But in order to reach this ideal in ecclesiastical statesmanship a center for English work is imperatively demanded. Wainee Church building is somewhat out of the way for the kind of work to be done and the new methods require a suitable Parish House. Fortunately an old stone building, rootless and floorlcss, but otherwise strategically situated and of very ample proportions, once used as a branch church and then as a school house and bearing the appropriate name of Hale Aloha, stands yet in the name of Wainee, available for this very use. The Church members resolved to rally about their pastor in his plans, subscribed a sum of money and set about to raise more. It is found that some $700 additional must be secured to put this building in complete repair. A subscription paper is on foot in Honolulu now and it is hoped that the entire sum may be raised in the course of the next few weeks. Mrs. F. M.

Missionary Fifty Years. One-half century ago on October 21, 1851'), Rev. Hiram Bingham was consecrated a missionary of the American Roarcl to Micronesia. On his way out he, with his beautiful bride, stopped at I louolulu, the young couple of striking physical attractiveness winning the admiration of all. They were called to settle on one of the Gilbert Islands, .vhere hardship and wretched fare soon did their work, wrecking the health of both. Returning to Honolulu they continued here during the intervening years, giving time and energy unstintedly to the far away Islanders, together translating the Bible and a number of useful books into the Gilbertese language, until Mrs. Ringham was called home some two years ago. Since then Dr. Ringham has continued his labor of love with unabated courage, his present task being the completion of the Gilbertese dictionary.

From the Journal of Joel Bean. yth mo. <;. I set out on a tour around the island, in order to attend a meeting of the Missionaries, and of the native Churches at Haiiula, and to visit Wai- alua. I started in company with Eli Corvvin and Dr. Judd,—they in a small wagon (or buggy) and lon horseback, having procured a native horse for the lour. Our course was over the Pali to Kaneohe. A carriage had never been known to go down the Pali, and my traveling companions were the first to undertake such an adventure. They both rode down, Dr. Judd's son leading the horse, the two hind wheels being locked, and several natives holding back with with a rope They went down in safety, but riding on too late, over a road unused to carriages, they were upset, horse, wagon and all into a ditch; but happily without injury to themselves, or damage even to their harness. I called at the I'arker Mission to spend the night, having prcviouslv passed a pleasant Sabbath there. I was kindly welcomed, and our company was soon increased by the arrival of !•'. \\ Clark, Lowell Smith and Samuel Damon, on their way to the meeting.

The foreigners of our company, on arriving, all repaired to the house of Kuaea, which is near the meeting house. It is an interesting spot—the mountains looking down on one side, and on the other, the music of the vast Pacific's waves is perpetually heard. Here we met J. S. Emerson, to whom 1 had a letter of introduction from A. H. Loomis of San Francisco, the Chinese Missionary. In the afternoon was held a meeting of the ministers of this island, to which I was cordially admitted, where my credentials were presented and read. This is a meeting held semi-annually, in which essays are read on various subjects, assigned at a previous meeting.

CELEBRATION OF MOTHER RICE'S NINETIETH BIRTH-DAY ANNIVERSARY. On the nth of October Mrs. Mary S. Rice of Lihue. Kauai, filled out the four score and ten years of a most happv and useful life. By a happy thought of some of her Hawaiian friends, one hour of the meeting of the Association of the Island of Kauai was set apart for thanksgiving to the Heavenly lather that He had so long spared the life and health of this beloved mother in Israel. The morning hour, from ten to eleven, of Thursday. ( >cl. 18, the Kauai Association, by appointment, listened to speeches from four of its members, in reminiscence of the life and labors of this highly esteemed lady. First Rev. J. M. Lydgate gave us American Indians of Oregon, but sailing for Oregon by way of Cape Horn, and Honolulu, were detained on the islands, and with the full approval of the American Board, joined the Hawaiian Mission, and were located for three years at liana, Maui, and thence were transferred to I'tinahou, where, associated with Rev. Daniel Dole, and Miss Maria M. Smith, they for some years had a large share in shaping the character of the earlier children of the Mission. Failure of health on the part of Mr. Rice led to a withdrawal from the direct Missionary connection, and a location at Lihtie, Kauai, while Mr. Rice still caring for the Hawaiian Church also engaged in the culture of sugar cane as a means of self support. Mrs. Rice was left a widow about The Hawaiian thirty years ago. �THE FRIEND 10 churches and pastors who have received aid from Mrs. Rice during these years, can not be numbered. The philanthropic, educational and missionary causes that have received aid from this enlightened gfiver are legion. Mr. Gulick spoke briefly of his relation to Mother Rice as a Punahou hoy in the early days of that institution ; and of her having early learned, and through life practiced on the principal that "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Mr. Win. H. Rice, Sr., followed with an interesting speech in vernacular Hawaiian in which he mentioned that his mother's father was a missionary to Indian tribes in the northern States in early times, showing that his mother from her childhood had been familiar with the trials and the joys of missionary life. Never had a son more cause to honor his mother. The harmony and healthy condition of the ministers and churches on the Island of Kauai, we think, is due in no small degree to the humble Christian life of this honored lady. Yet long may she live to he a light and blessing to her children, her many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and to the entire Kauai community. O. H. G. TRIBUTE TO MOTHER RICE AT THE NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Not infrequently, especially at this lime of the year, we have days which, in the morning, give promise of great beauty which the afternoon does not redeem. The morning is cloudless— the noon-day is brilliant, but in the afternoon the sky darkens, the clouds pile up against the mountains, the rain descends and the day goes out in gloom and darkness. Then there are other days, which keep the promise of the morning, to the very end, the brilliance of the forenoon sinking into the chastened radiance of the late afternoon and the restful twilight of the gloaming. These are the perfect days. So there is many a life whose morning gives great promise, whose noon-day shows great accomplishment, but whose afternoon and evening are darkened and undone by weakness, or failure, or mistake, or sin which reflects back and discredits the whole life. The ideal lives are those in which morning promise and noon-day accomplishment are followed by afternoon peace and joy. Such a life is that of our Missionary Mother, whose 90th birthday we celebrate today—Mother Rice. "They also serve who only stand and wait." The active service of a busy restless life is commendable. When (iod bids us "go" we may not wait. When Ciikl bids us work we may not rest, but there is a waiting, service which is just as commendable and just as much a service to the world as the busy life. To this anxious nerv- ous busy age of ours such a life as Mother Rice's, simple, quiet, restful, full of joy and peace, DESK OF SAMUEL J.

