During the recent visit of Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte in Honolulu, the story of Nauru was told by the former in Central Union Church, which some two years ago guaranteed the support of these missionaries on the occasion of the Nauru Mission being taken over by the American Hoard.

The ground Boor of the building has been pressed into service and is stocked with a very attractive collection of religious books, hesides a goodly array of general literature. Christmas is in tlic air and a very lively patronape has already been developed. People are finding out that the Hoard has exactly what they need in so many lines that the Rooms are being incrcasinßlv resorted to for convenience of meetitiß. They arc been'nning to wear the appearance and to achieve the reputation of a general religious headquarters. All of this is very and effieratifviiiß to our busy Treasurer cient Manaßcr.

The Manchuria of November I brought Miss Margaret Ellen Eoltz to complete the working force of Wailuku Settlement. Miss Eoltz has to her'credit two years in Hamlin University, St. Paul, one year in Marquette, Michigan, Normal School, and one year in the Seattle Kindergarten Training School, the diploma of which she holds. She has taught one year in the Seattle Presbyterian Church Kindergarten and one year in the public school of Woolley, Wasliinptoii. She comes to Alexander House full of eagerness for the work in that busy center. Names to Remember. This community is not likely to forget that Supervisors Archer, Cox, Dwight and Kealoha voted to place in a responsible office Mr. Brown who was rejected last year at the polls after a strenuous contest. His conduct of that office is lx'ing closely watched. If the record achieved be honorable, due public credit will be given. If the intimation made in the daily press be borne out that cases are being nolle prossed which should he prosecuted, the facts must come to light and the voters will know whom to hold responsible. Chairman Hustace of the Board of Supervisors, is proving himself faithful to his trust and a public servant worthy of popular confidence. Heartier cooperation on his part with the police department under the public-spirited leadership of Colonel laukea would have placed his record well above criticism. Meantime it should be added that no better document for the training of citizens has appeared in our daily press than the recent interview of Chief of Police laukea in the Advertiser of November 16th. It should be translated' into the Hawaiian language, together with the endorsement of Kamehameha Ill's great saying: "The Rood man is my man," and sent to every Hawaiian voter in the Islands. William Kent. The visit to Honolulu of this well known municipal reform leader wdio believes in "getting down in the mud under the automobile" in political campaigns for civic righteousness, was all too short. He was heard only twice in public, once at Central Union Church under the auspices of the Civic Federation, and again before the Civic Committee of the College Club. Those who had the good fortune to hear him will not soon forget the impression made by coming into touch with a man who has fought his way through a great historic campaign to one of the most notable victories our nation has known. Much is to be learned by good THE FRIEND. citizens in Honolulu from this experienced fighter. The very first principle of successful battling for honest city government as laid down by Mr. Kent is independent voting. I lis dramatic scoring of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for interference in the Cleveland mayoralty contest, conditioned upon the truth of their reported interference, was the most dramatic incident in Mr. Kent's addresses. The strong insistence laid by him upon the necessity for good men playing politics for all it is worth, so long as it be clean politics for the public weal, is the kind of message needed in this city. It is worth while living in an age that is producing such leaders as William Kent who, tho' having great wealth, do not give themselves to leisure but throw all their energies into conflicts whose end is the safcßttarding of the people's rights. Mr. Kent had much to say about communal property. It will not be long before the property of the people in mines, forests, public franchises anil increment in value due to movements of population will he restored to its owners the world over without any suspicion of socialism. In fact, it is becoming quite clear that such restoration of ownership is entirely distinct from this form of political philosophy. It will, however, always be the boast of socialists that the holders of their theories were the first to popularize these truths which slowly but surely arc winning their way. Mr. Kent's address in Central Union Church dwelling on these points and makiiiß them clear was both timely and helpful. We hope he will visit Honolulu again and Rive us more of his experience D. S. MAN'S SUDDEN EVOLUTION A MIRACLE. Genesis tells us that God created Man in His own Image near the close of the Sixth Creative Period or "Day." That is known in Geology as the "Tertiary Period," covering especially the appearance of Mammalia. Evolutionary Science coincides with Geology and Genesis in placing Man at the close of Creation, telling us also the line of his descent from pre-existing animals. Both Biology and Embryology distinctly reveal the indubitable fact that Man is directly descended from the Arboreal Apes, animals most remotely distinguished from Man in habits and capacities. Hut herein is a wonderful Miracle. While possessing many remarkable features of unmistakable identity with these tree-leaping ancestors, Man exhibits an extraordinary difference and superiority, both in kind and dcßrcc of faculty. With marked traces of Pithecoid nature, He is that beast transformed into a creature Kingly, even Divine. The crouching quadruman has become the erect Iliman. the Homo Erectus and Sapiens. The low and' narrow brow has expanded into a Royal Dome of Thought. The bestial feature, the feeble chin have Rrown into the human beauty of type. The dumb or chattcriiiß Ape has become Man of multiplex speech. The unreasoniiiß, unteachable brute becomes inventive, proprcssive, kingly Man. Put this enormous change in aspect, in quality, in capacity, was attained by a single leap, and not by any slow lapse of time in Rradual changes, such as Natural, unaided Evolution requires. Herein is the marvellous Miracle, disclosing the Creator's direct interposition. Natural processes of Evolution by ordinary LEPER CHRISTMAS. agencies necessitate enormous periods of time to produce the required changes.

Judd. Accompanying it is a photo of the tomb of Henry Obookiah, who was so instrumental in the creation of the Sandwich Islands Mission. SERENO E. BISHOP. Honolulu, Nov. 22. 1907. Beckwith, I'hunasCo., Cal., Nov. 8, 1907. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, Honolulu, Hawaii. Dear Sir: ()n a perfect day in the autumn of iux>s when the canoe birches hung their yellow leaves over the placid waters of crystal lakes and the ripe pumpkins glowed through the rails of the farm fences, I chanced to walk from Lakeville through the foothills of the Rerkshires on a 15-mile jaunt to Cornwall. On reaching this little quaint Connecticut village I found that my friends, the Metcalfs, had left for New Haven the day before. A The Chinese work in Wailuku is hava Rood degree of prosperity. With the opening of the new year Mr. Tarn Wa Chang took charge of the Chinese school, The succeeding Mr. Ho Kwai Tak. school is prospering under his care, and has an enrollment of twenty-five. Thereis a good spirit, all working with earnest- ing ness. OF THE TOMB OF OBOOKIAH. WAILUKU ITEMS. Mr. Tani Wa Chang has an evening school in the Chinese language for the young men. The Sunday School and church services are well attended. There has been a beautiful spirit of Christian fellowship between the Chinese and Japanese churches, as its members have met together at the Communion services, and in a social way. The time has come to extend still more a spirit of helpfulness to our Japanese friends. Miss Turner is now devoting a portion of her time to the Japanese women, meeting with them in their homes for the study of English. Three evenings of each week are given at the Alexander House Settlement, being especially devoted to the study of English for the Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese. A number of Portuguese have recently arrived to work on the plantation, and are eager to learn English. i'he mornings are given to the Chinese women in their homes for the study of English. There are five interested in this. A Chinese merchant and his bride are giving two mornings of each week for this purpose. Regular visits are made in the homes of the various nationalities. The second and last Wednesday of each month, a meeting is held at the different homes of the Chinese, with Scripture lessons from the Picture Chart. The picture is left in the home as a reminder of the lesson, and also to bring something of cheer to the bare and unattractive OBOOKIAH search in the graveyard on the hillside failed to reveal to me the object of my expedition—the grave of the native boy Obookaiah, SO renowned' in the Christian history of the Islands, but cut off so suddenly in the prime of life in this foreign land. On my subsequent return to New Haven I had a good talk with Mrs. Metcalf, the wife of a prominent New Haven dentist, who was a Miss Boyd and is a distant cousin of my mother. The Metcalfs own and use as a summer residence the old mission school house at Cornwall, Conn. Of course, it has been remodeled since the time when our Obookaiah was there and received instruction in it.

The crux of the social problem is that the moral leadership is on the lookout for something easy, and two per cent, a month, rather than for what is right at any cost. It says, for instance, that men will get drunk. That is as false as it is silly. Men do what they are taiißht to 'lo and only what they arc taught to do. Men will not get drunk when sober, stroiiß, imlempted, kindly Christian citizens stop teaching them to do it, by the loose, base infidelity of that assumption, bad example, and the heartless, senseless laws thai sell the birth right of the children for a mess of dishonorable ease This country (leaned t and dirty revenue. muddy pool at best. The statement as unpatriotic as ii is p-icillauimnus. Politics will tend lo be as clear as mountain springs, when Christian men shall carry into it the same high ideals i hat govern their personal conduct in lla home and the ( hnrch. The Hat truth is that the sliding scale of virtue that has one standard for the prosperous and another for the poor; one standard for women and another for men: one standard for the home, another for the counting room and still another for the election and that has ham strung municipal government in America, is the ripe fruit of cowardice. < >nc hates to be eccentric.

The trouble with Sodom was inside of it. The Lots were complaisant because they were well bred, busy, selfcentered and prosperous, their children were marrying well and they really felt tli.it for the body politic to slough at its lower extremities was no serious matter to the head and shoulders. Then in time, their moral arteries hardened so that they bad to shirk hard duty in order to avoid excitement. Lot himself, the head of the family and set, fidl so into the habit of buying off calamity, that he won and still holds the record as the weakest, meanest compromiser in the world. When the commissioners of God came to his house and the mob gathered to insult them, or abuse them, he, a citizen of the covenant, a nephew of Abraham, the father of a family, the man of wealth and power, the host of divine messengers, instead of standing forth It says politics is man fashion and saying, "These are 7 angels from God, and my Riiests.

Sodom fought her alien enemies, but her internal Foes were only winked at, prayed at, preached at and permitted lo sound the key note of the city life. I am not railing at anybody, nor meddling with what is none of my business, I include myself in every stricture uttered or suggested here, and I admit fully and freely that there is no one remedy that will cure all of our social ills. Hut I dare to say that the sine qua nan of our municipal problem is that we do something to extract the snivel from (he voice of the "good" element, so that whin it speaks it will be respected. The way to do it :s evident and the means of doing it, close, ready, importunate for employment. The good man must go about and stand away for his high side in politics. The spasmodic uprisings that have characterized his efforts at bet ter government will not do. He must go in t<> stay and to win. The Chrislian voter is Ihe clutch by which the Church, the best and greatest of institutions, gears to die social machinery, lie must stop slipping on the shaft and hold, or break. This is a remarkably tit and needy community for testing out the suggestion. The heredity is magnificent. There is no environment. It is about to inaugurate a municipal government. At present the outlook favors a dynasty of beach-combers, in spite of the fact that, of the white residents, a very large majority are men of probity, influence and substance, and that the natives are very hospitable to high ideals and good examples, but more or less unstable and therefore in need of and entitled to a strong, steady upward pull of the good whites.

The history of this Territory is rich in illustrations of the good man in politics, and such illustrations are by no means absent now, but the heroism that conies out in a revolution is greatly out of proportion to the common, daily altruism of these peaceful times. The good man of large private affairs must turn his hand to public business. The idle rich man must sentence himself to hard labor for the common weal. The ten thousand dollar man must take office at two thousand. The grip of the beach-comber must be broken. And to that end there must he direct primaries, and the liquor traffic which is the breeding ground of pathogenic politics must he abolished. The blind pig is much less destructive than the p'g with good eyes. It is almost an affront in this presence to say so trite a thiiiß as this, that permanent party lines are a constant menace to pure democracy. Mr. Os- trogorski in his Rreat book on"The Rise of Political Parties," has shown this, with a clearness that amounts to demonstration, and such lines form the run way that will guide this electorate into the same quagmire where the mainland cities arc floundering. The green goods man of municipal politics always gets his vile output into currency with the stamp of party regularity. That mighty lever of public exploitation will be broken, when good men refuse to be herded and branded, but rather enter each campaign in new alignment as befits a growing intelligence and conscience under democratic forms. Safety and success are along the line of individual righteousness and independence; and untrammeled and unfoolcd and bravely led, the majority is always on the right side. The voice of the people is the voice of a vants despise the family. yiiu (2) A mud- dy headed citizenship that can be satistied and Stultified with sops, or jobs, or public works; (3) poisoning the wells of civic integrity by giving vice a posi- tion of legitimacy and respectability, (4) The abdication of the people to political parties that profit by the decay and death of public spirit, and scale political ideals down from the nobler to the baser levels. Bossisffl is a thought killer. Materialism is a patriotism killer. Legalized vice is a conscience killer. Partyism is a courage killer. For our futile and villainous police forces, for our weakling and darkling city councils, for the Platts and Crokers and Murphys and Hraytons and Durhama and Coxes and Ruefs and such, the good men of New York, Providence, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and San Erancisco are responsible. What the whole country needs above all is game good men. I have not exaggerated the difficulty nor the need, lint this paper would be very lop-sided if I failed to add in conclusion, a word of cheer for the face of the sky this evening. It is going to be nasty weather for politicians of the old regime, "hut the righteous shall hold on his way and the hands that are clean shall grow stronger and stronger." CENTRAL, UNION CHURCH HER NEW LEADER. AND 'Ihe most conspicuous miracle of the last aroused the faith and enlarged the vision of the Christian Church throughout century, which the world was the transformation of the Hawaiian Islands under the leadership of a noble hand of American Board missionaries.

A man horn of missionary parentage, graduated from Vale University, of ex- tended experience in missionary work in Japan, mil pastoral work in Ihe Stales, and for the pas| three anil a half years, as Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, coming into the closest personal and sympathetic relations with the people and churches of all the various nationalities represented in these Islands, his election to this position of leadership is hailed with delight from every quarter. The services woe held on the afternoon and evening "f Wednesday, Nov. 20th. The Council was composed of the churches of the various races connected with Oalui Association and in addition a few of the leading churches of the oilier Islands, together with a large number of ministers, a number of whom belong to sister denominations. Rev. W. IJ. W'cstervclt was chosen Moderator, and Rev. K. 15. Turner Scribe. Everyone present at the afternoon service held for the examination of the candidate must have been impressed with the lari'e and interested assemblage of men,—men of several nationalities, men of various denominations, busy men who in the busy time of the day had left office and store to assemble and raise their voices in unanimous approval of the choice of Dr. Scudder as the pastor of this church. �THE FRIEND Dr. Scudder was here called upon to present Council a statement of his religious faith aud experience, which he did in an address which was an inspiring presentation of his religious experience and conviclioiis anil in a spirit that commanded the reverent attention of all.

Forty-sue children arc now present against 05 perhaps a year ago. A regular church of the Christian denomination has lapsed, the chapel being now called limply "a mission." A recent call upon the founder and manager of the institution made me .sorrowful lor the outlook of the orphanage feature, since no new children arc being sought in spite of the recent new equipment and government aid. The "mission" is to the lore, with four women and one man, who claim to live without visible means of support, even as they dispense with the services of physicians. Divine healing, it is claimed, needs no action on our part, although a physician is called for the children under certain conditions because of the "say of the world." I was assured that the orphans were given school and other necessary instruction, but inasmuch as it is said that there would be no regret if the orphans all found homes or were removed, we cannot help feeling that there is .something lacking. Those in charge of an orphanage should be enthusiastic for their work and set an example of sound reasoning, neatness, and high purpose. Much or all of the plant has been furnished by Miss Heard, but an orphanage is a semi-public institution, and as this one has sought public Support and is incorporated in this Territory, we are informed, it may be time for its directors or trustees to investigate that for which they have assumed responsibility.

I wish to disclaim any originality in the ideas or figures presented in this paper. Hut the fads are so important that we cannot afford to ignore them. A child reared in a careful home, with simple food, regular meals, regular hours of sleep. plenty of work and play in the open air, will naturally grow to be a healthy man or woman. Naturally, Ihe reverse is true. Poor food, meals at all hours, irregular sleep, idleness, poor air, will tend to lead to weak manhood and womanhood. Dr. Osier says that 12,000,000 people in our country have tuberculosis and that one in every twelve of these will die of the disease 1,000,000 people to die of one dread disease. Not only thai, but thousands of others will be infected from them. Who can estimate the value of a human life? Economists state that each life is worth $1,000 to the community. One million people represents nearly seven times Ihe population of the entire Hawaiian group, and this number of residents of the United States must die in this generation of tuberculosis alone. Of our population about one-fifth are in our schools. These young people have their full share of infection. We try to develop their minds, we give some attention to their physical development, and we ought to do all that can he done for their hygienic development. A small beginning has been made. Some few schools have classes, more or less desultory, in ••first aid to the injured," text-book physiology, but very little real serious work is done. It is of the greatest importance to have our young people protected against avoidable injuries, against diseases that can he stemmed, against infection, against mental and physical suffering 100 often caused simply by ignorance of the bodily condition. — The services of a physician as such have recenty been utilized in education. Sweden took the lead in 1832. Medical inspection was not introduced in this country till much later. Boston led, I think, in 1890, Philadelphia in 1892, Chicago in 1806, and New York in 1897. In the State of Massachusetts only 14 cities outside of Boston have as yet introduced the system of medical inspection. (This was true No a year ago. I have no later statistics.) other state has done more than Massachusetts. Medical inspection of schools should follow at least five main lines: 1. The examination of all pupils for infectious and contagious diseases. 2. The examination of all pupils for impaired eyesight, defective hearing, skin eruptions, and for venereal diseases. 3. The examination of the sanitary and hygenic condition of all school buildings, inonly side and out, equipment, the grounds, sewer- age system, and ihe water system. 4. A close inspection of the homes from which the pupils come—the better lo determine the influences of environment upon the pupil. 5. The employing of school nurses to treat minor ailments and to watch all who are or should be under special treatment. Many of the worst diseases arc spread through the mediums of the school, in the close association necessary. We have a healthy fear of scarlet fever, smallpox, and diphtheria, and pay some regard to measles. Hut very little attention is paid, as a rule, to mumps, whooping cough, syphilis and kindred diseases, lonsilitis, tuberculosis, head lice, ring worm, itch and the like. Much of the danger of contagion from these diseases could be avoided if proper medical inspection was given. The eyesight and hearing of many pupils are affected from very slight causes which proper medical would easily cure, neglected the child becomes abnormal and often incurably diseased. The teachers can do something, but not having special medical training themselves treatment and lacking the authority to examine, the real burden cannot be laid on them. At the best they but cooperate. And this I believe all will most willing to do. The cost of medical inspection would be be found The committee makes six definite recommend- ation: i. A thorough physical examination of every child ill every school in the United States. The attention of the family physician and i. parent! called to the defects found, A careful "follow up" canvass, and negliparents forced lo give their children proper medical attention. 4. Reexamination at stated intervals, all children applying for such certificates 10 receive a physical examination. 5. Health and tenement laws enforced, hours of labor restricted, dangerous trade, regulated, and ihe abuse of women and children prevented. 6. The course of study in public schools should not product nor aggravate physical defects, and a good system of hygiene should be impressed upon every child ill school. 1he committee declare that medical examination is cheaper than the schooling of a child who takes two years to do the work of one year. Free medical and free dental treatment should be given all school children. 3. gent PERLEV 1.. IIOKN'T. con- SOME PRESENT CONDITIONS IN siderable.

( Mhervvise the gift itself is probably of little real value—just measured by a dollars and cents standard, as dead as so much metal, that passes over the counter. Now we don't supply all the thought. We are limply agents for thoughtful publishers, whose thought shows up in prettily dressed books, quaint ideas and conceptions, helpful things for children, real mental food for grown-up people,— intellectually grown-up. The man of the family wants something of this lasl kind.

Just how we can help out if its a question of the lady of the house, is an- other matter,—not so difficult, perhaps, as she may not be so hard to please. "She has babies." Illess her! Did she ever see "Baby's Journal," with a record for first tooth, first words,—or alleged words? Pirst step, etc. That's fun and psychology and maternal pride all delightfully blended. How is "Cooking for Two?" It suggests two stages of the lady's life, before she had any babies and after they have gotten their wings and flown out of the home nest. If she likes novels, we have some of the best, —not "all of the latest novels,"— from which claim we respectfully pray to be exculpated. We can suit her in a number of ways, unless perchance she happen to be a devotee of bridge whist, in which case we will have to please her through her children. "What! a set of Encyclopedias for the children ?" Aye, and one they can read and from which they can get some information when their teachers ask for a composition, —an essay, if you like,—on —on everything under the sun. The price of Encyclopedias used to be prohibitive. Not so with Nelson's. Come and sec how little you need to pay for as complete a set as one could wish. As to stories. There arc Bible stories (that is our specialty, of course), and good ones are in demand,—as well as other good Sunday reading. The Children's Handy Library, Golden Hour Scries, Sunshine Library are all good, but none quite so good perhaps as The Young People's Pavoritc Authors, a set of \2 books. There is no "trash" in the above, but much really informational material mingled with folk and nature lore. Helpful books to Christians with the real CHRIISTinas-tide thought in them, —such ought to be found here. They are here. Missionary biographies and travels, too. Dennis' Christian Missions is a mine of information in attractive form. Two fine maps of China are the latest contribution of a missionary character to this sort of literature, with names of mission stations and all in beautiful colors. This is not a tithe. For the Home in general it might be said with truth that "no home should he without" a good bible for every person in it. These cheap bibles with ruinous print!

Hawaii is yearly increasing its indebtedness to the American Missionary Association and through it to the Churches of the Mainland for their most generous aid. The Friend is very glad to voice the thanks of all the good people of the Territory, both to our i vcr-sea sister Churches and to the American Missionary Association. A Blow In The Face. During the past summer tourists traveling eastward from Japan via I lawaii to San Francisco have met a strange reception at the steamship office in Yokohama when pressing their desire to stop over at Honolulu. "We can guarantee no accommodations if you stop over. You are likely to be an old man before you get away from Hawaii." There is good authority for the statement that scores of travelers who had included these Islands in their itineraries abandoned their intention upon this information. We personally know of not a few who were thus turned away. And this during summer when tourist travel from the mainland is apt to be slack. If every person desiring to remain over one steamer during the months of June, July and August had been encouraged to do so by the through lines and if these lines had arranged to give accommodation first to stop-overs and second to other travelers, two results would have been secured, hirst the absolute inadequacy of the through lines to meet the actual demands of travel between the mainland and Hawaii would have been made so much clearer that the day of two fast local boats of the size say of the Korea or China would have been materially hastened. Second the stop-over habit on the part of the ever enlarging round the world trade from east to west and on the part of travelers from Asia would have been vastly encouraged. One Great Objective. The time has come for Hawaii to plan for two elements in this latter class, first the missionaries, and second wealthy, world seeing Asiatics. It would be good business for some far sighted friends of better things to found a rest house upon the heights about Honolulu, where at reasonable rates tired missionaries might recuperate before poing to the mainland for the strenuous work demanded nowadays of those returning from their fields of labor. The largest steamship lines have found it a paying policy to cultivate the friendship of the great missionary societies. The business is a good one from every point of view. \\ ith a little elTort a fair proportion of missionaries could be induced to make a stay of several months here for complete The Pacific world has one center, Hawaii. I.it us plan to reenforce Nature by en- rest. center. Missionaries have been suggested above. couraging the development of this have influential friends and are apt to tell out their impressions of a place like Honolulu where it will do most good. As a men: advertisement the scheme would pay. lint there are far higher values. Tin plan if well carried out, including the serious presentation of its timeliness and importance to the Executive Committees of the great societies so as to enlist their interest in having their missionaries rest here, would bring hither men and women who would contribute to the higher life and culture of our people more than can easily be calculated. Hawaii would naturally become the moral and religious center of the Pacific world. In time it would be possible to organize periodical conferences on great themes affecting the highest interests of the nations bord.Tii g this ocean that would help mould public opinion the earth over. We can do it it we 'All. What do our Christian capitalists say? The scheme involves no vast outlay. Secure a tract of land convenient to the city whose very site spells Rest, erect a few modest cottages thereon with a central dining hall under proper management and then trytor the missionaries. In a few years every one of the thousands who nowcross the Pacific annually en route to and from the great mission fields of Asia would want to plan for a shorter or longer stop at Honolulu. What of the Rest of Us. \\ c who live here and those who come to us from the Mainland expecting to go no farther west must face the inevitable —the through lines are to be no longer our dependence. We must have facilities of our own. One steamer will not answer because the freight dependence of such a steamer, tropical fruit, especially bananas, demands at least a bi-weekly if not weekly service. But one steamer at first of size sufficient to win the sea-timid to attempt the journey would make a good beginning. If within the short memory of even young people the West Indies banana trade lias sprung from comparatively nothing to a vast commerce demanding consolidated lines of steamers capitalized at $100,-000.000. fostering also a vast tourist traffic towards points not central in any great through mundane line of travel, Hawaii ought tube able to make a bi-weekly first class steamer sen -ice pay on a freight basis of tropic products. We who live here and all who come to Hawaii as a terminal point from the Mainland would then be amply provided for. The well known missionary motto may without irreverence be adapted to this Mid-Sea Paradise. Expect great tilings and attempt gteai things far Hawaii- Asiatic World Trotters. .Asia as well as America has its men of wealth. They are beginning to feel the sting of the travel bee. Careful students of traffic problems are being more and more impressed with the steadily increasing number of Chinese. Japanese, Hindus, Persians and other Asiatics who wanting to see the world are registering their names upon the first class passenger lists of transAtlantic and trans-Pacific steamers. I lawaii wants them to stop over Here is work for the Promotion Committee. If that committee can persuade the through lines to give stop-over passengers the preference and will then enter the advertising field by getting good literature on Hawaii attractively printed in the various Asiatic languages into the hands of people of wealth and education, these Islands will before long become a favorite rendezvous for these classes. It goes without saying that such visitors will add to the ptcturesquesness and interest of such conferences and conventions as Fishmarket Future. The Niagara question faces Hawaii. hat question is beauty versus pracItical utility. The nation settled it hi favor of beauty though it made certain concessions to practical utility, h decreed that where the ends of practical Utility could be secured without any sacrifice of beauty. those ends might be favored by public permission. The ground for this solution of the question was the higher utility of The battle was bitterly beauty. fought by great corporate wealth on one hand and by lovers of the ideal on the other. The party of ideals won. Let it be so in Honolulu. Mr. Robinson's scheme of a welcome park on the site of the fishmarket Is one of those ideal dreams of beauty which now and then in history God makes possible to a muncipality. There is no other location for such a unique symbolic manifestation of Hawaii's most distinguishing characteristic—hospitality. A coal depot may be placed elsewhere. The park must go there or nowhere. To �THE FRIEND one- entering the harbor now that the new wharf is nearly completed, the plan of Mr. Robinson seems little less than an inspiration. As a mere business asset i. will mean more to the Territory than its cost a hundred fold. The li 1jie has come when it is clear that the white laborer is not the man we are likely to attract hither, but home builders, who wish to spend their days of ripened endeavor in a perfect climate after the chief Struggle to get a livin,!> is over, will and must seek Hawaii in ever larger numbers. Such people arc profoundly impressed by appeals of beauty. To such it is the part of wisdom that Honolulu should cater. A few months ago one of the leading financiers of America, who had been San Francisco's staunchest friend since the earthquake fire, expressed his keen disappointment because civic spirit had so died out in the city that few of the splendid improvements made possible by the calamity, were being planned. We have natural advantages which enable us to make Honolulu the most beautiful city on earth. Let us not sacrifice them. Our location renders our future as a commercial center sure. ( )ne coal yard cannot imperil it Let Honolulu determine 10 put the Robinson scheme through in all its details and begin with the lishmarket at once. The Federal building was suffered to seek an inferior position but that is not a vit;d loss. ( >ther public buildings will cluster about Government Park and the loss will he chiefly that of the Nation in its failure to secure a commanding site for its organized activities here. But the sacrifice of the fishmarket would be vital and irrevocable. Changes. Following close upon the departure of Rev. 1!. Y. Bazata from I'aia where Rev. K. P>. Turner was quickly installed as successor, the news comes of the resignation of ReV. X- A. Buchanan of Kohala. Mr. Buchanan has done good solid work for three years and will be missed throughout the entire Kohala district. He has been especially faithful in furthering the interests of Hawaiian. Chinese and Japanese Churches in his neighborhood and has conducted a successful Ministers' Institute ever since he came lo the Islands. The resignation will take effect in February. Mrs. Buchanan lias been a tower of strength in Kohala Seminary and will leave a large place to he filled by her successor in the manse. Rev. John h". Dodge completed his service at Kahului, Maui, on October 31. He has achieved a 5 notable work and all who know him inducements and settle permanently in regret exceedingly that questions of the Territory is uncertain. health and home rendered it impossiThe second method is to solicit ble for him to remain longer. Rev. Albert Krdman, 1). D., will supply Kahului statedly until a permanent pastor be secured. Meantime the appointment of .Mr. Robert Law as principal in Lahaina takes thither a most active laborer who is untiring in his efforts to do good, Raldwin I louse finds in him a most helpful friend. With the coming of Messrs. Shimamura for I'aauhau, Kikuchi for Puuneue, Shimamori for Honolulu Christian Club, Ito for Malaweli and Takahashi for Kauai the Hawaiian Roard now occupies all but three or four of its Japanese centers throughout the group. Only the dearth of money keeps it from manning the remaining fields. Its policy of aiding Mr. Kozuki's Training School in Tokyo has furnished it all the evangelists and teachers it can support. If any large minded friend desires to help pay the debt which Hawaii owes to this school for the men it iias sent here, a gift of $500 for a much needed' building would be most timely. Meantime we ought to find at least $10,000 more per annum for our regular work. ( hir Hawaiian Department reports the deposition from the ministry of James I'avis and William K.

