In a spasm of virtue it sustained the Governor's veto of the in famous first liquor bill. Other good deeds lie to its credit.

One of tin- singular things about this Legislature was the attitude of a number of they should mark him for retirement to private life. , The Remedy One great trouble with Hawaii is its nepotism.

That might answer in an island kingdom, but in an aspirant for American Statehood it is hopelessly out of date. Rev. Mr. Wcstervelt at the annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League, hinted at the remedy. It has two parts —first, relentless memory ; second, independent voting. The Civic Federation should as a matter of public service compile can-fully a statement of the record of each legislator, showing exactly how be voted on each measure, make it public now and keep it before the voters just preceding the primary and general elections in the fall of 1906.

RTockheflr Gift The appeal made to Congregational pastors by the ministers who recently requested the American Hoard to refuse the now famous Rockefeller yift of $too.ooo is printed in another column. The discussion pro and con has waxed very hot on the mainland, but it has been uniformly kindly. It is byno means a simple question, as anyone may ascertain who reads both sides It is one of the most serious matters ever presented for discussion to a great branch of the Christian Church; for every periodical dealing in a large way with questions vital to tin- American people during the past year, has em- phasized the terrible danger which threatens the life of tin- nation at the hands of monopolistic wealth. W'hihnot vet quite prepared to say that it is tin- duty of the American Board to refuse this gift, we are Strongly moved by the considerations named in the appended appeal, together with those re centlv made public by Rev. Washington Gladden, D. I)., and those detailed by IV. Bishop ill a subsequent column to side with those who asked the Board to return the $100,000. In this connection we recall a slorv currcntlv reported as true of Mr. W. I. Bryan, twice candidate for the Ires idency. We cannot vouch for its correctness. It was stated that Mr. Bryan, al the close of his term of service in Congress, was approached by the Standard Oil Company and offered $10,000 a vc.ir a S counsel f«u" that cornoratio" in Nebraska. It is well known that this eagle-eyed combination is constantly on the watch for men who can serve its interests, as well as for those who are likely to threaten its nroirress. Mr. Bryan's career at Washington iii'rked him out both as a dangerous foe of monopolies and as a nowerful ally for any corporation able to command Ins talents. Therefore, this glittering bait was held out. But �THE FRIEND. Mr. Bryan preferred to accept a mod- est income of $i_S<x) and be his own master. lie declined the offer. The entire country honored the deed. Now in a certain sense the public gift of $100,000 to a great Christian corporation like the American Hoard, bears analogy to the offer made Mr. Bryan by the Standard < >il Company, because it puts that Hoard at a disadvantage in its influence with reference to the system of which the donor is the creator and the chief exponent. That system is definitely anti-Christian in character while its chief claims to be Christian and naturally desires that his system be not condemned as a violation of Christian principle. To accept the gift and condemn the public life of the giver are not compatible. If Mr. Bryan is to be honored for declining the offer of the Standard Oil Company because it left him free to cast his influence against that company, should not the American Hoard be expected to refuse to place itself ill a position that would stultify any protest it might be called upon to make against a system which threatens our national life? The Hoard con not Ik separated in thought from the men who compose it, and it is safe to say that a large number of those who form the corporation known as the American Hoard would take a stand like that of Mr. Bryan if faced with a proposition similar to that which came to him from the Standard < )il Company. Is it not time for lines lo be sharply drawn upon a question that men aces not only our existence as a free Republic, but which, still worse even than this, threatens un- to dermine the very manhood of tin- nation? When character is at stake, prudential considerations and (|iicstions of ordinary procedure must 1101 control. The whole controversy will be fought out at Seattle next fall. Meantime the constituency of the Hoard has time by prayer and faithful interchange of opinion act as (iod's Spiril to prepare to shall command. 1). S.

On mv first visit to this Territory, four years ago, I had somewhat the of sense being a foreigner. Hut happily I find that passed, at this time, and in its plate a feeling of being to the manner horn. The beauty, novelty and mystery of sky and sea and soil, the riches the solid potentialities of fact, and the determination of everyromance, of thing, including investment, politics and religion, to rainbows, fill the first fortnight of the tenderfoot with new experiences ; but as his vision gets adjusted to the unaccustomed lights and shadows he finds himself confronting here the same old human nature and the same old problems that he has grown ii)) with and into, on the mainland. I had heard at home and have heard here some doleful prophecies about the Islands, both as to the moral and the material outlook, which seem to he foundationless or near it. On the contrary, the situation is not more unique than inspiring in the difficulties it presents. The appeal of Hawaii is to quality, and the field for the high-class man is whitening to the harvest. I am not well enough informed to speak of business matters; but it seems to me that too many men are hunting something easy, rather than something permanent and safe. Diversified farming, I should think, holds out both sure and rich rewards for energetic white men who would get too busyto whine about their laborious and prosperous brother in yellow. There must be a screw loose when a rich region such as this, that was shipping food stuffs to California half a century ago, gets butter, eggs and hay from San Francisco, Hut politically the outlook is big with hope, on the sole condition that This Territory is going good men undertake for Christian civilization. the greatest of object lesor is to be going it straight to Asiatic perdition sons as to the conquering and assimilative power of Christian democracy. At the humble service which underlies all permanent societies, the Asiatic Kiit-works us. He can and will presently outvote us. To put up against that combination a sloppy, bigotted, crooked America, is to invite and facilitate failure. We have just one advantage in that Competition—a vital and up-todate religion. Will our own people show it up in its purity and its strength?—that is the problem. I It has been shown in the case of the natives, and is being shown now, in a remarkable way in the case of the Coreans, that clean and strenuous Christianity brings them quickly and happily to its light and easy yoke; but for a long time after they come under it there must be missionary leadership of gallant, steadfast white men and women, for these new Christians lack moral and social initiative, and fall away for lack of shepherding. 'The same thing is true in the States. 'The lack of nerve and muscle in the leadership is the shame and peril of the voting church ; but the problem is so big there that it is difficult to be seen clearly. 'The key word to the island proposition is righteousness. In that name we shall rule or ruin "the Paradise of the Pacific." Tremendous riches of opportunity and responsibility have fallen to Doremiis Scudder, Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, and W. L. Wadinan, representative of the Methodist Home Missionary Society, and magnificently are they meeting the obligations imposed. I could write something eloquent about 111 v estimate of them, but for the fear of seeming to Hatter men to whom that would surely be offensive, and whom I have come to think of as my good, close friends. 'This simple but most important fact, however, may be and ought to be stated concerning them—that they seem to me such big, broad, cosmopolitan men as to be immune from sectism, and to be working together so that every worker and every dollar poes tin wasted to the spot. Their boards ought to back them with first-class men and women and money, and money enough to manumit them from anxiety as to ways and means. One thing has been a great and disagreeable surprise to me—the apathy and lack of information as to the liquor problem among the best people. Speaking broadly, 1 find no agitation here about the saloon save that provoked by a disgraceful bill that threatened in the present session of the Legislature; and the antidote offered for that is one of remedies long since discredited at home. �6 F THE RIEND. There is but one remedy far the saloon and that is no saloon. 'The various forms and elevations of the license system have no decent Christian following in the States; but Prohibition, on the conscience argument, fortified, of course, by the economic and industrial considerations relatively equal in cogency stands alone, among the intelligent and the Christian voters and agitators. The saloon has to be banished from this Territory as a condition precedent to material prosperity, moral advancement, political statehood, social stability, and victory, and the Christan men must banish it or know themselves for weaklings, who in the nature of things will lose their own sons and daughters from the fold of Christ, if not into the army of the camp followers of legalized vice. A work of surpassing usefulness is opening to the Anti-Saloon League, which is, or ought to be, the Church specialized for political work against the licensing of saloons. Its work is at the very heart of Territorial politics. It ought to know and let the Chritian voters know what is planning or going on in liquor politics, and in regard to violations of the present law, to present to all candidates for the legislature written questions as to their attitude to the licensing of saloons and publish their answers or their failure to answer, to keen the record of every legislator on the liquor problem, and publish it in his favor or against him if he stands for re-election; to conduct an all-thc-year-round campaign of education by newspapers, tracts and public ting in the churches, under direction of the pastors, and to present to every ■ilature a prohibitory law and push it until it passes. The law now is permissive. From now- on, every law proposed or ndment of the existing law, ought to be prohibitory in character. No istian ought to be asked, nor any Christian permit himself, to support a nissive measure. Prohibit the saloon from opening on Sunday, but ?r consent for it to open on any day. Prohibit the saloon from remainopen after say ten ten o'clock at night, but never consent to it being Open 11. Always Prohibition.

JOHN G. WOOLLEY. I THE AMERICAN BOARD AND ROCKEFELLER. The following letter, which speaks for itself, has been sent throughout the country: To the Corporate Members of the American I). Rockefeller, the head of the Standard Oil Company. This Company stands before the public under repeated and recent formidable indictment in specific terms for methods which arc morally iniquitous and To arouse the moral socially destructive. reprobation of the general conscience and to against Specific olfenses and direct it offenders is the supreme need of tlic hour. The Church is the moral educator and leader of the people, and in order to fulfill this calling with freedom and cll'oct it must stand entirely clear of any implication in the evil it is set to condemn. The acceptance of such a gift involves the constituents of the Hoard in a relation implying honor toward the donor, and subjects the Hoard to the charge of ignoring the moral issues involved. We, the undersigned, ministers and members of the Congregational Church, therefore protest against any action by which coir Church may even seem to be compromised, and we plead with the officers Of the Hoard to decline the gift of Mr. Ifock (teller, or to return it if it has been ac- Mr. John Board and the Ministers of Our Congregational Churches.

The Church stands for leadership in moral and spiritual progress. It cannot to enter into any relation that may weaken or discredit it in the f ulli 11 tiicnt of its task. The main question is one of the moral prestige and power of the Church. afford Certain Misconceptions. This principle will guide us to a practical solution of the dillicult ies and perplexities which g-ither about this question. All the confusion arising from the literal use of the figure, "tainted money,'' may lie brushed aside at once. Money is impersonal; it is not tainted and cannot taint, morally. The moral element lies in the men who make and give money and in their method of getting it, and only in relation to these men and their methods can the Church suffer moral dam age. Though their money gained by fraud or force, dribble into our treasuries or pour into il by Hoods, of itself it can tiring no contamination. It is by voluntary relation to the donors that moral responsibility is in curred. With the unknown or unimpeaehed giver, the Church is brought into no such conscious and deliberate relation. No conscience need be offended by the acceptance of his contribution. Neither at the bar of our own moral judgment nor before that of the world can we be held accountable. It follows, therefore, that the refusal of a gift fioai such a source as this in ipicstion docs not imply "investigation of the record of every giver," and this whole practical difficulty, which has been allowed to obstruct our fulfillment of the obvious duty of the moment, falls to the ground as fictitious. The Church owes it to itself and to the public! conscience to acknowledge responsibility when it voluntarily enters into dealings with a donor who stands openly impeached of serious offenses which it is our duty to condemn. No Judicial Tribunal Required. i i It is not required that the Church form a tribunal to pass judgment on personal char aeter or probe into the business methods of all givers. Such examination is not necessary in refusing a gift. Public belief and impression, formed on extensive evidence through a long series of years, furnish sufficient basis for such action. This works no "injustice to an individual" by "singling him out" among others suspected of being "as bad as he." It is not by any act of ours that he is singled out, but by his olTer to us of a gift, and by his own actions which have, already singled him out before the world as a notorious and typical instance of an evil element in national life. Moral Demand Not to be Obscured. However formidable may be the practical difficulties in the way of exercising this io- spousibility, they must not obscure the ethi cal demand. No price" may be set on li" advancement of righteousness, and no lots to be incurred may properly deter one from heroic conduct.

Where we must end is shown by the an swer of the I'rudential Committee. We must .. end in the declaration of complete irrespou sibilitv for the sources from which we accept gifts. Their words are: "The principle on which this policy rests is the belief that our responsibility begins with the receipt of a Before gifts are received the rerift, sponsibility is not ours, but is that of the donors ill their own conscience." Thus they express in a perfectly frank and unmistakable wav t in- principle on which it is atlirmeil that tin- Hoard has acted in the past and pro poses to act in the future. It receives money from any man who oilers it, and will make no inquiry and listen to no evidence concern ing the way in which his money has been acquired, and it leaves itself no freedom to take account of the probable effect upon the Hoard or the Church arising from acceptance of the giftPast Policy. the Church will never It has not done so in The I'rudential Committee say, the past. •The Church in all ages has received upon its altars the gifts of all who were moved to lay them thereon."

Christians at home and converts abroad have been taught to love the men and women who, some out of deep poverty and others out of their wealth, have sent the gospel far and wide. Never again, if the policy announced in this report is maintained, can the Hoard's list of contributors be taken as a roll of piety and honor. we urge the positive principle, in application to this spe cific case. This requires that the representatives of a Christian body be peculiarly sensitive to th ral bearing of gifts of fared, and especially to the social effect aris ing from their acceptance. Kvery high -minded man in the personal conduct of life takes There are some a position similar to this. men with whom he will have no personal relations because he deems them to be com promising, He stands on his honor anil is nobly jealous for his character.

A Christian curporat ion has a character which it may not compro inise by doubtful alliances. Urgency of Present Need, The application of this principle was never so much needed as now. The Church finds it self in danger of losing its moral leadership. It is painfully feeling the estrangement of the common people. It cannot be blind to the growing alienation between those who have and those who have not. It seeks to preserve and strengthen the growing sense of honor apparent among high-minded business men.

The battle is on between forces that are socially destructive and those that seek a finer order of justice and human op portunity. There is no question on which side of this contest the Church should stand. It is necessary for it to be exceedingly jeal ous of anything that may swerve it from its own task. Every act must be avoided that seems to ally the Church with the wrong side, to impede its action or to render its efforts and utterances ineffectual. Cambridge; Philip S.

When the Punahou Athletic Club refused to play in a Sunday baseball schedule, clean sportsmanship was vindicated in this town. Money and "muckerisms" are correspondingly depressed. The term "mucker" is perfectly intelligible to an eastern man, —it stands for a quite distinct stale of things, and no one needs any definition. For example, Sunday hasehall is "mucker" baseball, —always and inevitably,—do you see? There are several results of "mucker" basehall : one of the earliest symptoms oi "mtickcrism" in sports is money ; the last is death,—that is, locally and temporarily.

Raise ye the song of triumph I Sing as ye battle for right; Follow the steps of the fathers They win, who sing while they fight. Raise ye the song of triumph I Sing through the darkness of night; So won the fathers their battles, Singing while God lent his might. Raise ye the song of triumph! Turns now the tide for the right; Follow the steps of the fathers, Follow—and Ood will send light. "Not for a day, but for all time." If Father Bingham could have looked upon the scene under the grand old trees of Punahou when his memorial was unveiled yesterday afternoon; If he could have seen the gaily clad women and brave men, the fair and fair haired boys and girls who gathered there where once had stood hts humble home; If he could have marked them still treading, as their fathers and mothers trod, the path that leads to high and noble living in the sight of the children of the darker races who bravely hold the road beside them; surely he would have felt that the work of his hands had not been for a day but for all time. And who is to say that the kindly shade was not permitted to look for a moment upon the fruition of the labors of a life given with noble singleness of purpose to the uplifting of the lives of men? Assuredly, the spirit of the work of Father Bingham, and of hts companions who gave their lives as he did, was In the inspiration of that scene of April 19. The missionaries suffered much In the devotion which led them to come from their homes on the bleak shores of New England to bring enlightenment and salvation to the dusky children of these tropic islands, much in the hardships of the life that they chose, much in the contumely that was heaped upon them by men who purposely misconstrued their motives and misrepresented their acts tor the purposes of evil. Satan was busy In that early time, as he has been busy since, and he chose his most powerful instruments, aa God did, from among the children of the dominant race. The missionaries marched on, gloriously triumphant to the work that It came to them to do —and their children have kept in the forefront of all that great work of progress and enlightenment that good men perform for the regeneration of mankind. It is not, when all is said, to the missionaries nor to the sons of missionaries that the powers of evil look for the telligence. darkening of human in- They spread the light. And In the work that he founded at the humble home upon whose site his memorial now stands, Father Bingham kindled on his own hearthstone a fire whose rays shall reach as far as the age will run. It is a light that will grow stronger and stronger as the years go on, Its radiance burning in the light of young in- Punahou, in telligence and finding its fullest (ires in the brains of active men and women empowered by the magic of It to do the world's work. Father Hiram Ringham, the first missionary to land on the island of Oahu, received from the chiefs permission to stay but one year to do the work of God in these heathen islands. The chiefs proposed and the Master of all disposed. In nine years after he had landed. Father Ringham had won the good will of the great chief Hoki, though that chief never embraced Christianity, and it was to the generosity of Hoki that the Father owed the gift of the tract of land that is now the endowment of Punahou College. Where the memorial boulder was unveiled to him yesterday afternoon, Father Bingham built his home on the island. There, where the smoke of his hearth floated to heaven the holiest Incense that men burn, he dedicated the lands given him by Boki to the cause of Christian education for all time—and from the inspiration born of that Incense of the Christian home has come all the power for good that has marked the establishment and successful continuance of Oahu College on educational lines characterized by Christian education, and the building of character. There the children of the missionaries and the children of the native race have been trained together, and have g-one out together to the noble battle all good men wage to death —and beyond that. For the Influence of the good that men do lives after them. Under the trees that dot the campus of Punahou, Just Walkiki of the main building of the college, was the spot where the Hingham home stood, and here the boulder with its inscription plate stood yesterday, modestly veiled in the American colors, the flag that Father Hingham loved. He had come from the shelter of that flag, long ago. crossing the stormy waters to bring light. His sons see that flag flying now in the light that he brought. Above the veiled stone the college colors floated, looking very beautiful against the foliage of the royal palms and kiavve, and upon a stand behind the stone were chairs arranged for descendant! of the missionaries who were to take part in the unveiling, and for the trustees of the college. In front, upon the shaded _!_■, chairs wore placed for spectators, and these filled up rapidly. Ry 4 o'clock, the time set for the beginning of the ceremonies, every chair was occupied, and there was a fringe of men and women and college hoys and girls behind the chairs, and still behind Ihese a row of carriage, tilled with interested spectators of the scene. Presently, the Joyous voices of children arose In song, and from somewhere behind the platform came the descendants of the missionaries, two and two, and the college officials, and took their places on the platform. It was fitting, that men and women of the blood of the missionaries should take the lead In the ceremonial of the day. The triumph of the fathers was their triumph. It is their labor today to complete the perfect work the fathers began. And it was most fitting of all that a son of Father Bingham, the Rev. Hiram Ringham of today, should have been there to unveil the memorial. A few minutes after 4 o'clock the band began to play "Old 'Hundred" and the speakers, trustees and others to form. The seats had been arranged at the makai end of the dais facing the flag-draped stone. Those who had places on the platform were President A. P. Griffiths of Oahu College, Dr. Hiram Ringham, Mrs. Lydia Ringham Ooan, Judge S. R. Dole, Hon. P. O. Jones, Rev. S. E. Hishop, W. R. Castle, Esq., [_ A. Thurston, Esq., Rev. O. H. Gulick, Mr. A. F. Judd. Mr. Clarence Cooke. Mr. Wm. Rabbitt, Prof. W. D. Alexander. At the conclusion of the doxology the venerable Rev. S. E. Rishop, the oldest living male descendant of the missionaries, offered prayer. After the prayer a large chorus under the direction of Miss Caroline Castle sang the grand old hymn "Head of the Church Triumphant" which was sung at the ordination of Father Ringham and Father Thurston at Goshen, then at the farewell service In the Park St. �THE FRIEND Church in Boston and later sung by both men as they stood on the maintop of the Thaddeus under the lee of Hawaii's shore. The hymn is as follows: Head of the church triumphant, We Joyfully adore Thee; Till Thou appear, Thy members here Shall sing like those In glory. We lift our hearts and voices. In blest anticipation, And cry aloud, and give to God The praise of our salvation. While in affliction's furnace. And passing through the fire, Thy love we praise, that knows our days. And ever brings us nigher. We lift our hands exulting In Thine almighty favor; The love divine, that made us Thine. Shall keep us Thine forever. ADDRESS BY REV. O. H. GULICK. The first address was read by Rev. 11. 11. Gulick, the oldest living I'unahnu student. He spoke as follows: in l'l.o, the navigator Magellan, coming through th,. straits which now hear his name, discovered the vat expanse of waters which received from him the name Pacific Ocean. One hundred years later, in 1610, the Pilgrim fathers crossed the Atlantic, and landing at Plymouth, laid the foundations for a Christian state and nation, which now spans the continent. Two hundred years still later, In a bund of missionaries from .New England landed on there Hawaiian Islands, and began those labors for a savage people, which within three generations have in :i good degree fitted the islanders to become citizens of this great Christian nation. These missionaries received most efficient help in their labor of love, from the regent Kaahumanu. and from sev eral other of the high "hiefs. and from -oine of the common people, who proved eloquent and effective preachers of faith in the newly proclaimed Savior of mankind. Some of these shall live forever as stars in the firmament, as those who hav c turned many to right- eousness. Three names not of missionary pro- fession, of those who contributed largely and efficiently to the development of the Hawaiian people, and the upbuilding of Oahu College, may here And fitting mention; Mr. James Hunne well, a merchant prince of Boston. Judge William L. Lee of Western New York, and the boon companion of his youth, Mr. Charles I!. Bishop, of matchless bounty, and faithful love for Hawaii. Father Alexander, Rev. W. P. Alexander, was once asked what Justification could a missionary give for spending his life in converting the people of a small island community when there remained continents of unenlightened millions. He replied that a farm of a few acres was all that one man 9 could cultivate, and the small farm might be as valuable On an island as on a continent. Geographical position has much to do with the development of a nation. and the history of the world Indicates the greater comparative Importance Of island empires when contrasted with continental empires, witness ihe power of the British empire ai compared with other European nations, or Japan with any of the nations of continental Asia.

The transformation Of t lie race, and of the condition of the people cannot be fully estimated by one who lias not known heathenism in Its hopeless degradation and darkness. The transformation exceeds the power of huniau language lation to represent. Eighty-five years from the landing of Ihe pioneer hand, we are here today to unveil a tablet to the memory of one of the two leading men of that honored hand. The son of one, and the grandson of the other, are here to participate "Childin the interesting ceremony. ion's children are the crown of old men, and Ihe glory of children are their fully futhers." Let us for a moment consider the character of these fathers and of those who Joined them in the holy purpos of redeeming and lifting to a plane of Christian life the then dark people. ('onseciation, a loving devotion to the good of the people, was the crowning source of a unity, evident at every general meeting of the Mission. This devotion to a lofty purpose, and their unity of heart and action, were the open -ecrets of their grand success. Theirs was a pure democracy tempered by advice from the far distant American Hoard, representative of the supporting churches. These fathers were "men of like passions as we are," and of like fallings, but firmly united in the loftiest purposes that can Inspire human life. They constituted among themselves an indissoluble brotherhood; and the most valuable legacy they left to their children was a like fellowship and confidence in each other. This bond recognized by the circle of children survived undimmed years of wide separation from one another, while scattered far from their island home In the father land. This warm fellowship of the children • of th,. llrst generation took on the form of cousinhood. and assumed organic union under the name of the Hawaiian Mis-ion Children's Society. This unique circle while wholly destitute of political purpose, neither guided by literary nor social ambitions, constituted a bond and helped to foster love and confidence in one another. This bond of mutual love, cnhflileiicc and respect, enabled the Hawaiian government amid scenes of Rivni discord ami threatened anarchy, to hold on its even way through the troubled seven years 0. the Provisional Government and of the Hawaiian Republic, till the group was received under the sheltering wings of the Great Republic. Our fathers builded better than they knew. Trusting in (iod they faltered not. Their brightest visions, their nio>t careful observations of Hie dusty, barren plain which stretched from Honolulu to the green oasis of Punahou spring, would never have pictured the emerald gardens, the peaceful Christian hollies, the playing fountains, the velvet grass, beautiful dowers and rich fruit -hat tills all the plain.

Rlessed shall we be if we possess the heroic devotion, the unselfish purpose, and the abiding faith of that generation of Christian workers; the faith to sow the seed and leave the rest to the Reaper, We may know as little as did our fathers of the purposes of the Lord of the harvest. Mighty problems unsolved lie all about us, problems as great and as interesting as met our fathers when Ihey drew to these jcoral bound shores. Hike them we labor on as seeing the invisible, we shall like them gather in the sheaves in the ripening of our seed sowing in the world yet to be. Like Magellan we boldly enter the unknown, uncharted, mighty Pacific Ocean of the future. Like those who drew buckets of water to sustain the drooping life, we shall find the everlasting flowing artesian fountains of the deeper eternal life. Then may it be said of v«, as we can truly say of our fathers and mothers These are they who, "Through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions," and received their dead raised to spiritual life. - �THE FRIEND 10 MEMORIAL ODE was a treeless, waterless, dusty of grass bouses, inhabited by breach-clouted savages who bad never seen a white woman and scarcely seen a white man whose morals were not worse than their own, If such a thing were possible.

When, forever, shadows flee, Might my morning break with ADDRESS OF LORRIN A. TON. thee. THURS- l-orrln A. Thurston, Esq., a grandwin of Father Hlngliam's co-worker. Rev. Asa Thurston, followed with an address about missionary experiences. Mr. Thurston spoke as follows: Some men are remembered for what they have said; others for what they have done. What Hiram Hingham said, has already passed from the memory of all but a few. What he did, will stand as a monument to his memory ns long as old Rock Hill stands sentinel over the scene of his work. The simple rock which we are today dedicating to his memory—a rock gathered from the fields which he gave to Punahou—ls typical of the man whom It commemorates and of the other men and women who consecrated themselves to the service of God and their fellow-men, In the days when Hawaii was literally at the ends of the earth; when the only means of travel and communication were by the chance whaler or the tramp trader, around Cape Horn; when malls came but once or twice a year; when Hono- livened the home with sometimes discouraging delightful regularity. but Whole families of missionary chil- dren were raised On sweet potatoes and goat's milk. Flour was a tidbit which generally bad to be broken up with a hammer, and sifted to separate it from live stock before It was used. Beef was a rare dainty of the rugged variety known to sailors as "salt horse." and the family sat in the yard to avoid the fumes while It was being cooked. Journeys were made On toot over rough and rocky foot trails for no other roads existed. Voyages between the islands were made In canoes or sloops and schooners so small and nl' such poor construction that It took days ami even weeks to get from one Island to the other; and these were so crowded with people, pigs and dogs that there was scarce room to lie down on deck. The cabins were unspeakable caverns, the home of crawling and Jumping and Hying things, and blackened with the fumes of bilge water and rank tobacco. These are a few of the high lights in the Uvea of the early Hawaiian missionaries. Meanwhile what were they doing? They were doing practically everything thnt makes a difference between morality and Immorality; between savagery and civilization; lawlessness and law; Ignorance and knowledge; between pa- and Christianity. They created among people who had known no morals but their own sensuous Inclinations; they created laws for the protection of private rights and property, where the unrestrained will of the King and high chief had been the only authority; they created a written language, translated the books, scriptures, published school laws, newspapers; taught the people to read, to write, to build, to dress, to work; they preached and prayed and taught and worked incessantly, and, more effective than all, they lived their profession. They did not give money. for they had no money to give; but they gave themselves to the cause to which they had dedicated their lives. Indicative of this oneness of purpose, is the fact that when chief Hoki, in appreciation of the public services of Hiram Bingham, gave him the land Of Punahou, the latter Instead of keeping It for Jilmself and his heirs, ns he was entitled to do, dedicated It, without ganism a moral standard for all time, to Ihe cause of education In Hawaii. "Greater love hath no man than this. that he give Ills life for his friends," salth the scripture. Croatcr love than this had Hiram Bingham, for he gave his life for those who were not his friends, and ills substance to those who were unborn "It Is not enough to believe In (lod. One must believe in man, In humanity and Its future," says Charles Wagner. Hiram Bingham believed in Ood, in man and in humanity and he lived and aCted his beliefs. -our We cannot do what he did. ways are not bis ways, but the Journey's end remains in truth the same." "It Is always the pole star that reserve, Christian guides the seamun. whether be cruise under sail or on a steamship." the other Father Hiiighnm and strong, simple men and women who laid the foundations of peace, progress and prosperity In Hawaii, have passed on over the road which we all must follow; but the pole star of their lives survives. Many of those present today have directly reaped the benefits of those early days of privation and devotion to duty. All of us have done so Indirectly. Hiram Hingham laid a foundation as solid ns the grand mountains which look down upon us; a foundation which will last as long as the trade winds blow across Manoa and the surf beats on the beach at Walklkl. The generation which Is still passing, has begun well the superstructure. Punahou lias been, and Is, the center of a radiating Influence which tends to the uplifting of Haw-all and Ihe right living of Its people. It is the duty and the privilege of those of us who have profited by the work and generosity of those who have gone before, to perpetuate the broad and generous spirit In which the foundations of Punahou were laid and in which It has since been carried on. Let us then so act as to demonstrate to our successors that we believe, and to encourage them to believe, in Hod, In man, In humanity and its future. Following Mr. Thurston's address a double trio consisting of Miss C. Y. Hall, Miss Julia Damon, Miss K. M. Damon, Mrs. C, It. Damon, Miss H. A. Austin. Miss A. K. Judd, sang "To Earth Fair Winds Are Bringing." Miss Ethel Andrews played a violin obllgato. JUDGE DOLE'S ADDRESS. Judge Sanfor.l B, Dole was next in- troduced and spoke of the early days at Punahou and the spirit and aim of the Institution. Judge Dole Is the son of the first principal of Punahou. His remarks were as follows: The surroundings of this place have much since I was a child. I used to come out of the end door there of Dole Hall and pass by the changed very place where we are now standing, on �THE FRIEND my way to the old bathing pond. I am one of those who remember the old Bingham House. There wag a later annex adjoining it on the west which was inhabited by native servants of Punahou. The original Ringham house was then out of repair and uninhabited. I remember Mr. Gulick, who was one of the big boys at thut time, when I was a toddling child, because he was always kind to nic and always welcomed me to his room,—he and his brother Charles. Professor Alexander was also one of the large boys that I remember; almost all the Mission families were represented In the school. The purpose- of Punahou was an allaround education —body, mind and spirit. The ideal was high; the pupils were put on I heir honor in some things. For Instance, I remember the dining room, situated in the middle wing of the old courts. The buildings were mostly of one story with narrow verandas and low eaves, not more than seven or eight feet above the floor. From these eaves on the west side of the dining room were hung a row of bunches of bananas which were raised among the taro patches below the spring. My Impression is that these bananas were never taken by any of the pupils. I never beard of any complaints or talk about such a thing. Some time afterwards, for some reason or other, possibly for convenience or perhaps because the sense of honor of some of the pupils had become relaxed, they were locked up In the store room. After I had been away from Punahou for some years, I spent a school year here, during Which time It became known to me that several of the more enterprising boys of the school, having by some diplomacy obtained a loan of the key of this room from one of the girls who had duties there, bad made a mould from It and a duplicate key, returning the original. And thereafter, from time to time, they organized midnight raids on this store room, when not only bananas but other luxuries were apand yet they conducted these enterprises with such discretion and self-control that it never became known that the school authorities missed anything. This shows the difference between the power of a sense of honor and that of locks and keys. When Roki gave Punahou to Mr. Hingham he gave It to the right man, but he did not probably Imagine what he was doing for education In Hawaii and for the benefit of his country. If he had given It to the wrong man, Punahou would have existed under another name, perhaps on the slopes of Punchbowl or somewhere else in the suburbs of Honolulu and might at this time be merely holding Its own, while the Punahou grounds would be at the present time cut up Into house lots. Hut this gift, passed over by Mr. Bingham to the cause of education, has been a liberal endowment of the Inpropriated, stltution which has been a prominent reason of its successful growth. I do not like to brag—l don't often have as good an opportunity as this to brag about Punahou. At any rate, I think It Is reasonable for me on this occasion to refer to the work done by Punahou boys and girls In different parts of the world. Like the Punahou spring with its perennial How of pure and life-giving water, the stream of influence In the direction of civilization and humanity has flowed from Punahou as Its source refreshing thirsty places all over the world. Pupils from Punahou fought In the battles of the American Civil War. They have done great work In education In AmerTh.-y have promoted human ica. progress in Spain, in Turkey, in South America, in China, Japan and the Pacific Islands. They have done this work with the spirit of Sacrifice. They have put their shoulders to the wheels of progress und caused them to move, and this work they have done largely because of the training which they received and the Influence which Inspired them during their stay ut Punahou. The object of the Punahou educution Is character—the training of the body by exercise, the training of the mind by exercise and the development of the spirit by exercise, suggestion nnd example. Next to the paramount object of education, the development of the right attitude of the spirit toward life, there come two other qualities to be sought in the development of such a character as will enable one to meet the world with all Its uncertainties and possibilities. You know how n cat, falling from a height or thrown Into the air, always lands on Its feet. There are persons who, If overwhelmed by disaster,—loss of health, wealth, friends, loss of official position, or even succumbing to temptation, they land on their feet like a cat, alert and ready for the next thing that life has for them whether It be a new calamity or an opportunity by which they may retrieve their fortunes. This trait gives one an advantage in life; It is the unconquerable soul that Henry speaks of In his verse,—the quality which keeps one from being discouraged or cast down,—of giving up In despair whatever may happen. The other trait Is akin to this or perhaps Is a different manifestation of the same thing. It Is the quality by which one tends to take the Initiative. You girls and boys know all about this. You know how you admire and look up to those among you who are always taking the lead in your games or entertainments or expeditions or It may be In your mischievous pranks and how willingly you follow them. You may have good morals, be brilliant scholars, be kindhearted and good athletes, yet If you have not this quality of taking the Initiative, you will find yourselves at a disadvantage In life. You will not be useless. You may be In the rank and file of the great army of progress 11 where you will obey orders and be of service, but you cannot lead or control men or exert the wide Influence without this quality that you can with It. These two traits which I have referred to I submit to you, Mr. President, as the chief objects of education next to the spiritual development In the past, and I feel should be still more emphasized In the future. ADDRESS OF REV. HIRAM BING HAM. A tumult of applause greeted Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham, son of the great missionary, as he rose to make the address before the unveiling of the tablet. Dr. Ringham read his address in a clear voice which trembled with emotion as he paid a beautiful tribute to his father and mother. He suld: In the Commercial Advertiser of July H, INST, nearly eight years ago, appeared an editorial paragraph, a portion of which read as follows: "The trustees of Oahu College propoe to set up a memorial In memory of the late Rev. Illram Hingham, first missionary on the Island of Oahu, and a benefactor of the college. The trustees will select a large boulder and place It In position as nearly as possible on the spot where Mr. Hingham's house originally stood. One fuce of the rock will be trimmed off to receive a suitable Inscription." This plan, let It be remembered, was originated by a very appreciative former President of Oahu College, Mr. F. A. Hosmer; but, much to his regret. It was not fully executed before his departure. The exact sile of (he cottage his sin c then been discovered by the unearthing of the foundation of the southern corner, and now, after the lapse of five years, the present President, without any solicitation or suggestion on my part, has nobly come to the rescue, and ex-President Hosmer's cherished plan has been successfully carried out, greatly, of course, to my Joy; and we nre here today to dedicate this memorial, and to witness to our belief In the propriety and usefulness of the same. Hecau--e of my very near relationship to the man whom we today delight to honor, It would be my decided preference to be entirely In the background, but I remember the command first uttered on Mount Sinai, and reiterated by the Christ whom I serve, viz: "Honor thy father and thy mother," so I have. at the especial request of President Griffiths of Oahu College, with much diffidence consented to assist in the exercises of this hour set npnrt to formally perpetuate the memory of one a* the historic deeds of my honored father, a benefactor of theie Islands, who with his wife and his missionary associates, Samuel Whitney and Samuel Ruggles, teachers, Kllsha Loomls, printer, Daniel Chamberlain, farmer, and their wives, a pioneer band of missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, landed on this shore April 19, 1820, Just eighty-five �THE FRIEND 12 yeors ago today, to Introduce the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a heathen people who had for many generations groped In deep darkness nnd gross superstition. Rev. Asa Thurston nnd Dr. Thomas Holman with their wives had beer, landed -even day*. bef'»re at Knilua on Hawaii. To me has been kindly and thoughtfully assigned the simple but delightful ceremony of unveiling this memorial to your view; but previous to my so doing let m,. briefly but freely speak unto you of one of the Apostles to Hawaii. Having rei eived the reluctant permission of Kuinehamehii 11. to spend one year with his missionary associate < in these Islands, Mr. Ringham earnestly began to Win the confidence of the high chiefs and their people, which Confidence he never afterward forfeited. He began at once to learn their language, lo aid ill reducing It to willing, and to establish schools among the people. His wife, my sainted mother, Sybil Moseley Hingham, opened the first school In this city In May, 1820, surely an historic date. It was my father's privilege to prepare the first manuscript for the llrst printing ever done on these shores. In bis "History of the Sandwich Is- lands" he says,"On the 7th of January, 15.2, | year nnd eight months from the time of our receiving the governmental permission to enter the field and teach the people, We commenced printing the language, ln order to give them letters, libraries, and the living oracles ln their might own tongue, that the nation cad and understand the wonderful works of God." nnd he adds, "It was like laying a corner-stone of an Important edifice for the nation." For eighteen years thereafter he continued, as other duties would permit, to furnish material for the printed page, to per- form the duties of the literary head of the mis ion press ln Honolulu and to aid In the promotion of Christian education. Time would full me to indicate the amount of Christian literature he prepared for the press, or the number and character of the schools which h e unceasingly labored to establish. When he first arrived at Honolulu Bokl, the governor of Oahu, was at a distant part of the Island, but, being apprised of the arrival of the mis binaries and of their design, two days The later he returned to Honolulu. historian says of him, "He was then so much under the debasing and distracting influence of strong drink as to be unfit for business except that of a speedy reformation, to which our business would call him." On one occasion, some three months later, this young Governor Rokl came to my father at the close of the public worship to make some Inquiries about the sermon on the text, "Behold the Lainh of God which taketh away the sin of the world," and expressed a wish to be able to read and understand the Bible, and consented to be daily instructed ln It. Nine years later he gave to his beloved teacher this land of Punahou and stretching from the summit of Round Top to King Including Rocky Hill streetf supplemented by fish-pounds, flats, all more or This gift was made In salt-beds, and coral less valuable. IX.it, the year in which Bokl sailed away to the South Seas on his fatal expedition. He had never united with Ihe church, still clinging more or less to his cups, but he appreciated the faithfulness of his instructor and no one can doubt that if he could be pre-ent with us today and behold what our eyes behold on this campus he would exclaim "Nani loa," and greatly rejoice that through his magnificent gift to his teacher the way had been opened whereby his native land had been for so many years blessed with such a Christian institution of learning as Is Oahu College? His «lft Is witness to his sincere gratitude that there had come to his people those who had labored faithfully to Introduce and maintain Christian education and culture among them, and to do them good. Would that he had personally profited more by the faithful Instruction given him. Let not his grateful liberality be forgotten so long as this Institution shall stand. Such I doubt not, would he the sincere wish of my father. Hut v\e are here today e-pei tally to honor the nume of Hiram Ringham, and so 1 appropriately ask, what would be his emotions if he could appear among us at this hour, after nearly slxly-ilve years of absence, twentynine of them spent In straitened circumstances before he went to gloiy and contra.lt what his eyes beheld In August, IS4O (when he took his final leave of this spot of blessed memory, and looked out for the last time from the maknl door of the humble cottage which stood Just where this memorial stands), with what he would now behold, this campus of a noble college, with Its sightly, convenient and wellequipped structures, thronged with students largely Anglo-Saxon, but Including Hawailans and Asiatics cared for by a noble corps of Christian teachers, the President and his associates, and Its Hoard of Trustees, made up of Christian representative men of Honolulu? What, I say, would be his emotions? Methinks his breast would swell with honest pride, his heart beat with sincere gratitude to God that he had given him the opportunity and the Inclination to make such disposition of whatever portion of Oahu's soil he owned in a way that should greatly lend to secure the permanence of christian education and the building up of the Redeemer's kingdom in this Paradise of the Pacific, ln this city of the sea, now under the Stars and Stripes, facing so conspicuously the great empires of China and Japan, the Philippines and the East Indies. Do you think that I would not spring to take him by the hand and congratulate him, and tell him how glad I was, how proud, to look out upon the many acres of this beautiful campus and remember how he was the man who so willingly consecrated them for all time to the furtherance of Christian education and had thus virtually done what he could to repel the foul and oft repeated slander that the missionaries earn,, lo these Islands to take and did take fioin the poor natives their lands for their own personal and selfish aggrandizement? Before I close you will hear with me In my folly. It is not expedient for I will come to nit- doubtless to glory. visions, not of the future, but of the past, Just a few reminiscences of an old man. Punahou cottage, once my home, where the precious mother cherished her little ones. "Backward, turn backward, O Time, ln Dear home, sweet your flight. Make me a child again Just for tonight. Mother, come hack from tlie echoless shore. Take me again to your heart as of yore." Teach me again, as once you did, on this very spot lo lisp Ihe name of Jesus. Point out to me again tile lilies of the valley growing by Ihe side of this cottage, and lead me again to associate them with the name of Ihe meek .mil lowly Teacher who declared himself to bo "the Rose of Sharon and the Idly of the Valley." "Mother, dear mother! the years have been long Since I last hushed to your lullaby song; I'ome from the silence so long and so deep; Koch me to -leep, mother, rock me to sleep." It was never my privilege to be a the Punahou Mission School but I can well remember how In summer days, when the heut was great and we were wont, for a change, to dwell in the humble cottage which stood here, an older sister and myself used to start out on foot to cross the dusty and arid plain two miles to Kawaiahao to attend the little niL-slon school held ln Dr. Judd's back yard, the germ Memory goes back of this college. sixty-six years to the delights of this refreshing spot, where, after the long weary walks of the day, I was wont to meet a mother's welcome, and to refresh myself, not in this magnificent bathing tank so near at hand, but ln an artificial pond originally constructed by my father for purpo<es of Irrigation, but since then used by many generations of students as a place for bathing. It was Just over there, only a few rods away and fed from the same spring as the bathing tank of today. 1 remember with what delight I used to paddle about in my boat, only a box, in a tlsh pond close lo the spring. I remember how 1 was wont to stroll in the cool shadbjr spots so romantic to me In childhood among the banana trees which grew by the side of the pupil at �THE FRIEND taro patches; how ln this cottage we Children eagerly listened to the reading of "the Hollo Hooks" when they first appeared, and bow we rejoiced over the toys as one by one they were taken from the box just arrived from around Cape Horn. Finally, 1 remember how, in a neighboring shady grove, Just a few yards niakai of this cottage, not long before we went forth from it (was it prophetic?), 1 tried to >lng with my sister the anthem "Daughter of Zion, awake (rota thy sadness," which we had beard sung by the choir In the old Bethel on King street. Those were happy days, but they are forever gone. I would not have them back. It Is enough for me, full enough that I have the memory of them; that in my old age I hear the merry voices of the rising student generations as after school hours of faithful study they gleefully roam this campus, seeking rest and recreation; and so long "One is ,l- their motto virtually is, your Master, even the Christ," my heart will to the last, heat with Joy at the remembrance of the gift of my father and the continued prosperity of Oahu College. In your walks through these shady avenues, kind friends, will you not once and again linger a moment here to reread lllis inscription (which I now unveil) and call to mind the labors of love which my dear father put forth in this city for the redemption of Haw-all, and his parting gift, I'unahou? THE TABLET UNVEILED. At the conclusion of Dr. Bingham's address he stepped to the llag-covi red tablet and untied the cord holding the Hags in place.

