Every one should be ready with bis views on the subject. , Washington's Birthday occurs this month. This is usually a 'quiet holiday, and for this reason it i. all the more easy to catch its true spirit. Americans, as well as other people, should remember thai they honor their great men by cultivating their virtues rather than by noise and display. At the last meeting of the Hawaiian I'.oard, held on January oth, a communication was received from Mr. Athcrton asking that his resignation as president of the Board, and which had once before been presented, be accepted. As this was Sir. Alberton's express wish in order that his mind might be relieved of the feeling of responsibility involved in holding the office, the Board acted in accordance with his wish and accepted the resignation; but at the same time appointing a committee to convey to Mr. Atnerton its regret at the necessity for bis withdrawal, and lo express its appreciation of his services. The nomination of a successor was referred to the Home ('ommittee. An order for five thousand copies of the December FRIEND has been received from the office of the American Board in Boston, and the rrrcatcr part of this numbeen mailed at the Honolulu Post c.c, addressed to people in all parts of the United States, and to the missionaries of the Board in foreign countries. We Bhas believe that this presentation of the noblest side o* 1 lawaiian history thus put into the hands of intelligent and thoughtful people, will aid materially in bringing about a better understanding of these Islands and in creating an intelligent interest in them. If such should prove to he the CMC we shall feel that the labor ami expense involved in the issue of this special edition had been well repaid. The principle underlying Sabbath observance, as TheScoulariztunfnday. enunciated by the Savior to the cavilling Jews, that "the Sabbath was made for man, and not not man for the Sabbath," is one that every reasonable person approves; but the application of it in the keeping of Sunday, in the complex conditions of modern life, famishes one of the most difficult of religious problems, and hence it becomes peculiarly liable to abuse. The tendency among people who do not wish to be trammelled by any Sunday obligations, if they profess any regard for Sunday it all, is to make the principle a cover for indulgence in pleasure and the pursuit of gain. That it was never intended �o bear such a construction we can plainly see from the Savior's own example, 'lis constant practice was to attend the services of the synagogue on the Sabbath, and so far as be exerted himself otherwise, it was always for the relief >f sonic real human need, and in n manner that never conflicted in any way with die sacred character of the day. There us no instance on record in which he violated the sanctity of the Sabbath for "itber pleasure or profit or in which he gave countenance to this in others. While, therefore, it may be admitted 'hat as the conditions of life change, and people become more and more dependent Upon circumstances Uevond their own control, the forms of Sunday observance ■vill be modified in various ways, and rightlvao. Still it will be man's duty, if be follows the Savior's example, to preserve spirit of the day and pna- ! it from me unnecessary intrusion of secular af-; f airs. There seems to be a Rowing tendency, however, toward such an intrusion which Christian people cannot see withj ■out both anxiety and regret. This is s-crt mi the aimarentlv growing practice of selecting Sunday for the inauguration of larpe enterprises which attract public attention. Witness the use of Sunday that was made in the laying of our cable. Whatever may have been said in excuse of the use of the day for the initiatici of the work at San Francisco, there t.cr tainlv was no excuse for it in MonolM..'. No stress of weather made it DffUlir To lay a half-mile or a mile of cable on a lee shore, could have been done ,<n almost any other of the three hundred or more days in the year exclusive of Sundays.

That Sunday should be chosen for tit opening of so needful and so admirable a public convenience as our electric street car system is a matter of great regret. This was done when the main line was opened, anil, if newspaper reports are true, it is the intention to use the same, day for die inauguration of the extension to Waikiki. The practice of street <ar riding it all on Sunday is still a doubtful one in the minds of some people; and. while it is admitted that it is a itiestioii mi which people may honestly lifTer, it is a difficult question for conscientious Christians to settle, as it open? ■Ip the whole question of Sunday travel md the use of all sorts of conveyances. It is. however, an entirely different question from that of choosing Sunday for 'he inauguration of a street ear system. There does not appear, on the surface at least, any good reason for so doing, or mv reason why another day would not answer all purposes. To open such an enterprise on Stindav. besides being a violation of the Fourth Command•nciit. districts the attention of the vhole community more or less from •be duties appropriate to the day. and furnishes an opportunity and a temptation to neglect those duties, to poonlc who otherwise might not do so. Occasional statements in the newspapers, incidental remarks and to some "xtcnt personal observation seems to war 'ant a belief that the practice of some large corporations in the United State, in continuing the work of the week through Sunday also, is growing upon us here. We do not make the charge, however, nor comment upon.the case in the -tbsence of reliable and clearly understood evidence, as we do not wish to be guilty of misrepresentation or do injustice to any one who might he involved. In conclusion we would simply call attention Jo the fact that the practice if Sunday desecration becomes in some distances an intrusion upon the rights of 'be individual. To say nothing of those •■ . . �4 individuals who are compelled to work on Sunday on pain of losing their places, there are other subtler forms of tl.e evil. For instance when the seller of a Sunday newspaper thnrsts the same into one's face as he is on bis way to Sunday school or church, or when he invades private premises on Sunday in pursuit of his occupation, one feels that if sonic people will desecrate Sunday ihey have no right to do so in a way that will offend the feelings or encroach upon the rights of those who try not to do so, When we remember that the laws and government, by which even those who violate Sunday in these ways arc protected, rest-upon a public sentiment and character which have been, in great degree, nurtured by the influences growing out of a conscientious observance of Sun day, the conclusion can hardly be avoided that such practices weaken the foundation of all good order and national stability, and hence must in the end lead to loss moral and material. The Future of The resignation of Mr. the Hawaiian Atherton from the presi Board dency of the I lawaiian Board, not only necessitates the selection THE FRIEND elementary stages. These, the Board with people of the land, who arc thus in touch its present methods and equipment is not and sympathy with their people, and who able to give, and unless it can rise to have such interests in the Islands as one the occasion and meet this opportunity, naturally has in the land of his birth and it must lose it, as these-young p.opie will the home of his kindred.

Whether such should be the case or not, it is a good time for the Board to define its policy to itself, and decide upon just the course it will pursue in the future. The period through which it is now passinir is critical one, and the steps next determined upon will in all probability decide the character of its influence for all lime to come. The period is critical because l.c Hawaiian work for which it once exclusively stood, lias become, owing to the development of its own work among the other races and the decrease of the native population, a part instead of the whole, and it now rests with the Board to decide whether its efforts ami influence shall decline with the decrease of the native people, or whether it c ill adjust itself to the large and growing demands of the work among the other races.

