The daily press both editorially and in its news columns gave its deliberations generous space, a courtesy for which The Frund on behalf of the Association hereby expresses hearty thanks. The success which crowned the labors of Rev. J. M. Lydgate and the committees which arranged the anniversary merited such wide public recognition. Every affair of the kind to be successful demands a leader gifted with the power of organization. Lihue found such in Mr. Lydgate. Months ahead he began planning, choosing his committees with care and assigning to each its sphere. These committees were themselves composed of trained entertainers who gave such thorough attention to details that the keenest critical study of the arrangements for the comfort of delegates and the quick dispatch of the work in hand was rewarded with the discovery of not even the slightest rlaw. From beginning to end Llhue's part was perfectly performed. We remember never to have attended a like gathering with completer, less obtrusive or more smoothly moving machinery. No wonder this care for the temporalities made itself felt in the deliberations and effected a harmony anel good feeling which combined with the intellectual and spiritual tone of the meeting, elrew from Rev. O. H. Gulick the characterization—"the best the Association has ever held." May 15.

C. Davis laborers. T. R. do it easily. 7 of Hanalei, T. K. Amalu of Hookena, C. E. King of Maui and D. Kanuha of Kamehameha though on the program, were unable to be present. It was felt that this difficulty must be obviated another year by the choice of a time when teachers can attend. Two plans were proposed, one the selection of the week following Easter Sunday, which is vacation season, the other by postponing the meeting until the third week in June. The adherents of the latter plan prevailed. The only objection to this is its coming so near to the season of commencements when Honolulu is exhausted both by the heat and the strain of continued meetings. However, this date will be given a good trial next year and if it prove unwise a further change may be instituted. Business Achievements The things done by the Association may best be characterized by the phrase "getting into line with world-wiele Congregationalism." Dr. Walter Laiellaw in the federation shows that in the United States the Congregational polity stanels first in the number of its adherents with 7,535,580, the Episcopal second with 7,-268,518 anel the Presbyterian third with 4,063,577. Already the divided units of the latter are coming together in the union of the Northern and Cumberland Presbyterians. Those of the South will soon be added. The Congregationalists, Methodist Protestants and United Brethren are on the verge of union, and it is not too much to expect that the Baptists anel Disciples will in time yield to the demand for consolidation and then the nearly eight million Congregationalists will stanel as one. It is well that Hawaii is preparing for such an event by coming into close vital relations with its Congregational brothers. By electing a layman as Moderator for the first time in its history, by choosing a full list of delegates and alternates to the National Council, by nominating candidates for corporate membership in the American Board and by changing its constitution so as to represent all the churches of the Territory, the Evangelical Association put itself unequivocally in sympathy and into co-ooeration with the great body of Christians who for 80 years have stood hehind it. All these actions were taken with absolute unanimity and after kindly, il- �4 THE FRIEND spire others with high ideals and uncommon faithfulness in pastoral visitation ever deserved recognition by the confering of this honored title, then the Pride of the Berkshires has done well in recognizing the splendid service of the Pastor of Central Union Church of this city.

We shall look for good things from this family as the years roll on. Meanwhile with our aloha go prayers for ever increasing service in the Master's vineyard, greater fruitage and enlarging joy. Palama's Progress It is refreshing to hear how this mission uneler the leael of Rev. anel Mrs. A. C. Logan is addressing itself to its prob- lem with increasing adaptability to the demands of the field.

Then little by little various other features coulel be aelelcd, the co-operation of many with leisure secured, classes be formed and Talama enter upon a splendid career of wieler usefulness. We congratulate Palama upon this prospect and Central Union church upon so promising an enterprise. Kodama For Koloa For the present it is hoped that Rev. Mr. Kodama whose work has been so successful in Kakaako may be locateel at Koloa. No better man for the place can he found. He has hael wlele experience, is a master of English, wielels an enviable influence among his countrymen and will prove invaluable on a plantation. The only question is which is the more important field for a man of his wiele ability. The people of the Territory in general had an opportunity to gauge his calibre through his address at the Lihue meeting—the only utterance there which won editorial recognition at the hands of our leading daily. HOW THE TOPIC WAS HANDLED AT LIHUE The first day's discussion was devoted to the general theme "The Home —Its Chief Menace, Social Laxity." Rev. J. M. Lydgate opened the question, making among others the following points: "When a man is sick he does not seek to conceal his illness but goes at �5 THE FRIEND. once to the doctor. Now it is claimed by many that the Hawaiian home is in a bad way. Courtesy, gentle manners, kindly hospitality and the like, it is said, characterize it, but virtue it has lost. We Christians must meet these changes. If the Hawaiian home is diseased let us acknowledge it to ourselves and seek a remedy. That there is foundation for the accusation is apparent to anyone who investigates actual conditions. In one community I drove through the town in company with the pastor and asked him of each house 'Are the women of that home virtuous? ' At the end of the ride I found that 40 per cent, were known to be leading immoral lives. In another case a deacon in the church sold his own daughter to a Chinaman for base uses. Not a few Hawaiian parents send their young girls into the camps, knowing what will happen to them there, and all for the sake of the sweetmeats, food and other presents they will bring back. I could tell you of a young teacher married to a charming woman, who fell in love with a pupil and so cruelly neglected his wife that she died. He lost his position in consequence and married his paramour. Subsequently he was again appointed teacher and then repented his guilty conduct with a second pupil. When faced with discharge for this offense some of the church members urged me to secure his reinstatement because he was so useful to the church as a Sunday school leader. These are only a few instances out of many. We must meet these evils and manfully rid ourselves of them. They are a disgrace hut we can and we will uproot them and make our homes pure." Editor David Ai taking up the side of this subject which touched the Church applied Christ's remark, "a city set on a hill cannot be hid," to the Church and demanded for Hawaii that the Bride of the Lord be clean and free from every stain. Mr. M. K. Nakuina next made the following points: "Pastors today must be fearless in denouncing evils and in bringing the practical truths of Christian living home to the consciences of their congregations. They must still further be cross bearers, ready to suffer for plain dealing, hiding themselves as they hold up the pure life of the Redeemer. Oftentimes people are admitted to our churches too easily. Don't allow men and women of impure life to join the Church. The true pastor is a seed sower and must be content to scatter widely the seed of truth, leaving the results to God." Rev. O. P. Emerson carried the discussion out from the. Church into the community. "I well remember the deep impression made upon me in boyhood by hearing an old Hawaiian Christian woman picture the home life of her early days with all its dark features and testify to the ennobling uplifting power of Christ in rescuing her from the abyss of sin. She was talking to a group of her own people and as I overheard her words I became conscious of the awful possibilities of human nature under the curse of sin and of the wonderful redeeming power of the Savior. For I knew what a true, saintly life that woman was living. It is grandly possible for the Hawaiian home to be pure. I beseech you to address yourselves to this glorious work. Set your faces against sin. Refuse to sell yourselves for gold. Stand for purity in the home, in the Church, in the community, for God has great things in store for Hawaii." Rev. S. Kodama of Kakaako followed with one of the notable utterances of the anniversary. His address may be pharaphrascd in part as follows: "Many specifics arc offered today by social reformers. Among them that of the Nihilist and Revolutionary Socialist, proposing force. The method of Jesus is exactly opposite. Jesus sought to build up in this world a kingdom of righteousness and we His followers will win only as we adopt His plan. Thirteen of us Japanese are here in this Territory to help in this work, especially among our countrymen. Not a few obstacles render this task difficult. One is the attitude of some plantation employers whose treatment of our people is too often based upon the principle, 'As long as you do the work required of you we care not what becomes of you or how else you act.' No wonder the employees begin to think of themselves as things instead of men and care only for the money which enables them to drink and gamble as they please. Again the employers by aiding Buddhism lead our people to believe that they consider all religions on the same footing and that Christianity is like Buddhism, equally useless. In the days before this country was annexed the sale of liquor was restricted. But now the ease with which sake may be had tempts our countrymen to drink freely and leads them into gambling. Furthermore the police—the representatives of the government—are so often found to be in support of evil men who have money that it is hard to make headway. It is said that Tapanese sell their wives frequently in Hawaii. The truth is that when a wife goes off with another man, nine times out of ten she has been allured from her husband by gome crafty fellow with money who |s able so to enlist the police in their escape that the husband, even though he may secure the active aid of the Japanese evangelist, is powerless to save his wife. If plantation managers would come out actively in support of Christian work, refuse to aid Buddhists, give their influence against the sale of liquor and bring pressure to bear upon the police to do their duty, they would find the character of their workingmen improving and their relations with Japanese employees growing pleasanter. The conditions surrounding our countrymen would become more uplifting and we who are striving to bring in the Kingdom would meet larger success in our work." To try to render the picturesque eloquence of Revs. W. N. Lono or J. B. Hanaike into English is to attempt to gild the rainbow. Where others drew black and white sketches of actual conditions today, these two men portrayed the homes of a half century ago when the Hawaiians under the inspiration of the first great enthusiasm for Christ left heathenism behind and in simple daily service for the Master built up a home life gospel-like in its purity and beauty. During the addresses of these two speakers and when Rev. O. H. (iulick, whose 49 years of blessed union with his wife privileged him to uncover his own domestic shrine to sacred view, paid his touching tribute to his life partner, the evidences of deep emotion showed that the hearts of all had been reached and that God's Spirit was present doing His holy work. Rev. A. Y. Soarcs added as his contribution the suggestion that parents may live again in their children in whom their own virtues may be reproduced with augmented power if they be faithful to their trust. He drew a telling picture of the supreme joy of fatherhood and motherhood over children who attain to assured Christian char- acter. The second day of the convention took the delegates into the realm of the school. Points made by Messrs. Scudder and Archer may be epitomised as follows: "Home and School are reciprocal institutions. They influence one another constantly for good and evil. It is possible for every public schol teacher to renovate many of the homes in his community. If it be your privilege to serve in the sacred vocation of teacher recognize that your sphere includes the Home. Enter it hand in hand with the boy or girl. Win the friendship of father or mother. Take into the home your ideals, your culture, your wider learning and with these purjfy, elevate and enlarge itg life, �6 Thus you can serve your nation and the world most fully and Teave the impress of your character permanently in the entire community. Meanwhile you who are parents have in the public school an ally of far-reaching power in the training of your little ones. Look upon the public school teacher as your especial friend. Remember that you are entrusting your dearest possessions—your children —to him at the most impressible and important period of their lives. It is your business to know him intimately, to invite him to your home, to help him in his great work. The unmarried youth or maiden who takes a school in a country district in this Territory is exposed to most dangerous and insidious temptations. It is your business as Christians to shield these teachers, to help them in their fight for upright character and to surround them with influences that brighten, inspire and strengthen. If any teacher prove false to his trust, become a moral leper and begin to deprave and corrupt his pupils, it is your duty to protest and secure his removal. Bring your testimony to the Hawaiian Board and if after investigation it is clear that he is unfit we will help you. But if the teacher be faithful to his trust he needs your support. Give it to him freely. First of all by leading your children to love him. Second by standing by him when he disciplines your children and third by helping your children to learn their lessons. Fill your boys and girls with the ambition to do their best. The great need of the Hawaiian race is aspiration, a burning desire to make the most of themselves. Put this passion into your little ones in their schooldays and it will go with them through life." The topic of the Christian Boarding School was splendidly handled by Revs. T. Okumura and H. K. Poepoe. Mr. Okumura told of the lack of home life in Japan, "but" he added, "the Samurai of olden days supplied this lack in their own families, the training of the children in which was remarkable both for fullness and for the kind of men and women it produced. However owing to deficiency of home-life social relations were very lax. Here in Hawaii this condition is intensified. Feeling the need of home training for Japanese children the Honolulu Christian Boarding School for Japanese was opened in 1897. In this institution the children are taught first of all faith in Christ and love for Him—the essentials of Christian life. Soon after entering the school they began to pray. Little by little breathing the air of a Christian home they unconsciously become followers of Jesus. Two girls THE FRIEND came to us from Aiea. Some time later one died at home and a Buddhist funeral was held. On such occasions it is customary after the service to drink large quantities of sake. The surviving daughter remarked to her parents that this should not be done as it was unseemly in the presence of death. The whole family were moved and allowed the little child to lead them. Then the girl told them that perhaps her little sister had been suffered to die in order to lead them all to a knowledge of the true God. Her simple testimony worked wonders for that home. Instances of the kind could be multiplied. Our Christian school is continually sending its pupils home to reform the lives of parents and give them new ideals. Furthermore Japanese children born in this Territory will for the most part remain here permanently and grow up as citizens ol They inherit a the United States. double duty, to Japan and to the land of their adoption. To train them to discharge this duty in the spirit of Christ is one of the chief functions of our Christian Boarding Schools and this we try faithfully to perform." Rev. Mr. Poepoe whose distinction it is to have placed between 20 and 30 eirls in Kawaiahao, paid a beautiiiti tribute to the splendid work done by that and kindred institutions. Unable to secure interpretation we cannot give the details of his deductions made on the basis of intimate knowledge both of the management of this school and of the homes of its pupils. The addresses of Friday evening tfiven by Mrs. Nakuina, Miss McLeod nnd Mr. Merrill are printed in other columns.* Saturday was devoted to a picnic at Wailua, the occasion being a donation to the convention by Mrs. Hans Isenberg. It was a rare season of social ioy and was followed by a concert in the evening. Monday morning the Association took up the question of the religious life of the home. In many respects ■his was the culminating session of the whole week. Judsre Kahele. himself the notable product of a beautiful Christian home, opened the discussion detailing the effect of family devotions upon the life of the home and the after -areers of the children. FTis testimony buttressed upon his own hieh character rnrr'ed conviction and moved the deeply. Rev. Mr. Kaili then clinched tn» nails already driven. Next followed a remarkable scene when Mrs. W. H. Rice took up the consideration of "The Mother's Religious Duty to Her Children." It is idle to endeavor to reproduce an address in which English and Hawaiian alternated from sentence to sentence, impassioned with holy fire, flowing from a heart full of love for the people of Hawaii and an experience enriched by long years of intimate association with them. It suffices to say that Mrs. Rice's appeal stirred the consciences of those present as no one else had done. Some of the audience (gathered from a wide area) were so overcome as to be compelled to leave the house and after the meeting they were found by the speaker in tears, ready to confess faults and determined in future to stand for cleaner, holier living. At the request of the Association the "Garden Island" was given the honor of publishing Mrs. A. S. Wilcox's beautiful paper which followed Up and deepened the impressions made by Mrs. Rice. Next Mr. Theodore Richards in an address of great power pressed home to fathers their responsibility, convincing them of their duty to be priests in their own homes, to live out the Christ-life before their children, to hold their boys to truth and righteousness by personal comradeship with them in pastimes and studies, never to let go of their sympathies but to be their true hero. With this as a fitting climax the program came to a close leaving in the minds of all present definite memories which long will influence life and conD. S. duct. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. A. M. Merrill It has been said that the institutions of each epoch of history, whatever their functions, have had a decided family likeness. This is especially true of the relationship between the successive systems of education and the successive social states with which they have co-existed. In the age of political despotism, academic discipline was equally harsh and autocratic. When the authority of kings was absolute and the justice of their edicts unquestionable, the teaching of children could scarcely be anything but dogmatic; and when creeds and their interpretations were received from an infallible authority, it was necessary that students should be taught to believe and ask no questions. But with the increase of political liberty, with greater freedom of action and thought, and s :, *F' -"» to receive in lime the arldre" "f with infinite additions to the general Vfr« N"k'iina necessitates nnstponemcnt of its stock of knowledge, the old grammarpublication until our next issue.

There are 1,585 Chinese children in the schools of the Territory, and perhaps as many more that ought to be in school. It is important that these children should receive a proper Christian education, not only because they will some day be American citizens, but because of the vast amount of good they can do in the cause of Christ in China. Chinese missionaries educated here have an infinite advantage over both the native missionaries in China and the foreigners, for they already have the language which the foreigner must acquire, and they are free from many of the inborn superstitions that still cling to the native missionary educated at home. The principal institution provided for the Christian education of the Chinese of the, Territory is Mills Institute, located in Honolulu. This school was started twelve years ago by Mr. Frank W. Damon, who has done more for the education of the Chinese than any other man in the Territory. The school was started as a Christian School Home for Chinese boys who wished to go to the city for the purpose of attending the government schools. The demands for entrance were so great that two dormitories were soon built and teachers provided to instruct the boys who immediately filled them. Since then over three hundred boys and young men have been connected with the boarding department, and many others have attended the classes as day students. Many of these are now filling responsible positions throughout the Territory, many are prominent in church affairs and some are actively engaged in evangelistic work. Kind friends have contributed to the support of the school and thus made it possible to continue it from year to year, but the, growth of the work has been greatly hindered by lack of space.. At the present time an effort is being made to procure a larger tract of land near the city of Honolulu where permanent buildings may be put up and the school be given a chance to expand as the needs require. This work certainly deserves to be perpetuated, for from a business standpoint, there is no field for philathropic investment that will net greater results for all capital and labor invested than Christian education for the Chinese. With a well equipped institution of this kind the Christians of Hawaii can exert an inestimable influence upon the four hundred million of Chinese in the home-land, and the Territory can make herself truly blessed among nations. �8 THE FRIEND A NOTE OF VICTORY. By Katheryn C. McLeod. Several of those who have spoken before me on this subject of Christian Education in Hawaii, have sounded a faintly hopeful note. I welcome the sound, however faint, for too little of that music cheers the hearts of the toilers in this field. On the contrary, the newcomer is not long in the work before becoming conscious of a chorus behind the scenes chanting a subdued but persistent "Miserere," and the too susceptible hearer must employ a strong auto-suggestion if he would be withheld from obediently organizing a funeral march. To descend from the realm of metaphor, the plain fact is that discouragement surrounds the worker on every side, and the substance of the discouragement is about this. It is said that much of what has been done for the Hawaiian has counted for naught; that despite his Christian teaching he still believes more or less in the old gods and the old ways of life, lacking moral character and social purity; that education has not yet taught him to reason for himself, or manual training developed habits of thrift, industry, or prudent thought for the morrow. It is also said that the hoys and girls who are educated in the schools are spoiled for their homes—that they feel themselves too clever to work, and superior to their parents, and, in general, fall into a last state which is worse than the first. It is not for the comparatively newcomer to dispute all of this. In many cases it is undoubtedly true, but it happens to be those cases which attract notice, and by them the casual observer judges the whole work, while the great mass of unobtrusive well-doing goes tinhonored and unsung. Depend upon it, the Lord seeth not as man sceth, in this respect. There are undoubtedly more than the discouraged Elijahs dream of, who have not yet bowed the knee to Bael, and remain the salt of their land and people. To the mental vision which takes always the bird's-eye view, in which details assume their true relation to the whole, these discouraging features appear only as bits of flotsam and jetson on the great stream of Giristian education, or as impeding rocks, which may mar the beauty of the stream, or deflect its course for a time, but cannot really check its onward progress. Admitting their existence, then, I still question whether such conditions constitute sufficient ground for discouragement, and still feel irresistibly impelled to view the situation with the charity which "hopeth all things." Christian education here in Hawaii has projKised and attempted to build a new istics, so should we.

Founded forty people of noble Christian character, its aim was then, is now, and ever should be, Christian training for girls—a training of head and heart and hands, to fit them to establish model Christian homes, or to support themselves by honest means. That school should be to island girls of any nationality what Mount Holyoke College is and has been to the young women of New England—a school whose graduates shall bear its hall mark as distinct as if its name were written in their foreheads, and that hall markshould be Christian character. To accomplish any of its aims successfully, the school should maintain a high standard as to the character of its teaching staff, should have a healthy location, and a building characterized by extreme simplicity, whose only contrast with their homes would be in its cleanliness, neatness and good taste. And for all these things it requires money. I should stake my faith unhesitatingly upon all of the best element of the Christian people patronizing such a school, could it once be established and maintained in a manner which should inspire their confidence, both by what it would be in itself, and by its fruits. But at present the school possesses none of these requirements except the first-mentioned, and how long first-class teachers can.be retained in unhealthy surroundings and a dilapidated building, making bricks without straw, is a question whose obvious answer is not cheering. A start has been made, however, toward raising the means for better conditions. Eighteen hundred dollars in extra funds have been promised, and it is confidently expected the amount will reach twenty-four hundred. If the start which this will give us can be maintained, and if donations will in future flow to it as freely as in its earlier days, or if it can "Say not, 'the struggle naught availeth only get money enough to launch out and The labor and the wounds are vain, make some money for itself, better days The enemy faints not nor faileth may dawn in which it will draw nearer to And as things have been they remain.' the fulfillment of its founder's ideal. cation is but an upward and onward movement of a people, and in what race or land has such been set in motion withIt is out the same immediate result? only obedience to the great natural law that re-action must equal action. Bible students know that the rebound of the Jews from idolatry landed them in the opposite extreme of abject slavery to the commandments and traditions which they fondly imagined were the religion of their fathers. The reaction from the laxity and vice of cavalier England was Puritanism, and the re-action from Puritanism was the great wave of infidelity which swept over New England about a century ago. Only in these days, so many years after those stern-faced Puritans left England, has the pendulum of Anglo-Saxon religion settled into a happy medium. Wherever education is a new thing, for individual or nation, its first shallow draughts intoxicated the brain. This has been the case with negro education in the southern states, but better days are dawning there. The children of those whose heads were turned by a little learning, take soberly now what falls to their lot, and go out from school to be lights in their communities. I have no doubt that could statistics be secured of all the graduates of schools in these islands, the majority would be found doing good and not evil. The evil that they do gets noised abroad, while the works of the good seem not only to follow them, but to remain with them in their graves. Let us give to our Hawaiian brother, then, honor where honor is due, and all honor is his, for considering his handicaps, his achievements are phenomenal. If he gets ahead in the next thousand years as he has in the four score past, the Anglo-Saxon may not even be here to look to his laurels. years ago by For while the tired waves, vainly break- SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF Seem here no painful inch to gain, HAWAII Far back, through creek and inlet making, By S.

We now have to note as sixth in order, a most singular event, which made to disappear suddenly the last formidable element of opposition to the teachings of the Missionaries. This was the strange blotting out of Governor Boki from the scene. Boki was a princely chief of exceptional ability and great force, whose wife, Liliha, was also a princess of strong nature and much fascination. This noble pair had been the chief companions chosen by King Lilioliho in his visit to the English Court in 1824. After the sudden death of Lilioliho, and their return home in 1825, their superior intelligence and social experience abroad had secured for Boki after the death of his great brother Kalanimoku the highest position in the Government under the Regent Kaahumanu. He became the Governor of the Capital town, Honolulu, with command of the military forces. He was also appointed the Kahu or special guardian of the young King Kauikeaouli, still a tender lad. Occupying these high positions, Boki's authority and influence were great, and his moral and political attitude grew to the most serious importance. This personal attitude of Boki rapidly developed into a decided opposition to the influence of the missionaries, and of their ardent friend the Regent Kaahumanu. By 1828, he had become openly allied to the two chief elements of antagonism to the Regent and the missionaries. The leading one of these elements was the combination of lewd and intemperate whites, headed by the British and American Consuls, in order to break down the new laws against prostitution and drunkenness. The other and allied element of political opposition was that of Catholicism, of which Boki and Liliha made themselves the patrons, in opposition to Kaahumanu. Two Roman Catholic priests, Messrs. Bachelot and Short, had landed at Honolulu in 1827. They were very pious and devoted men, but naturally followed the practice of their church in its deadly and destructive opposition to Protestants. This determined their active political alliance to the anti-missionary party. Quoting Alexander's succinct account "Meanwhile Governor Boki continued his course of extravagance, intemperance and disloyalty. He set up a tavern on the harbor front, the 'Blonde Hotel,' and leased for a distillery a building which Kalanimoku had built for a sugarhouse. To supply sugar-cane for this distillery he leased land in Manoa Valley, but Kaahumanu cancelled the lease, and had potatoes planted instead of cane, �10 THE FRIEND "Instigated by the two foreign consuls, he plotted todestroyKaahumanuand supplant her as regent. In pursuance of this design, he sounded nearly every high chief in the country without success, and labored in vain to shake the young king's attachment to the Queen Regent. About the beginning of 1829, he collected armed men at Waikiki, and civil war seemed imminent, when Kekuanaoa, his fellowvoyager to England, boldly went alone to his camp, and dissuaded him from his mad designs." A very evil additional work of Boki was his misuse of his official influence over the young King to initiate him into the Governor's own intemperate indulgences, the beginning of habits which became the chief curse of Kauikeaouli's life. Meantime the Governor became deeply involved in debt. And in November, 1529, the visit of the U. S. warship "Vincemies," which strongly supported the laws of Kaahumanu, and the influence of the missionaries, added to Boki's d'scouragement. Just about this juncture, Boki made a great and rash move. The great source of money in Hawaii, sandalwood, had become nearly exterminated. Hearing of an island in the South Pacific which abounded in the precious wood, Boki hastily manned the king's brig "Kamehameha," and the "Becket," the one with 300, the other with 179 men, including nearly the whole company of opposers which he had collected. On December 2d, 1829, they sailed, "touching at the island of Rotuma, where Boki remained four days, and took on lxiard a large number of natives to assist in cutting sandal-wood. The 'Becket' lay there ten days longer, and then followed on her way to their destination, which was Eromango, in the New Hebrides. "Nothing more was ever seen or heard of Boki's vessel, the 'Kamehameha,' and her fate is still a mystery." The "Becket" lost most of her people by disease and hostile savages, and reached Honolulu after eight months' absence, with only twenty survivors. Thus suddenly and mysteriously perished the most dangerous opponent of the Gospel in Hawaii. Liliha continued the opposition of her lost husband. She became the sole chiefish patron of the Catholics during the succeeding years, but her influence upon the nation was nugatory.

LATEST TIDINGS FROM PLEASANT ISLAND. On the 21 st of June, Mr. Gulick received three letters from Mr. Delaporte; and a fourth, the latest, was from Mrs. Delaporte to Mrs. Gulick, of date May 6th.' An unusually long interval has occurred since last we heard from them under date of Dec. 20, 1903. The supplies shipped to them by the S. S.

I have built another small boat lately out of some lumber I had on hand, with the aid of my boys, whom I desired should learn the useful boatbuilder's trade. The two boats are now ready on the beach, and the crews are watching for smoke on the horizon. "Matters are now quite peaceful on Nauru. Next Sabbath we will be able, thank (rod, to baptise 14 more candidates. "We have no school just now, as the Governor is building a road around the island on which young and old are working. It soon will be finished and we shall have at last a good road; a great help in our work. Our bicycle expenses will thus be considerably reduced. "We have now two Nauru teachers stationed, paying them each 150 marks, besides the Marshall teacher who receives 200 marks. "I expect supplies for my Catechism and other books with the steamer, and shall print them at once. "We have very little rain at present, the wet season which we thought would set in in December has failed us this year. But the missionary work is once more in a fine condition." Under date of April 6th, Mr. Delaporte writes: "Many months have gone by since we last heard from you, I suppose because our steamer has failed us. This is very unfortunate indeed. Most of the whites on our island have had little or no foreign food to eat since February. However, on April 2nd, relief came in the form of the trading schooner 'Triton,' belonging to the Jaluit Gesellschaft. 'We had figured quite closely at what time at the latest we would need our fresh provisions. Had the steamer from Sydney arrived on schedule time (Feb. 8), all would have been well, as we had enough of staple goods left to pull us through until then, but when the vessel did not make its appearance on that date, things began to look very interesting. On March Ist we had absolutely nothing left in our store-room except some milk and a few canned vegetables. Flour, sugar, rice, coffee, meats, soap, in fact everything had given out and Mrs. Delaat * "When the schooner was sighted we did not know what to do, being aware that our year's supplies were laying somewhere. When we found out through the officer of the schooner that no vessel could be expected from Sydney until the latter part of July we felt free to buy sufficient food to last for three or four months, knowing that our Honolulu friends did not want us to starve. We trust that this unexpected outlay (of $153.03) will not be a total loss, as naturally our provisions will last so much longer after we get them, unless they arrive in a damaged condition. So please pay this amount, and let us hope that for many months to come nothing will be required except the payment of the freight bill on the supplies sent by the Isleworth from Sydney to Nauru, wdiicb bill I will send you after we receive our goods. "Next Sabbath we will D. V., admit 13 persons, to the communion. I am sorry that my book materials do not come until July." Under date of May 4, i.lr. Delaporte writes: "Church and schools are flourishing. The people are as faithful as ever in attending services, and many endeavor to follow the Savior all the way. Quite a number of marriage ceremonies have been solemnized since writing last and we trust that these young couples will ever remember their vows. "Our congregations donot look as clean and tidy as they might do, but there is absolutely no soap on the Island, not only among the natives, but also among the whites. The scarcity is due to the wreck of the 'Oceana.' "Nauru is suffering from a continued drought just now; we have had but two or three inches of rain since December. Many trees (cocoanut trees?) have died already and matters look distressing indeed. We have but 50 or 60 gallons of drink-water left. According to the oldest inhabitants no rain need be expected until the end of the year. Of course there are now poor prospects of being able to take up a contributon next July. What a boon it would now be to have a large tank full of rain water. The natives have very little to eat besides fish. The water in the wells (water holes) is hardly fit to drink, being nearly salt. We have a man engaged to do nothing else but carry water for us from a well nearly a mile * * * *' "Mrs. Delaporte feels quite well again, and the children are well also. "We have not received any mail from you since October when Mr. Walkup passed by. We expect quite a budget of letters by the next steamer. "Please remember us to all who inquire about our work." Mrs. Delaporte to Mrs. Gulick writes, May 6th, 1904: "The children are asleep yet, and it is quite cool this early morning, but before another hour we will have more than 100 degrees heat on our verandas.

Of its merits it were not enough to that "it was the first of its kind." As to the character of the singing in the Congress of Songs much kindly comment has been made. To be sure some criticism of the rather ambitious nature of some of the selections has been heard. At any rate it were better to err in that direction than in the other—for music's sake. Certain it was that the "big effect of the singing of 300 voices at one time was lost by reason of the lack of acoustic properties of the stage. Most of the volume was dissipated in the "flies." The truth of this could be easily seen when say Normal School chorus with that of all the choruses; the additional numbers added little. Of course in the case of the lesser number, they were well forward on the stage. Another year, means may be found to get the benefit of the numbers by better acoustic provision. The Children's Contest and Carnival deserves much more mention than has been made of it. The only feature of it that was conspicuously poor was the attendance of the people. So it is but a small part of Honolulu's population who know experimentally how well the children of the public school sing under the instruction of Mrs. Tucker. Kaabumanu school, to be sure, won the prize on a division of the points, but it had been a nice thing for any individual to have picked out the best work with any confidence. As these choruses come from the rank and file of the school it is safe to infer good singing right through. That is not all: there is insured to the future an intelligent music-loving community. Ten years from now music festivals will be attended as well as the Orpheum prize Whether the comfights are now. munity will profit therein, let any From a spectacular point one judge. of view the day at the Boys' Field might well be called "lovely" without doing violence to English. Rice & Perkins have some beautiful photographs which would pay inspection. The stand turned out to be all that was expected of it in comfort to the singers, and there was no difficulty in hearing any one of the choruses at the farthest distance any seat was placed. FINANCIALLY. It was hoped that there would be a large net return from the two events. As it turned out the Congress at the Opera House was much more successful by the dollar standard than the Boys' Field Contest, though the expenses in the first were far heavier. The Congress netted $242.20. while the Contest and Carnival netted $115.74. Of the total $35803 it was found necessary to put in permanent improvements to the amount of $220.50. So the debt on the stand to the amount of nearly $1,000 has not been materially reduced. The managers are proposing to move ahead persistently until this debt is removed. I'KOSPF.CTS MUSICALLY. Of the effects too little has been noticed of the tremenduous stimulus to good music at the fountain head of society— the schools. Another year the singing will be much better, which is saying considerable. It is safe to say that nowhere will greater attractions be offered in the wav of children's singing than in Honolulu. Nor is this all. General chorus one compared the fine volume of the work must improve apace, With the schools at a piesent foundation, oratorio work can be begun soon. It is proposed that the Second Musical Festival be much more representative. We can have instrumental music next year. What is more alluring, we can easily have soloists from abroad, either instrumental or vocal. A system of popular subscription will secure this and a body of representative musicians and music lovers may be called together to consider plans this winter. In the first place, what is the time best suited for a festival ? Because other communities prefer May, may not serve as an argument here. The "burden of proof" rest with the challenger to May's claim notwithstanding. The press will be open no doubt to a discussion of this question. HAWAIIAN MISSION CHILDREN'S SOCIETY.

Andrews, who left the Islands soon after his mother's death, was educated in the United States, married in the early seventies, but lost his wife a few years after the birth of his two daughters, Mabel and Louise, who are now grown to womanhood, and have been educated at Ann Arbor, Michigan. This letter was written to his eldest daughter, Mabel, who is soon to be married to the young gentleman of her choice, and seems to be recommending Oklahoma to their favorable consideration as a place to dwell in. Our Cousin S. C. Andrews has been for many years connected with a large book agency and publishing company in Chicago, and seems to be a commercial agent for them. He writes thus: "I was traveling all the Summer and Pall of 1903 in the southwest for Thompson & Thomas. I got as far as Oklahoma, Ind. Ter., and was much pleased with the country and prospects. Oklahoma ten years ago was a bare, wild prairie, with no inhabitants to speak of. Today it has 700,000, and is growing faster than any country in the world. Indian Territory is nearly as large as Ohio, and has only 100.000 of Indian population. The land has been allotted partly to the Indians and the remainder is being sold to set- * * * �THE FRIEND tiers, who are filling up the towns with wonderful rapidity.

It will not be many months, I think, before I. T. is admitted as a State, and then the country will go ahead by leaps and bounds, when the incubus of Indian control is taken off. The Indians themselves are the wealthiest class of people in the world today, as their lands have increased enormously in value on their hands. * In Indian Territory there is an enormous amount of coal, oil, gas, iron, leacT, zinc, marble and other resources, and they never have crop failures as in Kansas and Nebraska.

Loomis, the grandmother of those trip- expected in Honolulu the first week in July. Mrs. C. M. Hyde has also traveled quite extensively in Europe, accompanied by her niece, Mrs. Cornelia (Hyde) Collins, and her husband, and Mrs. 11. will soon return to Ware, Mass., where she expects to reside. Charles K. Hyde is much improved in health but will remain several months longer at the medicinal springs in Germany, where he has received so much benefit, and join his mother later. Albert Kualii Lyman and Charles R. Bishop Lyman, younger sons of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus A. Lyman of Hilo, graduated from the Kamehameha Manual School on the evening of June 7th. The parents came down to attend the graduation exercises. Mis. Rebecca Lyman has not been in Honolulu for the past 17 years and sees many wonderful changes in that time. A letter from Mrs. Clara (Dibble) Inch, widow of Philip Inch, late of Washington, D. C, on June ioth, acknowledges the receipt of the Missionary Album thus: "I received the album, and deeply appreciate it. It is a link between the past and the present. Those times are becoming history and this album is binding facts and faces together in such a way that those times and people will ever be with us in blessed fellowship." Mrs. Inch resides in Washington, and her only daughter Agnes, is her constant companion, though she is, as her mother writes, deeply engaged in a voluntary missionary work. She meets with many wonderful results in the reformation of very bad drunkards and does constantly for them and their families. Mrs. I.'s only son "Robert is a lawyer in New York City, but finds time for a mission class Sunday afternoons." lets, reports them thriving. She says: "The four little Christians have all had the measles at once. Think of it! But they were not really sick; only, as their mother writes, 'if one ran against another, there was a snarl. It is surely a good thing to be through with." Mrs. L. gave a complete account of the Hawaiian curios she has inherited from her Grandpa Ruggles, of which she says:"The finest thing is a feather cape of red and yellow feathers some 15 inches deep, with a yellow silk lining. It was given him by some chief, and is still in good condition, very little moth eaten."

The Fifty-second Annual Report of the Mission Children's Society is now ready for the printer. The full list of officers for the ensuing year has been completed, and is as follows: A. B. Clark, President. W. R. Castle, Vice-President. Mrs. R. W. Andrews, Secretary. Lyle A. Dickey, Treasurer. K. W. Andrews, Recorder. Board of Managers—S. B. Dole, W. (). Smith, L. A. Thurston, B. F. Dillingham, C. H. Cooke, A. F. Judd, S. E. Damon, Mrs. E. A. Weaver, Mrs. C. H. Alexander, Miss Agnes Judd. The coming year bids fair to live long in the annals of the Society, as matters of importance are pending. MRS. R. W. ANDREWS, Sect H. M. C. S. ALEXANDER HOUSE. Wailuku, Maui. The past two months have been full of pleasant work, a little of which is worthy of mention in these columns. A May-pole drill was very prettily done by twelve girls from the Huntington Club. Refreshments were sold on the lanai. A rummage sale of partially worn clothing, marked at very low prices, netted quite a little sum of money for Alexander House, although its main object was to put fairly good clothing within the means of needy persons, who prefer to buy their clothes rather than to sell their self-respect by constantly accepting gifts. ()ne beautiful May afternoon several members of the I lima Club took their lunch up lao Valley, and a right good time we had. During this month two socials for Japanese women have been very much enjoyed both by the interesting little women, who found an almost new world of pleasure, and by Mrs. Gay and myself. ()ne social has been held for boys and girls of all nationalites. Two weeks before the close of the Kindergarten term, Miss Gay took her flock of children for a picnic. The last day of school the little ones entertained a number of parents and friends, by their pretty games and songs and then entertained themselves with cookies and bananas. The few who realize that their much loved teacher is theirs no more are really sorry to part with her to whom they have always been much attached. These partings are exceedingly unwelcome and, personally, I can only hope that Miss Gay's successors for years to �THE FRIEND 14 come may meet her own high standard of sincerity and loyalty. It is equally hard to part with Mrs. Gay, and to realize that her active work among our friends is at an end, tho' the good she has accomplished has become a very part of the lives of many. The mothers enjoyed their last meeting with Miss Gay very much, and, while their babies played and rolled on the floor in glee, the women listened to Chinese music on a gramophone, wove colored mats and played games heartily. On May 20 the first social meeting of the Maui Free Kindergarten Association was held at Alexander House. The report does not properly belong to our work, but will be of interest. The directors and assistants of the four Kindergartens, the Alexander House worker and the Ladies' Aid Society of Makawao, by virtue of their support of two kindergartens, are considered members of the Association. Others are invited to join and pay an annual membership fee of $1.00. Six or seven joined at this meeting. In the absence of the President, Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, the Second Vice-President, Miss Holden, of the Lahaina Kindergarten, presided. After listening to the excellent papers and entering into the games illustrating one of them, the members were quite ready for the picnic dinner. It is hoped that this Association will interest many more and prove of benefit to the kindergartens of the island. Since the withdrawal of the pledge of the Lahaina Plantation from the support of the Kindergarten, its future has been most insecure. Gifts of $400 have made it hopeful for next year, and we are most grateful to the givers. A balance of $162 remains to he raised and any contributions may be sent to either Miss Holden of Lahaina or Miss E. A. Babb of WaiE. A. B. luku. EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM ROBERT S. ANDREWS. U. S.

