T. R.
The coming of this Hamburg-American liner with 650 tourists en route from
New York to San Francisco will mark a
new era in Hawaii if it lead to the suspension of the coastwise shipping laws
for this Territory. The absurdity of
these laws is apparent to everyone as
soon as personal contact therewith occurs. A law that makes such distinguished public servants as a Cabinet officer like Mr. Strauss and a Governor of
the Territory like Mr. Frear lawbreakers
simply because they are zealous in their
duty is an outrage. If the 650 tourists of
the Clark party bring their influence to
bear upon their representatives in the
National Senate and House it may be
possible to secure the attention of these
legislators to the injustice from which
Hawaii is suffering. The trouble is to
get the attention of Senators and Congressmen in the face of the persistent opposition of the protected industries which
always close ranks and fight against everything that threatens the slightest encroachment upon their prerogatives.
Slowly the American people are being
educated against every sort of special
privilege. The Ship Subsidy Bill finds
unexpected enemies. If it can be kept
from enactment through one or two more
Congresses its specter will have been laid
forever. For by that time the nation
will have had its eyes opened and the
era of tariff domination will have begun
to wane. Meantime let us continue to
fight here for freedom of transportation.
Already one influential San Francisco
paper, the Argonaut, has been moved by
the spirit of fairness to side with Hawaii.
This is a blessed sign of the times, for
hitherto that city has with strange fatality fought against Island interests with
singleness of heart. If our great neighbor would only awake to the truth that
the development of this Territory means
larger things for itself, the two communities would move ahead side by side in
mutually strengthening friendship. Why
not? The interests of both lie along the
line of the peaceful friendly evolution of
the Pacific world. When San Francisco
ends its anti-Asian crusade and takes up
the cause of the community of interests
that should bind all the peoples fronting
the Pacific into a co-operating whole, it
will assume its proper place as leader in
No. 2
the grandest historic movement of the
coming century. Like everything else
good this movement will consist of many
details. One of these is the cause of freedom of transportation. Our miserable
coastwise laws now fetter this. The very
first step in the process should be their
suspension so far as Hawaii is concerned.
The Japanese School Scare.
Klsewhere we print the report of the
so-called Japanese Christian Boarding
School. This institution is a misnomer.
It is not a school at all and never has
been.
It is a home for Japanese boys
and girls who attend Honolulu schools.
It has proved to be one of the choicest
institutions in the Islands. Here Mr. and
Mrs. Okumura have for years gathered
a few orphaned little ones together with
many children of parents who labor on
plantations, and whose boys and girls are
exposed to the sad conditions which there
menace family life. A few young men
have also been welcomed by Mr. Okumura as helpers. In this refuge these
children have found a Christian home.
Mrs. Okumura has taken the 60 or more
little ones into her motherly heart and
cared for them as her own. Mr. Okumura has been more than a father to
them. As a consequence the boys and
girls who have gone from this home have
borne a singularly noble impress. There
is no institution in Hawaii that is doing
more to produce out of Japanese boys
and girls true-hearted, loyal, American,
Christian citizens than this unselfish pastor's home. It has done its work amid
poverty. It is always in debt. Yet its atmosphere is unique, and its spirit embodies the very best that Japan and America produce. In olden days when the
Shoguns ruled the Sunrise Empire and
public schools were unknown, here and
there a Samurai blessed with the spirit
of Froebel would gather into his home a
few boys and not only teach them the
learning of his land but share with them
his own high spirit of unselfishness and
love of country. Out of these jiku, as
they were called, Japan's great men
came.
These home schools were the
nurseries of all that was best in that
country. Now to this beautiful ideal Mr.
and Mrs. Okumura have joined Ameri-
�4
ca's conception of the Christian Home.
Because it would have been impossible to
secure teachers with the lack of means
and because public school life in America
offers such large advantages, it was impossible to make this a true jiku, that is
technically a school. But all the ideal
features of the jiku were kept, that is, the
culture of the spirit. Hence out of this
Japano-American Christian home have
come a band of fine youths. One of
these is one of the most successful evangelists our Hawaiian Board has in its
Japanese work. Another is just taking
a course of study at home to fit him to
enter this work. A third is busy under
the joint employ of the Board and Makiki Church preparing himself for evanThree others are spegelistic service.
cializing along like lines. In fact this
home is proving our best theological
training school, turning out men familiar
with the field, in sympathy both with the
Japanese and American point of view,
who will prove invaluable helpers. Our
plantation managers could not do a better thing than set aside a few hundred
dollars a year to assist Mr. and Mrs;
Okumura in their noble work, and thus
free them from the burden of debt under
which they have struggled so unselfishly
the past decade.
More of the Same.

noises troubled his sleep and worried his
days. He consented to wait and see. Experiment converted him into a friend. He
lost not a boarder because of his new
neighbors, but speedily came to be their
friend. The sale of the Hyde premises
on Beretania Street to the Rapid Transit
Company necessitates the moving of Mr.
OkUmura's home. Meanwhile the removal of Mills Institute to Manoa Valley, soon to be consummated, will give
room for the older boys who now stay
with him. The younger children he
wishes to keep in his family until they
can be graduated into the Mid-Pacific.

land near the Makiki Church as a parsonage site for the minister, no damage
whatever would result to anyone. Mr
Okumura's quiet home would be found
objectionable to no one. After experience
the neighbors would realize that it was a
helpful force in their vicinity, and their
interest would be enlisted by the quiet,
orderly conduct and courteous character
of the children therein trained. Meantime we commend Mr. Okumura's semiannual report to all our readers.
The Vacant Lot Crusade.
A copy of the third report, 1908-9, of
the Vacant Lot Gardening Association of
New York City has just come to hand.
The motto of this association is "Help
others to help themselves." Its aim is
to relieve poverty by giving the poor remunerative gardening to do. Vacant lot
owners were found willing to allow their
lots to be cultivated. These were subdivided into plots and the distressed people
were induced to take each a plot and cultivate it seed free. The results were beyond expectation, and other cities, notably Buffalo, became interested. From
this beginning the association induced
applicants for relief to leave tenements
and live in tents in the open air cultivating plots of land close to their tents. This
was found both to benefit wonderfully
the health of the tenter's family and to
stimulate the longing to live outside the
city. The third step was to secure land
in the country near the city and start
families on acre lots. The work has developed slowly but with fine results, and
thus one more effective blow is being
struck at that vast modern death trap the
city tenement. One of the saddest features of Honolulu growth at the present
is the craze for erecting tenement blocks.
Large barnlike, flimsy structures unhygienic, menacing home life, breeders of
vice and gambling, these hideous buildings are the direst foes to pure home life
and clean character that we have. Fortunately the attention of the city is being
turned to them thru their menace to the
community as fire traps. Honolulu should
not have a single tenement house. Plenty
of good open land for cottages is on
every hand. A few well constructed dormitories for young men erected in accordance with hygienic requirements may
be a necessity, but some way should be
found to prevent the nuisance of the

cottage plan is the only safe expedient
for this city if we are ever to Americanize our alien population. As far as possible each such home should have its

Honolulu's public spirited men and women of wealth give this subject consider-
ation and plan to make our city ideal by
fostering little homes and by making
family tenement houses impossible? Palama's experience shows that the business
may be financed successfully. A return
of from 6 to 10 per cent may be secured
without question if the project be carefully engineered.
The Campaign of Letters.
"This lot of letters has done much for
the natives in the good opinion of the
mainland," is one of the latest words
from Mr. Woolley. He refers to the

to which this quiet but effective procedure has been employed by the people all

warmest friends of the temperance cause.