I had the privilege the other day of reading the will of a gentleman—a privilege which Is not usual—and I saw there that $10,000 were to be given to Punahou when the testator died. I hope that, if he is here, he will make up his mind to give it before he dies. Mr. Dole has said to you that Punahou boys usually land on their feet. I would like to give a little reminiscence before we go. Judge Dole has told about the old times and although I do not remember as far back M that, I remember when Mr. Dole was fifteen years old—l remember It because I am six years older than he Is. At one of the usual church socials held ln town, Judge Dole, who wits a Punahou boy at that time, stored away so much cake and coffee as to leave the Impression that there was no cake and coffee on the Punahou bill-of-fare In those P. C. JONES'S REMARKS. After the band had played "The PilChorus" from Tannhauser Mr. P. C. Jones made a short address which was not on the printed program but which nevertheless caused great enthusiasm as |t meant that the two new dormitories planned to take the place of the present buildings which are both antiquated anil crowded are assured. Mr Jones's remarks were as follows: Friends, it a meeting of Trustees held last week, plans were submitted for a new dormitory. There are two of three in contemplation now—two dormitories and a common dining and living hull—a building similar to Ringham Hull. The only thing lacking Is funds. Fortunately and very happily, just as 1 was (inning out here :l gentleman banded nio a most pleasing letter telling of his desire to contribute $.0,000 to Punahou for himself and his wife, both of Whom Wei,, former pupils of this college.

If the Missionary lioard of the Congregational Churches of America accepts the donation of Mr. Rockefeller, they become thereby practically debarred from denouncing his evil and oppressive business methods. They become practically muzzled. We already see, in most of the advocates of acceptance the tendency to apologize for the donor, to minimize the evil of his conduct, to tell of the injustice of condemning him. If we mistake not, Chicago University is completely and soundly muzzled by this able man the great and noble Baptist church is so muzzled, and now for the sake of half a day's income from him, it is proposed that' our dear old Congregational church clap on his muzzle. May that S. I'.. 1!. dishonor be averted. ; REPUBLIH CANSM AWAII. An Account of Stock. Of course we can only take it parnow. It is not a bad time though. Here is a Republican legislature just in the act of cashing up. It has delivered its goods,—all the goods it had,—and a fine line of "bads," besides whole trunks full of samples. It was well nigh "straight goods," too, straight Republican. They said we would like it straight; the party managers said this, and everybody fell over his neighbor in ecstacy at the glorious victory when we go it "straight." I low do we like it now we have got it? The farmer said when he ate a banana for the first time, —skin and all, (straight, you see) —"It may be good, but it ain't so dern good." Now, honestly, do you think a Home tially just — Rule Legislature would have been worse? It might have done more "fool" things, but dare you affirm that it would have attempted the vicious things planned and at least partly carried out by this "straight" Republican Legislature ? I trow not. Here's some stock: A Sunday bill in the interests of rowdyism and against those of labor, and opposed to the conscience of the community at large,—at violence with the traditions of these Islands and the wishes of those who still hold a moral mortgage on these Islands. Then there's the quite totally bad liquor bill, which the Legislature actually passed,—out of spite, or some other equally infernal reason. The Governor, with his veto constantly unlimbered for action, was what saved the day,—or as much of it as could be saved by a (iovernor with a backbone. By the way, do you remember that you party managers told us, when you urged us to vote the "straight" ticket, that the (iovernor could control the bunch after they were elected? He couldn't, could he? We didn't see anyone who could, when some agitation in town developed the fact that control would be a good thing. People were actually hunting around to see what strings the party managers had on some of these "straight" ticket fellows. If they had 'em they didn't pull them. Here's another remnant,—the Coun- ty Bill. At present writing we tax payers don't feel sure whether we will haveto let the (tther man own our property or not. It would be obviously cheaper, for we can't all get the jobs there are in this thing. Perhaps the (lovernor or the Supreme Court will save us there. Small thanks to the Legislature, however. "Their constituency wanted this County Bill ?" They may have done so once, but it was before they knew the price. What a sensible constituency wants most is a representative with sense enough to change his mind if need be, but at least to save the community against itself. There are other "goods," there is oil, —and whatnot. Of course, this is no inventory. There may be some bargains. But if the whole thing is put up at auction we hardly think we will bid much. As for goods marked "straight," we've sized them up. It's a bad brand. The word "crooked" would be fairer, and we're not buying again. Look here, you Republican jobbers, we've done business with you for a long time, but if you want our business you have got to put up better stuff. We are going into the market the next time, and will "turn you down" without a scruple if you don't have the very best thing there is to be had. Some day there may be enough of us to make you take do'.wn your sign unless you heed. Anyway, we will not hesitate to buy elsewhere, for Despite cheap imitations,—innum- — erable impositions and sharp practices in America, the American people probably want good goods. T. R. ENDEAVOR NOTES. . In the present movement revival there is ample need of workers, young and old, rich and j)oor The more ex- perienced workers need the enthusi asm that younger workers can supply and the young workers need the aid of experienced laborers. What a glorious work may be accomplished if all work, hand in hand, heart to heart! In this campaign the aim is to reach the hearts of the young. Who can have more influence over these young people, who have not yet realized the beautiful soul Gotf has designed for them, than their companions, their friends? Ought not those who are endeavoring to be Christians, the Christian Endcavorcrs, to use their influence to bring their non-Christian friends to a realization of the beautiful soul that lies within, as yet latent, to the beauty of possibilities within it? At a recent meeting several Endeavorera publically expressed their willingness to do whatsoever Christ would have them do. Are there not more who arc willing? There is a call for troops to fight a mighty enemy. If none but former soldiers enlist, our army will be defeated. In the enemy's ranks are welldrilled, men, whose well-armed strength has not been undermined, and who are still in the heyday of youth. Can not the Christian army boast of lu-r valiant young men and Helpful young women ? Experienced officers who have been long enlisted in His service, or who have led armies before, are needed as generals, but without earnest, zealous young soldiers in the rank and file, leaders alone are powerless. Let us then, Endeavorers, be as loyal to our king, Christ, as soldiers are to serve their earthly king, and let us stand together armed with the "sword of the Spirit, the helmet of Salvation, and the breast-plate of Righteousness," and do valiant battle for the "King of Kings." In Central Union Christian Society, each member of the Society is present cd with a packet of envelopes, one for each month of the year, and the amount placed in the January envelope is the minimum sum you pledge for the rest of the year for missions. Several times people arc out of town �15 THE FBIBND. and neglect to send in the money for the months they miss. To prevent this, the following plan has been suggested A card, bearing the name and envelope number of each member, is to be placed in plain sight, and each month each member will put a checkmark in the proper place for each month that he pays his pledge. During the last two weeks several Endeavours have announced their intention to personally try to bring souls to Christ. Many Endcavorcrs are becoming interested in missionary work in Mexico. This is a new field for C. E. missionary interests. M. I-:. PATY. : TIDINGS FROM LIHUE. The Kauai Association of Churches for the regular semiAll the annual session. April IQ. churches of the island were represented. The following were the more important matters which came up for consideration : The Waioli church, llanalei, presented a unanimous call to Rev. I). I'. Mahihila, returned missionary from Micronesia, to become their pastor. The call being confirmed by the Association and accepted by the pastorelect, a committee of five, headed by Rev. J. M. Lydgate, was appointed to install the new pastor, anil May 14 was fixed as the date of the installation. Rev. 7.. M. Xaahumakua, suspended from the ministry some years ago, for grave and sufficient reasons, again applied for reinstatement. The applicalioii was referred to a committee, which brought in a majority report recommending that he be restored, and a minority report that he be not restored. After considerable discussion the minority report was adopted. The report from the church of Hanapepe showed that church to be in a very much enfeebled and depleted condition, owing to the lonir-continued illness of the pastor, Rev. J. R. Kahaleole. The anxious consideration of this report resulted in the proposition to request an annuity from the Hawaiian Board for Rev. J. B. Kahaleole. on condition that he retire from the pastorate of the church, and that the church be then merged with the Waimca church under a single pastor. A committee was appointed to arrange the matter, with power to act. There was a general expression of regret at the passage of the new Sunday Law, with the assured conviction that it would prove most disastrous to met at I.ilme the best interests of the country. 'ITic conservative and courageous stand of the Governor was highly commended, and a committee was appointed to convey to him the hearty approval of the Association. The various churches were recommended to hold special services in the interest of Sunday observance, and the first Sunday in May was set apart for the purpose. The usual spirit of harmony and good fellowship prevailed. The "Ministers' School," under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate, followed the Association meeting and was devoted to study and criticism of sermon outlines based on a given text. It developed a good deal of interest and enthusiasm. Like a mushroom in a night the Saint Paulists have grown up in Koloa. They meet in a private house, where is kept the ark of sacred vestments, white and buttonless, in which they are robed from head to foot. The services are said to be quiet and orderly, not differing materially from other services, save in the white vestments and the anointing with oil, after the manner of the Old Testament. There are premonitions of an increased spiritual interest at Liliue. A cottage prayer meeting was held on Good Friday at the house of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lydgate, at which there was a general expression of a desire for a blessing, and Other meetings were arranged for. Special Easter services were held at Liliue and at Koloa. J. M. L. MARRIAGES.

This makes no account of some unpaid ac- counts in our favor. Yes, we expected it; and gave notice of our anticipated Halclujiihs and here they are. It is no little joy to all concerned to close the year without debt. "In Again?" That is the question some are asking. To which we answer regretfully, "Yes." And we account for it by pointing to the regularity of our salaries and the irregularity of our receipts. We pay out over $2,500 every month in salaries. Would that people would give every month! But failing of that sort of giving, we gratefully take our help as it comes and 7Cf No. 6 HONOLULU, T. H..JUNE, 1905 VOL. LXII believe that it will come. turned from the endeavor to enthrone righteousness in the legislative side of civic life to that of aggressive Christian propaganda. There is something splendidly healthful about the life that a downright disciple of Jesus must lead in this more than semi-pagan community. It is sleeves rolled up and into the fray every day, with a new sort of battle continually menacing. The Honoulu Christian must be an allaround fighter. Today it is the saloon, tomorrow the Asiatic Sunday; one moment the legalized brothel, the next a decaying church, and then close upon its heels the demon of graft. There arc so few unready to compromise that no time is given a real soldier for laying aside the armor. It is a glorious environment and out Qf it must come a grist both of strong men and degenerates. ThankGod there is no place for on-the-fenceism in Hawaii. The three and one-half weeks' campaign, under Dr. Ostrom and his two comrades, meant business. More than once most of the active participants were wounded by sheer weariness into temporary rest seeking. But with everyone it was a wink of sleep, then up and at it again. Best of it all the entire movement was so sane, so free from claptrap, from emotion for emotion's sake, and from every suggestion of artificiality (or being-got-upness, as our Anglo-Saxon enthusiast puts it), that in retrospect the entire experience grows in blessedness. We pity the few fault finders who were too busy criticising to take time to share the good things offered them. Hence, this debt we only expect to be What Next? Honolulu is the best place in the temporary and though it will cost us American nation for a revival, because the awakened Christian is so beset something in interest on overdraft we here with demands for real service for Christ. The only way to keep the expect to be free of it at the end of the heart warm for Jesus is to get the hands busy for Him. It is no challenge year. A budget is being carefully pre- to a man's wits to hunt up the King's business in this community. Mr. Rath pared and will be lived up to. at Palama, Mrs. Damon at Mills, Mr. Rider in Kakaako, Mr. Gulick, Mrs. T R, Mary Wilcox, Mr. Turner, Mr. Rich- ards and Mr. Scudder would positively think the millenium were approaching if a dozen revived Christians should beset them with the apostolic salutation, "Have you anything for us to do in Christ's name?" Right here let their answer be heard in thunder tones, "We have. Just give us one night a week honestly.or a few hours on Sunday, and we will keep your heart singing through eternity." What Christianity most needs in Honolulu is this personal grapple with the heathenism all about us. We speak not so much of heathenism in religious system as of heathenism in daily living. If the revival had any vital message for you, translate it into personal activity for other people and so prove its reality. AChallenge to Christians "What are you going to do with these girls?" This was the poser asked by High Sheriff Henry recently of a Christian man who had fought tooth and nail against Iwilei, as they stood one" Sunday morning facing an iron screen on the top floor of the new jail, and looking through the bars into the facts of a dozen young women. "I could fill the jail with them, but when we turn them out there is no place for them to go but back to their former life. What will you Christians do with them ?" It was a question inspired by God's Spirit. And if we followers of Jesus do not set about finding an answer we are the meanest hypocrites in Christendom. We have no right to insist that these girls be arrested if we cannot help them and society thereby. We can help them. How? By doing, for instance, what is done in Brooklyn by the Helping Hand and in many other places by similar agencies. Let our Christian women erect an institution in which useful trades or occupations shall be taught and to which the courts will be glad to commit these girls for terms sufficient to enable them to learn how to earn an honest living. Put some noble-hearted sagacious mother-soul in charge, and when the girls have served their terms let them be kept in sight, provided with work and tided over into right living. A large proportion can be saved by such Christian treatment. In �4 the face of this demand what has the revival in the souls of Christian women in Honolulu to say? If this sort of thing issues from the spiritual uplift brought to many during May month, the movement will mark a historical era in this Territory. Remember, many of these girls are Porto Ricans, unable to find work, incapable of doing for themselves, fitted by our civilization for nothing other than to become the prey of the lustful. The Eighty=Third Milestone The Evangelical Association meeting this year lacked entirely the splendid finish of its predecessor at Lihue. Called together in great haste, with scarcely sufficient time to notify its members, and without leisure for adequate preparation, evidences of forethought were conspicuously absent. There had been no opportunity to complete arrangements with transportation companies or to organize entertainment committees. Delegates had to camp out as best they could, but all realized that good things of an unusual order were in store, and no complaints were heard. Business proved remarkable for its absence. Only routine matters came up for treatment, and these were quickly gotten out of the way. The presence of the evangelists from the mainland had been the cause of gathering in such an unusual manner and naturally the Rible conference absorbed the interest. The complete program tells the story of the week of meetings. From first to last they were of vital power. The addresses, internreted with great force by Rev. Mr. Desha, produced profound and lasting impressions. The simultaneous meetmes of the various races, held in different parts of Kawaiahao Church during certain hours constituted an innovation which will be followed in future annual gatherings. In fact, the ministry of the Association is steadily trowing in richness and power. The delegates returned home with renewed consecration, and many of them with a fresh spiritual baptism.

We believe Russia will rise up to call blessed the heroes who are trailing the banners of her Czar in the dust of Manchuria and sinking his vessels in the waters of the Far East. The whole world will owe Japan lasting gratitude if she demonstrates the enormous losses of a great war and its awful horrors with such clearness that the nations, with one voice, will consent to disarm and henceforth live side by side under law. God hasten the day and sternly speed this war to such a glorious end. What for the New Year Our debt is paid. The relief of this statement no one can know who has not shared the burden of the past four years. We are very grateful to the generous friends who rallied to our call for help a few months since and we realize to the fullest extent the timely assistance of the American Missionary Association through the instrumentality of which our Tsland friends were convinced that the Christian enterprise in Hawaii had received a mainland backing insuring constantly larger things. With a missionary society effort never ceases, however, and even while the hurrahs are sounding over one victory. the next battle must be planned. What has been done this year can certainly be repeated. Nay. can we not better it? We ought to have an income from these Islands of &io.ooo to meet the demands of our field. Our constituency mnv be assured of the strictest economy in the future as in the nast. There are two Congreeational Churches in the city of Brooklyn whose members number about 4.300 and whose home expenditures total somewhat over $48,000. If the amount of work done by the Board through its scores of pastors, evaneelists and teachers be compared with that of these two mio-htv churches, some notion may be rained of the wide extent of territory covered and the variety of agencies supported by the 145.500 expended here. Tan voti put your money into any better investment for God and your spiritual nature than this? If not. will you not -eneat your last eift to the Board and nhis to it a pledo-e that this enterprise shall be enlarged? things he had never before hoped to get." Something should be said on both sides of these statements. First, concessions in the shape of redress of wrongs can never be granted too quickly. Stories frequently come to us of cruelties which should never be allowed for a moment upon a plantation. Lunas should be instructed that a single blow deliveretl against any laborer except in self defense means instant dismissal, and plantation hands should know that insubordination will receive like treatment. Opportunity should be given laborers to report cruel handling to the manager. We have it on good authority that every strike will be found to have at its foundation some instance of brutality. Of course, we cannot vouch for this statement. As often pointed out the Japanese professional agitator is altogether too much in evidence in this Territory. The plantation has it in its power to rid itself of much of this kind of evil by ending the collusion between policemen and the gambling, womanrenting element. No quarter should be shown these birds of prey, and no community on earth can be found to equal a sugar plantation in the possibility of getting rid of such ill-omened vultures. Here is the place where concessions made to Japanese tell directly in the line suggested by the Advertiser. The Japanese will respect rigorous treatment of gamblers and brothel keepers. Right in this line comes that other sort of concession which has led so many Christians at the head of sugar enterprises to compromise with Buddhism by contributions of money to build temples and maintain priests and schools in order to win the good will of the laborers. Such a conscienceless procedure never attains its object. With slight change we reecho the sentiments of our big brother the Advertiser "It seems to us that such concessions to the Japanese should stop. As a rule the Asiatic looks upon a cowardly concession as an act of fear, and it emboldens him to ask for things he had never before hoped to get." For a Christian to help build Buddhist temples, employ Buddhist priests and erect or maintain Buddhist schools in order to keep the Japanese laborer contented is a cowardly concession and is recognized as such by the little brown man who laughs in his sleeve at him who makes it and proceeds to insist upon still more unreasonable demands. �5 THE FRIEND. The Revival. The campaign was a remarkable one. First for its spirit of Christian unity. I Central Union Church, because of the size of its auditorium, naturally served as the locus for the public services. nolulu Rev. Henry Ostrom and family, The Methodist, Christian and PortuMr. John P. Hill's and Mr. and Mrs. guese Churches gadly gave up their Fred Butler for a special campaign of own meetings, contributed enthusiasAfter several weeks of preparation, of frequent union meetings and of much individual prayer, the Christians of this city sent a goodly delegation to the wharf on May 3 to welcome to Ho- much for the future of the Kingdom here. A second notable characteristic was the smallness of the audiences except on the occasions of the usual services —Sunday and Wednesday. This was in itself a clear demonstration of the largeness of the Christian problem here and of the restricted nature of Honolulu our available resources. bulks well in population. Its white American Protestant population, however, is small. It has not the reserves that appear in cities on the mainland and crowd to such a series of meetings as the one just closed. It is to be doubted whether any community on earth with so few really active disciples is carrying on so extensive and so costly a Christian enterprise as is the case with Honolulu. The audiences told a great story of courage, and instead of dismaying, fired all hearts with new boldness. "Fear not, little flock ; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." This word of Jesus has come with vital meaning and encouragement to us all. Dr. Ostrom, Mr. Hillis and Mr. Butler were also a constant exhibition of the truth that we have entered the era of the new evangelism. JOHN HENRY OSTROM, D. D. evangelism. The strains of the "Glory Song" sent forth a prophetic greeting to these new friends as they filed down the gang plank and worked their way through the gathered crowd. That evening the meetings began and continued with the intermission of but one Saturday until Sunday, May 29, when they closed with an inspiring evening service. tic corps of workers and entered so heartily into the enterprise that no one uninformed could have told to which church ministers or people belonged. "Like a mighty army moved the Church of God" in Honolulu from first to last. If there were any inter-church bickerings or murmur they were too feeble to reach our ears. It is safe to say that this spirit will mean P. HILLIS. Take Mr. Hillis. for example. He is as different from the old-time, arm-swinging, enthusiasm-compelling chorus leader as one can well imagine. Solid in build, with a melodious voice that penetrates musically every corner of the auditorium, dignified, yet splendidly powerful, he knows how to call forth singing out of the soul of every one present, so that it becomes not "hurrah boys," but spiritual expression. With such a soloist, too, as Mr. Butler, the old-time evangelistic murderer of music has given place to the apostle of cultured Christian song. Our people were wonderfully moved by classic music interpreted by �THE FRIEND 6 KRKD BUTI.KR a warm-hearted, thoroughly trained enthusiast of Christ. It was a revelation to many, for in Mr. Butler the highest culture has become the handmaid of the Cross, as it should he. Some of us, who have longetl ami sighed for just such a day, are readyto shout for joy, for our eyes have seen the salvation of the Lord. And Dr. Ostrom—God bless him!— is himself one type of the new evangelist. In the first place, he never breathes a hint that he or anyone else ever heard of such a thing as the Higher Criticism. The era of foolish polemics is over and each man, cherishing his own theories of the Blessed Book, may now go on unmolested in his search into this God-given mine of Truth. No stirring of prejudices, no shibboleths of the unessential, no tirades against the Church, no pillorying of this or that Christian who lias brought reproach upon the cause, but a faithful, searching setting forth of the good tidings in Jesus Christ. A present day gospel, that is to say, just as new and vital today as nineteen hundred years ago, was proclaimed so vigorously and truthfully that it gripped everyone present. Dr. Ostrom is loveable and loving, stern in his dealing with sin, persistent, patient, eloquent, can tell a story well, is not afraid of a laugh and knows how to talk homely Anglo-Saxon. He is apt to prolong the service, so as to tax at times the endurance of the people who live in this climate, where late hours cannot be indulged healthfully. Hut even here he shows practical acquaintance with good psychological laws and inasmuch as such services are only occasional, it is of no moment. In the after meeting Dr. Ostrom is ever new and very winsome. He tolerates nothing half way, appeals never to the merely emotional, does not work up his audiences, convinces the reason, gets at the will in rare fashion, and leaves men strong. He is the best introducer of men to Jesus that we have ever known among evangelists. In fact, his only message is, "Get into personal touch with Christ." He well knows that the Master will tlo the rest. Now all this goes to make up a picture distinctly modern in evangelism. The.flings at evolution, at newer critical thought are gone forever. The man has graduated into the larger, higher plane of liberty, where each one keeps his differences to himself, or for friendly interchange, while he lives in the spirit of the Christian brotherhood, and constantly preaches a living, regnant Jesus, humanity's King and Savior. The ethical note sounds loud and clear, as it always has tlone in fact with every evangelist worthy of the name. The new evangelism has come at last and turns out to be gloriously old. Let its thank God, join hands and press onward. The campaign abounded in the picIt was characteristic of Honolulu's strategic character ami gloriously prophetic. The ships came and went, brought their men to the services, where they met their Master, and then left to carry Him and His Gospel with them to far away shores. ■All races gathered side by side and realized their human ami divine unity. The Bible Conference, into which the Territorial Association resolved itself, knew no denominational or other lines. It provided equally for the Koreans, who are Methodists, as for the Japanese and Chinese, who are Congregate malists. Names counted nothing, only men. It was all "Very good," as God said at the creation. And the results? The ancient liebrew had the idea that Jehovah hated enumerations. In this statistic-mad age some of us think him not so far wrong after all. The Churches are receiving a goodly number of additions, just how many we have not heard. Certainly a great many Christians have gained new vital power. The whole city of English-speaking people has been moved, the very criticisms show that. But these evidences argue little. The first seen things must he superficial in such a movement. After a year has gone by we can begin to get a better perspective. Indications point to far wider and deeper results than can now be guessed. Way out in country places and among simple folk of other races than our own we look for stirrings and strivings of the Spirit; in Honolulu itself quiet movements of no special observation, we believe, arc beginning: all of which in lime will tell turesque. the larger story of what has been to so many of us individually a true revival. I). S. HIGHER CRITICS VS. MACHPELAH. As we all know, the advanced and prevailing school of Higher Critics have quite settled it among thmselves that the Hexateuch is unhistorical. Those earlier books of the HebrewScriptures are entirely the compositions of a scries of later writers and editors, mostly not earlier than 750 B. C. Nothing is really known of the great Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are probably names of Hebrew tribes, and not of individuals. Even Moses is mainly a myth. That portion of the Bible may be morally instructive, but is not to be taken as sober fact. Now, these settled conclusions of the Critics are not based upon anything but their own fantastic guesses, except a philosophic conclusion that miracles and supernatural events are merely dreams and superstitions. There is no substantial, historical basis for those conclusions, nothing but their own unbelieving dreams anil fancies. So far as explorations in Bible Lands have gone, they tend to confirm the verity of Genesis and the patriarchal stories. Up to the present time, excavations have been confined to Egypt and Babylonia. Palestine, below the surface, remains almost entirely unexplored, owing to the jealousy of the Turkish Government. A vast field of information there awaits exploration. What little has been accomplished in the Holy Land confirms the narratives of the Hexateuch. One grand witness of portentous importance remains silent and unquestioned. That is the Cave of Machpelah. According to Genesis XXIII, Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite, the field and cave of Machpelah for a burial place for his wife, Sarah. There Sarah was buried ; Abraham followed her to the same tomb, ami probably Isaac. Jacob was also buried there. Joseph and his other suns carried thither his embalmed body from Egypt, and interred it with a great mourning. Arc those remains of the patriarchs now in that tomb? Can their presence testify to the truth of the history? The tomb of Machpelah still exists near Hebron. It is well known. Through all the vicissitudes that have passed over Palestine, it is believed to have remained undisturbed. It has al- �7 THE FRIEND ways been an object of most sacred regard, alike to Jews, Mohammedans and Christians. Since the Crusades, for 800 years the Mohammedans have jealously guarded the Holy Tomb. It was by special permission of the Sultan, visited, but not penetrated, by the young Prince of Wales and Dean Stanley, the only Europeans who have ever passed within its outer courts. Whenever the Jewish people again come into the possession of their ancient home, which event seems to be in the near future, it is probable that a period of eager exploration will immediately begin. No spot will appeal more urgently for their reverent and searching investigation than the burial place of Abraham, Sarah and Jacob, and probably others of the family. The bodies of most of them may have fallen into decay. But the mummy of Jacob is probably still perfect and intact, with its expected wealth of testimony to the Egyptian episodes. Until this silent witness to history has yielded up its disclosures, it may he premature to assume what its testimony will be as to the personal reality of those patriarchs, whose existence these brave critics undertake to deny. But what rash assumption is theirs tooffer such denial, in the known presence of such a potent witness, who still abides unquestioned. Nay, what effrontery is theirs to venture such denial. When the locality is so well known, so verified and so consecrated by the venerating worship of thirtysix hundred years. And this, the chief, is only one of hundreds of minor witnesses still buried beneath the soil of the Holy Land waiting to testify to the historical verity of the sacred narratives. We may continue to accept their truth and be guided by their teachings, regardless of the fantastic inventions of the Critics, whose unbelief has so shamefully infected our Churches ami Theological S. E. B. Seminaries. A VISIT TO THE DOSHISHA. One of the places of great interest in Kyoto is the Doshisha College. It is now about thirty years since this educational work was started, and many of the workers in various places in Japan, have had their training here. During a two or three days' stay in this old capital of Japan, a visit to the Doshisha was much enjoyed, and it was a great pleasure to speak to the young men there, and tell them something of the work and needs of Hawaii. I was especially interested in seeing how this institution had grown, because my father made the first sub- scription to Mr. Neesima towards starting the college. The morning that I spoke in the chapel to the students gathered there, one of the professors told the following story, as an introduction, and explained how Mr. Neesima started the Doshisha. It was after he had finished his studies in America and was just about to return to Japan, that he attended the sixty-fifth annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, which was held at Rutland, Vermont, on ( let. gth, 1874. He had spoken before, to Secretary Clark and Mr. Hardy of the Board, in reference to his great hope for a Christian College for Japan, but had received little encouragement. At the meeting, however, he was asked to say a few words. He arose to his feet, and with great hesitation faced the meeting. It seemed as if he did not know what to say, so that the chairman leaned over and whispered: "Say anything Mr. Neesima, repeat the Lord's Prayer." But it was not that, his heart was too full for his beloved Japan. He remembered Mr. Hardy's word just before the meeting: "Joseph, the matter looks rather dubious, but you might try it." This was his one chance to bring the matter of "Higher Christian Education for Japan," before a large American audience. He could nut remember his prepared speech, but new thoughts came to him, and for fifteen minutes he poured out his soul for his one aim. He declared that Japan must have tliis college and that he would not leave the platform without the money he asked for it. The appeal went to the hearts of his hearers. No sooner had he finished speaking than my father, Rev. E. P. Thwing, stood up and said that he wished to have the pleasure of giving the first hit of gold to start this Christian College in I'.pan. Hon. Peter Parker of Washington, Ex-Governor Page of Vermont, Hon. William Dodge of New York, and others followed with liberal subscriptions, and soon some $5,000.00 was raised towards the fund to start a Christian College in Japan. From this beginning came the Doshisha, which has been sending out men to all parts of Japan, and even to the work in Hawaii. Many friends of men in I lonolulu were met with. All seemed to have a great interest in our work there. The young men also feel they have a duty towards the greater Empire of China. Before long the Christian young men of Japan will be among the missionaries in China. There is a great future for Japan, and the Church of Christ is to have her share. E. W. THWING. Kyoto, Japan, March 18th, 1905. MISS SNOW'S FAREWELL. On Saturday, April 15th, the pupils of Maunaolu Seminary gave I farewell luau to Miss Snow, the retiring principal. Besides teachers and pupils, there were present many parents of the children, the trustees of the school and a number of its friends. After the bountiful feast, farewell addresses were made by Mr. Hardy for the trustees and by Rev. Mr. Emerson, and to express the gratitude of the parents, by Rev. Mr. laea of Haiku and Mr. Kanui of Waihee. Gifts were then presented to Miss Snow by each of the four classes, and a beautiful ode was sung, which was composed by a member of one of them as a tribute to the beloved principal. The idea of the "luau" originated with the girls, who provided and prepared everything with the aid of their parents. It was a total surprise to Miss Snow, who, by accepting an invitation to spend the previous night at a neighbor's house, was kept in entire ignorance till the appointed hour. This is but one of the strong testimonies to the deep hold she has won on the hearts of her pupils, and the high esteem in which she is held by teachers, trustees and many friends resident on Maui. Indeed, during the two years of her stay, she has done a great work in reorganizing the school and placing it on a basis more thoroughly classified, not only- academically, hut industrially, besides being more complete in necessary appointments. An enthusiastic friend has remarked, "The school work is now so systematized that with care it will run itself." The school is placed on a basis of half-day work, giving a proper division of academic and industrial work, thus dignifying the latter and giving it equal value in the minds of the students. The latest school books have l*ecn introduced and a graded course of study can noyv be pursued, with certificates and graduation for those who complete it. In the seyving department, a practical course in plain sewing and fitting has been so developed that the girls will be able to draft, cut ami make their own garments. The laundry has been improved by the addition of more modern appliances and a drying-shed. The basement and trunk-room, which once was liable to be afloat in stormy weather, has now a cemented floor and is protected by storm sheds. Further thoughtfulness for the girls has provided for food and fruit brought them by their friends; each has now a wire-screen locker for this purpose. Miss Snow has also made a good beginning for more efficient hospital service. There are three adjoining rooms, �THE FRIEND 8 to the windows of which blinds have been added. Each bed is provided with an electric bell. The hospital supplies, linen, utensils, etc., are keot apart and the training of certain girls in hospital work has been initiated. The fact that of the twenty-five or more girls who were ill during the late epidemic of typhoid fever which visited the school, not one life was lost, speaks well for the faithful devotion, careful attention and nursing which they received at the hands of Miss Snow and her assistants. Though earnestly interested in the development of Maunaolu and reciprocating the affection of her pupils, it seems to her best to return to Hampton Institute, Virginia, where she taught for fifteen years previous to coming to Maui, and which suggested to her that for two years the doors would be held open to her for her return. She is to be associated with the widow of General Armstrong in the care of one of the departments. At Maunaolu she is to be ably succeeded by Miss Hensner, one of the teachers in the academic department. By Miss Snow's departure, Maui loses an eminently successful educator and an exceptional character, who by her large heart, sincerity and strength, has endeared her to all who have been so happy as to know her. O. P. E. WHR Y OCKEFELLER'S CRIME IS UNQUESTIONABLE. In the case of John D. Rockefeller there is one conspicuous feature establishing the fact of his guilt, which does not seem to have been noted with adeIt is this: Mr. quate definiteness. Rockefeller has been for many years the conspicuous and tenacious holder of a vast possession which in the very nature of the case has been iniquitously acquired and is wrongfully held. That peculiar possession of his creation and acquisition is the Absolute Monopoly of the Oil Refining Business of the whole United States. The fact is notorious and undeniable that, save at the penalty of being relentlessly crushed, no man or set of men can make and sell Refined Oil without the consent of the Standard Oil Company, which Mr. Rockefeller created and of which he is the chief proprietor, becoming thereby the wealthiest private individual on this Globe. Now such a monopoly as that of the handling of oil from wells all over the United States, which are the property of a multitude of different men, is in the nature of the case an artificial and unrighteous monopoly. It is necessarily a grand Public Robbery. The man who created and holds such a monopoly cannot possibly have acquired it except by iniquity. He cannot honestly possess it. He cannot have righteously acquired it. It is a vast public property which he has gathered into his private possession by cunning means and methods which are necessarily wicked. We do not need to explore those means and methods before arriving at a conclusive and irrefutable judgment upon his conduct. He stands conspicuously forth as a Giant Robber parading before the whole nation with the plunder upon his person. The actual means and methods employed in effectuating this enormous robbery have been fully set forth by Miss Ida B. Tarbell. But we do not at all need Miss Tarbell's very conclusive expositions to settle the fact that Mr. Rockefeller is such a robber, simply because the entire public see him shamelessly holding in his clutch a vast property which is in the nature of the case a plunder from other men. The Prudential Committee of the American Board have formally declared with the support of a great majority of the corporate members that "It is impossible for this committee to investigate the subject sufficiently to be warranted in passing judgment over the heads of the Church and the civil courts." "Membership in good standing in the Christian Church should be regarded as sufficient evidence of worthiness for solicitation for the work of the Board." That is, since Mr. Rockefeller holds good standing in the Baptist Church, he is presumptively an honest man, and not the colossal pirate which the whole people of the United States clearly discern him to be. We repel as futile and absurd the charge that we who would have none of his money are Lynchers, trying him by mob law. Let those who take of his plunder beware lest they participate in his shame! S. E. BISHOP. companion have received a warm welcome in Honolulu, and he has immediately entered upon a short term of ministering to the Nuuanu Street Japanese Congregational Church, to fill a vacancy until the soon expected arrival of Rev. Koki to whom this Church has sent a strong call. Mr. J. Fukuda, who has completed nearly three years of faithful service at Lihue, Kauai, is now at Hamakua, Hawaii, seeking to gain a foothold for evangelistic service among the many thousands of his needy countrymen in that flourishing portion of our favored islands. Mr. Komeji Komuro, one of our long resitlent Japanese youth, one yvho has had the benefit of six years of schooling in the Hilo Boarding School, and one year under the instruction of Rev. J. Leadingham, has now completed a two years' course at The Moody Bible Institute, from which he graduated with high honors in December, IQO4. He has reached Oakland, and is expected to arrive in Honolulu very soon, with the prospect of joining Dr. Baker in his missionary work for the people of the many races who dot the high lands, or nestle on the peaceful shores of elysian Kona.

