Iit IHI I- The Sweet Kindergartens. The "Child garden"—how fitting the name. A place of growth, and of beauty; of delicate and tender Bowers, nourished by hands of gentleness and love. The other day we passed a teacher with hei throng of little tots rollicking after her, as they took a morning walk on the She was lovingly turning avenue. the dear little hearts, and they towards were delightedly tumbling along after her, with glee and laughter. Those were happy hours in school. The babes were happy; ihe teacher was happy. It was a garden of joys. It is a blessed thing for the careworn mothers to know that their little ones are safe for many hours in hands that are wise and gentle. They are in an atmosphere of order, of kindness, of intelligence, of animation, of cheer and satisfaction. They are undergoing a sweet and happy discipline efficiently adapted to educate their infant natuies by the most attractive methods. They carry back to their often poor and dismal homes lessons of order and gentleness which gradually refine, and elevate those homes. Each kindergarten is charged with blessing and cheer to children and There is no work more helpful parents. done in this city, and none more fruitful of lasting good in the characters of those thus cultivated and shaped in tender years. Prayer for Colleges. The long wonted d.iy for special prayer for Institutions of Learning came last week; anil the occasion, as usual, received special observance at Oahu College, where many friends were gathered to unite their petitions for spiritual bles sings upon the youth under instruction, as well as to make special pleas to the students to cultivate their noblest na tures, by seeking the grace of God. There is scarcely any object in praying for which the desires ol Chriat.Rt._l are so deeply and tenderly enlisted as tor the spiritual till ogement and divine growth of those select and precious youth pursuing higher studies, in whose progress such bright hopes are Wrapped up, and in whose future character for go id are involved such vast uppoi tunnies of fruit ful service for God and man, A Christian College is, or should be, a compact organized gathering of consecrated, enlightened teachers and ol earnest, impressionable youth, where the latter shall acquire not merel) human erudition and science, and intellectual culture, but where they shall equally experience the highest moral culture and spiritual growth. Tne intellectual part of the man may be highly disciplined, while the vital, spirituil nature is left torpid and atrophied. A college where such is the case, And no spiritual life prevails, where the teachers are md iff_T ent to the highest things, and the stu dents breathe no atmosphere of faith and divine uplifting, such a college is a place, not of lite, but of atrophy and stupor in all the highest part of man's being. In the ardent pursuit of knowledge; in the vehement rivalry of scholarship, both teachers and students arc in danger of forgetting the best and highest things, so that even ihe mental growth suffers from the lack of spiritual vigor. Scho lai ship is never so high and active, as when waves of spiritual enthusiasm waken all the noblest activities of the students. Such breathings of mental and spiritual power come by the work of the Holy Spirit. Well then may we importunately beseech the Father to bestow the Holy Spirit upon the souls of instructors and students, so that the college may be a place of constant spiritual as well as mental growing. Noble college edifices and wealthy endowments may have their value. Too otteil they deaden the active spiritual lite of the college or seminary. The noblest men for public service come more rarely from the old and wealthy universities, far more often from poor 9 The Friend NUMISKK 2 and struggling colleges where devout and lofty souls preside and create an atmosphere of purest and highest learning. Let the wrestling petition then be that tbe divine power may rest richly on the instructors and students of our schools of learning, making them seats of the loftiest and most abiding spiritual activity. So shall our educated youth become fountains of lite and health am nig men. Mr. Lewis to Labor on Maui. The Rev. John M. Lewis goes to his new field ol labor on Maui, with the high commendations of his many friends in Honolulu, and with their most earnest prayers tor his success in his new field. Mr. Lewis has labored, foi a year and a half with zcai and efficiency in connection with the Falama Chapel, and has gamed in a very high degree the confidence and affection ol the people of 'hat district, who arc grieved to part with him Mr. Lewis now engages in a much larger field, being expected to visit and labor among the weak native churches and then pastors on the Island of Maui, seeking to strengthen and build them He will at the same time, in VVai up. luku. do such pastoral work among the white population ot that section as may prove desirable. In general, his position will resemble that of Rev. John Lydgate, who is doing such excellent work on Kauai. His work will be under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. The Hon. H. I'. Baldwin will be a leading contributor to Mr. Lewis' support. A Venerable Resident Departed. Passed away at last from among us is the aged Grandmother Carter, whom we remember as a prominent member of Honolulu society more than sixty years ago. Coming here in company with Messrs Ladd and Brinsmade and their families, she soon became married to Captain Carter, an active and enterprising trader in the Pacific ports. Mrs. Carter's children long ago reached mature years, and all but two have gone before her, Mr. Jos. O. Carter and Mrs. Robert Lewers. Her numerous grandchildren also are nearly all ofadult years. A lady of great activity and cheerfulness, her closing years have been spent in much infirmity of body. She was one of the tew surviving witnesses of those early days when the royal chiefs and the missionaries were the ruling influences in Hawaii, and Honolulu was a dusty, squalid, treeless town of thatched huts. �Februay, 1898.