the writing of 1177 personal letters by
Hawaiians- Some of these are slaves

deliver them from the terrible traffic.
Many relatives of drunkards

Children with debauched parents have
pictured in childish language their sufferings.
It has been a spontaneous movement, the suggestion once made has been
carried out by individuals in their own
fashion. All the islands have shared
in it and Congress hns been flooded with
these personal appeals. The result has
been nothing less than a revelation. It
is safe to say that Congress never conceived so forcefully the possibilities of
the native Hawaiians. They are looking into the very heart of this people
and are beginning to realize that prohibition here is on a totally different basis
from that on the mainland. There it is
an exotic, here it has lived in the experience of a race ever since the Great Kamehameha directed the mind of his nation to the hideous menace of intoxicants.
What Congress will do it is too early to
prophecy. But we urge all the friends
of Hawaii to redouble their prayers and
efforts to influence Washington to grant
us the relief which will save the Hawaiian
race.
The Lahainaluna Decision.
Once more the Supreme Court of the
Nation has reversed our Territorial Supreme Court in the now famous Lahainaluna case. The cable reports that the
reversal is on every point. The first decision of the National court was so sweep-

opinions that when the Court hears a case
which involves the Territory it appears
to feel it to be its duty to decide if possible for the government rather than to ask
what justice demands. We do not share
this opinion because we are not in possession of data upon which to ground any)
such criticism. We would be very loth
to credit such a view because a Court
has no business to be swayed by the personnel of the contending parties in a controversy submitted to it. Its only raison
d'etre is to find the right. But human
justice is a subtle and evasive quest.
Points of view differ.
The Territorial
Court elected to take one and the National Court the other, owever to the
man on the street the Lahainaluna case
had a very simple face. The American
Board built the Lahainaluna school, expended more than $70,000 thereon and
gave it teachers who made it what it was.
No body of men on earth in their senses
are going to sacrifice a property like this
for nothing. The Board traded it to a
government who could deliver a class of
goods most valuable to the Board. Those
goods were a certain religious impress.
The United States Government succeeded to the privileges and engagements of
the Hawaiian sovereigns. This government by its constitution is prevented from
delivering the goods stipulated in the original contract. Hence it owed the forfeit, namely, the $15,000 pledged at the
time of transfer.
It is futile for the
government to plead "we do give the religious impress stipulated;" because even
if at any given moment it should chance
to do this thru the excellent personality
of some teacher, it violates its own constitution in so doing, it can give no possible guarantee of the continuance of the
impress, nay it is pledged by its organic
law not to continue it. It is to be judged not by what it winks at but by what
in justice to its own law of being it must
do. This is so clear that all pleading to
the contrary seems sophistry to the simple
soul unlearned in the law. Of course
the Territory may turn Lahainaluna over
to the American Board Trustees in lieu
of the $15,000. In either case the work
of the Fathers will be maintained by the
forfeit which the government makes. The
interests of education for manhood will
merely be enhanced by this decision of
the National Supreme Court. Looked at
by the man on the street the Territory
gets a mighty cheap bargain, the La-

Tidings of a Friend.
Friends of the Rev. Curtis E. Shields,
in Hawaii—and they are many—will be
glad to know that after leaving the Islands as soon as he was ready to take a
pastorate he was called at once to a very
promising field in Defiance, Ohio, a city
of 10,000 people.
Here a fine church
engaged in erecting a new meeting house
wanted him and he is both settled and
hard at work. Mr. Shields will do well
wherever he goes because he has the
right stuff in him.
THE SCHOOL FUND COMMISSION
FEELER.
Messrs. Bowen, Farrington and Wood,
the commission appointed by Governor
Frear to study the question of methods
of raising funds for public education and
to recommend some plan that will rescue
our territorial school system from the
chaos that now characterizes its financial
life, have done very wisely in issuing a
feeler in the shape of a little pamphlet
embodying suggestions which are submitted for criticism. These tentative propositions are three in number: first, a plan
for the preparation of the Budget of Estimates ; second, a proposal to levy a mill
tax; and third, a recommendation to increase the annual poll tox, and reserve a
definite part thereof for school support.
The Friend has been asked by the commission to express its mind upon these
suggestions and to offer some of its own.
It is happy to comply with the request.
First, the plan for preparing the Budget of Estimates. Viewed superficially
it seems cumbersome as it calls for the
co-operation of no less than five separate
sets of reviewers, the Department of Education, a special Board of Estimates, the
Governor, the Joint Committees of the
Legislature and the Legislature itself.
However, it is not as heavy with red tape
as it seems, because it adds only one to
the present number of inquisitorial units,
the special Board of Estimates. The suggestion comes from former Superintendent Babbitt and embodies the
results of his experience. Evidently
he hopes that such a Board will enable
the superintendent to influence Governor
and Legislature not to knife the Edu
cational Department's estimates so
cruelly as has been their habit for the last
half dozen years. And the people are
with him in this longing. Hence by all
means give us the Board of Estimates if
it can squeeze out larger appropriations.
Second, the proposal to levy a mill tax
for purely educational purposes. This is
excellent. Hawaii is richer than the
rest of the American Union in annual per
capita production of wealth. Yet it spends
a niggardly $2.07* per capita on its public schools annually, against the mainland's average of $3.66. Compare its record with that of the following Western
States:

to

We ought
be willing to
ourselves more for our public schools. By
all means, give us the mill tax as a permanent source of supply.
Third, the proposed increased poll tax.
We know of no state with a poll tax
higher than $1.00. Hawaii levies $500
and the proposition now is to make this
$8.00, and apply $5.00 thereof to publid
education. At present $2.00 of the poll
tax is deceitfully called a school tax. As
a matter of fact it is no such thing and
the suggestion that this falsehood be ended by turning the school tax over to the
Department of Education is in the interests of honesty.
The whole question of
our poll tax, however, is a miserable one.
In the first place, clergymen are exempt,
presumably because they would be sure
to pay, and the great mass of them are
ill able to afford it. Again, it is said
that no great pressure is brought to bear
upon the mass of Hawaiians to cause
them to obey the law, because the tax is
so inordinately high. Furthermore, the
tax is believed to be aimed chiefly at Asiatics. Inasmuch as it is impossible to
collect successfully, generally the plantations, pay for them. The principle is
thoroughly bad.
A law levying a tax
which it is not the intention of the
law makers to collect from many
of those who are legally bound to
pay it, invites its own infringement,
essence
wrong. It
in
and is
has no place in the statute books of a law
and order loving community. A proposal
to enact more such law deserves rejection
and our present poll tax law should be
repealed or amended into honesty.
As for further suggestions we have
only one at present to offer. Ever since
the famous North-West Ordinance of
1787 Congress has consistently fostered
the cause of public education in its new
territories, has often decreed that certain
lands be set aside for the support of
schools, and has ratified constitutions of
new states containing such provisions. In
the case of Hawaii the Organic Act did
practically nothing for public education.
Some years ago the suggestion was made

JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D.
It is too early to make any specific prediction about federal prohibition in Hawaii, but our fight for it has opened
most favorably in Congress, and by the
time this letter appears in The Friend
for February it may be supplemented
with important cable news. At any ratt
it may be said conservatively and confidently that the temperance cause in the
Islands is receiving great reinforcement
from the mainland.
The presentation of the need for or
ganized total abstinence work, combining
strong social and musical features, among
the native Hawaiians was received by the
Grand Lodge of Good Templars with
instant and most cordial sympathy, and
the National Grand Lodge is preparing
to put a trained organizer at work establishing a line of lodges throughout the

of total abstinence promises very rich returns, even if the licensed saloon is to
continue, but if the beverage liquor trade
becomes an outlaw it will still be very
useful, for in my opinion both on the
islands and the mainland, no matter how
successful we may be in securing prohibitory legislation we must return to the
fundamental personal equation, in the interest of individual betterment and the
enforcement of public law.
From Santa Cruz, California, where I
met the Good Templars, on October 12-14, I traveled eastward slowly, addressing large audiences on the way. I wish
somebody could have reported those
meetings to my critics in Honolulu who
call me an outside meddler engaged in
giving the islands a bad name. On that
trip I made ten thousand people directly,
and I don't know how many more indirectly, understand clearly that Hawaii is
America at Its most beautiful, and from
the standpoint of world power, its best.
It is astonishing how vague and foreign
the mainland idea of us is, and 1 enjoy
a very comfortable consciousness that