GULICK Honolulu climate seemed to realize the claim of this joyous occasion and responded by clothing the 19th day of May with the beauty of perfect Hawaiian weather, than which the world has none better. By three o'clock the spacious lawns of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Richards, who so kindly acted as host and hostess, began to be thronged with friends, Hawaiian, Japanese, Portuguese and Anglo-Saxon, gathered to bring messages of friendship and congratulation to Rev. and Airs. Orramel H. Gulick, whose energy and youthful spirit seem to defy old age. The Territory has had not a few celebrations of the kind, but this was the first born of in which both bride and groom, white parents in Hawaii, had reached the Mrs. Gulick had as golden anniversary. mementoes of the wedding the fan and handkerchief she had carried that day. After an hour of informal social interchange, Hon. Peter C. Jones summoned all friends to the grassy amphitheater in front of the house and called upon Hon. W. R. Castle to present the congratulations of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, of which he is President: Mr. Castle said: The very pleasant duty has devolved on me of conveying to you the cordial greetings of your cousins, the children of the Hawaiian Mission. Reading the pages of the Third Annual Report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society it appears that, "following the usual opening exercises of the annual meeting, which was held in the old school house in Kawaiahao, O H..

This very interesting report continues, An opportunity being offered, appropriate and encouraging remarks were made by the Reverend Fathers Thurston, Coan, Armstrong and Smith." One cannot help wishing that some of these appropriate and encouraging remarks had been preserved, for may it not be said, you are with us today because you observed and followed the words of encouragement and wisdom dropped by these venerable Fathers.

Most of the missionary life of Mr. and Mrs. Gulick having been passed in connection with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the Prudential Committee of that Board learning of the glad event of the afternoon, had sent a letter expressing the appreciation of this honored society to be read at the celebration, asking that it be presented by Rev. D. Scudder in his capacity as a Corporate Member of the Board. This letter was next read as follows: bnth for helping to Boston, Mass., March 23, 1005. Mrs. Orramel Hi Gulick, Honolulu, T. H. I 'cry Dear Friends : At the meeting of the Prudential Committee held on Tuesday of this week, March 21st, information was given of the fact that the 19th of May next would be the fiftieth anniversary of your marriage. This information led to some statements in regard to your long and varied services, and the Committee directed me. as its clerk, to send you a mes- Rev. and �THE FRIEND. 10 sage of love and congratulation, in view of this approaching anniversary. How much there is upon which we can with We utmost heartiness congratulate you! think first of all of your birth as children of Christian missionaries, and of the training and influences you received in your early life among those devoted people who, yvith your parents, were seeking to establish the Kingdom of Christ in the Island World. The fact has come to our knowledge that the 28th of May next, is another anniversary, the 57th, of the day in 1848, when with twelve other children of missionaries at the Islands, you both made your open confession of faith and were united to Christ's Church. You have walked together in the Christian life even longer than you have in the marriage relation. We congratulate you as we recall your united earthly service at the Islands, and especially in connection with the establishment of the Female Boarding School at Waialua. From 1870 onward you were permitted to do royal work in Japan, especially at Kobe and Niigata. You were among the first to enter that land in Christ's name, and proclaim among an unenlightened people the message of Christ's love. You saw the Kingdom of Heaven in that land in its stage as a mustard seed, but before you left it had grown to be a great tree. Together you toiled for Christ among the Japanese, winning them to the Saviour. And when in the great movements of God's providence so many of the Japanese to whom you had devoted your lives, came to Hawaii needing your guidance and help there, you followed them to the land of your birth to continue the work on the other shore of the Pacific Ocean. And now you have been kept in active service on your beloved Hawaii nei until you come to the jubilee of your united lives. We recall briefly these facts in your lives both that we may express our heartiest congratulations to you, and that we may thank God more devoutly for what He has permitted you to be and to do. May other years of blessing come to you, and through them all may the joy of the Lord be your strength. In behalf of the Prudential Committee, I am At your wedding there doubtless gathered avenues of opportunity which you gladly enmany of those who laid the foundations ot tered.

You have watched the growth of the church you helped to plant, from the beginning until now the Christians of our order muster well nigh 12,000 strong, with an intense desire for independence and self-support, ends for which you strove unceasingly. In the meantime, the Protestant body has increased from perhaos a dozen to an enrolled membership of nearly 50,000, while including the Roman and Greek communions, the enrollment rises to nearly 135,000. representing a Christian community of 300,000, possibly of the Master's Kingdom in the world. In all these varied experiences, you have stood side by side and we are sure that, as you look back upon the past on the day oT your jubilee, while hardships, trials, disappointments, and sorrows will not be forgotten, irratitude and joy will be uppermost in your hearts. We believe that your eyes have not been holden; you have seen the glory of the Lord as His providences have unrolled before you; you have acknowledged His leadership in the darkness and in the light; and with sturdy faith you look forward, making sure that in the future the same divine leadership will be revealed. We in our turn are grateful for the providence which brought you to our Mission and gave it the aid of your counsels in shaping the policy of the Mission and of your unflagging co-operation througn so many years.

Your joint memories with mine extend back to those early days nearly seventy years ago when our missionary parents were in the fullest activity of their most fruitful and wonderful work of redeeming, by the extraordinary Divine aid, the Hawaiian nation from their deep bondage of evil gods and heathen immorality. A few years after your most happy union you were led to devote following greeting: "Fifty glad years filled with glad days for the crown of united lives to Mr. and Mrs. Gulick. As associates of Mrs. Gulick in the work of the Woman's Board of Missions we bring our congratulations on this memorable occasion. "As laborers in Christ's harvest field, you have gathered gold sheaves from Hawaii and Japan; thus through you the gold of divine truth has been brouirht into lives which would otherwise have passed in darkness, and you have been permitted to cheer and bless the little ones of God. "As you draw near to the gates of pearl and your sun sinks below the heavenly horizon, let the light from the City of God shine fuller and clearer until the 'twilight' shall brighten unto perfect days." It seemed especially fitting that the congratulations of the Hawaiian Christians should be conveyed by Rev. W. N. Lono, pastor of Kaumakapili Church, in the Sunday School of which Mrs. Gulick has long conducted a flourishing class and who himself was for many years a missionary in Micronesia. Mr. your footsteps were approaching that resplendent city of the Sacred Land. We bless you both who are of the stock of the fathers, and pray that your love and patience may continue to abound towards the churches of our land from Hawaii to Kauai, and that the blessing of God which is greater than the riches of the world, may continue to abound toward His people. We pray that love and blessings may follow you all the days of your life, and that the happiness which human language can not describe may come as the "ift of God to you. Now beloved Parents, please receive these inadequate expressions of our regard for you; and may the remainder of your days that you may dwell in the Land, be filled with the light of that shining Home, where in the Spirit we shall meet that great Teacher, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Mr. Lono had hrdly ceased speaking before Rev. T. Okumura, the veteran Japanese evangelist, stepped forward and in Japanese offered the following congratulations: A Japanese proverb says that "A human life of seventy years is rare from ancient time," and more rare must be fifty years of married life. So we congratulate Ren. and Mrs. O. HI Gulick on their golden wedding with deep gratitude to God, who gave to His faithful couple such a long life. Rev. and Mrs. Gulick have spent twentytwo years in Japan as missionaries, and then have been working for our countrymen in these Islands until today. For thirty-six years out of the fifty years, they have been devoting their lives to and have labored for the salvation and benefit of the people of the "Rising Sun Kingdom." So we congratulate them on their long life together with hearty tnanks to the Lord who gave us these noble friends. Hereby we Japanese evangelists present a watch to express our congratulations and gold thanks. Close behind Mr. Okumura came Deacon M. Hayakawa of the Nuuanu Street Japanese Church, who said in his own tongue: "In our friends, Rev. and Mrs. Gulick, we are glad to see body and spirit robust as though still young, although mot z than three score years and ten have passed over them. You offered your lives for Japan, laboring tirelessly to spread the Gospel of Christ and to your love and kindness we owe in part the present condition of Christianity among our people. We behold in you the fulfillment of Paul's words, 'But one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, 1 press on towards the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' We who have been under your instructions and who respect you so highly overflow with joy and happiness on this glad anniversary, recalling our proverb which says, 'The righteous man lives long.' The continued prayer of your friends of Nuuanu Church is that God may continue long to spare your lives aijd fill your home with His gracious blessing." At this juncture Justice S. B. Dole of the United States District Court, pressed into the inner circle and in fitting phrase bore testimony to the great debt that the Provisional Government and the Republic of Hawaii, of both of which he had been President? owdd to Mr. Gulick for his patriotic services rendered throughout those trying years and particularly recalling the part he bore in giving advice to the authorities during the historic episode with Japan. At the conclusion of Judge Dole's address Mrs. So, the Japanese Bible woman, presented a gift from her countrymen, after which the following very interesting letter was read from Mrs. S. A. Gulick: My Dear Cousin Orramel: Please accept these sleeve buttons as a memento of the past history of several generations. Mother Gulick gave them to Charles in his early life, and as I understand the history of them is: They were your great grandfather's in the time of the Revolution, handed down to your grandfather, General Thomas, and worn by him during his military life in the war of 1812. I have intended passing them over to you for some time past, but neglected to do so. Now I thought this, your fiftieth anniversary of your wedding day, would be most fitting. With my many loving congratulations to you and Cousin Annie. Hoping with the will of our heavenly Father that we may all met at your diamond anniversary. SAREPTA A. GULICK. May 19th, 1905. Mr. Jones then introduced a representative of the Japanese consulate who bore a memorial from friends in official life. The more formal exercises were closed by Mr. Jones, who with the introduction "Money �THE FRIEND 12 talks," proceeded to let some $650 in gold bring their message of good wishes from, a host of friends in and out of the Islands. Mr Gulick then arose to voice the gratitude of Mrs. Gulick and himself for the spontaneous and wide expressions of friendshin which had characterized the afternoon. He declared that the united life of fifty years had been cr.owned with God's richest blessing to whom all the glory was due and found his conception ot u all but expressed in the hymn of the Church! "Awake, my soul, to joyful days." Which he read with deep feeling. The assembly then spontaneousl" took up the refrain, singing the first verse as a final response. The afternoon closed with refreshments and the cutting of the golden wedding cake. THE GULICK WEDDING—FIFTY YEARS AGO. The following is taken from the Third Annual Report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society: "The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society held its Third Annual Meeting, May 19th, 1855, at the 'Old school House' at Kawaiahao. "After the opening exercises, O. H. Gulick, Esq., our second President, was united in marriage to Miss Ann K. Clark, our third Vice-President, by Rev. J. D. Strong, "The Third Annual Reports of the officers of the Society, together with the President's address, were then presented to the Society and an interested audience of our friends, who were present by special invitation. "An opportunity being offered, Rev. Messrs Thurston, Armstrong, Coan and Smith made appropriate and encouraging remarks. "This profitable interview of friends was closed by singing and prayer, and the remaining business of the annual meeting was laid over to an adjourned meeting, May 26th, to be held at the house of Mrs. Chamberlain." The cousins had not then commenced keeping an account of marriages, births and deaths as they do at present and what has been read is the only notice of the event. Miss M. A. Chamberlain who wrote her first Corresponding Secretary's report in 1857, has furnished us the following items of that happy wedding occasion in 1855: The "Old School House" which still stands in the shadow of Kawaiahao Church, where all the general meetings were held, was that evening of the wedding trimmed beautifully with maile wreaths and flowers and the bride in her sweet white muslin dress (without any veil) was as prett" a bride as graces any modern wedding. After the meeting was over the whole audience were invited to Rev. E. W. Clark's house, the home of the bride, to the reception, where the wedding cake was cut and congratulations were heartily extended from all. TempIranc ssues kditko by mmv. W. D. VtmSTKRVmUT. MEETING OF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. ANNUAL The annual meeting of the Honolulu Anti-Saloon League was held Monday evening, April 24, in order to have the stimulus of the presence of Hon. J. G. Woolley. Mr. Woolley heartily endorsed the position taken by the retiring president that it is high time to let party managers know that the Christian votes can be independent and will vote only for clean men. Mr. Woolley took the position that he must be faithful to his own trust. His hands must not be guilty of the blood of his fellow men. He said he intended to keep a clean conscience in politics—and could do that only by living up to his standard never to aid in the establishment of any saloon. The new officers elected by the League for the coming year are as follows: President—Rev. J. W. Wadman. First Vice-President—W. A. Bowen. Second Vice-President—Mrs. J. M. Whitney. Treasurer—Rev. W. D. Westervelt. Secretary—Rev. E. B. Turner. Chairmen of Standing Committees: Agitation—Theodore Richards. Law Enforcement—Hon. C. H. Dickey. * Legislation —Key. Doremus Scudder Legal Protection —Key. O. 11. Gulick. Finance— These officers are expected to meet the second Thursday of each month. They fill out their committees by the addition of as many individuals as may seem best. Then the officers and all the members of committees from the Executive Committee of the League, which transacts the business and pushes the work along whatever lines may seem feasible. Inasmuch as all the members of the Executive Committee have a large amount of other work beside that of opposition to the saloon, it is a cause of thanksgiving that the cause of temperance has received as large an impetus as it has in this Territory so far distant from the contagious atmosphere of the host of temperance influences predominant on the mainland. HON. JOHN G. WOOLLEY IN HONOLULU. Mr. Woolley "stopped over" about weeks between steamers which pass from Vancouver to Australia. He is to spend four or five months in giving his splendid abilities to the temperance campaign in New Zealand. The New Zeatwo landers are to exercise "local option" this fall, and the temperance workers are educating and influencing the great mass of the population concerning the res|M)iisihility of voters. The Hawaiian Islands need the stimulus of a "local option" law to compel agitation and discussion, and it was too bad to permit the local option bill to he killed in the lower house after passing the Senate and coming to third and last reading in the House. The personal influence of a few more temperance workers could have secured its passage and given to Hawaii a fight for instruction in morals like with that into which Mr. Woolley is now entering in New Zealand. Nevertheless, it does not pay to cry for spilt milk. Let the Brotherhood combine for the education of the people along the line of legislation during the coming two years and then a campaign for the abolition of saloons. Mr. Wool ley received a well deserved tribute from Dr. Ostrom the first evening of the revival meetings now being carried on in Honolulu. It was a testimony to the singleness of purpose in finding the only true position in regard to the government and saloons and then never swerving. Mr. Woolley made an address in Kawaiahao Church to a large congregation of Hawaiian!. This gathering was a union meeting of all the Hawaiian churches and was under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League. It was a strong educational address, exactly the line of thought needed by the new citizenship which the Hawaiian voters are now trying to exercise. Two pay lectures on Christian Citizenship were given by Mr. Woolley in the Y. M. C. A. hall. Dr. Kincaid, pastor of Central Union Church, welcomed Mr. Woolley to his pulpit for an inspiring Sabbath evening address along the line of gospel temperance. The annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League was helped by Mr. Woolley's wise suggestions concerning future work. A mass meeting in the ()pera House yvas arranged by the Anti-Saloon League for the purpose of giving the citizens of Honolulu an opportunity to hear this quiet, logical speaker. Mr. Woolley is eloquent by reason of the truth which he utters. He 's forceful because he presents that "ruth with the emphasis, not of noise, but of conviction. This mass meeting was attended by many of the members of the Territorial Legislature. Another meeting was held in Hilo while Mr. Woolley was on his way to visit the volcano. ()n several other occasions of minor importance he gave talks or short addresses. In all his utterances the controling �13 THE FRIEND thought was the duty of Christian citizens to place the manhood and womanhood of the nation above all other considerations. This is the practical truth to which he has committed himself. His supreme life work now is to help other citizens act on the same truth. WAILUKU SOCIAL SETTLEMENT. On the first evening of April "A Mock County Fair" was held at the "Alexander House." So far as possible the amusements and eatables were comparable yvith those found at the county fair of the old New England towns. The fair proved quite an attraction and a good number were present. The proceeds are already being used for paint for the "Alexander House," and will cover about half the expense of that work. Some unsold fancy articles yverc displayed in Lahaitta and the residents purchased them most yvillingly. Miss Holden offered her hospitality fur the afternoon and the profits yvere shared yvith her kindergarten. The girls of the scyving classes at the Settlement are much pleased yvith their small returns from the sale of articles made by them. The mothers of the kindergarten children have been solicited for small sums of money to be used for materials. They complied with such surprising willingness that, by the end of the term, there yyill be nearly money enough to cover the cost of materials for next year. One of the most regular attendants of the girls' classes—Helen Wallace, who was drowned at Waihee on the seventh of April, is much missed both from the "Alexander House" and the Sunday School of Ihe native church. It is a comfort to know that her faithfulness, helpfulness, and loving spirit had been commended only a few days before her death. Will our friends not ask that our heavenly Father may touch the hearts of her associates in such a way that their lives may become worth the living? F. A. 1~. MUSIC FESTIVAL. The interest in music is growing,— has grown since the last Music Festi- val. This second Festival showed this. The programme so far as chorus work was concerned may not have been more ambitious, but the singing was better and the selections yvcre more interesting. May sth saw a fine chorus composed of students from Kamehameha, Oalui College, High School, Normal School and Mills' Institute, all under the leadership of Mr. Stanley Livingston of Kamehameha. The orchestral accompaniment, furnished by Prof- Merger, was a new feature, and the addition of a noted soloist greatly increased the interest in the event. Mrs. Ida Gray Scott has an unusually strong and sweet voice. She certainly has been trained by noted teachers, and the press notices she has from a number of excellent papers in our large cities, were fully borne out. A small body of trained instrumentalists united for the purpose of sup plying an orchestral accompaniment to Mrs. Scott in such numbers as the Cavatina from the Queen of Sheba, Gounod; or Figlio Del Sol, I.'African, by Weber. Mrs. Scott sang also in the open air event, called the Children's Carnival and Contest of Song. This took place at the Hoys' Field as heretofore, and the ridiculously low admission fee of 10 cents made it possible for a crowd to come in. (hairs and benches yvere rented on the grounds. Mrs. Tucker surprised the comparatively few who heard this most interesting programme, yvith the lino chorus yvork of the children. We •ire sure thai the Honolulu people are proud of the way in which the children of the public schools sing. "DOTH JOB SERVE GOD FOR NAUGHT." sorry for "The By-stander" of the Advertiser who does not seem to be glad,— who, in fact appears to have been plagiarizing from the distinguished author referred to in the foregoing. This "by-standing" is perilous business. A man named Saul once tried it to his everlasting regret. There were "coats off" to be sure on that occasion, but only for throwing of stones, and a gootl man was hurt to his death. This Saul took off his coat to more purpose later. There is honest effort enough needed. We wish nothing worse concerning you, By-stander, than that you might come out from among the stone throwers, coat keepers, bv-standers,—take off your coat and lend a hand. T. R.

Nevertheless, we believe that another good year is ahead, T. R. flicts it has ever known. Not the least remarkable characteristic of the battle has been the confusion which has prevailed in the minds of many as to the issues involved. Time for clear thought is now granted, and there can be little doubt that the battle will prove fuller of good lessons than any fought on this soil in many a long day. It is well to recall the steps in the development of the present situation. After the Legislature had enacted the County Law a widespread doubt as to its constitutionality began to prevail. Within six days of the passage of the County Acts the Executive Committee of the Civic Federation met and voted to bring a test case before the Supreme Court so as to obviate the needless expenditure of money for election expenses in case the law should not' stand. Meantime, throughout the community the conviction grew that the decision would be against the law. Here occurred the first mistake made by citizens who had the good of the community at heart. Even the Governor, as late as June I, declared: "I do not think that it (the County Act) is constitutional." This feeling gave rise to a carelessness which paid little attention to the nomination of Mr. A. M. Brown for sheriff on the Republican ticket, or to the undisguised opposition of the nominating convention to the head of the party in this Territory, Governor Carter. The convention met on May 20. On June 2 the Supreme Court rendered a unanimous decision, affirming the constitutionality of the new law, and Honolulu suddenly awakened to the awkward and anamolous situation with which the nominating convention had faced the Republican party. The first and natural conviction of everyone was that it was simply preposterous to maintain at the head of the Republican county ticket one who was notoriously opposed to the chief of the party, and who had openly declared that his candidacy meant public rebuke to the Governor who had removed him. Meantime the Civic Federation was called together on June 7 to No. 7 take the usual non-partisan action of like organizations throughout the United States, viz., that of serving as a bureau of information to all citizens as to the various candidates for their suffrage. In due from those candidates were endorsed, regardless of party, whose records were believed to justify honest endorsement, as worthy of the suffrages of good citizens. Some names were passed for lack of information sufficient to enable the Federation to form a judgment. Others failed of endorsement, including both candidates for sheriff. On June 10, the Federation endorsed the independent candidacy of William Henry for sheriff and J. J. Fern for supervisor. TAPhet olls The ten days intervening before election were full of excitement. At one time it looked as though the Fusion candidate, Mr. Poepoe, for sheriff, would withdraw and leave the field to Messrs. Brown and Henry. This would have meant the election of the latter. This was adroitly prevented by the Republican candidate's plea to voters to cast their ballots for the Fusion nominee if they could not support himself. This advice encouraged native electors to think that their man might win after all, and stopped the Hawaiian stampede to Henry. When it became evident that Mr. Poepoe was thus becoming a formidable factor, the argument that a vote for Henry might mean the election of a Hawaiian rather than a white man was successfully sprung upon the weak-kneed class, to whom so-called home rule in this Territory is the chief of bugaboos. The Democratic leader, who had all along sensed the oppositions's rare opportunity of deepening the split in the Republican party by discrediting the Governor through the election of Rrown, threw all his influence into the scale and passed the word to stalwarts of his own party to cast their ballots for the regular Republican nominee for sheriff. Add to this the mountebank trick of the diligent circulation on election day of the canard that Henry had withdrawn in favor of Poepoe, and every fluctuating vote possible was nailed for the Republican candidate. The election, which was quiet and orderly, resulted in �THE FRIEND 4 flu- choice of I'.rown for sheriff by a good plurality, together with the defeat of (Juinn for supervisor ;fnd Booth for treasurer, both of whom had failed of endorsement and had been strenuously opposed by the Civic Federation.

The Civic Federation The outcome for this aggressive organization has been a formidable accession of strength. Having no axe of its own to grind and only the good of the community to forward, it fought its battle fairly and upon the high ground of civic righteousness. It has demonstrated thai even in Honolulu the appeal to the conscience has tremendous weight. It lias in one campaign proved that it can wield the balance of power. 1 lereafter all parties in local elections will vie for its en dorsement. There can be little question that tile election of Mr. Brpwn will make for its wider and more permanent influence. Much success at the outset is not the liest fortune for an institution of this nature. There promises to he a lot of splendid work for it to do as the watchdog of the public interests in the new regime of County Government. Meantime, the new sheriff, if gifted with wisdom enough to make use of the Federation, will find it a tower of Strength. It has opposed him frankly on his past official record, not at all as a man. Indeed to some of its Hi'-st active members he is personally unknown. The Federation stands ready to co-operate with the new County Sheriff to make his administration the distinguished success which it trusts it will become, What Of The Future? It must not be overlooked, however that the new sheriff takes up his duties seriously handicapped by Irs supnort. It is reported that he has given private assurances that his administration will be free from the features which drew upon him the condemnation of the Governor Thus he stands committed to a clean conduct of his office. Can he deliver the goods? A study of the ballots as they were read aloud in a tvnical procinc f showed tli.it a considerable proportion of straight Democratic votes were cast for Mr. Brown, with very few for Mr Henry, while hut a few Otherwise st'a g't voting Republicans sunootted the latter A number who voted tin- Advertiser ticket in HI de'aib east their ballots for Mr. Brown. A rather mixed constituency stands behind him. One of : the best informed political leaders in the city, a Kamaaina of very* long standing (not a Federation supporter), is authority for the statement that in his extended experience the last election was the first time be had seen all the vicions elements united behind one candidate. No section of the population is more determined to exact payment for its support or knows better how to enforce its claims than the class thus alluded to. It will take the determination of a ClevelandRoosevelt to stand firm against the pressure brought to bear upon the new sheriff by these elements in our population. Phis to this the entanglements of Irs pre vious term of office and the array is for midahle. Can he meet the issue? These questions are not asked captiously or with a view to discouragement. They merely make clear the situation and their purpose is threefold—first, to arouse the ■logged spirit of "I will" in the County Sheriff: second, to call to his aid in the light the active sympathy of all good citizens, and third, to assure him that one organization, the Civic Federation, will stand behind him in every good thing he does. If this statement be put to the test, it will not be the first time that a seeming foe has turned out friend in disguise. The Party Whip The casting of 860 votes for Mr Henry out of 5,034. the total for sheriff in the recent election, is a solemn handwriting on the wall to party managers. It may he possible to coerce a majority of Republicans in Honohth', as used to be the case in staid old Philadelphia, to hiss the shibboleth "straight ticket." hut there are already 17 per cent, of those voting at the recent election for whom the party whip has become a poor lashless castaway. Fortunately the tendency of such indenendence-loving contingents js growth. Even the trustful Philadelnia worm has turned and the redemption of that party-cursed metropolis has dawrcd amid the plaudits of the entire American Union, as voiced by Governor Folk in his historic telegram. A party is a tool, never an overlord : it is a horse. "ever tin- rider. As long as it is useful to him the good citizen will ernoloy it. Everywhere in the political realm the dominance of party over conscience .is a for children as "straight tickets," "the party, right or wrong," and begin to urge the plea of civic righteousness guaranteed by the character of candidates for puhuc office. The Republican Committees "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." ()n June 26, by the narrow vote of 5 to 3, the Territorial Re publican Committee endorsed the administration of Governor Carter. ()n the lame day the County Republican Com- mittee denounced him and proceeded to read out of the party a number of those who had been prominent in the movement directed against unworthy candidates. This line of action on the part of {he managers of the county machine and (>f the minority of the territorial committee is the best of good fortune for the future of honest government in Hawaii. The real animus of the Brown movement is slowly being made evident to the infatuated throng that flocked to the polls to save the party. The only way to save a man or a party is to get rid of the evil within either and not to crown it king. Honolulans will realize this sooner or later. Meantime the elements now in the saddle in the county and anxious to grasp the reins throughout the Territory are likely to have their day. Let them raven their prey, turn all the independent voters out of the party, and make tin- work of their own overthrow surer. Meantime it is going to be no easy task to purify a party so far out of the grasp of its best elements. Tantalus Trees The announcement that the grove on (Tantalus owned by the Coney family is to be cut down, has brought sorrow to pll the lovers of beauty in this commun- ity. The Tantalus park scheme has long Ik-mi a vision in the minds of Honolulans, and some time it is hoped that this forest may be included in the beautiful public destined to crown the slopes if the mountains that form the chief glory of our Territory's capital city. Cannot the Civic Federation move in this emergency and secure such action by the family owning the trees, as well as by publictoirited citizens, as shall preserve this pharming grove?

This large accession to our working force is made possible by the generosity of the mainland churches through the grant in aid of the American Missionary Association. As is told more fully on another page, Mr. Thwing was able to save almost half of the expense of going to China and return to recruit this re-enforcement by securing passports for the evangelists free of charge. Thus at a trifling added expense per individual, it has been possible to secure this new band of laborers as well as to establish close connections with the work in China. Mr. Thwing found that the influence of missionary effort in Hawaii for Chinese was deeply affecting the life of many homeland communities. His visit has dispelled the opposition of missionaries on the ground to the coming of well trained reliable workers to this field. The trip has paid in every way and has redemonstrated the fact that if our missionary, endeavor is to tell most widely for good it must be closely related to the great work that is being pushed on the Asian continent.

However, after five weeks of much visiting and consulting with native preachers, and many calls on officials, the work was successfully accomplished. Four good men and one woman Bible teacher were secured. It was rather hard to gain the consent of the missionaries in charge of these workers to have them go, but after the claims of �8 THE FRIEND the work in Hawaii were set forth, this also was gained. The relation of the work in the Islands to that in China is now more clearly understood, and there will be a better feeling and more co-operation in the future. PASSPORT. The next work was to secure passports for these men. The Chinese Government charge or "squeeze," is about $100.00 Mex. for each one. Five hundred dollars seemed too much to pay. So I went to the O. S. Consul General. He said he would do his part, but could not help me with the Chinese. I asked him for a letfter of introduction, so that I could go and see the viceroy about it, who issues the passports. But he said he could not do that, and it was very hard to see a high official. Well, I wanted to see him anyway, and said I would write my own letter. So I wrote, asking for an interview, and sent the following letter: Canton, April sth, 1905. To His Excellency Tseu, Viceroy of the Two Kwong. Your Excellency: I have the honor to request this interview with your Exceljlency, to confer in regard to the educational work in Hawaii. There are many of your Excellency's subjects in these islands, and some thousands of Chinese children. The Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, Chinese Department, of which I have the honor to be Superintendent, feels a deep love for your people. Indeed, "All within the four seas are brethren." "All under heaven are one family." Because thejf wish these Chinese youths to be well instructed in the "five virtues" and thf "five relations," and every good way, they have asked four of your Excellen>cy's subjects, whose names are herewith, to go to Hawaii to teach. I have the honor to ask your ExceU lency's favor to grant them passports, in accord with the treaty between China and America. lam your Excellency's Most obedient servant, EDWARD W. THWING, Supt. Chinese Work of the Hawaiian Board. Much to my surprise the Viceroy sent me back a very polite letter, in a large red envelope, saying that he would be waiting to see me on the following day at 10 a. m. Here was a fine chance. A VISIT TO THE VICEROY. The next day early, with the four Chinese preachers, we started out for the Viceroy's yamen. There were five chairs, each with three chair-bearers, making quite a procession. We were met by the Vicej-oy's secretary, and conducted into the waiting room. He wished to find out about the work in Hawaii and what was being done there. After a little consultation he said: "All right; we will go and see the Viceroy," and conducted me to the official reception room. Here the Viceroy met me at the door, and we made our Chinese l>ovvs and thep he put out his hand to shake hands, quite in Western style. He then asked me tp sit down at a table, where tea. cakes and fruit were set out. The Viceroy, who is the ruler of the many millions of Chinese be made out and registered at the American Consul General's office.

Their work would have made the National "Guard step lively to hold their honors. Immediately after the drill 400 boys assembled in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium to listen to the singing of Messrs.

One club greatly enjoyed a Punch and Judy show. We would advise just such occasional social gatherings. It forms a strong tie to bind the hoys and leaders together. THE FUTURE. As we look into the future we can see immense possibilities ahead. The only way to realize them is to work upon the capital we already have in hand. We must—and we can —prove to the people of these Islands that the Boys' Clubs are a decided factor in the welfare and the development of our Island boys. To do this certain needs must be met. NEEDS THE CLUBS, (i) Organization. Reformation must begin within. We need a more thorough organization within the clubs themselves. More ought to be expected from our few committees. A more careful enrollment and the marking of absentees would create prestige. Anything that would develop a greater esprit d'corps would be highly beneficial. A yell, colors, and perhaps a button, would help. A monthly sheet, well edited and widely circulated, would do much to interest and profit the boys. Our clubs are designed for but one purpose—to help boys. Therefore, the more we can enter into a boy's life, the more boys we can know and know well, the harder it will be to fill our niche when we step out. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Our Central Executive Committee can well stand for more organization. Strong to sub-committees, willing and anxious work, ought to stand at the head of each of our departments. Your Superintendent would be a member ex-officio of each of these committees. At any special stress he would feel that he had something tangible back of him. THE PUBLIC. Then this idea of organization—if this is the word—must extend to the general public. We must have a stronger backing by the citizens of Honolulu. To obtain this, we must first show them that we are filling a vacuum in the boy life of our streets. We have not yet reached that place where the city is talking about the good work being done by our clubs to help the boys of Honolulu. That we may reach this place we speak of our second need. (2) Money. What are we giving the boy for his moneys worth? Ah, you say, it does not cost the boy anything. It does. It costs him his time. With the boy as well as with the man—Time is money. We could have twenty-five instead of eleven strong Boys' Clubs in this city if we had the proper equipment with which to handle them. We have boys enough and to spare. But among other things boys' clubs, like a hundred other philanthropic enterprises, need more money. If our Government could better make both ends meet financially, we might receive some aid from them. The maintenance of the Boys' Field would certainly appeal to them. Last year the New York Legislature passed a bill to establish Boys' Clubs in New York City at public expense. The bill was vetoed by the mayor, not because he objected to the clubs, but that he thought they ought to be under the direction of the school authorities. Our schools and Government ought, and will, stand hand in hand with any work that helps the boys to a better life and a higher manhood. It is true that we are working largely with and for neglected boys, but "a boy's a boy for a' that," and they are equally expeditious to discern good bait from a bare hook. The one reason it has been more difficult to hold the Kawaiahao clubs than any others, is because they have no proper games room —no adequate equipment. A VISION It is one thing to shut your eyes and see what we ought to have, and quite another thing to realize that dream. visions and Just now we are seeing ought to be dreaming dreams. There two buildings in this city largely similar. One we would call the Young Men's Christian Association and one the Boys' Club. In each of them we would have a dormitory—several sleeping rooms for homeless boys and unmarried young men. This part of the Y. M. C. A. would be self-supporting. In each building we would have a neat and tasty lunch room, where sandwiches and light drinks could be served; a well- equipped and roomy gymnasium; a games room, with a billiard and pool table; a library and reading room; an employment bureau ; a swimming pool; a bowling allley; a tennis court, and rooms fitted up for night classes. It is a significant fact that St. Elizabeth's has about sixty Chinese young men every night in English classes. Now if we had the required financial help we could remodel the present Y. If, C. A. hall and in?ke it into a Boys' Club, and then buiid .1 new Y. M. C. A. hall that would incorporate the above mentioned features and that would be a pride and a blessing second to none in these needy Islands. That there are young men in our city in need of just such a Christian home environment is evidenced by the fact that one of our lodges—and there are many—has 300 young men members and is steadily increasing. But our third need is more vital and more difficult to realize than either the need of organization or for more money. It is the need of and (3) Men—consecrated men women too, who see in every boy —regardless of clothes and skin—a great heart, a noble-minded and public-spirited citizen. — Give us men! Men from every rank; Fresh and free and frank; Men of thought and reading, Men of light and leading, 'Hie Nation's welfare speeding; Men of faith and not of fiction, Men of lofty aim in action ; Give us men, I say again, Give us men! Give us men! Strong and stalwart ones; Men whom highest hope inspires, Men whom purest honor fires, Men who trample self beneath them, Men who make their country wreath them As her noble sons, Worthy of their sires! Men who never shame their mothers, Men who never fail their brothers; True, however false are others; Give us men, I say again, Give us men! —Bishop of Exeter. If we had such men as the Bishop of Exeter describes at our backs the noble work in which we are engaged would never lack for laborers. We must appeal to men's unselfishness. We want volunteer workers who will give at least one night a week to boy life. Every possible talent can be used in this work, whether �THE FRIEND. it be musical, recitative, athletic or that of golden silence. Every club needs the strong hand of a man to guide it, and the quiet, cheerful influence of a woman to mould it. The need is for men of conviction—men who will not only inculcate purity of life and honesty of purpose among the boys, but men who will leave the stamp of a deeper desire to know Him who is the Father of All. It will never do to watch too eagerly for results when working with boys. One never knows just where to find the boy. He is an entity distinct un*o Mmself. The Zoo has not yet corralled his duplicate. And yet there is not one of us but that knows that it is time and money well invested when given to the physical, men'al and the moral development of the boys who are to be our future voters. Let the boys be your fad. Talk boys! Believe boys! work for boys! • We regret that we have not been able to have better gathered the loose threads in the Boys' work; but as you know, we have been handicapped by having a too wide and scattered field of service. We can not bring this annual report to a close without a deep tribute of gnzitude to President Richards and Treasurer Castle for their untiring interest, cheerful co-operation and faithful devotion in saving the boys of Honolulu. • E. B. TURNER, Superintendent. CENTRAL UNION CHURCH. was the parade of the Bible school chil- dren of the city, when nearly two thousand boys and girls marched in line. Some of our mainland cities have an annual Bible school parade. The singing, the transparencies, the banners and the speaking make a strong outward witness to the power of the old gospel. The annual Kamehameha Day picnic on June 12th, brought together some 1200 boys and girls and grown-ups on the Punahou campus. The day was spent in playing games of every description, from baseball to running three-legged races. Fortunately there were no serious accidents. On Friday evening, June 23d, the teachers of the Bible school met with Miss Yarrow, at her home on Kinau street, for a social hour and for the discussion of topics vital to the welfare of the school. Mr. Merrill of Mills Institute presented the subject of the Normal class, and Mrs. Carlton introduced the topic of Vacation Plans in Bible School Work. One of the crying needs in Christian work in our city is the organization and maintenance of a strong Normal class that will prepare teachers for both the home and the Mission schools of the city. All our schools are continually needing teachers, and the excuse in many cases is, "We do not feel competent to take a class." It is to be desired that the good work begun in this line may be continued during the coming year. It is hoped that during the summer months the schools of the city may be kept up to a high degree of efficiency. Perhaps three-fourths of our scholars remain in the city during the hot weather, and since the devil does not take any appreciable vacation, during July and August our schools ought to be made more attractive than ever to hold the boys and girls. A number of our faithful teachers have gone away, some for the summer months and some permanently. Their places must be filled by others. Truly the fields are white unto the harvest. Are all the laborers at work? The Training Class for the Young has been discontinued for the summer. These meetings have been very helpful and some of the boys and girls are better able now to give a reason for the hope that is within them than they were before the class was formed. During the month of June sixty-five persons were received into the membership of the Church. A very impressive communion service was held Sunday evening, June 4, when twenty-three persons joined, composed of the graduating class of Kamehameha schools. Seven boys and sixteen girls. We are proud of the Kamehameha young people. The regular communion was held Sunday morning, June 18, when forty-two persons were received —five by letter and thirty-seven on confession of faith. We regret that Mrs. Mary Knight Hyde severs her connection with the Church. She requests a letter to the Church in Ware, Mass., where she intends to reside. Mrs. Hyde is a most efficient worker, and it was mainly by her untiring efforts that the Woman's Board of Missions has become so great a factor in our city. The Pastor intends remaining in the city during the summer, taking his va- WAILUKU SOCIAL SETTLEMENT. cation in October, as business calls him A few weeks ago a very enjoyable afaway at that time. Perhaps one of the most unique gath- ternoon was spent at the Workers' Home, erings in the recent Ostrom meetings connected with the Alexander House, the 11 occasion being an afternoon tea for the Chinese women. Twenty-one women and sixteen children were gladly welcomed. Last Monday evening (May 29) seventeen Chinese young men were also welcomed for social enjoyment. Meetings have been held at different Chinese homes for the women. Mr. Ah Ling and Mr. Chung Leong have kindly assisted. A warm welcome was given us, and an urgent request that we come again. The usual afternoon and evening class work at the Alexander House has been recently varied by several social events. On one evening about eighty children found ways of spending their nickels and dimes at a children's sale. Upon another occasion an audience of over a hundred listened to a programme arranged by the I lima Club, and were served light refreshments; our new coffee urn, the gift of Miss Mary Alexander, being used for the first time. The young girls' S. S. class of the native church was entertained at the Settlement Residence on the afternoon of May 15, and the men of the Japanese evening school the following week. It is with great pleasure that a class of the Koreans has been welcomed for evening English work. The results of the first six lessons indicate quick and eager pupils. Gifts have been received from the Holden, Massachusetts, C. E. Society, of which the Settlement worker is an exmember, and from Mrs. H. A. Gay, who was with us last year. Many families have received calls during the past weeks. A record of people coming to the more or less regularly Alexander Home, kept from May 22 to June 16, shows an enrollment of 189 different people, chiefly under eighteen years of age. The total attendance, excluding the social occasions above mentioned, is 669, the average for the afternoons being thirteen, that for evenings eighteen. Although the vacation proper began with that of the Government schools, by the choice of the worker, the Alexander House will be opened evenings for two additional weeks, and perhaps occasionally, during her absence from town, by the kindness of Mrs. Way, who has given assistance to the Settlement work while a temporary member of the family. The mothers of the Hawaiian children have been invited for afternoon tea June 21, and several Japanese women for the following evening, when our good-byes must be said to Mrs. Tanaka. The ladies of the settlement will be at home to all their friends the afternoon of Monday, June �THE FRIEND 12 26, that farewell may he said to Miss C. L.