The physical constitution of the Corona, and its movements, form the chief object of the inquiry. Government Land Sales. During the past two years, over S'.'bO,-000 have been realized for the Government by the Land Department. .0,23. acres have been sold to 422 purchastrs, of whom I'."J were native Hawaiians, receiving 3873 acres. Of Olaa leases about 10,000 acres have been taken up by seventy holders. Government Receipts and Expenditures. These are stated as follows; RECEIPTS.

Lahaina cane fields probably yield enough sweetness. �Vol. 56, No. 2.] THE FRIEND President Dole Goes to Washington. President Sanford B. Dole, President of the Republic of Hawaii took passage for San Francisco on the Peru, January (ith, on his way to Washington. He was accompanied by Major Curtis P. laukea as Secretary, and Dr. Day as Physician. Mrs. Dole accompanied her husband as far as California. He expects to return in a few weeks. In the mean time Minister Cooper is Acting President and will send the message to the Legis lature which is about to convene. 'The precise errand of our President in Washington has not been published. Of cours it refers to the annexation of Hawaii now under discussion in Congress. It is believed that Mr. Dole's presence there had become expedient in view of complications liable to arise in adjusting the proposed measure. He is expected to confer with the Hawaiian Legation and with the Administration. 'The departure of the ship being on Sunday, by request of the President, no salutes were tired by the warships in Probable New Pump For Honolulu. A plan is under consideration to open new Pumping Plant for the water supply of the city at Palama or Kalihi. There can be little doubt that with the growth of the city the Artesian Supply must become the chief dependence, just as it is on the Sugar Plantations. It seems absurd that the Government begrudge Honolulu people ample water at rates equal to $150 an acre, while the Kwa Plantation enjoys much more co pious irrigation at a cost of $•-'.'> an acre. This is not good business management. It is really a foolish clinging to the traditional method of depending upon the very limited and unreliable valley sup ply, which should be used only for irri gation of high levels above 200 feet. Ten years hence when Honolulu has perhaps 50,000 people, the present waterworks management will be matter of derision. a Haiku Sugar Co. has placed wells and a pumping plant in Maliko gulch, and is now delivering water on the The Building Trades Council of San upland to irrigate 400 acres of cane, thus Francisco publicly supports the annexbetween two and three thousand adding ation of Hawaii, and denounces the tons a year to the output. of the Sugar Trust which have ced certain Labor organizations to Flowing Well on Kauai. oppose it.

Rns This only brother of the German l.mperor, now commanding the German squadron in Chinese waters, visited Honolulu when a youth, many years ago. The writer twice encountered his cortege on the roads and scrutinized with deep interest the comely features of this fair haired grandson of Victoria. Of some interest also was the noble bearing of the young Prince's Governor. It detracts from the favorable impression then received to read the absurd flattery of the Prince's parting address to his Imperial brother at Kiel, words fit only for Chinese or Siamese king-worshippers. New Plantation at Waialua. Gasper Sylva has sold to H. Water house for $150,000 his Mokuleia property of over 4000 acres. The rental of rice lands on the estate is over $10,000. There is besides a large area of low fertile slope available for sugar cane, which can be irrigated by steam pumps from Artesian wells. The Waialua extension of the railway runs through the tract. This will be the fourth large plantation growing out of the railway enterprise of B. F. Dillingham. 13 RECORD OF EVENTS. Jan.

