The wind was light and Mr. Walkup thought 1, could reach land that day with the use of his engine. He accordingly went below ■till oil It and get it ready. It seems that all the natives were also below, with the exception of an Ocean Island boy, who was at the wheel. A souall came up. hut he gave Mr. Walkup no warning until it was very close.

Joseph, the eldest, and Clarence, the youngest, having died many years ago. The surviving brother is Amos Francis Cooke. The sisters were Martha E., widow of the late S, T. Alexander; Juliette M-. widow of the late J. B. Atherton; and Mary A., widow of the late Charles Turner, more widely known as .Mints Montague. Honolulu was a very quiet corner of the earth in the Fifties and Sixties, and, under the care and direction of such parents, the development of any other than a Stirling character was hardly possible. The Cookes were educators, and in the family the Laril of a sound education was laid, followed by years of telling work at Puna1k v, and his schooling was completed b\ a year or two at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Returning to the Islands in 1871, Mr. Cooke entered the employ of the old firm of Castle & Cooke, which was founded by his father and Mr. S. N. Castle. At the time of his entry into business, the fit m comprised S. N. Castle, J. P. Cooke, T. B. Athcrton and the ITstate of A. S. Cooke. Mr. Castle taught book-keeping to a good inanv of the young men of those days, and all of the business institution and training Charles had was derived from this teaching. Tn later years he was recognised as one of the finest accountants in the country. At first, assistant, he soon became head book-keeper and cashier in the growing and important business of that concern. But. partly because he felt that others of the young nun of the families had claims on the firm and in part because he was stirred to strike out for himself, be accepted an offer from Lewers and P'ckson, and, with Robert Lewers, became a partner with Joshua G. Dickson. This was in 1877. Mr. Dickson died i' Tidy. 1880. Within a few months the "surviving partners bought the interest oi the Dickson Estate and launched the new firm of Lewers and Cooke, which continued to carry on the lumber business began so many years before by C. H. Lewers. This is now the well-known corporate concern called Lewers and Cooke, Limited, with wnich Mr. Cooke at tht was still connected as directorsince, his though, long death, his time of F. J. active leadership had ceased, Mr. T owrey having become manager. It was during his early connection with Lewers and Cooke, that his keen business instincts led him to take a more active interest in the development of the country under tbe stimulus of the Reciprocity Treaty. His sagacity and clear insight were appreciated at once and it 7 THE FRIEND. was not long before his services were in pany, the banks at Lihue and Wailuku, demand as director and in other posi- and had only recently withdrawn from tions of res|K)iisibility in many business the same position in Ewa, Waialua and ventures. He took hold of established si,gar plantations and did much in reel ganization and other ways to make them paying concerns. He believed that our industrial field offered rare opportunities for the useful investment of capital, and urged the establishment of another bank which should be owned and controlled by the business men of the community. During these years he became an acknowledged financial leader. But his energies were not confined to the sugar and mercantile industries. Appreciating the danger of depending on a single industry he urged the establishment of other enterprises and joined heartily in formulating plans to establish the growth of tea and coffee on a firm commercial basis. He was a director and deeply interested in the Kon Coffee and Tea Plantation, and, though it fa led, he often said that the experience was not lost; it would result in good to the Islands eventually. The correctness of his judgment has since been amply demtmst rated. In 1807 the Bank of Hawaii was organized and opened its doors Decembc* 27. He was one of its charter members, but as the family was then residing M California he declined active participa tion in its affairs. Following the deal of Ned Jones and the temporary retirement of Mr. P. C. Jones from active business, he however finally accepted with some reluctance, the presidency ot the bank and assumed the duties of tinposition in September. 1898. At that time the bank had a paid-up capital ol $300,000, but through his energy am' able leadership its business so developed and increased, despite the establishment cf two other banks and two trust companies since 1898, that when he laid as de active leadership January 1. 1909.. it ha<' a paid-up capital of $000,000, undiv'ded profits of nearly $500,000 more, and the largest banking business in the Terri tory. It is almost true that he had the golden touch. Nearly everything he became interested in and labored for was prosperous. To illustrate the truth of this, one only has to remember the names of some of his enterprises—Ewa, Waialua. Lihue, Koloa. Hawaiian Agricultural. Fohala, Wailuku, Wahiawa, Brewer Co., the Bank of Hawaii, with its subsidiary banks on Kauai and Maui. At the time of his death he was President of the Bank of Hawaii. Brewer &• Com- : •» the Hawaiian Agricultural Company, and he was still an active director in many other corporations. Those who have dealt with Mr. Cooke will testify to his rare business ability. He was shrewd, yet bold: conservative, yet far sighted. One quality, which has had a fine influence in Hawaii, was h s unfailing optimism. It was always present and vigorously exercised when most needed, and has done much to sustain when everything appeared dark and hopeless to others. All will remember bow perfectly cool and confident he was during the sudden panic of 1007, when our close relations with New York seemed to render disaster here certam. Always cordial and courteous, it was a pleasure to deal with him, and though one could not always succeed in interestinir him in some business enterprise vet disappointment was tempered by his s\ mpathetic kindness. To those who only met Mr. Cooke in the walks of business, it would seem that tbe story of his life was completed with the commercial history of Ivs times and hi.i connection therewith. But to those who knew him well, business was only one side of the largeness of his nature, and the sweetest and best was found in hit social, religious and domestic life. April 30, 1874. he was married to Anna C. Rice, daughter of the late William Rice, of Lihue, Kauai. Of the issue of this marriage all live but two, and all have settled in Hawaii, becoming useful and valuable citizens, thus following in the footsteps of their father. They arc C. Montague Cooke, Clarence 11. Cooke. George P. Cooke, Richard A. Cooke, Alice T. Cooke and Theodore A. CookeExcept the two last named all are engaged in business. Everyone who had the privilege of entering his home learned to admire the spirit there manifested.

The present huildit g occupied by the Young Men's Christian Association was built twenty-seven years ago. For that day its arrangement was excellent, providing as it did a reading room, game room and a large assembly hall. Tbe Association in those days was not looked upon strictly as a social center, but largely as a center for religious gather- position. The Association has found its mission to these boys anel much tnemey and time are being devoted to boys' work. The old building has occupied a place of large usefulness and real service in the community. Has not the time come when the business men of Hawaii will provide this institution with a buileling which will enable us to take advantage of the years of Association experience here and elsewhere, and develop an organization that will fill the large vacant place in the life of the average young ings.

A. can take these "men in the rough" and hew them into MENTAL strength and PHYSICAL it found that it could reach a man far more effectively by reaching him from all sides of his nature, and eelucational ami physical departments were added to grasp this greiwing opportunity. Since then the Association has had another vision of opportunity, and now sees that perhaps its best approach to the heart of a man is througii his social nature. When the old lady in the poor house was asked how she spent her time, she said: "Sometimes I sits an' thinks, an' sometimes I jist sits." This plan of life was very well for the old lady, but the modern young man is built on more strenuous lines than "jist sittin' and thinkin.'" He must have something to occupy his time, and if he cannot find it where the influences are good, experience shows that he will find it somewhere else. Occupation he must have. So the Association building of today is a great social center and reaches young men from this most approachable side of their natures. It now plans to occuply all a man's spare time, giving him no excuse for going to the bad. The present Y. M. C. A. building is not so equipped. It has practically no equipment for social work, and its provisions for educational and physical activities are entirely outgrown. Another serious defect in the present equipment is that no rooms are provided for the boys under eighteen. Recent years of research have impressed it upon the educators of our nation that the critical period in a boy's life is the years between twelve and eighteen. Home interests and influences are insufficient even at their best, and where the home influence is bad or indifferent the adolescent boy is indeed in an unfortunate LOBBY. SPOKANE Y. M. C. A.

Ninety-five per cent of the men of the country, educators tell us, have received no preparation for their specific life work. Only a small per cent of boys go beyond �10 the eighth grade in our public schools, and many drop out of school altogether at the age of fifteen to go to work. The Young Men's Christian Association, by providing night schools,, and a special course of instruction to meet the needs of these men and older boys, is continually calling tbe youth of the city to higher efficiency through education, and its call is being heard. The International Committee of Y. M. C. A.'s ranks the Honolulu Association among the highest in the percentage of its members in educational classes. As its equipment is improved, its call will be heard by more, until the less fortunate men and boys oi the city, those for whom the Government has made no provision whatever along celucational lines, will have an opportunity of earning a better living, and getting more out of life because of better preparation for their volition.

Through Bihle classes and meetings and personal talks in the building, in shops and barracks, the Association is calling men away from low ideals, from selfishness, impurity, intemperance, laziness, and drifting, into a life of serious purpose, clean habits and self-control.

UILDINGS ACMYB INW THE EST The Western States during the past few years have been experiencing a most remarkable era of building activity. Ihe Y. M. C. A. —always an expression of the best life of the city—has naturally shared in this movement, and now every city west of the Rocky Mountains has either erected a large modern Y. M. C. A. building or has money raised lor that purpose. Ihe West is not held back by precedent, and is continually on the lookout for new ideas promoting efficiency, and has seized upon the V M. C. A. with a most encouraging enthusiasm. Buildings costing from $50,-000 to over half a million have been erected in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Salt Lake, Riverside, Stockton, Spokane and other cities. Los Angeles has completed a magnificent structure costing over $600,000. The . Y. M. C. A. BIBLE CLASS, M A KINK BARRACKS.

In this way the Association is making a large contribution to the religious, civic and business life of tbe cities on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountans. With the single exception of Minneapolis, there is hardly a city of any consequence west of Chicago that has not made adequate provision for the needs of the young men of the city by the erection of a Ye>ung Men's ChrisThe Y.

Friendship, safeguarding of character, lack of solituele—these are the values, says President Tbwing of Western Reserves University, that characterize tbe college dormitory. If the young man in college—the ideal environment for friendships, in an atmosphere intended primarily to focter and develop character, meeting daily with many other men of like interests —needs some means of supplying friendship ,ot safeguarding character and preventing solitude, how much more does a young man in the city need them. Young men coming from the Coast and going to work in our local establishments, frequently remaining in the city months and even years, forming few friendships,—and some of these not uplifting,—need some such institution as an association dormitory, where they will be thrown daily into constact with men of clean character and high ideals. If the young man is not a church goer—and only one young man in five belongs to the church —his opportunities for forming wholesome friendships are even less, and bis need of the dormitory greater. Happily, this class of men will come to the Association where they will not go to the church. Many of us who have lived in college dormitories know that it is there that we have formed our richest and most uplifting friendships, lo these friends we have gone with our difficulties and temptations and problems, our Hopes and our successes, and found in their companionship and sympathy the necessary stimulus to work for the best things in life. The average young man coming into the city has had no such opportunity and the privilege of the Association of supplying these elements in the lives of young men is very great. But the positive work of supplying men with the opportunity of forming friendships is, perhaps, exceeded by the opportunity of safeguarding the welfare of those whose characters have not yet been formed and, in other cases, providing a wholesome environment in which men who have made a failure in other places can start again. Many a time during these past three years that we have been Secretary in Honolulu we could have helped a man onto his feet and into character if we had had an Association dormitory, in which the men could have lived during the formative or rebuilding period. Without a dormitory the Association influence can touch a man but a small number of hours each day; with an Association �October, 1909. 11 THE FRIEND.

Sec. 2. That for a second or subsequent conviction the fine and imprisonment shall be double that of the preceding conviction, and in case of a land- anel man ? Here is a chance. It is plain that Hawaii the beautiful is to be Hawaii the strong, the citadel of American sea-power, a working model e>f American civilization. The loveliness remains and will remain. But islanel life has sheel the quiet rainbow circumflex, and moves henceforth with the acute accent. Strength means ability and opportunity, and these, together, mean responsibility. We have come to the day of tie powerful. The readers of The Friend are the most powerful people of these islands. Human life in the Islands is like the land—luxuriant to windward, but weak on the lee side. The readers of The Friend have the windward of Hawaiian life. Generations of good blood pour self-control and self-respect into their veins. The trade wind of mampenticosts blows cool and sweet through all the chambers of their consciousness. Wealth and influence are in their hands by inheritance and achievement. Over the range is desert; and he is very deaf who does not hear it cry for help that it too may bloom anel bear. Help has been given, royally and courteously, and none of it in vain. But the liquor traffic, the tare-sower-chartered by law, is wiser and busier than church or school,—the mortal enemy of every thing that lives, from protoplasm to philosophy. October, iejog. Let us face the facts. There are more drink shops, licensed anel illicit, than churches. The Hawaiian Board is no match for the brewery. The police powt- is incapable of enforcing even the restrictive features of the license law. The open saloon should be wipeel out. The legitimate use and sale of alcoholic diinks should be carefully guarded. brewery should be put out of business, ar worthless and dangerous. These are the subjects, it is true, of the local police power. But the liquor power is greater than the present local police power. And this is no unhearel-of crndition. Tt is matched by the corporation problem. Corporations arc created by states and are subject to their will. Put corporations do business in the othe • states, and it has been found that nothing short of federal power is able to keep them in control. Tbe suppression of the drink traffic in the islands is work which only the fc' eral government can elo. Tt will be done if tbe readers of The Friend desire it earnestly enough. The following is a passage from a letter T have just received from one of the nation's strong men in Washington: 'T am much interested in what you are doing in Hawaii. Tt looks to me as if you were getting things hi line for prohibition at the hands of Congress. 1 believe you are on the right track and that you will win if your support in the islands is strong." Aye. but will it he strong enough? The Johnson bill, which is included in this article, is a moderate measure. It leaves private hospitality untrammeled Tt provides the means of getting necessary liquors; but it outlaws dram-making and dram-selling. The federal government is able to enforce its laws, far more effectively than can be done by local officers, with local laws. Tts officers arc detached from local considerations, and have no business but to make good in their positions. The local constabulary arc hindered and weakened in many ways. T give herewith a brief list of men in Congress who would presumably be favorable to the Johnson bill: Senators. Post Office address. "Senate, Washington, D. C T. P. Dolliver, M. N. Tohnson. W. P.

Hayashi, who for twelve years has been the force'fill editor in chief of the principle Japanese paper in Kona a secular paper called the Kona Hankyo. (Echo) —recently published a leading — article on the subject, "Reasons Tor the Necessity of Evangelists in Every Plantation." Without giving his arguments in detail, we mention here the seven reasons he advanced in his outspoken advocacy of Christian work, which are the more remarkable inasmuch as he himself is not a Christian. (t"0. Not all Japanese here are Buddhists. They are free to choose the best religion, and therefore they shoubl have the importunity to learn of and to embrace Christianity. (2). Unlike Buddhism, Christianity is positive, not negative in its teachittg and practice. Tt exerts itself for the correction of hael customs and evil practices, and works for the social betterment of the people; for example. Buddhism is not ashamed of having women of ill repute even in connection with its temples, but Christianity rebukes :mpuritv wherever it may exist. This is one of the great reasons why evangelists should be stationed in every plantation. (3). Christ'an evangelists »*» m*«i with world-wide conceptions, and not bmited by merely Japanese considerations. This is a characteristic that qualifies them to be leaders. (4). There is a need of interpreters in whom both the manager and the people can have confidence. The evangelists generally have this confidence and have sufficient knowledge of English to be of great service in this respect. (5). The evangelist stands in the respect of the Manager, and being a Christion, be is more capable of understanding the Manager's point of view. Tlvs enables him to mediate more intelligently. (6). He visits the people and shows true sympathy for them in their trials. He is needed among us for his sympathetic manner. (7). He opens night schools and classes of all kinds to teach the people. He is necessary to us as an educator. We congratulate Kona on having, as the editor of it's chief medium of communication, a man like Dr. Hayashi. who has the courage of his convictions, speaking out what he believes to be for the welfare of the people even though his views must be unacceptable to a large part of his Buddhist constituency; and incidentally it looks to us like a high compliment to our evangelist, Mr. Okamura, that such an article should appear in the field in which he has been working.

DAMON "The realization of the ideal of yesterday and the substitution of the ideal of today are the conditions of progress. A Splendid Forward Movement. Most heartily in accord is The Friend in all its departments, with the whole souled and enthusiastic effort of the Y. M. C. A. of our city to advance its most beneficent work. No feature of its many sided activity is more helpful anel far-reaching in its results than its educational work. Most fitting do we regard it that, in this special issue in company with the reports here presented from a number of our schools to draw attention to the efforts made by this vigorous Association along educational lines. May all success crown the efforts to be made to provide a suitable home for its multifold activities. Last year in the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu there were enrolled: Anglo-Saxon 63 x3 Hawaiian Portuguese 22 Chinese 16 Total 114 Class fees paid $8% of the expenses of instruction. Over half of these students were between ihe ages of 15 and 20. on the opening day, but have also enrolled our full number of pupils on the first day of school. This is worthy of mention as our records do not showany such enrollment on the first day of school in years past. "We have spent a most enjoyable anel profitable year at Hampton, not only tne Hampton which General Armstrong founded, but the Hampton in which the spirit of General Armstrong still lives." The "Friend" wishes it might be able to reproduce here the extremely interesting article which recently appeared in the "Hilo Tribune relative to the great improvements in the school, but as our limits elo not permit of this, we must content ourselves with a few words: "One of the important features of the industrial work will be the use of a great deal of ne wequipment which Mr. anel Mrs. Lyman brought back with them from the mainland. "Mr. Chaves of the Ontario Agricultural College experimental station, will have charge of the agricultural and industrial branch of the work. It is the aim of the school to give its pupils such training in the methods of modern dairyindustry as will enable them to contribute toward the elevation of the local elairy industry to modern lines. For the printing shop of the school a lot of newtype has been secured, as well as a paper cutter of modern make. This department will be in charge of Miss Blanche Miller. As a matter of fact, the school is now excellently equipped and so thoroughly prepared to give its pupils a valuable agricultural and industrial course, in addition to the ordinar) school branches, that it is proposed to give up the primary branch of the school. The argument in favor of this plan is that the primary pupils might get their instruction in the public schools, and the accommodations which are occupied by the primary pupils might then be used by older students altogether." We teach such subjects as BOOKKEEPING, SHORTHAND. T/PI-WRITING, ENGLISH, COMMERCIAL LAW, ARITHMETIC. ALGEBRA, SALESMANSHIP, and a special course for working boys who have left school dt the age of 15, teaching them ENGLISH, ARITHMETIC. PENMANSHIP, GEOGRAPHY and HISTORY.

The year promises exceedingly well. So much of hope is always seen in a large company of the young gathered together that their very presence acts as ar inspiration to all. The new shops are this year well started and are already turning out productive work. During the year just closed two new cottages for married teachers were completed and the coming year one more will be finished. The Association in Osaka, Japan, has on the young men of the city through its educational work. The students come to the Association building to study English and other subjects, and are readily enrolled in Bible classes atid their attendance secured at religious meetings. In this and ez'angelism go way, education hand in hand. Few better points of contact can be established amongst the Oriental races than their desire to secure education. gotten a remarkable hold The outlook of the local Association includes plans for the other races. After the central Association is established in its new quarters, the present nucleus of Chinese and Japanese associations will receive proper attention and develop into vigorous organizations, reaching the young men of these nationalities.

Because of the crowded condition the girls reception room had to be convertcel into a bedroom for the new teacher, but we hope to secure funds for building later." cne. YNTEAHRWM T AUNAOLU SEMINARY. Miss Heusner, Principal, writes as fellows: "School has opened at Maunaolu Seminary with every promise of a splendid year. All but nine of last year's pupils have returned and a number of new ones are already here and more coming. In all probability we shall have as many as can be accommodated. The new members of the faculty, Misses Lay. Balcom and Vanderhoof have entereel upon their duties—with enthusiasm and efficiency. Extensive repairs and replenishings have been made. Judging from the entnusiastic expressions of the pupils up-01. the improvements made, there is no dcubt but that they fully appreciate what has been done.

K FACENTS W AWAIAHAO SEMINARY. We are happy to note the most encouraging progress in the work of the Seminary under the efficient leadership of Miss Boshcr. Principal, and her fine corps of instructors. The new year has opened most prosperously. The enrollment is large, well up to the hundred mark with more to come. We are pleased to have the following statement with reference to those who have joined the Faculty this year: 17 "Kawaiahao Seminary, now the Girls' commodate in the neighborhood Department of the Mid-Pacific Institute, students in night school work. is to be congratulated on being able to secure such able helpers as join the teaching force. "Miss Lucy Tappan, of Gloucester. Massachusetts, is to organize the begin ning e>f the High School course. Miss Tappan is a Vassar graduate and h» taught beith in Vassar and in the U*niversity of Colorado. She has studied in Germany. France and Span anel for the past six years has been at the head of the Modern Language department at Mt. Ilermon Seminary. Mt. ITermon. Massachusetts. "Miss Mary F. Kinney, a graduate O* ( tbcrlin College, and for several years a most successful teacher in San Diego anel later at Miss Head's School in Berkeley, will add greatly to the strength of the teaching force in the grade work. "The Nursing department will be in charge of Miss Leora Worthington, a graeluate of Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington; St. Luke's Hospital and Sloane's Maternity Hospital, New York city. Under Miss Worthington's able instruction, the seminary hopes to develop a nursing course that will train the girls to do efficient nursing in our island homes. "Miss Wrorthington's sister. Miss May Worthington, also a graduate of Whitman College, is to be housekeeper anel in charge of the Domestic Science classes. There will be special cooking classes for the girls in the higher grades. "So great has been the demand for girls to do simple sewing in homes, that the Sewing Department, which was so skilfully handled and developed by Mrs Franklin Burt, is to be given an assistant teacher—Mrs. Annie L. Houghton. "With a constantly increasing number of Oriental students, the demand for courses in their own languages has led to the engaging of a native Chinese and native Japanese teacher to take charge of the courses in Oriental languages "The new school year will open September 13, and there is every indication of a larger enrollment than that of this past year." The local Association will have from 150 to 160 different students in its night school this year. An educational director has been employed, to give most of his time to educational work. He should succeed in developing a very large educational ?cork. The projected building should provide for an equipment to ac- of 300 INSMWTULESTARTED. A few months more this school, with representatives from other schools affi- liated with the "Mid-Pacific Institute." namely "The Japanese Boarding School" and "The Korean School" of the M. E. Mission, will be busily at work in the splendid school home now nearing complction in beautiful Manoa Valley. Judging by the statement kindly lent us by President Merrill we have reason to believe that this year will prove one of the most successful in its history: "Mills Institute opened its eighteenth year on September 13th. The enrollment in the Boarding and Day Departments is 163 of whom nine are Japanese and ten Koreans. The dormitories are uncomfortably crowded and a number of applicants have been placed on the waiting list. Efforts are now being made to secure rooms in the neighborhood of the school for dormitory purposes. Four new students have just arrived from China and entered upon a four years' course in the school. "There are two new teachers on the faculty this year: Mr. J. Glen Hammond, of Colorado College, and Mr. Ralph J. Richardson, of Dartmouth College. The other teachers are, in the English and Commercial departments. Mr. R. Wallen and Miss Flora Cannon, and, in the Chinese department. Mr Tong Kwan Van and Mr. Pak Chan. "The High School department is now well started with a Freshman class of ten. "The students this year are an exceptionally fine appearing lot of young men and boys. The school should have a successful year." An important feature of Association work in future will be the co-ordinating of its work with that of the various missions about town, giving these missions the benefit of the supervision of a man specially trained in the promotion of this type of educational work.

For the most part he is unmarried; what interest can home have for him? His room is merely a roof to sleep under, and to be changed when he gets tired, perchance, for one on some other plantation. Even if he is married, his wife goes out with him te work in the field, so the situation is not much changed. He is in the business for money, nothing else.

Early in life he united with Fort Street Church and has ever since remained a consistent and untiring church member and Christian. Even here his rare business qualifications were most important, for business energy and tact are as much needed in the church as in sugar growing or banking, and when the difficult task of uniting the Bethel Union and Fort Street Churches arose, he was one whose resourcefulness was most called upon. He became a charter member of the Central Union Church and has ever since been a member of its Board of Trustees and many years its chairman. For several years he was Superintendent of the Sunday School and ever and always foremost in promoting the true interests of the church. This notice would be incomplete anel the most notable feature of his life would be omitted, were his benevolence.? and public gifts to go unmentioned. Always generous, yet that generosity arose to munificence during the later years of his life. He had acquired, through his efforts and fine abilities, a considerable fortune. But he never forgot that with wealth came increased responsibility to others, anel most nobly has he responded. The public does not know of the numberless gifts from his hands and his wife's, but very many of the sick and unfortunate are full of lasting gratitude for the timely aid which has come unostentatiously from them. While actively engaged as President of Brewer & Company, be gave all of bis salary to the Pension Fund established tor their employes, and as President of the Bank of Hawaii a half of his salary has been given to the same fund in the Bank. The great causes of missionary enterprise, education, hospitals, public charities, have received princely gifts from them, not once, not twice, but year after year. To them we owe the Aquarium at Waikiki. But as if this wen not memorial enough, there was dedicated at Punahou only last May the Cookp Library, which, with a splendid addition t.•• the funds of the permanent endowment of the college, constitute a monument more lasting than tablets of brass Tr is said that "tomorrow we fored those who yesterday passed on."

M In order te> keep in touch with actual conditions in our Sunday schools and churches, it is necessary to make frequent tours of the various islands. It was my good fortune to have made the circuit of East Maui in the early part of September with Rev. R. B. Dodge, the agent of the Hawaiian Board, and Rev. E. B. Turner of Paia. A few days spent in Wailuku made a delightful prelude to the tour. On Saturday, Sept. 4th, I set out on the trip, my destination that evening being Kanaio. An interesting break in the afternoon's ride was the witnessing of the launching of a large Japanese fishing boat at Kihei. The whole population was on the bead to see the proudly-bedecked craft glide. Kanaio was reached by star-light and a cordial welcome awaited me at the home of Judge Guy S. Goodness. The next morning a Communion service was held in the church anel tho the attendance was not large the meeting was most helpful. Later in the morning; I held a Communion service at Ulupalakua and baptized six persons. Judge Goodness interpreted my sermon there and at Makena in the afternoon for another Communion service where I baptized four more persons. Quite a large number were at the latter service, having awaited our arrival since the closing of the Sunday school hour in the morning. After this Makena meeting 1 rode through the Kula district to the home of Mr. J. W. Fleming of Makawao and it was good to receive a warm welcome from these friends after a few hours of riding in the dark and rainynight along strange roads. Monday morning Messrs. Dodge, Turner ar| d I met at Makawao and our joint tour was now in full swing.

Tt is well worth the trouble and trivial inconveniences. Our night in the Craigalea house and morning along the rim of the crater and crossing through to the Kaupo gap were passed without special incident, and the Katipo church was reached shortly after the hour appointed for our service there. The people refreshed us with sweet oranges and seemed pleased to see the travel-stained riders. We could not make a long stay with them but it was long enough to talk over certain matters.

The result has been the great work performeel by the Mission Children in Hawaii —a development of what evidently is to be the final missionary work in each group of the Pacific Islands, the work of transforming new non-Christian populations crming into the islands. So Hawaii seems to have a mission like that of the Lnited States. The latter country began with the best population of Europe, the Puritans, the Covenrnters and the Hugenots that it might become subseejuently a school for enlightening and evangelizing the worst populations of Europe coming to America, as well as a radiat'ng center for inflicnccs on the rest of the world. Hawaii received of the best people of the world, for such were our missionary fathers, and now, non-Christian populations coming into Hawaii are to be enlightened and evangelized.

But as I knew that Mr. Walkup had been in Honolulu in the meantime, with his new Hiram Bingham, I hoped you might have hear from him about my press, which he bi ought down as far as Butaritari where it has been these last four months. Y-iii may be surprised that I did not e>rder my press through the American Board. At the time T sent the order (April, 1908), I fully expected to pay for it myself, and did not wish anything tc prevent its coming. Therefore I sent the order direct to the manufacturers, and hence Mr. Wiggin and the American Board did not know about it. When the notice of your gift came, I sent an additional order to the Board for book binding materials, etc.. using the extra $25.00 as my first order only amounted to about $100.00. I hope both the press and this additional order will soon arr*ve.

This book contains a series of lectures elelivered by a noted pastor before the Johns Hopkins Meelical School on a subject which now occupies so large a place in Christian thought. The title might be improved, bin the book is full of sound common sense, readable as a novel and a real inspiration to health, emphasizing the possibility and the duty of utilizing more fully the patient's inner spiritual energies in the treatment of disease. It is not a call to blind faith, but a faith grounded in God's clear purposes. "(iod wills health for us. It is not God's will that any one of us should suffer." Pain is not a punishment, but a friendly monitor. "It is both foolish and wicked to endure ill health and disease so long as there is any hope or means of cure." "People must be taught not to give up to sickness but to resist it just as they resist sin."

T., NOVEMBER, 1909 Vol. LXVI Honolulu's Triumph. "Ten thousand dollars in ten days" was the motto of Honolulu United in its campaign for the new Y. M. C. A. building. $1.'57.7:?7 was the record achieved after six days of joyous effort, when the movement was declared officially closed. Since then other gifts have come in, raising the total amount contributed to $144,000.25. This added to the $50,000 given by the late Charles M. Cooke makes a grand total of $194,-000.25. This sum is adequate to all the needs of Honolulu's Y. M. C. A. building for the next generation. The campaign opened Monday evening, October 11. with a banquet at the Young Hotel, where some 226 men gathered to hear Governor Frear, former Governors Dole and Carter, Judge Woodruff and Sec30.00 retary Super outline the proposed cam880.10 paign.