They tried to help others and found, in turn, abundant help for themselves. In a certain evangelical church in Honolulu there are, in round numbers, one hundred members. At one meeting there were forty-five of the one hundred there, and at no time were there fewer than nineteen members present at any one meeting. With forty-five ]>er cent, of the entire church membership present at one evangelical meeting, and all of these enrolled in C. E, work, can we marvel at the deeper consecration of the young people, of the full, heart-to-heart prayer meetings, and of the swelling of the Endeavor ranks? In the other churches, too, the newspirit of consecration has been noticed. The prayer meetings have been larger and more fervent, and more young people have participated in them than heretofore. Many in the churches have taken a firm stand for the Master, and those already Christians have felt a fresh spirit Average daily attendance for the past nine and a half months in the Kindergarten was 46, some month's attendance being as high as 57, and an enrollment of 80 children. During the year five mothers' meetings were held, including closing exercises at Christmas and June. On the sixteenth day of June all the children sat down to tables spread in white to enjoy their cake and lemonade. It was a pretty sight. But as there will be some changes in the Kindergarten next year on account of promotions and the going away of a number of children, the (lay had its sad side as well. It has been the aim of the Kindergartener to visit every child's home at least once a month. Many months the visits have been more frccpient in special cases. 'The Kindergarten will open with the Government schools in September, when it is hoped that ill attendance and interest the school will grow, being a much greater success than during the past year. of consecration, a keener sense of God's presence and a new interest in saving LUCY AYRF.S, Director. souls. We offer thankful prayers for past blessings and earnest supplication for the future that many young people, who JotE IsC latindngs have openly united with the various churches may be helpers in our various Endeavor Societies, and may grow ever in their endeavor to be Christians.

And does this rule not hold true in a spiritual sense—that for every effort we make to help others we shall receive help in our own souls, and that every blessing we unselfishly ask God to bestow on a brother or sister, returns, like a spring, to its source and enriches our hearts and lives ?

Subsequent to the meeting of the Territorial Association the Oahu Association met and listened to the report of the committee, which reported facts both elicited by testimony and known to all through the public press, together with the refusal of Mr. Ezera to meet the committee before October, and his admission of his arrest and of his being under bonds.

Maui hurches C It is becoming very evident that the Hawaiian Churches on Maui are feeling deeply and very helpfully the faithful service of Rev. (). P. Emerson on that and the two adjacent islaiuls. A general toning up of discipline, the gradual extinction of warring elements, a strong trcnel towarels closer union, enthusiastic rallies anil the like testify to the importance of the work he is doing. In fact his year of service is a splendid demonstration of the wisdom of stationing men of devotion and spiritual earnestness in every strategic point in oreler to encourage, inspire and help the native pastors. Patience anil persistence will do everything in Hawaii if the inspiring motive be the triumph e>f the Kingdom of Cod and the directing force be the Holy Spirit. The Board is to be congratulated em having so experienced, cautious, kindly and wise a missionary as Mr. Emerson in this work for which he is so eminently fitted. Vacationing Rev. and Mrs. < >. H. Gulick will leave August 8 for a vacation of three months on the Mainland. They expect to be present at the meeting of the American Boarel in Seattle anil will have a good time generally visiting friends and relatives. It is five years since they have had a vacation and during this time they haveput an amazing amount of effort into the notable work achieveel by them in this Territory. With the exception of the Micronesian Mission it is doubtful whether any eif the Missionaries of the American Board enjoy vacatieins so Infrequently as those eif the missionary workers in connection with the- Hawaiian Board. In Japan. China, India anel other fields a change of air, scene and work during several weeks of each year is re- garded as a prune necessity for missionaries and in addition a furlough home is given every ten years—in some fields as often as once in seven or eight years. Pitiless laws of health and of economy have dictated these usages. The climate of Hawaii seems to make possible steady weirk at high pressure for live years or more with no annual rest and with but a short furlough on the Mainland. Just where the vacation line is most wisely to be drawn is as yet a matter of spevu lation. Meantime every friend of Mr. and Mrs. Gulick is rejoicing in the knowledge that they are really off for a happy season of rest iii the homeland. They deserve every possible- joy that will come their way. The world has fe-w couples of their years so hale and hearty, so abounding in energy, so e'onstanl in ig<iiul works, so efficient and wise-, se> unselfish and devoted as these two life-long missionaries, Everybody in the- Territory delights to honor the-.ii anel they may be sure that they carry the universal itlolni of these Islands with them wherever they go.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Rath is taking on all the features of a settlement, The Japanese night school there-iii is in full and successful swing. An organization called the Shin Yu Kwai (Society of Intimate Friendship) has been formed anil already has a goodly membership. Volunteer workers are being attracted. Indeed, white Christians are slowly beginning to learn that their Master has work for tlii-.'ii to elei and are- offering their services to Mr. and Mrs. Rath for helpful uplifting inIhie-nce in that section of the city.

But there is something much larger and to imagination far grander in the possibilities <>f the Taft party than either of the above indicated outcomes. That is nothing else than the introduction of Asia to America. Any student of Pacific problems knows that America needs little introduction to Asia. Japan has been studying us for decades with the most assiduous attention. She has come to cherish a deep admiration for our virtues, an admiration chastened by a very clear recognition eif our failures and defects. Many of the leading men of China know us intimately and her govI'lnineiit has about reached the point of determining to leave no stone unturned to ferret out the secret of American progress, achievement and character as thoroughly as Japan has done But America is wofully anel abominably ignorant of Asia. Those of us, who having been privileged to enter the sanctum of .Asiatic life have been moved to recognize like Moses of olel that we were em holy ground, are simply at sea in attempting to conceive how any agent of a civilized Power, however ignorant or personally boorish, can possibly treat Asiatic gentlemen, as employees of our Immigration Bureau have for years been abusing Chinese, whose position in the world, influence among men, family con■leetions and innate courtesy are unquestionably superior to those who subject them to indignity. The only possible solution is ignorance, dense, crass, plebeian, new-world ignorance and prejudice.

On the 14th of April the "Morning Star" anchored in Lee harbor, Kusale, on her return from the tour of the Marshall Islands. Two days later, a peculiarly beautiful Sabbath morning, the Captain sat feasting bis eyes on the loveliness of the view from his room, the deeply serrated mountains, richly green from summit to base with a wealth of vine draped trees, anel the wide border of the luxuriant mangrove swam]), with the white seabirds circling and wheeling overhead, in the distance the houses of the mission showing white against the background of the hills, and, for a setting to the whole, the curling breakers on the edge of the barrier reef, a quarter of a mile away. The picture was one of such restfulness anel peace, after our long sojourn among the low coral islands with their heat and monotony, that the Captain remarked more than once on the beauty of it all, anel we seemed to have- no desire' but to quietly lift our eyes "unto the' hills." Three clays more, anil what a change had come over our beloved Kusaic! We looked from our deck upon a desolate and dreary land, shorn of all its lovely verdure, its mountains seamed, and scaireel. and rent, its rivers sending out to the sea great masses of debris, its homes all wrecked and scattered, and over the unfamiliar, bare, broken mangrove swamp, the bewildered birds fluttering anel crying in distress. It was a picture from which we- turned away with quick tears as often as it met our eyes. This sudden and heart-breaking change had been wrought by a terrific cyclone which swept over the island on the 19th of April. At 3 a. in. the Captain noticed the increasing wind and consulted his barometer, but it was then normal. An hour later, however, it had begun to fall, and continued to drop rapidly. A second anchor was dropped and everything possible done to secure the vessel, but the wind had bcome so violent that the attempt to take in the large- awnings fore and aft was unsuccessful, the after awning being carried away to sea in shreds, the forward one much torn. 'I he wind sail and binnacle top soon followed the awning, and other movable articles, such as fire buckets. At breakfast time it was so difficult a matter to get from the Captain's room to the cabin aft that Dorothy, in rubber coat and so'wester was dispatched with a basket to procure supplies for the "besieged city." as we called our epiarters forward, anil came struggling back, hardly able to keep her feet or hold her basket. Meanwhile .our doOTSr windows and blinds hael been closed, and in the darkness the noise of the increasing fury of the elements was terrible. One can imagine a little of the force of the wind by the fact that, in spite of the closing of eleieirs and windows, which had been an effectual bar against wind and sea all the voyage, the driving sprayanil rain were hurled in such volumes anel with so great v'olcnce Upon the ship that the water poureel in over windows anil eloors anil soon drenched the rooms, running in rivers over the floors anel leaving pools in the corners where the excited Ruth found that her feet were "all under water" as she walked. The air was so filled with the spray that at times it was not possible to see the shore not far away; it was like a elriving blizzard, and the men on deck found that it stung cruelly. About 7:30 a. HI. the ship vas driven across the harbor, dragging her anchors, and remained lodged against the- rocks, scraping and bumping incessantly for more than two hours. In our dark room the children and I found it difficult to move about lie-cause eif the uncertainty of the motion, and I kept niv post for the most part leaning over the Captain's desk, where, with a lighted candle, I watched anil recorded the movements of the barometer, as the Captain was unable' to leave the deck. Its progress was re-porteel to him every ten minutes through a window on the lee' side, and as I watched it go down and down, my heart seemed to go down as fast. Before 10 a. in. the barometer was at a Standstill, and the little lull in the weather gave- us an opportunity to see the havoc which had been made on shore near us. The mission is some two and a half miles away, down the coast, and it was impossible to see- so far, but we could well surmise what thedestruction must be from what was visible nearer at hand. The- mangrove trees stood bare and broken, in many places entirely .shorn of branches, a wilderness Of mangled stumps: the mountain-sides were furrowed deeply here and there as with a mighty plough, huge' trees lying with their roots in tinair or tossed in tangled heaps, as one would throw out the weeds freim i garden; the beautiful cocoanut palms itood with heads twisted and drooping or cut off as though severe-el with a sharp knife; here and there even the crests of the hills had altered their shape, through the loss of boulders or characteristic trees, and there were many waterfalls to be seen. One coulil see far tij) into the little valleys anil all manner of unsuspected nooks, now pitifully bare; indeed, there seemed no secret of the poor island left unrevealetl. But wehad not long to le>e>k. The center of the Cyclone having passed, the wind came out from the opposite direction, the southwest, with a terrific shriek, and the ship was rapidly driven across the harbor to the other reef, where she again lodged against the rocks. By this time the noise of the warring elements was something defying description ; the expression "all bell let loose" came with great vividness to our minds. In the forward room the children and I were obliged to shout at one another to make ourselves heard. And as we now and then had a glimpse of the storm through one of the lee windows the sight was not reassuring. At times the broad reef seemed almost bared of water, as the wind BWOOped it up anel hurled it aloft, throwing it back in blinding sheets. We �7 THE FRIEND. watched with anxiety a group of higher mcks not far away, which thrust their threatening beads above the- waves, trying to See if we- were- drifting any nearer from moment to moment, but when at last the vessel moved again it was a relief to find that we were to be lodged on a sandy bed. Here we lay all night, and it was a curious experience to look eitit. in the soft moonlight which succeeded the gale, upon the line of little breakers which murmured alongside the ship, near enough for one to have jumped into them from the deck. During the progress of the- cyclone the- children were at first, quite naturally, greatly terrified. Bui I tried to reassure then: by the thought that this was God's ship, and that he woulel care for it, for the- friends on shore- would he in need of help which only the "Morning Star" could give. Then we remembered that we hael not yet had prayers in the hurry and anxiety of this new experience, and so the- children went into one of the inner rooms for a few moments and came back much comforted. Dorothy said to me. "Why. when we went into the other room, 1 was so frightened thai 1 could scarceh breathe, but now my fear is all gone!" We- found diversion for the little heads from the continual thought of danger by busying the hand with a futile attempt at keeping the- water out by mopping. Even little Elizabeth bail her small cloth and worked over the "low bureau'1 in the children's room, forgetting her fear in the thought that she It happened ( '■) thai was helping. Ruth was that week committing to memory the ninety-first Psalm, and at bedtime sin- spoke of it to me. repeating a verse he-e anel there which had been iii her mind during those- awful hours. To at least two Itttli girls that Psalm will always have a peculiar significance. The barometer had remained stationary some fifteen minutes, and then had gone up with the same regularity which had marked its fall. The duration of the Storm was about seven hours. But although so much sharter than the hurricane of fourteen years ago. which lasted three days, the work of destruc- the- sanely reef. We ha Ino help irom the- steam, for the engine was all down at the time, undergoing cleaning and repairs; but the next morning, with the help of keelge anchors and lines, the ship was pulled oil', and we were scion at our usual anchorage. The men bad noticed the Spot at Which the large brass bin- nacle top hael struck the water, anel went in search of it, fineling it with two sizable stones on to]) eif it, anel ill a somewhat battered condition, but with two lamps unbroken. It was repaireel and is now again on duty. The after affects of the storm were severe, aside from the loss of food supplies and homes. The rivers were much clogged by the decaying vegetation, and sent broad streams of inky water far out to sea. The stench, with the outflowing tides, was fearful. Thousands of dead fish floated by, actually beaten to death on the coral. Our white ship was turned into brown, the chemical action of the poisonous gasses in combination with the salt water in which we had been drenched within and without working the transformation, Ami incredible masses of debris floated sluggishly past us, assuming the appearance almost of a piece of the land moving out to sea. But very fortunately there was mi long drought, like that which followed the first storm, and maele all the conditions so very unbealthful; this time the heavy rains on several clays after the storm swept down from the mountains the ruined vegetation and carried it off in the rivers, so relieving not only the hills bul also the general atmosphere, But what of the mission? It had been impossible for us to make out the station clearly, even with a strong glass, neither could our friends on shore see the ship until late in the afternoon, when they discovered that we had not gone, as they feared, to the bottom, but could not toll whether or not we had escaped serious damage. Early the next morning a small canoe came up from the station, and while it was yet some distance away WC haileel the two boys with the Inquiry, "Are any killed at Mwot?" Anel with what relief we heard the answer come hack over the Then folwater, "No, all are alive!" lowed the question, "And the house*?" To which they replied, "The Cirls' School is all gone: Mr. Cbannon's house is half down: Dr. Pile's house is tumbling over! Of the native buildings, nothing is left." They tolel us of senne who were hurt, also, and as soon as possible the Captain went down to Mwot with them and learned the whole sad the tion was in the present case more complete. The houses were much weakened, from long use and the work of the borers which make such havoc with wood-work : anel also the large trees were more wreckeel than in the previous gale. ()ne eoulel well understand the meaning of the expression, "the besom of destruction," when looking at the wholesale devastation wrought by this tumult of seven hours. 1 have saiel that we lay all night on story. Early in the morning Dr. Rife hail change in his haro-11 e-U-i. At that time- the wind was blowing hard, anel the branches of trees about the house were beginning to crack, Remembering what he bail beartl of the former hurricane, which he had mil experienced, he- went to the other mission houses and warned the families that something unusual in the way of weather iniglu be expected. Mr. Channoii did all in his power to fortify his ild house (the same which Mr. Walkup built twenty-three years ago) and the children were dressed as warmly as possible in view of probable exposure. Mrs. Channon also gave them coffee for breakfast, much to the alarm of one of the little girls, who reminded her mother that she had often told them that children could not have coffee, as it would prevent their growth!

The dwelling house was partially destroyed, the main part being moved eight feet from its foundations, so that the coral posts which formed the underpinning projected up through the floors, breaking them up into "waves and bilThe lows," as some one remarked. hut that staneling, woodshed remained was partially protected by a spur of the hill which arose directly behind it: and it was this hill which saveel the part of the bouse which did not fall. All other buildings, school house, boys' houses, boat and canoe bouses—everything, in fact, went completely. Dr. Rife, early in the Storm, took refuge with his family in a small tool house close by. and his own bouse was left tipping at a elangeruis angle, so that, having secured his possession* and stored them in the tool house after the gale, it l>ecame necessary to pull down the main house for safety. �8 But the most exposed part e)f the whole mission property was the hill, lonrok, on which the Girls' School was located. This crest rises one Inindred anel twenty feet alx)ve the sea, a long spur leading down to Mr. Channon's school on one hand and another sour to Dr. Rife's place on the other hand. Deep anil abrupt valleys on both sides leave the hill at the mercy of all the winds. The great trees, many of them giants, which hael formed one of the chief l)eauties of lonrok, became a menace rather than u protection, as the wind snapped off huge branches like straws anel hurled them hither and thither; even the trees themselves were prostrated, in many cases. The cook house and woodshed, outside school house and new cottage put up for my use, all went first; the house was so violently racked anel slraineel that n seemed to those within like a ship at sea; it was difficult for them to keep their feet. Dr. Rife and Mr. Channon, being unable to go themselves, had sent some of their choicest boys, at the beginning of the storm, to the assistance of the ladies on the hill, anil these boys deserve especial mention for the noble way in which they lost sight of their own safety and gave themselves to the service of the (lirls' School. When, after the center of the cyclone hael passed .-••id the wind came howling from the opposite direction with redoubled fury, it became necessary to flee from the bouse at once, the' motion of the btlileling was so violent that many of the sixty-one girls could not get out without help. Miss Iloppin watched from outside the black opening of the doorway through which the girls were issuing, and wondered in a dumb agony if the end of the procession woulel never come. And even when the last one was out she would have entered the bouse to make sure that no one had been left, had the I ovs not forcibly restrained her and returned themselves. Scarcely were the last of the company as far distant as the length of the house when it fell, anil they say that such was the horrible uproar of sound which enveloped them that they heard no additional crash when the great house collapsed! They were stunned with the shock of battling elements, crashing trees, and all else with which they were surrounded. All ways of escape were blex-keel; manywere simply buried by the force of the winel and lay where they fell eir crawleel as best they could" to small hollows in the ground.

Mr. Channon had taken special pains with the- foundation, digging deep and filling it with rocks. The tower was to have been dedieateel em the day before Easter. It now stands as a pathetic monument to Mr. Chanuon's love for the people. The wholesome destruction of all food supplies must cause much neeel, for ii will be long before Nature can repair damages, and most of the large breadfruit and coacoanut trees are ruined. The limes, papaias, mangoes, alligator pears, etc., will be greatly missed.

The people must depend on rice anil fish, largely, but what and if their "money, be lly away?" We felt this to be a serious problem. The question of the disposition of the (iirls' School was a difficult one. As a result of the deliberations of the mission, the "Morning Star" sailed from Kusaie May ist, having on boarel the whole school anel their two teachers, with all the effects saved from the wreck, bound for Ponape, which we hoped hael remained untouched, as in the former Storm, and thus wheie we thought te) find a harbor for the homeless company. The Ponape School building was a large one anil the school small, so the plan seemed quite a possible one. But, touching at Pingelap and Mokil on the way, we found that they hael not escaped, our storm having reached them on the night of the 19th. Then we feareel for Ponape, anel as we steamed around that island on the next day and found our fears confirmed our hearts sank within us. I'onape had fared worse, if The German possible, than Kusaie. Colony was a mass of ruins; all native houses were destroyed; at the mission station, Mr. Gray's houses were all gone, the (iirls' School building hael been partly wrecked, then left standing, what was left of it, "on the- bias," as Miss Rainier put it. Misses l-'oss anel Rainier were camping out with their twelve girls under a rude shelter of iron roofing, along one siele of which the girls were packed at night like sarelines, anel in the center of which the two ladies slept on canvas cots. The shelter was not rain-proof, ami Miss Palmer told amusingly how Miss l-'oss went to rest every night with an umbrella spreael Over her, sleeping serenely as though it were quite the natural and proper thing to sleep that way. Miss Ross feels that she owes her life to One of the boys from Mr.'Gray's school, who established himself as her protector, dragging her, when she was unable to aid herself, from one place to another, to avoid evernew dangers from falling objects. The house had been standing only about two years, so the lumber was in good condition to use again, anil a good native carpenter was at work rebuilding the place, On a smaller scale, when we were there. Mr. Gray hail put up a large room with the lumber from his house as a temporary dwelling place, intending to enlargebis house a little later. The food question at Ponape will be a much more serious one with the natives than at Kusaie, for the population is large and the destruction of breadfruit anil cocoanut trees almost total. We hope that the German government will do something toward relieving the inevitable distress. Some fifteen Ponapcas were killed in the gale and about four hundred injured. With the friends at Ponape in such a plight there was nothing for us to do but to return to Kusaie with all our passengers. Miss Wilson had endured the trip fairly well, having had a swinging-heel rigged for her under the awning on the after-deck, with ready arms always at call to lift her. The little Marshall Ruth did not seem to have been harmed by the voyage, but the German doctor at Ponape, who was most kind, and came three times to visit the little patient and dress the wound, looked very grave over her and assured us in his broken English that there was only a chance for her recovery. At the time of our leaving Kusaie Miss Wilson was able to move alxnit carefully with a cane, but Ruth had lost ground. When at last the "Star" sailed from Kusaie for the Gilbert Islands and Honolulu, we left the Girls' School established at the Channons' place and Dr. Rife and his family occupying the tool house and kitchen, with plans to enlarge their quarters slightly by means of lumber from the wreck. These workers are awaiting the elecision of the American Board with regard to the future of the schools. In looking back upon this experience we are still vividly impressed with the mercies with which it was tempered. Hail it visited the islands in the night great loss of life must have resulted, es- pecially in the two girls' schools. Then, too, that the missionary vessel should have been at hand, ready to render the needed service, anil that she was saved from wreck or serious damage (only one sheet of copper was torn off, and a leaking rudder trunk, the result of thumping on the rocks, was neit BO serious as to prevent the voyage to Honolulu) was almost a miracle. As Miss Iloppin said, this experience had seemed to give the new "Morning Star" her rightful placein the line of succession with the vessels which had borne the name before her. There had been, of course, great interest in the new ship, and rejoicing that she should be a Steamer, and she had successfully performed her year's work; but now she stands confirmed as "Morning Star Xo. 5, a witness to the preserving care of God, and with her true place deep in the hearts of the missionaries anel our people in the islands.

More than half of Hawaii's population is Oriental. China, Korea and Japan have given their thousands to help in the development and prosperity of these Islands. The fust impression on arriving in Honolulu is that of a real up-todate American city, but as one travels �THE FRIEND 10 from plantation to plantation, or visits Chinatown or the Japanese stores, one may well call this an Oriental Hawaii. As during the past fifty years, the hard-working, industrious Chinese laborer has made possible the great wealth of these mid-Pacific islands, so the life and influence of .America has done much to change and improve the character of the Chinese. And not only is this influence telt by the Chinese who are here, but those having lived in Hawaii go back anel in many ways aiel in the changes that are now taking place in China. yOU NO MI'.N IN CHINA.

A number are acting as teachers, anil still others are acting as interpreters and business men. In Shanghai, not long ago, I met a young man from Honolulu who has the position of private secretary to Li Hung Chang's son. Another young Chinese, a graduate of Punahou College, met me with a hearty greeting on the streets of Canton. He is now a professor of English in a private school there. While talking to the president of one of the largest colleges in Shanghai, he said: "I like to have your Honolulu boys come here to study. They give a good spirit to our entire institution."

So you see they all find that the tire- carnage- is a geiod thing" The Chinese may be slow and deliberate but when he is fully convinced ola good thing he is ready to adopt it. And there is no better place tei convince bun than here in these Pacific islands. "( I.iru One of Hawaii's Royiln china. the college military drill, it was a pleasure tO see boys from Hawaii in the front ranks. Two of the young men from Honolulu are V-aelers in their glee club. There are some sixteen boys from the islands in this one college. Others are studying in the schools eif Canton. A young man from Mills Institute, whose picture is given, has recently left Hawaii to take a special Chinese course in the Rati Training School, Canton. This is a school that has given many of the workers now laboring among the Chinese of the islands. The Hawaiian Board may have here several scholarships with a special view to the Hawaiian work. eliHii Church One of the most beautiful churches of South China, has recently been built partly with money raised in Hawaii. This is the church at Lieu Chan of which a picture is given. Some $400 was sent from Honolulu. Letters are geiing out all the time with Gospel messages. I'he Christians returning from Hawaii cannot fail to have a large influence on those they meet in China. AGAINST SfI'KKSIITION. Hawaii's Chinese stand for preigrcss and enlightenment. Any one who has lived here in the light of the 20th century, who has been swiftly and safely carried about with comfort in the electric cars, cannot well believe in "fung shui" or wooelen idols. A man who has worked on a large plantation, and seen modem irrigation and great pumping engines, cannot take much stock in a paper image, put up in field under a shelter of ]>oles, as is shown in the picture, to keep away drought.

But they want more. They want, and have a right to insist on fair treatment, the same treatment accorded to the most favored nation. Is it just to allow Korean, Japanese, Porto Rican or Italian laborers to come into Hawaii, ami not the- Chinese? They are- quite willing that America should have exclusion laws, and regulate or limit foreign labor. But they insist, and justly so, that Unlaws should apply to all alike. A few small changes will not satisfy them. ( Inly just and fair treatment can now arrest the- anti-American feeling that is fast spreading in every trade center of China. Those who have not been in China recently can hardly realize the size- of the boycott, the strength of the Chinese feeling, the money that is being put into it. Nearly every Chinaman in Hawaii will contribute to the movement to secure fair treatment for China! It is the- one subject discussed, not only he-re- iii Honolulu, and on every plantation, but in every port in China. America can have- no idea of the tremendous antagonism she has been stirring up slowly but surely eluring the past twenty years. She does not know the- strength of the trade guilds and Chinese tongs, and she seems to have no realization <>f the. stupendous possibilities and opportunities she- is just throwing away. Hawaii should be- foremost in helping to bring about justice and fair treatme-nt, and not only for China's sake, but for her own future life anil prosperity. Is Hawaii to be a gre-at trade center of tlu- Pacific, a future Hongkong or Shanghai of .America? That depends upon whether America secures a large part of China's trade.or not. If we lose China, we lose the Pacific. rill. TRADE Of THE PACIFIC. Hawaii's greatest possibility of influencing China will come through a future great Oriental trade on the waters of the Pacific ocean. The millions that are to make the future of the world, live in countries bordering the Hawaii should extend great Pacific America's hand of welcome, and not exclusion, to our Oriental neighbors.

It comes strongly into the writer's mind to tell of how and why he believes in Cod and the Bible, in the Lord Jesus Christ and the certain triumph of His Kingdom on the Earth, in the Heaven e)f the Redeemed and its Immortal Life. In these living facts he does believe with all his mind and soul, and has always believed. He counts this faith an inestimable blessing and privilege. Now nearing the end of life, he feels moved to tell a little about why he so believes. We live in a wonderful world, crowded with tokens of order, wisdom, beauty, power and beneficence —such as most impressively betoken the presence and care of an infinitely wise and gracious Creator and Sustainer. One's reason gladly accepts and quietly rests in the full assurance of the pervading presence of the God and Father who made and who sustains this complex world—nay, the almost infinite complexity of the universe of worlds which we nightly behold, extending into the fathomless distances of space. Any conception of such a Universe existing apart from the Inhabiting, Pervading and Sustaining Soul Divine, seems utterly irrational and impossible. Such a Being must be a Father to his rational creatures. He must inevitably be Impelled to Reveal himself to them, in such ways as may lift them towards himself. Accordingly we find in the Bible an extended Record of such Revelations going e>n through long ages, appropriate, merciful, wise, guiding anil holy. The Divine Being therein disclosed, our hearts rise to worship and adore. Especially are the teachings of this Bible Revelation unspeakably attractive and divinely glorious in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, who lived in such meekness and devoted service, yet in such exalted authority and luavenliness of teaching, who died a Sacrifice for our Sins, and who rose gloriously triumphant over death, summoning us to follow him into Heaven. This wonderful Redeemer's work has gone on and grown as a mighty Seed of Life among the tares and thorns of the corrupt and evil ways of mankind. It has powerfully maele its way, anel grown in the midst eif human wickedness, cruelty and impurity. It has tx)rne most beneficent fruits of Light, Liberty and Social Well-being, advancing in increasing ratio as the centuries continue. Por it is only where Christ is best known and most freely taught that this beneficent progress advances. He is the one guiding Light of the World amid its sail darkness. To follow Him is the sole reliable He>]>e of Mankind in order to win peace and well-being out of their bitter struggles. His coming Reign in the World, His victory over selfishness anel corruption in men's hearts, is the one glorious Hope of Suffering Mankind. This Christ our Lord has risen to reign in a higher and larger Realm than earth, but has not severed His connection with his People on earth. He calls us to join him in that Home above, which he is ever making ready for us, where He assures us of endless Life and Blessedness. But He also continues in manifolel ways, to make His Presence and Power sensible on earth, for the assurance and comfort of his people here while they work and wait. The Divine Revelations of the old tune are not at an end. The Holy Spirit of God, who rested in revealing and inspiring power upon prophets and a]x>stles in past ages, still visits His servants and inspires them to speak of the "things of Christ." Nay, the Lord Jesus himself still at times personally visits and manifests his presence to favoreel disciples, in order that they may more confidently believe in Him. Jesus is the living Lord and King in his Church and Kingdom. Our faith in him is not vague, nor a vain imagination. It is a living reality. S. E. B. THE SHEEP-KILLERS. ByStanlW ey aterloo.

CHILDREN'S When this society had reached its jubilee in 1902. there was much talk about it, and a change was proposed in its organization, to make it more a commemorative society, and to turn our endeavors for raising money for our mission schools into the channels of the Hawaiian Board, many of the Cousins being already the largest contributors to the Boarel. At the same time at a very large and enthusiastic meeting of this society, the question arose of giving up "The Friend." A most warm discussion followed, and the then Corresponding Secretary of the society warmly pleaded that "The Friend" be continued, and be an organ of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, as well as of the Hawaiian Boarel. flu- happy verdict on the "Friend" was maele in the humorous remark of T. Richards, "Well, the 'Friend' has fallen among friends tonight surely." A plan was maele to have a Hawaiian Mission Children's Society page and this you know has been maintained until very lately, when severe illness has prevented one of the members of the committee for preparing the page, from doing her share of the work.

CHAMBERLAIN. IN MEMORIAM. Carol ink Form Akmstroni; Bi-xka itii. The circle of children of the Protestislands is rapidly being thinneel. But few now remain of those who were beirn here in the thirties. ()ne by one the friends and companions of our childhood are being bidden to come up higher. Early in the morning of the 18th of last month, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. J. I lair, the beloved wife e>f the Rev. E. C Beckwith, whom We knew tn her girlhood as Caroline Porter Armstrong, went to the rest which she bad long prayed for. For her it was a blessed release from weariness and suffering, and her clearest friends would not call her back even if they could. She was lx>rn in Honolulu, July 17, Her father was the Rev. Richard 1832. Armstrong, who filleel SO important a part as a missionary, statesman and educates in the "making of Hawaii." With her parents, the Alexagders, and the Barkers, she sailed for the Marquesas Islands, July 2, 1833, where they spent eight terrible mouths among the cannibals, finally relinquishing that field at the instance of the Londoi: Missionary Society, and returning to Tahor in Hawaii. Her home life during the next six years on Maui, and afterwards in Honolulu, has been well described in the memoir of her brother, the late Gen, S. C. Armstrong, founder of the Hampton Institute. I ler father's journal records as his first deep personal grief the parting with his daughter Caroline, who was sent at the tender age of ten years, around Cape Horn to the Eastern States for the education which it was then impossible to obtain in these Islands. While there she lived with her uncle, the late Judge Chapman, of Springfield, Mass. In 1851 she graduated from Mt. Holvoke Seminary, which was then the foremost institution in America for the higher education of women. But her ardent devotion to study probably undermineel her constitution, which was naturally delicate. She returned to the Islands with her mother in the latter part of the following year, by way of the isthmus of Pairama. arriving in Honolulu, February 11, 1853. As the Panama railroad was not built till two years later the hardships of the journey and the exposure to the pestilential climate of the isthmus brought on afterwards an attack of fever, from the effects of which she never recovered. On the 17th of April, 1853, she was married to the Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who ant Missionaries to these 13 had come to Honolulu in 1851, to take charge of the Royal School. Eor the next half century her life to an unusual degree was blended with that of her husl>anel, whose tender and untiring devotion to his invalid wife, was ever to him a sweet privilege rather than a duty. Eor both of them this long trial was made a means of rich spiritual blessing. No sufferer ever made a braver struggle with infirmity than she. There was always "sunshine in her soul," and she had cheerful words and winning ways for all around her. "She wrote many letters full of sympathy, condolence and encouragement." Her sweet patience and her Christian faith and hope exerted a far greater influence for good on others than she herself was at all aware of. "They also serve who only stand and wait." She shared all her husband's long anel varied experience, first when he was in charge of the Royal School, then as President of Oahu College till 18511, then for twelve years as a pastor in Sacramento and San Francisco, then for ten years a ]>astor in Waterbury, Conn., from 1871 till 1881, then in San Erancisco again, until Nov. 20, 1887, when he was installed as pastor of the newly organized Central Union Church in Honolulu, which position he resigned January, 10, 1894, to accept the pastorate of the Makawao Church. In all these places she has left tender anel sacred memories. Their golden wedding was celebrated two years ago. The immediate cause of her death was a recurrence of paralysis, which first affected her throat, anel then slowly spread until it reached her vital organs. "She was conscious until within a few hours of the end, which came peacefully in the early morning, just after her 73d birthday." Her only grandson, Holmes Beckwith, was one of those at her bedside when she breathed her last. The funeral services, which were held in the afternoon of the same day, were conducted by the Rev. B. Y. Bazata. The familiar hymns, "Asleep in Jesus" and "This is not my place of rest," were sung, and what of her was mortal was laid to rest under the overshadowing trees of the Makawao cemetery. Three of her brothers, viz., Reuben, Richard Baxter, and Samuel Chapman, and one sister, Mrs. Clara Banning, who died June 14, 1004, have gone before her. Her surviving brothers and sisters are William N. Armstrong, Mrs. Ellen A. Weaver, Miss Mary J. Armstrong and Miss Amelia Armstrong. She has also left one daughter, living, Mrs. J. J.