I hope to finish the job next week and be able to go about in it visiting the people who are too far distant from the station premises. The island needs teachers There are only two of them here. The one stationed here in town, is not a very bright one, but still he does all he can to keep the people together, but his influence over them is slight. The children, it is said, are kept away from school on account ol lack ot money to purchase books, but this seems to be only a false story, tor I have witnessed the prompt sale of hymn books. Therefore lam urging them to purchase books and send their children to school. There is another teacher at the northern end of the island, and his report concerning the work in his district is not a favorable one. When Mr. Walkup comes I will try to do all I can to have another teacher stationed here, for it is too bad to have only one t.acher here upon whom we can depend, and especially since rhere is no mimstei here to lead and to assist the catechist. The island is too much foi one person to take care of. lam now assisting the catechist in his school-teaching, by keep ing a Bible class among the older scholars who do not wish to leave school yet, till they are prepared to go to the training school at Kusaie. Hut this the catechist is not able to do SS he hiinselt told me. So I have to take that part of their training upon myself while I am heie. Three times a wtek I keep a singing class here among the school children, in addition to the song and prayer service we have every morning and evening. The king is taking a good step in the right direction, but he needs a great deal of help; and that's- a thing we are all attending to just at present. May our prayers for him be answered. I have not heard from Tarawa yet. I am not yet quite sure about getting there, for I have plenty to do during the time of my short stay here. We expect the steamer from Sydney every day. She is oveidue. I heard that the Longana left Tarawa yesterday, Sept. 1-ith, coming from Sydney, and going to Butaritari. 1 have the Butaritari mail here with me, and I am waiting for an opportunity to forward it. Thursday, Sept. 15th. I am getting ready for a citcuit as far as Taboneaba, the southern end of the island. I have the boat fixed and ready for the trip. I am healthy and strong, thanks to the Master. Hoping that you are the same, I remain, Your friend and brother, Louis M. MITCHELL. Station, Abaian, Gilbert Is. Teonobara Februay, 1898. THE FRIEND Proposed Sewer System. Sisal Plantation. From the eminent Sanitary engineer Rudolph Hering who studied Honolulu a year ago, full detail plans have been received for a complete sewer system for a city here of 50,ti00. The estimated cost when completed will be nearly $5(10,000. The sewerage will be deliver ed with the aid of pumps into deep water outside the reef. Itt strikes us that it would be better to lay the discharge pipe four miles along the reef to the Puuloa tract, and convert those thousands of barren acres into a highly fertilized garden. It seems a very modest prediction that Honolulu will pass the 50,000 point within a dozen years. Things are going to jump in this "Hub of the Pacific." A company has been incorporated with capital of $25,000 to plant sisal for fibre upon the coral flats of Waimanalo, west of Kwa Plantation. It is claimed that the plant will flourish upon the coral without irrigation. Cecil Brown is president of the company; the manager is Mr. Alfred Turner, lately of the Ostrich farm on Kauai, the location of which proved unsuitable. Sisal fibre is not unlikely to prove an important addition to the products of Hawaii, where arid land abounds. Nuuanu Pali Road Opened. The new road down the Pali was opened for general wheel traffic about the middle ol last month. Great credit is awarded to the contractors Messrs. Wilson & Whitehouse for their excellent work. The road is over two miles in length and 18 feet wide, cut into the side of the steep precipice, with a grade of eight feet in one hundred. The outer side is guarded by a heavy wooden railing. The descent of the pali is about 900 feet, leaving .'5OO feet descent for the remaining three miles to the sea. There is sure to be a heavy traffic over the road. The easy access from the city to the beautiful and verdant lands of Koolau will create great advance in values in that district, and many of our citizens will secure country seats there. A stage route is likely soon to be opened over the pali forty miles to Kahuku. The old road with its 15 per cent, grade was opened in 181a by the king and Dr. Judd. It was solidly built and a wonderful work for those days of poverty. It was a great discredit to the later monarchy that the carriage road The was not built fifteen years ago. Republic brought in road building and general activity in public improvements. SemiK -wklStytoage ahuku. Henry Bryant advertises to carry passengers and parcels via Pali to Kahuku and way points, every Tuesday and Thursday. White's stages run the rest of the route. This gives opportunity to go round the Island, and observe a series of wonderful pieces of scenery. This is one of the first fruits of the new Pali road. Serymser's Pacific Cable Co. is urging Congress for a contract to transmit all Senator Morgan has been doing official messages from San Francisco to vigorous work for Annexation in the U. Hawaii, China and Japan for twenty years, for $175,000 a year. S. Senate. Remarkable Race to San Francisco. Five vessels sailed from Honolulu, and one from Kahului, on the morning of December 31st, within four hours of each other. They were the \V. G. Irwin, W. H. Dimond, Albert, Archer, Transit, and Lurline. All arrived at San Francisco within three of each other on the evening of the 17th. The six ships were almost constantly in sight of each other through out the passage. The victory lay between the Irwin and the