The commercial course, started last year, is now thoroughly outlined and well under way. It bids fair to become a popular course with the young men of the city. The courses in Chinese literature and history have been greatly expanded, giving a new impetus to the study of that language. Lack of room prevents the development of industrial features. That the school has excellent industrial material, however, is shown in the fact chat Mills students earned over a thousand dollars during the summer vacation working on the plantation of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company at Wahiawa. The school is fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. R. H. Leach for a third year. 11 is excellent service during the (last two years, his experience and his familiarity with the needs of the students make him a valuable man in the school. The school is equally fortunate in its new teachers, Mr. Charles F. Brissel and Mr. Robert G. Rogers. Mr. Brissel is a graduate of ( >beriin, Ohio, a college that has already given some valuable men to Hawaii. Mr. Rogers, who has charge of the commercial department, comes from the Pacific Coast Commercial College of San Jose, California. These strong young men, imbued with the true missionary spirit, have thrown the force of their lives into the work of the school and will exert a powerful influence upon the lives of their scholars.

Mr. Emerson's connection with the church at Shelburne Falls though full of charm, was not entirely satisfactory, as will be seen from the following letter: Writing from the home of his classmate. Rev. George A. Jackson, at Swanipton, Mass., in April, 1880, he says,"l am here with my. classmate Jackson in his pleasant home within sight and sound of the sea. My rooms at Shelburne Falls are deserted, but not dismantled. It gives me a pang to break away from familiar and pleasant scenes, but I am assured that it is best. Am not yet located in a new field of labor but hope soon to be. I want to be settled and not hired by the year, as I was in Shelburne Falls." His hope, though not immediately realized, was ere long made good in a manner that was ideally satisfactory. In 1881 (Feb. 23,) he writes from Peacedale, R. I.: "I am just through with the affair of my installation and am feeling like work. Have been busying myself this afternoon putting my books in good shape. The matter of organizing the work is the great thing now." 'fhe work and the whole environment of his life while in Peacedale were most cheerful and sympathetic. He had many and powerful friends and a devoted church. Nov. 13, 1888, he writes from Peacedale, R. I.: "It seems now to be an established fact that I am to go to the Islands. I received a letter to that effect from Dr. Smith (Secy. A. B C. F. M.) yesterday. I expect to read my letter of resignation next Sabbath and have it take effect at the end of the month —I may by great expedition succeed in getting off in time to take the steamer of the middle of December." The need of the Hawaiian churches for a man specially fitted for" work among them, and, as secretary of the Hawaiian Board, to hold them to their bearings, was great. A tidal-wave of paganism, fostered in high places was threatening to sweep all before it. Few of this day can appreciate the meaning of these words. There was even a threatened union of church and State—with Kalakaua at the head. These are not imaginative words: the danger was real and imminent. Delay was only heaping up the difficulty and deepening the flood. Mr. Emerson's response to this Macedonian cry, though made at great personal sacrifice—for it called him to ians phrase it, not the least of them was an optimistic acquaintance with human nature, as well as a growing fondness and acquaintance with the best literature. This gave him insight into all the vexed questions of correction and discipline as they arose in Hawaiian matters, the other added substance to his Hawaiian speech, in which he possessed in no small degree the gift of eloquence. Mr. Emerson was married February 15, 1896, to Miss Eugene Homer of Roxbury, Massachusetts. Their wedding journey led them to England, through parts of Europe, as far as to Athens. He returned to Hawaii with Mrs. Emerson in November of the same year and again took hold of his work with renewed enthusiasm ; and in whatever part of the world his lot may be cast, it is to Hawaii that his heart will ever remain true. N. B. E. secration. Mr. Emerson landed in Honolulu in December, 1888. To return and utter a few words as to the religious—one might almost say the police-religious —situation in the Islands. The attempt was to yoke Church and State together in the same harness, the promised consideration for this spiritual headship, on the part of him who aspired to be the "Primate" of the Pacific, being the loaves and fishes, of government support. '1 he policy initiated by Doctor Rufus Anderson (Secy, of the A. B. C. F. M.) back in the sixties had worked its perfect work and this was the pass to which things had come. As to the workers on the side of righteousness in Hawaii—the chivalric Forbes, figtiting against heavy odds, had succumbed physically; Parker, Hyde, the valiant Bickneil and others kept up the fight.

