T., NOVEMBER, 1909 Vol. LXVI Honolulu's Triumph. "Ten thousand dollars in ten days" was the motto of Honolulu United in its campaign for the new Y. M. C. A. building. $1.'57.7:?7 was the record achieved after six days of joyous effort, when the movement was declared officially closed. Since then other gifts have come in, raising the total amount contributed to $144,000.25. This added to the $50,000 given by the late Charles M. Cooke makes a grand total of $194,-000.25. This sum is adequate to all the needs of Honolulu's Y. M. C. A. building for the next generation. The campaign opened Monday evening, October 11. with a banquet at the Young Hotel, where some 226 men gathered to hear Governor Frear, former Governors Dole and Carter, Judge Woodruff and Sec30.00 retary Super outline the proposed cam880.10 paign.

Kalihi Settlement ivohala Girls' School Salaries Ministerial Relief No. 11 The Outcome. The result is bound to have a very large influence upon our people. Already a different tone is apparent here. For some time it has been evident that a deepening spiritual undercurrent lias been characterizing the life of this city. It needed a movement of the sort just consummated to bring this to the surface. It behooves every earnest man in Honolulu to add his influence to the rising tide of serious thought and purpose. People are thinking more of others. Unselfish service is in the air. Great wealth has come to this community and it is felt that if this be wasted in luxuries, or mere pleasures, or for selfish purposes of larger acquisition, Hawaii will miss its opportunity and prove false to its destiny. Our people are becoming more and more conscious every day that God wants to use this Territory for World Ends, that we have no right to live to ourselves here, and that in order to influence Asia and America we must make our wealth tell for the highest ideals now before the human race. That is the meaning of the founding of the Mid-Pacific Institute in three years with an endowment in property and in productive investment of more than $300,000. when to our most conservative business men the thought of establishing the institution, even in a halting fashion, seemed chimerical. That is the explanation of our new Palama General and Children's Hospitals, of Palama Settlement's unprecedented growth, of the completed Salvation Army Home, of the new Methodist Church, and now of this astounding one week's canvass. These are only the beginnings of what God means Honolulu to attempt and to achieve. Asia and America are yet to learn what the Great Artificer of History had in mind when He carved out of Paganism in one generation the first modern Christian state outside of Europe and America. It is- well for us to cherish golden conceptions of Hawaii's �November, 1909 4 THE FRIEND destiny. It is well for us to plan to educate in Americanism Christian leaders for Asia, to bring the best of both continents together in mutual sympathy and fellow understanding here in God's earthly Assembly most hospitable journals on both sides Room. Yellow us of on may prate of war the Pacific, but it is Hawaii's part to make such fratricidal conflict forever impossible. Let the devotees of physical strenuousness believe that by rendering Oahu impregnable they are doing this, and hence persuade the Nation to transform our fair Island into a Gibraltar. It is our nobler part to erect here a spiritual Gibraltar with armament of loving service that shall render a Pacific Ocean war unthinkable. This mighty conception and ambition are certainly taking vital hold of the mind, conscience and will of our people. Let the good work go on! Prince Ito. The entire civilized world sympathizes with Japan in the terrible news of the assassination of her leading statesman, Prince Hirobumi Ito. The loss affects mankind both because the Prince was one of the greatest of living public servants and because such a death is another mournful testimony to the prevalence of the spirit of lawlessness among men. It will take decades certainly to educate the people of all lands to enthrone law in their hearts. Human taw itself must conic to be synonymous with love before this triumph will he achieved. Prince Ito's life has been one of distinguished service to his nation, which he has consistently advised to live in friendship with its sister powers. While not in advance of his office-bearing fellow countrymen in his private life, his public career was unstained and he grew steadily in devotion to higher ideals of statesmanship. His crowning work was done in and for Korea, for he seems to have been animated with the lofty purpose of governing that dependency for the good of its people and not as a field of exploitation for selfish Japanese. It is too early to estimate the wide extent of his influence and the lasting nature .of his public services, but we are inclined to believe that when all is known and told Prince Ito will stand out as the greatest statesman of the Meiji era. As a man he was singularly approachable, affable and democratic in manner. A member of the Vale Alumni Association of Japan because of the honorary degree conferred upon him by Vale at its bicentennary, he was wont to say that it was one of the proudest moments of his life when he was privileged to receive his doctorate of laws on the same occasion with President Roosevelt, whom he greatly admired. Our deepest sympathy is with Japan and with poor Korea in this sad calamity. Jl Meat. If any denizen of this planet desires to become a vegetarian let him come to Honolulu, for in that case he will have all the power of the local meat trust to help him. Certainly the baleful effect of trust control and trust methods is clearly reflected in the local meat situation. On the mainland the so-called dressed beef monopoly never .dreamed of controlling the trade methods of the local sellers of meat. They demanded and secured the wholesale meat business of a large part of the United States but left it to the local butchers to cater to the varying demands and needs of private families. This was wise because there is a multitude of individual preferences as to cuts of meat, hours when meals with meat shall be served, times of day when meat delivery is most desired, convenience of payment, whether cash when buying or by monthly settlement, and the like. Some butchers find success in making no deliveries and carrying no accounts, their trade coming to them because of the much lower price at which they can sell for cash and directly into the hand of the purchaser. Others do a good business by precisely the opposite course. The great meat packers by keeping out of retail trade wisely give full scope to the requirements of these individual preferences. Therefore though now and then there is a howl against them as monopolies, the really great benefit they render by furnishing better and often cheaper meat to the people confers upon their enterprise the character of a genuine public service. Steadily the public by stricter government oversight is compelling the trusts to act more justly and in time the vast economies of these establishments which are regulated by Federal supervision and directed by the spirit of fairness to employes will come to minister nothing but good to the nation. In Honolulu, however, the meat trust, not content with a monopoly of the wholesale business, has invaded the retail trade, which it conducts with what seems to some persons a disregard of private preference. Again and again within the last few years parties have endeavored to open meat-shops whose motto should be the accommodation of customers, but they have been unable to compete with the trust. The impression created by the retail department of the local trust upon not a few small buyers is one of contempt for their fads or desires. If a family dines at twelve, finding that hour hygienically better, it is impossible to have meat delivered in certain parts of Honolulu near the center of town in time to be cooked. Naturally a great trust cannot cater to individual tastes. That is the part of a retail seller, who gets his profit by so doing. Our meat trust rides rough shod over all these delicate human differences because it is bound to have all the profit, wholesale and retail, that meat-selling will yield. The result is that less meat is sold here. This doubtless is a hygienic good, though secured by unsocial and exasperating means. Meantime a trade that white Americans would be glad to cultivate is made impossible, many people are constantly and needlessly offended, and the day is hastened when cheap freights from the Coast will make Honolulu a glad market for mainland dressed meat. The remedy is simple. Let the meat trust encourage small markets whose profit will come from serving families to the kind of meat they want and at the time they desire, markets that will cultivate a habit of accommodation instead of the spirit too often suggested by our present meat purveyors—"lf you don't like our way, go elsewhere, even though in order to get what you want you have to move out of the Territory." Such a spirit is not good promotion policy. �November, THE FRIEND, 1909 The Shokin Ginko. The Yokohama Specie Bank, or Shokin Ginko, has issued a very attractive appeal in English for local business. This aggressive corporation has built itself up into one of the great banking institutions of the world with branches in many leading cities. It rather shames Americans who are just beginning to develop an international bank. It has shown a fine commercial spirit in erecting one of the most beautiful and substantial business buildings in Honolulu, where it will have the handsomest housing of any local bank. Its plea for a larger constituency by the promise of st/o per cent, interest on head office time deposits, is a strong one though complicated by its exchange feature. It will be interesting to watch this new development of international competition. Meantime we congratulate our Japanese friends upon this further evidence of their progressive spirit. Jt Orient and Occident. It used to be thought that one of the differences between East and West was the unchanging spirit and conservatism of the Orient as contrasted with the readiness of the Occident to adopt the new. It looks as though the Twentieth Century might have not a little to say against such a hasty generalization. Habit is strong everywhere and in many things, small as well as great, the West hates to change as well as the East. Witness the Torrens system of title registration. This originated in Australia, a habitless place where it was easy to atart with the best. Japan, up to that time one of the most habit-bound sections of the globe, adopted it at the time when it decided to introduce every improvement it could find. The United States, however, itself a fairly young and habit-free nation, has been wrestling with this reform idea for nearly two decades with very slight success. China, the hopeless old man of a generation ago, has startled the world by breaking a social habit of centuries and freeing the feet of its women. The next twenty years are likely to re-picture this nation as one of the most agile and youthful of reformers. A rather timid evidence of American conservatism in the realm of trade, where we are supposed to catch on to new ideas more quickly man all other peoples, is afforded by our laundries, which cling to the antiquated, disfiguring and not to say nasty habit of marking all garments with hideous indelible black ink. ofttimes ruining a delicate fabric by carelessly planting the repulsive hieroglyphics where they will show the most, and this in face of the Chinese laundryman's effective, clean and up-to-date method of attaching tiny removable slips of marked cloth to each piece. Why Honolulu white man's laundries so stubbornly refuse to adopt such a good thing it, is hard to toll. Enough other instances might be given to show that no race has a monopoly either of all the best things of earth or of the spirit that hastens to rid itself of the lesser for the greater good. Ji Thank You. Thk Friend has been passing through some delightful experiences of late and is glad to acknowledge many kindnesses and an unusual number of thoughtful words and deeds. From far away on the mainland the message has come from a gentleman who has never visited Hawaii and has no connections here, "I look for The Friend the first of my periodical mail and read it with delight, from cover to cover." That is very generous praise, for which we are deeply grateful. Recently tidings came from Kona that a reader of a recent Friend was so moved by the picture of the needs there that a subscription of $500 for the Hawaii Ministers' Aid Fund and of $200 for the local work was sent at once to the Baker family. Hurrah !! More recently, a busy business man of this city spoke of the September issue as a splendid piece of work which he was forced to read from beginning to end. Our Business Manager is rejoicing over an advertisement pressed upon him because of his appreciation of the value of our Y. M. C. A. number. Thank you, friends. It is very good to hear these thoughtful greetings. We will try, with your help, to be more and more worthy of your friendship. 5 Another Summoned. It was always a joy to meet Gorham Dummer Gilman. His middle name suggested the noble Colonial Governor and Massachusetts oldest surviving academy, linking him with a fine historic past. Patriot blood of Gorhams and Gilinans and other sturdy stocks flowed in his veins. Thus he was born for service, and that which he rendered Hawaii was unselfish, fruitful and continuous to the very end of his life. During the past few years the writer has received many letters from him, all breathing devotion to the highest interests of this Territory. Coming hither when still within his teens, he learned as a mere youth to love the Islands. He was a marked man here from the first, winning success by his hard work and ability, and drawing to himself friends of every race through his gentle, manly character. Later in life, when called upon to represent Hawaii as Consul-General in Boston, he was true both to native Ilawaiians and the whites. His aloha for this Territory led him to champion its interests most widely and to serve very effectively as an interpreter to the American public both of its many races and its peculiar problems. He discerned the great importance of Hawaii's being well represented at the Lake Mohonk Conferences and was one of the influential members of that unique feature of mainland social life. Mr. Gilman was a man of very wide experience and sympathy. In California he was a "Forty Eighter" and never wavered in his interest in the Golden State. When the war broke out his patriotic services were such that later on he became naturally one of the original charter members of a G. A. R. post. He loved his country enough to devote time to his civic duties and served his city as councilman and alderman and his state as representative and senator. He was a member of several fraternal orders and received the honors conferred therein upon fruitful performance of duty. He did not excuse himself, as so many do, from carrying a man's responsibilities as a religious being, but honorably did his part here as elsewhere. He was a trusted, working member of the great Eliot Congregational Church of Newton, leading a Bi- �November, THE FRIEND. 6 ble class therein for more than a quarter century. At the same time, he was a friend of the Y. M. C. A.from its foundation in his town and served it as president three terms. It is needless to add that he succeeded in business and rose to high position in various commercial organizations. An ardent lover of the people, he championed the cause of direct popular government by endeavoring to save to Newton its town meeting, but was defeated in this by the city movement. That he was right is the verdict of the many lovely towns which give to Boston the proud title of the most beautifully environed city of America. The record of this long life tells the story of "well done, good and faithful servant." Mr. Gilman lived widely, tried to do his whole duty, achieved a splendid record, kept at work' under a full head of steam until he reached the fine age of 87 years, and has gone to the larger life, a noble alumnus of Mother Earth, well fitted for the career upon which he is now entering. JI Our Library Alcove. This new niche in the home of The Friend will be under the supervision of Mr. Ernest J. Recce. who will, from month to month, direct its embellishment. For some time we have felt the need of a literary editor in constant touch with books and possesing not only the necessary time but also the equipment both of sympathy with the treasured thought of the ages and the power to interest others therein. We are fortunate in securing for this happy task Mr. Recce, who as Librarian of Cooke Library in Oahu College is kept in constant touch with the best and the newest books. Mr. Recce had mainland experience as librarian before coming to Honolulu, two years ago. A graduate of Western Reserve University and for two years a student in Oberlin Theological Seminary, he has had a wide training, which, added to his literary ability, give him especial fitness for the role which he now assumes on our Editorial Board.

