Stone should have begun to see and proclaim the menace of Asiatic industrialism to our own national development. Turning his newspaperman's genius for marshaling facts to this field, he shows how India is ready to try a fall with America in cotton, how Japan is gathering the carrying trade of the great ocean into her hands, and how China with her vast resources in iron and coal and grain fields is commencing to conjure with these in the domain of world commerce. The East with its cheap labor and untiring industry threatens the West with a conflict that bodes no good to our boasted high standard of living. At the centenary of the American Board, President Capen, himself a business leader and a civic reformer, put the case squarely to the workingman of the United States by showing him that he must cease holding his Asiatic brother aloof and get into closer touch with him in the hope of inoculating that brother with his own ambitions for larger life, that is for the higher wages and improved labor conditions which make for better living. Prosaic necessity to survive must bring him to this stand. It is refreshing to see such leaders of mainland thought at last recognizing doctrines of which Hawaii has been conscious for years, and which The Friend has long endeavored to drum into the minds of its mainland constituents. Little by little the dog in the manger policy pursued by our nation towards the Asiatic in denying him the privilege of naturalization and in refusing to admit him to the country on terms of equality with other peoples is being recognized as suicidal in the long run. It is but another proof that the right way is the wise way. The American people may be trusted ere long to see the point and to Square themselves with the Asiatic world by undoing the injustice. Meanwhile, let the merry dance of enlightenment go on. 3 No. 12 cation. The wonderful work of Chicago's Commercial Club in its campaign for the new Chicago, Boston's unique 1915 movement and the nation's plans for Washington set side by side with the outcome of the effort to develop the natural beauty of Honolulu, organized here some years ago when Landscape Engineer Robinson was brought from the mainland, is somewhat humiliating. The most distressing evidence of our worse than carelessness is our post office squabble. Years have been wasted and we are no nearer a solution of the difficulty than when we began. Large considerations of beauty and utility demanded the site on Palace Square. But business interests demurred and the Mahuka location was pressed upon the national government. Now at vastly increased cost we confront a cumbersome legal process to secure an adequate site for a building which will always be an eyesore because located where it should not be. What is needed is a revival of civic pride and civic unselfishness. Meantime every set back to the progress of locating the building at King and Fort Street is a providential blessing. If fate only is kind enough to keep on blocking this menace to Honolulu the Beautiful, Washington may yet make up to her duty to place the post office where it ought to be, on the Irwin site in Palace Square. * That Loving Cup.

They were preceded by the usual exaggerated rhetoric, the picturesque distortion of truth and the customary "I'm angel, you're demon party declarations that condition the typical political campaign here. The outcome was generally good, that is a large number of excellent citizens were chosen to office. The parties seem to have named better candidates than usual. The new legislature, especially the House, is the best since Hawaii became a Territory. It ought to enact good laws. It looks as though education were at last to have a fair chance in the islands. Honolulu's city government also is in good hands. Mayor Fern's re-election was expected. The attempt to unseat turn is beneath contempt. In elections costing both sides what ours do, for one party to charge the other with shady practices is a pitiable instance of the pot calling the kettle black. After playing the game as it is played on these islands, even the kind of honor that prevails among professionals should make the loser take his luck more like a sport. Sheriff Jarrett's strength seems due to a conduct of his office that has eliminated the petty thefts and housebreakings so common a few years ago and given us what may perhaps be called a fairly efficient police. THE CASE OF DELEGATE KALANIANAOLE. It is not a pleasant task but it is a pubIk duty to set forth the truth in the matter of Mr. Kalanaianaole's relation to the late plebiscite campaign. It is an unquestioned fact that the Senate Committee would have reported favorably the Curtis Pill to prohibit the liquor traffic in Hawaii if Mr. Kalanianaole had not urged a plebiscite. hearing before the Committee rritories of the House of Repreives on the question of a joint resoproviding for a special prohibition election in Hawaii, Hon. J. G. Wooley stated, "With the earnest cooperation of the Prince [Kalanianaole] which is now assured, and under his leadership, we shall doubtless carry the Territory for a prohibitory policy." Mr. Kalanianaole was present and participated in this hearmi? the statement w«is mscic Deforc nim. Pthe and though he had taken exception to tence, "I want no laws which will workother remarks of Mr. Woolley, he made along race lines" is clear. The liquor no objection to this declaration that it interests had from him all they wanted, was his purpose to cooperate earnestly and they used it with terrific effect. When in the recent campaign the Deleto carry Hawaii for prohibition. In his published letter to Mr. Thurston, dated gate's desertion of the cause which he October 17, he states that be told Mr. had practically promised Congress that Woolley "that I [Kalanianaole] would he would support and lead was brought go home as soon as Congress adjourned home to him by an editor of The Friend, and lead the fight for prohibition myself." Mr. Kalanianaole made the following explanation of his course in his open Thus far there is perfect agreement.

The deady venom of Mr. Kalanianaole's sen- vertiser raises no issue as between him : ft �and me, except as to his alleged interview with me touching the advisability of my return to Hawaii to take part in the plebiscite campaign. His version of that in- terview is false in general and in particular. 1 had serious misgivings as to the wisdom of my returning, which 1 presented frankly to him and Mr. McClcllan, for 1 had become convinced of the Delegate's sincerity and of his belief in mine. I asked him to advise me, and told him of my strong desire to keep out of the way if my return might work adversely. I le was not emphatic in advising me to go, but in several interviews said he could sec no reason against it. He said for me to go ahead and look after the whites, that we should carry the Hawaiian vote by a very large majority; that I was at liberty to report privately that he was for prohibition, but that he wished to make public announcement in his own way and his own time, and that he would be home by the first of June and rally the Hawaiian voters. He gave it as his opinion that we should surely win; that his wife was even more interested than himself. He gave me a list of Hawaiian men and women to see, and authorized me to quote him as being with me in the movement." Lowell's familiar verses run: "()nce to every man and nation conies the moment to decide. In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side; God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, Some great cause. And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light." Such an opportunity faced Mr. Kalanianaole. Rarely if ever has such a splendid chance to show himself a true patriot and devoted lover of his race come to a Hawaiian. He might have been hailed as the savior of liis people. If he had redeemed his promise to Congress, had hastened to I lawaii, had appeared side by side with Mr. Woolley. had gone from Island to Island showing the miserable untruth of the liquor dealer's pleas, he could have rallied his people against their bitterest foe. the drink evil. He failed. He suffered the man, who trusted him. to bear the brunt of opprobrium directed against the measure which he himself had secured from Congress, and to be hounded about the city like an enemy of mankind by his own people. The Delegate did not have it in him, that was all. Lit the curtain fall on the pitiable business. The strangest part of it is that this is the man whom the vast majority of Republicans have chosen to be the Territory's delegate to Congress for another term—the majority, I say, for there were 5 THE FRIEND.

THE DAILY BIBLE. The World's Morning Watch is file- name of an establishment at 156 Fifth Avenue, New York, the object of which is to promote the highest interests of the religious life. Religion being defined to be (iod's life in man, that life cannot accomplish anything against the will of the individual. To become dominant in a man that life must be cultivated in his consciousness. This demands time, quiet time. Amid the rush of the modern world and the steady insistence of business, pleasure and social intercourse God is apt to be allowed scant courtesy. To cultivate His friendship some portion of every day should be rigorously set apart and that portion par excellence should be at the very outset of the day when a man's powers are at his best. To call incessant attention to this demand of man's nature and to devise means for helping men realize this privilege and duty is the purpose which the World's Morning Watch has in view. In order to forward this purpose it publishes monthly a little pamphlet called The Daily Bible. In this are arranged tiny sections of Bible selections, one for every day of the month, together with a brief comment. During the early part of 1(>10 Dean Edward I. Bosworth of Oberlin edited the selections and comments. It is needless to say that he did ideal work. I lis brief pointed sentences gave the meat of the passage for the day in a form most suggestive and helpful. He was followed by Rev. F. K. Mathews, who culled his comments with great care. The last months of this year have contained passages from the Psalms rather carelessly selected and ill adapted to the present day man, with comments neither illuminating nor suggestive. With 1911 the Daily Bible will enter upon its eleventh year and will doubtless return to its former standard of excellence. It is upto-date in version, using the American Revision. It puts into the hands of fathers a most excellent medium for family prayers about the breakfast table. For travelers it is invaluable. For men who must do much of their Bible reading on railroad sleepers or other cars it is a boon, and when edited by such a man as Dr. Bosworth it is a delight in the Quiet I lour of any Christian. Costing only fifty cents a year or in clubs of five to separate addresses only forty cents, this little periodical ought soon to reach its ambition. "A magazine with a million readers." mainland churches would adequately back the work in Hawaii, the history of the next twenty years there would read upwards faster than it had downwards the previous few decades.

In 1904, ten of our 83 churches gave the American Hoard. In 1908, the last year for which I have full figures, 77 (76 per cent) of our 101 churches contributed to foreign missions. Hawaii follows the sensible procedure of combining in one society, called the Hawaiian P.oard, the functions of home missions, church building, Sunday school work and education. With this organization the American Missionary Association cooperates. Our local Hoard expends about $50,000 annually in addition to the grant from the A. M. A. In 1904, 28 of our 83 churches gave to the Hawaiian Board. In 1908, 81 churches (80 per cent) contributed. Last year our church members gave more per capita ($6.15) to this Home Hoard than those of Massachusetts did ($6.05) to Home Missions. We also contribute to the A. M. A. and to the Society for Ministerial Relief. During the five years, 1904-1909, since you began to stand by us the gain in membership in our Island Churches has been 23 8-10 per cent, and in our purely Hawaiian churches. 26 per cent. Last year cent 727 persons or a trifle over 10 of our total membership for the previous year were added on confession, the largest annual gain since 1869. In five years we have reversed the record of forty. This has been achieved through the policy of remanning the field with missionaries from the mainland, inaugurated because of your generous contributions, with men like Dr. Baker of Kona and Mr. Dodge of Maui, sons of Massachusetts, in the lead. Since the Dcs Moines meeting, and under the impulse of advance then received we have had courage to organize our schools in Honolulu into the Mid-Pacific Institute, that now owns 40 acres of land in the choicest section of the city and two magnificent buildings, a total value of over $250,000. in addition to a productive to 'Address delivered before the American Association at the National Council, Boston.

For with Russians crowding in upon us we need from you a round $10,000 annually. sistent policy of the Kamehameha sovereigns and suffer liquor to butcher the native races as it is doing was in the nature of a crime. To cheapen the ballot by removing incentives to thrift in its full acquirement and to give over this innocent-hearted people to the tender mercies of grafter and vote buyer was a twin wrong. PROBLEM LAND. Seven years residence in Hawaii has convinced me that the American negro of the future will have cause to look back with gratitude to the action of his Southern white brother in depriving him of the ballot until he should have demonstrated his ability to use and not abuse it. He will esteem it a real service to his race, notwithstanding the manner in which it was done. There is no apology here for that manner. In a democraticelectorate a majority element which is too ignorant or undeveloped or thriftless for self-government is a deadly menace to free institutions. For the great temptation facing the minority in such a community is to control the majority by means which by debauching it shall negative all possibility of character development. The gift of the franchise to the Hawaiian without safeguarding conditions was the crudest present our nation could have handed him. The problem before the Christian citizenship of the Territory is to counteract the effect of this blunder. It is no easy task and it does not seem as though any headway were being made. The dread question is will liquor and its comrade tuberculosis end the Hawaiian before any substantial gain shall have been registered. If Congress had desired to preserve the Hawaiian from extinction it should not only have insured him a just, efficient and economical government, such for example as that under the Republic, but also at the same time have tempted him by the promise of the franchise to develop himself into full American manhood. Hawaii today may well be called Problem Land, but we shoulder our burdens cheerfully in that sunny home of the rainbow. Chief of our responsibilities just now is the Hawaiian voter. We understand what Pres. Woodrow Wilson means when he says: "Self-government is not a thing that can be 'given' to any people, because it is a form of character ami not a form of constitution. Xo people can be 'given' the self control of maturity." Senator Morgan of virile memory knew that, when he served on the Commission to recommend an Organic Act to Congress for the government of our youngest and now only remaining Territory. The South had been taught this lesson by the most drastic experience any section of our nation had ever known. Hence the Alabama Senator as well as his four confreres in the commission favored a franchise for Hawaii based upon thrift as well as intelligence. It would have been well for the Hawaiians if Congress had heeded the advice of these statesmen. What his own chiefs and kings, what Provisional Government and Republic knew that the average native did not possess, power to govern himself, Congress essayed to give him. So without reservation it put the ballot in his hand and made him at once the bone of contention between graft-hating supporters of good government on the one hand and the unscrupulous, liquor dealing, law despising element on the other. There was dearth enough of stimulus in his heredity and of incentive in the mild environment of the subtropics to threaten him with perpetual racial childhood without denying to him the promise of the franchise as soon as possession of the power of self-government should be proven —the mightiest spur to self development that can prick on a man in America to better things. As it is the Hawaiian has become the prey of the unscrupulous and his ballot an incentive to lose what manhood he already has. In the prohibition plebiscite last July some ten thousand votes* were cast, the liquor men securing more than 7000. It cost them, according to the best authority I can find, in the neighborhood of $50,000 to do it. Fancy what that means for those child-men, the Hawaiians. For our nation to reverse the con- THE FRANCHISE AND MANHOOD. ASIA IN HAWAII. There is no time to talk about our Asiatic problem. This is so little dreaded that we should not mind Congress admitting a little more of it from China and Japan. We are busy preparing some ten thousand Asiatics born on our shores to become as good Americans as the second generation of your immigrants here in Boston. I'd like to tell you all about it but Sec. Ryder is worrying now over my 15 minutes. GET TOGETHER. Hawaii today is a blissful center of Christian union. We have learned Pres. Hayes' maxim, "The way to resume is to December, 1910 resume," only we put it, "The way to get together is to get together." Others preach, we practise it. We don't use the word Congregational out there. We don't need to, we have the thing; why bother over a divisive name? We also have the best of Presbyterianism in our l>olity. the fervor of Methodism, the whole Pacific ocean for the Baptist part of us and a number of title-less bishops such as Baker of Hawaii, Dodge of Maui, Lydgate of Kauai, with Archbishop Oleson (also of Massachusetts) at their head, plus the only sort of apostolic succession God or man cares anything about. Xo wonder our churches number all sects including former Confucianists from China, Buddhists from Japan, religious head-hunters for aught I know from the Philippines, Mormons, Romanists, and nearly every stripe of ism known to Dr. Carroll of the Independent. When Bishop Libert, Pius X's Hawaiian representative, loses a church by fire, he knows that the first checks that will come to him unbidden will bear the signatures of our people: when his Protestant Episcopal brother Restarick wants a new parish school building, children of our missionaries head his subscription list: when the Methodist Episcojxxs—l can't give you his kaleidoscopic name because he changes every year or two— plans a $35,000 church for Honolulu, he is sure of nearly half coming from our union loving people. O, the way to have union is to have it, not debate it to death as you did in Cleveland three years ago. Xext time you want to celebrate me banns between Congregational and other ists, fix the marriage ceremony at Honolulu. The sweetness of the atmosphere out there, spiritual as well as physical, will insure a June wedding. CARNEGIB I-I'NDERS. Hawaii today needs perhaps more than anything else families from mainland America. Six years ago we asked for money and sympathy. You gave both and today I have rendered a brief account thereof. Try us again, this time witli Christian homes. There are literally thousands of mainland families to whom residence in Hawaii would be the greatest of all earthly boons, families that have secured enough of this world's goods to make struggle for a living no longer necessary, and are spoiling for the opportunity of larger influence, families to whom our northern winters are a dread. Hawaii needs this type of Carnegie funder. Xo garden spot on earth is so alluring to men and women with time and money enough to take up a little plot of land and lend a hand in developing the rare products with which Hawaii is destined to bless America. Each such home �standing for the best in Americanism would form a center of light and of social salvation for Hawaiian families round about, to say nothing of influencing directly far away Asia or of incidentally prolonging for a decade or two its own efficient life. Here is a call for a new variety of twentieth century missionary. 7 THE FRIEXD December, 1910. «. THE WONDERFUL WIZARD SEA. ' the slow-rolling, hearted sea! Oh, 1.

It took nearly sixty years to make possible this day in the history of the Young Those Men's Christian Association. years, with their toil, their devotion, their tips and downs, were well spent to bring about this historic culmination—a day which Mr. Morse called "the whitest day in the record of the Association." There was something audacious in the idea of calling a conference in the interests and welfare of the young men of the Orient and of Latin America to be held in the White House, the official home of the President of the United States. It would not have been done, probably, but for the fact that a man occupied that national home as the honored and trusted tenant of the American people who had become convinced, during a long official residence in the East, and by personal knowledge of other countries, that the work of the Young Men's Christian Association was an essential factor in building on safe and enduring foundations the new life coming to these people. Who Came ? The attendance embraced more than more character, coming from all sections of the United States and of Canada. The conference was under the auspices of the foreign work committee of the International Committee, of which John R. Mott is the secretary, who personally conducted the program. The conference lasted for six hours, the two sessions divided by a lunch at the Willard Hotel. It may be invidious to give special names, but such persons as John Wanamaker, Gen. John W. Foster; George W. Perkins, Bishop Roots, of China; Bishop Nelson, of Georgia; Gen. Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the Army; Dr. Harrada, President of the Doshisha; Helen Miller two hundred men, with a dozen or women, of the most representative Gould, and others, made this conference as remarkable in its personnel as it was unique in conception and memorable in result. The conference was called to order by Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland, who referred to the gathering in the historic East Room as the only one ever held in the White House the object of which looked beyond the limits of the United States, to consider the welfare of all mankind. Mr. Mott gave a survey of world conditions and a statement of the imperative need on the part of non-Christian nations for the essential principles of Christian civilization. He gave this with the authority growing out of his wide travel and observation during the past five years. Mr. Mott emphasized the urgency of the imperative obligation upon America, the leading Christian nation of the world. The nations now in flux were rapidly crystallizing, and it was a question whether they would set in a Christian mold or would be allowed to set in a nonChristian mold. Mr. Taft Speaks. While Mr. Mott was speaking the President entered the room, the audience rising and greeting him with prolonged applause of the heartiest character. The President returned to Washington only this morning. He showed evident relish in being the personal and official host of the conference. When the applause subsided the President insisted upon Mr. Mott finishing his address, to which he listened with closest attention. On rising to speak the President received another expression of good will and respect. Opening with a tactful allusion to his action in welcoming to the White House such a gathering, he said the principle at the bottom of all the work of the Association was, that it was the duty of one people to pass on to other peoples the best they had that made for higher and better national life. The Constitution and the proprieties of governmental action might and did put limitations upon official conduct between nations; but in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association there were no limitations. The President stated strongly how, upon the basis of trade merely, the theory and practice had been for nations to make out of each other as much as possible; and in certain phases of commerce it had been an effort to get something for what might well be called worse than nothing. The commerce in which such agencies as the Association is engaged was something entirely different, and its work commanded his cordial and emphatic approval. Then came a rapid survey of the principal countries. President Harada, of the Doshisha, Mr. Wang, a Chinese student, and national secretaries gave brief addresses, followed by an endorsement from Major-General Leonard Wood of the work of the Association as he had seen it in Havana, in Manila, in the coast cities of China and Japan, and lastly in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, he having but recently returned from an official trip to South America. The Appeal. Mr. Mott then opened what may be called the more practical part of the conference. Three characteristics mark the policy of the Young Men's Christian Association the placing of experts in charge of the work, as had been demonstrated by the men whose reports had been heard; wise and close supervision, both in the field and from the home office; and the provision of suitable buildings and facilities. The Association had great memories in the past, but it had immeasurable opportunities in the future which must be provided for. The foreign department, after careful deliberation, the plans having been gone over by men with the largest wisdom and experience both in this country and in Europe, had determined that there must be sent out during the next three years fifty secretarial workers, the expense for whom would be Forty-nine two thousand dollars each. buildings must be provided, the aggregate cost of which would be $1,515,000. Twelve of the proposed buildings are for students. : The Response. Mr. John Ross, of Montreal, told how the city had raised $700,000 for new buildings: but they had agreed to contribute 5 per cent of the amount they were to expend for themselves, and guaranteed $40,000 for the foreign work. Other reports came in quick succession, interspersed with brief addresses, and the reading of telegrams from William Jennings Bryan and ex-Vice-President Fairbanks expressing their favorable verdict upon Association work as they had seen it in their tours around the world. Hon. John Wanamaker said no man who had ever put one dollar into Association work would take five dollars for the investment. In earnest words he pleaded for larger things than the committee had planned. "America cannot go slow in �December, 1910 Association work ; the pace must be measured by the call of the work." He told of his last interview in Paris with Sir George Williams, who sent by him to his American brethren the message: "Tell them to love one another, to be sweet, to keep together and to fight." On leaving the room Mr. Wanamaker sent word to Mr. Mott that when he had finished with the Peking building, about to be erected (the fifth he has given), he would take another in China. Mr. Hugh Kennedy announced that the Uuffalo delegation, after raising $290,000 for extension work and having proposed to do no more, would take over two of the new buildings. Mr. Rockefeller Pledges $540,000. At this point Mr. Mott stated that John D. Rockefeller would give $540,000 on condition that a like amount was given otherwise. In making this announcement Mr. Mott said that he regarded Mr. Rockefeller as one of the most discriminating and broad-minded givers in the world, and that if an object did not commend itself to his judgment as worthy of support he was pretty sure there was something wrong in the object. "No man is giving more painstaking attention to the investment of his surplus in philanthropy and education." Mr. Mott read a remarkable letter from Mr. James Stokes offering $50,000 for a building in Moscow, if a like amount could be secured, and it was pledged by one gentleman right there. Dumont Clarke, Jr., a Princeton College man. who had spent one year in India, pledged a building for Bangalore. S. W. Woodward, of Washington, in memory of \ erling Helm, agreed to pat up a memorial building in Kobe, to cost $35,000. Mr. John Penman, of Ontario, Canada, chairman of the Provincial Committee, was announced as having offered $50,000 for a building at Hankow, China, just as Bishop Roots took his seat, after describing how, eight years ago, he had made a plea for a building for that city. Other gifts were announced, among them one by Mrs. Meade for $5,000, and other addresses made, by George W. Perkins, of New York; Mr. R. S. Miller, of the State Department; Hon. John P»arrett, director of the Pan-American Bureau; Professor Ilurton, of the Chicago I'niversity; Hon. John W. Foster, and by Silas Mcßee. the latter being a prophecy of the Christian unity which must come by virtue of the unified service of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was, after all. the Church at work. A resolution offered by Mr. Ross, and to which these addresses were seconds, that in the judgment of the conference the 9 THE FRIEND. plan of the foreign commitee was feasible and reasonable, was unanimously adopted. A brief concluding address was made by Mr. Alfred E. Marling. CHEER GIVING STATISTICS The Bureau of the Census has published during the year two volumes that deal with the religious bodies of continental United States. These volumes are the result of the numbering of the people in reference to their religious affiliations. They give the statistics and a brief account of the history, faith, polity and work of all the religious organizations or churches, Christian or non-Christian that existed in the land in the year 1906. This account of the religious life of the nation is impressive and suggestive. It makes clear two points. 1. The large place of religion in the life of the nation. There were 212,230 churches or religious bodies counted; 210,418 of these made reports and the statistics given arc taken from their reports. These nm%\ property in houses of worship (192,795) valued at more than a billion dollars ($1,257,757,867). There is an army, in itself, of leaders of these churches consisting of 161,628 clergymen or religious teachers. And the great host of those who are so closely interested in religion as to be identified with these organizations as members, counts up to a grand total of 32,936,446. In other terms nearly two of every five of the estimated population of that year were members of these churches and of religious bodies. Of this grand total 20,287,742, or 61.6 per cent, were reported as members of Protestant churches, and 12,079,142, or 36.7 per cent of the Catholic Church Impressive also are the figures relating to the Sunday schools. There were 192,-722 of them in all. They had 1,786,074 officers and teachers, and the scholars were 15,337,811. As these scholars were largely children it appears that there are large numbers being trained for future membership of the churches. No figures can express the extent or strength of Christian sentiments and principles in the nation. Many people are governed by Christian sentiments and principles who are not connected as members of Christian churches, but when so many people are counted in the membership of the churches it gives ground for hope. Religion in its Christian form is a large and mighty influence in the land. 2. The increasing place of religion in the life of the nation. When we compare the statistics of 1906 with those of 1890-the comparison . is made in these volumes—we are impressed with the increase of religion in the land. There is increase in the number of religious organizations, of members, of clergy, of houses of worship and value of property. The growth of religious organization is from 165,151 to 212,230; of membership, from 20,597,954 to 32,936,445. The Protestant churches have increased from 14,007,187 in 1890 to 20,257,742 in I(X>6; the Catholic Church from 6.241,708 to 12,079,142, in the same time. The remarkable increase of the Catholic Church in sixteen years is largely due to the fact that during these years the nation received more than nine millions of immigrants, most of whom were Catholics. In 1890 32.7 per cent of the population were members of Christian churches; in 1906, 39.1 of the (estimated) population a gain of 6.4 per cent. There were six states and territories in which at least 50 per cent of the population were church members, and there were twelve more in which the proportion was between 40 and 50 per cent. These statistics show, as far as mere figures can do so, that Christianity has a large place in the life of the nation and a growing place. It would be bad if Christianity were at a standstill, and it would be worse if it were losing ground, but the story these statistics, which have been gathered with so much care, tells us is not of< arrested development or decay, but the cheering story of vigor and growth. COLLINS G. BURNHAM. A NEW JAPANESE CHURCH. On Sunday, December 4, the Japanese of Kakaako came into the fruitage of five years of patient labor ig a diXficult field, and had the pleasure of being organized into the Japanese Church of Kakaako. with 25 members. They have a fine Sunday school of about 100 members. The acting pastor is Mr. T. Kajiro, under whose faithful work the present organization has been built up. RESPONSIBLE For those Japanese Servants? More than we think, perhaps. Let them read a Christian paper in their own tongue. It is THE TOMO. 50c. a year �THE FRIEND 10 Educational Advance F. W. DAMON EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY. Recent events in Portugal are directing attention to many phases of national life. While civil and political matters come in for the largest share of attention, yet the influence of education on national welfare is quite as great in the long run as politics or civic affairs. As a general rule any ]>eople will live peacefully and happily if they live well and under such circumstances the kind of government that promotes the well-being of the industrial classes will be supported. There is, also, close co-relation between the well being of a people and a system of education that includes all classes of people and all activities by which the people earn their living. In this characteristic, the United States differs from other nations. Democracy in education is in keeping with democracy in politics and civic affairs. The spread of demcoracy throughout the world is one of the striking features of the present times. While in some instances the forms of government have not changed as in England, Germany and other parts of Europe, yet in recent years there has been remarkable change in the sentiments of the people towards the freedom of expression and the distribution of knowledge. Russia, China and India, comprising one-half of the world's population, are now at the portals of a new freedom. It is happy to note that the means by which these changes have been brought about have been most largely through agitation, education and constitutional methods. The question has been raised, however, as to whether the highest standards of education and scholarship can be attained in a democracy like our own. It has been asserted that democracy and scholarship are incompatible, that culture can not be fostered in a country or commonwealth where materialism, commercialism and the demand for the practical are manifested on every hand. The charge that scholarship has not developed in the United States as in some countries of Europe is true, and it is also true that scholarship is not always set at its intrinsic value to the community and the state. But this is a passing phase of our civilization. In the United States men have been busy with the economic affairs incident to the development of a new country. Up to the present time new lands had to be occupied, new lines of transportation built, and new implements of industry developed in order to meet the demands of a population growing in numbers, economic needs and wealth. Hut we are now face to face with a new era of development, that of building upon the foundations laid; and in order to consummate the scheme our democracy is reaching out and taking possession of all activities and stages in education. Scholarship is no longer allied with aristocracy. The past decade in this country has witnessed a remarkable correlation between the work of the scholar and the bread and butter affairs of life. It can be easily shown that the support of education in all of its phases by the state is one of the best investments that the state can make. This is not only demonstrable in the character of citizenship but also in the increased earning power of all citizens and the results in all lines of production and commerce. In order to emphasize this argument an instance from the great industry of crop and animal production may be mentioned. Since \UD our population has increased about 100 per cent, our area under cultivation has increased 100 per cent, but our production of cereals has increased 300 per cent. Notwithstanding this great increase in production per capita and per unit of area, agriculture has during the same period spared 11 per cent of its workers for the benefit of the trade, transportation and manufacturing industries. The cost of the education by which these results have been brought about is merely nominal compared with the great gain in welfare to the whole, people. there is a need for its judicious and raeducation in the scheme of democracy but There is not only a place for higher tional support. No race or people can make progress without leaders, and in order that this leadership may be always in the interests of the democracy it is important that the state should provide for their training. In the absence of trained and judicious leaders, we sometimes have to witness the contemptible spectacle of the "boss." But the boss can not always retain his leadership; intelligence will drive him out. In the second place, a democratic system of education promotes industrial opportunity and prosperity; and it tends to prevent the accumulation of wealth and power by the few. In the last analysis the state will find its most lasting safety and welfare in providing an educational system that will reach all the people and increase both their skill and knowledge in the activities of life. Under such conditions the existence of false leadership and corrupt practices can only be short lived. It is frequently asserted that a publicly supported system of education, whether December. 1910 graded schools or universities, ought to be more concerned with those studies which are likely to contribute directly towards the earning of a living rather than those which have no immediate connection with the obtaining of the necessities of life. The continued success of our form of government and our state of society not only permits but requires devotion to the pursuit of abstract sciences, and the cultivation of the imagination a-; well as to those more concrete subjects which minister to the direct benefit of either the individual, the class or the community. It is commendable to study out how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before, or how to improve our soil so that the product of the acres shall continue to feed the multitude of our growing cities, and how to harness the forces of nature to complicated machinery so that sufficient food and clothing may be put within the reach of all. But what shall we say to justify the expenditure of public money and the bestowal of public interest for the abstract subjects of history, philosophy, mathematics and literature, or in our elementary schools of the traditional "3 r's.'' In the opinion of many these subjects are often considered as of little or no use but that there is no necessary conflict in the needs of our state and society, between the two groups of studies that we have mentioned. It is not easy to state which is the more important; those subjects which promote the material welfare of the people or those which create and uplift their spiritual and intellectual ideals. In the long run, and for the great mass of people, the one group is quite as important as the other, and those who are constantly advocating the introduction of industrial and vocational subjects into the curriculum at the expense of thorough drilling of the fundamental subjects of reading, writing, mathematics and the fundamental sciences, should take npte of the fact that if it had not been for people who have sat quietly and studied the conic sections or to those who have given their lives to the study of astronomy and the relations of our earth to the heavenly bodies, there might today be no commerce over the seas; and, if there had not been those who have quietly studied the laws of gravitation and moving bodies and the elastic properties of gases and vapors there might today be no steam engines or so far as we can judge, motors of any kind that in our modern lives are so essential that we scarcely ever think of the principles of study that underlie their existence. The immediate application of these thoughts is that in a democratic society like our own there is necessity for a system of education that will reach all the �11 THE FRIEND December, 1910. people of all ages and with the information that will fit them for the largest measure of usefulness of which each individual is capable. Education and enlightenment are not antagonistic to industry. If all men live most men must work and the fault of our system is still apparent that we are teaching children in accordance with a pedagogic creed rather than for individual needs and usefulness.

No student of world movements can well afford to neglect the story of a movement which has just reached its one hundredth birthday, having increased its activity each year until the record of its centennial year represents an outlay just 1000 fold greater than the outlay of the first. "On its pages breathes the romance of the great adventure; figures of heroic men and women appear in quick succession. Great crises on these battlefields of the Kingdom and the daily round of life at a single station are both pictured. The progress of the organization at home and abroad, so set forth, is the record of an unfolding life: it has the charm of personal history. The book is enriched with numerous illustrations of historical interest ; and with a series of new and specially prepared colored maps, portraying both the field as a whole and the several missions." The book contains special chapters on "Transforming the Sandwich Islands," and "Some of the American Board Ships" and frequently refers to matters of local interest to the people of Hawaii, while linking us with the world-wide move- of the American Board in China, Japan, India, Turkey, Spain, Austria, Africa, Mexico, Micronesia and the Philippines. ment THE CANDY STANDS AGAIN. In the October Friend attention was called to the baleful influences exerted by the candy push carts which encamp around the various city schools. We have been requested to refer again to the subject, especially because of the disregard of sanitary precautions on the part of these street vendors. Notice, for example, the way the glasses in which soda water has been served are dipped into a pail of dirty water which has done service for the best part of a busy day, and are then wiped off with a rag which is still more offensively unclean. Parents who are alarmed over the dangers to their children from infantile paralysis and other diseases will do well to caution them against patronizing the candy stand. j •- V AT Zjr>, I old u«JTB JTMm. f IV--' f * 2s**%£& JL*zi f B Ik SO / Ii «. nsliatov*Tf\ru©r. \ ■ I rrc£\ I - I 3 Cunos Cnores �December, 1910 THE FRIEND 12 pie have learned to get up and give a word of personal testimony or make remarks on the topic of the evening.

EBERSOLE Doctor Scudder has begun a scries of Travel Talks at the Sunday evening services, which arc attracting a great deal of attention and bringing out much larger audiences than are usually in attendance at the evening service. In these talks Dr. Scudder not only gives vivid descriptions of the scenes and peoples which he and Mrs. Scudder visited on their five months' tour abroad this summer, but each evening draws some most helpful lesson from his observations. The three addresses given thus far were on 1. "Going Abroad." 2. "Where the Broad Atlantic Smiles." Increase Campaign. 3. " 'Neath the Grim Shade of Death." Our Christian Endeavor Society is just In the first address he spoke not of completing a very successful increase "When to go abroad" or "Where to go." campaign. Early in September the so- oi "what preparations are necessary," ciety was divided into three equal sections and a twelve week's triangular contest was begun, to see which section would score the largest number of points for all round work during that time. Each section chose a section leader who would be primarily responsible for the work of that section, and to report each week to the secretary of the society the points earned during that week. The following items were counted in making up the points: 1. Number in attendance at Endeavor Meeting. 2. Number who took part in the meeting. 3. Number remaining to evening church service. 4. Number attending mid-week church service. 5. Number attending mission meeting of society. 6. Number of new members secured. Twenty-six new members have been added since the campaign began, the attendance at the meetings has almost doubled, and the meetings have been the brightest, breeziest, snappiest meetings it has ever been our privilege to attend. Often as many as thirty would take part in some form or other during the hour. An increasing number of the young peo- but of the great importance of everyone seeing as much of this world and the people in it as he can. The desire to know and to see is a God-given instinct and should be heeded by all. Only so can we come into intelligent sympathy with other peoples and experience in any vital way universal brotherhood. The second address proved to be more of a description of "grim Gibraltar" than of the "broad and smiling Atlantic," and gave Dr. Scudder opportunity to voice an emphatic protest once again against any such complete fortification and militarization of this our own fair island as to make it, what some have already been pleased to call it, "The Gibraltar of the Pacific." On the third evening he took the congregation with him into the shadow of the ever-threatening Vesuvius, into Naples and about the Hay of Naples, and over the excavation of ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum. The persistence of the people continuing to live where destruction always hangs over them and in building homes and city on the very spot where former homes and cities lie buried, teach us, as hardly anything else could do, the supremacy of life over death. Man never despairs. Life mounts up and builds as fast as death destroys. To all who have traveled in these countries, and to those of us who hope to do so some day these travel talks are certainly most fascinating and interesting. Bible Study Groups. With the return of Dr. Scudder, the assistant minister, relieved of pulpit and pastoral duty, resumed his Bible teaching. The Sunday morning class, conducted under the auspices of the Men's league in the church parlor, is taking up this year "The Social Teachings of Jesus," following in the main "The Principles of Jesus Applied to Present Day Life." but using also Jenk's "The Social Significance of the Teachings of Jesus," Shailer Matthews' "The Social Teachings of Jesus," IVabody's "Jesus Christ and the Social Question," and Rauschcnbush's "Christianity and the Social Crisis." The class already has an enrollment of over thirty, and every Sunday sees some new faces. The discussions of what Jesus has to say and what his attitude was on the various social problems of his time are proving quite as interesting and suggestive as the more distinctly religious questions which occupied our attention in this class last year. Such questions as the following are being studied: 1. Jesus' General Attitude to Society. 2. Jesus' Ideal Society—The social order which he foresaw and for which he worked. 3. Was Jesus a Socialist? 4. Jesus' Teachings on The Family — involving a study of his attitude to marriage, divorce, woman and the child. 5. Jesus' Teaching in regard to The Shite, involving his attitude on such questions as observance of law, non-resistance, war and international relations. 6. Jesus' Teachings regarding Wealth, Care of the Poor. Crime and Treatment of Criminals. 7. Jesus' Teachings concerning the Industrial Order, Capital and Labor, the (iolden Rule in Business, etc. Every Tuesday evening the assistant minister presides at the meeting of "The Religious Question Club" recently organized at the Y. M. C. A. This is an organization of a group of young men that meets every Tuesday evening at 7:30 for an hour's discussion of such questions as : What is Religion? Can we know God? I )ocs it do any good to Pray ? Why is it so easy to Sin ? What do we mean by forgiveness? Was Jesus Divine? Is man Immortal? �13 THE FRIEND December, 1910 What is Heaven like? Is there a Hell? Will there be a Judgment Day? How did we get our Bible, etc. The meetings thus far held show conclusively that there is a demand for just such a frank treatment of these fundamental religious questions in which all men are interested. It may be that more will be accomplished in the religious life of these men in this way than a more formal Bible study would do. Of course, in all these discussions the Bible is the chief text book. LETTER FROM GUAM. October 25, 1910. Dear Friends and Brothers: —We are sorely in need here, in our mission church work, and thought as you were acquainted with Jose Cristino, who is one of our church deacons, we would send a letter to you and to many pastors and churches in the states. We are sending out a general call for help in the way of finances and money and reading matter for our Sunday school children. Do you not feel as if you would like to have a part in this fund or offering to help defray our expenses? If so, would you kindly put this before your church board or have a special offering taken for us. We are planning some Christmas work, and everything must come from the States and individuals whose hearts are in the work of bringing the heathen into the light of knowledge and the true faith of Jesus Christ. It being only a few days now before the transport arrives, and we have many of these letters to write, we are not able to go into details as much as we would like to to show you the situation. I am sure if you could call on us and investigate our work here, you would not hesitate to help us. God will bless you. is my earnest prayer, and your work and church.—Yours in his service.

The formal launching of the MidPacific Institute with full sail spread out to the Manoa breezes called together a large company of enthusiastic spectators on Saturday, November 26. It was an occasion distinguished for original features that probably could not be rivaled in any part of the world, for here in Hawaii is found a conspicuous variety in nationalities, a remarkable generosity in behalf of the education and religious culture of these various nationalities, and a faithful attempt to bring all into one homogeneous people. The MidPacic Institute was conceived and born and brought to the magnificent development it has now reached through the inspiration of Hawaii's opportunity for rendering this high service to the world and through faith in the essential oneness and brotherhood of all mankind. The exercises were held in the newly completed Mills School, which has twice the capacity of the building erected three years ago—the Kawaiahao Girls' School —and is built of the same beautiful mossgrown lava rock. From two o'clock in the afternoon visitors began to throng the building, praising the architecture, the superb view and the fine accommodations, and enjoying the hearty social intercourse, while the arches echoed with the music of the Hawaiian Band. ji "I feel It a very great privilege," said he, "to welcome you to this new home of Mills From small beginnings we are Institute. now hopefully launched, and I am gratified to see so many of our friends here today to see the result of their support in the work which we have been planning to do. I am pleased furthermore to see so many active workers and supporters of the institute from numerous races, all working together for the advancement of the brotherhood of man. With united action, the Mid-Pacific Institute is becoming stronger and stronger and surely God's blessing Is upon us." Thanksgiving Service. A Thanksgiving service was then enacted by the students of the institute, led by Miss M. E. Bosher, principal of Kawaiahao Seminary, after which the audience arose and joined with them in singing the Doxology. "The Significance of the Institute to the Territory and the World" was the subject of the address of Rev. Doremus Scudder, D. D. He said in his opening remarks that this was quite a weighty subject to deal with in the four minutes which had been allotted to him. "President Damon is used to doing big things in a short time," said he, "and I will have to try to keep up with his pace. He has done wonders In the past three or four years, as will be seen from the development of this Institute, these handsome buildings and the them. fifty-seven acres surrounding - Hawaii an Object Lesson. "Ood has created and ordained Hawaii to be an object lesson of twentieth century the West. Here the children of many races are trained and educated to become loyal Americans. Here the boys and girls of various nationalities study and work on terms of absolute equality and this Institute offers a grand friendship between the East and opportunity for cementing the friendship of the naUons of the Pacific." The speaker hoped that all the children, of whatever nationality, would become true and loyal American citizens, but that they could still remember with love the countries from which they or their parents came. He commended the institute upon the work of drawing together the peoples of the Pacific, which meant so much for the future peace of the nations bordering upon this ocean. Fred E. Osbornk.

Tidings come to hand of the call to the higher life of Rev. Fngelbert Christian Oggel, D. 1)., on November 6 last, aged 69 ycais, who, from his former services in this city and the friendships formed is entitled to more than passing notice. Rev. Mr. Oggel succeeded the Rev. Dr. S. C. Damon as pastor of the Bethel Union Church in 1884, and .served faithfully and acceptably till the movement for uniting with the then Fort Street Church was mooted, whereupon he resigned. Together with Rev. J. A. Cruzan they also succeeded Dr. Damon in the editorship and publishing of The Friend in 1885, materially enlarging it for new added features. Mr. Cruzan relinquished his interest at the close of the year while Mr. Oggel continued its editorship till his departure from the islands in the fall of 1887, when he was succeeded by Rev. S E. Bishop. It was during Mr. Oggel's pastorate that the old Bethel Church was destroyed by the Chinese fire of 1886, whereuiion through his personal effort funds were secured toward a new edifice, and the corner site of the present Central Union Church was purchased for that object.

Not only among the public school children, but also by sonic of the Sunday schools, was there the carrying of the excellent custom of beautifying and improving the appearance of the country by planting trees. It is well that the voting people of these islands are being taught in a very practical manner the value of trees and the importance of preserving the natural resources of the land. The Kaliului Union Sunday School observed the day by planting some ironwood trees in llic church yard. A prise of $5.00 was awarded to Fanny Apo for having grown the tallest tree during the hist twelve months. A year ago each child was given an ironwood, and a prize of $5.00 promised to the member of the school who succeeded the best with his or her tree. One of the boys who had been m the school up to three months ago had his tree attain the height of 10 feet and 2 inches. Because of his withdrawal from the school lie could not receive the prize. The winner's tree was 8 feet 10 inches high, and the next tallest was 8 feet 2 inches, the third 7 feet, and the others at heights varying all the way down to 1 foot 5 inches. Considering how small the trees were when planted, it would seem that the results were excellent. This year more ironwoods were given out to the children and four prizes were announced for next year. To the one having the tallest tree $2.00 will be given, the second tallest tree owner will receive $1.50, the third $1.00 and the fourth 50c. out visions of a joyful time with Santa Claus and a tree and presents fill the minds of the young ]>eople. It is their time to make merry. Ixt them enter heartily into the Christmas festivities and catch the spirit of gladness that is the essence of the season. The glad Christmas songs and the Pible verses and recitations will make a lasting impression upon the youthful minds, even though they may cease their attendance upon the Sunday school as soon as Christinas is over. Many new pupils are brought into the schools because of the special features of the Christmas season and out of this number there is always a large proportion who will remain permanent members of the school.

It has been a paying investment, lie is a lovable man, an efficient officer and the embodiment of fidelity. We shall greatly miss him. and I am sure our prayers will go with him wherever he may go, and in whatever service he may engage." Jl The Future of Organized Sunday School Work. Mr. Marian Lawrance writes of the future of the organized Sunday school work as follows: "The methods of Christian work along all lines are in a transitory state. New conditions demand new treatment, and new conditions are constantly arising. The past year has been a year of unusual prosperity in the Sunday school work everywhere. The marvelous advance during the last few years is due largely to a quickened Sunday school consceince. We are holding annually more than 17,000 conventions, attended by fully 3,000.000 people. We reach eevry part of the great field, holding literally thousands of helpful, �stimulating conventions where it would be impossible for any denomination to hold one unless with a single school, thus leaving out the schools in that locality. Among all the organizations that are standing for co-oj)eration, the International Sunday School Association has an honored place. God has led us in a wonderful way, and if we are teachable. He will lead us still. Let us go forward with greater energy than ever. Let us have faith in God and in our work.

I have been a trifle perplexed as to the exact ground of your reviewer's statement that "Dr. Brown contests every claim of the Cult." Is it based upon the reviewer's own investigation of the "claims" of Christian Science, and comparison therewith of Dr. Brown's views; or does Dr. Brown say that he "contests every claim of the Cult," or does your reviewer merely infer that he "contests every claim of the Cult?" Whatever the reason, I must credit your reviewer with the statement of an actual fact, and that Dr. Brown does indeed contest "every claim of Christian Science." Now, some of the claims of Christian Science are the following, taken from the Christian Science Text Book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy:— "Spirit Is God." —Science and Health, page 192.

These were printed in "The Friend" of June, July, and August of this year. �December, 1910 THE FRIEND 18 We now give some extracts from the memoir of Captain James Hunnewell, on the "Thaddeus," then first which will interest as supplementing the missionary journal. On the 23rd of October 1819, Mr. Hunnewell left Boston in the brig "Thaddeus," Captain A. Blanchard, bound on a "trading voyage to the North West Coast," touching at the Sandwich Islands. He was an officer, and, as he wrote, the voyage was memorable to him as the first when he had an interest in vessel and cargo. While it thus had private importance to him, it had public importance that even now cannot be fully estimated, for this voyage of the "Thaddeus" made her, it seems as if in simple truth, the American Mayflower of the Pacific. She bore a company of nineteen passengers, the pioneer agents of a great and good constituency of Americans, organized to carry the teachings of Christianity and of civilization to a world then wild and little known,—a small world it EVENTS. may have been, but a center with large' possibilities, far reaching through the fu- October 26—Governor Frear used pick and shovel in breaking ground for the new Besides these nineteen passengers, the 1132,000 Y.

The daily journal of Mr. Hunnewell, kept during this voyage, is preserved. It describes the passage as only an experienced traveler on the sea really does, and a few extracts from it are here given. The journal abounds in minute details, for instance: "March 14.—At sunrise hoisted the long boat out of the chocks, and broke open the main hold; hoisted our large guns on deck and sundry other articles. At 11 a. m. found the remains of poor Tom, our cat. He had been missing for about two weeks.

" Was asked concerning "a certain rich man" who had just died. "He left it all" was the absolutely correct answer. He could take nothing with him. Still, he might have left it working for him. This is the merit 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.

R. Calling Names. It is easier to call a man a liar than it is to inject into his system the corrective serum of sound principles. Hut it does no good to call a man a liar. It does not add to his comfort to be so denominated, and it is noticeable that it always makes a man mad to call another man a liar. And a man mad is a man who has missed his mark. The English language is certainly extensive enough and fertile enough to make it possible for men who disagree to be at least courteous to one another. We believe that the trend of things is distinctly away from personalities, ond toward the courteous discussion of principles. It is probable that the demagogue in politics will continue to resort to personalities rather than to principles; so also the anonymous contributor to the drily press. These two species repre- No. 11 sent cases of arrested development. The rest of the world has moved on to beter tilings. And how much saner it is! And how much more that is worth while And how much better it is gets (lone! Calling names is ]xx>r business. It helps no cause to resort to such tactics. If a cause is a bad one the calling of names will not cloak it with respectability and if a cause is a good one its advocates cannot possibly promote it by calling names. It is poor politics and poor morals that lias no better weapon to use than that of resorting to person- done! ; alities. New Hawaii. There are too many people still who know only one Hawaii. That is the old Hawaii with its heiaus and idols and nudities. On all other matters these people seem to be fairly intelligent. They count themselves also intelligent as to I lawaii; for have they not read Cook's Travels, and seen the idol at Andover Seminary, and heard the yarns of old skippers in New London's famous "l'ocastle," and owned a share in the first "Morning Star"? It would almost seem as though the early impressions of these people were so persistent that the only hope of their ever gainnig a true vision of the Hawaii of today would be through a cranial operation whereby the musty pigeon-holes of memory would be*cleansed for good. However, less harsh methods may well be tried first. The problem is. How can intelligent people in the East be made to realize that there is a New Hawaii? We take it for granted that everyone in Hawaii recognizes the value of having this Territory thoroughly well advertised for what it really is. The Promotion Committee have done laudable and fruitful services in this direction. It would be in line with their policy to avail ourselves of every additional opportunity to correct misapprehensions as to Hawaii, and to impress our friends on the mainland with the facts as they are among us today in social and industrial lines. Such an opportunity offers in the great missionary exhibit called "The World in Boston, which is to be held in April and May, 1911. Hawaii has been assigned space in the Main Exhibit Hall, and has also been given all the room desired in the Main Auditorium. - Vol. LXVIII �TUT.

'The visit of the Japanese training squadron under the command of Admiral Yashiro has given the citizens of Hawaii another opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship between these two nations that fringe the ocean in whose center we are situated. Nations like inindividuals, have an inborn tendency to speak kindly of each other when they come face to face, and these kindlf expressions are of great value in alleviating such little irritations as arise from'time to time, and in cementing more firmly the ties of international friendship. There is probably no nation on the face of the earth which so deeply appreciates national friendship, and from the heart SO assiduously cultivates the spirit and the expression of it as Japan does. Her people everywhere show an intense sentimental and chivalrk desire to win the world's friendship and to be worthy of it. The same religious fervor that breathes in her patriotism yearns to express itself in her endeavors to cultivate a real friendship with the world nations. The courtesies extended to the foreigner on public occasions in Japan would be enough to turn his head if he did not real ize that this courtesy proceeds largely from the respect which the Japanese people have for the country of which he is a citizen.

K mss ignorance or the most wil- ful misrepresentation, attempt to persuade the peopk of the I'nitcd States that Japan is spoiling for a war with America, and the most disheartening comment upon the good sense of our people is the fact that so large a portion of them would rather tie up to such firebrands than to believe in the published statements of the two governments themselves. It is constantly reiterated by trouble breeders that Japan has aggressive designs towards the Philippines, Why, then, did she not seize her unparalleled opportunity when the Filipino emissaries came to Japan and tried to get the Japanese to join them in their resistance of the United States? That Japan would like to own the Philippines may naturally be inferred, hut we venture the assertion that she will never want them at the cost of a war with the United States, imr even covet them at the cost of damaging the much prized "historic friendship" between the two countries. The other great bugaboo of the international scarecrows is that Japan has 7(),(XX) of her subjects "armed to the teeth" domiciled in Hawaii," and is awaiting the psychological moment for the seizure of these islands. 'This Statement is true in all particulars excepting that the arms of the Japanese in these islands terminate at the shoulder blade instead of at the teeth; and, that they are domiciled here at the express desire of the great plantation interests, and have by their "arms" contributed mole labor than any other nationality in the production of the vast wealth of these islands; and, that Japan is not contemplating the seizure <ff these islands; and has publicly so declared herself. Sane Guides. Witness the notes exchanged between Japan and the United States, November 30, l'K)ri„ in which Ambassador Takahira outlined the common aim, policy and intention agreed upon between the United States and Japan, and by the authorization of the lni|>erial (iovernment, presented it to Secretary Root for confirmation. In this note, which was confirmed the same day by Secretary Root, the two Governments express it as their policy mutually to encourage their commercial interests in the Pacific ocean, to defend the principle of equal opportunity in China, and "reciprocally to respect the territorial possessions belonging to each other." It would seem worth while also to listen to the testimony of Americans who live among the Japanese, having learned their language, adapted themselves to �THE FRIEND 6 . their customs and mingled with them socially for years, attending their public functions and visiting them in their schools and homes. As they walk through the streets or ride in the cars, one would think they would have unusual Opportunity to catch the people off their guard and to hear things which, being uttered in Japanese, the foreigner is not supposed to understand. Such is the unique position of the missionary in Japan for learning the real sentiments of the people, and yet. three years ago. when the Californian situation was irritating in the extreme to the sensitive Japanese, and all kinds of wild rumors were abroad in the United States, a paper was prepared and signed by practically the whole body of American missionaries in Japan in which the following statement was made "We, the undersigned, wish to bear testimony to the sobriety, sense of international justice, and freedom from aggrcssk't designs exhibited by the majority of the Japanese people, and to their faith in the traditional justice and equity of the United States, and our belief that the alleged 'belligerent attitude of the Japanese' does not represent the real sentiment of the people." forms, the system of education and business methods of the West, and as I'rofessor Ladd has said. "The citizen of the United States may feel more at home in Japan than in certain parts of Europe itself." But, supposing them to be assimilable, would not their intense patriotism and devotion to the Ettiperor, in case of war, lead them to fight for Japan rather than America?—(parenthetically we would ask. how is it in case of our British American or German American citizens? And again, could we expect good American citizenship in a man who had not spirit enough to love his mother country?) —on the contrary, we consider the very presence of a large number of Japanese in the islands as an additional safeguard to peace. Even selfish considerations would incline the Japanese here to bring all their influence to bear against the breaking out of a war between the two countries, for it could mean nothing short of ruin to them, and added to this would be the reluctance to take up arms against a country which from the beginning has been Japan's best friend, and. as they say, her "teacher." The Local Problem. Here then lies Hawaii's opportunity; deepen the bond of friendship with the Japanese by that respectful consideration for them to which they as a people are worthily entitled: by the avoidance of that suspicious attitude which some hold toward them as (Irientals, an attitude : fear that is entertained by thoughtful people in regard to the great preponderance of Japanese in the island population is that within a generation there will be a citizen-born Japanese population of such magnitude as to throw the balance of political power into the hands of the Japanese, who could then do with the islands what they please. Should the situation thus contemplated really begin to look serious, we believe that in the intervening years the United States, having full opportunity to observe the trend of things, would prove easily competent to deal with if. but we really do not share the fear thus expressed. For in the first place, we believe that the Japanese are an assimilable people. The dreadful language barrier once broken down, as is being accomplished by our public schools, they show themselves adaptable to our ways of life and government. Some writers would lead us to believe that the ()rient and the Occident are so radically different as to make mutual understanding impossible. We emphatically dissent from this view; and further, would recall the fact that the Japanese are so essentially occidental that immeidately on emerging from their 250 years of seclusion, they cast in their lot With America and Europe, and since that time their assimilation of Occidental civilization has been too wonderfully manifest to require comment. They have adopted and adapted the constitutional The policy and legal .. November, I'MO, pros and cons of the questions are freely and daily discussed—a university in which our whole population is at school, while the government officials, plantation managers, business and professional men are investigating, experimenting and teaching, and forming altogether a distinguished corps of professors who are specialists in this branch of social science. With her peculiarly favorable geographical location, and her large Japanese population, Hawaii has an opportunity enjoyed by no other community for the exchange of courtesies that will strengthen the bonds of international friendship, and she has used that opportunity well. If now, by practical demonstration through education, she can show on a large scale what has already been demonstrated in a wide circle of smaller communities in the world, that the ()riental and the (Accidental are not irreconcilably different, but are brothers with like interests, and each incomplete without the other, she will have performed a service to the world which will give her a unique place in history.

