarter sometimes called "Hilo slums,"—and also special work in their own tongue among the Japanese of that neighborhood. After the basket exercise, dainty little bouquets were passetl about, to each of which was attached an appropriate quotation, either Biblical or secular. Most of them were read aloud. Mrs. Hyde then offered a prayer of thanksgiving and of petition for blessing on the offering and the work. A short musical program followed and a pretty recitation, and the happy afternoon closed with a social tea. Over fifty ladies were present, which is more than treble the number of the society; and to their friendly lift the warm thanks of the membership are due. Also to Mrs. Nash, our new and efficient president, who proposed and carried through this plan to its successful end.

THE MEETING AT PUNA The Spring meeting of the Hawaii Association, which was held with the church at I'ltula, Puna, was well attended by the people of the district. At each meeting there was a good audience of interested listeners. The usual numb.i of pastors and delegates being also present. On Sunday there was a largely attended Sunday-school exhibition, classes being present from as far away as Kamaili. ddic Association decided this year to change its accustomed moderator, and Rev. C. M. Kamakawiwoole was chosen. Perhaps the event of greatest interest was the resignation of Rev. L. K. Kalawe from the ministry. This closes a sad ministerial experience. Suspended from the ministry three years aeo for immoral conduct, Mr. Kalawe has continued his sin to this day. The result is a violated home, a divided church and a vitiated communal life. The coming of the Association to Puna was an evident benefit to all. Rev. Kamoku is retired from the care (Komike) of the churches of Puna and Rev. Kamatt, the juelge of the district, is put in his place. Mr. Kamoku's only charge now is the church of Olaa. There is a probability of Mr. O. Z. Waikalai's leaving the Puna district and the charge of the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. These churches were visited by Evangelist Timoteo and the Secretary, and special meetings were held with good results. Here is a district in need of a settled preacher, if one can only be found.