Lurline. Such uniformity of sailing together over a course of 2100 miles is believed to be unprecedented. Track-laying has begun on the Waialua extension of the Oahu Railway. Manager Dillingham expects to run through trains to Waialua by the middle of April. Mnch grand scenery hitherto unfamiliar, will be made accessible to the public. Kaena Point is a remarkable spot. The new section is about 25 miles in length. Great Molokai Ranch For Sale. The great ranch of the Bishop estate, comprising the western halfof the island of Molokai is to be sold at auction on the 2nd inst. It is well stocked with cattle and horses. It will probably be bought by parties intending to occupy the lower slopes near Kaunakakai with a sugar plantation, to be irrigated from artesian wells by steam pumps. Storms and Disasters. January has been a stormy month. A large proportion of the landings at the sugar plantations have been difficult of access, and the shipments of sugar have been greatly delayed. A sad disaster occurred at Papaikou in Hilo, where the esteemed Freight Clerk of the steamer Kinau lost his life in embarking for the ship. The fine steamer Kaaia leaving Laic with a full cargo of sugar was caught on the bar by heavy "blind rollers" and wrecked, with total loss. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Woods. using Dr. Pease, late ol Marshall Island Mission, writes tti Dr. Hyde, under date of Dec. 10, that he pui poses to be at Honolulu on the arrival of the Morning Star, and remain here until she returns westward. His object is to work with a native teacher who is to come from the Marshall [stands, in revisinga translation of portions of the Old Testament which Dr. Fease has been preparing. "I hear that the Hoard have two new teachers under appointment for the Girls' School in Kusaie. They are sisters, and will relieve Miss Hoppin when Miss Palmer comes home. * Mi. Ch.union is studying medicine as 1 understand. He will make a good doctor." Miss Crosby is at Clifton Springs, and or. the whole improving. She hatl heen extremely ill, and underwent a severe operation in October at Rochester. Mrs. Fease will remain at Claremont, Cal, with her huge family while hci husband visits the Islands. "I am hoping to find money to get our Marshall Island New Testament electrotyped. The Fible Society declare their inability to issue another edition of the book, and all new out are exhausted. It is a new complication not to be able to get Testaments for our people." Dr. Fease adheres to the old view that (he motive of missions is not "to build up a Christian civilization in Pagan lands," but to save men. Only when Pagans are saved from sin and Satan, will they become civilized. Until saved by Christ, they do n, t caie for the light. aStTClvemhoiprnsaItl ndia. It is absiud to say that Christianity is good for the West, but lirahinanism is the faith for India. It is said no Euro pean can become a Hindu. There is no place for such an accession in the lirah man system. Hut Hindus can and do become Christians. And the gospel works in the Eastern heait as it does in the Western. 1 believe Christianity could rid India of plague and famine. Scarce a native Christian died of plague. Heathen ism, with its ignorance and rigidity, is largtly responsible for the fatality of Indian famines. Christian intelligence and freedom would, I believe, carry even the millions safely through a year of drought. What becomes of the children of Hindus of the lowest castes when they are converted and become open to Christian influences? They rise from the level in which they are born, and appear all over India as the competitots of the most favored classes in all commercial and professional lines. | [January, KRIKNI).

I have been trying to imagine St. Paul •changing his views"—coming out of lis fellowship with Jesus Christ and :ommunion with the Holy Spirit into the light of science antl modern philosophy, nd, after much prayerful thought, ac- cepting most of the conclusions and lypotheses of modern thought that go floating about or, the unstable wave of 'the higher criticism." Imagine St. Paul saying; "Whereas, I formerly preached Christ and him crucified, 1 now give up the supernatural work antl character of Jesus and the mysteries of the world to come. Although I once believed in the doctrine of'substitution,' i.e., that Jesus Christ was the Lamb of (iod, foreshadowed by the Passover lamb, and that he 'was sacrificed for our sins, that we might have redemption through his blood,' I no longer believe that I am saved by 'grace' through faith in him, but rather by works of righteousness and by love to man. Therefore I shall e.uleavor, by a positive religious philosophy, to raise mankind from a lower to a higher plane of life, according to the words of Christ when he said, 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one for another.' But, whereas I once preached Christ as the chief Corner Stnne, and that in him dwelt all the fullness ol the Godhead, I shall exhort that they all become sons of (iod, standing fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made them free." In conclusion, imagine St. Paul saying: "I have been assured, moreover, by many other disciples of Christ, that they no longer build their faith upon the foundations of the apostles and prophets in the old way. Now be it known that I, Paul, who am no mean citizen, do hereby admit that I was probably mistaken about having a vision of the Lord on theway to Damascus, and being filled with the Holy Ghost; and, therefore, I shall no longer call myself a servant of Christ, nor preach any more that his gospel came with power and by the Holy Spirit (though without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness), yet in future I shall simply preach the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Greet the Saints in Boston. 1 salute all them that have the rule over you."