Hawaii's Opportunity. to which could not operate otherwise than to delay the process of assimilation; and by proclaiming to the world that though we are in the middle of the Pacific and nearest target for Japan, we dwell in tranquality and in full confidence in the mutual expressions of friendship exchanged by the United States and Japan. Hawaii can render no more distinguished service to the cause of peace than by believing in peace. Mutual misunderstanding is the cause of more international friction and war than is brought about by clashing interests, for diplomacy can manage the latter, while the former stirs up race prejudice and Chauvinism till it becomes as ungovernable as the fanaticism of "holy war." "As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man." A community like this, whose own selfish interests are deeply involved in the right solution of race issues is, for its own sake, compelled to give the most exhaustive study to such questions. In this way Providence uses even the selfishness of men to help forward the cause of peace and good will among men. Race issues are constantly with us, and Hawaii has thus become a forum in which the LETTER FROM GUAM.

This arch was primarily a mcmoriial to Rev. Mr. Emerson, the first pastor of the Waialua Church. The funds for its erection were subscribed largely by descendants of missionary families who thus sought to show their appreciation of the work of Father and Mother Emerson. The arch like that at Kailua is built entirely of field lava, and is Moorish in structure. It is set in from the street and presents an attractive and hospitable welcome to the passer-by. Sometime, it is to be hoped, suitable bronze tablets will be embedded in the pillars from which the arch springs commemorating not only the Emersons but also the Gulicks ami the Wilcoxes, who were also missionaries at Waialua later and for shorter periods. Mr. Emerson was missionary pastor for nearly thirtyfive years.

Some people really need a course in a religious kindergarten, where they may learn the handiwork of the Great Artist in the beauties of color and form. There is certainly great satisfaction in watching the attempts of awakened souls to make the premises of God's house attractive and inviting. If they do no more than to clear away ancient debris and give stone walls some setting-up exercises, they are pioneers of a better future. If they go further and try their hand at some primitive landscape gardening, they are prophets of a new era. If they overcome natural obstacles ami make a croton or a hibiscus grow where before a kikauia could not have survived, they are apostles of the millenium which shall usher in new heavens and a new earth, especially the latter. There is certainly one man at Waialua whose soul has caught a vision of what a church yard should be. We have seen him at his work, and the fruits of his efforts are beginning to make themselves seen. Would that every church might have one such man or woman, —one who can pray, and plant as well to tlu' glory of God. LEADERSHIP IN COMMUNITY LIFE By Charles F. Dole, D. D. The character of any community is generally what a few of its leading people make it. The trouble with Sodom was that there could not be found in it a dozen men who possessed integrity. Ten men of the right sort could have changed the city and made it fit to live in. The glory of the little city of Athens in its glorious period was centered in a small group of men, statesmen, poets, thinkers, never so many as a hundred I suppose at any one time, who had character enough to set every one else to thinking and acting on their lines. You will often see a strange difference of quality between one class and another class of the same size in a school. You will trace the difference to a few, perhaps not more than two or three, who in one case are good and forceful leaders in the direction of every wholesome and honorable thing, or in the other case are shifty and irresponsible and carry the whole class clown with them. We know just such curious difference between neighboring towns. One is marked by its saloons and its squalor and untidiness, and the other by clean streets, neat looking homes and well-kept churches and school-houses. In one town a few people care about their town and in the other nobody cares! The love of God and the love of the beautiful are natural allies in lifting men to better things. One works from within and the other from without. But both aim for man's best. Somehow while both are natural co-workers, they fail to make connection in altogether too many instances. In many churches they go hand in hand, while in many ,one of them, the love of beauty, seems to be a stranger. Thus the church is unattractive in its architecture, and its surroundings are uncouth and homely to a degree. It seems never to have dawned on the souls of some men who have a genuine love for God, that God delights in the beautiful. We are talking about no undemocratic It may be that theology is to blame for all this. I trow not, however. It is more fact. It is in human nature. If you had a Socialistic Commonwealth tomorrow the same fact would hold true. We all like to see the biggest man at the head of the procession: we want a man somewhat stronger than the average for President or Mayor. It is good for every man of us to see someone better than we are ourselves to admire. See what it did for Jesus' disciples, at first rather commonplace and cowardly men, to keep company with the Master! Let us agree that good leadership is about the most precious commodity in the world. How shall we find it, or develop it? 'The democratic gospel is that it lies about us like ore, in the common human nature. Seek and you shall find!" There is more skill, more music, more dramatic talent, more virtue, more heroism in most communities than ever goes into the newspapers. So there is more power of leadership. Sometimes it is waiting to be called out. as (ieneral Grant's powers simply slumbered till the call of the Civil War came. Often, again, the power is running to mischief. 'The story is told of the governor of one of the States of Mexico, that he had been a formidable captain of bandits in his part of the country. President Diaz sent to this man a proposition that he should enter the service of the Government, and offered to make him governor of the state. He accepted the offer, and they say that no district in Mexico, or indeed anywhere else, was safer than that over which this former robber presided. Why not? The man had energy and brains which he needed to use. Give him the chance to use all his power for the good and you make him happier than he ever was, when putting it out to mischief. In fact you use more of the man now than he used before, and men, specially men of force, are never so happy as when you put every ounce of power and skill in them to use. There are certain boys and men in many a village, maybe loafing around sawaste or even to loons and pool-rooms, making fun and sometimes disturbance, perhaps getting up clubs or leading gangs, setting the fashions of vulgarity for younger boys, running their energies to the demoralization of the community, and yet never really meaning to do harm, to whom no one has ever suggested what better fun they might have by putting their power of leadership on the side of the good! The question is how to turn this waste power where it will help everyone, in- stead of running to waste and hurt. It is like the engineer's problem how to convert the wild power of the waterfall into light and heat. The first point is to �8 face the problem and study the facts. What are the most forceful influences in a given community? .The next point is to have faith that what ought to be done can and must be done. I can only here make certain brief suggestions. For example, you can bank on the fact that there is no community so hopeless, run down and depraved, in which there is not the susceptibility to the stirring of local pride, or better, local patriotism. This is simply to say that man is essentially a social being and he likes to see the social betterment of his neighborhood. They say not even the pigs like to live in a stye! If men and women ever seem to be content to live in squalor, you may be sure that it is because no one has ever given them a reasonable hope of living better. Thus, there is no group of children whom you cannot interest to clean up their streets and plant flowers in the dismal back yards, and put a gleam of beauty and brightness into their windows. In the worst type of community, because it is bad, you have a ready means of appeal to the latent leadership among its people, and specially in its young people, to win it over to the side of the good. ()f course you will use proper tact, so that each new proposed undertaking shall seem to be not some stranger's idea, but the will and the enterprise of the community. November, 1910. THE FRIEND free of shuns and bar-rooms, with proper playgrounds and club rooms, and a civilized people, living in happy homes. He ought to have a deal of sympathy: he must be careful not to denounce people, and so to rouse their opposition. He must see what kind of poisonous or barbarous influence goes to make men "bad," and he must never forget what would have happened if he too had been brought Up and exposed to such kind of bad atmosphere. He must "play fair," even if at times he has to make a distinct stand against some kind of abuse, "graft." "injustice," or immorality. He is never fighting against men. but always for men. even the worst men. 1 le must have plenty of faith in the good nature in men. This is only to say that he needs to believe that men are always the children of God, and, if so, that there must be a good nature in them, and not an evil nature. If anvone wants some fresh evidence of this fact, let him read the true stories in a book published by the Revel! Company, "Twice Born men.!" This is to say. that the one victorious force in this universe is goodness, that is, justice, mercy and modesty. This force is irresistible. ()ur worker cannot carry it with him into any neighborhood and be defeated. Everywhere people respond to it. provided only they are sure it is genuine. They will often not be sure at first: they have frequently been imposed upon: there is an idea with some that "goodness" is a varnish, concealing conceit and selfishness. People are shy of the name of goodness and we must not blame them, but they are never shy of courage or friendliness or honor or generosity, in living human form. Once more our worker needs to take with him a lot of dynamite or energy, (iood will is the highest and most effective form of power. But it is not merely because it is good, but because it is tvill, that is, purpose, determination, devotion. Obviously, again, if we wish to help in the uplift of any community, we shall take advantage of every live growth that we can find in the place. Paul's figure of the wild olive tree, grafted to bear good olives, is fine. 'This is simply using Nature in Nature's own way. Is there a grange in the town, or a club of any sort. or even a dead-alive kind of a church? Wherever there is life we propose to take it to our purpose.

Probably the average American regards less grudgingly no item of the national budget than the moneys which Uncle Sam appropriates once a decade to take the nation's roll. Our typical good citizen may in times of discontent look askance at the increasing sums demand ed by his local school system. He may cultivate convictions anent the proposed pruning of the pension list. If he be ultra radical he may even suspect the wisdom of transferring some millions of unearned increment to grafting contractors through the medium of a new state house. But the census touches him at a vital spot. Boys who grow rapidly sometimes exhibit awkwardness and embarrassment in becoming accommodated to novel conditions. But American municipalities never. To a people that has chosen for itself a magnificent future the appeal of mere hugeness is likely at a certain stage to be irresistible. Wherefore it happens that as the population of the various larger cities is announced by Washington one community after another shouts itself blue in the face in the proclaiming of its prowess, the heralding of its achievements and the disparagement of its rivals. But as with with individuals self esteem is often illogical, so with municipalities. We glory in our cities. Their bigness thrills. We rejoice in the comforts with which they surround us. We hasten to avail ourselves of the enhanced opportunities for useful work which they place within our grasp. We felicitate ourselves upon the intellectual life which they foster. Too frequently we blind ourselves to the plague spots—the iniquity in the council chamber, the peonage in the commercial system, the moral disease which only the privacy of a great town makes possible. And granting even the Utopian elimination of such evils it still remains to be proved whether city conditions can ever allow of sane and normal and healthy life from generation to generation. The call of the soil, feeble as it is, reminds us that our pride of bigness involves a glorying in congested living, a tolerance of scant air and sunshine, an endorsement of the inevitable handicap which the city places upon no small number of those who compose it. In view of this we may well pause at the thought that our national metropolis is nearing the five million mark, and that the automobile industry has swelled certain middle west cities at rates varying from fifty �November, l°dO. THE FRIEND. to two hundred per cent for the decade. All considered, woods and meadows and brooks and birds do more for men than motor cars and subways. An increase in the area of land and in the cubic footage of pure air alloted to each individual is after all more to be desired than a raising of the per capita wealth or success in reaching the seven figure population column. There are sermons in the census, and the citizen who peruses with pride the returns will do well to think further than the satisfaction of national' selfmeasurement. Whither We May Move. If the city is eventually to vindicate itself as a wholesome abode a two-fold process will be necessary. Both phases of it have begun. In the first place, abnormal conditions must be met by a determined effort to import the helpful features of a rural environment. 'The tenement of the notorious type must give way to a system of homes and home-grouping which shall permit a maximum of sunlight and air. As far as such a thing is possible the park and playground must take the part of the woods and meadows. 'This is the phase of substitution. How far it will succeed is for experiment to demonstrate. About the second phase there can be no question as to policy or efficacy. Certain accompaniments of city life are unmistakably a menace and owe their continued existence only to the lackadaisical tolerance and inertia of our civic consciousness. To them measures of elimination should be applied at once. They include what may be classed as the minor nuisances. A certain amount of noise and confusion is of course unavoidable in certain city sections. It is false altruism, however, to treat more considerately the ledger of a corporation than the nerves of a community and in consequence allow a transportation system to make the streets hideous. It is criminal to endanger the peace and safety of a town for lack of initiative to banish certain practices which once had their use but have become obsolete and harmful. Recent criticisms upon the sounding of tire alarms in Honolulu are well taken. The alarm had its origin when the means of checking conflagrations were less adequate than they are at present, and in the need for assembling fire-fighters and arousing the community to its danger. Now iliat the extinguishing of fires is left to a paid organization it would seem that the less the disturbance the better that organization could do its work and the greater would be the tranquility of the community. The same principle applies in large measure to the ringing of church bells. Once it was necessary to summon . 9 the clockless countryside to meeting by means of a signal. Today each vest pocket bears its timepiece and the hour of service is set. 'To burden the air with a paroxysm of bell tolling is therefore a needless desecration of the Sabbath peace, and in a city constitutes no mean addition to the liabel of unavoidable noises. The boisterous factory whistle, the rattling conveyance, the fire alarm and the church bell are a few of the nuisances which deserve to go the way of the fire-cracker. It may be possible eventually to achieve a sensible year as well as a sane Independence Day. One More Nuisance. To those who work for the of the billboard a suggestion periodical may he of interest. comments that no community elimination in a recent of western education in China. Some weeks ago a group of seventy Chinese students paused at Honolulu on their way to American universities. They are nearing the heights of what the Occident is pleased to call higher learning. The young men showed themselves accomplished, liberal minded, filled with worthy purpose. It was an inspiration for .us at the cross-roads to meet them. It will be a matter of some satisfaction presumably to the chairs of several mainland universities to grace them with the final touches. In rejoicing at the product, however, let us not overlook the planning and the endeavor, the sacrifice and the disappointment which have entered into their preparation. For several decades an army of devoted Americans and Europeans has labored in the east at what, but for its faith and vision, must again and again have seemed a hopeless and thankless task. To love an Asiatic in the rough, to continue loving him individually anil in the aggregate for indefinite years, to bridge the differences that yawn between his footing of view and morals and one's own. to work unceasingly for his self-discovery and toward the stimulation of his nobler instincts—these are the motives that have actuated mission forces for the last few decades, and that have made possible the Boxer indemnity bond. And today many a courageous worker is sifting his hordes and picking his promising children, drilling them in fundamentals, passing them on to the preparatory school, then waving them farewell as they leave to learn the ways of engineers and lawyers and teachers. They are to honor China and America in their labors. To the isolated missionary belongs the bulk of the credit, and the world should know it. May the finishers not forget to stretch hands across the sea to the patient beginners of the Chinese uplift. 'The article seems thus tar to have adopted the expedient of taxing billboards, and argues that the advertiser might fairly be required to make return for his privilege of display.

Why not, therefore, when he borders and crosses a street with bis sign, pay the city as well as the agent?

The great present day patriots of these two nations are not the greedy money grabbers, jealous politicians, hysterical non-re- ligious reformers, or indulgent "joy riders" but the men who. amid the straining scenes of an over-pressed life, are making big, deep, far-reaching plans for the extension of the matchless power of Jesus Christ. Every man thus engaged is building foundations that will stand the superstructure of coming years' growth. In this connection a plan is being rapidly developed of unparalleled proportions to bring the men and boys of the continent to face anew their opportunity and responsibility in relation to the Christian religion. The plan contemplates a program of mighty emphasis for the next eighteen months, and is being backed by the denominational brotherhoods, the Men's Department of the International Sunday School Association, the Young Men's Christian Associations, and through these the very strongest pastors and Christian laymen. The movement is to reach its highest point in eight-day campaigns in about ninety cities during the season of 1911-12, but the advance is to begin at once, and is to be given its strongest impetus in the setting-up conference to lie held in Buffalo, October 25 and 26. At this time delegates from the ninety cities will meet in Westminster Presbyterian Church to perfect the plan and set the forces in action.

Notes From the Field FRANK S. SCUDDER A Japanese Christian Funeral It was not modelled on prayerbook or liturgical form, nor even patterened just after funerals seen in churches, but its ceremony was beautiful because it was planned out in that spirit of love which "doth not behave itself unseemly, and seeketh not her own." A poor man had died of a contagious disease. During his sickness no one wanted to expose himself to the disease, so Mr. , our evangelist, stepped into the breach and nursed the dying man until he had no further need of human ministry, and then with his own hands washed the corpse and prepared it for the burial. According to custom, the funeral is regarded as a legitimate source of large income to the temple. Money is demanded for this and that, and even the humblest funeral is costly to the bereaved; but, said the evangelist, we will establish a new custom, and as this man's family is poor, let us have everything done without asking for any money. So the believers bought the coffin, and brought flowers in abundance and a company of 'H) persons, members of the church and the temperance society, accompanied the mourners all the way to the grave, walking, to save the heavy expense always incurred in providing carriages. ()ne thing which the evangelist could not refuse without causing embarrassment and offense to the friends of the dead, was the gift of money they offered him as a slight token of their appreciation for his services. This therefore he accepted, but with it at once purchased some of the necessaries of life, and presented them to the family as a token of his sympathy. Illiterate Japanese, who have been away from their own country during its progress in Christian enlightenment, still hold strange ideas in regard to Christian customs. One of these is that Christians drive nails into the bodies of the dead as a symbol of union with the nail-pierced Christ, but the high regard for the memory of even the humblest brother Christian, which was shown on this occasion, has banished such notions from those who came and saw and listened. It is needless to say that every person in the camp who was able to sit or stand attended this unusual funeral, and the evangelist had an audience of over 300 persons who listened long and eagerly to a ; gospel whose spirit was so beautifully exemplified by the devoted brotherhood. OF JAPANESE WORK, WAILUKU, MAUI. REPORT Since the last quarterly report quite a number of changes have taken place. The departure of Rev. (J. Tanaka, his son and niece and Miss Asa Konichi for California, and Mrs. S. Kanda for Japan, all active workers in the Japanese mission. Recent letters from Mr. 'Tanaka show that he is pleasantly located in his new home and work at Riverside, Cal. We are looking forward to the return of Mrs. Kanda about Christmas time. We gladly welcome the new workers. Rev. Mr. Mamiya and wife, also Miss [garashi, all recently from Japan, all enthusiastic in the work, which moves mi with a good degree of success. The day school has an attendance of lifts, all, of which are members of the Sunday school. Several of the young nun have left Wailuku because they wished to seek employment elsewhere, or because of ill health, which made a change necessary. We are sorry to say that Mr. G. Nakatsu, an earnest faithful worker in our mission, is now in Kona because of failing health. 'The Y. M. C. A. meetings are still well attended as arc also the Sunday evening services. Mr. Mamiya has a class of young men for Bible study each Sunday morning, also the first and third Sunday afternoons of each month a similar class for women, and the first and third Monday evenings of each month a Bible study class for the young men at Kahului, at the home of Mr. Kobayashi. The Japanese Woman's Society still forms an interesting part of the mission work. Since the opening of the new school two meetings have been held. At the first seventeen women and many children. At the last meeting October 15th there was a larger gathering of twentyfive women, and as many children, mostly the mothers of the children connected with the Mission Day School. The women gathered first in the church, where a short program was prepared which consisted of opening exercises conducted by Miss Igarashi, followed by a brief talk on"The Care of the Body," by Miss Turner, after which the November, 1910, women adjourned to the schoolroom to have a good time, (lames were played, such as trying to pin the hat on the cloth picture of a man. which was pinned to the wall, witli the eyes blindfolded, then blowing out the lighted candle. This seemed to cause much merriment, both by women and children. Anything in the line of simple games seem to be enjoyed by the Japanese women. The Japanese school for young men for the study of English has a membership of ten. Miss Turner assisting them two evenings of each week, while Mr. Love gives them two evenings. Miss Igarashi has made about thirtyfive calls on Japanese families within the past month and a half. CHARLOTTE L TURNER, Resident Worker, (Jctober 16, 1910.

A very important part of the _work amoung young people of our islands is with the boys. The youth of today is the citizen of tomorrow, and we have a great responsibility in training the boys it: the elements of good character and good citizenship. To this end it is well for us to face the question, "How shall we present to boys an idea of life which in their hearts they recognize as good and desirable and as possible for them to try for?" We must first determine whether boys have this right idea or standard instinctively or whether they need to have it given them. Is it not true that the average boy needs to be waked up to a comparison of his own life with a better standard? Is the right standard given him by home trainiing? To know Christ as the standard and to have personal loyalty to Him is being a Christian. That is, that a boy needs to know Christ as the standard in such a way that Christ is real to him, that he will admire Christ, and, to an extent, understand Him, will want to be like him. not only in the qualities that appeal to him. but in those that he does not understand. He needs to learn that putting all of one's energy, purpose and life into everything one does is Christ's way of doing. What qualities should be put emphasis on? We should begin with what a boy can understand, and if he follows Christ he will in time learn all he needs to know. In so starting a boy there are certain inefficient and harmful things to beware of. We must avoid, first, stock phrases such as "Coming to Christ," "Doing God's will," and the like; second, we should avoid telling a boy to be "good," "kind," "gentle" (these words have no attraction for a genuine boy); third, avoid making appeal to self-interest. Do make Christian living too easy. There is something in us all, and above all in a boy, that responds to an appeal to do hard things without hope of reward. Study Christ's words to those who wish to follow Him. Fourth, we should avoid appealing much to feelings, pressing on his attention the emotional side of religion. He hears now of God's love and sacrifice, but it is later that it will make its strongest appeal to him. The impression made on him now by this should become a motive of action. Give the boy something to do. Avoid sentimentality in religion as you would the plague. A boy who is the victim of these mistakes is disgusted or mystified or made morbid if he docs not become a hypocrite or a prig. not The boys who are the least trouble are not the most promising, but rather those wdio keep things in a turmoil. We have many kinds to deal with, and in some cases the manly qualities are to be built up, in others directed and cleared of evil. A boy needs to know that God has given him his boy nature to use in a boy's way and yet in God's way, and that he is not called to put off boyhood when be is a Christian. A boy'needs first, squareness, honesty, fair-play. This in games, in work, in fighting, in trading and swopping. Second, he needs generosity, the sense of honor, standing for fair-play, chivalry. This is the ground of friendship as illustrated in the case of David and Jonathan. 'Third, he needs serviceableness, bearing one's share, unselfishness, kindness (do not call it that), going out of the way to help. Tell a boy, "Think of other people instead of yourself and do not try to get the best for yourself." Fourth, the boy needs grit, "sand," sticking to work, not to be downed by anything, be it problem, homesickness or pain, and he needs steadfastness and faithfulness to duty. Fifth, he needs moral courage, fearlessness and not to be afraid to acknowledge himself in the wrong. Sixth, he needs clean living and thinking and speaking. Some one has written, "Don't you think that a Christian boy is one who tells the truth, keeps his speech and his thoughts clean, and is slow to fight, keep- How about your Sunday School Supplies for next Year ? Consult the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms ing his temper under control? A soft answer turns away wrath, and how many quarrels have been avoided by a laugh and a joke. This does not mean being a coward, however, for he must be brave above all things, physically and morally, and must stand for fair play, daring to fight a boy twice his size if he is bullying a small one; or if he finds he is wrong, to admit it before the whole school. Thoughtful of what he can do for others always ready with a helping hand and cheerful word—doing his work cheerfully and well. In playtime he throws himself into the games with a zest and good fellowship and sense of fairness which makes the recess twice as much fun for all. Such a boy is bound to be a leader; vile stories and mean acts will stop when he is present, and what he says will go with the boys. Who can say how much good such a clean, wholesome honest boy will do just by living in his little world? I think this is what it means to be good and to do right, and the reason I recommend it is because the three most Christlike men I have ever known began by being such boys as this." The "Teen" Age and How We May Win and Hold Them. The "Teen" age, from thirteen years nineteen, is a critical period in the lives of many young people. If they are won and held for the Master in those years, there is a strong likelihood that they will continue to be followers of Christ during their lives. The practical question is two-fold, first, how may they be won, and second, how may we hold them ? They may be won, first, by personal touch, the close, vital contact of a life earnestly, quietly, confidently seeking to be of real help. There follows the necessity of knowing and understanding the boys and girls well. And there is also the need of knowing the interests and inner lives of the pupils and meeting their needs and interests along the lines of their tastes. It is after all not a very hard matter to win the young people in a formal way at least. The real problem is not one of how to attract them into the church and Sunday-school, but of how to hold their interest and make them loyal to the higher life. One answer that has often been given is "Build a wall of fathers between them and the door." Give them the idea that the Sunday-school is not a "kid's affair," but a place for manly men. That is good, but we shall find the boys burrowing under or climbing over or boring through that wall unless we do something more than that. If we put all our men into one big class, and try to build to �November. 1910. THE FRIEND. 15 For six months the waves tossed this kind singing sharply, and the other singat ing from time to time.

Straight out toward the ocean was the narrow entrance to the harbor, through which rolled the finest surf waves of the I lonolulu part of the island ( )ahu. 'The surf bore the name "Ke-kai-o-Mainala," "the sea of Mamala." When the surf rose high it was called " ka-nuku-o-MamaU," "the nose of Mamala." So the sea and entrance to the harbor were known by the name Mamala, and the shore gave the name Kou to the bay. Mamala was a chiefess of Kupua character. This meant that she was a moo or gigantic lizard or crocodile, as well as a beautiful Beautiful woman, and could assume whichever shape she most desired. One of the legends says that she was a shark anil woman, and had for her husband the shark-man, < hlha, afterward a shark god having his home in the ocean near Coco head. Mamala and < Hlha drank awa together and played konane on the smooth konane stone at Kou. Mamala was a wonderful surf-rider. Very skillfully she danced on the roughest waves. The surf in which she most delighted rose far out in the rough sea. where the winds blew strong and whitecaps were on waves which rolled in rough disorder into the bay of Kou. The people on the beach, watching her, filled the air with resounding applause as they clapped their hands over her extraordin- ary athletic feats. The chief, I lono-kau-pu, chose to take Mamala as his wife, so she left Ouha and lived with her new husband. ( hlha was angry and tried at first to injure Mono ami Mamala, but be was driven away. He fled to the lake Ka-ihi-Kapu towards Waikiki. There he appeared as a man with a basketful! of shrimps and fresh fish, which he offered to the women of that place, saying, "Here is life (i.e., a living thing) for the children." He opened his basket, but the shrimps and the fish leaped out and escaped into the water. 'The women ridiculed the god-man. 'The ancient legendary characters of all Polynesia as well as of Hawaii could not endure anything that brought shame or disgrace upon them in the eyes of others. Ouha fled from the taunts of the women, casting off his human form, and dissolving his connection with humanity. 'Thus he became the great god-shark of the coast between Waikiki and Coco Head. The surf-rider was remembered in the beautiful mele or chant coming from ancient times and called the mele of llonokau-pu. "The surf rises at Koolau, Blowing the waves into mist, tut: friend.

It may not be out of place at the end of a summer outing, to tell the readers of "The Friend" some of our experiences while away on the other side of the "Pond." Many of our readers visited Europe; some spent pleasant weeks with friends in old America, but a few of us journeyed North from San Francisco, passing through Salem and Portland, ( Oregon, crossed the Columbia Isiver, visited Taconia and Seattle, with their various attractions, and continued still further North into South-Eastern Alaska. From Seattle it was only a twelve days' round trip by steamer to Skagway and return, yet time enough to see and learn much of a most interesting country and its people.

His large trading stores, salmon cannery, saw mill, and other operations are worked by Indians under his directions. 'The village is well laid out, with its wharves, streets, town hall, schoolhonses and large church building. 'These arc all the work of the mission people, tinder Mr. Duncan's supervision. 'The people are all religious, and appear as well civilized and educated as our own people here. Laborers in the cannery and saw mill receive wages as follows: Women, 15c; boys, 10c; and men 20c per hour. 'Their last season's output was 46,-(XX) cases salmon.

Bishop Honda has the distinction of being the first, and thus far the only Japanese who has been consecrated to the office of bishop.

Strong pressure was brought to bear upon him to represent his district in the Diet, when that body was first opened in 18't).

Green and white are the color effect on the outside; the inside is highly polished with exposed truss work to the very roof. The accoustics are perfect. The church is supplied with an organ and hymn books, the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, who attend church here every week. Mr. Cooke plays the organ, and keeps the congregation up to excellent time in the singing. Rev. Mr. Gulick preached the sermon of dedication. A printed service, which was prepared with the help of Mr. NaIcuina some two years ago, and published by Mr. Dodge, was used by the pastor and his congregation. Over $200 was raised by the convention for the church, and the small remaining debt is now entirely cleared off. The work of the Monthly Ministers' School of Maui showed good results in the presentation to the meeting of some excellent work in the Old Testament prophets by those who had been working together along other lines of study for the past few years. Under Mr. Judd's stimulating opening lecture at the class last month upon the Prophets, the suggestion was made that several of the men prepare and read papers at this Kaunakakai meeting. Excellent work of an unusually interesting character was presented by Mr. John Kalino and Key. George M. Kauaulalena, and some Knglish speaking Obedience to deserted by friends and relatives.

Professor Alexander's History informs us that one hundred years ago, or from 1809 to 1816, through the agency of the Russian governor of Alaska, Baranoff, and others, several Russian adventurers and traders visited these islands, and gained a slight foothold on the island of Kauai, but by the command of Kamehameha I. their enterprises were thwarted and they were expelled from these islands. In 1816 the famous explorer Kotzebue visited these islands and held friendly intercourse with Kamehameha. Since then for a hundred years the Russian people have scarcely touched Hawaii. Now in a wholly different form have the Russians come into our midst. A few of them are to be found at Pahoa in the ohia forests of Puna, working in the saw mill which is producing ohia ties for California railroads. Companies of them arc to be found on several of the sugar plantations. A scattered few have found employ in Honolulu; and there remains a small colony in the district of Iwilei in I lonolulu. A most interesting work for the children of the Iwilei settlement has been begun by Miss Isabel Namau, assisted by Miss Mabel Ahina, of the Kaumakapili church. These two ladies have gathered upwards of forty of the children of this suburb in a Sunday school. From 25 to 30 of these interesting Russian children, together with six or seven Hawaiian, and two or three Porto Rican children were in attendance at the Kaumakapili Sunday school review last Sabbath morning, led by the tact and loving supervision of these two Hawaiian maidens. The gospel light was brought to these shores ninety years ago. and now we find these Hawaiian Christian ladies bringing these gospel blessings to these children of Russia. God bless the faithful Sunday school teachers and give them the joy of seeing gospel light spreading among our jwlyglot people. O. H. G. Ji BOY SCOUTS. Colonel Bullard. of the 2'2nd U. S.

A number of prominent local educators and people interested in boys heard him, and as a result are "boosting" the movement. About 70 boys are already enrolled. FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS IN JAPAN. Some contributions have come unsolicited to the Hawaiian Board for the flood sufferers in Japan. Naturally there are sonic who like to contribute in this way because of their friendship with missionaries in Japan. Especial interest is felt by some because in the very center of the flooded district lives Rev. Hilton Redley, who is well known and highly esteemed here both by Americans and Japanese, and through whose co-operation a new evangelist and wife are now on their way to take up work in Hawaii nei. Mr. Pedley's personal losses by reason of the flood were heavy, and the homes of many of his Japanese fellow workers and Christians were damaged or swept away. If others wish to aid the sufferers thus through the agency of the missionaries of the American Board, their contributions will be forwarded by Mr. Theodore Richards, treasurer of the Hawaiian Board. Box 489, Honolulu. Ji A NOBLE RECORD We feel sure that the readers of The Friend will find this report of the educational work carried on by Rev. Mr. Okumura most interesting: During the past fifteen years 251 children have been received into the Japanese Christian Boarding School for the purpose of English and Japanese education under my care of Christian training. ()f these students ?i~ were girls. Some of the children have remained with us more than ten years, while some have left in a few months. Our school has provided for mercantile life in Honolulu, two faithful banking clerks; also several clerks and workers who fill responsible places in stores and on plantations. Eight of our young men are receiving higher education on the mainland. We give especial thanks to God for His help and guidance in sending one of our earnest Christian workers to the field at F.wa, while another is sent to the Osaka Bible School. My son is taking a theological course at Vale College. Six more young men are preparing for Christian ministry. These are encouraging facts, and we feel sure our kind-hearted friends who have so generously assisted our work, from time to time, will join us in thanksgiving. The much-talked of Mid-Pacific Institute is a reality. We take pleasure in sending our boys to the Institute. We are grateful that the many hard problems are solved, and that our school con- October. 1910. tinucs tinder the auspices of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association as a preparatory to the Institute.

We trust the government may SM its way clear to give the largest measure of approval to the plans of Prin. Lyman by making it easy for the school to acquire the land in question for the proposed ex- periment station. Note.—Since this paragraph was in type, the above mentioned tract of land has been placed under the control of the Federal Experiment Station, who will establish on it a Farm Experiment Station under the direct management of Prin. Lyman. This arrangement is an eminently wise one, and we congratulate all parties concerned. J» Clinching a Good Thing. A pledge to give $5000 to the perma- endowment of llilo Boarding School has just been received by the trust-cs conditioned on the securing of $10,000 from other givers, thus making a prospective addition of $15,000 to the permanent funds of this well-known and successful school. There is no more worthy call before the giving public of Hawaii today than to clinch this generous gift by raising the necessary $10,(KM) to secure it. It should be an easy matter to accomplish this. The securing of the $15,000 thus hoped for would bring the permanent endowment of the school to within $1().0(X) of the $100.<XX) fund which would make the school under present conditions self-supporting. Will not some of the generous givers of the Territory take Up this matter at once, and make it possible, first of all, to secure the $5000 conditionally pledged, and then later to secure the final $10.()(K) to make the permanent endowment of $1(X),(MX) complete? nent Jl Working 7 mi-: FRIEND October. I'MO on Right Lines. The training at llilo Hoarding School is specially practical, and suited to the needs of the young men who are served by this school. Special training is provided in intelligent farming. Efforts are being made to secure a specially desirable tract of government land adjoining the school premises, which will be devoted to farm experiments under Mr. Clowes, a man well equipped by nature and educa- tion for this responsible task. There is no measurement of the value of this kind of training for many of the youth of Hawaii. They must get on to the land, in considerable numbers, or go to the wall. To know how to compel the land to give forth its riches is an education worth having. For the government Politics and Religion. They will mix. In fact, they mix a good deal in this country. Were it not for this fact, possibly politics would be worse than at present. In all likelihood religion helps polities more than politics helps religion. Certainly the deeper religious convictions have less sway where the atmosphere is surcharged with political excitement. This was the case recently at llilo where the Association was sandwiched in with two political conventions, At some of the gatherings it was difficult to detect at a distance whether a man was a Republican or a Home Ruler or a Christian! The writer was A Seven Days' Wonder. The paflplie of Molokai have witnessed a mysterious transformation. A bell buoy off Kamaloo Point, that has for years refused to ring, and has Ix-en a sort of tossing sphinx on the uneasy billows of that treacherous coast-line, has suddenly acquired the |>owcr to semi out a searching flashlight that has amazed the fishermen. This has been due to the installing of an acetylene gas lamp in the buoy, that, I am told, needs no caretaker, but works automatically, and is good for six months' service without renewal. No one goes to the light at eventide, but lo! the astonished beholders see the Hash come out across the waters regularly with the dying of the day. Three of us rode for miles together alongshore, a Japanese, a Hawaiian, and a haole. We talked about the mysterious light. We talked in a comical mixture of Hawaiian, English and nondescript. The Japanese was the inquisitive one, the iiaole furnished the requisite information and the Hawaiian dilated in detail on every feature of the marvelous light. The marvel grew in the eyes of the Japanese at every new development. The cheapness ness of the light, the long duration of the light, the value of water in producing the light, the simplicity of the process, all appealed to the ()riental imagination. He had evidently had his troubles with kerosene lamps. Here was an easy solution for all his troubles. Why couldn't he have a flashlight buoy in his house? present at a Supervisors' meeting during And after a fashion he may. and probliis stay in Hilo that was opened with ably will, for nothing is more than a prayer; and he passed the hall where a seven days' wonder in these crowding political convention was singing days that bring the world's latest inventions and plant them squarely in th* face, "( hir fathers' (iod, to thee. of primitive people who are fast becomAuthor of liberty, ing the only ones who wonder at anyTo thee we sing: thing.

DAMON A MID-PACIFIC GENESIS WITH AN INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE In a recent issue of The Friend a somewhat detailed account of the developing work of the "Mid-Pacific Institute," in both its departments, was given.

We feel sure that the noble friend who, with such large foresight, gave this spacious structure to the cause of Christian education, and those other friends, who have so generously aided in its most satisfactory furnishings, will rejoice in the good use being made of this new school home. It will be of interest to our friends, we believe, to know that in the boarding department of Mills School there are now one hundred and forty-four (144) students, and in the day school forty (40) additional pupils, a total of one hundred and eighty-four students ( iX4). Of this number 87 are Chinese. 64 Japanese, 27 Koreans, 4 Hawaiians. 1 Marshal Islander. 1 Philippino. In our (iirls' Department, Kawaiahao Seminary, there are one hundred and six (106) pupils.

Later the company adjourned to the beautiful assembly ball, where a most stimulating and interesting hour was passed. "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" were sung in full chorus, with rousing and inspiring effect. Addresses in the Cantonese and Mandarin dialects and in English followed in quick succession. As the names ot the different provinces of the empire were called, the students representing a particular province rose ami, as the list was made up we found that nine of the provinces of the great land of China had their representatives in our sea-girt territory. From Chili on the north to Ouangtung and Quangsi on the south, including many of the central provinces, bordering the great YangtsekiaiiLT river, they brought their greetings. One told us of his home in that mighty province, in the far west of China adjoining Thibet, a province with an area equal to that of France. Some had been students in different imperial institutions, while others came from St. John's College in Shanghai, from the Christian College of Canton, and other missionary schools. It was a wonderful and splendid roll-call, eloquent in its suggestions of the great work now going forward in China, and prophetic of that still greater work which is to be accomplished. These students have gained the privilege of continuing their studies on the mainland of the United States as a result of their success in passing recently certain competitive examinations in Peking. Their expenses are paid from the lioxer Indemnity Fund, the return of which to China by the government of the United States is one of the noblest and most Christian acts in the history of the onward growth of the human race. These young men, the flower and hope of modem China, form the largest band of students yet sent out by the Chinese government. They are by this time busily at work in some nine of our leading American universities. It is a pleasure for the Friend to present with this issue a picture of this truly historic company, with certain of their island friends, taken at the entrance portal of Mills School, of the Mid-Pacific Institute.

D •t Central Union Church. . Some who could not have the privilege of hearing the series of sermons delivered by Dr. White this summer at Central Union Church have expressed a wish that one of them might be printed in The Friend. We take pleasure, therefore, in presenting to our readers the following, which was the last of the series: Doctor White said: " 'No sign shall be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah.' The Pharisees asked for a sign, that is, they were after a shortcut to intellectual certainty. The passion for shortcuts, so characteristic of our age, and of all ages, is by no means always a reprehensible thing, as Jesus asserts it was in this particular case. Whether it is wholesome or vicious depends on the kind of shortcut a 111.111 is after. "A goodly fraction of the railway activity of recent years has gone into precisely this work of securing straighter and shorter tracks from place to place, the abolishing of curves, the avoidance of high grades, the tunneling of ridges and mountain ranges. The whole difference between failure and dividends frequently hinges on the discovery of a short cut that makes possible the avoidance of the curve over and the curve around. "I.cc had Grant at bay and foiled him repeatedly during that awful summer of 1H64, for the Simple reason that be bad possttsiou of the inside lines: in other words, controlled the short cuts. Lee could go straight: Grant had to go around. Every successful invention represents a short cut to efficiency: every tool furnishes a short cut to the working hand and arm: telegraph and telephone afford short cuts for speech; speech itself is the consummate short cut in getting ideas from man to man. The history of civilization might be written in terms of the short cut. All honor then to th: human endeavor that keeps up a rest less search for the short cut. "But there are short cuts and short —those that merit only praise, those on the other hand that spell disgrace; those on the one hand that represent a large investment of energy and treasure, those on the other that express sheer laziness and ineritia and the passion to get something for nothing. It is needles to say that Jesus accuses the Pharisees, in their search for a sign, of being guilty of this latter thing. "For wjiat has happened? A wonderful man has appeared that has set the nation agog. The crowd is talking about him. The mob is thronging him. I le said striking things. Never man spake like this man. He spoke with an insight and authority never detected in the scribe. He did marvelous things., Health exhaled from his touch like fragrance from an apple orchard in full bloom. He was unusual from every point of view. His personality, his treachery, his character, his deeds, all presented a puzzle that baffled the cleverest. Who was he? What might he be? What they should do is honestly to test him. study him, observe him, examine his claims; in a word, think their problem through. But that takes time, takes brains, takes a costly expenditure of energy. They balk at that. They are busy men, they will have the question settled out of hand. 'Show us a sign,' they demand. In other words. 'Do someWe thing startling, extraordinary. haven't time to waste over you. If you want us to take you at your own rating, compel us to l>elieve by some feat of magic power.' You see what that means, the demand for satisfaction without being willing to pay the cost. They wanted the quarry without the fatigue of the hunt. They asked that the truth be put in their open palms done up in a neat parcel, properly labeled and accredited, without so much effort on their part as the turn of a hand. They wanted, in a word, something for nothing. cuts, October, 1910. "The moment you get at the true inwardness of the situation, you see what a common, prevalent thing it is with which we are dealing, lt has a score of disguises, but is the same spirit of mischief and evil under every disguise. Why do people wear amulets and repeal charms? Simply because they have juggled themselves into believing that they can cheat the laws of nature and purchase personal safety in some cheap way that requires no personal watchfulness and effort. I low explain the vogue of the fortune-teller and the medium? Why. they stand in popular thought for clever shortcuts to bidder* information, to fortune and success. What is the secret of the sway of popular superstitions concerning numbers and days, lucky and unlucky, and the like? Simply, that they are supposed to represent occult influences beyond the control of the will, which, if you can manage to avoid their CV I eye and curry favor with them, will work for you instead of against you, and guarantee immunity from danger and a sure road to success, and leave you care free into the bargain. "These, however, only begin the enumeration. Men are after the short cut in health. A familiar advertisement pictures a gormand with a broad smile on his face seated behind a plethoric turkey sprinkling it with pep-salt, some such legend as this underneath: 'He has no fear of a hearty meal." The advertisement is a symptom; it answers to a widespread demand, the demand for some device by which a man may eat what and all he pleases, abuse his digestion, violate every law of health, throw caution to the winds, and be immune from the consequences. Many a man, and woman, too, has use for the doctor only as a sort of insurance to cover the risks of reckless indulgence and vicious habit. "Men want the short cut in business, and so long as they want it with such unanimity there will be no lack of lambs to be fleeced by the bucket shop and devoured by the larger carnivora of the board of trade. Each new day will furnish a fresh quota of gullible victims for the fake mine, oil well and real estate promoter; and all the king's horses and all the king's men will not be'able to hold back the crowds that throng the gambling halls and j)ore over the colored dope sheet of the yellow press. Mighty is the hunger of humanity to get something for nothing. "Men want intellectual short cuts. Multitudes have found a haven of mental rest in the Roman Church; for �THE FRIEND October, I'MO. the church has said with siren voice, 'Trust your minds and consciences with me, and I will hold them in safe keeping. Leave your doubts with me for solution. I will think for you. prescribe for you, si live problems for you, guarantee the fufor you.' "Storm-tossed and perplexed spirits through the centuries have yielded in vast numbers to the fascinating spell of a great institution that saves them the stern necessity of hard thinking and perplexing discrimination, and stands ready at any moment to speak the final word. Its power will continue so long as men are caught by the lure of the elusive shortcut to spiritual certainty. ture "Men want the short cut in character Most men. it is safe to say all men, would like to be better than they are. They would rather be good than bad. They would be good if it weren't too inconvenient and costly. If only they could take goodness in capsule or tabloid form at night and wake up the next morning transformed in tastes, purposes and enthusiasms—if they could but take their old natures to the tailor or cobbler, and. Tike clothes or shoes, have them mended while you wait—if only they might make a lucky find of a remnant character on the bargain counter, to be purchased for a song—you could have heaven on earth tomorrow. I believe with all my heart in a genuine and passionate evangelism, lint if popular evangelism is suffering any disrepute, it arises from the fact that it offers to the unthinking crowd the one thing it dearly loves, viz., an easy, too easy, shortcut into the kingdom of heaven. Thousands repudiate the Christian life today because they look upon themselves as the victims of misplaced confidence. For were they not assured that, given but the lifting of a band, a word of confession, a breath of prayer in a moment of contagious excitement, and. presto! old things would pass away and all things would become new; whereas, they found themselves facing the old devil the next day, with a fiercer fight on than before? The hunger for short cuts in religion is ineradicable; men are bound to have something in character for nothing. And in the reaction of disillusionment and disappointment that inevitably follows the abortive attempt they renounce the whole quest with a curse, to the infinite loss of the Master and their own. " 'An evil and adulterous generation seeketb after a sign,' replied Jesus to the demand of the crowd, 'and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet: for even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation.' What hapand destiny. Simply this: Jonah the prophet Nineveh and warned the people of impending calamity. The Ninevites saw the point. They did not parley, or palaver, or hedge, or shuffle or evade. Without more ado they did what all people in the possession of their senses should do—they set about averting the calamity. They knew where the shoe pinched. They made use of eye and ear and brain and conscience and common They repented, reformed their sense. lives, paid the price in changed characters, cleaned house morally—and the threatening clouds cleared away. 11 are no others. "Men want intellectual certainty. They ask for a sign, a voice out of the sky, a message written on the heavens, an authoritative verdict from a papal chair. And they can have no sign but that of the prophet Jonah. Oh, you cannot have something for nothing. You must pay the price of honest search, eager striving, genuine struggle, determined thinking. You have reason. Do not despise it; use it; it is from God and leads to God. You have conscience: cultivate it. You have the Bible; study and interpret it. You have prayer: revel in it.

The advertising of the Association this fall is the most systematic system of getting men interested in the organization that has yet been made. First a pamphlet called "Where to Invest Your Surplus: A Suggestion to Young Men," was issued. This described the Association in action, showing the prospective member just bow it would be to belong to the Association, the things he could do, and the men he would meet. This was followed by a letter to a selected list of business men urging the importance of exercise and describing our facilities for regular and special gymnasium work. To rouse the ambition of young men and get them interested in the educational work, a short illustrated pamphlet called "Some Pointers on Getting There" was issued. There were five of these pointers, of which we reproduce the first: POINTER NO. 1. of work in our night school. < )ver a hundred attractive window cards were distributed. An exhibit of former students' work was placed in the window of Day & Co. An attractive sign in front of the building tells the courses we offer, and a similar one shows what classes are held in the gymnasium. With What Re.ult ? We are going to break all records in membership and educational enrollment and men using the gymnasium. We now feel sure of 800 members, and 250 in the night school, How we need our new building!

The solution of this problem is the work of the young Men's Christian Association and the churches. We put the Association first because of its more ready access to the young men. and its all-week adaptability to their needs. To y;et hold of these men is the chief ambition of the religious work committee. To this end it has organized a "Watchman's Band," a group of young men who will keep their eyes open for strangers coining to town, and also be on the watch for young men who appear to be going wrong. The group will meet one night a week for Bible study ami conference under the leadership of a business man who has had very successful experience in work for young men, leading them to right living and church activity.

Last issue we published a quotation from a Chicago secretary on the field of the Young Men's Christian Association. Let us now offer the following quotation from Prof. Theo. C. Scares of Chicago I'Diversity on the function of the Association. "If anyone ever had the notion, from a study of the Young Men's Christian Association, that a gymnasium or a reading room or a cafe were provided in order sooner or later to get a man into a prayer meeting, he failed entirely to grasp the Association idea. The objective is not the prayer meeting but the man. The man is to be found through every avenue of interest, and his full manhood is to be developed in relating his complex self to his task in the world in a real consecration to human advancement. The function of the Association, then, is not to get men converted, the various privileges being the baits that are used to catch the fish. Nor is it to provide a respectable young men's club, a little religion tacked on to justify the Christian name. This great brotherhood, nearly a million strong all over the world, means an ideal of manhood that refuses to be satisfied while any single son of the race is stunted, cramped, limited, prevented from coming to his best. It means an ideal "f society in which pure blooded, 13 THE FRIEND. October, I 1) 10. Notes From the Field FRANK S. SCUDDER Echoes from the Edinburgh World Conference.

When we understand that 1200 delegates and 2500 visitors assembled, every one of whom had devoted years of study to the problem, and many of whom bad spent years of patient, self-sacrificing devotion to the work under consideration, we can imagine what must have been the intensity of interest experienced by those who attended.

All discussions were carried on in committee of the whole, of which John R. Mott was chairman. Mr. Mott with his customary tact enforced the rule upon all alike, regardless of their position or fame —a circumstance which caused not a little amusement. The consequence was a series of pithy speeches, full of fire and wit and epigrammatic wisdom, such as may rarely be heard in any assembly. In order to avoid waste of time over parliamentary procedure all resolutions were excluded, excepting one only, which provided for the formation of a Continuation Committee, in order that the forces set in motion by the conference might be made effective for broader cooperation and further investigation. Self Criticism. Another epoch-making feature of the conference was the disposition to face without flinching every defect that could be pointed out in the wide mission enterprise. There was little self-glorification ; en the contrary, often the warmest api lause was elicited by s|>eakers who fearlessly exposed the weaknesses of the present work and methods. The church will be brought face to face with the wicked waste of duplicated effort when it hears the emphatic statement that "by reasonable cooperation among the churches the efficiency of the present working force on the foreign mission field would be doubled straightway." There was no disposition to apologize for short-sighted methods or to cover up disagreeable facts. Facts were welcomed at whatever cost to pride or personal feelings. �14 THE FRIEND.

The next ten years will in all probability constitute a turning-point In human history, and may be of more critical importance In determining the spiritual evolution of mankind than many centuries of ordinary experience. If those years are wasted, havoc may be wrought that centuries are not able to repair. On the other hand, if they are rightly used, they may be among the most glorious in Christian history. We have, therefore, devoted much time to a close scrutiny of the ways In which we may best utilize the existing forces of missionary enterprise by unifying and consolid- of the ruins of the old.

Sunday evening there was a concert which netted quite a sum for the expenses of the convention and the church building fund. Monday morning the Association proceeded to the business on the program. The Rev. I.

The usual routine business then occupied the Association until 11a. m., when the "School for Ministers" began its work. There were three papers on the Prophets of Israel and Judah, the first by Mr. John Kalirto of Kahului on "Amos," the second by Rev. R. B. Dodge of Wailuku on "Isaiah," and the third by Rev. C. G.