But, of course, I did not fail to say

whispering lies to the ignorant and the
weak—traitor to industry, traitor to order, traitor to health, traitor to law, traitor to school, traitor to soldier, sailor, missionary—and has a license.
At Chicago, December 7th, the opening
gun of the National Convention of the
American Anti-Saloon League was fired
in the Chicago Opera House, where I
told the story of the liquor plague in Hawaii, from the escaped convicts who
brought it there a hundred years ago, to
the frightened poison blenders of the present day. Then and there two members
of Congress pledged themselves to help
the Johnson bill through Congress and
prophesied that it would pass.
At Washington, December 17, the
Senate Committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico met to hear my argument, and from the questions asked by
the Senators and their close attention it
was abundantly evident that they were
interested, and those of us who took part
in the hearing felt strongly justified in
believing that a majority was favorably
inclined.
A neatly printed pamphlet containing
the protest of the territorial legislature,
was already in the hands of every SenI
ator and was dealt with first of all.
reckon that it was completely disposed
of by our mere suggestion that as a matter of law the territorial relation was based on the theory that the federal government carried the right and the duty of
control, and that, without any affront to
the citizens involved.
For the rest, an analysis of the Hawaiian legislature and a few life-like
sketches of its liquor personnel appeared
to be interesting and convincing. The
patriotic anxiety of the legislature about
popular rights dropped with a dull thud
before the statement of fact, that the
mere mention of a plebescjte to let the
Hawaiian people pass on the liquor question would throw their misrepresentatives into hysterics.
For my argument in behalf of the Hawaiian people I read from the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser, the interview of
Prince Cupid—an ideal statement of our
case by the best possible authority. And
the case on behalf of the army and navy
was self-evident.
In this first hearing I took pains to
publish all the weaknesses of our position and all the criticism made upon it.
together with the authorship of them.
And in this connection I made a clean
breast as to the low temperature of my
own relation to the territorial statesmanship and that my activity was resented as
that of a meddling outsider with a salary.
I made it clear that I was not the author
February, 1910
nor instigator of the Johnson bill, and
had been in entire ignorance of it until it
appeared in the newspapers, but that 1
had been instructed by my board, representing, in general, the Christian and
educational interests and activities of the
islands, to give all the aid in my power to
the bill, and that I was backed by practically the whole body of well informed
and well disposed native people. One
Senator remarked grimly, "They all seem
to be writing letters to me."
I am very proud of the fact that the
Christian men and women of the islands.
the teachers and educated youth of the
whole group, have let loose an avalanche
of letters and petitions which in volume
and in subject matter has instantly compelled the attention of both houses of
Congress. One Senator asked me if I
did not expect a counter current of letters and petitions. I answered that I
thought it could not be produced, but
that if it could we should welcome it with
enthusiasm, for we desired nothing better than to fight it out in the open. Of
course, it can't be produced. Churches,
schools, social settlements, missions and
Christian men and women can't be had
for that. And such people as can be had
for such correspondence can't write convincingly, except adversely, to their own
purpose.
One of the most powerful Senators
said to me privately, "You ought to win,
and I think you will, but you are in for a
big fight;" and a leading representative
said, "If you can get past the Senate your
bill will pass the House." I replied, "I
have here a bill which I wish to have introduced in the House. Will you take
charge of it?" And he said, "Yes."
I have written hastily and frankly,
with full knowledge that the enemy will
read, and do its worst. So be it. We are
not playing politics, but fighting above
board, for the bodies and souls of men
and the honor of the flag, and I want the
readers of The Friend to see the fighting.
We may not win, but we have a fighting
chance to.
And remember this. If we fail the responsibility will be at the door of the
missionary whites. Give me the whole
weight of their influence and I'll bring
back the scalp of the liquor wolf.

from the minister's message will,
we are sure, be of general interest:

natural selection. They arc at the front
in trying to better politics, some thru the
regular political organizations, others
thru that free lance, the Civic Federation.
The Men's League spent $667 in itself in
1909. In 1910 it will more than double
that figure for others.
The Women's

"Too many churches," cries Prophet
Gladden, "are sponges rather than
springs of influence —which devote their
energies to building themselves up out
of the community instead of Joining
themselves into the community in streams
of service, which have not learned that
it is as true of churches as of men, that

sorts of church life."

Ode to The Farmer*
By th» late
SADAYOSHI TAKAHASHI, Evangelic at Makaweli, Kauai,
Translated from the Japanese by F. S, S.
11l
i
THE FARMER'S CALL.
ROYAL EXAMPLE.
In the rosy-fingered dawn of history
Some twenty centuries agone
Our country's breeze—swept fields waved far and near
With crops of rice and barley, wheat and corn.
Once strayed our people from the gracious rule
Of their true sovereign. Then Feudal lords
Held sway, and Samurai with proud contempt
looked down upon the swordless farming class.
Encouraged by the Emperor, people crowned
But when our Heaven-descended Emperor
Resumed his right, he forthwith, by a word,
All classes on an equal footing placed,
And thus again the farmer's rank restored.
Thus in the soil our forbears laid secure
Foundations for Japan's prosperity,
Bequeathing this rich heritageto us,
To have and hold it for our native land.
First, dazzled by the new light from the West,
Our youth forsook the tilling of the soil,
Esteeming it a calling too obscure
Compared with new found opportunities.
The hills and Allied the vales with thrifty homes
And tilled the soil, while from their hearths the smoke.
Like incense from contented altars, rose.
Accept, my countrymen, the sacred trust.
Spurn not the farmer's calling; honor it,
Adorn it. Search the world for new ideas;
Be experts in the art of husbandry.
Then we a higher principle discerned;
T'was this:—that any work is honorable
That's honorably performed; and character
May thrive on farms, well as in Senate halls.
II
THE OPEN DOOR.
Say not the land is narrow. Lift your eyes!
For northward lie Hokkaido, Wagalicn;
And southward, Loochoo, and Formosa too,
All in the Sunrise Kingdom,—beckoning you.

Abroad, Korea and Manchuria,
Hawaii nei, and all America,
Both North and South, a tempting opening
Present to faithful tillers of the soil.

of his farm, we hold
He ought to raise a noble character.
Of all vocations, none affords a chance
More rare to grow in manly excellence.
Does not that man his character adorn
Who gives the finished touch to all his work,
Who gives full weight, and measure shaken down,
And guards his neighbor's welfare as his own?
To gain unfair advantage, men sometimes
Have sent abroad dishonest goods, and thus
Have brought our country Into disrepute
And dragged Japan's fair name In foreign dust.
To us then, farmers, louder sounds the call
To spurn dishonesty. With honest goods,
With silk of matchless texture, let us win
Again from other lands praise for our own.
Did not Ninomiya, our farmer sage,
Regard himself of holy Heavea called
The plow to follow? We, like him, may make
Our farms the stepping stones to cherished fame.
The farm our country doth enrich. It turns
Waste places into gold. For dreadful war
The sinews it supplies, of blessed peace
Its peaceful folk the best defenders are.

And did not Washington, who left his plow
To found a mighty commonwealth, forthwith
Return again to husbandry, and say
Farms are the basis of our nation's power?
On that foundation reared, America,

THE FARMER'S RECOMPENSE.
A wholesome moral influence pervades
The farmer's home. No dreams of sudden wealth
Unbalance him. He can not fondly hope
The soil will yield a fortune in a day.
A little patch of ground he first acquires.
And tills it to perfection. Then, by thrift,
He adds to- that a field, and still to this
An acre, till at last he owns a farm.
Who better know than they who labor hard
That labor is its own reward? To such,
Success well earned, strong arms, and robust health
Repay sevenfold the irksomeness of toil.

Who works in partnership with Mother Earth?
Says he, "I touch the ground and make it sing,
I plant it, and it smiles at me with flowers.

What joy to view the landscape I have made,

MR. TAKAHASHI AND HIS BIBLE CLASS
A PITIFUL TRAGEDY
A bolt from the blue sky has fallen upon the family of Mr S. Takahashi, our
noble evangelist of Makaweli, whose picture is in the centre of the above group
of young men. On the 22nd of January
Mrs. Takahashi underwent a serious operation in Palama Hospital. On the next
evening Mr. Takahashi was riding over
a rather dangerous road to hold a
preaching service in Makaweli Camp 4.
Some time afterwards his horse returned
riderless. Search was made for him and
he was found unconscious at the bottom
of a cliff three hours after he had fallen.
Three days later his spirit took its flight
to the side of the Master to whom he had
so devotedly given his life and strength.
Two days after the accident a letter came
to his wife which her husband had written a few hours before his fatal fall, encouraging her to bear cheerfully the suf-
fering in the hospital, and hoping she
would soon be able to join him in carrying out their larger plans for work in
the camps.
The loss of so noble a
friend and worker seems too hard to accept, but what of the poor wife and three
children who in addition to the sorrow,
must also fa-e the future!
Mr. Takahashi had a truly remarkable gift in winning men, and holding
them in complete devotion to his ideals.
His Sunday school and his church services produced a profound impression of
reverent orderliness and careful, painstaking training. During his two years'
service in Makaweli he has rescued to
manhood and trained to service twice the
number of men that appear in the above
photo, and that in a field where at first
he found hardly a single adherent.
Always
scholarly, yet preaching
straight from a burning heart, and with
a voice which of itself at once caught the
attention and won the heart, Mr. Takahashi was always welcomed as a speaker
and invariably left the impression of
man with a great and important message
which had taken possession of his life
and which he longed to have take possession of his hearers.
He had recently prepared two books
especially adapted to conditions in Hawaii, one on the subject, "A Young
Man's Preparation for Life," another
entitled "Counsel to Parents." His untimely death will add new interest to the
"Ode to the Farmer" which appears in
this issue.
Where are we to look for the successor
of such a man ? May his fall be like that
of the Hon. lon Keith Falconer, by the
inspiration of whose death after a short
service in Aden, two vigorous missions
were established in neglected Arabia!

