December Friend - - - - - - �The Friend HONOLULU, T. H., JULY, 190* VOL. LXI The fortieth anniversary of the Hawaiian Hoard has just passed. Rev. W. H. Rice lakes charge of the page on Temperance Issues in the absence of Rev. W. D. Westervelt. The managing editor is much indebted to Dr. S. E. P.ishop for assistance in the preparation of the present number of this paper. It has come as a great relief in the present busy season. The fortieth anniversary of Rev. H. 11. Parker as pastor of Kawaiahao Church comes too late for us to crive it adequate attention in ibis issue. We shall give it full mention next month, so that Mr. Parker's friends abroad who lead Till. FaiEND may he informed of the event. We print on our front cover this month a picture of the Japanese school which has been gathered hy Rev. Mr. Okumura during the past few years. It is a good representation of how educational and other work naturally spring out of evangelistic effort, and is prophetic of the Opportunity that is immediately upon the Christian people of these Islands to reach this rising generation of Japanese with The Hawaiian Christian education. Hoard has recently voted to move this school from its present quarters on Kitkui street to the premises of the North Pacific Missionary Institute. We call attention to The Student, the little magazine published by the Mills Institute, under the able editorship of Mr. A. M. Merrill. The June number is issued in the shape of a catalogue number. Tt contains the names of the teachers and pupils for the past year and gives the program of daily exercises, and other facts concerning the school. Mills Institute closed a successful year of work on June 19th. Already students are applying for admission for next year. Two of the old teachers, Messrs. Merrill and Henry, remain, thus insuring a successful continuance of the work. The members of Kaumakapili church are to be congratulated on receivKauTmkhpFileirClaims ing the $40,000 which remained due them for the destrucstill tion of their church edifice in the great fire of January 20, 1900. The full amount of the award was $46,822. This, with an additional amount from the sale of a portion of the church lot. bring! the total amount now at their disposal up to nearly $50,000. This sum of money, if most effectively used, will enable this church to exert a strong influence for good among the native population of Honolulu for many years to come. Its people are widely scattered and naturally gather at three or four different centers. If, as we suggested some months ago. the work at these centers is strengthened by a modest outlay of a part of this money, instead of spending it all in the erection of one large church building, and the remainder invested for the support of the work, a prosperous and useful career is easily within the reach of this organization.

The Colonia is expected before July 4th from Midway Island to land the end of the last section of the Cable at Honolulu. It has been a great and costly undertaking, and has been so far splendidly accomplished. By this event Honolulu becomes linked directly with the Orient'as we were SIX Completion months ago with our Continent and Europe. It is a great and momentous event, and one of like import with the simul- opening of I'earl Harbor in making Hawaii one of the important centers of commerce and civilization. By two events Hawaii becomes enthroned as a queen in the Central Pacific, dominating over this vast ocean area. Ex-President Cleveland has lately pointed out in a striking manner that wonderful Divine Providence which by the destruction of the French Army in San Domingo in 1803, suddenly led Napoleon to change his whole purpose and sell Louisiana to the United States. [11 like maimer, we may well study that remarkable series of Divine Providences which cigthy-three \ears ago bewail to Christianize and Americanize Hawaii, and prepared it to become a brilliant center of Christianand American civilization in this mid-ocean. More and more clearly is the great destiny of Hawaii opening before us. With such a future in near increasing and pressing I rospect come obligations to maintain here in highest vigor all social, intellectual and spiritual progress. Our youth are to be educated. Legislation is to be kept uncorrupted and wise. Laws are to be executed and government administered with growing justice and vigilance. Above all, we who are Christian believers, are to be alert and devoted in bringing all the force of Christ and His Gospel to bear for the renovation and uplifting of all the peoples in our borders, as well as for the repression of the evil forces of drunkenness and impurity. May the Lord inspire us to zeal and fidelity. taneous Alexander, Yale's most distinguished alumnus in these Islands. Prof. Alexander is a graduate of Vale of the class of 1855, and since that date has pursued a continuous and honorable career of academic and scientific work. After his graduation he taught two years in the United States and then returned to the Islands, and was connected with Oahu College as teacher and president till 1871. He then entered the service of the government as Surveyor General, in which position iie continued till 1901. when he became assistant in the L'nited States Coast Survey. Prof. Alexander is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a member of the Astronomical Socity of the Pacific, and of the Hawaiian Historical Society. He is the author of several books, and printed articles on many subjects. He iias also served the community as president and member of the Roard of Education, trustee of Oahu College, member of the Hawaiian Hoard, and in other ways.