'The Hawaiian Delegate, Dr. Alvarez, has made an excellent report, of which we have given a brief summary. Miss Mary E. Green. Miss Green is the veteran and greatly honored local missionary of the W. C« T. U. and Woman's Board, whose woik is chiefly among the native llawaiians. She lately returned from a five months visit to the United States. As delegate from the W. C. T. U. of Hawaii, she attended the World's Convention of that Association at Toronto. Miss Green made her report to the VV. C. T. U. Dec. '21st. She was much impressed by the force and magnetism of Miss Frances Willard, the great leadtr of the W. C. T. U. It was evident that the cause of 'Temperance was making progress. A serious difference had arisen between Miss Willard and the Fnglish leader in the cause, Lady Frances Somerset, upon a question outside of the special work of Temperance. Dedication of Bishop Memorial Chapel. On Sunday, December 19th, was dedicated the new Memorial Chapel just finished on the grounds of the Kamehameha Schools. The scholars and teachers over 400 in number filled the body of the building. Invited guests sat in the transept, with officials on the platform. The Chapel is described as "a gem of architectural beauty." Although small, it cost $60,000, in accordance with Mr. C. K. Bishop's desire. It was erected out of a fund of 1800,000 placed by Mr. Bishop in ■ 595, in the hands of Trustees. Rev. Dr. Hyde made an address, stating the facts, after which Hon. S. M. Damon, acting for Mr. Bishop with an appropriate address delivered the keys to Mr. J. O. Carter, representing the B. P. Bishop 'Trustees. The sermon was preached by Key H. H. Parker, upon "building the house upon the rock," urging upon the Hawaiian young men and maidens the need of the Christian life, to save their land and their civilization, building character upon Christ. The Prayer of Dedication was offered by Dr. Hyde. We acknowledge the receipt from the of a Souvenir Calendar, which is both a useful and very tasteful article of its kind.

Mrs. Helen Blackmar Maxwell, now the wife of Captain Barker of the U. S. Battleship Oregon, and the authoress of the Bishop's Conversion, and of Three Old Maids in Hawaii, has published a new story of life in India, her missionary home for many years. No missionary figures in the story, however. It forms a series of sketches of English life in India, with especial reference to the social disadvantages of cultivated Eurasians or pait whites, and how they can be overcome. The story is animated and entertaining, as well as morally and socially instructive. It is wholly kindly and appreciative of English social excellencies. A good vein of humor, with little satire, runs through the book. 'The Eurasian heroine emerges happily from her long ordeal. [January, 1898.

Begotten at man's best it reaches I hebest there is in him. It issosublh and pervasive that every one feels it. All avenues of mind and heart lie open to it, thought, fancy, feeling, wit, humor, the ethical and the religious side of our nature give it easy access. It is literature that can go every where and take no rebuff. It carries no obtru sive personality. The writer of true literature belongs lo no sect or party, he wears no label. .Nothing that is human is alien to him. lie is not pieachy, bis ait forbids it, Though lie avoids a religious tone or attitude, though his aim is not distinctly ethical, )et he mil) make irresistible appeal to conscience. The first preachers of righteousness in Rome were the Satiiists; the) used tlieii high art to make evil appear as such. Among us perhaps no men of the last generation have been more universally recognized as using their remarkable gifts for worthy moral ends than Thack Cray and Dickens. Today none speak moie truly to the heart of the people than lan Maclaren and Kiidyard Kipling, and how many there are, ol various stature, walking the paths of literature and more or less known to the woild as potts, essayists and story-tellers, who are recognized as veritable pr >phets ol righteousness. The) speak to oui hearts and consciences, though we know them only as John, the fore runner, was known to the repentant people of his days, as a voice calling them to better ways of life. The influence ol literature is especially potent among the young. They can be reached by books when other agencies fail. The Story ol brave adventure is to the in a necessity, out of it they get that mental stimulus snd entertainment they so greatly need. While leading the well told health)' tale, they gam the finest schooling. It is a lesson in the use of language, but. moie than this, it teaches collect morals: by it they are helped to be courageous, kind and true ; it gives them a better ideal than they themselves could construct, or find among their associates. Theie are those who rarely hear the voices of other preachers than those who make the good story, antl there are those who have never been stirred by any preaching, who, if they were but furnished with a literature matched to their need, might lie saved to a better dainty channels of literature. These channels reach upwards, like mountain streams, to where the soil is virginal, to where sweet, aromatic things grow, and the air stirs from out the bosom of the enfolding clouds. It is my feeling that there are many such cases in these islands, that perhaps no where else than right here among us, is there greater need of the support which comes of good literature in the struggle which is being made after virtue.

