Being the oldest paper the It shows a circumstance. noteworthy is long pastoral a of clergyman Restarick is of Christian persistence the and vitality experience and successful work in Calipurpose and effort. Tn the same month NO. IX an even more notable event will in all probability occur; and that is the final withdrawal of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions from participation in the support of Christian work in these Islands. As is well known the American Board began work here with the coming of the first missionaries in 1820. It withdrew from full responsibility in 1863, but it has ever since lent its support by an active interest and by grants-in-aid in money to the continuance of the work which it had inaugurated and carried to such a successful issue. The civilization of the Islands today, materially, intellectually and spiritually, is due more to the forces introduced by the American Board than to any other single cause. The annexation of the Islands to the United States rendered the old relation a somewhat anomalous one as they are now no longer foreign soil. ThU with the increasing ability of the Territory to maintain its own religious institutions has led the Board to desire to terminate the relations so long sustained. The editors and managers of The Frii-ni) feel that the occasion is an opportune one for giving recognition to a service to humanity, hence they are discussing the feasability of issuing a special, greatly enlarged edition for the it month of December, celebrating as were its own sixtieth anniversary by a review of the results of the American Hoard's aid and influence here. In this issue, we print the Temperance page, a list of questions prepared and sent out by the Agitation Committee of the Anti-Saloon League, in order to gather facts in regard to effects of the present large sale of intoxicating liquors in the various islands of the group. We give the answers practically in full in order that our readers may be able to draw their own conclusions. The fact that only about twenty-five per cent of the white men to whom the questions were sent returned answers, would tend to show that there exists a general apathy among the white people in regard to the subject, or that there are other reasons why they do not care to discuss it. The showing from the natives is better. Sixty-three per cent of those to whom the questions were sent replied. It is also a significant fact that to question? one, two and six, which deal Temperance Statistics on �4 with the heart of the subject, the whites and natives take almost diametrically opposite positions. There is every reason to believe that the natives represent the facts more correctly. For one thing they are in a position to have more accurate knowledge; also, the white men who are most intimate with the conditions of Hawaiian life, almost invariably agree with the natives in their answers. The unsought, spontaneous testimony such as can be found on page 15 of the report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and as given by <nir correspondent from the Konas in the Field Notes of this issue, all tend to confirm the truthfulness of this side of the case. < )ne question on which there is general agreement among all classes is that the subject of the manu facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors .should not he made an issue in the coming election. This is probably a correct judgment. It seems likely that the moral principles underlying the subject need discussion, and the facts pertaining to its present status bete need presentation liefore the people will he in the right temper of mind to deal candidly with it in that way. In the meantime let this necessary work be pushed. Let the facts be gathered in all their bearing on business and family, life, on courts of justice, on police effectiveness, on personal habits and religious life. Let these facts be held up to the light of day till people become alive to the ramifications of this evil. We already lnvc one law that cm he applied at a practical point, and that is the United States law requiring temperance instruction in the public schools. It stands the Board of Education in band to see to it that this law is adequately enforced in order to offset as far as possible the tremendous educative influence in the direction of evil of our multiplied drinking places, and drinking habits. If some thing is not done to protect the children, and instill into them correct ideas, and train them in right principles in opposition, we have only to wait the necessary time for a largely increased and much more dangerous class of paupers and criminals than the country has ever seen. There can be no other outcome. In conclusion it may be said that this is not a subject that calls for the consideration of only church members and a few goodygoody people who are supposed to be paid for their work. It is a moral responsibility that falls noon every member of the community and no man has a right, even in the seclusion of his own home, to use intoxicating liquors as a beverage without considering how far it is unfitting him for his duties as an unselfish and partiotie citizen. To such the noble principle of the Apostle Paul is still in force and just as worthy in their own case, "If meat THK FRIEND make m\ brother to offend, I will eat no ance, and the evils of drunkenness.

There was the empty Hour-barrel star ing at me with open mouth; my pocketbook was empty as the barrel; I was not on a salary, and knew of no money that was coming in. I do not know that my wife enjoyed my preaching, hut she was evidently bent on enjoying my practicing. I looked for my faith and could not find it; I looked for a way of escape, hut could not find that, my wife blocking the door of exit with the dust-brush covered with flour. I said, "J will put my head in and sing on one condition." "What's that?" said my wife. "The condition that you will put your head in with me. You know you promised to share ny joys and sorrows." She consented; so we put our heads in and sang the long-metre doxology. I will not say what else we did, but we had a good time; and when we got our heads out, we were a good bit powdered Up, which we took as a token that there was more flour to follow. Sure enough, though no person knew of our need or the empty barrel, the next day a grocery man called with a barrel of flour for the Gibhuds. Who sent it, or where it came from, we do not know to this day, save that we do know that our heavenly Father knew that we had "need of these things." I have joined with a thousand voices in singing the grand old doxology; I have sung it in many a fine church building, also in the open air under the blue canopy of heaven; but there is something very peculiar about the sound of the song when sung in an empty flour-barrel under the forgoing conditions. I have repeated the experience once or twice since with the same result, though now I never spend any time in looking for my faith; I simply apply for flour at Phil. 4:19, and then sing, "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." Bread, butter, beef, beans, and all our needs we find can be supplied from the same place. In days gone by we have trusted in a good salary, hut that sometimes failed to materialize; we have trusted in a good committee but they did not always know when rent was due. But the Lord knows 5 to Lahaina, anil the .scheme of making Waimea a health station seems to have been abandoned partly on account ot the bleakness of the climate in rainy weather, and partly because missionary servici required constant attendance at once place. Mr. Lyons was thereafter the central figure in the work in that section, remaining faithfully at his post for fifty-four years. The field at first included all Knhala, both North and South, and llamakua. In 1837 North Kohala was set off by itself, tinder Messrs. Bliss and Bailey, having to Mr. Lyons all that long strip of country, now the llamakua cane belt, extending from the present < >okala plantation to \\ aipio, and including the deep valleys of Waipto, Wairnanu and Honopue. It must be remembered that there were not even horse trails in those days, die native foot paths descending directly into the gulches and climbing the other side. The other half of the field included I'uako, two villages to the south, and Kawaihae at the sea, and two villages in Kawaihae mountain. Waimea itself contained several villages. All the country was populous with natives, W'aipio alone baying a thousand people. At first the work consisted of getting acquainted with the people, and making preaching tours through the district, and in examining and directing the schools which had already been established in the preceding decade in many sections. Then crime the great revival of 183S, during which year and the succeeding one, hundreds and even thousands of people flocked to the central station, the mission premises were crowded and overrun with those who wished to see the pastor, get instruction to buy hooks, etc., and an immense temporary lanai, or shed, had to be rected to accommodate worshippers ,vhom the thatched house of worship could not bold. This state of things of course world not last, and as the number of church members had increased to probably 3.000 or more, the field was divided up into sub-parishes. In llamakua proper there were seven; Kukuihaele hurch being then known as Kleio, Kapulena, Kawcla, I bmokaa, I'aauhau, Ka.he and Kaala. Then there were Waipio Vallcv, and Waimaiui, and on the west•rn shore, I'uako. Kawaihae at the sea, and Kawaihae with two sub-parishes on the mountain, in the district afterwards famous for its "Irish" potatoes. For each if these divisions there was an elder appointed by the missionary, and also deacons, a building for worship, and a school house, sometimes the two houses being in Men of the present day when they think of the matter often have to confess that they know very hide about the methods and details of early missionary work, and the systems of labor adopted. It occurs to the writer to give some of the features of the work in North Ha waii. I'poi' the first arrival of missionaries on these islands a few main points were occupied, viz: Kailua. I.ahaina, Honolulu and Waimea on Kauai. These were centers of effort. Later on as the force was increased the area of the group was divided Up into definite "fields." each of which was to be thoroughly worked up by the missionary in charge, the assistant, when two families were at one sta lion, being generally a teacher or a physi :i vi. The entire field in each case was to he gone over and organized, ami no hamled left out. Without stopping to give the different divisions of the main island of Hawaii, this article will deal with the field whose central station was Waimea, in South Kohala. About the year 1831. eleven years <flcr the first 'oiniiig of the missionaries, -..me of these faithful laborers felt the debilitating influence of the climate of nich stations as Kailua and Honolulu, and it was thought wise to choose some elevated, cool locality for a new center of work whither different ones could re pair at times, probably with the idea of rotation in service, or perhaps of having one permanent family, while the assistants could go and come as was most hen eficial. Dr. Judd of Honolulu, and Mr Rnggles of Kaawaloa went on a tour of inspection, ami selected Waimea, about _»,-oo feet above the sea, and central of north Hawaii. Both families removed thither and remained for some months. Dr. Baldwin, later of Lahaina, was stationed there when Dr. Judd left, Mr Buggies returning to Kaawaloa. Rev Lorenzo Lyons and Mrs. Lyons who arrived at Honolulu in the large and vigor- one. ( me large volume contained the recous reinforcement of 1832. were immed,rds for the entire field. Each sub-pariately assigned to Waimea as their home its separate list of church memhad ish and place of work. Dr. Baldwin remained bers, the record of its births, bapand year family two, or with his going but a �6 tisms, marriages and deaths. Thus the whole was kept well in hand. Every quarter the missionary, attended by two faithful "Hawaiians, who carried his baggage in ancient Hawaiian style known as imimaka, in calabashes at first, and afterwards in tin adaptations of the calabash idea, thus protected from the terrific rains of winter made the entile tour of the field. These journeys were on foot, in humble missionary Style, and as about one day was spent at each sub-station, sometimes more, holding meetings, administering the sacraments, examining candidates, and inspecting the schools, which were then all under the care of the mission, nearly three weeks were spent on the entire circuit. During this time the wife held the fort alone ami cared for the little ones, and, in a measure, for the people. The trip to Wainianu was always a hard one, climbing roadless palls and crossing deep gulches, or a perilous one by sea in canoe, a heavy swell from the north Pacific setting in suddenly and making landing dangerous. On one occasion the life work of the missionary would have ended there and then had not one of the faithful attendants mentioned above dove in the surf and rescued him from the wild waters. This was Timoteo, grandfather of Curtis I'. laukea, now of Waialua. The water stained red covered pocket Testament carried on these tours and doubtless on this occasion is still preserved by the writer of this Curtis J. Lyons. THE JAPAN MISSION AND HAWAII The annual meeting of the American Board's Japan Mission convened at Kobe College July ,}d md lasted a few hours more than a full week This yearly gathering is notable even in this land of many missions as nothing just like it characterizes any other denomination at work here. It is at once recreational, hygienic. educational and religious. Its chief work is business, both the King's business and also the kind that the hardest headed American merchants would recognize as classifiable under no other head. It is a great picnic, the families gathering from all over Japan. Those who have seen no fellow missionaries for ten months, children who for nearly a year have known no playmates come together with those residing in the large centers and every moment overflows with the joy of associations in closest intimacy with comrades in the same gre t cause. The little ones of course are radiant with fun. for then all sorts of good times are prepared and in these meetings they receive impression w Inch help to mould their lives into the forms of power which people are he-ginning to associate with the thought of missionary children. Kobe College is an Ideal place for the assembly—plenty of rooms, a spaeiou- din ing hall where the more than seventy pre -cut this year could have been reenforced by half their number without overcrowding, ex il'eat catering at surprisingly low rates and only THE FRIEND mid and minds arc spoken in full accord with Paul's golden sayings "when the Spirit ef the Lord is tbert is liberty," ami "Speaking truth in love." When the question of appropriations is reached the Mission goes into committee of the whole and the manner in which the dust is threshed out of the mass of requests that come from the various stations fur funds to carry mi the work of the next year would make the most careful financiers ruli their eyes to sec whether they had not stumbled into the meet ing of a hoard of railroad directors trying to squeeze out a dividend hy cutting down expenditures. The only troiihle with this feature lies in the sad fact that the dust threshed out is gold dust and represents work for the redemption ef men which has to he curtailed because of the dearth of funds. At the close of these financial sessions everyone wears a strained look at thought of the cruel reduction hut a new line of spiritual beauty also appears due to the spirit of unselfishness in surrendering cherished hopes in order that funds sadly desired may go where the need is still more imperative. The center nf every day's session is reserved for a spiritual feast. This year the subject was the Kingdom nf God. Kvcryone present gained a '.rgcr conception of the mind of the Master, was cheered hy the conviction "t the coming victory and felt mightily inspired : to better and more (lev..ted service than ever before. No wonder that after a week thus spent tired faces look rested, lines of care arc smoothed out and Mission meeting is found to have done more good than seven days at any sanitarium could have promise.l. For the earnest Christians in Hawaii the meeting of the Japan Mission this year has special significance, Not only were two representatives of the Hawaiian Hoard present at all the sesious and accorded the honor of cor responding membership, but what was of still greater moment not a little time was given to the consideration of the relation of the Japan ese work ill Hawaii to the interests of Christianity here. What Hawaii can do for Japan in a single isolated ease is clearly exhibited in the person of Hon. Taro Ando, one of the noblest and most influential Christian men in the Empire. lie himself is nev r weary of telling how he found Christ far away in an island across the sea and what was done for him there he is fond of asserting can be accomplished for others, hut notwithstanding this notable ex ample it nuist he admitted that a very large part of the work done for Japanese in Hawaii seems to go for nought as soon as the Pacific ocean gets in its negativing influence. It used to be said fifteen years ago of Japanese returning from America where they had been bap tiled, that the Pacific was the graveyard of Christian faith so milch of it had been I uried therein. The saying might lie repeated of those coming hack from Hawaii. That tliis is only a half truth, however, is evident from testimony coining from the see li.Mis whence the larger part of the emigrant to Hawaii have gone, showing that there are many of these returned Christians who in -eeret still regard themselves as disciples, though like the Methodist in one of his temporary falls from grace, they are "not work in' at it just now." If these could be traced out. and if the whereabouts of all other Christians who have come back from Hawaii were knowp, 'here is little doubt that with them as a foundation a most substantial and promising work onld be prosecuted. Hut alas, the Misi n after engaging a most competent Japanese to attempt just this task has been compelled to listen with keen disappointment to his report mosquitoes to grumble about. The session* are confined to the daytime, exacting committee work suffers no undigested subject matter "No Chritiun. ever reach Japan from Hato intrude and waste time, perfect freedom waii." There is just one way in which to change this doleful and exaggerated comment upon the effectiveness of the splendid campaign car iie.l on so long ill the Territory into a song of triumphant progress and the procedure is as simple as it is obvious. Require every Japan ese evangelist to send to the Hoard in Honolulu a monthly list of the Christians under his jurisdiction about to return or actually on the way to Japan, including their home addresses. Let a monthly letter be mailed to Rev. S. L. Gulick from the Board rooms giving these names and addresses. Mr. Gulick is the direct appointee of the Japan Mission to receive such communications ami to take steps to follow up every returning Christian from Hawaii. If the name of the steamer on which the persons are to sail could be known in advance, still better measures could he inaugurated here to bind the home comer to the Christian movement in his own land. The Japan Mission has definitely requested the Hawaiian Hoard to furnish the information above detailed. Of course this can and will be done. A second phase of the close relation existing between the Hawaiian Hoard ami the Japan Missiiin was very carefully considered at Kobe. This was nothing less than the question of the supply of evangelists. The successful forward movement of the past year and a half has most painfully accentuated the straitened condition of .all Japanese missions in respect to trained Christian workers. Everywhere there are whitened fields but the laborers arcsadly wanting. Matters have reached such an acute stage that it is clearly seen that no increased supply of men for Hawaii can be furnished. It is hoped that the number now at work can somehow he maintained, hut even this may he found impossible. In this emergency the Mission has actually turned to the Islands for help. Fortunately the bulk of em igrants come from the class of farm laborers. I'he history of Christianity has always enforced the lesson that the best work for any el.ass can be done by those who belong thereto. Jestis, a Gililean all save by birth, drew most of his disciples from Galilee. So it has ever been. Why not then try to raise up and train in Hawaii a band of workers from among the people on the ground? There is no need of elaborate training or of an education that shall take the men out of sympathy with their fellows. What ecems to be indicated is a training school n the lines of such practical institutions for lay workers as those founded by Spurgeon in London ami Moody in Chicago. Already Hawaii has had a slight taste of what the latter institution can do in the case of Mr. .Seimatsu Kiniura. who is conducting such a remarkable campaign in Tokyo. Furthermore Japan might be incalculably benefitted hv such an institution. At present the farming classes are almost entirely outside the Christian movement here. Suppose Hawaii should train a dozen men from a. many provinces who in the Providence of God should find their way back to their homes after years of practical work in the 'territory? Might not the Island gift trove the best offering ever made tO the cause of the Kingdom? At all events the Japan Mission by unanimous action lay. this question before the Christians of Hawaii for their prayerful consideration.

Whitemen: REV. W. D. WESTERVELT : Some time ago the Agitation Committee of the Anti-Saloon League sent out a list of questions (200 copies going to white men and 100 to natives) in reference to the sale of intoxicating liquors and its effects in these Islands. The Temperance page of this issue is put at the disposal of the committee for its report. Forty-nine white men and sixtythree natives returned answers. Below, these questions are printed with the answers received. In all hut three, the answers are given practically in full as returned to the committee. 1. Do you see any evidence that drunkenness has become more prevalent in your district Hany answers.

Three applications for saloons were defeated at Waialua. Rev. Mr. Poepoe, assistant pastor of Kaumakapili Church, was sent by the League to pass a petition among the Hawaiians; Mr. W. A. Bowen took a petition to Manager Goodale of the Waialua Sugar Plantation. The two petitions were signed by a large number of influential people, and the applications for license were defeated. The Primo beer saloons, in direct conflict with the decision of the United States District Court, have been allowed to run hy the territorial officials until their year's license expired. Nine of these licenses expired during July. The Anti-Saloon League is watching to see if these saloons attempt to do business against territorial laws. They have kept closed doors, and apparently- do not open at all for business. Camarinos's saloon license expires Sept. 4th. This is the noted "Gambrinus" saloon. �;he friend The Christian Life... TRUTH AND LIFE Experience shows that the highest ends of life are secured by shaping our plans and directing our actions in accordance this in with the facts about us. We seewatching such common place routine as the state of the market or the weather. When we try to live in ignorance of, or without reference to facts, we inevitably bring harm upon ourselves, and lay ourselves open to the suspicion that we are weak in judgment or careless in action. Another illustration is found in our relations with others. It is enjoined hy all as one of the highest duties to so ?peak and act that the real condition of things shall be revealed. This is required that those whose lives we affect may guard their interests by adjusting themselves to their environment. So clearly is this recognized that to falsify is regarded as one of the greatest vices, and the falsifier as one of the greatest enemies of life and happiness: and so it comes that truthfulness is regarded as one of the highest virtues. This dependence of welfare upon fact would argue hat not only is the knowledge of fact essential but that the facts themselves must in the main he of such a nature as to he conducive to well-being; and. further, that, if we live in a beneficent universe, the ultimate constitution and arrangement of things, under a divine providence are, in the large view, such as to promote our highest good and this, as we readily see, is only another way of saying that God is good, and that the universe is shaped with reference to moral ends. To know the facts and laws, material and moral, of the universe in which we live, in other words, to know the truth, in order that by this knowledge we may make our lives promotive of the highest moral and spiritual ends, should, therefore, be one of the chief aims in life. To fully comprehend these facts and laws is, of course, beyond the power of any finite intellect; but in the realm of highest truth, that which pertains to God and His redemptive work for men, we have the promise of the guidance of a supernatural helper, the Holy Spirit. "When he the Spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth." That the truth is the divinely appointed means of bringing us into largeness and fullness of life is also suggested by words of the Savior, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." This is life eternal to know God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." : We do not then need to fear the truth. The truth has no influence in the world but to lead to larger and better things. We should not be distressed when we see some old and cherished belief compelled to give way before a clearer light. This is not working to our detriment, but to our greater freedom and power. It is one of the ways in which the truth should "make us free." Again God is a "God of truth" who the Psalmist tells us "desires truth in the inward parts." When, therefore, we come into knowledge and obedience to the truth we come into likeness and fellowship with God, "But speaking the truth in love may grow up in all things into him who is the head even Christ." AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE certificates which are furnished to every scholar who gives fifty cents or a dollar for this purpose are an effective means of securing interest. After all. if not mucn money comes in this way, the idea is a good one as a mere matter of education. K. G. S Miss Pope, Kainehameha with two of the graduates of the Girls' School, has been on Maui most of the vacation, and although not in the best of health during that time managed to eijoy herself with several of the young women who live in Hana, where she spent the greater part of her time.

The Friend suggests that some better institution might try the expedient of the saloons and offer a free stand like the one. corner Bethel and Hotel streets, to be used for all political parties. A crowd around one's place of business should be worth considerable: the insidious character of the saloon's venture is perfectly apparent. It is but fair to the police of our Territo state their side of the failure to convict illicit sellers of liquor. They claim that many' carefully prepared cases have resulted merely in being nolle prossctl on account either of the peculiar law of evidence, or else because of arbitrary rules of court. It appears, they say. that Circuit Courts have refused to accept evidence obtained through spies, and one tory conceive ofevidence against liquor sellers obtained in any other way. It looks as though the law, or rules of particular courts, make conviction impossible. cannot The special edition of The Friend on the occasion of its fust birthday, and in honor of the work of the American Board in these Islands, is an assured thing. The American Board have promised the editors of THE FRIEND their hearty support and their wish to send a large number "I the copies to their constituents.

In the face of the overwhelming logic of the above, we state it as our belief that Theodore Roosevelt is no trimmer, and we are absolutely positive that "the most useful citizen in New York, Jacob A. Riis," doesn't know the first principle of trimming. Perhaps trimming is too firmly intrenched in the public mind as a hit of political wisdom to attack, but we venture this suggestion as at least a danger, viz: that the trimmer is as likely to undershoot the mark as the reformer is to overshoot it. More specifically, one can have faith enough in the people to believe them capable of appreciating and electing the best candidates possible: or so underrate the people as to believe them incapahle of electing anyone but "heelers." Tt looks as though a "reformer" might stand comparison with a "trimmer." REV. WILLIAM MORRIS KINCATD Rev. William Morris Kincaid, pastor of Central Union Church, Honolulu, was born in Utica, New York. His father was George Kincaid, a Scotsman from Inverness; his mother a French Hugcnot. This combination of Scotch tenacity of purpose and incisivcness of thought with French delicacy of feeling and quickness of intuition was a priceless inheritance. His boyhood was passed in Utica, where he prepared for college in the public schools of the city. After four years collegiate training at Williams College under that great educator, Mark Hopkins, he graduated with honors in '72. His theological course he obtained at the Baptist Seminary in Rochester, N. Y.. Mr. Kincaid's first pastorate was at Cortland, N. Y. from 1875-78. He then ministered to the church at Roundout, N. V., until 1881. when he accepted a call to the First Baptist Church of San Francisco, Cal. Here he labored until 1800. Tn that year he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Andrew Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis, where be remained until coming to Honolulu. In 1898 he accepted the call of the Central Union Church and arriving in the city in September, was installed as most effective, the membership having nearly doubled during the four years of his pastorate, and the work of the church having developed along many lines. I lis preaching is earnest and thoughtful, strong and spiritual. By his eloquent sermons and by his kindly sympathy he has endeared himself to the hearts of the people. /. P. P.. VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES. The gigantic and disastrous eruptions of volcanoes in Martinique and St. Vincent in the Lesser Antilles, continue to create the most serious apprehensions of not improbable greater explosions to follow their repeated activity. Here in Honolulu, we are vividly reminded of those terrific explosions by the brilliant skyglows at daybreak and dusk, which proceed from the minute dust which they have sent far aloft into the upper currents of the atmosphere. Our group is undoubtedly as safe as any other country from volcanic eruptions, with the exception of the southern part of the island of Hawaii, where two active volcanoes conduct frequent displays, usually of a very harmless character. No explosive eruptions have occurred there for over a century. The very tame volcano of Kilattea, which is 200 miles from Honolulu, has recently resumed a very quiet sort of activity, after several years of quiescence. The lake of lava is slowly welling ui> into the bottom of the inner crater of TTaleaniau man. Tt promises to renew the magnificent spectacles enjoyed by visitors during so many past years. The fine hotel on the brink of the great crater is likely now to become a place of crowded resort. S. P.. n. HAWAIIAN STUDENTS ON THE MAINLAND. Dave we Americanism in Hawaii?

At the instance of a friend, the present writer has given some special attention to the religious and political attitude of the noted Russian, Count Lyof N. Tolstoi, as contained in his latest manifesto in a small volume entitled "What is Religion." Tolstoi is manifestly sincere in his opinions, and intensely in earnest. I hit both as to religion anil politics, he evinces an utterly ill-balanced mind, and an incapacity for finding a middle path between extremes. This is shown most clearly in respect to politics, which occupy a large part of the volume. Ile is profoundly detcstful of the abuses of government which prevail in Russia, hut instead of pointing out and urging the needed reforms, he goes to the extreme of opposing all forcible authority over men. He denounces with utmost passion all use of force in controlling the evil dispositions of men, with all use of police or military. All use of force is contrary to the law of Love and Brotherhood as enjoined by Jesus, and militarism is organized murder. He fails to allow for the necessary limitations to every precept, or to see that society can exist only hy the exercise of law and ordered control, to he maintained by force. His only remedy for the abuses of tyranny is the entire abolition of Government. Such is Tolstoi's absence of discriminating judgment. He is an absolute crank, devoid of sound guidance of thought. Equally erratic is Tolstoi on the subject of Religion. He has strong religious feeling, being by no means atheistic or impious. But having heen all his life wonted to the religious abuses of the powerful Orthodox Greek Church, and having renounced that erroneous and usurped authority, he has with it renounced all Divine Revelation, and all authority of the Holy Scriptures. He retains much reverence for the teaching of the man Jesus, as he chooses to select it out of the recorded words in the Gospel, but rejects all Divine authority thereof. He denounces with violence as false and absurd the Christianity of the Apostles and especially of Paul, equally with the corruptions and priestcraft of later centuries. Of what he retains of reverence for the moral teachings of the merely man Jesus, he reduces to two elements, the Brotherhool of Man, and the sacred duty of doing to others as you would have them do to you. All else of Christianity is false and pernicious accretion. There are no Miracles. There is no Divine Revelation. Jesus was neither born of a virgin nor rose from the dead, nor was more divine than any other man. There is no Holy Spirit. The Supreme Deity is something dim and remote from thought. Prayer is allowed under narrow limitations, exclud- ing all supplication for mercies, hut admitting a species of communion with God as the infinite fountain of being and law. Thus is this great and sincere soul adrift in mazes of error. One prays that this aged martyr to his beliefs may in the hereafter emerge into a blessed light of the Truth of the Son of God, and into the Kingdom of the Redeemer which is to S. E. B. endure forever. EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION DISPROVED. All persons acquainted with Science believe that all living beings came into existence by descent from earlier and simpler forms. Rut this does not necessarily mean that, as Darwin and Spencer held, the process of development was the slow one of gradual changes by merely natural process, and the "survival of the fittest." in the ContemporJames B. Johnston impugns that vigorously ary Review theory. He appears to produce the most positive and cumulative evidence from the fossil remains unearthed from the ancient rocks, that evolution came by great leaps and sudden bounds. During the halfcentury since Darwin wrote, the "Testimony of the Rocks" has enormously accumulated. It brings overwhelming proof of the great and sudden development of new organs and new families. Evidence is totally wanting of the numerous intermediate links attending gradual change hy natural selection. The new tribes and new organs appear at their very beginning in great completeness and perfection. There were no intermediate stages of evolution whatever. For example, the great order of the Vertebrates appears to have arisen suddenly and in great perfection. The very earliest organ of vision found was a very perfect and complex eye. The earliest bird, successor to pterodactyls in the samestrata, had perfect feathers, and could fly as well as birds now. When Darwin wrote, the rocks bad been but slightly explored, and the gaps in the evidence were immense. He could plausibly assume that the intermediate links in his fancied gradual evolution lay overlooked in the unexplored strata. But in the lapse of fifty years those gaps in the exploration have been sufficiently searched to prove that his theory was wholly untenable. The results of this genuinely scientific test of Darwin and Spencer's a priori theorizing are of the utmost importance. With these falls to the ground a largepart of Herbert Spencer's revolutionizing conclusions. Most of his naturalistic and agnostic theorizing loses its strongest support It breaks down the current opposition to teleological reasoning or Evi-j deuces of Design in Nature, for all that depends upon the validity of the doctrine that all living forms with their marvellous and intricate adaptation to their environment were evolved solely by gradual natural processes, and no Designer bad any hand in so fitting them. Now the Rocks prove that their evolution was sudden and not gradual. This writer, Johnston, writes with a quiet confidence and an evidently wide reach of geological and palaeontological facts which give great plausibility to his assertions. We shall wait to see what rehuttal is made of them. Such refuting will of course be attempted. The Christian's fullest faith in the Personal God and Father is, however, built upon inward spiritual experience, and not upon the disputed reasonings of Physical Science or of Philosophy. S. E. B. THE KAONITES OF KONA, HAWAII A Curious Hit of Hawaiian History John Kaona, the leader of the sect called Kaonites, came to Kona, Hawaii, from Honolulu when he had the reputation of being a kahuna, and a record not altogether reputable, some time during the year 1867. He first appeared there at one Thursday afternoon prayer meeting in the native stone church on the hill, called the Popopiia Church. Rev. J. D. Paris was conducting the services, and Kaona entered carrying a large number of Hawaiian Bibles, which he asked the privilege of storing in the church. As there seined to be no objection, he was allowed to place them there for safe keqiing. He soon began to distribute these Bibles among the people, ostensibly to help in the Christian work of the district, and thus secured an influence and a hearing, for "a man's gift maketh room for him." It was two or three months before the heresy which Kaona had come to promote became apparent, when he had secured a hearing and a following from a large number of the native Christians of the district. He claimed to be an inspired leader like Moses; that he had special revelations from heaven. He denied some of the teachings of the Bible, but the particulars of his doctrine have not been preserved. He seems to have modeled them somewhat after the tenets of the Millerites, who flourished in the United States during the early forties. He claimed that it had been revealed to him that the world was soon coming to an end, and that he was commissioned to withdraw from the churches a people who should be specially prepared to welcome the Lord when He �THE FRIEND 6 should appear. Recalling the "ascension robes" of the Millcritca, they all dressed in white, men, women and children, and each carried a white, hag containing a Bible. They inarched much in processions chanting psalms, held a meeting every evening and lived in tents and booths in community style, for a while at least. They claimed from Mr. Paris the use of the l.anakila church in North Kona for their meetings, as they had assisted in building it. Though this was true, Mr. Parts did not feel that it would he righl to seem to fay ir thcni to that extent, ami refused. They then withdrew entirely from the native churches of the district, several hundred of them, who were thereafter known as Kaniiitts. Kaona had meantime secured to himself a large number of (lie homes ami kulcanas of the natives, giving them in return a written promise to care for them as long as they should live, "A like pu inc. ka niea l.iki," "the best of my ability" was the ambigll tuts term lie used m promising them his care in exchange fur their property. After they had withdrawn from the churches ani given Up their homes to a larg. t\ tent. Kaona found ii was necessary to havi some place where he could Collecl the people antl where they could culti vate the land for food. So he applied to the old chief Kanaina. father of Lunalilo, for the lease of a large tract of unoccupied land in S. Kona called Honua-ino, a mile or so below the road, extending tt the sea. Kanaina refused to give them a formal lease, but said in writing thai they could occupy the land as long as they wished without rent, ami assured tliein that they would never he disturbed SBV ing that his word was good is Ins bond. They accordingly took possession, built some houses and a temporary church, over which floated a tlag inscribed "Jehovah our Planner.'' ami began the erection of a large stone church, the walls of which four or live feet high were still standing a few years ago—antl may he yet. They started schools, cultivated the lands near the bead) where they could obtain water, and seemed to promise to become a thriving and harmless community. Bat they were nut long allowed to remain thus, for a neighbor who owned much land mauka <>f the settlement applied for and obtained from Kanaina a lease of this, same land, Honua-ino, ami at once gave notice to Kamia anil his I'ollowers to leave the place. This they naturally refused to do, claiming that though they hail no lease, they hail Kanaina's written assurance that they should not he of the Kaonitcs. Both Rev. Mr. Paris and Mr. Grccnwdl, who lived in the district, warned Mr. Neville that the people in Honua-ino were in a slate of great excitement and that he ought to use the greatest wisdom or a riot would occur, and his own life might be in danger. Hut he thought he could man age il, and Oct. i<), 1868, securing some native policemen, he l'tiile down to I lo nua-iiio lo his death. When the people refused to leave their homes ami church and cultivated lands, at his demand, he foolishly fired a pistol into the air to inmint timidate them. This was enough to enrage the already excited natives, antl they began to use freely the only weapons they hail at hand, stones. A stone Struck Mr. Neville ami knocked him off his horse, when he was speedily stoned to death. Moses Barritt, a half-white in Neville's company, was chased by the natives ami barely escaped with his life, while a. native, Kaniai, was lassoed antl dragged to death by the infuriated Kaonitcs, who were described as acting like wild ani- mals. The rest of the invaders were obliged to return without having accomplished anything, and the greatest alarm spread throughout X ma. It was reported that the Kaonitcs were about lo burn the houses anil murder every white man in ihe district. Patrols were established, and call for help was at once sent to Honolulu. Messengers were dispatched to Sheriff Coney at Hilo and Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth at Kawaihac ami others who came to the scene of trouble as soon as possible. They held a meeting with ihe residents of Kona, and securing other officers and residents of the place, went down to Honua-ino, The natives were told that any man who threw a stone or showed any insubordination would be shot at once. They held a long conference with Kaona, who showed them his letters from Kanaina. Many fell that if they had not made themselves outlaws by the murder of Mr- Neville, they might have heen held to have sonic claim to the land. While they were still parleying, the old steamer Kilauca came in sight around the point of Kailua. and when the Kaonaitcs saw that all hope of resistance was over, they yielded and were taken prisoners. Some three hundred, men, women and children, were marched up the hill to the residence of Mr. Todd in S. Kona, where they were kept in the yard all night in the rain, ami ihe next morning were put on hoard the Kilauca ami brought to Honolulu. Here they were tried antl a woman named Kaolama turned slate's evidence disturbed. man who held the lease then ap- and told what Kaona had ordered, and lo Mr. Neville, the deputy sheriff who killed Neville. Five of the conspirdistrict, for assistance in the eject- ators, including Kaona, were imprisoned. ■ After serving his term in prison Kaona returned to Kona with some of his followers, when he again secured some of the lands which had formerly been given him. But he was never able to reorganize his scattered ranks, and after a few years lie died in Kona. A few of the people returned to the church, but many remained in Honolulu, and thus the sect of the Kaonitcs became extinct. Mary S. Whitney. KAENOMKEKELA.

W. D. WESTERVELT The action of Mrs. Roosevelt in refusing to speak to. or see, the Grand Duke Itoris because of his outrageously immoral life, will be a strong influence helping pure minded women in high positions to make known that the laws of morality arc superior to the customs of society. It will he much easier for ladies to refuse greeting to men whose lives are notoriously had. While Mrs. I laves was in the White House her influence in regard to the use of intoxicants prepared the way for a continued improvement over former years in White I louse etiquette. When society has once taken a step upward it is not easy to sink clear hack to the low level again. The Republican party in its Territoral Convention, Sept. i, put itself on record as opposed to any Dispensary Legislation by the following plank: "13. We do not favor legislation ending toward the conducting of the iquor business by the Territorial Gov- ernment." This is apparently a harmless statement of an excellent purpose. It is true that it is not desirable to have the liquor business conducted by the Territorial Government. It is also true that the liquor business is not desirable no matter by whom it may he conducted. There is a sense of degradation which can never be removed from any one conducting a saloon, whether it is handled by a government or by an individual. Nevertheless it was not the purpose of the liquor men to bring out the low status of the liquor traffic. They simply meant to check any movement toward inaugurating a Dispensary or Gothenberg system of handling intoxicants in these islands. The real desire was to check any interference with their money making. Again we note that it was only owing to the steadfast earnestness of a few men that the Republican party was kept from appearing before the American public as an out and out whiskey party. It is an open secret that a much stronger pro-saloon plank was desired in the platform. A few level-headed men checked the committal of the Republicans to a pledge against all temperance legislation. This would have compelled the organization of a third party and the nomination of men of good character and influence for the responsible positions subject to the vote of the people. still, my soul, in the sih-tit dark I would question thee .Mime in the shallow drear anil stark With God ami me.

Do you not think that Elisha kept a sharp watch on Elijah? Then suddenly there swept down that chariot of fire; Elijah stepped into his Father's carriage, which had come to take him home, and was swept away up to heaven. As Elisha watched him, Elijah seems to have suddenly thought be would not want the old mantle up there, that he would get a new white robe ; so he threw the old one down at Elisha's feet. Then Elisha took it up reverently, and said to himself, "I have seen him go, and I have what he promised." 1 doubt not the devil said to him, "Ah, you are a fool! You have nothing but an old mantle that is not worth your carrying." "Yes," said Pllisha, "I have something more than that —I have his power." "You do not feel it, do you?" "No, but that makes no difference ; I have it for all that. I saw him go, and I have it though I do not feel it." When he reached the Jordan there were a number of young students watching him. I think the devil said, "Now see those shrewd young fellows looking at you; if you make a failure, they will never forget it; and you are bound to fail. Wait until they have gone home to supper, and when it is a bit dusk you can practice with your old mantle." "No," he said, "I am not going to practice with it; I do not need to; I have my master's power, and I am going to act in faith." And he struck the waters in faith; in the act of faith he found he received that for which he trusted God. The landscape is very much affected by the glass through which you regard it. If that glass is yellow, everything looks yellow. If it is blue, everything looks blue. If it is somber, everything looks somber. Now, the man who is living a life of love looks out upon his life through the love of God, and the love of God has such a mysterious property in it that it takes away from terrible things their terror, from dreadful things their dread, and from the malignity of man his spite; and the soul looks with a calm serenity upon all the circumstances of life and finds itself hushed and calm. plunge in and follow the captain, and he Mr. Beers resigned his position at the Boarding School in order that he might accept will soon have the bullets flying about the position which had been left vacant by the of a him.

The ten spies differed from Caleb and Joshua in their report of the land of Canaan. There are three words here beginning with G—the word "God," the word "giant" and the word "grasshopper."." Now, note, these spies made a great mistake as to the position of these three words; they compared themselves with the people of the land and said, "And in their sight we were as grasshoppers." If they had compared the people of the land with God, they would have come back, as Caleb and Joshua did, who said in effect, "We have compared the giants with God, and the giants are as grasshoppers." If we were to believe in the survival of the fittest there would not be much chance for some of us. But the glory of the gospel is this, that God comes to the unfit, to the marred and spoiled, to those who have thwarted and resisted him, and that he is prepared to make them over again; and if you will let him he will make you too.