ThanksHeartily The Friend desires to call especial attention to the generous action both of the Business Department and of the Editor of The Advertiser in their enthusiastic support of the entertainment entitled Old Japan given on the evening of July 22 for the benefit of The Christian Club House on Ktiktii street. Notice after notice gratuitously printed expounded the various parts of the program and gave the reading public an intelligent knowledge-of what was to be presented. Those who attended were able to understand the meaning of what they saw and consequently enjoyed the occasion hugely. The Daily Press of the United States is strictly for business and that explains its excellence. But some of the noblest charities of the country owe their existence to its disinterested love of good things. It is a pleasure to record one more of the many kindly services of our own local daily and to tell one of our good friends how grateful we are for help that was both needed and generously accorded. T. K. These words are equivalent to those which head this column and being meant for our Japanese friends will be fully understood. Side by side with The Advertiser in making '*( )ld Japan" a success stood the Hawaii Shimpo and Yamato Sliimbiiii. As soon as they learned that the project was to afford Japanese gentlemen a pleasant club house embodying gymnasium, recreation, assembly and bathing departments on a broad humanitarian basis these enterprising journals with their characteristic enthusiasm began to champion the undertaking. In every possible way they called upon Japanese residents to rally to the support of the movement as a feature of larger life for their countrymen in this city. Their editors clearly perceived that if such an institution could be allowed to demonstrate its usefulness it must of necessity prove the pioneer to others throughout the Islands. One of the chief features of life in Japan is its many good times. There is much of hard work, there is also the relief of holidays, picnics, excursions, religious feasts, mountain climbing and the like. These the poorest enjoy freely. But Hawaii No. 8 is an endless treadmill with very little to relieve the monotony. No wonder the laborers move about constantly- The Christian Club House aims to help satisfy the craving for relaxation which is so strong and so attractive a passion among the Japanese. The Japanese editors of Honolulu have perceived and appreciated all this to the full and hence their active support of the entertainment whose object it was to place the club house on a firm financial footing. We thank them most heartily for this cordial spirit of co-operation. Strikes Again Waipahu seems to have reaped the whirlwind. Having provoked its Japanese laborers to a justifiable strike and having deservedly lost, just as we foresaw and at the time predicted it gave encouragement to agitators to provoke needless conflicts. The ignorant Japanese is especially prone to the disease of mass infection. Excitable and lacking judgment he is very easily moved to mob action. Like all ignorant folk he does not know when he has gone for enough nor when to stop. He is a rare pre\- for conscienceless agitators.. The only wise method is to treat such a laborer with absolute fairness and determined firmness and to give no just cause for an industrial conflict. For if he have right on his side and as a consequence wins one battle, he fancies himself stronger than he is and is led to provoke contests where right is against him. Though certain to lose such a battle, it may cost much to beat him. Waipahu has found this out. Its manager deserves praise for the wise and forceful manner in which he brought the strike to an end. We are glad to record that the local Buddhist priest came out frankly and helpfully on the right side in the late strike. Buddhist influence in Hawaii has not always proved a peaceful industrial factor- It is pleasant to record this hopeful change of base. We trust Waipahu will soon add to its conservative peace-guaranteeing forces by securing a resident Christian Evangelist. For we have known of many instances where a brave upright Christian leader has averted or led his countrymen to corclude strikes which had no real cause. �4 THE FRIEND Good Service And it was Good A letter from Dr. Kincaid reports delightful experiences in connection with the delivery of the baccalaureate sermon at lowa College, the reception of his doctorate at Williams where Edward Everett Hale was a companion in honor and the graduation of his daughter at Smith College. The Doctor's eloquence is being much sought after, invitations coming to him to supply some of the larger and more important pulpits of the East. In this connection he finds opportunity to speak golden words for Hawaii. Believing that in so doing Dr. Kincaid is rendering these Islands a very important service, Central Union Church has voted to grant him leave of absence for the month of August so as to enable him to accept a few more of the requests to speak which are being showered upon him. The present supply of its pulpit will be continued another four weeks. We have been favored with the advance sheets of the Annual Report of the Evangelical Association which bears the above title. It is a handsome piece of typography departing from time honored usage in being adorned with cuts. Both the Gazette Company and the Robert Grieve firm have had a hand in its production and it reflects credit upon the excellent half tone plates made by the former and the artistic press work of the latter. The work of the year is told in detail by a score or more of those busy on the field- It is a record of real achievement and shows well the many sided enterprises maintained by the Board. For the first time in years ministerial standing appears relieved of the anomaly of double membership here and on the Mainland. The report will repay careful reading. The Friend's Travels These are by no means confined to these Islands. A recent issue of Mission News published in Tokyo quotes a couple of our editorials while Dr. A. E. Dunning Editor of the Congrcgationttlist, which bears the reputation of being the best denominational newspaper published in America, writes as follows: "I have noticed lately that we do not get the Friend regularly and find that it is not on our exchange list. I have ordered The Congregationatist sent it and please see that the exchange is made.'' It is not often that a tiny sheet like ours coming from out the mid-Pacific meets with the request to exchange its 12 annual numbers with the 52 issues of such an able widely read periodical as the Congregationalist of Boston. We are glad to think that the work out here is thought of amid the busy stir of New England 5,000 miles to the cast and the warlike enthusiasm of The Sunrise Empire 4,000 miles to westward. WORTH REMEMBERING. Not only is this true of the face above but also of the record of service accomplished in one brief year at Kohala Seminary by Mrs. Olive L. Bristol. It is like a page from a fairy tale—the story of what was done in reorganizing this school, erecting new buildings notwithstanding diminished sources of support and bringing the year to an end without debt- Mrs. Bristol has been called back to the mainland and Hawaii will miss her presence sorely but her work will abide. Kohala's best aloha will go with her to her future sphere of labor and influence. Suffrage for Hawaiians Elsewhere we print in its entirety an editorial which appeared lately in the Advertiser. We do this because we wish it to be read, by our subscribers on the Mainland who do not see our daily paper, Those who have read The Friend for the past seven or eight months do not need to be told that we believe the Advertiser to be right and Professor Moses in error on this matter of the ballot for the Hawaiian people. There were good reasons in human nature for the swing to the extreme by Hawaiians upon the completion of annexation. If after the events of the reigns of their last two sovereigns and the circumstances attending the revolution and final absorption of this Ter- ritory by the United States there had been no resentment and ill feeling, it would have been a miracle. But the past seven months have shown that these gentle Islanders are susceptible to reason and responsive to appeals to their higher natures. It looks now as though Hawaii were to prove the proposition that given the proper environment and training a people may be fitted to participate in their own self government within a reasonably short time. Too much must not be read into this statement. Hawaii is remarkaly well conditioned for the experiment being tried here. It contains a relatively large proportion of highly educated Americans who passionately love the Islands and will sacrifice dearly to make them what they once have been and again will be—the best governed spot on the globe. The Puritan element is dominent here—not the narrow Puritanism of bygone ages but the healthy, forward-moving, liberal-minded Puritanism of the 20th century that loves righteousness and means to practice brotherhood. An unusually large percentage of the wealth of this community is in the hands of men with missionary ancestry who are not ashamed of their forbears and mean to carry on their work to perfection. Under such conditions Hawaii is the safest place in the world to attempt the experiment of granting the suffrage to a people lately out of barbarism. It is worth while conducting such an experiment and while caution would have dictated a slower policy Congress did wisely in acting as the majority demanded and giving the question of a wide open suffrage a thorough test here. In case of failure little harm will have been done, for at any moment Congress may reverse its action. For the present, however, Hawaii must be suffered to work out its own salvation without any changes in the suffrage features of its organic act. Six months ago it would have been difficult to write thus, but the pendulum had then reached the extreme end of its course, affairs were as bad and the outlook as dark as they well could be. It has begun to swing towards better things and the dictate of wisdom is "let well enough alone." A GreatLoss Before the end of this month our brother beloved, Rev. George L. Pearson, expects to visit the Mainland to attend the Methodist Conference to which he belongs. We rejoice with him in the prospective vacation. He deserves a good season of rest. Few men in any line of effort here bear heavier responsibilities, accomplish more or better work �5 THE FRIEND. or spend themselves more widely and helpfully than the pastor of the Honolulu M. E. Church. We understand that it is the purpose of the conference not to send Mr. Pearson back to the Islands. If this prove to be the case, it will be a sad blow to religious interests here. For Mr. Pearson is not only a fine preacher, a devoted pastor, a public spirited citizen exerting wide influence for every good cause but he is a Twentieth Century Christian leader, carrying no narrow minded denominational bee in his bonnet. This does not mean that he is not a Methodist loyal to the core, always seeking to advance the interests of his branch of Christendom. For he is one of the wisest and most successful leaders connected with Methodism which it has been our good fortune ever to meet, and we have known distinguished churchmen like Bishop Foss, Dr- Buckley and others of similar fame. But Mr. Pearson believes and practices brotherhood in his relations with members of other communions. He has farsightedly built up a strong aggregation of Korean and Japanese churches on these Islands and is singularly beloved by all the evangelists and Christians from the Empire and Kingdom across the sea. It is not every one who is fitted to supervise a work among Japanese, but Mr. Pearson has proved his possession of rare faculties for influencing these charming people. It is bad policy to exchange for an unknown quantity a man so remarkably gifted for his work as the Presiding Elder of this Territory. We trust the conference will think twice before consenting to move him elsewhere, for we doubt whether any Mainland position can offer as wide opportunity for good as that which he now holds. Waialua Equipped One of the dominant features of the Japanese quarter on this enterprising plantation has l>een a picturesque Buddhist Temple. Occupying a prominent site and tastefully built in accordance with Buddhist canons of ecclesiastical arthitecture it has stood as a challenge to the Christian forces of the district. The management of Waialua has for some time warmly sympathized with the desire of the local Christian evangelist Mr. T. Fukao to see this challenge accepted by the erection of a Christian meeting house- This sympathy has taken the form of dollars and cents and now Waialua has its neat little Japanese church home. The evening of July 21 was chosen for the dedication. At the appointed hour the guests found the building brilliant outside with gaily colored Japanese lanterns while within it was tastefully decorated with ferns and crowded with an intelligent enthusiastic science of which these men were but the audience that overflowed through both index, in time the heart of the Nation doors and windows. A little company of was stirred and he won his great victory.

We look for good results there and join the Japanese in expressing deep gratitude to Mr- and Mrs. Goodale and the other friends on the plantation for their generous assistance. FA ORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Our English friends are fond of the phrase "The Non-conformist Conscience." That this is more than a happy word picture Premier Balfour is finding out these days when the battle is being so fiercely joined between Public Education and Education by a segment of the Church. There can be no question which wav the victory will ultimately go. For half "a century British public men have been confronted by a mighty power which few of them have dared carelessly to arouse to opposition. It is not a tangible, organized influence yet it demands recognition. It is called the non-conformist conscience because it is associated with though by no means confined to, that noble body of public spirited citizens, fearing neither King nor Commons, passionately devoted to the service of righteousness, determined that Great Britain shall act honorably rather than grow rich, therefore constantly taking the platform in advocacy of great causes and in opposition to everything in national life not befitting the Kingdom of God—the non-conformist leaders. When these men, moved by the conviction that some grave national wrong is to be attempted, begin to plead with the nation, statesmen tremble; for then their dreams are troubled with the specter of the nonWhen Lord conformist conscience. Shaftesbury in his diary mournfully wrote of the "opposition or coldness from religionists" he referred to the state church whose clergy with few noble exceptions stood aloof from his movement. But as he confessed again and again the non-com forning ministers were overwhelmingly with him in his battle for industrial freedom. Backed by the con- Kinley of having his ear to the ground that he might catch from afar the rumble of Public Opinion. It would be truer to say that he waited till he was sure of the backing of this mighty moral force the Public Christian Conscience. This was most noticeable just before the Spanish war. He would do nothing until he knew that this power was convinced That free Cuba could never come through ]>eace. It is characteristic of President Roosevelt that he forestalls the declaration of this national sentiment rather than waits till it has spoken. He reads by intuition what this conscience is about to demand and then loses no time in delay. The coal strike arbitration is only one of many evidences of this spirit. The main difference between these two statesmen and President Cleveland is that the latter seemingly cares little for the Public Christian Conscience and all for his own. He makes his own estimate final. This is a magnificent characteristic and stamps its owner a dominating man among men. But it is a. mistaken ideal for a social age- It belongs to the past when individualism triumphed and society had no This explains the massive rights. of strength Mr. Cleveland's character and the woeful weakness of +iis mistakes. The whole chapter of his blundering over Hawaii is a case in pointThere can be no question that what makes a nation strong is the high development and sensitiveness of its Public Conscience. When this is dominated by the ideals of the Cross it deserves the name of the Public Christian Conscience. In the end this is a final force, absolutely certain to win. Hence the importance of its creation, its education and of constant appeal to it on great questions of right and wrong. In every community this work of developing an intelligent sensitive social conscience is the predominant task of men of public spirit. There can be no question that Hawaii affords a fine field for this form of enterprise. The response made by the Legislature in recent special session to the appeal of our Governor was due to the demand of this mighty social force. Our legislators, though all unconscious of it, stood in awe of the aroused conscience of the people. Such a demonstration of the power of the social �THE FRIEND 6 moral nature is lwth a sign of health and a great encouragement to fighters for righteousness. There arc still any number of worlds left to be conquered. The conscience of Hawaii is dead asleep on the saloon question, it is moribund upon the evils of prize fighting. Our daily press rightly complains of the increasing evidences of brutality in the homes of some of Unpeople and ]X)ints to the supineness of the law in the face of such cruelty on the part of husbands to their wives that the details cannot be printed, Vet there is no word of condemnation for the saloon evil which fosters the passion to be cruel nor for public exhibitions of brutality which harden men to sights of pain and teach them how to wound without com- punction. With no lack of inducement to attempt of real difficulty yet with assurance of ultimate victory, if they persevere. those who believe in the principles of the Cross have ample encouragement and full Opportunity to use every energy in training a regnant Public Christian Conscience here among peoples of widely differing races and in setting it on fire with the D.

Mingling research study with vacation pleasure it was the writer's privilege, recently, to visit the interesting historic valley of Waimea, on this island of ( )ahu, lying on the route of the railway, between Waialua and kahuku. This somewhat picturesque valley, though small in area, was famed, years ago, for its fruitfulness; and its pink taro was of that choice quality which tradition says be longed exclusively to chief's tables, while the water of its bay, to the present time, is noted as favored of Kuula, the Hawaiian fishermen's deity, for the quantity and quality of its products. Ilany readers of The FRIEND will readily recall various incidents that have helped to make this one of the famous spots of < )ahu's history, the most prominent of which was that unfortunate tragedy in the attack by the natives upon the boat's crew of the second foreign vessel, the Daedalus, which appeared off its shore in May, 17<)2, and the murder of Lieut Hergest the commander, Astronomer Gooch and one seaman. Correcting the statement sometimes made, I say the second foreign arrival, for the Resolution and Discovery, after Cook's death, touched at this locality of windward ( tabu, for water, on their way from Kealakekua to Kauai, February 17, 17~( J. First thought might deem it a waste of time to think of obtaining any information of interest in connection with that occurrence at this late day, yet that was the principal object in mind in our recent visit to the vicinity, hoping thereby to procure sufficient information from the patriarch of the valley. Pelekane, a descendant of early Waimeans, that would identify the place of landing of the party in their quest for water, and the locality of the murderous attack; and if the data obtained may be relied upon (and there is no reason why our informant should furnish any miStatement), the trip was not wholly void of success. This once populous and fruitful valley has suffered many changes with the march of time. The tremendous freshets of sonic five or more years ago terminated the agricultural enterprise of its people by washing out U> sea the growing taro from its terraced banks; the fruit and coffee trees planted along its slopes, and filling up the taro patches and the bed of its stream with debris, rocks and boulders several feet deep. As if this was not misfortune enough, houses and other property were swept away and three lives lost in the effort to rescue personal effects from the mad-rushing torrent which carried away the government bridge and seriously damaged that of the railway company. Last winter's rains also did further injury. Evidences of all this devastation will remain for many years to come. The white sand-beach noted for its small sea-shells found at certain seasons of the year, now closes entirely the mouth of the stream, as it has for a number of years past, though in ancient times, there was free inlet and outlet of ocean and valley waters so that canoes were free to come and go as far Up as the fork of the valley, and it was up this water-way that the boat of the Daedalus coursed, said Pelekane, and landed its party at the western branch. Xcar the base of the bluff on the Waialua side was pointed out as the place where the murder of the officers occurred ; the seaman having been struck down at the boat. Some two years ago our Historical Society assumed the laudable duty of locating the historic spots, or landmarks, of Hawaiian history, that in due time suitable tablets might be erected to commemorate the circumstance or event connected therewith. Deeming the sad incident above referred to as rendering Waimea entitled to such recognition gave the writer additional interest to a pleasurable journey. Some readers may be unaware of the fact that on the top of the eastern bluff of the valley, overlooking the narrow stretch of lowland shore, is located the ruins of one of the celebrated heiaus of this island, known as Pint o Mahuka, the dedicatory fire of which is said to have been felt on distant Kauai. This temple is identified with Kaopulupulu, the martyr kahuna of prophetic power, according to tradition, of the days of Kahahana and Kahekili, and is doubtless one of the spots which the legislature of several years ago had in view when it enacted a law for the preservation of the remaining heiaus, or old temples, throughout the islands. The remaining residents of the valley are now few, and comprise Hawaiians and Japanese whose principal occupation is that of fishing- A little is being done in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, but nothing further in agriculture is in evidence. The gathering of shells by the women and children and making the same into hat-bands, or belts, for souvenirs, help theni to eke out a precarious T. G. T. existence. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII. By S. E. Bishop. 7. The Pentecostal Revival of 1837-8. We have now to note the seventh and last of that remarkable series of events, which successively contributed to the rapid and early conquest of the Hawaiian nation by the Gospel of Christ, and determined the permanent occupation of this central island group by that Gospel, making it a Christian land. After the singular removal in Nov., 1829 of the last formidable element of opposition by the strange disappearance of Governor I'oki, the work of evangelization and education rapidly progressed among the very receptive people under the fostering support of Queen KaahuAdded to nianu and her fellow-chiefs. the vigorous agencies of preaching and publishing was in 1831 supplied a High School for natives at Lahainaluna, where for 45 years, youth were trained in their own tongue in a higher literary education. Many of these in a few years went forth to become efficient instructors in the common schools, and some of them to be preachers of the Gospel. During the next seven years, large reinforcements came from home to swell the ranks of the earlier missionaries, including such notable names as Alexander, Armstrong, Lyons, Dibble, Baldwin, Lowell Smith and Coan. A great campaign was in progress, and the Home churches kept the ranks filled with men of power and ardor to support the veterans Bingham, Thurston, Richards and others. Churches were organized throughout the group, and numbers of promising and earnest converts were baptized and admitted to church fellowship. Up to 1837, the total number of admissions to the church during twelve years had been 1131. But during the three succeeding years, such was the marvelous outpouring of Divine Power that 19,773 were added, or nearly one-sixth of the entire �8 population, while a majority of the adults were unreliable though enthusiastic candidates for church fcljowship. The whole nation seemed to press in one body into the fold of the Lord. Enormous congregations everywhere gathered to hang in deep emotion upon the words of the preachers The entire population for over a year were stirred to their depths. The result of this mighty Revival was overwhelming upon the national belief and character. I lawaii became at once a thoroughly Christian Nation, completely converted from its decrepit and infecting heathenism to an ardent and devout loyalty to the Gospel of the Redeemer. Practically for a whole generation the old vile heathenism remained submerged and the whole community lived under a preponderant ascendency of Christian faith and Christian ethics, however imperfectly the latter were practiced in their mF iF PTFMn boundary of Christendom is indeed a noble and conspicuous one. A lofty inspiration here lends itself to the Lord's people to fulfill a worthy destiny. Some ten or more years ago a number of its alumni mindful of the value of preserving its inheritance of noble names and high spirit determined to rally about lives. This vital regeneration in the hearts of the people began at once to bear fruit in their political life. Under the earnest leadership of King and Chiefs civilized Christian Law began to take shape. Free and just government at once began to displace what had been arbitrary and oppressive. A Liberal Parliamentary Constitution became established and developed during the succeeding ten years. Courts became fully organized. Lands were assigned in fee simple to both chiefs and common people. Justice and security displaced oppression and despotism. Thus in ten years after the great Pentecostal Regeneration of the Hawaiian nation, a full Christian Civilization had taken completed form resulting in the complete recognition by the Great Powers of the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent Nation. And in less than thirty years from the first inception of missionary labor, there stood strongly planted in this mid-Pacific a thoroughly Christian State, in the forefront of the great American Christian Civilization, which was beginning to occupy in force the Pacific coast and confront the vast Asiatic Empires of Japan and China. On Hawaii, a point of priceless strategic value had by special Divine Mercy, been occupied in advance to represent to the commerce of the Orient that enlightened American Christianity. Solitary but central in this vast Pacific, Hawaii stands a bright representative of American Christianity, Civilization and Political Life to confront the mighty Orient with those new elements of Occidental Life. May we not discern beyond a doubt, how Hawaii was specially reserved by a great Divine Purpose, protected and nourished so as in the ripeness of time to fulfill this grand object?

This was given on the Boys' Field on the evening of July 21 and proved a great success. Enough money would have been secured to equip the Clubhouse with absolutely necessary features if it had not been for the roughness of a large number of persons who taking advantage of the absence of the police forced their way into the grounds without paying the entrance fei as it was a goodly sum was realized. ; It being a perfect moonlight night the scene was unusually attractive. The entertainment consisted of wrestling, fencing, jujutsu, shakulachi music and a pantomime. a celebrated Prof. Torajiro Takahashi, swordsman and master of jujutsu together with bis pupils and friends furnished the larger part of the program and treated the audience to rare feats of skill. < >wing to the increasing popularity of jujutsu in America it is not improbable that a class in this form of physical exercise will be organized among the athletic white people of town during the fall. Prof. Takahashi who was formerly official instructor of the art in Fukushima prefecture is a real acquisition to the exercise-loving quota of our population. His generosity in volunteering his services to make the entertainment a success is warmly appreciated by all the friends of the new clubhouse. It is good news to know that he will be connected with the institution as instructor in both jujutsu and fencing. Meantime so great is the interest among the Japanese of this city in the clubhouse that subscriptions are being made to add to its completeness. It is felt that such an institution will aid mightily in offsetting the saloons, gambling dens and other vile resorts which tempt so many into habits of debauchery. There will be nothing narrow or sectarian about this club. It will be open to all Japanese on the payment of a small monthly fee. In its assembly, reading, recreation, bathing and athletic departments it will furnish under clean, healthy, cheerful, moral conditions exactly what young men crave in their off work hours. It is a pleasure to record the fact that among the most earnest backers of the movement arc found such gentlemen of culture and influence as Messrs. Okuzo Sbioda, manager of the Keihin Hank, Chuzaburo Shiozawa, editor of Hawaii Shimpo, Hideo Sakunia, editor of the Yamato Shimbun, Takie Okumura, pastor of the Makiki Congregational Church, President Otohiko Ota of the Japanese 9 Temperance Society, Treasurer Susuke PRAYER FOR RAIN.

She received all her schooling at the Hawaiian Islands: first in the Royal School then under the charge of Rev. E. ti. Beckwith, and later at Oahu College. She was married Dec. 4, [866 to Mr. Frederick Panning a merchant of Honolulu, who was at that time the Russian They had three sons, two of whom, Frederick, and Richard Armstrong Banning died in childhood, and now rest in the sacred little Mission cemConsul. etery in the shadow of Kawaiahao church. Mrs. Panning received further education and culture by extensive travel and residence in Europe. After the death of their youngest son in [879, Mr- and Mrs. I.aiming returned to Germany to reside; but when his health failed some years later, they came back to the Islands again, in hope of recuperation and were here a lew months. In the vain hope of recovery, he tried the trip to San Francisco where he died Aug. (), 18S6. Since his death, Mrs. Panning and her oldest son P.. Rudolph Banning have made their home in < Oakland, Cal; young Mr. Panning making frequent visits to the Islands to attend to the business investments here; and it was on his last trip here, that the sudden announcement of his mother's death was received by cable. Mrs. Clara Panning had been in delicate health for main years, but no one anticipated the grave nature of her disease, which was proved by autopsy to he cancer of the stomach. Relatives here on receipt of the news, cabled back to have tin' body embalmed and they waited the arrival of P.. R. Panning to have the funeral On the 2nd day of July he was able to reach San Francisco, and on the afternoon of Sunday, July 3rd, the service was held in her own home in ( )akland. The exquisitely beautiful marble form seemed so life-like in its calm repose, that the loved ones could gaze entranced. The floral tributes were numerous and of the choicest description. The mourning son laid on the casket a sheaf of the German corn flowers in memory of his father. The faithful and deeply attached Chinese cook whom Mrs. Panning had employed many years, brought a large white tloral star. The attendance of friends and acquaintance was large for, (as every where), she was beloved. Rev. James M. Alexander of (>akland, sou of the late Rev. Win. P.

Artemas Bishop who diecf in 1872, left two children born in Kona, Hawaii, in 1825 and 1827. The elder, Jane Elizabeth, has now joined the majority at the age of 79, born April 6, 1825, and deceased July 18, 1904. Her death from old age and heart failure, was a gentle and peaceful one, after a few weeks of prostration, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Arthur C. Alexander, in Manoa Valley. Mrs. Hillebrand spent thirteen years of early life in America, graduating at Steubenville Female Seminary and returning home in 1850. In 1859 she married Mr. Hermann 1 lillebrand a German gentleman of Honolulu who died ten years later. With her two daughters she revisited the States before [890, remaining many years in New York City, but happily returning to her native land about fourteen months ago with her daughter Helen, now the esteemed librarian of the Honolulu Library. A very happy year was passed with her two daughters and her four young grandchildren, her brother Dr. S. E. Bishop also residing near by. To these dear kindred it has been a source of deep satisfaction that her last days were so pleasantly spent with them. Mrs. Hillebrand was of bright intellect, but of somewhat quiet nature. She had high and firm principle, but the greatest kindliness of disposition, and was beloved as a helper to many needy ones. She passed the veil with a calm and undisturbed faith. Many old friends and neighbors have manifested their affectionate sorrow. A circle of Bishop cousins near Oswego, N. Y. had become strongly attached to her and will join in this sorrow.

Recently I asked Mr. Kennedy, the son of Mr. C. C. Kennedy, who is acting manager of Waiakea during his father's absence, to give a permission to us to preach to Japanese in his camps every Sunday, and he gave it gladly. Then Mr. Boscow, accompanying two or three Japanese boys in the Hilo Boarding school, is preaching there after Sunday School in our church every Sunday afternoon. Sometimes I can go with them. Usually we omitted the Sunday School at Summer time, because the teachers would be gone far away, but at this Summer we do not omit it, because Mr. and Mrs. Boscow are teaching the school. They are teaching us to sing hymn correctly on every Sunday night too. At all they are great help for our churchWe are thankful very much to them. Mr. Westcrvclt gave a lecture on Japan with a magic lantern on the evening of 7th mat. at Haiti church, and it was very nice. On the 10th evening we had a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese in the Chinese church, and Mr. Wcstervelt gave a nice explanation on the pictures of the life of Christ with magic lantern. Again, Mr. Wcstervelt gave a lecture on China and Japan with magic lantern in the Chinese church, but I could not attend there, because I had the night school. One time Mr. Wcstervelt spoke to us about the Christian Endeavor Society at our church, and it was very profit to us. On the next Sunday we organized the society in our church. A HABIT OF LIHUE'S. The way they do things in Lihtie is indicated by the following message from Rev. J. M. Lydgate concerning the recent meeting of the Evangelical Association which convened there: "I am glad to re|x>rt that we came out of the convention, financially, with a surplus—so that it was successful in that way also." This fittingly completes the record of the "Best Meeting the Association evei he 1.1." CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TO THE FRONT. By Hon. L. A. Dickey. The Central Union Christian Endeavor Society is planning to have a course of study on Christian Endeavor methods, giving one evening every month to it and beginning in September. Dr. F. E. Clark, founder of the Christian Endeavor societies, has begun a correspondence school for Christian Endeavors. One of the members of our Central Union society pursues this course by correspondenc, passing examinations which are corrected in Boston, and also takes a course of instruction from Amos R. Wells, editor of the Christian Endeavor World. She is now going to pass on the education she has gained by conducting study classes. A number of the society have bought the text books and once a month the meeting of the society will be given up to the Study of this work planned by Dr. Clark and Mr. Wells. A new plan of the Central Union Society which has already been entered on that the president Mr. Dickey and the I isvice-president Mr. Spencer Bowen have divided between them the entire society and startcil a contest in which every member present scores one for the side he is on, with an extra point if he is on time and another point for taking part in meeting. The score of the two sides is displayed prominently in the hall of the church and thus far the vice-president is ahead. About ten years ago Carlton H. Jenks, a sailor on the man-of-war Charleston, dropped in upon the Central Union Christian Endeavor Society and some one who sat near him asked him if he was a Christian and if he would take part in the meeting. He did take part and said that while he had been a Christian Endeavorer at home he had not acted as a Christian on board the ship but would make a new start. While his vessel was in port he brought many sailors into the society and started a Christian Endeavor Society on board the Charleston. The members of this society have been transferred from time to time to different ships and have had a very great influence among the sailors of the American Navy, organizing many Christian Endeavor societies. In Nagasaki, Japan, a Christian Endeavor Seamen's Home was started, —the one clean, decent place for a sailor to stay in all that city,— through the influence of these seamen and the societies in which they were interested. Carlton 11. Jenks was on the Maine and lost his life when that vessel blew uj) in I lavana harbor. The Nagasaki Home is left as a memorial to him, one room being fitted up especially in memory of him by the Christian Endeavor Societies, the Central Union Society joining. The I limit' has been self supporting until now when the Japanese and Russian war has made all nations withdraw their ships from Nagasaki harbor which is a great rendezvous. Until the war ends tlie Home will have a hard time keeping open and cannot do without outside aid. Central Union Society took up a collection last Sunday evening and raised $25 for the help of the Home. The society feels that it is indirectly the starter of the Home, although it has never been found out who it was that spoke to Carlton If. Jenks 011 that evening in Honolulu. Special enquiry has been made to find out, at the request of Mr. Jenks' mother and sister who would like to know the name. There has been a movement lately among the members of Congress looking toward an advance of the World's Peace beyond the step taken in the establishment of the Hague Peace Tribunal. This is no less than the organization of the �THE FRIEND World's Peace Congress. The Massachusetts Legislature has petitioned the National Senate and House of Representatives to take action on behalf of the country and summon delegates to such a Congress. Many Christian Endeavor societies throughout the union have join- 13 Ed in the movement by petitioning ConMr. Manji Nagayama for three years gress to take action in according with evangelist at Makaweli, Kauai, has also the request of the Massachusetts Legisla- gone on to the Mainland for advanced ture.

A goodly body of earnest disciples has been gathered and his successor will find a large sphere of influence awaiting him. DONE! Kawaiahao Seminary reports the achievement proposed by Mr. C. R.

BUT— - THE DEBT MUST BE RAISED RIGHT HERE IN HAWAII. T. R. No. 9 and its insufficiency is being more clearly demonstrated every month. If we could push forward our plans and occupy every point of vantage with evangelists and school teachers the results would be astonishing. Christian leaders in Japan appreciate this and are in the warmest sympathy with our endeavors here. They know that from the better class of emigrants now going to Hawaii and the States, Japan may hope to secure many devoted evangelists and pastors after they have been led into the Christian faith. We arc not living unto ourselves as we push our Chinese and Japanese work but are bound to start influences which shall permeate all Asia. We bespeak especial attention for the article entitled "A Clarion Call." We commend it to the thoughtful perusal of every friend of Christian work and every fighter for better things in this Territory. We are in the sacred presence of a great opportunity and every high consideration calls upon us to make a sacrifice to sieze this opportunity before it passes. Anyone who knows conditions in these Islands is aware that the Christian Church must be wider awake than ever if she is to cope with the enemy that menace moral and spiritual interests. The recent celebration of Polynesian day by Mormons in Salt Lake City speaks volumes. The widely-scattered liquor shops in country sections of these Islands add their testimony. Mormons and rumsellers know how to JO for their victims personally. They never conduct a wholesale campaign but strictly attend to the retail methods which Jesus Himself commended to His church. The Hawaiian Board is fully alive to the exigency. But unless it is backed by necessary resources it cannot do the work demanded. In this connection we ask all to study the pamphlet entitled "And it Was Good." The wide extent of the Board's enterterprise must occasion surprise to those unacquainted therewith. We have the machinery to combat the agencies of evil. Only the means to run that machinery fully is wanting. Farewell is evidently a very widespread every department.

The I lawaii Shimpo in a recent leading article says: "Reference has been made a number of times in these columns to the general failure of Christian Missionaries to make a dee]) impression on Japanese and to the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as dwelling U]x)ii this charge of hypocrisy on the part of the Christian Japanese both at home and in Hawaii it advances two socalled reasons for "the failure." First, Japanese patriotism will tolerate no God except the Emperor. Second, the Missionary is regarded as the advance agent of land grabbing Powers. No one of these statements is original or new. They are the stock objections popular ten years or more ago in Japan but utterly worn converts to Christianity." After there today. It is strange that they should be offered by a Japanese of intelligence at this late date. Take up the first assertion, "the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as converts to Christianity." The author of this article knows (or should know) that there are today no fewer than loK.cxm communicants in the Christian Churches of Japan, He is fouling his own national nest by proclaiming the majority or even a respectable minority of these to be insincere. 1 fe knows that the 42,<;(x> Protestant communicants are drawn from the more intelligent classes of the community, having a very high percentage of educated men and women. He should know that of the 51,1 Protestant Churches in Japan 93 are wholly selfsupporting and 346 partly self-supporting, while these 42,<>00 Christians expended for their own Christian work last year yen. Rather princely giving for a set of hypocrites! He knows that such men as the late Hon. Kenkichi Kataoka, four times Speaker of the Imperial Diet, Hon. Soroku Ebara, nominated recently by the Emperor as one of three candidates for Speaker of the Diet, Hon. Taro Ando, Hawaii's great gift to Japanese Christianity, Hon. Tokiwo Yokoi, Ires. Shimomura of the Doshisha, and the Revs. Kozaki, Uemura, Ebina, Ibuka, Harada and Honda, Mr. Kanzo Cchimura and a hundred other Christian leaders who might be named are men of whom any nation on earth might be proud. The writer of the article in Hawaii Shimpo would not think of calling any large proportion of his Christian countrymen insincere in the presence of such a company. Of course there arc Judascs in every band of disciples and there are also Peters who fail in emergency but as a whole Japanese Christians are true, noble men. We do out �THE FRIEND think as hardly of Japan as the Shimpo. AYe believe the great majority of Japanese, like the great majority of any nation, mean well and are in the main sincere. When they become Christians they do this because they believe it to be the truth. Let us be chary of calling any large number of men hypocrites. The Emperor of Japan who has nominated Christians to the Imperial Diets as Speakers at least 6 out of 9 possible times and the Diets themselves which have elected them 5 out of 9 times have evidently entertained nobler sentiments on Ibis subject than the author of that Shimpo leader. So also do the military authorities who require that the interpreters furnished the foreign correspondents with the army must be Christians, because so many interpreters previously employed have proved dishonest and denot ceitful. As for the God versus Emperor idea, very little need be said. In the early days of the Meiji era it was hard for Japanese to reconcile their ideas of fealty to the material Emperor and loyalty to the Spiritual God. I hit that this troubles no thinking person in Japan today the writer of the article in question ought certainly to know. In the army and navy the very hotbed of patriotism Christian soldiers and sailors fight side by side with their non-Christian comrades. One of the brave heroes chosen to man the hulks sunk off Port Arthur was a Christian on whose body when recovered a copy of the Scriptures was found soaked with his life blood. ()f the two spies captured at Harbin, Capt. Jokoka, a Christian, won the admiration of his captors who ordered him shot. He left his money to the Russian Red Cross saying that he wished to show his obedience to the law' of his Master, "Love your eneniic.;." No wonder that Prime Minister Count Katsuia and Minister of War General Terauchi are taking earnest interest in affording the National Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations every fa cility for work on behalf of soldiers and sailors. In the face of these instances and many others such as the Emperor's recent decorating of Mr. Ishii, the head of the ()kayama Orphan Asylum, one of the most widely known Christians in the Empire, it i.-> futile to say that anywhere among intelligent Japanese a sentiment exists that Christianity antagonizes patriotism. In view of Japan's emergence upon the scene of world politics as one of the Great Powers, the old-time scare crow of 20 years ago that missionaries were the advance guard of foreign conquering armies has lost all its power to frighten. It is no compliment to the intelligence of Japanese, their courage or their con- sciousncss of power to claim that they are from faith in Jesus by any such childish notions as these. The Japanese are a highly intellectual people. The truth taught by Jesus has already won its way largely to their hearts. Witness in proof of this the Red Cross Society with its million of members. The reasons why more of them are not found in the Churches are various. The chief one is that the number of workers is so small that the vast bulk of the population has not yet been faced with the personal appeal. The reasons which keep those who have come under the direct teaching of Christianity from identifying themselves with the Churches are in the main similar to those which prevent intelligent persons in America from so doing. Japanese are, like the rest of us, human, and are moved by similar considerations. In fine the Christian movement of the past 50 years in Japan constitutes one of the most brilliant successes in the history of Christianity. To denominate it a failure argues either ignorance, inability to recognize the mighty influence of the teaching of Jesus Upon the daily life and thought of the great Empire, determined shutting of the eyes to the evident facts or conscious misstatement. to be scared away 5 his early in that man-making environment. As a boy he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for some years as a means to earn the wherewithal of a higher education. In pursuit of his trade he found himself ere long in the United States where he has spent a large part of his life. Going to Missouri he entered Park College from which he graduated in arts in 1901. He followed this with a full course in Auburn Seminary, NewYork, where he met his future fellowlaborer, Mr. Henry P. Judd of Honolulu. On leaving Auburn he accepted the call to Kohala which will be his first regular pastorate, though he has done not a little preaching from place Ontario, Canada, passing years to place. Mr. Buchanan comes of a family remarkable for the sturdy health of its members. His maternal grandmother still hale and hearty, boasts 10 children, 80 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren, a family circle not yet entered by death. Since the birth of her first child not one of her descendants has lost life, and all today are in robust health. It would certainly be hard to match such a record. Mr. Buchanan has traveled very widely in Canada and the United States. He has seen many sides of life and in addition to the fine training of a carpenter's trade is an expert photographer, having had more than a year's practical experience in this art. He comes to the Islands well fitted for the kind of work demanded of our Christian leaders. Ile is unmarried. We congratulate Kohala on acquiring such a strong pastor and wish both him and his Church steadily increasing prosperity. A CLARION CALL. It comes from one of the leading members of the Hawaiian Board. Rev. Robert A. Buchanan A splendid specimen of stalwart Christian young manhood answered the question "Are you Mr. Buchanan?" with the words "I'm the man," as we searched the Mongolia for the new Pastor of Kohala Union Church. He stayed in Honolulu only a few days en route to his new field but in that short time he won all who met him and gave promise of fine work. Mr. Buchanan was born in Hensall, Every lover of good in the Territory should hear it. It is put in the form of an offer. In substance it is: "land mine will in addition to our usual subscriptions to the Hawaiian Board pay $1000 towards liquidating its deb*, if before the I St of November the remaining $7500 be subscribed by others, their gifts to be additional to their usual donations to its treasury." Those who know the Board realize that it has entered upon a new era of enlargement. It never was doing so much. It is accomplishing this upon a far less expenditure of money. Its business management is remarkably economical. The results of its wide enterprise are definite and inspiring. Plantations are calling for its evangel- �6 ists where once they were inclined to them down. It. employs only men who are above suspicion. But it is hampered with a grievous debt, in round numbers $8500. If this cannot be paid it must cut off 25 per cent, of its work. Will not everyone, who reads this call, respond? It is the Board's policy not to go into debt again. Its approproiatians for the coming year have been made most conservatively. It will live inside its regular income. If you give now to lift the debt you may be reasonably certain that you will not be asked to repeat the extra donation. Again the Board has voted to send a deputation to the mainland societies t<> secure from them aid in pushing the work in Hawaii. If our constituency will arise and pay this debt our deputation will have in that action the strongest possible plea for a co-operative effort. Men love to help those who help themselves. We need mainland co-operation to enable us to occupy the. ground here as we ought. Correspondence has already brought one society into this field to push the work in the English language. Another society is hesitating. We desire a persuasive argument. Pay the debt and upon the wave of that enthusiasm we confidently hope to float another great concern into active participation in the enterprise of planting the cross in every home on these Islands. A great educational opportunity confronts us. We are rarely situated for training Christian leaders for the Far East. Already we are sending young men Christianized here to their home lands for the education we could give them. We have the foundation for a great mid-Pacific institution of learning. A friend and member of the Board is on the Pacific Coast ready to seek the endowment needed to inaugurate the enterprise. But large givers shun an organization in debt. If we rally about the Board and pay off its incurred obligations (obligations through no fault of its management but due entirely to the era of business depression), we can go before the American public with this plea for a great Christian institution that shall gather into co-operation with itself all the many and varied schools connected with our Board. Never in all the history of the Islands have so many features of promise combined to present a unique opportunity. The Japan-Russian war, the Isthmian canal project, the marvelous expansion of population on the Coast, our across-the-sea posons, all argue a mighty incoming of mixed humanity for the Hawaii turn Biic THE FRIEND of the immediate future. We must this with stalwart Christian institutions and with an active enthusiastic Christian propaganda. The Board's constituency holds the key to the situation. Backed by the great Union denominations of the United States and Canada, beckoned onward by the allied Churches of Japan, we have a splendid co-operative army. We cannot go backward. We must advance. But the debt, the debt! like a heavy iron chain it clogs our footsteps. Will you not help lift it? Small or great send your response to this clarion call to our Treasurer. D. S. meet "EVOLUTION OF JAPANESE CHARACTERISTICS." By Sidney L. Gulick, D. D. Having lately read this book, we feel inclined to comment upon some of the impressions received from it. Dr. Gulick has certainly shown a high degree of ability in noting and classifying with such care and thoroughness the varied characteristics of that very remarkable and capable people. The reader feels sensible of a vast increase of definite and classified information about their peculiarities, and about the history of the varying influences and events which have tended to generate those peculiarities. ( )ne feels compelled to rank the Japanese people very high in the scale of humanity both in mental capacity and in moral force, notwithstanding the various moral defects and obliquities of which they have some share as well as other races of mankind. After so searching and minute an analysis of the national characteristics as Dr. Gulick has made, it is doubtless not strange that he has awakened some resentment among that people, since no one can see a faithful portrait drawn of his own features, or an accurate study made of his own character, and feel that it is just or accurate. Nothing is more sure to give offense than to describe your neighbor's character with accuracy. And yet Dr. Gulick has drawn a portrait of a nation, able, high-spirited, and earnest for good. Constantly prominent in this elaborate book is Dr. Oulick's own theory of national characteristics, which is that they are, at least in the Japanese people, not inbred "in the blood," or in the nervous system, so as to have been transmitted by Heredity. They are entirely the effect of their social conditions and habits of life and thought. In modern scientific language the origin of these traits is wholly Sociological, and not Biological. As applied to the Japanese he illustrates his theory by saying, that if a Japanese infant were at its birth to be removed to Anglo-Saxon conditions, and reared exclusively among them, he would in mature life be wholly Anglo-Saxon in character and would exhibit no peculiar Japanese traits, which are wholly developed by the social conditions in which the Japanese people are reared. The author applies his theory constantly and at length, describing the social conditions which tend to generate and fix into habits this and the other peculiarity. While impressed with the probable truth of many of these explanations, one feels that they fail to account for all the facts. One may say with certainty, for instance, that such explanation does not account for the prevailing complexion of the Japanese skin, nor for their average stature. Nor probably does it account for their prevailing cheerfulness of manner, as contrasted with the rather sullen Chinese, although Sociological causes do account for their peculiar formalities in bowin? and address, which probably are not physically inbred. We think it beyond a doubt that the various races of mankind each have their inherited peculiarities, which are incradically embedded in their bodily and nervous constitutions. All admit this to be true of the various breeds of each species of domesticated animals, suck as dogs, sheep, horses and kine. No shepherd would attempt to breed a sheep-dog from other than well-bred collie parents. No dairyman would hope to breed choice milkers from Mexican cattle, or other than high-bred milking stock like Holsteins or Jerseys. In like manner, while all men resemble each other more than they differ, being all from one original stock, there is still a great hereditary diversity in the different races of mankind. This is peculiarly prominent in those races which from remote ages have dwelt apart without contact with other human races, such as the Eskimos and the Bushmen. No one can question their hereditary peculiarities, mental as well as physical. Even in races whicn have long commingled, the racial peculiarities are conspicuous, both in feature and in disposition, as in the Teutonic and the Keltic inhabitants of the British Islands, speaking the same language, but showing marked racial diversities of disposition. It is "in the blood," in the breed. The insular position of Japan, in the vicinity of the teeming populations of Asia, as well as in the line of marine immigration from Malaysia, has given that country a population, which, like that of the British Islands, is of several very diverse origins. There is certainly a large substratum of Mongoloid blood from the �7 THE FRIEND continent. Equally certain is a great admixture of Malayo-Polynesian blood, derived from the enterprising navigating race of Oceanica, who anciently drifted Up through the Philippines and Formosa and the Loochoos. Both these large elements are marked in the Japanese features. And there are other very peculiar elements of feature difficult to assign to any known origin, such as frequent absence of nose-bridge between the eves. One earnestly wishes that Dr. Gulick had been less tied to a theory, and so left open to trace some of the Mongoloid heredities of character, and some of the Malaysian. Of the latter, one cannot help feeling confident, is the peculiar Japanese receptiveness for what is new, which also characterizes the Polynesian, and differentiates both from the extremely conservative Chinese. The present writer is able to present a very marked case of inherited Chinese proclivity in the case of a youth under his instruction about thirty years ago at Lahainaluna Seminary. He was the illegitimate son of a Hawaiian mother, by an unknown Chinese father, brought up exclusively among 1 lawaiians, with knowledge of none but his mother He was fine-looking, with tongue. marked Chinese features, and exceptionally bright in his studies. Knowing the superior qualities of such Inns as domestic servants, we soon employed him in housework, a position eagerly sought by our students. This half-Chinese boy speedily became adept in household work, to a degree never reached by pure natives however bright. He had the curious Chinese trait of invariably doing the same thing in the same wav without deviating from instructions. Here are two instances of this peculiarity, shown in setting rooms to rights. ()n my study table stood a small kerosene lamp, with a paper shade s!ip]X'd over the chimney. It was this boy's daily duty to clean and fill this lamp, and replace it on the table with the paper shade on the chimney. In course of time I got a metallic shade, and put the paper one on a shelf near by. But every morning when the boy replaced the lamp, he took the paper shade from the shelf and slipped it on the chimney, instead of the metallic shade he had found on it. After some weeks my curiosity to test his propensity was satisfied, and after once directing him to put on the metal shade, it was done. This was a most marked instance of Chinese heredity, always to repeat an act in the same way. The second instance related to a chair which I occupied in the evening by the parlor table. a cane seat rocker, another hairrocker standing by a window. In Kas course of time I sent the qane seat chair Honolulu for repair, and moved the hair cloth one to the table. But every morning my faithful boy replaced that chair at its old place by the window, whence every evening I moved it back to the table. Chinese-like, all reasoning was in abeyance, and mechanical repetition ruled the course of action. As before, curiosity let this continue for several weeks, until I gave the necessary order. All persons familiar with Chinese servants will recognize this national peculiarity, transmitted by heredity to this Hawaiian born and reared youth. And those familiar with Polynesian servants know how contrary it is to Polynesian tendencies to repeat any act in the same precise manner, ami how much and patient drilling it requires to make them continue to do anything exactly as they are taught. The Chinaman has acquired that habit and made it hereditary by means of rigid civilizing processes through more than five thousand years. He has become a specially civilized S. E. P..