George Pierce Andrews News of the sudden decease of Dr. Andrews brought to many a home in De- troit grief as keen and sincere as if some member of the family circle had been called away from earth. It is more than twelve years since the doctor was impelled by impaired health to leave that city, but the lapse of time has not made dim the impression which his singularly modest, sincere and sympathetic personality made on those who were privileged to know him. Few physicians have been so beloved by their patients in all si i tions of life. Few men have so complete ly commanded the confidence, the esteem and the admiration of the community at large. The life of Dr. Andrews was one of vicissitude His father. Dr. Seth L. Andrews, was sent out to the Hawaii.!! Islands by the Ymerican Board, in iK,V> as mission physician. He was located at Kailua, Hawaii, where his eldest son, (ieorge, was born April (). 1838, The lit-, of the mission physician in those da\was one of extraordinary hardship I' was necessary for him to make professional visits that required long journeys There were no roads worthy of the name. Travel was chiefly by canoe. On one occasion the doctor and his family were in I lilo when word came that his professional services were needed at Waimea. He had arranged to have horses sent from Waimea, hut as they did not arrive at the expected time and the necessity was pressing, he started on foot with his wife and little George, then cighttcen months old. to make the journey through the dense koa forest of the rain belt of Hawaii hnly at the end of three days of toil'some plodding through mire and drench ing rain did they meet a! last the horses that through some misunderstanding had been sent only as far as the borders of the forest. The hardships of such a life resulted within ten years in the premature death of three infant children and finally of the mother herself and. he. henceforth more or less, an invalid for life, was compelled to lay down the burden of his missionary work and with his surviving son, George, to return to the home land. There can be no doubt that the privations and hardships the children had suffered in those years imparted their vitality and shortened their days on earth. To the ten-year-old boy, America was at first a world filled with wonders. Ibis described as at this time physically a delicate child, but wide awake and full of energy. From his 'mother he had inherited imagination, from his father a thirst for knowledge of the facts of nature. Old pleasures soon palled with him he was impatient to extend into new fields his experiences of the delights of life. So he was naturally among his companions a leader at first perhaps in boyish mischief, later, in whatever called for initiative and enterprise. As he grew into adolescence it was evident that the motives which influenced him were invariable those that were high and noble. While restless in ; — TUB I.ATK I>ll. (IKOKOE P. ANDHkWS. his search after novelty in the experiences of life, there was absolute constancy of purpose in the pursuit of the finest ideals, and his moral instincts were never at fault in the choice of those ideals. So it was characteristic of him that very early in life his heart was given irrevocably and without reserve to the elect lady who was to be the sharer with him of whatsoever life might have in store. So, t(x>, it was characteristic that for him there could be no thought of any vocation in life other than that which his father had followed, for the bond of sympathy and affection between father and son was avers close one. The young man expected as a matter of course- to go to college, and actually entered the freshman class at Yak after fitting at Philips Andover, but he shortly found the work beyond his endurance. The requirements of a medical course of study were not at that time so exatcing, and accordingly he matriculated in the Medical Department of the University of Michigan. He pursued with enthusiasm a line of study so congennial to his tastes, and at the age of twenty-three received his diploma as Doctor of Medicine, from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Xew York City. He returned to his home at Romeo, Mich., to claim his bride, Miss Sarah Dyar, and then went direct to Detroit ( May, )86i), to begin the serious business of life. It was during the time of the Civil War, and a large government hospital had been established in Detroit for wounded soldiers. Dr. Andrews received an appointment on the staff jf this hospital, and thus was ensured active employment while waiting for patients of his own. The earlier years of his professional life were by no means years of idleness for him. The physicians of the city when lie came there showed very little ambition for anything beyond the extending of their individual business. Dr. Andrews was one of a very few who had a larger conception of the obligations demanded by their profession. Detroit, with its clinical opportunities seemed to these men to be the proper place for the Medical School of the State University. So they organized a school of medicine which was to be auxiliary to that at Ann Arbor. That Dr. Andrews should be chosen to fill Unimportant chair of Principle and Practice of Medicine was a matter of course. In connection with the Medical School, it was necessary that a Medical Journal should grow up, and who so competent to assume tin- editorship of such a Journal as Dr. Andrews? The State Medical Society had become defunct throueh inanition. Dr. Andrews was one of the leaders in the movement to reorganize the Association, which from that time has remained an active organization. Detroit had a medical society, but it was doing nothing to advance the scientific interests of the profession. Dr. Andrews was again a leader in forming a new society, the Detroit Academy of Medicine, which continues to-day to represent the high ideals of those who formed it. Again it was Dr. Andrews who suggested the building of the Children's Frco Hospital in Detroit — a philanthropic enterprise whose wisdom and necessity no one today will question. Dr. Andrews was a man of remarkable versatility of talent. He was equally at home in the hospital ward, on the lecture nlatform. or in the chemical laboratory. He could use with the skill of a master the plane, the trowel, or the soldering iron, as well as the scalpel, the trephine or the microscope.

M S. W. BRIEF MENTION Word has come of the arrival of the missionary schooner Carrie and Annie hi San Francisco, from Micronesia. Returning passengers from the missionary force were Miss Wilson, Rev. A. C. Walkup and the son of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Channon, who comes up for purposes of education in the United States. A letter from Rev. I. M. Channon of Kusaie to Dr. Bingham relates the great difficulties under which Micronesian Mission is now laboring, owing to the lack of a sufficient force to thoroughly man the field, and to the inadequacy of the missionary vessel for a number of years past to do the necessary touring. Mr. Channon's health is not good, and altogether the situation is one of great discouragement. Instead of a special topic for considerlime meeting of the W. C. T. I", the leader presented a number of letters which had accumulated during the ation at the year and had been crowded out from month to month. ( )ne of these was from Mrs. John Waterhouse, who represented the Society at the World's W. C. T. C. Convention, in (ieneva, Switzerland. Another was from Anthony Comstock. who commended the Honolulu W. C. T. I T as the first one which had given the 30 per capita asked for from each Union, in order to perpetuate his work. The Society adjourned . until September. \ new idea for a missionary society program comes from East Orange, X. J. The Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church of that place have chosen as a subject for the fall meeting, "Our Xew Possessions." and propose to present as one feature, the music and hymns used in these various new possessions. me of their number has written on here asking for a copy of one of our hymn hooks or some sheet music tor this purnose. In these days when so much is being said about advertising the Hawaiian Islands and inducing tourist travel. ' it is well to remember the amount of knowledge of these Islands that is dis- seminated through the churches of the United States. Much of this was accomnlished by the December number of Tut.