While here he addressed an assembly of the Buddhist priests stationed in this Territory, in which he made the following points: the wide influence of the local Buddhist priest, the heavy responsibility which this entails, the secret of the fruitful discharge of this responsibility, namely, the inculcation of love for Hawaii, of honest industry, of loyalty to the highest interests of these Islands, and of identification with the best in the life of the people here. That the Buddhist priesthood in Hawaii needed this advice is (dear to anyone who has become acquainted with the work of not a few of these religions leaders, who have seemed to study how best to keep alive in the hearts of their countrymen devotion to Japan at the cost of closer assimilation with Americans and their national ideals. Count Otani's address ought to mark an era in this Territory. If instead of being taught how to seek to transplant' to our shores a bit of Japan, these imitative people are urged to study our ways and to come into close touch with our spirit, they will soon overcome unreasoning race prejudice. We believe that the Count's advice will have large influence in this direction. D. S. A TRIBUTE TO THE HON. GORHAM D. GILMAN. The Boston Evening Transcript of Oct. 4 devoted an entire column to the life record of her distinguished citizen, the lamented Gorham D. Gilman. From this we quote the references to Mr. Gilman 's relations with Hawaii: "Mr. Gilman went to Honolulu, and there, in 1841, he began a clerkship for a business firm and at once began to learn the language of the country. "He made the acquaintance of King Kamehameha 111., and of four kings who succeeded him, including King Kalakaua, also Queen Kapiolani and the present dethroned Queen Liliuokalani. Mr. Gilman received from these various royal personages many decorations and gifts: His mastery of the native language was so easily accomplished that he became very proficient, and his translation of an Important United States . waii for the United States His association there with the other seekers after wealth •ntltled him to membership in the organization of California pioneers, and in later years he was vice president of that association. Returning to Hawaii in the spring of 1849. Mr. Gilman continued as a merchant there until 1861, when he returned to the United States. He moved with his family to Newton in 1865, having established the drug business in Boston with his brothers, John A. and Samuel K. Gilman. He bought a residence on Baldwin street, which he continued to occupy up to the time of his death. "Soon after moving there Mr. Gilman took an active part in local affairs. His house became the meeting place of leaders of the Republican party thereabout. An earnest worker in Eliot Congregational Church, Mr. Gilman was early identified with that religious body. In the Sunday school he was for more than a quarter of a century leader of a Bible class. When the Newton Y. li. C. A. was founded thirty-two years ago Mr. Gilman was prominent in the movement. He was its second president and occupied the chair for three years. He originated the plan of distributing Thanksgiving dinners to the poor under the association's auspices, which was followed successfully for many years. "When Newton became a city In 1874 he was one of those who strongly opposed the idea. It was his belief that it could better be divided into two towns, one to be called Newton and the other Nonantum. He was always a firm believer In the town form of government, although later he became a member of the City Government, serving as councilman and alderman. He declined reelection, but later was the successful candidate for representative, being in the Legislature two terms, 1889 and 1890. The next two years he was elected to the State Senate, retiring from that body Just before he became Hawaiian Consul in 1893. During his service in the Legislature Mr. Gilman was Instrumental in securing the passage of a measure prohibiting railroads from issuing passes to members of the Legislature, and ordering the publishing of monthly statements of the expenses of the committee permitted to travel. "His appointment to the position of Consul General at the overthrow of the monarchy was due in part to his long residence in Hawaii and his intimate acquaintance with the principals on the field of political strife in the islands. When he lived there his home was visited by many distinguished travellers. "When Queen Kapioiani visited Boston in 1887, Mr. Gilman was resident interpreter (Continued on Page 21) �THE FRIEND.

A business man recently expressed surprise at the large number of young women who had come to Honolulu in the last six months. We are accustomeil to hear surprise expressed at the large number of young men who are starting life in Honolulu. "This is a young man's town." And so it is; but it is none the less a young woman's town. The recent splendid campaign in behalf of commodious headquarters for our young men has called special attention likewise to the claims of our young women for a modern Y. W. ('. A. building. Such a building is elsewhere considered as great a necessity as one for the young men. Do our young men need physical exercise? So do our young women. Are classes of instruction more valuable for young men seeking a livelihood than for young women who are also seeking employment I Are the social needs of young men more to be considered than those of young women :' Our young men come to Honolulu as strangers, away from home. So do many of our young women. There are pitfalls for our young men, especially in Honolulu. We regret to say that the same is true for our young Women. The whole community will get an uplift if our young men are provided with facilities for wholesome recreation and companionship. Not unless our young women get an equivalent uplift, however. A Modern Institution. Well, we have a Y. W. C. A. already. Yes. and we are grateful for what we have in that line. But is it enough? Does it adequately meet the needs of our young women? Can those needs be adequately met until we have a building adapted to modern conditions and so equipped as to furnish the natural center for the physical, social, and spiritual development of our increasing contingent of young women? Honolulu is growing rapidly. Its future is to depend largely on our young people. The facilities soon to be offered to our young men in the proposed Y. M. ('. A. building will help to compact them and to turn their activity and enthusiasm into channels of municipal advantage. But what is to be done for our young women .' They are as vital to the futore of our city as our young men ; and they need adequate facilities to bring them together, and to develop possibilities among them such as can be secured best only in an accessible, amply equipped, modern institution that shall be a worthy companion to the forthcoming Y. M. C. A. building. J More Than a Vision. We believe that in good time a central Y. W. C. A. building will be erected in this city that will be an honor to the generosity of our citizens. The time may not be ripe for it yet. The want is real enough even now. But it may be well to wait awhile. That is. before any concerted plan is pushed to procure the necessary land and funds. Meanwhile it is a good thing for us to be thinking about it. Such good causes oftentimes get their initial impetus through the generosity of a single individual. Visions become realities very easily. Some day we shall have the great satisfaction of chronicling the gift of a splendid site for a $100,000 Y. W. C. A., or the initial gift by someone of $25,000 toward a Y. W. ('. A. building. Honolulu is not a city to be behind-hand in such a vital enterprise as this. Let our College Club have an afternoon sometime on: What Is Being Done for Young Women in Our Progressive Cities? Let our Christian women look the field over and realize the need. Let some mother who wants to do for young womanhood the best that can be done through an amply equipped Y. W. C. A. begin the agitation in a quiet way. We may not be quite ready to start any subscription 7 lists yet, but it is high time we began thinking about the matter, and none too soon to begin talking about it. .2* That Mandolin. The Scribe has looked in vain for any appearance of that mandolin in his Corner. Oh, DO; he does not want it for himself, for he wouldn't know what to do wilh it except to give it to a hardworking Hawaiian pastor, musically inclined, who knows how to make a dumb thing speak, and would get great comfort from a mandolin, as many another would from a piano, at the (dose of the day's work. Besides, owing to an accident, this Hawaiian minister is partially blind. He loves books, which he reads in English, but his eyesight limits him in these directions, and a mandolin would help to while away some weary hours. He is a faithful preacher and pastor, and there is no danger that a mandolin would spoil him. If anyone thinks it would, why. then, let him substitute a violin. Our friend can play that, too. Only let him have some musical instrument to delight his soul, as the Psalmist delighted himself on a Who will spare a mandolin or guitar or violin or a small organ? What a joy would be added to his home by such a gift ! stringed instrument. Jl Riches Of Their Liberality. Our Hawaiian churches are certainly first kin to the churches of Macedonia, whose contributions so won the applause of Paul in his report to the Corinthian church. "Though they were tried by many a trouble, their overflowing happiness, and even their deep poverty, resulted in a flood of generosity." Twentieth Century Version. One of the most significant features at the meeting of the Oahu Association at Waianae was the report of the acting pastor of that church that they had raised over $800 among themselves for the building of a new meeting-house. The patient self-denial of these people touched the hearts of their visiting brethren, and nearly $200 was added to the fund. It was gladly given. There was the same note of overflowing happiness that once stirred the apostolic Christians. �8 THE FRIEND November, 1909.