EARLY A writer in an Eastern journal recently sought to identify John Jacob Astor with the discovery and controlling interest for years of the sandalwood trade of these Islands. The romancer states that Astor's first trading voyage to China was undertaken in partnership with a New York merchant who furnished the vessel and cargo; that upon its return, $55,000 in silver in barrels was delivered at Astor's cellarway as his share of the profits. With this cash capital he is represented as having bought and fitted out a ship on his own account and started her for China, and this is what happened "On her way out she was delayed by storms and had to stop at the Sandwich Islands to take in water and provisions; and at the same time she took on lx>ard a large stock of firewood. When she arrived at Canton a mandarin came aboard and noticing this firewood, asked its price. The captain, thinking it about the same value as cordwood, told him to make a bid. The mandarin bid $500 a and for seventeen years ton of the twenty-seven during which the ships of John Jacol)—always doubling in numbers —continued in the China trade, they managed to keep the secret of the source of that sandalwood. It was only when a downcast Yankee hired a clipper and dodged back and forth after the Astor craft for a year or more that he found John Jacob out. Nor did that Yankee shout his discovery to all the : * * * world, either, but for many years more kept quiet and shared in the profits." The world is too well read in these days not to discover at once several absurdities in the above narrative which arouse natural suspicions, and investigation for facts in the case reveal few threads beyond fancy in the whole story. It is somewhat of a coincidence that research upon this subject — which brought these islands so prominently before the commercial world—should be in progress at the time the above romance appeared. Some results of the investigation may be of interest to readers of The Friend. While the history of the sandalwood trade of these islands in its early development may be vague and s]>eculative. there are, fortunately, sufficient particulars of record to define the time of its discovery and the party accredited therewith, which occurred eighteen years before Astor'i pioneer ship left New York. by which time it is fair to presume the sandalwood trade was in full activity. In Astor's reply, January 4, 1823, to Hon. John Ouincy Adams' enquiry for particulars of his Pacific coast ventures, lie mentions the several vessels he, and the Pacific Fur Company in which he was interested, sent out that touched, or was lost, here, but no claim is set forth of participating in trade between here and China, nor any reference to sandalwood whatever. The first vessel that Mr. Astor sent out was the Enterprise, under command of Captain Ebbets, which left New York in 1809. The year following the Pacific Fur Company formed, with John Jacob Astor at its head, and owner of half of its stock. This company sent out the Tonquin, Jona. Thome, master, which sailed from New York, September, 1810, and was followed in October, 1811, by the Heaver, Captain Sovvles. These two latter vessels touched at these islands on their voyage out to Astoria, and took a number of natives as sailors and laborers. The next vessel was the Lark, which left New York, March, 1813, and arrived off the islands and was wrecked the following ()ctober. After the retirement of the Pacific Fur Company from Astoria and their out stations in favor of the rival Northwest Company, through the war of 1812, at very much less than its value, the Enterprise and her captain appear to figure frequently in the annals of island trade with China. Captain Ebbets eventually resided here for a time and the impression prevails that he was Astor's agent, in which capacity he was a collector of sandalwood in settlement of claims, as wer; a number of others at the same time, so instead of Astor having the secret and �8 THE FRIEND. exclusive enjoyment of a trade affording immense profit, his agent was scrambling with a number of competitors for a share of his dues from the periodical supplies of wood that came to market.

Take it, O VACATION NOTES IN ALASKA. Nome, Alaska, July 22nd, 1904. One of the most enjoyable experiences of this summer vacation has been a trip to Alaska. Here in this busy town of Nome, with a population of from 5,000 to 10,000, within 200 miles of the Arctic circle, one's idea of Northern Alaska is entirely changed. In place of ice and snow, bright sunshine and warm weather now prevail. Men are at work in their shirt sleeves, and wild flowers are growing in the grass. Although Nome is but four years old, she can boast good hotels, electric lights, telephones and a railroad. On all sides men arc busy digging and washing out the yellow gold from the sand and the hills. Several millions of dollars have been sent out already this season. After a journey of over 3,000 miles along only a part of the coast of Alaska, one begins to realize the great extent of this territory. With a size three times as large as California, or twice as large as Texas, it has a coast line greater than that of all the rest of the United States. The trip along the coast on the good old treasure ship "Roanoke," has given a panorama of delightful scenery, grand beyond description. Through the inland sea, with its thousand islands, covered with dense forests of evergreen, aflid here and there waterfalls dropping from snowy mountain tops, hidden in the clouds, the way has been one of most magnificent enchantment. The many stops at the settlements and towns have been full of interest, whereone can study the curious people, the Indians, their odd-looking native homes, their totem poles, their basket making. Metlakahtla is the place where the missionary, William Duncan, for over 20 years, had his model settlement of Christian Taimsions. Here they built their neat cottages, a church, schoolhouse, saw mill, cannery and store; and with their own trading boat, fire brigade, brass band, and local government by the elders of the village, they formed a real Utopia. Every one kept busy in the various industries of weaving, carpentering, rope making, shoemaking, cabinet making and fishing. It was a most wonderful change, in a fewyears, from these almost savage Indians, to a peaceful colony of industrious workers. Quite a large number of Japanese are employed near here in the fisheries of the Skeena river. Their features and many of their customs resemble those of the Indians, and some of their tools are just the same. Across from Me.tlakahtla, on Queen Charlotte Island, are the Hoida Indians, said to be the best type of the Indian races. They are now fast decreasing in numbers. Their images and relics are similar to those found in Guatemalan ruins. They also strongly resemble the Japanese and have a tradition that their origin was from over the ocean. Some Japanese words are found in their language. The Japan or Gulf Stream of the Pacific touches these shores and might have easily stranded junks here. At Fort Wrangell, the second settlement in Southeastern Alaska, opportunity was given to see many of the Ttingit Indians. The word Tling;t means "man," or "people," and this race is the most numerous among the Indians of Alaska. They have, as do nearly all the other tribes, traditions of a flood or deluge, which may have come from their ancestors being landed on these shores from trans-Pacific junks carried over by the strong Gulf Stream. At the time of that "flood" one of the ancestors, it is said, took a bear into his canoe and thus saved him from drowning. From an alliance with this bear, it is said, came the Tlingit race. One of the totems, still to be seen at Wrangell, shows the bear footprints on the tree, and the bear on top trying to escape the waters. The family history pictured by these totempoles, often give the bear as one of their ancestors. Many of their beliefs and superstitions seem to be Asiatic. These many totem-poles somewhat resemble the tiki of New Zealand and the images of other races of the South Sea islands. They have methods of work, and tools, and other customs, like the Japanese; and many Aino words are also found in their language. Mr. Walcott has noted that they have "the Japanese idioms, constructions, honorific, separative and agglutinative particles." Like the Asiatics they have difficulty with / and r. Their language sounds like that of a Welshman with a cold, perhaps because they have lived for generations, among these islands oi fog and rain. Mr. Stoddard calls this speech "a confusion of gutturals with a plcntitude of saliva—a moist language with a gurgle, that approaches a gargle." The visit to Juneau and Douglass island was full of interest. Here at Treadwell is the largest quartz-mill in the world,—more gold has been taken out of it than the price paid for the whole of Alaska. Leaving Juneau and the delightful Inland Sea, the journey was through Icy Strait and past Glacier Bay. Icebergs and miles of glaciers were �THE FRIEND. passed. It was a new sensation to walk over one of these frozen rivers with 300 feet of blue ice under foot, moving perhaps a few inches a day. The well built "Arctic Railroad," at Seward, was visited. This line aims to connect the coast with the Yukon river, but does not reach the North Pole yet. It was a treat to see the beauties of Dutch harbor and the Aleutian Islands. ( >n I'liiinak, one of these islands, rises the beautiful snowy peak of Ml. Bogoslof, so nearly like Fujiyama, that it seemed as if we must be off the coast of Japan. It was a new experience to see the Esquimaux in their furs, and to visit their curious homes. A few Chinese were met with at nearly all the places. 'I be whole trip was most interesting, delightful and one long to be remembered. E. W. THWING.

From Jaluit they may be forwarded by schooner to Pleasant Island ( Nauru). There is some reason to hope that they will reach Nauru within a year from the time of shipment from Honolulu. This experience manifests the necessity for a Missionary steam packet such as the American Board has just sent out to Micronesia via the Suez canal under Cant. (iarland.

THE KINGDOM IN JAPAN. of the noteworthy achievements of the year from the standpoint of worldwide humanity is the publication in Yokohama of a pampnlet of 245 pages entitled "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." To the thorough student of the trend of modern life it is clearthat religiously speaking the twentieth century is likely to go down to succeeding generations as the "Century of Unity. Church history is making fast in this direction and Japan is destined to wield no little influence here; for a pamphlet like the one just named would probably be impossible in It tells the story any other land. of a composite Christian movement in which nineteen Protestant Missions of as many different denominations co-operate, records the use by all Protestants in Japan of a condensed hymnary of 125 common hymns and tunes and by all except Episcopalians of one hymn book (the sales of which during the part of the year it has been on the market have reached a total of more than 50,000 copies) gathers together and presents statistics of all Christian organizations and completes its triumph by the incorporation of written reports from Greek and Roman Catholic Churches as well as from all Protestant Missions. Verily Japan is the wizard among the nations. This pamphlet, the price of which is but ten cents, reads like a novel. The ()ne 9 first half is of especial interest, because it deals with the larger movements of the Kingdom. The latter part is devoted to reports, all of them of permanent value though not as entertaining to the general reader. Prom this admirable brochure we gain some idea of the difficulty of Japan's problem in the statement that the density of her population is 236 to the square mile, or outside of the Northern Island ( Hokkaido) 376, and in parts of Central Japan 461 to the square mile, as against in the United States. No wonder the Churches of the Empire are fully awake to the urgency of the social question. The chairman's address before the Co-oj>crating Missions on "Christianizinga Changing Civilization" was largely a plea for concentration of Christian thought and effort upon forms of social service. All through the Empire the Churches are battling with the social conditions presented. Orphanages, homes for factory girls, students' lodging houses, temperance reform, the new charity, are matters of vital concern everywhere. The opening discussions upon "International Affairs," "Domestic Politics," "Sociological Notes" and "The Business World" —the contribution of that Nestor among Missionaries in Japan, Rev. D. C. Greene, D. D., of Tokio are worthy of a member of the family which in the last generation counted such leaders as William M.

Japan is fast ceasing to be a nation with privileged classes. The deep hold of Christianity is evidenced again and again, su]>crficially by nothing more striking than by the statement that of the 9 Diets of the Empire 5 have been presided over by devoted Christians. Dr. Greene's discussion of the inquiry "Is Japan's New Civilization Superficial?" is very suggestive. We agree with him but the subject is too wide for full treatment. It opens the question handled elsi where in our issue by Dr. Bishop in his contention with Dr. Sidney Gulick. We believe Dr. Bishop to be right. There is no inherent reason for disbelieving that if races of men present biological differences in physical appearance, they also do so in brain construction. The social environment of an individual largely conditions his development. But in the case of a race of men the social whole is due somewhat to racial peculiarities. The feudalism of Japan differed vastly from that of England or from that of Europe. For this there were many causes. One set of causes, however, was 21 — �THE FRIEND 10 . trait or an aptitude into a power, but that they exist is made clear by such cases as are cited by Dr. Bishop, numbers of which could be multiplied by wide observation. The question involves ultimately that of the origin of the varieties of social environment. Why had the Japanese of olden days his peculiar social system? Did the system make the man or the man the system ? The only valid answer is that both are true. The old-time Japanese social system drew its peculiarities from the gradually developing peculiarities of the Japanese race, and it in turn intensified these. This complex action and interaction registered itself to such a degree in the adult brain that the offspring inherited a brain to an extent modified thereby. This seems the true explanation. The Japanese may be as acute in his mental processes as any member of another race but these processes will have a color if we may use the expression all his own. When the attempt is made to exaggerate this evident scientific deduction into the thesis which Dr. Gulick so ardently condemns that the Japanese as a result of his long inherited past posses acer- New _Tapering Arm p [|!k!

Dr. Greene rightly concludes his interesting review of this question by summing it all up with the words: "Its (i.e., the newcivilization's) home is in the very hearts of the people." Space forbids further discussion of the many topics delightfully suggested in this interesting pamphlet. A local Japanese sheet has recently tried to tell residents of Hawaii why Christianity has failed in Japan. To all influenced by its argument we commend this book. It is passing strange that a religion so little influential should provoke interest enough to cause the Japanese to buy 205,064 copies of the Bible or parts thereof in one year—l9o3 —that since the opening of the Christian campaign against prosti- EYrything, Play Imjihi Just Like too Original 4^ /"T"MIE VICTOR is so perfect that it is often mistaken for actual talking and singing, even by persons accustomod to it.

That these are not in some way registered in brain structure it seems hard to believe. This is not to say that they may not be modified or even largely negatived or rendered abortive by careful training. Many a man has doubtless inherited capacities for certain lines of effort, such as artistic expression, which have never been allowed development by the conditions of his training. We think Dr. Gulick has conclusively shown that the Japanese belong in no separate category of the animal kingdom from the rest of mankind, but we find no proof of his thesis that the qualities which the Japanese possess, the peculiar tone of mi.id or way of looking at things, are not registered in the structure of his brain and as such passed on from generation to generation. Such modifications may be very slight. They undoubtedly require the influence of environment to cause their progressive change from their condition in infancy to that in adult age, corresponding somewhat to the growth of a tendency into a HONOLULU, H.

The fact of the case is Christianity never won so decided a victory in any land or in any age as it has in the Empire of the Rising Sun during the last half century. We commend to our esteemed friend, the editor of Hawaii Shimpo, the careful reading of the Second Issue of "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." D. S. CANDIDATES AND THE SALOON. 'You can't legislate men into morality !" How this egregrious folly refuses to die. As though any one ever did attempt any such thing. As has been replied (to the limit of weariness) we do not make laws against stealing to make men honest but to protect us from thieves. So all good men should try to have their vote tell on the liquor question not to stop men from drinking but to protect us from the saloon—the paramount evil of our day. Here in Honolulu there is need of an awakening. There is already a growing sentiment that candidates are to be looked at keenly from this new point of view, viz., "Are you openly on the side of the saloon t not?" Some of us are ready to go this far for the present—all men notoriously connected with liquor interests will be "scratched" most vigorously. "Why?" Because they are not to be trusted on affairs of public policy. The cloven hoof will show itself on any issue. Why should we need to repeat that the saloon is the enemy of good government? It is almost the truth to say that protective government largely exists because of the saloon. Look to it, you zealous party managers ! A BOUQUET. To make the desert bloom is no small thing.

"To maintain a church in a country district is a good thing." That is the general and rather vague way of stating it. To read the inspired scriptures once a week and sing and pray with an aggregate of 2,190 people in the year, or 45 every week (average) is the same good thing, only expressed more particularly. That sort of concreteness is what statistics may lend us.

It is cheering to this is. Why, it isn't half so plausible as our local Act to Mitigate was. But as to respectability, doesn't everybody know that your most dangerous saloon is not a dive ? Where a respectable young fellow can go with comparatively little risk to his reputation and drink moderately, is not this the place more dangerous to society than a reeking rum-hole? It is not the amount of noise or brawls that furnish the criterion as to which is worse. Here is the test: What kind of saloon starts the most drunkards? How shall saloons get at the respectable classes if not through respectable saloons? And now Bishop Potter would out-Herod Herod! Most mischevious; "Motives?" Cod who alone knows them may forgive the Bishop. We hope He will. We sec no reason for the hope, however, that the evil of it all will meet any check by reason of the excellent motives of its author. We might say here that fighting the liquor saloon with saloon may be quite a different matter. If the latter is not a liquor saloon, you have a most effective enemy to liquor. This is fighting Fire with water—and other good agencies, is, in fact "Counteraction." We print some press comments: �THE FRIEND now and then to keep him in heart." Though we be far from the first to recognize the worth of this man, our friend, it needed more prominence than he would ever have assumed to have brought him much general recognition. To have been a pillar of strength for fifteen years in a great institution like Kamehameha, is a triumph. To have been willing to subordinate one's own personality and natural claims for the good of a school: take a second place where one has ruled—and do this twice and show no pique, rather the most loyal support —this is so rare a thing that we know hardly another who could have done it. Know then, that we highly honor you, Mr. Thompson. This superb thing in which the man Moses was pre-eminent is the veriest Kohinoor diamond for rarity. The God-man said concerning it: "The meek (how your present-day successful man scorns the term) shall inherit the earth." Who will gainsay him? for the earth is not yet apportioned, and the word of the T. R. coining King shall not fail.

Hiram Bingham Sen, and his sister, Mrs. Lvdia Bingham Coan. After their visit in Oakland. Cal., where Rev. H. Bingham gave a long and instructive missionary address in the First Congregational Church, which was fully reported in the Pacific in May, they proceeded on to Loston ami Cambridge to the home of Prof. Hiram Bingham, Jr.. of Harvard University. Later in the Advance, we read of the great Union Missionary Convention at Clifton Springs, X. V., where both Mr. Bingham and Mrs. Coan are mentioned as present and making addresses. We know that Rev. 11. Bingham Sen was present at the consecration exercises of the new steam yacht "Morning Star" just before she sailed for her trip through the Mediterranean Sea and Suez Canal to the < h'icnt. And the very latest news from Mr. B. is through a letter written to Mr. Theodore Richards of the I fawaiian Board in which he writes : "My son being about to take a business trip on August 2nd t England for thirtynine days has invited me to accompany him, which offer I have accepted. Mr. Bingham will be back in good season to attend the annual meet of the American Board of Missions in Grinnell, lowa. • Mrs. Coan was the guest of Mrs. Miss Marion E. Dillingham to Rev.

No. 10 Mr. Wadman comes to take especial oversight of Christian work under Methodist auspices among Japanese and Koreans. He is the right man for the place. Fifteen years ago in 1889, Mr. Wadman set foot in Japan as a missionary. Two years in Tokyo, two in Hirosaki getting the language into his soul, four more in Tokyo in literary work, five in Hakodate supervising a large district which demanded frequent tours of two months' duration, and the last one or two years in Yokohama are the outward details of his career in our neighboring Empire. Broad minded, brotherly, alert, full of aggressive fire, things will move under his hands. We are glad to have among us a man of such apostolic fervor and fraternal spirit. We reciprocate his brotherlincss and join hands with him in the warfare of the Cross. Mrs. Wadman with four children is now on the mainland, but will come to Honolulu ere long. Mr. Wadman has one daughter with him. This family will be a notable addition to the Christian C ampaign NThew forces in Hawaii nei.

A year ago Mr. Higuchi meditated coming to Hawaii, but the townspeople rose in such vehement protest that he was forced to consent to remain for a season. Although every effort has since been made to keep him in Japan, he feels that he is called to this mission.

Vardaman tactics cannot evolve a ruling race nor can any line of action which emphasizes anything else than human brotherhood. It is, moreover, a pity to suggest race issues here in Hawaii. Our very safety, to say nothing of any higher consideration, lies in forgetting color lines and exaltmanhood wherever it be found, or this reason we glory in the ndid stand taken by The Adverr in behalf of the principle of independent voting. The Republican party in these Islands has stultified itself more than once by nominating unworthy men for office. It is the one party which has most to lose by catering to lower motives. How arc our Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese voters to be trained in citizenship except through a party which does not subordinate principle to policy? The Republican party simply cannot afford to nominate inferior men. Whenever this it deserves overwhelming feat. Every citizen who rebukes it by voting against its unworthy nominees is helping to teach these new, untrained voters what true Americanism means. Loyalty to party at all hazards is the worst lesson Hawaiians can learn. Loyalty to right will make them dependable citizens. They understand full well such motives as loyalty to race, loyalty to erraft, loyalty to selfinterest. They do not know what loyalty to the public weal signifies. The Republican party makes its appeal to them as the party able to teach them to subordinate self to the common good. It points with scorn to boodlers, prafters and men of that ilk. In order to make its scorn effective it must name for office the best men it has. Then it can claim to be a party representing principle in its nominations. The Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese and Portueuese can understand such teaching. They may not at first always vote for the best men when nominated, but they will in the end learn by experience the value of so doinp. The Friend therefore is glad to endorse The Advertiser in its plea to Republicans to rebuke party managers by rejecting at the polls every unworthy candidate. Only thus can the party be made to live up to its principles. X •does terested and has promised a building CHINESE CHURCH, HONOLULU. for a church. It is hoped that Rev.

He has been warmly welcomed by the Chinese of all classes and seems to be peculiarly fitted to labor among them. He speaks three Chinese dialects with ease and fluency. Though young in years he has had much experience and has witnessed "even to blood," under the blows of the persecutors' bamboo, to the sincerity of his belief in Christianity. We have reason to hope that he will do noble and lasting work here." �THE FRIEND This hope has been fully realized, for Mr. Wong by his kindly and earnest spirit, has won the hearts of all. He will be much missed in the work here, but it is to be hoped that he will have a large field for usefulness in California. KAMEHNOTES. The new school year has opened in a gratifying manner, not only from the standpoint of numbers, but also from the spirit with which the pupils have begun their work. The Manual Training and Preparatory Schools have as many boys enrolled as they can well accommodate, while the Girls' School has had to refuse admission to about fifty applimost cants. President Home has already won the respect, admiration and good will of the student body. His interest in everything which appeals to the schoolboy's heart, his desire to make school life pleasant as well as profitable, and his ability to look at things from the boys' point of view and sympathize with it, has endeared him to his students and has gained their loyal support. His influence over the personal life of the boys will be great and will show itself in the deepening of their characters. A thorough Christian, he is in sympathy with everything which tends to develop a strong, manly, Christian spirit in the boys of Kamehameha. The religious work of the school is somewhat hampered, at present, by the repairs being done to the Chapel. Sunday services are held in Bishop Hall and the joint Sunday School can not begin until the chapel can be used. It is hoped that the repairs will he finished early in October. The Christian Endeavor Society has begun its work with a membership of fifty. This is the only voluntary religious meeting which the boys have and it is hopeful as well as gratifying to have an average attendance of sixty. In all our meetings the C. E. motto, "For Christ and the Church," is emphasized, Christ gives us power and we give it to the church. The Hawaiian church needs lay members who can take an active part in its work. The statement has been made, and perhaps with some justification, that Kamehameha's influence upon the religious life of these Islands is not what it should be. It is the center of Hawaiian educational life, why should it not be the center of its religious life? If it dispels ignorance it should in the same degree dispel immorality and sin. Very few of the school's graduates are doing any real Christian work or have any inter- in the Church. Therearesome striking exceptions to this, hut they are few. Is this the fault of the school or the fault of the race? The Hawaiians as a whole, today, are not a church-going people, which may to some extent remove any extra blame from the training of the school. But let the fault be where it will, such a state of affairs should not exist. 1 believe it is possible to develop a Christian life here which will last beyond commencement day. The idea of responsibility for others, and the obligations of principle are not seated very deeply in the native heart, but they can and must be developed. A deep religious spirit must be first fostered but to it must ever be attached the idea of allegiance to Christ's church and service for others. The Sunday School, the Knights of Sir Galahad, the Young Women's Christian Union, the Christian Endeavor Society, are all doing good work, but they have not given the proper idea of service. They seem too local and lose their significance when the boys and girls return to their country homes. The religious life of a people centers in the organized church of which the societies named arc but parts. They lead to the church, but what church and where? I believe that the whole fault lies right here. Kamchamcha's religious work and life is not at fault, but it is not organized and united under a central organization. By that I mean that there should be a church organized on the campus to direct all the school's religious work and keep it in our native touch with the work of churches. The boys and girls are here when they are most susceptible to Christian influence and many of them are Christians in heart, but they are unattached individuals because there is no church to join. A church to mean anything must be a religious home and no city church can be that to the students whose time is entirely spent on the school grounds. By the time they graduate they have become accustomed to this unattached life and feeling no allegiance to the church do not work for it and in I believe the one necessary thing it. now is an organized church. We have a beautiful chapel but it now means little more than a place where services are held ; it should be the religious center, the spiritual home of every Christian boy and girl in the schools. Every sect and creed is represented here and for that reason the church's creed should be broad enough to include all who love and would serve Christ. If such a plan can be realized, it would be easy to instruct classes of the members in the fundamentals of the Christian faith and thus give them a broad, deep foundation. Another important branch est 5 of the work would he the discussion of plans and methods of conducting Sunday Schools and church meeetings. I believe this would make the religious work of the schools effective and lasting. The Christian students would leave the school with church letters to the church they prefer to join. They would leave feeling that they had belonged to the church and were under obligations to it. Above all they would he in sympathy with church work, and acquainted with its needs and ready to meet these needs. Our native pastors, toiling in the country elm relies, would have to help and encourage them educated, active, zealous lay members. J. L. H. LETTER FROM REV. DR. S.L. GULICK. Matsuyama, August ist, 1904 Dear Friends:— I am moved once more to send you a few words of greeting, this time not merely to report progress, but to let you know that we are on the point of returning once more to our beloved land. It is now almost seven years since we left home the last time (Sept. 2nd, 1897). We would naturally remain on the field ten years. But the Mission has seen fit to call us to Kyoto that I may take up the work of Theological instruction in the Doshisha. In order to make preparation for this work I have asked for a furlough of two years for special study. This the Prudential Committee has granted, so we are now packing up our household goods for shipment to Kyoto and preparing ourselves for our return to America. We are expecting to sail from Kobe, Aug. 21st. These past seven years in Matsuyama have been on the whole quiet and happy years. Our hands have been full of work. The people, both the Christians and others, have been most kindly in their relations with us, and reasonably responsive to our efforts. While the results of our work are not such as we could wish, still we rejoice to feel that we have not labored in vain; some results have been visible, but more we trust are known only to Him who knows the hearts of men. Perhaps the most visible result of our life in Matsuyama is the Factory Girls' Home, of which I enclose a separate report. In this Home we naturally take great satisfaction and also in the consecrated young man who has devoted himself to this work for factory girls. Immediately beside the Home stands the little Komachi Church, dedicated the Bth of July. We may also think of this as in part the result of our efforts, this church having grown out of the Station �6 Chapel which has been carried on the past four years in that part of the city. All of the members live in Komachi and many of them have been brought into the church through our work here. Mrs. Gulick's Cooking and English classes, and my English and Bible classes for young men and also for young women have of course no permanent organization and are not therefore such forms of work as can maintain a permanent life without the help of some foreigner. Rev. and Mrs. Newell are to come to Matsuyama in the fall, and will doubtless keep up these forms of work, taking better advantage no doubt of the many opportunities for Christian work than we have been able to. We leave Matsuyama feeling that we have many real friends here. Our plans after reaching home are still very indefinite. The first year I wish if possible to visit several of our leading seminaries for short periods of study anil especially of intercourse with the professors of Theology. The second year I wish to visit Scotland and England and then settle down for the larger part of the year in Germany. The family will doubtless spend much if not all the time at Mrs. Gulick's home in Oakland, California, where the children will have the best of educational facilities, which we are prepared to appreciate to their full. The most conspicuous thing that has happened to me recently has been the rabid criticism in April of me and my book on Japanese Evolution in one of the Matsuyama dailies by a Japanese student in Vale by the name of Mr. Mori. For twelve successive days the deluge poured forth. It nearly set the town on fire. One group of young men wanted to challenge me to a duel. The City Chief of Police was much exercised, sending a secret service officer to make special inquiries as to my welfare and cautioning me to be careful, fearing lest some violence might take place. The same paper was, however, willing to publish an equally full reply from me in which I showed that Mr. Mori had badly misrepresented my book. This reply quieted matters pretty well and all has become serene again, in spite of the fact that a second deluge filled half the issues for July. The Chief of Police called in person a few days ago to assure me that I need not worry as no one was paying any attention this time to the attack. They had become disgusted with it and did not even read it. On the whole my book has received unexpectedly high commendations from many sources, for which, not unnaturally, I am very glad. We are spending the summer here in Matsuyama and are being favored with exceptionally cool weather thus far. ] THE FRIEND am giving myself night and day to the as in China and Japan.

Letters addressed to 904 Filbert St., Oakland, Cal., or to the care of the American Hoard, Congregational House, Boston, Mass., will always reach us. The foregoing letter is accompanied by a pamphlet of twelve pages, being "The Second Annual Report of the Matsuyama Factory Girls' Home," dated July 18, 1904, and containing six photographic illustrations. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick spent one day in Honolulu, between Sept. sth and 6th, on their voyage eastward, and met many friends here. The Doctor has laid out a large program of work in preparation for his new post of duty in the Dashisha. A WORD FROM THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS. Rev. James Kekela has just received, by way of San Francisco, letters from his two sons, Samuel and John Kekela, residents on the Marquesas, of dates respectively July 15th and July nth. Each of these letters, after treating of matters of general and of family interest, state that the Roman Catholic missionaries upon those islands are being recalled for return to France. Their schools are to be disbanded and their lands arc in the hands of the government, and it is said that they are all to leave. One of these writers says: "These are the rumors that have come to our ears, the truth of which time will reveal." For nearly a century France has been the bulwark of the Roman Catholic missions in the islands of the Pacific, as well ELISOHAF FATMHYLOOMIS It is our misfortune to be considered, even yet, as living at the ends of the earth, and while we live on these "flyspecks on the map of the world," we are likely to die in ignorance of many whom we should delight to know and honor if gravitation did not keep their fame so closely to the mainland. In the Ontario County Journal, published at Canandaigua, N. V., under elates of July 3, 1903, and April 8, 1904, we find obituary sketches of two Hawaiian missionary children of the olden time—a daughter and a son of the pioneer missionary printer, Elisha Loomis—whom we have not known any too well, and they, alas! possibly never even heard of our Society. In both sketches, Mr. Loomis is entitled Reverend. He was not so called while here; and he must have acquired the title after his return home, two years of his short life there being being spent as a missionary to the Indians at Mackinaw. He came to the Islands in 1820, and returned with his family in 1827, taking manuscript copy of the gospels of Matthew, Mark and John; and in the next year these came out in that little volume of 171 pages, bound in red cloth, and each of the three title pages hears the words—"Hookahi keia oka pai ana— ROCHESTER, N. Y.—l'aiia i ka mea pai palapala a Luniiki—lß2B." Miss Amanda Loomis, the subject of the first mentioned sketch, was horn in Honolulu, Dec. 4, 1821. Her primary education was acquired at Rushville, (hitario county, N. V., where her father's family lived; but in June, 1842, she was graduated from the Ontario Female Seminary at Geneva, having also become an expert musician. She taught in various schools near home, and then, in 1845, for the sake of a milder climate, she accepted an offer to take charge of the female department of the Natchez Institute, Natchez, Miss., making the trip via New York, the Atlantic and the Mississippi. Here she continued �THE FRIEND until the outbreak of the Civil War, when is driven to the rummeries and hell-holes she went to Ypsilanti, Mich., making outside of camp.

My Dear Sir: —Please accept my thanks for copies of the "Eighty-Second Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association," and for copies of Dr. Scudder's sermons. The accounts given in these reports, of the successful work conducted for the new pagan population of the Hawaiian Islands, are very surprising and encouraging, and should be more widely known. To have formed in a few years 13 Japanese churches, 5 Chinese churches, and 3 Portuguese Churches, besides 11 Chinese Schools, 6 Japanese schools, and to have conducted girls' seminaries and hoys' schools and kindergartens and social settlements for seven nationalities, is a noble beginning of a work hardly second in necessity, difficulty and importance to the former evangelization of the native Hawaiians. Very truly yours, J. M. ALEXANDER. CANTEEN CANT. Now people generally connect this sort of cant with prohibition and the "wellW. C. T. U. women.