Xuuliivva of lleeia. a pastor of great energy and many good works. ONE WAY TO AMERICANIZE HAWAII. Two procedures for carrying into effect President Roosevelt's famous dictum "Americanize Hawaii" have been devised. Roth of them arc sound. The first is to bring in American labor. Brilliant failure has attended every effort to realize this and it has petered out into the endeavor to domicile any sort of white labor that can he cajoled into coming. The latest importation* it is hoped will remain, though from time to time drafts are made upon our Island Portuguese. These and the Spaniards who have been introduced into Hawaii have proved a most useful and reliable addition to our population. Refore the term "American labor" can be applied to them, however, they must be thoroughly inoculated with the spirit of the Nation. How large the proportion will be of those who will resist mainland wage American farmers to come to Hawaii, take up land and devote themselves to the solution of the problem of diversified products. Thus far little or no success has attended this scheme. Soil, climate and possibilities for raising enormous supplies of tropical fruits are all here but the small mainland farmer prefers the certainty of large returns where he now is, to the risks of transportation and the difficulty of learning new agricultural tricks in Hawaii. There is a third perfectly feasible plan about the success of which there seems little doubt. This plan was pointed out recently to a resident of Hawaii on a visit east by a Mainlander of large experience in the movements of population throughout the States. This student of American life begun by laying down the proposition that the number of people in the \orthern States who have amassed sufficient wealth to enable them by middle life to desist from the strenuous chase after dollars is simply enormous. "Many of these," saiil he, "either are childless or have started their children in successful careers. They dislike exceedingly the rigors of the northern winter and are determined to seek a genial climate where they may live comfortably, have time for self culture and expand their chief energies in building up civic and religious institutions worthy of their best efforts. Southern California- is full of such people. They have made that part of the State a credit and glory to the Union so that with its ideals of good order, civic righteousness and sobriety it is coming to dominate the northern section. But Southern California is not like Hawaii an ideal climate and this class is constantly increasing in number so that there is alia, adv a large proportion looking for exactly what the Islands have to offer. If the question of adequate transportation were only settled you would find these people docking to Honolulu and Ililo in constantly greater numbers. They are the best people you can haw They will bring money enough to own their own homes and to live in modi-rate comfort. They will be sufficientIv impressed with Hawaii's fruit possibilities to develop them as a side issue and thus will attract others who will make this their business. Being people of ideals they will tone up your citizenship amazingly. If you Islanders would only press the question of first class steamer accommodations to a solution, your problem of American- �6 THE FRIEND izing Hawaii would soon be solved." These sentiments of a keen-eyed observer of American life deserve careful consideration. If as uuich alteuti in and money could be directed to seem ing adequate facilities for travel to and from the Mainland ;is have been given to the problem of bringing laborers here, there is reason to believe that the Territory would soon attract this class of hard working successful nieti and women who hold the theory that when a competence has been secured, the list of life should be devoted to higher things in a climate which makes smaller drain upon vital resources than lint of the Northern States. Let us get afler these people. With them to help the problem of Americanizing this Territory will soon be solved. I). S. RANGE LIGHTS BY JOHN G. WOOLEY. I am very sorry to learn that some uninformed, or ill-informed, or misinformed readers of these articles have jumped to the conclusion thai n:v faith in prohibition as the best legislative means of dealing with the liquor traffic had been shaken, or abandoned. Such a conclusion is unwarranted by any word that I have written ami exactly contrary to the fact, flu- superiority of prohibition over ail) system of regulation has been proved repeatedly. Rut a circular which I have just received from the Honorable Charles P.. I.ittlelield, member of Congress from Maine and chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Mouse of Representatives presents the case of his Slate as compared to that of MasSa chusetta so lucidly and thoroughly as to amount to a demonstration, or near it. Mr. I.ittlelield, as is well known, is a Republican party leader, quite above suspicion of variableness or shadow of scratching his ticket and as free as one of his own pine trees from the manners or methods of a fanatic. His attention was called to an article in a Boston paper in which ex Governor Garvin of Rhode Island disparag ed the Maine law as Compared to the license system in Massachusetts, saving that "if the prosperity of a community is rightly measured by it*- in crease of wealth and population, then Maine ranks as one of the least pros perous of all the States." Mr l.ittlcfiehl replied as follows: 'I think Maine can successfully stand the test laid down Inasmuch as Massachusetts has been referred to by way of comparison, and: as she is popularly understood to be at least a fair representative of i\e\ clop ment in the line of moral, social, and material welfare, thus giving an exact ing standard. 1 will confine nivself to that State for comparisons. All of the L.L.D. statistics to which I shall refer, unless otherwise specified, are from the United Slates census, when- they can be easily verified. They have the advantage of being disinterested, and of all being taken on the s line basis. The United States during the last decade increased in population 20.7 per cent.. Massachusetts 25.3 per cent., and mc 5 per cent, The percentage of increase in Massachusetts was a little less than in the preceding decade.

Mr. W'oolley lias wonderfully stirred the Hawaiian people in his few address and there is a big educational campaign under foot. There are leaders that are responding to a degree that would amaze any one not acquainted with the substratum of righteousness in the Hawaiian people. There is no question but a moral issue is safer in the hands of the Hawaiian electorate than it would be if left to the "haoles." The fact is the white people have generations of "it cannot be done" and "you cannot legislate the people into morality" back of them, besides that they are too much involved with the liquor interests from a purely dollars and cents point of view.

JAPANESE GOOD NATURE. As the traveler from the Occident reaches the Japan Bridge, Tokyo, said to be the central point of the Empire's busy activities, he will hear the bright looking conductor of the electric car cry out: "Xihon Hashi dc gozaimasu!" "VVasureru mono no nai yo ni!" "Here we are at the Japan Bridge I" "Be careful you don't leave anything behind !" So it is at every stopping place, �THE FRIEND 10 explicit directions, kindly care on the part of the official, and a polite regard for every passenger, the rich and the poorest alike. The pleasant laughing good nature, found at all times, even when a Westerner would be very much irritated, is a delightful characteristic of the Japanese people. For illustration, one day on Tokyo's busiest street ear, there were two women, evidently from the country, one had a baby with her, and one had a very large bundle, and also two children. They seemed to be in doubt as where to get off, and stopped the ear, but the conductor told them very kindly that they were not yet at the place they wanted. After a little, they felt sure of their destination, and so stopped the car again and with some difficulty, bundles and children were all safely landed on the street. Then they seemed in doubt again, and asked the conductor once more, he very patiently explained. Finding they were mistaken, he very good naturedly and laughingly helped them on again, bag and baggage. No one seemed irritated at the long delay. Other passengers were laughing and enjoying it all. I his is but a little example of the hearty good* nature found on every side. The Japanese certainly seem to be a very happy people. Every where you see the children playing and laughing- In all their hurry and bustle of a more modern life, they have not yet learned to worry and fuss over the loss of a few minutes. In the new life coming so fast to the Orient, may they take only what is best from the West, keeping all those pleasant qualities, which make many parts of the F.ast so interesting and fascinating.

The fishermen that I live among are my friends, and I love them as my brothers, and I do not think I am unnecessarily prejudiced or bigoted when I say that alcohol is inadvisable, after one has seen it robbing his best friends of strength, honor, reason, kindliness, love, money and even life. During twenty years' experience on the sea and on the snow in winter—and experience coming not on the top of the kind of life which would naturally fit one to meet these conditions, but rather after an upbringing in soft places—l have found that alcohol has been entirely unnecessary for myself. I have been doctoring sick men and women of every kind and I have found that I can use other drugs of which we know the exact action and which we can conlrol absolutely with greater accuracy in cases of necessity for stimulating the heart. I contend we can get just as good results without it, and I always fear its power to create a desire for itself. It is not necessary for happiness, for I have known no set of men happier and enjoying their lives more than the crews of my own vessel, and the many, many fishermen who, like ourselves, neither touch, taste nor handle it. I would be willing to allow that the manufacture of it gives employment, that the sale of it is remunerative, that a desire for it can be easily created. But the desire for it has to be "cultivated," and once cultivated the "market" is certain to open up—for the desire becomes an insatiable, uncontrollable lust in many. I have no contro- versy with anything that gives employand circulates money, and should possibly be satisfied if after all the good grain and good foodstuffs had been fermented and converted into thin particular kind of poison, instead of being poured down men's throats, it were poured into the ocean—where at least it would do no harmI have seen men robbed in many ways, but they have been able by the help of (md to wipe out any lasting results of such transient losses. But the robberies of alcohol are irremediable. I buried in a lonely grave on a projecting promontory, far down the coast of Labrador, a young girl of eighteen. ment She was some one's daughter and some one's sister. I had taken her aboard our little hospital ship for the last week of her life. She should have been alive today, but she had no desire to live. All that could possibly make life worth living for her had been robbed from her through the means of alcohol, and she could not face the home-going again. If I ever have the Opportunity given to me to say, a word at any time or in any place which could help to inhibit the use of alcohol as a beverage, so long as I can stand upon my feet I shall he proud to get up and speak it.— Pilgrim Teacher. MOTHER PARKER REMINISCENCES OF MOTHER the last, with her hopes and desires PARKER. "We are gathered here to note with love the passing of the last survivor of the earlier missionaries who planted the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ in these Islands. She has at last gone home to her Lord after passing far beyond the common bound of human life, and surviving the departure of all her earlier companions. Though in great feebleness, she continued cheerful to always centered upon her Savior, and upon the salvation of His people. Her faith had continued unshaken through all these years, and her love unchilled. Now at last she has gone home to her Savior The earliest definite remembrance of Mother Parker which abides with me is of seeing her in her home at Kaneohe during a visit there about seventy years ago. There were two little children running about the house, and the cheerful, alert house-mother welcomAddress delivered by Rev. S. R. Bishop, I).*D., at the memorial services in Kavvaiahao ing us to her pleasant hospitality after our somewhat trying journey over the Church, Honolulu, October i, 1907. �THE FRIEND 12 in some driving As a woman of much attraction as well as noble piety, she had already proved a choice addition to the trails of Koolau storms. previous Christian society of those early years. Arriving here first in May, 1833i the Parkers sailed two months later to the Marquesas Islands in company with the Alexanders and Armstrongs, returning here ten months later after much trying experience among the cannibals. A son was born to them there, who has now been for forty-four years the pastor of this historic church, and is grown venerable in our Lord's service. The visit to Kancohc, of which I have just spoken, must have been very near to the date of the wonderful revival which pervaded all these islands in 1837-8, and which was extremely powerful in my, father's field of Ewa, Where nearly one thousand converts were added to our Church in a single year. I particularly recall a very stirring "protracted meeting" when MrParker and Rev. Lowell Smith of Honolulu joined Mr. Bishop in touring his district, all of them flaming with a Spiritual ardor which awed my childish mind. A manifest Divine Power rested ttiioii them and upon all the people. I know that Mrs. Parker shared to the utmost in that spiritual uplifting, and she continued through her ripe" years a woman of high and habitual spiritual exaltation. I should think it was after 1870, while the Parkers were occupying a cottage in-; r Mr. Castle's, that I chanced to be present at a conference bjtvvcen Mrs. CastJ£ and Mrs. Parker in which spiritual thinking was prominent, and was deeply impressed with the great absorption of the minds cf both of those mothers in such thoughts as well as with the elevation of their views. The ()berlin Evangelist was favorite reading with them. In early life in Connecticut. Mrs. Parker had been an intimate friend of Charlotte Fowler, afterwards Mrs. Dr. Dwigbt Baldwin, who preceded the Parkers here by two years, and renewed their intimacy a year later, after the return from the Marquesas. It is a family tradition of the Baldwins how one morning Mrs. Baldwin laid an extra plate on the breakfast table, declaring when questioned, that Mrs. Parker was about to arrive. She actually came in from a schooner, before the meal was through. Some inexplicable telepathy iiad carried a message from one friend to the other. has been a choice privilege for this •istian community to have until this : day still abiding with us one from It among those earlier missionaries whose work and experience began the Church of Christ in Hawaii- Mother Parker was a most intimate member of that early circle of Missionary Mothers and lathers, who used annually in General Meeting to gather in conference in that memorable old school house near this edifice, the limghams, Chamberlains, Clarks, Thurstons, Tinkers, Dibbles, Greens, and many others of revered and familiar names, who wrought in the Lord's wonderful works in planting and cherishing His Church in Hawaii. It remains for us their descendants o consecrate ourselves with renewed zeal and fidelity to the Service of the great Work which Cod has planted and cherished here in mid-ocean to be an abiding light and testimony. The fathers pass on ; we all soon follow ; but the Word of the Lord abideth forever. [On the one hundred and first anniversary of her birth Mother Parker stated to two of her guests that her early home had been in Xew Haven. After finishing her education at school another young lady and she applied through their pastor to the President of Vale College to be permitted to t ike the college course. The matter was referred to the proper authorities, discussed and the answer was a COurteojs declination. However several of the professors privately informed the two young ladies that they could quietly slip into their class rooms and take a silent part in the exercises. They did so and in this way perstud several subjects successfully, took their examinations and acquitted themselves creditably.—l'd.] BOOK REVIEW. The Ministry of David Baldwin. An interesting story. Not that the book is a literary success, for artistically it is tasteless- It is distinctly not a piece of good writing and more than once the dialog becomes wofully flat. It contains no specially attractive character portraiture. There is not a little exaggeration. We have never witnessed or heard of such occurrences at Church meetings as ate depicted, though it is possible the scenes drawn have transpired. The author. Prof. Henry T. Colestock, sets out to give some reasons why SO many people have drifted out of sympathy with Christian Churches and also why there is something of a dearth in students for the The Ministry of David Baldwin. A Novel by Henry Thomas Colestoek. T. Y. Crovvell & Co., New York. N. Y. $1.50. * ministry. The reasons which he adduces are two, first opposition to innovations in method and second conservatism in theology. In order to render his contention more graphic he easts his argument into the form of a novel. In so far as the narrative is a rescript of his own experience it is valuable. Even those who dissent from his point of view would do well to read the book with open mind. If the Church is to become all things to all men in the Pauline sense, it must study all shades of opinion. Prof. Colebrook urges that in an age when good books on religion sell close to the head of the list, when there is more intense interest in religion problems than ever before in history, when leading men of science have become the great apologists of Christian faith, and when the general life of mankind reflects so much of tin- Mind of Christ, the Church in order to maintain its leadership must grant full liberty to its ministers and must welcome tin- results of reverent scholarship. Many Christians will both agree with the Professor and hold that a large section of the Church does the very things for which he pleads. Some Churches do not ami as long as this is so books like this one will be written and read.

The Parkers arrived in Honolulu, May ist, 1833, on their way to Marquesas, and returned the following war. They went, soon after, to Kancohe and the first letters were probably written in 1X34.

The number of pupils demanding admittance are about a third more than last year. There IS an imperative call for an increase of endowment or other aid so that additional teachers may be secured, and needed aids to instruction added to the equipment r The Friend is taken from the press to make mention of the death of Mother Parker, aged almost 102. She passed away Sunday morning, September 29. Mar) Elizabeth Parker was next to the last of the old missionaries—Mother Rice still is with her household on Kauai. Mother Castle passed away last March as the spring brought its new life to the world. Mother Parker, with the fall time of withered leaves and gathered harvests goes home to meet her old and Mother Castle and very near friend. Mother Parker were so intimate during their lives that they were called David and Jonathan by their families. Mother I'arker came to the islands with the missionary hand May 1. 1833. In July, 1833, the Parkers went to the Marquesas Islands as missionaries, returning in 1834. Since that time Mother Parker never left the islands, until this last journey opened for her eternal delight. The large increase of interest among the Hawaiians in the private schools shows that the young Hawaiians who are too old for the government schools realize that they must gain a better education or go under in the battle for life.

Apparently Kilo and the adjoining district of Puna were settled ages ago by families closely connected with tlv islands of the southern Pacific Ocean. \',o other part of the Hawaiian Islands can give such an abundance of legendary lore which is Polynesian rather than Hawaiian. Almost every valley in all the islands has its own peculiar story, hut Hilo has the folk lore of New Zealand. Samoa and Tahiti grafted into its valleys and along its water courses. Maui, the demi god—the HercuKs of Polynesia—was thought to have his home on the banks of the Wailukj river, on which Hilo is located. His canoe, from which he fished the islands up from the ocean's depths, lies near the mouth of the river changed hit i stone. The Hilo natives tell the same marvelous stories concerning him, as are recorded in the folk lore of New Zealand and many of the other Pacific islands. Ilina was a goddess of the ancient Polynesians. Sometimes she wan known as Hina and sometimes as Ina. The names of Maui and Hina are prob ably more prevalent in the differert Polynesian groups than any others, except Wakca and Papa, who are usually considered the first of the human race. Ilina had her home in the cave under the picturesque Rainbow Falls, neac Hilo. Pele, the goddess of fire, is said by the Rarotongans to have Mahuike, the protector or guardian of fire through all Polynesia, as her grandmother. Mahuike was also Maui's ancestor. The Paao story of Hawaii and Samoa has its counterpart in Mew Zealand. From Paoo was descended the powerful priest family of the Hawaiian Islands, whose descendants arc among the most literary of the llawai ians of today. It would seem as if the southeastern portion of the island of Hawaii had been settled by a different set of Polynesians from those who finally found a home in the islands of Oalni and Kauai. W. D. W. mot �5 THE FRIEND EVOLUSTPINA,DESI EOUS R GNED. The famous plant-wizard, Luther I'.nrbank. recently lectured upon the cactus, telling how he had developed a new species of immense economic value, From the common plant of tlv. desert, which was fearfully spiny ami comparatively innutritions, he had, by means of patient and skilful handling, succeeded in evolving a thornle.-s species of cactus, which was both >f high productive capacity and of highly nutritious quality, while these immensely valuable fodder plants will grow, like their worthless ancestors, on nearly rainless deserts. Mr. Burfoank also meets the inquiry, win no such plants have been evolved naturally. All the Cacti of the deserts are cither dangerously thorny i,i else poisonously bitter. And thus was so simply because any variety ..f (he plant not so defended was at once devoured i>v the hungry and thirsty animals of the deserts, and had no chance tn propagate its species. Natural evolution could beget only such cacti as could in it be eaten. Now I'.urbauk has interposed wPh He .in intelligent Artificial Selection. applies the power of a Designing Mind It direct the hitherto merely Spontaneous Evolution. With the greatest patience and care he plants thousands of cactus seeds, tint of a thousand plants produced he may find one which is (hornless. From the offspring of this one. repeating his careful selections many times, he finally develops a descendant, which possesses all the choice qualities which he desires. The result of his patient labors is a new species of Cactus which is entirely thofnless. These plants will also p;roe. luxuriantly in the driest soils of the desert. Their productiveness is s vigorous, and their roots push to such depths, that they will starve out the native cacti planted in the same row*. At the same time Burbank's new cacti are so richly nutritious that cattle fed upon them produce the richest of milk and beef. And two hundred tons of such valuable fodder can be raised per acre from desert soils ! Thus the deserts are to be made to "rejoice and blossom as the rose." Herein is to be discerned how groundless and absurd is the widely prevalent conclusion that the scientific doctrine of evolution is hostile to a rational belief in the designing activity of an Almighty Creator. The argument is that Science has established the fact that all forms of Lif'* have come into existence by succes- - sive processes of Involution from pre- then may we ascribe the marvels of Therefore, existing nature to the interposition of viously existing forms. there is no need of supposing a De- an Almighty Creator with his legions signing Creator, and the theory of His of angela rejoicing to participate in his activity is inadmissible.

Genung; "The Little Water Folks," by Clarence Hawkes. We predict that any one dipping into the Jefferson books will read them. The Little Water Folks is fascinating with no suggestion of "nature faking" to give them zest. Taos- Crowell & Co. MAUI'S WELCOME TO REV. E. B. TURNER. One of the most delightful of recent events on Maui was the reception recently tendered by the Paia Church to Rev. and Mrs. E. 15. Turner. The parlors of the church were beautifully decorated for the occasion, and a large reception committee made everyone feel welcome. Mr. D. C. Lindsay, chairman of the program committee, secured all the musical talent on Central Maui. Hon. H. P.

Fretr as Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. lie is a man of considerable experience and sound judgment and will attend to the duties of his office carefully, faithfully and earnestly. The greatest part of his life has been spent in these island's. His official position as Chief Justice has given him an excellent opportunity to understand island matters. His sterling integrity, which has been thoroughly proved in the past, assures a continuation of the thoroughly honest administration of affairs It is so easy not to see the stars Behind the darkness which the clouds have brought.

His literary acquirement! procured for him the highest degree conferred upon scholarly men, that of Doctor of Laws, lie comes now to an entirely new field and one which cannot give an enthusiastic response to the tine thought and eloquent periods which have attracted crowds of bearers in the past. Outside of Central Union Church there are no large congregations. Only handfuls of English speaking people can be gathered together in the outside towns and districts. There will be deep-seated appreciation, but the response to burning thoughts must come from individuals rather than from crowds. Mr. W'oolley will take a prominent place on the editorial force of The Friend and will conduct a Temperance Depart nient which will glisten with suggestive the Hawaiian Islands. THE FRIEND for a renewal of his license refused on account of the proximity to the kinderfallen. But he wants to get in his blows Inst so he protest- against the kindergarten, lie seems to thmk that the school demoralizes tM customers of his saloon. So he says "he cannot stand the behavior of the children on the opposite side <>f the street. While he could endure the noises from the drunken people in his saloon, lie will not tolerate any noise at all from the opposite side.' The man is apparently honest in thinking that a saloon should be protected from those who would prepare a counter attraction to keep the children out of the doors of bis den, worth while to look back over the years which have passed since the Board was organized' and note the path it has traveled and its slopping places before finding its permanent home. 'Hie llawaiians who are interested in the Hoard's work compare the different places in which the Hoard's meetings have been held to the seven days of the week. Thus the Sabbath typifies the time when anxiety and unrest are over and the permanent day of rest is found. The senior member of the Board, our revered Dr. Bingham, says that the first gatherings of the members was June a3i HI the old Mission school house in the Kawaiahao Church grounds, south of the Mission cemetery. This is one of the oldest mission buildings in the islands and was occupied by the school which Mrs. Bingham I Dr. Binghams' mother) taught for years. It was also the place where the annual meetings of the missionaries were held This property belongs to Kawaiahao Church. The officers elected at that fust meeting were: President, Rev. Titus Coan ; Vice-President, Dr. (i. P. Judd; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. L. 11. Gultck; Recording Secretary, Rev. E. W. Clark: Treasurer, E. O. Hall: Auditor, J, P.artlett. In 1867 the Hoard was holding its meetings in the lower story of the old book binder) which stood on what are now the ground's in front of the southern portion of Kawaiahao Seminary. From these quarters the Hoard moved to a coral stone building west of the old mission house known as "The Chamberlain House." This building was later a part of the first store of Castle ft Cooke. Rev. A. ( ). Forties became the corn' gponding secretary and persuaded the iard to build him a dwelling house on Beretania street in which to carry on the Hoard's work. A small cottage was erected in the grounds for the papers, books ami meetings. This building was some distance from the center of the city —hence only the regular meetings were held' there as a rule and the called special meetings in different places near the business offices.

When the Japanese government purchased the half of the block in which the Hoard rooms were situated for use by its consular offices, the Hawaiian Hoard was without a home. Mr. P. C.

One of these is rented and one is used as a sales room for the books ot W, D. W. the Board. if the public of thoughtful men insists that Mr. Campbell has only stated dearly and frankly what others had apparently not though through. Then the adventurous spirit of man will try sonic other way of retaining the ethical and .esthetic value of Christianity while rejecting its historical facts and its characteristic doctrines. This I venture to think is going to be the chief function of Mr. Campbell's book. Signs are not wanting that already writers, who had triumphantly used (he phrase, "The New Theology" in expounding their own ideas of the immanence of Cod, are being driven back by Mr. Campbell's fearless exposition of his deductions from it. to make fresh con liections with the Christian consciousness.--( Rev. W. D. .Mackenzie. 1). D„ in Hartford : and deep experience, assertions which could not have produced that experience nor glorified those centuries. But at last a zealous champion, more zealous than discreet, states the bare facts. He authoritatively, officially commits the whole "school" to its conclusions, or to the explicit statement of doctrines which had been involved in its characteristic method from the beginning of its story. Such a book will usually be found to end that particular phase of thought. For any man after that to wear that title, as this one of "The Xew Theology." is equivalent to avowing himself a follower, say. of Mr. Campbell. It will be hard indeed after that to say, "I accept the \'ew Theology, but not Mr. Campbell's," Seminary Record.) LA IBERAL'S OPINION OF "HIGHER CRITICS." CHIEF FUNCTION OF CAMPBELL'S "NEW THEOLOGY." Sometimes a book with a bold title begins a real new movement of thought. This cannot be claimed for the work entitled "The New Theology." by Rev. Reginald J. Campbell of the City Temple, London. The movement with which the author identities himself had already been familiar for about fifteen to twenty years. Various writers in England and America had been shouting the phrase to each other, like wanderers in a mist looking for the road homewards, to keep up each other's courage. Sometimes a book which professes to interpret a movement thoroughly, ends it. The real tendency latent in the premises from which it starts becomes revealed in the frank statement of conclusions which only the enemies had hitherto attributed to it. These inferences had oftentimes been denied or they had been accepted with softening phrases and hazy modifications. Attempts had been made to retain the virtues of the old in the clothing of the new, to hallow with the sacred associations of long centuries 5 Professor Shailer Mathews is a distill guished member of the "liberal" school if theologians so prominent in Chicago University. To a great extent he accept? the conclusions of the critics respectine the ''id Testament, and considers their methods correct. < >nc is tlierefore glad to find him rejecting the allegation that the Gospel has been destroyed by such criticism as applied to the New Testament. Referring particularly to the testimony of the Apostles to the Bodil) Resurrection of Jesus, he says of the in •rcdiilous "critics": "'These conclusions ire not likely to prevail except among those who live in the highest altitude of the anti-supcrnaturalisni." "Tin- real difficulty is that such critics use as criteria nf their normative processes certain pre suppositions and ingenious guesses, as to what things are not and cannot be." 'Translating this into simpler English, Prof. Mathews means that these "advanced critics" are not governed by a plain and reasonable system of judgment. They are governed by a settled and fixed opinion that anything supernatural is necessarily imaginary and untrue. 'Thus they arrive at ungrounded and false con elusions. Instead of being, as they sup pose, wise and discerning judges of the truth, they follow deluding phantasms and become misleading and "destructive critics." Neither in the (lid Testament or the New, are the fanciful and fantastic conclusions of (these fallacious critics going to stand, however ingenious ma\ be their inventions to destroy the historical truth of the Bible. This is not saying that these industrious and ingenious searchers into the history and details of the Bible literature have not made important and valuable discoveries. Hut the false and truly irrational principle which is the guiding star of most of them has led them deplorably and fatally astray. That false principle is, as said above, that nothing purporting to be miraculous or supernatural can possibly be historically true. Into whatever vogue the "higher critic- ism" may ha\e grown among our American scholars.—and it is very great—it is .loomed to a certain and discreditable fall. The Hibli—with doubtless many human imperfections, being largely the work of man—is the Record of Cod's long and gracious personal interposition, by means of Miracle and Revelation, for the purpose <>f enlightening and saving His wayward and ignorant children on Earth. That glorious and gracious rec ird will continue to stand for our ligl t in,| comfort, when the fanciful dream 111 he '"Critics" have been forgotten. S. E. H. > THE GOOD MAN IS MY MAN. Kamehamcha 111 was a king gifted in epigrams. "Debt is a moth and nun is a poison god," is very forcible when .>.<• recall the historical fact that the early chiefs laid away many pieces of cloth received in return for sandalwood only to find them quickly destroyed by moths. The king learned that debt was as dc tractive to his prosperity as the moth -as to the cloth of his ancestors. Then he remembered Kalaipahoa- the poison god the reputed most powerful destroy Ile saw the destruction /r of his people. wrought to home and business and life by rum. Therefore he put the axiom: •Rum is a poison god." Pike unto this crisp wisdom is the saying which he applied to the choice of men for public office. He was beset by applicants. For the men of Hawaii loved office then even as they love it today. Influence was used for the appointment of certain persons. Kaineliaincha. however, to the surprise of his court, appointed other men. "Why did'you do this?" was the question. 'The answer came back giving the best principle upon which to base electoral ballots: "'The good man is my man." The day for the selection of party nominees is near at hand. Party leaders are even now preparing the slate for precinct action. A good campaign slogan for any party, especially strong in its influence among the native voters, backed up by honest effort, would be the king's cry: "The good man is mv man." W. D. W. �6 THE TRUE BASIS OF SOCIAL REFORM. Although known as-very "liberal" in hie theology, Prof. Shailer Mathews pre SCStta the following impressive contribu lions to Social Wisdom and Reforming efficiency: "The gospel of the risen Christ is also the gospel of regenerate men building the eternal life into a ft a ternity that must some day include all so cial relations." "Regenerate men are the only materials out of which to construct regenerate society." We believe that this is a most fundamental truth.

His death is the Divine Witness against the Wickedness of Sin. Let the Church ever maintain like test! mom. S. E. H. TAHITI AND HAWAIKI. A word sometimes outgrows itself and becomes large of meaning beyond all thai legitimately belongs to it. It becomes an inclusive word. This has been recognized as true concerning the use in the I la waiian Islands of the word "Tahiti," or as it is usually spelled "Kahike." Tahiti hundreds of years ago meant the same island as that which bears the same name today. The sea rovers from Hawaii went to Tahiti and returned even as from Samoa and the larger island groups toward the south. After several hundred years the mists of fable gathered around the slories which were handed down from generation to generation, until all for •ign lands received the general name Ka Prof. Mathews also sounds a deep fundamental note of Gospel wisdom in farther asserting that there is "need of a hiki. The New Zealand legends concerning sturdy insistence upon the sinfulness id sin." "'The pulpit has partly abandoned Hawaii under the name llawaiki. have attempts to arouse moral discontent in the human soul, and has been giving prominence to congratulatory descriptions of men as the sons of ( !od. Adiuir able as Ibis hopefulness regarding hu inanity may be, it will be a sad day for society if its moral teachers undertake to widen the straight gate and broaden the nariow way." "Society needs to be con vinced afresh of the elemental distinction between evil and good." "Knowledge is not virtue, and art is not righteousness." We feel that the emphasis placed by the "Xcvv 'Theology" upon the "Father hood of God" and tin- "Brotherhood of Man" has not escaped the damaging evil of minimizing the poisonous and con laminating qualities of Sin. While our God is a bather of tender compassion ami outreaching mercy, He is Holy, and cannot regard iniquity without aversion and condemnation. While men are made to be brethren and to love one another, yet there is contamination and poisoning with the morally leprous and unclean. Lot could not take his family to dwell in Sodom without their being In consorting poisoned and ruined. It is neither wis dotn or truth to set forth the amiable and pleasing facts of morality ami religion, and be reserved about the facts that are stern and dark.

Hut it was evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to the original home of the Polynesians in the region around the Straits of Sunda from which they were driven out by the Malays who conquered and dispersed them Over lite Pacific ocean, It was also evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to islands nearer New Zealand and to later migrations. The New Zealand writers have taken the word llawaiki as meaning one place from which the various migrations have come -and they find much difficulty in finding any place to correspond with the conditions of the various legends, It is a simple suggestion which, perhaps, we of the Hawaiian Islands have no right to make to the scholars of \ew Zealand and vet there seems to be no reason win the Word llawaiki should not be "inclusive."

The magnificent religious educational work being wrought in India is of incalculable importance to the millions there gathered.

THE WORLD'S FIFTH SUNDAY SCHOLCONVENTION. BY REV. E. B. TURNER. Rome, Italy, May 1007. There are a few experiences in some lives, that, beggaring description, statu I forth unique. The recent Sunday School Convention held in Rome was one ol these. And not the least asset of this experience, was the inspiring and subsequent trip through (lie Holy Land and Egypt. The purpose of this article is simply to report the Sunday School Convention the greatest Sunday School gathering in the history of the world. — Tor five days nearly [,300 delegates, countries, representing 4<> dc nominations delegates whose mileage would average nearly 9,00a miles met in the imposing Methodist building, with its large audience rooms for both American and Italian services, its college class rooms and doniitories, its offices, apartments and tine printing establishment. This splendid institutional center is prov ing to be a lighthouse which sheds its benignant rays over all of Italy. 'There was only one keynote of this world's convention and that was expressed over and over again—"'The Sunday School and the Great Commission." 'The SundaySchool must be the greatest missionary and evangelizing force in the world. This thought took concrete form near the close of the convention when occurred the most epoch-making event since the inauguration of the International System of Sunfrom 37 13 (lay School Lessons a generation ago. money were contributed to their work.