Some of the distinctive features of the book are: the new The ideal of education the world over and bast method of artificial respiration, so is the same,—the development of cat simple that children can use it In rescuing in every school-room to the individual one from drowning; the water treatment of greatest possible efficiency so that ca :li burns until the doctor comes; the importance of shutting doors and windows in case may give effective service throughout of tire, so as to stop draughts; and the need life. of familiarizing children with the use of anwhat, I tiseptics. In Town and City. In "Town and City," children are taught the Importance of clean water, clean streets, and pure milk, and the dangers from overcrowded houses, and from contagion, especially from tuberculosis. The Body at Work. "The Body at Work" tells about circulation and digestion, and how each bodily function may be kept In healthy action. Control of Body and Mind. The last of the series, "Control of Body and Mind." gives instruction in the use of the senses and the nervous system. "The relation of health to efficiency and mental clearness," the Influences from worry, fear, anger, hope, and Joy upon the circulation and digestion, control of one's self by means of attention, choice, and habit, are some of the subjects discussed. In each book the damage wrought by alcohol is discussed. In "Good Health," it is considered in its general relations to health; in "Emergencies," as a factor in injuries ami accidents; Equality of Opportunity. Great undeveloped resources abound in every land and clime. In no land perhaps is this more true than in the United States. And of all the undeveloped resources of every nation, there is one more valuable than all others which nature provides, one which if developed carefully will bring the greatest return and which if undeveloped often brings the greatest distress. This great undeveloped resource is the people themselves, far more important than the resources of the soil, or any other 01 nature's gifts. The development of the people of any country, and particular!) of those commonly considered lowest in the social scale, the neglected and unfortunate, is of first importance. These latter arc often the very foundation ol some of our society. In the study ol life itself we cannot give undue attention to certain men or classes of nun and neglect others. The few rich do not make a rich community: the few well-trained do not make an intelligent community: the few strong and well do not' make a healthy community: the �November, THE FRIEND. 1909 few honest business men do not make an honest community: the few mora' and virtuous do not make a moral and a virtuous community. The ideal community is not attained unless all art- well-to-do. well-trained, healthy, hon- est, moral and virtuous. Not only the few. but the great mass must be brought up to the same level if not in all ways, at least in some. We have to estimate the so-called common people in giving an estimate of our civilization. Tb more a community takes great pride in and parades its few, the less it considers the middle class and still less the ver\ pi Mir. Just as the strength of every chain is only the strength of its weakest link, so must any state of civilization be measured by its weakest factors. To estimate a community by the attainments of the few is to be untrue and unAnicri.can. Every man must be considered of as much importance as his fellow, be he rich or poor, strong or feeble, Equality of opskilled or untrained. portunity is the watchword of modem times. It is not fair to judge of a man's capacity unless he has had the opportunity to develop that capacity. To estimate aright we must see men as they are, not as we think they ought to be, not as we wish they were, not as the blind see them, not even as they sec themselves, but we must estimate them in the light of the opportunities they have had and the way they have met those opportunities. Results alone could never determine a man's capacity. Now the application to the school. A scTiool is effective not as it develops the few, not as it brings out an occasional star pupil who takes all the prizes and is the delight and pride of his teacher not as it develops those who arc eager to learn, not as it sends on a few to college, but its real effectiveness lies in its development of the whole body ol pupils and more particularly of those who seem hopeless as pupils. It is effective as it develops the pupil who does not care to learn, who has no enthusiasm, who cares far more for tooths or marbles than for arithmetic. A school is effective as it develops those who havi no hope of going to college, and evei of those who have no particular hope or ambition in life, those who arc content simply to let the sun shine am whose highest idea seems to be to let each day pass by with as little effort a? possible. Thus the school is effective that brings out the best in the boys am girls. How diversified are the class that confronts a teacher! The sons and daughters of the educated, the refined. the well-to-do, the healthy, the moral, the virtuous, and for their class-mates the children of the ignorant, the poor, the tecble in mind and the feeble in body, the immoral, the depraved, and all the various grades between Now the true test of efficiency is not how tb school teaches the former class, but the real test is whether it trains the child of the ignorant to be studious, whether it makes he son of the poor man capable of becoming well-to-do. whether it strengthens the body and mind of the weak, whether it inculcates honesty in the children of the dishonest, whether it develops virtue and morality in the children of the debased and the outcast. N( teacher will be effective until he recognizes that the most ragged, dirty, and ignorant child of his worthless neigbbo has just as good a right to the best edu cation the school affords as his own cb" or the child of the richest patron of th' The Teacher's Responsibility. I know that we shall all say that we do not neglect any pupil in the school. school. Rut I fear the Principal often hears his teachers confess that time spen' upon certain pupils is wasted, that the class suffers, that certain pupils can never learn and that it does not pay t try longer with them. What shall I do with the pupil who wont study? What can I do with the pupil who will not pay attention? What can 1 do with that hoy for nothing can penetrate his head? So and so will not study and I can't afford to spend more time on him- How often the Principal hears these sayings, how often he feels these thoughts himself! But it is only as the teacher gets away from such thoughts and sees tremendous possibilities in every chil sees the soul of every pupil that must be saved, realizes that every mind in the room is as precious in the sight of God as every other, only as these thoughts grow and become a part of a teacher can he become efficient as he ought. Ilmv many teachers go into teaching because they can find nothing else to do. or because they think it easy, with its short terms and long .summer, or because it pays better than something else, or because it makes a good stepping stout to other situations. So long as teaching remains this or a matter of dollars and cents, so long will teaching be a farce and unproductive of good results. Nay. more, unless every teacher has in his or her heart a thorough love for the worl and an abiding love and faith in each and every pupil wdio comes under his 13 or her care, unless the teacher can feel that each child is as important and fa more important perhaps than she her self is or can be, unless she can see in each pupil, black or white, brown or yellow, the possibilities of a great future, then it would be far better for such an one to leave teaching to the more efficient workers who possess these qualities. If every man is the equal of every other in the eyes of God, must not every man be equal to every other in the eyes of the Commonwealth, must not every child of man be equal to every other cTiild in the eyes of the school? The most sacred thing in the Commonwealth and to the Commonwealth is the child. whether it be my child or yours, the child of our most important citizen or the child of the ignorant mother of the street. Her child may become a leader in the State. Within it arc the possibilities of good citizenship and of great usefulness. And each untrained cb 1 is a menace to this community. Some ol our strongest men arc those whose birth and early training have been without Tiopc whose childhood seemed devoid of promise. Is it not an inspiring thought each day as you look over fOUT little flock, to feel that somewhere in tltat number, perhaps in the dullest lx>> or girl, perhaps in the poorest scholar of all, there is that something which shall some day make him or her a far greater benefactor to mankind than you who arc today guiding him? Among the children of today are the great men and the great women of tomorrow. With us teachers lies the responsibility of helping these leaders. The measure of success of each pupil yi our class rooms today will be influenced largely with wh :b we perby tiic faithfuln form our daily tasks. If well, the results will be well: if poorly or halfheartedly, the little lives entrusted to us will be deprived of much of the inspiration that they ought to have had.' As we do our tasks day by day will determine largely the future of each pupil who comes under us. A tremendous responsibility but what a glorious one. That is the teachers' compensation. ' A Teacher's Day Dream. How often I close my eyes and see down the future Over 300 Hawaiian children placed in our charge. Among liieni are some who are to be the leadcis of the next generation.