This is evidently founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment: also that bitters may have some medicinal quality which will neutralize the alcohol it conceals. Tucse theories are without confirmation in the observation of physicians. The use of beer is found to produce a species of degeneration of-all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished circulation, conditions of congestion and perversion of functional activities, local inflammations of both the liver and kidneys are constantly present. Intellectually, a stupor amounting to almost paralysis, arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into a mere animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger that are senseless and brutal. In appearance the beer-drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality he is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury, a severe cold or a shock to the body or mind will commonly provoke acute disease, ending fatally. Compared with inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable, and more generally diseased. The constant use of D WESTERVELT beer every day gives the system no recuperation, but steadily lowers the vital forces. It is our observation that beer drinking in this country produces the verylow est kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity. The most dangerous ruffians in our large cities are beer drinkers. Recourse to beer as a substitute for other forms of alcohol merely increases the danger and fatality.— Scientific American. BEER The claim made by Mr. Kendall, the national president of the Brewers' Association, and noted in our April issue, that the brewers had done more for temperance than all other agencies, in the last ten years, rather set your secretary thinking, and he has been looking into the matter a little. Some results of this investigation arc given below and it would hardly look as if we could agree with him in his conclusions. If these things show good temperance work", it must take a curious sort of glasses to disclose it. For instance, note the famous chemist whose name is almost a household word, Baron Liebig, as he writes: "The who'e purpose of brewing is to get rid of the blood-forming elements of the grain and to transmute the useful sugar into alcohol. We can prove with mathematical certainty that as much flour as can lie on the point of a table knife is more nutritious than eight quarts of the best Bavarian Peer." The Court of Appeals, Xew York's highest court, in a decision by Justice Welles said: "Xow that ale, beer, porter and most of the fermented drinks known in this country can and do produce intoxication to a greater or less extent, and that such is the ordinary effect of their use as a beverage, no man of mature years can have failed to observe." Put this with the following from an address by Dr. Edward C. Mann: '"I think a person after indulging in wine or beer for a time feels a growing desire for some more powerful stimulant." The Chicago Daily News says:"The fact is, that the use of beer as a pretended temperance beverage is a delusion and a snare. It is the first step to indulgence in stronger liquors." Horace Greeley wrote years ago: "The single glass of wine or beer per day, at the beginning, will soon be enlarged or repeated. It was enough to start the blood into a gallop yesterday, but falls short to-day, and will not begin to do it tomorrow." Away back in 1830, England tried the experiment of "beer temperance." The London Times said : "The idea entertained was that free trade in beetwould gradually wean men from the temptations of a regular tavern and would promote the consumption of a wholesome national beverage, in place of ardent spirits. The results of this experiment did not confirm the expectation of its promoters. The sale of beer was increased, but the sale of spiritous liquors was not diminished." In a later issue we may discuss the question from the health standpoint, and see how it bears out its claim."—Connecticut Citizen. The attention of the New York hospital surgeons has been called to the biu; number of bartenders that have lost several fingers of both hands within the past few years. The first case was that of an employe of a Howery concert hall. Three of the fingers of his right hand and two of his left were rotted away when he called at P.ellevuc one day and begged tin doctors to explain the reason. He said duty was to draw beer for the thousands who visited the garden nightly. The man was in perfect health otherwise, and it took the young doctors quite a time to arrive at any conclusion. Put they (lid finally, and it nearly took the heerman's breath away when they did. "Your fingers have been rotted off," they said, "by the beer which you have handled." Other cases of a similar nature came rapidly after this one, and to-day the physicians estimate there is an army of employes of saloons whose fingers are being ruined by the same cause. The acid and resin in the beer are said to be t esnonsiblc. The head bartender of a well known down-town sakxin says he knows a numlier of cases where beer-drawers have, in addition to losing several fingers of both hands, lost th use of both members. "Peer will rot iron, I believe." he added. "I know, and every bartender knows, that it is impossible to keen a good pair of shoes behind the bar. Peer will rot leather as rapidly, almost, as acid will eat into iron. If I were a temperance orator, I'd ask.

Certain it is, lat such an unprecedented session as the resent would lead us so to believe. For le length of time the session has been working" and for the amount of fermenation of intellect exhibited, very little of nything has been accomplished. Three r four measures have been passed, all laving to do with appropriations, and yen some of these have had a hard time etting by the Governor. Six provisions 1 the general emergency bill were vetoed v His Excellency. These were all small rants to private parties, given as sops to xilitical friends and were rightly thrown ut by the executive. There is a great ense of security given to the community v such acts of the Governor. It demnstrates that little which looks like jobcry or chicanery in our Legislature will scape his watchful eye. Court he has at last l>een granted absolute control thereof. The fees received out of this estate have made more than one attorney well-to-do, and the actions of Attorneys A. S. Humphreys and F. E. Thompson have been called under review of the Court. At its request the Attorney General has filed charges against these two attorneys, and the trial is, as we write, in progress. In the Supreme Court of the I Inited States, the case of the Territory of Hawaii vs. Tanbara Mankichi was, during this month, decided in favor of the Territory. This case involved the much vexed question of our "Transition Period," when, by the Xcwlands Resolution we had become a part of the United States, but before our present Territorial government had been settled upon. The Court holds that the constitution did not follow the flag, that Hawaiian procedure was in full force here during this period. that only those provisions of the constitution applied which Congress had made so to do. This case folloyvs directly the doctrine of Downes vs. Bid well, which had to do with Puerto Rico, where this doctrine was first laid down. There were in this case, four judges dissenting. Though the Legislature "in session" has accomplished so little, the courts "in vacation" have apparently made up therefor. The case before Judge Gear, involving the validity of the County Act, has heen tried and the decision announced by His Honor. Unfortunately the matter in Even the District Court has had work controversy did not go to the unconsti- of importance to do this month, for the tutionality of the Act as a whole, the de- new law preventing the employment of cision affecting only one part thereof, minors in saloons was brought into ques- namely, the Board of Public Supervisors. This was a body which by the Act was granted powers in conflict with those of the present Superintendent of Public Works: powers which practically render that office either absolutely unnecessary or the fattest sinecure in the Territory. By the decision in this case, the Board of Public Supervisors was declared illegal and unconstitutional, but His Honor was of the opinion that the remainer of the Act was not affected by the decision. In the Supreme Court, the notorious Sumner case was given its final decision. John K. Sumner, an aged Tahitian. a man of 82 years, and worth something over $110,000, by some evil chance fe'l nto the hands of certain attorneys, who together with his grandchildren, have nanaged to get from the old man, 3 very arge share of said $110,000.

