Gift
through the daily press
of the gift to the Board by Mrs. Athcr-
ton, in accordance with the wish of her
husband, the late J. 15. Atherton. He
never liked notoriety. He would not
have liked to have much said concerning his gift, and in this wish, no doubt,
his wife and family share. There still
remains, however, to say that his original intention was to endow the Hoard
to the amount of $50,000. The financial
pressure being so great last year, he decided to give $12,000 to wipe out the
overdraft at the bank. This left $38,000,
the securities for which have recently
been handed to the Treasurer, to constitute the J. B. Athcrton Fund. The income from this fund may be used for the
current expenses of the Board.

This much, however, concerning the

liberty to say concerning the personnel of the supervisors. We are
glad that the present head of the government is not also the manager of an important branch of the liquor industry.
Of course the Republican party knew
what it was doing when it permitted the
candidacy of Mr. Hocking. Still, it professed to feel (through tlie mouth of its
chief organ) considerably aggrieved that
this gentleman so far forgot the "rules
of the game" as to seek and obtain the
chairmanship of the Hoard of Supervisors. Did the party consider for a moment that the head of a business so inimical to the public welfare, could forget
that he was in a [)osition to maintain the
well being of the liquor business ?

liquor business, we only tolerate it. Put

Kamehameha most ably presented the
need of consideration as to the character
of the course in our primary and elementary school work. One of our oldest and
ablest educators, he has proved in many
instances the advantage of the training
which may be characterized by the word
"observing" over that somewhat covered
by the word "cramming." When will we
learn that Power is what we want
in our chidrcn, —increased ability to
think, read, acquire, do for themselves.
The chief quarrel with our schools has
been (alas! is today) that the grade requirement forces most teachers—we believe unwillingly, in many cases —to
cover up the children with so much dead

that the courteous and graceful intent of

"Among the many excellent addresses, (at
noon meetings in Boston in the interest of
Foreign Missions) one from the Rt. Rev. H.
B. Restarick, D. D., Bishop of the Episcopal
Church of Honolulu, attracted special attention. Bishop Restarick, since coming to this
country, had heard disparaging utterances respecting the missionaries and the children of
the missionaries in Honolulu, so that he felt
called upon on this occasion to hear testimony to
the work done in the Islands by the American
Board. He spoke in eloquent terms of the
consecration, ability and devotion of the sons
and daughters of the missionaries who are
now at the islands, many of whom are giving

without much knowledge of the investigations above mentioned, determined
upon and planned for a Normal Course.
Their idea was to take as a nucleus Mr.
Richards' class, some of the young
women in Kawaiahao Seminary and
some of the pupils of the Normal School
now living at the Kaiulani Home; then
build up slowly from the outside. The
plan involved a course, including some
musical drill; the Bible as a text book;
method work following lines already established in the day school Normal work.
Of course, Prof. Wood is pre-eminently
the man for this leadership. He will be
able to bridge over the alarmingly large
gap between the day-school and the Sunday-school. The making of maps, the
introduction of drawing and practice
teaching,—all combined, cannot fail to
attract serious-minded young people,
who will now feci that something worthy
of their efforts is in reach.
To make the advantages of such a
course as wide as possible, there will be
a meeting called to get the opinions of
as many superintendents and Sundayschool workers as possible. In fact, a
meeting is already provided for (at the
present writing) and the consensus of
opinion as to where, when and what is
awaited with interest.
FOR
FIFTY YEARS
MISSIONARIES
Two of the noblest men who ever
lived on the shores of the Pacific have
now completed fifty years of missionary
service.
Rev. James Kekela and Rev. S. Kauwealoha, missionaries to the Marquesas
Islands in early life, after finishing with
credit to themselves the course at the Lahainaluna College and receiving instruction in a theological class taught by Rev.
Sheldon Dibble, and later in the school
founded by Rev. W. P. Alexander for
the training of a Hawaiian ministry,
were settled as the first native Hawaiian
pastors, the former at Kahuku, Oahu,
and the latter at Kaanapali, Maui.
These men had for five or six years
been pastors and preachers, when in 1853
Matunui,
a Marqttcsian chief named
landed at Lahaina, asking that a teacher
of Christianity be sent to his islands,
that his countrymen might receive the
blessings which so evidently hail come to
Hawaii with the light of Christianity.
The missionary fathers and leading
Christians in the Hawaiian churches, in
heeding this Macedonian call, selected
these two stalwart men as suitable ones
to face the dangers and discomforts of
life in the then cannibal group of the
Marquesas.
With their most worthy wives, these
two men, in 1853, cheerfully entered