Although addressed specially to Central Union Church, the following word from Dr. White will be of interest to many of our readers: At Sea, September 5, 1910. Central Union News A. A. EBERSOLE Bible Study at the Mid-Week Service. During September and October the mid-week services are being devoted to a systematic study of "The Sermon on the Mount." It is proving a very pleasant and profitable variation from the regular prayer meeting. The following outline, based on Prof. Votaw's treatise on the Sermon is being followed: "THE IDEAL LIFE" To Central Union Church—Greeting: May I have a little space in the weekly calendar to speak a message of gratitude, from Mrs. White and myself, for the cordial welcome and the choice hospitality extended to us by the good people of Central Union Church ? Never, we feel confident, has a brief term of service been made more of a privilege and delight by the rare courtesy and generous appreciation of those to whom it has been extended. The whole experience has for us been uniquely tropical,—the land, the scenery, the climate, the friendships. The retrospect holds few sensations but those of satisfaction and joy. To the absent pastor, whose generous thought made this period of service possible, to the worthy associate pastor—a true ministerial great-heart, to the royal friends, old and new, who have made the days of-our Honolulu visit gleam like the wake of a ship sailing through a phosphorescent -sea, Mrs. White and I send our affectionate Aloha.

My father has written The Friend of our visit in Palestine at Christmas tide, but we have been asked to write of our journey home. In Egypt. We left Jaffa New Year's Day for Cairo, a city of two types, one which we slighted with broad streets and modern buildings, the other crowded with strange peoples, men with one eye, men and boys in fezzes, women with brass spools between the eyes and black or white cloths hiding all of the face below, light carts without sides holding seven or eight women and one man, apparently a husband and his wives, all using heads rather than hands for carrying, a sight we became used to. In Cairo l saw a woman with a chicken coop on her head holding live, noisy chickens, and in Calcutta four men carrying a large bureau, each man under a corner. There was not as much English language as we expected. As in India the street car conductors talk no English. A restaurant we entered had two menu cards, one Arabic and one French. When we ordered from the French the waiter went out the door and down street to get our order translated. When this happened twice, the viands ordered not being in stock, we tried the Arabic and discovered that Arabic is written backward, for we got fruit when we expected meat. For church services we now depended on missionaries. In Cairo we went to the United Presbyterian Mission. Its Sunday school room was divided in two �by a close board fence, on one side the boys with their red fezzes, on the other the girls. They could alike see the superintendent and hear but not see each other. There were four Christian Endeavorer societies in this church, one attended mostly by white folks, one for Egyptian young men attended principally by those who wear the fez, one for boys and one for girls. We saw many familiar trees and plants. In the garden a tree we took to be a ponciana regia (not in bloom) was labelled "Gold mohr tree of Madagascar," and a sacred banyan such as is in our Honolulu yard was called a "pipul" tree. There were fine monkey jwd avenues, and we saw sugar cane at Heliopolis. In India. From Egypt we went on a French liner to Bombay. A fellow passenger was a Hindu in the government service on his way home from England, where he had been studying for advancement. At Bombay ammunition was discovered in a false bottom in his trunk, and a recipe for making bombs hidden in his shirt and he went to jail. In Calcutta I dropped into a Baptist missionary conference and saw Rev. Wm. Cary, grandson of the pioneer missionary. In Bombay at the American Congregational Mission we attended a Christian Endeavor celebration of the 25th anniversary of the society in that church, and afterwards went to a school C. E. meeting where the members were eager for us to tell of Hawaiian C. E. societies and how Hawaiians looked, what they liked to eat, etc, They played some Indian instruments for us. A boy sat with a drum between his knees and another on a chair before him and played the low notes on one and high notes on another with his fingers. At the anniversary flower leis full of glittering spangles were put around the necks of those who had started the C. E. 25 years before. But of occasional Christian meetings and seeing a few white people India seemed a land of heathenism. The prevailing color tone was a dingy white. The Taj Mahal is not a typical building. The ordinary place of worship is a dingy mosque, a dirty Hindu temple or a Jain In one glittering with colored glass. Ahmedabad we saw wedding processions of child brides and grooms. One little boy rode a toy horse. He was too small for a real one, though old enough to be married. In an empty palace at Amber I went into the former zenana and in a little room decorated with tiny mirrors I could see hundreds of reflections of myself. Both in jewelry and in looking in the glass the Indian women surpass 17 THE FRIEND.

At Wuhu on the Yang Tse Honolulu flavor. we found some rosy-cheeked, Calcutta before India just leaving Kiang In we met Mrs. Laura Wilder Wight and cheerful, vociferous beggars, who came daughter, who were bound around the world in the opposite direction, and advised them to visit the Kalighat temple, where we had seen goats' heads chopped off and the head of the goddess dripping with blood. J* In the Hotter Tropics. We took the Ss. Kut Sang for Singapore with party of Methodist missionaries bound home. One was insane, perhaps from having the sun shine on the back of her head through the school room window. The two ladies taking her home to lowa took turns watching her night and day for fear she would jump overboard. Another had been wakened three days before leaving on her furlough by being beaten violently with a stick by a Hindu, who escaped unidentified when her screams had brought help. Missionaries still have hardships and dangers. The wooded valleys back of the town of Penang made us think of Hawaii, but the town is Chinese like Singapore, where we found, however, a long line of Malay young gentlemen in calico dresses sitting on a fence watching a ball game played by other young men in dresses. At Bangkok in the mission school we found cousins and a sister of a Kawaiahao teacher. Bangkok wears less clothes than India but is more cheerful. The Buddhist priests with cropped heads and bright yellow dresses brighten the crowds. The white elephants were less white than I expected though my expectations were low. A greater surprise was to find a statue of St. Paul in front of a Buddhist temple. The jewels of the Taj Mahal are mostly agates but in a modern Buddhist wat in Bangkok we found furniture inlaid with precious stones. In China. In Canton Rev. Jas. Henry, once of Mills Institute, was our host and guide through the busiest city of the world in my experience. The narrow streets are laid out at right angles so there is not the danger of losing one's way that there is in many an American city. One day we two walked about Canton alone and easily found our way out, by an entirely different route than that we had taken going in. From Hongkong we tried a British steamer to Shanghai, a Japanese one up about the steamer in little boats and lifted baskets on the ends of long bamboos to us for alms. We waked in Peking on Easter day to find the trees covered with snow. An immense city with immense walls, but quiet compared with Canton. Our most exciting experience was a wild jinricksha ride on arrival, our Chinamen horses racing at full speed in a street crowded with moving rickshas, woolly camels, twowheeled carts shaped like prairie schooners and men on horseback. We stopped with Rev. W. A. P. Martin and met many other survivors of the Peking siege. 1 took a walk alone one day on the north wall and was entertained with a cup of tea by a Chinese sentry I found at the N. E. corner. Personally we experienced no race or religious prejudice anywhere. Turks, Arabs, Egyptians, Hindoos, Siamese, Chinese and Japanese all were cordial to us. js And the Nearer East. From Peking we took a trip to Mukden on a railway line that travels only by day and rests at night. The first night it dropped us at a little village called Shan Hai Kwan at the great Chinese wall, which we climbed and inspected before sunset. We were the only white men in town. There were two hotels, a dirty looking Chinese one kept in foreign style, and a Japanese. We chose the Japanese, took off our shoes, and had our first experience of a genuine Japanese hotel. In Seoul Rev. R. O. Reiner, formerly of Mills Institute, met us. We passed the Japanese rickshas at the station and walked half a block to the Korean ones, who must give the Japanese rickshas first chance at arriving tourists, and drove to his house. We got glimpses here of the wonderful revival going on through the country. On the steamer from Korea to Japan I found a Japanese photographer of Seoul bound to a photo convention, who had heard of Hawaii and could talk English. "Honolulu is Eden in waters. So says all men," he said. Japan was a delight, but this account is now too long. In Kyoto we saw Rev. Sidney L. Gulick and family, and climbed Mount Hiei with a party of young folks led by him. In hunting up his house the first evening we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Joseph Neesima in a house we entered to inquire our way. �18 THE FRIEND, We have been on seventeen steamers, British, French, Russian, Austrian, German, Chinese and Japanese, but no American ones. We tried camels, donkeys and elephants; jinrickshas pulled by Chinese, Siamese, Koreans and Japanese. I tried a chair in Canton and an ekka in Benares, but my father refused. The ekka is a two-wheeled cart without springs, seats or sides but an awning to keep off the sun. Home's best and ahead in most things, though sadly behind all the world in the matter of putting up street signs with street names on them. LYLE A. DICKEY. Our Young People. (Continued/tornpage ij) prepared and gave in concise form the messages of these great prophets of national righteousness. Adjournment was made soon after noon, to accept the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke to a luau at their home in honor of the first anniversary of the birth of their son. G. P. Cooke, Jr. Many of the Maui delegates had never seen that part of Molokai before, and it was a treat for them to ride up in the ranch wagons and "view the landscape o'er." The luau was a great success and everyone seemed pleased and happy over the afternoon's festivities. In the evening the Sunday School Association began its sessions and was able by expeditious work to finish all of the reports that evening Tuesday morning the work of the Association was continued, and the first item on the program was the School for Ministers. The discussion of some of the representative prophets was resumed. Several of those to whom work had been assigned were unable to be present, but the Rev. (i. M. Kauaulalcna of Ulupalakua gave a most interesting treatment of the prophet Jeremiah, his life and work. It was felt by the delegates that the work in the prophets was very instructive and helpful, and it is hoped that similar work may be carried on at subsequent meetings of the Association. The remainder of the morning was spent in conducting the routine business of the Association. The work was put through in a splendid spirit and with expedition. The labors of the C. E. and the S. S. Association were completed in the Hand Craft Wares |YE ARTS & afternoon, and thus a record was made for speediness in the meetings, a marked contrast to the meetings of a few years ago, which usually lasted more than a week. It is likely that this precedent of three days' meetings will be followed on Maui, and thus she will become like ()ahu, Kauai and I lawaii in the matter of brevity in her Association gatherings. ()n Tuesday evening there was aC. E. consecration meeting for the new island officers. This meeting was in charge of Mr. P. N. Kahokuoluna of Paia, the president of the island C. E. Rev. (). H. Gulick gave an interesting address in the Hawaiian language, packed full of good advice to Christian Endeavorcrs. After this there was a farewell meeting. It was the plan of the chairman to hear from representatives of the various districts of the county. Mr. D. W. Napihaa of Keanae, was called on to respond for East Maui. In the midst of his speech word came into the church that the "Mikahala" was sighted. Speechmaking after that had little attractions for the multitude, and there were no more words of appreciation in the form of a speech from the visitors, although they had opportunities later on to show their gratitude for the hospitality of the Kaunakakai people. These hosts formed two lines in the main aisle of the church and the Maui delegates marched through the lines shaking hands with the Molokai people and expressing their alohas to them. In a short time the visitors made their way to the wharf via the mule tramway, and climbed aboard the "Mikahala." An inter-island trip, be it ever so short, is always interesting as a means of studying human character, and the trip over to Maui that night was no exception. Every bunk was occupied and sleeping room on deck was at a premium. But sleep was out of the question for many. The sound of the waves, the sweet I lawaiian songs sung by some of the delegates, the lovely moonlight, all tended to keep one awake. Pukoo was reached while it was still dark, and the rising sun found us almost across the channel at I-ahaina, the beautiful ex-capital of the group. Here, at "Main Ulu o 1.e1c," the various ministers and delegates separated to return to their several homes, having had the delightful and inspiring experience of the Kaunakakai meeting to nerve them on to greater service in the Kingdom of Heaven.

It was an honor to be chosen for the point of contact. The boldest and brawniest usually got the job. and bore the brunt and most of the bruises too. When the Liquor interests and the prohibitionist clashed in the plebiscite rush, we had our best and brainiest at the apex all right, hut it verily looked as though the enemy did most of the planning of our formation with a view to mangling our front. The Bulletin, the "paid agitator" of the liquor people, may have been said to have done a good stroke of strategy for its client when it kept ringing the changes on "Wooleyism" as the mainspring of the movement against the saloons. To make the people believe that the fight against liquor was purely the result of a "butt in" on the part of an outsider, seemed to be a puerile and ini|X)ssiblc task. We are not sure altogether whether a paper of the low morale of the Bulletin really succeeded in accomplishing this or whether it but voiced the sentiiiKiit of many who wanted to believe it. It was clear enough that many whose financial interests suggested that they find a "scapegoat" gladly hailed a chance to put the odium on the back of the malahini for the violation of what they were pleated to call their "consciences." So John (i. Woolley, after thirty years of big battle over large areas with at least plenty of fresh air, appeared to be presenting the spectacle of standing at hay in the nation's backyard ("cow-pen" the Advertiser would call it) both ears and nostrils affronted by the little local emanations. To be sure, it will not hurt him, but we are sorry that it had to be. Hail to the chief. T. R. most spectacular as No. 9 There are two classes of persons who arc not permitted to read this article. First, those who are such ardent admirers of New York that they can see no fault in it: for herein appear certain aspersions upon the city, although it is to me the most homelike and beloved of all the cities of the world. Second, no one may read this who has not been away from New York for at least seven years, for lit will only say, "I knew all that before." No! this is written only for those who can claim some remote relationship to Rip Van Winkle, and can appreciate the experience of waking up in a familiar place and finding its familiarity gone.

R. which he has only read and heard. �4 the city had the appearance of having been rent in twain by an earthquake, and the rift deserted in despair, rather than of being near the realization of a grand subway system. Now we ride through that same fissure over miles of elegantly appointed road, with stations embellished with vari-colored marble glazed tile and mosaics, through which there is a constant procession of express and local trains. Yet with all the new facilities for travel, the traffic already outstrips the capacity of the road. A Firmament Above and Below the Waters. Three new spider-web wonders have appeared in the sky during these seven years—the new bridges across the Fast river, while under the rivers east and west, we speed through the tunnels of which we heard plenty but saw nothing when last I was in New York, and under the feet of the people on the firmament above, and over the heads of those in the firmament below, the ocean tides ebb and How, carrying their large freight of human lives and the commerce of the nations. Surely man has not heard in vain the command. "He fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it!" But the marvel of it all to me is that the most of these wonders I have mentioned have been brought forth in the six creative days that I have been out of the country, and on this the seventh day I can open my eyes and see them completed, and hear the universal verdict, "Behold it is very good." What untold skill and energy and millions of money have been expended upon these works, and yet seven years ago they were not. now they arc. and so far as we are concerned, last night when we closed our eyes on N. Y. scenes, these things were not; this morning they are. They have sprung up in a night: yesterday we stumbled along this earthquake riven street; today we spin through its white tiled underground palaces. We duck our heads down in New York City and bob them up serenely in Jersey City or Brooklyn. I really think this out-Alices Alice in Won derland; a little round copper or nickel is the key to the trap-doors that open into these new sub. subter. super, inter, extra, circum worlds. And are there no new worlds for New York to open up? Oh yes, unnumbered dreams of them. She has a new proposition to match every remaining preposition in the Latin dictionary.

THE September. 1910 FRIEND The Heavens Above. If. following the genius of Oriental languages. I were to coin a descriptive title for New York. I think I might call it "The Heaven-Aspiring City." How many stories high are the sky-scrapers ? I cannot tell you. The steps heavenward are too many. We count the stories bytens now. not by units. You get into an express elevator for the twentieth, thirtieth or fortieth story and change cars to a local if you must figure by units. It reminds one of the story of the man who after going indefinitely up, knocked at the door and said, "Is God in?" Or of the story of a little four-year-old who, seeing one of these sky-scrapers, mid, "Father, isn't there a story in the Bible about people who built a house up to Heaven, and God didn't like it?" "Yes," "Well, there's one pretty near up. I guess He'll knock that down." ()ver and above the skyscrapers is another evidence of the heaven-aspiring character of Xew York, as the airships and balloons frequently rise, and from the high roofs of houses spectators are "rubbernecking with the ever upward gaze. Surely this is no groveling age. Nlan no longer meekly claims kinship with the worms of the dust, but return to the (ireek idea of man—the anthropos —the being with his "face up." The Earth Beneath. But his feet are in the dirt, and dirt is plenty enough in New York. New York grows so fast it can't keep clean. Really it is the dirtiest civilized city I know. It is always tearing down and tearing up. Like a growing boy, always tearing his clothes and without time to wash his hands and face. Even if he should be persuaded to dress up clean, his insatiate activity would prevent him from keeping so. New York never has the finished touch one notices in other cities. Compare it. for instance, with Paris, or even with foggy London. San Francisco, which has gone down and up again within the last four years, is not such a mussy city as New York. ( Positively no NewYorker is permitted to read the above But we must make allowparagraph.) ance for the growing boy. His last year's clothes are never big enough for this year. He seems to be gifted with perpetual youth, and after all. would we not rather see him a trifle unkempt in his appearance than beginning to show a spirit of decrepitude? Still we do not say we would not be better pleased if he would wash and be clean. Then we could look upon this wonderful new creation with real pride and say. "Behold it is very good. We might even share the opinion of a certain commercial traveler whom I ocean voyage, and who in answer to my inquiry said, "I come from the city." "What city?" said I: to which he made the calm retort. "The City; F. S. S. there is but one city." met on an Samuel Newell Emerson. Oct. 10, 1832—Aug 12, 1910. On the 12th of August in the Queen's Hospital of this city there passed on to the world of spirits one of the sons of the early missionaries, who for a lifetime of nearly 78 years had been well known and highly respected by the circle of the old residents u|x>n the island of ()ahu. He was the oldest of the eight children of Rev. John S. Fincrson. and his beloved wife, Mrs. M. S. N. Emerson, who together from their landing as missionaries u|>on these islands in April. 1831. until 186", a period of thirty-six years, held and led the flourishing mission station of Waialua, in the northwest part of this island, with a break of four years spent as teachers in the high school of Lahainaluna. After the death of his father, Mr. Saml. Emerson took filial care of his mother in their Waialua home until she passed on. He was never married, and for late years has lived entirely alone. llc was a wide reader and possessed information in many lines, a most thoroughly conscientious Christian man. He was one of the charter members of the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association, and one ever worthy of the esteem of his fellow citizens. A marked feature of his career was that of cheerfulness under adverse circumstances, and faithful endeavor for the l>enefit of others. In spite of the almost total deafness that clouded the latter twenty years of life he was a regular attender and worshipper in the house of God. He may in brief be characterized as a humble, cheerful and conscientious O. H. G. Christian man. "Cannot and WILL NOT Be Observed." The following from the May 1 number of the "Brewers' Journal," New York, gives the real attitude of the liquor traffic. It says: "No matter what laws may be made to cripple the bevereges industries of our present time, They cannot and will not be observed by those managing these industries." �THE September. 1910 FRIEND. 5 challenging and skirmishing, it has be- Range Lights gun.

The Prohibition Party, with set, sad To date nine states have made the countenance, did a great work greatly. liquor business an outlaw. Ten states It broke a new way for liberty of conarc now in the midst of campaigns for out state-wide prohibition. News of the Texas, that eleventh has just come. would cut up into forty-five Hawaiis, has had a plebiscite, and an emphatic majority of her four millions has directed the legislature to present a prohibition lull for the whole great state. Good news comes, too, of better enforcement in the difficult areas, and the howls of the liquor dealers that "prohibition does not prohibit" furnish eloquent corroboration. The only time when they can be believed i? when they lie. At last the time has come when i speech against the liquor business can begin with a strong, high note of cheer. Not that the deep, dark pathos and outrage of the thing have greatly diminished, but because the apathy, the ignorance, the subserviency of decent citizens is disappearing like the valley mists at sunrise; and the sparse and sorrowful militia of former days has grown to an enthusiastic army of invasion, keen and fit for war to.the finish. To those of us who bore the heat and burden of the movement in the lean, gray years, this day has seemed a long time on the way. When Doctor Billy Clark convened the first temperance society of modern times, in Saratoga County, New York, Ik did not dream of anything so extravagant as a campaign to stop the trade, that lawfully, respectably, and as a matter of course held out the cup that curses while it cheers, to all ranks and conditions of society. Even the exjiectation of a little human salvage in his own neighborhood seemed fantastical. That was In 1808. It was a forlorn hope of all but ruined men that formed the Washingtonian Society in the forties. And in the fifties when that movement burst into a flame of righteously indignant legislation, that would have swept the liquor business from the map of trade, the earthquake of civil war came and engulfed it in a tidal wave of Mood and beer and bossism. That was in the sixties. of the partizan wilderness, science, the polls. If there is any human activity in civil or moral engineering entitled to be called fundamental ami eternal, it is that of casting up highways for the people. The Roman Empire has been dead for centuries ; but Roman roads still stretch their brawny arms in full, beneficent efficiency, untouched by age; for kings may come and dynasties may go, but roads rule on forever. A road is an atonement laid in economics. The spirit of God is the togetherness of men, in the name of progress "two or three," or a billion. It was no accident that Jesus never said, "I am the man," but "I am the way." The Prohibition Party was the bridge builder of the great reform, a rough mechanic, but its work abides and will abide. It fixed the hated word "prohibition" in ]K)litical language and put its haughty rival "personal liberty" in permanent contempt. It drove the tough, straight-grained and pointed tree trunks of knowledge, conscience and conviction into the shifting sands of party politics, down to the hardpan. Its persuasions fell like blows, vexing and spattering the Christian voters camping supinely by the party streams, until for very shame, they stood erect at attention, caught the key and rythm of the pile-driver, enlisted in the ragged regiments, crossed the rubicon of Christian independence, and threw their party badges in the stream. So that tonight we stand within the gates of victo — tory. But that means only that we have got a chance to fight. This is the net achievement of a hundred years, that we have made the enemy come out from his distilleries and breweries, his warehouses and saloons, his clubs and speakeasies, his drug stores and canteens, his gambling houses and brothels, into the ojien and into battle form. And this is why we cheer as we go forward ; not because the fight is finished, but because after a baffling century of But our present cheers must not conceal the voices of the future. We shall have hot work, from now on. Villainy takes naturally to strategy; cruelty dies hard. This coward driven farther and farther into a corner will fight like hell. That is to say, will strangle with the brimstone fumes of slander, will trap and torture with the flying cavalry of lies. Yet we do well to cheer, in celebration of the simplified conditions of the conflict. After all the carking yearn of tricks and bribes and crimes, the liquor trade, hemmed in by mountains of public sentiment and rivers of popular knowledge, takes up the gage of battle and with grim and dreadful impudence, proposes a "campaign of education." This itself is victory, and the beginning of the end. And if democracy is not a failure our complete triumph is in sight. All the signs are auspicious. In the first place, a fine new spirit runs through our own ranks. The critical attitude among ourselves is dying out. It was excusable and inevitable in the boom days of mere agitation, and did little harm. Looking back, we see abundant justification, and even abundant, credit, for us all Every move, however rashly made, was well worth while. Every rivalry promoted zeal and sharpened the focus of the public mind. But looking forward, we see that divisions would be hurtful. Cooperation is the keynote for the future. The right hand of fellowship among ourselves is the best weajion we can raise against the . enemy. Shaking hands is good training for the grip and heart muscles, and these are what we shall use mostly. We have to get our ballots, the white fingers of our citizenship, to the throat of the liquor traffic and squeeze its accursed gullet till it quits forever. There must, of course, be a few cavilers where so many are engaged. They are hard to understand. They are impossible to reconcile. They remind one of the baby that was crying bitterly. When a tender-hearted passer asked the boy in charge of the infant "Why doeH the baby cry?" the boy answered resignedly, "Oh, I don't know what makes him cry! He is all the time crying; I never saw anybody look on the dark side like he does." But we who compose the great working body of the movement ought to adopt as a great working commandment, "Thou shalt not cheapen a comrade." In the second place, we have learned �6 slowly and reluctantly, but surely, that economics is the basis of public morality: clothes, shelter, food, efficiency, diversion, justice, man to man. Moral muscles and religious nerves that do not play on these produce mere political hysteria. The present turn of the tide of battle came when the Blucher of "big business" brought its burly reinforcements into action. And now we are as willing as we are able to meet the economic argument where it is, without any show of condescension or superior virtue. The economic argument is on the ground, on the counter, on the bench, on the desk, in service, not in services. The organized liquor trade is base and crooked to the core; but many a citizen who knows that, is yet honestly persuaded that the license system, poor as it is, is all the prohibition that is practicable at present. Such men are not to be belittled, or preached at. They must be met and taken into camp with facts. In the third place, the height and the length of our endeavor, no longer blind us to the breadth of it. The variations of local sentiment and local symptoms have come to be recognized as clearly, and taken as seriously as the great central purpose. County man-ship is seen to be as worthy in its way, as statesmanship. The doctrine of the parable looms large in reason and experience, as well as authority, that the faithful over a few things is in the true line of honorable service and promotion. It is a pity that the charge may yet be heard, sometimes, that local option is immoral. For one thing, the statement is rank nonsense—unless democracy is immoral ; and for another thing, some of the best work in the world is of the masonry of honest mistakes corrected: and the sure correction of the weaknesses of local option is state and national prohibition. The John Brown days are past and gone. This is the Lincoln period of our reform, and Lincoln's charity should pervade it. In the fourth place, the ugly old phrase "whiskey party" has gone to the scrap-heap. There is a whiskey party, but it has no relation to the political parties save that of a highwayman to the stage-coach to hold them up and rob them. The political parties are very disappointing, mixed and human, but they are fundamentally and practically patriotic. Human weakness and selfishness abound in them, but strength and loyalty much more abound. Party lines are fading out, in the light of the new national morality,and we have outgrown the folly of wounding men to win them. THE FRIEND. In the fifth place, the lampooning of Congress is going out of fashion. It is high time. To keep it up would be to advertise our ignorance, or malice, as well as to obstruct our progress. Congressional action is absolutely necessary in aid and recognition of the police power of the states. The Department of Internal Revenue and the regulations of inter-state commerce are in effect the two most powerful friends of the organized treason to everything from the cradle to the flag. To bring them to our side, or shame them into standing up for fair play, is the most important work we have on hand. Meanwhile Congress has become friendly toward our work. Any reasonable statute in aid of state or local prohibition will pass the Senate and the House, by a broadly and splendidly nonpartisan majority, once it can be got on the floor for passage. The peril to such bills is in committee, where minorities may be powerful for delay. I speak from personal and recent knowledge when I say that we can look to Washington with confidence, if only we are sane enough and just enough to be patient with the slow turning of the great federal millstones that have to work on such enormous crops of public sentiment and grind the grist so fine. Finally, we realize better, a fact selfevident, but often overlooked by reformers, that we can go no faster than the people. They are interested in many things, and different groups place the accent of precedence differently. The liquor problem has no warrant to demand the right of way and a clear track. It must simply take its place with the rest and put its trained and mighty shoulder to the wheel of general progress. One still hears, now and then, that we must have "prohibition with a party behind it." That, I think, is precisely what we must not have. Parties, while not unrighteous, are the weakest engines of righteousness. They run by weathercock power. Their cardinal doctrine is "Thou shalt follow the multitude to do whatever will round it up in the party corral." Their message to their young men is: "My son, if enough sinners entice thee, consent and be quick about it." Minority parties are exceptions. But when they come to majority the Delilah of dalliance with power crops their hair. What we need and all we need is prohibition with the people behind it. J« The Outlook. This, I think, is the rationale of the We have won our present situation. fight to get our question to the people. The liquor trade has lost its fight to September, 1910 keep it away from the people. The party boss, our enemy and the liquor dealers' friend, has been Jonahed overboard by the crew of the ship of state, and no political whale appears to have the stomach for a prophet of that flavor. The party constituencies are running together u]>on issues of vital morality. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, has begun to arrive. In the present forward movement we have every advantage of equipment. The breath of victory is in our nostrils The truth of history is with us. The voice of science is heard in our camp. The sanctions of religion gird us to battle. The The press corroborates our message. daily walk and conversation of the business world is toward us. The license system is itself a plea of "guilty," both on the part of the trade and the people. In the past, until the advent of the Anti-Saloon League, we scorned the critical study of "methods." Our work was not education but appeal. "Stand up and be counted for the good you know and have published" was what we said and all we said. Drunkards and drunkenness were the self-evident proofs we offered, and our whole demand was made upon the Christian voter. We won that fight, and that brought us to the present point of departure. But let no man fool himself with the thought that we have whipped the liquor traffic. I know the splendid gains that we have made, and to my own heart I boast about them. But I know also, all too well, that relatively we have made little difference in the volume of the liquor business. I recall how General Braddock. able, brave, proud of his country, loyal to his King, marched with his little army into the Western wilderness against the French and Indians at Fort Duquesne. The Indians met him first. From every British point of view they were contemptible. He could have wiped them out before breakfast if he could have laid hands on them. They were there but he scarcely caught sight of them. In one respect they were anything but contemptible—tenacity and singleness of purpose. They cared nothing about honor. They cared nothing about military form. But they knew the value of their hunting ground, and they were there to save it. They were not too proud to crawl like snakes in the grass. They dodged from tree to tree. They ran like hares. But they shot straight. They staid by the stuff. And General Braddock got into history as the author of "Braddock's defeat." Our enemy is like that. But we are not like that. The advance guard of the liquor trade are moral, industrial and . �THE September. 1910 Who teaches that it is a hardship that political savages. They are out for pelts and scalps and subsistence. They sneak, the saloon must pay a thousand dollars a they crawl, they burrow, they murder year for the mere privilege of showing while they run. They torture the cap- its painted harlot face upon the street? tured, they rob the dead. Who teaches that it is a short-sighted But ours, if not better soldiers than our kinsmen at Fort Duquesne, knew their enemy better. Baffled and checked by treachery, they kept right on. Shot in the back they fell forward, and we steplied over them, and sounded the advance, until by sheer devotion we have torn the blanket Indians of the liquor trade from their cover. And now, at last, they form in the open under the walls of their twin citadels, the brewery and the distillery, where the sleek and epauletted field marshals of the business are in council and command. And now these strategists of hops and malt and mash have set up a bureau of fake statistics and ordered "a campaign of education." It is a paltry battle for real fighting men, but we must accept it. J* So, Then, Forward ! So. then, at last and finally, we face the issue and the enemy, and the ancient, eternal general orders for righteousness run along the line, "Say unto the children of Israel that they go forward." Prohibitionists in Bands of Hope and Loyal I.egions, with gentle insistence getting little boys and girls to sign the pledge of total abstinence. Go forward! Prohibitionists in Rescue Missions, throwing the life-line to half-dead derelicts of the saloon, Go forward! Prohibitionists in the Women's Christian Temperance Union "doing everything" to save and build up womanhood. (io forward! Prohibitionists in leagues and federations, marshaling the troops of trade and health and order against exposed positions of the enemy, Go forward! Prohibitionists in bureaus at Washington carrying ammunition for the heavy ordinance on Capitol Hill, Go forward ! Prohibitionists in press and pulpit keeping watch over the springs of civic righteousness and justice, Go forward! Prohibitionists at large, enlisted but voteless home-makers, bearing the arc of the covenant of democracy, Go forward ! Now, what are the branches taught in the liquor dealers' campaign of education ? I shall take that up presently. What is not taught is most instructive. Who teaches that a saloon, a brewery, a distillery, a jobbery, a blendery, is a good thing for any community? Who teaches that the liquor seller grades up to the baker or the carpenter, in the scheme of business life? 7 FRIEND business policy to forbid the sale of liquor to men below the age of twentyone? Who teaches that the best patron of the saloon acquires the best judgment for such buying? Who teaches that in advertising the attractions of a community saloons should be set down with churches, schools and factories ? Not a man, drunk or sober, in all the motley multitude of teachers and pupils in the "campaign of education" was ever heard to claim one atom of virtue or of righteousness for the business. Call up the grocery and challenge it, "What right have you to live?" "The right of being honest and useful and helpful. By so much as my merchandise goes out into the homes of the community, it is made a better place to live in." tt Tar and Feathers. Call up the saloon: "Why should we not tar and feather you and ride you out of town upon a rail? Why should we not hang you by the neck at the edge of the city as a warning to others of your kind?" And it answers solely and finally: "My license." Year after year it shuffles to the city hall and buys a permit to live, like a dog. by virtue of the tag of bloody gold upon its neck. Affirmatively, the liquor "campaign of education" includes about a dozen propositions. They are mere effigy epigrams printed to look like arguments: "Prohibition is sumptuary legislation; it violates personal liberty ; it hurts business :it increases taxes; it attacks vested rights; it causes "blind pigs;" it makes men sneaks; it discriminates against the poor; it creates a demand for drugs; it is unscriptural; it does not prohibit; you cannot make men sober by law." Where is the proof in support of these propositions? There is none. They are not set up to be proved. They are not meant to be studied, but to be swallowed bolus Ixilus. They are mere iteration directed at weakness, prejudice antl ignorance. Who are the iterators? Simply the advertising agents of the trade, garnished by a handful of unfortunate preachers who have lost their bearings. The liquor trade's own classification of itself is with the brothel, as a necessary evil—a safety valve for lust. But let us surprise these new educators by taking them seriously—as seriously as ]>ossible. And first: What is a sumptuary law ? It is. or was. a law directed at the buyer, attempting to regulate his conduct, in matters of mere indifference, without any good end in view. For instance, in the reign of Edward IV. a statute was enacted prohibiting anybody "under the degree of a lord," from buying shoes having pointed toes over two inches long. The idea was to discourage habits of luxury among the common people, but it was manifestly unjust and foolish. A prohibitory liquor law is directed at the business of selling and of maintaining a rendezvous for temptation, dissipation and disorder. It says to no "Thou shalt not buy or drink"—though it may, and may well, come to that. It is in the nature of a quarantine regulation, which never says: "Thou shalt not catch yellow fever," but: "Thou shalt not spread yellow fever." Incidentally a law that restrains a man from doing mischief to his neighbor restrains the neighbor's liberty to spend his own money and experiment with his own body, but that does not make it a sumptuary law. How does prohibition violate personal liberty? Personal liberty, in this country, according to Judge Cooley, our greatest writer on constitutional questions, is simply that condition in which rights are established and protected by means of such limitations and restraints upon the action of individual members of the political society as are needed to prevent what would be injurious to other individuals, or prejudicial to the general welfare. Absolute liberty exists only where the person possessing it is powerless to injure others with it. A shipwrecked man, alone on a raft in mid-ocean, has jt, but would give the whole world to swap it for the limitations of civil liberty—the only kind of liberty worth having. In short, absolute liberty is only the obverse side of bankruptcy of opportunity. The liquor business is injurious to everybody, including the owner. Nobody denies that. Prohibition is not tyranny, but protection, for all men, women and children. Does prohibition hurt business? Yes, all the business that tends to ruin—brothels, gambling dens, the white slave trade, vagrancy, begging, pawning, divorcing. But it helps every business that makes for "more abundant life." There is plenty of answers to the complaint that prohibition increases taxes. In the first place, there is no limit to the right of the people to increase taxes for the general welfare. In the second place, the ]>eople never object to increased taxes, if the money be honestly spent for the public betterment. If prohibition sometimes increases taxation, the people's ability to pay is much more increas- man: �8 cd. The tax rate does sometimes rise, when prohibition is adopted, but the rise is only temporary. The assessed valuation of property increases, industry revives, earning |x>wer improves ; court, police, poor-house expenses decrease, and, after a year or two, the rate swings back to normal or below. If not, it is because increased school attendance compels new schoolhouses and teachers, or the quickening of civic pride demands better roads and public buildings, or new public works for light, water, transportation, sewers and the like. As to the destruction of property. A liquor license is not property. It is a mere badge of incorrigible meanness and a tcmiiorary waiver of the inalienable right to protect life, liberty and happiness. Even if it were property, prohibition does not destroy it, but only declines to resurrect it when it dies; or if prohibition does destroy it, it is only the tearing down of a shack to save a city. Does prohibition discriminate against the poor? It never does. It knows no rich or poor or gixxl or bad. It is the license system that squeezes out the poor. The whole merit claimed for high license is that it favors the applicants that have the most money. Does prohibition make men sneaks? It simply brings a moment of decision to be a man, or a sneak. It segregates the sneak into his own class, apart from men who will not sneak. It did not put the sneak in office at Newark, Ohio. It only coagulated the bad blotxl ill the body |xilitic so that the surgeon-governor could cut out the embolism and save the city's life. Does prohibition cause the use of other drugs? The disease ami depravity induced by alcohol doubtless seek solace and excitement in other equivalents of poison; but that argument would cut out prohibition of opium and cocaine, which are indeed less dangerous on the whole than alcohol. Does prohibition breed "blind pigs?" High license is the snouted, swill fed mother of that breed of swine. Prohibition puts out the eyes of the pigs that can see, and makes the whole litter game for the sheriff. "Blind pigs" are real "razor-backs," and hard to catch. But they do little harm as compared to the open-eyed kind. The blind pig suckles its own, but makes no strong bid for the better born. Its dirty dugs are uninviting to the more cleanly animalism. Prohibition kills the open saloons and chases the blind pigs. License protects the open saloons and feeds the blind pigs. But we shall still have the blind pigs, under prohibition! Yes. any good housekeeper may have a cockroach in the kitchen. But no good housekeper would THE FRIEND, September, 1910 agree to keep one cockroach in her to the contempt and confusion of law ? Wherein is the sender of obscene literakitchen. Is prohibition unscriptural? Who says ture through the mails a meaner degenerit is?

Which should know best? alcoholic liquor to illicit dealers in proThe whole area of scriptural endeavor, hibition areas? What kind of traitor is from Sinai to Salvation Army, stands for more dangerous to liberty than the liquor prohibition. Paul's advice to Timothy, to use a little wine as a medicine, is irrelevant. That Jesus made wine—if he did— at Cana, for guests who after hours of festivity and having "well drunk," were still so clear-headed and clean-mouthed that they detected and enjoyed the new, fine flavor of a better article, docs not bear. We arc not dealing with ancient oriental hospitality, or wine miraculously made, but with twentieth century breweries and distilleries that organize appetite into trusts to exploit the weak and ignorant and vicious to the tune of billons annually. The scripture that is in point is "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink." When a man tells you that "you can't make men moral by law," you may knowthat you arc being instructed fay a parrot, a fakir or a fool. He might as well say you can't produce a bent tree by inclining the twig. That is about all you can tlo fay law. Laws are almost never enforced literally. Comparatively few receive punishment for broken law. Not many give obedience to law through fear. A remedial statute cuts comparatively little figure in the first fifty years of its existence. It is the silent, unfelt pressure of it on incoming generations that makes the people moral by so much as it is moral. A Fake with a Label. The assertion that "prohibition does not prohibit" is a curiosity—a fake labeled "fake." It might, if one were not afraid of being inelegant, be called a ltuuiniferous lie. It analyzes a shaft of darkness, as the prism dissolves a ray of light into the solar spectrum. Who is it says: "Prohibition does not prohibit ?" The liquor dealer. Who profits when it fails ? The liquor dealer. Who is in command of the powers of administration when it fails? The liquor dealer. Why does it fail? Because the average liquor dealer is confessedly and incorrigibly a criminal, a combination of Fagan and Bill Sikes, in treason against the popular will and the popular right. Dtx's somebody resent that generalization on the ground that many liquor dealers are men of gtxid repute? I am I am speaking not speaking of repute. broadly of character, and I weigh my words, Tell me wherein is a fence for stolen goods worse than an offset of big business that knowingly and wilfully supplies liquor to brothels and speakeasies. dealer who denies and prevents the right of the people even to vote on the question of prohibition? For that treason if for no other reason the liquor traffic ought to be killed. These are the ugly high lights brought out in this rough- brief analysis of the failures of prohibition. We have in this country an organized band of outlaws, the most compact, determined anil efficient body in American politics, the crudest master and the most generous rewardcr of weaklings and criminals in office. It is undeniably difficult to control them. But unless this is to be a government of liquor dealers, by liquor dealers and for liquor dealers, this masterful cabal of traitors, now seen so clearly and so unanimously despised, is due for destruction. And that is not prophecy, but living, growing fact. The law abiding are already coming to their own. Decency and sobriety under law are gaining ground and the full-pocketed, red-handed, blackhearted conspiracy is giving back, with snarling* and curses, to its fall. Prohibition already works well in country palees. next best in villages and little towns, worst in the cities, but better and better everywhere. In Maine notwithstanding its millions of summer visitors from the cities, and the swarm of unruly men incident to the present era of internal development, the law makes headway. The people, the hardest-headed in the union, loyally maintain the law; the Congressional delegation, the ablest in Congress, affirm the value of the policy, and the governor certifies to its increasing success in practice. In Kansas, the plague spots of nullification are clearing up. Kansas City. Topeka, Wichita and Leavenworth obey the law, the jails are nearly empty, and the rxxir farms are rechristened "prosperity stations" and devoted to agricultural instruction and experiment. North Dakota shows a similar record. In every prohibition state conditions of enforcement go visibly from good to better. I lalf the territory and half the population of the nation, arc under prohibitory law by the vote of the citizens. Still better conditions are near at hand in Congressional relief, against the states being cheated and defeated in a measure. by bad neighbors on their borders and the unfair status of the inter-state commerce law. �THE FRIEND. September, 1910 Meanwhile the moral level rises and the civic fiber toughens, in town, city, county, state and nation. The day of the "good man" in office has arrived. The sun of partyism is going down. And prohibition of the liquor traffic today prohibits better than the decalogue. This, briefly, but fully enough, is a Study of the liquor campaign of obscuration. It seems necessary to treat it thus respectfully for the benefit of the great number of vaguely favorable voters, for whom the old-fashioned strong, bulk, arguments assume too much of knowledge and of interest. It remains to present our case, briefly and summarily, in rebuttal. J* The Case in Rebuttal. It has been shown conclusively that the use of alcoholic liquor tends to excess ; and on that wonl "excess" the whole stress of former argument has been laid until now. The strong, welldisposed and well-to-do have confessed and avoided the issue by answering: "But alcohol is a food, a medicine, and a legitimate article of trade, to be sold under careful regulations and used in reason. Nursing mothers require it, the anaemic, the dyspeptic, the tuberculous, the over-worked. We must forbid sales to minors and drunkards. We must prescribe hours for the business. We must police it rigidly. We must provide, at public expense, for treatment or imprisonment for inebriates. We must encourage the Salvation Army and private benevolences in the interest of the weak and the depraved." This answer, if it were sound, was so -.hallow that it seems both heartless and stupid. It made no accounts of the parents, wives and children of the pations and victims of the trade. Nor of the economic losses and injustices entailed upon the citizens who serve the people in the useful trades and professions, and upon the general public. But it was not sound. Alcohol has practically no food value. It is a dangerous medicine and a more demoralizing article of trade than opium, cocaine and lottery tickets. The ohl argument that centered on "excess" holds good today of course, and strengthens with the years. But the new century brings forth new challenges ami better reasons. And now the accent of the argument moves up from "excess" t: moderation, from weak men to strong nun. from minors and drunkards to the mature and the sober. This is part of the same change that has taken place in all the lines of moral and intellectual progress. The historicthat we older people studied were the genealogies of kings; those that children study now are plain stories of the cus- of the common people. Almost the youngest of us can remember how the patriotic speeches used to ring the changes on the evils of monarchy, the insolence of kings, our escape from old-world oppression, lilxrty of conscience and the great, raw rights of toms man. 9 beverage without suffering actual and measurable reduction of his higbest efficiency, and a lowering of his power of resistance to disease, we can command his attention and his aid. This man, pent up in the midst of terrific competition, demanding the liest, and keen to give the best, is sure and ready to listen when we tell him that alcohol is not only a habit-forming beverage, but also and more certainly, a disease-bearing drug, the prolific cause of Blight's disease, tuberculosis, insanity and paresis—that the whole liquor business stands for waste, inefficiency, failure, sickness —that it stands for race suicide, milkless breasts in motherhood, and rickets and epilepsy in children, even from the womb. We claim this man for prohibition because we can prove that the liquor business is the public school of the drink habit. We claim this man for prohibition because we can prove that the liquor business is like an iceberg, showing above the surface only a tithe of its whole bulk of peril. We demand that this man read into the license "opium" instead of liquor and then take his bearings. We claim this man for prohibition precisely for the reason that the Board of Health conscripts him into the extermination of rats that carry bubonic plague. We claim this man for prohibition on the same ground that the state slaughters tuberculous cows, and the municipality taxes him to drain the marshes where the mosquitoes breed, in malaria and yellow fever. We claim this man for prohibition for the same reason that we compel him to clean up his stable and cart away the dung hill where the housefly breeds and sticks in cholera for distribution when its wings have grown. We claim this man for prohibition, not because we hate the liquor dealer. Liquor dealers are vermin. We don't hate vermin. We don't kill many by law. We break up their breeding places. We claim this man for prohibition by every sanction of good citizenship. The Church has put "the drink" out of the communion. We must put it out of busi- But today we laugh at that kind of Popular statesmanship consists no longer ill twisting the British lion's tail, but the American elephant and donkey have fallen upon evil times for tail culture. Normal, present, detailed matters of internal right and duty are at the bar of public opinion. The moral ami mental revolution that came in with the new century has for its nucleus the new, great word "conservation." It concerns not only the care of forests, mines and water power, but also, and more, the preservation of health, opportunity, efficiency and man-power. ()r, put negatively, for the sake of greater clearness, since a great part of the business of democracy today consists in throwing up defenses against pests and raitlers and robbers, the public mind is focusscd now. on problems of preventing waste, privilege, poverty, sickness and preventible suffering. Religion that used to thunder about heaven and hell and damnation, today speaks quietly of a new earth here and now, with salvation running in the streets. Medicine that used to be anchored at the bedside of disease is now the minister of health, and works in the open, treating the streams and marshes where the purveyors of sickness lay their ■pawn. Law that used to revel in breaches of contract, damages for torts, and punishments for crimes, concerns itself today with counsel for avoidance of actions and trespasses, and the devising of wholesale measures of reform. The great charities that used to lay their emphasis on misery, now put their millions into playgrounds, parks, schools of research, with a keynote of happiness. Rescue work that used to sit and scan the sea of life for wrecks, now carries cheer and instruction to the homes where the small craft of citizenship are outfitting for the deep.

A few days ago a member came in and said his nephew was coming in on the boat that day, and would want a job. Helping the stranger connect is right in our line, so Mr. Member was told to bring his nephew around. He did so. Within an hour from the time his nephew landed we had placed him in a position paying a good wage, to the delight of the member, his nephew, the man that got the employee he needed, and ourselves. J* Another. When this man came to town a few weeks ago he came right to the Y. M. C. A. with the comment that he thought he could find the sort of friends and help he wanted.

He arrived in Honolulu with alxnit seven dollars in his pocket, and a friend in the membership of the Y. M. C. A.. which was letter. He was a fine big fellow, but uneducated, and it looked as if it would be hard to land him in a good place. His friend brought him to the Association, and we tried to get on the trail of work for him. Temporary work was found, and soon a permanent position on a plantation. These cases show how helpful an organization the Association can be in a community. js The Last Year. September 6 Dr. Hand will arrive from the States, the last of our force to return from vacation, and right away the work of the year, the last in the old building, will begin. We go into the fall work with the highest of hopes and best of spirits. Vacation time has given us opportunity to get a new vision of our field and work, to plan new features, to correct methods, study, and get new inspiration. While we have no such spectacular stunt as last year's building campaign up our sleeves, yet we will interest a good many young men, anil let folks know we are alive. The membership committee says i; is going to get a total of 800 members in the Association, and the educational committee wants 300 students in the night school. The old Greeks said. "They can. because they think they can." Our committees have a good deal of that kind of canning in their system. sf Our Basket Ball Team. The warm weather of summer did not discourage our athletes. They organized Jas. S. Nott as captain, and went after the nearest scalp. I* happened to be that of Fort Shatter. We beat them first on our court, then a little worse on theirs, and then still worse on a neutral court. To celebrate this series of victories, the general secretary gave the Ixiys a party at his house. Souvenir lead soldiers with a paper basket ball attached were found at each man's plate at table as mementoes of the suin'mer's work. a basket ball team with J> Our Field. The following discriminating stateregarding the field of the S. M. C. A. is taken from the annual rejxirt of Mr. L. Wither Messer, for many years general secretary of the Chicago Young Men's Christian Association, an Association that has won the approval of the business men of the city. This is shown by the statement that it has received over $1,700,000 in gifts during the past two years. Sober reasoning has led the Asstxriation to believe that its effort should be mainly directed to the building of Christian character of men and boys, the preoccupying of such lives by the constant use during leisure hours of constructive forces which make for symmetrical manhood. In accomplishing this object the Association believes that its evangelistic spirit was never so strong, if by evangelism is meant the real and practical interpretation of the spirit and teachings of Jesus to those who arc in greatest need. For the Association to attempt to conduct great evangelistic campaigns for the city in general would be to usurp the functions and privileges of the clergy, the churches ami other organizations which stand for that specific thing. For tlie Association to promote movements for the civic and stxrial l>etterment of the city would be to do in a less effective way what the clubs and specific societies organized for the purpose are doing with an ever-increasing degree of efficiency. To Specialise for the man who is down ment | iQIO and out and to crowd its buildings with men of that type would mean the closing Men Working for Men Quick C-a,|- THE FRIEND. 10 of the door of opportunity to the boy and young man who is in the making and who should be prevented from sowing his wild oats. The Assix'iation, therefore, would forfeit its claim for continued support if its lines of advance should be similar to those organizations which are already effective in meeting existing needs. The great future work of the Association must be the building of Christian character among men and boys who are not effectively helped by other agencies. For the Association to follow the method of the professional evangelist, or devote its energies in drastic condemnation of the habits and beliefs of the non-Christian, or even immoral, man, or to set itself as a judge of disputes between capital and labor, or tti purify the municipal life of the city or to clean up the vice districts, would be to close the door of access to the great multitude of men who today, through prejudice or ignorance, fail to respond to the forces which stand for the moral and six:ial betterment of our city life. The Association has but one job, as before stated, namely, the building of Christian character in young men and boys who fail to respond to other agencies which seek to help them. The Association is able to bring to its buildings and under its influence many thousands of men and boys each year who never darken the doors of a Protestant church, and, in fact, many who do not go to any church. Here is where the final test of Association efficiency is found. The supporting membership of the Governor of Nagasaki, one of the fortythree prefectural chiefs appointed by the emperor, is breaking down prejudice and attracting interest in Christianity in that section of Japan. The Governor said, "I am not giving this money to the Association because it is a proselyting stKiety, but because it is doing a wholesome and needed work, and because the country needs just such moral influences thrown around its youth. The seventy-five men, who composed the new Chinese Provincial Parliament, sent an invitation to the secretary of the Poochow Association, the only foreigner invited, to attend its first meeting, which marked the beginning of an era of representative government in the oldest ami largest nation of the world. • jl Causing Talk.