Kalihi Settlement ivohala Girls' School Salaries Ministerial Relief No. 11 The Outcome. The result is bound to have a very large influence upon our people. Already a different tone is apparent here. For some time it has been evident that a deepening spiritual undercurrent lias been characterizing the life of this city. It needed a movement of the sort just consummated to bring this to the surface. It behooves every earnest man in Honolulu to add his influence to the rising tide of serious thought and purpose. People are thinking more of others. Unselfish service is in the air. Great wealth has come to this community and it is felt that if this be wasted in luxuries, or mere pleasures, or for selfish purposes of larger acquisition, Hawaii will miss its opportunity and prove false to its destiny. Our people are becoming more and more conscious every day that God wants to use this Territory for World Ends, that we have no right to live to ourselves here, and that in order to influence Asia and America we must make our wealth tell for the highest ideals now before the human race. That is the meaning of the founding of the Mid-Pacific Institute in three years with an endowment in property and in productive investment of more than $300,000. when to our most conservative business men the thought of establishing the institution, even in a halting fashion, seemed chimerical. That is the explanation of our new Palama General and Children's Hospitals, of Palama Settlement's unprecedented growth, of the completed Salvation Army Home, of the new Methodist Church, and now of this astounding one week's canvass. These are only the beginnings of what God means Honolulu to attempt and to achieve. Asia and America are yet to learn what the Great Artificer of History had in mind when He carved out of Paganism in one generation the first modern Christian state outside of Europe and America. It is- well for us to cherish golden conceptions of Hawaii's �November, 1909 4 THE FRIEND destiny. It is well for us to plan to educate in Americanism Christian leaders for Asia, to bring the best of both continents together in mutual sympathy and fellow understanding here in God's earthly Assembly most hospitable journals on both sides Room. Yellow us of on may prate of war the Pacific, but it is Hawaii's part to make such fratricidal conflict forever impossible. Let the devotees of physical strenuousness believe that by rendering Oahu impregnable they are doing this, and hence persuade the Nation to transform our fair Island into a Gibraltar. It is our nobler part to erect here a spiritual Gibraltar with armament of loving service that shall render a Pacific Ocean war unthinkable. This mighty conception and ambition are certainly taking vital hold of the mind, conscience and will of our people. Let the good work go on! Prince Ito. The entire civilized world sympathizes with Japan in the terrible news of the assassination of her leading statesman, Prince Hirobumi Ito. The loss affects mankind both because the Prince was one of the greatest of living public servants and because such a death is another mournful testimony to the prevalence of the spirit of lawlessness among men. It will take decades certainly to educate the people of all lands to enthrone law in their hearts. Human taw itself must conic to be synonymous with love before this triumph will he achieved. Prince Ito's life has been one of distinguished service to his nation, which he has consistently advised to live in friendship with its sister powers. While not in advance of his office-bearing fellow countrymen in his private life, his public career was unstained and he grew steadily in devotion to higher ideals of statesmanship. His crowning work was done in and for Korea, for he seems to have been animated with the lofty purpose of governing that dependency for the good of its people and not as a field of exploitation for selfish Japanese. It is too early to estimate the wide extent of his influence and the lasting nature .of his public services, but we are inclined to believe that when all is known and told Prince Ito will stand out as the greatest statesman of the Meiji era. As a man he was singularly approachable, affable and democratic in manner. A member of the Vale Alumni Association of Japan because of the honorary degree conferred upon him by Vale at its bicentennary, he was wont to say that it was one of the proudest moments of his life when he was privileged to receive his doctorate of laws on the same occasion with President Roosevelt, whom he greatly admired. Our deepest sympathy is with Japan and with poor Korea in this sad calamity. Jl Meat. If any denizen of this planet desires to become a vegetarian let him come to Honolulu, for in that case he will have all the power of the local meat trust to help him. Certainly the baleful effect of trust control and trust methods is clearly reflected in the local meat situation. On the mainland the so-called dressed beef monopoly never .dreamed of controlling the trade methods of the local sellers of meat. They demanded and secured the wholesale meat business of a large part of the United States but left it to the local butchers to cater to the varying demands and needs of private families. This was wise because there is a multitude of individual preferences as to cuts of meat, hours when meals with meat shall be served, times of day when meat delivery is most desired, convenience of payment, whether cash when buying or by monthly settlement, and the like. Some butchers find success in making no deliveries and carrying no accounts, their trade coming to them because of the much lower price at which they can sell for cash and directly into the hand of the purchaser. Others do a good business by precisely the opposite course. The great meat packers by keeping out of retail trade wisely give full scope to the requirements of these individual preferences. Therefore though now and then there is a howl against them as monopolies, the really great benefit they render by furnishing better and often cheaper meat to the people confers upon their enterprise the character of a genuine public service. Steadily the public by stricter government oversight is compelling the trusts to act more justly and in time the vast economies of these establishments which are regulated by Federal supervision and directed by the spirit of fairness to employes will come to minister nothing but good to the nation. In Honolulu, however, the meat trust, not content with a monopoly of the wholesale business, has invaded the retail trade, which it conducts with what seems to some persons a disregard of private preference. Again and again within the last few years parties have endeavored to open meat-shops whose motto should be the accommodation of customers, but they have been unable to compete with the trust. The impression created by the retail department of the local trust upon not a few small buyers is one of contempt for their fads or desires. If a family dines at twelve, finding that hour hygienically better, it is impossible to have meat delivered in certain parts of Honolulu near the center of town in time to be cooked. Naturally a great trust cannot cater to individual tastes. That is the part of a retail seller, who gets his profit by so doing. Our meat trust rides rough shod over all these delicate human differences because it is bound to have all the profit, wholesale and retail, that meat-selling will yield. The result is that less meat is sold here. This doubtless is a hygienic good, though secured by unsocial and exasperating means. Meantime a trade that white Americans would be glad to cultivate is made impossible, many people are constantly and needlessly offended, and the day is hastened when cheap freights from the Coast will make Honolulu a glad market for mainland dressed meat. The remedy is simple. Let the meat trust encourage small markets whose profit will come from serving families to the kind of meat they want and at the time they desire, markets that will cultivate a habit of accommodation instead of the spirit too often suggested by our present meat purveyors—"lf you don't like our way, go elsewhere, even though in order to get what you want you have to move out of the Territory." Such a spirit is not good promotion policy. �November, THE FRIEND, 1909 The Shokin Ginko. The Yokohama Specie Bank, or Shokin Ginko, has issued a very attractive appeal in English for local business. This aggressive corporation has built itself up into one of the great banking institutions of the world with branches in many leading cities. It rather shames Americans who are just beginning to develop an international bank. It has shown a fine commercial spirit in erecting one of the most beautiful and substantial business buildings in Honolulu, where it will have the handsomest housing of any local bank. Its plea for a larger constituency by the promise of st/o per cent, interest on head office time deposits, is a strong one though complicated by its exchange feature. It will be interesting to watch this new development of international competition. Meantime we congratulate our Japanese friends upon this further evidence of their progressive spirit. Jt Orient and Occident. It used to be thought that one of the differences between East and West was the unchanging spirit and conservatism of the Orient as contrasted with the readiness of the Occident to adopt the new. It looks as though the Twentieth Century might have not a little to say against such a hasty generalization. Habit is strong everywhere and in many things, small as well as great, the West hates to change as well as the East. Witness the Torrens system of title registration. This originated in Australia, a habitless place where it was easy to atart with the best. Japan, up to that time one of the most habit-bound sections of the globe, adopted it at the time when it decided to introduce every improvement it could find. The United States, however, itself a fairly young and habit-free nation, has been wrestling with this reform idea for nearly two decades with very slight success. China, the hopeless old man of a generation ago, has startled the world by breaking a social habit of centuries and freeing the feet of its women. The next twenty years are likely to re-picture this nation as one of the most agile and youthful of reformers. A rather timid evidence of American conservatism in the realm of trade, where we are supposed to catch on to new ideas more quickly man all other peoples, is afforded by our laundries, which cling to the antiquated, disfiguring and not to say nasty habit of marking all garments with hideous indelible black ink. ofttimes ruining a delicate fabric by carelessly planting the repulsive hieroglyphics where they will show the most, and this in face of the Chinese laundryman's effective, clean and up-to-date method of attaching tiny removable slips of marked cloth to each piece. Why Honolulu white man's laundries so stubbornly refuse to adopt such a good thing it, is hard to toll. Enough other instances might be given to show that no race has a monopoly either of all the best things of earth or of the spirit that hastens to rid itself of the lesser for the greater good. Ji Thank You. Thk Friend has been passing through some delightful experiences of late and is glad to acknowledge many kindnesses and an unusual number of thoughtful words and deeds. From far away on the mainland the message has come from a gentleman who has never visited Hawaii and has no connections here, "I look for The Friend the first of my periodical mail and read it with delight, from cover to cover." That is very generous praise, for which we are deeply grateful. Recently tidings came from Kona that a reader of a recent Friend was so moved by the picture of the needs there that a subscription of $500 for the Hawaii Ministers' Aid Fund and of $200 for the local work was sent at once to the Baker family. Hurrah !! More recently, a busy business man of this city spoke of the September issue as a splendid piece of work which he was forced to read from beginning to end. Our Business Manager is rejoicing over an advertisement pressed upon him because of his appreciation of the value of our Y. M. C. A. number. Thank you, friends. It is very good to hear these thoughtful greetings. We will try, with your help, to be more and more worthy of your friendship. 5 Another Summoned. It was always a joy to meet Gorham Dummer Gilman. His middle name suggested the noble Colonial Governor and Massachusetts oldest surviving academy, linking him with a fine historic past. Patriot blood of Gorhams and Gilinans and other sturdy stocks flowed in his veins. Thus he was born for service, and that which he rendered Hawaii was unselfish, fruitful and continuous to the very end of his life. During the past few years the writer has received many letters from him, all breathing devotion to the highest interests of this Territory. Coming hither when still within his teens, he learned as a mere youth to love the Islands. He was a marked man here from the first, winning success by his hard work and ability, and drawing to himself friends of every race through his gentle, manly character. Later in life, when called upon to represent Hawaii as Consul-General in Boston, he was true both to native Ilawaiians and the whites. His aloha for this Territory led him to champion its interests most widely and to serve very effectively as an interpreter to the American public both of its many races and its peculiar problems. He discerned the great importance of Hawaii's being well represented at the Lake Mohonk Conferences and was one of the influential members of that unique feature of mainland social life. Mr. Gilman was a man of very wide experience and sympathy. In California he was a "Forty Eighter" and never wavered in his interest in the Golden State. When the war broke out his patriotic services were such that later on he became naturally one of the original charter members of a G. A. R. post. He loved his country enough to devote time to his civic duties and served his city as councilman and alderman and his state as representative and senator. He was a member of several fraternal orders and received the honors conferred therein upon fruitful performance of duty. He did not excuse himself, as so many do, from carrying a man's responsibilities as a religious being, but honorably did his part here as elsewhere. He was a trusted, working member of the great Eliot Congregational Church of Newton, leading a Bi- �November, THE FRIEND. 6 ble class therein for more than a quarter century. At the same time, he was a friend of the Y. M. C. A.from its foundation in his town and served it as president three terms. It is needless to add that he succeeded in business and rose to high position in various commercial organizations. An ardent lover of the people, he championed the cause of direct popular government by endeavoring to save to Newton its town meeting, but was defeated in this by the city movement. That he was right is the verdict of the many lovely towns which give to Boston the proud title of the most beautifully environed city of America. The record of this long life tells the story of "well done, good and faithful servant." Mr. Gilman lived widely, tried to do his whole duty, achieved a splendid record, kept at work' under a full head of steam until he reached the fine age of 87 years, and has gone to the larger life, a noble alumnus of Mother Earth, well fitted for the career upon which he is now entering. JI Our Library Alcove. This new niche in the home of The Friend will be under the supervision of Mr. Ernest J. Recce. who will, from month to month, direct its embellishment. For some time we have felt the need of a literary editor in constant touch with books and possesing not only the necessary time but also the equipment both of sympathy with the treasured thought of the ages and the power to interest others therein. We are fortunate in securing for this happy task Mr. Recce, who as Librarian of Cooke Library in Oahu College is kept in constant touch with the best and the newest books. Mr. Recce had mainland experience as librarian before coming to Honolulu, two years ago. A graduate of Western Reserve University and for two years a student in Oberlin Theological Seminary, he has had a wide training, which, added to his literary ability, give him especial fitness for the role which he now assumes on our Editorial Board.

While here he addressed an assembly of the Buddhist priests stationed in this Territory, in which he made the following points: the wide influence of the local Buddhist priest, the heavy responsibility which this entails, the secret of the fruitful discharge of this responsibility, namely, the inculcation of love for Hawaii, of honest industry, of loyalty to the highest interests of these Islands, and of identification with the best in the life of the people here. That the Buddhist priesthood in Hawaii needed this advice is (dear to anyone who has become acquainted with the work of not a few of these religions leaders, who have seemed to study how best to keep alive in the hearts of their countrymen devotion to Japan at the cost of closer assimilation with Americans and their national ideals. Count Otani's address ought to mark an era in this Territory. If instead of being taught how to seek to transplant' to our shores a bit of Japan, these imitative people are urged to study our ways and to come into close touch with our spirit, they will soon overcome unreasoning race prejudice. We believe that the Count's advice will have large influence in this direction. D. S. A TRIBUTE TO THE HON. GORHAM D. GILMAN. The Boston Evening Transcript of Oct. 4 devoted an entire column to the life record of her distinguished citizen, the lamented Gorham D. Gilman. From this we quote the references to Mr. Gilman 's relations with Hawaii: "Mr. Gilman went to Honolulu, and there, in 1841, he began a clerkship for a business firm and at once began to learn the language of the country. "He made the acquaintance of King Kamehameha 111., and of four kings who succeeded him, including King Kalakaua, also Queen Kapiolani and the present dethroned Queen Liliuokalani. Mr. Gilman received from these various royal personages many decorations and gifts: His mastery of the native language was so easily accomplished that he became very proficient, and his translation of an Important United States . waii for the United States His association there with the other seekers after wealth •ntltled him to membership in the organization of California pioneers, and in later years he was vice president of that association. Returning to Hawaii in the spring of 1849. Mr. Gilman continued as a merchant there until 1861, when he returned to the United States. He moved with his family to Newton in 1865, having established the drug business in Boston with his brothers, John A. and Samuel K. Gilman. He bought a residence on Baldwin street, which he continued to occupy up to the time of his death. "Soon after moving there Mr. Gilman took an active part in local affairs. His house became the meeting place of leaders of the Republican party thereabout. An earnest worker in Eliot Congregational Church, Mr. Gilman was early identified with that religious body. In the Sunday school he was for more than a quarter of a century leader of a Bible class. When the Newton Y. li. C. A. was founded thirty-two years ago Mr. Gilman was prominent in the movement. He was its second president and occupied the chair for three years. He originated the plan of distributing Thanksgiving dinners to the poor under the association's auspices, which was followed successfully for many years. "When Newton became a city In 1874 he was one of those who strongly opposed the idea. It was his belief that it could better be divided into two towns, one to be called Newton and the other Nonantum. He was always a firm believer In the town form of government, although later he became a member of the City Government, serving as councilman and alderman. He declined reelection, but later was the successful candidate for representative, being in the Legislature two terms, 1889 and 1890. The next two years he was elected to the State Senate, retiring from that body Just before he became Hawaiian Consul in 1893. During his service in the Legislature Mr. Gilman was Instrumental in securing the passage of a measure prohibiting railroads from issuing passes to members of the Legislature, and ordering the publishing of monthly statements of the expenses of the committee permitted to travel. "His appointment to the position of Consul General at the overthrow of the monarchy was due in part to his long residence in Hawaii and his intimate acquaintance with the principals on the field of political strife in the islands. When he lived there his home was visited by many distinguished travellers. "When Queen Kapioiani visited Boston in 1887, Mr. Gilman was resident interpreter (Continued on Page 21) �THE FRIEND.

A business man recently expressed surprise at the large number of young women who had come to Honolulu in the last six months. We are accustomeil to hear surprise expressed at the large number of young men who are starting life in Honolulu. "This is a young man's town." And so it is; but it is none the less a young woman's town. The recent splendid campaign in behalf of commodious headquarters for our young men has called special attention likewise to the claims of our young women for a modern Y. W. ('. A. building. Such a building is elsewhere considered as great a necessity as one for the young men. Do our young men need physical exercise? So do our young women. Are classes of instruction more valuable for young men seeking a livelihood than for young women who are also seeking employment I Are the social needs of young men more to be considered than those of young women :' Our young men come to Honolulu as strangers, away from home. So do many of our young women. There are pitfalls for our young men, especially in Honolulu. We regret to say that the same is true for our young Women. The whole community will get an uplift if our young men are provided with facilities for wholesome recreation and companionship. Not unless our young women get an equivalent uplift, however. A Modern Institution. Well, we have a Y. W. C. A. already. Yes. and we are grateful for what we have in that line. But is it enough? Does it adequately meet the needs of our young women? Can those needs be adequately met until we have a building adapted to modern conditions and so equipped as to furnish the natural center for the physical, social, and spiritual development of our increasing contingent of young women? Honolulu is growing rapidly. Its future is to depend largely on our young people. The facilities soon to be offered to our young men in the proposed Y. M. ('. A. building will help to compact them and to turn their activity and enthusiasm into channels of municipal advantage. But what is to be done for our young women .' They are as vital to the futore of our city as our young men ; and they need adequate facilities to bring them together, and to develop possibilities among them such as can be secured best only in an accessible, amply equipped, modern institution that shall be a worthy companion to the forthcoming Y. M. C. A. building. J More Than a Vision. We believe that in good time a central Y. W. C. A. building will be erected in this city that will be an honor to the generosity of our citizens. The time may not be ripe for it yet. The want is real enough even now. But it may be well to wait awhile. That is. before any concerted plan is pushed to procure the necessary land and funds. Meanwhile it is a good thing for us to be thinking about it. Such good causes oftentimes get their initial impetus through the generosity of a single individual. Visions become realities very easily. Some day we shall have the great satisfaction of chronicling the gift of a splendid site for a $100,000 Y. W. C. A., or the initial gift by someone of $25,000 toward a Y. W. ('. A. building. Honolulu is not a city to be behind-hand in such a vital enterprise as this. Let our College Club have an afternoon sometime on: What Is Being Done for Young Women in Our Progressive Cities? Let our Christian women look the field over and realize the need. Let some mother who wants to do for young womanhood the best that can be done through an amply equipped Y. W. C. A. begin the agitation in a quiet way. We may not be quite ready to start any subscription 7 lists yet, but it is high time we began thinking about the matter, and none too soon to begin talking about it. .2* That Mandolin. The Scribe has looked in vain for any appearance of that mandolin in his Corner. Oh, DO; he does not want it for himself, for he wouldn't know what to do wilh it except to give it to a hardworking Hawaiian pastor, musically inclined, who knows how to make a dumb thing speak, and would get great comfort from a mandolin, as many another would from a piano, at the (dose of the day's work. Besides, owing to an accident, this Hawaiian minister is partially blind. He loves books, which he reads in English, but his eyesight limits him in these directions, and a mandolin would help to while away some weary hours. He is a faithful preacher and pastor, and there is no danger that a mandolin would spoil him. If anyone thinks it would, why. then, let him substitute a violin. Our friend can play that, too. Only let him have some musical instrument to delight his soul, as the Psalmist delighted himself on a Who will spare a mandolin or guitar or violin or a small organ? What a joy would be added to his home by such a gift ! stringed instrument. Jl Riches Of Their Liberality. Our Hawaiian churches are certainly first kin to the churches of Macedonia, whose contributions so won the applause of Paul in his report to the Corinthian church. "Though they were tried by many a trouble, their overflowing happiness, and even their deep poverty, resulted in a flood of generosity." Twentieth Century Version. One of the most significant features at the meeting of the Oahu Association at Waianae was the report of the acting pastor of that church that they had raised over $800 among themselves for the building of a new meeting-house. The patient self-denial of these people touched the hearts of their visiting brethren, and nearly $200 was added to the fund. It was gladly given. There was the same note of overflowing happiness that once stirred the apostolic Christians. �8 THE FRIEND November, 1909.

While the men of the church were all absorbed this past month in the now famous Y. M. C.

It has been a long time since so large a number of the ladies of Central Union were united in one movement as there have been in the preparations now all but completed for this Bazaar. The following list of committees indicates something of the scope of the work and the amount of material that is being collected for this sale: Fancy Work —Mrs. Z. K. Myers, chairman. Dolls—Mrs. E.

The ladies have several matters of vital importance which they hope to accomplish with the proceeds of the sale, and incidentally, but by no means the leasl valuable result of the Bazaar, as already intimated, will be the deeper, more general interest in the Church on the part of a large number of ladies, members as well as non-members of the Church.

Since the completion of the Parish House this class has grown in numbers and interest until now it is a sight worth coming to sec any Sunday morning—nearly a hundred of these little "Sunbeams" taking part in the various concert exercises and joining in their sweet songs. While Mrs. Walker was still in charge, the class began to collect a fund to endow a bed at the new Children's Hospital. Mrs. Royal D. Mead, who succeeded Mrs. Walker as Superintendent, when the latter moved to Maui, took up the matter enthusiastically and recently launched a sale of "Sunbeam Stamps', to complete the fund. These stamps are being sold at 2 cents each to the merchants, to place upon all packages sent out between now and Christand to everyone who will buy then to put on their letters.

In this series of five moderate-sized volumes we find an entirely new method of presenting the functions of the human body.

Some of the distinctive features of the book are: the new The ideal of education the world over and bast method of artificial respiration, so is the same,—the development of cat simple that children can use it In rescuing in every school-room to the individual one from drowning; the water treatment of greatest possible efficiency so that ca :li burns until the doctor comes; the importance of shutting doors and windows in case may give effective service throughout of tire, so as to stop draughts; and the need life. of familiarizing children with the use of anwhat, I tiseptics. In Town and City. In "Town and City," children are taught the Importance of clean water, clean streets, and pure milk, and the dangers from overcrowded houses, and from contagion, especially from tuberculosis. The Body at Work. "The Body at Work" tells about circulation and digestion, and how each bodily function may be kept In healthy action. Control of Body and Mind. The last of the series, "Control of Body and Mind." gives instruction in the use of the senses and the nervous system. "The relation of health to efficiency and mental clearness," the Influences from worry, fear, anger, hope, and Joy upon the circulation and digestion, control of one's self by means of attention, choice, and habit, are some of the subjects discussed. In each book the damage wrought by alcohol is discussed. In "Good Health," it is considered in its general relations to health; in "Emergencies," as a factor in injuries ami accidents; Equality of Opportunity. Great undeveloped resources abound in every land and clime. In no land perhaps is this more true than in the United States. And of all the undeveloped resources of every nation, there is one more valuable than all others which nature provides, one which if developed carefully will bring the greatest return and which if undeveloped often brings the greatest distress. This great undeveloped resource is the people themselves, far more important than the resources of the soil, or any other 01 nature's gifts. The development of the people of any country, and particular!) of those commonly considered lowest in the social scale, the neglected and unfortunate, is of first importance. These latter arc often the very foundation ol some of our society. In the study ol life itself we cannot give undue attention to certain men or classes of nun and neglect others. The few rich do not make a rich community: the few well-trained do not make an intelligent community: the few strong and well do not' make a healthy community: the �November, THE FRIEND. 1909 few honest business men do not make an honest community: the few mora' and virtuous do not make a moral and a virtuous community. The ideal community is not attained unless all art- well-to-do. well-trained, healthy, hon- est, moral and virtuous. Not only the few. but the great mass must be brought up to the same level if not in all ways, at least in some. We have to estimate the so-called common people in giving an estimate of our civilization. Tb more a community takes great pride in and parades its few, the less it considers the middle class and still less the ver\ pi Mir. Just as the strength of every chain is only the strength of its weakest link, so must any state of civilization be measured by its weakest factors. To estimate a community by the attainments of the few is to be untrue and unAnicri.can. Every man must be considered of as much importance as his fellow, be he rich or poor, strong or feeble, Equality of opskilled or untrained. portunity is the watchword of modem times. It is not fair to judge of a man's capacity unless he has had the opportunity to develop that capacity. To estimate aright we must see men as they are, not as we think they ought to be, not as we wish they were, not as the blind see them, not even as they sec themselves, but we must estimate them in the light of the opportunities they have had and the way they have met those opportunities. Results alone could never determine a man's capacity. Now the application to the school. A scTiool is effective not as it develops the few, not as it brings out an occasional star pupil who takes all the prizes and is the delight and pride of his teacher not as it develops those who arc eager to learn, not as it sends on a few to college, but its real effectiveness lies in its development of the whole body ol pupils and more particularly of those who seem hopeless as pupils. It is effective as it develops the pupil who does not care to learn, who has no enthusiasm, who cares far more for tooths or marbles than for arithmetic. A school is effective as it develops those who havi no hope of going to college, and evei of those who have no particular hope or ambition in life, those who arc content simply to let the sun shine am whose highest idea seems to be to let each day pass by with as little effort a? possible. Thus the school is effective that brings out the best in the boys am girls. How diversified are the class that confronts a teacher! The sons and daughters of the educated, the refined. the well-to-do, the healthy, the moral, the virtuous, and for their class-mates the children of the ignorant, the poor, the tecble in mind and the feeble in body, the immoral, the depraved, and all the various grades between Now the true test of efficiency is not how tb school teaches the former class, but the real test is whether it trains the child of the ignorant to be studious, whether it makes he son of the poor man capable of becoming well-to-do. whether it strengthens the body and mind of the weak, whether it inculcates honesty in the children of the dishonest, whether it develops virtue and morality in the children of the debased and the outcast. N( teacher will be effective until he recognizes that the most ragged, dirty, and ignorant child of his worthless neigbbo has just as good a right to the best edu cation the school affords as his own cb" or the child of the richest patron of th' The Teacher's Responsibility. I know that we shall all say that we do not neglect any pupil in the school. school. Rut I fear the Principal often hears his teachers confess that time spen' upon certain pupils is wasted, that the class suffers, that certain pupils can never learn and that it does not pay t try longer with them. What shall I do with the pupil who wont study? What can I do with the pupil who will not pay attention? What can 1 do with that hoy for nothing can penetrate his head? So and so will not study and I can't afford to spend more time on him- How often the Principal hears these sayings, how often he feels these thoughts himself! But it is only as the teacher gets away from such thoughts and sees tremendous possibilities in every chil sees the soul of every pupil that must be saved, realizes that every mind in the room is as precious in the sight of God as every other, only as these thoughts grow and become a part of a teacher can he become efficient as he ought. Ilmv many teachers go into teaching because they can find nothing else to do. or because they think it easy, with its short terms and long .summer, or because it pays better than something else, or because it makes a good stepping stout to other situations. So long as teaching remains this or a matter of dollars and cents, so long will teaching be a farce and unproductive of good results. Nay. more, unless every teacher has in his or her heart a thorough love for the worl and an abiding love and faith in each and every pupil wdio comes under his 13 or her care, unless the teacher can feel that each child is as important and fa more important perhaps than she her self is or can be, unless she can see in each pupil, black or white, brown or yellow, the possibilities of a great future, then it would be far better for such an one to leave teaching to the more efficient workers who possess these qualities. If every man is the equal of every other in the eyes of God, must not every man be equal to every other in the eyes of the Commonwealth, must not every child of man be equal to every other cTiild in the eyes of the school? The most sacred thing in the Commonwealth and to the Commonwealth is the child. whether it be my child or yours, the child of our most important citizen or the child of the ignorant mother of the street. Her child may become a leader in the State. Within it arc the possibilities of good citizenship and of great usefulness. And each untrained cb 1 is a menace to this community. Some ol our strongest men arc those whose birth and early training have been without Tiopc whose childhood seemed devoid of promise. Is it not an inspiring thought each day as you look over fOUT little flock, to feel that somewhere in tltat number, perhaps in the dullest lx>> or girl, perhaps in the poorest scholar of all, there is that something which shall some day make him or her a far greater benefactor to mankind than you who arc today guiding him? Among the children of today are the great men and the great women of tomorrow. With us teachers lies the responsibility of helping these leaders. The measure of success of each pupil yi our class rooms today will be influenced largely with wh :b we perby tiic faithfuln form our daily tasks. If well, the results will be well: if poorly or halfheartedly, the little lives entrusted to us will be deprived of much of the inspiration that they ought to have had.' As we do our tasks day by day will determine largely the future of each pupil who comes under us. A tremendous responsibility but what a glorious one. That is the teachers' compensation. ' A Teacher's Day Dream. How often I close my eyes and see down the future Over 300 Hawaiian children placed in our charge. Among liieni are some who are to be the leadcis of the next generation. The inspiration the girls receive will make them better wives and mothers, better fitted in every way to influence the des- �14 tiny of their race. 1 see before me in the future lawyers, doctors, ministers, teachers, merchants, prosperous tanners, successful men in all the walks ot life, but most and best of all 1 see MEN. —boys grown into MEN bearing the inspiration received at school, livery teacher has the right to expect to see himself or herselt bvc again, reproduced on a higher and better scale in the lives of his pupils. Is this optimism, idealism ? It certainly is, but the teacher from the very nature ot his work is an optimist, an idealist, the dejected, the disappointed, the pessimist have no place in the list of teachers. Many occupy such positions but arc not teachers, but rather a reproach to the name. And is not our optimism based on reality? Look back over your own school-mates and if the tune is not too recent, you see that the boys and girls i * yesterday arc the men and women of today, men as leaders and women either as leaders in thought or co-leaders in the home? The growth of the mind of a child is a most interesting study, and to watcli this growth, to help it, to bend it to ou» .ill, to fashion it after our ideal, is our duty and privilege as teachers. Let every teacher remember, particularly those who have to do with the very young or very undeveloped that these little people probably have no really abstract or even general ideas of the impulses of life, of right or wrong, of quality and inequality, of justice and injustice. Nevertheless the child feels an injustice very keenly and this is the beginning of his understanding of the laws of justice. The child could not formulate any law of equality and yet by its tears, its cries, it- anger, its actions, it shows that it will not endure inequality. Here again is the beginning of the awakening ot the child. And the teacher must endeavor in every way to guide these expressions of a waking consciousness. Carefully must the nourishing be every day and day by day. Remember too that side by side with the instincts that we call good in every child are others developing with equal vigor which we call bad. Here is where the struggle w effort begins in the child. To choose becomes a necessity and the power to choose aright often requires the greater effort. The mother gets obedience from her cmTd in various ways, love, surprise, persuasion, entreaty, appeal, punishment. The teacher who takes the mothers place demands obedience. The child is in a new arena. His efforts to obey whether inspired by love, fear or hot'- THE FRIEND. November, is a constant expenditure of energy. Teachers are apt to forget that relaxation must come, not only to the body, but to the mind and even to the soui. Learn patience. Rosseau wrote, "Learn to lose time in order to gain patience. ' fatience. infinite care and patience, we arc all ready to give tv help bring a trad DOU back to health, bar greater patienct and effort is needed to bring the mil. and soul into right relations. The mind and the soul have their countless tetHi encics to be trained, their multitude oi thoughts good and had, the.r impressions received from all the senses, the watchfulness of the faults in others, the imitative quality in every child which makes him desire to copy what he sees; this daily and hourly receiving new grains of life, the thousand various minute acts and thoughts all acting upon his character; these must be trained. All these arc the minutely small things and may seen: 11 •mportant, bui ii:ey are the dust out of which the solid rock ot life is made. All these are in the hands of the teachers to fashion as they will. .No teacher can be all the master of all of his pupils but he has countless opportunities 'of sowing seed which will spring up in the child-life unseen and unknown, but yet become a very important part of the chilli's'character. Who ot us can tell what may result from a decision, even a half-formed one or one soon broken, made by a child even about some trifling matter! It may be the first decision or impulse in a long series leading to incalculable good; it may be the arresting of progress towards unknown evil. What we do know is, that no act can be done without leaving some trace, some influence either for good or bad which in its small way forms : part of the whole character and so influences the destiny of the doer and perhaps of others. "Our words and expressions create ripples of influence whose outer cyclings touch the shore: of eternity.'' Humility. Here is where the humility of the teacher's work enters in and at the same time its grandeur. Every child before a teacher has a character to be bun up which will be influenced rightly 0" wrongly whether we will or not by what we say and what we do, that is by what we are. Nothing ever brings so much real pain to my heart in my school-work as the knowledge that a teacher has lost control of himself or herself, that the 1001, face has become flushed with passion and the voice tremulous with anger. Incalculable harm results from one outburst that weeks of patient endeavor cannot fully efface. Of all persons tin teacher has the least excuse for so loosing control of herself or himself as to say unkind things or to express thoughts that in calmness they would be ashamed to express. All education aims to develop good conduct. And good conduct is not a single act, but a sustained scries of acts, not a result of chance, but of constant effort, not of the endeavor of a day, but of each day. Daily sustained effort finally results in morality and in it apparently without effort, because endeavor has become a part of our being and the natural expression of our lives. Firm Kindness. \\ c must not expect too much of our children. We do not expect men to remember those things which they have no time to learn or to think or hear about. So we teachers must not los patience at the lack of attention, forgetfulness, failure of our pupils, but rath study the individual mind of each pupil to sec how far it could naturally be expected to have advanced under all tb. influences of its daily life. How often we fail to pay attention where attention is due and yet how we blame our pupils for their lack of attention. .Many a time the unkind word chills the pci tent child or checks a new developmcn in his life. I have never seen a school ruled by harshness that did not respond better to kindness. Eirmness and kindness go naturally together. 1 had rather take my chances on being too lenient than on being too strict. Of this 1 am sure that satire, ridicule, open severe criticism, have no place' in the schoolroom. Frank free conversation between the individual pupil and the teacher always helps tremendously. An open appeal can be made to a school but not an appeal to an individual before the school. Lack of tact on the part of the teacher often brings strained relations with the pupils. Many a principal has to spend much of his very valuable time in smoothing over differences between teachers and pupils. I confess that my sympathies are usually with the pupils and one of the hardest things that come to adjust are those differences where the sympathy is with the pupil and yet for the sake of the school and the teacher, the teacher must be supported nominally at least. �November, 1909 We must keep the horizon of each child broad and yet see that it is limited to his comprehension. We must indec point out to each child some point or limit, toward which he should strive and which he may attain. But we must be very careful that the child does not get the hought that there is nothing beyond that point or limit. Make him feel that the successful attaining of one civ. brings up another even more desirable. The greater the goodness, the greater the possibility for increased goodness; the nobler the character, the more the ways appear in which nobility of character can express itself: the better trained the child the more fields open an the greater the capacity for more advanced training. The Problem. How can the ideals of the teacher be realized? First she must become as ; child herself. She must look at life through the eyes of her pupils, but with that higher and clearer vision, whicl. while comprehending fully the child's conception, can place before him an ideal a little better than he has already Known, but still an ideal not too high not too remote. To teach successfully, the individual pupil must be studic and the ideal of each individual pupil raised a little. How to get at the ind:vidual pupil is the greatest problem for the teacher, for only as the teacher reaches the individual can she hope to help him. Only as the teacher learns to know her pupils mind, its acquirements, its power to acquire more, the rapidity of the mind to assimilate, -and its natural tendencies, can she hope to help train his power and lead him in the ways of getting greater knowledge. It is far less important to give the child a mass of information than it is to train the mindto pay attention, to concentrate itself upon the subject in hand. The mere getting of information is unimportant, the real neet' is the forming of good habits of thought the giving the power to concentrate the mind upon a study with the same intentness that it will listen to the detai's of a thrilling tale of adventure, and also the gaining the habit of constantly expressing itself orally and by written work. To arouse enthusiasm in a class, you must bring it with you into the classroom : the pupils will not supply it, but they are very ready to respond. From some class-rooms the pupils generally emerge with lagging steps and slow; out of others with wide-awake enthusiasm. All teachers have enthusiasm but all do THE FRIEND. 15 not sustain it day by day. The lack of bounds. This is the ease at present in it always reacts upon the pupils. Central and West Maui.