Is this optimism, idealism ? It certainly is, but the teacher from the very nature ot his work is an optimist, an idealist, the dejected, the disappointed, the pessimist have no place in the list of teachers. Many occupy such positions but arc not teachers, but rather a reproach to the name. And is not our optimism based on reality? Look back over your own school-mates and if the tune is not too recent, you see that the boys and girls i * yesterday arc the men and women of today, men as leaders and women either as leaders in thought or co-leaders in the home? The growth of the mind of a child is a most interesting study, and to watcli this growth, to help it, to bend it to ou» .ill, to fashion it after our ideal, is our duty and privilege as teachers. Let every teacher remember, particularly those who have to do with the very young or very undeveloped that these little people probably have no really abstract or even general ideas of the impulses of life, of right or wrong, of quality and inequality, of justice and injustice. Nevertheless the child feels an injustice very keenly and this is the beginning of his understanding of the laws of justice. The child could not formulate any law of equality and yet by its tears, its cries, it- anger, its actions, it shows that it will not endure inequality. Here again is the beginning of the awakening ot the child. And the teacher must endeavor in every way to guide these expressions of a waking consciousness. Carefully must the nourishing be every day and day by day. Remember too that side by side with the instincts that we call good in every child are others developing with equal vigor which we call bad. Here is where the struggle w effort begins in the child. To choose becomes a necessity and the power to choose aright often requires the greater effort. The mother gets obedience from her cmTd in various ways, love, surprise, persuasion, entreaty, appeal, punishment. The teacher who takes the mothers place demands obedience. The child is in a new arena. His efforts to obey whether inspired by love, fear or hot'- THE FRIEND. November, is a constant expenditure of energy. Teachers are apt to forget that relaxation must come, not only to the body, but to the mind and even to the soui. Learn patience. Rosseau wrote, "Learn to lose time in order to gain patience. ' fatience. infinite care and patience, we arc all ready to give tv help bring a trad DOU back to health, bar greater patienct and effort is needed to bring the mil. and soul into right relations. The mind and the soul have their countless tetHi encics to be trained, their multitude oi thoughts good and had, the.r impressions received from all the senses, the watchfulness of the faults in others, the imitative quality in every child which makes him desire to copy what he sees; this daily and hourly receiving new grains of life, the thousand various minute acts and thoughts all acting upon his character; these must be trained. All these arc the minutely small things and may seen: 11 •mportant, bui ii:ey are the dust out of which the solid rock ot life is made. All these are in the hands of the teachers to fashion as they will. .No teacher can be all the master of all of his pupils but he has countless opportunities 'of sowing seed which will spring up in the child-life unseen and unknown, but yet become a very important part of the chilli's'character. Who ot us can tell what may result from a decision, even a half-formed one or one soon broken, made by a child even about some trifling matter! It may be the first decision or impulse in a long series leading to incalculable good; it may be the arresting of progress towards unknown evil. What we do know is, that no act can be done without leaving some trace, some influence either for good or bad which in its small way forms : part of the whole character and so influences the destiny of the doer and perhaps of others. "Our words and expressions create ripples of influence whose outer cyclings touch the shore: of eternity.'' Humility. Here is where the humility of the teacher's work enters in and at the same time its grandeur. Every child before a teacher has a character to be bun up which will be influenced rightly 0" wrongly whether we will or not by what we say and what we do, that is by what we are. Nothing ever brings so much real pain to my heart in my school-work as the knowledge that a teacher has lost control of himself or herself, that the 1001, face has become flushed with passion and the voice tremulous with anger. Incalculable harm results from one outburst that weeks of patient endeavor cannot fully efface. Of all persons tin teacher has the least excuse for so loosing control of herself or himself as to say unkind things or to express thoughts that in calmness they would be ashamed to express. All education aims to develop good conduct. And good conduct is not a single act, but a sustained scries of acts, not a result of chance, but of constant effort, not of the endeavor of a day, but of each day. Daily sustained effort finally results in morality and in it apparently without effort, because endeavor has become a part of our being and the natural expression of our lives. Firm Kindness. \\ c must not expect too much of our children. We do not expect men to remember those things which they have no time to learn or to think or hear about. So we teachers must not los patience at the lack of attention, forgetfulness, failure of our pupils, but rath study the individual mind of each pupil to sec how far it could naturally be expected to have advanced under all tb. influences of its daily life. How often we fail to pay attention where attention is due and yet how we blame our pupils for their lack of attention. .Many a time the unkind word chills the pci tent child or checks a new developmcn in his life. I have never seen a school ruled by harshness that did not respond better to kindness. Eirmness and kindness go naturally together. 1 had rather take my chances on being too lenient than on being too strict. Of this 1 am sure that satire, ridicule, open severe criticism, have no place' in the schoolroom. Frank free conversation between the individual pupil and the teacher always helps tremendously. An open appeal can be made to a school but not an appeal to an individual before the school. Lack of tact on the part of the teacher often brings strained relations with the pupils. Many a principal has to spend much of his very valuable time in smoothing over differences between teachers and pupils. I confess that my sympathies are usually with the pupils and one of the hardest things that come to adjust are those differences where the sympathy is with the pupil and yet for the sake of the school and the teacher, the teacher must be supported nominally at least. �November, 1909 We must keep the horizon of each child broad and yet see that it is limited to his comprehension. We must indec point out to each child some point or limit, toward which he should strive and which he may attain. But we must be very careful that the child does not get the hought that there is nothing beyond that point or limit. Make him feel that the successful attaining of one civ. brings up another even more desirable. The greater the goodness, the greater the possibility for increased goodness; the nobler the character, the more the ways appear in which nobility of character can express itself: the better trained the child the more fields open an the greater the capacity for more advanced training. The Problem. How can the ideals of the teacher be realized? First she must become as ; child herself. She must look at life through the eyes of her pupils, but with that higher and clearer vision, whicl. while comprehending fully the child's conception, can place before him an ideal a little better than he has already Known, but still an ideal not too high not too remote. To teach successfully, the individual pupil must be studic and the ideal of each individual pupil raised a little. How to get at the ind:vidual pupil is the greatest problem for the teacher, for only as the teacher reaches the individual can she hope to help him. Only as the teacher learns to know her pupils mind, its acquirements, its power to acquire more, the rapidity of the mind to assimilate, -and its natural tendencies, can she hope to help train his power and lead him in the ways of getting greater knowledge. It is far less important to give the child a mass of information than it is to train the mindto pay attention, to concentrate itself upon the subject in hand. The mere getting of information is unimportant, the real neet' is the forming of good habits of thought the giving the power to concentrate the mind upon a study with the same intentness that it will listen to the detai's of a thrilling tale of adventure, and also the gaining the habit of constantly expressing itself orally and by written work. To arouse enthusiasm in a class, you must bring it with you into the classroom : the pupils will not supply it, but they are very ready to respond. From some class-rooms the pupils generally emerge with lagging steps and slow; out of others with wide-awake enthusiasm.

PERLEY L. HORNE. PROGRESS ON MAUI. At times it seems as if all our Maui Churches went forward by leaps and At Spreckclsville on Oct. 10th, a pretty Church was dedicated and the ecclesiastical organization with twentythree charter members completed. Mr. A. J. Kaleikini has been holding services at the club-house for nmnths, and in an incredibly short time succeeded with his people in raising in actual cash over $425.00. About $450.00 was donated by the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company, which also furnished materials and labor at lowest figures, so that an unusually attractive building was erected at small cost. On the day of organization and dedication special trains were run from Wailuku and Paia, with the result that the Church building could not hold all the people who wished to attend. Rev. Mr Waltrip preached a strong sermon upon the subject "Workers Together with God." while Rev. Mr. Turner brought the greetings of the sister Churches to the new organization. Revs. Kaumeheiwa, Nawahine and Dodge had other parts in the program, while Hon. �16 H. P. Baldwin presented the keys and made some very fitting remarks in Hawaiian to the Church and congregation. Mr A. J. Kaleikini led his people in a beautiful service of dedication of the building, which service had been printed in Hawaiian. The present of pulpit chairs and communion service by Hon. H. P. Baldwin, and a pulpit Bible by Mr. William Keanu. complete the equipment of the Church property. Mr. Job K. Manase, the son of Rev. H. Manase. has been cordially received by the members of the Kahakuloa and Honokohau Churches on West Maui. and be has begun a ministry that promises to he a very fruitful one. He is hard at work in the parish, but gets time once a week to come to Wailuku and carry on special studies with the Board's Agent. His predecessor, Rev. Geo. M. Kauaulalena. has begun work in the Makena district, where the three churches have long been vacant because of the death of the much-loved Rev. [altera. The old Keokea Church has taken on a new lease of life under the leadership of the licentiate, Mr. J. M. K. Keaoililani. The Ministers' School. The Monthly Ministers' School continues to be well attended with about twenty ministers, licentiates, and a few others, who are leaders in Church work. The hist meeting was held at Paia. and a deep interest in all the work of the day was manifested. The sermon outlines by Messrs. Waltrip, Kaleikini and Manase were all upon the same text. Which had been studied by the other members before the meeting. For the Sunday School department, Rev. Mr. Turner spoke upon "The Third and Fourth Missionary Journeys of St. Paul." The theological part of the daywas in charge of Mr. Dodge, whose topic was "The Use of the Bible in Our Theological Study." Rev. Mr. Burnham presented some excellent studies in catechetical instruction. All the work of the day, with the exception of a single outline, was mimeographed. This method of having prospectuses printed in both languages, so that permanent reference may be kept by the members of the school, make the work month by month of lasting value. THE November, FRIEND, Ladies' Aid. The ladies of Wailuku Union Church held their annual meeting at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage the first of October, read reports and outlined the work for the coming year. The meeting was well attended and enthusiastic. A good balance was in the \ treasury from the previous year, and the Secretary's report showed a lot had been accomplished. Mrs. Dodge was elected President for the next year, Mrs. E. E. Battellc VicePresident. Miss Akiau On Tai Seere- 1909 tary and Treasurer, Mrs. D. H. Case Chairman of the Executive Committee. The above-named officers and Mrs. Frank Sommerfeld constituted the members of the Executive Committee. The meetings for the coining year are planned to be divided into literary, social and philanthropic. It was voted to help one or more girls, who wish to attend the Maunaolu Seminary, and also to help in securing supplies and better equipment for the Union Church Sunday School, which has developed rapidly into a flourishing department of the. Church work. R. B. D. Notes From the Field FRANK. S. SCUDDER THE TOMO AGAIN. You asked me to subscribe for the "Tomo" for my servants. Will it do them any good? What is the tone of the paper? Of course it is right you should know, so we summon the Tomo to the witness stand. What have you to say for yourself, friend Tomo? Give us a sample of yourself in a language we can understand. What, for instance, was the subject matter of your leading editorial in September? Thank you; the subject of the leading editorial was The Cement Which Unites Americans and Japanese in Friendship. Recently when the delegation of business men from Japan was Welcomed at Seattle, representatives of both countries, in happy exchange of courtesies. declared that nothing should ever be allowed to mar the unique historic friendship between America and Japan. On the other hand, in the opinion of Congressmen who recently visited Hawaii, it would be better for the peace of the two countries if all the Japanese were sent out of Hawaii. Recently, also, a friend passing through Honolulu said to the writer, "The anti-Japanese agitators in California declare that the conditions in Hawaii are the best confirmation of their arguments." This is a subject worthy of our serious thought. Why should the Japan- of Hawaii become the subject matter of anti-Japanese arguments? It may be said that people are startled at the' preponderance of the Japanese population, or. again, that in point, of wages, especially in lines of work for which the Japanese seem specially adapted, it is difficult or impossible to compete with them. But the real reason lies deeper than this It is a question as to whether the Japanese are a people who are capable of being assimilated into the national life of America. When the Japanese, even those who have stores open to the street, pay no attention to the proprieties of dress, but. indifferent to American customs, wear clothing which allows the bare limbs to be exposed to view, what conclusion must be drawn from that! Again, children born here have the right to become American citizens. Americans can not help wondering whether in the Japanese private schools anti-American ideals are not being taught, and when they see the people bringing in such religious customs even as dancing at the festival of the dead, are not these things the seed of suspicion lest the Japanese are a people who can not be assimilated? America is taking in (as food) many thousands of emigrants every year. She must digest and assimilate them. If any portion proves to be a hard, mdi ese �November, 1909 THE FRIEND, gestible mass, she must spew them out of her mouth. Should not the Chinese be a warning to us? Certain things we regard as natural rights, and hence there is a tendency on the part of people to insist on having such rights granted. But we should remember that the decision of these questions rests not with the people, but with the representatives of both countries; while awaiting the results of their diplomacy, we should bear with patience the hardships and laugh away the inconveniences, mingling with the When the hour of opening arrived, the building was well filled; the front room with about a hundred and fifty Japanese men and children and the rear room with some fifty Delegates of the Association. The Hawaiian contingent formed the choir, singing in their usual good style a number of hymns, which proved such an attraction that soon the room and the veranda filled up with other Japanese, who stood throughout, people in true friendship. Recently, Mr. Miyagawa. speaking on the Solution of Japanese and American Problems, said, "The realization of the brotherhood of both nations is the best and most feasible method of bringing it about." That is a sentiment we heartily approve. Brotherhood is the marrow of Christianity. That is why the American people show this spirit first to us, and if we live by this principle, and both countries are bound together by the love of God. these troubles will cease and fifty years hence will see us united in happy relations. While we can not expect all the Japanese in Hawaii to become Christians, all thoughtful Japanese, personally fostering this spirit, will have their share in the work of cementing Japan and America in eternal friendship. Mr. F. S. Scudder and Mr. Gulick. The attention of the people was excellent, the addresses were to the point, and the interest aroused was evident. At the close of the meeting, Mr. Nakuina, as pastor of the Waianae Church, made a few remarks in which he expressed the interest of his people in the Japanese and their desire to open a Sunday School for the Japanese children. Altogether the meeting was a great success and gave a proof of the wonderful possibilities in our Island work if the Christians of various nationalities will unite in concerted effort. The Hawaiians of the present generation who have had the advantage of Christian homes are in a position to become real missionaries to these peoples of other lands who as yet do not know the blessedness of following Christ. The Association meeting as a whole was good. Considerable business was transacted in prompt order and without friction. Two able and helpful addresses were given, one by Mr. F. S. Scudder on Church Music, showing its possibilities; and one by Mr. H. P. Judd on Sunday School teaching. At the invitation of the Delegates from Kaumakapili Church it was voted to hold the April meeting in Honolulu J. P. E. in that Church. OAHU ASSOCIATION. An interesting feature of the Fall Association meeting, held at Waianae. was the special "-Lecture Meeting." as the Japanese express it. in the Japanese school-house.