A few years ago he started a rival bank out �September, 1910 of spite. It was said that he had given a site for a church antagonistic to the Christian faith and refused to give to the Association building. His wife had left him, and he lived cordially hated and alone in his big house. Less than a year agt> he called on the Association secretary, and said, "How can I get a Bible?" He was shown a catalogue and told he might get one for twenty-five cents. "No," said he, "1 want a good one—the best." One was ordered for him and delivered, and that was the beginning of a series of long talks about the Bible and the Christian life. He seized every opIKirtunity for help. He applied for church membership. People were astonished to see him and the president of the bank he had antagonized walking down the street arm in arm, and much more so when both, together with a leading attorney of the city, came before the church for baptism and membership. Then ensued an intense personal work among the business men. more than fifty of whom have been won through him and the men he has enlisted. What a change! Central Union News A. A EBERSOLE Under the Spell of the "Other Sheep." Our first Sunday in Italy was spent by us two alone. Staying over night at La Cava, among the hills, we took the early train for the ancient Greek town of Paestuiu or Poseidon's Town, that is the Town of the Sea God. Six centuries before Christ a prosperous Greek colony peopled the plain and had built their city on the shore of what is now the lovely THE FRIEND, bay of Salerno. There they expressed their faith partly in the form of a series of massive temples, the ruins of three of which have withstood the tempests, the more terrifying earthquakes and the still more jxitent wear of two and a half milleniums. The place was not on the itinerary of our party, hence we slipped off by ourselves. It was a perfect summer's day, the heat tempered to coolness by a refreshing sea breeze, and when we reached the little station we found only four other persons bound on the same quest as ourselves. The temples are in the midst of green fields, surrounded by prosperous farms, the deep blue sea on one side, and mountains in the background. The Temple of the Sea God is the best preserved of the three, a structure in se- vere simple Doric style, the stone mellowed by age into a rich brown in perfect harmony with the brilliant greens and blue of land and sea. Here we two seated ourselves in the shade of the splendid columns and held our quiet service of worship. As we joined in prayer and psalm it seemed as though the centuries faded into nothingness and the thronging thousands of the past, who here had expressed their devotion to the unknown God by building this noble temple and resorting hither to worship, were all about us. A fuller meaning of Jesus' words, "Other sheep have I which are not of this fold" flooded our souls and we found ourselves in mysterious blessed communion with the worshipful spirits of all ages and all faiths. It was a wonderful morning and will linger in memory as long as time endures. No better introduction to strange who differ in manifesting their sense of dependence upon the Common Father of us all, could have been provided for us. Its inspiration has continued every subsequent day. It has proved the key to open doors of sympathy in all our contact with both past and present in this wonderful country. We realize as never before that the strongest of all ties is not family or country or race, but the common humanity which Jesus came to reveal by showing all men their Father and by binding them together in Himself their Elder Brother antl Friend. DOREMUS SCUDDER. J« President King's Visit. ()nce again have we been made to realize how great an advantage it is to live on"the cross-roads of the Pacific," where we may get to see and hear so many of the leading men of America, either as they go out to visit the Orient or return from there. 11 President Henry Churchill King, of Oberlin College, has just spent two weeks in Hawaii on his way home, in his trip around the world, and has enriched us all by his splendid addresses, and by his association with us this little while. He arrived in Honolulu on the steamer Korea Saturday afternoon, August 6, at exactly 4 o'clock, just in time to attend a public reception which had been arranged for him by Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Castle on the lawn of their beautiful home from four to six o'clock that afternoon. "Just like President King," said one of his former pupils, as the automobile swept up to the house and President King stepped briskly out just in time to meet the first of the arriving guests, "always coming in to his class just at the last minute, but never late. Although it was mid-summer and a great many of the leading families were away, there was a large attendance at the reception—several hundred of the best people of Honolulu being present to meet "resident King. And on Sunday morning Central Union Church was crowded, it having been announced that if the boat got in in time President King would preach. He gave a most able discourse on "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done." Sunday evening he spoke in the old historic Kawaiahao Church to a union meeting of the Hawaiian churches of the city. The pastor of the church, Rev. Henry Parker, introduced him in the Hawaiian language, and as President King arose he said that that added one more to the many different languages in which he hail been introduced the past year. He gave them his "Laws of the Djvine Friendship" in such simple, forceful language that an interpreter was hardly necessary. There were very few among all the Hawaiians present who did not understand the greater part of his address. By special request he gave an address on his impressions of the Orient at a union mid-week meeting on the Wednesday following, taking for his subject, "The Program of the Advance of Western Civilization in the East." This was in reality one of the lectures which President King has been preparing while in Honolulu to give at the University of California as soon as he reaches the coast. We could not help but wish that it might have been possible for him to give the entire series here. Let us hope that they may soon be published, that we may all enjoy them. But the address which the people of Honolulu will remember longest was his address, "Facing the Facts of Life," and the question box which he conducted after it. at Central Union Church on the second Sunday evening. We all felt sat- �THE FRIEND. 12 isfied, for Honolulu had heard our president at his best. With his speech-making done and his California lectures completed, everything was favorable for the trip to Hawaii, and the volcano Kilauea, which he had planned to make the second week. Rev. W. D. Westervelt accompanied him, and as good fortune would have it, the volcano was very active while they were there. President King came back very enthusiastic over the trip. The "(Iberlinites," of whom there are some thirty in Honolulu, wished very much to have an evening with President King. Fortunately the Nippon Maru, which was to sail on Saturday, was a day late, and that left Saturday evening for this delightful occasion. A goodly number of former Obcrlin students, their wives and husbands, gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Forbes. Toasts on"The Oberlin of the Past," "The Oberlin of the Present," "The Oberlin of the Future," "Our King," and "Mrs. King" were happily responded to, after which Mr. Percy Pond presented to the president a large album of Hawaiian views to carry home with him as a memento of his visit here." 1 le left for San Francisco Sunday afternoon, carrying with him Honolulu's warmest "Aloha." and their wish that he might return some time again. A. A. E. The Library Alcove ERNEST J. REECE Trails and Prospects. Stranger indeed to Nature's fondest whispers is he who knows not the delights of the trail. For feet wearied with the town there is no rest like that of the way which narrows from street to lane and from lane to grass-hid path. The limb timed to easy rhythm by the heavy tramping shoe takes vigor from each pressure upon the soft earth. Minds clamped to the shuttle of daily routine loosen their racking grip as they search the gulch and scan the ridge. With the constraint of time and task removed, nerves cease to assert themselves. To the hills, for the hills' sake! If there be a panacea, it lies not hidden in sorcerer's hut or within chemist's crucible or behind physician's mien of wisdom.

The quickening air of the heights hovers above ready to charge us with life even as the mysterious "sa" in which the Egyptian gods sought energy in realms beyond the known world. And so if our country has been engrossed in the building of her trails and the assembling of her powers and the fortifying of her institutions it is not that she lacks the ear attuned and the eye alert for the more splendid offerings of ex|>erience. The way has been toilsome and exacting. But the ascent has well begun. Strength accruing has released strength over and above that required for the climb. America is on the verge of a new appreciation of the beautiful and a deep revelation of herself. What else can be the meaning of the noble hills that our Carreres and Cass' and Burnhams are rearing, exhibiting as they do a grandeur gleaned from Greek and Moor and from the Gothic era? What other significance in the art that adorns their walls, conceived by our Abbeys and Sargents and Alexanders in the very spirit of our age anil therefore redolent with that faithfulness which lies at the center of beauty's soul ? < )r who can doubt that our St. Gaudens' and Barnards and Wards, sculptors of life and labor and world visions, are giving classic form to a craft of which they know well the spirit?

And what shall be said of that most subtle of all forms of beauty— poetry ? Possibly Lanier and Gilder are the earliest beams of its renaissance. It is not worthy of America to pursue the trail for the mere brute exhilaration of violent exertion. A loftier purpose should guide her even than that involved in setting a record of achievement. Her glory need not be a glory dimmed by cloud, inevitable as it is that the fog should now and again descend and blanEven were she to ket the outlook. slacken perceptibly from her terrible endeavor the apparent retardation need not be one of disadvantage or loss.

If such be conceivable of trees, how much more so of many an old homestead sheltered by yews or elms or perhaps fantastic algarobas and centering in a simple old house which the storms of a hundred winters and the passing of successive generations have consecrated. The charm of such spots lies partly in their associations, but no less in the unaffected dignity with which an age of simple living and unpretentious ideals invested them. The want of this simplicity, attainable in a building of whatever day or character, robs many a modern structure of its sole claim to respectability. In this out of door community one's unconscious conviction is that houses are an alien necessity at best. They exist by sufferance as a concession to Hawaii's inheritance of northern civilization. Of how great import, therefore, that our homes be of unobtrusive accommodating appearance. Architectural axioms are easy of comprehension. The precepts of beauty for the home builder are not complex. A house of pleasing appearance costs no more to construct than does an ugly one. Some time our new social conscience will comprehend what now is too often regarded as one of the neglibles in its campaign for city improvement. The citizen will feel the force of a public sentiment which forbids him to ignore the canons of good taste in rearing his rooftree. In that day the city home as well as the modest manor will invest itself with the soul atmosphere —an atmosphere which, consorting with the genius of the spot, grows rich in associations as the years go by.

The Hawaiian was once a farmer. His conditions made him such. His welfare kept him such. There were no sufficient inducements in former days to detach him from the land.

New avenues of employment created restiveness. The allurements of city life were persistent and appealing. Being a naturally gregarious people the current city-ward made the left-behinds discontented, and they too sought fellowships of city life. So that while there are yet many Hawaiians getting a comfortable living from the land, there are districts that have been abandoned by them to such an extent as to make their absence noticeable. j» Where Have They Gone? Some have perished from the land. But a considerable contingent is to be found in Honolulu. In that number are not a few who are helplessly stranded. Their resources are exhausted. They are living in great poverty. They are the prey of untoward circumstances. That means dissipation, insufficient food, close crowding in limited quarters, unsanitary conditions, and the white plague. ji The White Plague. In this wonderful climate, where outdoor life is a year-round privilege, tuberculosis was once an almost unknown disease. Now there is a death every day the year through from this scourge. And a large proportion of the deaths are in Honolulu and among Hawaiians. Various devices and projects are fairly under way to check the inroads of this white plague. The public has been generous in its support of schemes to corral this evil and to lessen its ravages. Some of these schemes look forward to better housing for the poor under more sanitary conditions. But these schemes have in view the continued stay in the city of the people among whom this disease is making the greatest headway. Would it not be a wiser scheme to induce some of these people at least to return to the country? J« Back to the Land. The best housing, the best conditions, the greatest comfort, are to be found by these people by going back again to the land. Freedom from the depraving influences of city life, the wholesome effect of honest toil under healthful conditions, the new outlook that comes with the sense of ownership, the physical vigor that comes from a sufficiency of good food — these are the best combatants of a disease that thrives on beings who have lost heart, and have become dissipated and are living in unsanitary conditions. The surest way to combat the white plague is to cut off its supply of material. There �14 are doubtless hundreds of strong, ablebodied men and women living in untoward circumstances in Honolulu who will fall victims to tuberculosis if they keep on as they are, but who might be rescued from such a disaster if they could get back again to the land. a* The Economic Advantage. We are spending considerable money per head for immigrants to come into this country and to go upon the land. Some experiments in this line have had a ques- tionable outcome. If further experiments are to be tried, why not try some of them with the natives of the soil ? It surely would be more economic to induce stranded Hawaiians in Honolulu to return to the soil, than to spend so much money in charitable expedients to meet the needs and to ward-off the evils of their continuance in present conditions. Besides, the Hawaiians have a clear claim to primary consideration in the present movement for the resettlement of the land. Once they were splendid producers. Given favorable conditions they can become such again. And it is better to rescue a good producer out of the slums of I lonolulu than to go abroad for one. We are in the early stages of some very radical changes in industrial methods in Hawaii, and it will prove an economic advantage all around to give the willing Hawaiian a fair chance on his native soil.

There are certain advantages that come with proximity to others, such as schools and churches, that depend on united action. Hence the most hopeful method of securing a permanent return to the land would be that of colonizing. That would mean a careful selection of location, as to soil, rainfall, facilities for transportation, and general wholesomeness. It would mean a central supervision that would act in behalf of the general good. It would mean wise planning for the sixrial betterment of the colony. It would mean such a holding of the land that each individual would possess ownership rights in definite pieces of land subject to reversal to the colony whenever the individual should cease to reside on such land.

Hawaii Cousins "AULD LANG SYNE." delightful reunion of old PunaA hou boys and girls was held at the residence of Judge and Mrs. S. B. Dole, on the afternoon of August 31st, 1910, at four o'clock. David B. Lyman and Mrs. Lyman, with Mrs. Mills, were the guests of honor. Judge and Mrs. Dole, in their own gracious and inimitable manner, received their guests, and at once set them at ease, saying, "You are William, David, Orramel, Ellen, Bob, Mary, just boys and girls again, today." After the reception all repaired to the spacious lanai, with its hanging baskets, vines and palms, its large cage where canaries flew free from perch to perch among the green ; and its wide, surrounding ledge, which served as well for seats for the silver-haired boys and girls, as for the rare plants. Here were tables and chairs, and the book for registering names, and here delicious refreshments were served by graceful maidens in dainty attire. Judge Dole welcomed the guests in an address humorous, eulogistic and retrospective. He introduced his remarks by explaining, in a pleasing way, why Chicago cousins seldom return to Hawaii. Something in the air holds them, but David Lyman, going out for a breath of fresh air .founded a city, and has spent his time since in developing it. Mr. Dole recalled many incidents of this "iron age" at Punahou. Mrs. Mills was called upon, and spoke of the economics of this "iron age," and of the fine class of boys and girls at Punahou at that time, and she was glad to see the developed lives of these students and to know the good they have done. When asked if she remembered certain boys, she said, "I remember nothing bad." Mrs. Weaver recalled names and games anil many incidents of Punahou life in olden times. A. B. Clark regretted that Judge and Mrs. Lyman could not remain. He had spent many years in Chicago and had many friends there, but there is no place like the Islands for a home. He felt very grateful to Mrs. Mills that her memory was no better. C. H. Dickey especially welcomed Mrs. Lyman and claimed to be her oldest friend in Hawaii, as he knew her as a little girl in Tennessee, and had attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman. most - �September. 1910 When Mr. Lyman was called upon, his apology for reading his address was lack of time to tell half or even a small fraction of what he had to say, and he must either condense on pa]x;r or talk till morning. Mr. Lyman s(X)ke as follows: Receiving an intimation at a late date from our honored host that I might be asked to say something on this occasion, and fearing 1 may say too much and abridge our social intercourse, I have hastily noted a few thoughts. I confess, however, that I feel somewhat embarassed to speak as an Old Punahou Boy. 1 was one of the smallest, youngest and most humble of the splendid lot of Punahou boys and girls with whom I associated at school some years ago. I was shown the Blue Book a few days since, with the remark: "We girls were always tender about our ages, and you need not expect that any of the old girls who were of your age or older, will attend the reception of any old Puimliou Boy." I replied: "The boys and girls of Punahou never grow old, and are as young in their hearts as ever." 1 am quite willing to concede, as I have probably experienced more snowbound winters than anyone here, that 1 am the oldest of the crowd present, but I am not a Rip Van Winkle, as I have brought my wife with me. The old days of Punahou in which we lived were in the Iron Age, and when 1 meet or hear of the boys and girls of that age, I am filled with wonder and admiration at their position and success. They stand like the Cedars of Lebanon or the Towers of Heshbon. We are all proud of President and Mrs. Alexander, who have just entered into their golden age ; of the eloquent and saintly Henry Parker, who leads and guides the oldest and most ini|X)rtant Hawaiian body of Christians: of Judge Dole, the former president and governor, the first and foremost of our statesmen and politicians, who reminds us. by his wisdom, of his saintly father, the founder of Punahou School and Oabu College; of Mr. Henry Baldwin, William Castle, Samuel Damon, George Wilcox, and many other equally well known successful business men. lawyers and statesmen, who are fitting representatives of the Iron Age of Punahou. I miss, too, many men and women belonging to that age, who have been leaders at home and abroad, among whom are General Samuel C. Armstrong, Chief Justice Frank Judd, Samuel T. Alexander, Charles H. Cooke. Henry M. Lyman, Porter Green and others. We can say of all that they fought the good fight and finished their course and left the impress of their lives in this and other parts of the world. • THE FRIEND. We had co-education in those days and the most lovely and beautiful girls in the world. The Misses Judd, Pattie Cooke Alexander, Emma Smith Dillingham, Sarah K. Clark Lyman, Lucinda Severance. Juliette Cooke Atherton, Annie and Emily Alexander. Emily Baldwin and many others equally able and attractive. When I left the Islands, most of our dear fathers and mothers were alive and doing God's work with that ability and vigor which made the Hawaiian nation a Christian nation, the motto of which was, "Ua Man Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono." I find on my return only one of that noted band living, namely, dear Mother Rice. 94 years of age. who. with her faculties intact, still prays for the peace of Jerusalem, and rejoices in the progress of the world. With this single exception, every one of our fathers and mothers who were living when I left Hawaii, and who consecrated their lives for the redemption and salvation of the Hawaiian people, now rest from their labors. I find everywhere, the impress of their lives upon the people of Hawaii, through their sons, daughters, grand-children and great-grand-children. I am asked daily: "How do the Islands look to you on your return?" My answer is. they are perfectly lovely, and our few weeks stay in the Islands has been a joy to my wife and myself. I have had more pleasure and fun to the square inch than during any other equal time of my life. I have realized what was so well said by another, that to get the most out of any land, one must have loved every hill, mountain and stream from boyhood. He must have seen, as he has often gone over it, sunsets and sunrises, mountain and bay, winter frosts and summer harvests: he must have had a heart as full as a bobolink's, and a friend by his side, whose presence irradiated and glorified all things. One's native land, only, can furnish the finest drive in the world, and, during our brief visit here, all of these conditions have been realized, and we have had the joy and privilege to ride over roads and through scenery unequaled in any part of the world. The drive to the top of Punchbowl; through Ntuianu Valley, over the Pali and around the Island of 15 Oahu; on Kauai from Lihue to Waimea, and from Lihue to Hanalei; the drive from Hilo to Kalapana, and from Hilo to Kilauea; and the wonderful automobile road from the Volcano House to the Lake of Fire, Halemaumau, equal, and perhaps surpass the drives in Switzerland and Italy; or even what is called the finest drive in the world, the road along the shores of the Bay of Naples from Sorrento to Castel-a-Mare. Leaving here fifty years ago, making a swift voyage of 125 days in a sailing vessel around Cape Horn to New Bedford, and leaving the country without many of the comforts of life at that time, I return to find the cozy grass houses replaced by substantial wooden and stone homes. Kukui candles, tallow dips, whale oil lamps, are replaced by gas and electric lights, and by modern lights in the country. Even the food has changed—in some cases for the worse. Poi, fish, cocoanuts, cocoanut water, sugar cane, limu, luau. kalo. the praises of which were chanted and sung by the bards and priests of Hawaii from time immemorial, and re-echoed by the boys and girls of Punahou of the Iron Age, have mostly disappeared, and have been superseded by the dyspeptic, rheumatic and appendicitis-producing food so highly recommended by some of the successful doctors and surgeons of the present age. I find the grand old hills and mountains in every part of the islands unchanged. The blue sky and old ocean, and the swiftly rolling surf, are as they were. But, many changes have come, which seem strange. The dear old monarchy, under which I was born and loved, is sii|xjrseded by the stable government of our common country. The barren plains adjoining Honolulu have been irrigated and are covered with the most luxuriant vegetation. Trees, ornamental and fruit, have made Honolulu the garden spot of the Pacific. Hilo. the Paradise of Hawaii, has only six houses standing which existed fifty years ago, and, in place of the sleeping paradise, a city is springing into existence, with a mighty harbor, in which the United States is expending over three millions of dollars on the breakwater alone.

Fifty years ago I visited Kilauca from Hilo. traveling on foot, taking two days to reach the volcano. Another day was consumed in descending to the depths of the crater, and passing, by slow and painful stages, to the Lake of Fire On the opposite side. Within the last few days 1 visited the same crater, going by automobile from Hilo to the volcano, staying in a luxurious hotel on the brink of the crater, and then by swift passage in an automobile, almost to the Lake of Fire. Having occasion to call in the services of a physician from Hilo, 1 used the telephone, and obtained the presence of the doctor ill two hours. We have received a warm welcome from my old frientls and from many new ones. My wife and myself will leave Hawaii with the deepest gratitude to one and all, and with our most earnest tiesire for the peace and prosperity of all our friends and the people at large. I have been greatly impressed with the cosmopolitan character of the people, iii every portion of the Islands. The dear, lovely, true-hearted Hawaiian is giving place to a more mixed and new people. Hawaii is the "Melting Pot" of the Pacific, anil is moulding many nationalities into a new life, which, I believe, will be better and stronger than any that has gone before; provided, that those who are the leaders, will repsect and carry out the old motto of the nation, and will bring the Shinto and Buddhist temples and other strange religions which are coming to our shores, into peaceful harmony anil obedience to the Golden Rule and the religion taught by the Son of Righteousness. Maidens with the heart of May, Sought we still through wisdom's pages All the wealth of all the ages; Knocking at the gates of knowledge— The golden gates of Day. And she gave us fairest glimpses Of the land we sought; Dealing with unstinted measure, From her richest hordes of treasure, To the one who delved the deepest In he mines of thought. Then we stood upon the threshold Panting for the fight. Did not see the rank and flic Pressing on each weary mile, Only saw the plumes of heroes Waving In the light. Heard the thunder of the battle. Saw the flashing of the blade, But the weary groans and sighing, The sharp agony and crying, All were lost in martial music And the cannonade. Since then we have waged the conflict; Since then we have felt the steel; Have our hearts been brave and steady, Have our arms been always ready When the foe came charging on With furious zeal? Are we conquerors In life's battle? Are we winning victor's palms? Does the fragrance of our living, Rich in pure unselfish giving, Rise to heaven daily like the Sweet-toned notes of psalm-i? Have we learned the hardest lesson That this earthly life can give? How in pure self-sacrifice The real fame and honor lies; How by sweet unselfishness We learn the way to live. There are fields of vaster learning, There are halls of larger thought, And the Master's voice, sublime, Kinging down the aisles of time, ('alls us in those halls to gather, He the teacher, we the taught. At His feet we shall lay down All the vexed things of life; Problems that we tolled on late, Questions hard and intricate, Mysteries that we could not solve, With dangers rife. fast as they come from the printer. Since the report was finished in early May. five of our family of cousins have passed beyond this life. Three of these names appear in the first report of the society, published in 1853. WILLIAM W. HALL. W. W. Hall has filled almost every office in the sixriety. He was on the editorial board of the "Maili Wreath" for many years, and through all the half century and more he has attended every meeting when possible, and in every way took an interest in its affairs and helped in its charities. At the last meeting of the society, the adjourned meeting, held at the home of Governor Frear, on April 30, I°lo, Mr. Hall was acting president. It will lx' a long time before the members cease to look around for his familiar face, or listen in vain for the voice now joining in the harmonies of heaven. MR. RUFUS LYMAN. Mr. Lyman's name appears as a member in that first report of 1853,-and though living in Hilo, and unable to attend many meetings, he loved the society and made eleven children members of it. Mr. Lyman was Ixirn June 23rd, 184:!, at Hilo. Having a good foundation for an education laid at the home of his parents, who were good teachers, be attended school at Punahou from 185ti to lXfii. In lXfrfi he married Miss Rebecca Brickwood, whose life was full of good works, and who died in 1906. A noble family of children rise up to call them blessed. Ten or eleven of these children attended Punahou College, and three have gone to West Point. Mr. Lyman was the adviser and righthand man of Ruth Keelokolani, the governess of Hawaii during the monarchy, and was respected, trusted and loved by the natives as well as by his own' countrymen, He was faithful at religious ser- �17 THE FRIEND.

During many years of his middle life he carried on a dairy ranch at Waialua, on lands now covered by the Waialua plantation. Mr. Emerson returned in 1855. His loss of hearing was a handicap for many years, and the silence of the world and the loneliness of life turned his thoughts inward and made him peculiar at times, but the missionary spirit was in his veins and he was accustomed even in the later years of his feebleness, to gather the children of the street into his rooms for a Sunday school service. To one who for so long walked in silence, what must it be to hear the "Welcome," the angel's song and the "Come, ye blessed of the Father!" ji ROBERT MILLS FULLER. Mr. Robert Fuller died July sth, 1910. He had been a member of this society since 1872. His father, Josiah Fuller, was teacher of the Royal School after the Cixikes left, and his mother was Mary Ann Mills Fuller, a sister of MothHis brother Edward anil er Damon. sister Ellen reside in California. Mr. Fuller was born in Koloa Nov. 18, 1851, and attended Punahou from 18(i6 to 1869. For a time he pursued his education in the United States, and returning, was for many years a trusted employe of the firm of Allen & Robinson. He had a faithful wife and a very interesting family of children. The long years of pain, of suffering and helplessness were hard for such a man to endure, and like a refining fire. "I think man's great capacity for pain Proves his immortal birthright. I am sure No merely human mind could bear the strain ( )f some tremendous sorrows we endure. his employ. When the end came his brother and one sister were at his side, and the impressive funeral service was held at the home of his sister, Mrs. Winne. The exquisite flowers, arranged by Mrs. James Taylor, the soft strains of music. "Thy Will Be Done," sung by Mr. Stanley Livingston to an accompaniment by Miss Jane Winne, his mother's paintings on the wall behind the casket, the sympathetic words and tones of the minister. Rev. Ebersole, and most of all the many inspiring passages from the Bible, such as "I know that my Redeemer liveth," all' tended to take away the sadness of death and bring heaven nearer. Mr. Taylor died August 21st, 1910. Our Young People HENRY P. JUDD Teacher Training Department. The most important position in connection with our religious life of today is that of Sunday school teacher. All factors in the Sunday school work are inuiortant; the superintendent should be a specialist; the other officers are all im- |x>rtant elements; the music, the social atmosphere and class-room equipment are necessary to a successful school, and these arc all means to an end. The great end of Sunday school work is to give a knowledge of God's Word, or, as some of our training class textbooks put it, "To lead to Christ, not to train up in Christ." The supreme work and the supreme factor for the accomplishment of this end is the teaching. Without teaching any school is a failure With gixxl teaching the problems of Sunday school work arc easily solved. Though many consider teaching a trivial task it is the greatest work that (Jod has ever given his people to perform. The commission of our Master was "Go teach." The commission of the Gospel is today identically the same. livery teacher is an assistant pastor, and ought to feel that his duty is to have pastoral care over those whom he teaches. There are certain elements which a teacher should possess. First of all, he should be an earnest Christian. He is the shep- herd of the flock, and must be able to interest the pupil, must know what to teach and how to teach it. Sixriety news, baseball talk and sports in general may be the right means to hold the attention of some obstreperous boy or giddy girl for a time, but this is a failure unless it is used as a means to a larger and more important end of interesting the pupil in religious and sacred things. The Bible is the greatest book in all the world, but no one can teach the Bible any more than he can teach any other book without a knowledge of its structure, the relationship of the various parts, and the purpose for which these parts were specifically given. A knowledge of the gradual development of Coil's Word to men is necessary, and while other and extraneous matters maydraw for a time, in the last analysis it takes the knowledge of the Bible to accomplish the results expected. The teacher must not only be devoted to his work and interested in it, but he must be able to interest. He must be interested in his pupils, whether they are men or women or boys or girls; interested in their welfare: interested in their home environment and every day conditions. No one .can have the necessary elements for teaching unless he understands three things. First. he must know the book which he is to teach ; second, he must know the object which he seeks, and lastly, he must know how to teach. Because of the importance of the subject, there should be in every school as far as possible, a teacher-training class Now is the time to organize such classeall over the Islands. The summer vacation is over and the public schools have recalled to their posts of duty many of our most faithful Sunday school teachers. The school year is beginning. Why Who hasn't heard of ESTEY ORGANS? YOU, I ERHAPS, did not know that we keep them here at the Board Book Rooms. �THE 18 should there not be a beginning of new things in the Sunday schools ? We should all help to arouse our schcxils to greater effort and stimulate the work of the teachers. This matter of teacher training has so often been mentioned in these columns that some one may be tired of reading about the same object continually. The editor of this jwge feels the importance of the subject so keenly, however, that he must keep the matter before his readers. What are you doing alxmt it ? Are you floing your part in training others in this necessary evil? For yourself, you can gain knowledge of the Bible from a careful study of the Book each day, together with the reading of many valuable works on the subject. Now that so much study has been given to the Bible by the most learned men. we have countless sources of help in the field of Biblical research. If you are a teacher in the Sundayschool, will you not try to train yourself in the knowledge of the Bible and do what you can in the training of others? In this way you may be of great assistance in the promoting of the Kingdom of Heaven. JS A Brief Catechism. Mention was made in the last issue of The Friend of the brief catechism prepared by the Rev. C. G. Bumham of Laliaina, Maui, and its virtues set forth among the "Wailuku Notes." It seems fitting to make further mention in this department of The Friend, because of its relation to the training of our young people, of this worthy little work and to commend the booklet to teachers in our Sunday schools. Instruction of this character is greatly needed in our schools, and we should do all we can to promote the knowledge of the Truth as it is in lesus. J» Home Influence. San Francisco, 1911. Craft Wares — YE ARTS & and the various departments seem to Ikalive to any new method that will make for progress. It is the wish of the Association that organized work in Hawaii may Ix,' more effective. If each school will do its part and each teacher and superintendent do his work faithfully, and each island association do what it can and the Territorial Association do all in its power, then organized work in Hawaii will be of real value anil the work will go forward steadily.

The foundation of religion is reverence —that recognition of the spiritual which surrounds us and awes us. This sense of reverence begins in the home. Is it not natural that the little child should look [Hand up to the su|x?rior ]xiwcr and knowledge his patents, under whose care he finds himself? At an early age we may sec signs of his reverence for the beautiful. What little child ever looketl at the stars at night or the glories of the sunrise or sunset without a feeling of sublimity? It is easy for him to reverence, love and trust the one who made these wonderful things, as well as all creatures, both great and small. The next great lesson for him to learn is obedience, and this lesson is learned at home. His future welfare demands that he learns to obey. If he learns to obey his parents, submit his will to theirs, it will not be so hard for him to submit to the will of God, but the latter is a hard lesson for him if he has not learned the former. The third lesson is duty to others, which also has its beginning in the home where the child should learn to be fair, to consider others. Teach him the Golden Rule. After he leaves his home if he has learned this lesson well he can easily extend to his larger circle of fellow men with whom he comes in contact. So a child should grow in reverence, obedience and duty to others, to the extent that the spirit of the home is sincerely Christian. a* Of The thirteenth September, 1910 FRIEND.

T., AUGUST, 1910 Speaking of the Election. Did we lose anything? Arguing that one never loses anything one never pos- sessed. WE lost nothing when the election was lost, for it appears we never even had a chance of winning. Besides. what we really had was the RIGHT in the matter, and it would be downright silly to call that lost, because, forsooth. a timid, befooled or degenerate majority voted WRONG. "IJut didn't you really think you'd win —"win out," in the popular sense?" Aye, we own up. We're just that sort of political "plum fool." We counted on something that wasn't there, but chiefly, we didn't count on something that was there We banked on the Hawaiian political conscience, and idiotically overlooked the Hawaiian's political training. It's that training we want to discuss right here. It is the secret of the '"losing" of the election. We can't prove that the Hawaiian collective conscience was with us on the "yes" side of that election, but we believe that it was,—is yet. Hut the money, the organization, the autos of the liquor people were convincingly in line with all of the Hawaiian's political experience, and of course, "won out.' "Why the other side, the Prohibs, just naturally didn't have interest enough in the election to buy up a man, tote a voter to the polls, much less stay around to button-hole every possible vote." Isn't the inference plain ? The Hawaiian had been trained to believe that Prohibition had no political right to win. Who Trained the Hawaiian Voter? "If you want to win this election," said a prominent gentleman when the campaign first started, "it will cost you about two dollars a vote." "Surely, a bit of prophecy," you say. Not at all, it was simply history. Some of the leading Hawaiians, genuinely interested to win in the Prohibition plebiscite, proposed a campaign involving the raising and spending of about fifteen thousand dollars. They were much crestfallen when told that the occasion that had arisen was not one of party politics, and that no such sum of money, even if it could be raised, might be spent in such a cause. "Why, the Republicans spent over $30,000 in a cam- paign?" Do they? How? Not criminally —there being no law. as in many States, to land the purchasers of votes in the penitentiary. Not wisely, we dare aver. Not without the heavy penalty which party and leaders pay when, they teach We a people to debauch the franchise. paid some of this penalty July 26. The proposition, put simply and frankly, is that the Republican party is largely responsible for the notion, very nearly prevalent among the Hawaiians, that the franchise is chiefly valuable for what there is to be made out of it. This was the weapon in the hands of the liquor men, many of whom wire leaders in party politics (though we would be willing to waive that last claim) that "did the business." "Here," thought the Hawaiian voter, "is the Simon-pure article of politics calculated to win out. This organization perspires dollars just like the Republican machine (which it resembles in other particulars), and there does not seem to be any other party in the running." We risk little when we call that the story of the election, and claim further that no Prohibitionist who happens to be a Republican has the right to rail at the Hawaiian voter. No. 8 that the Son of Righteousness would counsel us not to close up the saloons if our votes would do it. Would he tell us that something worse might happen if we forbade men their saloons, or that they had better be free than sober"? We hail Expediency as the greatest as well as the most insidious foe of Right. We fear him more than open opposition. Politics is ninety per cent Expediency—we do not know whether there is a remaining ten per cent. Hence we have no dependence on party manipulation to bring an end to the saloon.

The verdict of the twenty-sixth of July was no true record of the Hawaiian voters' genuine will atxnit the liquor business. It was a demonstration of their insufficiency for such a test: of the impossibility of a fair election in this territory, on any issue; and of the futility of trying to suppress the hideous trade by territorial action—which, after all, may have been, at the last analysis, the real issue in the campaign. And the end is not yet. The first sentiment aroused by a study of the plebiscite from the inside is pity for the native voters. To see a fine native race, after the most marvelous advantages ever enjoyed by such a people, and in complete possession of a wonderful opportunity, go down in such a shallow pool of dirty politics, was a sight to dim the very eyes of civilization. Hut just that is what we have just witnessed. Individual Hawaiians may make good in politics hereafter, but the race, as a race, is out of the race forever, save as the ball to be snatched and carried and kicked by strong teams of white competitors who can play the game. If the liquor problem of Hawaii is discouraging, the general electoral problem is a given-up conundrum. Not knowing who, or what, specifically, is entitled to my humble confession, I apologize to infinite space for having been so dully credulous as to accept the "lemon"aid disguised in the joint resolution of Congress; although, to be sure, the special election has not made the electoral condition worse. It could not be much worse. The plebiscite has even done good. It has given a lot of good citizens, who had not thought much u|>on the subject, a glimpse of the hopelessness of a political situation where the masses are treated and have to be treated as inert and unmoral suffrage "material" to be "handled" in the interest of the "interests." The plight of the decent whites is even more pathetic. It is a tragedy in civics when high-class men of culture, benevolence, high ideals and great ability have to confess themselves possessed of nothing but money that can be safely invested in political enterprise. It is worse than tragedy. It is a farce with the murder of democracy at the end. Worst of all, of course, is the case of the patrons and victims of the victorious bloodsucker. The effect of the emphatic defeat of prohibition will doubtless be a great increase of appetite and "liberty" and scorn of restraint on the one hand and of redoubled and more merciless exploitation of the weak and degraded, on savage: August, l'no. the duction, pauperism and wife-beating?

March 22nd, I<MO. The death of one loved and respected by so large a circle of friends and relatives seems to call for fuller notice. His father was the well known veteran missionary, the Rev. W. P. Alexander. I le was born at Waioli, Kauai, Jan. 7th, 183( >. His father was transferred from that station in 1843 to Lahainaluna, which was the home of the family during the next ten years. He was educated at I'unahou, wliere he was a student from 184') until 1860, first under the Rev. Daniel Dole, and then under Pres. E. G. Heckwith. After leaving that school, he was employed in various capacities in agricultural work, took a course in Heald's Business College, and finally learned the art of sugar boiling in Louisiana, and followed that profession for a number of years, both here and in these islands. Finding that his health suffered from the strain of this exacting employment, he started a cattle ranch in Kohala. Wholly unselfish as he was, and of stainless honor, he was yet subjected, in this part of bis life, to severe trials, of which more cannot be said here. In 1888 he disposed of his interest in the ranch, and removed to California, where he carried on a fruit farm in Shasta county, near Redding, with varying success, for many years. On the sth of April. 1905. he was happily married to Miss Ina H. Weist, at Red Hluff, Cal. Soon afterwards he returned to these islands, and invested in a pineapple farm at Haiku, Maui, which he carried on until a short time before his death. About the first of last March, he purchased a house and lot in Manoa, where he expected to spend many peaceful and happy days among his friends. Hut it was not to be. His removal was to be from this to a better home above. He died from a sudden attack of angina pectoris at his Haiku home on the 23d of last March. His funeral services, which were held the next day at the Paia church, were conducted by the Rev. E. B. Turner, and then what of him was mortal was laid to rest in the Makawao cemetery. He was greatly loved and respected by those who knew him in California, as well as in these islands. One writes of him that "he was one of the kindest, sincerest and best of men." Another friend writes: "Perhaps what impressed me most in him was his sweetness of nature, the fact that years of loneliness and sorrow produced not one particle of bitterness. Another strongly marked and beautiful trait was his love for his own. It is a cause of gratitude to us all that Ina came into his life and brightened it THE 5 FRIEND so well, and made his latter years so happy."

It seemed to him unreasonable that business conducted on high Christian principles should not be as remunerative as business conducted according to the lax moral ideals of the business world. Interesting and convincing investigation along this line led him into the advocacy of the following plan of investments, whereby persons may enjoy in security the fruits of their labors as long as they live, and at the same time be assured that their savings, after they no LIFE ANNUITY, THE IDEAL INVESTMENT Hy Henry A. Collins, "The Life Annuity Man." The only bond worth having is the life annuity bond, for it is the safest, the most lucrative and by far the most satisfactory bond of the present day. No other bond contains so many valuable features. Although life annuity bonds have been sold for more than a hundred and fifty years in the United States, yet there is now a much greater demand for them than, at any time in our past history. The United States Congress is now investigating old-age pensions and life annuities now in o|)eration in other countries, with a view of taking up a similar business. Life annuity bonds may be purchased on the life of one or more persons from three years of age and upward. The rate of interest is determined by the age of the individual for whom the annuity is purchased. The older the person is the higher the rate of interest is paid. The organization that receives money on the life annuity plan can and does pay a much higher rate of interest than the usual business rates, for the reason that at the death of the annuitant all interest payments cease and whatever sum that has been paid by the annuitant becomes the exclusive property of the organization having issued the bond. The economical management and no watering of stock also permits the higher rates of annuity interest. Annuity interest is usually payable annually, semi-annually or quarterly. The history of the life annuity business shows that nearly one-half of all the annuity bonds issued are purchased by peo(Continued on page iS) �Augst,1910. THE FRIEND 6 A GOLDEN WEDDING. Professor W. D. Alexander, LL.D. and his honored wife* celebrated their golden wedding Monday, July 18. A large number of friends assembled in the afternoon, filling house and lanais and overflowing into the beautiful grounds. The Hawaiian band was present, and added greatly to the pleasure of the occasion. Decorations and mottoes which had been made by the late W. W. Hall for the wedding fifty years before, were hanging on the walls. Some of the friends who attended the wedding in 1860 were with the company of 1910. Judge S. B. Dole and Rev. O. H. Gulick made addresses of a reminiscent character, and presented golden gifts, toward which many friends had contributed. Professor Alexander responded with very happy remarks. Mrs. Sereno E. Dishop, who was a guest of fifty years ago, and also at this time, had dictated the following paper which was read by Mr. Frank Damon: FIFTY YEARS AGO. Mrs. S. E. Hishop. As I was present at the marriage of these friends it gives me much pleasure today to renew my congratulations as they pass this golden milestone. May their pathway still be onward and upward, and peace, honor and happiness crown their future lives. Knowing the intimacy of the families it caused no surprise to friends that Father Alexander's eldest son William chose Dr. Baldwin's eldest daughter Abbie for his bride. The wedding occurred on the evening of Wednesday, July 18, 1860, at Lahaina, in the old rambling missionary house then occupied by Dr. Baldwin, which some of you may remember. A short time previous Mary Parker. Abbie's intimate friend, came to help in arranging for the festive occasion. There was ho confectioner to aid in those days. and all preparations must be made at home. Important gatherings were held in Mother Haldwin's room, and various cookbooks were consulted. The wedding fruit cake caused the most anxiety, but decisions were made and work began. The dining room was the scene of ac- tion. The old koa sideboard spread open its resources, and the long table was filled with materials. Busy hands were at work stoning raisins, washing currants, beating eggs, etc. The bride's loaf was Abbie's own handiwork. These loaves which were too large for the home oven were consigned to a Chinaman in town with fear and trembling. The results were successful. Chattering and merriment made a happy scene. Once cream of tartar was required, and application was made to Dr. Baldwin's medical dispensary. He looked Up with wondering surprise, saying, "That is a medicine; what do you want it for?" But he doled it out. We noticed, however, that he frequently took occasion to pass through the dining room watching our proceedings. The old domestics of the house were also much interested. Kali, the cook, often looked in at the back door, and the dignified old Kealoha sat at the window near by with her mending basket, fully enjoying the scene. The Alexander family from Wailuku and a few friends from Honolulu had arrived. Verbal invitations were given to the Andrews and Pogue families of Lahainaltma, and to ourselves—the Bishops—who lived next door, to be present at the ceremony. Written invitations to a reception afterward were sent to those living in the town: Mr. and Mrs. Chandler, of the U. S. Consulate; Dr. and Mrs. White. Mr. and Mrs. Brayton. Captain and Mrs. Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Everett, Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bond, Mr. and Mrs. Howies and their daughters (Mrs. Caverly and Miss Louise). Mr. G. D. Oilman. Mr. Bartow and Mr. Hustace. In due time the house was decorated and all was ready. Leis of made were festooned from the ceiling. Mottoes which you see here today were made at that time, the lettering being of mousefoot. These were placed on the wall, wreathed in green. One corner of the parlor was filled with green, dotted with white flowers. At the appointed hour the bridal party entered from the dining room, passing diThe bride and rectly to this corner. first, attended by four cougroom came pies: Emily Baldwin, the bride's sister; Henry Alexander, the groom's brother; Mary Parker and George Beckwith, Annie Alexander and W. W. Hall; Kitty Hall and Henry Baldwin. The bride wore a dainty white dress (made in the prevailing hoop style of that day), looped with orange blossoms, and a dainty long white veil, also fastened with orange blossoms. The veritable dress is seen here today. The two fathers officiated in the ceremony. Dr. Baldwin tied the knot, and Father Alexander gave his blessing. Family congratulations followed, and the other guests soon arrived. Mrs. Caverley and Miss Bowles, recently come from the States, were especially attractice to the younger members of the family by their pretty lace evening dresses, so daintily trimmed. These ladies added much to the enjoyment by their pleasant songs. After much urging Mrs. Caverly sang a comic song, entitled "His Name was Only Common Hill." After a pleasant social hour, all repaired to the beautifully decorated sitting room of the brother, D. D. Baldwin, where bountiful refreshments were served. At an early hour the gay company dispersed amid congratulations to the happy pair. The next morning the Alexander family left by steamer for their home, and at a later hour in the day, on Friday, the 20th, a party of young friends accompanied the bride and groom on horseback over the rough and rugged mountain road to the Alexander home at Wailuku. cße Strong I Be strong!

This story was told at college. A young man attended a fraternity dance. Before going, however, he had visited a number of places to get liquor refreshment, and got to the dance hall rather the worse for it. Of course no one warned-to dance with him. Undismayed by this, he took his coat tails in his hands and walttzed himself over the floor. Repeated invitations to leave had no avail, so finally he was led to the stairs and thrown down. When he reached the ground he was heard to say, in a drunken mumble, "I knew why you threw me out. You can fool some people, but you can't fool me. You threw me out because you didn't want me." For this same reason the people voted against prohibition. They didn't want it. Of course there was lots of money spent by the liquor men, and we think undue influence brought to bear. But I think 7000 to 2000 represents more than undue influence. c* What We Got. Mr. A. L. Gordon, assistant secretary of the Railroad Y. If. C.

"Scouts" working under its plan, pledge and principles. That it may become neither a military nor a make-believe movement for little boys, but rather realize its tremendous possibilities in character making, the Association has a responsibility to take a hand in guiding it. Already several Hoy Scout movements have been started, but undoubtedly the permanent one will be that now being authorized by Congress, and of which W. D. Boyce, of Chicago, is the backer. In this movement the International Y. M. C. A. Boys' Department will cooperate, and Ernest Thompson Seton, whose woodcraft books and Indian life studies furnished much of the basis of Baden-Powell's scout principles, will give it his aid. The Boy Scouts started with such a rush in England that General Baden-Powell, Mr. W. I!. Wakefield and others found it necessary to give all their time and strength to save it from becoming an irresponsible mob. As it is, they have made constructive units in the nation, and thrifty, intelligent and useful citizens, of boys who otherwise would have been hooligans and gangs of backboncless loafers. The boys are taught and trained in everything that has to do with wholesome, hearty, out-ofdcor life, and drilled in responsible groups by trained volunteer scout leaders. The movement in England has broken down class barriers and brought together separated denominations as nothing before, besides keeping boys in Sunday-school at the period when 90 per cent of them drift away. Already there are a thousand boy scouts in Toronto. At Silver Bay this summer, Messrs. Seton and Wakefield will teach 150 Association camp leaders woodcraft and scoutcraft and lifecraft as well. Scout Principles as Told by English Visitors. The visit of W. B. Wakefield to America has given us a new light on the Scouts. At a dinner given him and Mr. Heald at the Union League Club by Seth Sprague Terry, chairman of the International Boys' Department, he said: "The Boy Scouts are to play a big part in the salvation of Great Britain. Their watchword. 'He prepared.' is not a war, but a a service watchword. A scout 'must go ahead of the rest for the good of the rest.' His solemn oath binds him to 'fear Cod and honor the king." He must tell the truth, be thrifty, cheerful, respectful to seniors, obey orders, be kind to animals and have a bank account of at least one shilling, so that he may be able to help the other fellow in the time of distress. The movement is not a military one, but for education and business. The boy is first admitted as a 'tenderfoot,' and remains on probation for a month. �8 To secure the 'second-class' scouts' badge he must learn first aid, bandaging, track half a mile in twenty-five minutes, or, if he is in town, describe* correctly the contents of one out of four shop windows, observed for one minute each, go a mile in twelve minutes at scouts' pace, lay and light a fire with not more than two matches; cook a quarter of a pound of meat and two |x>tatoes in his 'billy' (tin cup), and know the sixteen points of the compass. To obtain other rank as a scout he must go beyond this in scout craft— swim fifty yards, travel a distance, and report, must name sixty wild flowers, stalk and photograph a wild bird or animal, and measure the height of a tree or width of a stream by triangulation, etc. That the boys are taught real service has been shown by their readiness in emergencies. One group was first at a railroad accident; another, which was trained by firemen, prevented a conflagration by their readiness. They have stopped runaway horses, and saved many from drowning. In fact, they are taught to be citizens with their first thought the good of others. After a boy is fifteen or sixteen years of age, he will not be content with makebelieve, either at play soldier, with a wooden gun, or play Indian, with arrows. painted faces, or feathers. The same weakness is with the Boys' Brigade, antl the Knights of King Arthur, as Mr. Seton also found with his first Indians. A difficulty has been found in securing capable scout leaders —one for every eight to twelve boys. There is the utmost value in the hardy and practical training given by the long hikes, teachinb it lx>y to handle and provide for himself under all circumstances, to shoot, to canoe, to meet every difficulty without fear. These all can be wrought into a plan and sys- tem which will not only attract the small- er boy, but keep him engaged through his teens and into his twenties. Then the movement will be strong, especially as its leaders carry with all this valuable train- ing the scout Bible class instructions. A New Note on*Giving. There is a new note on giving.

It was an experience that seemed but one step removed from a visit to Heaven. The good ship Romanic cleared Boston on time at the fashionable hour of high noon. Honolulu was well represented in the throng of farewellers by the Misses Bosher and Colwell in person, the Willard E. Browns in telegram, and not a few others by letter.

But for this professional coaching he might have been beaten. After five hours at Port Delgado, in the Azores, one is in a position to understand why Hawaii has so gootl an asset in her Portuguese. Neat houses, scrupulously clean streets, happy looking people, every available foot of land blooming with evidences of loving cultivation and picturesque scenes from every outlook tell the whole story. The Azorese are not afraid of heights, like us Honolulans.

Central Union News �THE August, 1010. Large Audiences Hear Dr. White In spite of the fact that an unusually large number of Central Union people are away this summer. Dr. White has from the very first Sunday had large audiences. The Sunday evening attendance has been especially large. This, no doubt, is partly due to the extensive advertising which we have given to these services. A large eight-poster bulletin board in front of the church and twelve smaller bulletin boards on the street down town have announced his subjects each week, while 1,000 cards distributed among the men in the stores, offices and shops have brought a direct invitation each week to at least a thousand men to attend the Sunday evening service. The large per cent of men in the Sunday evening audiences is noticeable. The newspapers, too, have given generous space to our announcements. I tut, while no doubt this thorough advertising has helped to get the attention of the general public it is the uniformly able, powerful addresses of Dr. White that have attracted and held the audiences. The popular character of his subjects arouse interest, and the masterful way in which he handles every subject wins and holds the people, some of whom have seldom been seen in church before. The subjects of his sermons have been as follows: AT THE MORNING SERVICES: 1. "The Keynote of Jesus Life" (Luke 19:10; 15:6. 7). 2. "The Everlasting Arms" (Deut. 33:27). 3. "Not to Destroy but to Fulfil" ( Matt. 5:17). 4. "The Three Specific Sins that Crucified Christ" ( 1. Cor. 15:3). 5. "An Expert's Definition of Life" ( Rom. 8 :61. 6. The Inheritance of the Meek" ( Matt. 5:5). 7. "The Flying Goal" (Matt. 5:47). And at the Evening Service: 1. "The Good Fellow and the Good Man" (Prov. 1:7. Ps. 111:10). 2. "Some One's Receiver is Down" (Mark 6:31). 3. "The Honor of the Flag " (a patriotic address delivered the evening before Independence Day). 4. "Making a Living, and Making a Life." 5.

An Important Business Transaction The Scribe's Corner At a special meeting of the church and congregation held on Wednesday evening, July 6, Central Union Church, voted to authorize the trustees to transfer all property held in its name at Palama Settlement to the new corporation of Palama Settlement when such corporation REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON sympathy with the religious beliefs and missionary activities of Central Union Church, the property hereby deeded to Palama Settlement shall revert to the Central Union Church." Palama Settlement was organized as a mission of Central Union Church, and has always been largely sup]X)rted by the members of the church. The fact (hat it is now to be separately incorporated will, we are sure, in no wise lessen the interest of the church people in this important branch of work. this kind is probably essential in clearing the way for a better holding of virile beliefs. But the tearing down has been a dusty business at best, and men have looked at the ruins rather than at the resources for reconstruction. And it must be admitted that there has seemed to be more fun in the tearing down than there has been purpose in building again. But the building operations have certainly begun, and some of our ablest thinkers are it work in reconstructing religious belief. That is, they are using again the same materials very much, while placing them in more modern relations. Among the foremost builders of belief is Henry Churchill King, President of the Oberlin College, now a guest in Honolulu, returning homeward from an extended lecturing our in India, China, and Japan. The mere mention of the titles of some of his published works, such as "Rational Living," "Theology and the Social Consciousness," "The Seeming Unreality of the Spiritual Life," and ''Reconstruction in Theology," reveal the builder's outlook, and are a sort of blueprint copy of his fundamental purpose to help men forward surely and rationally into a wholesome religious belief. We welcome among us such a force in the religious life of the men of today. We wish Dr. King might make a longer sojourn with us. We extend our hearty grip to our honored guest, and in parting with him God-speed in the great work of building the thoughts of men into a sane, and hopeful and livable belief.

Something of Another Prominent Member Called In the death of Mr. Alexander Young Saturday, July 2, Central Union Church lost another most valuable member. Mr. Alexander was for many years a trustee of this church, and in that capacity always stood for progress and advance, lie was chairman of the Building Committee for the erection of the present magnificent building of Central Union Church. He was a regular attendant at the church services and always gave generously to the support of the church. One by one the vanguard lay down their work. It calls for men of ability and men of consecration to step in and fill their places. Private services were conducted at the home of Mr. Young at Waikiki at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, July 3, and afterwards a public memorial service was held in the church. Although the summe rseason, and the holiday following had taken a great many people away, a large concourse gathered to pay thev respects to Mr. Young, who for many years has held a prominent place in the The Plebiscite! social and industrial life of the city as It is settled at last, overwhelmingly settled, that Hawaii does not want prowell as in his church. on �10 hibition. But is it settled right ? ()ther prohibitionists are asking this question. It is one of the evidences that such matters never arc settled until they are settled right. For the real issue does not hinge on mere prohibition. That may or may not be the best method of meeting the greatest problem of modern times. Honest men differ as to the metb od of tackling the problem, but they agree as to the need of tackling it. And the need will never be absent until it is tackled for a throw-down. And therefore the problem cannot be kept out of politics. Not the problem of how prohibition can be secured, but the problem of how the saloon evil can be effectively minimized. Does any political party suppose that the two thousand men who voted for prohibition are not to be reckoned with at the polls? Is the saloon element going to control party nominations in the face of the fact that two thousand prohibitionists probably hold the balance of power in any election that may be held? Are these tinpiirchasable. unterrified two thousand, so innocent and forgetful as to believe that friends of the saloon in the Legislature will keep this question out of men than politics? Why Was It? Each man has his own explanation why prohibition was so signally defeated at the recent plebiscite; but one man's explanation does not satisfy the other man. Doubtless many influences account for the result. It is well that we should consider some of them. 1. The liquor interest is a strongly intrenched one. Its very existence was at stake. Hence it was compactly organized, and its campaign was pressed without scruple, and at no limit of expense, and with a master-hand in control. That in itself was a mortgage on victory. 2. The anti-saloon element was divided, some of the natural leaders in such a contest being publicly opposed to prohibition, others of the leaders being absent from the country, while the rank and file of prohibition voters took but scant part in any practical effort to win the day. That meant a mortgage on defeat. 3. Nearly four thousand registered voters did not go to the jxills. It is quite improbable that the saloon interests overlooked any of these whom it had the slightest hope of inducing to vote "No." It is altogether probable, judging on general principle, and with the experience gained in investigations elsewhere, that these men would have voted "Yes" had they been persuaded to vote at all. 4. Without wishing to criticwe«4hc- policy adopted by the prohibition committee, it should be said that the system of employing numerous runners to get out THE FRIEND the vote is so established in Hawaiian elections that the practical abandonment of the system by the committee undoubtedly spelled defeat to the extent of several thousand votes. 5. Political considerations compromised the situation in no small degree. The date of the plebiscite was unfortunate inasmuch as it precipitated the election just as the political parties were getting their organizations to work. Men desirous of political preferment wore afraid to meet the prohibition issue squarely on its merits. These conditions were favorable to the organized force in politics that is al- August. 1910 is not only to show the results of mission enterprise in the more direct evidences found in church buildings and statistics, but in the no less important features of a progressive community that have been born out of missionary enterprise.

