Indeed, re seemed to be a greater number fifts than usual given to those whom tine had not favored. There has never been such a chance to get excellent bibles at the prices now offered at the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms. Holiday gifts? Oh, yes; but bibles are eminently useful all the year around. What went to In the Kalaupapa from money first came place, from people to the the Hawaiian eleven amount of $62,—not Board Rooms very much to be sure, but ample for the needs. It must be understood that not all the people at the settlement were provided for, but only those connected with the churches. However, over 350 presents were sent and of a kind that will please, we feel sure. Of course, there were hags of candy, but in addition there was material to trim a fine tree with and it was hoped and expected that there would be suitable exercises of a real Christmas character. There were tops and marbles, done up in separate packages, beads for the girls and ribbons galore—all cut up though, so that one girl might not get the whole package and all the rest go ribbonless. Baseballs were there for the boys, and gloves—the recollection comes with something of a shock—that the grown-.

But as the astronomer so our faith shall not fail? 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.

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 day. The great revolution was effectively accomplished. Set right toward (iod and His Law, the people eagerly and ardently sought together for all higher and better things, socially and politically. And another decade saw the Hawaiians standing on their feet as a Civilized Nation, because first Christianized. What is our lesson from this? Is it Hot ottr perpetual and enduring lesson for all effective reform and uplifting in all strata of society, that the first and essential thing to be done is to set the individual man straight with God and Eternity? Before all else, the spiritual nature of the man is to be awakened, the blind eye to be opened and the deaf ear to be unstopped, the evil and Wayward heart to be turned to the choice of good in the fear of 'iod, and the faith of his salvation.

In September, Mr. Delaporte speaks of the landing of the German Governor, Mr. Brandeis, and family, whose headquarters is at Jalnit, Marshall Islands, and of the welcome and torchlight parade given him on his arrival. A Mr. Geppart also arrived, who takes the place of Mr. Kaiser, the local magistrate, who is granted a year's furlough. Our friends much enjoyed the social intercourse which the visit of the Governor and his cultivated family afforded them. Speaking of their work for the people, Mr. D. says: The Lord is with us. and our work is prosContributions in July were the highest we have ever received. Of course, our work cannot be judged by the amount of contributions, as they vary, depending entirely upon the size of the cocoanut harvest.

Mrs. Gulick also received an interesting letter from Mrs. Delaporte. enclosing a photograph of their second child, Paul Godfrey, and mentioning the advent of their third, a little girl, born August eleventh. August 2()th, Mr. Delaporte writes Gulick : to Mr. sent to us: we have been very busy with it ever since. Mr. Delaporte worked on it many nights up to 2 o'clock in the morning, in order to get two books ready. He hopes to publish both Kpistlcs to the Corinthians as soon as he can get supplies from Sydney. The people arc so happy to get these books. I am glad that I can still write a good report Under date of September 30th Mr. Delaporte continues: THE WEEK OF PRAYER The following is the list of topics for the coming week of prayer, as suggested by the Evangelical Alliance: Sunday, January 3, 1904.—Sermons The Kingdom of (iod:—and the condition of its Triumphant Advance.

Last Sabbath we had another Baptismal service and the Lord was with us indeed. We were permitted to baptize and admit to fellowship 38 adults, and in addition to these we baptized 20 small children of members.

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? Arthur H. Smith. TEMPIRANC SSUES EDITED BY REV W. D.

Nor will there be any recourse to the Territory, for its credit has not been pledged, it has incurred no moral or financial responsibility. We must, however, have a government, and that government must be stable and strong; we cannot stop the pumps of our water works, we cannot dismiss our courts nor withdraw the protection of our police force. It is with these difficult problems that the governor, and many of Hawaii's best men, have been wrestling for months. Mr. Hatch, one of our most influential, capable and trustworthy members of the bar, has been dispatched by private parties and with the co-operation of the governor, to seek relief at Washington. His mission has been unsuccessful in this, that he has not been able to obtain a hearing for his measure at the special session of Congress.

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.

They are a funny sight, and Louise writes that she has had more time for reading this summer than for some time." In Mrs. Loomis' last letter, Nov. 21, 1903, she writes: "My Annual Report of the H.

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 Islands. . articles on the completion of the Pacific cable; The Internal Commerce of Hawaii; Diversified Industries The Streets of J lonolulu in the Karly Forties, by Hon. Gorham I). GUman; Ha waiian Birds, an article concluded from the last number, by Prof. 11. \\ llenshaw; Hawaiian liurial Caves, by Rev. \\. D. Westervelt; The Rock Carvings of Hawaii, by A.!•'. ludd; A Retrospect for [903, with a number of shorter articles of a more popular nature,—all of which are interesting and valuable. Following these are the list of postmasters, and other facts relating to the postal service: The Court Calendar; A Reference List of the Principal Articles which have appeared in the former numbers of the An- : nual ; The Territorial Register and Directory for 11)04; lists of Federal and County Officials, and closing with an index to the whole. 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- The book is a painstaking compilation of facts and information of the greatest value, and reflects credit >.n its author. It amply sustains its former reputation, and is the best publi- ing. cation in existence to put into the The book will be sent postpaid on hands of anyone who wishes to know receipt of the price, one dollar, by Rev. the present status of the Hawaiian J.

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.

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.

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. "His works do follow him." "The Board is rich." Not at —for answer, Impression look at all, Treasurer's the statement. "But how about the recent Atherton gift ?" This endowment merely perpetuate! Mr. Atherton's quarterly payments, which the Treasurer has drawn since Mr. Atherton's death up to the present time. The bequest was extremely welcome, but nothing new in the way of income. The"de mortuis nil nisi bonum" rule applies only to persons. We might speak "other than good" of the dead county act, but we don't want to. This much, however, concerning the administration we have just escaped in the Oahu County,—we feel at 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 ? At the best that may be said of the liquor business, we only tolerate it. Put in power,—put it at the head of our County! (S) Hocking! A Narrow Escape modern appliances. At any rate, the reported naive admission of a veteran hotel man is astonishing. From the knowledge we have of Mr. Alexander Young, we foci sure that he will be glad to feel that at least the Annex of his hotel is a safe place for children. Home Work The Japanese war cloud having shifted, it is well nigh certain that it will veer around again. Howlongisitanyway, recent discussion concerning "home work" conducted in the Advertiser, more stress seems to have been laid on the amount, rather than the character of the work required. Mr. Thompson of 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 (Continued on A Mistaken War and Labor In the HOTEL BARS AND THE YOUNG fi-H-!- !- H- page 4.) l-H"l"l"l' H"M you know that those The following clipping from the Adyour home which are in games vertiser of late date moves us with some- X T no longer used might help to keep thing like astonishment: "Manager H.

We are not aware of the occasion for the utterance, but we append the following, from the Missionary Herald of December, 1903. that the courteous and graceful intent of the Bishop should be recognized here in the Islands: "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 not only time and strength, but of their means F.lementary Elementary Pedagogy, Psychology or Child Nature Study—all of prepared books are text for which treated in tory, this very purpose and well within the grasp of the average person.

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 �5 THE FRIEND upon a work, which to human view presented most discouraging aspects.

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. Two of the wives are laid in the ground of this land, as was Abraham's wife, Sarah, laid in the parcel of ground that they bought from the residents in that land. Our friend, Rev. Z.

LIVELY LIHUE For that is all you can call the place, 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, '03- �7 THE FRIEND 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 winds till they approached the coast of and the Spanish Inquisition?

I 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 verses warning against the use of wine. These saloons were thronged—the very �THE FRIEND 8 WINE, BEER AND ALE. WINE, BEER AND ALE. blasphemy appealing to a reckless chord in the feelings of the patrons. They S. Hilo.

According to the view of Apr. 23, 1903.—Kohala Club & Transportathe Court, the County Act not only tion Co., Ltd., Kohala. sought to establish a government by Hilo. counties in the Territory, but also entirely to reform and recreate our taxation system; that it was, in fact, a county and a tax act combined, and so interwoven were these two distinct Subjects that it was impossible to separate them, and the entire Act must therefore fall. To the surprise of all, the decision was unanimous. The County Act being voiel, the ole Territorial Government immediately be came active; but we found ourselves in the position of a country with a going government, but no appropriations t meet the expenses thereof. The Governo 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 to our conditions. It is impossible to conceive that Congress will pass an act (even if it has the power to do so, which is doubtful) whicV. will be so constructed as to allow the Territorial Legislature to ani*-:-' 1 or entirely nullify its action. Tlie retrenchment in expenses commenced by the former Supervisors of Oahu County, we trust, will be continued by the present officers. It appears to be the easiest thing in the world for a government to become overloaded with clerks and assistants. There is a peculiar attraction which seems to draw into the government employ all the incompetents of the community, and a "government job" has rightfully come to be a synonym for a position whose most exhaustive occupation is the drawing of a salary. Certainly a casual glance into the Executive Building would lead one to such a belief. This being true, it is a good thing to have an occasional house cleaning. Retrenchment has always to be carried out with considerable care and 9 THE FRIEND thought, but if so conducted, we believe it is, that tourist companies and individthat the result will be as surprising as it uals find themselves balked at the very start by a well nigh prohibitive steamwill be gratifying to the taxpayers. ship fare.

Great Palls, a suburb of Btttte, 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.

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 is the man. lie is acquainted with boys, —had a large club of them in St. Louis, wlu-re- he was Hoys' Secretary tor a long time. Here- is his picture. \Ve wish him success here.

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 CHINESE IN HAWAII MR. HENRY MARTIN. There are at present between twenty and thirty thousand Chinese in the Islands. Over 4,000 are native born. Since 1000 over 6,000 men have returned �13 THE FRIEND is hoped, some of 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 C. J. DAY & CO.

Hawaii is a good meeting ground. Shall we not bid these students of China to come to us, and shall we not be ready to give to them freely, that Christian education which has made us great, and which will be just as truly the up-building of China? JAPANESE WORK. work is, being well carried on by This those who have it in charge, both under the Hawaiian Board and the Methodist church. Other churches arc also doing something to reach these people. There are more than twice as many Ja|xmese in these Islands as there are Chinese, and the work is becoming of first im(M>rtance. Many of the towns and villages of the Islands have almost become Japanese towns. The Buddhists are pushing their work vigorously, a work which rather tends to make the Japanese antagonistic to American life.

Work on the proposed new building for boys has not yet begun, for lack of 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 the school, when several Koreans were admitted. These arc all Christian men and are progressing rapidly. The effect upon the Hawaiian boys in the school of admitting other nationalities has been decidedly stimulating. Meeting anel competing with the very elements then- will come in contact with after their school days are over is having a very beneficial effect in awakening greater effort, with the result of better work along all of the many lines fe>llowed out in the school.

The preiposcd franchise, however, which is now before Congress, violates many principles proven by experience to he essential to the protection of the public interest. As we unelerstanel the measure, it turns over the streets of Honolulu to the company, permitting the erection of poles ami stringing of wires for thirty-five years. It fixes the rate of 20 cents per kilowatt hour for the same periotl. No restriction is placed upon its capitalization or power of boneling itself. In short, it grants rights to this company wdiich can not In- modified or regulateel eluring the entire period of thirty-five years of its pro]K>seel existence. The practicalh unanimous condemnation the franchise received on the floor of the National House of Representatives, proves that we have not been in this matter as alert in the protection of our interests as a due regarel for the welfare of the pce>ple requires. It is no doubt a fact that the high character of those intcresteel in the company has in a measure disarmed criticism. At the same time, such considerations have no place in the elrafting of iron-clael charters for corporations whose personnel may raelically change in a few years. We have hael a tramway and a telephone company to ileal with. Experience, therefore, plainly points out the necessity of reserving the right to the government to regulate, in an equitable manner, both the nature of the service rentlereel and the rates exacteel therefor. T R. Sympathy with Japan "Why shoulel Christian America sympathize with heathen Japan rather than Christian Russia?" This is the pregnant question put to the people of our country by a leaeling citizen of the Czar's empire. It is very pertinent to us who live in Hawaii side by side with between sixty and seventy thousanel Japanese. Two lines of reply may be urgeel. The first one ignores the aeljectives anil drops the invidious distinctions "Christian and heathen." That widespread sympathy with Japan does exist among Americans needs no proof. Its explanation is found basically in the chivalric sitling with the smaller combatant. No knightly soul, heholding the apparently uneqal contest between a nation of 45 millions and one of 120 millions, can fail to cheer for the Back of this plucky featherweight. lies the financial consideration. Rus- sian triumph means the practical closing of Asia to American, not to say world, commerce. China and Japan are just enuring upon their career of larger demands and the life of civilization with its incessant and ever-increasing needs is beginning to course in their veins. The supremacy of the Czar will freeze this life flood into stagnancy. What Russian ideals produce may he seen throughout that country of boundless resources, where millions are half starving and other myriads living more like beasts than men. Japan's victory means the open door in Asia, progress everywhere along the western shores of the Pacific, and a commerce on this ocean of the future undreamed of yet in the world's Nobler still is the sympathy history. born of liberty, the inevitable war of mutual extermination which subsists between the absolutist and the democrat. This was clearly stated years ago to the then United States Minister, Hon. A. D. White, by the whilom dictator of Russia, Pobiedonosteff, and subsequently ported by Mr. White in a magazine article. The Russian Minister of State outlined the two irreconcilable theories of government held by Russia on the one hand and Great Britain and the United States on the other. He foresaw the coming battle between them, and believed that Russia must prevail because human welfare could be guaranteed only by the triumph of "the rule of the wise." By a singular turn of the wheel of fortune, Japan and neither of the Anglo-Saxon Powers has become the protagonist of the forces of progress. If Russia wins, there must some time in the future be one more vast war for liberty. If victory rests with her antagonist, then constitutional government will cross the Japan and Yellow seas to the Asian continent, and the Empire of the Czar itself, unable to withstand the moral shock of defeat, may disintegrate through revolution into a federation of free states. The real peril of the world today is not "Yellow" in color; it is the white with the blue crossed bars of the Czar's war banner. Instinctively every American feels that Japan is fighting his battle, and not merely her own. Nay, it is the battle of every son of man, Russian as well as Chinese, Finn and Pole as well as Japanese and Anglo Saxon. Why heathen? Now put back the adjectives. What constitutes a "Christian," what a "heathen ?" The answer of this age, coming quick and true, "character, not profession," holds equally well of the nation anel the individual. Contrast Russia's sanels of inoffensive, unarmed Chinese peasants on the Amur river some three years ago, with Japan's wide-open hospitals, where wounded Chinese soleliers lay side by side with wounded Japanese, cared for with equal tenderness by the Empire's ablest physicians and most experienced trained nurses. Which was following Christ most nearly? Place side by side the persistent extermination in Russia of all Christian sects that dare to differ with the Greek church, and the faithful execution in Japan of the constitutional provision guaranteeing freedom of religious belief. Which is the heathen here ? Compare the unspeakable horrors of condemnation to penal servituele through administrative process under the Czar's government, with the legal guarantees of fair trial which safeguanl the citizen chargeel with violation of law where the Mikado rules. Which deserves the adjective Christian? Japan may not count her members of Christian churches by the million, but her ideals of government and ofcitizenship are immeasureably nearer the standarels of the Cross than those of Russia. We may not call her Christian, as we dare not ideally apply this name to any nation, but measured by her opportunities who shall call this splendid world-power any the less Christian, or any the more heathen, than such long-favored nations as Great Britain and the United States ? Because we have more right to couple this noble adjective, Christian, with Japan than with Russia, the Christian heart of America sympathizes with her in her brave, unselfish struggle, in which we also firmly believe she will come off victorious. honor the Day Loyal American citizens, brought up under the influence of the Stars anel Stripes, must confess to a feeling of pained surprise at the sight of the many open places of business in Honolulu on Washington's birthday. This holiday is becoming more anel more sacredly associated in the minds of the people of the United States with the conception of ideal citizenship, and it seems little less than desecration to throw open business houses and compel employees to work on the 22nd of February, except in cases of public necessity. This is especially true in a Territory like Hawaii, where the task of • preparing young Hawaiians, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Porto Ricans and possibly Koreans, for taking their places as voters in the Union of the future is upon us. Every national holiday should be celebrated here with no less devotion than characterizes the observance of such religious occasions as Sunday and Christmas. Patriotism is a �5 THE FRIEND vital part of true religion, and to venerate our national heroes on the two significant occasions—Washington's Birthday or the Ideal Citizens' Day and Memorial or All Patriots' Day—set apart therefor by the laws of all but a few of our States, is so sacred a duty that mere to see either violateel through sordid considerations brings the blush to the cheek and shame to the heart of the real lover of his country. Up to date Phenti Thk fine service Congress is rendering this Territory in the matter of the electric light franchise makes every user of the telephone on Oahu wish that our National law makers might break up the monopoly held by the local telephone company. If the shady side of the story of the defeat of the attempt to secure from our last Legislature the franchise for an up-to-date, efficient telephone system could only be made known in Congress, the hanels of patriotic opposers of the sacrifice of public monopolies to private profit would be correspondingly strengthened. There is no excuse for the wretcheel service which for months has wearied the patience of the people of this Island. If the local company will not make equitable terms with the automatic company—anel rumor has it that they can if they will—a way should be founel to let their rivals enter the Territory. Would that such a way might be secured through Congress. Stop the Tights Is it not time for the elecent people of Honolulu to call a halt in the prize fight nuisance?

Meantime, one- year ago the THE BOARD'S PRESENT POLICY American Boarel withdrew finally, and' the entire conduct of the many-sided work devolved upon the Christians of this to most After months devoted a many careful consideration of all features of its work, the Hawaiian Board has entered upon a twofold policy of coortlination and affiliation, the one Territorial in its scope, the other national. The original work of the American Board in these Islands regarded the Hawaiians alone. Its missionaries founded churches anel consolidated them into four island associations, (i) Hawaii, (2) Maui comprising also Molokai and Lanai (3) Oahu, and (4) Kauai including Niihau. These four combined in the Evangelical Association. The system was complete and has workeel admirably. As the white population grew, it hecame necessary to proviele means of worship for those unacquainted with the native tongue, and thus there slowly came into being the so-called Foreign churches. Composed of English-speaking people in sympathy with the Christian work carried on by the American Mission, the members of these churches were zealous supporters of every effort made to Christianize the native inhabitants. But owing to the barrier of language on the one hand and to their location at points widely separated on the other, these churches of English-speaking people connected themselves organically neither with the native associations nor with one another. Drawing their membership from all denominations, naturally they organized on the union or congregational plan, but ecclesiastically each was absolutely independent, and stooel unrelated to any denomination of Christians. Churches of this character grew up on Hawaii at Hilo, Kohala, and Kona (now temporarily quiescent), on Maui at Paia, and Wailuku (services intermitted for a season), on Oahu at Honolulu, anel on Kauai at Lihue and Waimea. Some of these have to this day not even been organized as churches. Meantime, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese began to immigrate hither, and Christian work was promptly pushed among the newcomers. Much of it was conducted through the Hawaiian Board, with the generous co-operation of the American Board. The resulting churches were in some instances brought into a quasi-connection with the Evangelical Association, but the bond was so frail as Territory. Now as long as the Islands maintained their independence anil money was plentiful enough to create no demand for the economies and the esprit dc corps of consolielation, the anomaly of the conelition outlined was not forced into prominence. But with the- entrance of 1 lawaii into the L'nion, anil shortly thereafter with the diminished support incident to the decease of several generous contributors and to the general financial depression, the weak spots made themselves known. Other denominations, hacked by great national organizations, having previously entered the field, began to offer by their compactness, a strong contrast to our disjointed negation of system, while their ability to tiele over a season of local business depression by calling upon their fellow Christians on the mainland mocked our financial loneliness. The sound maxim for all time, "In union is strength." which has become the basal social truth in this century of combination, has been brought home with startling power to the Hoard and its frienels. We realize that unless these elisassociated churches, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and English-speaking, get together anel pool their issues, they are doomed. God has no use anywhere in His universe for the weakness of disunion. The Board, therefore, has called its constituency everywhere upon throughout these Lslanels to close ranks and march together. It is very gratifying to be able to state that the response has been unanimous and enthusiastic beyond expectation. The coordination requested by the Board demands as its initial step, that all our churches connect themselves respectively with the Islanel Associations and begin to pull together, regardless of race. In this way common interests will be rece>gnized, and acknowledged, common burdens will be borne by all, progress will be made towards a more genera) use of the English language, and, without the sacrifice of an atom of essential independence, the gradual development of a vital organism will be effected. Next month The Friend will tell how the experiment begins to work in Hawaii, where the churches of all nationalities are �6 to meet on a common ground at the spring session of the local Island Association. Already a kindling spirit anel its child, increased financial support, have marked the beginning of getting together. Affiliation means extending this process across the ocean and getting into touch with our fellow Christians of the United States. The financial stress here has made this absolutely necessary. Already the Boarel has been compelled to sacrifice two of its most honored missionaries, and during the past two years has cut its budget clown by over $15,000, a reduction of more than .33 1-3 per cent. Notwithstaneling these heroic measures it is today something more than $9,000 in debt, and the deficiency has increaseel the past ten months by a little over $2,100 a month. Although our treasurer believes that expecteel receipts later on will modify these fatal figures, there can be but one enel to this process, anel the disaster of serious disruption of our work is close upon us. Foreseeing this, the Board last fall entered into communication with the Home Missionary Society and the American Missionary Association, with a view both to its affiliation with these organizations and to their co-operation in its various enterprises. No elefinite reply has yet been received. It is hoped that the Home Missionary Soviety will assist in the conduct of work done through the medium of the English language, and that the American Missionary Association will unite with us in the maintenance of the Chinese and Japanese departments. It is not merely the financial help that is desired. The Boarel and the churches which support it or are maintained byit feel the need of larger sympathy. We must be a part of some world-wide organization, share the prayers and own the sympathy of our fellow Christians all over the United States and in other nations as well. Through the American Board this was formerly ours. With close affiliation to the great societies of the mainland, we shall have it again in still larger abundance. In addition to seeking connection with the two societies named above, the Board has asked the American Board to take over the mission on Pleasant Island manned by Rev. and Mrs. Delaporte, an:! has carrieel out the resolution of the Evangelical Association by voting to transact its foreign missionary workthrough this society. It has also requested the Education Society to co-operate in training men for the ministry by asking aid for one very promising young man. Conscious of the sacred responsibility •ntrusted to it by the Christians pf Artier- THE FRIEND, ica in inaugurating and maintaining for more than 80 years one of the most successful missionary enterprises known to history, the Boarel means to be true to the trust. In the present emergency it has been calleel upon to face the fact that Hawaii is an integral part of the American Union, that its problems are no longer local, that the whole nation is vitally interested in maintaining Christian civilization out here in the mid-Pacific, and that this cannot be done without the cooperation of a Christian organization coextensive with the Uniteel States. We have now done our part. Will our fellow Christians of the mainland do theirs? We have no hesitancy in believing that D S. they will. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII By S. E. Bishop. 2. The Consolidation by Kamehameha. of Government Our last number pointed out the great advantage to the Gospel conquest of Hawaii in the singular delay in the discovery of this group. Next in order, we must be impressed by the immense advantage secured by the complete suppression of the disorders of war, anel the thorough establishment of orderly government in Hawaii, by the great conqueror, Kamehameha. Long prior to the Discovery, in 1778. and for twenty years after, the disturbances and ravages of internecine wars in Hawaii constituted a destructive condition, which, if continued, would have been most untoward for the propagation of the Gospel among them. Moral, mental, anel social culture require public order and peace, as much as garden anel grain crops require fencing and shelter. The inroads of murderous hordes of warriors must be as fatal to all such culture and progress as the trampling of a herH of buffaloes would be to prairie farming or of swine to a vegetable garden. The wonderfully rapid growth of Christian faith and education, which in twentyyears transformed the Hawaiian nation would have proved impossible under the warlike conditions which prevailed before Kamehameha's conquest. An illustration of such impediments is lotable in the long-delaveel progress, forty years later, in Christianizing the Gilbert Islands, where the people were frequently at war, and cruel invasions irose between the islands. Little thorough or efficient progress was accom- plished until the strong hand of Great Britain enforced order an# law. Just so it was the powerful grasp of Kamehameha which reduced the whole Hawaiian people into quiet anel orderly subjection. In view of the propitious order anil peace which for twenty years before the arrival of Christianity in Hawaii, had under Kamehameha succeeded ages of warfare, we seem justly to recognize in him a remarkable instrument of God's Providence raiseel up to "prepare the way of the Lord, anel make His paths straight." It seems as truly so as when Cyrus was raised up to deliver Israel from Babylon, or Caesar to reduce the worlel into peace for the coming of the Christ. Not long after the discovery of Hawaii, in 1788, Kalaniopuu elieel. After much warfare Kamehameha became the most powerful of the chiefs of the great island. But violent and elestructivc wars ensueel from 1782 to 1791, before he became master of the whole of that island on the eleath of Keoua, the king of Kau. Although that event was accomplished by treachery, it secureel the first consolielation of government on the island. Three more years, however, followed of violent warfare with Kahekili, the king of Maui, after whose death, in 1794, Kamehameha ravaged and subdued Maui and Molokai, with the aid of guns and powder handled by the skill of his white lieutenants, John Young and Isaac Davis. Meanwdiile, the benevolent explorer, Vancouver, had vainly sought to mediate between the warring chieftains and negotiate lasting peace. Kamehameha was firmly determined on complete conquest of the group. In 1795, Kamehameha seizeel a most favorable opportunity anel invaded Oahu. The battle of Nuuanu Valley completed the conquest of the group, the king of Kauai tendering submission. This final conquest of Oahu owed much to a favorable juncture, due to the brutish folly of the king, Kalanikupule, which disarmed his forces at the critical time. But still more was due to the martial vigor and skill of Kamehameha, wdio used to the best advantage the guns anel poweler of the foreigners, and pursued a determined line of policy with a steadfast purpose. And Kamehameha was not only a victorious warrior; he was also a wise and efficient statesman. He die! not merely heat clown and destroy the enemies of his supremacy in the group: he also established and consolidateel a high degree of quiet and wholesome order. While despotic, he proved in the main a wise �7 THE FRIEND he suppressed violence, murder and brigandage. He encouraged labor, and improvements of roads, watercourses and fishponds. The people lived in peace, and enjoyed much of the fruit of their labors. Trade flourished. Foreigners were protected and resideel in Hawaii in security. It was a marked indication of this king's superior nature that he accepted the aelvice, and even reproofs, of such whiteassistants as Young, Davis and Parker, and that they were content to spend their lives in his service. Thus a completely strong and healthycondition of public affairs had been maluring for twenty years before death ended this remarkable reign. When the Gospel came, it found the Hawaiian nation living in peaceful order and quiet, without thought of revolt. They were thus prepared to give hospitable reception to the new and beneficent Light. A wonderful preparation hael been accotn"plished for the planting of Christianity. In Kamehameha an extraordinary instrument hael been provielcd for this work. He stanels as one of a marvellous chain of special provisions for a speedyconquest of Hawaii by the Gospel. A VISIT TO KOREA By Rev. E. W. Thwing. While the attention of all civilized nations is at present turned towarel Japan, it may be of interest to learn a little more of Korea, as the control of this territory, or at least the controlling influence there, is what Japan desires. It is only ten or twelve hours from Japan to Korea; many of her people have large interests there, anel it is of vital importance that her influence shall come first in the affairs of this "Land of the Morning Calm." On returning to China from a short stay in Japan, the opportunity was found for making a visit to Korea, and seeing some of the curious and very interesting places in this land of white clothes and strange hats. We left the port of Nagasaki, Japan, at about 6p. m. The next morning at 6 o'clock, the island of Tsu-shima being reached, we made a short stop there. Early in the afternoon the southern coast of Korea came well in view, and the first landing was made at Fu-san. This is the chief place on the southern coast of Korea. It is only about fifty miles distant from Japan's nearest land, the island of Tsu-shima. There is a large settlement of Japanese there. History tells us that as early as 33 B. C. the Koreans crossed over into Japan, and at that time there was quite a profitable trade between the two countries. Leaving theJapanese quarter of Fu-san, the real Korean town is entered. What first impressed me as strange and curious was the Korean hats and the big wooden shoes. All sorts of high hats with broad brims could be seen. One very useful hat might be called the umbrella hat. It can be folded and put in the pocket, and when needed opened up like a small umbrella, and placed on the top of the heael. The houses throughout this Korean town are generally rather small and dirty. Most of the people are very poor. The money in use is the copper "cash," some 1600 being needeel to make up the value of an American dollar. Often in the stores long strings of these cash would be piled up three or four feet high. Anyone going shopping might well reejuire a servant to carry his pocket-book. The Korean gentlemen are a fine looking lot. They are, as a rule, rather tall and present a very picturesepie appearance in their beautiful Oriental gowns and fine hats. A gentleman always has a lot of servants, one to carry his hat, another his fan, anil even another for his pipe. He often wears a pair of largespectacles, which, he thinks, gives him a very learnetl appearance. He is very polite and dignified, and thinks a great deal of the proper ceremonies to be useel on elifferent occasions. At this time of the year (the middle of May), the air was cool and bracing, with plenty of sunshine-. The climate of Korea is very fine for a large partof the time. A niissie>narv living there says "For nine months of every year, Korea has the finest and healthiest weather to be found in any land ; from the mieldle of September to the middle of lime, sunshine nearly every clay. and rain enough only to bring on the spring crops few high winds, little dust; cool, bracing falls; sharp, dry winters, anil fresh, mild springs. The three summer months, however, are unhealthy, and trying to all foreigners." It was a great pleasure to stop with Dr. Chas. H. Trvin, the missionary in charge of the Presbyterian mission station at Fu-san. Just as I came in he was engaged in an operation on a Korean boy. This medical work done by Christian doctors, has done much to open up the country. The love anel kindness hospital missionary shown in the comes to the hearts of these people with great power. Dr. Irvin, in a report of his work, says:"l know no better roael to warm your way into the inner nature of another, than to show interest and sympathy in the hour of trial and affliction ; and the medical missionary who fails to take advantage of this God-given opportunity, fails to employ one of the greatest powers in his work." Dr. Irvin : has done a wonderful work here in Fusan. In eight years he has treated nearly 50.000 patients, besides over 9,000 children, anel he has performed ewer 2,000 surgical operations, among which none have been fatal. There is a church here now, e>f between 30 and 40 members, anel the native Christians are being taught the important lesson that each one is to feel it his own duty to he a missionary to those around him. It is in this way that the work is spreading all over Korea. Many of the Koreans who come to Honolulu are already Christians. A missionary in Korea states that "There are now about thirty thousand Protestant Christians in that country: anel in northern Korea, where, eight years ago, there- were but half a elozeii little groups of Christians, there are- now two hundred and thirtyfive meeting places. These are steadily increasing, for last year 1.232 new converts were- baptized in that section eif the country alone." After leaving Fu-san, Chemulpo was the next place- visited. This port is on the southwestern coast. The steamer had to anchor a long way from shore, as all along this coast there arc miles of mud, much of which is left bare- at lowtide. A visit at the Methodist mission station he-re-, and lunch with Mr. Jones, the missionary in charge, were much enjoyed. We went to see the- native church anil the homes of some- of the Christians. Very often you can se-e- at once- the influence of Christianity in their home life. They always show much appreciation of the missionary's visits, anil seem to make a good, sturdy class of Christians. Many of them are bright, and .very quick to learn. From Chemulpo it is but a short. trip to Seoul, the capital. An American company has built a railroad covering the thirty-five miles from Chemulpo Also it is the Americans who have built and now operate the electric street railway in the capital. Not only the missionaries, hut many of the business men from the United States are finding much to interest them in this once "Hermit Kingdom." While there I hearel much talk about the very valuable golel mines which are being elevelopcel also by Americans. Seoul is a city of perhaps 300,000 inhabitants, and may be a very beautiful one from a Korean point of view, but does not, however, seem to be a very handsome city to a Westerner. After nightfall the gates are shut and most of the people stay at home. In the daytime, however, it is a very interesting sight that is seen as one approaches the great south gate of Seoul. A two-storied �8 THE FRIEND. covers the tunnel-like entrance through the wall here. All day long a busy crowd arc pushing their way back and forth. Curious carts and sedan chairs, men, with strange burdens strapped on their backs; oxen, with their heavy loads; men on foot, dressed in long white gowns and black hats, all make up the steady stream which may be seen any day at the gate of Korea's capital. Now that Japan's armies are marching through Korea, a glance at some of her early relations with this empire may be of interest. History shows us that Japan has ever hail her eyes toward this "Land of the Morning Calm." Japan's first expedition into Korea was in A. D. 203. The Japanese take great pride in this, their first exploit in a foreign land. At that time Korea sent back to Japan 80 ships of gold and silver and other precious things, together with men of noble families as hostages. They then took oath to be tributary to Japan. Again in 1583, Hideyoshi, a great Japanese general, invaded Korea with a large army. As late as 1872, during the stirring times following the rapid changes introduccel into Japan, the war project to conquer Korea was very popular. However, circumstances prevented an outbreak at that time, and later, in 1876, by a treaty of peace and friendship, Japan opened up Korea to the world. The United States was the first Western power to conclude a treaty with Korea. A clause of this treaty, made with the United States on May Ist, 1882, reads as follows: "If other powers deal unjustly or oppressively with either Government, the other will exert their gooel offices, on being informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings." America has ever been ready to lend her aid for the welfare of this nation. American missionaries are doing the largest part of the work of teaching her people. And to America, as well as to Japan, must the people of Korea look for that helping hanel which may place her among the most enlightened nations of the world. This brief stay in Korea was so full of interest and enjoyment as to lead to the hope that at some future time a longer visit may he made. tower letters and to present facts already stated close this appeal by extracts from it: by herself in a very earnest appeal made Her date was Jan. 17th, 1904: at the February meeting of the W.

He preached last Sunday at the Chinese church. He also spoke of the encouraging work in Hilo. WAILUKU, MAUI. Miss Turner gives the following notes of the Chinese work on Maui: There are some very encouraging features connecteel with the Chinese Mission work in Wailuku. ()ne is the interest the class of young men show in the study of English, as they meet two evenings of the week at Alexander House. There is also a markeel interest shown in attendance at Sabbath school, and church services. There seems to be a elesire on the part of some to know the Christian truth. On Thursday evening, Feb. 4th, there was a very pleasant gathering of Chinese young men at the home of the Workers connecteel with the Alexander House. Various games were furnished for entertainment, and all entered into the spirit of them. Tea and cakes were served for refreshments. It was an evening of social cheer, anel will long be pleasantly remembered by all. 11 IN RE AN OLD FRIEND Distance from markets and the nature of the soil make this a practical cerlslanel friends who are from New Eng- tainty.

R. paign among the SHOPPING Every legitimate efSmall Farming fort to encourage this form of industry for these islands is worthy of commendation. ()n this point there can be but little difference of opinion. The advantage of having an intelligent, industrious class of people elistributed throughout the group, with their interests rooteel in the soil, is so great from every point of view that it cannot but be desirable to every clcarminded person. About the only ground for difference of opinion would seem to be as to the source from which this part of our population should be derived! Should it be sought entirely from the- mainland, or should we attempt to furnish it from the young people growing up on the ground? The true answer probably is that it should be derived from both these sources. The present tendency, however, seems to be to emphasize the importance of the former to the neglect of the latter, This is doubtless because this is the easier and apparently the more promising method, and anyone who is acquainted with the difficulties that woulel attend the raising up of an intelligent farming class from the youth of enir various races will not be too hasty in condemning it. Still, a true foresight will keep all the elements of the problem in view. We must remember that many at least of these people are here to stay, and so far as they dei not learn to carry on some form of honest industry they are likely to swell the pauper and criminal classes. A man with a fixed place of abode which he can call his own, is more likely to become a useful citizen and respect the rights of others, than one who has no such attachment. It is always desirable, therefore, that as many ns possible of the people of a country have such places of abode.

To those who have capital to make a beginning with such crops, there seems good provided the prospect of work is carried on with diligence and intelligence. Such farming will, however, be for the few and not for the many. The majority must be content with other and less profitable crops, which can be raised more quickly and with less outlay of money. For this class e>f farming, we believe it would be a mistake for the American farmer to come. He can do better at home. He has there broader opportunities, and if he fails in one place it is not so elifficult tei get away to another as it would be here. Let educators and government officials stuely the question more deeply of raising up small farmers from our own peeiple. J. LFADINGHAM. It would tax both the columns of "The Friend" and the patience of its friends to detail all the signs of promise in the Board's work on Maui and Hawaii. In the elesert land of plantation Japandom —desert because of the dearth of all that we Americans mean by the word "home" one beautiful oasis is found at Honomu. This is Rev. Mr. Sokabc's Japanese Boareling School. Mr. Sokabe is a genius in his management of children and in his power to attract the love of young and old. His countrymen who are led to Christ by him bear a stamp all their own. Wherever they are they work for their Master, and go where they will, they never cease to love the old school and church. Give them a holiday, and back they run to Honomu to spend it. There is no other such place in all Hawaii. And the children? How much it means to them! Mr. and Mrs. Se)kabe have no little ones of their own, but they dearly love and fondly care for their charges. Not s year passes without some of these children at the critical age for religious life becoming followers of school Jesus. They grow so fond of their vacation in a few at home days that after they begin to cry for Honomu. Strange, too, for Sokabc's gospel is one of work. Every week day at 4:30 or 5 p. m. the scholars, under the lead of the schoolfather—to call him principal would be a sad misnomer—troop out to the cane fields, and there all hands put in a good hour stripping cane. The plantation pays them the full value of the labor, and with their tiny wages the little tots learn the first lessons of thrift. Rev. Mr. Hill and his companion, the Board's commissioner, will not soon forget the lovely October afternoon when to the beat of drums a company of neatly uniThe Oasis at Honomu — At that meeting the olel constitution, somewhat altcreel, was accepteel, and the President authorized to appoint committees which should be in running oreler on the arrival of Mr. Martin, who is expected by the first steamer in March.