The first decade of the century has
been a great one in Y. M. C. A. work
in the U. S. and Canada. During these
ten years the Association has grown
wonderfully in every department. The
membership has reached 465,000, these
associations owning property which in
ten years has grown from $26,000,000 to
$66,500,000. The educational department has grown from 998 teachers
teaching 25,900 students to 49,148 students with 2184 instructors. These students paid $375,000 in tuition last year.
The physical department has grown from
80.373 members to 216,262, and in addition to this 194,425 men and boys have
received physical instruction outside the
membership. The 243 railroad associations now number 75,721 members.
We Smile.
Some misinformed people have said
the Y. M. C. A. of today is not what it
formerly was as a religious agency. They
are right, but for a reason different from
the one they imagine. We smile as we
show that whereas ten years ago 4438
men and boys were won to the Christian
life thru Association agencies, last year
the number reached the fine figure of
20,116. This was brought about in part
by an attendance of 2,767,472 at religious
meetings, compared with 1,027,242 ten
years ago, and 68,700 enrolled in Bible
classes as compared with but 13,676 in
1900.

country towns. The foreign work has
advanced its firing line till now 86 secretaries are working in i5 countries, with
84 associated native secretaries.
These facts make us proud of our organization, thankful to God for his great
blessings, and give us a sense of responsibility. The Y. M. C. A. must do the
big work to which it has been called, and
for which men have provided it equipment.
JS
The Boys.
The boys are now to have their innings. For a long time the boys' clubs
and the Y. C. A. Boys have
been neglected till a man could be
found to devote his time to this department. Mr. R. S. Gault arrived the first
of January and has taken charge. He
has already demonstrated his ability to
lead the boys, and will soon have the
clubs and boys' department of the Y. M.
C. A. in good running condition. Boys'
work offers a large field in Honolulu,
but a peculiarly hard one owing to the
difficulty of getting the boys indoors.
Mr. Gault is-not afraid of work and we
look for results.
The Soldiers.
The Association has held several meetings at Fort Ruger recently, addressed
by Rev. A. C. McKeever. No man in
Honolulu is so popular with the men of
the service as is Mr. McKeever, and the
boys at the fort turned out in good numbers to hear him. The series of talks
being given at Fort Ruger will be given at Fort Dv Rusey as soon as conditions are favorable. Many of the men
from the ranks take advantage of the
educational department of the Association, and are learning to be bookkeepers
and stenographers after they are mustered out of the army.
One of the most encouraging things
to see is the great growth of religious
work among college men, till now every
third college man in America belongs to
the Association, which in college is
strictly a religious organization, having
no educational or physical work. Further, 33,000 college men are in Bible

Pope and Lindsay.
The last two appointments of the Governor have been from the Board of Directors of the Association. Mr. W. T.
Pope, chairman of the educational department, becomes superintendent d
public schools for the territory, and
Judge Alexander Lindsay, Jr., also a director and teacher of commercial law in
the night school, is appointed attorneygeneral. We are glad to have our judgment of these men confirmed by the chief
executive of the territory, and that along
the very line for which they were chosen
directors, the one to head the educationa 1
work, the other to be the legal end of
the Board.

Plans for the Building.
The officers of the Association have
decided to secure plans for the new building by means of an architectural compe
tition. M essrs. Dickey, Pinkham, Traphagen, Ripley, and York & Sawyer from
the States have been asked to enter the
competition, while it is thrown open to
all local architects that care to enter. The
competition opened February first, and
plans must be in the hands of the building committee by April first. It will
then take a month to finish the plans
chosen and perhaps a month to let contracts. We now hope to break ground in
June, and to complete the building in one
year from that time.
Double Last Year.
The opening of the commercial law
class under the leadership of Judge Lindsay brought 25 more men into the night
school, making a total enrollment of 222,
which is almost double last year's record,
114. There are still two months of
school, and it is likely that the enrollment
for this year will be more than double
last year's total. This is a great record
for Mr. Larimer, the new membership
and educational secretary. The membership is also growing; 485 in the spring,
it is now 655.

Dr. Scudder** Talks.
The series of talks by Dr. Scudder on
"Young America's Religious Problems"
is to be given at the Association building

happy in solving the problems a young

Boys' Work Conference
A dozen men interested in the work
for boys met at the Myrtle Boat House
Monday, January 24th, to plan the year's
activities. It was the most enthusiastic
meeting we have had in many months.
As a result of this conference the boys'
field will be put in shape and track meets
and baseball games held there as soon as
the work is finished. Th;> trade school
at Palama will probably be discontinued,
the government having awakened to the
need of manual training and relieved the
clubs of this work, in which it has pioneered. Clubs will be organized on three
bases. Church clubs, affiliated with a
church, school clubs, and district clubs.
The interest the Oahu College teachers
and students are taking in helping in the
district clubs encourages us as well as
adds valuable workers to the force.
KAUAI NOTES.
The Christmas season was duly celebrated
by the Churches and Sunday schools on
Kauai in spite of the very inclement weather. Most, if not all of the Sunday schools
had Christmas trees or the equivalent,
which brought joy to the hearts of the young
people. The observance of Christmas in
this way is becoming more and more general and has had a beneficial effect on the
Sunday schools by increasing the numbers
and stimulating the interest.
The Old Historic Hawaiian church at Lihue is being enlarged and renovated, and
will again be used by the Hawaiians for
their church services. When the beautltui
new Union church building was erected,
the use of the old church was given up;
but now, In order that both congregations
may have their morning service at 11 a. ttV
the old church will be brought into use
again. The expense of enlarging and repairing will be met mostly by the Rice
family.
The Kapaa parish are the happy possessors of a fine new Sunday school hall witn
a large seating capacity, such as is required on special occasions for Sunday
school exhibitions, etc.
It is very largely the gift of "Mother
Rice."
Kapaa is also making plans for a new
parsonage.
The Anahola people are working for a
new Christjan Endeavor Hall such as that
recently built at Kapaa. The money is
mostly in hand and they expect to begin
building soon.

I pointed out these facts to our people
on the plantations; and it moved the
hearts of many. As a result four girls
were sent to Kawaiahao Seminary and
nine boys to our school. It is my intention to again visit Maui and Hawaii.
We have at present 63 children: 14
from Kauai, 7 from Maui, 2 from Hawaii, y from Oahu and 30 from Honolulu.
We are supporting nine children. Five
of them orphans, one was left by his
parents, who have gone to the mainland,
and two are placed under my guardianship.
There are twelve children who, owing
to the poverty of parents, pay only half
rates. These children are supported every month of the year, while the others
return to their homes during vacation
months. This is the reason for our financial difficulty.
We wish to express our hearty thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Jones and Mrs.
C. M. Cooke for the Christmas gifts.
We sincerely trust that our kind-hearted friends will continue to help us in
the future as they have in the past.
The semi-annual report is respectfully
submitted.
In publishing this semi-annual report
of the Japanese Christian Boarding
School, 1 must first of all thank our generous friends, who have from time to
time assisted the school financially. The
following donations have helped largely
to in a measure liquidate the deficit
shown by the last report. From Mr. S.
M. Damon, $25.00; Air. F. J. Lowrey,
$25.00; Mr. F. A. Schaefer, $25.00; Mrs.
J. B. Atherton, $50.00; Mr. F. C. Atherton, $25.00; Mrs. M. S. Rice, $50.00;
Mr. and Mrs. T. Richards, $25.00; Mr.
W. A. Bowen, $25.00 and Mr. G. P.
Castle, $50.00, making the total amount
of three hundred dollars donated, and
leaving the small deficit of $iy2.ys to be
carried over to our next report.

much esteemed pastor, but of late not in
the ministry, have been gathering at the
William and Mary Alexander Parsonage
every Tuesday for deeper study of the
"things of God."
The course has been somewhat varied to
suit the needs of the men engaged in the
study—New Testament Apologetics, with a
view to understanding exactly what opposition Jesus faced, has been studied. That
magnificent work of Dr. Clarke's "An Outline of Christian Theology" has been put
into simpler English, and each man has been
furnished a typewritten copy. Again thu
work of three weeks has been carefully
translated into Hawaiian by Mr. Sam. T.
Kalepa, and the translation mimeographed
for the Monthly Theological School. Sermon Outlines have been a prominent part
of the study. Suggestions have been given
one week, and each man has worked out
his own outline in English the weeK following. These, too, have all been typewritten,
so each man could see just what the other
men were accomplishing not only, but be
able, also, to offer intelligent criticisms.
Of course, this work takes time, but it
pays, for every member of the class is inspired to do better and more thorough
work as a minister of Christ. Often, besides the strictly theological work, the mem
bers prepare essays upon some important
Church problems that have been troubling
either the minister or his congregation.
On Halloween Night at the Parsonage
ir, Wailuku a laree number sf eh" members
of the Union Church and congregation
gathered for a social evening under the
auspices of the Women's Aid Society. It
was a decidedly jolly evening, for, in the
first place everyone who could be there
was there, and in the second place everybody was determined to have the best time
in the whole year. The various stunts so
familiar to the fun of college days were
practiced, and then toward the end of the
entertainment popcorn and candy with
merry songs closed an evening that was
pronounced a decided success.
During the larger part of the month of
November workmen were improving the
new parsonage and grounds. New fences
and a handsome stone wall were built, while
in the interior much work was done that
added greatly to the comfort of the delightful rambling house that has been the home
of so many of the Maui missionaries. One
of the constant pleasures of the beautiful
Parsonage is the sweet memory of so many
who have labored in the Lord's work, and
found here their home. Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, for whose father and mother the Parsonage is named, has done a very great

has rapidly built up under the efficient pastorship of Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa, who
came from Hana to this his second charge.
He is an energetic worker among his people, and the result is telling in good audiences, and faithful interest on the part ot