As he �THE FRIEND 14 concluded three cheers were given for the Garibaldis. Hon. Lloyd Grisoom, the American Ambassador to Italy, was then presented. Mr. Criscom is only in the thirties and is said to be the youngest ambassador in history. Mr. Criscoin said that he was like Paul, an ambassador in bonds, but different in this, that he was to keep the peace. He heartily welcomed his fellow Americans to Rome, and generously invited all the delegates from every land, to an afternoon reception at the Embassy. Mr. E. K. Warren, of Michigan, the President of the convention, then read a characteristic letter of greetings from one whom he called the great Peacemaker of the World—'Theodore Roosevelt. On Sunday afternoon G. Campbell Morgan preached the convention sermon front Mark 10:13-10, which he called, "The King's charter to all such as name his name and are called to serve him among the children." "Wherever you find men and women," he cried, "in whom the flame of desire for the coining of the Kingdom of God burns, you will find men and women who have time for children and care for them. The whole five days were crowded vv ith addresses by famous Christian leaders and' by Sunday School experts and missionaries from all quarters of the globe. Delegates from nearly all the principal countries of the world spoke for their respective fields. The writer had the honor of addressing the convention upon the subject of Hawaii. In many fields Sunday School work is yet in its infancy, and is carried on under the greatest difficulties. In Belgium there are only 2,300 scholars enrolled in the schools ; in Portugal, 1,750; in Tunis, 2,000; in Bulgaria, 3,000: in Spain, 6,500; in Egypt, 11,391. In many other countries the SundaySchools are growing rapidly. In Japan there are 64,000 in the schools; in France, 67,000; in India, 300,000; in Germany, in Creat Britain, 2,250,000 in free church schools, and 7,000,000 altoegther, hut not all are affiliated with the association. Last comes America with about 14,000,000. In making his report, Mr. William N. Hartshorn, the Chairman of the International Committee, said in part: "I am to speak for the army of the 14,000,000 Sunday School workers in the United" States. Our God whopi we worship is none other than the Lord God of Israel. Our creed, the Sermon on the Mount. Our practice, the twelfth of Romans. Our spirit, that of the Christ. Our purpose, that of service." 000,000; One of the most remarkable features of the entire convention was the remarkable exhibit of Sunday School publications and appliances which had been painstakingly prepared by l>r. C. R. Blackall of Philadelphia. Every paper, book, map or appliance was mounted, plainly displayed for study. 'The periodicals represented a total output of nearly 500,000,-000 pieces of printed matter in a year. 'There were 1,260 pieces from state and provincial organizations, 479 specimens of Bibles in various languages, 563 copies of books, portraying the latest Sunday School methods and the history of the great movement. Ami' the best thing about this fine exhibit was that at the close of the convention, it was all given away, gratis, to the different missionary countries of the world where organized Sunday School work is comparatively new. It w Jas Hawaii's good fortune to receive a large box of this most interesting and helpful material. Perhaps the most unique service of the convention was held in the ruins of the famous Colosseum on the afternoon of the last day. ( )f com se, we bad been told that such a religious meeting could not he held in the Colosseum, but in Christian service, as in the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such thing as fail. There, where the Christians were thrown to the lions and suffered martyrdom in great numbers, there, after eighteen centuries, assembled Christians from nearly every nation, to sing the praises of the Father (iod, whose worship the Caesars thought they were destroying forever. The World's Fifth Sunday School Convention taught many lessons. It taught that henceforth this branch of the Master's Kingdom must be more evangelistic and missionary in its character and that it must reach out to the boys and girls, the 'men and women of benighted lands. It taught that there must be a greater spirit of devotion on the part of all officers, teachers and scholars, the world over. Some one said to Miss Carihaldi: "You ought to feel very proud that you are a granddaughter of the great general." "I am," she said, "but I am prouder still that I am a teacher in the Sunday School." Would to God that that same pride would enter all our Hawaiian Christians. Although Honolulu was one of the cities to offer itself for the next World's Convention in 10,10, it is probable that either Washington, D. C, or Tokio, Japan, will capture the rich prize.

The task is by no means light and imposes responsibilities that might well make any man pause before shouldering them. I hit they are vital to all our work The next logical step in the development of the Christian enterprise in Hawaii is to lead this great Church to fill till the promise of its position, its history and its constituency. That is the burden laid upon us who an- the heirs of the historic missionary conquest of these Islands and such changes in the disposal of men at our command, as our Master seems to indicate, are to he viewed from the stand point of the essential solidarity of the entire movement. For the work is one. I'he Hoard and Central Union Church arc each hut a part of it. Thus leaving a position in the former for one in the latter is merely a question of wise adjustment of the resources in hand. That the change involved in the acceptance of the call from the Church is the next duty has been made evident first by the prayer history which has issued in the summons, second by the spontaneity of the action of the Church, which, su far as I am aware, voted absolutely without solicitation or urging o*l the part of anyone, third by the assurances of personal cooperation from men who have hitherto not been active in its work, and fourth by the conviction that it is the Father's will. The policy of the Hoard has been clearly defined and justified, and its forces are so organized that the Secretary's office is now largely concerned with details. Expansion is certain because of the deep interest of the men who compose its membership. It is therefore a good time to pass the office over to other hands, and give first attention to leading our strongest Church into line, as a vital force in our campaign for �THE FRIEND 4 the Kingdom in this, the strategic center of the Pacific world. It is pleasant to think that there is to he no separation. We shall all be true yoke fellows in the future just as we have been during the past four years. In order that time may he afforded to make such arrangements as will be necessary for succession in tins office, it seems wise to take action now and I therefore tender my resignation as Corresponding Secretary and General Superintendent of the Hoard of the Hawaiian Kvangeli- cal Association to take effect SeptemIn doing this it is a joy ber 30, 1 <><> both to record my testimony to the ideal relations which have subsisted between since first you called mc to this service and to express my deep gratitude to you all for the uniform kindness, the affectionate overlooking of faults, the generous support and the noble Christian spirit which have characterized all your actions tovvlard me.

Doid'.Mi'S SCUDDER. DR. SCUDDER AND THE BOARD. In May, 1902, Dr. Scudder came to us as associate with Mr. O. 11. Oulick in the Japanese work. It was not till January, 1904, that he became secretary and it is probable that no other three years in the Board's history have been crowded with such signs of progress and of promise. Briefly enumerated, these are some of the things we owe tinder (iod, to Dr. Scudder's leadership. The beginning of a better union of the churches of different nationalities on the Islands. Although there is much left to be desired here (due largely to a lack of appreciation on the part of the Englishspeaking congregations of their privileges and responsibilities as leaders) a big advance in this particular is a result of I>r. Scudder's efforts. The stationing of English-speaking "bishops" in different parts of the Islands, is almost entirely Dr. Scudder's work. This is a very wide departure from the Board's policy, especially in re- lation to the I lawaiian work. Already there has been time enough to see splendid results that have effected every side of the Hoard's enterprise. On Hawaii, Maui and Kauai the evangelists in the different languages are associated, encouraged, taught and generalled in the interests of Christ's Kingdom by these new leaders. The Hawaiian Churches particularly have felt the stimulus and have responded nobly. In connection with the foregoing it is entirely through Dr. Scudder's efforts that the American Missionary Association has lent so much financial aid to our undertakings. It has been the $8,000 a year from that body that has made possible in the securing of trained white leaders for Kona, Maui and Palama and has added many Japanese and Chinese evangelists to our field. Incident to this, through the appeals of the A. M. A., has been brought about a far wider knowledge of Hawaii and her needs on the part of Christians on the mainland. Dr. Scudder has had much to do with defining the relations of our Board with the American Board, particularly in the matter of land. Having always been identified with missions he has lent himself to die increased support among Island Churches of the American Board work. A new zeal that bids fair to be widespread has sprung up among the Hawaiian Churches. Having come to us in connection with work for the Japanese it would not be surprising if his influence were particularly felt in that department. I laving had unusual and recent opportunity to study die Japanese he has been able to deal with this very sensitive people. The Makiki Japanese Church has felt his encouragment and suggestion while it may be said that their new church might not have b.'en obtained without his aid. The Japanese Christian Club is his creation, and whereas it has not won the enthusiastic support of the Japanese yet it has a fine plant and excellent prospects. The Kozaki scholarship plan of getting new evangelists for this field is largely Dr. Scudder's, and small Japanese boarding schools in various places have been fostered by him till there are several prospective feeders to the Mid-Pacific Institute. This brings us to some very vigorous championing of the Mid-Pacific Institute. Dr. Scudder has enthusiastically stood in the fore front of this, the most signally hopeful Christian enterprise ever fathered by the Hawaiian Board. What will he the Board's chief joy and crown is entering upon a career of prosperity already coming into plain view. Kohala, Maunaolu and Hilo Boarding Schools have all felt the stimulus of Dr. Scuddcr's presence and heartily evinced sympathy. Not to attempt a catalogue of the Doctor's deeds and virtues it were well lo close with but a reference to the thoroughly changed character of the annual meeting, as well as the monthly meetings, of the Hoard. The Association meetings now arc planned to supply inspiration for the year. Helpful programs of deep spiritual significance bear immediately on island problems. People representing all our languages H" and jjt't profit. As lor the Hoard a marked improvement in order as well as great gains in efficiency are a result of Dr. Scudder's leadership. The best part of it all is that we are not to lose him. Contemplating his acceptance of the Central Union paastoratc, many "f us belonging to both the Church and the Hi,aril, felt that the interests of both would be furtherivl by his cnciunbencv. He will not become narrowed by accepting the leadership in this most important Church. The Islands will still feel his interest plus the growing interest of the powerful body of believers, never fully enlisted before in the cause of Christ as it is related to the native and foreign peoples in the Islands. As for Till-: FXIEND, for which paper he has dune such effective service as editor, we gladly hail the prospect of his riturn to continued leadership. T. R. REV. B. V. BAZATA. The islands lose another man who has ecu of great benefit to the Churches of our Protestant community. Mr. Bazata has been pastor of the Union Church at I'aia, Maui, about two years, and from that important center has exerted an influence which has been felt far and wide. For family reasons, however, he felt that i he must return to the coast. After thorough consultation with his Church his resignation was accepted and a council of the neighboring Churches was called on July 11, 1907, to consider and, if advisable, ratify the action of the pastor and his Church. After a hearty expression of the harmonious feeling existing, the council recognized the necessity of Mr. Bazata's return to California, and voted to dissolve the pastoral relationship.

Like a golden thread runs the long story of man's upward struggle towards these high ideals, which arc as guiding stars to our race. Following the divine monition and the inward gleam, and impelled by the necessities of his being, man has sought to devise those means and methods which shall best fit �THE FRIEND the individual to develop most perfectly and successfully the powers that are within him: to draw From his environment, so far as possible, the wealth of its resources; lo contribute to the good of the man} as of the f< to eh vate and lii'u-lit humanity and to piss on to succeeding generations the evef-increasing light of discovered knowledge.

I appeal to those great and comprehensive words of Saint Paul, which may have been a prophecy not less than a precept, and which enjoin us to lav bold on 'Whatsoever things arc true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things arc just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things arc of good report.'

When the rainy, season was over great joy prevailed among the hungry people. Little fish had been during the whole season. caught As the peo- ple live principally on cocoanuts and fish, they missed the latter very much. The high surf and heavy westerly gales prevented the frail canoes from launching out upon the deep. But now, as the wind had gone back to tli;c right quarter, north to east, all was well, for three days the fishermen would watch the ocean. They could now live On the beach only, away from wife and children. Women had to keep away from the beach. On the third day the whole fleet of canoes would proceed to sea. No attempt to lish near the beach was made. The first step was to hunt up drifting logs, of which there generally were many far out at sea. Around these logs most of the valuable fish gathered. While on their way the fishermen were not permitted to speak, only incantations were chanted. When near a log, two or three fish, never more, would swim towards the canoe. The "eani" had sent them to find out whether the fishermen were good or bad men. If a fish found that a man who had not separated himself from his wife during the past three days was in the canoe, they would not jump in Ihe peculiar net. called "Ihihon," which was held up, but if all was well, the) would.

She is holding her darling first-born in her arms while she joins with others as they sing at their evening worship, the doctor at Lahaina. The large single canoe, not the pcleleu, or double canoe, was equipped and at early dawn Father Gulick and his little son and three or four canoe men set sail from Kaluaaha for Lahaina. Naught but a bird on the wing could fly more lightly than a single canoe before a fair wind. With the rising of the orb of day, the breeze freshened and the flying shell touched lightly the crests of the rising waves. In a sudden puff of wind over went the outrigger, the canoe was upset, and all were 9 struggling in the waves. The little boy, where was he? Nowhere to be seen. Down dove Paaluhi, and, freeing the lad from entanglement iv the ropes of the canoe sail, brought him up and set him upon the rounding bottom of the capsized canoe. The aquatic Hawaiian soon righted the canoe; then it was discovered that the thin and frail craft had been cracked from end lo end by the leverage of the heavy mast and sail, which belonged to the double canoe, and which had been borrowed by the canoe men for this trip only. Xo headway could he made by paddling a canoe full of water, lor two or three hours this company of live or six people were battling hopelessly with a strong wind and dashing waves, perhaps six or eight miles from land. At this point the weary swimmers descried an open whale-boat, which three or four hours later than the illfated canoe was crossing from Molokai to Lahama, laden with bundles of pai-ai (hard |)oi). These boatmen saw the signal of distress of the wrecked canoe, bore down for them, and, lightening their load by throwing into the sea a pari of the cargo of poi, and taking on board the distressed company, soon landed them safely at Lahaina. Willi the delicate instruments, and the superior skill of the good doctor, the castor-oil bean, source of all this trouble, was soon removed from brother Thomas' car, and ere many days the thankful father and son returned to their Molokai home. Months, or perhaps years, later I heard father rehearse this thrilling story of escape from the hungry deep to one of hi> fellow missionaries, bather Thurston, and I saw the tears of love and sympathy that the older missionary shed on bearing of the watery trial tint had befallen the Molokai brother. Such was the sympathy that knit the American Foard's missionaries into one successful and triumphant band. Little do we know where the resting place for our frail bodies is ordained to be. These two Gulicks were saved that day from a watery grave. Thomas sleeps in the soil of Kijabe, 300 miles inland from Mombasa, in the heart of British Fast Africa: while Father Gulick and his lifelong partner, our devoted mother, after spending their last years with their missionary children in distant Japan, were laid to rest under the whispering pine trees in Kobe, near the shore of the Inland Sea.

The ideal of filth being a sign of holiness belongs to the darkages an.l' to a class of men today wiio live in countries less advanced in Civilization thai! ours. We have come to believe that cleanliness goes hand in band with godliness. We arc putting more emphasis on the fact thai our bodies arc the temple of God's spirit. In the doing of ibis, many agencies arc employed, Gymnasiums, I" give the human body the exercise it needs to keep it healthy and strong: baths to keep the body clean; playgrounds to help cultivate those qualities in the chih! that will help him in his later life; district nurses, not only to lend the sick, but to leach the people that tlv surroundings ol tin- homes and' persons must he kepi clean if disease is ever to he I he day lieved fought successfully; day nurseries in which the babes of the wage earning mothers can be looked after in a proper and cleanly way: lodging rooms where young men can live free from the temptations of vice and crime; soup kitchens where the body may be fed with good, wholesome food; pure milk depots where parents may obtain pure milk that ino.t necessary did for the infant -at a reasonable cost. These and other methods are used to lay emphasis on a clean, lit for the indwelling of the I calthv body, spirit. A diseased' body will invariably lead to a diseased mind and spirit. I.') EDUCATIONAL. Not only does the body of man need his mind needs training also. The Settlement realizes ibis and supplies this training. Circulating libraries and reading rooms arc maintained where the people may obtain ami read the best there is on all matters affecting life. Lectures on all subjects arc delivered by the leading experts of the day, and in this wav the people .ire brought into direct touch with the great minds of the day. Inst ruction in music and art is given in order to develop the aesthetic side of the mind. Classes in business methods are held in care but �13 THE FRIEND order to give those who desire it. a chance of fitting themselves for a business life. Evening classes are invariably conducted in all subjects, from the teaching of primary English to the classics. Kindergartens are pari of the equipment of every well organized Settlement, Not only is the mind trained, but the band also, classes in manual work, carpentry, sloyd, dressmaking, weaving, lace making, etc. In this wav the Settlement is trying lo combat the evil idea abroad that manual labor is degrading. "The devil finds some mischief Still, for idle hands to do." While our ideas about his Satanic Majesty may have changed. Ibis saving slill holds good. Given an untrained, empty and idle mind, it will lint lake long before it gels into trouble of one sort or another. Thus in the realm of education of the mind the Settlement is doing for that part of man what the traditional Church has neglected to do. CO SOCIAL, One of the first duties of the Settlement is (he furnishing of clean, healthY c-njoymenl for the people among whom it is situated. Man is primarily a social animal. The form of amusement and recreation merely takes different forms in different grades of society according to the training and environment of the people. The club feature is strong in the Settlement scheme. Besides a social, it has an educational value. .Athletic clubs nut only teach a boy clean athletics and give him a certain'amount of exercise but also teach him deference to the wish of others. The boy soon learns in the club that he is one of a social group and' if he desires to live in peace and harmony with Ids group he must learn to give and take. In (his way he is taught the great lesson of obedience to the wishes of his fellows and to the organized forces of government. The Settlement acts as a center where people of like tastes may meet and exchange thoughts and ideas and in Ibis way "help each other on." (.\) RELIGIOUS AND MORAL. This has been placed last as it is really nut only the culmination of the others, but also the combination. Not all Settlements have direct religious teaching; they arc none the less religious in their influence. In connection with those settlements thai have religious instructions, the usual methods are employed; Sunday Schools aud Church services arc held on Sunday. The people, however, arc prepared f'>r these services and classes by the work that has been done for them during the preceding six days. They come gladly and will dv to hear the gospel of the Xazarene. This gospel has lost none of its force to attract and bold men. The fault is not with the gospel, but with the method of presentation. When presented as it is by the Settlement, not only on Sundays but throughout the week, its old power and force to draw men—even in the shuns to it. is as great as ever.

HOW TO By A. M. Merrill. As an introduction to what I may have "How to Teach the Bible in the Day-school," allow me to say that I consider the general subject for discussion at this conference well chosen. Il is, without doubt, one of the most important problems of this or of any age, and upon its solution depends the success of the age, the destiny of the Church as an organization, and the fate of all social institutions. 'Hie decay of the races and ihe doom of the nations whose ruins now strew the earth was invariably preceded by and, in fact, caused by their inability to find an effective solution to the problem of religious and moral education. And like causes doubtless produce like results. As to the present age, a review of existing conditions leads us to question the efficiency of our accepted system of education and to desire a more satisfactory solution of the problem. The general unrest and increasing discontent among all classes of society, social disorders, civic unrighteousness, commercial and industrial conquests, and the struggle for supremacy in all lines of activity and in all walks of life—these may he the manifestations of noble aspirations in the hearts of men, hut they show alarming symptoms of being undirected or misguided. The spirit of the age is plainly shown in the educational slogan of the masses, "Fearn more, earn more," and in the fact that many institutions of higher learning have caught the spirit aud aie emphasizing the utilitarian at the expense of the humanities, We have come to consider education in general as susceptible of a well defined division into (i) Secular Education and (2) Religious Education. The government schools of many States, by common consent of the patrons, owing to differ cnees in religious beliefs and doctrines, are restricted' to secular education; religious education being left to the Church. It is evident that live days of systematic training in strictly secular branches is quite out of proportion to the one day's religious training, often unsystematic 01 entirely neglected, and that the resttlt must be the development of a big head and a small heart, or keen wits and dull sensibilities.

Dawson, of Clark University, lo increases and reaches its maximum with Religious education, in hensive speculative theology, scholastic theology and moral theology. The first and second of these may with propriety be left to the Church, but the third comes well within ;be scope of popular education and is absolutely indispensable in the making of good citizens, which is the prime object of government institutions of learning. The fear of doctrinal offense in teaching the Bible in the day-school is largely imaginary. A judicious elimination ol doctrinal questions, articles of faith, and all speculative subjects, still leaves a wonderful volume of most interesting and most helpful material. There is but little to inspire doctrinal controversy in Mililc biograph) or Bible history, in the decalogue or the Sermon on the Mount, in the Psalms of David or the ethnical maxims or practical proverbs of Solomon. Hut there is abundant material for the inculcation of all moral virtues, material suitable for all stages of life, by which the child may he led by proper and rational step! through his own heroic, romantic, poetic, and philosophic ages, with the name of (ioil ringing in his cars, the thought of (rod lingering in his mind, and the love of God entering his heart. The same spirit that inspired the F.ook and has preserved it through the ages may be trusted to make its own interpretation to the heart of the child and accomplish that whereunto it was sent. We arc taught that the life of each individual is an epitome of the history of the race, and that each stage in the life of the individual has its corresponding period in racial history. Whatever has been of general interest to the human family, from its birth to the present time, will be of special interest to the individual while in the corresponding stage of life. Leading educators during the past quarter of a century, recognizing this principle, and believing that the spontaneous interests of the child are the expressions of a stage of life and indicate fundamental needs and aptitudes, have spent much time in studying child interests with a view to the more systematic arrangement of the materials and methods employed in the development of mind and character. The play interests, literary interests, historical interests, geographical interests, musical interests, ethical interests, —all have been studied, and as the years in which the several interests develop and culminate are determined the gradation of lesson materials is adjusted to meet them.

Not a few of the traditional friends ol Hawaii and its native people may be hearel to express doubt of the value ol such educational weirk as is done for Hawaiian girls by Kaniehaineha, Kawaiahao, Maunaolu and Kohala schools. The current criticism is that the pupil m these schools receives a training that adds certainly to her attractiveness and makes her a more desirable companion, but that it is impossible to develop in her a corresponding moral resistence to temptation, hence she is more ardently sought for by evil men and easily falls a victim. It is surprising how widespreael this idea is. If it were true it would be a strong argument against those who believe that "education is salvation." The only way in which to meet generalizations of this kind is not to quote instances of educated Hawaiian girls who are conspicuous for virtuous and noble lives—and there are numbers of them—but rather patiently to institute a study of the graduates of these schools and ascertain the facts. Unfeirtunately for years Kohala, Maunaolu and Kawaiahao seminaries had no fixed courses of study, no definite graduations, no goals set before the girls in acquirement of knowledge. Conditions prevailing at the time doubtless made it elifficult to do anything else than run the educational machine haphazard. Such a system or lack of system would naturally lead to haphazardness of living, yet there are many instances of sturdy womanhood developed during this period in these schools. Of late, however, all this is changed. The influence of Kamehameha has without question been very helpful in this direction and now for several years all of our Christian Girls' Schools have had' determined courses with fixed requirement for graduation and diplomas that stimulate ambition. Coincident with the Introduction of system into chaos the habit of keeping in touch with the graduates has been cultivated. Kamehaineha has done this from the first and its receirel eif all its alumnae is a model eif good work. For seven years Kawaiahao has maintained a like interest in its former students, while Maunaoht anel Kohala are just beginning to institute a like custom. The two latter schools have Buffered from frequent changes of principals. Kamehameha has organized its graduates Into a very effective and loyal alumnae association, which holds the highest ideals constantly before both its members and the undergraduates. Similar organizations will without question soon surround each of the three other seminaries with a wall of defense. No greater moral force for growing a healthful school spirit is known than a vigorous association of its graduates. The records carefully maintained by Kamehameha for ten years and by Kawaiahao for seven years afford accurate data for testing the flippant criticism urged against educatine Hawaiian girls. The facts are simply overwhelming. Kawaiahao has during the past seven years sent forth 74 girls. Their story today is as follows: Niarrieel 16 Teaching 19 Nurses 2 I >rcssmakers 2 ()rganist in church I Domestic service 5 Telephone operator 1 In steam laundry 3 Clerk in store I Milliner I Living in their parents' homes.... 4 Attending Normal and High Schools 15 Leading openly immoral lives 4 During its ten years Kamehameha Cirls 'School has graduated 85 with the result noteel below: I )eceased 3 Marrieel (teachers 3, clerk 1) 34 Teachers 13 Stuelents 12 Stanford University "1 I High School [■ 2 ; Normal 9 Stenographers, typewriters 4 of the married members.

Six of the eiglil are married and are now doing well. ( hie- is earning a live' 'ihood supporting her child and is truly repentant. One 1 have not been able to trace." These facts speak volumes to those who know the conditions of life in Hawaii ami who appreciate the awful truth that there have always been and are now numbers of white men whose habit it is to prey upon the girls of the native race. A Hawaiian young women who stands the storm that assails her purity here' is worthy of far larger praise anel honest admiration then her white sister. These records not only show that Christian education for Hawaiian girls is justified by its fruits but also demonstrate tei the man who has any conception of the battle that these alumnae have tei fight, that the Christian girls' schools of Hawaii are its chief social hope. It is a speaking fact detailed by Miss Pope that of eight graduates who fell before the fust onset of the storm, seven have' reasserted their woman hooel ami now stand true. The imperfect records of Mauiiaolu and Kohala tend to recn force the above careful study maelc by the principals of the' two schools cited. In a few more years there will he a still larger body of ascertained facts. There can be no doubt whither they will point, for every year is showing better results. The day for doubts as lei the wiselenn of celucating Hawaiian giris in Christian schools, whose aim is to equip them with an industrial as well as mental and spiritual panoply lor winning righteous character, has past. Already a number of the nobler names identified with Hawaii's first century of civilization—Patiahi.

'The "Japan Times" in its editorial columns said of the conference at its close: "So passes into history one of the most memorable events this country has witnessed in the course of its foreign intercourse. In less than liftee'ii years we have twice tasted the' bitterness of war, and the sweetness of peace is sweeter with us than perhaps with most other nations at this time.

'The Conference was of the inspirational type rather than educational like that held later in the month in Shanghai. The underlying thoughts of the program were three: (t) The contribution made by Christianity to the life of the principal nations of the world; (2) The great unifying religious truths] which the Federation movement emphasizes ; the power of the spirit of God, the Lordship of Jesus, and the value of the Christian scriptures, the scientific attitude to Christianity; (3) 'The responsibility which rests upon students for the evangelization of the worlel. The presence eif large numbers of pastors from all over Japan insured the communication of the inspirational influence oi the Conference to all parts of the Empire. This result was further secured by a carefully planned evangelistic campaign carried on in all parts of the Empire for a number of weeks, both before and after the Conference. Everywhere the amplest opportunity was given for the presentation of Christian truili. Even iii strong Buddhistic centers the municipal authorities granted the use of the city hall for evangelistic meetings. It is impossible, of course, to eletcrmine with accuracy what the outcome of (his evangelistic campaign has beenThe most important result is thought to be the larger opportunity which has been secured for the effective presentation of Christianity henceforth by resident Christians in the cities visited by evangelistic speakers. At the close of the campaign, about two weeks after the' Conference, 171x1 inquirers anel applicants for baptism hail been reported. A little later one whose estimates are carefully made wrote me as follows: "When the results are all in, no doubt there- will be- over 2000 seekers, an 1 of these I estimate that- 1400 are really earnest men who will be followed up and brought into the Church within the next year or two." During the Tokyo Conference outsiele evangelistic meetings were held for Chinese. Keircan anel Japanese students studying in Tokyo. These meetings were attentled by more than 10,000 stuelents. The whole movement has been most carefully planned anel is intended not to be sporadic but to serve as an introduction to an era of continued evangelism carrieel on by Japanese Christians.

We consider it a privilege to be able to publish the following letter from Miss Jenny OUn, missionary of the American Board in the Carolines, to a frienel in Honolulu.

As you see, I am still at Kusaie, and see no prospect of leaving it in the near I arrived here Sept. it, 1905, nearly two years agei, ami Miss lloppin left by the same steamer, according to previous arrangement. When 1 got here the e-ar penters we're putting the' finishing touches to a small house built out of the debris of our old house and four or five others. 'This house is the one we are still occupying, and to judge from the way things don't move, probably shall continue to occupy for the rest of our existence as the (iirls' School of Kusaie. It is a littlecottage, about 10x30, containing two rooms and an attic, ami surrounded on thre'c sides by a wide veranda. In the attic the girls sle-ep, all but six, who flow over into the room which they use during the day for a school room, and general living room. My bed occupies the front veranda and our dining table another corner of it. YoU know it is healthy to sleep out of doors, but with as much rain as we have, especially when the- wind helps drive it in everywhere, 1 sometimes wish I had a place where 1 might keep out of it. The front room of the cottage is Miss Wilson's ami my sitting room, hut it often has to be used for other purposes, owing to the stnallness of the house. Miss Wilson has a little shanty to herself, about with a thatched roof. She slept al first in our silling room, but the girls make so much noise turning over in the night, that she geit no rest at all, and was growing very nervous, so about a year ago we hail this little sheel put up for her. 1 have' one little' cubby hole lo invsi'lf; a part of the' veranda, lOx6, being inclosed. In this I have my dressing room, mv writing table, and all the sewing materials fe>r the school. If you think its not crowded, just conic and see. But it is Hotter than nothing at all. Beyond the house proper is a little dolly house kitchen. You know my arms are pretty long. Well, 1 can stand in front of the (ire. ami reach nearly everywhere in that kitchen. When two persons are insieTe it, it is full, and if more come in they overflow. Strange' to say, it is not nearly as hot as one might expect. It has two doors, and two window holes, for there are no windows, only blinds to keep out the rain, and it is not ceiled overhead. The girls have their own cooking sheel anel eating house which is only a roof ami a fleior. In rainy weather it is wet and disagreehle, and at any lime the chickens think it was made especially for them. 'Thus Mt have lived nearly two years now, anel yet I am no grayer and no thinner than Wheit YOU saw me on mv way down., If you ask nie' what we do, and how WC manage I hardly know. The ne-rvous strain of working in this way is great, and probably both Miss Wilson and will begin to show it vei \ soon. In fact I think we do already. But the constant noise is something terrible and yet the girls are not excessively noisy. It is only that there are too many of them for the place. We have forty-one' girls living in the house with us, and two young men who spe'iiel most of their lime here except nights. .Also one small boy who conies to school every day, making forty four pupils in all.

It is the object of the Mid-I'uciflc Institute to take those elements of our population which by tradition und habit! of life are furthest removed from American Christian ideals, and by the iulliience of a Christian home, by ennobling environment and educational forces to make them useful, intelligent citizens, able to appreciate the blessings of political liberty and of the truer and greater liberty of a life in Christ. This institution will work in hearty cooperation with the forces already at work anil will, in a large measure, fill the gap in our present system of private schools by provieling for those races not already provided for. The industrial work will be along lines laid down in government institutions, and the agricultural work, so far as possible, will be preparatory to that of the proposed Agricultural College. Thus it will be a valuable addition to the educational forces of Hie Territory, bringing its influence to bear upon hundreds of homes and lifting thousands lo higher standard of life. THE OUTLOOK TOWARD THE MAIN' LAND. B finding a satisfactory solution to her itional and social problems, Hawaii has eted considerable attention from the lnnd when similar problems have become fious. In the eyes of many Americans, tii has nchieved the impossible, she has proven that the Occident and the Orient will fuse; she hns proven the superior strength of Christian education over superstition and tradition; she has shown that kind and goner ous treatment will receive a like lesponse. And those facts will have a decided historical value, for they must enter largely into America's future policy with the Orii'nt. The rich and rapidly growing eoinmei-i c of the I'acilic is coveted by America, but, owing to a mistaken policy, it is slipping from her grasp. Americans have spent millions on for eign missions in China and Japan, but the hostile attitude of ei'rlain sections toward the Orientals has neutralised much of the good done by the missionaries. America will not permit a blunder to become a permanent impediment to her progress, and the mistakes of the past and the present will be corrected when condition! are properly mi lerstood. Hawaii has faced and mastered these same conditions and, with a perfect understanding of them, stands today as the International Schoolmaster of the Pacific, teaching the nations the blessedness of charity and fair play. The Mid Pacific Institute is destined to take a prominent part in this general educational work. The schools of which it is composed have already done much toward bringing together the East anil the West in this Territory, they have exerted a salutary influence in China through their former students, and they have sent to America splendid specimens of Oriental youth wbn have made most favorable impressions and given to many a more correct opinion of Oriental rhara iter. With increased capacity and better equipment, the Mid-Pacific Institute will be able to multiply this usefulness in bringing these great peoples to a better understanding of each other.