After which, he served as manager of the Boarding Scnool Ice Plant under Mr. Terry and in later years as superintendent of the farm work. The plans for the Hilo Boarding School are progressing. About $19,000 have been subscribed for the purpose. Mr. H. M.

Others are expected and when all are returned there will probably be about sixty; which is as many as the Seminary buildings can accommodate. The teaching of lace making.—which is a new department in the school—is meeting with a great interest ; quite a number having forty-six joined the class, while others are intending to do so in a short time. The girls are taught to do very good work- in the tlress making and native weaving departments —and already they have commenced to prepare for the Christmas sale.

The new teachers come with the best of recommendations. Miss Calwell. who takes the work in English, and other branches, is a graduate of Acadia, a university whose graduates enter the senior year at Harvard, a normal graduate and an experienced teacher. She resigns the principalship of a Canadian High School to engage in Hawaiian mission work. Miss Seong. of the primary department, is a graduate of the city Normal School, and a kindergarten teacher of several years' experience. She conies highly recommended by all under whom she has studied and taught. The matron's position is held by Mrs. Watson, formerly of Maunaolu Seminary, in which she filled the same position for eight years. The industrial department is to be made a prominent feature of the school. In the sewing department, under Miss Van Anglen. plain sewing for ladies and children will be done, and articles of Hawaiian weaving may be obtained, at reasonable rates. Four of the more advanced pupils of the sewing department are assisting Mrs. Wilcox in her weekly sewing classes in connection with Kawaiahao church. The seminary is this year open to Normal students as a boarding home. A number have already entered and others are expected. It is hoped that the financial stringency so generally predicted for the coming year, will not be so severe as to cripple the efforts being made for the improvement of the school. Ktiwalshao ' Semi- �9 THE PR.END in OUR ISLAND HOMES Edited by : : : : MARY DILLINGHAM FRKAR A study of our thrifty neighbors, the Portuguese, is opportune for us this month, when, in spite of our agreeable and mild climate, we must realize that this is the fall of the year, we must find and drink the ()ctoher wine of spirit to give us nerve and fire for a good winter of work. While to he sure we are thankful that life is given to us in little bits and are, in one sense of the word, wise if we live but a day, hut an hour, at a time, still in another sense we are most unwise if we look no further than the nearest duty, the next step to be taken. A purpose for life must we have? Yes, and why not a particular purpose for each .year, each winter, each month? Let as not be lotus eaters dreamily seeing all days glide by as summer days, but let us choose some course, make some plan, set ourselves to certain tasks to be done in certain times—then may we better grow, physically, intellectually, spiritually. Life is but a working day, Whose tasks are set aright A time to work, a time to pray, And then a quiet night. And then, please God, a quiet night, Whose palms are green and robes are white, A iong-drawn breath, a balm for sorrow, And all things lovely on the morrow. —C ROSSETTI. PORTUGUESE | the dwellings being built almost entirely of native stone with red tiled roofs and wide verandahs showing glimpses of cool, dim interiors through the overhanging masses of vines. Well kept parka break the monotonous lengths of streets solidly built up of business and dwelling houses. Beyond the mountains stretches the open country, almost the whole of it entailed estates of the nobility, but divided into small holdings given over to the peasants for cultivation. The lines of survey marked by stone walls or box hedges and not infrequently by solid hanks of nothing but fuschias in full bloom. Quaint little peasant cottages with high thatched roofs meet the eye as the traveler swings through the country in a cushioned and silk curtained palanquin suspended from the shoulders of two strong carriers. It has a semi-tropical climate and from the harbor of Funchal where the whitewinged vessels come and go, cargoes of tropical fruits and casks of wine of the famous 'old Madeira' vintage are sent to the markets of the world." It is a winter resort for invalids and tourists from the northern part of the continent. Since the islands are thickly populated and the land is owned by the nobility, it is difficult for the common people to gain a living. The wages of skilled mechanics in the city seldom exceeded eighty cents a day. The women do beautiful and dainty needlework. Their hand-made embroideries are HOMES IN HONOLULU. exported to England and parts of the Among the many representatives of European nations on these islands are the Portuguese, The majority of them came here as laborers from the middle and lower classes of the islands of Madeira and Azores. As their terms of contract expired, with inherent desire of owning homes, they bought or leased small tracts of land and began at once to improve them, and now they, with few exceptions, own their homes. They are noted for industry and thrift. The barren plots under Portuguese cultivation and care were soon converted into blooming gardens and fruitful vineyards. The Portuguese is most happy when he can dwell "under his vine and under his fig tree." Let us take a glance at their mother country. "The discovery of Madeira was the second achievement of the early Portuguese mariners," Columbus married a daughter of its first Governor. Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is a "white city;" matters of importance. The brothers are their sisters' keepers. The altars in the Catholic homes teach reverence for religion and the church. The children consider it a great favor to be allowed to kiss the priest's ring as he rides past them on the street and extends his hand to them. Here is a beautiful Catholic custom. When a child approaches his father in the morning off goes his cap and "pa* a sua benca" is reverently spoken ; the father lifts his hand and says, "The Lord bless you and keep you my child." This custom is still practised by the older families, but alas, it is vanishing. Among the Catholics the Sabbath day used to be like any other week day: only the feast days were kept sacred. Since the Protestant mission was established here its influence has permeated even Catholic homes and now one seldom sees a Portuguese going to the fish market on Sunday morning to do his marketing. The home life also has been lifted to a higher standard. The parsonage situated among them as it is has veritably been a college settlement. The kindergarten where seven hundred and twelve little souls have come in contact with the teachings of Froebcl withm the last eight years, lias heen an uplifting influence the result of which eternity alone can estimate. The Portuguese are a music-loving people and although the trotibador of the mother country was not transmigrated to these isles yet in almost every home is found the guitar or violin, the younger element taking to the piano and organ.

Gulick, was sent to the committee who had in charge last spring the plans and alterations that might he made in the working of the Society during the new half century. A few quotations are not out of place here, although the letter was not received in time to he acted upon before the Jubilee. "A suggestion of Cousin F. W. Damon's made some years ago, recurs frequently to my mind, with a very strong wish that it might he acted upon in some way. It was that 'the Cousins' Society might as an organization, take up the work (which our Cousin Frank Damon and his admirable wifehave done so many years) of giving a welcome, and a God-speed to the numerous missionaries of all these eastern lands who touch at Honolulu." She adds: "Not that there has been any lack of service— but I covet for the Society which represents all the descendants of the Hawaiian missionaries, a share in that good work." She suggests that a committee might be possibly appointed to work with Cousin F. W. Damon, and a purse be supplied to help entertain the welcome visitors as they come and go. This suggestion may well he considered in future, when the question of how our funds arc kept up, and our responsibilities of the past met, is decided. A letter from Father Edward Bailey from Alhambra, Los Angeles Co., S. Cal., dated Sept. 2nd, acknowledges from the hand of Mrs. Robert W. Andrews, the Jubilee number of the annual report "with thanks," corrects some small errors, and then says: "In the Missionary Album my going as a delegate to Micronesia was left out. Perhaps the fault was my own. I consider it a good piece of my life. In looking hack over my life I see things not as 1 would now do them. But my happiest missionary year was when I had a select boys' school at Wailuku. My hardest years were when I had the Kula Kaikamahine of Wailuku. But it was not in vain." "I regret that my hook on Micronesia has not heen printed. If it had~Ticen published that great blunder of the U. S. in regard to Ponape, would have been left out of its history.

We are happy to note that this Summer Miss Ruth Beckwith, the daughter of Rev. Frank A. and Mrs. Mary (Holmes) Beckwith, is visiting her grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. Edward G. Beckwith, of Paia, Maui. Miss Catharine W. Goodale, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Goodale of Waialua Plantation, has lately left the Islands to finish her education at the East. Rev. Horace W. Chamberlain and wife have moved from Columbia City, Washington, to the state line between Washington and Idaho, where he supplies two churches, Newport, Wash., and Priest River, Idaho. Mrs. Frances L. Church reports in a late letter that she has removed her home from Lansing, Mich., to Oherlin, Ohio. Her daughter Louise, who is a most successful teacher of the blind and now connected with the State Asylum in Salem, Oregon, has been favored this summer to join two very unusual camping-out excursions with scientific parties, to the summit of the wonderful mountains of Oregon. * PERSONIFIED THE KNABE Among the Honolulu people Nearly seventy years of uninterrupted success in the manufacture of the KNABE PIANO insures the possessor of the Knabe of today, an instrument incomparable in the realm of pianos who have bought a KNABE are the following; in whose homes the pianos sing their own pra.ses:GOV.

All of them were thriving at the last date, and the smallest of them, who weighed but 4J lbs. at birth, had "almost caught up with his brothers." Their names are Donald, Chester Dean, and Dale Edward Christison. We have to record the death of Mr. Philip Weaver, Sr., husband of Mrs. Ellen (Armstrong) Weaver, (manager of the Lunalilo Home), on the 15th of September, 1902. His remains were cremated (at his own previously expressed request) and the urn was interred in the Armstrong plat in the Mission Cemetery of Kawaiahao. Mr. Weaver had been in Honolulu about fifteen months, having been an invalid for many months here. His suffering was borne with heroic patience and his end was perfect peace.

We do not apologize for the price charged for each copy of the Decem- ber number for we expect to have it worth 20 cents, and it will cost us nearly that. One of the new things of this century in the Pacific, is the advent of crude oil as fuel for ocean steamers as well as for land engines. The oil wells of Southern California have lately taken to gushing forth great streams of petroleum which is delivered at the seaboard at extremely low prices. Oil is displacing coal as fuel, and the coal miners are in despair. Manufactures in California, especially of iron, are feeling the tremendous stimulus given by cheap fuel. In Hawaii, our sugar plantations are preparing to substitute oil for coal in their pumping engines, and in their locomotives. Great oil tanks are building at the harbors, and tank-ships are being prepared to transport the fuel. The same change is in progress for our ocean steamers. The Mariposa recently made a most successful trip from San Francisco to Tahiti and back, with her new oil burners. And now the great freighter Nevadan, burning oil, arrives in seven days and three hours, instead of the usual time of eight days. Oil on ocean steamers occupies half the room of coal, costs half as much, and requires only a small number of men to handle it, instead of the usual great crowd of coal-passers. The new fuel is working a revolution. Oil-Burning Steamers NO. XI HONOLULU, T. H., NOVEMBER, 1902 year past Hawaii For „ ,has abeen .■' 'suffering a most severe financial depression, owing to the unprecedentedly low price of sugar. This has been caused by the over-production of beet-sugar in Europe. The price has been so low as to prevent a majority of our plantations from making any profit. In consequence, there has of late been great rejoicing at the news of an immense shortage in the beet crop of this year in Europe. Sugar is advancing in price. Prospects are bright of an early return of living profits, and Hawaii feels great relief. It seems wrong for men to rejoice at the misfortunes of other men; but Europe has been doing her best to ruin the cane-sugar countries, and they will not weep over her misfortunes. One cause of satisfaction to Thk Friend is that this brings a gleam of hope for the sadly straitened finances of our Hawaiian Board, threatening disastrous shrinkage in our needy work. Several of our most munificent donors have been compelled by loss of income to diminish their gifts. If the expected relief comes, they will assuredly resume their liberal aid. Sugar Looking up Wahiawa Home-steads Ranging from 900 to t (2oo feet altitude above the sea, upon a most lovely sloping upland, lies the Wahiawa settlement of some twenty families of American farmers, the only community of that sort in Hawaii. By several years' occupation, and purchase at low price from the Government, they have come into full possession of their farms. Many comfortable homes have been created. A large irrigating ditch of several miles in length affords a bountiful supply of water, to supplement the rains which at the lower end of the tract are somewhat scanty. Their culture of vegetables has met with much hindrance from cutworms and other insect pests. They now have the best prospects of large profit in the culture of pineapples, which has been a great success in similar localities. A large cannery for this fruit is about to be erected, and some hundreds of thousands of plants are growing. This settlement has already become much in favor as a summer resort for residents of Honolulu. Probably a hotel would do a good business located upon the upper end of the slope where the climate is coolest. A fine bridge connects the Waialua road with this long narrow tract lying between the two branches of stream. It is ten the great Kaukonahua miles to their post office by good wheeling from Pearl City railway station. When Pearl Harbor becomes open in the near future, they will be in a near proximity to a large seaport. Je j; Railway°"for the SiP sal lanting Oahu past three years have had opportunity to observe two or three miles beyond Ewa Mill on both sides of the railway, some hundreds of acres of dry, rocky ground studded with young sisal plants, evidently in healthy condition. These are sisal, the long leaves furnishing a fibre of good length and great toughness. It is of high commercial value. Some $20,000,000 worth of this fibre is annually imported into the United States. At Chicago, the Deering Harvester Works manufactures daily 30,000 miles of sisal twine for harvest-binding. The sisal plantation at Ewa gives the greatest promise of success. The plants are now nearly ready to supply matured leaves, which they will continue to yield for from five to seven years, during which little or no labor is needed for cultivation. It is expected soon to erect the necessarydecorticating works for extracting the fibre from the leaves. An average value of the annual yield from one acre is one hundred dollars. This product, if successful, will prove a great boon to these Islands, for the reason that it grows upon rocky and arid soils without irrigation, and with little labor or care after the first two years. Hawaii possesses immense tracts of such lands which are otherwise nearly useless commercially. The algaroba tree has thus far been the only useful growth available on those lands. The bright green fan-like bunch of spears which form the sisal plant makes a beautiful object when arranged in straight regular rows. Sisal is one of the Century plant family, maturing in eight or ten years, and dying after suddenly shooting up its lofty stem covered with a thousand young plants. The perfect health of the Ewa plants indicates that their culture has passed the experimental a en er f f f stage.

B. erer " LFERTOXMSACDELAPORTE PEHAV. Pleasant Island, May 23. 1902. Tin-- RttV. O. 11. Gu_i_K, Honolulu, H. T. Mv Dear Sir:-—At Easter we had the great privilege of admitting nineteen more persons into the Church, which brings the total of our membership up to forty. We have much to encourage us at our out-stations, where the meetings have been real well attended lately, especially so at Ewa, where somewhat like forty persons have signified their desireMay the Holy to follow our Master. Spirit teach them what it means to follow the meek and lowly Nazarene at all times and tinder all circumstances. Will they pay the price when the time of testing their faith comes? Our hearts arc filled with prayer for these poor people. We are certain that you are glad to bear that we have opened a regulai preaching placein the district of Anibare, an ideal field for pioneer work. The people here have never even heard the Gospel, as during the time the Gilbert boys were on the island, it was only at tilt; risk of their lives that they '.mild venture beyond 'heir own district. Even now we find much of the old war spirit among the people and it ia only from fear of the "man-o-war" that the heathen tribes refrain from again assuming hostilities. Nothing but the love of (iod can expel this desire for blood and revenge out of their hearts. We have Sabbath afternoon meeting every second Sabbath at Anibare, hut hope to give them a more- frequent service when we shall have more help at our disposal. Here you may see heathenism in its entire originality. We are praying about opening a sort of branch .school for smaller children there, but do -tot see our way clear about it yet. It is rather more than we can do to run three schools with our present fence of teachers. 11 will take at least another year before- we- may dare to send out any of our boys, and even then they will be insufficiently prepared. We have pleaded with Dr. Rife to give us another couple, but he has no one ready. We thus have now the main station at Oro (yvhere ,ye live) two out stations, viz: Ewa and Menen, where we have church buildings, and the preaching place at Anibare. Services are held every Sabbath at the three former and every second Sabbath at the latter station. We have a midweek pra\ er meeting at Oro every Wednesday evening, and every moonlight Thursday evening at Ewa. At all stations there is maintained a daily prayer meeting by the people themselves. Every first Thursday afternoon in the month the church members meet for special instruction and prayer. Mrs. Delaporte and Kenie conduct their women's meeting every second Thursday. May God give us a clean live Church on Nauru. The attendance at the main school is about the same as it was two months ago. while at the Ewa school, since Mrs. Delaporte is able with the help of her wheel, to get around more and to take classes in this school also, the number of scholars has risen to seventy. Quite a number of little- girls have come in lately. There is so much to keep the little ones from school, card playing, smoking and the many heathen games. Hundreds of natives on the island suffer from severe asthma and I am sure tobacco, used in their childhood, has been the cause in mam instances. Card playing is a dise-ase with these people. Only the other day we lost a little girl at the Kwa school through it. The players, young and old. stay with it day and night without intermission. Tobacco and coeoanuts are geneialK at stake. Dr. Rife writes us under date of April 6th that we can have the old Ebott press for our use. This is indeed good news. Now we must try and get sufficient type. I )r. Rife has asked us to inform him what kind of letters we need and their respec- tive percentages. I am forwarding a statement to him with this mail, authorizing him to make the purchase for us, charging it to the Nauru Mission Treas- ury. I presume that they will send the press with the next mission vessel. Thus, if the friends at home have not purchased a press yet, we take pleasure in taking back our plea, as the Lord has provided for tis in the above manner. If otherwise, i.e., if the press has been bought and shipped before this reaches you, it will he better still, as we shall then have a new and modern machine. You will be glad to hear that our twenty-four foot fishing boat is finished and was successfully launched about the first low the natives of May. It is a'beauty. wondered that we could build a boat. The first one ever built here, The whites and natives were very skeptical about our ability to perform the task, hut a change in die-ir opinion has taken place. We had very few tools, in fact we had to manufacture our own boat screws, which to the eves of a "noat-builder at home would look strange. We shall now be able to supply the mission with good fresh fish whenever we have time and desire it. I'raise Cod for it. Will it interest you to hear that the writer on our second fishing expedition hauled out a forty-eight pounder? On that vacation day we caught thirty good sized fish, which gave our boys sufficient food for several days. Ihe whole outlay for the boat ami fixings, since we have used much native material, amounted to say fifty dollars, while we could not buy its equal for $200 at Jaluit. Under date of July 12th Mr. Delaporte mentions the receipt of abundant supplies I forwarded from San Francisco, via Sydney and Jaluit of the Marshall Islands. They are now placed beyond the fear of want for many months, and express the deepest thanks to their many friends and supporters in ibis community. On the 14th of July, he writes: "We have much rain at present and the island look; nice and green again." He then continues: "After much prayer on the subject we opened our third school about a month ago. This school is situated about three miles south from the mission station and We are is called the 'Menen School.' running this school somewhat differently from the Oro and Ewa schools as we do not admit children who are more than these twelve years of age. We think that older boys and girls can easily walk to the Oro school, only three miles distant. an atJust think of it, we* opened withbetween children fifty-two tendance of the age of six and twelve years. What joy it will be to win these little ones for Christ! 1 think that we have to stop enlarging our work now, as, with the present force of teachers, we can not do more. �6 Besides the new school at Menen, Mrs. Delaporte has started a sort of kindergarten class at the main station. This class does not entail rhuch extra work as it meets during regular school hours and is shared by whatever teacher is off duty for an hour or so. I think 30 little tots are coming five times per week from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. to listen to Bible stories and other things. We thus endeavor to sow the good seed into their hearts early in life. We have arranged that William and Mrs. Delaporte teach three afternoons per week in the Ewa school, while Kenie and myself give the same time to the Menen school. From 9a. m. to 1 p. m., except Mondays, we unite at the main station. "We have now finished translating I and II John and in a few days Matthew will be completed. I am printing four copies of these translations to place one in each district. It will give the people a little food at least until we can print more cither on a mimeograph or press. I can not print more on my typewriter as I can not find time for it. "July 29th we shall, D. V., be able to baptize six more people, which will give us a church membership of forty-six. Among these six candidates is another chief and wife." At the latest date, Aug. 18th, all were well. In this letter he speaks of individual believers in whose hearts there is evidence of the grace of God. Also mentions the first celebration of a Christian marriage ceremony observed upon the island. Speaking of the temper of his Christar people he says: "The people love to contribute to the Master's work. Just think, some have to carry 166 cocoanuts two and three miles to the nearest trader and sell them there for 23 cents. Very few natives contribute less than one mark. The Gospel of Matthew, the I and II Epistles of John and seventeen selected Psalms, besides forty Old Testament S. S. lessons, and about seventy hymns are translated and revised. May God soon give us the means to place these portions of His Word in the hands of the people. THE FORWARD MOVEMENT IN JAPAN Note.—It is perhaps hardly necessary to say that in preparing this paper, the writer has quoted freely from both manuscript and written reports. It has seemed best to do so without giving the authority and credit in each instance. The question of a Twentieth Century Forward Movement in Japan was first openly discussed in April 1000. at an annual meeting of the "Evangelical Alliance of the Protestant Church of Japan," when it was voted to raise $5,000 for such' a movement. In October of that year a Conference of all the Protestant Missionaries pf Japan was held THE FRIEND in Tokyo, and they heartily endorsed the plan for such a movement; joint committees of missionaries and Japanese workers being appointed to plan and direct the work In each of the sixteen districts into which the country was by them divided. It was felt that such a movement would tend to strengthen the spirit of concord among the churches, and would emphasize before the world the essential unity of Christians, would be an object-lesson of the truth that all who by faith are united to our Lord Jesus arc indeed one Body. The Committee was to arrange for some of the most efficient and successful workers to visit each of the sixteen districts, to cooperate with the Uk.il workers. FltMB the first it was felt that success in the undertaking depended upon the spirituality and tlic cooperation of the Christian people of Japan, the laymen as well as the evangelists. Trie committee adopted as its motto, "Our by Might nor by Country for Power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord' "; and during the last months of the Old Century all through the country, the churches were planning and organizing for an Advance- Movement. Pastors, missionaries and evangelists began to increase their efforts to deepen in believers a sense of their personal responsibility tn .jive the gospel to others. Early in the New Century, special meetings began to be held all over the land. One of the missionaries wrote "De-spite the millions of unbelievers, many of whom are opposcrs, and the deadening influence* of intemperance and mi morality, active everywhere, we seem to be living in an atmosphere of prayer." Since then, most encouraging reports have come from various parts of the Empire, showing that though in some cases hopes have not been fully realized, yet God has heard prayer, and Christians have been roused and souls saved. In Tokyo, where there is a population of nearly a million and a half, and where- are many of the oldest and best pastors, the work has been very encouraging. Karly in the century preaching services began to be held every evening in sonic one of the different wards of the city; the workers meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon for prayer. These prayer-meetings increased in interest until the large church in which they were held was filled to its utmost capacity. Men. women and children were eager as never before to help carry on the work. Processions were formed to march through the streets, carrying banners and singing hymns, and scattering announcements of the preaching services. The quiet, dignified decorum of diesc processions, contrasting strongly with die turbulent saki-drinking of the Buddhist festivals, of itself attracted attention and the- impression was deepened by the fact that all clashes of society were working hand to hand. Government officials and coolies kneeling side by ride to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God heard the prayers, and His power began to be felt. At the close of each preaching service, the name and address was taken of each one who was ready to confess his faith in Christ, or wanted to put 'limsclf under Christian in miction, and about ix thousand names were thus given, and an •Itort was made to bring each one under the nfhiencc of some earnest Christian. The ininilse of the hour was probably not always lasting, but it has been estimated diat over a thou.and members have been added to the Tokyo churches up to the present lime, and the end is not vet. Some of the stories that have come to us it' remarkable eases of conversion, and of <le \otion to the work of saving souls show clear ly that the work has been God's work, not man's. A member of the nobility, connected with the Railway Bureau, and having over 5,000 workmen in his charge, as bead of the construction department, a Christian himself, became impressed with a sense of his responsibility for teaching those men their duty to love and obey God. He went among them, distributing announcements of the meetings, and tried to tell them of the love of God. But he was a poor speaker, and the men only laughed at his efforts. Nevertheless, he prayed and worked on. until, finally, a Christian brother, who had more gifts as a speaker, saw his work anel became interested lo help him, and the two soon began to have eager listeners, and a large number of the workmen have been brought to a realizing sense of the mercy of God. A policeman, becoming converted, set hiinselk to seek the conversion of the three thousand men on the city police force, and at last accounts, eleven of them had been brought to Christ by his efforts. A man was giving himself up to gambling and saki-drinking from morning till night, constantly ill-treating his wife and children. Being led to a preaching service one night the Word of God pierced his heart and he decided, right there, with God's help to give up his evil ways and lead an honest life. He bravely announced his decision before the crowd of people, confessed his sins and prayed to God for forgiveness. That evening, when he went home and told his wife what he had done she was. of course, greatly astonished, and said "If the Christian doctrine can bring a change of heart to such a man as you, it must be a good religion. I think I'll go and hear it too. The next night the husband and wife went together lo church, and continued to do so, until the wife- made up her mind to follow Christ, and the place which had been the scene of so much discord, became a happy home. One night there crept into the church the leader of a band of one hundred burglars, to which he had belonged for fifteen years, having been in prison four times. His interest was awakened, and he came again and again, until the fourth time he was brought to a decision to give himself to Christ. A young man of twenty-nine years of age who had lived a dissolute life, had resolved to kill himself, as life was no longer worth living. He had a paramour who was resolved to die with him, and he had purchased a sword and left it with her. The next night, as he was on his way to her house, expecting to see her die, and then take his own life, he came upon a crowd of people, and involuntarily stopped to see what was the matter. It was in front of a street chapel, and a speaker was telling of Christ's offer of Salvation. After a little, all interested were invited to come inside the chapel for a quiet talk. The man went in, heard the wonderful story of the Prodigal Son. recognized his own picture, and turned to his Heavenly Father for forgiveness. Many such striking scenes have attracted attention and been reported as showing that God has answered prayer and revealed His power to reach the most hardened sinner. In the spring of 1901, Mr. Sidney Gulick wrote of thirty inquirerers as the result of a recent scries of meeting in Matsuyama. A few months later he wrote that twenty of the thirty had been baptized, and now as tht result of another scries of meetings, thirty-five more had come forward as inquirers. Among the number thus reached is a man who was a drunkard. He has become very earnest in Christian work and is devoting all his energies to the establishment and maintenance of a Christian home for young girls—employes in a large silk factory. Beside giving them a comfortable home, morning and evening classes are established for the relays of day and night laborers, and many of the girls eagerly avail themselves (Continued on page 10.) �7 THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. D. WESTERVELT Since the last issue of Tiif. Fkiknd one of the most faithful temperance workers in the Islands has laid aside her work. Miss Mary Green was indefatigable in her attention to the every-day details of duty. She cared for many little things and the treasure laid up in heaven may well be envied. At the close of the funeral services in Kawaiahao church, a United States soldier said to the writer. "Miss Green was the means of my conversion. She met me on the street, spoke to me kindly, invited me to her home and told me about Jesus Christ." Many a soldier passing through Honolulu received a greeting on the sidewalk, from a plainly dressed, kindly-faced woman. Sometimes there were a few pages of reading matter, and usually an earnest word for spiritual welfare. Miss Green could never tell how many soldiers and sailors she had thus addressed. "She taught them and they learned but none the less Remained unconscious whence that lore they drew, But dreamed that of their native nobleness The lofty thoughts which she had planted, grew. The sower passing onward was not known, And all men reaoed the harvest as their own." Mrs. J. M. Whitney says that in 1885 Miss Green began to organize "Hawaiian Temperance Societies," with the result of eleven societies and over 500 pledge signers. The second year's endeavor showed a growth to nineteen societies with 1,019 members. By the close of the next year there were 32 Hawaiian Temperance Societies. Then came physical failure and the later years of more quiet toil. It is true that the enormous increase of licensed and unlicensed saloons since that time, has undone a great part of her work, but that detracts nothing from the fact that she made an earnest effort toward saving the Hawaiians. Her reward is exactly the same as if fullest success had resulted." The United States law regarding temperance instruction in the schools of the various territories needs to have public attention frequently called to it. It is a subject which will bear a great deal of agitation in the Territory of Hawaii. It s very definite and strong in both its requirements and penalties. Surely those who are interested in the education of the children of the territory should inform themselves of the opportunity legally usual branches of knowledge shall be followed by removal. In this case the failure is considered so important that removal from office is made compulsory and is plainly stated.

Let the friends gard to the nature of alcoholic liquors and narcotics, and this is to be given "in the same manner as other like required branches in said schools." Some teachers have thought they fulfilled the law if they once in a while mentioned the evil results of the habitual use of intoxicants, but this is evidently not the intention of the law. The law appears to desire to warn the children and teach them how to protect themselves. Warning is not sufficient. Notice Section 2: Sec. 2.—That it shall be the duty of the proper officers in control of any school described in the foregoing section to enforce the provisions of this act; and any such officer, school director, committee, superintendent, or teacher who shall refuse or neglect to comply with the requirements of this act, or shall neglect or fail to make proper provisions for the instruction required and in the manner specified by the first section of this act, for all pupils in each and every school under his jurisdiction, shall be removed from office, and the vacancy filled as in other cases. The duty of the Board of Education, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and his assistants, the school inspectors, and the various school agents, is made very plain in this section. The school officers are required to see that the provisions of the law are carried out in the schools under their care. Ordinarily a failure, or refusal, to teach any particular branch, is not specifically mentioned. It is an ordinary rule that neglect to give information and teach the ask the teachers how much systematic instruction is given in their schools. It does no harm to strengthen every good work any teacher feels it a duty to undertake in the school life. The three points of these three sections will not have any too much agitation in this territory—(i) "Thoroughly taught," (2) Removal from position in case of failure, (3) No certificates without an examination along this line. Teachers themselves can aid in securing the fulfillment of this law. They are usually in full sympathy with the better morals of this community, but do not know what to do. In this United States law a plain, simple path of duty is marked out. No teacher in these islands can be blamed for walking in that path, especially since a strict interpretation of the law would require removal in case of failure. After all the real truth is that the morals of the future depend upon the lessons the children learn today, and the best work school teachers and officers can do is to follow the example of Mary Green and attend 'o the everyday details of duty. As a large portion of our December edition has been disposed of on Mainland, the management of The Friend would like to have Island orders come in early. �THE FRIEND 8 L CThristean ife... The reconciliation of a man's soul with Christ is, I will not say one of the easiest, but one of the simplest things in life. Have you ever had a quarrel with your father and mother? You have, unless you have been an exceedingly good boy. Do not you recollect how you diel some wrong that you did not want your parents to know ; and how you feared that they would find it out; and how you looked to see if they knew it, after the servant had threatened to tell them, and thought they did when they did not; how rill this time you shrank from them; and how, by-and-by, they expressed a confidence in you which showed that they did not know it; and how an impulse came over you to make a clean breast of the matter, and you went to your mother and burst into tears, and told her yourself, and put your head in her lap, and cried; and how you felt better; and how, the first thing you knew, her hand was on your hair, and she said, "Well, my child, I am sorry you did wrong; but you have done right now in coming to me and telling me. 1 do not believe you will do it any more. Look up, and kiss me;" and how she put her arms about you, and drew you to her. Was it not the sweetest and best way, when you had done wrong, to go and tell your mother, and get her blessing? If you do not know, I do, how good it was, when I had done wrong, to be reconciled, so that I could go on again with a light heart, singing like a bird. Now the Lord Jesus Christ is dearer than any mother, sweeter than any parent, more tender than any lover, better than any friend. Most gracious and helpful is your God. Go to him. On your way you may stop and tell your minister or friend; but go straight to God and say, "Father, I have done wrong; take me and help me." H. W. Bccchcr. Do not tell me that confession is all a degrading thing. Do not tell me that it is all a painful thing. It is painful as long as you strive against it; it is rendered painful by many of the lacerations of expiation; but, after all, through confession of sin and renunciation, .ye come to an atmosphere in which we breathe the very breath of heaven itself. No one who has done wrong can feel so happy as he who has come out of it, and has not covered it up, but has forsaken it, and confessed it, and risen beyond it. That is the royal way. Some of the highest and most noble experiences that men have in this world arc those that they have when they have overcome a wrong, clearly, avowedly, and are ' conscious in their whole being that they stand beyond it; when they have con| fessed it to God and forsaken it; when j the}- have gained a victory over their own disposition. A victory within us is ten j thousand times more glorious than any ■ victory than can be outside of us. A man that subdues himself is better than a man that subdues empires to himself. It is glorious to be conscious ( )f a giorious power within, Stronger than the rallying forces Of a charged and marshaled sin. //. //'. Beecher. ' APMONYGTUHE EOPLE „ .«,„.. w___._.

The December FRIEND will tell about It. (Contiuurd from page G.) of the opportunity to learn to read and write their own language: learning also Christian hymns, so that in place of the obscene songs which used to be heard while they were at work, now tne "words of life and beauty" ring out unon the air. From all over the land have come similar stories of_ the transforming power of the Gospel. In Tottori, a notoriously profligate physician has become a pillar in the church, publicly and private seeking to win souls to Christ. After a series of preaching services where many have openly declared themselves to be inquirer*, it becomes very necessary for the workers to devote their time and strength largely to the work of personal instruction of Mich inquirers. Dr. Pettee writes from Okayama that feeling that the ordinary weekly Bible classes are not enough to lead on the one hundred and more new believers, a band of eighteen devoted men and women are giving time daily to the work of reading the Bible with them. The great gain to the Christian church in Japan in this opening of the Century is not teen merely in the additions to the member•hip, or even in the wonderfully transformed lives of many of the Christians. Christianityhas won the attention and respect of the thinking people of the land, and doors are opened wide for Christian work. Y. M. C. As. are being organized in Government schools and colleges as well as in distinctively Christian schools, and in many ways it is evident that public sentiment in regard to Christianity is changed. But with all this to cheer and encourage, comes the cry of distress that the great need of more well-equipped preachers and pastors is not yet met. Christian young men of talent—university graduates—are not giving themselves to the work. To them it means loss, financially and socially, and seemingly they are not ready for the sacrfice. It is too early yet, perhaps, to know just how much help has been given in this direction by the \idts of Dr. Torrey and Mr. Mott. The former. President of the Moody Institute in Chicago, reached Japan last January, and visited ten of the principal cities of Central and Southern Japan during his stay of four weeks. His work served to greatly strengthen the faith of all in the power of the Word of God, faithfully proclaimed. Mr. Mott, Secretary of the World's Student Christian Federation, was in Japan in the Autumn of 1001, in response to repeated requests from the Student Christian Union of Japan. He visited seven of the largest cities, holding meetings for young men—over sixteen hundred young men giving their names and addresses as inquirers. Mr. Mott was the first distinctively Christian speaker to be invited to speak to the students of the Tokyo university. He there addressed four hundred students on "The Influence of Christianity on the Students of All Lands. Everywhere Christian teachers and students enthusiastically co-operated in M r. Mott's work, and over one thousand students gave their names as earnest inquirers. In a Student Volunteer Conference held at Karuizawa last summer the question of how to get the needed supply of educated, earnest Christian workers was discussed, various hindrances noted, and finally, after the necessity had been urged of making direct appeal to Christian students, both individually and in groups, to enter the ministry, Dr. Hail laid upon the members of the convention the duty and privilege of prayer, the the supreme method of overcoming all obstacles. Miss Julia Gulick, who was present, and reported the Conference, wrote in conclusion, "Dear relatives and friends, all who read (or hear) this _ �THE FRIEND letter —You can help in this matter. Remoteness from Japan is not the slightest barrier to this form of service, and it seems to be the kind most needed now.

THE AUTUMN MEETING OF THE KAUAI ASSOCIATION The Kauai Association held its autumn meeting at Lihue, Oct. 8-10. It is the custom now to meet there, as Lihue is a centre, easily reached in a day from either extremity of the island. The entertainment of the pastors and delegates is kindly attended to by certain men and women of the church. Generous donations of meat are received, and whatever other expenses arc incurred are met by a common fund. The food is prepared on the ample grounds of the church, which are pleasant and shady, and the tables are spread m the old church, which is in the rear of the new one. In the absence of Mr. Lydgate, the Inst/aitc work was omitted this year. The matter of adequate pastoral support was discussed to a considerable length and he lay brethren were assured that if they were faithful in raising what they could for their ministers, their white friends would not be backward with generous aid. Rev. G. L. Kopa has accepted the judgeship of Waimea. In doing this he does not abanelon the ministry. He still retains the care of the church, although he is now only acting pastor. Rev. S. Kaili, of Hanalei, is the Republican candidate for Representative, and Rev. S. Kaauwai, of Kapaa, is the "Home Rule" candidate. In the island of Maui, Rev. E. M. Hanuna, of Hana, has been nominated on the Republican ticket; on Hawaii Rev. Mr. Desha, of Hilo, is Republican candidate for Senator, and when the government wanted a good man for the judgeship at the leper settlement, Molokai, they selected our missionary resident there, Rev. J. M. Naeole. It is to the credit of our Hawaiian ministry that they are so frequently asked to take these positions of influence. It is indicative of the fact that they are influential among their people and that they have the respect of our rulers as well. We are not among those who would willingly have our ministry secularized, \et we recognize the fact that there are times when special men, even though they be ministers, are called to represent the peorle in legislative work and we believe that Mr. Desha, if he should be elected Senator, would be a power for good. He would rebuke corruption and race hatred, as he has already in the campaign which is now being carried on. As a preacher of righteousness and fair dealing, he wall have before him, if elected, a fine opportunity in the coming legislature. The one painful incident of the meeting of the Kauai Association was the suspension of Rev. Z. M. Naahumakua from the ministry for most reprehensible conduct, of which he confessed himself guilty when charges were brought. The encouraging feature of the case is that his own brother ministers brought the plainly merited charges and sustained the judgement. Mr. L. M. Mitchell, who for the past few years has been one of our active ministers and who for two years was a missionary in the Gilbert Islands, has, at his own request, been dismissed from the ministry. Rev. J. Kanoho, late of Lihue, takes charge of the church of Koolau. U. P. E. CHURCH NEWS The Central Union Church Calendar has changed its form to a more convenient size, and has changed its name to the "Central Union Church Record," which means that four pages are devoted to suggestions for Christian work and life, to notes and items of interest to the congregation. Rev. Wm. M. Kincaid has begun an interesting series of Sunday evening sermons entitled "Is it Worth While?" Two have been delivered and greatly enjoyed, upon the subjects, "Is it Worth While to Live?" and, "Is it Worth While to Work?" 11 In company with a deacon he has made a house to house visitation throughout the town, thus from the very first coming in touch with families and individuals in a social way. On Tuesday, October 21st, the Woman's Board of Hilo held a very pleasant meeting with the new president, Mrs. Nash, in the chair, who gave a very earnest, helpful talk, followed by the reading of a paper on her travels abroad by Mrs. Dr. Hyde of Honolulu. At the close of the session a reception was tendered Mrs. Hyde as guest of the Hilo Society and president of Honolulu Board. A. R.