Nuuhiwa, with white police, and at Atuona, Hibaoa, is Beregatia and white policemen, preserving order among residents and among strangers. They advise the prosecution of manual labor, and
they punish transgressors. The French
officers repress evil-doers; there is no
war and but little violence, and the manufacturers of rum are punished, for they
are the source of the murders committed.
The boys and girls are taken to the
family schools and to the day schools.
The Government roads are kept in good
repair; but the number of the natives is
diminishing, and there are no Chinamen,
Japanese, Portuguese, or Gilbert Islanders to do the work. There are but few
Frenchmen or Americans, or foreigners
of any kind; and there is no work to
enrich or contribute to the comfort of
the people. The resources of this people
are their breadfruit and cocoanut trees,
and the fish of the sea.
The blight rests upon man and upon
the trees, destroying the leaves and rendering them unproductive; even the
guavas, the cocoanuts, the vi, the bananas, the mango, the melon and the
squashes, upon the honey combs and
upon mankind. (This sentence is poetical and figurative, relating to the curse
of sin which rests upon all creation as
well as upon man.)
As regards the work of God in Nuuhiwa, we know that He is the Lord and
Father over all the world. The Lord
Jesus has given us the word, teaching us
to pray, "Thy kingdom come." Many
have been the Christian workers who have
come to these islands for the establishment of His kingdom, and the most of
them have been laid to rest. You and I
are waiting still for the coming of His
kingdom; we have waited these fifty
years now past. Have we seen the
fruit of our labors? Has the kingdom
of our Lord been established in these
islands? Do you remember loba lohetia of Oomoo, Fatuhiva, the first fruit of
the ingathering into the church ? You
have not forgotten Abraham Natua and
his wife, the deacon of the church, and
Eva Hipahipa, the true believer in Jesus?
You remember Daniel Tohutete and his
children, and Vaianea, who was sought
by his brother to aid in getting me settled at Hanatetuua? So also here at
Uapou there were many who heard gladly the word of the Kingdom, until the
coming of the smallpox, which took some
of our hopeful followers.

in Nuuhiwa. He is valiantly at work for
the kingdom, verily believing that the
kingdom of God has come to this land.
He is praying the Lord to send more laborers into the field, and is gathering
the true believers together. The Tahitian
missionary, Tamatahi, and his wife are
stationed at Puaniau, Hivaoa, to the satisfaction of the children and the brethren there.

