K. Kalihi Settlement. The formal opening and dedication of the roomy, tasteful, well located and most convenient chapel and settlement headquarters on King street, near the junction of Kamehameha IV Road was held on the evening of January 3. This promising enterprise bids fair to become a vigorous self-supporting church before long. Having behind it the combined strength of both the Hawaiian Board and Central Union Church, and being already intrenched in the affection of the people of that section of town we look for largt. growth. Rev. Horace W. Chamberlain, the leader, took up the work in connection with our old established Kalihi and Moanalua Church some years ago and has been very successful. It soon became evident that the center for growth was south and west of the Hawaiian Church building. Fortunately the Board owned a lot presented by Mr. P. C. Jones at th< point of largest vantage. Mr. Chamber lain set about securing funds, met with generous encouragement and the result is the present building. There are ample accommodations for boys' and girls' clubs, a large hall suitable for basket ball and gymnastic exercises, rooms fori No. i lockers, baths, etc. A play ground is available not far off. Between thirty and forty persons will be received into church membership at the new center and form the nucleus of a vigorous church. Central Union people will be called upon to help out with teachers and other workers. The soldiers at Fort Shafter will be made welcome in many ways. Mr. Chamberlain is very enthusiastic and the prospects for the new work are most encouraging. Ecclesia&ticallv the enterprise will be a branch of Central Union Church, the whole energy of which will be behind it. The Camp Nuisance. To have a huge, rough building, crowded with tiny rooms and destined for a mass of humanity regardless of the sanctities of the Christian family dumped down next to one's home is an outrage. It is, however, no less an outrage to have such a menace to society placed anywhere in the Territory. While we sympathize with the efforts made by residents of Makiki to keep out tenements, we believe the agitation to be on entirely too narrow lines. There is no reason why such tenements should be suffered to threaten the purity of the home anywhere in the city. The sugar plantations have been taught the salutary lesson that if they would have contented effective laborers they must encourage home life among them. Already some plantations have begun to put a premium upon stable, happy families by promising to set married people in cottages upon little plots of land which can be beautified and made homelike. This is wise strategy. Honolulu ought to have drastic anti-slum legislation and its men of wealth would do well to emulate the example of Buffalo with its many miles of tasteful workingmen's cotages. It would not require too much capital to secure a large tract of land with rapid transit facilities and erect thereon little houses suitable for the families of workingmen, at the same time that legislation limiting the erection of menacing tenements be enacted. It is well to begin the crusade by passing laws which will stand the test of the courts to help Makiki out of its dilemma. Such once secured the good work can be pushed into other sections of the town until all be covered. �4 The Cost of Strategy. None of us can picture the changes that the transformation of Oahu into a Malta is bound to effect. Some faint suggestion thereof is borne in upon the mind when one visits Wahiawa and contemplates the little city which is being laid out on the sloping upland of Lcilehua. It is reported that the plans contemplate the erection of three hundred buildings of reinforced concrete to accommodate a force of 4,000 men. What this will mean to Wahiawa it is hard to calculate. Many acres now devoted to pineapples will of necessity be given over to market gardens. Modest fortunes will be made by a few able to foresee and meet this demand, for the day of fast trains and low freights between Wahiawa and Honolulu will soon be upon us. It is quite conceivable that a rival residential center will cover that beautiful plateau, lour thousand soldiers will demand a large colony to minister to them. The wonderful salubrity of the Wahiawa climate will tempt residents in ever enlarging numbers. All these conditions will react upon one another increasing the attractiveness of the region. Problems of rapid transit will come to the front. It is conceivable that population will seek the foothills, necessitating a development of suburbs back of the line of railway between Honolulu and Wahiawa. From being a provincial town Honolulu will then grow into a real metropolis with varied problems and a far more complex life. Our municipal act, however, will tend to maintain a solidarity of interests that will impress a distinctive character upon the growing community. Pearl City may become somewhat more of a geographical center between the Honolulu and Wahiawa ends of the more densely populated portion of the scattered municipality. Altogether the prospect is one of very deep interest, but just how the development will come no one would be bold enough to attempt to forecast. Chamber of Commerce Resolutions. No more important action for Hawaii has been taken in a long time than that by the Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Messrs. W. R. Castle, B. F. Dillingham, G. R. Gait, F. J. Lowrey and others on December 9 with reference to This the Coastwise Shipping Laws. body of men being closely connected with American shipping interests could hardly have been expected to take as independent a stand upon this question as is required by the interests of the mass of the people of the Territory. It speaks flumes for their high mindedness and unselfish devotion to the public weal therefore that the members turned a deaf ear to the pleadings THE FRIEND. of those of their number who represented the shipping interests and passed the set of resolutions calling upon Congress to relieve the passenger situation here by granting the right of freedom of travel. The Territory owes a debt of gratitude to the public spirit of the men who engineered this action. The resolutions do not -urge the abstract right involved in this question of transportation nor do they touch upon the matter of freight, but modestly request relief from the intolerable passenger-traffic burdens now imoosed upon the people of Hawaii. J*s (5* Jr* J* \tW *!*• The Justice Of It. It is difficult to see how any fairminded American can reconcile the statement of the Declaration of Independence, '"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," with the denial by Congress to the people of Hawaii of free travel and transportation of goods. If these Islands were a part of the mainland so that movement of himself and his goods by himself were not rendered impossible to every man, the question would wear a totally different face. By our very isolation and because of the nature of sea travel we are dependent upon great transportation companies. In this era of combination it is inevitable that these will unite to impose unjust charges in the case of Islands so small and so distant if they are guaranteed all the trade by the Nation. That is the situation today. Congress has lxnmd us hand and foot and has delivered the monopoly of exploiting the trade of these Islands to a few companies strong enough to maintain lines of steamers. Every one knows that freight and passenger rates to Hawaii are above the point of justice. The Coastwise Shipping Laws by their very name show that they were not meant to apply to transoceanic trade. They are an infringement upon our liberty, to say nothing of their restriction upon our pursuit of happiness. It is perfectly safe to affirm that if every resident of the United States could live in Hawaii for a short time and experience the galling sensation of being denied the right to return to the mainland when the necessities of business or of home affection or of the health of his family demanded immediate passage in a foreign ship, the onrt vessel scheduled to sail for a week or ten days, he would demand in the name of fair play the total exemption of Hawaii from "the passenger provisions of the Coastwise Shipping Laws. If lured here by promotion literature he wished to market his produce, he would speedily instruct his Congressman to fight for corresponding January, 1909. freight exemption. The people ol the United States are very sensitive to an appeal for justice. If we can only get our case presented to them, there is no question what the decision will be. WHICH SHALL IT BE? Recently a discussion was started among a company of Honolulans concerning leprosy in this Territory. At a large public meeting in one of the city churches, not long before, the speaker, fully conversant with the leprosaria of the world, presented dark figures as to the prevalence of the disease here, showing that if the proportion that pertains in Hawaii were the same in India there would be ten times as many le|x?rs there as now are found. More recently it has been stated that the policy of segregation as practiced in Hawaii is not lessening the scourge as scientific segregation is doing elsewhere. The main cause for this is the fact that leprosy among the I lawaiians does not evoke the horror with which it has been associated from time immemorial thruout A.sia, the chief habitat of the disease. It is very singular that the Bible which has had such a powerful influence among the Islanders during the last 60 years has failed entirely to imbue the Hawaiian ])cople with its conception of the loathsomeness of leprosy. The natives seem incapable of regarding the disease with disgust or fear. It seems almost a case of the deadly snake charming his victim. Years of warning against contact with the infected have had apparently no influence. If the Hawaiians were left perfectly free to act out their will, some of those best acquainted with them think there would soon be an end of the settlement on Molokai and unless immunity were established the race would quickly succumb. It is certainly one of the most remarkable phenomena in human history. This absence of fear and loathing for the malady has given the sentiment of pity for the diseased, who are compelled to leave home and be segregated for life, the opportunity to assert itself with such strange power, that Hawaiians not only do not report cases of leprosy but actually conceal them. They have even resorted to force to prevent segregation. Consequently, as is well known, there are not a few cases of leprosy which the authorities fail to discover. The policy of segregation is therefore only a part policy. Being such it cannot be expected that the scourge will be speedily lessened, to say nothing of its being stamped out. Yet it is very widely known and admitted throughout the Islands that life in the leper settlement is made as happy as possible for the sick folk congregated there. In not a few cases where a mis- �January, 1909. taken diagnosis lias been made and patients sent to Kalaupapa have been given permission to return home, it is said that they have been unwilling to leave the settlement Hawaii's official treatment ~i leprosy in her segregation center has formed one of the notable chapters in the story of man's kindness to man. We have reason to be proud of the noblest leprosarium in the world. But we have failed not because of this kindness, but because segregation-has not been rigidly maintained. Will matters ever improve? The Wallach incident gives no hint of a possibility of better things as long as the conduct of affairs here remains in the hands of the people of the Territory unless a change of heart unexpectedly supervene. Just at this point we meet the vital factor in the whole discussion—no part of this earth exists for itself alone, least of all Hawaii. The world is one, and the world is at our doors. The United States will soon have several thousands of her voting men domiciled here as soldiers. Can the Nation afford to expose these men to infection and then complacently view the possibility of their carrying that infection thruout the States and Territories from which they come? The Panama canal will soon be dug and the sliipsof the world will rendezvous in our harbors. Will the world regard kindly 1 lawaiian tolerance of leprosy ? It is proposed by some on the mainland that a special National Department of Health be created at Washington to conserve the physical well being of the entire United States. Hawaii's experience with leprosy suggests that the sooner this be done the better and that the whole business of coping with the leper problem lure be turned over to this Department with power to act. We ire apt to go into hysterics in this community whenever the word leprosy is mentioned. A noted traveler says he saw a leper on the wharf and our people have a fit. Rumor has it that this traveler when remonstrated with replied that when the committee could assure him that no leper was at large in tbe Islands outside of the Molokai Settlement he would retract his statement. Tin-: FRIEND does not believe that concealment of the truth in this or any such vital matter is conducive to the public weal. The true lover of the Hawaiians is the friend who will point out that their tolerance of leprosy is fatal to themselves and a menace to both the Nation and the world, that if they do not cease to play with the disease the Nation must step in and regulate it with iron hand and that it is infinitely better for them to let medical science have its way fully, to seek the highest expert opinion as to how to make THE FRIEND. 5 segregation complete, to cooperate loyally now many copies of this dictionary, with song books.

Super. �6 THE FRIEND. OUR HILO CHURCHES. Surely Hilo is not an underchurched community. It has never been such. For, from the early days of the mission when the first Church was established, there has been an orderly succession of Churches to meet the specific needs of all the nationalities represented in Hilo's growing population. First, in 1825, came the Haili Church, with its phenomenal membership, making it one I the historic Churches of the rid. Its present building, the cessor of two previous structures, was erected fifty years ago. For many years Hawaiians and foreigners worshipped together in this Church under the able ministrations of those missionary apostles, Coan and Lyman. The present structure is ample and imposing with an attractive interior, and seating easily six or seven hundred people. In 1867, the First Foreign Church was organized and has ever since been one of the most pronounced factors in the social, moral and religious life of Hilo. It now occupies a comparatively new and beautiful building, erected on the site of the former one, which was altogether inadequate for the growing demands of this influential Church. In 1890, a Japanese Church was organized under most auspicious conditions, and it has had ever since a wholesome growth though necessarily a slow one. In 1892, the demand was so insistent, that a Portuguese Church organized. This Church has an honorable and useful X January, 1909. career under able and devoted ministers, and is housed in an at- tractive and commodious building. The last of the quintet of Churches to be organized was the Chinese, which was formed in 1901. This Church is meeting a real need but is doing it in the face of a stolid indifference that will keen it a missionary enterprise indefinitely. These five Churches, until five years ago, were the only Protestant Churches in Hilo. Their rec- useful one: for they have provided the privileges of religious worship and instruction to men of all classes, and of every nationality. Surely Hilo is not, and has not been, since the advent of Christianity here, an underchurched community. The missionary instinct has been sure and clear, and the Christian people of Hilo for over eighty years have been alert to enter e\ cry open door of opportunity in providing Church organizations and Church buildings for every clear need. In a very real sense, Hilo's chief glory is in her Churches. We take great pleasure in presenting a group picture of these Churches that all our readers may realize how great an asset Hilo has in these her temples of worship. The Church at the top of the page is the Portuguese; the one at the right next below is the Hawaiian, the one at the left the First Foreign; the next in order is the Japanese; and the lower one the Chinese.

After a pleasant voyage of about 10 days we are now within sight of the mountains of Japan On one side the smoking volcano of Noshima, and a little further on Mt. Fuji stands boldly out in the morning sunshine with a spotless white cap of snow. The sunrise, as seen over the ocean, was glorious this morning and gives reason for calling this land the "Sunrise Kingdom." N,ew friends have been made on the trip from Hawaii. Among our company are old and new missionaries for tliina, Japan and Korea (about forty i;-, number). Dr. Rossiter, pastor of the Union Church, is returning to Manila. Major Ray is also on his wayback to the Philippines, and Capt. HolCOmb is returning to Pekin. A party of special expert artists and engravers are going to Pekin on a six year contract, to help the Chinese government print and issue the new Imperial paper currency for the Empire. Hon. P. 11. C. Ciong, a young intelligent Chinese official, special commissioner to Mexico, is returning to bis home in Foochow. Dr. Joseph licech, president of a large West China College, is returning to S/. Chuan, where his college is to be a part of a great university. Both Mr. Ciong and Dr. Beech are much interested in the opium question and the coming Shanghai Conference. Mr. Ciong is an active member of China's Anti-Opium League, of which His Kxcellency Lin, grandson of Viceroy Lin of Canton, who sought to dc- •• 7 stroy opium at the time of the opium war of 1840, is the president. Mr. Ciong has furnished me letters of introduction to His Excellency Lin, now a high official at Pekin, and to others. I plan to go at once to Pekin and see these men, who arc interested in the fight against opium. The Special Ambassador, Hon. Tong Shao-Yi, when in Honolulu, told me how keenly he felt the fact that the S. S. "Mongolia," on which he was traveling, carried a large cargo of opium worth over a quarter of a million of dollars. This trade in opium from China to America is morally indefensable, and is fast bringing ruin to the Americans who are many of them acquiring the evil habit. Much of this opium also comes back again to Hawaii. The United States Congress should speedily pass laws to prohibit this vicious traffic. As a part of a delightful Thanksgiving Day service on board, the following petition was signed by a large number of the American citizens on board the "Manchuria": fluence towards the speedy enactment of laws for the suopression of the opium traffic in American territory and by American shins, so that the United States may both by examnle and effort aid in the freedom of China from this awful curse of opium.

There are certain well-defined feaof the policy of the Hawaiian Hoard in the conduct of its work that should have the amplest publicity. Thus, for instance, the Hoard recognizes its inherited obligation to conserve the interests of its Hawaiian Churches to the utmost of its ability. It believes in maintaining the work of the missionary fathers. It is convinced that it would be recreant to the trust .committed to it, if it did not employ every wise expedient to enhance the efficiency of those Churches in the changed conditions that confront them. It seeks in some measure to restore to those Churches the same kindly, sympathetic, wise, and naticnt supervision that meant so much to them in the days of the missionary fathers. Again, the Board accepts as a sacred obligation its dut" to sustain at strategic points an alert and intelligent missionary force for the evangelizing of non-Christian elements in our population. The urgency of such a policy is intensified when we realize that the signs all point to the permanent residence here of just these elements, that are bound to be a social menace of very real proportions if they be not permeated by the principles of Christian civilization. Again, the Board recognizes and proposes to heed the call to meet modern conditions with modern agencies. It discovers in congested neighborhoods the summons to any and every form of social effort that will elevate the home and protect the young and make the religion of Jesus Christ a vital factor in the redemption of the socially submerged. Again, the Board proposes to conduct its work according to the most approved methods of administration, making every dollar contributed to it count for the most possible in the discharge of its sacred trust. . jJsYe do not forget that there are other Christian forces at work here.

We propose to operate all our Church and missionary enterprises in tiie sinccrest spirit of Christian comity. We do not look with favor on the multiplication of Churches in fields alrcadv occupied ; but shall confine our efforts to the strengthening of our own legitimate and established agencies, and to the inauguration of new agencies in communities where other religious forces are not at work. We hold ourselves under sacred obligations to the Master not to desert any of our Churches or agencies, or to allow any of them to lack any measure of efficiency that we can promote in them. Beyond that we have no call to enter any field unless it be one where no other Christian force is now at work. That was a generous special offering made by Central Union Church on Sunday, Dec. 20. to the Hawaiian Hoard. 'The cash contribution was $1062 05. and the accompanying pledges of payments quarterly during the year, at last advices, footed up ■$324, thus makimr a total of $1386.95. 'This substantial indorsement of the policy and work of the Board is ex ceedingly gratifying to all concerned, and imposes fresh obligation to administer this stewardship of the Churches with the utmost wisdom and fidelity. The loss to the ranks of our Hawaiian ministers of two such devoted men as Rev. Messrs. Kaeo and Lutera within the past two months is a serious one. Who is to take the places of these fallen leaders ? Are our churches praying that our educated youth may hear the Divine call to service? In emergencies like this, we may well have faith in the Divine leading. Let us pray that our churches may have special prompting from on high in securing consecrated men who shall carry forward the work laid down by those who have gone to their reward. John Burns said to an audience of workingmen in London: "I believe that the best and most simple remedy for drink is abstinence, but this must be supnlemented by local or legislative action. One drink-cursed district, Liverpool, has. since 1889, added 78,000 to its population, reduced its police drunkenness cases from 16,000 to 4,180, its crimes from 926 to 552 per 100,000, its policemen by too. at a saving of £8,000 to the rates, by the simple remedy of having got rid of 345 licensed places in eleven years." There are encouraging facts that ought lend stimulus to our prayers. Three men have recently been ordained to the Gospel ministry, one of whom has begun his labors on Kauai, and another of whom may soon be at work elsewhere. One of our ablest young Hawaiian laymen is also in a fair way to be ordained and settled in an important field. to NOTES FROM WAILUKU.

The society from Kakaako Mission has thirteen different nationalities in its membership alone. It would be difficult to find anywhere a more cosmopolitan Endeavor Union than this one. It is an inspiration to see the splendid young manhood and womanhood which is being wrought out from every one of these races through the influence of these societies. What has long been the dream of Christendom is being literally fulfilled in this mid-Pacific Young People's Union. The barriers between the races are disappearing and all are truly OH4 in Christ Jesus. There was the usual interest in the awarding of the banner to the society having the largest per cent, of its memben present. Although Central Union had 38 out of its 47 members there, the banner went to the Makiki Japanese Society, which had 30 out of 34 present.' continue to receive it, not only in Central Union Church, but in all our Churches throughout the Islands. Central Union continues to exercise a paternal care over Kakaako Mission, and on Sunday evening, Dec. 6, the minister and two of the deacons of the Church, delegated for the purpose, received into the membership of the Church at the Mission fifteen young people whom Bro. Rider had been instructing for some time in the fundamentals of the Christian faith. To take the children of the street, as most of these were, of almost every nationality, and bring them to a clear understanding of their duty to Christ and to a willingness to live for Him is a most noble work. This is what Mr. and Mrs. Rider are doing in their quiet, faithful way day by day throughout the year.

She gave the young people a most inspiring address on the text, "Sirs, we would see Jesus," urging them always and at all times to remember that they represent Christ to the world, and if they will be true to Him the great reforms that have been so well begun by the present generation will be carried out to a glorious conclusion by the next.

Wm. llrewster Oleson occupied Central Union pulpit, presenting a most able and interesting statement of the work of the Hawaiian Board during the past year and setting forth its policy for next year. It was a strong appeal and one to which Central Union Church responded most generously as the splendid collection taken the Sunday after, Christmas Sunday, showed. Such wise and efficient administration of the missionary activities of the island deserves generous support, that it may push the work even more successfully. We believe that it will The regular Sunday evening service, Dec. 13, at Central Union was given over to a Hiram Bingham Memorial Service. Addresses were given by Dr. Scudder, who paid loving tribute to Dr. Bingham from the view point of his pastor; Rev. O. H. Gulick, his associate in his early missionary labors in the Gilbert Islands; Hon. P. C. Jones, his associate for more than 30 years on the Hawaiian Board, and Rev. Wm. Brewster Oleson, who, as a friend, spoke of the spirituality of the man, his large and magnetic personality. The choir, by special request, rendered the hymn, "Saved by Grace," and Mrs. Mackall sang to violin accompaniment "Nearer My God to Thee." The Church was well filled by friends who wished to share in this tribute to one whom they all honored and loved. 'The Bible School Christmas festival its exercises in the Parish House in the afternoon at 2 :30 and the other departments in the Sunday School Room in the evening. The attendance at both was larger than for many a year. 'The exercises consisted of music, recitations and Christmas Tree and old Santa Claus to distribute the presents, as this was the year when the scholars received gifts. On alternate years they bring gifts to be distributed among the poor children of the city and the islands.

The Social Section has had to very successful meetings. Dec. 10, the subject was ancient and modern cities, with special reference to the growth of Honolulu and its present social problems. December 17, papers were read on"The Housing Problem"; (a) The Relation of Tenements to Crime, Health and Morals; (b) The Problem in Other Cities and its Solution. This was followed by an open discussion of "Cottages or Tenements, Which?"

Rev. Mr. Shiraishi, the Japanese pastor at Kohala, recently organized a band of thirteen men on the Kohala Plantation into what he calls a Christian Endeavor Society, though at present they are all associate members: but he hopes to win many of the men to Christianity.

Social," to which friends were invited to come and did come. We had a full house as one would call it. and the program was carried out without a hitch. After thsßt sifjajß*aa*r etc.. light refreshments were served to all and were heartily appreciated; during the refreshments the Christian Endeavor members made themselves acquainted with one and all, talking to them on different topics, but more particularly of the work of the society, and what it is trying and endeavoring to do for all in the district.

You could'nt have it longer than that anyway. This is the idea of "The Conditional Gift Plan" Your money,—property, or whatever can be converted into money, —pays you a good steady income during your life and goes on working for you and for humanity after you are gone.

Hence the need that those who realize the importance of upholding the honor of the Christian nations in the far East in a moral and religious as well as in a political and commercial sense should come to its assistance. As the local foreign community is too small to bear this bur- den alone, and as the international scope of its work makes it an enterprise of far more than local significance, the directors feel justified in appealing to the people of America, as well as to the friends of seamen and soldiers everywhere, for an endowment fund of $25,000, and $5,000 for improvements. The Hon. W. 11. Taft, Secretary of War, said, after inspecting the Home: "I believe it to be worthy of support by all Americans," and the directors take the liberty to suggest that the Secretary's words are no less applicable to all English and Germans. To bring the needs of the institution to the attention of the public, the directors have appointed Mr. Jonas White as their representative, and hereby commend him to the confidence and support of all who have at heart the interests of those who represent in distant lands the flags of the American, English and German nations.

It has been the great privilege recently of the Superintendent of the Sunday Schools to make a tour of the islands of Maui and Lanai in the interests of the Association work. Leaving Honolulu at noon on the tenth of November I arrived in Wailuku that evening and became a guest of the Rev. and Mrs. Rowland B. Dodge at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage. The next morning we began our tour of the West Maui Churches and visited the people of Kahakuloa and Waihee, having good audiences at In.tli places. ()n Thursday we were obliged to travel forty-eight miles, because of the sad duty of attending the funeral of the Rev. Martin.. Lutera at the Keawakapu Church, Maketia. He was the first Hawaiian pasti.r to die during the three tears that Mr. Dodge has been on Maui. In the long list of Maui pastors there was none nunc faithful than he. During the last eighteen months his two Churches of Kanaio and Keawakapu have been thoroughly repaired and a third Church,' tli.it of L'lupalakua, newly organized and built. In all, these three Churches that Rev. Mr. Lutera served have raised in the last year and a half about $3200.00.

L. Paschall, has been added to the able staff at Lahainaluna. We then made calls in Lahaina, and visited the public school where again we made bri:f addresses at the tree-planting exercises. In the afternoon Rev. C. G. Burnham joined us in a visit to the Church at Kaanapali, where a large number of the day-school pupils and the Church people welcomed us and listened eagerly to the words of the three "haole kahunapules." In the evening of Friday a largely attended reception was given tbe Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Burnham, who are the charming new workers of the Board on the Lahaina side of Maui. Their parsonage was being rapidly put into good repair and a lanai dining-room planned for as a welcome addition to the house. Since our visit the house has been cntirelv completed by the efficient labor of Rev. I). W. K. White and the Burnhams are now occupying the parsonage, which borders on the new public park, given by the late Mrs. Campbell-Parker. JUDD. The Lahaina people have welcomed these new comers warmly. The Hoard may well be congratulated in their selection of these friends for this needy field. ()n Saturday we returned to Wailuku via Honokahau where we had a good meeting in the Church. Sunday was a busy day, for I visited the Japanese and Chinese Sunday Schools of Wailuku and the Hawaiian Sunday School of Waikapu and preached three times—at Kaahumanu, Waikapu and Union Churches—having the same number of Sunday services that Mr. Dodge has every Sunday at Wailuku and Waikapu. On Monday I went to Camp 2 at Spreckelsville with Rev. Mr. Tanaka, and Spoke to a company of Japanese Christians. Tuesday was a strenuous day. In the morning the minister's school, which is conducted every month by the Maui ministers, met in the Kaahumanu Church. There were seventeen pastors and workers present, some of them coming, as usual, twenty-five miles to attend this monthly meeting. There were three addresses delivered that morning, by the Rev. Mr. Waltrip of Kahului, Rev. Mr. Dodge and myself. After the lnorniner's program, the school was entertained at lunch by the ladies of the Church. TOUR OF EAST MAIL Later that same afternoon Mr. Dodge and I started on our tour of the eastern part of Maui. We held our first service at Kihei and were glad to be able to address all the natives of the community gathered in the Sunday School house. Messrs. Hayselden and Smith entertained us delightfully over night and the nexj/morning saw us depart early for Ulupalakua and Kanaiao. At both Gmrches we were received most cordially by the congregations lately bereft of their beloved pastor—Martino Lutera. After the largely attended service in the Ulupalakua Church we were entertained at lunch by Mrs. J. 11. Raymond in the beautiful old homestead built by the late Capt. Makce. In the afternoon we rode over to Keokea in Kula and visited the Chinese and Hawaiian Churches. After an early breakfast kindly provided by the hospitable Mrs. Kapohakimohewa we left Keokea an hour or two before daylight and made the ascent of Haleakala. It was a wonderful view that we had at the top of the ridge leading up from Ulupalakua. To the west we could see Wet Maui capped in white clouds and Molokai far beyond, while Lanai, Kahoolawc and Molokini looked most attractive in the early morning's golden light. To the southeast there loomed up above a dense bank of fleecy clouds that overhung the Alenuihaha Channel the three grand mountains of Hawaii, Mauna Kea, Manna Loa and Hualalai. The sight of the great crater of Haleakala was full of interest to us but I was more impressed by the grandeur and magnificent coloring in the crater itself than by the view from the summit. The trip across the floor of the crater and through the Kaupo gap was accomplished safely and comfortably and at dusk we found ourselves at the home of the Rev. David Murray in the Church; ard at Kaupo. A large and appreciative audience gathered in the newly repaired Church and listened to the service two hours and more in length. Several had come from quite a distance and tbey slept in the Church building so as to be on hand for an early morning prayer-meetirg the next day before we started for Kipahulu. After the morning service we crossed five tremendous gulches in the short space of six miles and came to the plantation village of Kipahulu. In the afternoon we visited the excellent public school taught by Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Taylor and found the boys busily engaged in clearing a lane of lantana and guava while the girls were being instructed in sewing by Mrs. Taylor. Under the guidance of these capable teachers the bo\s and girls have transformed the untidy school yard and approaches into a veritable little park. The pupils themselves are very neat and polite. In the evening the Church was filled with Hawaiians and Japanese and Koreans and everyone listened closclv to the addresses on Bible study and SundaySchool work. Saturday- morning we rode over in the rain to the Wananalua Church in Hana and held a ministers' school in two sessions, at which all the Hawaiian ministers of the easternmost part of Maui were present. The gathering proved to be very helpful to everyone. One old man showed his appreciation by his hearty hand-shakes and his "nui. nui, good-bye" and one old woman could hardly keep back the tears, she was so glad we had come. We rode on to Nahikti in the afternoon and made our headquarters over �January, 1909. Sunday at the home of Mr. C. J. Austin. Sunday morning there was a "Hoike" in the Sunday School hour and I was called upon to make a couple of addresses. Then came the installation of the Rev. J. K. Kahoopii, at which service I preached the sermon, the Rev. David Murray of Kaupo offered the installing prayer, the charge to the pastor was given by "Bishop" Dodge and the charge to the people by the Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa of liana. In the afternoon an interesting Christian Endeavor meeting concluded the day's services. Monday we took "the ditch trail" to Keanae, where we had two afternoon services in the Church, the first for the school children and the second for the older people. The next morning we rode along the sea coast on the lower trail, justly famous for its magnificent views of the ocean and shore and mountains. At Iltielo we broke bread at noon-day with Rev. Mr. Opunui and wife and were sorry that we could not have had a service with the people. We reached Pauwela before dusk and had an appreciative audience in the Haiku Hale, who had braved a rainstorm to hear us. After spending the night with friends at Hamakuapoko Mr. Dodge departed the day before Thanksgiving for his home in Wailuku while I remained in the Makawao district for a few days. It was a pleasure to have our Thanksgiving dinner with the Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Turner at "Sunnyside" and to talk over the Sunday School work. Mr. Turner and I visited Ihe native Church in Paia, near the sea, on Satttrdav night and made addresses in behalf of Sunday School work and temperance. Sunday morning I visited the Paia Portuguese Sunday School at the cordial invitation of the Rev. Mr. Santos and then preached at the morning service of tlie Makawao Union Church. In the evening I preached in the Kahului Union Church at Mr. Waltrip's invitation. This was my last service on Maui and the remainder of the time before leaving "the Yallev Isle" was spent in visiting the Wailuku Settlement and other friends in Wailuku and in Lahaina the Baldwin Home and the Kindergarten and other features of the Settlement work there, besides seeing again our new friends— Mr. and Mrs. Burnham. Mrs. Simpson, Miss Clapham atid Miss Knapp are doing excellent work at Lahaina and Miss Turner, Miss Towner, Miss Foltz and their assistants are doing splendid service at Wailuku. THE VISIT TO LANAI. Leaving Maui regretfully, for I had had a most interesting, helpful and delightful time during my tour of the is- THE FRIEND. land with Mr. Dodge, I sailed on the "Mikahala" in company with my mother in the late afternoon of December 2nd and reached the harbor of Manele, Lanai, after a pleasant trip of less than two hours. We were met by our kind friend, Mr. Charles Gay, and were entertained by him and his hospitable wife most charmingly for over a week. It is a source of great satisfaction to the Christians of these islands to know that this island is under the control and leadership of strong Christian workers, whose example and influence is counting mightily for the advancement of righteousness, peace and good-will on Lanai. The services in Lanaihale, the beautiful Church close by the sea at Keomuku, will always be remembered by us. Fully two-thirds of the population of the island were present that morning. The singing was a remarkable feature of the services, likewise the close attention and great interest manifested throughout all the ray's program. After the customary Sunday School service, at which I made a few remarks, there was the morning worship. Upon the platform were three ministers—the Rev. D. W. K. White of Laahaina, the Rev. J. J. Mathews of Waialua, Oahu, and myself. I was asked to preach the sermon. At the conclusion there was the reception of six former members of the Hoomana Naauao Church into the Lanaihale Church; a very impressive service which was followed by the baptism of two children whose parents had just united with the Church. Then the Lord's Supper was administered to these new mein£>ers and after the benediction was pronounced the old members came forward and greeted most heartily and affectionately those who had entered publicly upon their new Church life. It was a most impressive and helpful service to all present. On Sunday, Nov. 29th, at the anniversary of the building of the Lanaihale, completed five years ago, some members were received from the Hoomana Naauao Church and it is expected that others will be received from that Church. At sunset the Christian Endeavor Society held its meeting and it was most helpful and interesting, and was followed by evening worship, at which service the Rev. Mr. Mathews and myself preached. Thus ended a most enjoyable and inspiring day for us all, a day in which our faith was deepened, our hope quickened and our love broadened. It is worthy of interest to note that the men of the island do the preaching in rotation, the names of the preachers for the following month being announced at the last Sunday of, each month. This system of having tHe cowboys, fishermen and farmers of the island do the work 15 of preaching arouses much interest from everyone and proves to lie a source of great help to the men themselves. Might not this system lie beneficial in some of our ebuntry Churches where interest needs to be stirred up? Not very long ago, the question of having liquor on the island was submitted to the vote of the people and only three men put themselves on record as favoring the importation of strong drink to the natives of Lanai. You will not find today any intoxicated natives lying about on the beach at Keomuku as you would have been able to find quite easily seven or eight years ago. But you will find a sober, peaceable and industrious community of Hawaiians who largely go to the house of the Lord on Sunday to worship our Father in Heaven and then go out on Monday to live the Christian life and to enjoy the benefits of living on an island where the name of Jesus Christ is honored and praised, where the spirit of justice, kindness and good-will prevails, where the Lord's Day is observe* in a manner helpful to all, where the Bible is not a forgotten book, where liquor is not allowed and where the Kingdom of Heaven is surely coming. %?• *3* v!* INTERNATIONAL BIBLE READING DEPARTMENT. As 1908 draws to a close, many a business man is forecasting to see where he can improve his business in the next year, and, again, he is taking stock to see what the profits have been in the past year. As Christian workers, it stands us individually and corporately in hand to profit by the man of affairs, for we too often are in a rut in our Christian experience, but if we will but stop and take stock and forecast the future, it will do much to extricate us from the rut which we may unconsciously have fallen into. One of the last departn>ents adopted, by the International Sunday School Association is that of the International Bible Reading Department, founded in '82 by Charles Waters, of London, England, with the one object of getting people to daily read a portion of the Word of God hearing upon the Sunday School lesson for the following- Sunday. In the short space of time since it was begun, schools that have adopted it have proven its practicability and helpfulness in that Bible study is stimulated, lesson preparation is secured, the Sunday School is strengthened, teaching is more satisfactory, family devotions encouraged, and new love and interest is supplied. In the International work there are about 25,000 members. We earnestly appeal to the readers of this paper who do not know of this �16 January, 1909. THE FRIEND. movement to write to your superintend- on our avenues and boulevards, and desk or writing table where you can this movement. This work aids greatly in the'visitation work of the Home Departments, for the workers, who thus visit in the interest of the school, have a definite end and spiritual results to be obtained through this work, and it gives them the opportunity for inquiry as to the progress of the individual's own spiritual life in their visits. One realizes that in these days of strenuous activities, other things are liable to take the place of the Word, and as some one has expressed the thought, "a living Church or School must, of necessity, be a growing one." If the test were applied to us as Christians and as Sunday Schools, might it not be that many of us would have to give expression to the lamentable fact that there is a lack of memorizing of the Word of God and systematic reading. The coojK'ration of all the readers of this paper in earnestly sought in trying to arouse in this movement of the I. B. R. D. interest in the systematic reading of God's own Word every day, bearing upon the Sunday School lesson. Will you not, as one, write, as above intimated, and see if you cannot start a branch in your own school ? Follow with this effort your prayers, that God may give us an enrollment of at least fifty thousand during the coming year. School. This we ought to have done without leaving the other undone. It is not necessary to neglect either for the other.

Extracts from General Secretary Lawrence's report to the Louisville Convention. There is nevertheless one feature that ought to fill this Convention with alarm; and it is this: During this entire triennium our Sunday School enrollment in North America has made a net gain of only about a million members. This means that it takes about fifty officers, teachers and scholars a whole year to add one new member to the Sunday School. Our statistics show that the average size of the SundaySchools of North America is ninety. Surely the average Sunday School ought to add more than two new members to its enrollment in twelve months. But this is the record that we must face. This is truly an occasion for alarm and ought to arouse us to action. I fear that in our efforts to make our Sunday Schools better by grading, classification, teacher training, etc., etc., we have forgotten to go into the highways and hedges, and indeed up- It ought to be the normal condition in every Church that the Sunday School enrollment far outnumbers the Church membership. But this condition is not very common in most localities. May there not be the determination in this Convention to enter upon a vigorous campaign throughout our entire field to increase our membership at least ten per cent, a year during the next trienmutn, and this would be threefold better than we have done during the last three years. Why not? Conversions. But the matter to which I wish to call your attention most earnestly, and the one which weighs heaviest upon my heart, is the comparatively small number of conversions we are reporting as a result of our great Association and its work. These figures are better than those reported at Toronto, and yet they arc far from what they ought to be. Forty-six of our Associations report 903,-028 conversions and additions to the Churches during the triennium. But have these forty-six Associations 1,223,796 officers and teachers. From these figures it is seen that it takes five officers and teachers a whole year to lead one soul to Christ and into the Church. Does it appear to you that this is an adequate harvest for all our plowing and seed sowing? Manytimes have I seen my father at corn planting time soak the seed over night before planting it. This he did to make it spring into life the quicker. We are told in the i2f.th Psalm that, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Perhaps we have been faithful in our sowing and in our cultivating, but have failed in watering the seed with our tears ,and anxiously praying for results as we have labored. Every delegate here has received a card bearing the words, "The General Secretary's heart is in this personal message to you." Will you not take the card home and plafc it upon your This, dear friends, is the burden of my heart. More and more do I long to see adequate results in the conversions of our scholars, and, to my mind, this is the weakest point in all our work. We ought not to be discouraged. We have much to be grateful for. God has wonderfully blessed us; 903,028 precious souls won for him in three years, aid yet it is not enough. For one, I feel like confessing the sinfulness of my neglect along this very line, but craving the Father's help that I may do better. At the same time, clear friends, may I not lay it Upon your hearts, as I know it is already upon tbe hearts of many, that these next three years of our history as an Association should be marked by a mighty revival in our Sunday Schools. A Campaign of Soul Winning, seeking in a systematic, definite, earnest, prayerful way to win every scholar to the Lord Jesus Christ. Shall we not give much Mne, thought and prayer to this in every one of the 50.000 Sunday School Conventions that will be held before we meet again? Shall we not preach about it in our pulpits, and talk about it in our teachers' meetings, and before the schools, and use every opportunity to make the harvest greater? We know it is not the will of our Heavenly Father that one of these scholars should perish. It is a great responsibility, dear friends, and I feel it as I have never felt it in my life, and for no one thing have I prayed so much in connection with this Convention as that we might be sent to our knees before God asking for guidance and help and then sent away to our Churches, schools and homes to do more faithful work than we have ever done before. Let us not get tangled up in the machinery of our organization and forget that immortal souls are perishing every day all about us. Thousands and thousands of Sunday Schools run a whole year without a conversion. Over 2,000 Sunday Schools in .one denomination had this record not long ago. NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (IN JAPANESE).