The first to go was Mrs. Mary Agnes Gulick, wife of Key. Theodore W. Gulick, the sixth of the Gulick brotherhood. Born and brought up in New York City, shewas early identified with religious work in that great city. After her marriage, she spent a few years in these Islands, where- she won many friends. Then eighteen of the best years of her life were spent in Japan, where she anel her husband were always helpful in every kind of < liristtan work, and her influence for good over the students in her husband's native country. There, wiiere she could be in constant communication with her two nuich-love'd sons, the last few years of her life were spent. They have been years of weakness, yet always cheerful and courageous, she has exerted a sweet Christian influence wherever she has been. The last few months Mr. and Mrs. Gulick spent with their oldest son, a physician in Orinoco, Minn., and there, after weeks of suffering she entered, on Sep- six years ago, and early became proficient in the Spanish language. His education has been in the schools of Massachusetts and he graduated in 1900 from I la.yard University. He was a man of fine character and ability, and had superior mus- ical talent ami acquirements. He had just returned from a year spent in musical study in Munich, and had come to Boston to take up work as instructor in music and Spanish. His sudden death will be a very heavy blow to his parents, V'ho are about moving with their school to Madrid. He was their last remaining son—only two, daughters, being left to them of their seven children. tember 23d, into the Home where there shall be no more pain.

VOL. LX HONOLULU, T.

Its apology for appearing so unceremoniously anion"; strangers is tin.- fact that the recognition of two somewhat notable events seems to be called for at this time. The first of these is its own sixtieth anniversary, NO. XII which occurs with this month's issue. This marks one important milestone in a longer Span of life than can he claimed by any other paper in these 1 Islands or on the Mainland west of the Rocky Mountains. It will he of interest to main of our readers to he reminded that for a long time before tin western part of the homeland ceased to he foreign territory, American influences were sturdily at work in the Hawaiian Islands, preparing them for ihe place they now occupy tinder the Stars and Stripes. In the midst of these influences Tim-: FRIEND was horn. It was founded in January of the year 1543 by Rev. Samuel (.'. Damon, D.D., in th.' interests of the many seamen who totiche 1 at these shores. Thus, although diverted front its original purpose, it has lived through practically all of the changes in social and commercial life, as well as the mutations in politics which have occurred lure since the Islands were brought into intimate illations with the rest of the world. The second event which calls for notice, and which Tin-: FRIEND chooses as the theme of its anniversary number rather than its own history, is the closing, in the Hawaiian Islands, of the work of UnAmerican Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Twenty-three years before The Friend was founded, *his Board hail begun the work of evangelization among the Hawaiian people; and although it partially withdrew from this field in 1863 it has always continued to grant a certain amount of aid. By a somewhat rcmarkahle coincidence, it will cease its gifts and withdraw from further financial responsibility about the time that THE FRIEND completes its sixtieth v>ar. In summing up the results of missionary labors here two facts deserve snecial emphasis. First, the actual numher of converts made, and, second, the thoroughness with which Christianity pervaded every hamlet and nook in the Islands, so that even today with the native population greatly diminished, a strong religious sentiment everywhere prevails. \o outwit > reads Rev. Mr. Emerson's article relating to past church membership, will deny that the records of the churches make a remarkable showing. Thai so main souls should he gathered out of a waning population is a striking testimony to the power of the (iospel. These records, however, represent only the more temporary and passing effects of Gospel effort. Its more- enduring influence is seen in our •permanent institutions. These are firmly established and their benefits are extended to all. When the people of the Orient land on these shores, they find themselves m an environment in which not only is theire material welfare secured to them, hut the hand of Christianity is stretched nil to give them the things needful for their spiritual good as well. These people have come here by thousands in liie past decade or two and brought their heathenism with them without shakhi"; the Christianity of the land in the 'cast, the contrary it goes boldly and c/>nlidentlv out to give them a new knowledge and a larger hope. This mission of Hawaii to the people who come to her shores is suggestive of the field of influence which will prohahlv open to'her in the future. An ocean cable is already on the way to connect these Islands with the rest of the world. A shortened route front Europe and the eastern coast of the American continent to Asia seems assured for the not distant future. 'I'he Hawaiian Islands are thus likely to become the centre of a teeming commercial life. The demand for the maintainance of an aggressive Christian life within their own borders is a most strenuous one, while the opportunity for making their Christianity felt on the rest if the world is beyond comprehension. Alio can tell where the influence started by the little hand of missionaries who landed here in 1820 will end? It is to a review of past conditions and nrogress in these Islands under the American Hoard, with a glance at our probable future that our special edition is devoted. A group of writers familiar with the facts will tell the story. (in �THE FRIEND 4 TheSCaonvdewrischonIsflatnhdse By Rev.

And although certain througli the agency of the American forms of missionary work were at a later Board, of The organization in 1819 by the American Board of a mission to the Sandwich Islands was an event of unique character even in that day of missionary beginnings, and awakened a profound and widespread interest among the churches. When the members of this new mission were formally organized into a church in Park Street Church, October 12, 1819, and eleven days later embarked in the brig Thaddeus, with their church edifice on hoard all framed and ready to put up on their arrival in the field, it was felt that a step of unusual significance and reach had been taken, and that the churches of America were now definitely committed to the conversion of the Islands of the I'aiitic, as they already were to the peoples of India p.nd Turkey and the Indian tribes at home. The first letters from Mr. Bingham and his associates, written after their landing at Honolulu, brought this wonderful tidings: "Kamehameha is dead ; the taboos are broken; the idols are burnt; the Moreeahs (temples) are destroyed; the priests are abolished." The Christian world was thrilled to learn that providence had thus removed the great obstacles to missionary labors even while the missionaries were on the wav, and that God was fulfilling His promise: "The isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust." Scarcely was the language reduced to written and grammatical form before the message of the missionaries began to take effect, even among the chiefs and royal family ; the first baptized convert was Keopuolani, the mother of the King. Within eight years from the landing, unexpectedly to the missionaries, a gracious revival appeared almost at the same time on three of the principal islands, and such was the interest that a single one of the missionaries had the names of 2,500 inquirers on his list. Then, during the second decade, came those sweeping revivals, in which great numbers of adults in all the islands were won to penitence and faith, and were added to the churches by the thousand, and a nation seemed to be born in a day. t oming at a time when missionary workelsewhere moved slowly and converts were few and obstacles many, this great success in these islands deepened and broadened the faith of the missionaries themselves, powerfully reinforced the missionary zeal in the churches at home, and kindled great expectations on all other mission fields. The missionaries in these islands assumed a peculiar relation of leadership �THE FRIEND Conditions in the Hawaiian Islands before 1820, and Events Leading to the Formation of the Hawaiian Mission By Mas. Elizabeth Van Cleve Hall This little group of islands was discovered in 1778 by Captain James Cook, who named them the Sandwich Islands in honor of the Earl of Sandwich. It is unnecessary to repeat here the well known story of this celebrated navigator, suffice it to say that, while it is probably true that he permitted the natives to pay him divine honors, it is quite possible that he did not as fully comprehend their attitude toward him as we do now. At all events he paid the extreme penalty for his fault, for he was killed in February 1770, at Kealakckua Bay. The people were given to tribal wars, human sacrifices, infanticide, drunkenness, licentiousness, and the various excesses common to savage nations, but they were not cannibals. They were generous, hospitable and had many amiable traits. The common people were serfs, they had no rights which a chief was bound to respect. The priests, or kahunas, were cruelly oppressive. There was a most galling tabu system with a death penalty for those who violated its laws. Yet they had their cities of refuge, like the Israelites of old, to which the tabu-breaker or man-slayer might tlee for safety. Captain Cook estimated the population 1778. When Vancouver, who had been with Cook, returned in 1792| he was shocked at the evidences of at 400,000 in depopulation, and when the missionaries arrived in 1820, the population did not exceed 150,000. ()ne of the chief reasons given for this great falling off, is the practice of infanticide; it is believed that two-thirds of the children thus perished. Many ships touched at the Islands in this interval of forty years, and brought a number of demoralizing influences. The natives generally treated the strangers well, but in 1790 two ships came, the Fair American and the Eleanor, and one of the captains, Metcalf by name, treated a chief with cruel indignity. The enraged natives murdered all the crew of the Fair American except the mate, Lsaac Davis. John Young, a sailor from the Eleanor, was captured also, and these two white men became influential advisers of Kamehameha. It is doubtless largely due to their aid that he finally conquered the whole group. They proved, on the whole, wise counsellors. In May tBIQ, Kamehameha the conqueror, died. His death was the signal for the wildest excesses. In the midst of these orgies the tabu was broken and, seeing that no dire calamity followed, the excited people se. fire to the idols, the high priest llcwahcwa, being the first to apply the torch. Now about the year 1792, a boy was born in Hawaii who was destined to have a great influence. He was of the common people, though his mother was related to the king. When he was about ten or twelve years old, his parents were killed in war; and the lad Obookiah, of ()pukahaia, was captured while trying to save his baby brother. Obookiah was taken to the home of tinman who had killed his parents, where he was kindly treated, but very unhappy. 11 ere he was discovered by an uncle, who, being a priest, succeeded in taking him from his captor and began instructing him in the temple service. A few year.s later, with the reluctant consent ot his uncle, he left Hawaii in an American ship, name unknown, commanded by Captain Brintnall, of New Haven. Then was also a boy named Hopu in the ship* company. The boys seem to have been well treated on ship board and Obookiah speaks with affection of a young Vale man, Russel Hubbard, whom he naively describes as "A friend of Christ," who taught him from a spelling book and gave him his first knowledge of the true God. Captain Brintnall took the boys to New Haven, where they found good friends. The interest they awakened led to the founding of the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall, Connecticut. Of the first twelve pupils, seven were Hawaiians. Obookiah proved to be an intelligent, faithful student and a sincerely devout Christian. His heart's desire was to carry the knowledge of Christ to his old home, and, with this end in view, he entered Andover Seminary, where he studied industriously. He made a beginning at reducing his own language to a system, and began work on a grammar, a dictionary and spelling-book. He also translated the book of (ienesis. He seemed to have been born for Ha vvaii's enlightenment, but was not destined to see it with his mortal eyes, for in 1817 he was stricken with fever and died. His twenty-six eventful years yere not lived in vain; for, though his lips did not speak to his people of Christ, his life had touched the heart of Christian America and led to the founding of the mission which, within fifty years, gave Hawaii a place among Christian nations. 5 �FRIEND THE Stations The of The HawaiianMison By Curtis J. Lyons A large wall ma)) of the Hawaiian Islands was published by the American missionaries in 1838, engraved and print ed at the Lahainaluna Seminary by Hawaiian! educated there.

These stations and was were the of to the mission fields dependent upon them are the subject of this article, and it may be remarked here that our Catholic friends upon their later arrival were not slow to occupy the same system of stations. Like the Hawaiians we will begin at the cast ]H>int of Hawaii, where is Cape Kumukahi. The Hilo station was founded in 1822, Samuel Buggies, teacher, appearing in missionary history as the first missionary stationed there. Rev. Joseph Goodrich occupied the post from 1824 to 1836, being the first reporter of the volcano, and the one who met Kapiolani at Kilauea on her renowned visit to the crater. Messrs. Dibble and Green spent brief periods there. I). B. Lyman went in 1832, and Titus Coan in 1835. These two names became permanently identified with Hilo thereafter. The field took in all of Hilo district and Puna. Mr. Coan's adventurous trips over the Hilo gulches with their raging torrents in time of rain, and to the two volcanoes were vividly described in the Missionary Herald and elsewhere. The Hilo Boarding school, under Mr. Lyman, was a prominent feature of the Hilo station. Aimer Wilcox as teacher and Dr. Wetmore as missionary physician labored at Hilo in later years. Altogether it was a most interesting station, really second only to Honolulu. The next station in order was Waiinca. whose field included Haniakua and South Kohala. Messrs. Judd, Baldwin and Rtlggles were there in its earliest days. 1820, but Rev, L. Lyons, who reached the place iii 1832, became the central tig tire, ami permanent laborer of the post. A previous article in Tin-: Friend has dcs- cribed this field. Mr. Lyons was be»t known from his work in Hawaiian hyninology and Sunday school work, and as a builder of churches for the different villages of the field, also from his perfect attainment of the Hawaiian language and the deep hold on the affections of his peopie. Kohala, i.e., N. Kohala, was diasev ere 1 from the Wainiea station and OCCU pied in 1837 by Messrs. Bailey and Bliss at N'unuhi, at about 2,000 feet elevation. The station was afterwards, 1841, re- moved to lole and thereafter occupied by Rev. L. Bond, a sturdy son of Maine, and tighter of evil in every form. He established a boys' boarding school preparatory to Hilo. was active in manual labor and assisted natives in getting land. Ixailua, whose field included the north half of the Kona District, was the first point occupied by missionaries, dating from 1820, with Asa Thurston as its head, the oldest missionary, and to the time of his death the patriarch of all. Being a populous country, and peculiarly associated with ante-missionary times of Kaniehameha I. it seemed to be connected intimately with the typical Hawaiian life, bather Thurston, Kakina, was a favorite with the people, well. and knew their language VViih him were associated first �THE FRIEND the isthmus, and Makawao were intimately connected. Armstrong was a strong central figure in the history of both till called to Kawaiahao in 1841. Wailuktt was occupied by Armstrong in 1835. He was succeeded in 1841, or thereabouts, by F. VV. Clark, who was, after a few years, like his predecessor, called to Honolulu.

Kauai was in three sections, designated b\ then central stations, Waiinea in the southwest, Koloa in the southeast, and W'aioli on the north coast.

It was a place of note as visited by (apt. took, as the location of a Russian fort, and of the rebellion of the Kauai chiefs in 1823. It is a warm locality.

It appears to have been founded by Mr. (lulick in 1835, afterward associated with Thos. I.afon, M. I). In later years Koloa was known as the charming home of Dr. James \\ Smith, father of W. < >. Smith. Waioli, on I lanalei, is a cool but rainy locality W. P. Alexander was the first occupant, in 1834, and the early recollections of the family centered there. Abner Wilcox taught a manual labor school there for years, and Edward Johnson was pastor after 1837. The necessary limits of this article have only allowed notice of the leading characters 111 the early history of each station. Due credit is most gratefully given for the information derived from the "Mis sionarv Album," published a year or two since by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. .

One of the very first cordially to embrace the Gospel was the Queen Dowager KcopuoLini, the mother of Kamehameha's three heirs, Liholiho, Kauikeaouli, and Nahienaena, who inherited from their mother a strain of "blue" blood superior to the other children of the Conqueror. Keopuolani had become devoutly receptive of the Word, while living at W'aikiki. Removing to her old home at Lahaina soon after the arrival of the first reinforcement in 1823, she urged that teachers should go with her. Messrs. Rich ards and Stewart were assigned to that station. The old queen did not long survive her removal. Before her death she exhibited most marked evidences of a lively Christian faith and love, and was baptised by Mr. Richards. She left the most strong and earnest testimony to her fellow chiefs. From that time the adhesion to Christ of most of them, and their abandonment of 'heathen living became most marked. The voting King Liholiho, while kindly toward the missionaries, remained wedded to his dissolute habits. At the same tune he publicly urged his subjects to follow the new teachers. Net his personal influence was practically adverse. It thus seemed to be a special Providence that removed him from the scene in 1824 when he embarked for England, where he soon died, having committed th-' supreme power to the able Regent Kaahunianu, aided by the sterling Christian Premier Kalaninioku. Kaakumanu was the strongest conquest made for the Gospel. A most stately and imperious personage, she inspired the greatest awe in her subjects. For nearly four years, while treating the mis- THE FRIEND sionaries with growing favor, she continued to live with her two husbands, the Tauai King, Kauniualii, and his son, Kealiiahonui, a most handsome-featured and stately prince. During the fourth year she put away the younger man, and after the death of the elder remained single. From that time on she developed a dcvoutness of piety as warm, and a zeal for Christ as anient as her previous character had been stern and unscrupulous. Especially marked was the Regent's per" sonal attachment to Mrs. Bingham, whose loving attentions had won her heart All the Regent's immense energy and authority became enlisted in the work of propagating the Gospel. She vigorously travelled to all parts of the Islands, commanding the people to accept the teachings of the "Kumus" and to assist them. The effect was great in securing an outwardly diligent attention of the people to the Word, although the missionaries often felt that it was not all sincere. That powerful support of the Gospel continued without open antagonism until the death of the great Regent in 1532. Another distinguished early friend of the Gospel was Kapiolani, the daughter of Kcaweinauhili, the former king of east Hawaii. Her home was at Kaawaloa, where the Discoverer Cook perished. She was a very noble chiefess, of stately yet attractive aspect, and of sweet and generous nature. She very early gave her whole 'heart to Christ, put away her extra husband and her drinking, adopted civilized and refined home arrangements, and threw her whole influence into the missionary work. Very notable was her journey in 1824 on foot to the crater of Kilattea, for the express purpose of defying the power of Pele, the goddess of the Volcano, whose awe rested terribly upon the minds of the Hawaiians. Descending to the "black ledge," Kapiolani refused the usual offering of berries, and instead, defiantly Hung stones into the fire-lake. One of the earliest and most devoted Christian chiefs was the chief Councillor Kahinimoku, commonly called "Kry-tnakoo,' who died early in 1827, but had long been a most devoted and judicious friend of the missionaries. Greatly in contract was the behavior of his brother Boki, the governor of ( )ahu, who was much of the time markedly adverse, allying himself to the dissolute white men who worked against the Gospel. It was a marked providence that removed Boki from the scene, by leading him to embark in 1831 upon a wild expedition to the South Pacific in search of sandal-wood. His fate was unknown. But the most hostile dement among the chiefs was gone. One of the most prominent and faithful chiefs in support of the missionaries was a widow of Kameliaineha. Kalakua, later known as 1 loapiliwahine. the mother of Kinau, and grandmother of the two kings Kanichameha [V and Kameliaineha Y. After the death of Keopuolani, Kalakua married the hitter's husband, Hoapili. The two ruled the Island of Maui, and were always zealous supporters of the work- of Mr. Richards and the other missionaries on that island. Kala kua became a most devout and consistent Christian. Many other excellent converts might be named among the early chiefs did space permit. The noble characters and generous conduct of these eminent men and women redeemed their nation from heathenism, and ensured early and rapid success for the work of the Messengers of Salvation. .The ranslation of the Bible...

To this task the missionaries set themselves. "To the Rev. 11. Bingham belongs the honor of having led the way in this work in the Sandwich Islands.

For fifteen years four missionaries had spent much "anxious and laborious toil" to put this blessing in the hards of the natives. About one-third of the entire Bible was translated by Rev. Wm.

You are to aim at nothing short of covering these islands with fruitful fields and pleasant dwellings and schools and churches, and of raising up the whole people to an elevated state of Christian civilization." �THE FRIEND 10 Again: "To obtain an adequate knowl- ley, edge of the language of the people; to make the macquainted with letters; to turn them from their barbarous courses and habits; to introduce and get into extended operation and influence among them the arts and institutions and usages of civilized life, etc." Among the pioneers first sent out was a farmer, Mr. Daniel Chamberlain, with a wdfe and five children, who expected to instruct the natives in agriculture and the rudiments of the mechanical arts, but remained only three years. At that stage of progress, there was no demand nor Opportunity for his services. PRACTICE Of THE MISSIONARIES.. The practice of the missionaries on tins subject was by force of circumstances, in advance of their theory. The Mission stations were so many centres of civilization, planted at strategitical points, like oases in the desert of barbarism. They furnished object lessons of family life, examples of the domestic virtues, and practical instruction in the mechanical arts and in the laws of health. Fortunately, most of the mission had tiion or less of Yankee resource, versatility and self-reliance. The missionary had to be an "allround-man," or "jack-of-all-trades." He had to act as physician, nurse and peacemaker for his'district. He had also to act as head-carpenter, mason and cabinetmaker—as dwelling houses and churches had to be built and furnished out of materials then existing in the forest and in the sea He generally had to introduce the use of domestic animals, as well as of carts and ploughs, and of all the implements of agriculture above the primitive "o-o," or digger. In this connection, the missionaries took pains to inculcate upon the people humanity to animals, both by oral instruction and in the weekly papers, The first roads, that were better than mere foot-paths, were generally due to their personal exertions. The old newspapers, the Kinint Hawaii, Xoiitinouii. Hide and the Hat //"watt, etc.. teenn-d with articles on agriculture, on housebuilding, hygiene and kindred subjects. The letters and rcpoits of that time constantly deplore the physical and moral evils caused by the habit of living in one roomed hovels. In their preaching many of the "fathers" were in the habit of denouncing "pataualelo," or laziness, as a deadly sin; and of quoting Paul's declaration; "He that will not work, neither let him eat." were indefatigable in disseminatseeds and cuttings of fruit trees and owers through the country districts, lanv a secluded hamlet, or remote val- Eliev are dumps of aged fig <>r orange, coffee or mango trees, originally planted at the instance of some missionary.

COT N ()ne failed, vation cotton at the experiment that was tried and was that of establishing the cultiof cotton and the manufacture of cloth. The same thing was tried same time in the Society Islands by the English missionaries, particularly on Limco. Miss Brown was sent here in 1835 to give instruction in the arts of spinning and weaving. In the year end ing lime, 1839, between 500 and 600 yards of cloth were manufactured at W'ai luku under her direction. About the same time Governor, Kuakini, alias Governor Adams, made an effort to introduce the manufacture of cloth, and built a cotton factory ;>t Kailua in [837. In 1839, four women had learned to weave under the superintendence of a foreigner, and 400 yards of plain and twilled cotton hail been manufactured. But, as might have been this branch of industry could not hold its own against foreign competition. There was no protective laritt here, nor indeed any tariff at all in those foreseen, daws. OBSTACLES TO INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS. In order to justly appreciate what the early missionaries accomplished in this department, it is necessary to considei wed the difficulties under which they labored. i. Consider the deep poverty of the missionaries on the one hand, and ol the native people and rulers on the other. I luring the first twenty years of the mission, a number of precious lives were prematurely sacrificed for lack of necessary comforts; of proper shelter, wholesome food and medical attendance. There were no surplus funds to carry on any Industrial educational experiments. schools involve a very heavy outlay. At ( Iberlin the expense of the system of mannal labor, to borrow President Fairchild's expression, proved to he "overwhelming." And. in order to keep the Hampton Institute in operation, it was necessary for General Armstrong to raise the sum of $6o.<xx) every year by personal appeals to the liberality of the good people of the Northern States. Tt was chiefly this great financial strain that broke down his health. Tt would have been a groat comfort to sonic of the "fathers," if they could have seen the realization of their ideals in the Kamehameha School. 2. By far the greatest obstacle to all industrial progress was the old system of land tenure, and the almost hopeless condition of the common people. As Judge Lee said in an address, delivered before the Hawaiian Agricultural Society in August. 1850: "Until within the past year the Hawaiian held bis land as a mere tenant at will, subject to be dispossessed at any time it might suit the will or caprice of bis chief or that of bis more oppressive luna. Of what avail was it to the common people to raise more than enough to supply the immediate wants of their subsist ence? Would the surplus belong to them, or furnish the means of future independence? Far from it. It would go to swell the stores of their despotic lords, who claimed an absolute property, and who periodically forth their hordes of luntis to scour the country and plunder the people without the shadow of right or mercy. Often these ravagers, these huul-firatrs leave the poor makaai right in all their sent nana (peasant) with little else than bis malt), dinner and bis calabash. I ibank God that these tilings are at an end, and thai the I r Kanaka may now stand on the border of his his little taro-patch, and holding his fee-simple title in his hand, bid defiance to the world." As long as individual property in land did not exist, and there was no security tor personal property, there was little motive or encouragement for industry or thrift. The system of forced labor, too. tended to produce a nation of slinks. This state of things was partially rem edied by the Constitution of IX4O. and by the passage of laws limiting the amount of taxation and of forced labor, but was not finally put an end to until the establishment of tile l.and Commission, and the abolition of the old feudal system during the closing years of Kamehameha 111, s reign. 3. Am ther great obstacle was the want of a market for the productions ol •he islands. The principal «rticle ol exwas sandal-wood, of port before which the chiefs had a monopoly, and w hieli only added to the oppressil 111 ol the people. Even this resource was soon ex- 1830 hausted. Spanish America certainly fur nished no market for Hawaiian products, although Honolulu served as an entrepot, from which foreign goods were smuggled into Mexico and California, at considerable risk. Sugar was occasionally shipped around (ape Horn. The amount of it exported did not exceed live hundred tons per annum before 1853. Dining that early period the furnishing of supplies to the whaling licet was the main resource of the islands. For many years over one hundred whalers called annually for wood, water and fresh provisions. Even in this traffic, the chiefs probably reaped the lion's share of the profits. The domestic market was weak and easily glutted. An extra crop of potatoes or corn or beans would frequently swamp it. 4. In some districts agriculture was entirely ruined by the encroachments of �11 THE FRIEND herds of cattle, chiefly owned by foreign- ers. These herds were allowed to increase without limit, until large tracts of country were completely overstocked, thousands of acres of fertile land laid waste, and the rights of the native tenants literally trampled under foot. The result was that the people in these districts became discouraged and gave Up the contest. In 185 1, fairly good cattle on Kauai were sold at two dollars a head. Boiling works were erected in several places, where cattle were "tried out" for their hides and tallow 5. ( llhcr hindrances might hi' mentioned, such as the difficulty of transportation when there were no roads except bridle-paths, and no steamers plying between the islands; the armies of caterpillars and other pests; the stubborn nature of tin' soil, which, in some places, required gangs of ten or twelve yoke 01 oxen to drag a single plow, etc., which are familiar to all old residents. . what efforts were made to supply every native with, a homestead. By Father Green's influence, over 1400 acres of land at Makawao were subdivided and granted to Kamaaiiias (or residents;, in 1847, a year before the "mahele" (or the Great Division of Lands). The map of Waialua in like manner testifies to the zeal of the resident missionary in procuring a grant of land for every native. Not far from 300,-ixx) acres were thus disposed of in addition to the kuleanas proper. The efforts of these good men were now redoubled to stimulate the natives to industry and thrift, and their hopes were raised by the opening of a new market in California, hor example, the upper part of the land in Kamaole in Kula having been found to he well adapted to the cultivation of Irish potatoes, it was surveyed up into ten-acre lots and sold to natives. Unfortunately, the boom in potatoes was short-lived, and in a few years we were importing instead of exporting them. C THE ULTURE OF WHEAT. THE DIVISION OF LANDS. At last, in 1848 and the following years, the great reform for which the missionaries had labored and prayed so long, was carried into effect, and the poor, down-trodden serf became a free-holder and a citizen. < >vcr eleven thousand kuleana awards were issued at that time. As these awards were generally small, the Government proceeded to divide up the most desirable portions of its lands into small lots, which were sold mostly to natives at nominal prices. The records of the land office ami our title maps show The culture of wheat was entered into with great enthusiasm by bather Green. He felt, with good reason, that it was a civilizing industry. He said that he was once thrilled by the though that he "was engaged in a noble business —a business in which Paul or John might engage, if they were on earth, without a single twinge of conscience." In 1851 he could look out from his front door over a hundred acres of wheat, waving in the wind, and the production of it in his district rose to 25,000 bushels a year. The same thing was tried in VYaioliimi, Kau, under Mr. Shipman's influence I line Hour mills were built at Wailuku and IstSJOlulu, but, in about ten wars, the business finally failed from California competition. THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The Royal Hawaiian Agricultural So ciety, formed in 1850. was a most useful and creditable institution, and we have nothing to show at present equal to it. P>y its discussions, its annual exhibitions and premiums, and by the introduction of improved varieties of plants and domes tic animals, it was of great service to this country. Its printed transactions even now are interesting reading. Local branch societies were formed on the different islands, and every effort made to interest the natives in its objects. No more zealous members of thai society could be found than many of the old mis sionaries. After the death of Kaniehaineha 111, from various causes, a reaction set in, ex ports declined, coffee was given up, the whaling licet fell off, and finally perished 111 the Arctic Ocean in 1871, and sugar planting advanced very slowly, with many failures, until the passage of the Reciprocity Treaty. To conclude, it is difficult, in the view of all the circumstances, to see how the American missionaries could have done more than they did to promote industry among the I lawaiians. If the result of their labors in that department fell far short of their hopes and desires, the failure must be ascribed to causes entirely beyond their control. The Great Revival of 1837-8 By This wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit was doubtless the most conspicuous of the many Divine interpositions to secure the redemption of Hawaii as a Christian nation. From the beginning of the Mission in lBao, a vast amount of diligent and successful labor had been performed, and great results accomplished. A majority of the people had been taught to read. The Xew Testament and most of the Old had been printed. Many school books had been published. Lahainaluna Seminary had been for six years in active operation for training teachers and preachers. A wide and thorough seed-sowing of the Gospel had been made. A large Rev. S.E. Bishop, D.D. proportion of the leading chiefs as well as of the more intelligent common people had been gathered into the churches. Fifteen regular stations were now occupied by white missionaries, some forty families in all. At these stations churches were organized with a total membership of 1,108, the largest church of 281 members being in Honolulu. Among these were a great number of very earnest and consistent Christians. The nation as a whole may be said to have been nominally Christian. There was no open opposition to the Gospel. The Sabbath was outwardly observed. The people assembled for worship in good numbers both at the mission homes and out-stations. Often the spiritual experiences of native Christians were deep and tender, and local revivals ited extent. would occur to a lim- et the great mass of the people were living on stupidly in their heathen grossness. Their social morals were deeply depraved and promiscuous. Superstitious practices everywhere abounded, although no public idolatry. There was always a grave danger of a recrudescence of the ancient idolatry towards which the heathen nature of the race preserved an inveterate proclivity, only held in check by the powerful authority of the large band of faithful pious chiefs, like Kalakua, Kapiolani, Kinau, Hoapili, Kuakini and many others.

Many of these are still in use. In the work of church-building, the chiefs led the way, both by use of authority and by contributions of money. But the common people eagerly co-operated, both with money, materials ami labor. They fell a peculiar pride in creating a fine meeting-house. It has always been easy to raise contributions for churchbuilding, when for nothing else.

Rev. O.P. Emerson After forty years of laborious service, when many of the missionary fathers had grown old and infirm and some had passed away, those still in the field began to face the problem of the sources of sup ply lor the continuation of their work. At then animal meeting in \Xi>\ in dis cussing the situation with Dr. Rtiftis An demon Foreign Secretary of the American Hoard, who was visiting the Islands, Iwo views were developed: one was very radical and the other somewhat conser vative, The radical view looked I'm the mimed iate ending of the depciidenl condition of the Hawaiian churches, According to it the age of paternalism had passed and that ol proper independence had come. The missionary basis of operation was to give place lo one which should be eecles iastical. No additional missionaries were to be sent by the \inerican Hoard. It was to giant further aid cmly in support of tlmse already on the ground. When new teachers should be required, ihev were to be suiighl among the people and receive support directly from llicin.

It was claimed that it was necessary for the churches to assume self-support anil il ibis were achieved, il would be no more than just thai they should have their own pastors and thai these should be iudepen dent. Il was thought ihat their Christian character warranted independence, and that if it were once granted their growth would In greatly stimulated, There was little dissent from the gen etal view of the wisdom of the formation in time of .in independent native ministry. Il was agreed that the missionary basis of operation ought finally lo be shifted to one which should he ecclesiastical. The necessity of asking the churches to as (time self support as soon as possible was fully realized, economy demanded it. In view of the needs of other and larger fields, the American Roard could not lie expected to continue indefinitely to sup ply the Hawaiian churches with mission .tries. Japan and China were beginning to open their doors. The missions already established in Asia Minor. India and South Africa required indefinite enlarge inenl. The few thousands of people in these small islands stood compared with the millions of the great continents and those who bore the serious responsibility of deciding upon the claims of their respective fields could not with good con sciences continue to devote such large the Hawaiian mission as it had hitherto required, fruitful though it had been to so remarkable a degree. The mission had become a colony. The sons and daughters of the missionaries were on the ground and the responsibility <>f continuing the work of their fathers and mothers was very properly laid on ibein. Moreover, it was impracticable t<> try to carry on the work after the old llieth ods.

Thi Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, commonly known as the Hawaiian Board, is the organ of its continuous activity and power and is also an outgrowth of the early days. The Hawaiian Missionary Society of the fathers, which was formed in 1851 for the conduct of their missions in Micronesia and the Marquesas and was active twelve years, was its predecessor and was dissolved in 1563 on the organization of the Hawaiian Hoard. This Hoard meets monthly, receives, collects and disburses inei't The Association is a deliberative body with certain judicial and executive functions.

The constituency of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, which for forte years was limited to the missionary fathers and thereafter for another forty years has been mainly Hawaiian, is undoubtedly destined, in order to meet the needs of the future, to experience a still greater change during the next forty years and to include in its representation the growing Asiatic elements, which already constitute two-thirds of our population. This change will come as fast as the barrier of language, which now prevents free intercourse, can be removed. �'Till-: FRIEND TFhe oreign Missionary Work Under the Hawaiian Evangelical Association By Rev.

Gulick communication between the Hawaiian Islands and the several stations of the Micronesia field until the close of the nineteenth century, when the last of the series of vessels bearing the name of Morning Slur was counted unseaworthy and sold in San Francisco.

Dr. (iulick wa one of the children of the mission to I la lulu. \\ Inn these three families were located in Micronesia, the record tells US that each station had one of the native 11a waiians as associate missionary. ( hie of these men, named Kaaikaula. with his wife was located with Mr. Sturgcs on I'onapc until his death in 1859, greatly honored as a useful and faithful mission ary. Tor fifty years from the installation of that mission in 1552 to the present time, the native Hawaiian churches have had their representatives in the mission work carried on in Micronesia. The fust Morning Star, a vessel of 15(1 tons built by the contributions of the Sabbath School children of the American churches, arrived in Honolulu in April, 1557. bringing Rev. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham as passengers from Boston. In her Tirst voyage to Micronesia she took them and a married Hawaiian helper to Apaiang ol the Gilbert group. 'This white winged messenger and her successors afforded a reliable means of annual was a native of the island of Maui, lie was from the island of batuhivva, and came to ask that missionaries might be sent to Ins country to teach the people about the true Cod. He desired white Protestant missionaries, but would be thankful if he could secure some native I Hawaiian teachers. 'This call sent a thrill through the native Hawaiian churches, and, Under the inspiration of the true missionary spirit, gave liberally of their means, for sending forth a native Hawaiian mission to those islands. Not only did they give of their money but two of the best men of the land. Rev. James 11. Kekela, and Rev. S.

James Ixckela carries a large gold watch on the case of which is inscribed "From the President of the United States to James Kekela." In the year [864 a trading vessel of piratical character, touched at I'tiauiau on the island of Hi vaoa of the Marquesan group. Some of the natives of the island going on board, were made prisoners and carried oil, as slaves to Hern. A petty chieftain, the father >>fa young man thus enslaved, resolved to take vengeance upon the first white man he might meet. Perhaps a year later a whale ship touched at this harbor, where was the home of tins Hawaiian missionary. The mate of the ship, a Mr. W'halon, landed with a boat's crew to purchase provisions, when the enraged father made a sudden attack upon the company, all of whom with the exception of Mr. VVhalon escaped to the boat and returned to their ship. 'The angry savage and his companions made immediate preparation for a feast of human flesh. Word of the event soon reached the ears of our missionary, Mr. Kekela, who hastened at once to the scene of the proposed feast, and to the rescue of a brother man whom he had never seen. In vain his pleadings, with the �THE ERIE NT) 18 fierce and vengeful savage for the life of this white man who had done him no wrong. This man's life was forfeited for the life of his son. Then the earnest missionary proposed to purchase the victim from his unrelenting captor. He made one offer, and then another, when, at last, the master of the morrow morning's feast said, "You give me your new six-oared whale boat and you may have the white man." "It is a bargain," said the missionary, when the thongs were removed and the captive seaman went rejoicing to the home of his benefactor. Later through the influence of another chief the angry man was content to receive a gun and some other things in place of the boat. The story of this act of mercy toward one of "Uncle Sam's web-footed sons" reached the cars of President Lincoln, hence the much prized gold watch. During this half century of missionary work there have been not less than tiiirty men who with their wives have been sent forth by the native Hawaiian churches and have labored for the salvation of the heathen and the up-building of Christian communities among the once benighted peoples of the Marquesas and Micronesia At present the Hawaiian missionary force in the field is reduced to two families in the Marquesas, and one in Micronesia. The whole number of native Hawaiians who have been called to the Gospel ministry in the past fifty years has been about one hundred and twenty, hence, as we have seen, one-fourth have been sent out as missionaries to the two fields mentioned. As a rule picked men have been commissioned as missionaries to go to these foreign fields, and the results have been most encouraging. Many of these have proved themselves to be men of Cod; lights shining in the dark places of the earth, and winning to a better life and to happiness, those who had sat in darkness, and in the region and shadow of death. Eleven of those who for longer or shorter terms have been abroad as missionaries, and who for family reasons or on account of health have been compelled to return to their native land, are now with us. Seven of these are now filling pastorates on these Hawaiian Islands. 'The experience in this their home land with these returned missionaries shows us that the resolve to devote one's self to the self-denying life which has been the lot of each one who has gone abroad, has lent strength and consecration to the whole of the later life. 'The benign reflex influences of the missionary work of the Hawaiian churches have been most beneficial.