A member of the Japanese Parliament, who has recently visited Hawaii, has left this graceful and satisfactory testimony: ''This is a beautiful count ry and the most astonishing thing that I have learned during my short stay here is the harmony which exists in this cosmopolitan town, where nearly every nation of the earth is rei,resented. I will report favorably to the home government on the conditions and the treatment of the Japanese residing in Hawaii."

In the great lands beyond the Roa "the old order change!h,"-in the Orient is dawning a better and brighter day and towards the new light are turned the expectant faces of the young. Our doors should open in welcome not only to those who are already here, but to other eager students from their home lands, who may seek further knowledge in this favored spot. Here is to arise a school, set in the midst of a landscape of surpassing beauty, in a climate of unusual charm, from which we trust will go forth a long Succession of those who shall be indeed "heralds of truth" to the millions of Asia.

Already there have gone forth from our affiliated schools those who are helping forward the good work. They are but the advance guard of many more we trust will issue from our united work.

As the Venn went on her life was marked by varied providences—one very striking one was a call lo return to her native land to conduct a boarding school for Hawaiian girls. Forty-si« years ...ore her mother began the lirst school ever established ill these Islands. Wliy should she not take up the work that blessed mother would have loved to carry ont Resigning her position, that of Principal of the Ohio Female College, near Cincinnati, she embarked at Boston, on boarel Morning Star No. L', then uniicr command of Rev. H. Bingham, Jr., and after a voyage of four months around Cape Horn, landed at Honolulu, in March, 18G7. She looks back eat,lied the now over these past forty years and tries to recall some of the scenes and experiences of the far-away days of small things. Four buildings stood within the enclosure now occupied by Kawaiahao Seminary. Two were in front; these were the old bindery of the mission, and a dwelling house, that had in turn been the home of the Shepherds, the Judels and the Clarks. In the rear was thesomewhat imposing coral-stone building that had been the Mission's printing house, from which Bibles and hymn books nod school books hail been issued in great numbers. Not far away stood the quaint litlle adobe structure, that in the earlier years had been the school house for missionaries' children. The bindery and the printing house were the property of the American Board, and were kindly offered for the use of the new enterprise. The dwelling house belonged to Rev. E. W. Clark and was at that time occupied by Dr. L. H. (lulick, then Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. He and his noble wife had been active agents in the project now being started. In the largeness of their hearts they had taken into their home and under their care two little girls, children of Hawaiian Missionaries in the Marquesas Islands; a halfwhite, whose father was a sea captain; a halfChinese, daughter of a Honolulu Chinese merchant, and two older native girls, who were their helpers in domestic work. This wns the nucleus of the school. Bindery and printing house had long been unused as such, anel were somewhat dismal in condition. Through the thoughtful kindness of members of the Cousins' Society (the H. M. C. S.) a room in the bindery, approached by stairs on the outside of the house, was put into comfortable shape for the new teacher. At a later day when paint pots, in further attempts at improvements on the premises, were in evidence, she watched her chances when workmen were gone at close of day, to apply their brushes to the begrimeel door and windowcasings. Adjoining rooms were afterwards made ready for occupancy of ten or twelve girls. The school room was in the basement of the printing house. The flooring was partly in wood, partly in coral stones, upon which the heavy presses had stood. More or less the boards were rotten anil broken, but Ponape mats spread over them were safe guards against sprained ankles. The thick but somewhat porous walls, aforetime white washed, were stained with mould. It was not •in especially attractive place either as school room or dining room, which it had also to be for the boarders.

Very kindly the Hawaiian Board made a grant to carry this into effect. A elonation from friends in the States furnished means to procure desks and benches —plain, simple furniture, made in a Honolulu carpenter's shop. The second story, in course of time, came under consideration as a jdace that could bo made (if there were money to do it) a suitable dormitory for the youugcr pupils. Her,- aguin the kindness of friends came to the aid of the scheme. The Ladies' Benevolent Society in addition to paying the salary of an assistant teacher, voted the money needed for the dormitory. A trap door," reached by a permanent step-ladder, opened into a uarg nttic above this room. It offered closet facilities—a place to put. 9 trunks anel to hang clothing, but its unlightcd depths n.adc trouble. A curpcnter was consulted and would put in a dormer window for thirty dollars. The next mail from the coast brought that amount unsolicited. On the withdrawal of Dr. and Mrs. Gulick from the school, the Principal assumed the burden of paying the rent for tho Clurk house. When this came to the knowledge of Miss Atherton, sister of Hon. J. H. Atherton, she very soon set herself to the raising of funds for the purchase of the property. It was then deeded in trust to the A. B. C. F. M. Kinelncss unmeasured and favors unnumbered filled the records of those days and put the Seminary on foundations that have not failed it. It was a little acorn, planted in missionary soil, watcreel by some trials and tears, nourished by the prayers and gifts of many friends, protected and blest, we trust, by one who is our Master, even Christ. A vigorous oak, it is soon to be transplanted to the hills, to spread its branches under the sunshine, the showers and the rainbows of beautiful Manoa Valley. May the bli'ssing of the Lord I'ver rest upon it, and upon her through whose inunilicence it is to find its new home. THE BENEFIT TO THE JAPANESE OF MID-PACIFIC INSTITUTE. The question of education to meet the needs Japanese in Hawaii is causing much thought and eliscussion. We believe the problem will be solved by the Mid-Pacific Institute which will prove to be the "Silver lining to the cloud." Thirteen years ago, during my first month's work in Honolulu, I was shocked and uurprised to discover that Japanese children born in Hawaii hail no command of our language, but were using a mixture of three tongues— English, Hawaiian and Japanese. My first surprise was when I asked a young girl, "Why does not your mother come.'" In, girl replied, "Ale mamma hanahana yokonai." Of course I could not understand her, so the words we're interpreted by a friend, "My mother is too busy to come." 1 was astonished to find this to be the usual expressions of the Japanese children bom in Hawaii, and that these children could neither read, write nor speak Japanese. This thought worried and grieved me. At the earnest solicitation of the parents I decided to open 1 school in Honolulu for the instruction of our language to these young people. As the English training is most important, we were compelled to open our school two hours after the closing of the public schools. We now think that seven hours of lessons every day (five at the public, and two at the Japanese schools) is undermining the health of our children; we fear such a constant nervestrain may injure the development of the brain. We are tlerefore vrry thankful thnt this Mid-Pacific Institute will teach the languages, English and Japanese, in the regular school hours, and our children are to receive such a beneficial education. Manual training is of great importance to the children, in directing them to a useful future and in teaching them the American methods of labor. During the past ten years two hundred and seven children have entered my boarding school. Nine of them attendee! the High School.

K. C. M. FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING. SOME GOOD THINGS FROM PBOF. 1. M. COX ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS A RELIGIOUS FORCE. It may now be fairly assumed that the American people are (irmly committed to the policy of excluding from the public schools any sectarian religious instruction. There hnve been times when it seemed that a strong and concerted movement might in places result in a elivision of the public money for education, a portion of it being diverted to sectarian schools. But the fact that in the entire history of American education such movements have uniformly failed of success seems to fairly establish tin irrevokable policy in public school education. Realising this unmistakable tendency, timid souls here and there have deplored the' increasingly liberal appropriations of money for public school education, have lamented that the schools are or must surely become godless schools, and have proposed makeshift devices to ameliorate a condition they have felt themselves powerless to remedy. Meanwhile the public school teacher, without argument or controversy, has gone stead ilv forward with his work. He has realized that the school is only one of many institutions working for the education of the child He has not sought to lesion the influence of the home, or the church, of libraries, finds him, has endeavored to utilize all that he finds of value in the child's life and ex W|hero the Influences have been perience. found to be perverted or defective the school has reached out in an effort to stimulate or counteract. The public school has broadcneel immensely within the memory of men now in middle life. While some people have been declaiming about the godlenunens of the schools, and the need of introducing direct religious teaching, the schools have been quietly adjustiii" themselvi'S f,i the situation, have set character as their highest aim, have broadened and enriched their courses for the sake of a larger ethical content, have called into service a class of men and woiimn better trained for their work, and have almost unconsciously undertaken to supply the defects of home and society. Restrictions on the giving of direct religious instruction do not appear to have worked the exclusion of religious influence. The relations of teachers •md pupils have become more cordial and sympathetic, and their daily Intercourse is on ■t much higher plane, as regards friendly CO operation and sympathetic helpfulness. Home ■md school have come into closer harmony. Even those who had been accustomed le teach in denominational schools ami who bid taken up public school work willi some mis dyings, have testified Hint they have f in practice that they are not hampered in giv ing the ethical nnd religions culture the child's development demands. The mind the child is the mind of i.riinitive man an It finds no ?rasps truths ill Hie elements. room for hair-splitting oiscriniiiiations or fine spun dogmas. In prohibiting sectarian re ligions instruction in public schools the lawhas but put a legal sanction on a pedagogic principle that had already become the prao lice of the best educators. The law, psychology, and the best print ice of teaching seem to concur in the doctrine that the school should avoid matters of controversy and confine their teaching to those broad truths ot ethics and religion that meet with the general acceptance of men. And surely this is no narrowly circumscribed field of effort. To teach children to le kind, punctual, industrious, persevering, cleanly, honest, truthful, loyal. obedient, is worthy of Hie best effort of the school, the dhiircb. and the home.

The school curriculum, too, is rich in material for ethical and spiritual culture. The exercises connected with the salutation of the' flair should be a continuous lesson of loyalty and patriotism. The hymns and songs of the The school are devotional and inspiring. weeks of preparation for those special exercises given on Thanksgiving Day. Arbor Day, Christinas, Easter, (he birthday celebrations of Whiltier. of Longfellow, of Washington and Lincoln are full of those things that mnke for spiritual uplift in the mind of the thild. There is wealth of material for ethical culture of the child in the fairy tales nsed in school, particularly in such tales as the fiermnns call Marchen, tales that have been used in the education of children generation after generation until the superfluous snd the objectionable have been well nigh eliminated. ~ Scriptures are excluded there remains much other literature that breathes the very spirit of th(! Hible. With the poets and orators of a vast literature furnishing an atmosphere of spiritual uplift our teachers do not complain of lack of material for an appeal to the spiritual side of the child's nature. And it is possible to find compensations in these very restrictions. It is often of advantage to teachers and others to be compelled to get out of the ruts. The usual appeals sometimes I,e,'nine hackneyed. Let him who would teach the lessons of truth and 'ovalty ami obedience, and who feels that he can no longer witli propriety take "Thou Unit not bear false witness' for his text, or appeal to the story of Ananias and Sapphira. let him once try reading from the Idylls of the King the store of the casting away of the sword and let him note the effect when he comes to that rebuke of King Arthur be ginning with the line, "This is a shameful thing for men to lie." The newness of I In' approach will count for much and the re soiirceful teacher will find a thousand and one unlooked for ways of getting lit a point. In a word, just so long us religion main tains a close relation with right living I venture the belief that there is very little in vital Christianity that may not rightly bo taught and practiced in the public schools. GLEANINGS FROM PRESIDENT A. F. GRIFFITH'S ADDRESS, NEW METHODS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The subject of this paper suggests that tihero may be something the matter with the obi method* in the Sunday school. 1 believe tlhat 1 can say that there are radical defects without appearing to be a fault-finder or a pessimist. The most sanguine of ns are not satisfied with the results of the work of the Sunday Schools in either of their great purposes: (1) mentions), in teaching ami studying the H Hible; (L 1) the religious, in the conversion of men to Christianity. We want still better results than we are getting. Our secular schools and colleges are complaining of the lack of knowledge of the Bible ■hewn by the young people. Not long ago we gave a set of simple questions to the students Of Oahu College. I looked over the papers of the two upper classes which contain boys and girls about seventeen or eighteen years i»f age who came from Sunday schools all Over the Islands and from churches of vari- ous denominations. It has to be admitted that there was much lack of knowledge, not to say ignorance. Paul was quite generally made a disciple; David wore the coat of many colors, wrote the Songs of Solomon, was cast in the den of lions, and was also one of the twelve apostles. The things which were left unsaid and which showed unfathomable depths were perhaps the saddest part of it all. This condition of affairs is not, of course, confined to our children alone. Regretfully it is fairly general. The three things which will most surely and most completely effect a change are a teaching ministry and a curriculum of study which will be intelligently planned to better meet the needs of our Sunday schools which have students from the infant class to the aged, �THE FRIEND and a consecrated body of teachers, trained by the pastor, who will wisely teach !iich a course of study. 1. The Teaching Minister. If a church is large enough to employ two ministers, it is ideal if she call have a preacher and a teacher. If she call afford only one minister, his work in teaching should be just as important as his work in preaching and caring for bis flock. In particular the pastors should realize and assume the responsibility of seeing that the Bible is taught by properly trained pi'rsoiiH. lie must become a teacher of the teachers, leader ill Biblical interpretation and in si met ion. a QRADED itiri.-SE ol' STUDY, One of the crying needs of all Bible school! is a comprehensive and adequate course of si inly. The preparation of such a course is the work of experts. It should be planned with a view to bringing out the interest and to appealing to the intellect of the pupil at all stages in his development. It should meet his religious needs. It should be founded on the Bible, but other mutter should 1 c included. The revelations of Cod wherever they appear should have u place. Biography and geography, literature and science should contribute. The present fragments should be replaced with a course which has progression and interrelation, Everything should be brought to be-ar in the illustration of vital truth. THE TRAINED TEACHER. Tin- teacher is the essential factor of this scheme. It is not enough that we have consecrated teachers; we must have ennsecrated and trained teachers. Consecration, education and pedagogical training in the teachers wi almost make a school. OTHER NEEDS AND CHANGES. central idea worked out for the year. The pastor of the church is or should be the mov teaching. The spirit of her work and the atmosphere created by the way that the work is earrieel forward are important factors in establishing a proper religious basis. 7. Of all the snuin problems, which vex the soul of the Sunday school teacher, none worries more and seems less near a solution than the one of getting the pupil to study his lesson. (a) An appeal to duty on the part of some teachers to some pupils is sometimes enough. (b) The only sure way is to arouse interest not in the teaching of the lesson, not in the class, not in the school, but in the lesson itself. Clubs, class picnics, debates, sports may arouse n class pride, but these are means to the great end of a studious interest in the Bible. Amusing the class by stories or any resource makes the person in charge an entertainer and not a teacher. Plain pedagogy suggests that establishing some common ground between the pupil an,, the lesson is a first requisite. A skilful teacher will not be long in finding it but, i it cannot be found, it must be made. The lesson should be imbued with life by giving it an historical and geographical setting. An abstract lesson lacks interest; it must be concrete. If a parallel can be made between some event ill history with which the class is familiar or in their own lives, it will serve .1 good purpose. A certain delinite amount of study should be required. M. Most of our churches are poorly adapted to effective Sunday school work. Wo cannot easily change thiin; we call only plan for the future to pay more attention to the Sunday school room even if we bnve to leave off thl steeple. The church should have a specially planned room adapted to its size and lie,',ls. Thinking church people are convinced that Hible schools organized on some such lines as these are now an educational necessity. The church has no greater duty than to make sure that its Bible school by effective Organization, right methods and adequate equipment shall be prepared to do its part in th location and redemption of f hose who are soon to be the support of Christ's chinch on earth. In addition to these three prime needs, there are many other conditions which need remedying or changing; there lire new methods which may be applied; new idea? which may be introduced; reul ,lungers which must be avoided, and certain accomplishments which must be worked for and hoped A FEW HITS MADE BY PRESIDENT P.

He need not and except in rare instances, ought not to be the Superintendent of the Sunday school. A layman is better, but the Superintendent must know the pastor's plan and must carry it out. The teachers of the Sunday school must be another factor in the work. They cannot teach the pastor's ideal if they do not know it. Their training will depend largely upon the pastor's ri'iili/.ation of his own responsibility. The Sunday school needs to be carefully divided, a definite program for a year established, and the work of each Sunday carefully defined at least a year in advance. Suppose then that we divide the Sunday school into eight regular grades according to the ages of the members, adopting so far as possible the public school divisions. The following divisions suggest themselves: birth to 3 yearn 1.—Craillc Koll 2.—Tho Primary Class 3 to 6 3.—Tho Intermediate Class 6 to 8 (! 4.—The ram mar Class 8 to 12 5.—The Junior Class 12 to Hi 6.—The Senior Class 16 to 21 7.—The Adult Class 21 8.—The Home Class. Of course this division ennnot be arbitrary. They must overlap. Let DM take them briei one by one. The Cradle ReU. These little tots should be enrolled at birth and the mother given their certificate oi membership. Their names can be placed in the Cradle Roll Register, which might hang in the Primary room. A Church Album might contain the pictures of these little pen pie. Sometimes this would be a most vula able book in the library. A social for these title folks and their par ents should be given annually. On their birthdays, the Superintendent should send a letter to the mother and a card to the child. The Primary Class. This class should meet in its own room specially furnished with Kindergarten equip incut. Kindergarten methods should bo adopted. Two important agencies can be usi'cl in this grade memory and imagination. The chilel learns easily to commit nnd even though his understanding is limited, he can learn the Commandments, the Lord's Prayer. short texts, the 23d Psalm, and some simple hymns; all of tlieui should be explained for the child to understand. Little texts can be given ou little cards as, Be merciful, God is love, A !oft answer turneth away wrath, Bo patient, Jesus loves me. The most important of all are Bible stories told simply as a definite plan. A regular outline of stories from Adam to John's vision in Revelation should be made and certain stories fixed for each Sunday and the order kept. Little children will require very little material besides. The dramatic quality is emphasized. The stories will carry their moral lessons just as truly as the bent nursery tales. The Intermediate Class. This grade too should have a separate room or if not possible might divide a room with the Grammar grade. But each should meet around a separate table. This grade would amplify the work of the preceding division. Additional passages and hymns should be learned. The books of the Bible should be learned in order and the pupils instructed bow to find references. �THE FRIEND 12 Then the Bible story telling should be an important part. The same general plans aa in the former grade, but the stories amplified many more added and the pupil encourage! to tell the- stories to the class. Note books might well be kept. The teacher could give simple questions for home study. The answers should be put in the note books and corrected by the teaehe'r. Pictures selected by the pupil from tlio Perry, Wilde or Brown collections could be pusted in the note book to illustrate the lessons. The Grammar Grade. The note book feature' should be continued ill this grade and developed. These note books should be reviewed quarterly, and graded. The picture feature slioulel be greatly developed also. Additional story telling, stress now being made less on the plot but more to iis adaptation to daily life. 11l this grade the study of heroes may well be taken up. The study of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Ahab, Elijah, Neliemiah, Jesus. Paul, Peter, will be the study of the history of biblical limes. Heroes always best illustrate their times. The Junior and Senior Departments. These two depart incuts should meet in the' main room. The opening service should be short but made a very important feature. Suppose live different subjects be taken: The Church Creed, The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, The L'ilrd Psalm, and The Beatitudes. Let one be recited each Sunday by all in the room. This would make it possible to have each subject ten times during the year. Then let the Superintendent or the pastor take five minutes, not more, to explain a tenth of the selection recited. By the end of the year e'lich of the five would have been carefully considered and the school have n conception of the whole, impossible to begot in other ways. The conversation method may be developed. The Juniors mid Seniors may be questioned extempore. 'I his can be made very attractive ami Instructive. But this method must be used with care. Every tendency towards coming to the Sunday school without preparing the lessons, trusting to extempore questions must be speedily checked. If not, the lessons will lend to develop into desultory talks. These two grades are in ninny ways tin most important of all. They are the classes that are usually the smallest. The younger pupils of the Sunday school come because they are told. They often (ears to love to go. But these upper grades do not, as a class, have to go. Some do, but more do not. They are at the age of greatest unrest, the eritica age. For boys of this age, a man is needed.

This association has been formed with re- markably clear and carefully prepared papers by the ablest educators of the Territory. We have all listened with keen interest to their suggestions for developing the Sunday school. The excellent ailvice that has been given must necessarily largely apply to city Hunday schools or to rather thickly settled rural districts, and especially where the church can obtain many ellicient weirkcrs. The majority of our Sunday schools in this Territory have an inadequate supply of teachers, and ofte ly a single room in which to hold classes. The ri'sult is that there are usually only two classes in each school—one for adults and one for children. Under such conditions how enn we do more effective serried I should like to give three simple, prac- tical rules which, if followed, will improve our Sunday schools remarkably. should our Christian children bo taught to give systematically through the Sunday school, to which is entrusted so much of the religions training of the modern child.

What a glorious time they must have had before the missionary looked after them! War was profitable to them, as their services were then very much required. Let me give you a short account of how war was managed down on Pleasant Island or Nauru. After war had been declared the first step was to offer sacrifices to the spirits of the tlepartcd members of the family and to the innumerable gods of war. Tabuarik was the name of the principal god of war while Tamamak, Kabwinan, Awiricria, Tagaburoro and the two female gods, E Roduwabin and E Dowen c, were his associates. Each district of the contending parties would select one of these gods to be theirs for the particular war which was about to commence. Sacrifices in the form of the heart of a young cocoanut tree or a bunch of young nuts would be offered to him at once. Often the fruit of the pandanus with leaves attached to it, tobacco (for seemingly Tabuarik did not object to a good smoke of "Niggerhead tobacco"), pork and fish would be offered also. If Tabuarik or any of the gods were well feasted by the people of the district, he would come down with thunder, lightning and wind to| assist his friends. Lightning would I opposing party.

When the contending "armies" were A in slight ni' each other tiring began. striking feature was that not many warriors got bit, or else the island would have been very cjnickly depopulated after the introiltiction of firearms. The amen mweacos, standing behind the lighting "armies," pretended to catch all bullets with small mats which they were holding up. If anyone dared to stand behind them, he was sure to die, as the priests had power only to protect those before them. The old style of fighting was somewhat different from the modern warfare. Three days' notice would be given before actual hostilities commenced. Ten of the strongest men in the respective districts were selected by each of the warring parties. These men put an Ekabina" (armor) on to protect themselves. This armor was made out of cocoanut fibre. Their only weapon was an "Eragow," a sort of a long and very heavy spear made from cocoanut wood. Each fighter was attended by about ten other men who were armed with shorter spears called "Ekado" or "Ewere." These men wore a somewhat inferior armor. When a certain number of the strong men had succumbed, their friends would give up the fight, considering themselves vanquished. Women who were in a certain delicate condition were not permitted near the battlefield. The warriors had to abstain from eating fish as long as the war lasted. It was considered important to shoot as many women and children of the enemy as possible to prevent his increase. (To be Continued.) Hawaii Cousins A most interesting meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society was held at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. Francis Jiultl em June ist, at which a charter for the Society was aeloptcd. Papers of reminiscence were read by Dr. W. D. Alexander, W. O. Smith and Mrs. C. M. Cooke. The latter was written by dear Mother Rice in her ninety-seconel year. All were exceedingly interesting and will be published. The remaining papers were postponed till another meeting. The music too was a rare treat; a trio on violin, piano anel cello, and a fine tenor solo by Philip Hall. A large company of Cousins with many welcome guests were present. Mrs. Mills, eif Mills College, Cal., in her greeting spoke of her arrival in the long ago with Mr. Mills, of their warm welcome, of their stop with Warren Chamberlain anel bis dear wife, of Rev.

At its annual meeting the Hawaiian Board engaged Mr. E. Herrick Brown to take charge of its steadily enlarging religious book trade. We are happy to introduce our new associate to all ouf friends In I Eawaii, Some years ago Mr. Ilrown was chief assistant in the Congregational Hook-store in Boston, the literary headquarters of the Congregational Churches of the East. Pastors and laymen throughout that region esteemed him lor his accurate knowledge of all hew hooks in their line, for his unfailing courtesy and genial happy manner. When the removal of the manager Of the Congregational Bookstore in Chicago called for a successor and the directors look the only wise course open to thcin by promotes Mr. Brown to its management, his loss was keenly felt in the Boston region. Hard work brought the success predicted in the new place bttt Chicago climate proved too much for the new manager and forced him to seek California, where a season of ranching has given him hack his old time vigor. Fortunately for Hawaii the bright picture of conditions here, painted by Mr. Henry C. Brown, formerly of the Y. M. C. A. of this city, but now successful small fanner of Wahiawa, called Mr. E. Derrick Brown to the Islands at the very moment when the remarkable growth of it-. 1 k business compelled the Hawaiian Board to seek a manager. It -eiins moat providential that the Territory is to have at the head of its religious book enterprise so capable, welltrained and energetic a man as Mr. Brown. Large orders have gone to the mainland and to Asia, and in a few months the Board Book Rooms will be equipped with tip to date religious literature. Sunday School supplies and all the other essentials of a modern establishment of this character. Mr. Brown may he consulted at any time with ref erence to orders for books of any description and will he able to quote prices in his line that will be very attractive. Another Milestone. The eighty-fifth annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was by general consent the best within the memory of those present. The theme "The problem of religious education in Hawaii" was timely and was developed in a way to stimulate the deepest interest. The musical feature, introduced by Treasurer Richards, was carried out in both novel and devotional fashion. It did everybody good. The papers presented were by experts, were most carefully prepared and blended theory and practice very happily. I he expositions were unusually good. The attendance was large and it was remarked by several that the entire anniversary was a species of Chautauqua or Summer School for Pastors and Pay Christian Workers of the highest value. The steadily increasing use of the English language, the growing number of Hawaiians in attendance able intelligently to follow discussions therein. the deepening interest manifested by Chinese and Japanese evangelists and I he evident progress made in the development of esprit-de-eorP* on the part of all races were most gratifying. Compared with the kind of meeting held lour years ago it hardly seems the same country or the same people. Wc are moving in an entirely different age. The Queen Coming to Her Own. The generous participation of Queen Eiliuokalani in the anniversary, both by the openhandedness of her gifts to the Entertainment Committee and by her presence at the annual luau, added a feature of peculiar significance. Her deep interest in the old historic Church at Lahaina during her visit there last winter and her manifestation of sympathy with the work of all the Churches during the past two weeks testify that the era of good feeling has returned never again, we trust, to know an ending. Prince Kalanianaole was also present at the feast and has on many recent occasions taken pains to show that he is one of the factors in the growth of the new sentiment of brotherhood that is becoming so powerful throughout the Islands. The Queen seems alive to the possibilities of the No. 6 large influence for good that is hers and is moving in a sphere of kindly service which doubtless is bringing peculiar satisfaction. After the stormy experiences, disappointments and sorrows of many years there appears to be opening before her a career of serene joy and wide usefulness in which she may be privileged to make her life tell as a blessing to all in helping to weld together the forces which, regardless of race, make for civic righteousness and social brotherliness. Following this path of kindly service she is sure to come to a throne in the hearts of her fellow-citizens more stable, fuller of true influence and more abounding in real satisfactions than that of the olden days of turmoil. Significant Actions. Two votes of the Association link Ihe Churches to the great achievements for which the Twentieth Century is destined to be remembered. One of these is Christian Union, the other is the End of War. For many years the Congregationalists of America have with a peculiar self satisfaction proclaimed their polity to he one divinely ordained to facilitate the union of denominations. Sometimes this has been done with an unctuousness that has savored of cant. Now at last God has taken them at their word and has faced them with an opportunity of proving their boasts true or of, having to plead Finding something like hypocrisy. their their way into an assembly of and United Methodist-Protestants Brethren who were debating union they asked to be allowed to be a third party at the feast of combination. Since then every step of the negotiations has demonstrated the fact that when Christians really mean business in uniting, God's Spirit will clear away every, obstacle. With a unanimity unparalleled, conclusions were reached and now the Congregational Churches are presented with a tangible Act of Union to which their representatives without one disuniting voice have agreed. What the outcome will he it is hard to say.

From all over the United States innumerable religious assemblies, Church conventions, labor unions, workingmen's federations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, fraternal societies and miscellaneous associations a stream of cablegrams will go to the representatives of the Union petitioning for action that will guarantee the Peace of Mankind. It will be a most impressive exhibition of the demands of enlightened common people that the world has ever seen. I lawaii is to have a share in it. So the Evangelical Association has decreed by its vote to request its Hoard lo send on June 15 the following cablegram: American Delegates, Peace Congress, The Hague. ninety - seven Ha-nHiii's historic Churches petition action ensuring establishment permanent international parliament meeting automatically and periodic ally to substitute law for war. Tt is to be hoped that Hawaii's commercial organisations, fraternal orders. and labor associations will not suffer the Churches to be alone in this movement on behalf of Peace. The American Delegates at the First Peace Congress testified that it was the multitude of cablegrams from the United States that turned the tide and made it possible to carry the Congress for a Permanent Court of Arbitration, when it seemed utterly hopeless to expect any action whatever in this direction. fields brought conclusive testimony that a new age has dawned. Their optimism was most refreshing while the pastors and delegates bore out their reports of vigorous life stirring everywhere. Prom being the most backward 1 d our racial Church groups the Ha- waiian* have in two years stepped to the fruit. The movement bears none of tin- ear marks of spasmodic manifestation, ft has been very quiet and so little apparent that not until returns from all the Churches were received and added did any of the workers dream that the advance had been so general or had reached so far. The truth is the actual story of achievement surprised us all, even those who were most sanguine and thot they were best informed. Campaign of Evangelism. The most important action taken in many a year by the Association was to 1all upon all the Hawaiian Churches of the Islands to join in an evangelistic movement during the months of June, July, and August. The quiet revival mi Kamehameha schools has resulted in a solemn pledge by the Christian students to go to their homes and work for Christ. This splendid company of workers committed to special effort acted as a powerful incentive upon the members of the Association who voted to request every Church to institute house to house visitation in order to reach each family in its parish. Kaumakapili, Wainee, Haili and Kapaa Churches were asked to surrender their pastors—Rev. Messrs. Poepoc, White. Desha and Kaauwai—who, with Evangelist Timoteo will tour the five large islands. Messrs. Timoteo and Kaauwai will work on Kauai dur- ing June, while Messrs. Desha and I'oepoe visit the OatlU Churches. In July Messrs. Timotco and Desha will take Maui as their field, Molokai falling to Brothers White and I'oepoe. In August Messrs. Desha and White will tour Kau and Kona while Messrs. Timotco and Pocpoe give themselves to the cast coast of Hawaii from Puna lo Kohala. The evangelists will endeavor to reach as many homes by visitation as possible. AH the Christians of the Territory are earnestly requested to re member this campaign in prayer. It may mean large things for the Islands. (iod grant it. Good Things. The formal addresses before the Association were so carefully prepared and of such a high order of excellence that we greatly regret our inability to publish them. The annual meeting is just closing as we go to press. Next month we hope to give a resume of a number of the papers even the we may be unable to print them as they were pre tented. Sometime ago the Friend Editorial Board voted to issue an Educational Number in July and therefore the contributions to the annual meeting w ill prove most appropriate. The Delaportes. (>ur title page bears the portrait of Central Union's Missionary Family. Tt is an interesting group and the Church is to be congratulated upon being able to send to the field six such attractive representatives- The home is the glory of modern missionary endeavor. The children preach the gospel often as powerfully as their parents while the family as a whole is the most successful agency known to Christian propaganda. We begin in this month's issue a serial article by Mr. Delaporte which, we believe, to be of permanent value. Turning The First Sod. Mr. F. W. Damon, chairman of the Managers, arranged a most delightful and significant ceremony at the grounds of the Mid-Pacific Institute Friday afternoon, May 31, on the occasion of turning the first sod for the foundation of the new Kawaiahao or (iiils' Department.