THE WORLD'S WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION. Katharine Lent Stevenson. Of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union of the United States there is no need that I should write to The Friend. Thirty-four years of continuous existence have made for the organization a large place in the reform and philanthropic history of the age. The child of that mighty religious awakening which swept over our nation in the winter of 1873-1874, it has kept until the present day an enthusiasm and a consecration worthy of its origin. The work has changed in its outer manifestation, but not in its inner spirit. Its forty or more departments are all grouped about the central thought of the establishment of righteousness upon earth. In the words of our official definition, "The Woman's Christian's Temperance Union is an organization of Christian women, bounded together for the protection of the home, for the abolition of the liquor traffic and for the triumph of Christ's Golden Rule in custom and in law." I am but just come from the 35th annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which met in Denver, Colorado, Oct. 23-28. It was prophetic motto: "The Nation's Going Day." We of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union believe that that prophecy is speedily to be realized. But the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the United States, the mother society, is only one corps of our mighty, world-wide army. In fiftyone countries of the world we have an organized life. In many of these lands the work is still small, almost embryonic, but in them all there are at least a few women who are wearing the white ribbon as the badge of a common purpose and who are standing for the redemption from the curse of strong drink, not of one nation alone, but of the world. Seven World's Conventions have thus far been held, two, the first and the last, in Boston, one in Chicago, one in Toronto, one in London, one in Edinburgh and one in Geneva. The next will be held, either in London or Glasgow, in the Spring of 1910. I know nothing which has served as so mighty a factor in bringing together the womanhood of the world as has this most cosmopolitan society. It knows no distinction of race or creed. It recognizes intemperance and the liquor traffic, with their kindred evils, as the common foes of all lands. It recognizes also the vital inter-relation of all nations; that the prosperity of all is essential to the real prosperity of each 17 and that no nation anywhere can come to its highest development while any, anywhere, is kept at its lowest. The statement that God made of one flesh all nations that dwell upon the earth is more than a glittering generality to the leaders and members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. We have looked into each others faces, we have clasped hands and joined hearts. We know the mighty urge of a common purpose, "For God, and Home and every land." Because of hat we have done and the greater things we are yet to do in the unifying of the nations the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ought to appeal especially to the Christian men and women of Hawaii. You have here the great experiment station of the nation in the making of American citizens. You have more than that, viz.: an experiment station in the development of tbe world-spirit and world-unity. I have been more and more forcibly impressed with this fact during every day I have spent in your enchanted land. I rejoice in the object lesson you are giving to the nation and I believe it is one by which the entire world will yet profit. I like the motto given in the < Ictober issue of THK FRIEND: "Hawaii for the world." I would like to enlarge its scope to "America for the World and then to "The World for the World." The World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union stands for nothing less than the bringing in of that great day when "the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall sec it together." Standing for such high ideals it merit.-. the sympathy, the prayers, cooperation and the support of all those in cverv land, whose hearts God has touched with a desire to hasten the coming of His Kingdom, when His will shall be done in earth as it is in Heaven. AYear's Decrease. A preliminary report for the United States fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, has the following interesting items: The consumption of whiskies of various kinds decreased $16,178,094. Tobacco had a fall of $1,948,315. There were small decreases in other lines. The government took in from beer as against tax, however, $58,546,110 one year ago, an increase of $201,570. The tax on beer is $1 per barrel, holding gallons. In the past year, therefore, American people, although cutting down their whisky suoply and their cigars, drank 201,570 barrels more of beer �January, 1909. THE FRIEND. 18 than they did in the year before, which was supposed to be one of great prosperity. The heaviest decrease in the consumption of cigars was in those weighing more than three pounds per thousand. The total receipts from this source were $20,714,270, as compared with $22,470,434 in the previous year, showing a decrease of $1,756,158. Chewing tobacco also showed a decrease, but cigarettes held their own, showing a small increase. Report for Hawaii The total receipts for the entire Territory for liquor licenses under the new liquor license law, for the year ending June 30. H)o8, was $90,367.72. The receipts so far for the first half of the current year arc $44,620. Restaurants and Liquors. The Board of License Commissioners have sent the following notice to all restaurants taking out a restaurant liquor license: "Dear Sir: 1 am directed by the Board of License Commissioners to notify you that, in the opinion of the Board, the second-class retail restaurant license held by yon only authorizes yon to sell intoxicating liquors with meals for consumption in the place." Since the receipt of this letter, these licensees have refused to sell drinks except with meals, or in bottles to be taken away from the place. Haswell said she "never saw such lots of grand folks before." We have had a very dry summer and fall. The dust is something dreadful and the air is thick with smoke from the forest tires. Today we had a northeast wind, bringing the smoke from the upper peninsula of Michigan and we can not see a half mile away. The destruction of forests has been terrible this rear. THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL. We are in receipt of a copy of The Hawaiian Annual, a valuable compendium of information about Hawaii, which no one who is desirous of knowing the main facts of interest about these islands can afford to be without. The question so frequently asked bynew comers and tourists, "Where can I obtain, in the smallest compass, a book which will give me U intelligent idea of Hawaii, past and present, and its outlook for the future?" finds its answer in this Annual, for which the community is indebted to Mr. Thomas ( ',.

There were present visitors from Wailuku, Kahului, Sprecklesville, Paia and 1 lamakuapoko. Distances forbade the presence of the Lahaina and Xahiku Visitors.

That the Mid-Pacific Institute is looming larger and larger on the horizon of Island life was made evident to a wide circle of friends on New Year's Day. Principal liosher of Kawaiahao had planned an international species of New Year's festivity, which in its reception features suggested the Chinese Konohi (pardon the monstrosity of this pidginCelestial), in its gift-bearing guests recalled to New Knglandcrs the donation party and to Hawaiians the Hookupit and in its general interchange of friendly greetings preserved the essential spirit of the year's opening in Dutch New Amsterdam and < lid Japan. The beauty, massive simplicity, noble location and resourcefulness of Atherton Hall, the large student hody and efficient enthusiastic faculty impressed everybody. There can he no question that Kawaiahao has gotten a new grip on life and that a splendid history is fronting it in the new home. JS JS JS JS k** J* Mid-Pacific Resources—First.

This missionary animating principle is bound to be the in hoc simio I'inces of this large horizoned institution. Second. Next to this spirit which forms its inexhaustible source of weaith comes its endowment of real properly, its forty acres of land already far advanced in value above its cost and worth well on to $100,000. .Add to this its two buildings, one completed, the other last rising, totaling more than $150,000 and its invested funds of over $37,500, and it becomes apparent that the spirit of the MidPacific Institute is rapidly clothing itself in attractive garments. The task is now upon its friends of raising $350,000 cash endowment. That ought to be done during 1009 if advantage is to be taken >f the tide which will soon set towards the school from Asia. The directors have authorized the engagement of a capable Japanese lady to bead the Japanese department of Kawaiahao. When she reaches Honolulu a large increase of Japanese girls may be looked for. In a year the new hoys' building will be completed and will soon be overflowing with students. The practical character of the courses of study, which, besides fitting those who expect to pursue higher education elsewhere, plan to equip graduate with power to be industrially independent, will compel the support of the hardest headed business men and still more popularize the school. To meet all this, the sooner the needed endowment is in hand the better, llecause in the very nature of things such an institution is a sine qua iwn here, the money will come. The environment, having necessitated the establishment of the school, must also stimulate the financial support. Courage then. Let the Mid-Pacific tell out its story of God, who inspired its organization, will move the hearts of His children to develop it into power. ****** The Campaign For Men. At the very outset of the present administration in Central Union Church the slogan "Men to the front" was sounded. It accorded with the prevailing spirit of Christ's kingdom on earth which is nothing today if not �February, 1909 THE FRIEND 4 virile. Whenever a great advance has been sounded by the Great Captain, men have sprung forward with a vigor and enthusiasm irresistible. We are in the midst of such a rallying today throughout the entire Christian world. It matters not where one's eyes rest, in Turkey, India, China, Europe, the Americas, Japan, men are awake for Jesus Christ, and are 'leading mighty movements for ideal humanity. Hawaii is feeling this world pulsation and is responding as last year's story in Central Union Church clearly indicates. Of the yz admitted last year to membership 44 per cent, were males, the masculine percentage of those received on confession of faith being 48 per cent. But the organization of the Men's League, which was the outgrowth of several months of good work by the Young Men's Cabinet and whose membership is rapidly nearing the 200 mark, indicated the trend of things even more surely. The Cabinet was organized distinctly to help the Church realize the possibilities of its influence in the community. Hence the League was planned to facilitate this purpose. It meant business and the sections into which it at once divided itself are doing business. The test, of course, will come with lime. Progressive response to environment is the price of life and an organization of this kind in order to be vital must ever accord with the changing demands of the never resting human world. v* J* J* v* <** The Lenten Program. The executive committee of the League has requested the Minister of Central Union Church to devote the Sunday evenings during Lent to a series of addresses upon the Reality of the Spiritual Life. At its January meeting the League enthusiastically endorsed the committee's request and voted to put forth all the power of the League in making the series a success. The Musical Section is to have charge of that part of the program. The addresses, the nucleus for which was a course of Passion Week Talks given last year, have been in course of preparation for publication. An endeavor will be made to rally as large numbers of men to these services as possible. jl ji jl jl jl jt Coastwise Shipping Laws. The Civic Federation did one of its beat strokes of work, when stirred by the remarks of Governor Frear anent the cowardly local back down on the coastwise shipping question, it issued a call for a mass meeting to voice I!" nolulu's real sentiments. The gathering was an unusually large and representative one. the addresses by Governor Frear, Mr. Thurston, Prof. Babson and others were to the point and the vote, if>B to 2, was decisive. The meeting voted to cable resolutions (costing some $150 to send) to Washington requesting the exempting of Hawaii from the provisions of the Coastwise Shipping laws until an adequate number of American vessels are running between the Coast and the Islands. Inasmuch as the ship subsidy measure is popular here the resolutions expressly favored this policy. It is needless to add that there are some in Hawaii who do not favor subsidies or protective duties, believing then) to be forms of unjust taxation. Perhaps the Democrats and free trade Republicans may stave off the subsidy bill for another two years. Meantime it is to be rival of the Honolulu boat and compelling all passengers to put in a long tedious wait before the next train leaves. It has done little good for islanders to complain of this, but when two men of such commanding influence in the traveling world point out how certain such a policy is to discourage tourists, it will bear fruit. After all it pays to treat new comers as you would be treated if you were new. Make every provision for enabling travelers to see the best, to facilitate their every comfort and they will want to come again and tarry longer. They also will send scores of others. The phrases, "perfect accommodations," "every possible comfort," mean volumes to American travelers. We have found it hard to get visitors to go to the volcano simply because of the justice of the very criticisms passed Upon the Hilo trip by these visiting railroad men. Some day a railway will run from Kawaihae to Hilo connecting with a rapid steamer to and from Honolulu, and then the horrors of the sea trip a thing of the past, Hilo will come to its own as a tourist center. 1). S. CHRISTMAS IN WAILUKU. A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITS hoped that the Coastwise laws will directly be suspended for Hawaii. It is too good to believe that Congress will restore American shipping to the seas by allowing its citizens to buy ships built anywhere and fly the Stars ami Stripes over them and employ any seamen to man them whom they may choose. What Congress will do when it once begins to legislate for freer commerce no one can prophesy. We may yet see Hawaii a free port. J* v~ 0* %5* v* Our Tourist Boom. Among the many blessings, which the promotion of world wide travel to Hawaii is sure to bring, that of free criticism of ourselves and of our insular way of doing things will not be the least. Two railroad men of large prominence have just visited the volcano and have called attention in no unequivocal language to the inexcusably short-sighted and vexatious policy of the Hilo railroad in despatching a train to the volcano just before the ar- The Christmas season in the Churches uf W'ailuku was most delightful in weather and filled with much joy for all our workers. At the Union Church the Sunday evening service was made very attractive with excellent Christmas music by members of our Church and congregation. The decorations were decidedly in keeping with Christmas, being red geraniums and poinseltia. The collection for the Hawaiian Hoard was the largest in three years. ()n the Saturday lx-fore the little people of the Sunday School met for Santa Clans' presents, games and a tree. Tt will be interesting to the many Honolulu friends of Union Church to know that fully half of the little white people of Waliuku, other than of Catholic parents, have been enrolled for the last eight months in the Union Sunday School and that the school is increasing in numbers every few months. This fact with the well attended evening services, and cordial relations in town with all other Christian workers makes the Union Church more and more valuable each year to the community. At Waikaptt and Kaahumanu Churches the Christmas exercises were well attended and the little people greatly enjoyed their Santa and gifts. �5 THE FRIEND February, 1909. THE MAILED FIST.

MORE ITEMS FROM WAILUKU. Christmas exercises were observed in the Chinese Church, December 23rd. There was a gathering of 150 people. The children connected with the day and Sunday School entered into the spirit of the occasion by their songs, and recitations, which were given in a creditable manner in Chinese and English. The arrival of Santa Chios with his wheelbarrow load of gifts was the cause of great wonderment as to what the contents contained. All were delighted with Santa Claus's visit. On December 35th another evening of cheer was the Christmas celebration at the fapanese Church.

T. choicest resorts will be prejudicial to the homes and property there and it is more than likely that Iwfore the program is finished the iron hand will have us in its grip. The situation is well epitomized in the following excerpt from an editorial in the Advertiser of January 12. One can not read it without seeing that the advantage has a tail to it and that the tail has already begun to wag the dog: "Ten years ago Honolulu surrendered the site of its beautiful marine park to the Nayy—a place which still remains at l standstill—and did it cheerfully. It gave up a splendid tract on Punchbowl, for the same purpose, and has never seen anything done with it—but it still keeps cheerful. It smiled amiably when a tract of land which could be made to yield a million dollars a year in pineapples was preferred for cavalry horses to run on. over land that would not be good for much else.

Leaving a large pastorate in Indianapolis, the Rev. J. T. Jones has come (by the Manchuria, Jan. 29) to take up the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Honolulu. Mr. Jones is a graduate of Dc Pauw, the Methodist University of Indiana. In the several pastorates which he occupied in that State he has won an excellent reputation as pastor, speaker and worker.

And just here let me say that under the guidance of father and mother the little Gulick hoys were encouraged to raise silk worms, which were fed by them from mulberry trees planted by their father. We were very intimate with Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Peck, who were most estimable people. From the silk planters we learned how to reel the silk from the white and yellow cocoons. These silk-worms were fed on Sundays as regularly as the milk cows were sent the pasture on Sundays. And yet the stale yarn today finds credence, that the silk business was abandoned because the missionaries opposed the feeding of silk worms upon the Sabbath. Such sapient yarns have survived even to our day. As an Angel of Light. Missionary touring was one of the most arduous duties of the earlier missionaries. A service not devoid of satisfaction. The missionary was hailed by the people as an angel of light, and was treated as if belonging to a higher order of beings.

Tn such a house even floors or chairs were not found.

In those earliest days mosquitoes and mosquito nets were almost unknown. These insects arc said. by Prof. Alexander in his history, to have been brought to the islands by the ship Wellington, from San Plas. Mexico, in the year 1826. Bui their spread was very gradual. The joyous welcome that the people gave their teacher, and the hearty hospitality of the generous people. made the discomforts seem light, and the joy great. More willing listeners to the simplest of Gospel teaching, than were the early Hawaiians, chiefs and people are seldom found.

Did not the missionaries begin at once to gather in the children, and seek to raise up a more enlightened generation? No; such procedure is utterly impossible in an uncivilized land. Children cannot be held together or brought under the restraints or inconveniences of schooling or of any kind of instruction, until the parents are in some measure impressed with the value of instruction. In such a community men. young men. are the first who can be reached. The Hawaiian, like the most of the human family, was a hero worshipper, and one who held the chiefs, especially the higher chiefs, in the most profound respect. The first missionaries realized 7 THE FRIEND that the chiefs, if won, would surely lead their people. Those of the earlier missionaries who were located near the high chiefs spared no pains to obtain their respect, and to inspire them with a desire to receive what the messengers from the far land had to impart. The earliest attempts to lead the people in acts of worship, were fraught with great difficulties. When the missionary began in a proposed service to pray, the people said he is talking to his god, and when they heard in their own tongue the words of confession, they said he is telling his god that we are bad, and turned away in anger. "But wisdom is justified of her children." Some were attracted and came again and again to hear. Such received instruction joyfully and in time were sent out by the missionary to be teachers of others. Of course these earliest teachers were the But crudest instructors imaginable. MATAIO KEKUANAOA. though so poor they were the pioneer school teachers of the land, and in time were succeeeded by men of greater attainments and of comparative efficiency. The Magic Paper. be It is to remembered that the people had no idea whatever of reading or writing, or that a piece of paper might be made to speak to one miles away who should scan it. This was as great a mystery as the n>agic of wireless telegraphy. The story is told of the sending by a missionary of a number—we will say seven—melons to a distant friend. When the messenger delivered six melons with an accompanying note, the receiver asked after the remaining seventh melon. The bearer replied that the letter was not in sight when he ate that melon, and he could not understand how the letter could have told of his eating that seventh melon for he was himself out of sight of the letter when he ate the fruit. The basis of all western book learning is the alphabet. The early missionaries ere long discovered that all genuine Hawaiian words could be written with twelve letters—five vowels and seven consonants. The first primer was styled the Pi-a-pa, this being the first bookteaching the construction of syllables by the combination of letters. The five vowels are given the Italian or Continental sounds. With a full understanding of these vowel sounds the reading of the Hawaiian language Incomes exceedingly simple. All words being written phonetically no time whatever is wasted in teaching spelling. No child with a 1 lawaiian ear, will ever misspell a native word. When it dawned upon the people how easy and how practicable it was to learn to read, there swept over the land a wave of desire to learn this wonderful art. Chiefs and people alike flocked to the missionaries to learn, and many on. teachers of reading led the Why Not Teach English? Xow, why did not the missionaries teach the people English, and give them something worth knowing, give to them the key that would open to them the literature and the wisdom of the ages?

The thousand teachers who. after a few weeks or months with the missionary, acquired the power to put the twelve letters' into syllables and then by these syllables producing the words whose sounds were familiar to their ears, words conveying meaning to their minds: these, knew no English, and were as incapable as babes to acquire or to impart instruction in a foreign language. No, the missionaries did the only possible or practicable thing, namely to teach the people in their native language. (To be Continued).

We quote: "Some of our good Christian friends, not of the way in which we walk, felt aggrieved at the article on Hilo in the December issue. A sentence appeared; 'The Bishop almost despaired of planting the Church there permanently.' "The supposed grievance arises from the use of the word Church. The writer of the article certainly did not mean that Christianity had not been planted at Hilo and perhaps he would better have conveyed what he had in mind if he had written, 'despaired of planting this Church there,' etc. "It must I>c remembered that the HaeWMOfl Church Chronicle is intended for Churchmen and therefore its articles are in words which they will understand.

Now that our contemporary has called special attention to the usage of the word Church, it is fitting that we should add that in no instance does the Century Dictionary, or Christian usage the world over, warrant the monopolizing of the word Church by any organization of Christians, whether the word be spelled with a capital or otherwise. Thus the Century Dictionary in its definition of the word Church sanctions the use of the capital in the descriptive titles of all organized bodies of Christians, as follows: "The Roman Church; the Presbyterian Church: the Church of the Disciples; the Church of the New Jeru- Xtniitm Church Chronicle, njoo salem; the Independent Evangelical accession, twelve, being received at the Portuguese Church.

Central Union News A. A. EBERSOLE The Week of Prayer Central Union Church began the New Year with a week of prayer. Both in attendance and in the deep spiritual interest manifested the meetings were a pronounced success. The Methodist. Christian and Bishop Memorial Churches united with Central Union in these services and the Spirit of good fellowship which prevai'cd was most delightful. The topics for the week were selected from Stalker's "Imago Christi," the pastors of the different Churches rep resented each leading one of the meetings : THE FRIEND built up in that section of the city. Largely through his efforts also the money was raised for the erection of the commodious Chapel, which was dedicated on the evening of January 3. Already a nucleus has been gathered for the organization of a Church. Some thirty individuals, most of them adults, have signified their intention of joining, and on Sunday evening, Feb. 7. will be received Lolo the fellowship of the Church at Kalihi Chapel by the Minister and Board of Deacons of Central Union. No section of the city offers a larger opportunity than Kalihi for just such a work as this new organization is now equipped to do. With such assistance as Central Union can give Mr. Chamberlain the enterprise should soon grow into a strong Church, ministering to the varied needs of the people of that growing community. The Annual Meeting. The annual Church supper and meeting for hearing reports of the various organizations of the Church was held in the New Parish House on Wednesday evening, January 13. Tables were set for 27s and only a few chairs were vacant. From beginning to end it was a most enjoyable occasion. The Men's League with its two committees — Friendship and Welcome—attended most acceptably to the sociability and the seating of the feasters. The Ladies' Society furnished the chowder—genuine Bay State Chowder, such as the ladies of Central Union can make. It truly was a feast. The reports were unusually interesting. Although the three-minute limit was not absolutely observed they were all short and to the point.

The Minister's Class. Chtistmas Sunday Dr. Scudder announced in his morning sermon that he would be pleased to begin a class of instruction for the boys and girls of the Church who were thirteen years of age. The purpose of the class he stated was not primarily to prepare the children to join the Church or to bring undue pressure to bear upon them to take such a step, but rather to lead them naturally and along proper pedagogical lines into an understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith so that as they come to that age in life when they would most naturally decide to be followers of Christ they would be able to do it intelligently. In response to this invitation a •rood sized class has been meeting Dr. Scudder Friday afternoon at 2:30 in the parlor of the Church and have taken up in earnest this important work —a course of study which cannot fail to be of inestimable value to the boys and girls throueh all their lives. The Men's League. Our Men's League is certainly making itself felt along both religious and civic lines. It is putting new life into every department of the Church's work. The Friendship and Welcoming Sections are doing a most important service in keeping ever on the lookout for new comers to the city, of which there are a constantly increasing number, systematically inviting them to the Various Church and League meetings, and seeing to it that they arc made to feel at home and get acquainted when them come. The Sunday School Section is rallying to the support of the Wednesday Night Normal Class in fine shape. The attendance and interest has been steadily increasing. The Sunday Morning Men's Bible Class continues to be one of the strong features of the Sunday's program. The attendance has kept close to thirty even through the busy holiday season. One of the most inspiring Mul-ifcek services, so a number of those who attended volunteered to say, was the meeting January 20, on the "Brotherhood Movement," led and conducted throughout by members of the Men's League. At the last meeting of the League it was voted to support both by attendance and by personal work among the men of the city a series of Sunday Evening Lenten Addresses, which Dr. Scudder has announced on "The Realities of the Christian Life."

KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY "AT HOME" —SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION AT ATHERTON'S HALL. In May, 1907, many friends of this institution gathered in Manoa Valley, on the campus of' the Mid-Pacific Institute, to witness the "Turning of the first sod" on the site of the then anticipated building for Kawaiahao Seminary. Those of this same number, who were privileged to share in the festivities of January Ist, 1909, in the completed edifice could abundantly realize that the intervening months had been busily occupied. On the magnificent height, with its inspiring views of ocean and mountain, had arisen a massive and picturesque building, constructed of the rocks of the valley, over which nature had dawn a delicate lichened tracery of her own. Where the different schools had sung their songs, in the Open, with the algarohas encirling them and the blue above them, was now the commodious home of one section of the institute, with work well under way, in its new and beautiful environment. Month after month busy workmen of many different nationalities had been engaged in accomplishing this transformation. The noble building, which is now one of the most prominent features in the landscape of Manoa Valley, is most conveniently located, within easy access to the cars of the Rapid Transit Company. By a stimulating and pleasant coincidence the visitor reaches it most readily on Armstron street, a name which recalls two men, father and son, who have been inspiring forces in the cause of education, both in Hawaii and on the mainland of the L'nited States. "Athcrton Hall" presents a noble frontage to Diamond Head, extending along its main terrace, which rises picturesquely from the valley below, for nearly two hundred feet. Three wine's inclose two inner courts in the rear. The welllijrhted and convenient basement affords spacious auarters for the laundry, storerooms and needed work-rooms of the institution. Above this on the first floor are the reception rooms, offices, class and music rooms and sewing department and rreat dining hall, with its noble stone fire-place. At the further extremity of one of the wings is the infirmary, arranged with all necessary conveniences, presided over by a trained nurse who is a graduate of the Seminary. Ascending THE FRIEND the main stair-way in the center of the building, from the broad and airy cloister with its massive stone arches, which runs along the front of the building, the visitor comes first to the spacious assembly hall, which occupies nearly the full length of the middle wing. This is one of the most beautiful halls in the Territory and reflects much credit tt|x>n the architect, Mr. H. L. Kerr, as indeed does the whole building, which has been greatly admired by all who have visited it. On this same floor are to be found the apartments of the faculty and in two of the wings separate rooms for the pupils of the senior and intermediate grades. These are well-lighted and airy and in every way adapted for the comfort and convenience of their occupants. On the floor above are the dormitories, which are most commodious and attractive. It is a cause for much gratitude that the penerous donors of this beautiful memorial building have here erected so well constructed and attractive an edifice, and one so fitted in practical details for the varied needs of the institution which here finds its home. Truly no more fitting monument could have been reared to the memory of one who so earnestly tailored in the cause of all forms of philanthropic work and especially of Christian education than this. Busy workmen so long occupied the building that it was difficult to think of any thing but "finishing" work ever going on then, hut at last a time came when it seemed possible to throw open the new school home to all friends who cared to inspect it. January ist was chosen for this opening day and with this was connected the old Hawaiian custom of the Hookuptt, so that this became a "giftday" as well. Early in the afternoon friends of all nationalities began to arrive and for several hours a steady stream of visitors passed through the building, which was indeed open to them in kindly welcome from basement to attic. In the faculty parlor and the adjoining library, the principal, Miss Ilosher, assisted by the lady members of the Board of Trustees and the wives of other members, received in a most hospitable manner the large throng of guests. Different members of the faculty lent their aid at many points in making the afternoon one most pleasantly to be remembered by all who came. Dainty refreshments were served in the large, cool dining hall and in the front corridor the strains of Hawaiian music added to the festive character of the gathering. Prominent among the visitors and most gladly welcomed were a number of former pupils of Kawaiahao Seminary, now busy with the active duties of life in the iarger world outside. 11 but drawn by their aloha for the dear old school which in spirit still lives here, amid new surroundings it is true, but always ready to welcome with hearty aloha those wdio have ever been in any way connected with it. It was pleasant also to notice among the hundreds of visitors many representatives of the ()riental races which have come to Hawaii. Their ever increasing interest in the cause of education is most noteworthy. Those present on this occasion seemed much imoressed by the splendid opportunities offered in Kawaiahao Seminary for practical and thorough training, amid such stimulating surroundings, for young women. China, Japan and Korea are already well rq>resented in the institution and some of the most promising pupils are from these races. Most generously did its friends remember the Seminary on this Xew Year's Day and left behind them abundant evidence of their kind wishes for the continued success of the school in a material way. Many of the gifts were placed in the Seminary Hall and presented a beautiful and varied appearance, watched over and guarded by the l>cautiful American flags which were suspended above them.

The evidences of sympathetic appreciation of the work, here being carried forward, will serve as a helpful stimulus to those who are bearing its responsibility—to press forward to larger undertakings. *_W _$• Jm *™ t,w INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION IN EDUCATION. ()ne of the most encouraging features in the larger altruistic life of the present time is the desire on the part of many in England and America to share with peoples of other and less favored lands the results of the educational systems which have been beneficial to themselves. An especially striking example of this is to be found in the increasing interest manifested by certain of our leading American universities in educationai work in China.

Notes From The Field taken place there in the last few months. Not only has the macadamizing of the road added greatly to the pleasure of taking a trip through this section of country, but there have suddenly sprung up, as if born of the soil, such a number of cottages and such signs of development that one is reminded of the boom of a western town. Passing over this road a few months ago we were impressed with the vast area of fertile land which was lying practically idle. It is at too great an elevation to be suitable for cane production, but there is a fair rainfall, the soil is niellow and rich—even the fence posts have sprouted and grown up into trees that form a striking boundary line between the fields,—and the ground is already cleared, the forests having receded far up the mountain sides. One could not help wondering why no one was making use of the opportunities which lie on the very surface there. Another thing was equally surprising, for in the midst of this uninhabited country there was a new pineapple canning factory, apparently unrelated to anything except a few small patches of pines on the hillside. The Transformation. But now the whole aspect of the country is changed. Scattered alont? the road for a distance of two miles or more there are about ninety thrifty cottages, each located in the midst of a tract of fenced-in land several acres in extent, with a supply of pure water carried by pipes to each house: pineapple fields too, and gardens have bloomed into existence in a manner suggestive of dreamland. A Japanese temple is perched high on the hill, and a Portuguese Church is under contemplation. In the valley is a neat school house—we were passing just at recess time, and the children were evidently patriotic, for the prevailing colors in shirtwaists were red, white and blue.

These lots are made available to "Homesteaders" on condition of certain improvements being made, after which the occupant may hold the title to the land in fee simple. The promoters of this Homestead Camp scheme offer to any one taking up one of these holdings, a loan of $325 for building a house, also furnishing lumljer and labor for the same at cost. If a man wishes to add to this out of his own means, he may build a house to suit his own taste and he has 18 years in which to clear off his indebtedness. To make the investment still more inviting to the laborers, the promoters have located a pineapple factory in the very heart of the district, purchasing pineapples at market prices. A railroad has been put through to the Homestead Camp, so that the Homesteaders are absolutely independent to come or to go, to work on plantations or to work on their own homesteads. Purely Business. This is said to be, not philanthropy, but business, purely business. It is believed to be good business policy to have a labor supply of people owning their own homes in the vicinity of a plantation, and free as men can be, to work when and where they please. It is Ixdieved that self-respect and love of home on the part of a laborer is an advantage not to the laborer and his family alone, hut to the plantation that may he able to call upon such people to supply its demand for labor.

The Wailuku Japanese Church (Rev. G. Tanaka. pastor,) celebrated the closing of the Old Year with a joyful service in which six young men were baptized and received into the Church. Mr. Dodge speaks of it as a very good service because of the large number out, and the earnestness of those who came out to serve Christ openly. f^n First fruits among the Japanese in Kona were gathered into Central Kona Church the first Sunday of the New Year by the baptism of six young men, one of whom was received into the Church. Mr. Okamura speaks of fifteen more who, after further instruction, give promise of becoming established in faith. *?• t9* The Makiki Giurch, having received during 1908, 121 members, 116 of whom were admitted on confession of faith, held a meeting to which the members were invited to come, each bringing in writing a statement of his or her purpose in the Christian life for the coming year.

Tour of Oahu. The day after Christmas I journeyed across the Nuuanu Pali and through the beautiful district of Koolaupoko to HakiDUU, where I spent the night. Sunday, December 27th, was the day for Hoike services in practically all of our Church Sunday Schools. Having received a cordial invitation to attend the Hoike at Kam-ohc I did so and was pleased to find a good-sized congregation in the old Church makai of the court house. Under the leadership of Mr. Frank Pahia the children and the adults went through their various parts with credit. Then several addresses were made, the first being by Mr. Joseph Roberts, formcrlv a cowboy and manager of the Kualoa ranch, on Oahu, but now an itinerant preacher. Mr. Roberts told of his tour of Maui on foot and how he had been preaching the Gospel everywhere. He was now to make the circuit of Oahu without the use of horse or carriage. The Rev. J. K. Paele of Waikane, recently ordained a minister of the Gospel by vote of the Oahu Association, made a few remarks and then I spoke of recent visits among the other Sunday Schools of Oahu and on other islands. Then Mrs. Rol>crts and others concluded the program with appropriate remarks. After an intermission, the Christian Endeavor Society held its usual meeting, the topic being "The New Era in China." A most interesting speaker was Mr. Ah Mcc, a Christian Chinese who came to these islands many years ago and was converted to Christianity through the influence of Mr. Frank W. Damon. He spoke of the great good being done in China by the missionaries. His speech in Hawaiian held the close attention of the Hawaiians. went to Jm Jm £+ PR'MARY-Mrj.

The usual social conversations took place in the Church yard after the service and it was good to greet so many friends. Kaneohe is fairly well populated and prosperous and the Church really needs a regular pastor to minister to the community. Meanwhile Mr. Pabia, Mr. Kellett and others are loyally supporting the Church work. Tuesday. December 2Q, in company with friends, I l>egan a tour of the remaining portion of Oahu, visiting that day the lovely valley of Punaluu and making the ascent of "the James P.. Castle trail" to the camp on the Kalitiwaa stream, far above the famous waterfall. It is well worth while for anyone to take this comparatively easy trip and see a remarkably beautiful part of Oahu. both grand in its far-distant glimpses of Waimanalo and Makapuu as well as the waters of Kaneohe bay, and picturesque in its near-by views of moss-covered lehua trees, banana trees, wauke. olona, loulu or native palms and other luxuriant vegetation. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Hay at the Hauula railroad station gave us shelter for the night. That part of this island is being more and more visited, now that there is a railroad from Kahttku to Kahana and a stage-line from Hauula to Honolulu. We found tourists from California and from our own metropolis who were enjoying the Kaliuwaa valley, renowned in Hawaiian legends, the sunrise at the sea-shore and the many charming features of country-life in Koolauloa. When T rode over to the Hauula parsonage the next mornintr T was fortunate in finding the Rev. Mr. Nuubiwa at home. Tt was with much recrret that T learned of the weakness of the Church and Sunday School there. It is to be hoped that the Church at Hauula may vet become a power in the community. Our next resting place was Waialee, where we were entertained most cordially over niMit by Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Gibson. The Boys' Industrial School under their supervision is in excellent condition. Great improvements have V been made there in the past five years and the farm is very productive of vegetables, taro, sugar cane, bananas, etc. Resides farming in its various branches such as dairying, pig and poultry raising, fruit and vegetable culture, the boys are taught useful trades in the carpenter and blacksmith shops, are instructed in "the three rs" in the class-room, are initiated into the mysteries of the drill and some of them play in the school band. Baseball and other games give healthy recrea» tion. Waialee is an ideal location for such an institution and it is gratifying to knowthat the boys are being trained to become useful citizens. The ride from Waialee to Waimea next morning was most interesting, hecause so many "small farmers" are developing the land that, less than five \ears ago, was devoted to the cattle industry. Many people on Oahu seem to have become "pineapple crazy," for at Paumalu, Pupukea, Waimea and the vast Wahiawa and 1 lalemano section acres and acres of land are being put into pineapples. Let us hope that a welcome market may be found for all the pines produced by these progressive "small farmers." Passing through the village of Waialua and by the huge sugar mill and through the cane fields, we came to the home of Rev. and Mrs. John P. Erdman, where we were entertained at lunch. It gives one a gladsome feeling to thinkthat the country districts of the island are being cared for by such an able leader as Mr. Erdman and to know what a splendid influence he is exerting among the Hawaiians and Japanese as well as other races. The First Church of Waialua, Rev. L. D. Keliipio pastor, held a special service that evening, it being New Year's Eve. At this "Watch Night Meeting" a good audience was present. There were songs and addresses by the pastor, the president of the Christian Endeavor, the superintendent of the Sunday School, Supervisor Cox and other Church members. I was asked to say a few words about the new year. In the audience �THE FRIEND February, 1909. or have ever asked if they could be of any help to the little school?

The first Sunday of the new year was a time for hopeful outlook and the beginning of the Church year with enthusiasm and renewed determination. A visit to the Palatini Settlement Sunday School revealed the interesting fact that a new course of study has been introduced there this quarter by Mr. Rath anil his assistants. It is the note-book and picture system, adopted last fall at Kawaiahao and used so successfully by them, Where the number of competent teachers is sufficient it may be well for any Sunday School to take up this new method of study. It costs more effort and time from the teacher, but it arouses greater interest from the young people and moreover gives them in concrete form the results of their teachers' instruction. The note-book system, \ hope, will spread among our schools. At Palama the boys and girls seemed to take to the new idea readily. At the Kawaiahao Church that morning the Communion of the Lord's Supper was observed, previous to which seventeen new members were received into the Church and twenty-seven adults and children received the Sacrament of Baptism. It was a most impressive service to sec so many Christians confess Christ openly and to see so many infants dedicated to the Lord and to His service. Among the "apana" chapels of the Kaumakapili Church is the Waikahalulu Chapel, that is mauka of School street and near the Waikahalulu falls of the Nuuanu stream. The bell of the little chapel calls people to the Sunday School service every Sunday afternoon. How many of those who ever hear the ringing of the bell know whence it cometh 15 religious privileges. There are usually at least four services every Sunday and once a month—the second Sunday— when Mr. Erdman conies, five services. The attendance of about seventy in spite of the bad weather was unusually large. A Sunday Among the Young People. The third Sunday of January I attended the morning service of the Memorial Chapel at Kamehameha School and gave an address on"The Hawaiian Sunday School Association." It was my purpose to show the work of the Association in its various features and to present some of the problems we are trying to solve, the teacher-training problem, the problem of arousing interest in Bible study at home daily, the problem of how to gather in and hold the boys and girls not in any school. In closing I urged all the Kamehameha girls and boys to become identified with Sunday School work and to support heartily the local Sunday Schools of the communities from which they come. It's a far cry from Dan to Beersheba, and so it is from Kamehameha to that other splendid institution, in the beautiful valley of Manoa—the Mid-Pacific Institute, popularly called "Kawaiahao." Placed almost at the extreme limits of our growing city these two institutions of learning are doing splendidly in the great work of character building. The vesper service at Atherton Hall was amid picturesque surroundings. A preacher does not often have to look up at his audience seated row upon row on the broad stone steps leading up to the front entrance of a school building, but such was the setting of the scene that evening. Previous to my introduction to the students they sang very sweetly several beautiful hymns and also, by request, the old Kawaiahao song. It was an inspiring sight to see girls of Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Porto Rican and other nationalities all uniting in singing songs about the Father of us all. Such a gathering as meets every Sunday evening at the Mid-Pacific helps us to realize that Jesus Christ came for all races and teaches us the brotherhood of man. It was a pleasure to talk to the interesting girls and tell them of the Sunday Schools on Maui and other islands. The girls of the Mid-Pacific are to be congratulated on having such an able leader in Miss Bosher and such a splendid faculty as the new institution pos- Rev. Horace W.

The latter part of the week the Koolaupoko district was again visited for the purpose of beimr present at the Waikane Church at its quarterly Communion service. The day, January 10th, was marked by the beginning of .a kona storm that raged three days with more or less severity along the coast of Oahu. In spite of great wind and some rain the people of Waikane, Waiahole and Hakipuu came out to Church and Sunday School quite faithfully • that day. Besides the Rev. Moses Kuikahi and Rev. J. K. Paele, Rev. Mr. Erdman and I were in attendance. After the Sunday School meeting in "Lanakila Hall," the regular morning worship was held in the Church, at which time I preached. Then I baptized ten children and infants, after which Rev. Mr. Kuikahi, the pastor, and Rev. Mr. Erdman conducted the Communion service. Then, in the Lanakila Hall or Sunday School house Mr. Erdman held his Bibie class. It was an interesting hour to which almost all the congregation stayed. After lunch at the parsonage there were other meetings— sesses. the Christian Endeavor and the Hui Manawalea—but Mr. Erdman and I could not remain for them.

WILL BE REFITTED FOR DRUG, GROCERY OR GENERAL MERCHANDISE STORE.—American fs- suc. Hawaii Cousins COUSIN MARIA FORBES. 11l her tongue was the law of kindness. On the afternoon of January 22 a company of the good people of Honolulu assembled at the home on Punahou street, and later at the Kawaiahao Mission cemetery, to lay to rest the form of Mrs Maria Jane Chamberlain Forbes, who fell asleep the day before, at the age of seventy-seven years. In the passing of Mrs. Forbes this community loses from its midst one of the strongest characters of the first generation of the children of the American missionaries to Hawaii. Maria Chamberlain was one of five island girls who, after study at Punahou. pursued their education together at Mt. Hoiyoke Seminary in the years 1850--1853, and was one who returned to Hawaii in 1854. Three of the five are still living in Honolulu. She was married to Rev. Anderson O. Forbes in 1858. The earlier years <rf the married life of this young couple were spent at Kaluaaha, Molokai. Mr. Forbes for some years succeeding Rev. H. R. Hitchcock as missionary pastor, of what at that time constituted one of the most interesting portions of the Hawaiian field. Later, after other pastorates in Hilo and elsewhere in the islands, Mr. Forbes was called, in 1880, to the secretaryship of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and made his home in Honolulu. After years in this service, physicians prescribed travel for �18 February, 1909 THE FRIEND his health, and while on return from the Eastern States he died in Colorado Springs, in 1888. In all his work for Hawaiians, Mrs. Forbes was his devoted helper. rOC twelve succeeding years, Mrs. Forbes, in her own efficient and satisfactory manner, conducted the Lunalilo Home for aged and disabled Hawaiians, winning the love and esteem of the many needy ones who were recipients of her kindness. Sensible of the increasing infirmities of age in 1901, Mrs. Forbes resigned, and was succeeded by Mrs. Weaver in the care of this very interesting institution. Her later years have been spent in her own home on Punahou street, where surrounded by her children and grandchildren and other kindred she has l>een the valued friend of a wide circle of acquaintances. In every relation of life she was to be depended upon, to fulfil every trust. A genuine interest in others accompanied by evidences of sympathy, made her in every case the true friend. Brought up in a missionary family Maria Chamberlain became an earnest Christian and united with the Mission Church, and in all the experiences of life her faith in God was firm and unwavering and her example and influence was ever on the side of right. She opened "her mouth with wisdom: and in her tongue was the law of kindness." "Her children arise tqi and call her blessed." She leaves a son, two daughters and four grandchildren to bless her memory, besides brothers, a sister, nephews and nieces. "The memory of the just is blessed." (). v*» (,*"• (,*"*• Cr9 v™ 11.