Christian Endeavor to the Front.
During the month of January, the
Christian Endeavor movement has been
brought very prominently to the front
through the visit to Honolulu of "Father
Endeavor" Clark, Secretary Shaw and
other C. E. officials of national and international fame.
These leaders of the
World's Christian Endeavor Union were
in Honolulu from Sunday morning, January 23rd to Monday afternoon January
24th as through passengers on the S. S.
"Cleveland" that has been taking Clark's
Tour around the world. The fact of
their coming to Honolulu had been welladvertised among the C. E. societies of
the islands. Several of the societies had
sent delegates to meet these leaders. As
many as twenty were noticed in the sessions at Kawaiahao. and it is likely that
several others were present.
These men
and women were sent to represent their
societies, showing the interest that is
taken in the C. E. movement on all the
islands. This fact was spoken of by Dr.
Clark, Secretary Shaw and others. Some
of the local Endeavorers, wishing to to
extend a warm welcome to the party on
the 'Cleveland" had gone out in a launch,
but were disappointed in not being able
to go on board. The travellers were givA DELIGHTFUL GATHERING.

addressed the Junior C. E. rally at Central Union Church, presided over by Miss
Yarrow, President of the Junior C. E.
societies of Hawaii nei. There was a
large audience present at this service as
there was at the morning and evening
services.
The most important of all the gatherings of the day was the one at Kawaiahao
church in the evening, at which time the
repreentatives of the Territorial G E.
Union and the Oahu Young People's
Union met for a roll-call and to listen to
the words of greeting from Dr. Clark,
Mr. Shaw and others. It was a most
cosmopolitan gathering that assembled in
the old historic church that evening to
give the World's C. E. Union officials
the greetings of the Hawaiian C. E. societies. Such a meeting as this is sure to
result in increased interest in the C. E.
movement throughout the islands as the
delegates return to their homes and report back to the societies what they have
seen and heard. It has been a great
time for the local Endeavorers and it is
to be hoped that this recent inspiration
will result in a forward movement all
along the line and that the motto of this
organization will be carried out more
faithfully than ever before, "For Christ
and the Church."

Teacher Training.
Last year it was the aim of the Superintendent to introduce some necessary reforms in many of the schools. Some of
these reforms pertained to the management of the schools and the conduct of
the district superintendents. This year
it is the purpose of the Superintendent to
work on the vital problem of the training
of teachers. Though there are many problems in our Hawaiian Sunday Schools
none is as pressing as the problem of the
efficient teacher. You may hold your
school in a splendid building and have
it full of boys and girls and elder people
and yet it may be a failure as a school,
because the teachers know neither how
to teach nor what to teach.
The problem is a very real one in
our country schools where so much of

At the Kapoho station I" was met by
Mr. Riifus Lyman and later met Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Lyman, at whose residence I made my headquarters for a
few days. We held a meeting that afternoon in the interests of the Sunday
School and were assisted by Rev. L. K.
Kalawe, pastor of the Puula Church,
Rev. J. N. Kamoku, pastor of the
churches in Kau, and Mr. Rufus Lyman.
On Wednesday morning I visited the
public school of Kapoho, and at Mrs.
Lyman's invitation gave a short talk to
the young people. Riding down to Opihikao along the interesting road that
runs between lava flows, groves of coeoanuts and skirts the grand old ocean,
I reached the school in time to say a
few words to the children before it was
time to keep my appointment at the
Opihikao church. The latter was well
filled with an attentive audience, and
we had a fine meeting. Rev. J. H. K.

the meeting we were invited to the
home of Mr. John Kahao for the noonday meal of fish and poi, followed by
some delicious draughts of "niu haohao." It is a lonely ride to Kalapana.

stranger in that part of the country.
We held a meeting in the church that
evening and though it was not well attended because the men were very
weary from all-day working on the
road between Kalapana and Kamaile,
nevertheless there was an attentive
spirit manifested. I was the guest over
night of Mr. John Kama, who was recently licensed by the Association at
Lanpahoehoe. The next morning we
visited the school and were asked to
speak to the children—an opportunity
that was not neglected. We were
somewhat impressed with the fact at
this school and other schools in Puna

James A. Wilder with the musical collaboration of Captain Berger and Messrs.

wording was almost entirely scriptural,
the music subdued and beautiful, the details very simple and natural but all conceived with such perfect art that the
impression made on every one was profound and moving. It was the drama
in the Church yet it was distinctively a
religious service, as far above the ordinary Christmas entertainment for Sunday Schools as can be imagined. The
drama in the Church ! Why not ? The
drama was the daughter of religion.
One of the noblest Bible works is drama.
The ancient Hebrew prophets were
actors who employed the resources of
dramatic art to produce their deep impressions. Jesus Himself was the great
histrionic Master, an inspiration to the
actors of every age. He came to enact
the good tidings of God's love. In doing so he conformed to the canons of
dramatic art. Witness his scourging the
hucksters out of the temple, his consumate art in dealing with the case of the
woman taken in sin, his incomparable
use of that dramatic form, the parable,
his last message to the Baptist, his triumphal entry, many of his signs as he called them. They are the masterpieces of
the Great Dramatist and all culminated
in the crucifixion at the passover season,
exactly when his enemies least desired
such a consummation. The Church has
been false to its Master in allowing the
theater to monopolize her most potent
resource for public teaching of religion.
And if the Church means to do the large
work in the world that her Great Head
demands, she must call back to her aid
the supreme power of the drama. She
must build her meeting houses so that
great presentations of truth may be
enacted therein with all the present day
artistic resources. Men like Mr. Wilder gifted with power to serve in endeavor of this nature should be encouraged to use their talents for the Great Master. Music must be invoked to lend all
of her rich charm. In this renascence
the histrionic ability latent in numbers
of men and women will be put to loftiest
No. 1
employ. Sunday evening will become
the Church's noblest teaching opportunity and the people will not only throng
the meeting houses, not only drink in
truth made beautiful and attractive and
be moulded thereby but will have their
taste educated away from the debasing
plays which are proving such a menace
to better living in many of our great
cities.
Passing On.
The Japanese have a good custom ot
passing on gifts from one to another until they reach at last the one who can
make use of them. It is a common thing
for one living in the Sunrise Empire to
hear a Japanese friend say in presenting
a gift, "Its a mere trifle, given to me and
so has cost me nothing. I'm but passing
it on." The formula is one of politeness
and often covers a present of much value
which the giver has purchased. There
is no more intended falsehood in the
statement than in some of our own forms
of courtesy. But it emphasizes one of
the things which it is proper to do with
a gift for which the recipient has no
special use, that is, pass it on to some one
else. The essence of a real gift is not
its intrinsic value but its revelation
friendly thot. That received, appropriated by the spirit and made par? of the
inner life of the friend is the most that
the giver cares about. If in addition the
gift can be utilized by the recipient,
good. If its highest use be to carry another assurance of friendship from him
to a third person, good also. Jesus emphasized this truth of the extrinsic value
of a gift when he rebuked Judas at the
Bethany feast. "There's no waste," he
said in effect, "because Mary has given
the most delicate evidence of friendship
possible—her clear insight into my inmost soul.
She knows I must suffer
and has told the story of her sympathy
in this fragrant form." The value of
the gift great or small or its usefulness
fibred as nothing in the Savior's mind.
The heart language it bore was everything to him. Fortunately we are learning this and every Christmas emphasizes
it in the form of gifts which the givers
intend may be shared with others. Books
that used to bear inscriptions now come
with enclosed cards so that the recipient
may pass them on. Many of the more

cards are planned for repeated use. We
are thus getting further and further away
from the habit of looking gift horses in
the mouth and are prizing what we receive not at its money value, not at its
cash cost to the giver but at its friendship value, what of spirit has been put
into it by the donor. It is well. The
world is advancing.
J*
Cats and Dogs.
The past weeks have had their quota
of minor disagreements, and exhibitions
of spleen. The most amusing and unaccountable of them all has been Delegate Kuhio's outburst against Governor
Frear.
What it was all about is not
very clear except that the Delegate lost
his temper over some detail of tweedledum and tweedledee anent our land laws
and indulged in Ananias anathemas
against the Governor.
The latter was
as usual master of the situation in his
quiet effective manner and the laugh was
on the Delegate who seems to have tried
to read himself out of the Republican
party. The Home Rulers have opened
wide their arms to receive him and the
coy Democrats have handed him the mitten. But these antics arc not peculiar to
Hawaii and next year the Prince may
bob up serenely as the love feast candidate of his old time friends.
These
squabbles in family-ruled Hawaii mean
nothing. It is all in the home circle
and attributable to the Kona winds that
periodically rile every one out here in
the Mid-Pacific only to give place to the
genial trades that restore the normal good
feeling. Meanwhile the Anti-Coastwise
shipping law conflict went off with remarkable smoothness.
At the public
meeting called by the Civic Federation,
which summoned a very representative
assembly, there was in evidence but one
man's dissent to emphasize the overwhelming public sentiment in favor of
granting Hawaii common justice in freedom of travel. What Congress will do
is another matter. Rumors of the early
passage of a subsidy bill which may delay the more pressing reform are rife.
It is regretable that President Taft who
certainly is aware of our transportation
hardships has not been secured to champion fairer traffic treatment of these islands.
The Carlisle Way.