PERLEY L. HORNE. PROGRESS ON MAUI. At times it seems as if all our Maui Churches went forward by leaps and At Spreckclsville on Oct. 10th, a pretty Church was dedicated and the ecclesiastical organization with twentythree charter members completed. Mr. A. J. Kaleikini has been holding services at the club-house for nmnths, and in an incredibly short time succeeded with his people in raising in actual cash over $425.00. About $450.00 was donated by the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company, which also furnished materials and labor at lowest figures, so that an unusually attractive building was erected at small cost. On the day of organization and dedication special trains were run from Wailuku and Paia, with the result that the Church building could not hold all the people who wished to attend. Rev. Mr Waltrip preached a strong sermon upon the subject "Workers Together with God." while Rev. Mr. Turner brought the greetings of the sister Churches to the new organization. Revs. Kaumeheiwa, Nawahine and Dodge had other parts in the program, while Hon. �16 H. P. Baldwin presented the keys and made some very fitting remarks in Hawaiian to the Church and congregation. Mr A. J. Kaleikini led his people in a beautiful service of dedication of the building, which service had been printed in Hawaiian. The present of pulpit chairs and communion service by Hon. H. P. Baldwin, and a pulpit Bible by Mr. William Keanu. complete the equipment of the Church property. Mr. Job K. Manase, the son of Rev. H. Manase. has been cordially received by the members of the Kahakuloa and Honokohau Churches on West Maui. and be has begun a ministry that promises to he a very fruitful one. He is hard at work in the parish, but gets time once a week to come to Wailuku and carry on special studies with the Board's Agent. His predecessor, Rev. Geo. M. Kauaulalena. has begun work in the Makena district, where the three churches have long been vacant because of the death of the much-loved Rev. [altera. The old Keokea Church has taken on a new lease of life under the leadership of the licentiate, Mr. J. M. K. Keaoililani. The Ministers' School. The Monthly Ministers' School continues to be well attended with about twenty ministers, licentiates, and a few others, who are leaders in Church work. The hist meeting was held at Paia. and a deep interest in all the work of the day was manifested. The sermon outlines by Messrs. Waltrip, Kaleikini and Manase were all upon the same text. Which had been studied by the other members before the meeting. For the Sunday School department, Rev. Mr. Turner spoke upon "The Third and Fourth Missionary Journeys of St. Paul." The theological part of the daywas in charge of Mr. Dodge, whose topic was "The Use of the Bible in Our Theological Study." Rev. Mr. Burnham presented some excellent studies in catechetical instruction. All the work of the day, with the exception of a single outline, was mimeographed. This method of having prospectuses printed in both languages, so that permanent reference may be kept by the members of the school, make the work month by month of lasting value. THE November, FRIEND, Ladies' Aid. The ladies of Wailuku Union Church held their annual meeting at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage the first of October, read reports and outlined the work for the coming year. The meeting was well attended and enthusiastic. A good balance was in the \ treasury from the previous year, and the Secretary's report showed a lot had been accomplished. Mrs. Dodge was elected President for the next year, Mrs. E. E. Battellc VicePresident. Miss Akiau On Tai Seere- 1909 tary and Treasurer, Mrs. D. H. Case Chairman of the Executive Committee. The above-named officers and Mrs. Frank Sommerfeld constituted the members of the Executive Committee. The meetings for the coining year are planned to be divided into literary, social and philanthropic. It was voted to help one or more girls, who wish to attend the Maunaolu Seminary, and also to help in securing supplies and better equipment for the Union Church Sunday School, which has developed rapidly into a flourishing department of the.

Of course it is right you should know, so we summon the Tomo to the witness stand. What have you to say for yourself, friend Tomo? Give us a sample of yourself in a language we can understand. What, for instance, was the subject matter of your leading editorial in September? Thank you; the subject of the leading editorial was The Cement Which Unites Americans and Japanese in Friendship. Recently when the delegation of business men from Japan was Welcomed at Seattle, representatives of both countries, in happy exchange of courtesies. declared that nothing should ever be allowed to mar the unique historic friendship between America and Japan. On the other hand, in the opinion of Congressmen who recently visited Hawaii, it would be better for the peace of the two countries if all the Japanese were sent out of Hawaii. Recently, also, a friend passing through Honolulu said to the writer, "The anti-Japanese agitators in California declare that the conditions in Hawaii are the best confirmation of their arguments." This is a subject worthy of our serious thought. Why should the Japan- of Hawaii become the subject matter of anti-Japanese arguments? It may be said that people are startled at the' preponderance of the Japanese population, or. again, that in point, of wages, especially in lines of work for which the Japanese seem specially adapted, it is difficult or impossible to compete with them. But the real reason lies deeper than this It is a question as to whether the Japanese are a people who are capable of being assimilated into the national life of America. When the Japanese, even those who have stores open to the street, pay no attention to the proprieties of dress, but. indifferent to American customs, wear clothing which allows the bare limbs to be exposed to view, what conclusion must be drawn from that! Again, children born here have the right to become American citizens. Americans can not help wondering whether in the Japanese private schools anti-American ideals are not being taught, and when they see the people bringing in such religious customs even as dancing at the festival of the dead, are not these things the seed of suspicion lest the Japanese are a people who can not be assimilated? America is taking in (as food) many thousands of emigrants every year. She must digest and assimilate them. If any portion proves to be a hard, mdi ese �November, 1909 THE FRIEND, gestible mass, she must spew them out of her mouth. Should not the Chinese be a warning to us? Certain things we regard as natural rights, and hence there is a tendency on the part of people to insist on having such rights granted. But we should remember that the decision of these questions rests not with the people, but with the representatives of both countries; while awaiting the results of their diplomacy, we should bear with patience the hardships and laugh away the inconveniences, mingling with the When the hour of opening arrived, the building was well filled; the front room with about a hundred and fifty Japanese men and children and the rear room with some fifty Delegates of the Association. The Hawaiian contingent formed the choir, singing in their usual good style a number of hymns, which proved such an attraction that soon the room and the veranda filled up with other Japanese, who stood throughout, people in true friendship. Recently, Mr. Miyagawa. speaking on the Solution of Japanese and American Problems, said, "The realization of the brotherhood of both nations is the best and most feasible method of bringing it about." That is a sentiment we heartily approve. Brotherhood is the marrow of Christianity. That is why the American people show this spirit first to us, and if we live by this principle, and both countries are bound together by the love of God. these troubles will cease and fifty years hence will see us united in happy relations. While we can not expect all the Japanese in Hawaii to become Christians, all thoughtful Japanese, personally fostering this spirit, will have their share in the work of cementing Japan and America in eternal friendship. Mr. F. S. Scudder and Mr. Gulick. The attention of the people was excellent, the addresses were to the point, and the interest aroused was evident. At the close of the meeting, Mr. Nakuina, as pastor of the Waianae Church, made a few remarks in which he expressed the interest of his people in the Japanese and their desire to open a Sunday School for the Japanese children. Altogether the meeting was a great success and gave a proof of the wonderful possibilities in our Island work if the Christians of various nationalities will unite in concerted effort. The Hawaiians of the present generation who have had the advantage of Christian homes are in a position to become real missionaries to these peoples of other lands who as yet do not know the blessedness of following Christ. The Association meeting as a whole was good. Considerable business was transacted in prompt order and without friction. Two able and helpful addresses were given, one by Mr. F. S. Scudder on Church Music, showing its possibilities; and one by Mr. H. P. Judd on Sunday School teaching. At the invitation of the Delegates from Kaumakapili Church it was voted to hold the April meeting in Honolulu J. P. E. in that Church. OAHU ASSOCIATION. An interesting feature of the Fall Association meeting, held at Waianae. was the special "-Lecture Meeting." as the Japanese express it. in the Japanese school-house.

Both of these men were very ready to give us every facility, the teacher going so far as to post our notices in the camps and prepare the building for us. BTe the whole meeting. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Erdman. and addresses were made by LETTER FROM PAIA. In July Rev. Frank Scudder and Mr. S Shimamori of the Japanese Y. M. C. A. in Honolulu preached four times in our Japanese Church in Paia. The average attendance was thirty and the meetings were most effectual and highly blessed. 17 Faithful advice is given by me to the countrymen in camps in order to cultivate the habit of cleanliness indoors and outdoors for themselves, and to be men and women of great civility as well as the most industrious laborers for plantations. About ten young students are studying English in our night-school. Up to the time of ending the sugar manufacturing, our Day Nursery had many children every day. But after finishing that work there are some seven or eight who are brought by their parents at 5 o'clock in the morning and go home after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. We have a social meeting most interesting, artless and pure once a month, but the comers are so few, owing to the need of a suitable institution, and this institution is highly desirable among the Japanese laborers, because their want of higher amusements in their circles naturally causes bad tendencies, both in their habits and circumstances.

The evening school for the study of English has increased in numbers. At present there are sixteen in the class.

True, there are monuments that are themselves dead and that tell the story of sentiments worse than dead. Such is the unfinished Greek temple whose uncrowned columns gape to the sky on Calton Hill at Edinburgh, silently chiding the city for a silly pride which spurned Scottish aid in erecting a memorial to all the Scots. Then there is a class of monuments which, although they commemorate momentous lives or events, stand unmoved and unresponsive to the throbbing world, like lyres with snapped strings. They look down majestically, serene in their signalizing of perhaps even human achievement speak a cold message—but can lend no hand. The stately shaft raised to the memory of Washington guards the eapitol. but is powerless to see that righteousness is enthroned in its halls. Monuments of the third order live. They tower as the created product of men's struggles and make themselves the instrument of human striving. They may be unlovely, as was the signature which scrawled itself ungracefully beneath an emancipation proclamation. They maybe unheralded, as was the labor of Marcus Whitman until, in reply to the statesman's assurance that "there could not be made a wagon road over the mountains," the heroic missionary said, "There is a road, for I have made it." It is before these living monuments that the twentieth century, small as is its regard for the past, feels justified in pausing—pausing not so much to revere as to pray—then to go forth and do. In the crater of Haleakala is a great flat stone in which all the lines marking the topographic divisions of East Maui are said to meet. The story is told that an engineer's party being led to the spot by a group of natives some years back, was stayed from stepping upon the rock until the gods of the re- — FRIEND gion could be suitably addressed and the taboo removed. The worship rendered to the stone and the practical service to which it is put are, of course, unconnected. Nevertheless, the situation suggests certain features of the-library. As an institution the library belongs lo the class of living monuments. It has wrought itself out of flesh and blood-Aztec and Indian. Chinese and Persian. Semite and Egyptian. Every course in it is instinct with life. Ages upon ages men labored to perfect a system of writing, evolving a code of symbols that began with mere tallying and progressed through picture writing, ideographs, phonograms, and syllabaries until a crowning conquest was reached in the invention of the alphabet. The people which finally conceived the idea of analyzing vocal expression and representing its elements with a limited number of symbols acieved no idle triumph, for it was an intellectual victory—a task to which many races had contributed and which could be consummated only as men found their way out of the mists of superstition and rgnorancc. Only less signal was the perfection of the material form of the book, as men passed from beads and (day cylinders to papyrus and parchment scrolls, and in time discarded all these for the volume made of folded paper. Here let it be suggested that the monument perhaps lacks its capital. We may hope for further perfection in our systems of writing, and men have yet to find a form of paper that shall assure the record of our civilization to distant ages. The grandeur of the living monument is that it glows. One has but to pause with a thought of these conquests as he mounts the broad steps of the Library of Congress or prowls about the dingy British Museum, to feel that he is in the presence of the most real of monuments. Wampum, clay prisms, scrolls, books, —all lie close to the hearts of men. Human effort has produced them. Human struggle is recorded in them. Human aspiration breathes from them, bidding him who came to gaze or to admire or to worship, to go forth and bear his part. There is no mockery and no coldness in this monument. Its hand is extended and its message thrills. November, 1909 In one other respect the library finds its counterpart in the sacred Hawaiian stone. It is a point of convergence. Here the lines of history meet. Divide our world as we will—chronologically, geographically, racially, mentally,—all knowledge assembles itself here. The prowess of Babylonian kings as told on clay tablets at Nippur, the gems of classical thought preserved in medieval monasteries, the records of modern discovery as exhibited in contemporary life—all are gathered to build the living monument. They establish a point of departure, but they know no taboo. Cor the personal library the comparison scarcely holds. Most men live perforce in one or two provinces, crossing into others as occasion demands or permits. Their books show it. The untutored bibliophile runs to bindings and first editions; the nature-loving Wordsworth finds his library in the mountains and the woods. Too many of us would shift the centre stone to our own prov- ince and disturb the equilibrium of the universe. What many have budded one may not overthrow, however, and the great rock stands uncndangered, pointed to by all and pointing to all. And so the good word monument has forsaken the way of many of its compeers. The downward pull affecting so large a part of our language, seems to have found its resistant. Instead of being degraded it has been ennobled. Prom meaning a mere memorial it has conic to connote human achievement. The true monument suggests no longer a tomb, but a medium of expanding life. And instead of standing as a mere obelisk, revered and unresponding, it becomes the servant of men. It sums up their thought and hopes, and bids them build further. This because it has been raised not as were the pyramids of old by hordes of human beings scarcely more sentient than the swarms of insects which formed our coral reefs but by intelligent human effort directed toward great ends.

Immediately after the convention of the .Maui Association, the Hawaii Association held their meeting at Laupahoehoe, from Sept. 22-24. The sessions were marked by the spirit of progress and optimism and the proceedings were expedited in the same manner as the "Aha Makua" and the C. E. meetings. There is no special item to be reported from any one school. The large majority of the schools seem to be doing faithful work, though there are some schools that need new life and new ideas. The reports from the district superintendents indicated that these men had been doing considerable travelling during the last six months. It seems to us that the number of these superintendents might very profitably be increased from four * i<;oo. the prospects for a fine new building are very bright.

T. R. The Mainland Side. Prohibition in Hawaii is also demanded for the good of the entire Nation. We are told by the daily press that Oahu will soon have quartered upon it ten thousand soldiers. These, together with the marines and sailors, the workmen and purveyors to all these classes, will augment our population by some twenty thousand. It is clear to anyone who knows Congress that the Xation wants its battles fought by sober men. the kind of employee which its great corporations are seeking. A drunken army is a disgrace But if the No. 12 large force destined for Oahu be stationed here and cordoned with saloons, a considerable proportion will inevitably be tempted to drunkenness. Our Island American form of government has proved far less able to save the Hawaiians from drink than that of the Kamehameha sovereigns. It certainly cannot be trusted to safeguard the Nation's soldiers and sailors. If anything were needed further to demonstrate this, it would be the protest of the Legislature against the proposed law now before Congress. Delegate Kalanianaole has jtlso come out against national action for Hawaii, if he is correctly reported IB a recent interview. Some months ago it was said around town that he was in favor of Congress acting to prohibit the sale and manufacture of intoxicants here, it needs a strong man. however, to resist the pressure; which the liquor interests can bring to bear upon a legislator. The protest of our legislature and Delegate Kalanianaole'a ;tt lit tide are hard nuts for our Anti-Saloon League to crack. But the spirit of this organization knows no discouragement and the fight will be fought to the last ditch. May God give the forces arrayed against King Alcohol the victory! « Encouraging Signs. At hast one citizen has shown his faith by his works and booked by one of the Marus to the Coast next summer. This means that the stand of Secretary Ballinger for justice to Hawaii is taken to indicate that the good sense of Congress will champion the same honest course. Our legislature stultified itself by its failure to support the overwhelming sentiment of the people in favor of the suspension of the coastwise laws for these Islands. It is significant that even the local corporation most interested in opposing, for purely selfish reasons, this public sentiment is by no means united in this short-sighted course, several of its highest officers including its presi- �December, 1909 THE FRIEND, 4 dent being public-spirited enough to all their influence on the side of economic righteousness. It is to be hoped that when Congress gets down to a consideration of the question, it will see the injustice of any restriction upon our trade with the mainland and cast will suspend entirely the operation of the coastwise laws, both freight and passengers. its regards More Good News. Late advices from Washington seem that the sober second sight of the American people is being aroused to the economic folly of fettering the liberty of the Nation by creating a mammoth shipping trust through the operation of a ship subsidy system. Papers like the Outlook are doing yeoto indicate man's service here and are being joined by a Pacific Coast organ now and then, as notably in Portland, Oregon. Let the good work go on. Some day Congress will awake to the fact that if permission be given Americans to fly the Hag over ships bought in the cheapest market and man them with international crews, not only will the Stars and Stripes adorn all the seas of the globe again, but the United States will learn a second time how to build ships cheaper and better and with higher-paid labor than any other country on earth. More Hours of Work. In the face of the universal trend towards fewer hours of daily labor, it is proposed to open Honolulu stores at night. This proposal is urged in the interests of White versus Asiatic shopkeepers. Is t his a symptom of a coming time in world-history when the yellow man. trained by centuries of heredity and environment to work, shall have pushed to the wall the Caucasian educated to fight? Perhaps so. At all events it is a sign of surrender. We Americans pride ourselves upon our love of higher things and claim that large culture fits a man to win when he is forced to compete with those who spend all their time in drudgery. Hut here in Hawaii where East meets West on even terms, the East is forcing our hand and our merchants are proposing I'AI.AMA's MOOF.I. COTTAGES, capitulate and become the drudges that Eastern shopkeepers are. We believe the proposal unwise. It will not defeat the Asiatic lie will whip us out unless we succeed in inoculating him with our standards. Exactly here is our miserable weakness. We refuse to make him submit to our standards while hi' expects us to insist upon them as rights. Take Sunday, for into The Oriental looks upon us with supreme contempt because of our hick of backbone in maintaining this honored and wise institution. Heine when we ordain that on Sunday he can sell fruit and drinks, he puts fruit and drinks into all sorts of stores and saucily snaps his fingers in the face of our milk-and-water Sabbath regulations. If with respect for our own institutions we should return to our old-time American custom of making Sunday selling of every commodity except medicines illegal, allowing milk and ice delivery alone, the Oriental would mightily respect us. He would also lose a tremendous advantage in competitive trade because large numbers of white merchants will not keep open shop on Sunday. Soon his employees would learn that Sunday rest is their right and thus it decided gain in educating our competitors up to our standards would be effected. Evening closing on week-days cannot be secured by law. but if we Americans stand together, difficulties in the path of evenstance. shopping at Oriental stores may be created slowly. The Orientals employed in our shops will because of their evening leisure constitute it sort of aristocracy of clerks and soon their fellowracials who have to work at night will complain at the injustice. The authoriing ties at the various camps may encourtheir men to be in town during the day. Public sentiment condemning evening opening may be fostered and in time the Asiatics will respond thereto Milt if we begin to yield point by point to Asiatic standards of labor instead of endeavoring to bring them up to out's it will be a sorry day for white dominance here. By till means let us get back to ;i rigid Sunday closing of all stores. This will be a tremendous blow at Asiatic competition. Then sedulously cultivate the sentiment that only a mean, onbrotherly employee, enemy of the new social order, keeps open evenings. It need scarcely be added that certain kinds of business, such as restaurants, drug-shops and the like, must he open out of regular hours, hut the merchants owning these may satisfy the demands of social justice by double shifts of employees or rotation in hours of work. It will be a sad day for Honolulu when it goes back to longer hours of labor for any class of workingnien. age Be humble, Moody. or you'll stumble. —D. L. �THE FRIEND, December, lyoy. Palama.

So far, seventy-five boys have entered, with an average attendance of thirty-five each evening, which number crowds our club rooms to the limit. If one could have heard the news of the announcement that the Settlement would be opened the first evening as shouted from one street corner to the other, up and down the streets by the boys, there would be no doubt, if such ever existed, as to the appreciation of the privileges offered. Anybody would know from above heading that Christmas was coining. Fhiknii readers will remember that, the December number never fails to haye a reference to LEPER Christmas. So may it he that we never neglect the Christmas opportunity of gladdening the hearts of Kalaupapa people, until such time as there are no more lepers. This year we send boxes as usual. The purchasing will be in the hands of our former skillful buyers, and we plan, as heretofore, to have appropriate gifts and no waste. Money is what we want, though clothing and good toys can be used. Gifts should come to Hawaiian Board Rooms by Dec. 15 and not later than the 18th. T. R. �8 The Scribe's Corner REV. WM.

It is well-recognized that the salaries paid by our Hawaiian churches are in many cases far from being adequate. 11l order to meet the needs of the ease. Pastor's Aid Societies have been formed on each of the Islands, and have been in operation for a number of years. These societies are dependent on the generosity of individuals, and have accomplished excellent results with the funds at their disposal. For they have thus made it possible for some churches have regular preaching services that might otherwise have continued pastorless. The aid thus rendered has also relieved the pressing Deeds of not a \'t\v ministers who have thus 1 n freed to give their whole time and interest to the work of the churches. There can be no question, however, that in many cases the pastors should receive more than they are now receiving- The salary should be at least adequate to the actual living need, so that there shall be no necessity for the minister to supplement his salary by entering on other employment that would take him from his legitimate work as minister to his people. In England, the churches of our order have undertaken to raise ji fund whereby each and every minister shall n ive at least a certain specified salary. Large success is already attending this movement. Such a fund would be specially useful among us. with wise safeguards in administering the fund. Thus no pari of the income should be granted where the church does not pledge itself to meet its equitable share of the specified salary. A fund like this might well be vested in the Hawaiian Board, the into Decerning, THE FRIEND, come to be administered by it all over the Territory in the interest of a living ■alary for every worker of whatever nationality. Just now such a fund would be called on most heavily in behalf of our Hawaiian ministers, whose efficiency will be measurably promoted by the relief such aid would bring. New Men for the Ministry. Promising young men. who have already demonstrated their ability in Christian leadership and who have had some drawings to the Christian ministry, are undoubtedly deterred from offering themselves to our churches on account of the meagerness of salary. They are ready to deny themselves, even to the extent of relinquishing much better opportunities financially, but they must have a living salary assured them. The churches, in many cases, cannot guarantee such a salary in Hawaii, any more than they can in England, or on the mainland, and it fund judiciously administered seems the only solution. Lack of a living salary ought not to operate in this land to keep worthy men out of the ministry. We need our best-equipped men in the ministry ; but we must be content to see them doing Christian work as laymen, unless adequate salaries can be provided to enable them to become the leaders of the people front the pulpit. The World in Boston. With the American Board going up to its great meeting at Minneapolis out of debt, and with unusual interest already focusing on its Centennial to be held next year in Boston, there come encouraging tidings of the preliminary organisation of a great inter-denominational missionary exposition to be held possibly in the fall of 1910. This is to be an exhibit of foreign and home missions on a settle never before attempted in our country. Similar exhibits in England during the last few years have been regarded as exceedingly profitable in awakening popular interest in worldwide mission endeavor. We are manifestly in an era of contagious interest in the doing of things for the Kingdom of God. The proposed exhibit is to be known as "The World in Boston." If njoj. the plans carry, Boston will certainly have one view of world-life that the public is not as well acquainted with a.s should be the case in this age of wondrous missionary opportunity, and of almost unexampled headway in the Christian uplift of the race. A Welcome Assurance. We are glad to print elsewhere Bish- op Restarick's statement to the effect that there is no plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on Kauai. This satisfies the protest made by the Kauai Association, and makes for the continuance of Christian cooperation without needless division in that limited field. That there may be no misunderstanding as to certain questions raised in Bishop Restarick's statement, we print the following correspondence, which needs no comment, and may well close the incident : (1) November 5, 1909.