After a month's study of the Tenement House Problem of Honolulu, including the personal visitation and investigation of every tenement in the city by members of the Social Section, it was decided that the first thing needed was to secure the passage, if possible, of a bill at the next Legislature, restricting the building of tenements and providing for their proper control when erected. The Civic Section devoted two meetings to the study of the new Municipal Act, with especial reference to the difficulty which has arisen as to the respective powers and jurisdiction of the Mayor and Hoard of Supervisors under the Act. Both meetings were largely attended and at the last a motion was passed urging the County Attorney to proceed at once to make a test case of one of the appointments of the Board of Supervisors before the proper court so that the affairs of the city may not be longer interfered with. REVIVAL IN JAPAN. Osaka, Japan, Dec. i(>, 1908. leaving this busy city for Kobe to take the steamer this evening for Manila. It was a privilege to be able to attend the Missionary Conference of Central Japan held here today at Rev. Mr. Murry's home. The burden of the meeting seemed to be a desire for a revival and an outpouring of God's power here in Central Japan as they have had in the north. Dr. J. D. Davis gave a paper on "Conditions <>fa Revival." The people are ready for it and all Christians in the home land should pray earnestly that it may soon come. Mrs. I. G. Pierson writes from Hokkaido, in October, of God's power following the Revival, which began in Tokachi* prison last year. In her letter mention was made of the wife of a prison official who lay (King. Two physicians had said she could not live through the night. She had been a particularly zealous Buddhist, but during her illness had listened with interest to Christian teaching, and now, in the hope of comforting her in her dying moments, the prison warder and several Christian friends came to read a few passages of scripture. To their surprise she answered with a loud "Amen," and from that hour she began to mend. A weeklater she said, "I have been raised from the dead by the Jesus religion, so please give me the Jesus baptism." One of her doctors, a non-Christian, said in his amazement, "the woman has been raised from the dead," and she now goes by the name of "the woman who was raised from the dead." Just revival in Tokaclii Prison wns the * The but only a single incident in the great first awakening in the Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four large islands of Japan. The prison is a little world by itself with a population of some 2000 people, including nearly iooo prisoners, the rest being the warders and officials and their families, who live in neat cottages in the great open court. The prisoners here were the most hardened convicts in Japan, haying heen sent here from other prisons in all parts of the Empire, so that they represent the most vicious elements among the Japanese, men who have heen guilty of the heaviest crimes and are committed for long terms or for life imprisonment. Within the year 1007 nearly all the prisoners were converted. Nearly all the officials and their wives also have heen converted and baptized, and the Tokaclii Prison with its 2000 souls is now practically a Christian community. For two years previous to the wonderful awakening, Rev. and Mrs. G. P. Pierson. Rev. C. Sakamoto and others had been in definite and continuous prayer, for a special manifestation of God's power in Japan, and it was in their own field and, humanly speaking, under their own leadership that the revival began. F. S. S. �19 THE FRIEND February, 1909.

He was remarkably versatile. When he came here as a young man to teach he led the boys and girls of Royal School and Punahou in their sports as well as in their tasks. A strict disciplinarian and a teacher by divine right he knew how to get work out of every youngster he tackled. The life of every social party, he could organize and conduct an ideal picnic and at the same time cook the most toothsome delicacies therefor. As a nurse he was thoughtfulness and tenderness itself. When he became a minister his people found him a rare pastor formed of God for the work. "Tell Dr. Beckwith when you see him that I heard him preach 40 years ago in San l'rancisco and I've never forgotten the sermon," was the message a visitor now in Honolulu was asked to bring by a gentleman in California not connected with Dr. Beckwith's former Church there. Before it could be delivered a higher summons came for the faithful servant. The incident illustrates his hold upon men by a preaching both helpful and illuminating. Waterbury folk still hold in gratitude and reverence this minister who came to them at a time when their Church was in great need of an inspired leader. Dt. Beckwith proved to be the right man there for a forward movement. Again in Honolulu when the union of Bethel and Fort Street Churches called for a pastor of rare tact and mediating spirit no more ideal unifier could have been found than this gracious unselfish servant of his King. Dr. Beckwith had the rare power of binding all kinds of people to him in the bonds of friendship. To know him was to love him because he was master of a kindly leve that he gave freely to all. It was a benediction to meet him. It was only in his old age that we were privileged to enjoy his friendship, but it was prized as one of God's blessings that "maketh every community which he served. $ 26.35 A. B. C. F. M 60.15 A. M.

One long self-forgetful ministry made his home as nearly a picture of the heavenly city as it is given this earth to know. His last days were devoted to his widowed daughter and her four children.

John G. Woolley is with us again. Every brave soul in Hawaii welcomes him. Here in these blessed islands this apostle of the ideal will find both congenial soil for combats not of the sword but of the mind and fellow-soldiers who love the same sort of fighting for things of eternal worth that woo and win his championing. It is good news that he is to be one of us hereafter, this his home and our comradeship his own. If in God's goodness the Nation shall intervene to end the saloon here forever, as now seems possible, the further battles of brotherhood will call out all his powers. For this seems to be the God predestined soil upon which the question of whether the East and West can live together as bona fide brothers is to be first tried to a finish. In this the crowning present problem of our time and nation it is good to welcome every tried and true soldier to these Islands to help on the right side, ji ji ji jt j* Reform Bureau's Bill. Jt The cable has brought the tidings that the International Reform Bureau has introduced into Congress a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the Territory of Hawaii and to establish government dispensaries wherein they may be sold on physicians' prescriptions alone, a record to be kept of each sale and the governor to determine where such dispensaries are to be located. This bill is drawn closely on the lines of the famous law for Indian Territory which leading legal authorities have pronounced the most effective liquor statute ever passed. That Hawaii ought to have been living under the beneficent �THE FRIEND 4 influence of such a law since the day of its annexation goes without saying. The United States Senate in I'd adopted the principle of cooperating with other civilized nations in prohibiting the sale of intoxicants to aboriginal races, yet while it was enunciating this principle to the world it was suffering the debauching to death of the Hawaiian people by the organized liquor interests of the country. It was certain that sooner or later the conscience of the Nation would be aroused over this lamentable inconsistency. Having annexed Hawaii without the consent of its native people, the Nation was bound to protect them from drink, especially in view of the fact that the Kamehameha sovereigns cotuUtently prohibited the sale of intoxicants to their people. When once Congress understands the question it will act resolutely. It behooves all public spirited citizens to inform Congress Other Considerations. The liquor men might have saved the situation if they had been willing to let public opinion here have a chance. They know that the present law is just to themselves, yet they have deliberately determined to emasculate it. It is not to he expected that the American people will endure the conditions pertaining here now wherein every bill must be scrutinized lest the liquor men smuggle in some amendment which shall nullify "the best license law ever passed." Furthermore the liquor men know that public opinion in this Territory demands the passage of the local option law. They know it would have passed two years ago but for the shady influence they brought to bear Upon men who had pledged themselves to vote for it. In this Territory where there is no middle class it is comparatively easy for the liquor interests with the enormous mainland corruption fund back of them to control the local Senate. If these interests had been honorable and fair to the people in allowing the local option bill to be enacted, Congress would in all probability never have been moved to face the question of a prohibitory law. But fair fighting has never characterized the liquor business anywhere and it is time for the Nation tr lend a hand in saving the Hawaiian* from extermination before the drink demon shall have completed its fell work. The Soldiers. Uncle Sam's large contingent of soldiers and marines who are to be stationed here also calls for national consideration. Drink in the tropics is far more pernicious than in temperate climes. Has bers of its young men to a climate like ours and then expose them to the tender mercies of an unscrupulous liquor combination like that which menaces the future of this Territory ? We believe the Xation will answer this question in no uncertain way. If the proposed bill be passed by Congress the families and friends of the thousands of soldiers soon to be stationed here will feel secure in the conviction that this cormorant trade will not be able to exert its tremendous power in the effort to debauch and destroy these men in the insidious way possible in such a far away post as Hawaii. In fact the more the question is studied the stronger the arguments are for the decisive interference of the Nation to rid this Territory forever of the evil of intoxicants. God give the cause His victory. The Rocklikc House. Once more the Hawaiians in the Legislature are earning the deep gratitude of the entire people of this Territory by standing true to public interests. The House, the popular branch, is proving the champion of education, honesty, temperance and the people's rights, and this House is controlled by Hawaiians. All honor to these faithful friends for their splendid defence of their race against the liquor evil. Their defeat of the "more-liquor bill" as Mr. Woollcy calls the measure introduced by Senator Moore was a notable achievement. Every patriot expects them to do the like by all future amendments presented by the liquor forces. The splendid stand of Representative Pong on behalf of the schools and teachers of the Territory is fast pushing him to the head as a favorite ol the people. No more insidious attack upon the welfare of Hawaii has ever been made than the proposition to turn all children between the ages of 6 and 8 md over 14 out of our public schools. Fortunately the House under Mr. Long's leadership treated this with the contempt it deserved after a public hearing more enthusiastic perhaps than any other ever held in the Territory. The good news tlso comes that the House will tolerate no reduction of teachers' salaries, but will add a 'large sum to the estimates sub■nitted by the Governor, which considerably cut those prepared by the Superintendent of Education. "More children in our schools and better teachers" should be Hawaii's motto. To vote an extra tax to get laborers and to cut education would have been a disgrace to this fair land. Thank God this anomaly seems to have been averted. The tax for more laborers has been decreed. Well and good. Let it be parallelled hy a splendid April, 1909. educational advance. More taxes for schools would not hurt us one whit here. Mainland figures. In this connection it is well to face concrete facts. The wealth of any nation in the last analysis is grounded upon its agricultural produce. In the year 1908 the total agricultural production of the American mainland amounted in value to seven billions seven hundred and seventyeight millions of dollars. The population as estimated by the governors of the several States on January 1, 1908, was 88.787.058. This makes the per capita production of agricultural wealth in the mainland $87.60. In the same year Governor Frear's estimate of population in Hawaii was 170,000 and Dr. Wilcox's figures for the value of agricultural production in Hawaii for 1908 is $46,088,-300 or $271.10 per capita. That is every person in Hawaii produced on the average more than 3 times as much agriculturally as every person in the mainland United States. But the wealth produced annually on the mainland should include not only agricultural output but also all mineral, manufacturing and marine products. Just what these were for 1908 it is not possible at this writing to say as statistics arc not at hand. For the year 1904 the per capita value of the total manufactures were $96.31. Bat in this total there appears a very large proportion of agricultural and mineral products that are estimated under these respective heads, so if we took this figure $96.31 we should be counting certainly one-third or one-half thereof twice. Marine products amounted according to the last available statistics to 60 cents per capita and mineral products in 1907 to $24.50 per capita. During 1908 this was probably lessened because of the business depression. Now even if we take the figures $96.31 as correct for the per capita value of manufactures we get a total as follows: PKR CAPITA MAINLAND PRODUCTION OF WEALTH 1908 Manufactures Agriculture Mineral Products Marine Total 96.31 87.60 27.20 60 | 211.71 Hawaii's per capita agricultural output alone was $271.10. But the figure $211.71 is much too high because of the uncorrected amount $96.31 assigned to manufactures. Hawaii then is far better able to support its schools than the mainland. But what is the truth of the case ? The following table tells it: �5 THE FRIEND April, 1909.

At the time for our going to press Dr. Bishop is passing into the larger life. THE Friend, of which he was editor so long and with such distinguished ability and power, will devote much of its next issue to his memory. Titus Coan and Sereno Bishop arc the two names which will longest be associated with the history of Hawaii during the nineteenth century by scientific men. Yet their contributions to religious progress here were even more notable than those they made to science. The story of Dr. Bishop's life is one of rare charm, for he was gifted with insight into two spheres which once thought of as wide apart are seen by our age together. D. S. REMAOKSPTNHE ASTORATE REV.E.OFD.D. G. BECKWITH, IN CHURCH UNION CENTRAL 1887-1893. Having been requested to add a few words on Dr. Beckwith's relations to us as the first pastor of the Central Union Church, I take pleasure in doing so. When this Church was constituted by the union of the Bethel Union Church with the Fort Street Church, it was felt by all that no one else was as well qualified as Dr. Beckwith to perfect the proposed union, to foster the spiritual life of the united Church, and to organize and lead its members in every branch of Christian work. The public service of his installation as pastor took place on the evening of the 20th of November. 1887. He did not come to us as a stranger, nor as an inexperienced beginner in pastoral work, but after twenty-eight years of experience as a pastor in San Fran- cisco and in Waterbury, Conn. He brought us "the rich, ripe counsels of an enlarged acquaintance with spiritual community, and ready to follow his leadership. For six years with indefatigable zeal and fidelity he administered the high trust committed to his charge. To him was chiefly due the unity of purpose and harmony of cooperation, which characterized all the activities of the Church, CDe Dying Christian to fiis Soul.

The secret of his influence for good lay ii. his deep and rich religious experience, his abiding consciousness of union with Christ. The inward sunshine in his soul manifested itself unconsciously in his outward life, brought cheer to the needy and sorrowing, and encouraged those who were oppressed by doubt or a sense of sin to open their hearts to him. By the long discipline through which he had passed, he had been "tried as gold is tried, and refined as silver is refined," to fit him for special service to God and his fellowmen. lands. The strong, tender, generous sympathy of his spirit, his absolute sincerity and unselfishness, combined with a wise discretion and insight into human nature, made him loved and revered by all who knew him. He took a special interest in the children and youth of the congregation, many of whom were led by God's blessing on his labors, to enlist in his Master's service. Many sacred and tender memories are connected with his administration of the Lord's Supper, as well as with other occasions of joy or sorrow in which he presided. It was his privilege to conduct the services connected with the removal of the Church and congregation from the Fort Street Church to this building. The corner stone of the new Church was laid with impressive ceremonies and appropriate addresses by some of its members as well as by representatives of sister Churches, on June 4th, ißor. On the 29th of November, 1892, a memorable farewell service was held in the old Church, in which Dr. Beckwith preached an eloquent farewell sermon, full of interesting and touching reminiscences of the history of the Fort Street Church, in the founding of which he had taken an active part. The dedicatory services, which were held in this Church Dec. 4th, 1892, were solemn and impressive. In particular, that part of the service in which the pastor and people joined in dedicating this house to the service of God, and in declaring the purposes for which it was to be used, might well be pondered by every member of this Church. After six years of unremitting labor, Dr. Beckwith, whose years now approached the limit of three score and ten, and whose bodily strength had begun to fail, resigned the pastorate of this Church on Nov. 26th, 1807, and accepted 1 call to the "Foreign Protestant Church of Makawao," Maui. His resignation was accepted with deep regret, expressed in a letter and a set of resolutions adopted unanimously by the Church. His pastorate closed Jan. 14th, 1894. The parting with his people was like that of Paul with the elders of the Church of Ephesus. We are thankful, however, that by this �6 April, 1909 THE FRIEND change his valuable life was prolonged for fifteen peaceful and happy years, fraught with blessing to the people of Maui. The effect of his example and of the good work which he "did for this community will go on to all eternity. He lias "entered into his rest, and his works do follow him." W. D. Alexander. PROPOSED CONFERENCE ON CHURCH UNION. The Hawaiian Church Chronicle for February in an article by Bishop Restarick contained the following paragraph: "And now brethren, supporters of The FRIEND, members of the one Catholic Church by baptism, professing with our mouths in substance the same faith, partakers with one spirit, what are we going: to do about our unhappy divisions? Will you pray with us for unity and concord? Will you meet with us in conference to talk over the evils and sins of division? Or shall we go on wasting men and means? I know of no district in the world where, by overlapping work in small communities, money is wasted in missionary effort as it is in Hawaii. The Friend says unity is to be brought about by 'aligning ourselves in every good word and work.' We have the kindliest feeling towards the people whom The Friend represents, we are together in social life and in all sorts of good works, but it is impossible to have workers striving to advance denominational life and to avoid such things as those of which we have spoken, and we have not spoken with bitterness but with sadness, and rather as an attempt to clear matters up than to create difficulties." In response to this request the following letter was written: "The Right Rev. Henry B. Restarick, "Honolulu. "My Dear Sir:— "The Hawaiian Board at its last meeting. Friday, March 5. voted unanimously to appoint a committee to confer with you and with such committee as you may wish to appoint, on Church Union. Our Board has appointed a committee of three of which Dr. Scudder is chairman; and you will please address him as to your wishes in the premises. We are sincerely desirous that the conference which you have suggested may result in a closer fellowship and in establishing amone us the utmost Christian comity. "With the prayer that we may be truly guided in this matter by the Spirit of the Master, and with sincere expression of Christian love for you and your fellow-laborers and of good wishes for the * * * work you have in hand, I am, in behalf of the Hawaiian Board, "Yours sincerely, "Wm. Brewster Oleson, "Corresponding Secretary." In the Hawaiian. Church Chronicle for March, the above communication was made public, together with the following reply: "To the Rev. Doremus Scudder, D.D., "Dear Sir and Brother:— "It gave me great pleasure to receive a letter on the subject of a conference on Christian Unity from the Rev. Wm. Brewster Oleson, the corresponding secretary of the Hawaiian Board. He informs me that the Hawaiian Board has appointed a committee of three of which you are chairman to confer with such committee as I may appoint. "I assure you that I appreciate highly the spirit of the letter and the kindly sentiments expressed, and I comply with the request of naming as our committee, myself, the Rev. Canon Simpson and the Rev. W. H. Bliss. "While I am fully conscious of the difficulties which face us, difficulties which we did not create, but which we inherited, I believe that this action of the Board is one of the signs that the Holy Spirit is leading Christians towards unity. "I shall be glad to hear from you as to a time and place of meeting. "Faithfully yours, "Henry B. Restarick, "Bishop of Honolulu." The committee of three appointed by the Board consists of Messrs. Scudder, Oleson and Lowcey, and arrangements are under way for an early conference with the committee appointed by Bishop Restarick. It is possible for this conference to arrive at some mutual understanding of far-reaching value to the cause of Christ in this Territory. To this end. Christians of every name should pray that there may issue from this fraternal conference, the spirit of unity for which the Master poured out His soul in prayer long ago in Judea. *9m *3* *?* *5* *5* A LITERARY PICKLE.

Gilman, which contains interesting reminiscences of the late Rev. Samuel C. Damon, D.D.: It was a pleasure to hear from you whose crowded busy life is so full for others, a pleasure not easily put down with ink and paper, one that opens memories, recollections that stretch away into past years. As the mists pass up the valley and reveal the beauties that form it into a picture, over which golden thoughts bring sunshine. "In the early days of island life." Yes, and when your Father was (at the entering) and in the midst of his busy career. Yes! the Young Man and as partner, the young wife. Counsellor, helpmate and mother, who with him completed a happy united life. How easy it is even after so many years have passed to recall the most happy, cheery manner that was so natural to him. One did not have to wait to get acquainted, the hearty shake of his hand, a glance into those sympathetic eyes, the cordial interest that were spontaneous, gave him at once a hold on those who came in contact with him. I may say I think in truth, that he was a friend of everybody and everybody's friend. Whether religionist or worlding, he was alike to all and held by all in high regard. His calling as the Seaman's Chaplain laid upon him a delicate duty as well as service— ■ duty which he had the insight to recognize, meet and fill to the appraisal of all. And he so won the regard of the men of the forecastle as well as the cabin that he was alike the gentleman, the Christian, the friend; alike to al, without distinction of station. It was not an unfamiliar sight to see him drive his white horse and open two-seated carriage down Nmianu street of a forenoon, stop on the corner of King street, perhaps, with a good-morning to the keeper of the Blonde saloon—waiting till someone of his sea-going flock came up the street from the landing at the wharf. It might be an Admiral, a Captain, a Mate, or only a foremast ward. He would not get past the man who held the reins, and after a few warmhearted words of welcome, one saw the new-comer in the carriage driving round town, seeing the sights, the driver never loosin" the opportunity to tell the good news of which he was so fine a living representative. The drive over, they were just back in time to load up again—with the same subject continued. No wonder he was e'er long Father Damon the Beloved. But it was other attentions he paid—that I knew of—was there in the "hospital" (no Queen's Hospital then) a poor sick "boy" or man. The Chaplain was among the first to find him out and minister in things temporal and spiritual, to the great comfort of mind and body. And if. as was often the case, the last words of consolation and Christian hope fell on closing sensibilities, the pressure of the friendly hand as the waters of the river came �7 THE FRIEND April, 1909. You can "Eat your cake and have it" in a very real sense. You can give away your property and have it,—really enjoy it, as long as you live. You could'nt have it longer than that anyway. This is the idea of "The Conditional Gift Plan" Your money,—property, or whatever can be converted into money,—pays you a good steady income during your life and goes on working for you and for humanity after you are gone. So you "make friends (by) the mammon of unrighteousness" So also, you "lay up for yourself treasures etc." This is no cant. It is Christian stewardship and sound business sense combined.

In spite of stormy weather, the recent meeting of the Hawaii Association at Kohala was well attended. In fact it lias been many a long day since such a large gathering has been seen in the old lole Church. It reminded the Kamaainas of the old days when this commodious stone Church used to be filled to overflowing. And the reminder of former days was just as striking outside as inside; for ranged all about the premises were many vehicles and saddle horses, a score or more of each. The culminating day was on Sunday, the 21st, when the Church building was well-nigh filled with a large, attentive audience numbering three hundred and ninety-five. All the Churches of the island were represented and every pastor was present with a single exception. The Sunday Schools and Endeavor Societies were also well represented. "Why, this is like the old days!" was an exclamation heard more than once. It was certainly a demonstration of the vitality of the Churches on this our big island. What with the splendid meeting at Hilo last June, and this really remarkable gathering at Kohala, the historic Churches of Hawaii have occasion to realize anew their strength and the greatness of their opportunity. Jr9 J* »3* Two things specially contributed to the success of the Kohala meeting, viz., the presence of so many of the leaders in cur Board work; and the recent quite thorough touring of the island by these same leaders, turning their faces toward this Hawaiian Jerusalem, and coming up to Mount Zion fresh from the activities and problems of this our largest and neediest island. Thus came our venerable but wondrously active Apostle, Rev. O. H. Gitlick, and his wife from their visit among the Churches of Kona; and our Kona Luke, the physician, Rev. A. S. Baker, M.D., with his wife and mother, and our youthful Timothy, Rev. H. P. Judd, who already has so many names in the Churches that he will not mind one more, who had come through Hilo and Kau and Kona, and since the meeting has gone back through Waimea and Hamakua to Hilo again, thus completing the circuit of the island; and the Rev. E. S. our Hawaiian Timothy in reality, fresh from a visit among the Churches in Puna, and Kau, and Kona; and our indefatigable Nakuina, always to the fore with his earnest and consecrated cooperation, keeping just ahead of the late freshet in his journeys through Puna, Hilo and Hamakua. These men who had got close to the hearts of our Churches were the vanguard of a fine representation of men and women from these widely scattered Churches who came up to the house of the Lord for prayer and conference. With them came the devoted ministers on whom rests the burden of our Churches. That so many leaders should be present, fresh from intimate contact with the needs of the field, was the real secret of the enthusiasm and harmony and efficiency of this Kohala meeting. fc9* »5* April, 1909. Tv-four inches in two days. On account of the bridges from that point on being all washed away, the trip was turned into a retreat, and after sundry wet experiences, the drenched pilgrims reached Wailuku in season for the monthly ministers' meeting. This was well attended, the pastors from Lahaina, Wailuku, Kahului and Makawao being present, with several Japanese and Chinese evangelists, and a fairly good representation of Hawaiian pastors, notwithstanding the storm. Owing to railroad and other facilities it is comparatively easy to bring together at Wailuku a strong body of ministers of different nationalities. In this respect Maui has a distinct advantage nor almost every other island locality. And this advantage shows itself in the frequency with which our workers in that vicinity are able to get together for fellowship and mutual encouragement. The exercises were of a high order and of great value to all in attendance. By such gatherings, much is being accomplished in supplementing the previous training of our ministers and evangelists, and in promoting a sense of responsibility and of esprit dc corps of utmost value. Too much praise cannot be given to Rev. J. F. Cowan, pastor of the Kohala Union Church, for his kindly cooperation in making the recent meeting such a success. It is a great thing for our Board work to have a man in his position thoroughly helpful and sympathetic toward our workers in the field. It distinctly (5* »(?• O* makes for unity and efficiency.

Christ never built a house, but more splendid edifices have been built to his memory than to all other names put together in the world's history. He never wrote a line of music, but he has inspired more music than any other man. He never painted a picture, but painting was born in his birth. He wrote no great books, but he inspired the most splendid literature the world has seen. He wrought no specific reform, but wherever his cross has gone slavery has been abolished, war has been ameliorated and pestilence has disappeared. The Christian looks back through this ever-increasing illumination and sees in the far-off century the Star from which it comes, and believes that in him he gets the answer to the cry, "Oh, that I knew where I might find him!"—Lyman Abbott. �THE FRIEND 10 Men Working For Men PAUL SUPER POCKET FLASHLIGHTS. The Y. M. C. A. is pushing another Bible reading course, called "Pocket Flashlights." Beginning with the book of Matthew, a few verses are to be read each day, with about fifteen lines of the tersest, livest, most stimulating comments one ever saw. Thousands of men in the States are following this course, and the Association expects to have over ioo men using it by the middle of May. For the busy man who wants a drink from a real spring before beginning his work, and has but five or ten minutes in which to take it, this course is just the thing. The pamphlet costs five cents. Men in office, shop, school and barracks will soon be using it in Honolulu. educational director. A great forward step in Association work in Honolulu will be the securing of an educational director. A college trained man will soon be added to the force, to give all his time to promoting the educational work of the Association. His duties will lie along three lines ; the direction of the Association Institute, which is the night school of the Y. M. C. A.; the planning and securing of educational lectures, to be delivered at frequent intervals in the building; and arranging educational lectures of a most practical nature for the men in the various shops, barracks, and so forth. It is also likely that he will give some time to developing and unifying the night school work in several of the missions and settlements, coordinating this work with that of the Y. M. C. A. This man should be able to develon a night school of two hundred students this coming year. - THEATER MEETINGS. The Religious Work Committee output the Art Theater to a new use. Each day at noon, during the week preceding Easter, a religious meeting was held there, the managers having graciously donated the use of their building. The meetings were half an hour long, with music and an address on a religious topic by Rev. C. C. Wilson, of the Christian Mission. Men went to these meetings who would not attend at other places. CREATING EFFICIENCY. The Association Institute, which closed for the summer the last of March, has enrolled 114 students this year, in II subjects. A study of the nationalities is interesting: American, British and German, 63; Portuguese. 22; Chinese, 16; Hawaiian, 13. This is larger than last year, and much larger than the year before. The proportion of white students will please many, who have had the idea that the Association was not reaching these young men. A larger number than usual are taking the final examinations this year, and that indicates an improvement in the quality of our work. We are gratified to learn that as a result of our instruction, men are getting better positions, or larger wages in their former positions. This means that we are improving the quality of Honolulu citizenship. THAT REMINDS US. April, 1909 THE ANTILLES. Repeated calls have at last led the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. to organize work in Cuba and Porto Rico. Three exprienced secretaries have been sent, one for each of the big islands, and one for general supervision, and a vigorous work for the 6,000,000 people of the West Indies begun. We will bid this work God speed, as one more element in preventing the annexation of Cuba. Thus we see the relation of foreign missions to the pocket book. A TRIUMPH IN CHINA. The Association secretaries were largely responsible for the conversion of Mr. Chang Po Ling, one of the most influential leaders in North China. The president of the Imperial University said, "This is a conversion of far greater significance than that of all the Christians in the past 40 years in Tientsin." EARNED HONORS. One of America's leading statesmen said the other day, that non-Christian men should subscribe to Y. M. C. A. work, purely as a business proposition, if for no other reason, as its output in character made both life and property Gafer. This is the basis, a business proposition, on which almost all our railroads build large Y. M. C. A. buildings and support the work, the basis on which corporations such as manufacturies and street railways provide equipment for Y. M. C. A. work for their employees, and such concerns as Pell Telephone Co., Westinghouse Air Drake Co., Lupton Sheet Metal Co. have the Association conduct educational work for their employees, paying part or all of the fees, and even providing important equipment for the class work. Business men have found that here is an institution with a tried method and sound principles; a high ideal, but both feet on the ground. One of the biggest social affairs in Washington in recent years was the dinner at the New Willard Hotel in honor of the tenth anniversary of the presidency of Mr. S. W. Woodward of the Washington, D. C, Y. M. C. A., attended by 240 men, "the most representative body of business men, citizens, and clergy ever assembled in that city." Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland presided, Gen. J. W.

During his administration the membership has grown from 164 to 5000, and the nroperty from $115,000 to $600,-000. Mr. Woodward, who, by the way, is known to some of our local men, doubtless felt his years of service were appreciated. MARINE BARRACKS NOW. A BUSINESS TRIP. Meetings have been begun at the Marine Barracks, or Camp Very, as it is properly called. The Association has had its eye there for some time. An attempt was made to get the men together at noon one day, with the large result of four men. A better time was chosen, and at the next meeting 232 men came. \Tow each Friday night at 6 o'clock Mr. Ebersole, Mr. Richards and the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., with some one to play or sing special music go to the Camp, and a meeting of a little less than an hour is held. Mr. Ebersole is giving a series of talks on"The Man of Galilee." The night of pay day the meeting was small, but an average of over 100 is expected. The directors have voted to send the General Secretary to the States on a business trip, extending over the months of May and June. The chief items will be the annual conference of Association employed officers at Omaha, the first week in June, and a visit to some of the southern Y. M. C. A. buildings, to see how these associations have planned their equipment and work to suit a warm climate. A new feature in Y. M. C. A. equipment is roof tennis courts and handball rooms, and a study of the practical problems involved in these arrangements is to be made. The trip may include one of the great western college conferences. �11 THE FRIEND "Among the new features at the Baldwin House are the reading room and library indoors, and the play ground outdoors. "I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly," said one who loved little children, and who will dare explain his words to exclude children from oarticipation in the blessing of the abundant life or deny that swings and other play things may help his little ones to realize something of that life. "Mr. Man Hoy is continuing his work quietly among his countrymen, the Chinese. His day school and his Sundayschool go on as usual. HALE ALOHA RESTORED LAHAINA Apropos of the' meeting of the Maui Association in Lahaina, and of the renewed interest in Halealoha, we are happy to present to the readers of The Friend the following communication written at our request: "You express a wish to hear from us at Lahaina and learn what may be doing here by your various friends. You ask about Halealoha, the old building which in the early missionary days was used as a school and church. It is again in use for church purposes as the parish house of the First Christian Church formed in these islands. The mid-week meetings and social functions of the Wainee Church are held in it. It is also the place of the English preaching services conducted by Rev. C. G. Burnham. There was no formal opening of the hall for these services. The next Sunday evening after his arrival at Lahaina in Octo- tthe HALE ALOHA INTERIOR hall opened without any furs or ers to receive him and the people :red to hear his message. The services in English were begun by having one and have been continued with encouraging attendance and interest by having another one on each succeeding Sunday evening. The pastor and people of the Wainee Church cordially support these services. While the congregations are youthful in point of age and diverse in point of nationality there are always some of the older Hawaiian members of the church present and they always give the preacher a« warm hand grasp and a hearty aloha. Mr. Burnham has a regular appointment with the Jun i or Endeavor and his wife has a class of young men in the Sunday REV. D. W. WHITE school. "Mr. White besides his pastoral cure of the Wainee Church is shepherding the Olowalu flock and once in the month crosses Auau channel and spends a Sunday with the church on Lanai. He rejoices with that church in the return, recently, to its fold of a number of members who had separated from it and joined another body. The work at the Baldwin House goes on under Mrs. Simpson and Miss Clapham. The Kindergarten is full and running over of little folks of all the races represented in Lahaina's population. It is a heartening sight to look upon the joyous life of these little ones, and many a mother, perhaps with a little one upon her back, may be seen at door or window, viewing the happy little ones at their work. ...» - ._..»..» CAMPBELL PARK, . lahaina parsonaok "I suppose you will be interestedalso to karn that the Campbell Park, given by the late Mrs. Campbell Parker, is now filled with seats and is open to the public, and that the house in the park, also Mrs. Parker's gift, refitted and turned to face the street and sea, is now the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham.

Smoke, Fire, and Lucifer Matches. There are innumerable interesting points of progress of which mention might be made. Some of these are not especially Hawaiian, but points of worldwide progress. My father built the substantial stone house at Waimea, Kauai, used as the parsonage in the few past years by some of the pastors of the Waimea L'nion Church. He moved to occupy the new station of Koloa in 1835 when for a time he occupied a thatched native house. One of the domestics wishing to take a smoke and aware that tobacco smoke was not welcomed in doors, threw a coal of fire out the window purposing to enjoy a smoke in the rear of the house. The breeze drew the live coal to the thatched wall of the house. It was some years ere the family recovered from the disaster of the sudden conflagration. Soon after this, sulphur matches, called lucifer matches, were invented to the great comfort of cooks, of smokers and of all mankind, relieving from the careful preservation of live coals in the ashes, or from the labor of the Hawaiian art of making fire by friction, rubbing a hard wood chisel upon a piece of soft wood. A box of matches in the hand of that maiden would have saved our house. The Book. Sir Walter Scott on his death-bed asked his friend to read to him out of the book. Lockheart replied, what book? Scott said, the book, there is but one book. The Hawaiian is not a great reader, but the narents and grandparents of the Hawaiians of today were great readers of the Book, and they were believers in the teachings of the book. Higher criticism had not played havoc with their minds. Bible lore filled their minds, Bible phrases affected their daily speech, and in a measure its teachings guided their lives. I remember well the great joy of the believers upon receiving the translation of the New Testament completed in 1837. The translation and publication of the whole bible was accomplished in 1839. The Newspaper. The newspaper was an early gift of Christianity, or of civilization to the Hawaiian. The Lama Hawaii or Hawaiian Torch, issued at Lahainaluna in February, 1834, and the Kumu Hawaii or Ha- waiian Teacher printed in Honolulu in of the same year, were the first newspapers in the language, and were issued by the missionaries. These were succeeded in later years by many literary ventures under different names, as Ka Hae Hawaii, Ka Makaainana, Ke Auokoa, Ka Elele, Ke Kuokoa, Ke Alaula and several others. Ke Kuokoa, founded by my brother, L. H. Gulick, in the sixties, and later carried on by Henry M. Whitney, is still issued weekly by the Hawaiian Gazette Co., Ltd., and the Hoaloha may be counted the lineal descendant of the Alaula. These papers were well read by Hawaiians in the past, and their successors still have wide influence for good upon political, religious and educational questions. Artesian Water.

Through the influence of live stock, the native thatch grass, or pili has given place to the manicnie. The Changes of Flora. Perhaps four-fifths of the trees, shrubs and oranmental flowering plants to be found in Honolulu's gardens are exotic, having been brought to these islands within the past fifty or sixty years. In my premises are to be found the native Hlawaiian kukui, guava and cocoanut. The remainder of the flora, amounting to perhaps twenty varieties, are all of late importation, and other gardens will present a much wider range of plants nearly all lately imported. Sugar cane seems to have been raised from time immemorial, though improved varieties have been imported. The Thatched Cottage. The thatched cot- tages fifty years ago the homes of all the people, have been sup- planted by the North West lumber house with shingled or corrugated iron roof. The latter being a more healthy abode than the former; and now even the thatch grass, a species of wild oats, can be found in but few localities. The changes in the vegetable world are fully paralleled in the world of animated nature. In 1793 the voyager Vancouver landed the first horned cattle on Hawaii. In 1803 a Capt.

But the study of all are of value only as changes bearing upon the condition and development of man by Him who "giveth to all life and breath and all things, and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." carriers. Attitude of Hawaiians Towards Alien Races. We have daily cause to admire the many manly and generous characteristics of the native Hawaiians, who have for one hundred years given such hearty welcome, first to the AngloSaxon race, and of later years to the Asiatic races who have come in upon them in such overwhelming numbers. The gospel of manhood's sonship to one heavenly father, impressed upon the plastic Hawaiian by the missionaries has borne the peaceable fruits of righteousness, and in all the changes of most vital interest to the aborigines has saved them from riot, race war, or any united breach of good fellowship with the incoming peoples. Upon the passing away of their chiefs, the fealty of the people was held by the missionaries whom they judged to be their best friends. The missionary fathers have passed away, and the people who from time immemorial had been hero worshippers, are now left to be intelligent law-abiding freemen. In no part of the world do we find a population of more mixed races and nowhere do we find the manhood of man more fully and cordially respected. The Chinaman is not liable to have his queue pulled nor the Japanese lady her peculiar dress ridiculed. The respect of man for his manhood is cordially conceded rather than for his education, his wealth, the color of his skin, or of his hair, or for the race in which he chanced to be born. Hawaii's Influence on the Orient. I believe that Hawaii has had great influence upon both Japan and China. The leaders of Japan knew how during the past century England had absorbed India, how during the past Spain had appropriated Mexico and South America. Fear of like treatment from foreign nations led her to bar out the foreigner with scrupulous care until the persuasive tactics of Commodore Perry induced them to take down the bars.

When King Kalakaua made a tour of the world in 1881, after visiting the Mikado and the high officers of the Japanese government at Tckyo, he came to Kobe. On landing he was at once greeted by officials who expected him to be the guest of the governor, and, of course, to go directly to the residence of that dignitary. But instead, to their surprise, he inquired for the residence of Mrs. Gulick, on Kobe Hill, and made his first call upon my mother, who had been fifty years a missionary to his country, a fitting tribute, and of healthful significance to the Japanese officials. I was at the time absent from my Japanese home, on a furlouhg, and making a tour of the globe, completing my circuit a little before Kalakaua completed his tour, being myself so far as I know, the first Hawaiian-born person to complete the circuit of the globe. My pictures of Hawaii have related almost exclusively to the native Hawaiian race, which now comprises but about one-fourth of the population of our islands, though in some respects the most picturesque. Their uplifting and final admission to full American citizenship, is the happy culmination of their career under missionary tutelage. Nothing short of the faithful labor of a generation of missionary teachers, could have fitted them for the high privilege of American citizenship. I agree with a sentiment uttered by Rev. F. C. Powell, upon his late return to San Francisco, from Honolulu, "That the Hawaiian Territory is the most important distributing center of civilization in the World." that humble and little Hawaii, had become an enlightened people and had received a welcome among the Christian nations of earth. These simple facts, most undoubtedly had great influence in leading Japan's rulers to open the door' for the incoming of Christian missionaries, and prompted them in their eager desire for admission to the circle of Christian and enlightened nations, to hope for a like recognition. If little and lately heathen Hawaii, could have her autonomy acknowledged, why could not she? Japan waited long, but not until she abolished trial by torture, not until the proclamation of a constitution granting full religious liberty and the establishment of enlightened courts of justice could the Christian nations entrust their citizens to be fully ruled and tried by the government of Japan.