Both of these men were very ready to give us every facility, the teacher going so far as to post our notices in the camps and prepare the building for us. BTe the whole meeting. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Erdman. and addresses were made by LETTER FROM PAIA. In July Rev. Frank Scudder and Mr. S Shimamori of the Japanese Y. M. C. A. in Honolulu preached four times in our Japanese Church in Paia. The average attendance was thirty and the meetings were most effectual and highly blessed. 17 Faithful advice is given by me to the countrymen in camps in order to cultivate the habit of cleanliness indoors and outdoors for themselves, and to be men and women of great civility as well as the most industrious laborers for plantations. About ten young students are studying English in our night-school. Up to the time of ending the sugar manufacturing, our Day Nursery had many children every day. But after finishing that work there are some seven or eight who are brought by their parents at 5 o'clock in the morning and go home after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. We have a social meeting most interesting, artless and pure once a month, but the comers are so few, owing to the need of a suitable institution, and this institution is highly desirable among the Japanese laborers, because their want of higher amusements in their circles naturally causes bad tendencies, both in their habits and circumstances. J. FUKUDA. WAILUKU ITEMS. Japanese Work. The new school year opened with much of encouragement. There were fifty children present. There is a good attendance at Church and Sunday School. Usually about fifty at Sunday School, although it opens at 9 o'clock. Many are waiting for the door to open at a much earlier hour. The evening school for the study of English has increased in numbers. At present there are sixteen in the class. It is held two evenings of each week at the Japanese school-house. , (Continued on Page 22). Is Your Japanese Servant a Christian?

True, there are monuments that are themselves dead and that tell the story of sentiments worse than dead. Such is the unfinished Greek temple whose uncrowned columns gape to the sky on Calton Hill at Edinburgh, silently chiding the city for a silly pride which spurned Scottish aid in erecting a memorial to all the Scots. Then there is a class of monuments which, although they commemorate momentous lives or events, stand unmoved and unresponsive to the throbbing world, like lyres with snapped strings. They look down majestically, serene in their signalizing of perhaps even human achievement speak a cold message—but can lend no hand. The stately shaft raised to the memory of Washington guards the eapitol. but is powerless to see that righteousness is enthroned in its halls. Monuments of the third order live. They tower as the created product of men's struggles and make themselves the instrument of human striving. They may be unlovely, as was the signature which scrawled itself ungracefully beneath an emancipation proclamation. They maybe unheralded, as was the labor of Marcus Whitman until, in reply to the statesman's assurance that "there could not be made a wagon road over the mountains," the heroic missionary said, "There is a road, for I have made it." It is before these living monuments that the twentieth century, small as is its regard for the past, feels justified in pausing—pausing not so much to revere as to pray—then to go forth and do. In the crater of Haleakala is a great flat stone in which all the lines marking the topographic divisions of East Maui are said to meet. The story is told that an engineer's party being led to the spot by a group of natives some years back, was stayed from stepping upon the rock until the gods of the re- — FRIEND gion could be suitably addressed and the taboo removed. The worship rendered to the stone and the practical service to which it is put are, of course, unconnected. Nevertheless, the situation suggests certain features of the-library. As an institution the library belongs lo the class of living monuments. It has wrought itself out of flesh and blood-Aztec and Indian. Chinese and Persian. Semite and Egyptian. Every course in it is instinct with life. Ages upon ages men labored to perfect a system of writing, evolving a code of symbols that began with mere tallying and progressed through picture writing, ideographs, phonograms, and syllabaries until a crowning conquest was reached in the invention of the alphabet. The people which finally conceived the idea of analyzing vocal expression and representing its elements with a limited number of symbols acieved no idle triumph, for it was an intellectual victory—a task to which many races had contributed and which could be consummated only as men found their way out of the mists of superstition and rgnorancc. Only less signal was the perfection of the material form of the book, as men passed from beads and (day cylinders to papyrus and parchment scrolls, and in time discarded all these for the volume made of folded paper. Here let it be suggested that the monument perhaps lacks its capital. We may hope for further perfection in our systems of writing, and men have yet to find a form of paper that shall assure the record of our civilization to distant ages. The grandeur of the living monument is that it glows. One has but to pause with a thought of these conquests as he mounts the broad steps of the Library of Congress or prowls about the dingy British Museum, to feel that he is in the presence of the most real of monuments. Wampum, clay prisms, scrolls, books, —all lie close to the hearts of men. Human effort has produced them. Human struggle is recorded in them. Human aspiration breathes from them, bidding him who came to gaze or to admire or to worship, to go forth and bear his part. There is no mockery and no coldness in this monument. Its hand is extended and its message thrills. November, 1909 In one other respect the library finds its counterpart in the sacred Hawaiian stone. It is a point of convergence. Here the lines of history meet. Divide our world as we will—chronologically, geographically, racially, mentally,—all knowledge assembles itself here. The prowess of Babylonian kings as told on clay tablets at Nippur, the gems of classical thought preserved in medieval monasteries, the records of modern discovery as exhibited in contemporary life—all are gathered to build the living monument. They establish a point of departure, but they know no taboo. Cor the personal library the comparison scarcely holds. Most men live perforce in one or two provinces, crossing into others as occasion demands or permits. Their books show it. The untutored bibliophile runs to bindings and first editions; the nature-loving Wordsworth finds his library in the mountains and the woods. Too many of us would shift the centre stone to our own prov- ince and disturb the equilibrium of the universe. What many have budded one may not overthrow, however, and the great rock stands uncndangered, pointed to by all and pointing to all. And so the good word monument has forsaken the way of many of its compeers. The downward pull affecting so large a part of our language, seems to have found its resistant. Instead of being degraded it has been ennobled. Prom meaning a mere memorial it has conic to connote human achievement. The true monument suggests no longer a tomb, but a medium of expanding life. And instead of standing as a mere obelisk, revered and unresponding, it becomes the servant of men. It sums up their thought and hopes, and bids them build further. This because it has been raised not as were the pyramids of old by hordes of human beings scarcely more sentient than the swarms of insects which formed our coral reefs but by intelligent human effort directed toward great ends.

Immediately after the convention of the .Maui Association, the Hawaii Association held their meeting at Laupahoehoe, from Sept. 22-24. The sessions were marked by the spirit of progress and optimism and the proceedings were expedited in the same manner as the "Aha Makua" and the C. E. meetings. There is no special item to be reported from any one school. The large majority of the schools seem to be doing faithful work, though there are some schools that need new life and new ideas. The reports from the district superintendents indicated that these men had been doing considerable travelling during the last six months. It seems to us that the number of these superintendents might very profitably be increased from four * i<;oo. the prospects for a fine new building are very bright. The Waianae people showed the delegates that they were tilled with the spirit id" generosity and hospitality. What community in Hawaii nci does not have this grand and beautiful Christian spirit? The World's Sixth Sunday School Convention. This will be held in Washington. I). May 19-24. 1910. Early notice of this great convention is now given in order that Sunday School workers may be thinking about it and making plans in regard to attending it. It is hoped that Hawaii will have several representatives. Those who are thinking of going will kindly send their names to Mr. .Judd. that he may arrange in regard to their credentials. ('..