An •ippeal has been taken, and presumably it will lie with the Supreme Court to decide as to the validity of this very salutary law. A very interesting case has arisen in die Federal Court. A htti of young men, so rumor has it, have united in an atfempted hold-up of the community, and '.-specially C. Brewer and Co.. Ltd. These voting men, under the name of one Fred Berger, have brought suit to enforce a c orfeit of $1000 each against C. Brewer \nd Co., Ltd., for the importation of 113 Koreans. The contention is that these Koreans were imported in contravention if our immigration law, relating both to he importation of Asiatics and of laborers under contract. The stake of * 113,000 is a large one, and a severe •t niggle will he necessary by either sicLbefore it is won or lost. It seems, nev- a great shame that our courts should be used for this species of highbinder performance. However, it is impossible to give every man free standing in court without allowing some improperly to stand there, for awhile at least. Activity in the courts is generally supposed to presage activity in money markets. No great change, however, has been noticed in our own. More than half a million dollars has been put into circulation here through the payments of our fire claims, but it has made little difference. Our mortgage indebtedness has decreased about $10,000, which is surprisingly little when we remember how many of our Chinese merchants are heavily mortgaged to banks and money lenders. The question natuarllv arises, what 13 being done with the money received ? Beyond a doubt it is being hoarded by the Chinese payees with the intention of removing to China at the first opportunity. A great and general desire seems to possess the Chinese to remove from these Islands. It seems as though every man among them who can do so is selling out or failing and so forcing settlement with his creditors and straightway betaking himself back to the Celestial country. How much this means to our business interests can scarce be imagined. The Chinese are the life of our large whoh sale houses; without them those houses are bound to be crippled, and without these wholesale houses we shall not havethat stability as a business community of which we have always boasted. To feel the effect of the withdrawal of Chinese patronage, one need only traverse our city during the Chinese New Years. Pompeii and Herculaneum seem busy marts compared to Honolulu then. In the place of the Chinese store, the small Japanese shop is appearing everywhere. Whatever may be said to the contrary, the Chinaman has, by his' stay among us, certainly gained enough education and such •lesire for comfort that he is no longer a competitor of the Jap, who can live on less and cares for less. As yet the Japanese trade with white firms is limited, but time and education will undoubtedly make him a consumer of our stuffs and he will then become more valuable economically to Hawaii. Whether or not this exodus of Chinese or some other cause leads thereto, the general business of Honolulu is still in a stagnant condition. On the Stock Exchange there is nothing at all doing. It is not uncommon to see what were formerly considered our best stocks now going without a bid for days at a time. The only large undertaking now on foot seems �9 THE FRIEND be the Alexander Young Hotel. We promised that this modern and altogether beautiful hostelry will be opened within a few days. It would seem that this house, situated as it is in the very heart of the city, is better fitted for a commercial hotel than for the tourist trade. But under liberal management, it is hoped that many now finding homes in boarding houses will go to this hotel in preference. Whatever its future, it will remain as a great and lasting monument to energy and the faith in Hawaii of one of our most substantial and longest resident business men. to are The position of Superintendent of Public Works, left vacant, or to be left vacant, by the resignation of Mr. Cooper, has found many aspirants. Some six men, of more or less ability, have placed themselves in the lists, but at the earnest solicitation of most of the business community, and even of our iconoclastic Legislature, Mr. Cooper is now reconsidering his resignation, and we have large hopes that we shall still have his valuable services in that position. The investigation of Mr. Marston Campbell's conduct in repairing roads which he deemed dangerous to traffic with stone intended for improve- in unsavory Iwilei, has been conducted with that whole-heartedness and interest which only ex parte investigation by men with their minds alreadymade up can secure. It is no wonder, therefore, that a committee report, censuring Mr. Campbell for his conduct, has been accepted by the House. But the community at large has not so done. The conscientious actions of public officials, even though in minor details perhaps unwise, do not deserve and rarely receive the opprobrium placed thereon by such men as voted for the censure resolution. nients MORAL AND RELIGIOUS MAN'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE able location of our system in respect to the great cloud-ring of stars that girdles our sky, it is strenuously denied that that Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace is an emi- ring encloses the Universe.