if you are in the Japanese swim. Christianity- is a living force there and no mistake. At its head stand a David and
Jonathan pair of friends, Messrs. Fukuda and Uchida. They were comrades
back inDoshishadays at Dr. Necsima's
splendid University. There they came to
know and love one another as only college boys can. Rev. Mr. Fukuda, the
up]K-r classman, came to Lihue a year
ago and fought to the finish his battle of
homesickness all alone. What a tough
job that is, only those may guess who
know and love Japan and are able to picture the contrast between its rich life and
the colorless death of plantation existence in Hawaii. But it was all a part of
this brave knight's loyalty to his Lord
Jesus Christ. Mr. Fukuda saw at a
glance that Christianity's opportunity in
this land with his countrymen lies first
of all with the children, so in his gentle
quiet way —for he is a typical gentleman
of that rare style of courtesy for which
Japan is famous —he began to plan a
school. Lihue has a large quota of
Christian Americans who know a good
thing when they see it, and also how to
make it tell. So they rallied to the support of the evangelist and in due season
a tasteful, clean school-bouse rose modestly in the very center of town opposite
the mill.
Again the call for the exercise of the
knightly quality of bravery came to Mr.
I'ukiida. There was no Hoard money in
sight for a teacher to man the school.
"We can if we will, 1 thought the Japanese- samurai, as he sent a letter to his
comrade oversea in Kyoto. He explained that funds were scarce but work
was plenty, Ile had a few dollars to help
his passage, and he would share his own
meager salary to round out the tiny tuition fees into a semblance of a living
wage. Would his friend come and risk
it for the love of Christ?
He did not reckon without his host,
for Mr. I'chida was sprung from a family whose members for generations had
learned how to do and dare for their feudal lords. He is a second generation
Christian, too, and that counts tremendously. In her struggle to educate him
and his five sisters his mother, long a
widow, had taught him how to endure
hardship for Christ Jesus. The invitation, therefore, to come to Hawaii was
a challenge to his Christian manhood,
and he accepted it.
The two are at work as only such a
team can work. No wonder the school
is overflowing and the little Japanese
boys and girls flcvk about these young
fellows, who are teaching them the
meaning of Cod's love. They are a
practical pair and know that in order to
keep their countrymen from drink anel
gambling of nights, they must furnish
them healthful recreation. Hence, they
are starting a game room, in addition to
their English night school for adults.
'
Hut whence are the games, crokonole and
ping pong, and other indoor means of relaxation to come? To carry two men on
the salary of one plus school fees is puzzle enough. Perhaps the boys and girls of
Honolulu, by sending to the Board
Rooms checkers, chess, lotto, pit, ping
pong sets and the like, will help answer
this question.
When Christmas came these two
workers were taken by surprise. Mother
Rice, Mrs. Isenberg, Mrs. \\. 11. Kicc,
and others helped with gifts of candy,
cake, apples, playthings enough to cover
all seemingly possible needs. So when
the show opened all went merry as a marriage bell until the program had advanced a number or two. Then the little church began to be crowded. Still
they came, taking all the standing room
by storm, swarming about the doors and
windows and tilling a goodly share of the
lot outside. Alas! how feed such a
swarm? Mrs. W. 11. Rice rose grandly
to the emergency. In the home near by
were slill two boxes of apples, a couple
of boxes of cake, nine cases of sola
water, sixty yards of cloth, which Mrs.
Isenberg had sent for a possible emergency in some one of the many Christmas celebrations, a lot of plaything
cups and saucers, and lasl of all ice
water for a cool drink, if the generous
supply should run out. In the rear room
of the church busy workers now gathered, the cloth was torn into pieces large
enough for baby kimonos for the tiny
riders mounted on the mothers' backs,
cake and candy and apples soon were
appropriately wrapped, and when the
program ended all was ready. First the
children were supplied, then the church
was emptied and the mothers filed in with
their pickabacks, only to give place in
turn to the unmarried men. All received
some remembrance and voted the occasion the greatest success the Lihue JapD. S.
anese world had ever known.
A PLEASANT RECEPTION
Mr. F. W. Damon, during his stay on
the coast, is doing an excellent work
among the Chinese students of California, especially among those who were
formerly his students in this institution.
There are many Mills' boys in California
and Mr. Damon has not been slow to
look them up and make them feel that
he is still interested in their welfare. On
December 22nd, Mr. Damon and Mrs.
Mills, of Mills College, received a large
number of Chinese young men at an informal luncheon at the college, and
among the number were many former
students of this school.—Student, Dec,

STRANGE DELAY IN THE DISCOVERY
OF HAWAII
By S. E. Bishop.
The writer proposes to specify and describe a series of peculiar events, all of
which contributed and combined to produce the singular success which attended the introduction of Christianity into
the Hawaiian Islands. Many of these
circumstances were such as were unlikely
to occur. Altogether they were so numerous, and so tended to the accomplishment of one result, that they may well be
rcgareled by Christian believers as constituting a chain of very marked Special
Providences, which were Divinely in
tended to se-cure firmly this important
strategic position as a possession of enlightened Christianity for the furtherance of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus
in this Pacific Hemisphere. It is believed to be profitable and important that
we should distinctly recognize this peculiar course- of Divine Providence-, and
we may begin by noting the peculiar
Providential Delay in the Discovery of
Hawaii.
Hawaii was first made known to the
world through its discovery by the famous explorer, Captain James Cook, who
on his voyage from Bolabola to Alaska,
visited Kauai in January. 1778, and on
his re-turn, first saw the Island of Hawaii
in December of the same year. From
that time forward, the group was frequently visited, and speedily became of
commercial importance. Before 1820, a
considerable trade had become established with China, Mexico, and the north
west coast of America. There was also
a large whaling fleet visiting these- ports.
lii fact, no port () f equal commercial
importance existed in the central or
north-eastern Pacific.
In view Of so rapid a commercial development after discovery, it must be
considered strange that the existence of
so central and
important a group remained unknown until so late a date as
1788. All the other groups inhabited
by the Polynesian race had long been
known to the world. For over 250 years
the Spanish galleons had be>en crossing
the North Pacific annually both ways between Mexico and the Philippines, Hawaii lying in a direct line between the
two countries. Alexander is doubtless
correct in his statement (History, p. 100).
"These islands did not lie in the track
of the Spanish galleons, for on leaving
Acapulco they steered southwesterly so
as to pass far to the south of them, and
on their return voyage they sailed northward till they reached thirty degrees of
latitude, and then ran before the westerly being early wrecked by Spanish tyranny