In Subsequent months, it is likely to be further exerted through such municipal and county governments as ma)- Ik- established. We believe that the Republican Party has accomplished very great benefits during its past history, and that it has vast possibilities for good service in the fttture.

Many such become expert professional politicians, who secure great bold of the reins of power, and use them unscrupulously. But, on the whole, we regard it as a well-founded claim of this party that it has been active for the public weal, and in the main, hospitable to Reforms. Now entering upon new scope for activity in Hawaii, we are looking with much desire and considerable hope for this party to make for itself a noble record for working good and not evil for the people of these Islands, and especially for all who possess citizenship here. For those who have the voting qualifications of race and intelligence, will be the ones most influenced lor good or for evil by the political activity of the ing, as traitors to the public good. It is to be hoped that all grades of this evil crew will in Hawaii, be repelled and not tolerated. The tendency to corrupt bargaining comes most in play in municipal politics. We are seemingly about to enter upon a period of municipal election and administration. The greater proportion ol our voters, especially the Hawaiians and die Portuguese, remain to be educated in the proper exercise of their powers, in May it choosing officials of integrity. prove that those in public leadership among us are able and disposed to do their utmost in influencing voters in Such a right and worthy directions. stamp now placed on our popular politics, will go far in its influence upon our lu.Y.

Therefore, since the needs of this day"* and generation are the same as in his time, since the principles of all true life today arc the same as then, .since many, (more than il realized) go to church MOW "hungering and thirsting" as of old, and finally since "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day and for ever," why should not every minister, il" he he a growing man, feel the unlimited number and scope of subjects that may he handled, and feel the uplift and inspiration and power for all good, throughout eternity itself, that billings to his calling. The pew may rightly ex pect that the minister shall come into the pulpit Christ filled. He who is so tilled will speak easily, graciously, lovingly, persuasively, pointedly, personally, sternly and without mincing matters (if necessary), and wiiuu'ngly. and his words will always he well received, thoroughly acceptable, and prove of inspiration and help to many who are occupying the pew.

Therefore, give that lo us pen pie of the pew, in all ils forms, don't he afraid, and we shall be satisfied. As to the "Manner of Preaching." You ask what it is that detracts from the acceptability of preaching? Well, it is such attempts at expression, through an imagined oratory, 88 to call attention more to Ihe Style than to the matter. Emphasis is one thing, and has its legitimate place. But few men possess the gift of genuine eloquence, and therefore they should not strain after it. The more they try for it. the more they spoil it. Ministers, as well No. 4. As to the "Matter of Preaching" as otl]er speakers, forget that the rostrum "Subjects to be Handled." and "Unvar- from which they speak, docs not authorize a nished Truth or Not." it may be said, let the form of expression greatly different from the preacher be filled with Christ love, and all of address ordinarily employed between man and his subjects will naturally, and easily be of man. The great difference should be in the similar order. Every word will come forth raising of the voice sufficiently for all to hear. with the Christ spirit, and prove acceptable to Talk with a man. or with five men. or ten his hearers.

The readers of THE FsUKND should bear in mind that the Territorial Legislature begins its session the middle ot February. This is very near at hand. It may be worth while to recognize "home influence," and use it in the endeavor to secure good points in the coming liquor legislation. A member of the legislature and his wife can get a rather clear idea of what they want for their own home and its immediate surroundings. It is a pretty safe rule to follow, when the decision is nlade to refuse to crowd upon other homes and other neighborhoods what they do not want for themselves. The golden rule is safe for ultimate Territorial prosperity as well as for successful neighborhood life. An excellent bill was passed by the point.

Please of the friends of Islands are agreed in asking for a fair This and straight local option law. means that a community of the size and extent agreed upon and stated in the law, shall have the powers of deciding for itself whether it wants intoxicating liquors sold within its limits or not. The decision rests upon the ballots of an ma- ! jority of the voters of the community or district. We count this proposition fair lo all the different interests involved in temperance legislation. The will of the majority settles the qucstidn of saloon or no saloon in a definite district. Another point needing action is the difficulty of securing evidence of the illi- in hotels. For some reason the judge of the police court threw aside the law as enacted, and refused to pass sentence acc(irdjng. to its provision. The idea of the act ht unquestionably good. Would it not be well for some of our lawyers to look up this matter—see what corrections need to be made, and re-enact the law, so .strengthened that it will pass judicial inspection and have some weight in the courts? Certainly the thought of employing hoys or girls in close connection with the scenes of a"har room is repugnant to every thoughtful person. Swipes should be placed on the list of illicit liquors if it is not already there. It seems as if some limitation should be placed upon the power of the Treasurer of the Territory to issue licenses. Full opportunity to consider applications for license should be allowed to the public. A clause in some bill stating that any application for license shall be postedin some public place possibly in the government building itself, at least two weeks before a license can be granted, would only be fair to that element in any community that wishes to be heard in opposition to granting such license. Dp saloons celebrate Christmas? Yes, far more abundantly than the churches. They make a special effort toward a little ornamentation and much Christmas giving. It is "Merry Christmas" at the door and "Merry Christmas" at the bar all day long in nearly 150,000 saloons of the United States. The newspapers next day recorded the Christmas gifts of the saloon. Over forty incidents of such gifts as the following lie before the writer, as given by some of the saloons this last Christmas day. John Connors, celebrating, returned home drunk, chopped one of the hands off of his son who was trying to save his mother from drunken wrath. Then again, JamesJ Tyler, of Southington, Connecticut, after celebrating in the saloon, pours oil over the bed and lb Xir—bonfire—nearly succeeded in cremating his wife as well as his home. George Sims, Logansport, Ind., frozen to death in the snow on his wav horr.2 from the saloon. C. C. Laspe, shot through the heart by his friend, Frank Mason, in a Chicago Saloon. In Atlanta, Georgia, James Ewing killed his friend Frederick Stephenson—could remember nothing of the shooting. Twenty fatalities reported from Texas alone. Fires and death, murders and suicides, crimes and injuries innumerable. These are the Christmas gifts of the saloon to its patrons. �8 THE FRIEND iqxjn his actions, or when lie feels a sensation of dismay creeping over him when his thoughts revert to his course of life, he may be sure that the process of deterioration is well advanced. It takes a brave soul to pray, with full willingness to have the prayer answered. "Search me O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me." There is no process equal to this, how ever, to give robustness and power to character. The Holy Spirit is quick to search out and expose sin when once the heart has been laid Open without reservation for his inspection, and his presence in the soul is dullest safe-guard against all unconscious falling away from our best estate. UNCONSCIOUS DETERIORATION moral judgment in Dr. W'm. M. Taylor, a former pastor of P.roatlway Tabernacle, New York, once preached a sermon from the text, "Grey hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not," using this text as the basis of a sermon on the subject of "Unconscious Deterioration." As such, it stands as a felicitiotts example of skilful selection of a text. Such a sermon also stands as an example of that class of discussions that are always timely. There are certain facts of human nature and character that are always the same and to which the preacher must from time to time revert. The liability to insidious and unsuspected deterioration and decline in character is one of the most fundamental of these facts, for the signs of which we must be always on the watch. What are some of these signs? We may consider it a sign of such deterioration when by indulgence in doubtful courses of action our ideals of righteousness have become blurred and Wt no longer feel sure where lies the dividing line between right and wrong. From the nature of things, these can never overlap. They are always separated by a line that is clear and sharply defined. Truth is always opposed to of it. The error and two can have nqthing\in common and those who would take their stand on the side of truth must beAe\yially strenuous to avoid that which is false, and, if in any given case it is difficult to determine the dividing line between them, a person had better adopt an arbitrary one for his own guidance which shall be well over on the side of right. This is always a safe course to pursue and will at least make his moral position secure. It is also a sign of unmarked deterioration in character when we are no longer willing to accept our obligations in the largest sense, and try to limit our duties to a few perfunctory forms within the narrow circle in which we ourselves move. No man liveth unto himself. The people about us and the world at large, have claims u|x>n us, and great ones at that—claims that make heavy demands upon both our personal service and our means. God requires of each person according to his ability, and when we refuse this, and the claims of duty to the world are nop met, we are in the way of moral decline. An unwillingness to face our life's record is also a serious indication of unconscious decline in character. There are certain compartments, so to speak, in the lives of many people into which the light is never allowed to shine-and the doors of which they always pass with averted face.