But unfortunately, genius though he is in school management (erne whom even Frocbel woulel delight to honor), in business affairs Mr. Sokabc is a child. So the school struggles on in debt, but ever happy amid its discouragements. Some day grace may be given him to endure a business manager. But debts or no debts, errors in minor matters, too, included, this sclumil deserves to live, and should have generous frienels who can appieciate a man of such rare type and are glael to foot enough of his bills to D.

The- second venture is still a competition, but on different lines. The public schools of the city, it is hoped, will compete in some large way, eluring the afternoon of the festival. Some large grounds will be chosen (probably the Boys' Field), anil the thought is to build a sounding board, and have similar grades of the public schools sing against each other; and then all, perhaps, unite in some common chorus. The details of these plans have not fully elcvelopcd, but more will be beard soon. Among those who can be saiel to l>e very much interested in the project are Mrs. Yarndley, Mrs. Tucker, who is in charge of the music of the public schools, and si-veral teachers of private eirganizations here in the city.

()n the third of February a parly was given to the larger boys anil girls eif the Settlement. In spite of rain about twenty of the thirty-six invited came to enjoy two hours of good fun, at the close- of which light refreshments were served. The following evening the young Chinamen of the town were entertained at the Workers' house. Games were arranged at a number of small tables, and heartily entered into by the young men. Cake anil Chinese tea, followed by Speeches, completed the evening, which was considered a success. Not a small part of the pleasure the occasion affonled was the visits to the houses anel shops for inviting the guests. Chinese New Years has offercel a suitable time for more calls on men, women and children. Twenty-four calls were made one day, and everywhere was found a warm welcome anil a hot dish of tea anel Chinese sweetmeats. Some of these naturally shy people were willing to have their photographs taken. If the films develop well the only regret will be that the bright colors of the holielay dresses could not be reproduced. A number of calls have been maele e>n 1 lawaiians anel Portuguese during the 13 Till-. FRIEND freshments at the Workers' home. Is not an evening of play for grown men a hit of practical education, as well as a wholesome recreation? Such an evening in an attractive Christian home, among people who have a live interest in the welfare of "the under dog," is a pleasure anel benefit to all concerned. For this reason it is that the social life at Alexander House is maele so important. !•:. A. 11.

It is in keeping with the modern principle of intensity. It is further a corollary of the meeting held recently in Hilo. If the white Christians of the Territory have eyes to see and wills to act, that occasion will serve as the beginning of a new era in the progress of the Kingdom in Hawaii nei. We have heard much from white people anent the race prejudice cherished by Hawaiians, though singularly enough never a word from latter. The meeting in Hilo showed not a hint of such a sentiment. It would be strange if some day the whites should wake up to find the reality a case of the yellow of the jaundiced eye. "Treat the Hawaiian as brother and ten to one he will do the same by you," was the message of the Hilo Association. Somehow the history of these Islands seems at times to tell the same story. Note for example how the entirely frank and open action of our Governor is hailed by the dominant race here. Governor Carter meets the legislators squarely and they pledge to do honestly in extra session. He treats with them honorably on this basis —the only possible course in the present desperate emergency. Instead of condemning him why not spend every energy in the endeavor to call out the nobler emotions of our legislators ? Expect them to do their duty, to come to the relief of our teachers, now unable to cash their hard-earned salaries, to respond to the dictate of patriotism. Whatever may be the plain teaching of wisdom in the realm of politics, in religious effort there can be but one course. We who call ourselves Christians must treat one another as brothers. It is decidedly encouraging to know that our Hawaian fellow-disciples will go more than half way in the endeavor to actualize the brotherhood all of us profess. ALoss. We regret to chronicle the approach- ing departure of Rev. Edward B. Turner of Kohala. The story of his work is Hawaii. No. 4 thers. We cannot afford to lose such men without making their places good. Kohala has our sympathy in its loss. We heartily wish Mr. and Mrs. Turner the success which their noble work in this Territory bespeaks. Hard Hit. Hawaii is receiving blow upon blow. In another column Mr. Whitney summarizes the financial reverses of the month. Severer than any or all of these is the loss in the realm of ideals occasioned by the departure this week of Principal and Mrs. Charles Bartlett Dyke of the Kamehameha Schools. It will be some time before the community will know — if it ever do — what these two rare spirits have accomplished by their quiet, wise policy in their management of the leading institution of this Territory. For although today the Kamehameha Schools exist ostensibly for members of one race, that race has become so closely connected with many others that a commingling of strains quite unique gives much more breadth to the constituency that at first thought appears. In time doubtless this sole remnant of narrowness of sphere will cease to obtain. We are not sure that its present retention is not fraught with immense promise to the future of these Islands. This Territory is as unequivically committed to the world policy of race commingling as the Southern states are to superficial race exclusiveness. Superficial because where such exclusiveness exists nominally in law, illicit intercourse will destroy the reality. Hawaii's course is better and never as long as Kamehameha stands can the mixed portion of the population here be defrauded by a caste-loving section of its right to the best and most man-making education. Mr. and Mrs. Dyke came here at a critical time in the history of this instituticm. In their case husband and wife are one. Where one acts the other is involved. Both represent the highest product of American education. Each is a type of the twentieth century Christian, catholic in sympathy, intolerant of shams, absolutely devoted to found in another column. Mr. Turner is the sort of man these Islands need, one who sees no color line, knows no race prejudice and is bound to make every ef- truth, the bondservant of the' Lord Jesus �4 THE FRIEND. Christ. They have labored so unostentatiously that only the inner frientls of the Schools know what a revolution they have wrought. That history it is not for us to tell. Suffice it to say that the boys and girls of Kamehameha have gained a fresh conception of the freedom, power and beauty of the cultured Christian life from their contact with these noble teachers. Previous to their coming they had been preceded by a series of able leaders. Yet it can be said without the slightest disparagement to the fine records made by these predecessors to whom Kamehameha will ever owe so much, that in financial management, in discipline, in teaching efficiency, in moral power and in Christian influence a new era was inaugurated by Principal and Mrs. Dyke. The saddest part of the present separation is that just when the labors of these years are about to flower and bear fruit the originating genius is called away. The Trustees have been wise in refusing to accept Mr. Dyke's resignation and in granting him leave of absence. We trust that his health may soon be restored and Hawaii be again privileged to number these devoted public servants among her history-making children. FIRST TEST OF THE NEW POLICY What would the Hawaii Association do with the suggestion loopen wide its do >rs to men of all races in the effort to build up a strong, closely co-ordinated, aggressive organization of Christian churches in this Territory knowing no caste lines of color and no separating barriers of race ? That was the question uppermost in the minds of the delegation that went from Honolulu to Hilo on March 10. The reply given was absolutely unequivocal. The native Hawaiian churches through their pastors and duly chosen delegates have declared with splendid enthusiasm and without a single dissenting voice, "Close ranks and charge for the enemy in the fight to win and keep these Islands for Christ." The story of this historic meeting is as simple as it is inspiring. I. The Atmosphere. Hi'o attended to the physical side of this important feature nobly. Scarcely a drop of rain fell the entire eight days anil tho' it was Kona weather the air boasted far more ozone than Honolulu knows under these southerly conditions. Meantime the spiritual atmosphere was ideal. The tone of the meetine was set at the first session where the half hour of devotional exercises refused to be governed by the clock. "Realize our Brotherhood," "Forward for Christ'under the inspiration of the Ilolv Spirit," were the two watchwords given by that session to the Association. The second day Rev. Mr. Shield's notable paper struck the key strong and full, From first to last it was a feast of brothers. Languages flew thick and fast, hearts were blazing with enthusiasm and faces told the story even before the nimble-minded interpreters had time to speak it out intelligibly. Rev. Mr. Desha was in his element, now-moving the Hawaiian heart with his rare eloquence, anon putting the pith of some countryman's speech into telling Anglo-Saxon. Rev. (). H. Gulick tossed his three balls, Hawaiian, Japanese, English, with all the skill of a Far-eastern juggler. Thoughts were sent speeding back and forth from the battledores of five languages until it seemed as though the poor shuttlecocks must lose all their feathers—which indeed they sometimes did to the amusement of the entire assembly. Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese had their innings as well as their white and darker comrades, luaii and joyous social festivities succeeded debate and report, while through all sounded the anthem of the Master, "All ye are brethren." 2. The constitutional question. Hawaiians love the give ami take of parliamentary discussion. Their Christian leaders were well trained by the fathers in the secrets of orderly business procedure. Each Island Association has grown up with its usages and body of governing laws. The new policy proposed to ask all four of these organizations in the interest of simplicity and to facilitate the union of all nationalities to adopt a flexible and uniform body of rules. Would Hawaii lead off in ibis movement was the crux of the entire situation. The answer was characteristic of this gentle, high-spirited race. Oahu's constitution was submitted as a basis for discussion. In a beautiful spirit of disinterested devotion to the cause of progress the Association took up rule after rule, pruned it of all unessentials and turned out a simple, usable constitution upon which all sensible Christians of free church sympathies can heartily unite. Furthermore in order to still all possible future controversies an English interpretation was adoptetl with not a dissident voice. It was an ideal result reached in an ideal way. Tt is to be hoped that Oahu. Kauai and Maui will second with enual cordiality this generous action of Hawaii. t, ' Our Theological West Point. Whence arc the future leaders for our churches to come? With the closure of the Pacific Theological Seminary this nnpstiop assumes a new importance. At resnonse was sent to the Hilo a Poard. Rev. Mr. Shields in an able address condensed the argument of the Usnciation admi'-phlv. H' c noint* were in substance as follow*: These T«'ands "-•11st train their o\v" Japanese. Chinese. Portiigrtese and: Hawaiian Christian workers. Those of the two former races should not be drawn from Asia because of the great needs there. Trained Portuguese and Hawaiians can be gotten from nowhere else. If the Territory is to have a Theological Seminary locate it in Hilo and at the Boys' Boarding School. First, because that is a successful institution with the required cspit dc corps and the industrial features so much demanded by the conditions prevailing in these Islands. Second, the theological department will react on the school and impress upon the lxns the claims of the ministry. Third, the passage from the school to the seminary will suffer no such break in associations and surroundings as oftentimes results in the reversal of determination to prepare for a life of Christian service. Fourth, Hilo and its vicinity offer large opportunity for practical work to students of theology. Fifth, inasmuch as Rev. Messrs. Desha, Hill. Shields, Da Silva.Yajima and Mo stand ready to assist in teaching, only one instructor need be added to make the movement a success. The Association votetl unanimously to request the Board to open a Theological Department in connection with Hilo Boarding School. 4. Attitude toward the two parent Hoards. When the financial condition of the Hawaiian Board was explained to the Association the response was most touching. With one voice the delegates pledged themselves to go back to the Churches with the message "Let us stand by the Boartl with greater generosity than ever." One leading pastor whose church has given him but $67 the past six months for support and for whom the Association was about to ask from the Board an annual grant of $75 refused for a moment to allow this action to he taken. He had known days without sugar, without tea. without coffee, everi without bread in his home. He had turned his hand to painting, carpentry, work in the fields,anything to ekeout a meager subsistence for his family of seven, but he would take not a cent from the old Board in its distressed condition. Another grey haired pastor whose fields lie far apart had been seen by Mr. Timoteo plodding through Hamakua mud with trousers rolled up to his knees, too poor to ride yet glad to continue faithful to his work. Requests for aid were pared down to the lowest figure in a noble spirit of determination to ask as little as possible out of loyalty to the Board in its time of distress. Then when the claims of Christ's last command to "disciple all nations" were presented the members rose once more to the occasion and in a spirit of love to the American Board for all it had done for Hawaii voted enthusiastically to endeavor to secure a contribution to the treasury of that society from each church at least once every six months. �THE FRIEND These gifts for foreign missions will go through the Hawaiian Board. 5. Licenses and Rallies. In the first time in this Territory men of Asia were licensed by men of Hawaii to preach the Gospel. One Hawaiian, two Chinese and three Japanese evangelists by name Messrs. Mo, U. Sokabe, Inoue, Washivama and Kawelo were carefully examined and approved by the Association. Rev. E. G. Da Silva, Pastor of the Hilo Portuguese Church was chosen a permanent member. Last but not least, Sunday and the week evenings were utilized to the full for a series of rallies in Foreign, Haiti, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese Churches and Salvation Army Hall. Overflowing audiences listened to all sorts of good things presented kalaidoscopicallv in the various tongues. The membership of the Chinese Church sadly depleted by removals was doubled by the addition of five new members, while at Honomu seven baptisms cheered the hearts of the courageous company of Christians in that Gosj)el stronghold. All told, for picturesqueness, for solid achievement, for spiritual power and prophetic promise the spring meeting of Hawaii Congregational Association in 1904, deserves to be held in grateful memory. We are glad to present the photograph of its members taken on the steps of Haili Church. D. S. CHRISTIAN CO-OPERATION Address delivered by Rev. Curtis E. pastor of Hilo Foreign Church, before the Congregational Association of Hawaii at Hilo, March 12, 1904: On account of my meager knowledge of the conditions existing here I must of necessity speak generally, and from theory, rather than to point out our local excellencies and defects. Coming from the more strongly centralized work of the States, I have here felt a certain degree of isolation. Indeed, it has sometimes seemed to me that, ecclesiastically, we are in very much the case of Israel, "when there was no king and every man did that which was right in his own eyes." I sometimes fear that we are thus losing the momentum that assists in the movement of larger bodies. This age, beyond all others, has appreciated the strength of union, cooperation, combination. It has taken hold of the industrial world in a way that is almost alarming. Perhaps in some cases it has worked hardship, but certainly it has achieved brilliant results. Co-operation has revolutionized the transporation system of the world. Fifty or even twenty years ago a long journey was a task. Today you can from almost any village buy a ticket Shields, around the world. We may see the same thing illustrated in the operation of the plantations here on the island, where the interest of one is the interest of all. Now there is a place, and a very positive place, for such co-operative organization in the Christian church. The signs of the times are promising. The last few years have shown great progress in this way upon the mission fields of the world. And here we might expect it. If Christianity does not face heathendom with a united front, how can she expect successfully to face it at all ? We are seeing such union work out with great encouragement in Japan, India, Mexcio. The denominations are working with most hearty co-operation and amity in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. There is also a positive movement toward the union of denominations, holding similar views, throughout the States. Two or three such combinations are taking definite form at the present time, and the emphasis today upon cvangelicism is drawing all the evangelical churches into closer bonds of sympathy. I think we may safely prophesy that the period of denominational disintegration has passed. Reconstruction and co-operation is the spirit of the hour. There are ample reasons for such united or cooperative action in our Christian work. In the first place there is one and only one Great Head of the Church. We are not one of Paul and another of Apollos. Jesus Christ himself is "the head of the body of the church." As members of that body of which He is the Head, we ought to expect nothing else than the most hearty co-operation for the welfare of the whole. In the second place the efficiency of the church depends upon such concerted actions. We have both a destructive and a constructive work before us. Destructively we are to break down the kingdom of darkness. And evil forces understand perfectly the power of union and co-operation. Pilate and Herod buried their enmity and were made friends together by their mutual paricipation in the condemnation of their differJesus Christ. Whatever end, we may exor of method ences pect the forces of evil to stand together against the progress of righteousness. And random shots will never carry their position for Jesus Christ. We must have concerted movement and loyal support along the whole line. The civil war in the States was carried on without definite plan, and without definite results, until Grant came into chief command. He united the army in purpose and plan of campaign. From the Atlantic to the Mississippi all moved 5 with a co-operative harmony which steadily worked out his desired results. Such a co-operative plan we need in the campaign of the church. —"If two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them." But the church has a constructive work before her. Looked at from the Godward side it is to hasten the coming of His kingdom on earth. From the manward view point it is the Salvation of Souls. We are in this line to edify believers and to build them up in the faith; to lead them from a diet of milk to strong meat. And there is a mighty incentive in the touch with our fellowman. It is necessary to receive and dispense Christian sympathy and encouragement. No matter how glowing the coal you take from the heap in the furnace, if you leave it in isolation it soon grows cold and dead. We need to heap together the fuels of our Christians' faith that it may burst forth in a the flames of Christian works. And as a church —as ministers here together—we must remember that our aggressive work must also include, by the grace and blessing of God, the conversion of souls. "He that converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." Here too we recognize the forces of united witness and united effort. The last two or three years have seen in the States, a decided revival of evangelistic effort. One most helpful feature of this effort is the assistance pastors have been rendering to each other. A neighboring pastor in the pulpit every night for a week freshens and stimulates effort. Perhaps difference and diversity of tongues makes such service as this impossible among us. But Ido believe we might move together along this line. We could arrange to impress upon our people and upon ourselves the necessity of united prayer for revival in the church,—"And prayer and pains," says lohn Eliot, "accompanied with faith in Jesus Christ, can accomplish anything." Israel marched six times about Jericho with no apparent result; but on the seventh day, after their march, the priests blew their trumpets in unison, and while the people shouted with a great shout, the wall of Jericho fell. Let us sound again in unison the blast of the trumpet in faith, believing that the walls of iniquity are tottering to their fall. With united aim and effort let us hold this island, and all the islands, for Jesus Christ. As we hear the beat of the surf on our sun-kissed shores, let it remind us of Him who �THE FRIEND said, "hitherto shalt thou come, and mother with their two children fled to the mountains, but were hunted down, and all were massacred except Obookiah, who was held as a captive by the very man who had murdered his parents.

Then allowing our eyes to wander over the blue expanse of the mighty deep, we recall the promise of a time "when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as Infortunatcly SCHOOL WHERE OBOOKIAH RTTTDFim After a long sealing and trading voyage, first to the Aleutian Islands, then to Canton, and then homeward around the Cape of Good Hope, they arrived in New York in 1809. Capt. Brintnal took the boys home with him to New Haven, where they attracted the Christian sympathy of Mr. E. W. Dwight and some other Vale students who gave them instruction for several months. Afterwards Obookiah was taken into the family of Rev. S. J. Mills of Torringfortl, where he labored on a farm part of the time for his board. Here "every possible attention was paid to the improvement of his mind." He spent the next two years chiefly at Andover, where the younger Mills was studying. Here he made great progress in his studies, especially in his knowledge of the Bible. The testimony of people with whom he lived was that "he appeared to be thinking of nothing but religion." Certainly his letters and his private diary would bear out this impression. In the fall of 1814, he was taken under the care of the Consociation of Litchfield County, and he was received into the church at Torringford, Conn., on the 9th of April, 1815. After this he lived for a year with Rev. Mr. Harvey of Goshen, and then with the Rev. Mr. Prentice of Canaan. Towards the end of the year 1816, he accompanied Mr. Perkins, an agent of the American Board, in a tour which was of great service to the cause of foreign missions, for it served as an object lesson of what could be done for the heathen, antl what they might become under the culture of Christian love. Obookiah's addresses were always appropriate, earnest and convincing. Notwithstanding all the attentions which he received, humility is saitl to have been a marked feature of his character. By this time several other Hawaiian youths had been taken up by Christian friends and were receiving instruction. Among them were Thomas Hopu, William Kanui and John Honolii, all of GRAVE OF OBOOKIAH. �THE FRIEND whom returned to Hawaii with the missionary pioneers in 1820. A memorial was laid liefore the Board at its annual meeting in 1816, setting forth the need of a school for the education of heathen youth, which led to the appointment of a committee to establish such a school. This committee purchased in Cornwall, Conn., two large dwelling houses, and a tract of farming land together with 80 acres of timber land, while the good people of Cornwall gave "an academy" with three rooms, and 13 acres of wood land, besides a considerable sum in money and clothing. TJie foreign Mission School was opened in May, 1817, under the care of Mr. Edwin W. Dwight, Obookiah's friend, who was succeeded a year later by Rev. Herman Daggett. Among the first ten pupils were five Hawaiians, including Obookiah, the three mentioned above, ami George Humehume, a son of Kaumualii, King of Kauai. Manual labor on the farm formed an essential part of the instruction in the school, which was thus made partly self-supporting. Besides the ten foreign youths, two young New Englanders were admitted into the school, to be educated for missionary work, viz.: Samuel Ruggles and James Ely, whose influence and example were of great service. Both of them were afterwards sent to these islands as missionaries, Samuel Ruggles in 1819 and James Ely in 1823. Obookiah's superior ability and character were recognized by his fellow students, who looked up to him as a leader, and great things were expected of him when he should return to his native land. He had made a beginning towards a grammar and vocabulary of the Hawaiian language, and had translated into it the whole of the book of Genesis. But his cherished hope was not destined to be realized. In January 1818, he had an attack of typhus fever, and in spite of the best medical attention continued to decline until he breathed his last on the night of February 17, 1818. The day before he died he had his countrymen called in, and gave them his parting counsel, in a most affectionate and pathetic strain. The closing scene of his life was peaceful and triumphant. The report of the American Board for 1820 refers to it in the following words: "The raised hopes founded under Providence, on the unquestioned piety, the distinguished talents, and the excellent character of Obookiah, terminated in his triumphant departure from these earthly scenes, before (he first year of the school had expired." As is stated in the Memorial volume of the A. B. C. F. M., "By the year 1825, a considerable number of the youths educated at the Cornwall school had been returned, where there were missions, to their native lands, and the theories of the past were corrected by experience." The three who came out with the pioneers, according to Mr. Dibble, were of some service in spite of their "ignorance, instability and waywardness," but those who accompanied the first reinforcement in 1823, (Stephen Pupuhi, Richard Kalaioula and William Kamahoula), "were a hindrance rather than a help," and soon "made shipwreck of the hopes of their friends." From the experience of missionary societies both of Great Britain and America, it finally became the settled policy of the American Board to do all its educational work in the countries where it is carrying on its missions. For such reasons the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall, Conn., was finally closed in 1827, after it had been in operation for ten years. W. D. A. "THY KINGDOM COME" IN KOHALA Truth and righteousness have ever had to struggle fiercely for supremacy. Our age and our islands are no exception to this truth. And the same conditions that characterize the Master's kingdom in other island districts, mark it in Kohala. North Kohala has the well-earned reputation of being one of the most attractive, cultured and progressive country districts in the Islands. And yet Kohala, the birthplace of Kamehameha the Great, is not today all we would like it to be. If the church of Christ would be victorious it must here wage a never-ending battle against the seductive spirit of worldiness. King Sugar is making a brave effort and all but succeeding, in crowdNot that the ing out King Christ. Christian life—in name—is altogether unpopular, but there does not seem to be that intense relish for things spiritual which is always necessary before "Thy kingdom" can come. It is far easier to fill a baseball field or a tennis court on the Sabbath than the waiting pews of our churches. In the midst of such conditions, when the things of this world are uppermost in men's minds, it is not to be wondered at that a strong spiritual apathy prevails. Yet while we think that there has been a growth in the daily Christian life among our old members, there is still great need of an active and joyous expression of faith in Jesus Christ among our people. Our deeper life is negative rather than positive. It is easier to talk crops than religion. If material improvements are any index of spiritual growth, then there ought to be a marked advance in the latter grace. During the past two or three years the Makapala Chinese and Japanese school, belonging to the Board, has been rcroofed and put in good repair ; two years ago the Chinese church and parsonage at Kaiopihi had six hundred dollars spent on new roofs and other repairs, and now we have just spent $260 on painting it within and without. This is now among the most attractive looking churches in Kohala. There has also been built and equipped an $800 kindergarten, which is doing noble work on Kohala plantation. Though now free of debt, it is sadly in need of funds for cu*"i>jnt ex penses.

If it were not for the fifty seminary girls, there could hardly be a morning service. Since Mr. Kekuewa's resignation, the church has been several months without a pastor. And yet there are many natives in Kohala, who could be reached with the help of a young, enthusiastic and consecrated leader. This noble church, which Father Bond built with his own hands, and which in later years has been loyally supported by his own children, ought not to be allowed to languish and die.

American, —There are two churches in the district for Englishspeaking people—the Episcopal church, St. Augustine's and the Kohala Union church. The rector of St. Augustine's, Mr. Kenton-Smith, is a strong addition to the community, both socially and morally. These two churches work together on the most friendly of terms. During the week of prayer they held union services, ami the evening of Good Friday will be obs< rved in like manner. The Kohala Union church acts as an adviser and helper for all the different phases of the Hawaiian Board's work. The Sabbath morning congregations of this church average about fifty, one-half of whom are children. For nearly two years every week a ten-minute sermon has been preached for the boys and girls. This part of the service has at least been an inspiration to the pastor. During the past year systematic beneficence has been instituted and our morning offerings have been doubled. This system, if faithfully observed, will put any church upon a sound financial basis. We have also inaugurated systematic daily Bible study. About eighteen families and individuals in the congregation are observing the daily watch hour. The "Daily Bible," a series of Bible studies, published at Clifton Springs, N. Y\, is guiding our thought and has proven itself very valuable ami helpful to our growth in spirituality. The present pastor of the Kohala Union church expects to leave the Islands for the mainland the latter part of April. After a residence of five years here, he and his wife carry with them a hearty aloha for the Island people and the Island life. As yet his successor has not been found. We trust that the new pastor's heart and head will be in the work and that he will be a strong factor in the spiritual awakening of this beloved land. E. B.

Fires had been started in the dry grass, in an adjoining lot, and although my father worked heroically to save it, the building was burned to the ground. When this building was erected, the majority of the English-speaking inhabitants of Central Kona, were Americans, but most of them have either moved to other localities or been taken to the better land.

KONA'S FOREIGN CHURCH AND PRESENT NEEDS. 9 his Master, joining the church in his home town. Three years were spent as a student in Corning Academy ; then followed his entrance into Princeton, and his graduation in 1896. While here he determined to follow the injunction of his Saviour, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." In preparation for this, be spent two years at Auburn Theological Seminary, New York, and later entered the Union Theological Seminary in the same city, graduating in May, 1899. His great desire was to go as a missionary to China, but the way not being clear for it then, he accepted a position in Mills Institute. As this was a school for Chinese youth, and Honolulu on the highway to China, he felt it was in line with his heart's desire, and so became one of the staff of teachers in this institution, remaining two years. As is characteristic of the man, he did not confine his work to the students of this school only, but gave willing service to any and all branches of Christian work. Becoming an active worker in a night school for Chinese at Palama, he solicited from friends between five and six hundred dollars for a chapel at this place. During his second year in Honolulu he married Miss Gertrude Norris, a playmate of his childhood, and at the close of the school year accepted a call to the pastorate of the Kohala Union church, where together they have been active workers in the life of the church and community. As a pastor he has labored faithfully, not only among his own people, but his interest has extended to the other nationalities here. To the Chinese and Japanese churches he has been "a tower of strength," officiating at their communions, baptisms, weddings and deaths. Entering into their lives in such sincerity that he has been often called upon to settle personal differences among these people. He has solicited funds when repairs were necessary on these churches, which is always a trying ordeal and which required great love for the work to be willing often to sacrifice his own feelings for the object. His interest alone has been paramount, for no remuneration has been received for this work. The establishment of the Kohala kindergarten was largely due to his efforts. His love for athletics has held him very close to the hearts of the young people in his church and community, and it is largely through his influence that match games of ball have never been played here on the Sabbath.

The Third, and in view of its exact timeliness fitting the auspicious moment, one of the most notable Providences in this series, was the peculiar call or summons wdiich led to the dispatch of the band of pioneer missionaries in 1819, so as to arrive at the preSPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE cise moment when the Hawaiian peoCHRISTIANIZATION OF ple were best prepared to receive them.

Thomas Hopu, whom the present writer well remembers as a school teacher at Kailua from 1830 to 1831). The other, and more notable one, was Henry Obookiah or Opukahaia. He was found weeping on the threshold of one of Vale College buildings because there was no one to instruct him. Rev. E. W. Dwight became his teacher, and soon after the ardent Samuel J. Mills became actively interested in him, and took him to his home in Torringford, and then to Andover, where a deep interest was awakened in the youth, and where Obookiah began to develop an earnest Christian piety. The result was the establishment in Cornwall, Ct., in 1810, by the American Board, of a training school for heathen youth. This opened with twelve pupils, seven of whom were from 1 lawaii. Obookiah tlied early in 1818. after some years of devoted anxiety for the conversion of his Hawaiian brethren. Some of his recordetl words were as follows: "I hope God will sentl the Gospel to the heathen land, where the words of the Savior never yet had been.

My poor countrymen who are yet living in the region and shadow of death, 1 often feel for them in the night season concerning the loss of their souls. May the Lord Jesus dwell in my heart, and prepare me to go and spend the remaining part of my life with them. But not my will, () Lord, but Thy will be done." Obookiah's death lent a very touching power to his published wortls, and aroused to action the previously awakened thought of sending a mission to Hawaii. Mr. Hiram Bingham of Andover Seminary, visiting the Cornwall school, keenly felt the impulse emanating from the departed ()bookiah, and his classmate, Asa Thurston, joined him in offering themselves for that enterprise to the American Board. In company with five assistant missionaries, and the wives of the seven men, they sailed from Boston in the brig Thaddeus for Hawaii, October 23, 1819. They were to arrive at what proved to be the exact moment when they were most needed, and all was ready for them. It was solely Obookiah's intense desire for the salvation of his people, sealed by his early death, that kindled in Hiram Bingham's heart and in the hearts of his associates the purpose to evangelize Hawaii, and that brought to a focus in that direction the thoughts of the American Board and its supporters. During a few years previous, missions had been sent to the Orient, to India, and to the American Indians. But for Obookiah, Hawaii would scarcely have been considered, at least not urgently. It was the death of this humble youth that lent his words a pathos and insistence which prevailed. Through him a voice was given to be heard and felt from the inarticulate moan of a lovable but dying tribe of childlike people perishing in a very gross darkness. It became an effectual call of God to enter an open door, which later events have proved to be of high, if not supreme, importance. In 1819, men had not dreamed of the coming spiritual as well as political importance of Hawaii, as the central point of the Pacific in the forefront of Christendom, facing the great pagan empires of the Orient. It was a point to be redeemed and occupied by Gospel light and power in view of the coming impact of advancing Christendom upon the ancient Paganism. But what men recked . . * * * the Lord of the Kingdom foreknew. We may see how He provided for it. Nowhere in human history can the Divine Hand be more clearly seen than in the Call voiced by ()bookiah which sent that mission to Hawaii in that year. not, REMINISCENCE'S OF TROUBLOUS TIMES IN 1868 crashing around us.

On the morning of April Bth, the smoke was so dense that the sun appeared like a ball of fire. The whole district was shrouded in darkness. This condition lasted during the continuance of the flow, which entered the ocean at Kailikii, about three miles north of Kalae, the southern cape of the island. The prevailing direction of the earthquake wave, during this eruption, was said to be from northeast to southwest, so that articles of furniture standing at right angles to that wave were overturned, while those in other positions might not be disturbed. During the greater part of this eruption, the air was hot and sultry, and the continual vibration of the earth caused many people to have a sensation of nausea, so that food was almost untouched. The lava and gases, having found a vent, the earthquakes became less and less frequent, and finally the island resumed its normal condition. But the memory of those trying days cannot be effaced. When ''He looketh on the earth and it trembleth, toucheth the Dibble, Green, Lyman, Coan, Dr. Wetmore. We give but leading names; Heaven has the record of the rest. The church was born of missionary endeavor. Its genius is that of local missions. Never in its history has the Foreign Church of Hilo forsaken its genius, and we mayrest confident that it never will. During the Civil War in America the Confederate ship Shenandoah went up the coast of the Pacific and assailed and destroyed the whaling fleets of the North. After that blow the industry was never pursued with its former vigor. The visits of whalers to these shores grew constantly less, and the Seaman's cause in Hilo waned. In 1867 a minister was sought to act "primarily as Pastor of the foreign community, and secondarily as Seaman's Chaplain." A religious society was formed, and, in February of the following year, "The First Foreign Church of Hilo" was recognized by an ecclesiastical Council. There were fourteen charter members, seven of whom are now living. The church resolved to erect a new building using the stones of the Bethel for its basement. The work was begun Kindergarten, Hilo, and one for the Waiakea Social Settlement. Titus Coan was the first to act as pastor, holding afternoon services after preaching on Sunday mornings to the Hawaiian people. Rev. Frank Thompson was installed in 1869, and Rev. A. O. Forbes, 1K74. Mr. Forbes resigned to accept the position of Secretary of the Hawaiian Board of Missions in 1881, and was succeeded by the Rev. E. P. Baker. Mr. Baker was a lover of Nature, and an enthusiastic student. His research among the volcanoes furnished valuable data for scientists, although he published nothing over his own name. He resigned in 1894, by reason of ill health. On leaving Hilo, he said, with a shade of regret, "The romantic days of Hilo are past." The influx of foreigners with the building of highways, telephonic and railroad lines, has marred the romance of Nature, but not that of missions. We are approaching the noontide of opportunity and responsibility. In the ministry of Rev. C. W. Hill, which followed that of Mr. Baker for four years, the present attractive church edific was erected at a cost of $13,427.44. The funds were se- �13 F THE RIEND cured through the efforts of Mr. C. C. Kennedy and Mr. J. Scott, and a fine pipe organ was installed which was largely the gift of Mr. Alexander Young. The old church building is now doing service as "The Hilo Free Library Buildine" presented for that purpose by Dr. Wetmore. The foundation stones which were of the stones of the old Bethel, still remain to support the new structure and so are thrice dedicated to the worship of God. Rev. J. A. Cruzan succeeded Mr. Hill for four years. During his ministry the membership largely increased: The Rev. Mr. Nash supplied the pulpit for about 9 months. The church then united upon the Rev. Curtis E. Shields, who seems eminently fitted for the place he has been called' to fill. He has entered heartily into fellowship with workers in the field. He has already added strength to the Christian cause in Hilo, and his influence is likely to be felt beyond the circumference of his own pastorate. Mountain View, Hawaii. Teachers. Banner C. E.

In another building are the three school rooms, and on still another side of the lawn court stands a neat cottage which includes the ironing room, store rooms and carriage house. Within the past year these buildings have undergone a thorough renovation which has considerably facilitated the work this year. A most urgent need in the building line just at present is a laundry and bath house. This the girls, teachers and trustees have been diligently working to secure for a long time and a small financial start has already been made, but funds are sorely needed for its completion. The dormitory system, too, is inadequate, and a new dormitory is needed in order to relieve the crowding that is necessary under the present system. Recognizing the fact that the Hawaiian girl of this day, in order to make a living must be proficient in some one thing, the Board of Managers have decided to make the Industrial department of the school a strong feature, and thorough courses in housekeeping, weaving and dressmaking will be offered to girls who will care to use these as a means of making a livelihood. A six years' preparatory course in the common English branches will be required of all girls before entering upon any one of these courses. �THE FRIEND. 14 With a force of earnest and efficient teachers, it is hoped that the girls may leave the institution well fitted to become good home-makers, capable housekeepers, dressmakers, or teachers of weaving. Industrial education demands a certain amount of outlay, and Kohala Girls' School is dependent in a large measure, upon its friends. During the past year the school was generously remembered by gifts from Honolulu merchants and by friends in other parts of the Islands, all of which have helped greatly to further the work. During the present year there has been an enrollment of 52 girls, mostly residents of this Island. Of this number, eight have been entirely or partly selfsupporting, twenty have been paying the full tuition of $50, and the rest have been receiving part tuition from scholarships. All pay at least a small portion of the tuition. The Christian Endeavor Society, still the banner society of the Islands, has g own and extended its work this year and proved its usefulness and helpfulness in many ways. It may surprise many of the friends to know that the school has been able to help itself financially this year to the extent of something over $250 through the weaving, sewing and cooking of the girls. Altogether, we have had great reason to be encouraged. O. L. B. NEWS FROM THE FRONT. By Rev. W. D. Westervelt. There is a Japanese Temperance Society which has been flourishing in Honolulu for some years. It. has about one hundred active members. It is almost impossible to know how many in the past have been members of the organization. Rev. Dr. Cuyler once said about his church in New York, "I am pastor of a flock of pigeons." "A flock of pigeons" is a good illustration of the changes among the Japanese. They gather grain in one field and then hasten on to is an alanother. The result most kaleidoscopic change of faces. There are many members of this Temperance society in other islands, and across the sea in Japan, anl some are probably in the ranks of the Japanese soldiers in China. The chief efforts of this society are directed against sake—the pre-eminent intoxicant among the Japanese. At the same time the members see the tendency among their countrymen to adopt the evil ways of the foreigner. Some Japanese firms have joined the Chribmtas Edition ranks of the wholesale liquor dealers of of THE Honolulu ; therefore this temperance society wages war against the use of American and European liquors of all kinds. There is a growing tendency on the part of our Asiatic population toward emulating "society" in the use of wine at social functions. 1903 The Japanese hold their meetings Eighty-four Pages of Illustramonthly and devote some time to a tions and Articles Pertaining thoughtful discussion of various lines to the Hawaiian Islands. of work.