Honolulu. .My Dear Sir: — At the recent meeting of the Kauai Association held at Koloa. certain ait ion was taken which, hy vote of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, I hereby officially communicate to you. The action taken by the Kauai Association was as follows: "I. We heartily approve of the courtesy of those of our pastors who have extended the occasional use of their houses of worship to our brethren of the Episcopalian ministry. We are convinced that such courtesies, when mutually extended, would do much to unify believers of every name. "2. The practice of our churches in the past has heen such as to guarantee the continuance of such courtesies, and this fact is a sufficient consideration why the introduction of other churches in this limited field should be deplored. "3. Accordingly we learn with sorrow of tli<' proposed plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on this Island. In the Interests of the churches already occupying this field, and in behalf of Christian efficiency, we hereby record our protest against this plan, believing that it will only breed divisoin and harm to the cause of Christ.

While on this subject I should like to explain my attitude as to our work on Kauai and I leave it to your readers to judge whether my position is reasonable, fair, just and kindly. On the Island of Kauai there are three I'nion Churches. These report a total of 56 members (see Eighty-seventh Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association). Some of these 56 so reported tire members of the Episcopal Church and claim allegiance to it, of saying that they are associated with these I'nion Societies because of existing conditions. On Kauai over one-half of the English-speaking people, who belong to any Christian body, belong to the Church over which I preside.

A number of these SO are included in the lid members of the Union Churches reported to the Hawaiian Board.

BREWSTER OLESON. * Letter from Bishop Restarick. Editor of Tiik Fhikni): I ask for space that I may make a statement with reference to an article in your November issue entitled "A Courteous Protest." In that article I am accused of intending to "take advantage" of those "courtesies" which where last .lanuary the Rev. Canon Simpson held services at the request of the people while he was staying with the Knudsens. This Church, we understand, is an independent one, which we find by reference makes no report to some one to minister to them. They want the sacraments administered to them according to their convictions. They believe that it is my duty to try to minister to them. When I first, visited Kauai I saw the the Hawaiian Board. existing conditions and knew that the No request has ever been made by me controlling interests were generally adnor by any of our clergy for the use verse to my doing anything. I went to �the Island occasionally after that. Bap- Men Working for Men tizing and administering the Holy Communion. It was only when a definite proposition was made as to services that we began regular work. The work which we have done on Kauai has been ministering to our own people, greatly to the joy and comfort of many. I do not think our Christian friends of other names realize how dear the Mother Church and her services are to her children, how they can never feel at home elsewhere, and how strongly some of them hold to the principles which they have been taught. There are scattered people on Kauai who are as loyal to their Mother Church as ever, though they have been cut off from her regular ministrations for years. Have I done wrong or have I fomented divisions by ministering to the loyal children of a Mother Church most dear to them? I leave it to fair-minded people to answer the question. Now I have a proposition. Suppose it is recognized that in these Union Churches there are members of the Episcopal Church. Is it a part of any compact of the Union Churches of Kauai that these should not be allowed by agreement to have a clergyman of their choice to minister to them occasionally or even regularly? That is all we have been doing. If the I'nion Churches refuse to recognize the facts U they exist, then we should be driven to build a Church in some central place, and to put in a resident clergyman,— for minister to our people we must and shall. However, the resolutions passed at Koloa are based on surmises and not on any plans laid down by us. As to "strife of deiiominationalisni." which the Rev. Mr. Oleson hopes will not be introduced, I will say that it has unhappily been introduced in places where for years we had held the English-speaking field. The Hawaiian Board saw fit to send workers to these places sometimes in the face of the protests of the people generally. If I am permitted to do so. I will state these cases in the next issue of The Friexd plainly and kindly, that the facts may be known, and fair judgment made. HENRY B. RESTARICK.

These young men are not objects of charity, but are paying as large a proportion of the expenses of the institution themselves as that defrayed by the tuition fees of most college men, the tuition fees practically de- fraying the cost of instruction. HOME RULE AND PROHIBITION. The Home Rule position on the most recent temperance issue is most plausible. It is substantially this,—"Prohibition may or may not be a good thing. If it is. let the Territory secure its passage in its own legislature. We are able to take care of our own affairs. To ask Federal intervention is to admit inability to handle this and other questions." Such an argument as the foregoing has captured both houses of Hawaii's legislature and silenced some effort in behalf of Senator Johnson's Bill 1862 in favor of Federal enactment of Prohibition. Whether the action of the legislature has seriously affected the chances of the Bill's success is doubted by many, who argue as follows: If there is need of action on the part of Congress to protect the native people and U. S. garrisons from drink deterioration, that need is the more emphasised by what looks like legislative protection of liquor interests in the guise of local patriotism. A protest of the liquor people was to he expected. That Mr. Cohen, who candidly announces himself as the representative of the California Wine Ass'n.. should voice this protest in a concurrent resolution was in line with the nature of things. That he should work on the patriotic susceptibilities of his colleagues" was his good generalship. That he played on the pique of the legislators who had not been consulted, while "Woolley. a stranger, had originated a bill and on his own responsibility was trying to force it over the heads of the 11 FRIEND people," this was more luck than he de- away."

When this issue of The Friend reaches the reader, the Sixty-first Congress will be in session at Washington. The usual pack of jackall bills will introduce themselves. But they will have poor hunting. Lions of legislation will have the field, and Conservation will be King. On National Resources. "Conservation," as employed in the Roosevelt Magna Charta, means salvation of trees and mines and streams and soils and scenery,—in peril, now, of greed, or recklessness, or vandalism. Fire-protection and axe-protection, for forests, are to be provided, and water-powers are to be snatched from the jaws of the Trust crocodile. And it is well. The national resources, material and aesthetic, are the people's birthright. Good statesmanship will guard them jealously, and good citizenship will put the seal of popular appreciation on the work. Prompt action by the Territorial authorities has brought the claims and conditions of Hawaii into the body of the movement. Without dissent, the great convention at Spokane voted that Congress ought to include these islands in its scheme of saving and development. —all the more because of their less ability and greater need than the mainland. Power Going to Waste. But is not "life more than meat, and the body than raiment t" Hawaiian women need protection more than Hawaiian trees. Hawaiian men need development in civic fruitfulness more than Hawaiian lands need irrigation. Man-power is going to waste faster than water-power, here. The liquor trade is cutting off the prospects of the Hawaiian natives, as relentlessly as the improvident Kings destroyed the sandalwood. For nearly a hundred years the missionary spirit has fought the parasite that feeds on the new top-shoots of The measure of its failure is the gain of the liquor-dealer. Christian civilization cannot hold its own, in a system of liquor licensing, against the moral pirates of the Pacific, whose rhetoric has coupled and standardized the expressions "damned missionary," and "damned kanaka." The missionary brought a hard proposition to the barbarian—"Deny yourself;" "Respect yourself;" "Employ yourself;" "Know yourself." The liquor dealer left that out of sight in the rear, with his dirty evangel, "Indulge yourself;" "Enjoy yourself;" "Forget yourself." character. Liberty and Liquor. The soundest and strongest heeded the high word, and grew and thrived. The tabu saved the weak, in a measure, for a while, and then, the law, also. But the Kings indulged themselves, and, in clouded judgment, listened with favor to the sort of white men that make "liberty" and "liquor" synonyms; and gave the traffic legal life and character. It grew, of course, in power and insolence, and when at last it demanded the repeal of the law forbidding the sale of drink to natives, it was given; and the government threw its children to the sharks of trade and politics. Federal Support of Lawlessness. And now the struggle is to "regulate" the sharks. The license commissions feel constrained to authorize about 160, in the Territory. But the Collector of Internal Revenue has issued for the year over five hundred liquor-dealer's Federal special tax receipts. Omitting a dozen rectifiers, and the like, who require no Territorial license, more than three hundred liquor dealers are known to be violators of the local law. In fact a correct census of illicits would show far more than that. These are the smaller and least-harmful sharks. I only mention them to show how impotent the native authorities are to cope with such a public enemy. The license commission of Honolulu forbids the sale of liquors on Sunday, and the licensed dealers, generally, obey. But the brewery output Mows, seven days in the week, in spite of law. As if the poverty and the brewery and the licensed dram-shops of Kakaako were not enough to damn the district, a lot of "blind pigs" combine with a lot of drunken marines, to make each night a reign of terror to the decent there. So the sentiment of seventeen treaty nations, in favor of protecting natives of these seas from drink, goes begging. So the law of Congress, to protect the soldier and the sailor, comes to naught. So the teaching of the public schools, that alcohol is a poison, is made ridiculous to children's minds. So the police power of the Territory wears a dunce-cap. So the steeple of the church, the greatest organization on this earth, slopes upward like an idiot's forehead, while the dram-shop exploits the native race that the church came to seek and to save. A Rat in the Cane. Make no mistake, through tenderness of feeling. The drink-seller knows no power but force. He is a cut-worm at the root of human progress. He is a rat in the cane. He is a beetle in the rose-garden. But we must discriminate between the drink-seller and the MAN, in the drink-seller. One is a beast of prey, to be hated and hunted and blotted out. The other is a victim of conditions for which all of us are to blame. No quarter for the drink-seller! Help for the MAN—a chance to break stone, sweep crossings, drive a cart, something, anything, honest and helpful! The Territory cannot solve the problem alone. We have a right to Federal aid. and can get it, if the Christian people of the Islands put their hands and hearts to it. Write to some member of Congress and implore his active help to pass Senate Bill 1862. �December, 1909. Educational Advance F. W. DAMON THE TEACHING PROFESSION. The November "The World's Work" contains an article demanding more than passing notice. Under the caption. "The Confessions of a Successful Teacher," an article is written reflecting seriously upon the profession of teaching and upon teachers in general. The article is most unfair. Half-truths are told, inferences made, certain conditions are emphasized, and conclusions drawn entirely misleading. The writer, who. by the way. seems to lack the courage to sign his name, presumes to speak for "just all of us" teachers. He says and puts in italics, "we hate our work" and "we are ashamed of our profession. Speaking for myself, and I am sure I voice the sentiment of many others, I neither "hate" my work, nor am I "ashamed of my profession." I "regret" the writing and publishing of the article, and I am "ashamed" of the writer who has the temerity to sign himself "a successful teacher." I protest against the incorrect use of the verb "hate." I protest against the sentiment the writer expresses. I protest against the publishing of an unsigned article. I protest against the article as a whole and the separate parts. I do not deny that the abuses the writer depicts exist. Unpleasant experiences, trying hours, heart-rending moments come in teaching. No one denies this. Certain days come in the teacher's life that use every particle of his strength and courage, and the evening finds him literally worn out with the annoying worries of the day. Is the minister free from the same experience? Do not the lawyers, doctors, merchants, business men. —indeed all men and Women who occupy positions of trust and responsibility,—have the same experiences? Why should this distressed cry come from the teacher? The teaching profession is poorly paid. No one denies it. Earnest efforts are being made to better these conditions. Other professions are poor- ' THE 13 FRIEND ly paid—ministers, social workers, Y. M. C. A. officers, etc. Politics enters into appointments in many places. Is this confined to teaching? Pull exists. Does it exist nowhere else? The inexperienced teacher often finds it hard to get her first school. Is not this true of most beginners? The writer divides his subject. He says, "Teaching is hateful at best." His argument is the difficulty of securing and holding a position. The reason needs no further comment than this. Hundreds of new teachers are beginning each year without serious difficulty. Some are eliminated from the ranks each year. I have not noticed any perceptible decrease in the numbers of experienced teachers. Individual cases of loss of position through "pull." ignorance of school boards, undoubtedly exist. The writer declaims against the woman trustee. To my mind the women members of school boards have done much to raise the standard of such boards. The next three headings. "Trying to Please Everybody," "A Token of Regard." "Sham and Hypocrisy Widespread," are absurdly developed. The whole article shows a lack of appreciation of opportunity, a violation of trust, a condition of mind that should brand him at once as one unfit to teach, much less to speak for teachers. The author of this protest has nearly fifty teachers either directly or indirectly under him. He has a fairly broad acquaintance with teachers of public and private schools, here in Honolulu, in the East, and in the Middle West of the United States. After more than twenty years of teaching, he can say with all sincerity that these conditions do not exist sufficiently to justify anyone in making the general I have seen abuses. statements. Among the thousands and thousands of teachers, some very bitter experiences can be recorded. But to pick out the unusual and make them stand for the whole is unprofessional, unfair, and untrue. The next heading is, "Teachers Ashamed of Their Profession." I have never known a good teacher who was ashamed of his profission. I glory in my work. I know my colleagues are not ashamed of their calling. I know of no teacher in public or private schools, man or woman, who feels any desire to hide his occupation. Some tire of the work. Some grow discontented. Some seek other fields. Some find themselves unqualified. Some few are embittered and say harsh words of their work. None of these are ashamed of the profession. Some may be envious of the position of others. Those who have changed their occupations continue to speak pleasantly of their teaching days. We regret our failures. We bemoan opportunities lost. But ashamed of our work—never! We have an optimism that will not down. The final heading, "Men Teachers Are Low-Grade," is not pleasing reading for men teachers. Is it true? The readers of this article must answer. Run over the list of the fifty or more men teachers in Honolulu; ask yourself if these men are low-grade. Let me suggest a few names as a beginning to the list—Professor Alexander, Professor Scott. Professor Wood, President Griffiths, President Gilmore, Principals Baldwin, Davis and Merrill, Mr. F. W. Damon. Mr. W. 11. Babbitt. This list can lie multiplied many times in the public and private schools of the city, and in the Board of Education. Are these men the left-overs, are they young men who have taken up the work for a year or two, or are they men "lacking in the indispensable masculine qualities of backbone, independence and self-reliance"? These,are the three classes to which the writer, who does not sign his name, consigns the men teachers. The women teachers fare little better at his hands. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the subject. The pessimistic view taken by the magazine writer is inexcusable in a teacher. Any individual who continues to occupy a position of teacher through many years and believes the words written, has no justification in continuing. Better be a day laborer of the lowest type, better starve, than to carry either consciously or unconscious- ly such ideas into a school-room to poison the minds there assembled. To carry such ideas into a school-room, even under a smirking exterior, is little less than criminal. "As a man thinketh. so is he." PERLEY L. HORNE. �THE 14 December, 1909 FRIEND, 8.

The Ladies' Bazaar has come and gone and there is now only a pleasant memory of it left. The Parish House grounds never presented so gay an appearance. With flags and streamers of every nationality strung across from church to parish house, and from tree to tree; with prettily decorated booths occupying every available nook, laden with every imaginable dainty and presided over by charming ladies ; with the Hawaiian Band filling- the air with sweet strains; and all under Hawaii's fairest summer skies, even though the calendar said it was November, — who could resist buying amid such an enchanting environment? The Bazaar was declared open at 2 o'clock and, although there was an admission fee, anxious buyers soon thronged the grounds and filled the Parish House, where plain-sewed articles of clothing, fancy work, dolls, curios, etc., were on sale. By 5 o'clock practically everything was sold. The only auction necessary was at the delicatessen table, where those who lingered got some great bargains in cakes, pies, canned fruits, and jellies. When all was over and the Treasurer counted the coin it was found that . THE 15 FRIEND $1,020 had been cleared. So from a financial as well as from an artistic point of view the Bazaar was a splendid success. But the money was by no means the principal nor the most important result. The membership saw its opportunity and planned to make the most of it. Two committees of five hustling ladies each engaged in a lively contest for new members, the one committee tagging those whom they secured as members with red tags and the other with blue. In this way 170 new members were added, bringing the total membership up close to 250 now. With this large membership and with funds in the treasury the Ladies' Society is now ready to do some important work in and for the church. A number of things have already been suggested, and we doubt not we shall soon see abundant evidence of their work. An Auspicious Opening. The Men's League started its second year's work Monday evening. Nov. 22, with a better enthusiasm even than characterized all of last year's meetings. One hundred and thirty men sat down to supper in the Parish House at 6:30. An hour later Chairman J. P. Cooke started the business session by calling for nominations for officers for the new year. Although many of those present felt that last year's officers should be reelected, it seemed the wiser policy to elect an entirely new set. In short order and with remarkable unanimity the following were elected: Officers—W. F. Dillingham. Chairman; Perley L. Home, Vice-Chairman; I. H. Beadle, Secretary; R. R. Reidford, Treasurer. ( ouncillors—Geo. W. Woodruff, Dr. W. (' Hobdy, J. P. Cooke. S. Dc Freest, W. J. Forbes. Paul Super. The Chairman has since made up his Cabinet by appointing the following section leaders: Friendship, W. A. Bowen; Social, J. A. Rath; Civic, A. L. Castle; Religious Work, Theo. Richards; Sunday School, C. H. Tracy; Bible Study, C. R. Frazier; Bible Representation. J. A. Wilder; Musical, Wm. A. Love; Sunday Evening Service, J. W. Gihnore; Mid-Week Service, Ed Towse; Welcoming, Dr. A. B. Clark. Spirited reports were then submitted by the Chairman, Treasurer, and by the various section leaders, showing that some very tangible results were secured along a number of lines. The Chairman in his report spoke especially of the splendid work of the leaders of the Friendship, Social, Civic, Bible Study, and Mid-Week Service sections. A Task Worth While. But the best part of the evening came when the Chairman raised the question as to what the League shall undertake for this year and introduced Dr. W. C. Hobdy. who spoke most effectively on "Fighting the White Plague." If anyone needed any convincing that here was the biggest problem now facing us, Dr. Hobdy's telling arguments certainly would have done it. Following him came Mr. Rath, who set forth the general plan of campaign as mapped out by the Red Cross Society. The part which it was hoped the Men's League would assume was the equipment and maintenance of a playground school for the tuberculous children, who would have to be removed from the public schools. The men by this time were so deeply interested that it was unanimously voted to undertake this work. The Chairman appointed as a special committee to raise the necessary funds Messrs. Abram Lewis, Jr., Willard E. Brown, and Perley L. Home. The following letter, already issued to the men of Central Union, shows how they propose to do it: November 22, 1909. Sir: — Dear We need the help of every man in Hawaii interested in lessening the ravages of the great white plague in this Territory. One individual out of every ten is doomed to die of this disease unless vigorous preventive measures are adopted. All races are affected, most of all in Hawaii, the native population. Tuberculosis can be cured. At its last meeting, the Men's League of Central Union Church unanimously voted to take care of the little children in new day camp which the Hawaiian �December, 1909 THE FRIEND. 16 Mr. Maeda writes that "seven drinkBranch of the American Red Cross Society proposes to open.

The response up to the time of this article was most encouraging. "Where is the Sunday School Lesson?" * Able Men to the Front. After Rev. A. B. Dellaan. the young man from Oberlin Theological Seminary who, with his bride, is en route to China, had finished his address at our mid-week service, Wednesday evening, Nov. 10, on "World Citizenship and Its Challenge," someone remarked. "It's a shame to send such good material to China." Judging from the evident view of that person, the same might well have been said Sunday morning, Nov. 21. after the Rev. James McClure Henry, another young man of the same fine type, also headed for China, had delivered a most forceful sermon on"The Church's One Foundation." Thank Cod. the American Church has awakened to the fact that only the best are good enough to meet the unparalleled opportunity now offered in this great Empire of the East, and we in Honolulu thank God for the privilege of having these noble young knights of the cross with us for a brief visit and then to give them God-speed toward their field of labor. We feel that in a real sense they now belong to us and that we shall have a share in the victories which they are bound to win for Christ in China. * When a man of reduced circum- stances, a member of the Wailuku Jap- anese Church, died recently in that community, nine young men. fellow Christians, dug the grave with their own hands, and provided for him a respectable burial. chair called a "manele." and borne on the shoulders of stalwart men. The vision of beauty from the eastern bank of llanapepe valley, which burst upon the entranced stranger as he looked down for the first time upon the green quilt of taro patches, has not faded from my memory. The hardygrained rice has now supplanted the taro and fills the fertile valley. A thatched house, our early abode in the Koloa station, was burnt down through the carelessness of one of the domestics, after a few months of occupancy. Thus no small portion of the household effects of the young family disappeared in smoke. An early enterprise was the erection of a large adobe church building, with a thatched roof. Corrugated iron roofing was an invention of later years. This first church was erected upon the site of the present Koloa Church edifice. But more difficult than the erection of church or parsonage was the work of enlightening the hearts and minds of the long-benighted people. Portions only of the Scriptures had as yet been translated and printed. The Christian hymns which fill so important a service in the education of the Hawaiian people, had not been written.

The Hawaiian chiefs and people were early fascinated with a desire to possess the art of reading and writing. The pioneer missionaries providentially adopted the Latin or Italian system of vowel sounds by which all Hawaiian words are indicated to the eye with great simplicity and unerring certainty. To learn to read in Hawaiian costs but a small fraction of the labor requisite for the acquisition of the art in most other languages. In 1839, nineteen years from the foundation of the mission, the translation and publication of the Hawaiian version of the Bible was completed, and the most of the people had acquired some facility at reading. The New Testament had been completed some years earlier. Ppon the arrival at Koloa of perhaps the first invoice of New Testaments, a woman from Kukuiula came bringing some potatoes, or perhaps a chicken wherewith to purchase a Testament. Money, or coin, was not yet in circulation. 1 saw the joy of this country Woman as with tears she received the precious book and thrust it into her bosom. To her it was the word of God, imparting the Light of Life. Higher criticism she had not heard of. The Great Awakening of the years 1836-1838 moved Kauai as it did the other Islands, and indeed as it did all the churches of the group. Such scenes witness to the power of the Holy Spirit as did the outpouring upon the first Pentecostal day. Of temporal prosperity and business leadership Koloa had a large share. The Koloa Sugar Plantation, commenced by Ladd & Hooper in the early forties, was perhaps the second upon the Islands in the order of time; this and the silk-producing enterprise of Mr. Sherman Peck, were the two largest ventures of those early days. The unbroken succession of sixty-six or sixtyseven crops of sugar attest the wisdom of the pioneers of this enterprise, and the abounding fertility of the soil. Of the growth of the schools and the 17 THE FRIEND. churches which cover the land, of the incoming of the Asiatic races, of the establishment of a liberal government with its legislative assemblies, its courts of justice, time allows but the briefest mention.

We have the promise of a letter to be written next Christmas, Dec. 25, 1909. at Bethlehem, and an article by another Cousin while in Europe traveling. REV. SAMUEL KAUWEALOHA. By letter just received by Mr. T. Richards from Rev. Paul Vernier, we learn of the death, July 26th. of Rev. S. Kauwealoha of the Marquesas Island mission. Mr. Oleson also has a letter from Mr. Samuel Kekela mentioning the same event and speaking of the sorrow of the kindred and of all the people at the departure of the good man, the honored missionary. The Hawaiian Mission to the Marwas founded by the Churches of Hawaii in 1853. The first company who went out consisted of Rev. James H. Kekela. the first of the ordained native pastors, the Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha of Maui, Mr. Lot Kuaihelani. and Mr. Isaia Kaiwi. These all were married men. Mr. James Bicknell also offered himself and was for several years a valuable member of the mission. Rev. B. W Parker, then missionary at Kaneohe, went with the company for a short visit. The two leading men, Kekela and Kauwealoha, were boon companions through their more than half a century of missionary service, during which they saw the roughest savages of Polynesia transformed from the darkest heathen into civilized and Christian people. Mr. Kekela by two or three returns to Hawaii, maintained acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches ami people. But it is doubted whether Mr. Kauwealoha ever once returned to visit his native land. Rev. Paul Vernier, speaking of Mr. Kauwealoha. says:"The death ef that servant of God sadly affected us. He was a very good old man, a genuine and energetic Christian, hut the burden of years and infirmities was rather heavy on him.

Wilder with the musical collaboration of Captain Berger and Messrs. W. A. Love and Blackman was presented twice during Christmas week in the The chapel of Central Union Church. wording was almost entirely scriptural, the music subdued and beautiful, the details very simple and natural but all conceived with such perfect art that the impression made on every one was profound and moving. It was the drama in the Church yet it was distinctively a religious service, as far above the ordinary Christmas entertainment for Sunday Schools as can be imagined. The drama in the Church ! Why not ? The drama was the daughter of religion. One of the noblest Bible works is drama. The ancient Hebrew prophets were actors who employed the resources of dramatic art to produce their deep impressions. Jesus Himself was the great histrionic Master, an inspiration to the actors of every age. He came to enact the good tidings of God's love. In doing so he conformed to the canons of dramatic art. Witness his scourging the hucksters out of the temple, his consumate art in dealing with the case of the woman taken in sin, his incomparable use of that dramatic form, the parable, his last message to the Baptist, his triumphal entry, many of his signs as he called them. They are the masterpieces of the Great Dramatist and all culminated in the crucifixion at the passover season, exactly when his enemies least desired such a consummation. The Church has been false to its Master in allowing the theater to monopolize her most potent resource for public teaching of religion. And if the Church means to do the large work in the world that her Great Head demands, she must call back to her aid the supreme power of the drama. She must build her meeting houses so that great presentations of truth may be enacted therein with all the present day artistic resources. Men like Mr. Wilder gifted with power to serve in endeavor of this nature should be encouraged to use their talents for the Great Master. Music must be invoked to lend all of her rich charm. In this renascence the histrionic ability latent in numbers of men and women will be put to loftiest No. 1 employ. Sunday evening will become the Church's noblest teaching opportunity and the people will not only throng the meeting houses, not only drink in truth made beautiful and attractive and be moulded thereby but will have their taste educated away from the debasing plays which are proving such a menace to better living in many of our great cities. Passing On. The Japanese have a good custom ot passing on gifts from one to another until they reach at last the one who can make use of them. It is a common thing for one living in the Sunrise Empire to hear a Japanese friend say in presenting a gift, "Its a mere trifle, given to me and so has cost me nothing. I'm but passing it on." The formula is one of politeness and often covers a present of much value which the giver has purchased. There is no more intended falsehood in the statement than in some of our own forms of courtesy. But it emphasizes one of the things which it is proper to do with a gift for which the recipient has no special use, that is, pass it on to some one else. The essence of a real gift is not its intrinsic value but its revelation friendly thot. That received, appropriated by the spirit and made par? of the inner life of the friend is the most that the giver cares about. If in addition the gift can be utilized by the recipient, good. If its highest use be to carry another assurance of friendship from him to a third person, good also. Jesus emphasized this truth of the extrinsic value of a gift when he rebuked Judas at the Bethany feast. "There's no waste," he said in effect, "because Mary has given the most delicate evidence of friendship possible—her clear insight into my inmost soul. She knows I must suffer and has told the story of her sympathy in this fragrant form." The value of the gift great or small or its usefulness fibred as nothing in the Savior's mind. The heart language it bore was everything to him. Fortunately we are learning this and every Christmas emphasizes it in the form of gifts which the givers intend may be shared with others. Books that used to bear inscriptions now come with enclosed cards so that the recipient may pass them on. Many of the more �THE FRIEND. 4 beautiful Christmas and New Year's cards are planned for repeated use. We are thus getting further and further away from the habit of looking gift horses in the mouth and are prizing what we receive not at its money value, not at its cash cost to the giver but at its friendship value, what of spirit has been put into it by the donor. It is well. The world is advancing. J* Cats and Dogs. The past weeks have had their quota of minor disagreements, and exhibitions of spleen. The most amusing and unaccountable of them all has been Delegate Kuhio's outburst against Governor Frear. What it was all about is not very clear except that the Delegate lost his temper over some detail of tweedledum and tweedledee anent our land laws and indulged in Ananias anathemas against the Governor. The latter was as usual master of the situation in his quiet effective manner and the laugh was on the Delegate who seems to have tried to read himself out of the Republican party. The Home Rulers have opened wide their arms to receive him and the coy Democrats have handed him the mitten. But these antics arc not peculiar to Hawaii and next year the Prince may bob up serenely as the love feast candidate of his old time friends. These squabbles in family-ruled Hawaii mean nothing. It is all in the home circle and attributable to the Kona winds that periodically rile every one out here in the Mid-Pacific only to give place to the genial trades that restore the normal good feeling. Meanwhile the Anti-Coastwise shipping law conflict went off with remarkable smoothness. At the public meeting called by the Civic Federation, which summoned a very representative assembly, there was in evidence but one man's dissent to emphasize the overwhelming public sentiment in favor of granting Hawaii common justice in freedom of travel. What Congress will do is another matter. Rumors of the early passage of a subsidy bill which may delay the more pressing reform are rife. It is regretable that President Taft who certainly is aware of our transportation hardships has not been secured to champion fairer traffic treatment of these islands.