George lee Hurlon THE HEART OF THE CHILD Love begets love, and those who have been most successful in winning children have been lovers of children. They have also had the nappy faculty of showing that they love them. An institution might be run on some other principle, but a home never could be. Even in institutional life the loving heart works wonders with rude girls and unmanageable boys, and some motherly soul reaches many a stray lamb and brings it to a sheltering fold. This is a day when mothers are making a close study of childhood; when questions of governmental control, education and environment all claim attention, but sometimes the foundation-stone is forgotten. Then the elegant structure of knowledge is weak and lacks support. This foundation-stone is love. It is true in the child-world that if we have all knowledge and no love it profiteth us nothing, for love never fails; the knowledge vanishes, but love abides forever. We then, who would build well, must not forget that first essential, a loving heart for the little child we want to influence. Mothers, you who want to hold your boys and girls as the years go by, begin when they arc little to enter fully into the raptures of their frolicsome times, and be children with them, to enjoy what they enjoy. As I have seen little children I am coming to feel more and more that there is need of more genuine fun in their lives. Mothers would grow younger instead of older if they could open their eves to the fact that they, too, are losing the brightness out of life by not having good, hearty laughs oftcner, and a real romp and game, pulling taffy in the winter, playing ball in the autumn, seeking wild llowers in the spring, and living outdoors in the summer. Do you remember the time when the little baby arms were nestled in yours, a little, wee, pink sort of a hall, and the following exquisite words of George MacDonald's were for you and the little ones: ******** : * ****** return. Something out of the ordinary, some- There are some ways worth mentioning by which the affections of children may be won. If your own are in question you can begin the first thing in the morning by saying in the cheeriest tones possible, "< iood-morning." You will find it pays to keep the cheery tone with which you begin the day, and whatever comes of a fretting nature that cheery tone will go far to dispel. You all know how sensitive we are to the humidity of the air about us. Don't let us make the atmosphere of our homes humid and heavy and damp. Keqi it clear and sunny, and the very little ones will be breathing it all day long; and the bigger ones will say "Good-by" with a happy smile, and will hurry home for the "something nice" you have promised. The best time has not come vet, for that comes at bedtime. A little tired boy or thing unexpected, whether it be a smile, a new dolly, a cooky with a hole in it, or a chocolate-drop, will help win the little heart. Later on the same love which prompted these lesser gifts will plan other surprises and new devotions and time un~ limited, so that each mother will be the: center of a happy household.

Such powers should be used in all gentleness, kindness and love for the souls of men. Preacher's Relations, (a) I do not think as a rule we can mix religion and politics, any more than the average man can mix water and oil. I think perhaps there are times when ministers should take a public stand for good government and good morals of the state or community, but this should be done more as for ministers that is good well on the known of at least one splendid church being ruined and wiped out of existence by trying to mix up politics with preaching from the pulpit.

What men need is bread—not stones; fish— not serpents; figs and not thistles. a good man, than as a minister, are all supposed to stand for all in morality or government, as streets as in the pulpit. 1 have ' c No. 9. "The matter of preaching." It should he the entire counsel of God, as revealed to us in his word, in the light of his Holy Spirit's influence, as affecting, purifying and strengthening the daily lives and characters of the hearers, and as being in a great degree the guiding power in respect to the- future destinies of the immortal souls placed in such a sacred relation to the preacher. To this end the preacher should set forth Christ, first as divine, and the supra-human Son of God, carrying the wreck and ruin caused by our sins—and thus our Savior. Second, as human and perfect, our teacher and example, suffering as we do, and living as we should. The world needs to be convinced of sin today as much as it did when Christ and his apostles preached repentance. Ministers should preach it. They should make plain to the humblest hearer what faith means, and why it is a vital necessity, and how it must lead to obedience and the humble and right living of a true Christian. They should emphasize the truth "Except a man be born again he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." The minister should tell men, first, where they as individuals fail in their daily lives; second, where society fails in its life; or where individual Christians fail in spiritual life; where the church fails in its duties, to the poor, to the erring, to the Sabbath, to the proper government of the country. The experiences of Christians, and the history connected with the Christian life of the world are subjects always welcome and appropriate. You say, "Unvanu lied truth or not?" I have said above, "The whole counsel of God. The preaching of Christ and his apostles seems to be the guide as to the proportion to be observed between one side of the message from God and the other. Also the method that men employ with each other. Allusions to displeasure and punishment arc in our wise dealings with men rare, but they are there all the same, and not to be ignored.