MiH.saTwohneCS ldr' ociety.. By This unique and historical society dates back to the year 1852. At that time the islands had been largely evangelized. The families of the missionaries were rapidly growing up around them. Many of the older children had been sent to the United States for further advantages in education. The foreign community outside of the missionary circle was small, and all social and literary advantages centered in missionary families. The fathers and mothers had always addressed each other as brother and sister, and as the blood-relatives of all these families were separated by two oceans, small wonder was it, that the children reared so intimately together felt like relatives and called themselves cousins. The school at i'unahou gathered together a fine nucleus for organization. And then the incentive came! Luther Halsey Culick, M.D., the eldest son of Rev. Peter J. and Mrs. Fannie T. Gtttick, early sent to the United States for education, returned with his young wife, Mrs. Louisa Lewis Gulick— both of them full of missionary zeal and enthusiasm. With Rev. and Mrs. IL G. Snow, and Rev. and Mrs. A. A. Sturgcs, they were bound westward to commence a new mission in Polynesia, to be called the Micronesian Mission, which was to enlist also members of the native Hawaii- Miss Martha A. Chamberlain The Stay in I lonolulu of three months resulted in the formation of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, or, as more familiarly known, the "Cousins' Society." The quaint little adobe schoolhouse with its dec]) arched windows and whitewashed walls which is still standing in the rear of Kawaiahao Church, a building planned and built under the personal supervision of Mrs. Sybil M. Bingham, was the birthplace of this Society, and for many years all the anniversaries were held there. The original Preamble of the Constitution reads thus: an churches in foreign missions. We, the children of the American Protestant Mission to the Hawaiian Islands, desiring to strengthen the bond of Union which naturally exists between as, and to cultivate the missionary spirit among ourselves: also with the views of aiding in the support of the Micrniiesian Mission about to he sent forth, one of whose nieiiiliers is of our own number, do hereby organize ourselves into a Social Missionary Society, under the following Constitution and bv-Laws. This "Social Missionary Commenced with 153 Society" members, and at the close of fifty years, ninety-three ol the original members were still living. Cradually the terms of admission were extended to others not of missionary descent, but of like sympathies, and many of them teachers in our schools. By natural increase and the admission of the parents as honorary members, the roll of the Society had increased in [go? to 1,404. 'This includes both living and deceased mem- bers. Dr. Gulick labored in Micronesia for nine years and then returned with his family to Honolulu for recuperation of health. The interest of the "Cousins" in Micronesia had been increased by the entering into the same field, of Rev. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham five years later. 'The Gulicks were on the Caroline group and the Hinghams on the Gilbert, Bible translation had occupied Dr. (iulick on I'onapc, and the same extended work was done by Rev. Mr. Bingham on Apaiang. Dr. (iulick took a furlough of two years on the mainland and then returned to 1 lawaii in 1863 to assume the position of corresponding secretary of the Hawaiian Board, which was the reorganized form of an existing small foreign missionary society. The contributions of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society to foreign missions did not cease when the salary of Dr. (iulick, which had been $450 annually, was discontinued, but the same amount, and more, was sent in oilier channels as salaries of the Hawaiian missionaries of that field, and also a yearly contribution to the Mortlock missionary �THE FRIEND This was the home mission of northern Micronesia to the unevangelized islands of their own archipelago. During Dr. Gulick's absence in the United States, Mrs. (iulick gathered the nucleus of a small school for I lawaiian girls in her own family, and the two noble souls began at once to stir up the Cousins to a new work at home, by urging a boarding school for Hawaiian girls. 'Two years later, in 1865, the plan took definite shape by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society passing a resolution to invite Miss Lydia Bingham (afterwards Mrs. 'Titus Loan), then in charge of a fine boarding school in Ohio, to return to these Islands and be such a teacher here, the Society pledging her $450 salary. She accepted the call and arrived here after a voyage round Cape Horn in the second Morning Star. and through her indefatigable efforts and society. the Kawaiahao Seminary became an established institution. The Seminary was first opened in 1867 in the old buildings of which a picture is given in the illustrations and which have been succeeded by the present commodious and tasteful modern buildings. In a few years other girls' hoarding schools were established a! the following places: Makawao, east Maui; Waialua, Oahu; Koloa, Kauai, and Kohala, Hawaii. Every one of these schools have received donations from the Mission Children's Society. 'Two of these schools were later disbanded and merged into the remaining ones, which are in successful operation still. From a table prepared for the Jubilee of the Society on "Fifty Years' Pinances," 'he record shows that the Society has raised a total of $76,<xx>, the The Aggregate fine organizing power, 19 largest items of which have heen for the Micronesian Missions and the education of llawaiians and others on these Islands. This Society sent a notable representation to the Civil War, of which three fill soldiers' graves. 'The name of one, General Samuel C. Armstrong, who was the organizer of the colored troops, and who passed safely through the war, became world renowned. From his interest in colored men, afterward grew the noble Hamilton Institute, which is his fitting monument. During the past two years the Society has been gradually assuming a commemorative character to perpetuate the memory of our parents. Recently there has been issued The Hawaiian Missionary Album with photogravures of as many of the parents as could be secured. church Membership of Eighty Years By Rev. O.P. Emerson During the days of the missionary fathers of Hawaii careful statistics were kept of the membership of the twenty or more native churches which they founded. Each missionary entered the names of his converts in a book and the number was reported at the annual meeting (Ccneral Meeting) of the mission. 'These reports were preserved in printed tables, the first dating back as far as the year 1832. Each year there were columns for the year's work and others that gave the aggregate of the work from the beginning of the mission. The column which bore the heading, "Whole Number on Profession," contained the aggregate of the members received on confession of faith by each church since its founding. �20 THE FRIEND The numbers in this column yearly grew of 05,898 Hawaiian converts received in- lemg members ot churches and in regular sometimes with aston- to the churches since the founding of the standing; ten years later, in 1862, the tggregate was over 53,000, one-third of ishing rapidity, till they came to be the mission.

In style, it was unlike the first used by Benjamin Franklin. It was set up in a thatched house standing not very far from the old frame Mission house that now stands on King street opposite the Kawaiahao Seminary, but it was not put in operation until tlie afternoon of the 7th of January, 1822. At this inauguration, it is said, there were present Kalanimoku. a chief of the first rank, with his retinue, and some other chiefs with their people, Rev. Hiram Bingham, Elisha Loomis, the Mission printer, James llunnewell and Captains William Henry and Masters, all of the foreigners being Americans. Mr. Loomis set up the first lesson of a spelling 1 k, or primer, called "I'-a-pa." Kalanimoku was instructed how to work the not press and struck off the tirst impression printed in the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Loomis struck off the second impression, and Mr. llunnewell the third. The last mentioned impression was given by Mr. llunnewell to the American Board of Missions and was placed in the mission collection in Boston, It is a sheet four by six inches, having twelve lines, each line having five separate syllables of two letters. 'This certainly was the first printing done at the Hawaiian Islands, probably the first on the shores of the North Pacific Ocean. A month later Mr. Bingham received a letter from Governor Kuakini (John Adams 1 of Hawaii, who had succeeded in mastering the contents of the first printed sheet. Epistolary correspondence was soon commenced in the Hawaiian language and opportunity was given for the birth of Hawaiian literature. It was a herculean work that followed. From the statistics returned from January 1822 to March 1830 it is learned that twenty-two books, amounting to 3S7,(xx) copies and 10,287,800 pages had been added to the literature of these Islands. 'This matter was printed here, while 3,345,000 pages of Hawaiian read ing matter and school books had been printed in the United States. In 1834. on the 14th of February, the first newspaper appeared. It was printed in Hawaiian and published by the Lahainaluna Seminary, its name being works and school books. Aside from the Scriptures there have been published works on theology, in its different branches, church history, Bible text hooks and commentaries on the Bible, or parts of it. Much time and labor, too, on the temperance question, with its many phases, and on other social topics, have gone into the printed page, which has found its way among the people with beneficial results to those who had the disposition to read and reflect. Sermons and tracts by the thousands were published and had no lack of readers. Pilgrim's Progress went into print in the native language among the first of the translated books. Later, works of a secular nature began to issue from the native press and became popular. The stories of Washington. Lincoln, Grant; of Victoria, Napoleon, Napier and others of the world's distinguished men and women have Heen read by the Hawaiian in his native tongue. The "Pioneer Hoy," a story of Lincoln, was translated and published in book form for Hawaiian readers and "Robinson Crusoe has also found its readers in the Hawaiian. Of late years the tendency has been towards fictitious works and a great deal of fiction has been translated to meet the demand. Publications in English were heralded by the production of the first newspaper in that language. The Sandwich Island Gazette, which was printed at Honolulu from 1836 to 1839. The editor was S. D. Mackintosh, and the policy of the paper Tt died w as decidedly anti-missionary. for want of support in 1830. The Hawaiian Spectator, an ably edited, instructive and interesting paper, was published from 1838 to 1839. This was followed by the Mirror and Commercial Gazette, which existed for but a brief period. On June 6, 1840. the first number of the newspaper Polynesian, edited by Janus lack-son Jarvis, appeared: the paper lived for a year and a half, when the editor left Honolulu. In 1844 Mr. Tarvis returned and revived the Polynesian as the official organ of the Government, he continuing as editor until 1848, when he again left the Islands. He was succeeded as editor by Mr. C. E. Hitchcock, and after him followed as editors, Messrs. Charles Gordon Hopkins, Edwin O. Hall and, in iB6O, Abram Fornander. In 1863 the office and material of the Polynesian were leased by Mr. Fornander and the paper was continued by him as an independent journal until finally discontinued in 1864. In the hound volumes of this paper, preserved in the Honolulu Library and Reading Rooms, may be found a vast amount of information appertaining to Hawaiian history. The Friend, which now justly claims to be the oldest paper in the Pacific, was first issued in 1843 by Rev. S. C. Damon, and is a valued and valuable publication to this day. Other newspapers in Hawaiian and English, or with an admixture of each language, were published in the years from 1844 t0 1 856, and in July of the latter year, the Pacific Commercial Advertiser appeared under the editorship and control of Henry M. Whitney. This paper has been a most powerful factor in making the history of the newspaper prestige in Hawaii, as has also the Hawaiian Gazette, which first appeared as an eight-page weekly in January, 1865. In passing, perhaps mention should be made of the N'upcpa Kuokoa, which was first published in 186lby 11. M. Whitney in the native language. None of all the native prints has equaled it in its elevated tone and educating influence. Space forbids detailed statements of other papers born to Hawaiian literature between 1834 and 1002. 'The unking of many books on the history of the Hawaiian Islands is very noticeable. Events taking place here have been fraught with such intense interest to the outer world, almost from the very start that the result has been that more books have been written about Hawaii than of any other island group in the Pa- cific. The transitional stage between the old unlettered state and that of a civilized community is passed and the Hawaiian stands forth now a notable representative of the influence of American methods of civilization. 'The literature of his native land, scant as it was, has been the medium of bringing him and his surroundings into the notice of a world much larger than his own; that world is revealed to him with all its advantages, and the call is to press forward to the things that are before him. The falling away, by reason of disuse and corruption, of the native Hawaiian language will be regretted perhaps to some extent, but the induction of this people into the great possibilities presented by the more universal English language will tend to broaden and develop* the I lawaiian mind. It is for some future Hawaiian to add honor to his country's name by a worthy contribution to Hawaiian literature. �THE FRIEND 22 EducDaetviolnoH .pmTnthef awaii.. By From the very first, education has held a prominent place in the work of the American Mission to the Hawaiian Islands.

THE EARLIEST SCHOOLS IN ENGLISH. The first mission station occupied was then the residence of the King, Kamehamcha 11. who was Mr. 'Thurston's first pupil. His orders were that "none should be taught to read except those of high rank, those to whom he gave special permission, and the wives and children of white men." John li and James Kahulni were two of his favorite courtiers, whom he placed under Mr. Thurston's instruction in order that he might judge whether the new learning was going to be of any value. At Honoat Kailua, Hence the missionaries devoted their energies to the task of mastering the native language and of reducing it to writing. 'Their progress was so rapid that on the "th of January, 1822, the work of printing in the Hawaiian language was begun. The King and many of the chief! came to sec the wonderful machine, and a new impulse was given to their desin for knowledge. All the leading chiefs now applied themselves with zeal to learn the novel arts of reading and writing, and soon began to use them in their correspondence. After the departure of Liholiho to England in 1824, the movement spread rapidly under the patronage of the chiefs, who sent the most proficient scholars among their attendants to their respective lands, with orders to the tenants to attend school. The school hours were generally from three to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the pupils were called together by the blowing of a conch shell. The enthus- ESTABLISHMENT OF SELECT SCHOOLS. During the next ten years several important schools were founded, which arc Still nourishing. 'The schools at each station, however, under the immediate supervision of the missionary, might also be regarded as select scluxils. 'The schools of Honolulu, in particular, were organ- ized and superintended during the years 1836-7 by Rev. Lowell Smith. In 1831 the Lahainaluna Seminary was founded' under the charge of Rev.

Manual training has ever since formed an important oart of the course in that school. In 1836, thirty-two boys were admitted as boarding pupils, and the attendance of adults discontinued. This school still exists, and has prepared for usefulness many of the leading men in the I lawaiian churches, schools, courts and legislatures. In 1837 a Roys' Boarding School was founded at Hilo by Rev. D. B. Lyman, and is still doing a much needed work. Industrial training has always been a prominent feature of that school, which is said to have been the proto-type of the famous Hampton Institute. The ()ahu Charity School was founded in 1833 for the instruction of English- speaking children, under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone, lay members of the Mission. It has since repeatedly changed its location and its name, while it has passed through various stages, as the Honolulu 'Town School, the Fort Street School, and finally as the Honolulu High School. Its high standing at the present time is recognized not only in these islands but by the various universities on Besides the above there were a number of smaller family schools for girls, among which were the school maintained by Mrs. F. Coan at Hilo from 1838 till 1864, the school kept by Mrs. Lucia Lyons at Waimea, Hawaii, from about 1845 till 1879, the Koloa hoarding school conducted by Mrs. M. K. Smith from i-St 1 till 1871, and others. In 1865, Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Guliek moved to Waialua, Oahu, their girls' boarding school, commenced in Kau, Hawaii, which was continued under Miss Mary E. Green from 1870 till 1882. In the same year (1865) the Kawaiahao Seminary was started by Mrs. L. H. (iulick as a family school, which was afterwards built up under the care of the sisters. Lydia and Elizabeth Bingham, and has educated hundreds of Hawaiian girls. It has at present sixty-one pupils on its roll. The East Maui Female Seminary, which was founded by Mr. and Mrs. C. T>. Andrews in 1861, was carried on by Miss 11. E. Carpenter from 1870 till iSiji. and is still doing a most useful work, with 23 schools on very nearly their present basis, and administered them with great zeal and energy for thirteen years, under difficulties and hardships, of which the present generation can have but a faint con- ception. The Lahainaluna Seminary was transferred to the (lovernnicnt in 184'). Since then the use of the English language in schools has steadily advanced, until the Act of 181/) required that it should be the basis and medium of instruction in all schools, private as well as public. A thorough system of school inspection has been instituted. Periodical examinations are held for teachers, and three grades of certificates issued, which are based upon the percentage obtained by them. An excellent normal school has been established, which is preparing teachers to deal with the peculiar conditions to be encountered in these Islands. 'Their salaries are now regulated by a schedule, based upon length of service, grade of certificate, and class of school.

Lyman and Titus Loan to establish an Industrial Boarding School for boys, at Hilo, Hawaii. In less than two months after their return from Honolulu, two native thatched houses were erected at a cost of $140. Beneath the sunlight and warmth of a powerful spiritual stimulation, Hilo Boarding School came into existence, and became the life work of Father and Mother Lyman. This was at the beginning of the great Christian awakening in these Islands. In October, 1836, eight scholars were received into the school, which increased until in four years there were sixty-five pupils. Larger buildings were needed, and larger fields to cultivate. In 1840, two one and one-half story frame thatched buildings were erected with substantial wooden floors, desks, &c. for $700. In 1848, the King and Privy Council granted forty acres of land for the use of the school, below llalai Hill, which, being added to a portion of the Mission land that was set off to bather Lyman, constituted the school farm.

After the school was well started, the young men who graduated mostly found work as teachers in the public schools, and reinforced the work of the missionary fathers throughout these Islands. As the years went on, the change in every young man who had been through the course of training given in Hilo Hoarding School was so marked that you could always single him out anywhere among his people, and they were an uplifting element in the community.

The American Board of Commiauoncrs for Foreign Missions, in its begin nings, announced the policy that none but married men should be put on guard in its campaigns against heathenism in for- ( )f the many incidents connected with these sudden marriages, several may be cited as illustrations, in order to indicate their nature and the working of the policy of the American Board. Two class-mates in a noted theological seminary, at the close of their studies, offered themselves to the Hoard for mission work, and were confronted with the policy of marriage as a pre-requisite. They cast about for wives. Both had read the correspondence of a mutual friend with a young lady who had re vcalcd .1 desire to go on a mission, and each of them intended to approach her on the subject. One of them, however, while mi a visit in New England, heard of a voting woman who desired also to engage in foreign missionary work. He nut her, and a marriage took place at once for the sake of the cause. The other class mate pursued the young woman in whom both had been interested; she immediately ac cepted an offer of marriage, and the two class-mates with their brides embarked on the same ship for these Islands. An other candidate, under similar conditions, married a voting woman whose Christian name was Mercy and her surname was Partridge, lie was accustomed to say that he had "hunted for mercy but had found a partridge." Another candidate heard of :i young women with the missionary spirit, in a female seminary, and she accepted him "without sight" on his prompt offer of marriage, though in doing so he gave up a comely young woman "in sight." Another, read the letters ol a young woman who had read much about the islands of the Pacific and was willing to join the mission. le promptly acted on this information and they were at once married for the cause. Another candidate met a young woman already under engagement of marriage to a clergyman who did not have the missionary spirit. For the sake of the cause she rejected him and married the candidate. Another candidate, tinder the ruling of tile Board, casually visited a country school-house in Connecticut, the teacher in which, it was rumored, had intimated a desire to join the mission. A marriage for the caUse took place at once. The sequel to these alliances has been singularly fortunate. The wives were I not only equal to their husbands in in- tellectual power, but in a number of cases quite superior to them. According to the accepted theories of heredity, this fact will account for the unusual number of able men and women among their offspring. �27 THE FRIEND the missionary veterans who are still with us and she will number seventy-live years Twice on the 20th of this December. widowed she now lives comfortably in beautiful Hilo, which has been her home for 40 years, with her brother for a coin panion and a troop of grandchildren within calling distance.

Something out of the ordinary was going to happen. Whole families were coming to Honolulu for a stay of several weeks. The joy and anticipation experienced by the parents in the event was reflected in the hearts of the children, for family life was a unit in its joys at least.

From every mission station in the group had come the men in charge of the evangelization of these Islands; their chief object, to report to the missionary body, as a whole, the progress of their individual labors, to receive suggestions and counsel, to consider the difficulties in the field and arrange for their overcoming, to thank God together for his watchful care and help in the past, and to claim his promises for the years to follow. The mission school house, still standing in the rear of Kawaiahao church, was the scene of the daily gatherings of this body of men and women. In the hearts of scons of children who came up to this yearly General Meeting with their parents, no time in their lives holds memories half so tender or stirring. �29 THE FRIEND Under a hau tree in Father Clark's yard: "Did you go to meeting this morning, Jennie?"

'This was the tirst church in the Ha waiian islands. Almost all other relig- ious bodies in this territory found in this transplanted organization a beginning from which they have in some degree developed. Before this church reached the islands a Roman Catholic priest, a chaplain on the French discovery-ship "Uranie" baptized on August 14, ISll>, Kalanimoku, the prime minister under King Liholiho. < In the 27th of August he baptized Boki, the acting governor of ()alui, a younger brother of Kalanimoku. Eight months later Kalanimoku welcomed the Protestant missionaries and heartily cooperated with their plans, In December, 1825, he was the first to sign the covenant in accordance with which Kawaiahao church came into being. Thus within a few months both Catholic and Protestant religious life touched these Islands. After the American missionaries were established in their labors, the Catholics were the tirst religious body to enter Hawaii. The tirst mass was celebrated July 14, 1827. A small chapel was opened and congregation gathered in the early pari of 1828. Under Queen Kaahumanu and the ruling chiefs a number of Catholics were punished and the two leading priests were sent out of the country. "'The missionaries remonstrated with the chiefs against persecution for religious opinions." How ever "in the minds of the chiefs the Catholics were identified with the faction of Boki and Liliha, who were plotting the overthrow of the government." The Catholics had steady growth troin this time on. In IS4O their first permanent church building was commenced. In 1845 the first mass was celebrated within its walls. At the close of the year i<>o2, the probability is that the churches of the Catholic Mission and of the American Mission are about equal in number of buildings and adherents. It is also probable that a greater spirit of fellowship now exists between the two bodies than in any time past. Differences of opinion do little harm. 'The danger lies in antagonisms. In 1833 the crying need of special work among the white residents led to the organization of the Bethel Church. Rev. John Diehl, the first pastor, died in 1841. Rev. Samuel C.

They sent into the islands Japanese preachers of earnest consecrated spirit. One of them as he came to his work said, "I know not much—but I know to tell the story." 'The story was told so effectually that a goodly number of Japanese were converted. Rev. C. M.

This church, commencing with fifteen members, has secured one of the best sites for buildings ill the city, and now, under the charge of Rev. (i L.

It does not possess a large membership, nor does it extend its branches into the other islands. Nevertheless in Honolulu it has the reputation of being the most active in city missions, watching for and entering into the excellent opportunities for establishing missions in the suburbs of Honolulu. Its pastors have left marked impressions on the ieligious life of the city. Rev. E. S. Muckley, the present pastor, is faithfully carrying out the principles upon �34 which the church was founded.

Although the conclusion of this council of chiefs on the subject probably did not have the force of law, yet they had a powerful intlueiice during the following fourteen years, not only over public sentiment in relation to individual right in land, but in relation also and inevitably, to the status of the sovereign as affected by the growing perception of individual rights. The existing system of government was so inextricably interwoven with the system of land administration, that no radical change in the latter could take place without changing the character of the former. In fact the land system was the basis of Hawaiian feudalism and when that disappeared the feudal features of the government necessarily went with it. In 1833 Kauikeaouli, then 20 years old, assumed the throne as Kamehameha 111. and soon became deeply interested in public affairs among which land matters were the most puzzling and the most difficult. The long period of peace since the wars of Kamehameha I. together with the growing sentiment in favor of hereditary descent of landed property, had tended toward stability in land tenures.

This document is of such importance in the discussion of this subject, that I desire to make it a part of my contribution if the editors of The Friend have room for it. It is as follows: "God hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on the earth in unity and blessedness. God hath also bestowed certain rights alike on all men and all chiefs, and all people of all lands. "These are some of the rights which He has given alike to every man and every chief of correct deportment: life, limb, liberty, freedom from oppression, the earnings of his hands and the productions of his mind—not, however, to those who act in violation of the laws. "God has also established government and rule for the purpose of peace; but in making laws for the nation it is by no be assessed, nor any service or labor required of any man in a manner which is at variance with the above sentiments. "The above sentiments are hereby proclaimed for the purpose of protecting alike both the people and the chiefs of all these islands while they maintain a correct deportment; that no chief may be able to oppress any subject, but that chiefs and people may enjoy the same protection under one and the same law. "Protection is hereby secured to the persons of all the people, together with their lands, their building lots and all their property, while they conform to the laws of the kingdom, and nothing whatever shall be taken from any individual except by express provision of the laws. Whatever chief shall act perseveringly in violation of this declaration shall no longer remain a chief of the Hawaiian Islands, and the same shall be true of the governors, officers and all land agents. But if anyone who is deposed should change his course and regulate his conduct by law, it shall then he in the power of the chiefs to reinstate him in the place he occupied pievious to his being deposed." means proper to enact laws for the pro- tection of the rulers only, without also providing protection for their subjects; neither is it proper to enact laws to enrich the chiefs only, without regard to enriching their subjects also, and hereafter there shall by no means be any laws enacted which are at variance with what Central Union Church By W. L. Whitney Although Central Union Church does its existence directly to the American Board, still its connection with that organization has always been so intimate and the two have to such an extent worked hand in hand in these islands that the story of the American Board in Hawaii would not be complete without some account of that church which has been its strongest support. The history of the church dates back to the days of the Seamen's Chaplaincy. In 1833 practically the only commercial interest in these islands centered around the fleet of whalers which each season filled our harbor or floundered in the waves, lying off and on. outside the bar. Hence it is that in that year the Seamen's Friend Society sent hither the Rev. John Diell to undertake the work of the Society among the sailors and to establish a chapel in Honolulu. At his death in 18.12. the Rev. S. C. Damon succeeded him in his work and as pastor of the Bethel Church. Ten years later the growing population, wealth and influence of the town led some to believe that it was time to leave the fold of the Seamen's Friend Society and form a separate and self-supporting rhurch. and by their efforts, in ißt;2, the Second Foreign Church in Honolulu came into existence.

Hackfeld & Co.. not owe they in 1856 built a permanent house of worship at the corner of Fort and Beretania streets and the name of the organization was changed to the Fort Street Church of Honolulu. We cannot be too grateful to the kind providence that led these two churches, in 1887, to reunite. The case, we believe, is almost without precedent. Two well established churches, each in a flourishing condition, each strong in numbers and influence, each hound by ties of association and friendship to his own church, of their own free will giving up all that surrounds and makes one's own church dear above all others, for the good of the work and the advancement of the Kingdom, pledging their strength, their effort, their faith and heart to the new union church. Small wonder it is that a beginning to propitious has led along an unbroken path to the Central Union Church of today, a church of nearly a thousand members, the mightiest power for good in the land.

An Estimate of the Work in Hawaii of the Missionaries of the American Board By When the tirst American missionaries arrived at Hawaii in the spring of iSjo, they found a nation eager to know more of civilization, hut to whom its touch had so far brought only ruin and death. Intercourse with the Christian world till then had been through the frequent visits of commercial ships. 'The 1 lawaiian had learned much of the lower, but knew little of the better phases of civilization. Rum and disease had accomplished a terrible reduction in numbers. It is true that by an edict of ihe King who had just come to the throne, idolatry was abolished, but tiie darkest superstition anil the utmost depravity existed everywhere. The work of die missionaries might have been as effectual, probably more so, if they had found an absolutely primitive people, Hon. W. R. Castle without any acquaintance whatsoever with the benefits or evils of the white mart's civilization. If the missionaries had not come, or had they not possessed the intelligence and high personal character which distinguished the ntissii 111. the history of I law aii might have been written on the same page with the story of Other savage nations coining in contact with commercial civilization only. 'The avarice of the trader would have speedily pushed them to the wail, and the country, after a few years of bloodshed and debauchery, would have been seized by some European power. Instead of this, a band of energetic, intelligent and determined men. whose ultimate aim was to save the souls of the people, went to work mid, as a means to that end, proceetkd, in an extremely sensible way, to educate the nation, not only in book learning, but in the arts of civilization. The people were taught trades, tin implements of civilized agriculture and mechanics were placed in their hands, and they were shown how to use them. The effort was made to improve their manner of living so that they might remain strong and sturdy while changing from savage to civilized life. The principles of orderly government were taught. Despotic chiefs learned that every man, no matter how humble in station or poor in condition, had rights. Courts were instituted to settle peaceably questions, which, before that, had been decided by force. The pc iple learned that justice was not a thing of purchase, but �39 THE FRIEND all who had claims to land had these claims adjudicated, and received from the hoard the symbols of absolute title. ()ver eleven thousand awards were made, and for the first time in history, the humble native looked upon the little house-lot and kalo patch as his own, without fear of the chief. No greater boon could have heen given to the people, viewed from the standpoint of civilization, and this has been recognized ever since as one of the highest achievements of Christian civilization in 1 lawaii.

An instrument which is now regarded as a bill of rights or constitution, was issued in 1840. 'This was followed by the regular issue and publication of laws.

In iB6O the first trans-continental railroad was completed, and the following year saw the inauguration of a through steamer service from San Francisco to Australia, via Honolulu. Thus Hawaii was no longer remote, but had become a strategic point on a great artery of the world's commerce. Meanwhile the small colony of foreigners in the islands was developing Hawaii's natural resources.

So marked is the shortage of labor, and so disastrous its results that relief from some source is indispcnsible to the recovery of the country from its present business depression. 'The admission of a limited number of Chinese under proper restrictions would afford the most satisfactory solution of the difficulty. 'The further agricultural possibilities of the islands are receiving scientific attention from the experimental stations, and being practically explored by the small farmer and planter. It is probable that by these agencies still other products will be added to the present output of coffee, rice, honey, bananas and sisal, and large areas now untitled brought under cultiva- In 1851 the centrifugal, a drying machine indispensable the world over in the making and refining of sugar, was improved in form in an Hawaiian sugar house.

And will he be favorable no more?" "Favorable to Christian fidelity, no doubt. But will there be fidelity?" There is a better fidelity in the Church the world over, than ever before in all its history. Then why not in Hawaii net? "Because the native churches have been waning in numbers, and in zeal, it is to be feared, for a generation." It is admitted, with sorrow. And, looking that way, the future is shadowy. Hut it is not admitted that even that shadow cannot be lifted. ( Mlicr Christian lands have had days of darkness and have come out of them. Witness the United Slates one hundred years ago, with only one in ten of its population professing Christ, and with "atheism and infidelity so rampant," says the history, "that but one professing Christian could he found among all the students of Vale College." Hut our land came out of its darkness. So may Hawaii. 'There are hopeful signs. She is rid already of some of the most potent causes of the churches' degeneracy. And the demoralized generation will soon be gone. 'The coming Hawaiian will be a better man. The schools are lifting him up. He will speak in the English tongue, will read in it. and the preachers will preach in it. So he will he more intelligent. His new citizenship, too, will help to make him a manlier man. And out of this higher manliness will come more responsiveness to the work that is to be done for his spiritual uplifting. And that will he belter work than has been done through these years of the churches' decadence. There will he better educated Hawaiian pastors. ( )r, failing these, the churches will come under quite another leadership. I will not believe they are to he scattered as sheep having no shepherd. With abounding wealth given them in trust, the sons and daughters of the sainted dead whose prayer and toil redeemed the land, will not suffer these churches ;>• perish for want of the words of life. And under the better leadership, let us believe there will come a better Christian life that will set the mass of Unpeople once more toward righteousness.