It does not seem to he the poor stick who has failed at home who wishes to have a try at the youth of this favored clime, but on the contrary successful, earnest, resourceful men and women with good positions in hand and records of which they well may he proud look hithcrward with longing eyes. It is a little hard to tell why this is. Climate, missionary history, tales of matrimonial possibilities, the glamor of the far away, the poetry which envelopes the very name Hawaii, all have their advocates among those who discuss the question. In olden days it was not hard to secure missionary candidates of the ablest stamp as the history of the Islands amply proves. The Hawaiian Board last year had only to make known on the mainland by one feeble voice her hope of being able to man the Territory with a fresh hand of devoted Christian leaders, in order to find more volunteers among men and women of the highest education and ability than it could hope to have funds enough to engage for many a year. This Mid-Pacific l'aradise certainly exerts a strong fascination upon minds that are swayed by ideal considerations. Is this a part of the strange Providential history whose development was so graphically sketched by Dr. Bishop in the remarkable series of articles published by him in the Friend a year ago? Kamehameha's New Forces Rres. 1 lonic has come near breaking the local record for strenuousness during the past few weeks. Leaving Honolulu on the Alameda July i<> with five teachers to engage, he pushed across sea and land, making one or two brief stops until Roston was reached. There he stayed but 3 short days, rounded up his little company, then speeded back, and arrived at home August 21 on the Sil>eria, having covered an average of 350 miles j>er day for all the 33 of his entire trip. He brings to the faculty of the schools Mr. W. D. Barlow, graduate of Amherst Agricultural College, as assistant in Agriculture, Miss Elizabeth Yoch for English, and Mr. Edwin Hall, Harvard '04, of this city, will be Assistant Registrar. Miss Pope having a year's leave of absence, Miss Lemnion will preside at the Girls' School in which Miss Carrie E, Church has come to take a permanent position. Miss Knight and Miss Robinson are back again in their former places. Applications for admission exceed vacancies and a royal good year is anticipated. President Home's administration is proving a notable success. �THE FRIEND 4 Makiki Church Again This band of Japanese Christians knows no leisure. When other churches following the universal American custom, rest on their oars, these < Oriental disciples take as their motto their Lord's words "My Father worked hitherto, and 1 work." Not content with organizing in mid-summer open air meetings in front of the various so-called Japanese "camps" in Moiliili and Makiki, where men and women are rounded up and led to the church, they have instituted a thorough canvass of the entire district. Two years ago a similar census showed a lapanesc population of 561 in the section of town east of Alapai and north of King streets including Moiliili and Ma noa. Although the Makiki churchmemhers have worked their field with a care unapproached by perhaps any other organization in the city, they were not quite prepared for the revelation of increase which each new day of the present investigation is making. In Aprd 1903 there were 35 Japanese scattered along the entire length of Kinau street. Today there are K7 men and 47 women or a total of 134. Already incomplete returns from the entire district are totaling kxxi and by the time the census is completed there will he something like 15(H) to record as against the 561 of April. [903. The Appeal for Aid A letter was recently sent to about one hundred friends asking special contributions for a new meeting house for the Makiki Japanese Church. Responses are slowly coming in. At the time the letter was prepared no one had any idea that in the district covered by this aggressive organization anything like 1500 Japanese were resident. It is clearly evident that this church has a great future before it. Xow is the time to aid. It is gratifying to note the responses which are coining in to the Hoard Rooms for this movement Already enough has been received to insure the purchase of land. Will not every reader of this paragraph send to Mr. Richards, Treasurer of the Hoard a special donation marked "For the Makiki Japanese Church?" We must have about .s6.(kio to put up the building required. Where to Get Servants right arm of the Makiki Church n organization which bears the name \i Yu Kwai. an association of young ) handed together for practical Chris- i'he service. There is also another Ai Kwai for women in this Church. ' men's organization has opened an doyment agency which in the terms the announcement card is "ready to, assist you in securing reliable Japanese men and women for house work." The telephone address of this agency is White 3361. Letters addressed Ai Yu Kwai I*. (). Box 894 will also reach their desti- nation. This is a very much needed form of social service in Honolulu. The Ai Yn Kwai is determined to sift out the unworthy, irresponsible and unreliable and to commend only those who are likely to give satisfaction. Of course no such guarantee can be given. The aim is to do the best possible. It will pay our subscribers to hear this society in mind. Meanwhile why not give a helping hand to a Church that plans such practical service (and that too without cost to anyone) by sending to the Treasurer of the Hoard a generous gift to provide for it a suitable building? Schools Again The announcement of the Kamehameha Trustees that the total number of pupils must be CUt from 301 to 2~0 emphasizes the need of a new institution to which not only Hawaiian hoys and girls may go but also those of the other races. It has long been the hope of the Hawaiian Hoard to bring about the consolidation of Kawaiahao Seminary, Mills Institute and the Japanese Hoarding School into one strong institution in which the ideals of education as outlined long ago by the missionary fathers should have their modern fulfilment Americans should never forget that Hawaii gave Hampton Institute to the world not only by the gift of General Armstrong but also by having impressed that splendid knighterrant with the value of industrial training. What this Territory most needs tolay is a school whose basic principle shall be to turn out Christian men and women fitted to live here and develop the possibilities of these Islands. We have an immense raw material of Japanese, Chi- mehameha cannot train. The one great demand of the immediate present is generously to equip a splendid institute to rive not only a general academic training but also a most thorough industrial education, fitting boys and girls to go out and make homes for themselves, to develop the country, to enter the various trades and every where to carry the spirit of Jesus Christ. Who will he the first to give largely to realise this noble ideal in the planting of a Christian Mid-Pacific Institute near I lonolulu? Mother Rice The tidings that Mother Rice of Kauai had been stricken with illness caused a wave of sorrow to (low over the Christian community of this Territory. For so many years both Mother Castle and Mother Rice have been identified with every movement looking towards better things for the people of Hawaii that they have come to be a part of the higher life of the island community. Their hearts have taken in the whole world and their benefactions have gone forth to the ends of the earth. Anything that threatens their continuance with us brings a chill >f pain to us all. So when the news came that Mother Rice was seriously ill the community felt it as a personal sorrow, and fervent prayers went up for her recovery. It is good to know that she has rallied, that her faculties are as keen as ever and her interests as dee]) Mayin every Christian enterprise. illustrate the be to spared she long beauty and glory of sainted living.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. lust as we go to press the tidings come that Japan and Russia have agreed upon terms of peace. 'There is something wonderfully pathetic in the way in which the attention of the world has been centered upon Portsmouth, in this mute expression of the longing of the heart of mankind for peace and in the manifestation of the universal demand not only that this war should end, but also that hereafter all war must be made impossible. Unstinted praise crowns the efforts of our noble President to bring the commissioners to an amicable agreement, and we Americans are prouder than ever of the beneficent influence <>f our Chief Magisrate. While this is true and cannot he overestimated, there is one side of this Eastern question which must not he overlooked. For lovers of Japan cannot hep being solicitous for that Empire as long as Russia remains what she is. It should never be forgotten that the Czar docs not seem to know the meaning of a binding promise. Japan is lighting for the integrity of Eastern Asia, for the right of die Mongolian man to develop his Codgiven individuality. Her foe—the Russian Government, not the Russian people—cares nothing for this ideal. St. Petersburg has not changed its nature as a result of the past year and a half's experience. It has never swerved from its original purpose to dominate Asia, and there is no evidence that it has passed through a conversion following the Woody baptism of war. 'The only argument to which the Czar will yield is force. The logic of this situation is the logic of the stalwart Roman, Cato. "Cathago delenda est.". In this case the words should read, "Russia must be expelled from Eastern Asia." It is this conviction which moves a few of the anient friends of the American President to wish that his peace negotiations might have been postponed until after Japan had seized Yladivostock, overthrown Linevitcli and driven the Czar out of Manchuria. It is not clear to those who do not look beneath the surface that the initiative taken by President Roosevelt practically amounted to coercion. Japan is in no condition to resist a request put forth with the stren- this Court, especially in view of the tremendous compelling ]X>wer which such a request at this time must carry? Britain's immediate criticism of this suggestion shows what a blow at Japan's real interests this appeared to the friends of the Rising Sun Empire over there. These considerations are well worth noting here in Hawaii, where the bearing <>f the Eastern question is seen at close However, peace is in itself so range. great a gain that optimists cannot but hope that although Japan seems to have been kept from the full enjoyment of the fruits of her victory, the movement for emancipation in Russia will go on to completion. If liberty should dawn in the hearts of that mighty people, there will be no later war for conquest in Kastern Asia. Japan will be allowed full opportunity to lead China into the larger life awaiting that giant nation. After all, the Far East needs only a decade of peace to render war there with a European power forever out of the e|uestion. In the light of such an issue the zeal for peace of President Roosevelt may take its place in human memory as one of the nobler manifestations of the Spirit of (iod in the hearts of His human children. to of the American Chief Magistrate. She must have the good will of our nation in her struggle. It undoubtedly was because of this feeling that her peace demands were so generously lenient. It is rumored in some of the press notices that President Roosevelt strongly expressed his disapproval of the stand taken by Japan's commissioners in not consenting to an armistice at the outset. Later cable dispatches speak of his taking an active part in the negotiations, especially when Japan seemed disinclined to yield. Some partisans of Japan question whether zeal for peace has not led our Government to play a part slightly suggestive of the action of France and THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

Ancestor worship and all its related phenomena take their rightful place# in the make up of this longing to be laid to rest alongside one's own kith and kin. But this love of the old hearth and glebe is something vastly different from patriotism, which springs from an altogether larger consciousness. Whether China in its past ever exhibited this passion or not is beside the question. That it does not characterize the people of that vast conglomerate today and does not form a part of his heritage is not to be doubted. Rut that he is incapable of it the phenomena of the last few years belie most effectively. And as was the case with Germany, so now with the Eastern Asiatic foreign aggression was needed to stimulate the germination of this mighty force. Eor decades China has been the butt of the Powers. The generation now living cannot remember when Europe was not bullying her. Finally in the Roxer outbreak the world began to feel the faint motions of the coming offspring. I lere in Hawaii the evidences of the slowgrowth of the giant-to-be have been steadily increasing year by year. The reform movement which has been quite noisy here at times, the essays of school boys and school girls breathing a new spirit of love for China, the careers and addresses of Wu Ting Fan and other representatives of the Court at Peking and now the enthusiastic boycott of American goods, all tell the same story that the idea of the Nation is being born. It is a great experience and for the people which passes through it the noblest possible movement it can know until the day when Nation after Nation shall enter the still larger realm of the World-consciousness. We hear now and then a mutter of anger against the boycott. Let America beware. Leave a lioness alone that is licking her new born cub. China may flame into passion at any moment. Better far for her and the world if she be suffered quietly to enter upon the full blessedness of self-consciousness. Better far if America should stand with Japan in tender ministration and play the Socratic role of midwife in the mighty process. Thank God the hour for the partition of this Great Nation has passed; and our own beloved land, whatever may be her subsequent mistakes in the treatment of China and notwithstanding her blindness in excluding and misjudging the people, whom of all others she most needs in helping her to build up her own future out of fragments of worn out Europe, will find the China of ioo years hence, THE FRIEND. that great glorious China which some of us in our visions see, turning in grateful love to the Republic of the West because of the signal service which obviated a partition, that might have delayed and rendered far more bloody to all the Powers but never could have prevented her birth into the consciousness of the Nation. manent life work here.

The Friend takes great pleasure in presenting to all its readers the above portrait of the latest addition to the missionary force of the Hawaiian Board. Mr. Dodge, who is the son of Rev. John Edwards and Emma Backus Dodge, was born in West boro, Massachusetts. Pursuing his studies in the public schools and then in Worcester Classical High School be entered Amherst College and was graduated in 1901 with the degree of B. A. He next entered Hartfort Theological Seminary, where with intervals for the study of German at Heidelburg and for special work at Marburg University he took his second degree of B. D. last Spring. At one time in his student course ill health sent him out upon a farm. Here he acquired an unusual fondness for farm-garden pursuits, which will stand him in good stead in his work in this Territory, where questions of the development of the agricultural possibilities of our Island group arc so insistent. For so young a man Mr. Dodge has enjoyed no little opportunity for He brings with him an preaching. enthusiasm for missionary enterprises and expects to do his per- Honolulu has been favored by a lecture delivered on the 28th ult. before the Research Club, by the eminent Dr. W. H. Pickering of Harvard, upon the phenomena of the moon. The speaker has for many years made a special study of those phenomena with the aid of photography. His visit to Hawaii has been made with especial view to comparison of the volcanic craters peculiar to these islands with those of the moon. The results obtained as stated in his lecture, are such as to justify particular notice in TifE Friend, The lecturer omitted all discussion of the complicated mathematical elements involved in the astronomy of the moon. He stated that a most complete and exhaustive description of the moon's surface and condition was issued by two as- tronomers about seventy years ago, such as to act as a discouragement to all further study until within a very recent period. It was regarded as a settled fact that our satellite was an absolutely dead planet, devoid of all life and activity of any sort. Atmosphere and water were believed to be entirely absent; and the former volcanic energy, attested by numberless craters, had entirely disappeared. �THE FRIEND Recent study, however, has contradicted those conclusions. An atmosphere does exist, although extremely tenuous. A recent verification of this fact has been secured in a photograph of an occupation of the planet Jupiter, in which clearly appears on the face of that planet the characteristic bar produced by the refraction of the moon's atmosphere as the planet encounters the moon's limb. This seems to be a novel piece of evidence, hitherto unpublished ; but the presence of atmosphere is attested in other ways. The presence of at least the vapor of water is shown by deposits of what seems to be frost or snow in various localities. These diminish or entirely disappear as the advancing sunlight reaches them with its heat. Even after two hours of the Earth's shadow the space occupied by the white frost has been observed to be sensibly increased. The snow patches are often extremely brilliant, especially in hollows or crevices usually protected from sunshine. 'The existence of a rapidly growing vegetation is indicated by a quick development under the sunlight of a dark growth in various localities. The color of this appears to be gray rather than green, as it seems to be in the Martian "oases." Such vegetable life must be comparatively feeble, adapted to an extreme tenuity and dryness of the air. Yet it is incomparably remote from the absence of Life. The moon is no dead planet. Continued volcanic activity is proved by the comparison of several areas formerly mapped with minute care, with their present condition, showing extenOther sive alterations of the surface. changes are shown by recent photographs taken successively, proving eruptions of ashes and other matter to have been distributed. One stream of lava is plainly distinguished. As to resemblances of Lunar craters to those of Hawaii. Our large craters here, unlike most of those of other countries, are craters of engulfment, while Vesuvius, Etna and most of our globe's volcanoes are craters of explosion, built up by violent explosive ejections. Those of the moon are characteristically the same as these of Hawaii. The bottom, as it were, drops out of a large area in whose depths the eruptive action appears. Such are Haleakala on Maui, and Mokuaweoweo and Kilauea on Hawaii. And of like sort are most of the craters seen on the moon. The lecturer omitted to present any hypothesis as to the conditions producing such differences in volcanic activity, or why Hawaii should pattern after the moon. We have only the fact. Dr Pickering described the important theory established by Prof. George Darwin through calculations based on tidal action, and secular retardation in the speed of the earth's rotation, proving that the moon anciently formed a part of our globe, and was disrupted from it by its contracting bulk and its consequent increasing speed of rotation. After separation, the moon's action on the earth's tides acted a a brake to retard the'earth's rotation, while a converse action of the earth upon the moon gradually increased its distance and retarded the speed of its revolution in its orbit. The lecturer spoke of the connected theory that the exceptional breadth of this Pacific ocean indicates that the moon's substance was torn out of this side of our globe, leaving this ocean as the great scar of that loss. Hence, he playfully intimated, Hawaii, being central in the Pacific, may have a special connection with our satellite. To the present reporter, however, that Pacific theory appears wholly unfounded. The moon's separation must have occurred at a period long antecedent to any solidification of our globe's surface, while Earth was still "formless and void," and the "waters" or fluids "below" and those "above the firmament" were still unseparated. No assorting of materials could 'hen have taken place. The moon bore iway with itself an unassorted mass of fluids common to both. S. E. B. CHINESE EDUCATIONAL WORK By Rev. E. W. Thwing. Education embraces the two ideas of teaching and learning, for the word learn comes from a word meaning to teach; so that learning originally meant teaching one's self. Education then, is not an end but a means, and should prepare and train one to teach himself. Chinese education is insufficient, only training part of the mind, and not leading the student to think and investigate for himself. The memory, and powers of imitation are well developed, the student ever following well-established models; and this persistent copying of what has been done before, may have much to do with the great conservatism of the race. The Chinese boy at school has long hours of study, often from daylight to dark, but his work is chiefly to memorize the sayings of ancient sages. 7 THE OLD SCHOOL SYSTEM For many hundreds, and even thousands, of years China has had her institutions of learning all over the empire but her course of study has been most limited, and only a few subjects are considered. The Chinese system ; does not really educate, for it does not teach reason or individuality of thought. It does not teach a man how to teach himself. There is no learning to think about it. It is largely simple memorizing. Agassiz' three rules for study: "i, observe; 2, observe; 3, observe." would strike consternation to the Chinese pedagogue. To the Chinese it is memorize, imitate, copy. They are ever calling the attention of the student to what has been done in their illustriuos past. In the Book of Rites we read "For purposes of education the ancients, in their villages, had schools, in their districts had academies, in their departments had colleges, and in their principalities they had their universities." The commen tator tells us, however, that all these institutions of learning did not exist at one time, but flourished under different dynasties. As to the narrow sphere of these institutions, however, the philosopher Mencius said; "The academies, colleges, "universities and public schools established to promote education, were all designed to elucidate the five relative duties," i.e., yan, i, lai, chi, sun, or affection, justice, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness, as between father and son, prince and minister, husband and wife, seniors and juniors, and friends. That is, the many institutions of learning were, according to the sage, Mencius, all to studysimply the relative duties. If the student could write a correct essay on these subjects he was considered a scholar, whether he ever put them to practice or not. A Chinese professor in a college in Shanghai has well said: "The Chinese system is a fearful waste of energy and a death blow to mental vigor; and it is this system which has made a fossil of the nation." : HEW SCHOOLS. The old system is now fast passing New schools, new methods, western learning and careful study are taking the place of the old way. All throughout the length and breadth of that old empire of China is found a awakening. educational tremendous Educational work is becoming more prominent in all missionary effort. Young China is fast pushing to the front. away. �THE FRIEND 8 This school gives the small boys a good start, and is well named "PuiKei," which means "Strengthening the Foundation." From the very first it teaches the boys to think and act for themselves. These are the boys that will help China to be great. LITTLE SZ MKNO-I'ir. V Young Scholar ot China. Miss Butler goes on to tell how well one little fellow, Sz Meng'-piu conducted himself at the examination day: "Examination day had come, and each boy was anxious to do his best. Friends and patrons of the school were invited to attend. At half-past ten in the morning a goodly number being present, the examination of the different classes began and continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, with a ! short intermission in the middle of the day. The boys acquitted themselves well. As we were about to close, the teacher whispered in my ear that one boy had something to say. Permission little Sz Meng-piu step!| being given, ped on to the platform, and in a few well chosen words, expressed the thanks of the scholars first, to the In every large city in China, bright young boys from these new schools are to be met with. Often they arc dressed in a regular school uniform. During a recent visit in Canton, after several years' absence, the greatest change was noticed in the school work. pui-kei teachers, who had given patient care and instruction faithful to them throughout the year; and, thirdly, to those present, who by attending the examinations, had shown their interest in the school." HOOD WORKERS. The boys of this school are also taught to give and work for others. Five cents is quite a large gift for a small Chinese boy. It is equal to about too cash, or about the same to him as ioo pennies to an American boy. However, they were ready with their offerings at the time when their church needed repairs. Mah Took Shau made the presentation speech on behalf of his schoolmates. Speaking in a clear voice to Mr. Che, the elder of the church, he said: "Mr. Che lu-teng: We, the boys of the Pui-kei School, hearing that this house in which we worship every Sabbath is being enlarged and knowing that a great deal of money will be required to complete it, wish to do our part. To this end we have been saving our cash for weeks. The duck is now full, and this morning, with glad offering hearts, we present this small all His for Him thanking to the Lord, mercies, Amen." SCHOOL. One of the most interesting of the schools visited was the Pui-Kei school for smaller boys, in charge of Miss E. M. Butler of the True Light Seminary. These bright little lads begin their studies with reading, writing and arithmetic. They also have a good course of Bible study. Miss Butler says: "The school has already proved its usefulness as a means of bringing the children to Christ. Out of the original ten boys, nine have become Christians, and three or four have been added to the list of such as shall be saved, each year. After leaving this school several avenues of learning are open for their entrance. The High School comes first; after that the Fa Ti Theological Seminary, the Medical College, and the Christian College. Those who have entered the Fa Ti High School have ranked among the first in scholarship and deportment. One, now Dr. Mok, stood first in his class. Afterwards he took a four years' course in medicine, graduated with honor and received a prize for the highest scholarship." Little Jsz Meng-piu. Man Foo'k-shau presents the duck to Elder Che In-teng.

As the Elder received the duck and held it up, necks were craned to see it, and an audible smile went over the congregation when the Elder said, "This cluck is very fat and heavy; it has been well fed," and then he explained to those present how it had been fed. The boys had picked up tennis balls and sold pictures cut from periodicals, and instead of buying sweets with the money thus earned they had deposited it all in the duck, "And now today," he continued, "here is the duck full. It will hold no more. We must kill it and see what it is worth." He, followed by the boys, went to a side room where, with their little heads bending over a table and as close to the Elder as they could stand, they saw the duck's head knocked off and the money counted, which was found to amount to $3.53. That may seem a very small sum to any but the little boys in the Pui-kei School; but to them it semed great riches. And who shall say that to our Lord it did not seem as precious as the widow's mite." (It is of interest to note that Mr. Che Itt-teng is one of the new Chinese workers expected in Hawaii by the end of the year.) EDUCATION FOR GIRLS This is but one of the many schools of Canton that are making bright boys of a different type from the old Style. The little girls too are being taught as well as the boys. ()ne teacher in Canton says: "For many years past the little girls have been gathered into the True Light Seminary and into day-schools, and the work among them has been delightful. Many quite young girls have given their hearts to the Saviour. They are small stars, but they shed a beautiful light in their heathen homes, the light of Christianity; and with their true soul-winning fervor have labored for the conversion of parents, brothers and sisters. One little girl eight years old went home for the summer vacation and astonished her family by reading the Scriptures to them and praying with them every day." Education for boys and girls alike is what China needs. It is the educational work that has brought Japan to her position today; so it is only by true education that China can become strong. Here in Hawaii and America, many young Chinese boys are securing that training which will fit them to be leaders of men. The promise of the future is the widely opening door, to Sam's horses and mules in the Philipbetter educational opportunities for pines. the young people of China.

'The ditch, when completed will cost $500,000. The majority of the stock is owned by the Hind and Campbell-Parker estates. 'The Kohala plantations showed a great lack of foresight in allow ing this ditch to be owned by any others than themselves. They alone are to be benefited by it and they are in no portion to pay a high rate for water to outside parties. The ownership of this ditch by the plantations themselves would have done much to have built one central mill, where the cane of the whole district could have been ground,—a combination that should have been effected years ago.

Editor "Friend:" When Miss Helen Hillebrand, dele gate from Hawaii to the American Library Associatiein at Portland, ()regon. reported the Honolulu Library; she recalled the Long Ago, extending back into the last century as far as 1859! Kamehameha IV was Monarch of the Happy Isles. At his Royal Court David L. Gregg upheld the honor and dignity of Uncle Sam; and gracious Mrs. Gregg, in "showing around" the newly arrived Yankee Teachers—wife and self—drove far up Nuuanu Valley to the residence of Rev. Artemus Bishop. As we approached the well-remembered hedge of sey.

Memory gave only a hurried tlasli light of that pleasant call, forty-six years ago. before we were deeply interested in the status of Honolulu's 1905 Library, as given by the self-poised, clear-voiced Librarian, a granddaughter—so Time Speeds!—of that self-sacrificing Mis sionary family. No time—till later—to realize that the Hawaiian Throne is nice matter of His tqry —that, as do all other of our Country's organizations, governmental, business and social, the American Library Association includes the "Cross Roads (jf the Pacific" as na. tu ally as any state of the Original Thirteen! Miss Hillebrand's lucid report was greeted with hearty applause by tlr large assemblage of delegates; but, niosl likely, aroused in none, except myself and wi.'c. such a rich, romantic, reminiscent vein. The recording of it has pleased me—perhaps ■ few Kamaainas may appreciate cur momentary'lapse into the Long Ago! J. A. BREWSTER. MR. BURKE AND HIS RADIOBES. Mr. John P.tiller Burke, an eminent Irish scientist, now of Cambridge University, has lately created a strong sensation by developing in steti.ized beefbroth, microscopic particles which simulate microbe-germs. I le calls these "radiobes," because they are generated by the influence of Rad.um emanations. They seem to possess some elements of vitality, although they have failed to be reproductive. Very naturally it is suggested that the first origins of life may thus be accounted for. since more or less emanations of Radium doubtless existed in the earliest geological ages. The Agnostic is always eager to find ground for accounting for the Origin of Life on the globe, without reverting to the intervention of a Creator as the Theist does, and Mr. Burkes discovery is bailed with great interest as helping to dispense with God We would in begetting Primeval Life however, point out that while Radium may have been very active in the early ages, there cotthl kavt been no beef-tea there, nor any other organic solution, until after Life had begun 6p exist. Hence Mr. Burkes experiments throw no light upOn the Origin of Life. You have got to have at least some existing product of life to start with. 'The case is probably analogous to that of Electrical emanations caufting tl' dead limbs of frogs to simulate living activity. There is no real life in the dead frog galvanized.

So the undecomposed product of life in beef-tea responds to the penetrative force of the electric ions from radium, in generating a semblance of living forms, yet lifeless. We have another notable example analogous to this. Chemists extract from coad-tar a j;reat variety of products, including dyes, which are often pr< duced from living vegetables, such as indigo. Rut no amount of chemical skill can combine those products, except from organic substances, once living. Coal tar, being an embalmed product of inultitudious forms of vegetable life. yields itself readily to the skill of the chemist for such purposes. Ineirganie matter cannot be so used. Mr. Burkes experiments still leave undisturbed the old maxim "No life Man's attain without previous life." in Science, though very great, are stdl most imperfect.

This is due largely to the fact, that in the former the students are brought into intimate touch with the minds and hea.ts of their instructors, and receive strong individual impulses from them, while in the bitter they are rarely in close contact with any of the often highly accomplished scholars and scientists, who work far out of reach of the youthful and growing minds. The best work of the educator is rarely in active operation. Another very adverse influence prevailing in the wealthy ami crowded university is the congregation there of the sons of rich men. and the expensive style and standard of living which prevail Tuie culture follows "plain living and high thinking." which do not flourish in the rich and pampered university. < hit ward show and not elevation of mental or moral character is favored by the luxurious aggregation.

It is getting to be a comparatively easy thing to figure out in N.

'Take this new liquor law, for example: the cheapness of the license and the com parativc ease in getting it have just flooded the territory with saloons. There was a safeguard in the law which amounted to local option, to the effect that a majority of property owners in a precinct could protest against the issuance of the license, and that license must be refused. But the protest isn't amounting to much so far; and chiefly because there is no one who cares enough about it to work up the protests. In at least three instances abortive attempts have been made but with no thoroughness. The names �THE FRIEND 12 were found not sufficient in number or properly qualified. In one case the same names were on the protest and the indorsement <>f the applicant. Some one genuinely in terestcd would have prevented such a fiasco. And now we are getting to the point we need some one to represent us who will give all his time- to the matter. We are organized for it. Do yon plantation people want to conserve the efficiency of your labor? Any practical man will admit that it is : inimical to the plantation interests to have the saloon come right into the plantation and near the camps. Now your one corporation protest, although you may represent thousands of acres, won't save you you must have the cooperation of little "kuleana" holders, nay, two or three fellows with leases las was the case in Kahuku) will beat you. You may avoid the logic of the answer if you want —and keep the saloons —but by throwing your influence and your financial backing with the ; — only organization unalterably opposed saloon here, there' can be done some great things. 'The Anti-Saloon League is looking for just the right man to put his whole time and energy into this work, and it will need every ounce of backing and every dollar it can get. to the Once we ventured the opinion in these columns that Sunday baseball was "mucker" baseball. What other than "mucker" results are those of the recent scandal? Betting and selling the game are not necessarily connected in most minds, yet they are but con secutive steps. Admitted that a betting man is a gambler (no great distortion of terms), and one can find lit tic fault with the conclusion that a gambler will sell any sport. If that seems "overdoing" it to you, take this as a canon of sportsmanship:—You must keep money out. 'That, at least for all amateur gentlemen's sports. Aye, if the contest is to be fair, money must be kept out, and an American crowd won't stand for any sport that is not fair. Now comes the connection with Sunday. We- may as well con fess that we do not know why the use of the day in such a way brings deterioration all along the line. To a Christian it is enough to say. God has spoken on the subject in the grand old book, and human experience goes to corroborate His word. Let that suffice. That it will not suffice to the non Christian is plain enough. Apropos of the above is the recent incident in Syracuse, N. V., recorded in the "( lutlook" of Aug. 5, in which Andrew I). White commends the' Roman Catholic Bishop in his remarkable announcement that he will deny Christian burial tv tluise "who die by accident on the Lord's day, having culp ably violated its duties and obliga tions." Without committing itself to the approval of the remedy proposed, the' "Outlook" expresses Its sympathy with the spirit and purpose of the' bishop's effort to combat the paganizing of American life, and quotes Dr. White as follows : Although I was brought up under Puritan ideals as regards Sunday, and they bad considerable effect upon nie'. they have been so far modified by observation and reflection that 1 am quite willing that the afternoon of Sunday, after the earlier religious services are over, shall be given to reasonable' rest and recreation, beyond indeed, what I formerly thought wise. Rut the extremes to which our communities have gone at length in appointing every sort of game and amusement through the morning hours, and of making Sunday ivsorts less and less decent, are such as to create just alarm among all thinking citizens." 'The Honolulu social clearing house' has its "catch-all." 'The rule is, "when in doubt as to know what to do with a perplexing question, chuck it at the Civic Federation." What wonder if such an over-stuffed receptacle should get clogged. 'To make up a Civic Federation that works, you have to take the parts from several other machines. In the change back and forth from machine to naamachine, these parts get rather worn. Speaking more, plainly, in judging of the net product of the Civic Federation, —its "output," it must be remembered that every man in it is supposed to be doing a man's work elsewhere. It is no idle compliment to be' "catch-all." Happy were the Federation if it prove not to be- a waste basket. T. R. CRADLE SONG. By Sarojini Naidu.

A gratifying response has followed, the land for the church has been purchased, and if other liberal hearted well wishers of this good enterprise collie' into the inove'llle'llt the' building will soon be' erected: "In the' section of I lonolulu east ol Alapai and north if King street a large number of Japanese of both sexes are employed as house servants in the' numerous well-to-do homes that crowd that part of the city. As a rule these Japanese earn good wage's and being reliable as well as above' the ordinary immigrant from their country in intelligence, they are less migratory in i heir habits. A large' proportion of them are married and plan to remain long in Hawaii. In fact, they are' perhaps the most stable' class of Japanese in the 'Territory. A little over two years ago Mr. T. Okumura, one of the' most influential and devoted Japanese Christian leaders in these Islands, re' alizing the importance of doing something for his countrymen in this part of Honolulu, opened work in a tiny shack on Kinati street about midway between Keeaumoku and Piikoi streets. 'There was at first great op position manifested by the Japanese in that nieghborhood, and not a little petty persecution was visited upon the band of earnest men under Mr. Okuinura's lead. Rut there was no faltering. After about one' year of work, the' shack was outgrown and the premises numbered 1302 Kinau street were rented. In May, I»X>4. •'» church of -'4 members was organized, each one pledging himself to try and bring one of his countrymen to Christ during the next year. At the first anniversary of the Makiki Japanese Church in 1905, no less than 51 were enrolled. The �THE FRIEND pledge had been more ihan made good. "'This company of Christians is very aggressive. 'They hold preaching services in the' various so-called Japanese camps throughout Makiki and over in Moiliili. They are determined to win all their countrymen in that seclion of town to Christ if possible. They are thoroughly up-to-date in method. Knowing that tlu- Japanese servants need recreation after hours. they have provided a reading and recreation room open every evening. Conscious of the value of mass move iiHiit, they have organized a "Love b'l iendsbip Society." which binds the young men and young women each in a separate company for mutual assistance' in the Christian life' and which maintains a valuable' employment agency. 'They aim to turn out men and women of approved character and industry. Already a number of householders in Makiki have learned to respect and honor the good work being done. In order to equip themselves better a line' night school for English teaching is maintained. "The premises on Kinau stre-ei have become too small. On Sundays the audiences overflow the- building, and two Sunday school classes are compelled to se-e'k shedlcr e'lscvvhcrc, one on the' lawn, the' other in the parlor of a neai by Japanese resident. When it rains the lawn class must go home. The Hawaiian Board feels that this enterprise is one of the' most promising and fruitful in all its wide work. "Being crowded out of doors for lack of acoemmodations in the present lo cation, a pew home for this church is imperative. At a recent meet ing the Hoard approved of the plan to raise' money to purchase a suitable lot and erect thereon a meeting house adapted to the' character of the work. 'The plan is to build an attractive church of which the' neighborhood will be proud. As the Hoard has no funds for this enterprise, this letter is sent you to present the facts in the case and to ask yon for a special subscription towards the purchase of the property selected by the Hoard and the erection thereon of a church building. From $7,(xx> to $8,000 will be required. Of this the jfapanese will contribute a share out '>f all proportion to their relative means. Will you not help in this emergency?

" - l THE LAST ACT BUT ONE IN THE AMERICAN - BOARD - ROCKEFELLER AGITATION. Committee of the American Board has sent to each of its Corporate members a letter containing its declaration of principles governing ihe acceptance of contributions made to its treasury. For months the controversy has be'e'ii fought out with great acumen in the press of the nation. Little by little public opinion has crystalized on one side' or the other, and the committee feels that the time has come for testing the care-fully formed convictions of its corporate membership. The letter, besides carry ing the' Statement of principles, dwells upon the gravity of the situation raised by the controversy, and requests the corporate members to express their opinions upon the vexed question in order that the communications may assist the Board in forming Units decision i" annual meeting. doubtedly the' character of the replies will determine very largely the action to be taken at Seattle. After the decision is registered there, it is likely The' Prudential that the matter will slowly fade' from public memory. It seems as though there could be' but one way out of the difficulty and that is the one suggested in the statement of principles which is subjoined. While- strongly impressed with the side of the question so ably championed by Dr. Gladden, and at one time feeling that Christian duty seemed to point in that direction, a more careful and painstaking consideration of the issm-s and principles involved, have led to the conviction that the Prudential Committee is right. It may be that the Hoard will take action directing its officers not to seek gifts from individuals who are under fire because of anti-social ways of making money.

It makes public the details of an enterprise' which the Hawaiian Hoard has been carefully considering for the past six months. Indeed the vision of such an organization has ll Kited in the minds of the members of the' Board for years. At last the dream seems on the point of realization. No pains have been spared to plan the foundations broad and deep. A geographical name has been Chosen for the united schools which will carry its meaning everywhere; It is purposely colorless so that its developing history may stamp upon it a character all its own. Tts location is unrivaled. We believe the establishment of the Mid-Pacific Institute to be one of the signal achievements of Christian strategy in the winning of the weirld to the Kingdom of God, The Hoard appeals confidently to those who control large resources to eepiip the new insti- No. 10 tutiiin with a generous cnelowment. The' splendid estate upem which it is to stand bespeaks the solidity of its financial foundation. Already it has 230 students, one hundred Koreans are ready to enter as soiui as room can he provided. The Board proposes to make use of the buildings of the former Portuguese school em Miller street for a Korean department in connection with Mills Institute. It is hoped that the new grounds may he laid out by an expert landscape gardener and that in the fall of 1906, buildings sufficient to accommodate 250 hoys anel 150 girls may he opened to receive the young people wh.i at present make up the personnel of Kawaiahao Seminary, Mdls Institute and the Japanese Christian Boarding School together with those who long to enter them but cannot feir lack of accommodation.

The object is to educate the upgrowing generation of all races to take an intelligent part in the' development of the Territory, to train Christian leaders for Hawaii and highest of all to senel an ever enlarging stream of missionaries to Asia to help win that Continent to Christ. EInvcidreeanscsgU of nity The sael eleath of Archbishop Placide Louis Chapellc of yellow fever as a result of his devotion lo duty has called forth a beautiful and touching response from the heart of the' entire nation. The Literary Digest, published by a firm whose head is an uncompromising Methexlist, and the ( hithxik, whose eeliteir-in-chief is one of the' leading Ceingregational clergymen of America, both grace their front cover with his portrait, while the elenominational Protestant press generally pay their tributes to this deveiteel Christian and patriot. It is one of the happy signs of the times. ( hit iii Manila Secretary Taft, the descendant of a long line of Puritan ancestors, acknowledged recently at a �THE FRIEND. 4 banquet tendered by Archbishop Harty that he hael acquired "an almost episcopal feeling" because eif the close relations with the Roman Church necessitated by the friar question." Here in the MielPacific, as the Annual Report of the Hawaiian Hoard shows, we Protestants are glad to acknowledge the devotedness with which so many of our Catholic brethren among us labor and the success attendant upon this spirit of consecration. We can learn much from one another's methods. There is large common ground upon which we ran co-operate. We can cherish the spirit which prays and hopes for the day when our Lord's prayer shall he answered in the completion of Christian unity, anel still better we can go far towarels realizing personally the brotherhood of service' for humanity. Mean time not a week passes without new testimony to the conquering power of this spirit of coinn.elesiiip. A month or so ago this took the shape <>f announcement that the Committees upon Union of three great American Churches had car- rieel their program successfully through the National Councils which they represent.

One' month on the Islands is long enough for anew worker to see the opportunities before him, and his only regret is that he must work alone' where' several me'ii could be used to advantage. My first Sunday was spent in Wailukit where the Board recently voted to open a new station. Upon imitation, I preached in the 1 Hawaiian church in the morning, and in the Japanese Church in the evening, both times through interpreters, and gave three' short addresses at other services. < >u Monday I preached at the Japanese Church at Puunene. The warm reception by the Board's workers em Maui, the cordiality of the Englishspeaking people at Wailuku. and their hearty invitation to reopen union services at the "foreign church." made my first trip to Maui full of delightful experiences. I *pon my second visit I was invited to spend a few days at Lahainaluna. where •i preaching service for the too boys in that school was hi'ld the second Sunday of this month. Hereafter this is to be a regular feature of the work eif that institution which is fortunate to be under the excellent supervision of Principal and Mrs. Clarence A. MacDonald. Rev. Samuel Knpu and Mr. black haw been two valuable additions to the teaching force. >n the second Sunelav evening of each month. Rev. D. W. K. White, pastor of the Lahaina Hawaiian Church, is to have a preaching service in English. English hymns are to be used. This service is designed particularly for the benefit of the young Hawaiians who know English, and prefer to hear it in the •hiii-'-h service's. The attendance upon •he first English service at which I preached was about thirty, and it is expected as soon as the service is regularly instituted that the numbers will increase. ' �THE FRIEND It is hoped that a rehearsal can be held for the practice of English hymns. The last few days have been spent in getting better acquainted with the work at the Wailuku side of Maui. An invitation has recently come to preach at the Chinese Church at Wailuku em the first Sunday morning of each month. A visit to Wailiev with Capt. Lyman of the Salvation Army gave an opportunity to speak twice there. A tour with him around West Maui once in three' months is being planned, when house to house visitation will be' carried on and religious literature distributed. That kind of work is much needed just at present on Maui and the pastors must be aroused to a realizatieiin of their duty in this elirectiou. The .Maui Association has been in session at Wailuku from Sept. 15th to Sept. 20th, at which our Churches were representee! by 12 ordained pastors ami 4 licentiates ami delegates from the Sunday Schools anel societies of Christian Endeavor. It was the best attended Association that has been known for a long time. The Churches were better represented than usual, and there lias been a larger attendance from the Endeavor Societies. The Sunday School Exhibit of Sunday, though being lengthy, was ex- cellent, and about 450 people were present, several being visitors from the townspeople of Wailuku. A good proportion of the exhibit was in English. The singing, as usual, was admirable, anil showed much patient rehearsal. Rev. I). N. Opunui of Hueloand Rev, David Murra\ of Kaupo, having been invited by their Churches to become' regular pastors weTe' examined and recommended, anel next Sunday afternoon are to be ordained at the Paia Church of which Rev.

The .Association expressed its hearty approval eif the new departure in that Revs. R. Y. Razata. and R. R. Dodge, the' two new foreign pastors joined the Association, and that Rev.

By d months from now when the Association meets again, I hope the "Union Church" at Wailuku will be able to report that regular Sunday evening services have been held.

THE CHILDREN'S TREAD-MILL When you put a horse on an endless of rollers he' serves a purpose,—he requently saws wood. It is most boring to the horse. A high spirited animal frets itself to death in the tread-mill set and a new horse makes considerable fuss before his spirit is broken. Did it ever occur to you that the children's school work is frequently of die "tread-mill" order without serving so much of a purpose? The public school system is arraigned frequently, —rightly enough, that it totally fails in moral training. Rut what does it do? If we could only be sure that it "sawed wood" instead of getting "on the nerve's" of the hope of the nation. "Utility!" Well, with that as desideratum, what do you expect of your .•caseh'ss round of figuring, spelling. reading and writing? There lingers even yet the' notion in many minds that this public school sort of education improves the manners and nieirals eif a people. How much harder will it be to get rid of the deep set conviction that the' 7, R's fit pupils for usefulness and therefore' the- State is warrantee! in compelling children to attend its schools. "Rut who says they don't?" answers some one. We submit a series of Yankee rejoinders: What do you expect eif this six to eight years struggle with Is not the net product arithmetic? worry 3 Any "bv-proelucts in the way of utility?" "Yes, mental exercise,— teachers call it 'drill.'" (Curiously enough that is just what the horses objected to). "Anil it helps to make bookkeepers e>r tape-sellers out of the poor little things." May be, but we doubt it. There is very little of thebread and butter utility in it; for after the poor little minds and nerves are' dulleel with these stultifying processes for some years they don't aelel or subtract with any more vim or ceirrectness.

It has been proven sufficiently often to be clear tei the investigator. The space in this article permits no time to discuss the spelling anel reaeling anel geography fetishes. The results aimed at would not be so unworthy if they were worth the peiweler. The effort to figure, reael and write sap all the vital energy of the' mind anil leave our little public-school wards shorn of their real power. After all to increase and make use children's powers is what our schools should be striving for. Where is the power of acquiring knowledge by the' training of eye anil hand to come in? Where the creative powers in art, the industries e>r science? (We are still looking at the question from a utilitarian standpoint you see —though thereis even higher vantage gmunel for criticism).