I can at least draw a picture of my ideal minister. He is called. Like Peter and John he hears tne Master's voice saying, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He qualifies himself by study to expound the Scripture! and defend the faith. When his period of preparation is past, he follows the divine leadings into such held as is "white for the harvest." He becomes the pastor of a church, and men at once love him, because, although of them, he is different from them. They arc in the mad rush for gold, for power, for prominence, for first place, lie. with gentle spirit, and loving words, and happy countenance, ministers to the sick, buries the dead, consoles the afflicted, says unto hustling men everywhere, "Peace, be still." He thinks of others first, of himself last. He seeks not this world's vain glory. His whole life reflects the hymn, "O to be nothing, nothing." He goes lo the pulpit from the closet. When he enters the pulpit men say. "Behold be prays" And there is no pretense about it. We feel more reverent, as we look at him. He sings when we sing. His hands move as the choir chants their songs, and we can see that his soul is in the worship His face is aglow with spiritual power as he rises to break the bread of life and feed it to our hungry souls. He neither precedes nor follows his sermon with worldliness, and we say as we hear his final "Amen." "Surely this is the house of God and the gate of heaven to our souls." Such a minister does not preach what he thinks men want to hear. He has no desire to tickle their cars, or to secure their applause by telling them they arc right, when he knows they are wrong. He preaches the gospel, just as Paul did. with earnestness, simplicity and power, knowing nothing among his people save Jesus Christ and him crucified. THE PIG OF CONTENTION.

H., JANUARY, 1903 11l our Decemher number, the purpose was to treat of the early work of the American Hoard in these Islands and the later societies and organizations' which had grown out of that early work, and which are now instrumental in perpetuating' it.