There was unquestionably the survival of an old prejudice against prohibition instilled in the hearts of the people by the course of kings who forbade liquor Id their subjects while they used it themselves. ()nce the common people had prohibition against their wish. Now that the choice lay with themselves they refused to put themselves back into what seemed (o them like the class slavery of other days. 7.

And 1 lawaii wants no cross opposite the prohibition "Yes." l >. The question voted on was confusing. The question reiterated through the campaign was: "Do you want sal<x>ns?" "No," said our prohibition orators. So when the voters actually came to the polls, who knows how many voted "No" when their conviction called for a "Yes" vote? 10. Finally the evasive course of Prince Ktthio doubtless affected the result unfavorably for prohibition. We do not believe the question was decided on its merits. The majority, however, was such a decisive one that antisaloon men must now look in other directions for the effective curbing of the saloon evil. The World in Boston. Al last Hawaii has been assigned space in the exhibit hall of the great Missionary Exposition that is to he held in Boston in April, 1911. Now let every one interested contribute by suggestion and otherwise to make Hawaii's display a marked feature in the exposition. Among the things already suggested are relief maps of the Islands, models of Hawaiian fish, articles of furniture made of Hawaiian woods, lava specimens, oil paintings and photographs, Hawaiian curios, school displays, moving picture films, etc. The idea of the exposition Educational Advance F. W. DAMON Advance in the Mid-Pacific Institute. Steady advance has been made during the past year towards a fuller realization of this educational undertaking. Already has the girls' department of the Institute. Kawaiahao Seminary, rounded out two successful years of its history as a part of this new educational scheme. With the opening of the fall term, beginning September 12th, it is hoped that the boys' department, Mills School, will be definitely placed in its new and attractive home on the tine school campus in Manoa Valley, ready to enter upon what its friends trust will prove to be, with God's blessing, a long and fruitful career of useful and beneficent work. The spacious and imposing school hall, which is designed for the use of this latter department, is now rapidly approaching completion. Uninterruptedly for the past two years have large companies of workmen been engaged upon its construction. It is one of the largest buildings ever reared in the Territory and it is felt that it will be seen to be well adapted for the end for which it lias been planned. Those who have had charge of the work have been especially favored during the period of its construction by the fine weather which has prevailed, and by the quiet and temperate spirit which has characterized the scores of workmen, of different nationalities who have been engaged upon the building. In the basement are the workshops, laundry, baths, shower and tub, and all modern sanitary appliances. On the first floor are the dining room, recitation rooms, reception rooms, library and reading room. On the second floor are the sleeping nxjins for the teachers and the older boys, each boy having a separate room, and the magnificent assembly hall. On the third floor are the large dormitories, where the �August. 1910 THE FRIEND. smaller l>oys are under the special care of languages has l>een given throughout the the matron.

With the Mid-Pacific Institute in Manoa are the new playgrounds we hope to keep wholly free from debt, owing to the their physical development on a par with large-hearted and open-handed generosity of noble friends of this educational undertaking. An important beginning has been made in the line of endowment but it is but a beginning and there now arises with unmistakable emphasis the demand for its further development. Relations between the Mid-Pacific Institute, which has already taken over the Mills Institute, with certain other affiliated schools, namely, the Japanese boarding school and the Korean mission school ( Methodist) have been of the very pleasantest nature during the past year. From both these schools it is expected that a number of students will enter the Mid-Pacific Institute in September. A delightful evidence of the kindly feeling existing was seen in the union picnic, which took place in June, at which some two hundred persons were present in Manoa. A grand tour of the school grounds was made; the farm, in its different departments duly inspected ; the athletic field visited, after which the large company gathered in the splendid assembly hall of the boys' building, where interesting exercises were belli in English, Chinese. Japanese and Korean. Grandly did the voices of this student band sing in full chorus. "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Mow." thus fittingly acknowledging the divine source from which this new schoolhouse, with all its possibilities of helpfulness and inspiration, has come to them.

The new teachers who are to come in September are Miss Stambaugh, Miss Faust, Miss Hamilton, for grade work; Miss (loold for the sewing department, and Miss Wintie for music. Miss Ting will assist in the sewing department. Applications are coining in for next year. There is every indication that the school will be as large, if not larger than ii has been this year. Mills School and Mills Institute. Mills school is now the legal appelation of the boys' department of the MidPacific Institute. Mills Institute, after a history of some eighteen years has been merged in this new educational undertaking. Already the pleasant schoolhouse in Chaplain lane, which for so many years has been a busy center of youthful life, has closed its doors and as an independent institution has become a memory of the past. It is, however, a beautiful and helpful memory to those who have come under its influence. In IH( >2 six Chinese boys found hjere a home, and since that day there have been hundreds who have reason to remember through life the blessing it has been to them and to whom the "old school" will bt ever dear. God grant that its mottoes "Onward and Upward," may ever find an echo in their lives, and its ideals ever be to them a guide and inspiration! Mr. Merrill reports a registration in Mills Institute for the year ending June 30th, 1910, of "one hundred and thirtyseven (137)" students. Of these eightyone (81) were in the boarding department and fifty-six (56) in the day department.

The board of managers will find many matters calling for their earnest consideration in the conduct of the affairs of this school. The work, however, is one worthy of their best effort. The questions which will arise as to die care of the different races in the school, with their strong national feelings and prejudices, rivalries and temperamental peculiarities, will be many and insistent. The problems with reference to the food supply and its preparation for so varied a household will not be slight. The development of certain lines of industrial and agricultural pursuits will demand their attention, while financial responsibilities will be great and constant.

March 11. Again we entered our own hemisphere. We have this day special occasion to acknowledge the kind providence of (iod. About 1 o'clock p. m. there was a calm, and several of the brethren and some others, having been denied the privilege many weeks, allowed themselves to enjoy the pleasant and healthful exercise of bathing in the ocean. Not long after they were safely out, while one of the sailors was employed in painting the bowsprit, with his feet in the water, a common sized shark was seen to approach him. Had he not been seasonably warned to avoid the monster he might have lost his limb, if not his life. The shark then played or rather raved around the brig with the boldness and fierceness of a hungry tiger. Ry the dexterity of George P. Tamosee and one of the mates a snare was fixed upon him. Then flouncing like a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke, he seized with violence the end of a long pole, and though it broke many of his front teeth, he held fast until by the pole and ropes he was drawn on board. The mingled emotions in our company arising from a sense of danger escaped by the gracious interposition of our divine and strong deliverer, evidenced by tears and congratulations, cannot easily be described. On opening the shark, the men found a porcupine fish, and a large beef bone which had been thrown overboard by the cook at the time the brethren were bathing, so that he could not have been far distant at that time. FALLING OVERBOARD OF MR. WHITNEY. March 27. It is with peculiar emotions of adoring gratitude that we acknowledge the distinguishing goodness of God, seasonably interposed for our deliverance this day. While Rrother Whitney was assisting in painting the outside of the vessel, which he considered not only as pleasant and profitable, but needful exercise, the rope by which he held with one hand gave way and let him fall from a temporary scaffold into the sea. His weight and the force of the ship entirely broke his hold from the rope and left him astern calling for help. Captain B's orders were promptly executed, and the brig, though under full sail at the rate of six or seven knots an hour, was "hove to" in less than five minutes anil stopped sailing. In the meantime Brother W.. whose perfect self-]x>sscssion and skill in swimming enabled him successfully to buffet the waves after one or two had broke over him, happily gained a small bench which had been providentially carried on deck a few minutes before and was thrown overboard to serve him as a temporary buoy. On this he was easily sustained after it had once or twice deceived him by rolling, though his strength was considerably exhausted. Never before did the mission family know how much they loved him. In five minutes more the boat was cleared away and let down and sent to his relief, which reached him in about five minutes at a distance perhaps of 1-6 of a mile. Refore the boat set off he raised his hat and waved it. lest his anxious wife should be too much disturbed, and then composed himself to prayer; while many hearts on board were in this soultrying hour lifted up to God in fervent petition that he would spare his life for his appointed work among the Gentiles Not far from 20 minutes after he fell, by the blessing of Him who had said "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee," he was safely returned and joyfully welcomed on board with many tears, and with thanksgiving to our strong deliverer who saved the sinking Peter, and who can with equal ease deliver those who trust in him from the waves and from the monsters of the deep, and from ungodly men.

We are much pleased, not to say delighted, with the scene, and long to be on shore. (4 o'clock p. m.) Having turned the northern extremity of 0„ Capt. B, this afternoon sent oft a boat to make inquiries respecting the king, etc. Mr. Hunnewell, a mate, Tho. fiopoo, J. Honoree, and others, went nearly to the shore and fell in with 10 or 12 native fishermen in their canoes, who readily gave the important information that the aged King Kamehameha is dead—that Rehoreeho, his son, succeeds him—that the images of bis gods are burned —that the men eat with the women in all the islands—that one chief only was killed in settling the affairs of government, and he for refusing to destroy his gods—that Reehoreeho, the young king, and Kimokoo. the first chief, sometimes called Billy Rett, both reside at Owhyhce. If these are facts they are interesting facts, and seem to show that Christ is overturning in order to take possession, and that these islands are waiting for his law, while the old and decaying pillars of idolatry are falling to the ground. The moment seems favorable for the introduction of Christianity and customs of civilized life. THE BISHOP FAMILY. By Mrs. S. E. Bishop. Rev. Artemas Bishop and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards Bishop, were members of the first reinforcement of the Sandwich Islands Mission. They arrived at Kailua after a six months' voyage from America in April, 1X23. Mrs. Bishop was warmly welcomed by her old friend, Mrs. Lucy Thurston, who had not heard that she was coming to the Islands. They proceeded to Honolulu and afterwards to Kauai where they spent a short time. They were soon permanently stationed tit Kailua, associates of the Thurstons. They immediately began active work among the people, who received them kindly. The chiefs Kuakini and Kapiolani welcomed them cordially and often visited them in their home. Mrs. Bishop's health failed and after a long and painful illness she died in 1828. This was the first death in the mission circle, and elicited sympathy from the natives, by whom she was much beloved. Her grave may still be seen in Kailua churchyard. She left two children, Jane Fmzabeth, aged two, and Sereuo, a babe of one year old. Kind friends shared with the bereaved father the care of the little ones. In December, 1828 Mr. Rishop married Miss Delia Stone, one of the four �August, 1910 single ladies who had joined the mission that year. Thus the family were again united in a home. The home is thus described in a letter to a friend: "Our house is thatched with very long leaves of a certain tree which grows in this country. There are no floors, but the rooms are spread with large mats made of the same material as the thatch. The mats are very neat when new but they soon become dirty and cannot be easily washed. The house does not have windows, but blinds. The weather is always warm here, so that it never snows as it does in New York." In IK3O Mr. Bishop built a more convenient house. This was of stone, with comfortable rooms and accommodations for the family and a separate building for a cook house. This is still intact, as you till see at the present time—also the heavy stone wall which surrounded the premises. The social life between the Bishop and Thurston families was very congenial. The children made daily trips back and forth, both using the same school books. Mrs. Bishop spent many hours teaching in the native schools, and in guiding and directing the native women. But the education of her own children was not neglected. They rose at four o'clock in the morning, that this might be accomplished. With the dim light of a whale oil lamp they poured over their books. Their efforts were so successful that when Elizabeth and Sereno went back East, at the age of thirteen, they were in advance of the children of their own age. Mr. Bishop spent much of his time in the work of translating the P.ible, and in preparing other literature for the natives. The proportion of the Rible translated by him was about nine and a half books. Mr. Rishop removed to Ewa, on Oahu in 1836, as pastor of that large and flourishing church. There was much interest at the time of the great revivals, when, standing in the door of the church, he would address those inside and also hundreds of eager listeners on the outside. Mr. Rishop remained at Ewa until failing strength permitted him no longer to minister to the church. He then moved to Honolulu, passing his last years in quiet Nuuatui Valley. He died Dec. 18, 1871.

The first edition of Mr. Burnham's catechism is freely distributed, through the kindness of Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, who for a long time, has desired something of the sort for the education of our young people. Our Young People �As conducted at present many of. the methods are out of date and need reformation. The six departments—Primary, adult, teacher training, home, temperance and missionary, are not well organized on all the islands, and very little is being done in some of these departments among the Hawaiian-speaking schools. The reasons for this are not hard to see. There is little in the line of literature for the schools conducted in Hawaiian and there is no way for some of the heads of departments to spread abroad their ideas among the people of all races here. Moreover, the chairmen of the work cannot accomplish much unless they secure sub-chairmen for the different islands. The efficiency of department work depends upon the faithfulness of the island leaders and district workers. In spite of all the barriers, progress is being made along the lines of approved Sunday school work. Many schools are doing splendidly. The weakness of the work is in its failure to provide proper support for the weaker schools, not financial but personal visitation and letters of encouragement and literature of the right kind and helpful county institutes at the time of the semi-annual church gatherings. It is true that the teacher training department is deriving support from the various island schools or institutes for ministers. If the ministers who are being instructed in new methods of work and improved systems of study, will only gather about them their teachers and give them the benefit of their new ideas and knowledge, then the problem will be solved, at least partially. The greatest work that the ministers may do in some places is in training their teachers and leading classes of young people to become teachers and workers. The home department is going forward in many localities, Oahu and Maui being perhaps in the front rank. The primary department is not well organized, neither are the adult, temperance and missionary. These last two subjects are usually presented adequately in the church services which are generally attended by the majority of the school pupils. During the recent campaign preceding the plebiscite, the subject of temperance was a very live one before the schools. A great deal of educational work in this subject has been done this year in Hawaii nei. The subject of missions is not presented very strongly in some schools, although an appeal is made for funds for work abroad, on the mainland and in the islands. It is in instruction and information in mission work among the peoples of foreign lands that we are weak. Can we not do something to arouse enthusiasm on this subject in our 15 THE FRIEND. August, 1910 island schools? We should pray more for missions in our prayers before the pupils, we should present the subject of mission work definitely, giving specific information that will interest the pupils, we should have missionary books in our school libraries, and encourage gifts to mission work abroad at home. The adult department has some problems jxculiar to these islands, and the systems that prevail in other lands may Among the Hanot be worked here. waiians there are adult classes, many of whom are doing excellent work. There is little organized work such as is being urged Upon us constantly by the officials of the International Association. There is a future for organized work along all the lines of the mainland work, but it will take much time and patience to put into operation the features that are desirable. A Sunday School Rally. On Sunday afternoon, July 24, there was a large parade and rally of the Sunday schools of Central Maui and parts of East and West Maui. Special trains brought the schools of Makawao, Pauwela, Paia, Spreckelsville, Puunene and Kahului to Wailuku, where they were met by a great gathering of the schools of Waikapu, Waihee and Wailuku. After the line of parade had been formed and banners given out to the paraders. the county band started a march, and the procession made its way to the green in front of the town hall. Here speeches were made by Messrs. Raldwin, White. Turner and Kalua. and rousing temperance songs were sung. It was a most successful affair, and gave evidence of the interest taken by the Sunday schools of Maui in the plebiscite. There were over five hundred in line and nearly a thousand at the rally. existing international agencies for the purpose of limiting the armaments of the nations of the world by international agreement, and of constituting the combined navies of the world an international force for the preservation of universal peace, and to consider and report upon any other means to diminish the expenditures of government for military purposes and to lessen the probabilities of war, THE FEDERATION OF THE WORLD. HAMILTON HOLT, Managing Editor the Independent. The foreign relations committee has just reported back favorably to the House of Representatives a bill bearing the name of Congressman Bennett of New York, providing for the appointment of a commission "to consider the expediency of utilizing existing international agencies for the purpose of limiting the armaments of the nations of the world by international agreement, and "Where is the Sunday School Lesson?" You can have It right in front of you, on the wall JOINT RESOLUTION To authorize the appointment of a commission in relation to universal peace: (House Joint Resolution 223 was fav- orably reported in behalf of the commitMr. Bennett on June 4th, and passed June 20, 1910.) Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uinited States of America in Congress assembled, that a commission of five members be appointed by the President of the United States to consider the expediency of utilizing I tee by Hawaiian Board Book Rooms 60 Cents �of constituting the combined navies of the world an international force for the preservation of universal peace." This bill is a ways and means measure to bring about a world federation, limited to the maintenance of peace, so that our recommendations to the Third Hague Conference of 1915 may be well considered and far-reaching. It is indorsed by the New York Peace Society, the International School of Peace of Boston, and the New England Arbitration and Peace Congress held at Hartford, Conn., on May 11. If passed it will be the first time in history that a government has officially recognized that the true philosophy of the peace movement requires world federation as a prerequisite for universal peace. In his famous essay Perpetual Peace published in 1795. Emanuel Kant declared that we can never have universal peace until the world is politically organized, and it will never be possible to organize the world [>olitically until the majority of the nations have a representative form of government. At last all the IX'oples of the world have achieved in some measure representative government. Russia has its Duma; China has announced that shortly it will promulgate a constitution, while Turkey and Persia have each just gone through the throes of revolution and emerged with a If Kant's philovigorous parliament. sophy is sound, therefore, the world is at last ready for world organization and universal peace. The only two powers that ever have or ever can govern human beings are force and reason—war and law. If we do not have the one we must have the other. The problem before the world is how to decrease the area of war and increase the area of law until war vanishes and law envelopes the world. At the present moment the world is organized into fifty-nine nations claiming independence and within their territories—nominally at least—organization, law and l>eace prevail. We have already learned to substitute law for war in cities and states, and even up to the fifty-nine nations; but in that international realm over and above each nation in which each nation is equally sovereign, the only way at the present moment for a nation to secure its rights is by the use of force. August. 1910. THE FRIEND. 16 Force, therefore, or war, as it is called when exerted by a nation against another nation, is at present the only legal and final method of settling international differences. In other words the nations are in that stage of civilization today where without a qualm they claim the right to settle their disputes in a manner they would put their own subjects to death for imitating. The peace movement, therefore, is nothing but the process of substituting law for war. Rut how can we best create law in the international realm. Certainly not by the cumbrous methods of the present. Today there is no such things as a code of international law which is binding on the nations. What passes under the name of international law is simply a series of arguments, maxims, precedents and opinions. It is the work, not of legislators, but of scholars. The nations are at perfect liberty to accept it or reject il as they wish. Before we can have 'i real international law we must have behind it some conscious political organization to give it sanction and validity, and that implies a federation of the world. The history of international law prestriking analogies to the history of private law. Likewise, the history of the organization of the "United Nations," which is to give sanction to international law, will correspond to the history of the organization of the thirteen American colonies into the United sents States, therefore, furnishes the model for the United Nations. The Declaration of Independence foreshadows the declaration of interdependence The beginnings of world organization, however, have already taken place. In the Hague Court and the recurring Hague Conferences we see the germs of the international court and the parliament of man. The problem is how to develop these so that they will become the judicial and legislative departments of a ixjwerful world constitution, just as our Articles of confederation and Continental Congress developed into the present United States Constitution, which a century of storm and stress has not broken, and which still serves as a model to all the republics of the earth. A careful study of existing arbitration treaties and of the work of the first and second Hague Conferences shows that our international law is at the same stage of development as private law of about the tenth century, while the organization of the "United Nations" has reached the same stage of progress that our thirteen states did before the Constitutional Convention of 17K7. The problem, therefore, before the world is to perfect the Hague Courts and Conferences so that finally, if it be deemed necessary, we may even add ,1 world executive and thus create the united nations in the very image of the United States. The peace advocates from Perm and Kant and Hugo and Rurritt down to Hale and I'.artholdt and Carnegie have long realized that world federation is the key to peace and disarmament. Even Mr. Roosevelt in his remarkable Nobel peace address the other day at Christiania goes so far as to urge a "league of peace," to abolish war. paradoxically, by force, it" necessary. The governments themselves, however, have not yet officially recognized that world organization is the goal of international effort, though they have unconsciously and inevitably been driven much faster and farther along this path than they realize. The passage of the Bennet bill, however, will remedy this. The creation of a world federation commission would guarantee to our own people as well as to the peoples of the world that the United States is in earnest and ready to take the lead in the only practical and promising method of obtaining international peace. It seems the destiny of the United States to lead in the peace movement. The United States is the world in miniature. It is a demonstration that all the races of the world can live in peace under one government and its chief value to civilization is a demonstration of what this form of government is. We have settled more disputes by arbitration than any other nation. In all history no men have done more to spread the gospel of peace than the two Pennsylvanians, William Perm and Benjamin Franklin. David Low Dodge of New York in 1815 founded the first peace society of the world. Two generations ago Elihit Rttrritt and a dozen others in New York and New England went up and down this country, and even over to Europe, urging �August, 1910 THE and prophesying the formation of an international court which Rurritt declared when it came into existence "would constitute the highest court of appeals this side the bar of eternal justice." Coming down to more recent times it is probably a fact that the late Frederick W. I lolls of New York had more to do with the establishment of the Hague Court than anyone else, while Mr. Carnegie has given it a palate in which it shall hereafter sit. The United States tix>k the first case to the Hague Court that ever came before it, and the American minister at Venezuela sent the second case there, which brought all the great powers before its bar and established it in the estimation of civilization. Mr. Rartholdt was the first man who ever stood up in a national parliament and suggested turning the Hague Conferences into a real international parliament. Flihu Root planned the idea of having the Second Hague Conference create a world court modelled on the United States Supreme Court, and now Secretary Knox has announced its early establishment. President Roosevelt's Christiania address is nothing else than a 17 FRIEND plea for the federation of the world. Not since the "Great Design" of Henry IV. of France proposed in 1(>02, has one who has represented a great people ever promulgated so comprehensive a plan for universal peace. Mr. Taft says that if the Rennet bill becomes a law he will appoint Theodore Roosevelt as chairman of the commission. Does not the last sen tence of Mr. Roosevelt's address indicate that he would feel compelled to accept the honor? He says: "Rut the ruler or statesman who should bring about such a combination (league of peace) would have earned his place in history for all time and his title to the gratitude of all mankind." 11" the world federation commission is appointed by the United States government with Theodore R<x>sevelt as chairman, can anyone believe that the day will RESPOISS/BLE For those Ja|»nese Servants?

In closing the council he said: "I command you every one to go home, each to your own district, and destroy Office Expense every liquor still which you find. DistillPalama Settlement Portuguese Work Income ing and drinking liquor are tabu from Preachers' Training Fund this time forward." Tomo Then he ordered that the new council Wailuku Mission Wailuku Settlement house be torn down.

Will you have proitures $367.15 hibition instead of licensed saloons ? That » No. 7 is the question of Congress. Every registered voter has the chance to answer Yes or No. The liquor men say it is a missionary trick. They lie. They lie intentionally. If it be a missionary trick it is the wisest, kindest, timeliest trick that was ever played in this world. It brings the Hawaiian voter to the front, as a king in his own right and his own country, to speak his wish and have his wish about the betrayer, robber, murderer of his people. Trick or no trick, what will he say? The success of prohibition on the 26th of July will crown the Hawaiian voter, before the eyes of the American people, Kamehameha the Greatest. The failure of prohibition on the 26th of July will make this territory a "rich" man's government indeed, and send the Hawaiian voter shuffling into the jungle of graft politics, with the title of Kame hameha the Least, fast, lost. Kamehameha the Greatest will mark his ballot. YES. Kamehameha the Least will mark his ballot NO. J. G. W. * What Will the Hawaiian Voter Say? It is the business of the government the public health. The saloon the enemy the natural defenses against disease. It is the, best friend of cholera, pneumonia and tuberculosis. It actually causes 50 per cent of the insanity. It attacks children who are not yet born and murders millions in their infancy. One of the surgeons of the Red Cross Hospital in New York reports that he has made a study of two groups of families, one group having drinking habits and the other group abstaining. He is not a temperance lecturer, but a scientific student. He reports that in one group of ten families of drinking habits there were fifty-five children. Thirty died in infancy, three of heart disease, four were insane, seven were anaemic, eight were tuberculous, one had diabetes, three had very poor teeth, three had adenoids. Only four were normal. Of the total two were excellent in their studies, six were fair, and seventeen were deficient. In ten families of abstaining parents there were seventy children. Two died in infancy, two were neurotic and anaemic, to preserve betrays to �4 Wanted, a Definition. lous, sixty-four were norma.l In study, It is not probable that Honolulu likes fifty-six were excellent, ten were fair, prize fights less than it did a year or so only two were deficient. ago.

Congress neve laid a quesof such interest before the people of any territory as has now been presented to the people <>f Hawaii in the question of prohibition. We will not say that it is the last call, for the ruler and guide of nations is forbearing, and merciful, long-suffering even to the unthankful and unmindful. And the promiscuous sale of destructive alcohol poison is sure ere long to be prohibited by every nation for its own It is simply incredself-preservation. ible that the world of the enlightened future will regard with indifference the present condition of all who are frequent partakers of alcoholic drinks. But, says one, it is not promiscuous sale that is contended for. What we want is a license system that will prevent promiscuous sale and regulate the sale of healthful drinks. The Friend claims that the license system has had full trial for a century or two, and has proved a failure in every land where national and international commerce has sway. License to sell the seductive and destructive poison of alcoholic drinks is simply a permit issued by a government to certain ones in a community for their own financial profit to sell what brings ruin, misery, demoralization, or death to a large proportion of their customers. That the slightest benefit ever comes to one from the use oi alcoholic drinks as a beverage has yet The IT.l tion T to be shown. In vain we ask the advocates of the license system what benefit ever came to any human being from the habitual We drinking of alcoholic beverages. seen all our lives the deplorable results of dram-drinking, and today it is evident that the early extinction of a large portion of the Hawaiian people will ensue unless prohibitory legislation be enacted. Yet they are not alone in feeling the seduction and meeting the destruction of strong drink. have �To them who abstain the scripture s.iith: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the ants that tlieth by day ; nor for the pestilence that ualkcth in darkness; nor for the destruct on that wasteth at noonday."

It is doubtful whether half a dozen persons in the Islands have first-hand, or even realizing hearsay knowledge of the great work of I'. W. Rider, the apostle to the submerged in the bottom of Honolulu, where the Atherton family has built a settlement house, and provided for its maintenance, in which nightly this knightly man of faith preaches Jesus Christ the Savior of drunkards, the hope of hopeless wives and the lover of homeless and worse than homeless children. Grim business it is, too, preaching love and help and cleansing in the sag of Kakaako, where the brewery, two licensed saloons and fifteen or twenty "blind pigs" belie the love of God and man, and seem to prove the omnipotence of cruelty and dirt. Impossible for faith that breaks training, even for a day. Hut this man does it. and does it with a cheer. Salvation with a whine in it would be dead doctrine there. He believes it. That saves him and his meet ings. 1 le knows the saloon. He knows how to get away from it. I le has no illusions about ''personal liberty." He gives all. He wins. His wife goes the pace "Help somebody, and sing at your work, for God loves the world." In this most needy and disorderly section no policeman ventures save on call, and such as come on call get out again as soon as possible. The police court is part of Mr. Rider's parish. His recommendations to mercy are rarely disregarded, for he is as truthful as helpful, and as level-headed as he is kind. His word is as good as a bond with the magistrate. He is constantly up as cash bail for the down and out. Nothing much ails Kakaako but the drink—the drink and what goes with it. Naturally Mr. Rider hates the saloon, and in the present campaign for the plebiscite he is the busiest campaigner in the city. The searchlight of his stereopticon flashes the wounds of the body politic before the eyes of many audiences. The light is fearfully eloquent. Mr. Rider is one of a class of rescue workers numbering thousands in American cities —the Red Cross Society in the licensed pillage of the saloon. F'very man of them and every woman of them, In the lK'tter days is a prohibitionist. now drawing near their worth will be recorded and in the final accounting their reward is sure. J. G. W. with him and does not look back. His audience shows no cleavages of race, or creed, or trade. Twenty or more nationalities are regularly represented—cosmopolites of disaster. Age sits with knotted hands and wonders at his message. Fray- ed, ruined youth slips low in chair and listens; and pretty children pitch the high treble of infinite pathos into the songs. It is terrible—and beautiful. They call him "Father." and Mrs. Rider "Mother," who in turn call them by their given names. "Who struck you, Susie?" "Father, let me come in ; Jim is drunk and says he will kill me." "Mother, can you give me something to feed the baby? Joe gets seven dollars a week and gievs me two, but has just taken that away." These are scraps of the spiritual conversation of this diocese. The meetings are but the high tide of the day's work, before the life of the district turns back to the Magoon block, the "low water" of home life in the city. The work of faith and labor of love never shut down. The Bishop of Kakaako rules by riirht of apostolic success. The only ritual is P.W. RIDER The Missionary Fathers of Hawaii An Address Delivered at the lughty- eighth Annual Conference of the Hawaiiian Evangelical Association at Kailua, Line 26, 1«)10. Fathers landed on the shores of New England. In 1820 the Missionary fathers landed on the shores of Hawaii.

I �July. 1910. 'The success of this favored mission to Hawaii has been an inspiration to the missionaries in every benighted land for the past half century. The power of the Gospel to purify, elevate and transform individuals, and races of men, was never better manifested. Tlie mission to Hawaii was a democratic body, swayed in some measure by directions transmitted by mails brought by sailing ships via Cape Horn. The immense distance from the officers of the American Board necessitated the committal of many questions to the vote of the mission as given at the annual general meeting. Very many weighty matters involving the location of families and the disposition of forces, were settled by vote of the mission, which body was distinguished for its unity, forbearance, and brotherly kindness. The great success of the mission in reducing the language to writing may be noted. A kind providence guided to the adoption of the Italian sounds in the use of the vowels, a, c, i, o, v, and of the consonants h, k, 1, m, n, p. w. With these twelve letters all the sounds of the Hawaiian language were so accurately represented that an adult could learn to read in a few days. The people were astounded and delighted to find that they thtmselves could acquire the power to convey thought by writing. As a consequence we find that the nation learned to read in a day; their principle reading book being the Bible. A phenomenon unparalleled in history. 'This ability and eagerness to read was acquired in the schools established by the missionaries, and which laid the foundation for the present unsectarian system of government common schools. The lessons to be gained by us of today from the example and experience of the honored fathers, are many. In the first place, they were men of high ideals, unselfishly working for the enlightenment and uplift of the people around them. In the language of Paul to the Philippians, ''Pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." In them we see the unifying effect of a high ideal. This ideal we find expressed in the language of the missionary journalist of the voyage of the Thaddeus: "That work for the salvation of souls is the best work this side of heaven." Their successful career of spiritual and moral victory shows the guidance of the being who directed his followers to "Go" and teach all nations, and promised to be with them through all time. The mission to Hawaii took its rise in the thoughts of kindness to Opukahaia and his Hawaiian associates, found adrift, friendless, homeless and ignorant, THE FRIEND 7 these islands, and the books upon Hawaii which we now read were then unwritten. They were wholly unacquainted with the awakened care for the friendless strangers, then the purpose to impart the knowledge of God and of salvation to these waifs, and to their far distant countrymen. The Christians of America awoke to the long neglected duty of carrying the light of life to them that sat in darkness and in the shadow of death. This holy purpose sent forth the little company that embarked on the brig Thaddeus, and this same purpose in the hearts of those missionaries and their successors led up to the glorious success the record of which may now be read of ali men. Above all, the coming of the missionary Fathers to Hawaii was an act of triumphing faith. None of them had visited Central Union News eminent of the group, and but little of dangers and distress of a voyage in a crowded and very small craft. They knew nothing of the language or the govthe heathenism they were to encounter. Theirs was a venture upon an unknown career of great dangers, appalling discouragements ; an act of implicit faith. Like Abraham they went forth at the command of God, not knowing whither they went. Through faith they trusted God. and he failed them not. He was a present help in every time of need. Let us be followers of them even as they also were of Christ. cept Christ and start their college careers Iias avowed Christians all the more signi- ficant.

J* Annual Service of Music. Another feature that helped to make June 5, a "Red Letter Day" at Central Union was the inspiring service ot music given in the evening. We have had excellent music all the year but the choir outdid itself that evening. Solo parts were sung by Sunday. Miss Eva Lindeman, Good News Indeed. Miss Jesse McCormick, Miss Estelle Roe, , Mrs. E. A. Mott-Smith. Mrs. C. S. Wright, Mr. George A. Brown, Mr. Harold Clark, Mr. Philip Hall, Mr. C. S. Livingston and Mr. Arthur Wall. The choir was fortunate to have not only for the evening, but for a month past, the assistance of Miss Lindeman of San Francisco. Her magnificent soprano voice added very much to the effectiveness of the anthems and especially the duet, trio and semi-chorus, in which she took a leading part. It was unquestionably the finest musical service given in Central Union for The best piece of news that any church can have is to be able to tell of large numbers of her young people turning to Christ and applying for admission to church membership. Just this it is our privilege and joy to report. On Sunday, June 5, forty were received into church membership and all but four of these came on Confession of Faith. F"or several months past there has been evidence of a deep spiritual interest among the older scholars of the school. Our young people were made the subject many a year. Great credit is due Mr. Stanley Livof special prayer. The blessed results followed. The fact that a number of ingston, under whose able direction the these young people leave this summer to choir has been brought to its present enter colleges makes their decision to ac- 'high standard.

Mr. Richards was present at the organization of the movement three years ago and has been in intimate touch with it ever since. He could speak from first hand knowledge. His address was most interesting. We all felt that the time had come for the men of Honolulu to fall in line and take a definite part in this effort of the Christian men of America to evangelize the world in this generation.

The Association in the States has worked out an approved method of teaching English to foreigners. This method will be used in Honolulu.

Prohibition seems to be the only way to kill the snake. Whether it prohibits or not, it gives us a legal right to fight the saloon, which now has the legal right to defy us. Grant everything that has ever lieen said against prohibition and prohibition remains the one way of fighting saloons. The drinking men we have to work with would be saved from temptation were there no bar rixims, for they are not the sort that would seek blind pigs or import liquor. "Prohibition does not prohibit" is the word of an unthinking mind, deceived by a clever alliteration. This typewriter does not typewrite either, nor does my saw saw. But men that want to can make typewriters write and saws saw. The same with prohibition. Away with this foolish cry alxwt "does not prohibit." js What Next? At the last meeting of the Board of Directors a commission consisting of Messrs. W. A. Love, Ed. Towse. and F. D. Ixiwrey was appointed to study the report of Mr. John F.

'The accepted sketches are now in Mr. Ripley's hands in Oakland, and soon he will return to Honolulu with the final plans. We have preferred before building instead of after the plant is up. This is less expensive. But when the plans are shown the public will feel that our delays have been justified. We now feel certain that ground will be broken about the first of August. to do our thinking Jt Summer School. Summer classes in bookkeeping, short- hand, typewriting, and French are being conducted. Over 40 students are en- rolled. There is continual demand for educational work, hot weather or cool. The attendance at classes is good. New Members. * . An average of 30 members a month are joining the Association, pushing the membership over the 700 mark and arousing the ambition of the membership committee fo rhigher mathematics. This work is well organized .and has been for some years. New plans are being worked up for use just before and at the time of entering the new building. After our new plant is up and we have more to offer, ti will be hard for a young man to come to Honolulu and not be asked to join the Young Men's Christian Association. The limited number of ways and times in which a man can come to the city makes it possible to develop a scheme of locating practically all of them, through co-operation of baggage and hotel men. This is being planned. A membership of over 1000 in the new building is certain, and it will not be long till the new building is the great social center of young masculine Honolulu. Those who have invested money in this organization bought good stock. �THE 10 Range Lights By July. 1010 FRIEND JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D. In so far as I am responsible for the calling of the plebiscite or concerned about the result of it, my eggs are all in one basket. I bank on the Hawaiian voter. His good sense, patriotism and pride of race will see him safely through the whirlpool of corruption, flattery, deceit and detraction that makes the present campaign apparently so problematical. Being a tried and convicted malabini I admit that my knowledge of the people may be su|>erficial, and my judgment less reliable than that of one who came earlier. But at any rate. I stick to my opinion, and get encouragement by finding that it Improves with age. 'The feeling has grown u|>on me, even while my knowledge and my admiration of the remarkable group of white men in the lead of Island matters have increased. It is quite possible that I have exaggerated the immediate possibilities of the Hawaiians. and have done scant just'ce to the ''missionaries." Hut today after a good deal of very informing exexperience, my view remains unchanged. Our Hawaiian fellow citizens need and deserve our democratic, brotherly cooperation in the outworking of their own political development, rather than generous tfifts of money, churches, and exemption from responsibility. My knowledge of the Territory at first hand dates back ten years, and my only business here lias been the study of the |Kople, from the standpoint of a political prohibitionist. From the first I was more interested in the Hawaiians than the whites, because this is their country, there were more of them, they were plainly failing to grasp the greatest values to them in American progress, and the whites were no novelty, were better developed in selfishness and better trained in the manly art of self-defense. During my first visit to the Islands I got the impression that the attitude of the whites towards the Hawaiians combined too much loose criticism with too little co-operation, and although possibly it was none of my business, I resented it. This plebiscite is the Hawaiian people in a life and death struggle for a chance in the great future now opening to their own country. It is a mean heart that is not touched by it. It is a dirty hand that is rased against them. If the matter were merely a problem in finance. I should rather trust the whites. If it were a question of laborious application to an unpleasant undertaking, 1 should rather follow the Chinese or Portuguese. If it were a thing of fighting courage and selfsacrifice, the Japanese would be better; for in all these ways the Hawaiian has practically dropped out of the, race. But it is |x>litics—the one sphere where the Hawaiian still has the elements and implements of power, and a chance to get back into the game, even on the lines of former failure. He himself has raised the issue, although the initial action in C< ngress came from a tourist who had been stirred to action by the desperate plight of tlK' 1 lawaiian clientele of the saloon. The liquor business was and is doing as much harm relatively to the whites. But this is not so apparen tto the visitor, they are so few in comparison to the llaw.'.iians, and they carry their liquor better. Wliat caught the attention of Senator Johnson was the tragedy of the Hawaiian race losing its grip upon the lov- liest land on earth by the most pitiful of failure—drink. The Johnson Bill would have passed, and would have been enforced as a measure of mere humanity. But in the nick of time the Prince, embodying in himself and his office the history, the potentiality and the future of his race, stepped to the front and defeated it by demanding a test of the Hawaiian people. In effect his proposition was: We don't want to be saved by others. We want to save ourselves, and vindicate our twentieth century manhood and fitness for self-government. The joint resolution was coni|K>sed in the chambers of the Hawaiian delegate and passed in both houses as his measure. Then the Hawaiian Prohibition League was organized in Honolulu, of its own initiative, and it]K>n working plans of its own devising. When the convention of one hundred met to organize the People's Prohibition League, the Hawaiian members demanded a snapper on the end of the platform putting up to the Federal government the question of importation. The whites did not propose it, and a ma- �THE FRIEND. July. 1910. jority of them were opposed to it as being foreign to the issue raised by the joint resolution. But the action of the Hawaiians showed brains, conviction and political sense : and the whites fell in behind the men who had the best claim to lead and the votes. 'The striking feature of this campaign is. that the men whose )>olitical fortune is at stake, and who hold the voting power in their hands, are leading, and the sturdy, trained and dominating whites following. In this I think the conduct of the whites is worthy of all praise. With splendid and astonishing unanimity they waive their personal preferences and get in behind the Hawaiian advance, and if the white vote were in control the verdicl of the ballot would be banishment for the social traitor, the saloon. "wet" But will the Hawaiian voter stand the strain? The plebiscite campaign is no pink tea for ladies. It is a man's game and a hard one, and the Hawaiian must answer for himself. Brutal insolence and utter contempt of high manhood will spend unlimited money, and bestow unlimited jobs on the corruptible. The fake argument factory will run day and night.

If he wants to prove that a Hawaiian administration of the Territory can be bought, or fooled or defied, there again he is within his rights to vote that way. He will be told that without the license revenue, road work will cease. If he does not know now, that saloon money never built a rod of road in any country, it will be hard to teach him anything in economics. He will be warned of the tusks of the terrible blind pig.

He has only to look shows that the white sunlight of prohibition has covered half the continent in the last twenty years. His vote is his own, let him cast it as he will. But let him realize well, that the real question in the plebiscite is this: ARE THE HAWAIIAN VOTERS CAPAP.LF OF SELF-GO\*ERNMENT? A vote for prohibition answers "YES." A vote for the saloon says "NO." If the saloon wins in the plebiscite it wins by Hawaiian votes. And the Prince goes back to Washington to apologize for his people. '"So your people want saloons," will be said to the delegate. "What was the argument that convinced them?" What will he answer? What is the argument in favor of saloons? And the Hawaiian people will move forward to a lower place in national esteem. If the Hawaiian race votes against out in the States. at the map. which �prohibition, it votes against the old Hawaiian kings, against the light and knowledge of the law, and against the trend of the best sentiment of the civilized world, and drops out of sight as a serious factor in the development of the Territory. But if the ballots show a clear majority for prohibition. Hawaii will get the l>est and highest advertisement in the fact that she has had in all the years.

There are a great many difficulties at first, for brewers and liquor dealers to get a high license law in working order, but after a year or two you will certainly find it to your advantage over prohibition.

One phase of Christian work in these islands, that of its cosmopolitan character, is often remarked upon by visitors from other lands. A striking illustration of this was the concert give nin the kahului Union Church on Saturday even4th. for the purpose <>f providing ing funds for the traveling expenses of the delegates of the Sunday School and the Christian Endeavor Society to the June annual meeting at Kailua. In the audience were Hawaiians, Japanese. Russians. Portuguese. Filipinos, AngloSaxons. Porto Ricans, and representatives of other races. 'The program contained selections from the Hawaiian musical club of Wailuku. a quartet from Kahuhll, a double quartet from Waihee and a Filipino quartet from Waihee. 'The Filipinos were the special feature of the program, and much interest was manifested in hearing their quaint music and listening to their dramatic representations of some romantic incidents in Filipino history. It will surprise some of our readers when they hear that there is a growing C. F. society at Waihee composed of more than twenty-five of our brown brothers who join with their cousins of these islands of the sea in their mutual Christian fellowship. It is a splendid example of what brotherhood should mean to us all here. A STEP FORWARD. A practical question often arises in �the minds of some thinking men as they are looking forward to the time when liquor shall no longer be sold at the bar. Where shall the young men enjoy their evenings? What substitute to the saloons are Christian men and women expecting to provide for men without any home relations? It seems to many of us that a large advance will be made in the solution of all social problems when places are provided for men and Im>\s where they may find satisfaction for their social cravings in an orderly, attractive and uplifting way. In taking away the saloons either by the act of the License Commissioners as demanded by public protest or else by a general prohibition law. we are removing the socalled "Poor Men's Club." We are depriving him of a chance to meet with his friends in a social way and have a good time, so say the advocates of the saloons who maintain that there is need for the saloon as a place for the men to find social felolwship. What a challenge this is to all Christian men to provide places that will satisfy the natural cravings of men for society, but without the degenerating influences of the saloons! How can you expect the young fellows of our towns and villages to keep straight and sober and clean unless you furnish attractive centers for clean amusement and healthy recreation that will deprive the saloons of an excuse for existence? With these and similar thoughts in mind, some of the leading men of the seaport town of Kahului have been working on B plan to establish a club for young men that will give them a real home in the evenings, a place where they may read ami write and play games of various kinds and talk with their friends, and have some contests in the gymnasium or bowling alley or on the pool table. A building formerly used as a garage has been leased for the remainder of the year and furniture has already been installed and improvements made, so that the boys and men of this town are enjoying the privileges and pleasures which the club affords. In its roll of about seventy members may be noticed representatives of almost every race living in Kahului, while there are railroad employes, stevedores, store clerks and others among its members. It is expected that the club will fill a long-felt want in the community and that its success as a means for the social and moral uplift of the men of the town will lie unmeasured. The movement has been identified with the Union Church, for its meetings thus far have been held in the church, its president is the pastor of the church, and practically all the members of the executive committee of the church are enthusiastic members of the club. 13 THE FRIEND.

I^lo It is wise for the church to be identified with all such movements that are for the improvement of a community, else why should the church have an excuse for living? \\ HAWAIIAN "CONEY ISLAND." In order to raise money to pay off a debt, the Ladies' Aid Scxiety of Kahului, assisted by several members of the Ye ung Men's Club, gave a representation of "Coney Island" on the lawn adjoining the Kahului Store, on Saturday evening. June 18th. It was an unqualified success, socially, artistically, and The various Ixioths and financially, places of amusement were prettily decorated and the charge of admission was low enough ty enable each one to have a satisfactory time. There was a larg': number present from Paia, Makawao, rlamakuapoko, Puunene, Wailuku and places, and each person seeni'.'d to have a very good time. 'The receipts toother taled the large sum of $.V5.00. 'This will enable the ladies to pay off their debt, anil will also furnish the Voting Men's Club with a substantial sum for the needs of the club house. It is pr >posed to make this institution an annual affair, for the joint benefit of the Ladies' Aid Society and the Young Men's Club. A MORAL MOVEMENT. The forces that make for sobriety and order have not Ik-cii asleep on Maui tin past few weeks, for there has been going on a battle against the saloons of the island, even if the sound of the warfare has not been heard from afar. At the public meeting of the Board of License Commissioners of Maui County there were presented protests from the residents of Lahaina against the issuance of a wholesale license to a Japanese, from residents of Wailuku against retail licenses, from voters of Puunene, Kahului and Spreckelsville against the issuance of any retail licenses in the precinct, from residents of Makawao against the Makawao saloon. There were five wholesale applications and eleven retail, a total of sixteen. Although this is far from what we would have, it is nevertheless an improvement over the days before the advent of the License Commission. At that time there were fortyfive licenses. This number was immediately reduced to twenty-two and this has been further cut down, with bright prospects that the number of licenses will Ik' steadily reduced if public opinion demands it. What is needed here as elsewhere is a strong sense of moral duty and the willingness to sacrifice personal feeling for the welfare of the largest number. It is clear that the cause of temperance is stronger today than ever before and that the tone of morality is rising higher and higher. Hawaii Cousins (Continued from June Friend.)

Address Delivered to the Class of 1910, Oahu College, June 18. By. HON. W. R. CASTLE. This is the celebration of your success. You have been graduated. You are entitled to your diploma, because it has been earned. This evening marks an epoch in your life. It is a corner turned. Another round of the ladder has been mounted. A little clearer vision is obtained of the world. You have discovered —and a little thrill comes with the discovery—that, for some reason, your understanding of life is better. The recent past bad its discouragements. Sometimes perhaps you even thought of abandoning the course. There were headaches and heartburnings and weary nights now and then. It is not unlikely that you thought, and perhaps thought aloud. "'The game is not worth the candle!" You saw the laborer on the road spreading rock, earning his dollar or more a day, acting as though he were perfectly happy anil contented; the stevedore on the wharf sweating under his burden, but still quite content, because he too was earning a good wage. You could not help noticing how full of jollity and contentment was the seller of leis, and you knew from appearances that she was making enough for her sup|x>rt and that of her family, and doing it in a very pleasant way. so that others got pleasure out of her work and were glad to buy her beautiful flowers. Even the Chinaman up to his hips, almost, in the mud of the rice patch looked content. So did the banana-grower as he cut the great bunches of fruit, and, wrapping them in their cozy blankets of leaves, knocked off the centipede which came out and bit his hand. Even that little discouragement didn't turn him from his purpose to raise and offer for sale his best, so that he might get the highest price. If you were a little depressed when you went out, Punahou looked rather more dull on your return, and your books with the mysterious inside which you were content to conquer, looked, at "What's the use!" most, repugnant. you may have cried. "Why should I bother to find out why Walter Scott was better than somebody else in his thoughts or his way of expressing them? What do I care about Johnson's life! Can't see what he accomplished of much value to me! What on earth is the use of digging at the I.atin to find out about a Julius Caesar built which has What earthly use in trying to find out which smiled sweetest —Dido or Aenaeas! and all in bridge long ago gone to smash! �July, 1910. Latin, too!" "And if anybody can tell why X should equal anything but a sawhorse, I'd like to know why!" Even if these were not your exact remarks, you will have to confess that what you did say or think was not much wiser. However, the result shows that you did not yield to discouragement. You got at least your 18 points, and perhaps some to spare. Sometimes, as the hard toil went on, as the rules were mastered, as things aligned themselves, the reason why things occurred: why nations rose, became great and powerful, then fell and passed into the strange realm of oblivion, grew clearer. 'There has been a little lifting of the veil, and the mental vision has for a moment caught sight of the wonders within. These have been the moments of uplift, where all the toil, the drudgery and trouble l»ave faded away and seemed as nothing in the presence of what might be found beyond With your graduation has come a feeling of satisfaction, almost of relief, perYou are possibly satisfied with haps. the accomplishment. Maybe it looks to you like the rounding out and completion of your education. But is it your Ultima Tliule? Is there "nothing more beyond?" Are all of your ambitions satisfied, now that you have earned this little certificate? What test will you apply so that you may decide this question? Perhaps you think of going at once into business. What business? You cannot go into the smithy and make horsehsoes. 'That's good business, but you haven't learned it, nor can you wield the hammer and, from the shapeless iron produce things of beauty and utility, for the same reason. If you take the saw, the plane and the chisel, you know that you can only spoil goixl material, because of your lack of preparation. The same is true of every other skilled trade. With the blacksmith you might pump the bellows; with the carpenter, sit on the Ixiard, holding it in place while some one who knew how, shaped and dressed it for use and beauty. Would you become a seller of goods, wares and merchandise? You will find that the thrifty trader will engage you for a pittance to sweep out the store, run errands, do odd jobs, and complain that he loses money because you don't know how. Do you remember the pictures in a recent "Life" entitled "Twenty years after;" in which you sec, first, the proud possessor of a diploma, then a rather disappointed man sitting on a bench driving shoe pegs? Pretty severe: but isn't it sometimes correct? Perhaps the bar, medicine or the pulpit look attractive: or you would satisfy the longings of your soul to create beautiful things, and architecture, sculpture, or painting seem fitted to give the avenues best THE FRIEND an outlet to these soul desires. Here you find at once that a long, hard, wearisome aprrill training must first be had. And none of these things can you do. You turn your mind to many other of the arts which go to make up the complex life of our civilization, and find that in none are you ready, that each requires practice, and some are unattain- able without special preparation. After learning all this, perhaps you will have a renewal of your old discouragements. Some one once said: '"If you can't do But at anything else, teach school!" least yon have learned to know how foolish was that remark ; for your memory tells you that your teachers could not have instructed you in the courses you have taken without careful and special training. You may feel that while doing other things you might read and cram your mind with sufficient knowledge for all purposes. A young man once adopted this praiseworthy course, and. instead of going to school, bought an encyclopdedia, which he proceeded to read in course. At first his friends were astonished at the extent of his information, but finally began to observe that the subjects of his discourses were all catalogued alphabetically and that he was silent when these subjects got down to 1. m. n. etc. He also failed in practical applications of his information, till respect for his learning changed to amusement an ! ridicule. But do not mistake me. Never would decry attempts at self-education, where I school life is not possible or practicable. History abounds with stories of the lives and accomplishments of men who had school education only to the most limited extent; yet who were successful in the highest sense. Who will say that the immortal Lincoln failed in any respect because he had almost no schooling? He felt and acknowledged his shortcomings because of that great lack. Yet it cannot be said in the truest sense that he was uneducated. His was a mind which absorbed and assimilated everything which came. The things which trained and educated him would have slipjK'd from the minds of most men without leaving any impression. The great Napoleon was educated in the best schools, but there is no doubt that with him the education produced far greater results than with most men. It seems unnecessary to say that men's minds differ as widely as black from white, yet that is why the same education It is nroduces such different results. this immense variation in minds which makes a successful few and the mediocre many. But even the genius, who stands alone because of his mental power, must he trained if he would attain the highest Colburn, who possessed the success. most wonderful capacity for mathema- 15 tics, and astonished those who witnessed his feats, accomplished nothing because he was untrained. Had Aaron Burr yielded to discipline and training, had he subjected his powerful mind to the government of law, his name, instead of being a byword, might have been revered, honored and loved. Can you not recall instances in your reading of lives that failed localise of the lack of training? Perhaps it is not necessary to recall what your l>ooks say; you may remember among your own school friends one, ]>erhaps more than one, who fell out and failed of the course, not because of any mental defect, but from lack of determination to press on and succeed, and content with small things. You have learned that in this day of electricity, when the ends of the earth are brought to gether, one needs a wide and quick comprehension to keep up. You take your morning paper and learn that earlier in the day there was a Nihilist outbreak in Russia; that a vote in the Reichstag developed unexpected strength lr the Left; that in London the last vote ir the Commons was deemed significant, as showing growth in the single tax theories; that disestablishment again agitates clerical circles. You learn that only the day before, Rwsevelt, in Central Africa brought down a hitherto unknown species of eland; that in China a new spirit of unrest developing among the I'oxers is supposed to have its origin in the movements of Halley's Comet; that the Gakwacr of Barcxla started on a world tour; that in Australia new legislation is planned to make government on the principles of labor unionism more effective. By this time possibly you lay aside the paper with a sigh and feel that to understand the morning paper, even, one must have wide information. Yet when you think about it and remember the man with the encyclopdeia, crammed full of disarranged and undigested facts, you realize that something is needed besides a mere fund of information, valuable as that may be in its place. The carpenter or blacksmith may have his shop full of tools; but how useless if he does not know how to use them! So with book learning and education, you must know how to use your tools. Your work at Punahou, as you must see, has been preliminary, not final. But there is no need of discouragement in this thought. On the contrary, your right to your diploma is evidence that your work lias been well done. The railway engineer looks at the figures involved in the building of a big bridge with a certain awe at the total. Then he goes to the river bank and asks. "Where has all this money gone? Where is the bridge ?" and is taken over the site. Careful examination develops the solid �16 THE FRIEND bed, beyond all danger of undermining, enduring as the mountain crag, fitted to receive and sustain the massive superstructure and to carry ciylless train loads ot merchandise and the yet unborn millions who will people the broad land. Then he decides that the money has lieen well spent and the attainment fit for the object desired So with the education now given in our schools of preparation ; if mastered, it furnishes the tools for more and better work, or if advanced education may not be had by all, then it is all in line with the requirements of business. . The education which is now furnished in these schools has developed and perhaps created a demand for the higher education. This demand has been in part supplied by improvement in the older colleges, their broadening out into universities and the establishment of new schools. George Peabody in 1867 set aside a fund out of his great fortune "to give education to those not fortunate in getting it." Senator Stanford established a school "to qualify students for personal success and direct usefulness in life." "Johns Hopkins" was established to meet the demand for a higher education." Other schools have been created or older institutions remodeled to meet the requirements and the more exacting demands of education in our day. The time has passed when "a finished education" may consist of a smattering of nearly everything. The student who is thorough master of a single department is preferred to the one who has touched many subjects and has a large fund of general information but exactness in none. It is not so long ago that the man of business cared little for the scholastic attainments of his employe, even holding the college graduate in some contempt. But times have changed, and the educated man has in his education an asset which did not formerly exist. The great "Captains of Industry" now give preference to the educated applicant for employment. One of the results of their keen observation and unerring judgment of values in men is that education produces results. The college student knows how to reason, he has learned how to weigh the evidence, his perceptions are clear and quick ; he easily sees through the intricacies of manufacture, of production. Instinctively, but really because of the training his faculties have received, he masters problems in business, which are beyond the mere drudge. He does not make the mistakes which hamper, and often prevent the progress of the uneducated. Today, the close and keen competition of business demands results, and the educated man produces results.