Mr. Stimson, writing from Ruk, mentions the arrival of the schooner Carrie and Annie on the evening of (Ictobcr 15th, after being delayed a month by calms within a few days sail of Butaritari in the Gilbert Islands. The missionaries at Ruk had begun to be short of food and kerosene oil, and had been obliged to eke out the supply by buying from Hongkong and the traders. There had been no actual suffering however. The organization of a new church at their central station is described as follows: 'It was done very properly by a council of Congregational churches, (".illed by letters missive—a native pastor was chairman. Some of the narratives — not many of them—were interesting, and the visiting deacons did a good share of the examining. The Sunday services w ere very long, but very solemn and interesting to all our people. Forty-three were selected fur membership from fiftynine applicants." Mr. Stimson speaks with regret of the weakness of the native helpers and of his being the only man to care for all tin- work and his being without means to visit all the stations. ()f the Gilbert Island work, Mr. Walkup writes rather discouragingly. Shortage of food on one island, sickness and failure in morals among the native teachers, temptations to laxness in living being the difficulties in the way. His little schooner, the Hiram Bingham, had, also, been twice ashore, due to the breaking of her cable. The second time, it was only after some days of hard work, digging away the sand by which she had been partially buried, that the vessel was gotten afloat. She was not seriously damage 1 by these experiences, but had been much hindered by calms. Mr. Walkup in his lonely and difficult field should have the prayerful sympathy of all Christain people. • ■ TheHawai an Board With the withdrawal of the American Board from financial responsibility in these Islands, the duty falls wholly upon the Hawaiian Board of carrying forward the work which it has inherited from the former body, as well as that which has grown Up under its own initiative. Under these circumstances the relation of this Hoard to the spiritual and material welfare of the islands should be' brought to the attention of all who live or have interests here. When the missionaries of the American Board landed here in 1820, Jhey found the people in a state of barbarism. According to the records of the churches which grew out of that work, they have brought to a profession of Christianity from imong the natives alone, 65,898 persons, a number equal to nearly one half of the population when the islands were discovered. Besides this ingathering of souls, a Christian civilization has been established from which the whole population, whether professing Christianity or not, has been greatly benefitted. .Again w hen the American Board began work here the value of property was very small; Today, according to the report of the Governor to the Secretary of the Interior, the value of property in these Islands subject to ad valorem taxes, is $110,388,578. In its work here the American Board spent $1,577,956.27. This money was not expanded in business or speculation for the purpose of making more money. It was spent in laying the moral and intellectual foundations of civilization, and the hundred millions or more of property values is merely an incident or outgrowth of this work. Without the moral and intellectual foundation it never would have reached such a figure. and, if '.his foundation were to fail, the value of property would greatly deteriohas, therefore, rate. Christianity wrought out here as it does everywhere a two-fold result, in that souls have been .aved and the conditions under which life and property are safe have been established. We would not say of course, that the American Board can claim the credit for all the benefits of civilization thai we enjoy here today. Such other agencies as have wrought here should have credit for what they have done, but the American Board being the first comer and most extensive influence in the islands, has undoubtedly achieved a greater result than any other factor. Tbe Hawaiian Board now becomes the heir to the duty and opportunity of car- rying on the work begun here so long ago; and, added to this, is the work among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese which this Board has itself inaugurated. This work'expands faster than the ability of the Board to meet it. and hence is always calling for assistance that cannot be given to it. Now the continuation nf the Hawaiian work handed over by the American Board and the newer work among the races which have more recently come to these shores, is vital to the best interests of these Islands. The future welfare of all classes here will depend upon the readiness with which the needs of these peoples arc recognized and met. A healthy, vigorous effort, of the most pronounced Christian type, undertaken and persistently carried on. is imperatively demanded to meet the needs that are now before us as Well as those that are sure arise in the near future. New problems arc arising every day and new methods and increased resources arc needed to meet them. From a human point of view it would seem to he unfortunate that just when these greater responsibilities arc devolving upon it, the Hawaiian Board finds itself hampered in various ways. In the first place it is short-handed. Its working force is for the time reduced, two of its most effective men being temporarily laid aside. Also, in its councils, it suffers the lack of its president, Mr. Atherton, and a member of its finance committee, Mr Jones, who have been kept away for sometime by illness. It is also carrying a debt of about $12,000 and this is increasing from month to month. Under such circumstances one of two things is inevitables either it must find relief or a serious diminution of its work and influence must follow shortly. We have said that this is the outlook from a human point of view; but we cannot believe that it means disaster. The plans of God arc too far-reaching and his ability to touch the springs of power as latent in human wealth is too great to allow the work over which he has watched with special care to fail or be greatly weakened, Shall not one outcome of the Week of Prayer, be a renewed consecration of our means to his service. to Since the above was put in type, it is learned that a friend of the Board has cancelled its debt. THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION By a late mail, we have letters from Ml. Delapprte by way of ffongkong of dates. October 6th, Bth and loth. At the first writing Mr. Dchporte and family, now numbering four souls, were on board the S. S. Oceana in the port of Jaluit, Marshall Islands. On the Btli. they were on the steamer 200 miles eastward nf Kusaie, or Strong's Island and bound thither. < >n the 10th of October, they had arrived at Kusaie. where they planned to remain for two months "nr so, until, on the return of the steamer Oceana from Hongkong, they could embark for their home nn I'leasant Island. Under date of October Bth, Mr. Delaporte writes: "Your interesting letters of May 28th, June 27th and July Ist were handed to mc at Jaluit a few days ago. We were very glad to bear from you, and rejoice because of the continued interest our many friends at Honolulu take in our work." Regarding the object of this visit to �THE FRIEND Kusaie, Mr. Delaporte says: — "You will he wondering what we are doing on board the S. S. Oceana. We are on our way lo Kusaie to have a portion of the New Testament scriptures and a hymn-book printed. We have worked day and night during the last two months to get ready, and We can now with the help of God, when printed, place the Gospels of Matthew and John, the Kp:sties to the Galations, I and II Timothy and I, II and 111 John, in the hands of the people. We have also prepared a small hymn-book." Later on Mr. Delaporte speaks of having arranged to receive every four months, per Oceana, potatoes, onions and fruit.'He also says that we can send mail matter to him either by way of Sydney or Hongkong. The letter of October ioth was from Kusaie and says that Mr. Channon and family and Dr. Rife and family were well. Miss Wilson had gone on the Carrie and Annie to Ponape, and the return of this schooner from Ruk was expected in January. Mr. Delaporte and family hoped to be back at Nauru or Pleasant Island by' Dec. 24th. O. H. G. AMONG THE FARMER FOLK A Letter From Dk. Dobkmus Scuddeh For missionaries a summer at Kar.uizava, under the shadow of Asainayama, Japan's liveliest volcano, represents the acme of enjoyment. In some unexplainable way the air in this lofty mountain valley has acquired a tonic quality very different from anything to be found at Xikko, Hakone or any other of the noted resorts in the Empire. If not over stimulated by it, this atmosphere means rest and health for those worn out by over exertion while the association with fellow-workers of all missions and no missions wonderfully tones up the spiritual nature. As no place in Japan presented as good an opportunity for summer Study, Mrs. Scudder and I were glad to accept the invitation of my cousin Rev. Frank S. Scudder of Nagano to share their vacation home. More solid hours of work were put into the language during two months at Karuizava than during an equal amount of time anywhere else since reaching Japan. Meanwhile, in order to carry practice along with theory, a preaching service was opened at Miyoda a nearby station on the railroad where the gospel was faithfully presented on Sundays for a month and a half. Our next move was to Niigata, our former home and mission station. Here we were most cordially received by friends and fellow laborers of thirteen Many changes had been wrought in this period, some grave, others full of cheer. Christian work in this province has been beset with many discouragements but within the past year there has been a most hopeful improvement, conversions have been frequent, backsliders have returned to the faith and the church members are beginning to ■'rake up _*ctive personal work. A tour of the whole field of this station revealed harvest time almost everywhere. As Xiigata is one of the prefectures from which large numbers of laborers have gone to Hawaii, a vigorous attempt was made to meet the relatives of these emigrants. Various means were invoked to achieve success. First the authorities were asked for a list of names and adyears before. dresses, and an attempt was made to see a number of people in their homes. This was found to consume so much time that it was out of the question to cover much ground in the few days available. How- ever, the experience was one to be long remembered. The simple farmer folk were overjoyed to see some one wJio had COme from the land where the loved son, or husband, or brother had gone. One young fello.v could hardly bring himself to believe that a foreigner could takeso much interest in his brother and exclaimed "'And are you not a Japanese then?" Another, a hale old grandmother of over 75 years, seemed quite pained that her oft repeated invitation to stay and dine could not be accepted, and followed me far from her door. I can see her now, her face with its halo of whitened hair framed in the hedge through which she was peering as she waved her farewell. The second method tried was to secure the assistance of local evangelists or Christian friends, to call together the relatives of Hawaiian Japanese in some This plan convenient meeting place; proved mope successful than the first in that many could be met with little expenditure of time but only a very few centers could thus be reached and only a small proportion of the people could be gotten out in such an informal manner. When, however, the help of the local government officials was requested and tiiis request was seconded by influential letters of introduction, as was 'the case in one town, it was found that :hc people responded in large numbers, that government buildings (the only available meeting places in many localities) could be secured and that greater freedom and spontaneity characterized the gathering. A large number of these relatives came, bringing all sorts of requests and messages for their friends in Hawaii. "I am an old man," exclaimed a well-known farmer, "and can work no 5 more. Tell my son to come home." "My boy," said a broken-hearted mother, "has riot written to me in three years. I tlo not know why be never answers my letters. Please say to him that his Father is dead and my heart is sad because hehas forgotten his home. Get him to write to me." The mother of several children, whose appearance bore out her story of hardship, came with the plea, "We are My husband has pot r and need he)]). long ceased to send us money. Please find him and see if he will not do something for our support." And so it went. one touching appeal after another, all taken carefully down in my notebook. And as the hearts of these simple country folk were revealed to me, it was evident that here was a rare method opened if establishing the closest personal -relation both with these farmers in Japan and their kinsmen in Hawaii. All who attended these gatherings were likewise impressed. The result of this experience was the decision to make a systematic attempt to meet as many of the families of Japanese in Hawaii as possible. To do this the diinl method detailed above that of securing the co-operation of the local authorities was the only one with any promise of success. Recourse was therefore had at once to influential personal friends with the gratifying result that high officials in the capital have most graciously consented to co-operate, and now the great western prefectures of Hiroshima. Vamaguchi, Fukuoka and Kumamoto are to form the center of a campaign of between one and two months in which it is Imped that many hundreds of families may be reached. If this expectation be realized it will be well t<» follow the same tactics in several other localities whence Hawaii draws its supplies of Japanese laborers. The prayers of the friends of the P.oard arc asked for this undertakDorctnus Scudder. jn jr Kobe, Oct. 26, 1902. "IF I WERE A MINISTER" By a Layman. [Apropos to the discussions on the relation of the church to the masses and the influence of preaching in general, which are so common in these times, we print the following article from the Sunday School Times, by "one of the most prominent laymen in America." The writer evidently believes in going to church. —Ed.l I am not a minister, nor at all likely to become one. God has called me, I believe, to my secular pursuit, amt thereby made it as sacred as any pastorate. But if I were not a—what I am, . �6 I would rather be a preacher; and the fact that multitudes of laymen make the same admission is proof of the supreme nobility of the preacher's calling, on the principle that the second choice of all the delegates to a political convention is the fittest nominee. 1 revere the gospel ministry as the loftiest human occupation, and, if I thought that what I am about to write would be 'held derogatory to that exalted pursuit, and those that follow it, I should lay down my pen with this period. However, when that pillar fell in Westminister Abbey a year ago, and when certain considerations led London 10 fear for the foundations of St. Paul's, men were not considered wanting in reverence for their ancient monuments when they raised strict inquiry concerning the causes of such alarms, and demanded an account of those precious charges from those custodians. Indeed, 11 any one censures my remarks, it will not be the ministers themselves, but their self-appointed apologists. The eagerness of the modern clergy to receive suggestions from the laity has even become a weakness, in some cases arguing less a childlike willingness to learn than a sense of insecurity and insufficiency. I would gladly sec our ministers more sturdily independent. In telling how I would do it if I were a minister, I have not the least confidence that I should live up to my own ideals, if tint to the actual test, nor that even if 1 were able to do this, 1 should not fall short in numberless particulars not here set down. Doubtless the mysterious minister who. in the series Ol articles-complementary to this, will tell us laymen how to do it, would enter an equal caveat. But I shall be glad, none the less, or read his hints, and put them in practice wherever he does not altogether shoot over the mark of a layman's life. Doubtless he will yield me the same honest observance. Perhaps it will not be out of place to say that my calling has for years brought me into contact with an exceptionally large number both of ministers and laymen, so that my remarks may claim some basis of experience. Also, I want to say that, though I remain THE FRIEND church; they do not want a weekly review from the pulpit. To a minister, with this theological training, the urgent themes of politics, science, and literature, appeal with all the fascination of novelty. He forgets that for his intelligent hearers all the novelty has worn off while to then the fresh theme is that very theology which has become Irite and stale to him Moreover, tha: is his citadel, his stronghold. If he (lis •usscs the topic of imperialism, dozens if men in the congregation are far better informed than In:, and will yawn at his platitudes, deny Ins statements, and controvert his positions. If he builds a lermon on "Romola," or if his disburse is a veiled treatise on the nebular hypothesis, every high-school gradlate before him will resent such a resurrection of his school days. Hut if.be preaches the great doctrines of sin and salvation; if he gets his major inspiraion from the Bible, and not from Darwin, Kipling, or the Tribune; if he reaches beyond the times to the eternities,—lie will compel attention by the virility of his theme, and fascinate his hearers with its novelty. Rejecting, with David's wisdom, the clumsy armor ;>f a Saul, he will smite with his own proper weapons, and the Goliaths will ■verywhere fall. I am well aware that, of the increasing number of clergymen who, to my apprehension, preach politics, literature and science, there is no one of [hem all but would indignantly profess to be preaching pure religion. And, indeed, a religious finale is invariably appended to their sermons. But the scientific illustrations overbalance the truths illustrated. The palpable zest is for the struggle with Filipino or Boer, rather than tor the combat with that outgrown personage, Beelzebub. We stumble against the religious conclusion of the sermon with just such a shock as we experience in meeting the reference to Dr. Pulver's Purple i'ills at the end of that fascinating column in the news- ' paper. The ministers that preach thus are eager, I am sure, to be fishers of men, but 1 am afraid they are using the wrong bait. The laymen that go to anonymous at the suggestion of the church go there, in the main, hungry for Editor, and doubtless shall push an spiritual food. If 1 were a preacher, I easier pen because of this anonymity, should give it to them "straight." I yet I intend to write nothing I would should look into my heart, and, so far not stoutly sign, and 1 hereby permit as possible, into theirs. I should brood the Editor to tell who T am whenever over the sins and temptations, the hopes he chooses. , The first thing I am moved to say is that, if I were a preacher. I would not preach literature, science, or politics. I would preach religion. Laymen get enough of the newspaper outside the and fears, the worries and sorrows, the triumphs and the joys, of our common life. I should seek to draw from the supernatural world some mighty inspiration for their labors, solace for their griefs, assurance for their doubts, peace for their turmoil, and enrichment for their joys. 1 should let all the world help me preach, but only as the glass of the telescope is. permitted to focus the light of the stars. It is no guess of mine that the multitude would glad ly listen to such preaching, since it has for its model Phillips Brooks, and Spurgeon, and Moody, and McLaren, and all the other preachers, and Christ himself. In the second place, I have made up my mind that, if I were to preach, 1 should not preach the higher criticism. I have no quarrel with some of the higher critics; they are learned and godly men. I do not dispute their theories, except when they are obliged to attribute lo the writers of the Bible insincerities and dishonesties thai would shock a New York ward politician. Ministers know the absolute truth about the Scriptures, and must preach -n the light of that knowledge. To preach the higher criticism, however, is like taking a starving man ink) the kitchen, bidding him note just how a loaf of bread is compounded. Men are hungry for Bible food, and Bible food ii not a treatise on the date of Deuteronomy. If, before they mention the possibility of a second Isaiah, ministers would estimate what proportion of their audience has ever read more than two chapters of those sublime writings, they would postpone higher criticism in favor of exposition. What folly to discuss the composite character of the liooks of Samuel before a congregation, not ten of whom could give any account, beyond his boyhood, of his second greatest of the ancient Hebrews! If the higher criticism does no! undermine the faith of the higher critics, it is because in their case it is only the superstructure of an intimate acquaintance with the Bible. To preach these thorics before congregations not thus founded in Bible knowledge, is to lav granite blocks upon the quicksands. If the minister should approach higher criticism as poorly prepared as the average laymen before whom he recklessly presents his critical conclusions, those conclusions would make him as skeptical as they often make the laymen. In the third place, if T were a minister I would preach as if I meant it. We laymen yield our hearts very readily to any preacher who is possessed by his subject. Ido not mean sawing the air, nor shouting, nor those strained, impressive low tones. It makes no difference to mc —nor to most laymen— whether a preacher uses manuscript, or mere notes, or speaks out of his imnie(Continued on page 10.) �7 THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES. Edited by REV. W. D. WESTERVELT. Rev. W. H. Rice, who for the past year has been Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League in Hawaii, retired from that office the first of January, 1905. Owing to lack of sufficient funds the League decided to dispense with the services of a |iaid superintendent.. Mr. Ricehas aided both by song and stereopticon in a number of meetings, during the year. He has been especially helpful in the services held in the native churches around Honolulu. He has an excellent stt'reopticon, fitted for cither electric or acetylene gas lights, and a fine series of volcanic views, and also of the Hawaiian Islands. His plans for the future are not vet definitely settled. The Anti-Saloon League retains its office, for the present month at least at No. <>, Mclntyre Building corner of King and Fort streets. Mr. Rice will be in the room a part of the time each day to receive the payment of subscriptions due during 1902, and also to aid any persons coming for consultation. Other members of the League will take office hours from 11-12 a. nt., when it can be so arranged as to be convenient. The sale of intoxicating liquors to children is not confined to the Hawaiian Islands by any means. We have had some flagrant cases here, but it is not done with quite as bold a public statement a.s characterized tlie words of an officer of the Liquor League of Ohio at a meeting in which the interests of the saloon business were discussed. "It will appear from these facts, gentlemen, that the sucess of our business is dependent largely upon the creation of appetite for drink. Men who drink liquor, like others, will die, and if there is no new appetite created, our counters will be empty, as will be our coffers. Our children will go hungry, or we must change our business to that of some other more remunerative. "The open field for the creation of this appetite is among the boys. After men have grown and their habits are formed, they rarely ever change in this regard. It will be needful, therefore, that missionary work be done among the boys, and I make the suggestion, gentlemen, that nickels expended in treats to the boys now, will return in dollars to your tills after the appetite has been formed. Above all things, create appetite!" The foregoing paragraph appeared in The Union Signal of January 28, 1897. The mci dent therein related has been substantiated, and we desire to hold it before the public, anl especially before the fathers, until they pas; judgment upon the saloon business. The two most destructive evils in the That we have nearly 11,000 barrels of fermented liquor and over 17,000 gallons of rectified spirits produced in these Islands and reported to the United States authorities is a strong count —add to this the vast quantity of liquors of all kinds shipped in, and a river of liquid destruction can easily be recognized as pouring through these Islands. The Advertiser says, concerning the, numbers of firms paying the federal tax, "this makes one liquor dealer for every 339 and a fraction of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands." If the destruction simply meant the misery of the man who already drinks we might let it pass as an almost hopeless case, and expect the fire to die out when the material already on fire is burned tip. But the law of the saloon is a natural law to be placed in the same category as any of the laws regarding the development of evil. They never burn themselves up. They never cease developing new material. Note the fact as engrossed on the experience of these islands. It proves the law world are the social evil and drunkenness. There are few spots on the face of the earth, where these two forces side by side are not breathing out their poison. Their baleful influences never wilingly let go of their aged victims. Their octopus hands try to fasten upon the most secret desires of the young. That any excuse or encouragement can he given to them by reasonable men passes belief. They have united to destroy more homes, and waste more substance, and weaken more moral stamina, and make imbecile more brain power, than almost all other criminal influences combined. Very seldom docs any person make exReported in liquor licenses 2,) cuse concerning gambling or theft and Hiring 1902, 1896, Territorial liquor licenses.... 151 never concerning the desire to commit 'or 1902, U. S. liquor tax certificates... .455 :— murders. But these two more injurious evils arc excused times without number. Either there is an awful element of callousness in man—an ohtuseness of perception of results, standing in the way of the perfection of humanity like a precipice over which innumerable men fall, or else there is an implied blame of the Almighty. "Men have passions. We must provide means for their gratification." The charge that drunkenness and the social evil the two most crushing avalanches of pain and suffering, must be fostered and provided with channels in which to do their work easily, "because the Almighty made men so," can readily be left to the Almighty himself to meet when those who make the charge stand before Him face to face. Reason teaches that there will be an awful reckoning for the accusers of God. The thing with which we have to do is the unquestioned fact of the enormity of the pitiful results of the continued cultivation of these evils as connected with practical every day life. The, Washington correspondent of The Advertiser made tbe following report concerning firms which handle alcoholic liquors in the Hawaiian Islands: tectifiers of spirits 4 56 Vholesale liquors dealers ....; .etait liquor dealers 395 2_s .ealers in malt liquors 16 Vholesalers in malt liquors I7,'47 iallons of spirits rectified ermented liquors produced in the Isl10,912 ands, barrels : Now note the additional fact that although drunkards have died in numbers during these six years past nevertheless the saloons have gone on increasing. Again it is almost the same as calling the responsible men of our islands brainless, when we stop to point out the fact that the law of the saloon demands new material for its increased traffic. Here is where the fiendish nature of liquor selling receives its fullest development. A man is but little short of being a fiend wb< n he can deliberately make new material for drunkards. Now this liquor question faces men who arc not fanatics. It is one of the most practical business propositions, before the responsible men of the community. It is pertinent to ask these men. "What are you going to do about it?" Can you afford to see the children of Hawaii lose their possibilities of good citizenship and useful lives and in continually increasing numbers be poured into the continually enlarging hopper which feeds the saloon?" An increase from 23 saloons in 1896 to at least 400 saloons in 1902 is a frightful menace to the business prosperity of Hawaii. What are you going to do about it ? It is not playing with idle words when we say that the stories of the past ravages of the social evil in these islands, are horrible in the extreme. Yet all men know that the social evil fattens upon the victims of its twin brother drunkenness. �8 THE -FRIEND TL hCeristan ife...

I fain would bring a higher thought, a clearer purpose, a character whose essential powers are higher than mine have been. I know that 1 have felt the grace of God in my heart; but alas! it seems as though God's grace were but a.s Columbus, that touched the shore here and there, and left the vast continent within almost unexplored^—certainly unsubdued and untitled. 1 am not content when I think of the generosities and magnanimities of which my life should perpetually speak, as a band of music speaks sweet notes, stretching them far out through the air. How is it with you? Are you content with the character which you brought out of the old year, and with which you are setting forward upon the new? Is not this a time for you to review your character, and see what are its .elements, how you are shaping it, what you mean by it, and what you have obtained thus far? Is it not a time for you to look into the future? No matter how old you are, it is not too late for you to learn in the school of Christ. And it is a noble ambition with which you should begin the year—not to swell your coffers, not to have move of this world's good, but to begin the year chiefly with the ambition to be more like Christ, and to have the power of God resting upon you, and to know the will of God, and so to live that whosoever meets you shall know that you have been with Christ. Out of this spirit what blessings will flow! Oh, if you were holier, how much happier would you be! Oh, if you were holier, how would fall down from you straightway those discontents, those cares, those frets, those ill wills, and those thousand torments which so much have snared you, and so much have marred your enjoyment in the days that are past! It is because you are not good that you are not happy. For he that dwells in the secret place of the Almighty, he that lives as in the very presence of Christ, can say, "My Master hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, so that I can boldly cry, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." And trust thee to the end; Knowing thou leadest spheres onward to those Where there are neither days, nor months, nor years. //. W. Bcecher. PYOATUMHNGE EOPLE As planned by the local Union recently, Sunday evening, December 21st, witnessed the commencement of the inter-society visiting arranged to take place the third Sunday of each month. In spite of the severe storm most of those appointed a.s delegates paid a visit to the Society to which they were assigned, and reports come in that the idea meets with great favor. Too great stress cannot be laid on the good-fellowship principle which IS supposed to underlie all Christian Endeavor work, and this seems a step in the right direction. Endeavor. Christan President R. H. Trent spent a couple of weeks on Hawaii recently. The Watch Night meeting of December 31st at Central Union Church was divided in such a way that the time from 10 to 10:50 was given over to the young people of the city. Special music under the charge of Miss Florence R. Yarrow was a feature of this part of the service, as well as testimonies from the members of the societies of the Union. December 21st there was a special Christmas Praise Service at Central Union Society. A double quartette rendered two excellent selections, and a solo by Mr. Livingstone of Kamehameha added to the pleasure of those present. A special collection was taken up for the purpose of sending Christmas presents to some of the workers engaged in mission work in the city. The Society also gave a special donation of $20 from its treasury for other mission work in the Islands. The Kawaiahao Sunday School had their Christmas entertainment on the evening of Thursday, December 18th. The children did well in their exercises. Church closed their year's work just before Christmas. The sewing class sent several garments as a gift to the Kona Orphanage. The average attendance each week is 125 girls. A number of ladies help with the older girls, and four Kawaiahao Seminary girls have come every Friday and taught the little ones. The girls take great interest in the lace work. This class is taught by one of the Hawaiian girls who learned the art at Kamehameha from Miss Lucy Adams. Several pieces of lace have been sold. We hope next year to do more and better work. . REV. JOHN PINNEY ERDMAN After a service of three years and four months as Superintendent of the Palama Mission and Assistant Pastor of Central Union Church, Mr. Erdtnan leaves to accept an appointment as missionary to Central China or Japan, under the Northern Presbyterian Hoard, Mr. Erdman's attention was turned to missionary work while a student in the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago during which time he became identified with the student volunteer movement. He took up work in connection with Central Union Church pending his appointment to the foreign field. His acceptance of his present appointment is therefore but the carrying out of his original plan of life work. During his connection with the work of Central Union Church, Mr. Erdman has proved a most efficient helper. While his chief activities have heen connected with Palama Chapel, he has rendered valuble assistance to the pastor, both in the pulpit and work of the home church. On several occasions he has supplied the pulpit during the pastor's absence on his summer vacation anxl his ministrations have been greatly appreciated by the church. During the three years and four months that Mr. Erdman has had charge of Palama Chapel, several have come into the home church on confession of faith from that mission. Mr. Erdman carries with him into his new field, the best wishes of the entire congregation of Central Union Church. �THE FRIEND OUR ISLAND HOMES "Orphan hours, the year is dead, Come and sigh, come and weep! Merry hours smile instead, For the year is but asleep, See, it smiles as it is sleeping. Mocking your untimely weeping. As the wild wind stirs and sways The tree-swing cradle of a child, So the breadth of these rude days Rocks the year:—be calm and mild, Trembling hours, she will arise With new lore within her eyes." Beginnings are good—of course,—But aren't we sometimes sick and tried of new leaves—that is, the kind that is "turned over"? Many of them are dogeared from having been "turned over" so often. A better kind of new leaf is that of the trees—of our tropic trees. They are really new, though they come inconspicuously. Can we really drop all the past and begin again like the naked elms in \'ew England? Some people undo themselves answering all their letters, paying all their calls, finishing lists of errands, jobs of making or mending, breaking off habits, "doing up" everything and begin fresh on New Year's morning. Here is a Kiawe tree over our heads with half its leaves' new and half its leaves old. An imperceptible change is in progress—imperceptible save for the exquisite shading and blending of greens, the characteristic beauty of this tree. The new comes—the old goes ; sharp eyes must watch for the changes. Is there not a continuity and a peace in Nature's way, here in the tropics that suggests eternal things? (irowth is the secret of life. "As we grow in age may we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." BOYHOOD MEMORIES OF EARLY HAWAIIAN TIMES "And when the days of boyhood came, And I had grown in love with fame, ******* Words cannot tell how bright and gay The scenes of life before me lay." Few indeed the island boys who did not rejoice in horses! The very beginning was riding stick horses. A good stra-'ght stick or rod of the lama (or nnta) tree, such as were used by the Hawaiians upon the roof of a house to which to bind the thatch grass, made the best of the stick horses. Two or three boys prancing around on very spirited stick-horses were doubtless an interesting sight to the mother if to no one else. These were safe auto-mobiles. 9 But the period of .satisfaction to our lot than that of hunting hen's in riding stick-horses is short, and nests.

FOUNDERS' DAY AT THE KAMEMEHA SCHOOLS As usual, the chapel and assembly halls THE MEETING OF THE MAUI ASSOCIATION were made beautiful by leis of mountain ferns, gathered at dawn by students eager to perform any service which would further the success of the day. At ten o'clock Friday morning the students marched to the Royal Mausoleum in dignified procession, forming a square about the tomb of the Kamchamehas, tbe girls and the younger boys clad in spotless -white, the boys of the manual school in their military uniforms. The service at the Mausoleum was most impressive, with its exquisite music, the pledges of the students to be worthy their inheritance, and the scattering of flowers of the royal color, purple and yellow. At the schools, the Hawaiian flag float-, ed all the afternoon above the students gathered at their annual luau, with its reproduction of all the time-honored dishes of the old feasts.

The fact that it came at the close of an active political campaign may have had some effect on the attendance, which was unusually small. All the East Maui pastors, from Keanae to Kaupo were absent.

The man who attempts to expound to these native thinkers the teachings of today as they square will, a Christian evolutionary hypothesis, will have a hardtask, for the native mind is not scientific,it cannot understand the speculative thought of the modern schools.

We are indebted to Mrs. W. W. Haii for the selections to be found in "his issue on the page devoted to "Our Island Homes." Read them. a There is still on hand supply of the Special American Hoard number of The I'kii.mi. topics can be obtained at tlie rooms of the Hawaiian Hoard, n. die Boston Building", at jo tints each. Now is the time for temperance agitaThe Republicans now have ■ chance to show their mettle, and their tion. metal, in the Legislature. Every one should be ready with bis views on the subject. , Washington's Birthday occurs this month. This is usually a 'quiet holiday, and for this reason it i. all the more easy to catch its true spirit. Americans, as well as other people, should remember thai they honor their great men by cultivating their virtues rather than by noise and display. At the last meeting of the Hawaiian I'.oard, held on January oth, a communication was received from Mr. Athcrton asking that his resignation as president of the Board, and which had once before been presented, be accepted. As this was Sir. Alberton's express wish in order that his mind might be relieved of the feeling of responsibility involved in holding the office, the Board acted in accordance with his wish and accepted the resignation; but at the same time appointing a committee to convey to Mr. Atnerton its regret at the necessity for bis withdrawal, and lo express its appreciation of his services. The nomination of a successor was referred to the Home ('ommittee. An order for five thousand copies of the December FRIEND has been received from the office of the American Board in Boston, and the rrrcatcr part of this numbeen mailed at the Honolulu Post c.c, addressed to people in all parts of the United States, and to the missionaries of the Board in foreign countries. We Bhas believe that this presentation of the noblest side o* 1 lawaiian history thus put into the hands of intelligent and thoughtful people, will aid materially in bringing about a better understanding of these Islands and in creating an intelligent interest in them. If such should prove to he the CMC we shall feel that the labor ami expense involved in the issue of this special edition had been well repaid. The principle underlying Sabbath observance, as TheScoulariztunfnday. enunciated by the Savior to the cavilling Jews, that "the Sabbath was made for man, and not not man for the Sabbath," is one that every reasonable person approves; but the application of it in the keeping of Sunday, in the complex conditions of modern life, famishes one of the most difficult of religious problems, and hence it becomes peculiarly liable to abuse. The tendency among people who do not wish to be trammelled by any Sunday obligations, if they profess any regard for Sunday it all, is to make the principle a cover for indulgence in pleasure and the pursuit of gain. That it was never intended �o bear such a construction we can plainly see from the Savior's own example, 'lis constant practice was to attend the services of the synagogue on the Sabbath, and so far as be exerted himself otherwise, it was always for the relief >f sonic real human need, and in n manner that never conflicted in any way with die sacred character of the day. There us no instance on record in which he violated the sanctity of the Sabbath for "itber pleasure or profit or in which he gave countenance to this in others. While, therefore, it may be admitted 'hat as the conditions of life change, and people become more and more dependent Upon circumstances Uevond their own control, the forms of Sunday observance ■vill be modified in various ways, and rightlvao. Still it will be man's duty, if be follows the Savior's example, to preserve spirit of the day and pna- ! it from me unnecessary intrusion of secular af-; f airs. There seems to be a Rowing tendency, however, toward such an intrusion which Christian people cannot see withj ■out both anxiety and regret. This is s-crt mi the aimarentlv growing practice of selecting Sunday for the inauguration of larpe enterprises which attract public attention. Witness the use of Sunday that was made in the laying of our cable. Whatever may have been said in excuse of the use of the day for the initiatici of the work at San Francisco, there t.cr tainlv was no excuse for it in MonolM..'. No stress of weather made it DffUlir To lay a half-mile or a mile of cable on a lee shore, could have been done ,<n almost any other of the three hundred or more days in the year exclusive of Sundays. The cable company would ha\e honored themselves by honoring the Lord's day and refraining from work on - EDITORIAL AND GENERAL NO. 2 3 HONOLULU, T. H., FEBRUARY, 190? VOL. LXI that day. That Sunday should be chosen for tit opening of so needful and so admirable a public convenience as our electric street car system is a matter of great regret. This was done when the main line was opened, anil, if newspaper reports are true, it is the intention to use the same, day for die inauguration of the extension to Waikiki. The practice of street <ar riding it all on Sunday is still a doubtful one in the minds of some people; and. while it is admitted that it is a itiestioii mi which people may honestly lifTer, it is a difficult question for conscientious Christians to settle, as it open? ■Ip the whole question of Sunday travel md the use of all sorts of conveyances. It is. however, an entirely different question from that of choosing Sunday for 'he inauguration of a street ear system. There does not appear, on the surface at least, any good reason for so doing, or mv reason why another day would not answer all purposes. To open such an enterprise on Stindav. besides being a violation of the Fourth Command•nciit. districts the attention of the vhole community more or less from •be duties appropriate to the day. and furnishes an opportunity and a temptation to neglect those duties, to poonlc who otherwise might not do so. Occasional statements in the newspapers, incidental remarks and to some "xtcnt personal observation seems to war 'ant a belief that the practice of some large corporations in the United State, in continuing the work of the week through Sunday also, is growing upon us here. We do not make the charge, however, nor comment upon.the case in the -tbsence of reliable and clearly understood evidence, as we do not wish to be guilty of misrepresentation or do injustice to any one who might he involved. In conclusion we would simply call attention Jo the fact that the practice if Sunday desecration becomes in some distances an intrusion upon the rights of 'be individual. To say nothing of those •■ . . �4 individuals who are compelled to work on Sunday on pain of losing their places, there are other subtler forms of tl.e evil. For instance when the seller of a Sunday newspaper thnrsts the same into one's face as he is on bis way to Sunday school or church, or when he invades private premises on Sunday in pursuit of his occupation, one feels that if sonic people will desecrate Sunday ihey have no right to do so in a way that will offend the feelings or encroach upon the rights of those who try not to do so, When we remember that the laws and government, by which even those who violate Sunday in these ways arc protected, rest-upon a public sentiment and character which have been, in great degree, nurtured by the influences growing out of a conscientious observance of Sun day, the conclusion can hardly be avoided that such practices weaken the foundation of all good order and national stability, and hence must in the end lead to loss moral and material. The Future of The resignation of Mr. the Hawaiian Atherton from the presi Board dency of the I lawaiian Board, not only necessitates the selection THE FRIEND elementary stages. These, the Board with people of the land, who arc thus in touch its present methods and equipment is not and sympathy with their people, and who able to give, and unless it can rise to have such interests in the Islands as one the occasion and meet this opportunity, naturally has in the land of his birth and it must lose it, as these-young p.opie will the home of his kindred. From such go elsewhere if their needs cannot be leaders only can be expected a permanent provided for. From this point of view interest in and devotion to the highest the situation is, therefore, critical. moral and material welfare of our future .Again, while the Board has stations for population. To raise up such leaders, evangelistic work in numerous places as well as lo train lo habits of throughout the islands, among the vari- industry and lo furnish with techous peoples, the number of these stations nical knowledge, the young people could be greatly increased if the Board school as we have mentioned is greatly bad only the means and men at band to who will be obliged to earn their pen them.

We believe that the Republican Party has accomplished very great benefits during its past history, and that it has vast possibilities for good service in the fttture.

Many such become expert professional politicians, who secure great bold of the reins of power, and use them unscrupulously. But, on the whole, we regard it as a well-founded claim of this party that it has been active for the public weal, and in the main, hospitable to Reforms. Now entering upon new scope for activity in Hawaii, we are looking with much desire and considerable hope for this party to make for itself a noble record for working good and not evil for the people of these Islands, and especially for all who possess citizenship here. For those who have the voting qualifications of race and intelligence, will be the ones most influenced lor good or for evil by the political activity of the ing, as traitors to the public good. It is to be hoped that all grades of this evil crew will in Hawaii, be repelled and not tolerated. The tendency to corrupt bargaining comes most in play in municipal politics.

We sit in an obscure corner of a modest pew. and far be it from us to question the matter or manner of the occupant of the pulpit. We are conscious of having lived a week of distracting work. We feel that underneath has been all the time a peace past understanding, but the surface has been much ruffled by the storms of life. And now has come the blessed day of rest, and we gladly look up to the pulpit for the cheer which only God through His word can give. The modest pew knows its own needs. But it must not. and does not forget that there are pews and pews, and that what may be meat to one will seem but milk for babies to another, and that the man of God must he completely furnished unto every good work.

The pew may rightly ex pect that the minister shall come into the pulpit Christ filled.

Therefore, give that lo us pen pie of the pew, in all ils forms, don't he afraid, and we shall be satisfied. As to the "Manner of Preaching." You ask what it is that detracts from the acceptability of preaching? Well, it is such attempts at expression, through an imagined oratory, 88 to call attention more to Ihe Style than to the matter. Emphasis is one thing, and has its legitimate place. But few men possess the gift of genuine eloquence, and therefore they should not strain after it. The more they try for it. the more they spoil it. Ministers, as well No. 4.

The readers of THE FsUKND should bear in mind that the Territorial Legislature begins its session the middle ot February. This is very near at hand. It may be worth while to recognize "home influence," and use it in the endeavor to secure good points in the coming liquor legislation. A member of the legislature and his wife can get a rather clear idea of what they want for their own home and its immediate surroundings. It is a pretty safe rule to follow, when the decision is nlade to refuse to crowd upon other homes and other neighborhoods what they do not want for themselves. The golden rule is safe for ultimate Territorial prosperity as well as for successful neighborhood life. An excellent bill was passed by the point.

Please of the friends of Islands are agreed in asking for a fair This and straight local option law. means that a community of the size and extent agreed upon and stated in the law, shall have the powers of deciding for itself whether it wants intoxicating liquors sold within its limits or not. The decision rests upon the ballots of an ma- ! jority of the voters of the community or district. We count this proposition fair lo all the different interests involved in temperance legislation. The will of the majority settles the qucstidn of saloon or no saloon in a definite district. Another point needing action is the difficulty of securing evidence of the illi- in hotels. For some reason the judge of the police court threw aside the law as enacted, and refused to pass sentence acc(irdjng. to its provision. The idea of the act ht unquestionably good. Would it not be well for some of our lawyers to look up this matter—see what corrections need to be made, and re-enact the law, so .strengthened that it will pass judicial inspection and have some weight in the courts? Certainly the thought of employing hoys or girls in close connection with the scenes of a"har room is repugnant to every thoughtful person. Swipes should be placed on the list of illicit liquors if it is not already there. It seems as if some limitation should be placed upon the power of the Treasurer of the Territory to issue licenses. Full opportunity to consider applications for license should be allowed to the public. A clause in some bill stating that any application for license shall be postedin some public place possibly in the government building itself, at least two weeks before a license can be granted, would only be fair to that element in any community that wishes to be heard in opposition to granting such license. Dp saloons celebrate Christmas? Yes, far more abundantly than the churches. They make a special effort toward a little ornamentation and much Christmas giving. It is "Merry Christmas" at the door and "Merry Christmas" at the bar all day long in nearly 150,000 saloons of the United States. The newspapers next day recorded the Christmas gifts of the saloon. Over forty incidents of such gifts as the following lie before the writer, as given by some of the saloons this last Christmas day. John Connors, celebrating, returned home drunk, chopped one of the hands off of his son who was trying to save his mother from drunken wrath. Then again, JamesJ Tyler, of Southington, Connecticut, after celebrating in the saloon, pours oil over the bed and lb Xir—bonfire—nearly succeeded in cremating his wife as well as his home.

In Atlanta, Georgia, James Ewing killed his friend Frederick Stephenson—could remember nothing of the shooting. Twenty fatalities reported from Texas alone. Fires and death, murders and suicides, crimes and injuries innumerable. These are the Christmas gifts of the saloon to its patrons. �8 THE FRIEND iqxjn his actions, or when lie feels a sensation of dismay creeping over him when his thoughts revert to his course of life, he may be sure that the process of deterioration is well advanced. It takes a brave soul to pray, with full willingness to have the prayer answered. "Search me O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me." There is no process equal to this, how ever, to give robustness and power to character. The Holy Spirit is quick to search out and expose sin when once the heart has been laid Open without reservation for his inspection, and his presence in the soul is dullest safe-guard against all unconscious falling away from our best estate. UNCONSCIOUS DETERIORATION moral judgment in Dr. W'm. M. Taylor, a former pastor of P.roatlway Tabernacle, New York, once preached a sermon from the text, "Grey hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not," using this text as the basis of a sermon on the subject of "Unconscious Deterioration." As such, it stands as a felicitiotts example of skilful selection of a text. Such a sermon also stands as an example of that class of discussions that are always timely. There are certain facts of human nature and character that are always the same and to which the preacher must from time to time revert. The liability to insidious and unsuspected deterioration and decline in character is one of the most fundamental of these facts, for the signs of which we must be always on the watch. What are some of these signs? We may consider it a sign of such deterioration when by indulgence in doubtful courses of action our ideals of righteousness have become blurred and Wt no longer feel sure where lies the dividing line between right and wrong. From the nature of things, these can never overlap. They are always separated by a line that is clear and sharply defined. Truth is always opposed to of it. The error and two can have nqthing\in common and those who would take their stand on the side of truth must beAe\yially strenuous to avoid that which is false, and, if in any given case it is difficult to determine the dividing line between them, a person had better adopt an arbitrary one for his own guidance which shall be well over on the side of right. This is always a safe course to pursue and will at least make his moral position secure. It is also a sign of unmarked deterioration in character when we are no longer willing to accept our obligations in the largest sense, and try to limit our duties to a few perfunctory forms within the narrow circle in which we ourselves move. No man liveth unto himself. The people about us and the world at large, have claims u|x>n us, and great ones at that—claims that make heavy demands upon both our personal service and our means. God requires of each person according to his ability, and when we refuse this, and the claims of duty to the world are nop met, we are in the way of moral decline. An unwillingness to face our life's record is also a serious indication of unconscious decline in character.

George lee Hurlon THE HEART OF THE CHILD Love begets love, and those who have been most successful in winning children have been lovers of children. They have also had the nappy faculty of showing that they love them. An institution might be run on some other principle, but a home never could be. Even in institutional life the loving heart works wonders with rude girls and unmanageable boys, and some motherly soul reaches many a stray lamb and brings it to a sheltering fold. This is a day when mothers are making a close study of childhood; when questions of governmental control, education and environment all claim attention, but sometimes the foundation-stone is forgotten. Then the elegant structure of knowledge is weak and lacks support. This foundation-stone is love. It is true in the child-world that if we have all knowledge and no love it profiteth us nothing, for love never fails; the knowledge vanishes, but love abides forever. We then, who would build well, must not forget that first essential, a loving heart for the little child we want to influence. Mothers, you who want to hold your boys and girls as the years go by, begin when they arc little to enter fully into the raptures of their frolicsome times, and be children with them, to enjoy what they enjoy. As I have seen little children I am coming to feel more and more that there is need of more genuine fun in their lives. Mothers would grow younger instead of older if they could open their eves to the fact that they, too, are losing the brightness out of life by not having good, hearty laughs oftcner, and a real romp and game, pulling taffy in the winter, playing ball in the autumn, seeking wild llowers in the spring, and living outdoors in the summer. Do you remember the time when the little baby arms were nestled in yours, a little, wee, pink sort of a hall, and the following exquisite words of George MacDonald's were for you and the little ones: ******** : * ****** return. Something out of the ordinary, some- There are some ways worth mentioning by which the affections of children may be won. If your own are in question you can begin the first thing in the morning by saying in the cheeriest tones possible, "< iood-morning." You will find it pays to keep the cheery tone with which you begin the day, and whatever comes of a fretting nature that cheery tone will go far to dispel. You all know how sensitive we are to the humidity of the air about us. Don't let us make the atmosphere of our homes humid and heavy and damp. Keqi it clear and sunny, and the very little ones will be breathing it all day long; and the bigger ones will say "Good-by" with a happy smile, and will hurry home for the "something nice" you have promised. The best time has not come vet, for that comes at bedtime. A little tired boy or thing unexpected, whether it be a smile, a new dolly, a cooky with a hole in it, or a chocolate-drop, will help win the little heart. Later on the same love which prompted these lesser gifts will plan other surprises and new devotions and time un~ limited, so that each mother will be the: center of a happy household.

Such powers should be used in all gentleness, kindness and love for the souls of men. Preacher's Relations, (a) I do not think as a rule we can mix religion and politics, any more than the average man can mix water and oil. I think perhaps there are times when ministers should take a public stand for good government and good morals of the state or community, but this should be done more as for ministers that is good well on the known of at least one splendid church being ruined and wiped out of existence by trying to mix up politics with preaching from the pulpit.

What men need is bread—not stones; fish— not serpents; figs and not thistles. a good man, than as a minister, are all supposed to stand for all in morality or government, as streets as in the pulpit. 1 have ' c No. 9. "The matter of preaching." It should he the entire counsel of God, as revealed to us in his word, in the light of his Holy Spirit's influence, as affecting, purifying and strengthening the daily lives and characters of the hearers, and as being in a great degree the guiding power in respect to the- future destinies of the immortal souls placed in such a sacred relation to the preacher. To this end the preacher should set forth Christ, first as divine, and the supra-human Son of God, carrying the wreck and ruin caused by our sins—and thus our Savior. Second, as human and perfect, our teacher and example, suffering as we do, and living as we should. The world needs to be convinced of sin today as much as it did when Christ and his apostles preached repentance. Ministers should preach it. They should make plain to the humblest hearer what faith means, and why it is a vital necessity, and how it must lead to obedience and the humble and right living of a true Christian. They should emphasize the truth "Except a man be born again he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." The minister should tell men, first, where they as individuals fail in their daily lives; second, where society fails in its life; or where individual Christians fail in spiritual life; where the church fails in its duties, to the poor, to the erring, to the Sabbath, to the proper government of the country. The experiences of Christians, and the history connected with the Christian life of the world are subjects always welcome and appropriate. You say, "Unvanu lied truth or not?" I have said above, "The whole counsel of God. The preaching of Christ and his apostles seems to be the guide as to the proportion to be observed between one side of the message from God and the other. Also the method that men employ with each other. Allusions to displeasure and punishment arc in our wise dealings with men rare, but they are there all the same, and not to be ignored.