Mr. Stimson, writing from Ruk, mentions the arrival of the schooner Carrie and Annie on the evening of (Ictobcr 15th, after being delayed a month by calms within a few days sail of Butaritari in the Gilbert Islands. The missionaries at Ruk had begun to be short of food and kerosene oil, and had been obliged to eke out the supply by buying from Hongkong and the traders. There had been no actual suffering however. The organization of a new church at their central station is described as follows: 'It was done very properly by a council of Congregational churches, (".illed by letters missive—a native pastor was chairman. Some of the narratives — not many of them—were interesting, and the visiting deacons did a good share of the examining. The Sunday services w ere very long, but very solemn and interesting to all our people. Forty-three were selected fur membership from fiftynine applicants." Mr. Stimson speaks with regret of the weakness of the native helpers and of his being the only man to care for all tin- work and his being without means to visit all the stations. ()f the Gilbert Island work, Mr. Walkup writes rather discouragingly. Shortage of food on one island, sickness and failure in morals among the native teachers, temptations to laxness in living being the difficulties in the way. His little schooner, the Hiram Bingham, had, also, been twice ashore, due to the breaking of her cable. The second time, it was only after some days of hard work, digging away the sand by which she had been partially buried, that the vessel was gotten afloat. She was not seriously damage 1 by these experiences, but had been much hindered by calms. Mr. Walkup in his lonely and difficult field should have the prayerful sympathy of all Christain people. • ■ TheHawai an Board With the withdrawal of the American Board from financial responsibility in these Islands, the duty falls wholly upon the Hawaiian Board of carrying forward the work which it has inherited from the former body, as well as that which has grown Up under its own initiative. Under these circumstances the relation of this Hoard to the spiritual and material welfare of the islands should be' brought to the attention of all who live or have interests here. When the missionaries of the American Board landed here in 1820, Jhey found the people in a state of barbarism. According to the records of the churches which grew out of that work, they have brought to a profession of Christianity from imong the natives alone, 65,898 persons, a number equal to nearly one half of the population when the islands were discovered. Besides this ingathering of souls, a Christian civilization has been established from which the whole population, whether professing Christianity or not, has been greatly benefitted. .Again w hen the American Board began work here the value of property was very small; Today, according to the report of the Governor to the Secretary of the Interior, the value of property in these Islands subject to ad valorem taxes, is $110,388,578. In its work here the American Board spent $1,577,956.27. This money was not expanded in business or speculation for the purpose of making more money. It was spent in laying the moral and intellectual foundations of civilization, and the hundred millions or more of property values is merely an incident or outgrowth of this work. Without the moral and intellectual foundation it never would have reached such a figure. and, if '.his foundation were to fail, the value of property would greatly deteriohas, therefore, rate. Christianity wrought out here as it does everywhere a two-fold result, in that souls have been .aved and the conditions under which life and property are safe have been established. We would not say of course, that the American Board can claim the credit for all the benefits of civilization thai we enjoy here today. Such other agencies as have wrought here should have credit for what they have done, but the American Board being the first comer and most extensive influence in the islands, has undoubtedly achieved a greater result than any other factor. Tbe Hawaiian Board now becomes the heir to the duty and opportunity of car- rying on the work begun here so long ago; and, added to this, is the work among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese which this Board has itself inaugurated. This work'expands faster than the ability of the Board to meet it. and hence is always calling for assistance that cannot be given to it. Now the continuation nf the Hawaiian work handed over by the American Board and the newer work among the races which have more recently come to these shores, is vital to the best interests of these Islands. The future welfare of all classes here will depend upon the readiness with which the needs of these peoples arc recognized and met. A healthy, vigorous effort, of the most pronounced Christian type, undertaken and persistently carried on. is imperatively demanded to meet the needs that are now before us as Well as those that are sure arise in the near future. New problems arc arising every day and new methods and increased resources arc needed to meet them. From a human point of view it would seem to he unfortunate that just when these greater responsibilities arc devolving upon it, the Hawaiian Board finds itself hampered in various ways. In the first place it is short-handed. Its working force is for the time reduced, two of its most effective men being temporarily laid aside. Also, in its councils, it suffers the lack of its president, Mr. Atherton, and a member of its finance committee, Mr Jones, who have been kept away for sometime by illness. It is also carrying a debt of about $12,000 and this is increasing from month to month. Under such circumstances one of two things is inevitables either it must find relief or a serious diminution of its work and influence must follow shortly. We have said that this is the outlook from a human point of view; but we cannot believe that it means disaster. The plans of God arc too far-reaching and his ability to touch the springs of power as latent in human wealth is too great to allow the work over which he has watched with special care to fail or be greatly weakened, Shall not one outcome of the Week of Prayer, be a renewed consecration of our means to his service. to Since the above was put in type, it is learned that a friend of the Board has cancelled its debt. THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION By a late mail, we have letters from Ml. Delapprte by way of ffongkong of dates. October 6th, Bth and loth. At the first writing Mr. Dchporte and family, now numbering four souls, were on board the S. S. Oceana in the port of Jaluit, Marshall Islands. On the Btli. they were on the steamer 200 miles eastward nf Kusaie, or Strong's Island and bound thither. < >n the 10th of October, they had arrived at Kusaie. where they planned to remain for two months "nr so, until, on the return of the steamer Oceana from Hongkong, they could embark for their home nn I'leasant Island. Under date of October Bth, Mr. Delaporte writes: "Your interesting letters of May 28th, June 27th and July Ist were handed to mc at Jaluit a few days ago. We were very glad to bear from you, and rejoice because of the continued interest our many friends at Honolulu take in our work." Regarding the object of this visit to �THE FRIEND Kusaie, Mr. Delaporte says: — "You will he wondering what we are doing on board the S. S. Oceana. We are on our way lo Kusaie to have a portion of the New Testament scriptures and a hymn-book printed. We have worked day and night during the last two months to get ready, and We can now with the help of God, when printed, place the Gospels of Matthew and John, the Kp:sties to the Galations, I and II Timothy and I, II and 111 John, in the hands of the people. We have also prepared a small hymn-book." Later on Mr. Delaporte speaks of having arranged to receive every four months, per Oceana, potatoes, onions and fruit.'He also says that we can send mail matter to him either by way of Sydney or Hongkong. The letter of October ioth was from Kusaie and says that Mr. Channon and family and Dr. Rife and family were well. Miss Wilson had gone on the Carrie and Annie to Ponape, and the return of this schooner from Ruk was expected in January. Mr. Delaporte and family hoped to be back at Nauru or Pleasant Island by' Dec. 24th. O. H. G. AMONG THE FARMER FOLK A Letter From Dk. Dobkmus Scuddeh For missionaries a summer at Kar.uizava, under the shadow of Asainayama, Japan's liveliest volcano, represents the acme of enjoyment. In some unexplainable way the air in this lofty mountain valley has acquired a tonic quality very different from anything to be found at Xikko, Hakone or any other of the noted resorts in the Empire. If not over stimulated by it, this atmosphere means rest and health for those worn out by over exertion while the association with fellow-workers of all missions and no missions wonderfully tones up the spiritual nature. As no place in Japan presented as good an opportunity for summer Study, Mrs. Scudder and I were glad to accept the invitation of my cousin Rev. Frank S. Scudder of Nagano to share their vacation home. More solid hours of work were put into the language during two months at Karuizava than during an equal amount of time anywhere else since reaching Japan. Meanwhile, in order to carry practice along with theory, a preaching service was opened at Miyoda a nearby station on the railroad where the gospel was faithfully presented on Sundays for a month and a half. Our next move was to Niigata, our former home and mission station. Here we were most cordially received by friends and fellow laborers of thirteen Many changes had been wrought in this period, some grave, others full of cheer. Christian work in this province has been beset with many discouragements but within the past year there has been a most hopeful improvement, conversions have been frequent, backsliders have returned to the faith and the church members are beginning to ■'rake up _*ctive personal work. A tour of the whole field of this station revealed harvest time almost everywhere. As Xiigata is one of the prefectures from which large numbers of laborers have gone to Hawaii, a vigorous attempt was made to meet the relatives of these emigrants. Various means were invoked to achieve success. First the authorities were asked for a list of names and adyears before. dresses, and an attempt was made to see a number of people in their homes. This was found to consume so much time that it was out of the question to cover much ground in the few days available. How- ever, the experience was one to be long remembered. The simple farmer folk were overjoyed to see some one wJio had COme from the land where the loved son, or husband, or brother had gone. One young fello.v could hardly bring himself to believe that a foreigner could takeso much interest in his brother and exclaimed "'And are you not a Japanese then?" Another, a hale old grandmother of over 75 years, seemed quite pained that her oft repeated invitation to stay and dine could not be accepted, and followed me far from her door. I can see her now, her face with its halo of whitened hair framed in the hedge through which she was peering as she waved her farewell. The second method tried was to secure the assistance of local evangelists or Christian friends, to call together the relatives of Hawaiian Japanese in some This plan convenient meeting place; proved mope successful than the first in that many could be met with little expenditure of time but only a very few centers could thus be reached and only a small proportion of the people could be gotten out in such an informal manner. When, however, the help of the local government officials was requested and tiiis request was seconded by influential letters of introduction, as was 'the case in one town, it was found that :hc people responded in large numbers, that government buildings (the only available meeting places in many localities) could be secured and that greater freedom and spontaneity characterized the gathering. A large number of these relatives came, bringing all sorts of requests and messages for their friends in Hawaii. "I am an old man," exclaimed a well-known farmer, "and can work no 5 more. Tell my son to come home." "My boy," said a broken-hearted mother, "has riot written to me in three years. I tlo not know why be never answers my letters. Please say to him that his Father is dead and my heart is sad because hehas forgotten his home. Get him to write to me." The mother of several children, whose appearance bore out her story of hardship, came with the plea, "We are My husband has pot r and need he)]). long ceased to send us money. Please find him and see if he will not do something for our support." And so it went. one touching appeal after another, all taken carefully down in my notebook. And as the hearts of these simple country folk were revealed to me, it was evident that here was a rare method opened if establishing the closest personal -relation both with these farmers in Japan and their kinsmen in Hawaii. All who attended these gatherings were likewise impressed. The result of this experience was the decision to make a systematic attempt to meet as many of the families of Japanese in Hawaii as possible. To do this the diinl method detailed above that of securing the co-operation of the local authorities was the only one with any promise of success. Recourse was therefore had at once to influential personal friends with the gratifying result that high officials in the capital have most graciously consented to co-operate, and now the great western prefectures of Hiroshima. Vamaguchi, Fukuoka and Kumamoto are to form the center of a campaign of between one and two months in which it is Imped that many hundreds of families may be reached. If this expectation be realized it will be well t<» follow the same tactics in several other localities whence Hawaii draws its supplies of Japanese laborers.