Rev. T. Okumura, one of the Congregationalist Japanese ministers in Honolulu, used a stereopticon and threw this pledge of the Lincoln Legion on the screen, explaining it thoroughly in Japanese. Then he interested the audience by giving a series of views of the war between Russia and Japan, and made the strong point that sake was a greater and more destructive enemy to Japan than Russia. It destroyed more lives and more property and actually caused the Japanese government a greater financial loss than the war. His argument was practically that government suffers in the poverty of its people. He then gave a series of pictures illustrating the suffering brought into the home life by the use of strong drink. Such evenings pay, and the Japanese are doing more such steady temperance work than any other nationality in these Islands. It would be a blessed thing for Honolulu if the churches of the city would each plan to have a rousing temperance rally at least once a year in their church edifices. 15 FIGURES THAT TALK.

There is little poetry in this constant moving up and down the coast, where mud and dust vie with each other as kings of the road, but no one ever heard him complain. It is a rare treat to entice him to open his experience and unfold a few of his many adventures.

S. this faithful missionary. THE PORTFOLIO. By Wm. L. Whitney. Political interest this month has gathered chiefly about the question of an extra session of the legislature. The reasons put forward for such a call are that our expenditure! are proving too much for our income and that no money is to be had to meet the most pressing needs of the government. It has been known for some time that the Governor was in favor of an extra session to discuss, and, if possible, relieve, the financial difficulties. So futile, however, has it seemed to most of our influential citizens to call together that body of men who have already prov- ed that their abilities lay along spending rather than saving lines that it was not thought at all probable that they would be called U]K>n to show those abilities again. However, we are to have them with us on April sixth next. Since the call was issued, the action of the Governor has been very largely discussed by all members of our society and we have not heard, outside of the scurrilous .little sheet "The Independent," a single voice raised in approval of the course pursued. It will cost the Territory from $25,000 to $40,000 for the actual expense of that body and the amount of harm it is likely to do will, we may rest assured, far outbalance any possible good it will accomplish. The Governor and Secretary have been hard at work along lines of retrenchment, and a difficult task it proves to lie. While to every casual observer it is evident that there are leaks in the government expnditure, it takes a keen, careful and patient worker to find the ways and means of stopping the same. To retrench the governmental monthly expenditure by $30,000 means some severe cutting in all departments, and much ill feel- �THE FRIEND ing among those whose political and official heads must fall. VVe do not doubt that our chief executive has the ability and the courage for the undertaking, but we sincerely wish that he might accomplish that work without the aid of his foolish advisers, the Legislature. Trouble in the Water Works Department, over which Andrew Brown has so long presided, has finally ended in the consolidation of that department with the Public Works Department. The trouble arose over a certain defalcation of a clerk by the name of Vivian Richardson, who, overcome by the passion for gambling, stole heavily from the department safe to make good his losses at the game. Whether Mr. Brown endeavored to shield the young man or through pity decided on his own responsibility to give him another chance, the theft was not reported to headquarters. The Governor, when the affair was finally run to earth, decided that the protection of the people's money demanded severe measures with anyone connected with public dishonesty, and Mr. Brown was requested to resign. In the courts the only matter of general interest has been the futile attempt to securea jury totry the murderer Jones. The entire panel, consisting of two hundred and fifty names, as provided by our new jury law, was exhausted and from the whole number twelve men could not be found who in the eyes of the law were competent to try the prisoner. Whether it is necessary to try such a man before a jury in very truth his peers seems as yet somewhat doubtful, but it has certainly been made evident that a man with intelligence enough to read the daily papers and logic enough to form an opinion is not a fit man for the jury. It is simply another proof of the inefficiency of our present system of administering justice. There is not a competent lawyer on the bench or before the bar who does not condemn the system as it exists today and who will not say that it is an instrument of injustice far oftener than of justice. But we are bound hand and foot by years of precedent, precedent which had its birth in an age when the institution was the protector of the liberties of the people, and this generation at least will pass away before the jury and its absurdities shall cease. As to the case in hand, unless the prosecution can obtain a change of venue it appears that there will be no trial, for in this small community there can scarcely be found any man more likely to be competent jurors than the panel of this term. In business circles, the outlook is far from encouraging. The commercial reports have recorded little but failures this month Institutions which we have known for many years have succumbed to the hard times and have assigned to creditors. McChesney and Sons, an old established business house has finally wound up its affairs. The Kona Sugar Company, which this month likewise suspended operations, was the cause of the failure of the house. It is the same old story of a load too heavy to be borne, of too extensive investments, of an in- flated credit and the evils which attach thereto. Hart and Company, Ltd., the largest confection, bakery and restaurant house in the city, has likewise given up the struggle and passes into the bands of its creditors. David Lawrence and Co., Ltd., the largest tobacconists of the 'Territory, have been declared bankrupt and the buisness will he closed up as soon as possible. Several other institutions have changed management in an attempt to weather the storm which does not ap- pear to abate as the months pass. The death of Henry Waterhouse, our respected, beloved and honored citizen and the reorganization of the trust com pany which bears his name, has taken from the active business life of the community a name as old, almost, as the town itself, and as well known and as highly spoken of as any in the Mainland. In the loss of Henry Waterhouse. the community lost a most valuable man and the natives a sincere friend. Few men have given their time, their energies and their wealth in all good works as he did, and we who knew him even slightly feel that we have lost a friend 17 be replaced among the sons of men. The magnificient project of Pacific Heights, the dream of Chas. Desky, has fallen. Mr. Desky sunk a large fortune in the scheme, has given to Honolulu its most beautiful suburb, has worked early and late to make the plan a success, and now must pass it over to another to reap the benefits ofhis toil. Mr. Chas. Booth, the former owner of the barren hillside which has been made thus to blossom as the rose, takes back the land still unsold in satisfaction of the mortgage given at the time of the purchase. What will become of the electric road which gives to the suburbanites their only means of transportation is as vet unsettled. It is hoped that the Rapid Transit Company wiil take unto itself this pioneer electric road of Hawaii. Captain Rodman, U. S. N., in his evidence in a certain law suit, has given us a most exact estimate of the availability of Pearl Harbor as an open port. Briefly, he states that in bis opinion, and no one is better able to judge of such matters than he, it would be safe for a sailing vessel of five hundred tons (about the size of the little tubs which ply between the ports of this island) with proper steam assistance to get into the harbor. Also that a steamer of a thousand tons might with care be led through the tortuous channel. It does not therefore appear likely that we shall lose the Korea or the Siberia from our Honolulu docks for the immediate present. not soon to The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Interest from Various ly, as it has been received by many of the Honolulu ladies as a letter.

Having regained that, for which I am very thankful, I have for a year been a governess in a private family here.

From Dr. Frank A. Lyman of Madison, Wis., came a copy of the Wisconsin State Journal of February 27, 1904, containing a full account of the destruction by fire of the beautiful capitol building, which has been the pride and glory of Madison and the State. The loss was a million dollars, and there was no insurance. "The fire is believed to have been caused from a gas jet in a cloak room on the second floor, near the assembly room. The flames spread rapidly and by 10 a. m., little was left of the splendid building but the great dome, and the ruined walls, whose architectural beauty seemed enhanced when stripped of roof and wood-work. The north end alone was saved." "The big capitol fire would undoubtedly have been averted, had the water supply not failed. When the fire broke out the capitol employees prepared to use the hydrants and hose which are stationed about the building. When the nozzles were turned on, the water failed to come. The water for the capitol is supplied from the big tank at the University. It is said at the time the fire occurred, one of the engineers at the university was in the act of cleaning the boilers, and when the demand for water came the tanks were empty, and none could be supplied." The loss of Wisconsin Grand Army was the most deplorable beyond the price of money to replace. All the of the Post, and many invalurelics of battlefields.

The loss which touched the hearts of young and old most deeply was the destruction of the grand old Wisconsin eagle, "Old Abe," who had been in the whole war with the Wisconsin companies. It will give every one a pleasure who has seen the picture of the Triplets in the January Friend, to hear a few words about them, from the pen of their grandmother, Mrs. Frances E. Loomis. She writes, Feb. 28, 1904: "Just before Christmas Edward" (her youngest child) "and I went to Mattoon, 111., to visit the children and grandchildren. E. had neyer seen his little nephews, and we could get holiday rates, so, contrary to my usual judgment about jaunting in winter weather, went." The result of which trip was a very severe attack of grippe, which had delayed her from answering earlier the receipt of The Friend which had reproduced the picture of the boys. Speaking of that, she says: '"We were surprised and delighted to receive The Friend, with the 'write up' about the babies and incidentally of ourselves. Edward said 'it was the chance of my life to get my picture in a paper.' How good the pictures are, too! Louise was so pleased with her copy, and said she was saving it for the boys when they grow up. And those funny little boys! 1 just wish you could see them. They are a perpetual picnic to watch. They are here and there, and everywhere ail at once. Generally very happy and contented, but of course they have their troubles at times. When I was there they did not walk except by holding on to our hands. 'Now they scamper all over the house,' their mother writes." We cannot forbear giving here a further extract from the grandmother's letter: "In Louise's kitchen she had about half of the floor carpeted, and when any of them got over on to the bare floor, she would say, 'Dead line!' and they would flop over on to the carpet again. Their sister, little Frances, enjoys brushing her brothers' hair, and one day she left the brush on the floor. Dale and Dean were sitting near each other, and Dale picked up the hair brush, which was a large one. He hit his brother Dean quite a hard hit on the head with it, and Dean cried out. Dale was evidently pleased with the result, for he hit him again. This time Dean made no sound, but leaned over, took the brush and tossed it back over his own shoulder, and waited for what he knew would happen. Dale lifted up his voice with wrath, and Dean calmly watched him. Donald was in the dining room, and at the noise he came scampering out as fast as he could creep, to see what it was all about. He looked at them a moment, and then went to the toy-basket, got each a new Christmas block, and handed one to each ; and peace and order was restored. Their mother rarely interferes with their little scraps, but lets them settle their differences as best they may." The Alameda's mail brought a copy of the Kalamazoo, Mchigan, Evening Telegraph, in which was a marked paragraph of the funeral of Mrs. B. B. Bowman. A few sentences from this we transfer: "Mrs. Bowman died Feb. 25th, 1904, at her residence, 314 West Cedar St. Her end was peaceful. She fell into slumber, and slept her life away, as her daughter, Lucy, watched at her bedside. The interment by Mr. Bowman's side in Riverside Cemetery, occurred Saturday afternoon."

The gifts of the churches are not in yet and there are some excellent prospects in view of promised gifts. But "prospects" will not lift the debt. Let us believe God and put our hands right down in our pockets deep, T. R. Governor Carter's Triumph. ** * *' * * was facing practical bankruptcy. But after all the dominating factor in this bit of history was Governor Carter. From the outset of his career he has sensed the situation. The old regime had become simply intolerable. The Provisional Government dream of a ruling aristocracy, a benevolent despotism, the embodiment in politics of the old-time deacon's prayer, "God bless me and my wife, brother John and his wife, us four and no more," was shattered forever into atoms by the Organic Act. Those most affected thereby had been sulking the other hand, had found in the Act the promise of gratifying the long pent up passion for revenge. So things went from bad to worse and culminated in the financial deadlock. Governor Carter saw that both sides must begin to pull together as brothers. It was an intuition worthy of his missionary blood and marked him by nature of the true missionary stock. Himself the one man hardest hit by the old feud in the eleath of a member of his family, the holding out of the olive branch meant business. The natives realized this at once, and the response was genuine and enthusiastic. Governor Carter struck the keynote when he declared that he wanted to hear no more talk about "Hawaiians," because now all of us are Americans. Thank God the era of distrust is over, let us hope forever. We are part of the United States, members of the one great race that is slowly forming out of all human strains —the American race. The press announces that the Home Rule party is dead. Peace to its ashes. Let us now divide on issues of political theory and policy, the race hatchet buried forever on these fair Islands. All honor to our Governor for leading us to this happy consummation. Tory On March 22 Honolulu's leading elaily—which by the way is edited with a conspicuous ability that not a few mainland metropolitan journals of far greater reputation might well envy —expressed its sentiments as follows: "The Governor cannot afford to bet thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money that a Legislature which went back on all its pledges to them will keep its promises to him. But he has chosen to do so in the terms of a proclamation calling a special session and must make the best of it. So must the Of people who will foot the bills. course the experiment will fail. There cannot be grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles, and a Legislature which was redolent of scandal during its regular and extra sessions and which three grand juries in succession have denounced, cannot be depended on to reform the methods of spending Territorial money." The dominant element in the Territory, composed of its most thoughtful, public-spirited citizens, were almost unanimously in accorel with these sentiments. On April 6 the Legislature convened. It remained in session twelve, days, adjourning April 19. On the 14th the same journal we have quoted above said "The Legislature is redeeming itself. It has risen to the emergency and seems to be honestly striving to put the Territory on a businesslike basis." Two days later it added, "The work so far accomplished by the Legislature has been well done. The members have neglected no duty." The day after the adjournment it declared, "The record is very creditable." And indeed it was, for by saving the Land Court the Legislature improved upon the message of the Governor, which the Advertiser fitly characterized as "One of the most aelmirable Executive papers we have ever read." What was the cause of this unexpected denouement? Undoubtedly the sobering consideration that a failure to respond to the call of duty would discredit beyond recall the present generation of Hawaiians, and that Congress might find itself compelleel to curtail the privileges of manhood suffrage conferred on all the citizenship of these Islands, contributed not a little to the happy result. To this must be added the gravity of a situation in which the Terri- : No. c - Mills' Victory. The instinct of Young America in exalting athletics is one of the surest evidences of health in our national life. If the frightful pace set by the conditions of modern existence is to be maintained without annihilating the species or reducing the descendant of the civilized man of today to the level of the inheritor of the civilization of ancient Babylon or Egypt, it must be on the one hand by relieving the strain �THE FRIEND, 4 anel on the other by strengthening ideal consiilcratie>ns at the expense eif the mere' sordid claims of success. In the United State's the battle of present-day civilization is being fought out mure fiercely than any where else on the globe. Here among the picked representatives of the youth of the nation, in our colleges and universities, the problem mastered anil a solution is being found. On the side, of relief of strain the American answer to the question, how survive in this intense struggle, is athletics; on the side of ielealism its contribution is the passion for social service. In their developing manifestations both are intensely and characteristically American. When, therefore, in such a community as ours a victory after a well-contested game in the distinctively national sport of baseball like that of the Chinese boys of Mills Institute over the veterans of Kamehameha announced, thoughtful people, was who hael given no attention to the quiet little school off Fort street, awoke to the conviction that suelelcnly here' was an institution doing yeoman's work for the nation. The victory itself is quite out of the usual, for the Mills boys arc crowded in the center of town with no playground whatever, being condemned to finel a practice place here and there at any oelel spot which chance may offer. If it hael been Japanese who won, the surprise would not have been so great. These Chinese boys arc amone lis to stay. In a few years they will be citizens of the Union. It is of immense importance that they be true Americans. The game of April 18 showed them to be in the direct line of such an evolution. Hawaii is to be congratulated upon this sign of the wisdom of her wav of dealing with the problem of alien races. Honolulu, unlike San Francisco, welcomes the yellow brother, treats him like a brother, anel proceeds to make an American of him. Some day the nation will be converted to our way of ntanacring folks of differing skins but of one common humanity. Meantime our congratulations po out most heartily to the authorities of Mills Institute. Tt is time that Honolulu neonle awake to the consciousness that this moelest school is doing as fine a bit of work as is done anywhere in the Territory. Rumor has it that the Institute desicrns to move to larger onarlers. Tt certainly should do so. There ourdit to be no difficulty in niacin? this snlendid enterprise on a firm financial basis with an endowment of at least $100,000. Who will start off in this elirection? Bmtse FtrohJanpeAs gain. couraging returns seems Utopian, but the Japanese is nothing if ne>t given to surprises. A war threatening the very existence of his nation bursts upon him. At home nothing unusual is seen, the quiet every-elay round moves on.the country seems at peace while the pulse of the world is stirred over victories that would set any other people wild. Abroad, the Sunrise citizen responds to the call of his nation, swears off his little indulgences, such as take and tobacco, converts them into cash anel sends it home to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But this is not all. If he be a Christian he enlists for a sturdier campaign under his new Master. So here in Honolulu, when the white people's churches are bemoaning lessened resources and depleted audiences, the Japanese plan a forward movement in religious work, pledge larger contributions than ever, fit up a dwelling as an assembly hall (because money to build a meeting house is not to be thought of) equip it with an attractive reaeling room, in addition to a tasteful little audience chamber, and open it every day in the week for the business of winning men to Christ. When the Oahn Association met here the second week in April. the company of Christians who had done all this under the leadership of Rev. Mr. Okumura applied for organization, anel after full examination they were duly recognized by council as the Makiki Congregational church. Twice every month these enthusiastic citizens of Dai Nippon take up offerings to be divided equally between the Hawaiian F.oarel for Home Missions anel the American Board for Foreign Missions. The Friend congratulates the new church anel wishes it God spceel anil invites all its rcaelcrs to drop in at 1302 Kinau street some elav anel see this wideawake enterprise. Among its other developments is a children's church, modeleel on one such institution on the mainland.

During the past month we have hael enir authorities calleel to time twice feir lax enforcement of law, once by the Anti-Saloon League anel more latterly in a splendid anti-gambling sermon by Bishop Restanck. It will be remembered that our Governor came out characteristically with a ringin? endorsement of the demands made by the League. But what is more needed even than such an utterance is the stirring of the public conscience. Serious crimes against the person are becoming all too common in this community. Such offenses are fostereel by everything that tends to brutalize, and what is more beastializing in tendency than prize fighting? It is always cursed with the gambling spirit. Its very basis is usually a gamble, each man or his hackers putting up money to he won, the defeated contestant losing both his stake anel his reputation for prowess with absolutely no equivalent. It is always the pitting of manhood versus dollars, the fighters, the promoters and the spectators suffering a ioss of manhood in every encounter. No one who views a prize fight but throws away with his money something of his higher nature. Those who engineer it and those who act as principals likewise barter character for gold. The entire effect is evil, debauching boys anel young men, sowing the seeds of our national sin —the determination to get without giving. To attempt to suppress! gambling while licensing prize-fighting is but another exhibition of Mrs. Partington's mop. Revelations of a Card Catalog. The Hawaiian Boarel carel catalog of all the Japanese Christians connected with its work em these Islanels is in process of compilation, Several interesting disclosures are resulting.

Undoubtedly this attitude of friendliness will mean no little financial assistance to us in the future. But it is likely that this will take the form of aid in enlarging our Japanese anel Chinese elepartments though this may not be possible for a year or two. We cannot therefore count upon the reduction of enir debt by assistance from either of these organizations. We are therefore thrown back upon our own resources. There can be ne> doubt that if all friends of the Hawaiian Boarel in the Territory should come to its assistance by giving generously, this debt could be cleareel off at once. If this be not done the work of the Boarel must be cut so that expenses may be adjusted to income. Alreaely this policy of curtailment has been' pursued ruthlessly. To reduce expenses further there remains no other alternative than to let some eif our force go. Already the Boarel has been compelled to forego the services of Messrs. Lcadington and Emerson.

The constituency of the Board therefore faces this alternative; either let the deficit of $12,000 be paid now and the Board find assurance in this guarantee of interest that it may go forward on its present basis or failing this let radical office curtailment be made sufficient to bring its expenditures next year into correspondence with its probable receipts. The constituency of the Board now has the opportunity to express its opinion as to which course must be pursued. Checks will mean "Go ahead." Silence will say "Cut deeper." OUR SCHOOL PROBLEM. Why should the Hawaiian Board and its constituency maintain schools for Hawaiians, Japanese and Chinese? This question is being seriously asked by many friends of the Board during this period of financial stringency. In answering it the subject must be divided. Under this I. As to Havmiians. head the objection to the Board schools assumes a twofold nature, the first of which puts the query, Do not the public schools suffice ? They do not. Last year a visit was made to the public school in P in company with the government physician. The doctor had a list of the pupils and asked the teacher to check off those who had already been vaccinated. The teacher did so, putting the letters "Es" opposite the names of the children who had passed through the doctor's hands. Finally the physician glanced over the paper and suggested that "Yes" might be more correct. This school is clearly an exception, but for the Hawaiians in P it certainly does not suffice. Again the government schools do not and cannot furnish the adequate industrial training required by young Hawaiians. Furthermore our Board schools aim to educate Christian leaders. The story of the graduates of the Hilo, Lahaina, Kohala, Makawao, and Kawaiahao schools shows that, notwithstanding instances which dishearten, this function has been performed with distinguished success. The record of upright men and saintly women who have graduated from these institutions is a notable one. Without them the Hawaii of to-day would not have been possible. But—and here comes the second line of objection—why not leave all this work to the Kamehameha schools? For two reasons, one of which is that Kamehameha is crowded now and cannot care for any more. To shut our schools would be to send nearly all their pupils back to their homes. The second reason is that a school comes to possess a character of its own which none other can have. Such a character is of slow growth, the sue- — — cession of unselfish teachers and of faithful students and alumni giving it a spirit peculiar to itself. To sacrifice this spirit is a distinct loss to the world. No true Vale or Harvard graduate would for a moment favor the suspension of an Amherst, a Williams or a Wesleyan because forsooth the larger institutions could accommodate the additional students and so promote economy. The United States would be a serious loser by any such fatal procedure. No, our schools have entered into the life blood of this Territory, and to abandon them would be treason to the higher life of Hawaii. Out of just such little struggling academies all over the United States have come many of the great leaders of our nation. 2. As to Our Asiatic Brethren. Farsighted Japanese and Chinese see clearly that large numbers of the children of their races, born here, are destined never to return to their parents' native land. Some may go for special work in teaching, preaching or business, but most of them are being unfitted by the very conditions of their training here for successful careers in Asia. They are nativeborn Americans and will become citizens of their mother land. No careful student of the problem who knows China or Japan will for a moment endeavor to controvert this proposition. Most of these children are here to stay. They attend our public schools, as they should, and thus grow into American ways and habits of thought. But unfortunately Hawaii is not in close touch with the great American public, and the government schools of this Territory, excellent though they are, cannot for a moment be compared with those of the mainland as nurseries of the spirit of the nation. Our public schools need to be supplemented if these children are to grow up loyal, intelligent citizens. Unfortunately they are being supplemented ; but how ? So far as the Japanese are concerned, this work is done by Buddhist schools. The Japanese are intensely loyal, and cannot bear to see their children lose the use of their native tongue. To this feeling Hawaii is bound to owe much in the future. We shall need here for the next ioo years at least a large body of citizens conversant with Japanese as well as English. But the Buddhist school in Hawaii is a protest against Americanism. Forced by the nature of the case to secure support by appeal to prejudice, it commits the mistake of arousing in the hearts of young and old the age-long anti-foreign spirit which for centuries kept Japan out of touch with its sister nations. The flag of the Buddhist school is the red sun in the white field; its motto is distrust of the foreigner, its chief lesson is to keep alive the spirit of Japan at the expense of the American spirit. These schools are educating American citizens, who have no instinctive love for America. Now the patriotic, educated Japanese Christian gentlemen in the service of the Board as evangelists believe this a shortsighted policy. Here and there on the plantations they have felt themselves compelled to protest against this narrow mindedness by themselves organizing schools to teach the children of their race Japanese; but these schools make loyalty to the United States a cardinal virtue. Their principle is not "love Japan less," but "love America more." The children they train are as ardent in their affection for the land of their parents as their fellows in the Buddhist schools, but they also yield to no child, white, yellow or brown, in their devotion to their own native country. In these schools the Stars and Stripes are intertwined wTith the emblem of the Rising Sun. The pupils sing with equal ardor "Kimi ga yo" and "America." Best of all, they are taught to grow up as Christians. In both Buddhist and Christian schools the teaching is done outside of public school hours. The schools which the Board helps maintain are of this order. In two instances—Honolulu and Honomu —the schools have a boarding department and care for children who in the camps would be exposed to most serious evil influences. These two institutions are doing a work the results of which for the future good of this Territory are simply incalculable. Latterly the Puunene plantation, realizing the fatuity of cooperating with Buddhists, as so many corporations are doing, has assisted the Japanese to build and equip a first-class institution there on condition that the teacher be a Christian. The Board has by request temporarily placed a university graduate at Puunene, and will secure as his successor a couple of trained workers from Japan. These will be entirely supported by the plantation management and its Japanese employees. In all this school work for Japanese the expense of the Board is never heavier than the item of the support of teachers, and often not even that, the Japanese gladly bearing all or part of the salaries. Unfortunately these plantation schools are as yet few in number and in the towns need to be supplemented by other instrumentalities. The best possible agency for larger communities isthesettlement. Of these there are two in connection with the work of our Board, one at Wailuku, the other in Hilo at Waiakea. Here in Honolulu the Japanese Christian Club and Mills Institute serve the same purpose. In fact the Board plans to have every church on the Islands under its care a social center. In �these Settlements and centers all sorts of enterprise calculated to foster the upbuilding of character and the inculcation of Americanism such as boys' brigade or drill work, citizenship clubs, athletics, industrial classes anel the exercise of direct religious influence are maintained. For Chinese boys and girls Hilo Boarding School and Mills Seminary, Kohala, Makawao and Kawaiahao, all of which also welcome Japanese students, are doing excellent work in helping to prepare an intelligent Christian citizenship for the Hawaii of the future. Let any doubter make a careful, firsthand study of the schools and settlements connected with the Hawaiian Board and he will pass through an experience analagous to that of the writer who, beginning with no little skepticism as to the value of maintaining so extensive an educational department, has step by step been forced to the conclusion that the work done in this line constitutes the Boarel's first claim upon the support of public spirited citizens and that every other branch of its many-sided enterprise might better be sacrificed than this D. S. one. A VOICE FROM THE ANTIPODES Newleigh, Private Hotel, Mandeville, Ja., March 28, 1904. To the Manager of The Friend: It has given me much satisfaction to read your editorial in the March number anent Gov. Carter. It places him in a light that I think every well wisher of Hawaii's best interests would have him to be. A friend of the people, and yet conservative as to the means by which the best interests can be conserved and carried out. If he can by his advice and his sympathy so gain the confidence of the voters as to secure a respectable, responsible Legislature he will do much to relieve Hawaii from the stigma under which she rests before the people of this country, who wish to see the Island Government occupy the position that the friends here of the now Territory of the U. S. would have it hold, as the fruit of all that has been done and expended to give Hawaii an honorable position before the world by our people. The seed so faithfully sown by the mission fathers should bear a rich harvest of American principles. Yours truly, GORHAM D. GILMAN. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII. By 4. S. E. Bishop. The door opened by the death of Kaiiichamcha and the Abolition of Idolatry. At the same time that the movement was culminating in New England in consequence of the Obookiah call to sentl the Gospel to Hawaii, another movement was in progress in the contemplated mission field which wonderfully removed the chief obstacles to the entrance and success of that mission. Never was there a more marked or conspicuous instance of the interposing of the Divine Hand to prosper God's work. The greatest obstacle to be feared by the Christian missionaries was in the inveterate attachment of the aged king to his ancient religion. They came to supplant that religion by the law anel worship of the one true and Living God. To this purpose they had every reason to expect the most determined hostility of the imperious king. To their woneler and gratituele the first news they heard on arriving was that Kamehameha was dead; the tabus were abolished; the idols were destroyed. "Kamehameha died," says Alexaneler, "May 8, 1819, at the age of 82 years, and in the faith of his ancestors. His faults were those of the age anel society in which he lived, and both morally and mentally he stood far above the chiefs of his times." When dying he humanely refused the proposal of the priests to sacrifice a number of human victims in oreler to prolong his life. We may humbly hope that such a humane, though heathen, soul found grace and mercy from the teneler Father of Mankind. During the following months the Tabu system crumbled to ruin under the powerful influence of the queen Premier Kaahumanu, seconded by the Queen-Mother Keopuolani. They gradually persuaded the heedless and dissolute young king, Liholiho, to join them in destroying the tabus by publicly feasting with the queens and a large company of both sexes. Seeing no evil follow, the multitutles rejoiced in the breaking of the cruel restrictions. The whole system of idol-worship fell to ruin jointly with the tabus. The high priest, Hewahewa, set the example of setting fire to the idols and their sanctuaries. Under Kaahumanu's lead, there followed a grand conflagration of idols throughout the Islands, with a jubilee of revelry. The nation stood without religion or gods. Yet the old gods had one valiant champion, Kekuaokalani, the nephew of Kamehameha, to whom he had committed the care of his trusted war-god, Kukailimoku. This prince, with a considerable following, revolted against the profane and desecrating king and queens, but was destroyed in a fierce battle at Kuamoo, four miles north of Kaawaloa, in Kona. This was about Dec. 20, 1819, 7 THE FRIEND while the voyaging missionaries were off the coast of Brazil. It was a time of great convulsie>n and fears throughout the nation. A prominent ageel native of Lahaina, Poholopu, told tire present writer in 1881, how his parents prevented him from visiting the beach in August, 1819, from elreael of the public commotion anel war then in progress on Hawaii. Poholopu was the only available witness to testify to the exact location of Dc Freycinet's masonry base for pendulum observations at the elate named. It had been deemed necessary to repeat such observations on the same spot. The then youth Poholopu saw the spot but once, owing to the fears of his parents. So when the Gospel arriveel, the great revolution was complete anel the eloor was fully openeel for the new light. Leaeling causes of that momentous revolution were familiarity with foreign visitors, knowledge of their contempt for heathen superstitions, anil the report of the abandonment of the same religion by the kindreel people of the Society Islands. But these causes were unavailing as long as the oltl conqueror livcel. Kamehameha was profoundly attached to the ancient religion. Worship of the old gods hael been the keynote e>f his policy and his success. And it fe>nneel an essential part of his policy of government. He ruled his people largely through their superstitious fears. The priests were his chief allies in the exercise of arbitrary power. For many centuries kingcraft anel priestcraft had been helping each other, while priestcraft hael been developed anel fortifieel by powerful importations of fresh cults from Tahiti. Had Kamehameha lived, the Gospel could hardly have found entrance to Hawaii. It would have at once collieleel with the king's establisheel policy, and with the obstinacy of olel age. Ineleeel the natural tendency of Christian Light was to restrict and impair arbitrary anil despotic power. It is well known how diligently two later kings, Kamehameha Y. and Kalakaua, sought to resist constitutional restrictions by re-establishing the superstitious fears of the Hawaiians in promoting and systematizing the ancient sorcery, and so bringing the voters into political bondage. The old conqueror was adept in this kingcraft, and could not have surrendered to Christianity.. His death was a provielential event, timed to meet the incoming of the new teachers. And their arrival was still farther timely as promptly occupying the vacated field of religion before the antagonistic religion of Rome coulel take possession. Forerunners of that religion had already reached Hawaii.

In the wonderfully kind and wise Providence of God, everything wrought for the speedy Redemption of Hawaii. MEETING OF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. ANNUAL Rev. W. D. Westervelt. A goodly gathering of interested temperance workers filled the Y. M. C. A. hall Thursday evening, April 7, to elect officers and listen to reports and addresses of the third annual meeting of the Honolulu Anti-Saloon League. Rev. P. M. Snodgrass of the Christian church reael the minutes of last meeting, and Rev. E. S. Timoteo offered prayer in Hawaiian. Dr. Mitamura reporteel for the Japanese Mr. W. A. Temperance Societies. Bowen presented the Treasurer's report, which was very encouraging. No effort had been put forth toward securing large subscriptions, yet all expenses had been met and enough money is in sight to pay the probable expenses of the coming year. The laws of Hawaii pertaining to the use of intoxicating liquors, The History of Temperance in the Hawaiian Islands, by Mrs. Whitney, translated into Hawaiian; "Temperanza." a booklet in Portuguese by Rev. A. Y. Soares; "The Teaching of' the Apostles," translated into Hawaiian by W. D. Westervelt, and a number of leaflets have been widely cirThe retiring culated eluring the year. president in his address called attention to the strong position taken by the missionary fathers in regard to immorality and intemperance. The fact was emphasized that the failure to heed the warning concerning the two greatest foes of the people was bringing rapid death upon the Hawaiians as a race, and that both of these enormous evils needed to be recognizeel as the deadly enemies they are in truth. The apathy of the public toward the continued decimation of the Hawaiians was pointed out as one of the most serious hinelrances in the way of bringing life, rather than death, into the land. Rev. Doremus Scudeler, D. D., delivered the address of the evening on "Our Warfare." After referring to personal experiences in the Eastern States, he discussed various methods of providing substitutes for the saloon ; then strongly advocated "local option," which coulel be so applied as to be a never-ending warfare, creating discussion and agitation. The education of children by this means was one of the best of all the results. The struggle of the temperance people against the saloon, and the strife of the saloon to maintain its hold upon the appetites and pocket books of the community, necessarily bring all the different phases of the temperance question before the children and youth. It is a splendid education both of mind and character. The young people form the habit of having pronounced opinions and of being able to give the reasons therefor. Primarily the effort put forth is to close saloons. Nevertheless, the education of the people is probably of more real benefit. Dr. Scudder closed by mentioning the well-known fact that intoxicants are shipped to the different plantations, and then emphasized earnestly the illustration, given by Dr. Mitamura, earlier in the evening, of a Japanese contractor on one of the plantations who kept sake entirely out of the camp under his control. These small club saloons on the plantations are illegal, and ought not to have the connivance of the owners and managers of plantations. PORTUGUESE PROGRESS. The Easter service at our church was well attended anel the Easter music by the choir was very well rendered. Although we did not have such an elaborate programme as usual on such occasions, the Sunday school Easter service which consisted of special songs anel the reaeling of Easter stories, was enjoyed by the large number present. We are now preparing to observe Children's Day, and as this service will take place during the Sunday school hour, half past two o'clock, we woulel be pleased to have our friends visit our school. We continue our street and cottage meetings. Have just returned from one, held in a house which was once a grocery store on Luso street. The doors and windows on the street were filled with chilelren and grown people. We were agreeably surprised to see one who was formerly most bitter against us, listening attentively at one of the windows. A very pretty wedding was solemnized at our church on the 18th inst. Miss May Melim and Mr. George Madeira were the happy couple. The bride has been one of "our girls" almost from the beginning of our mission. Many Roman Catholics were present and were impressed with the marriage service. very bail roads the attenelance was somewhat smaller than usual. The time was elevoteel mostly to a study of special portions of the Sermon on the Mount, sermon outlines anel criticism, and reports from the churches. Regular quarterly Sunday School exhibitions were helel on the last Sunday in March at Lihue, Kapaa anel Hanalei, and indicated much activity and faithful work in Sunday-school matters. The Haena church is to have an individual communion service to be "just like yours at Lihue." Such is the influence of example! The various Kauai Sunday schools are making preparations for a monster Sunday school exhibition at Lihue in June, in connection with the annual meeting of the Evangelical Association. Special Easter services of a responsive and musical character largely were held at Lihue, Koloa and Elecle, and were largely attendeel. Mr. J. C. Davis, principal of the Hanalei government school, deserves much credit for his efforts to improve the condition of the Hanalei .Sunday school. Much beloved by the children, he has great influence over them, and has largely increased the efficiency of the school. The people of Kalihikai are patiently working away on their plan of a chapel to meet local neeels, anel it begins to look as though their efforts would be crowned by success. On the evening of March 27 the "Wainiha club" gave a very unique entertainment in the Hanalei church for the benefit of the Haena church. It consisted largely of original "tableaux," many of them extravagantly but unconsciously amusing. Among more modern halfwhite adaptations, there were some historic and mythical Hawaiian scenes of uncommon interest. As the aelmission was only 25 cents anel the entertainment lasted till midnight, people got their moneys worth. The club has been requested to give the entertainment later in Lihue. J. M. L. A WELL-EARNED VACATION Before our next issue Rev. E. W. Thwing and family will be on their way to the coast to enjoy a vacation of three months. For four years Mr. Thwing has labored in season and out to advance the interests of the Chinese work, and the Board has fittingly voiced its appreciation of his faithfulness by granting him leave of absence. KAUAI NOTES We trust he and his family will enjoy The Kauai "Ministers' School" met on their rest time most thoroughly ane the 18th of March in regular bimonthly return in September full of health and session. Owing to inclement weather and renewed vigor. �FIFTEEN YEARS AGO I wandered to the grog shop, Tom, I stood beside the bar, And drank a bowl of lemonade and smoked a bad cigar; The same old kegs anel jugs were there, the ones we used to know When we were on the round-up, Tom, some fifteen years ago. I asked about our old-time friends, those cherished sporty men, And some were in the poorhouse, Tom, and some were in the pen. And one, the one we likeel the best, the hangman laid him low; The world is much the same, dear Tom, as fifteen years ago. New crowds line up against the bar, anel call for crimson ink; New hands are trembling as they pour the stuff they shouldn't drink ; But still the same old watchword rings, "This round's on me, you know!" The same old cry of doom we heard some fifteen years ago. I wandered to the churchyard, Tom, and there I saw the graves Of those who used to drown themselves in red fermented waves; And there were women sleeping there, where grass and daisies grow, Who wept and died of broken hearts some fifteen years ago. And there were graves where children slept, have slept for many a year, Forgetful of the woes that markeel their fitful sojourn here ; And 'neath a tall, white monument, in death there lieth low, The man who used to sell the booze some fifteen years ago. J. S. Holden in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. AMONG THE BOYS. Mr. Henry Martin, whose picture appeared in a recent number of the Friend is somewhat of a mystery. He cabled his acceptance of the position as head of the Boy work in the city and a letter following confirmed the cable. In this letter he stated that his plan was to come the last of March. Since that time no word of the absent has been heard. Attempts have been made to get in communication with him which have so far proved ineffectual. The management of the Boys' Clubs have given up the expectation of his coming and have attempted to notify him to that effect. Days.—Notwithstanding the I Field 'very bad weather which prevailed almost up to the sixteenth of the month there was a large crowd to witness the Field Day program, and they appeared to be much pleased with the result. Of course Kamehameha had a comparatively easy victory, but this was as it should be, for the boys had worked conscientiously and earned the results. The cup, which goes to the winner every year until some club will have won it three years in succession, has already been left at Kamehameha. The occasion of the presentation was the following Saturelay night, when the boys haei a little jollification to celebrate Kamehameha Victorious. The Boys' Field Day.—This was even more of a success from our point of view. Five Boys' Clubs took part in a double Field Day on the 23d oi April; the juniors running off their events first which were followed by those of the seniors. For the juniors the Palama Club won and for the seniors a club called the River Sides. A tremendous stimulus to athletic sports has been given by this meet and next year there will be twice the amount of interest which will extend to the Field Day of the young men of the city. Among the features of the Boys' Meet was the absence of "kicking," freedom from offensive language and the successful effort to keep tobacco off the grounds as far as the boys are concerned. As to finances, the management can report that the results were satisfying. There is still a elebt of about $ioex> on the fence anel grandstand which it is hoped will be lifted this year. The method of raising this money is largely by means of a series of entertainments besides receipts fremi the field itself. To be sure it is still hoped that the field will be largely free,—certainly as far as the boys of the city are concerned. Still the running expenses must be met, and the present thought is to charge a small sum for scats in the grand Stand whenever games of any importance are to be played, For instance, the games of the Junior league may be played there. In that case admission to the grounds wijl be free, but for seats in the stand there will be charged each person, say the sum of 10 cents. The entertainments spoken of whereby money is to be raised, are first, the Open Air Concert at Kamehameha; half the proceeds are to go for the above purposes. The second events constitute the beginning of a May Musical Festival in Honolulu. The "Congress of Song" as it is felicitously called, has been launched under the auspices of the Oahu College, with Prof. Barton in charge of the music. Choruses from Oahu College, Kamehameha Manual and Girls' Schools, Kawaiahao Seminary, the High School, the Normal School and Mills Institute, making an aggregate strength of about 400 in the grand choruses. This is the largest body of singers brought together in the Islands, certainly of late 9 THE FRIEND years. The second event of the Festival is the Competitive Singing of the Public Schools of the city, under the efficient direction eif Mrs. Tucker. This event is to be an OUt-of-door event anel a stanel has been built to accommodate the 6eTO children who will sing together anel in competition. Perhaps this is the most important attempt to provide out-of-ele)e>r singing ever trieel here anel under the most picturesque contlitions. It is probable that the Boys' Fielel will be well croweleel on that occasion (the afternoon of the 28th of May) anel the effort is being made to provide seats feir all. The stand is being arrangeel se) that a chorus of 100 will be heard elistinctly all around that part of the spacious ground and the 600 will be heard anyhow. So the new grounds will subserve very wide purposes, but in all cases the boys and girls of the city will be directly benefited. Every afternoon boys swarm all over the field and the difficulty is going te> be to accommodate different clubs with elates in which to play their I ■ R. games. NEW DEPARTURE AT HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. The experiment, of the formation of a class for Bible study, composed of the English-speaking portion of emr school, comprising about fifty students, is proving a successful one anel alreaely showing aelvanccment. The exposition of the Gospel of John with illustrations from nature and science was first undertaken, memorizing the principal verse or verses in each chapter. The eliscussion of any controversial or doubtful points arc always allowed anel entered into with much zeal by the stuelents anel finally settleel by some passage of Scripture, which is always at hand, if sought for in the right spirit. The commandments also have been memorized. Finally we have taken up the origin of the Bible as we have it in its present form and more particularly of the New Testament. Some students have become interested to the extent of continuing the study out of class and through the influence of right living and right speaking have persuaded a number of students to attend this school and have also approached some men and women in our vicinity and dealt kindly with them concerning the New Life in Christ Jesus. We can heartily recommend this course to any school whatsoever. The search for truth and the benefit to the moral life tends to raise the school's* standard educationally as well as spiritually. L. C. L. �THE FRIEND 10 The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society The notes prepared for The Friend last month, were not all printed owing to the large amount of Other matter, anel are continued in this. Our space is elevoteel largely this May number to memorials of the departed members. The last month's account ended with the notice of eleath of Mrs. B. B. Bowman, better known on these Islanels as Mrs. Claudius B. Andrews, who left here (a wielow) in the year 1877. A few words from her obituary printed in the Michigan paper follow: "Saniantha Gilson Andrews Bowman, was born in Vermont, June 5, 1828. One of eleven children, she was educated at Mount Holyoke Seminary, coining directly under the personal influence of that epoch-making woman, Mary Lyon. Mrs. Bowman, in her practical sagacity anel moral earnestness, was of the Mary I yon type, without her austerity. Bef< re the Civil War, Samantha followeel In r sister, Ann, a teacher at Port GibRon Academy, in the State of Mississippi.'' Her health was delicate, and on that account, when her sister, Ann, was married to the Rev. C. B. Anelrews, a missionary of the American Board of Foreign Missions, and they were about to return to the Hawaiian Islands, they brought Samantha with them. She lived with them, a member of their family, a number of years. She went back to her New England home for a few years, but returned in 1863, after the death of her sister, and became the second Mrs. C. B. Andrews, taking charge of her sister's children, and greatly assisting him in his work of education of Hawaiian girls. Mr. Andrews died in 1876 on the ocean, on his return from a visit to the States in the Centennial year, and Mrs. Andrews left the next year and resided in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for several years. In 1887 she was married to Mr. B. B. Bowman, who had been an early suitor of her's in the South. Her second husband elieel early in July, 1903.