We give below portions of a letter received from Mr. Akaiko Akana. A recent Boston Transcript article contained the names of the young Christians who were to take part in the prayer meeting about the Haystack monument. Two of these were from China tone being a lineal descendant of Confucius, studying in Vale), and one each from Japan, Africa, India, Mexico, Bohemia, Ceylon and Turkey. The tenth hails from Hawaii, Mr. Akana. Thus the public life of our young friend has begun early and he has had the rare honor of a place on the program of the greatest meeting in the history of the American Board. Under date of September 29 Mr. Akana writes from Hartford as follows: "Aloha I arrived here on the 24th day of this month after having a very pleasant trip across the Continent. I had no trouble whatever after I left San Francisco. I left Oakland on Tuesday night, September 18th, at 6 o'clock, and arrived at Chicago on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. I called at the Y. M. C. A. building and found Dr. Roy there instead of Dr. Tenney. The lady whom you spoke of came to meet me outside of the office and I gave her the letters and the slides. They were all safe. I had a very nice time with Dr. Roy that morning and I had lunch with him at noon. After lunch I visited the Art Institute, a part of the city, and also a part of the great lake, Michigan. After visiting, I went to the Michigan Central Depot to make preparations for the trip to this city, and at II o'lock that night I boarded the oe: train. I had a very interesting time in Chicago. "I arrived at Springfield, Monday, September 24., at 7 o'clock, and it was not long after my arrival there before I got on the New Haven Railroad train and reached here at 11 o'clock. About one o'clock in the afternoon I came to the Seminary and met Dr. Mackenzie here. He is really a fine man. He has a beautiful Christian character and I am truly delighted in having him for my faculty advisor. I met mostly all of the professors that same afternoon. Prof. Thayer assisted me in getting my room and in making arrangements for me here. I had everything settled at 5 o'clock that afternoon and felt very much at home then. It is a joy to me to be here in the midst of Christian men. I find the work here very interesting indeed. At present I am taking up the following studies: Old Testament Canon, New Testament Canon, Psychology and Propedeutics, Voice Building, one hour each week. It isn't so very cold here as I expected. The temperature here now is very much the same as it is in Honolulu, but it is awful to think that the weather wiil soon change. "I think of you often when I am alone and of the friends there. I was rather homesick the first two days here but such feelings are passing off by. degrees. "1 presume you have heard of all that had happened to us before I left. I was sorry for the expense that the Board had to bear. I appreciated Mr. Damon's service very much." [The expense refers to the papers he was required by the United States Government to procure certifying to facts of his native birth. Mr. Akana is a Hawaiian horn citizen of the United States, hut because his father is a native of China he was compelled to spend $38.90 to secure papers that would allow him to go from one Territory in our "Glorious Union" to a neighboring State. To this humiliating extent sandlotism in San Francisco has reduced our boasted liberty.—Ed.] ALEXANDER HOUSE. 13 and games which have been introduced. One devoted Japanese father brings his very small daughter earlyeach day and spends his entire morning in the kindergarten, evidently enjoying it as heartily as do the little ones. For assistants in the work, the kindergarten is training two young Hawaiian girls who are totally inexperi- enced; and a small Japanese girl who has no knowledge of English has just volunteered to give what help she can in return for the training she will re- ceive. Working with such untrained help is of course very difficult, and as the kindergarten depends so much upon the capability of the helpers employed, it is certainly to be hoped that the kindergartner may, in time, be able to devote her entire attention to the kindergarten itself, and the training of kindergarten students who may give their services in return for the kindergarten training course offered them by the director. If any one can inform us of suitably educated girls who are interested in work with children, and who would like to gain a kindergarten training in this way, we shall be very riad to correspond. A reception was given on Tuesday evening, October iGth, to welcome Miss C. L. Turner, who has been away from us during the past year, and to meet Miss Towner, the settlement worker, and Miss Strong, the kindergartner of Alexander House. The gen■ral invitation given to the people of Wailuku brought most cordial response and the kindergarten room at Alexander House was filled with over one hundred and fifty guests. A very enjoyable evening was passed in musical entertainment, games and conversation. We, who are new to the Islands, wish to express our hearty appreciation of the cordiality which has been shown us all along the way. C. L. S. Alexander Social Settlement opened Oct.