That day would be greatly hastened if some capitalist would set out to do what the promoters of the banana lines of the East did for the West Indies.

As the trade is now carried' on here, bananas for shopping are wrapped in dried leaves, are piled in great heaps which sometimes arc used as sleeping places for steerage passengers, absolutely no care is taken to preserve even temperatures, the vessels sail so unfrcqucntly that growers lose large quantities of fruit by ripening between sailing dates, they are not paid for the fruit on delivery at the vessel, much of the shipment decays en route because of the conditions of shipping and as a consequence the banana business is for mismanagement ideal.

But of late Japan has undergone a wonderful marisport and food only. time development. With admirable (To be continued.) over. �8 THE FRIEND energy, she is demonstrating her capacity for taking the leadership in the commerce of the Pacific, for which she is unmistakably reaching out. F"or it she possesses some great advantages over the United States. The greatest doubtless, is Japan's possession of a very large, capable, and cheaply-hired sea-going population. As an island kingdom, surrounded by productive fisheries. Japan has an immense seacoast population, trained for ages to be at home in stormy seas. Although America is not lacking in such a maritime class, still her population is mainly continental, unacquainted with the ocean. And then the current wages of the Japanese are low. Their ships can be manned for less than half the price which America must pay. It is impossible to compete with ships manned at such low wages, and by capable seamen. It is perhaps true that competent Chinese sailors and firemen could be supplied to American ships at equally low rates; but the labor unions relentlessly forbid resort to any such expedient, which perhaps other strong reasons may render unwise. Then as a builder of steamships both mercantile and naval, Japan has recently been demonstrating the highest capacity. Already she is practically independent of foreign aid in increasing her navies of war and peace, which arc assuming most formidable dimensions. The question then is not at all that of preventing Japan from dominating the mercantile traffic of the Pacific. If by peaceful means and superior advantages she is able to do that, it is her right, and America has only to concede her superiority. But the present great problem is for the United States to secure immunity from naval assaults of their own Pacific Coast, and from warlike destruction of such proportion of commerce as remains to them, especially of their great coasting trade along the Pacific. Japan is doubtless not now inclined to hostility, or contemplating a probable war upon America. But she is a spirited nation and also a very impulsive one. It is only common prudence to be thoroughly fortified against dangerous possibilities. has long since come to be generalaccepted by military and naval horities that Hawaii is the one at strategic point for the defense of American Pacific Coast. Any hospower operating from the Orient is en thousand miles away and too remote for hostile action, that distance being far beyond any possible steaming radius of warships. But Hawaii is It the convenient distance of only two thousand miles from the American coast. An enemy in possession of this convenient outpost can deliver attacks with every advantage for the destruction of ports, cities, and the coasting traffic. And then Hawaii is isolated, and has no competitor as a position for either attack or defense of trie Coast. Hawaii's greatest qualification for being securely occupied by either America or America's enemy consists in our singular possession of'one of the best land-locked harbors of the globe, namely Pearl Harbor in this island of Oahu. It is not needful here to describe this harbor. Once properly cleared and fortified, it can be held indefinitely against any force capable of being brought against it. With proper docking facilities and naval workshops, it will constitute America's great haven of refuge and repair for her Pacific fleets and commerce. At the same time it will be America's permanent outpost of defense against the approach of an enemy against her Western at Coast. It remains for America to complete the preparations for this essential defense which have so far barely been begun. As they now stand they serve only as a temptaton to induce any determined enemy to make a timely seizure of them. Happily no such enemy yet exists, or seems likely soon to appear. Whenever Pearl Harbor is completely improved and occupied, it will constitute the strongest possible guaranty against the arising of any such an enemy. Pearl Harbor is the natural Malta of this larger Mediterranean, the North Pacific. In the interests of Peace, let it be occupied and fortified, with all speed. S. E. B. MOTT IN CHINA. [Through the kindness of Mrs. J. Atherton we are permitted to publish two letters written by Mr. J. L. Mott concerning bis recent trip in China. Except for the omission of super and sub-scriptions the letters are given en- tire.—Ed.] ftn my way to Japan I write to tell you a few things about the busy five weeks spent in China. Attention was concentrated on the eight great centers: Hongkong, Canton, Shanghai, Soochnw, Nanking, Hankow, Peking and Tientsin—cities averaging about <ne million inhabitants and each being a point of commanding commercial, political and educational influence. The almost faultless preparations which had been made enabled me to accomplish more in these few weeks than I could have done in a much longer period a few years ago before our Association movement was established. An event of capital importance was the National Convention held in Shanghai. We limited the attendance to about three hundred and fifty men, but these were so carefully selected that the number included the very flower of the Chinese Christian Church so far as men are concerned. Twelve of the eighteen provinces were represented as well as Manchuria, Hongkong, Korea and Japan, besides fraternal delegates from nine distant nations. The Chinese personnel was so strong and representative that this convention stands out as the most remarkable gathering of Oriental Christians ever held. I could not but contrast it with the first convention of our movement in China, which was held over ten years ago during my first visit to the Ear East when we were organizing the movement. Ttie first gathering had a little over thirty delegates; this one had over three hundred. A majority of the delegates at the first convention were foreigners, all but two or three scores of the delegates this year were Orientals. The officers and members of committees in the first convention were nearly all foreigners; in this convention all the officers were Chinese and also all except one or two members of the working committees. With but one or two exceptions, the speakers in the first convention were foreigners; in this gathering, with the exception of the three addresses I was invited to give, all the main speeches were made by Orientals. At the first convention one was conscious that we were feeling our way: this year one had constant evidence that the movement had found itself, that it had a clearly defined goal and that it was pressing toward that goal with aggressive enthusiasm. The Association movement has become indigenous in China. I am fully persuaded that were it to die out in America and Europe it exists with such vitality and propagating power in China that it would ultimately spread from that country back to the West. An advance policy was outlined, thoroughly discussed and unanimously adopted. Among other things, this calls for setting apart an able Chinese secretary to cultivate the Christian colleges and schools; the devoting of at least two able men to work among the students of the hundreds of government and gentry schools which are springing up on every hand; the commissioning of an experienced Chinese leader to extend the movement among the Chinese colo- �THE FRIEND nies in the Philippines, the Straits Settlements, the East Indies, Sou 1:'! Africa, the Hawaiian Islands, and t! p Western Coast of America; the allocating of at least two Chinese scholars to devote themselves to meeting the clamant need for Christian literature for young men ; the conducting of an aggressive campaign to influence Chinese students of capacity to devote their lives to Christian workj the laying of special stress on the enlisting and training of Chinese leaders for the secretaryship; the maintaining of the a'.mitled primacy of the Association movement in the Bible study developments throughout the Chinese Empire; and the sounding out of the note of evangelism on behalf of the most influential classes of men. My private conference with the International Association secretaries, at which we considered exhaustively a program for the next five years in the work of the Associations of the Far East, was in some respects of even greater importance than the Convention. This was supplemented by unhurried interviews with each of the twenty-five secretaries concerning his own work, relationships and plans. I went into matters even more extensively with the national leaders, Brockman and Lyon, one or both of whom travel ed with me during my entire visit in their field. The word statesmanlike is a much abused term and yet it apples with aptness to the policy of these two men who have already accomplished a work out of all proportion to their years. Wherever possible I threw myself with the keenest interest into the work of evangelism. While there was not time to conduct as many meetings of this character as one would have liked, those which were held ranked among the most fruitful in my experience. These meetings in the different places averaged in attendance over one thousand young men. and the work of invitation was so well carried out that the audience were composed of picked young men of the most important classes. Not a gathering was held which did not crowd the largest hall which could be obtained. In two cities large temporary pavilions were erected for this special purpose. Each meeting, including the time I devoted to the process of sifting out the inquirers and anchoring impressions, lasted three hours. Notwithstanding the handicap of being obliged to do everything through interpreters, the intense attention and responsiveness of these audiences was of such a character as to be inexplicable apart from the working of 9 thc supernatural Spirit of God.

After the audience was dismissed the Commissioner of Education of the province and the president of the Imperial University had mc spend two hours with them discussing educational problems. One of the main subjects of conversation was the attitude of the government toward Christian colleges in China. I regard this as one of the most important opportunities which has ever come to me. especially as this particular province is setting the pace for the whole Empire in educational matters. At .Nanking, the ancient capital of China, the Viceroy, Tuan Fang, who is one of the three most Influential Viceroys of China, kindly arranged for us in call upon him. He was Governor of Shensi at the time of the Boxer war and, contrary to the Imperial orders, protected the lives of the missionaries.

M. Lydgatc a committee to solicit were. There was some discussion as funds for this purpose. Mr. Lydgate, �11 THE FRIEND however, declined to be appointed for this purpose, claiming that this was an unwarranted and discourteous interference in the affairs of the Methodist Mission. Until we knew something of Mr. Wadman's attitude toward the matter it would be wise to tend to our own affairs—the more so as there were indications of strained relations between Mr. liven and his superiors. The matter was finally dropped. The Hawaiian pastor at Waimea appealed for the speedy ordination of Mr. Yec Kui worker under the Hoard in the Chinese field at Waimea. He had been licensed at the last Association and it was proposed to ordain him now without further examination and in the absence of the head of the Chinese department. Rev. F. W. Thwing. An ordination committee was appointed but this committee was so strongly impressed with the inadvisability of such precipitate action that they reported in favor of postponement until Mr. Timing's return. There was a surprising unanimity of sentiment in favor of allowing unlicensed and uneducated practitioners to experiment on the unfortunate lepers at Kalawao. The Hoard of Health was occupying a dog in the manger position -they wouldn't do anything themselves—nor let any one else. Specialists came from all over the world—and made a great show of wisdom and skill, took samples and specimens and went away again and nothing more was ever heard of them. The regular practitioners were powerless. Why not give the men who stood ready to do something a chance? 11l response it was pointed out that a man wouldn't turn over a delicate and valuable watch to a blacksmith to repair but to a trained watchmaker. The bodies of the unfortunate lepers at Kalawao were infinitely more valuable and delicate than watches, and we ought not to turn them over to every ignorant bungler to experiment on. If the specialist and the regular practitioner could do nothing it was certain that the ordinary man wholly ignorant of the human organism couldn't, and it would be the height of inhumanity to expose the poor lepers to the ignorant bungling of such practitioners. No action was taken in the matter. On the whole it was a most interesting and profitable meeting. J. M. L. EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION ON TRIUNION. Honolulu, T. H., May 29, 1907. To the National Council of The Congregational Churches of the United States: The Hawaiian Evangelical Associa- tion, assembled in its eighty-fifth nual meeting at Honolulu, T. an H., sendeth greeting. Having learned with great jo.v of the movement towards union which for the past few years has stirred the hearts of the members of the Methodist Protestant, United Brethren and Congregational Churches, believing that this movement was born of the Holy Spirit and has from its birth consistently evidenced 11is guidance, and realizing that the occasion in which to justify our professions now confronts its, who, as a denomination of believers, have long declared both our desire to he used nf God as a factor in the answer of our Ford's prayer for union and the peculiar fitness of our polity and history, to serve as a denominational solvent, we, the Pastors and Delegates of the ninety-seven Churches of Hawaii, respectfully petition you to take such action as shall facilitate the proposed consolidation of these three companies of Christian disciples. Since the time of their founding our Churches have been singularly free from denominationalism, not a few of them bear the name of "Union," and they have consistently striven with large success to keep sectarian narrowness out of these fair Islands. The blessings of this condition of few competing communions are apparent everywhere here and form one of the unique features of local Christian experience. What we enjoy we wish to see prevail throughout the country, leading on to the final realization of our Lord's ambition for all His disciples. We hold ourselves in readiness to institute whatever alterations in name may be necessary to carry into local effect the Act of Union, provided the three denominations adopt it. These seem to be the only changes the union would require of us. The doctrinal platform and the treatment of vested interests call for no modifications of existing features of our Church life. As to polity, although we have no declarations with reference to the autonomy of the local Church in the constitutions of our ecclesiastical organizations in these Islands, we have the thing itself, and there is nothing in the Act of Union threatening to deprive us of it. We prefer the reality to any academic assertions concerning it. Ministerial standing here rests with the local associations and until they surrender this prerogative, which the Act of Union is not understood to require them to do, we know no power, except that of our Master to whom all authority hath been given, that can take it away. We believe that the time for putting union into effect has come. The practise of this great virtue, so near to our Lord's heart, is the demand of the hour. If the three denominations adopt the Act of Union and begin to work upon it, experience will teach what modifications may be wise. Our own denomination, which outnumbers both of the other parties to the union, has no need to fear any deprivation of The visible btoodbought liberties. Church of Jesus Christ in the world is in far more danger of loss of influence, if not of real life, through unwillingness to pi ogress towards effective combination, whither God's Spirit and outage so clearly point, than through the bugbear of lost rights. Wherefore in the faith that the Great Head of the Church is leading His Congregational followers into larger life through the Open door, on the threshold of which they now are standing, we advocate entering boldly this realm of opportunity by the adoption of the Act of Union.

Wright, U. S. Commissioner of Labor, recently said: "I have looked into a thousand homes of the laboring people of Europe; I do not know how many in this country. I have tried to find the best and the worst. And while, as I say, lam aware that the worst exist, and as bad as under any system and as bad as in any age, I have never had to look beyond the inmates for the cause; and, in every case, so far as my own observation goes, drunkenness was at the bottom of the misery, and not the industrial system or the industrial conditions surrounding the men and their families." �12 THE FRIEND NEW MEMORIAL WINDOW. A recent issue of a pilpcr published in Danhury, Connecticut, contains the following There item: has been placed, in one of the north windows of the First Congregatoinal Church a beautiful stained glass window, the work of the Tiffany Studios, New York, which will be seen will) a great deal of interest by the people ol the Church tinnorrow, and makes a splendid addition to the interior decorations of the Church auditorium. 'I'he window is the gift of Charles Montague Cooke, of Honolulu, Hawaii, who gave it in memory of his parents, who went to those islands as missionaries many years ago. At the bottom of the window is ihe following inscription : In Mcmoriain Amos Starr < ookt and bis wife Cooke, Juliette Missionaries to the I lawaiian Islands in 1836. The giver of the window has not it himself, for A. Cooke Seeley, of this city, acted as his agent in securing it. It is one ol the finest works of the Tiffany Studios, and its cost was about one thousand dollars. The picture in the glass is that of •'lhe Sower," a representation of the parable ol the sower as told by the Christ and recorded in the gospels. The colorings are harmonious and perfectly in keeping with the other windows in the Church. It represents a in 111 in the garb of a Hebrew spreading seed upon a field, taking the seed from a small bag which he carries at his side. I'he window is protected on the outside by a covering of glass a quarter of an inch in thickness. MH-n FALSE BIOLOGY AND I. By John T. FATALISM. Gulick. Herbert Spencer rests his denial of the freedom of the human will on the biological assumption that all vital activities are predetermined by activities ill the environment. (See Principles of Psychology, sec. aao.) In his Principles of Biology sections mo and 170, we read: "At first, changes in the amounts and combinations of external inorganic forces, astronomic, geologic, and metcorologic were the only causes of the successive changes undergone by organisms. In time however, the action of organisms on one another became new sources of organic modifications." And again: "That there maybe continuous changes in organism, there must be continuous changes in incident forces." It is evident that if our natural powers and our present conditions are so determined by the environment that we can produce but one set of actions, then no effort on our part, either individual or collective, can in the least affect the result; for we cannot change our circumstances without acting, and our actions arc already determined by our circumstances. We now raise the question, whether ihe assumption on which Herbert Spencer founds his philosophy, and which has been accepted without question by many biologists, is in accord with Ihe facts of biology. la it hue that change in Ihe character of the selection affecting any organic group is wholly determined by change in Ihe activities surrounding Ihe group.' Or can change in Ihe selection be initiated ami maintained through change in Ihe organism, without any change in the environment.' (i) External nature furnishes the means and the occasions but not the cause. Can any thing be surer than that through Ihe activities <>f the organism changes in its relations to the environment an- often produced; and that through these changes the charac- ter of its survival is changed, and so the character of its selection. It is by virtue of its power to strive for the continuance of its life that an organism is n organism ; and selection is the direct lesult of varying degrees of survival in the exercise of this power. We sec. therefore, that the doctrine, common amongst a certain class of evolutionists, that the environment makes the Organism, rests nu a false assumption. i )ne cause of this assumption has been Ihe habit of speaking of the transforming power of selection as if it were quite distinct from the power of variation; whereas the diversity of survival, which s diversity of selection, is the direct : result of the varying adaptation of the organism. 'I'he transforming power of selection is the direct result of variation and heredity, with the elimination of the less fit. If we wish to draw a true parallel between Natural Selection and Artificial (or rational) Selection, we must consider both wild and domestic creatures as gaining opportunity for propagation by adapting themselves to the environment ; the one class varying so as to be the best able to perpetuate its kind in the struggle for life among irrational who are the environment, and the other class varying so as to be the most pleasing to man, and through his care and protection gaining a chance to live and propagate. The one class adapt themselves to the natural (or irrational) environment, the other class to the rational environment. /" either case change in Ihe character <>j Ihe selection may be produced through change in the organism, withaul any change in the creatures environment. I will now refer to cases thai illustrate and prove this statement. It should he noted that Natural Selection and Sexual Selection the two forms of selection discussed by Darwin belong to widely different spheres of action, and, as I have elsewhere shown, there are other forms of selection of equal importance with these, arising in each of these spheres. Natural Selec tion is one form of Fnviroual Selection, the changes of which are determined by changes in the natural environment. Another form of Fnviroual Selection is Artificial Selection, the changes of which are determined by changes in the rational environment surrounding the species, A third form of F.nvirnnal Selection is what I have called Fndouo mic Selection, diverse forms of which are determined by different methods of using the same environment adopted by isolated branches of the same species. The valleys of Manoa and Niiuanu, though nniv about three miles apart, present a greater difference in vegetation than that found between Mano:: and Kawailoa, (in (he district of Wai alua.) which are twenty, miles apart but the divergence in the species of snails of the genus Acliatinclla, OCCIi pying these valleys, varies according to the number of ridges by which they arc separated, and not according to the con ditions to which they are exposed. Th largest species of the genus are found in Manna and Makiki clinging to the trunks of the ohia and kukui trees while their nearest of kin in Waialua. are much smaller, arc of different forms and colors, and have deserted the trunks of Ihe larger trees to live on the lobelia and other shrubs. Several species of birds found in North America have changed or are now in Ihe process of changing, their relations to the environment, in such a way as to introduce themselves to new fnrms of selection. One is the cliff swallow, which, instead of plastering its nest against the roof of a cave or hole in a cliff, attaches it to the overhanging eaves of a house. Another is the chimney swift. We know that before the coming of Europeans these : �THE FRIEND 13 EXPERIENCES OF A NATURALIST A PERILOUS LANDING. birds chose hollow trees as the appropriate place-, for (heir nests, but now most of tin- species have deserted the hollow trees, and established themselves in the chimneys. 'The influence of habits iii determining new relations to the environment is well illustrated by a colony of cats on Tarpon Island, near the mouth of the Mississippi river. ( hie of the most decided instincts of the ordinary cat is lo avoid immersion in water or any other liquid, lie dislikes to wet even his feet ; but there may arise conditions under which he will use his paws in drawing food out of the water. More than nne has learned to help himself to cream placed in an open jar, by thrusting his paw into the liquid and then licking oil' what adheres. Some have learned to skim pans of milk in a simi- lar way, and others have become adepts in fishing for gold fish kept in glass globes. These undoubted examples of the partial overcoming of their natural aversion, makes it easier to believe (he account given by the New Orleans Times-Democrat the Tarpon Island cats. concerning Their separation from other families of cats has allowed of their establishing their habits of feeding on entirely new lines of tradition, for they all wade freely in Ihe shallow waters of the beach hunting for small fish, and three or four of the bolder ones swim off to oyster boats King at anchor near by. This is an example of an innovation becoming a permanent habitude; and as Captain Bosco, who owns these cats, says it is — OB — many years since they began to go into the water, we have reason to believe the: friend that a coincident form of Endonomic DEC 'D2 Selection has begun to produce a breed This number is in considerable demand whose innate instincts are better adaptfor mission study and we slid have a : : : quantity on haml ed to this mode of life than were those Thk Price roa thi I'ki-sim is of the original stock. 25 Cts. Returning to Sexual Selection we find that it is one of several forms of selection arising from the relations in which the members of the same species stand to each other and which may, therefore, be classed as forms of ReAN ENCYCLOPEDIA flexive Selection. Sexual Selection secures between the sexual instincts of one sex and the instints and characters of the Other sex, such harmony as The cost hitherto has been so great that al is necessary for the sexual propaga- though CHILDREN ARE FOREVER WANTtion of the group. 111. birds, insects; ING to consult one in their school work, few joi, _>00.

BOOK ROOMS A third form of Reflexive Selection American Board Number : THE GROWING FAMILY NEEDS _ �14 THE FRIEND is what I have called Filio-parental Selection, which maintains coordination between the power's and characters of parents, and the size, number, form and instincts of the young. How the power of giving suck and the corresponding instinct for sucking were first developed it may be impossible to tell; but it is evident that having once been established as the method of sustentation for the young of mammals, any mother lacking the power of giving suck, and any young lacking the instinct for sucking, would in all probability fail of leaving descent. The death at birth of children with excessively large heads, as also the failure of a mothei with a contracted pelvis to produce living children, are examples of filio-parental selection. There are several other forms of Rellexive Selection, but the only one that we can take time to consider»jg Institutional Selection. Institutional Selection is du< to the suppression of human reproduction in certain cases, and the favoring of it in other cases, by means of ecclesiastical, military, commercial, sanitary and penal institutions. It is of great interest to the student of social problems, for it shows how even the inherited powers of the civilized races of mankind are being constantly molded by their institutions, and the forms of social organization that prevail. In all divergent evolution of racial characters segregate generation (that is the generation of like with like,) has been a fundamental condition. It is also at present a fundamental condition in the very structure of the organic world: for without Segregate Generation, races, species, genera and the higher groups could not continue to exist even if they were independently created.

' * 3 No. 5 Territory will be entitled to send to the National Council one ministerial and one lay delegate for every 5000 Church members or major fraction thereof. In all other respects there will be no changes in the conduct or government of our Churches. If the union be consummated the United, Churches will become the fifth largest company of Christian disciples in the United States. From now on until the National Council meets in October, and until the National Conferences of the United Brethren and Methodist Protestants assemble, let all our Church members make this mighty movement a subject of daily prayer, If these three companies of disciples join, doubtless the impetus given to believers of every name to forget their differences in obedience to the prayer of the Master for union will hasten to become irresistible. Those Churches throughout the Territory that already bear the name "Union" will feel especially at home in the new triunal denomination. Our Annual Meeting The program for this anniversary, which will convene in Kawaiahao Church, Honolulu, March 25 to June 3, is practically complete. The general topic will be "The Problem of ReligPaul's ious Education in Hawaii." letter to the Philippians will be the expository theme. Ample time has been allowed for business and a very interesting array of speakers is promised. Hawaii's delegate to the International Y. M. C. A. Convention in Tokyo, Mr. D. L. Ai, and the Board's delegate to the Centenary Conference of Missions in China, Rev. E. W. Timing, will be heard from. A new feature of this session will be ten minutes every morning given to learning : and singing some great hymn. This s to be no perfunctory matter, committees will not be allowed to meet at this time, and every delegate will be specially requested to be present and join in the inspiring exercise. Mr. Richards will have charge of this part of the program. We hope for a large attendance and request that every Church and every Christian make the anniversary a subject of special prayer. �THE FRIEND. 4 Kindly Mention It is pleasant to sec Tl\e Friend generously spoken of by its contemporaries. The Advertiser constantly brings messages to its readers from us, for which we arc always grateful. It would be natural to expect a friendly word from a comrade like The Pacific, or even from our big brother, the Congregationalist, of the distant Hub. But we hardly looked for so flattering a notice of a modest editorial as filled some two-thirds of a column in the Army and Navy Journal of March 9 or the column editorial upon the same article in the Boston Transcript of March 4. These kindly references are, of course, a tribute to the unique position Hawaii holds in the Pacific and to the contributions her conglomerate population, together with the resulting problems and her way of tackling them, enable her to make to social science. These Islands must grow increasingly interesting to the world at large according as we grapple successfully with the great questions that face us. For this reason a failure like that of the present Senate to pass the Local Option Bill is a cause for keen regret. We all want Hawaii to do things in an ideal way. She can and please God she will. The Peace Movement The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii has appointed Mr. W. R. Castle, Jr., who holds the position of Assistant Dean in Harvard University, to represent the business interests of the Territory at the Mohonk Conference or. International Arbitration, soon to convene at Lake Mohonk. This is the first time these Islands have formally participated in this worldwide Conference, though Island residents have attended previous sessions. The movement for World Peace is fast growing irresistible. The advocates of this, which is by far the one most important human interest, are showing the greatest wisdom in their propaganda. In the first place, all the leading parliaments of the world are being reached through the Interparliamentary Union. This is a Congress in the interests of Peace which is composed of 2500 of the 15,000 members who make up the national assemblies of earth. This august body has formulated a platform of four principles, which the nations have agreed to discuss at the Second Hapue Conference, scheduled to meet on June 15. These four questions are: first. Shall the Conference meet hereafter automatically and periodically; second, Shall a model arbitration treaty be drawn, third, Shall disarmament be discussed; fourth, Shall contraband of be defined. Another mighty agency bearing the promise of larger achievement even than the Interparliamentary Union is that which aims to enlist all the financial magnates of earth uito a movement that shall be pledged to close the sources of money power to nations that wish to urge war. If this end be achieved fighting must cease, for only the government that can command loans can afford to be belligerent. The third great aggregation which shows growing hostility to war is organized labor. The day is fast Hearing when the common people the world over, who from the earliest ages have borne the weight of war's burdens, the men who form the targets for one another, who do the weary marching, undergo the degradation of camp life, lose the finer fiber of manhood in training for the shambles, and the women who stay at home to care for the children, besides earning the food that the absent husbands should provide, who swell the ranks of widows or toil through life for maimed and wounded veterans, will play the fool no more, will crowd tumultuously into one great union Of Peace and end forever the insensate madness of public murder. To popularize these features of the campaign and to create a regnant public opinion that shall tolerate war no more, gigantic Peace Conferences like that in New York which concluded its sessions April 17 arc constantly projected. It does not take Mankind long to come to mighty and momentous decisions nowadays. By the time the Hague Conference of 1007, which will be composed of delegates from all the fortyfive nations of the globe while its predecessor represented only twenty-six, shall have ended, a definite World Parliament may be organized. Who can tell? Hawaii is small, but it has its part in this vast movement. When June 15 is reached a series of cablegrams should go from Chamber of Commerce, Merchants' Association, University and College Clubs, the various Churches and Fraternal Orders to our American delegates calling upon the Conference to take the great step of declaring that war must cease and the reign of law be established among all nations. war Progress in Temperance Indications are not wanting that the noble campaign of education waged now for twenty years and more by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the public schools of the Nation is> issuing jn victory. Drink- ing to excess is becoming unfashionable. The presence of much wine or many varieties of intoxicants on the tables even of Society leaders is no longer good' form. The doctrine of the sanity of good health is merging into an axiom. People are giving heed to questions of dietetics as never before. Simple food, less meat in the daily regimen, abstinence even from tea and coffee, as well as from alcoholic stimulants, not in any Puritanic spirit or from ascetic notions or through religious scruples, but solely because the man of brains does not tare to play the fool by drugging his powers into lesser efficiency and because he wishes to be all there at every moment in the growing strenuousness, complexity and matchless charm of present day life, all are evidences that intellect is progressively asserting itself as master over animalistic instincts. The newer sort of collegian trained under the dominance of this type of common sense is bound to live more widely, achieve more, enjoy more and contribute more to his age than his predecessors. It is this spirit that tortures the saloon advocates with the specter of the downfall of their power. They cannot fight this sort of foe. You may laugh yourself into seeming victory over a fanatic or a saint, but when \ou tackle cold common sense, the laugh and the victory are on the other side. No wonder, then, that The Wine and Spirit Circular, one of the leading liquor journals of America, has this sage advice for its readers: "If there is one thing that seems settled beyond question it is that the retail liquor trade of this country must either mend its ways materially or be prohibited in all places save the business or tenderloin precincts of our larger cities." What "mend its ways" means it is hard to tell. 'Hie editorial continues: "If the Anti-Saloon League can maintain its present organization it looks as if it will certainly destroy the legalized saloon in all of the Southern States, except perhaps in Missouri, and it is certainly making strong headway in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other Western and Northern States. The Anti-Saloon League is not a mob of long-haired fanatics, as some of the writers and speakers connected with our business have declared, but it is a strongly-centralized organization, officered by men of unusual ability, financeered by capitalists with very long purses, subscribed to by hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who are so- �THE FRIEND. licited by their various Churches, advised by well-paid attorneys of great ability, and it is working with definite ideas to guide it in every state, in every county, in every city and in every precinct." Why all this is true the Wine and Spirit Circular does not state. It is because the man of today knows more about his body and its care than nil predecessors. The consummate folly of taxing himself to support such an institution as the saloon, the father of brothels, jails, insane asylums, orphanages and poor houses is fashioning itself into an axiom. The Indiana Decision Human progress has oftentimes strange manifestations. A great social truth comes silently into men's souls almost unguessed. Then some man utters it so simply and so startlinglv that the world stands aghast. In olden limes the astonishment expressed itself by stoning or hanging or crucifying or otherwise murdering the human mouthpiece of the universal conscience and a few years later canonizing him. We do not do this today. Sometime, we make a fuss for a while, especially if vested interests be menaced, but in a surprisingly short time intellect rallies to conscience side and the new social truth begins to coin witticisms al the expense of previous mental density. The case of Judge Artman of Indiana is to the point here. He has just decided, in what promises to become one of the historic pronouncements in the war of common sense versus the saloon, "that the State cannot under the guise of a license delegate to the saloon business a legal existence, because to hold that it can is to hold that the State may sell and delegate the right to make widows and orphans, the right to break up homes, the right to create misery and crime, the right to make murderers, the right to produce idiots and lunatics, the right to fill orphanages, poorhouses, insane asylums, jails and penetentiaries, and the right to furnish subjects for the hangman's gallows." The Judge therefore rules' that the State law licensing saloons is unconstitutional. This decision may not stand when appealed to the Supreme Court. But that it is the product of the social common sense of the American people and not the utterance of one man, and hence that it will prevail ere long in the life of our Nation, cannot be doubted. The American people are doing more thinking upon this question than ever before, and they are doing it in an entirely new way. They are approaching it from the point of view of hard common sense. The saloon is "a fool thing," as the college boy puts it. Pourinsj into one's body stuff, every drop of which tends to weaken, is, after all, beneath contempt. It is childish and the world of men must outgrow it. All this is axiomatic today. Like war, the traffic in women and slavery, the saloon must go as a frightful travesty upon the civilization of brotherly men. Steamship Disasters A lady passenger on the steamship Dakota busy packing her trunk in anticipation of landing soon at Yokohama glanced out of the porthole of her cabin and exclaimed to her husband, "I never knew that large steamers like this sailed so near the shore." A few minutes later the IXikota was a wreck. Japanese on land, abserving the course she was taking, bail their boats all in readiness and some had even started out to lend a helping hand before the vessel -truck. A gentleman, standing upon the deck of the Mongo'ia as she steamed towards Midway in a calm, clear night, pointed out to a fellow traveler 3 line of breakers a little ahead and to one side with the word, "We seem to be getting close to the rocks." In less than two minutes the steamer grounded. In each case the captain was on the bridge. Eyery one of the accidents to the liners Manchuria. Mongolia and Dakota anil the transport Sheridan were entirely avoidable. A most competent witness in court at Honolulu recently testified that if the captain had used "the commonest discretion" the Mongolia could not have gone ashore on Midway. Ugly rumors are afloat connecting the names of some of these ship-wrecking captains with the use of alcoholic stimulants. These tales may be entireh- false in all cases. But we wonder whether the transpacific steamship companies are as careful to prohibit the use of intoxicants by their employes as are the leading railroads of the Union? It may be that they are. If so, would it not be well for them to advertise this fact as the railroad companies do? Certainly if an engineer or conductor even by one known indulgence in drink, though moderate, renders himself liable to discharge, an officer of an ocean liner should be equally subject to discipline. It tni?ht be a wise thing for passengers to study the habits of the captains with whom they sail and let it be known if they find unmistakable evidences of even the moderate use of alcohol. For tests made by the German Government 5 clearly establish the fact that even a very sparing use of alcohol tends to cloud the judgment and lessen accuracy. By all means let us have light on the subject of the possible relation of avoidable shipwrecks to the use of intoxicants. Is it not time also for the traveling public to demand that greater care be used by our American transpacific lines in the choice of captains? It seems singular that out of the five recent startling accidents upon the Pacific, namely, those befalling the Manchuria, Mongolia, Sheridan, Dakota and Mongolia a second time, all occurred in steamships under American captains and that each of these groundings was due to what seems to the public to have been criminal carelessness. The bigness of the ship in no case was responsible for the clumsiness of its handling. S. E. B. For the first time in years we miss these familiar initials at the close of one or more articles in our columns. Dr. Bishop's service to The Friend has been so constant, so vigorous and bo provocative of thought that an intermission of it is like the absence of a near companion. A week or two ago the Doctor was prostrated by illness, ■md though he is well on his way to recovery, he is not suffered to give time to his usual round of work. As many know, he has had exclusive charge of the Record of Events and the column of Marriages and Deaths. These have added definite value to The Friend for ready reference. The fertility and resourcefulness of Dt. Bishop's mind have for many years been a revelation and a delight to a large circle both in Hawaii and on the mainland. One never knows just what subject he will tackle, from volcanoes and moon-birth theories to New Theology and the Higher Criticism, but the disclosure of bis theme and his handling of it are always forceful and possess a peculiar charm. May he soon again enter our editorial rooms, copy in hand, and long continue to give joy to his friends through the columns of this periodical, which owes its prolonged life and vitality so much to him,- John G. Woolley Monday, April 29, the Anti-Saloon League cabled to Hon. John G. Woolley of Chicago a call to come to Honolulu as Superintendent and Counsel of the League with full liberty to devote what time he might think best to general law practice. This was done in response to information that Mr. Woolley had dc- �6 cided to resume his former vocation as a counsellor at law and was inclined to a permanent view favorably Honolulu home. A reply is expected at an early day stating that the invitation has been accepted and that Mr. and Mrs. Woolley with one son will soon be on their way. Honolulu is to lie congratulated' upon the prospect of securing so distinguished a citizen of the United States to take Dp his permanent abode here. Some twentyfive years ago Mr. Woolley was practicing law in Minneapolis and had succeeded in climbing to the enviable position of one of the best known and most successIn ful lawyers of the then northwest. 1881 he was prosecuting attorney of that city. In 1886 r.- was practicing law in New York City. In 1888 he surrendered his business to take up cudgels against the saloon and soon became the accredited and most widely known spokesman of the Prohibitionists of ihe Union. In 1900 he was the candidate of the Third Party for President of the United States. As an orator he is a man of remarkable power and has been sought by the organized enemies of the saloon as an advocate in all the principal English-speaking cities of the world. He is equally well known as an author and editor. Fof many years he conducted "The New Voice." Latterly bis affiliations have been more closely with the Anti-Saloon than the Third Party Prohibition movement. Experience has mellowed him and removed' the bitterness that once used to characterize bis pttUk utterances, lie is a militant Christian, a lover of righteousness and a fighter for every good cause. He will mightily strengthen the local campaign for civic betterment in these Islands. The coming of Mr. and Mrs. Woolley is, we believe, prophetic of what we may expect during the next twenty years. As we succeed in standing for righteousness in our government, making over our churches into servants of (rod's Kingdom, and curtailing the power of the saloon until the drink evil is expelled from this Paradise, we shall attract large numbers of people who yearn for a perfect climate with a social system at once just and brotherly to all men. If we can only keep out the caste spirit and the demon of race prejudice, welcome East and West to equal privileges of citizenship, take from each the best that each has to give anil incorporate the genii 1 gentleness of the people of the Pacific Mid-Sea, Hawaii will become one of the most unique, most attractive, populous, prosperous and influential centers on the globe. Why not make it so? We can if we will. To association in the fight for this ideal we welcome Mr. John G. Woolley and his family. THE FRIEND.