If anyone knows of its whereabout! he will confer a favor l>v returning it to Mrs. Damon. A lioiind longing volume to Mr. our front cover for this month, we present the picture of the new president of the Hawaiian Hoard, lion. Henry Waterhouse, who was elected to that office at the last meeting. Mr. Waterhouse has served the Hoard for a long time as its vice-president as well as lie, therefore, on its committees. knows its objects and its needs and is able to give it much valuable aid and ( )n counsel. Mr. Waterhouse comes to the office at a critical tune, when much wisdom and thought are needed in launching the Hoard upon the career that is now opening to it. We wish him the largest success and the heartiest co-operation of all his colleagues. At the Board's last meeting Mr. W. \V> Hall was elected to the office of vice-president. Mr. Hall has also been a long-time member of the Hoard, serving for many years as its treasurer and agent of the American Board, previous to the election of Mr. Richards, who was appointed on Mr. Hall's resignation. . With this number, THE FUEND completes its first year under its present management. For the managing editor, at least, it has been a year of new experiences which on the whole have been very enjoyable. His fellow-editors and people generally who have been called upon for help, have given prompt and valuable assistance. The paper has met with a gratifying degree of success. Its list of paid subscriptions has increased by about eighty per cent. With the April number we hope to, change its appearance externally as well as to alter somewhat the arrangement of .the inside matter. We have learned some things from the first year's experience and hope to show improvement as time goes on. m L The indications at the present time seem to be that the question of the regulation of the liquor traffic in these Islands, will be a prominent one before the Legislature which is now in session. It is understood that the liquor-sellers have their plans arranged, while the temperance people are also getting ready for the action they intend to favor. It is perhaps impossible for either side to say anything new in the matter, and for that reason there is danger that the at tention of people and legislators alike may become engrossed in watching the tactics employed, or in discussion of the methods contended for, while the real and vital issue is lost sight of. This issue does not lie in the comparative ad-, vantage of one method of regulation over another, but in the nature of the business itself. The point that should be made clear and emphatic throughout the whole discussion is that the traffic in intoxicating drink is in its essence and effects, destructive of all good. It gives nothing of value in return for value received. Poverty, suffering, vice and crime, follow in its train. Tt works always and every where toward the demoralization of good order and character. Tt is on these grounds, therefore, bat the linuor business should be ar-"irrucd. and from this point of view all '■ffort for regulation should proceed. The aim in legislation as in agitation, should not be to please one side or the other, but to strike the most damaging blow at the evils of the business. Liquor Legislation • No. i pectable and free from the presence of saloons. Changed about, the situation would be that temperance would have .the field, and the burden of petitioning for a vote on the question would rest on those who wish to drink. Local option in this form would have decided advantages over that in which it is commonly presented. It would probably considerably increase the number of protected districts while it would also tend to relieve local option of one of the delusive features that now adheres to it. This feature betrays itself in the argument that local option is the method of fairness. It is true that it carries with it a superficial look of liberality and equity.. Hut if we stop to look beneath the surface we shall sec that this is only sophistry of the shallowest kind. Neither local option nor any other method that allows the business to exist is fair to the man who is losing his reputation, character and property through a drunken habit. It is not fair to his wife and children and friends, who suffer in consequence of his poverty and disgrace, or, perhaps from his violence: It is not fair to the virtue and innocence of youth that wither under the blasting influence of an environment of debauchery. The idea of fairness rests upon the false assumption that men who follow the liquor-selling business have the same right to shape the life of a community as those who wish to earn an honest living free from their influence, and to bring up the'r children to lives of virtue and usefulness and to see prosperity and happiness abound among their fellow men. A business that is built up on the ruins of human character and human souls can claim for itself no equality of rights. While, therefore, local option may be the best measure that can be advocated under the present circumstances, let it bt the kind that puts temperance in the field and requires those who wish to drink to petition for the option. In any case, let- not temperance people commit themselves to local option in any form that would hinder the work of temper ance agitation and temperance endeavc I from going right on in the most aggrcv ! sive way to something more effective. While our mental attitude may be such as that indicated in the forego; ng paragraph, it must be expressed in some form of effort toward restriction. Local option seems to be the form that the temperance people will attempt to carry through at this time. As a main issue, this is, perhaps, the best that can be done, but it is worth while to ask, "from whose initiative shall the question be submitted?" We have lately received what seems to us to be a valuable suggestion, to the effect that the question should be submitted to vote on the request of those who favor saloons and drinking, instead of those who arc against these things. As local option is The High Sheriff's Tn the Advertiser of February 19th, is given commonly understood, the liquor busiReport an abridgement of the ness has the field, and temperance people ask the privilege of submitting to vote report of the High Sheriff to the Attorthe question whether the community in ney-General.

The reasons for this increase of police work are not mentioned, but that such 1 condition should arise is only what might be expected, and what thoughtful people probably have expected, ever since the unprecedented expansion of liquor selling was permitted. No other condition of things was possible. Farther.on in the report the High Sheriff is quoted as saving, "I would also recommend licensing the sale of beer upon payment of a license fee of $250 for each such license. Would also recommend that the present law licensing sale of wine, beer and ale be amended by striking out clause that 'no such license shall be granted .within two miles of a place where vending of spirit nous Honors at retail is carried on.' Also strike out clause requiring licensee to stop business at 8 o'clock p. m. Time of closing should be extended to 1 1 130 p. m." It is difficult to tell whether the relation of these two extracts is logical or illogical. At first thought it strikes one as highly inconsistent to say that police work is likely to increase, and to suggest increased appropriations to carry it on, and then to recommend such an increase of the scope, both in space and - time of the forces that are most potent in Droducing disorder. On the other hand, when we take into account the increased amount of crime and disorder that is certain to follow, sooner or later, from such an extension of privilege to the sellers of the lighter intoxicants, to recommend increased appropriations for police expenses might appear as a measure of prudent foresight. Now. we do not profess to know the motives of the High Sheriff in making these recommendations, and so make no charges nor insinuations. The facts are to be deplored. The fact that such places as those recommended should exist with the consent and approval of the highest police officer in the land could not be without its effect on the police force. If they are looked upon as agencies for neutralizing the evils of the saloons which sell the stronger drinks, (and presumably this would be the High Sheriff's argument) the only logical way to treat them would be to allow them full swing, else they would fail of their object: and having full swing, it would only be a short time, if it did not begin from the start, when those who frequented them would thirst for something stronger and these saloons would become the feeders of the saloons which retail spirituous liquors, instead of drawing away from them.