His wife and little child were there today. His sister was also at home as her husband had just died. She was married into a heathen family, and ti Id how she had tried, without success, to get her husband to come here to the hospital, hoping! that in that way Christianity might be brought to that home. Then, before he died, she told him how Jesus could forgive and take away sins and that it was not too late for him to confess his sins. That was a great deal for a Chinese girl to say to her husband. I told you before how "the sisters" were rather discouraged about the lion family, who seemed to go along in the same proud, indifferent way all the lime. But it seems as though the tide had turned. The girls are more friendly and ready to learn, and this boy at Fung Chou is so enthusiastic, and a little daughter of one of the family who is helping the London Mission has unbound her feet—the first of the whole family to do so. By the way, we sometimes have fun- conversations with the teacher, showing what the Chinese think about foreigners. The other day one of the sentences in the book said", "His wife's strength is greater than his." The teacher said that that was not often the case m China, because they had hound leet. but he supposed it wa's true sometimes in America. I said it was very seldom so there, and he seemed surprised and after considering for a moment asked very seriously whether it was on account of their waists being bound. He said they have a common saying "With Chinese it's the feet, and with foreigners it's the waist." It is so funny to have a man one minute using chemical symbols to make me understand the Chinese for acetylene lights, and the next minute asking questions that you might expect from a child of ten." On March u she writes, "Thursday a three days' mass began on the other side of the wall,—a regular pandemonium of drums and fifes which made it hard to study, since my room is the best possible place for hearing anything over there. Friday was just like Thursday, with a big racket all day. On both days they kept it up till late at night, and then had another session about three o'clock in the morning, for which they wakened us by firing off salutes. As long as there were no guns we could sleep through the rest well enough.

Before this affair took place I went over to the school and heard the exercises of the literary society, which I did not understand in the least. One of the girls described an imaginary trip to Hades, which amused every one very much. Nearly all of them are veryread v speakers, and would as soon as not get up there and talk about almost any subject. While the exercises were in progress all the girls were sewing on shoes or stockings which they all make for themselves. At noon I had done a rushing business at the "shop," in linings and other materials for the shoes. They are all getting ready for the "big meeting" in April. We must get our thin garments ready for then, too. Just a word more. The mail goes tomorrow. It goes every other day. It has been warm today and I had the plants out of doors.

A few days preceding election the ringstcrs were startled and the rest of the community moved to deep gratitude by the announcement of the determination of the Executive to leave no stone unturned to secure absolute fairness at the polls. The simple expedient chosen by Governor Carter to safeguard an honest count was the appointment of a large number of the best citizens as election inspectors. This action thoroughly demoralized the forces of evil. At the same time the sight of so many of the most honorable men in the community in charge of the polling booths gave a moral distinction to the balloting that had a decided effect upon the voters. Our Hawaiian fellow-citizens are peculiarly susceptible to appeals to their sense of dignity and propriety.

This Nothing better was most natural. could have been expected as the outcome of lost sovereignty, the fatal policy of President Cleveland, the carpetbagger influx and the emergence of noisy demagogs, all of which fanned racial flames. The wonder is that the reaction from the strict control of the Provisional Government and the Republic was not many times worse. The most startling thing about the Hawaiians was their moderation. The election of two years ago clearly showed how nobly they could act when dif- �4 fcrences were buried and the appeal to their higher nature was made strong and plain. Hut the election of November o revealed still deeper depths of integrity and self-respect. Certainly the effectiveness of missionary work never received greater vindication. The Hawaiian* of this island have shown a capacity for American citizenship, a discernment of the essential principles of civil liberty and the possession of self-governing power of a remarkable type. This people is rarely susceptible to moral leadership. The chief characteristic of the election was the well nigh universal scratching of hallots. This was as true of Hawaiian* as of whites. The native race has learned a lesson which hundreds of thousands of European immigrants on the mainland know nothing about. The reason of it is not far to seek. Hawaiians for generations have been readers. From the first missionaries taught the people to think. The form of Christianity introduced was neither monarchical, aristocratic nor oligarchical. It was democratic. The great mistake of 1863, the withdrawal of missionary leaders was a religious .blunder.