Leaving the Volcano, I journeyed to Kapapala ranch and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Monsarrat for a few days, then went over to Waiohinu to spend Sunday. This little village possesses among other things a brass band, and its excellent music calls forth the worthy praise from resident and visitor alike. On two evenings I was surprised to hear how well it played. It compares favorably with any band in the Territory. Sunday morning I was present at the Church services at Waiohinu. The Sunday School was well attended, and the number of children and young men was noticeably large. I gave a talk after the teaching of the lesson, and then in the morning service preached the sermon. Rev. E. S. Timoteo was present and, after a conference with him, it was decided that we should travel together through the Kona district visiting Churches, Sunday Schools, Christian Endeavor Societies and individuals. Sunday afternoon I rode down to Honuapo and visited the Sunday School of that little village. At Waiohinu that evening Mr. Timoteo and I took the principal part in the C. E. meeting at the request of the members. Monday I rode back to Pahala and became the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. ( >gg for a couple of days. Before leaving Waiohinu, there was a meeting in the Church to commemorate the birthday of cur first President and addresses appropriate to the occasion were made by Mr. Timoteo, Mr. Kamoku, the pastor of the Church, and myself. At Pahala that evening we held an enthusiastic meeting in the interests of the Sunday School and nearly all the Protestant Hawaiians were present. On returning to Waiohinu on Wednesday there was the regular mid-week prayer-meeting which Mr. Timoteo and I converted into a farewell meeting for we were to leave the next day for Kona. i IN SOUTH KONA. From Waiohinu to Hookena school house is a long distance, over forty miles, some of the way being over the old lava flows of Kahuku and the recent flow of 1907. In a carriage one feels the unevenness of a rough road and this long stretch of rough driving is not eagerly looked forward to by many. But to be mounted on a splendid horse it is a far different matter and the journey then becomes a positive pleasure, especially if one has never before taken that road.

After lunch and a visit to the school and the new court house we went to the old summer palace of the late King Kalr.kaua and admired the outlook upon the sea, the huge rollers tumbling in over the rocks, and in the yard of the palace we were pleased to find many fine specimens of the kon tree, now quite rare. In the evening the sweet-toned bell of the huge native Church called to worship many who were interested in Sunday School work. In the audience were a number of Chinese children who seemed to be much interested in the service. The next morning Mr. Timoteo and I rode from Kailua to Kohanaiki and held a delightful meeting in the Church of thai community. After a pleasant luncheon we rode up to the Kalaoa Chapel and addressed a large audience principally of children who came over from the public school after the day's session.

O* The attendance at Lahaina was not as large as at the Kohala meeting, which was almost without precedent as to large attendance, but the tone of the Lahaina meeting was one of earnestness and of supreme devotion to the cause of Christ. Among the results of the meeting we may mention these: Resolutions of respect to the memory of Rev.

It looked as though we would close the year with a debt of kbOQt $3,000, and it seemed that we ought to get that money. We have. Thanks to the generosity of one of our friends (who has not given us permission to use his name in this connection) we expect to close the year with a small balance. This calls for PRAISE rather than APPEAL. In such a connection the Salvation Army people always call for a "volley,"— which consists in a chorus of Halle- lujahs. What more fitting ending of the column, or the year? T.R. I Sereno Edwards Bishop was one of the most forceful men these islands ever produced. The first impression which he made upon a new acquaintance was strength, the second grace. Physically, he was a vigorous specimen of manhood, able for hard tasks and in love with them. But his mind was even ruggeder and sturdier than his body, lie was a rare combination of theologian and scientist. If he had devoted himself solely to investigation of natural phenomena, he would have attained great distinction because he possessed three qualities in unusual degree. He could see things as they arc. lie was patient in observing. And he owned a scientific imagination. His discovery of the Bishop rings illustrates this combination of traits. He was very happ.' in his inductions, his guesses. Therefore it was always a delight to talk with him, He was never dull. Whether one agreed with him or not he was always illuminating. He had the blessed faculty of begetting thot, so that a conversation upon a tentative or somewhat hazy viewpoint resulted in clear conviction, quite independently of the special opinion held by Dr. Bishop concerning the matter under discussion. This is a very unusual gift and gave to him a peculiar distinction. Dr. Bishop was exceedingly openminded and at the same time very tenacious of his own opinions. He formed his mind slowly after due consideration and was not inclined thereafter to change it. But he was too keen witted to be stubborn. His dislike to abandoning a position once won and held inclined him to warmth in its defense. But he was so used to mulling things over that his opponent's arguments were given subsequent faithful consideration, and if they stood test, they were accorded full weight. It was therefore no infrequent experience to have Dr. Bishop exclaim some days or weeks after a spirited debate "You have convinced me on further thot that you are right and I have come over to your view." This trait added a lovableness to his mental equipment that constituted one of his chief charms. 3 The Friend No. 5 In theology Dr. Bishop had been trained a strict Calvinist. But even as a young man when he first came to Hawaii in mission work he had been forced by his keen mind to abandon some of the extreme positions of this system so that he was looked at askance by the harder shelled older theologians here. He held his own, however, and as is so often the case found himself during his latter years classed as one of the more conservative thinkers. But his openness of mind was marked even up to the close of his life and he displayed an unusual readiness to change his fixed views upon reasonable evidence. By nature he was a dogmatist and in the heat of a theological discussion there could be no mistaking his view. But even as has been noted in connection with questions purely scientific so in apprehension of religious truth he was progressive and moved on measurably in response to the tlr'nking of the day. When to all this was added a singular frankness, a deference to the individuality of the other man, the gentle courtesy so natural to this genial clime, and a real interest in persons the product of the indwelling Christ, it was little wonder that all who met Dr. Bishop were deeply impressed with his grace of bearing. • He was essentially a missionary and His personal relaloved his calling. tion to Jesus was first in his life. Next came the great interests of God's Kingdom among men. But God's world was to him a real part of that Kingdom and hence his vital sympathy with nature in all her manifestations. It was the spirit of Him who notes the sparrow's fall. Dr. Bishop like his Puritan forebears was an ardent patriot. When the question either of allowing these islands to lapse into barbarism or of maintaining the upward march of civilization was forced upon the people here, there was no hesitancy in his mind. He took up his pen and became the doughtiest champion of the cause of progress that Hawaii had. His services in this controversy were second to those of no other man. His clear expositions exerted wide influence thru the United States and helped greatly in paving the way for annexation. The issue has justified his foresight. The splendid religious �THE FRIEND 4 progress made by the llawaiians since their Churches have found themselves during the last few y.ears. their unique growth in self-government and their industrial progress constitute history's vindication of the course for which he so valiantly contended. There is little need to add that Dr. Bishop believed that the chief cause of the real advancement, which he expected would be achieved under the new regime, would be the emancipation of religion incident to a closer union of Hawaii with the United States. This opinion is now being fought out and we believe successfully. At heart Dr. Bishop was singularly childlike. His faith was simple and sincere. It was a great pleasure to leave with him the high realms of speculation and descend into the lovely valleys of Christian experience. Here he was the child with hand in the grasp of the Great Father. Such a character is a splendid legacy to the people of Hawaii. His whole life of 82 years with the exception of the short time spent in scholastic preparation was passed in these islands. With the emancipation of his spirit fro\r the body his life enters the history of this community to continue ever as a vital upbuilding force. The Spirit of the Fathers themselves, love of education and lavish giving of money, time and themselves to the highest things on the part of the second missionary generation here, wiiat sort of a place would these islands be today? Fortunately, we are witnessing just now the culmination of this second act in the drama of Hawaii. The noble gifts of Good Friday following so si ion after those made last year to the Kawaiahao and Mills departments of the Mid-Pacific Institute serve merely to emphasize the magnificent story of a beneficence so continuous and so generous that the world holds not its parallel. Before this second generation passes off the stage it will have achieved a record in its way every whit as unique as that which made the Hawaii of 1820 to iB6O the apostolic wonder of the nineteenth century. Will the third generation live up to this splendid heredity? It is a giant's task, but we are inclined to believe it will. The Legislature of 1909. It has past and the sigh of relief from the people is audible. It is a thankful sigh because the Legislature did so well. 1 lie Governor and the House saved the day for the people, a few Senators helping. Ihe cause of popular education received decided support in the final appropriations for the public schools anu the public library. Fortunately, the liquor men were effectually checkmated in every move they made. Many detail bills where passed which remedied not a few defects in previous legislation. The general characteristic oi the session was its businesslike consideration of the finances of the Territory and its devotion to the cause of the development of our natural resources. The best commentary upon its work will be the next two years. We look for larger things in every department of activity here. We fear no boom, the Washington Government has already forestalled that by its veto upon free travel, but we do expect steady healthful growth. May, 1909. And there we are content to leave this latest commentary upon the revised Bret Harteism "That for ways that are dark And for tricks that are vain, U. S. politics is peculiar." Meantime the President has treated the Territory to a revelation of his true mind in his judicial appointments. It has long been the observation by leading lawyers in the East that no President ever made so many first-class appointments as Benjamin Harrison. We look to see William H. Taft better this record. He certainly has begun well in Hawaii. George Washington Woodruff, the new Federal Judge, is one of Yale's distinguished sons who has honored every posit'on he has occupied since he entered upon his active life work. In the prime of his powers, he will prove a most valuable acquisition to the Territory. To those who know the man and his record the only wonder is that he is willing to leave what seems n far larger sphere at the nation's center for service in so remote a field. The wisdom of his choice will be made manifest as Hawaii advances to her real destiny. Judge Perry's choice is very popular of course. Everybody is glad to see h'tii hack in his old place. The appointment of Judge Whitney is one more illustration of the eternal fitness of things which has so often characterized the history of Hawaii. The Legislature did no better piece of work this year than pass the juvenile delinquents bill and now President Taft has crowned this legislation by the choice of the ideal boy's Judge for thisTerritory. What this is going to mean for the prevention of crime in these islands the future alone can disclose? Those who know Judge Whitney believe him possessed of powers that should place him some day in the highest judicial office in the Territory. Tt seems certain that with him in control of juvenile delinquency no such horrible travesty upon justice can be repeated as that which exposed little Joe Rosa to a police torture that first frightened him into confessing a crime he never committed and then sentenced him to four years imprisonment therefor. Some years ago The Friend commented upon the frightful history of enforced confessions from suspected criminals resulting in death penalties and long imprisonments for perfectly innocent persons. The time will come when confessions of prisoners made anywhere except in open court or under the most stringent safeguards will not be accepted as testi- To a close student of the real Hawaii during the past decade it has become increasingly evident that the missionary spirit here is as vital as ever and instead of abating is moving on with increasing momentum. When history writes its estimate of the second generation of the missionary families, who made Hawaii, it will record no failure but a new demonstration of that divine wisdom which guides the destiny of man steadily onward to the Kingdom of God. We are beginning to understand more and more why in these mid-sea islands the second generation of missionary families came to hold so large a share of the wealth developed here instead of becoming preachers.

D. S. DR. S. E. BISHOP AS EDITOR OF "THE FRIEND." The late Dr. S. E. Bishop was a great journalist, although his talents in that line were not manifested till late in life. His famous article on the "Cross Roads of the Pacific", published in the Review of Reviews in 1891. was a master-piece in its way. and left little to be added by any later writers on the subject. For many years he was a highly valued contributor to the N. Y. Independent. He assumed the editorship of the "Friend" in July 1887, and conducted it with little aid from others until April. 1902. As has been truly said by the P. C. Advertiser: "The Friend, while under his sole editorship was literature." ()n all subjects he was independent, outspoken and fearless. Where moral issues were involved, he always "rang true." His articles on religious subjects came fresh from the depths of a great mind and heart. He did not "faintly trust the larger hope," but could say: "I know in whom I have believed." Yet, positive as were his convictions, he was tolerant and sympathetic towards those who honestly differed from him in creed or forms of worship. A prominent place in his paper was always given to the subject of Missions both at home and abroad, and especially to the interests of the Hawah'an people, whom he intimately knew, and to whose welfare he had devoted his life. sey Gulick, was in a measure, such a as Sereno Bishop, given to books. "Read and you will know." was the motto, or the guiding star, of their lives.

He ever felt that his leadership of that grand training school of Lahainaluna, was the most effective and valuable work of his life. His editorship for many years of The Friend, was his crowning service to this community and to humanity. His was a life of usefulness beyond that of most men. As a member of the American Board's mission to Hawaii, and in later years as an active member of the Hawaiian Board, Dr. Bishop's services and his counsels were of great value. As a member of the Standing Committee of Central Union Church, he laid us all under grateful tribute to his worth and lofty ( hristian character. May, 1909. THE FRIEND the coining of the phrases;—"The Paradise of the Pacific," "The Cross Roads of the Pacific," "The Tropical land where cold is unknown and heat does not scorch." The prospective opening of the Panama Canal fired his imagination and set him to paint in glowing colors the future Hawaii. As the end of this brave soldier drew near, he could say with the great apostle to the Gentiles, "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." He had no gloomy apprehensions for the future, but looked forward with confidence to what the future might bring to him. About two months ago when accompanying him in a carriage ride, he spoke of his own failing memory, saying, "You need not be surprised, if, this afternoon, I should have no memory of this ride: I welcome this as a sign of the approaching end of my earthly career." Such fortitude and such faith are sublime. Dr. Bishop had five children, two of whom died in infancy, while his son Edward, of great promise, died while in college. • His widow Mrs. Cornelia Sessions Bishop, and one daughter Mrs. Jonathan Shaw, are in Honolulu, and his son John S. Bishop, M.D., of Forest Grove, Oregon, and five grandchildren survive to cherish his memory. The following verses seem to breathe the spirit of his closing days: His Versatility Dr. Bishop as a man, was broad in his sympathies and earnest in stating and maintaining what he believed to be the truth. He was of stalwart mind, firm in his convictions, open and unhesitating in statement of his views. Doubt and uncertainly found no place in his mind; positive convictions guided his career. His literary attainments were very wide, and his manner of speech was unusually winning and pleasing. He acquired in boyhood the Habit of early rising, and was a constant and faithful walker. The early risers of this town, can bear witness, that till within a year or two, he was on the wharves early every morning noting the changes CROSSING THE BAR. in the fleet, and the improvement of the wharves.

In 1839 he left home on a whaler, around the Horn, landing at Newport, R. 1., May 1, 1840. He was fitted for college at Rochester, N.

In June 1852 he was ordained chaplain to Seamen by the First Presbytery of New York, and served in that capacity at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaiian Islands,' until February 1862.

DIGEST OF FIELD REPORTS FOR QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, '09. 1.—The past quarter was marked by special activity in touring among the churches and mission stations by our superintendents and traveling evangelists. Stormy weather interfered with the success of this touring in some localities, but on the whole the results were gratifying. Our workers certamlv gained a better acquaintance with the needs of the field at first hand; pastors and churches were encouraged by the presence of other sympathetic workers; annoying differences in some of our churches were allayed; plans for the material advantage of the churches were canvassed and secured hearty and intelligent support; and new interest was kindled that showed itself in increased attendance and a spirit of cooperation at the Association meetings.

At some of our Chinese and Japanese out-stations where discouraging conditions have hindered in the past, special interest has developed, so much so in two instances that the Japanese evangelists in charge who were to have returned to Japan this summer on furlough, have decided to remain over another year in the interest of their work. 3.—The renovation of church buildings goes on apace. From almost every quarter the report comes of repairs undertaken or completed; of debts for repairs and church furnishings cancelled; of large sums subscribed for new structures; ami of generous gifts by individuals to our various enterprises for furniture, etc. One of the marked events of the quarter was the dedication, practically free of debt, of the Kalihi Settlement building. 4.—The experiment of occasional I— English speaking services in connection lin Sunday Schools and Endeavor Sowith some of our more favorably situ- I cieties, with growing attendance, comes ated Hawaiian churches is proving its from all d-rections.

The Chapman-Alexander Evangelistic Party has come and gone, but the interest which their brief stay quickened still continues. Every Wednesday evening, for a half hour before the midweek service a group of earnest individuals are meeting for prayer. The burden of their prayers is that men and women may be brought into a saving knowledge of Christ, and that an evangelistic campaign may be undertaken during the coming summer or autumn here in Honolulu. Last week, Tyesdav. the Woman's Prayer meeting was again resumed, and thus the interest is widening. Tn harmony with this manifest interest the Minister and Assistant Minister will alternate in preaching a series of Sunday evening evangelistic sermons during the next few months. items to We ask all who read remember Central Un'-on Church in their prayers that she may meet ever more freely her mission to the fast growing American population of th-s mid-Pacific metropolis.

By this time the news of Mr. C. M. Cooke's generous gift of $50,000 toward a new building for the Young Men's Christian Association has spread abroad. It comes at a time when it is greatly needed, the Association's recent growth along some lines making a new building almost imperative, and the social needs of the young men of Honolulu making such a building highly desirable. Along educational lines the Y. M. ('. A. has .iad a substantial development, until this past year 114 students were enrolled in its night school classes, and the addition of an educational di rector will further increase this next year to about 200. The discovery of the working boy has added to our opportunity and responsibility, and in the future our educational work must take him more into consideration. Where Will He Go? But the great question with which the Y. M. C. A. is concerned, is what shall the young man do with his leisure hours ? He can not spend them in his room in a place like Hawaii. And what is there, outside his room to attract him? We soon exhaust the list of wholesome places, and find a long list of the other sort. The needs of these men has appealed to Mr. Cooke, and his large gift is a vote of confidence in the Association to fill the bill. Our new building will have a large lobby for general social life, with billiard tables, music alcove, pleasant reading room, game room, a bowling alley, and perhaps a shooting gallery, a placce where soft drinks will be sold, and other social attractions, making the Y. M. C. A. building the most attractive social resort in town, the natural place for a man to go to meet other men, or to drop in for an hour's recreation. Such a building will materially reduce saloon dividends, and save many a young man especially strangers who have no place to go. More Work Each Day. Exercise is the price of efficiency in Hawaii.

Los Angeles has just completed a building worth about $600,000 and this will be visited on the return trip, in July. So the work goes forward, and Honolulu is to have the building that the Y. M. C. A. has hoped and prayed for for a number of years, its present quarters having long been recognized as inadequate to a modern well-rounded Association work. our new building we plan to have a physical department that will do just these things. Instead of having the gymnasium underground, it will be up in the air with good ventilation and plenty of fresh air in the locher rooms as well.

A MESSAGE FROM THE HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. Miss Ellen Lyman, who, in the absence of her brother, Mr. L. C. Lyman, is Acting Principal of the Hilo Boarding School, writes under a recent date: "We are glad to let the readers of 'The Friend' hear from us again and we wish that many of you, on your way to the Volcano, would remember that the Hilo Boarding School is in Hilo, and would make us a call, seeing for yourselves our seventy-three boys of many different races, working harmoniously together in classrooms, shops, on the farm, and on the play ground." Mr. Lyman is spending a year at "Hampton Institute," where he is endeavoring to gain all the help and suggestions possible for the advance of educational work in Hawaii. In a recent letter published in the "Hilo Tribune" he refers to one of the great educational movements of the day: "There has never been a time when agriculture has received so much attention as it is receiving at present throughout the schools and colleges of the United States. It is inspiring to be in the midst of this movement, as we are at present, here at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. This institution has the reputation throughout the country of being the best agricultural school' in the United States. We are continually meeting agriculturists from otiicr schools, who. either come here to observe Hampton's methods, or. who are invited here to tell what they are doing. We have thus had opportunities of listening to lectures from men who are leaders in this agricultural movement from all over the States. The idea of agriculture in the schools is not new to Hawaii. The idea of keeping near the soil, of training the mind through the hand, was started by the early missionaries. In fact, it was the work done right there in Hilo, in its early days, that suggested to General Armstrong the thought of industrial agricultural education here at Hampton." Mr Lyman feels that special effort should be made to extend the beneficial influence of agricultural training in all our schools. He says further, "We need to pay more attention to the teaching of common things; as someone expressed it, "Teach common sense things in a common sense way about common things." We need to supplement the work in books with more practical work, and to make farming attractive to children, to both boys and girls. Let them learn by doing. It is needless to say that we arc gathering all the ideas we can to apply to the work at the Hilo Boarding School. And with some funds donated by friends of the schools, will purchase several articles of equipment lor class work shop and farm purposes. ( hir only regret is that the amount at our disposal is not large enough to get what the school really needs. Had we a thousand dollars instead of three hundred and fifty we could use it ah on the immediate needs of the school." We are very glad to learn that some friend has recently sent one hundred dollars to aid Mr.' Lyman in securing further equipment. Perhaps others will come to his assistance and help him in securing the balance desired towards completing the desired one thousand dollars. THE WORK AT MAUNAOLU SEMINARY. There is very little said in the papers about Maunaolu, but we arc still here and taking no backward steps in educational methods, morals or ethics. We have a full attendance, and have had no sickness. Papers, needle work, and lauhala are being prepared for the Alaskan Exposition. We have even had moving pictures. Great was the delight of the girls when told that Mr. Tetania Onoda would bring up his machine and show pictures of the Okavama Orphanage in Japan. The Alumnae Association now numbers between fifty and sixty members many of whom are earnestly working to keep alive the interest and love for the school. The Association has pledged itself to help support at the school a homeless child whose grandmother was at one time a pupil in the Seminary. It may he of interest to some of the readers of "The Friend" to know that a letter from Miss Helen E. Carpenter, Principal for many years, has been received recently. Miss Carpenter is living in Massachusetts and is in somewhat feeble health, but retains her interest in the school and remembers the pupils with much aloha. This letter comes at a most opportune time as an effort has been made to learn certain facts relating to the early history of the school, all records of which were destroyed in the fire of 1898. Miss Carpenter writes that she made a copy of much valuable data which she will be pleased to send to us. E. L. H. 11 KOFRHES APLMT EMINARY.

On Wednesday, March 17, we had 'open house" and most of the visitors availed themselves of the opportunity to go through the buildings. All expressed themselves pleased with their visit and all agreed that there was an immediate need of more dormitories and a larger teaching force. The beds are so close together in our dormitories that there is not room to walk between them. In fact, there is just a narrow aisle around the room between the beds and trunks. There is no office, so the Principal's bedroom must act as an office, also; and should we get the teacher we so much need, we would need another room for her. If someone would only remember Ko hala now! When she is getting so many new pupils and is just ready to advance, it seems a pity to be held back by lack of funds.

And whither the sealed orders of my conscience read when once I get them open I go, in company, or alone. I owe to nobody an apology for what I am and what I do as an elector w'thin the triangle of my own conscience, mv own judgment and the law of the land. The thought of making such a statement is suggested by the receipt of many letters, most of them applauding, but some expressing grief, surprise or great perplexity at what they call my leaving the Prohibition Party. The occasion of this congestion of my correspondence is a recent interview of mine with some Omaha newspaper reporters, which achieved a surprising publicity, by reason. I susnect. of the head-lines rather than the subject matter. The cist of the art'ele was. that "The Prohibition Party was like a fire-bell. Tt awoke the people. They are up and do ing. In such a case there are two things to do--ring the bell more, or put out I am for putting out the fire, whatever may become of the bell." I was correctly reported; and the statement seemed and still seems to me entirely sane and just, and important enough, too. But ; t was not news: and the only reason it attracted so much attention was that the daily papers were not very well informed about Prohibition Party history. I have held precisely the same attitude for more than the fire. bound. To get men and women to take and keep to, such an attitude was the primary motive of the Prohibition Party. When it took up the burden of its prophecy against the drink traffic, it had, in effect, just two propositions on the subject; that the liquor traffic ought to be forbidden by law; and to that end, that the power of the old rival, sectional, parties to hold back the liquor issue from the people ought to be broken. For these things it made a wonderful fight and won what a truly annotated and sent forerunner always wins, increase for its principles with decrease for itself. It never enrolled more than a very small per cent, of prohibit'onists. But those it did enroll were of the quality to bolt it as they had bolted the others, for sufficient cause. The old parties could have re-enlisted everyone of them at any moment by declaring, in a convincing tone of platform, in favor of a fair popular trial of the liquor traffic at the bar of an election. And strange to say. a major'ty of each of the old parties were, more or less, earnestly in favor of that: but they had the wrists and ankles of their citizenship in the narty stocks and were prohibit'onists only in their minds. The Prohibition Party was always insignificant numerically. Its power was in its independence. Tn forty years of magnificent campaigning it made no growth as a third party, beyond the bare requirements of vigorous health: and when its work was done it began to diminish. It was a daring, inconsistent, splendid tlrng to do, to form a political party to teach super-partizan patriotism on moral issues. But it did it, in the fear of God, and won, in the old sad way of all the prophets. The beacon fires of its own triumph threw ; tself into the shadow. But the record is sure, that largely because of what it did and the wav it did it partyism is a lost cause in the great refomi —not dead, but dying surely and rapidly. But a few of us. and only a few, were caught by the sleeping sickness of partv'sm, and not having thoroughly ap- prehcnded the nature of the business, and, not unnaturally, being infatuated with the splendor of the performance, wish to keep on making way for liberty although the liberty road is wide open and beginning to be fairly well traveled. This tends to make ridiculous what came near being sublime. It is as if the friends of Arnold Winklercid had tried to galvanize his body for another dash at the lines of tyranny that he had already broken by his initiative and his sacrifice. The purpose of the Prohibition Party has been substantially accomplished and its method of agitation abundantly justified. It conceived and surveyed a trans-civic road from personal conscience to Congress; and now that the people are turning out by precincts, towns, counties and states to grade and lay and use their local sections of the great main line, it would be sheer folly for it to oppose, disparage or delay them and demand that they do all at once, or nothing. Picks, shovels, cuts, culverts, fills, p ; les, tunnels and bridges are not "through trains." certainly; but they mean through trains in due time — for all the gaps that still divide tingangs.

I am for the extermination of the beverage liquor traffic, by the will of the people and in the manner chosen by the people—just as they made this nation —by beginning right where one lives, without boasting or whining, and by towns, counties, territories and states working inward and upward to the federal capitol. The Prohibition Party made the breach. The prohibition party has taken possession of the land. I go with the party. THEH IONUTL K AWAII. Whether the collapse of the recent plot of the liquor dealers to pull the teeth of the licensing law is to be counted a decisive victory cannot be determined until the Commission organizes and shows what kind of stuff it is made of. But it is quite certain now. that the impudence of the Moore bill, and the swagger of its sponsors, to the effect that drugs were absolutely fixed to pass it, in spite of the popular judgment, have increased the public detestation of the business, the public distrust of the men engaged in it. and the public determination to have men of known integrity in office. Mean men outnumber the decent in the liquor trade, and the worse counsels determine the action of their Association: otherwise the Moore bill would not have been presented. Any saloonkeeper that intended to obey the law and respect the will of the people, would feel as sah." under the present law as he could feel under any restrictive measure and would naturally shrink from the plain folly and the suggested rascality of the attack upon it. By "saloonkeeper" is meant any liquorseller: for all the liquorsellers in the tcrtitorv are in effect retailers, because of the small packages that are permitted to be wholesaled and that arc in fact peddled to drinkers in the name of "deliveries." And if there is any spectacle in the world of legitimate business that is contemptible beyond comparison, it is the wholesale delivery of short half-pint bottles of whiskey among the laborers and soldiers; thus making all outdoors a kind of peripatetic saloon. And moreover, the wholesalers are, most if not all of them, owners or controllers of saloons—the breweries, of many; the wine and spirit merchants, of enough. And because it is dominated by the inferiors, the liquor trade can always be depended on to do the foolish thing, 13 now that it is actually up against a light for its existence. Its mind is clouded with a long heredity of contempt for law. Not since the civil war, when fed- eral, state and municipal governments began to be dependent on the income of blood, money, has it given honest obedi- ence to any restrictive regulation, unless it wished to or had to, until very recently. Calloused to the sight of human misery, immune to shame, and confident of political corruption, it has come completely and instinctively to despise the legislature, the courts and the police, and naturally it finds it hard to change 'ts age-long attitude of truculence. to meet the new conditions now impending. Nor is the liquor trade to be too and sweepingly censured for being what it is, in this respect. The license system, wlr'eh began by pointing out the menace of the business to the health, happiness and good order of the community, and ended by selling to it a status on the level with wholesome and necessary industries, was itself immoral cowardly and silly, and begot a race of harshly law-despisers, as surely as an apple tree hears apples. To lesritini'ze a business that was bad and only bad, for a cash fee. and then command it to be good, was the surpassing folly in the history of remedial legislation. The alcoholic drink business would have gone down by its own dead weight long ago if the restrictive features of the licensing law had been respected and obeyed, as groceries and clothing stores obey the laws: because in such conditions it might have produced a guild of self-respecting men, content with fair returns on their investments Bui as it is, while some good men persist among the business buccaneers, the rank and file rely on cn'me for the "velvet" in the base and awful traffic. Tt is to the drunkards, the minors, the male and female prostitutes, the gamblers and other creatures of the under world, that the trade looks for its enormous and hideous prosperity. Tt was no thought of justice, as between law-abiding citizens: and stable trade cond'tions in the interest the public good, that inspired the recent fo<av on the people's representatives, but the greed and brutality of long habit and nerverted natures, snatching at a chance to regaiii. the outlaws' paradise where "everything goes." Tt is not pleasant to write thus about a business which st: ll, for all the Hvht and knowledge of these days, can number reputable men among if. managers and sponsors. But this is not a time or place for mincing truthful words. The decent men who still grope blindly in the ruin business must be made to realize, that religion, science, economics a.id clean politics hold them, as to that one thing, enemies of God and man, disseminators of idleness, poverty, insanity, vice and crime. They do half-know already, that of all the agencies employed in the last hundred years of ag'tation to suppress their business, or mitigate the misery it entails, nothing has worked so steadily and dramatically to bring it to its present desperate extrenr'ty, as the unfaltering and contemptuous lawlessness of the common run. There seems good reason for believing that the present boards of license Commissioners will prove fit to exercise the discretion of the counties. The Governor knows the law and the people. It is unthinkable that he would be negligent or complaisant in his appointments. The law. itself forbids him. whatever might be his personal bias, to accomplish a prejudged policy by namFair, open■ng radicals, either way. minded, fearless citizens, to think, to hear, to determine, are contemplated and. doubtless, appointed. There is nothing to be feared concerning them, save possibly, that they may fail to grasp, in full, the measure of their official dignity and duty. Tt is the tntblic discretion they arc charged with, not the right administration of technical rules-- a sound, broad. untrammeted discretion as to the present use of the absolute power and tight of the people. They are not umpires between the people and the liquor dealers, they are the supreme voices of the counties, and they owe nothing to any man. as a ,rain«t the common goo/1.

The people thought Barnabas was Jupiter and Paul Mercury and wanted to worship them as gods, but Paul and Barnabas protested that they were men whose object was to turn people from such vanities unto the living God. About this time Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and persuaded the people that not gods but devils possessed the missionaries. Accordingly the fickle people stoned Paul until they thought he was dead. He was, however, only stunned, and on the next day the missionaries went on to Derbe. Daily Readings.

Faith which does not show itself in works can do no good to its possessor or to the world. If one says he has faith, call upon him to show it by his good works, for in no other way can faith become visible. It is not enough to believe that God is the one and only God; even devils believe that. Abraham and Rahab proved their faith.

One characteristic of vital religious faith is that it is the foundation upon which stands all that the Christian hopes for. It is the power that keeps unseen realities before the soul.

At Mahukona Mr. and 15 Mrs. Gulick, Mr. Oleson, Mr. and Mrs. Nakuina boarded the steamer and we had a rough trip across the Hawaii channel. At Lahaina we found that the meetings had already begun and a day each had been devoted to the Sunday School and to the Christian Endeavor. Saturday, May 27th, was the time scheduled for the Sunday School Hoike instead of Sunday as is the usual custom. The change proved very satisfactory, though perhaps the attendance was not as large as it would have been were it held on Sunday. The Wainee Sunday School and the Lahainaluna boys were the chief performers and they did well. During the morning I gave an address on"The Sunday School—a Place for Worship and a Place for Bible Study." In the afternoon there was another meeting to discuss the question of the study of the Easter lesson in the schools. A concert was given in the Hale Aloha that evening and was attended by a large number. Sunday morning the services in the Wainee Church were most impressive and helpful. As already recorded in our last issue there were ten additions to the membership of the Church. Some splendid addresses were given in the afternoon in the Hale Aloha and a Christian Endeavor rally was held in the evening. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were devoted to the business sessions of the "Aha Makua," the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday Schools, together with addresses on vital topics of the day, sermon outline drill, prayermeetings, farewell reception and concert, etc. From every standpoint the Lahaina meeting was most successful and "progress" was the key-note. In the Sunday School Association a rule was passed which will prevent the imposition of any tax upon Sunday Schools at the time of the quarterly reviews, the money going into the pockets of the district superintendents. This practise has sometimes worked a hardship upon the Sunday Schools and its abolition is a step in the right direction. The Waikane Meeting. Returning to Honolulu April Ist, there was an interval of a week before the Oahu Association met at Waikane, Koolaupoko, on April 9th. The sessions of the "Aha Makua," the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday School Association were completed in two days. Most of the work was of �THE FRIEND 16 a routine character and only one reform was instituted, viz.: the denial of a request to assess each Sunday School one dollar for the benefit of the SundaySchool Association treasury. A satisfactory balance in the treasury was an unanswerable argument against the May, 1909 for our Japanese camp work, to know that thousands of these have been distributed, the people of the camps receiving them eagerly, and expressing their appreciation of the kindness of the givers.

If what strong suspicion, should forfeit any he was doing was a genuine delivery of wholesale license. liquors ordered from him, he ought nevertheless to lose his license the coming year. Or, if it was a fake delivery he should be retired summarily from the list of el'gibles. It is the law of Congress and the policy of the officer in command to permit no beer or liquors to be sold in camp. The War Department, and the Navy Department also, are doing their best to protect the camps, on the outside as well. Tnto that effort the Commission ought to go heartily and loyally. This country must have sober soldiers and sailors. Life in camp is monotonous and in a measure idle; the men are cut off from nearly all the influences that tend to make it easy for civih'ans to abstain. It ought to be axiomatic in the Commission that no countenance will be given, nor any mercy shown, to violators of the spirit of the law protecting soldiers and sailors from the most common and most dangerous temptation that besets them. Tf the Commission believes that antisaloon sentiment has progressed during the year, the number of licenses should be reduced accordingly, even without any charges being brought against the present holders. A reduction of 25 per cent, in Honolulu would seem not unreasonable. It is to be hoped that the Commissioners will rise superior to the "blind pig" bugaboo. Illicit dealing should be fought of course; it has been faithfully and efficiently fought in Oahu up to this time. But wherever there are licensed liquor houses, unlicensed sales will fllourish. There is abundant cvi- 17 Immediate attention should be paid to the character of liquors sold. There are some "blends" on sale in this market, one drink of which would fetch a war whoop from the steam dredge in the bay. Wholesale licensees ought to be made to conform to the federal pure food law, and in addition be forbidden to indulge in "blends" of any kind. The fact that a licensee has money invested in his place is a tender point with business men; but it ought to weigh absolutely nothing as against a good reason for withholding or cancelling the license. The investor in a license knows what he is buying—a permit, for one year. Let him look out for himself, as his customers and victims have to do. There is no call for squeamish tenderness in such matters. The business is bad, although we think we have to endure it yet awhile. But the liquor sellers have had ample warning, and they know the rules of the game. Let them play it man fashion, or quit. The good unofficial cit'zens must throw the weight of their influence on the side of law and order. There ought to be no land, or house, leasable for a drink shop, wholesale or retail, near a camp or a market. No good citizen ought carelessly to sign a liquor dealer-petition or go on his bond, or permit his representative to do so. Many tern perance men in Honolulu are parties to the liquor business today, because som" good-natured manager of their property has signed a license petition. Newspapers that stand for high ideals and clean politics, ought to decline to wholly intended, for publicity, to keep the young and the ignorant familiar with the subject, immune to new truth about it, and in the line of future exploitation. And finally, it would be a great help to a cause that needs assistance; and would pay big dividends on the investment of personal influence, if alcoholic beverages were to become conspicuous by (heir absence from the clubs where the most cultured and prosperous citizens are in control, and from the private hospitality of men of commanding position. The destruction of the weak comes not a little from -the poor creatures trying to immitate the strong. At the best there is a long hard fight ahead, and every man and woman that believes the beverage liquor traffic to be against the best interests of the people, ought to lend a hand, each in his own way, "according as God hath dealt to every one of us the measure of faith." Hawaii Cousins EXTRACTS FROM OLD LETTERS The Death of Kinau. Kinau, the governor of these Islands and the associate in power with the King, is dead. This has been a dreadful shock to this nation and to us all. She was the great friend of the mission and the prop as it were to the Islands. At the time when the King chose her as his associate there was great rejoicing among all who had any regard for the prosperity of the nation or the cause of missions. That was an eventful time. Every prohibition was taken off and the wicked man was left to let loose his passions with even the confidence of the King and his courtiers. The King bought barrels of rum and placed them in his yard and all who wished were encouraged to drink and some who were Church members commanded to do it. Of course, a great many fell but I was speaking of Kinau. �May, 1909.

She is taken away and we do not know who will fill her place. She has occupied the station I suppose seven or ei'tiit years. Her disease was the palsy. Saturday morning she was taken numb and lost the use of one side, the next day became sleepy, finally it settled on the brain and it became impossible to wake her and on Thursday noon she died. On its being known that she was dangerously ill, vessels were dispatched in every direction and brought the King and most of the chiefs here that they might see her die. The King arrived about an hour before she died. His appearance is said to have been very affecting. His whole frame seemed agitated. His countenance pale and full of anxiety. He entered the room cast a look at his sister then turning threw his arms around the neck of Hoapili-wahine, their mother. They both wept a long time, the doctor was obliged to stop them for fear it would be injurious to his health. After he did they seemed a little more calm and united with Mr. Bingham in singing* a hymn and prayer. Then they requested the missionaries to go home that they might be left alone. How dreadful to hear a nation wail. You can have no idea of it. Her husband and friends have sat by her bedside fasting ever since she was taken ill. They sometimes gave vent to their grief before she was senseless but she always disapproved and stopped them. Now there was no one to hinder, they gave full vent to their grief. This continued till sun down when the King began to feel unwell,— sent for Doctor Judd who found him highly excited, very nervous and feverish. This fever continued for a few days but he is now better. It is now a week since she died but she still lies in the house waiting for the arrival of the old Governor of Kauai to come when she will be buried or removed. She has left an infant daughter to whom she seemed to devote her only thought. The Trials of Clothing. January 24, 1840. People at home seem to think that missionaries live like the savages among whom they dwell but they have not correct ideas upon the subject. It is not the object of the missionary to teach himself barbarism,—on the contrary he should by example endeavor to teach the nation civilization, its el benefits, comforts and pleasures. Therefore missionaries consider it a uuty on this account as well as for the good of their families, their own health and the honor of their country to live in a decent, respectable manner. We have comfortable apartments which we endeavor to keep in order and cleanly so that whenever called upon by people of English or European countries we need not blush for ours or put our friends, our patrons or our country to blush for us. The same with regard to dress. Some oeople will send out old things for us to wear wdiich would not be fit to be worn by the Americans. For instance, by the last arrival there were sent to this mission from the rich city of Philadelphia, two boxes of Navariono bonnets; freight cost $15.00. Now we would much sooner wear such things in Philadelphia than in Honolulu. As to the natives they have been able to make themselves straw bonnets and they make very good ones. I presume they will not care to exchange for paper that will be spoiled by a week in a shower. Now those boxes will be a dead loss to the mission and more than all the donors doubtless feel that they have done a very generous action.