While treating the eminent and aged Wallace with the kindest deference, the astronomers have quite unanimously refuted his reasoning. They point out that as our Sun is only one among more than a million solar orbs revealed by the telescope, it is unreasonable to attribute to it any special advantage as to planets capable of breeding rational souls; multitudes of these visible suns are likely to be attended by equally favored planets. Even if our alleged central position were any advantage, thousands of other stars are equally central to the Milky Way, and so have a like advantage. While it may be admitted that Dr. Wallace has indicated a somewhat remark- that the clouds of dark meteorites similarly exceed in number the bright nebulae. Hence the foggincss of space beyond a certain distance. What has Theology or the doctrine of God to say (in this topic? We believe that God fills the Universe, however vast, and that it all is His creation. When astronomy extends our conception of Space, it enlarges our conception of the Divine immensity. Geology has in like manner extended our conception of past ages to scores of millions of years; and spectroscopic astronomy is revealing to us vastly longer aeons of time occupied in the generation, growth, and fading out of suns. Thus in like manner have become enlarged our conceptions of the Divine We say with deeper meanEternity. ing, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or even thou didst form the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." But we are also overwhelmed with the thought of Man's insignificance. "What is man, that thou are mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou visitest him?" Can it be that the Creator and Sustainer of innumerable planets, inhabited by races of human souls, cares particularly for this earth and its people? Yes, it is part of God's infinity to be infinite in the outreach of His unfailing love and mercy. We of earth are none the less loved and compassionated, because innumerable other races elsewhere are being nurtured for a glorious immortality. Thus does Theology reverently adjust itself to all that Science discloses, and finds therein enlarged knowledge of God. S. E. B. THE EARLIEST CHRISTIAN WORSHIP IN CALIFORNIA WAS PROTESTANT lii The Interior appeared the following by Rev. James S. MacDonald, D. D., which shoyv that public Protestant worship was held on the coast of California by Sir Francis Drake, nearly 200 years before Father Junipero Sierra first established Roman Catholic worship at San Diego. Drake was a scourge of Papal Spain on both the Atlantic and Pacific, and led in the destructive attack on the Spanish Armada which finally quelled the Papal supremacy: statements On a height in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco, there stands a massive granite cross. It was my good fortune to join in its consecration service, conducted by Bishoo Nicholls and his brethren. It is "The Prayer-Book Cross." It was erected at great cost as a memorial of an event of intense interest. June 17, 1579, Sir Francis Drake cast anchor in an exposed bay. known as Drake's Bay. Had he nassed through the then unnamed Golden Gate, and entered the peerless water beyond, we might have a "Sir Francis" instead of a "San Francisco Bay." But better the name of a saint, whose mission was one of peace, than that of a sailor, whose business it was to send the shins of England's foes to the depths of the sea. Sir Francis spent thirty- �THE FRIEND 10 five days on the shore of charming Marion county. The Indians came to see at one time with great pomp and ceremony. They took the white men for gods. To disabuse their minds, religious services were held in their presence, "all kneeling and joining in prayers; thus indicating that they were but creatures of the one only everlasting God. After prayers psalms were sung: and with the music the Indians were especially delighted. On July 23, after many religious ceremonies and singing of psalms, he bade farewell to 'New Albion,' and stood Out to sea." Thus the first religious services held on this Western shore of the continent were conducted according to the rites of the Church of England. It was a glorious temple, worthy of their great God and Saviour.

Having changed plans of travel so that a month was spent in California instead of a few days, it became possible to carry out a long cherished desire to visit Southern California in the Springtime, to see and enjoy the wild flowers. After threedays in Oakland, your correspondent, with a young companion to share the newjoy, traveled to San Jose and reveled in the sight of the lovely wild flowers. Great patches of color on every side; orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue and cream color, spread on the hillsides or in the meadows, or nearer still, by the sides of the railroad track as we whizzed along. Occasionally an orchard in bloom came in sight, but the time for orchard bloom was past, and the young fruit mostly set. Everywhere, in every town or hamlet we rushed through, were the blooming rose in the full glory of Spring. A brief visit at San Jose was marked by an afternoon at Alum Rock Park, a resort on the slopes of the foothills, quite near the suburbs; where some natural springs impregnated with alum and sulphur, exist, in a wild, interesting locality, which is made accessible at trifling cost by the electric cars.

The incoming crowds of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese have added largely to the missionary obligations resting uixin the Christian peo- pie. The most difficult problems for solution relate to the natives of the Islands. Their churches are at a low spiritual ebb. This is recognized by no one more than by the Hawaiian leaders. Is there cause for this condition? Few people have passed through greater or more trying changes during the past fifteen or more years. Foreign peoples from the East and the West have in large numbers invaded the Islands and secured a strong hold ii|x>ii the business and property interests because of their superior ability, industry and thrift. The English language is now compulsory in all the schools of Hawaii. The children speak it fluently, and when the next generation shall come to the front the native language will be largely of the past. Why should we blame the people if they have some suspicions and jealousies in view of these changed conditions?

At the present time thereis no theological training, or practically none. The Evangelical Association must grapple with the situation at once, not only as relates to the Hawaiian churches, but also the churches of other races. The public schools of the Islands stand well abreast of those of any of our States or Territories. There are some most excellent institutions of learning, such as the Oahu College and the Kaniehamcha Schools.

To us it has been a relief to have one so thoroughly sympathetic and informed as to our conditions, even though it must he for such a brief period. For him, no doubt, it has he-en a good intermediate year for his work which will tit him to lie a trained worker in a field which is offering more and more wide opportunities for the upbuilding of the Kingdom. The Boys' Brigade wishes him well. The secretary of the local Christian Endeavor Endeavor Christan Union recently received an interesting report of work done during 190a by the Japanese Society on Nuuanu street. They report an average attendance at their meetings of 12, the total number of members being 14, living in Honolulu. During that time they had seven union meetings with the Junior Society, the average attendance being 55. The members have assisted at meetings at Makiki Chapel, at Kakaako, have distributed several thousand tracts, have visited the Japanese Hospital patients, hesides attending the union meetings of the Union.

The roll was then called, all the societies hut one being represented. It was voted that greetings 13 Hawaiian Poard, has been carried on in co-operation with the American Board. It has now only one Hawaiian missonary and his wife in the Gilbert Islands, and it is probable that he will soon re- visit his native land, and that he will not be again sent out. In case he is not, and no new missionaries are sent out, it would seem that the time has conic for the Hawaiian Hoard to cease to co-operate with the American Hoard in the evangelization of the Gilbert Islands." This would seem all the more evident from the fact that moreover the Training School at Kusaie has reached such a maturity and growth that it can contemplate putting its graduates, as it has already begun to do, in the positions vacated by our retiring missionaries, and the lack of a missionary packet, making stated yearly tours between this port and the Gilbert Islands, makes the school at Kusaie, and not that at Honolulu, the natural centre for missionary operations. This is the heritage which, after more than half a century's participation in the Micronesian work, we pass over to that school at its majority. During these lifty-oiu years this Hoard has sent into the Micronesian field thirty-one mission tries and their wives, all but three of whom were located in the Marshall and and aloha be sent to the Golden Gate Union of San Francisco by the retiring secretary. Miss Nannie M. Duff, who Was soon to leave for the mainland, and who resigned as secretary of that Union at the time of her coming to the Islands. The cordial aloha of the meeting was likewise extended to Miss Duff, to whom many references had heen made during the meeting on account of the marked efficiency of her service. This was the time for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and the president announced that owing to the failure of the various society presidents to respond to the call for a meeting to make nominations, the officers had been forced to do it all themselves, and proceeded to each nominate his or her successor. The nominations met with favor by the audience, and the candidates were all unanimously elected.