The victory for ideals achieved on November 6 is one more tribute to the puissance of the press. Honolulu's leading daily, of which the Territory has a right to be proud, fought the fight through to the finish. For more than a year and a half it has not let up one iota in its inexorable determination to see this city made worthy of its past. Other agencies have at times rested on their oars, but not this paper. Like the classic Fury it has kept to its task with the pitiless persistency of fate. Its campaign this fall was conducted with rare adroitness. It succeeded in exposing the wiles of the ring with a timeliness almost amusing. Finally when the crowning blunder of those whom the gods would destroy culminated in the madness of the Twilei rally, where the machine made its fatal bid for the votes of the vicious and ridiculed che reform candidate for sheriff as one who could be depended upon to execute the law, the Advertiser quick to discern the THE FRIEND grist of the mills of the gods seized tin- The Democratic Campaign. occasion to ensure the victory. All This was notable for its cleanness. honor to this doughty champion of Not a few of the Republican rallies good government. were disgraced with free liquor. Their chief opponents realized that they were The Part of the Civic Federation. Disgusted as were the better citizens with the shamelessness of the policemachine that had the audacity to seat forty-six policemen in the Republican nominating convention, they were at sea as to what practical course to follow to secure victory for the right. Most voters in elections where many offices are to be filled are ignorant of the great majority of candidates submitted for their franchises. Hence voting by parties as the easier way out of the difficulty has facilitated machine rule. Years ago a small group of public-spirited men in Chicago saw this and organized the Municipal Voters' League to study the records of candidates, tell the people plainly about them and give non-partisan advice by endorsing the best men. These reformers were laughed to scorn by practical politicians, but as soon as the citizens caught the idea, they abandoned the rings to their fate and elected League endorsees into a majority of the Common Council. Chicago has been well ruled ever since. Last year the Honolulu Civic Federation instituted this procedure here. It was misunderstood as all such movements at first are. It also committed the mistake of submitting the endorsements of its executive committee to the entire League. This year it proceeded on the principle well vindicated elsewhere that a small committee of men with no personal axes to grind can do the expert work of investigation better than a large body of general citizens. Its list of endorsements was exposed to fierce criticism. Its work was ridiculed on the stump and it provoked much merriment. Hut thoughtful men realized its disinterestedness. It proposed a definite honest program. It helped the common man to a safe voting ticket. The consequence was that only one of the men it opposed won out. that II out of the 15 legislators elected in Oahu County carried its endorsement, that in Honolulu every successful candidate but one on the county ticket and in the country districts all but two were men whom it had commended to the voters. Such a sweeping justification of its work had not figured even in the dreams of its members. building for the future. Many of their candidates were men worthy of the confidence of their fellow-citizens. The appeals made to the people for voles were mainly direct and telling. They gave a worthy exhibition of the manner in which a campaign aimed at intelligent electors should be managed. The large measure of success achieved testified to the appreciation of the people for this sort of electioneering. Still it is idle to claim that the gain was a party one. Practically there was no distinctive principle dividing Republicans and Democrats in intra-territorial affairs. The people voted in the main for those whom they considered the best men. No partisan result was achieved except in the case of the delegatcship which went to the Republicans and thus registered Hawaii on the side of President Roosevelt in national issues. Our Asiatic Fellow-Citizens. At least one of the Japanese papers of Honolulu came out openly for the corrupt police ring, but that this did not represent the real opinion of the sturdy, industrious, thoughtful and honorable people of that race was clear to any one taking the trouble to ascertain the truth. In their homeland the police department is so admirably managed that the sentiment of the best Japanese is one of contempt towards our inefHcient, grafting establishment. Heing a reserved people who do not advertise their real feelings it is not always easy to get at them. Those of us who know them found very widespread rejoicing over the downfall of what has been to them a menace. Stories of how their countrymen were mulcted by the police arc all too common among the Japanese and they have reason to feel satisfaction in the prospect of an upright conduct of this branch of the government. The Chinese, having a goodly number of voters, registered their opinion at the polls. It was one of the most notable features of the election that the younger Chinese citizens, i.e. not the mere handful mequeathed to us from the days of the Monarchy and Republic, but those who have grown up on the soil, acquired themselves nobly.

At Mohonk and in the annual meetings of the American Missionary Association it might be expected that his name would be held in special veneration. Hut far beyond the borders of educational effort for the Negro and the Indian, wherever the newest questions in education are being asked and answered and the problems involved in the relations of the black and white races are being studied, the figure of this great Patriot looms larger with the fleeting years. At Hampton recently a remarkably life-like bust of the General, sculptured by Mrs. E. Cadwalader Guild, was unveiled. A cut of this bust appears on our front cover. The Civic Federation is considering the question of instituting a movement to secure a replica of this inspiring work of art foi Honolulu. The place par excellence for it would be the grounds of Oahu College, where Armstrong's early educa1). S. tion was begun. LEPER CHRISTMAS BOX. It has come around again, the season of giving. Xo one really begrudges the little time we give to it for "Late and soon in getting and in spending we lay waste our powers"— And we have plenty out of which to give. As to the Board's Christmas Box to the lepers there is little new to be said. The old thing that needs emphasis is that we think we know the situation up in Kalaupapa well enough to do our own buying for this box. We have the confidence—we trust it is well founded- that we can buy things which will please and serve a purpose at the same time. No, no, not merely utilitarian are we: we know the use of toys, candies, gim-cracks and just pretty things: and such always get into our box. There needs to be added only that we have expert lady buyers. Fairness requires too that we admit that we have a balance left over from last year and so will need only $75.00. The box must leave Tuesday. Dec. 18, so all gifts should be in by Saturday, Dec. 15. f. R. A CONCEPTION OF THE DIVINE TRINITY.

C. of another church of power we attend- sided gospel we do not often hear. He and the Absolute Sovereign of all being, governing in perfect Love and Righteousness. Hut in dealing with his complex finite creation, He has to project himself into innumerable finite functions, as He is continually doing in all worlds. One great class of these necessary functions is his necessary communing with the spiritual natures of his children, revealing to them and inspiring them by his personal impartations. In so doing he becomes a finite activity, specialized and localized upon each individual spirit. As such He is the HolySpirit, still God, and yet projected into countless finite activities. The other great and most complex class of indispensable Divine functions is where God projects himself into the sphere of the Material and sensible, as a Personal and Finite Activity. As such, He is "God the Son." As the Son, He created and maintains all worlds. (Colossians 1:16, 17.) Still more as the Son, God manifests himself in finite forms to His earthly children, first as the Jehovah of Israel, and finally as the Divine Son of God, who dwelt among men as Jesus of Nazareth, sharing men's low estate, yet potentially possessing Infinite being. All this seems to be the unquestionable doctrine of the New Testament. Of course it is open to innumerable logical objections, as must be all conceptions dealing with the infinite. But it seems to go as far as we are yet illuminated to conceive of the Divine Nature. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," is declared to be the Foundation Rock upon which the Church is built; and the Apostles were commanded to "disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. So far have we light upon the infinite Mystery of God as related to Finite Man and finite Matter. S. E.