While times of famine were not unknown, it is doubtful if able-bodied men or women ever perished of starvation. Hawaii was a land of well-fed, stalwart men and women, for size and agility unequalled by any race on island or continent. While improvident, the native Hawaiian was the most generous and hospitable of human beings. The stranger passing by was always hailed and bidden to come in and partake of what the house afforded, which meant a good feed of fish and poi. < )r if, in a stormy time, fish was scarce, the householder would apologetically say, we have poi but no fish.

As 1 went around with the experienced policeman during my probation he taught me all the ropes." and explained thai the greatest danger for a young man was from the temptation to arrest people Who were "putting up." "If you do that," be said, "the sergeant will work you forty-eight hours at a stretch, and finally break you." It didn't take me long to find out that the sergeant could keep me on the go till I dropped if it suited him. That was when I went on regular duty at the end of a month. I arrested a saloonkeeper who forgot me, but who had put up for the wardman and the inspector's man. I got a hint to leave the man alone after that, but I wanted to make him understand that I had something to say as well as the big fellows. I took him in again for violating the Sunday law- He was discharged. Soon after that I came off duty and went on reserve, I went upstairs to the dormitory to sleep, having been on patrol for sixteen hours. I had not been in bed ten minutes when the sergeant called me down to the desk, and sent me out to see about some hoys annoying householders ten blocks away. It was a fake report. When I came back he sent me out to a fire, and after that he found another special call to keep rue busy till I had to go on patrol again. There are plenty of these special calls at a busy station house, and the sergeant can always make some if he wants them. I square/1 matters by apologizing to the saloonkeeper. Before I got on the force I bad heard that policemen made a deal of money in addition to their salaries, and after I trot fairly to work I found that I was in it. In some of the nrecincts where there s plenty of "graft." the man who is violatinc the law pays the patrolman for closing his eyes, the captain for not breaking the patrojman. and the inspector for not breaking the captain. These are separate amounts. Say the patrolman gets $<; a month, the captain and * * * * in*nector would get $20 each. The most I ever made on any post was $150 a month. That was downtown in Manhattan on a beat that was about a mile and a half long. Every saloonkeeper on my post used to put tin $5 a month for me and my partner in addition to the money given to the captain's agent—the inspector had no one collecting. There were twenty-five of thes.e saloons and five gambling places, three of which gave me $io a month, while two paid $5. From the women I and my nartner. who patrolled the beat when I was off. cot a total of about $75 a month. Of course, there were many who tried to do business without paving, but they soon found themselves in a hole because we enforced the law against them. Some patrolmen have made a* high as $2so a month. Beside the presents of money which naturally make policemen feel kindly disposed toward everywhere the givers there is free liquor. It istrips a good offered to the policemen, and it many of them up. The fool law is also responsible for this, because if it wasn't a fool law it would not have to be violated, and then the liquor dealers would not have to make themselves solid with us. little After a man has been on the force a "putare while he knows all the people who ting up." and grows to be very friendly with beat them. There are twenty places on mydrink, where I can tap at a side door and get a and there are nearly as many where I can go some one in a back room and sleep while watches to give me warning if the roundsman comes in sight.