After that year, reinforcements ceased. The extension of the French protectorate over these islands and the use of the French language in the schools has been one of the reasons for the passing of that mission by this Poard over into the hands of the brethren of the French Protestant Mission, who have a centre of operations at Papeete, Tahiti. The influence of the work done by our Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia and the Marquesas has been profound and far-reaching; it has resulted in the evangelization of multitudes of savage heathen, bringing peace to those who were at war, and a holy purpose to the lost; it has prepared a highway for commerce and marshaled the forces of good against the evil; it has stimulated and encouraged the great heart of Christendom in its world-wide missionary operations, and it has affected the entire Hawaiian people most benignly, most blessedly, and this at a cost, it is said, of only about $112,000.

Here is an enterprise appealing directly to Christians of large resources. We want to capture the Japanese for Christ here in Honolulu. If we mean business we must force the battle at Nuuanu, at l'alama, at Makiki, at Kakaako and at every other center in town where the Japanese congregate. The workers are ready. Are those who have the stuff also ready? If so, send it in to our Treasurer. We desire to call special A Rare attention to a subsequent Opportunity article entitled "Another Gift of Hawaii lo Japan." To complete this remarkable service to that Empire an annual investment of $300 is required. We use the word investment advisedly, because the chief purpose of the new Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo is to furnish approved, welt-equipped evangelists for Hawaii. Mr. Kozaki believes that a force of sixty Japanese evangelists will be required to work effectively the field here. In this estimate we thoroughly agree with him. By co-operating to make this Training School a success, we may expect to receive from three to six newworkers every year until the needs of this Territory are fully met. What a call to God's people this opportunity issues! Who will hear it and send to our Treasurer a check for $300? The- King's business demands haste in this instance. ANOTHER GIFT OF HAWAII TO JAPAN Nothing less than a for 'Training School Christian Workers, combining the advantages of Moody's famous Bible School and the almost equally well known llible Normal College, formerly of Springfield, Mass., and latterly affiliated to that spendidly virile institution, Hartford Theological Seminary.

Kozaki of Japan, whose church in Tokyo is the leading Congregational ( Kumiai) center in the capital of the Empire, were enabled to visit these islands for evangelistic purposes. They returned profoundly impressed with the strategic importance of Hawaii for the evangelization of Japan. By pen and address Mr. Kozaki made his conviction known that the Japanese churches ought to furnish Hawaii with a force of 60 trained, English-speaking workers.. He so succedeed in firing the hearts of his people that offers came from a large pro- portion of the evangelists in connection with the American Hoard's Mission to go to this Territory. These offers could not be considered for a moment. To have listened to them would have crippled the mission most seriously. But Mr. Kozaki had no A Deeper i'lun thought of robbing his country of the services of men already in the work there, lie aimed to create a new supply to meet the necessities of Hawaii. His eye soon took in the wider demand. Large companies of Japanese had emigrated to Formosa, to China, to the Philippines and to our Pacific coast. Among them were Christians. Like the emigrants to Hawaii, all these men were readily susceptible to Christian appeal. There was only onepossible thing to be done—open a Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo, one of the largest, if not the largest, student center in the world. Get hold of many of these young men for this noble missionary service. Give them a thorough training in English, in the knowledge and use of the Bible, and in practical evangelistic work. „ „ „How Carry Out 4 1 he first . thing« was to se- '" t u co-operation oi Chtistigtl ministers and leaders of experience.

The truth of the case if that several of the controlling spirits in these companies have become Christians, and are members of Mr. Kozaki's church. A new era, therefore, has dawned in the relation of these companies to the men whom they bring to these islands. They aim to help them to lay ti|) money, to save them from drink and vice and gambling, ened. they are maintaining several men here who are studying the conditions on the several plantations with a view to induce worthless laborers to return to Japan.

THE TREASURER'S REPORT The treasurer's rqx>rt is not yet printed, but brief mention of the financial condition of the Hoard will be expected at this time. The following facts will be variously interpreted. To the courageous they will he encouraging and to the down-hearted they will be dispiriting. It may be fairly assumed that the Hoard's supporters belong to the first class, while the rest may enter in at any time. In the first place, there is a debt to start the year with, $3,794.33. That looks bad! Hut it might he worse, was worse last year, when it was as high as $10,356.00 at the beginning of the year. Another thing that looks bad—if bad —is the fact that the income fell $3,-841.81 below the income of the preceding year. Now there are probably some reasons for this, and yet the showing for our givers appears worse when it is stated that one man alone gave $14,000. (me thing to be recorded will be generally regarded as good, viz., that the running expenses of the work were reduced over $10,000. How good this is must be determined by how deep into life of our work tin "cut" was made. It is painful work at the best and yet the Hoard has had to undertake still further the cutting and probing for the year to come. The result will be seen in considerable change in our working force amounting to complete reorganization of the work. The apparent saving to the Hoard in dollars and cents is about $5,-000, but what the real hurt to the body is we cannot vet know. The finances of the Missionary body present a strange problem,—perhaps a complete contradiction in terms.. Business precedents would seem to limit the expenditures to the probable income. Christian faith in Divine resources to carry out His plans — nothing short of makes little universal evangelization account of lack of funds, looking chiefly to needs.