The unsavory record of the administration of its'trust by New York's Trinity Church helps to sustain the contention of those who believe that the funds given to endow Churches should be safeguarded by a large measure of popular control. Perhaps the best form of endowment is that prescribing the use of income for sustaining missionaries under the great missionary boards. Hawaii could not influence more vitally and permanently the cause of Christ's Kingdom throughout America than by the creation of a number of endowments connected with such Churches as Central Union. Hilo hirst, Makawao and the like, each bearing the name of some one of the historic missionary families of the Territory and each furnishing a missionary to tlie American Hoard. The sum of $25,000 would yield an income sufficient to maintain a missionary family.

In January we tore down part of the old church, repaired the rest and use it now as a schoolhouse. We then decided not to ring our large bell until the new beautiful church edifice should be completed. Our Sabbath morning services had been held beneath the trees, in the in terior of the island near the famous lagoon. The conch shell was used during those months to call the people to worship. It was grand to conduct services in the hush, but rather far from the mission. On Sabbath morning, March 28, it seemed as if the whole native population had turned out to rejoice with us in dedicating our House of Prayer. The Church newly painted and decorated for the occasion looked pretty, and our hearts began to beat fast when we saw the throng waiting for the doors to be opened. How anxious the people were to get in and how orderly they were! At half-past nine o'clock the first bell rang and the doors were opened.

It was useless to befin with, and it was open to the criticism of being the bluff of a parvenu among the powers. The fact that (he fleet could be spared for so long for swashbuckling, so far abroad, tended to show its lack of usefulness at home. It was good training for the crews, certainly, and the conduct of the men was highly creditable. Hut the performance, as a whole, was not good enough for a great democracy that has no enemies and aspires to be the leader of the nations. It was sheer folly as a stratagem in the interest of peace. One drunken brawl in the streets of Tokto. or one torpedo in Yokohama bay, fixed and fired by criminal desperadoes, would probably have plunged the world into a fearful war, for exactly nothing bearing any resemblance to an issue. "What a contrast there was between that performance and the tour of a quiet gentleman named F.lilui Root through South America, as Secretary of State and the guest of (he Latin republics!

WOOLLEY, LL. D. BACK TO CONGRESS. ( hie of the questions considered in the present annual meeting of the Hawaiian Hoard was: I low would Local Option work in Hawaii? The discussion was fti!!. intelligent and very earnest; and the decision unanimous, in favor of the complete suppression of the beverage liquor business, by any and all means within the reach of the Christian people. The definition of the word "local" presents difficulty in such an argument, just as local regulations bring discouragement, in the attempt to enforce them. The imaginary lines, that bound the governmental units, are invisible to the influences set in motion by broken law, and insensible to the differences in local public sentiment. The saloon in the "license" precinct produces idleness, poverty, insanity, vice and crime in the abutting prohibitory area and that, out of all proportion to the reciprocal good received. The principle of returning good for evil must be accepted, of course, but it bristles with disappointment, in application to local option. Fighting the liquor business with local option, with the voting precinct as the unit, gives heavy odds to the saloon, for very obvious reasons. The solidarity of the business is its most important elcrent of power, and a startling object lesson for its betters, in the grace and the profit of unselfishness. The liquor trafficis so organized as to resemble a trollcywire. It delivers power precisely at the point where the load is situated. The anti-liquor sentiment, under a local option system, is so dispersed that there is a great waste of power, and a most destructive electrolysis of discouragement in constant operation. The association of liquor dealers is keenly and vitally interested in every saloon, and prompt to give it aid, with almost no waste of energy or money. On the other hand the great body of antisaloon sentiment is not greatly stirred by the prospect of closing a single drink shop. Tf it be represented to a given conimunitv. that its six saloons can he reduced to five, the temperance clement responds but langourouslv. No great interest can be aroused short of, say, fifty tier cent, decrease. Public enthusiasm is impossible, unless the fight is to a finish —winner to take all. attitude of the convention to such oposals as looked to the reduction of BThe the number of saloons, was that of patient attention ; but every suggestion of a general battle to the death evoked applause. A law giving local option by precincts would increase the value of agitative work, and enrich the soil for public education ; but the saloon in one precinct would make tipplers and drunkards in another! Difficulties in enforcement would discourage the police authorities! Disappointment would dampen the ardor <if the people, and the precincts would see-saw back and forth from nrohihition to license, and vice versa. There would he a balance of good in the operation, but i' would he small. County option would be better, since the sea would cooperate, in a measure, with an island that had voted out saloons. Hut, though the lines are broad and deep, between our island counties, yet the evils of the drink can cross them easily as one can witness any day if he will watch the passengers and the freight at any local wharf. The territory, taken together, is hut small, with barely fourteen thousand voters, and orobably it will be better in case a plebiscite is ever taken on the license question, to have the entire Territory as the unit. The City of Honolulu alone could go far toward nullification of the local will of any island of the group that voted out the liquor business. Even so, it would be difficult to get a full and fair expression of the popular will, adverse to the saloon. If it could he taken in vacuo, the native vote of the whole Territory would show a good majority for prohibition. Hut it cannot be taken in that way. The secret ballot is a great advantage, to be sure; but all through the campaign—such a campaign —the voter would be subjected to terrific pressure, as to which the moment of independence in the polling booth would count perhaps for little. In such a campaign the liquor interest would not rest, nor desire rest; nor spare expense, or trouble of any kind: for the liquor interest is one and indivisible in devotion to the single purpose of selling drink. While the anti-liquor interest is devoted to many things and, as compared to the liquor business, quite unorganized and unorganizable. The native men at their strongest are. like white men. easily influenced and easily fooled. The liquor dealers are very active, liberal, shrewd, wiser in their gen- 13 eration than the children of light, in such ways to carry an election, as finer men cannot compete in. Busy, peace-loving men with varied interests are slow to wrath Under the present law, which gives a very far-reaching local option, nearly all the work that is done in entering protests to the issuance of licenses, or the renewal of them, is done by a very few men. This is not because the interest is small, or the public feeling shallow, hut simply because the better men dislike contending. The most hopeful way, under all the circumstances, is to conclude that we should be better off without any more option in the premises. The International agreement, in the interest of the island peoples, provided prohibition as the better rule. Hut the Hawaiians were not willing to be within it. The Federal government, in the enabling act by which the islands became a United States territory, preferred prohibition as the safer rule. Hut the Hawaiians thought that they knew better. The Territorial statute assumes and enforces the fact that the liquor traffic is a dangerous thing and suggests several ways by which the people may curtail it or destroy it. Hut the Hawaiians find it difficult to grapple with their neighbors in unfriendly effort. The local will is difficult of enforcement, in local courts and with local officers, when that will is adverse to the more aggressive citizens. Hut the local will, administered by Federal courts and Federal officers, is free from such weakness and such embarrassment. The logic of this drives us back to Congress for the relief we seek. A hill i* already pending which, if it passes, will deliver Hawaii from the beverage liquor traffic, and yet provide ample opportunity for the supply of necessary liquors for medicines, etc. It is the sense of the Hawaiian Hoard that we shall support that bill or some such bill. ( lur friends the enemy cannot complain of us for that. They have precisely etiual opportunity with us, in opposition. Such a measuring of our respective strength will he as fair as any trial could be. It will be a quiet contention of character, remote from all the squabbles and roorbacks and corruptions of an el-c-tion. The liquor trade may shrink from such a trial, but it is perfectly fair. The following resolution was adopted without dissent by the c.invention and will go forward to Congress with personal letters and personal interviews in support: "Resolved.

May 9, I visited the Kawaiahao Sunday School and noted progress in all the departments. The new system of study, adopted last fall has worked very successfully. I said a few words before the whole school when they all came together after the lesson. The regular morning service of the church was shortened to allow lime for the unveiling of a memorial stone in honor of the deceased members of the church whose graves ate unmarked. This stone was plavcd on one of the pillars at the entrance to the Kawaiahao Cemetery and after appropriate exercises had taken place, the stone was disclosed to view as the Hawaii m and American flags were raised and the audience sang "Hawaii Ponoi." I had received a most cordial invitation from the Rev. L. I). Keliipio and others to preach in the Waialua church once more, so plans were made to visit the Waialua district during that week. I had a delightful horseback- ride to "Mokuleia, just beyond the Waialua mill, where I became the guest of Vr. and Mrs. John P. F.rdman for a few days. ()n Sunday morning, May 16th, we visited the Japanese Sunday School in the mill cam)), and Rev. Mr. F.rdman taught the interesting and exceedingly active children the lesson, besides leading in the singing of the hymns. After this service was over, we continued to the Haleiwa Church. At the close of the Sunday School hour I gave a brief address on the subject of what some of our schools are doing in the line of improvement. When my talk was over, I preached at the morning service at the request of the pastor who translated my discourse into Hawaiian On Tuesday, the 18th. 1 rode over to the Boys' Industrial School at Waialce and became the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. 11. Gibson for a couple of days. The Governor and party of Territorial officials visited the school the next day and it was therefore an unusually interesting time to be at Waialee. After the lunch for the special party was over, the boys appeared in their khaki uniforms, preceded by the school band in white duck suits. As they marched past the Governor and his party, they saluted and the band played lively music. The Governor and Judge Whitney made brief addresses before the party inspected the various parts of the farm 15 THE FRIEND and the buildings. The good appearance of the boys was commented upon by the visitors from Honolulu. In the evening I said a few words to the boys on the subject of the growth of the body, mind and spirit. This institution it \\ aialee is one of the best schools in the whole Territory and Mr. Gibson has done a magnificent work in transforming the lives of the many boys who have come under his influence. It is unfortunate that the late Legislature did not make adequate provision for the actual needs of this most helpful and important school. It is with regret that we hear of the resignation of Mr. Gibson. We hope that the Territory may yet have his services as leader in the good work of making worthy citizens of the boys who are sent to Waialee from all parts of these islands. On returning to town in time for the services of Sunday, May 23rd, I found that that day was to be an unusually busy day. In the morning 1 went to the kauinakapili Church and taught a class of girls and then preached at the tegular morning service. In the afternoon I attended the services of the Pauoa Chapel. Besides speaking to the primary department and teaching a .lass of young men, I addressed the whole school and then preached a short sermon. An unusual feature of the Sunday School service was the "Hoike Ohana" or recitations by families and sometimes by groups of congenial friends. 'This scheme was tried it Pauoa to arouse interest and it has succeeded to a large measure in attracting young men who formerly stayed away from Sunday School. It might be tried in other places besides Pauoa. In the evening I preached at ihe Palama Settlement ami thus ended a full and happy day. K *m !** W V v t» t H t ** TEACHER TRAINING. By Rev. J. M. Lydgate, Lihue, Kauai. The grasp and retention of an historical event depends very largely on the sharpness Ot its conception; and sharpness of conception again depends very largely on localization. Fven a definitely pictured event, vignetted away into clouds, and floating about in mist soon gets lost. It stands alone, unrelated in any system, and holds its own in memory only with difficulty. ()f such a character is far too much of our Bible knowledge, a condition to which our more or less disconnected Sunday School lessons tend. Take for instance the Healing of the Nobleman's Son—we know the details, but when and where we do not know. And so this event, in common with a great many others, floats about Disconnectcd- lv and thus loses a large measure of its significance. And often times this physical and geographical knowledge -beds a great deal of light on the event, c. g., in this case, where we are informed that the Nobleman's Son was sick in Capernaum and that the father had come thence to see Jesus. Now the measure of his faith is the distance he has come, the difficulties of the way. etc. And the distance which he has conic, taken with the time, gives an idea of the urgcncev of his coming and the leisureliness of his return. All of which sheds interesting and valuable light on the character of the Nobleman and the quality of his faith. Having located these places on the map, with relation to one another and to the rest of the country, and gained an idea of the mountainous nature of the country and the quality of the roads and means of transportation, we are in a position to make a mental picture of the whole event, with the surrounding setting, which will give fresh significance and vividness—so that it will be much more likely to stick. Bat perhaps you say that is just what we are doing in the course of the ordinary Sunday School lessons, bringing cverv available bit of information to bear on each passage as it comes up. This is quite true, and 1 have no desire to make any criticism of the truly remarkable fund of information collected to illustrate the Sunday School lessons. And yet, in spite of the efforts, of the most intelligent leaders, there is danger of scrappiness. It is studying the bits of a dissected puzzle, most thoroughly and patiently, and mastering them, realizing that they go together, but knowing them apart. Now what I want to suggest is not any relaxation of this minute study but the addition, or the emphasis, of the broader study and this is particularly important and profitable for the teacher. Nothing appeals to the childish and youthful mind like graphic and vivid presentation. The Bible story of necessity is brief and condensed —to make it more graphic and vivid we must fill in the details; to do this we must know the country and be familiar with the life of the people. For instance study up the geography of Saul's defeat at Cilboa. Show, because of physical and geographical conditions, why the battle took place just where it did. Show where Saul was encamped on one side of the valley, and the Philistines on the other, and how the Philistines rushed Saul's army and drove them up—up, and over, down to ruin on the other �side. And if they arc ordinary boys— or girls either for that matter—you will hold them breathless. But you can't do that unless you yourself understand the situation and can put into the meagre description in San.uel the additional information which has come to you through a study of the country. Further more it gives the teacher a very valuable assurance, a sense of being at home. The whole Bible story is tied together topically. The New 'Testament is attached to the old. Kvery spot is holy ground because there or near there other events of interest took place. Wherever he lifts his eyes the landscape is more or less familiar to the intelligent teacher who is at home with the Historical Ceography of the Land: and he has a place in which to fit every event which can be localized. From mj own experience as well as that of thousands who were wise before me, I can assure you a fresh flood of light and interest on the whole Bible narrative, especially the Old Testament— with which we are less familiar—from the study of a simple course in Historical Geography. 'Trusting that some, especially Sunday School teachers, may be sufficiently interested to want to know what such a course looks like, I propose, first, to suggest some books which should be more or less available, if possible, and then, later outline such a course as may seem advisable. June, 1909, THE FRIEND 16 about nine months in harmony with the ordinary school year. The beginners' course is for children from three to five years. 'The aim of this course is to lead the little child to the Father by helping him: To know God, to know Jesus, to know about the heavenly home, to distinguish between right and wrong and to show love for Cod by working with Him and for others.

Sunday School leaders will be inter- ested in the new "Graded Lessons" pre- pared by the International Sunday School Association. The put pose of the system is to meet the spiritual needs of the pupil in each stage of his development. These needs are broadly : 1. To know God as He has revealed I limself to us in nature, in the heart of man and in Christ. 2. To exercise towards God, the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, trust, obedience and worship. 3. To know and do our duty to others. 4. To know and do our duty to ourselves. The material chosen for these lessons: The truths are presented in lessons from the Bible, and are illustrated by lessons from nature, from the history of missions and from the temperance and other humane movements, hiftv-two lessons are provided for each year and the courses are planned for This interesting picture shows the Christian Endeavorers of Pecs.

We have been much pleased recently receive tin- last annual report of the Director of Education in the Philippines. This is a most interesting and Stimulating statement with reference to the great and important work being there done in an educational way. which is of incalculable value to the inhabi lants of those islands, a great object lesson to the neighboring continent of Asia and constitutes one of the noblest contributions of the American people to the cause of Humanity. The field covered by the Department of Education is a wide and extensive one. " I he purpose of the Bureau of Education has been lo establish public schools of a standard type on every populated island and in everyone of the former Spanish pueblos'and as rapidly as possible in This plan all the important barrios. large degree. a realized to has been There is no municipality and, if we except certain islands in the Sulu Archito pelago, inhabited by Mohammedan Malays, there are practically no inhabited islands of the archipelago without schools. The northernmost school in the Philippine Islands is located on the Island of Batan, 135 miles north of Luzon and about an equal distance. south of Formosa. The most southerly school is at Siasi in the Sulu archipelago. The distance in latitude between these points is almost exactly 15 degrees, or over 1000 miles." This great school area is watched over by thirty-eight school superintendents, the field' being divided into thirtyfive school divsions. During the past school year the total enrollment in all lan v the schools has been 401.57°grades of instruction arc represented. We find here Kindergartens. Primary Schools, Grammar Schools, High Schools, Agricultural Schools. Domestic Science Schools, a School of Arts and Trades, a School of Medicine, a Normal School. There are between five and six thousand native teachers and well on to a thousand American. A recent writer in the Outlook in an article entitled "What Shall We Do with the Philippines? speaks most appreciatively of the school work being then done. He says, "One of the very best proofs of the sincerity of our declared purpose to fit the Filipinos for self-government is the energy with which we have pushed education, although the obstacles in the wav of success have been serious. Education must be the first step toward the I besolution of Oriental problems. lieve one of the most effective agene'es we can employ in our work in the . 17 Philippines is a thorough public school classed as out of commission, no matsystem administered by able, willing ter how fine an engineer may be sitting and sympathetic hands." in her cab.

The delegates and ministers of the Island Churches met with Central Union Church from May 29 to June 1 in the eighty-seventh annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. For the first time the anniversary was held with a non-native church. The new plan of printing and circulating beforehand the papers to be discussed was tried and unanimously approved by vote. The Association put itself on record as endorsing the National Council's proposed changes in polity so far as they are changes for Hawaii, leaving definite action to await the final decisions of the Council of 1910. No. 7 A Training School for Ministers was favored and the question of how to inaugurate such an undertaking was referred to the Hawaiian Board. The Association also petitioned the Territorial Board of Health to establish a dispensary in North and South Kona, and to provide a district nurse there. The next meeting was fixed at Kailua where the ooth anniversary of the landing of the first missionaries will be commemorated by the placing of a suitable memorial A committee on evangelism stone. was appointed and the Hawaiian Board was requested to take steps to secure titles to all the Church lands now without them. The discussions of the papers were lively and marked a distinct advance upon former years. The Association voted its thanks to Secretary (Meson, Governor Frear, Attorney (ieneral ilemenway and Superintendent of Public Instruction Babbitt for their notable and public-spirited work in securing the passage of a law to grant quit claim deeds to all the historic church lands in the Territory. This deed of justice has been made possible by years of patient investigation and effort on behalf of the Board and the Territorial authorities. Mr. (Meson is to be heartily congratulated that the consummation came during his administration of the Secretaryship. j» j» Jt J» *j» * The Strike. Signs of the end of this long disturbance of local industrial conditions are appearing. Meantime certain conclusions are inevitable. One of these is that the ordinary Japanese laborer is not responsible for the trouble. America has rarely witnessed so tranquil a labor conflict. The Japanese workman is essentially a lover of peace and his behavior thruout this struggle has been beyond praiae. Whatever lawlessness—and it has been practically nil—has occurred has not been chargeable to the rank and file of the laborers. This Territory will never have a better behaved company of workingmen. To lose these kindly, gentle, industrious toilers would be a calamity. The laborer not only did not cause the strike, but he did not want H. If he had had the protection from the authorities that he was entitled to, it would never have occurred. This does not mean pro- �THE FRIEND 4 tection during the inception and progress of the conflict but thru years past. The manner in which the Territory has allowed Japan*** workmen to be fleeced by the gambling fraternity of their own race has been scandalous. Everybody who knows anything about the sugar plantations knows that about pay day the gamblers descend upon tlie camp and begin their nefarious work. In many a camp-house laborers have been terrorized into gaming. A system of bulldozing thus was organized so that when the strike was ordered from Honolulu, the machinery of terror was complete. The men had to stop. The remedy is plain. Get rid of the gamblers. The way to do this was pointed out years ago by Japanese in Japan familiar with conditions here, but the hint, tho communicated to our authorities, was never acted upon. It was suggested that a few Japanese detectives familiar with the criminal class of the Empire be engaged by the Honolulu authorities to scrutinize their immigrating countrymen. Criminals could l>c spotted at once and by the laws of the United States would be deported. If this course had been pursued, Hawaii would have been spared most of its trouble today. A second suggestion was that Japanese detectives be engaged by the plantations to work up evidence against the gambling fraternity and so hunt them out by making Hawaii too hot for them. Almost all the ills suffered by the Japanese laborers in this Territory are due to this lawless element that terrorizes the simple hearted, honest peasants among them. If a determined effort were made to get the evildoers out of the Islands it would be the greatest blessing to the entire community. of the Mid-I'acific Institute he will undoubtedly be of great assistance in his new position, and irom this standpoint his return to China seems providential. Mr. Thwing takes to language acquisition with ease and speaks both Chinese and Japanese, having learned to use the latter lor every day purposes during his sojourns in Hawaii. He will find this accomplishment of great advantage to him now that the Japanese in China are so numerous. During the past year .Mr. Thwing has been gaming experience in reform work. Altlio we have not been able to approve of the method of procedure he followed, his cause was a good one and should have succeeded, i lis persistence, courage, unselfishness and devotion to the highest interests of the community in this crusade were unquestioned. One of the asides of this campaign is well worthy of mention. The writer of an article in the Honolulu press attacking him during his pursuit of Breckons contemptuously asked why Mr. Thwing did not attend to the special work which is supposed to be the care of clergymen, such for instance as the relief of orphans and the like. As a matter of fact at the very time this inquiry was put forth Mr. and Mrs. Thwing were with great generosity and unwearied self-denial taking care of no letl than nine little orphaned Chinese children in their own home. It was characteristic of him to make no reply to this personal attack. Thru all those unpleasant days not a sign of anger or of personal complaint escaped him. All that he did was for the benefit of the Asiatic community here and some day his faithfulness tq duty will be fully honored in this city.

Five have been added by letter and three on the reaffirmation of tin it faith. The new members arc prominent in the business and social life of Wailuku and bring much strength into our Church. A committee acting under the Board of Trustees gave the people of Maui a rare treat by securing Mr. R. K. Bonine, the maker and exhibitor of famous Hawaiian pictures, for two evenings and an afternoon for children. Many people from all over Maui greatly enjoyed the exhibition, while the proceeds equipped the Church with an acetylene lighting plant. The most successful social event in Wailuku for many months was the German Market given at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage. Several German peasant costumes were in evidence and the house was beautifu'hdecorated with Easter lilies, bamboo, hybiscus. bunting and large German eagles. Nearly one hundred people bought real German food at the lone counter. Some even recalled their German from school days, and those born in the Vaterland felt much at h mie. This was the first supper the ladies of the Church had undertaken. Everyone had such a good time, the experiment may be repeated. The Kaahumanu Church is taking on new life. The work of Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa is proving that many nonChurch going Hawaiians can be reached by earnest pastoral calling and faithful ministrations in regular services. Mr. Dodge preaches for Mr. Kaumeheiwa every other Sunday at Wailuku, and the alternate Sunday at Waikapu. In the evening by Mr. Waltrip's friendly arrangement, Mr. Kaumeheiwa preaches to thirty or forty people in the Kahulut Church. Thus he ministers to a large �5 THE FRIEND, July, 1009. LEPER building.

The author's life-long study of the Turkish Empire, and his exceptional opportunities for first-hand and inside information in regard to the actual situation there enable him to give a most interesting and perspicuous account of the causes leading up to the recent upheavals in the Turkish gov- ernment. Nowhere have we seen so graphic a description of the character and wiles of the late Sultan in his unspeakable despotism, whereby he has held at bay the forces, external and internal, which endangered his supremacy, and fortified himself against his own subjects by his successful appeal to the wider Mohammedan world. The social, moral and religious conditions of the empire are clearly portrayed. The last half of the book gives a thorough insight into the problems of Turkey's regeneration, the difhcultle» in the way, and the far-sighted, persistent and heroic character of the miss*onary operations which have been carried on in that land. $1.50 net.

At the time this article is written, the license commissioners of the several islands are busy, checking up the tickctof-leavc "merchants," for another year of suspended sentence. There has not been, of course, in any quarter, any expectation of radical betterment of the saloon situation in the islands at this time. But those who read the high-class papers and magazines, have entertained a hope that some signs of the new era, now at full daybreak on the mainland, might show, however faintly, in the deliberations of the new commissions. That hope turns out to have been not wholly delusive, and that the signs are faint is not discouraging; for while Hawaii is a conservative community, almost to the point of being reactionary, and is situated on the extreme periphery of the Union, it is not un intelligent, nor deaf to the vo; ces of the new politics; and, in the long run, is sure to answer back, in kind, the cheers of human brotherhood from beyond the sea. A study of the personnel of the opening session, in Oahu, presented unusual elements of interest, in view of subsequent proceedings. The commission— so much of it as might be supposed to carry any menace to the evil business that was due, snake-like, to shed its skin and beg for a new covering—was composed of young men in whose hearing, good breeding, liberal culture, and clean living were not more visible, than inexperience in tackling the seasoned and aggressive exploiters of the men and the families that lose. The captains of dissipation were out in force, each, openly or covertly. with his string of saloons, and each wearing the cock-sure expression of the cat that has eaten the canary. The situation certainly did look good to them. And their eyes did not greatly deceive them. The stuff was there, in the men behind the tables; and the law was there; to wipe their wretched occupation off the map of lawful industries, without the quiver of an eyelid, if that uncomplicated question had been up. But the question was not, nor was anything that was up. uncomplicated. The commissioners did not quite understand the law, the quest-on, or themselves. The law had made them, in their organized capacity, the public discretion. They understood that they had only been appointed official guessers at the public sentiment, i.e., the quor sentiment would ratify. So, insftitd of going straight into their own brain* and hearts and knowledge, and siiH Shat asking what would best subserve the safety, happiness, and prosperity of the people, they played ducks and drakes with guesses and surmises. The question was, what number of drink-shops were needed for the wellbeing of the community, and where the permitted ones would better be located ? They only asked themselves what number, how disposed would satisfy the unruly and undesirable part of the community. They were set to do the right thing. They set about finding what would be the easy thing. They got as little grasp on themselves as they did on the law and the question. Nothing imaginable would have induced either of them to keep a saloon, or operate a distillery, or a brewery. But, on the other hand, neither of them could face the thought of being called ''reformer." "agitator." or "missionary," at the club—itself a liquor seller. The whole position, on their side, was saturated with confusion. They found themselves in a sort of moral tide-rip, that suggested rocks and life-preservers, and so, they played safety, and proceeded by the old chart of the license system, pure and simple, and let the twentieth century prohibitory features of their opportunity and duty go overboard. They knew, d'rnly, the basic moral implication of the combination; but they did not quite see where it might carry them. They knew all about the ethics of investment, and, not unnaturally, stuck to what they knew. So. this was the kind of arguments that went: not all of them actually presented, but all understood, and considered, and effective, "I have found a location, in a theater, where more people will be available for exploitation. I desire leave to move." "I have an unexpired lease for a year. Tf you refuse to license a saloon, to take it off my hands, you will cause me to lose money." "If you refuse me a renewal for having violated the law, a Chinaman will pet a monopoly." "Mv stock and fixtures are worth nine thousand dollars." "My corner is disorderly, but my business supports three families; the trouble is caused by a Japanese billiard room." One applicant was vouched for, in these words "The trouble with our neighborhood is not liquor. I wish to pod we had more saloons and fewer churches." The argument that a better location meant more sales and more harm; that an orderly saloon, in a residential dis- July, 1909. trkt occupied by the poor, did not signify peace and order in the homes; that the more prosperous the residential saloon is, the poorer the community is, that wholesale dealers, with strings of tied saloons, were the most dangerous of liquor sellers! None of these things cut any figure. The chief anxiety of the commission was, to be fair, or better, to the men of prey. The men, women and children preyed upon could not present their side in terms of investment, and of course they lost. On the investment basis, the liquor dealers had every advantage. On that level, they have no equals in the world of experts. Other business men have a variety of interests—religion, sport, society. The liquor dealer is absolutely focussed on his one ewe-wolf, selling drink. It is not only his business; it is his sport, his rest, his politics, his meditation. No fishhawk knows its case better, nor drives more accurately to the main chance. Things went so smoothly for the licensees, when the protests were "only on principle," that their spirits soared for a hard fall. There was no reform tendency visible in the commission, but. when that subject was reached, there turned out to be a clear and serious purpose as to violations of law—better than reform, without such a purpose. It was well known that one of the licensed restaurants was a Sunday saloon, in fact, and a chronic lawbreaker. The commission promptly decided to take away its Sunday, and afterhours privilege. The investment argument was, that, without that privilege, the business would not survive, and that, in that case, the widow of a deceased liquor dealer would lose the rental income. It fell flat. Then the g; n generals played the bluff of demanding that innocent restaurants be included in the order, and were promptly "called." The commission had arrived at the age of "discretion," in an hour's time, and all restaurants lost the privilege of selling drinks on Sunday and after-hours. Hotels too. At this writing it is too early to record the exact gain. But there is progress. Niihau is without a drink shop; so is Lanai, and also Molokai. Maui wipes out one liquor house, and closes the hotel bar on Sunday. Oahu will diminish the drink shops ten per cent, or more. Meanwhile, the anxious look has returned to the faces of the alcoholic admirals, and they are ready to promise anything that a gracious commission sees fit to impose, in the way of regulations. The liquor situation here, as on the mainland, is paved with good intentions �THE FRIEND July. 1909 7 would like to have some of our young mathematicians try their hand at a numerical puzzle..

The ceremonies were observed in accordance with the Shinto rites, this beine- the national ceremonial cult, and were most solemn and impressive. The spirits of the heroic dead were addressed as though present to hear the words of gratitude, reverence and prayer. After various ascriptions and prayers had been intoned by the priests, the white coverings were removed from the offerings, disclosing to view large rice cakes, two pyramids of pink and white confections, a large fish, and several pyramids of golden fruits, while in the centre were two living ducks that kept their heads pointing upwards and their bills in constant action, but never breaking the silence with a sound. These offerings, displayed in the midst of green branches and floral decorations made a pleasing picture. Following the priestly ceremonial, others, representing the people, advanced toward the monument, paused, and with respectful gesture, offered their expressions of reverence. First in order came Consul Uyeno, and following, in turn, the War Veterans, the Red Cross Society, the Aikoku Fujin Kwai, i.e., Woman's Love of Country Society, and the Shokonsai Committee. The exercises were concluded with a war song rendered by the pupils of the six Japanese schools of the city. In the grounds of the Xuuanu street Japanese School there stands a monoT lith which appeals strongly to the spirit of reverence in the mind of every Japanese man, woman and child that beholds it. On the face of the stone are chiseled three idiographs, Kyo Chu Hi —loyalty revealing memorial—which were penned by the hand of Admiral Togo for this monument, and were enlarged by photograph, and reproduced in the Admiral's own chirography on this stone. This monument was erected in honor of the hrave men who, in war, have laid down their lives on the altar of their Fatherland, and the ceremonies which were observed before it on the 27th day of June may be compared to the ceremonies of our Decoration" Day. In Japanese the day is known as Shokonsai. The battle of the sea of Japan took place on the 9th of May, and that is the day 011 which these exercises would naturally have fallen, but the ceremony was postponed until the arrival of the Japanese squadron, in hopes that the officers and men would be able to join in the celebration. That Admiral Ijichi did not see his wav clear to fall in with these plans was a keen disappointment to many, but others believed his action to THE WITCHERY OF NUMBERS. be a delicate expression of courtesy to the people of these islands in view of Now. that school days are over, we u» tM k* mM tM mM We invite our young people tc try filling out a diagram of 49 squares with the figures from 1-49, inclusive.

Christian comity aims at the cordial and considerate cooperation and fellowship of all bodies of believers while yet retaining each its own separate organism. There are innumerable difficulties in the way of Christian unity, largely due to the individualism of organizations of believers in matters of polity, of doctrine, of historic continuity, of inherited prejudice, and of denominational pride. No body of Christian believers in these retpectl is blameless. Many Churches are prepared to make some concessions in order to promote organic unity with all other Churches; but no Church is as yet prepared to make the necessary and essential concessions, much less all of the Hence the discussion of Churches. Church unity, while promotive of the end sought, must for a long time yet be largeIj academic. When every organization of Christian believers reaches in its polity and belief the simplicity of the primitive Church, then Christian unity will become a realized fact. Until then the foremost duty of every Christian Church and organization is to practice Christian comity. That aims at the cordial and considerate cooperation of all Christian Ixxlies while yet retaining each its own separate organism. Christian comity forbids controversy and unbrotherly criticism. It promotes fraternalism and sympathy. It means the practice Of the mind of Christ on the part of every Christian, and of every Christian Church, toward every other Christian, and every other Christian Church. We believe that a sincere adherence to this spirit will immeasurably promote the cause of Christ in Hawaii, and will contribute more certainly than anything else to the compassing of the great wish and prayer of the Master, that his disciples may all be one. -All men were lovers of Phillips Brooks.

CHILDREN'S DAY. The other event in which the children of the church were given recognition was the annual children's day service. Sunday. June 13. Besides the usual participation of the various departments of the Sunday school, there was the graduation of the first minister's class, six boys and girls who had completed the course of studies assigned by the minister, and the recognition on the part of the church of all the children who had been baptized when children and. who, this year are seven years old. It was a pretty sight to see twenty-eight of these previous charges of the church lined up on the platform where they each received a Bible from the minister and a word of recognition from him. In this way they are reminded of their connection with the church and of the church's interest in them. One could not help but be impressed anew with the importance of these various lines of work among the children, and the suggestion naturally arose that there is still one other feature that should receive attention and that is the organization of some club or society among the boys, to hold their interest after they begin to drop out of Sunday school. Some organization that will help them to grow into clean, pure manhood. A. A. E. ORDINATION OF REV. TAKIE OKUMURA. The ordination of Mr. Okumura, who had been in evangelistic work for bis countrymen for nearly fifteen years, was conditionally approved by the Oahu Island Association, at their meeting held in Waikane in April, at which a committee was appointed to examine the candidate, and if satisfactory to arrange for the service of ordination. 9 This most interesting exercise of ( >r sionary effort.

The most striking examples of the power of Jesus Christ to save men from deep degrading sin that have come under my personal observation are furnished by the work of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. During the last few clays of May it was my privilege to attend the great convention of Railroad Y. M. C. A. members at St. Ixmis, Mo. Over 1300 men were in attendance at this convention, many of them officials but most of them conductors, engineers, switchmen and other employees. If I needed anything to stiffen my faith in the power of the gospel. I got it. Never in any gathering have I seen sc many men who had been changed from wild drunken railroad men into fine, Christian, faithful employees, testifying to what Jesus had done for them. It was tremendously inspiring, and worth going a long way to experience. There was Conductor jim Burwick. Engineer Tom Kennan, Switchman Lawhead. This last man proved the reality of his conversion by getting to work on Bible study, and he has now enrolled over 400 men in a correspondence scheme of studying the Bible. His own scheme, by the way. Many others there were to whom Jesus has meant everything, and a loyal body of Christians they are. No Wonder. After having seen what the Association has done for these men it is small wonder that an official of the Pennsylvania road says that the Y. M. C. A. is the greatest invention since the Westinghouse air brake, considered simply as a safety appliance. At a great banquet held in the armory, a number of prominent officials spoke. Let me repeat the testimony of a few. Mr. Freeman, receiver for the I. & G. N., said of the Y. M. C. A.: "A necessary and economical investment, an investment paying ten fold." It is on this basis that most of the leading railroads put thousands of dollars into Y. M. C. A. work every year. President Brown of the New York Central told us that his road had put $700,000 into Y. M. C. A. buildings, and added: "No investment can ever pay as large returns." President Stevens of the ChesaA. peake and Ohio said they had Y. buildings at every division point, had spent $300,000 on them, and gave $10,-000.00 annually to carry on the work. Col. John J. McCook told how the Federal courts had ruled that contributions toward the work of the Y. M. C. A. are a legitimate item in the disbursements of a railroad receiver's accounts. But not the least event of the conference was the conversion in a service led by one of the secretaries of Mr. Gary, vice-president of one of the leading roads running into St. Louis. These Two Things. The convention inmressed me, then, in these two points: First, the great power of the gospel of our Lord to make wicked men good men, and second, the remarkable favor in which the Y. M. C. A. is held by railroad corporations. This feature of the workhad done great things, and made a most significant contribution toward the furthering of the interests of the Kingdom in the world of industry. The Omaii v Conference. From the convention of volunteer workers in St. Louis, we went to the conference of employed officers at ()maha. where 447 of us spent five and a half days discussing the work of promoting the Association along several new lines, or new features of old lines. Four commissions appointed a year ago reported, one on work for high school boys, one on work for immigrants, one on cooperation with the Church and Church clubs, and one on work for country men and boys, both in the country and as they come to the city. I have personally given some time to the matter of our new building, and will give a good deal more time to that work later. Dr. Bosworth was at the conference, and others who knew Honolulu people. Many inquired about Mr. Coleman, formerly of our Association. We had secretaries from India, Mexico, South America, China and Japan, but these were in the States on other business, and none had traveled so far for the purpose of the conference as the replesentative from Honolulu. Student Conference. The next thing on my program is a conference of western college men at Cascade, Colorado. From there to Dallas, Houston, El Paso, Texas, to study southern Y. If. C. A. buildings, and then to Los Angeles and Stockton, Cal., for the same purpose. After this we will confer with several architects in San Francisco, and then Hawaii nei, to try to put into operation the things learned on this trip, which is being of so great value to me. Paul Super. Erdman A Plan. It is a fact well known to all the members of the Hawaiian Board that only two young men are at present in training for the Gospel Ministry. Another fact not so well known is that there are at least a dozen Churches in the islands that are pastorless. To supply these Churches a half dozen men more or less advanced in age have been within the past two years ordained. These men, earnest and devoted though they be, have had practically no training for the important work to which they have been appointed. Even in numbers they are not sufficient to meet the needs. Another fact should be kept in mind, namely, many of our present pastors have spent freely their strength and energy in long service of the Church and are now aged and enfeebled. Soon they must lay aside the responsibilities they have faithfully borne: Who will take their places? To meet the pressing present need and the imminent future need, as yet, HO systematic plan has been adopted. The present arrangement by which a few of the better qualified young men arc being trained in the States is a slow and very expensive process, which cannot be sufficiently developed to satisfy all the requirements. The time is past due when some other provision must be made to supply the needed ministers. The suggested plan is simply this: to establish a Bible School where mental and spiritual instruction will be combined with practical training in the preparation of young men for the Gospel Ministry. There is nothing startling or original in the scheme, for similar methods are followed elsewhere and in fact have been used here in days gone by. The aim, however, would be to infuse the standard methods with an up-to-date and lively spirit which would make them more effective. Students. In the first place students should have certain qualifications for entrance. The day has passed when a pastor can fill his position without a knowledge of the English language. Every succeeding year will demand increasing use of English in our Churches so that the coming pastor must be able to speak the language in order to do efficient work. Hence a qualification for students should be, ability to read books �11 THE FRIEND July, 1909. students would be a wonderin English and to speak the language secrated and help to all our inspiration ful more or less correctly. Churches. in itself aid imposwill test of This During the three summer months ing a second qualification, namely, that students would be of great serto a these wise set not be of age. It may fixed limit for the age of entering students, but it is doubtful whether a man above thirty years of age would be qualified to do the work in the school and receive the benefit which he ought. Of course, there are exceptions therefore no fixed limit should be made. The aim should be, however, to admit only young men who would more readily absorb progressive methods. The other usual and necessary qualifications, such as uprightness of character, rectitude of conduct, spirituality, and determination to make the Ministry one's life work, of course, should be required. Studies. The course might cover say two years of nine months each; recitations for 5 being from 9 to 12 each morning hours days of the week, making thus 15 per week. Two hours in the afternoon, say from 1 to 3 o'clock, should be given to study in preparation for the following day. The curriculum should include at least the following subjects: Bible Study, Church History, Biblical DocHomiletics, including sermonizpastoral duties, and S. S. Norand ing mal Study. The fifteen hours each week might be divided among these subjects, say, as follows: Bible Study, 5 hours; Church History, 3; Biblical Doctrine, a; Homiletics, 3; S. S. Normal, 2. Experimental Training. At least three evenings each week should be spent in conducting meetings in the various missions and apana chapels in and about the city, the students going out two by two to carry on these meetings under the supervision of teachers, thus acquiring facility and ease in speaking, learning the best methods of leadership, and developing in themselves a lively desire to save men. In connection with these meetings there would be, of course, house to house visitation, giving training in another practical line. On Sundays the students would have practice in teaching Sunday School classes in the various Churches and where qualified might be sent out to supply some pastorless flock. The blessing which would result from the work of such a band of con- eventually prove a necessary part of the Board's work. There would certainly be a good return on the comparatively small amount put into such an experiment, vice, working under the direction of and yet it would be possible to give up the Board's Agents or of the pastors of the trial later on without feeling that any funds of the Board had been used the larger Churches of the islands. Such a schedule of study and work unwisely. would well fill the student's time and not allow any distracting outside work. THE MEDIATOR. Physical Features. The location of the school should be in Honolulu, and for a beginning the Miller street property, opposite the Portuguese Church, might be inexpensively repaired and refitted for such a school. Living rooms could be partitioned off to accommodate 5 or 6 students with ample space still left for recitation rooms. The expenses incurred for food for the students would not average more than ten dollars ($10.00) a month pel student—suppose 5 students, fifty dollars per month. For a housekeeper, probably the wife of one of the students could fill this position, say, $15.00 per month; extras $10.00 per month making a total expense of $75.00 per month, or for a school year $675.00 ; for two years' course $1350.00. I do not know the exact cost of sending a student to Hartford for 2 years' course, but should estimate that it could not be done for less than $1000. Now with the expenditure of verylittle more, after two years we have five (5) well equipped pastors instead of one (1), and in addition have received meantime the benefit of the large amount of service they render while students. The comparative advantages of the two investments are clear, and all point toward the wisdom of setting up a local school. This school, of course, would be open to all nationalities and it is well to bear in mind that among the best Chinese and Japanese workers of the Board to day are the young men who have grown up in the islands, receiving education in our boarding schools. As to the teaching force, it would seem possible to divide the work among a number of the Board's workers living on Oahu so that no new expense need be incurred in this line. One might be appointed to have charge, and to be with other teachers a faculty for perfecting and administering the affairs of the school. Beginning thus in a small way without a great outlay of money, the experiment could be tried and might ; "Within the Four Seas all are Brothers" The Sons of the Orient say ; And the Occident fervently niters Its longing for brotherhood's sway So God brings our brothers beside us From the uttermost parts of the earth, Where four seas enclose, not divide us, While he opens our eyes to their worth.