TEMPERANCE
ISSUES
EDITED BY REV W. D. WESTERVELT
There is in Honolulu a Japanese bamboo drinking cup which teaches an excellent temperance- lesson. It was made
as a "sake" cup, and was used in drinking the Japanese wine called "sake." It
is inscribed or carved with three mottoes: "The man drinks the sake;" "The
sake drinks the sake ; The sake drinks
the man." The three steps, indicating the
development of appetite, are very clearly
defined, (i) The man drinks, feeling
that he has full control over the wine cup.
(2) He drinks because the created appetite makes more wine enjoyable. (3)
The appetite takes control of the man
and his property, and drinks up mind,
money and home.
It is a strange fact that those handling
intoxicating drinks understand thoroughly the serious results, and yet play with
Ihe evil. In Denver, Colorado, one saloon carried the sign of the snake, and
offered its patrons whiskey as "rattlesnake poison." Another saloon at one
time placed in its windows an exceedingly touching picture of a drunkard's
child. In Leadville, Colorado, one of the
saloons was known as "The Little
Church." Another had a large family
Hible, helel open by a dagger, and so
placed on a shelf back of the bar, that all
customers could easily see red marked

wisely decided to fall back upon the provisions of the Organic Act, which, Section 54, provides for just such an emergency as the present, declaring that i
�case the Legislature fail to provide an
appropriation measure, the treasurer
might make such payments as were necessary, and "the sums appropriated in
the last appropriation bills shall be deemed to have been reappropriated." It
seems from the statement of the Auditor
that we shall have no trouble in meeting
the running expenses of the government
in this way, and it is most earnestly
hoped that the Governor will not deem
it best to call together again our expensive and not over-conscientious Legislature. On all sides we hear expressions
of entire satisfaction that the County
Act has been killed. The Governor and
the one-time officers seem to be the only
mourners. That the latter should be
such is to be expected, but that the Governor should so have become infatuated
with the County idea seems hard to understand. We elo not believe that any
deep analysis of the needs of the country
or any weighty reasoning has given him
this passion for the new form of administration, and we trust that a sober second thought will convince him that the
present form of government is nearly
enough controlled by the voters, and
that there is no need further to inflict the
community with elective offices designed
only to be filled with men utterly unfit
to govern.
As to the effort on foot to obtain
county legislation through Congress, one
of two things will surely happen : —either
Congress will refuse tobe bothered longer
by her new possessions running cons.antly to her with their troubles, or we shall
have an act as iron clad and as inflexible
as the Organic Act itself. We may well
congratulate ourselves if it does not likewise prove absolutely unfit and unsuited

It is poky work going about in the dim

where Miss G. and her brother reside
part of the time, is a beautiful inland
city, and she has many acquaintances
there. She mentioned that Rev. J. A.
Cruzan had lately been settled over a
church in Great Palls. She also gave an
account of a visit of Indians, thus: "I
had quite a treat the other day at Great
balls. A wandering band of Indians,
pari of them C'ree and part Chippewa,
camped about six miles out of the city,
and advertised a great war dance." One
exhibition she thus describes: "The wonderful feather, horn and weasel-tail ornaments they wore, were remarkable. Their
dance was a foolish kind of a slow shuffle around the group of musicians. The
oldest chief, as he- came around to the
west, would bow very low to the sun, but
there was no other indication that it was
a Sun dance. This old man had two sons
with him who had been in the Indian
School at Carlisle, Pa., and they did not

AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Of course we are speaking of the "Brigade"'
when we speak of Boys'
work,—also it will be noted, that the
Boys' Field is that once called the Hoys'
Brigade. It suits our fancy not to bring
tlie Brigade idea so much to the front at
present; you don't mind, do you? The
main thing is to get hold of the boy. Tlie
field is doing just that, too. The man
will do more. But concerning the field:
The track is under way, grass covers
the entire inside of the oval, outside,
too, for that matter. There is almost
too much grass, enough to sell, in fact.
The big opening Field Day has been announced for the 18th of March, and a
most efficient committee has the matter
in charge. Mr. Allan Dunn, the chairman, is an old hand at this sort of thing,
and with him are Mr. Livingstone of
Kamehameha, Mr. Babbitt, Mr. Anderson of Punahou, Mr. Young of the Y.
M. C. A., and Lieutenant Newton of
Camp McKinley. While public interest
will center largely around this first
championship event, some will find the
boys' meet (which will immediately follow) the most interesting. It will be
cruder, no doubt, but will be just as
fiercely contested. First, there will be
events for the Juniors, boys from 9 to 13
years of age. The Seniors will be boys
from 12 to 18, and will come from the
same localities.
They are picking up
their local "yell" and have club colors.
Messrs. Wells, Logan and Rider will get
something out of this besides mere athletics, though that alone is considerable
and worthy of the effort.
Now as to the man. Mr. le-nry Martin

ORIENTAL WORK.
By Rev. E. W. Thwing.
The opportunity for effective work
among the Oriental people in Hawaii is
great. The needs of the work are many.
The Territory of Hawaii, as the outpost
of the United States in the Pacific, is
the point where contact with the people
of China, Japan, and Korea, can be made
of the greatest advantage. It is here, in
these Pacific islands, that the men from
these Eastern nations first meet with the
Christianity, enlightenment, and progress of American life and civilization.
It is here that Christian schools and
colleges and universities, might well be
established for the education and training of these men who come to us looking for a better life, and higher possibilities than can be at present secureel in
their own land. As Western nations
have received the priceless heritage of
Christian enlightenment from the East,
it is now a duty to pass it on to these
Eastern lands again. In the providence
of God, large numbers of these people
have come to our shores. Shall we neglect them or look with indifference at
these present opportunities? Surely, no!
What is the present condition as to these
people ?

the brightness of these Islands to their
home land. There arc now 1,500 young
Chinese students in our schools, and
many of them arc among the brightest
scholars we have. The Chinese paid in
one year (1901) taxes to the amount of
$1 15,546.00, so that they are helping to
pay for the expense of the government
schools. The Chinese are now more and
more looking for and realizing the value
of a Western education. The Emperor
of China has well said of his people:
"We do not lack cither men of intellect
or brilliant talents, callable of learning
and doing anything they please, but their
movements have hitherto been hampered
to China, taking, it
by old prejudices."
The younger students of China are realizing these hampering prejudices and
are feeling the need of larger opportunities than they can secure at present in
China. Hawaii is the place where these
young men might come to Study, and be
prepared for the work of building up a
new China. They are looking to us for

Work on the proposed new building

funds. This worthy object has the backing of many of our Island people, but
the present financial depression has hindered the work from progressing. Subscriptions come in occasionally, however,
anel it is much to be hoped that this
much-needed improvement may soon be
carried out.
A new element has lately come into

with a larger and more powerful lens
discovers stars and nebulae beyond his
previous range of vision, so we, as we
stand on the threshold of a new year,
discern new questions looming up before us.
What will the new year bring?
What in the way of peace or war? Will
1904 be the fateful year in which the
war clouds that have gathered at times
in the past over the world's storm centers break and the nations be
plunged into continental war? We
hold our breath at the thought of the
possibility and offer up a prayer that
instead it may be the year in which the
nations shall agree that war shall be
no more and that international differences shall he settled at a more equitable and honorable tribunal.
What will the new year bring in the
religious world? Will the great revival that some people expect is to
come appear within the next twelve
months? The time seems ripe, if the
church of Christ is ready to come out
from the world, we may look for it.
There seems to be much difference of
opinion and some confusion of mind as
to what its nature will be. Will it,
when it comes, be a revival of "social
righteousness," as some predict, or a
revival in which individual responsibility shall first be pressed, and recognized? We shall do well to remember that individual righteousness must
always be the basis of social righteousness, and hence the appeal in the
coming revival must be to the individual to make himself right with
God before he can accomplish anything
for humanity.
In the United States much may
happen. A President will be elected.
Inquiries into the nature of great combinations of capital and the relations
of labor thereto, are likely to continue
and bring the time a little nearer when
there shall be a juster division of the
products of human industry. The