D WESTERVELT The saloon is not a modem institution and its character has not changed. I he table on which the purchased wine was drunk was also the table over which the dice were shaken. The drunkard murdered bis friends in drunken brawls, brutally beat bis wife and impoverished bis children, two or three thousand years ago just as be does today. Apparently there was not so much opposition to saloons then as at the present time. Nor were there very many legal restrictions. Evidently the world is growing better, as far as the place held by saloons in the eye of the public is concerned. Just bow much the Hawaiians as a whole were made drunkards in the days of Kamehameba 1., 1 do not know. Certainly the drunken whites taught the method of rude distillation through a gun barrel. Quantities of nun were shipped in and the King himself was often the worse for liquor, until be society made himself into a temperance and decided that be. rather than rum, should rule. In the days of Kamehameba 111., the Hawaiian! were called a nation of drunkards and the King uttered bis temperance proverb worthy to be placed beside the national motto which adorns Hawaiian silver coins. It was during contemplation of civic problems that he said "Debt is a moth and rum a poison god." Then for a long time the use of intoxicants was checked. A resident of the islands told me how his brother was arrested and fined once for furnishing a bottle of liquor to one of the young princes. I think it is true that the last great impetus to drunkenness in these islands was by given in the days of Kalakaua, and be absoThe King himself. It may not lutely true that the present increase ot saloons has increased the amount of drunkenness. It may be that the drunkenness was here and that the licensed saloons are simply the legal recognition of the fact that there are many drunkards in Hawaii. Nevertheless we must acknowledge that annexation has brought a deluge of saloons. The present condition of the liquor question in these islands is bad enough with a prospect of being much worse in the near future. Already the saloon interests are looking up available sites in residence districts on which they confidently- expect the coming legislature to allow them to plant saloons. The liquor interests are even now acting as if they were certain of the position which will be taken by a majority of the mem- bers of the Legislature. There is not a hint so far as I know, in business circles of removing a single saloon from the present down town limits. The plan is rather to locate many new saloons in the outskirts of the city and throughout the residence and country districts. During 1902, there were taxed by the United States lnter-revenue officials; in the Hawaiian Islands 455 places where intoxicating liquors were sold. This is an increase in six years of from 23 to about 455 recorded saloons. Probably there are few stores where liquor is sold unlawfully, as far as the territory is concerned, which have not come under the eve of the officials of Uncle Sam. The method of procedure is simple and yet effective,e.g. blank and Co. are large liquor dealers. They ship to all parts of the islands all kinds of intoxicants including that distinctive preparation called "Sand paper gin." The internal revenue officers say to Blank and Co., "Let us see your shipping lists." Blank and Co. are learning that they cannot play with United States officials, so the books are opened ; the revenue officers make -1 list of the small stores on Kauai or Hawaii, in which be finds something of interest. He makes a tour of Kauai and collects revenue all along the way. In a little while nearly 500 tax certificates are issued, certifying that these stores have paid Uncle Sam's charges, and yet a new field of activity probably awaits the revenue officers. This comes on good Japanese authority. On the plantations all over the islands, there are among the Japanese, many small saloons. They are conducted as follows, so says my Japanese informPerhaps'twenty or twenty-five ant. Japanese form a club, and hire some one to cook for it. That one keeps on hand a store of canned and bottled goods, and also a few bottles of beer and cases of take and sometimes something stronger. ( )ne of the"lvii" comes in to the common room with a friend or two. They call for coffee and then take or beer paving the cook his or her price for the same—and thus, as my Japanese friend , — expressed it, "There follow much gambling and many vices and crimes." Again and again have I asked natives to show me that "maikai" "good" of the saloon business. The invariable answer is, "There is no maikai." except the "oluolu o ke kino," "The pleasure or lust of the flesh." We face the contined enormous increase of licensed destructive business. What is the other side? The working out of natural laws is always encouraging. Productive business has increased apparently in far greater ratio than the use of intoxicants. Cultivated land chokes out weeds. Education along physiological lines is doing great good. Productive business is fighting shy of managers and responsible workmen who are addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. A strong and true morality, learned only by those who sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ, is having a mighty hold on the desires and passions. There is no more powerful check on the use of intoxicants than an earnest Christian life. Hut involved in Christianity are the humanitarian methods to be used in checking, as far as possible, the evils whkh the Arabs say are a drove of black camels kneeling at the doors of their tents. The W. C. T. U. has held the fort alone for a number of years. Tt is a wonder that so small a band of women should fiave been able to do so much for The more recent organization, The Anti-Saloon League, has also come to stay. However in all the islands there is now no person paid for the one purpose of devoting time and thought continually toward meeting the problems of the liquor question. The work must be done by self-sacrificing effort through various committees in these two organizations, supplemented, it is hoped, by a large numbers of individuals outside. A determined effort must be made by all interested toward securing fair play on the part of members of the leeislature. The local option idea is thoroughly fair. It places the responsibility of saloons or no saloons upon the majority of the voters of any precinct or district or municipality. If the majority want saloons the minority ought to acquiesce and make a better fight next time or move away. If the majority wants no saloont, it is perfectly fair that the saloon keepers sliall give up until they can rally sufficient forces to make a new battle at the polls, or move away. Plead the argument of fair play in your talks with members of the legislature. The hot fight of the temperance people will be on local option. Local option must not be asked as a favor to the churches or to the Anti-Saloon League or to Temperance workers. It must not be a favor to anybody. The demand for local option must be on the ground of fair play to the majority of voters. It is self-evident that if the members of the legislature intend to be fair in dealing with cither liquor men or temperance men they must enact a law which places ffie right Jo have saloons or no saloons in the hands of a majority of the voters and thus give both sides fair play at the polls without fear or favor. �THE FRIEND 8 His professed followers stand uncompromisingly for this, are they recognized as such by the world.