Mills Institute, the Japanese Boarding School, the Korean Mission School, addresses from the Principals of these different institutions, and many other features, proved of much interest to the friends of many different nationalities who gathered to show their interest in and sympathy with the work to be here carried forward. Especially would we refer to the beautiful "welcome" given by Rev. Mr. Nakuina, on behalf of the Hawaiian people, to this educational work. In a most touching and sympathetic spirit he referred to the kindly "aloha" of his people, which the many and varied races here gathered have had abundant reason to remember. It was a joy and inspiration to have with us Rev. Dr. Sheffield. President of Tung Clio College, near Peking, North China, who, for forty years has been engaged in educational work in China. His helpful and sympathetic address was much appreciated and his words of encouragement will ever be a stimulus to go forward with the work of the MidPacific Institute, trusting that it may be a help not only to Hawaii but to the Orient and all the world. The visitors on this occasion were delighted and surprised to sec the advance already made with the work. Already the walls are rising Up into the second story and the splendid proportions of this noble building with frontage of more than two hundred feet, are coming grandly into view. Against the dark background of our picturesque island stone the brilliant flags of many nations shone out in fine contrast, waving a welcome to the youth of all races to find here a home and Christian training. Tn splendid elided characters thequotation from the Sage of the Far East, Confucius,"With■n the four seas all men are brothers," arranged along the front of the growing building seemed to voice the feeling of the day and the spirit of the work, here to be done. A magnificent view is to be obtained from the building. The beautiful valley of Manoa may be seen in all its varied loveliness while a glorious stretch of ocean and coast line, with the full profile of Diamond Head, seem spread out almost at the observer's feet. It is a goodly point on which to rear a noble school and such we trust will prove to be the future of the one now here rising. Some monthswill vetclapse before the building will be completed but by another school year we trust it will be the home of many earnest and ambitious students. The friends of this work will be pleased to know that a loyal and generous supporter of our school who has already done so much for its advancement has just donated a �further splendid gift of land to the institution, which gives now to the school the full ownership of the noble natural terrace upon which it stands.

Hall, the new home of Kawaiahao Sem- inary, the graduating exercises of the class of '09 held there on Wednesday afternoon, June 5, marked the first real Seminary function to be celebrated there. It was, too, the first time in which the beautiful Assembly Hall has been used in a formal way. This is one of the most carefully planned and suitable school halls in the Territory. On this particular day it was most appropropriatelv decorated and the drooping graceful ferns of Manoa, with groupings of palm fronds, made a lovely setting for the nearly one hundred girls of many nationalities in their white dresses who occupied the seats in the center of the hall. The "Processional" with which the program opened, was strikingly effective and as the senior class entered through the opening ranks of their school-companions and advanced along the way guarded by garlands of white and green, one could not but hope that it might be prophetic of a happy journey through life awaiting them. Nine girls graduated from the eighth grade and received appropriate certificates. ()f these a number are to return to the more advanced work which the Seminary is to offer in the coming year. A number of pleasing songs and choruses were sung showing careful and thorough training. The essays read were extremely interesting and delivered with excellent enunciation. The subjects were well chosen, such as the writers could well grasp from their own knowledge and experience. Miss Bosher and her Faculty are to be most warmly congratulated upon tin- successful dose-of this first year of the life of Kawaiahao Seminary in its new home.

Principal Merrill and his Faculty this year to vary the closing of Mills Institute by having their students give a number of scenes from the noble play of "William Tell" by Schiller. It proved to be a notable and splendidly satisfactory performance and reflected great credit upon all who trained the performers and those who look part. 'I he students seemed to enter with unusual spirit and enthusiasm into the lite of the play. It was the voice ot the great human heart crying out eloquently for liberty and freedom from the oppressor's yoke. 1 hough before you were Chinese, Japanese and Korean boys, speaking in English, a translation of the noble and immortal lines of a German poet, in a setting of the tropics rather than of the Alps, yet there seemed to be nothing incongruous and unfitting. Perhaps the growing sense of the glory and beauty of human liberty as it is beginning to dawn on these lads from the Orient gave a color and earnestness to their performance, which you felt came from the heart. The noble and spreading trees in the Institute grounds made a beautiful background on the great and touching play. The costumes and different scenes were most skilfully arranged. Those who were privileged to be present will not soon forget the play of the fine lipht, the dusky shadows out of which emerged the forms of friend and foe, the earnest and hearty spirit of the voting actors. It was indeed a fine ending to a school year which has been one of the best and most successful in the history of this institution. decided �THE FRIEND 14 July, 1909 Daily Bible Readings.—Aug. 9, Monday, Acts 18:23-19:22—"The way of God."

After the schools had done their parts, there were short addresses from Hon. J. W. Moanauli of Hamakua, Hawaii; Mr. Peter N. Kahokuoluna, of Paia, Maui; Mr. J. H. S. Kaleo, of Honolulu, and Hon. W. H. Rice, of Lihue, Kauai, the president of the Association. At the conclusion of the addresses, the meeting was dismissed and the great majority of the audience went up to the Mid-Pacific Institute in Manoa Valley in cars that had been generously provided by Mr. Rice. A bountiful luau had been arranged by the committee, consisting of Messrs. Archer, Kanakanui and Nahalau, and the hungry multitude found a delightful assortment of Hawaiian dishes, well cooked. Capt. Berger's band played for the people for a while after the luau, and then the crowd adjourned, a part at least, to the new building of the Mid-Pacific that is to be called "Mill's School." The laying of a memorial stone was a very interesting and happy occasion and called forth expressions of appreciation and good wishes from representatives of several nations. Sunday morning there was nothing on the program for the especial benefit of the Sunday School Association, and in consequence many of the delegates were able to visit the city schools and see how they are conducted. In the afternoon a song service at Thomas Square called out a large number who were not afraid of the showers that were coming down from Manoa and Punchbowl. The Hawaiian band had offered their services for the occasion and they were accepted. After a few selections from the band, the various delegates grouped themselves according to islands, and songs were sung by these groups. The town people that were present seemed to be impressed by the interest that was shown by the delegates from the other islands and also by their knowledge of the Hawaiian hymns, so that they were able to sing without using any books. At Kawaiahao Church that evening there was a meeting in the interests of the Sunday Schools and addresses were made by Rev. Amos A. Ebersole, Mrs". May Wilcox and Rev. Edward B. Turner of Paia, Maui. Mr. Ebersole's theme was, "The Adult Bible Class." Mrs. Wilcox told of the organization of the Kawaiahao Sunday School and the advantages of the system of study used there, and Mr. Turner spoke on "Teacher Training." These addresses were admirable and it is unfortunate that a larger audience did not avail themselves of the opportunity to receive ideas on the Sunday School that �16 were helpful and of real value to all workers among the young people. Monday was the day upon which a large part of the business, aside from the reading of reports, was transacted, and the docket was cleared up before the afternoon was over. The Association adjourned to meet again at Kailua, North Kona, in the latter part of May, 1910. July1, 909. THE FRIEND. An account of this tour will be given and the C.

Gradually, every year of the up-to-date graded Bible School is being supplied with worthy text books. It will not be long before the reproach of old time Sunday School methods will have been removed.

Mr. Alexander has the happy faculty of telling a story well and he knows how to vary his narrative with incidents that throw a flood of light upon native customs and upon the progress of the people from barbarism to Christian civilization. The story of the intercourse of the white race with the Polynesian abounds in lights and shades. The author is especially skilful in his selection of the abundant materials at his disposal so as to bring out most strikingly these contrasts of good and evil influence. Tho called a second edition there are so many changes and additions that it might almost be termed a new work. We miss an index, a very serious omission in a book of this character. We know of no other publication than this covering exactly what every intelligent person wants to know and ought to know about the Pacific Islands. It deserves the widest circulation. • The Islands of the Pacific by James M. Alexander.

It was in this way that an en- graving of Lahainaluna Seminary in the early thirties was found. A little pocket diary, also, from November, 1827, to March, 1828, written on the "Parthean" when coming around The Horn, was found. The pencil marks are almost illegible, but what can be deciphered is very interesting. A picture of the Waialua Church, painted on a koa board by one of the teachers in Waialua Seminary has also been resurrected. News has been received of the death of Mrs. Caroline (Rogers) Deming over a year and a half ago; of the removal of Mrs. Waters to 113 West 43 St., New York City; that Mrs. Sara 1 ving) Roberts is living in Iloilo, Panav, P.

Miss Dora Simpson, M.D., from "Good Samaritan Hospital," Jhelum, asks that the Hindus and Mohammedan's of India may be remembered in prayer, as they are so bound by custom and superstition that their hearts open to the light of Christ very slowly. Rev. E'rank Thompson, of Valparaiso, Chili, writes "Compelled by illhealth I was obliged to retire from active service a little over two years since and am just biding my call. I beg to assure you that our love for Hawaii has never abated one jot. The people, our Cousins, still possess our whole heart." Miss Helen S. Norton writes from E!ustis, Florida, "I am deeply interested in all your doings as reported in The Friend, and hope the Society maysecure the Old Mission Home and the Chamberlain property for the purposes proposed. I wish a tablet might be erected or placed on the Kawaiahao grounds to mark the site of the old printing establishment, bindery, residence of the missionary physician and of the Seminary. You are doing such a splendid work for the various races that I wish this land where race hatred is growing more and more intense might learn a lesson from you, but the curse of slavery rests upon all, and they that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind." From one of Lucia Lyon's vacation letters from Peitaiho we quote this description of a river ride: "I know you will rejoice to see the heading of this letter and know that I am here at last. Let me see, I left off where we had just been at Tsang Chou, didn't I? Well, the last two days on the river were not quite so comfortable as those before, because it was warmer and there were a great many flies. However, we had a big mosquito net, so that we were not troubled when we wanted to sleep, and we had a grand chase before each meal. "Monday evening we wanted to get as far along as possible, so we kept on going until about 9 o'clock, and Miss Peel and I sat on deck and recited poetry. We tied up for the night at a much smaller place than any we had stopped at before, and it was very quiet. The next day about the middle of the morning we reached the outer barrier, where there is an official who examines the boat's papers. From there it is quite a long way to the real custom house, but we got there along in the afternoon some time, and after that we were fairly in the city. I have never stayed on the boat so far up into the city before, and it was very interesting.

The graduating class A good many of them had broueht cargoes of watermelons from Shantung, and the banks were just lined with them, and the river was full of the rinds. There were a good many fishing boats with nets suspended from poles, which were lowered into the water like dredges, and crowds of children on the bank watched when they came up, and shouted and cheered over a good haul. We saw a few Japanese in foreign clothes going up or down the river in small boats, or crossing bridges, but we did not see a single European or American. Finally, we reached what they call the iron bridge just as we were eating our supper. It was just closing as we came around the bend, and was not to open until the next morning, so we settled down to spend the night there. When we had finished our supper, Miss Peel and I went out for a little walk along the big road which runs beside the river. We could not go very far for fear it would get dark, and we had to get on to our boat by going across three others, by means of boards stretched across. It was a queer place to sleep, in the midst of a jam of boats in a great city, with boatmen veiling back and forth as they brought their boats into position and, stranger still, the rumble of electric cars going over the bridge." them. We wish we could place in the hands of every parent a booklet called "How to Tell Children the Origin of Life." The delicacy of the subject and the difficulty of presenting it to children leads many parents to keep silence on this question which is of such vital importance to every boy and girl, and children are too often left to gather their information as to life's most holy relations from ignorant and corrupt acquaintances. This little pamphlet sets forth in a pure and interesting manner the sacredness of life's origin and is calculated to awaken in every boy or girl a feeling of reverence for the life of purity. It will be sent upon request of parents, pastors or teachers if accom panied by a return envelope, stamped and addressed. The Vir Publishing Co., 208 North 15th St., Phila., Pa.

()iu- ot the most interestng features ill ministerial life in this Territory is found in the monthly Christian Workers Training Classes held by the white pas ton and missionaries for the benefit oi those of other races. Thus Dr. Bak< i in Kona, Mr. Shields and Mr. Hill in llilo, Dr. Cowan in Kohala, Messrs Dodge, Turner, WaKrip and Buinham mi Maui ami Mr. Lydgate on Kaua', heve done wonders for the Christian Workers connected with the Churches of these Islands. ()aliu lagged some what behind her sisters. Mr. Kidman, who has eared faithfully for the interests of Churches outside of Honolulu ever since he came to the Territory, or, ganized this year a summer school for Oahu Christian leaders which lias donz tine work. Unfortunately by no means all of the evangelists and pastors of the various races have been induced to at tend. But the experiment has been a success and next year the summer school should score a notable triumph. Peeling the need of more trained Hawaiian pastors, the Hawaiian Board is o usidering the advisability of re-establishing a Bible Institute in Honolulu. Thai a Christian Workers' training school here will accomplihs much there can be little doubt. We trust the pro posed institution will be developed. < >t course the plan is not to attempt any thing like a theological sebool. The Hawaiian needs first of all sympathetic tiiendly co-operation trOm white missionaries and fellow pastors, lie is e>tting more of this now under the policy adopted by the Hawaiian Board in 1904 than for several decides previoiisl The Consequent gain has been marked. The second need is for trained Hawaiian leaders. The native people of this Territory will not be contented with Second-rate education for their leading young men in any Sphere of life. Their brighter boys go to Vale and Harvard, Cornell. Stanford, the University of California. West Point and other firstcla.'s mainland institutions for law, engineering, military, pedagogic and mcd ieal training. The same should hold true of theology. Tf we wish to get the ablest young men of this Territory to . ministry we can second-rate education. A first-rate theological training cannot be given by busy secretaries, superintendents, missionaries and pastors. Expertl trained to teach and with time to teach are .needed. This we cannot Command in Hawaii without an expenditure of money far beyond our resources. And if we could command the funds, it would not be wise economy because there is no need of opening new Theological Schools, when there are ample room and plenty of funds for training our young men in Eastern in('(•vote their lives to the not put them oil with a stitutions.

It fcf evident that without such men in the centers of larpc influence a permanent. developing Church cannot be expected. '"'" ' ' '"' Ambassador Rockhill's Complaint. Tt lias been perfectly evident to any(ne conversant with the views of ex perienced travelers who pass throuph Honolulu that sooner or later some distinguished voyager would voice the sentiments of the fraternity concerning the one prcat transpacific American steamship line. The lot fell to no less distinguished a statesman and diplomat than Hon. W. W. Rockhill, our Amhas-r.dor at the Court of the Czar. His lomplaint, perfectly justified, so experi- �4 enced ocean-crossers say, reopens the burning question of transportation justice to Hawaii. There can be no question that the opening" of the trade in ft eight and passengers freely to the ships of the world would do more for these Islands than any other one thing. Instantly competition in freigh rates between here and the mainland would stimulate production. It would become the interest of the three lines to cater to our products. The profits on tropical fruits gmwn here would attract settlers from New economics would enable Oversea. our sugar plantations to cope with a possible rise in the labor market, though it is very doubtful whether there would result any greater increase than is likely to come about with our present lack cf competition in transportation. It is certain that the tourist trade would advance with leaps and bounds. There would be a vast increase in the number of retired business men seeking an ideal spot therein to spend the years of their riper and larger experience. Of course the fear that such a change in conditions might affect adversely some of our present business interests is always on hand to oppose any such enlargement of horizon, but such gloomv anticipations are rarely realized by wide awake concerns AM hail then to such breeders of discontent over our antequated system of communication with the mainland as Ambassador Rockhill. May his tribe which already counts such sensible company as Ambassador Strauss of Constantinople. Hon. Tames F. Garfield. Hon. Francis R Loomis and hosts of others multiply until Congress gives Hawaii justice in freedom of transportation. Curtis E. Shields. Sunday. July 11, Honolulu listened regretfully to the farewell sermon of Rev. C. E. Shields of Hilo. Though he was not often able to spend time in the capital, Oahu people came to entertain a very high respect for this earnest, faithful Christian leader. His five and a half years have been very fruitful and have endeared him to us all. It was characteristic of Mr. Shields to identify himself very closely with all the missionary activities of the Territory. Nat tirally he became a pastor of pastors '.'i Hilo district and left his impress upon the workers of all races. He was eminently true in every relation. A preacher, excellent pastor, constant!.' growing as a minister, interested in ail sides of life, he has left his mark high THE FRIEND. Rcing still in early manhood it waj wise for him to seek the broadening influence of a return to the mainland, but he went reluctantly because 1 lawaii had gotten her grip upon his heart. Mrs. Siiiells was a worthy helpmeet. The trag'c Mirow which darkened their home brought j all the Churches nearer to Mr. and Mrs. Shields in deep sympathy. We arc prepared to follow these friends with growing joy as their ministry enlarges with the coming years. Hilo's New Leader. Next month we hope to present the likeness of Rev. August Drahms. th successor of Rev. Curtis E. Shields, in the pastorate of the First Foreig Church of Hilo. Why one ambitious sister city of the great Island still retains this outlandish title—for is noi foreign equivalent to otttland—is easily understood by all of us who own queer names. A name's a name for a that But whatever be its title the Church itself is vigorous, fully alive and a tru exponent of the best in Hilo. Both Church and city have large ambitions which time will justify. With its new breakwater Hawaii's capital will forge rapidly ahead. In this growing prosperity the Foreign or Union Church is certain to share. Mr. Shields is a good man to follow, in that he has left a united, earnest Church for his successor. Through the pleasant introduction of Drs. Adams, Brown and Frcar of California, we are all looking eagerly'fo ward to welcoming into the councils of our Churches, the new minister, who begins his pastorate with the first of this month. Mr. Drahms has long been connected as Chaplain with San Qttentin and is credited with fine lit erary ability. Rumor has it that Mrs. Drahms will also bring rare lowers into the service of Church and community The Friend welcomes these new fellow laborers with heartiest aloha and wishes for them the largest success. By Way of Emendation. Hon. W. O. Smith suggests that many may draw from the reference made to the Organic Act in the temperance reso lution of the Evangelical Association inferences not warranted by the text of that congressional statute. It is true that Representative Gillett of Massachusetts, to his honor let Hawaii ever remember, offered as an amendment to August, 1909 the Organic Act before its passage the following: "Nor shall saloons for the sale of intoxicating drinks be allowed." Rut this was negatived and for it wai substituted the following: "Nor shall spirituous or intoxicating liquors be sold except under such regulations and restrictions as the Territorial legislature shall provide." This of course prohib't ed the sale of liquor unless the local legislature should enact a law regulating and restricting the traffic. This the legislature did. Inasmuch as readers of the resolution, ignorant of the exact facts, may press the words of the reso lution too far, it is suggested that th Hawaiian Hoard, the Executive arm ot the Evangelical Association, modify the resolution by eliminating all reference to the Organic Act. This will not in th slightest weaken the force of the pronouncement and we therefore hope tinBoard may see its way clear to take this action. : The Short Ballot. The Outlook for July 17 contains a most excellent article by Richard S. Childs with this title. The writer points out the fact that communities usually choose good men for the higher and more important offices because only prominent citizens, whose record is well known or is at once thoroughly set forth by the press, are nominated for these positions. Hence the ballot is an intelligent one, and the undoubted will of the citizens in favor of good government can be carried out. Rut with the multitude of minor offices the case is different. Nobody save the politicians knows the nominees, the press has no interest in looking them up, the jneoplc cannot find out their qualifications, hence they vote blindly by party and the boss gets his creatures elected, thus defeating the popular will for honest public service. Anyone who has served on a municipal voter's league or civic federation which aims to study up the records of candidates know how true Mr. Child's contention is. The vast bulk of candidates are unknown men with no specially ascertainable records. Tt is impossible to guage what sort of public servants they will make. Generally they are creatures of the wire-pullers and can be depended upon to become office-holders subservient to the machine instead of public servants mindful of the common weal. Mr. Childs proposes as remedy the short ballot by which he means a radical curtailment of the offices to be �THE FRIEND, August, 1909, filled by public election such as is realized by the Galveston, Houston and Dcs Moines plans. For example let all the affairs of the city be placed in the hands of say five elected heads of departments, one of whom is to he chosen every five years in rotation with five-year terms. for Hold these men responsible the conduct of civic affairs, for economy, for good service on the part of their appointees and employees. At election time the voters will have no difficulty in choosing a good man for the vacant place and the result will he honest, economic, efficient government. "But," exclaims Friend Shortsight, "that is government by oligarchy, not democracy!" What is oligarchy? The rule of the few. Now, if the people intelligently choose their public servant, getting the man they want, the man who will obey the people's will, who rules? The people or the man chosen? The people of cours ■ In other words where the man chosen to office does what the people want him to do, even if there be only one elected office holder, the people rule and this is a democracy. But where the offices are many and because they are so numerous the machine is able to get men elected who will not do what the people want 1 tit who carry out the will of the machine, who rules 7 Not the elected men for they obey the machine. Not the peo pic because nobody obeys them. But the machine rules and because the machine is always a few the resulting government is an oligarchy. Our American cities will continue to be oligarchies not democracies as long as the people allow the machine to dominate them or cheat them out. of their sovereign prerogative. Give us the short ballot in Honolulu. D. S. NEWS FROM NAURU. Under date of June 18, Rev. P. A. Dclaporte of Nauru, writes as follows: 1 believe that this is about the time for the Hawaiian Board's annual meeting and understand that it is to be held in Central Union Church. T trust that yen will have a good time debating ways and means to advance the Master's Kingdom on Hawaii's fair shores. May our good Lord abundantly bless your labors! Our own work is apparently stil' h!essed by the Master. Of course little disappointments do come but as a whole we are satisfied with the progress made. Meetings are not only well, but vtry 5 ic't'/l attended and it taxes the abilities c,f Mrs. Delaporte and the ushers to find 100 mat times for the congregation about 1000 people. Of course not everyone who attends follows the Lord all the way, hut how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? Therefore it is good that they at least come. A few weeks ago we inaugurated a more aggressive work among the foreign natives. We now conduct a special meeting for them every Sabbath evening immediately after the evening ser- vice for the Nauru people. T speak to them through an interpreter. About 30x3 young men attend. Perhaps we will be able to do some good among them. There are natives from all over the Caroline Islands here, even some Yap boys. These latter have not even heard the Gospel as no Protestant missionary has up to now resided on their island. The great difficulty is that about six different dialects are used by the Caroline boys. Thus with the Nauru vernacular we have to deal with seven languages. Picase pray for this special new work that the Lord will bless it. Another week or so and our new Hymn book will he ready. It contains 117 Nauru and about 20 German Gospel Hymns, and in addition to this a lot of other matter such as the Apostle's Creed, Confession of Faith. Marriage Service, Lord's Supper Service, etc. We will bind this book here, but propose later on when the Psalms and Proverbs are ready to have, say. 300 copies of thcombined Hymn book and Psalms bound in Sydney or America. We had two sad accidents this month One Caroline boy drowned while hathingj while another was crushed to death by a railway train. It was however the poor fellow's own fault, as he persisted, notwithstanding warnings, to board the train while going at full speed. I went on hoard the "Ocean Queen' yesterday and had a good visit to Mr. Arundel. He is very much interested in our work. Next Sabbath he and family will attending morning service. He will be able to give you a description of our work and premises. Mr. Arundel has very kindly consented to take our freight from Honolulu to Nauru free of charge this time as a personal contribution to us. We are very sorry that the restoration of the Mission Premises has cost so much in excess of what the Honolulu friends expected, but the good Lord wiT help us to pay for it. : Semi-Annual Report of Japanese Christian Boarding School, January 1st to June 30th, 1909. Our school closed on the last of June and the greater number of the children returned to their homes to Spend the summer vacation with their parents. But we still have with ns some children who have no homes to which they may return. 1 am very pleased to have received many letters from parents expressing their hearty appreciation and gratitude on the improvement—not only in study, but in the behavior and manners of their children. We hojie for their return and that their good influence may be the means of bringing many new children to us. We have had sixtyone children: 3 from Maui, 4 from I la waii, 17 from Kauai, 7 from Oahu, 23 from Honolulu, 5 orphans, j children who were placed in my care. The Mid-Pacific Institute will be opened very soon and we hope our children will sec the wisdom of entering it. It is, however, necessary to maintain our school, as a preparatory to the Institute, Many of our children are too young and many who board with us attend the High School, for the present preferring to continue their course there. I regret to state that the deficit of three hundred eighty dollars forty cents, which was carried over from the last report, has been increased and is now four hundred and ninety-two dollars ninety-five cents. The reason for this deficiency is—notwithstanding the fact the strictest economy is exercised— that the school supports free of charge at least seven children, some of whom are orphans, while others have been left in our care. Again, others are unabl to pay more than half rate, owing to the poverty of their parents. The five dollars which they pay being wholly inadequate to their needs. Without the aid of our generous friends it would he impossible to further maintain the school. It owes its existence in the past fourteen years to the constant support it lias received from friends and I earnestlv hope and pray that the present deficiency may be wiped out, and that the new year may be begun free, of debt. As will be seen in my financial report, there have been many donations made by friends to whom I wish to express my most sincere thanks. The semi-annual financial report is herewith respectfully submitted. Respectfully, T. Okumura. (For Financial Report see page /g) �Range Lights By JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D. A BILL.

Senator Johnson is one of the strong Senators, distinctly moderate in temperament, a student, and a practical man of affairs. He believes in the principle, and the success in practice, of prohibition, from actual knowledge and long experience, and can be depended on to push this bill, to the full limit of his in- fluence. The bill is now in the hands of the Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. Tt will be met there and on the lloor of Congress, as well as in all the extra, devious ways of gin generalship. by a united, rich, tireless, organized liquor traffic. Eminent lawyers will be employed to appear in opposition to it. and a lobby as efficient and unscrupulous as human ingenuity can frame up will do personal work outside. But the liquor trade has fallen upon dark days. It is bankrupt, of course, in moral credit, its political power is broken, and the rising tide of general public sentiment will tend to the passage of the bill, if the island pressure is prompt and emphatic in its favor. There is no better way to reach the Congress and impress it, than by personal letters to the members. If every adult reader of The Friend, who believes the drink traffic to be evil and only evil, would write at once to some member, urging favorable action on this bill, it would probably become a law. In that case, the whole baffling nuisance would be in the strong hands of the federal government, and the wearisome annals of territorial experiment and failure would be closed. The liquor traffic is a chronic criminal and, in a great measure, defies the local efforts at curtailment ,or even regulation. But it is a coward, and it hesitates to take chances, as against the federal authorities. Perfection is not to be reached in this territory, or in this world; and no system will exempt us from failures and disappointments. But prohibition is the only method that promises relief. When enacted and enforced by local legisla- tures and ter than executives it is distinctly betany form or manner of licensing; and with the federal government behind it, and the territory cooperating, it will he at its best. Now , let us have a Hawaiian snow storm of letters to members of digress, —preferably members whom we know, or of whom we know, in some personal relation or, at any rate, to Hon. M. X. Johnson, Senate, Washington, D. C. THE GEORGE JUNIOR REPUBLIC. The George Junior Republic gives an interesting study of child treatment. Founded about 1890 by William R. George, the idea has steadily grown until the institution today stands as a positive force in New York State. "Nothing without labor" is the motto. Boys and girls, wild at home, beyond the control of parents and yet not so hardened as to be real criminals, orphans taken from the streets of cities, children of unfortunate parentage, these coma to Frecville. They become members of a Republic that has grown up naturally. The superintendents and Mr. George act as a check, but aside from that the Republic is real. A child is entered by parent, or court, or friend, often the child is given a choice between reform school or the Republic. For a few days the new comer is a guest. Then he becomes a citizen. His money is of no use to him. He has the clothes he brings. His parents or friends are not allowed to send clothing, supplies, or presents of any value. He may receive some simple gift at Christmas or on his birthday, but nothing that will take away from him the necessity of work. Upon becoming a citizen the boy is given his choice of what he will do. He may choose the farm, the carpenter shop, the printing shop, the dairy, the bakery, the laundry, what he will of what the school offers. He goes to work and is paid in the school currency what he earns. His rate is determined by what he accomplishes. With the money he earns, h can get his board and room. If he has no money he is not allowed to eat unless some other boys will lend him money. But this is rarely done, as the boys do not readily lend, having learned by experience that those who wish to borrow, rarely are good pay. If the boy refuses to work, he is arrested as a vagrant an put in jail. There he is compelled to work. If he refuses under ordinary pressure, he may be whipped but usually is placed in solitary confinement until he is willing to do as he is told. �THE FRIEND August, 1909, 7 to I cannot go further into details.

The superintendent girl refused to go. She was at once tak en to the police court and told that she would be sentenced to the girl's reformatory unless she went qv.iitly. She was sensible enough to go. Arrived at Frecville, she refused to work, was soon arrested as a vagrant, sen' to the girls' jail, and set to scrubbing floors. She rebelled. She had never scrubbed floors at home and she wasn't going to begin then. She was given a little time to change her mind but persisting, she was taken by force to a room absolutely empty, about Bxlo, and locked in. She had no chair, no bed. A window, high in the wall, gave some light and plenty of air. Very plain food was her diet. She was thoroughly searched to see that she had nothing about her person with which she could inflict any injury upon herself. She was allowed plenty of blankets so that she should in no way suffer from the cold. But she was left absolutely alone. Her jailor came only wit! her food and answered only necess.v questions. Before the second day was over she became tired of screaming. weeping and rebelling. She begged to be taken out and promised to do anything she was asked to do rather than to be absolutely alone. She was again set to scrubbing floors and was kept at it until she learned to do that well and mcomplainingly. Then she was sent to work in the school laundry. There she could he with other girls, but as a prisoner she could not talk with them. If she did her sentence was lengthened. < She was tractable, industrious, taking her punishment, serving her time. 1 talked with her. She had no complaint. The Republic seemed a pretty good place to her. At any rate she was there and she was going to make the most of it. She was going to get out of jail, work hard and try to get an honorable discharge from Frecvillc. Harsh measures but something drastic was very necessary. I saw a boy in jail studying Cicero, expecting soon to get out of Freeville and to enter Cornell in another year. For some offence he had been committed and was serving his time. 1 saw a boy who was entered in the school some time previous to my visit. He came as a notorious thief. He boasted of his prowess. Tn a few days something was missing. He was promptly arrested by a boy policeman on suspicion, tried by dom, knowledge of what others were getting, worked the cure. Ile was then a trusted superior officer in the court. The boy wdio works gets his pay. He can have as good board and room as he has the money to pay for. If he earns the minimum amount he has bare sustenance, poor quarters in which to sleep is shunned by other boys, is liable a' any time to be arrested. As a minor he has to go to school certain hours of th day, whether he is in jail or a free citizen. The real strength of the whole scheme lies in the simple motto of the institution, "Nothing without labor." The boy who will not work, can not �< *& Do Good e< *£ Do all the good yon can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, Jit all the times you can, Co all the people you can, Hs long as ever you can. eat, for he can get nothing to eat. Hence he gets the idea of the necessity and the dignity of labor. Whether he enter.. well to do or as a pauper, .is a citizen of the Republic he gets no tavor. His United States money does him no good. 'The boy who works best, tets the be;t room, has the best food, wcas ill" best clothes, has the best time in every wa The lazy hoy loses caste vciy quickly. He soon learns that he can have a voic in the law that seems to oppress him ;t he will and he aspires to wield the power. He may be actuated only by bas- % motives.

So far as time allowed I studied th." workings of the Republic. I believe that if a modified form of it could be adopt ed by our Industrial School at Waialee that Mr. Gibson would bring even better results than he has already. The principle is right. The details of its dc velopment must necessarily v.f,y in different communities and with different nationalities. Yet I must testify that at Freevillc I saw many races side by sii'e, working out their own problems by hon • est toil. T came away impressed wit'i the great good this instiution is doing its young citizens. Other republics have been established : one in California and one in Litchfield, Connecticut, for boys under fourteen years of age. These arc branches of the George Junior Republic. Another Republic has been started in Georgia. There is the National Republic, a few miles out of Washington, D. C. There is the Carter Republic in Pennsylvania. Many phases of the Republic plan have been adopted by many reform schools. The School City* estab lished by Mr. Wilson L. Gill,'and the Juvenile Court are other agencies work ing along the same general lines. At the Republic the annual expense of one child is $250. The average length of time a child stays at the Republic is three years. The child who goes out from the Republic is permanently bettered. Nearly 500 citizens have ahead" gone out from George Junior. Of these only twenty have been committed to any other institutions. Of these twenty only one was dismissed naturally from the Republic. The other nineteen were taken away before their time was.completed. The annual expense to New York State for one convict is between $600 and $700 and continues for several years. Not only that, the ordinary convict is committed several times duriti" his lifetime and the expense repeated. More important still a life has been wasted and a community has suffered. Perley L.

We extend a welcome to him and Mrs. Drahms, and congratulate the Hilo people that their new pastor will soon be among them. and helpful workers of has made a pastor and is a distinct j» In a modest and manly statement on a recent Sunday, the Rev. Dot/emus Scudder informed his people of the Central Union Church of the steps that had gradually led to the call cabled him to become District Secretary of the American Board, with headquarters at New York. While every one recognizes his peculiar fitness for the post proffered, it would be a distinct and serious loss to our Christian community here to have Dr. Scudder go away. He holds a commanding and eminently important post that demands a man of uncommon ability. Dr. Scudder is satisfying these demands in a singularly effective and wholesome way. It is exceedingly doubtful whether the post to which he has been called, taking all things into account, exceeds in importance and opportunity the post he is now filling. There are probably more men available for the New York office than there ar. for the Honolulu pastorate. A great organization like the American Board probably never questions its right to lay hands on desired ability wherever it finds it; but there certainly is such a thing as wise strategy, and to hold a strong decision he is to make, and that it will he made conscientiously in view of all the interests concerned. In the wish that he may decide to remain with us, we do not forget the missionary need that summons him; but we believe, in all fairness, that missionary need speaks louder here than on the mainland. S As an aid to the more thorough instruction of some of our Christian young men, a summer school for Bible study has been held during three weeks of July in the parlor of the Central Union Church. The arrangements were in charge of a special committee consisting of Messrs. Erdman, Judd and Nakuina, appointed by the Hawaiian Board. The regular instructors were Messrs. Erdman, Judd, Hopwood and Oleson. Four courses were given: one an exposition of the book of Hebrews by Mr. Oleson; one in Biblical Introduction by Mr. Hopwood ; one in Homilet!cs by Mr. Erdman and one in Sunday School Normal Methods by Mr. Judd. Lectures were aiso provided by Dr. Scudder, Rev. F. S. Scudder and Mr. Rath. The attendance while not as large as hoped for, was yet very gratifying, and fully justified the experiment. With certain modifications and adaptations this summer school possesses great possibilities. Much credit is due those who have had the plans in charge. We feel sure that this will become one of our most helpful agencies in supplementing the educational work of our schools and churches. Ji What might easily have been under other conditions a much more serious disaster occurred off the coast of Molokai on Friday, July 2, when the launch "Rainbow," with nearly fifty people on board, mostly children, was capsized, and every one was plunged into the sea. The boat was about a mile from shore, and it is remarkable that all escaped to land, with the exception of one feeble Hawaiian woman who was overcome by the shock and strain. We are informed that the mishap wacaused by the merest accident to the steersman. He was standing, but in losing his balance, and falling overboard, be held on to the tiller, and gibed the boat that was going at high speed, so suddenly that she careened, throwing the passengers to one side, and thus completing the disaster. The Rev. J. Kaalouahi, pastor at llalawa, was on board accompanying his young people on their way to a Sunday School exhibition that was to be held at Kaunakakai on Saturday and Sunday, July 3d and 4th. He proved himself a hero equal to the occasion; for he looked after his little flock in the water and through patient and faithful supervision succeeded in getting all safely to land. While the larger ones swam ashore, he remained behind with the little ones, clinging to the upturned boat, until a rescuing boat took them from their perilous position. He was the last one to leave the upturned boat. As these people lost all their clothing, including their best, an appeal to the Honolulu public for donations of money and clothing was made to which there Four was a most generous response. large cases of clothing have already been forwarded, and more will be sent if needed. More money was subscribed than was necessary, and the disposition of the balance will be referred to the generous donors.

It is a good thing to know which Pharaoh was on the throne when Moses lived, and how many chariots could be driven abreast on the walls of Babylon; but it is infinitely more important to know something of tlie missionary work that is going on in Nov York and Chicago; of the brave men and women laboring among the snacks and dugouts of the West and the ruda cabins of the South.