The Hawaiians were receptive. They
heartily received and obeyed the Gospel preached to them. In eighteen
years the Truth had penetrated their
minds, the Holy Spirit descended in
great power upon the churches already
gathered, and the people poured in in
hundreds and thousands of ardent converts. A new nation was born in a

difficult problems which you are called
upon to face—problems in some respects unlike those of any other land
or "territory." Your remarkable illustrated number, with its pictorial and
graphic representations of the various
stages of the progress of the islands,
was read by many of us with the greatest interest, and one of our latest comers,
an accomplished lady doctor who visited
your port on her way thither last year,
told the story through an interpreter to
our Pang Chuang school-girls, as I have
occasionally tried to do to the boys and
others. I recollect that Mr. Charles
Nordhoff, in his interesting book on
your group, justly praised the people for
their open-handed hospitality, for their
benevolence, their enterprise and many
other virtues, remarking that "they have
not frittered away their minds by reading contradictory telegrams." I have
wondered within the past few months
whether the American-Hawaiian mind
has sensibly deteriorated. Put there is
something in the feeling that one's life
anastomoses even in a small and humble
way with that of all creation. Why.
even in our humble hamlet, which was
never heard of before a mission station
was set up there, we have a mail route
with visits of imperial couriers nine
times a month, and a threat—now become a fact —of having a "postal agency." Then the temptation to indulge in
the demoralizing and insidious daily paper grows practically irresistible, and
the first thing we know we are "in the
swim," although not able to keep up
with the current.
Besides all this there are little stakes
and flags, and the like phenomena, not
far to the cast of us, denoting the prospective presence of the Tientsin-Chinkiang railway to he built by the Germans,
who seem to have a mortgage on Shantung, and the British, who claim the
Yang-tzu Valley.
The nearest station—a water tank station probably—will be only seven miles
distant, and the nearest city station only
twelve or thirteen miles. Already we
have the scream of little steam launches
and tugs on the shallow waters of the
Grand Canal. One of the arsenals formerly situated at Tientsin, captured by
the Japanese at the siege of Tientsin
City, has been removed into Shantung
so as to be safer from the next invasion,
and is on the outskirts of the city just
mentioned. The time has expired within which the Chinese were forbidden to
import arms, and already the foundation
hold civil service examinations. Much
difference of opinion was developed over
this article, but with characteristic
shrewdness the Chinese easily nullified
its intention by appointing the place for
the examination of students from such
cities—Peking, for example—in some
other province, an arrangement with
which foreigners do not care to interfere. There is a formidable array of unknown potentialities raging in Kttang Si
in the remote south, but otherwise the
Empire is reasonably quiet. For many
months Russia and Japan have been
posturing on the north, and no one can
say at what moment notice may be
served on the rest of the powers that the
to
former has definitely "ear-marked" all
the rest of China down to the disputed
Yang-tzu river itself. With the various
sections marked out for different nations, there seems to be small account
taken of the Chinese themselves, but
whatever arrangements foreign powers
may come to, the Chinese will not fail to
be heard from. Mission work seems to
be resuming its old lines with increased
plant, but with no new men—in our
mission, at least—and thus far with diminished means. Shall we not pray to
the Lord of the harvest to send both 'aborcrs and the means to equip them into
great, needy, rudderless, drifting China?

EDITED BY REV W. D. WESTERVELT
The power of the Territory of Hawaii to issue licenses for the sale of
intoxicating liquors is about to be
passed over to the Hoard of Supervisors of each county of the Territory.
Every county will be responsible for
the sale of strong drink within its limits. The citizens of each county have
the responsibility of carefully looking
into the action of their supervisors.
Xow is the time when the personal influence of business men will be worth
something and can be used effectively.

It had been a cherished hope that the
writer on a recent trip to the States
would surely visit Mr. Loomis and possibly call to see the triplets, but time,

Ruggles was the first one who offered
himself for the mission, and the first
of the mission band to set foot on the
Islands, lie was not an ordained minister, but evangelist and teacher. Mr.
and Mrs. Ruggles remained in Hawaii
some fifteen years, returning to the
United States in 1834. They expected,
after a furlough, to return to the land
of their choice. But on account of
Mrs. Ruggles' health they were not
able to do so, ami the rest of their lives
was passed in Brookfield, Ct., and in
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, where they
both died. Six children were born to
them, five of whom were bom in Hawaii.
Mrs. Frances L. Loomis, the
grandmother of the triplets, whose picture is in the group, was the eldest
daughter of Sarah T. Ruggles, who was
born on the Island of Kauai, December 22, 1820, and died December 23,
1899, in Wisconsin. Sarah Ruggles was
twice married, her first husband being