Condensed from an account by Mrs. H. Lyman. Nettie One of the brightest spots in Hilo is over in the Waiakea district, the most destitute and needy part of the city. A little over a year ago a few of the business men realized the necessity of doing something positive to stem the tide of evil in that locality and with wise foresight determined to meet the situation by organizing a Christian Settlement. Putting their hands in their pockets and calling upon no one outside of Hilo except the Hawaiian Board they erected a suitable building and called as Head Worker, Miss lola A. Wight. Here various departments were soon opened and filled to overflowing. Religious needs are met in a Sunday School with average attendance of 68 and Sunday evening service under the supervision of Rev. S. L. Desha. The reading room serves as a counter attraction to the saloon. A very varied industrial department trains girls and women to sew and weave, turning the proceeds of sales back to the individualworkers as incentive to greater faithfulness and to the cultivation of thrift. A propaganda of money saving has also been inaugurated. Mothers' meetings have already succeeded in brightening the outlook of many homes. Music and Delsarte number their devotees by scores.

Honolulu �THE FRIEND 14 The treatment in such cases is well understood. The native doctor is called in. The people know as well as he what must be done; but the spell is known to him alone, and in the spell lies the power. He gets a chcta, an instrument used for winnowing, anil shaped like the square flat lid of a basket, and on this he sprinkles the sacred ashes. Then in the name of each of the gods that rule the winds from the four or eight corners e>f the earth he demanels a money gift, and, of course, when operations are over, in the name of the same gods he pockets the cash. If the person be rich, silver coins must be produced} if poor, copper will suffice. Ihe coins are put on the four corners of the chela. Next, the image of some god (usually Hanaman, the monkey god) is drawn upon the ashes. When all is ready, the potent spell is pronounced, and the ashes thrown over the patient. Her inactivity ceases at once. She starts up, and rushes at her full pace to the outside of the village, followed closely by the doctor, carrying a knife, and also, probably, by a crowd of excited, shouting people. Having passed the village boundary, she throws herself on the ground, anel without delay the doctor seizes her by the hair, and cries to the demon: 'Where art thou? Where art thou?" "In the stomach!" comes the reply; but the voice is the patient's. "Where art thou now?" "In the breasts,"the demon answers. "Where now?" "In the throat." Where now?" "In the head." "Wilt thou come up into the hair?" is the next demand. "Yes." "Where art thou now?" "In the top-knot." That is all that is wanted. The elector grasps the top-knot and cuts the hair off. Then the woman rises and goes home in her right mind. "PIDGIN" ENGLISH All through the East is spoken a mongrel dialect known as "Pidgin" English. The following are amusing specimens. The verb "to be" seems to have no place in pidgin, the term "blong" seeming to answer most purposes of such a verb in all its forms. As for example, instead of saying, "Is it raining?" you would ask, "Blong rain?" The answer would be, "Blong lain," or "No blong lain," as the case might be. The Chinaman has great difficulty in pronouncing the letter "r," and invariably gives the sound of the letter "1" in place of it. He never answers "yes" or "no." He repeats your question in the affirmative or negative as a statement. "Have got" sometimes takes the place of the verb "to be," and also means in pidgin, as it does in English. possession. Thus you wouid ask, as earlier illustrated, "Master have got?" for "Is the master or manager in?" "Have got," "No have got," as the answer, inelicatcs clearly presence or nonpresence. "My have got too muchee fiend," means simply, "I have very many "Too" is always used instead eif "very ;" thus, "too muchee" meaning "very much or many." The description eif an elevator, eir "lift," in pielgin is very interesting. "One piecee small house any fashion can walkee. Spose be wanchee walkee friends."

LXI "government of the people by the people anel for the people." Strike Lessons. On May 2 the Japanese employed on Plantation struck. Their grievances were formulated under ten heads but they were all resolvable into one— cruel and unjust treatment at the hands of the head overseer. Back in the days preceding annexation hard stories were told concerning harshness on this plantation, it being rumored that a certain room with its blacksnake could reveal scenes of horror. One must not believe all he hears in Hawaii, but of the head tuna complained against by these striking laborers it is said that "he can get more work out of his men than any other lima on the Islands." and not by gentle methods either. To t'.iis may be added the indictment of the laborers as printed in The Advertiser: "Although the plantation has tabooed lotteries and gambling, lima Patterson has conducted lotteries of various kinds for his personal benefit, and in the event that Japanese laborers did not participate in them they were discharged on various pretexts." On the evening of May 4 the strike ended after the obnoxious overseer resigned. The independence and determination of the striking men is not to be condemned Under the conditions represented it becomes a public duty for working men after exhausting all lesser measures to strike. The righteousness of their cause was apparent in its quick triumph. It should be evident meantime to the dullest that among Japanese laborers at least blacksnakes and brutality belong to the hopeless past. One of the most blessed results of the present war in the Orient is that it will compel a revision of the standards of opinion with regard to a large section of the human family.

The above clippings give two strongly contrasted views of the mission of the modern church. They are confined to no one denomination. Years ago in the later eighties Rev. J. L. Scudder, pastor of the First Congregational church in lower Jersey City, forced by the non-attractive lives of the swarms of homeless folk in his field and won by Mr. Besant's dream of the People's Palace, boldly announced the scheme of making his church minister to the whole man. For years lack of means prevented the realization of his larger plans, but last year a Baptist layman of New York city, came forward with $150,000 to build for him a veritable palace for the people with not only all the features enumerated in the Edward Clark Club House but others also touching the industrial side of human life. Jersey City today has at least eleven such church houses in Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran and Catholic parishes, all the outgrowth of this one effort. The new movement is in the world to stay. It is the best weapon for anti-saloon forces yet devised, two or three years ago the most sumptuous gin palace in Jersey City being forced to close its doors through the competition of these clean purveyors to the all around needs of healthy men and women. The Church is passing out of medieval conceptions into accord with our Lord's ideal of his mission, "I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." No one can travel extensively through this Territory and witness the sad collapse of the work of the fathers punctuated by the many deserted churches and well maintained saloons, without realizing that Hawaii needs a revival of modern social religion. In proof of this assertion we await confidently the result of the competition of St. Elizabeth's with Palama and Kaumakapili. The two latter must come into line with the twentieth century if they are to hold their own. St. Elizaaeth's New Venture. It is no longer a secret that Mr. Proc- tor of the Proctor and Gamble Company, the soap firm which has gained an international reputation not only for the high quality of ivory soap, but also for the still nobler quality of its ideal treatment of its employees, has made the magnificent gift of $10,000 to this Episcopal Mission for an equipment commensurate with modern ideas of social religious work. Plans are not yet made public we believe. We congratulate this enthusiastic institution upon its good fortune, and while we cannot help wishing its managers had chosen a site in connection with which no one could suggest the suspicion �THE FRIEND of competition, nevertheless its contribution to the question of the value of all around methods of church work will be watched with great interest. It is possible that this enterprise will convert the doubtful to the present day necessity for addressing the whole man with the religious appeal. Enthusiasm. Lihue is bound to teach Honolulu a deserved lesson. Under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate its people have fired the entire island with the royal ambition to demonstrate what the annual meeting of the Evangelical Association should be. We print elsewhere a list of the committees. A cursory glance reveals thought in their composition. They are not perfunctory. Every detail of the gathering is being worked out most faithfully. The programme promises a real treat. For the first time all races are to be represented in the discussions. The themes are vital. Every thing is being done to insure the comfort of the delegates and make the meeting memorable. Lihue's men of wealth have given generously. The Inter-Island and Wilder Steamship Companies have kindly granted half fares to all who attend. Extra steamers will be run to accommodate Guests will be entertained everybody. without expense. A picnic, concert and reception are planned to minister to the social demands of the occasion. It is safe to say that never in the history of the Territory has one of these anniversaries received more careful, loving forethought. Those who do not go will miss a feast. Kauai's The Japanese Christian Club House. This is the name of a new institution on Kukui between Fort and Nuuanu streets, rapidly nearing completion. When opened it will comprise reading, game, sword-practice and assembly rooms, gymnasium, bathing parlor and a few apartments for single gentlemen. In time •tennis courts will be added. In order thoroughly to furnish and equip the Club House plans are being made to hold an entertainment in the Boys' Field entitled "Old Japan." This will be one of the most unique events ever known in Honolulu and will, it is hoped, comprise first-class Japanese fencing, music, presentation of historic war scenes, wrestling and the famous Jujutsu Just at present Mr. Hancock's book issued by the Putnam's, entitled "Physical Training for Men by Japanese Methods—Jiujutsu" is having a large run.

Whatever in these days of toleration we may think of such forcible exclusion, it is due to remember that at that time the Catholic church was the unscrupulous and deadly foe to all other forms of religion, anel that along the whole coast from California to Chili, a Protestant preacher would have met with instant death. Catholic priests in Hawaii would be at once arrayed against the Protestant Queen and chiefs, and active leaders of political rebellion. Such was the well-founeled belief of Kaahumanu. This conflict also was averted by the eleath of Liholiho. Thus had another singular interposition of Providence strangely wrought to safeguard the infant growth of Gospel Christianity in Hawaii. In these successive peculiar events we can hardly fail to eliscern the manifest guidance and protection of the Lord, who had destined Hawaii for early anel complete conquest by His Kingdom. The Portfolio. By W. L. Whitney. In things political since we last wrote, the only matter of importance, the extra session of the Legislature, is now such ancient history that we need but notice it in passing. Much might, however, be written of this session, as it is one of the most remarkable in our history. The spectacle of that august body meeting with some object in view other than self-advantage, and accomplishing that object, is unique. Many theories of the cause thereof have been advanced. But whether the final analysis leaves us with the belief that it was the Governor's promise of a luau if they behaved nicely, or an honest desire to promote the country's welfare that brought about the desired result, still we have to chronicle the fact that they did meet to consider the country's financial policy ; that on the whole they acted like sensible business men, and that they left us no worse off than when they arrived. Perhaps the Governor was correct in his belief that we needed them. Certainly his boast that he could keep them in hand was not ill-founded. In the Republican party we have had the primaries and election of delegates to the National Convention. The result of the ballot gave us a very respectable and representative delegation with Governor Carter at its head.

Mrs. Westervelt was born in Essex, N. V., August 24, 1850. She was brought up in Oberlin, Ohio, as the daughter of Rev. George Clark, a well known minister and evangelist. She studied in Oberlin College, and graduated from the Ladies' Literary Course in 1870. After graeluation she made a special study of mathematics anel Latin to prepare herself for a professorship in a St. Louis college to which she had been invited. It was a fatal mistake. Always of a delicate physique, the later years of college life hael drawn upon her vitality, while the extra study and a severe fall upon the ice resulted in an attack of cerebral meningitis, from the effects of which she never fully recovered. Severe headaches, followed by great prostration ensued, which no physician and no change of surroundings could long alleviate. May 15, 1873, Miss Clark was married to Rev. W. D. Westervelt of Oberlin, and feir nearly thirty-one years she was the wise and helpful wife to a most sympathetic and loving husband. Their home for a time was in northern Ww York, but she could not endure the cold months anel they moved to Colorado and for a number of years maele their home in Manitou anel Denver. Her nervous strength was after a time unable to endure the strain of the high altitudes of those places, and for two years they found a home in these Islanels. She entered with enthusiasm into the work of her husband for Hawaiians, mainly on Maui. In 1890 they removed to Chicago, where they remained nine years and returned to 1 lonplulu in 1899. During all these years she was never free from suffering. She passed through six surgical operations, hoping in vain to remove the cause of pain. Eleven different times she went so ileep into the valley of the shadow of death, that she felt its cold waters rising about her. But she "feared no evil," anel often saiil to her friends with a smile, "It's all right! Life is sweet, but I'm not afraid to elie!" Her only fear seemed to be that she should be such a care to others as to hinder the work which was clearer tei her than life. 'The last year and a half of her earthly life was a constant struggle with mortal agony and increasing weakness. But her courage never failed, and her beauty of spirit shone through her face with more than earthly loveliness. Her pastor testified that in his more than twenty-five years of pastoral visitation he had never met so patient and courageous a soul, while all her friends could say, "A sweeter woman ne'er drew breath!" When the frail body �THE FRIEND 8 could no longer hold the brave spirit, it was the old disease, cerebral meningitis, which revived and quietly carried her life away. One child, their dear little Alice, passed from their home many years ago, when she was but two years old, and we can almost see the pain-freed mother and the "fair maiden in her Father's mansion" passing together through the streets of the city where there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. M. S. W. The Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society As all the members of this Society residing in Honolulu are aware the regular monthly meetings, as a social institution, have been discontinued since the Jubilee year; while this year a more radical change has been made in the constitution and the society becomes a commemorative one—and the intention and hope now is to secure a site, on the place where missionary work was commenced in 1820, and make it a perpetual center for the coming generations. A few items in regard to the annual meeting of the H. M. C. S. seems appropriate for this column of The Friend. Albert B. Clark, D.D.S., from Chicago, 111., was made President last August, and has done good work in arousing a commemorative interest. He has been ably sustained by a large executive committee, and the results of the year's work were presented at the annual meeting. Mrs. Robert W. Andrews, who fills the two offices of Recording and Corresponding Secretary in one, presented most interesting reports. With rare good judgment she abridged her long Corresponding Secretary's report in reading, and the interest was sustained. President A. B. Clark made no formal address, but after stating the results of the year, called on five different speakers to present subjects from different points of view. Rev. W. D. Westervelt, the first speaker, dwelt on the memory of the Missionary Fathers—not perfect men in every particular—but chosen of God, as well fitted to lay the foundations of everything in these Islands that will stand the test of time. Mr. W. W. Hall spoke of the formation of this society by the children of three missionaries, going back to the small work, and its enthusiasm in sending out one of their own number to Micronesia, Rev. Luther H. Gulick. He spoke of the early conditions of society here—the great influence that our Society, exercised in the early years, the gradual changes in society here—and the many other instrumentalities at work now. Mr. Wm. O. Smith was asked to speak on the prospective plan which the President had mentioned of trying to secure a memorial site; and permanent building as a center of work in the I future for both the H. M. C. Society, I the Hawaiian Board and possibly the Historical Society. Mr. Smith mentioned the Chamberlain Homestead, built of coral rock, that could be made fire-proof, and which might be secured for such a purpose. A regret was expressed that the "old Cooke Home," the earliest frame house brought to these Islands from Boston for the pioneer missionary, Rev. Hiram Bingham, should be made use of as at present; but it being of wood could not be made fire-proof, but the hope was expressed it might still be kept as a relic. Dr. N. B. Emerson was asked to speak as representing the Historical Society, but the subject was too new for him to express an opinion whether the Historical Society could join in such a building. Rev. O. H. Gulick spoke a few words in closing on the possible assistance of the Hawaiian Board in securing an interest and using such a building as a center for their work. Some delightful musical selections enlivened the exercises. The rousing Missionary Hymn brought as usual to a close, and on leaving the white front portico of the building, a committee had as refreshment fresh young cocoanuts ready to hand to the guests, "with straws or without," and a generous bunch of sugar-cane stalks stood handy if any one chose to partake or carry away. We are saddened indeed to have to record on the sth of May, ie}o4, the death of Mrs. Louise D. Westervelt, wife of our Cousin Rev. Wm. D. Westervelt. Only those who were in her circle of intimate friends knew all the worth of character and depth of attainment in the Christian graces of this sweet life. A lifelong invalid she rose above her disabilities in a remarkable manner and made a sweet, cheery home. She occasionally attempted public duties beyond her physical strength, and conducted them so well that one could realize what a trial it was to her to be deprived of the privilege of working. Her patience, endurance of pain, and fortitude were remarkable, and her prayers have been a ministration not to be despised in the missionary work. The Islands are poorer for the cessation of her prayers. She was laid to rest in the little missionary graveyard in the shadow of Kawaiahao Church, on the 7th of May. It is certainly a cause of rejoicing that a fine new steamer has been purchased on favorable terms to take the place of the "Morning Star" in the Micronesian work. Her name is the "Sunbeam," and it will probably be retained as the name. Capt. George F. Garland, of thirty years' experience in those seas, is put in command, and he will be accompanied by his wife, a former missionary. It was expected the vessel would sail about May 1 and go by the eastern route through the Mediterranean sea and the Isthmus of Suez. Many shares should be owned by these Islands. M. A. C. Pebbles. Central Union's popular pastor, Rev. William Morris Kincaid, will return to Honolulu in August bearing his wellearned "Doctorate" from his Alma Mater, Williams College. He is scheduled to leave for the coast on the Ventura, May 31, and carries with him the benedictions of all his people, who wish him a most restful and recuperative vacation. His genial presence, kindly ministrations and inspiring sermons will be greatly missed. Rev. E. W. Thwing and family, shut of the Manuka by the unusally large list of passengers from Australasian ports, rushed their preparations and left on the Alameda, May 25. They will return about the first of September. out On its trip from Japan last month the "Siberia" brought Rev. Dr. and Mrs. C. R. Hager and two children, missionaries of the American Board at Hongkong. The South China Mission which they are the founders and o£ were the only members for a long time, is one of the more remarkably successful enterprises under the care of this society. Its story is deeply interesting and wherever they go these devoted laborers find friends who delight to honor them. The Hagers were guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Rowen during their one day in Honolulu. The "Siberia" also brought the veteran India missionaries, Rev. Tared W. Scudder, M.D., D.D., and Mrs. Scudder, together with their daughter. Dr. Scudder is the only surviving son of Dr. John Scudder, who in 1819 went to India under the American Board as the first medical missionary of modern times. Seven of his sons and two daughters followed him into the same field, the eldest son founding the Arcot �9 THE FRIEND Misssion in the Madras Presidency. This mission was given by the American Board to the Dutch Reformed Society when the churches of that order established a Mission Board of their own and in so doing withdrew amicably from the older inter-denominational organization. At one time all seven brothers were members of this mission. Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Scudder have nearly rounded out a half century of service in this field and after recuperating in California expect to return with their daughter and end their days there. Owing to ill health he was ordered to return to the Pacific coast in hope of recovery. Dr. Scudder is in charge of the Theological School of the mission, has written not a few books widely used in India and at 74 years of age is as eager for further service as a young man in his twenties. The party were charmed with Honolulu. The Christian Chinese of this city were overjoyed to welcome as a fellow worker Rev. Ho Tsz Tung, who after much tribulation succeeded in getting out of the grasp of his country's officials who preside over immigration and whose joy it seems to be to bleed every outgoer. Whereas in Japan a passport may be had for 25 cents, Mr. Ho was compelled to pay $ejo silver. When the Chinese had clone with him he had to encounter the American consul, who though he did not mulct him of his money, gave him no end of red tape trouble. But he is with us at last and will find plenty of good work to make him forget his past trials. Mr. Ho will have charge of the work in Honolulu after the departure of Rev. Mr. Wong Tuk Shing, who is to leave for Portland, Oregon, in the early fall. The Hawaiian Board expects to open work among the Chinese at Waimca, Kauai. For this purpose it has commissioned Mr. Yee Kui of Honolulu, who will leave on May 31, attend the Lihue meeting and deliver an address there both in Chinese and English and then proceed to his field. His salary is to be paid one-half by the Chinese in Kauai and one-half by the Board. This new endeavor will be eagerly watched by all friends of missionary work on the Islands. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Yee Kui large success and rich blessing in their new endeavor. During Dr. Kincaid's absence Central Union pulpit will be supplied on June 5 by Rev. W. D. Westervelt and thereafter by Rev. D. Scudder. For the next three months the Corresponding Secretary of the Board and Mrs. Scudder will reside at 1822 Punahou street. Hilo is suffering from an extensive exodus. Rev. R. K. Baptiste, who was for some years connected as evangelist with the Hawaiian Board and has latterly occupied an important position in the Hilo Boarding School, is about to leave the Territory and take up his permanent residence on the mainland. He will be greatly missed. His influence has always been for a high quality of Christian manhood and he has proved himself one of the strongest forces for righteousness among our Portuguese citizens. His leadership of young men has been remarkable and his influence will long abide in the Lyman School. We wish him and his good wife every joy and ever widening success. Other prospective drains upon the Hilo Portuguese Church take the form of the departure to the Cnited States of Mr. and Mrs. A. T". Sardinha, who have been such faithful workers that the Board endeavored to engage them for the Paia fielel in Maui. Unable to secure them, the Boarel has been compelled to make a further requisition upon this church by. prevailing upon Mr. anel Mrs. Santos to take up this work. Mr. Santos has been very successful in building up the Sundayschool in Hilo anel is one of the most trusted men of affairs among his countrymen in that city, lie will take temporary charge of the church there while Rev. Mr. ela Silva goes to Maui to get the work in his former fielel into shape. Mr. da Silva has been suffering from asthma for some time anil the change, it is hoped, will be beneficial. Meanlime Rev. A. Y. Soares will probably visit Hilo anel assist Mr. Santos for a season. It is a splcndiel test of the work done by such leaders as Revs. Baptiste and E. G. da Silva to have been able to train such leaelers as Messrs. Sardinha and Santos and their wives. CHINESNOTES CHINESE PREACHER ORDAINED At the meeting of the Maui Association, held at Lahaina the first part of May, Mr. Cheung How Fo was ordained as a Christian minister. He is the first Chinaman to be ordained on this island. His faithful work as a preacher at Kula, Maui, has been much appreciated by the band of Hakka Christians living on the upper farm lanels of East Maui. This young man is one of the results of Mr. Frank Damon's loving work for the Chinese, he having graduated from Mills Institute some years ago. NEW PREACHER FROM CHINA Mr. Ho Tsz Tung arrived from China on the S. S. "Siberia." He is one of the new men called by the Hawaiian Board to aid in the work for the Chinese in Honolulu. He has for many years been assisting Rev. H. Y. Noyes, D.D., in his school at Canton, China, and comes here with much experience, and also a warm heart, full of a elesire to help his own people. Mr. Thwing was a fellow worker with him for some three years in China. FORT STREET CHURCH The members of the Fort Street Church are very sorry to learn the decision of Rev. Wong Yuk Shing, to leave his work in connection with this church. A long petition was presenteel from the church, asking him to re' main longer in Honolulu. His faithful work anel kindly spirit have made him clear to the hearts of all. Mr. Wong feels, however, that his health demands a change, anel will leave this summer for the coast, where he will take up weirk in connection with the Chinese Mission of Portland, Ore. Mr. Thwing anel his family expect to leave this month for a vacation in the United States. His sister returns also in June from her work in China, and a pleasant meeting will be hail with her anel also a brother who is now living in Seattle, Wash. The Fort Street Church took up its yearly collection in May for the work of the Hoard, and about $200 was raised for this purpose. TEMPERANCE ISSUES LIVING UP TO LOVE "And ye don't drink any more, Jim?" The question came as two workmen walked along together. "And ye don't talk as ye used to, either—dropped a lot of swearin' that used to come pretty handy. What's "It's the wife and boy," answered Jim, half pleased, half embarrassed that the change had been noticed. "Ye see, the little one was nothin' but a baby when I went away, but he's gettin' to be right smart of a boy now. Lizzie believes in me. And that boy— he really thinks his dad is the best man in the world. I'd sort of like to have him keep on thinkin' so, that's all." Trying to live up to some one's thought of him, some one's faith in him, was making his whole life higher and purer, as it has made many a life. �THE FRIEND 10 It is an ignoble nature that is not at once humbled and uplifted at fineling itself idealized by some loving heart.

CHRISTIANITY A NEW RELIGION. The writer once hearel from a Christian pulpit the statement that "Jesus Christ eliel not come to founel a new religion or give a new creed." Without feeling sure what the speaker meant by that language, it incites one to maintain and urge the contrary statement, that Christ eliel come to establish a new religion, and to teach a new creed. Christianity, as we know it from the record in the New Testament of its inception, anel as we know it from all its later history, is, positively anel mightily, a new religion. And it carries certain matters of ]X>sitive and funelamental belief, taught by its Divine Founder, which no previously taught religion hael ever containeel. The most conspicuous anel funelamental element of Christianity as a new religion in the worlel, is our Divine Lord's own presentation of himself as our central object of faith. Gradually, but with assureel certainty, He elisclosed himself to his disciples as the Messiah, or Christ, the one anointed of Goel as supreme Prophet, Priest anel King. When He askeel his disciples, "Whom do ye say that I am?" anel Simon respondeel "Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God," Jesus at once constitutcel that as a funelamental article of faith, saying "Upon this Rock will I build my Church." The Lord held up himself as the object of trust and devotion. "Come anel follow me," he ever called to men. "I am the Way, the Truth, anel the Life." "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." "If any man thirst, let him come unto me anel drink." Anil his Apostles ever held up their Lord before mankind as the central object of Trust and Dcvo- tion, the manifested rqiresentation of Goel to the worlel. Christianity as we find it eleveloping in the history of the Acts, anil in the Epistles of Paul, Peter anil John, shines forth as a new anel mighty jxiwer of Faith, centering upon the Person of the Lorel Jesus Christ, who elieel feir the Redemption e>f men, rose from the dead, asceneleel to Heaven, anel now rules over his Church anel Kingdom, the object of emr aeloring anil trusting worship. It is indeed a New Religion, a seeel planted in the world by its founder, which grew into a mighty tree sheltering the nations. Also Christianity contains a living Crecel, definite anel positive Articles of Faith, supplied by its Founder, and hitherto unknown. ()ne of the most conspicuous of these, anil the most dwelt upon at first by his Disciples, was his Resurrection from the Dead, This carries with it the Doctrine of Immortality for all who believe on Him. "I am the Resurrection anil the Life. Whosoever believeth on Me, shall live, though he elie." We are taught to believe on a Risen anel Ascended Christ, as a foremost Dogma of our religion. Another most prominent doctrine, intimately cherished by the Church in all ages, has been our Redemption from Sin by the death of the Jesus. He was I'his," the Sacrificial "Lamb of God. He said, "is my blood shed for many for the remission of sins." Said Paul, "In whom we have our redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins." This doctrine of Expiatory Sacrifice by the hlocxl of the elying Rceleemer holels a leading place in the Christian Religion. Not less peculiar to Christianity is its doctrine of God's full anel free offer of Salvation to all mankind, While the Jewish religion held Him to be the Eather of Israel alone, Christ maele Him known as the Eather of all mankind. "Where there cannot be Greek or Jew, circumcision anel uncircunicision, barbarian, Scythian, bonelman, free man; but Christ is all, and in all." Then there is also the Doctrine of the ultimate victory of Christ's Kingelom in the world, when all mankind shall come under His beneficient sway. The fulfilment of this promised triumph being still in the future, and formielable obstacles still intervening, there is much in the promise that is obscure. But the Church is toiling on to disseminate their Lorel's gospel among the nations, in full faith of its universality; and the Power of the Holy Spirit attends and gives success. Yes, our Divine Lord and Master has brought us a new, a positive, a complete, a triumphing religion. Christianity was never more positive, or more victorious 11 anel influential than today, notwithstanel-1 ing all unbelief anil all hostility. Theß King of our Salvation still rieles forwardJ at the heael of his Church, conquering] anel to conquer. lilesseel are they who! abide in His Faith anil cleave to His I stanelard. S. E. 11.

This is the translation of "The Didache," or "The teaching of the Twelve Apostles," translated into the Hawaiian language. "The Teaching" has been known for many centuries by references to it in the writings of the early Christian authors. Quotations were made from it, and its authenticity well established, but the entire book was not easily found. There was a translation from the Greek into the Syriac. Part of "The Teaching" was copied in a manuscript called "The Apostolic Constitutions," used for guidance in the government of the first Christian churches. Justin | Martyr and Ignatius quote from it as if it were an authority in Church matters. Bishop Bryennios of the Greek Church found the complete copy of "The Teaching" while working over some very ancient manuscripts in Constantinople in 1881. In 1883 he hael the Greek text copieel and published for the use of scholars throughout the world. At that time many of the religious papers published accounts of the manuscript, anel translations of parts of it into English. Scholars agree that it was prepareel by the Christians of not later than the second century. Most stuelents now agree that it was committed to writing in the early part of the secemel or the latter part of the first century. Some place the date as early as 00 A. D.; others say about 120 A. D. The value Teaching" is in the fact that i practically the first book eif rules the Christian Church, he book of "Acts" in the New Tesent often speaks of "The Way" unit defining it. "The Teaching" ins with these words: Two Ways there are, one of Life one of Death; but there is a great jrencc between the two Ways. The y of Life then, is this, first, thou It love God who made thee; sec- S'The C. J.

The manuscript was divided into chapters, stating the sins which were to be noted anel conquered, the duties of Christians in their relation to their fellowmen, anel the connection of various officers or leaders with the church. This translation into Hawaiian should be eif especial value to the Hawaiian people feir it very strongly emphasizes the wickedness of those who committed certain sins against pure living, anel states clearly that such persons are in the "way of death." These same sins are common in our Hawaiian homes, anil need the same plain speech today as in the clays of the ApoStlea anil their followers. W. D. W.

The daily press both editorially and in its news columns gave its deliberations generous space, a courtesy for which The Frund on behalf of the Association hereby expresses hearty thanks. The success which crowned the labors of Rev. J. M. Lydgate and the committees which arranged the anniversary merited such wide public recognition. Every affair of the kind to be successful demands a leader gifted with the power of organization. Lihue found such in Mr. Lydgate. Months ahead he began planning, choosing his committees with care and assigning to each its sphere. These committees were themselves composed of trained entertainers who gave such thorough attention to details that the keenest critical study of the arrangements for the comfort of delegates and the quick dispatch of the work in hand was rewarded with the discovery of not even the slightest rlaw. From beginning to end Llhue's part was perfectly performed. We remember never to have attended a like gathering with completer, less obtrusive or more smoothly moving machinery. No wonder this care for the temporalities made itself felt in the deliberations and effected a harmony anel good feeling which combined with the intellectual and spiritual tone of the meeting, elrew from Rev. O. H. Gulick the characterization—"the best the Association has ever held." May 15.

It is significant that the Association should be wiped out—and there is looks to Christian teachers throughout the Islands for assistance in its work and Christian money enough in Hawaii to finds in many its most enthusiastic coLeaders like Prof. J. C. Davis laborers. T. R. do it easily. 7 of Hanalei, T. K. Amalu of Hookena, C. E. King of Maui and D. Kanuha of Kamehameha though on the program, were unable to be present. It was felt that this difficulty must be obviated another year by the choice of a time when teachers can attend. Two plans were proposed, one the selection of the week following Easter Sunday, which is vacation season, the other by postponing the meeting until the third week in June. The adherents of the latter plan prevailed. The only objection to this is its coming so near to the season of commencements when Honolulu is exhausted both by the heat and the strain of continued meetings. However, this date will be given a good trial next year and if it prove unwise a further change may be instituted. Business Achievements The things done by the Association may best be characterized by the phrase "getting into line with world-wiele Congregationalism." Dr. Walter Laiellaw in the federation shows that in the United States the Congregational polity stanels first in the number of its adherents with 7,535,580, the Episcopal second with 7,-268,518 anel the Presbyterian third with 4,063,577. Already the divided units of the latter are coming together in the union of the Northern and Cumberland Presbyterians. Those of the South will soon be added. The Congregationalists, Methodist Protestants and United Brethren are on the verge of union, and it is not too much to expect that the Baptists anel Disciples will in time yield to the demand for consolidation and then the nearly eight million Congregationalists will stanel as one. It is well that Hawaii is preparing for such an event by coming into close vital relations with its Congregational brothers. By electing a layman as Moderator for the first time in its history, by choosing a full list of delegates and alternates to the National Council, by nominating candidates for corporate membership in the American Board and by changing its constitution so as to represent all the churches of the Territory, the Evangelical Association put itself unequivocally in sympathy and into co-ooeration with the great body of Christians who for 80 years have stood hehind it. All these actions were taken with absolute unanimity and after kindly, il- �4 THE FRIEND spire others with high ideals and uncommon faithfulness in pastoral visitation ever deserved recognition by the confering of this honored title, then the Pride of the Berkshires has done well in recognizing the splendid service of the Pastor of Central Union Church of this city.