The movement to establish a dry camp for tuberculosis patients demands constant emphasis. Unfortunately the public needs to be educated. Constant reiteration of the need will in time supply this information. Two classes require it.tsruction: those whose sympathy and financial help are needed to make the establishing of the camp possible and its maintenance assured, and those who are suffering from the disease itself. Both classes have been strangely unresponsive to the many pleas. Yet every daily paper that gives a report of mortality statistics shows the frightful inroads of this dread disease. Were small-pox. typhoid scarlet fever, or plague cases one-fifth as ftequent, the whole community would rise in alarm. Yet here is a disease in our midst more deadly in its effects than any of the above named, and we carelessly pass it by. The indifference of those who can help is daily sending vict'ms to the grave. 'That tuberculosis can be cured has been established beyond question. Unfortunately, however, attention usually is only given to the disease when it has gained so strong a possession of the vie- 9 that treatment can alleviate but not cure. There is a decided failure everywhere in taking hold of cases in th.'ir iucipiency. As soon as the tubercle bacilli is detected, treatment should begin. Without question, our physicians would call attention more persistently to the presence of these bacilli if some place was open for their treatment besides the home. In its early stages tuberculosis is curable. As the disease advances, i' becomes more and more difficult to check its progress. A campaign of education should he entered upon to instruct those who are threatened or who may be threatened with the disease to take the care of themselves necessary. The importance of a day camp cannot be overestimated. A general feeling prevails among certain classes of our population that tuberculosis cannot be cured. Hence the appearance of the disease means the abandonment of life, the shutting of themselves into close unventilated rooms, and instead of a fight for existence, the giving up to despair. A day camp, demonstrating, as it must, its helpfulness and its positive cures, will gradually dispel this tendency to desoair. Far more cases will be affected favorably by the adopting of its methods by individuals thtoughout the community than by the institution itself. The power of. example is potent. Hay camps have proved their worth Many, many patients have already been cured, many, many more have been benefitted. A day camp for Honolulu, situated conveniently, one to which patients might come and go daily, will be a blessing to our community, more far reaching in its beneficent effects than any onecan rightly estimate or even appreciate. tun Every possible aid should l>e extended to those who are without means properly to care for themselves, and to those whose home environment is unfavorable. Some have expressed the fear that tht presence of these patients in the cars jroing back and forth daily would be a menace to the health of the other passengers. There is no occasion for this fear. Those who receive treatment at the sanitarium or the day camp, will be far more careful of themselves than eve before. Not only will they hide the means of communicating their disease. but they will be far more thoughtful of the rights of others. All of us are exposed daily far more to the disease hy contact with infected persons, on the cars, in the stores, and on the streets, who are taking no care of themselves and are ignorantly spreading the germs wherever they go. Wherever day camps have existed, good has resulted. Honolulu has a great need- Tuberculosis is spreading. Every known means to check its progress and to lessen its ravages should be adopted. It is not too much to hope that the situation can be mastered if vigorous action is sustained. A half-hearted fight will bring but a partial relief. A concerted effort by all will alone solve this great problem. P. L. H. He who lives in the spirit never grows old.

The social attractiveness of the Colorado Springs building made the visit to that plant worth while. Three new buildings have been built in Texas during the past eighteen months, and to these we now wended our way. Dallas, with its beautiful and practical $150,000 building first occupied our attention, and two days were spent there. There were three things to which 1 paid special attention. First, the method of raising the money for the building; second, the plans of the building itself; and third, the method of managing the plant after completed. Hawaii in the early days. A Vale classmate of Mr. J. P. Cooke is vice-president of the Association in Houston, and a great believer in the work. Galveston has an old building, and San Antonio a good example of things not to do. El Paso has a building that cost $82,000 not counting lot and furnishings. The secretary here is a genious, and in the two days spent with him I got many practcal suggestions on the architecture of Association buildings. The exterior of the building is the simplest part of the program. It is the arrangement of the interior on which one has to use his gray matter. Any architect can do the exterior. Not one in a Secretary s Trip. The good ship Lurline landed me in Honolulu July 23, two months and twenty days from the date of leaving. The trip was one of nearly 12,000 miles, and included twenty cities and a stay of ten days in a Rocky Mountain hotel, four miles from Manitou. It was to this beautiful spot in Ute Pass that I went after the conference of Y. M. C. A. secretaries at Omaha. Here were gathered over two hundred college men from western colleges to spend ten days in Bible study and conference on religious work for men in college. It was my privilege to lead some thirty men in one of Dr. Bosworth's Bible course, and one Sunday afternoon of the conference to speak on the results of mission workin Hawaii. After being out of college Y. M. C. A. work for four years it was a great pleasure to take up the old lines, and meet daily for ten days with the leaders in religious work in our virile western institutions. Among the leaders of the conference known locally were Bishop W. F. McDowell, Dr. Frank K. Sanders and Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston. The latter, in one of his addresses, spoke at some length of the work of Dr. John Gulick, referring especially to his famous reply to Romanes. The conference part of my trip over, my next duty was to study some of the newer Association buildings to get ideas for our own projected building. Colorado Springs and Denver furnished a few ideas, the feature at Denver that specially interested me being their fine equipment for teaching mechanical trades. Some of these plans we will use Houston's vision realized including a thorough study of the business administration. The second point included notes on the practical problems involved in the construction and arrangement of the gymnasium, lobby, baths, educational department, boys' rooms, billiard rooms, dormitories for men, hand-hall courts, and the cost of various methods of construction, as reinforced concrete, steel, brick, and the practicability of the various methods. After Dallas, Houston. It is one of the finest towns in the South, and has a building that is a credit to the town. It is the largest Association building in the South, and cost $200,000. I like it better than any Y. If, C. A. building I have ever seen, and spent five days with- dozen knows A. B. C. about interiors. It is customary to send the architect on a tour of inspection, after which he and the secretary work out the plans together. It is the latter's business to know what is wanted, the former's to put the ideas into shape. Mr. John R. Mott has said that the Los Angeles building, worth about threequarters of a million dollars, is the most complete Y. M. C. A. building in the world. It certainly has everything one could want. During my three days in Los Angeles I gave a lecture on Hawaii, using about 150 lantern slides. Who should I' see in my audience but Dr. Lyman B. Sperry. We bad a pleasant chat after the lecture. �August, 1909 A study of the Stockton building, under construction, and the plans of the San Francisco and Oakland buildings ended the duties along this line, and the last couple of days before sailing for Honolulu were spent with architects in an unofficial way, giving them some idea of what we would want, and looking over their work to form some idea of their ability. Though the trip was one of great interest and profit, it was far from a vacation trip, and we were glad when its duties were over, and very happy to get back to Honolulu, ready to take up the work for the men of the city, refreshed and stimulated by the weeks of travel and study, filled with new enthusiasm, and charged with new energy. DR. SCUDDER DECLINES MAINLAND CALL. Just as we are going to press we are able to announce Dr. Scudder's decision to remain in Honolulu. His decision was made known to his congregation on Sunday morning, Aug. Ist, in a sermon on the text, "Behold I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut." His address shows the estimate which he places upon the strategic importance of these islands in the world wide Christian campaign. The evident suspense of the congregation was broken by a rustle of relief, when the moment arrived in which his decision was announced. We give the following extracts : "Every man faces opened doors, which lure him to enter the gardens into which they lead. One of these doors Is set before him by God. The gteat question is, which of the doors that front him is God The door which opened placed? before your minister on July 6 disclosed a very enticing panorama. I would not dare to read you the letters written by President Capen and Secretaries Burton, Patton and Strong. Briefly the middle district of the American Board's home territory comprises Connecticut, the state which next to Massachusetts does most for our foreign missions, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, the District of Columbia and some Southern communities. The board desires that its Interests In this district be entirely reorganized. At present the mainland is witnessing an unprecedented revival of missionary fervor, comparable only to the mighty temperance wave. It is characterized by an entirely new manifestation called the laymen's missionary movement which is beginning to affect all denominations. Under its influence the Southern Presbyterians have gained thirty per cent in two years for their missions.

It is a budding in green and white, architecturally in harmony with its surroundings, and pleasing to the eye from whatever direction it is approached.

The building is so arranged that, opening a sliding partition, the adn ng school-room can be thrown into the auditorium, giving space for comfortably accommodating between three and four hundred people. Upstairs in the tower is a room twelve feet squar which is equipped with shelves and table for a reading room and the building is lighted throughout with gas. For the erection of this building the Japanese contributed handsomely, hut they could not have had the pleasure and advantage of a church building had it not been for the generous gifts of Messrs. G. N. Wilcox, H. P. Baldwin and H .B. Penhallow, and also the efficient counsel and oversight of the Rev R. B. Dodge. As it is all are to be congratulated on the splendid result of harmonious co-operation. Lumber and labor were secured almost at cost, and as a result the building, both in size and finish, has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The available funds were 150 in cash and $300 in promises, and the bills are well within the allowed appropriations. The Dedication service was held on Sunday, Aug. I. at 2:30 P. M., Revs. Dodge, Turner, Santos and Waltrip, representing the foreign community, and Rev. Tanaka, Messrs. Fukuda, Kikuchi and Date, the Japanese community.

GOOD TIDINGS FROM EWA. Rev. O. H. Gulick visited the Jap- anese church at Ewa on Sunday, Aug. Ist. At the morning service sixty persons were present, and Baptism was administered to 24 adults and 5 children. After the sermon by Mr. Gulick, a joyful communion service was held. At the evening service forty-five persons were present. It was a meeting of the Temperance Society, into which ten new members were received. This society now has enrolled about 70 members. The annual report and re-election of the officers of the church were also features of this meeting. The adult members of this church now number 69, making it the second Japanese church in size on Oahu, and the third largest on the islands. THE COLLEGE OF HAWAII. The catalog of the College of Hawaii has been issued and copies will be sent to all those who request them. A post card addressed to the College will be sufficient. The catalog contains information regarding the requirements for entrance, the courses offered and the subjects taught.

I was starting out on a trip to the most International Sunday • August, 1909 interesting islands of Lanai and Molokai. It was my second visit to the former island, and I felt as though 1 was among friends when I preached in the Lanaihale Church on Sunday, June 27th. The services that day were helpful as usual and the spirit of worship was felt most strongly. Rev. David W. Kcliiokamoku WHiite of Lahaina was present and took a large part in the services. After the Sunday school hour and the preaching, of a sermon hy the Superintendent, there was the sacrament of baptism ,the reception of two new members into the church and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The regular C. E. meeting then took place, after which the congregation adjourned to the residence of Mr. Charles Gay at Keonuiku for luncheon. While on Lanai I was able to obtain a glimpse of the life on a sheep ranch and to observe the method of shearing the sheep. We also had opportunities to indulge in some forms of hunting, the grandest of which was to shoot at man-eating sharks from the top of the pali of Kaapahtt. We had a chance to see the famous "pali o Kaholo" and the spouting-horn of Kaala, renowned in Hawaiian legend. After my enjoyable visit on Lanai, I went over to Molokai on Sat., July 3rd. The first port we stopped at was Pttkoo. Going ashore there, we were told the news about the disaster occurring to the party from Halawa that took passage for Kaunakakai in the gasoline launch "Rainhow." This unfortunate accident was on Friday afternoon, the 2nd. It was remarkable that only one life was lost out of such a large company of over 40. 1 laving lost their clothes, the remainder of the Halawa Sunday school returned to their homes that evening, and the I loifce at Kaunakakai was thereby less of a success. In spite of the absence ot the delegation from the eastern end of the island, there was a large audience assembled in the cocoanut-thatched lanai in front of the Kaunakakai church on Sat. evening to listen to the concert that had been arranged for the benefit of the church-building fund. The program was well arranged and well carried out and over eighty dollars was raised for the fund. Sunday a. m. before the various schools appeared on the platform, there was a brief memorial service for the woman who had lost her life in the boatdisaster and there was also a thanksgiving service because of God's mercy in delivering so many from the perils of the sea. There were few dry eyes in the audience as Messrs. Nakaleka, Timo- �August, 1909 teo and laea conducted this special service. The Hoike proper was a great success, and the schools showed that some good drilling had been done. Waialua, Kahiaaha. Kamalo and Kaunakakai were represented by large delegations, and it was regretted by everyone present that the Halawa Sttndav school could not have been present. The exercises of the day concluded with a luan in the section of the lanai that had been erected for that special purpose. "The Glorious Fourth" was celebrated in Kaunakakai with a good deal of enthusiasm on the sth, for the "Mokolii" had arrived in the a. m. from Maui itli a gay crowd of excursionists, baseball players, etc., all intent upon having a good time. Some of them hired horses and took the ride to the top of the pali overlooking the Leper Settlement, wh; le others chose to stay around the village and enjoy the quietness. Soon after noon, a baseball game was played between the team from Honolulu and the team representing Molokai. It was a fine contest, and resulted in a victory for the local team by the score of 8-5. A luau followed, and then there was music and, as soon as it was dark, fireworks. Thus ended the special events of the two days in the little village down by the w• sea. Wednesday a. m. Rev. E. S Timoteo, Rev. I. D laea, the pastor of the Kaluaaha church, and T started for Halawa to see what we could do for the unfortunate ones who had lost their property in the disaster We were guests overnight of Hon. and Mrs. Nakalekr.. The next morning the Halawa people met in the church in response to the invitation sent out by means of the bell which was rung frequently. Almost all of the people of the valley were present to meet with us. It was a long and helpful service that we held that morning and afternoon. First of all, the Hoike exercises were given by those who had expected to appear at Kaunakakai. The program that they had intended to give was well planned out and they gave it in excellent form. The singing was especially fine. Halawa merits its reputation for excellent music. (After the Hoike, Messrs. Timoteo. Judd gave addresses on topic; it were timely. Then after an inte-ssion, Mr. Timoteo conducted a spe 1 service, evangelistic in nature. Mr. ?a and I assisted, and at the close Mr. ;a and THE FRIEND Timoteo gave an opportunity to several to unite with the church. There were a number of responses, and at a communion service held that evening, eighteen were received into fellowship of the church. At the close of the service, 1 secured the list of names of those who were on the boat at the time of the upsetting, and also found out what they lost. This list was sent to the Hawaiian Board and they made an ajipeal, through Messrs. Oleson and Bowen. The response has been most generous and friends have given more than enough to supply the people of Halawa with clothes to replace those lost in the sen. The incident shows the spirit of generosity and brotherliness that pervades the atmosphere of Hawaii nci. The response to the appeal for assistance has cony: from individuals, churches and schools, 'md from people of various classes. After the meeting, the visiting ministers were invited to a luau at the home of Mrs. Kane, mother of the school teacher, Mr. Matthew Kane, who has done so much for the Sunday school of Halawa. After the luau, I rode over to Waialua to attend the concert that was given for the benefit of the Halawa people. The Tolani Club from Honolulu who had as sisted materially at the Kaunakakai concert furnished the music, assisted by some local talent. Twenty dollars waraised for the fund. On July 9th, Messrs. Kaalouahi, the minister of Halawa, Matthew Kane, Timoteo and laea rode over to Waialua and I met them there for a noon-time service. It was attended by quite a number and the subject of the meeting "Who is my neighbor?' was most practical. Mr. Kane interpreted for me. Sunday, July nth, T preached in the Kaunakakai church, while Mr. Timoteo and Mr. laea were at the Kaluajha church. On Tuesday, the 13th, T rode over to the eastern end of the island again and was the guest overnight of Judge and Mrs. Conradt at Mapulehu. Next morning H. Rexford Hitchcock, Jr., and I started out on our trip to Wailau and Pelekunu. Tt was not hard to make the trip over the pali and through the stream to the little village of Wailau, for I well remembered the trail from my previous trip with Hon. Joel Nakaleka. We found the people busy at work preparing paiai for shipment to the Leper Settlement the next day. After a warm meal at the residence of Mr. Wailiula. the people came to our meeting. I spoke in Hawaiian about the S. S. work in 15 these islands, and Mr. Hitchcock told about the work of the Hui Pauahi at Oahu College. Mr. Wailiula entertained us over night and until we saw the "Mikahala" come into the harbor the next a. m. Tt was interesting to watch the work of loading the bundles of paiai into the boats. We went out in the last boat and had a very short but grand steamer-ride to rclekuntt, about three miles away. The coast line between Halawa and Kalaupapa is perhaps the grandest scenery in these islands, not even excepting the famous Napali coast of Kauai, or the Waipio and Waimanti valleys on Hawaii. The coast between Wailau and Pelekunu is surely a magnificent landscape with its wonderfully beautiful waterfalls and vegetation. Th* landing that we were to make at Pelekunu is different from the usual landing at our island ports. The passenger has the option of a leap upon the rocks or of being hauled up in a basket. Mr. Timoteo and Mr laea who were on the steamer from Kaunakakai and Lahaina. preferred to be elevated in the air, while Mr. Hitchcock and I elected to jump ashore —a much shorter process than the other. All four of our party were "malihinis" to that valley, and so we were very much interested with all that we saw. We thought that Pelekunu was one of the most primitive places in the islands, and at the same time one of the most beautiful, situated as it is between the deep blue sea and the lofty and beautiful mountains. After the meeting we were able to add that the people of Pelekunu are very warm-hearted and interested in the work of the church and Sunday school. We had a good* meeting, with practically all the population of the valley present in the church. The three ministers took part in the service, Mr. Timoteo taking the larger part of the time. We were entertained most handsomely by Mr. Makalei, the Superintendent of the Sunday school, and we shall long remember his kindness to us. It was the intention of our party to separate at Pelekunu. Messrs. Timoteo and laea wished to visit the Settlement, having received the necessary permission. Mr. Hitchcock and I wanted to climb the famous Pali that lies in the back of the valley. It was rainy weather, and some of the people tried to dissuade us from our purpose, saying that the trail was very dangerous in rainy weather. We were not to be turned aside from our original plans, however, and so we started out with Makalei, opio, as our guide, shortly before Messrs. Timoteo and laea began their sea voyage �August, 1909 THE FRIEND. 16 with Makalei, makua, as their pilot. The trail that day led us through a most wonderfully attractive mountain country where we were treated continually to the sight of high waterfalls and cliffs, lovely forests and streams, and all that a lover of Nature can desire was provided for our enjoyment. We had heard stories of the dangcrousness of the pah and were prepared to climb something really difficult. We found that the pali had been overrated as a place of danger, for the simple reason that there is always something to cling to as one is climbing upwards. There is this to be said about the trail, however, and that is that the trip is a long one and one must be in good condition if he does not expect to be thoroughly tired out at tin summit The top is over 4.000 feet high and the air is somewhat chilly. Just below the top and on the Kona side of the mountain is quite a swamp and in the midst of it a couple of sink-holes, supposed to be the sources of the Kawela and Kamalo streams. It is an interesting country all the way from the sea and a trip well-worth taking. I spent the night at Kaluaaha as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. The next morning I rode over to the Molokai Ranch, where I had made my headquarters while on the island. I took passage that evening for Honolulu on th "Mikahala" and arrived Sunday a. m July 18th. In the morning I spoke to Mr. Rath's class of young men at the Palama Settlement, and then preached at the Oahu Prison. During the month of August I intend to stay on Oahu, visiting as many different schools as possible on Sundays. In September I shall make a tour of East and Wr est Maui, ending up the tour by attending the Association meeting at Lahaina on Sept. 16th. is a great need of improved teaching and these lectures were prepared with the purpose of suggesting ways and means whereby the standard of teaching may be raised. It is axiomatic to say that our schools will be doing better work it the teachers know how to teach in a more effective way. The first lecture presented the purpose of the Sunday school and discussed the teacher as a student, also the influence of study upon the teacher. In the second lecture a definition of teaching was arrived at. It was shown first wha' teaching was not and then what it was. The essentials of good teaching were discussed, also the elements of atten- The last lecture consisted of a —how into discussion of these topics duce study mi the part of the pupils, the teacher and the religious life of the pupil, the duties of the superintendent and the cultivation of the spirit of wotship and benevolence in the Sunday gate. school.

The next can hope to be successful, and so a prime study treated of methods preparatory to qualification for the teacher is a willingThe Course on Sunday School Methods the work in the class-room, such as the ness to make some sacrifices if necessary in the Bible Institute. Among the courses that have been given in the Summer Bible Institute recently was a series of lectures on "Sunday school Methods" by the Superintendent. There were six lectures in all in which the problems and principles of teaching were discussed. It is likely that an abstract of the course will be made for the benefit of the Hawaiian teachers principally, such a request having been made. It is plainly evident to observers of our school methods that there study of the pupils, the study of the lesson for its teaching and the planning of the lesson. The question of authority in the class was then discussed. The fourth lecture treated of methods in the class-room—the recitation method, the conversation method and the lecture method. "What is a good question?" was then discussed. The next lecture continued the subject of class-room methods and brought information on the subjects of how to secure attention, to make clear that which you would teach, to secure co-work and to teach through the eye- for his pupils. Put two or three competent teachers in every school, and the standard will surely he raised. It is my belief that more thought should be given to the training of teachers by the ministers in our country and village churches than is now the practise. Teachers' meetings should be held more regularly and made more profitable. There are great possibilities in the work of teacher-training in these islands and all Christian workers should cooperate in making our teachers as efficient as possible. �Hawaii Cousins The following part of a letter from the noted Dr. Peter Parker of China was found among the effects of our dear Mother Parker, and after an interval ot seventy-five years is well worth re-reading 17 THE FRIEND August, 1909 : "Canton, China, May 31, 1834. "Very Dear Christian Friend. "I hope you will not think it improper or feel it unwelcome that I send you a letter, now you have become so near a neighbor to us. Some months since had the pleasure of learning of the safe arrival of your missionary hand in th' Mentor. But as opportunty has occurred till lately of sending from here to the islands. Through Rev. I. Tracy, now with us, I learn the destination of Mr. Parker to the Marquesis Mission. "First T thank God that you are permitted to be in the great missionary field of the Lord, for which you long looked, and where, I trust, it is his gracious will that you should sow the seed, and reap the friut, the wages of eternal life. "Next I thank almighty God that he has permitted me to occupy my present station in the vineyard, and with the hope that if faithful in my present post, the Master may one day say to me "go up higher—enter into the missionary work for China. "Thirdly. I pray the God of all grace. with whom is the residue of the Spirit, that he would richly endue both yourself and your beloved husband with gifts necessary for the happy discharge of your difficult work,— patience in suffering, which must often be our lot anywhere, very often in a foreign and heathen land,— humility that will prevent disgust at the neglect or overbearingness of others, and will offer no opposition to the blessed will,—perseverance,—that will continue till a foreign language is fully acquired, and till every good object once begun, is either accomplished, or proved impracticable or too earthy discretion, which is the cream of all active virtues, and which can he possessed in a high degree, only hy a well propor tioned and well regulated mind, and subdued heart. the love of Jesus, stronger than death, dearer than life, sweeter than any human affection, more steady, more growing, more exalting, than any other love imaginable. "We seem to have few objects of earthly love here in this mission, and — much like our power of tender feeling I think is to meet so as to make it look intimation forward. to go daily diminishing by disuse, yea, so, deso- a providential late and cheerless did it at first seem to me to be cut off at once from almost aU social society and from all female society, that I, albeit unused to cry, did weep with the natural feelings of regret ;or the dissolution of social and dear ties But it is all over now and I feel comparatively proof against any assaults of affection! But I do hope to hold on to love of Jesus and never to become insensahle to that. "In our location in Canton we are much favored by the Lord and his servants. The house we occupy is hired for us by Mr. Olyphant, a merchant who trades here largely, and by being in part in his establishment we thus avoid many little inconveniences, besides $1000 a year for rent. This year we have a house and table by ourselves. The houses here are factories, having large and pleasant but unfurnished and comfortless rooms. Rev. 1. Tracy has been with us about six months but has just gone to Singapore to live, expecting there to make headquarters for the Chinese mission for the present. Mr. Williams, printer, is with Bridgman and myself. The Chinese Repository costs much time and hard labor, but it has been very well sustained, and I think has done much and will do more to prepare for the work by spreading necessary information and awaking interest in behalf of China. Some Chinese books, composed of Scripture and of original matter have been and are constantly being published here at Canton. Afat distributed several thousand volumes and tracts a few weeks ago in the old capital of this province, to the young literati at the public examinations, and m one said him nay, but many praised him for his benevolence in giving away good books. "The indefatigable Gutslaff still continues his voyages up the coist, having now been five times. Tt is clear that access can thus be had to many millions of our fellow beings in heathendom. He has thus distributed several tens of thousands of books. Afat is about to baptize another of his countrymen, if he has not already done so—one who has been for some time desirous of baptism. "But on many accounts Singapore seemed to he the place for fixing tune' of the force of the mission, for makintr books and revising them. The brethren therefore have just been enabled to purchase the English Mission press at that place at very great advantage, as it is thought, and many circumstances seem The two brethren, Robinson and Johnson, who are destined for Siam, have hitherto been obliged to tarry at Singapore, but they are now about proceeding. Robinson's family has already increased one since they arrived, and Johnson's, I think the same. Munson and Lyman made headquarters at Batavia, from whence they are about departing to explore. It is considered a hazardous service, and in my judgment new men can hardly be fitted to explore and report on this new ground. But perhaps they may not be wholly uninteresting on the Marquesas. "In my own department of work there is nothing striking to be said. Since last Sept. I have preached at Whanpoa on the Sabbath with few interruptions. But the audiences have been frequently wholly changed during that time. Ther e can not have been less than 50 or 60 American ships in all. and many more of other nations. Some possible good, 1 trust, has resulted, but not enough for the time, and Oh, not enough for the crying exigency of the case. More have died in impenitence, I have reason to fear, than have found the way of life. I am cast down but not destroyed, not forsaken or without hope. "Now nearly all the foreign shipping is gone, and much of my time is devoted to the study of the language and other things connected with the mission. T assure you it is a very, very difficult language to learn, certainly with any helps that can be here commanded, or any where else I think. But by the blessing of God T hope to succeed yet, and to succeed well too, though it is a very doubtful case, for my past progress would not justify much hope." (The last sheet of the letter has been lost). LETTER FROM LAHAINA. I will tell you of the interesting service at Wainee Church last Sunday. July 4. It was communion Sunday and we met for the fellowship of that tender memorial service. Following the brief sermon came the reception of new members, five by confession, three adults and two young people: and one adult by letter. This makes sixteen received since the new year (1909) began. Tenderly and reverently Pastor White spoke the baptismal formula twelve times, and we who witnessed the services could hardly tell whether we rejoiced the more at the baptism of the adults and their �August, 1909 THE FRIEND. 18 confession of the Master, or at the baptism of the children. It was pleasant to see the little ones brought to the Lord, and from our hearts arose the prayer that the parents who tjms brought them might have wisdom and grace to train them in the knowledge and ways of Jesus.

The Planters' Chance. Here then is the great opportunity of the planters, Let them see the wisdom of the policy first of attracting these frugal, industrious folk to their plantations by making it possible for them to own homes, and second of inducing our government schools to give an education which shall lead the children to love agriculture. This latter end is being attained in Texas, why not also in Hawaii? Kona points a lesson worth taking to heart. The Japanese peasant proprietor or lessee enlists his children in his aid so that he is able to sell his own labor to others and yet reap a good harvest from his own land. If he has no children he works his field early and late or at odd times and spends the solid part of each day earning wages. With Hawaii's rare fertility it would be possible to attract to every plantation men with families who would delight to earn a small homestead and thereafter would form a stable working force increased from the ranks of their own children. Jt The Curse of the Sunrise Man. ( )ahu has found to its cost the menace of the Japanese plantation gambler. Kona is also cursed with the same pestilential species. At present there is a notorious quartet terrorizing the entire district. The tactics of this precious gang differ somewhat from those practised on the plantations, for it is not easy for a gambler to dupe men who have homes of their own into parting with their hard-earned cash. So the trade is shifted, and the villain plies his arts with the women, especially the home-sick new wife just out from Japan or the unprotected young girl in a �September. I*lo9. motherless home.

Will not Christians who have large interests on Hawaii take th ; s movement under advisement and help quickly to subscribe the entire amount and then to push it upward until it is adequate to the situation?

Rounding the ridge for the sake of the noble view we descended to the surface, broke off and ate thin plates of ice that margined the water and took our lunch at 9:40 a. m. Resuming our saddles we urged our sturdy horses in zigzag up the last steep cone and with a shout gained the signal pole at the highest point in the midPacific. A noble panorama lay at our feet, closed in on one side by Manna Loa with its sharply outlined summit crater wall and its vast impressive silent rivers of black lava. Below to the right Hualalai lifted its head more than 5000 feet lower than our vantage point. Sweeping in long train the mountain slope fell gracefully away to the ocean in the direction of our morning's ride. while dominating this outlook Halcakala pist across the channel rose majestically, its huge mass so artfully hulked that to the eye it claimed to overtop our summit, notwithstanding its lack of nearly 4.000 feet of stature. Still on the right at our feet lay Kohala mountain, its profound gulches which had formed so impressive a sight earlier in the morning, now veiled in haze. Off Hilo way t mighty sea of snow white billowy clouds stretched away to the horizon, in glorious contrast to the landscape that rimmed our view in every other direction. We counted seven cones, any one of which might be taken for Mauna Kea's real summit. Below them circling round the upper part of the mountain were ten others. Still more were hidden lower down. None of us experienced the slightest discomfort from the high elevation, 13,825 feet, no difference i" feeling from that at sea level being experienced. Of course if we had been on foot we should have suffered from shortness of breadth. We had prepared for heat after sunrise but shedding slickers and sweater found our winter flannels comfortable all day. Before beginning our descent we rode over some of the near-by summit cones, which were ranged about the several craters that once had formed the mountain's blazing crown. One of these craters had caught its inspiration from the rainbow and with hail of green, yellow and red scoria whose colors have defied the elements for many a century had dared to rival the hues of heaven's fairy arch.

But Molokai is dry, and according to the prevailing public opinion on the Island, will remain so for some years to come.

Conradt, for the initiative he has taken m the matter and for his eternal vigilance in enforcing the law; and Kalarilcini, who did such effective work in circulating the petition from the hills of Kalae to the beach sands of Waialua. The population of Molokai is almost wholly Hawaiian. This fact is significant, in view of the statement we often hear that even if the Islands had Local Option, the- native could never be induced to vote tor a dry country. The only inducement the Molokai natives needed was the opportunity to declare their sentiments. E. B. T. A REQUEST. We gladly call attention to the following request, assured that readers of The Friend, among whom there are so many devoted admirers of Dr. Bingham, will be happy to have a share in furnishing material for a volume in his memory. Editor, The Friend, Honolulu, T. H. "The Life and Letters of Rev. Hiram Bingham, D. D., a memorial volume, is being prepared by the members of his family. They will be very glad to receive any letters or other material relative to his life. These may be sent to bis sister. Mrs. Lydia Bingham Coan, No. 1439 Alexander St., Honolulu, H." �8 THE FRIEND. The Scribe's Corner REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON Corresponding Secretary. A special evangelistic campaign will be begun among our Hawaiian churches after the close of the fall meetings of the Island Associations in October. At these Association meetings special consideration will be given to plans whereby the proposed campaign may be most wisely directed to the advantage of out needier churches and communities. Sonic of our churches are so isolated that they feel the need of the warmhearted sympathy and fellowship of their brethren from more favored localities ; and others are in such sparsely settled regions that regular services are difficult to maintain, especially in view of the present dearth of ministers. To satisfy these needs in a measure, and to awaken new religious interest, as well as to wisely cultivate the interest already awakened in many of our Hawaiian churches, the proposed campaign will be inaugurated the latter part of October. The plan in general calls for two companies of special workers, under the leadership respectively of Rev. Messrs. Timoteo and Nakuina, one company working on one island while the other is at work on another. Instead of undertaking to visit all the churches in a more or less hurried manner, the aim will be to stay long enough in a given locality to make the effort one of permanent advantage to the churches concerned. With this general outline in view the consideration of the plan in detail in the various Association meetings will so shape the campaign and so elicit the interest and prayers of all our churches as to prepare the way for a great blessing. Let all our pastors and church-members unite in seeking Divine guidance and blessing in this undertaking. We already have the evidence that the way is opening, partly in the deepening interest apparent in the large number of accessions to our churches the past year, and partly in the very general craving voiced in the last annual meeting. The times are auspicious for c forward movement. We are praying that our Hawaiian ministry may be reinforced in numbers and in power. May not this proposed campaign bring to our ranks new men for the ministry, as well as new life for our churches? The epidemic of typhoid fever in Kona, Hawaii, has called attention anew to the desirability of maintaining a corps of d: strict nurses at points of vantage on the several islands. A resolution calling the attention of the Tciritorial Board of Health to this matter was passed at the recent meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, requesting such action particularly with reference to Kona, Hawaii. This was previous to the outbreak of the present epidemic which epidemic adds emphasis to the wisdom of the plan suggested. Whatever difficulties may lie in the way of the accomplishment of some such scheme, whether financial or otherwise, surely should not long delay the consummation of a matter so clearly in the public interest. We are glad to chronicle the promptitude and efficiency of the Board of Health, and of the Red Cross Society in meeting the situation in Kona so admirably. But what is needed is a permanent staff of district purses, thoroughly organized, equipped to meet any special demand like the present, but also on the ground, rendering efficient aid as a permanent force in promoting better physical and sanitary habits, instructing the people, and meeting wisely those many demands incident to sickness, accident, poverty and like ills, especially in the homes of the poor in isolated localities. Much is being done already in these directions by benevolent organizations, and individuals operating through social settlements, as at Palama and Waiakea, and through plantation and local hospitals as at Puunene and Waimea, Kauai. But all this is being done at centers of population. It ought to be r'uplicated in more sparsely settled localities, and the expense should be borne t\ the government. We trust that one of the indirect results of the present epidemic will be to direct public attention to the need of maintaining a corps of district nurses so that some of the hardships of sickness in our country districts may be allayed, and that lives that are now lost through ignorance and the absence of efficient help may be saved. The total amount of money contributed for the Halawa Fund for the relief of the sufferers by the "Rainbow" disaster, the large part of which was un solicited, was $598.20. Most generous contributions of clothing were made, liberal discounts were given on purchases of clothing, and the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company carried the goods to Halawa, freight free. The September, 1909. expended in purchasing new clothing was $157.80. This left an unexpended balance of $440.40. This amount was apportioned pro rata to the respective donors, and each one was requested to notify the Secretary of th" Hawaiian Roard, to whom the Fund had been entrusted, as to his wish in the disposal of the balance due him or her.

EBERSOLE The months of July and August are sually the quietest and the most uneventful months of the church year. This year has been a happy exception to the rule in Central Union, as the following schedule of events of more than ordinary interest will show. Jii.y 4.—Patriotic Service with Address iiv Dr. Tiios. E. Green. This year Independence Day falling on Sunday, the Men's League took advantage of the presence in the city of cne of America's foremost lecturers, the Dr. Thos. E. Green, and secured him for a patriotic address at the Sunday livening Service. The service was in reality a part of the City's Fourth of July celebration and was announced as such in the daily papers for some days previous. As a consequence a very large audience was in attendance and the service proved a most memorable occasion, Dr. Green more than sustained his reputation which had preceded him. His address '"The Red, White and Blue." was a most eloquent appeal to the highest patriotism. "Did anyone make our flag? Ah, no! By colors that will not fade, By sinuous sweep, and by deathless glowIt is us that the flag has made! And it whispers today to each star-told state You must hold me high, and must keep me great.'" July ii.—Farewell Message from Rev. Curtis E. Shields. It was the pleasure of all who attended Central LTnion Sunday morning, July 11, to hear a ..plendid sermon from the Rev. Curtis E. Shields, who was visiting in Honolulu for a few days before leaving for the mainland. His five and a half years of very fruitful labor in the islands, as pastor of the Union Church at Hilo, had made his name familiar to a great many who had never him speak. His sermon, "Without a Vision—Death," was greatly appreciated by all, and his presence afforded Central Union opportunity to give him and his family a hearty parting "aloha." July 14.—Address on Japan by Hon. Wm. R. Castle. At the regular mid-week service, July i/t Castle iust WW"*-. who had J -4. Hon Wm R 1 J ...... »*. ... V W.U 9 returned from a three months' tour in Japan, gave a most interesting address on the new spirit everywhere manifest in that empire. He had had unusual opportunity for coming into touch with the leaders and his words were, therefore, most significant. He spoke with special emphasis of the universal good will which he everywhere found towards th ! L'nited States, and the high regard which the leading men of Japan hay.' for our country. August —"Work Among the Moun4. tain WHITES." —An Address by Rev. Henry P. Judd. For two years before returning t: Hawaii to take up his present position August 8.—"Some Changes in Chi- na."—An Address by Rev. Wm. B. Stelle of Peking. It has been a long time since Central L'nion Church has heard a stronger, note stirring missionary address than this one of Mr. Strife's, A larger than usual Sunday morning audience wa present to hear him tell of the great transition through which China is passing and of her consequent great need at this time. Mr. and Mrs. Stelle are just returning to their work in Peking after a year's furlough in the home land, and were staying over one steamer with Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Atherton, who are near relatives. REV. CUKTIS E. SHIELDS. as Superintendent of Sunday School August work in the Territory under the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Judd was engaged as Home Missionary of the Presbyter.an Home Mission Board, among the mountain whites of North Carolina and Tennessee. A report of his many interest ing experiences and of the difficulty of work in that mountainous district with its backward, but nevertheless sturdy, people, gave all who were present at the mid-week service, Aug. 4. a most enjoyable and profitable evening. Were it not for the fact that Mr. Judd is so peculiarly adapted for his present position of furthering Sunday School interests among the Hawaiian churches of the islands, it would almost seem to have been a mistake to call him away from a work so needy in which he had already made so splendid a beguiling. «* Young People's Rally. 15.—Union Hawaii was well represented at the International Convention of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor held at St. Paul, four delegates being present from these islands. Sunday evening, August 15, the Young People's Society of the churches of the city met in a Union meeting in Central Union Church to hear the report of the two delegates from Oahu, Rev. M. K. Xakuina and Judge Archibald S. Mahaulu. Judge Mahaulu spoke first and drew som • very helcful lessons from the various experiences which they had on their voyage. Rev. Mr. Naku'na spoke at greater recent (Continued on page 16). �THE FRIEND. 10 Men Working for Men PAUL SUPER The executive force of the Young Men's Christian Asssciation has been strengthened by the addition of Mr. Arthur Edwin Larimer, who began his work as educational and membership The secretary the first of September. in September will be spent in daily conferences on the different departments of the work.

This year we will have "Soldiers and Sailors' Night" once a week. Friday night, for instance, we will have a meeting at the building just for the men of the service. This will be advertised at the various posts, in the papers, and cards will be distributed to the military men on the streets after supper. In this way we should get a good attendance. The men do not like to stay in the post after the work of the day is done, but want to get out for a walk. Many come to town, and not a few of these would be glad to spend an hour of the evening in such a meeting. We have talked to both soldiers and marines about the plan and have reason to believe it will succeed. with the plan. A. E.

While in college, Mr. Larimer took active part in all student activities, representing his college in intercollegiate debat;, tennis, and tract work.

(Concluded from August No.) What transitions of experience- one may pass through in a few hours. At noon we bad left the sea level, at night we were sleeping (?) nearly two miles up in the sky, using the summit of Haleakala for our pillow. I'aid talked about the third heaven, some ambitious people talk about the seventh. As for us, we could not tell just how many heavens there were around us. At least one beautiful heaven rolled far beneath us, the glory gilded clouds, and through the rifts we could look way down upon the green earth and the foam crested sea. The eastern heaven and the western chanted back and forth to each other in answering color tones, and the heaven above smiled down, perhaps most beautiful of all. Then we had spent a whole day in trying to get back to earth again. ()ur destination that day was Kaupo,—a word meaning, "They arrived and it was night,"—well named, it is so many miles from anywhere. Night had come and we had not arrived, but it is needless to say, that after spending that night unsheltered in the rain, the word which the first streak of gray dawn whispered into our ears was "Kaupo." To us there was but one place on earth and that was Kaupo, and we lost no time in making for it. At last, from the high hills we caught sight of the enchanted city.