This latter work is in the hands of Theodore Richards, who has divided the Sundays so that the Five divisions of both Old and New Testament History shall have their proportionate number of days. For instance, the first period, from Creation to the Deluge, has two Sundays alottcd to it in which Adam and Noah are discussed. A brief time will be left for treatment of Bible Institutions. The superintendent of the class, Mr. 11. C. Brown, together with his wife, Mrs. Brown, take up method and class and Sunday-School management. The session is only one hour, from 9:45 to 10:45. A “CLUB” INDEED! In the little town of Hookena, Hawaii, is a"club." If we called it a saloon we would not be flattering it unduly. That it is a"club" gives it its status. The women of Hookena want it moved. Where on God's earth shall we put it ? Do you want it in your neighborhood? It has been moved once and can be again banks nearly without injuring its efficiency. What? You don't know what a club "Deposits of savings doubled. "Court-martials have slightly decreased. "Admissions for alcoholism have decreased 33 per cent. "Admissions to the sick list have decreased 20 per cent." These are carefully worked-out figures and we only quote the results. Any one wanting details can be accommodated. Of all the doctrines of "expediency," —the "gold-brick"-ism of philosophy in whichonecan juggle with a cause anil succeed in fooling the effect, —how is this one? Given a fairly decent set of young men, (Miles says "who have not formed the habit of using liquor," but we won't claim that). Problem: How to keep them decent to the point of efficiency. Answer: Coop them up; occupy them half their time and keep the beer keg under their noses. SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS. 7 NORMAL The second term of the Kawaiahao branch has opened hopefully. Nearly forty are enrolled. At the first session the examination papers of last term were discussed very generally and no marks were given out. The puri>osc was declared of presenting certificates to those who have done faithful work at the end of the year, which is to be the last Sunday in May. Prof. Wood of the Normal is? Here's what the Hookena women say about it: "At first it was opened to anyone who wanted to go in the lion's den, but it is a club." That leaves it still a mystery. But again, "Since this club has started, disturbances, fighting and all annoyances have happened." "There are children all around there, quick to catch the vulgar words and acts of the drunken". "the old and the young go into this den and drink till they are senseless". "two little schoolboys, one aged 12 and one 13, were made to drink in this den. That happened on the 25th of August." Now do you recognize it ? It has all the earmarks of a common, every-day saloon, although— "they got it dozvn here secretly because they knew w* were always against having a saloon around this place." Is the Territorial Treasurer responsible for this? ()r is it a matter of Ickjsc laws ? .. . ... WHAT IS WRONG? In our bringing-up, for example, have are been poorly instructed on the subject of "giving?" Is it "giving," anyway, when we pay for church and missions; and if so, do we Christians unconsciously place Jehovah in the same category with a street beggar when we put our five cent piece in the contribution box? Perhaps �8 THE FRIEND there is a duty in the matter and we haven't been informed about it. Why do some large churches, like'our own Central Union, for instance, get behind financially? "Because of hard times." Let no one deceive himself that way! We all have money to spend on ourselves. "Because the wealthy men do not come forward?" Not so. If it were true it would hardly be sufficient excuse. There are left too many responsible members. Comparisons arc invidious, but do members of secret fraternities consider that they are "giving" when they pay their proportionate share of lodge expenses ? Because "salvation is free" and no dues are charged on entrance to the church, shall a man sponge for his spiritual food? Assuredly not! No one really thinks so, but this desultory charitable notion is to blame: "If my emotions are properly worked on I'll give GOD a half-dollar." Why, it's fairly blasphemous! Note this: Systematic paying is what is needed; and there is more business than sentiment about it. If lam Christ's —bought with a price,—what relation has my income to that fact? "Oh," you say, "it's all His!" Yes, yes, but what is the practical outcome? How much escapes your selfish uses and gets into the channels of the work for which Christ died,—or even for the purpose of making your morning pew comfortable? If Christians paid as much as one-tenth of their income to Christ's uses there would be almost no church debts and the world would be brought to the knowledge of Christ in one generation. If tithdng is "too slavish," (by the way, let us note Scriptural grounds for it), then let it not be said that a slavish notion results in more than the free offering of a son and heir, yea—"joint heir." BOYS’ CLUBS. Mr. Turner arrived on the Korea, Monday, Sept. 26, full of enthusiasm for his work and of ideas for use in boys' clubs and Sunday schools. He reports a profitable conference in Winona, Indiana. A meeting of the officers of the clubs was held in Castle & Cooke's office, Friday, Sept. 16. The subjects under discussion were the trade school and the field. A report was read by the treasurer, Mr. Castle, showing something of a debt on the field, but with a portion of the needs of the year subscribed for. Just the right man to look out for the trade school is one of the problems. The committee think they have the right individual to recommend for the next meeting. It is proposed this year to offer the use of the school to certain boys' and girls' schools in the neighborhood so there may be the biggest possible use dia and China, when several millions of of the plant without conflict with the men, women and children slowly waste engagements of the boys' clubs. away to death by starvation.

It has been perhaps a fond hope of optimistic minds that this Twentieth Century would become one in which the violent struggles of past centuries would be abated, and it would be pre-eminently a century of peace. But instead of any realization of so sweet a hope, this new century in its early outset already meets a baptism of blood and fire, scarcely less violent than what ushered in the nineteenth. And everywhere we see the Great Powers equipped with larger and more complete forces for mutual destruction than ever before. Military skill is more perfect, and more thoroughly and systematically cultivated. Arms both of power, precision and rapidity are immensely more advanced and numerous, while the naval armaments of at least eight nations are each of them adequate to crush in a few minutes the world's combined navies of fifty years ago. The whole presages not any near-by Peace, but desperate Wars. But the question still arises, how great, comparatively, is the evil of War? When we read our cable dispatches, how perhaps 50,000 men have been killed and wounded in a single week's operations in one locality, one's mind turns almost sick with horror at such" a mass of human slaughter and suffering. But we may well bethink ourselves whether such evil is the greatest, or even one of the greatest, which befalls mankind. Consider the oft-recurring facts of famine years in In- Tolstoi, who wholly misinterprets the teachings of the Lord Jesus on this subject. Neither Christ nor His Apostles ever denounced war itself as the instrument of national power and defence, nor did they ever represent the soldier's calling as other than worthy and honorable. Their exhortations against all spirit of revenge and private resentment are quite another thing. "Blessed are the peacemakers" never meant that any nation was meekly to bow its neck to the tread of an insolent conqueror, when it was capable of protecting its people from ravage and tyranny. Our American ancestors did nobly and righteously when they threw off the yoke which the tyrant, George, sought to fasten upon them. May the day never come when nations will flinch from righteous defense of their own people or of others oppressed. It is our own judgment that Japan has done only its highest duty and done it nobly in arresting the insolent march of Russian Despotism over the lands and seas of the Orient. We believe that the God of Hosts is on the side of Japan and is giving her the victory. And we earnestly expect that such victory will be for the ultimate good, not only of Japan and China, but not less of Russia and S. E. B. Europe. NEWS ITEMS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Rev. and Mrs. John P. Erdman, whose marriage in California was announced in last month's Friend, arrived as expected. They have passed their honeymoon in Honolulu. For �THE FRIEND weeks they were the guests of Judge and Mrs. Walter F. Frear in their chalet on Tantalus, where the Frears were enjoying their summer vacation. Returning to the city to meet Mrs. B. F. Dillingham (the bride's mother), on September 6th, the rest of the month has been passed in the home of her childhood, preparing for her change of home, and receiving many attentions from friends. A very interesting incident of this month was at the meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific Isles, on the afternoon of Sept. 6. This was the first gathering of the Board after a three months' vacation. A short farewell exercise had been planned by the new President, Mrs. Doremus Scudder, who presided that afternoon, in honor of our departing missionary daughter, Mrs. Marion Dillingham Erdman. A short address by Dr. Wm. M. Kincaid voiced the feelings of all, in parting with this beloved young missionary, our affection and appreciation of her, and joy that we were to be so represented in Japan. Then followed the touching response of Mrs. Emma (Lowell-Smith) Dillingham, Treasurer of the W. B. M., her mother, speaking of her pride in her own missionary parents; also with trembling lips she expressed her perfect satisfaction in dedicating her child to missionary work, and confidence in God's plans for the future of His cause. Tearful eyes were the responsive answer of the audience to this brave mother heart! Then came a few brave, simple words from the daughter, who modestly and calmly expressed her purpose to take up this work in the strength of the Lord. She was then seated by her mother's side, in view of all, and her husband, Rev. Mr. Erdman, was called on for a few words. He told of their expected field of labor, and their desire to be used in the work together, of building up Christian youth in Japan. He was then Mrs. Dillingham's left, seated on through the rest of the meeting. Rev. and Mrs Erdman expect to leave for their field September 27th. An interesting private letter from the pen of Mrs. Lucy (Wetmore) Lewis of Hilo, Hawaii, was lately shared by M. A. C.; a few incidents are condensed here. Mr. Charles S. Lewis, her husband, whose home is in Oakland, Cal., decided to take his vacation in Oakland, Me., his old home, and to vary the regular course of travel, they took a Panama steamer, touching on the way at some of the ports of Guatemala, taking in a cargo of crude India rubber and enjoying the wild coast mountain scenery. Some of the peaks two are volcanoes, and only last year a de- structive eruption took place. They intended to cross the isthmus and proceed by steamer through the Atlantic to New York City, thence to Maine. With the reopening of the schools all over the Islands it is encouraging to learn that all the boarding schools to which the H. M. C. S. were so long pecuniarily helpful, are doing well. Miss Ellen G. Lyman, after a rest of almost four years from teaching, has taken her old place in Hilo Boarding School. Miss Anna I. Forbes is one of the teachers in Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. About two weeks ago arrived from California Mrs. Grace P. Haven, a grand-daughter of Sheldon Dibble, to try teaching for a year in the Kona Orphanage, the institution founded byMiss Alice Beard. She is a widow, her husband (an earnest, successful California minister of the Congregational church), having died about a year and a half ago. She had gone back to teaching in the San Jose Normal School. Many of the cousins in Honolulu were happy to make her acquaintance during the ten days she was here. On Saturday, Sept. 24, by steamer Kinau, arrived our Cousin Miss Fidelia Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii, under the care of her nurse, Mrs. Thomas Dickson. She is still very feeble, and the journey has been taken in hopes she may rally further, and by change of scene and circumstances be aroused and strengthened. It is sad to have to record fresh bereavements. The note of death of Mrs. Jane (Shipman) Reed (mother of the Shipman family of our own circle) was entered in The Friend last month. She passed peacefully away after long and painful suffering, on August 21st, 1904. Her funeral was largely attended from the Haili Church the next day, and was conducted by the Hawaiian pastor, Rev. Stephen Desha, assisted by Rev. Curtis Shields of the Hilo Foreign Church. Her pupils of a former school of Hilo girls, trained in the early sixties, covered her grave with flowers. On August 31st the sudden announcement of the death of Mrs. Sybil Augusta (Judd) Carter, (widow of the late Hon. H. A. P. Carter), after two days' illness from pneumonia, brought not sorrow only, but joy, to many who have loved her so, and watched her long, lingering decline of over ten years, during which she has been a lesson of patience, submission and faith to this community. Her son, Governor George R. Carter, had returned from his trip to Hilo a few days previous. The funeral at "Sweet Home" was 9 largely attended by every class of the community. The family lot in Nuuanu Cemetery was reached by a short walk through the family grounds, over a grassy lawn, while the strains of sweetest music came from the Government Band, stationed just mauka of the grave. All the arrangements for interment were touchingly complete and restful. The arrival that morning of Dr. William M. Kincaid, her pastor, from his vacation East, seemed most opportune. He read the Burial Service of the Episcopal Church, while Rev. Henry H. Parker, (Mrs. Carter's beloved neighbor and friend, who had often before ministered in that home), read Scripture and offered prayer. The news by cable on September 13th of the death of our Cousin Samuel T. Alexander in Africa, comes so close on the shock of the death of Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, his traveling companion, as to complete the association of their life time by this annual closing event, their mutual death in Africa. S. T. Alexander had consummated his desire to reach and view the "Victoria Falls," but met with an accident there, which was the cause of his death. A memorial service of the 11. M. C. Society is planned for Monday evening, September 26th, in the chapel of the Oahu College Preparatory department, which will be reported in future. M. A. C. UNIVERSITY WORK FOR CHINESE. By Rev. E.W. Thwing. A recent number of the New York Times gives interesting facts as to the progress of educational work for the Chinese. Colleges and schools arc being organized throughout the Empire. A UNIVERSITY AT CANTON. Speaking of one of the most importof these institutions, the Times says: "Within a very few weeks active work will begin in China upon what is undoubtedly destined to be the largest college in that country devoted to broad educational principles in the English language and in accordance with the most modern high school and college methods. This institution is the Canton Christian College. It occupies temporary quarters in the suburbs of Canton at present, where the work has been carried on for five years. During that time the trustees and others in this country who are interested in the development of the colant �THE FRIEND 10 lege and its work have been raising money and planning a permanent system of buildings, which, when completed, will offer facilities for 3,000 or more Chinese students, besides containing ample room for the residences of the teachers and officers of the college. "This large property will not assume appearance all at once. Several years undoubtedly will be required before the ambitious scheme of the founders will be realized. The first and most difficult part of the work, however, has already been achieved. The college is organized, the foundation has been laid, several teachers, graduates of American universities, are in charge of the educational work of the college at present, a fund of over $]00,000 has been raised to begin the permanent college buildings, and the land—thirty-five acres—has just been purchased." a collegiate University work for the Chinese and Japanese than in this Hawaiian Territory. Many bright young Chinese and Japanese students are now living here. With the best opportunities for Western learning, many others will come from China, Japan and Korea to secure a better education. China is unusually rich in mineral wealth. Her development and advancement can best be accomplished by training and educating her own people. It is most fitting that at this, America's outpost in the Pacific, there should be a fullyequipped college or university for the Chinese and Japanese. And for every dollar America puts into the upbuilding and advancement of China and Chinese, she will secure tenfold returns in trade and friendship for her neighbor on the other side of the Pacific.

And so our vision climbs to the wooded mountain crests which hide themselves in billowy clouds, or touch the blue sky bravely, as if in delight at their own loveliness. The changing light and shade make the scene one of transcendent beauty, never monotonous, for it is never twice the same. A sense of deep peace falls upon you and, under its gentle influence, you forget the "trivial round" and the petty cares, and rest. Then, while you rest, you recall the Wondrous imagery of the Bible as your mother taught it to you, long ago when you were a child. You remember how the mountains were made to express the varying emotions of the soul. How they told of divine power; of enfolding care; of love, of joy and peace. How they trembled as with fear and fled at God's rebuke. How they shouted and sang; danced and clapped their hands in exhuberant joy. Your heart sings with David: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." You recall the promise,—"They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion which cannot be removed but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth, even forever." Look ! The westering sun is painting the clouds with tints of rose and pearl; the deepening shadows touch the "hills of God" with loving fingers; the kindly air seems like the divine "breath of life," which changed the soul of man into the "living spirit," and "He who made us," though perhaps, we had half forgotten Him, becomes again, as to our childish faith, a real presence in whose loving care we can safely trust. MRS. J. M. WHITNEY. REMINISCENCES OF REV. T. L. GULICK. It must have been in the summer of the writer remembers to have been voyaging in the pleasant company of the late Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, who was at that time nearing the close of his pastorate of the Makawao Foreign Church. We were on the steamer Kinau bound for Hilo. It was a pleasant afternoon. We had left Kohala point behind us. We had skirted the beautiful Kohala plantations, had speculated upon the apparently recent age of the volcanic cones on the crest of the northern ridge of the Ko- 1892 that hala mountains, and were opening the great I'ololu ravine,out of the upperend of which my father had laboriously climbed in 1825. Before us lay what was like a great recess on the northeast flank of the Kohala mountain. It was about eight miles in breadth along the coast, and one and a half miles in depth. It included the two vast valleys of Waipio and Waimanu, as well as those of 1 lonokane and I'ololu at the northwest. The nature of this wonderful piece of scenery became at once the subject of earnest discussion. It was my first near front view of it from the ocean. Expressing a desire to pass nearer the shore, Mr. Gulick spoke to the captain, who at once kindly headed the ship close in, where we had a wonderful view of the mighty verdure-clad precipices towering from 1500 to 2000 feet above us. 1 began by propounding the opinion that this vast wall of precipice was simply the effect of marine erosion; of the wearing away of the coast by the ocean waves, such being apparently the cause of the low precipices along the part of theKohala coast which we had just passed. To this Gulick at once demurred, and strongly contended that it was caused by an immense fracture of the mountain side which bad broken off and fallen into the ocean depths. I did not readily accept this opinion, but became gradually convinced by the cogency of his reasoning, and have ever since been thoroughly satisfied of its correctness. It was a good geological lesson taught. Without undertaking to repeat his whole line of reasoning, the chief arguments were perhaps as follows: Such an enormous precipice could not possibly have been cut away by the ocean waves. It was several times the height of the sea precipices both northwest and southeast. Moreover, this huge wall was recessed back of the other coast lines, from one and a half to two miles into the mountain, indicating that a massive section had been taken out by a sudden local convulsion. An especially strong piece of evidence was the existence of a vast chasm parallel to the coast, lying from four to five miles inland. This chasm was about a mile wide, mainly opening into the great Waipio valley, but also showing at the head of Honokanc. Such a chasm lying directly athwart the natural course of streams, could not have been caused by Aeolian erosion. It must have been the effect of the same rending convulsion which broke off the shore line, and remains as visible proof of that peculiar violent action. It should be noted that this inland chasm does not communicate with the great Waimanu valley, but lies right across the head of it, separated by a nar- 1 THE FRIEND - row ridge-. I give some of these facts and figures from the recent careful map of the island. Mr. Gulick especially adduced the frequent existence on these islands of extensive littoral precipices, evidently fro Hired off by l<x al convulsions which have dropped large masses of mountain into the ocean depths. I was able to confirm this from my own observation. Very conspicuous on the island of Hawaii is such a fracture in Puna, directly south of and seven miles from the volcano of Kilauea. It is evidently quite recent. The precipice is over 1500 feet high and many miles in length. Above the brow of the precipice lie a succession of fissures p.uullel therewith, as if ready at any moiiunt to break off. On the map ibis precipice is some fifteen miles in length. At its base is a broad shelf of fresh- looking lava, some three miles wide, evidently poured into the sea at the time of the convulsion. The uplands between this and Kilauea are studded with recent cinder cones, evidences of explosive eruptions apparently of the same date. Again on the Kona coast is a clear trace of a similar precipice, extending from north of Kealakekua bay for some six miles to beyond Ilonaunau at the fionolulu Iron Olorks 00.

The one exception is the precipice at the head of Kealakekua bay. There the lava streams have shunned the precipice, but have flowed down to the sea on either side, thus enclosing the bay and harbor. Elsewhere along the Kona coast, where the calm sea is devoid of tendency to marine erosion, are no precipices, but the long mountain slopes descend regularly to the ocean. The north shore of the main mass of the island of Molokai seems to have been formed in the same manner. The whole northern part of the mountain has broken off and disappeared, leaving an enormous precipice along the whole coast. Indeed, this great fracture seems to include the western half of the island. A great fracture and subsidence of the same kind of very recent occurrence seems to be that which produced the long precipice facing west, which extends from the south point of Hawaii due north far inland into Kahuku. This conference between Brother Gulick and myself was a memorable one as to my own knowledge gained. This dear friend subsequently made many remarkable journeys in lands remote, and now in the ripeness of years, has closed his bright and active life of service in the interior of Africa, antipodal to his native land of Hawaii. INFIDEL AND REVERENT HIGHER CRITICISM. No doubt it is far too late in this age of increasing knowledge for any Christian teacher plausibly to maintain the ancient doctrine of our fathers, that every part of our Bible is historically true, and that every one of the sixty-five separate books of which it was compiled long after they were written, were supernaturally dictated by inspiration from God, and verbally accurate. It must be fully admitted to be the fitting and reasonable function of the Higher Criticism to search out and duly weigh the evidence as to the source and origin of each book. And this task must be performed as thoroughly and impartially as that of striving to determine and verify the true origin of the poems of Homer or Horace, or of the histories of Thueydides or Tacitus. In such an investigation it must be assumed as a real possibility, that some of the books commonly thought historically true, may probably be found to be works of sacred fiction, and others may prove not to have been written by their nominal authors. Job and Jonah may prove to have been Sacred Dramas. Isaiah may be a combination of the writings of two separate prophets. The authorship of THE FRIEND certain books of the New Testament may possibly have been assigned to the wrong writers. The Antediluvian portion of Genesis may prove to have been compiled from obscured traditions preserved in Abraham's family, and reflecting only a general historical verity. All such maybe legitimate results of a sound and reverent study of the Sacred Books, and to be treated as such by earnest believers in the Bible as containing a reliable Revelation from God. One may even go much farther and saythat very tolerant and forbearing treatment may be due to the conclusions of some Higher Critics who seem needlessly to invalidate the genuineness of greatly valued portions of the Bible, such as the Book of Daniel, or even the authorship of the Gospel of John, while yet they hold to the great sacred and Divine element pervading the whole great compilation. Impartial fairness as well as the spirit of Christian kindness forbids us to pursue with reproaches truly believing men who are earnestly striving to attain the truth, even though we may clearly perceive that they are being misled. But there is a very different spirit pervading a large proportion of the Higher Criticism now prevalent especially in Germany, and becoming prominent in England and America. It is a spirit of radical Unbelief in any Divine Revelation to man. It is therefore fitly and properly to be termed Infidel Criticism, and is to be thoroughly distinguished from that Reverent Criticism which heartily recognizes and delights in the presence of God's Word in the Bible. This Infidel Criticism begins by positing as a fundamental principle that God does not and cannot directly reveal Himself to the mind and thought of man; that all miracles are necessarily untrue and delusive; and that all reported revelations, such as Paul's on the road to Damascus, must be unfounded fancies of a disordered mind. Hence, all records of Revelations are to be dealt with by the critic as unhistorical or spurious. Another basal principle of this false criticism is that the origin and source of every form of religious belief is to be found solely in the mind of man himself; that all Religions are the products of Evolution, which is the fundamental principle of all growth and progress; that therefore the source of the Monotheistic religion of Jehovah in Israel is to be sought in a gradual growth and development, so that all pretended records of a Divine Revelation through Moses are to be discarded as unhistorical. Thus the labors of the Infidel Critics are guided wholly in pointing out the line between the real and the fanciful in the Bible, as predetermined wholly by their own fundamental rule of unbelief. All that is supcrnatu- ral is necessarily fanciful. The residuum of the real leaves man to absolute unbelief in any revealed Word of God. Confused and fantastic masses of this Infidel Criticism are being put forth to discredit the Bible by learned professors in Germany, and often adopted with approval even by Theological teachers in England and America. For this very prevalent and grotesquely fantastic Criticism of Unbelief, the loving Christian believer, whose soul recognizes in the Bible the voice of his God and Father, can feel only repulsion and horror. It rises before his mind as a poisonous enemy. Our faith remains unshaken in the Sacred Record of God's Revelation of His ways and His will. Our hearts respond awedly and lovingly to His appeals and His promises. Above all, we rapturously own in the Lord Jesus Christ the supreme revelation of the Father, the "One altogether lovely." Those fantastic devices of evolutionistic critics to shake our hearts' adoring faith are only wind-drift beating against rock-sealed castles. It is only another form of the enemy's pertinacious war against Christ.* Church. But the gates of 1 lell are not to prevail. S. E, B. A GOOD ELDER. Our Chinese church at Kaiopihi, Kohala, Hawaii, has a good elder, Mr. Leung Cho Shin of Hawi. He was born in Ka Yin Chew, Canton, China, fifty-five years ago. When he was a young man he studied theology for a long time in the Theological College of Lei Long. He is thoroughly versed in biblical knowledge. He is a good-natured man, strictly upright and honest in his dealings. When Rev. Kong Tet Yin left for China, Mr. Leong Cho Shin filled his place for about a year. The Christians here are all very glad that Mr. Leong Cho Shin is an elder, because he is very kind to them. He takes great pains to give comfort to the troubled. Ho is a man of his word, and is first in anything to help the Church; when the Church needs money, he is the first and best giver. Through Mr Leong Cho Shin the Christians here are firm in their bcicf. I think if all of our churches had good elders, they would rise and have vast followers of ChrisC. S. B. tianity. OBITUARY. Henry Martyn Whitney. On the morning of August 17th, suddenly passed away from amongst us an aged and honored friend whose face and form, still little changed, had been familiar for nearly 55 years on the streets of Honolulu. Henry M. Whitney was the t~\\ t 1f * \ r nr-f • I\1 CW hi it t ll 1 t x (\? til I * (*"ir"lii*^t �13 THE FRIEND born white children in Hawaii. His father was the Rev. Samuel Whitney, one of the pioneer band of missionaries of 1820, whose home was at Waimea, Kauai. Henry was the third child, born June 5, 1824. With his brother Samuel, two years older, he was sent at the age of five, to make his home in Rochester, N. V., with a relative ofMrs. Whitney. There the two lads became fitted for college, Samuel graduating in the Amherst class of '43, and afterwards entering the Baptist ministry. He has recently deceased. Henry at the age of 18, found it inexpedient to enter college on account of deafness, and after receiving some business training, learned the trade of a printer. He was for some years in employment in New York City. While acting as a foreman in the printing house of 1 larper and Bros., in 1849, he received an appointment from Honolulu, to take charge of the printing office of the Hawaiian Government Promptly setting out via Panama and San Francisco, he arrived in Honolulu in September, 1849. Mrs. Whitney, married to him the day before he sailed, followed him to Honolulu around Cape 1lorn. During the greater part of the subsequent 55 years, Mr. Whitney has been prominent as a printer and editor, besides being for more than twenty years a member of the Royal Privy Council of State. His character made him prominent in the business community. For many years he was the only bookseller of the town, and some of our prominent business men received their early training under him. On July 2, 1856, Mr. Whitney issued the first number of the Pacific Commer-cial Advertiser, which continues to be the leading newspaper of Honolulu. Its character was always high during his editorship, both politically and morally. Mr. Whitney was for thirty-eight years a faithful member of the Bethel Church, and a consistent Christian, although debarred by deafness from prominence in religious exercises. His influence was always strong and positive for whatever was high and pure in morals and religion. Mr.""Whitney for many years held the office of Postmaster General at different periods. He designed and issued the earliest Hawaiian postage stamps, some of the rare specimens of which now command fabulous prices. Personally he was an attractive and lovable man, of somewhat impressive appearance, and retaining to the last of his eighty years his erectness and a good degree of his animation and activity. It was the writer's privilege to meet him on the street two days before his sudden death. He seemed full of cheer, although expecting, as he said, soon to become totally blind, an afflicton from which he has been happily and painlessly taken ticket." away into the light of Heaven.

"There was a man in our town, Who was so wondrous wise, He * * * scratched—etc." There's wisdom in scratchng, even if the authority of the above seems doubtful. We believe there is much political sagacity in scratching especially in local affairs. Yes, Mr. Editor of the Advertiser, we are with you in your contention that only good men should get good votes here. In this little Territory, where other "isms" "Republicanism" and haven't begun to mean anything much, it is our opportunity to make them mean something by the standards we set up. If the Republican party persists in putting forward itspiebald ticket with a lot of stuff worse than merely useless on it, because forsooth, it can be elected, let the party suffer till it learns political wisdom. Of course it won't appear to suffer while this pitiful quackery of "party loyalty" dominates otherwise intelligent men. So long it may continue to elect its candidates,—and the Territory will do the suffering. What the Republican party wants is sufficient of a sharp lesson to make it clear that there are enough clean and capable men in this Territory to require that sort of men on the tickets. Then, if there is all that difference between a goodRepublican and a good Democrat that some claim there is, there will be the likelihood of a first-rate alternative, if one wants to vote either ticket • What security have the tax- payers for that? He will have to make it worth their while. What are your exthieves and gamblers in politics for? But, with all respect to the Governor, we don't want men he can manage. We want the kind of men who can not be managed by him or any one else. Perhaps we are not quite ready to have our legislative body a mere arm of the executive, good as it is. Now we contend that a good deal of this "loyalty to party" talk is vicious. There has been too much already of such as this, —"you won't get any attention to your pleas for good roads till you come into our party camp." "If you arc to expect anything of the administration, you must work for a set of men pleasing to that administration." What plan could be better adapted to the raising up of a host of sycophant voters? Isn't the fruit already evident in the Hawaiian vote? "I'm a Republican, lend me a dollar,"—haven't you heard it? There is no way of teaching the Hawaiian the ethics of voting like the "turning" down of worthless candidates. Now he is urged to vote the straight ticket, good or bad. No, no; teach him to be wise and scratch. Scratch out poor trash, without regard to color. * * * * "And when he found his eyes were out ***** lie jumped and scratched them in again." Ayc.that'sthe only cxcusefor scratching these sorts of fellows in on any ticket again, viz., "When our eyes arc out." Thank heaven, we see all right yet! Moral: As there is some good material on the Democratic ticket, here's our political creed: —As for me and my house, we will scratch faithfully. T.

A citizen generally finds that the "job-chaser" has preceded him at the primaries, and unless he is willing to force himself into obnoxious prominence, he hasn't any chance of affecting the situation. But his vote counts, and if the primary managers got it into their heads that there were independent voters to deal with, not a lot of puppets, labelled "My Party, Wrong or Right," there would be a different set put on the ticket. "Scratch, brothers, scratch with care." What's this? "The Governor can manage this riff-raff element on th^ primaries?" illegally drawing a public salary. "The community awaits the outcome with eager interest."—Advertiser, Sept. 28. Saloon Selections. WHAT LABOR GETS. In the manufacture and sale of liquor less money is paid for labor in proportion to the cost to the consumer, than in the manufacture and sale of any other commodity. If a laboring man buys $100 worth of boots and shoes, he buys $20.71 of labor. �THE FRIEND 14 In buying $100 worth of furniture he buys $23.77 °f labor. In every $100 worth of hardware he buys $24.17 of labor. In every $100 worth of clothing he buys $17.42 of labor. In every $100 worth of cotton goods he buys $16.91 of labor. In every $100 worth of men's furnishing goods he buys $18.34 of labor. In every $100 worth of worsted goods he buys $13.55 of labor. In every $100 worth of woolen goods he buys $12.86 of labor. In every $100 worth of liquors he buys $1.23 of labor. J f eight laboring men spend $800 for furniture, hardware, clothing, cotton, wonted and woolen goods and men's furnishing goods, they contribute $137.43 to labor, and at the same time they bring valuable supplies to their families, they stimulate business and add to the demand for labor. If the $800 is spent in the saloon only $9.84 goes for labor, the families are made wretched, and the men themselves are made worse, physically, financially and morally, their jobs are imperiled and they have wasted their money.—National Bureau of Statistics. BOTH PARTIES FRIENDLY. A careful canvass on the political situation made among representative liquor dealers shows that the trade in general was well pleased with Judge Barker's speech of acceptance. It is considered safe and conservative ami has made a good impression. There is, however, little interest, speculation or discussion manifested in the present campaign. The impression seems to prevail that Roosevelt will be elected, but if he should not be, the other man is considered equally sound and safe. Interest in this campaign seems to have died out. —From the Wine and Spirit Gazette, "universally recognized as the leading exponent in the United States of the liquor interests," Xew York, August 31, 1904. WHO ENTERED POLITICS FIRST. The liquor dealers entered politics first. The liquor dealers of the State of Xew York, at their convention in Syracuse in 1855 covenanted together as follows: "Rksoi.vko, That all liquor dealers, importers, and jobbers, grocery keepers, saloon and hotel keepers, brnvers, hopgrowers, bottlers of cider, manufactur- crs, and all others in any 'way connected with or interested in the liquor business, do hereby pledge themselves upon their li7'CS, property and sacred honor. THAT THEY WILL SUPPORT NO MAN FOR ANY 118 WILL OFFICE WHATEVER UNLESS SOLEMNLY AGREE TO SUSTAIN THEIR IN- . TEREST IN EVERY I'ARTIt 11.AX." The same course was promptly adopted by all liquor dealers throughout the nation.—New Voice. INFORMATION WANTED. Dr. P, S.

Strolling thoughtfully along one day, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a very active camp - meeting of negroes. Two or three ministers present recognized him. introduced him to others, and soon the Bishop found himself so popular that he was fairly dragged to the speakers' platform and asked to say something to the assemblage, lie consented; and one of the blacks stepped forward to introduce the unexpected visitor. This master of ceremonies went right to the point. He bade the gathering know that they were all of one pur]>osc and spirit, notwithstanding the difference in complexion, and wound up as follows: "Now, brethren and sisters, Brother Vincent, as yo' can see for yo'selves, is white of face; but at heart, let me tell yo'—at heart, I say!—he is as black as any of us."

We believe in the existence of sturdy knees that have not bowed to Baal, but we would rejoice at the presence of a genuine Elijah. Some one needs to meet Baal's priests with something more positive than unbending knees. No argument based on expediency will do in such a conflict. Nothing but old-fashioned righteousness based on the fiat of God will turn down altars and defeat Jezebels. What would you say, O Elijah, to us here in Honolulu, Have you no rebuke fnr our growing indifference to the drink Moloch? Do we not fairly worship him as a revenue producer, where we do not tolerate him as a necessary God to the masses whose children he eats.' Would you care, O Elizah, that the altar of Jehovah is being undermined, deserted by the desecration of a day which was called "Christian Sabbath" before it was known as the "American Sunday?" Would you back up the movement for Sunday baseball, oh Tishbite. or golf, or yachting?

By a prearranged code word, Dr. Scudder was notified at Dcs Moines, la., by cablegram from Honolulu on the 14th, that the Hawaiian Board had voted, that if Ik- could secure aid for the work of the evangelization of the Japanese on Hawaii, to an amount sufficient for the passage- money and a of four Japanese evangelists, he should announce the fact by cable. Then the men should be engaged in Japan and sent hither as early as possible. A cablegram was received from Dr. Scudder at Dcs Moines, on the morning of the 19th, reading, "four." By the S. S. Mongolia, that afternoon, word was sent to the agent of the Hawaiian Board in Japan to send four year's support more evangelists for Hawaii. We hope soon to see these four men and their partners located on as ny ny of our plantations, ministering to their needy countrymen. KOEPISCOPOS.

Concerning the departed but little is necessary. If we rightly understand the issue between him and the Governor only the Governor gets our approval ami the town our congratulations. As to tindisease which removed Mr. Brown it is one to which we are all liable. One name for .it is "expediency," the old deadly shuffle as to how much of a man's duty he need try to do,—the compromise with that part of it which looks :\. though he could do without great effort.

Albert S. Baker, M. U., to the post of missionary to Kona, vacant for so many years. Dr. Baker is the first appointee under the combined auspices of the Congregational Home Missionary Society and the Hawaiian Board. He is the pioneer of a new order of Christian enterprise in these Islands. Dr. Baker was born in South Dennis, Mass., nearly 33 years ago. Sprung from a sturdy line of Cape Cod Vikings, with him the love of the sea is an inherited passion. He grew up in a Christian home whose doors ever swung open in hospitable welcome to ministers and missionaries, and the wonderful story of the winning of the Pacific Islands to Christ, supplemented by personal investment in the Morning Star, fired him early with the ambition to carry thither the Banner of the Cross himself. As years came the tidings of completed work in these regions seemed to shut the door, but strangely enough no sooner was his preparation ended than a summons reached him from Hawaii, the promised land of his early visions. Dr. Baker has had a rare training for the field he is to occupy. His more formal educational course has comprised the laying of the usual public school foundation in his native town, high school work in Gloucester, four years at Amherst with degree of A. B. cum laudc in 1894, four years more in Harvard Medical School from 1895--1899, suggested to him by the famous Pacific Island missionary, Dr. Paton, and culminating in a second cum laudc degree (M. D.), Amherst granting him his M. A. for special research meanwhile, and finally after another interval two years at Boston University, md one at Vale Divinity giving him his bachelor degree in theology last summer. The intervals, noted above, supplemented scholastic labors with the training of extended travel. During 1894 ,nd 1895 Dr. Baker visited Europe, lingering long in Italy and Greece, where he penetrated far into the interior, he journeyed through Egypt as far as the first cataract and took an extensive horseback trip in Palestine. His missionary interest carried him to a number of the more famous stations in these eastern regions. Later on, after completing his medical studies, overwork demanded first a year,of rest and next a second year of travel through nearly all of the United States. Three months were spent as a cowboy in Colorado, hunting, fishing and cow-punching. Practical. Christian work has never been lost sight of amid all this varied �5 THE FRIEND experience. Beginning at once to do his part in the service of his Church when as a boy of twelve he joined the Army of the Cross, he soon became a leader in one of the earliest C. E. societies, threw himself heartily into Y. M. C. A. work later on in Gloucester, served as C. E. president in the Amherst Village Church, and subsequently in Boston Union Church, also as member of the standing committee and for four years Sunday School Superintendent of the latter. "The best superintendent we ever had," is his pastor's testimony. He was ordained during the past summer. Dr. Baker, although unmarried, does not come alone. His mother, Mrs. Ruth B. Baker, who has all along been his constant companion, will make her home and work with him in Kona. Mrs. Baker is herself a well-known leader in Christian enterprise in Massachusetts, first as President of the Cape Cod Branch of the Woman's Board, next as President of the Amherst Auxilary of the same society and County President of the W. C T. U., then State Secretary of the latter organization and for three years Pastor's Assistant in Union Church, Boston. Dr. Baker and his mother reached Honolulu on the Aorangi, October 22, and went on to Kona the 25th. They will make their home with Miss Ella 11. Paris for a short time and then take a house in the neighborhood of the church at Kealakekua. The old Union Church will be at once revived and work will be carried on among all nationalities with vigor. As friend and adviser of the Hawaiian pastors, as a minister of healing to the sick, pushing new enterprises to win the young to Christian practice and train the churches to larger life and richer service, these experienced leaders will find abundant opportunity for the exercise of all their rare gifts. We welcome them to Hawaii and to the fellowship of our common missionary heritage. We pledge them our love and prayers. We wish them large success and the D. S. choicest blessings of God. DILATORY JUSTICE IS INJUSTICE. We are told that eight murderers lie in Oahu prison still untried. One of these is Jones, who, perhaps two years ago, cruelly shot down his wife and her mother. For the first crime he was acquitted on the ground of insanity of which he had never been suspected. For the elder woman's murder he still awaits trial. Now we have two shocking murders in quick succession. One is that of a prominent and beloved young citizen stabbed by a Porto Rican felon, who was convicted of murder in nine days after the crime, and in six days sentenced to death. This was prompt and satisfactory justice. The second is that of a young Hawaiian of education and prominent family, who without serious cause alleged, put five rapid shots into his cultivated young wife, in his own mother's presence. And now his counsel protests against the 'indecent haste" with which he is arraigned in court! It can scarcely be doubted that he was encouraged to his crime by the acquittal of the murderer Jones, and will be defended on the like plea of insanity. Failure of justice has bred fresh outrage. It is especially noticeable that on the arrest of the Porto Rican Miranda, immediate lynching was seriously threatened by an exasperated crowd. This is probably the first instance in Hawaii of the manifestation of inclination for irregular justice, and it was happily evaded by the police. It is here mentioned because it exhibits the natural effect upon the community of the shameful failure of justice in previous cases of murder. The infliction of wrong of any kind arouses in the mind a strong demand for redress. But when the sufferer is wronged unto death, and can seek no redress, but lies silent and helpless in his blood, the cry for his avengenient rises loud and high in the souls of his fellow men. God also hears that cry; it mounts Up to His ear. "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground," was Cod's terrible arraignment of Cain. The human heart cannot stifle that bitter cry, nor rest content, unless due vengeance is taken,upon the murderer. HenCe the inevitable inpulse to lynching, when the organized tribunals fail or are dilatory in executing justice upon homicides. Such lawless justice is itself a mischievous evil and must be repressed. Yet it originates in the righteous wrath of men's souls against cruel unredressed crime. It is therefore the solemn duty of the courts swiftly and sternly to execute justice upon the murderers, and not to leave their helpless victims unavenged. They cannot voice their own wrongsA and every dictate of duty and honor calls upon our courts to expedite justice in their behalf. The cry for such justice is deep and poignant. Nothing can be more shameful or dishonorabfe than the common practice of our American courts in countenancing quibbling and technical pleadings to prolong murder trials and defeat justice while the helpless victim's blood is crying to them from the ground. A solemn dread of doing fresh wrong to that victim should possess the souls of judges and jurors in the presence of such extreme crimes. Their ears should keep open to the bitter cry of the blood. A sacred duty lies upon them, and the men who tamper with that duty, and seek to prevent justice to the slain, cam the abhorrence of their fellow men. Let our courts sternly and vigorously hasten to execute justice upon murderers, so that indignant communities be not provoked unwisely to take justice into their own lawless hands. S. E. B. RELIGIOUS INTENTIONS OF RUSSIA. It is well known that the Greek Orthodox Church which rules in Russia, is characterized by an extreme bigotry and an intolerance of other Christian forms of worship fully equalling that of Rome three centuries ago. In connection with the present war, it is of importance for us to understand prevalent Russian sentiment respecting t'ne enforcement of religious belief among populations subjected by conquest. Some light may be obtained from the expressions in leading Russian Church papers, although the actual performance of the Russian Government would probably not proceed to such extremes. We quote the following from translations given in the Literary Digest of Sept. 10. The Stvannik (St. Petersburg) says: "The opposition to the retention of Manchuria proceeds from a misunderstanding of the mission which God has ordained for Russia. Our country is providentially' called to extend and maintain jthe Orthodox faith in the whole world. Left to themselves, the Chinese would not experience the need of receiving Christianty, and they would remain forever in the darkness of idolatry. Hence the divine law forbids Russia to return Manchuria to the Chinese." In regard to Korea, the same writer says: "The conquest of Korea by the Japan*ese would make it im]X)ssible for that country to become acquainted with the light of the gospel. In the name of her historical mission, therefore, Russia cannot allow any other state, even though it be a Christian state, but not Orthodox, to possess itself of Korea, but must extend her protectorate over it." The Viera i Tserkov, quoting the opinions of the most eminent representatives of the Russian clergy, declares that Russia will fulfil on earth the predictions of the prophets—she will establish the king- * * * �6 dom of God; and the time has come to commence this great work. It appears that the Russian Church papers "are doing their utmost to persuade the masses of the people that Russia, in seizing Manchuria, is fulfilling the decrees of providence; that the present war is a holy war, a crusade for the Christian ideal and for Christ; and that Japan is Antichrist." We do not apprehend that Russian statesmen would consider it practicabL to enforce the adoption of their religion by Oriental populations. But there seems the strongest reason to expect that they would strictly exclude from all regions coming under Russian sway, as they now do, the propagation of any other faith than that of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is certain that all Protestant as well as Roman Catholic missionaries, will he strictly excluded from Manchuria and Korea, whenever the Russians come into permanent possession. Japan, therefore, in the present war, occupies the position of champion of Religious Freedom as opposed to Russia, the champion of Intolerance. The war in the Orient is not only against the crushing sway of Russian Despotism; it is also against the remorseless blighting of Russian Church Bigotry. S. E. B. A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. We are glad to repriit from The Pacific the following personal testimony of the Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Oakland, Cal.: That was touching news indeed which the elect missionary lady brought home to Three Oaks, that the great-hearted Samuel T. Alexander lies under the sands of Africa, until the morning of the resurrection. I am not sure that I can write of it, but my heart seeks some vent for genuine feeling. Others will speak and write of him in detail, and show what his life was in all its wide interests. I can but touch my pencil with a tear and tell what this generous Christian was to me, one of the least and latest of his countless friends- I could have wished to come to California earlier to make mid-life friendship with such a merchant man, fisher, hunter, friend. Good Pacific, let me tell others how good he was. Other men who don't make speeches, or shine at conventions, or get their name in the papers, may take heart that human love, gentleness, and generosity are better than silver, or assertion, or conspicousness. Surely his paster can speak of him now without the interdict of his modest parishioner, as he loves to speak of the sainted THE FRIEND Phillips Brooks. What a memorial service that will be when many try to tell in the prayer-meeting what this good man wsfs to them in the bereaved yet blessed church! Let me tell one thing of him. No man has done so much in California to aid my passion for helping struggling churches of Jesus Christ. Many Minneapolitans put leaven in my hands to lift the prairie churches out here. I have been only a humble corporal where General McLean has held the field. Good general he! A friendly introduction brought me generous consideration, and has been the largest ingredient in such crumbs of comfort as I could extend with sympathy to pastors of struggling churches. I once shied a hasty letter to him as he was getting ready to go abroad, nor was I surprised that no prompt answer came. Yet just before his good ship reached Oueenstown, he penned a letter which let me tell the waiting church and pastor his check would surely come to bind their generous pledges. Once when he could not give, he gave such a good reason why, not in cold, curt typewriting, but with personal, pleasant autograph. None will better appreciate this sincere tribute of praise than the generous friends who help a retired old parson do little bits of good until he shall go where this great heart has gone. Your sunny philanthropist isn't under Victoria sods. He's joined the brilliant coterie in the skies, where they tell of the redemption of the Pacific islanders. We do not dream of them as catching sharks, hunting elk, or bagging .African lions; but they have welcomed this happy, helpful, heroic heart who went to Africa as devotedly and bravely as ever Livingstone or Stanley did. It is a richer land for many of us, because his dust sanctifies it. NAURU OR PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION. Interesting letters of date September 7 and 8 were received from Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte on the 19th of Oc tober, from which we make extracts. Under date of Sept. 8 Mr. Delaporte writes: I have never been so much pressed for time as I am just now. I am in the midst of getting our new school book, containing geography, dictionary and other matter, through the "press," and hope to have it ready by the ist of October, when I shall begin to rush our catechism through before the new year. The latter book is not only revised, but over ioo pages are the remaining pages I shall type soon. I expect to get the material for this book from Sydney, October 17th. 1 have applied at Kusaie to have our 300 page Bible Stories printed there, and trust to receive a reply next Friday- Should the friends there beunable to print from my typewritten MSS. without my presence, I shall have to mimeograph this book also. Thus my people will have three valuable new books in their hands early next year. This entails much expense and labor. After that I shall be free to complete the New Testament. As far as the Master's work is concerned, we can give a good report. We have been blessed very much during the past few months. Peace and good will predominate among the people. Our chiefs are becoming more and more enlightened and exert a good, healthy Christian influence over their people. Our schools are at present attended by the smaller children, as the young people are engaged by the government to make roads and build houses. I believe that a certain amount of work does them good. ()ur native teachers are faithful and do well. I believe that our Bible Catechism will do much towards promoting a thorough knowledge of what it means to be a Christian among those who are not able to attend school regularly. Our people are hungry for books and I shall try to satisfy their desire. We have noticed lately that the people are more attentive than formerly during our Sabbath services, especially during the sermon. Late in July, the Governor arrived from Jahut on the schooner Triton, and spent ten days on this island. We enjoyed his visit very much. On August 7th, Messrs. Ellis and Swanton, two earnest Christian gentlemen, and a German surveyor and several others came over from Banana (Ocean Island) on the S. S. Windsor. They stayed with us for three days, which was indeed a treat. The island is now being surveyed and arrangements are being made to begin operations for the shipping of phosphates within twelve months. A large wharf and railroad are among the proposed improvements on our hitherto forgotten island. About 1000 laborers will be brought here from Ruk and the Mortlock Islands. The company will do all they can to help our Mission work. They have just now put up, free of charge, a large wooden church building for the natives of Banaba. Will it surprise you to hear that Mrs. Delaporte and two of the children will sail into Honolulu about the end �THE FRIEND of October? Messrs. Arundel, Ellis and Swanton, the owenrs, or charterers, of many steamers, have kindly consented to take them on the S. S. Inger, which is to take a cargo of phosphate to the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company, Honolulu, from Banaba to Honolulu direct. She will leave here about September 25th for Banaba, to stay until the steamer is loaded, with Mr. and Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Delaporte has now been away from Germany seven years and has spent most of this in the tropics, time and has now been strongly advised to seek a cooler climate for a This is an opportunity which will perhaps not offer itself again for years, to get to Honolulu in such a direct and quick way. As Honolulu will not be a great change of climate, I will have to leave it to the friends there to decide if the means can be raised to send her for a few months to her home and parents in Germany. If this change will prove beneficial to her health, we shall then be able to spend another number of years here to do our dear Master's work.