Dr. Scudder writes from Kobe, Japan, under date of February Ist, that he expects to begin operations again, that is, to enter upon a northern tour, early next month, visiting among other places, Niigata, whence have come a considerable number of the emigrants to Hawaii. Readers of The FRIEND have learned of Dr. Seudder's plan of making the acquaintance of the relatives of those who have gone as laborers to Hawaii, and becoming as it were a messenger from the parents and kindred in Japan to their loved ones now in Hawaii. Thus expecting to secure a cordial welcome and a hearing ear from many a lonely and sorrowing young man to whom a message of love from the far land will be as cool water to a thirsty soul. Dr. Scudder purposes to finish his touring in Japan and to turn bis face toward Hawaii, by the end of April.

Mr. Harada (pastor of the Kobe Japanese Congregational church) said in his s.ermon last Sabbath, "The Emperor's Rescript is not sufficient as a moral stimulus in our School and colleges. We need Christ and his teachings." This would have been considered almost treason, a little while ago. �9 THE FRIEND . OUR ISLAND HOMES I You this?

When you have sons and daughters of your own and all the joy, pride and anguish of parentage is a personal experience, then, you will be able to put yourself in mother's place. God grant that that day may be free from bitter memories. Forgive us for preaching a sermon, perhaps you dislike preaching; but this comes from the heart. "We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen," We have no individual case in mind, this is only general; you also may "know" and "see" if you will. Youth is thoughtless, but remember "Evil is wrought from want of thought As well as from want of heart." No, we whose hearts are ojd have not forgotten. Youth is attractive to us; we love, often long for, the society of the young; we like to be included in their pleasures; we value their little courtesies and confidences, and are keenly sensitive to slights. It is easy to hurt us, to make us feel in the way, or that our expressions of affectionate regard are a bore, and we are not dull about these things. Do not allow yourselves to treat either parents or elderly friends thus thoughtlessly.

Alexander, D.D., for twenty-five years a missionary of the Presbyterian Board in Japan, died in Honolulu on Nov. 4, 1902. About a year ago Dr. Alexander had been obliged to leave Japan on account of ill-health, but instead of coming all the way to America, stopped in the Sandwich Islands, where it was believed the conditions would be more healthful for him, and where also he might find opportunities to work among the more than 70,000 Japanese living in the Islands. During his sta\yrn~Hio»vSiulu he was constantly busy hTfliis work, preaching and assisting other workers until the last. Dr. Alexander was born in Mt. Horeb, Term., October Bth, 1850, and went out to Japan in 1877. During his life in Japan be bad been active in the opening of new stations, bad taught theology in the Meiji Gakuin in Tokyo, and just prior to bis departure from Japan bad been in change of the evangelistic work in the city of Kyoto, where also he was helping the Congregational missionaries in the Theological Department of the of a faultless life, and by a service that never wearied, and that never put case or self in the place of the Savior. He was the type ot missionary of whom the critics ot missions know nothing—a gentleman, a scholar and a Christian. Well would it be for both America and Asia if all who went out from the one to the other, went with a title of his nobility of character and his purity of unselfishness.—From The Herald, February, 1903.