[Apropos to the discussions on the relation of the church to the masses and the influence of preaching in general, which are so common in these times, we print the following article from the Sunday School Times, by "one of the most prominent laymen in America." The writer evidently believes in going to church. —Ed.l I am not a minister, nor at all likely to become one. God has called me, I believe, to my secular pursuit, amt thereby made it as sacred as any pastorate. But if I were not a—what I am, . �6 I would rather be a preacher; and the fact that multitudes of laymen make the same admission is proof of the supreme nobility of the preacher's calling, on the principle that the second choice of all the delegates to a political convention is the fittest nominee. 1 revere the gospel ministry as the loftiest human occupation, and, if I thought that what I am about to write would be 'held derogatory to that exalted pursuit, and those that follow it, I should lay down my pen with this period. However, when that pillar fell in Westminister Abbey a year ago, and when certain considerations led London 10 fear for the foundations of St. Paul's, men were not considered wanting in reverence for their ancient monuments when they raised strict inquiry concerning the causes of such alarms, and demanded an account of those precious charges from those custodians. Indeed, 11 any one censures my remarks, it will not be the ministers themselves, but their self-appointed apologists. The eagerness of the modern clergy to receive suggestions from the laity has even become a weakness, in some cases arguing less a childlike willingness to learn than a sense of insecurity and insufficiency. I would gladly sec our ministers more sturdily independent. In telling how I would do it if I were a minister, I have not the least confidence that I should live up to my own ideals, if tint to the actual test, nor that even if 1 were able to do this, 1 should not fall short in numberless particulars not here set down. Doubtless the mysterious minister who. in the series Ol articles-complementary to this, will tell us laymen how to do it, would enter an equal caveat. But I shall be glad, none the less, or read his hints, and put them in practice wherever he does not altogether shoot over the mark of a layman's life. Doubtless he will yield me the same honest observance. Perhaps it will not be out of place to say that my calling has for years brought me into contact with an exceptionally large number both of ministers and laymen, so that my remarks may claim some basis of experience. Also, I want to say that, though I remain THE FRIEND church; they do not want a weekly review from the pulpit. To a minister, with this theological training, the urgent themes of politics, science, and literature, appeal with all the fascination of novelty. He forgets that for his intelligent hearers all the novelty has worn off while to then the fresh theme is that very theology which has become Irite and stale to him Moreover, tha: is his citadel, his stronghold. If he (lis •usscs the topic of imperialism, dozens if men in the congregation are far better informed than In:, and will yawn at his platitudes, deny Ins statements, and controvert his positions. If he builds a lermon on "Romola," or if his disburse is a veiled treatise on the nebular hypothesis, every high-school gradlate before him will resent such a resurrection of his school days. Hut if.be preaches the great doctrines of sin and salvation; if he gets his major inspiraion from the Bible, and not from Darwin, Kipling, or the Tribune; if he reaches beyond the times to the eternities,—lie will compel attention by the virility of his theme, and fascinate his hearers with its novelty. Rejecting, with David's wisdom, the clumsy armor ;>f a Saul, he will smite with his own proper weapons, and the Goliaths will ■verywhere fall. I am well aware that, of the increasing number of clergymen who, to my apprehension, preach politics, literature and science, there is no one of [hem all but would indignantly profess to be preaching pure religion. And, indeed, a religious finale is invariably appended to their sermons. But the scientific illustrations overbalance the truths illustrated. The palpable zest is for the struggle with Filipino or Boer, rather than tor the combat with that outgrown personage, Beelzebub. We stumble against the religious conclusion of the sermon with just such a shock as we experience in meeting the reference to Dr. Pulver's Purple i'ills at the end of that fascinating column in the news- ' paper. The ministers that preach thus are eager, I am sure, to be fishers of men, but 1 am afraid they are using the wrong bait. The laymen that go to anonymous at the suggestion of the church go there, in the main, hungry for Editor, and doubtless shall push an spiritual food. If 1 were a preacher, I easier pen because of this anonymity, should give it to them "straight." I yet I intend to write nothing I would should look into my heart, and, so far not stoutly sign, and 1 hereby permit as possible, into theirs. I should brood the Editor to tell who T am whenever over the sins and temptations, the hopes he chooses. , The first thing I am moved to say is that, if I were a preacher. I would not preach literature, science, or politics. I would preach religion. Laymen get enough of the newspaper outside the and fears, the worries and sorrows, the triumphs and the joys, of our common life. I should seek to draw from the supernatural world some mighty inspiration for their labors, solace for their griefs, assurance for their doubts, peace for their turmoil, and enrichment for their joys. 1 should let all the world help me preach, but only as the glass of the telescope is. permitted to focus the light of the stars. It is no guess of mine that the multitude would glad ly listen to such preaching, since it has for its model Phillips Brooks, and Spurgeon, and Moody, and McLaren, and all the other preachers, and Christ himself. In the second place, I have made up my mind that, if I were to preach, 1 should not preach the higher criticism. I have no quarrel with some of the higher critics; they are learned and godly men. I do not dispute their theories, except when they are obliged to attribute lo the writers of the Bible insincerities and dishonesties thai would shock a New York ward politician. Ministers know the absolute truth about the Scriptures, and must preach -n the light of that knowledge. To preach the higher criticism, however, is like taking a starving man ink) the kitchen, bidding him note just how a loaf of bread is compounded. Men are hungry for Bible food, and Bible food ii not a treatise on the date of Deuteronomy. If, before they mention the possibility of a second Isaiah, ministers would estimate what proportion of their audience has ever read more than two chapters of those sublime writings, they would postpone higher criticism in favor of exposition. What folly to discuss the composite character of the liooks of Samuel before a congregation, not ten of whom could give any account, beyond his boyhood, of his second greatest of the ancient Hebrews! If the higher criticism does no! undermine the faith of the higher critics, it is because in their case it is only the superstructure of an intimate acquaintance with the Bible. To preach these thorics before congregations not thus founded in Bible knowledge, is to lav granite blocks upon the quicksands. If the minister should approach higher criticism as poorly prepared as the average laymen before whom he recklessly presents his critical conclusions, those conclusions would make him as skeptical as they often make the laymen. In the third place, if T were a minister I would preach as if I meant it. We laymen yield our hearts very readily to any preacher who is possessed by his subject. Ido not mean sawing the air, nor shouting, nor those strained, impressive low tones. It makes no difference to mc —nor to most laymen— whether a preacher uses manuscript, or mere notes, or speaks out of his imnie(Continued on page 10.) �7 THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES. Edited by REV. W. D. WESTERVELT. Rev. W. H. Rice, who for the past year has been Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League in Hawaii, retired from that office the first of January, 1905. Owing to lack of sufficient funds the League decided to dispense with the services of a |iaid superintendent.. Mr. Ricehas aided both by song and stereopticon in a number of meetings, during the year. He has been especially helpful in the services held in the native churches around Honolulu. He has an excellent stt'reopticon, fitted for cither electric or acetylene gas lights, and a fine series of volcanic views, and also of the Hawaiian Islands. His plans for the future are not vet definitely settled. The Anti-Saloon League retains its office, for the present month at least at No. <>, Mclntyre Building corner of King and Fort streets. Mr. Rice will be in the room a part of the time each day to receive the payment of subscriptions due during 1902, and also to aid any persons coming for consultation. Other members of the League will take office hours from 11-12 a. nt., when it can be so arranged as to be convenient. The sale of intoxicating liquors to children is not confined to the Hawaiian Islands by any means. We have had some flagrant cases here, but it is not done with quite as bold a public statement a.s characterized tlie words of an officer of the Liquor League of Ohio at a meeting in which the interests of the saloon business were discussed. "It will appear from these facts, gentlemen, that the sucess of our business is dependent largely upon the creation of appetite for drink. Men who drink liquor, like others, will die, and if there is no new appetite created, our counters will be empty, as will be our coffers. Our children will go hungry, or we must change our business to that of some other more remunerative. "The open field for the creation of this appetite is among the boys. After men have grown and their habits are formed, they rarely ever change in this regard. It will be needful, therefore, that missionary work be done among the boys, and I make the suggestion, gentlemen, that nickels expended in treats to the boys now, will return in dollars to your tills after the appetite has been formed. Above all things, create appetite!" The foregoing paragraph appeared in The Union Signal of January 28, 1897. The mci dent therein related has been substantiated, and we desire to hold it before the public, anl especially before the fathers, until they pas; judgment upon the saloon business. The two most destructive evils in the That we have nearly 11,000 barrels of fermented liquor and over 17,000 gallons of rectified spirits produced in these Islands and reported to the United States authorities is a strong count —add to this the vast quantity of liquors of all kinds shipped in, and a river of liquid destruction can easily be recognized as pouring through these Islands. The Advertiser says, concerning the, numbers of firms paying the federal tax, "this makes one liquor dealer for every 339 and a fraction of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands." If the destruction simply meant the misery of the man who already drinks we might let it pass as an almost hopeless case, and expect the fire to die out when the material already on fire is burned tip. But the law of the saloon is a natural law to be placed in the same category as any of the laws regarding the development of evil. They never burn themselves up. They never cease developing new material. Note the fact as engrossed on the experience of these islands. It proves the law world are the social evil and drunkenness. There are few spots on the face of the earth, where these two forces side by side are not breathing out their poison. Their baleful influences never wilingly let go of their aged victims. Their octopus hands try to fasten upon the most secret desires of the young. That any excuse or encouragement can he given to them by reasonable men passes belief. They have united to destroy more homes, and waste more substance, and weaken more moral stamina, and make imbecile more brain power, than almost all other criminal influences combined. Very seldom docs any person make exReported in liquor licenses 2,) cuse concerning gambling or theft and Hiring 1902, 1896, Territorial liquor licenses.... 151 never concerning the desire to commit 'or 1902, U. S. liquor tax certificates... .455 :— murders. But these two more injurious evils arc excused times without number. Either there is an awful element of callousness in man—an ohtuseness of perception of results, standing in the way of the perfection of humanity like a precipice over which innumerable men fall, or else there is an implied blame of the Almighty. "Men have passions. We must provide means for their gratification." The charge that drunkenness and the social evil the two most crushing avalanches of pain and suffering, must be fostered and provided with channels in which to do their work easily, "because the Almighty made men so," can readily be left to the Almighty himself to meet when those who make the charge stand before Him face to face. Reason teaches that there will be an awful reckoning for the accusers of God. The thing with which we have to do is the unquestioned fact of the enormity of the pitiful results of the continued cultivation of these evils as connected with practical every day life. The, Washington correspondent of The Advertiser made tbe following report concerning firms which handle alcoholic liquors in the Hawaiian Islands: tectifiers of spirits 4 56 Vholesale liquors dealers ....; .etait liquor dealers 395 2_s .ealers in malt liquors 16 Vholesalers in malt liquors I7,'47 iallons of spirits rectified ermented liquors produced in the Isl10,912 ands, barrels : Now note the additional fact that although drunkards have died in numbers during these six years past nevertheless the saloons have gone on increasing. Again it is almost the same as calling the responsible men of our islands brainless, when we stop to point out the fact that the law of the saloon demands new material for its increased traffic. Here is where the fiendish nature of liquor selling receives its fullest development. A man is but little short of being a fiend wb< n he can deliberately make new material for drunkards. Now this liquor question faces men who arc not fanatics. It is one of the most practical business propositions, before the responsible men of the community. It is pertinent to ask these men. "What are you going to do about it?" Can you afford to see the children of Hawaii lose their possibilities of good citizenship and useful lives and in continually increasing numbers be poured into the continually enlarging hopper which feeds the saloon?" An increase from 23 saloons in 1896 to at least 400 saloons in 1902 is a frightful menace to the business prosperity of Hawaii. What are you going to do about it ? It is not playing with idle words when we say that the stories of the past ravages of the social evil in these islands, are horrible in the extreme. Yet all men know that the social evil fattens upon the victims of its twin brother drunkenness. �8 THE -FRIEND TL hCeristan ife...