tention from the outset of his epochmaking work has been that the only way
to solve the Indian question is to assimilate the Indian into the American nation.
It is simple and Carlisle has demonstrated its feasibility past all dispute. Like
all great discoveries it is so easy that one
wonders why the American people had
not stumbled upon it centuries ago for

colonists. Yet Gen- Pratt met the stub
bornest opposition of many statesmen;
and the Indian Bureau has consistently
fought him. Thruout our national history we have demonstrated with ever increasing clearness that assimilation is the
key to every troublous racial problem.
The most diverse peoples have melted
into one common life and quickly disappeared as separate racial stocks only
to contribute elements of strength to our
broadening and deepening American life
and character. With strange inconsistency however, we have segregated fit si
the Indians politically and next the negro
socially.
Strangest of all we have
striven to keep out entirely the Eastern
Asiatic, whose character strength we can
ill spare ,in building up the dominating
human race to be. In these islands our
nation has chosen the Carlisle way of admitting the Hawaiian at once to the suffrage and welcoming him into the national life. Meanwhile historic causes have

THE FRIEND.
EFFECT OF PRAYER ON ONE
WHO PRAYS.
(Rev. Charles D. Milliken.)
Reading the sixth chapter of Luke
gives the impression that a remarkable
day in Christ's ministry followed a
night of prayer. The first deed of that
day was choosing the Twelve; apparently a simple act. but of supreme significance, requiring accurate judgment
of men. These were the men who could
best maintain Christianity after He had
gone.
The second deed was healing the infirmities of a multitude. Virtue went
forth from Him so that all who touched
Him were made whole. The first was
it work of wisdom—a clear head.
The
.second of compassion—a warm heart.
The third labor of the day was preaching the most remarkable sermon the
world has heard: "Love your enemies;
do good to them that hate you; be kind
to the unthankful and the evil." To
preach and practice these precepts require both wisdom and compassion.
These working together in a life can
strike through doubt and wrath straight
to the law of Love; can bring words
which seem visionary into actual accomplishment.
It is not likely that Christ would have
done any of these things immediately
after turning water into wine or after
feasting with publicans and sinners. He
did them after a night of prayer.
Prayer clears the mind and warms
the heart; it puts one in the best condition to perform serious duties and carry
heavy responsibilities. These are the
effects of prayer on one who prays.
Prayer must be sincere and continuous in a life that attains these results.
There is much so-called prayer that is
not real, and some real prayer that is
not continuous, and the results are
meagre. At a certain public exercise I
was asked to offer a prayer. The prayer was sincere, but feeling was absent.
Afterward I wondered if any one really
heard—if even God heard. One can
discern from the tone of another's
voice the reality of his prayer, and the
fruitage of a life will always determine
if one sincerely prays. Listening to
some public prayers, I have been skepti-
eal of their worth. And how important
is constancy! The soul must be always
open to Divine communications. The
formality may be infrequent but the
spiritual feature must be continuous if
results are to show. As a pianist detects deficiency in execution if a day's
practice be omitted, so does a heart
finely strung detect weakness in itself
if prayer is neglected.
It is probably a sad fact that too
man}' nominal Christians imitate the old
lady in the "Manxman" who, threatened with calamity, cried to the Lord
that she hadn't bothered Him for a very
long time, and if He would only deliver
her now from the impending trouble
she wouldn't bother Him again for another long time!
The effects of sincere and continuous
prayer in a life are wisdom and sympathy; virtue that goes forth which, if
it cannot heal every infirmity, does
soothe sorrows, heal wounds and drive
away fears. Indelibly stamped in memory which will ever be a benison is the
influence of a few whose lights are now
shining in celestial windows, whose
prayers, while here, must have been like
those that Sandalphon gathers as he
stands listening,—

Accessions of Equipment.
It is perhaps fitting that so closely upon Hawaii's pledge of allegiance to one
noble public enterprise it has enlisted
outside beneficence in support of another.
Uplift equipment increased to
the extent of a quarter million—this is
what the new library and Young Men's
Chirstian Association plants mean. Two
institutions which stand primarily for
education and opportunity and richness
of life are to be given efficient tools for
their work. The influences making for
justice and harmony in the relations of
man to man, of breadth and self-realization in the development of the individual,
of clarity and adjustment in the problems
that confront Hawaii have received
mighty impulse. Truly the promise they
have brougt is such as to make memorable the closing months of 1909.
The Generosity in Which We Share.
Apropos of the library gift it is interesting to recall that up to Jannary i,
1909, Mr. Carnegie had furnished funds
for the construction of almost 1800 buildings, costing in the aggregate over rii'tyone million dollars.
Practically all
English speaking countries are represented on the Carnegie map, including
the West Indies, South Africa and the
Fiji and Seychelles islands. The donations have varied in size from the earliest
gift of a single alcove of technical books
made to the Mercantile library at Pittsburg to the note which promised the
library system of Greater New York the
construction of seventy-eight buildings.
The Carnegie Method.

munity in the world may secure money
for a library building provided it does
accept these conditions.
The Carnegie Spirit
One of the questions Mr. Carnegie
asks of a petitioning community is whether it is willing to dedicate to the
maintenance of a library one tenth of
the sum that is requested for building
purposes. In some instances, however,
there have been deviations from this requirement. The inhabitants of a fishing settlement in the Orkney Islands
employed a method which recalls the
pledges made by some of our own New
England pioneers toward founding their
early colleges. Having little ready .cash
the fishermen filled their subscription
list largely with such items as the following :
Fifty pounds of dried fish.
Twenty pairs of knitted socks.
Four weeks of service by laborers.
Two days' carting.
The town was given its library. This
and the experience of another Scottish
village who.-c pledge was matched shilling for shilling reveal the heart in the
Carnegie system.
Dunfermline and the Carnegies.
The public library of Dunfermline
owes its origin not to the steel king but
to his father. Shortly after Andrew was
born the elder Carnegie joined with a
group of fellow-weavers in a plan of
pooling book collections and loaning to
outsiders any volumes that might be
desired.
Gradually the little library
grew, becoming merged finally in a
larger institution. In recent years Mr.
Carnegie has housed the public library
of his native town in a splendid building.
Not content with this he has established
at Dunfermline a magnificent social center, the purpose of which, expressed in
his own words, is "to attempt to introduce into the monotonous lives of the
toiling masses more of sweetness and
light, to give them, especially the young,
some charm, some elevating conditions
of life which their residence elsewhere
would have denied; so that a child in
his native town will feel, however, far
he may have roamed, that simply by
virtue of being such his life has been
made better and happier."

beyond refutation when they buttress
their argument with figures showing the
drain of war upon our national resources. But possibly there is compensation in the fact that much of this natural wealth has been converted indirectly into forms more enduring and of
infinitely greater value. Mr. Carnegie's
riches have come largely from the mines;
they have been transformed into agencies
of religion and art and knowledge. The
material built into the battleship may be
lost, but the public moneys which purchased it have passed thro steel into education and culture and character.
Dibble's "Sandwich Islands."

the many pet sons interested in Hawaiian
history has it been possible hitherto to
find Dibble's "Sandwich Island." The
recent reprint of this work by T. G.
Thrum now brings its possession within