Leadingham with her six children bade adieu to their Island home on June 21. They go to join Rev. Mr. Leadingham in California, and leave behind them a large circle of friends. We shall look for good things from this family as the years roll on. Meanwhile with our aloha go prayers for ever increasing service in the Master's vineyard, greater fruitage and enlarging joy. Palama's Progress It is refreshing to hear how this mission uneler the leael of Rev. anel Mrs. A. C. Logan is addressing itself to its prob- lem with increasing adaptability to the demands of the field. No better locatiem in all these Islands for a modern settlement can be founel than the junction of King and Liliha streets. It and Kakaako are strategic points. This Mr. and Mrs. Logan see anil they have begun at the right place with the lx>ys. Two clubs have been organized ami are eleiing fine work. The girls also have not been ovcrlookeel. The next step would seem te> he to make the venture a real Settlement by enlarging the plant so that these workers can reside on the spot. A second floor rightly constructeel might give the home needetl. Then little by little various other features coulel be aelelcd, the co-operation of many with leisure secured, classes be formed and Talama enter upon a splendid career of wieler usefulness. We congratulate Palama upon this prospect and Central Union church upon so promising an enterprise. Kodama For Koloa For the present it is hoped that Rev. Mr. Kodama whose work has been so successful in Kakaako may be locateel at Koloa. No better man for the place can he found. He has hael wlele experience, is a master of English, wielels an enviable influence among his countrymen and will prove invaluable on a plantation. The only question is which is the more important field for a man of his wiele ability. The people of the Territory in general had an opportunity to gauge his calibre through his address at the Lihue meeting—the only utterance there which won editorial recognition at the hands of our leading daily. HOW THE TOPIC WAS HANDLED AT LIHUE The first day's discussion was devoted to the general theme "The Home —Its Chief Menace, Social Laxity." Rev. J. M. Lydgate opened the question, making among others the following points: "When a man is sick he does not seek to conceal his illness but goes at �5 THE FRIEND. once to the doctor. Now it is claimed by many that the Hawaiian home is in a bad way. Courtesy, gentle manners, kindly hospitality and the like, it is said, characterize it, but virtue it has lost. We Christians must meet these changes. If the Hawaiian home is diseased let us acknowledge it to ourselves and seek a remedy. That there is foundation for the accusation is apparent to anyone who investigates actual conditions. In one community I drove through the town in company with the pastor and asked him of each house 'Are the women of that home virtuous? ' At the end of the ride I found that 40 per cent, were known to be leading immoral lives. In another case a deacon in the church sold his own daughter to a Chinaman for base uses. Not a few Hawaiian parents send their young girls into the camps, knowing what will happen to them there, and all for the sake of the sweetmeats, food and other presents they will bring back. I could tell you of a young teacher married to a charming woman, who fell in love with a pupil and so cruelly neglected his wife that she died. He lost his position in consequence and married his paramour. Subsequently he was again appointed teacher and then repented his guilty conduct with a second pupil. When faced with discharge for this offense some of the church members urged me to secure his reinstatement because he was so useful to the church as a Sunday school leader. These are only a few instances out of many. We must meet these evils and manfully rid ourselves of them. They are a disgrace hut we can and we will uproot them and make our homes pure." Editor David Ai taking up the side of this subject which touched the Church applied Christ's remark, "a city set on a hill cannot be hid," to the Church and demanded for Hawaii that the Bride of the Lord be clean and free from every stain. Mr. M. K. Nakuina next made the following points: "Pastors today must be fearless in denouncing evils and in bringing the practical truths of Christian living home to the consciences of their congregations. They must still further be cross bearers, ready to suffer for plain dealing, hiding themselves as they hold up the pure life of the Redeemer. Oftentimes people are admitted to our churches too easily. Don't allow men and women of impure life to join the Church. The true pastor is a seed sower and must be content to scatter widely the seed of truth, leaving the results to God." Rev. O. P. Emerson carried the discussion out from the. Church into the community. "I well remember the deep impression made upon me in boyhood by hearing an old Hawaiian Christian woman picture the home life of her early days with all its dark features and testify to the ennobling uplifting power of Christ in rescuing her from the abyss of sin. She was talking to a group of her own people and as I overheard her words I became conscious of the awful possibilities of human nature under the curse of sin and of the wonderful redeeming power of the Savior. For I knew what a true, saintly life that woman was living. It is grandly possible for the Hawaiian home to be pure. I beseech you to address yourselves to this glorious work. Set your faces against sin. Refuse to sell yourselves for gold. Stand for purity in the home, in the Church, in the community, for God has great things in store for Hawaii." Rev. S. Kodama of Kakaako followed with one of the notable utterances of the anniversary. His address may be pharaphrascd in part as follows: "Many specifics arc offered today by social reformers. Among them that of the Nihilist and Revolutionary Socialist, proposing force. The method of Jesus is exactly opposite. Jesus sought to build up in this world a kingdom of righteousness and we His followers will win only as we adopt His plan. Thirteen of us Japanese are here in this Territory to help in this work, especially among our countrymen. Not a few obstacles render this task difficult. One is the attitude of some plantation employers whose treatment of our people is too often based upon the principle, 'As long as you do the work required of you we care not what becomes of you or how else you act.' No wonder the employees begin to think of themselves as things instead of men and care only for the money which enables them to drink and gamble as they please. Again the employers by aiding Buddhism lead our people to believe that they consider all religions on the same footing and that Christianity is like Buddhism, equally useless. In the days before this country was annexed the sale of liquor was restricted. But now the ease with which sake may be had tempts our countrymen to drink freely and leads them into gambling. Furthermore the police—the representatives of the government—are so often found to be in support of evil men who have money that it is hard to make headway. It is said that Tapanese sell their wives frequently in Hawaii. The truth is that when a wife goes off with another man, nine times out of ten she has been allured from her husband by gome crafty fellow with money who |s able so to enlist the police in their escape that the husband, even though he may secure the active aid of the Japanese evangelist, is powerless to save his wife. If plantation managers would come out actively in support of Christian work, refuse to aid Buddhists, give their influence against the sale of liquor and bring pressure to bear upon the police to do their duty, they would find the character of their workingmen improving and their relations with Japanese employees growing pleasanter. The conditions surrounding our countrymen would become more uplifting and we who are striving to bring in the Kingdom would meet larger success in our work." To try to render the picturesque eloquence of Revs. W. N. Lono or J. B. Hanaike into English is to attempt to gild the rainbow. Where others drew black and white sketches of actual conditions today, these two men portrayed the homes of a half century ago when the Hawaiians under the inspiration of the first great enthusiasm for Christ left heathenism behind and in simple daily service for the Master built up a home life gospel-like in its purity and beauty. During the addresses of these two speakers and when Rev. O. H. (iulick, whose 49 years of blessed union with his wife privileged him to uncover his own domestic shrine to sacred view, paid his touching tribute to his life partner, the evidences of deep emotion showed that the hearts of all had been reached and that God's Spirit was present doing His holy work. Rev. A. Y. Soarcs added as his contribution the suggestion that parents may live again in their children in whom their own virtues may be reproduced with augmented power if they be faithful to their trust. He drew a telling picture of the supreme joy of fatherhood and motherhood over children who attain to assured Christian char- acter. The second day of the convention took the delegates into the realm of the school. Points made by Messrs. Scudder and Archer may be epitomised as follows: "Home and School are reciprocal institutions. They influence one another constantly for good and evil. It is possible for every public schol teacher to renovate many of the homes in his community. If it be your privilege to serve in the sacred vocation of teacher recognize that your sphere includes the Home. Enter it hand in hand with the boy or girl. Win the friendship of father or mother. Take into the home your ideals, your culture, your wider learning and with these purjfy, elevate and enlarge itg life, �6 Thus you can serve your nation and the world most fully and Teave the impress of your character permanently in the entire community. Meanwhile you who are parents have in the public school an ally of far-reaching power in the training of your little ones. Look upon the public school teacher as your especial friend. Remember that you are entrusting your dearest possessions—your children —to him at the most impressible and important period of their lives. It is your business to know him intimately, to invite him to your home, to help him in his great work. The unmarried youth or maiden who takes a school in a country district in this Territory is exposed to most dangerous and insidious temptations. It is your business as Christians to shield these teachers, to help them in their fight for upright character and to surround them with influences that brighten, inspire and strengthen. If any teacher prove false to his trust, become a moral leper and begin to deprave and corrupt his pupils, it is your duty to protest and secure his removal. Bring your testimony to the Hawaiian Board and if after investigation it is clear that he is unfit we will help you. But if the teacher be faithful to his trust he needs your support. Give it to him freely. First of all by leading your children to love him. Second by standing by him when he disciplines your children and third by helping your children to learn their lessons. Fill your boys and girls with the ambition to do their best. The great need of the Hawaiian race is aspiration, a burning desire to make the most of themselves. Put this passion into your little ones in their schooldays and it will go with them through life." The topic of the Christian Boarding School was splendidly handled by Revs. T. Okumura and H. K. Poepoe. Mr. Okumura told of the lack of home life in Japan, "but" he added, "the Samurai of olden days supplied this lack in their own families, the training of the children in which was remarkable both for fullness and for the kind of men and women it produced. However owing to deficiency of home-life social relations were very lax. Here in Hawaii this condition is intensified. Feeling the need of home training for Japanese children the Honolulu Christian Boarding School for Japanese was opened in 1897. In this institution the children are taught first of all faith in Christ and love for Him—the essentials of Christian life. Soon after entering the school they began to pray. Little by little breathing the air of a Christian home they unconsciously become followers of Jesus. Two girls THE FRIEND came to us from Aiea. Some time later one died at home and a Buddhist funeral was held. On such occasions it is customary after the service to drink large quantities of sake. The surviving daughter remarked to her parents that this should not be done as it was unseemly in the presence of death. The whole family were moved and allowed the little child to lead them. Then the girl told them that perhaps her little sister had been suffered to die in order to lead them all to a knowledge of the true God. Her simple testimony worked wonders for that home. Instances of the kind could be multiplied. Our Christian school is continually sending its pupils home to reform the lives of parents and give them new ideals. Furthermore Japanese children born in this Territory will for the most part remain here permanently and grow up as citizens ol They inherit a the United States. double duty, to Japan and to the land of their adoption. To train them to discharge this duty in the spirit of Christ is one of the chief functions of our Christian Boarding Schools and this we try faithfully to perform." Rev. Mr. Poepoe whose distinction it is to have placed between 20 and 30 eirls in Kawaiahao, paid a beautiiiti tribute to the splendid work done by that and kindred institutions. Unable to secure interpretation we cannot give the details of his deductions made on the basis of intimate knowledge both of the management of this school and of the homes of its pupils. The addresses of Friday evening tfiven by Mrs. Nakuina, Miss McLeod nnd Mr. Merrill are printed in other columns.* Saturday was devoted to a picnic at Wailua, the occasion being a donation to the convention by Mrs. Hans Isenberg. It was a rare season of social ioy and was followed by a concert in the evening. Monday morning the Association took up the question of the religious life of the home. In many respects ■his was the culminating session of the whole week. Judsre Kahele. himself the notable product of a beautiful Christian home, opened the discussion detailing the effect of family devotions upon the life of the home and the after -areers of the children. FTis testimony buttressed upon his own hieh character rnrr'ed conviction and moved the deeply. Rev. Mr. Kaili then clinched tn» nails already driven. Next followed a remarkable scene when Mrs. W. H. Rice took up the consideration of "The Mother's Religious Duty to Her Children." It is idle to endeavor to reproduce an address in which English and Hawaiian alternated from sentence to sentence, impassioned with holy fire, flowing from a heart full of love for the people of Hawaii and an experience enriched by long years of intimate association with them. It suffices to say that Mrs. Rice's appeal stirred the consciences of those present as no one else had done. Some of the audience (gathered from a wide area) were so overcome as to be compelled to leave the house and after the meeting they were found by the speaker in tears, ready to confess faults and determined in future to stand for cleaner, holier living. At the request of the Association the "Garden Island" was given the honor of publishing Mrs. A. S. Wilcox's beautiful paper which followed Up and deepened the impressions made by Mrs. Rice. Next Mr. Theodore Richards in an address of great power pressed home to fathers their responsibility, convincing them of their duty to be priests in their own homes, to live out the Christ-life before their children, to hold their boys to truth and righteousness by personal comradeship with them in pastimes and studies, never to let go of their sympathies but to be their true hero. With this as a fitting climax the program came to a close leaving in the minds of all present definite memories which long will influence life and conD. S. duct. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. A. M. Merrill It has been said that the institutions of each epoch of history, whatever their functions, have had a decided family likeness. This is especially true of the relationship between the successive systems of education and the successive social states with which they have co-existed. In the age of political despotism, academic discipline was equally harsh and autocratic. When the authority of kings was absolute and the justice of their edicts unquestionable, the teaching of children could scarcely be anything but dogmatic; and when creeds and their interpretations were received from an infallible authority, it was necessary that students should be taught to believe and ask no questions. But with the increase of political liberty, with greater freedom of action and thought, and s :, *F' -"» to receive in lime the arldre" "f with infinite additions to the general Vfr« N"k'iina necessitates nnstponemcnt of its stock of knowledge, the old grammarpublication until our next issue.

There are 1,585 Chinese children in the schools of the Territory, and perhaps as many more that ought to be in school. It is important that these children should receive a proper Christian education, not only because they will some day be American citizens, but because of the vast amount of good they can do in the cause of Christ in China. Chinese missionaries educated here have an infinite advantage over both the native missionaries in China and the foreigners, for they already have the language which the foreigner must acquire, and they are free from many of the inborn superstitions that still cling to the native missionary educated at home. The principal institution provided for the Christian education of the Chinese of the, Territory is Mills Institute, located in Honolulu. This school was started twelve years ago by Mr. Frank W. Damon, who has done more for the education of the Chinese than any other man in the Territory. The school was started as a Christian School Home for Chinese boys who wished to go to the city for the purpose of attending the government schools. The demands for entrance were so great that two dormitories were soon built and teachers provided to instruct the boys who immediately filled them. Since then over three hundred boys and young men have been connected with the boarding department, and many others have attended the classes as day students. Many of these are now filling responsible positions throughout the Territory, many are prominent in church affairs and some are actively engaged in evangelistic work. Kind friends have contributed to the support of the school and thus made it possible to continue it from year to year, but the, growth of the work has been greatly hindered by lack of space.. At the present time an effort is being made to procure a larger tract of land near the city of Honolulu where permanent buildings may be put up and the school be given a chance to expand as the needs require. This work certainly deserves to be perpetuated, for from a business standpoint, there is no field for philathropic investment that will net greater results for all capital and labor invested than Christian education for the Chinese. With a well equipped institution of this kind the Christians of Hawaii can exert an inestimable influence upon the four hundred million of Chinese in the home-land, and the Territory can make herself truly blessed among nations. �8 THE FRIEND A NOTE OF VICTORY. By Katheryn C. McLeod. Several of those who have spoken before me on this subject of Christian Education in Hawaii, have sounded a faintly hopeful note. I welcome the sound, however faint, for too little of that music cheers the hearts of the toilers in this field. On the contrary, the newcomer is not long in the work before becoming conscious of a chorus behind the scenes chanting a subdued but persistent "Miserere," and the too susceptible hearer must employ a strong auto-suggestion if he would be withheld from obediently organizing a funeral march. To descend from the realm of metaphor, the plain fact is that discouragement surrounds the worker on every side, and the substance of the discouragement is about this. It is said that much of what has been done for the Hawaiian has counted for naught; that despite his Christian teaching he still believes more or less in the old gods and the old ways of life, lacking moral character and social purity; that education has not yet taught him to reason for himself, or manual training developed habits of thrift, industry, or prudent thought for the morrow. It is also said that the hoys and girls who are educated in the schools are spoiled for their homes—that they feel themselves too clever to work, and superior to their parents, and, in general, fall into a last state which is worse than the first. It is not for the comparatively newcomer to dispute all of this. In many cases it is undoubtedly true, but it happens to be those cases which attract notice, and by them the casual observer judges the whole work, while the great mass of unobtrusive well-doing goes tinhonored and unsung. Depend upon it, the Lord seeth not as man sceth, in this respect. There are undoubtedly more than the discouraged Elijahs dream of, who have not yet bowed the knee to Bael, and remain the salt of their land and people. To the mental vision which takes always the bird's-eye view, in which details assume their true relation to the whole, these discouraging features appear only as bits of flotsam and jetson on the great stream of Giristian education, or as impeding rocks, which may mar the beauty of the stream, or deflect its course for a time, but cannot really check its onward progress. Admitting their existence, then, I still question whether such conditions constitute sufficient ground for discouragement, and still feel irresistibly impelled to view the situation with the charity which "hopeth all things." Christian education here in Hawaii has projKised and attempted to build a new istics, so should we.

Founded forty people of noble Christian character, its aim was then, is now, and ever should be, Christian training for girls—a training of head and heart and hands, to fit them to establish model Christian homes, or to support themselves by honest means. That school should be to island girls of any nationality what Mount Holyoke College is and has been to the young women of New England—a school whose graduates shall bear its hall mark as distinct as if its name were written in their foreheads, and that hall markshould be Christian character. To accomplish any of its aims successfully, the school should maintain a high standard as to the character of its teaching staff, should have a healthy location, and a building characterized by extreme simplicity, whose only contrast with their homes would be in its cleanliness, neatness and good taste. And for all these things it requires money. I should stake my faith unhesitatingly upon all of the best element of the Christian people patronizing such a school, could it once be established and maintained in a manner which should inspire their confidence, both by what it would be in itself, and by its fruits. But at present the school possesses none of these requirements except the first-mentioned, and how long first-class teachers can.be retained in unhealthy surroundings and a dilapidated building, making bricks without straw, is a question whose obvious answer is not cheering. A start has been made, however, toward raising the means for better conditions. Eighteen hundred dollars in extra funds have been promised, and it is confidently expected the amount will reach twenty-four hundred. If the start which this will give us can be maintained, and if donations will in future flow to it as freely as in its earlier days, or if it can "Say not, 'the struggle naught availeth only get money enough to launch out and The labor and the wounds are vain, make some money for itself, better days The enemy faints not nor faileth may dawn in which it will draw nearer to And as things have been they remain.' the fulfillment of its founder's ideal. cation is but an upward and onward movement of a people, and in what race or land has such been set in motion withIt is out the same immediate result? only obedience to the great natural law that re-action must equal action. Bible students know that the rebound of the Jews from idolatry landed them in the opposite extreme of abject slavery to the commandments and traditions which they fondly imagined were the religion of their fathers. The reaction from the laxity and vice of cavalier England was Puritanism, and the re-action from Puritanism was the great wave of infidelity which swept over New England about a century ago. Only in these days, so many years after those stern-faced Puritans left England, has the pendulum of Anglo-Saxon religion settled into a happy medium. Wherever education is a new thing, for individual or nation, its first shallow draughts intoxicated the brain. This has been the case with negro education in the southern states, but better days are dawning there. The children of those whose heads were turned by a little learning, take soberly now what falls to their lot, and go out from school to be lights in their communities. I have no doubt that could statistics be secured of all the graduates of schools in these islands, the majority would be found doing good and not evil. The evil that they do gets noised abroad, while the works of the good seem not only to follow them, but to remain with them in their graves. Let us give to our Hawaiian brother, then, honor where honor is due, and all honor is his, for considering his handicaps, his achievements are phenomenal. If he gets ahead in the next thousand years as he has in the four score past, the Anglo-Saxon may not even be here to look to his laurels. years ago by For while the tired waves, vainly break- SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF Seem here no painful inch to gain, HAWAII Far back, through creek and inlet making, By S.

We now have to note as sixth in order, a most singular event, which made to disappear suddenly the last formidable element of opposition to the teachings of the Missionaries. This was the strange blotting out of Governor Boki from the scene. Boki was a princely chief of exceptional ability and great force, whose wife, Liliha, was also a princess of strong nature and much fascination. This noble pair had been the chief companions chosen by King Lilioliho in his visit to the English Court in 1824. After the sudden death of Lilioliho, and their return home in 1825, their superior intelligence and social experience abroad had secured for Boki after the death of his great brother Kalanimoku the highest position in the Government under the Regent Kaahumanu. He became the Governor of the Capital town, Honolulu, with command of the military forces. He was also appointed the Kahu or special guardian of the young King Kauikeaouli, still a tender lad. Occupying these high positions, Boki's authority and influence were great, and his moral and political attitude grew to the most serious importance. This personal attitude of Boki rapidly developed into a decided opposition to the influence of the missionaries, and of their ardent friend the Regent Kaahumanu. By 1828, he had become openly allied to the two chief elements of antagonism to the Regent and the missionaries. The leading one of these elements was the combination of lewd and intemperate whites, headed by the British and American Consuls, in order to break down the new laws against prostitution and drunkenness. The other and allied element of political opposition was that of Catholicism, of which Boki and Liliha made themselves the patrons, in opposition to Kaahumanu. Two Roman Catholic priests, Messrs. Bachelot and Short, had landed at Honolulu in 1827. They were very pious and devoted men, but naturally followed the practice of their church in its deadly and destructive opposition to Protestants. This determined their active political alliance to the anti-missionary party. Quoting Alexander's succinct account "Meanwhile Governor Boki continued his course of extravagance, intemperance and disloyalty. He set up a tavern on the harbor front, the 'Blonde Hotel,' and leased for a distillery a building which Kalanimoku had built for a sugarhouse. To supply sugar-cane for this distillery he leased land in Manoa Valley, but Kaahumanu cancelled the lease, and had potatoes planted instead of cane, �10 THE FRIEND "Instigated by the two foreign consuls, he plotted todestroyKaahumanuand supplant her as regent. In pursuance of this design, he sounded nearly every high chief in the country without success, and labored in vain to shake the young king's attachment to the Queen Regent. About the beginning of 1829, he collected armed men at Waikiki, and civil war seemed imminent, when Kekuanaoa, his fellowvoyager to England, boldly went alone to his camp, and dissuaded him from his mad designs." A very evil additional work of Boki was his misuse of his official influence over the young King to initiate him into the Governor's own intemperate indulgences, the beginning of habits which became the chief curse of Kauikeaouli's life. Meantime the Governor became deeply involved in debt. And in November, 1529, the visit of the U. S. warship "Vincemies," which strongly supported the laws of Kaahumanu, and the influence of the missionaries, added to Boki's d'scouragement. Just about this juncture, Boki made a great and rash move. The great source of money in Hawaii, sandalwood, had become nearly exterminated. Hearing of an island in the South Pacific which abounded in the precious wood, Boki hastily manned the king's brig "Kamehameha," and the "Becket," the one with 300, the other with 179 men, including nearly the whole company of opposers which he had collected. On December 2d, 1829, they sailed, "touching at the island of Rotuma, where Boki remained four days, and took on lxiard a large number of natives to assist in cutting sandal-wood. The 'Becket' lay there ten days longer, and then followed on her way to their destination, which was Eromango, in the New Hebrides. "Nothing more was ever seen or heard of Boki's vessel, the 'Kamehameha,' and her fate is still a mystery." The "Becket" lost most of her people by disease and hostile savages, and reached Honolulu after eight months' absence, with only twenty survivors. Thus suddenly and mysteriously perished the most dangerous opponent of the Gospel in Hawaii. Liliha continued the opposition of her lost husband. She became the sole chiefish patron of the Catholics during the succeeding years, but her influence upon the nation was nugatory.

The two boats are now ready on the beach, and the crews are watching for smoke on the horizon. "Matters are now quite peaceful on Nauru. Next Sabbath we will be able, thank (rod, to baptise 14 more candidates. "We have no school just now, as the Governor is building a road around the island on which young and old are working. It soon will be finished and we shall have at last a good road; a great help in our work. Our bicycle expenses will thus be considerably reduced. "We have now two Nauru teachers stationed, paying them each 150 marks, besides the Marshall teacher who receives 200 marks. "I expect supplies for my Catechism and other books with the steamer, and shall print them at once. "We have very little rain at present, the wet season which we thought would set in in December has failed us this year. But the missionary work is once more in a fine condition." Under date of April 6th, Mr. Delaporte writes: "Many months have gone by since we last heard from you, I suppose because our steamer has failed us. This is very unfortunate indeed. Most of the whites on our island have had little or no foreign food to eat since February. However, on April 2nd, relief came in the form of the trading schooner 'Triton,' belonging to the Jaluit Gesellschaft. 'We had figured quite closely at what time at the latest we would need our fresh provisions. Had the steamer from Sydney arrived on schedule time (Feb. 8), all would have been well, as we had enough of staple goods left to pull us through until then, but when the vessel did not make its appearance on that date, things began to look very interesting. On March Ist we had absolutely nothing left in our store-room except some milk and a few canned vegetables. Flour, sugar, rice, coffee, meats, soap, in fact everything had given out and Mrs. Delaat * "When the schooner was sighted we did not know what to do, being aware that our year's supplies were laying somewhere. When we found out through the officer of the schooner that no vessel could be expected from Sydney until the latter part of July we felt free to buy sufficient food to last for three or four months, knowing that our Honolulu friends did not want us to starve. We trust that this unexpected outlay (of $153.03) will not be a total loss, as naturally our provisions will last so much longer after we get them, unless they arrive in a damaged condition. So please pay this amount, and let us hope that for many months to come nothing will be required except the payment of the freight bill on the supplies sent by the Isleworth from Sydney to Nauru, wdiicb bill I will send you after we receive our goods. "Next Sabbath we will D. V., admit 13 persons, to the communion. I am sorry that my book materials do not come until July." Under date of May 4, i.lr. Delaporte writes: "Church and schools are flourishing. The people are as faithful as ever in attending services, and many endeavor to follow the Savior all the way. Quite a number of marriage ceremonies have been solemnized since writing last and we trust that these young couples will ever remember their vows. "Our congregations donot look as clean and tidy as they might do, but there is absolutely no soap on the Island, not only among the natives, but also among the whites. The scarcity is due to the wreck of the 'Oceana.' "Nauru is suffering from a continued drought just now; we have had but two or three inches of rain since December. Many trees (cocoanut trees?) have died already and matters look distressing indeed. We have but 50 or 60 gallons of drink-water left. According to the oldest inhabitants no rain need be expected until the end of the year. Of course there are now poor prospects of being able to take up a contributon next July. What a boon it would now be to have a large tank full of rain water. The natives have very little to eat besides fish. The water in the wells (water holes) is hardly fit to drink, being nearly salt. We have a man engaged to do nothing else but carry water for us from a well nearly a mile * * * *' "Mrs. Delaporte feels quite well again, and the children are well also. "We have not received any mail from you since October when Mr. Walkup passed by. We expect quite a budget of letters by the next steamer. "Please remember us to all who inquire about our work." Mrs. Delaporte to Mrs. Gulick writes, May 6th, 1904: "The children are asleep yet, and it is quite cool this early morning, but before another hour we will have more than 100 degrees heat on our verandas. It is good to he able to tell you that we are quite well, especially so the children. Little Mabel is not quite nine months old, but is able to stand up alone.

However, I, manage to get now and then a few eggs, and once in a while a fowl for soup. "I wish the Kusaien friends could spare us a little of their rain and beautiful soil. We are working hard at present to lay out a garden; the bush people are carrying soil from the interior every day, while Mr. Delaporte and his school children make quite often a tour of five or six miles to get stones for the paths, etc. Perhaps you will have an opportunity some day to send us a little seed, such things as will grow in sandy soil and which will get along with little or no rain.

"You will be interested to hear that I had quite easy times in my kitchen before the schooner came. As we had no food I did not need to cook. We were eating scraped cocoanuts twice a day.

Of its merits it were not enough to that "it was the first of its kind." As to the character of the singing in the Congress of Songs much kindly comment has been made. To be sure some criticism of the rather ambitious nature of some of the selections has been heard. At any rate it were better to err in that direction than in the other—for music's sake. Certain it was that the "big effect of the singing of 300 voices at one time was lost by reason of the lack of acoustic properties of the stage. Most of the volume was dissipated in the "flies." The truth of this could be easily seen when say Normal School chorus with that of all the choruses; the additional numbers added little. Of course in the case of the lesser number, they were well forward on the stage. Another year, means may be found to get the benefit of the numbers by better acoustic provision. The Children's Contest and Carnival deserves much more mention than has been made of it. The only feature of it that was conspicuously poor was the attendance of the people. So it is but a small part of Honolulu's population who know experimentally how well the children of the public school sing under the instruction of Mrs. Tucker. Kaabumanu school, to be sure, won the prize on a division of the points, but it had been a nice thing for any individual to have picked out the best work with any confidence. As these choruses come from the rank and file of the school it is safe to infer good singing right through. That is not all: there is insured to the future an intelligent music-loving community. Ten years from now music festivals will be attended as well as the Orpheum prize Whether the comfights are now. munity will profit therein, let any From a spectacular point one judge. of view the day at the Boys' Field might well be called "lovely" without doing violence to English. Rice & Perkins have some beautiful photographs which would pay inspection. The stand turned out to be all that was expected of it in comfort to the singers, and there was no difficulty in hearing any one of the choruses at the farthest distance any seat was placed. FINANCIALLY. It was hoped that there would be a large net return from the two events. As it turned out the Congress at the Opera House was much more successful by the dollar standard than the Boys' Field Contest, though the expenses in the first were far heavier. The Congress netted $242.20. while the Contest and Carnival netted $115.74. Of the total $35803 it was found necessary to put in permanent improvements to the amount of $220.50. So the debt on the stand to the amount of nearly $1,000 has not been materially reduced. The managers are proposing to move ahead persistently until this debt is removed. I'KOSPF.CTS MUSICALLY. Of the effects too little has been noticed of the tremenduous stimulus to good music at the fountain head of society— the schools. Another year the singing will be much better, which is saying considerable. It is safe to say that nowhere will greater attractions be offered in the wav of children's singing than in Honolulu. Nor is this all. General chorus one compared the fine volume of the work must improve apace, With the schools at a piesent foundation, oratorio work can be begun soon. It is proposed that the Second Musical Festival be much more representative. We can have instrumental music next year. What is more alluring, we can easily have soloists from abroad, either instrumental or vocal. A system of popular subscription will secure this and a body of representative musicians and music lovers may be called together to consider plans this winter. In the first place, what is the time best suited for a festival ? Because other communities prefer May, may not serve as an argument here. The "burden of proof" rest with the challenger to May's claim notwithstanding. The press will be open no doubt to a discussion of this question. HAWAIIAN MISSION CHILDREN'S SOCIETY. About six weeks ago an appeal was printed in the P. C. A. that Hawaii send some representative to join in the celebration of the Oklahoma Day at the St. Louis Exposition. Shortly after reading that notice, soul; very interesting facts about Oklahoma came under the eye of the writer through the favor of reading a letter of one of the Cousins, Mr. Samuel Chester Andrews, eldest son of Rev. Claudius B. and Mrs. Anne (Gilson) Andrews, and we have obtained permission to copy a portion of that letter. Mr. S. C. Andrews, who left the Islands soon after his mother's death, was educated in the United States, married in the early seventies, but lost his wife a few years after the birth of his two daughters, Mabel and Louise, who are now grown to womanhood, and have been educated at Ann Arbor, Michigan. This letter was written to his eldest daughter, Mabel, who is soon to be married to the young gentleman of her choice, and seems to be recommending Oklahoma to their favorable consideration as a place to dwell in. Our Cousin S. C. Andrews has been for many years connected with a large book agency and publishing company in Chicago, and seems to be a commercial agent for them. He writes thus: "I was traveling all the Summer and Pall of 1903 in the southwest for Thompson & Thomas. I got as far as Oklahoma, Ind. Ter., and was much pleased with the country and prospects. Oklahoma ten years ago was a bare, wild prairie, with no inhabitants to speak of. Today it has 700,000, and is growing faster than any country in the world. Indian Territory is nearly as large as Ohio, and has only 100.000 of Indian population.

It will not be many months, I think, before I. T. is admitted as a State, and then the country will go ahead by leaps and bounds, when the incubus of Indian control is taken off. The Indians themselves are the wealthiest class of people in the world today, as their lands have increased enormously in value on their hands. * In Indian Territory there is an enormous amount of coal, oil, gas, iron, leacT, zinc, marble and other resources, and they never have crop failures as in Kansas and Nebraska.

Charles K. Hyde is much improved in health but will remain several months longer at the medicinal springs in Germany, where he has received so much benefit, and join his mother later. Albert Kualii Lyman and Charles R. Bishop Lyman, younger sons of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus A. Lyman of Hilo, graduated from the Kamehameha Manual School on the evening of June 7th. The parents came down to attend the graduation exercises. Mis. Rebecca Lyman has not been in Honolulu for the past 17 years and sees many wonderful changes in that time. A letter from Mrs. Clara (Dibble) Inch, widow of Philip Inch, late of Washington, D. C, on June ioth, acknowledges the receipt of the Missionary Album thus: "I received the album, and deeply appreciate it. It is a link between the past and the present. Those times are becoming history and this album is binding facts and faces together in such a way that those times and people will ever be with us in blessed fellowship." Mrs. Inch resides in Washington, and her only daughter Agnes, is her constant companion, though she is, as her mother writes, deeply engaged in a voluntary missionary work. She meets with many wonderful results in the reformation of very bad drunkards and does constantly for them and their families. Mrs. I.'s only son "Robert is a lawyer in New York City, but finds time for a mission class Sunday afternoons." lets, reports them thriving. She says: "The four little Christians have all had the measles at once. Think of it! But they were not really sick; only, as their mother writes, 'if one ran against another, there was a snarl. It is surely a good thing to be through with." Mrs. L. gave a complete account of the Hawaiian curios she has inherited from her Grandpa Ruggles, of which she says:"The finest thing is a feather cape of red and yellow feathers some 15 inches deep, with a yellow silk lining. It was given him by some chief, and is still in good condition, very little moth eaten." She also describes a "Niho palaoa," though she did not call To Mrs. Lucy Etta Wilcox Sloggett's it by name. home came on May 31st a fine little son, at Lihue, Kauai.

The Fifty-second Annual Report of the Mission Children's Society is now ready for the printer. The full list of officers for the ensuing year has been completed, and is as follows: A. B.

The coming year bids fair to live long in the annals of the Society, as matters of importance are pending. MRS. R. W. ANDREWS, Sect H. M. C. S. ALEXANDER HOUSE. Wailuku, Maui. The past two months have been full of pleasant work, a little of which is worthy of mention in these columns. A May-pole drill was very prettily done by twelve girls from the Huntington Club. Refreshments were sold on the lanai. A rummage sale of partially worn clothing, marked at very low prices, netted quite a little sum of money for Alexander House, although its main object was to put fairly good clothing within the means of needy persons, who prefer to buy their clothes rather than to sell their self-respect by constantly accepting gifts. ()ne beautiful May afternoon several members of the I lima Club took their lunch up lao Valley, and a right good time we had. During this month two socials for Japanese women have been very much enjoyed both by the interesting little women, who found an almost new world of pleasure, and by Mrs. Gay and myself. ()ne social has been held for boys and girls of all nationalites. Two weeks before the close of the Kindergarten term, Miss Gay took her flock of children for a picnic. The last day of school the little ones entertained a number of parents and friends, by their pretty games and songs and then entertained themselves with cookies and bananas. The few who realize that their much loved teacher is theirs no more are really sorry to part with her to whom they have always been much attached. These partings are exceedingly unwelcome and, personally, I can only hope that Miss Gay's successors for years to �THE FRIEND 14 come may meet her own high standard of sincerity and loyalty. It is equally hard to part with Mrs. Gay, and to realize that her active work among our friends is at an end, tho' the good she has accomplished has become a very part of the lives of many. The mothers enjoyed their last meeting with Miss Gay very much, and, while their babies played and rolled on the floor in glee, the women listened to Chinese music on a gramophone, wove colored mats and played games heartily. On May 20 the first social meeting of the Maui Free Kindergarten Association was held at Alexander House. The report does not properly belong to our work, but will be of interest. The directors and assistants of the four Kindergartens, the Alexander House worker and the Ladies' Aid Society of Makawao, by virtue of their support of two kindergartens, are considered members of the Association. Others are invited to join and pay an annual membership fee of $1.00. Six or seven joined at this meeting. In the absence of the President, Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, the Second Vice-President, Miss Holden, of the Lahaina Kindergarten, presided. After listening to the excellent papers and entering into the games illustrating one of them, the members were quite ready for the picnic dinner. It is hoped that this Association will interest many more and prove of benefit to the kindergartens of the island. Since the withdrawal of the pledge of the Lahaina Plantation from the support of the Kindergarten, its future has been most insecure. Gifts of $400 have made it hopeful for next year, and we are most grateful to the givers. A balance of $162 remains to he raised and any contributions may be sent to either Miss Holden of Lahaina or Miss E. A. Babb of WaiE. A. B. luku. EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM ROBERT S. ANDREWS. U. S.