When great moral issues stare men in the face, cold, intellectual tones give way to the warmth and fire of the heart. It There was one allwas so at Kailua. absorbing theme that asserted itself at every turn. There were other matters that claimed and received attention. Being the ninetieth anniversary of the landing of the first Christian missionaries in Hawaii, the occasion was suffused with missionary interest. Special memorial exercises, and special memorial addresses and the discussion of live missionary themes, had no small share in the daily programs, and elicited the closest attention from first to last. Whatever the theme, however, and however slight its connection, the real passion of the conference was the theme of prohibition. Men prayed about it, and talked about it, and sang about it on every occasion. It was the burden of the day and the prayer by night. Such splendid enthusiasm only comes to the surface when the minds and hearts of men are stirred to their depths. Those who were present will not soon forget the addresses of Desha and Kamaiopili and Kamau and Nakuina. and the imploring appeals of the women as they spontaneously voiced the deeper undercurrents of their lives. One Discordant Note. There was only one voice raised in opjxisition to the tidal wave of enthusiasm that swept the conference. It was that of Senator Makekau of Hamakua. Keen in his argument, and persuasive in his appeal, there was the utmost contrast between the tone and matter of his address and of addresses made later by Desha and Nakuina. His tone was that of the cold, calculating politician, and his matter was questions of expediency and of utility. The replies to his points were apt and conclusive, and the tone was vibrant with that peculiar timbre that men unconsciously employ when dominated by a great moral passion. It was a battle of bright men, and the champions for prohibition won out completely. 17 THE FRIEND Honoring the Fathers. There has been to date no such fitting and significant recognition of the work of the early missionaries as the memorial services at Kailua on Sunday, June 26. In the first place, the services were held in one of the oldest church buildings in the Territory. Large and high and solid, it represents the aim of the missionary fathers in all their work. The interior, freshly renovated and attractive, connects the past foundations with the present activities. The audience in its complex composition, with the preponderant Hawaiian membership, was an evidence of the enduring influence of missionary teaching. Again, the personality of the speakers was noteworthy, one being the oldest active descendant of the missionaries of the first generation. Rev. O. H. Gulick, who spoke at length in both Hawaiian and English on the work of the fathers; the other being one of our most able and eloquent Hawaiian pastors, who spoke most fittingly on the first Hawaiian Christian, Henry Opukahaia, and his three Christian comrades, Hopu, Kanui, and Honolii. Again, the participation of the races in the program was indicative of the new day in Hawaii, for the scriptures were read in Hawaiian, in English, in Chinese, and in Japanese, by representatives of these races, while the prayer was by a grandson of one of the mission families, himself an earnest religious worker among us today. If men could only project themselves into the future to realize how sure and abundant is the fruitage of the patient worker in the kingdom of God, how transporting would be their grateful joy. But that is one of the realizations that is reserved for heaven. 'Those early missionaries now rejoice, though here they toiled in patient hope. old. O Clod, thy Spirit wrought," followed by prayer by Rev. G. L. Kopa. The chairman of the committee, Rev. W. B.

Paris, and likewise of one of our honored Hawaiian families, unveiled the . bronze tablet The exercises closed with benediction by Rev. J. K. Kekahuna, perhaps the oldest living Hawaiian minister in active life. Mr. Elijah McKenzie was employed to supervise the erection of the arch and the noble memorial is witness to his unceasing personal attention in its construction. Set in from the wall that borders the main street of Kailua by a curved wall on either side, the arch is an mposing and fitting memorial alike to the first Christian missionaries to Hawaii, and to Opukahaia and his comrades Hopu. Kanui. and Honolii. May it long stand as a mute witness to the strange leadings of God, and to the marvelous glories of His grace. Ji Reminiscences. Sunday's memorial exercises closed with an evening of reminiscenses under the leadership of Rev. S. L. Desha. Rev. J. K. Kamoku, one of our oldest Hawaiian pastors, spoke of the work of Father Thurston. Rev. J. A. Akina sjxake of the labors of Father Whitney. Rev. W. B. Oleson read a letter from Mrs. S. E. Bishop concerning the Bishop and Thurston families, and Mr. F. W. Damon displayed a letter written by Opukahaia. probably the only autograph letter of Opukahaia in Hawaii. Mr. Damon spoke of Opukahaia as the magnet that drew attention to Hawaii as a field of need, and that irresistibly led not only to the inauguration of mission work here, but Ji to missionary undertakings elsewhere. interest was aroused by these Intense The Memorial Arch. personal and historical reminiscenses.

He urged that what has been gained by missions here be held by sustaining the work of today in the spirit of the fathers. Mr. Levi G. Lyman presented the claims of Hilo boarding school and introduced Mr. F. A. Clower, one of Mr. Lyman's assistants, who spoke earnest words on the need of building up by proper schooling a generation of Hawaiian farmers. Rev. W. B. Oleson outlined briefly a scheme for colonizing the people who were stranded and helpless in Honolulu. The association voted to press this suggestion and appointed the following committee Messrs. Oleson, Nakuina, Desha, Dr. Baker and Senator Baker. The addresses of Revs. Messrs. Dodge and Poai on the question "What can we do to promote temperance?" were earnest and timely. Rev. E. S. da Silva pressed home the obligation to give more generously for mission work, as answer to the question "Are we meeting our missionary obligations today?" On the question, "Giving for Missions, What Do I Owe?" Revs. Messrs. Burnham and Lono reinforced the pressure already brought to bear for the fulfilling of personal obligation. Rev. August Drahms gave an extremely good address on the question: "What is our greatest need in our present mission work ?" We hope to have room later on for some of these addresses in whole or in part for publication in The Friend. They contributed in no small measure to the success and value of this annual confer- : churches of this association, and that prayers for the downfall of the saloon in Hawaii ,be offered continuously in every church and from every family altar in the land." Jl Parting Pledges. Spjendid Hospitality. It was no small experiment to hold a meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at such a small place as Kailua. There were misgivings that the experiment might not be successful. But such misgivings were quickly dissipated; for the preparations that had been made were ample and comfortable, and the spirit of hospitality expressed so well in Dr. Baker's address of welcome, and evinced on every hand by the people of Kailua and vicinity, was all that could be desired. Mrs. Robinson was specially active in ministering to the comfort of delegates. Prince Kuhio, in extending the use of the Palace, and Mrs. Allen, in opening her cottage to guests of the conference, contributed in no small measure to the general well-being. The occasion was a memorable one and the hospitality will long be remembered. In spite of the bustle and hurry of the closing forenoon at Kailua, quite a company gathered beneath the arch for a farewell service. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. N. Kamoku. Then followed the reading of the following pledge, the Moderator leading: "Standing on this spot made sacred by the landing of the first Christian mis by the landing of the first Christian missionaries to Hawaii, we pledge ourselves anew to the serviec of Christ and his church.

This historic spot and this memorial occasion invite certain considerations that may well give us the key-note for this great gathering. One of these is to be found in the prayer of Opukahaia, the to be found in the act of the great Kamehameha in sending forth his chiefs from his council house here in Kailua to stop the making and the use of liquor. Both events took place in the year 1818, two years before the coming of the missionaries. One was the appeal to God of a dying youth in a strange land on behalf of his race. The other was the manly decision of a strong leader to use his power to protect his people from a dreadful scourge. Both men strove to meet their duty to their brother men. The prayer of Opukahaia, and the command of Kamehameha! They were both alike inspired of God. One knew that it was the Spirit of God within him that was making the great intercession. The other in his darkness knew not that God was his invisible prompter. One saw a great need and joined himself to God to secure his gracious help. The other saw a great evil and girded himself to crush it. In the great solicitude with which God had filled his soul, Opukahaia cried out: "Great God, bless Tom, and purify him. and return Tom and me to Hawaii to tell the people of the heavenly things." He thus voiced the true spirit of Christian brotherhood. And his prayer should inspire in us today the same consuming �July, 1910 THE FRIEND. 19 with fitting reverence and used without solicitude for the men of our own time. question the knowledge so dearly bought Our supreme duty is not to raise money, concerning the islands of the north.

I am often asked why I am a prohibitionist, and I must confess that when I hear and read the multitude of arguments for and against prohibition and review the many ingenious schemes and substitutes for reducing the consumption oi liquor and its consequences to a minimum that I am confused and hardly dare present the direct evidence and simple logic which lead me to accept no middle ground. The direct evidence to be obtained in the courts, jails, hospitals, homes and the many institutions for correction and relief and the almost universal admission of non-prohibitionists of the terrible and evil results from the excessive and unwise use of liquor convinces me that prohibition cannot be assailed from the moral and social sides. When I attempt to determine the economic value of sobriety to the state and the individual, the problem seems a simple one; almost too simple to convince, when set beside the overwhelming mass of complicated arguments of opponents and the ingenious but sometimes involved theories of political economists. Laying aside an extended analysis, it is but common logic and common sense that a man's needs and luxuries are fruits of production, and prosperity mians there shall be demand for these fruits. 'The greater and more general the demand the greater and more general the prosperity, Anything which limits the demand or anything which limits the production or the capacity of the individual to produce should be suppressed. The liquor traffic does all these, and furthermore the drink habit lowers the standard of living and operates as one of the strongest factors illogical.

Prosperity demands sober producers, sober production and wise spending. environThese conditions require ment of a sober state. The increase in property and valuations in such a state, the increase in producers and in production, and the decrease in burdens and 11011 producers makes taxation light, and tends to increase and equalize prosperity. A man who labors in such environment reaps the results of his labor and does not carry the burden of additional drunken non-producing consumers. Let us state a few self-evident facts and see if we cannot deduce a few selfMoney represents evident conclusions. labor of production, and the 'laborer gets his dollar as a return. When he pushes that dollar over the bar of the liquor dealer, it is lost to him. for the purchase of necessities and luxuries for himself and family. He then must work another day for another dollar. Two days' labor and the purchasing power of one! Perhaps a third day of incapacity. That dollar can have no economic benefit. Is the merchant not interested also in that dollar and the fact that the drinking man's purchasing power and the purchasing power of his family are reduced and that there is a corresponding loss in trade? Also the manufacturer who supplies the merchant, does he not lose? It seems quite evident that the liquor dealer imposes a terrible tax upon anil is an enemy of the drinking laborer and his family and an active and serious competitor of the merchant and manufacturer. Some say the dollar still exists. Is that quite true? When the bartender takes that dollar he gives no positive value in return and performs no labor of production. He is not a producer, nor is the liquor dealer, nor the wholesaler nor the brewer. (>ue of the laws of economics proclaimed by an Indian philosopher centuries ag< > says: "But if one eats fruits of the earth, rendering to kindly heaven no gift of toil, that thief steals from his world." I believe this is true. These are a few reasons, perhaps not very profound, but sufficiently convincing to me, why Hawaii should establish, under a prohibition law, the conditions and environments conducive to sobriety, industry and prosperity. THE FRIEND. BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH. (Continued from June number.) In the first place, 1 want to call attention to two or three arguments that are overworked. Every once in a while a man tells me he is opposed to "sumptuary legislation." Two or three years ago we had a convention in ()maha, and a man came in and had a plank on sumptuary legislation he wanted put in our platform. I said, "Not in this platform," He said, "The liquor men have eight millions of dollars raised and they are going into this campaign, and we can't afford to offend them." I said, 'That plank will not go into this platform." I said, "I have heard enough 1 wtant about sumptuary legislation. someone to define what he means by it before he puts it in any more platforms." Every law proposed for the restriction or restraining of the liquor traffic is opposed by somebody as sumptuary legislation, and they say. "Why, if you commence to do that, first thing you will be telling by law how much clothing a man should have and how many suits of clothes." Now, when a man says anything to me about sumptuary legislation, I say, " Define it; the time is come now to tell me what you are talking about. You tell me what you mean by sumptuary legislation and I will tell you what 1 think about it." 1 tell him if he means by sumptuary legislation a law which says how many suits of clothes a man shall wear, I am opposed to it; if he means by it how much money a man shall spend for clothing, I am opposed to it; but I am willing to go this far in sumptuary legislation, to say that man shall wear some clothing. And so, on the liquor traffic. I want a man to define what he means by sumptuary legislation, and then I will tell him whether I am in favor of it or not. I hear them talk about "personal liberty." Did you ever hear anybody talk about personal liberty when you talk about the liquor question? That is another expression that ought to be defined. When a man tells me he wants personal liberty, I tell him to write it out and tell me what he means by personal liberty. I tell him that when a man enters society he surrenders some of his 21 liberty in return for the blessings of society. Why, my friends, for instance, if a man lives out on a desert, and there is nobody within twenty-five miles of him, he can get on a horse and run races anywhere at any time. But, if he goes into a settled community he can't run horse races on a public highway. Why? P.ecause you have to have a speed limit for the protection of society. Why, even they have speed limits sometimes on automobiles, sacred as they are. If you can put limits on a race horse, if you can put speed limits on an automobile, why can't you attach a speed limit to a rapid young man occasionally. "Personal liberty!" What does a man mean by it ? Does he mean that he has a right, or ought to have to drink anywhere at any time in any quantity without asking anybody and regardless of the effect on everybody? Is that what he means by personal liberty ? If so, I can't agree with him. I believe that when a man asks for the right to drink, he must give plans and specifications, and he must show that he desires to drink in reasonable quantities at reasonable times, and under conditions that do not injure other people. Every man's rights stop where he infringes upon the equal rights of somebody else. The first position that I want to lay down on the question of legislation is that the people have the right to determine under what conditions liquor shall be sold and used. That is fundamental. I believe in the right of a majority to rule. I believe that the majority have a right to act on this subject as on every Other subject. Wherever you have government there must be a source of power. Whenever a government acts, the action must come from some body or somewhere, and wherever you find governmtnt the authority is either in the majority or in the minority. There is no escape from that proposition. There are only two sources from which authority and government can come. One is from the majority and the other from the minority. A great many governments have drawn their authority from the minority. We have had unlimited monarchies, where the king was the source of power and asked nobody. Then we have had limited monarchies, where the king was the source of power, but asked somebody what he might do. We have had aristocracies, where a few would control, and the voice of the few would outweigh the voice of the many. We have had aris- �22 tocracies based upon different foundations. We have had, first, the aristocracy of birth. People have ruled because they were born of rulers. But those aristocracies are passing away. Then we have had aristocracies that were based upon intelligence, upon educational qualifications. Then we have had aristocracies based upon property qualifications. We have had aristocracies that were intellectual, we have had aristocracies that were plutocratic. But, my friends, if we concede that a minority wanting to use liquor shall outvote and outweigh a majority that do not want the saloon established in a community, if we insist that it is right for the minority in that case to rule, upon what does that aristocracy rest as a foundation ? We have had aristocracies of birth and of blood and of brain, and of pocketbook, but when you say that a minority opposed to anti-liquor legislation shall have the voice and rule against a majority against them, you have an aristocracy based on appetite, where a man only has to be thirsty to belong to the ruling power. I don't like aristocracies of any kind. I am opposed to aristocracies of birth. I am opposed to a monopoly of intelligence. I am opposed to plutocracy. But, my friends, if I had to decide, I would rather have aristocracy of money and aristocracy of brain or an aristocracy of blcod, than to live under an aristocracy of beer. Ido not regard it as necessary to proceed to submit argument in support of the doctrine that the majority have a right to rule, but I want to apply this doctrine. I am not going to discuss the liquor question in regard to the legislation, in detail, outside of my own state, because when you come to discuss the details and the particular legislation you find conditions different in different states and communities, and I am dealing now with the conditions in our state and our community. I am willing that the people who are nearest to a question shall decide what is best. I am going to laydown a proposition that I believe to be a defensible one anywhere and everywhere. There is a great deal of discussion now about the unit. In one place they have a town unit, in another place they have a township unit. In another place they have a county unit. And nobody, I suppose, disputes that you can have a state unit. I believe in some places they have a ward unit. In some places they allow people in any contiguous territory to exclude the saloon. Now, I am not going to enter into a discussion with you as tr, which is the best unit. I believe in them all, and there is no reason why you should not have all of them. If you ask me if I am in favor of people in a block keeping the saloon out, I say yes. If you July, 1910 THE FRIEND. ask me if I am in favor of allowing the people of a ward to keep the saloon out. I say yes. If you ask me if I am in favor of allowing the people of a town to keep the saloon out, 1 say yes. If you ask me if I am in favor of county option also, 1 say yes, and I am in favor of state Option and national option. Now, I don't want you to labor under a misunderstanding. When I say I am in favor of county option and state option and national option, do not understand me to say that I am in favor of the exercising of that option in any particular way in any particular place. I am speaking now for the right of the people to rule. I believe that the larger unit always controls the smaller one and that everywhere the smaller unit has a right to act, except as restrained by the larger unit. There is no reason why you should not have township option as well as city option and county option all in the same state. There is no reason why you should not allow people anywhere and everywhere to act on this question. Your fallacy is this, that you talk about fairness in regard to saloons, whereas, if you will read the lexicon of the saloonkeeper, there are two words that do not appear, "fairness" and "justice." There is no fairness or justice about the saloon, and you might as well understand that these words can't be used of the liquor business. A saloon at the best is a nuisance, and never tolerated except as a necessary nuisance. Nobody defends the saloon. They apologize for it, but they never defend it. You can't find a state in this union, or a part of a state where the people asking for a saloon ever urge it as a moral center, an educational institution, or an economic asset. It is understood that the saloon is not a blessing. Go and examine the homes of your great liquor dealers, the rich ones, and see how near they are to a saloon. Go with a petition and ask them to join with you in putting a saloon neat their residences and they are the last ones to do it. They will put a saloon by the house of a poor man, and not only deprive his property of value, but run the risk of ruining those about the saloon, but they do not put it near their own homes. The saloon is not a good thing. It is a center of vice and crime. It is the first place a jxilice officer goes when he is looking for a criminal, and it is the first place closed when there is a riot in town. It is a bureau of information on every vice and only tolerated for fear, that if you close it. you will have something worse than the Haloon. Why, I saw a paper the other day that said that thirty brewers in this city had signed an agreement to help the city government enforce laws against disorderly houses, and one of the brewers said, "We have demonstrated that the law can be enforced." Why didn't they demonstrate it before? Most citizens don't have to sign an agreement to help enforce the law. It is presumed they will help enforce the law because they are law-abiding citizens. It was necessary for the brewers to agree to help enforce the law in order to take themselves out of the category of those who helped to defeat the law. and when they say, "We will not deliver goods any more to these houses," it means "We have done it in the past and helped to violate the law." They are the lawless class in every community. EVENTS. June "—Hawaiian Promotion Committee reported success in selling pineapple juice as a cold drink.—Judge Wm.

One of his lifelong comrades well said, "l-'ew men in this community will be missed as greatly as William I [all." Dr. White. It is a wise procedure for a church like Central l'nion to secure the services of noted preachers from the mainland for occasional terms of exchange with the regular pastor, or during his vacations. Such ministrations are a tonic to the entire community, and react favorably in Rev. Frank Newhall White, D. D every way upon the church itself. Newviews of truth are presented, working laymen have a fine opportunity for exl>ert consultation with these chiefs of prominent and successful organizations, and the echoes of the effective service rendered spurs the regular minister to more varied and energetic work. Central I'nion. which has frequently profited by THE FRIEND. this experience, is expecting Rev. Prank New hall White, I).

Dr. White is the son of a successful minister, was educated at Kipon College, and Andover Seminary, served as pastor in Hancock. Mich., for a few* years, and then became a missionary of the American Hoard in Japan, where he did splendid work and rapidly forged to the front. He was stationed at Sendai and at Tsu. Failing health in his family compelled his return to America, where he was successively pastor of Congregational churches in Burlington, Iowa: Cheyenne, Wyoming; Sioux City, Iowa; and now in Chicago. He is twice I). I).. Kipon and Iowa Colleges having given him the honor in the same year. A corporate member of the American Hoard, having the honor of holding the position of alternate preacher for the coming centennial meeting, closely associated with Chicago Theological Seminary, and one of the inner circle of the leaders of his denomination in the Middle West, Dr. White is at the very acme of his powers. His church is about to erect a $1(X),000 parish house to serveas a clinical center for the seminary, and a home of wide ministry for the entire district about l'nion Park. It is hoped that the dee)) spiritual interest now stirring the hearts of the young people in Central L'nion Church will be intensified during the summer, and result in still larger accessions next fall. 5 Mr. Gardner has been called from London to Boston to manage the still greater exhibition planned for next spring, lie wishes to make Hawaii because of her dramatic Christian story, still more prominent. The Bishop Museum Trustees have been asked to loan material, and the Hawaiian Hoard is being opportuned to aid to the fullest degree. The Board has appointed a committee, with Mr. ( Heson as its chairman, which will do its best. A very wide cooperation of all able to assist in making th's a notable exhibit of Hawaii's story is requested. The Promotion Committee will unofficially lend its aid. More than a million of the leading Christian people of the Eastern States will view this exposition, and if we do our part the lure of these Islands will be felt by them all. The direct result for missionary support will be very large. D. S. .1* WAILUKU NOTES.

A meeting of the Cousins was held beautiful Arcadia, the home of Gov. and Mrs. Frear, on the evening of April 30th. The "Thaddeus" and the voyage of the pioneer missionaries in 1810 20, was the topic of the evening. Amid such artistic surroundings it was not easy to put one's self in sympathy with the brave young souls crowded in that little bark upon an at angry sea. To make it more realistic, some young people, dressed in the costumes of 1820, came slowly down the broad stairway, as the names of the voyagers were read from the Missionary Album, and joined with the company in singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains:" and Miss Reynolds, a grand-daughter of Father and Mother Bingham, played "A Storm at Sea" till you seemed to hear the dashing of the waves upon the deck, and almost felt the rocking the shivering of the little craft. A journal, written on board the "Thaddeus" came into the possession of the society about a year ago, and from this extracts were taken, all read by descendants of these pioneer missionaries. Mrs. Whine, a grand-daughter of Father and Mother Thurston, read of the partings at Poston. the sea-sickness, the calms, the long delays, the improvement of their time, rough weather, and of the celebration of Christmas Day. Miss Reynolds read of storms, of the first sight of land, of ships in the distance and whales near by, of the rounding of Cape Horn, and again terrific storms, and through it all a spirit of trust and love and consecration. "Arabeske," from Schumann, was at this point sympathetically rendered h/ Mrs. W. D.

Mrs. Ranney Scott, a great-granddaughter of Father and Mother Whitney, continued the journal where it told of more rapid progress on the Pacific, of searchings of heart, adventures with a shark, the falling overboard of Mr. Whitney, and the arrival at the islands, where beautiful scenery and good news of idolatry overthrown greeted them.

December Christmas. —'This day we passed under the vertical sun in the Tropic of Capricorn. 'This day we joyfully commemorate the rising of that Sun which is the Light of the world, far more glorious than the orb of day. We thought it desirable to devote this day to meditation upon that interesting event which was hailed with rapture by the hosts of heaven, and to the recollection and acknowledging of our obligations to our condescending Savior. In the evening Pi other Bingham preached a sermon on the occasion from Luke 2:14, in which the birth of the Savior was considered. "1. As a manifestation of good will to men:" "2, As a means of promoting 'peace on earth," and "3, As an illustration of the glory of god." Concluding with four reflections: (1) This event is worthy of the most grateful and joyful commemoration: (2) how widely different are the feelings and conduct of infidels and scoffers from the angels, respecting this birth of a savior: (3) the propagation of the gospel is the most desrable employment this side heaven; (4) : this event will be an occasion of joy to the thousands of the Sandwich Isles, to the millions of thedterth universally, and to the holy kingdom of Jehovah to all eternity.

It will, we are sure, he a great encouragement to the superintendent and to all who assisted in getting up the program, to read these words of appreciation from an outsider. J Second Annual Ladies' Night. 'The Men's League, following the precedent of last year, closed its year's work with a dinner to which the gentlemen were privileged to invite their lady friends. The dinner was given in the mauka pavilion of the Alexander Young Hotel, on Monday evening, May 23, at 7 o'clock. Instead of the usual after dinner address the executive committee conceived the idea of having Miss Eva Lindeman, of San Francisco, who is visiting in the city, give a song recital, and fortunate, indeed, were they to secure her.

The address of the afternoon was given by Mrs. Walter I". Frear, after which the meeting adjourned and a social hour with most delightful refreshments was enjoyed. The missionary concert, as usual, was a bright spot in the month's mid week services. 'The paper by Miss Lydia P. Coan on the "Religions of Peru" was ably written and extremely interesting. Through her nephew, Prof. Bingham of Vale, who is an authority on South American civilization, Mrs. Coan was able to become thoroughly informed on the people of this fascinating country, the land of Pizarro, the ancient Incas, and primitive sun worship, as well as the bright and oftimes dark story of Catholicism. Most vividly did she portray the moral degradation prevalent. Put the dawn of a new day has come to Peru. The missionaries of Christ have sown the seed ami a new and higher life is appearing. On Thursday evening, May 5, Mr. Sydney Hoben, R. C. M. Leipzic, gave an organ recital in Central Union Church, assisted byMr Alan White, and Mr. Philip Hall, who each sang solos and by Miss Margaret Clark as accompanist. The large and appreciative audience which was present confirmed the conviction we have long had that there is opportunity here for a much larger service in the way of concerts and recitals which the church has been all too slow in accepting. We sincerely hope that this may be the beginning of a larger service of music. Surely the success of this first recital should encourage our music committee to arrange for others. The concluding social of the season was held in the chapel and parish house, Thursday evening, May 12. A most enjoyable and certainly a most novel feature was the dramatic representation entitled "Why Mrs. Gordon did not hire a servant," given by members of the society. It was an original production written by Miss Helen Spinks. she herself taking a leading part in the presentation. It was a great success. Everyone enjoyed it. It made the evening really worth while. Refreshments were served in the parish house, where small tables were set to accommodate all who were present. Once again we are called upon to bear sad news. Central Union has suffered a great loss in the death of Mr. W. W. Hall, for so many years the faithful clerk of the church.

And trial, better to get that, and give it fair than to continue things as they are. Indeed, to vote 'Acs" at the coming election is the only way left open for the man who believes in restricting the honor traffic to voice his convictions. a solution. J* Indifferent About Voting. Every man who wants to promote the sale and use of liquor will vote at the coming election. So will every man who can be influenced by him. On the other hand, even- man who believes in prohibition will vote and will influence as many more men to vote with him as possible. But there are some men who may not vote. They are prejudiced against prohibition, or they prefer some other form of restriction! or they are content as things are, or for some reasons other than these, they are now inclined to keep away from the ballot box on July 26. 'The presumption is that these men are all favorable to the restriction of the sale of liquor, and therefore it should be dearly understood that their staying away from the polls will count in the interest of the continued sale of liquor in Hawaii. Their absence from the polls in each case, means one vote less for the forces to which they naturally belong. and commensurate encouragement to the interests they do not favor. J* If Prohibition Carries. If prohibition carries at the July election certain things are likely to follow. 'Thus, the legislators who get elected at the November election will be elected by the voters who carry the July election. These men will be in sympathy with the wishes of the electors and will enact a law in keeping with the mandate of the special election. Again, our legislature will profit by the experience of mainland legislation in framing a law that will provide proper facilities for the effective enforcement of the people's will. Again, it is altogether likely that Congress will enact legislation that will substantially reinforce the decision which our voters make in the special election which Congress itself has ordered. These are all probabilities, and as such become in themselves weighty considerations why hesitant men should give this movement their support, and thus help to give a prohibitory law a fair trial. Another consideration is imbedded in the fact that many communities either under local option which has maintained local prohibition for a long term of years, or under statutory prohibition, are overwhelmingly satisfied with the results. What has been accomplished elsewhere may be accomplished here. Such a pos- FRIEND, sibility ought to have due weight with every voter. sti- ll Prohibition Fails. We ought to look that possibility squarely in the face. No man has a larger concern in such an issue than the man who is proposing not to vote. What will happen if prohibition fails to carry at the special election? For one thing the liquor element will find itself in tin saddle, and the anti-liquor element will be unhorsed. That will probably mean pro-liquor legislators, and pro-liquor legislation. Put it will also mean a renewed antagonism on the part of the anti-liquor men. On one side will he passion and selfishness, and a vested interest flushed with success at the polls; on the othei will be men of honest conviction and unselfish civic patriotism, and genuine civic brotherliness, defeated for the time, but in the lists to win out at last. If any man thinks that this question is going t< be kept out of politics by allowing prohibition at the coining election to go down to defeat, he may as well disabuse himself of such an opinion. Prohibition, oi at least the more stringent restriction of liquor selling, is bound to be one of tin big issues before the voters in the future, the issues before the voters in the future if it is not settled by the July election ir accordance with the wishes of a great number of public-spirited citizens. It will be in politics with a vengeance if not settled right now. No community in the mainland has been able to keep the convictions of its best citizens on this vital question out of politics and it will not he possible here. It would seem like political wisdom for the men who love politics as a game to clear the deck of this question before it gets into polit'cs. This is the time to do it. It will be t(X) late if the anti-liquor men get unhorsed at the coming election, for they will get horsed again quickly enough, and there are other elections coming. Great moral questions like this suffer delay but they never fail to win out at last.

RICHARDS. 9 The Call of Christ in the Plebiscite A Sermon Delivered at Central Union Church, Honolulu, Sunday, May 29, by Doremus Scudder, D. D. "Render unto Caesar the things that arc Caesar's and unto Cod the things that arc Cod's." This is Jesus' law of citizenship. It requires men to be as faithful in politics as in religion. Xay, it links the two spheres, and makes it impossible for a man to be fully religious who does not perform his duty to the State. The plebiscite to be held on July 26 is a mandate from the American nation. It is a rare thing for the country to call upon one of its component parts to express its mind upon a great moral question, perhaps the greatest moral question in the social realm. The nation and the world await the outcome. No citizen worthy of the name has the fight to dodge the issue. The Christ calls upon every one of his followers to express his solemn conviction, first by using his intluence before July 2d on the right side and second by voting. Even the women may not escape. In the providence of God they too hold mighty compelling forces, and by their use of them may inlluence the nation as profoundly as the men. The sacredness of the obligation imposed upon us men and women.of Hawaii cannot be overstated. As minister of Jesus Christ in this historic church, I should be false to the Master if I did not employ every possible personal and official influence on the side of eternal right in this decisive conflict. The call of the Christ in this plebiscite is a demand for justice. We of the white race are responsible for the introduction of liquor here. Our alcoholic drinks exterminated the royal family and the high chiefs, and have almost destroyed the entire Hawaiian race. The remnant is being killed off so rapidly now that unless liquor is banished, the pure strain will soon disappear from earth. If we are not ruthlessly to murder a whole people we must call a halt to the terrible traffic. It is late in the day to show justice to these Islanders. It is very meager jusf'ce to deny alcoholic beverages to those of our own race here in the hope of staying the dstruction of our Hawaiian brothers. And the Author of the Golden Rule leaves no alternative. Infinite pathos breathes in the Christ call of the plebiscite.

Once personal appetite gets the best of self interest and conscience, it is ready and too often able to defy the public law that interferes on behalf of the general welfare. Whenever prohibition carries in an electorate we still have to allow for a margin of failure on account of the ripe fruit of the liquor business—the army of ruined men whose citizenship has been charged off by stupid, reckless, wicked license financiering, from the column of civic assets to the scrap-heap of liabili- ties, and for the insolent yelp of the liquor sellers, who. having coached the runners in the race for ruin, and got their pocket books, point their light fingers at the wretched company and My with puffy cheeks. "Prohibition does not prohibit." There is a certain dirty quality of truth in it: but even at that, they lie For there is many a drunkard too weak to walk a man's gait through a gauntlet of to seize with miserable joy the possibility afforded by the prohibitory law. with all the personal suffering involved, and make a dash for liberty and restoration to the ranks of manly men. Nevertheless, it remains only too true that the main body of the human wreckage will make no steadfast effort to reform, and will stop at nothing to go behind the law in answer to the call of crazy nerves and fainting ambition, for alcohol and sleep or madness. Lined up on the same side of the arguwith these incompetents and incorrigibles is a company of the prosperous and care- less "temperate" drinkers, who repudiate the call to sacrifice even so much as one poor occasional cocktail for the general g(x)d. 'These corroborate the false and fraudulent clamor of the liquor side with the calm and crooked cynicism. "You can't make men moral by law." "Crooked" is an ugly adjective, but it is justified in this connection. For anybody that knows anything about the social philosophy or history, knows that civilization must stand or fall, on the proposition that you CAN make men moral by law. The defective and perverted will conspire with criminals, and the competent self-lovers and gluttons will flout the law. Put these are relatively few. Most of us are reasonable and normal, open-minded to the law—the school-master of the world, that raps the restless and heedless with the ferrule, stands the stubborn in the corner, flogs the disobedient, and expels the vicious, but brings on the great pupil body by mere wholesome suggestion. Who is it that says "Prohibition does not prohibit"? The men who intend that it shall not. And by so saying they confess the criminal nature and connections of the business and their own dishonesty in the debate. Who is it that says. "You can't make men moral by law"? Those whose deity and university are their own cravings. and who despise the duty and the privilege of helping others. Put concede that the drunkard and the glutton will hold on their way to moral and material poverty.

We showed him that a little more English and arithmetic would do him good, and he signed up for these courses. At that time he was driving a grocery wagon at a salary that does not allow for purchasing much sugar stock. This year he entered the bookkeeping class, and soon left his wagon for a posi- treated liquor cannot compromise with the government any longer. A bootlegger will not run the risk of going to prison for two years under the federal law, and if he takes out a government stamp the state or local authorities can immediately secure his name from the records in the revenue department and arrest him. In Kansas the possession of a government stamp is prima facie evidence of guilt. Govern- or Stubbs says that the new policy will reduce violation of liquor laws in "dry" states fully 50 per cent, if not more. And now. to complete the good work begun by Governor Stubbs. the CurtisMiller I till has been introduced in Congress. It is as follows: A PILL To Constitute Intoxicating Liquors as a Special Class of Commodities, and to Rcgul te the Interstate Shipments of Such Liquors. Section 1. P,e it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That all fermented, distilled or other intoxicating liquors shall constitute a special class of commodities, and. as a special class, shall be admitted to and carried in interstate commerce, subject to the limitations and restrictions hereinafter imposed upon interstate commerce in articles of such special class. Section 2. 'That the interstate commerce character of all fermented, distilled, or other intoxicating liquors admitted to interstate commerce in accordance with the provisions of this Act, and transported from one State. Territory or district of the L'nitcd States into anyother State, Territory or district of the United States, or from any foreign country into any State. Territory or district of the United States, shall terminate upon their arrival immediately within the boundary of the State, Territory or district in which the place of destination is situated and before the delivery of said liquors to the consignee: Provided, That shipments of such liquors entirely through a State. Territory or district of the United States shall not be subject to the provisions of this section while in transit through such State, Territory or district of the United States shall not be subject to the provisions of this section while in transit through such <btate. Territory or district of the United States. a* WHAT! WHERE! WHO! When the dram seller assumes that eager expression of countenance and says: "If prohibition carries, where is our revenue to come from," he is making a play on words. He does not mean the public revenue, but "OUR." that is, the revenue of the philanthropists engaged in the liquor business. Nevertheless, the question is pertinent, Where will they get it? "It is hard to say. But they can get it by going to work at some decent, honest labor. A good many women who have been deprived of the revenue that should have gone to them and to their children, for the sake of the dram seller, have made a living, such as it was, by taking in washing. When the dram ship goes out of business these women will not need to continue with their tubs.

M. C. A. steps to the front with its army secretary and building and ends the argument; far-sighted political leaders in the progressive West carry the prohibition fight into rum-cursed centers like Chicago and send cold shivers down the backs of primeval bosses by their manly and convincing demonstration, both that prohibition prohibits and that prohibition politically pays. Not a single argument that I have seen in the press directed against the practicability of legislative prohibition in the present campaign has borne the faintest suggestion of modernity—old dead nineteenth century mummies every one of them. But Hawaii's situation is, like everything Hawaiian, far in the vanguard of new issues. The nation has seen nothing like it. It is a fitting prelude to the second decade of this noble century. Hitherto the American people, as a whole, have held rather aloof from taking a hand in the anti-liquor fight. Good faith with the Indian, who, by treaty, demanded to be saved from the alcohol curse, compelled Uncle Sam to safeguard Indian reservations, and also Indian Territory when Oklahoma became a State. A national conscience that was ashamed to let its soldiers serve under conditions that any great industrial plant would not tolerate for a second, forced Congress to abolish the canteen. Out of decency the national legislature cleansed its own quarters in Washington from the drink nuisance, but beyond this it refused to budge, and its highest court solemnly sanctioned the bombardment of every prohibition locality by the combined liquor forces of the rest of the Union. In fact the nation exerted itself to make prohibition not prohibit. Lo, then, with Hawaii a new era dawns. Wonderfully moved by the appeals from the native race, the sovereign people of the United States have demanded that these Islands say once and for all whether they want the liquor curse here to live or die. If the answer of July 26 be "Death," and if this be followed up by corresponding legislative enactment, the nation will be committed irrevocably to action that will make effective the will of the people of Hawaii. Good faith with us will compel Congress to prevent the importation of liquor, except for scientific or medicinal purposes, into these Islands. The local prohibition league, in its declaration of principles, makes this fundamental. Ha(ireat tion for the principle. "Prohibition must prohibit." and the law will automatically follow preventing the people of non-prohibition States from the nefarious and unjust endeavor to render ineffectual the will of communities that have outlawed the liquor traffic. Whatever may have been the case elsewhere, prohibition will and must prohibit in Hawaii because the nation in demanding our vote is morally bound to make it effctive. For this reason the call of the Christ in the plebiscite is a summons to the highest practical wisdom. Our nation has in God's wise providence placed Hawaii on the firing line of this great moral battlefield, just as the divine unfolding of human history has advanced us to the forefront in the still larger movement of universal human brotherhood. The eyes of our country are upon us. We are fighting the fight of every local option community which has voted "no" and of every State which has enacted a prohibitory law. Our "yes" on Jury 26 will be registered in the high- est deliberative assembly among men, the Congress of the United States, and will animate with courage every fellowsoldier on earth in the war of truth against falsehood. This is Memorial Sunday, when, in raemory of all those who died for the nation, we dedicate ourselves anew to our country. The honored dead of the past are looking down upon us wondering how we will bear ourselves as patriots in this latest conflict. It is also Peace Sunday in Hawaii when the churches of are thinking of the bonds Jesus Christmen everywhere in a loving that unite that shall forever end all fejlow service warfare. We are fighting one of the great human battles with a definite bearing upon the forces that make for a universal world life and therefore for world peace. The call of the Christ in the plebiscite has an ideal value all its own. It challenges every voter in the Territory and every man. woman and child who can influence a voter to do his utmost for lovely Hawaii nei. for the nation, for mankind the world over and for God. Our Young People HENRY P. JUDD THE SUNDAY SCHOOL MOVEMENT. ( Extracts from a sermon in the Kahului I'nion Church. Sunday. May 22. 1910). This twenty-second day of May is called "World's Sunday School Day," because we are today remembering our fellow workers in the Sunday schools all over the world, and especially those from many lands now meeting in the city of Washington. D. C, in the World's Sixth Sunday School Convention. At the request of the World's Sunday School Association, sermons are being preached today in Christian churches all over the world in the interest of this world-wide movement so important in its bearing upon the young people. Sunday schools everywhere are thinking especially of the Convention at Washington, and the great movement that is teaching the Word of God in every part of the earth. We here in Hawaii form a link in the chain of prayer that is today encircling the globe. It will be well for us to trace the history of the Sunday school movement, noticing its strength and work in the world today, its nrogress in Hawaii nei and what we here in Kahului can do for the movement. The idea of a school for instruction in the Word of God seems to have been prevalent among the Hebrews at an early date. In the Book of Deuteronomy, we read that the father was commanded to teach the law to his family. He was thus like a Sunday school teacher, having as his pupils the members of his household, his children, servants* and others. After the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity, Ezra gathered the people together and read the law to them, explaining it carefully. Eighty years before Christ schools were held in the synagogues of Palestine in which attendance was compulsory. Jesus was probably a student in a school of this character. In the early church of Christ there were these schools. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, mentions the teacher as a separate and distinct officer in the church. Before the end of. the fifth century these schools were abandoned and were not restored for a thousand years. In the Middle Ages the Truth was not lost to the world even if its light was burning but dimly. It had been kept alive by the faithful effort of the cloistered monks, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. Luther and other reformers put the emphasis on Bible teaching and introduced catechisms. In spite of what they accomplished, these failed to fulfill their �THE FRIEND 16 Bhttle j Hhwhii Hymn of —• QT^w^f? »— Words by Anna C Dole. i June, 1910 Mu»ic by -AlA The Mary. D.

Growing out from the Wesley revival of the eighteenth century was the modern Sunday school, established by Robert Kaikes, his first school being founded in Golucester, England, in 1780. The success of these institutions was great, for in four years the enrollment reached a quarter of a million in spite of some purpose and the state and provincial Ix-xlies, the coun- and town organizations. The World's Union and the great World's Conventions have stirred up a tremendous interest in the Sunday schools, especially in mission lands.

But the liquor dealers and those people who through ignorance they make their ]>olitical allies continue to speak of the present prohibition movement as a "wave," and they keep their eyes fixed on the shore and cry day and night. "Now it is going to recede." Hut it is not a wave, and it will not recede. It is growth. It is science. It is human brotherhood. It is religion. It IS civilization, inarching and conquering. The liquor traffic ought to die for the same reason that a plague rat ought to die. and the process of their destruction is the same. It is easy to catch one rat and kill it. It is hard to catch them all. It takes time and traps and guns and poison and infinite industry. But the war on plague rats is no wave and it will not subside, until the rat peril has become a thing of the past. It is easy to close one saloon or bottle shop. It is hard to close them all. for they are the most cunning and burrowing and nocturnal of rodents. Hut it must be done. It will be done. Detectives will set traps for them. Restrictive legislation will put out poison. Towns, counties, territories and states will go gunning for the nuisances, and in the near future, the federal government will take the field against the whole black brood. In local option towns and counties, victory will swing backward and forward like a pendulum, now "wet," now "dry." Hut this is the beginning of the end of the most rattish, swinish, wolfish, hyenaish business that ever battened on. the ruin of mankind. The most striking, because the most recent sign of progress is the conversion of William J. Bryan to the prohibition side. Through years of political and moral leadership he has ignored the call of the prohibitionists. He thought he was hunting bigger game than the dram shop. But the growth and spread of the movement have at last got his attention, and convinced his judgment. And now at length, with characteristic bravery he shows his hand. Speaking in the Auditorium in Chicago, May 18, under the auspices of The Catholic Total Abstinence L'nion of America, he said, in part: Speaking for myself, I am not willing to sit down at a banquet with young men around and by my example teach them that it is safe or wise for them to drink liquor. No pleasure that I could get from a glass of wine, no satisfaction that I could derive from doing like people around me, would compensate me for the haunting thought that my example �might be just the little influence that would turn the scale in some man's mind who was struggling to free himself from the appetite for drink. I believe it is a good thing to sign a pledge. I said in the beginning that I had signed a great many. 1 havetoheard sign people say that they didn't want the pledge, that they didn't need to sign the pledge, that they didnt' want to confess, by signing a pledge, that they were so weak that they couldn't refuse to drink without a pledge. Well, that argument doesn't go with me, my friends; I don't know how it goes with you. 'The man may fool himself with that argument, but he dosen't fool me. Is it a sign of weakness for a man when he enters married life to take upon himself the marriage Why doesn't he say, "I will not v< w ? make any promise to her. It is a sign of weakness"? Is it a sign of weakness for a man when he assumes the responsibilities of office to raise his hand to heaven and swear, so hell) him God, that he will be faithful to the duties of that office ? Is that a sign of weakness? Is it a sign of weakness for a man to put in writing a thing that he agrees to? And, my friends, when a man refuses to sign a pledge and says he is not going to use liquor, it means that he has not made up his mind that he, will not do it. If he has made up his mind that he will not do it, there is no objection, and when he sees it he is stronger for having signed it. A man needs to be fortified by all the additional strength you can give him. Man is weak enough at best. But there is another reason. I said that the influence of example ought to have its effect on a man, that he ought to be anxious to set a good example, not to set a bad one, and so when we come to discuss the signing of a pledge, it is the point where a man comes out and declares himself. Until he has signed the pledge he is classed with the people who drink or may drink, but when he does sign the pledge his influence is over on the other side, and if a man had no other reason for signing a pledge he ought to sign it that others may know where he stands and that his position may have whatever influence it has on the right side. My friends, if a man is not going to drink, he can't give a good reason for not signing; as he is not going to have any of the pleasures of drinking, why should he deny himself the pleasure of having his influence help others to stop Hand Craft Wares YE ARTS & June, l'Mll THE FRIEND 18 drinking? < >f all men he has the least ex- May 2—\V.

But Balance at the Bank * - No. 5 this is merely self-preservation. It is excellent home missionary work. It also reacts favorably upon Asia, and thus has its foreign missionary bearing. But if this is all. then we can hardly consider ourselves worthy sons of noble sires. They gave up all to come here for Christ- ()ur gifts, though more than theirs in dollars and cents, are infinitely beneath theirs in spiritual value. It is another case of the widow's mite versus Dives' shekels. The Crux of the Situation. The time to show our relation to the work of our fathers then has come. We can demonstrate our fundamental sympathy with them by consecrating a large share of our material wealth to the work to which they gave their lives. We can do it at a time when it will count more than ever before or after. And for the reason that we men and women are of times and seasons. Birthdays, adversaries, centennials bulk large in our lives and ought so to do. If Hawaii comes to the October meeting with a gift, adequate to its missionary history and to its wealth concentrated in missionary families, it will say to the world more emphatically than is possible in any other way, "We of the second generation are true to our past. The great victory still moves en here. The spirit of tile fathers is the spirtf of the sons." creatures What Would They Do? If the first generation of missionary fathers and mothers were alive and in as full vigor as they were fifty years ago, what response would they make to the world-wide work of the American Board, provided they had the money now in the hands of their children and grand-children? This is a good question for us to ponder at this season when the Board reports such world wide opportunities for extension of its work as Christian history has never before shown. Here, for instance, are twenty great institutions of learning in mission lands, each with a remarkable past and facing a still more wonderful future, crowded with eager youths, and compelled by lack of resources to shut the door to many others just as enthusiastic who long to enter and be trained as Christian leaders. Each of these twenty institutions needs $100,000 endowment. The �4 gift of $25,000 would maintain permanently a trained American missionary teacher or several native professors. But this educational appeal is only one of many lines of work equally insistent. Hawaii is now in position to repay something of the effort spent upon it by the churches of America. That repayment is of the Christlike sort, not a paying back but a passing of some of the benefits received to others. But So Much Is Needed Here. Yes, and that was precisely what people said to Hiram Bingham, Asa Thurston, Samuel Whitney. William Richards. Artemas Bishop, (ierrit Judd. Peter Gulick, Dwight Baldwin, Sheldon Dibble, William Alexander, David Lyman, Richard Armstrong, Amos Cooke. Harvey Hitchcock, Samuel Castle, Lowell and James Smith, Titus Coan, Edwin Hall, Elias Bond, Daniel Dole, Samuel Damon, Abner Wilcox, William Rice, the Andrews and all the rest of their noble comrades before they left America. If they had heeded that word, Hawaii would have been doomed to beechcombers and the kind of civilization they foster. A loyal disciple of Jesus can never dodge such a contrast as is presented, for instance, by the following comparison. Honolulu with forty or fifty thousand people has five finely appointed hospitals, a number of dispensaries, hosts of well trained doctors, and nurses proone Chinese galore, while vince, Shansi, in which the American Board is at work, has twelve million people with not one modemly equipped hospital and only five white physicians—what the native doctors in China are, we all know. Much is needed in Honolulu, much is required in every Christian country, but that much is nothing compared with the needs of lands unreached by the Gospel. Fortunately there is adequate means both to meet the local need and to spare a very goodly sum for the American Missionary Centennial and so express Hawaii's sense of gratitude to Cod for all that the Gospel has meant to her. The Claim of Gratitude. It certainly is a golden occasion for Hawaiians as well as whites to join in a great memorial gift to the American Board. Not a few families with Hawaii an blood in their veins have large wealth. Why should not they speak just now. telling the world how much they apprc ciate the blessings of Christian civilization by transmuting their gratitude into large contributions towards sending the Gospel to those who have it not? It is to be hoped that all of our Hawaiian THE FRIEND, churches will join in a special centennial thankoffering to the American Board which shall show in tangible form their loyalty to their Savior in response to his If from Hawaiian great command. sources a gift of unusual proportions should go to Boston it would stir the heart of Christendom. But gratitude speaks as well to the rest of us who could scarcely have hoped for equal opportunity to acquire large wealth if our fathers had stayed in America. Doubtless we might have been well to do, but no such golden rewards would have been ours. And if we had not received the unique training in a missionary home our quality of manhood might have been distinctly inferior. We owe all to the schooling we had in the noble, unselfish missionary environment of the Hawaii of our childhood and youth. What have we done with our wealth for foreign missions to express our sense of indebtedness for this early training? Can we ever hope for a better time or opportunity titan the present centennial year of American missions? Certainly no occasion will enable our gifts to do more in stirring the world's missionary interest than an honestly selfdenying gift to the old Board —a gift which will not merely show on our ledgers but which we shall actually feel. Fortunately this movement has already begun. One of our missionary families has made a gift of $25,000 to the permanent funds of the American Board for the extension of its work. Outside of this noble gift Central L'nion Church also reports by several times the largest missionary offering in its history. We believe this to be only the commencement of the good things to come. The Special Election. At last the American nation in the possible, by special resolution of Congress signed by the President, has called upon Hawaii to express its conviction upon the most important social question that mankind today faces- It is the first occasion of the kind in human history and it is to the lasting credit of Hawaii that it is the recipient of this great honor. For it is an honor thus to be singled out of all the territories since our nation began its existence. The very gravity of the question submitted to our votes adds to the impressiveness of the responsibility. The eyes of the entire world are upon us. Our action will affect for weal or woe numberless other people. We can deal tlu most signal blow at the dreaded and hated liquor traffic that it has ever yet received, because what we do will influence Asia as well as America. It is well, then, that we enter upon the campaign as upon a solemn, sacred crusade. Let most solemn way May, 1910 it be raised to the very highest plane oi civic and religious duty. We fight for larger ends than we now can guess. The voice of July 26 will in reality be the cry of a sacrificed race. In pathos this election will rival any plebiscite ever taken on earth. If the pent-up feelings of all the Hawaiians who since the great Kainchaineha's day have suffered at tin hands of the liquor curse could only fine' vent on the day of election the result would astonish the world. Of coursi the liquor forces are already beginning to befog the issue by personal inuendc and by appeals to the passions of the Hawaiians. Bttt we believe this will not prove successful. The Hawaiian is remarkably susceptible to nobler considerations, and his intuitions are naturally trustworthy. Unworthy men may at times stampede him as well as the rest of mankind by some sudden specious movement. But give him time to think and he responds nobly both to reason and conscience. Hence the result of July 26 is not unpromising. Nevertheless, the fight is ever to the resourceful and untiring- The battle must be carried in*' every possible sphere. In it every available person must be enlisted. Not only the men, but women and children should be enrolled. The question affects vitally the family and every resource the family presents must be utilized. The Church is also deeply concerned, and here we have a forum unequalled in a great civic battle. Fortunately politics is entirely divorced from the issue. The parties have voted to stand aside and suffer the fight to be waged on the neutral ground of a preeminent moral question. We thank them for this wisdom and this exposition of high civic spirit. Fortunately the liquor interests themselves are divided. Two of the better firms have served notice on the Liquor Dealers' Association that they are not in the fight. That is good. It is to be hoped that more will follow this patriotic action. It is the twentieth century, and therefore it behooves business houses to honor ethical considerations. I'rotherhood ought to lead every liquor house in the Islands to desert the cause of alcohol and rally tc the side of humanity in this fight. Perhaps more of them will do so ere the battle is over. Meantime let the campaign be conducted on the most aggressive and comprehensive lines possible. The Quiet Work Already Done. While the rest of us have been waiting for Congress to act, the Hawaiians with fine faith in the moral sense of nation, the have been quietly organizing- They seem to have scented the blood of their race in this contest am' to have realized that with them the piebiscite is a life and death matter.