Moreover a most valuable bit of Hawaiiana is given added

It is not generally known that there
has been a Protestant church at Kalaupapa, Molokai, almost contemporaneous
with the inauguration of the leper settlement. This church has been a remarkably useful and successful organization.
It began with a membership of 35, and
at times has had a membership of over
300. It has been continuously ministered to by a succession of noble and faithful Hawaiian pastors, the present pastor,

received acccessions by letter from
churches all over the territory, and has
received notably large additions on confession of faith. It has been one of the
most generous of all our Hawaiian
churches in its benevolent contributions.
It has been a spiritual home for many
afflicted with this dread disease who
have found in its light and fellowship
a better healing than that of the body.
It was well-named Siloam by its organizers, for it was sent, that is,' made possible by the compassionate love of Christian men and women from Niihau to Hawaii. The patient ministry of its pastors, who have suffered self-abnegation
in behalf of their fellows, has been a
chapter in modern heroism that is as remarkable as it has been unheralded.
An Urgent Need.
The Bible School for the preparation
of young men for the ministry is about
to open its doors to five or six promising
students. Several of the instructors are
salaried officers of the Hawaiian Board
and there will therefore be no expense
on that account. Kawaiahao church has

be no expenditure on that account. The

The Bible School presented this year
what was, by all who saw it, pronounced
to be the most beautiful representation
of the Nativity ever given in Central
Union Church.
It was an entirely original production
written and staged by Mr. Jas. A. Wilder.
The first scene represented some
shepherd boys lying asleep while in the
distance could be seen the village o(
Bethlehem. The brightness of the star
and the far away voices of herald angeis
awoke them. Then came the Three Wise
Men clad in silks and jewels carrying
their gifts to the new born King—and
enquiring the way to Bethlehem. The
dialogue, mostly the language of Scrip
ture, was most impressive.
The second scene was a tableaux tcpresenting the wise men and shepherd
boys gathered in worshipful adoration
about the mother and child in the stable.
Not a word was spoken in this scene.
Although the room was crowded to the
doors a hush fell upon the audience and
the effect was one not soon to be forgotten.
The music was in charge of Mr. W.
A. Love, chairman of the Musical Section of the Men's League. A splendid
orchestra played most effectively the music accompanying the carols and during
the final tableaux.
Everyone was so delighted with the
presentation that Mr. Wilder and those
who so ably assisted him were persuaded
to repeat it on Monday evening, December 27. for the general public who were
not able to attend the first presentation
on Thursday evening, the 23rd. when
another large audience was present.
"More Blessed to Give Than to Receive.**
In accordance with the custom of the
Bible School, this was the year for the
scholars to give gifts instead of receive.
It was a beautiful sight to see class after

present them to the minister and the

"Fifty years ago there was not a

It has made for itself a place worthy of

significance.

or two speakers prepared to give practical talks on some of the live S. S. topics, instead of so much bouquet-throwing as is noticed so often; there might be
an exhibition of a model class or perhaps
a black-board talk.
An informal conference of the teachers present might
result in much profitable discussion.
Other methods may easily suggest themselves as feasible and advantageous. The

what it should mean to the people, also
referring to the benefits that were to be

On Saturday the nth, I rode to Halawa, stopping en route at Kaluaaha for
luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. H. R.
Hitchcock. Just before dark I rode into
the beautiful valley of Halawa and was
the guest of Hon. Joel Nakaleka over
Sunday. The Rev. E. S. Timoteo had
been holding a series of evangelistic
meetings during the week with the result
that on Sunday morning thirteen new
members were received into the church.
The services of the day were unusually
interesting, beginning with an excellent
hoike, following with the morning worship at which time Mr. Timoteo preached, and concluding with a C. E. installation of new officers and a wide-awake

On Monday morning.Messrs. Nakaleka, Timoteo, Kaalouahi, the minister,

a meeting in the church. An opportunity was afforded us to speak first to the
school children in English and then to
the adults in Hawaiian. After our meeting we were delightfully entertained at
luncheon at the home of Mr. Cathcart,
the school teacher.

The following day we sailed for Lanai,
having a few hours en route at Lahaina,
where we received many favors from the
Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Burnham and the
workers at the Baldwin Settlement
House. A short passage across the channel from Lahaina found us at Kahalepalaoa and a cordial welcome awaited us
from Mr. and Mrs. Gay. Our stay on
the island was most enjoyable. The services on Sunday in the Lanaihale church
were interesting as usual and the people
of the island are actively engaged in
Sunday school, C. E. and other phases
of Christian life. It is good to know
that Mr. and Mrs. Gay are to stay on
the island and will continue to be the
earnest workers in the vineyard that
they have been during the past few years

It is the truce of Reaction to Reform.
The blue haze on the mountains, the green

almost hypnotic. The spirit of Hawaii
seems to say: "There, do not hurry, there is

To man the batteries and shipyards and
police every foot of the shore, bodies or

on duty. It has been a part of my business
to observe them carefully. They are young,
clean, quiet, and a credit to the country.
But the monotony and enforced idleness ot
the life they lead put heavy strain v] on
the soundest character. And it is there,
that the liquor trade gels in its sneaking,
poisoning work among them.
More than seventy-flve saloons are licensed to lay for them in the one island ot
Oahu—about 150 in the group. Wholesale
liquor stores are mere saloons in Hawaii,
except two or three great Arms that sell
liquor incidentally, and bona fide wholesale. The others are dram-sellers and the
worst of dram-sellers, willing, and legally
entitled, to sell any quantity, however small,
as "bottled goods," and to operate outside
bars.
The federal government has drummed the
drink out of the camps, for the health, safety and efficiency "of the soldier. The rule
is enforced, and Increasingly respected by
the officers. The territorial authorities cooperate, as to the camps outside the city,
and refuse to license man-traps at the gates,

The Island of Oahu is to all intents ana

The rule of conaxess should embrace ft all,
and the illicit liquor seller should be hunted
out as diligently as plague rats, for the
health and honor of the soldier and the
country.
The native Hawaiians, reduced now, by
the vices and diseases of Christian nations,
to some forty thousand in number, are as
fine a race, under the circumstances, as the
world can show. Measured by any standard,
they exhibit some virtues that would adorn
the nations that are more advanced. They
are nominally Christians. That Is, they are
precisely like other Christians. But they are
still the veriest barbarians when they take
to drink.
They have no love of money, to make
them stingy. They have no love of power,
to make them prudent. They have no loud
call to thrift and industry. They are gentle,
handsome, hospitable, peaceful. But they

How the Tree-Planting Proposition
Was Received.
That the offer of trees for planting
on Arbor Day met a felt want on the
part of the Japanese living in camps on
the various Islands, was evident from
the glad response accorded to the proposal that they should celebrate Arbor
Day by beautifying their home surroundings.
The above samples of trees were

to any who chose to build a protecting
fence around their trees in the camps
in the vicinity of Lihue.
Others offered to raise from seed any
kind of trees that might be desired and
furnish them free of cost to the laborers.
The number of trees ordered reached
the grand total of 5,522, though, because of the exhausted supply of certain varieties, the number actually sent
out fell short of that number by several
hundreds.
One gratifying result has been that
the Christians have in some cases laid
plans for the general improvement of
the camps in which they live, planting,
here a windbreak, there a tree that shall
give shade for playing children, or for
women who do the washing.
The following letter from Mr. Tsuji
gives a vivid description of the interest
taken in one locality:
desired, seizing this opportunity to improve the camps for their own sake, for
the sake of their children and those who
should afterward enjoy the result of
their endeavors.
Plantation managers and other
friends also gave hearty encouragement
to the plan, in some eases to such an
extent that the Tomo Prizes for the best
results in tree-planting sank into insignificance.
Mr. B. D. Baldwin offered a prize of

we got nice trees so many. I carried
about ten boxes to Hanamaulu and
gave them all before the Arbor Day, so
many people planted trees on Arbor
Day. My school boys and girls planted
many trees in my school yard on that
day. Mr. Weber is so kind for planting trees around Japanese camps. He
gave men to dig holes to plant trees and
made fences so nicely for two or three
places near the public road. If the trees
grow it will be a very nice view. All
Japanese are so glad they got fences
around their homes and planted trees.
They promised with me to take care of
the trees, to give water and clean the
yards hereafter. When you make a visit next time upon us you may see some
places nicely changed and trees growing. All people say, now Lihue Japanese have a very fine place. By and by
Lihue will be number one place on Kauai. Many people hope to get some of
the Cypress. These trees look very nice,
so they like to get them very much. I
told them they will get some after six
months after, as you wrote to me the
other day. May I ask your trouble to
send any book or materials to study for
trees or planting. We are expecting
to study on the subject of planting
trees.
Mrs. H. Isenberg is very kind, to give
help so much for fence posts and wires.
Some people are now making little gardens around their houses. Please give
thanks to her and also the officers of

ninety years of missionary work surely
abides. But the soil of barbarism is very
porous; and the application of Christian ethics to democratic social tillage is still a matter of many years of social engineering.
In short, the present developed police power of the Territory cannot meet the liquor
situation. It can help and is ready to help,
and In the long run It would win. But the
present need is too great to wait for a remotely future remedy.
Hawaii Is the Capitol of American peace,
and the model of American missions. The
federal government ought to control, can
control, the liquor traffic in the islands. The
ports are in its hands. The federal officers are capable and locally unentangled.
Its power is respected and feared. The federal judges are independent, and very able.
The federal government ought to take the
matter In charge promptly and finally. The
native people are entitled to it. The best
interests of the army and navy demand it.