( )ne day this summer I called on old "Incle Aleck" ami found him stretched upon his bed quite helpless and feeble. He said he was (>7 years old and had been "a go-id Republican all his life." thus summing up his virtues very tersely. I asked him if he fought in the War. "No," said he, "I was too old to light then." This certainly sounded strange to mv ears—"too old to fight" and the wai has been over more than forty years. Some of the expressions of the people seemed peculiar at first but now I am accustomed to them. "I reckon you are stout?" means "I guess you are well?" I asked a boy at a hall game last Saturday if he wanted a piece of the water-melon I was cutting up. "1 don't care." was his reply. That meant that he wanted the piece of melon. "Candle-light" means early dark. Any time after noon is called "evening." A woman I called upon the other day said I was Stout-looking and looked "red and fresh." They have many original expressions. Their method of washing clothes is called "battling with the clothes." A woman saw the national flag for the first time a few years ago and was much surprised that there were only three colors in it. The houses of the people used to be made entirely of logs, but lately they have built of boards. Some of the homes are well-kept and cleanly and paint has been used inside and out, but many of the people are poor and have small and filthy houses. Pigs roam about in the yards, chickens frequently wander through the rooms. The cooking is not what it could be and there is a great opportunity for domestic science to be taught. Like everywhere else in the South hot-bread is a favorite article of food. That and honey make a good combination, much to be preferred to some of the greasy and soggy foods set before the hungry but unwilling visitor. I have travelled almost seven hundred miles on horseback in my pastoral work and it is delightful to ride about on the mountain roads and find out where people live and call on them, trying to get acquainted with them, to 9 bring them comfort and cheer and to iag for our fellow Christians and workinvite them to the services. \\t every ers in the "Paradise of the Pacific." place I am warmly received, though HENRY PRATT absolutely unknown to JUDD. any at first.

A great help to my work has been the baseball games. The Mountaineers have taken a great deal of interest this summer in baseball and there are several teams. I attend all the games I possibly can and play with the Allanstand team. Men are easily approached when playing baseball and I have splendid chances for talking to the men while we are waiting to have our turn at the bat.

The reorganized association is less than six months old. Now that we are affiliated with the International Sunday School organization, it is but natural that we want to see our Island Sunday Schools progressing in every legitimate way. The great danger is that we be content with a mere organization, and expect that to do the work without any effort on our part. Already our Islands have too many letter head organizations. We can not afford to join their ranks. We need offer no apology for the work in which we are engaged. It is not only Chris T tian work, but it is the most hopeful of all the varied forms of service in the Master's Kingdom. Therefore time and thought spent in Sunday School work is not only well spent, but best spent. Hut no ordinary service will avail for much in the Sunday School. It must be the most earnest, thoughtful and enthusiastic work possible. Think of the tremendous odds to be Overcome in the individual schools. Half hearted officers, irregular teachers, unresponsive pupils all combine to make the successful Sunday School of today a herculean task. If this is true of the individual school which has the thoughtful support of denominational workers, what shall we say of the great mass of one hundred and more schools scattered over the Islands, when viewed as a composite whole? The Sunday School Association of Hawaii is established for the welfare of every school of every denomination. There can be no selfish interest here. Our corresponding secretaries have been appointed for work among the different nationalities. Our departmental secretaries have been gjven separate departments to plan for and to bring workable suggestions into our executive committee meeting. The corresponding secretaries will then project these suggestions into the schools with which they are vitally interested. It all �THE FRIEND sounds easy enough, but it means a greater devotion and a more careful planning of details than it has yet received. ()f course we can have the old regime without any effort at all, if that is satisfactory. But just now we are looking for hungry men and women— men and women who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. We need more Cassiuses. of whom C;esar said: "Let me have men about me that are fat: Sleek headed men and such as sleep o' nights ; Yond' Cassias has a lean and hungry look ; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous." Therefore our Association would invite any suggestions whatsoever, from any source. The executive committee meets once a month. We want something more to do than to plan for the annual convention in May. This, to be sure, is the crux of the year's work, but •t is not the whole thing. The object of the annual Sunday School collection to be received Novem- ber 25th from every Sunday School in the Islands, does not seem to be thoroughly understood. Heretofore the Hawaiian Sunday Schools have been taxed $2.00 per school to pay for the entertainment given the visiting delegates to the annual convention. This year the first $2.00 in every Hawaiian Sunday School collection will go for the same purpose. All over this amount from the Hawaiian schools and the entire sum from all other schools, who do not entertain their delegates, will go towards the work of the Sunday School Association of Hawaii. "What is this work?" has been asked. There are some running expenses which must be met monthly by the executive committee —writing material, postage and general literature on Sunday School work must be bought and distributed. But these items of expense are small. Someday in the not far future, we hope to have a trained Sunday School worker giving a large part of, or his whole time to the development of the Sunday Schools of the Islands. We think a part of such a man's salary could be found on the mainland. But if it were necessary for us to supplement it here, it will be well for us to be ready to do so. Then again we arc in correspondence with Mr. Marion Lawranee, the general secretary of the International Sunday School Association, and the greatest Sunday School expert living today, in regard to his being present with us next May in Ho- nohilu at our annual convention. Mr. Lawrance may be compelled to be pres-nt at the World's convention in Koine If possible he is veryat that time. anxious to be with us. He has suggested the name of Rev. W. C. Merritt, of Tacoma, Washington, the secretary Of the Sunday Schools of the Northwest. Mr. Merritt is highly recoinmended by all who have heard him and he also knows Island conditions, as he was President of < )ahu College for eight years. He is now giving all of his time to the Sunday School movement and is an expert on this subject. Now if we could have either one of these men with us, we would be very fortunate. To get such a man we ought to pay at least half of his expenses, 'the annual collections of our Island Sunday Schools could go to no better purpose. Remember the date for the collection, November 25th in every Sunday School, and send the money at once to (i. P.