NOTICES OF BOOKS
THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL
This popular and useful handbook
of information concerning the Hawaiian Islands, and more commonly
known as "Thrum's Annual," has
again made its yearly appearance; and
in this issue celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. In keeping with its character and the progress of the Islands, it
is fuller and more complete than ever,
and is indispensible to anyone who
wants to have at hand, in a convenient
form, a summary of the most important statistics and facts pertaining to
them. The first part of the book is as
formerly, devoted to statistics. Here
are found figures concerning interisland distances, the heights of mountains, rainfall, population, school statistics, commerce,
sugar
plantations
and many other matters, given in a
clear and condensed form and easy of
consultation. The body of the volume deals with subjects of special
value to those who are interested in
Hawaiian life and affairs. There are

GOLDIE'S INHERITANCE
This is a book which will be oi UV
terest to many readers of The Friend
on account of their acquaintance with
the author, as well as tor the story itself. The writer is Mrs. Louisa M.
\\ liitney, who. with her husband, Rev.
Joel
l\ Whitney,
was a missionary
for a number of years in the Marshall
I-hrnds, and who will be remembered
especially by many of our older Honolulu people.
The book is a story of the siege of
Atlanta. Of it the author says in the
preface, "Into this story are woven
many sacred memories.
If the thread
of the story is tieton, it yet consists
mainly of facts, nearly all the import
ant incidents being taken from real
life." It is thoroughly interesting especially in the lasl half, as showing the
feelings and experience-, of northern
people who lived in the south during
that period of intense sectional feeling.
As would he natural under the circumstances, these experiences 'nave their
lights and shadows, sufferings and triumphs, but on the whole a happy end-