In spite of the unsettling events above mentioned, business throughout the community seems to be improving. The present season has been a very good one for the sugar growers, and the dividends paid by the large plantations have been larger and more numerous than for some time past; as usual, this has had a marked effect upon all lines of business. The stock market, which has for months been more a name than anything else, now reports daily sales of stock amounting to several (). 11.

Sugar, which many prophesied would never again see four cents a pound, has proved itself recklessly careless of the reputation of the cents.

We are 2000 miles nearer the Orient than is the mainland, and there seems no reason why, when once we are prepared to supply those markets, we should not take their trade. Great improvements are being made in the Honolulu water system. That that system was far from adequate and that it fell far short of meeting Honolulu's increasing demands has been apparent for several years. The loan bill of the last Legislature covered a complete new system, which at writing, has practically been completed. It grants water facilities to many who have been without the zone of Government service and secures to many localities which were in hourly danger from fires, with no means of extinguishing the same, that protection which only a sufficient and ever-ready supply of water can grant. Much work has been done by the Courts during the last month, hut the cases on the civil side have been, without exception, matters of private rather than public importance. Many of the cases in the criminal division, however, have aroused great and general interest, and none more than that of Jose Miranda, the man by whose murderous hand fell Mr. S. E. Damon, the universally respected and admired son of Hon. S. M. Damon. Before this paper goes to press the murderer will, with his life, have paid the penalty for this, the most brutal deed in all our criminal history. The Supreme Court has affirmed the B. 11. Wright, and he has begun his long three years of penal servitude for his defalcations while in the Government employ. Edward S. Boyd, the former head of the Public Lands Office, has likewise been found guilty of embezzling large sums of money in his department, hut his case has gone up to the Supreme Court for further adjudication. The course of justice is run slowly amongst us, but the results seem to indicate that the guilty party is fully as likely to receive his dues in Hawaii as in any other part of the civilized world. sentence of MISSION COUSINS PASSING AWAY. MEMORIAL MEETING FOR THOSE LATELY It is only should now the children flourished in DEPARTED. a natural thing that there be much mortality among of the missionaries who Hawaii from fifty to eighty years ago. A majority of those children are aging. They are approaching or passing the line of three score and ten. It was during the decade of the thirties, vividly remembered by the present writer, that there was here the largest number of young missionary families. A large number of children were born during that decade. Those little ones crowded the young children's school of Marcia Smith at General Meeting times, in 1838-9. Of those there linger among us many aged people, and some still in active life. But among them is an increasing mortality, and soon they will mostly have departed. They leave behind them a great company of their children in active life, here and on the Mainland. And there are large numbers of their grandchildren entering active life. This is not cause for sorrow. It is good for the aged to depart, after filling out lives of service. They pass on to a bright Beyond, where One prepares for them "a Place," who is "the Resurrection and the Life." They are ready soon to move forward. And yet there is a tender pathos about it all, as we watch them one after another sinking clown in their places. A special meeting was held on the evening of Sept. 26, in the auditorium of the Preparatory School at Oalnt College, in memory of several deaths which have occurred among the Cousins since their last meeting on April 30th, An account of the exercises at that meeting is here condensed from the full and careful report which appeared in the P.

Her favorite verse was "Therefore shall ye draw water with joy out of the wells of salvation." She also paid a brief and touching tribute to Mrs. Reed, formerly Mrs. Shipman, who died before the last annual meeting but within the year. The meeting closed with the singing of "()ft in the Stilly Night." tribute to Mrs. Louise C Westervelt, in "COUSINS." "In spite of her frailty of body and suffering, her home was always a happy one. She entered with enthusiasm her husband's mission work and delighted She in the sports of young people. sympathized with those in trouble and often gave of her scant strength when she had none to spare. She repeatedly has accepted offices in ladies' societies and occupied them with ability when as it afterwards showed, her strength was not equal to the self-imposed task. But we appreciated the effort and loved her for the sweet willingness to give more than she was able. And here lies the strongest characteristic of Mrs. Westcivelt's life—the constant effacement of self that she might not mar the pleasure nor interfere with the work of those about her. She was so fearful lest her weakness and frequent attacks of illness should hinder Mr. Westervelt's usefulness that she often denied herself the pleasure of his company, and sent him unwillingly to fields of work, remaining alone to bear the attacks of mortal pain. Even in the daily agony of tlu last months of her life she greeted all her friends with a smile which was all sweetness and let none of us know the suffering she was passing through." "Lead Kindly Light" was then sung, when Mr. W. O. Smith spoke of Mrs. Sybil Augusta Carter, partly as follows: "Mrs. Carter's life is an inspiration and it is a pleasure to speak of her. I do not think of her as dead. Hers was a beautiful life, a life of faith, a sterling character. She had much to endure, but always bore herself with jjracc, dignity and kindness. These traits made her much sought after in Washington. While her husband was away and all through her varied experiences the beauty of character she showed marked her as a distinguished woman. She had sublime faith in the Tightness of things and through the most intense suffering always looked on the broader side. She will live in the memory of those who knew her as a cheering thought and in spiration, so lovable, so strong." Miss Chamberlain spoke of Mrs. Jo- The Cousins will be sorry to hear that Miss Martha Chamberlain has been laid aside from her busy life by a stroke of apoplexy. The great burden of sympathy she carried for the bereaved cousins, the sick and the sorrowing, was too heavy. On the afternoon of October 4th she presided at the meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions. She asked that every verse of the hymn, "Cod Mines in a Mysterious Way," be sung, and selected that beautiful chapter, Isaiah 40, for her remarks. She had many times, she said, when faint and sleepless, gone out into the night and looked up at the stars for help, and when she saw how "He stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and Bpreadeth them as a tent to dwell in, who calkth the stars by name by the greatness of His power," she had gone to her rest comforted, being made to know that, "The Mighty God fainteth not, neither is weary." Her voice rolled out strong and clear on the words "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord," and as she read on and on through the chapter she seemed to take into her soul all the grand promises. When she sat down, her cares, as well as all the little things of life, seemed dropping from her hand, and we almost felt that she was leaving earth behind and mounting up on eagle's wings to that home where we may run and not be weary, walk and not faint. The meeting was broken up, the doctor called, and she was taken to the Sanitarium, where she is slowly recovering. We expect to sec her with us again, but in the meantime this is her message, ringing out in her own voice: "Comfort vc, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord." Not twenty-four hours had elapsed since the close of the Memorial meeting, when another was called away. This time one of our officers, S. E. Damon, was taken. He was a young man, talented, educated, polished, fitted for a great social and business future, with part as follows: �THE FRIEND. 10 a young wife and little children about ties who had gathered to attend the City everything to make life dc Union Rally.

Reports from the various churches indicate the increasing difficulty of carrying the financial burdens which fall upon the shrinking membership. From Hanaki came tin- report of the minister's salary short during a period of over two years. The Koolau church reports just having cleared off a similar debt by means of a concert. Kapaa and I lanapcpe are similarly in arrears. In other words, four mil of the seven Hawaiian churches have during the past six months been in arrears in tin- matte-r of pastors' support. and this in spite of the fact that these churches receive substantial assistance from outside source's. The reasons for this difficulty in supporting the pastor are- twofold. First, there is more or less of a tendency to relegate the pastor's sal ary to a secondary place in the finances of the church. Special expenditures for such objects as Sunday School exhibitions anil young people's meetings, together with carriage hire and collations for the same, nice! with more popular favor than the regular minister's salary, and accordingly the treasury is drained for these purposes- at the expense of regular obligations. The world over, church and charitable obligations fail to rank with business obligations. Second, These Hawaiian country churches are unquestionably poor; poorer perhaps than they need be, because of thriftless habits, but poor nevertheless. In many of them families receiving $35 a month could he counted on one baud, and many families have no reliable income at all. Out of so meagre an income the most generous and devoted people in the world could not give largely. And in most of these country churches the shrinking constituency has dwindled down to a very small number, without a correspondingly decreasing expense, so that the burden at best must be- borne by a few. The problem of these shrinking country churches is a pressing one-, the solution of which lies in the direction of fusion with other incoming races. The Hanapepe report indicates one of the phases of the peculiar Hawaiian loint of view in ethical matters. The [elcgate reported the minister's salary as nil\ paid up: but in response to interogation frankly admitted that it wasn't actually paid up, but it was "promised."

A request has recently been made by some of the Chinese young men for an evening school for the study of English three evenings of the week at the Chinese church, this being in addition to the regular evenings Opened to them at the Settlement. The request has been granted, and at present there are nine young men in attendance and they show a marked degree of enthusiasm in their work. The Chinese of Paia have asked for the opening of a Chinese school for instruction in the Chinese language, and steps are being taken for the establishment of such a school. It is hoped by so doing that it will prove a center for Christian work among the Chinese there. Mr. Lav Hce of Hamakuapoko will be asked to take charge of the school.

A delightful feature of the Festival was the Contest of Song, in which various grades of the city schools competed for a beautiful trophy, awarded last year to Kaahumanu school. Now is the evidence of growth appearing. This year's plans are not fully matured, but it is reliably stated that Kamehameha will issue this year and make the proposal to those interested as to the character of music and other details. A cantata may be suggested as the best subject for combined effort, with an imported soloist as a contingency. Some day oratorio work will be not only possible but demanded by a pUbHc which is being slowly educated in its musical tastes as a result of the good work done in our schools.

THOMAS L. GULICK. Mombasa, British F. Africa. August 21. 1904. Dear Mrs. Gulick :— After three months absence in the interior of this great continent. Annie and I arc back again here at Mombasa. I am pleased to report that we are both in very good health and arc starting for South Africa. From Cape Town we will take a steamer to Kngland. and 1 hope to see you about the first of November next. I wrote you at length from the north extremity of Lake Baringo after receiving the overwhelming news of poor Tom's death. The first news was stunning, but, if anything, the sense of bereavement and loss has grown ujx>n mc. I can realize how lonely and sad you must feel without his kindly face and cheering presence. I feel now that I more fully appreciate Tom's worth. There is no one that will fill his place. During the rest of my brief life that remains to me, notwithstanding my family ties and friends, there will be an aching void, which nothing can fill. On the first receipt of the sad news, my first impulse was to abandon my caravan and rush off to Kijabi, but on reflection, I realized that there would be nothing gained by doing so. Tom was gone, and I could not bring him back to life again. I had gone to great expense in collecting a gang of men and provisions ; more than that, Annie was with me, and I had to consider her in the matter, so we concluded to leave out the trip to Lake Albert Nyanza, Ruwenzori, and the Toro country, and visit only Gatisen Gishu and Lake Victoria Nyanza. Well, we have had two months of wild life. We have been among wild tribes and wild animals. We have heard the lions roar by day and by night, and we have chased them and shot them, too. We have seen vast herds of giraffes and zebras. We have killed rhinos and elephants, besides specimens of most all the animals in this country. Annie will have skulls and skins by the dozen for the University of California. She has taken a great many photographs, too; several in which Tom appears will interest you. We have the skulls of three animals which Tom shot, which in due time you will receive. After leaving Entebbe, we went direct �THE FRIEND. Kijabi, and spent four days with the Hurlburts. I was amazed to find that Mr. Hurlburt had not written you the particulars of Tom's last illness. I took it for granted that he would do so. At my request he sat right down and wrote you. Annie has taken photographs of the house anil people, and of the lovelyto spot where Tom rests, which we will take to you on our return. Where Tom rests is indeed a beautiful spot, but, oh! the inexpressible sadness that came over me as I looked on his grave. I almost wished that I slept beside him. "Oh! for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." 1 was very much pleased with the Hurlburts. They are kindness itself and most devoted people. I felt at home the moment 1 came under their friendly roof. All the children, five in number, are very interesting. If love ever dwelt home, it does in that. in a with us and join in the fun. Later on his hip pave out, and I started him hack in a stretcher, hut he had not heen carried many miles before he concluded to return. If he had come hack then, I think his life might have been saved. I have heen gathering his things together. * * * His baggage I will send as freight through Anderson and Mayer to Alexander & Baldwin, 82 Wall Street, New York, who will be instructed to forward it to you. Hoping to find a letter from you at Cape Town, I remain as ever. Most sincerely yours, SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. 5 and Mr. Hurlburt was able to report his death only to his companion, Mr. S. T. Alexander, then far in the interior. Not until two months later did Mr. Alexander's arrival cause the letter to Mrs. Gulick to be written. THE DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. As published by Rev. Dr. James M. Alexander. Further particulars of the death of Mr. Samuel T. Alexander have been received in a letter written by his daughter, Annie, at Victoria Palls. On Sept. 7th, Mr. Alexander and his daughter were at Bulawayo, and thence rode to Notes from letter of Rev. Charles E. visit the grave of Cecil Rhodes at MataHurlhurt of Kijabi to Mrs. A. W. pao. The air was cool and exhilarating, Gulick, of August 16, 1904. but Mr. Alexander seemed a little deMr. Hurlbut went to the Kijabi sta- pressed, and said that he felt a foretion on June 10, to meet Mr. Gulick whom he found quite prostrated. He had consulted physicians at Nakuru and Kaivasha, all of whom agreed that he only needed rest and milk diet to be all right in two or three days. The train was run two miles near to the mission station, and Mr. Gulick was carried the remaining half mile in a hammock. He was delighted to find rest among friends, I concluded from all that I could learn, that Tom did not suffer much, except for a brief period when the inflammation set in. He was cheerful and happy, and expected to get well. His sudden breakdown and entire collapse \ do not understand. I always thought he had more vigor and vitality than I. Of the two, I thought he would last the longer. Without doubt, his bowel trouble on the way to Nairobi, must have had something to do with it. I remember that while we were at the Nakuru station, we took a walk down to the lake, some four miles distant, and Tom seemed quite exhausted by the trip. I begged him on this occasion, not to attempt the trip to Baringo unless he felt fully equa to it. I am satisfied that lie felt that he ought to give it up, but |KK>r fellow, he wanted to be felt quite comfortable, and rested well that night. On the morning of the nth he was very cheerful, and asked many Questions about the missionary work. Hut in the afternoon the bowel trouble recurred with much pain, and temperature 102 degrees. The pain was promptly relieved by hot applications. Mr. Hurlhurt at once sent a messenger to the mission doctor, who was 24 miles away. Dr. Henderson lost his wav in coming, and did not arrive till 11 .30 p. m. of Sunday, the 12th, when Mr. Gulick was quite comfortable. He seemed much improved on Monday, and took broth with relish. On the 15th, at noon, the doctor pronounced the disease absolutely under control, and that his presence was not longer needed. But about 4 p. m. the patient experienced a sudden change and fell into a rapid collapse from which all possible restoratives only slightly rallied him. He was buried on the 16th in a lovely spot under the cedars and wild olives. Besides Mr. Hurlhurt and the doctor, Messrs. Stauffacher and William Judd were present to bear the coffin. Mr. I lurlhurt addressed the whites and Dr. Henderson the natives ,and "after prayer and song, 'Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea,' we laid the body to rest." Owing to desire to keep the patient quiet, and to expectation of his speedy recovery, all statement about Mr. Gulick's own family had been postponed, boding of disaster. In the evening, they took the cars for Victoria Falls, and there arrived the following morning. In the afternoon, (Sept. Bth), they walked out to take their first view of the Falls, and Mr. Alexander again spoke of his foreliodings and carefully informed his daughter where to find his letters of credit and the tickets for their voyage on the steamer to leave Capetown for England, on Sqit. 28. The next morning, at 9:45 o'clock, they crossed by cable over the chasm of the Zambesi to obtain a better view of the Falls at the opposite shore. They observed that men were constructing a foundation for a bridge and throwing rocks and earth into the canyon but they thought nothine of it. Finding a trail leading into the ravine, called Palm Grove, they descended by it, at 12 o'clock, �THE FRIEND. 6 to view the falls from below. Mr. Alexander was much interested in comparing the Falls with Niagara. Tie thought it too divided to be grand, but very beautiful. The trail was very rocky, but Mr. Alexander skipped ahead like a boy, calling to his daughter to follow. They had just clambered over some great boulders to look up into the terminus of the waterfall, when they observed small rocks falling down the precipice, about 350 feet high, directly above them. They instantly turned and ran, the daughter ahead. Looking up she saw two men leaning over a railing watching herself and her father. When they had run about 30 yards, and seemed to be out of danger, the daughter set up her camera, while her father stood leaning against a rock six or eight feet distant observing her. Something caused her to look up, and she saw a boulder, about three feet thick, bounding toward her. It seined likely to pass by at a little distance ; but striking a rock it veered, and struck her father's foot, and she found him writhing on the ground. She called to the men above for help and ran to him. Three of them quickly arrived with bandages and cotton. Mr. Alexander said to bis daughter, "This ends my career, Annie; I am too old a man to stand an operation." The men bound up his foot, and bore him to a bamboo hut on the ridge; and there they waited for a doctor. Mr. Alexander said to his daughter, "Is this a dream, or a reality?" and again, "I am glad that it was I, and not you that was struck." When the doctor arrived, he dressed the foot, and stopped the bleeding which had been profuse. Mr. Alexander was then borne on a stretcher by six negroes, his daughter walking by his side, to the home of the doctor. He suffered much and complained of nausea. They were walking in deep sand through a dreary region of burnt brush, and to the great distress of his daughter, made slow progress. Mr. Alexander was finally carried into a neat little bamboo house on the doctor's premises, and there the amputation was performed, with administration of chloroform and with the aid The daughter of two white assistants. remained with him during the operation, and continued with him afterwards alone, while a negro errand boy was outside at the door. < )nee the doctor came and administered strychnine livpodermically; but Mr. Alexander gradualy grew weaker, and died at half past two the next morning, Sept. 10.

In this somewhat Churches, and was invited to join the informal meeting assurances were given Hawaiian Board Committee. The committee was very successful in its work. Dr. Scudder made an exceptionally good presentation of problems we have to face in our missions. His speech before the National Council was concise, convincing and inspiring .and awakened a very great general interest in I lawaii. Representatives of four societies were personally consulted in regard to assisting, the Hawaiian Board in the solution of its problems and responded very encouragingly. The first official meeting of the committee from Hawaii was with the larger part of the Prudential Committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The benefit of the "personal touch" was evident at once. The American Board practically agreed to take the Pleasant Island Mission and send supplies, make visits in the New Morning Star, and take all the responsibility for the mission. Hawaii is to furnish the funds for the support of this mission as has been done in the past. Thus a heavy burden of responsibility was taken from the Hawaiian Board.' The American Board can take care of the mission with but little addition to its present Micronesian work. The second official meeting of the commute from the Hawaiian Board was with a very full representation of the. of hearty, sympathy and a free use of financial aid according to the judgment of the Hawaiian Board. It is probable that the financial assistance given this present year by the Congregational Home Missionary Society will be increased in the future. Prayer meetings of the superintendents of this society and a joint meeting of the secretaries of the National Society and the representatives of the auxiliary societies were attended by Dr. Scudder and the writer, while l'res. Jones interested hosts of friends by his enthusiastic conversations along the street and in the lobby of the hotel. A fourth society was interested in the,island work and substantial assurances were given that literature would be granted to aid our Sunday School work in English. This was from representatives of the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society. Besides this direct work with these four societies a large amount of important work for Hawaii was done in a personal way by each individual of the committee. In Chicago and all along the way, the need of close union between the missions of Hawaii and the churches of the mainland was urged by the writer, with large assurance of a purpose to respond with fellowship and nrayer. This was true of the. National representatives of the Anti-Saloon League as well as of the Congregational Churches. 7 Dr. Scudder is lieing warmly welcomed in the churches around New York and Boston and in his clear, expressive way is doing a large work for Hawaii. It should be said in this connection, that another member of the Hawaiian Board who was east during the summer was also able to enlist the interest of large congregations in our island work. Rev. Win. M. Kincaid. while in the east to receive his degree of "Doctor of Divinity," aided very materially in preparing the way for the successful work,of the committee from the Hawaiian Board. TRUE SOURCE OF THE PACIFIC COAST CURRENT. A new theory on this subject has recently been propounded in Science of Sept 9, by Rev. Dr. S. E. Bishop, one of the editors of The Friend. Having been sole editor from 1887 to 1902, he proposes to state his theory for the benefit of his old friends, the. subscribers of this paper, although time has not yet been given for the verdict thereon of the scientific world, nor for its verification by deep-sea temperature soundings. To begin with, the source of that vast body of nearly ice-cold water occupying the northwest coast of the American continent cannot possibly be in the Kuro Siwo or Japan "Gulf Stream," of which our physical geographies usually call it the continuation. We deny that source on three grounds: I'irst, it is impossible for such a current to be continuously propagated in compact form for 4000 miles after it must have been turned to the eastward near the Aleutian Islands. The Kuro Sirvo must necessarily fan out and become dissipated in the Mid-Pacific. Secondly, if the Kuro Siwo could be thus held compactly together, it would retain its original warmth. Or even if it became somewhat chilled in northern winters, it would become well wiarmed up during its long passage down the Coast in the summer months, whereas the Coast current retains its extreme chill as far south as the latitude of 35 degrees at all seasons of the year. An alleged chilling from the contact of Alaskan glaciers in latitude 57 degrees is impossible, because those glaciers send no bergs to the open ocean. But, Thirdly, A southeasterly transmisKuro Siwo cursion of the rent along the American coast is absolutely forbidden by the influence of the rotation of the globe. A wellknown law drives to the westward all currents of air or sea which proceed from higher latitudes towards the �8 Equator. They go from a region nearer the Earth's axis to one more distant from it, hence from a region of slower eastward movement to one driving more rapidly east. By the law of inertia, they are left behind as they approach the Equator, or in other words, are driven southwest. Such is the wellknown cause of the westward movement of the Trade Winds. By the operation of the same law the Kuro Siwo current, at the moment when it became deflected southerly by the American coast, would instantly acquire a westward movement, and leave the coast for the Mid-Pacific. If it is alleged that as a matter of fact, we do find the cold current setting southeasterly along the coast, we reply that this overcoming of a fixed law of motion, is only an evidence of some mighty ocean pressure from the west shouldering the current up against the land. After passing latitude 35 degrees, this westerly pressure appears to abate, and the whole current incontinently sweeps to the southwest, until it reaches Hawaii, 2200 miles away. What then is the true source of this great Cold Current, and this mighty ocean pressure from the westward? The answer can only be found in the well-known existence of a vast body of nearly ice-cold water, at 35 degrees F., which occupies all ocean depths of the Pacific below 2000 fathoms- This deep-sea cold stratum originates at the great Antractic glacier, where the South Pacific waters are chilled and by increased specific gravity descend to the bottom. Thus generated along a frontage of 4000 miles of solid glacier, this cold stratum slowly creeps up the deep ocean bed, pushed on by fresh supplies behind. It must ultimately find a region of emergence in the North Pacific, where it will be forced up to the surface against the shores of some continent. Where must this emergence to the surface take place ? The location of this emergence will be determined by the actionj of the Earth's rotation upon this northward moving current after it passes the Equator. That action must be the reverse of that upon currents approaching the Equator which are driven westward. Our deep-sea current will be powerfully driven to the eastward as it approaches the northern bounds of the Pacific. Therefore, its point of emergence must necessarily be along the Northwestern Coast of America. And there we actually find it, as an enormous body of extremely cold water occupying that coast from 55 degrees to 33 degrees north latitude. THE FRIEND. Such, we feel assured, is the true source of the Pacific Coast Current. Generated by the Antarctic glacier, and slumbering long in the sluggish womb of the Pacific depths, it is stung to life by the Earth's eastward rotation, and springs to birth as a vast fountain along the Pacific Coast, where it attempers sweetly the climates of great imperial States, finally moderating the otherwise torrid heats of Hawaii. S. E. B. LET AMERICA STAND WELL ARMED. This docs not mean that America should present a pugnacious attitude, or should show a disposition to attack other nations. It means that these are "troublous times," when war and national wrath pervade the atmosphere; and therefore it behooves America to stand fully armed, especially as to her naval force, so that no unscrupulous or angry belligerent may lightly trifle with her rights or assail her security. Such full armament makes for peace; because it, imposes caution upon possible enemies. There seems great reason for apprehension that the trend of present international politics is most seriously endangering the peace of all the great powers, including America, drawing them into the tremendous conflict already existing. America's liability comes not only from her immense and fast-growing commerce With the ()rient, but from her great trans-Atlantic commerce, which in case of, Great Britain being drawn into the war, is threatened with interference from Russia's construction of foodstuffs as contraband. In case of such construction being made, America will need to be in a position to speak positively and sternly. The writer has been deeply impressed by a recent article in the Contemporary Review, entitled, "Absolute Monarchs versus Free Peoples." This article very clearly |M>ints out the dangerous attitude of the German Emperor, who is deliberately allying himself with the Czar of Russia in a systematic attempt to enforce the principle of autocracy in Europe in subversion of liberal and constitutional government. It is a "Twentieth Century Reaction" against the development of national, liberty. While Germany is a highly cultivated and a generous nation, it has unhappily become in a great degr.-e subjugated to the excessive militarism of the Kaiser. That potentate has hecome enamored of Autocracy and is to the utmost playing into the hands of the Czar to help suppress liberty both in Russia and in the Balkan states. The liberties of Sweden and, Denmark are most seriously endangered, as well as that of Holland. England cannot long keep out of th« conflict, while the present attitude of France is uncertain, if even not pledged to Russia. In view of this reactionary and militant attitude of Germany; in view also of her obvious jntentinn to gain a controlling occupancy of Central China; in view of her clearly existing alliance with Russia for those ends ; and in view of the necessary antagonism of England,thereto, and her great liability to be drawn into the existing war as antagonist to Germany; it becomes evident that America, with her immense,interests in both Atlantic and Pacific commerce, will be in the most serious danger of being entangled in that terrific conflict And this would be the case, even if .America could stand idly by and permit England as the champion of liberal government to be overwhelmed by superior force. It therefore looks as if.it would be the height of unreason at such a juncture fur America to be sluggish in perfecting armament, on .which her chief dependence must be placed. Peace is a good thing to have, but beware of crying "Peace, peace, when there is no peace," but great national pirates are abroad, ravaging the world. It were well to hasten the armament of this great stategic .outpost of Hawaii in this mid-Pacific, before the storm of war breaks. It may help to avert war. S. E. P.. KUATLNHRPODKGUMA AKENA. The Kula road on Maui, like the upper Kona road on Hawaii, runs through a region which invites the homesteader. The soil is fertile, the climate bracing and fine and the view unsurpassed. Elevated, as it is, about two thousand feet on the lowest slopes of llaleakala, nearly the entire interior plain of Maui, the great sugar belt of the island, is spread out before the eye—beyond rises the western mountain range. At one end of the Kula road is Makawao, moist and windy; at the other Clupalakua, where the air is so still that the chirp of the cricket can be heard; both are regions of rare beauty. Between them the homesteads string along on the upper side of the road, occasion- ally reaching up the shoulders of the giant mountain. At Ulupalakua one is struck with the park-like aspect of the country. A line of rounding volcanic hills, which make down from the great crater of llaleakala towards the shore, gives distinction to the place. The summits which are back of Dr. Raymond's residence arc treecrowned and haunt you with their stately beauty. Between them are open pasture lands whose slopes rise and fall in �THE FRIEND. pleasing curves. The house itself, where a generous hospitality is dispensed, is embowered in foliage. Tall evergreens mark the spot from afar. Here the pride of India and the eucalyptus have become self-propagating. The lantana is in evidence everywhere on the lower side of the road. In places the black blight is killing it, but the slaughter is not yet great. In striking contrast to the stately beauty of Clunalakua is the forbidding aspect of Makena, its nearest steamer landing. Passing from one to the other you go out of a region of coolness and turf to one of heat and rocks. Such as it is, nothwithstanding, it is the chosen dwelling place of a group of Hawaiian*. They still show where PSkancle, the former chief of the region, had his house on a pile of rocks that juts out into the bay and forms a miniature promontory. I found the congregation at Makena mostly made Up of the children and grand-children of Mrs. Kamakakukaliiko. I baptised seventeen of them and received five into the church, one of another household also joining. We had one wedding. One of the granddaughters was married to one of the best Chinamen of the place. The mothers of these children were the ones who had attended to their religious education. The fathers were mostly away. Some had deserted their families. ( me mother in joining the church said, "I consecrate myself for the sake of my children. Though for years without a settled pastor, they had with the aid of two good deacons, kept up some kind of religious service. Mr. D. U. Opunui, who has lately become their pastor, is a graduate of Lahainaluna. Without training in a theological school he has long wanted to preach. In all his work he is ably seconded by his wife. Wherever he is found she is found, out of the parish as well as in it, and together they have accomplished much. much impressed at Makena by ling that there is no one within a long 's journey who can issue a marriage ■use or perform a marriage ceremony, is works badly for the morals of the iimunity. I have good reason to be■e that this lack will soon be met. After five hours work at Makena we took the road to Kanaio, a settlement still more remote, eight miles further on. The road ascends twenty-five hundred feet and then descends towards the shore. As usual Mrs. ()punui took the lead. About half past four in the afternoon we came upon the group of people gathered about Kanaio church. They had been waiting two hours for us,but they had had their Sunday-school and were in good spirits. In this distant place ten were iwas received into church fellowship and three infants baptized, making in all that day sixteen received into the church and Those received at twenty baptized. Kanaio were all members of the local Society of Christian Endeavor. At this meeting I noted only one old person, and he was led up to us and introduced as the long-time deacon of the place. Judge George Kunukau is the other deacon and active man of the church. The memory of this day's service will long remain with me. The comfort of finding a community of young people so interested in the Simdav-school, the Society of Christian Endeavor and the church, was great, and hard as the trip is, I shall take it again and go with gladness. I was reminded by the experience of the day of the remark of a fellowstudent in Andover Theological Seminary. ()n returning from a New England parish after a particularly bard Sunday's experience as a church supply, he said: "I shall never settle in these parts, the people are too gospel-hardened. I shall go to a region where a minister is a variety." Oliver P. Emerson. HONOLULU MINISTERIAL UNION. At the meeting held Nov. 7th fifteen were present. Reports from the field brought out some interesting items. Mr. Hopwood spoke of the active interest in C. I'-. Society at Kaniehameha, and the need of a church organization there. Mr. Gulick told of the progress of the Pleasant Island Mission. Mr. Brown and Mr. Turner spoke of their work and the need of more consecration and spiritual Handedness. Mr. Westervelt drew attention to the great encroachments of the liquor business. The main feature of the morning's meeting was the interesting vacation ex- periences related by Dr. Bingham and Mr. Westervelt, who have just returned from a stay in the Cnited States. A welcome was extended Mr. Percy L. Home, who met with us for the first time. At the meeting held on Nov. 21st an interesting feature was reports on new liooks read by the members. Dr. Bishop gave some very thoughtful remarks on a book, "New Light on the Psalms." The report of the program committee was received and Mr. Thwing asked to see to the printing. The paper of the morning, "Graded Bible Schools," was read by Rev. E. B. Turner. A committee was appointed to consider the matter of the Sunday question and report for consideration at the next meeting. 9 REV. JAMES KEKELA. This veteran missionary, and most remarkable I law aiian, passed away at his home in I lonolulu on the 2(>th of November, after but a week's illness, at the ripe age of 8_» years. Born at Mokuleia, in Waialua, of humble parentage, after acquiring the rudiments of education at the very primitive public school of that early time, and being selected as a promising candidate, the plain looking country boy was sent to the mission high school or college of Lahainaluna. Here he acquired what that center of light had to give; some knowledge of life, of the world in which we live, and of the divine revelation made in the Sacred Scriptures. And more than all else, he acquired a firm faith in a personal Savior and Redeemer. After graduation, through the influence of that most progressive missionary. Rev. J. S. Emerson, the body of Christian llawaiians, whose center was at Hauula, Kootau, was organized into a church, and extended a call to Mr. Kckela to become their pastor. About the year 1851, or 1852, Mr. Kekela was ordained and settled as pastor of the I lauula church, the first one of his people to be ordained to the gospel ministry. His pastorate was perhaps of two or three years continuance, or until he was called to the foreign missionary work. In March, 1853, a Marquesian chief named Matunui landed at Lahaina from a whale ship and presented a (ilea that a missionary should be sent to his islands, that the same blessings might come to his country as had been given by the gospel to I lavvaii. Rev. J. D. Paris of Kealakakua, Hawaii, is credited by Mr. Kekela, with the first suggestion that the Hawaiian churches should unite to support a mission to the Marquesas Islands, sending out missionaries from among their own brethren. In this we see the first movement which in later years has been carried on by the Hawaiian Board. A wave of enthusiasm for this missionary work swept over the Hawaiian churches, the effect of which is still felt by the older pastors of these Islands. Rev. James Kekela and Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha, with two laymen, in all four men, with their wives, went forth with great joy, in the autumn of 1853, followed by the prayers and contributions of thousands of their countrymen to face untold dangers and to begin missionary labors, among one of the most murderous of all the cannibal tribes of the human race. Mr. Kekela at the time of his location as pastor of the eastern portion of Father Emerson's mission field, won and married Naomi, one of the earliest and best of the graduates of the Wailuku Girls' Boarding School, founded and �THE FRIEND. 10 conducted by Father and Mother Bailey, and Miss Ogden, of blessed memory. When the call came to this brave couple to face the dangers of life among the Marquesians, the most trying question was, what to do with their little baby girl of two or three years of age. The problem was solved by the offer of Miss Ogden to adopt the precious child of her beloved scholar Naomi. The trust was fully repaid, the child Maria Ogden Kekela, grew up under tne maternal love of one of the most unselfish of missionary women, into an honorable and lovely womanhood, in time becoming the mother of several of the valued women of Southern Hawaii. She sleeps today beside her father and mother in the Kawaiahao graveyard. After a residence of several years upon the valleys of Hivaoa, Marquesas, the islands were visited by pirate vessels seeking to procure slaves to work in South American mines. The natives decoyed on board were seized and carried off into hopeless bondage. A chieftain of the valley lost a beloved son in this way, and vowed vengeance upon the first white man he might meet. The mate of a ship landed with a boat's crew to procure fresh provisons; the enraged chief pounced upon this officer.

A more remarkable couple of consecrated Chris- fe EWS HM crew fled, returning to their ship leaving their leader a prisoner. Preparations were promptly made to kill, bake and eat, this unfortunate and unoffending man. The Missionary Kekela hearing of .the matter, hastened to the spot. Entreaty, and the evident innocency of the white man were of no avail. The offer by Mr. Kekela of his new whale boat, which was to facilitate missionary touring, proved effectual in procuring the release of the grateful white man. In recognition of this philanthropic life-saving act Abraham Lincoln, then President of the United States, sent to Mr. Kekela a gold watch which he wore and treasured to the last. Of the fruits of the labors of himself and associates, may be mentioned the decrease of wars and of cannibalism which evils were fully stopped upon the advent of French power.