Mr. Kumalae, Mrs. Ai and himself, were the committee on presentations. Mr. Parker, in ackonwledgment of these valued expressions of the love and esteem of many, spoke of how brief a period the past forty years now seemed to be, and acknowledged the invaluable support that he had received in his work from the good men and women of the past, and of the loyal aid given by the present faithful membership of the church, lie s|K>ke first in English and then in the Hawaiian language.

It was part of the great experiment, how to save the bodies of the natives whose souls had begun to awaken. During five years of active life at Wailuku and seventeen at Kaluaaha —for Molokai was then a populous island—Miss Brown taught better living and self-help; and the value of her instruction is not to be measured by the yards of cloth which her girls wove, but by their improvement in character.

The rushes growing on the landward side of the fish ponds, and the seaweed collected there, with a little spice of shellfish, gave a briny smell to the coast, which does not belong to the open sea. A'little more intensity might have made it a bad smell, but it has never become bad to me. We had our daily sea bath ing at the landing, where the bottom was sandy; and our daily visit of inspection to the canoe houses, —old houses with low stone walls and ragged roofs— where the more valuable canoes were swathed in old mats, and mounted on carved stools. Our longer excursions reached to the great Mapulehu valley, which is narrowat the mouth, but expands into an amphitheater; to the Iteiatt near the mouth of this valley, a great oblong pile of rounded stones, with level top and sloping sides, overgrown, even then, with a tangle of vines and bushes; and a trip to Halawa, a wild and verdant valley opening to the northeast, and having a noble stream of cold mountain water. One experience, which was not my own, made a lasting impression on me. The missionary was to hold religious meetings with the people at Kamalo and beyond, and would be gone from home two days. One member of his party was hoped that the attendance will increase. A limited number of scholarships and half-scholarships is provided for worthy and needy pupils. Some of these are for Ilawaiians only, others are reserved for Japanese and Chinese. Those who wish to take advantage of these must apply early. The additions to the teaching force for the coming school year will, it is lielicved, add greatly to the strength and general efficiency of the school, The Pratt system will be continued in the sewing department, which, with the department of music, will be under new teachers. Pupils are wanted for the sewing course, and outside pupils for lessons in music. 'The present hopeful outlook for the future of the school, affords every encouragement for the continued interest and financial aid of those who have hitherto assisted the school, while tin- many and urgent needs which arise as improvements arc contemplated, call loudly for new interest and new contributions. The school is broadening in its scope, reaching out for the girls of the cosmopolitan island population, in this respect filling a sphere not now occupied by manyschools of its kind.

COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY ()ur Legislature, which for months has threatened to become a fixture in our niidst, has, we are glad to say, passed into history. It is impossible to summarize their work in this brief review. We have endeavored as the months passed, to give a short account of the way they were working. 'The extra session was devoted almost entirely to the spending of money and. at least on paper, they have managed to get away with twice, almost thrice, our possible income. It is hoped that a bond issue will supply the money necessary to complete the extensive works contemplated by our legislators and such bonds are to be issued shortly.

As was predicted, more and more interest is being shown in sisal cultivation. A new company is out with its prospectus, which states that the intention of the promoters is to raise the fiber on the windward side of this island. Schemes arc on foot to utilize the entire island of Kahoolawe as well as large tracts on Maui and I lawaii in the same manner. 'To have some other large industry besides sugar in I lawaii will be an undoubted benefit to the islands. It will tend to make more stable our income as a com muiiity, which, under present conditions, rises and falls with the fluctuations of the sugar market alone.

'The business of the Hawaiian Association at its annual meeting being conducted in an unknown tongue, hid no attractions for these men. They determined not to waste the golden hours and therefore daily in the N'uuanu Street church met to discuss the conditions and demands of their work.

In the cheap places young women of pretty face and buxom form sally forth to show their physical beauties in changing dress (and dress), and with sonc and dance display their activity (and their persons) in more or less wanton fashion. The dialogue parts are usually carried on by men in grot- esquc costumes representing Jews or trisna man and a woman in ordinary dress.

I § �THE FRIEND 12 The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society JUDGE WILLIAM WILCOX LUTHER This ever-youthful man bade his native land adieu on the evening of Sabbath, Jul y I2th, crossing over into the bourne whence none return. He had a few days earlier, on the Bth of July, completed 'fifty years of a very interesting and varied life. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Aimer Wilcox, were missionaries of the \merican Hoard, who came to these islands as teachers, arriving from 808-ton early in the forties. He was born at Waioli. on Kauai, and inherited tin- quaint humor of his father and tlie kindly sparkle of his lovely and loving mother, the combination producing line of the most fascinating characters that our islands have produced. His parents, after about thirty yearn of assiduous missionary service, in infirm health, 'eft, in 1869, for a vist to their fatherland. Hut a week after reaching their native place in Winsted, Connecticut, they both died within an liour of each other. Left an orphan at sixteen and having completed two years of schooling at Lun ahoti, he resolved toat once strike out and make a living for himself. Securing the situation of interpreter, he entered the service of the Government, in which he continued through life. None ever rivaled him as interpreter, either in court or in the legislative hall. The promptness and aptness of his brilliant translations were a feast to any listener who understood perfectly the English and Hawaiian languages. In iB<»7 he was appointed Judge of the police court of Honolulu, a position of great labor and taxing responsibilities. He never appeared weary and seldom failed by his pleasantry and wit to lighten the hearts of all concerned and of interested listeners. The genuine kindness of his heart ever showed itself in playful form, exceedingly unusual in a judge whose office was to restrain evil doers and to deliver the righteous from tinhand of tlie oppressor. 1 le was the just judge, the kind friend. the merry companion and the government officer who could not easily be hood-winked. About ten years ago he was married to a Hawaiian woman of good rep;>r; from the island of Molol<ai.—named Kahuila. His surviving relatives are his widow, Mrs. Kahuila Wilcox, and his brothers, in Winstead, Connecticut; George N., Samuel W. and Albert, Edward residents tary for Hawaii to his other duties, stated that the Churches of the Territory had made a very poor showing, l>ecause many pastors failed to fill out and return the statistical blanks sent them. He emphasized the advantages to be gained by representation in the national organization; it gives us the right to participate in its stimulating councils, and that it is important that our statistics should be as ac- on Kauai.