"The Bible is not true! The sun does not rise, and the stars are fixed in no firmament! The world was not made in six days! We've learned better." Spectacular and easy, this method of teaching! But who is inspired by it to better living? One who indulges in this gospel of negation finds his appetite more and more sharpened for sensation. He may proceed at first timidly, then boldly, and at last find pleasure in the coarse and blatant ravings of the infidel lecturer who said, "There is no God. I defy the Almighty to strike me dead in five minutes." How splendidly Divine it would have been, wouldn't it, if the Almighty had snapped up this opportunity to establish the proof of his own existence! Tt is this spectacular character of negation that catches the popular mind in such articles as those of Harold Bolce in the Cosmopolitan, entitled "Christianity in the Crucible," in which he easily startles the world by selecting from the writings of modern educators, statements which seem to deny the accepted foundations of Christianity. He gives us, for example, under the photograph of Prof. Hoffman of Union College, this quotation: "When we think of Jesus as manifesting to us the Father, we should not attribute to him a divinity different from our divinity', for we are as truly sons of God as was the Nazarene." Perhaps these are the real sentiments of Prof. Hoffman, but we can not help remarking the effect of that negative statement, "we should not attribute to him a divinity different from our divinity." That "not" drags Christ down to our level, and tltere is nothing left except an impression of our own conceit or self-satisfaction in being as divine as He is. Would it not be more becoming as well as inspiring to think positively instead negatively, and to say "The Divine life and character of Testis inspires me to strive for the realization of the divine that there is in me." Let us cultivate the habit of seeing and speaking of the things that are positive. The stand or fall of the Gospel will not be determined by the attitude of educators or of any other class. It will stand if it cultivates in men the spirit of affirmation; if it gives them a ground of faith, to stand on. Tt will fall if it talks in negatives. In the serious business of life we want affirmation not negation, and as long as there are in the world men with positiveness of character, the Gospel of affirmation, the gospel of faith, —will find in them a hearty response. — �September, 1909 THE FRIEND 14 affected, for the idol had no power.

Mr. Wells suggests several interesting lines of study, among ethers Ix-ing a Bible search, a biographical lesson about some of the leaders in temperance reform, a historical study of the temperance movement, a newspa- out current items about inoatsperanee and the campaigns against liquor, a study of maps showing the progress of the prohibition movcn cut, a study of statistics and a lesson on quotations bearing on the topic of temperance. In these and many other ways the pupils may easily become interested in the temperance movement and become good friends of the cause. per study to find GO SLOW. The greatest progress is sometimes made by going slow. The impulsive man of course cannot see how this can be true, but the wise leader knows that it is truth. In introducing new methods into the Sunday School the superintendent must keep cool and at the same time be sure that his school is kept calm. The danger is that the leader in reform drives his school off his feet, losing kpecd instead of making it. One reform introduced, established, retained for ten years is worth more than twenty reforms introducing chaos for a year, cumbering riie school as so much rubbish thereafter. Many a Sunday School ought to have a rummage sale of ill-timed notions that are abused liecausc they caniot be used. QUALIFICATIONS FOR A TEACHER. In the winning of men to Christ it is ether men who are the means. Men who have found the Saviour can tell other men how to find Him. The first qualification of the efficient teacher is that he should be a Christian. His work is for the Gospel of Christ, to bring others to Him and build them up in Christ, so the teacher himself must be a follower of Christ. He should be a Christian in belief, in experience and in example, and should be a teacher not only for the hour in the Sunday School, but also for every day in the week. The teacher should also be a church member, and, more than a member, he should be a working member. Moreover he should be a student ot the Bible, for he is called upon to teach it to others. He must be a teachable student, turning to the Word, seeking its truth to supply the needs of his (lass, and not in a spirit of criticism or to inject into it his own opinions. He must be a thorough student, not only of the lesson but of the whole book and volume containing the lesson, for only as he has a wide knowledge of the Bible as a book can he understand the specific lesson which he must teach his class. He must be a real teacher, not merely in knowledge of the lesson but in the principles and methods of leaching. Hemust fit his lesson to his class, and be able to look at the lesson through the eyes of his class. The teacher must be a friend. His work is with living souls and no intellectual machine can touch living hearts. It is not an easy matter to lead people to Christ. It is not done by imparting knowledge. It is not done by a few earnest words, that is why so many of our efforts fail. We may be earnest enough. We may know the Bible well enough, but we must teach individuals, not classes. We must live close to the pupils. Tt is by personal contact of heart with heart that leads pupils up to the best in'thought and life. A teacher must have heart-power, a capacity to feel with and not for his pupil. To look at the world through his eyes; to have an appreciation of his nature and his surroundings. His friendship will show itself in acts—not great but, in a glance, a word, a little encouragement in time of trouble. These acts are what make a teacher's influence potent. lor 190*).

A., and fed it to give up some of its gospel We are "delighted" that the message. question has been raised, as it gives the Association an opportunity to point out to the public some figures of which the organisation is justly proud. During the past nine years, the period during which the growth from $21,000,-(XTo invested in buildings to $47,000,000 has taken place, the religious activity has more than kept pace with our financial activity. While the value of our equipment has increased 117 per cent., and the amount spent on current expenses 136 per cent., the number of prolesse-il conversions has increased 331; per cent and the number of men and boys enrolled in Bible study 561 per cent. The attendance at meetings held in shops has grown from 76,exx) to 983,-075, while the at.endance at general men's meetings grew from 1,718,000 to 4,906,395. Last year the religious work of the Y. M.

AUGUST 18.—Address iiv Mr. John Akundki. on the Work op Our Missionaries at Nauru. Although not announced as a missionary concert the mid-week service on August 18 was one of the best, most interesting missionary evenings we have had for a long time. And what madeit so was the earnest, and at the same lime most enlightening talk which Mr. John Arundel gave about Nauru in par-in ticular and the South Sea Islands general. Mr. Arundel has large commercial interests in the Pleasant Islands and also in the ( >ccan Islands, and being a most devout Christian man, a man who most surely carries his religion into ev- ery part of his business relations, can toll from first-hand observation, and from his own personal participation about the work which is being done for the Christianisation of the natives of those islands. He spoke in warmest commendation of the splendid work which Mr. and Mrs. De-laporte, Central Union's missionaries at Nauru, are doing and of his own deep interest in their work. Tt was most gratifying to hear of both these things. Surely Central Union is fortunate in having such devoted and capable representatives at this important mission station and the mission is most fortunate in having so good a friend as Mr. Arundel has proved himself to be. Hawaii Cousins The following letter, written by Rev. Claude M. Severence, July 27, 1909, to the Cousins, will be of interest to the kamaainas, especially those of Punahou: "For three years we have lived at 121 W 90th St., N. Y. City, and have allowed the home address of Mrs. Severance to continue the same. Probably it is j.isi as well to keep the same address, as we always receive the annual report in due time, which is of great interest to me,—having spent a year as teacher at ()ahu College. "I am not sure that I ever reported to you my second marriage, July Bth, 1901 to Minnehaha Schnabel, a renowned Gospel singer who studied music eight years in Germany. She has sung THE FRIEND tc the benefit of thousands in Germany, Switzerland and the U. S. She goes with an evangelist at times, visiting Walkcrton, Ontario; Detroit.

"I think I never wrote you that Jan. 15th, 1903 Claude M.

"I heard the Rev. Dr. Bingham make his last public address at Plymouth Church and the spiritual atmosphere of the occasion overtopped all kinds of theology. He was truly a man of God. "I never shall forget the wholesome influence of your monthly meetings, and wish I could bring my family to one of them some day. You would call my wife a 'Cousin' at once and fall in love with her, for every one does. "Wishing you all a prosperous new year, I am, "Very respectfully yours, "CLAUDE M. SEVERANCE." Among many testimonials to the suc- cess of Mrs. Severance as a Gospel sing- er, Louis Albert Banks of the Christian Endeavor World writes, New York, August 22, 1899. "Fifteen years ago I was pastor of a church in Boise City, Idaho (the birthplace of Mrs. Severance), and among my parishioners was a family by the name of Schnabel. Their grounds adjoined 17 those of the parsonage in the rear of the church, and as they were our next-door neighbors, as well as a very interesting fjmily, we became very well acquainted with them. A few years afterward Mr. Sclmabel decided to take his family to Germany and leave them there for a few years that his daughters might have the ot portunity to avail themselves of the 1est musical teaching in the world. Time pasted on, and Minnie, four years under Prof. Stockhausen, the best of teachers, and pouring her whole soul into her music, rapidly developed into a splendid Later, while she was preparsinger. operatic stage at Frankfort for the ing on-thc-Main, under Mme. Helcne Gunter, an event tool; place that changed the whole current of her life. She had been going to church since she was a little child, but had never become definitely and personally a Christian. One day she heard a sermon in a private chapel in Frankfort; and as she listened like a flash of lightning the question came to her 'What is my life worth?' and she had no peace after that until she had answered it by giving her heart and voice to Christ. She returned to this country, and has been singing with great blessing, in many parts of the country." The Chautauqua Assembly Herald says: "Mrs. Claude M. Severance, of New York City, sang a solo which appealed to those present on account of voice and technique." Evangelist Mathew Small, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "The music you make is the very voice of Heaven to the hearts of your hearers. You surpass all others in producing a strange, sweet, sacred peace and pleasure in people's souls." A letter from Frances E. Ellis, 22 Peterborough St., Roston, says: "I was deeply stirred by reading in the H. M. C. Annual Report of the life of Dr. Beckwith and of Dr. Bishop. How fortunate you were to have them, with all their ability, sacrifice and achieveI knew Mr. Thomas Gulick ments. when he was in Boston several years ago and had many interesting talks with him about the Cousin's Society and other interesting matters pertaining to the islands. I also met Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick the last time she was in Boston and was deeply struck by her patience and fortitude and her Christian manner. "For fifteen years I was secretary of the "Ladies Foreign Missionary Society" of Essex St. church but for the last ten years I have been partly paralized and do not go about much but read a great deal and I know that in the fullness of time the Lord will claim His own.

It presents clearly the "reason for the hope that is in us." Many a man becomes a Christian from the sincerest motives and because his hungry soul finds in Christian teaching the bread that satisfies; but not having reali7xd the importance of testing beforehand the foundations of his faith, he afterwards becomes the easy prey of doubts and the ingenious arguments of scoffers.

Alexander; Juliette M-. widow of the late J. B. Atherton; and Mary A., widow of the late Charles Turner, more widely known as .Mints Montague. Honolulu was a very quiet corner of the earth in the Fifties and Sixties, and, under the care and direction of such parents, the development of any other than a Stirling character was hardly possible. The Cookes were educators, and in the family the Laril of a sound education was laid, followed by years of telling work at Puna1k v, and his schooling was completed b\ a year or two at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Returning to the Islands in 1871, Mr. Cooke entered the employ of the old firm of Castle & Cooke, which was founded by his father and Mr. S. N. Castle. At the time of his entry into business, the fit m comprised S. N. Castle, J. P. Cooke, T. B. Athcrton and the ITstate of A. S. Cooke. Mr. Castle taught book-keeping to a good inanv of the young men of those days, and all of the business institution and training Charles had was derived from this teaching. Tn later years he was recognised as one of the finest accountants in the country. At first, assistant, he soon became head book-keeper and cashier in the growing and important business of that concern. But. partly because he felt that others of the young nun of the families had claims on the firm and in part because he was stirred to strike out for himself, be accepted an offer from Lewers and P'ckson, and, with Robert Lewers, became a partner with Joshua G. Dickson. This was in 1877. Mr. Dickson died i' Tidy. 1880. Within a few months the "surviving partners bought the interest oi the Dickson Estate and launched the new firm of Lewers and Cooke, which continued to carry on the lumber business began so many years before by C. H. Lewers. This is now the well-known corporate concern called Lewers and Cooke, Limited, with wnich Mr. Cooke at tht was still connected as directorsince, his though, long death, his time of F.

He took hold of established si,gar plantations and did much in reel ganization and other ways to make them paying concerns. He believed that our industrial field offered rare opportunities for the useful investment of capital, and urged the establishment of another bank which should be owned and controlled by the business men of the community. During these years he became an acknowledged financial leader. But his energies were not confined to the sugar and mercantile industries. Appreciating the danger of depending on a single industry he urged the establishment of other enterprises and joined heartily in formulating plans to establish the growth of tea and coffee on a firm commercial basis. He was a director and deeply interested in the Kon Coffee and Tea Plantation, and, though it fa led, he often said that the experience was not lost; it would result in good to the Islands eventually. The correctness of his judgment has since been amply demtmst rated. In 1807 the Bank of Hawaii was organized and opened its doors Decembc* 27. He was one of its charter members, but as the family was then residing M California he declined active participa tion in its affairs. Following the deal of Ned Jones and the temporary retirement of Mr. P. C. Jones from active business, he however finally accepted with some reluctance, the presidency ot the bank and assumed the duties of tinposition in September. 1898. At that time the bank had a paid-up capital ol $300,000, but through his energy am' able leadership its business so developed and increased, despite the establishment cf two other banks and two trust companies since 1898, that when he laid as de active leadership January 1. 1909.. it ha<' a paid-up capital of $000,000, undiv'ded profits of nearly $500,000 more, and the largest banking business in the Terri tory. It is almost true that he had the golden touch. Nearly everything he became interested in and labored for was prosperous. To illustrate the truth of this, one only has to remember the names of some of his enterprises—Ewa, Waialua. Lihue, Koloa. Hawaiian Agricultural. Fohala, Wailuku, Wahiawa, Brewer Co., the Bank of Hawaii, with its subsidiary banks on Kauai and Maui. At the time of his death he was President of the Bank of Hawaii. Brewer &• Com- : •» the Hawaiian Agricultural Company, and he was still an active director in many other corporations. Those who have dealt with Mr. Cooke will testify to his rare business ability. He was shrewd, yet bold: conservative, yet far sighted. One quality, which has had a fine influence in Hawaii, was h s unfailing optimism. It was always present and vigorously exercised when most needed, and has done much to sustain when everything appeared dark and hopeless to others. All will remember bow perfectly cool and confident he was during the sudden panic of 1007, when our close relations with New York seemed to render disaster here certam. Always cordial and courteous, it was a pleasure to deal with him, and though one could not always succeed in interestinir him in some business enterprise vet disappointment was tempered by his s\ mpathetic kindness. To those who only met Mr. Cooke in the walks of business, it would seem that tbe story of his life was completed with the commercial history of Ivs times and hi.i connection therewith. But to those who knew him well, business was only one side of the largeness of his nature, and the sweetest and best was found in hit social, religious and domestic life. April 30, 1874. he was married to Anna C. Rice, daughter of the late William Rice, of Lihue, Kauai. Of the issue of this marriage all live but two, and all have settled in Hawaii, becoming useful and valuable citizens, thus following in the footsteps of their father. They arc C. Montague Cooke, Clarence 11. Cooke. George P. Cooke, Richard A. Cooke, Alice T. Cooke and Theodore A. CookeExcept the two last named all are engaged in business. Everyone who had the privilege of entering his home learned to admire the spirit there manifested. Ii is not too much to say that in his home, with his family, Mr. Cooke's life and influence were nearly perfect. "His children will rise up and call him blessed" can truly be said of his family. As business developed and his circumstances became easy: with his wife he became a patron of art, and the beautiful things with which his houses abound, tfstify to their good taste and judgment. He believed too in the high educational value of good pictures, statuary and other art products. : (Continued on Page 21). �THE FRIEND. 8 October. 1909 PBROIJTGECHFYEAR. BUWILDAHNEGYIS NEEDED. The present huildit g occupied by the Young Men's Christian Association was built twenty-seven years ago. For that day its arrangement was excellent, providing as it did a reading room, game room and a large assembly hall. Tbe Association in those days was not looked upon strictly as a social center, but largely as a center for religious gather- position. The Association has found its mission to these boys anel much tnemey and time are being devoted to boys' work. The old building has occupied a place of large usefulness and real service in the community. Has not the time come when the business men of Hawaii will provide this institution with a buileling which will enable us to take advantage of the years of Association experience here and elsewhere, and develop an organization that will fill the large vacant place in the life of the average young ings.

Since then the Association has had another vision of opportunity, and now sees that perhaps its best approach to the heart of a man is througii his social nature. When the old lady in the poor house was asked how she spent her time, she said: "Sometimes I sits an' thinks, an' sometimes I jist sits." This plan of life was very well for the old lady, but the modern young man is built on more strenuous lines than "jist sittin' and thinkin.'" He must have something to occupy his time, and if he cannot find it where the influences are good, experience shows that he will find it somewhere else. Occupation he must have. So the Association building of today is a great social center and reaches young men from this most approachable side of their natures. It now plans to occuply all a man's spare time, giving him no excuse for going to the bad. The present Y. M. C. A. building is not so equipped. It has practically no equipment for social work, and its provisions for educational and physical activities are entirely outgrown. Another serious defect in the present equipment is that no rooms are provided for the boys under eighteen. Recent years of research have impressed it upon the educators of our nation that the critical period in a boy's life is the years between twelve and eighteen. Home interests and influences are insufficient even at their best, and where the home influence is bad or indifferent the adolescent boy is indeed in an unfortunate LOBBY. SPOKANE Y. M. C. A.

Ninety-five per cent of the men of the country, educators tell us, have received no preparation for their specific life work. Only a small per cent of boys go beyond �10 the eighth grade in our public schools, and many drop out of school altogether at the age of fifteen to go to work. The Young Men's Christian Association, by providing night schools,, and a special course of instruction to meet the needs of these men and older boys, is continually calling tbe youth of the city to higher efficiency through education, and its call is being heard. The International Committee of Y. M. C. A.'s ranks the Honolulu Association among the highest in the percentage of its members in educational classes. As its equipment is improved, its call will be heard by more, until the less fortunate men and boys oi the city, those for whom the Government has made no provision whatever along celucational lines, will have an opportunity of earning a better living, and getting more out of life because of better preparation for their volition.

UILDINGS ACMYB INW THE EST The Western States during the past few years have been experiencing a most remarkable era of building activity. Ihe Y. M. C. A. —always an expression of the best life of the city—has naturally shared in this movement, and now every city west of the Rocky Mountains has either erected a large modern Y. M. C. A. building or has money raised lor that purpose. Ihe West is not held back by precedent, and is continually on the lookout for new ideas promoting efficiency, and has seized upon the V M. C. A. with a most encouraging enthusiasm. Buildings costing from $50,-000 to over half a million have been erected in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Salt Lake, Riverside, Stockton, Spokane and other cities. Los Angeles has completed a magnificent structure costing over $600,000. The . Y. M. C. A. BIBLE CLASS, M A KINK BARRACKS.

In this way the Association is making a large contribution to the religious, civic and business life of tbe cities on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountans.

Friendship, safeguarding of character, lack of solituele—these are the values, says President Tbwing of Western Reserves University, that characterize tbe college dormitory. If the young man in college—the ideal environment for friendships, in an atmosphere intended primarily to focter and develop character, meeting daily with many other men of like interests —needs some means of supplying friendship ,ot safeguarding character and preventing solitude, how much more does a young man in the city need them. Young men coming from the Coast and going to work in our local establishments, frequently remaining in the city months and even years, forming few friendships,—and some of these not uplifting,—need some such institution as an association dormitory, where they will be thrown daily into constact with men of clean character and high ideals. If the young man is not a church goer—and only one young man in five belongs to the church —his opportunities for forming wholesome friendships are even less, and bis need of the dormitory greater. Happily, this class of men will come to the Association where they will not go to the church. Many of us who have lived in college dormitories know that it is there that we have formed our richest and most uplifting friendships, lo these friends we have gone with our difficulties and temptations and problems, our Hopes and our successes, and found in their companionship and sympathy the necessary stimulus to work for the best things in life. The average young man coming into the city has had no such opportunity and the privilege of the Association of supplying these elements in the lives of young men is very great. But the positive work of supplying men with the opportunity of forming friendships is, perhaps, exceeded by the opportunity of safeguarding the welfare of those whose characters have not yet been formed and, in other cases, providing a wholesome environment in which men who have made a failure in other places can start again. Many a time during these past three years that we have been Secretary in Honolulu we could have helped a man onto his feet and into character if we had had an Association dormitory, in which the men could have lived during the formative or rebuilding period. Without a dormitory the Association influence can touch a man but a small number of hours each day; with an Association �October, 1909. 11 THE FRIEND.

Central Union is at last to have a Completely Graded Bible School following a i\ stematically graded course of study. At the September meeting of the officers and teachers it was voted to adopt the Blakeslee System beginning June i, ioio The committee, to whom the matter was referred, found it advisable, since the Blakeslee Lessons are undergoing a complete revision, to put in several books of equally high standard from the University of Chicago Press. By next year the new series now being prepared by the Bible Study Union (Blakeslee) will be complete and will be adopted throughout all the grades. The course as now selected for 1910 is as follows : Primary Department. Grade 1, age 6. "Child Religion in Song and Story" by Chamberlain and Kern. Grade 2 and 3, ages 7 and 8. "God's Loyal Children," by Cutting and Walkley. Junior Department. Grades 4 and 5, ages 9 and 10. "Early Heroes and Heroines," by Kent and Hunting. Grade 0, age IX. "The Life of Jesus," by Gates.

In the Senate of the United States, April 19, 1909. Mr. Johnson, of North Dakota, introduced the following; bill which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. A Bill to prohibit selling of intoxicating beverages in Territory of Hawaii. Be it enacted by the Senate and House or Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assemblcel. That any person, except agents hereinafter specified, who shall manufacture or sell, directly or indirectly, or expose for sale oi advertise as for sale in saiel Territory any vinous, malt, or fermented liquors oi any other intoxicating beverages of any kind whatsoever, or shall knowingly allow such manufacture or sale in any shop, restaurant, hotel, drug store, or building or premises which he owns o' controls, or who shall give away any inte xicating drink except in his own private residence, shall be punished by I fine not exceeding five hundred dollars and by imprisonment for not less than one month nor more than five years, with fe>rfeiture to the Territory of all liquors and bar-room fixtures and furniture found on the premises; and it shall be the duty of district attorneys and of all executive officers to prosecute all violations of this Act. Sec. 2. That for a second or subsequent conviction the fine and imprisonment shall be double that of the preceding conviction, and in case of a land- anel man ? Here is a chance. It is plain that Hawaii the beautiful is to be Hawaii the strong, the citadel of American sea-power, a working model e>f American civilization. The loveliness remains and will remain. But islanel life has sheel the quiet rainbow circumflex, and moves henceforth with the acute accent. Strength means ability and opportunity, and these, together, mean responsibility. We have come to the day of tie powerful. The readers of The Friend are the most powerful people of these islands. Human life in the Islands is like the land—luxuriant to windward, but weak on the lee side. The readers of The Friend have the windward of Hawaiian life. Generations of good blood pour self-control and self-respect into their veins. The trade wind of mampenticosts blows cool and sweet through all the chambers of their consciousness. Wealth and influence are in their hands by inheritance and achievement. Over the range is desert; and he is very deaf who does not hear it cry for help that it too may bloom anel bear. Help has been given, royally and courteously, and none of it in vain. But the liquor traffic, the tare-sower-chartered by law, is wiser and busier than church or school,—the mortal enemy of every thing that lives, from protoplasm to philosophy. October, iejog. Let us face the facts. There are more drink shops, licensed anel illicit, than churches. The Hawaiian Board is no match for the brewery. The police powt- is incapable of enforcing even the restrictive features of the license law. The open saloon should be wipeel out. The legitimate use and sale of alcoholic diinks should be carefully guarded. brewery should be put out of business, ar worthless and dangerous. These are the subjects, it is true, of the local police power. But the liquor power is greater than the present local police power. And this is no unhearel-of crndition. Tt is matched by the corporation problem. Corporations arc created by states and are subject to their will. Put corporations do business in the othe • states, and it has been found that nothing short of federal power is able to keep them in control. Tbe suppression of the drink traffic in the islands is work which only the fc' eral government can elo. Tt will be done if tbe readers of The Friend desire it earnestly enough. The following is a passage from a letter T have just received from one of the nation's strong men in Washington: 'T am much interested in what you are doing in Hawaii. Tt looks to me as if you were getting things hi line for prohibition at the hands of Congress. 1 believe you are on the right track and that you will win if your support in the islands is strong." Aye. but will it he strong enough? The Johnson bill, which is included in this article, is a moderate measure. It leaves private hospitality untrammeled Tt provides the means of getting necessary liquors; but it outlaws dram-making and dram-selling. The federal government is able to enforce its laws, far more effectively than can be done by local officers, with local laws. Tts officers arc detached from local considerations, and have no business but to make good in their positions. The local constabulary arc hindered and weakened in many ways. T give herewith a brief list of men in Congress who would presumably be favorable to the Johnson bill: Senators. Post Office address. "Senate, Washington, D. C T. P. Dolliver, M. N. Tohnson. W. P.

Hayashi, who for twelve years has been the force'fill editor in chief of the principle Japanese paper in Kona a secular paper called the Kona Hankyo. (Echo) —recently published a leading — article on the subject, "Reasons Tor the Necessity of Evangelists in Every Plantation." Without giving his arguments in detail, we mention here the seven reasons he advanced in his outspoken advocacy of Christian work, which are the more remarkable inasmuch as he himself is not a Christian. (t"0. Not all Japanese here are Buddhists. They are free to choose the best religion, and therefore they shoubl have the importunity to learn of and to embrace Christianity. (2). Unlike Buddhism, Christianity is positive, not negative in its teachittg and practice. Tt exerts itself for the correction of hael customs and evil practices, and works for the social betterment of the people; for example. Buddhism is not ashamed of having women of ill repute even in connection with its temples, but Christianity rebukes :mpuritv wherever it may exist. This is one of the great reasons why evangelists should be stationed in every plantation. (3). Christ'an evangelists »*» m*«i with world-wide conceptions, and not bmited by merely Japanese considerations. This is a characteristic that qualifies them to be leaders. (4). There is a need of interpreters in whom both the manager and the people can have confidence. The evangelists generally have this confidence and have sufficient knowledge of English to be of great service in this respect. (5). The evangelist stands in the respect of the Manager, and being a Christion, be is more capable of understanding the Manager's point of view. Tlvs enables him to mediate more intelligently. (6). He visits the people and shows true sympathy for them in their trials. He is needed among us for his sympathetic manner. (7). He opens night schools and classes of all kinds to teach the people. He is necessary to us as an educator. We congratulate Kona on having, as the editor of it's chief medium of communication, a man like Dr. Hayashi. who has the courage of his convictions, speaking out what he believes to be for the welfare of the people even though his views must be unacceptable to a large part of his Buddhist constituency; and incidentally it looks to us like a high compliment to our evangelist, Mr. Okamura, that such an article should appear in the field in which he has been working. You can "Eat your cake and have it" in a very real sense. You can give away your property and have it,—really enjoy it, as long as you live. You couldn't have it longer than that anyway.

DAMON "The realization of the ideal of yesterday and the substitution of the ideal of today are the conditions of progress. A Splendid Forward Movement. Most heartily in accord is The Friend in all its departments, with the whole souled and enthusiastic effort of the Y. M. C. A. of our city to advance its most beneficent work. No feature of its many sided activity is more helpful anel far-reaching in its results than its educational work. Most fitting do we regard it that, in this special issue in company with the reports here presented from a number of our schools to draw attention to the efforts made by this vigorous Association along educational lines. May all success crown the efforts to be made to provide a suitable home for its multifold activities. Last year in the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu there were enrolled: Anglo-Saxon 63 x3 Hawaiian Portuguese 22 Chinese 16 Total 114 Class fees paid $8% of the expenses of instruction. Over half of these students were between ihe ages of 15 and 20. on the opening day, but have also enrolled our full number of pupils on the first day of school. This is worthy of mention as our records do not showany such enrollment on the first day of school in years past. "We have spent a most enjoyable anel profitable year at Hampton, not only tne Hampton which General Armstrong founded, but the Hampton in which the spirit of General Armstrong still lives." The "Friend" wishes it might be able to reproduce here the extremely interesting article which recently appeared in the "Hilo Tribune relative to the great improvements in the school, but as our limits elo not permit of this, we must content ourselves with a few words: "One of the important features of the industrial work will be the use of a great deal of ne wequipment which Mr. anel Mrs. Lyman brought back with them from the mainland. "Mr. Chaves of the Ontario Agricultural College experimental station, will have charge of the agricultural and industrial branch of the work. It is the aim of the school to give its pupils such training in the methods of modern dairyindustry as will enable them to contribute toward the elevation of the local elairy industry to modern lines. For the printing shop of the school a lot of newtype has been secured, as well as a paper cutter of modern make. This department will be in charge of Miss Blanche Miller. As a matter of fact, the school is now excellently equipped and so thoroughly prepared to give its pupils a valuable agricultural and industrial course, in addition to the ordinar) school branches, that it is proposed to give up the primary branch of the school. The argument in favor of this plan is that the primary pupils might get their instruction in the public schools, and the accommodations which are occupied by the primary pupils might then be used by older students altogether." We teach such subjects as BOOKKEEPING, SHORTHAND. T/PI-WRITING, ENGLISH, COMMERCIAL LAW, ARITHMETIC. ALGEBRA, SALESMANSHIP, and a special course for working boys who have left school dt the age of 15, teaching them ENGLISH, ARITHMETIC. PENMANSHIP, GEOGRAPHY and HISTORY.

The year promises exceedingly well. So much of hope is always seen in a large company of the young gathered together that their very presence acts as ar inspiration to all. The new shops are this year well started and are already turning out productive work. During the year just closed two new cottages for married teachers were completed and the coming year one more will be finished. The Association in Osaka, Japan, has on the young men of the city through its educational work.

K FACENTS W AWAIAHAO SEMINARY. We are happy to note the most encouraging progress in the work of the Seminary under the efficient leadership of Miss Boshcr. Principal, and her fine corps of instructors. The new year has opened most prosperously. The enrollment is large, well up to the hundred mark with more to come. We are pleased to have the following statement with reference to those who have joined the Faculty this year: 17 "Kawaiahao Seminary, now the Girls' commodate in the neighborhood Department of the Mid-Pacific Institute, students in night school work. is to be congratulated on being able to secure such able helpers as join the teaching force. "Miss Lucy Tappan, of Gloucester. Massachusetts, is to organize the begin ning e>f the High School course.

Kinney, a graduate O* ( tbcrlin College, and for several years a most successful teacher in San Diego anel later at Miss Head's School in Berkeley, will add greatly to the strength of the teaching force in the grade work. "The Nursing department will be in charge of Miss Leora Worthington, a graeluate of Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington; St. Luke's Hospital and Sloane's Maternity Hospital, New York city. Under Miss Worthington's able instruction, the seminary hopes to develop a nursing course that will train the girls to do efficient nursing in our island homes. "Miss Wrorthington's sister. Miss May Worthington, also a graduate of Whitman College, is to be housekeeper anel in charge of the Domestic Science classes. There will be special cooking classes for the girls in the higher grades. "So great has been the demand for girls to do simple sewing in homes, that the Sewing Department, which was so skilfully handled and developed by Mrs Franklin Burt, is to be given an assistant teacher—Mrs. Annie L. Houghton. "With a constantly increasing number of Oriental students, the demand for courses in their own languages has led to the engaging of a native Chinese and native Japanese teacher to take charge of the courses in Oriental languages "The new school year will open September 13, and there is every indication of a larger enrollment than that of this past year." The local Association will have from 150 to 160 different students in its night school this year. An educational director has been employed, to give most of his time to educational work. He should succeed in developing a very large educational ?cork. The projected building should provide for an equipment to ac- of 300 INSMWTULESTARTED. A few months more this school, with representatives from other schools affi- liated with the "Mid-Pacific Institute." namely "The Japanese Boarding School" and "The Korean School" of the M. E. Mission, will be busily at work in the splendid school home now nearing complction in beautiful Manoa Valley. Judging by the statement kindly lent us by President Merrill we have reason to believe that this year will prove one of the most successful in its history: "Mills Institute opened its eighteenth year on September 13th. The enrollment in the Boarding and Day Departments is 163 of whom nine are Japanese and ten Koreans. The dormitories are uncomfortably crowded and a number of applicants have been placed on the waiting list. Efforts are now being made to secure rooms in the neighborhood of the school for dormitory purposes. Four new students have just arrived from China and entered upon a four years' course in the school. "There are two new teachers on the faculty this year: Mr. J. Glen Hammond, of Colorado College, and Mr. Ralph J. Richardson, of Dartmouth College. The other teachers are, in the English and Commercial departments. Mr. R. Wallen and Miss Flora Cannon, and, in the Chinese department. Mr Tong Kwan Van and Mr. Pak Chan. "The High School department is now well started with a Freshman class of ten. "The students this year are an exceptionally fine appearing lot of young men and boys. The school should have a successful year." An important feature of Association work in future will be the co-ordinating of its work with that of the various missions about town, giving these missions the benefit of the supervision of a man specially trained in the promotion of this type of educational work.

In addition to his work in the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Shimamori's services were sought in various other directions. As a preacher he was forceful and he willingly responded to frequent invitations to the different Japanese Churches in the city and elsewhere, and his influence in promoting interdenominational friendship was noteworthy.

A large audience of Japanese from different Churches and a goodly number of American friends gathered to welcome the new pastor and his wife. Welcome and congratulatory aeldresscs were given by Rev. C. Nakamura, representing the Methodist Churches, Mr. T. I Tata, representing the Nuuanu Church, and by a representative of the Hawaiian Board. Special music was rendered by the Church choir. These formal exercises were followed by a friendly half hour during which refreshments were served and persons were introduced, sometimes merrily two or three times over, to help the pastor remember their names. Mr. Hori speaks English fluently, a fact which ought to help enlist the co-operation of the American community, and it is our hope and prayer that pastor anel people are happily married in Christian service for the effectiv upbuilding of the Master's Kingdom. no| only in that part of the city. but in tbe broad spirit of fellowship with all ( Mians. |/s ' \y Ii .

Owing to the lack of fences around the majority of the houses, the horses and cattle that happen along will eat off and trample the young trees, and all the children of the camp will regard the flowers as raised for the special delectation of their mischievous little fingers; in se>me places, water must be carried quite a distance; and after all, what inspiration is there for a tired laborer at the close of a strenuous day, to work on at home improvement? For the most part he is unmarried; what interest can home have for him? His room is merely a roof to sleep under, and to be changed when he gets tired, perchance, for one on some other plantation. Even if he is married, his wife goes out with him te work in the field, so the situation is not much changed. He is in the business for money, nothing else. But here and there some get attach eel to the soil, and among such there is hope that with proper encouragement, the home idea may begin to shoot, ami that manhood, womanhood and the well being of childhood may come to be regarded, at least, on a par with the val of money. 19 but we have the same name.

Early in life he united with Fort Street Church and has ever since remained a consistent and untiring church member and Christian. Even here his rare business qualifications were most important, for business energy and tact are as much needed in the church as in sugar growing or banking, and when the difficult task of uniting the Bethel Union and Fort Street Churches arose, he was one whose resourcefulness was most called upon. He became a charter member of the Central Union Church and has ever since been a member of its Board of Trustees and many years its chairman. For several years he was Superintendent of the Sunday School and ever and always foremost in promoting the true interests of the church. This notice would be incomplete anel the most notable feature of his life would be omitted, were his benevolence.? and public gifts to go unmentioned. Always generous, yet that generosity arose to munificence during the later years of his life. He had acquired, through his efforts and fine abilities, a considerable fortune. But he never forgot that with wealth came increased responsibility to others, anel most nobly has he responded. The public does not know of the numberless gifts from his hands and his wife's, but very many of the sick and unfortunate are full of lasting gratitude for the timely aid which has come unostentatiously from them. While actively engaged as President of Brewer & Company, be gave all of bis salary to the Pension Fund established tor their employes, and as President of the Bank of Hawaii a half of his salary has been given to the same fund in the Bank. The great causes of missionary enterprise, education, hospitals, public charities, have received princely gifts from them, not once, not twice, but year after year. To them we owe the Aquarium at Waikiki.

M In order te> keep in touch with actual conditions in our Sunday schools and churches, it is necessary to make frequent tours of the various islands. It was my good fortune to have made the circuit of East Maui in the early part of September with Rev. R. B. Dodge, the agent of the Hawaiian Board, and Rev. E. B. Turner of Paia. A few days spent in Wailuku made a delightful prelude to the tour. On Saturday, Sept. 4th, I set out on the trip, my destination that evening being Kanaio. An interesting break in the afternoon's ride was the witnessing of the launching of a large Japanese fishing boat at Kihei. The whole population was on the bead to see the proudly-bedecked craft glide. Kanaio was reached by star-light and a cordial welcome awaited me at the home of Judge Guy S. Goodness. The next morning a Communion service was held in the church anel tho the attendance was not large the meeting was most helpful. Later in the morning; I held a Communion service at Ulupalakua and baptized six persons. Judge Goodness interpreted my sermon there and at Makena in the afternoon for another Communion service where I baptized four more persons. Quite a large number were at the latter service, having awaited our arrival since the closing of the Sunday school hour in the morning. After this Makena meeting 1 rode through the Kula district to the home of Mr. J. W. Fleming of Makawao and it was good to receive a warm welcome from these friends after a few hours of riding in the dark and rainynight along strange roads. Monday morning Messrs. Dodge, Turner ar| d I met at Makawao and our joint tour was now in full swing.

Tt is well worth the trouble and trivial inconveniences. Our night in the Craigalea house and morning along the rim of the crater and crossing through to the Kaupo gap were passed without special incident, and the Katipo church was reached shortly after the hour appointed for our service there. The people refreshed us with sweet oranges and seemed pleased to see the travel-stained riders. We could not make a long stay with them but it was long enough to talk over certain matters.

It is valuable as a Directory for reference. 1 realize every year how happy a thing it is that at the beginmg ot the Micronesian Mission the children of the Hawaiian missionaries organized to support one of their number, Rev. Halsey Gulick going to Micronesia. The result has been the great work performeel by the Mission Children in Hawaii —a development of what evidently is to be the final missionary work in each group of the Pacific Islands, the work of transforming new non-Christian populations crming into the islands. So Hawaii seems to have a mission like that of the Lnited States. The latter country began with the best population of Europe, the Puritans, the Covenrnters and the Hugenots that it might become subseejuently a school for enlightening and evangelizing the worst populations of Europe coming to America, as well as a radiat'ng center for inflicnccs on the rest of the world. Hawaii received of the best people of the world, for such were our missionary fathers, and now, non-Christian populations coming into Hawaii are to be enlightened and evangelized. There is no lack of these non-Christians. The agriculturists are ransacking the world to get them and have drawn them from every zone but the Arctic and AntarcticThe following letter, written by Miss Kusaie, Caroline Islands. will be of interest in showing the unreliability of mails, as well as of special irterest to those who know about the press sent by the "Cousins."

But as I knew that Mr. Walkup had been in Honolulu in the meantime, with his new Hiram Bingham, I hoped you might have hear from him about my press, which he bi ought down as far as Butaritari where it has been these last four months. Y-iii may be surprised that I did not e>rder my press through the American Board. At the time T sent the order (April, 1908), I fully expected to pay for it myself, and did not wish anything tc prevent its coming. Therefore I sent the order direct to the manufacturers, and hence Mr. Wiggin and the American Board did not know about it. When the notice of your gift came, I sent an additional order to the Board for book binding materials, etc.. using the extra $25.00 as my first order only amounted to about $100.00. I hope both the press and this additional order will soon arr*ve.

She has a good right to be on the inside, and we welcr;me her to it as another representative of the Richards family. Her first name comes from her grandmother, the wife of Prof. Fisk P. Brewer, known to some of us -n the years prior to 1840 as our friend and schoolmate. Tulia Maria R'chards. But her second name points out the more remarkable fact that she is a lineal descendant fiom Tonathan Edwards, and not only from his first child but through an unbroken line of eldest children. The Sec- retary is going to see if she will not throw us a blossom from this straight stem.

This book contains a series of lectures elelivered by a noted pastor before the Johns Hopkins Meelical School on a subject which now occupies so large a place in Christian thought. The title might be improved, bin the book is full of sound common sense, readable as a novel and a real inspiration to health, emphasizing the possibility and the duty of utilizing more fully the patient's inner spiritual energies in the treatment of disease. It is not a call to blind faith, but a faith grounded in God's clear purposes. "(iod wills health for us. It is not God's will that any one of us should suffer." Pain is not a punishment, but a friendly monitor. "It is both foolish and wicked to endure ill health and disease so long as there is any hope or means of cure." "People must be taught not to give up to sickness but to resist it just as they resist sin."