MELAIKSHTON By Mary S. Whitney. The last place, and in many respects the most interesting at which we stopped on our recent trip through southAlaska, on the excursion eastern steamer Spokane, was the beautiful settlement of New Metlakahlla. The sandy town is scattered along a beach for a half mile, the land rising slightly from the water, the highest point occupied by the line church of the mission, which dominates the town like the Cathedrals of Durham or Ely in England. At one side of the settlement rise a series of lofty mountains, down one of which from a great height tumbles a stream of bright cold water from some hidden snow-covered peak, furnishing power for their various industries and the purest of drink from nature's inexhaustible storehouse. At one place the shore drops sufficiently to allow vessels to come to land, where a good wharf is built, upon which are a saw mill, salmon cannery and other industries. It was early in the day, and cold and cloudy when our good ship reached the wharf, upon which stood one white man, elderly with a most attractive face, interested to meet whom might have come to see him from the great world beyond. We knew at once that this was William Duncan, the only white man upon the island, and for perhaps a hundred miles in any direction. The story of William Duncan and the most successful mission in Alaska is more interesting than a romance : but it can only be touched upon here. It was about fifty years ago that a Brit- ish warship, the Virago, was sent to the western coast of llritish America, near the most southern point of Alaska, to punish the Indians for plundering and destroying an American schooner. The commander. Captain Prevost, was a thorough Christian, and as he sailed along the coast up to Fort Simpson and noted the fine physique but degraded and savage faces of the Indians, he was filled with compassion for these natives of the forest, and longed to be abb- to present to them the better life, found only in the gospel of Christ. During the following year. 1856, Capt. Prevost was called to England, and while there he presented to officers of the Church Missionary Society his ardent desire that a missionary should be sent to these distant red men. .After some delay, a young man, William Duncan, from Beonby, Yorkshire, volunteered to take up the difficult and hazardous work. Upon landing at Victoria he met great opposition from the government officials there, who informed Mr. Duncan that he had made a great mistake to think of laboring among the savage cannibals of Fort Simpson, for no one's life could be safe among them, only as he was protected by the high stockade of the fort. But Mr. Duncan would not change his plans, and proceeded to Fort Simpson by the first opportunity and set himself to the task of learning this strange language and reducing it to writing. After some eight months of diligent study he was able to address the Indians in their native tongue, never before spoken by a white man. From the first Mr. Duncan was kindly received by the natives, and his message was heard with eagerness. order should reign and especially where they should be entirely free from the temptation to intemperance, to which they were fearfully addicted. Conferences and much preparation followed, and during the winter of iHtii-j a site was secured for their settlement upon the beautiful island of Mctlakahtla, seventeen miles from Fort Simpson. Fifteen rules for the government of the colony were drawn up by Mr. Duncan, and only those who were willing to subscribe to them were ad- mitted to the company, They pledged to cease gambling, their faces, using intoxicating drinks, and promised to rest upon the Sabbath, to attend religious instruction, to be cleanly, industrious, peaceable, to build neat houses, etc. In the spring of 1862 about fifty who had subscribed to these rules, landed at Mctlakahtla and at once selected sites for their homes and prepared to build.

The first Fall Field Day of the Boys' Clubs was held Saturday, Nov. 26th at A GLANCE FORWARD. the Boys' Athletic Field on Vineyard street.

We do not know as banner from Kauluwela by the close much about boy nature as we thought we did. We thought a simple invitation would be enough to crowd our club rooms, but it is not. The street boy of Honolulu is the father of many a man—in wisdom. He does not propose to be cooped up between four walls unless he can find there more than he gets out on the street. And really what does he get in our clubs? Of course, there are clubs and clubs. In some of them he gets a little slip-shod, unmilitary drill, (our friends call it fostering the war spirit), a half hour's cheap amusement, and he is turned loose again on the streets. And this happens only one night in the week to break the monotony of the boy's life. What ought our clubs to stand for? The street boys of Honolulu have little or no home life. Our clubs ought to Therefore they supply this need. ought to be open every *iight in the week. But this means more than one score of 54 to 49 points.

Although it needs much done for it, in the way of improvements, we have here the entering wedge into the heart of many a boy. There is no better way to reach a boy's heart than 13 them? Here are some of the possibilities: A continuation school.

A. has a wellequipped educational course, but it does not reach the street boys. They do not want to be reached? Perhaps so. But is there any way to make them feel their great need of mental improvement? Could they not be induced to make use of a circulating library, especially adapted to meet the needs of the half-developed boy? Our clubs are weak right here: Head workis almost wholly neglected. We are doing something in the line of manual work. During the week five classes meet a competent instruct-01 for lessons in carpentry and wood turning. But each of these classes <s limited to eight or ten boys. We should like to be reaching more. There should be a night given up to amusements, when all sorts of healthy games should be played. A wellequipped gymnasium would greatly appeal to the boys. A savings bank should be an important factor in each club. Emphasis should be laid upon the value of clean and wholesome athletics. Contests in track, football, baseball, hare and hounds and any other proper games in their seasons, should be encouraged. Any club that falls short in religious instruction fails signally. Most of us can find something better to do than simply amuse boys. They can do that themselves. If we can build up their character and make Christian citizens out of them, our work will not be in vain. If we are to have well-equipped clubs that will meet the highest needs of the boys of Honolulu, we must have both money and consecrated leaders. E. B. T.

The purpose was to see if some good superintendent could be secured for its temperance work not only in Honolulu, but throughout all the islands. The response to the request was nil that could be desired, and a very hearty sympathy and interest were manifest at once. Reporters from several daily papers were telephoned for, and for about an hour the interviewers fired questions and plied pencils noting information concerning the islands and temperance situation therein. Mr. Westervelt was invited to attend the National Convention of the Anti-Saloon League to be held in November, and take part in its program, but it was beyond the time allotted for his stay in the States. He met Rev. Norman A. Palmer, a Methodist minister of good ability and success in Anti-Saloon League work, who had been invited and urged to take the supcrintcndency of the Anti-Saloon League in two other Territories. Mr Palmer is taking the temperance work in Hawaii into very serious consideration, and may be persuaded to make Honolulu his headquarters. He will be a valuable addition to the moral forces here, if he decides to come. THE LAST LEGISLATURE. Election is over and in about two months the legislature will meet to consider new bills, which they will enact into laws or turn back into the waste basket. A splendid local option bill was presented by Senator Dickey in the last legislature and was lost, if memory is correct, by but one vote. This was while the bill was under consideration in the senate. It should also be remembered that a petition went before the senate, asking for the passage of a clause in a liquor license bill, requiring the applicant for a liquor license to secure the written consent of a majority of the property owners on both sides of the street of the block in which his saloon was to be located. A concise local option bill was written out for presentation in the lower house after the longer bill had failed of passage in the senate. This bill provided in simple, terse terms for the right of any voting precinct to decide per cent, of the voters of that precinct, could call for a ballot on this question at any regular election —otherwise affairs would remain in statu quo. This was never presented to the lower house, chiefly because the time allotted for bills was becoming very limited. BILLS PASSED. Two bills, however, were passed by the last legislature and signed by Governor Dole, thus becoming a part of the laws of the Territory. The first related to the sale of malt liquors and provided that no saloon for the sale of of beer could be located within 150 feet or the premises used as a school church. This act did not concern itself with saloons not selling malt liquors. A proviso of this act forbade any minors to be allowed on the premises licensed to sell malt liquors. A second act forbade the furnishing or sale of intoxicants to inebriates or minors. Both of these acts are excellent and have been of use in procuring indictment and conviction of at least one saloon keeper, and thus making others far more careful than they otherwise would have been. There was also a good effect upon issuance of licenses within the prescribed limits. Temperance legislation desired the coining legislature.. from 1. The passage of at least a precinct local option law, which shall, in perfect fairness to all parties concerned, permit the residents of anyvoting precinct to say by ballot whether they desire or not, the sale of intoxicating liquors within the limits of their residence district, which means, of course, the precinct within which they exercise the rights of citizenship. The arguments in favor of local option will be presented in future issues of The Friend. At present the purpose is to call attention to a local option as the fairest and most desirable form of legislation. 2. It would be desirable to have a bill prepared and urged upon the legislature granting the request of almost the entire business community of Honolulu concerning the right of proper- not. As a matter of fact it is absolutely unjust to the fundamental principles of American citizenship to refuse to let the people of either a precinct or a business say by majority vote whether they want saloons or not. 3. It is well known among those who have studied the difference between "Federal" and "Territorial" licenses, that the wholesale dealers are compelled to show to the Federal officers, the firms to whom they sell intoxicants. It is not at all difficult for these officers to collect the Federal fees required of all those who handle intoxicants. It seems as if some bill could be prepared for the use of the Territorial officials, making impossible the vast amount of secret sale of intoxicating liquors which has been for a long time a heavy burden upon these islands. 4. Even the State of New York has a law (which is also enforced) forbidding the use of liquors in Armories, i. c., in the buildings occupied by State troops. It is widely recognized disgrace to Hawaii that beer by kegs and kegs, is used in our armory; and the building, known as the Bungalow, in the government grounds, is used almost like a saloon. It would be to the credit of Hawaii if the use of liquors was entirely forbidden in these government buildings. Other suggestions will be made as the time of the legislative session draws near, next February: but these four enactments should receive discussion at once as of great importance, and of these, "local option" is by far the most essential.

CHRISTMAHAWAII Christmas is the one season of the year when care and prejudice are laid aside and all the Christian world unite in laying its tribute of love at the feet of the Babe born at Bethlehem in a manger. In most countries living under the cross, there are legends of some patron saint in whose name deeds of mercy are performed and gifts are given at this time. The Germans believe that the little Christ child walks the street Christmas eve disguised as a poor little beggar, and while the children enjoy their festivities, they are on the lookout for some poor child with whom they may share their joys, hoping it may fall to their lot to really entertain the Christ child. The children of France believe that Jean Noel is heard singing in the mountains about Christinas time, and generally conies to some poor cottage, sometimes in the form of an old man, sometimes as a little child. If the people are kind and receive him well, they do not regret it, for he brings happiness and love with him. Many people take this opportunity of bestowing gifts and comforts on the unfortunate, mysteriously, in his name. Beggars are never refused at this season, the sick and old and friendless as well as the children are remembered, and even the animals are given a double portion for dinner, for is it not the day of all days in the year when every one should have cause to rejoice? In England and America we have Santa Clans which is a corruption of St. Nicholas, the natron saint of children. He is supposed to have lived in Asia, but little is known about his life except that from his earliest childhood he was noted for his extreme piety. Many mysterious deeds of charity were traced to him, and out of this fact grew the custom of children hanging up their stockings on Christmas eve and finding them filled with goodies in the morning. Eugene Field, in his Little Book of Profitable Tales, beautifully represents Santa Claus as the Child born of Faith and Love, in whom his parents are immortalized. And though he is very old, his heart is young and merry and he spends his whole life in working for the children. On Christmas eve he visits every home where the cross is known. To carry out his plans, he has secured the services of all the 15 Santa Clans should visit you? Then do you remember how you relived many times, in fact, are still reliving your experiences? Even now, though you may be very old or very happy, your face will brighten as you read this, and you will heave a sigh that you are not a child just for one day in the year. How delicious the sensation of really believing in Santa Clans—or rather, being in that delightful state when you know there is no little old man who comes down your chimney, but you fool yourself into believing that it is really true and you try so hard to keep awake to see him. I tut the sand man comes and off you go, only to wake at the first cock-crow when it is still dark—oh so dark! I hit you are not afraid, for is this not the greatest day of all the year? There is a tight feeliqg all around your heart. You are out of bed at a bound and creep softly down stairs, hoping against hope that you may catch dear old St. Nick in the very act of filling your stocking and find out that the story is really true after all. You triad on air, your breath comes in little gasps as you peer through the banisters, lint it is so dark you can see nothing. You reach the foot of the stairs, you creep softly through the hall door. You know just where your stocking is hung ami you make for it. Suddenly you knockover something and down you come with a crash. It is only a minute, and both forces of the spiritual and physical world. The fairies, the gnomes and the dwarfs bring him the treasures from the deep sea and from the bowels of the earth ; the pearls, the gold and metals from which he fashions most wonderful toys. The silkworm gives its silk, the bird gives its feathers, the horse its hair, the cow its horns, the tree its wood, the sheep its wool, and all to make the little ones happy. In fact, the whole Christian world is in league with Santa Clans and conspire to give not only children, but every one, a happy time in the name of him who said: "In as much as you do it unto 'One of the least of these,' you do it unto me." In spite of unbelievers, Santa Clans is one of the greatest forces for spiritual development in the world. Can you doubt this as you watch the merry, good-natured crowd of shoppers at Christmas time? Look into the eyes of the crabbed old business man hurrying home with a tell-tale parcel under his arm; look into the face of the over- father and mother and brothers and worked mother who steals a few minutes from her duties to sew secretly on a little gown and tell me what you see there.

Miss Martha Chamberlain has so far recovered as to be removed to her home. During her protracted convalescence is a good time for the Cousins to pay off a debt of love that has been accumulating and doubling up interest for years. To the children of the original cousins she is ever Aunt Mattie, and blessed is she who can count loving nephews and nieces by the score. One of our fighting cousins, Rev. Samuel L. Conde, veteran of the Civil war, of whom General Armstrong, when he was here in 1891, said: "I do not know where Sam Conde is now, but I know that wherever he is, he is standing to his guns," has written to us recently from his semi-retirement in E. Cleveland, Ohio. His letter was mainly on the subject of the proposed Missionary Record, which he heartily approves, and for which he sends family data, and promises sketches of his father and mother. In continuation he says: "My daughter Bertha, International College Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., is at present in England on an evangelistic visit to young women's colleges and seminaries in England and Scotland. She was invited there last year but could not leave at that time. She will visit France and Holland in her work before returning. She returned from her fourth trip to the Pacific coast last spring. I would not be surprised if some day when on the coast she would extend her journey to Honolulu. She has been urged very strongly to visit Japan, and may do so ere long. Her success in evangelistic work among women, especially the educated class, seems to be very great, for all of which lam very thankful. I have no son to follow me in the ministry, and it is a pleasure to know that at least one of my daughters is so blessed in the Lord's work among her own sex. My youngest daughter, Edith, is a senior in the College for Women at Western Reserve University in this city. She will probably follow her sister in a similar work, or as a Bible reader for which she has peculiar talent." Guided by the address of Arthur D. Baldwin as given in our last Annual Report, Mr. Conde called on the young lawyer, and expresses much pleasure in making the acquaintance of a son of his early friend.

Mark this! no one expects a "touchdown" right after the "kick-off." Did we say "the only thing said against" the local option bill? The most potent, effectual thing said (in effect) was, "we don't want it." Who said it,—or better,—in whose interests was it said? Watch the attitude of the liquor man on this issue. He may not come right out on the open, but you note the people who oppose and then inquire closely as to who is back of the opposition. We venture this a sure thing in the prophetic field "The Liquor Man Does Not Want Local Option." This is one of our best reasons for wanting it. Another matter for discussion, Governor Carter, in view of the coming legislature. It is juvenile delinquency. The Reformatory School is about full, and what to do with boy offenders is a question big with portent. Fortunately the Reformatory School is in excellent hands and many of the boys are really much better off there, than at home. But is it the only thing to do, with a boy who has life enough to be mischievous, to send him to the Reformatory? Colorado says "No." Her famous Judge Lindsay gives reasons and proofs no one can gainsay. Other states have long since decided on the Probationary idea. It works wherever tried and why not here? It is safe to say that fully half the boys now committed might be kept out of the Reformatory at a saving to the Territory and again in self-respect and manhood on the part of those who thus escaped commitment. It is becoming too easy for parents to avoid responsibilities of caring for boys by having them committed. (This requires separate treatment, but is a significant element in Hawaii's problem). Note elsewhere in these columns a simple expedient in the form of a bill to be introduced by Senator Dickey who is it's author. Senator Dickey's Local Option bill makes the strongest kind of claim for land is assured we ought to see that the support. The only thing that was sa;d against it in the last legislature was condebt is persistently wiped out. Next cerning the cost of the election.

We thank God he is here with us to extend the welcome. As. Dr. March arose, the audience stood and as one person cheered him to the echo, again and again. It was a most touching tribute of love and loyalty and it was some seconds before he could control his voice sufficiently to speak the words of welcome that were in his heart. Cold type can never do justice to the hearty and cordial feeling of thanksgiving and love that he conveyed in his every tone and gesture. He said, it is for the old folks to sing the song of welcome when grown up sons return from years of faithful toil afar tiff. I would sing and play the song of welcome until every roof trembled with the refrain if I were able, but I must speak it only. Dr. Norton here paid a high tribute to the faithfulness, help and inspiration that is given by those unselfish Christian woman who are the helpmates of strong men in the Christian missionary field, and especially to the power for good that Mrs. Scudder has been in conjunction with her husband in their far off charge, and then introduced Dr. Scudder, who spoke of the pleasure it gave him to be thus warmly received by his old friends; told something of the work he is doing and closed, expressing the hope that he might be here again on the 90th anniversary of Dr. March's birth two years hence. After singing a verse of the hymn. 'The Tie That Binds," the event closed with a fervent benediction. —Woburn News. * * * PORTENTS OF THIS GREAT WAR.

This first decade of the new century already signalized by one of the fiercest of wars, promises to be fruitful of vast political change and growth to our Pacific neighbors. this deadly grapple of two great ions, the world looks on in wonder, le striving to be calm and keep mu-1 peace without mutual interference I conflict, which may God forefend. c great empire has been remorselessushing forward to subdue and over- in Such events drive keenly upon the atrule the Orient. Its lesser but nimbler opponent has risen in ordered swiftness tention of obtuse China the nature of and unexpected might, and for a year that vast and fundamental revolution has pressed back its huge enemy with which has been wrought in the mental tremendous and unabating force. The struggle ever waxes fiercer, more resolute, more desperate. .What is to be the outcome? To us in Hawaii, the interest deepens. Only nine days steaming separates us from the scene of activity, from the strain and tension of Japan. Most profoundly concerned is this Pacific hemisphere, in which Hawaii holds a central part. The future of the Pacific is most deeply affected by the inevitable results of the war, whatever they may be. It seems impossible that either Japan or China, or the countries adjacent should remain unchanged, whatever the outcome. Evidently this twentieth Century has opened big with great events, revolutionizing the giant masses of Asia, and changing the near future especially of that vast body of sluggish yet powerful civilization, the four hundred millions of Chinese people. For it is manifestly the future and fate of China, over which these combatants are now wrestling, whatever their fully purposed intentions may be. The event of this war is to be more decisive as to the condition of China, than of that of either of the empires at war. It is that vast, inert, slumbering, but most capable mass of mankind whose future is mainly concerned in the fierce wrestle and grapple now in progress in their own territory. Our vision is incapable of so peering into the near future, as to clearly discern either the latent possibilities or the probable results of this war, whichever way the final victory turns. But we are fully assured that all events are in the hands of the Supreme Ruler, who directs all things after the counsel of His will; and He has revealed His purpose to subline this earth into subjection to the beneficient Kingdom of His Son. And how may this war lead towards that great End? One effect upon China we may easily conjecture. That is a powerful arousing and quickening of thought among that crowded mass of people as to their position among mankind. It would seem that their torpid thought must awake to their necessity for participating like the agile Japanese in the light and thinking of the modern world. How cap their great central provinces fail to awake, when such a tremendous tramp and crash of war thunders on through the year in their northern province of Manchuria? All China must rouse itself to ask what means this fearful turmoil, and how is it created? and material condition of Japan by taking in the progressive and civilizing forces of Christendom. They must stir up the Chinese to appropriate and participate in those vast forces of science and art. To the world's wonder, Japan's ordered and determined effort to possess those forces to the utmost has lifted that smaller empire into the status of a formidable world-power, possessed of marvelous capacity, equipment, and prevision, so as to wage a war of the most resolute and steady advance, the fiercest vigor of attack, the most ordered and thorough application of force. The Chinese are a race of exceptional practical and business capacity, and they are most capable of imitating whatever is seen to be desirable. Despite their obstinate conservatism, their repugnance to change, the fearful thunders of this war must forbid their longer stopping cars and eyes to their absolute necessity for falling into the ranks of modern progress and advancing into the light like Japan. Apparently the hour for China's awakening has arrived. A day of general enlightenment of that people would seem to be close at hand. Of c jurie such a vast revolution will be attended with great commotions and local resistances. Rut the change is inevitable. If this be so, now is the time of opportunity for Christian teachers and Christian schools to win their way to acceptance among the awakening masses of that nation. All foreign teaching must become in the utmost demand throughout the vast empire. A day seems cio»e at hand for the highest opportunity for consecrated Christian effort to pour powerful Gospel light over those teeming millions. WONDERFUL TUNNELING HAWAII. IN This tunneling has been done within the last two years for the purpose of conveying water for irrigating sugar cane. It is a new system of ditching, or rather in place of ditching, in order to reach otherwise inaccessible streams of great volume. Nothing perhaps more notably illustrates the able and determined enterprise of our sugar planters than this recent and successful attack upon what seemed to be impregnable mountain fastnesses, whereby their treasures of water have been drained away and distributed over broad and rich but arid plains. �6 THE FRIEND There are probably scarcely any other The first and perhaps most remarkable of the three great tunnel systems similar water systems available in these accomplished, is known as the "Koolau islands, unless perhaps that of the Koditch" on East Maui* which more than hala mountain be ol like nature.

The truth is, and it should be genfor mill and railway uses. . erally understood, that the Hawaiian Islands do not possess a Tropical climate although south of the Tropic of Cancer. It may perhaps be called sub-tropical, although that term more properly applies to latitudes like Florida well above the Tropic, where a mild winter comes, as it does not in Hawaii. We lack the regenerating and recuperating influence of winter cold, but at the same time we know nothing whatever of torrid heat such as prevails in Havana, Manila or Calcutta throughout the greater part of the year, although in nearly the same latitude. Our climate is wholly different. The reason of that difference, which ought to be more generally recognized, is simply that we occupy a cold region of ocean water, which is the only similar section of ocean on the globe within the Tropics. The ocean surface waters on the windward or eastern side of these Islands stand at very uniform temperatures ranging from near 500 in late winter to over 70 0 in late summer. And on all small islands like ours, the temperature of the surrounding ocean necessarily determines the temperature of the air. Throughout Micronesia, lying from 2,000 to 4,000 miles west of Hawaii in the warm Equatorial current, the temperature ranges from a minimum of Bo° to a maximum of ioo°. By a unique condition, existing nowhere else in the Tropics, Hawaii gets her ocean water directly transmitted from that vast body of nearly ice-cold water which occupies the western coast of North America from Sitka to Los Angeles, and is known as the Pacific Coast Cold Current. That current tempers in a marvellous manner the otherwise extreme climates of that whole coast from Puget Sound to Southern Calir fornia, which would otherwise be scorching hot in summer and biting cold in winter. Yet in San Francisco, overcoats are needed every summer afternoon, and fires in the evening. One half of the great states of Washintgon and Oregon are redeemed by this current from the semi-desolation of those portions east of the Cascade Range, and are rendered the sweetest and fairest portions of the globe for the abode of highly-civilized man. By the same law of the earth's rotation which directs the course of the Trade winds, the overflow of that great cold current is driven south-westward to the ocean-region of Hawaii. That fact is verified by the frequent arrival here of huge trees and saw-logs from the Columbia River, which land on our eastern shores. During the slow progress hither of this great current, it accumulates much heat from the sun, but still retains a very moderate temperature, even in late summer. Thus Hawaii was anciently annexed, �THE FRIEND. climatically, to America, even as it has been recently annexed politically. It would seem as if a kind Providence had designedly prepared on the Pacific Coast a glorious home for the development of a great civilized empire, whose climate is so wonderfully tempered by that Cold Current. And still more out here in this imperial ocean, is created by the same means a fitting outpost for the same civilization, confronting the more ancient civilization of the Orient. May the great destiny of Hawaii thus indicated be worthily fulfilled in a high Christian culture with righteousness, social purity S. E. B. and public integrity. THE METLAKAHTLA MISSION, ALASKA. was based. In 1870, Mr. Duncan spent a few months in England, where he By Mary S. Whitney. (Concluded) Each evening after the labors of the day, they gathered on the shore, like a large happy family, while Mr. Duncan gave them a short scripture address, and all joined in prayer and singing. This company was soon increased to four or five hundred by others coming from Fort Simpson, and after ten months Mr. Duncan was able to report that there had not been a case of drunkenness in the colony, and only two had proved unworthy and been banished from the place. Evening family devotions were held in nearly every home, on Sabbath days labor was laid aside and hardly a soul staid away from divine service. Recognizing the fact that no individual nor com munity can be self-respecting and pros" perous who depends upon help for daily existence, Mr. Duncan at once introduced trades and industries by which his people should become selfsupporting. Being himself of a remarkably practical turn of mind, he was able to give intelligent direction to their work. He taught them improved methods of fishing, to make better boats and build better houses; to manufacture lumber and can fish; to read and write and sing, not neglecting all the while to teach the religious truths upon which all hope of improvement learned the arts of weaving, rope making, twine spinning and brush making, also the scale upon twenty-one musical instruments, which were donated to the settlement, by means of which a brass band was added to the attractions of Metlakahtla. Thus for twenty-five years, under the guidance of Mr. Duncan this lone mission station was prosperous, happy and contented. When in the height of its vigor and prosperity its progress was interrupted from an unexpected source. Though practically an independent mission, it had remained under the supervision of the English Church Missionary Society, and had received encouragement and some financial aid from this organization. Early in the eighties the secretary, Henry Venn, who had heartily approved Mr. Duncan's methods, died, and a Missionary Bishop was appointed to have the oversight of all the mission stations in British Columbia, including Metlakahtla. This bishop undertook to interfere with their simple forms of worship, insisted upon ritualistic observances and the introduction of real wine into the communion service. Mr. Duncan felt that the elaborate ritual of the Church of England was entirely unsuited to the simple habits of his people, and that their spiritual life would be weakened by its use. The introduction of spirituous liquor in any form had been absolutely prohibited in the colony from the first. 7 and he was sure that its use, even in their religious observances, would endanger their whole moral character. As the bishop insisted that the changes should be made, Mr. Duncan felt obliged to withdraw from the Church Missionary Society and organize an Independent Native church; but the Missionary Society claimed the ownership of the two most central acres of the village, upon which the mission buildings stood, and the Canadian Government supported this claim, only allowing the people to remain upon their lands "by the charity and bounty of the Queen." Mr. Duncan narrated the circumstances to an interested crowd of passengers from our steamer, including Rev. Dr. Hillis of Brooklyn, whose predecessor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, had shown great sympathy for this Indian community in their time of trial. Said Mr. Duncan: "The people were amazed at this stand taken by the 'We Church, and the Government. don't ask the charity of the Queen,' they said. 'This is our land, and it was our fathers' before us, our homes are here, and here we have lived.' "I saw," he continued, "that the only thing to do was to again move my people to new homes. Some of them were for fight, and I knew there were plenty of the heathen Indians about who would be only too willing to join with them in a war upon the whites, and no white man's life in this part of Alaska would be safe." Mr. Duncan told how he held conferences with the leading -men of the place, and after careful consideration, they decided to leave their comfortable homes and gardens, their beautiful church, which it had taken them two years to build, their school houses and stores, and shops and mills, and seek a new home upon American soil in near-by Alaska. A band of Metlakahtlans at once set out in their canoes to explore the coast. �8 THE FRIEND and after proceeding about ioo miles northward they found a beautiful bay upon the uninhabited t shores of Annette Island in Alaska, and at once decided that this should be their future home, where under the stars and stripes, they should not be molested in their worship of God. Upon their return, Mr. Duncan proceeded at once to Washington to secure permission from the U. S. Government to settle upon the land. The case was carefully considered by President Cleveland and other officials, and enlisted the interest of many leading clergymen and others. In the end satisfactory arrangements were made and in the summer of 1887 a number of the people proceeded to Annette Island to fell trees and prepare for the colony which was to follow. In the fall about a thousand men, leaving their comfortable homes tenantless, landed upon the island and encamped in tents and temporary huts till spring. Finding then that none of the people were disheartened and wished to return, Mr. Duncan drew up a beautiful design for the streets and homes and other buildings of a new village, which he intended should be a model city in all respects. The highest land was reserved for a church, a school house and gymnasium, a large guest house, hospital, stores, shops, etc. Lots were laid out 80 by 90 feet and assigned to families; streets were also plannedand then miles of well constructed board sidewalks, eight feet wide. Of the town the former Governor of Alaska says:"A neater, more orderly, or better contented Christian community cannot be found in any State or Territory of the Union." They named the place New Metlakahtla. This was sixteen years ago. The people received nothing for the lands and houses they abandoned, and they are now not connected with Yet any missionary organization. they have by their own industry been able to build a beautiful church, entirely by their own labor, seating 800, well furnished and supplied with a pipe organ. It cost $10,286. A school house cost $4,500. A doctor's residence and home for girls cost $4,000; a guest house cost $3,000. A system of waterworks cost $10,000; a saw mill and machinery, $6,000, and a cannery, with equipment, including two small steamers, $31,000. Add to this their homes, many of which cost $1,000 each, and we may have some idea of the thrift and industry of this company of Indians, who fifty years ago were living in the lowest degradation of vice and only white person at the settlement. He has never married. He is still the pastor of the church, serving without a salary. He preaches twice every Sunday, conducts the Sunday school and the mid-week prayer meeting. He is the manager of the large cannery, which in 1902, produced 16,767 cases of canned fish, and of the saw mill, which produced 190,000 feet of lumber. He is also the father and friend and spiritual advisor of every man, woman and child in the colony. Mr. Duncan would be the last man in the world to dlow any one to think that by his wisdom or perseverance all this has been accomplished. It has come about through the humanizing, uplifting influence of the Spirit of God, brought to this untaught, savage people by a man full of love and consecration to God's work, and it is one of the most signal modern miracles of the gospel. About a year ago the publishers of the Ram's Horn sent Mr. Geo. T. B. Davis to Metlakahtla to write up the history of the mission, and I am indebted to his book, recently published, for much of the information here given. THE JAPANESE WORK AT HILO. By Rev. V. Yajima. The Japanese Christian Church in Hilo was established Jan. 11, 1891, by Rev. J. Okabe, the first Japanese pastor of the Church, but we do not know the details about the matter, owing to lack of records. All the members who were enrolled in the church from the beginning to Aug. 1, 1901, the time when I came here, were 337. But most of them "returned to their mother country, a few went to the coast, a few died here, and a few were ex-communicated. There were only 23 members, including two children, when I arrived here. During about three years—from Aug. 1, 1901, to the present day—34 people were baptized, and 15 were received by letter. Twenty-seven of this number went away or died during that time. The present number of members is 45. Sixteen of them belong to Olaa station, and the other 29, including 3 children, are stopping in the town and vicinity. The meeting house at Olaa station is in the camp of the Olaa Mill. The house was given to us by Mr. McStocker, the former manager of Olaa, in May of last year. From that time I have gone and still continue t» go there on the last Sunday of each month to preach. On the other Sundays all the believers there have a meeting among themselves. savagery. The last time I saw Mr. John Watt, the Mr. Duncan, at the age of "]2, is the new manager, I asked him to give us a - meeting house at Nine Miles in Olaa, because that place is the best. He said: "Mr. Hill spoke to me about that, and I am thinking about it. I believe that I can give you the house, which is now being used as a harness shop in two or three weeks." Now we are praying and expecting to get the house. Our church services are conducted on every Sunday afternoon from i 130 to 2:15. After which the Sunday-school service is held. The reason we are holding the meetings on Sunday afternoon is, that most of the members are working as cooks or garden boys, and it is more convenient for them to come to the church at that time. Every Sunday morning I visit the Japanese prisoners in the jail. In the evening we practice singing Japanese hymns for half an hour, with the teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Boscow, and the other half hour we devote to the study of the Japanese Bible. The attendance at our prayer meetings Wednesday evenings averages about ten. The teachers of the Sunday-school are Miss Severance, Miss Deyo, Mr. and Mrs. Boscow, for the young people, and Miss Porter for the children. The children are very few. I am publishing "The Mauna Kea," a monthly Japanese Christian newspaper, which was started in March of this year, This is devoted to all the Japanese Christian churches in Hawaii. Mr. Inouye and Mr. Sokabe are contributing articles to it. There arc 500 copies published every month. The Christian Endeavor Society was organized on the 10th of July and the members of the society number 35. The parsonage was erected by the Hawaiian Board, in December of last year, for the sum of $500. In July of this year, we painted the church, chairs and fence. The cost ($66) was raised among the believers. There are two night schools, one is in the Hawaiian church, near to the Waiakea Mill. The teacher is Mrs. W. H. Beers, who has been very ill and is resting now. We hope that she will regain her health very soon so as to be able to continue teaching. The other is in the church in Hilo. The teachers are Mr. and Mrs. Boscow. At present the pupils number 12. We visit the Japanese at Waiakea camps every Sunday afternoon after the close of the Sunday-school. HILO MINISTERS' MEETING. The monthly gathering of the Hilo pastors was held as usual at Mr. Shield's house, on Monday morning, November 14th. Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Union Church of Hilo, as well as the Honomu church were represented. �9 THE FRIEND. After prayer and the discussion of local items of interest, the paper of the morning was read by Rev. Yajima, who has been making a study of the religious conditions in Japan at the present time. His paper is given in part as follows: The ivork of the Christians in Japan during the war. "The Russo-Japanese war 'began on the Bth of February of this year. What are the Japanese Christians doing during this war? I will try to tell you about that briefly. (i) The Evangelical Alliance of Japan, which includes all Protestant churches in the country, requested the churches to ask God's blessings on the Japanese army a few days after the war began. (2) The Alliance decided to send Christian chaplains to the field on tfie 27th of February, and not a few have gone with the army. (3) The Bible and Christian pamphlets have been distributed among the soldiers. (4) A Missionary report says: "There has been much visiting among the homes from which niemlicrs have gone to the front." (5) "The Hospitals in which both Japanese and Russians are treated, are constantly provided with the evidence of Christ, in sympathy and care, in the way of literature and all needed assistance not provided by the government." (6) Many different topics were delivered by the Christian workers in the cities and towns. A few of them are put down here: The origin of the Russo-Japanese war and the nation's attitude ?t the time of the war. The Mission of the Empire. Thoughts on reading the proclamation of war. Japan assisted by Heaven. A Christian's view of war. The present opportunity and Christianity. War and Christians. Thoughts on the punishment of Russia. The Christian at the time of the war. The new life of the Empire. The arms of a Christian. What is the blessing of Heaven ? The yellow peril and Christianity. Our mission at the time of the war. Our war. The spirit of the time and Mission work. The war of love. A war after the war. Attentions at the time of the war. The victory and Christianity. The spiritual transformation of the Oriental people. Loyalty with Christianity. - Not against war. Christianity and the development of a nation's destiny. The problems of the day and religion. A righteous oriental war and the preparation of Japan's young men. / Loyalty and filial piety. The question of the yellow peril is dying of itself. The greatest conqueror of the world. Christianity and the morality of Japan. (7) The W. C. T. U. are visiting many of the homes of the soldiers who have gone to the war, and trying to give some help, that they want. (b) They are gathering many comfort bags from all parts of the country, and sending to the soldiers. In it are some of stockings, threads, needles, buttons, scissors, handkerchief, towels, medicines, postal cards, envelopes, stamps, tooth powders, tooth brushes, soaps, knives, candy, etc. Temperance (8) The Japanese League is advising to stop to drink sake at this special time, and to give to the government the money. The Y. M. C. A. have taken a to accommodate about 200, to the field. Tables and chairs have been prepared, many tracts, newspapers, games and an organ. Here often letters are written home for the wounded sol(9) tent, able diers. MISSIONARIES TO HAWAII. The question is sometimes asked, What missionaries, appointed by the American Board, to labor in the Hawaiian Islands, are still living and residing in the islands? Blackmail in his excellent book "The Making of Hawaii," gives the tabulated list of missionaries appointed and dates of appointment. This list shows that ten missionaries are now resident in these islands. They are as follows: Mother Parker, coming in 1833. Mother Rice, coming in 1841. Mother Castle, coming in 1843. Rev. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick, coming in 1862. Rev. and Mrs. S. E. Bishop, coming in 1862. Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander, coming in 1865. Rev. W. D. Wcstervelt, coming in 1889. Rev. and Mrs. John Leadingham, appointed in 1894, and Mrs. Hyde, appointed in 1877, are now residing in the States. This would make thirteen living missionaries representing the work of the American Board in these islands. To this list it seems as if Rev. and Mrs. O. P. Emerson of Maui should be added, for Mr. Emerson came by a joint arrangement of the American Board and the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. WANTED. Games, Magazines and Papers for the Boys' Clubs. All sorts of games such as dominoes, crokinole, checkers, back-gammon, bagatelle, hoops, ninepins, etc.; in fact any game that will interest and hold the boys of the street. The Magazines and Papers should be especially full of pictures. Such things can be left at the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms. AN ACT REGULATING THE TRIAL AND PROBATION OF JUVENILE DELINQUENTS. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii: Section I. It shall be the each Circuit Judge and District Magistrate in the Territory to appoint not less than three Probation Officers in the tircuit or district over which he has jursidiction, who shall serve without pay and act only when juvenile delinquents are put under their charge as provided by Section 2 of this act. Section 2. All District Circuit Judges and Magistrates in the Territory are hereby empowered to release on parole any juvenile delinquents under the age of sixteen years who may be convicted of any crime of misdemeanor before them the punishment for which is not greater than imprisonment for ten years, and cause them to be placed on probation under the supervision of probation officers. The sentences under such convictions shall be suspended pending such probation. Such juvenile offenders shall be ordered to report to the probation officers at such stated times as the judge or magistrate may prescribe bringing with them a report from their teachers, employers, or other persons selected by such probation officer, showing what their behavior has been. The probation officer shall report to the judge or magistrate at such times as said judge or magistrate may prescribe and in case of failure to report any such probation officer may be discharged by such judge or magistrate and the delinquent put in charge of another. The judge or magistrate may prescribe any course under such probation as may seem to him for the best interest of the juvenile delinquent and the good of the public. He may call the juvenile delinquent before him at any time during the probation �THE FRIEND. 10 and bring the same to a close if he thinks best. Section 3. In case ofbreach of patole or persistent misbeliavio'r of any juvenile offender under the care of a probation officer it shall be the duty of such officer to return the juvenile delinquent to the judge or magistrate before whom he was convicted, and such judge or magistrate may order the original sentence to be caried out or the probation to be continued as may seem best in his discretion. Section 4. After the passage of this act it shall be the duty of all district magistrates to try all persons under sixteen at a time apart from the time of trial of older persons and may exclude the general public from such trials if they so desire. Section 5. This act shall become a law from and after its approval. ITempranc ssues EDITED BY REV. W. D. WESTERVELT. I LOCAL OPTION LAW.