Pratt's con- had little or no organized direction. For tention from the outset of his epochmaking work has been that the only way to solve the Indian question is to assimilate the Indian into the American nation. It is simple and Carlisle has demonstrated its feasibility past all dispute. Like all great discoveries it is so easy that one wonders why the American people had not stumbled upon it centuries ago for experiment had made it clear to the early colonists. Yet Gen- Pratt met the stub bornest opposition of many statesmen; and the Indian Bureau has consistently fought him. Thruout our national history we have demonstrated with ever increasing clearness that assimilation is the key to every troublous racial problem. The most diverse peoples have melted into one common life and quickly disappeared as separate racial stocks only to contribute elements of strength to our broadening and deepening American life and character. With strange inconsistency however, we have segregated fit si the Indians politically and next the negro socially. Strangest of all we have striven to keep out entirely the Eastern Asiatic, whose character strength we can ill spare ,in building up the dominating human race to be. In these islands our nation has chosen the Carlisle way of admitting the Hawaiian at once to the suffrage and welcoming him into the national life. Meanwhile historic causes have saved us from the folly of caste exclusion in dealing with him. The Asiatic too is with us and is bound to tincture By all means our blood increasingly. let the Carlisle way be tried out here naturally with no forcing or repression.

Kawaiahao Church had a like committee but the story of its work has not been reported to us. On Maui under the leadership of Rt\. R. B. Dodge a like campaign has been mstittied. All this must give our national legislators pause. Let every Christian not forget to pray for the passage of this bill.

MARTIN full strength of seven men. . . * �6 THE FRIEND. EFFECT OF PRAYER ON ONE WHO PRAYS. (Rev. Charles D. Milliken.) Reading the sixth chapter of Luke gives the impression that a remarkable day in Christ's ministry followed a night of prayer. The first deed of that day was choosing the Twelve; apparently a simple act. but of supreme significance, requiring accurate judgment of men. These were the men who could best maintain Christianity after He had gone. The second deed was healing the infirmities of a multitude. Virtue went forth from Him so that all who touched Him were made whole. The first was it work of wisdom—a clear head. The .second of compassion—a warm heart. The third labor of the day was preaching the most remarkable sermon the world has heard: "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; be kind to the unthankful and the evil." To preach and practice these precepts require both wisdom and compassion. These working together in a life can strike through doubt and wrath straight to the law of Love; can bring words which seem visionary into actual accomplishment. It is not likely that Christ would have done any of these things immediately after turning water into wine or after feasting with publicans and sinners. He did them after a night of prayer. Prayer clears the mind and warms the heart; it puts one in the best condition to perform serious duties and carry heavy responsibilities. These are the effects of prayer on one who prays. Prayer must be sincere and continuous in a life that attains these results. There is much so-called prayer that is not real, and some real prayer that is not continuous, and the results are meagre. At a certain public exercise I was asked to offer a prayer. The prayer was sincere, but feeling was absent. Afterward I wondered if any one really heard—if even God heard. One can discern from the tone of another's voice the reality of his prayer, and the fruitage of a life will always determine if one sincerely prays. Listening to some public prayers, I have been skepti- eal of their worth. And how important is constancy! The soul must be always open to Divine communications. The formality may be infrequent but the spiritual feature must be continuous if results are to show. As a pianist detects deficiency in execution if a day's practice be omitted, so does a heart finely strung detect weakness in itself if prayer is neglected. It is probably a sad fact that too man}' nominal Christians imitate the old lady in the "Manxman" who, threatened with calamity, cried to the Lord that she hadn't bothered Him for a very long time, and if He would only deliver her now from the impending trouble she wouldn't bother Him again for another long time! The effects of sincere and continuous prayer in a life are wisdom and sympathy; virtue that goes forth which, if it cannot heal every infirmity, does soothe sorrows, heal wounds and drive away fears. Indelibly stamped in memory which will ever be a benison is the influence of a few whose lights are now shining in celestial windows, whose prayers, while here, must have been like those that Sandalphon gathers as he stands listening,— January, 1910 PALAMA SETTLEMENT 1909.

It is perhaps fitting that so closely upon Hawaii's pledge of allegiance to one noble public enterprise it has enlisted outside beneficence in support of another. Uplift equipment increased to the extent of a quarter million—this is what the new library and Young Men's Chirstian Association plants mean. Two institutions which stand primarily for education and opportunity and richness of life are to be given efficient tools for their work. The influences making for justice and harmony in the relations of man to man, of breadth and self-realization in the development of the individual, of clarity and adjustment in the problems that confront Hawaii have received mighty impulse. Truly the promise they have brougt is such as to make memorable the closing months of 1909. The Generosity in Which We Share. Apropos of the library gift it is interesting to recall that up to Jannary i, 1909, Mr. Carnegie had furnished funds for the construction of almost 1800 buildings, costing in the aggregate over rii'tyone million dollars. Practically all English speaking countries are represented on the Carnegie map, including the West Indies, South Africa and the Fiji and Seychelles islands. The donations have varied in size from the earliest gift of a single alcove of technical books made to the Mercantile library at Pittsburg to the note which promised the library system of Greater New York the construction of seventy-eight buildings. The Carnegie Method. Mr. Carnegie's beneficence is far removed from whim or chance. It is systematized by a secretary whose office is conducted on a rigid business basis. Church organs, the hero fund, the Carnegie institution, libraries—each of these headings stands for a distinct To each applicant for department. library funds the secretary sends a blank calling for the information which Mr. Carnegie desires to guide him in giving. The answers received furnish facts regarding local conditions, important among which are the population of the community and the readiness of its citizens to comply with certain conditions of library maintenance. It may almost be said that any English-speaking com- THE FRIEND munity in the world may secure money for a library building provided it does accept these conditions. The Carnegie Spirit One of the questions Mr. Carnegie asks of a petitioning community is whether it is willing to dedicate to the maintenance of a library one tenth of the sum that is requested for building purposes. In some instances, however, there have been deviations from this requirement. The inhabitants of a fishing settlement in the Orkney Islands employed a method which recalls the pledges made by some of our own New England pioneers toward founding their early colleges. Having little ready .cash the fishermen filled their subscription list largely with such items as the following : Fifty pounds of dried fish. Twenty pairs of knitted socks. Four weeks of service by laborers. Two days' carting. The town was given its library. This and the experience of another Scottish village who.-c pledge was matched shilling for shilling reveal the heart in the Carnegie system. Dunfermline and the Carnegies. The public library of Dunfermline owes its origin not to the steel king but to his father. Shortly after Andrew was born the elder Carnegie joined with a group of fellow-weavers in a plan of pooling book collections and loaning to outsiders any volumes that might be desired. Gradually the little library grew, becoming merged finally in a larger institution. In recent years Mr. Carnegie has housed the public library of his native town in a splendid building. Not content with this he has established at Dunfermline a magnificent social center, the purpose of which, expressed in his own words, is "to attempt to introduce into the monotonous lives of the toiling masses more of sweetness and light, to give them, especially the young, some charm, some elevating conditions of life which their residence elsewhere would have denied; so that a child in his native town will feel, however, far he may have roamed, that simply by virtue of being such his life has been made better and happier."

The peace advocates are 7 beyond refutation when they buttress their argument with figures showing the drain of war upon our national resources. But possibly there is compensation in the fact that much of this natural wealth has been converted indirectly into forms more enduring and of infinitely greater value. Mr. Carnegie's riches have come largely from the mines; they have been transformed into agencies of religion and art and knowledge. The material built into the battleship may be lost, but the public moneys which purchased it have passed thro steel into education and culture and character. Dibble's "Sandwich Islands." Only here and there in the libraries of the many pet sons interested in Hawaiian history has it been possible hitherto to find Dibble's "Sandwich Island." The recent reprint of this work by T. G. Thrum now brings its possession within tit reach of all. Moreover a most valuable bit of Hawaiiana is given added usefulness. It is a matter of regret that the workmanship on the new volume is not bettor and the binding more attractive. If the report that the Burrows Brothers Company has another reprint in preparation be true, however, there is still promise of a suitably beautiful Dibble. This firm has a reputation for lavish expenditure in the publication of historical works.

It is not generally known that there has been a Protestant church at Kalaupapa, Molokai, almost contemporaneous with the inauguration of the leper settlement. This church has been a remarkably useful and successful organization. It began with a membership of 35, and at times has had a membership of over 300. It has been continuously ministered to by a succession of noble and faithful Hawaiian pastors, the present pastor, Rev. David Kaai, being the eighth in this These men have been worthy roll. maintained by the Hawaiian Board, the salary of the present pastor being entireThis church has ly met in this way. received acccessions by letter from churches all over the territory, and has received notably large additions on confession of faith. It has been one of the most generous of all our Hawaiian churches in its benevolent contributions. It has been a spiritual home for many afflicted with this dread disease who have found in its light and fellowship a better healing than that of the body. It was well-named Siloam by its organizers, for it was sent, that is,' made possible by the compassionate love of Christian men and women from Niihau to Hawaii. The patient ministry of its pastors, who have suffered self-abnegation in behalf of their fellows, has been a chapter in modern heroism that is as remarkable as it has been unheralded. An Urgent Need. The Bible School for the preparation of young men for the ministry is about to open its doors to five or six promising students. Several of the instructors are salaried officers of the Hawaiian Board and there will therefore be no expense on that account. Kawaiahao church has generously proffered the use of one of its well-equipped rooms, and there will be no expenditure on that account. The sole expense will be in providing for the living needs of the students, and to help compensate them for such service as they may be able to render pastorless church- FRIEND, January, 1910 es during vacations.

Probably these schools were never in better condition than today; and yet several of them find it difficult to meet the demands on them for lack of funds. No definite announcement has yet been made by the Committee on the Bible School as to the date of opening, but progress has been made in mapping out a course of study. Two of our agents are holding monthly classes for Bible study of the Sunday School lessons. 7. Generous gifts have been received including $1500 to be added to the Mrs. M. S.

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

The building will not occupy the whole of the lot, but will have a frontage of about 90 feet and about i6O feet length. The rear of the building will be about nO feet wide. The Building Committee is now complete, except for the appointment of one man and consists of Messrs. T. Clive Davies, Chairman; F. J. Lowrey, W. G. Hall and A. Gartley. Their first business will be the choice of an architect, which choice will be made early in January. J* Religious Work.

Quite an extensive tour has been made through Japan, visiting churches. schools and colleges. Fifty addresses have been given, reaching some thirteen thousand students. The Japanese seem interested in the International Reform idea. A very pleasant visit was had with Dr. Dc Forest at Sendai. The good Hawaiian coffee at his table made me think of the fine coffee the ladies of Central Union Church always provide. Perhaps the greatest treat enjoyed Ims been the Protestant Semi-Centennial Conference. The report and the review of the fifty years' work in Japan was full of interest. S Christian Progress in Japan. An extract from Dr. Imbrie's address will show something of the progress of missionary work during the past fifty years: "Fifty years ago there was not a Christian in Japan, now they are to be found in the Imperial Diet, on the Judge's bench, and in the Imperial I'niviTsity. On this occasion they had gathered from all parts of the country to celebrate the founding of Christianity. It has made for itself a place worthy of recognition in this nation, and this assemblage today is a fact of profound significance. "At present 500 men have been ordained, and 300 more are preparing. There are 200 financially independent congregations, and 500 that are not yet independent. In Japan there are 1,200 Schools, and 90,000 school and students, while 260,000 teachers been contributed to the yen have churches. more than statistics '' What is needed sense of responsibility as is a deeper and a new vigor of churches of Japan, life as never before.

It is like the siege of Port Arthur. Endure hardship like a good soldier. That is the injunction to be taken to heart by the churches of Japan." J» Count Okuma Speaks for Christianity. I had a very pleasant visit with Count Okuma at his home a week ago. He is very friendly and spoke most highly of Ihe work of the missionaries in Japan. He is much interested in the International Reform work, and believes in the said true brotherhood of mankind. Hething such to me: "There is really no among peoas the East and the West ple. We are all men of the world, very much alike and truly brothers. It is a mistake to speak of the Orient and the Occident as so different." Count Okuand ma also attended the Conference of value gave this testimony as to the Christian missions: "I am not a Christian, but I am the indirect beneficiary of Christian influence. The civilization of Japan is Anglo-American, and largely brought by about by the missionaries, sometimes conscious, and sometimes by indirect, influence. I wish to congratulate you on your achievement in these fifty years. I warn you that today and henceforth is the time to go to work for Christianity, and that which you have done is but a small part of the work you are destined to do in this Empire." Good News for Hawaii. It was good news to learn from The Friend that Dr. Scudder is to stay in the mid-Pacific, where he is so much needed.

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

Nakaleka, Timoteo, Kaalouahi, the minister, and Judd rode over to Waialua and held a meeting in the church. An opportunity was afforded us to speak first to the school children in English and then to the adults in Hawaiian. After our meeting we were delightfully entertained at luncheon at the home of Mr. Cathcart, the school teacher. On Lanai. The following day we sailed for Lanai, having a few hours en route at Lahaina, where we received many favors from the Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Burnham and the workers at the Baldwin Settlement House. A short passage across the channel from Lahaina found us at Kahalepalaoa and a cordial welcome awaited us from Mr. and Mrs. Gay. Our stay on the island was most enjoyable. The services on Sunday in the Lanaihale church were interesting as usual and the people of the island are actively engaged in Sunday school, C. E. and other phases of Christian life. It is good to know that Mr. and Mrs. Gay are to stay on the island and will continue to be the earnest workers in the vineyard that they have been during the past few years on Lanai. �13 THE FRIEND.

During those days when the men of the Japanese cruiser Idzumo were granted shore leave, the Makiki Church was very active in welcoming and entertaining them. Thirty of the young men went each morning to the ship to act as guides, each young man taking a party of about fifteen to the various points of interest in and about Honolulu. By the kindness of the Promotion Committee these guides were able to present each one of their party with some promotion literature, and some good Christian ammunition was likewise put into the hands of the officers and men in the form of tracts such as "Christianity and War," by Dr. Dc Forest, and others, which would especially attract the attention of those to whom they were given.

It is the truce of Reaction to Reform. The blue haze on the mountains, the green interminableness of the sea, the gracious brooding of the soft, sweet sky, the quiet of the scene and of the life, induce a spell almost hypnotic. The spirit of Hawaii seems to say: "There, do not hurry, there is plenty of time. Work If you will, but don't ferment; what is left today, will be good for tomorrow, or mahope! there will be other days." If you gather from this, that Hawaii is Indolent or slip-shod, you mislead yourselt. Where nerves do not sputter, fewer motions give more results. Ha-wail is slow but busy.

Uncle Sam has no niece that can compare in loveliness with his adopted daughter. The Hawaiian year has but one month —365 days of rare North temperate June. The Hawaiian dictionary contains no word for "weather.'' But the climatic perfection implies no monotony of temperature. The ocean currents and the contour of the land ensure variety, all the way from perpetual snow on the top of Mauna Kea to 85 deg. Fahrenheit in the lea of Punchbowl. If one knows what climate he wishes, he takes a walk and gets It; that is all. At a given joint, the mean annual variation is about 10 deg. and the range from noon to midnight about the same.

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

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

SCUDDER "UJhat a thought that was when God first thought of How the Tree-Planting Proposition Was Received. That the offer of trees for planting on Arbor Day met a felt want on the part of the Japanese living in camps on the various Islands, was evident from the glad response accorded to the proposal that they should celebrate Arbor Day by beautifying their home surroundings. The above samples of trees were taken from place to place and the people were invited to order such as they a tree." to any who chose to build a protecting fence around their trees in the camps in the vicinity of Lihue. Others offered to raise from seed any kind of trees that might be desired and furnish them free of cost to the laborers. The number of trees ordered reached the grand total of 5,522, though, because of the exhausted supply of certain varieties, the number actually sent out fell short of that number by several hundreds. One gratifying result has been that the Christians have in some cases laid plans for the general improvement of the camps in which they live, planting, here a windbreak, there a tree that shall give shade for playing children, or for women who do the washing. The following letter from Mr. Tsuji gives a vivid description of the interest taken in one locality: desired, seizing this opportunity to improve the camps for their own sake, for the sake of their children and those who should afterward enjoy the result of their endeavors. Plantation managers and other friends also gave hearty encouragement to the plan, in some eases to such an extent that the Tomo Prizes for the best results in tree-planting sank into insignificance. Mr. B. D. Baldwin offered a prize of Lihue, Kauai, Nov. 16th, 1909. $25 for the best results obtained on the Dear Sir: Makaweli plantation by the end of 1910. "I thank you very much for your Mrs. Hans Isenberg gave a carte kitid trouble for the trees.

I carried about ten boxes to Hanamaulu and gave them all before the Arbor Day, so many people planted trees on Arbor Day. My school boys and girls planted many trees in my school yard on that day. Mr. Weber is so kind for planting trees around Japanese camps. He gave men to dig holes to plant trees and made fences so nicely for two or three places near the public road. If the trees grow it will be a very nice view. All Japanese are so glad they got fences around their homes and planted trees. They promised with me to take care of the trees, to give water and clean the yards hereafter. When you make a visit next time upon us you may see some places nicely changed and trees growing. All people say, now Lihue Japanese have a very fine place. By and by Lihue will be number one place on Kauai. Many people hope to get some of the Cypress. These trees look very nice, so they like to get them very much. I told them they will get some after six months after, as you wrote to me the other day. May I ask your trouble to send any book or materials to study for trees or planting. We are expecting to study on the subject of planting trees. Mrs. H. Isenberg is very kind, to give help so much for fence posts and wires. Some people are now making little gardens around their houses. Please give thanks to her and also the officers of the Agriculture and Forestry Department for their kind trouble for sending trees this time. All Japanese are so thankful and glad for them." Thanks for Pictures. I am working now in Makaweli, Kauai, always visiting laborers' houses for missicrary work. I found that they all feel very lonely with nothing to interest them. Then I was thinking what to do. Just in time, Rev. Frank Scudder sentI to me very plenty of nice pictures. was to divide these among the Japanese of our camp.

But the soil of barbarism is very porous; and the application of Christian ethics to democratic social tillage is still a matter of many years of social engineering. In short, the present developed police power of the Territory cannot meet the liquor situation. It can help and is ready to help, and In the long run It would win. But the present need is too great to wait for a remotely future remedy. Hawaii Is the Capitol of American peace, and the model of American missions. The federal government ought to control, can control, the liquor traffic in the islands. The ports are in its hands. The federal officers are capable and locally unentangled. Its power is respected and feared. The federal judges are independent, and very able. The federal government ought to take the matter In charge promptly and finally. The native people are entitled to it. The best interests of the army and navy demand it. All classes of helpful and honorable business men would favor it. And the object lesson would be famous throughout the world. I therefore ask your earnest cooperation in an effort to secure the passage of Senate BUI 1862 now pending in Congress giving prohibition to Hawaii. which keeps American Samoa safe from the saloon; ought to Include Hawaii. But the Territory Is unequal to this plain duty, though well enough disposed, until the sturdy, middle-class democracy arrives. It has not arrived, and Is not yet beginning to arrive.

The time Is not far away when they will be an Important factor In politics. Twenty thousand are Chinese. Sixteen thousand are Portuguese. Seven thousands are hybrids. And ten thousand are AngloSaxon. A percentage of the beneficiaries of Hawaiian plantations reside away from the Islands.

Best wish to all friends in Hawaii. E. W. THWING. January, 1910 A Social Settlement in Japan. Miss Alice P. Adams, an American Board missionary of Okayama, Japan, stopped over in Honolulu on her return to her field, in order to interest the Japanese of this city in the work of the Hanabatake (Flower Garden) Christian Social Settlement, at Okayama, of which she is the enthusiastic superintendent. This work was started eighteen years ago under her care and now has seven departments, all free and all for the very poor: 1, Evangelistic; 2, Educational; 3, Industrial; 4, Medical; 5, Bath; 6, Boys' Club; 7, Loan Association. As a result of the work of this Settlement the whole neighborhood has gradually improved and people who were strongly anti-Christian have been won over to aid in its support. The following vivid account of Miss Adams' work and influence has been written for The Friend by Mrs. John T. Gulick: Told in Japanese. The recent visit of Miss Alice P. Adams of Okayama, japan, was an event of much interest to many of the Japanese residents of Honolulu. On Sunday evening November 28, she spoke to an audience of over three hundred of that nationality at the Nuuanu Japanese church and the interest manifested in her address was very marked. No time was wasted on an interpreter as none was needed. Her subject was the work in which she is engaged in Okayama. Miss Adams has been a missionary of the W. B. M. I. for about nineteen years. Beginnings. On taking up work in Okayama she was obliged to pass through the very poorest portion of the city as she went to and fro in her attendance upon her The children of the Sunday school. neighborhood amused themselves by �January, 1910 THE throwing small stones and dirt at the strange foreign woman and by saluting her with uncomplimentary epithets. These children did not look clean, happy or comfortable and Miss Adams sympathy went out to them. To show her kindly feeling toward them she began to distribute among them copies of illustrated American newspapers which, of course ,they could not read but they liked the pictures. These newspapers paved the way for a closer acquaintance and when Christmas came, Miss Adams invited quite a number of the children to her house for a little entertainment at the close of which they begged to be allowed to come again. Miss Adams appointed the next Sunday for the meeting telling them however, that there would be no sweetmeats and no gifts. This satisfied them and the Sunday school thus begun has continued to the present time. Out of it has grown a day school, evening school and regular preaching services, also a genuine settlement work with boys' clubs, and girls' sewing-classes, free baths, free dispensary and a small hospital. Five of the city physicians freely give certain hours of their time to this work and Japanese friends furnish the means for the purchase of medicines. A Blind Woman's Gifts. Many interesting incidents were given which show the results of this work in individual cases. One blind woman who with her son had been helped by the mission found a way of earning 30 sen (15 cents) a month came to Miss Adams with the money she had earned and giving her 10 sen said: "I want to give this 10 sen toward heating the bath. I have had so many baths here." Then handing her another 10 sen she said "I want this to go toward buying medicines for the dispensary." And giving her the third 10 sen she said, "Please use this 10 sen toward the expense of the evangelistic work." Since that time the blind woman has shown her gratitude for what she has received by bringing her "little all," 30 sen a month as her contribution to the work. Teaching Her Father. A little girl troubled that her father was a gambler, plead with him to give it up, telling him that she had learned at school that it was wrong to gamble. When she saw that he was not wholly ready to change his habits she began to think. "Father can't read, he can't write and of course he is lonely. I will teach him." So she got out her books and assuring him that reading and writing were exceedingly interesting, the little daughter, every evening taught her father what she had learned during the day at school. The result was that he ceased to gamble, went to work, and is now supporting his family. One of the boys reached by Miss Adams' work is now a student in the Doshisha Theological Seminary. Miss Adams has just spent her vacation in the United States, and the Japanese whom she met while in the States contributed $2,600 for the erection of a building to be used in connection with her work. A collection was taken at the meeting in the Nuuanu Church which amounted to more than fifty dolIn all, the Honolulu Japanese lars. contributed $230 for the building.

I have taught Sunday school classes on the way in Chicago, Washington, Glasgow and London in Presbyterian, Congregational, Wesleyan and Baptist denominations; classes of young girls, young ladies and boys and in no class did I have a scholar who could tell where Honolulu was or the Hawaiian islands. Christian Endeavor Societies I have found and visited in Ireland, Scotland, England and France. Hearthy welcome is given everywhere to visitors from Hawaii. Honolulu Sunday schools seem to me much more cheerful than any I have visited. Most of those I have seen are held in the afternoon in basements of churches and at this time of year in the gloaming or in the dark. A great many childrens' meetings are held after dark. Wearing a collar put on bankwards is a universal badge of the clergy here of all denominations. The pastor of the American church in Paris has adopted it. To describe the places we have seen would be tedious and only repeat what others have written before. In Cologne we saw Zeppelin's dirigible balloon over the cathedral, causing great excitement in the streets below. We have enjoyed as much as any part of our trip two walks. The first was up the Rhine from St. Goar's to Bingen. We called to the Loreley who answered us sweetly and clearly. Though it was not the season for ripe grapes, autumn colors made the hills along the way beautiful. The second walk was quite different, being a twenty-nine mile walk through the snow over the Simphon Pass through the Alps to Italy. It was snowing when we started and in taking short cuts we may have missed the way a little for we took much longer than our guide book says was necessary, not reaching the highest point (a little above the elevation of the west Maui mountains) until about three in the afternoon when we were glad to stop for the night at a Our supper hospice kept by monks. with the three monks was most interesting and we managed to let them know �18 THE where we lived and that we were on a trip round the world and that the queer stove at which we had warmed ourselves was made in the year of my birth though we spoke no Italian and but little French and the monks spoke those languages only. The names of but few Americans appeared in the visitors' book of the hospice but we found the name of one member of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, Ruth Cornelia Shaw, written there last July. The snow had been well packed down on our climb up (a goatherd with a score of two-colored goats went ahead of us part of the way tramping the path) but during the night was a heavy fall of snow and as we started down toward Italy about seven in the morning we had to walk through snow a foot deep for several miles before other travelers had made an easy way for us. The universal snow must have made the scene superior to any seen by those who only go over in midsummer. In the Gorge of Gondo a narrow gorge with walls two thousand feet high there was some blasting as we came through. The effect of the echoes was tremendous. It sounded for a moment as though that were an avalanche. With best wishes to you and your • household, • Aloha nui, LYLE A. DICKEY. j» A great joy is in store for those Cousins who are yet to hear of the munificent gift to the Society of the old coral Chamberlain house. To own this house, has been a pet idea of Dr. A. B. Clark ever since his return to Hawaii nei, and the Chamberlain heirs have refused tempting offers, hoping that this place of history-making, this building hallowed by memories of the early days, might continue to speak the message of love and service which the fathers and mothers built into its walls. The longing to possess the building has grown in the hearts of the Cousins, and petitions have ascended to Him who said, "Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear." Negotiations have been under way for some time, and the transfer was made in October, but on December 13th, at a meeting of the Board of Managers, the SGo d FRIEND, January, 1910 president, G. R. Carter, read a statement, making public the fact that, "Through the generosity of the Chamberlain heirs, of the sons of C. M. Cooke in memory of their father, and of I!. R. Banning, the transfer was made and the property was deeded to the Society as a memorial of the Sandwich Island Mission." Plans have been submitted for the renovation of the building, and as soon as money is available such changes will be made as shall make it suitable for storing and preserving relics of the old mission. There will also be an assembly room, a library, and a fireproof vault. Another generous gift was from the Castles, who bought and deeded to the Society the frame house adjoining the coral building, with the lot on which it stands. This makes possible other interesting and important changes, helpful to the city as well as to the Society. flag Dec. 2.