ThanksHeartily The Friend desires to call especial attention to the generous action both of the Business Department and of the Editor of The Advertiser in their enthusiastic support of the entertainment entitled Old Japan given on the evening of July 22 for the benefit of The Christian Club House on Ktiktii street. Notice after notice gratuitously printed expounded the various parts of the program and gave the reading public an intelligent knowledge-of what was to be presented. Those who attended were able to understand the meaning of what they saw and consequently enjoyed the occasion hugely. The Daily Press of the United States is strictly for business and that explains its excellence. But some of the noblest charities of the country owe their existence to its disinterested love of good things. It is a pleasure to record one more of the many kindly services of our own local daily and to tell one of our good friends how grateful we are for help that was both needed and generously accorded. T. K. These words are equivalent to those which head this column and being meant for our Japanese friends will be fully understood. Side by side with The Advertiser in making '*( )ld Japan" a success stood the Hawaii Shimpo and Yamato Sliimbiiii. As soon as they learned that the project was to afford Japanese gentlemen a pleasant club house embodying gymnasium, recreation, assembly and bathing departments on a broad humanitarian basis these enterprising journals with their characteristic enthusiasm began to champion the undertaking. In every possible way they called upon Japanese residents to rally to the support of the movement as a feature of larger life for their countrymen in this city. Their editors clearly perceived that if such an institution could be allowed to demonstrate its usefulness it must of necessity prove the pioneer to others throughout the Islands. One of the chief features of life in Japan is its many good times. There is much of hard work, there is also the relief of holidays, picnics, excursions, religious feasts, mountain climbing and the like. These the poorest enjoy freely. But Hawaii No. 8 is an endless treadmill with very little to relieve the monotony. No wonder the laborers move about constantly- The Christian Club House aims to help satisfy the craving for relaxation which is so strong and so attractive a passion among the Japanese. The Japanese editors of Honolulu have perceived and appreciated all this to the full and hence their active support of the entertainment whose object it was to place the club house on a firm financial footing. We thank them most heartily for this cordial spirit of co-operation. Strikes Again Waipahu seems to have reaped the whirlwind. Having provoked its Japanese laborers to a justifiable strike and having deservedly lost, just as we foresaw and at the time predicted it gave encouragement to agitators to provoke needless conflicts. The ignorant Japanese is especially prone to the disease of mass infection. Excitable and lacking judgment he is very easily moved to mob action. Like all ignorant folk he does not know when he has gone for enough nor when to stop. He is a rare pre\- for conscienceless agitators.. The only wise method is to treat such a laborer with absolute fairness and determined firmness and to give no just cause for an industrial conflict. For if he have right on his side and as a consequence wins one battle, he fancies himself stronger than he is and is led to provoke contests where right is against him. Though certain to lose such a battle, it may cost much to beat him. Waipahu has found this out. Its manager deserves praise for the wise and forceful manner in which he brought the strike to an end. We are glad to record that the local Buddhist priest came out frankly and helpfully on the right side in the late strike. Buddhist influence in Hawaii has not always proved a peaceful industrial factor- It is pleasant to record this hopeful change of base. We trust Waipahu will soon add to its conservative peace-guaranteeing forces by securing a resident Christian Evangelist. For we have known of many instances where a brave upright Christian leader has averted or led his countrymen to corclude strikes which had no real cause. �4 THE FRIEND Good Service And it was Good A letter from Dr. Kincaid reports delightful experiences in connection with the delivery of the baccalaureate sermon at lowa College, the reception of his doctorate at Williams where Edward Everett Hale was a companion in honor and the graduation of his daughter at Smith College. The Doctor's eloquence is being much sought after, invitations coming to him to supply some of the larger and more important pulpits of the East. In this connection he finds opportunity to speak golden words for Hawaii. Believing that in so doing Dr. Kincaid is rendering these Islands a very important service, Central Union Church has voted to grant him leave of absence for the month of August so as to enable him to accept a few more of the requests to speak which are being showered upon him. The present supply of its pulpit will be continued another four weeks. We have been favored with the advance sheets of the Annual Report of the Evangelical Association which bears the above title. It is a handsome piece of typography departing from time honored usage in being adorned with cuts. Both the Gazette Company and the Robert Grieve firm have had a hand in its production and it reflects credit upon the excellent half tone plates made by the former and the artistic press work of the latter. The work of the year is told in detail by a score or more of those busy on the field- It is a record of real achievement and shows well the many sided enterprises maintained by the Board. For the first time in years ministerial standing appears relieved of the anomaly of double membership here and on the Mainland. The report will repay careful reading. The Friend's Travels These are by no means confined to these Islands. A recent issue of Mission News published in Tokyo quotes a couple of our editorials while Dr. A. E. Dunning Editor of the Congrcgationttlist, which bears the reputation of being the best denominational newspaper published in America, writes as follows: "I have noticed lately that we do not get the Friend regularly and find that it is not on our exchange list. I have ordered The Congregationatist sent it and please see that the exchange is made.'' It is not often that a tiny sheet like ours coming from out the mid-Pacific meets with the request to exchange its 12 annual numbers with the 52 issues of such an able widely read periodical as the Congregationalist of Boston. We are glad to think that the work out here is thought of amid the busy stir of New England 5,000 miles to the cast and the warlike enthusiasm of The Sunrise Empire 4,000 miles to westward. WORTH REMEMBERING. Not only is this true of the face above but also of the record of service accomplished in one brief year at Kohala Seminary by Mrs. Olive L. Bristol. It is like a page from a fairy tale—the story of what was done in reorganizing this school, erecting new buildings notwithstanding diminished sources of support and bringing the year to an end without debt- Mrs. Bristol has been called back to the mainland and Hawaii will miss her presence sorely but her work will abide. Kohala's best aloha will go with her to her future sphere of labor and influence. Suffrage for Hawaiians Elsewhere we print in its entirety an editorial which appeared lately in the Advertiser. We do this because we wish it to be read, by our subscribers on the Mainland who do not see our daily paper, Those who have read The Friend for the past seven or eight months do not need to be told that we believe the Advertiser to be right and Professor Moses in error on this matter of the ballot for the Hawaiian people. There were good reasons in human nature for the swing to the extreme by Hawaiians upon the completion of annexation. If after the events of the reigns of their last two sovereigns and the circumstances attending the revolution and final absorption of this Ter- ritory by the United States there had been no resentment and ill feeling, it would have been a miracle. But the past seven months have shown that these gentle Islanders are susceptible to reason and responsive to appeals to their higher natures. It looks now as though Hawaii were to prove the proposition that given the proper environment and training a people may be fitted to participate in their own self government within a reasonably short time. Too much must not be read into this statement. Hawaii is remarkaly well conditioned for the experiment being tried here. It contains a relatively large proportion of highly educated Americans who passionately love the Islands and will sacrifice dearly to make them what they once have been and again will be—the best governed spot on the globe. The Puritan element is dominent here—not the narrow Puritanism of bygone ages but the healthy, forward-moving, liberal-minded Puritanism of the 20th century that loves righteousness and means to practice brotherhood. An unusually large percentage of the wealth of this community is in the hands of men with missionary ancestry who are not ashamed of their forbears and mean to carry on their work to perfection. Under such conditions Hawaii is the safest place in the world to attempt the experiment of granting the suffrage to a people lately out of barbarism. It is worth while conducting such an experiment and while caution would have dictated a slower policy Congress did wisely in acting as the majority demanded and giving the question of a wide open suffrage a thorough test here. In case of failure little harm will have been done, for at any moment Congress may reverse its action. For the present, however, Hawaii must be suffered to work out its own salvation without any changes in the suffrage features of its organic act. Six months ago it would have been difficult to write thus, but the pendulum had then reached the extreme end of its course, affairs were as bad and the outlook as dark as they well could be. It has begun to swing towards better things and the dictate of wisdom is "let well enough alone." A GreatLoss Before the end of this month our brother beloved, Rev. George L. Pearson, expects to visit the Mainland to attend the Methodist Conference to which he belongs. We rejoice with him in the prospective vacation. He deserves a good season of rest. Few men in any line of effort here bear heavier responsibilities, accomplish more or better work �5 THE FRIEND. or spend themselves more widely and helpfully than the pastor of the Honolulu M. E. Church. We understand that it is the purpose of the conference not to send Mr. Pearson back to the Islands. If this prove to be the case, it will be a sad blow to religious interests here. For Mr. Pearson is not only a fine preacher, a devoted pastor, a public spirited citizen exerting wide influence for every good cause but he is a Twentieth Century Christian leader, carrying no narrow minded denominational bee in his bonnet. This does not mean that he is not a Methodist loyal to the core, always seeking to advance the interests of his branch of Christendom. For he is one of the wisest and most successful leaders connected with Methodism which it has been our good fortune ever to meet, and we have known distinguished churchmen like Bishop Foss, Dr- Buckley and others of similar fame. But Mr. Pearson believes and practices brotherhood in his relations with members of other communions. He has farsightedly built up a strong aggregation of Korean and Japanese churches on these Islands and is singularly beloved by all the evangelists and Christians from the Empire and Kingdom across the sea. It is not every one who is fitted to supervise a work among Japanese, but Mr. Pearson has proved his possession of rare faculties for influencing these charming people. It is bad policy to exchange for an unknown quantity a man so remarkably gifted for his work as the Presiding Elder of this Territory. We trust the conference will think twice before consenting to move him elsewhere, for we doubt whether any Mainland position can offer as wide opportunity for good as that which he now holds. Waialua Equipped One of the dominant features of the Japanese quarter on this enterprising plantation has l>een a picturesque Buddhist Temple. Occupying a prominent site and tastefully built in accordance with Buddhist canons of ecclesiastical arthitecture it has stood as a challenge to the Christian forces of the district. The management of Waialua has for some time warmly sympathized with the desire of the local Christian evangelist Mr. T. Fukao to see this challenge accepted by the erection of a Christian meeting house- This sympathy has taken the form of dollars and cents and now Waialua has its neat little Japanese church home. The evening of July 21 was chosen for the dedication. At the appointed hour the guests found the building brilliant outside with gaily colored Japanese lanterns while within it was tastefully decorated with ferns and crowded with an intelligent enthusiastic science of which these men were but the audience that overflowed through both index, in time the heart of the Nation doors and windows. A little company of was stirred and he won his great victory. In America uncursed with the burden white friends from the plantation were on hand to show their interest which the of an established form of religion there heat tried hard to dampen but could not is fortunately no such thing as a noncool, while the exercises in an unknown comformist conscience.

Waialua has quite a number of earnest Christians but they need to be rounded up into a business like church organization. Mr. Fukao intends to do this at once. We look for good results there and join the Japanese in expressing deep gratitude to Mr- and Mrs. Goodale and the other friends on the plantation for their generous assistance. FA ORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Our English friends are fond of the phrase "The Non-conformist Conscience." That this is more than a happy word picture Premier Balfour is finding out these days when the battle is being so fiercely joined between Public Education and Education by a segment of the Church. There can be no question which wav the victory will ultimately go. For half "a century British public men have been confronted by a mighty power which few of them have dared carelessly to arouse to opposition. It is not a tangible, organized influence yet it demands recognition. It is called the non-conformist conscience because it is associated with though by no means confined to, that noble body of public spirited citizens, fearing neither King nor Commons, passionately devoted to the service of righteousness, determined that Great Britain shall act honorably rather than grow rich, therefore constantly taking the platform in advocacy of great causes and in opposition to everything in national life not befitting the Kingdom of God—the non-conformist leaders. When these men, moved by the conviction that some grave national wrong is to be attempted, begin to plead with the nation, statesmen tremble; for then their dreams are troubled with the specter of the nonWhen Lord conformist conscience. Shaftesbury in his diary mournfully wrote of the "opposition or coldness from religionists" he referred to the state church whose clergy with few noble exceptions stood aloof from his movement. But as he confessed again and again the non-com forning ministers were overwhelmingly with him in his battle for industrial freedom. Backed by the con- Kinley of having his ear to the ground that he might catch from afar the rumble of Public Opinion. It would be truer to say that he waited till he was sure of the backing of this mighty moral force the Public Christian Conscience. This was most noticeable just before the Spanish war. He would do nothing until he knew that this power was convinced That free Cuba could never come through ]>eace. It is characteristic of President Roosevelt that he forestalls the declaration of this national sentiment rather than waits till it has spoken. He reads by intuition what this conscience is about to demand and then loses no time in delay. The coal strike arbitration is only one of many evidences of this spirit. The main difference between these two statesmen and President Cleveland is that the latter seemingly cares little for the Public Christian Conscience and all for his own. He makes his own estimate final. This is a magnificent characteristic and stamps its owner a dominating man among men. But it is a. mistaken ideal for a social age- It belongs to the past when individualism triumphed and society had no This explains the massive rights. of strength Mr. Cleveland's character and the woeful weakness of +iis mistakes. The whole chapter of his blundering over Hawaii is a case in pointThere can be no question that what makes a nation strong is the high development and sensitiveness of its Public Conscience. When this is dominated by the ideals of the Cross it deserves the name of the Public Christian Conscience. In the end this is a final force, absolutely certain to win. Hence the importance of its creation, its education and of constant appeal to it on great questions of right and wrong. In every community this work of developing an intelligent sensitive social conscience is the predominant task of men of public spirit. There can be no question that Hawaii affords a fine field for this form of enterprise. The response made by the Legislature in recent special session to the appeal of our Governor was due to the demand of this mighty social force. Our legislators, though all unconscious of it, stood in awe of the aroused conscience of the people. Such a demonstration of the power of the social �THE FRIEND 6 moral nature is lwth a sign of health and a great encouragement to fighters for righteousness. There arc still any number of worlds left to be conquered. The conscience of Hawaii is dead asleep on the saloon question, it is moribund upon the evils of prize fighting. Our daily press rightly complains of the increasing evidences of brutality in the homes of some of Unpeople and ]X)ints to the supineness of the law in the face of such cruelty on the part of husbands to their wives that the details cannot be printed, Vet there is no word of condemnation for the saloon evil which fosters the passion to be cruel nor for public exhibitions of brutality which harden men to sights of pain and teach them how to wound without com- punction. With no lack of inducement to attempt of real difficulty yet with assurance of ultimate victory, if they persevere. those who believe in the principles of the Cross have ample encouragement and full Opportunity to use every energy in training a regnant Public Christian Conscience here among peoples of widely differing races and in setting it on fire with the D. Swill to realize its ideals. tasks LANAI'S PRIDE. It is a good many years since the Island of Lanai appeared upon the scene of the Evangelical Association with a report of Christian work. Hereafter it will resume its old place and all because of the kindly interest and generous gifts of the owner of the Island; Mr. Charles Gay. After making his purchase, Mr. Gay quickly decided that a church must be of a G*y.

Mingling research study with vacation pleasure it was the writer's privilege, recently, to visit the interesting historic valley of Waimea, on this island of ( )ahu, lying on the route of the railway, between Waialua and kahuku. This somewhat picturesque valley, though small in area, was famed, years ago, for its fruitfulness; and its pink taro was of that choice quality which tradition says be longed exclusively to chief's tables, while the water of its bay, to the present time, is noted as favored of Kuula, the Hawaiian fishermen's deity, for the quantity and quality of its products. Ilany readers of The FRIEND will readily recall various incidents that have helped to make this one of the famous spots of < )ahu's history, the most prominent of which was that unfortunate tragedy in the attack by the natives upon the boat's crew of the second foreign vessel, the Daedalus, which appeared off its shore in May, 17<)2, and the murder of Lieut Hergest the commander, Astronomer Gooch and one seaman. Correcting the statement sometimes made, I say the second foreign arrival, for the Resolution and Discovery, after Cook's death, touched at this locality of windward ( tabu, for water, on their way from Kealakekua to Kauai, February 17, 17~( J. First thought might deem it a waste of time to think of obtaining any information of interest in connection with that occurrence at this late day, yet that was the principal object in mind in our recent visit to the vicinity, hoping thereby to procure sufficient information from the patriarch of the valley. Pelekane, a descendant of early Waimeans, that would identify the place of landing of the party in their quest for water, and the locality of the murderous attack; and if the data obtained may be relied upon (and there is no reason why our informant should furnish any miStatement), the trip was not wholly void of success. This once populous and fruitful valley has suffered many changes with the march of time. The tremendous freshets of sonic five or more years ago terminated the agricultural enterprise of its people by washing out U> sea the growing taro from its terraced banks; the fruit and coffee trees planted along its slopes, and filling up the taro patches and the bed of its stream with debris, rocks and boulders several feet deep. As if this was not misfortune enough, houses and other property were swept away and three lives lost in the effort to rescue personal effects from the mad-rushing torrent which carried away the government bridge and seriously damaged that of the railway company. Last winter's rains also did further injury. Evidences of all this devastation will remain for many years to come. The white sand-beach noted for its small sea-shells found at certain seasons of the year, now closes entirely the mouth of the stream, as it has for a number of years past, though in ancient times, there was free inlet and outlet of ocean and valley waters so that canoes were free to come and go as far Up as the fork of the valley, and it was up this water-way that the boat of the Daedalus coursed, said Pelekane, and landed its party at the western branch. Xcar the base of the bluff on the Waialua side was pointed out as the place where the murder of the officers occurred ; the seaman having been struck down at the boat. Some two years ago our Historical Society assumed the laudable duty of locating the historic spots, or landmarks, of Hawaiian history, that in due time suitable tablets might be erected to commemorate the circumstance or event connected therewith. Deeming the sad incident above referred to as rendering Waimea entitled to such recognition gave the writer additional interest to a pleasurable journey. Some readers may be unaware of the fact that on the top of the eastern bluff of the valley, overlooking the narrow stretch of lowland shore, is located the ruins of one of the celebrated heiaus of this island, known as Pint o Mahuka, the dedicatory fire of which is said to have been felt on distant Kauai. This temple is identified with Kaopulupulu, the martyr kahuna of prophetic power, according to tradition, of the days of Kahahana and Kahekili, and is doubtless one of the spots which the legislature of several years ago had in view when it enacted a law for the preservation of the remaining heiaus, or old temples, throughout the islands. The remaining residents of the valley are now few, and comprise Hawaiians and Japanese whose principal occupation is that of fishing- A little is being done in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, but nothing further in agriculture is in evidence.

SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII. By S. E. Bishop. 7. The Pentecostal Revival of 1837-8. We have now to note the seventh and last of that remarkable series of events, which successively contributed to the rapid and early conquest of the Hawaiian nation by the Gospel of Christ, and determined the permanent occupation of this central island group by that Gospel, making it a Christian land. After the singular removal in Nov., 1829 of the last formidable element of opposition by the strange disappearance of Governor I'oki, the work of evangelization and education rapidly progressed among the very receptive people under the fostering support of Queen KaahuAdded to nianu and her fellow-chiefs. the vigorous agencies of preaching and publishing was in 1831 supplied a High School for natives at Lahainaluna, where for 45 years, youth were trained in their own tongue in a higher literary education. Many of these in a few years went forth to become efficient instructors in the common schools, and some of them to be preachers of the Gospel. During the next seven years, large reinforcements came from home to swell the ranks of the earlier missionaries, including such notable names as Alexander, Armstrong, Lyons, Dibble, Baldwin, Lowell Smith and Coan. A great campaign was in progress, and the Home churches kept the ranks filled with men of power and ardor to support the veterans Bingham, Thurston, Richards and others. Churches were organized throughout the group, and numbers of promising and earnest converts were baptized and admitted to church fellowship. Up to 1837, the total number of admissions to the church during twelve years had been 1131. But during the three succeeding years, such was the marvelous outpouring of Divine Power that 19,773 were added, or nearly one-sixth of the entire �8 population, while a majority of the adults were unreliable though enthusiastic candidates for church fcljowship. The whole nation seemed to press in one body into the fold of the Lord. Enormous congregations everywhere gathered to hang in deep emotion upon the words of the preachers The entire population for over a year were stirred to their depths. The result of this mighty Revival was overwhelming upon the national belief and character. I lawaii became at once a thoroughly Christian Nation, completely converted from its decrepit and infecting heathenism to an ardent and devout loyalty to the Gospel of the Redeemer. Practically for a whole generation the old vile heathenism remained submerged and the whole community lived under a preponderant ascendency of Christian faith and Christian ethics, however imperfectly the latter were practiced in their mF iF PTFMn boundary of Christendom is indeed a noble and conspicuous one. A lofty inspiration here lends itself to the Lord's people to fulfill a worthy destiny. Some ten or more years ago a number of its alumni mindful of the value of preserving its inheritance of noble names and high spirit determined to rally about lives. This vital regeneration in the hearts of the people began at once to bear fruit in their political life. Under the earnest leadership of King and Chiefs civilized Christian Law began to take shape. Free and just government at once began to displace what had been arbitrary and oppressive. A Liberal Parliamentary Constitution became established and developed during the succeeding ten years. Courts became fully organized. Lands were assigned in fee simple to both chiefs and common people. Justice and security displaced oppression and despotism. Thus in ten years after the great Pentecostal Regeneration of the Hawaiian nation, a full Christian Civilization had taken completed form resulting in the complete recognition by the Great Powers of the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent Nation. And in less than thirty years from the first inception of missionary labor, there stood strongly planted in this mid-Pacific a thoroughly Christian State, in the forefront of the great American Christian Civilization, which was beginning to occupy in force the Pacific coast and confront the vast Asiatic Empires of Japan and China. On Hawaii, a point of priceless strategic value had by special Divine Mercy, been occupied in advance to represent to the commerce of the Orient that enlightened American Christianity. Solitary but central in this vast Pacific, Hawaii stands a bright representative of American Christianity, Civilization and Political Life to confront the mighty Orient with those new elements of Occidental Life. May we not discern beyond a doubt, how Hawaii was specially reserved by a great Divine Purpose, protected and nourished so as in the ripeness of time to fulfill this grand object?

This was given on the Boys' Field on the evening of July 21 and proved a great success. Enough money would have been secured to equip the Clubhouse with absolutely necessary features if it had not been for the roughness of a large number of persons who taking advantage of the absence of the police forced their way into the grounds without paying the entrance fei as it was a goodly sum was realized. ; It being a perfect moonlight night the scene was unusually attractive. The entertainment consisted of wrestling, fencing, jujutsu, shakulachi music and a pantomime. a celebrated Prof. Torajiro Takahashi, swordsman and master of jujutsu together with bis pupils and friends furnished the larger part of the program and treated the audience to rare feats of skill. < >wing to the increasing popularity of jujutsu in America it is not improbable that a class in this form of physical exercise will be organized among the athletic white people of town during the fall. Prof. Takahashi who was formerly official instructor of the art in Fukushima prefecture is a real acquisition to the exercise-loving quota of our population. His generosity in volunteering his services to make the entertainment a success is warmly appreciated by all the friends of the new clubhouse. It is good news to know that he will be connected with the institution as instructor in both jujutsu and fencing. Meantime so great is the interest among the Japanese of this city in the clubhouse that subscriptions are being made to add to its completeness. It is felt that such an institution will aid mightily in offsetting the saloons, gambling dens and other vile resorts which tempt so many into habits of debauchery. There will be nothing narrow or sectarian about this club. It will be open to all Japanese on the payment of a small monthly fee. In its assembly, reading, recreation, bathing and athletic departments it will furnish under clean, healthy, cheerful, moral conditions exactly what young men crave in their off work hours. It is a pleasure to record the fact that among the most earnest backers of the movement arc found such gentlemen of culture and influence as Messrs. Okuzo Sbioda, manager of the Keihin Hank, Chuzaburo Shiozawa, editor of Hawaii Shimpo, Hideo Sakunia, editor of the Yamato Shimbun, Takie Okumura, pastor of the Makiki Congregational Church, President Otohiko Ota of the Japanese 9 Temperance Society, Treasurer Susuke PRAYER FOR RAIN.

In the vain hope of recovery, he tried the trip to San Francisco where he died Aug. (), 18S6. Since his death, Mrs. Panning and her oldest son P..

Mrs. Clara Panning had been in delicate health for main years, but no one anticipated the grave nature of her disease, which was proved by autopsy to he cancer of the stomach. Relatives here on receipt of the news, cabled back to have tin' body embalmed and they waited the arrival of P.. R.

The mourning son laid on the casket a sheaf of the German corn flowers in memory of his father.

Artemas Bishop who diecf in 1872, left two children born in Kona, Hawaii, in 1825 and 1827. The elder, Jane Elizabeth, has now joined the majority at the age of 79, born April 6, 1825, and deceased July 18, 1904. Her death from old age and heart failure, was a gentle and peaceful one, after a few weeks of prostration, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Arthur C. Alexander, in Manoa Valley. Mrs. Hillebrand spent thirteen years of early life in America, graduating at Steubenville Female Seminary and returning home in 1850. In 1859 she married Mr. Hermann 1 lillebrand a German gentleman of Honolulu who died ten years later. With her two daughters she revisited the States before [890, remaining many years in New York City, but happily returning to her native land about fourteen months ago with her daughter Helen, now the esteemed librarian of the Honolulu Library. A very happy year was passed with her two daughters and her four young grandchildren, her brother Dr. S. E. Bishop also residing near by. To these dear kindred it has been a source of deep satisfaction that her last days were so pleasantly spent with them. Mrs. Hillebrand was of bright intellect, but of somewhat quiet nature. She had high and firm principle, but the greatest kindliness of disposition, and was beloved as a helper to many needy ones. She passed the veil with a calm and undisturbed faith. Many old friends and neighbors have manifested their affectionate sorrow. A circle of Bishop cousins near Oswego, N. Y. had become strongly attached to her and will join in this sorrow.

Recently I asked Mr. Kennedy, the son of Mr. C. C. Kennedy, who is acting manager of Waiakea during his father's absence, to give a permission to us to preach to Japanese in his camps every Sunday, and he gave it gladly. Then Mr. Boscow, accompanying two or three Japanese boys in the Hilo Boarding school, is preaching there after Sunday School in our church every Sunday afternoon. Sometimes I can go with them. Usually we omitted the Sunday School at Summer time, because the teachers would be gone far away, but at this Summer we do not omit it, because Mr. and Mrs. Boscow are teaching the school. They are teaching us to sing hymn correctly on every Sunday night too. At all they are great help for our churchWe are thankful very much to them. Mr. Westcrvclt gave a lecture on Japan with a magic lantern on the evening of 7th mat. at Haiti church, and it was very nice. On the 10th evening we had a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese in the Chinese church, and Mr. Wcstervelt gave a nice explanation on the pictures of the life of Christ with magic lantern. Again, Mr. Wcstervelt gave a lecture on China and Japan with magic lantern in the Chinese church, but I could not attend there, because I had the night school. One time Mr. Wcstervelt spoke to us about the Christian Endeavor Society at our church, and it was very profit to us. On the next Sunday we organized the society in our church. A HABIT OF LIHUE'S.

The Central Union Christian Endeavor Society is planning to have a course of study on Christian Endeavor methods, giving one evening every month to it and beginning in September. Dr. F. E. Clark, founder of the Christian Endeavor societies, has begun a correspondence school for Christian Endeavors. One of the members of our Central Union society pursues this course by correspondenc, passing examinations which are corrected in Boston, and also takes a course of instruction from Amos R. Wells, editor of the Christian Endeavor World. She is now going to pass on the education she has gained by conducting study classes. A number of the society have bought the text books and once a month the meeting of the society will be given up to the Study of this work planned by Dr. Clark and Mr. Wells. A new plan of the Central Union Society which has already been entered on that the president Mr. Dickey and the I isvice-president Mr. Spencer Bowen have divided between them the entire society and startcil a contest in which every member present scores one for the side he is on, with an extra point if he is on time and another point for taking part in meeting. The score of the two sides is displayed prominently in the hall of the church and thus far the vice-president is ahead. About ten years ago Carlton H. Jenks, a sailor on the man-of-war Charleston, dropped in upon the Central Union Christian Endeavor Society and some one who sat near him asked him if he was a Christian and if he would take part in the meeting. He did take part and said that while he had been a Christian Endeavorer at home he had not acted as a Christian on board the ship but would make a new start. While his vessel was in port he brought many sailors into the society and started a Christian Endeavor Society on board the Charleston. The members of this society have been transferred from time to time to different ships and have had a very great influence among the sailors of the American Navy, organizing many Christian Endeavor societies. In Nagasaki, Japan, a Christian Endeavor Seamen's Home was started, —the one clean, decent place for a sailor to stay in all that city,— through the influence of these seamen and the societies in which they were interested. Carlton 11. Jenks was on the Maine and lost his life when that vessel blew uj) in I lavana harbor. The Nagasaki Home is left as a memorial to him, one room being fitted up especially in memory of him by the Christian Endeavor Societies, the Central Union Society joining. The I limit' has been self supporting until now when the Japanese and Russian war has made all nations withdraw their ships from Nagasaki harbor which is a great rendezvous. Until the war ends tlie Home will have a hard time keeping open and cannot do without outside aid. Central Union Society took up a collection last Sunday evening and raised $25 for the help of the Home. The society feels that it is indirectly the starter of the Home, although it has never been found out who it was that spoke to Carlton If. Jenks 011 that evening in Honolulu. Special enquiry has been made to find out, at the request of Mr. Jenks' mother and sister who would like to know the name. There has been a movement lately among the members of Congress looking toward an advance of the World's Peace beyond the step taken in the establishment of the Hague Peace Tribunal. This is no less than the organization of the �THE FRIEND World's Peace Congress. The Massachusetts Legislature has petitioned the National Senate and House of Representatives to take action on behalf of the country and summon delegates to such a Congress.

BUT— - THE DEBT MUST BE RAISED RIGHT HERE IN HAWAII. T. R. No. 9 and its insufficiency is being more clearly demonstrated every month. If we could push forward our plans and occupy every point of vantage with evangelists and school teachers the results would be astonishing. Christian leaders in Japan appreciate this and are in the warmest sympathy with our endeavors here. They know that from the better class of emigrants now going to Hawaii and the States, Japan may hope to secure many devoted evangelists and pastors after they have been led into the Christian faith. We arc not living unto ourselves as we push our Chinese and Japanese work but are bound to start influences which shall permeate all Asia. We bespeak especial attention for the article entitled "A Clarion Call." We commend it to the thoughtful perusal of every friend of Christian work and every fighter for better things in this Territory. We are in the sacred presence of a great opportunity and every high consideration calls upon us to make a sacrifice to sieze this opportunity before it passes. Anyone who knows conditions in these Islands is aware that the Christian Church must be wider awake than ever if she is to cope with the enemy that menace moral and spiritual interests. The recent celebration of Polynesian day by Mormons in Salt Lake City speaks volumes. The widely-scattered liquor shops in country sections of these Islands add their testimony. Mormons and rumsellers know how to JO for their victims personally. They never conduct a wholesale campaign but strictly attend to the retail methods which Jesus Himself commended to His church. The Hawaiian Board is fully alive to the exigency. But unless it is backed by necessary resources it cannot do the work demanded. In this connection we ask all to study the pamphlet entitled "And it Was Good." The wide extent of the Board's enterterprise must occasion surprise to those unacquainted therewith. We have the machinery to combat the agencies of evil. Only the means to run that machinery fully is wanting. Farewell is evidently a very widespread every department. We bid the OkuMay their labors on month Rev. and and their talented <laughter will leave Honolulu for San Francisco, their future field. These earnest laborers came to Hawaii two years ago and shortly after reaching this city Mr. Okubo accepted the pastorate of the N'uuanu Street Japanese Church which then assumed self-support. It was no easy task which the new pastor faced but he essayed it with a courage and enthusiasm which have never Magged.