I It is perhaps true, that the most tar reaching influence now at work in society, life. 7 It must be s.iul that the coiiditii ns are peculiar. An entire people is being quickly broughi to the knowledge ol the English l.in-M,. ;;r. n language that is rich in the best Ii erature the world can give. It is., grai il opportunity to hi ing to bear upon the Hawaiians this transforming power of a noiili literature. The key to a new knowledge and a new morality has been placed in the hand nf the young Hawaiian antl we have hut to help him use it. Ii We ilo out dut'j a new light may shine in the Hawaiian home through the illuminating powei 'rf good literature. Lei this light shine and there shall he the 11 ginnings ola more esthetic lite- more beaut) ol household decoration—and morf knowledge of what bungs true health; sueeltr, purer songs nni)'be snug, and intuvii and poetry shall wield a happiei control-over a race peculiarly suscepttlili to such refining influencesThink how i.n awa\ iod a) such things are from the average Hawaiian home. Its dcsolateiicss can hardly be conceived by those, who, through their literature, have become the heirs ol the ages, who are rtail) tmichtd foi the better b) the finest thai lias been thought, said m done, and who are helped to dream the dreams of the artists, the poets, tin sages anil wise and good nun ol all times. VVhateVei of good the natives offurmer days received from the litei store that was given them by ibe missionary fathers, that literature is inadequate foi them now. Indeed, so Strong is then hold coining to he on the English language, that they are ceasing to read their motbei tongue: perhaps this is well, for its resources are not gieat, and they have sensed to multiply. The native bible and hymn book when they came, were a great boon to the llawaiians. The new thought which was introduced to the native mind by these classic books had its marvelous effect. Pthicall) and religiously the)' became a different pen pie but now. with the increase ol intel ligence, the time ftn the broader cuttuie has come, and it cannot be imparted through the medium of the Hawaiian language so well as through the English. The limited scriptural helps, the few printed sermons, the two or three nienious, a work on theology, a church history, a catechism, snd a translation ol Hun) an's Pilgrims Progress, form a library inadequate for the young Hawaiian of today. He needs more books on science and history, on social and political economy, and he needs more artistic, poetic and religious matter to be given him in his reading ; but primarily he need* the right kind of fiction. This he is ready for and will take sooner than anything else, and it may become a step to higher things. Fiction, such as it is. has been given him in abundant measure in the serial newspaper story, but it is unfitting. The uplifting power of the inspired story- : �THE FRIEND. 8 . teller has hardly been felt by him. He will read an interesting title, and perhaps get a sermon from it, when he will not listen to the professional preacher. He will hfok into a book that is placed in his way, when perhaps he will not go to church. He whom an unwel come personality cannot reach may be attracted by tile charmed pages of literature. There are influences at work among us debarring us from free access to many to whom we would be helpful, and in Mir efforts to raise the social standard and make men better, we find ourselves greatly hindered. We have been adopt ng new methods. The Kindergarten is one. We have wisely chosen to reach the child-life and are doing it good work upon it. There still remains the adult life for us to touch yet more effectively than we have. Is there not some new channel of influence through which we may work ? We believe good literature furnishes it. We have hail politics in full measure and that of a personal kind, we. have been antagonized and divided by it. ami the bad newspaper has made the most ol the situation, till lite has been embittered. It is time to change and to direct the minds of the people to new interests. There are the wholesome and sweet paths ot literature, they are always It inviting and full of refreshment. were well if our young men and women could become more familiar with them, and so forget the troublesome contentions of the day. We have tried to instruct them from the pulpit and the teacher's desk, but we have not asked our poets and story-tellers lo do thenpart. 