Many of us are agreed that for the with all present, the L'niform their short comings are the best thing for the great majority of our Island schools. Apropos of this subject, the Central Union Bible School has adopted an advanced course of study for its Young Men's and Young Ladies' Bible Classes. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Super, the new Y. M. C. A. secretary and his wife, are the teachers of these two classes. The course of study will be Prof. Hosworth's "Life of Christ." This book has been widely and very acceptably studied in Y. M. C. A.'s and in Bible Classes throughout the mainland. With the openiag of the new school year, new life and vigor have come into Central Union Sunday School.

The Christian Endesvorers have settled into a steady, earnest society, and give evidence of encouraging growth individually ami collectively. A change has just been made in the superintcndencv of the Sabbath School. Miss Caroline Potter, who for over a year and a half has given so freely of her time and thought to this work, is no longer able to do so. The Sabbath School loses an efficient worker ami will long remember her efforts here and never lose their imprint. Mr. Clark, a teacher in the Hilo High School, has consented to put his shoulder to the wheel and has already entered upon his duties as superintendent. Though Mr. Clark has been with us at Hilo for a comparatively short tune, he has been recognized by all as a man who is not ashamed to work for the Master, but who rather counts it honor to be in the vanguard of His army. The Sabbath School therefore looks forward to a season of growth and uplift under his direction. C. M. !•'.. THE FRIEND. It was also recommended in addition that the members of the Association, in their own local districts, should interview the candidates and secure an expression of intention in regard to this important question, which statement should be publicly proclaimed in the Churches in advance of election. There was some vigorous dissent from the platform of the League, on the ground that it was licensing and therefore recognizing, and participating in a nefarious anil criminal business, but the general feeling was that whatever could be done in the way of reducing or limiting the evil ought certainly to be done. Another matter which elicited considerable interest was that of "The Children of the Association." It has been customary to have R number of these "children" under the charge of the Association being trained and educated inestimably for the Ministry. These "Children" of whom there were eight or ten and who in point of fact were some of them aged men, were some of them notoriously unlit for the position. A committee was appointed to inquire into their standing. It was found that no one of them had now, or ever had had, or were likely to have, the ministry in view. In view of this condition of things the committee rec- a committee was appointed to confer and cooperate with the churches in regard to keeping up the standards and quality of the Deacons; a committee to assist in the organization of a Chinese Church at Waimea; a committee to arrange the relations of the Waimea and Hanapcpc Churches; a ministers' widows fund was established for the island; the Chinese worker at Waimea, Mr. Yee Kue, was examined and licensed to preach for a year, etc. Altogether it was an interesting and profitable session. The Kauai Ministers' School met at l.ihue under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgatc Oct. 2n. The time was given mainly to tin- careful study of the Sunday School lessons for November, and sermon outline criticism, Services have been resumed at I'.leele—they have been more or less interrupted during the summer because of many absences.

The following is from a recent letR. \Y. Andrews, by Rev. Frank Thompson, Seamen's Chaplain at Valparaiso, Chile, formerly well known and appreciated as pastor of the Hilo Foreign Church, and also in Honolulu, where he preached to the Bethel and Fort Street Churches. Mr. Thompson while a youth learned the art of steel plate engraving in NewYork city; after two years of that work, the doctor ordered a cessation of it on account of his eyes, and recommended a sea voyage. So he shipped before the mast on a whaler, and sailed, either then or later, under the well known Capl. Tom Spencer, who, many years after, in Hilo, would sometimes attend chinch to hear bis "boy" preach. Mr. Thompson's further education was at Williams College and a Theological Seminary; then, commissioned by the Seamen's Friend Society, he came to Hilo, and there lived, 1870-1874. His two daughters were born there, heeling the need of library help in his studies, he removed to Connecticut, and was successively pastor over two parishes, 1875-1883. He was again sent out by the A. S. F. Society, in 1884, to Valparaiso, and there he has staid and labored till now, though he admits that in some matters by which civilization is gauged, that country is 500 years behind Hawaii: Valparaiso, Chile, S.