T. R. The Mainland Side. Prohibition in Hawaii is also demanded for the good of the entire Nation. We are told by the daily press that Oahu will soon have quartered upon it ten thousand soldiers. These, together with the marines and sailors, the workmen and purveyors to all these classes, will augment our population by some twenty thousand. It is clear to anyone who knows Congress that the Xation wants its battles fought by sober men. the kind of employee which its great corporations are seeking. A drunken army is a disgrace But if the No. 12 large force destined for Oahu be stationed here and cordoned with saloons, a considerable proportion will inevitably be tempted to drunkenness. Our Island American form of government has proved far less able to save the Hawaiians from drink than that of the Kamehameha sovereigns. It certainly cannot be trusted to safeguard the Nation's soldiers and sailors. If anything were needed further to demonstrate this, it would be the protest of the Legislature against the proposed law now before Congress. Delegate Kalanianaole has jtlso come out against national action for Hawaii, if he is correctly reported IB a recent interview. Some months ago it was said around town that he was in favor of Congress acting to prohibit the sale and manufacture of intoxicants here, it needs a strong man. however, to resist the pressure; which the liquor interests can bring to bear upon a legislator. The protest of our legislature and Delegate Kalanianaole'a ;tt lit tide are hard nuts for our Anti-Saloon League to crack. But the spirit of this organization knows no discouragement and the fight will be fought to the last ditch. May God give the forces arrayed against King Alcohol the victory! « Encouraging Signs. At hast one citizen has shown his faith by his works and booked by one of the Marus to the Coast next summer. This means that the stand of Secretary Ballinger for justice to Hawaii is taken to indicate that the good sense of Congress will champion the same honest course. Our legislature stultified itself by its failure to support the overwhelming sentiment of the people in favor of the suspension of the coastwise laws for these Islands. It is significant that even the local corporation most interested in opposing, for purely selfish reasons, this public sentiment is by no means united in this short-sighted course, several of its highest officers including its presi- �December, 1909 THE FRIEND, 4 dent being public-spirited enough to all their influence on the side of economic righteousness. It is to be hoped that when Congress gets down to a consideration of the question, it will see the injustice of any restriction upon our trade with the mainland and cast will suspend entirely the operation of the coastwise laws, both freight and passengers. its regards More Good News. Late advices from Washington seem that the sober second sight of the American people is being aroused to the economic folly of fettering the liberty of the Nation by creating a mammoth shipping trust through the operation of a ship subsidy system. Papers like the Outlook are doing yeoto indicate man's service here and are being joined by a Pacific Coast organ now and then, as notably in Portland, Oregon. Let the good work go on. Some day Congress will awake to the fact that if permission be given Americans to fly the Hag over ships bought in the cheapest market and man them with international crews, not only will the Stars and Stripes adorn all the seas of the globe again, but the United States will learn a second time how to build ships cheaper and better and with higher-paid labor than any other country on earth. More Hours of Work. In the face of the universal trend towards fewer hours of daily labor, it is proposed to open Honolulu stores at night. This proposal is urged in the interests of White versus Asiatic shopkeepers. Is t his a symptom of a coming time in world-history when the yellow man. trained by centuries of heredity and environment to work, shall have pushed to the wall the Caucasian educated to fight? Perhaps so. At all events it is a sign of surrender. We Americans pride ourselves upon our love of higher things and claim that large culture fits a man to win when he is forced to compete with those who spend all their time in drudgery. Hut here in Hawaii where East meets West on even terms, the East is forcing our hand and our merchants are proposing I'AI.AMA's MOOF.I. COTTAGES, capitulate and become the drudges that Eastern shopkeepers are. We believe the proposal unwise. It will not defeat the Asiatic lie will whip us out unless we succeed in inoculating him with our standards. Exactly here is our miserable weakness. We refuse to make him submit to our standards while hi' expects us to insist upon them as rights. Take Sunday, for into The Oriental looks upon us with supreme contempt because of our hick of backbone in maintaining this honored and wise institution. Heine when we ordain that on Sunday he can sell fruit and drinks, he puts fruit and drinks into all sorts of stores and saucily snaps his fingers in the face of our milk-and-water Sabbath regulations. If with respect for our own institutions we should return to our old-time American custom of making Sunday selling of every commodity except medicines illegal, allowing milk and ice delivery alone, the Oriental would mightily respect us. He would also lose a tremendous advantage in competitive trade because large numbers of white merchants will not keep open shop on Sunday. Soon his employees would learn that Sunday rest is their right and thus it decided gain in educating our competitors up to our standards would be effected. Evening closing on week-days cannot be secured by law. but if we Americans stand together, difficulties in the path of evenstance. shopping at Oriental stores may be created slowly. The Orientals employed in our shops will because of their evening leisure constitute it sort of aristocracy of clerks and soon their fellowracials who have to work at night will complain at the injustice. The authoriing ties at the various camps may encourtheir men to be in town during the day. Public sentiment condemning evening opening may be fostered and in time the Asiatics will respond thereto Milt if we begin to yield point by point to Asiatic standards of labor instead of endeavoring to bring them up to out's it will be a sorry day for white dominance here. By till means let us get back to ;i rigid Sunday closing of all stores. This will be a tremendous blow at Asiatic competition. Then sedulously cultivate the sentiment that only a mean, onbrotherly employee, enemy of the new social order, keeps open evenings. It need scarcely be added that certain kinds of business, such as restaurants, drug-shops and the like, must he open out of regular hours, hut the merchants owning these may satisfy the demands of social justice by double shifts of employees or rotation in hours of work. It will be a sad day for Honolulu when it goes back to longer hours of labor for any class of workingnien. age Be humble, Moody. or you'll stumble. —D. L. �THE FRIEND, December, lyoy. Palama.

It is well-recognized that the salaries paid by our Hawaiian churches are in many cases far from being adequate. 11l order to meet the needs of the ease. Pastor's Aid Societies have been formed on each of the Islands, and have been in operation for a number of years. These societies are dependent on the generosity of individuals, and have accomplished excellent results with the funds at their disposal. For they have thus made it possible for some churches have regular preaching services that might otherwise have continued pastorless. The aid thus rendered has also relieved the pressing Deeds of not a \'t\v ministers who have thus 1 n freed to give their whole time and interest to the work of the churches. There can be no question, however, that in many cases the pastors should receive more than they are now receiving- The salary should be at least adequate to the actual living need, so that there shall be no necessity for the minister to supplement his salary by entering on other employment that would take him from his legitimate work as minister to his people. In England, the churches of our order have undertaken to raise ji fund whereby each and every minister shall n ive at least a certain specified salary. Large success is already attending this movement. Such a fund would be specially useful among us. with wise safeguards in administering the fund. Thus no pari of the income should be granted where the church does not pledge itself to meet its equitable share of the specified salary. A fund like this might well be vested in the Hawaiian Board, the into Decerning, THE FRIEND, come to be administered by it all over the Territory in the interest of a living ■alary for every worker of whatever nationality. Just now such a fund would be called on most heavily in behalf of our Hawaiian ministers, whose efficiency will be measurably promoted by the relief such aid would bring. New Men for the Ministry. Promising young men. who have already demonstrated their ability in Christian leadership and who have had some drawings to the Christian ministry, are undoubtedly deterred from offering themselves to our churches on account of the meagerness of salary. They are ready to deny themselves, even to the extent of relinquishing much better opportunities financially, but they must have a living salary assured them. The churches, in many cases, cannot guarantee such a salary in Hawaii, any more than they can in England, or on the mainland, and it fund judiciously administered seems the only solution. Lack of a living salary ought not to operate in this land to keep worthy men out of the ministry. We need our best-equipped men in the ministry ; but we must be content to see them doing Christian work as laymen, unless adequate salaries can be provided to enable them to become the leaders of the people front the pulpit. The World in Boston. With the American Board going up to its great meeting at Minneapolis out of debt, and with unusual interest already focusing on its Centennial to be held next year in Boston, there come encouraging tidings of the preliminary organisation of a great inter-denominational missionary exposition to be held possibly in the fall of 1910. This is to be an exhibit of foreign and home missions on a settle never before attempted in our country. Similar exhibits in England during the last few years have been regarded as exceedingly profitable in awakening popular interest in worldwide mission endeavor. We are manifestly in an era of contagious interest in the doing of things for the Kingdom of God. The proposed exhibit is to be known as "The World in Boston." If njoj. the plans carry, Boston will certainly have one view of world-life that the public is not as well acquainted with a.s should be the case in this age of wondrous missionary opportunity, and of almost unexampled headway in the Christian uplift of the race. A Welcome Assurance. We are glad to print elsewhere Bish- op Restarick's statement to the effect that there is no plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on Kauai. This satisfies the protest made by the Kauai Association, and makes for the continuance of Christian cooperation without needless division in that limited field. That there may be no misunderstanding as to certain questions raised in Bishop Restarick's statement, we print the following correspondence, which needs no comment, and may well close the incident : (1) November 5, 1909. The Right Rev. 11. H. Restarick. Honolulu. .My Dear Sir: — At the recent meeting of the Kauai Association held at Koloa. certain ait ion was taken which, hy vote of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, I hereby officially communicate to you. The action taken by the Kauai Association was as follows: "I. We heartily approve of the courtesy of those of our pastors who have extended the occasional use of their houses of worship to our brethren of the Episcopalian ministry. We are convinced that such courtesies, when mutually extended, would do much to unify believers of every name. "2. The practice of our churches in the past has heen such as to guarantee the continuance of such courtesies, and this fact is a sufficient consideration why the introduction of other churches in this limited field should be deplored. "3. Accordingly we learn with sorrow of tli<' proposed plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on this Island. In the Interests of the churches already occupying this field, and in behalf of Christian efficiency, we hereby record our protest against this plan, believing that it will only breed divisoin and harm to the cause of Christ.

While on this subject I should like to explain my attitude as to our work on Kauai and I leave it to your readers to judge whether my position is reasonable, fair, just and kindly. On the Island of Kauai there are three I'nion Churches. These report a total of 56 members (see Eighty-seventh Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association). Some of these 56 so reported tire members of the Episcopal Church and claim allegiance to it, of saying that they are associated with these I'nion Societies because of existing conditions. On Kauai over one-half of the English-speaking people, who belong to any Christian body, belong to the Church over which I preside. On the Island of Kauai we have a carefully prepared list of Hi) communicant members of the Episcopal Church, whose names we are willing to show to any one interested. A number of these SO are included in the lid members of the Union Churches reported to the Hawaiian Board.

BREWSTER OLESON. * Letter from Bishop Restarick. Editor of Tiik Fhikni): I ask for space that I may make a statement with reference to an article in your November issue entitled "A Courteous Protest." In that article I am accused of intending to "take advantage" of those "courtesies" which where last .lanuary the Rev. Canon Simpson held services at the request of the people while he was staying with the Knudsens. This Church, we understand, is an independent one, which we find by reference makes no report to some one to minister to them. They want the sacraments administered to them according to their convictions. They believe that it is my duty to try to minister to them. When I first, visited Kauai I saw the the Hawaiian Board. existing conditions and knew that the No request has ever been made by me controlling interests were generally adnor by any of our clergy for the use verse to my doing anything. I went to �the Island occasionally after that. Bap- Men Working for Men tizing and administering the Holy Communion. It was only when a definite proposition was made as to services that we began regular work. The work which we have done on Kauai has been ministering to our own people, greatly to the joy and comfort of many. I do not think our Christian friends of other names realize how dear the Mother Church and her services are to her children, how they can never feel at home elsewhere, and how strongly some of them hold to the principles which they have been taught. There are scattered people on Kauai who are as loyal to their Mother Church as ever, though they have been cut off from her regular ministrations for years. Have I done wrong or have I fomented divisions by ministering to the loyal children of a Mother Church most dear to them? I leave it to fair-minded people to answer the question. Now I have a proposition. Suppose it is recognized that in these Union Churches there are members of the Episcopal Church. Is it a part of any compact of the Union Churches of Kauai that these should not be allowed by agreement to have a clergyman of their choice to minister to them occasionally or even regularly? That is all we have been doing. If the I'nion Churches refuse to recognize the facts U they exist, then we should be driven to build a Church in some central place, and to put in a resident clergyman,— for minister to our people we must and shall. However, the resolutions passed at Koloa are based on surmises and not on any plans laid down by us. As to "strife of deiiominationalisni." which the Rev. Mr. Oleson hopes will not be introduced, I will say that it has unhappily been introduced in places where for years we had held the English-speaking field. The Hawaiian Board saw fit to send workers to these places sometimes in the face of the protests of the people generally. If I am permitted to do so. I will state these cases in the next issue of The Friexd plainly and kindly, that the facts may be known, and fair judgment made. HENRY B. RESTARICK.