The young man has good in him and ; we still hope that he will pull out of the connections which drag him down. The pleas made against both the Primary and Local Option measure bySenator Chillingworth deserve a moment's consideration. The argument in brief is that the Hawaiian voter cannot be trusted.

The Ter- �8 ritory does not yet grasp in all its meaning the value of Local Option. This was made evident in" dealing with the Hawaiian members of the Lower House. They yielded a glad support as soon as its sound American features were explained. Although there is already large public backing for the measure, it should have the pressure of still stronger public opinion behind it. The fight in the Legislature has been a splendid propaganda in its favor. During the ensuing two years the Anti-Saloon League will see to it that all the voters of the Islands are enlightened as the Representatives have been, Then we may look for such a triumphant movement in its favor in 1909 that there will be no subsequent reaction. So the present issue only postpones the inevitable result. We confidently expect this two years hence, but it will make no difference in our fighting spirit if it should take fifty. For the advocates of temperance never give up. As the Wine and Spirit Circular in its now famous editorial remarked, "If the Anti-Saloon League is defeated at any point it immediately prepares for another attack along new lines, and when it succeeds it at once begins work for a more telling victory." The few saloon men who have prevented the bill from becoming law will fade out just as the present personnel of the forces opposed to them will. But there is this difference. As a rule no saloon man wants his hoy to carry on his traffic; he wishes his children in better business. At heart he is ashamed of it. But every fighter for temperance trains his boys to wiser and more successful warfare for the cause in which he believes with all his heart. We serve 'hie notice on the liquor men that two years hence we will cross swords with them again, nay, we mean to keep up the battle every day between now and the session of the Legislature of 1909. We are glad to be able to announce that we expect as Superintendent and Counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu no other than that doughty champion the Hon. John G. Woolley. May God give the victory in this campaign of conscience and of ideals to those with whom the truth lies. Meantime let us all remember Howthat the fight is not personal. ever we differ, we are all brothers in the same great family of the Eternal Father, and though at times much plainness of speech must he used and definite political and social contests must be joined, all this is compatible with a reverence for one another as THE FRIEND. men differing in many things, but es- ready consecrated themselves to the sentially alike in bearing the image of same work.

Many questions were asked, and the present advanced condition of many of the Chinese living on the Islands, the delightful Chinese home life and the fine type of Chinese citizenship were brought At the close of the address, Dr. Lambuth, speaking on behalf of Christian America, said: "I believe that now is the time for the Christian Church of America to put forth special efforts toward pushing on the Oriental work in these islands of the Pacific. The various Missions Hoards and organizations of America should be led to realize the great importance of the work of the Hawaiian Hoard for the Chinese and Japanese of Hawaii, and should give every aid possible— I mean not only by their influence, but by financial support—that the work may be carried on more aggressively than ever before." Dr. D. Spencer of Japan said of the 40,000 Buddhists in Hawaii, that they are not now full of enthusiasm for their religion, but are open to the influence of a forward movement of Christian effort. A very marked interest was shown, by all who had visited Honolulu, in the Christian work of the Islands. The sermon on Sunday was by Rev. Dr. A. K. dv Blois of Chicago, from Luke 2:10: "Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." He began by saying: "I owe the choice of my text this morning to a name, one I had not heard before, but which is now among the list of missionary heroes, which I delight to treasure in my mind—the name of Hiram Bingham, that embassador from the Courts of Heaven to the people of Hawaii. As I looked at that memorial tablet placed in the old out. \V. R. coral Church of Honolulu, I thought of the time, long ago, on the 25th of April, 1820, when Hiram Bingham came to Hawaii, bringing the message of this text." He then spoke of the grand work of the missionaries in Hawaii, and in the world, who came with the tidings of great joy, with a message of a Savior, to lift men up. He thus introduced his great subject, the "Saviourhootl of Jesus." It was a grand and inspiring address. March .26.—Nearing the shores of Japan. Will be in Yokohama this afternoon.

Wednesday afternoon, March 13, the community received the not unexpected tidings that Mother Castle had passed away. The closing of a life so long and intimately connected with all that is good in the development of Hawaii cannot fail to excite mote than ordinary interest. Her life was full of suggestion to all. Her death was the peaceful close of a finished career. Mary 1 enney was born in Plainfield, a little farming community in Otsego County, New York State. Her parents, Levy Tenney, and his wife, Mary (Kingsbury), with the two children born in Sudbury, emigrated from Southern Vermont about 1813 to what was then the promising West-Central New York. He was a stern Puritan in religious belief, a man of forceful mind and character. His wife was an intellectual woman and a devoted, active, earnest Christian. With such quali- ties, they soon occupied a position of influence in the community. Mary was born October 2(>, 1819, and her early life was quietly spent among the hills surrounding the home. She was fourth in a family of nine children, all but one of whom are now dead. The village schools afforded a common school education, but this was not enough to satisfy either the parents or children, and several terms were spent in seminaries elsewhere. About 1836, after the marriage of her eldest sister, Ange-I'iie, to S. N,. Castle, and their departure for the mission field of the Hawaiian Islands, Mary left home and went to Deerfield, Massachusetts, and entered the academy. It was a school of high reputation at that time, and it was there, probably, that she received the substantial basis of her school-acquired knowledge. The great financial distress and disasters of 1837 evidently compelled her to leave the Deerfield Academy, and she returned to Plainfield and lived quietly with the family for several years, part of the time teaching in the district school. I,n the fall of 1841 she accompanied her invalid sunt, Miss Jeiiidah Kingsbur)', to Columbus, Georgia, giving devoted care to her, until she died in the spring of 1842. Miss Kingsbury was a woman of rare intellect, education and attainments, a thinker and accomplished writer. Her influence proved a strong mental stimulus to the young country girl, and she resumed her studies with the view of preparing herself to teach in the higher schools. Death changed all these plans; at that time, also, S. \\ Castle returned from Hawaii to the States with his motherless little daughter. He offered his ''and to Mary, inviting her to become ''is wife and companion in Hawaii, his chosen field of missionary labors. Her letter accepting his offer is a very touching picture of her mental state at that time. She sadly and humbly doubted her fitness to become a missionary. I'he lofty character of that work, as she conceived it, seemed to be something beyond bet, ami which she was unworthy to 1 nthrtake. Returning north to her childhood's home, she was married ( letobcr 13, 1842, in West Exeter, New York, a mile or two from her birthplace! and the start was soon made on the long voyage to Honolulu, bringing back the little daughter of her sister Angeline. In Honolulu, from her arrival in May, 1843. till i8()2, much of her time was necessarily occupied in the bearing and training of a large family; besides which she had special duties as hostess, for her husband, as secular agent of the American Hoard, was expected to entertain many of the guests of the Mission. In fact, most of the mission families in Honolulu very nearly kept open bouse, for visitors were many in those days. The children born of this marriage were Samuel. Charles \lfred, Harriet \ngeline (now Mrs. 11. ('. Coleman), William Richards, George Parmelec, Albert Tyler, James Hicknell, Caroline Dickinson (now wife of Rev. W. 1).

(Inly once during the li ng period of residence in Hawaii—(l4 years, almost —did she re-visit the land of her birth. In July, 1877, with Mr. Castles she went to America and was absent about two years and a half. She had been hungry, Pout with longing sometimes, to again see and be with her own, and, this wish gratified, only those who saw her with friends there can understand how much it meant to her: she was content and happy to return here and live out her days. Those who have been associated with her in religious, benevolent and educational work can best testify to the value of what she did. Her whole heart, to the day of her death, wa" enlisted in the work for which she came to Hawaii. It came to her mind always ahead of, and more important than, any other concern. At first, her time and energies were devoted to helping and improving the condition, physical and spiritual, of the native Hawaiian. Then, as changing circumstances brought those of other nations to our shores, her sphere widened, and Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Europeans, all, were embraced in her plans for helping and elevating mankind. A severe attack of illness in the latter part of July, 1904, so weakened the remaining three years of her life that she was unable personally to attend to the duties she loved, but, in the midst of physical weakness, her mind still retained its 11 grasp mi the main objects of her life, some time in 1817, gives a vivid picand her interest continued to the end. ture of some of these influences.

It is interesting to note that, in order to receive the appointment as a missionary of the American Board, she procured a certificate from the Church in Columbus, Ga. "AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF MRS. CASTLE." For several years after coming to Hawaii the old questions about change of heart, forgiveness of sin, and love of the Father were a heavy weight to her. She spent many hours in prayer, reading and struggling with her own heart. Hut peace did not come. She read much, and, amid her many cares, found time to get an intimate acquaintance with grave theological problems which were then agitating nun through all the Christian world. The "Oberlin Evangelist" was for many years familiar reading matter in the house, and she entered deeply into the yearnings for holiness and perfection so much written of in that sheet. The writings of Fenclon, the sermons of Bossuet, the life of Madame Guyon, Upham's "Interior Life," and similar works, produced a deep impression on her mind. The misery caused by sin ; its dreadful and, to her, apparently undeserved effects on innocent women and children; the questions of punishment, justice and mercy, caused her untold suffering. Her agonized and constant prayer for light and peace and a certain ground for faith, seemed never answered. For years her face was wan and sorrowful. The internal struggle was never at rest and she was not allowed the peace she so earnestly desired. Those who did not understand thought she was growing misanthropic, but the influence of the books she had read opened a new current of religious thought, time brought her to a new which in world of life and liberty. After a while she read less of what others thought and did— others who were perhaps in as deep darkness and whose minds were struggling as much as her own—and read lore constantly of the life of Jesus, dwelling more on his own words. It was then that she came fully into the iight; and with the light came peace. She felt that the love of Jesus was allsufficient. She ceased to struggle for the mental assurance that she was "perfect, even as God is perfect," and was satisfied to let the law of love be the guiding inspiration of her life. It was enough to live by that rule, though she well recognized that she must fail to reach her ideals, not because of wrong intentions, but on account of human frailty. What that light and peace, illumined with the love of Jesus, meant to her, how it blossomed into the beautiful life of the final years, only those know who were with her constantly. Hut all her and friends companions in the Churches and elsewhere saw and noted the change and felt the purity, peace and love which until the end were the mainsprings of her life's conduct. We who arc left must always feel the influence of her beautiful life. Does not such a record make life more worth the living? W. R. C. ADDRESS OF REV. WALTER FREAR. IN MKMORAIM OK MRS. MARY T. CASTLE. As this service must be brief, my words must be few. There can lie no adequate expression of the appreciation and affectionate regard in which our Mother Castle is hold by us all. Wo can add nothing to the honor she already has in our hearts. This privilege of making the address on this occasion comes to me because 1 was so long her pastor in former years. Pardon then just a personal word. Ity this privilege I am carried back in precious memories as I coulil scarcely bo in any other way, and 1 want to testify that she was ono of those who did so very much to brighten nnd cheer that pastorate of a quarter of a century ago. During it all she was near as a neighbor and still nearer bb a friend. She was always sympathetic, responsive and helpful in every effort for the good of the church and the community antl for tho advancement of the king tlo in. We all feel that it has been a great blessing to us antl to many that she has been spared so long, in that apart from all that she has done she herself has been like an abiding benediction upon her children and upon the whole community. Kulogy is not at all in my thought and we know it would be farthest from her wish. What most of all we want, and she herself would desire is, that her influence should eon sinue to live for good in us; for we do live each ntlier. We write our lives on eitcli other's hearts, mill our friends livi in UH after they are gone. It was a title note that sounded in the harmonics of Paul's experience when he said: "He ye followers of me even as I also am of Christ," ami when he Haiil, "Me followers of tlieia who through faith ami patience have inherited the promises." 1 know of nothing therefore more BtUag on this occasion thun that we slmnl,l open our hearts to a few lessons from her char acter anil life. I mean special lessons that come from marked qualities in her personal on in ity. 1 will mention but three. First, though the mention of it may s.unc what surprise you, is the lesson of purity. This is a superlative tpiality in the spirit and character of beings like ourselves, sin stained ami impure. Pure in miml, pure in heart, pure in hoily, what more beautiful thing coulil lie said of one living in such a life, uml so conditioned as is this of ours. The practical .lames says, as if it were a primal thing: "l''irst pure, then peaceable. The loving John says: "lie that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as lie is pure." Paul as fixing the ultimate end tells us that I'hrist gave himself for us to purify unto himself a peculiar people. More than all, our Huvinr himself says, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Pure in heart shall see Hod. Mow much it means. During the years of my near acquaintance with Mother Castle she impressed me as having in rure degree this refined purity of spirit. 1 do not mean at all that in any sense technical or historical she was what some might call puritanic, bound to formal observance and to restrictive narrowness, but there was in her this refined quality of spirit purity. In unusual degree she was clsun in heart anil of a pure miml, freed from the lusts of the llcsh and the pride of life, from the vain desire, the empty wish, and the sel fish aim. In all the relations of life there was to uc seen in her this beautiful singleness and purity of spirit. It might not be quite the thing to say that she had almost a passionate desire for this purity of heart and Hie, but one thing is clear that the dross was refilled out of her nature until this purity became a warm glow and beauty in her character. I.ct us learn this lesson from her and strive to be pure as she was. The next lesson that we may well learn from our beloved and venerated mother, ia that of peace. First purity, then peace. It is not placid ity or serenity, or evenness ami pcnceahlcnesß of disposition uml temperament that is meant. It is the peace of did. It is the rich legacy which Christ left to his disciples, when in his last words he said: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you."

The beauty marks of it, I am told, were on �THE FRIEND. her face, us the cold form laid upon the couch after the spirit has passed to the better home. The memory of this, her peace, will abide with us. It was a fruit of the spirit. It was the gift of Christ. May this blessing so joyously seen in her lead us likewise to seek it if we have it not. A third, prominent ami dominating quality in the character and life of Mother Castle was love. It is in this respect especially that these should come to us from her abiding lesson. Purity, peace and love, and the greatest of these is love. Love is the very essence anil snul of Christian character and life. Faith shall pass into sight, and hope into fruition, but love übideth It never faileth. forever. It is the final, finished, perfected, fruitage of Christ's redeeming work in us. Love is of (iod, and Cod is love. It is in us the fuddling of all To love Cod with nil the righteousness. heart, and the neighbor as oneself is the ultimate of moral and spiritual perfection, To le constrained, in all the inner and outer life, by the love of Christ, who loved us and gave hinfself for us, is the acme of Christian motive. The Christ spirit in man is the spirit of love. His final word was, "As I have loved you, so love ye one another." In tliis respect the heart, the life, the character of Mrs. Castle had been transformed into the likeness of Christ. She learned of him what love is, and how to love, and loving as he loved became the rule of her life. This love in her was not. a sentiment. It was a principle. It was not si mere feeling. It was character and life. It manifested itself with Christ-like spirit in the motives, and aims, and purposes, and tloings and deeds of her daily life. It was the controlling force in her being. I have no reference here to the fnet that she was loved. She was loved dearly and widely. She had endeared herself to multitudes. Hut this was no part of her. It was not in her thought or aim or ambition. I mean that she herself loved in a Christ-like way—widely, it is vastly more central and vital in us to lovo than to be lovod, and she had a large place in this Christ-like loving. Her love was as witle as humanity, it reached out in unnumbered ways, known and unknown, in ministries large and small, sympathetic and helpful ministries, to the poor, the distressed, the discouraged, the orphaned, the homeless, the young, tho old, the heathen, near and far. Kvery man was her brother, every woman was her sister. Worthy appeals found an open door to her heart. She also loved wisely as well as widely. The orphanage, the home, the school, the church, tho Mission Board, institutions that work for tho permanent well-being of society and the world received the blessing of lovo from her strong and generous hand. There is a love that suffcreth long and is kind, that envieth not, that vatintcth not itself, antl is not puffed up, that behaveth not itself unseemly, and sceketh not her own, that I liinketh no evil, that rejoicoth not in iniquity, but in tho truth, that beareth all things, believeth a.ll things, hopcth all things, endureth all things. This love she had in her richly, but she had more. She had the love that went out as tho Master's did to seek and to save, to educate and enlighten, to help and lift up the children of men and to establish the kingdom of righteousness on earth. She has lived for much in her long life, but, tl this, her power of unselfish loving, could ue perpetuated in her children and in us all, that which would follow on in her usefulness would be more than nil that has gone before. It is a deep lesson in loving that we have to learn here today from this mother in Israel. In a closing word permit me to say that it. has bees such lives and labors its those of the venerated mother whom we honor today, and the influences that have gone forth from them, that have given to these Islands their best charm. The charms of mountain and valley and shore, of tropical verdure and bloom, and of gentle clime nre indeed rarely great, but it has been the moral and spiritual and social beauty and attractiveness that have been added to these, by, and resulting from the re fined Christian characters, Hie pure personnli lies. Sad the devoted labors of those who in the far gone years left the cultured home to bring the light of life to these darkened Isles, that have made them the Paradise of Had they been the Pacific that they are. left to be exploited in the interests of commerce only, had not the standards of purity and righteousness been lifted, had not the church been built, and the school and the home planted, and the Christian civilization established, all the salubrities of air and the grandness of nature, anil the riches of soil would not have made these Islands the loved place of abode that they are. Does it not behoove the desceiidents of these more than loyal Christian worthies, and all who here enjoy the fruits of I heir labors, to see to it that the good work of the fathers and mothers fuil not, but that the heritage they have received become increiisiugly glori mis. IN MEMORIAM. Old Honolulans recall with pleasure the visit to these Islands of Gen. and Mrs. Horatio Phillip Van Cleve of Minnesota some twenty-eight years ago. Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve were the parents of Mrs. William W. Hall of tihs city. The General passed away in 1891. Mrs. Charlotte Onisconsin Clark Van Cleve survived her husband until April r, KJO7, when she was called home at the age of 87 years. Mrs. Van Cleve was the daughter of the gallant Major Nathan Clark, U. S. A., and was born at Fort Crawford, Wisconsin, July 1, 181 9. At that time the name of the region was called Onisconsin, the form used by the early French explorers. She received this as her second name and retained it through life. Fort Crawford is now known as Prairie dv Chien. Her father was on the way up the Mississippi River to build Fort Snelling when she was born. The latter became her early home and gave her the right to style herself one of the "old settlers" of the great Northwest Territory. The Van Cleves, a family after the Rooseveltian heart, numbered an even dozen of children, seven of whom survive their mother, six of these being sons. Mrs. Van Cleve was a leading Church worker, deeply interested in missions and in every philanthropic undertaking.—Ed. 13 A SIGNIFICANT LETTER.

I understand that he has already raised about $28,000, of which $10,000 was raised in Belgium, his native country.

He said it Would make him supremely happy could he secure the means to care for a thousand lepers. His plan is to secure a piece of land on which to build cottages for the lepers and give the able-bodied ones a chance to eke out for themselves a better living by doing garden work. Many of the lepers are helpless, and must he cared for and fed. The Chinese government does little or nothing for them. He claims that ten dollars a year will support a leper, My acquaintance with Father Conrardy began while I was Secretary of I the Hawaiian P.oard of Missions. had met him at the Leper Settlement, and otic day received a letter from him asking for a supply of New Testaments and Bibles, for, said he, "My people are good at prayer and song, but they fail in keeping the commandments, and T think it might be helpful for them to read the Bible." His first letter to me was headed, "Dear Sir." I wrote back, Dear Brother. In his reply, he said, "You call me Brother, and so we arc, for our work is one." And this seems to be the real conviction of this brave, consecrated man, who is truly the apostle to the lepers, who is the most loyal of churchmen in that he is loyal to humanity. O.

She was one of those quiet forces to which in vision Jesus alluded when He said "the kingdom of heaven cometh not with observation." Hawaii is rich in having held this life so long. For she had many of the qualities which Jesus predicted <>f the men of the New ( Irdor. During all the years of its existence the Hawaiian iioard has had no firmer friend. Again and again when some far-reaching measure baited for lack of funds, a quiet message has reached the rooms, and with a "Thank Cod" the An new movement has been pushed. old Hebrew poet in singing the praises of the Ideal Mother chanted, "Her children rise up, and call her blessed." It is the picture of the power which the rare woman has of so impressing her nobility upon her children that the loftiness of their own lives shall best speak out her virtues. Mrs. Castle was a mother of this type, and Honolulu today is experiencing the blessing of being the home of sons and daughters whose public spirit, unselfish service and generous giving form the kind of a benediction dearest to the heart of this sainted woman. Toward Another Goal. Our last annual report "That They Go Forward" devoted its ninth page to making its wants known. A number of these have been quietly supplied in a manner not only to evoke the deepest gratitude, but also to astonish us with its rebuke to lack of faith. Among these "Incitements to Prayer" were two items asking for $250,000 endowment for the Mid-Pacific Institute and $100,000 for the erection of dormitories. The former of these is still out of sight, but Mrs. S. C. Allen has given $5,000 towards the school site and Mrs. J. B. Atherton has contributed $35,000 towards a dormitory for Kawaiahao as a memorial of her husband, late President of the Hawaiian Board. Already plans are being discussed and building operations will soon be under way. Just whence the remaining $65,000 are to come is a conumdrum, but we believe it will be forthcoming in due sea- �4 son. Meantime the story of the future our crowning educational institution is of no little interest. One year ago the Hawaiian Hoard decided to purchase the land of Kapahufu, embracing some 300 acres. It was a princely domain and would have constituted the noblest school site in the Islands. But difficulties over details, coupled with the conviction that the Mid-I'aeific Institute could scarcely hope for funds sufficient to develop all the possibilities of such a commanding location, led to a reconsideration of the decision to secure this property. Every other possible location in and about Honolulu was most patiently canvassed. Finally all were narrowed down to a site in beautiful Manna Valley, adjoining College Hills. Here some 7,~ acres of undulating land suitable for the varied needs of the school, and affording a natural division for the boys and girls departments, were found and promptly purchased by the Board. There is a fine spring of water on the premises, which should yield at least 100,000 gallons per day. The two entrances are but a block from the College Hills electric line. Inspiring views of mountain and sea are commanded from the higher points. The school will have room for its agricultural and dairy features, in addition to ample playgrounds. Through the generous cooperation of the Castle Instate it was possible for the Hoard to acquire this property by cash purchase. The Estate offered to buy the land upon which Kawaiahao now stands in order to add it to the grounds of the Castle Home. This will tend to preserve to all time the integrity of Honolulu's missionary center. The sum derived by the Hoard from this deal, together with the $18,000 realized from the sale last year of the North Pacific Missionary Institute grounds to the Methodist Church and Mrs. Allen's gift, a little mure than covered the purchase price of the new school site. The friends of the Board are singing hallelujah over this large forward step towards the consummation of their plan for a great international Christian institute of learning in the strategic center of the Pacific World site of this The Bosworth Campaign. I.ike its central figure, it was a quiet movement devoid of all advertising outside of a simple postal card invitation sent to one thousand men and the usual press notices.

Careful enlightenment of opposing members has followed and the present likelihood is that in the Senate the appropriation will be voted and that subsequently the House in conference committee will acquiesce. If this be done the way will be clear to organize �6 a library that shall be a credit to the Territory. Inasmuch as the trustees are given power to fnake agreement with any other Library Board, it is possible that the existing Honolulu Library may be drawn into the scheme.

One of the most effective sessions of the Association was that in which. after reading the report of Paia Foreign Church, he called upon the pastors to ially to the support of Maunaolu. This appeal set the ball rolling, and one after another Messrs.

Of course, all this has stirred the enmity of some who battened on the loose system of other days, but the results evidenced in repaired Churches, promptly-paid salaries, comfortable parsonages, a happier and more effective ministry, are so overwhelming that the few grumblers have no audience. The missionary enthusiasm of the Christians in consequence is rising higher and higher. Maui will probably be entitled to a Corporate Membership in the American Board this year, or the next at the farthest, as a direct result of its determination to have every Church give something annually to foreign missions.

The first collection was then taken in the new edifice and was set apart by prayer for the work of the Hawaiian Board. Next followed the sermon by Mr. Scuddcr and the singing of "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," by Miss Ormcrod, with the closing devotions. The occasion was most inspiring from begin- ning to end.