The I lawaii Shimpo in a recent leading article says: "Reference has been made a number of times in these columns to the general failure of Christian Missionaries to make a dee]) impression on Japanese and to the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as dwelling U]x)ii this charge of hypocrisy on the part of the Christian Japanese both at home and in Hawaii it advances two socalled reasons for "the failure." First, Japanese patriotism will tolerate no God except the Emperor. Second, the Missionary is regarded as the advance agent of land grabbing Powers. No one of these statements is original or new. They are the stock objections popular ten years or more ago in Japan but utterly worn converts to Christianity." After there today. It is strange that they should be offered by a Japanese of intelligence at this late date. Take up the first assertion, "the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as converts to Christianity." The author of this article knows (or should know) that there are today no fewer than loK.cxm communicants in the Christian Churches of Japan, He is fouling his own national nest by proclaiming the majority or even a respectable minority of these to be insincere. 1 fe knows that the 42,<;(x> Protestant communicants are drawn from the more intelligent classes of the community, having a very high percentage of educated men and women. He should know that of the 51,1 Protestant Churches in Japan 93 are wholly selfsupporting and 346 partly self-supporting, while these 42,<>00 Christians expended for their own Christian work last year yen. Rather princely giving for a set of hypocrites! He knows that such men as the late Hon. Kenkichi Kataoka, four times Speaker of the Imperial Diet, Hon. Soroku Ebara, nominated recently by the Emperor as one of three candidates for Speaker of the Diet, Hon. Taro Ando, Hawaii's great gift to Japanese Christianity, Hon. Tokiwo Yokoi, Ires. Shimomura of the Doshisha, and the Revs. Kozaki, Uemura, Ebina, Ibuka, Harada and Honda, Mr. Kanzo Cchimura and a hundred other Christian leaders who might be named are men of whom any nation on earth might be proud. The writer of the article in Hawaii Shimpo would not think of calling any large proportion of his Christian countrymen insincere in the presence of such a company. Of course there arc Judascs in every band of disciples and there are also Peters who fail in emergency but as a whole Japanese Christians are true, noble men. We do out �THE FRIEND think as hardly of Japan as the Shimpo. AYe believe the great majority of Japanese, like the great majority of any nation, mean well and are in the main sincere. When they become Christians they do this because they believe it to be the truth. Let us be chary of calling any large number of men hypocrites. The Emperor of Japan who has nominated Christians to the Imperial Diets as Speakers at least 6 out of 9 possible times and the Diets themselves which have elected them 5 out of 9 times have evidently entertained nobler sentiments on Ibis subject than the author of that Shimpo leader. So also do the military authorities who require that the interpreters furnished the foreign correspondents with the army must be Christians, because so many interpreters previously employed have proved dishonest and denot ceitful. As for the God versus Emperor idea, very little need be said. In the early days of the Meiji era it was hard for Japanese to reconcile their ideas of fealty to the material Emperor and loyalty to the Spiritual God. I hit that this troubles no thinking person in Japan today the writer of the article in question ought certainly to know. In the army and navy the very hotbed of patriotism Christian soldiers and sailors fight side by side with their non-Christian comrades. One of the brave heroes chosen to man the hulks sunk off Port Arthur was a Christian on whose body when recovered a copy of the Scriptures was found soaked with his life blood. ()f the two spies captured at Harbin, Capt. Jokoka, a Christian, won the admiration of his captors who ordered him shot. He left his money to the Russian Red Cross saying that he wished to show his obedience to the law' of his Master, "Love your eneniic.;." No wonder that Prime Minister Count Katsuia and Minister of War General Terauchi are taking earnest interest in affording the National Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations every fa cility for work on behalf of soldiers and sailors. In the face of these instances and many others such as the Emperor's recent decorating of Mr. Ishii, the head of the ()kayama Orphan Asylum, one of the most widely known Christians in the Empire, it i.-> futile to say that anywhere among intelligent Japanese a sentiment exists that Christianity antagonizes patriotism. In view of Japan's emergence upon the scene of world politics as one of the Great Powers, the old-time scare crow of 20 years ago that missionaries were the advance guard of foreign conquering armies has lost all its power to frighten. It is no compliment to the intelligence of Japanese, their courage or their con- sciousncss of power to claim that they are from faith in Jesus by any such childish notions as these. The Japanese are a highly intellectual people. The truth taught by Jesus has already won its way largely to their hearts. Witness in proof of this the Red Cross Society with its million of members. The reasons why more of them are not found in the Churches are various. The chief one is that the number of workers is so small that the vast bulk of the population has not yet been faced with the personal appeal. The reasons which keep those who have come under the direct teaching of Christianity from identifying themselves with the Churches are in the main similar to those which prevent intelligent persons in America from so doing. Japanese are, like the rest of us, human, and are moved by similar considerations. In fine the Christian movement of the past 50 years in Japan constitutes one of the most brilliant successes in the history of Christianity. To denominate it a failure argues either ignorance, inability to recognize the mighty influence of the teaching of Jesus Upon the daily life and thought of the great Empire, determined shutting of the eyes to the evident facts or conscious misstatement. to be scared away 5 his early in that man-making environment. As a boy he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for some years as a means to earn the wherewithal of a higher education. In pursuit of his trade he found himself ere long in the United States where he has spent a large part of his life. Going to Missouri he entered Park College from which he graduated in arts in 1901. He followed this with a full course in Auburn Seminary, NewYork, where he met his future fellowlaborer, Mr. Henry P. Judd of Honolulu. On leaving Auburn he accepted the call to Kohala which will be his first regular pastorate, though he has done not a little preaching from place Ontario, Canada, passing years to place. Mr. Buchanan comes of a family remarkable for the sturdy health of its members. His maternal grandmother still hale and hearty, boasts 10 children, 80 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren, a family circle not yet entered by death. Since the birth of her first child not one of her descendants has lost life, and all today are in robust health. It would certainly be hard to match such a record. Mr. Buchanan has traveled very widely in Canada and the United States. He has seen many sides of life and in addition to the fine training of a carpenter's trade is an expert photographer, having had more than a year's practical experience in this art. He comes to the Islands well fitted for the kind of work demanded of our Christian leaders. Ile is unmarried. We congratulate Kohala on acquiring such a strong pastor and wish both him and his Church steadily increasing prosperity. A CLARION CALL. It comes from one of the leading members of the Hawaiian Board. Rev. Robert A. Buchanan A splendid specimen of stalwart Christian young manhood answered the question "Are you Mr. Buchanan?" with the words "I'm the man," as we searched the Mongolia for the new Pastor of Kohala Union Church. He stayed in Honolulu only a few days en route to his new field but in that short time he won all who met him and gave promise of fine work. Mr. Buchanan was born in Hensall, Every lover of good in the Territory should hear it. It is put in the form of an offer. In substance it is: "land mine will in addition to our usual subscriptions to the Hawaiian Board pay $1000 towards liquidating its deb*, if before the I St of November the remaining $7500 be subscribed by others, their gifts to be additional to their usual donations to its treasury." Those who know the Board realize that it has entered upon a new era of enlargement. It never was doing so much. It is accomplishing this upon a far less expenditure of money. Its business management is remarkably economical. The results of its wide enterprise are definite and inspiring. Plantations are calling for its evangel- �6 ists where once they were inclined to them down. It. employs only men who are above suspicion. But it is hampered with a grievous debt, in round numbers $8500. If this cannot be paid it must cut off 25 per cent, of its work. Will not everyone, who reads this call, respond? It is the Board's policy not to go into debt again. Its approproiatians for the coming year have been made most conservatively. It will live inside its regular income. If you give now to lift the debt you may be reasonably certain that you will not be asked to repeat the extra donation. Again the Board has voted to send a deputation to the mainland societies t<> secure from them aid in pushing the work in Hawaii. If our constituency will arise and pay this debt our deputation will have in that action the strongest possible plea for a co-operative effort. Men love to help those who help themselves. We need mainland co-operation to enable us to occupy the. ground here as we ought. Correspondence has already brought one society into this field to push the work in the English language. Another society is hesitating. We desire a persuasive argument. Pay the debt and upon the wave of that enthusiasm we confidently hope to float another great concern into active participation in the enterprise of planting the cross in every home on these Islands. A great educational opportunity confronts us. We are rarely situated for training Christian leaders for the Far East. Already we are sending young men Christianized here to their home lands for the education we could give them. We have the foundation for a great mid-Pacific institution of learning. A friend and member of the Board is on the Pacific Coast ready to seek the endowment needed to inaugurate the enterprise. But large givers shun an organization in debt. If we rally about the Board and pay off its incurred obligations (obligations through no fault of its management but due entirely to the era of business depression), we can go before the American public with this plea for a great Christian institution that shall gather into co-operation with itself all the many and varied schools connected with our Board. Never in all the history of the Islands have so many features of promise combined to present a unique opportunity. The Japan-Russian war, the Isthmian canal project, the marvelous expansion of population on the Coast, our across-the-sea posons, all argue a mighty incoming of mixed humanity for the Hawaii turn Biic THE FRIEND of the immediate future. We must this with stalwart Christian institutions and with an active enthusiastic Christian propaganda. The Board's constituency holds the key to the situation. Backed by the great Union denominations of the United States and Canada, beckoned onward by the allied Churches of Japan, we have a splendid co-operative army. We cannot go backward. We must advance. But the debt, the debt! like a heavy iron chain it clogs our footsteps. Will you not help lift it? Small or great send your response to this clarion call to our Treasurer. D. S. meet "EVOLUTION OF JAPANESE CHARACTERISTICS." By Sidney L. Gulick, D. D. Having lately read this book, we feel inclined to comment upon some of the impressions received from it. Dr. Gulick has certainly shown a high degree of ability in noting and classifying with such care and thoroughness the varied characteristics of that very remarkable and capable people. The reader feels sensible of a vast increase of definite and classified information about their peculiarities, and about the history of the varying influences and events which have tended to generate those peculiarities. ( )ne feels compelled to rank the Japanese people very high in the scale of humanity both in mental capacity and in moral force, notwithstanding the various moral defects and obliquities of which they have some share as well as other races of mankind. After so searching and minute an analysis of the national characteristics as Dr. Gulick has made, it is doubtless not strange that he has awakened some resentment among that people, since no one can see a faithful portrait drawn of his own features, or an accurate study made of his own character, and feel that it is just or accurate. Nothing is more sure to give offense than to describe your neighbor's character with accuracy. And yet Dr. Gulick has drawn a portrait of a nation, able, high-spirited, and earnest for good. Constantly prominent in this elaborate book is Dr. Oulick's own theory of national characteristics, which is that they are, at least in the Japanese people, not inbred "in the blood," or in the nervous system, so as to have been transmitted by Heredity. They are entirely the effect of their social conditions and habits of life and thought. In modern scientific language the origin of these traits is wholly Sociological, and not Biological. As applied to the Japanese he illustrates his theory by saying, that if a Japanese infant were at its birth to be removed to Anglo-Saxon conditions, and reared exclusively among them, he would in mature life be wholly Anglo-Saxon in character and would exhibit no peculiar Japanese traits, which are wholly developed by the social conditions in which the Japanese people are reared. The author applies his theory constantly and at length, describing the social conditions which tend to generate and fix into habits this and the other peculiarity. While impressed with the probable truth of many of these explanations, one feels that they fail to account for all the facts. One may say with certainty, for instance, that such explanation does not account for the prevailing complexion of the Japanese skin, nor for their average stature. Nor probably does it account for their prevailing cheerfulness of manner, as contrasted with the rather sullen Chinese, although Sociological causes do account for their peculiar formalities in bowin? and address, which probably are not physically inbred. We think it beyond a doubt that the various races of mankind each have their inherited peculiarities, which are incradically embedded in their bodily and nervous constitutions. All admit this to be true of the various breeds of each species of domesticated animals, suck as dogs, sheep, horses and kine. No shepherd would attempt to breed a sheep-dog from other than well-bred collie parents. No dairyman would hope to breed choice milkers from Mexican cattle, or other than high-bred milking stock like Holsteins or Jerseys. In like manner, while all men resemble each other more than they differ, being all from one original stock, there is still a great hereditary diversity in the different races of mankind. This is peculiarly prominent in those races which from remote ages have dwelt apart without contact with other human races, such as the Eskimos and the Bushmen. No one can question their hereditary peculiarities, mental as well as physical. Even in races whicn have long commingled, the racial peculiarities are conspicuous, both in feature and in disposition, as in the Teutonic and the Keltic inhabitants of the British Islands, speaking the same language, but showing marked racial diversities of disposition. It is "in the blood," in the breed. The insular position of Japan, in the vicinity of the teeming populations of Asia, as well as in the line of marine immigration from Malaysia, has given that country a population, which, like that of the British Islands, is of several very diverse origins. There is certainly a large substratum of Mongoloid blood from the �7 THE FRIEND continent. Equally certain is a great admixture of Malayo-Polynesian blood, derived from the enterprising navigating race of Oceanica, who anciently drifted Up through the Philippines and Formosa and the Loochoos. Both these large elements are marked in the Japanese features. And there are other very peculiar elements of feature difficult to assign to any known origin, such as frequent absence of nose-bridge between the eves. One earnestly wishes that Dr. Gulick had been less tied to a theory, and so left open to trace some of the Mongoloid heredities of character, and some of the Malaysian. Of the latter, one cannot help feeling confident, is the peculiar Japanese receptiveness for what is new, which also characterizes the Polynesian, and differentiates both from the extremely conservative Chinese. The present writer is able to present a very marked case of inherited Chinese proclivity in the case of a youth under his instruction about thirty years ago at Lahainaluna Seminary. He was the illegitimate son of a Hawaiian mother, by an unknown Chinese father, brought up exclusively among 1 lawaiians, with knowledge of none but his mother He was fine-looking, with tongue. marked Chinese features, and exceptionally bright in his studies. Knowing the superior qualities of such Inns as domestic servants, we soon employed him in housework, a position eagerly sought by our students. This half-Chinese boy speedily became adept in household work, to a degree never reached by pure natives however bright. He had the curious Chinese trait of invariably doing the same thing in the same wav without deviating from instructions. Here are two instances of this peculiarity, shown in setting rooms to rights. ()n my study table stood a small kerosene lamp, with a paper shade s!ip]X'd over the chimney. It was this boy's daily duty to clean and fill this lamp, and replace it on the table with the paper shade on the chimney. In course of time I got a metallic shade, and put the paper one on a shelf near by. But every morning when the boy replaced the lamp, he took the paper shade from the shelf and slipped it on the chimney, instead of the metallic shade he had found on it. After some weeks my curiosity to test his propensity was satisfied, and after once directing him to put on the metal shade, it was done. This was a most marked instance of Chinese heredity, always to repeat an act in the same way. The second instance related to a chair which I occupied in the evening by the parlor table. a cane seat rocker, another hairrocker standing by a window. In Kas course of time I sent the qane seat chair Honolulu for repair, and moved the hair cloth one to the table. But every morning my faithful boy replaced that chair at its old place by the window, whence every evening I moved it back to the table. Chinese-like, all reasoning was in abeyance, and mechanical repetition ruled the course of action. As before, curiosity let this continue for several weeks, until I gave the necessary order. All persons familiar with Chinese servants will recognize this national peculiarity, transmitted by heredity to this Hawaiian born and reared youth. And those familiar with Polynesian servants know how contrary it is to Polynesian tendencies to repeat any act in the same precise manner, ami how much and patient drilling it requires to make them continue to do anything exactly as they are taught. The Chinaman has acquired that habit and made it hereditary by means of rigid civilizing processes through more than five thousand years. He has become a specially civilized S. E. P..

EARLY A writer in an Eastern journal recently sought to identify John Jacob Astor with the discovery and controlling interest for years of the sandalwood trade of these Islands. The romancer states that Astor's first trading voyage to China was undertaken in partnership with a New York merchant who furnished the vessel and cargo; that upon its return, $55,000 in silver in barrels was delivered at Astor's cellarway as his share of the profits. With this cash capital he is represented as having bought and fitted out a ship on his own account and started her for China, and this is what happened "On her way out she was delayed by storms and had to stop at the Sandwich Islands to take in water and provisions; and at the same time she took on lx>ard a large stock of firewood. When she arrived at Canton a mandarin came aboard and noticing this firewood, asked its price. The captain, thinking it about the same value as cordwood, told him to make a bid. The mandarin bid $500 a and for seventeen years ton of the twenty-seven during which the ships of John Jacol)—always doubling in numbers —continued in the China trade, they managed to keep the secret of the source of that sandalwood. It was only when a downcast Yankee hired a clipper and dodged back and forth after the Astor craft for a year or more that he found John Jacob out. Nor did that Yankee shout his discovery to all the : * * * world, either, but for many years more kept quiet and shared in the profits." The world is too well read in these days not to discover at once several absurdities in the above narrative which arouse natural suspicions, and investigation for facts in the case reveal few threads beyond fancy in the whole story. It is somewhat of a coincidence that research upon this subject — which brought these islands so prominently before the commercial world—should be in progress at the time the above romance appeared. Some results of the investigation may be of interest to readers of The Friend. While the history of the sandalwood trade of these islands in its early development may be vague and s]>eculative. there are, fortunately, sufficient particulars of record to define the time of its discovery and the party accredited therewith, which occurred eighteen years before Astor'i pioneer ship left New York. by which time it is fair to presume the sandalwood trade was in full activity. In Astor's reply, January 4, 1823, to Hon. John Ouincy Adams' enquiry for particulars of his Pacific coast ventures, lie mentions the several vessels he, and the Pacific Fur Company in which he was interested, sent out that touched, or was lost, here, but no claim is set forth of participating in trade between here and China, nor any reference to sandalwood whatever. The first vessel that Mr. Astor sent out was the Enterprise, under command of Captain Ebbets, which left New York in 1809. The year following the Pacific Fur Company formed, with John Jacob Astor at its head, and owner of half of its stock. This company sent out the Tonquin, Jona. Thome, master, which sailed from New York, September, 1810, and was followed in October, 1811, by the Heaver, Captain Sovvles. These two latter vessels touched at these islands on their voyage out to Astoria, and took a number of natives as sailors and laborers. The next vessel was the Lark, which left New York, March, 1813, and arrived off the islands and was wrecked the following ()ctober. After the retirement of the Pacific Fur Company from Astoria and their out stations in favor of the rival Northwest Company, through the war of 1812, at very much less than its value, the Enterprise and her captain appear to figure frequently in the annals of island trade with China. Captain Ebbets eventually resided here for a time and the impression prevails that he was Astor's agent, in which capacity he was a collector of sandalwood in settlement of claims, as wer; a number of others at the same time, so instead of Astor having the secret and �8 THE FRIEND. exclusive enjoyment of a trade affording immense profit, his agent was scrambling with a number of competitors for a share of his dues from the periodical supplies of wood that came to market. A full account of the early sandalwood trade as shown by the various traders, voyagers, and others is under revision for publication in the near future, and it is believed it will prove a valuable paper for T.

Take it, O VACATION NOTES IN ALASKA. Nome, Alaska, July 22nd, 1904. One of the most enjoyable experiences of this summer vacation has been a trip to Alaska. Here in this busy town of Nome, with a population of from 5,000 to 10,000, within 200 miles of the Arctic circle, one's idea of Northern Alaska is entirely changed. In place of ice and snow, bright sunshine and warm weather now prevail. Men are at work in their shirt sleeves, and wild flowers are growing in the grass. Although Nome is but four years old, she can boast good hotels, electric lights, telephones and a railroad. On all sides men arc busy digging and washing out the yellow gold from the sand and the hills. Several millions of dollars have been sent out already this season. After a journey of over 3,000 miles along only a part of the coast of Alaska, one begins to realize the great extent of this territory. With a size three times as large as California, or twice as large as Texas, it has a coast line greater than that of all the rest of the United States. The trip along the coast on the good old treasure ship "Roanoke," has given a panorama of delightful scenery, grand beyond description. Through the inland sea, with its thousand islands, covered with dense forests of evergreen, aflid here and there waterfalls dropping from snowy mountain tops, hidden in the clouds, the way has been one of most magnificent enchantment. The many stops at the settlements and towns have been full of interest, whereone can study the curious people, the Indians, their odd-looking native homes, their totem poles, their basket making. Metlakahtla is the place where the missionary, William Duncan, for over 20 years, had his model settlement of Christian Taimsions. Here they built their neat cottages, a church, schoolhouse, saw mill, cannery and store; and with their own trading boat, fire brigade, brass band, and local government by the elders of the village, they formed a real Utopia. Every one kept busy in the various industries of weaving, carpentering, rope making, shoemaking, cabinet making and fishing. It was a most wonderful change, in a fewyears, from these almost savage Indians, to a peaceful colony of industrious workers. Quite a large number of Japanese are employed near here in the fisheries of the Skeena river. Their features and many of their customs resemble those of the Indians, and some of their tools are just the same. Across from Me.tlakahtla, on Queen Charlotte Island, are the Hoida Indians, said to be the best type of the Indian races. They are now fast decreasing in numbers. Their images and relics are similar to those found in Guatemalan ruins. They also strongly resemble the Japanese and have a tradition that their origin was from over the ocean. Some Japanese words are found in their language. The Japan or Gulf Stream of the Pacific touches these shores and might have easily stranded junks here. At Fort Wrangell, the second settlement in Southeastern Alaska, opportunity was given to see many of the Ttingit Indians. The word Tling;t means "man," or "people," and this race is the most numerous among the Indians of Alaska. They have, as do nearly all the other tribes, traditions of a flood or deluge, which may have come from their ancestors being landed on these shores from trans-Pacific junks carried over by the strong Gulf Stream. At the time of that "flood" one of the ancestors, it is said, took a bear into his canoe and thus saved him from drowning. From an alliance with this bear, it is said, came the Tlingit race. One of the totems, still to be seen at Wrangell, shows the bear footprints on the tree, and the bear on top trying to escape the waters. The family history pictured by these totempoles, often give the bear as one of their ancestors. Many of their beliefs and superstitions seem to be Asiatic. These many totem-poles somewhat resemble the tiki of New Zealand and the images of other races of the South Sea islands. They have methods of work, and tools, and other customs, like the Japanese; and many Aino words are also found in their language. Mr. Walcott has noted that they have "the Japanese idioms, constructions, honorific, separative and agglutinative particles." Like the Asiatics they have difficulty with / and r. Their language sounds like that of a Welshman with a cold, perhaps because they have lived for generations, among these islands oi fog and rain. Mr. Stoddard calls this speech "a confusion of gutturals with a plcntitude of saliva—a moist language with a gurgle, that approaches a gargle." The visit to Juneau and Douglass island was full of interest. Here at Treadwell is the largest quartz-mill in the world,—more gold has been taken out of it than the price paid for the whole of Alaska. Leaving Juneau and the delightful Inland Sea, the journey was through Icy Strait and past Glacier Bay. Icebergs and miles of glaciers were �THE FRIEND. passed. It was a new sensation to walk over one of these frozen rivers with 300 feet of blue ice under foot, moving perhaps a few inches a day. The well built "Arctic Railroad," at Seward, was visited. This line aims to connect the coast with the Yukon river, but does not reach the North Pole yet. It was a treat to see the beauties of Dutch harbor and the Aleutian Islands. ( >n I'liiinak, one of these islands, rises the beautiful snowy peak of Ml. Bogoslof, so nearly like Fujiyama, that it seemed as if we must be off the coast of Japan. It was a new experience to see the Esquimaux in their furs, and to visit their curious homes. A few Chinese were met with at nearly all the places. 'I be whole trip was most interesting, delightful and one long to be remembered. E. W. THWING.

THE KINGDOM IN JAPAN. of the noteworthy achievements of the year from the standpoint of worldwide humanity is the publication in Yokohama of a pampnlet of 245 pages entitled "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." To the thorough student of the trend of modern life it is clearthat religiously speaking the twentieth century is likely to go down to succeeding generations as the "Century of Unity. Church history is making fast in this direction and Japan is destined to wield no little influence here; for a pamphlet like the one just named would probably be impossible in It tells the story any other land. of a composite Christian movement in which nineteen Protestant Missions of as many different denominations co-operate, records the use by all Protestants in Japan of a condensed hymnary of 125 common hymns and tunes and by all except Episcopalians of one hymn book (the sales of which during the part of the year it has been on the market have reached a total of more than 50,000 copies) gathers together and presents statistics of all Christian organizations and completes its triumph by the incorporation of written reports from Greek and Roman Catholic Churches as well as from all Protestant Missions. Verily Japan is the wizard among the nations. This pamphlet, the price of which is but ten cents, reads like a novel. The ()ne 9 first half is of especial interest, because it deals with the larger movements of the Kingdom. The latter part is devoted to reports, all of them of permanent value though not as entertaining to the general reader. Prom this admirable brochure we gain some idea of the difficulty of Japan's problem in the statement that the density of her population is 236 to the square mile, or outside of the Northern Island ( Hokkaido) 376, and in parts of Central Japan 461 to the square mile, as against in the United States. No wonder the Churches of the Empire are fully awake to the urgency of the social question. The chairman's address before the Co-oj>crating Missions on "Christianizinga Changing Civilization" was largely a plea for concentration of Christian thought and effort upon forms of social service. All through the Empire the Churches are battling with the social conditions presented. Orphanages, homes for factory girls, students' lodging houses, temperance reform, the new charity, are matters of vital concern everywhere. The opening discussions upon "International Affairs," "Domestic Politics," "Sociological Notes" and "The Business World" —the contribution of that Nestor among Missionaries in Japan, Rev. D. C. Greene, D. D., of Tokio are worthy of a member of the family which in the last generation counted such leaders as William M. Everts and George F, Here we learn how the Hoar. great common people arc forging ahead and disputing with the old-time Knights and literati the chief places in the army, navy and civic life. Japan is fast ceasing to be a nation with privileged classes. The deep hold of Christianity is evidenced again and again, su]>crficially by nothing more striking than by the statement that of the 9 Diets of the Empire 5 have been presided over by devoted Christians. Dr. Greene's discussion of the inquiry "Is Japan's New Civilization Superficial?" is very suggestive. We agree with him but the subject is too wide for full treatment. It opens the question handled elsi where in our issue by Dr. Bishop in his contention with Dr. Sidney Gulick. We believe Dr. Bishop to be right. There is no inherent reason for disbelieving that if races of men present biological differences in physical appearance, they also do so in brain construction. The social environment of an individual largely conditions his development. But in the case of a race of men the social whole is due somewhat to racial peculiarities. The feudalism of Japan differed vastly from that of England or from that of Europe. For this there were many causes. One set of causes, however, was 21 — �THE FRIEND 10 . trait or an aptitude into a power, but that they exist is made clear by such cases as are cited by Dr. Bishop, numbers of which could be multiplied by wide observation. The question involves ultimately that of the origin of the varieties of social environment. Why had the Japanese of olden days his peculiar social system? Did the system make the man or the man the system ? The only valid answer is that both are true. The old-time Japanese social system drew its peculiarities from the gradually developing peculiarities of the Japanese race, and it in turn intensified these. This complex action and interaction registered itself to such a degree in the adult brain that the offspring inherited a brain to an extent modified thereby. This seems the true explanation. The Japanese may be as acute in his mental processes as any member of another race but these processes will have a color if we may use the expression all his own. When the attempt is made to exaggerate this evident scientific deduction into the thesis which Dr. Gulick so ardently condemns that the Japanese as a result of his long inherited past posses acer- New _Tapering Arm p [|!k!

Dr. Greene rightly concludes his interesting review of this question by summing it all up with the words: "Its (i.e., the newcivilization's) home is in the very hearts of the people." Space forbids further discussion of the many topics delightfully suggested in this interesting pamphlet. A local Japanese sheet has recently tried to tell residents of Hawaii why Christianity has failed in Japan. To all influenced by its argument we commend this book.

It is as soft and sweet as the voice of a woman ; as full, loud, clear and strong as that of a man. The Victor renders high instrumental music solo, band and orchestra —so as to make the listener hold his breath. GOLD MEDAL The Victor won the Gold Medal over all other talking machines at Buffalo. It was awarded by e'ght distinguished judges-confirmed by three more confirmed again by a final one -a unanimous verdict of superiority by ' distingui»hed men.

That these are not in some way registered in brain structure it seems hard to believe. This is not to say that they may not be modified or even largely negatived or rendered abortive by careful training. Many a man has doubtless inherited capacities for certain lines of effort, such as artistic expression, which have never been allowed development by the conditions of his training. We think Dr. Gulick has conclusively shown that the Japanese belong in no separate category of the animal kingdom from the rest of mankind, but we find no proof of his thesis that the qualities which the Japanese possess, the peculiar tone of mi.id or way of looking at things, are not registered in the structure of his brain and as such passed on from generation to generation. Such modifications may be very slight. They undoubtedly require the influence of environment to cause their progressive change from their condition in infancy to that in adult age, corresponding somewhat to the growth of a tendency into a HONOLULU, H. I. �THE FRIEND tution in 1900 there has been a reduction of 13,734 in the number of unfortunate women, that during the great Osaka Exposition no less than one in sixteen of those who attended that show also found their way into the Gospel Hall opposite the entrance, that during last year the gains in church membership increased 9 per cent, and that all over the Empire today there never was such deep interest in Christian enterprises and in Christian truth. The fact of the case is Christianity never won so decided a victory in any land or in any age as it has in the Empire of the Rising Sun during the last half century. We commend to our esteemed friend, the editor of Hawaii Shimpo, the careful reading of the Second Issue of "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." D. S. CANDIDATES AND THE SALOON. 'You can't legislate men into morality !" How this egregrious folly refuses to die. As though any one ever did attempt any such thing. As has been replied (to the limit of weariness) we do not make laws against stealing to make men honest but to protect us from thieves. So all good men should try to have their vote tell on the liquor question not to stop men from drinking but to protect us from the saloon—the paramount evil of our day. Here in Honolulu there is need of an awakening. There is already a growing sentiment that candidates are to be looked at keenly from this new point of view, viz., "Are you openly on the side of the saloon t not?" Some of us are ready to go this far for the present—all men notoriously connected with liquor interests will be "scratched" most vigorously. "Why?" Because they are not to be trusted on affairs of public policy. The cloven hoof will show itself on any issue. Why should we need to repeat that the saloon is the enemy of good government? It is almost the truth to say that protective government largely exists because of the saloon. Look to it, you zealous party managers ! A BOUQUET. To make the desert bloom is no small thing. To do it three times is thrice blessed. That is the record of a Maui school teacher who might have left his school grounds the dreary waste they sometimes are. Instead they have fairly blossomed like the rose with none to see but the pupils and an occasional wayfarer. Where will you find a country 11 school with a yard like that of UlupalaSuch rows of carefully tended plants and enormous beds and lwrders of the more common flowers! "Hose and stand pipes ?" Not one. This little oasis kua ? meant the laborous carrying of water from the tanks in buckets and although the children did some, the teacher did much. Yes, it is quite a matter of individual genius—"the genius of hard work." But what if you transplant the teacher? Alack-a-day! Our faith does not compass the carrying on of such a place by his successor, it was rumored the Board of Education (with other reasons doubtless than the destruction of the I'lupalakua garden) were to send Mr. Snyder to Nahiku. The only comfort is that Nahiku gains unless Mr. Snyder grows weary of the constant interruption to his gardening. THERE ARE FACTS, BLESSED FACTS AND STATISTICS. Statistics help frequently. "To maintain a church in a country district is a good thing." That is the general and rather vague way of stating it. To read the inspired scriptures once a week and sing and pray with an aggregate of 2,190 people in the year, or 45 every week (average) is the same good thing, only expressed more particularly. That sort of concreteness is what statistics may lend us. Here are some facts about three places in Oahu, helped by the Oahu Aid Society—and in the form of statistics: Number of Waia- Kaneohe. nae. preaching services Average attendance 52 42 Average attendance at Sunday School 29 Week day meetings held. 39 on Average attendance 18 above Received into the church.

" ceded the deadly error of "doing evil that good may come," in theory, though we have all been Jesuits in practice—happy if we have learned the folly of it. How then ? Can one fight liquor saloon ( our clearest phasis of the devil) by liquor saloon ? Surely one must base such a preposterous hope on the common aphorism "Fight fire with fire," which has its place in conflagrations but is manifestly overdone wdicn translated "Fight firewater with firewater" or "Fight Hell with Hell." Well, what then is such a sincere man as Bishop Potter of New York trying to do? He and his associates are credited in a recent number of the Outlook with having plans to o]X'rate a saloon in the subways of New York City where liquor is to be sold (in moderate quantities and not to minors) and for what? He would throw the robe of the Church of Christ around the Devil to partly tame him, clip his claws, keep him in certain bounds —forgetting (he must be forgetting) that this same robe of respectability were the most potent of agencies Hell could have conceived to promote its deadly wiles.

It is cheering to this is. Why, it isn't half so plausible as our local Act to Mitigate was. But as to respectability, doesn't everybody know that your most dangerous saloon is not a dive ? Where a respectable young fellow can go with comparatively little risk to his reputation and drink moderately, is not this the place more dangerous to society than a reeking rum-hole? It is not the amount of noise or brawls that furnish the criterion as to which is worse. Here is the test: What kind of saloon starts the most drunkards?

We might say here that fighting the liquor saloon with saloon may be quite a different matter. If the latter is not a liquor saloon, you have a most effective enemy to liquor. This is fighting Fire with water—and other good agencies, is, in fact "Counteraction." We print some press comments: �THE FRIEND now and then to keep him in heart." Though we be far from the first to recognize the worth of this man, our friend, it needed more prominence than he would ever have assumed to have brought him much general recognition. To have been a pillar of strength for fifteen years in a great institution like Kamehameha, is a triumph. To have been willing to subordinate one's own personality and natural claims for the good of a school: take a second place where one has ruled—and do this twice and show no pique, rather the most loyal support —this is so rare a thing that we know hardly another who could have done it. Know then, that we highly honor you, Mr. Thompson. This superb thing in which the man Moses was pre-eminent is the veriest Kohinoor diamond for rarity. The God-man said concerning it: "The meek (how your present-day successful man scorns the term) shall inherit the earth." Who will gainsay him? for the earth is not yet apportioned, and the word of the T. R. coining King shall not fail.

Bingham gave a long and instructive missionary address in the First Congregational Church, which was fully reported in the Pacific in May, they proceeded on to Loston ami Cambridge to the home of Prof. Hiram Bingham, Jr.. of Harvard University. Later in the Advance, we read of the great Union Missionary Convention at Clifton Springs, X. V., where both Mr. Bingham and Mrs. Coan are mentioned as present and making addresses.

No. 10 Mr. Wadman comes to take especial oversight of Christian work under Methodist auspices among Japanese and Koreans. He is the right man for the place. Fifteen years ago in 1889, Mr. Wadman set foot in Japan as a missionary. Two years in Tokyo, two in Hirosaki getting the language into his soul, four more in Tokyo in literary work, five in Hakodate supervising a large district which demanded frequent tours of two months' duration, and the last one or two years in Yokohama are the outward details of his career in our neighboring Empire. Broad minded, brotherly, alert, full of aggressive fire, things will move under his hands. We are glad to have among us a man of such apostolic fervor and fraternal spirit. We reciprocate his brotherlincss and join hands with him in the warfare of the Cross. Mrs. Wadman with four children is now on the mainland, but will come to Honolulu ere long. Mr. Wadman has one daughter with him. This family will be a notable addition to the Christian C ampaign NThew forces in Hawaii nei.

There at the town of Nakajo he has done notable service and has proved himself the ablest Christian worker ever sent to that place. A year ago Mr. Higuchi meditated coming to Hawaii, but the townspeople rose in such vehement protest that he was forced to consent to remain for a season. Although every effort has since been made to keep him in Japan, he feels that he is called to this mission. Mrs. Higuchi is an accomplished Christian lady and like her hushanel, lias been trained for active service. Both of them understand English.

Vardaman tactics cannot evolve a ruling race nor can any line of action which emphasizes anything else than human brotherhood. It is, moreover, a pity to suggest race issues here in Hawaii. Our very safety, to say nothing of any higher consideration, lies in forgetting color lines and exaltmanhood wherever it be found, or this reason we glory in the ndid stand taken by The Adverr in behalf of the principle of independent voting. The Republican party in these Islands has stultified itself more than once by nominating unworthy men for office. It is the one party which has most to lose by catering to lower motives. How arc our Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese voters to be trained in citizenship except through a party which does not subordinate principle to policy? The Republican party simply cannot afford to nominate inferior men. Whenever this it deserves overwhelming feat. Every citizen who rebukes it by voting against its unworthy nominees is helping to teach these new, untrained voters what true Americanism means. Loyalty to party at all hazards is the worst lesson Hawaiians can learn. Loyalty to right will make them dependable citizens. They understand full well such motives as loyalty to race, loyalty to erraft, loyalty to selfinterest. They do not know what loyalty to the public weal signifies. The Republican party makes its appeal to them as the party able to teach them to subordinate self to the common good. It points with scorn to boodlers, prafters and men of that ilk. In order to make its scorn effective it must name for office the best men it has. Then it can claim to be a party representing principle in its nominations. The Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese and Portueuese can understand such teaching. They may not at first always vote for the best men when nominated, but they will in the end learn by experience the value of so doinp. The Friend therefore is glad to endorse The Advertiser in its plea to Republicans to rebuke party managers by rejecting at the polls every unworthy candidate. Only thus can the party be made to live up to its principles. X •does terested and has promised a building CHINESE CHURCH, HONOLULU. for a church. It is hoped that Rev.

Mr. da SUvas health was entirely restored while there. On his return to his church at Hilo, Mr. M. G. Santos proceeded to Maui, where he is now well settled in charge of the Paia work.

Mr. Frank Damon, in speaking of his arrival here in 1901, said: "We have been greatly cheered by the coining, a few months since, of a young Chinese assistant from the Presbyterian Mission in Canton, who is proving himself to be a man of more than average intellectual force and spirituality. He has been warmly welcomed by the Chinese of all classes and seems to be peculiarly fitted to labor among them. He speaks three Chinese dialects with ease and fluency. Though young in years he has had much experience and has witnessed "even to blood," under the blows of the persecutors' bamboo, to the sincerity of his belief in Christianity. We have reason to hope that he will do noble and lasting work here." �THE FRIEND This hope has been fully realized, for Mr. Wong by his kindly and earnest spirit, has won the hearts of all. He will be much missed in the work here, but it is to be hoped that he will have a large field for usefulness in California. KAMEHNOTES. The new school year has opened in a gratifying manner, not only from the standpoint of numbers, but also from the spirit with which the pupils have begun their work. The Manual Training and Preparatory Schools have as many boys enrolled as they can well accommodate, while the Girls' School has had to refuse admission to about fifty applimost cants. President Home has already won the respect, admiration and good will of the student body. His interest in everything which appeals to the schoolboy's heart, his desire to make school life pleasant as well as profitable, and his ability to look at things from the boys' point of view and sympathize with it, has endeared him to his students and has gained their loyal support. His influence over the personal life of the boys will be great and will show itself in the deepening of their characters. A thorough Christian, he is in sympathy with everything which tends to develop a strong, manly, Christian spirit in the boys of Kamehameha. The religious work of the school is somewhat hampered, at present, by the repairs being done to the Chapel. Sunday services are held in Bishop Hall and the joint Sunday School can not begin until the chapel can be used. It is hoped that the repairs will he finished early in October. The Christian Endeavor Society has begun its work with a membership of fifty. This is the only voluntary religious meeting which the boys have and it is hopeful as well as gratifying to have an average attendance of sixty. In all our meetings the C. E. motto, "For Christ and the Church," is emphasized, Christ gives us power and we give it to the church. The Hawaiian church needs lay members who can take an active part in its work. The statement has been made, and perhaps with some justification, that Kamehameha's influence upon the religious life of these Islands is not what it should be. It is the center of Hawaiian educational life, why should it not be the center of its religious life? If it dispels ignorance it should in the same degree dispel immorality and sin. Very few of the school's graduates are doing any real Christian work or have any inter- in the Church. Therearesome striking exceptions to this, hut they are few. Is this the fault of the school or the fault of the race? The Hawaiians as a whole, today, are not a church-going people, which may to some extent remove any extra blame from the training of the school. But let the fault be where it will, such a state of affairs should not exist. 1 believe it is possible to develop a Christian life here which will last beyond commencement day. The idea of responsibility for others, and the obligations of principle are not seated very deeply in the native heart, but they can and must be developed. A deep religious spirit must be first fostered but to it must ever be attached the idea of allegiance to Christ's church and service for others. The Sunday School, the Knights of Sir Galahad, the Young Women's Christian Union, the Christian Endeavor Society, are all doing good work, but they have not given the proper idea of service. They seem too local and lose their significance when the boys and girls return to their country homes. The religious life of a people centers in the organized church of which the societies named arc but parts. They lead to the church, but what church and where? I believe that the whole fault lies right here. Kamchamcha's religious work and life is not at fault, but it is not organized and united under a central organization. By that I mean that there should be a church organized on the campus to direct all the school's religious work and keep it in our native touch with the work of churches. The boys and girls are here when they are most susceptible to Christian influence and many of them are Christians in heart, but they are unattached individuals because there is no church to join. A church to mean anything must be a religious home and no city church can be that to the students whose time is entirely spent on the school grounds. By the time they graduate they have become accustomed to this unattached life and feeling no allegiance to the church do not work for it and in I believe the one necessary thing it. now is an organized church. We have a beautiful chapel but it now means little more than a place where services are held ; it should be the religious center, the spiritual home of every Christian boy and girl in the schools. Every sect and creed is represented here and for that reason the church's creed should be broad enough to include all who love and would serve Christ. If such a plan can be realized, it would be easy to instruct classes of the members in the fundamentals of the Christian faith and thus give them a broad, deep foundation. Another important branch est 5 of the work would he the discussion of plans and methods of conducting Sunday Schools and church meeetings. I believe this would make the religious work of the schools effective and lasting. The Christian students would leave the school with church letters to the church they prefer to join. They would leave feeling that they had belonged to the church and were under obligations to it. Above all they would he in sympathy with church work, and acquainted with its needs and ready to meet these needs. Our native pastors, toiling in the country elm relies, would have to help and encourage them educated, active, zealous lay members. J. L. H. LETTER FROM REV. DR. S.L. GULICK. Matsuyama, August ist, 1904 Dear Friends:— I am moved once more to send you a few words of greeting, this time not merely to report progress, but to let you know that we are on the point of returning once more to our beloved land. It is now almost seven years since we left home the last time (Sept. 2nd, 1897). We would naturally remain on the field ten years. But the Mission has seen fit to call us to Kyoto that I may take up the work of Theological instruction in the Doshisha. In order to make preparation for this work I have asked for a furlough of two years for special study. This the Prudential Committee has granted, so we are now packing up our household goods for shipment to Kyoto and preparing ourselves for our return to America. We are expecting to sail from Kobe, Aug. 21st. These past seven years in Matsuyama have been on the whole quiet and happy years. Our hands have been full of work. The people, both the Christians and others, have been most kindly in their relations with us, and reasonably responsive to our efforts. While the results of our work are not such as we could wish, still we rejoice to feel that we have not labored in vain; some results have been visible, but more we trust are known only to Him who knows the hearts of men. Perhaps the most visible result of our life in Matsuyama is the Factory Girls' Home, of which I enclose a separate report. In this Home we naturally take great satisfaction and also in the consecrated young man who has devoted himself to this work for factory girls. Immediately beside the Home stands the little Komachi Church, dedicated the Bth of July. We may also think of this as in part the result of our efforts, this church having grown out of the Station �6 Chapel which has been carried on the past four years in that part of the city. All of the members live in Komachi and many of them have been brought into the church through our work here. Mrs. Gulick's Cooking and English classes, and my English and Bible classes for young men and also for young women have of course no permanent organization and are not therefore such forms of work as can maintain a permanent life without the help of some foreigner. Rev. and Mrs. Newell are to come to Matsuyama in the fall, and will doubtless keep up these forms of work, taking better advantage no doubt of the many opportunities for Christian work than we have been able to. We leave Matsuyama feeling that we have many real friends here. Our plans after reaching home are still very indefinite. The first year I wish if possible to visit several of our leading seminaries for short periods of study anil especially of intercourse with the professors of Theology. The second year I wish to visit Scotland and England and then settle down for the larger part of the year in Germany. The family will doubtless spend much if not all the time at Mrs. Gulick's home in Oakland, California, where the children will have the best of educational facilities, which we are prepared to appreciate to their full. The most conspicuous thing that has happened to me recently has been the rabid criticism in April of me and my book on Japanese Evolution in one of the Matsuyama dailies by a Japanese student in Vale by the name of Mr. Mori. For twelve successive days the deluge poured forth. It nearly set the town on fire. One group of young men wanted to challenge me to a duel. The City Chief of Police was much exercised, sending a secret service officer to make special inquiries as to my welfare and cautioning me to be careful, fearing lest some violence might take place. The same paper was, however, willing to publish an equally full reply from me in which I showed that Mr. Mori had badly misrepresented my book. This reply quieted matters pretty well and all has become serene again, in spite of the fact that a second deluge filled half the issues for July. The Chief of Police called in person a few days ago to assure me that I need not worry as no one was paying any attention this time to the attack. They had become disgusted with it and did not even read it. On the whole my book has received unexpectedly high commendations from many sources, for which, not unnaturally, I am very glad. We are spending the summer here in Matsuyama and are being favored with exceptionally cool weather thus far. ] THE FRIEND am giving myself night and day to the as in China and Japan.