This is as true in the warfare of the Kingdom of (iexl as in a military conquest. Until Japan had taken Port Arthur the outcome of the war in the bar East, ii|>e>n which the future development of human history must hinge, was uncertain. When that fortress fell the world knew that a new chapter in its life hail been opened. Pointing of the Past. In the early clays the great Christian movement in these Islanels built up and held Lahainaluna, a splendid training school of noble leaders, the memory of whom will long remain a tradition throughout Hawaii. But in a moiiH-nt when faith gave place to sight, when spiritual vision was for the moment lost in anxiety for practical eletails, Lahainaluna was given to the Government for no other reason than money stringency. Alas for America if Harvard, Vale and their sister colleges had known such a fate! It seems harel to understand how graduates of these institutions could have made this fatal mistake. < >thcr causes help to explain the remarkable decadence of the Churches eluring the last 40 years, but the surreneler of Lahainaluna must ever stauel as symptomatic of them all. No Church of large and permeating power can he maintained today without at least one commanding educational institution. Second Missionary Advance. Any careful student of what is taking place in the religious life of these Islanels must realize that a very widespread spiritual movement is on foot. Take our Roarel aleme with its magnificent array of workers, drawn from five nationalities, anel its steadily enlarging endeavor. Witness how the Churches of the Nation are backing us up with men and means. Mark also the wealth of agencies, churches, schools, settlements, clubs, all centering their efforts on tlve spiritual appeal. It is clear that the' campaign is on, that the skirmish for position is quietly being Dashed anel that in short oreler the battle will burst forth in fury all along the line. It is an inspiring prospect. Meantime councils of war have clearly determined the citadel which marks the chief point of attack. Our Port Arthur is no matter of dispute. It is none other than A Christian Educational Center. There is no eali at present for ihe planting of a colHawaii gave te> the American worlel "the Hamilton idea." "the Tuskcgec idea." It diel not originate with Remkcr T. Washington, who caught it from Ceneral Armstrong. General Armstrong even was not its father; he was traineil up in it by that splendid hand of eelucators, the early missionaries, who in planting Lyman School, Lahainaluna Seminary and < hihu College made hand work and brain work go together, Hawaii needs for its thousands of growing boyi and girls an institution academical, agricultural and industrial in character, whose appeal shall lie suited to the demands eif life in this Terrilege. torv, and that too under distinctively Christian auspices. Such a school in order to turn out the kiinl of men ami women required as leaden must be in closest touch with the very heart of Hawaii nei—it should be near Honolulu. Yet it should also be separated sufficiently to constitute a little world of its own. The Seed I 'nlilled. Hawaii already has its Antlovcr Academy ill that institution of which we all are proud, Oahu College, a noble preparatory schoeil for white boys and girls, whose tendency is of necessity strongly towards Caucasian exelusiveness. Its expensiveness also limits its constituency, notwithstanding its numerous generous scholarships. Kamehameha, fairest flower of this fair land, is on the other "hand restricted to youth of Hawaiian blood and has already carried keenest disappointment to many a young heart by its announcement of room for no more. Meantime thousands of Hawaiians, Asiatics, children of mixed parentage anil others of all races look longingly for the education denied them. Buddhism vs. Christianity. The priests of this foreign cult are not idle. They are' are actually elebating the erection in Honolulu of a great institution to crown their system. Buddhism in Hawaii is an alien religion teaching an alien patriotism. What a menacethis is both to our nation anil tei our faith can be easily imagined. Are we. followers of Jesus, to be behind hand? The answer of the Christians of the Territory is overwhelmingly in the negative. Rallying about a splendid nucleus eif Christian schools in the capital city the elecision has been made to consolidate them into the covering the Territory with schools and Mid-Pacific Institute. A strange series of provielences has reserved on the very outskirts of the city of Honolulu a plateau gently sloping from a height of cyoo feet down to 300 feet above the sea, 300 acres in extent, with soil of rare richness and an imperial outlook westwarel commanding the broad Pa- cific from Koko Head to far off Waianac Mountains. This upland, retired yet just at hand, connected to the city by a fine electric transit system anel but a half hour distant from the center of town, has been placed at the disposal of the Hoard of Managers. Here all the varied industries of fruit production, market gardening, forest culture anel elairy farming such as are demanded by the necessities of this Territory, together with training in the traeles can go hand in hand with academic instruction. \'o tedious waiting for a constituency faces this young school which is young only in name and in its new location.

These constituent schools are the' Hawaiian Mission Children's Society assumed charge' of the work and formally opened the school which lias continued to grow until today it numbers 85 students. The policy of this institution has always been an inclusive one' anel it has not confined its energies to members of a single race-. Hawaiians, Chinese and Japanese, as well as those of inixe-d blood, have gone forth from Kawaiahao to all parts of the Territory and many of the noblest Christian women Hawaii holds are proud to call themselves lur alumnae. Among the long list of Principals and teachers there are' many honored names, for it is a characteristic of this school that it has always been able to summon to its aid talented and devoted educators, ready to surrender positions of much greater emolument anil name to serve as real missionaries here. The name of the institution will be perpetuated in the Cirls' Department of the Mid-Pacific Institute. The second of the three co-operating schools is . Mills Institute. widely known to all visitors to Honolulu through its Principal. Frank W Damon. This is one of those rare products, Uncreated, spontaneous, which came because God willed. Thirteen years ago, back in [893, six Chinese youths tired with the passion for knowledge', knocked at the eloor of the Damon home in Honolulu and asked to be taken in and taught. A room was found, instruction began, the six multiplied slowly until they have become more than four hundred who have found Mills a ble'sseel home of light and truth. The influence of this school upon our Territory can never be told. Its graduates are found in .ill walks of life, occupying positions of influence here, on the Pacific coast and in China The enrollment today is 81.

Others followed until the house was fille-d. Larger quarters were purchased, then a new dormitory erected and finally two years ago a third change was made. With sixty-three students the buildings are over crow tied. This school together with Mills, is to form the Damon School for Roys in the Mid Pacific Institute-, thus perpetuating a name very dear to finds its home. the people eif this Territory. Divine Compulsion. .Vote the remarkable coincidence in the founding of each of these three Schools. No one of them was planned, each was the outgrowth of a eleinand made by aspiring boys and girls who were moved by Cod's Spirit. There is no alternative today for them but to move onward or to die. The limit has been reached. No effort has been made to attract larger attendance. Puddings demand repairs, yet repair is but patching old garments with cloth cut from new bolts. God has deliberately thrown at us these boys ami girls with the prennise of hundreds more. He has given us the noblest school site in the Islands. Thoroughly and Aggressively Christian. Their aim is not merely mental training. They plan to turn out VOUUg men and women who have given themselves unreservedly to Christ and who view life as an op- portunity to 1 serve' their King. Nothing short of this can save this Territory. In Hawaii climate and .surroundings make nominal Christianity out of the question. Without real life one soon lapses anel the enemy has gained a captive 'This singleness of purpose forms the great com- pelling motive in the' inauguration of the enlarged prise. enter- While distinctively Christian however the move- ment is Neither Sectarian nor Denominational.

The Presiding Elder anel Pastor of the only white' Methodist Church of Hawaii has been chosen as one of the' Board of Managers and as a consequence no separate Christian Schools for Koreans will be needed. These Korean Christians are already a product of a union movement, the Methoelists by arrangement with our Hoard looking after both Presbyterian and Methodist converts who have immigrated here from Korea. One hundred of the young people of this race are waiting to enter the completed institution. Where in the history of Christian education has such a beginning been recorded —more than three hundred pupils reaely before the school-site- purchase has been concluded or the buildings have' been erected.-' Mark here the significance of three of the racial names involved in the new enterprise, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans. No ore can doubt that the intercourse between OUT nation and these three peoples of Eastern Asia must grow closer with every succeeding year. Hawaii is to play a peculiarly intimate role' in introducing them to one another. 'This Territory also is to send to the remotest parts of these three Eastern countries the message of the Carpenter of Nazareth anil to do SO by men native to each. Already this work has begun. To accomplish this destiny fully there must be a training school here on these Islands to inaugurate this notable missionary advance. This is one of the ieleals that move us in the establishment of this enlarged institution. After years of faithful consideration of their duty to the youth of this Territory and after long cherishing the dream of just such a elevelopment as that which now demands realization the Roarel clearly recognizes that the establishment of �8 THE FRIEND The Mid-Pacific Institute in power is the one main objective of the Christian campaign for winning present clay Hawaii with its dominating Asiatic population to Christ. This endeavor is enir Port Arthur. Shall we capture the prize? To do this, to seize this opportunity demands no less than the raising of Tzvo Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars for enelowment in addition to one hundred thousand dollars for buildings anel equipment. How this is to be secured no one of the promoters knows. It is sufficient to be convinced that Goel is laying upon us the absolute necessity to eepiip, man and conduct such an enterprise in order to make ready for the proud destiny eif these Islands. That is our faith and we call upon all those ill this Territory whom Coil has blessed with wealth to rally about this institution. A Sine Qua Non. Hawaii needs this enterprise. The vast agricultural riches of this mid-ocean Paradise are to be developed by those traineel on the ground. Professor Krause of Kamehameha estimates that mainland-taught farmers must plan to waste from three to five years here before they arc fitted to cope with local conditions. We must turn out young men anel women familiar with the needs, the possibilities and the difficulties of our island agriculture in order to realize the development in store for Hawaii. Small farmers is the cry, but few freim oversea are forthcoming. During the next epiarter century scores eif thousands of acres of public lanel will revert to the Territory for settlement. Shall not the Church of Christ train a regiment or two of capable young people, born on the soil, citizens of the Union, fitted to make these lands the garden spot of the world? The imagination glows with the prospect anel the heart of the Church warms to it. because coincident Peace I has now succeeded to the terrific and con- quering battling thundered for eighteen months by new and unesteemed, yet mighty Japan against proud, colossal Russia of old renown. All the watching and anxious Nations rejoice and breathe freely. Continued war was a perpetual threat—a conflagration liable at any time to involve other nations, while it was itself a horrible destruction of human lives, and a wasting elrain of treasure needed for human welfare. All the forces of the world's benevolence have striven together to persuade the great contestants to come into agreement. They have happily succeeded. We bless God for the result. Now a new chapter in history begins. We are strongly moved to consider what it may bring forth. Most material changes are anticipated for Russia, and her relations to other European states. But our interest in Hawaii naturally turns to contemplating the probable political changes in the Orient which our The Money will Come.

Considering confremts. We may well expect a great revolution in national relations in the Orient, both local and towards European Rowers.

The rousing call from slumber has been made upon massive, torpid China by the thundering din of war at her gates. She has been aroused to the urgent necessity of arming and equipping herself in moelern warfare, and to that end, of educating her young men in all moelern science as Japan has done. Under such stimulating leadership wonderful developments are the native capacity of the Chinese people, their enormous numbers, and their immense resources, such developments in power and wealth are likely soon to be gigantic and portentous, unless the' awakening is strangely slow. Peering thus into the future of the present Peace, we can only dimly foresee vast changes at hand, both in China's internal condition anil in her outwarel relations to the worlel.

Rut the boy cannot ami will not understand this, but eagerly believes much that he hears. Wherein lies the- remedy? Pew would advocate keeping the public schools open more than the 36 to -)<> weeks provided by the present schedules. The tendency is rather to shorten than to lengthen the school year. But there is a solution of the- ve-xe-el question, if not in full, at bast in part. Many of the- cities and towns of the United States have- already taken up the problem and have- secured results. The location Schools already show signs of permanence- and best of all the results have' surpassed the- hopes of the promoters and more' than justified the lime and money spent. Time was when few would have- been hardy enough to suggest that children remain in school the year round, but the' improved mental, moral, and physical life of the pupils who attend vacation schools is sufficient response.

Mr. Joseph See of Boston states that the first vacation school he has found recorded, was starteel in Boston in 9 r866. One teacher conducted the school, which after iX'iß was carried on •n a public school building and the text books were lent by the city, bjut this movement was slow in develop ing. In 1902, however, Boston had 2\ vacation schools, including five which might better be classed simply as playgrounds. About te-n years ago, other cities took up the plan anil to-day vaea '.inn schools are- found in several hundred cities and towns of the- United States.

(>ften two sessions are- held, one in the- forenoon for one se-t of children, ami ane in tin- afternoon for another set. Quoting from Mr. See, the' cost for each child a day varied from less than live- evnts to more than twenty-five. "In the- te-n New York public vacation schools, the term in iScjcj was six weeks, the aver age- attendance- in each school was 42ft; the average class was thirty, the daily cost per pupil pre'se'iit was thirteen and four-tenths cents, total cost of schools, $17,166. 'The' supplies cost somewhat more- than the- teachers, an exceptional state of things, to be attributed to the large number of experiments in industrial work.

A livery stable- only a few fe-e-t from theKitchen and dining room, is responsible formany an uneaten breakfast, ( its morn ing cleaning taking place at our breakfast hour), anil for much discomfort at other time-s. while- the moral atmosphere of the rear neighborh 1 is often quite as unsavory. A house that touches our back fence, and occupied by se'veT.al women, has been for some time' under nightly surveillance by the police', ami notes that have' been passed to the girls through the' fence were' said by the boys who passed them, to be- from these women. These boys are- part of a gang that infests the premises at all hours, climbing our trees and fences, anil annoying the girls so that many of them prefer to remain indoors or on the- piazzas, rather than be insulted while at play. A call for police aiel to clear the premises once or twice a week is not unusual. The girls are thus deprived of even the small space that the yard affords for exercise, and their health suffers in consequence, while moral training cannot make the headway that it .should, against such an undertone of evil influence. The buildings are old, and rapidly approaching the state where repairs will mean money thrown away. The dormitory system, for which they are constructed, is proeluctive of unspeakable evil, anel should be abaneloned for sepa- �THE FRIEND 12 sleeping rooms, but the change here would he out of the question. The lots in our rear have been tilled in until our own is considerably below their level. Consequently, after heavy rains, the lower end of the yard, where the laundry and bath house are situated, isince eleep in water for days at a time. Even in dry weather there is constant dampness, anel often standing water under and around these buildings. The outlook for the school, if no change is maelc, is not cheering. If it cannot advance, it must inevitably begin a retrograele movement, anel advance is out of the question under present conditions 'The best that can be hoped for as a financial ending to this year, is to make ends meet. Another year will present demands for things which would In- new cloth on an old garment,— a hew floor in the kitchen, new range, sinks, and hot water boiler, new sinks in the dormitories, anel the last of the old furniture replaced with new. "If the Lord should open windows in heaven," or if Mrs. Allen would pass on her promised five thousand to the school as it is, these things might be possible, and the life of the school prolonged until success meets the efforts to place it in a new location. Unless the equipment and appearance of the school can be kept up, however, it is doubtful whether the present teachers can be retained, or the school justifield in inducing first-class workers to come to it. A good workman will not and should not work with poor tools; the results belie his ability. Professional reputation is the teacher's stock-in-trade, and must he jealously guarded. Every teacher here, —from abroad,—came from a first-class position to find herself in a second rate school, and, her professional pride being touched, each has worked with her might to bring the school to the state where she could remain in it without sacrificing her self-respect. The school lacks only the new buildings and location to bring it to that state. K. C. M. rate BOYS' CLUBS NOTES. The Boys' Clubs began operations the week following the opening of the Government schools. We are glad to report that all the old Club managers are back at their posts. This argues well for the maintenance of the life of our Clubs. ()ur greatest need today is for live young men, who will interest themselves in the welfare of the boys of the street. Boys are like other animals, they seek the greenest pastures. If our Clubs can offer the boys something to make it worth their while, there will be no difficulty in coralling from the streets more than enough boys to fill our reioms. Just now indoor baseball anel basket ball is the bait most tempting to both Juniors and Seniors. A series of indoor baseball games is about to be arranged. The games will be played in turn at the differ" ent Club rooms and will be the means of creating a great ileal of healthy excite- learning a fine lesson in honor among sportsmen.

In these, figures for Chinese immigration covering the years 1879 to 1898 are found. They differ somewhat from those which appear in the "Chinese Arrivals" papers of the i the Chinese Bureau. Mr. J. W. Cirvin, for several yean in charge of th\s bureau, and Miss Kate- Kclley until lately connected with the Executive Office, have very kindly aided me in securing material for the subjoined tables. The discrepancy between the thre-e lines of estimates is quite- large. Probably table 111 gives the more correct total. Hon. Chang Tso Fan the Chinese Consul in Honolulu, has estimated that the total immigration of separate individuals, excluding travelers and counting hut once those who have entered Hawaii two or more times, is about 30,000. This estimate seems to Mr. Cirvin and others rather low. They woulel prefer to regard it as nearer 40,01x1.

Sunday School so Substitute. In the first place, let me say that the Sunday School never can and was nevei meant to take the' place of the home' in the Christian training of children. At best it can hut supplement the home, and where' the home life' is absolutely at variance with all that is good and holy the Sunday School stands a relatively small chance of giving a new life- to the indiStill, of course-, the- Sunday vidual. School is glad to try in every case. Rut what is one- hour a week spent at the' Sunday School compared to the' time which the child lives in the home, saturated with the' home atmosphere, whether good, bad, or indille re'ii: Education. Education is of several different kimls. Children go to the' public schools td learn things which they cli 1 not know before, to increase their knowledge. < <: they may be educated to be skillful in And still ansome' branch of labor. other kind of education is Christian education, a discipline or training ol character. This branch of education is the most important kind of all. Yet many .seem to think that one hour a week without any instruction at home by teaching or example, ought to he sufficient to prepare us for eternal life, when the public schools give five days a week to instruction in the knowledge of this world. There is not a single thing in this worlel or any other which is so valuable as a good character. Character is not what a man appears to be: it is what he really is. Neither riches nor worldly success are of my use, without a good character. Rife would still lie a failure. But with a By 15 proper height. guiding and guarding. Right thoughts and feelings must he- suggested, if good habits are- to he formed, and character is largely made up of good habits. We all know when any .kinel of growth can he'st be trained. It is when a growth is young, from the very beginning. The most favorable age for Christian'training is childhood, anil especially its earlier years when new impressions <if every description are being received. Therefore upon the home falls the' gre-at responsibility of starting the' growth of character in the right direction. Father, mother, brothers and sisters, are' responsible for starting a Christian education, in order that the' Sunday School may carry on to fulleT completion that which has been begun by those whom Cue! has appointed for this very purpose. So to have a relation to the Sunday School the home must he Christian. ()f course even in Christian homes children may learn the meaning of Christianity and refuse to obey it, unnatural as this really is. The' natural thing is for children to growu)i as Christians, anel never know themselves as anything else. iTn in- continued). Lus Angelcn, MA6UIRE-KEKAULA—In Hito, Autf. •<>.

The Friend has not expressed itself as forcibly as it would like in regard to the crusade against gambling as carried on by the Advertiser—the leading daily newspaper of these Islands. The Advertiser has made a very earnest and a very much needed expose of certain gambling houses which have been prominent and almost open in their brazen destruction of the morals of the community. It was impossible to get the police officials to attack the former gambling den on the corner of Fort and Hotel streets until Governor Carter and Sheriff Henry took the matter in hand. It has been as difficult to get the police to move against Moore's notorious den near Miller's restaurant. There are supposed to be rooms in other prominent places where gambling is carried on. W. 1). W. The Chicago & Alton Railroad Co. has issued rules for its employes, forbidding them to visit saloons, race tracks, dance halls or other resorts where liquor is sold or gambling permitted. It is a business matter. The railroad requires the best service the man can give. The service depends upon the habits of the man. Therefore the prohibition. The railroad company is not trying to reform men. It is not heading a crusade against vice or immorality. It is engaged in the railroad business. If that business is injured or affected by the bad habits of an employe, either the employe must quit his bad habits or quit the employment of the company. And thus does the strenuous requirement of this commercial age minister to morals. A man may pooh pooh sentiments about temperance and morality. He may say he will drink what he pleases. He may say the company pleases and go where he pleases. He may say the company is interfering with his personal liberty. It matters not. Everywhere he goes the necessity for sobriety and steadiness of habits confronts him. The employe is free to do as he pleases so long as he pleases to be decent. Which is after all the true measure of personal liberty. GOVERNOR FOLK'S TEMPERANCE SPEECH. At the Aurora Chautauqua, Governor Folk said: "Whenever a dramshop is open when the law savs it shall be closed, you will find that some one is getting graft. When the dramshop law is not enforced the gambling law cannot be, and the seed once sown the evil grows until it envelops everything. This republic is not agovernment of men,but a government of law. When a law is odious repeal it— don't let it be a dead letter. I am not an alarmist when I say that if the laws of the country are not enforced the republic will fall through the props of the laws on which it rests becoming decayed. "You often have heard that the dramshop laws cannot be enforced but they have been in St. Louis, St. Joe and Kansas City, and they will be as long as I am governor. They said grass would growin the streets of St. Louis. It hasn't. The city is more prosperous than it was when the dramshops were open on Sunday. The difference between now and then is that now families have food where they did not have it before, because the working head of the family spent his earnings in Sunday debauchery : STATE IS NOT HURT. "No state can be hurt by the enforceof the law. Everywhere you hear it said—where officials are uncovering rottenness —that 'they will injure their states.' There has been 25 per cent, greater increase of immigration into Missouri since corruption was exposed three and one-half years ago, than in any similar period of the state's history. "There has been 33 per cent, greater increase in the price of land in the same length of time than in any similar period. Revenues have increased to such an extent that I shall recommend a reduction in the tax rate to the next legislature. You see it pays to enforce the law, even from the sordid standpoint of business. "In Kansas City real estate has gone up more in the four months since the dramshop law has been enforced than it had in as many years. St. Joe is becoming one of the most thriving municipalities in the country. We have proved that it doesn't hurt a city to bring about a reign of law." ment BACKBONE. Mayor Minahan of Green Bay. Wis., has a spinal column of proper proportions for a public official. He is one of that type of men now attracting public attention, who regard a public office as a public trust to which they should be un- falteringly faithful. After touching a match to about three thousand dollars' worth of gambling tools, mostly taken from a saloon in that city, he said: "I am not seriously concerned about the length of my service to the j>eople of Green Ray in my present capacity, but I propose to have something to say about the quality of that service." THE SUMARAI OF JAPAN. W. I). WKSTKRVKLT. Read by Mrs. Caroline Castle Westcrvclt at the October meeting of the Woman's Board, Central Union Church. A Japanese writer in 1895 closed the preface of his condensed story of "Japan and the Japanese" with the following significant words: "The day after the naval victory in the Yellow Sea." He meant that Japan had won her first great battle with modern warships and the Chinese had been defeated. An American instructor of youth and student of history said as he looked over Japanese history: "They have been fighters from way back." Inazo N'itobe, in an excellent sketch of the highest ethical life of Japan, published in 1901, describes the military class — the Samurai—as "the Soul of Japan." and attributing to the generations of these soldiers the highest qualities of honorable knighthood. The code of these warriors consisted of maxims handed down from generation to generation and passed from person to person. The English love of fair play in fight was as genuine in ancient Japan as in England. The Japanese writer says: "The conception of Rectitude may be erroneous —it may be narrow —but Rectitude is the bone that gives firmness and stature." The acceptance of "right" as the basis of life led to what the Samurai called "Giri" or obedience to right reason—or in other words—the endeavor to obey the idea of duty—or as the English say—"Giri" is "fair play." Modern Japanese thinkers recognize that there was a tendency to make this idea of duty-doing degenerate into obedience to self-will, self-interest or into an excuse for wrong living, as when girls sold themselves into an evil life to provide means for their parents. Frequently as has been said the idea of the Samurai was narrow and erroneous—but after all it was noble—and was one of the very best foundations for "The making of a nation," and explains much of the mystery which has attended the rapid development of Japanese power and ability during the past fifty years. Courage almost necessarily accompanied this obedience to duty. It led the intelligent Samurai to count his own life worthless if it could be sacrificed with honor. IX-ath could come honorably by his own hand if apparent dishonor lay in living. �5 THE FRIEND Spartan endurance was an absolutt necessity in learning how to walk in the path of supposed duty. Anecdotes of fortitude and bravery and self-denial abound in Japanese literature. Even at this present time the descendants of tht Samurai count no task too low in Unsocial scale if thereby what is to them a higher end, can be secured, and here in Hawaii more ministers, teachers, merchants and household servants are Samurai than most of our householders realize. It is interesting to note that side by side w-ith the sterner side of Samurai life there was what the Japanese termed "Bushi no nasaki"—"The tenderness of a warrior"—a compassion, a regard for the suffering of others. This led to the development of that politeness which seemes to Europeans and Americans to be so frequently carried to an extreme, but which after all has a strong tendency to make any one somewhat tender in regard to the feelings of others. It is better to be over polite than to be over brusque. Naturally these and all other helpful principles of noble living, gained as they were, through much dim grasp of truth, resulted in loyalty to the Mikado and the government as one of the highest ends of life. In this way as Inazo Nitobe says, "The szvord came into power and played an important part in social discipline and life. The saying passed as an axiom which called 'the sword the soul of the Samurai.' The two swords which he carried in his belt "became a symbol of what he carried in his mind and heart loyalty and honor." Any study of the elements entering into the formation and growth of the Japanese empire—"The making of the nation"—must recognize the Samurai as the very heart blood which made and perpetuated the national life and strength. Dr. Griffis in his "Outline Study of Japan," recognizes the power of the Samurai character when he says that the Christian Samurai are the Flores Christi of Japan. They are the flowers of Christ—the Christian knights in Japan's crusade toward civilization. Dr. Griffis in the chapter devoted to "the making of the nation" lays great stress upon the development of this military class which we have been considering today, and upon its "thousand years of shining career" in the land of the Mikado. A class of men like the Samurai would not only be powerful in unifying and perpetuating a nation, but it is also easily seen that their training and combined unity of action prepared — them to receive and retain and grow into the most impressive forms of the life of other nations after their doors were opened to foreign influence. Dr. Griffis in his chapter on"The Island Empire" very accurately "Without war they have received seed— or leaven—from both the ()rient and the Occident. The elements of progress from beyond sea have come without the sword. The triumphs of the alien have been "brain victories." At first Japan was |>copled by inharmonious families, but as the years passed one family gained the ascendency and a Mikado known among the people as "the child of the sun" was the central power in government. Then speedily the military class developed and the princes surrounded by two sworded men, as loyal retainers, were feudal lords in the different provinces. Then later with many occasions of internal wars, various daimio families superseded each other in the Shogunate or rule of the military class under a shogun or general—and at last with the final overthrow of the Shogunate came the establishment of a legislature. Every change has depended upon the strong hand and self controlled spirit of the Samurai. It is this spirit which led the soldiers of Japan to become the devoted followers of "rectitude" or "obedience to duty" when it appeared under the form of wonderful and new truths— "brain forces" from the Orient or from the Occident. It is this spirit of "obedience to duty," as the Samurai understands duty, which is the foundation of the following description of "The Christian Samurai" by Rev. T. Harada, the earnest pastor of one of the Congregational Churches of Kobe. "Loyalty and filial piety demand from us nothing short of complete surrender of ourselves to our master or parents. It is the spirit of not living unto one's self, but unto our superiors. The Samurai considered it a matterof course that he should die fighting in front of his lord's house. That his life was not his own was his firm conviction. We may well say that the spirit of the ancient Bushi in his relation to his lord was essentially the same as that expressed by the apostle's words, 'For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself; for whether we live we live unto the Lord; and whether we die we die unto the Lord, whether we live therefore or whether we die we are the Lord's." This spirit of unity of interest between the government and its most powerful class of supporters made the Japan of the past and of the present. It is a like spirit which will make Christianity the Kingdom above kingdoms and the Christ— "King of kings and Lord of lords." A LETTER FROM REV. HIRAM BINGHAM ON THE LOST GILBERTESE DICTIONARY. Having incidentally heard how Ur. Bingham has been of late engaged, we requested him to give The Friend some account of his work. He has favored us with the reading of a letter to Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., Corresponding Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., which furnishes the facts. With his permission we give to our readers the letter in full, believing that they will be interested in all the particulars.—Editors of The Friend. (A Copy.) 1439 Alexander St., Honolulu, H., Oct. 14, 1905. Rev. Judson Smith, 1). I)., Cor. Sec. A. B. C. F. M. My Dear Dr. Smith:— In my brief letter to you of the 6th mst., I alluded to some literary work in which I had been especially engaged of late, and I remarked that I would write you more fully about it a little later. ()n the 27th of May, 1902, Mr. Channon wrote me as follows: "I have sent you on the 'Carrie and Annie' a copy of my Gilbert Islands Dictionary, as it is I also send you at present. * * the list of words we have without the definitions, thinking there may be some you may not have. Make what use of it you can, and keep it as long as you continue to do literary work; and then will you not let me have it back, with any notes you may have added." You may remember that in September, 1898, I loaned my own Gilbertese-English Dictionary (a manuscript) to a Mr. Frederick W. Christman, an English philologist, who had been touring throughout the Pacific in quest of philological material and had reached Honolulu; and that this manuscript has never been returned to me. I believe Mr. Christian's written statement that upon his near departure from here he put the manuscript into the hands of a Japanese porter of the club-house in which he was staying, with instructions to ring up a hack to return the book. Although not all of the 6,000 Gilbertese words which it contained had been defined, yet it contained so many definitions, and the correct spelling of all the Gilbertese words, that in my residence here in Honolulu, it was of much service to me in my literary work for that people, and the loss to me at least was very great; and I greatly appreciated a part of the statement in «n editorial paragraph in the Missionary * �6 Herald of December. 1898, p. 491, in which it was said: "Our profound sympathies go out to Dr. Bingham in the loss that he and the world have sustained." Without solicitation on my part the Hawaiian Government put an expert detective on the work of recovering the manuscript, offering a reward of $50 for its safe return, but this was without avail. I was too busy in the preparation of my Gilbertese Commentary on the New Testament to turn aside to prepare a tins dictionary. Upon this I was at work when in May, 1002, I received the copy of Mr. Channon's Dictionary of which I have spoken above. It was found to contain about 6,232 Gilbertese words, of which about 2,674 were defined, thus leaving about 3,558 waiting to be defined. In view of the virtual request of my associate, Rev. 1. M. Cbannon, that in addition to my making such use of it as I could, I would "add notes," and in view of the kindness he had shown in having a copy of his manuscript dictionary made for my use, I was wont to give a little time almost daily for some weeks to a revision of the work which he had already done. I had as a helper a Gilbertese man who when a boy received instruction on Apaiang, but who came with his father long ago (1880) to these Islands to labor on the plantations. Upon his return to the Gilbert Islands in October, 1903, with nearly all of the Gil- bertese colony then in these Islands, I ceased giving any attention to the Dictionary, devoting all my time to the Commentary. On this I was engaged when Mr. Channon arrived here on the "Morning Star" on the 15th of last July. He was here but a very few days. Naturally we spoke of his Dictionary, and in the course of the conversation I asked him from what source be had gathered the undefined words. He replied in substance that when Taing (one of his bright pupils who had accompanied him as far as Honolulu on his return to the States on his first furlough in the spring of 1897) was here, he had copied out the Gilbertese words from my manuscript, since lost. I had an impression that such a work had been done by that remarkable Gilbert Islander, Moses Kaure, whose history is given on p. 301 of the Missionary Herald for July, 1890, and so I had long before written to him about it, but it proved to he only a list of Acre Testament words to he used as the basis of a manuscript concordance for himself. Imagine then the peculiar pleasure which came to me from the statement of Mr. Channon. After the loss of my own dictionary I tried to find among my effects an old manuscript vocabulary into which THE FRIEND. Mrs. Bingham and myself, more than forty years ago, were wont to enter newwords which we from time to time heard, and which manuscript had been helpful to me in the compiling of my own dictionary in 1873-75, when we were residing on Apaiang. For a long time 1 could not find it, but one day it turned up. Upon careful examination I found that it contained about 3,600 words, common and uncommon ; that the majority of the rare words had been entered in Mrs. Bingham's handwriting, also their definitions. A strong feeling came over me that Mr. Channon should have the benefit of the labors of such a rare linguist as was my beloved wife; and not only he, but other Americans, or English, who might in coming years seek to labor for the spiritual good of the Gilbertese; and so, on the 21st of August, 1905, I dropped my work on the Commentary and began collating the two manuscripts. This results in my having secured from that old book (much of it closely and finely interlined, unused for thirty years), the definitions of no less than a thousand words more or less rare, in Mrs. Bingham's hand writing, besides many in my own. If now to Mr. Channon's 2.71*) we add Mrs. Bingham a I,(XX) and my own, (with some others), 1,300, we have a total of 5.00a Gilbertese words more or less defined. There still remain to be defined some 1.200. Scarcely any of them could he found in any books or quarterlies thus far printed in (iilbertese. and one might read a multitude of letters written by natives without finding one in which any of these words might chance to occur. What they mean I do not know, even if T may have known some of them thirty years ago. My memory is failing in my old age. and I rarely meet a (iilbertese. There may be among these 1,200 some words which might prove very useful in our missionary work. Should they be examined? If so, who shall do the work? Without a competent (iilbertese helper it would be impossible for me to do it. If my health would permit I would rejoice to take up my residence agwin on Apaiang, and not many weeks would pass before I would know more about those 1.200 words than I now do. Hut to entertain the thought would be unwise, especially as I am able to write my commentary by myself alone in this study. The question then arises, shall I now, after having spent about four hours a day on Mr. Channon's Dictionary for the last seven weeks, and having accomplished about all I can to advantage by myself, resume my work on the Com- mentary, awaiting further indications of Providence, or take immediate steps to secure a capable assistant ? Hoping scion to hear from you, I am cordially yours, HIRAM BINGHAM. very faithfully and Lahin, Maui. —Rev. S. Kapu, one of the instructors the Lahainaluna school, reports that the school C, E.

Put yourself in their place. at RAMS. TCHOIEYF Rev. I-:. W. Thwing. All the Chinese who are living in Hawaii, with very few exceptions, come from the province of Canton or Kwong Tung, which means the "Broad East." This province, which is situated in the South Eastern part of China, has for its Capital "Yeung-Shing" or the "City of Rams," commonly known as Canton. It is one of the chief com- mercial centers of the Empire, the New York of China, with a population of from one and a half to two million people. (her two or three thousand years ago. according to the old Chinese story, five genii came riding through the air, on five rams, and founded this ancient city, and to-day one of tho principle gates is called the "Gate of the Five (ienii." It is a wonderful city, with its more than 600 streets, many of them very crooked and narrow, an ideal city in which to lose one's way. It is surrounded by a wall 20 ft. thick and 30 ft. high, with some twelve gates. At night these gates are all shut, but from early morning until dark there is one constant stream of busy humanity passing in and out. It is a great place to see Chinese life and study Chinese ways. Through one of the gates we may see a Chinese official riding in his sedan chair. Another official may be following on a small pony. Perhaps next will come a procession of blind beggars, each leaning on the shoulders of the one in front. Then will come burden bearers of all kinds, shouting their various cries to clear the road. �F THE RIEND. 7 A SHRINE AT THE RIVER CANTON FROM THE RIVER. A CITY OF BOATS. But one's first view of Canton is from the river. Taking a fine river steamer from Hongkong, some 90 miles to the south, after about eight hours' journey, the city is reached, and it looks at first like a city of boats. Nearly 100,000 people are living in boats along the river front. And long before we can make fast to the Canton wharf, we seem surrounded by these boats of all sorts and sizes. Some crying for passengers, ■others making ready to take off the steamer's freight, and all fighting for a first place at the steamer's side. Here are little slipper boats with their sharp pointed toe. One of them is seen in the picture. They are the express boats of China. There arc "sampans," ferry boats, curiously built junks, with their high sterns reaching far out of the water, and with great painted eyes on their bows to see the way in the dark. The river front of Canton is changing much in these days and tall chimneys are here and there seen, showing the coming of the modern work shops. The two tall spires of the Catholic cathedral have long been one of the landmarks of Canton. As one has passed up the river several small temples or shrines at the river front have been noticed. One maybe for the "Goddess-Mercy," where the women come to worship. Another perhaps is for the sailors who come to these little river shrines to pray for a good and successful voyage as their junks start out. STRKKTS OF CANTON.

This is but an example of the superstition of these people -who have not learned the truth. A visit to the "Temple of Horrors," to the "Temple of 5000 Idols," and other such places would only show more of the darkness of old Canton. A NKW CANTON. But changes are coming thick and fast in Canton. The dim light of a wick, burning in a little cup of oil, has given place to the brighter light of the candle, this again to the lamp, and now even in far away Canton the lamp makes way for the electric light. New schools, new churches, new shops, new trade and commerce are stirring up the people of this old city. They are becoming fully alive to the new opportunities. The government is building a fine bund to face the water front. The steamboat ferries and new railroad are carrying the people back and forth and stirring them out of their old ruts. After an absence of six years from Canton, a visit there shows most remarkable changes. The new buildings on the Fati side of the river make a The new splendid improvement. Christian college buildings are going up a little further down below the city. The students of many of the new schools are adopting a fine school uniform. The people come eagerly for the new learning, to the churches and schools, yet they feel much indignation at the actions of Western nations. "China is awake, but not in the best temper, as is the case with one sudden- ly, unwillingly roused. She is at school, but dislikes her teachers; a bright, but stubborn pupil; ambitious, yet selfconceited. She tolerates the presence of foreigners; admits innovations, not from conviction, but motives of prudential policy and for self-preservation ; guarantees to foreign representatives the residence and audience befitting their mission; to merchants, immunity from obstructive interference, and to the missionaries, 'more than usual high consideration,' as runs the imperial rescript of 1862. How far these international stipulations have been maintained old residents can answer." Thus speaks a recent writer on China. She is certainly qwake to-day, and desirous of seeing her country powerful and prosperous. Here in this great commercial center of Canton, the people want to see a new China. They want China to have a place among the nations of the world. They are seeking for just and fair treatment by others. BOYCOTT AT CANTON. The Anti-American feeling and boyhere as in other parts of China. At the very popular Chinese "Moon-feast" held about the middle of September, the necessary "Mooncakes" were made of rice flour and other things, rather than to use any of the fine American flour which of late years has come into such common use. The Chinese ladies of the city have declared that this year, none made of the usual flour shall be bought. They will not buy from restaurants, the fancy cakes and confections, unless they give up the use of the American flour. So here in Canton, families as well as merchants are joining earnestly in giving to America the lesson she needs. It is unfortunate that trade has to be cott is strong interrupted in order to secure a fairer treatment of the Chinese by America. But it seems to be the only way to bring to America a realization of the importance of this Oriental trade. If by unjust treatment of the Chinese. China's trade is turned from America to other countries, it will be a difficult matter to regain that trade. 'The more educated Chinese are thinking deeply, to-day, of America's treatment of her people in the United States. illl \i:si'. EXCLUSION. One constant topic of conversation, in Canton as elsewhere in China at present, is the subject of Chinese exclusion. The better class of Chinese you meet every where are talking about it, and insisting on better treatment. They cannot understand why their people are treated so unjustly by Americans. Granted that more Chinese laborers are not permitted to enter the United States in great numbers, those who are already there should be allowed to have their wives and children with them. What must they think of such laws, which do not permit of a wife to come to her husband? Exclusion laws may continue, but they must be modified. Examinations must be made beforeleaving China, rather than at San Francisco. Chinese gentlemen must not be treated with discourtesy and insult. The home life of those Chinese now in America must be allowed and encouraged. Let new laws be made with a spirit of justice and moderation, and they will command the respect of both Americans and Chinese alike. With right laws, the old feeling of friendship for America will come back, and China and America will both benefit alike. �THE FRIEND. 9 sponsible for the action of agents, of whom a leading Before leaving Canton, if one has Rev.