The doctor and Mrs. Burdette were visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Penhallow. He spoke to a packetl house at Union Church. A number came in machines from Spreckelsvillc, Paia and Kahului to hear this famous man. In the morning he attended Waihee convention, antl said he would not have missed it for a great deal. He and Mrs. Burdette were delighted with all the work of the day. It has given us the greatest joy tc take in seven new members into Union Church. This brings our roll up to a goodly number- There is prospect that several more will join soon. Our frequent additions more and more prove the need of a union church in Wailuku.

Jl Peace Day Ammunition. The New York Peace Society has issued an illustrated folder that gives us some conception of the loss sustained by our country in spending 70 per cent of its national income for war purposes. We cull a few of the statements. $1,072,000,000 represents the increase of expeneliture in the last eight years, over and above the average which was spent in the previous eight years. This eight year increase exceeds the national debt by $158,000,000. obsolete. I visited recently the vast armada that assembled in the Thames for public inspection. More than one hundred and fifty modern engines of war of every description they numbered, and they cost the British nation more than three hundred million dollars; and yet within two or three years practically three-fourth of this fleet will be obsolete. This, too, despite the fact that the oldest battleship in the great double line five miles in length was launched only eleven years ago. This ship, the Albion, would be completely at the mercy of the Superb, the youngest of the fleet. The newer vessel could choose her range, and her crushing armament of ten twelve-inci guns is deadly at a distance of four miles. The Albion's shells would not pierce the Superb's armor, while the latter's missiles would all go through the older ship's plating. Practice records show that with a target the size of Albion at four miles range the unhappy ship would almost certainly be riddled and sunk by the newest battleship within ten minutes.'

The Scribe's Corner The Oahu At the meeting of the Oahu Association at Kaumakapili church April 6-9, the new policy was inaugurated of having sectional meetings for the different nationalities during two hours of the first day's session. With the concerted working out of this plan, valuable results arcto be expected. All our Associations have approved of this policy, and have also adopted the recommendation of the Hawaiian Board that the gist of all important business be translated into Hawaiian. At this Association it was announcetl that a bulletin card would soon be issued to be hung in a prominent place in each of our churches stating the three principal objects of benevolence and their dates of collection. The matter of increasing the salaries of Hawaiian minisisters was thoroughly discussetl, and Rev. J. P. Erdman presented a scheme whereby it was shown that it was possible for the churches to increase the salaries of ministers materially by systematic giving. This scheme aroused great interest, and should bear fruit. May, THE FRIEND, A Beautiful Tribute. To one who is in doubt as to the value of missions, the reception given to Mother Rice by the members of the Association at Lihue would have been a surprising spectacle. For it was spontaneous and genuine, with real depth of feeling and of affectionate regartl. It was a brief and simple scene. Mother Rice came with her grand-daughter and her nurse in an automobile to the native church, where the Association was in session. The Association immediately adjourned and gathered in a body near Mother Rice, where they greeted her personally and sang two of her favorite hymns, viz., "Rock of Ages," and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Even the women at work preparing the noon repast drew near, and sang, "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us." It was a touching tribute to one whose service and gifts have meant so much to missionary effort among Hawaiians: and it was most appropriatethat it should mark one of the memorable m occasions of what we hope will be a meThe Kauai Meeting. morable year.

Central Union News A. A. EBERSOLE How It Was Done. Mention was made in last month's record breaking Easter offering at Central I'nion. ()ur readers might be interested to know how it was tlone. The total, as finally tabulated, was $30,571.25. The gift of $25,000 for permanent investment, the income to be used in exteneling the Board's work, was made through one of our families by one of its members. The causes to be aieled the present year will be indicated on our calendar so that we all may follow the contribution with our prayers. Of the $5571.25 for current expenditure $1300 represents the gift of one group of families in aid of the Hoard's Mission in Shansi. China, and is equivalent to a little more than 5 per cent interterest on a principal of $25,000- $1200 is our church's regular contribution to the support of Nauru Missions. $1125 represents additional gifts to Nauru Mission for better equipment, for supplies and for the liquidation of the debt upon the church and missionary residence.

If the Bishop returns to Honolulu next year we sincerely hope he maybe heard again in Central Union. Not for many a year has Central Union had such excellent Easter music. The chorus choir under the able leadership of Mr. Stanley Livingston, has been steadily improving for the past two years and the anthems which they rendered Easter morning and evening were among the best they have yet sung. The quartet, which has at last been made a possibility by the acquisition of Mr. Philip Hall's beautiful tenor voice, sang at both services to the delight of all. What would Easter be without music? Another Branch Church. The calendar for Easter Day contained the glael Easter announcement that the trustees had purchased a beautifully located lot of one and a half acres in the center of the College Hills tract for our future Manoa Valley branch. One half of the purchase price was provided for by three gifts of $400 each, and the other half is to be paid in one and two years. This inaugurates an important movement.

Mention was made in the last issue of The Friend of the splendid gifts made for Foreign Missions on Easter Day. The Bible School was given a real treat in the special Easter program which the superintendent had arranged for the morning. Mrs. L L. McCandless gave several appropriate readings, Mr. Hall sang a solo, Mr. Love rendered one of his exquisite violin solos, and Rev. Henry P. Judd, who happened to spend Easter day at home, addressed the school on the meaning of Easter Day- It was a very pleasant change from the conventional Easter Day exercises usually held participated in by the various Sunday schools of the church. In the evening the Methoelists joined with us in a union service under the auspices of the Men's League. Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, D.

A special effort will be made between now and the June communion to bring a number of the yemng people of the Bible school and church to decide to avow their faith in Christ, and come and unite with the church. The time is opportune, a large number of our young people are eligible, and if there can be united prayer and earnest personal effort we believe many of them will come. May God grant it. ja A Welcome Innovation. At the last meeting of the Women's Society the question of removal of hats at the Sunday services was taken up, and after some discussion three-fourths of those present expressed their determination to practice this reform. There has been an encouraging response both Sundays since the announcement was made.

Hawaii Cousins The annual meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, held on April 16th, at the Old Mission Home, was one of unusual interest. The business part of it, referring chiefly to the gift of the Chamberlain property and the Forbes house adjoining, with plans for fitting them up for future use, was found so interesting that the larger part of the literary program was left for the adjourned meeting, to be held at Arcadia, the beautiful home- of Governor and MrsFrear. There was read, however, a long, in- teresting, and valuable paper concerning the old Chamberlain House, written by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, himself an octogenarian. It was full of history and incidents connected with the olden time, and will be published in the H. M. C. annual report. A quartette of singers from Kaiulani Home kindly furnished the music, "The Beautiful Land of Somewhere," "and "A Wonderful Message They Bring," which were sung sweetly and in excellent harmony. The decorations, also, were in harmony with everything. That star-like flower, called by the- Hawaiians, "The Star of Bethlehem." was used, and was made, by Mrs. Weaver's exquisite taste and deft fingers, to droop over pictures and doors and trail into odd corners, just as the wonderful message of the real Star of Bethlehem brings out the beauty of every soul, and decorates and brightens the corners of the earth. The meeting was very informal—a sort of home-coming, one musician remarking that here was where she took her first music lesson, pointing out the spot where the piano stood, and recalling the thoughts and emotions of the time, and her teacher's words; and after singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," one lady said "That was the last hymn I heard my father sing." And she recalled his appearance, standing on a bale of cotton in the boat, singing "Waft, waft, ye winds his story." �THE 10 FRIEND what I would gladly pay it for allowing This statement is probably true of every great professor at our Professor George Herbert Palmer, of universities.

May, 191C The teacher must have an orderly mind so as to give out the work of his classes in a natural order. Many let their work tumble out of them. Every teacher should lay out his work carefully. All of his work must be looked at from the student jxiint of view. A good motto for a teacher is: "Ixiok not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." A true teacher is always meditating his work, disciplining himself for his professiem, probing the problems of his glorious art, and seeing illustrations of it everywhere. In only one place is the teacher freeel from such criticism, and that place is in his own class-room. Here he must let himself go, unhampered by theory. He must forget himself and make his class forget themselves. The writer can testify that Professor Palmer always succeeded in making classes forget where they were. On leaving his classrooms our minds continued to dwell on the avenues of thought he suggested. After eighteen years I still think over the subjects he made us consider. 2. Accumulated wealth. Every teacher must have wealth in himself if he will succeeel—in resourcefulness, in richness of thought, in sympathetic relation to his work. Our pupils draw their nourishment from us. If we are poor, they will be poor. We are their source of supply. If we cut ourselves off from nutrition we enfeeble them. How often teachers do this, deelicating themselves to the immediate needs of those about them, they go on speneling themselves and grow thinner each year. The "teacher's face" is a common term, and who is not familiar with the reality, a face meager, anxious, worn, sacrificial, powerless! The teacher shoultl be the big, bounteous being of the community. Supplying a multitude he needs wealth sufficient for a multitude. He must clutch at knowledge everywhere. In preparing his lecture, or his presentation of his subject before the class, the hardest work is to settle on the things that are not to be said. The too obvious should be omitted. For these things are not enough. There must be the broad background. 1 cannot teach up to the edge of my knowledge without a fear of falling off. To teach a small thing well, we must be large. A true teacher will accumulate wealth, not only for his pupil's sake, but also for his own. To be a great, teacher, one must be a great personality. Without ardent and individual tastes the roots of our being are not fed. Each teacher should have some interest unconnected with his official work. This interest may take any form, but it should be a real one. Be not satisfied with the attaining of a little. We must have accumulated wealth. The great �THE FRIEND.

Cigarettes in Peking. The visitor to Peking, as he travels along the great street from the East gate to the West of the Chinese city, will notice high up over the houses a great sign board. It is American advertising! On this board he will -see a large picture from 8 to 10 feet high, of a fierce looking foreigner, who stands by a canon and holds a drawn sword in his hand. Over his head is the wortl "Pirate." By the side e)f the picture in clear Chinese characters are the words "Ying" "Mci" "English" "American." It is in the sign of the great Tobacco Trust which hopes soon to be the largest business in China, and seeks to sell cigarettes to the milllions all over the Empire. Are the people of Christian England and America glad to appear before the Chinese as the "Pirates" of their money and their health ? By the siele of this Foreign Pirate is another equally large picture of a Rooster crowing over cigarettes, as if to say; "The American and English " Pirates " have been successful! With sword and canon they have come to your land, they are taking millions of money, and leave you the opium and cigarette to ruin your homes and destroy the health of your children. You are bounel by a habit most difficult to break and must continue to pay us your hartl earned dollars. The "Pirate" is victorious! Ha! Ha! Ha! Is not this the meaning of the pictures ? And not only on this street but all over the city and the empire are these and other pictures telling of the great exploitation of China by the sale of cigarettes. A great picture of the English-American "Pirate," 10ft. high also greets one on the city wall as the train comes to a stop at the railroad station in Peking. The same picture is seen by thousands all over the land on city gates, on temples and schools and even on the walls of the Imperial city. All Learning to Smoke. I am told by a man in this business that over two million dollars are spent annually in China for advertising and placing the cigarettes on the market. It is said tnat the two great centres of Shanghai and Hankow turn out some twenty milion cigarettes per day. With such energy to force a harmful habit on China, with such earnestness to secure her money, with such "Pirate" advertising to attract her attention, can one be (Continued on page 18) �THE 12 May, 1910 FRIEND the erection of the building and to the encouragement of the Association, must certainly have something in its essence that commends itself to all men. I had the pleasure of being in Shanghai when the great and beautiful building there for Chinamen was dedicated. Indeed, I took part in the ceremony, and sat on the dais with a number of prominent Chinese officials, who were not Christians, but who were there to testify of the wemderful work that the Association had done. I don't know where all the money comes from that erects these great, handsome buildings for the Young Men's Christian Association. Every town that I visit, it seems to me, is inspired by an ambition to put up a building for the Young Men's Christian Associatiem that is just a little more elaborate, just a littlemore accompanying, just a little moreextensive, and testifies to just a littlemore interest in the Association than the building in the town in the next county. That shows a most healthful spirit of competition. It shows the vigor of the Association. I do not know of any place where money can be invested with greater certainty of its expenditure for that for which money ought to be given than in the Young Men's Christian Association. It is because you do your work on business principles, -and because you have men in charge of your work who are trained to it and who understand what the eibject of the Association is and the best method of reaching it. The truth is, I have had so much experience with the matter that 1 would not undertake any great government enterprise without consulting the head of the International Young Men's Christian Association to see- what the- supply of secretaries is.

We- have just inserted a secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association on one of our great battleships. He is working quietly he is not making a fuss he is not soliciting subscriptions for a building on the ship—but he is doing business ; he is commending himself to all the officers and to all the men, and certainly the result of the experiment will be a most interesting one to see how the Association can work with the rest of our 40,000 or 50,000 sailors.

The rejx)rts of the secretaries at the annual meeting Thursday night, April 28 were listened to by the largest number of members attending an annual meeting in many years; and these members heard reports that showed growth away aheael of any previous year. In OOC year the membership has grown from 485 to 700, the enrollment in the night school from 114 students to 229 students, and religious meetings for men are held at six different places outside the association building. The attendance at socials, —rountl-ups as they are called —grew from an average of 87 to 158. Thirty-two positions were found for men and boys during the year. Many men have been helped live better lives, elrawn away from religious indifference, and seven have joined the church as a direct result of association work. The physical department has conducted 202 classes, and 243 members have used the privileges of the gymnasium and tennis courts. Dr. Hand gave 59 physical examinations. Election.

"The Time Is Not Ripe." Under this title Paul Kennaday, writing in the "Survey," calls attention to a fallacy which has proved most fatal and destructive to many a movement for social improvement It is in connection with Senator ( hvcn's bill to apply some of our conservation enthusiasm to the immediate and crying opportunity, namely the safeguarding of public health, that Mr. Kennaday speaks. The measure in question proposes the creation of a department of health, its head to sit as a member of the President's cabinet.

The circle is concentrically divided to form an interior avenue four yards broad, to permit of communication with the center of the circle. Each avenue leads to external sidewalks, and to longitudinal and transverse streets. In the center of the circle is a plot of 40 yards in diameter, where the children may be left to themselves without their parent's care, in charge of a specially designated person- In this garden a playroom, a school, a hospital, a fire station, and an administration room are to be found. Naturally this circular plot of ground will leave four corners free.

J> In a public discussion on the temperance question a few months ago at Chicago, between the mayor of Milwaukee defending the- liquor business, and Mr Dickey, his Opponent, the mayor asked: "What will the poor farmers of the West do if they cannot sell their grain to the brewers?" Mr. Dickey replied "In that case they will raise- more horses and hogs and less hell. : nis exact words, but the substance of his remark was that nearly all the churches' of the mainland were rejecting creeds as "unchristian shibboleths." This is indeed true, and the tendency to such an onward and progressive growth Is so strong and persistent that where the denomination to which a particular church belongs attempts to restrict this advance, the particular church separates itself from the denomination. If the church remains unprogressive, unwillng to prove all things for the sake of the truth, the individual either Joins a more liberal church or he maintains an attitude of silent protest which Is not at all conducive to his helpfulness as a worker. How much better for the whole denomination to accept the Inevitable, especially as that Is a Btate of more simple and Christlike belief, for the church to come up to the advnnce thought of the best and most reasonable and conscientious scholars. For instance, a Unitarian church in Massachusetts has lately been received Into the general Congregational body as a Unitarian church, to give up not one of Its distinctive principles. This was done because it Beemed best for purposes of helpfulness and work, both being engaged in Christian endeavor. So, too, because the Baptist denomination was not as far-sighted and earnest about the real work of Christianity—Christ's mission on carth —Dr. I'inkham of Denver, with his large and Influential church of that city, has Just been received into the Unitarian denomination. The Kplscopal church has always allowed a wide margin for differences of belief In Its adherents, and we find In it many liberals like Andrew 1). White and others who no more accept the creeds of that church than Dr. Hale did. They love the Bervice and the associations and are called Kpiscopalians. Dr. Hrundage left the same church because he was more sensitive. "I must find a church that would receive me upon my own termß, that would require of me no creed subscription whatsoever, that would leave me perfectly free to preach what I believed to be the truth." And so have sixtythree ministers left churches which Insist upon certain tests of belief, to Join liberal organizations—sixty-three in America In the last four months! ltishop Huntington of New York, In a paper written only a few years before his death and while he was a bishop, says: •'ln a church which, like our own, has committed its organic law to writing, the — •Not "nearly all," but "many."—Hd. ... ... obligation, but 'as the church hath received the same'?

He used to say that his legs were .. .. not adapted to apostolic hosiery. Before quoting the "Evangelist's" answer to his solicitous correspondent I want to quote a very few things from one or two of Phillips Brooks' sermons. He was one of the greatest men the Episcopal church has had In modern times the very greatest In America. He stood In the breach, as It were, preaching the great love of the Father for all his children, avoiding controversy when he could, patching up denominational differences, applying truth. His attitude towards those of different belief was that of a seeker after truth, not that "Let us reverence our of a dogmatist. neighbors' way of finding truth," he said, and to his genial sympathy came young ministers of all denominations, Including Unitarians, to bask and derive spiritual warmth. His ministerial friendships were chiefly among liberals; he said of Dr. Freeman Clarke, "He belonged to the whole Church ot Christ.

In man, that lifts up the man and sayß, 'For Unitarians and Trinitarians is a metaphyme to be brutal is unmanly, to be divine is sical one, rather than religious. The orthodox theology says that Jesus was divine, to be my true self.'" Here was the basis for the unity of churches, as defined by Bishop Brooks, quite different from the following, which I find in "The Church Chronicle" of June, 1909: "No Christian unity can be even discussed on any other basis than the facts as contained in the Catholic creeds. Fancy going to the heathen about us with Christ as only one among many teachers. If we can no longer go to them with Christ as the Savior of the world, we had better cease to work." In other words, the Important thing the church has to do is not to infuse the spirit of Christ in the hearts of men, but to get them to say "Lord, Lord," to acknowledge that there Is only one way of looking at a much disputed historical account, and that this way is fully defined in a particular credo. Speaking of orthodoxy, Phillips Brooks said: "We find that the lower orders of the church's workers, the mere runners of her machinery, have always been strictly and scrupulously orthodox, while all the church's noblest servants, they who have opened to her new heavens of vision and new domains of work—Paul, Orlgen, Tertullian, Abelard, Luther, Milton, Coleridge, Maurice, Swedenborg, Martineau—have been persecuted for being what they truly were, unorthodox." "Orthodoxy In the church," continues Dr. Brooks "Is very much what prejudice is in the single mind. It is the premature conceit of certainty! It is the treatment of the imperfect as If it were perfect. We cannot but believe that In the future the whole conception of orthodoxy is destined to grow less and less prominent. Less and less will men ask of any opinion, 'Is It orthodox?' More and more will they ask, 'Is it true?' Is not the sum of the whole matter this, that orthodoxy as a principle of action or a standard of belief, is obsolete and dead? It is not that the substance of orthodoxy has been altered but that the very principle of orthodoxy has been essentially disowned. It is not conceivable that any council, however ecumenically constituted, should so pronounce on truth that Its decrees should have any weight with thinking men save what might seem legitimately to belong to the character and wisdom of the persons who composed the council. Personal Judgment is on the throne, and will remain there,—personal Judgment, enlightened by all the wisdom, past and present, which it can summon to Its aid, but forming finally its own conclusions, and standing by them in the sight of God, whether it stands in a great company or stands alone." Now we come to the editor's answer to his troubled correspondent: "I would not, of course, presume to answer the question, for no one knows of what avail the prayer of any one Is except God. Personally, I imagine he would hear anyone's prayer, be he Moslem, Buddhist, Unitarian or Trinitarian, Protestant or Roman Catholic. I Imagine, from what Jesus tells us of his character, that he Is glad even when sinners pray to him. But In connection with this question, I would think that we all of us ought to be very careful how we Judge people who differ from us in theological and metaphysical realms, but are one with us in character and devotion to Christ. And it was on the latter point that Jesus always laid the emphasis. Not him who ex- — and that no other man is divine or can possess the same kind of divinity. The Unitarian says that Jesus is divine, but that God reveals himself in other men also, and that humanity has the potential divinity of Jesus in it. The orthodox theology Is that the oneness of Jesus with the Father is a metaphysical oneness: i.e., a oneness of person. The Unitarian theology emphasizes Jesus' oneness with God Just as much, but says it is a moral oneness, a oneness of purpose, spirit and character. The orthodox theology has generally made his divinity consist in his having unique power to work miracles or do wonders. The Unitarian theology has said that his divinity is in his love and character and sacrificial life. Both theologies are one in emphasizing the great fact that God was in Jesus Christ revealing his love to the world and reconciling the world to himself and the people in it to each other. Perhaps my correspondent might And some help to answering this question by asking herself whether, when she sings in the following hymns, she is praying acceptably to God: 'Nearer, My God, To Thee,' 'In the Cross of God I Glory,' 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear That Glorious Song of Old,' 'Immortal Love, Forever Full, Forever Flowing Free.' These were all written by Unitarians." Now all this evidence that Dr. Scudder was exactly correct in what he said about creeds, comes from unquestioned orthodox sources the strongest statements, indeed, being by adherents of the Episcopal Church. Some years ago I attended Trinity Church, Boston because the preaching there and a large mass of the membership were as liberal as I wished to find anywhere. Here is a short quotation from a sermon by Dean Stanley issued as a Unitarian tract and entitled "Our Common Christianity": "Christianity is what it is by the fact that there once lived upon earth a sacred and divine life—sacred and divine because it was supremely good; because it was above the limitations of time, country and party; because it revealed to mankind the fullest insight ever given Into the heart of the Eternal and Supreme; and Christianity shall be what it may yet become, in proportion as that life or anything like it, is lived over again in personal example and influence." Andrew D. White, one of the most distinguished Episcopalians living, has this to say about the creeds of his church: "I attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church. I Joined occasionally in reciting part of the creeds though more and more this last exercise became peculiarly distasteful to me. (The objections made by intelligent young candidates for the ministry.) Time has but confirmed the opinion which I then began to bold, that, of all mistaken usages In a church service, the most unfortunate is this demand which confronts a man who would gladly unite with Christians in Christian work, and in a spirit of loyaly to the Blessed Founder of Christianity—the demand that such a man stand and deliver a creed, made no one knows where or by whom, and of which no human being can adjust the meanings to modern knowledge, or indeed to human comprehension. Various things combined to increase my distrust in I became conthe prevailing orthodoxy. vinced that what the world needed was more religion rather than less, more devotion to humanity and less preaching of dogmas.." . In his "Organization of the Early Christian Churches" and "Influence of Greek Ideas and Usages," Rev. Dr. Edwin Hatch, the well known Episcopalian scholar, Rhows conclusively that many of the dogmas found in the creeds were not even suggested by the teachings of Jesus that "the essential elements of Christianity" are found in the affirmations of Just such a simple covenant as the Kahului church on Maui adopted a few months ago. Such covenants were adopted by the Plymouth Church in 1602, and by the Salem church in 1609. The Old South Church (Congregational) has given up its creed, while Andover, and nearly all the other best schools of the same order of faith, have dropped their creedal requirements. When I attended Rev. R. Heber Newton's church in New York, with many of my physician friends of the Post Graduate School and Hospital, we knew that we should hear liberal doctrine. There the creeds are practically abandoned. The Unitarians are not spoken of in a patronizing way, or liberalism as if it were all error. This is what Heber Newton says of Unitarianism: "The true work of Unitarianism is not to be studied in its year book, or gauged by its statistical results. Its mission is to be sought in the insistent push of the thought it has quickened, and the principles it has sown through the larger bodies of orthodox Christianity. It has sought to educe from the traditional formulas fresh and living conceptions, new and higher forms of the substance of all beliefs. Truly it is a noble claim for any church that its mission is to call the various sects on to that which they all concede to be the substance of their varying forms, and to reunite them in a religion of the spirit." And this "religion of the spirit" is that to which we are nearing in the rejection of the metaphysical creeds. E. S. GOODHUE, M. D. Holualoa, Hawaii. . Jt O heart of mine, we shouldn't Worry so!

JUDD The Oahu Association. The Oahu Sunday School Association held its semi-annual meeting in the Kauinakapili Church, Honolulu, from April ()th-Bth. The attendance was larger than than usual and the interest in all the proceedings was sustained throughout the meetings. No raelical changes were made in the system of working and the usual routine of reports and business occupied most of the time. The Home Department committee, consisting of Revs. Erdman, Nakuina and Judd, presented their report, in which it was recommended that Mr. Erdman take up the matter of starting this new form of work in the Sunday schools of Oahu. The advantages of the Home Department work were brought out in the report, which was accepted by the Association. The list of visiting superintendents nominated for the ensuing year is practically the same as the past year, there being but one one change, while the other officers were re-elected. The World's Convention. The attention of all friends of Sunday school work is called to the coming great convention to be held in Washington, D. C, from May 19-24. It is the World's Sixth Sunday School Convention and promises to be the largest as well as the finest convention ever held in the interests of the Sunday schools of the world. It would be a splendid thing if several delegates could be present from these islands to receive inspiration from the mighty gathering. At the present time the superintendent has not heard of anyone who intends to be present from Hawaii- He would be glad to communicate with anyone desiring to learn more about this great gathering. J» World's Sunday School Day. The chairman of the eexcutive committee of the Worlds' Sunday School Association, Mr. Geo. W. Bailey, has requested me to spread abroad the notice that Sunday, May 22nd, is World's Sunday School Day. It is requested that all pastors in these islands on that daypreach a sermon emphasizing the claims of the Sunday school as a factor in the development of Christian character, urging upon parents and guardians the importance of training children and youth in the knowledge of the Scriptures and including in his prayers a petition for the blessing of Almighty Gixl upon the work of the Sunday school in all lands, and especially upon the World's Sunday School convention which at that time will be in session in Washington, D. C. Let us not forget to make fitting recognition of the day. The Home Department. In view of the fact that the Oahu Association has taken steps to introduce th« Home Department into the schools of Oahu, it is worth while for us to notice some of the features of the work. The department is a department of the Sunelay school in which those are enrolled who feel themselves unable to attend the sessions regularly, and yet are willing to study the lessons and belong to the school. The members are expected to study the Sunday school lesson each week for at least half an hour, to visit the school sessions when convenient, to make an offering to the school if it is possible, to keep a weekly record of lessons, visits to Sunday school and offering. The visitor pays a visit to the home of each member at least once a quarter, receiving his tpiarterly report of lesson study, and his contribution and leaving with him the lesson help and envelope for the next (juarter. a Good Teacher. The majority of Sunday school teachers are "just folks," good, wholesome genuine Christians. They are neither college graduates nor ignoramuses. For the most part they are busy people, working every day. Many are young people, and are not yet matured in the business of life, nor the philosophy of Christianity. They have had an experience- They are willing to be witnesses. The very sincerity of their service often leads them to depreciate their own capacity and to relinquish the task they have begun. I believe more people are reached through their hearts than through their heads. Heart answers to heart in teaching. Yet there is doubtless a later period, in which our youth should get a constructive viewpoint. I am sure the best-trained teacher is none too good for this important business. 1 want to see both Peter and Paul in the teaching force.

How to Become 17 The Sunday school teacher must know what he is to teach, yet he must in addition i>ossess another more essential qualification—consecration to Christ. Turn to the New Testament and there learn how to teach from the Master Teacher. Jesus was a model teacher. The educational world has submitted his method to the severest test. The Bible should be the teacher's textbook, and the whole Bible should be diligently studied. The teacher who never studies more than the lesson portion can never teach well. The Bible must be studied in a larger way; the meaning and relation of its books must be known. There is no easy road to Bible knowledge. Continual, prayerful, searching of the Word is the only method that will bring results- No teacher can teach what he does not know : no teacher can urge truth which he himself will not accept; no teacher can know the Word who will not obey it. The pupil must be studied in all his relations to work and play, church and home and school, alone and in company with other pupils. We must study sympathetically, not simply with curiosity; win your way into the inner life of your pupil by means of love, patience, tact and prayer. BOOK REVIEWS The Suitable Child.

Never fear, never fear, We'll vote away Goliath. 2 From the silence and the shadows where our mothers weep and pray With their patient hands uplifted 'gainst the woe they cannot slay, We have heard a voice entreating us to sweep the curse away— "The whisky shops must go." 2 Come malihini, come, kamaaina, Vote saloons from our pae aina, Vote 'em out, vote 'em out, Vote 'em out and save the land. They have struck at wives and mothers, Now let's strike at them, my brothers, Vote 'em out, vote 'em out, Vote 'em out and save the land. 3 Come, malihini, come, kamaaina, Vote saloons from our pae aina, Vote 'em out, vote 'em out, Vote 'em out and save the land.

We predict that I this election, if held, will do more for the individual character of the home, the state, the church, and for social life here than anything that has ever occurred before in the history of the Islands, with the single exception of the revolt against Hawaii's idols led by QaeCfM Keopuolani and Kaalnmianu. The women led ami prevailed then. Let the women once more lead and prevail For Congress committed a great historic and social blunder when it failed to read the story of the Hawaiian people aright, and denied t<> the women the right to express themselves effectively, a right fairly won by them in that great social and religious uprising against the cruel tabu and cruder gods of the ancient regime.

The thought of a new club in Honolulu is enough to make the busy citizen shudder. Hut when the enigma of this latest candidate for dues, offices and extra engagements is explained to mean a chance to get rid of the nightmare of too much to do, when it calls up the vision of easy, enticing, well-kept paths leading close from home into the heart of our woodsy mountains direct to some dry cabin where one may find food and stay all night, l.ay when the dream expands into a network of clearly-marked trails from Koko Head to Waialee, skipping over to the Waianae range, opening every lovely \ alley, soaring up to every enchanting viewpoint, punctuated with convenient rest houses making possible fresh tramps for weeks without a moment's thought of the stuffy city, one wakes up shouting "Count me in."That this is no trance experience the character of the men who are handling this newest and sanest of 1 lonolulu's clubs attests. They are men who have tasted the intoxi cation of (lahu's mountain air, and know what sort of ozone it holds for the jaded, nerve-worn slave of work. They arc determined that the treasures of the matchless valleys and palis of this entire group of islands shall DC made available to the owner of two stout legs phis a modicum of small ihange ownable by any workingman. The Travel Club should be the most popular organization in the Territory. The Peace Propaganda. The Gibraltar of the Pacific should be made the Mecca of the world's peace lovers. No place offers such rare advantages. This tornado-less group of islands is Mother Earth's consummate contribution to the cause of Human Good Will. Here war has not raged for more than a century. I lere men of all races live as brothers to a degree unknown elsewhere in the history of mankind I lere the most puissant of nations is concentrating its deadliest engines of war in order to demonstrate how quickly they will become obsolete. Millions arc being expended to build a drydock that may be out of date for war vessels shortly after Forts are in the course its completion. of erection that please God shall never fire a gun with intent to kill.

A.. Mr. John F. Mopre came all the way from New York City to spend twelve days with the association men of Honolulu, studying local conditions with a view to mapping out a policy for the next few years. The trip of 11000 miles was well worth while, Mr. Moore's wide experience as an association secretary during the past twenty years giving him an insight into the needs of the men of a city and the methods that In addition to a nummeet these needs. ber of conferences with individuals and committees, Mr. Moore spoke 22 times in 11 days. The work of the visit can best be reported under the following heads: 1. Shops.—At the Honolulu Iron Works, 102 men gathered one noon hour to hear an address on men's fundamental needs. This visit and address gave an opportunity to study local shop men. A similar group of 28 men attended the meeting at Catton Neil] & Cos shops. 2. Soldiers—This phase of the local situation interested Mr. Moore exceedingly. He organized the association work at Camp Alger during the SpanishAmerican war, so was on familiar ground in a military camp. Mr. McCandless took Mr. Moore and some of the officers of the Y. M. C. A. to Schofield Barracks at Leilehua, where they were shown over the post by Colonel Schueyler. There are 576 men at this post with no religious influences whatever. The chaplains who have been there have had about as much religious influence as a saloon. The colonel favors the placing of a Y. M. C. A. secretary here, and Mr. Moore will try to get the International Committee to place a man at this needy post. A meeting of 110 men gathered to hear Mr. Moore at Fort Ruger, and a conference was held with Captain Timberlake. Here both officers and men are very friendly to the Association, and it is a fine post, of about 200 men. Fort Shafter was visited, and last, Camp Very, where 300 marines are stationed. Of these about 200 turned out to hear an evangelistic address, and voted to have a regular meeting every two weeks. Bi-weekly meetings have been held at Fort Ruger for some time. The Association will add the marine barracks to its extension work. 3. Railroad —No phase of Mr. Moore's visit was more satisfactory than T the railroad end of it. L nusual courtesies were extended by the officials. A special in charge of Mr. bred Smith took Mr. Moore over the entire system. One night 130 of the citizen employes over to I lalciwa Hotel to a dinner to hear Mr. Moore talk on the Railroad Y. M .C. A. A similar dinner was given at the Palama Settlement gymnasium to the Japanese employes, where the address wa.s repeated, the stereopticon being used ii. both cases. At these meetings the men cheered the company to the echo, the "hurrahs" of one group and the "banzais" of the other showing the great loyalty of the men to the system and their appreciatii>n of their fine treatment. Cona special took MR. JOHN F. MOORE ferences were held with Messrs. Dillingham, Denison and Smith, and other heads of departments. All are anxious to have a special Railroad Y. M. C. A. with a secretary giving all his time to the railroad men, and a building for the employes. Over 75,000 railroad men belong to over 240 such associations, and it is likely that the O. R. and L. men will soon be added to the list. The officials have wanted to do welfare work for the men for some time, and have decided that the Y. M. C. A. is the proper method. 4. Association.—At the Y. M. C. A. itself a number of meetings were held, the chief ones being the members' meeting, attended by 170 members, a directors' meeting, conferences with the mem- April, 1910 bership, physical and building committees, a talk to the employed boys of the gymnasium, and a talk to the students of the educational department one night after classes had been dismissed. A final conference with directors, trustees and committee chairmen was called to hear recommendations based on the study of the field. 5. Church—Three addresses were made in Central Union Church. Two on the only Sunday of the visit, and a stereopticon talk on the "Worldwide Association Movement" one Wednesday night. Mr. Moore is an excellent speaker and made a fine impression at all these meetings. 5. Pearl Harbor.—Some time in the near future this place will be a great center, where hundreds of men will be located, both as civilians and as soldiers and sailors. The visit would have been incomplete without a study of this place, so the plans were studied with Engineer Purrell, and the ground visited with President Denison of the dredging company, these two conferences combined giving Mr. Moore a good idea of what would be needed at Pearl Harbor. 7. Student—The student situation was given some attention. The older male students of Kamehameha School, about 160 in number, were addressed one morning, the whole student body of Oahu College the next morning, and later in the visit the whole student body of McKinley High School. The students of Mills Institute were also visited and addressed in a meeting. This gave Mr. Moore a fine opportunity to see the student phase of Honolulu iife, and form some opinion as to what Y. If. C. A. work could be carried on among the male students. Mr. Home received favorably the idea of a Y. M. C. A. for the Kamehameha boys. There was an association there some years ago, but not since Mr. Home has been principal. If practicable, the Y. M. C. A. will again be organized. Mr. Home was president of the student association at Harvard, and is therefore familiar with student Y. M. C. A. work. An increasing number of high school and Punahou Doys are coming to our building, forming what we call our student department. The new building will solve many of the problems of these boys. Frequent conferences were held with the employed force of the Association collectively and individually. A number of business men were interviewed, and after all this studying recommendations were submitted, the carrying out of which will keep the directors busy for Mr. Moore was some time to come. greatly impressed with the immense field of work for the Y. M. C. A. and the variety of work needed. He found much �THE April, l^lu 7 FRIEND lord Wilcox was baptized. A number of friends were present and ministered — IJAPANESE FEAST GIVEN BY THE O. R. & L.

Recommendations. —An extensive report was made to the officers embodying the suggestions that grew out of the study of the field. These will be worked up into a definite policy, and acted on at the may meeting of the board of directors. The suggestions met with general approval, Mr. Trent remarking that there was not one that should not be carried out. Among the chief items are the following: a. The organization of a Railroad Y. M. C. A. among the men of the O. R. & L. Co. and the employment of a secretary to give all his time to this branch. This will involve the erection of a club building on the railroad land near the station. b. The immediate securing of an army secretary for Schofield Barracks, to be financed by the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. c. The securing of an army and navy secretary for the enlisted men within Honolulu, this man's budget to be provided jointly by the local association and the International Committee. d. The securing of a man to give all his time to work among the men in the various industries, enlarging the scope of the present work carried on at the Hono lulu Iron Works, the Catton Neill shops, and the Rapid Transit car barns. c. The development of the Chinese Y. M. C. A. by affiliating it with the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. and the employing of a to a great deal to criticize. Chinese secretary to give all his time to the Chinese young men of Honolulu. The carrying out of all these projects is a big undertaking, but they are all reasonable, and the need is obvious in every case. The financial problem is not a When the difficult one in any case. board reorganizes after the spring election of officers, they will doubtless frame these suggestions into a definite policy, and set about carrying out the recommendations. This will mean big advance in work for men in Honolulu. Within the building itself Mr. Moore thinks the Association is doing about as big a work as the equipment allows, except along the line of Bible classes. Seven religious meetings a week are held by the Y. M. C. A., but not enough Bible work is being done. This the committees will try to remedy. It is the hardest suggestion of all to carry out, as those of us who have lived here a while well know. But we will develop Bible classes as rapidly as possible. KAUAI NOTES. The Lihue Union and Charehe< observed passion Hawaiian week by spe- cial vesper services under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate. The services were very generally attended by the Christian people of the community and were enjoyable and profitable to those who participated.

The historic Hawaiian Church building at Lihue, which has recently been enlarged and renovated, is now a v-cy commodious and comfortable place of worship for the large congregation which gather there every Sunday. In addition to the Church building itself, a large lanai has been erected which is available for Sunday School purposes and for use as a dining hall in times of convention. A kitchen with range, etc. adds to the completeness of the plant. These improvements are mainly due to the interest and generosity of the Rice fanu'ly. At Kapaa the commodious and comfortable new Sunday School hall has been recently dedicated free of debt. We are glad to welcome to the Lihue community. Mr. A. G. Kaulukou who has been appointed tax assessor and collector for the district. Mr. Kaulukou is a fine specimen of the superior type of Hawaiian, of exceptional intelligence and line spirit, ready to lend a hand in every good work. Another very intelligent and useful Hawaiian, much thought of in our community is Mr. J. M. Kaneakua, county clerk. His legal training, executive ability and uncommon good judgment render him particularly valuable in the councils of the C. E. and Sunday School work in which he is enthusiastically interested.

Who wants to help in raising the remaining $3000? The Rev. E. S. Timoteo was chosen to supply the church at Napoopoo for the present. The Rev. A. S.

The reports were indicative of wholesome conditions in the churches of the big island, with a single exception.

Essay, "Heroism Without War." In defense of war, it is said it developes, as nothing else can do, the virtues of heroism and self-sacrifice. But cannot our boasted civilization furnish a more manly test of heroism than that of fighting to destroy men and property? Are there not battles in which we can prove our valor by fighting to save life rather than to destroy it. To overcome the enemies of Society, to fight for the suppression of vice, intemperance, dishonesty and injustice, to save the children of the poor from lives of hard labor in factories and to rescue all men from oppression—these are battles worthy of the statesmanship and heroism of a Gladstone or a Roosevelt. Prof. William James of Harvard University suggests the hardihood and discipline which might be developed in our youth if we were drafted into a war against Nature. "To coal and iron mines, to freight trains, to fishing fleets in December, to dish washing and window washing, to road building and tunnel making, to foundries and stoke holes and to the frames of skyscrapers, would our gilded youth be drafted off, according to their choice, to get the childishness knocked out of them and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas. They would have paid their blood tax, done their own part in the immemorial human warfare against nature. They should tread the earth more proudly, the women would value them more highly, they would be better fathers and teachers of the following generation. Such a conscription would preserve the manly virtues which the military party is so afraid of seeing disand not degrade appear in peace the whole remainder of one's life." ** ** *** �April, 1910 THE FRIEND. 12 14. Reading and Recitation, "The Christ of the Andes." More significant than all else The peace monument on the Andean boundary between Chile and Argentine, was erected in March 1904 to commemorate, the peace between these nations after years of quarreling and dispute over the boundary line. Not only was war averted, but a treaty made, referring the dispute to the arbitration of King Edward. The matter was settled satisfactorily to both nations and they later decided to submit all disputes for five years to arbitration. They also agreed to reduce their armies and their navies. is the change in the attitude of the Chileans and Argentines toward each other. All the bitterness and distrust have passed away and good feeling and confidence have taken their place. It was therefore most fitting to erect this huge monument on the boundary line and to dedicate it to the whole world as a practical lesson of peace and goodwill. The figure of Christ in bronze is twenty-six feet high and holds in one hand a cross and the other is in the attitude of blessing. "Then kinder, kinglier thought prevailed, Where threat of sword and gun had failed; And love-illumined reason wrought The adjustment long so vainly sought. "Shall we hush our hearts as we see them go— God pity!—to strive with a brother foe? And long as we have waited, have suffered and prayed For a joy still denied us, a hope still delayed. "For how can a triflle of earth and air With the worth of human lives compare? And what can it matter if thine or mine Be the narrow side of the Boundary Line? "Enough; let the sun in highest heaven Pencil the line for which you have striven; Let a princely people on either side In friendship and fair accord abide; "And why should greed and grim distrust Despoil us of our faith and trust? Enough, enough, let us pledge our word To settle by judgment, not by sword. "Be the strife of the past to the wild winds swept; The faith of the future unswervingly kept; And let 'The Christ of the Andes' rest In tokens of peace on the mountain's crest." "Let us heed the counsel And raise the standards And the here or there Let God and the British our good priests bring, of Christ our King, of the Boundary Line king define." Then the mother-heart of the nation stirred, As the fair Dc Costa's plea was heard: "Fathers and brothers! warriors, men! Shall we give our bravest to death and pain? Grandly the people made reply; The pledge was taken, the arms laid by, And glad thanksgiving and festal song Witnessed the joy of the gathered throng. 15. Recitation, Kipling's Recessional. 16.

His evening address was a strong evangelistic appeal to men to enlist in the service of Christ. It is our misfortune to be so far removed from the homeland, that we seldom have a visit from men like Mr. Moore who are bringing great things to pass for the oncoming Kingdom of Christ. Ji A Record Attendance. This report would not be complete without refernce to the steady growth of our Sunday School and to the record attendance on Sunday March 20 when 448 were present. This is encouraging. The new course of study introduced with the New Year is with a few exceptions, proving very popular with both scholars and teachers. What is needed now is the organization of a visiting committee to bring in other boys and girls that are not yet availing themselves of these splendid courses which are now being offered.

On February 2, 1906, Tuan Fang, High Commissioner of the delegation recently sent to the United States to study economic conditions set forth the attitude of China to the work of foreign missions in these words: "We take pleasure this evening in bearing testimony to the part taken by American missionaries in promoting the progress of the Chinese people. They have borne the light of Western civilization into every nook and corner of the empire. They have rendered inestimable service to China by the laborious task of translating into the Chinese language religious an 1 scientific work of the west. They help us to bring happiness and comfort to the poor and suffering by the establishment of hospitals and schools. The awakening of China, which now seems to be at hand, may be traced in no small measure to the hand of the missionary. For this service you will find China not ungrateful." if Missions and Social Progress. These words have a very large and permanent significance. A very common conception of the good influence of missionary work in China is that it is measured largely by the number of churches built and the number of converts enrolled. In reality, however, while this is a most commendable part of the missionary enterprise, yet it is not by any means the measure of the influence that Christian missions are exerting in China today. Some fifteen years ago a definite movement was inaugurated against the pernicious custom of foot-binding. While the propaganda was looked somewhat askance at in the beginning, now it has the sanction of the throne to this effect, that no Chinese official who permits anyfemale member of his family to practice foot binding upon young girls shall be eligible to further apointment or promotion. This edict is a direct outcome of the educational efforts of the missions at first and afterwards of influential Chinese, including some viceroys. The great advantage to the Chinese people when foot binding shall have been abolished can hardly be estimated, for it has been perhaps the most discouraging element in the amelioration of the conditions of women in China. No nation can rise to the highest without the ennobling influence April, 1910 �April. 1910 girls is essential to the renovation of the empire. The Destiny of An Educated China. Education has an especially fertile field among the Chinese because of their high reverence for learning. There are perhaps no more notable examples of human sacrifice for knowledge than are to be found in China. The privileges of education are open to all classes and frequent arc the instances where poverty-stricken individuals have struggled with all their might and energy for a little learning. This love for learning in itself will be sufficient in time to rejuvenate the nation, and put into its offices of influence men and women who may control the destinies of the nation in a more rational manner. China is beginning to recognize now as never before the necesity of living and acting in a relationship with other nations, and it is be hoped that this sisterhood of interests will be mutual. When after several generations, the accomplishments of China shall be measured in their relations with those of other nations, it will be found that the words of Tuan Fang quoted above will still be true and that Christian principles of education shall be the cornerstone of the nation's spiritual and material prosperity. "Where is the Sunday School Lesson?" You can have it right in front of you, on the wall [ Hawaiian Board Book 60 Cents 15 THE FRIEND Rooms Our Young People HENRY P. The month of March has been an interesting time for the Sunday Schools and C. E. Societies of Hawaii and Maui. These islands have just held their semiannual conventions, and representatives of the schools and societies have met together to talk over what has been done for the Kingdom of heaven along the lines of the young people's work and to plan for larger things to be done for ilim in His name. THE NAPOOPOO MEETING. The Hawaii Sunday School Association and C. E. Societies met in connection with the gathering of the ministers and church delegates, in the old church at Napoopoo, South Kona, from Saturday, March 12th to Wednesday, March 18th. Before the meeting the superintendent had the opportunity of making several addresses on his way from Hilo to Kona, speaking to the boys of the Hilo Boarding School, also to the congregation of the Olaa church, the Pahala Sunday school and the congregation of the Waiohinu church. It was pleasant to nolice signs of progress in the various schools visited and to know that much solid work is being done by faithful teachers in a quiet way. The Sunday school part of the convention in Kona was ushered in by an unusually successful "Hoike" on Sunday morning. Judging by the excellent rendition of the hymns, anthems and the recitation of Bible verses in an exceptionally distinct manner the schools of North and South Kona must have done some hard work and a great deal of intere have been taken in the schools in the way of careful preparation for the special occasion. The attendance was large, for not only were there representatives from most of the Kona schools, but. quite a number of visitors. It would not be fair for me to single out any particular school for a wor:l of praise. They all did well iau\ showed what careful training can do. At the conclusion of the exhibition I was asked to say a few words to the audience and responded briefly with a message of encouragement to the teachers and an appeal to put the same amount of energy in the conduct of the school on Sundays as was shown in the "Hoike." The usual luau followed the service and the crowd slowly drifted away to their homes, all except the delegates and ministers and a few others who stayed to the meetings the next week. JUDD The C. E. part in the convention was along the usual lines—the sunrise devotional meetings, the business sessions, etc. The reports seemed to indicate progress in the societies, there being almost Oou members on the Big Island, 352 of whom are members of the churches. The C. E. is often the gateway to church niemebership and has not only maintained interest among the church members, but has been effective as a means of attracting persons into the church. As usual the Sunday School Association transacted considerable routine business. The total enrollment of the schools is now about 1.800, more than three times as numerous as the C. E. The superintendent brought up for discussion four topics, viz.. the encouragement of a worshipful spirit in the school sessions, the benefit to be derived from variety in the programs of the opening exercises, ways to promote teachertraining and the conversion of the Sunday school pupils as a means of feeding the Church. These subjects are live ones in the Hawaiian schools and their presentation was listened to with good attention. It was the fortune of the superintendent and his wife to be the guests of Dr. and Mrs. A. S. Baker during the days of the meetings and it was a pleasure to see what they are doing for the people of Kona in their quiet and faithful way. Mrs. Ruth Baker, too, is doing fine work as superintendent of the Central Kona Church Sunday school and in many other ways. Let us not forget what these and other workers are doing for the kingdom by introducing the children to the Savior and by building up their Christia nch aracters through the steady work of the Sunday schools. THE WAIHEE MEETINGS. After a rough passage across the Alenuihaha Channel on Mrach 17th, the delegation of ministers from Honolulu, Revs. Oleson, Nakuina and Judd reached Maui and the next day began attendance at the meetings of the churches. Sunday schools and C. E. meetings of Maui, Molokai and Lanai in the Waihee church. These meetings began on the 17th and continued until the 23rd. The Sunday school features were of the usual order, including a good "Hoike" on Sunday morning. At this service Dr. R. J. Burdette and wife were present and the doctor gave a splendid �16 talk that was much appreciated. Rev. O. H. Gulick also gave a talk that was greatly enjoyed. It will not be out of place to mention the excellent work of the Waihee school at the "Hoike." The splendid singing and letter-perfect recitation of the subjects of the lessons, golden texts and leading thoughts was a noteworthy feature of the occasion and showed that much faithful effort had been made by Hon. Robert J. K. Nawahine, son of the venerable pastor of the Waihee church and himself a hard worker for the church. The C. E., as is customary, took charge of the sunrise meetings and they were helpful and devotional throughout. At Waihee as well as at Napoopoo Mr. Xakuina conducted a question box for the C. E. workers and answered In an able manner the various questions put to him. He also had charge of a question box on Prohibition that aroused great interest. Right here it will be fitting to mention the able presentation, by Rev. E. B. Turner of the Makawao Union church, of an introduction to the Gospel of Matthew. This was particularly timely because of the fact that the Sunday school lessons for this year are taken from the Gospel of Matthew. Mr. Turner held the close attention of his audience. Work of this nature in connection with the Island Association meetings is most valuable because of its being heard by a representative body of church workers from all parts of the isalnds and because there is such a need for instruction in the general subject of Biblical introduction. Besides Mr. Turner's theme there was the reading of the sermon outlines by two of the Maui ministers, followed by criticisms of these sermons. The monthly meetings for ministers and workers of Central Maui, under the supervision of Rev. R. B. Dodge, are bearing fruit, and the benefits of such steady instruction in sermon outlines and Biblical subjects are being seen in improved preaching and higher standards of work among the pastors of Maui. All that the monthly school on Maui can accomplish will tend to improve the Sunday schools of that island. COUSINS' SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Scxriety will be held at the Old Mission House on Saturday afternoon, April 16th. at 3:30 o'clock.