PLATCEHOTRIGFNHE MOON—WAS THEPACIFIC IT PICKERING'T OCEAN? S HEORY. (ByB ES. ishop.) It may be remembered that Hawaii was visited in 11,105 by Prof. \Y. 11. Pickering, who has made a specialty of subjects relating to the moon. He recently published an article embodying his observations of Hawaiian volcanoes, comparing them with craters observed in the moon. Now Dr. Pickering has just issued a later pamphlet Upon "The Place of Origin of the Moon." This has especial interest for dwellers in Hawaii, because he assigns the location of the moon's origin to the present area of the Pacific Ocean. He supports• this theory by strong considerations. A plausible case seems to be made out for it. the substance of which it is now sought to present to the Hawaiian public. It may be observed at the outset that we of Hawaii need not apprehend therefrom any imputation of lunatic tendencies, because all the lima element is supposed to have been withdrawn from the Pacific, leaving only what is sane. The opening sentences are as follows: �THE FRIEND. 8 "lii 187(1 Professor George H. Darwin propounded the view that the moon formerly formed a part of the earth. That it was originally much nearer to the earth than it is at present, and is slowly receding from us, was dearly shown by bis equations. After considerable discussion, his conclusions have been accepted by the great majority of astronomers, although many of the geologists do not view them with favor." It is conceived that the fission or disruption of the moon from the earth took place after the planet had condensed to substantially its present solidity and density. In a more expanded condition it would have lacked the high speed of rotation calculated by Darwin, about four hours, and with it lacked the centrifugal force necessary to Ming off the satellite from its pro* tubcrant equatorial region. At that stage of the earth, as now, a solid crust would already have formed upon the surface of the very ellipsoidal globe, while the interior would have been in a viscid or liquid condition, as now. except as solidified by 'I lie temperature of the pressure. crust would have been, though not incandescent, too high for water to rest upon its surface. "The specific gravity of the earth as a whole is 5.0. That of the surface material ranges in general between 2.2 and .2, with an average of 2.7. The specific gravity of the moon is 3.4. This indicates clearly that the moon is composed of material scraped off from the outer surface of the earth, rather than of matter obtained from a considerable depth. At the same time, the specific gravity 3.4 indicates that the layer of material removed bad an appreciable thickness." The matter tiling off as moon therefore included not merely crust, but a very much larger portion taken from considerable depths, where the substance was much heavier. The mass torn off now forming the moon while of vast area on the surface, must have been even hundreds of miles in depth. It is evident that so large a body torn out of the crust and interior of our globe, must have left a very large and noticeable scar, even after the viscid interior had swelled itself up to fill the gap made, and to replace the absent crust, and that new crust being formed fr.im material taken from denser strata, would itself be above the average density of the other portions of the earth's surface. Pickering finds the expected scar the vastly preponderant ocean-area the Pacific, He conceives that now r)r. prior to the disruption of the moon, the present great Inequalities of altitude m the earth's crust did not exist. There were then no vast continual elevations nor immense oceanic depressions, as now. These all were a result of the great catastrophe which tore out a lartje portion of the earth's crust and underlying interior. Hut for this abnormal catastrophe, nearly all of our globe's surface would have been covered by uniform ocean, and the land area have been extremely limited. What the author conceives to have ensued upon the great disruption may be stated somewhat as follows: The moon's mass was torn out of that side of our globe now occupied by the Torrid /one of the Pacific Ocean. To fill and even up the vast gap created, immense drafts were made not only upon the viscid interior, but upon the adiacent portions of the solid crust which floated as it were upon the semi-liquid interior. The largest draft upon the crust was from the eastward. That immense section of crust constituting the present continents of North and South \merica was broken away from the great eastern mass and drawn westward three thousand miles to its present position, leaving the vast depression now occupied by the Atlantic t )cean. In support of this contributory theory of the formation of the Atlantic Ocean, the author furnishes a diagram (Fig. 4) which shows the peculiar correspondence of outline between the borders of the two continents, as if one had separated from the other: notably the correspondence of Cape St. Rogue to the Culf of Guinea. The author also conjectures that large drafts were made from the crust occupying the area of the Indian Ocean, whence came the Australian and the Antarctic continents. An argument of considerable apparent value is drawn from the higher specific gravity found in the Hawaiian mountain bases. The late F. D. Preston reported as follows: "It appears that the lower half of Mauna Kea is of a very much greater density than the upper. The former gives a value of 3.7 and the latter of 2.1." Pickering observes, "The upper half is clearly due to matter, chiefly scoria, which has been expelled from the various vents. The lower half is probably due to the slow uplifting of the former ocean bed." The argument is that the bed of the Pacific is evidently composed of heavier material than the rest of the earth's crust. It must therefore have been of later formation, from the heav- ier substances of the deeper interior. Altogether, this speculation of Prolessor Pickering possesses a high plausibility and, one inclines to believe, a permanent value. It will add interest to students of physical geography. GOSPEL LEAVEN IN CHINA. Rev. !•:. W. Thwing. every hand are reports of reform and progress in China. Current magazines are full of articles telling of great changes taking place in that vast empire. There is talk of Chinas new army, of her young men studying in the universities of Europe and America, of her new railroads and rapidlydeveloping commerce and of the possibilities of her securing new laws and a ()n constitutional government. There is to be a new China, a new Asia a new civilization is pervading the whole Orient. Will this new life and thought that is springing up in Eastern Asia l)i' a blessing to China and to the world, or will it bring strife and bloodshed and sorrow? Only as the roots of this growing reform and new national life are planted deep in truth and righteousness can one look for a future of peace and true prosperity in this land of China. All that is best in the present life and history and experience of the strong nations of the earth today has sprung up and grown out of the teachings of Christianity. So in China, as Christ is known by her people, and His teachings are incorporated into her new life, so she will become strong and powerful and a great and happy nation. And what of the advance of Christianity and the progress of the Gospel in China today? This leaven is at work and spreading everywhere. Since the Boxer uprising of six years ago, in which so many Churches were destroyed and many Christians lost their lives, there has been a wonderful rebuilding. Throughout the land larger Churches and finer mission schools have being going up. Never in th* hundred years of Protestant mission work have there been such great crowds gathering to hear the Gospel preached. Mission stations are now to be found nearly everywhere. I" many parts of China one can hardly travel a day's journey without finding a chapel or a mission school. Speaking of the Can ton province, a recent writer savs "There are Christian chapels and Christian societies to be met with everywhere.

We can do it only by studying the personal consciousness of Jesus and the corroboration His consciousness finds in the effect He has produced upon the life of the world. The principal features in the personal consciousness of Jesus were first a profound interest in men as men because of their tan liiimitiiitii.

The force of this virile friendliness radiated from Jesus through the ever widening circle of His associates until it has I cited the globe. Today it persists all over the world as one of the great characteristics of modern life as contrasted with that of ancient times.

Men and women have loved of this sense of His ability to show men who Him better than any other, have toft fathers, Cod is -land out in His'life. The first of mothers, children for Him, have died for ' ' these is the absence of any confession of sin. Altho the scan blight of the ages has been focussed noon His words and deeds, the world has never found sin in Him. lie is today as ever, tln> one sinless man. The second feature is His sense of being Sble to express (bid's forgiving love. Men now as weII as in every preceding genera tion since He walked in unliloo. only in ever enlarging numbers, find in coining to Him the peace of forgiveness. A third characteristic is His sense of being able to express Cod's judgment on sin. Both forgiving ami judging involve (a) the power of insight into the soul's life and (b) the power to feel and express God's attitude towards what is seen in the soul. Men find Jesus still judging their deeds, that is, they find themselves asking what Jesus would do i:i their places. His standards of conduct are crowding upon them. A fourth striking feature is His sense of leing able to judge men by their attitude towards Himself since He is a revelation of Cod. No less Impressive is the corroboration of this consciousness. For men recognize today that the test of a man's character is his attitude towards the character of Jesus Christ, not nceeesarly towards the Christ of Theology, but of the Gos'Hs. If he does not find his heart moving out wjfh interest in Him. Lastly, Jesus felt able to bind men into a great world brotherhood of the endless life. And lo! today we find this actually taking place. The great British Christian leader, Dr. Fairbairn, in his "Studies in the Life of JeSUS Christ," has snnimnri/cil the effects produced by Jesus upon the life of the world the corroboration in history jf His consciousness—as follows: "Jesus Christ is the most powerful spiritual force that ever operated for good on and in humanity. He is today what he has been for centuries, an object of reverence and love to the good, the cause of remorse and change, penitence and hope to the bad; of moral strength to the morally weak, of inspiration to the despondent, consolation to the desolate and cheer to the dying. He has created the typical virtues and moral ambitions of civilized man; has been to the benevolent a motive to benevolence, to the selfish a persuasion to self forgetful obedience; and has become the living ideal that has steadied and raised, awed and guided youth, nraced and enobled manhood, mellowed and beautified age. In Him the age* have seen the manifest God, the Fternal living in time, the Infinite within the limits of humanity; and their faith has glorified His mfferings into a sacrifice by the Creator for .... �THE FRIEND. the creature, His death into an atonement for human sin." What shall our attitude be towards this great double fact of personal consciousness and corroboration? 1. It is inconceivable that .lesr.s' personal consciousness should be a fraud; for the pure ethical system and the mighty redemptive force that have come from him forbid th s - supposition. 2. He was not mistaken. To be mistaken in these fundamental points means to be mentally unbalanced. A pure ethical syst -in and a great redemptive force cannot come from such 1 source. 3. He is true and trustworthy, Christ is such a revelation of Goil in terms of human life, struggle, victory, death and resurrection glory as warrants us in yielding to Him the control of our lives. When this is done the personal demonstration is made. We find out in experience who .lesus is. His words, "I will manifest myself unto you" prove themselves in our lives. .lesus is patient with the feeble beginnings of faith. You remember how the brigand on the cross moved by the quiet bearing ot .lesus turned to Him and with a kind oi grim humor said, ".lesus, rcmenil er me when you come into your kingdom." .lesus dc teeted the germ of faith and met the man at once with the pledge, "Today you shall le with me in Paradise." The earnest soul groping in the dark after God makes the deepest demands upon the hoart of Jesus. Patiently He will lead him into the light. 11. HOW JhSI'S TEACHM MEN TO FIND god. The greatest fact in the history of man is the consciousness of .lesus Christ. The fundamental anil ition of .lesus Christ was to stare with men his personal religious experience of the Father. He wished to share his deep peace, his profound joy, his mission and his works with men. It seems as though .lesus came to the laboratory of his own person I experience and urged upon men to seek and find as he did. How to proceed in thus experimenting to find God in one's laboratory .lesus taught with clearness. First Jesus expected men to find the Rather in experience with Himself as His disciples. He said "No man cometh to the Father except through me." There is no arbitrary spirit in this word. It is as though a Swiss guide should happen upon a lost traveler in the Alps and say, "I will lead you." .lesus also urged men to believe in (bid. What is the content of this expression 'believe?' .lesus means by it that a man shall on sufficient evidence take as his working theory of life, that God is a Heavenly Father present with him, ami shall act on this theory. That is what every scientist does in his laboratory work. He takes a theory on suffi cient evidence and puts it to the test by experiment until he builds up an experience of its validity. To believe in God as a Father is to act like a son and thus put the theory of His fatherhood to the test of experiment. Again, .lesus taught men to act as if there were a Heavenly Father by beginning to pray. Fdison says to the student who has as his working hypothesis the theory of (dec trie, force, "Go into the laboratory and try this experiment." Jesus did the same with regard to the theory of the Father: "Enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, and pray." Prayer is no form of words but a reaching out of a man's spirit to the great spirit of the Heavenly Father. Jesus always insisted that if a man be- 11 lieves in God he must obey. For a man to prayer is wanting nothing, but to be with act as a Son, to put the theory of FatherGod. Yet in the teaching of Jesus prayer inhood to the test of experiment means to do what he thinks his Father wishes him to do. cludes asking for good things.

These words of .lesus arc built upon the theory that uod is a Heavenly Father always present with us. They are a voice, "O heart, speak to the heart that made thee." Prayer is an appeal of the heart made to the Great Heart that made it. l'rayer is far more than mere asking for definite things. Prayer is the intercourse of the human spirit with the Great Spirit that made it. We do violence to .lesus when we view prayer as an appeal to God lor specific things, for then we reduce God to a mere convenience. No man can overestimate the great value to the individual of reaching out to the Father.

If (Sod cm put a thought into a man's mind acting through psychical laws, then permission is made for answer to nine out of ten specific requests.

If the thing prayed for is in His plan, it will happen. If it is not in God's plan it will not happen. But this when scrutinized proves absurd.

Some years ago the news was flashed over tl il.lc that two young Englishmen had discovered a fragment of piipyus in Egypt which contained five or six mutilated sentences, purporting to have 1 ecu uttered by .loses and mole or h s< different from any other known word of His. Instantly the attention of the world was feeunsed upon those two scholars and their tiny find, for the unearthing of a new saying of Jesus was of more absorbing interest to mankind than any other international event. Men today are centering their thought and study more and more upon this carpenter of whose words so few were left that one can read them all, I Suppose, in the space of a single hour. Central among them is the address that goes by (he name of the Sermon on the Mount. It is not so much a sermon as a lecture —a lecture on the New Order which Jesus announced He had come to institute. his trade. I'leces ot furniture made wit.i faithful care, houses which lie had built with holiest toil Had suggested to Him many ot His beautiful ideas as He ..ad wrought over them. A third impression wdiicn the student gains is the sense of autnoritative importance wita which Jesus Himself regarded these wolds, bin remember the paragraph which closes the lecture. In His intense moments Jesus was wont to relapse into the language of His trade. He did it at that crisis in His life when He led His disciples to face the question who lie really was, and when Peter moved by a sudden inspiration exclaimed, 'Yon are the Alesiah. the intense in spiritual exaltation of the moment He said, "Ah, Peter, yon have struck led rock at last and on this rock I will builn my Church, do here al the climax of this revolutionary addiess Jesus relapses into the language of His trade and draws |he picture of the rock founded character, the man so convinced ot the vital moment of what Jesus has been saying that he builds his whole life upon it. As lie outlined Hie contrast which He pictured, there may have Bashed before His eye Hie memory of the house which He Himsell ,11 ' a.id builded to for some friend, digging deep the solid rock, and of the fearful storm which had swept away so many frail structures, that lie had wondered how His work had tared until lie found it secure amid the surrounding ruin. The opening verses of this lecture show the kind of iiicn who are to have a place in the New Order. The lirst characteristic is traced by Jesus in ths words "poor in spirit," that is he who in spirit feels like a poor man. The Mohumniedans have one month in the year when from morning until night the faithful be liever takes neither food nor drink. At evening feasting begins. The object is that every man may know how it feels to be poor, to be really hungry and thirsty. The poor in spirit is the man who docs not want special priviand tying leges. The second characterization of the men of the New Order was "mourners." Jesus' sympathy had been deeply stirred by mourners. He Himself had mourned first His father's! death and then that of His relative and close friend, John the Baptiz.er. Everywhere He went He saw mourners, lie was destined to mourn His own life out over the sin of the world. But He wns not a selfish mourner. It is possible to mourn over oneself until all comfort is lost. In the New Order to mourn will be to find comfort from all the men and women of the Order, to awaken to the new conception of the Brotherhood of those wdio mourn, for comforters will be all about us in the New Order. 'I he next trait sketched by Jesus is meekness. Xow the meek man is not the one who underrates himself. Jesus was meek yet He bad a fair estimate of His powers. The meek man is he who wdth a clear estimate of himself holds himself ready to be helpful to other inch. Jesus here says that the selfish man must be eliminated from the world. When the Xew Order comes, the selfish man will be the dark memory of the past. Then Jesus adds that the man of the Xew Order will be hungry and thirsty for char BCter. The Pharisee of His day was hungry His counterpart and thirsty for reputation. of this age thirsts to see his name in the papers. Hut Jesus said that the man who is Hungry and thirty for character is fortunate because he is going to realize his ambition. I.very ideal of character which you honestly long after is a sure prophecy of what mi shall be. Hungry ami thirsty for character in others us well as in oneself. Jesus felt this so keen ly that when lie found character forming in an ignorant woman by a well side, lie was satisfied and forgot to care for food. "Blessed are the merciful." The merciful are people wdio forgive, not those who say, can forgive but I can't forget.'' "Blessed are the pure in heart." When the Rabbi went up to the temple to see God he idealised nis body. Jesus says, "When you go to see <toil the essential thing to do is to clean up not your body but your heart." Three (dements in this cleansing are emphasized by Jesus. To strengthen the sense of God one needs to see whether in his life there are any insincereties, whether he seems to others to be a better man than in his hcarl he knows he is. These must be gotten rid of if he is to have Jesus' consciousness of Gob Then again if you have a grudge put it away. If another's success troubles you, you must gel it out of your heart. Pray for that other until you learn to rejoice ill his success. The third meaning which Jesus had was unclean ness of thought. To these classes Jesus added the "peacemakers." He had in mind those who make peace between themselves and other men. Later on in His lecture He gave a clear picture of His meaning when He drew the scene of the man going into the temple with his gift nnd just before he offered it remembering a friend with whom he was not on terms of peace. Leave your religious duty, your socalled duty to God unfinished and get first in to right relations lo the other man, then go ahead with your worship. Jesus also was thinking of the man who reconciles enemies, who make peace between other men. He calls them Sons of God. God is the great Peace maker and they are like llim. Finally He adds, "Bleased are the pers I cuted, the men who are willing to stand by their convictions regardless of cost. You are ill good company, stand firm and wait for (lie Xew Order." Persons with this sevenfold character form the company of the Blessed Men, says Jesus. They are the salt of the earth, preserving it from decay. These are the Men of the invincible Good Will. Friendly men hold society in its orderly development. One of my students told me about a place in his State, West Virginia, called Troublesome Valley, where all the families were at odds. When "■ . - �THE FRIEND. a person dies in that valley his people have to send for men from some neighboring valley to come and bury him.

Over the lives of al ilniloneil men .lesus pronounced magical words of friendship and good will that raised them up to new careers of joy and purity. There is a certain strenuousness in .lesus, n certain sense of peril, of danger to le avoid ed by men whom self rules. What was His message to the selfish ninnf What did .lesus think selfishness to bet Selfishness is the refusal to take account of other men. By unselfishness .lesus docs not mean the ignoring of one's own interests. I'aul phrase. 1 it well when he said that selfish ness is tne refusal to look on the things of the other man; refusal, that is, to take account of the other man. The Xew Testament pictures two natures in every personality. It calls them flesh and spirit. Flesh is the inheritance from the animal past or a bond of connection with the animal present. It is that which says, "What I want I lake. The other half of personality, the spirit, is that which rises up into communion with (bid Browning's words are and other spirits. significant : " Rejoice, we To that which arc allied doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive! A spark disturns our clod: Nearer we hold of (lod Who gives, than of his tribes that take, I must Ii lieve. ' The spirit is the part which we have in common with mid a ml oilier men. Xow selfishness consists ill giving to the flesh the dominance. 11l Sin Francisco a fewweeks after the lire I was told of a young woman who in fleeing from a hotel put on all her jewels as the best way to save them. A man saw her, snid in his heart, "What I want I take," crushed her throat with his hands and took her jewels. Selfishness shows itself in various forms. There is a lazy selfishness which does not regard Others I eeai.se it costs effort. .lesus reI liked such in his paral le, "Thou wicked and slothful servant." There is a cimiinercial selfishness. I met :i business man some month! ago on my travels. We grow confidential while we were together and one day he said: "When you have business dealings with men you must take no account of friendship." Many of us know this is not true of what the I est I usiness is coming to Ie, yet it represents the ideal of commercial selfishness. There is also a selfishness of culture, of the college man who gratifies his intellectual tastes regardless of other men. It is matched by fhe selfishness of the society woman ignorant of the sea of wretchedness that washes up against the back steps of her palatial home. Still another form is the regretful selfishness which was that of tin' lich young man who turnen away sorrowful from .lesus when the Master tobl him to share his wealth with tic poor, lie was full of regret but he turned away. What are the consequences in the personality of the selfish manf We live in an age impatient of words. Men want to know facts. It is no longer possible to scare men with the word hell or to fascinate them with the term heaven. What are the facts back of these expressions! I will read you a passage from the works of a man with an imagination which if turned into the channel of pure literature might have rivclcd Dante: "The God that holds you over the pit of hell much as one holds a spider or sonic loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you and is dreadfully provoked; his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire—you are ten thousand times so a.ominable in his eyes as the most hateful and venomous serpent is in ours. * He will not only hate you, but he will have you in the utmost contempt. No place shall be that fit for you but under his feet to be trodden down in the mud in the streets." We know that Mr. Moody could never have used this language of the man of two ecu luries ago. Over our thought a change has conic which has aliected our mode of speech. We do not think of the poetic statements of doom in the Bible as literal. We lay stress upon the fact thai the only punishment of sin is the consequences of sin. We in this age do not speak of God sending men to hell, but often as sending themselves there. Our inquiry today, however, is, can we from the teaching of Jesus ascertain wdiat seemed to Him to lie the consequences of lite in the personality of the selfish man. To put it in a word, Jesus seems to have regarded the consequences of selfishness to Ie a damaged personality; not a damage put upon the personality from the outside, but one s If caused and from within. "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose himselff lie asks. So of the rich, selfish farmer, "This night thyself shall be required of thee, then whose shall these thing* fcef" The first great consequence in this damaged personality is the pain of loneliness. Sep iration is the dominant idea in Ihe mind of Jesus, "Depart from me," "Into the out r darkness.'' We see how this must be so. Selfishness is the contradict ion of friendship. No true friendship can exist between two selfish persons. If two such unite, siy a man and a woman in marriage, friendship in time vanishes. It would seem that ill many men, in selfish men, the capacity for friendship slowly decays. Paul here has a sentence of vast and solemn moment, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he Unit soweth unto his own flesh shall of the less reap decay." Corruption is the word used, rottenness, decay is the meaning. The capacity to feel interest in another person shall decay. Hence the selfish man conies to be left aioue, condemned by the violated laws of his own being to solitude. Jesus once shrank from this terrible consequence when he faced a great temptation to le selfish, Kxcept a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone." Alone! not separate in space, for i here is no such loneliness as is found in great cities by the friendless. Have you ever visited an insane hospital ward and seen the loneliness of the poor souls who dwell therein! One attendant can care for twenty because they have no power of cooperation. They are alone, but not separated in space. Huch loneliness must le painful because the one great instinctive human dread, is to 1 c alone. It is seen in the child crying alone at night. Through this dread men congregate in cities. And for this reason no punishment man knows is so awful as solitary confine- ' " ment. Vet there are men who wall themselves up stone by stone, day. after day, in a cell of solitary confinement. We do not have to say that God shuts them up, but by the violated laws of their own nature they have separated themselves from God and their brother man. Whittier, whose contributions to theology are, 1 sometimes think, not so fully realized as they deserve, sings: No word of doom may shut thee out, -\o wind of wrath may downward whirl, Xo sword of tire keep waich about The open gates of pearl, A tenderer light than moon or sua, Than song ot earth a sweeter hymn May shine and sound forever on And thou be deaf and dumb. Forever round the mercy scat The guiding lights ot iovc shall burn, But what if, habit-bound, thy feet Shall lack the will to turn! What if thine eye refuse to see, Thine ear of heaven's free welcome And thou a willing captive be, Thyself thine own dark janf fall, O doom beyond the Baddest years, As the long years of God unroll, To make thy dreary selfishness The prison of thy soul! Side by side with this goes the pain of sense of having nothing to .io, no purpose, no goal. For the chief motive for achievement is gone wdien one loses inn rest in persons. when wife and children arc taken a man oiten finds no more incentive to accumulate. Moreover, it is impossible to do anything worth while without the cooperation of other persons. Conceive yourself to le shut entirely away from all connection whatsoever with other persons and you will lind yourself where you can do nothing. So the consciousness of Jesus made llim cry, "Of myself 1 can do nothing. Hones tte reached out after God and His brothers. The decay of this capacity for achievement is pain of the keenest sort. For tiie soul's divinest instincts are first the capacity for friendship and second the ability to achieve. Therefore your child loves to exclaim in triumph, "1 did it myself." After finding Livingstone, when Stanley came out in Cairo, .liinlessness, the ne wrote: "No honor or reward, however great, can be equal to that subtle satisfaction that a man (eels when he can point to his work and say, 'See now the task which I promised you to perform with all loyalty and honesty, with might and main, to the utmost of my ability, and God willing, is today finished. Say i well and truly donef And when the employers shall confess that it is well and truly done, can there be any recompense higher than this to one's inward self I" The great joy of achievement to which Jesus appealed would seem necessarily to die out of the selfish man. Je&us describes such a man in these words, "He walketh in the darkness and knoweth not whither be goeth.' He walks alone with no sense of others left in the darkness—and he has nowhere to go. This is the New Testament picture of the doom of the selfish man. Over against the civilization of brotherly men, over against the career of achievement, stands this selfish man puttering away in his little lonely self-made cell. What is his ultimate condition t Does he become an idiot, insane? Docs his being go outf Is there in the great resources of God some hope for himf Here we cannot dogmatize, we find we easily go beyond our Maker. Hear the words of Tennyson— . — �THE FRIEND.

"O ' The value of the great Christian creeds lies here and here only—to explain an expert euce that it may repeat it ill others' lives. It is a record of what some men have found in their laboratory work, bidding others test Ihe experience for themselves. Any other use of a creed is full of danger. This method expresses the very genius of Christianity, which is to share real values with another. When a Christian comes to you with a personal experience, it is not in argument or to tear down, but to share with you what is best in his life. So Browning —■ i way, our chief, Best way of worship; let me strive To find it and when found contrive My fellows also take their share! This constitutes my earthly care; God's is above it and distinct. For 1 a man with men am linked And not a brute with brutes; no gain That 1 experience must remain "Needs must there be Unshared." Contrive mv fillmrs also take iluir share. There is a feeling abroad, especially among niir college men that a man must not me Idle with another s religion. It is a natural re action due to abuses, but at bottom a man must share the highest values that come into his own experience so far as possible. The brute keeps all for itself. But men must share. With what effectiveness a man's experience becomes helpful when properly shared! A student came once to tell mo an incident in his life. He had been delayed at a small station. While waiting he began to wish that lie could give a report to some one of his experience with God and prayed that he might. He went out on to the platform, fell in with a German wearing the uniform of a band, found that he had had a university training in philosophy and in the course of conversation the topic of religion was reached. A squirrel ran across the park and he talked of design, then the whistle sounded and he reached out his hand with the word, "My brother, I know one thing. God is my heavenly Father, He has forgiven my sins and I have profound satisfaction, for once 1 was without Him." The German took his hand with a man's grip and answered, "I believe there is something in this for you have found it in your experience." The great leaders of this early movement were wont to lay stress on their experience with Jesus. It was so with Peter who headed the Jewish contingent in that early campaign when he reached the point where he coul say, "Thou art the Christ." Jesus exclaimed, "God bless you Simon, flesh and blood never told you that," and lapsing into the language of His trade He added, "This report of inner experience is bedrock and on it I can build." �16 So Paul the great non-Jewish leader, fell he was commissioned to give a report, "Arise and stand upon thy feet; for to this end 1 appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a witness of tin' things wherein thou hast seen me." When the great crisis came in Galatea Paul appealed to his own experience, "It is no longer 1 that live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live iii faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." It is the same with John. Hear him lay emphasis upon this in his first letter, "That which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that uliiei w< beheld, ami our hands handled." 'then again a sentence further on, "And we have seen and bear witness." Still, a third time, "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you." Three times in as many verses. So much for the fundamental importance of this policy. Look at the character of the Christian's report. Its substance is twofold. First I have acted for what is to me a sufficient reason on the supposition that Jesus Christ is alive and I have given Him control of my life. Second—As a consequence of this nc tion I find myself experiencing increasing honesty, enlarging sympathy and deepening peace. The great fundaments of character are involved in this report of personal experience. There is no exaggeration in such a report for it deals with the beginnings of new character —sincerity, sympathy and peace. It is not necessary for a man to report perfection, but only progress. It is not always made in words—that is a matter of temperament. It is a report that breaks forth in character, In action, in life, a character that shall begin to show evidence of a likeness to the character with which it is assumed to be In contact. Thus the dying Baron Bunsen looked up into the face of his wife with the message, "In thy face have I seen the face of the eternal." Browning had this in mind in Saul: "It shall be A Face like my face that receive thee: a Man like to me Thou shult love and be loved by forever; a Hand like this hand Shall throw open the gates of new life to thee: See the Christ stand." Not many weeks ago on a Sabbath evening in Cnlunibus I went to see a friend of my college days, who for five years had served as a pastor, when creeping paralysis came upon him and for nine years his wife had been compelled to put food into his mouth He was able to speak only one word at a time with great difficulty and so faintly that wife or daughter bending over him could just catch the accents. Yet the power of Jesus Christ was so evident in his character and life that he preached to all in his little section of Columbus the message of Christlikeness with far greater influence than ever he did while in his pulpit. What are the results of this policy! All the spiritual forces of the universe often seem so coordinate as to make one public witness produce effects far beyond possible estimation. It is like the explosion of Hell Gate in New York harbor where the labor of hundreds of men and the mighty force of the explosives all waited upon the touch of a little girl's finger upon the electric key to coordinate them into one tremendous effect. Likewise, the forces of the universe seem so TIIK FRIEND. coordinated that when a man begins to give his report tactfully and gracefully, great results are secured. President strong, of Rochester University, once said that while a student at Vale another Student approached him with a remark that involved a personal report of Christian experience. "1 wish you were a Christian" was all ihat was said when the chapel bell rang and hey separated. Young Strong became a ChrisItian in conseipience of that word and both students entered the ministry. Years later they mid and rresident Strong said: "Now 1 have the chance to say wdiat I long have wanted to tell you. I owe all that I am and that 1 have done to you." "How is thatf" "Don't you remember what you slid to me that day at college just before chapelt" "No, I do not." Dr. Strong told him, but he could not recall it. In a large sense all the wonderful influence of Dr. Strong, felt with such power by numbers of young men in his lectuie room, are the results of that one report mane by his classmate. Last spring wdiile in California I heard Dr. Mel.o.m, of Berkeley, tell an experience o! his while in college. Cp to his senior year he was not a Christian. A letter came that made him thin) a little. One day he and a classmate noted for speaking to others al out Christ met. McLean parried the subject again and again whenever it approached. They reached his room and courtesy compelled aim to invite his friend in. More than once the man brought the subject round only to be put off. Finally he put the direct question: "Mac. do you ever think about your soulf" Then they talked. Soon it was remarked in the class that "Mac was serious." "1 have sonii times been inclined to say,' added Dr. McLean, "that if that man hao not spoken to me out of his own experience I should never have been a Christian." If that be true, all the wide results of the great ministry of Dr. McLean in Oakland and elsewhere and his present work as President of the Seminary in Berkeley have flowed out of that talk. The chief satisfactions of the Christian life flow out of the consciousness of being helpful in this manner. Some time since a group of Methodist ministers grouped themselves about one of their leading Bishops and asked what experience gave him the most satisfaction in •ill his ministry. He said that in his first pastorate at a time of special interest he and a parishioner called upon an old man and tried to help him into the Christian life. The final answer was, "I'm too old, but if you can do anything for my son Tom, for Col's sake do it." The young itunister asked his parishioner who Tom was and found that he was a lazy, good for nothing tough, hanging about saloons, ready for anything that might The pastor bring an occasional drink. sought him out at a job cleaning saloon cuspidores. He took the young man home with him, gave him a place to sleep, clothed him decently, went with him to meeting and there the man rose and said he wished he were a Christian. The young minister soon moved and it was years before he revisited the town. He came there as Bishop, was met at the station by this man, taken to the finest house in the place and after grace, as the family sat about the table, the man turned to him Bishop, it's all your work." and said: Never as pastor, college president or bishop had he found such deep satisfaction, he said, as at that moment. Happy experiences attend the beginning of the Christian life, but there is none such deep satisfaction as dwells in the experience of leading another into the friendship of " Jesus. "It is more blessed to give than to receive" does not apply alone or chiefly to money, but to the sharing of our experience of Christ wdth others. "Trebly blessed art thou, my brethren, whose JOyfhl lot it is to stretch thy soul in a soul that is dead as Klisha stretched himself on the dead son of the Shunamite and raise him up breathing and calling upon God." OUR NEW SCHOOL SITE. Eor one, I must express a tfreat satisfaction in the site finally secured for our much desired .Mid-Pacific Institute.

Before this issue will reach them, many to whom he has been "i stranger will have begun to regard him as a friend. The friendship into which Dr. Bosworth binds men is not of the momentary sort. It is his rare privilege to minister to the dee]) things in human nature and whoever enters the circle of those whom be thus touches counts him a comrade of the spirit life, one of the eternal friends of whom Jesus spoke. It is Honolulu's rare privilege to have one week of Dr. Bosworth and this we owe to Japan, where for five years plans to entice him across the ocean have been slowly perfecting. Japan is coming to be one of those parts of the earth that get what ihey set their heart upon. Steadily from the English-speaking world a constantly enlarging stream of men and women of international worth is moving over sea to give of the best for the upbuilding of the new national life. The going of the World's Student Federation to Tokyo is one more testimony to the drawing power of the Little Giant of the Far East. It is also another commentary on Jesus' promise, "To him that hath shall be given." Honolulu being on the road gets much of this inspiration which Japan is securing. There is no reason why every world traveler should not find it impossible to leave out of his itinerary these Islands. To make them the Magnetic Center of the Pacific World, they must become what God intended them for, a Stronghold of His Kingdom.