How is it with you? Are you content with the character which you brought out of the old year, and with which you are setting forward upon the new? Is not this a time for you to review your character, and see what are its .elements, how you are shaping it, what you mean by it, and what you have obtained thus far? Is it not a time for you to look into the future? No matter how old you are, it is not too late for you to learn in the school of Christ. And it is a noble ambition with which you should begin the year—not to swell your coffers, not to have move of this world's good, but to begin the year chiefly with the ambition to be more like Christ, and to have the power of God resting upon you, and to know the will of God, and so to live that whosoever meets you shall know that you have been with Christ. Out of this spirit what blessings will flow! Oh, if you were holier, how much happier would you be! Oh, if you were holier, how would fall down from you straightway those discontents, those cares, those frets, those ill wills, and those thousand torments which so much have snared you, and so much have marred your enjoyment in the days that are past! It is because you are not good that you are not happy. For he that dwells in the secret place of the Almighty, he that lives as in the very presence of Christ, can say, "My Master hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, so that I can boldly cry, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." And trust thee to the end; Knowing thou leadest spheres onward to those Where there are neither days, nor months, nor years. //. W. Bcecher. PYOATUMHNGE EOPLE As planned by the local Union recently, Sunday evening, December 21st, witnessed the commencement of the inter-society visiting arranged to take place the third Sunday of each month. In spite of the severe storm most of those appointed a.s delegates paid a visit to the Society to which they were assigned, and reports come in that the idea meets with great favor. Too great stress cannot be laid on the good-fellowship principle which IS supposed to underlie all Christian Endeavor work, and this seems a step in the right direction. Endeavor. Christan President R. H. Trent spent a couple of weeks on Hawaii recently. The Watch Night meeting of December 31st at Central Union Church was divided in such a way that the time from 10 to 10:50 was given over to the young people of the city. Special music under the charge of Miss Florence R. Yarrow was a feature of this part of the service, as well as testimonies from the members of the societies of the Union. December 21st there was a special Christmas Praise Service at Central Union Society. A double quartette rendered two excellent selections, and a solo by Mr. Livingstone of Kamehameha added to the pleasure of those present. A special collection was taken up for the purpose of sending Christmas presents to some of the workers engaged in mission work in the city. The Society also gave a special donation of $20 from its treasury for other mission work in the Islands. The Kawaiahao Sunday School had their Christmas entertainment on the evening of Thursday, December 18th. The children did well in their exercises. Church closed their year's work just before Christmas. The sewing class sent several garments as a gift to the Kona Orphanage. The average attendance each week is 125 girls. A number of ladies help with the older girls, and four Kawaiahao Seminary girls have come every Friday and taught the little ones. The girls take great interest in the lace work. This class is taught by one of the Hawaiian girls who learned the art at Kamehameha from Miss Lucy Adams. Several pieces of lace have been sold. We hope next year to do more and better work. . REV. JOHN PINNEY ERDMAN After a service of three years and four months as Superintendent of the Palama Mission and Assistant Pastor of Central Union Church, Mr. Erdtnan leaves to accept an appointment as missionary to Central China or Japan, under the Northern Presbyterian Hoard, Mr. Erdman's attention was turned to missionary work while a student in the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago during which time he became identified with the student volunteer movement. He took up work in connection with Central Union Church pending his appointment to the foreign field. His acceptance of his present appointment is therefore but the carrying out of his original plan of life work. During his connection with the work of Central Union Church, Mr. Erdman has proved a most efficient helper. While his chief activities have heen connected with Palama Chapel, he has rendered valuble assistance to the pastor, both in the pulpit and work of the home church. On several occasions he has supplied the pulpit during the pastor's absence on his summer vacation anxl his ministrations have been greatly appreciated by the church. During the three years and four months that Mr. Erdman has had charge of Palama Chapel, several have come into the home church on confession of faith from that mission. Mr. Erdman carries with him into his new field, the best wishes of the entire congregation of Central Union Church. �THE FRIEND OUR ISLAND HOMES "Orphan hours, the year is dead, Come and sigh, come and weep! Merry hours smile instead, For the year is but asleep, See, it smiles as it is sleeping. Mocking your untimely weeping. As the wild wind stirs and sways The tree-swing cradle of a child, So the breadth of these rude days Rocks the year:—be calm and mild, Trembling hours, she will arise With new lore within her eyes." Beginnings are good—of course,—But aren't we sometimes sick and tried of new leaves—that is, the kind that is "turned over"? Many of them are dogeared from having been "turned over" so often. A better kind of new leaf is that of the trees—of our tropic trees. They are really new, though they come inconspicuously. Can we really drop all the past and begin again like the naked elms in \'ew England? Some people undo themselves answering all their letters, paying all their calls, finishing lists of errands, jobs of making or mending, breaking off habits, "doing up" everything and begin fresh on New Year's morning. Here is a Kiawe tree over our heads with half its leaves' new and half its leaves old. An imperceptible change is in progress—imperceptible save for the exquisite shading and blending of greens, the characteristic beauty of this tree.