The coming of this Hamburg-American liner with 650 tourists en route from New York to San Francisco will mark a new era in Hawaii if it lead to the suspension of the coastwise shipping laws for this Territory. The absurdity of these laws is apparent to everyone as soon as personal contact therewith occurs. A law that makes such distinguished public servants as a Cabinet officer like Mr. Strauss and a Governor of the Territory like Mr. Frear lawbreakers simply because they are zealous in their duty is an outrage. If the 650 tourists of the Clark party bring their influence to bear upon their representatives in the National Senate and House it may be possible to secure the attention of these legislators to the injustice from which Hawaii is suffering. The trouble is to get the attention of Senators and Congressmen in the face of the persistent opposition of the protected industries which always close ranks and fight against everything that threatens the slightest encroachment upon their prerogatives. Slowly the American people are being educated against every sort of special privilege. The Ship Subsidy Bill finds unexpected enemies. If it can be kept from enactment through one or two more Congresses its specter will have been laid forever. For by that time the nation will have had its eyes opened and the era of tariff domination will have begun to wane. Meantime let us continue to fight here for freedom of transportation. Already one influential San Francisco paper, the Argonaut, has been moved by the spirit of fairness to side with Hawaii. This is a blessed sign of the times, for hitherto that city has with strange fatality fought against Island interests with singleness of heart. If our great neighbor would only awake to the truth that the development of this Territory means larger things for itself, the two communities would move ahead side by side in mutually strengthening friendship. Why not? The interests of both lie along the line of the peaceful friendly evolution of the Pacific world. When San Francisco ends its anti-Asian crusade and takes up the cause of the community of interests that should bind all the peoples fronting the Pacific into a co-operating whole, it will assume its proper place as leader in No. 2 the grandest historic movement of the coming century. Like everything else good this movement will consist of many details. One of these is the cause of freedom of transportation. Our miserable coastwise laws now fetter this. The very first step in the process should be their suspension so far as Hawaii is concerned. The Japanese School Scare. Klsewhere we print the report of the so-called Japanese Christian Boarding School. This institution is a misnomer. It is not a school at all and never has been. It is a home for Japanese boys and girls who attend Honolulu schools. It has proved to be one of the choicest institutions in the Islands. Here Mr. and Mrs. Okumura have for years gathered a few orphaned little ones together with many children of parents who labor on plantations, and whose boys and girls are exposed to the sad conditions which there menace family life. A few young men have also been welcomed by Mr. Okumura as helpers. In this refuge these children have found a Christian home. Mrs. Okumura has taken the 60 or more little ones into her motherly heart and cared for them as her own. Mr. Okumura has been more than a father to them. As a consequence the boys and girls who have gone from this home have borne a singularly noble impress. There is no institution in Hawaii that is doing more to produce out of Japanese boys and girls true-hearted, loyal, American, Christian citizens than this unselfish pastor's home. It has done its work amid poverty. It is always in debt. Yet its atmosphere is unique, and its spirit embodies the very best that Japan and America produce. In olden days when the Shoguns ruled the Sunrise Empire and public schools were unknown, here and there a Samurai blessed with the spirit of Froebel would gather into his home a few boys and not only teach them the learning of his land but share with them his own high spirit of unselfishness and love of country. Out of these jiku, as they were called, Japan's great men came. These home schools were the nurseries of all that was best in that country. Now to this beautiful ideal Mr. and Mrs. Okumura have joined Ameri- �4 ca's conception of the Christian Home. Because it would have been impossible to secure teachers with the lack of means and because public school life in America offers such large advantages, it was impossible to make this a true jiku, that is technically a school. But all the ideal features of the jiku were kept, that is, the culture of the spirit. Hence out of this Japano-American Christian home have come a band of fine youths. One of these is one of the most successful evangelists our Hawaiian Board has in its Japanese work. Another is just taking a course of study at home to fit him to enter this work. A third is busy under the joint employ of the Board and Makiki Church preparing himself for evanThree others are spegelistic service. cializing along like lines. In fact this home is proving our best theological training school, turning out men familiar with the field, in sympathy both with the Japanese and American point of view, who will prove invaluable helpers. Our plantation managers could not do a better thing than set aside a few hundred dollars a year to assist Mr. and Mrs; Okumura in their noble work, and thus free them from the burden of debt under which they have struggled so unselfishly the past decade. More of the Same. Now wherever this home has moved, and it has led a peripatetic life, it has been dreaded by its new American One irate boarding house neighbors. keeper some years ago threatened to bring suit if it came next door to him. Visions of mischievous schoolboys, fancies of outlandish music and discordant! noises troubled his sleep and worried his days. He consented to wait and see. Experiment converted him into a friend. He lost not a boarder because of his new neighbors, but speedily came to be their friend. The sale of the Hyde premises on Beretania Street to the Rapid Transit Company necessitates the moving of Mr. OkUmura's home. Meanwhile the removal of Mills Institute to Manoa Valley, soon to be consummated, will give room for the older boys who now stay with him. The younger children he wishes to keep in his family until they can be graduated into the Mid-Pacific. Naturally, as pastor of Makiki Church, Mr. Okumura desired a site for his home Instantly the rumor in that vicinity. started that the Hawaiian Board wished to erect a Japanese camp there, and hysterics followed. The Board is not in the camp building business. Its purpose is not to depreciate either its own or other people's property. If it should purchase THE FRIEND land near the Makiki Church as a parsonage site for the minister, no damage whatever would result to anyone. Mr Okumura's quiet home would be found objectionable to no one. After experience the neighbors would realize that it was a helpful force in their vicinity, and their interest would be enlisted by the quiet, orderly conduct and courteous character of the children therein trained. Meantime we commend Mr. Okumura's semiannual report to all our readers. The Vacant Lot Crusade. A copy of the third report, 1908-9, of the Vacant Lot Gardening Association of New York City has just come to hand. The motto of this association is "Help others to help themselves." Its aim is to relieve poverty by giving the poor remunerative gardening to do. Vacant lot owners were found willing to allow their lots to be cultivated. These were subdivided into plots and the distressed people were induced to take each a plot and cultivate it seed free. The results were beyond expectation, and other cities, notably Buffalo, became interested. From this beginning the association induced applicants for relief to leave tenements and live in tents in the open air cultivating plots of land close to their tents. This was found both to benefit wonderfully the health of the tenter's family and to stimulate the longing to live outside the city. The third step was to secure land in the country near the city and start families on acre lots. The work has developed slowly but with fine results, and thus one more effective blow is being struck at that vast modern death trap the city tenement. One of the saddest features of Honolulu growth at the present is the craze for erecting tenement blocks. Large barnlike, flimsy structures unhygienic, menacing home life, breeders of vice and gambling, these hideous buildings are the direst foes to pure home life and clean character that we have. Fortunately the attention of the city is being turned to them thru their menace to the community as fire traps. Honolulu should not have a single tenement house. Plenty of good open land for cottages is on every hand. A few well constructed dormitories for young men erected in accordance with hygienic requirements may be a necessity, but some way should be found to prevent the nuisance of the The one-family onefamily tenement. cottage plan is the only safe expedient for this city if we are ever to Americanize our alien population. As far as possible each such home should have its garden plot where flowers and vegetables Will not some of can be cultivated. February, 1910 Honolulu's public spirited men and women of wealth give this subject consider- ation and plan to make our city ideal by fostering little homes and by making family tenement houses impossible? Palama's experience shows that the business may be financed successfully. A return of from 6 to 10 per cent may be secured without question if the project be carefully engineered. The Campaign of Letters. "This lot of letters has done much for the natives in the good opinion of the mainland," is one of the latest words from Mr. Woolley. He refers to the Splendid letter-writing campaign put up by the Hawaiian people in behalf of prohibition of the liquor traffic in this terriThe extei.t tory by national legislation. to which this quiet but effective procedure has been employed by the people all about us is as yet unknown even to the warmest friends of the temperance cause. ()nc church, Kaumakapali, has secured the writing of 1177 personal letters by Hawaiians- Some of these are slaves to drink who beg the Congressmen to deliver them from the terrible traffic. Many relatives of drunkards beseech the aid of National lawmakers. Children with debauched parents have pictured in childish language their sufferings. It has been a spontaneous movement, the suggestion once made has been carried out by individuals in their own fashion. All the islands have shared in it and Congress hns been flooded with these personal appeals. The result has been nothing less than a revelation. It is safe to say that Congress never conceived so forcefully the possibilities of the native Hawaiians. They are looking into the very heart of this people and are beginning to realize that prohibition here is on a totally different basis from that on the mainland. There it is an exotic, here it has lived in the experience of a race ever since the Great Kamehameha directed the mind of his nation to the hideous menace of intoxicants. What Congress will do it is too early to prophecy. But we urge all the friends of Hawaii to redouble their prayers and efforts to influence Washington to grant us the relief which will save the Hawaiian race. The Lahainaluna Decision. Once more the Supreme Court of the Nation has reversed our Territorial Supreme Court in the now famous Lahainaluna case. The cable reports that the reversal is on every point. The first decision of the National court was so sweep- �February, iqio THE ing that it seemed to leave the local Court hainaluna property and good will for slim basis for a second judgment ad- $15,000. verse to the American Board. To some persons it seemed as tho the court were exhausting its resources however to find a ground that would stand the test of the higher examination. But if so it availed We have heard whispered nothing. opinions that when the Court hears a case which involves the Territory it appears to feel it to be its duty to decide if possible for the government rather than to ask what justice demands. We do not share this opinion because we are not in possession of data upon which to ground any) such criticism. We would be very loth to credit such a view because a Court has no business to be swayed by the personnel of the contending parties in a controversy submitted to it. Its only raison d'etre is to find the right. But human justice is a subtle and evasive quest. Points of view differ. The Territorial Court elected to take one and the National Court the other, owever to the man on the street the Lahainaluna case had a very simple face. The American Board built the Lahainaluna school, expended more than $70,000 thereon and gave it teachers who made it what it was. No body of men on earth in their senses are going to sacrifice a property like this for nothing. The Board traded it to a government who could deliver a class of goods most valuable to the Board. Those goods were a certain religious impress. The United States Government succeeded to the privileges and engagements of the Hawaiian sovereigns. This government by its constitution is prevented from delivering the goods stipulated in the original contract. Hence it owed the forfeit, namely, the $15,000 pledged at the time of transfer. It is futile for the government to plead "we do give the religious impress stipulated;" because even if at any given moment it should chance to do this thru the excellent personality of some teacher, it violates its own constitution in so doing, it can give no possible guarantee of the continuance of the impress, nay it is pledged by its organic law not to continue it. It is to be judged not by what it winks at but by what in justice to its own law of being it must do. This is so clear that all pleading to the contrary seems sophistry to the simple soul unlearned in the law. Of course the Territory may turn Lahainaluna over to the American Board Trustees in lieu of the $15,000. In either case the work of the Fathers will be maintained by the forfeit which the government makes. The interests of education for manhood will merely be enhanced by this decision of the National Supreme Court. Looked at by the man on the street the Territory gets a mighty cheap bargain, the La- 5 FRIEND Tidings of a Friend. Friends of the Rev. Curtis E. Shields, in Hawaii—and they are many—will be glad to know that after leaving the Islands as soon as he was ready to take a pastorate he was called at once to a very promising field in Defiance, Ohio, a city of 10,000 people. Here a fine church engaged in erecting a new meeting house wanted him and he is both settled and hard at work. Mr. Shields will do well wherever he goes because he has the right stuff in him. THE SCHOOL FUND COMMISSION FEELER. Messrs. Bowen, Farrington and Wood, the commission appointed by Governor Frear to study the question of methods of raising funds for public education and to recommend some plan that will rescue our territorial school system from the chaos that now characterizes its financial life, have done very wisely in issuing a feeler in the shape of a little pamphlet embodying suggestions which are submitted for criticism. These tentative propositions are three in number: first, a plan for the preparation of the Budget of Estimates ; second, a proposal to levy a mill tax; and third, a recommendation to increase the annual poll tox, and reserve a definite part thereof for school support. The Friend has been asked by the commission to express its mind upon these suggestions and to offer some of its own. It is happy to comply with the request. First, the plan for preparing the Budget of Estimates. Viewed superficially it seems cumbersome as it calls for the co-operation of no less than five separate sets of reviewers, the Department of Education, a special Board of Estimates, the Governor, the Joint Committees of the Legislature and the Legislature itself. However, it is not as heavy with red tape as it seems, because it adds only one to the present number of inquisitorial units, the special Board of Estimates. The suggestion comes from former Superintendent Babbitt and embodies the results of his experience. Evidently he hopes that such a Board will enable the superintendent to influence Governor and Legislature not to knife the Edu cational Department's estimates so cruelly as has been their habit for the last half dozen years. And the people are with him in this longing. Hence by all means give us the Board of Estimates if it can squeeze out larger appropriations. Second, the proposal to levy a mill tax for purely educational purposes. This is excellent. Hawaii is richer than the rest of the American Union in annual per capita production of wealth. Yet it spends a niggardly $2.07* per capita on its public schools annually, against the mainland's average of $3.66. Compare its record with that of the following Western States: $6.07 North Dakota 6.08 Utah ; California 6.58 Colorado 6.98 8.02 Washington to tax We ought be willing to ourselves more for our public schools. By all means, give us the mill tax as a permanent source of supply. Third, the proposed increased poll tax. We know of no state with a poll tax higher than $1.00. Hawaii levies $500 and the proposition now is to make this $8.00, and apply $5.00 thereof to publid education. At present $2.00 of the poll tax is deceitfully called a school tax. As a matter of fact it is no such thing and the suggestion that this falsehood be ended by turning the school tax over to the Department of Education is in the interests of honesty. The whole question of our poll tax, however, is a miserable one. In the first place, clergymen are exempt, presumably because they would be sure to pay, and the great mass of them are ill able to afford it. Again, it is said that no great pressure is brought to bear upon the mass of Hawaiians to cause them to obey the law, because the tax is so inordinately high. Furthermore, the tax is believed to be aimed chiefly at Asiatics. Inasmuch as it is impossible to collect successfully, generally the plantations, pay for them. The principle is thoroughly bad. A law levying a tax which it is not the intention of the law makers to collect from many of those who are legally bound to pay it, invites its own infringement, essence wrong. It in and is has no place in the statute books of a law and order loving community. A proposal to enact more such law deserves rejection and our present poll tax law should be repealed or amended into honesty. As for further suggestions we have only one at present to offer. Ever since the famous North-West Ordinance of 1787 Congress has consistently fostered the cause of public education in its new territories, has often decreed that certain lands be set aside for the support of schools, and has ratified constitutions of new states containing such provisions. In the case of Hawaii the Organic Act did practically nothing for public education.

It is too early to make any specific prediction about federal prohibition in Hawaii, but our fight for it has opened most favorably in Congress, and by the time this letter appears in The Friend for February it may be supplemented with important cable news. At any ratt it may be said conservatively and confidently that the temperance cause in the Islands is receiving great reinforcement from the mainland. The presentation of the need for or ganized total abstinence work, combining strong social and musical features, among the native Hawaiians was received by the Grand Lodge of Good Templars with instant and most cordial sympathy, and the National Grand Lodge is preparing to put a trained organizer at work establishing a line of lodges throughout the This effort in the interest Territory. of total abstinence promises very rich returns, even if the licensed saloon is to continue, but if the beverage liquor trade becomes an outlaw it will still be very useful, for in my opinion both on the islands and the mainland, no matter how successful we may be in securing prohibitory legislation we must return to the fundamental personal equation, in the interest of individual betterment and the enforcement of public law. From Santa Cruz, California, where I met the Good Templars, on October 12-14, I traveled eastward slowly, addressing large audiences on the way. I wish somebody could have reported those meetings to my critics in Honolulu who call me an outside meddler engaged in giving the islands a bad name. On that trip I made ten thousand people directly, and I don't know how many more indirectly, understand clearly that Hawaii is America at Its most beautiful, and from the standpoint of world power, its best. It is astonishing how vague and foreign the mainland idea of us is, and 1 enjoy a very comfortable consciousness that I am doing good work in that direction on this trip. But, of course, I did not fail to say that the old serpent of the earlier Eden, cold-blooded, red-eyed, split-tongued. bellys its poison way beneath our palms. whispering lies to the ignorant and the weak—traitor to industry, traitor to order, traitor to health, traitor to law, traitor to school, traitor to soldier, sailor, missionary—and has a license. At Chicago, December 7th, the opening gun of the National Convention of the American Anti-Saloon League was fired in the Chicago Opera House, where I told the story of the liquor plague in Hawaii, from the escaped convicts who brought it there a hundred years ago, to the frightened poison blenders of the present day. Then and there two members of Congress pledged themselves to help the Johnson bill through Congress and prophesied that it would pass. At Washington, December 17, the Senate Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico met to hear my argument, and from the questions asked by the Senators and their close attention it was abundantly evident that they were interested, and those of us who took part in the hearing felt strongly justified in believing that a majority was favorably inclined. A neatly printed pamphlet containing the protest of the territorial legislature, was already in the hands of every SenI ator and was dealt with first of all. reckon that it was completely disposed of by our mere suggestion that as a matter of law the territorial relation was based on the theory that the federal government carried the right and the duty of control, and that, without any affront to the citizens involved. For the rest, an analysis of the Hawaiian legislature and a few life-like sketches of its liquor personnel appeared to be interesting and convincing. The patriotic anxiety of the legislature about popular rights dropped with a dull thud before the statement of fact, that the mere mention of a plebescjte to let the Hawaiian people pass on the liquor question would throw their misrepresentatives into hysterics. For my argument in behalf of the Hawaiian people I read from the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, the interview of Prince Cupid—an ideal statement of our case by the best possible authority. And the case on behalf of the army and navy was self-evident. In this first hearing I took pains to publish all the weaknesses of our position and all the criticism made upon it. together with the authorship of them. And in this connection I made a clean breast as to the low temperature of my own relation to the territorial statesmanship and that my activity was resented as that of a meddling outsider with a salary. I made it clear that I was not the author February, 1910 nor instigator of the Johnson bill, and had been in entire ignorance of it until it appeared in the newspapers, but that 1 had been instructed by my board, representing, in general, the Christian and educational interests and activities of the islands, to give all the aid in my power to the bill, and that I was backed by practically the whole body of well informed and well disposed native people. One Senator remarked grimly, "They all seem to be writing letters to me." I am very proud of the fact that the Christian men and women of the islands. the teachers and educated youth of the whole group, have let loose an avalanche of letters and petitions which in volume and in subject matter has instantly compelled the attention of both houses of Congress. One Senator asked me if I did not expect a counter current of letters and petitions. I answered that I thought it could not be produced, but that if it could we should welcome it with enthusiasm, for we desired nothing better than to fight it out in the open. Of course, it can't be produced. Churches, schools, social settlements, missions and Christian men and women can't be had for that. And such people as can be had for such correspondence can't write convincingly, except adversely, to their own purpose. One of the most powerful Senators said to me privately, "You ought to win, and I think you will, but you are in for a big fight;" and a leading representative said, "If you can get past the Senate your bill will pass the House." I replied, "I have here a bill which I wish to have introduced in the House. Will you take charge of it?" And he said, "Yes." I have written hastily and frankly, with full knowledge that the enemy will read, and do its worst. So be it. We are not playing politics, but fighting above board, for the bodies and souls of men and the honor of the flag, and I want the readers of The Friend to see the fighting. We may not win, but we have a fighting chance to. And remember this. If we fail the responsibility will be at the door of the missionary whites. Give me the whole weight of their influence and I'll bring back the scalp of the liquor wolf. Washington, D. C, Doc. 20, 1909. /s Your Japanese Servant a Christian? Let him have THE TOMO Every Month.

Space will not permit to give even a review of these reports, but a few statements from the minister's message will, we are sure, be of general interest: "The year 1909 is likely to prove unique in the history of our church, because we can hardly a second time expect the men to best the women in ay n bers of new members." "We have never done so well in bene- 9 tages is the one agency that is definitely fighting them in Honolulu. Central Union men and women are in every local movement for civic betterment. They number nine out of the thirteen members of the Central Anti-Tuberculosis Committee, not by any concerted campaign of election but in accordance with natural selection. They arc at the front in trying to better politics, some thru the regular political organizations, others thru that free lance, the Civic Federation. The Men's League spent $667 in itself in 1909. In 1910 it will more than double that figure for others. The Women's Society is bound to even up this record." "Too many churches," cries Prophet Gladden, "are sponges rather than springs of influence —which devote their energies to building themselves up out of the community instead of Joining themselves into the community in streams of service, which have not learned that it is as true of churches as of men, that they who would save their lives lose them." I believe Central Union is making the wise choice between these two sorts of church life." Without exception the reports showed splendid progress and again reminded us how large a responsibility rests upon this church and its members to carry on these many lines of work with efficiency. volent contributions. The total for the year was $15,735, which was $3,290 better than in 1908. The figures are as follows: A. A.

S, S. 11l i THE FARMER'S CALL. ROYAL EXAMPLE. In the rosy-fingered dawn of history Some twenty centuries agone Our country's breeze—swept fields waved far and near With crops of rice and barley, wheat and corn. Once strayed our people from the gracious rule Of their true sovereign. Then Feudal lords Held sway, and Samurai with proud contempt looked down upon the swordless farming class. Encouraged by the Emperor, people crowned But when our Heaven-descended Emperor Resumed his right, he forthwith, by a word, All classes on an equal footing placed, And thus again the farmer's rank restored. Thus in the soil our forbears laid secure Foundations for Japan's prosperity, Bequeathing this rich heritageto us, To have and hold it for our native land. First, dazzled by the new light from the West, Our youth forsook the tilling of the soil, Esteeming it a calling too obscure Compared with new found opportunities. The hills and Allied the vales with thrifty homes And tilled the soil, while from their hearths the smoke. Like incense from contented altars, rose. Accept, my countrymen, the sacred trust. Spurn not the farmer's calling; honor it, Adorn it. Search the world for new ideas; Be experts in the art of husbandry. Then we a higher principle discerned; T'was this:—that any work is honorable That's honorably performed; and character May thrive on farms, well as in Senate halls. II THE OPEN DOOR. Say not the land is narrow. Lift your eyes! For northward lie Hokkaido, Wagalicn; And southward, Loochoo, and Formosa too, All in the Sunrise Kingdom,—beckoning you. — Abroad, Korea and Manchuria, Hawaii nei, and all America, Both North and South, a tempting opening Present to faithful tillers of the soil. Among the first-fruits of his farm, we hold He ought to raise a noble character. Of all vocations, none affords a chance More rare to grow in manly excellence. Does not that man his character adorn Who gives the finished touch to all his work, Who gives full weight, and measure shaken down, And guards his neighbor's welfare as his own? To gain unfair advantage, men sometimes Have sent abroad dishonest goods, and thus Have brought our country Into disrepute And dragged Japan's fair name In foreign dust. To us then, farmers, louder sounds the call To spurn dishonesty. With honest goods, With silk of matchless texture, let us win Again from other lands praise for our own. Did not Ninomiya, our farmer sage, Regard himself of holy Heavea called The plow to follow? We, like him, may make Our farms the stepping stones to cherished fame. The farm our country doth enrich. It turns Waste places into gold. For dreadful war The sinews it supplies, of blessed peace Its peaceful folk the best defenders are. Written to higher Ideals in their daily work. Translated ol the author. (or And did not Washington, who left his plow To found a mighty commonwealth, forthwith Return again to husbandry, and say Farms are the basis of our nation's power? On that foundation reared, America, Replenishing the earth, has blessed mankind. Consider, too, the varied industries The farmer has from which to choose. He plants Fruit-bearing trees and forest trees; he breeds Live-stock and fowls, and raises grain and silk.

Her cup o'erflows, for she is "Farmer's Land." THE FARMER'S RECOMPENSE. A wholesome moral influence pervades The farmer's home. No dreams of sudden wealth Unbalance him. He can not fondly hope The soil will yield a fortune in a day. A little patch of ground he first acquires. And tills it to perfection. Then, by thrift, He adds to- that a field, and still to this An acre, till at last he owns a farm. Who better know than they who labor hard That labor is its own reward? To such, Success well earned, strong arms, and robust health Repay sevenfold the irksomeness of toil. Who such remuneration finds as one Who works in partnership with Mother Earth? Says he, "I touch the ground and make it sing, I plant it, and it smiles at me with flowers. — When to some neighboring mountain height I climb What joy to view the landscape I have made, Its waving crops, and trees with luscious fruits, The berry-bushes, grapes, and melon vines! Those meadows, dotted with my flocks of sheep! Those groves, whose shade my cows and horses love, And 'mid whose branches flitting, all the birds Of God's blue heaven build their nests and sing!" �February, THE iqio v THE COST OF CHARACTER.

TAKAHASHI AND HIS BIBLE CLASS A PITIFUL TRAGEDY A bolt from the blue sky has fallen upon the family of Mr S. Takahashi, our noble evangelist of Makaweli, whose picture is in the centre of the above group of young men. On the 22nd of January Mrs. Takahashi underwent a serious operation in Palama Hospital. On the next evening Mr. Takahashi was riding over a rather dangerous road to hold a preaching service in Makaweli Camp 4. Some time afterwards his horse returned riderless. Search was made for him and he was found unconscious at the bottom of a cliff three hours after he had fallen. Three days later his spirit took its flight to the side of the Master to whom he had so devotedly given his life and strength. Two days after the accident a letter came to his wife which her husband had written a few hours before his fatal fall, encouraging her to bear cheerfully the suf- fering in the hospital, and hoping she would soon be able to join him in carrying out their larger plans for work in the camps. The loss of so noble a friend and worker seems too hard to accept, but what of the poor wife and three children who in addition to the sorrow, must also fa-e the future! Mr. Takahashi had a truly remarkable gift in winning men, and holding them in complete devotion to his ideals. His Sunday school and his church services produced a profound impression of reverent orderliness and careful, painstaking training. During his two years' service in Makaweli he has rescued to manhood and trained to service twice the number of men that appear in the above photo, and that in a field where at first he found hardly a single adherent. Always scholarly, yet preaching straight from a burning heart, and with a voice which of itself at once caught the attention and won the heart, Mr. Takahashi was always welcomed as a speaker and invariably left the impression of man with a great and important message which had taken possession of his life and which he longed to have take possession of his hearers. He had recently prepared two books especially adapted to conditions in Hawaii, one on the subject, "A Young Man's Preparation for Life," another entitled "Counsel to Parents." His untimely death will add new interest to the "Ode to the Farmer" which appears in this issue. Where are we to look for the successor of such a man ? May his fall be like that of the Hon. lon Keith Falconer, by the inspiration of whose death after a short service in Aden, two vigorous missions were established in neglected Arabia! �THE FRIEND. 12 February, 1910 hope that their quest shall be fraught whom otherwise the wonderful story ot with the largest success. the comng of the Christ child would be unknown.

Educational Advance sent �February, THE iqio Men Working for Men PAUL SUPER The first decade of the century has been a great one in Y. M. C. A. work in the U. S. and Canada. During these ten years the Association has grown wonderfully in every department. The membership has reached 465,000, these associations owning property which in ten years has grown from $26,000,000 to $66,500,000. The educational department has grown from 998 teachers teaching 25,900 students to 49,148 students with 2184 instructors. These students paid $375,000 in tuition last year. The physical department has grown from 80.373 members to 216,262, and in addition to this 194,425 men and boys have received physical instruction outside the membership. The 243 railroad associations now number 75,721 members. We Smile. Some misinformed people have said the Y. M. C. A. of today is not what it formerly was as a religious agency. They are right, but for a reason different from the one they imagine. We smile as we show that whereas ten years ago 4438 men and boys were won to the Christian life thru Association agencies, last year the number reached the fine figure of 20,116. This was brought about in part by an attendance of 2,767,472 at religious meetings, compared with 1,027,242 ten years ago, and 68,700 enrolled in Bible classes as compared with but 13,676 in 1900. The College Men. 13 FRIEND country towns. The foreign work has advanced its firing line till now 86 secretaries are working in i5 countries, with 84 associated native secretaries. These facts make us proud of our organization, thankful to God for his great blessings, and give us a sense of responsibility. The Y. M. C. A. must do the big work to which it has been called, and for which men have provided it equipment. JS The Boys. The boys are now to have their innings. For a long time the boys' clubs and the Y. C. A. Boys have been neglected till a man could be found to devote his time to this department. Mr. R. S. Gault arrived the first of January and has taken charge. He has already demonstrated his ability to lead the boys, and will soon have the clubs and boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. in good running condition. Boys' work offers a large field in Honolulu, but a peculiarly hard one owing to the difficulty of getting the boys indoors. Mr. Gault is-not afraid of work and we look for results. The Soldiers. The Association has held several meetings at Fort Ruger recently, addressed by Rev. A. C. McKeever. No man in Honolulu is so popular with the men of the service as is Mr. McKeever, and the boys at the fort turned out in good numbers to hear him. The series of talks being given at Fort Ruger will be given at Fort Dv Rusey as soon as conditions are favorable. Many of the men from the ranks take advantage of the educational department of the Association, and are learning to be bookkeepers and stenographers after they are mustered out of the army. One of the most encouraging things to see is the great growth of religious work among college men, till now every third college man in America belongs to the Association, which in college is strictly a religious organization, having no educational or physical work. Further, 33,000 college men are in Bible J» classes as compared with but 12,000 ten years ago. Social.

The last two appointments of the Governor have been from the Board of Directors of the Association. Mr. W. T. Pope, chairman of the educational department, becomes superintendent d public schools for the territory, and Judge Alexander Lindsay, Jr., also a director and teacher of commercial law in the night school, is appointed attorneygeneral. We are glad to have our judgment of these men confirmed by the chief executive of the territory, and that along the very line for which they were chosen directors, the one to head the educationa 1 work, the other to be the legal end of the Board. J* Plans for the Building. The officers of the Association have decided to secure plans for the new building by means of an architectural compe tition. M essrs. Dickey, Pinkham, Traphagen, Ripley, and York & Sawyer from the States have been asked to enter the competition, while it is thrown open to all local architects that care to enter. The competition opened February first, and plans must be in the hands of the building committee by April first. It will then take a month to finish the plans chosen and perhaps a month to let contracts. We now hope to break ground in June, and to complete the building in one year from that time. Double Last Year. The opening of the commercial law class under the leadership of Judge Lindsay brought 25 more men into the night school, making a total enrollment of 222, which is almost double last year's record, 114. There are still two months of school, and it is likely that the enrollment for this year will be more than double last year's total. This is a great record for Mr. Larimer, the new membership and educational secretary. The membership is also growing; 485 in the spring, it is now 655. 4 Dr. Scudder** Talks. The series of talks by Dr. Scudder on "Young America's Religious Problems" is to be given at the Association building Wednesday noons during Lent, beginning at 12:30 and closing at 12:55. Always helpful, the doctor is particularly happy in solving the problems a young man finds in his Christian religious thinking. �THE 14 Boys' Work Conference A dozen men interested in the work for boys met at the Myrtle Boat House Monday, January 24th, to plan the year's activities. It was the most enthusiastic meeting we have had in many months. As a result of this conference the boys' field will be put in shape and track meets and baseball games held there as soon as the work is finished. Th;> trade school at Palama will probably be discontinued, the government having awakened to the need of manual training and relieved the clubs of this work, in which it has pioneered. Clubs will be organized on three bases. Church clubs, affiliated with a church, school clubs, and district clubs. The interest the Oahu College teachers and students are taking in helping in the district clubs encourages us as well as adds valuable workers to the force. KAUAI NOTES. The Christmas season was duly celebrated by the Churches and Sunday schools on Kauai in spite of the very inclement weather. Most, if not all of the Sunday schools had Christmas trees or the equivalent, which brought joy to the hearts of the young people. The observance of Christmas in this way is becoming more and more general and has had a beneficial effect on the Sunday schools by increasing the numbers and stimulating the interest. The Old Historic Hawaiian church at Lihue is being enlarged and renovated, and will again be used by the Hawaiians for their church services. When the beautltui new Union church building was erected, the use of the old church was given up; but now, In order that both congregations may have their morning service at 11 a. ttV the old church will be brought into use again. The expense of enlarging and repairing will be met mostly by the Rice family. The Kapaa parish are the happy possessors of a fine new Sunday school hall witn a large seating capacity, such as is required on special occasions for Sunday school exhibitions, etc. It is very largely the gift of "Mother Rice." Kapaa is also making plans for a new parsonage. The Anahola people are working for a new Christjan Endeavor Hall such as that recently built at Kapaa. The money is mostly in hand and they expect to begin building soon. Rev. Wm. Kamau continues to give great satisfaction at Lihue where he has entered Into the work with an enthusiasm which is being crowned with success. At Waimea Rev. J. A.