These young men are not objects of charity, but are paying as large a proportion of the expenses of the institution themselves as that defrayed by the tuition fees of most college men, the tuition fees practically de- fraying the cost of instruction. HOME RULE AND PROHIBITION. The Home Rule position on the most recent temperance issue is most plausible. It is substantially this,—"Prohibition may or may not be a good thing. If it is. let the Territory secure its passage in its own legislature. We are able to take care of our own affairs. To ask Federal intervention is to admit inability to handle this and other questions." Such an argument as the foregoing has captured both houses of Hawaii's legislature and silenced some effort in behalf of Senator Johnson's Bill 1862 in favor of Federal enactment of Prohibition. Whether the action of the legislature has seriously affected the chances of the Bill's success is doubted by many, who argue as follows: If there is need of action on the part of Congress to protect the native people and U. S. garrisons from drink deterioration, that need is the more emphasised by what looks like legislative protection of liquor interests in the guise of local patriotism. A protest of the liquor people was to he expected. That Mr. Cohen, who candidly announces himself as the representative of the California Wine Ass'n.. should voice this protest in a concurrent resolution was in line with the nature of things. That he should work on the patriotic susceptibilities of his colleagues" was his good generalship. That he played on the pique of the legislators who had not been consulted, while "Woolley. a stranger, had originated a bill and on his own responsibility was trying to force it over the heads of the 11 FRIEND people," this was more luck than he de- away."

They often teach you more about yourself than do the compliments of a friend." �December, 1909 THE FRIEND, 12 Range Lights By JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D. When this issue of The Friend reaches the reader, the Sixty-first Congress will be in session at Washington. The usual pack of jackall bills will introduce themselves. But they will have poor hunting. Lions of legislation will have the field, and Conservation will be King. On National Resources. "Conservation," as employed in the Roosevelt Magna Charta, means salvation of trees and mines and streams and soils and scenery,—in peril, now, of greed, or recklessness, or vandalism. Fire-protection and axe-protection, for forests, are to be provided, and water-powers are to be snatched from the jaws of the Trust crocodile. And it is well. The national resources, material and aesthetic, are the people's birthright. Good statesmanship will guard them jealously, and good citizenship will put the seal of popular appreciation on the work. Prompt action by the Territorial authorities has brought the claims and conditions of Hawaii into the body of the movement. Without dissent, the great convention at Spokane voted that Congress ought to include these islands in its scheme of saving and development. —all the more because of their less ability and greater need than the mainland. Power Going to Waste. But is not "life more than meat, and the body than raiment t" Hawaiian women need protection more than Hawaiian trees. Hawaiian men need development in civic fruitfulness more than Hawaiian lands need irrigation. Man-power is going to waste faster than water-power, here. The liquor trade is cutting off the prospects of the Hawaiian natives, as relentlessly as the improvident Kings destroyed the sandalwood. For nearly a hundred years the missionary spirit has fought the parasite that feeds on the new top-shoots of The measure of its failure is the gain of the liquor-dealer. Christian civilization cannot hold its own, in a system of liquor licensing, against the moral pirates of the Pacific, whose rhetoric has coupled and standardized the expressions "damned missionary," and "damned kanaka." The missionary brought a hard proposition to the barbarian—"Deny yourself;" "Respect yourself;" "Employ yourself;" "Know yourself." The liquor dealer left that out of sight in the rear, with his dirty evangel, "Indulge yourself;" "Enjoy yourself;" "Forget yourself." character. Liberty and Liquor. The soundest and strongest heeded the high word, and grew and thrived. The tabu saved the weak, in a measure, for a while, and then, the law, also. But the Kings indulged themselves, and, in clouded judgment, listened with favor to the sort of white men that make "liberty" and "liquor" synonyms; and gave the traffic legal life and character. It grew, of course, in power and insolence, and when at last it demanded the repeal of the law forbidding the sale of drink to natives, it was given; and the government threw its children to the sharks of trade and politics. Federal Support of Lawlessness. And now the struggle is to "regulate" the sharks. The license commissions feel constrained to authorize about 160, in the Territory. But the Collector of Internal Revenue has issued for the year over five hundred liquor-dealer's Federal special tax receipts. Omitting a dozen rectifiers, and the like, who require no Territorial license, more than three hundred liquor dealers are known to be violators of the local law. In fact a correct census of illicits would show far more than that. These are the smaller and least-harmful sharks. I only mention them to show how impotent the native authorities are to cope with such a public enemy. The license commission of Honolulu forbids the sale of liquors on Sunday, and the licensed dealers, generally, obey. But the brewery output Mows, seven days in the week, in spite of law. As if the poverty and the brewery and the licensed dram-shops of Kakaako were not enough to damn the district, a lot of "blind pigs" combine with a lot of drunken marines, to make each night a reign of terror to the decent there. So the sentiment of seventeen treaty nations, in favor of protecting natives of these seas from drink, goes begging. So the law of Congress, to protect the soldier and the sailor, comes to naught. So the teaching of the public schools, that alcohol is a poison, is made ridiculous to children's minds. So the police power of the Territory wears a dunce-cap. So the steeple of the church, the greatest organization on this earth, slopes upward like an idiot's forehead, while the dram-shop exploits the native race that the church came to seek and to save. A Rat in the Cane. Make no mistake, through tenderness of feeling. The drink-seller knows no power but force. He is a cut-worm at the root of human progress. He is a rat in the cane. He is a beetle in the rose-garden. But we must discriminate between the drink-seller and the MAN, in the drink-seller. One is a beast of prey, to be hated and hunted and blotted out. The other is a victim of conditions for which all of us are to blame. No quarter for the drink-seller! Help for the MAN—a chance to break stone, sweep crossings, drive a cart, something, anything, honest and helpful! The Territory cannot solve the problem alone. We have a right to Federal aid. and can get it, if the Christian people of the Islands put their hands and hearts to it. Write to some member of Congress and implore his active help to pass Senate Bill 1862. �December, 1909. Educational Advance F. W. DAMON THE TEACHING PROFESSION. The November "The World's Work" contains an article demanding more than passing notice. Under the caption. "The Confessions of a Successful Teacher," an article is written reflecting seriously upon the profession of teaching and upon teachers in general. The article is most unfair. Half-truths are told, inferences made, certain conditions are emphasized, and conclusions drawn entirely misleading. The writer, who. by the way. seems to lack the courage to sign his name, presumes to speak for "just all of us" teachers. He says and puts in italics, "we hate our work" and "we are ashamed of our profession. Speaking for myself, and I am sure I voice the sentiment of many others, I neither "hate" my work, nor am I "ashamed of my profession." I "regret" the writing and publishing of the article, and I am "ashamed" of the writer who has the temerity to sign himself "a successful teacher." I protest against the incorrect use of the verb "hate." I protest against the sentiment the writer expresses. I protest against the publishing of an unsigned article. I protest against the article as a whole and the separate parts. I do not deny that the abuses the writer depicts exist. Unpleasant experiences, trying hours, heart-rending moments come in teaching. No one denies this. Certain days come in the teacher's life that use every particle of his strength and courage, and the evening finds him literally worn out with the annoying worries of the day. Is the minister free from the same experience? Do not the lawyers, doctors, merchants, business men. —indeed all men and Women who occupy positions of trust and responsibility,—have the same experiences? Why should this distressed cry come from the teacher? The teaching profession is poorly paid. No one denies it. Earnest efforts are being made to better these conditions. Other professions are poor- ' THE 13 FRIEND ly paid—ministers, social workers, Y. M. C. A. officers, etc. Politics enters into appointments in many places. Is this confined to teaching? Pull exists. Does it exist nowhere else? The inexperienced teacher often finds it hard to get her first school. Is not this true of most beginners? The writer divides his subject. He says, "Teaching is hateful at best." His argument is the difficulty of securing and holding a position. The reason needs no further comment than this. Hundreds of new teachers are beginning each year without serious difficulty. Some are eliminated from the ranks each year. I have not noticed any perceptible decrease in the numbers of experienced teachers. Individual cases of loss of position through "pull." ignorance of school boards, undoubtedly exist. The writer declaims against the woman trustee. To my mind the women members of school boards have done much to raise the standard of such boards. The next three headings. "Trying to Please Everybody," "A Token of Regard." "Sham and Hypocrisy Widespread," are absurdly developed. The whole article shows a lack of appreciation of opportunity, a violation of trust, a condition of mind that should brand him at once as one unfit to teach, much less to speak for teachers. The author of this protest has nearly fifty teachers either directly or indirectly under him. He has a fairly broad acquaintance with teachers of public and private schools, here in Honolulu, in the East, and in the Middle West of the United States. After more than twenty years of teaching, he can say with all sincerity that these conditions do not exist sufficiently to justify anyone in making the general I have seen abuses. statements. Among the thousands and thousands of teachers, some very bitter experiences can be recorded. But to pick out the unusual and make them stand for the whole is unprofessional, unfair, and untrue. The next heading is, "Teachers Ashamed of Their Profession." I have never known a good teacher who was ashamed of his profission. I glory in my work. I know my colleagues are not ashamed of their calling. I know of no teacher in public or private schools, man or woman, who feels any desire to hide his occupation. Some tire of the work. Some grow discontented. Some seek other fields. Some find themselves unqualified. Some few are embittered and say harsh words of their work. None of these are ashamed of the profession. Some may be envious of the position of others. Those who have changed their occupations continue to speak pleasantly of their teaching days. We regret our failures. We bemoan opportunities lost. But ashamed of our work—never! We have an optimism that will not down. The final heading, "Men Teachers Are Low-Grade," is not pleasing reading for men teachers. Is it true? The readers of this article must answer. Run over the list of the fifty or more men teachers in Honolulu; ask yourself if these men are low-grade. Let me suggest a few names as a beginning to the list—Professor Alexander, Professor Scott. Professor Wood, President Griffiths, President Gilmore, Principals Baldwin, Davis and Merrill, Mr. F. W. Damon. Mr. W. 11. Babbitt. This list can lie multiplied many times in the public and private schools of the city, and in the Board of Education. Are these men the left-overs, are they young men who have taken up the work for a year or two, or are they men "lacking in the indispensable masculine qualities of backbone, independence and self-reliance"? These,are the three classes to which the writer, who does not sign his name, consigns the men teachers. The women teachers fare little better at his hands. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the subject. The pessimistic view taken by the magazine writer is inexcusable in a teacher. Any individual who continues to occupy a position of teacher through many years and believes the words written, has no justification in continuing. Better be a day laborer of the lowest type, better starve, than to carry either consciously or unconscious- ly such ideas into a school-room to poison the minds there assembled. To carry such ideas into a school-room, even under a smirking exterior, is little less than criminal. "As a man thinketh. so is he." PERLEY L. HORNE. �THE 14 December, 1909 FRIEND, 8.