BOYHOOD MEMORIES OF EARLY HAWAIIAN TIMES "And when the days of boyhood came, And I had grown in love with fame, ******* Words cannot tell how bright and gay The scenes of life before me lay." Few indeed the island boys who did not rejoice in horses! The very beginning was riding stick horses. A good stra-'ght stick or rod of the lama (or nnta) tree, such as were used by the Hawaiians upon the roof of a house to which to bind the thatch grass, made the best of the stick horses. Two or three boys prancing around on very spirited stick-horses were doubtless an interesting sight to the mother if to no one else. These were safe auto-mobiles. 9 But the period of .satisfaction to our lot than that of hunting hen's in riding stick-horses is short, and nests.

FOUNDERS' DAY AT THE KAMEMEHA SCHOOLS As usual, the chapel and assembly halls THE MEETING OF THE MAUI ASSOCIATION were made beautiful by leis of mountain ferns, gathered at dawn by students eager to perform any service which would further the success of the day. At ten o'clock Friday morning the students marched to the Royal Mausoleum in dignified procession, forming a square about the tomb of the Kamchamehas, tbe girls and the younger boys clad in spotless -white, the boys of the manual school in their military uniforms. The service at the Mausoleum was most impressive, with its exquisite music, the pledges of the students to be worthy their inheritance, and the scattering of flowers of the royal color, purple and yellow. At the schools, the Hawaiian flag float-, ed all the afternoon above the students gathered at their annual luau, with its reproduction of all the time-honored dishes of the old feasts. The day closed with a gathering at the Bishop Memorial Chapel of students, alumni and friends Rev.

The fact that it came at the close of an active political campaign may have had some effect on the attendance, which was unusually small. All the East Maui pastors, from Keanae to Kaupo were absent. The chief interest centered in the theological class led by Rev.

THE �14 THE FRIEND doctrines of fifty years ago and cnumer-i them well. The man who attempts to expound to these native thinkers the teachings of today as they square will, a Christian evolutionary hypothesis, will have a hardtask, for the native mind is not scientific,it cannot understand the speculative thought of the modern schools. Neither is ii in the highest sense ethical. The imprecatory Psalm does not trouble him, nor the stories of slaughter as found in Hebrew history. The native loves speculation, | hut it is speculation after the other fashion that attracts him. He will debate for hours over the question whether the Almighty can put two hills in juxtaposition without there being a depression between them. It is evident that Hawaiians \n\-i\ the best there is in the thought. of today. They need a larger concep-j tiim of God. It were well if they were led to dwell on the perfect humanity of Jesus.