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

Manaso, »Ho is the preacher at Honokohau and Klfiaiu loa, Mr. Yee Kui, our Chinese evangel**a and Mr. Sam T. Kaiepa, for many years much esteemed pastor, but of late not in the ministry, have been gathering at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage every Tuesday for deeper study of the "things of God." The course has been somewhat varied to suit the needs of the men engaged in the study—New Testament Apologetics, with a view to understanding exactly what opposition Jesus faced, has been studied. That magnificent work of Dr. Clarke's "An Outline of Christian Theology" has been put into simpler English, and each man has been furnished a typewritten copy. Again thu work of three weeks has been carefully translated into Hawaiian by Mr. Sam. T. Kalepa, and the translation mimeographed for the Monthly Theological School. Sermon Outlines have been a prominent part of the study. Suggestions have been given one week, and each man has worked out his own outline in English the weeK following. These, too, have all been typewritten, so each man could see just what the other men were accomplishing not only, but be able, also, to offer intelligent criticisms. Of course, this work takes time, but it pays, for every member of the class is inspired to do better and more thorough work as a minister of Christ. Often, besides the strictly theological work, the mem bers prepare essays upon some important Church problems that have been troubling either the minister or his congregation. On Halloween Night at the Parsonage ir, Wailuku a laree number sf eh" members of the Union Church and congregation gathered for a social evening under the auspices of the Women's Aid Society. It was a decidedly jolly evening, for, in the first place everyone who could be there was there, and in the second place everybody was determined to have the best time in the whole year. The various stunts so familiar to the fun of college days were practiced, and then toward the end of the entertainment popcorn and candy with merry songs closed an evening that was pronounced a decided success. During the larger part of the month of November workmen were improving the new parsonage and grounds. New fences and a handsome stone wall were built, while in the interior much work was done that added greatly to the comfort of the delightful rambling house that has been the home of so many of the Maui missionaries. One of the constant pleasures of the beautiful Parsonage is the sweet memory of so many who have labored in the Lord's work, and found here their home. Mrs. H. P. Baldwin, for whose father and mother the Parsonage is named, has done a very great deal during the last four years in restor- The Christmas and vicinity were as usual of great interest to everyone. At Walhee there was a large gathering of Hawaiian people, who celebrated the opening of the newly repaired old Church by holding an interesting Sunday School and Christmas Endeavor Rally. On different nights during the week before Christmas trees and exercises for and by the children were held in the Churchea and at the Settlement. The Chinese Tree was especially pretty, and the auditorium and Sunday School rooms were filled with child in the Sunday Every people. Turner, School was remembered by Miss who with help from some friends, was able to make this Christmas a notable one. The exercises by the children here and at tne Japanese Church were excellent. At the latter celebration, though held on Christmas night amid a down pour of rain, there it was an attendance of about 450 people,when many, astonishing see so really to w as last year only perhaps half that number were present, and last year's attendance was a record one. The Japanese Church has had a splendid year under the direction of Rev. G. Tanaka and his able workers. Miss Turner has accomplished wonderful results with the women. Her patient teaching of English to the Japanese of higher rank, who wish to learn, has brought them in intimate assopresciation with the Church, so that at the many ent time there are at least half as as women in uttendance at public worship hardly there are men. Only four years ago You can "Eat your cake and have it" in a very real sense. You can give away your property and have it,—really enjoy it, as long as you live.

The change shows a healthy growth that is due largely to Miss Turner's association with the Japanese in her mission work here. Miss Tanaka has been a great help, and has constantly called with Miss Turner among the women. On Christmas Sunday night your Agent baptized three young men and three young women into the Japanese Church. Christmas at the Wailuku Union Church was observed with a tree in the Church auditorium and exercises by the children. The service of Sunday was not as largely attended as usual, but the music under the direction of the music committee of the Church was fine, and the decoration simple and very effective. The Union Church has issued the first number of the Quarterly Calendar, which is to be a regular feature of the work of the coming year. The Sunday School has been increased by new additions. The lower story of the Church has been much improved by a new table given by the Women's Aid Society, if any friend of the work on Maui has two or three pretty pictures that would be suit able for a Sunday School room, we wouio. be very glad to receive them for the decoration of the walls, which are now unadorned. Those in the Islands familiar with th'> old Hawaiian Church in Wailuku, called the Kaahumanu, will rejoice to learn that it has rapidly built up under the efficient pastorship of Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa, who came from Hana to this his second charge. He is an energetic worker among his people, and the result is telling in good audiences, and faithful interest on the part ot all his members. He moves this present month into the parsonage connected with the Church. Some of his friends have been aiding him in securing a sum for the necessary improvements on the place. R. B. D. February, 1910 THE FRIEND. Our Young People HENRY P. Christian Endeavor to the Front. During the month of January, the Christian Endeavor movement has been brought very prominently to the front through the visit to Honolulu of "Father Endeavor" Clark, Secretary Shaw and other C. E. officials of national and international fame. These leaders of the World's Christian Endeavor Union were in Honolulu from Sunday morning, January 23rd to Monday afternoon January 24th as through passengers on the S. S. "Cleveland" that has been taking Clark's Tour around the world. The fact of their coming to Honolulu had been welladvertised among the C. E. societies of the islands. Several of the societies had sent delegates to meet these leaders. As many as twenty were noticed in the sessions at Kawaiahao. and it is likely that several others were present. These men and women were sent to represent their societies, showing the interest that is taken in the C. E. movement on all the islands. This fact was spoken of by Dr. Clark, Secretary Shaw and others. Some of the local Endeavorers, wishing to to extend a warm welcome to the party on the 'Cleveland" had gone out in a launch, but were disappointed in not being able to go on board.

Later in the afternoon Mrs. F. E. Clark addressed the Junior C. E. rally at Central Union Church, presided over by Miss Yarrow, President of the Junior C. E. societies of Hawaii nei. There was a large audience present at this service as there was at the morning and evening services. The most important of all the gatherings of the day was the one at Kawaiahao church in the evening, at which time the repreentatives of the Territorial G E. Union and the Oahu Young People's Union met for a roll-call and to listen to the words of greeting from Dr. Clark, Mr. Shaw and others. It was a most cosmopolitan gathering that assembled in the old historic church that evening to give the World's C. E. Union officials the greetings of the Hawaiian C. E. societies. Such a meeting as this is sure to result in increased interest in the C. E. movement throughout the islands as the delegates return to their homes and report back to the societies what they have seen and heard. It has been a great time for the local Endeavorers and it is to be hoped that this recent inspiration will result in a forward movement all along the line and that the motto of this organization will be carried out more faithfully than ever before, "For Christ and the Church." J» Teacher Training. Last year it was the aim of the Superintendent to introduce some necessary reforms in many of the schools. Some of these reforms pertained to the management of the schools and the conduct of the district superintendents. This year it is the purpose of the Superintendent to work on the vital problem of the training of teachers. Though there are many problems in our Hawaiian Sunday Schools none is as pressing as the problem of the efficient teacher. You may hold your school in a splendid building and have it full of boys and girls and elder people and yet it may be a failure as a school, because the teachers know neither how to teach nor what to teach. The problem is a very real one in our country schools where so much of �February, iqio THE FRIEND. 17 of the work, and we hope later on to say more about the way in which Mr. Dole Rev. Charles F.

A school for the teachers should be held at regular intervals where the lessons for the following month or months can be discussed by pastor and superintendent and other matters pertaining to the welfare of the school may be taken up.

At the Kapoho station I" was met by Mr. Riifus Lyman and later met Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lyman, at whose residence I made my headquarters for a few days. We held a meeting that afternoon in the interests of the Sunday School and were assisted by Rev. L. K. Kalawe, pastor of the Puula Church, Rev. J. N. Kamoku, pastor of the churches in Kau, and Mr. Rufus Lyman. On Wednesday morning I visited the public school of Kapoho, and at Mrs. Lyman's invitation gave a short talk to the young people. Riding down to Opihikao along the interesting road that runs between lava flows, groves of coeoanuts and skirts the grand old ocean, I reached the school in time to say a few words to the children before it was time to keep my appointment at the Opihikao church. The latter was well filled with an attentive audience, and we had a fine meeting. Rev. J. H. K. Kaiwi, the pastor, presided, and after the meeting we were invited to the home of Mr. John Kahao for the noonday meal of fish and poi, followed by some delicious draughts of "niu haohao." It is a lonely ride to Kalapana. but most interesting to one who is a stranger in that part of the country. We held a meeting in the church that evening and though it was not well attended because the men were very weary from all-day working on the road between Kalapana and Kamaile, nevertheless there was an attentive spirit manifested. I was the guest over night of Mr. John Kama, who was recently licensed by the Association at Lanpahoehoe. The next morning we visited the school and were asked to speak to the children—an opportunity that was not neglected. We were somewhat impressed with the fact at this school and other schools in Puna that the large majority of the children were Hawaiians, and that the Orientals were not to be seen in as large num- Eo d FRIEND. bers as in the Hamakua district, for example. We were much surprised with the beauty and extent of the forest between Kalapana and Pahoa. February, 1910 KEEP ON THE GRASS. It is not necessary in Honolulu to put up the sign "Keep off the Grass."

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

Was it not courting disaster to put that ramshackle car at work on the most dangerous run in the city, Manoa valley, where it promptly jumped the track on a level stretch? For about an hour after the accident no ears were run on the branch tho there was nothing to prevent a relief car being on hand within fifteen minutes. And by the- way there is bound to be a grand smash up on the bad hill down Punahou street unless better time regulations are observed. We have rolled down that track at a rate wholly unjustifiable just to help patch up the broken schedule. Now that the new Alakea wharf makes that street the door to Honolulu what is to prevent taking off the dirty uiivarnish- �March. I'MO. 5 THE FRIEND, Ed vehicle which has so long disgraced that run? It has hardly been courteous to L'ncle Sam to keep it going in front of his quarters so long. More might be said but this suffices for the present These suggestieins are gleaned from the experience of many who would welcome a five minute schedule for the hours of overcrowding and the ending of the antiquated twenty-minute runs altogether. Maui Happenings. In Honolulu. The visit of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Ilurdette of Los Angeles has been greatly appreciated in the capital because of their generosity in sharing themselves with the community at large. Dr. Burdette has spoken in his inimitable way not only in several of our church pulpits and before- two of our men's leagues, but also at the Commercial Club. It is to be hoped that he may be induced to deliver His one of his famous lectures here. messages are so full of wit, sense and spiritual power that they carry far with all sorts and conditions of people. Mrs. Burdette also has appeared before a number of our women's eirganizations, and has captivated them with her own messages. Honolulu people have cometo find the reason for the phenomenal success of Los Angeles' Temple Baptis* Church in the rare combination of these two gifted Christian leaders. The Floral Parade of 1910 will be remembered as the most interesting of all the- scries thus far because of the great. variety of its display. It could not rival i"s predecssors in the bewildering beauty of decorated private cars, which were somewhat fewer than usual, but it certainly kept spectators more on the gui vive, and suggested certain lines of development that may well be worked out year by year. The tendency to fill out the day and evening with other events was also a happy innovation. Doubtless in time a water carnival feature in the afternoon may be added. Mr. Ford's suggestion of enlarging the historical significance of the celebration derives point from the very interesting floats that added so much to this year's parade. Japan's annual flower show in Dangozaka is a helpful commentary upon the timeliness of Mr. Ford's suggestion. Mr. Harold Dillingham and his associates deserve the gratitude of the city for the impressive demonstration which they gave of the possibility of using the floral parade as a means of education without sacrificing in the least its loveliness or its appeal to humor. A new and larger sphere ol influence has opened before this now assured feature of Honolulu life. of the Territory has widened his influence. On Maui he has been a tower of strength to the ministers of all nationalities, while his peculiar gifts both in athletic and homiletic lines, have specially endeared him to the Paia constituency. We are glad to learn meanwhile that his church has persuaded him to reconsider his resignation, and that there is every prospect of his continuing his pastorate. This is one of the best pieces of news of the past fortnight.— It is with great regret that we learn of the resignation of Rev. Theo. A. Wahrip of Kahului. Mr. Waltrip has been in the islands only two years, but in that time he has achieved distinct results and has made a place for himself in the life of our churches. Kahului is a difficult field because of its shifting population. But its Union Church has (lone well, and as the seaport grows will come to wield a large influence. The more we see of island life, the more the importance of enterprises like Kahului Union Church is impressed upon us. The larger life of such communities is found in learning how to pull together, and a church which buries out of sight denominational lines and unites all in Christian worship and service is a rainbow of good promise for everyone therein. In gathering such a church together Mr. Waltrip has done fine work. We learn that there is some prospect of retaining him for a needy post elsewhere in the islands, and trust that the re-|>ort is true.—The Friend congratulates Rev. and Mrs. R. B. Dodge upon the advent of their little son. D. S. Just as February dawned word came that Rev. Edward Bates Turner of Paia had resigned his charge. The news brought keen regret not only to his parish, but also to his friends throughout the Islands, for Mr. Turner is well known and loved not only in the three parishes of Kohala, Honolulu and Paia, where he has labored so successfully, but elsewhere as well. His identification of himself with the entire Christian enterprise THAT FIVE THOUSAND PERMANENT FUND. As several references have been made in The Friend to the $5,000 Fund I am attempting to raise for the Church and Ministerial Aid Department of the Hawaii Association, it seems fitting that [ should report progress. It is proving a more difficult task than I had anticipated, though I did not expect an easy one. While we all rejoice over the munificent gifts for various benevolences during the past year or more, this modest appeal has not met with a very general response. The churches East are straining every nerve apparently to meet the requirements of the "apportionment plan," and it has been more and more impressed upon me that we must depend principally upon our own people of the islands to meet this need. No contribution to the fund thus far has been more touching than that sent from South Dennis, collected by the present pastor of the "old home church" of Dr. Baker and myself. This once large and prosperous country church has dwindled because of death and removal until there are but two men in its membership beside the pastor. Yet Mr. and Mrs. Labarie, though strangers to us, in sending the hundred dollars, say its collection has been "a labor of love." and we are told by others that he often prays publicly for the work here, and for us by name. Some of the amounts named have been in two or three payments. I give them in the order received: Mrs. B. M. Allen $35o.oo Henry Champion, New 100.00 I lave-n. Conn IOO.OO Mrs. Caroline J.

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

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

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

THE COLUMBIA PARK BOYS. On February 17th, the Columbia Park Boys came over to be the guests of the Boys' Clubs of Honolulu, returning by the Alameda on the 23rd. They were a remarkably genteel lot of boys, conducting themselves with such gentlemanly behavior during the whole of their stay with us. that Mr. Peixoto may be justly proud of them. There were 40 Ixivs in the company atended by Mr. Piexoto and two asistants. They furnished excellent entertainment at the ()pera House, and in baseball they were ijreat, winning three of the four games played, and losing like sportsmen when they lost.

They were very appreciative of the attention received here and we hope they liked our city well enough to come back and pay us another visit.

THE FRIEND 8 The Scribe's Corner REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON Corresponding Secretary. "Che cMtf wast is lite I* tosubody who shall wake us do the best we cas." — Emerson. Prohibition Prohibits: It is one of the catch phrases of the Street ,: iat "prohibition does not prohibit." Like many another catch-phrase, tin- one has come to be regarded as a truism. The man who questions this dictum queers himself as once with his neighbors. And yet there is no inherent infallibility in such a phrase. The man who questions its accuracy may be right after all ,and the phrase- may be wrong. There are some facts that it is well for all men to weigh: and surely facts ought to count with us all as more authoritative than any mere catch-phrase. In the first place, it is a manifest fact that liquor dealers everywhere seem to btii've that prohibition prohibits. They always fight it with all the- resources at their command. They know that where prohibition comes it shuts up the saloons, and closes out the breweries and distilleries. They know that its mere approach puts brewery and distillery stock on the toboggan. The man who doubts whether prohibition prohibits, and undertakes to continue selling liquor surreptitiously, as hundreds of deluded men have done in local option communities on the mainland, discovers new light on this subject under the compelling influence of tines and imprisonment. Again, the exercise of local option has placed thousands of communities under the operation of prohibition, and this l>olicy has been continued steadfastly b> such communities as the result of an annually recuring vote. The steady course of the majority in such communities shows that that majority is satisfied that prohibition prohibits. It is a glib thing to say that such citizens know well enough that prohibition does not prohibit, and that in voting as they do they publish themselves to the world as social hypocrites. How much easier, however, it is to believe that such citizens know what they are doing, and have good reason to be satisfied with their course as not only honest but also wise. For the communities in which local option has secured prohibition, and there are many such in all sections of the mainland, have not only shut out the saloon effectively, but they have notably augmented the savings of the people as shown in savings bank statistics; have accelerated the purchase of land and the erection of bouses by the people; have enormously reduced expenditures for the maintenance of police and jails; and have enhanced the peace and prosperity of the community in ways not easily tabulated but none "he less manifest on every hand. Again prohibition is a principle imbedded in all repressive legislation, and is therefore no new or experimental affair, but rather is the chief reliance in repressing crime. The law against murder, and bigamy, and arson is a prohibitive law, and civilized communities are satisfied that such law prohibits. In the sense that a prohibition law against the sale of of liquor docs not altogether succeed in suppressing illicit traffic in liquor, so also docs the prohibition against murder, bigamy, and arson fail to suppress altogether these crimes against society. But this has never seemed a sufficient reason for enacting less stringent laws, and it ought not to be so with reference to laws prohibiting the sale of liquor. Again, a law that receives the approbation at the polls of a clear majority of the citizens is likely to be enacted in good faith, and having public sentiment back of it is likely to be enforced as well as other prohibitive enactments. If there is reason to doubt "he effective enforcement of such law, popular pressure can secure Special provision for securing such enforcement. Thus the Legislature can empower the Governor to direct the enforcement of the law through a special constabulary force who will be free to devote their whole time to this work, and who will be removed from the deterrent influences of local political and other considerations. When men point to the- large number of "blind pigs" in prohibition communities as evidence that prohibition does not prohibit, they forget that such "blind pigs' always exist in license communities as well. They do here in Hawaii under our present license law, and inasmuch as such "blind pigs" presumptively secure their liquor from licensed sellers, the probability is that right here in Hawaii now license promotes the multiplication of such places.

Anonymous Correspondence. When a man has anything to say in print, he ought to say it over his own name. That is the honest and honorable and manly method. It would be a good thing if our newspaper editors would go To one step further than they have. protect themselves from possible lawsuits they now refuse to print anonymous contributions when not accompanied by confidential information as to the writer's name. It would only be a step further for them to take the stand that they will print corespondence from only such citizens as sign their names or initials. This would be in the interest of more courteous discussion of public questions. The present method gives opportunity for mean innuendo that is cowardly and would not be used in an article over a man's own name. Jf Honolulu is really getting out of its swaddling hands, and looking forward to better things, one way to promote a better Honolulu would be to relegate all anonymous correspondence to the days of small things, and have only those people speak to the public through the columns of the press, who have something to say. and are willing to say it over their own names.

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

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

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

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

If she were not such a valuable hen I would put an end to her at once, but no, there was more money in her eggs than even in my favorite Northern Spy, so off went the branches of my tree. * And what do you suppose? A few days more and there she was in my garden again, and others with her! Now my interest was aroused. I put her back and watched. I observed her nosing along the bottom of the fence; there she had scratched out a hole by which not only she, but any other chicken could escape. "Blind pig," thought L, "but I'll stop that all right." So I examined the foundations of my fence all around, and made it tight. But the chickens had now learned the trick, and, led on by old Grayspeck, made my life miserable, and my garden a laughing stock to all who passed by. Then was my wrath kindled, but now in righteousness. I seized him by the legs and said, "See here, old chap, I am sorry I was mean to you once and ducked you in the pond, but now I mean business; I've tried you out on every line. I tried letting you go scot free, I've tried low license, high license, and clipping your mischievous wings, and you've not played fair, now I'm going to try prohibition. I'm sorry for you, and I'll miss your eggs, but your days are numbered," and the hen seeming to fear that her day of reckoning had come, squawked and screeched so loud that all I could make out of her protest was "You'll see that prohibition doesn't prohibit!" and I said, "Maybe it won't, but anyhow it will be a step in the right direction to get you out of the way," and with a firm step I led him to the prohibition block and with one blow I accomplished more than I had in all my previous experiments. I found all the rest of my chickens easily controlled, and from that day my garden began to pick up, and no one was able to surpass me in the quality of my garden produce or in the beauty of my home flowers.

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

Editor Friend: I promised "hat I would write you while making this tour around the world, and it seems to me that this is the most suitable place from which to do SO. We arrived here several days before Christmas, which we employed in visiting the many sacred spots about Jerusalem and making a "rip to Jericho and the Jor- dan. Christmas eve We took a carriage for Bethlehem, which as you know, lies six miles over the hills from Jerusalem. The moon was nearly at its full and it was as bright as our Honolulu moonlight. In Bethlehem, built over the grotto where Christ is reported to have been born, is the large Church of the Nativity, in which Roman Catholics and Greek Catholics have separate chapels, and are kept from fighting by armed 'Turkish soldiers. I he Christmas of the Greek Church comes fourteen days later than ours, but they make a point of having an 15 FRIEND vice. We went to the church early to as to secure seats and sat an hour or more watching the crowd assemble before the service began. At 11 p. m. the candles were lighted in the large Roman Catholic chapel. A number of priests ap|>eared and after bowing to the altar seated themselves inside the altar rail. Soon to our astonishment vestments were produced, and they began to dress themselves in full sight of the congregation! They had all shaven polls and beards, and looked quite different from our American priests. The Bishop or Patriarch of Jerusalem conducted the services, which were evidently specially prepared for Christmas. As it was all in Latin it was largely unintcligible to me. 'There were many changes made in the attire, and especially in the head dres the Bishop, during the main service, which lasted until nearly three o'clock in the morning.

The music was sweet but monotonous. At three o'clock the Bishop and priests passed m procession from the altar to the Grotto of the Nativity, the priests bearing long, lighted candles, and the Bishop carrying the Bambino, a wooden image of a baby. Two rows of 'Turkish soldiers formed on each side of the procession to keep the crowd back and protect it from interruption. The chapel of the Greek Church was near by and they carried on their opposition service in stentorian tones, but attempted no other interference. 'The procession proceeded down under ground into the grotto, and deposited the Bambino in its golden cradle to remain until New Year's day. when it will be brought out again with ceremonies to be used another year. This closed the main service, but a priest remained in the grotto celebrating the mass, and hundreds of devotees crowded into it to partake of communion on Christmas day. and while the Bambino was there.

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

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

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

The thought of a new club in Honolulu is enough to make the busy citizen shudder. Hut when the enigma of this latest candidate for dues, offices and extra engagements is explained to mean a chance to get rid of the nightmare of too much to do, when it calls up the vision of easy, enticing, well-kept paths leading close from home into the heart of our woodsy mountains direct to some dry cabin where one may find food and stay all night, l.ay when the dream expands into a network of clearly-marked trails from Koko Head to Waialee, skipping over to the Waianae range, opening every lovely \ alley, soaring up to every enchanting viewpoint, punctuated with convenient rest houses making possible fresh tramps for weeks without a moment's thought of the stuffy city, one wakes up shouting "Count me in."That this is no trance experience the character of the men who are handling this newest and sanest of 1 lonolulu's clubs attests. They are men who have tasted the intoxi cation of (lahu's mountain air, and know what sort of ozone it holds for the jaded, nerve-worn slave of work. They arc determined that the treasures of the matchless valleys and palis of this entire group of islands shall DC made available to the owner of two stout legs phis a modicum of small ihange ownable by any workingman. The Travel Club should be the most popular organization in the Territory. The Peace Propaganda. The Gibraltar of the Pacific should be made the Mecca of the world's peace lovers. No place offers such rare advantages. This tornado-less group of islands is Mother Earth's consummate contribution to the cause of Human Good Will. Here war has not raged for more than a century.

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

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

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

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

To begin with, we had Dr. Burdette preach for us on Sunday, Feb. 27. The announcement that he would occupy the pulpit brought out one of the largest audiences of the year. Every available seat was taken. His sermon on"The Overhanging bough," based on Gen. 49:22, was one of charming simplicity and directness. What we do for others, the overflow, the outreach of our lives in helpfulness to those about us, is what counts. 13 THE FRIEND April, 1910 the society and was a credit to the social committee who planned and carried out the evening's program J» An International Secretary.

In the morning his subject was "Looking Forward," and he showed why he believed that the world is growing better—that we are coming into the best times, especially from the spiritual point of view, the world has yet seen. His evening address was a strong evangelistic appeal to men to enlist in the service of Christ. It is our misfortune to be so far removed from the homeland, that we seldom have a visit from men like Mr. Moore who are bringing great things to pass for the oncoming Kingdom of Christ. Ji A Record Attendance. This report would not be complete without refernce to the steady growth of our Sunday School and to the record attendance on Sunday March 20 when 448 were present. This is encouraging. The new course of study introduced with the New Year is with a few exceptions, proving very popular with both scholars and teachers. What is needed now is the organization of a visiting committee to bring in other boys and girls that are not yet availing themselves of these splendid courses which are now being offered. This committee, we are glad to know, the superintendent is at present organizing. PREPARE FOR PEACE DAY. In Schools.

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

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

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

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

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

The total, as finally tabulated, was $30,571.25. The gift of $25,000 for permanent investment, the income to be used in exteneling the Board's work, was made through one of our families by one of its members. The causes to be aieled the present year will be indicated on our calendar so that we all may follow the contribution with our prayers. Of the $5571.25 for current expenditure $1300 represents the gift of one group of families in aid of the Hoard's Mission in Shansi. China, and is equivalent to a little more than 5 per cent interterest on a principal of $25,000- $1200 is our church's regular contribution to the support of Nauru Missions. $1125 represents additional gifts to Nauru Mission for better equipment, for supplies and for the liquidation of the debt upon the church and missionary residence.

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

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

At the April communion sixteen morenew members were received into the church, seven on confession of faith, twti on reaffirmation, and seven by letter from either churches. A special effort will be made between now and the June communion to bring a number of the yemng people of the Bible school and church to decide to avow their faith in Christ, and come and unite with the church. The time is opportune, a large number of our young people are eligible, and if there can be united prayer and earnest personal effort we believe many of them will come. May God grant it. ja A Welcome Innovation. At the last meeting of the Women's Society the question of removal of hats at the Sunday services was taken up, and after some discussion three-fourths of those present expressed their determination to practice this reform. There has been an encouraging response both Sundays since the announcement was made. It may take a l'tile while- to get a general observance among the ladies, but it will certainly adtl very much to the comfort of those who attend church, so nianv of whom must each Sunday, at present be hidden from speaker and singers behind the view-obstructing hats in front of them. Hawaii Cousins The annual meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, held on April 16th, at the Old Mission Home, was one of unusual interest. The business part of it, referring chiefly to the gift of the Chamberlain property and the Forbes house adjoining, with plans for fitting them up for future use, was found so interesting that the larger part of the literary program was left for the adjourned meeting, to be held at Arcadia, the beautiful home- of Governor and MrsFrear. There was read, however, a long, in- teresting, and valuable paper concerning the old Chamberlain House, written by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, himself an octogenarian. It was full of history and incidents connected with the olden time, and will be published in the H. M. C. annual report. A quartette of singers from Kaiulani Home kindly furnished the music, "The Beautiful Land of Somewhere," "and "A Wonderful Message They Bring," which were sung sweetly and in excellent harmony. The decorations, also, were in harmony with everything. That star-like flower, called by the- Hawaiians, "The Star of Bethlehem." was used, and was made, by Mrs. Weaver's exquisite taste and deft fingers, to droop over pictures and doors and trail into odd corners, just as the wonderful message of the real Star of Bethlehem brings out the beauty of every soul, and decorates and brightens the corners of the earth. The meeting was very informal—a sort of home-coming, one musician remarking that here was where she took her first music lesson, pointing out the spot where the piano stood, and recalling the thoughts and emotions of the time, and her teacher's words; and after singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," one lady said "That was the last hymn I heard my father sing." And she recalled his appearance, standing on a bale of cotton in the boat, singing "Waft, waft, ye winds his story." �THE 10 FRIEND what I would gladly pay it for allowing This statement is probably true of every great professor at our Professor George Herbert Palmer, of universities.