The Ladies' Bazaar has come and gone and there is now only a pleasant memory of it left. The Parish House grounds never presented so gay an appearance. With flags and streamers of every nationality strung across from church to parish house, and from tree to tree; with prettily decorated booths occupying every available nook, laden with every imaginable dainty and presided over by charming ladies ; with the Hawaiian Band filling- the air with sweet strains; and all under Hawaii's fairest summer skies, even though the calendar said it was November, — who could resist buying amid such an enchanting environment? The Bazaar was declared open at 2 o'clock and, although there was an admission fee, anxious buyers soon thronged the grounds and filled the Parish House, where plain-sewed articles of clothing, fancy work, dolls, curios, etc., were on sale. By 5 o'clock practically everything was sold. The only auction necessary was at the delicatessen table, where those who lingered got some great bargains in cakes, pies, canned fruits, and jellies. When all was over and the Treasurer counted the coin it was found that . THE 15 FRIEND $1,020 had been cleared. So from a financial as well as from an artistic point of view the Bazaar was a splendid success. But the money was by no means the principal nor the most important result. The membership saw its opportunity and planned to make the most of it. Two committees of five hustling ladies each engaged in a lively contest for new members, the one committee tagging those whom they secured as members with red tags and the other with blue. In this way 170 new members were added, bringing the total membership up close to 250 now. With this large membership and with funds in the treasury the Ladies' Society is now ready to do some important work in and for the church. A number of things have already been suggested, and we doubt not we shall soon see abundant evidence of their work. An Auspicious Opening. The Men's League started its second year's work Monday evening. Nov. 22, with a better enthusiasm even than characterized all of last year's meetings. One hundred and thirty men sat down to supper in the Parish House at 6:30. An hour later Chairman J. P. Cooke started the business session by calling for nominations for officers for the new year. Although many of those present felt that last year's officers should be reelected, it seemed the wiser policy to elect an entirely new set. In short order and with remarkable unanimity the following were elected: Officers—W. F. Dillingham. Chairman; Perley L. Home, Vice-Chairman; I. H. Beadle, Secretary; R. R. Reidford, Treasurer. ( ouncillors—Geo. W. Woodruff, Dr. W. (' Hobdy, J. P. Cooke. S. Dc Freest, W. J. Forbes. Paul Super. The Chairman has since made up his Cabinet by appointing the following section leaders: Friendship, W. A. Bowen; Social, J. A. Rath; Civic, A. L. Castle; Religious Work, Theo. Richards; Sunday School, C. H. Tracy; Bible Study, C. R. Frazier; Bible Representation. J. A. Wilder; Musical, Wm. A. Love; Sunday Evening Service, J. W. Gihnore; Mid-Week Service, Ed Towse; Welcoming, Dr. A. B. Clark. Spirited reports were then submitted by the Chairman, Treasurer, and by the various section leaders, showing that some very tangible results were secured along a number of lines. The Chairman in his report spoke especially of the splendid work of the leaders of the Friendship, Social, Civic, Bible Study, and Mid-Week Service sections. A Task Worth While. But the best part of the evening came when the Chairman raised the question as to what the League shall undertake for this year and introduced Dr. W. C. Hobdy. who spoke most effectively on "Fighting the White Plague." If anyone needed any convincing that here was the biggest problem now facing us, Dr. Hobdy's telling arguments certainly would have done it. Following him came Mr. Rath, who set forth the general plan of campaign as mapped out by the Red Cross Society. The part which it was hoped the Men's League would assume was the equipment and maintenance of a playground school for the tuberculous children, who would have to be removed from the public schools. The men by this time were so deeply interested that it was unanimously voted to undertake this work. The Chairman appointed as a special committee to raise the necessary funds Messrs. Abram Lewis, Jr., Willard E. Brown, and Perley L. Home. The following letter, already issued to the men of Central Union, shows how they propose to do it: November 22, 1909. Sir: — Dear We need the help of every man in Hawaii interested in lessening the ravages of the great white plague in this Territory.

Dellaan. the young man from Oberlin Theological Seminary who, with his bride, is en route to China, had finished his address at our mid-week service, Wednesday evening, Nov. 10, on "World Citizenship and Its Challenge," someone remarked. "It's a shame to send such good material to China." Judging from the evident view of that person, the same might well have been said Sunday morning, Nov. 21. after the Rev. James McClure Henry, another young man of the same fine type, also headed for China, had delivered a most forceful sermon on"The Church's One Foundation." Thank Cod. the American Church has awakened to the fact that only the best are good enough to meet the unparalleled opportunity now offered in this great Empire of the East, and we in Honolulu thank God for the privilege of having these noble young knights of the cross with us for a brief visit and then to give them God-speed toward their field of labor. We feel that in a real sense they now belong to us and that we shall have a share in the victories which they are bound to win for Christ in China. * When a man of reduced circum- stances, a member of the Wailuku Jap- anese Church, died recently in that community, nine young men. fellow Christians, dug the grave with their own hands, and provided for him a respectable burial. chair called a "manele." and borne on the shoulders of stalwart men. The vision of beauty from the eastern bank of llanapepe valley, which burst upon the entranced stranger as he looked down for the first time upon the green quilt of taro patches, has not faded from my memory. The hardygrained rice has now supplanted the taro and fills the fertile valley. A thatched house, our early abode in the Koloa station, was burnt down through the carelessness of one of the domestics, after a few months of occupancy. Thus no small portion of the household effects of the young family disappeared in smoke. An early enterprise was the erection of a large adobe church building, with a thatched roof. Corrugated iron roofing was an invention of later years. This first church was erected upon the site of the present Koloa Church edifice. But more difficult than the erection of church or parsonage was the work of enlightening the hearts and minds of the long-benighted people.

There were but few horses and Father Gulick brought to Kauai the no wheeled vehicles at that time on first wagon, probably the first wheeled Kauai. The journey was not made in vehicle, that had been seen. He also a coach or automobile.

The Hawaiian chiefs and people were early fascinated with a desire to possess the art of reading and writing. The pioneer missionaries providentially adopted the Latin or Italian system of vowel sounds by which all Hawaiian words are indicated to the eye with great simplicity and unerring certainty. To learn to read in Hawaiian costs but a small fraction of the labor requisite for the acquisition of the art in most other languages. In 1839, nineteen years from the foundation of the mission, the translation and publication of the Hawaiian version of the Bible was completed, and the most of the people had acquired some facility at reading. The New Testament had been completed some years earlier. Ppon the arrival at Koloa of perhaps the first invoice of New Testaments, a woman from Kukuiula came bringing some potatoes, or perhaps a chicken wherewith to purchase a Testament. Money, or coin, was not yet in circulation. 1 saw the joy of this country Woman as with tears she received the precious book and thrust it into her bosom. To her it was the word of God, imparting the Light of Life. Higher criticism she had not heard of. The Great Awakening of the years 1836-1838 moved Kauai as it did the other Islands, and indeed as it did all the churches of the group. Such scenes witness to the power of the Holy Spirit as did the outpouring upon the first Pentecostal day. Of temporal prosperity and business leadership Koloa had a large share. The Koloa Sugar Plantation, commenced by Ladd & Hooper in the early forties, was perhaps the second upon the Islands in the order of time; this and the silk-producing enterprise of Mr. Sherman Peck, were the two largest ventures of those early days. The unbroken succession of sixty-six or sixtyseven crops of sugar attest the wisdom of the pioneers of this enterprise, and the abounding fertility of the soil. Of the growth of the schools and the 17 THE FRIEND. churches which cover the land, of the incoming of the Asiatic races, of the establishment of a liberal government with its legislative assemblies, its courts of justice, time allows but the briefest mention.

By letter just received by Mr. T. Richards from Rev. Paul Vernier, we learn of the death, July 26th. of Rev. S. Kauwealoha of the Marquesas Island mission. Mr. Oleson also has a letter from Mr. Samuel Kekela mentioning the same event and speaking of the sorrow of the kindred and of all the people at the departure of the good man, the honored missionary. The Hawaiian Mission to the Marwas founded by the Churches of Hawaii in 1853. The first company who went out consisted of Rev. James H. Kekela. the first of the ordained native pastors, the Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha of Maui, Mr. Lot Kuaihelani. and Mr. Isaia Kaiwi. These all were married men. Mr. James Bicknell also offered himself and was for several years a valuable member of the mission. Rev. B. W Parker, then missionary at Kaneohe, went with the company for a short visit. The two leading men, Kekela and Kauwealoha, were boon companions through their more than half a century of missionary service, during which they saw the roughest savages of Polynesia transformed from the darkest heathen into civilized and Christian people. Mr. Kekela by two or three returns to Hawaii, maintained acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches ami people. But it is doubted whether Mr. Kauwealoha ever once returned to visit his native land. Rev. Paul Vernier, speaking of Mr. Kauwealoha. says:"The death ef that servant of God sadly affected us. He was a very good old man, a genuine and energetic Christian, hut the burden of years and infirmities was rather heavy on him. I can tell you that he left this world in full possession of faith in our King and Savior. He honored quesas Islands Union Pacific Transfer Co., "d. BAGGAGE, SHIPPING, STORAGE, WOOD, PACKING, COAL.