Stokes Co., New York. Review, by Rev. John T. Gulick, Ph. D. A small book of 105 pages, but of unusual interest. The subject is presented in two parts. First: "The New Healing Mission of the Church;" being chief-1) on account of the Emanuel movement in Boston, conducted by Rev. Dr. Worcester, and Rev. Dr. McComb, aided by medical experts- Second: "The New Healing Mission of the Medical Profession;" being an account of the Social Service Department, at the Massachusetts General Hospital, organized by Dr. Cabot. The jxisition maintained by the author will be best presented by a few brief quotations, which I will now give: " The clergyman is discovering that man has a body, and the doctor that he has a soul. Both are taking a larger view of humanity; and both are seeking earnestly to serve humanity more unselfishly." p. viii. Dr. Worcester after graduating from Columbia University and from an Episcopal Seminary, took a course under Wundt & Fecher in Germany. Returning to America he became chaplain and professor of philosophy at Lehigh University, and afterwards rector of St. Stephen's Church in Philadelphia, coming to Boston in 1904. p. 15-i6. Dr. McComb was first a Presbyterian pastor; but after becoming an Episcopalian joined Dr. Worcester in Boston, p. 16. "In the fall of 1906 the Emanuel Movement began. * * Dr. Worcester said 'The time has come when the church must enter more deeply into the personal lives of the people, and make a freer use of the means modern science and the gospel of Christ place at her disposal, if she is to continue even to hold her own.' Acting upon this thought, it was most natural that Emanuel Church should turn to the healing of the physically and mentally sick. It was one of the commands of Christ that his disciples should heal the sick.* * Dr. Worcester saw the need of the great faith which cures the Catholic who kissed the stone toe of the Saint; but he saw also the need of the best reason that science could give for such a cure. p. 17. A mass of scientific knowledge has been attained by the medical profession; much is known of disease and the cure of disease. Why should all this knowledge be disregarded or discarded. 'Most religious workers in this field,' says Dr. Worcester, 'have made the mistake of * * supposing that God can cure in only one way, and that the employment of physical means indicates a lack of faith. This is absurd. God cures by many means. J It uses the sunlight, healing and nourishing substances, water and air.' p. 18, 19. " Fundamental Beliefs. "Medical science and psychology have shown that a very large proportion of all the diseases from which men suffer— nearly half in fact—are diseases in which the mind, the personality or the moral na ture is the controlling factor. Dr. Worcester and Dr. McComb have attempted to establish no new doctrine. They believe profoundly in the power of the mind over the body; that the mind when inspired or transformed, can cure many of the diseases of the mind and the moral nature. It can also help greatly in alleviating pain and producing the state of confidence and hope which is favorable to the cure of all other diseases. But organic ailments generally, they believe, must be left to physical treatment, to medicine, surgery, hygiene, isolation and and skilled nursing. For eyestrain a pair of glasses is far more effective than any mental treatment." pp. 19, 22. ,"Ail sorts of cases have been treated by Dr. Worcester and Dr. McComb and their followers. The lives of many men and women have been utterly transformed ; from weak, hopeless, complaining, suffering beings, they have changed to hopeful, happy, courageous beings. In April, 1907, for example, there entered the clinic a middle-aged man suffering from pseudo-angina pectoris, severe pains all over his body, and in a very miserable state of mind. He had been unable to do any work for almost threeyears ; had gone the usual round of doctors and hospitals, and had fallen into despair of getting better. I le was a man of deep religious feeling. First of all his despair was dissipated by frequent reassurance that there was nothing incurable about his disorder. Then from time to time during a period of five months suggestion was applied and his religious instincts appealed to, until at the end of that period, he recovered his health and nervous oalance. He has remained well, and has gone back to work. There have been many strange cases of men suffering from fears, worries and phobias which have paralysed their lives. From all sorts of causes they had come to a nervous breakdown, which neither medical treatment nor self-control could cure. They have had their lives, in many vases, literally reconstructed." pp. 34-5. Criticisms of the Movement. "The questions are frequently asked: 'Where does religion come in? * * * �THE FRIEND April. 1910 Why should the church enter upon the matter at all?" "There are two groups of reasons why the church should take Up the work of healing. The first is a human or social reason. To be really cured a man must be dealt with not merely as a material but as a human being body, having a soul, a spirit. Man is a religious animal, and any work for his upbuilding that neglects that element neglects the most important factor in ins life. Not every doctor is fitted to build up the moral and spiritual nature of men; nor have most doctors time for such work ; whereas the minister is more or less at the service of the public. "The sick man coming for treatment to the church, (say the supporters of the movement), receives not mere scientific advice and direction, but what to many sufferers, ; s far more important; human .sympathy, disinterested advice. To many patients, the fact that they are brought out of lonely lives to friendly surroundings, the quieting and hope-inspiring meetings of the church, where everyone is trying to look on the bright side of life, is a powerful stimulant towards health. * * * The church inspires confidence that its ministers have no ulterior or selfish purpose; and many, a discourage d man finds in that feeling the first gleams of new hope. Besides this, the church gives men a new interest in life, a new work to do—work for some * * * p. 42-44. "In the final analysis it makes little real difference to you or to me what profession docs the new work —whether doctor or minister or a combination of the two—so long as it is done. The final test is service, and to that end professions and institutions must shape themselves. Men aft?r all, whether ill or well, will follow those leaders who can give them hope, courage, faith, health, virtue, enable them to meet the inevitable difficulties and trials of this life with a happier face and a serener soul. In any event, the fine new work will go on, whether the church in its for that present form leads it or way lies truth." p. 53-4. Concerning the Social Service Department of the Massachusetts' General Hospital, we have room for only a few words. Dr. Cabot had observed, that, in many cases that came to the Hospital, the chief cause of disease was the lack of means, in the home of the patient, for meeting the ordinary necessities of life. After careful investigation of these conditions by the Social Service Department, different methods of remedy arc applied, sometimes the funds of the Hosone besides themselves, not: pital lieing drawn on, and sometimes ether charitable nistitutions being asked 17 aid. In this way many hopeless cases Rushville, N. V,; choosing a farmer's have oeen not only relieved, but restored life, he located in Ypsilanti, Mich.; marto healthy life. A full record of the Emanuel Movement has been prepared by Drs. Worcester and McComb, and their co-laborers. I. H. Coriat, M. D., and published by Moffat, Yard & Co. of New York. to MISSION CHILDREN'S SOCIETY. By a recent letter from Miss May E. Loomis, of Ypsilanti. Michigan, we gain another page in the family history of the pioneer missionary printer at Honolulu, Elisha Loomis, and of his descendants. The simple narrative is more than a twicetold tale to many of our readers, but it has the value of authenticity, as the writer had her grandfather's journal to draw from; and it falls in with the quest of our age—delving among the be- ginnings, to find why and-how things have grown to be as they are about us. in a former number (Oct. 1904, p. 6), were given sketches of the father and two of the children ; and, without repeating, we will lightly review these, dealing with all the children first. Levi Loomis was the oldest child, and also the first white child born on these islands, the date being July 16, 1820. If he has failed of enjoying this distinction, it is owing to the plain reason that the family left this field so early that the name did not get into the "Blue Book" of the Maternal Association. Levi determined to have a college education, and worked very hard to get the needed money, farming and teaching, and helping his mother at the same time. He graduated with some honor from Geneva College, in i844; and after that year, he engaged in farming and nursery business, in Wisconsin. He was married once, perhaps twice: but the record goes no further. He died. March 23, 1892, at Wolf's Creek, Oregon, 72 years old, and was attended in his last illness by his brother, Jeremiah Evarts. Amanda Loomis was born in Honolulu, Dec. 4, 1821. and died at Hillhurst, Washington, June 4, 1903. In 1842 she was graduated from the Ontario Female Seminary at Geneva, N. V.; and at once began a life-long teaching service, which took her into four widely separated states of the Union, interrupted only by the care of her paralyzed mother during her last years, at the home of her brother Albert, in Michigan. Her greatest honor was her bright and lovely Christian life. Albert Sewart Loomis was born in Honolulu, Nov. 9, 1825, and died at Detroit, Mich., March 28, 1904. Like his sister he obtained his early schooling at ried Sarah Wood Hill, daughter of Rev. Oliver Hill (Presbyterian), and was an exemplary Christian through all his 79 His six children are: Ada Byyears. ron, Oliver Henry, Charles Albert (drowned), May Evarts, Vincent Hazeu and (jrace Amanda; all the living children except May Evarts. are married; but we have not yet learned anything further about them. Jeremian Evarts Loomis was bor 1 at Rochester, N. V., IX-c. 1, 1829; was never married, ami died at Galice, Oregon, August 9, 1905. John Howard Loomis, the youngest child, has a still shorter record. He was born at Potter, N. Y.. August 17, 1832 It is not known whether he was evet married, nor where he is now. What of the parents of this very scattered family of our cousins? They proved to be of the right stuff for pioneer work. Take notice that Mr. Loomis was accepted by the American Board, was married, and embarked at Boston, before he was 21 years old. Like the great English poet, probably he had "little Latin and less Greek," and with less incumbrance of learning he faced the problem of the "art preservative" in' catching the fleeting sounds of the spoken Hawaiian, and embodying them in Roman letters; and he must have done his full share of the work which left Hawaaian orthography in its present form. (At a later period—lß3o-32—at Mackinaw, Michigan, he used the same phonetic method in creating the Ojibwe spelling book.) In Honolulu, the printing press was set up August 7, 1820, "having .suffered but little damage by transportation, and it promises to be a good one." (This press was, in 1839, presented to the Oregon Mission by the First Church of Honolulu. It did good service there for many years, and is now in the museum at Portland.) The output of this press was—spelling books, lesson leaves, tracts (3000 in one edition), and a hymn book of 108 pages and containing 100 hymns, bearing date on its title page, Oahu, 1827; and probably some portions of the Testament, though th* volume which we have samples of was issued a little later, and will be mentitoned below. Mr. Loomis taught, as well as printed books ; and Mrs. Loomis also comes in for brief mention as one of those devoted women who stood to their duty, and let their lives be worn away by the incessant grind, in the depressing climate of Kawaiahao as it used to be. In this case it was the man who broke down, and was condemned by the medical director of that time, perhaps Dr. Blatchley, to return home, or he would die here in a year or 18 months. �18 He returned, with his family, Jan. 7, 1827; and lived in the home- climate for nine and a half years,, and labored, though never with the full ability of a well man. Two things are probable in connection with the first six years after his return horne—that he was under the direction and pay of the American Board, and that his family accompanied him in his migrations. He put forth a volume of 171 pages, containing the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John in Hawaiian. Each part had a full title page; on each the legend appears—llookahi keia oka pai ana; on the first, the imprint—ROCHESTER. N. Y. PAI IA MA KA MFIA PAI PALAPALA A LUMIKI. 1828. On the other two the imprint is slightly changed, and the date is 1829; which shows that the work was done single-handed. Our letter states that these lxx>ks, and also the earlier hynmbooki, were bound in red leather and gilded. We may suppose that such were gift books, made to lie attractive to the native- chiefs here. During the period vaguely described as 1830-1832, Mr. Loomis was a missionary to the Indians in the extreme north of Michigan. We- hear of him, after his return from Michigan, improving his qualifications for teaching by attending the Canandaigtta Academy, and then opening a select school in his home town of Rushville, on the east side of Canandaigua lake. He- continued this until June, 1835, when he was taken severely ill. He spent the following winter in Florida; but on returning in the spring, he was caught by unpropitious weather, and in late summer he passed away, being nearly 37 years old. Elisha Loomis. b.

It was clear that the Senators were heartily in favor of re]>orting that the bill pass. But the opposition put the home rule objections so strongly that finally the committee stiggested that in order not to wound the feelings of the voters the question be submitted to them. This was the very card which Mr. Woolley was ready to play in case he was put to it, hence he agreed and was both surprised and gratified to have I'rince Kuhio heartily assent to his proposition, "If Mr. Kalanianaole will agree here and now with the committee and with me to enter into the arrangement, advocate it in the House of. Representatives, and co-operate without reserve in tarrying prohibition before the The agreement people, 1 will agree.'' was then entered in the record of the committee. This carries both the Delegate and Mr. McClellan in favor of the j* plebiscite. The Uprising of the Women. The tidings of this agreement awakened in Honolulu an enthusiasm that betokened a great moral movement. All classes felt that Congress was honoring them in requesting their will upon the first social question facing humanity. At once every true hearted citizen longed to take a hand in the battle for freeing Hawaii from the yoke of King Alhocol. Naturally the women were as profoundly stirred as the men and the desire to make- their will effective at the polls could not be repressed. The first open suggestion that "he franchise be extended to women at the proposed plebiscite came from a lady of well known Hawaiian ancestry. Hut the same thought was in many minds, and it was entirely in accord vvith the Idea!—how often true in Hawaiian history—that "the first lady of the Territory," our Governor's wife, should head a movement which united every sort of woman's organization in Honolulu in a request to Congress that the womanhood of the Islands be granted* the right to help decide the great question by their ballots. An answering despatch from the Delegate showed him in little sympathy with this significant uprising, which was as spontaneous as it j« was inspiring. What Next? The Committee session opened at A day or two after this dramatic epi10:30 a. m. and until 5 p. m. the fight sode Delegate Kalanianaole cabled that �THE 4 the plebiscite would be upon the question of prohibition by local legislative action and not upon that of federal prohibition. The tidings cneated a strange revulsion. Where before all was enthusiasm, the consciousness of a real opportunity to deliver Hawaii effectively from society's worst foe, and a fine promise of uniting all good citizens in one noble, unselfish effort, now came the chill of a profitless campaign, and the prophecy of a fierce battle where victory might mean a fruit with only ashes neath the rind. It was a cruel disappointment The very date set for the balloting in the midst of summer, when the reform forces would be scattered, seemed to tell the story of Greeks bringing presents. From that day on the heart has ebbed out of the movemen". Congress, that evidently wanted to give Hawaii an egg, was by mistake holding out a stone. Civic Federation and Anti-Saloon League forthwith sent on a plea that the voters of the Territory be given the privilege of balloting on the question, "Do you favor prohibition of the liquor traffic by federal enactment." What Congress will <lo about it is not known. That the Anti-Saloon forces of Hawaii will conduct a red hot campaign whatever be the- issue- submitted by joint resolution to our voters, is a foregoneconclusion. We believe the result not doubtful. This final appeal to a dying race to refuse to sign its own death warrant must prevail. And the white vote will rally in its turn to the right. Out of such a fight as we face here a public opinion may be born that will reverse the old rule and cause state- prohibition to prohibit. In this conviction it is good news to learn that Delegate Ktihio fully share-. J* China at it too. We arc indebted to that splendid representative of Uncle Sam-at-liis-best, t ousul-General Amos P. Wilder of Shanghai, for a pamphlet entitled "The last Days of the Poppy," which tells the tale of how our great neighbor to the west is wrestling with her deadliest physical foe. It is a noble story of rising patriotism, for the fight against opium is begetting a new love of country in the Celestial Empire. It takes couragefor government officials to meet the command of their emperor to extirpate this curse to the extent of giving up their lives in the struggle to free themselves from the dread habit. But not a few office holders in China have done this True patriots these! All very thing. over the country the people and their rulers are addressing themselves to the three great demands of the reform: first, eradication of the poppy plant; second, March. 1910 FRIEND cessation of the consumption of opium; and, third, prohibition of trade in the drug. A ban is being put upon everything connected with the curse. Officials who smoke, those that have ceased smoking, and suspects are tabulated. Opium shops and smokers are licensed. Refuges are made known to victims of the habit, and the best form of treatment widely The Viceroy of Nanking advertised. reports his three provinces already free from the cultivation of the poppy. By May of this year five more great provinces will have joined this procession of freedom and many others are close behind. Public opinion is at white heat on the problem, and the world is being treated to the spectacle of a nation glowing with fervor over a mighty ideal. It is good news for us Americans who are at war with alcohol. m Our Trolley System. Hawaii is justly proud of its one Rapid Transit line. Fvery visitor is impressed with the s"able character of its road bed, the comfort and cleanliness of its cars, the trim appearance of its employes, their notable courtesy, and the general character of its business management. It is a large promotion asset. Hence whatever criticisms may be passed upon it do not spring from lack of appreciation of its many excellencies. The experiences of the past few months, however, have led not a few to the query Whether satisfied with the record of the past the management is not relapsing into tha' mental quietude which menaces all human institutions with the Stick-in-the-mud principle "What was good enough for my The daddy is <>och\ enough for me." only organization on earth that can stand this sort of thing is the Christian Church and that even the Church cannot long stand it has been the plain teaching of history. Honolulu has been growing steadily, and its use of the trolley system has kept pace with its growth. Hut the ten minute schedule has not been altered, and seems to bid fair to rival the laws of die Medcs and Persians. The enlarged traffic makes i" impossible for the motormen to observe the schedule, which in consequence is a farce during much of the day. Some sections of the city do not even have the advantage of this so-called ten minute privilege. At Manoa junction the situation is pitiable. (me never knows during the evening when to plan for a car that will connect. The delays arc exasperating. This havoc with an impossible schedule drives the motormen to undue speed and threatens accidents which are entirely avoidable. On Washington s Birthday one of "hese occurred at the corner of Lunalilo and Pensi.cola streets where a car -ii iven fa r beyond proper speed dashed around the curve at a rate that took away not a few passengers' breath and hurled an unlucky rider to the ground at the price of a broken leg. During the busy hours of the day at morning, noon and night and on holidays a five minute schedule is imperative. This would necessitate extra switches but it is time for them. The small car nuisance during hours when known meetings in town increase traffic should be abated. Often dwellers in .Manoa bound to town between 7 and 7:30 p. m. encounter a full car at the junction—a condition for which there i> no excuse. Shelters and the Like. The Manoa Valley transfer corner needs a better shelter against rain. Rest stations at the west terminus of King, the east termini of Waialac and Alakea and the north termini of Liliha, Emma and Manoa Valley lines would be a great convenience. Why the King street tracks do not run up the hill to Fort Shafter is a cotumilrum. To make everyone trudge those extra few hundred yards is an outrage on the part of so prosperous a corporation as the 11. K. T. & L Company. Then where in any city in Christendom are people jerked out of ears without reason so systematically as at the corner of Beretania and Alapai Street? More than once a well filled large car has been emptied to over-crowd a small one necessitating the standing of ladies who previously had a sea"..

Was it not courting disaster to put that ramshackle car at work on the most dangerous run in the city, Manoa valley, where it promptly jumped the track on a level stretch? For about an hour after the accident no ears were run on the branch tho there was nothing to prevent a relief car being on hand within fifteen minutes. And by the- way there is bound to be a grand smash up on the bad hill down Punahou street unless better time regulations are observed. We have rolled down that track at a rate wholly unjustifiable just to help patch up the broken schedule.

It has hardly been courteous to L'ncle Sam to keep it going in front of his quarters so long. More might be said but this suffices for the present These suggestieins are gleaned from the experience of many who would welcome a five minute schedule for the hours of overcrowding and the ending of the antiquated twenty-minute runs altogether. Maui Happenings. In Honolulu. The visit of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Ilurdette of Los Angeles has been greatly appreciated in the capital because of their generosity in sharing themselves with the community at large. Dr. Burdette has spoken in his inimitable way not only in several of our church pulpits and before- two of our men's leagues, but also at the Commercial Club. It is to be hoped that he may be induced to deliver His one of his famous lectures here. messages are so full of wit, sense and spiritual power that they carry far with all sorts and conditions of people. Mrs. Burdette also has appeared before a number of our women's eirganizations, and has captivated them with her own messages. Honolulu people have cometo find the reason for the phenomenal success of Los Angeles' Temple Baptis* Church in the rare combination of these two gifted Christian leaders. The Floral Parade of 1910 will be remembered as the most interesting of all the- scries thus far because of the great. variety of its display. It could not rival i"s predecssors in the bewildering beauty of decorated private cars, which were somewhat fewer than usual, but it certainly kept spectators more on the gui vive, and suggested certain lines of development that may well be worked out year by year. The tendency to fill out the day and evening with other events was also a happy innovation. Doubtless in time a water carnival feature in the afternoon may be added. Mr. Ford's suggestion of enlarging the historical significance of the celebration derives point from the very interesting floats that added so much to this year's parade. Japan's annual flower show in Dangozaka is a helpful commentary upon the timeliness of Mr. Ford's suggestion. Mr. Harold Dillingham and his associates deserve the gratitude of the city for the impressive demonstration which they gave of the possibility of using the floral parade as a means of education without sacrificing in the least its loveliness or its appeal to humor. A new and larger sphere ol influence has opened before this now assured feature of Honolulu life. of the Territory has widened his influence. On Maui he has been a tower of strength to the ministers of all nationalities, while his peculiar gifts both in athletic and homiletic lines, have specially endeared him to the Paia constituency. We are glad to learn meanwhile that his church has persuaded him to reconsider his resignation, and that there is every prospect of his continuing his pastorate. This is one of the best pieces of news of the past fortnight.— It is with great regret that we learn of the resignation of Rev. Theo. A. Wahrip of Kahului. Mr. Waltrip has been in the islands only two years, but in that time he has achieved distinct results and has made a place for himself in the life of our churches. Kahului is a difficult field because of its shifting population. But its Union Church has (lone well, and as the seaport grows will come to wield a large influence. The more we see of island life, the more the importance of enterprises like Kahului Union Church is impressed upon us. The larger life of such communities is found in learning how to pull together, and a church which buries out of sight denominational lines and unites all in Christian worship and service is a rainbow of good promise for everyone therein. In gathering such a church together Mr. Waltrip has done fine work. We learn that there is some prospect of retaining him for a needy post elsewhere in the islands, and trust that the re-|>ort is true.—The Friend congratulates Rev. and Mrs. R. B. Dodge upon the advent of their little son. D. S. Just as February dawned word came that Rev. Edward Bates Turner of Paia had resigned his charge. The news brought keen regret not only to his parish, but also to his friends throughout the Islands, for Mr. Turner is well known and loved not only in the three parishes of Kohala, Honolulu and Paia, where he has labored so successfully, but elsewhere as well. His identification of himself with the entire Christian enterprise THAT FIVE THOUSAND PERMANENT FUND. As several references have been made in The Friend to the $5,000 Fund I am attempting to raise for the Church and Ministerial Aid Department of the Hawaii Association, it seems fitting that [ should report progress. It is proving a more difficult task than I had anticipated, though I did not expect an easy one. While we all rejoice over the munificent gifts for various benevolences during the past year or more, this modest appeal has not met with a very general response. The churches East are straining every nerve apparently to meet the requirements of the "apportionment plan," and it has been more and more impressed upon me that we must depend principally upon our own people of the islands to meet this need. No contribution to the fund thus far has been more touching than that sent from South Dennis, collected by the present pastor of the "old home church" of Dr. Baker and myself. This once large and prosperous country church has dwindled because of death and removal until there are but two men in its membership beside the pastor. Yet Mr. and Mrs. Labarie, though strangers to us, in sending the hundred dollars, say its collection has been "a labor of love." and we are told by others that he often prays publicly for the work here, and for us by name. Some of the amounts named have been in two or three payments. I give them in the order received: Mrs. B. M. Allen $35o.oo Henry Champion, New 100.00 I lave-n. Conn IOO.OO Mrs. Caroline J.

At the same time, even a small contribution is very thankfully received, and will be acknowledged promptly and reported later. I hope this report will be considered an appeal, not from the writer alone, but from the many needy and well-nigh helpless churches of the island of Hawaii to "come" for send) "over into Macedonia and help us."

O, by the kingdom and the power And glory of thine advent hour, Wake heart and will to hear their cry; Help us to help them ere they die." RUTH B. BAKER. �THE 6 The Library Alcove ERNEST J. REECE Human Life in Books. "It matters little whether you are brought into contact with a man by seeing or hearing, by the printed or spoken To read a book in the true word. is to lay aside for the mosense personality, and to beone's own ment come a part of the author." So spoke Leslie Stephen of the human life that lies imbedded in books. Perhaps no "ruth of greater significance to the inindividual was ever uttered, for it restates the passing of influence from soul to soul. The world now realizes that Jesus' emphasis upon the value and import of the person was based upon its reality. A recent writer has noted that this force of personality stands alone as the one uncontrovertible residuum of human experience. Men have repudiated our notions of right and wrong, they have doubted the order of the universe, they have questioned even whether a universe existed. But no one has yet refused to accept the fact of his own life. Our cosmos may dissipate, our ideals may totter, our theologies may decay—personality remains unassailcd and eternal. And what life does not bear witness, though tacitly and perhaps unconsciously, to the supremacy of this force? What existence so impoverished and purposeless that it will not respond with unsuspected enthusiasm to the stimulating influence of a heroic and devoted career ? What man of accomplishment but attributes his impulse and dynamic in large part to the touch of other lives? What prophet, indeed, but has borrowed a human blade Alexander the to unseal his orders? remarked that "to his father once Great he owed life, to Aristotle," his tutor "the knowledge of how to live worthily." Pasteur, long before he dreamed of crystallography or silkworms, prepared his daily lessons under the tutelage of a parent who sought both to »id his son and instruct himself. Galileo came to selfdiscovery largely through the influence of his father's friend Ricio, and through the glimpses into the world of mathematical science which that influence brought with it. to each of his children the King gives a torch. Now he fills it with his own hand, till it glows with fire from the skies. Fully as often he bids that the beacon be lighted from the embers on history's hearth. . . . . Some Literary Hooes. For those of us who must spend our days largely in one spot, the most ready approach to inspiring lives is through books. This being the case, we shall probably find few who have cut their names more deeply on the tablets of history than those- who have recorded themselves in literature. For when we have a man's book we have not merely the story of his work, but his work itself. The most complete history of New France extant commemorates a life of courage of which Americans may well be proud. Francis Parkman graduated from Harvard in 1X44. engaged in law for two years, then made definite choice of a literary career. He- gave himself to portraying the conditions which obtained on our American continent before the coming of the Anglo-Saxon, and to recording the circumstances that attended the clash of the red civilization with the white. To fit himself for this he sought personal acquaintance with the races and regions concerned. He returned from his long western expedition with health undermined. This handicap did not deter him from his task, however. With eyesight so far impaired that for three years at one- time he could scarcely endure the light of day. and with strength so precarious that (lie of his hooks required the best part of twenty years for completion, he was true to his purpose. The result is a series of accurate and beautiful pictures of early American life, standing as a monument to a scholar's fidelity. About the same time there was growing up in the Southland that peer of American poets, Sidney Lanier. He came of age as our grea" civil conflict was on. and served for the cause which seemed to him right. He returned to private life with the shadow of incurable disease upon him. But the soul of vision is not amenable to laws of physical ill and health. Lanier's dream was of an art which he defined as requiring suffusion with "beauty, truth, wisdom, goodness, love." To it he offered himself, saying, "It is of small consequence whether I Let my name perish; the fail. poetry is good poetry, and the music is good music: and beauty dieth not, and the heart that needs it will find it." To his own generation he gave exquisite music; to posterity he left a few gems of poetic thought. He escaped the opression of poverty only to find the white spectre bearing down upon him. He was gone at thirty-nine, but the torch he handed on blazed with devotion to an ideal. Literary history teams with such records. Guy Bancroft gave fifty years of labor to one piece of work. John ..

Stevenson labored feverishly through years of illness and suffering and weakness, and died at his guns. tory of the English people when Some Loyal Disciples of Art. Nor can we ignore the characters of courage who have brought the beautiful nearer. Art is of some significance to all. To a few it is life. A humble French painter of a century ago was among those to whom it was vital. Encouraged by devout parents who gladly dedicated their own meagre means to the culture of his genius, and urged by a grandmother who counseled him to remember that he "painted for eternity," and to "keep the ever in his mind,'' presence of God Jean-Francois Millet set out to depict the beauty and simplicity of French peasant life. He was fettered by timidity, disheartened by scornful criticism, embarrassed by poverty. In spite of all he clung to his ideal, broke with the conventional, and established anew the fact that art has a place in homely life. Music has enlisted her heroes as well as painting. If there be an American school of music, its establishment is due perhaps first of all to Edward MacDouc-11. La Forge has said that "they who love- art must be willing to sweep the floor and tend the hearth." and i* was with such disregard for superficial that MacDowell served. It is stated of him that he "never compromised his standards : he never conceded to the interests of the moment, or gave anything more than his time- and strength to work essential to his necessities. His genius, his temperament, his enthusiasm, he reserved for his art." Complete tribute to his purpose—this was MacDowell's ideal. It was enthroned in his life, and taught him to subordinate all else. A few intense years he worked, interpreting beauty in the form of lyrical music. Darkness came upon him early, but his torch burns still. . . Where They Touch Us. More important by far than the work a man does is the spirit in which he does it. The better America—the America in which the art of beauty, goodness, wisdom, truth and love shall have come to its own—will think no less dearly of Lanier and MacDowell because their lives were unfinished. Their impress is on the nation. They received their torches direct, perhaps, and to them the generations will go for light. They represent phases of the supreme real force of per- �March. 1910. sonality, stamped with individuality and i<-ft among men. Printing and communication have rendered no greater service than by making it possible for us of the modern workaday world to select our friends not only among our companions of today but from our brothers of the past.

It is one of the compensations of life that we may enlist their Support in the work which our age calls THE FRIEND botes.

THE COLUMBIA PARK BOYS. On February 17th, the Columbia Park Boys came over to be the guests of the Boys' Clubs of Honolulu, returning by the Alameda on the 23rd. They were a remarkably genteel lot of boys, conducting themselves with such gentlemanly behavior during the whole of their stay with us. that Mr. Peixoto may be justly proud of them. There were 40 Ixivs in the company atended by Mr. Piexoto and two asistants. They furnished excellent entertainment at the ()pera House, and in baseball they were ijreat, winning three of the four games played, and losing like sportsmen when they lost. They played also a fine game of basket ball with the Ft. Shafter team. We are glad to have had this visit from the boys, and to have had opportunity to encourage- them. They were very appreciative of the attention received here and we hope they liked our city well enough to come back and pay us another visit. It was noticeable that no profanity was indulged in by these boys, a fact which it would be well for hoys in other schools to note; and Mr. Jungclaus speaks in most complimentary terms of their gentlemanly conduct while at their meals in the Palm Cafe M.

Prohibition Prohibits: It is one of the catch phrases of the Street ,: iat "prohibition does not prohibit." Like many another catch-phrase, tin- one has come to be regarded as a truism. The man who questions this dictum queers himself as once with his neighbors. And yet there is no inherent infallibility in such a phrase. The man who questions its accuracy may be right after all ,and the phrase- may be wrong. There are some facts that it is well for all men to weigh: and surely facts ought to count with us all as more authoritative than any mere catch-phrase. In the first place, it is a manifest fact that liquor dealers everywhere seem to btii've that prohibition prohibits. They always fight it with all the- resources at their command. They know that where prohibition comes it shuts up the saloons, and closes out the breweries and distilleries. They know that its mere approach puts brewery and distillery stock on the toboggan. The man who doubts whether prohibition prohibits, and undertakes to continue selling liquor surreptitiously, as hundreds of deluded men have done in local option communities on the mainland, discovers new light on this subject under the compelling influence of tines and imprisonment. Again, the exercise of local option has placed thousands of communities under the operation of prohibition, and this l>olicy has been continued steadfastly b> such communities as the result of an annually recuring vote. The steady course of the majority in such communities shows that that majority is satisfied that prohibition prohibits. It is a glib thing to say that such citizens know well enough that prohibition does not prohibit, and that in voting as they do they publish themselves to the world as social hypocrites. How much easier, however, it is to believe that such citizens know what they are doing, and have good reason to be satisfied with their course as not only honest but also wise. For the communities in which local option has secured prohibition, and there are many such in all sections of the mainland, have not only shut out the saloon effectively, but they have notably augmented the savings of the people as shown in savings bank statistics; have accelerated the purchase of land and the erection of bouses by the people; have enormously reduced expenditures for the maintenance of police and jails; and have enhanced the peace and prosperity of the community in ways not easily tabulated but none "he less manifest on every hand. Again prohibition is a principle imbedded in all repressive legislation, and is therefore no new or experimental affair, but rather is the chief reliance in repressing crime. The law against murder, and bigamy, and arson is a prohibitive law, and civilized communities are satisfied that such law prohibits. In the sense that a prohibition law against the sale of of liquor docs not altogether succeed in suppressing illicit traffic in liquor, so also docs the prohibition against murder, bigamy, and arson fail to suppress altogether these crimes against society. But this has never seemed a sufficient reason for enacting less stringent laws, and it ought not to be so with reference to laws prohibiting the sale of liquor. Again, a law that receives the approbation at the polls of a clear majority of the citizens is likely to be enacted in good faith, and having public sentiment back of it is likely to be enforced as well as other prohibitive enactments. If there is reason to doubt "he effective enforcement of such law, popular pressure can secure Special provision for securing such enforcement. Thus the Legislature can empower the Governor to direct the enforcement of the law through a special constabulary force who will be free to devote their whole time to this work, and who will be removed from the deterrent influences of local political and other considerations. When men point to the- large number of "blind pigs" in prohibition communities as evidence that prohibition does not prohibit, they forget that such "blind pigs' always exist in license communities as well. They do here in Hawaii under our present license law, and inasmuch as such "blind pigs" presumptively secure their liquor from licensed sellers, the probability is that right here in Hawaii now license promotes the multiplication of such places. Some of our retailers are wholesalers as well, and it is a plain business proposition that they may be- depended on to sell all they can in quantity as well as by the glass. And the "blind pig" operator gets his liquor by the quantity where it can be bought. L'.ndcr prohibition there would be no such opportunities to secure liquors from licensed dealers, and this fact would * I lUl'T'l 11' til T'l'illll'tl till' 11111111 M f" tit "'llltTlil pigs'' rather than to increase that numTo facilitate the enforcement of a prohibitory law, the payment by an individual of a Federal tax for the sale of liquor could be made by statute a prima facie evidence of the sale of liquor and be specially constituted as evidence sufIn this way, terrificient to convict. torial prohibition with a special constabulary appointed by the Governor and removable only by him, and an enactment constituting the payment of a Federal tax prima facie evidence of the sale of liquor, would obtain for us here some of the best features of Federal prohibition, would preserve home rule as the regulating power, and would secure such a vigorous and consistent enforcement that blind pigs would be reduced to a minimum instead of being at a maximum as at present under existing law. ber. Anonymous Correspondence. When a man has anything to say in print, he ought to say it over his own name. That is the honest and honorable and manly method. It would be a good thing if our newspaper editors would go To one step further than they have. protect themselves from possible lawsuits they now refuse to print anonymous contributions when not accompanied by confidential information as to the writer's name. It would only be a step further for them to take the stand that they will print corespondence from only such citizens as sign their names or initials. This would be in the interest of more courteous discussion of public questions. The present method gives opportunity for mean innuendo that is cowardly and would not be used in an article over a man's own name. Jf Honolulu is really getting out of its swaddling hands, and looking forward to better things, one way to promote a better Honolulu would be to relegate all anonymous correspondence to the days of small things, and have only those people speak to the public through the columns of the press, who have something to say. and are willing to say it over their own names.

Latterly he- has served as judge at the above He was a man of sterling charplace. acter and good sense, a wise counselor The and a faithful servant of Christ. younger, Rev. J. S. Lekelesa, has been a patient and efficient worker in a large and exacting field. As pastor of the church at Waimea, Hawaii, he supplied the churches also at Kawaihae and Kawaihac-uka, and his Christian spirit has made him a large place in the hearts of all who knew him. THE FRIEND of a wholesome- spiritual life in our churches and missions. 2. It is not strange that this material activity should be accompanied by statistical evidences of the hopeful condition of our churches. The tidings come from every direction of numerous, and substantial accessions to the membership of the churches. The carefully planned campaign of evangelistic meetings, mainly in pastorless and isolated churches, has been fruitful and stimulating. It has been impossible to compass every portion of the territory, and some needy sections, have not been visited. But the experiment of sending two men out together for patient house to house visitation, accompanied by public meetings in numerous neighborhoods, warrants such work at frequent intervals. 3. Some of our pastorless churches have been provided with more frequent preaching services by visiting supplies; and some have been supplied regularly. At I lauula, the response of the people has been noticeable. At other points the response has been disappointing. One of the most noteworthy gains of the quarter has been the return to some of our churches, under wise leadership, of those who had taken up with other teach- 9 one of profound encouragement. Our workers in the main are making real progress in adapting themselves to the special needs of their respective fields. Some of these fields are isolated, and the difficulties are serious ones. But real headway is being made even where these obstacles arc the most serious. Taken in collection with the annual statistical reports from our missions and churches for the year closing with Dec. 1909, the quarter has been one of the most fruitful and eivcouraging during recent years. Number of Criminal Drunks New Hampshire. in ing. Digest of Quarterly Reports for Quarter ending December 31, J909.* 1. The quarter has been one of unusual activity in the erection of new buildings, and in the repair and renovation of old ones. A handsome little church building has been erected at Kaiwiki, Hawaii, very largely through the self-denying gifts of tlie Portuguese resident there. The Japanese church at Koloa has dedicated a reconstructed building; the building of the Japanese church at Waialua has been moved to a better location and together with the parsonage has been repainted and renovated; a neat and attractive chapel has been erected and dedicated at Makalawena, Kona; and three fine new church buildings have been erected and dedicated at Olaa, Spreckelsville. and Kaunakakai. A pretty little church building on Lanai was formally opened for church services in December. A commodious Sunday School Hall at Kapaa was completed during the quarter. Extensive repairs were made on the Alexander Parsonage at Wailuku, on the Kaahumanu church at that place, on the Chinese parsonage at Hilo, and on several church buildings in Kona, Hawaii, and on Kauai. Other repairs and new buildings are being planned for. This activity is one of the material evidences by (leneral Superintendent at Hawaiian * Preneuted Board meeting. Friday, March 4, mm. 4. ( hir agents and other pastors have continued their good work in prosecuting schools for the instruction of ministers and Others. More is being done just now in this line than for some years Immediately, the effect is to enrich the sermon material of our pastors and hence to add greatly to the value of church services ; indirectly the effect is to awaken a sense of responsibility on the part of some who may later on hear and obey the Master's call to work in his vineyard. 5. The Island Associations held during the quarter were particularly notable as furnishing occasion for a fine display of Christian comradeship between races. Thus at the Koloa meeting and at the Waianae meeting, the Associations, made up mainly of Hawaians, gave glad and hearty support to meetings in the interest of Japanese evangelism. o. The demand for workers is becoming more insistent as the months pass. Losses by death and prospective removal are especially forcing this matter to our attention in our Chinese and Japanese missions, and among our Hawaiian churches. New fields that are inviting workers arc only accentuating the problem. Efforts are being made to secure the needed workers, but the situation calls for prayer as well as effort. 7. The splendid spirit of devotion and of outreaching for larger usefulness that is to be noted in the quarter's reports is The Makiki Japanese Church has introduced the custom of one English sermon each month. The first one to deliver an address tinder this new schedule was Rev. C X. Pond, D. D. THE BULLETIN AND MR. WOOLLEY.

THE FRIEND, 10 Smoking. "No smoking in the dormitories, was the rule when the Seattle building opened a year ago, and will stand for another year, for not only have the rooms been full, but young men have taken quarters there in order to help themselves to break the habit. This is exactly in line with the decision of the Eastern District Branch, Brooklyn, where the members, after two open debates, decided with practical unanimity not to allow smoking in the building.

There are many national vices which rise up like mountains. One of these is the parent of all others; I mean intemperance. It hinders the progress of God's kingdom, it ruins many souls. Some people approve of Christianity but do not become Christians. One said to me, "Many times I have trembled and wept as I listen to sermons, and have made up my mind that I would be a child of God, but when I got home the first glass of wine swept all these resolutions away." We are now fighting hard against this great enemy of intemperance and other vices that hinder the progress of the Redeemer's kingdom. We are trying also to build up the kingdom by religion, educational and social, and all other means we can use. ()f course, our churches are small, but we believe that the church is an army, and that every man who hears the voice of Jesus saying, "Thy sins are forgiven" hears the same voice calling "Now destroy the works of the dcvil —try to make earth like heaven, and every man like me." While we hear the voice of Jesus saying "Fear not, little flock, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom," we also feel a great responsibility. I fawaii needs more evangelists and teachers. I earnestly beg the Hawaiian Board to open new ways to help the Gospel reach all our countrymen in Hawaii. As St. Paul says, "Brethren, my hearts' desire and prayer to God for them is, that they might be saved." The Scripture says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall they preach except they be sent.

The following resolute words were frequently utered in private conversation by Mr. Takahashi, whose lamented death was noted in the February FRIEND. The oft repeated "here" had reference to his own field in Makaweli. "I love Hawaii, and expect to spend my life here for my people. Here I will live for them and here I shall die for them. As a soldier lays down his life on the battlefield for his country so will I lay down my life here for Hawaii." The funeral of Mr. Takahashi, our evangelist whose tragic death was noticed in the last issue of The Friend, took place in Makaweli on January 28. Rev. T. Okumura, Mrs. T. Hori and Rev. Frank S. Scudder went as representatives of the Hawaiian Board. Being the first Christian funeral held among the Japanese in that vicinity, the event created an unusually profound impression. Most touching was the apparent sense of helpless desolation among the young men who had lost their "Sensei," who was more to them than a brother. When the coffin was carried from the hospital to the hall where the service was to-be held.it was suggested that the young men divide into companies, each company to take its turn in carrying it; but no sooner was it lifted than all crowded around it, those who could not get near reaching a hand as far into the crowd as possible, and trying at least to touch the coffin. It was with a feeling of relief that at last we saw it safely placed in the hall. The hall was crowded, yet a hush prevailed. A number of persons, among whom were two Buddhist priests from Makaweli and Waimea, paid their tributes of respect to the beloved brother. Mr. B. D. Baldwin spoke most feelingly and appreciatively of Mr. Takahashi's exceptional character, his wide influence and his unselfish devotion to the welfare of everyone. At the close of the service a meeting was held in a neighboring camp, to which most of the people remained and listened with unusual interest to the Gospel message. The body was brought to Honolulu and cremated several days before the news could be broken to Mrs. Takahashi in the hospital. Heartbroken as she is, she has borne the affliction with Japanese fortitude, and with a Christlike spirit. Mrs. Takahashi wishes us to express her deep appreciation of the sympathy which has been shown to her by American people as well as by Japanese. In Makaweli, Lihue, Honolulu, Ewa and other places, many have added to heartfelt sympathy a practical sympathy of the hand, which will be a great comfort and help to her in facing the new respon- MR.

If she were not such a valuable hen I would put an end to her at once, but no, there was more money in her eggs than even in my favorite Northern Spy, so off went the branches of my tree. * And what do you suppose? A few days more and there she was in my garden again, and others with her! Now my interest was aroused. I put her back and watched. I observed her nosing along the bottom of the fence; there she had scratched out a hole by which not only she, but any other chicken could escape. "Blind pig," thought L, "but I'll stop that all right." So I examined the foundations of my fence all around, and made it tight. But the chickens had now learned the trick, and, led on by old Grayspeck, made my life miserable, and my garden a laughing stock to all who passed by. Then was my wrath kindled, but now in righteousness. I seized him by the legs and said, "See here, old chap, I am sorry I was mean to you once and ducked you in the pond, but now I mean business; I've tried you out on every line.

I'm sorry for you, and I'll miss your eggs, but your days are numbered," and the hen seeming to fear that her day of reckoning had come, squawked and screeched so loud that all I could make out of her protest was "You'll see that prohibition doesn't prohibit!" and I said, "Maybe it won't, but anyhow it will be a step in the right direction to get you out of the way," and with a firm step I led him to the prohibition block and with one blow I accomplished more than I had in all my previous experiments. I found all the rest of my chickens easily controlled, and from that day my garden began to pick up, and no one was able to surpass me in the quality of my garden produce or in the beauty of my home flowers.

It is certain that a number of these were former members of the country school and are now carrying out in their everyday city life the teachings received in the schools connected with our country churches. In spite of the fact that such a large proportion of the llawaiians are living in Honolulu, the majority are still residents of the valleys and seacoast and hillside, where no sound of the trolley car or postman's whistle is ever heard. It is to these llawaiians that we turn in considering the subject of the country Sunday school. It is evident that some of these schools are almost dead, or if not dead they are at least asleep. The reason for this is something easily seen. There may be but few people left in a village and these few have become discouraged by the small number that could be gathered together for a scho.il session. Sometimes the cause of the trouble is the lack of some one to lead the school and to put new life into the members. At other times it is the bickering and quarrels that have almost broken up the work. How can these three obstacles to success be overcome? The first problem may be solved as soon as the second is met successfully. In other words, if you have a faithful and energetic leader you have someone to dispel the gloomy feelings that pervade some of our isolated schools. The last one of these problems must be conquered only by the patient endeavor of the pastor and deacons and March, P>lo. FRIEND noon consecration, and in the evening Conquest.

Editor Friend: I promised "hat I would write you while making this tour around the world, and it seems to me that this is the most suitable place from which to do SO. We arrived here several days before Christmas, which we employed in visiting the many sacred spots about Jerusalem and making a "rip to Jericho and the Jor- dan. Christmas eve We took a carriage for Bethlehem, which as you know, lies six miles over the hills from Jerusalem. The moon was nearly at its full and it was as bright as our Honolulu moonlight. In Bethlehem, built over the grotto where Christ is reported to have been born, is the large Church of the Nativity, in which Roman Catholics and Greek Catholics have separate chapels, and are kept from fighting by armed 'Turkish soldiers. I he Christmas of the Greek Church comes fourteen days later than ours, but they make a point of having an 15 FRIEND vice. We went to the church early to as to secure seats and sat an hour or more watching the crowd assemble before the service began. At 11 p. m. the candles were lighted in the large Roman Catholic chapel. A number of priests ap|>eared and after bowing to the altar seated themselves inside the altar rail. Soon to our astonishment vestments were produced, and they began to dress themselves in full sight of the congregation! They had all shaven polls and beards, and looked quite different from our American priests. The Bishop or Patriarch of Jerusalem conducted the services, which were evidently specially prepared for Christmas. As it was all in Latin it was largely unintcligible to me. 'There were many changes made in the attire, and especially in the head dres the Bishop, during the main service, which lasted until nearly three o'clock in the morning. He wore a little red skull cap over his shaven poll. At various points in the ceremonies this was removed by an assistant priest and a sort of red Again this would turban substituted. be removed and a tall, cloven bishop's hat placed on his head. Again the turban would be replaced and later a larger bishop's hat donned. This happened over and over again during the ceremony, and was probably significant to those who His vestments were also understood. changed several times, several priests assisting. The music was sweet but monotonous. At three o'clock the Bishop and priests passed m procession from the altar to the Grotto of the Nativity, the priests bearing long, lighted candles, and the Bishop carrying the Bambino, a wooden image of a baby. Two rows of 'Turkish soldiers formed on each side of the procession to keep the crowd back and protect it from interruption. The chapel of the Greek Church was near by and they carried on their opposition service in stentorian tones, but attempted no other interference. 'The procession proceeded down under ground into the grotto, and deposited the Bambino in its golden cradle to remain until New Year's day. when it will be brought out again with ceremonies to be used another year. This closed the main service, but a priest remained in the grotto celebrating the mass, and hundreds of devotees crowded into it to partake of communion on Christmas day. and while the Bambino was there.

While the ceremony was, of course, somewhat distasteful to .a Protestant, it was very imposing and impressive, and something to remember. The fact that it was held at the actual birthplace of Jesus added solemnity to what would otherwise be farcical and the devotion of the worshippers should be an example for us. The morning was spent in a walk to the plain of the shepherds some miles to the east, to the home of Joseph the son of Jacob, and to other points of interest. At eleven we attended a service in Arabic in the school of the English Protestant school in Bethlehem, after which we walked back to Jerusalem. Trains of camels led by Arabs, numbers of pilgrims on their way to the afternoon service at the Grotto of the Shepherds, carriages full of priests and others, Bedouins on donkeys and on foot, etc., were met constantly as we walked along the white stony highway. In the afternoon we attended service in the large Russian church in Jerusalem and found the ceremonies more impressive and the music much more beautiful than that of the Roman Catholic. Thus we had three services on Christmas day, and each in a separate unknown tongue. It was a day long to be remembered. The painful part of it was to see opposing Christian sects quarreling over the birthplaec of our Lord, whose whole teaching was love and forgiveness of enemies and charity. It is degrading that the peace must be kept between Christian sects by Moslem soldiery. We are enjoying our tour greatly, and hope to reach Honolulu in March or April. Aloha nui to all the friends. C. H. DICKEY. IN MEMORIAM. Wm. H Bailey was born and brought up in Wailuku Maui, where the sun peeped each morning over old Haleakala, and at right threw long shadows from West Maui mountains. He was a student at Punahou when Mrs. Mills was a teacher theie, and scores of men and women now living were his schoolmates. He was a planter on Maui for years, and here his children were born. Though the last years of his life were spent in California, in mining and in developing oil lands, he was still a kamaaina and had been a "Cousin" from his childhood. For a few years his health was impaired, but on Jan. 1 he left all care and sickness behind and entered into rest. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were married on Maui, and only a few days before Mrs. Bailey's death they celebrated the fortieth anniversary of their wedding. For forty years they had lived together the !

Ist Mrs. Bailey was too ill to be told of her husband's death, and so never knew she was a widow, for on his birthday, January 24th, she awakened as from a troubled sleep, at the dawning of eternal day, to see him again and receive a welcome into the joys of heaven. They were weary, and we say, "they have entered into rest." But what shall we say of the young— those in early manhood and womanhood, who asked not for rest but for action ? Three of the younger members of the mission families have lately passed away, seeming to leave unfinished their life work. Mrs. Lottie Lee Hartwell Chater, a young wife and mother, whom we in Honolulu knew as a bright and happy girl, with winsome ways and charming personality, went, on September 3rd, "Suddenly into the brightness, Out of a shadowed day; Suddenly into fadeless dawn, The perfect Light alway." Alice Kluegel and Robert S. Andrews, each battled bravely for about three years for breath, when suddenly Death seemed to conquer, and life here ended. But no! "I have come that ye might have life," said the Master. The Lord was with them in the fight and in the victory. What if the fair young bodies, the beautiful habitations in which they dwelt, must be left behind. The souls, they themselves, had been purified, and were ready to fill the "places prepared" for them. The work was ready, they were needed, the caH had come, and they have gone. We think of them as having alreadybreathed in great draughts of life eternal ; and with more abundant life, over- flowing vitality and strength without the shadow of weakness, they have entered into their work, and are now flashing wireless messages of love, fresh from their Redeemer's lips, through space, as He directs. "Life more abundant!" Victory. ji MISS ADAMS MUCH WELCOMED (Though not written for publication, we think this extract from a letter bears a significance of interest ana value to our readers.) We found large crowds at the station, and every one seemed glad to welcome me back, but the climax was reached when I arrived at Hanabatake, and found the whole cho (ward) decorated with lanterns, flags and arches, and all the people lined up to meet me, the children waving flags, and. as I rode thru the lines, they shouted, "Adams sensei banzai!" I was so pleased, I just shouted, "Hanabatake banzai!" It was some time before I could get away, and go up to Miss Wainright's for dinner. The decorations were kept up two days, and one day they put the floating fish out for a time, as a welcome. I began at once to unpack and prepare for the bazaar, which went off well, yesterday, followed by the big welcome meeting in the park. I don't know yet how mucn money we cleared, but we took in about one hundred and eighty yen. Tonight I had another welcome meet- ing, and several follow, during the week. No chance to rest and get my house in order, but that will come. With the bazaar, welcome meetings and interviews by newspaper reporters, I haven't had the time to do some important things. ALICE P. ADAMS. Okayama, Japan. �March. 1910 ARMAMENTS AND THEIR RESULTS.* By Andrew Carnegie. Armies and navies exist and increase solely under the plea that these are the best, and indeed the only meai.s of ensurng peace. We deal with three of the axioms urg- ed in their justification. First: "To be prepared for war is the surest way to secure peace." Answer: If only one nation "prepared" this axiom would be sound; but when one arms others follow, and the fancied security vanishes. Rivalry between nations ensues, and preparation, so far from promoting peace, sows suspicion and jealousy, developing into hatred the prolific seed of future wars between nations hitherto peacefully disposed. Nations are only aggregations of men, and all human experience proves that men unarmed are less likely to quarrel than men aimed. Hence in civilized lands they are debarred from arming. Two neighbors have a difference which a friendly interview would have solved, but one acts upon the axiom, "In time of peace prepare for war," and buys a pistol. Hearing this, the other promptly "pre- pares." The first decides he is insufficiently "prepared," and buys a six-chambered revolver, an action that is immediately followed by his neighbor. With every additional weapon purchased the premium upon their lives would be promptly raised by insurance companies. These "prepared" men have only to meet by chance, when a word, a gesture, misinterpreted, results in bloodshed, perhaps death. ExThe causes of actly so with nations. wars, both between nations and men, are generally of trifling moment. So much depends upon their attitude to each other, friendly or unfriendly. If the former, no dispute but can be peacefully settled; if unfriendly, no trifle but can create war; the disposition is all. Hence the folly and danger of nations arming against each other, which must always arouse mutual suspicion, fatal to friendly relations. Armaments and true friendship are incompatible. Even nations in close alliance against other nations must always feel the alliance may give place to other and perhaps hostile alliances. Thus suspicion inevitably follows armaments as shadows follow substance. There is no escape, and suspicion is fatal.