The foregoing letter is accompanied by a pamphlet of twelve pages, being "The Second Annual Report of the Matsuyama Factory Girls' Home," dated July 18, 1904, and containing six photographic illustrations. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick spent one day in Honolulu, between Sept. sth and 6th, on their voyage eastward, and met many friends here. The Doctor has laid out a large program of work in preparation for his new post of duty in the Dashisha. A WORD FROM THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS. Rev. James Kekela has just received, by way of San Francisco, letters from his two sons, Samuel and John Kekela, residents on the Marquesas, of dates respectively July 15th and July nth. Each of these letters, after treating of matters of general and of family interest, state that the Roman Catholic missionaries upon those islands are being recalled for return to France. Their schools are to be disbanded and their lands arc in the hands of the government, and it is said that they are all to leave. One of these writers says: "These are the rumors that have come to our ears, the truth of which time will reveal." For nearly a century France has been the bulwark of the Roman Catholic missions in the islands of the Pacific, as well ELISOHAF FATMHYLOOMIS It is our misfortune to be considered, even yet, as living at the ends of the earth, and while we live on these "flyspecks on the map of the world," we are likely to die in ignorance of many whom we should delight to know and honor if gravitation did not keep their fame so closely to the mainland. In the Ontario County Journal, published at Canandaigua, N. V., under elates of July 3, 1903, and April 8, 1904, we find obituary sketches of two Hawaiian missionary children of the olden time—a daughter and a son of the pioneer missionary printer, Elisha Loomis—whom we have not known any too well, and they, alas! possibly never even heard of our Society. In both sketches, Mr. Loomis is entitled Reverend. He was not so called while here; and he must have acquired the title after his return home, two years of his short life there being being spent as a missionary to the Indians at Mackinaw. He came to the Islands in 1820, and returned with his family in 1827, taking manuscript copy of the gospels of Matthew, Mark and John; and in the next year these came out in that little volume of 171 pages, bound in red cloth, and each of the three title pages hears the words—"Hookahi keia oka pai ana— ROCHESTER, N. Y.—l'aiia i ka mea pai palapala a Luniiki—lß2B." Miss Amanda Loomis, the subject of the first mentioned sketch, was horn in Honolulu, Dec. 4, 1821. Her primary education was acquired at Rushville, (hitario county, N. V., where her father's family lived; but in June, 1842, she was graduated from the Ontario Female Seminary at Geneva, having also become an expert musician. She taught in various schools near home, and then, in 1845, for the sake of a milder climate, she accepted an offer to take charge of the female department of the Natchez Institute, Natchez, Miss., making the trip via New York, the Atlantic and the Mississippi. Here she continued �THE FRIEND until the outbreak of the Civil War, when is driven to the rummeries and hell-holes she went to Ypsilanti, Mich., making outside of camp.

My Dear Sir: —Please accept my thanks for copies of the "Eighty-Second Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association," and for copies of Dr. Scudder's sermons. The accounts given in these reports, of the successful work conducted for the new pagan population of the Hawaiian Islands, are very surprising and encouraging, and should be more widely known. To have formed in a few years 13 Japanese churches, 5 Chinese churches, and 3 Portuguese Churches, besides 11 Chinese Schools, 6 Japanese schools, and to have conducted girls' seminaries and hoys' schools and kindergartens and social settlements for seven nationalities, is a noble beginning of a work hardly second in necessity, difficulty and importance to the former evangelization of the native Hawaiians.

This latter work is in the hands of Theodore Richards, who has divided the Sundays so that the Five divisions of both Old and New Testament History shall have their proportionate number of days. For instance, the first period, from Creation to the Deluge, has two Sundays alottcd to it in which Adam and Noah are discussed. A brief time will be left for treatment of Bible Institutions. The superintendent of the class, Mr. 11. C. Brown, together with his wife, Mrs. Brown, take up method and class and Sunday-School management. The session is only one hour, from 9:45 to 10:45. A “CLUB” INDEED! In the little town of Hookena, Hawaii, is a"club." If we called it a saloon we would not be flattering it unduly. That it is a"club" gives it its status. The women of Hookena want it moved. Where on God's earth shall we put it ? Do you want it in your neighborhood? It has been moved once and can be again banks nearly without injuring its efficiency. What? You don't know what a club "Deposits of savings doubled. "Court-martials have slightly decreased. "Admissions for alcoholism have decreased 33 per cent. "Admissions to the sick list have decreased 20 per cent." These are carefully worked-out figures and we only quote the results. Any one wanting details can be accommodated.

Answer: Coop them up; occupy them half their time and keep the beer keg under their noses. SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS. 7 NORMAL The second term of the Kawaiahao branch has opened hopefully. Nearly forty are enrolled. At the first session the examination papers of last term were discussed very generally and no marks were given out. The puri>osc was declared of presenting certificates to those who have done faithful work at the end of the year, which is to be the last Sunday in May. Prof. Wood of the Normal is? Here's what the Hookena women say about it: "At first it was opened to anyone who wanted to go in the lion's den, but it is a club." That leaves it still a mystery. But again, "Since this club has started, disturbances, fighting and all annoyances have happened." "There are children all around there, quick to catch the vulgar words and acts of the drunken". "the old and the young go into this den and drink till they are senseless". "two little schoolboys, one aged 12 and one 13, were made to drink in this den. That happened on the 25th of August." Now do you recognize it ? It has all the earmarks of a common, every-day saloon, although— "they got it dozvn here secretly because they knew w* were always against having a saloon around this place." Is the Territorial Treasurer responsible for this? ()r is it a matter of Ickjsc laws ? .. . ... WHAT IS WRONG? In our bringing-up, for example, have are been poorly instructed on the subject of "giving?" Is it "giving," anyway, when we pay for church and missions; and if so, do we Christians unconsciously place Jehovah in the same category with a street beggar when we put our five cent piece in the contribution box? Perhaps �8 THE FRIEND there is a duty in the matter and we haven't been informed about it. Why do some large churches, like'our own Central Union, for instance, get behind financially? "Because of hard times." Let no one deceive himself that way! We all have money to spend on ourselves. "Because the wealthy men do not come forward?" Not so. If it were true it would hardly be sufficient excuse. There are left too many responsible members. Comparisons arc invidious, but do members of secret fraternities consider that they are "giving" when they pay their proportionate share of lodge expenses ? Because "salvation is free" and no dues are charged on entrance to the church, shall a man sponge for his spiritual food? Assuredly not! No one really thinks so, but this desultory charitable notion is to blame: "If my emotions are properly worked on I'll give GOD a half-dollar." Why, it's fairly blasphemous! Note this: Systematic paying is what is needed; and there is more business than sentiment about it. If lam Christ's —bought with a price,—what relation has my income to that fact? "Oh," you say, "it's all His!" Yes, yes, but what is the practical outcome? How much escapes your selfish uses and gets into the channels of the work for which Christ died,—or even for the purpose of making your morning pew comfortable? If Christians paid as much as one-tenth of their income to Christ's uses there would be almost no church debts and the world would be brought to the knowledge of Christ in one generation. If tithdng is "too slavish," (by the way, let us note Scriptural grounds for it), then let it not be said that a slavish notion results in more than the free offering of a son and heir, yea—"joint heir." BOYS’ CLUBS. Mr. Turner arrived on the Korea, Monday, Sept. 26, full of enthusiasm for his work and of ideas for use in boys' clubs and Sunday schools. He reports a profitable conference in Winona, Indiana. A meeting of the officers of the clubs was held in Castle & Cooke's office, Friday, Sept. 16. The subjects under discussion were the trade school and the field. A report was read by the treasurer, Mr. Castle, showing something of a debt on the field, but with a portion of the needs of the year subscribed for. Just the right man to look out for the trade school is one of the problems. The committee think they have the right individual to recommend for the next meeting. It is proposed this year to offer the use of the school to certain boys' and girls' schools in the neighborhood so there may be the biggest possible use dia and China, when several millions of of the plant without conflict with the men, women and children slowly waste engagements of the boys' clubs. away to death by starvation.

It has been perhaps a fond hope of optimistic minds that this Twentieth Century would become one in which the violent struggles of past centuries would be abated, and it would be pre-eminently a century of peace. But instead of any realization of so sweet a hope, this new century in its early outset already meets a baptism of blood and fire, scarcely less violent than what ushered in the nineteenth. And everywhere we see the Great Powers equipped with larger and more complete forces for mutual destruction than ever before. Military skill is more perfect, and more thoroughly and systematically cultivated. Arms both of power, precision and rapidity are immensely more advanced and numerous, while the naval armaments of at least eight nations are each of them adequate to crush in a few minutes the world's combined navies of fifty years ago. The whole presages not any near-by Peace, but desperate Wars. But the question still arises, how great, comparatively, is the evil of War? When we read our cable dispatches, how perhaps 50,000 men have been killed and wounded in a single week's operations in one locality, one's mind turns almost sick with horror at such" a mass of human slaughter and suffering. But we may well bethink ourselves whether such evil is the greatest, or even one of the greatest, which befalls mankind. Consider the oft-recurring facts of famine years in In- Tolstoi, who wholly misinterprets the teachings of the Lord Jesus on this subject. Neither Christ nor His Apostles ever denounced war itself as the instrument of national power and defence, nor did they ever represent the soldier's calling as other than worthy and honorable. Their exhortations against all spirit of revenge and private resentment are quite another thing. "Blessed are the peacemakers" never meant that any nation was meekly to bow its neck to the tread of an insolent conqueror, when it was capable of protecting its people from ravage and tyranny. Our American ancestors did nobly and righteously when they threw off the yoke which the tyrant, George, sought to fasten upon them. May the day never come when nations will flinch from righteous defense of their own people or of others oppressed. It is our own judgment that Japan has done only its highest duty and done it nobly in arresting the insolent march of Russian Despotism over the lands and seas of the Orient. We believe that the God of Hosts is on the side of Japan and is giving her the victory. And we earnestly expect that such victory will be for the ultimate good, not only of Japan and China, but not less of Russia and S. E. B. Europe. NEWS ITEMS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Rev. and Mrs. John P. Erdman, whose marriage in California was announced in last month's Friend, arrived as expected. They have passed their honeymoon in Honolulu. For �THE FRIEND weeks they were the guests of Judge and Mrs. Walter F. Frear in their chalet on Tantalus, where the Frears were enjoying their summer vacation. Returning to the city to meet Mrs. B. F. Dillingham (the bride's mother), on September 6th, the rest of the month has been passed in the home of her childhood, preparing for her change of home, and receiving many attentions from friends. A very interesting incident of this month was at the meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific Isles, on the afternoon of Sept. 6. This was the first gathering of the Board after a three months' vacation. A short farewell exercise had been planned by the new President, Mrs. Doremus Scudder, who presided that afternoon, in honor of our departing missionary daughter, Mrs. Marion Dillingham Erdman. A short address by Dr. Wm. M. Kincaid voiced the feelings of all, in parting with this beloved young missionary, our affection and appreciation of her, and joy that we were to be so represented in Japan. Then followed the touching response of Mrs. Emma (Lowell-Smith) Dillingham, Treasurer of the W. B. M., her mother, speaking of her pride in her own missionary parents; also with trembling lips she expressed her perfect satisfaction in dedicating her child to missionary work, and confidence in God's plans for the future of His cause. Tearful eyes were the responsive answer of the audience to this brave mother heart! Then came a few brave, simple words from the daughter, who modestly and calmly expressed her purpose to take up this work in the strength of the Lord. She was then seated by her mother's side, in view of all, and her husband, Rev. Mr. Erdman, was called on for a few words. He told of their expected field of labor, and their desire to be used in the work together, of building up Christian youth in Japan. He was then Mrs. Dillingham's left, seated on through the rest of the meeting. Rev. and Mrs Erdman expect to leave for their field September 27th. An interesting private letter from the pen of Mrs. Lucy (Wetmore) Lewis of Hilo, Hawaii, was lately shared by M. A. C.; a few incidents are condensed here. Mr. Charles S. Lewis, her husband, whose home is in Oakland, Cal., decided to take his vacation in Oakland, Me., his old home, and to vary the regular course of travel, they took a Panama steamer, touching on the way at some of the ports of Guatemala, taking in a cargo of crude India rubber and enjoying the wild coast mountain scenery. Some of the peaks two are volcanoes, and only last year a de- structive eruption took place. They intended to cross the isthmus and proceed by steamer through the Atlantic to New York City, thence to Maine. With the reopening of the schools all over the Islands it is encouraging to learn that all the boarding schools to which the H. M. C. S. were so long pecuniarily helpful, are doing well. Miss Ellen G. Lyman, after a rest of almost four years from teaching, has taken her old place in Hilo Boarding School. Miss Anna I. Forbes is one of the teachers in Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. About two weeks ago arrived from California Mrs. Grace P. Haven, a grand-daughter of Sheldon Dibble, to try teaching for a year in the Kona Orphanage, the institution founded byMiss Alice Beard. She is a widow, her husband (an earnest, successful California minister of the Congregational church), having died about a year and a half ago. She had gone back to teaching in the San Jose Normal School. Many of the cousins in Honolulu were happy to make her acquaintance during the ten days she was here. On Saturday, Sept. 24, by steamer Kinau, arrived our Cousin Miss Fidelia Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii, under the care of her nurse, Mrs. Thomas Dickson. She is still very feeble, and the journey has been taken in hopes she may rally further, and by change of scene and circumstances be aroused and strengthened. It is sad to have to record fresh bereavements. The note of death of Mrs. Jane (Shipman) Reed (mother of the Shipman family of our own circle) was entered in The Friend last month. She passed peacefully away after long and painful suffering, on August 21st, 1904. Her funeral was largely attended from the Haili Church the next day, and was conducted by the Hawaiian pastor, Rev. Stephen Desha, assisted by Rev. Curtis Shields of the Hilo Foreign Church. Her pupils of a former school of Hilo girls, trained in the early sixties, covered her grave with flowers. On August 31st the sudden announcement of the death of Mrs. Sybil Augusta (Judd) Carter, (widow of the late Hon. H. A. P. Carter), after two days' illness from pneumonia, brought not sorrow only, but joy, to many who have loved her so, and watched her long, lingering decline of over ten years, during which she has been a lesson of patience, submission and faith to this community. Her son, Governor George R. Carter, had returned from his trip to Hilo a few days previous. The funeral at "Sweet Home" was 9 largely attended by every class of the community. The family lot in Nuuanu Cemetery was reached by a short walk through the family grounds, over a grassy lawn, while the strains of sweetest music came from the Government Band, stationed just mauka of the grave. All the arrangements for interment were touchingly complete and restful. The arrival that morning of Dr. William M. Kincaid, her pastor, from his vacation East, seemed most opportune. He read the Burial Service of the Episcopal Church, while Rev. Henry H. Parker, (Mrs. Carter's beloved neighbor and friend, who had often before ministered in that home), read Scripture and offered prayer. The news by cable on September 13th of the death of our Cousin Samuel T. Alexander in Africa, comes so close on the shock of the death of Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, his traveling companion, as to complete the association of their life time by this annual closing event, their mutual death in Africa. S. T. Alexander had consummated his desire to reach and view the "Victoria Falls," but met with an accident there, which was the cause of his death. A memorial service of the 11. M. C. Society is planned for Monday evening, September 26th, in the chapel of the Oahu College Preparatory department, which will be reported in future. M. A. C. UNIVERSITY WORK FOR CHINESE. By Rev. E.W. Thwing. A recent number of the New York Times gives interesting facts as to the progress of educational work for the Chinese. Colleges and schools arc being organized throughout the Empire. A UNIVERSITY AT CANTON. Speaking of one of the most importof these institutions, the Times says: "Within a very few weeks active work will begin in China upon what is undoubtedly destined to be the largest college in that country devoted to broad educational principles in the English language and in accordance with the most modern high school and college methods. This institution is the Canton Christian College. It occupies temporary quarters in the suburbs of Canton at present, where the work has been carried on for five years. During that time the trustees and others in this country who are interested in the development of the colant �THE FRIEND 10 lege and its work have been raising money and planning a permanent system of buildings, which, when completed, will offer facilities for 3,000 or more Chinese students, besides containing ample room for the residences of the teachers and officers of the college. "This large property will not assume appearance all at once. Several years undoubtedly will be required before the ambitious scheme of the founders will be realized. The first and most difficult part of the work, however, has already been achieved. The college is organized, the foundation has been laid, several teachers, graduates of American universities, are in charge of the educational work of the college at present, a fund of over $]00,000 has been raised to begin the permanent college buildings, and the land—thirty-five acres—has just been purchased." a collegiate University work for the Chinese and Japanese than in this Hawaiian Territory. Many bright young Chinese and Japanese students are now living here. With the best opportunities for Western learning, many others will come from China, Japan and Korea to secure a better education. China is unusually rich in mineral wealth. Her development and advancement can best be accomplished by training and educating her own people. It is most fitting that at this, America's outpost in the Pacific, there should be a fullyequipped college or university for the Chinese and Japanese. And for every dollar America puts into the upbuilding and advancement of China and Chinese, she will secure tenfold returns in trade and friendship for her neighbor on the other side of the Pacific.

And so our vision climbs to the wooded mountain crests which hide themselves in billowy clouds, or touch the blue sky bravely, as if in delight at their own loveliness. The changing light and shade make the scene one of transcendent beauty, never monotonous, for it is never twice the same. A sense of deep peace falls upon you and, under its gentle influence, you forget the "trivial round" and the petty cares, and rest. Then, while you rest, you recall the Wondrous imagery of the Bible as your mother taught it to you, long ago when you were a child. You remember how the mountains were made to express the varying emotions of the soul. How they told of divine power; of enfolding care; of love, of joy and peace. How they trembled as with fear and fled at God's rebuke. How they shouted and sang; danced and clapped their hands in exhuberant joy. Your heart sings with David: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." You recall the promise,—"They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion which cannot be removed but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth, even forever." Look ! The westering sun is painting the clouds with tints of rose and pearl; the deepening shadows touch the "hills of God" with loving fingers; the kindly air seems like the divine "breath of life," which changed the soul of man into the "living spirit," and "He who made us," though perhaps, we had half forgotten Him, becomes again, as to our childish faith, a real presence in whose loving care we can safely trust. MRS. J. M. WHITNEY. REMINISCENCES OF REV. T. L. GULICK. It must have been in the summer of the writer remembers to have been voyaging in the pleasant company of the late Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, who was at that time nearing the close of his pastorate of the Makawao Foreign Church. We were on the steamer Kinau bound for Hilo. It was a pleasant afternoon. We had left Kohala point behind us. We had skirted the beautiful Kohala plantations, had speculated upon the apparently recent age of the volcanic cones on the crest of the northern ridge of the Ko- 1892 that hala mountains, and were opening the great I'ololu ravine,out of the upperend of which my father had laboriously climbed in 1825. Before us lay what was like a great recess on the northeast flank of the Kohala mountain. It was about eight miles in breadth along the coast, and one and a half miles in depth. It included the two vast valleys of Waipio and Waimanu, as well as those of 1 lonokane and I'ololu at the northwest. The nature of this wonderful piece of scenery became at once the subject of earnest discussion. It was my first near front view of it from the ocean. Expressing a desire to pass nearer the shore, Mr. Gulick spoke to the captain, who at once kindly headed the ship close in, where we had a wonderful view of the mighty verdure-clad precipices towering from 1500 to 2000 feet above us. 1 began by propounding the opinion that this vast wall of precipice was simply the effect of marine erosion; of the wearing away of the coast by the ocean waves, such being apparently the cause of the low precipices along the part of theKohala coast which we had just passed. To this Gulick at once demurred, and strongly contended that it was caused by an immense fracture of the mountain side which bad broken off and fallen into the ocean depths. I did not readily accept this opinion, but became gradually convinced by the cogency of his reasoning, and have ever since been thoroughly satisfied of its correctness. It was a good geological lesson taught. Without undertaking to repeat his whole line of reasoning, the chief arguments were perhaps as follows: Such an enormous precipice could not possibly have been cut away by the ocean waves. It was several times the height of the sea precipices both northwest and southeast. Moreover, this huge wall was recessed back of the other coast lines, from one and a half to two miles into the mountain, indicating that a massive section had been taken out by a sudden local convulsion. An especially strong piece of evidence was the existence of a vast chasm parallel to the coast, lying from four to five miles inland. This chasm was about a mile wide, mainly opening into the great Waipio valley, but also showing at the head of Honokanc. Such a chasm lying directly athwart the natural course of streams, could not have been caused by Aeolian erosion. It must have been the effect of the same rending convulsion which broke off the shore line, and remains as visible proof of that peculiar violent action. It should be noted that this inland chasm does not communicate with the great Waimanu valley, but lies right across the head of it, separated by a nar- 1 THE FRIEND - row ridge-. I give some of these facts and figures from the recent careful map of the island. Mr. Gulick especially adduced the frequent existence on these islands of extensive littoral precipices, evidently fro Hired off by l<x al convulsions which have dropped large masses of mountain into the ocean depths. I was able to confirm this from my own observation. Very conspicuous on the island of Hawaii is such a fracture in Puna, directly south of and seven miles from the volcano of Kilauea. It is evidently quite recent. The precipice is over 1500 feet high and many miles in length. Above the brow of the precipice lie a succession of fissures p.uullel therewith, as if ready at any moiiunt to break off. On the map ibis precipice is some fifteen miles in length. At its base is a broad shelf of fresh- looking lava, some three miles wide, evidently poured into the sea at the time of the convulsion. The uplands between this and Kilauea are studded with recent cinder cones, evidences of explosive eruptions apparently of the same date. Again on the Kona coast is a clear trace of a similar precipice, extending from north of Kealakekua bay for some six miles to beyond Ilonaunau at the fionolulu Iron Olorks 00.

The one exception is the precipice at the head of Kealakekua bay. There the lava streams have shunned the precipice, but have flowed down to the sea on either side, thus enclosing the bay and harbor. Elsewhere along the Kona coast, where the calm sea is devoid of tendency to marine erosion, are no precipices, but the long mountain slopes descend regularly to the ocean. The north shore of the main mass of the island of Molokai seems to have been formed in the same manner. The whole northern part of the mountain has broken off and disappeared, leaving an enormous precipice along the whole coast. Indeed, this great fracture seems to include the western half of the island. A great fracture and subsidence of the same kind of very recent occurrence seems to be that which produced the long precipice facing west, which extends from the south point of Hawaii due north far inland into Kahuku. This conference between Brother Gulick and myself was a memorable one as to my own knowledge gained. This dear friend subsequently made many remarkable journeys in lands remote, and now in the ripeness of years, has closed his bright and active life of service in the interior of Africa, antipodal to his native land of Hawaii. INFIDEL AND REVERENT HIGHER CRITICISM. No doubt it is far too late in this age of increasing knowledge for any Christian teacher plausibly to maintain the ancient doctrine of our fathers, that every part of our Bible is historically true, and that every one of the sixty-five separate books of which it was compiled long after they were written, were supernaturally dictated by inspiration from God, and verbally accurate. It must be fully admitted to be the fitting and reasonable function of the Higher Criticism to search out and duly weigh the evidence as to the source and origin of each book. And this task must be performed as thoroughly and impartially as that of striving to determine and verify the true origin of the poems of Homer or Horace, or of the histories of Thueydides or Tacitus. In such an investigation it must be assumed as a real possibility, that some of the books commonly thought historically true, may probably be found to be works of sacred fiction, and others may prove not to have been written by their nominal authors. Job and Jonah may prove to have been Sacred Dramas. Isaiah may be a combination of the writings of two separate prophets. The authorship of THE FRIEND certain books of the New Testament may possibly have been assigned to the wrong writers. The Antediluvian portion of Genesis may prove to have been compiled from obscured traditions preserved in Abraham's family, and reflecting only a general historical verity. All such maybe legitimate results of a sound and reverent study of the Sacred Books, and to be treated as such by earnest believers in the Bible as containing a reliable Revelation from God. One may even go much farther and saythat very tolerant and forbearing treatment may be due to the conclusions of some Higher Critics who seem needlessly to invalidate the genuineness of greatly valued portions of the Bible, such as the Book of Daniel, or even the authorship of the Gospel of John, while yet they hold to the great sacred and Divine element pervading the whole great compilation. Impartial fairness as well as the spirit of Christian kindness forbids us to pursue with reproaches truly believing men who are earnestly striving to attain the truth, even though we may clearly perceive that they are being misled. But there is a very different spirit pervading a large proportion of the Higher Criticism now prevalent especially in Germany, and becoming prominent in England and America. It is a spirit of radical Unbelief in any Divine Revelation to man. It is therefore fitly and properly to be termed Infidel Criticism, and is to be thoroughly distinguished from that Reverent Criticism which heartily recognizes and delights in the presence of God's Word in the Bible. This Infidel Criticism begins by positing as a fundamental principle that God does not and cannot directly reveal Himself to the mind and thought of man; that all miracles are necessarily untrue and delusive; and that all reported revelations, such as Paul's on the road to Damascus, must be unfounded fancies of a disordered mind. Hence, all records of Revelations are to be dealt with by the critic as unhistorical or spurious. Another basal principle of this false criticism is that the origin and source of every form of religious belief is to be found solely in the mind of man himself; that all Religions are the products of Evolution, which is the fundamental principle of all growth and progress; that therefore the source of the Monotheistic religion of Jehovah in Israel is to be sought in a gradual growth and development, so that all pretended records of a Divine Revelation through Moses are to be discarded as unhistorical. Thus the labors of the Infidel Critics are guided wholly in pointing out the line between the real and the fanciful in the Bible, as predetermined wholly by their own fundamental rule of unbelief. All that is supcrnatu- ral is necessarily fanciful. The residuum of the real leaves man to absolute unbelief in any revealed Word of God. Confused and fantastic masses of this Infidel Criticism are being put forth to discredit the Bible by learned professors in Germany, and often adopted with approval even by Theological teachers in England and America. For this very prevalent and grotesquely fantastic Criticism of Unbelief, the loving Christian believer, whose soul recognizes in the Bible the voice of his God and Father, can feel only repulsion and horror. It rises before his mind as a poisonous enemy. Our faith remains unshaken in the Sacred Record of God's Revelation of His ways and His will. Our hearts respond awedly and lovingly to His appeals and His promises. Above all, we rapturously own in the Lord Jesus Christ the supreme revelation of the Father, the "One altogether lovely." Those fantastic devices of evolutionistic critics to shake our hearts' adoring faith are only wind-drift beating against rock-sealed castles. It is only another form of the enemy's pertinacious war against Christ.* Church. But the gates of 1 lell are not to prevail. S. E, B. A GOOD ELDER. Our Chinese church at Kaiopihi, Kohala, Hawaii, has a good elder, Mr. Leung Cho Shin of Hawi. He was born in Ka Yin Chew, Canton, China, fifty-five years ago. When he was a young man he studied theology for a long time in the Theological College of Lei Long. He is thoroughly versed in biblical knowledge. He is a good-natured man, strictly upright and honest in his dealings. When Rev. Kong Tet Yin left for China, Mr. Leong Cho Shin filled his place for about a year. The Christians here are all very glad that Mr. Leong Cho Shin is an elder, because he is very kind to them. He takes great pains to give comfort to the troubled. Ho is a man of his word, and is first in anything to help the Church; when the Church needs money, he is the first and best giver. Through Mr Leong Cho Shin the Christians here are firm in their bcicf. I think if all of our churches had good elders, they would rise and have vast followers of ChrisC. S. B. tianity. OBITUARY. Henry Martyn Whitney. On the morning of August 17th, suddenly passed away from amongst us an aged and honored friend whose face and form, still little changed, had been familiar for nearly 55 years on the streets of Honolulu. Henry M. Whitney was the t~\\ t 1f * \ r nr-f • I\1 CW hi it t ll 1 t x (\? til I * (*"ir"lii*^t �13 THE FRIEND born white children in Hawaii. His father was the Rev. Samuel Whitney, one of the pioneer band of missionaries of 1820, whose home was at Waimea, Kauai. Henry was the third child, born June 5, 1824. With his brother Samuel, two years older, he was sent at the age of five, to make his home in Rochester, N. V., with a relative ofMrs. Whitney. There the two lads became fitted for college, Samuel graduating in the Amherst class of '43, and afterwards entering the Baptist ministry. He has recently deceased. Henry at the age of 18, found it inexpedient to enter college on account of deafness, and after receiving some business training, learned the trade of a printer. He was for some years in employment in New York City. While acting as a foreman in the printing house of 1 larper and Bros., in 1849, he received an appointment from Honolulu, to take charge of the printing office of the Hawaiian Government Promptly setting out via Panama and San Francisco, he arrived in Honolulu in September, 1849. Mrs. Whitney, married to him the day before he sailed, followed him to Honolulu around Cape 1lorn. During the greater part of the subsequent 55 years, Mr. Whitney has been prominent as a printer and editor, besides being for more than twenty years a member of the Royal Privy Council of State. His character made him prominent in the business community. For many years he was the only bookseller of the town, and some of our prominent business men received their early training under him. On July 2, 1856, Mr. Whitney issued the first number of the Pacific Commer-cial Advertiser, which continues to be the leading newspaper of Honolulu. Its character was always high during his editorship, both politically and morally. Mr. Whitney was for thirty-eight years a faithful member of the Bethel Church, and a consistent Christian, although debarred by deafness from prominence in religious exercises. His influence was always strong and positive for whatever was high and pure in morals and religion. Mr.""Whitney for many years held the office of Postmaster General at different periods. He designed and issued the earliest Hawaiian postage stamps, some of the rare specimens of which now command fabulous prices. Personally he was an attractive and lovable man, of somewhat impressive appearance, and retaining to the last of his eighty years his erectness and a good degree of his animation and activity. It was the writer's privilege to meet him on the street two days before his sudden death. He seemed full of cheer, although expecting, as he said, soon to become totally blind, an afflicton from which he has been happily and painlessly taken ticket." away into the light of Heaven. An unmarried son, and two daughters survive our dear friend. The latter, Mrs. Helen Kelley and Mrs. Wm. Goodale, of Waialua plantation, each have several children, and the former a recently marlied daughter. These dear friends may rejoice in an honored parentage. S. E. B. “SCRATCH” BY ALL MEANS! "There was a man in our town, Who was so wondrous wise, He * * * scratched—etc." There's wisdom in scratchng, even if the authority of the above seems doubtful. We believe there is much political sagacity in scratching especially in local affairs. Yes, Mr. Editor of the Advertiser, we are with you in your contention that only good men should get good votes here. In this little Territory, where other "isms" "Republicanism" and haven't begun to mean anything much, it is our opportunity to make them mean something by the standards we set up. If the Republican party persists in putting forward itspiebald ticket with a lot of stuff worse than merely useless on it, because forsooth, it can be elected, let the party suffer till it learns political wisdom. Of course it won't appear to suffer while this pitiful quackery of "party loyalty" dominates otherwise intelligent men. So long it may continue to elect its candidates,—and the Territory will do the suffering. What the Republican party wants is sufficient of a sharp lesson to make it clear that there are enough clean and capable men in this Territory to require that sort of men on the tickets. Then, if there is all that difference between a goodRepublican and a good Democrat that some claim there is, there will be the likelihood of a first-rate alternative, if one wants to vote either ticket • What security have the tax- payers for that? He will have to make it worth their while. What are your exthieves and gamblers in politics for? But, with all respect to the Governor, we don't want men he can manage. We want the kind of men who can not be managed by him or any one else. Perhaps we are not quite ready to have our legislative body a mere arm of the executive, good as it is. Now we contend that a good deal of this "loyalty to party" talk is vicious. There has been too much already of such as this, —"you won't get any attention to your pleas for good roads till you come into our party camp." "If you arc to expect anything of the administration, you must work for a set of men pleasing to that administration." What plan could be better adapted to the raising up of a host of sycophant voters? Isn't the fruit already evident in the Hawaiian vote? "I'm a Republican, lend me a dollar,"—haven't you heard it? There is no way of teaching the Hawaiian the ethics of voting like the "turning" down of worthless candidates. Now he is urged to vote the straight ticket, good or bad. No, no; teach him to be wise and scratch. Scratch out poor trash, without regard to color. * * * * "And when he found his eyes were out ***** lie jumped and scratched them in again." Ayc.that'sthe only cxcusefor scratching these sorts of fellows in on any ticket again, viz., "When our eyes arc out." Thank heaven, we see all right yet! Moral: As there is some good material on the Democratic ticket, here's our political creed: —As for me and my house, we will scratch faithfully. T. R. * "The voters of Honolulu arc entitled to know at the earliest possible date whether the Repuhlican party of Hawaii has a public straight. gambling plank up its sleeve or not. are also entitled to know whether they '■Primaries?"

A citizen generally finds that the "job-chaser" has preceded him at the primaries, and unless he is willing to force himself into obnoxious prominence, he hasn't any chance of affecting the situation. But his vote counts, and if the primary managers got it into their heads that there were independent voters to deal with, not a lot of puppets, labelled "My Party, Wrong or Right," there would be a different set put on the ticket. "Scratch, brothers, scratch with care." What's this? "The Governor can manage this riff-raff element on th^ primaries?" illegally drawing a public salary. "The community awaits the outcome with eager interest."—Advertiser, Sept. 28. Saloon Selections. WHAT LABOR GETS. In the manufacture and sale of liquor less money is paid for labor in proportion to the cost to the consumer, than in the manufacture and sale of any other commodity. If a laboring man buys $100 worth of boots and shoes, he buys $20.71 of labor. �THE FRIEND 14 In buying $100 worth of furniture he buys $23.77 °f labor. In every $100 worth of hardware he buys $24.17 of labor. In every $100 worth of clothing he buys $17.42 of labor. In every $100 worth of cotton goods he buys $16.91 of labor. In every $100 worth of men's furnishing goods he buys $18.34 of labor. In every $100 worth of worsted goods he buys $13.55 of labor. In every $100 worth of woolen goods he buys $12.86 of labor. In every $100 worth of liquors he buys $1.23 of labor. J f eight laboring men spend $800 for furniture, hardware, clothing, cotton, wonted and woolen goods and men's furnishing goods, they contribute $137.43 to labor, and at the same time they bring valuable supplies to their families, they stimulate business and add to the demand for labor. If the $800 is spent in the saloon only $9.84 goes for labor, the families are made wretched, and the men themselves are made worse, physically, financially and morally, their jobs are imperiled and they have wasted their money.—National Bureau of Statistics. BOTH PARTIES FRIENDLY. A careful canvass on the political situation made among representative liquor dealers shows that the trade in general was well pleased with Judge Barker's speech of acceptance. It is considered safe and conservative ami has made a good impression. There is, however, little interest, speculation or discussion manifested in the present campaign. The impression seems to prevail that Roosevelt will be elected, but if he should not be, the other man is considered equally sound and safe. Interest in this campaign seems to have died out. —From the Wine and Spirit Gazette, "universally recognized as the leading exponent in the United States of the liquor interests," Xew York, August 31, 1904. WHO ENTERED POLITICS FIRST. The liquor dealers entered politics first. The liquor dealers of the State of Xew York, at their convention in Syracuse in 1855 covenanted together as follows: "Rksoi.vko, That all liquor dealers, importers, and jobbers, grocery keepers, saloon and hotel keepers, brnvers, hopgrowers, bottlers of cider, manufactur- crs, and all others in any 'way connected with or interested in the liquor business, do hereby pledge themselves upon their li7'CS, property and sacred honor. THAT THEY WILL SUPPORT NO MAN FOR ANY 118 WILL OFFICE WHATEVER UNLESS SOLEMNLY AGREE TO SUSTAIN THEIR IN- . TEREST IN EVERY I'ARTIt 11.AX." The same course was promptly adopted by all liquor dealers throughout the nation.—New Voice. INFORMATION WANTED. Dr. P, S.

Strolling thoughtfully along one day, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a very active camp - meeting of negroes. Two or three ministers present recognized him. introduced him to others, and soon the Bishop found himself so popular that he was fairly dragged to the speakers' platform and asked to say something to the assemblage, lie consented; and one of the blacks stepped forward to introduce the unexpected visitor. This master of ceremonies went right to the point. He bade the gathering know that they were all of one pur]>osc and spirit, notwithstanding the difference in complexion, and wound up as follows: "Now, brethren and sisters, Brother Vincent, as yo' can see for yo'selves, is white of face; but at heart, let me tell yo'—at heart, I say!—he is as black as any of us."