I can at least draw a picture of my ideal minister. He is called. Like Peter and John he hears tne Master's voice saying, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He qualifies himself by study to expound the Scripture! and defend the faith. When his period of preparation is past, he follows the divine leadings into such held as is "white for the harvest." He becomes the pastor of a church, and men at once love him, because, although of them, he is different from them. They arc in the mad rush for gold, for power, for prominence, for first place, lie. with gentle spirit, and loving words, and happy countenance, ministers to the sick, buries the dead, consoles the afflicted, says unto hustling men everywhere, "Peace, be still." He thinks of others first, of himself last. He seeks not this world's vain glory. His whole life reflects the hymn, "O to be nothing, nothing." He goes lo the pulpit from the closet. When he enters the pulpit men say. "Behold be prays" And there is no pretense about it. We feel more reverent, as we look at him. He sings when we sing. His hands move as the choir chants their songs, and we can see that his soul is in the worship His face is aglow with spiritual power as he rises to break the bread of life and feed it to our hungry souls. He neither precedes nor follows his sermon with worldliness, and we say as we hear his final "Amen." "Surely this is the house of God and the gate of heaven to our souls." Such a minister does not preach what he thinks men want to hear. He has no desire to tickle their cars, or to secure their applause by telling them they arc right, when he knows they are wrong. He preaches the gospel, just as Paul did. with earnestness, simplicity and power, knowing nothing among his people save Jesus Christ and him crucified. THE PIG OF CONTENTION.

If anyone knows of its whereabout! he will confer a favor l>v returning it to Mrs. Damon. A lioiind longing volume to Mr. our front cover for this month, we present the picture of the new president of the Hawaiian Hoard, lion. Henry Waterhouse, who was elected to that office at the last meeting. Mr. Waterhouse has served the Hoard for a long time as its vice-president as well as lie, therefore, on its committees. knows its objects and its needs and is able to give it much valuable aid and ( )n counsel. Mr. Waterhouse comes to the office at a critical tune, when much wisdom and thought are needed in launching the Hoard upon the career that is now opening to it. We wish him the largest success and the heartiest co-operation of all his colleagues. At the Board's last meeting Mr. W. \V> Hall was elected to the office of vice-president. Mr. Hall has also been a long-time member of the Hoard, serving for many years as its treasurer and agent of the American Board, previous to the election of Mr. Richards, who was appointed on Mr. Hall's resignation. . With this number, THE FUEND completes its first year under its present management. For the managing editor, at least, it has been a year of new experiences which on the whole have been very enjoyable. His fellow-editors and people generally who have been called upon for help, have given prompt and valuable assistance. The paper has met with a gratifying degree of success.

With the April number we hope to, change its appearance externally as well as to alter somewhat the arrangement of .the inside matter. We have learned some things from the first year's experience and hope to show improvement as time goes on. m L The indications at the present time seem to be that the question of the regulation of the liquor traffic in these Islands, will be a prominent one before the Legislature which is now in session. It is understood that the liquor-sellers have their plans arranged, while the temperance people are also getting ready for the action they intend to favor. It is perhaps impossible for either side to say anything new in the matter, and for that reason there is danger that the at tention of people and legislators alike may become engrossed in watching the tactics employed, or in discussion of the methods contended for, while the real and vital issue is lost sight of. This issue does not lie in the comparative ad-, vantage of one method of regulation over another, but in the nature of the business itself. The point that should be made clear and emphatic throughout the whole discussion is that the traffic in intoxicating drink is in its essence and effects, destructive of all good. It gives nothing of value in return for value received. Poverty, suffering, vice and crime, follow in its train. Tt works always and every where toward the demoralization of good order and character. Tt is on these grounds, therefore, bat the linuor business should be ar-"irrucd. and from this point of view all '■ffort for regulation should proceed. The aim in legislation as in agitation, should not be to please one side or the other, but to strike the most damaging blow at the evils of the business. Liquor Legislation • No. i pectable and free from the presence of saloons. Changed about, the situation would be that temperance would have .the field, and the burden of petitioning for a vote on the question would rest on those who wish to drink. Local option in this form would have decided advantages over that in which it is commonly presented. It would probably considerably increase the number of protected districts while it would also tend to relieve local option of one of the delusive features that now adheres to it. This feature betrays itself in the argument that local option is the method of fairness. It is true that it carries with it a superficial look of liberality and equity.. Hut if we stop to look beneath the surface we shall sec that this is only sophistry of the shallowest kind. Neither local option nor any other method that allows the business to exist is fair to the man who is losing his reputation, character and property through a drunken habit. It is not fair to his wife and children and friends, who suffer in consequence of his poverty and disgrace, or, perhaps from his violence: It is not fair to the virtue and innocence of youth that wither under the blasting influence of an environment of debauchery. The idea of fairness rests upon the false assumption that men who follow the liquor-selling business have the same right to shape the life of a community as those who wish to earn an honest living free from their influence, and to bring up the'r children to lives of virtue and usefulness and to see prosperity and happiness abound among their fellow men. A business that is built up on the ruins of human character and human souls can claim for itself no equality of rights. While, therefore, local option may be the best measure that can be advocated under the present circumstances, let it bt the kind that puts temperance in the field and requires those who wish to drink to petition for the option. In any case, let- not temperance people commit themselves to local option in any form that would hinder the work of temper ance agitation and temperance endeavc I from going right on in the most aggrcv ! sive way to something more effective. While our mental attitude may be such as that indicated in the forego; ng paragraph, it must be expressed in some form of effort toward restriction. Local option seems to be the form that the temperance people will attempt to carry through at this time. As a main issue, this is, perhaps, the best that can be done, but it is worth while to ask, "from whose initiative shall the question be submitted?" We have lately received what seems to us to be a valuable suggestion, to the effect that the question should be submitted to vote on the request of those who favor saloons and drinking, instead of those who arc against these things. As local option is The High Sheriff's Tn the Advertiser of February 19th, is given commonly understood, the liquor busiReport an abridgement of the ness has the field, and temperance people ask the privilege of submitting to vote report of the High Sheriff to the Attorthe question whether the community in ney-General.

The reasons for this increase of police work are not mentioned, but that such 1 condition should arise is only what might be expected, and what thoughtful people probably have expected, ever since the unprecedented expansion of liquor selling was permitted. No other condition of things was possible. Farther.on in the report the High Sheriff is quoted as saving, "I would also recommend licensing the sale of beer upon payment of a license fee of $250 for each such license. Would also recommend that the present law licensing sale of wine, beer and ale be amended by striking out clause that 'no such license shall be granted .within two miles of a place where vending of spirit nous Honors at retail is carried on.' Also strike out clause requiring licensee to stop business at 8 o'clock p. m. Time of closing should be extended to 1 1 130 p. m." It is difficult to tell whether the relation of these two extracts is logical or illogical. At first thought it strikes one as highly inconsistent to say that police work is likely to increase, and to suggest increased appropriations to carry it on, and then to recommend such an increase of the scope, both in space and - time of the forces that are most potent in Droducing disorder. On the other hand, when we take into account the increased amount of crime and disorder that is certain to follow, sooner or later, from such an extension of privilege to the sellers of the lighter intoxicants, to recommend increased appropriations for police expenses might appear as a measure of prudent foresight. Now. we do not profess to know the motives of the High Sheriff in making these recommendations, and so make no charges nor insinuations. The facts are to be deplored. The fact that such places as those recommended should exist with the consent and approval of the highest police officer in the land could not be without its effect on the police force. If they are looked upon as agencies for neutralizing the evils of the saloons which sell the stronger drinks, (and presumably this would be the High Sheriff's argument) the only logical way to treat them would be to allow them full swing, else they would fail of their object: and having full swing, it would only be a short time, if it did not begin from the start, when those who frequented them would thirst for something stronger and these saloons would become the feeders of the saloons which retail spirituous liquors, instead of drawing away from them.

While times of famine were not unknown, it is doubtful if able-bodied men or women ever perished of starvation. Hawaii was a land of well-fed, stalwart men and women, for size and agility unequalled by any race on island or continent. While improvident, the native Hawaiian was the most generous and hospitable of human beings. The stranger passing by was always hailed and bidden to come in and partake of what the house afforded, which meant a good feed of fish and poi. < )r if, in a stormy time, fish was scarce, the householder would apologetically say, we have poi but no fish.

"If you do that," be said, "the sergeant will work you forty-eight hours at a stretch, and finally break you." It didn't take me long to find out that the sergeant could keep me on the go till I dropped if it suited him. That was when I went on regular duty at the end of a month. I arrested a saloonkeeper who forgot me, but who had put up for the wardman and the inspector's man. I got a hint to leave the man alone after that, but I wanted to make him understand that I had something to say as well as the big fellows. I took him in again for violating the Sunday law- He was discharged. Soon after that I came off duty and went on reserve, I went upstairs to the dormitory to sleep, having been on patrol for sixteen hours. I had not been in bed ten minutes when the sergeant called me down to the desk, and sent me out to see about some hoys annoying householders ten blocks away. It was a fake report. When I came back he sent me out to a fire, and after that he found another special call to keep rue busy till I had to go on patrol again. There are plenty of these special calls at a busy station house, and the sergeant can always make some if he wants them. I square/1 matters by apologizing to the saloonkeeper. Before I got on the force I bad heard that policemen made a deal of money in addition to their salaries, and after I trot fairly to work I found that I was in it. In some of the nrecincts where there s plenty of "graft." the man who is violatinc the law pays the patrolman for closing his eyes, the captain for not breaking the patrojman. and the inspector for not breaking the captain. These are separate amounts. Say the patrolman gets $<; a month, the captain and * * * * in*nector would get $20 each. The most I ever made on any post was $150 a month. That was downtown in Manhattan on a beat that was about a mile and a half long. Every saloonkeeper on my post used to put tin $5 a month for me and my partner in addition to the money given to the captain's agent—the inspector had no one collecting. There were twenty-five of thes.e saloons and five gambling places, three of which gave me $io a month, while two paid $5. From the women I and my nartner. who patrolled the beat when I was off. cot a total of about $75 a month. Of course, there were many who tried to do business without paving, but they soon found themselves in a hole because we enforced the law against them. Some patrolmen have made a* high as $2so a month. Beside the presents of money which naturally make policemen feel kindly disposed toward everywhere the givers there is free liquor. It istrips a good offered to the policemen, and it many of them up. The fool law is also responsible for this, because if it wasn't a fool law it would not have to be violated, and then the liquor dealers would not have to make themselves solid with us. little After a man has been on the force a "putare while he knows all the people who ting up." and grows to be very friendly with beat them.

D WESTERVELT The saloon is not a modem institution and its character has not changed. I he table on which the purchased wine was drunk was also the table over which the dice were shaken. The drunkard murdered bis friends in drunken brawls, brutally beat bis wife and impoverished bis children, two or three thousand years ago just as be does today. Apparently there was not so much opposition to saloons then as at the present time. Nor were there very many legal restrictions. Evidently the world is growing better, as far as the place held by saloons in the eye of the public is concerned. Just bow much the Hawaiians as a whole were made drunkards in the days of Kamehameba 1., 1 do not know. Certainly the drunken whites taught the method of rude distillation through a gun barrel. Quantities of nun were shipped in and the King himself was often the worse for liquor, until be society made himself into a temperance and decided that be. rather than rum, should rule. In the days of Kamehameba 111., the Hawaiian! were called a nation of drunkards and the King uttered bis temperance proverb worthy to be placed beside the national motto which adorns Hawaiian silver coins. It was during contemplation of civic problems that he said "Debt is a moth and rum a poison god." Then for a long time the use of intoxicants was checked. A resident of the islands told me how his brother was arrested and fined once for furnishing a bottle of liquor to one of the young princes. I think it is true that the last great impetus to drunkenness in these islands was by given in the days of Kalakaua, and be absoThe King himself. It may not lutely true that the present increase ot saloons has increased the amount of drunkenness. It may be that the drunkenness was here and that the licensed saloons are simply the legal recognition of the fact that there are many drunkards in Hawaii. Nevertheless we must acknowledge that annexation has brought a deluge of saloons. The present condition of the liquor question in these islands is bad enough with a prospect of being much worse in the near future. Already the saloon interests are looking up available sites in residence districts on which they confidently- expect the coming legislature to allow them to plant saloons. The liquor interests are even now acting as if they were certain of the position which will be taken by a majority of the mem- bers of the Legislature. There is not a hint so far as I know, in business circles of removing a single saloon from the present down town limits. The plan is rather to locate many new saloons in the outskirts of the city and throughout the residence and country districts. During 1902, there were taxed by the United States lnter-revenue officials; in the Hawaiian Islands 455 places where intoxicating liquors were sold. This is an increase in six years of from 23 to about 455 recorded saloons. Probably there are few stores where liquor is sold unlawfully, as far as the territory is concerned, which have not come under the eve of the officials of Uncle Sam. The method of procedure is simple and yet effective,e.g. blank and Co. are large liquor dealers. They ship to all parts of the islands all kinds of intoxicants including that distinctive preparation called "Sand paper gin." The internal revenue officers say to Blank and Co., "Let us see your shipping lists." Blank and Co. are learning that they cannot play with United States officials, so the books are opened ; the revenue officers make -1 list of the small stores on Kauai or Hawaii, in which be finds something of interest. He makes a tour of Kauai and collects revenue all along the way. In a little while nearly 500 tax certificates are issued, certifying that these stores have paid Uncle Sam's charges, and yet a new field of activity probably awaits the revenue officers. This comes on good Japanese authority. On the plantations all over the islands, there are among the Japanese, many small saloons. They are conducted as follows, so says my Japanese informPerhaps'twenty or twenty-five ant. Japanese form a club, and hire some one to cook for it. That one keeps on hand a store of canned and bottled goods, and also a few bottles of beer and cases of take and sometimes something stronger. ( )ne of the"lvii" comes in to the common room with a friend or two. They call for coffee and then take or beer paving the cook his or her price for the same—and thus, as my Japanese friend , — expressed it, "There follow much gambling and many vices and crimes." Again and again have I asked natives to show me that "maikai" "good" of the saloon business. The invariable answer is, "There is no maikai." except the "oluolu o ke kino," "The pleasure or lust of the flesh." We face the contined enormous increase of licensed destructive business. What is the other side? The working out of natural laws is always encouraging. Productive business has increased apparently in far greater ratio than the use of intoxicants. Cultivated land chokes out weeds. Education along physiological lines is doing great good. Productive business is fighting shy of managers and responsible workmen who are addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. A strong and true morality, learned only by those who sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ, is having a mighty hold on the desires and passions. There is no more powerful check on the use of intoxicants than an earnest Christian life. Hut involved in Christianity are the humanitarian methods to be used in checking, as far as possible, the evils whkh the Arabs say are a drove of black camels kneeling at the doors of their tents. The W. C. T. U. has held the fort alone for a number of years. Tt is a wonder that so small a band of women should fiave been able to do so much for The more recent organization, The Anti-Saloon League, has also come to stay. However in all the islands there is now no person paid for the one purpose of devoting time and thought continually toward meeting the problems of the liquor question. The work must be done by self-sacrificing effort through various committees in these two organizations, supplemented, it is hoped, by a large numbers of individuals outside. A determined effort must be made by all interested toward securing fair play on the part of members of the leeislature. The local option idea is thoroughly fair. It places the responsibility of saloons or no saloons upon the majority of the voters of any precinct or district or municipality. If the majority want saloons the minority ought to acquiesce and make a better fight next time or move away. If the majority wants no saloont, it is perfectly fair that the saloon keepers sliall give up until they can rally sufficient forces to make a new battle at the polls, or move away. Plead the argument of fair play in your talks with members of the legislature. The hot fight of the temperance people will be on local option. Local option must not be asked as a favor to the churches or to the Anti-Saloon League or to Temperance workers. It must not be a favor to anybody. The demand for local option must be on the ground of fair play to the majority of voters. It is self-evident that if the members of the legislature intend to be fair in dealing with cither liquor men or temperance men they must enact a law which places ffie right Jo have saloons or no saloons in the hands of a majority of the voters and thus give both sides fair play at the polls without fear or favor. �THE FRIEND 8 His professed followers stand uncompromisingly for this, are they recognized as such by the world.

Dr. Scudder writes from Kobe, Japan, under date of February Ist, that he expects to begin operations again, that is, to enter upon a northern tour, early next month, visiting among other places, Niigata, whence have come a considerable number of the emigrants to Hawaii. Readers of The FRIEND have learned of Dr. Seudder's plan of making the acquaintance of the relatives of those who have gone as laborers to Hawaii, and becoming as it were a messenger from the parents and kindred in Japan to their loved ones now in Hawaii. Thus expecting to secure a cordial welcome and a hearing ear from many a lonely and sorrowing young man to whom a message of love from the far land will be as cool water to a thirsty soul. Dr. Scudder purposes to finish his touring in Japan and to turn bis face toward Hawaii, by the end of April. Miss Eliza Talcott, who for two and a half years rendered such efficient service for the Japanese women and the lapanese church of our city, has now entered upon her duties as associate with M'ss Harrows in the Women's Bible School of Kobe, Tapan. Under date of January 11st, she writes from the home of Miss Barrows, the old Citilick bouse in Kobe, as follows: This morning, the snow is falling, and the crass is white though the *now melts as it touches the bare ground. Tt is cold everywhere in suite of seven coal fires that have been kindled in the bouse besides the kitchen fire. They dispensed with the furnace some years ago.

Recarding the moral atmosphere Miss Talcott savs: The arrest of many Principals of High and Normal schools, and officers of the Educational Department, has greatly and publicly emphasized the need of a thorough moral purification of the nation. Mr. Harada (pastor of the Kobe Japanese Congregational church) said in his s.ermon last Sabbath, "The Emperor's Rescript is not sufficient as a moral stimulus in our School and colleges. We need Christ and his teachings." This would have been considered almost treason, a little while ago. �9 THE FRIEND . OUR ISLAND HOMES I You this? When God wanted a love with which to compare his own he chose the love of parents for their children. "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, saith the Lord." "Like as a father pitieth bis children, SO the Lord pitieth them that fear Him." And why? lieeause, "He knoweth our frame he rememberetb that we are dust." He makes excuses for us just as father and mother do; hence the boundless patience pf God; like the patience of a loving mother. Some day, if you live long enough, you will be better able to appreciate all this. When you have sons and daughters of your own and all the joy, pride and anguish of parentage is a personal experience, then, you will be able to put yourself in mother's place. God grant that that day may be free from bitter memories. Forgive us for preaching a sermon, perhaps you dislike preaching; but this comes from the heart. "We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen," We have no individual case in mind, this is only general; you also may "know" and "see" if you will. Youth is thoughtless, but remember "Evil is wrought from want of thought As well as from want of heart." No, we whose hearts are ojd have not forgotten. Youth is attractive to us; we love, often long for, the society of the young; we like to be included in their pleasures; we value their little courtesies and confidences, and are keenly sensitive to slights. It is easy to hurt us, to make us feel in the way, or that our expressions of affectionate regard are a bore, and we are not dull about these things.

Alexander, D.D., for twenty-five years a missionary of the Presbyterian Board in Japan, died in Honolulu on Nov. 4, 1902. About a year ago Dr. Alexander had been obliged to leave Japan on account of ill-health, but instead of coming all the way to America, stopped in the Sandwich Islands, where it was believed the conditions would be more healthful for him, and where also he might find opportunities to work among the more than 70,000 Japanese living in the Islands. During his sta\yrn~Hio»vSiulu he was constantly busy hTfliis work, preaching and assisting other workers until the last. Dr. Alexander was born in Mt. Horeb, Term., October Bth, 1850, and went out to Japan in 1877. During his life in Japan be bad been active in the opening of new stations, bad taught theology in the Meiji Gakuin in Tokyo, and just prior to bis departure from Japan bad been in change of the evangelistic work in the city of Kyoto, where also he was helping the Congregational missionaries in the Theological Department of the of a faultless life, and by a service that never wearied, and that never put case or self in the place of the Savior. He was the type ot missionary of whom the critics ot missions know nothing—a gentleman, a scholar and a Christian. Well would it be for both America and Asia if all who went out from the one to the other, went with a title of his nobility of character and his purity of unselfishness.—From The Herald, February, 1903.

Ather- ton, which occurred at half-past nine on the evening of April 7th, the community and the Islands lose a citizen of the besi type. We shall (rive a full account of his life and work in our next issue. We have been fortunate during the past few weeks in having among us an unusual number of reoresentative Christian people from the East. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels have been especially welcomed by our people, and with them Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Cobb and daughters of Newton, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Miner of Boston: Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Harbison of Alleghany, Pa. These people have seen much of the various forms of Christian and benevolent work done here and have given aid and encouragement by their presence and words. One exgentlemen, to our certain pressed his interest in our work by a substantial gift to the Hawaiian Board. We wish them, one and all, God-speed as they return to their own.homes. Our readers will notice some changes in matter and arrangement in the present number of The Friend. A full page instead of a half page is devoted to the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, the departments given for the past year to "Our Island Homes" and "The Christian Life" are discontinued. Instead of the latter, a page will be devoted to the discussion from month to month of practical moral and relieious question or questions of a more scientific or secular nature having a moral and religious bearing. The Record of Events is followed by a column or two of comment on current topics, by Mr. W. L. Whitney. We hope this feature may be continued. Lastly, we have given- a little sjace to If these Missionary Intelligence. changes meet with the approval of the board of editors, they will be continued, while we shall all the time try to give as full an account as possible of the doings of our churches, and the missions under the Hawaiian Board. Since the following three articles have been in type, the bill for the regulation of the liquor traffic in these Islands as proposed by the liquor men has passed the Senate with some modifications. Petitions have also been received and placed on file, asking for a reconsideration of the Local Option Bfll. • ■ ._ ... One month ago we passed a few mild Option Bill strictures upon the argument for the fa.rness of the proposed Local Option liquor bill, as viewed from the standpoint of those who suffer from the vice of drunkenness, either in themselves or their friends; but, at the same time, admitting that under the present circumstances, it was probably the best measure that could be suggested. Certainly whatever might have been said of its fairness from an ethical point of view, as a legislative measure, it 'was eminently reasonable. No man who had the slightest degree of candor of mind could offer any objection to it on this ground. This bill lias been before the Senate, and, notwithstanding its reasonable character, has been laid on the table, which, we presume, is equivalent to its rejection. While it woul I have been interesting to have seen the experiment of local option tried, and while we believe in giving a hearty support to any measure that becomes a law for even a partial * restriction of the liquor business, we are not disposed 10 mourn greatly over this defeat, if such it should prove to be, because it would reveal as nothing else can the real character and disposition of those who constitute the liquor element in these Islands. It ought to be perfectly plain vo everyone, even now; that fairness or reasonableness or regard for the wishes or rights of the community are elements that do not enter into the consideration of the liquor men, when these came between them and the accomplishment of their ends. With the attainment of theseendi, no principle of honor, justice or righteousness can be allowed to interfere. It is this character of the liquor elemen: that has been unmasked by the recent action of the Senate. It is a significant fact that in the final vote upon the question, five white men supported the bill and two white men, with the solid native vote opposed and defeated it. This reveals a situation which the liquor men doubtless feel that they are competent to maintain, and, so, to carry through any measure that will be suited to their purposes. The progress of the other bills which are before the Senate for the promotion of the:r business, tends to confirm this statement. These bills are receiving no check, but are steadily advancing toward their finai passage. This' fact, with the defeat of the Local Option bill, makes perfectly clear the character and intentions of the liquor party, as well as the conditions which we may expect to see here in the near future unless means can be found to overcome the influences now strongly prevailing. The Local No. 4 The only argument that appears to have been orTerecl against the Local Option bill was that it would keep tourists away. The converse of this is also one of the stock arguments in favor of a practically unlimited sale of intoxicating drink. The tourist, we are told, is a man who wants to drink. If he cannot get what he wants, he will not come here, and the country will iut get his money, which, the liquor men would like to have us believe, is on,e of the essential elements in our existence. The argument is not even plausible. It amounts to saying that we need for our welfare the money of a certain class of people, many of whom are dissipated in their habits. In order to get this money we must furnish the means and opportunity for this dissipation or this class of people will not come. In other words in order to have prosperity, we must establish in our midst, places for the sale of intoxicating driks, which, as every one knows, tend to debauch the people and undermine all the foundations on which prosperity rests. The argument contains an evident self-contradiction. Its weakness is easily seen also from other points of view. In the first place, we may ask who gets the tourist's money? It goes without saying that the hotels get the most of it, but as the hotels are all in the liquor business, and depend largely on their sales of liquor for support, it i * just as evident that the liquor men are the ones who profit most largely by tourist travel. Consequently they want tourists to come here, not because they have any interest in the welfare and advancement of the Islands, but because they want an ad ditional source ofrevenue for themselves. Between the presence of tourists and the absence of the rumseller, as conditions of prosperity, there can be but little comparison. If the money that is now spent for intoxicating drink by the people of these Islands, was spent in paying for homes, decent clothes, good food and such things as go to build up character and respectability, and which money would be spent among our own legitimate tradesmen, the people, as a whole, would enfby a genuine prosperity, even if there was never another tourist landed here.. The tourist argument, as advanced by the Hquor men, is not only fallacious, U has even a worse character. It is a bid for the coming here of a class of people whose presence is demoralizing and always to be deprecated. They are the class that seek out the hula girls, and have a keen scent for such places generally. A flagrant instance of this kind has just been told to us on good authority. It is this class of tourists only to Tourists and Liquor • �4 THE FRIEND whom the inducements held out by th_ possibilities of the future.

Very little of their money is likely to get into the channels of ttade suppression of these evils. Few people are perhaps aware that Congress already passed laws that are Viow has en forced, which contain the principle and germ of absolute prohibition. We give a quotation on this point from Rev. Wilbur Crafts, in The Advance, on the implications of the Anti-canteen law. Ile says: "I-'ew people have realized the vast significance ol this action of Congress. It was a declaration that the sale of beer and light wines by the government is bad for health and bad for order in the Army, and, as General Carlin says, 'if bad for health and bad for order in the army, bad everywhere.' It is this universal implication of this action that has 10 thoroughly aroused the brewers for the vain fight they have made to recover this breastwork in the present Congress, ihey see more clearly than many busy Christians have seen, that as the acorn includes the oak, this action involves, if legally carried out, universal prohibition." We see from these suggestions that the temperance workers here have scarcely begun to use the means at their disposal for overcoming the opposition to temperance measures. As events are shaping themselves at present, alCChristian and temperance people who belong to tiiesc Islands, will soon be driven to ventilate the facts, as a matter of common honesty, before they can invite people from other lands to come and take up their lot among us. PRINCE ALBERT KUNUIAKEA The passing away of this Hawaiian nobleman is a notable event, in the fact that with him disappears the last individual of the royal line of Kamehameha, and we believe also the last descendant of the famous John Young. Althougi as Christian ethics reckon it, not a legitimate son of Kamehameha 111, according to old Hawaiian custom Albert was sufficiently such to have been in the line of succession. He was from birth adopted by that king and brought up in the Royal family, which was not a favorable environment for the healthy development ff character. Albert was a man of amiable, well-intentioned nature, intelligent, gracious and courteous in manner, and markedly endowed with the peculiarly graceful and stately dignity of Hawaiian royalty. I.i the failure of legitimate descendants of Kamehameha after Lunalilo, Kunuiakea might have heen a formidable competitor against Kalakaua for election by the Legislature to the throne, but for the 'evelonment of too conspicuous evidences of unfitness for such responsibility. This unfortunate prince has been a pathetic figure of gracious qualities combined with such fatal weakness as hopelessly disqualified him for position in accord with the exalted rank of whicn he was deeply and proudly conscious. He was thus unhappily typical of too many �5 THE FRcEND of his Hawaiian kindred, like their prince, an amiable and well inclined people, nevertheless disabled and wasting away for lack of physical and moral fibre. One deeply sorrows for him and for them, although their condition may byno means be counted hopeless. Whai these native people most lack is the existence among them of a pure and wi.se motherhood to mould their tender yeais towards high and sturdy character. We believe that genuine and valuable progress is making in that direction, especially through our Ciirls* Seminarie*. Will it avail to invigorate and save the race? A long procession of sorrowing Hawaiians and of mourning friends of the old native royalty escorted this last sci.in of the chief kingly line to the tomb of his fathers. There his body will rest with those of many noted and conspicuous kings and chiefs of past days. Amid the tumult of the vast Pacific commerce will abide that memorial of a proud and noble race of chiefs. S. E. B. REV. CHARLES H. DANIELS, D.D. The people of missionary antecedents in these Islands arc enjoying a visit just now from Dr. Charles H. Daniels an I wife of Newton, Mass. Dr. Daniels U the Secretary of the Home Department of the American Board, with his office 'n Boston, and is now, after fifteen years of service, enjoying a well-earned vacation of several months. Dr. and Mrs. Daniels are both New England people. He was born in Lyme, New Hampshire, but grew up in Worcester, Mass. He is a graduate of Amherst College and of Union Theological Seminary. Previous to becoming a secretary of the American Board he held pastorates in Montague. Mass.; Cincinnati, Ohio, and Portland, Maine. In the latter place he ministered to the church over which Edward Payson was once the pastor. In 1888, Dr. Daniels became district secretary of the American Board, with his office in New York City, and having as his field, the Middle States, Connecticut, Ohio and such Southern States as contained Congregational Churches. After five years of service in this capacity, and on the retirement of Dr. E. K. Alden. Secretary of the Home Department of the Board, Dr. Daniels was chosen as his successor. In this position h : s work lies mainly in two directions— presenting the work and needs of the Board before the churches, and conducting the correspondence with candidates for appointment to foreign missionary service and recommending such as are found .satisfactory to the Prudential Committee. preDr. trip, sentr and thei On Mrs. Daniels have spent a month in Mexico, Our good Heavenly Father did njt some time in Southern California, and on intend this to be so.

Let him reserve his zest, to join the worshippers in God's house, to which the Sunday paper, is, I am constrained to say, an enemy. Let him in the afternoon either go forth to a quiet walk f-r ride or read a higher class literature. That of the paper in question is secondclass, in fiction, in science, in art: the caricatures of the divine human form, so frequent in the thirty page, garish iieaps of paper are little short of degrading, yea blasphemous. And good things are withheld from the papers for the reason that the Sunday number would probably receive them all. This matter should stand on its own basis. It need not be mixed up in discussion with the city's necessities in the way of street cars and like needs oi our modern life. As to the news that gets absorbed into the Sunday paper we can read it on Monday if we do not wish to lose it. Curtis J.

The dominant feature is its mountain backing Lahaina is a village in the middle of a narrow seashore plain fifteen miles long, and from any point on this seashore, the eye can follow up the mountain ridges, broad at the base and of easy rise at first, but ever narrowing, until they cluster into a ragged crown, six thousand feet above the ocean, yet not eight miles away! This mountain barrier shuts off the trade wind, and Lahaina roadstead is as smooth as the proverbial millpond, though a brief time may bring the sailor to a wind-tossed portion of Neptune's domain of a very different quality. Four channels lead into this inland sea. from the north, from the west, from the south, and from the southeast, and each has its own significant name. The islands which make these channels are seen most comprehensively from the hill back of the town— Molokai on the right, stretching westward; Lanai directly in front, blocking the ocean on the southwest; and Kahoolawe, long and low, on the left, running southwestward. Under the morning sunshine this water is so clear that I doubt if even the "Vesuvian bay" depths is worthy of more praise. No slimy patches are here, but clean, white sand with ground of darker coral rock, an ideal holding for ships in five to twenty fathom water; and air for in color—Nature has here made liquid into it ages, by the cubic mile, and pressed the blue of forty tropic skies! Nor is the sight alone gratified. When a Honolulu steamer arrives, whether it be at midnight or at early dawn, and the tumbling of Kaiwi channel is left far behind, and anchor is dropped, there comes to the traveler a sense of perfect peace —is not this one of the senses?— and from the cloudless mountain which dark-to ens the starlit sky like a great wave ready break, comes the gentle land breeze like a refreshing bath; and with the breeze, the fragrance of sugar cane fields, and a delicate bint of tomato gardens and ripe musk melons; and for music, the perpetual booming of the surf, a giant's lullaby. Lahaina was the fourth station occupied by American missionaries. Messrs. Stewart and Richards being assigned to it by the general vote. Twenty years after that time, there were nine mission families at the stations which grouped about Lahaina and fifteen at the stations on the other three islands. The work was vastly increased: the awakened nation hung upon the skirts of the teachers almost a dead weight; it was a serious problem with these teachers how to preserve their own vigor and to keep their work everlastingly moving, and the number of broken lives among them seemed to show that the two needs could not be harmonized. The practice and of itinerating, or exchanging stations work periodically, was an alleviation, though not all shared in this plan; the annual gathering at Honolulu brightened the spirits of all who thus met brethren and sisters, but the going and coming in the schooners of those or canopied stretcher, or even the plebeian ox-cart would be called into requisition; but as most places could be reached by sea, what could be more natural than to use the facile canoe and a stalwart crew, which could be had at short notice by "touching" the konohiki, or head man of the place. In 1843 and thereabout, the writer was a junior member of his father's family, then living at Lahainaluna, and a happy participant in some of these visits by canoe. These visits were one or more in each direction to Molokai, and to Wailuku and Makawao via Maalaca Bay—and they were crowded with pleasurable incident of which memory retains only salient points and a general impression. As the voyage was to commence in the night, we made a general move to Lahaina late in the previous afternoon. My man, Kahananui. a High School hoy. first decorated his pony with sundry baskets and bundles assigned to him, then got himself into the saddle, and me behind him on the saddle blanket. I gave no care to the rest of the family, but in some fashion we formed a caval- cade ami crawled down the hill through two miles of dusty road to the sea. then, turning to the left, were in Dr. Baldwin's yard, or in Mr. Richards' yard, next adjoining. Now began the exhilaration of travel, in new children to play with, new books to look at, new trees to climb; for each of the mission houses had a magnificent spreading Icon tree in its front yard, and numerous kukuis made a shady grove. We children were put to bed on shakedowns on the upper front veranda, and went to sleep soothed by the twittering of cocoanut leaves and the muffled monotone of the eternal surf. At three o'clock, by the stars, the light of a lantern and men's vocies in the yard below, with a subdued call, brought us to our feet, wide awake. Then was hurried dressing, and gathering up of portable property and a hasty lunch of dried beef and biscuits forced upon us by maternal providence, for the real center of excitement was across the road, where the canoe was to be launched, and oh—if we should be too late to see! If this particular occasion were a trip to Molokai, it was Hitchcock's double canoe that was in waiting, anil Mr. Hitchcock himself, always the personal conductor of such visits, was here and there among the buzzing crew, anil compelled obedience by his piercing voice. The Hawaiian's safe harbor for bis beloved canoe was beyond the upper edge of the land beach, out of reach by its adopted element. A small canoe would be picked up and carried down the slope, but a heavy one was treated to a slideway of rushes or grass, to prevent abrasion of its smooth bottom. A line of men on each side of each canoe of the pair took the word from their captain, a prolonged shout Ho ending with an explodcnt ('! when every bowed hack would straighten up. and the canoe would glide forward ten feet, then await a fresh hold and another encouraging shout; and so. by easy advances, the marriage of Ship and Sea came about. After that came the clattering of numerous paddles; the mast and furled sail were taken aboard; the small freight was stowed in the forward and after ends under deck, and boxes and bales around the sides of the central raised platform, all well lashed to place; the impedimenta of the travelers was bestowed in the sky cabin thus formed; and. last of all. days was an excruciating purgatory, too the travelers themselves, each on the broad, were earrietl until we wasteful of life and time to be undertaken bare back of a kanaka our except in dire need: but the interchange ol could find foothold and scramble up lo short visits, where nearness made them easy, perch. was common, and it cultivated the habit of Thus was the embarkation, about 4:.i0 a. in.: hospitality which lives in the country to this and while the canoe, after passing Black Rock, hugs the shore for the sake of smooth For these visits, when an inland trip was to water and speeds on under the impulse of a t : made, the "missionary horse," the mancle stiff bread-fruit breeze, as a dozen paddles may be called, let us unfold the points of interest in this remarkable craft. The waa kaulua, or double canoe, was of the class used in the "navy of invasion and warfare fifty years before. The artisans who built them followed faithfully an artistic ideal, which is wholly ignored in so-called models sold in these days. Some fish can be found of which, if supposed to be free from the surface irregularities of fins and gill covers and cleft horizontally from motinth to tail, cue lower half would be a good model for the universal canoe, but with the ends reversed; for the "entrance" of a canoe is long and the "run" short, and all the "lines" are "full." I have no measurements of Mr. Hitchcock's canoes, but offer the following estimates as Length, 45 feet; nrobably not far wrong. greatest depth. 3 feet; greatest width, 18 inches; distances between canoes, 9 feet: length of pola (lengthwise plank between the canoes,) 20 feet; platform, a temporary expansion of the pola, 8 by 10 feet, and 4 feet above the water; number of rowers in each canoe, six. Each canoe was dug out of a koa log that was without knot or flaw, shaped with perfect symmetry, smoothed with pumice stone and polished black with kukui nut lampblack ground in kukui oil and rubbed in. The moo, or gunwale, was a long stip as wide as the hand and stained yellow, one on each side of the canoe, giving strength and finish to the edges, the two coming together in a graceful, twisting curve, both forward and aft, and forming the upright terminal called manu. or bird. The narrow space at each end was covered by a long triangular deck board, called kupc; and these various parts were sewn together and lashed down to the canoe with cocoanut fiber sennit so artistically that very little of this rope work was visible. Strong but light, arching beams called iako. yoked the canoes, and these were lashed down to short cross pieces within the canoes, which were caught under projecting cleats of the koa wood. The pola was lashed to the highest Dart of these arched beams, and a further frame work of poles and boards made a platform for the accommodation of warriors, noncombatants or freight, as the case might be. We reached trade wind at daylight and changed our course to the left oblique to cross the channel The short mast was stepped in a bole near the forward end of the pola, and guyed in four directions and the mainsail was shaken out. It was not a large sail, but it pulled wonderfully in a free wind. The rear man in the port canoe was captain; the other rear man was lieutenant, and both steered when steering was necessary. The rate of paddling in a seaway was about sixteen strokes a minute. At frequent intervals the paddles were changed from side to side, and the captain gave the signal to change by two claps of his paddle against the canoe: thus, stroke 10. clap; stroke 11. clap; stroke 12, over; and twelve paddles at once glittered in the air and dipped again, and the rthythm was unbroken. This movement was generally executed with perfect precision and in the sunshine it was beautiful. Kaluaaha church was the land mark we steered for.—a white block on the horizon when first discerned, and alternately in sight and out of sight below the water. But we gradually "raised" it, and, according to accounts, it still stands. Kaluaaha landing is a channel through the reef, attributed to an outflow of fresh water. The sea swells make rollers in this channel, and as three consecutive rollers out of seven, or else four out of ten—authorities differ—are breakers, there is a call for wise alertness in the pilot in order to avoid discomfiture. According to Solomon, there is a time to lie, on your oars, as well as a time to pull for dear life. (Continued on Page It) �7 THE FRIEND. to equal the expense they cause the Territory.