The official reports put the list-of killed at twentylive hundred: the actual number will never be known, as many were crushed in the ruins and afterwards burned up. The injured are about eighteen thousand, and seventy to eighty thousand people are without homes, living in tents, shells or camps in the open places or on the hillsides. One-half of the city is wiped out; all the churches are either already down or will have to be taken down. The line public buildings are all in ruins. The water pipes, gas pipes and sewers are broken up; the railroads to and from the city are all disabled by landslides, broken bridges and caved-in tunnels. The cemeteries with their tombs, graves and monuments arc all burst up ; the remains of the dead were scattered about; hundreds of bodies have been gathered up and re-interred. All this happened in three or four minutes. The city was in total darkness save in the first instance the terrible lightning and electric lights in the heavens, which illuminated everything with a painful brilliancy, ami afterwards the glow of the burning ruins gave light enough for four days and nights. My first thought was that the day of judgment has come. My family all are safe and uninjured. M\ oldest daughter, Carrie, with her husband, have been in Scotland for a year, and were well out of this trouble. Our second daughter, Dora, babe and husband escaped all personal harm, as Mrs. Thompson and myself did. Kindly remember me to all old friends. * * * Yours faithfully, FRANK THOMPSON. KONA HAPPENINGS. Since the last letter to the "Friend" the Japanese have held two dedications near us, one of a combination Buddhist temple ami school and one of an independent school. The Buddhist priest, my next-door neighbor, courteously showed me over his building, when I called, with its school-room and shrine containing a picture of Buddha and other paraphernalia. The independent school was organized in a cottage, but on November 3, the Japanese Kmperor's birthday, with a few other white people, we were invited to the dedication of a good new building. At this dedication a number of brief addresses were given, among them one by our new evangelist. Mr. Okamura. It was explained to us that although most of those present were Buddhists, yet they believed that education should be independent of religion and the teacher and scholars might believe anything they saw lit. The teacher appeared progressive, playing the organ for singing and conducting affairs in a dignified manner. We remained for lunch, and enjoyed our reception. There are now three of these independent schools against one Buddhist school and three temples. The pupils in the Buddhist school only equal in number those in its neighboring independent school. The northern Japanese school-house has just been granted us for Christian 13 services on Sunday in Fnglish, and one of our best young men will open Sunday School at once. This building is near a government school building with eighty pupils, but several miles from any church. We appreciate this courtesy from the Japanese very much, and are hopeful of the new work here among this people. Mr. Okamura is entering into his work with an excellent spirit, calling widely and holding services for a dozen "listeners." Our Holualoa parsonage has been rented for a time to the resuscitated plantation. A small private school is now in session forenoons in our social ball, which we hope may enlarge into greater things in the future. President Home of the Kamehameha Schools encouraged us by his presence and an address at church the last of October, in the course of his calls around Hawaii upon those interested in Kamehameha. At the Kona Orphanage a new school building and cottage add much to the efficiency of this useful institution, and under Rev. Mr. Pier matters seem to be running very smoothly. Our last "Workers' Conference" only brought sixteen together, but these represented five pure nationalities, and we had an enthusiastic and interesting day. with no interpreting necessary. roar have joined Central Kona Church on confession and three by letter at the last two communions.

Few men of equal fitness for the task he has essayed in this volume could be found in the United States. He has made a notable book for wide reading. The treatment of the theme is designed to be not exhaustive but suggestive. Its purpose is to introduce to the everyday reader in the West the spirit which animates the man of the East. It is a timely book and should be read by every up-to-date American, especially by those who cherish sentiments of antipathy of Asiatics. The ordinary American density- of ignorance concerning Asia is colossal. If it were not, our Nation never could continue to treat the people of the Far East as she does. The chief value of this book is its freedom from argument. It is not polemical. It is brimful of facts. Its purpose is to let the light shine and this end is realized as far as this is possible of accomplishment in a volume of 308 large type pages. The ground which it covers embraces India, China and Japan. While the work is well done in the case of each section, naturally that which deals with Japan is easily the best. Kipling's fine lines serve as the animating theme of the entire work: "Oh East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat. But there is neither East, nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth." It is a good healthy book, true and informing. We commend it especially to readers in Hawaii and on the Pacific Coast. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York City.) "The Hope of Immortality," by Rev. C. F. Dole.

This of itself has been cause for wonderment, but that the entire set should be offered to the public at the ama2ingly low price of $42.00 for the set, marks the undertaking as the wonder in this day of wonders in the realm of book publishing. Imagine its price four times what it is, put it to the severest encyclopaedia tests you know, either as to comprehensiveness, accuracy, reliability, newness, clearness and charm of expression, profusion and character of illustration, character of paper, binding—examine it from every standpoint and you will finding nothing lacking. We might write pages about its 60,000 subjects, its 7,500 three-column pages, its 6.000 illustrations, the color plates, the full-page plates, the perfect cross-reference system and the many other advantages.