In the daily papers of Honolulu for October 14th there appeared the following notice: The following resolution was unanimously passed by the committee on Hawaiian interests under the Hawaiian Board: Resolved, That the Hawaiian committee hereby expresses our hearty disapproval of the action of the Church in Ewa in planning a dance in connection with the proposed concert for the benefit of the Church. And we desire our members who have charge to exert themselves to do away with that part of the program, and we are thoroughly assured of the full agreement of the whole Board in this matter. S. E. BISHOP, Chairman. Honolulu, October 13, 1905. We, the undersigned, who have acted in behalf of the Ewa ChuTch, hereby express our cordial agreement with the views of the committee and would announce that the proposed dance will ac- cordingly be omitted. E. S. TIMOTEO. F. K. ARCHER. The facts are these: A statement had been published on the previous day that on Saturday evening, October 14, a Church concert would be held in the pavilion at Pearl City, accompanied with dancing, for the purpose of raising funds for the proposed removal of the Ewa Church edifice from Waiawa to Pearl City. A meeting was therefore hastily summoned of the Hawaiian Committee to avert this impropriety. While the Board can exercise no Ecclesiastical authority .over the Churches, an authority vested solely in the Evangelical Association and the respective Island Associations, it is peculiarly re- its salaried one is the involved in in their action. Mr. Timoteo has proved himself a very devout and efficient laborer in evangelistic work among the Hawaiian Chnrches, and in solving and removing their many pilikias, or difficulties. For the past few months he has been directed to give special attention to the Church at Ewa, which had become wretchedly disorganized by the erratic (possibly insane) conduct of its late pastor, T. M. Ezera, who had set up as the prophet of a new and immoral religion. Air. Timotc-o's diligent efforts appear to have been very wise and successful in restoring union and spiritual activity. Unfortunately our esteemed worker was misled into a consent to the proposed introduction of dancing into the attractions of a Church festival for raising money. This involved the Board, who have accordingly admonished their excellent employee, and he has withdrawn from his unseemly position. He had been not unnaturally misled by the knowledge that dancing has extensively made its way into Evangelical families and schools. In taking this action, the Board do not at all pronounce upon tne propriety of individual Christians participating in formerly prohibited amusements. This action relates entirely to the impropriety of dancing forming a part of a Church festival. In this it does not go beyond what appears to be the practice of the very liberal Protestant Episcopal Church, as well as the universal sentiment of our Evangelical Churches. Apparently, however, the prevailing sentiment among the members of our Board is decidedly adverse to dancing by Christians at all. S. E. B. . RELATION OF THE HOME TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Rev. A. S. Baker. (Continued Citizenship. As soon as a child begins to learn anything it knows that it is a citizen of the United States. It does not have to agree to this for itself, but it finds that it is a citizen. It is only if it should refuse to be a citizen that it would have to do something. Then it would have to leave the country and live somewhere else, and become a citizen of another country where it was not born. Now it is just the same way with the Christian life, in regard to which we read in (Phil. 3:20) the Bible that our be citizens of the United States and children of our parents, but this is not the natural or right thing to do. As a citizen of the United States every child learns to keep its laws, it goes to school, and later votes, and does its part in life. Just so as a citizen of heaven it wants to know and keep Us laws, and do its part in life, so as to be ready for that truly real life, that spiritual life which is eternal. This is the true secret of Christian training; bring up your child as a Christian, not as though you were working to get it to become one. The only way to do this is by having the Spirit of Christ rule all your life. Make your home indeed a Christian home. The first church of God was in a home. And it was in a home that the Holy Spirit descended with power upon the early Christians. This may be repeated in your home, if you become a household of faith. J. Hudson Taylor said, "If mother and father, if sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house are not better and happier for your being a Christian, it is a question whether you really are one." Home Influence. Have your child baptized in infancy, as a sign of God's provision for it, and a pledge by you that it will be brought up to know God, its Father, and his loving care for it. Not only guide your own life by the law of Christ, the law of love and service, but show all the outward signs of a Christian life. Ask the blessing of God before you partake of food. Establish family prayers at sonicconvenient hour of the day, even if the time must be but brief. With all your family sing praise to God. Make it as natural to talk of religious subjects as of business or pleasure. To do this never put on a peculiar tone when you talk about God. Above all do not expect the child to be an old Christian. It is not like a grown-up in anything else, why should it be in its Christianity? A Christian is one who has begun to love what is good, and expects to become good with God's help. A child will have to struggle with the bad as we all do, and we must not expect him to be perfect. Perfection lies at the end of the journey, not at the beginning. A child shows his feelings without disguise. You may be just as unchristian inside. If a child loses his temper, do not tell him that he is not a Christian, but be patient with �10 THE FRIEND him. Judge a child toward religion as vuii would with reference to anything else. Teaching. Some definite teaching is always necessary, though your own faithful Christian life will do most; if you make your life pray as well as your words. Teach the child to feel a love for God, dependence upon him, and sorrow for any wrong done because it grieves him. Do not try to give children grown-up teaching. Definite doctrines or beliefs belong to a later period. But let them know that all do wrong, though God is displeased with wrong in deed or thought; that so we need a new disposition toward the right, and that Jesus came to give it to us; that when we are sorry for wrong he loves to forgive us, and that when \\ c are weak and tempted he will hear our prayer and help us, and by bis Holy Spirit give us strength. And remember (Mk. 10:14) that Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not; for to such belufigeth the kingdom of God." Praise all good, and make wrong hateful. Yet I would emphasize again the necessity of living Christ more than you preach him. Keep children in an atmosphere which expects them to be religious. It is too often true that those who most carefully and tenderly provide for all the physical wants of their children and even sacrifice much for their good, leave all care of their souls to chance outside influences. Yet you are as responsible for this as for their intellectual education. It is not enough to bring them up to be good. Who can keep good, if he has not an experience of the love and care of God, his Father? It is nonsense to wait until a child can understand the whole of Christianity. Who of us docs understand the whole of Christianity? I do not. Thank God, it is not necessary to be understood by any one, and the life of loving service, which Jesus showed us was the life of God. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life." The life of this world is so complex that not one of us can live by himself. Every one exerts a personal influence on every one else with whom he comes in contact, greatest of course in the home where contact is closest. It is not at all necessary to plan to exert a bad influence in order to do so. So the greatest care should be taken to exert a Christian influence, where influence is strongest and on those for whom we are most responsible. I'Nh'AVOKAIII.K I lo.MI'.S. 1 have had parents who were continually living a life of sin before their children ask to have a child baptized. What does this mean? It means that such parents desire a Christian character for their children without the trouble of giving it to them themselves. They forget that those parents who present their infant children for baytism, are supposed to pledge themselves to train these children to understand its meaning. Such parents send their children to Sunday School for the same reason, but except for the grace of God what a small chance the Sunday School would have when there is no backing in the home. All children need constant encouragement, not only to attend the Sunday School regularly, but to study the lesson, with Bible and Quarterly study it with them. It is a tine opportunity for religious talk and discussion. You are responsible for your children, not the Sunday School. The Sunday School helps the home. If occasionally it gives character to your child in spite of your life, thank God, but do not trust to that again. I am out of patience when 1 hear people speaking of Sunday School children who have gone bad, as though the Sunday School had not done its duty. 1 tell you the trouble is in the home, nine times out of ten ; and 1 will say the same also when it is a supposedly Christian home. Not that the home can be perfect, but it should be understood that this is the aim and that there can be progress. If your child goes wrong investigate your own Christian character, and the life of your home. Is it all it ought to be, even if there is not any real vice? Truth is not taught, so much as lived. Your example is going to he taken as an explanation of the truth, whether you like it or not. Favorable Homes, yourselves. Rejoice with all your house, because you believe in God, as did so many in the early days of the Christian church, and Christianity will become such a force in the land as we have scarcely dreamed of. They have power, to whom we may say, (2nd T. 3:14-15) as was said to Timothy, "Abide thou in the things which thou hast learned ami hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou has learned them; and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in (2nd T. 1:5) Christ Jesus." 'Having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded, in thee It, so. HOME < lITOKTfNITV. What then is the home to do? Everything! Just leave the Sunday School to supplement the home. Everyone Will grant that a parent's influence is the strongest influence that can be brought to bear upon another, and that it is exerted at just the time when influence is most powerful. To illustrate this; 1 presume you have heard of the two lit- tle boys overheard talking together. ()ne of them made a certain statement which the other one showed could not well be true. "Well," said the first boy, "My mother said so, and if my mother said so, 'tis so, if 'taint so."

Not that the number of Clubs has been increased but the life of the Clubs previously formed has been strengthened. Many new members have been added. 'The Kauluwela Clubs are especially vigorous at the present time. 'The new swimming pool, connected with the Hoys' Field, is no doubt partially responsible for this renewed life. The Kalihi Club under the leadership of Mr. Snodgrass is becoming more and more popular with the boys of this section of the city. This Club ought to be one of the strongest of tincity, as there are scores of boys within easy access. No Junior Club has mote "esprit dc corps" than the Kamehameha Preparatory boys. During the summer months this Club was disorganized, owing to vacation, and consequently could not hold their baseball team together. Hut they are now ready for Club work, and are busily engaged in practice for the coming Track Meet and the Indoor Bascabll games. He-cause of the adverse decision by the Clubs' Management, giving the Baseball championship to the Excelsiors—the Japanese Hoarding School— the Palama Seniors were inclined to he a little tardy in reporting for the new year's work. However, Mr.Rath has succeeded in getting most of the disgruntled ones into line again. These boys are learning the very important truth that it is not so much the victorywon, as how it is won. Playing boys over age is becoming a serious offence in Honolulu boydom. Mr. Robert Anderson, the champion cricketer of the city, is helping manage the Palama Juniors. Our Clubs arclooking for more just such men. The Kauluwela boys are transforming the room above the swimming pool into a gymnasium. 'They are putting in a horizontal bar, ladders and a punching bag. The flying trapeze and the spring board over the water, is popular beyond expectation. The boys are here learning to handle themselves in a way they could not learn else- where. In turning a somersault over the water there is no law of nature that demands lighting on the feet. Other methods of meeting the water are allowable. The Hate Aloha—the Kauluwela Coffee House, is largely patronised by our Club boys. They find it open six nights in the week with bright lights, attractive tables and good games. There can be no doubt of the expulsive power of such places to drive out the baneful influence of the saloon. Tlu- Kauluwela teams enjoy the close proximity to the Boys' Field, And they improve their opportunities. In the Field Meet lo be held Nov. 4th. these Clubs will be among the leaders. The Hoys' Field was never looking prettier. The large oval is completely grassed over now and it makes the finest play ground in the city. The grass grows so fast that the Management has ordered a horse mower from the States. The track will now receive more attention. ( )ur Field Day this year happens to fall upon Arbor Day. This fact will be taken advantage of and the different Clubs will plant trees along the mauka side of the field. These trees will not only beautify the place, but will act as a wind brake. Indoor Baseball has so enthused both the Junior and Senior Kawaiahao Clubs, that under the efficient managership of Messrs. Hemenway and Thayer and Messrs. DutOt and Rob bins, they have taken on new life. They are making the best of the Kawaiahao Church basement until a more suitable Club room can be found. 'The Excelsior Club, having no proper room for indoor games of its own, is practicing one night in the week at Palama Chapel. A series of Indoor Baseball games has been arranged. The Juniors play two games every alternate 'Tuesday night, while the Seniors play alternate 'Thursday nights. There are four contesting teams in each series. CENTRAL UNION CHURCH NOTES. Rev. E. B. Turner A letter from Dr. Kincaid announces his safe arrival in San Francisco after a very rough trip on the Alameda during two days of which he never left his berth. He immediately departed for Seattle intending to spend one day at the Portland Fair. He travelled East over the Canadian Pacific. He expected to meet Mrs. Kincaid and his daughter Anna at Williamstown, where his son Douglas is a sophomore in Williams' College. After ten days amid the beauties of the Berkshire Hills, the family would proceed to Groton, Conn. Dr. Kincaid has been asked to preach on Oct. 22nd in the Elliot Church at .Newton, Mass. He and his family are expected in Honolulu the twenty-first of November on the S. S. "Mongolia." During Dr. Kincaid's absence. Dr. Daniel Shcpardson is very ably filling the pulpit of Central Union Church. Dr. Shcpardson's sermons'are simple, persuasive and strictly gospel, His Wednesday evening Prayer Meeting expository talks on Paul's Prison Letters are very helpful. On Oct, 2nd, Dr. Shcpardson addressed the Ministerial Union on the subject. "Present Religious Conditions in the United States." He gave four elements of power in the minister of today: (1) Prayer. (2) Personal Work. (3) Knowledge of the Bible. (4) An Inspired Life. Dr. Shcpardson has consented to address the Ministerial Union again on the subject of "Bible Study." A reception was held for Dr. and Mrs. Shcpardson on Thursday evening, Oct. K)th in the lecture room of the Church. A large number gathered to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Shcpardson and to listen to an interesting program of music and reading. On Oct. the 23rd, Dr. Shcpardson began an afternoon series of BibleReadings on the Epistle to the Hebrews. Christian workers of all denominations were invited. 'The Bible 'Training Normal Class is proving a great help to Sunday School teachers and other Bible students of the city. It meets every Monday night at 7:30 in Central Union Church parlor. It is under the efficient leadership of Mr. W. L. Clark. The department of Child Nature Study is also in the hands of experienced teachers —i. c. The Misses Lawrence, Cross and Fclker, Mrs. Livingston and Messrs. Home and Griffiths. It is felt that a successful Sunday School teacher must umkrstand Child Nature as well as his Bible. The text book used by the class is Hulburt's Normal Lessons. The Training Class for the young, which meets Friday afternoons at three o'clock, is about to take up the study of the Parables of the Bible. The gaps in our Bible School Teaching Force are gradually being filled in. Our teacher problem is a serious one. �THE FRIEND 12 Many of the Honolulu scholars are so migratory that they re(fuire an especial amount of looking up.

EMERSON TABLET BY ST. GAUDENS. An interesting memorial service was held last Sunday at the Waialua Church. The occasion was the unveiling of the bronze tablet which has been placed on a boulder lying on the Emerson burial lot near the churchyard. A good congregation of both Hawaiians and foreigners resident in the district was present, together with the members of the Emerson family. A sermon, which drew much of its illustration from the lives of Father and Mother Emerson, was preached by Rev. O. P. Emerson. After the close of the services held in the church, the congregation filed out to the grave and witnessed the unveiling of the tablet. Dr. Emerson delivered an address. Mr. Mahaulu. a deacon of the church and an old retainer of the Emerson household, made a response; the choir sang and Rev. Keliipio, the pastor, offered prayer and the simple service was over. The tablet, which is set into the face of an unhewn boulder and firmly riveted to it, and which bears in a corner of it the initials of Augustus and Louis St. Gaudens as its designers, tells the parentage, birth and death of Rev. John S. and Ursula Sophia Newell Emerson, and the fact that the Waialua Mission was established by them, and that there, from the year 1832 till the end, with a brief absence of four years spent at Lahainaluna Seminary, they lived and labored for their beloved Hawaiian people.—P. C. Advertiser, ()ct. 10. Father and Mother Emerson were eminent for stability of character and purpose, added to many other attractive virtues, as was evinced by their long continuous service at one station, where Mrs. Emerson lived for 52 years. It was well that four sons were able to gather around the graves, seventeen years after the Mother's decease. The designer of the bronze tablet is , brother-in-law to Rev O P Emerson ... and of great eminence as an American sculptor. The present writer well remembers the arrival of those then young missionaries in 1832, and their gathering, nineteen in number, in the parlor of the old Bingham house still standing on King street. There have been greatly honored names among them and among their children. S. E. B. EVOLUTION—RACIAL HABITUDINAL. By Rev. John T. AND Gulick. Published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, August, 1905. The author sends to The Friend this closely printed volume of 281 pages. It merits especial notice, both on account of the scientific eminence already secured by Doctor Gulick, and because the facts and conditions upon which his treatise is based were observed and collected by him in early life, before he had ever left his native country, Hawaii. Eighty-six pages of the book are occupied by preliminary publications upon the same subject, mainly three issued by the Linnean Society in 1872, 1887, and 1889. These gained for Dr. Gulick a leading position among writers upon Evolution, with especial recognition by Wallace and Romanes. This book contains three exquisitely colored plates of the land shells known as Achatinellidtp, with a map of the numerous parallel valleys of Oahu which were carefully explored by the youthful John Gulick more than fifty years ago, each species being assigned to its respective valley, where its isolation developed its peculiar characteristics, although the environments remained identical in all the valleys. Doubtless no other so perfect an opportunity for the study of such peculiar conditions of evolution of species is afforded elsewhere on the globe. It was improved by the young Gulick with marvelous intelligence and assiduity, and has formed the basis of subsequent life-study of the laws of Organic Evolution. This study was enlarged by thorough exploration and comparison of the numerous publications since Darwin upon the science of Evolution. With the peculiar light derived from these Oahu valleys, the author develops and demonstrates especial laws governing the Evolution of Species, which widely modify, and even subvert those presented by the earlier apostles of this science, and which especially contravene certain radical conclusions of Herbert Spencer and others, who make Environment the sole arbiter of results. These observations upon the bookare made after a most hasty and imperfect dip into the great profundities and complexities of the volume which, however, is lucid and almost fascinating in style. It also evinces wide and exhaustive erudition in the whole literature of the subject, as well as acute discrimination in the use of a very complicated terminology. We have no hesitation in predicting for Doctor John T. Gulick the highest rank among writers upon this great and important branch of science. We are not the less inclined thereto for that he is a son of Hawaii, and has been a devoted pioneer missionary in Mongolia, and of later service in Japan. S. E. B. HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. The Hilo Boarding School opened in September in the new building. So much interest and enthusiasm have been felt in the construction of this new school, that the opening day found most of the old boys and many new ones on the ground, eager to begin work. The class rooms are on the first floor. They are so convenient and cool that they are an incentive to good work. And while we are having much rainy weather, it is a comfort to know that the boys are passing under cover from class to class. The second floor is devoted to dormitory purposes. There are forty individual rooms. These are occupied by the older boys. Among these there are but three empty rooms. The only furniture provided is an iron bed and a mattress. It is interesting to observe the individuality and good judgment displayed in beautifying these rooms. Many of the boys have made for themselves tables, book shelves, writing desks and stools. Added to these neat curtains and a few pictures have made very home-like rooms. We have one dormitory for the small boys—this is a large airy room in the main part of the building. The three rows of lockers divide it into apparently four rooms. There are still a number of empty spaces in the dormitory which we hope to see filled before very long. The first and second floors are con- �THE FRIEND sidered finished and in order—excepting that two of the class rooms are temporarily and very meagrely furnished. The work in the basement is still in progress. This will necessarily take some time to finish as the school boys are doing this work out of school hours. All the most needed basement rooms are already completed and in use. These arc the dining room, the kitchen and sewing room, and the store rooms, the two rooms for the wood work department, the dispensary and the lavatory. The entire basement floor is to be of concrete and this is growing gradually. We have bought no new furnishings, but the old furniture, cleaned and varnished really looks very well. The only trouble is we have not enough. Hut this want must wait till the building is paid for. Unfortunately, there still remains a debt of between five and six thousand dollars, on the building. We pray for donations to clear the debt. In the mean time we shall not idly wait for blessings to fall into our hands. While the regular school work goes on as usual, plans are progressing to entertain the public with a fair and luau on Thanksgiving Day. Rev. S. L. Desha and Mrs. Julius Richardson have this in charge. We would say at this time to those who have not felt able to contribute heretofore in large sums that there is now an opportunity to assist either by contributing toward the fair and luau or by donating sums of money according as your ability or inclination may suggest. L. C. LYMAN, Principal. Several others are expecting to join soon. The Mcßryde Sugar Co. employees are organizing a local library and the first order for books has gone forward. Mr. J. M. Lydgate has the matter in hand. The Hanapepe Sunday School has been much strengthened and enlarged because of the interest and aid given by the public school teachers at that place. The same is more or less true of other Sunday Schools on the Island. Judge J. H. Kahele of Nawiliwili, a Hawaiian of rare wisdom and high character, is seriously ill. He carries the sympathy of a wide circle of friends and well wishers. Hawaiian pastors condemning the new liquor law say that we will never get righteous laws till the ministers go to Legislature ! Pela paha ! The semi-annual session of the Kauai Association was held at Lihue, Oct. 18-19, ar, d was regarded as one of the most important in many years. Among other matters attention was called to the great increase in licensed saloons under the new law. Seven being reported from the district of Hanalei which has a smaller population than any district on the Island. Rev. J. M. Lydgate said that he had given some attention to the matter and found that many of the names on the petitions for iicenses were those of church members, and in some cases even of deacons. This was at once a deplorable and disgraceful condition of things. These saloons were agencies of the Devil and no man making any pretense to Christianity should for a moment concur in the nefarious business. Mr. W. H. Rice and others heartily approved of this position and a resolution was passed emphatically conThere is a widespread and growing demning the new liquor law, and in- NOTES FROM KAUAI. intensity of feeling on Kauai against the new liquor law and the way it is working, coupled with the growing conviction that licenses are being granted with an off-hand readiness which would indicate an interest on the part of the Territorial Government in granting them. At the "Ministers' School" recently a course of study was initiated on the more important teaching of Christ, beginning with "The Kingdom of God." It was enjoyed by the ministers as a specially interesting and valuable session. The Koloa Union Church under Rev. J. M. Lydgate received four new members on Sept. 17 on confession of faith. structing the individual churches and their members to be active and alert in limiting the number of saloons and enjoining church members from signing petitions for licenses. In response to the question as to whether or not drunkenness had increased under the new law, there was no uncertain response. The small hole in the barrel had injured the community, the larger one was flooding it with evil. A grave question of discipline came up before the Association ; charges of a very serious nature involving drunkenness and an attempt to commit a heinous crime were preferred against the Delegate from Hanalei. The matter 13 Dr. Shepherdson in a recent lecture said, and most reverent bible scholars agree with him— that the American Revised Bible is the best. Such evangelists as G Campbell Morgan use it and it recommend it. It is claimed that it is nearer to the original meaning and nearer to present English usage. If so, we ought to use it. The Hawaiian Board Book Rooms are ordering a variety of these bibles. When you get your Sunday School Supplies, from whom do you get them ? Perhaps you did not know that we order extensively and keep a good line of samples. Dintinctively C hristian books are not found in many places in Honolulu. We keep some and keep the catalogues of most of the publishers. " Why do we do this order business ?" Why, to serve the Christian public, and to help pay our heavy office expenses as well. Warrant enougn! A good modern Song book has come to us, the "New Century," containing many of the good old hymns and a good selection of usable new ones. We can put it into Sunday Schools for 29c. a sized orders. piece in HAWAIIAN BOARD BOOK ROOMS, 400 Boston Building. �THE FRIEND 14 was referred to a committee, which found that the charges were well sustained by abundant evidence, and were finally confirmed by confession of the delegate himself. He was promptly suspended from the Association. Careful inquiry revealed the fact that the Hanalei church was ignorant of his moral lapses at the time of his election, but his general reputation is such as to render him an unsuitable person to represent the church. A resolution was passed recommending the churches to use the utmost care in selecting suitable men as delegates. A discussion in regard to the administration of the Lord's Supper revealed the fact that there was need for more liberal views to meet new conditions. Many of the, members of the Association' considered it as an unwarranted in novation and a departure from the faith of the fathers to include "members of other evangelical churches in good standing" in the invitation to participate in the sacrament. A committee appointed for the purpose examined into the matter of church deacons 011 Kauai, and appointed to each church a number suitable to its needs, the deacons when elected to serve for a limited term. 'The pastors of Kauai were also appointed a committee to visit the churches, supervise the election and installation of these deacons. It is hoped that a complete new deal will removemuch dead and doubtful not to say injurious material, and give the churches more confidence in their officers. \ special feature of the session was body the visit of the Association in a Mother. Missionary veteran to the Mrs. M. S. Rice, extending to her their congratulations and good wishes on attaining her B<;th birthday. The meeting of the Association was followed by the "Minister's School" under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate. The time was devoted to serine 11 outline criticism. 'The Sunday School and Young People's Associations met at the same time and place and developed a good deal of interest in their respective lines. J. M. LYDGATE. HAWAIIAN MISSION SOCIETY. CHILDREN'S A mighty wave may sweep the deck of a ship at sea, and carry a man out into the seething water, and a return bring him to the deck, unhurt. ; do not look for waves to do this d of thing regularly; in fact, we nd in awe at such an occurrence, Ive and say: The finger of God is in it! Something like this feeling has been caused by the recovery of two missionary families, who, in the mighty swings of two generations ago were launched forth from our missionary ship. Not lost, but only parted company ; and we, at least, were in a fair way to forget everything about them. Our first recovery was that of the Van Duzee family, and it came about through some kind of a notice inserted in a Buffalo paper by Mrs. R. G. Moore of this city, then visiting in Buffalo, which caught the eye of Miss (irace G. Van Duzee, and resulted in a little four-page note from her to the Society. What we already knew (for it was on record here) was that Mr. and Mrs. Van Duzee came out with the great reinforcement of 1837. and were as signed very soon to the Kaawaloa station as teachers, and returned to the States, with their children, in 1840. Now we know- that he was called doctor, though he did not bear that titlewhile here. Perhaps he proved himself a kahuna lapaau to the Seneca Indians, among whom he labored on the Buffalo reservation but we need not suppose that he wore his honors without studying for them. We used to : credit the family with five children ; but now we know that there were ten children, though only seven grew to maturity, and six are now living. Let me (piote : "Gyrene O. was a missionary for 16 years in Eastern Turkey, and 14 y ars in Persia. She has been living in Lancaster. X. V.. but expects to reside in Gouverneur, St. Lawrence Co., X. Y.. after the middle of September, ( 1905). Mary K. is a missionary at I'rumia, Persia, and has been for Jfi years. 'Theodore A. is a physician, but is engaged in clothing business, in Brookhave lyn. V Y. Grace G. is myself. a home at Orchard Park, (Erie Co., N. V.), but am undecided how long I shall remain on account of unpleasant neighbors. Flora F. married, but died in 1801. Stella lives with Gyrene. Lillian A. married Mr. George C. Kidder, and lives on a farm near Jamestown. X. Y. Our mother died in 1891. "I am going. I expect, to visit my sisters this week, and will take your request to my sister Cyrene, and when she is settled she may write you. I shall remain if good neighbors take the houses near me. It is a pretty little town, and I have good friends here, both in the church and out of it. My sister Stella and myself are both partial invalids—spinal disease. She is terribly deformed by it. Mine is trou- I ble with the cord; only slight curvature. The others are fairly well. "I do not know whether this is all the information ; if not, my sisters or myself will be glad to write you in an- swer to questions." We are glad to have even the corner of the curtain lifted, that we may see such a family and we sympathize in ; their mutual love and in their pilikias, even to disagreeable neighbors. 'The other return comes in the shape of a record blank, filled out by Prof. William Fi«k Brewer, of the Montana Agricultural College ; address, 720 3rd Aye. South, Bozeman, Mont. He represents the vigorous Brewer branch of the honored Richards tree, all six representatives of which have taken root in the new west. His younger brother, Albert I). Brewer, M. D„ is in Belgrade, Montana; and of his sisters, Helen R. Brewer lives in Bozeman, Mont.; Mary E. Brewer in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; (irace L. Brewer in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Mrs. Lucy B. Porter in Hastings, lowa. Prof. Brewer married Mabel G. Booth; they have four children, all girls, the oldest born in 1896. His own birth in Chapel Hill, X. C, when his father was professor in the University of North Carolina, marks one of the migrations of his father's family, which were always from one seat of learning to another. Prof. Brewer also tells of three of his own cousins whom we have not heretofore known—AliceMary Williston, (Mrs.) Helen Richards Williston Colton, and Prof. Samuel Williston, of the Harvard Law School. The daughters and their mother. Mrs. Annie Gale Williston, live at 15 Berkeley St.. Cambridge, Mass., and it is not a violent supposition that the son lives with the family. The deceased father, Levi Lyman Richards Williston, who received his last name in adoption, at an early age, was the fifth child of Rev. William Richards, the missionary. The very envelope that Prof. Brewer uses for his letter is ablaze with the aggressiveness of the young state. Five pictures illustrating Bozeman cover half the face, and four panels of reading matter the whole of the back; Gallatin Valley is proclaimed as the Egypt of America, and backs it up by a statement of. the great yield per acre of the main farm products; and much is said of the good things which a progressive city of 7000 people, a railroad distributing center, offers to all comers. This may seem a very attenuated thread by which to connect Bozeman with this tropic city; but the world is �THE FRIEND bound together by threads, and this particular one is the fact that a dozen people here knew Julia Maria Richards —the late Mrs. Prof. Brewer—as a companion and schoolmate. 'The daily walk to Punahou. dusty, prickery, treeless, sun-in-the-face both ways, was yet a social education. 'The Honolulu children gathered at the mission, but the clans separated at Castle's gate. 'The Star-bolians under W. X. Armstrong, largely boys and barefooted at that, took Up a follow-my-leader chase of the most erratic nature, sometimes even into the mysterious gorge of Punchbowl. Xone dared to drop out. 'The disgrace would have been too much. 'The lesser party, mostly girls but always with a sufficient escort of boys, chose to cultivate their brains rather than their muscle, and retain breath enough for speech: and they took a pretty straight course for Punahou gate, walking steadily. Always among these were Helen and Julia Maria Richards: and this continued until 184(1. when they went to the States with their mother. R. W. A.

The sympathy of the people was heartily extended to Mrs. Shcpardson, and all available aid was rendered to her in her hour of sore trial. The Central Union Church bore all the expenses of the funeral and aided in other directions to the total extent of several hundred dollars. This fact in itself shows the high esteem which the community bad for Dr. Shcphardson. The Friend is very glad to see that tiile will put it in the lion. Fred.

Ihe plan as mentioned deserved the condemnation of every old- time Republican who has known what sturdy principles the party has carried through and successfully incorporated in tin development of the United States. The Friend has, however, no desire to condemn any one wrongfully, and will always he glad lo rectify any mistake in that line.

I'he Friend is heart ily glad lo know that Mr. Waterhouse is pledging himself lo work against the corrupt elements which abound in politics. Increase in Saloons The saloon question is becoming more lerinus in the Hawaiian Islands than many of our citizens realize. The last Legislature made it very easy for any one to obtain some kind of a license. As a result ihe number of saloons has increased enormously.

For nearly two years past lllis subject has been more or less prominently before our Honolulu public. < >f late it has been brought more fully into notice by the recent active crusade of the Advertiser against such complicity. Our long acquaintance with public elements in Honolulu convinces us that the morning paper has been doing a greatly needed work, most honestly and with true public Spirit, as well as ably and efficiently. We deeply regret to believe that such men as head our police force should be in such dishonorable complicity with that cruel and destructive vice of gambling, but the developed evidence of that fact seems too abundant and strong to be doubted. < >ur police evidently follow the fashion of their brethren in most other cities, and count it only regular and proper "business" to trade on the gambler's robbery and his customers. We therefore believe il lo be the urgent duty of every good and public-spirited citizen to side in this warfare with the Advertiser and all other enemies of this vice. Gambling is far from being the least injurious and destructive lo morals of the three leading forms of ruinous vice which prevail in civilized countries, the other two being drunkenness and lewdness. It has never proved possible entirely to suppress any of these three forms of destructive vice. Police activity, if earnestly and honestly exerted under wholesome and efficient laws, goes very far greatly to repress them, although the third named vice oilers the greatest resistance in cities and especially in seaports, where large numbers of detached men congregate with natural appetites unbridled and intensely craving. It is not therefore strange that most governments aim rather to repress such vice by regulation than by attempted suppression, however loathsome and shameful the evil. but gambling presents no such plausible plea for the complicity of the public authority. It appeals to no imperative physical craving. Men can easily forego Us exciting gratifications. The main incitement lo u is in the minds of its promoters, who plan systematically to rob their deceived victims. There is no excuse for not thoroughly and sternly sup pressing the practice, together with every other form of plundering and thievery, for the police to tolerate it, as is commonly done in all cities, has no plausible excuse. It is an unmitigated fellowship with crime. It is an intolerable public shame and civic disgrace that our police should traffic in this systematized robbery, as we are led to jielievc that they actually do. Gambling i8 in some respects the most destructive of the glial trio of vices. It breaks up the roots of successful and prosperous living. It subverts both the spirit of patient industry and that of No gambler can Inhonest integrity. task, or to guard with to fulfil his trusted fidelity any money in his reach. The springs of steady application and ol rigid integrity are fatally sapped in the youth who gambles, and the prudent employer will have none of him. Dc is a moral wreck. Young men who are led into the clutches of the gambler may nol become physically wrecked as much as by the sister vices; but mentally and morally their ruin is apt to become more complete and hopeless. A woman who marries a gambler is apt to confront even more irredeemable ruin than the wife of a sol or of a man of former impure life. Yet il is such wrecks that our police are systematically lending themselves to create 'I'he gambler's resort or "hell" pre scuts a peculiar temptation to the police in its greater facility for secrecy than the other two vices. Vet, as ihe Adver tiser has clearly shown, any active effort lo discover them and lo secure evidence for conviction, readily succeeds. We are confirmed in the belief thai Governor (artel's securing of evidence id" police complicity through an imported dc tcctive was a genuinely effective piece ol work, although the Hatter report was necessarily such as could not be pub lished, since a multitude of iis aspersions upon individuals could not he supported adequate evidence. by hie cannot undertake to saj just what and how much pressure can or should he applied to our police department to do their clear duty in this mailer, and to abandon their evidently lucrative system of protecting ihe gambling dens. At any rate all good citizens should coinbine to unite in a powerful locus, the scorching rays of our moral abhorrence upon every police miscreant who persists in lllis evil work. S. E. b.

We all feel that it will be an experiment and many prophesy that it will be a failure." The Plan. "'fhe Plan is to take the children from their parents and bring them up in a regular way.

We fear also that the elder children have become so fairly initiated in all that is vicious that it will be difficult to reclaim them. We have commenced having school with some of them, six. They appear very lively and fond of play and we hope they will ere long be lively at their books. We expect to teach them in English and should be exceedingly pleased lo get at a book store and select some interesting books for them. As we expected to leach only in the native language we did not come supplied with good children's English books.

There are 119 member, of the church-an increase of 22 during the year of Mr. Kopa's service. 1 If this number _'1 have been baptized by him. both Mr. and Mrs. Kopa have thrown themselves into the life of the church. Ihev are constantly making house to house visits and are gradually bringing back the old members who bad become alienated for one reason or another. 'I'he old Kaipuhaa Church has been revived, and it lias now united its forces with those of the lole Church. Once a month Mr. Kopa holds a service at the Kaipuhaa Church, which is six miles The ' from lole. There are also four meeting houses in different parts of the district where Mr. Kopa holds regular services alternate weeks. These chapels are all branches of the lole Church. 'I'he church also supports four Chris ban Endeavor Societies in different secMOSES KKKI'AIWA. tions of the community.

I 13 Dr. Shepherdson in a recent lecture said, and most reverent bible scholars agree with him— that the American Revised Bible is the best. Such evangelists as G. Campbell Morgan use it and it recommend it. It is claimed that it is nearer to the original meaning and nearer to present English usage. If so, we ought to use it. The Hawaiian Board Book Rooms are ordering a variety of these bibles. When you get your Sunday School Supplies, from whom do you get them ? Perhaps you did not know that we order extensively and keep a good line of samples. Dintinctively Christian books are not found in many places in Honolulu. We keep S'dne and keep the catalogues of most of the publishers. " Why do we do this order business ?" Why, to serve the Christian public, and to help pay our heavy office expenses as well. Warrant enougn! A good modern Song book has come tous, the " New Century," containing many of the good old hymns and a good selection of usable new ones. We can put it into Sunday Schools for 29c. a piece in good sized orders.

Since its formation last April, $116 has been raised and is ROW in the hands of the treasurer. It's officers are: I'resident—Mrs. Kopa. Vice-President—Mia. S. 11. K. \'e. Secretary—Miss Bella Timoteo. Treasurer—Mrs. W. P. McDougall. A material improvement nearly always follows a genuine spiritual uplift. The church building has heen thoroughly renovated and the entire interior has been freshly painted. To carry out this much needed work, over $2<x) was raised by subscription and by concerts. A fine new organ was also purchased, for which $108 was raised. Mrs. W. P, McDougall has been largely responsible for these improvements. Her energy and devotion in raising funds would brook no failure. It is a cause of thanksgiving for many of us, that the old lole Church built fifty years ago by bather bond, is in tins prosperous condition, 'file memory of its founder is vel fragrant in the lives and hearts of main of the dear Kohala b.. b.

They will make their home in the Hohron collage on Nuuanu aveUue. Dr. Kincaid returns in good health, ready lo throw his best energy into the life of ihe Church. Dr. Shepardson closed his two months ministry in Honolulu on Sunday. Nov. lOth. It was only by sheer grit and by the graces of Cod that Dr. Shepardson was able to hold out until the return of the pastor. During the last two wicks he gave his very life's blood to meet his appointments. During his thirteen or more years of exceptionally busy service, Dr. Shepardson has never before been compelled to cancel a single engagement. A remarkable tribute to Cod's keeping power of them that love Dim! Ibid Dr. Shepardson given up some weeks sooner than he did. he would not be reduced to such weakness today. However, there is no one who does not admire his strong spirit and his uncomplaining cheerfulness in the stress of pain and weakness. Through the utter giving of self to her husband, Mrs. Shepardson is also greatly in need of rest and of quietfulness. Rarely, if ever, has a supply ministry here been so universally helpful as has been Dr. Shepardson. There is no one who has attended his services, and the church has nearly always been filled, who has not been spiritually bellied. There is only one reason for this: Dr. Shephardsou knows his bible and preaches it. It is very encouraging to see how hungry the people are for the bread of Life. Ihe course of afternoon expository lectures on the book of Hebrews has been most helpful and inspiring to a The interest irge number of people. was sustained throughout the entire course. Many from all denominations availed themselves of the privilege of hearing the Word of Cod opened Up by one who understood it. 'fhe fact ihat the book of Hebrews was written to Christian Jews who were in danger of apostacy, threw a Hood of light upon 1 many difficult passages. 'file free-will offering of the many who heard these lectures and who enjoyed the stereopticon lecture on "bight from the Monuments." was a very generous one. and was greatly appreciated by Dr. and Mrs. Shepardson. Owing to Dr. Shepardson's critical condition the stereopticon lecture on "From Xew York to Alaska in a Wheel I'hair," which was to have been given November 24th, at bishop Hall, Oahu College, has been indefinitely postponed. 'I'he plan of Systematic Giving which has worked so well this past year in our Bible School, will be continued for another year. The envelopes have been ordered from Philadelphia and have already been shipped. Il has seemed advisable to transfer Ihe training class which the past year has been meeting in the ladies' parlors, to the Preparatory School at Punahou. Every member of ihe class but one is attending the Preparatory and ii is easier and surer lo take ihe class to them than to bring them to the class. fifteen or more hoys and girls are now studying "'fhe Parables of the Bible."

At the ( Ictdhcr meeting of the Kauai Association a committee consisting of the ministers of the island was chosen to confer vvilh the various churches and urge the reorganization of the boards of I leacons, with a view to raising the standards for this important office. This committee has begun its work visiting and conferring with the churches of Waimea and Hanapepe, which have the mailer under consideration. They will in like manner visit the other churches of the island. They are issuing to each church the by following letter: To the (ireeling : Church, Whereas the Hawaiian churches of the Island of Kauai have now a very much smaller membership than they had in the days of the Missionary fathers, and do not therefore need so large a Board of Deacons; And Whereas il is of the highest importance to the moral and spiritual well-being of the church and community that these Deacons should be men of exemplary life and character. And Whereas it is more or less difficult to find men of this kind suitable for the position. And Whereas it is common knowledge, and a source of shame and weakness, that some of the Deacons in sonic of our churches are notoriously unfit for the position because of grievous blemishes of life and character, Now. therefore, the Island Association, through its committee, elected to confer with the churches in this matter, respectfully suggests that the �15 THE FRIEND church consider the reor- ganization of its Beard of Deacons with a view to reducing the same to a number commensurate with the present needs of the church and more especially to placing in this position men of the highest integrity and honor; men of sobriety and clean lives, who shall lead the people in the things that make for peace and righteousness. And farther suggests that such Deacons be elected in classes or sections, whose term of n\Y\er shall be one, two and three years respectively, according lo fitness and character.

Principal Levi Lyman is to be congratulated upon the success of the luau, fair and concert which were given in Hilo on Thanksgiving Day for the benefit of the Hoys' School. The struggle to put up a new and latge school building and move and renew the old buildings at the lowest possible expense, has been patiently undertaken and successfully carried through. Every possible method of economy has been employed, and the work done at about half the expense estimated by the architect. What was saved in money was expended in brain force, and careful employment of the boys studying in the school. The fair netted over one thousand four hundred dollars, but a debt still rests upon the school of about twenty-five hundred dollars. An excellent opportunity for the people of these Islands to make a paying investment of a part ot this money, is found in helping to pay off that debt. One Hundred Years.