TEMPERANCE ISSUES .... 11896-7 I .... ... .... .... - �8 THE FRIEND The Responsibility of Christian People for Public Morality It is not intended in the use of the above title to intimate that Christian people are the only ones who have such responsibility. Duty is not a matter that belongs to Church or sect alone: it pertains to all people alike, in proportion to their knowledge and power of performance. No one can claim exemption tithe general principle, much less, to the particular application of it in the maintenance of morality in the community ami nation to which lie belongs. The Savior, however, said to his disciples, "ye ate the salt of the earth." "ye arc the light of the world." These words stein to indicate that whatever might DC the duty of non-Christian people,'il was by Christians that the world would be saved, From the fact that they arc "the light of the world," and are as "a cit\ set on a hill." they occupy a peculiar vantage ground which invests them with a special responsibility toward their fellowmen around them. So far as these words reveal what that responsibility is, it would seem to be conveyed in the word "light." The Christian is first of all to shine. The first condition of morality is a clear perception-of the truth which underlies ir. This truth the Christian is to make dear in speech and life. It is his responsibility to place his lamp upon its lamp-stand and keep it burning with a clear Mill Steady flame. It is his peculiar business to sir that this is done. It is no part of his duty to put a shade over his lamp or to dim its radiance in order to make it easy for the bleared eye of the world to hear its light. The trouble is not with the light; it is with the eye. To one who has been shut up in a dark room for a long time, the light of the sun is at first painful, but the fault is not in the sun. it is in the weakened organ of vision. I.lit it should not on that account he withdrawn or covered up.. The lisrhl of the sun is what it needs, and a little exnosure will cure the defect. Ami so Ihe Christian should have confidence in his lamp. When he hears the World round about him crying out that he s an tihl fotrv. anil that his leaching is oh: of date, he need not he troubled—nay. he may even reioice. for this is a hopeful svmutnm.

There are no drills and the officers are not so strict about uniform and etiquette as on a regular ship. The rations are good and everything is more orderly and pleasant (ban on the over-crowded Solace. There are about a hundred men aboard- coal- ' passers, firemen, machinists, engineers, seamen and signal bins, who arc apprentices. There are two electricians besides me. I stand a four hour watch ill the dynamo room each night, have charge of the deck lights and help tile chief with any little job that comes Up.

His flagship is the Kentucky a regular fort, and so broad of beam that on one occasion when she was entering an English the Britishers all said. 'Look a: port, the bloody Yankee coming in sideways!" and were astonished when they got 1 closer look. (You needn't believe this if you don't want to").

We made the' trip from Honolulu to Guam in eleven ami one-fourth day-. The' first land sighted was Saipan, of the Padrone group, held by Germany and inhabited by ten Germans and l-'oo seiuisavages from some islands in the vicinity of Africa, who were' brought to Guam by the Spaniards ami deported by the Americans because of their filthy habits and general worthlcssncss. Saipan is a low lying island, barrel, almost treeless, with no harbor and somewhat larger than "l.anai. Guam is the only one of the group that is good for much and is the only one the Americans considered worth keeping. All the rest are held by Germany, hut they have no ships or furls to guard them. Guam is thirty miles long and perhaps fourteen wide. The north-west part is a plateau about 125 feel above' sea-levci ami is thickly wooded. Then conies a hilly piece of country, the upper half of the hills being barren, while the lowtr pails arc heavily wooded right down to the water's edge. CoCOattUtS anil bananas are the commonest fruits. ( >n a little bay al the foot of a hill is Agana, the capital, with may be 2,500 inhabitants, but the landing and naval depot is al San Luis d'Apra. seven miles east. There arc about 12,000 or people on ihe island, scattered everywhere in little villages.

From Guam to Manila was a live days trip, the last tlav being spent in steaminr; through the San Bernardino channel, separating Luzon,-on the north, fro 11 several smaller islands to the south. At the entrance of the bay, which opens west, is Corrcojdor island, which is to he fortified. The bay is so larirc as to be a gulf, but so shallow near shore thai a ship must lie about a mile out. transferinu cargo and passengers in small boats. For freight, "cascos" are used: boats built of some kind of edose-graincd. heavy native wood, about ninety fe -t long ami twelve wide. There are bamboo awnings at each end as shelter for the crew, and bamboo foot ways along the sides to walk on. The how and stern are shaped canoe-fashion and painted in bright colors in all sorts of curious palterns. The liiini boatmen and fishermen use small canoes called "bancas" shaped much like Hawaiian canoes but with a bamboo outrigger on each sidi or else with none at all. They use big squar:, brown sails made of hemp. The city is fairly clean, with narrow streets, elcctn: lights, In use tars, Gamewell lire ami police system being installed, and houses seldom higher than tun stories.

MARRIAGES plenty. ' Nearly everything has had its turn, from the sidewalks in front of the superintendent's house to the reason why the lepers are not catered to by Delmonico or Sherry, and vast amounts of time have been wasteel by our legislature in this amusement. The most prominent measure before us now is undoubtedly the County Bill. With a legislature, both parties of which are pledged to some measure which would put the Territory on a county basis, it seems surprising that an agreement cannot he reached regarding the form of the law. We are assured, at the time we write, that there are only two more stages and the Republican County Pill will become a law, but whether those two will be safely passed remains yet to be seen.

Two of these provide for expenses, one for a (lag for the Territory, and three have to do with minor changes in our crimin tl law. Of investigations we have had a of vice. The dental bill looks towards a better protection of our citizens from a class of quacks who have come to us from the mainland where they swarm.

The bailiff law seems on a good way to be repealed. What a hue and cry was raised over that bill! Yet it has not worked such terrible wrongs after all. However, to put the calling of the juryas directly tinder the power of the judge as this law did, does not seem altogether wise, and the country can well stand a W. L. W. repeal of the law. ...

A., discusses in the March number of The Chronicle of the London Misssionary Society, the advisability of uniting with' the American Board in the education of young men—sending the young men of his own Board's mission to the college of the American Board lit Tung Chow. Mr. Biggin's article is as follows: Now that the L. M. S. has decided not to participate in the large Educational Union for North China, we cannot hope to take more than a secondary place m education at best, and there is only one way that we here can see of securing even that—viz., by union with the American Board. The fundamental hometruth to grasp is this, that we cannot ourselves (except at a great outlay) educate ojr students efficiently—about that there is complete unanimity in North China—we have 11 not funds or men enough. Now, in the preswork, the want of educated helpers is keenly felt, and will be felt more and more acutely as time goes on, causing weakness in every department of work. Well, in this "Union" scheme the American Boa-: 1 offer us far more than we could expect then to do: they require no initial expenditure; our boys secure a first-class education at a cost about equal to that of the mediocre on;: they get now; they will compare as men witii those employed in other societies; our educational plan will be unified; and the Society'; work should in time be supplied with abc Chinese workers in most of its branches, though, at present, the medical training is not provided for. If this scheme is rejected, I do not see any prospect for my work here at all; it will remain a small school of boys of all ages and all stages of learning, inadequate for our needs, unable (because too a/eak) lo control the standard of entrance, and, in a. word— inefficient. The best boys will, of course, go elsewhere. T'ung Chun College will accommodate ijo Students. This next year they hope to add ent stage of our another building to contain large assembly rooms, class rooms, &c. The Academy—or, as we say, High School —is also to have separate buildings shortly, .but is at present part of the College. The grounds arc very extensive, the situation as healthy as can be desired. There is a good staff of teachers, and the men turned out -n the past have been reckoned the best in tlvs province. The fittings and apparatus are excellent, as also the arrangements for sleeping, food. &c. Our L. M. S. school at Peking has only a number of rooms that might be tolerated (alter improvements) as a wash-house or scullery at home. Of course the comparison is unfair, because we have no proper premises accommodated in now; but compare with cither of the plans sent home for our school, and you will see that so far as buildings go we are bound to remain far behind what the American Board provide at present, though this only represents about half of what their plans includ-. If we are behind in buildings we are not much better in other respects. They have college and school, we have a school (of thr-'C boys just now—reckoned as High School boys') they have four or five missionaries set apart fur teachinar. we have one (Dr.- Hart'i work is totally different).

Whitney, Pro.'. chapel was in charge of Mr. Henry Waterhouse. On the 2d of February, Mr. Henry Judd was engaged by the Standing Committee of Central Union Church to take charge of the work of the chapel until September. The work at Palama has been interfered with somewhat by the prevalence of the dengue fever, but, at the time of writing, it seems to be disappearing. The attendance keeps up eptite well at both the Sunday evening service and the Friday evening prayermeeting. On Sunday, March 22(1, the largest attendance for some time was present. The Sunday-school is continuing its good work and the average attendance is about eighty. Mr. Clifton Tracy is superintendent of the school. The Reading-room adjoining the chapel is in need of more literature. Old magazines, illustrated papers, etc., are greatly appreciated and can he left at the room any evening except Sunday. VV. D.

Baltimore New York Washington Honolulu �13 THE FRIEND A full meeting and a generous contribution resulted from these appeals. After opening remarks by Mrs. Nash, who explained why such a gathering was called a "Thank-offering" meeting, the little basket went on its errand and returned overflowing with tiny envelopes. The announcement that nearly— or quite—one hundred dollars was in hand, or immediately to be in hand, created enthusiastic applause. It sounds much to this little struggling society. The present objects to which it pledges aid are the Hilo Free Kindergarten, the very valuable work near the Waiakea landings—a quarter sometimes called "Hilo slums,"—and also special work in their own tongue among the Japanese of that neighborhood. After the basket exercise, dainty little bouquets were passetl about, to each of which was attached an appropriate quotation, either Biblical or secular. Most of them were read aloud. Mrs. Hyde then offered a prayer of thanksgiving and of petition for blessing on the offering and the work. A short musical program followed and a pretty recitation, and the happy afternoon closed with a social tea. Over fifty ladies were present, which is more than treble the number of the society; and to their friendly lift the warm thanks of the membership are due. Also to Mrs. Nash, our new and efficient president, who proposed and carried through this plan to its successful end.

The Thursday evening entertainments have been sucessful as a rule, and the boys seem to appreciate what is being done for them. These entertainments are in two places —the basement of Kawaiahao church, and the Palama club, over the Brigade's training school oti King street, at the junction with Beretania street. Talks, stereopticon lecture', vocal and instrumental music have been provided by various ladies and gentlemen. The attendance at these clubs varies At the Palama club there is a good equipment of gymnasium apparatus, graphophone, electric lantern, etc. The industrial department is progressing nicely. The boys in the afternoon school make calabashes, hook-cases, tables, koa boxes, etc., at very reasonable rates.

THE MEETING AT PUNA The Spring meeting of the Hawaii Association, which was held with the church at I'ltula, Puna, was well attended by the people of the district. At each meeting there was a good audience of interested listeners. The usual numb.i of pastors and delegates being also present. On Sunday there was a largely attended Sunday-school exhibition, classes being present from as far away as Kamaili. ddic Association decided this year to change its accustomed moderator, and Rev. C. M. Kamakawiwoole was chosen. Perhaps the event of greatest interest was the resignation of Rev. L. K. Kalawe from the ministry. This closes a sad ministerial experience. Suspended from the ministry three years aeo for immoral conduct, Mr. Kalawe has continued his sin to this day. The result is a violated home, a divided church and a vitiated communal life. The coming of the Association to Puna was an evident benefit to all. Rev. Kamoku is retired from the care (Komike) of the churches of Puna and Rev. Kamatt, the juelge of the district, is put in his place. Mr. Kamoku's only charge now is the church of Olaa. There is a probability of Mr. O. Z. Waikalai's leaving the Puna district and the charge of the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. These churches were visited by Evangelist Timoteo and the Secretary, and special meetings were held with good results. Here is a district in need of a settled preacher, if one can only be found. There is one compensation in this great lack of preachers which we are �14 THE FRIEND feeling in the native work, the fact is bringing the laymen to the front.

She spoke of the high place given to the women by our Lord, so different from the standard of the Jews of that day. the afternoon of April 14. There was an informal but interesting discussion of woman's work on various lines, after which reports of several committee's were heard. The committee on the anti-cigarette movement among the children of our public schools was very encouraging, quite a large number of pledges having been secured. Something has also been done to encourage school children to save their money by means of the school bank systtin. Other subjects of importance were brought up. The Advance quotes Oxford Bibles from the Literary The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evan- Digest the following facts concerning the gelical Association, on his return from a production of Oxford Bibles. Those who considerable absence on the mainland, fancy that the Bible is becoming antidiscovers a hopeful condition of the quated would do well to ponder these Hoard's finances. We say "hopeful"— that some of our money is in sight, "for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" A very large overdraft during the middle of the year was entirely wiped out by the munificence of one of our givers. This condition of affairs is not likely to occur every year in the ordinary run of things, hence, although there is strong reason to believe that we may end the year without debt, provided some of our usual generous donors help as previously, the thought of next year presents some difficult questions. We are not afraid, however—"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." We trust that our usual supporters will rally to our aid, so that our hope expressed abovemay be realized, for "we with patience wait for it." not The meeting of the W. C. T. U. this month (or for the month of April) was of more than usual interest. The subject of the meeting was woman's work. The leader, Mrs. Whitney, in her opening remarks, spoke upon the new rendering of the verse in Psalms 68:11. "The Lord gave the word.

Every yeai fuLWjoo tons of paper are used for this purpoV*alorte. Orders for 100,000 Bibles are quite common, and the supply of printed sheets is to great that an order for half a million copies can be readily filled. On an average, from 30 to 40 Bibles are furnished every minute, and this number versity Press can readily he doubled. There are no fewer than 110 different editions of the Oxford Bibles in English, varying from the magnificent folio edition for pulpit use to the "brilliant' Bible, the smallest edition of the Scripture! in the world. Of the Revised Version, four- editions are published. More than million copies of the revised New Testament had been ordered before the day of publication in May of 1881, and it is claimed that the worlcingmcn of the establishment refused a bribe of some four thousand pounds to furnish a copy of the book before the day of issue. At the banquet held at the four hundredth celebration of the beginning of the art of printing in England by Caxton, Gladstone took into his hands and exhibited fo those present a copy of the Bible which had lieen printed and hound entirely since midnight of the preceding day. The preparation of the "India paper" used by the Oxford University press is a business secret of great value. Although frentiently imitated it has never been equaled.

In the seventeen years since the Press has been under the management of Horace Hart, the number of employees has increased from 278 to 650. One or two Germans and American MissionariesCtahroleins v a „ u c c ~. hayc appeared in our daily papers lately in re- gard to interference on the part of MiGerman authorities with the American missionaries in Ruk, Micronesia. Fuller reports are now at hand in the papers from the mainland. As there stated, the facts are as follows: On December 26th four of the stu- dents of the Mission Training School at Ruk were arrested on the charge of preaching against the German government ; and after being kept in confinement till February 16th, they were taken to Ponape, three hundred and fifty miles away. Ponape is the island on which the German Governor resides, and it is supposed that the students were taken there for trial. The American missionary resident on Ruk is the Rev. M. L. Sanson, a missionary of the American Hoard. It is stated in the reports that grave charges were also made against him, but that he was not arrested, although the captain of the German warship behaved with great insolence. The case has been brought to the attention of the Department of State at Washington by the officials of the American Hoard, as the missionaries under their direction are instructed to be loyal to the governments under which they labor, and the officers of the Board are consequently averse to accepting the statement that it has been otherwise in this case. Additional ground for appeal is also given in th: .s instance in the fact that when Germany actiuired the Spanish possessions in Micronesia, it was stipulated by the United States, and agreed to by Germany, that the rights of Americans in the islands should be preserved. This episode, indicating as it probably does, an unfriendly attitude toward the American Protestant missionary work in the German possessions in Micronesia, introduces another complicating element into a problem already full of difficulty. The Micronesian mission is the most �4 costly of all the American Hoard's missions as compared with its results, and the Board has been trying" to make arrangements by which it could turn over its work there to the Protestant societies of England and Germany, to whom the various groups of islands belong, but so far without success. It remains to be seen what will grow out of this latest development. The growth of The Teacher and the American instituPhilanthropist j as they exist tons today is due in large degree to two types of men, namely, the men who do the pioneer work in education antl religion, and Christian philanthropists, who, as the newer communities take on permanent and settled forms, furnish the -means for the support of those institutions which conserve and perpetuate the work of the earlier laborers. In the United States these two types of men are seen in the home missionaries and educators of the western frontier, and the Christian men of wealth of the eastern and middle portions of the land. These two classes of men are the bulwark of American civilization and liberty, in that they uphold the ideals of life essential among a people of democratic ideas, and endeavor to incarnate these ideals in the people by means of Christian schools and religious institutions. In Father Railey and Mr. Athertoii, who have lately passed from earth, and whose lives and work are described in another part of this paper, we have representatives of these two types of men. Roth were thoroughly American, and their influence was such as to prepare for and foster the American principles which we now wish to see dominant in these Islands. Father Bailey was the early teacher and promoter of industrial enterprises. He worked with small means among primitive conditions. He planted ideas which have borne fruit—to what extent no one knows—in the lives of the Hawaiian people, and which had their effect in the formation of a Christian civilization. Mr. Atherton reaped the material benefits which the earlier work made possible, and turned them back with a generous hand for the enlargement and firmer establishment of the institutions founded by the fathers, and for the inauguration of such new ones as the changed conditions of the later years called for. There are probably few, if any, of our institutions of the philanthropic and benevolent kind that are not indebted to him in some degree for their present status. The two men wrought in different spheres, yet they worked to the same purpose in that the larger ends sought THE FRIEND by them lay in the higher interests of humanity. Such men are the world's benefactors, and richly deserve the respect and gratitude of their fellow-men. THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF REV. EDWARD G. BECKWITH, D. D., AND MRS. CAROLINE P. ARMSTRONG BECKWITH We can recall but four golden weddings that have occurred among our acquaintances of the Island community. Mr. Beckwith, fresh from Williams College and from the paternal home in Great Harrington, amid the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts, having won the highest honors at Williams College, arrived in Honolulu in 1852 and took charge of the Royal School on the southwestern slope of Punchbowl. On April 17, 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline P. Armstrong, the oldest daughter of Dr. Richard Armstrong, then Minister of Public Instruction and founder of the common school system of these Islands, and the father also of General S. C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute for the colored people. For about five years Mr. Beckwith was principal of the Royal School, in which lie had for pupils the last sovereign and one of the princesses of the Hawaiian Islands, namely, Liliuokalani, and Princess Victoria. Besides these royal personages, many of the leading men ami women of the past half century were among his pupils. Mo algebraic equation can reveal to human view the value of the influence of this young Christian teacher upon the minds and hearts of these soon-to-be powerful leaders of the Hawaiian race. None can tell us how much of the law-abiding character of the Hawaiian people and of the peaceful conduct of the government in the forty succeeding years of troublesome and revolutionary times was due to the gentle but powerful influence of this one consecrated New England school teacher. In 1857 Mr. Beckwith was ordained to the gospel ministry, and soon after left for the United States, in company with Dr. Armstrong, where he- raised $30,000 for the endowment of Oahu College, of which he became the first president. Besides this fund raised in the States, many of the missionary fathers gave largely from their small means toward the endowment. From its foundation in 1841, to this time, 1857, Punahou School had for its principal Rev. Daniel Dole, the most of whose pupils -were the children of the missionary families. Both as principal of the Royal School and as president of Oahu College, Di. Beckwith exerted a most powerful and benign influence over a wide circle of th_ mission children. As an example of plain living and high thinking, or perhaps, more correctly, as the inspirer of lofty ideals, the good Doctor exerted untold influence over his afterward most distinguished brother-in-law, General Armstrong, who said of Dr. Beckwith that he had never met one whose ideals were as uplifting until he met President Mark Hopkins of Williams College. After a few years as president of ()ahu College, he resigned and was called to the pastorate of a church in Sacramento, California. Thence he went to Andovc-r Theological Seminary for study, and later became the pastor of a church in San Francisco, whose pulpit he filled for some years. His next charge was mi Waterbury, Connecticut, whence he returned again to San Francisco, and wis pastor of a church in the Mission Dolores. From this, his fourth pastorate in the United States, he was called in 18S7 to the pastorate of Central Union Church of Honolulu. Many of his former pupils were members of the Bethel and Fort street churches, and during tin's pastorate of six years a new and commodious building was erected on Beretania street. Early in 1894, on account of Mrs. health, he resigned and accepted a call to the Foreign Church of I'aia, Maui, where for ten years he has been the beloved pastor and eloquent preacher. "()n the morning of April 27th. ere the sun was ti|)," says Dr. I leek with, writing from Hamakuapoko, Maui, "the greetings began to break in upon our 'sweet dream of peace,' and all the glad morning the sprites that bring messages and things came trooping in." The substantial gift from their loving Honolulu friends was-accompanied by the following fitting tribute of love and esteem, penned by one of his devoted pupils, Mrs. Emma Dillingham: "Beside the path your feet have trod stand little children, youth, strong men, and those with faltering step, whose hands you have clasped, whose hopes you have stimulated, whose hearts you have strengthened, and whose faith you have sustained. Through all the years they have called you blessed, and now, on this golden day, they lay at your feet their most loyal, tender love and gratitude, praying that you may be spared yet many years to go in and out among them." o.

Mr. Bailey had been permitted, on February 24th, to celebrate his 89th birthday, when he was in his usual comfortable health. Five weeks later, on March 31, he succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at the home of bis youngest son in Alhambra, California. Mr. Bailey was born in Holden, Mass., He there made February 24, 1814. profession of religion in January, 1830. In 1836 he received appointment as in assistant missionary to Hawaii, and on November 28 was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Hubbard, also of Holelen, who was his faithful companion for nearly 58 years. They embarked December 14, 1836, on the ship "Mary Frazier," arriving in Honolulu April 9, 1837, in company with the largest band of missionaries ever sent here, comprising fifteen men with their wives, with two single ladies. Mr. Bailey's first location was at Kohala, removing thence in 1840 to assist in Lahainaluna Seminary. Thence in 1841 he removed to Wailuku to cooperate with Miss Ogden in conducting the Boarding School for girls at that place, in which work he remained until 1849. After that time, Mr. Bailey labored in various special and general educational work for Hawaiians, always active also in spiritual labors. After a short time he became self-supporting by agricultural work. Early in the sixties he engaged in sugar culture, and conducted the eatliest manufacture of sugar in Wailuku, which was extended by his son William with great success antl later became mergeel in the prosperous Wailuk'i plantation. Mr. Bailey also had an active part in starting the Haiku Sugar Company. In such enterprises he acquired a very moderate competence. During the whole of Mr. Bailey's 44 years in Wailuku he continueel to have a ieading influence in both educational and spiritual labors in that district, in cooperation with the missionary pastors there, and latterly the native pastors. He v.aj active in Sunday School work and in helping in the Sabbath and week-day preaching, a labor that he loved. He gave important aid in the erection of the new stone church in Wailuku some twenty-five years ago, being the archi- . in the Training Schools for Hawaiian girls; from 1856 to 1880 his aid was a very large factor in creating and maintaining the Maunaolu Girls' School of Makawao under its various teachers and principals. After repeated destruction of the buildings by fire he gave much personal labor to their reestablishment. The great prosperity and success of that school is owing in a large measure to Mr. Bailey's wise and efficient labors in its behalf. With strength unimpaired by age, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey left their Wailuku home in 1885 and removed to California, where a son was in prosperous occupation. There Mrs. Bailey died in iBt)4. During his remaining years Mr. Bailey spent considerable intervals on Maui, where two sons were living, but continued to make his home with other two It should be especsons in California. ially noted that a very delightful occupation of his old age was that of oil-painting, chiefly of landscapes, an art which he began to cultivate after middle age with much success. Excellent specimens of his handiwork adorn many homes in Hawaii nei. By his five sons Mr. Bailey left a largo number of grandchildren, nearly all adult, and several descendants of the fourth generation. A very sad bereavement was the sudden removal of the fourth son, who was swept from the quarter of a steamer by a breaker on the bar when entering Golden Gate, and seen no more. Three sons in prosperous circumstances survive their father. All who knew Father Bailey number him high among the noble and saintly Christian men who wrought together so successfully under God's wonderful guidance to redeem the Hawaiian people from their ancient low estate. The last of those good men has now passed away ; three aged women still remain, one of them, Mother Parker, lacking little of her century of years with a blessed record of loving piety and cheerful, devout toils. S. E. B. . JOSEPH BALLARD ATHERTON In the death of this esteemed Christian gentleman, which occurred on the evening of April 7th, our Honolulu community was called to mourn the loss of one of its foremost and worthiest citizens, and one whose life and activities had for many years been so closely interwoven with its various interests as to form a prominent element in it. As in the ease of so many men who have exerted a molding influence in the Hawaiian Islands, we go back to New England for the beginning of his career. Mr. Athtect. Mr. Bailey was especially interested erton's ancestors on his father's side were 5 English, and came to New England early in its history. An indication of their character is given in the fact that one of them, who was a Tory, and whose sympathies during the Revolutionary war were with the English, so that he refrained from taking part in the struggle, was yet held in such esteem by his American neighbors that after the war was over he was appointed a selectman in the New Hampshire town in which he lived. Early in the last century Mr. Atherton's father married a young woman of Scotch descent by the name of Eliza Robinson, who became the mother of nine children, of whom Joseph was the youngest. These children all grew to manhood and womanhood, although five of them died between the ages of 21 and 25 years. The only member of this family now living is Mrs. Sarah A. Gilman, the mother of Mr. J. A. Gilman and Miss Carrie A. Gilman, of this city. Mr. Atherton was born in Boston, Mass., November 9, 1837, and received his education there in the public schools. After leaving school he found employment in one of the wholesale commission houses of his native city, and remained in this position until he was forced to leave on account of a failure in health. ()n leaving his work in Boston, he made the long trip around Cape Horn, and in 1859 arrived in Honolulu, where he found a home in the family of Mr. S. N. Castle, and employment in the firm of Castle & Cooke. In this connection he spent the rest of his life, passing successively from the position of clerk to that of partner, and finally, in 1894, to the presidency of the firm. The original members of this firm were Messrs. S. N. Castle and A. S. Cooke, whose children and grandchildren constitute a large aid influential part of the business community in Honolulu today. The firm of Castle & Cooke became interested at an early date in the development of the sugar industry in the Islands, and thus Mr. Atherton naturally came to be closely identified with this business. He took a leading part in the starting and carrying on of several of the most important sugar plantations of the Islands, notably those of Ewa and Waialua. Later also he was one of the organizers and owners of the Bank of Hawai:, and in addition to these enterprises, he was interested in many smaller concerns, and filled important positions in them. The wide outreach of his energy and influence is seen in the fact that when he felt it to be his duty to lay down the burdens that he had carried, he resigned from thirty-nine organizations of different kinds in which he had been, in one way or another, concerned. This wide connection with different enterprise* �6 showed another marked equality in his disposition, namely, his ability to wortwith other men. As one of His neighbors said of him in this regard, he held his own opinions firmly, but he was nevei antagonistic; and for this reason his advice and co-operation were widely sought. None of the organizations, however, to which he belonged were political. While he believed in good government and lent his aid to all right measures, he remained essentially a business man, and took no part in politics beyond that of a faithful citizen. In his family life Mr. Atherton was ever kind and faithful. On June 29, 1865, he married Miss Juliette Montague Cooke, the daughter of one of his early employers in the firm of Castle & Cooke. Six children were born to them, of whom five are still living. These are Charles H. Atherton, now in his father's old firm; Frank C. Atherton, assistant cashier in the Bank of Hawaii; Alexander M. Atherton, a young physician ; Mrs. Mary Atherton Richards, and Miss Kate M. Atherton. The other child, a boy, died at the age of seven years. The home life thus constituted was of the happiest and most wholesome kind. The cares of business were never allowed to intrude; no matter what the anxieties or worries of the office or the market might be, they were not permitted to cast a shadow over the family circle. This was sacred to its members. Here the children were in the closest intimacy with their father, but in no careless or irreverent way. Obedience was required and rendered at the same time that youthful spirits were allowed full freedom of expression. As is usual in such cases, the family life was inspired and guided by Christian example and teaching. Family worship had its place in each day's duties. The children were required to commit to memory portions of Scripture and prepare the lesson for the Sunday school. Nor did the father's interest in the children cease with their childhood. It followed them in later years when they had gone from bom.-. In these absences he wrote a weekly letter to each one. giving all the newsy details of the home and community happenings, so that the child was kept in touch with the home life and its environment even when far away. The religious needs of the community always made a strong appeal to Mr. Atherton, and he identified himself with < hristian work from the beginning of his life here. He was, in all, twenty-one the superintendent of the Fort and Central Union Sunday Schools, and always, when not superintendent, he was a teacher. For this work he made careful preparation during the years Street THE FRIEND week, not leaving it till the last moments. As a member of the church also, he was faithful in attendance upon all its services. He served the two churches above mentioned as treasurer for twenty-two consecutive years. At prayer meeting, which is a test of faithful membership, he was invariably present when at home and in health. In the success of the Young Men's Christian Association, of which he was a charter member, he always took an interest, and helped it by his personal service as well as in other ways. He had served many years as a member of the Hawaiian Hoard, and was its president at the time his last illness came upon him. Through his connection with the Board he was brought into intimate relations with the different branches of its work. Ile was an advisor in the management of the Kohala and Kawaiahao Girls' Seminaries, as well as a large contributor to the work among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. In all this work of the Hawaiian Board he took a broad view. He believed in far-reaching and substantial methods, and, as all the workers under the Board know, he was always ready to listen to suggestions and to study plans mr a w se enlargement of the Board's work. He grasped the situation in its broader aspects, and for this reason was particula Iy helpful to all who sought his advice. These many connections with the religious and charitable institutions of the Islands led to many calls on his .generosity for financial aid. which was given with a free hand. Although possessed of large wealth, Mr. Atherton never used it for ostentatious display, either in his home or in his personal dress or habit.. He spent little for ornament or self-indulgence. He held that his possession of wealth was a stewardship, which he was to discharge for the highest ends. This led him to the belief that a man of wealth should dispense such a portion of it as is to be devoted to benevolence during his lifetime, instead of in legacies after bis death. He acted upon this principle and gave largely—how largely, perhaps few besides himself knew. One of his last acts of benevolence was the cancelling of a debt of the Hawaiian Hoard amounting to about $12,000. This was lone after he was taken ill. Mr. Atherton was not a literary man in the ordinary sense of the term, al■hough he was widely read in certain 'ines pertaining to his business, especially those relating to labor and mone\ oroblems. Hi contributed a characteristic article on"The Future Maintenance if Our Christian Work" to the American Board number of The Fkiknd. H: was a member also of the Social Science Club for many years. The last meeting ' -- of the Club before his illness was held at his house, and he read the paper of the evening. Mr. Atherton's whole life had been shadowed by a hereditary tendency to weakness of the lungs. This resulted last November in several severe hemorrhages, which left him in a very critical condition. He made a slow improvement, however, until some time later he was taken with an attack of the prevalent dengue fever, which, although he survived the attack, left him in a weakened condition, from which he had not the strength to rally, and he passed away on the evening of April 7th. His immediate family were all with him at the end, except his son Alexander, who reached home the next day. A funeral service, at which only the family and relatives were present, was held at the family residence on the afternoon of April Bth, and a public service was held in the Cential Union Church at 3 p. m. on April 9th.' An unusual mark of respect had been shown to Mr. Atherton in the lowering of the flags of all nationalities to halimast—those in the harbor, as well a. those up town. At the hour of the funeral the business houses in town were closed, and work on the plantations of which Mr. Atherton was president was suspended. The church was filled with the prominent people of the city and with many representatives of people from outside. The platform and organ loft were loaded with a profusion of flowers, which had been sent in by sympathizing friends, and many of which were wrought into elaborate and beautiful designs. In the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. \V. D. Westervelt r>flkiated, assisted by Dr. S. E. Bishop and Rev. G. L. Pearson, of the Methodist church. The services were simple and brief, and when they were over many of the friends ard townsmen of the deceased followed the urn to its last resting place in the old historic cemetery on the old Mission premises back of Kawaiahao church. Here it was deposited in the earth and the funeral services brought to a close. We make no attempt to sum up 'he results of Mr. Atherton's life and influence. This is never possible in the life of any gtxnl man ; such influences are too subtle and far-reaching. Hut we may safely say that his influence will be perpetuated and its power more and more felt as the causes for which he lived and which be strove to build up, extend their influence and show their results in char/. L. acter and living. "Truly it is not to those whom God loves most, not to His favorites, that he gives peace, prosperity, affluence, with cold, hard hearts."—Exchange. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. The recent death of Hon. J. H. Athertakes away one of the most persevering as well as one of the most helpful temperance workers in our Islands. He was treasurer and also one of the trustees of the Anti-Saloon League until stricken by his fatal illness. His advice in the executive committee meetings of the League was of great value. Mr. Atherton was identified with many temperance efforts during his life in Hawaii. It seemed to make little difference whether they were transient or not. Ile aided them while they lived. This is one of the best principles upon which to build a life of usefulness. Continued sowing and reaping and sometimes changing the character of the crop makes a farm productive. It is the sum of all the benevolent deeds which makes an eventful life. Mr. Atherton joined the in 1859, in this spirit. The original minutes of this unique society recently came into the writer's hands. It lived only two years. Its pledge allowed its members to stop drinking for six months or for one year. This pledge was to be renewed. The purpose was to encourage some of the poor fellows in Honolulu to make a fight with the hope of ultimate perseverance. Mr. Atherton anel Rev. Dr. Damon joined the society, pledging themselves not to drink intoxicants foi a year. The world needs more of this spirit of patiently aiding in little things. ton D WESTERVELT is working for the majority of his constituents while upholding the liquor. The old story is very much in point. Three young men were seated near a window in a crowded building. They decided that they wanted the winelow open. One of them opened it. Disapprobation was manifest on all sides, and the window was doted. The young rain scattered and began to send notes to the chairman of the meeting asking that this window be opened. The notes were multipled until the chairman announced that owing to the desire of the large majority of the people seated in a certain portion of the hall, he must order a certain window to be opened. No vote was called for —the three men had made themselves a majority. It is one of the rules of human nature that apparent realities ars tfae moat difficult to unveil. Hut just now and here in Hawaii the fears of having the question tested by any fair means is so self-evident that even a bat could see it, let alone a politician who wants to become a member of the next Legislature. The idea of "local option" has come to stay, and will be explained and discusse 1 throughout all these Islands before the next election. Besides the consideration of local option, the Legislature has acted upon what is known as the saloon keepers' bill and also upon the beer bill. The beer bill provided for licensing the sale of malt liquors alone for a license of $250. For some years past licenses have for "light wine, granted been beer, and ale" saloons. This bill was vetoed by Governor Dole because of its lack of restrictions. In the House, on a motion seconded by Jonah Kumalae, the bill was passed at once over the Governor's veto. In the Senate, on first ballot the veto was sustained, but Senator Achi, who voted against the veto, moved a reconsideration and finally won over one member so that the necessary twothirds was secured and the bill passed over the veto. It seems as if Senator. Achi's motion to reconsider was thoroughly illegal, and the epiestion concerning the right of government to issue license could easily arise in any court whenever any lawyer could thereby benefit his case. The status of liquor legislation, now that the Territorial Legislature has closed its session, is rather chaotic. The Local Option Bill was "laid on the table" in the Senate and never reached consideration in the House. This action was taken in the Senate by Senators Achi, Cecil Brown, J. T. Brown, Kaiue, Kalauokalani, and Woods; while Senators Baldwin, Dickey, Isenberg, Paris, and Wilcox favored passing the bill, Senators McCandless and Crabbe not voting. This position in regard to the fairest possible legislation shows that the liquor interests art completely united in their fear of allowing the majority of the voters any opportunity to express themselves by ballot. They claim that the majority of the people want liquor—but they do everything in their power to keep the majority from voting in favor of saloons. This is so evidently inconsistent The liquor bill of the saloon keepers that we wonder how any intelligent member of the Legislature can think he was the result of an effort to meet an 7 issue which many men think was made in the act of Congress by which the Territory of Hawaii was organized. This Organic Act remanded the liquor ques- tion to the Territorial Legislature for proper legislation. Failing tlefinite laws, the Territory would have no right to give licenses. Many prominent lawyers, as well as others, have held that this is a correct interpretation of the Orgaiv.c Act. The Anti-Saloon League even prepared to test the case last fall, but finally decided not to press the matters because the session of the Legislature was not far off. The saloon keepers' bill suffered many vicissitudes. It was fairly well amended in the Senate and then, for some inexplicable reason, was held up in the House day after day. It was not because the majority of the members of the House favored temperance. As a matte-; of fact, it was difficult to get the House to pass any restriction on the sale of intoxicants. The House even passed "the bill for Sabbath breaking"—which was killed in the Senate. Whatever the motive might be. the bill was held up in the House and at last passed after conference by both Senate and House, in the rush of the close of the legislative session —too late to receive the signature of the Governor and become a law. This leaves the question open as to the legality of licensing any saloons. In all legislation concerning liquors, gambling, Sabbath breaking, and the more vicious forms of vice, the two native ministers, Kaili and Oili, stood firm as a rock. These Hawaiians had backbone, even if they couldn't influence the other native Legislators. As a rule, the natives "talked" temperance and voted for the saloon. They injured themselves more than any other people, fjr they could not deceive any one concerning their real character. Due honor should be given to those who stood firm. Mr. Theodore Richards has been studying one of the most beneficial movements of modern courts of justice for the purpose of lessening crime. Juvenile courts are being established, in which the young offender is treateel to a system of probation as well as to a fear of the penalty for wrong doing. The judge in the juvenile court has the right to suspend sentence and compel the chilel to make regular reports, properly certified, in regard to the every day life. The result has been very beneficial in lessing crime and leading to the development of good characters. �THE FRIEND 8 GENERAL COMMENT BY W. L.