Fortunately he has behind him in the native race a constituency rarely fitted by its nature to contribute towards this destiny, for hospitality always has been a basal quality in the Hawaiian. Meantime there is a breadth and sanity in the plea of this message for securing a larger white immigration. For while Hawaii welcomes the Asiatic, she realizes that her unique mission of demonstrating to the world how naturally brotherhood between East and West can be incarnated in a single community will not be fulfilled unless something like 1 �5 THE FRIEND Record of Progress In another column the story of the emancipation of Hilo Boarding School from debt istold. Every lover of the higher life of Hawaii will rejoice over this achievement. The Friend especially makes merry, congratulates Hilo friends most heartily and trusts that this may be the beginning of great enlargement in the work of this splendid institution. Maui Island, too, is rejoicing. For the same good friend who so generously completed the Hilo School's deliverance has come forward most openhar.dcdly with a gift of $2,200, the purchase price of a fine lot in the very center of Waihiku for our fast-growing Japanese Church and School there. The Sunrise Christiana of the Progressive Island are full of joy and are rallying to the endeavor to collect $4,000 for the new meeting-house and parsonage.

Put this promises soon to be solved to the satisfaction of all. If some good friend should come to the rescue with a pledge of $50,000 provided $250,000 extra should be promised within, say, a year, this greatest of the Board's endeavors would be well established. Meantime in Kauai the Chinese under the energetic lead of Evangelist Yee Kui have, with the aid of a generous contribution of $50 from Mr. Aubrey Robinson, raised the $300 necessary to secure a parsonage at Waimea. Meantime from Kona a letter comes reporting very substantial advance towards the payment of the debt resting upon Holualoa parsonage. A gift of $50 for this object came from Massachusetts, the donor writing significantly to Mrs. R. P. Baker: "Yesterday evening I read in the January American Missionary Dr. Baker's letter and am glad to send to the treasurer of the A. M.

PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS. The large number of members of the Board privileged to be present at the regular meeting on February) i will not forget the moment when President Jones, calling upon Mr. W. W. Hall to take the chair, announced the decision of Mrs. Jones and himself to present the Board with a fine stone building close to the very business center of Honolulu for a future headquarters and official home. Much of what he said was of a personal nature and gave one more evidence of his dee]) affection for the work to which he has given so much time, thought and money these many years. President Jones was elected a member of the Hawaiian Board June 9, 1871, and has been subsequently chosen without intermission whenever his term of service has expired. On the resignation of President Henry Waterhouse, Mr. Tones was unanimously elected his successor, November, 1903. It is safe to say that no other presiding officer of the Hoard has seen such a large development of the work as Mr. Jones has been privileged to witness and t 1 stimulate. During his administration a new era of cooperation with the Mainland Churches has opened and the consequent growth, has been beyond expectation. This expansion has been accompanied by a (corresponding enlargement in our business department, demanding more room. When the Hoard moved into the spacious apartments in the Progress Block it seemed as though all the needed growth could be accommodated for some years. But the purchase of this building by the Japanese Government set us adrift, and at this opportune moment Mr. and Mrs. Jones came forward with their generous gift. The new permanent home of the Board is a two-story building on the northeast corner of Alakea and Merchant streets. The entire second floor will be utilized for offices and book rooms. Here will also be the meeting room of the Board. The ground Anonymous Contributors floor will be used partly for storage partly for rental.

Jones had ended his remarks conveying the gift, a number of members voiced the deep gratitude o ( all present and a committee of seven was appointed to frame an expression of the thanks of the Board for this noble donation. The letter of this committee follows: February 20, Hon. and Mrs. l'eter Cushman 1907. Jones, Honolulu, T. If. Honored and Dear Friends:—At its recent meeting on February first the announcement of your very generous and most timely gift of the business block on the corner of Alakea and Merchant streets, to serve as an offirutl home for work of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, deeply moved the members present, and in thankfully accepting this notable contribution it was voted that we the undersigned present to you in the name of the Board an expression of its gratitude. So far as its meeting place is concerned, the Board has for many years led a wandering life. You doubtless recall the days of its youth when its first home was the Old Bindery on King street, whence it moved to the Mission Depository near Kawaiahao Church, and then after many years shifted its habitat to the little frame building which until recently stood upon the lot on Beretania avenue close to the home of Secretary O. P. Emerson. The latter proving too far from the business center of town, the Board for a short time met over the Henry Waterhouse Trust Company, on the corner of Merchant and Fort streets. Thereafter two offices were in turn occupied on the fourth floor of the Boston Building, and now during a brief two months we have sojourned in the Progress Block. Driven hence, it was anticipated that it would be no easy task to secure permanent quarters, when, to our great relief and joy, your kindness vouchsafed a commodious, substantial home, close to the center of HonoWe feel as lulu's financial life. though, like Noah's dove, we had reached a haven of rest where we may abide in our future labors.

The characteristic thoughtful manner you have provided the satisfaction of one of the pressing wants of the Board.

The debt of Makiki Japanese Church has been paid. The incumbrance resting upon Hilo Boarding School has been removed through the generosity of Mr. George N. Wilcox. Mr. Charles M.

The closed kindergarten in Hilo is in very process of reopening. If we continue instant in prayer our Father will grant us all the desires of our heart for the enlargement of His work in these Islands. We therefore thank you for your loving thought of the Board, not only as expressed in this generous provision, but as made evident through many years of faithful service, arffl of open-handed benefaction. You have given yourselves, which is of more lasting value than any material donation, and we wish you to know that we appreciate the anxieties, the petitions at the throne of Grace, the many patient hours of attention to details and the abundant love so unselfishly dedicated to the work of the Board. That you may be spared to cooperate in the many enterprises wherein God has called the Board to labor, and may have cause to rejoice year by year in fresh triumphs of the divine Power and in the steady growth of His Kingdom here in these Islands and throughout the world, is our earnest petition.

This trait is as marked in the "Yankee of the Fast" as in his New England brother. It is doubtful whether any other race immigrating into America can show in the first generation a larger percentage of men who have risen from the poorest estate to large competence than is true of the Japanese of these Islands. A great, generous, over-prosperous giant like the United States ought to be ashamed of itself legislating against such a people. The whole principle of special exclusions is a false one. That our nation should guard against undesirable immigrants is granted by all patriots, but there, is no such thing as racial undcsirability. The undesirableness of evil character or of menace through disease is the only one that can withstand the scrutiny of Christian D. S. principle. ATRANSITIONAL PERIOD IN THEOLOGY. The Twentieth Century, like the last one, has opened as a time of storm and stress. Conspicuous among other features of disturbance, physical, political and social, is this one of serious agitation in the religious world in respect to doctrinal belief, especially among the evangelical churches. The old rallying standards of such belief, notably the doctrinal forms of the Westminster Cathecism, have long been growing unsatisfactory and untenable in the clearer light of the Scriptures. In the efforts to formulate better expressions of belief, great conTendencies have flicts have arisen. appeared of extreme departures from accepted teachings, as well as from clear statements of our Lord and His Apostles. Altogether, it is a time of painful unsettlement and conflict. But we wish to urge that this is also especially a time for the patient exercise of calm courage, of faith in God, of wise forebearancc, of loyalty to the Lord Jesus. It is not a time for bitter and agitating controversy, nor yet for careless swinging away from moorings, and, above all, no time for relaxing prayer or labor or faith. In every night of storm is needed the calm and brave mind, trusting in God, who rules the tempest. There can be no doubt that in due time the Lord will bring His beloved people into clearer and more restful comprehension of His truth, as well as into greater unity and harmony of action, such as has hitherto been sadly by needless controversies. This time of general doctrinal confession and unrest may prove to have been the needed agency and discipline required to bring Christians into harmony and unity. While awaiting clearer light respecting doctrinal beliefs, all earnest followers of Christ are peculiarly called upon to do 11is work in His spirit. His shining example is not one of the things that are obscure. That holy and loving life at least is conspicuously before us. Every Christian must feel called upon to follow his Lord and Master in His work of love and selfsacrifice. The world is full of sorrow, of suffering and of sin. Those evils were never so accessible to us as now, and never so clamoring for our efforts to relieve them. And never was there so much organization of benevolent agencies for relieving and uplifting darkened and suffering mankind. It will be by following our Lord in His life of loving service that we, His people, shall emerge into the full light of His truth. There seems to be no doubt that the largest element of deficiency in the Old Theologies was their failure to recogni/.e the pervading prevalence and power of the Divine Lord. That deficiency has at last come to be keenly felt, and, more than anything else, causes the present dissatisfaction and sense of need for change in statements if belief. The Westminster Catechism in its much-vaunted definition of God does not use the word Love. Nor does it anywhere make that central quality of His character conspicuous. It is His Holiness, Wisdom and Justice that are emphasized. But the churches have learned to recognize His Love, especially as revealed in Jesus, and to understand the need of a warm and great passion of Love in dealing with the sinful and fallen and suffering. It then must be by an ardent and active exercise of this Christlike temper and spirit that His churches will emerge into clearer light and escape from their present perplexities and divisions. Not hot and bitter controversy will bring relief and rest, but united and unselfish Christlike labors of love to remove social evils and crimes, and causes of degradation, to uplift the depressed, and enlighten the ignorant, and to do for the whole world those things which Christ has given His people to do. In such diligent, active and loving work will the Churches of Christ gradually emerge into full and united understanding of His spiritual truths. S. E. B. impeded CAUSES OF CHINA'S FAMINE. So much has been told of China's famme that a brief review of the causes of this great calamity may be of interest. The first and immediate cause of the distress in Central China is the extensive flooding of the land, brought about by unusual heavy rains. All over the country, among the lowlying villages and towns, are found innumerable canals and waterways. Not only did the rains occasion a great local rise of these many streams, but also an immense; amount of water came down from the northern province of Shantung. At the same time the great lakes of the province of Kiangsu rose to an alarming extent, sending floods over the nearby districts. The Grand Canal receives its waters from these lakes,, and it is said that one frightened Chinese official, to save his own neighborhood, opened the sluicegates at the lake and so sent a vast stream of water southward, which added to the already large flood. Many of the houses are made of mud bricks, dried in the sun. These soon melted before the flood. The fields ready for the second crop were soon covered so deeply with water that no planting could be done. Even much of the wheat already gathered from the first crop of the year was ruined Low-lying Country. Near the City of Huaiau is an extensive plain, 30 miles long by about 15 miles wide. Two crops are generally planted here each year. Much of the first crop, just ready to be garnered, was destroyed by the onrushing waters before it could be saved. And nothing could be done towards planting a second crop. Now the cattle which would be needed for the next year's plowing have had to be sold, for almost nothing, to secure food. Many families have sold their all, including the children, and now are facing starvation and death. The entire plain west of the Grand Canal, 200 miles long and 100 miles wide, has been entirely covered with water, and most of the wHeat, under this vast bodyj of water, have become rotten and useless. Many fields have now been covered from one to two months with water. The same story of flood, and fields and villages covered with water, comes from many places. The entire country for many miles around the great hsien or "city" of Antung (with a population of 800,000) is all under water. Here on �8 THE FRIEND the old bed of the Yellow River, just under the city walls, is the great embankment, built to keep back the waters of the river in flood times. Along its top runs the main highway through the country. In a distance of fifteen miles six large washouts can now be seen. Official Corruption. Why are not these dykes repaired? The officials say they have no money to spend for such works. That is why roads are not repaired and the dredging is not done in the Grand Canal. And so the great works built in former years are left to go to ruin because of the corruption and inefficiency of the government of the present day. The people starve and die because the Mandarin is usually looking out for his own pocket, and is no sufticient salary, little can be expected of administration reform, and the public good may be expected to be only a secondary consideration, from their point of view. Few Railroads. The lack of railroads is another important reason why a great famine becomes possible in China. When food supplies are short in one district, prices rise so quickly that the poor are forced to sell everything they, have, at ruinous rates, to get enough to eat. Soon they have nothing, and when food at last is brought from a distance they have absolutely no money to buy, and must starve or be assisted by charity. The few raiiroads in China, the bad public roads, the inferior methods of transportation, all make the distribu- are most industrious and constant in the cultivation of their fields and gardens. Far up on the sides of the hills, terrace upon terrace of cultivated land can be seen. But the numbers of people living in the country are so enormous that a failure of six months to secure a return from the land must lead to great want. China's cities are like great swarming ant-hills, the full of moving, busy, industri- streets ous, working multitudes. Passing in and out at every gate, from early morn until dark, a constant, almost endless stream of these toiling millions can daily be seen. Most of them are poor men, hard workers, earing just enough to give them food; and yet there arc men, like those of any other land, with their little homes, their wives and children, their loves and hates, desires and aspirations, men who wish to live and seek for something out of life. Their lives are valattble, for these countless multitudes are, in (iod's providence, some day to be changed, uplifted, and form a better, higher, happier China. E. W. T. MAUI MOVING ON. COUNTRY VILLAGE NOW UNDER longer "the father of his people." This lack of public spirit and maladminstration on the part of so many of the officials, is one great cause which makes possible such terrible conditions as are found in China today. Very often the official position is bought, with no real salary allowed. The ruling Mandarin, witli the prospect of a change to another post in a few years, in many eases takes little interest in the welfare of his people or the condition of •public works; his chief aim is to sec how much money he can secure during his time of office.

The people are so thickly settled in the central provinces of China that every available part of the land is needed to produce enough food for the inhabitants. Very little of the country is allowed to go uncultivated, except that used for the cities, the houses in the villages and the graveyards, so important to the Chinese. The people A year and three months have passed since the long-closed doors of the Wailuku Union Church were opened for services. The Church had been practically dead for several years.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. President—¥.. B. Tuknkr. [£ fj '-j"™' Vice-PresidentsAVc. Secretary—E. K. Liukai.ani. Treasurer—G. P. Castle. Opportunities for improving the Sunday schools of Hawaii arc so plentiful that one is bewildered as to where to begin first. It is one thing for the Executive Committee to plan work and another thing for them to do it. It can not be that our Association is not sufficiently organized. With our Departmental Secretaries to make suggestions after studying their different fields, and with our Corresponding Secretaries to project these suggestions into every Sunday school in the Islands, of whatever race or color, much ought to be accomplished. To be sure, we are all busy people and have much to occupy our time and thought. But this work of bettering the Sunday schools is the King's business, and if we do not do it, it will not be done. Organized Sunday School Work. It is well to keep in mind just what the organized Sunday school work proposes to do. The prime conception in the plan of organization is the recognition of the different departments in the work and the appointment of leaders and committees, who will make these particular departments the subject of prayer, thought and work. The following departments arc being worked to great advantage in every State in the Union: I. Primary-Junior, or Elementary. Some of the benefits this department desires to accomplish are: A Cradle Poll in each school. The pupils under thirteen grouped into three departments, the beginners three to six, the primary six to nine, the junior nine to thirteen. A separate room or screens for each of the three departments. Supplemental lessons taught. Each teacher studying some training course. Corresponding Secretaries. English— Miss Edith Perkins.

Pearcc, superintendent of training classes in Honolulu and at least one in each of the outlying districts and towns. With the system of examination and graduation with diplomas, used by the International Association, a great incentive should be given to this work. Everyone recognizes the value and necessity of welltrained teachers. It is the greatest factor in efficient Sunday school work. Dr. Hulburt's normal course is one of the best. 3. Home Department. The Sunday school should be carried into every home. There arc many who do not and can not attend the school session. This requires energetic Home Department superintendents and visitors who will secure new members and keep in prayerful touch with the old. There are immense possibilities for good connected with this line of work. Through its agency thousands have been reclaimed to the Christian life and the family altar set up in the home. Now the whole family is studying the Bible lesson, whereas before only the small boy enjoyed this privilege. Several of our Island schools are working this department, though there should be many more. 4. The Adult Department. Does it not seem a travesty upon the Christian religion that we should carefully nurture and train our boys and girls in Scripture truths from the time they are three years old until they are eighteen, and then see them quietly slip out of our hands and away from all Church influences, into the indifference of a worldly life? And yet this very 2.

The most successful features of well-tried Bible classes, such as the Baraca, Philathea, Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, the Yokefellows and others, will be taken and a widespread effort made to organize and promote adult Bible classes in all Sunday schools. 5. Temperance Department. The work of this department is to aid in the teaching of those special Bible truths which "'shall educate the children for total abstinence and for the destruction of the liquor traffic." There are four temperance lessons during this next year—one each quarter. By thoughtful preparation and cooperation these lessons can be made the most attractive and helpful of the year. [Tie temperance lesson of the second quarter is to be used as Anti-Cigarette Day, when the evils and dangers of the cigarette habit shall be taught. Pledgesigning is recommended. The work of this department can be benefited through the employment of such special methods as pledge-signing (much of the oldtime prejudice against pledgesigning is being removed, by having pledges signed which are to be binding only for one year); temperance book? in Sunday school libraries; distribution of up-to-date temperance literature and the holding of temperance rallies. 6. Missionary Department. The missionary spirit must be developed in the Sunday school of today or both the Home and Foreign Missions of tomorrow are doomed. Our Sunday school leaders recognize this fact and in another year there will be one missionary lesson each quarter. �THE FRIEND 10 All .over the United States schools having their ow.n missionary or station. In many places native mission* tries can be supported on $25 a year. This is within the reach of almost any school. Denominational boards are only too eager to cooperate with schools in supplying them with native workers. Miss Martha B. IFxson has just written a remarkably suggestive bookon "Missions in the Sunday School." It is an inspiring manual of methods. With these six departments of work-, vitally affecting the spiritual lives of the boyi of the present rind of the men of the future, possible in every Sunday school in the Islands, what giant strides of progress might be made? Until we can have a superintendent giving much or all of his time to the work of the organized Sunday schools of the Islands, let everyone lend a hand in volunteer service. Annual Convention. Now that the date has been set for our Annual Convention —May 25-June 3 —it was hciped that we might have the presence of a Sunday school expert from the mainland. Unfortunately, the World's Fifth Sunday School Convention will be held in Rome, May 18th to 23rd, and nearly all of the international workers will be there. It would have been a great incentive to belter work here if the Islands could have been represented in this gathering. Very cordial invitations were sent by the Executive Committee of this convention, asking that such a representation be made. Alas, the lack of money and of time forbade the acceptance of the invitation. For this trip two large steamers have been chartered. Stops will be made, en route to Rome, at The Azores, Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Pompeii, Genoa and Pisa. Many of the leading Christian workers in America and in England will be present and there will be twenty-eight days of unbroken fellowship on the steamer with many inspiring people. A side trip could easily be taken to the Holy Land, after the convention. The experience of such a trip would certainly add years to any man's life. E. B. T. tire TIDINGS FROM KAUAI.

Among the many kind thoughts which last Christmas brought happiness to dwellers on this green earth, none perhaps carried more joy than did a small slip of blue paper. It contained very few words. But it had an air about it that brought cheer with its every crisp crinkle. Three lines told the whole story and those three lines were, "Three thousand dollars, to the Hilo Boarding School," and at the bottom of the slip the all-important signature which converted the simple paper into pure gold was "George N. Wilcox." This paper meant the possibility of wiping out the debt on the schooi building. It meant that the racking worry was now relieved. With the good news of this happy Christmas comes the wish from some kind friends of the school for a few items on the history of the building. In the Christmas holidays of 19x13 the old school house was removed to the rear of its former site to make way for a new building. But the finances of the country tightened about this time, and for the next two years the school assembled in this old building now under the mango trees, while the site cleared for the much-needed new structure lay bare. It was not till April 17th, 1905, that the first load of lumber for the new structure was brought upon the ground*. From this day the work progressed rapidly. The carpenters began the work with a contract signed to build only the main part of the house and one wing. There were not funds in sight for a complete building, hence the north wing was to wait for better times. One month later the trustees of the school met to discuss the matter and it was decided to go on with the complete plan. On the sth day of May work on the foundation was begun. It was on the .24th of May that the school boys themselves desired to add their mite to the new schoolhouse in labor, as they could not do it with money. Enthusiasm grew so hot that it was deemed best to carry on this work by classes, in order that the schoolroom routine be not too greatly disarranged. Each class volunteered three days per week to the good work. And they did work as only 1 lawaiian can when the heart and soul are in it. The new arrangement of the building had necessitated a change of driveways. The boys undertook to make these driveways. The stone had to be dug and carted from the quarries on the Kaitmana road, and then crushed. While some boys took this for thc;r work, the others were constructing the roadbed or spreading the crushed rock. In this way about 400 feet of roadwaywas constructed, and 40 feet of culverts were walled in. Two other boys undertook the difficult task of digging and walling up a cesspool. Two carpenter boys offered to make a koa table for the new assembly hall, and another boy offered his services to polish it. Little fellows who could not get possession of a wheelbarrow went to the taro fields to keep the food growing while the big boys placed their muscle at the service of the new work. Other boys were tearing down the old dining-hall, as the lumber was to be used in the construction of the new cook-house. Still others were busy laying the foundation for the cement floor in the new dining-hall and in the lavatory. All this was begun and a large part of it was finished by the happy boys as their gift to the new building. As the term neared its close the regular classes went on as usual prepar- ing for the closing examinations and the graduating exercises. With the close of school came an opportunity for the boys to again spend their strength on the good work. Such boys as could be profitably used were hired through the vacation weeks to go on with the work on the basement floor. The hired carpenters were still busy with the house proper. Before vacation closed there was much to speak for their faithful ser- �11 THE FRIEND vice. A new cook-house was completed, containing a kitchen, servingroom and food closets. This was a separate building connected with the dining-hall by a covered veranda. I might add that a large stone and iron range was constructed by the boys likewise. The dining-hall was finished, so was the lavatory, the dispensary and two new rooms for the polishing department. At the same time they completed the plumbing and laying 9,448 square feet of coment flooring. In the first week of September of 1905 the carpenters turned the keys of the new Hilo Boarding School building over to the Principal. The old desks had been cleaned and varnished. Nothing new was bought for furnishing. There was no money to buy anything new. And we were happy to find that sandpaper and varnish had done good work. That is, it was good as far is it went, but alas, it did not go far enough. Each room had just a few desks less than were absolutely needed, and two rooms were left without anything. But there were old tables that were not good enough for the new dining-hall. Could we, would we, dare put those old things up in the pretty schoolrooms? We did dare, and they are there still. And now, with the debt paid off, we shall hope next to work for furniture. And it does not look so hopeless.

My sick son accompanied me, with the hope that his disease might turn to a favorable condition by the change of climate, also wishing to remove the danger of infection to the children under our care. It was my first vacation after twelve years of work in Honolulu. During the three months of my absence, the school was left entirely to the charge of Mrs. Okumura. On my return, it was a great pleasure to find every wheel turning smoothly. The children, understanding that my hasty trip to Japan was not for my own pleasure, but was partly for their welfare, behaved especially well, and were absolutely obedient to Mrs. Okumura. We feel very grateful for the love and sympathy of these children, and are thankful for the favorable test given to our school. The property on Punchbowl street, used by the school for three .years, was sold. In August, 1906, we moved to a temporary residence on Beretania street. This locality seemed to be unhealthy ten children left on account of ailments and there was a lack of recitation rooms. We are glad that the Hawaiian Board have arranged to move us to a better locality. We hope the coming year will find the school more prosperous. Notwithstanding our effort of exercising the strictest economy, we have more or less deficits. This is accounted for by the fact that the sum paid by each boarder is small, also that the school supports eight children free of charge, some of whom are orphans, while others have only a mother who is unable to render financial aid. We thank our generous, kindhearted friends who have assisted by liberal donations for this work and we hope they will see the fruit from their offerings. : 111. TlTl'S AND FIDET-IA C. COAN. It is not easy to select anything in regard to Titus and Fidelia Coan suitable for this occasion that has not already been in print. These are disjointed memories. Shall we call them "Jottings?" A childhood memory is of my father's faithful daily afternoon visits among his tlock: also the swarms of people who came to see him. In the mornings he busied himself in bis study, hut he never refused a caller, nor looked ruffled at any interruption. I never saw or heard either parent betray any sign of impatience, nor speak in unfavorable criticism of grown people before children. / thought grown people were perfect I During the early days, the untutored Hawaiians were in the habit of coming freely uninvited to any and every room in a house.

One time in Puna, where .. �THE FRIEND 12 fresh water was often scarce, he told his host that he might boil the sea-water 10 cook the eggs in. When the meal was prepared, behold the eggs all broken and stirred into the ocean brine! Scattered through Hilo town and vicinity are the small churches built in t he later 50's or early 60's, for the Sunday afternoon "apana" meetings and Sunday Schools. These same services had already been carried on for many years under the direction of different deacons, or "iunas." Six or more of the buildings still stand in the old spots. These four o'clock services my father visited in turn after the morning Sunday School, two preaching services and the noon lima meeting between them. Father Coan for many years made every babe he baptized who was eligible for "Cousin-ship a life member of this Mission Children's Society. He was a man of marvelous spiritual devotion and mental as well as physical stamina, "striving to do the right as God gave him to see the right." From 1838 to 1846 Mrs. Coan carried on a quiet, simple little boarding school for girls, not more than twenty at a time, in a thatched building in our yard. The people built it—the Hawaiians did such things with cheerful generosity. The beds were in the Hawaiian style and curtained off by mats in little alcoves. The parents brought food for their daughters, and otherwise helped to supply their needs. No aid was asked from the American Board. Sometimes a missionary box arrived around Cape Florn—"common-stock" great excitement among the Lyman, Coan and Wilcox children as to the division! Bonnets, skirts, and aprons could not go to those boy families, nor to the Boys' Boarding School; they stayed with us, and the Coan little girls had much fun "trying on" up garret before they were given to the school girls. Some garments occasionally fell to our share, too. My mother's teaching was of the most practical and simple sort. She aimed to train the girls to be discreet, industrious, orderly honiekeepers. And in the generation now nearly passed away, any traveler across country, noticing the neatest home (grass houses they were), the most civilized appearing household, the most modest interior arrangements, the prettiest garden, would be told, "That is the home of one of Coana Wahine's girls." Mrs. Coan's family cares and delicate health prevented her going on more than eight years with the school, but everywhere and always her quiet, gentle, refining influence impressed itself and bless- — Ed the women and helped mould their lives. Her memory is blessed. Two saints lay one day in 1872, awaiting the heavenly call: one, old Kaliloa, the other Fidelia Coan. The former heard the call first; her parting words asked about the other one. "Tell her we shall soon meet in the home-lani," she said. That same day they did, indeed meet. Their earthly resting places lie near together, the first two on the green hill slope that is named "Homelani'' from that day. Harriet Coan. IV. ClIARLES H. AND I.UCY T. WeTMORE. On a May day, in 1849, arrived in Hilo from "around the Cape" (via Honolulu) a tall, blue-eyed young man, with a wee little wife who could almost stand under his arm. This was the doctor for the outstation village, which had never yet had a doctor, and in which the early missionaries had formerly dealt out "by the book" the salts, sulphur, castor oil, and used the forceps at the teeth, and the lancet at the vein. The bride and groom took the house built by Father Lyman, vacant then, that had echoed with the romps of Wilcoxes and Parises, and would echo again with the voices of children and grandchildren. It was close neighbor to the Coans, whose young brood at once claimed friendship through the fence and cross-cut over the veranda, where the doctor was very likely to be waiting in ambush for a pounce upon the little friends, and a merry frolic. For oh, joy! he loved children, and found leisure for them. His kind face and smiling eyes beamed on them to his old age: and often has he been seen, beyond his seventieth year, in high frolic with his grandsons, dashing through passages and even under tables, to escape "the sudden rush from the stairway, the sudden raid from the hall." Of course, they were malihinis when they came here, and it was fun to the young fry to watch the initiation to the place, the people, the language. But the very funniest thing of all was that the little lady was afraid of spiders! She— why she was even detected by open-eyed children on their knees at prayers herself open-eyed on her knees, cringing away from one that was running across the floor to clamber up her gown! Spiders just loved to chase her. Presently the attraction of the house was the babies and their pretty ways and dainty clothes. All hand sewing then— not till years afterwards did sewing machines come, and then this young mother had the first one in Hilo. The babies grew up. The only son, a manly, helpful lad, died at about thirteen, the three daughters are living—one in the old home. The house was altered, enlarged and improved, from time to time, so that it now hardly seems the same place. But the "cubby holes" under the roof remain, such as are probably to be found in any story-and-a-half house. Perhaps, long, dark, mysterious, into which a child creeps with a thrill, and wonders when he shall ever again find daylight. Nc doubt in this day, trunks and household lumber occupy the spaces once allotted to coffee and pia bags, stores of Hawaiian curios, anil a collection of beautiful Micronesian corals and shells. These came in later years when the doctor or himself went in 1885 with a daughter as a delegate from Hawaii to Micronesia, and have now found places in cabinets, etc. Mrs. Wetmore in early years was slight and in delicate health, but she was ever strong in every good work. In her parlor she gathered a little singing schoo'; in another room taught for several years a small school of part-Hawaiian children. Only two years ago, one or two of those bright girls, now grown old, looked in with affectionate remembrance upon the little room where "Kauka wahine" helped them towards the usefulness and honor that have marked their adult years. Dr. Wetmore was an ardent admirer of natural beauty, and even in latest years a student in some branch or other of THE GROWING FAMILY NEEDS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA The cost hitherto lias been so peal that although CHILDREN ARK FOREVER WANTING to consult one _1 llieir School work, leu can afford a set.

Wells an excellent literary and educational study is zealously undertaken. "The Parly Days of French History" is the subject for the next few months. The Churches of the Maui Association have been generous in their gifts to missions this past month. Over one hundred dollars have been paid the agent to divide between the American and Hawaiian Boards. Churches that have made no contribution foi years have at the last Christinas season given generously for the extension of the Kingdom in Hawaii and the world. In the last few months the Hawaiians in the region of Haiku, under the leadership of Rev. Isaac D. laea, have moved their Church building from Hauku to Pattwela, at a cost of about $400. Offers of financial aid from large givers have been repeatedly refused by the pastor and his Church until the members themselves sball have raised as much as possible. The Maui Aid Association issued ten subscription papers, the money from which is paid the agent who settles the accounts of the Church. This some what novel arrangement of the sub■ scription papers seems to please both Hawaiians and English-speaking people, for every subscription paper is quickly filled. Every few weeks these papers arc returned to the Treasurer of the Maui Aid Association with the whole amount of the cash that has been collected. The papers are then checked up, and receipts sent through the mail for amounts of one dollar and over upon postal cards printed for the purpose. This system trebles the amounts that were previously given on subscription papers. The lluclo Church recently voted to deed its properly to the Hawaiian Board, with the immediate result that a friend of the Church gave $150 toward the repair of the building, which was added to a neat sum the Church had already collected. The Chinese Parsonage in Wailukti was completed last month, costing about $650, nearly all of which was There raised by the Chinese of is now a debt of about fifty dollars, which we hope some friend of our Chinese work will raise for us. The debt to Rev. John Nua of Wailukti Native Church, amounting to almost $400, has been largely raised, and the building of the Sunday schoolroom for the Church nearly paid for. This extra room will greatly facilitate the carrying on of a lareer native Sunday school in this Hawaiian center. The repairs of the historic Pookela Church, so dear to many former students of the present Maunaolu Seminary, and so closely associated with the life and work of the splendid missionary family, the Greens, are now begun in earnest. The Board, to which this property was deeded about a year ago, departed from its usual custom of not aiding Hawaiian and Union churches in their repair, and gave a handsome sum for this old Church. The action of the Poard was based upon two facts: the scattered membership of the Church and the historical associations of the old building, which was fast tumbling to ruins. Maui's generous giver offered his help, and the handful of attendants at the old Church have received new courage for their task of keeping up the services. Pastor Santos has bravely faced the situation and is doing his best to gather together the scattered members of his flock. At the monthly ministers' meeting, Rev. P. Y. Bazata has begun a very valuable course of lectures upon the subject. "How We Got Our Bible." Such advanced studies the Maui ministers greatly enjoy. R. R. D. Wailuku.