The Mol-o-kans, the refugees from Russia, who have recently come to California and are looking for a permanent home, have offered $30,000 for a tract of land on the Island of Kauai. They are only waiting for contracts to be made with Mr. Spalding, the chief owner of a neighboring sugar plantation, for raising cane and furnishing it for grinding to Mr. Spalding's sugar mill. If a suitable and equitable contract can be made the Islands will probably secure this desirable addition as permanent citizens. RUSSIAN REFORMS. The Advance of Chicago very tersely sums up one phase of the situation in Russia, which is often overlooked by those who are longing to see reforms ranidlv carried through in Russia: "The action taken by the peasants in their congress was sufficiently radical to be alarming. The congress voted that private ownership of land should be abolished and that the estates of the convents, the churches, the grand dukes and the czar, and the crown lands should be taken without compensation. Tt was voted that the lands of nrivate individuals be taken partly with and partly without compensation, the conditions on which the lands shall be taken to be determined by a constituent assembly. Some of the delegates were of the opinion that no land owner should be compensated. Others said this would work great hardship in some instances. All the delegates agreed that the land should be the collective property of the people. The peasants are unwilling to buy lands, even on the easy payments offered them in the Czar's recent manifesto. It is a time when they. like the rest of the Russian masses, think that anything and everything should be had for the asking. They are organizing a treneral union and the peasants are flocking into it in masses. Gonon. the nriest who made the tragic blunder last January, is alarmed. He has fled to Finland, but writes that an immediate uprising would be a blunder, that a democratic republic is impossible, and that even an eight-hour day is impracticable. He also thinks that while the peasants are for the most radical reforms, yet they cline to the idea of a czar and would probably support him in a clash with the workingmen." CHINESE PRAYER SUBJECTS.

Ever since the commencement of the Methodist Church work in these Islands it has been under the charge of a bishop, but a personal and official visit of the one in charge has not been made before the coming of Bishop Hamilton, who is now organizing the churches of the various nationalities under his care into a conference. He has received a warm welcome from other denominations, and especially from the Hawaiian Board of Missions. President Jones appointed a committee consisting of Revs. Bishop, Bingham and Gulick, who, with him, visited the con- ference. The following request comes from the Rev. Dr. Bishop voiced the welcome workers, both Chinese and of the Hawaiian Board in substance as ricans, and illustrates the fine spirit follows: which they are doing all in their "Bishop Hamilton and Brethren of this x for the Chinese in this Territory: Conference; Kese "We come to present to you the heartiest Christian and fraternal greetings of the Hawaiian Board, which is the Executive Missionary Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Our Association embraces the whole body of the Congregational Churches in these Hawaiian Islands, originally organized by our Fathers of the early Protestant Mission, and now comprising churches speaking the Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese tongues. Those fathers have long since departed this life. But we can in their name and in the name of the churches they founded, assure you of our heartiest and most fraternally loving regards. We welcome you as our strong and honored coadjutors in our Lord's great work of conquest and salvation of men in this foremost outpost of American Christianity in this mid-Pacific, this great headlight now for eighty-five years facing toward the teeming millions of the Orient, now by steamer and cable brought so close to the American shores. We do indeed need your strong and fruitful aid in this great work, and do greatly rejoice in your vigorous presence among us. The time was when in the mother land, there was much unhappy friction between Arminians and Calvinists. Out here, such invidious theological distinctions have never made any impression. Our churches have been all one, brother regiments of Christ's great army, visibly facing and warring against Satan's embodied power. Three of this committee are veterans whose memory extends far back into early missionary days, myself the senior member of our Board, and the oldest surviving white male person born in Hawaii, and these two veteran missionaries, Mr. Gulick and Dr. Bingham but a little younger, T vividly remember, and they with me, the early part of the year 1837, when a band of Methodist missionaries, bound to the Indians of Oregon, came around Cape Horn on their way to join that veteran pioneer, Rev. Jason Lee. in the Willamet valley. At their head were a physician and his wife. There were three single ladies, on their way to join their affianced missionary husbands, who had preceded them overland. The elder of the three, a Miss Pitman, soon married Jason Lee. She spent several weeks at mv father's home near Pearl City, and left a strong impression upon my childish regard as a most winning person. But what I especially remember was the warm affection of our Missionary parents towards these visiting Methodists. They were as their own brother and sisters. There was no trace of denominational feeling on either side. All �5 THE FRIEND such sentiment, then not inactively ent in the parent land, out here absolutely disappeared in the presence of heathen darkness and degradation, and of weak and struggling Hawaiian piety, as well as of the reckless vice of our seafaring visitors. All loved one Lord and King, and were fighting against Satan for Him, One common zeal and loyalty to the same Master effaced all possible estrangement. And thus, dear Methodist Brethren, does that same condition still survive. We have ever continued one in heart with you in Christ Jesus. With all our hearts we welcome you as our prized and beloved brethren in this great work of saving souls and uplifting society in this mid-Pacific. May your labors greatly prosper. May this important reorganization of your forces be to the utmost fruitful of spiritual blessings and victorious progress. May your own souls be filled with confidence and ardor. May the Divine presence abide with you, and the Holy Spirit inspire you to great and fruitful ministrations among these commingled nationalities. That visit of the Oregon Methodist missionaries was just on the eve of the marvelous revival of 1837-8, which converted the I lawaiians as a whole people to Christ, and made them a Christian nation. You Methodists above all other Christians, believe in revivals, and seek for the descent in Power of the Holy Spirit Upon whole communities to convert and save, and Hawaii probably gave the greatest testimony since Pentecost to the truth of your characteristic belief. May that mighty and loving Power of God attend your labors here, and rest us upon all. THE OAHU AID SOCIETY. A crisis in the life of this society has been met and—we can confidently add— passed. A considerable (for it) shortage was faced at the end of 1905 and only comparatively few were the people who could be relied upon to carry the financial burden. The organizers of the present society. Missis. W. (). Smith, P. C. Jones, W. F. Frear and Theodore Richards, met and discussed the issue and decided that the society must be continued. A little account was given of the work of the Hawaiian pastors whose scant salaries were supplemented from the society's funds —one at Waianae, another at Kaneohe, and a third at Hauula, where a brave fight was being kept up against heavy odds, from a human point of view. The opinion was expressed that this sort of work should appeal to plantation interests, to which the reply was made that some help did come from certain managements. As a result of this meeting a considerable part of the need for the year was provided for by pledges; and another of Honolulu's worthy enterprises seems assured. T. R. DR. WATSON. Dr. J. E. Watson, who conducted a very helpful mission during the earlier part of this year in connection with the I'eniel people, is likely to return here about the ioth of this month. He has been holding meetings in New Zealand and Australia, particularly for the deepening of religious life among Christian people. All reports are to the effect that many have been deeply stirred in each place. His stay in Honolulu is likely to be but a brief one, and it is somewhat unfortunate that he is to be here during the week of prayer so that he might arrange daily Bible readings without conflicting with the prepared program for the week. However, his coming may be most timely. He holds many truths taken from the "word," which are not generally heard and he preaches them fearlessly to the "edification" of his hear- ers. While in Honolulu for a steamer's Stopover, he and Mrs. Watson will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Richards. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. Some steps have been taken already toward next year's festival. Representatives of the various schools interested met early in December, President Griffiths of Oahu College, in the chair, and President Home of Kamehameha, made the motion which was carried, that the event which has been known as the "Carnival of Song," he held in the Opera House, April 27. It was also ordered that the Symphony Society be asked to co-operate, and tbe management, Messrs. Richards and Castle, were requested to communicate with that society, offering terms and making necessary arrangements. Mr. Stockton of the Symphony Society, was unanimously chosen as leader, and all the institutions represented were pledged to do their part to make this season even more successful than the two previous ones. A communication was read from a notable Boston soloist in which it was intimated that her services might be available if the time were favorable. This matter was left to the joint action of a committee of former festival management and another from the Sym- phony Society, should they join in the festival. Afterwards a letter was received from the Symphony Society, by their president, Mr. Hedemann, acceding heartily to the proposition and terms made by the festival management. So docs the festival grow from year to year, bringing a sure elevation of the musical taste of our community as it makes more feasible the gratification of such taste. The exceedingly interesting feature ol the last festivals, the carnival and contest of song at the Boys' Field, is the most uncertain feature of the coming season. The public schools involved have found the work necessary a serious addition to their burdens, all agreeing, however, that the idea was meritorious and the result justifying the effort. Whether or not they can get ready for the date set is not yet determined, with the weight of probability somewhat against it. The combination of three hundred children's voices in open air was a most inspiring thing, and the picturesque effect of the costumes of the various nationalities represented added greatly to the charm and was an educational eye-opener as well. The late Kevins Armstrong, in an article in an eastern paper, commented most enthusiastically on the effect produced upon him when this body of singers united in the Star Spangled Banner and America. We feel sure that it will be thought wise to continue this notable exercise in the school corriculum. The management of the Hawaii Promotion Committee have expressed themselves as interested in an event which might be a drawing card to those intending to make a visit to Hawaii about that time. MOTHER PARKER. MRS. ANDRKWS. A great event in the history of the Ha- waiian Mission, was the celebration on Dec. 9th of the one hundredth anniversary of Mother Barker's birthday. On Nov. 7th, a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Mission Children's Society was held to arrange a program —a morning serenade, the presentation of an engrossed testimonial, a "hookupu" by the great grand-children of the mission, and on the following day, commemorative services in the churches. Committees were appointed, and the plan, with some modifications, was successfully carried out. At 8 o'clock the compliments of Governor' Carter and the Hawaiian band was tendered in a specially arranged program of music, as follows: �THE FRIEND. 6 .

"The members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association express, through us, their hearty congratulations to yourself and to your beloved household, for the kind Providence which has granted to you a life of great usefulness and happiness exceeding, perhaps, in respect to length of years and terms of service, any other missionary to a foreign field, a continuous career of over seventy-two years on mission ground that has not probably within the Christian era been exceeded. "We thank our Heavenly Father that He has kept you all these years and given to us, and to the people of these favored islands, the benediction of your instruction and your prayers, and the example of your life of Christian devotion. "We pray that the Heavenly Guide may grant you many days, and that the Angel of His Covenant may ever abide with you, leading you up the Shining Pathway until he shall usher you into the Eternal Presence.

The vices and diseases of civilization had been given to the Hawaiians before the missionaries came, and it was high time the remedial agency of civilization was brought to bear to neutralize its demoralizing influence. "To you, Mother Parker, and your fellow survivors of the missionary company who have done their work, we express our gratitude and appreciation, not only for what you have done for the Hawaiians, but also for your share in what has been accomplished for the reign of law and order in these beautiful islands, and the creation of an enlightened public sentiment favorable alike to the promotion of good morals and the protection of political and business interests; and as an earnest token of this appreciation, we desire to say to you, that it is the fixed determination of the members of the "Cousins' Society" to always, and perseveringly work for the preservation and development of the Christian civilization which you and your associates have planted and nourished here." Bishop Restarick of the Episcopal diocese of the Hawaiian Islands, was then introduced. He began his long and excellent address by saying he was deeply touched that on this occasion, the sons and daughters of missionaries of IthQ American Board of Foreign Missions should have chosen him to make the address. It was a sign of their confidence and good will and be hoped his acceptance might further the cause of Christian work and Christian unity. He said: "Let us go back. In Bradford, Conn., Dec. 9, 1805, Mary Elizabeth Barker, was born. This venerable lady is in all our hearts this evening. She was ten years of age when the battle of Waterloo was fought, which decided the fate of the nations of Europe. She was two years old when Fulton took his steamer on its trial trip from New York to Albany. She was nine years old when Stephenson ran his first locomotive on a colliery tramway. She was thirty years old when Morse sent his first telegraphic message from Baltimore to Washington. What marvelous factors these are in the progress of mankind! she sailed from Xew England great countries of Asia with their ons of people were closed to misirics of the cross. Africa was a dark inent with its fringe of slave-trading Then settlements the darkest of all. there were the blood-stained islands of KVhen the South Pacific, in one group of which she was to labor for a time. She landed in Honolulu with her husband and others in 1833, the sixth company sent by the American Board of Missions. "What was behind all this sending and being sent? It was faith in God and in the capacity of His children to respond to His love and to His revelation of himself in the person of Jesus Christ. It was the same faith which sent missionaries to our fathers, when they, a few centuries ago, were fierce savages in the forests of Germany, blood-thirsty pirates of the North Sea or tattooed barbarians of distant Britain. It was the spirit of missionary effort that has always been derided and maligned as Christ himself was. and as missionaries will always be. People don't believe in missions simply because they do not believe in Jesus Christ and the Brotherhood of Man. They forget that all they hold dear in life is due to those missionaries who were sent to their fathers, and whom the intellectual Greeks and Romans scoffed at. "There was not only faith in the missionaries, but also the spirit of sacrifice— the spirit of God. These men and women toiled on, little realizing the importance on the future of missions of the experiments which they made, little realizing that they were laying the foundations of a history which for interest, romance and pathos is fascinating to every student of human nature. "All honor to the noble women, wives of the missionaries and others, the pioneers of Christian homes from which have come strong men and pure women. Such a one is she whom we delight to honor today. And let this generation keep in mind and at heart that no wealth, no luxuries, no culture can keep society sweet and clean and men and women true and noble. ()nly faith burning in the heart can keep society from going down from indifference to degradation. "I am familiar with all that is said in the way of discouragement. But to dwell upon failures in any work will never make things better. In doing one's duty there is no failure, while to neglect duty is the only real failure in any life. Don't judge men at their worst. Don't judge nations at their worst. That is not the way God judges us. It is our plain duty to keep on working, teaching, training, leaving the results with God. Do not expect too much. It is eightyfive years since 4hat first company landed at Kailua. In the period which has elapsed since then the Hawaiian people have made greater progress in enlightenment than any other barbaric people have done in the same time. No service for God and man is ever wasted. The reforms, the progress, the liberties, the blessings which we enjoy came from men, who in losing their lives found life and gave life and light to mankind. "Little did your fathers know that they were conducting an experiment station for missions. The first industrial schools were those of Lahaina in 1831, and Hilo in 1837, and these, and the life here, were the inspiration of Hampton Institute, and later of Tuskccgce, and a dozen others. Booker T. Washington is a result of the experiment station here. ( htr work has touched the wide world. "Why could not we be an experiment station for another movement for Christian unity, the desire of which is burning in the souls of Christian people over the world. I know of no place where conditions are more favorable. We have been getting together on the great essentials of the Christian religion. We could all, probably, recite together the Apostle's Creed. We can be one in hope. We can be one in that divine charity that 'thinketh no evil but rejoiceth in the truth.' We should at least try to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace in the sight of the heathen that are around us. "I speak to Christians all. This is our Hawaii nei. If it is to be established in righteousness it will be by our hav- — ing a living faith. Indifference to truth, carelessness of the Lord's day, negligence as to the Lord's house and the Father's table, the giving of one's self wholly to business and pleasure will never keep souls in touch with the infinite. "lie faithful to the memory of your fathers and be faithful to their God, who is your God. Give your children at least the training in home and church which you had. lie fair to them. "All honor to the aged mothers in Israel who arc still with us in the flesh. All honor to the aged men here tonight. All praise to those whose work is done and who have entered into rest. Go, do your duty. pray, watch, work, build up such a social structure here that your children may rise to honor and bless you, and may God bless you now and ever." The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham. CHRISTMAS TIME IN CHINA. Rkv. !•:. W. Tiiwi.No. Christmastide has now come to be a time of joy and gladness all over the world. In every land the young people gather to rejoice on this day of the Savior's birth. Today in China, some gather in every province, to remember this day of all the year. My first visit to China was very pleas- �THE FRIEND antly connected with the Christmas time. It may interest some to hear of a visit to the "True Light" School for Chinese girls at Canton. Here between one and two hundred girls have a happy mission home, and enjoy the Christmas celebrations just as much as any girls in America. It was a great pleasure to be in- vited over to see them at that time. As I came in before the busy roomful of girls, dressed in their strange costume, their bright faces turned shyly up at the newcomer, it seemed more like some make-believe show than a real, every-day school. Many of them looked very pretty in their light-colored dresses and gayly ornamented shoes. Their jet black hair was neatly combed and hung in a long braid down the back, and a red silk cord was bound around it, near the head. They were seated in rows on their wooden stools, before long, high desks, two at each desk. As I stood watching them, the teacher called up two girls to bid me welcome. They came with a graceful little bow, and just here I came near doing something dreadful. Being wholly unacquainted with their manners, I was about to offer to shake hands. The missionary prevented me, however, and I afterwards learned it was considered the height of rudeness for a man to touch a girl's hand. These Chinese girls have a wonderful memory. They learn their lessons by heart and recite them with a readiness and accuracy that would do credit to any scholar in America. They often recite with glibness long chapters from the Bible without missing a word. In this boarding school they study all the common branches, and some take up the higher studies of chemistry, astronomy, natural history and natural theology. Especially do they make a study of the Bible, and many of them can ask questions that would puzzle us. Some of the girls study music, and play the piano nicely. At this Christmas they gave a most delightful entertainment, one that would have been a pleasant surprise to any of us, bad we been there. The pleasant chapel of the school was decorated with banners and mottoes in Chinese. The platform was backed by handsome flowers and the green fan palms. At the front of the room were two evergreen trees with a load of good things for the younger scholars. But prettiest of all were the children themselves. The little primary class, shown in the picture in front, the girls dressed in their very best, some with pretty pink cheeks, and all as full of eager anticipation as our own school children, at their Christmas festivals. The exercises began by chanting a Christmas piece by the sweet little voices of the infant class, followed by singing from the whole school. It was good to hear those girls sing, all in Chinese, to be sure, but pleasant for all that. Next came a charming duct by two of the older girls, "I am so glad that Jesus loves me," in English. Their voices were so sweet and pure that it did not seem as if these girls had once been a part of great heathen China. Then followed interesting recitations by the scholars, a duct by two little tots, and another little bit of a thing sung in English, "Jesus loves me, this I know.' Towards the close of the evening one of the missionaries gave a short talk, and the entertainment ended with a quartet sung by others of the Americans, which very much pleased the girls, and after that they were made happy by the distribution of little presents. Altogether it was one of the most pleasing Christmas entertainments 1 ever witnessed. This was some years ago, but now many of those girls have little ones of their own who are taught from earliest childhood of the joys of Christmas, and of (iod's greatest gift to man of a loving Savior. A hundred years ago there was no Christmas time in China, now many thousands of children in that great empire find it one of the happiest times of the whole year. LEPER CHRISTMAS. GIVING VERSUS RECEIVING, In proportion as we enter into it, does the verity of truth become a recognized fact in individual experience. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." This too on all lines, whether it be the giving of oneself in thought, word, work or money. Many lives have been made richer by the expenditure of thfcir forces, even in these over-taxed, strenuous days, in the devising and carrying out of schemes for the brightening of other lives. The busiest of busy women have counted it all joy to add to their shopping lists, outdoing themselves in these- 9 lection of over four hundred gifts for the lepers at Molokai. What a pleasure, too, it was to fill the little bags and envelopes! It was no small thing, the getting "an earnest" of the Christmas thrill, even in the folding and tucking into he bags the pretty bits of ribbon or tiny bottles of perfumery. Time rolled backward for a moment's space —we were girls again as we noted that the girls now older grown were not excluded from the pleasing prettinesscs that hearten all sorts and ages of girls. And the useful, practical things were strikingly in evidence. Bags containing a variety of things will doubtless give great satisfaction. To one a crochetneedle and two spools of mercerized cotton, another some buttons, tape and pins —needles and thimbles were not forgotten, thus covering quite a field of wants and needs. The men, likewise, were all thought fully remembered —but fancy the Hashing of the bus's eyes as he unrolls a parcel containing a blue, green, maroon or bright red sweater! This in addition to the bags of marbles or pistol with generous supply of caps. We must noi omit the perennial cheer that ever goes with candies and fruits; surely many a face will be brightened, many a heart cheered by these generous gifts. Forgetting not the enfolding in each gift, an earnest prayer to the All loving Great Physician for His continued ministry to each sorrowing sufferer. What a blessed harvest we may confidently expect! That each giver may enjoy the reflex blessedness of prayer added to their joy in giving it the earnest wish of ONE OF THE PACKERS. Honolulu, Dec. 20, 1905. THE MESSAGE OF AN HONEST PRESIDENT. Our President, Theodore Roosevelt, has issued his annual message to Congress, reporting the condition and needs of our imperial Republic. It points out a variety of peculiar conditions obtaining, and of evils to be corrected and remedied, as well as wants to be supplied and work to be done. Pervading the whole message is that note of firm and honest purpose which marks his nature. Withal it is devoid of all extreme and hysterical moods, full of moderation and calm wisdom. Such a combination marks the wise and strong President whom the whole country has learned to trust and follow. God has greatly blessed our land with such a chief magistrate on whom the people can confidently rely as honest, wise and determined. By no better gift than such a leader can any land be favored. �THE FRIEND 10 Mr. Roosevelt's recommendations are wholly in line with the spirit of the recent great uprisings in the. November elections in the American cities to break up and suppress long established systems of "graft" and organized fraud. Also with the strong and open exposures of fraud and robbery in great financial institutions. Among the various features of this overwhelming movement we cannot too greatly rejoice in the tremendous defeat in Ohio of Myron Herrick, the Republican candidate for Governor, who was the candidate of the party machine, in complicity with the saloonists. The honesty of the state arose in its power and smashed the corrupt machine, reversing the enormous majority for Roosevelt in the previous year. That was a splendid example for Hawaii. Here, too, we have an ambitious and dictatorial machine, organized on old corrupt mainland patterns. A County Committee undertakes to dictate to the Republican voters. It claims to read out of the party every voter who will not blindly vote the whole ticket, and to refuse such voters a voice in the primaries. We must all vote for their nominees, however corrupt and objectionable. This is the very essence of political corruption. Every County Committee that stands upon such ground thereby earns the loathing of their fellow citizens. Every self-respecting and patriotic citizen will spurn such dictation. If good men are nominated, we will vote for them. If corrupt or doubtful men, we will defeat them. Away with your vile dictation! So said the Republican citizens of ()hio, and flung down hard Myron Herrick and his gang of Republican machinists and saloonists. Hawaii is now reaping the fruits of carelessly yielding to corrupt political managers, by finding our rural districts, as well as our towns, wholly given over to and pervaded by grog shops of every degree in the remotest corners, in consequence of the blindly corrupt legislation enacted by a legislature selected for us by corrupt and unprincipled County Committees. These men have filled the land with the stench of alcoholism and opium doping, to the rapid ruin of the common people, and now they claim to deny us all privilege of choice for whom we shall vote. Ex-President Cleveland adds bis wise and influential voice in support of the noble campaign against political and financial corruption. The one place now most in need of a thorough cleaning out is the Federal Senate, so largely composed of corrupt capitalists and their agents, who were chosen by purchased legislatures, both in old and newer States. It is a wholesome sign when such a pair of rotten old corruptionists as Senators Piatt and Depew are held up to public scorn. So the long battle of Honesty and Righteousness against Fraud and Duplicity goes slowly on towards its advancing triumph. Roosevelt is a noble leader in that conflict. S. E. B. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Today's date, as we write, December 22nd, reminds one of the Pilgrims' stepping from the Mayflower upon the Rock at Plymouth. What a noble freight of saintly souls and of lofty character that memorable ship brought for the foundation of civilized society in bleak and savage New Fmgland. But of all her rich freight, of the highest and best was the Holy Fear of God, and Reverence for His Ten Commandments, to be landed and planted on that dark heathen shore as the firm basis of a pure, prosperous and triumphant social organization. Verily "the ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether" and "in keeping of them there is great reward." The splendid superiority of New England in social, economical and political prosperity testify thereto. Only second in preciousness to individual and national life than the later and accordant Revelation of God's rich grace in Jesus Christ, of which the Law of Sinai was the indispensable Forerunner, was that earlier Covenant made by Jehovah with bis elect People Israel— that Old Testament of Holy Law. Blessed indeed was Israel when Jehovah came down upon Sinai in such impressive and awful display, and delivered to them in definite and ordered form that most explicit Revelation of His Way and Will. Educated and trained for forty years in obedience to that Law, and in reliance upon Jehovah's appended Covenant of gracious help, Israel took successful possession of Canaan, and found rest there "The under the divine protection. statutes of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes." And every nation that sacredly believes and holds in awe that holy Decalogue as the Ordinance of God, is planted iiixjii a solid basis of Righteousness and Wisdom. After their earlier desert schooling, Israel never absolutely forgot or despised that law, although often rebellious and often scourged back into obedience and reverence. After the Captivity, they measurably grew into conformity until Messiah came. Even the after rejecting the Messiah and being dispersed, their reverent observance of the Law of Sinai has saved them from decay and preserved in them a central essence of social integrity, surviving all destructive influences. From Israel we Christian peoples inherit that wise and holy code of laws. Our society is founded u|m)ii it, and is preserved by its sanitating force. By its pervading control are we enabled to live together in a good degree of social health, through an unforgottcn Reverence to God and observance of His Sabbaths, through Honor to Parents, and sense of the Sacredness of human life, through reverence of Social Purity, and sense of imperative obligation to Integrity and to Truthfulness. By means of the Ten Commandments have these fundamental virtues and obligations become deeply rooted in the moral sense of Christian nations, enabling them to maintain a good degree of moral sanity, and thereby to escape deep corruption and to prosper. Now what a blind and fatuous blunder is being made by those Christian teachers who are bent upon discrediting the historical verity of any such Revelation having been made by Jehovah through Moses at Sinai. Why, the very existence and living Bower of such a I.aw through the ages at the center of national life in Israel, is its own supreme testimony to its actual origin at Sinai! It is the fundamental Constitution of Israel. It is the backbone of its national existence. That original Covenant of Jehovah is the mighty ineradicable tap-root of Israel's growth and strength, a root that has never failed in its vitality and sustaining force through all Israel's crushing misery in later ages. Feeding on that undying strength Israel lives or. awaiting the day of her conversion to. her disowned Messiah. That Holy Law of Sinai to which we bow as did our fathers, was the very center and essence of God's earlier disclosures of His Way and Will to mankind. In the presence of that majestic Code of Righteousness and Moral Health, with its awful sanctions, how do all the not despicable thoughts of great souls like Zoroaster, Gautama or Cbnfutze pale and become hopelessly insignificant. We need not wait for the Father's later and blessed revelation through His Son Jesus to eclipse their dim and misty light. Moses had long before done that at Sinai. Our Old Testament is a glorious sun of soul light and living power, despite all the fantastic guesses of the Destructive Critics. In such divine light all lesser lights of the nations fade from view. S. E. B. �THE FRIEND BOYS' CLUB NOTES. During the past year, some of us have felt that our clubs were deficient in getting near to the heart life of the boys. To organize clubs and to have boys meet once a week and play games is not the club's highest ambition, Not many club leaders would consider their time well spent if the club offered nothing more than amusement to the boys. The object of the ideal club is the development of character. |To meet this need, during the past six weeks a series of five gospel and temperance talks, illustrated with the stereopticon, has been given every Saturday night in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. ( )ne thousand coupon tickets were issued and placed in the hands of not only the club boys, but of many other boys. The attendance has ranged from one hundred and fifty to two hundred boys. Mr. Rider has given two strong temperance talks. Mr. Westervelt's subject was "Beautiful Things," while Mr. Richards showed the pictures of the Passion Play at Ober-Ammergan. December 30th Mr. Turner tells the story of "Pilgrims Progress." Special music has been rendered each night. Among those contributing have been the Kamehameha Glee Club, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Raymond Brown, Miss Sturgeon and the Normal (ilee Club. The experiment has proven enough of a success to warrant its repetition at some future date. The indoor baseball season of the clubs has come to a close. The final game of the Juniors was played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, by the Kawaiahaos and the Balamas. It was a close game and well played. The Balamas won by one run after a most sensational finish. Indoor baseball has proven very popular among the boys, and in the future it should become one of the annual contests. The boys are now making the acquaintance of basket ball. A scries of games will probably be arranged to be played in February. ()ne of our greatest needs is a suitable meeting place for the Kawaiabao clubs. Considering their equipment, it is a marvel that these clubs have held together during the year. They meet in the baseBut ment of the Kawaiabao Church. low the rafters projecting ceiling, the and the many posts makes it almost impossible to play any running games like baseball or basket ball. It is not safe to wela. Whatever our clubs do or do not do, they catch and hold the boys. And everybody admits that a boy must be caught before he can be helped, either mentally or morally. Kakaako is teeming with boyhood and young manhood that is demanding some expression of pent-up life. Our clubs properly managed offer just the channel needed. Once in a club, the boy becomes susceptible to the influence of the manager and his helpers. It is now becoming the custom for a championship team to invite the "runner up" team to meet with them for a social evening and share refreshments. It is a good custom for it develops the spirit of fellowship and will lead to fair play in sports. We now have a new horse mower at the Boys' Field. The entire oval can now be mowed in a day and more time can be given to the track and the care of the field. The mower was a good investment. We are planning to hold two field days in the spring. One open meet and one boys' club meet. Invitations have been sent to the other Islands, to their athletic clubs, inviting them to be represented in the spring open meet. There ought to be athletes on the other Islands who would like to have a try at the Island championship. The Kamehameha Schools have an inter-class field meet at the Boys' Field the last of this month. Kamehameha has fast men in every event and it will be an interesting meet. The Chinese Athletic Club will hold a meet exclusively for Chinese athletes the latter part of January. It is to be hoped that a similar meet may be arranged for the Japanese athletes of the city. The management of the Boys' Clubs will do all it can to encourage clean athletics among all the different nationalities of the Islands. An interesting experiment has been tried on the track of the Boys' Field in killing the Chinese grass. This grass has been most troublesome in that its seeds or bulbs are found two feet under ground and it rapidly spreads A heavy salt brine was made and the water put on toiling. It has killed the grass tem|3orarily, but whether permanently, it is too early to state. Interest in the classes at the trades school is maintained. The boyc ~'i busily engaged in making canes, turning calabashes and other articles. This school represents an investment of $5,000 remove the posts and to ceil the rafters and there ought to be a larger use made would not warrant the expense. It is a of it. There is a plan in mind whereby great pity that Kakaako has no suitable a greater use may be made of the school. The annual report of the work of the club house as has Palama and Kaulu- 11 Boys' Clubs will be issued within a few days and then all our friends may know more fully what has been done the past year.

That for which we have prayed and toiled during the past two or three years, lias at last been granted to us—362 men, women and children have made a stand for Christ in July, with about 100 more to follow in the near future. Let us praise Jehovah for all his mercies. Bless the Lord (>h my soul. It was on our usual Communion Sabbath. We had prayed for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit and expected to have it. Nearly 400 adults with their children had been instructed in the scay for two or three years past and they even had claimed a change of heart, but not one of tbcni showed a definite desire for baptism and admission into the church during all these years. A few days before these never-to-be-forgotten Sabbaths, it seemed as if th«» time of reaping had not come yet. Wife and I felt just a little depressed, perhaps wrongly so, that the people did not come out and boldly declare Christ as their Savior and King. This conversation took place on the Friday before Communion Sabbath. We made no special effort whatsoever to induce the people to come, but worked on in our usual manner. On Saturday, July Bth, the fire descended. Early that morning the natives began to come, men and women, old and young, begged to be baptized and taken into By Sabbath morning 136 church. dusky men and women were gathered around the platform in our church to receive the sacrament of baptism and to be admitted into fellowship of the Nauru Evangelical Church. One hundred and eighty-two persons had made application, but 46 were found, after due examination, to be not quite ripe for the rite of baptism. Great as our joy and victory was that day, it was to be eclipsed on the following Sabbath. The I.ord's supper had to be postponed until the following Sunday, as I felt not able to administer it, after baptizing so many people, because immediately after the lwptisni of adults, according to our cus- torn, we marry those who have hitherto lived together as man and wife (according to heathen custom), and lastly we baptize their infants and smaller children. At the close of the service, which commenced at 10 a. m. and closed at 4 p. m., I made the announcement that we would, I). V., gather around the Lord's table on the following Sabbath. But it was not to be so after all. During the week 287 men, women and children, among which were nearly one-half of our school children, came and clamored for baptism. Two hundred and twenty-six of these were found worthy to receive the sacrament. And thus the scene of the previous Sabbath was repeated, with the only difference that is was still more blessed to be there. I low our hearts went up to God in thanksgiving that morning, my pen can not describe. I think it was the grandest and most impressive sight we have ever witnessed as we looked down on the 100 boys and girls, all between the ages of 12 and 14, who were gathered around us to receive baptism, the choir singing during the ceremony softly such beautiful hymns as, "Savior led me, lest I stray" and "Ring the bells of heaven." It was worth six years of prayer, toil, loneliness and, a times, Revere disappointment, to be there that morning. How we wished to have our missionary father, the Rev. O. H. Gulick, and the many loyal friends of this mission among us. A glimpse of that scene, when fully 1,100 natives worshipped their God, our God, would have repaid them for the many sacrifices they have made for this work. We have now, September 20, 1905, a church membership of 474 adults and 283 baptized real and adopted children of members, or a grand total of 757 baptized souls in our congregation, as against 248 adults and 131 children (379 in a li) on December 31, 1904. A gain of 236 adults and 152 children, or 388 in all, during the first eight months of the present year! The work at present is in fine condition. May God guard and help us all. Further particulars of the work we will, D. V., publish in our "Sixth Annual Report." The subject of the first Royal School in the last number of Tin-: F"riknp has resulted in some very interesting correspondence addressed to Mr. A. F. Cooke, from which material we are at liberty to draw. The writer states that school was exclusively for the descendants of the chiefs of the Kamehameha dynasty and those friendly to them. He points out, too, that there was no real connection between this school and the Royal School afterwards begun under the leadership of Rev. E. G. Beckwith. A curious old report in the handwriting of Mr. Cooke is copied as follow s to show the names of the pupils: John li and Sarah Hewauli. (These were the Kahu or guardian and bis wife.) The boys are as follows: Moses Kekuaiwa, Lot Kamehameha, Alexander Liholiho, William Lunalilo, Peter Young Kaeo, James Kaliokalani, David Kalakaua. The girls were Victoria Kamamain, Bemice Patiahi (Mrs. C. R. Bishop), Lydia Makaeha, Jane Loeau, Abigail Mahele, Elizabeth Kekaaniau, Polly l'aiaina, Emma Rooke (Ouecn Emma). It appears that John Pitt Kinati and Gideon Laanui attended later. The school was broken up in 1850, when Mr. and Mrs. Cooke moved to Kawaiabao,—the old Cooke homestead. Ed.

They turned but it did not end here. The story was spread through the Governor's household and Moses' mother came up to sec him and had a private conversation upon the subject. The next morning the boy was sick and we were first apprised of the fact by a request from the Governor that he might come and spend the day with him and take medicine. Mr. C. waived the matter till after prayers and finally until after breakfast, during which be received a third written request for Moses to come down directly.

Mr. Richards spoke of the importance of the school* in a political point of view, alluding in a happy manner to some remarks made to him by the good Kaahumanu before her death. Dr. Judd followed by speaking of their physical education and gave an account of the origin of the idea of such a school for these children. Also what would be expected of them.

I felt rather uneasy, but did not know what to say so I sat quiet and partook of their provisions. We had knives, forks, plates, silver spoons, castors teacups and saucers, everything customary among you, but the knives did not shine quite so bright and the plates and tumblers not quite as clean as they might. The linen damask table cloth was white and clean, the water cool and refreshing. Auhea's house stood close by the sea. It was built of stones, two stories high. They lived upstairs in a large room that opened upon a broad piazza. 1 lere we had a full view of the sea, the ships in the harbor and the white surf, as it rolled over the reef toward the house. The island of I.anai rose in the distance variegating the scenery, beautiful kou tries shaded the house and many people were collected on all sides to gaze upon the young princes, (The above furnishes a fine illustration of at least two notable facts, viz.: First, early inter-island transportation was not rapid nor any too comfortable. Second, Hawaiian hospitality was royal then, nor has it entirely passed away. — tea. Ed.) Tuesday the 26th. After breakfast we were conducted to a house that had been exprcssedly fitted up for our use. It was a large stonehouse two stories high. It is done all as houses are usually in America, plastered and painted. There are six rooms, three above and the same below. The floors are all matted. Bed, mosquito nets, table furniture, tables, chairs, cooking stove and operators. I went out to the cook house and found fish frying and vegetables cooked for dinner. Everything was prepared and preparing for us. It was very pleasant to be thus received by the parents of onr pupils, but more expense was incurred than we wished, as our stay will probably be short. More Royal Hospitality. We came without any flour, it being a scarce article in Honolulu, but the Premier has purchased us a barrel for $16.00 of a ship now in port. Tea and coffee, melons and bananas, cucumbers, squashes, potatoes, taro, fish, sugar, etc., etc., it was rather more than I could endure.

A Mention of the Great Temperance Crisis. Vesterday, the 26th, was a great day for the Hawaiian nation. A temperance meeting was held and after several speeches the king and all the chiefs publicly signed the temperance pledge. It is a matter of great rejoicing though we rejoiced with trembling. ments was to April 30th. We have had a great freshet. It rained or rather poured down almost all night. Many of the poor natives were obliged to fly from their houses with no covering, from the incessant rain. Many houses were swept away. In some places the water stood tip as high as the waist. The lightning was constant though not a great deal of hard thunder. Our cellar was filled up full. We lost one barrel of hard-bread, given us by the Governor. The water came in all around. One side of the bed was quite wet. To-day it has been raining. The children have made me almost crazy and the red mud has been carried from garret to cellar. RECORD OF EVENTS. The chiefs always expect cake and nice cake, too. I have bread and butter, cup cake, cookies, fried cakes, sponge cake, crackers, tea and coffee. I used forty eggs in my cookery and the bread was swept clean. There were thirty-five of us ah, counting our family. Now I must express it in plain language that the expense of this entertainment was borne by the chiefs and not the mission, lest you might wonder if it was right for the missionaries thus to appropriate the money given them for spreading the blessed gospel. (There were critics in the homeland in those days, too. Not easily disarmed then, as now. Ed.) We think it has a good effect upon the chiefs thus to meet us and spend an occasional evening with their children in a social way. Dr. Judd and Mr. Richards were here, too. Aftei tea we assembled in the parlor, where the children sung and read in the bible, and after a prayer by Mr. Richards several Psalm tunes were sung,—the German watchman's song, the "Minute Gun at Sea," etc. His Majesty was in excellent spirit. His wife is a very pretty native and a professed Christian. All present appeared to enjoy the evening. A Side Trip to Wailuku. May sth. I feel lonely and desolate this morning. Mr. Cooke and the children have gone a station about 15 miles from this. They started early about daylight in company with the king, who goes to escort them with four boats. He is to go within seven miles from the station and then return. The children take horses where the king leaves them and go by land the remainder of the way. The king and chiefs continue to treat T had us with the greatest kindness. written thus far yesterday when Dr. Judd came with horses, all saddled, to accompany me to I.ahainahma. T had two men to go and carry my children. to Wailuku, May 13th. Mr. Cooke and the children arrived on the 7th. They had beautiful weather and a delightful time. The children exhausted all their English over and over again in trying to tell me of all the things they bad seen and heard. Last night I had the king and chiefs here to tea. The day previous was spent in baking and preparing for them. T found it very difficult to do so on many accounts. When T came from home I did not expect to stay long and brought just as few things as I could get along with, but after considerable contrivance I succeeded in giving an excellent supper.