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

Cigarettes in Peking. The visitor to Peking, as he travels along the great street from the East gate to the West of the Chinese city, will notice high up over the houses a great sign board. It is American advertising! On this board he will -see a large picture from 8 to 10 feet high, of a fierce looking foreigner, who stands by a canon and holds a drawn sword in his hand. Over his head is the wortl "Pirate." By the side e)f the picture in clear Chinese characters are the words "Ying" "Mci" "English" "American." It is in the sign of the great Tobacco Trust which hopes soon to be the largest business in China, and seeks to sell cigarettes to the milllions all over the Empire. Are the people of Christian England and America glad to appear before the Chinese as the "Pirates" of their money and their health ? By the siele of this Foreign Pirate is another equally large picture of a Rooster crowing over cigarettes, as if to say; "The American and English " Pirates " have been successful! With sword and canon they have come to your land, they are taking millions of money, and leave you the opium and cigarette to ruin your homes and destroy the health of your children. You are bounel by a habit most difficult to break and must continue to pay us your hartl earned dollars. The "Pirate" is victorious! Ha! Ha! Ha! Is not this the meaning of the pictures ? And not only on this street but all over the city and the empire are these and other pictures telling of the great exploitation of China by the sale of cigarettes. A great picture of the English-American "Pirate," 10ft. high also greets one on the city wall as the train comes to a stop at the railroad station in Peking. The same picture is seen by thousands all over the land on city gates, on temples and schools and even on the walls of the Imperial city. All Learning to Smoke. I am told by a man in this business that over two million dollars are spent annually in China for advertising and placing the cigarettes on the market. It is said tnat the two great centres of Shanghai and Hankow turn out some twenty milion cigarettes per day.

I had the pleasure of being in Shanghai when the great and beautiful building there for Chinamen was dedicated. Indeed, I took part in the ceremony, and sat on the dais with a number of prominent Chinese officials, who were not Christians, but who were there to testify of the wemderful work that the Association had done. I don't know where all the money comes from that erects these great, handsome buildings for the Young Men's Christian Association. Every town that I visit, it seems to me, is inspired by an ambition to put up a building for the Young Men's Christian Associatiem that is just a little more elaborate, just a littlemore accompanying, just a little moreextensive, and testifies to just a littlemore interest in the Association than the building in the town in the next county. That shows a most healthful spirit of competition. It shows the vigor of the Association. I do not know of any place where money can be invested with greater certainty of its expenditure for that for which money ought to be given than in the Young Men's Christian Association. It is because you do your work on business principles, -and because you have men in charge of your work who are trained to it and who understand what the eibject of the Association is and the best method of reaching it. The truth is, I have had so much experience with the matter that 1 would not undertake any great government enterprise without consulting the head of the International Young Men's Christian Association to see- what the- supply of secretaries is.

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

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

"The Time Is Not Ripe." Under this title Paul Kennaday, writing in the "Survey," calls attention to a fallacy which has proved most fatal and destructive to many a movement for social improvement It is in connection with Senator ( hvcn's bill to apply some of our conservation enthusiasm to the immediate and crying opportunity, namely the safeguarding of public health, that Mr. Kennaday speaks. The measure in question proposes the creation of a department of health, its head to sit as a member of the President's cabinet. And while conservatism advises that we are ready for no such step of prevention, Death realizes that the time is ripe for execution, and applies his mission. Let him who hesitates remember that the time is always ripe for doing the thing that can be done. If a reform cannot be consummated, perhaps a movement may be begun.

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

This is indeed true, and the tendency to such an onward and progressive growth Is so strong and persistent that where the denomination to which a particular church belongs attempts to restrict this advance, the particular church separates itself from the denomination. If the church remains unprogressive, unwillng to prove all things for the sake of the truth, the individual either Joins a more liberal church or he maintains an attitude of silent protest which Is not at all conducive to his helpfulness as a worker. How much better for the whole denomination to accept the Inevitable, especially as that Is a Btate of more simple and Christlike belief, for the church to come up to the advnnce thought of the best and most reasonable and conscientious scholars. For instance, a Unitarian church in Massachusetts has lately been received Into the general Congregational body as a Unitarian church, to give up not one of Its distinctive principles. This was done because it Beemed best for purposes of helpfulness and work, both being engaged in Christian endeavor. So, too, because the Baptist denomination was not as far-sighted and earnest about the real work of Christianity—Christ's mission on carth —Dr. I'inkham of Denver, with his large and Influential church of that city, has Just been received into the Unitarian denomination. The Kplscopal church has always allowed a wide margin for differences of belief In Its adherents, and we find In it many liberals like Andrew 1). White and others who no more accept the creeds of that church than Dr. Hale did. They love the Bervice and the associations and are called Kpiscopalians. Dr. Hrundage left the same church because he was more sensitive. "I must find a church that would receive me upon my own termß, that would require of me no creed subscription whatsoever, that would leave me perfectly free to preach what I believed to be the truth."

It is more than "the rift within the lute," but a decided tendency to cleavage, Increased by the more positive attitude and sermons, of Phillips Brooks, who never, would have his picture taken In his official vestments. He used to say that his legs were .. .. not adapted to apostolic hosiery. Before quoting the "Evangelist's" answer to his solicitous correspondent I want to quote a very few things from one or two of Phillips Brooks' sermons. He was one of the greatest men the Episcopal church has had In modern times the very greatest In America. He stood In the breach, as It were, preaching the great love of the Father for all his children, avoiding controversy when he could, patching up denominational differences, applying truth. His attitude towards those of different belief was that of a seeker after truth, not that "Let us reverence our of a dogmatist. neighbors' way of finding truth," he said, and to his genial sympathy came young ministers of all denominations, Including Unitarians, to bask and derive spiritual warmth. His ministerial friendships were chiefly among liberals; he said of Dr. Freeman Clarke, "He belonged to the whole Church ot Christ. Through him the Master spoke He had his to all who had ears to hear." i 'banning and his Emerson at hand, and how much of both do we find In.

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

JUDD The Oahu Association. The Oahu Sunday School Association held its semi-annual meeting in the Kauinakapili Church, Honolulu, from April ()th-Bth. The attendance was larger than than usual and the interest in all the proceedings was sustained throughout the meetings. No raelical changes were made in the system of working and the usual routine of reports and business occupied most of the time. The Home Department committee, consisting of Revs. Erdman, Nakuina and Judd, presented their report, in which it was recommended that Mr. Erdman take up the matter of starting this new form of work in the Sunday schools of Oahu. The advantages of the Home Department work were brought out in the report, which was accepted by the Association. The list of visiting superintendents nominated for the ensuing year is practically the same as the past year, there being but one one change, while the other officers were re-elected. The World's Convention. The attention of all friends of Sunday school work is called to the coming great convention to be held in Washington, D. C, from May 19-24. It is the World's Sixth Sunday School Convention and promises to be the largest as well as the finest convention ever held in the interests of the Sunday schools of the world. It would be a splendid thing if several delegates could be present from these islands to receive inspiration from the mighty gathering. At the present time the superintendent has not heard of anyone who intends to be present from Hawaii- He would be glad to communicate with anyone desiring to learn more about this great gathering. J» World's Sunday School Day. The chairman of the eexcutive committee of the Worlds' Sunday School Association, Mr. Geo. W. Bailey, has requested me to spread abroad the notice that Sunday, May 22nd, is World's Sunday School Day. It is requested that all pastors in these islands on that daypreach a sermon emphasizing the claims of the Sunday school as a factor in the development of Christian character, urging upon parents and guardians the importance of training children and youth in the knowledge of the Scriptures and including in his prayers a petition for the blessing of Almighty Gixl upon the work of the Sunday school in all lands, and especially upon the World's Sunday School convention which at that time will be in session in Washington, D. C. Let us not forget to make fitting recognition of the day. The Home Department. In view of the fact that the Oahu Association has taken steps to introduce th« Home Department into the schools of Oahu, it is worth while for us to notice some of the features of the work. The department is a department of the Sunelay school in which those are enrolled who feel themselves unable to attend the sessions regularly, and yet are willing to study the lessons and belong to the school. The members are expected to study the Sunday school lesson each week for at least half an hour, to visit the school sessions when convenient, to make an offering to the school if it is possible, to keep a weekly record of lessons, visits to Sunday school and offering. The visitor pays a visit to the home of each member at least once a quarter, receiving his tpiarterly report of lesson study, and his contribution and leaving with him the lesson help and envelope for the next (juarter. a Good Teacher. The majority of Sunday school teachers are "just folks," good, wholesome genuine Christians. They are neither college graduates nor ignoramuses. For the most part they are busy people, working every day. Many are young people, and are not yet matured in the business of life, nor the philosophy of Christianity. They have had an experience- They are willing to be witnesses. The very sincerity of their service often leads them to depreciate their own capacity and to relinquish the task they have begun. I believe more people are reached through their hearts than through their heads. Heart answers to heart in teaching. Yet there is doubtless a later period, in which our youth should get a constructive viewpoint. I am sure the best-trained teacher is none too good for this important business. 1 want to see both Peter and Paul in the teaching force. One is a fisherman, I know, impulsive and faulty, but he makes good, and I want a Paul there. I lis logic on fire, a scholar and a soldier, a hero and a thinker. How to Become 17 The Sunday school teacher must know what he is to teach, yet he must in addition i>ossess another more essential qualification—consecration to Christ. Turn to the New Testament and there learn how to teach from the Master Teacher. Jesus was a model teacher. The educational world has submitted his method to the severest test. The Bible should be the teacher's textbook, and the whole Bible should be diligently studied. The teacher who never studies more than the lesson portion can never teach well. The Bible must be studied in a larger way; the meaning and relation of its books must be known. There is no easy road to Bible knowledge. Continual, prayerful, searching of the Word is the only method that will bring results- No teacher can teach what he does not know : no teacher can urge truth which he himself will not accept; no teacher can know the Word who will not obey it. The pupil must be studied in all his relations to work and play, church and home and school, alone and in company with other pupils. We must study sympathetically, not simply with curiosity; win your way into the inner life of your pupil by means of love, patience, tact and prayer. BOOK REVIEWS The Suitable Child. Norman Duncan knows how to go to the heart of things in his stories, and this quality The Suitable Child illustrates most beautifully. The book is primarily for the holiday season of the year, but it is good reading any time. It will help to lay Old Musty Self on the shelf and lead one to take The Other Men into his life.

It is a wise procedure for a church like Central l'nion to secure the services of noted preachers from the mainland for occasional terms of exchange with the regular pastor, or during his vacations. Such ministrations are a tonic to the entire community, and react favorably in Rev. Frank Newhall White, D. D every way upon the church itself. Newviews of truth are presented, working laymen have a fine opportunity for exl>ert consultation with these chiefs of prominent and successful organizations, and the echoes of the effective service rendered spurs the regular minister to more varied and energetic work.

A corporate member of the American Hoard, having the honor of holding the position of alternate preacher for the coming centennial meeting, closely associated with Chicago Theological Seminary, and one of the inner circle of the leaders of his denomination in the Middle West, Dr. White is at the very acme of his powers. His church is about to erect a $1(X),000 parish house to serveas a clinical center for the seminary, and a home of wide ministry for the entire district about l'nion Park. It is hoped that the dee)) spiritual interest now stirring the hearts of the young people in Central L'nion Church will be intensified during the summer, and result in still larger accessions next fall. 5 Mr. Gardner has been called from London to Boston to manage the still greater exhibition planned for next spring, lie wishes to make Hawaii because of her dramatic Christian story, still more prominent. The Bishop Museum Trustees have been asked to loan material, and the Hawaiian Hoard is being opportuned to aid to the fullest degree. The Board has appointed a committee, with Mr. ( Heson as its chairman, which will do its best. A very wide cooperation of all able to assist in making th's a notable exhibit of Hawaii's story is requested. The Promotion Committee will unofficially lend its aid. More than a million of the leading Christian people of the Eastern States will view this exposition, and if we do our part the lure of these Islands will be felt by them all. The direct result for missionary support will be very large. D. S. .1* WAILUKU NOTES.

A meeting of the Cousins was held beautiful Arcadia, the home of Gov. and Mrs. Frear, on the evening of April 30th. The "Thaddeus" and the voyage of the pioneer missionaries in 1810 20, was the topic of the evening. Amid such artistic surroundings it was not easy to put one's self in sympathy with the brave young souls crowded in that little bark upon an at angry sea. To make it more realistic, some young people, dressed in the costumes of 1820, came slowly down the broad stairway, as the names of the voyagers were read from the Missionary Album, and joined with the company in singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains:" and Miss Reynolds, a grand-daughter of Father and Mother Bingham, played "A Storm at Sea" till you seemed to hear the dashing of the waves upon the deck, and almost felt the rocking the shivering of the little craft. A journal, written on board the "Thaddeus" came into the possession of the society about a year ago, and from this extracts were taken, all read by descendants of these pioneer missionaries. Mrs. Whine, a grand-daughter of Father and Mother Thurston, read of the partings at Poston. the sea-sickness, the calms, the long delays, the improvement of their time, rough weather, and of the celebration of Christmas Day. Miss Reynolds read of storms, of the first sight of land, of ships in the distance and whales near by, of the rounding of Cape Horn, and again terrific storms, and through it all a spirit of trust and love and consecration. "Arabeske," from Schumann, was at this point sympathetically rendered h/ Mrs. W. D. Westervelt. and seemed to quiet the elements and bring the wayfarers out upon the smooth Pacific, and we were ready for the third paper. Mrs. Ranney Scott, a great-granddaughter of Father and Mother Whitney, continued the journal where it told of more rapid progress on the Pacific, of searchings of heart, adventures with a shark, the falling overboard of Mr. Whitney, and the arrival at the islands, where beautiful scenery and good news of idolatry overthrown greeted them. A social half hour was enjoyed when the beautiful spirit of the Fathers and Mothers was (hscussed. when this valuable journal was talked of, and other journals, and it was voted to print these extracts in The Friend.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We showed him that a little more English and arithmetic would do him good, and he signed up for these courses.

This year he entered the bookkeeping class, and soon left his wagon for a posi- treated liquor cannot compromise with the government any longer. A bootlegger will not run the risk of going to prison for two years under the federal law, and if he takes out a government stamp the state or local authorities can immediately secure his name from the records in the revenue department and arrest him. In Kansas the possession of a government stamp is prima facie evidence of guilt. Govern- or Stubbs says that the new policy will reduce violation of liquor laws in "dry" states fully 50 per cent, if not more. And now. to complete the good work begun by Governor Stubbs. the CurtisMiller I till has been introduced in Congress. It is as follows: A PILL To Constitute Intoxicating Liquors as a Special Class of Commodities, and to Rcgul te the Interstate Shipments of Such Liquors. Section 1. P,e it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That all fermented, distilled or other intoxicating liquors shall constitute a special class of commodities, and. as a special class, shall be admitted to and carried in interstate commerce, subject to the limitations and restrictions hereinafter imposed upon interstate commerce in articles of such special class. Section 2. 'That the interstate commerce character of all fermented, distilled, or other intoxicating liquors admitted to interstate commerce in accordance with the provisions of this Act, and transported from one State.

Territory or district of the United States, shall terminate upon their arrival immediately within the boundary of the State, Territory or district in which the place of destination is situated and before the delivery of said liquors to the consignee: Provided, That shipments of such liquors entirely through a State. Territory or district of the United States shall not be subject to the provisions of this section while in transit through such State, Territory or district of the United States shall not be subject to the provisions of this section while in transit through such <btate. Territory or district of the United States. a* WHAT! WHERE! WHO! When the dram seller assumes that eager expression of countenance and says: "If prohibition carries, where is our revenue to come from," he is making a play on words. He does not mean the public revenue, but "OUR." that is, the revenue of the philanthropists engaged in the liquor business. Nevertheless, the question is pertinent, Where will they get it? "It is hard to say. But they can get it by going to work at some decent, honest labor. A good many women who have been deprived of the revenue that should have gone to them and to their children, for the sake of the dram seller, have made a living, such as it was, by taking in washing. When the dram ship goes out of business these women will not need to continue with their tubs.

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

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

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

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

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

Perhaps we will be humble enough to get our instruction even from San Francisco. All in good time, which is God's time. T. R. . Hawaii's Opportunity. S. Congress neve laid a quesof such interest before the people of any territory as has now been presented to the people <>f Hawaii in the question of prohibition. We will not say that it is the last call, for the ruler and guide of nations is forbearing, and merciful, long-suffering even to the unthankful and unmindful. And the promiscuous sale of destructive alcohol poison is sure ere long to be prohibited by every nation for its own It is simply incredself-preservation. ible that the world of the enlightened future will regard with indifference the present condition of all who are frequent partakers of alcoholic drinks. But, says one, it is not promiscuous sale that is contended for. What we want is a license system that will prevent promiscuous sale and regulate the sale of healthful drinks. The Friend claims that the license system has had full trial for a century or two, and has proved a failure in every land where national and international commerce has sway. License to sell the seductive and destructive poison of alcoholic drinks is simply a permit issued by a government to certain ones in a community for their own financial profit to sell what brings ruin, misery, demoralization, or death to a large proportion of their customers. That the slightest benefit ever comes to one from the use oi alcoholic drinks as a beverage has yet The IT.l tion T to be shown. In vain we ask the advocates of the license system what benefit ever came to any human being from the habitual We drinking of alcoholic beverages. seen all our lives the deplorable results of dram-drinking, and today it is evident that the early extinction of a large portion of the Hawaiian people will ensue unless prohibitory legislation be enacted. Yet they are not alone in feeling the seduction and meeting the destruction of strong drink. have �To them who abstain the scripture s.iith: "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the ants that tlieth by day ; nor for the pestilence that ualkcth in darkness; nor for the destruct on that wasteth at noonday." ( >n the 26th of July we may by our votes save many precious people from almost inevitable destruction. 5 THE FRIEND July, I'HO. O. 11. G. The Bishop of Kakaako. It is doubtful whether half a dozen persons in the Islands have first-hand, or even realizing hearsay knowledge of the great work of I'. W. Rider, the apostle to the submerged in the bottom of Honolulu, where the Atherton family has built a settlement house, and provided for its maintenance, in which nightly this knightly man of faith preaches Jesus Christ the Savior of drunkards, the hope of hopeless wives and the lover of homeless and worse than homeless children. Grim business it is, too, preaching love and help and cleansing in the sag of Kakaako, where the brewery, two licensed saloons and fifteen or twenty "blind pigs" belie the love of God and man, and seem to prove the omnipotence of cruelty and dirt. Impossible for faith that breaks training, even for a day. Hut this man does it. and does it with a cheer. Salvation with a whine in it would be dead doctrine there. He believes it. That saves him and his meet ings. 1 le knows the saloon. He knows how to get away from it. I le has no illusions about ''personal liberty." He gives all. He wins. His wife goes the pace "Help somebody, and sing at your work, for God loves the world." In this most needy and disorderly section no policeman ventures save on call, and such as come on call get out again as soon as possible. The police court is part of Mr. Rider's parish. His recommendations to mercy are rarely disregarded, for he is as truthful as helpful, and as level-headed as he is kind. His word is as good as a bond with the magistrate. He is constantly up as cash bail for the down and out. Nothing much ails Kakaako but the drink—the drink and what goes with it. Naturally Mr. Rider hates the saloon, and in the present campaign for the plebiscite he is the busiest campaigner in the city. The searchlight of his stereopticon flashes the wounds of the body politic before the eyes of many audiences. The light is fearfully eloquent. Mr. Rider is one of a class of rescue workers numbering thousands in American cities —the Red Cross Society in the licensed pillage of the saloon. F'very man of them and every woman of them, In the lK'tter days is a prohibitionist. now drawing near their worth will be recorded and in the final accounting their reward is sure. J. G. W. with him and does not look back. His audience shows no cleavages of race, or creed, or trade. Twenty or more nationalities are regularly represented—cosmopolites of disaster. Age sits with knotted hands and wonders at his message. Fray- ed, ruined youth slips low in chair and listens; and pretty children pitch the high treble of infinite pathos into the songs. It is terrible—and beautiful. They call him "Father." and Mrs. Rider "Mother," who in turn call them by their given names. "Who struck you, Susie?" "Father, let me come in ; Jim is drunk and says he will kill me." "Mother, can you give me something to feed the baby? Joe gets seven dollars a week and gievs me two, but has just taken that away." These are scraps of the spiritual conversation of this diocese. The meetings are but the high tide of the day's work, before the life of the district turns back to the Magoon block, the "low water" of home life in the city. The work of faith and labor of love never shut down. The Bishop of Kakaako rules by riirht of apostolic success. The only ritual is P.W.

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

J* Annual Service of Music. Another feature that helped to make June 5, a "Red Letter Day" at Central Union was the inspiring service ot music given in the evening. We have had excellent music all the year but the choir outdid itself that evening. Solo parts were sung by Sunday. Miss Eva Lindeman, Good News Indeed. Miss Jesse McCormick, Miss Estelle Roe, , Mrs. E. A. Mott-Smith. Mrs. C. S. Wright, Mr. George A. Brown, Mr. Harold Clark, Mr. Philip Hall, Mr. C. S. Livingston and Mr. Arthur Wall. The choir was fortunate to have not only for the evening, but for a month past, the assistance of Miss Lindeman of San Francisco. Her magnificent soprano voice added very much to the effectiveness of the anthems and especially the duet, trio and semi-chorus, in which she took a leading part. It was unquestionably the finest musical service given in Central Union for The best piece of news that any church can have is to be able to tell of large numbers of her young people turning to Christ and applying for admission to church membership. Just this it is our privilege and joy to report. On Sunday, June 5, forty were received into church membership and all but four of these came on Confession of Faith. F"or several months past there has been evidence of a deep spiritual interest among the older scholars of the school. Our young people were made the subject many a year. Great credit is due Mr. Stanley Livof special prayer. The blessed results followed. The fact that a number of ingston, under whose able direction the these young people leave this summer to choir has been brought to its present enter colleges makes their decision to ac- 'high standard. I �THE 8 Dr. Scudder's Farewell Message. No doubt, many of the readers of The Friend who did not see Dr. Scudder's "Good Bye" published in" the Calendar of June 5, would be interested to read it, and also to have his itinerary. We take the liberty, therefore, of republishing it in full: "Dear Comrades of Central Union Church: Our English parting salutation is the most beautiful and expressive of all farewell words, goodbye—(iod be with you.

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

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

Prohibition seems to be the only way to kill the snake. Whether it prohibits or not, it gives us a legal right to fight the saloon, which now has the legal right to defy us. Grant everything that has ever lieen said against prohibition and prohibition remains the one way of fighting saloons. The drinking men we have to work with would be saved from temptation were there no bar rixims, for they are not the sort that would seek blind pigs or import liquor.

At the last meeting of the Board of Directors a commission consisting of Messrs. W. A. Love, Ed. Towse. and F. D. Ixiwrey was appointed to study the report of Mr. John F.

'The accepted sketches are now in Mr. Ripley's hands in Oakland, and soon he will return to Honolulu with the final plans. We have preferred before building instead of after the plant is up. This is less expensive. But when the plans are shown the public will feel that our delays have been justified. We now feel certain that ground will be broken about the first of August. to do our thinking Jt Summer School. Summer classes in bookkeeping, short- hand, typewriting, and French are being conducted.

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

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

In the sum total of its oppressions of the innocent and defenceless there is no known deviltry equal to the liquor business.

In our state we think it bars prohibition. We are positively certain that were it not for our present high license law, Nebraska today would have prohibition. In our opinion high license does not lessen the consumption of liquor. If left to us, we would never repeal this law. There are a great many difficulties at first, for brewers and liquor dealers to get a high license law in working order, but after a year or two you will certainly find it to your advantage over prohibition. We at first made a bitter fight against its enforcement, but since it is well enforced we would not do without it." The Presbyterian General Assembly.

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

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

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

When great moral issues stare men in the face, cold, intellectual tones give way to the warmth and fire of the heart. It There was one allwas so at Kailua. absorbing theme that asserted itself at every turn. There were other matters that claimed and received attention. Being the ninetieth anniversary of the landing of the first Christian missionaries in Hawaii, the occasion was suffused with missionary interest. Special memorial exercises, and special memorial addresses and the discussion of live missionary themes, had no small share in the daily programs, and elicited the closest attention from first to last. Whatever the theme, however, and however slight its connection, the real passion of the conference was the theme of prohibition. Men prayed about it, and talked about it, and sang about it on every occasion. It was the burden of the day and the prayer by night. Such splendid enthusiasm only comes to the surface when the minds and hearts of men are stirred to their depths. Those who were present will not soon forget the addresses of Desha and Kamaiopili and Kamau and Nakuina. and the imploring appeals of the women as they spontaneously voiced the deeper undercurrents of their lives. One Discordant Note. There was only one voice raised in opjxisition to the tidal wave of enthusiasm that swept the conference. It was that of Senator Makekau of Hamakua. Keen in his argument, and persuasive in his appeal, there was the utmost contrast between the tone and matter of his address and of addresses made later by Desha and Nakuina. His tone was that of the cold, calculating politician, and his matter was questions of expediency and of utility. The replies to his points were apt and conclusive, and the tone was vibrant with that peculiar timbre that men unconsciously employ when dominated by a great moral passion. It was a battle of bright men, and the champions for prohibition won out completely. 17 THE FRIEND Honoring the Fathers. There has been to date no such fitting and significant recognition of the work of the early missionaries as the memorial services at Kailua on Sunday, June 26. In the first place, the services were held in one of the oldest church buildings in the Territory. Large and high and solid, it represents the aim of the missionary fathers in all their work. The interior, freshly renovated and attractive, connects the past foundations with the present activities. The audience in its complex composition, with the preponderant Hawaiian membership, was an evidence of the enduring influence of missionary teaching. Again, the personality of the speakers was noteworthy, one being the oldest active descendant of the missionaries of the first generation. Rev. O. H. Gulick, who spoke at length in both Hawaiian and English on the work of the fathers; the other being one of our most able and eloquent Hawaiian pastors, who spoke most fittingly on the first Hawaiian Christian, Henry Opukahaia, and his three Christian comrades, Hopu, Kanui, and Honolii. Again, the participation of the races in the program was indicative of the new day in Hawaii, for the scriptures were read in Hawaiian, in English, in Chinese, and in Japanese, by representatives of these races, while the prayer was by a grandson of one of the mission families, himself an earnest religious worker among us today. If men could only project themselves into the future to realize how sure and abundant is the fruitage of the patient worker in the kingdom of God, how transporting would be their grateful joy. But that is one of the realizations that is reserved for heaven. 'Those early missionaries now rejoice, though here they toiled in patient hope. old. O Clod, thy Spirit wrought," followed by prayer by Rev. G. L. Kopa. The chairman of the committee, Rev. W. B. ( Meson then delivered an address on"The Meaning of the Arch," after which Miss Ethel Paris, a lineal descendant of one of the Missionary pastors of Kona. Rev. J. D. Paris, and likewise of one of our honored Hawaiian families, unveiled the . bronze tablet The exercises closed with benediction by Rev. J. K. Kekahuna, perhaps the oldest living Hawaiian minister in active life. Mr. Elijah McKenzie was employed to supervise the erection of the arch and the noble memorial is witness to his unceasing personal attention in its construction. Set in from the wall that borders the main street of Kailua by a curved wall on either side, the arch is an mposing and fitting memorial alike to the first Christian missionaries to Hawaii, and to Opukahaia and his comrades Hopu. Kanui. and Honolii. May it long stand as a mute witness to the strange leadings of God, and to the marvelous glories of His grace. Ji Reminiscences. Sunday's memorial exercises closed with an evening of reminiscenses under the leadership of Rev. S. L. Desha. Rev. J. K. Kamoku, one of our oldest Hawaiian pastors, spoke of the work of Father Thurston. Rev. J. A. Akina sjxake of the labors of Father Whitney. Rev. W. B. Oleson read a letter from Mrs. S. E. Bishop concerning the Bishop and Thurston families, and Mr. F. W. Damon displayed a letter written by Opukahaia. probably the only autograph letter of Opukahaia in Hawaii. Mr. Damon spoke of Opukahaia as the magnet that drew attention to Hawaii as a field of need, and that irresistibly led not only to the inauguration of mission work here, but Ji to missionary undertakings elsewhere. interest was aroused by these Intense The Memorial Arch. personal and historical reminiscenses.

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

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

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

Prosperity demands sober producers, sober production and wise spending. environThese conditions require ment of a sober state. The increase in property and valuations in such a state, the increase in producers and in production, and the decrease in burdens and 11011 producers makes taxation light, and tends to increase and equalize prosperity. A man who labors in such environment reaps the results of his labor and does not carry the burden of additional drunken non-producing consumers.

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