'I'he witchery of the literary man needs to be felt among us as it has not in the past, and we shall be wise if we bring it to bear just now, with its happy, transforming force on our native youth. With their newly acquired knowledge of Kng lish, they stand at the very entrance ot a larger intellectual and spiritual life, and it is our privilege, by the use of good books, to bring them to it. For the Klondike. Immense preparations are making for the expected movement of miners to the gold fields of the Yukon Valley next spring. The numbers seem likely to be limited only by lack of money and of ships for transportation. Probably money will be supplied to a great many on the "grubstake" plan, the miner or prospector going at a partner's expense. Wild estimates have appeared of the numbers likely to reach the Yukon valley the coming summer, ranging even as high as 300,1)00. An official statement made at Washington names 100,-•00 as likely to go. It is difficult to see how even half that number could possibly find transportation during the five months available for the journey. A number of large steamers are under stood to be preparing for the purpose of carrying the people to St. Michael's at the mouth of the Yukon, a voyage of 3900 miles, or eight days. These are to cany in sections, light draft barges and engines to be pot together at St. Michael's, to continue the voyage up the Yukon river 3500 miles farther to Dawson City. Allow each steamer to can)- Hlhil passengers, with 1000 tons of their necessary supplies. To carry 100 thousand will then require 1011 trips, the round trip of the steamer taking four weeks. Kach ship will have time for five trips, thus requiring twenty large ocean steamers running constantly for five months to do the work. It seems unlikely that even half that number of first class ships could be obtained to put on the route. Then on the river, not less than 300 stern-wheelers would be necessary, mak ing monthly trips during the live months available. This is only to transport the men and their indispensable provisions for a year's consumption. Hut besides this, would lie necessary at least 100,000 tons of Coal, to keep them warm during the Arctic winter, and an equal weight of lumber for housing. All this would require twice the before named means of transportation. It is evident that moving and supplying an army of even 50,000 mtn to the remote and frozen Alaska would be beyond any except national resources as employed in war. It is hardly possible that even twenty thousand men can reach Alaska the coming summer. It is not improbable that by next May, word will come from Dawson of extreme suffering and starvation, such as to deter many intending emigrants. It may prove a repetition, upon a large scale, of the horrors experienced by Cueely's party m Greenland. Alaska to be Developed. One thing seems evident re peering Alaska. 'I'he vast Yukon valley is about to be occupied and subdued by the mighty armies of American and Christian civilization. Like the sudden and tremendous inpouring of those armies into California fifty years ago, now comes this great rush to the Yukon. The mining of gold is the inciting object in both cases. There appears to be reliable evidence that the supply of gold upon the Yukon is much more abundant than was that of the placers of California. On the other hand, it seems doubtful whether that Arctic land will afford any at all of those resources of agriculture which have rendered California so opu- |]anu.,ry. LB9B. lent. Possible some scant yield of grain and vegetables may be obtained while the sun for a few weeks thaws the surface of the perpetually fro/en subsoil. In any case, the immense mining fields of Alaska seem certain to secure for that territory a permanent occupation by a large population of active and enterprising Americans, who will carry with them the best elements for building a prosperous and powerful state in the valley of the Yukon and its numerous tributaries. The south-eastern extension of Alaska also will inevitably have its full share of immigration, and will enjoy immediate settlement, and the earl) development of its immense mining, lumbering, and fishery resources, as well as those of agriculture. In fact, a new Pacific State is immediately to be created in Southern Alaska. All this must have important inlluence upon Hawaii, and Hawaii is likely to exert upon Alaska important reciprocal influence, commercial social, moral, and spiritual. It is too early to anticipate the whjle nature of this interaction. It must be important. We now see additional reason for the wonderful Divine leading which early planted in Hawaii this strong and deeply rooted Christianity, which makes our group a bright beacon light of Christ's kingdom shining athwart the whole Pacific Coast. One more motive is given to stir every Christian heart to alertness for eveiy May call of our Master and King. Hawaii's light shine brightly, and contribute to illumine, guide anil comfort that great arm) of pioneers amid tile Arctic rigors. Beacon at Diamond Head.