FIELD NOTES
ALEXANDER HOUSE, WAILUKU,
MAUI
By Miss E. A.
Babb, Worker in Charge
On the evening of the 28th of Nov.
a sale of fancy articles was held in the
Settlement building. The small number present was not encouraging after
the great expenditure of time for making the numerous articles and arranging the attractive booths, where handkerchiefs, collars, lauhala work, pyrography, children's dresses, pictures, etc.,
were displayed. A part of the articles
on sale were made by the girls of the
sewing classes, and they had hoped to
reali/.e some benefit personally for
their labor. However, including the
profits of additional sales, about $75
has been cleared. A musical programme was rendered by those who
kindly gave their services, and the iced
drinks were donated by Mr. Wadsworth of the Maui Soda Works.
A handsome piece of pyrography and
a beautiful oil painting, gifts of the artists, Mrs. Decoto and Miss Homer,
are now put on sale in Honolulu, with
the hope that some whose eyes they
may attract by their intrinsic value
will gladly give the needed aid to Alexander House by their purchase. Information concerning them may be obtained from Mrs. Brown of the Y. W.
C. A.
A number of people, chiefly friends
of Miss Malone and through her instrumentality, have recently sent us
gifts—fancy articles, ribbons, pictures
and checks. Sewing materials from
Mr. Dußoi and Mr. Sachs are gratefully acknowledged. Miss Gay and myself are constantly mindful of the great
help the Settlement has received in the
past, and is still receiving, from several private sources, both in the Islands
and in the States, and feel that a repetition of our appreciation is not out
of place. I, personally, feel as deep a
debt of gratitude to my predecessor,
Miss Huntington, whose work was so
that her name is
daily mentioned by the children and
strong and loving
parents.
An interesting mothers' meeting was
held not long ago in the Kindergarten.
Classes and good times have been enjoyed as usual in the club rooms. An
effort is in embryo to start a Good Citizenship Club, to be conducted by com
pctent men of the locality.
Christmas time, with its good cheer,
has already come, the celebrations being held at the close of the term. (>n
Friday evening, Dec. IH, an audience
larger than could be accommodated in
the seating space, listened eagerly to
the songs and exercises of the dear little mites of the Kindergarten. The
concert was followed by a Christmas
tree in the reading room. A beautiful
coffee tree, with red berries still intact,
had been presented by Mr. Cornwell,
and was decorated with tinsel, candles
and gifts. Miss Day and her assistants
had made very pretty scrap-books for
the girls, and the hearts of the boys
were delighted with jingling reins.
Each member of the Kindergarten
received an orange from Santa Clans'
pack—(the gift of a real, live Santa
Clans in Lahaina) —and a bag of candy
and popcorn from the tree. The little
fingers had been busy these many days
sewing the bright colored candy hags
and making raphia baskets and picture
frames and card-board baskets for their
proud parents.
The tree was used the following
evening for the presents for the girls
of the sewing classes and the men and
boys of the evening school. Rulers,
tablets, pencils, notebooks and pictures
were presented,—each member receiving one gift besides a bag of candy. If
the doners of candy, Messrs. Wichman,
Kirkland, Hoke and Silva, could have
seen the enjoyment with which all our
children munched their sweets, they
would have felt well repaid.
There were one hundred and seventeen present Saturday evening, most of
them being members of one or more
classes. It was with great pleasure
that they received three games, sent as
a Christmas gift for Alexander House
from a little student of mine back in
the Old Hay State, and heard me read
the announcement of a year's subscription to the "Woman's Journal," from
that same boy's mother, the "Youth's
Companion" from Mr. and Mrs. Case,
and the "American Roy" and some
games from the Sunday-school class of
a cousin in Boston. Marching and
songs completed the good time.
After the holidays work will be resumed, Jan. 4, 1904.
CHINESE NOTES
By Rev. E. W. Thwing
Hawaii
The Chinese of Kohala are busy
painting their church, and arc doing it
well, both inside and out, at a cost of
$2fio. They have raised $100 among
themselves, the Board has given !?i<x>,
and other friends have made up the.
balance. They hope to have the workcompleted by Christmas.
.
At all the mission stations the workers arc busy making ready for a happy
Christmas. Mrs. Walsh of llilo writes
that her school children are to enjoy a
regular snow storm, the "snow macine" has arrived, and the children
will have a good treat.
Maui
At Wailttku the work is encouraging at present. At our last communion service the church was full. Four
united on confession of faith. The
Japanese also joined with us ill a union
meeting at the Chinese church, and
later invited the Chinese to meet with
them at their church.
A Christmas box has just been sent
for the Chinese children of Kula, who
arc looking forward to a good time on
Christmas. At liana, Maui, the superintendent, during a recent trip, had
meetings with Chinese, Japanese and
Hawaiians. On Maui also, as well as
on Hawaii and Oahu, the Korean laborers are needing our attention.
Fort St. Church, Honolulu
The services are held regularly and
are well attended. A number are expecting to join on confession of faith
the first of the new year.
A letter was received not long ago
from Mr. Nelson of Canton, telling of
the work of the Sunday-school missionary, Mr. Leung San Wing, who is
preaching in China. He says:
"The Sunday-school is showing
much interest in raising this money for
the work in the Hcung Shan district.
Others of the church members are
helping the work in this part of China.
Now is the time for a forward movement in China. The people arc ready
and looking for a change. It is our
part to help on the change in the right
way. Dr. Hager, who has been working near the field where our Sundayschool missionary is preaching, also reports a wonderful turning of the people to Western learning and gospel
teaching. Large numbers have come
into the church during the past six

CHINESE
NOTES FROM WAILUKU
By Miss Charlotte L. Turner
.
There was a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese at the Chinese
church, W'ailuku, -Nov. 29th. The services were conducted by Rev. E. \\
Thwing, Rev. C. Tanaka, and Mr.
Teng Ah Ling, the evangelist. Five
were admitted to church fellowship
by profession and received baptism.
There was an attendance of seventy
people. Quite a number of Chinese
women were present. The Communion
service was observed and there was
manifest a true spirit of Christian fellowship.
Miss Turner recently visited in the
Chinese homes at I'aia and Makawao.
She received a cordial welcome and
many children were made happy by
the distribution of picture leaflets.
Home visitation among the various nationalities in our midst forms a most
interesting and very important part of
the work.
Evening classes of Chinese and Japanese for the study of English, still
continue to be well attended and a
growing interest is manifest.
Christmas exercises were held at the
Chinese church on the evening of Dec.
17th. A large number of the parents
and friends of the Chinese Mission
School were present. The entertainment consisted of singing and recitations appropriate to the season. The
tree was gaily decorated, and very attractive. All" the children were rilled
with Christmas cheer, and enthusiasm.
Through the kindness of Mr. C. B.
Wells in rendering financial aid, and
Mr. Aheong by a contribution of candy
and delicious oranges, and other substantial aid from Mrs. W. Y. Homer
and family of Lahaina, it has been possible to pass a very delightful Christmas festival.
The Chinese Mission expresses sincere gratitude for all, with wishes for
a Happy New Year to all.