Section 3. If the majority of the votes cast at such election shall be in favor of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, then from and after the date of such election except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful for any person, personally or by agent to sell, furnish or give away any intoxicating liquors to be used as a beverage within the limits of the precinct or precincts covered by such election, and whoever thereafter in any manner, directly or indirectly sells, furnishes, or gives away or in any manner deals in any intoxicating liquors as a beverage or keeps or uses a place, structure or vehicle, either permanent or transient, for such selling, furnishing or giving away, or in which or from which intoxicating liquors are sold, given away or furnished or otherwise dealt in as aforesaid shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than Five Hundred Dollars, nor less than Fifty Dollars, or by imprisonment at hard labor for not more than sixty days or both. Section 4. Nothing in this act shall in any manner affect the right of any legal manufacturer of intoxicating liquors to sell and furnish his product in wholesale quantities to parties residing or doing business outside the limits of the precinct or precincts where the sale, furnishing or giving away or dealing in intoxicating is prohibited. This act shall not affect the right of any person who holds a license to sell intoxicating liquors in the precinct or precincts in which the sale has been prohibited urder this act, but he may continue such sale until the expiration of such license. It shall be unlawful for the Treasurer to issue any license to sell intoxicating liquors in any precinct after the petition mentioned in section 1 of this act has been made and presented to him and before the holding of such election and any such license is unlawful and of no effect. The phrase "intoxicating liquors" as used in this act shall be construed to mean any distilled, malt, vinous or other intoxicating liquors, but nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent the selling of intoxicating liquors at retail by a regular druggist for exclusively known medicinal, pharmaceutical, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes ; and when sold for medicinal purposes it shall be sold only in good faith upon written prescription issued, signed and dated in good faith by a reputable physician in active practice and used but once. The words "Giving away" where they occut in this act shall not apply to the giving away of intoxicating liquors by a person in his private dwelling to his immediate family and friends, provided such dwelling is not a place of public resort. Section 5. At any time after the expiration of two years from the date of any election held under the provisions of this act another election may be petitioned for under the same in the same precinct or precincts and shall be ordered as provided for in section 1, and the Governor shall not entertain any petition from any precinct in which an election has been held within two years under this act. Section 6. Any person being a qualified voter of any election precinct wherein an election shall have been held as provided in this act may contest the validity of such election before the Supreme Court within thirty days after such election. He shall furnish the court with sufficient security for all costs in the case and on failure to establish his case shall pay all costs. The decision of the Supreme Court or a majority thereof shall be final. Section 7. This law shall take effect from and after its passage. The foregoing is Senator Dickey's bill. He says of it that one might hardly call it a local option bill. There is "option" only to a degree. It amounts to prohition on the one side or the leaving of things as they are. That is, if a precinct votes for liquor, they have the Governor and the Treasurer to deal with in the matter of licenses. The advantage of the bill is clear enough, viz.: that there is a chance for any community to tabu the saloon and then hold the police responsible for permitting illegal selling. What we like about it is that it gives us a foothold for honest work against the arch-enemy. T. R. FOR SOBER REFLECTION. Who wants a drunkard for a husband, a wife, a brother, a sister, a business partner, an employe, a companion or a friend? Then why should any one want the drunken factory to be kept running? Every asylum is an argument against the grog shop, for more than half the inmates are there because of rum. Every poor house is a protest against liquor selling, for three-quarters of the paupers are the victims of the saloon. Every jail is an indictment of license, for four-fifths of the criminals are the finished products of the rum traffic. �12 THE FRIEND Three out of every four of all the dollars paid in taxes by the voter cry out against his depositing a vote to keep open the rumshop, because if this vile institution were once abolished, those three dollars need not be paid; for threequarters of all taxes are simply the contribution which the people are compelled to make to defray the running expenses of the saloon. And yet we call ourselves a free people! But some people tell us that there will be as much liquor sold under no license as under license. Then why is it that all rum-dom is up in arms against prohibition and pours out money by millions and fights tooth and nail to put it down ? The Duke of Wellington used to say that it was good generalship to do the thing that the enemy does not want to have done. As the liquor men make it plain enough that they do not want "nolicense," it will be perfectly safe for temperance people to vote for it. The fact is there is no more need of proving that "no-license" is a blessing than there is of proving that the sun shines. It is self-evident. The liquor traffic is not only vile, but atrociously wicked. It thrives only by the destruction of the virtue, the happiness, the lives, and souls of men. Both the Old Testament and the New are against it. It is the abrogation of Christianity. It is Satan's masterpiece. The upright citizen could scarcely enjoy a greater privilege than the opportunity of giving it a blow by casting his ballot against it."—The Search Light. WIDE WORLD NOTES. A CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN GUAM. The missionaries of the American Board have been doing good work in Guam, and as a result Rev. F. M. Price has organized a Congregational church, with 31 members. Thirty other applicants for membership were organized into a Christian Endeavor Society as probationers. Schools have been opened, and young men from these schools go on evangelizing tours through the villages on the island, whose area is about 300 square miles. The missionary work in Guam includes day and boarding schools for boys and girls, equipped for practical training in industrial arts. The present population of Guam is about 10,000. The people are sturdier but less spirited than their Filipino kinsmen, and their island may yet become a center of light for the Pacific.—The Missionary Review. GOSPEL COOKING SCHOOL. Here is a bit of missionary life from Tsuchiura, Japan: "Imagine me," says the missionary, "sitting on the floor, with a little table three feet square and a foot high, and a little charcoal fire with an oven on it, on one side. I was giving a cooking lesson to six Japanese ladies." The lesson was on stuffing and baking mackerel and on making sponge cake. After the lesson in cooking came a Bible lesson. What was the missionary's reward. Three of the women of the cooking class have already become Christians!—American Messenger. A GENEROUS CHINAMAN. Captain Graham, of Roswell, N. M., sends the following interesting item: "We were having a special soldiers' meeting last Monday night, to see what the soldiers would promise towards the purchase of a lot for a building. We spied a friendly Chinaman looking through a hole in the tent. One of the soldiers went to him, and he said, 'Puttee me down for $10.' "—War Cry. WOMEN IN MISSIONS. The Bishop of Worcester has struck a true note in asserting the great importance of women's work in the mission field. After commenting upon the striking change in public opinion in regard to this development, he said at a recent meeting: "It is now generally perceived that there can be nothing of more transcendent importance than the development of women's work. The whole possibility of the Christian religion taking hold of such a country as India depends on getting at the hearts of the women, and that depends upon women workers. The progress of religion depends on what is going on in the hearts and minds of the women, and nowhere more so than in India; and the advance of Christianity there will be very slow until a rear attack is made upon that in which the whole social system of the country is imbedded—the zenana." London Christian. * * * — A lady writing from Uganda says: "One can tell the Christian women almost at once in visiting a place by their looks. They are much quieter in their manners, less quarrelsome, and have a superior look about them."—Bureau of Missions. JAPAN-KOREA EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Some of our readers remember them. Look at these buildings presented herewith, good reader of former days, and indulge in genuine surprise. Surely progress is not surprising only if, as with Rip Van Winkle, it happened while we slept. No, as Carlyle intimates a miracle is a miracle whether it took one or a thousand years,—whether it flashed on us but once or whether it occurs every morning like the rising of the sun. Hence, Honolulu's buildings are a marvel in our eyes as they would be to eyes long closed in sleep. Missionary fathers, how much of a share did ye have,—do ye still have, in these structures? recently held at Chemulpo, at which it was resolved that an association, to be called the Nikkan Kyoiku-kai (JapaneseKorean Educational Association), should be instituted, with a view to teach the Japanese language to the Koreans and the Korean language to the Japanese in Korea. The conference has also asked the Imperial Educational Association of this country to co-operate in the plan. In the event of the proposed association being established it will have its head office at Tokyo and branch offices at Seoul and Fusan."—Japanese Commercial Weekly. CHINESE ORGANIZE.

THE COST OF WAR. 13 of the older boys and girls have been interested in getting something for theirs also. Perhaps the meaning of the Great Christmas Gift and the spirit of generosity has grown a little in the hearts of a few. Friday, Dec. 16 was a joyous day. In the forenoon sixty parents and friends came to see the kindergarten children in their morning circle, and to receive their gifts hanging on the prettily decorated tree. Each child trudged home with a big orange and a cornucopia of candy. In the evening two hundred and forty people crowded the reading and club room to see the tableaux presented by the children. They were then taken to the kindergarten and seated in three rows about the tree. Candy was given to every one, and popcorn and oranges to those who had been most regular in attendance during the fall. Three new books and two toys were the presents for the Alexander House, Christmas exercises were held at the Chinese church Thursday evening, Dec. 14, and the Chinese boys and girls were made happy by the annual visit of Santa Clans. A good time is planned for the Chirese boys and girls of Paia next week. The London Daily News says:"The world looks on and applauds, forgetful of the fact that a battleship costs $5,000,000 that $5,000,000 make 10,000,000 yen, that 10,000,000 yen make 1,000,000,000 sen, and that a Japanese male adult operative earns in a year about 8,000 sen, or $48.

The first regular meeting in December, was held on the sth at 10 a. m. in the Central Union Church parlor. After prayer the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Then followed notes from the field, by different members. The committee on the Sunday question was continued and asked to report from time to time. Major Milsaps read the paper of the morning on the Best Use of Life. It was full of interest and inspiring thought. After some further remarks on the subject, the meeting adjourned with prayer. The Union met again on Monday morning Dec. 19th. Dr. Bishop made the opening prayer. The minutes were read and accepted. Then followed a discussion on books recently read by the members. A committee of the pastors of the English speaking churches, was apointed, to arrange for the Week of Prayer. Rev. W. D. Wcstervelt read an excellent paper on New Methods of Bible Study. After some discussion the meeting adjourned. Thirteen members were present. CHINESE NOTES. The Sunday School of the Fort St. Chinese church, gave a most interesting and successful Christmas entertainment on the evening of Dec. 22nd. The church was packed full of Chinese. All seemed greatly to enjoy the singing, the recitations and arrival of Santa Claus. One feature of the entertainment was a representation of the "Three Wise Men" who came in leading a camel. With candy and presents the members of the school all went home happy.i THE MORNING STAR. Through the kindness of a friend we have the following report regarding this last of the famous missionary vessels which has borne this name. A Mr. Doyle who was third engineer on the Morning Star was a through passenger from Hongkong on the China which touched here on the 24th of Dec. en route to San Francisco. He reports that the Morning Star reached Ponape in the latter days of October with all well, and was to leave soon for Kttsaie.

Dr. Dawson of England, the apostle of the new evangelism, is invited to make a tour of many months throughout the leading cities of the Union. Men are being roused. Other denominations seeing how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity are asking to enter the triunity so happily forwarded in lowa's capital city. A new spirit has entered the Churches. Every week witnesses to the growth of a denominational consciousness which realizes it the mission ol the Congregational Church to serve in wider relations than ever. Not sectarian growth but larger service—service in helping to blot out sects and merge churches, service in bringing to men the consciousness of God, service in bridging the industrial chasm between class and class until classes shall cease to be. It was a privilege to be present at a gathering so potent and historical. Hawaii needs the inspiration of this Council. Its spirit is the spirit for which this Territory sighs. Yale and Harvard No better evidence of the thorough permeation of the Mainland Churches with this spirit can be found than in the missionary movement in the two oldest and largest Congregational colleges. To many the names Vale and Harvard suggest ideas of friendly rivalry in sport, to others high ideals of scholarship, to still others the rounded culture befitting educated gentlemen, but few have any notion 6f the splendid training in social service and in practical religious work open to every student in these two universities. Of late years the field exploited by the active Christian men has expanded beyond the boundaries of the Mainland states. One of the best friends Hawaii has is Dean Frank K. Sanders of Vale whose interest in this Territory is made evident not only in the persons of Revs. Mr. Hopwood and Dr. Baker but also in his readiness to influence others of his best men to come and labor here. Greater America however does not bound the field in the eyes of these ardent collegians. Recently at Cambridge the Harvard Mission was organized with the fourfold aim of familiarizing the University with �THE FRIEND 4 the work of Harvard men in the foreign field, of securing subscriptions to support graduates as missionaries, of bringing into a compact union all the students who expect to enlist in missionary service and of sending into the foreign field within five years no less than twenty Harvard men who are to be encouraged to go where the need and opportunity are greatest. Meantime Vale has invaded Hunan, the central province of China and the nursery of its noblest sons, and at Chungsha its capital is erecting a Christian University for the higher education of men drawn from all over the Empire. The work done by each of these American Universities is to be undenominational. Indeed the various missionary societies laboring in Central China expect to relegate to the new Vale in Hunan all higher educational work, reserving for themselves only the preparatory schools. In these days of frenzied finance it is well to stop and think that the young men who are to lead in the America of the future are being banded together to bring the world to Christ not only in Vale and Harvard but elsewhere throughout the educational centers of "God's Country." Frenzied Finance The sudden reaction from financial depression to elation caused by the rise in the price of the staple production of this Territory calls for serious consideration. The promise of prosperity is a good thing. Men were made to be glad when successful. And that gladness opens doors facing in two directions. (hie is upward to larger opportunity by the way of self-control. The other is downward to inevitable narrowness of life along the road of speculation. Our community is facing this alternative. It is time for leaders to set wise examples, to forego the opportunity of large speculative gains made through the forcing of securities above the point of actual permanent value, to discourage the boom movement, and in especial to lay emphasis on other than material values by generous support of institutions which stand for spiritual ideals. The tendency of such a financial season as the present is to induce persons with small means to risk their all and too often that which is not their own in the hope of large gains. The question for the Christian capitalist to consider is this: "Is it right for me to sell my stock at a price above its conservative value to young men and to others of untrained judgment knowing that they must suffer by the inevitable contraction in price which will come some day ? Am I not by so doing taking more than an equivalent for what I exchange, in other words am I not defrauding?" Of course the market may not yet have reached this condition. Judgment of financial values is also a delicate matter especially in view of such a commodity as that for which Hawaii is famous. The role of a prophet is not courted by any one and the most conservative judgment may err in over or under estimation. Granting all this, should not some of our public spirited men of business insight be ready to sound the warning when the danger point is evidently drawing near? The Nick of Time A quaint old English expression this but one full of meaning. It might be paraphrased "the wink of time." The old man with the sickle is now winking. To get the right work in before the eyelids close demands quick action. In other words if our leading Christian business men desire to turn the thoughts of the community to nobler things the moment for doing so most effectively is now. (httside of generous aid to evangelistic work no better method of accomplishing this end for Honolulu can be sought than by founding a public library. In this age when less than half a dozen towns in Massachusetts are without an institution of this nature the backwardness of this city is a reflection upon our public spirit and our Christian pretensions. Why not have one at once? The Legislature is about to meet. Suppose the owners of the private library on Hotel street should offer their plant to the Territory on condition that a Board of Trustees be constituted to manage its affairs consisting, say of nine members, four of whom to hold office for life and to be self-propagating shall be chosen by the donors, four to serve for stated terms shall be appointed by the Governor who himself shall be the ninth member c.v-oflicio and on the further condition that the Territory appropriate at least a minimum sum annually for its support. Will the Territory decline this offer? Could not some of our leading commercial men render a declination practically impossible by financial gifts which should insure to the city a library worthy of its size, its h'gh degree of intelligence and its conglomerate population? It is even conceivable that Mr. Carnegie would gladly aid a movement of this character. Very wisely his gifts are always conditioned on a goodly measure of government support. No public library should be established without this kind of constant popular backing. Local Option Senator Dickey's bill which is printed on another page merits the serious consideration of every one in the community. The first thing that commends it is its fairness to all parties. Temperance people often allow their view of the evils of strong drink to obscure their sense of justice. The liquor seller has his rights as well as any other member of the body politic. Society has fostered his creation or evolution. Society is responsible for him and therefore must treat him fairly. His business while legally pursued must not be taken from him without giving him both a chance to be heard in his defence and time to adjust his affairs or without appeal to the opinion. supreme authority—public Senator Dickey's bill recognizes this truth. It treats the liquor dealer fairly. It puts the whole question of the sale of intoxicants where it belongs upon the intelligence and conscience of the people. It says to the liquor dealer and to the advocate of no license "Prove jour case. The people are the jury. If you convince them you have them behind you to enforce the only sovereign dictate among men, that of public opinion." And the proposed bill does this without cost to either side. At every election the question must come up as a matter of course and be decided by the will of the majority. Again its feasibility recommends it strongly. It is simple, calls for no machinery, proposes no radicalism, offers no inducements to litigation and is proving its practicability in many parts of the United States. A third consideration in its favor is its address to the intelligence. The proposition is a challenge to both sides in the liquor controversy to train the mind of the electorate. Such a bill is a mighty aid to the cause of public education. We need this kind of thing in Hawaii more than in any section of the country except Porto Rico and the Philippines, because of the greatness of the task before us in training Hawaiians and Asiatics in the intelligent use of the ballot. The more frequently such referendums not only on this question but upon other matters of public policy may be had, the better for the future of these Islands. Every two years the forces of license and of restraint will line up to convince young and old and the result must be progress. Still further this bill proposes a stated appeal to conscience. Most political questions are matters of policy and address the prudential faculty. The liquor question enters the realm of conscience and thus trains the higher powers of the human soul. We need such �5 THE FRIEND appeals more and more frequently in a republic. We are forever splitting on issues dubbed democratic and republican. Here is a question which moves in the realm of the higher manhood. By all means let us have this biennial opportunity to speak to the conscience of the voter and thus train his loftier faculties. Finally the issue is with the moral will. The hardest thing a man has to do is to learn to say no, no to the lower nature, no to mere complacency, no to evils that threaten manhood, the family, the nation, human society itself. Senator Dickey's bill proposes at regular intervals an appeal to this power to say "ho" in every voter. The friend prays the Legislature to grant this privilege to the citizenship of our Territory.. The County Scheme It is clear that county government is not desired by the intelligence and moral worth of the Territory.' Upon its face it smacks of jobbery. Its purpose seems to be to create offices, useless offices. Its only outcome promises to be the waste of the people's money. Why should not the whole project be condemned kindly, wisely but firmly by all true patriots? There is, however, a healthy demand underlying the movement in its favor. The people desire to participate more directly in their own government. Why not grant this demand? It can be done in two ways, first by the creation of town government after the New England pattern and second by the use of the referendum upon questions in which our electorate can be educated. With regard to the referendum it may be said that resort to this expedient should at first be had with caution. Senator Dickey's local option bill opens the way to its wise use. Gradually it may be employed more widely as our voters grow in intelligent use of the ballot. The town meeting, however, might be established at once. Certain simple local matters might at the outset be relegated to the towns and the ideal of public service as an honor and privilege might be fostered by the general policy of official positions without pay. Difficulties doubtless would beset the inauguration of such a measure but it is certainly not impossible. Is it not worth trial ? Civic Federation A movement which may mean much for the future of this Territory was inaugurated last Thursday in the Chamber of Commerce when a company of business and professional men gathered to consider the question of a federation whose object should be "to aid in se- curing good government through the religious interest.

Dcs Moines of course achieved a new high water mark for the denomination. It gathered a remarkable assemblage of giants. The faces of some were missed, notably the brothers Moore of Harvard, Gordon of Boston and Gunaaulus of Chicago. But there was so much real eloquence, such a plethora of good things that no one could take all in. Dr. Bradford of Montclair, pastor of the second largest church in New Jersey, struck the keynote in the present day •ton of the Congregational Churches by voicing the demand for closer organization. His successor Dr. Gladden of Columbus, known the world over for his splendid championship of social brotherhood and faithfulness to the demands of citizenship, was elected on the platform of service to the whole Church. He was chosen because his whole life has been an echo of Jesus" declaration "not to be ministered unto but to minister" and now the Churches here called Mm to the honored post of chief servant. We have no bishops in the Church, but we do have chiefs as defined by our Lord "He that is greatest among you shall be your servant." Dr. Gladden is even now going about the country spending himself in the onerous service to which he was elected. Another sturdy son of New England who has risen to the command of one of America's greatest Universities, President Cyrus Northrup of Minnesota stood forth as one of the leaders in the Council. Orator, wit, matchless presiding officer, and consumate organizer, President Northrup enlivened the sessions with his quick sallies, his keen repartee, his genial presence and his noble thought. His seventy years sit lightly upon his broad shoulders and his splendid voice rolls forth as gloriously as in the days of old when he taught us youngsters at Vale. It was a rare treat to be his comrade, for a full week sharing the same hotel room. Stories of his encounters with other giants of the rostrum were freely circulated by the delegates but none that showed him issuing from any conflict second best.

It was not passed off as Obookiah's, however. Memory beats the kodak in abi'ity to picture the spiritual. It would be hard to photograph enthusiasm for Hawaii, but fortunately not to recognize jr lecall it. It manifested itself in varied fashion as when President Northrup dramatically exclaimed while the Council applauded, "We are with you. We will do all you want," or young men preparing for the ministry sought out the Board's representative to offer themselves for service, or the principal of a fine Girls' Preparatory School in New Jersey, a most talented lady said, "Is there a place for me there?

Hawaii's and Hawaii's opportunity moves men. It does it because it should, for it is unique and the King's business here requires haste.

Hence for one day's rest we sought God's exposition of His glory in the matchless gorge painted with the colors of Paradise in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Human language is a poor useless instrument for recording what we saw in that assembly hall of the spirits of the air as we wound our way down into the depths, skirted the awful edge, stood with uncovered head in the presence of the sun's departing majesty as he touched with a radiance and a strange uncanny prodigality of hue seen nowhere else on earth the sculptured peaks and yawning chasms of that sublime and aw- ful chaos.

Its leading men were the anti-slavery giants of that period. All over the Northern States and in not a few places at the South it had its fearless workers and warm sympathizers. It was in close association with the famous underground railway wdiich transported so many slaves safe over the border into freedom-loving Canada. After the war this association entered the field to educate the colored man for citizenship. Hampton, Fisk, Tuskegee, Talladega, Atlanta and many other institutions in the Southland wdiose names are sacred to Americans could never have been without this Society. Gradually its scope broadened. Indians, Chinese, mountain whites, Eskimos, Porto Ricans, Japanese have all been included in its ministrations and among them all it maintains churches and schools. Its aim has been to provide industrial, intellectual, moral and religious leadership for the people of these races within the greater United States. When therefore Hawaii knocked at its doors it gladly heard. For the first year of co-operation it has voted us $6,000 to enlarge our work. This Society has always maintained its undenominational character. Among its warmest supporters, most generous benefactors and successful workers, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists and many others have been numbered. It is a splendid augury for Hawaii that a Society of such broad aims and such wide sympathies should come to its assistance. BOARD DOINGS. At its January meeting the Hawaiian Board heard the Secretary's report of the results of the visit of the delegation to the mainland and requested its publication in the daily press. It afterwards appeared in the Advertiser by courtesy of the editor. Dr. Baker of Kona sat as a corresponding member and gave a deeply interesting account of the progress of the work in West Hawaii. It is long since the Board has listened to such a delightful resume. The engagement of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Rath to work in Honolulu was ratified. They are expected March I and will probably live in Palama. The secretary was instructed to correspond with a number of men desirous of coming to this Territory to engage in Christian work. Rev. Stephen L. Desha of Hilo was offered the privilege of a two years' course of study in the mainland at Chicago. No �9 THE FRIEND word has come from him yet as to whether he will accept the offer. It is a rare chance. Messrs. K. Koinuro and M. Nagayama were requested to come to the territory for evangelistic work. These two gentlemen are studying at present in the Eastern States. Steps were taken to push evangelistic work in Kakaako and among Japanese families especially women in the field of the Makiki church. The Board decided to send Rev. Mr. Thwing to China to advance the interests of our work among the Chinese of this Territory. He will probably leave Honolulu during this month. A number of plans for increasing the efficiency of our Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese Departments were discussed and it was decided to follow them out enthusiastically. Notwithstanding the press of business engagements at the opening of the year the meeting was largely attended by Honolulu business members and great interest was manifested. D. S. ENORMOUS IRRIGATION ON OAHU FROM ARTESIAN WELLS. "Wonderful Tunneling in Hawaii" was the title of an article in the January issue of The Friend, which described a very remarkable advance just made in supplying surface water for irrigation, as accomplished by means of an immense use of tunnels underneath rug- ged mountain ridges thereby reaching copious streams which have hitherto seemed inaccessible. The writer is told that the great interest evinced in that article calls on him to supplement it by a sketch of the older and less novel but even more remarkable growth of irrigation by means of pumping from artesian wells. The former topic invited notice on account of its novelty. But the artesian system of irrigation existing chiefly on Oahu, although somewhat familiar to our readers on this Island, is not only more peculiar than the tunneling, but confers irrigation on arid lands to a far larger extent than upon any other island of the group. This will be seen by the following figures: the artesian wells on Oahu are yielding a daily supply of from 250 to 300 millions of gallons of water. The new tunnels on Maui and Kauai have added 175 millions of gallons to a previous daily supply of water considerably less. Artesian wells first began to be bored in the city of Honolulu about the year 1880, when the late Judge Lawrence McCully, at his residence in Pawaa, con-' which are pumped by an electric motor. trary to general expectation, struck The power for this is generated two water at a depth of several hundred feet, miles inland by a small stream of several which rose to a height of 42 feet above hundred feet pressure issuing from a sea level,, making a valuable flowing well tunnel penetrating the heart of Kaala irrigating a large breadth of land.

Yet all agreed that the present might prove a critical time in relation to our Sunday Law if Christian people remain indifferent to the course of events. It is becoming clearer every day that there exists an irrepressible conflict between opposite convictions of men with respect to the sanctity of the Sabbath day. We are laying the foundations of a new State in the Pacific. We are in danger of following the lead of California, the only state in the Union having no Sabbath law. As Christian people we should make known to legislators our desire that the Sabbath Law be preserved, otherwise we may soon find our Sabbath undefended by law. And a defenseless Sabbath, assailed by covetousness intensified by competition, will retain its place in our communities with greatest difficulty, or be as completely abolished as it was in France by the Revolution.

At every general election held in the Territory of Hawaii after the passage of this act the question of the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be presented to the voters of each election precinct. The ballots to be used at such election for this purpose shall be of such color and size as shall be selected by the Secretary of the Territory and shall read as follows: "Shall the sale of intoxicating liquors be licensed in this precinct during the next two years?" YES NO | II And the voter shall indicate his option making a cross in the space on the right side of the ballot prepared for that purpose. The rules and regulations for voting for members of the Legislature shall apply to voting on this question as far as practicable. Section 2. If a majority at any such election in any precinct shall vote "Yes" the general laws in relation to licensing the sale of intoxicating liquors shall by 11 have force and effect in such precinct, 1 them half Chinese; but the Hawaiian but if a majority at such election shall women are not fruitful.

Training schools for both sexes have wrought a profoundly beneficial work. Established under a reign of liberty and light, the Hawaiian people have made much progress. Less ardent, less thirsting for righteousness than sixty years ago, their consciences are more intelligent, more civilized. A Christian people they are substantially, in a general sense, and have been for nearly seventy years, as truly as our British ancestors were such four hundred years ago. And this Hawaiian Christianity has been the nursery and breeding-ground for the deep-rooted Christian civilization of Hawaii of to-day, America's "brilliant headlight" towards the Orient. S. E. B.

Illinois, Nov. 21, 1904, of age. His parents wer missionaries of the American Board t these Islands. His father Rev. D. B Lyman, was the founder, and until hi death, the principal of the Hilo Board ing School, now conducted by hi grand-son, Mr. Levi C. Lyman. Dr. Lyman was one of the earlies scholars of the Punahou school, now known as Oahu College, and was gradu at <*j years �THE FRIEND from Williams' College in 1858, being the valedictorian of the class, then studied medicine in Harvard Medical School, and in the New York College of Physicians. He married Miss Sarah Kitredge Clark of Honolulu, taking his bride to Chicago where he soon established a fine practice. Their home on Ashland Boulevard was the rendezvous of a wide circle of Hawaiian friends when passing through the great city of the West. From boyhood Henry Lyman was an insatiable reader. Like several ot tlie children of the pioneer missionaries, in the isolation of their earliest years they became, in infancy, infatuated with books, and in the first decade of life, through the medium of good reading, entered into an acquaintance with the wide realm of the thought of the ages. For such, infancy is cut short, boyhood is omitted, and manhood entered upon early. Dr. Lyman was a man of great learning, of wide reading, and of the most thorough acquaintance with the foremost thought of his profession, standing among the highest of the greatest physicians of this country and of the world. If so broadly cultured a physician can be said to have a speciality in his profession, his was Insanity and Nervous Diseases. He was the author of several medical works, among them, "The Family Physician," "Insomonia and the Disorders of Sleep." His work upon nervous diseases is considered as one of the highest authorities in this department of medicine. Among the pleasures of his later studious life was an annual visit to Washington to attend the yearly meeting of a society consisting of one hundred of the most eminent physicians of the world, of which society he was one year the president. He was a promoter and founder of a leading Medical Institution of Chicago, Rush College, of which he was for many years the Dean. He was greatly beloved and honored by the students and graduates of this Medical College, some of whom are to be found upon these Islands. He was the physician of the students of the Chicago Congregational Theological Seminary, usually serving them without charge, and was also a professor in this Seminary, giving occasional lectures on hygiene. These students were always welcome in his beautiful home. He possessed a wonderful memory, which placed at his immediate command ate 13 the treasures of a life of constant study work, and eased the burden of the manand reading; and yet with all his great agement.

His wife who was for thirty-eight years his able help meet in all his work, left for the better land in 1900. His four daughters, two married, and two unmarried, survive their parents. (). H. G. A CHAPTER OF ADVANCE. Kawaiahao Seminary opened in September with an exceptionally prompt return of the pupils. At the end of the first month, practically all who are now registered were in attendance. The enrollment at the close of the first term is eighty-four, with an average attendance of seventy-eight. Ten or twelve new pupils are expected next term. The work proceeds this year, with one or two exceptions, along the usual lines, but with a prospect of greater efficiency through the possession of much-needed improvements and equipment. A notably capable teacher has been secured for the weaving, under whom it is expected that the work will be so improved as to open to our products the market of the local curio stores. ()nly what was absolutely necessary the comfort of the pupils and the continuance of the work, has been attempted in the way of repairs and improvements to the building and its equipment. A new building and location are so sorely needed, that it has been deemed best to make no more outlay than necessity demanded, upon the one now occupied. But such expenditure as has been madt of the additional funds raised last year, has greatly facilitated the to improvements. A feature of the work which is becoming encouraging is a tendency on the part of parents and relatives of pupils, to remember the school with an occasional gift. Some half dozen sacks of potatoes have been received this year from such sources, also other vegetables, honey and fish. The day before Christmas, a pupil who had gone home for the holidays presented herself at the school with a fine live chicken dangling from one hand, and two lobsters from the other,—her father's present to the school. In sharp contrast to these loyal parents, and an excellent foil for them, is one recently encountered, who on finding a bottle of iodine, marked "poison" by the bedside of his sick daughter, expressed his suspicions with no uncertain sound, and straightway removed the patient to regions which he considered more conducive to longevity. Happily, such ignorant distrust is rare. By its regular friends the school was most kindly remembered at Christmas time. A pig and four chickens were sent for the pupils' luau, by a Chinese tradesman, candy and nuts from the New England Bakery and Lewis & Co., boxes of apples from Mrs. S. N. Castle and Mrs. J. B. Atherton, a box of oranges from Yee Hop & Co., a fivegallon can of honey from Kauai, and buns from the Y. W. C. A. The health of the school has been remarkably good,—a blessing which we K. C. M. hope will continue. ALEXANDER HOUSE, WAILUKU, MAUI. In order to keep our friends aware of the vitality of Alexander House it may be permissible to refer to some items necessarily omitted from the December "Friend." ( )ne evening twenty-nine boys were entertained by phonographic music through the kindness of Mrs. Scott. �14 The concert given in November was a success, and largely so because of the piano and vocal music rendered by Mrs. F. C. Atherton and the Indian-club work by Mr. Atherton. Mrs. Atherton played most excellently in the farce given December i. We feel very grateful to these friends for their cheerful help in many ways. The beautiful illustrations in "Country Life in America," subscribed for by Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Penhallow, are a delight to the children. Since the Christmas holidays the average attendance at the girls' classes has been 13 and in the evening 12. The Kindergarten enrollment is 70. A mother's meeting was held January 19. It is expected that the mothers will be invited once each month. Thirty-two Chinese and Japanese girls were invited to a party Saturday afternoon, January 21. At these occasions the workers feel rich in the ownership of 4 dozen each of plates, glasses and cups, (bought with the concert proceeds), and of saucers given by friends whose name we suspect is Case. The reading club and Miss Laura Wells have given several books to the library. We are glad some of them are adapted to children of which class of books we are in great need. E. A. B. THE FRIEND We have at this place one family of believers in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. A. Fernandes, Jr. These brethren have been of us a great help and encouragement. Mrs. Fernandes is very dear to us, of a sweet disposition, an untiring zeal and devotion for the cause, she has been an inspiration to us. May God bless them, and give them spiritual strength to go forward, scattering sunshine in the midst of darkness, with their consecrated lives in the name of our dear Lord. On October 16th last, we organized a Sunday School at Hamakuapoko with 32 children, 25 of these being Portuguese, and balance, native and Porto Ricans. Today we have 61 enrolled, and of these 36 are Portuguese, the others being of different nationalities. The average attendance at this school for the last three months, was 35; the highest number attending at any one time of enrolled scholars, was 56, and the lowest 14. The Sunday previous to this the attendance was 16. The small attendance on these two Sundays, was caused by outside interference. But stirred to stronger activity by this opposition, we went to work, and with our Heavenly Father's help succeeded in getting 46 to attend the following Sun- services at the Paia Chapel, leavissg at the present time about $5 in treasury. Our aim shall be, with God's help, to work and live for the salvation of souls among these people, forgetting not the example of our Saviour, who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.

No. 3 ThG e overnor's Message This document is worthy of the Territory and its public-spirited Governor. The first impression gained after a careful reading is its up-to-dateness. The recommendations for voting machines, in favor of revenue producing public improvements, advocating the imposition of an inheritance tax and suggesting the taxing of franchises, are all in the line of the demands of the age. Some critics may suggest that the Governor might have indicated under the head of revenue producing improvements certain specific public works that would he sure to prove lucrative to the Territory. Bat this seems to us to be asking too much. The representatives <>f the people should be left to devise such details themselves. The financial part of the message is an excellent bit of work. The delrt figures are very serious indeed and the warning uttered by the Governor is none too strong. ()ne naturally questions why Mr. Carter should have singled out only the Honolulu Rapid Transit and the telephone companies to the exclusion of the ()ahu Railroad, in bis recommendation of a franchise tax. No favoritism should be shown to any corporation operating a public utility. All deserve to be treated alike. ()ne of the best things in the message is the gloveless handling of the narrow-minded suggestion that Asiatics be debarred the privilege of public education. Fifty years from now the Asiatic element in America's population will be esteemed on a level with the much vaunted immigration from northern Europe, the decline in which of late years is so greatly deplored throughout the country. .Isiii will repay America 200 cents on every dollar of material and moral values expended upon her.

It would be a very God and took courage." graceful thing for a number of large- sound this note. It is the most Twenspirited men in Hawaii to send to the tieth-century like suggestion in his fine Treasury of this Society a gift in apprc- message. By all means let us have such T. R. �4 revenue producers. If the Government should convert the upper level reach of Nuuanu valley into a great reservoir— a comparatively simple and inexpensive procedure,—it would at once create a water supply adecpiate to all the future needs of this city and would be in a position to manufacture, at a trifling cost, electricity enough not only to light its streets, but to furnish light, power and perhaps heat to the people at low rates, besides realizing a handsome profit. Why not? If the great plantations, l'uunene, Makaweli, Waialua, Wailuku and Lahaina can harness the streams, surely the Territory can do the same and reap a golden harvest for its own support. Complaints are constantly heard in reference to the inadequacy of our telephone system. Common complaint has it that fewcities have a system so unsatisfactory or where such discourtesy and lack of attention is shown the public by the employees at the "Central" as Honolulu. The Territory could install a telephone system on all the Islands which would be efficient and would bring in a welcome revenue. Why not expend some of the loan fund on such improvements as these, which will help to pay off our indebtedness and reduce our burdensome taxes? Statistics These are coming in from the various churches after a slow fashion. The likelihood is that Hawaii will just succeed in crawling into the Year Hook at the eleventh hour. Next year we must do better. We ought to be the banner Territory, and every nerve will be strained to bring this about in 1906. Our churches make a very poor showing in benevolences. A half century ago the story was vitally different. The missionary leaders believed that a Christian who did not give was a Christian who did not live. In the slow decline of the churches during the last 40 years, giving has lessened. There must be a new campaign of education. Every church without some figures to its credit in the column of contributions to Home and Foreign missions should consider itself disgraced. The local Associations without exception voted last year that each church should make semi-annual contributions to both the Hawaiian Roard for Home Missions, and the American Hoard of Foreign Missions. What has been the result ? ( hit of a total of 83 churches, 2J have contributed to the Home Hoard and 10 to the Foreign Board. Only one Japanese church out of 13, and only two Chinese churches out of 6 report a cent given to either cause. The Portuguese have done better, two of their three churches having given to {he Hawaiian Board and THE FRIEND. one to the American Hoard. The ban- done quietly with no public notice.

In another column we publish a sketch of that Nestor among religious leaders in this Territory, Rev. Edward (I. Beckwith, 1). I)., whom every one delights to honor. We sympathize deeply with the Makawao Church in being called upon to part with a pastor, so beloved, so rich in spiritual experience, so inspiring a preacher, so sympathetic in personal ministration. We rejoice that he is spared to give the benediction of his presence and counsel. Dr. Beckwith has done rare service and has laid in bis debt hundreds of persons in Hawaii who look up to him as spiritual leader and faithful teacher. We congratulate him upon the privilege of enjoying the fruits of his abundant labors and of listening to the blessings pronounced upon him by those whom he has led into the largeness of the spiritual life. May he continue long with us to guide with his wisdom and inspire with bis spirit. SOMETHING NEW IN EVANGELISM. In a little village in South Wales last November a religious movement began so quietly and so spontaneously that no one has as yet been able to point to its cause or its initial manifestation. The piercing light of investigation at the hands of modern newspaper men, than whom no keener spiers-out of truth have ever existed, has been turned full upon the whole history of this contemporaneous phenomenon,'and the result is a frank "I do not know" to the question of howit originated. Campbell Morgan puts it thus: "In the name of God let us all cease trying to find the origin of the movement. At least let us cease trying to trace it to any one man or convention. You cannot trace it, and yet I will trace it tonight. Whence has it come? All over Wales—l am giving you roughly the result of the questioning of fifty or more persons at random in the week—a praying remnant has been agonizing before God about the state of the beloved land, and it is through that the answer of fire has come. You tell me that the revival originates with Roberts. I tell you that Roberts is a product of the revival. You tell me that it began in an Endeavor meeting, where a dear girl bore testimony. I tell you that was part of the result of a revival breaking out everywhere." Thus here and there the fire kindled until the whole of Wales was ablaze and in five short weeks more than 20,000 persons were added to the churches. The characteristics of the movement have been song, prayer, tes- Hut today the world generally is unusually prosperous. God has filled man's lap with money, and lo! the chief goods of the world are found useless to satisfy the longings of the human spirit. The old scripture experience is being reenacted "And He gave them their request, Hut sent leanness into their soul." The terrible exposures of rottenness of character made by Miss Tarhell, Ray Hakcr, Lincoln Steffens, Stannard Thomas W. Lawson and others in high places, the widespread conviction awakened by these pictures in the inmost souls of the readers "Alas the same sin is dormant in my own heart," the revelation of the blighting effects of love of money, the consciousness that our boasted civilization is being found guilty of crimes that unrepentcd must damn it forever, the awful peril of doom for the race and for the nation as well as for the individual whom Mammon rules— all these are disclosing our leanness of soul. We are rich, yet in truth we are ineffably poor. True religion has died in thousands of souls who go to Church, and pass through the round of pious observance as well as in myriads of the careless who live but for the day. This is a blessed sickness which God is causing. And no place on earth needs it more than Hawaii. Go wherever you please in these Islands. Everywhere you will find material requests granted by (iod. side by side with leanness of soul. Would that the Spirit might move here, exposing our selfishness, our contentment with self, our spiritual poverty. Somewhere there is a repenting remnant. Let it get on its knees and stay there in sackcloth and prayer until God begins to stir the dry bones. '.lie city was stirred, the saloons even D.

Laymen have awakened to their responsibility for the salvation of their companions. It has been a wonderfully joyous experience. Its thoroughgoing character is attested by the changes it has wrought in conduct. The commissioner sent to investigate the conditions in Wales by the London Christian World says: "A revival which reconciles people who have not spoken to each other for years, which reunites separated husbands and wives, which restores prodigal sons and daughters to heart-broken parents, which amazes tradesmen by filling their tills with money they had given up as hopelessly bad debts, which stops swearing, drinking, gambling and scamping of work, which makes advocates declare that there is no work for them in the police courts, which brings Magdalens by the score from the streets to the "set fawr" or "big pew," where the penitents are dealt with, which closes low drinking clubs by members almost to a man returning their tickets of membership, which sends betting bookmakers back to earn their living in the colliery or in their old trades —this is a revival that was bound to win the respect of even the non-churchgoing man in the street." Cross the ocean now and come to the staid old town of Schenectady in New York State. Here the churches as usual united to observe the Week of Prayer. The newest pastor in town, a fresh voice, was asked to do the speaking. There was nothing especially moving in the message and it was enforced with none of the familiar methods of present day revivals.