A Social Settlement in Japan.
Miss Alice P. Adams, an American
Board missionary of Okayama, Japan,
stopped over in Honolulu on her return
to her field, in order to interest the
Japanese of this city in the work of the
Hanabatake (Flower Garden) Christian
Social Settlement, at Okayama, of
which she is the enthusiastic superintendent. This work was started eighteen years ago under her care and now
has seven departments, all free and all
for the very poor: 1, Evangelistic; 2,
Educational; 3, Industrial; 4, Medical;
5, Bath; 6, Boys' Club; 7, Loan Association.
As a result of the work of this Settlement the whole neighborhood has
gradually improved and people who
were strongly anti-Christian have been
won over to aid in its support.
The following vivid account of Miss
Adams' work and influence has been
written for The Friend by Mrs. John T.
Gulick:
Told in Japanese.
The recent visit of Miss Alice P.
Adams of Okayama, japan, was an
event of much interest to many of the
Japanese residents of Honolulu. On
Sunday evening November 28, she
spoke to an audience of over three hundred of that nationality at the Nuuanu
Japanese church and the interest manifested in her address was very marked.
No time was wasted on an interpreter
as none was needed.
Her subject was
the work in which she is engaged in
Okayama.
Miss Adams has been a missionary
of the W. B. M. I. for about nineteen
years.
Beginnings.
On taking up work in Okayama she
was obliged to pass through the very
poorest portion of the city as she went
to and fro in her attendance upon her

throwing small stones and dirt at the
strange foreign woman and by saluting
her with uncomplimentary epithets.
These children did not look clean, happy
or comfortable and Miss Adams sympathy went out to them. To show her
kindly feeling toward them she began to
distribute among them copies of illustrated American newspapers which, of
course ,they could not read but they liked
the pictures. These newspapers paved
the way for a closer acquaintance and
when Christmas came, Miss Adams invited quite a number of the children to
her house for a little entertainment at
the close of which they begged to be allowed to come again. Miss Adams appointed the next Sunday for the meeting
telling them however, that there would
be no sweetmeats and no gifts. This
satisfied them and the Sunday school
thus begun has continued to the present
time. Out of it has grown a day school,
evening school and regular preaching
services, also a genuine settlement work
with boys' clubs, and girls' sewing-classes, free baths, free dispensary and a
small hospital.
Five of the city physicians freely give certain hours of their
time to this work and Japanese friends
furnish the means for the purchase of
medicines.
A Blind Woman's Gifts.
Many interesting incidents were given
which show the results of this work in individual cases. One blind woman who
with her son had been helped by the
mission found a way of earning 30 sen
(15 cents) a month came to Miss Adams
with the money she had earned and giving her 10 sen said: "I want to give this
10 sen toward heating the bath. I have
had so many baths here." Then handing her another 10 sen she said "I want
this to go toward buying medicines for
the dispensary." And giving her the
third 10 sen she said, "Please use this
10 sen toward the expense of the evangelistic work." Since that time the blind
woman has shown her gratitude for what
she has received by bringing her "little
all," 30 sen a month as her contribution
to the work.
Teaching Her Father.
A little girl troubled that her father
was a gambler, plead with him to give it
up, telling him that she had learned at
school that it was wrong to gamble.
When she saw that he was not wholly
ready to change his habits she began to
think. "Father can't read, he can't write
and of course he is lonely. I will teach
him." So she got out her books and
assuring him that reading and writing
were exceedingly interesting, the little
daughter, every evening taught her father what she had learned during the day
at school.
The result was that he
ceased to gamble, went to work, and is
now supporting his family.
One of the boys reached by Miss
Adams' work is now a student in the
Doshisha Theological Seminary.
Miss Adams has just spent her vacation in the United States, and the Japanese whom she met while in the States
contributed $2,600 for the erection of
a building to be used in connection with
her work. A collection was taken at
the meeting in the Nuuanu Church

Hawaii Cousins
We are glad to have this letter from a
much missed friend:
Milan, Italy, Nov. 21, 1909.
So far as I know I have never as a
"Cousin" written a letter to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Mission Children's
Society and so will seize the present
opportunity.
My father and I have been having a
glorious time and seen too much to tell
of in a single letter without tiring you.

south to Oakland, Cal., through Seattle
and Portland, then eastward visiting relatives in Chicago, South Salem and Greenffield Ohio (where I looked up the grave
of my great-great-grandfather Robert
Dickey, South Carolina's soldier in the
Revolutionary War) and Washington,
1). C. Sailed from New York to Queenstown and have in quick succession seen
parts of Ireland, Scotland, England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland
and Italy.
I have taught Sunday school classes
on the way in Chicago, Washington,
Glasgow and London in Presbyterian,
Congregational, Wesleyan and Baptist
denominations; classes of young girls,
young ladies and boys and in no class
did I have a scholar who could tell where
Honolulu was or the Hawaiian islands.
Christian Endeavor Societies I have
found and visited in Ireland, Scotland,
England and France. Hearthy welcome
is given everywhere to visitors from Hawaii.
Honolulu Sunday schools seem
to me much more cheerful than any I
have visited.
Most of those I have
seen are held in the afternoon in basements of churches and at this time of
year in the gloaming or in the dark. A
great many childrens' meetings are held
after dark.
Wearing a collar put on bankwards is
a universal badge of the clergy here of
all denominations. The pastor of the
American church in Paris has adopted
it.
To describe the places we have seen
would be tedious and only repeat what
others have written before. In Cologne
we saw Zeppelin's dirigible balloon over
the cathedral, causing great excitement
in the streets below.
We have enjoyed as much as any part
of our trip two walks. The first was
up the Rhine from St. Goar's to Bingen. We called to the Loreley who answered us sweetly and clearly. Though
it was not the season for ripe grapes,
autumn colors made the hills along the
way beautiful.
The second walk was quite different,
being a twenty-nine mile walk through
the snow over the Simphon Pass through
the Alps to Italy. It was snowing when
we started and in taking short cuts we
may have missed the way a little for
we took much longer than our guide
book says was necessary, not reaching
the highest point (a little above the elevation of the west Maui mountains) until about three in the afternoon when
we were glad to stop for the night at a

with the three monks was most interesting and we managed to let them know

THE
where we lived and that we were on a
trip round the world and that the queer
stove at which we had warmed ourselves
was made in the year of my birth though
we spoke no Italian and but little French
and the monks spoke those languages
only. The names of but few Americans
appeared in the visitors' book of the
hospice but we found the name of one
member of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, Ruth Cornelia Shaw,
written there last July. The snow had
been well packed down on our climb up
(a goatherd with a score of two-colored
goats went ahead of us part of the way
tramping the path) but during the night
was a heavy fall of snow and as we started down toward Italy about seven in
the morning we had to walk through
snow a foot deep for several miles before
other travelers had made an easy way
for us. The universal snow must have
made the scene superior to any seen by
those who only go over in midsummer.
In the Gorge of Gondo a narrow gorge
with walls two thousand feet high there
was some blasting as we came through.
The effect of the echoes was tremendous.
It sounded for a moment as though that
were an avalanche.

A great joy is in store for those Cousins who are yet to hear of the munificent
gift to the Society of the old coral Chamberlain house.
To own this house, has been a pet idea
of Dr. A. B. Clark ever since his return
to Hawaii nei, and the Chamberlain heirs
have refused tempting offers, hoping
that this place of history-making, this
building hallowed by memories of the
early days, might continue to speak the
message of love and service which the
fathers and mothers built into its walls.
The longing to possess the building
has grown in the hearts of the Cousins,
and petitions have ascended to Him who
said, "Before they call I will answer, and
while they are yet speaking I will hear."
Negotiations have been under way
for some time, and the transfer was made
in October, but on December 13th, at
a meeting of the Board of Managers, the
SGo d

president, G. R. Carter, read a statement,
making public the fact that, "Through
the generosity of the Chamberlain heirs,
of the sons of C. M. Cooke in memory
of their father, and of I!. R. Banning, the
transfer was made and the property was
deeded to the Society as a memorial of
the Sandwich Island Mission."
Plans have been submitted for the
renovation of the building, and as soon
as money is available such changes will
be made as shall make it suitable for
storing and preserving relics of the old
mission. There will also be an assembly room, a library, and a fireproof vault.
Another generous gift was from the
Castles, who bought and deeded to the
Society the frame house adjoining the
coral building, with the lot on which it
stands. This makes possible other interesting and important changes, helpful
to the city as well as to the Society.