For this great good fortune we are indebted principally to Mr. P. L. Weaver, whose indefatigable labor in behalf of the bill has carried it through. This should earn for him the enduring thanks of the community. Time and space prohibit us from so much as touching on the multitude of interesting and excellent changes made in our statute books. Many of them show the hand of our Chief Justice, and are the result of great and untiring work. His name will long be remembered, and the work he has done in framing the laws will have a most lasting effect on the administration of justice among us. Turning from the political to the.commercial side of our life here, we find that we have not yet recovered our former prosperity, and that we are still living in hard times. We have also discovered that we are under the heel of the Sugar Trust, and that for every pounel of sugar sent to the mainland we are being mulcted a half a cent. The only comfort we get, and small comfort it is, lies in the fact that we are in large and good company antl that all the cane sugar producing world is being squeezed even as we. Great quantities of sugar lie at our docks waiting for bottoms, and the price may rise before it reaches its destination. We have every reason to believe, however, that the mighty trust will see to it that such is not the case, and we may expect with confidence that no matter what the price may be between now and then, it will suddenly drop when any large quantity of sugar appears off Delaware Breakwater. The sisal industry is claiming more and more attention and the reports that come from the markets show that the Hawaiian fiber is to have from the first a high rating and a steady demand. More than to any one else, praise is due to Mr. Turner of Sisal, Ewa, for his untiring and persistent labor in introducing the sisal and placing its culture on a sound commercial basis, and the country may yet rise up and call him blessed. We have suffered from a boom7"we are now feeling its results, but the integrity and high moral standing of our business community will yet carny us through and we shall be a happier and, let us hope, a wiser people than when sugar stocks were selling at five times their value and land at a figure which would make the brokers of New York and London blush. �9 THE FRIEND The Vantage Ground of Integrity George McDonald, in the story oi David Elginbrod, has a fine passage in which his hero is made to relate his feelings at the death of his father. Translated out of the broad Scottish dialect in which it is written, it reads as follows: "When my father died I remember well. I was so proud to see him lying there in the cold grandeur of death, and no man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him, that I just gloried in the midst of my tears. He was but a poor old shepherd, with hair as white as the sheep that followed him; and, truly, as they followed him, he followed the Great Shepherd ; and he followed and followed till he just followed him home." The thought of the passage is humble in its setting, but profound in its significance. The old shepherd had found out a lift secret that not only brought him triumphantly through its cares and temptations, but whose nobility and power were reflected back upon his son. Nor is the picture an impossible one. We can all think of lives to which it will, with little or no modification, apply. Still, this would be the exception rather than the rule. How often in our own personal experience are we haunted with the thought that we have not lived up to our best, so that if the truth were spoken of us, it could not be said, "No man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him." Even in Christian work, with all our multiplied organizations and machinery, how often comes the sense that the something in ourselves, «/hich would give life and vigor to it all, is lacking? Moreover, in too many lives, in all departments of effort, are there open manifestations of failure, so that the words of the novelist gain their force more from the lower side of life which they suggest than from the higher side which they depict. Now in all such feelings and types of life there is weakness revealed. We instinctively feel that such lives are not able to stand the test—that if called to give account of themselves they would fail; and the question is forced upon us, is there any vantage ground which an earnest soul can occupy, and in which it shall be master over the circumstances of its environment? In which, in the loss of all material things, and even of reputation itself, it shall still be secure against final defeat? It is clear at once that if there be sue« a stronghold it lies in the realm of the moral rather than the material. No plan of life that takes in all the facts and gives assurance of final success can be built on life's physical relations alone. Man is a spiritual and immortal being whose very nature is attuned to the principles of righteousness and demands integrity of moral character as a condition of its highest welfare. True success in life attaches to that part which endures. This is not the material. All human experience teaches that men have no teal hold on the material. It is theirs for only a short time at the most, and then is taken from them, and they are ushered into the realm of the spiritual and eternal. It is among these that they find, if at all, the vantage ground from which no power can drive them. This is true because it is in this realm that we find the powers that are omnipotent and immutable; and these powers are on the side of righteousness. This is finely suggested in the exultant ques tion of the Apostle Peter when, after saying that "the eyes of the Lord arc over the righteous and his ears are open into their prayers," he flings out, almost as a challenge, the query, "Who is it that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?" How this brings us back to the old shepherd, who followed his Master, and "followed and followed till he just followed him home." A follower of that which is good. Here is the secret of his victorious life, and here we meet the assurance that behind every life founded on truth and righteousness is the love and omnipotent power of God. To such a life there can be no failure. It moves steadily on through the mutations of material things without disturbance, and faces, at last, the issues of eternity without fear. To be a follower of that which is gocxi is, therefore, to be linked to the power that rules, the power under which righteousness shall ultimateunder which ly triumph, and no soul that has stood firmly for its own integrity will ever suffer loss or have cause to fear. This is an impregnable position. In the case of the one who is conscious of some lack or weakness in himself, there is some test which has not been met, and from which there is a shrinking. In the consciousness of having met the last requirement of the moral nature, there is also the assurance of safety. He who has this consciou.ness knows that his highest interests are secure, no matter what may happen in the sphere of material things. It gives strength to his convictions, and power to his actions. It shifts the goal of life from the realm of the temporary and unstable to that of the immutable and eternal. It thus helps him to see things their real value and in their true relations. The wealth or position which, by one who holds a lower view of life, woule be counted success, to him are but an incident or an added opportunity ant means for a higher service to the world. The checks and failures which arise from the limitations of human power or wisdom, and which the world counts as defeats, are not necessarily so to him. Many times they are the evidence of wise overruling on the part of the powers above him, in the interests of a higher and more beneficent result. It is. clear that one who holds this position, holds a position of high advantage. As a follower of tha which is good, his associations wil be only with those things that are most uplifting and helpful, and in these associations lower anel baser things will more and more lose their power to appeal to him. As he gives to the world and tt God, he will gain for himself. In rea influence, power and self-respect he wil increase as the greatness of his vantage ground is more and more revealed to his own understanding. From this vantage ground, too, personal power and influence can best be exerted on others. The great enterprises and reforms that are to save the world and bring in the better day, must be wrought out by those who occupy this high position. "A thing is never settle* till it is settled right," someone has said clearly this is an inehcation of a latent feeling that men have that integrity must finally prevail and that there must come at last a "new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.' Any position in which the moral integrity is not maintained is weak. One may bolster it up in the guise of respectability, but he cannot save it. Sooner or later it will fail. Whoever sacrifices his integrity in unscrupulous methods of business or over-reaches or oppresses in any way his fellow-men has thrown down his defences and in due time the enemy will carry them. When anyone, from long familiarity with the practices o wicked men around him, has learned to condone their offences and to tolerate them as not so bad after all, he has put his vantage ground in danger. There can be no compromise with evil, or excusing of it. The man who would keep the integrity of his soul must guard it as never an army guarded its fortifiee positions, for every position is weak except the one in which he is completely master. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life " are the words of Old Testament wisdom. at �THE FRIEND 10 "Who is he that will harm you if ye be follower of Jesus Christ, as was George. of the United States Magnetic Station at followers of that which is good," is th.

NOTES FROM THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION Mr. Delaporte, under several dates in January, writes: Several hundred persons more than last year now attend worship. Our church has attained a membership of ninety-eight, and there are many canditlates for baptism. At a service a few days ago we counted all the followers of our work, and found that 974 persons are worshipers at our different stations; 932 people were present at that service. This is a very good showing out of a total population of, say, 1,500. May God save and truly convert these people. At our monthly meeting in August, and at our farewell meeting before leaving for Kusaie, nearly one hundred heathen men, women antl children came and publicly announced that they had forsaken their heathen gods and idols, and that from now on they wantetl to serve and learn about the meek and lowly Nazarene. For two nights, while we were waiting and watching for the steamer, the poor people would not leave us; hundreds of them slept in the schoolhousc and in the mission yard, waiting to give us a final handshake when the steamer should be , t» in sight. The reception the people gave us on our return was equally hearty—so different from the reception we receivetl November 9, 1899, when we first landed. Since our return seventy-six persons have repented and desire baptism. Thus we have a total of perhaps 180 who have forsaken heathenism since last September. We have now three church buildings —one at Oro, another at Ewa, and a third at Meneng, and a chapel at Buata. Another chapel is in course of construction at Anibare. E Babo, the most powerful ghostwoman in the past, was baptized at oit'last communion. This was a signal victory. But two years ago no one would have thought this possible. She has made a good confession; What this meant only the woman herself knows. No more presents, no more power or sway over the people, and, above all, she had to acknowledge before all the people the frauds she had practiccel on them in former tlays. To win such an one for ( hrist gives us encouragement indeed. Three day-schools are still maintained by the mission. Most of the children are very faithful, and cause us little or no trouble. It has been hard work to teach at three different stations, but God gave us the needed strength, and we were * While The glad to do it. Many old people, who otherwise would not have come to our services, have been brought to meeting and led to repentance through the influence of the children who attend school. In order to give some children the same opportunities as at Jaluit, we opened a German school when we came back from Kusaie, of which I took charge. The year 1902 was full of literary work. During the year we translated, printed and bounel the gospels of Matthew and John, and the Epistles to the Galatians, First and Second Timothy and the Three Epistles of John. Besides the above, a little hymn-book containing sixty-six hymns has been prepared. As we had no printing press, we decided to accept Messrs. Channon's and Rife's invitation to come over to Kusaie, 400 miles from here, and have our books printed there. In two months and six days our work there was done. Dr. Rife printed some, while Mr. Channon and the Gilbert Island boys tlid the rest. Mr. Channon also bound 225 copies of the Scriptures and the 500 hymn-books, leaving but 275 of the portions of the New Testament to be bounel at Nauru. We were glad to be able to bring to our people such a valuable Christmas present as these Scriptures and hymn-books are. Last The AMERICAN BOARD (December) NUMBER of THE FRIEND To secure the widest possible recognition of AMERICAN BOARD work in the Islands Send 1 1 in stamps with address to Manager Friend I Lv ioc P. O. Box 489 �THE FRIEND Dr. Rife very kindly let me have a young man to assist us as a teacher fcr a period of three years. The young man and his wife are very bright, and will, I trust, make good workers. We plan that the contributions of the native church will be devoted toward the support of these helpers, and we must be very economical. If any one in the home-land should feel like making a special annual donation towards the expenses of the training and day schools, I am sure that the treasurer of the Pleasant Island Mission, Rev. O. H. Gulick, would forward it to us. Will you not pray that Pleasant Island may be fully won for Christ? There still remains much to be done. The deacon of our church but a few years ago killed several men; another chief wdio lately suffered for Christ's sake was one of the most wicked men on the island. Still another Christian, the chief whom we baptized the other tlay, in the most cold-blooded manner shot and killed a woman, and also tried to kill the infant which she held in her arms. Last Sabbath this same infant, now a young woman, and the man who tried to kill her some years ago, both came for the first time to the Lord's table. Men who only two or three years ago were leaders of the immoral south sea dances are denouncing them today. and would not even think of permitting their children to look on. Men and women who gave their very last possessions to their heathen priests and doctors us. laugh at them now. And yet there arc those who declare that Christian missions are a failure! The people themselves contributed during 1902 something like $140 towards the support of native teachers, training school and church. Not a bad showing, considering the fact that they only get $1.50 for a thousand cocoanuts, and many people have to carry their nuts two or three miles to the next trading l ation. Mrs. Delaporte and I have each of us traveled more than a thousand miles on our bicycles during the past year in going to and from our out-stations and in visiting the people. Mrs. Delaporte, at the time of writing this, and for about two months past, has been far from well. Tf we had the means and opportunity, I would send her for a season to a cool climate to recuperate, although I doubt very much that she could be induced to go. She loves these 1-cople, and I believe it woulel be a sad day for her if she had to leave them. I'.oth our little ones arc well and strong, and give us much joy. At the close of this letter I must most sincerely thank all the friends who have so faithfully helped to maintain this nission with their means and prayers. May our Heavenly Father, in His own time and manner, recompense you all. THE END OF AN UNPLEASANT EPISODE Sidney Casseroles are made of what is known as French fire-proof ware—a heavy poroelain.

Gulick It may not be amiss to make a slight record of an episode that has been far from pleasant. It happened thus. I went with my family to a beach near Imabari in September, 1901, foi ten days' sea bathing, taking with me my kodak. Shortly after using it one day in public a policeman called, informed me that I had broken the laws, as we were then within two miles of a fort, and all such things are proscribed within a radius of seven and a half miles. He wanted to see my views. As they were still undeveloped, I let him take my plates, and they were developed by the police department. Omitting many details, after a preliminary examination I was cited to appear in person at the Matsuyama local court. As the case was perfectly simple I employed no lawyer. The attorney for the State, after describing my crime, asked that I be fined ten yen and have my camera confiscated. I minutes in spoke thirty reply, asserting my innocence. I mentioned the lack of suitable notice boards, the publicity of my carrying my kodak, and of my taking the 13 photographs without receiving a hint from any one of my wrong-doing—although some one went to the neighboring village to inform the police. I pointed out that the police had themselves developed the photos, my act being therefore incomplete, and I also urged the failure of the pictures to show anything except my children in bathing clothes and in a boat with an old pine tree in the back ground. These all proved tuy innocence. If, under the circumstances, the law required my punishment, as 00 crime could be lighter than mine, the penalty should be the lightest allowed. Judgment was pronounced that aftetnoon, namely, the confiscation of only the plates and a fine of five yen. I supposed that would end the matter, but the Procurator appealed on behalf of the State. A month later I was accordingly summoned to appear before the Hiroshima a Court of appeals, where I second time. This time, following ccrtmsel, I had the help of a lawyer, but with no apparent effect; the Prosecuting Attorney asked that the fine be five yen, but that the entire camera be confiscated; I made the same pleas as before, and the lawyer also made his appeal, but the judgment rendered was in accord with the request of the Prosecuting Attorney. In the meantime I had been to Tokyo, seen friends and two or three lawyers, and conferred with the United States Minister, the late Colonel Buck ; they all thought in view of the disabilities attaching to one who had been convicted of a crime, I would better make every effort to have the courts pronounce me innocent. When the second judgment" was rendered I accordingly appealed to the Supreme Court, but without result, the judgment of the Hiroshima court being confirmed. Eight months after the matter was settled in Tokyo I received word from my Hiroshima lawyer saying that the camera would be sold to the highest bidder, and that I might make a bid. I accordingly did so, and have now received word that my bid of five yen was successful. After eighteen months lying in government hands I now get my camera back again, bringing this unpleasant episode to an end. It suggests reflections which may perhaps as well be left unrecorded. But it may not be amiss to note that this law forbidding the taking of all pictures within certain prescribed distances of forts is a law working not only to the serious inconvenience and expense of many wholly unsuspecting and innocent foreigners, but is also a great and absolutely needless burden on countless Japanese who live within the prescribed limits; for they are not allowed to do many things on their own prop- �THE FRIEND 14 erty without military permission. For instance a farmer whose land may be hidden away between two hills whollyinvisible from either sea or fort is liable to a fine if he plots his land, or levels it, or even removes an insignificant shed from one part to another without receiving authority from the military office, which may be miles distant. Not omy is the law a heavy burden on the farming people, and the cause of much ill-will among the innocent traveling public, but it is absolutely useless in accomplishing the end in view, namely, to prevent an enemy from gaining military knowledge of the surroundings of forts.

Waterhouse for Oahu, and Judge Kahele for Kauai. Maui's speaker is yet to be chosen. The churches of Kawaihae-luka and Kawaihae-Kai, which in 1864 and 1865 were set apart from the parent church at Waimea, have been again united with it by vote of the Association, which met at Kapoho. Puna, March 5-7, of this year. The church buildings have been repaired and the people arc preparing for the meeting of the Association to be held in Kawaihae the third week in September.

IN MEMORIAM An Mi-: Day KeILOOG She came to us to take charge of the [apanesc Kindergarten in Honolulu—a frail, lovely girl, with sweet voice and beautiful eyes that brightened with happy merriment or dimmed with tender pity. Her whole heart was in her work, whether she was laughing with the littiv ones in their games, or soothing their cries with her gentle voice; for she loved them when they were merry and gay, am: when they wire fretful and unhappy. No need was too trivial for her sympathy: no little one's hurt too repulsive for the ministering of her hands. After kindergarten hours she- visited the dark homes of her pupils —homes where little of such She gathered sweet light penetrated. the children into Sunday school; shetaught in the Japanese night school; she even found time to study the Japanese language, in order that she might reach the very he-arts of the people whose homes she was visiting. When the time came for her return, although urged to remain, she felt that a daughter's duty called her home. The Japanese showed their deep appreciation of her work at their "Farewell Good-bye Party." where they expressed their gratitude in parting addresses, and in the costly present* which they had brought her. She left our sunny shores, that had made her stronger, but kept in that "inner mind" their beauties, which sin- said would be hers always. Brave and true, we had known her, holding up lit r head, fighting pain with sunny cheerfulness — the flower was too frail! For us in Hawaii she came and went, but only angels can tell of all the brightness left by that sweet, womanly presence. WAIMEA Undoubtedly the district of Waimea, on the Island of Hawaii, is one of the most healthy spots of the entire Territory. On the 2nd day of December, 1829, it was visited by a deputation of the American mission then established in the Islands. This deputation was composed of Messrs. Judd, Green. Andrews and Chamberlain, and their purpose was to explore the country and locate a sanitarium. Three spots were spoken of in their report as worthy of consideration, nanie- ly, Kealii. These Puukapu. Waikoloa and spots were located relatively to the three streams which flow down from the Kohala mountains, and on the 30th of January, iSjO, Dr. Judd and Mr. Ruggles were appointed '"to go to Waiiiua and immediately commence an establish ment." The spot they chose was near the Waikoloa stream, where later the present home of father Lyons was located. In those early days its climate must have been tempered by the forests that covered the Kohala hills and stretched to the eastward down across the \\ aimea plains as far as the I laniakiia forests. We have vivid remembrance of a day spent in 1863 floundering through those forests on our way from Waimca village- to Kuktiihacle. We had to have a guide, the road was so indistinct and difficult and so frequently crossed by cattle trails. Indeed, so hidden was it from the sun by arching trees and giant ferns that it was hardly better than a morass, into which our horses would sometimes sink almost to their saddle girths. The traveler who now passes that way, ."fter passing through the homestead fgion, will find an open plain with only the stumps and roots of the forinei dense forest. For miles upon miles the country is bare of trees and wind-swept. This destruction of the forest is the work of vast herds of cattle that for more than a generation have been pastured there. The only hope for a restoration of these forests is in the homesteader, the winfence and the paddock. What can be done by these is evident to the traveler - pACIFIC HARDWARE CO., Importers and Jobbers Ltd. of GFNERAL MERCHANDISE. Fori Street.

How to spend it profitably, economically and restfully, are the questions which many people will be trying to answer within the next few weeks. We wish a happy time to all.

The fact seems to be fully established that high continental land extends to the Southern pole.

Of the four men above named, only one, Mr. Athas a "missionary erton, was known man," or actively affiliated to missionary work. An impression prevails, both here and abroad, that the sons of missionaries have absorbed a large part of the wealth of these Islands. It is perhaps true that such men and those closely affiliated to them are disproportionately numerous among our capitalists. The Passing �4 THE FRIEND This might be expected front their relatively superior person*] character. But in fact, they form probably less than one-fourth of the whole number of our wealthy men. The other three-fourths are men who hold no special relation to missionary circles or their work. As a rule, our "missionary" capitalists hold their wealth for the public good, munificently applying it without ostentation to the great variety of beneficent work which here so loudly calls for their aid. We heartily pray that all of our capitalists may invest largely in heavenly stocks and bonds.

Perhaps the heaviest call is for enlarged waterworks. An old scheme has been revived to meet the need, by constructing a large reservoir in upper Xuuanu to impound the storm waters, which mainly run to waste. It is expected that by means of several hundred feet of fall from that reservoir, electric power can be secured of not less than 700 horse power. This advantage may preponderate against what many have believed to be the preferable plan of establishing more pumping stations from artesian wells, which yield an cxhaustless supply of perfectly pure water. In any case, there seems propable an early enlargement of our city water supply. Another equally needed, and perhaps more costly line of improvement is that of deepening our harbor and enlarging our dock room. The deepest ships we can now accommodate draw thirty feet and those only in very limited sections of the harbor, while the depth of only thirty feet in the harbor channel forbids such strips crossing the bar in bad weather. Hut such a limitation will not answer if Honolulu is to entertain the large ships now preparing to cross the Pacific. Very extensive and costly plans are already in progress for deepening the whole area of the harbor to thirty feet, while the passage and other portions shall go down to perhaps thirty-five feet. With this are plans, perhaps not yet fully developed, of excavating- two or more immense docks capable of holding the largest steamers These docks would cross the present waterfront, extending inland to Allen street, and obliterating the Custom House and coal and lumber grounds below Allen street.

Dr. and Mrs. Scudder arrived from Japan, and have entered at once Upon their work for the Japanese in Hawaii, under the auspices of the Hawaiian Hoard.

He was a graduate of Princeton College, and went out as a missionary to India in 1819, a few months before the sending of the first missionaries, Thurston and Hingham, of the American Board, to Hawaii. Dr. John Scudder had fourteen children, seven sons and two daughters of whom grew to years of maturity, and all entered upon missionary work in India. These seven sons were all at one time members of the Arcot Mission in that country. One of these sons, the Rev. Tared W. Scudder. with seven children of the third generation, are now in service as missionaries there, while two others, of the third generation, not now living, have been missionaries in that wide field. Three of this third generation of the family have been missionaries in Japan, namely Dr. Doremus Scudder, his sister, Miss Catherine S. Scudder, and his cousin Rev. Frank S. Scudder, who is still there in Xagano. Dr. Henry M. Scudder, the father of Dr. Doremus Scudder, s]XMit ten years of bis boyhood and twenty years of his missionary life, in India. One of his books.

His health failing so that he could no longer live in India, he came to America and was for a few yeais pastor of a large church in San largest Congregational churches in the stale, and one of the oldest, it having been founded in l<>42. Being a pastor of a large church in the vicinity of Boston, the very head'centre of Congregationalism, he was called to fill many positions of trust and responsibility, some of which were the following: He was a Trustee of the Woburii fret library; a member of the Executive Hoard of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, which was in fact a foreign missionary society before the American Hoard was organized, and was really the mother of the Congregational Home Missionary Society; he was one of the Hoard of Directors of the Congregational House in Boston; and was also one of the managers of the Congregational library whose headquarters is in the Congregational building: and for some years was a member of the Labor Committee of the State Association of Massachusetts, which had much to do with the securing of a Sunday rest for laborers, safe-guarding the laborers' Sunday. To this busy man came the call in the Autumn of 1901 from the Hawaiian Hoard to come to Hawaii for the work of giving the gospel to the thousands of Japanese who are tilling our borders, and whose children will ere long he the most abounding element in our public schools. 11<- accepted the call with the proviso that he should be allowed a year's time in Japan in which to regain his knowledge of the Japanese language. He and his wife arrived here in February, 1902, and now, after fifteen months in Japan, are among us for genuine missionary gospel work. They are receiving the warmest welcome from all who apreciate the gospel as the power of God for the saving of mankind.

Found the schools assembled for examination. Examined the scholars, addressed them and prayed with them, and after taking a little refreshment, prepared to pursue our way. Our company now consisted of Kaahuinanii, in a small cart, drawn by a mule, with several female attendants, and a numerous train of servants loaded with baggage, such as cloth< s. bedding, food, cooking utensils, etc.. etc., of myself, and six or eight native teachers on horseback. Several of the female attendants of the Queen rode on horseback. As I have but one attendant, one or two more were assigned me to take care of my horse, and assist in carrying my baggage. After riding a few miles, some of the time through water up to the pads of our saddles, we stopped taking to examine a school, and after food, and drinking water from silver goblets, in a small grass hut, pursued our course along a large fishpond, through tall grass up to our horses' backs. Uefore we arrived at our lodging place we were obliged to lead our horses up a Steep, rough hill. The Queen's cart was carried up by hand. We arrived about dark at a few small, miserable houses near the seashore. One of them was soon made empty lor her ladyship and myself. < hit field bedsteads were soon prepared, and partitions were made by hanging up cloth, and after taking a cup of tea, singing a hymn, and commending ourselves to the care of our Heavenly Father, we laid down to rest. We arose in the morning much refreshed. Kaahumanu inquired if I slept warm, and on learning that I did not, she charged me in future to call upon her for more clothes, as she could easily furnish them. After breakfast and prayers, we pursued our way over a rough road, leading our horsey, which were unshod, over a footpath made by laving down loosely, large, rough stones. We soon arrived at a steep precipice. 1 gave up my horse and made my way down. The horses were led round another way, but down a very steep, rough precipice.

After the scholars had exhibited in reading and writing. the people assembled in the open air, and after a good address from Kaahumanu, and a short one from myself, a prayer was offered by a native teacher. We pursued our way a few miles further, with a lofty precipice on one side, and the sea �THE FRIEND 6 where We found two houses neatly prepared for our reception.

After breakfast I rode across the extefl sive plain of Kailtia, and ascended a high hill opposite the precipice of Kootau, described by Mr. Stewart. This hill afforded a view of all this part of the island. The prospect was truly romantic. <)n the north, rolled the waters of the Pacific; on the south, a precipice many thousand feet high, extended from east to west as tar as the eye could reach. <)n the west was Kaneobe, an extensive tract of low land, intet'-.persed with numerous cottage's. On the east was the extensive plain of Kailua, partly intersected by a stream of water and one or two ponds, and bordered by clusters of house's. From this place' the eastern bluff of the island was distinctly visible. The prospect presented numerous mountains running in different directions, and separated by deep ravines. I descended from the high summit where I stood, not without some difficulty, as I was obliged to hold on by the grass to keep from falling. I arrived about noon at my lodging place, and found a man about to cross the precipice of Koolau to Honolulu, and embraced the opportunity to write to Mary. In the afternoon we examined nearly 200 scholars, talked to them, eve. Kaahumanu expects the -M-onle wherever we stop to attend to instruction and to the word of God, to cast off their old ways and turn to the new, to have nothing to do with the Jesuits, hut to attend to the instruction of the teacher who is with her, and his associates.

As my horse was a small hard-going one, she assigned me a much better one, which carries me as easy as any horse 1 ever rode. Feb y 7th. Sabbath evening. This has been a pleasant Sabbath. The weather is exceedingly fine and everything around seems to proclaim the goodness of the Creator. I have preached twice in the open air to 1500 or 2000 hearers, who listened with attention to the words of eternal life. After the second service was concluded, two persons were united in marriage. I have seldom spent a Sabbath more to my satisfaction, although 1 have no one with whom I can converse in my native tongue. On walking out this evening, it was pleasant to hear the voice of prayer ascending from the grass cottages. What hath Cod wrought?

W. D WESTERVELT The Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu has published several important pamphlets, which are ready for free distribution. The W. C. T, V., through its president, Mrs. J. M. Whitney, has also sent out a very important addition to the temperance literature of the islands. These pamphlets are usually in English, al- though two have been translated into Hawaiian. The Japanese have a paper published by Rev. T. Okuniura, which lends its influence powerfully in the cause of temperance. The Japanese have the largest temperance society in the Territory. suffered little change, owing to the failure of the Legislature of 1903 to secure the passage of proposed hills, except in regard to the manufacture and sale of malt liquors. These laws were in force before annexation. The Organic Act touched the question of the sale of liquors in a rather indefinite manner, leaving strong doubt in the minds of many persons as to the real status of any saltions, except as laws should be passed subsequent to the Organic Act. It is thought that no saloons, except those handling malt liquors, would have to pay license, if the case came before the Supreme Court for decision. Until that question is decided, however, the past laws are treated as the final authority, and their compilation is of great value. This summary of Liquor Laws, fairly well indexed, is for free distribution from the Anti-Saloon League headquarters, No. 5 Mclntyre building. It would be aelvisahle for those interested to take their copies and mark the laws which arc frequently broken, and thus have an easy and quick method of reference. 7 ten per cent, alcoholic strength."

(3) Nor can any such saloon be located "within 150 feet of the premises used as a school or church and occupied and used as such." The word "premises" means not only the room wherein the bar is placed, but the entire place covered by the license. It is thoroughly against the law to permit children to enter the doors of the saloon, and certainly there can be no question of violation eif law when a child or large boy, under age, enters and returns with a pail of foaming beer. It does not seem to be at all necessary to prove that the child purchased the beer. The only fact requiring proof is that the child was allowed to enter and take the liquor. Section 5 of Act 24, states the penalty of the violation of this law as follows: "Section 5.

WHITNEY Ithardly seemed possible and not at all probable that we should find the Legislature with us at the end of this month. Hut each day We read that the session is dragging on and doing little or nothing, and still the long looked for "understand"ing" between the two houses has not been reached. The Legislature is sunnosed to be at work on the appropriation bill, that is all. and only the appropriations for the next six months are under discussion; hut either because they fear that in that brief period they cannot spe'iid sufficient money, or for some other reason, more than usual trouble is found in agreeing on the amounts. The emergency bill has been passed and approved, however, and we are promised that it will not be long before the regular appropriation hill will go to the governor for his approval, Meanwhile business conditions remain unchanged. By some it is thought that there is a better feeling among business nun, that the financial outlook is better than it has been. C (thers seem hopless of any immediate change for the better. From an era of large extravagances in the formation and erection of new sugar plantations and of free-handed expenditure by the older companies, we have swung to the other extreme, as is well shown by the action of one of our best companies in paying off its bonds. Only extreme and, it would seem to outsiders, unreasonable caution would dictate a policy of paying off bondholders who do not want to be paid, with money which hundreds of stockholders are clamoring to he' paid as dividends. That a company with a capital stock of $5,000,000, and on a dividend paying basis, should, in a year of extreme depression, at one swoop clear off a fifth of its bonded indebtedness, is, to say the least, remarkable. But it shows the state of mind of of our business community, and so long as this feeling exists, money is not going to circulate freely or trade revive to any We hate received this mouth a call from Mr. Sargent, the' Immigration Commissoner of the United States. His brief stay in Honolulu was marked with hard and earnest work and we may well believe' 'hat he has gone into our labor problem more deeply than most of those who, stopping on our shores for a few days, go away to write learnedly of the curse' of Asiatic labor and the need of the small fanner. We' do need the small farmer. The morning paper is correct in all its says of our need of him, and from a purely selfish point of view we hope that someone will take it seriously and come this way. Hut much as we need him, the small fanner, we should sooner have some one else's friends and relations try the experiment. In a land where the tly stingeth, where the canker worm and tin. CUt worm much destroyeth, where the laud is assessed at twice and thrice' its value, where' aphis, scale and hug, moth and miller unite to make it interesting for the agriculturist, on such soil, and in such a land there seems no great chance eif ease or affluence in the small farming line. Producing for a town where a couple of boxes of beans will Hood the' market, where' crops, no matter how beautiful, cannot be sold at all, where the nearest large consumer is 2100 miles away, is discouraging and sometimes disheartening, and we fear that it will be some time before our hills and valleys spread like one vast garden beneath the hands of thousands of solid substantial farmers. That money can be made here by one directly in sugar planting, however, is well shown by the life, and fortune of Mr. S. C. Allen, who this month has been suddenly taken from us.

The bar has regained what the' Territory has lost, and Mr. Cooper will no doubt add much to the already high standing of our foremost lawyers, And this is a time' when men of large legal experience and clear brain are to be needed in our practice. The Act of Congress which gave us our present gov eminent also restricted our sugar plantations in their possession of land to one' thousand acres. Hitherto it has been thought that this law could be easily evaded by merger or consolidation. Jusl now, however, there is much doubt among lawyers whether under the derision in the now famous Northern case' on the mainland such consolidatiorCwill be possible. Meanwhile, the merger of Ihe Brewer plantations, that is, those plantations for whom C. Brewer and Coin pany, Limited, is agent, seems to have fallen through. No great enthusiasm was shown .in the movement even at its inception, and many things seem to point to the wisdom of not for the immediate present undertaking the proposition. It has seemed inevitable that those plantations which were most nearly connected should, in this age of consolidation, unite. Such action has been delayed here probably longer than in any other place when1 so much money was invested in the same' industry within so small an area. Tin fact, however, is that the greatest cause leading others to unite', namely, the fierce- strife amounting to a cut-throat strugle for existence, which generally characterizes the competition between large and moneyed corporations, has been lacking in Hawaii. In our business life here we have been one large family, and most of our moneyed men have' been interested in many, rather than in a single one, of our sugar plantations. It is as interesting as it is astonishing to glance through the lists of stockholders of our various plantations and see not only what numbers of shareholders there are to each company, but also how the same names appear on almost every list. It speaks well, too, for the general integrity of the management that the people are willing to put their money into so many plantations, of most of which they can know nothing personally. So long as this condition exists, there will be little need of, and probably as little, merger consolidation or monopolization of sugar interests in Hawaii. �9 IHK FRIEND The price of sugar, as predicted last that it will occur after our sugar has been great steamer could not come up to the month, lias not varied to any extent, and safel\ landed and in the hands of the wharf for the low state of the tide, so at no rise has occurred worthy of note.

We had hoped that we would not be obliged to make any change until we were ready to take the Institute for Ciirls to Madrid, but the commodious house that we had occupied for so long a time was sold over our beads anil finite suddenly WC were oh liged to move. We found a house' well located, not so large as we needed but with a line and spacious garden in the rear. A large part of the furniture and books that had been brought from San Sebastian was packed anil sent to Madrid to be held there in storage until we should arrive there. By a division of labor, the pack- ing and noting of contents and shipping of over three hundred parcels large and small was performed by Mrs. Culick and her aids, while others continued with the care of the pupils and the classes, so thai there was very little if am interruption in the school life and duties. It was a great task, and tested severely the' strength of all, but we were thankful that Providence had provided us with so good a temporary home. Especially do the girls enjoy the- spacious and beautiful garden. This house however is taken only until the summer season, when the landlady will nearly double the rental. We there- fore will close the' school the middle of to their homes. Eighteen of them will go to Madrid to pass the examinations in the Government Institute ami the rest will go immediately home. As some of you perhaps know, we have bought in Madrid a very desirable' lot that had on it an old house. This building is being enlarged and altered for the school uses, but is not large' enough to receive the thirtv-fivc or forty pupils. It is therefore the plan that when the girls gather atrain for the new school year, in (October, they shall occupy hired premises near Madrid until such time as the new and larger building shall he completed, and the inauguration of the school in Madrid proper will not be attempted until it can be done with a measure of completeness. Meanwhile the' old building, reformed, will be used for a limited number engaged in Special work. In the course' of the development of this educational project for young women in Spain we have been encouraged by the warm expression of interest on the pail of influential Spanish scholars and educators, some of whom are members of the Parliament, and by newfriendships formed in influential circles. This is cause of great thankfulness on our part, and among other things is a promise of an enlarged influence and usefulness of the Institute. The work among our several statiops June, sending the girls in the north of Spain, to which the larger part of my time and strength is given, is increasingly prosperous. It is a distinctively evangelistic work, but, thirty odd wars' experience in this field has demonstrated the efficacy as an evan- gelistic agency of a vigorous educational department connected with each and all of the stations. In these mission schools, nine-tenths of the pupils iii which are from Roman Catholic families, the Bible is a prominent text book, and is studied daily. For several years our common school iii Sanlander, where Mrs. tiulick, and I were first located, and where we lived for twelve yean, has had not less than three hundred pupils and has been the largest individual school in the city. For a long time it has been frankly counted by the authorities and the community as one of the' "public institutions." In the "Festival of Trees," or "arbor day," held the first week of last April, we easily took the lead in the schoolparade, in the number of children, the neatness of their dress and in steadiness and precision in inarching and in excellence of singing. A certain reactionary element in the community protested against giving our children place in the procession, but there was such an outburst of indignant remonstrance against such an act of injustice that those of the authorities who would have wished to exclude us simply did not dare to do so. This is but one of many proofs of the strong hold that evangelical thought, teaching and practice has secured in inaii\ communities in Spain, and the genuine sympathy that exists towards us and our methods in the minds of many Catholics who are observing us. Mrs. Gulick, who has carried on for several years the great work of developing the plan of the International Instiute for Cirls in Spain, while suffering, at times acutely from chronic ill health, is for a few weeks taking a course of were full of hope, and confident of a great success in Americanizing the schools, the language and the sentiments of those people. One of our most ex- perienced teachers of Hawaiian youth, Mr. Townsend, followed that army of educators, and was assigned to a superintendency of their work on the large island of Mindanao. ( )f the actual experiences of that sanguine and zealous host of instructors, after entering upon their task, we have received very little information. It has not been reported that they were meeting with any marked success in their, work It has been said that those who opened schools in the rural districts encountered great obstacles and often endured se'vene' hardship, all of which was to be expected by pioneers of educational work among semi-civilized tribes. Hut of definite reports from them all, there has been a lack, which is not encouraging to the ardent hopes which attended their advent. Quite lately very adverse reports have been coming, as of a very general failure in the expected work of these teachers in imparting a useful knowledge of the English languge to the youth of the country.

With all allowance fe>r exaggeration and for indefinite statements, it seems probable that except perhaps in city schools, such failure may actually be the fact. Teachers experienced in imparting a knowledge of English to Hawaiians felt at the outset that the hope of success in that Filipino work was rather visionary. Progress in the use of English by Hawaians in the rural districts used to be extremely slow and painful. It became successful only in the towns where there was constant contact with Englishspeaking people, and colloquial use of the language became natural. A language cannot be taught from books alone, it requires colloquial use. A foreign language cannot possibly be made an efficient medium for imparting knowledge until the pupil learns both to speak and understand it vocally to a considerable degree. This the Hawaiian youth in the rural schools have now become somewhat able to do, and a good deal of instruction from English school books is now given them with success, especially by teachers who know at least some- thing of the vernacular. But the teaching of a strange language to ignorant pupils is itself a peculiar art, and imparting knowledge to them through such a medium requires peculiar ability. Americans are a people ready to learn by experience. (hit of the rather large and costly experiment of introducing American education to the Filipinos they will probably have gained much valuable and useful experience. (rood fruit may be hoped from it, in the creation in the cities of many important and successful schools, where the more capable youth may be brought into touch with American thought and civilization. As to the creation of any common use of English by the people at large, we regard that as quite a visionary hope, It is our belie! that a system of common schools taught in the vernacular tongue of the people, should be immediately begun and developed as rapidly as possible. To aid in such a work would be a grand field for the exertions of devoted Christian missionaries of all denominations, And no more effective way of evangelizing the ignorant exists than by imparting religious instruction to youth in their mother tongues. Probably it will long continue an interesting study of how the Divine Providence will lead and move human efforls in the enlightenment of the Philippines and in the development there of a truly Christian civilization. Luzon will lead: Mindinanao may follow, getting tight from Luzon. CHURCH NEWS ( >n our title page this month we display the picture of the Lihue Church on Kauai.