During the years of his admin- istration, 1854 to 1859, there was in atthe school a company of \ollng people who were waiting to receive in their education the formative influence of just such a strong character. They were sons and daughters of the early missionaries, and to mention them would Ik- to mention many leading names of these Islands. Valuable as was the work which he did previously as principal of the Royal School,—his first charge here, 1851-54—in moulding Hawaiians of noble and royal blood, it was nothing to what he achieved at Punahou in helping to make the characters of the future white citizens whose influence has now been felt for a generation, both in Hawaii and 011 the mainland. During the stormy days of 1803, and the six previous years of his pastorate of Central Union church, perhaps the most critical period of our history, these same sons and daughters, now heads of households, looked to him again for spiritual guidance. No teacher ever did more for his pupils, and no pupils ever idolized their teacher with a stronger affection. It is his remark that "No man was ever more fortunate in his pupils," and their reply is that no man ever came more opportunely to bis post, or filled it better, than Dr. Heckwith. They believe that he has still before him years of continued usefulness and influence, and they wish him and his companion of more than fifty years the blessings of a revered old age, in the sunshine of children and grandchildren and a large circle of loving friends.

It is here that these nations first join hand in friendly intercourse across the wide Pacific. At these islands, in the very center of the ocean's CTOSI roads, China has her first view of the life and civilization of her Occidental neighbor. Her officials, her statesmen, her teachers and scholars, on reaching Honolulu, see for the first time a real American city. The relations between the Chinese and Americans of Hawaii have always been most friendly, and it is here in this Eastern center of American life that the strongest effort should be put forth, to build up the best evangelistic educational and social work, for the Chinese who have come among us. TIIK ( lIINKSK OK HAWAII. For more than fifty years the Chinese have I-ved in these islands, year by year coming in larger numbers, until just before the annexation to the United States, they numbered about 39.000. In earlier times, they carried on an extensive trade in sandalwood with the chiefs of old Hawaii, so that even now the �8 THE FRIEND. islands are known to all the Chinese by the name of "Tan Heung Shan" or "Sandlewood Mountain." Much of the development of the islands, the sugar industry, the rice plantations, has been due to these steady working people. Although since becoming a part of the United States, their numbers have been decreasing, they are today one of the best and most reliable classes of our population. Travelers from California have often remarked that the Chinese of Honolulu seem to be a better class, as a rule, than those of San Erancisco. Why is it so? They are exactly the same kind of people as those in California, all coining from much the same districts of South China. Hut in Hawaii the Chinese have been better treated, have been given a fairer chance than on the mainland. They have been protected and trusted, and have as a rule well proved themselves worthy of the kindly feeling extended to them. If you should visit among the Christian homes of Honolulu today, you would find many of the brightest, pleasantest and in every way quite American homes, those of the Chinese. In the schools they are among the most industrious and capable of the students. They have proved themselves faithful in positions of trust. Some of them have already returned to China, and are putting their education and experience to g 1 use in helping their own people to a larger civilization. Some are now studying in Japan and making ready to help in the forward movement for China. CHRISTIAN WORK BOt THE CHINESE ciety.

His son, a graduate of Mills Institute, is an active Christian young man in Honolulu today; he plays the large pipe organ in the Chinese Church, as well as giving good assistance in the Sunday School work.

The Federation numbers men of all shades of opinion upon the liquor question, drinkers and abstainers, saloon men and churchmen, those who favor high and low ami no license. Hut the Local ( Iption Hill is a measure Upon which all these can unite as a perfectly fair and American solution of the difficulties presented by the saloon problem. Doubtless no one will be better pleased with a Local Option Law than the Governor, upon whom in the last analysis the duty devolves of deciding where saloons shall be located. This power should be vested in the people alone. What they decide should hold. The Local Option Hill in effect relieves the Executive of this heavy burden and lets the people make the decision. The Civic Federation in cham- pioning this measure puts itself squarely upon the side of the entire people, otherwise taking no part in the mooted question of saloon restriction or expansion. If the Local Option Hill becomes law, the members of the Federation will still divideindividually onthe matter of license and no license. It should be thoroughly understood that this Hill is as clearly in the interests of license advocates as of no-license advocates. In fact, when it was recently discussed in the Executive Committee of the Federation it was valientlv championed by friends both of licensing saloons and non-licensing them.

' .Erie �THE FRIEND INTERESTS THAT BIAS JUDGMENT. The Governor says in his message: "We allow no man to be a judge of his own cause, because his interests would certainly bias his judgment, and it is not improbable would corrupt his integrity." Now, the Governor was very properly referring to the astonishing presumption on the part of liquor dealers that they were competent to make laws on the subject of liquor. "Bias," and to "judgment"? That's putting it mildly enough, Governor Cater, and you earn our admiration for moderate language. Now. in ethics, as in dressmaking, we take it that a "bias" is a sort of acute angle—a departure from the main line, as it were. Hence a bias of judgment might imply a somewhat angular "gore" in a man's fairness. Liquor dealers making laws in the interests of the community I That does not constitute a "bias": it's diametrically apposed to the public welfare. You see. your liquor man absolutely cannot legislate in the interests of the public and of himself at the same time. Everyone admits that the saloon is merely toler- ated, and that the business of legislation is to check the evils of drink, not foster them. This legal maxim is often lost sight of, due to the fact that we have stood saloons so long that they seem to have a sort of "adverse possession." Childlike and bland, wasn't it, —that bill published in our morning paper and proposed for legislative indorsement and coming confessedly from liquor men? And now they are combined, we are told, to defeat the Governor at all hazards. It was only the other day that we read of their efforts to back up a law-breaking saloon-keeper to resist the Governor. And why? Because he used bis power in refusing to reissue a license. There's where the rub is. The saloons want to curtail the Governor's discretionary power. Where are the public's interests, think you, in this fight? "Rights?" Aye, the saloon men may have a few, due to our criminal negligence. "Wrongs?" The people suffer them right along, and they far and away counter-balance the rights of saloon men. Moral:—Let's back up the Governor. TOO HIGH! It's the water rate. Not that people haven't noticed it; we think they have. What they are after is the remedy. Not every one can sink a well (we know of some that have) for the cost is large and many live above the thirty-two feet line. 11 per thousand gallons was put so high that the meter proved a forlorn hope. The officials seem to be living within their instructions and say they are powerless; they admit the rate is too high. What then? Is the necessity for revenue so great that the rates must be kept Up? Then woe betide taxpayer and property owner when county and municipal government gets its whack at him. It's the sewer rate, too. Many have connected with the sewer, though it We hardly goes past their doors. blame them, and as long as their places are sanitary (there must be considerable presumption to the contrary) they can hardly be forced to connect, as the law now stands. Think of a man paying nearly as much to get rid of waste water as he pays for fresh supplies from the mains! It really looks as though it Were money in a man's pocket if he let some one else own his home. Let landlordism be henceforth named a luxury. not MUSIC FESTIVAL. There is progress to be noted. Two choruses, "The Lord Is Great" and "March of ()ur Nation," are already in the hands of the choruses. The former is from Mendelssohn's "Athalie" and the music is popularly known as the "March of the Priests." The second is a stirring patriotic march by Adam Geibel. Both will be enjoyed by the young people w ho are to render them. Nothing new can be said about a soloist. Enquiry is being made on the Coast, and something can be reported soon. Variety on the programme is assured by more instrumental work and greater diversity in the character of the chorus selections. T. R. THE COUSINS' SOCIETY. Under date of January 24, our cousin Mrs. Frances S. Loomis writes to Miss M. A. Chamberlain from her home in Rochester, Wis. Probably Mrs. P.G. Taylor and Dr. Hi shop are the only persons surviving here who remember Mrs. Loomis' grandparents, the Ruggleses, who occupied the Kuapehu station in Kona in the early thirties. Mrs. L. tells of her youngest son Edward, of [6, making a line start at Hcloit College, "the youngest and smallest boy in college." Mr. Loomis had been suffering from a series of disasters, including broken ribs, and a bad carbuncle. A visit from a three-year-old grand-daughter, Frances L., is mentioned, and her going through all the motions of telephoning orders to butcher, grocer, etc., winding up with "Central, you keep me waiting—l don't want to rc]x>rt you, but it may be necessary." There seems to be controversy which of the tots Grandma likes best. The triplet boys are mentioned, who had at Christmas only horns and a mouth organ each—truly a strong band. A descriptive paragraph has true literamerit: "I wonder if you would care to look Upon my landscape for a few minutes? I can see Scott's Hill from my window, the highest point in the county; and the wagon road winding over it. The ground is covered with snow, and a sleet upon it causes a glow and sparkle which is beautiful in the afternoon sun. The trees on the hill standing out against the white background show each branch ry and at this distance look soft and velvety. "A man is coining with a loaded bobsled and two big horses, all in a cloud of steam from their breathing, and the man is thrashing his arms to keep warm. "Tin school children art 1 hurrying home, laughing and shouting, and I can see my neighbor splitting kindling-wood, and taking in the night's supply of wood and coal. "There is a maple tree in front of my window with a last year's bird's nest in it, from which flutter several strings. The robin will be back in the spring and build Up the new nest on the ruins of the old one. It is now a tbree-storv sort of an affair." That lively winter picture stirs one's mind almost with homesickness. "I hope to hear from you soon and favorably. Our times are in God's bands, and we must wait on Him. I have been wondering why it was necessary for me to be laid Up for the last three weeks— ami have tried to be patient. Hut I setso much to do, and want to be up and at it." There are many aged and enfeebled missionary cousins in Hawaii whose hearts can respond to Cousin Loomis. S. E. 15. OUR NEW OUTSTATION AMONG THE CHINESE. Punaluu, Oahu, Feb. 16, 1905. Dear Sir Mr. Richards 1 am very glad to found a good opportunity here, and thank the true God to prepare the way before I come. Now I met some good friends here, and tell about the gospel.

All went on their knees and sang, "For You I Am Praying," and as it was time to commence work, the benediction was pronounced, the men marching to their work singing. "Throw Out the Life Line." Mr. David Davis, the manager of this pit, told me he had not heard one of the men swear for over three weeks;—a reThis scene is markable thing indeed. only one, typical of many that are daily taking place in South Wales coal mines, and at which many men are being converted. —Congregationalist. HAWAIIAN ITEMS OF INTEREST ( By a Correspondent of the Rritish Weekly.) I descended the pit other at 6 o'clock the morning. Reaching the bottom, I walked along the "partings" till I reached the "Baltic" seam. My guide, after explaining the workings of the mine, piloted me to a recess in this seam where a number of colliers had assembled. Presently the numbers increased, till over 300 men, each with his safety lamp, were gathered in a strange crowd. Some were seated on the floor; others knelt, numbers were standing. One of the number struck up Diolch Iddo ('Thanks He to Him) this was taken up by the others, and repeated again and again. An old collier jumped up, and told, in Welch, how. after five unsuccessful attempts to get a fellow workman to give his heart to God, he had at the sixth attempt, the previous night,triumphed. Diolch Eddoagan rang through the galleries. Two men prayed simultaneously, one in English and one in Welsh. Before they had finished, from the far end of the seam came the strains—in a rich bass voice—of "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah." In a moment everybody present was singing this beautiful hymn. Never did it sound so impressive as deep down in the bowels of the earth that morning. A dozen colliers of all ages testified at once, and prayer followed prayer in quick succession, when in a truly "encircling gloom" the men sang, "Lead, Kindly Light," many of them swinging their lamps ; one marveled at this great change that had come over these men, whose usual occupation before starting work was singing comic songs and indulging in coarse jest and vulgarity. The ponies, walking between the curve lines on their way to the workings, seemed amazed at the strange sounds and scenes. A brief address in Welsh was delivered by one of the men, who appealed for those who were on their way to glory to show lamps. Hundreds were hoisted aloft, and a few remained on the ground. The owners of the latter were immediately : .Advance in Sugar. During the past few months, the price of raw sugars in New York has advanced from alxnit $67 a ton to nearly $99, at which point it stands quite firm. Tor several years, Hawaii has been nearly without a profit upon our chief product. Finances have Several of been extremely depressed. the weaker plantations have been bankrupted, and the stronger ones have yielded but small dividends. The cause of higher prices is in the continued depression of the beet culture in Europe, and consequent increase of sugar consumption over supply. This seems likely to continue for some time, and makes our financial prospects somewhat brighter. a Brief Boom in Sugar Stocks. Eor sharp there was a short time in January jump in the prices of plantation shares, amounting to 60 per cent, in those of the stronger concerns, and 100 per cent, advance on prices of the weaker ones, many of which had been unduly depressed. A heavy "slump" speedily followed, of from half to two-thirds of the previous advance. The severe lessons of the disastrous "boom" of five years ago were remembered, besides which there were too little spare funds afloat in the community for extensive speculation. A steady advance in plantation values may, however, he reasonably expected. A Serious Drought. While the supply of rain in the islands was well up to the average during the latter part of 1904, there has been next to no rain since the latter part of December, and the drought is beginning to be seriously felt throughout the group. On the other hand, we have enjoyed two months of exceptionally lovely weather. It has been cool, the mercury in Honolulu ranging between a minimum of 560 and maximum of 84°, 0 The generally between 64 0 and 78 sky has continued almost cloudless. There has been a total absence of violent wind, with very little of southerly weather, which is always disagreeable if long continued. . . .In influx of Tourists. An unusualh large number of tourists for a month past have been crowding our hotels and ave- nues of travel, especially to the Volcano. They have been greatly favored by this unusually charming weather, devoid of heat, and calling for good supplies of blankets at night. In fact, hot water bottles in bed are often resorted to. Many globe-tourists have been making a Stopover both on the Japan and Australian routes. All have found unbroken sunshine and spring-like coolness. The commodious steamers on both routes, especially to Japan, have favored this tourist movement. 77ic Legislature. The third 'Territorial Legislature, which convened on the 15th Feb., has gone to work in a businesslike manner, and promises creditable results. Its chief labors will be to fit the public expenditures to the very narrowpublic income, and to deal with the strongly urged County Act, which is also urgently opposed on account of its increased cost of administration. S. E. H. UNITY. By John Greenleaf Whittier. 'This poem was written by Mr. Whittier while he was a guest at the Asquani House. A fair was being held in aid of the little Episcopal church at Holderness, and the people at the hotel were asked to contribute. These lines were Whittier's contribution, and the ladies in charge of the fair received ten dollars for them. They were written in an album now in the possession of a niece of Whittier's Philadelphia friend, |oscph Liddon Pennock.—S. T. Pickard.) Forgive, O Lord, our severing ways, The separate altars that we raise, The varying tongues that speak 'Thy praise! Suffice it now.

This is the reflection which arises upon reading many of the utterances of the local dailies in this season of strenuous battling for the best things in our Territory. The Star has done noble service in its emphasis upon the unearthing of the Iwilei scandal and in the remarkable series of editorials upon this subject. And certainly no better work for manhood in this Territory was ever done than the publication by The Advertiser of March 27 of Dr. Howard A. Kelly's article on the social evil, together with the leading editorial entitled "The Twilci Question," followed a week later by Dr. Day's contribution. Honolulu needs just such plain speaking. This city occupies a peculiar position at the meeting of the two currents of oriental and occidental civilizations. Let vice once gain the upper hand here and we are doomed. Anyone who has studied in Asiatic ports the effects Upon white men of indulgence in social vice knows the awful depths of degradation and disease to which it leads. Every father of a boy. everv mother of a girl should be helped to recognize what Honolulu is facing in tampering with this frightful curse. Dr. Kelly's noble words have double significance here. Every sentence of his magnificent sermon, for such it is, should be burned dee]) in the conscience of every parent in this Territory. We have something more to say about this later on. Mr. Atherton's Letter class which has made Mr. Smiley rich— home lovers. Honolulu needs this class above every other one. Restless, excitement-seeking, carousing jollifiers add little to the wealth and nothing to the real prosperity of a community. But the people who have earned and saved money by self-control and who desire a sober community, blessed with a perfect climate in which to settle in order to educate children and spend their maturer years, are the most productive and helpful residents or visitors a city can secure. Honolulu has unrivaled advantages to offer such people. It can get them if it caters to them. They will help it wonderfully in assimilating the thousands from Asia who are here to be trained into American citizenship. Glorious Day It i: well worth living in this Mid-Pacific Paradise just at this juncture. There ire splendid moral battles being fought here. Evil and good are at it in death grapple. Fverv man and woman with a «oul should be in the arena. Frank, straightforward dealing, shoulder hitting if th.e doughtiest type, is called for. The FRIEND proposes not to mince words in the conflict. Yet everv blow it gives the stroke of a friend. There is no malice in anv of its contentions. Tt believes that good men differ on the most fundamental questions and it heartily respects everv honest opponent. Those two conferences with the Governor on the Sunday Bill were splendidly significant of an era of noble citizenship in this Territory.

Honolulu is not dead but gloriously alive. That Advertiser of March 27 held still another golden contribution—the article by Mr. Frank C. Athcrton. Anvone who has studied conditions in the vicinity of Boston knows how well his statements as to me winning power of no license towns ate substantiated. "Boston's bedrooms" number many such, besides a few in which liquor are sold. Tn general the saloon cities or towns, compared with others equal in size, where no license is enforce 1, show their curse in the form of high U'xes, slow increase of population, stagnation of real estate values and the Sunday like.

The blame for the upon the Christian men of Honolulu, who, when warned previous to election, failed to bestir themselves and force the candidates to pledge no change in the Sunday law on pain of losing their support. As usual, the sons of the Kingdom were caught napping. We have been whipped and deserve to lose. Hut we are not one whit discouraged. Our obvious duty is first to make one more earnest effort to lead the Legislature to repeal the new law and failing this carefully to watch developments, giving the new law a full trial. Then if its provisions are found to foster lawlessness or excess or prove detrimental to public morals, a thorough campaign must be organized to secure better legislation two years hence. Meantime let those who love Hawaii redouble every effort to prevent the passing of laws that will boater up the liquor traffic and pander to vice. The local Promooutcome rests tion Committee will hardly welcome wide advertisment of this Territory as having gone over entirely to Asiatic standards in establishing a wide-open Sunday with few safeguards for the working man's rest day. a yoshimura or Japanese prostitute quarter, and a liquor seller's paradise. American Backbone One of the most hopeful and by all odds the must impressive of Japanese characteristics is what, for want of a better name, may be termed Nipponism. The 'ittle brown man has been called the greatBeing found est borrower in history. minus a civilization some 1200 or more years ago. he imported one from the Asiatic continent: having 110 letters, be took over bodily the Chinese ideographs; without art, he loaned one from Korea; finding his own religion too meager, he accepted what the Hindu Gautama bad to give, and latterly, conscious of the worn out character of some of his earlier finds, he hastened to borrow from the west This is true to a degree, but it is still nearer the facts to say that while from the first day of his authentic history 'be Japanese has had his eye open for pood things, never in appropriating them has be acted as a slave to the foreign point of view. He has put the stamp of his own individuality upon every acquisition. Ife Iris so mixed his own with what he has taken from others that it has ceased to be foreign and become Japanese. He has been consistent with himself and never surrendered an iota of his free spirit. This backbone Quality of being true to himself i* a Splendid trait. Nipponism has made Japan the leading power of Asia, and may yet place her close to the head of the human race. In �5 THE FRIEND strong contrast to this is a certain weakness in the present day native-born American. With him toleration has become such a vice that as in the recent fight to retain the American Sunday on these Islands, the opposition argument has been freely urged that out of regard to the Asiatic's here it is a hardship to insist upon our national rest day. A Japanese could hardly understand such a strange plea. That one of the most distinctive features of the life of the entire nation, a characteristic which has had more to do with the development of its peculiar moral power than almost any other, should be surrendered merely to please aliens, is a proposition which has only to be clearly stated to carry its own condemnation. The same is true of the attitude of Christian management in our plantations towards Buddhism. The Japanese wonders at the lack of Christian cspritc dc corps which leads men to curry favor by giving money to a religion which tliey at heart oppose. The favor such conduct arouses in the astute little brown man is contempt. It is getting to be so that if we can only tack on the designation of "breatdth," "liberality," "toleration" to a scheme which involves the surrender of anything peculiarly American, the bluest-blooded among us will commence leaping on the graves of grandsires, hat in air, to the tunc of "down with old fogyism." Is it not time to call a halt to this movement of surrendering all that is distinctively nationa, at the beck and call of every considerable faction of our population hailing from abroad? America must be progressive, but not at the expense of her own individuality. Local Option The battle is on for this measure. If the believers in "fair play for all" will stand together, this peculiarly American measure can be carried through the Legislature. It is especially necessary that this question should be disassociated entirely from the anti-drink campaign. It is not a prohibition or temperance measure. It is merely putting the question of the location of saloons in the hands of the people, where it belongs. It is good to see that the liquor men perceive this, and some of them are quoted as in favor of the measure. At the recent Senatorial Committee hearing not an Opponent of the Dickey bill showed his face. The lawis so good that 39 states out of the 45 have incorporated the local option feature in their statute books. Experience everywhere is in its favor. It will relieve the Executive of the burden of deciding where to place saloons. It will give opportunity for popular education in civics. It will force saloon men and anti-saloon men to fight their battles in the open, without fear or favor, and the victory will rest with the ablest fighters. The first effect of the passage ot the bill will doubtless be to increase saloons. This will stimulate their opponents to do hard work both in furnishing substitutes —the only rational way socially to fight this ev il this commercial age—and in persuading the people to do away with them. in Central Union Column We add this month a new department, to be in charge of the Pastor of Central Union Church. The close relations sustained by this aggressive organization of liberty-loving Christians to the Hawaiian Board and every other good cause, not only in Honolulu but also throughout the Territory, makes the tidings of its work welcome news to our large circle of readers. This Church never rests on its oars. Its motto is "Advance," and inasmuch as it has the means to forge ahead, the exposition in our columns of the new methods which from time to time it is putting into practice, will prove both a help and a stimulus to all of its sistei Churches. We are anxious to have The Friend justify its name fully in the larger life of the Territory. We wish this, the oldest journal on these Islands, to serve as an advocate in every good cause. No realm—political, civic, social, industrial, moral or religious —must know it as a stranger. Jt is missionary just as the bringers of the Christian religion here were missionary, and this included everything that made for a wider, more wholesome, humaner and better civilization. A part of this large service regards Unchurch life of the Territory. We artglad that Central Union, the strongest ecclesiastical organization of Hawaii-nei, has consented to use our columns as its special medium of communication to the public outside of its own pulpit. We trust that its example will be followed by other churches throughout the Islands. We hereby extend a most cordial invitation to every pastor to send us items of general interest concerning his church. Thus we all may be bound together by ties of ever increasing intimacy and the helpful experiences, as well as the experiments of one, may be shared byall. This is one more step forward in the line of the policy of "Get together" inaugurated the early part of last year. Beautiful Honolulu The Friend rejoices in the manner in which the Research Club is pushing the Tantalus and Punchbowl park schemes. This city might have been made one of the most beautiful in the world. Its narrow streets, now a fixture, may prevent this; nevertheless its possibilities of loveliness are still very great. We may yet have a shore drive from the Iron Works around Diamond Head, and our hill summits may be made to rival anything known elsewhere. Little by little, under the fostering care of the Research Club, the Merchants' Association and the Civic Federation! together with their outgrowth of neighborhood improvement organizations, Honolulu may become famous for the unfolding into rare beauty of its civic spirit. Let us all take hold and make our city a paradise of charm. HONOLULU AND THE SOCIAL EVIL. High Sheriff Henry has succeeded well in focussing public attention upon this unsavory question. In the manner of bis doing this he doubtless blundered. Honest men often do that. It is a question whether his efforts to subject unfortunate women to medical treatment, though bungling, were not, after all, partially justified by the Act to Mitigate. Legal opinion seems divided u|>on the subject of this notorious law and until its status be passed upon by the courts, the question at issue cannot be cleared up. By all means let its constitutionality be determined quickly. In segregating the women at Iwilei, however, the Sheriff was clearly acting in despite of law. Upon the question of brothel keepers the statute is perfectly plain and the Sheriff was bound by bis oath of office to execute that law without fear or favor. Flagrant disregard of this statute deserves censure, however honest the motive. Executive officers have no discretion under such conditions. Meantime let it be added that in the case of an official so upright, so honorable and so faithful as Sheriff Henry, an error of judgment of this nature committed from a sense of duty, with the undoubted backing of uninstructed public opinion and pending legislative action, while meriting rebuke, can be and is forgiven. For the connection of a member of the Hoard of Health with Iwilei no adequate explanation has as yet been made public and if facts are as they have been stated it is difficult to see how the Governor can continue his retention upon the Board. Put the question remains what shall Honolulu do with the Social evil? A large part of the people of this community, including no small number of public-spirited and Christian citizens, answer unhesitatingly, "Segregate and Regulate by Medical Treatment." It is readily seen that this is a twofold proposition. Segregation means the forcible �6 collecting of prostitutes into one section of the city. Regulation includes the registration of all such women for enforced regular medical treatment. It is claimed by those who favor segregation that such women constitute a serious menace to public morals. If scat tered throughout the community they threaten wide contamination, especially of the young. When segregated in one quarter of the city the evil is confined there, immoral men know where to go to find companions in vice and therefore will not be so inclined to threaten with solicitations "our own daughters" on the streets. Meantime the thoroughfares being kept rid of the presence of the women, men themselves will meet with fewer temptations to vice. The advocates of compulsory registration and medical treatment point to the wide prevalence of venereal diseases and insist that it is the duty of the state to prevent as far as possible contamination by diseased women. It is confidently dc dared that this is tin- only "practical" solution of a very vexatious question. An obvious consideration in dealing with any belauded panacea for 8 great human ill is that of practicability. Is it possible to segregate women of this class? This inquiry cannot be settled by any such a Priori declaration as "If the police are determined to segregate them, it can be done." As a matter of human experience it has been found impossible to do this. It never has been done and never can be. Probably Japan has come nearer the goal in this matter than any other historic nation. Put anyone who knows Japanese life intimately can give definite instances and many of them of clandestine prostitution. This is true notwithstanding the fact that in that nation the police know the habits of all the peopk with a minuteness which seems marvelous to an Anglo-Saxon. Even in the Empire of the Rising Sun, under the most favorable conditions possible, segregation is a failure. When the experience of Europe •* questioned with its hundreds of years of experimentation the answer is conclusive. It has been impossible to confine all viei ous women in any Community in one bad quarter. Sheriff Henry has lent all the power of his office to accomplish segregation here and what is the result? In Iwilei he has rounded up, according to his testimony, less than 110 women. A private canvass of the city last September disclosed no less than »3 separate houses of ill fame. Of the uH women reported as in Iwilei lately, 117 were Japanese, 8 were Porto Ricans and 3 were French. Where were the Americans and I lawaiians?

"Segregation does not segregate, just as it has been shown that regulation does not regulate," is its sober conclusion upon this side of the question). A singular defect in the minds of those, who argue for treatment of physical ail* indulgence, is their entire ignoring of the question of the moral infection induced thereby. The New York report wisely remaiks: "< Ine lloes not need a revealed religion or a subtle moral philosophy to teach him that Unrestrained vice results in mental and moral disease and degeneracy far more insidious and far more dangerous to society than any form of physical disincuts traceable to lustful ease." Net the system of state regulation removes every possible governmental rcsl i.iint upon vice so far as men are concerned. "They are left free to in dulge themselves without let or hind ranee.

That any sane woman in Hawaii can lor a moment tolerate the thought "f such a proposition as stale regulation is almost unbelievable. If there are such they are an excellent illustration of the ancient proverb "Win in the gods would destroy they first make mad." A still more fundamental consideration than this of disease. ph) sical or otherwise, is the inquiry "Is the proposed system right ?" To segregate and regulate prostitution is to license it, that is to give to it the protection of the State. Now this evil is essentially repulsive to the moral nature of man the world over. Fouler than theft it ranks next to murder in the category of sin. It has no good side whatever. It clears up nothing t" add that "nun will do it" because the same may with equal truthfulness be said ol cither of these other crimes. The State has no right to legalize any one of them. I Li r Pebel justly remarks, "The more the State endeavors to protect the excesses of men the move will these excesses be indulged." The conclusion of the Committee of Fifteen meets with the "Amen" of the public conscience—"To limit the number of those who seek vicious pleasures, and to prevent the furnishing of such pleasures to those who are inclined to seek them is one of the first duties of government." If this be 7 true, the State which licenses prostitution by State perpetuating a grievous wrong. there that is Again the State has no right to encourage the practice of this vice. It is notorious that regulation does this because it Says in elleel to men, "You may safely indulge your passions," and sadly enough 111 saying this it foully lies. liy keeping the evil in plain sight the Stale compels the public to be tempted. 11 makes prostitution a political affair and gives it official standing in the community. The prostitute becomes a government chattel, removed 110111 the realm of moral considerations. Like a public lavatory, she is made a human necessity. All of which is fundamentally wrong. The State has no right to confuse moral issues, or to lead men to believe unbridled indulgence in passion a physical necessity. W ell does the great German Socialist stigmatize the State officials. What guarantee is if Hawaii enters upon a policy of segregation this will not take place here? Those of us who know the status of Japanese women fear this for some of them. Begin it with aliens and who will prophec) where this injustice will end? It is certainly nasty work for an en- lightened government. Furthermore, what right has the State to hold women in virtual servitude. Wherever segregation is practiced the condition of the poor herded creatures is that of a legalized slavery. The term is not ours. Listen to the language of the memorial presented in IKO4 to Pope Leo XIII by the entire Catholic Episcopate of Belgium where this wretched prevailed: "It is a slavery more revolting than that of tin- negroes."

And 1 am responsible in a measure for I am my brother's, my sister's keeper. It is solemn business for a Christian man to advocate State regulation of vice. I low about Christian women? It is incredible that a single married woman, least of all a mother, whom Christ has redeemed, should for a moment countenance such a blot Upon the fair name of Hawaii. In our inmost hearts we all of us know the whole business to be foul and wrong. Let us then cleanse ourselves from the accursed thing lest like Aclian we perish. 'The ideal is clear. 'The State may not in this age be able to eradicate vice. It can throw all its influence and force against it. Suppose Sheriff I lenry should take the public into his confidence and say, "I cannot suppress this evil, but with the help of all good citizens J can make it hide its head like theft and murder. My policemen shall suppress all public solicitation so far as possible. Every evil resort that foists itself upon public notice shall be closed. Citizens are invited to aid the police by reporting at the Sheriff's office all suspicious places and all public manifestations of the evil." It is conceivable that such a policy honestly administered would give the best results to be hoped for in the present state of civilization. Meantime if churches,schools and reform agencies co-operate by better care and education of children, by furnishing healthful recreation for all, by stimulating parents to instruct the r boys and girls naturally and in accordance with modern experience upon the sacred function of reproduction, and by systematic training in moral activity as well as in moral theory, we may hope for the evolution of a human society when this sad chapter of vice shall have been written to its end. D. S. A LETTER FROM JAPAN. The run from Honolulu to Yokohama has been most delightful; days of fine weather, games on the deck, pleasant chats with fellow passengers, all have made the time pass quickly. As the lino Sunday was only from 7 p. 111. to midnight of that evening. However, on the next day, meetings were held among the Chinese and Japanese, who seemed to enjoy them very much. It has been pleasant to meet and talk with the bright Chinese men on the ship, who so quickly and skillfully wait on our every need. It would be a real blessing to America if she could have more ot these ready and willing workers. .Much was learned from conversation with several Japanese gentlemen returning from England an] America. They have been studying and carefully thinking of some of the best things that the West can give, and arc now bringing back that knowledge for their own Japan. ( me was in business, one had been studying governmental finance, one was interested in naval construction, and one was working on the development of Formosa, but all seemed to have the one end in view, the building up of Orcat Japan. I hit these young men and many others, that are taking a leading place today, are not looking alone at Japan; they are realizing that it is their destiny to be leaders of Korea and China. They feel that these Oriental nations must all stand and advance together. The world will see one day a strong alliance between the two ( Oriental empires of Japan and China, an alliance that will not only be of benefit to the people of the East, but will also work for the peace and prosperity of the world. Wherever they meet, the Chinese and Japanese are becoming more and more friendly. Japan realizes that China must be preserved and developed. China is looking to her younger and more active brother for help. A writer in a Chinese paper, published not long ago, says: "It must be remembered that Japan is a country whose inhabitants are our brothers. We and they arc companions who ride in the same carriage." So now stu- preaching Christ to them. They seem to feel that God is helping them. Rev. 11. Loomis, speaking of the Christian spirit of the Japanese at this time, says: "The war between Japan and Russia has brought with it many surprises. One of these is the evidence of much Christian spirit on the part of the Japanese. Not until the nation felt that its future >vas at stake, and that every other means of securing their national rights bad been tried in vain, did they consent to the opening of hostilities. In the reports of their victories by the different officials in command reference has at times been made to the assistance of heaven; and this recognition of divine interposition on their behalf on the part of the leaders has been still more apparent on the part of the people. "An illustration of the Japanese spirit was recently shown when the news came of the fall of Port Arthur. A teacher in one of the mission schools for girls hastened to inform the pupils of the great event. After searching for some time she found that they had already learned what had occurred and were all gathered in one room 011 their knees giving thanks to God and praying for the Russians." The following translation by Prof. Lloyd of a recent Imperial poem shows the Emperor's kindly feelings for the Russians:, "The foe that strikes thee. For thy country's sake, Strike him with all thy might ; Put as thou striks't, Forget not still to love him." Now is the grandest Opportunity for Christian work in Japan.

Very strangely our city of Honolulu has been called to make sad lament, if not even to suffer a sense of indignant shame, in behalf of the eminent lady whose monument is the great University at Palo Alto, which bears the name of her son, whose founding and growth she had made her splendid life work, and which now stands firmly planted to dig pense mighty forces of mental and moral culture throughout our Pacific (oast dm ing all these oncoming years of the grand national life then- growing to magnificent stature. It was our sad lot to witness a bitter and sudden close to that venerable life within our city's hospitality. It has been a deep sorrow to US here that her distinguished life was not pel initted to lapse calmly away in such ten der twilight as befits a noble old age. bowed with weight of years, but thai it was distressingly cut short in a sharp clutch of agony and terror, so unbefitting the dignity of her high position. We here take no part in the existing controversy as to the precise cause of death, whether from poison administered by malice, or from more natural causes. It is our painful lot to know that her breath was choked out in a most torturing anguish of body and mind, which extorted the cry "'This is a horrible death." Rightly or not, she at least fully believed herself perishing as the victim of some malignant poisoner. It was a most dark condition of death, embittered not merely by intense bodily agony, but by a consciousness of shameful indignity, all calling for our most pitying sympathy towards the aged sufferer. She tasted a great "bitterness of death!" It is, however, permitted to be our just consolation to believe that in being thus suddenly and painfully torn from the life of Earth, and ushered into what is Beyond, she came into a great bright life in the Divine Presence, where all that sharp anguish faded out as a "light affliction," in the experience Of "an exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Such are the compensations of Eternity. An Euthanasis was not vouchsafed to ibis aged one to enjoy. Put she will remain enshrined in the reverence of thousand of youth whose lives were enlarged by her beneficence, and who will long venerate the name of Stanford, even the more that it is associated with an ending of anguish and tragedy. We all may rejoice in an assurance that she shares in the glory of that blessed, immortal life beside which wholly pale all earthly distinctions and earthly enjoyments, and, barred from which, all these "good things" below fall into mockery.

Con ference in the interest of enlisting able men for the ministry were also held. I may add that I had similar conferences with the foremost leaders of the Church in England, Scotland and Wales. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who, by the most way, has shown a deep interest in my work at both universities, convened for me one of these conferences, and tinPresident of the Council of Free Churches called another.

Whoever was most to blame, it was surely a great calamity that during the visit of the Leg islature to Motokai on March [Oth, between two and three hundred relatives of lepers were allowed to accompany them, and were not restrained from mingling in entire freedom with the diseased people. 'There was the most profuse kissing and embracing. It seems safe to estimate that not less than one-fifth of those visit ors will have contracted the malady, and fifty more unhappy victims of leprosy will be added to the present number through this official folly and neglect. Kissing and embracing arc known to be the surest method of leprous contagion. Unfortunately, our kindly I lawaiians have a mental incapacity for precaution against any form of contagion, and even resent precautions against it. I lence the great unpopularity of segregation of lepers, which is felt even by intelligent members of the Legislature. City Hater Stiffly — Folly of Gravity System. 'The present drought is demonstrating the folly of seeking to BUppl) Honolulu with water from our unreliable mountain streams. The present extreme scarcity of water is one evidence, even although a very costly system of reservoirs might temporarily relieve that. But an even worse effect is the deadly impurity of the reservoir water, which is charged witli filth and poisonous germs. 'The only fit and reliable water system for Honolulu is that of pumping from artesian wells, the system so long and sue cessfully in use on our great sugar plan tations. A most copious and exhaust less reservoir of the purest water underlies our whole district. It presses hard to mount to feet above sea-level wherever an artesian steel pipe is driven down several hundred feet to the watcrbcd. Thence it may be cheaply pumped to any required height for distribution. Such system of pumping has been perfected by fifteen years of extensive practice on our plantations, which are distributing several hundreds of million gallons daily over twenty thousand acres of cane. For our city supply such a system is the best, « and really the cheapest, because unfailing And it is free from microbes and poison The feeble attempts hitherto made to utilize our artesian supply in I lonolulu with double wells and small pumps are such as no plantation would tolerate. In so small a scale, of course, the expense is greatly increased. What Honolulu needs is three powerful pumping plants, two miles apart, with six large wells each, to give us all the water we need. At present rates of charge, our plantation experience of cost of pumping proves that the profit would be immense. Away then with foolish talk of great reservoirs All that was studied out in Nuuanu, and dropped many years ago, before ar tesian pumping had been perfected. S. E. It. A JOY NOTE.

There are four English-speaking C. K. Societies iii the Local Union. One of the Honolulu C. E. Societies has adopted a new committee which might be helpful to other societies. It is called the "Visiting Com.," and is made up of the chairmen of the former committees, The visitors call upon tin- sick of their own society and remember them with flowers or fruit.

Crow ell & Co. have added to their popular "What is Worth While Series" a tiny booklet by the famous Bishop of New York, which is sure to meet with a wide leading. If anyone expects to find in this brochure either a defense of the no toriotis subway saloon to which the good llishop's name is indisaolubly linked, or a fresh solution of the drink question, he will be severely disappointed. Dr. Potter is master of a clear, readable style, and states his propositions with the calmness befitting a man of large responsibilities. The book is first of all temperate. It sets forth the incitement to drink supplied by the hard industrial conditions prevalent in great cities, condemns severely such panacea treatment of the evil of intemperance as the advocates of con ititutional prohibition advise, points out the complicated nature of the question and in a general way shows that a solution is to he found only in the faithful, �13 THE FRIEND application of counteracting social forces. The I lisliop pleads for a careful study of the modern saloon in order that the simply which it furnishes for healthful social demands may be understood, lie then indicates that these demands must be met in a fuller and more satisfy- patient ing manner by saloon substitutes before the drink evil can be adequately handled. 'I'o hiil against the saloon for popular pat ronagr and destroy it by underselling, is the gist of the whole matter. Experience in England and Denmark suggest to Dr. Potter that this can be done. It lie had studied Jersey City a little more closely he might have been strengthened in this conviction. In addition to a thorough business campaign of competition with the saloon as a provider of certain social attractions needed by millions of people, the Bishop commends individual effort for the rescue of persons exposed The booklet contains to intemperance. absolutely no new thought or suggestions, but for those who have not kept abreast of the modern anti-saloon movement, it is a very helpful preface to the study of such works as Raymond Calkin's "Substitute for the Saloon" and Rowntrce and Sherw ell's "Temperance Problem and Social Reform." LYMAN ABBOTT'S PERSONALITYOFGOD.

If Dr. Abbott makes any mistake and we think he does -it is in a constant reiteration of the assertion that the present day view of the immanence of Cod is "an overthrow of old forms of faith." 'There is nothing either Startling or new in this doctrine of Cod in all and through all, and the only thing that can be claimed for the modern statement of it, is a changed setting and fresh emphasis. Often when a man gets a personal grip uiioii some jrreat truth he thinks of it as new, when in fact it is new only to him. Dr. Abbott seems to us to fall into this This is, however, but a very small failing and detracts not an iota from the splendid service that this apostle of Christian truth has rendered his generation. A vast company of younger disciples the world over acknowledge with deepest gratitude the debt they owe to Dr. Abbott.