It is neither unwise, nor unkind to ask the question, if thereby some good can come out of it for the future. (living all the credit for commendable points, there was some thing the matter with it, wasn't there? There was the extreme heat; that was no one's fault, surely. By the way, we wonder whether it was warm at the great Denver C. E. convention. If i*. was (not altogether improbable) do you think there would lie a very great interference witli tlie attendance? We trow not. As to our singing. We wish something might he said commendatory. Yes, the few that were there sang as best they might, perhaps. But the absent voices were very weak. Next time, let's have a good choir, if we don't have anything else in the house. That, by the way, is a fine ideal for a church choir,—every one in the congregation a member of it: no unheard of minute expressing grateful thanks.

DEADLY THING. How will you account for this? It challenges the wonder of the world. What, besides greed, is responsible? It is becoming quite common now-a-days to see articles in the religious papers under this or similar titles. This fact may be taken, we believe, to indicate that there is a very wide-spread belief among spiritually minded people that the present conditions in the religious world are not as 'hey should be and that the remedy for them must come from a higher than merely human source. There is good ground for both of these convictions. There probably never has been a time when humanitarian .and philanthropic effort ha* reached such dimensions as it has at the present. There is no end to the enterprises looking to the relief of the material ills of humanity, and money and personal labor have been put into them without limit. All this is good in its place. But it has tended to become the religion of many people, who feel, or try to feel, that when they have expended their means or themselves in the relief of unfortunate humanity, they have fully met their personal responsibility. The result has been a neglect of the more fundamental duties that people owe to God and their own spiritual natures, as well as to deeper needs of the world. This is a condition not without a cause. Under the new conceptions of life and the world which have been current in recent years, the application to the consciences of men "The Cuming Revival" �THE FRIEND 4 of the primary truths of the Scriptures in regard to sin and human responsibility has not been given as large a place in religious preaching and teaching as the human heart requires. The result is seen in laxity in the lives of Christian people and the difficulty in getting supi>ort for Christian work which calls for personal sacrifice and lacks the elements of larity and the spectacular. This process has gone on till the Chris- tian work) is beginning, under the inspiration, we may ho]x', of the Divine Spirit, to awaken to the fact that the hope of the world is not in new knowledge or in scientific methods of meeting its physical needs, although these are good and have their place, but in the forsaking of sin and the acceptance of Jesus Christ. We believe we may hail the indications of this awakening as a sign that God is stirring in the hearts of his people to prepare them for a gracious visitation of His Spirit. Shall we consider it an indication that God is moving for an outpouring of I lis spirit, that, in common with Christian people An Evangelistic added Work for Hawaii elsewhere, earnest men and women here recognize that this is the only solution for many of our religious and social difficulties? There is certainly nothing to forbid it, although we are not called up »H to speak positively on the matter. A movement, however, which is still in its incipient stages, has been begun here. looking toward a general endeavor to bring to bear in the churches in these islands the means of grace by which a renewed interest in spiritual things might beexpectcd to follow. It is too early \vt to make positive statements. Whether this work will be carried out depends on the settlement of some matters not yet fully considered. It had the endorsement of tlie Ministerial Union at its last meeting in June, and of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and five men were appointed by each of these bodies to act as a committee in full charge, with power to appoint other committees in case it seems l>est to make the attempt. The final decision will soon be reached and full announcement made at the proper time. In regard to this movement we bespeak the earnest prayer and consideration of all Christian people. Remember that these islands have witnessed one of the most wonderful revivals known in the hitsory of the Christian church —a revival by which they were born a Christian nation as in a day. There can be no doubt that they are destined yet to play an important part in the history of God's kingdom in the Pacific Ocean and this point Dr. Gulick's contribution must its neighboring nations.

On anese life. The value of such chapters as to �Moral Practice, Are the Japanese Relig- ious? Some Religious Conceptions, and the Buddhist World View cannot be over stated. In a work covering so wide an extent of territory, it is to be expected that some carelessnesses should have slipped in. It is unfortunate that Dr. Gulick should reiterate the misstatement that witches were burned in New England. Some twenty-four or twenty-five were hanged and one was pressed to death, but none were burned. It is not quite true that "whenever a Japanese man walks out with his wife, which, by the way, is seldom, he invariably steps on ahead, leaving her to follow," inasmuch as the occidental practice has already begun to invade the capital and other of the larger ports, and we have several times seen married couples walking in the streets side by side. That the Emperor had any primary responsibility in granting Japan its constitution, or that he would be able to abrogate it, we greatly doubt. So far as the United States are a criterion of the Occident, it seems to us, after close association with laborers in both lands, that truth demands the emphatic reversion of the following: "The lower and laboring classes of Japan seem to have more visible affection for their children than the same classes in the Occident." Bul these are only minor matters. When one remembers that this careful, painstaking, scholarly volume has not fallen from the pen of a quiet student or a college professor with ample opportunity and facilities for research, hut has heen written bit by hit amid myriads of interruptions by a busy missionary whose time is never his own, whose mind and heart are constantly kept full of personal and administrative details, and whose lot is cast in japan where the demands upon the Christian leader are exhaustive, the wonder is that such a splendid piece of work could have been produced at all. Those who miss references to the files of the Asiatic Society, or to the work of others calculated to enrich the material for such a study as that attempted by Dr. Gulick must remember the limitations upon time and especially upon library resources that hedge in the missionary in a far interior station. Even the leisure necessary for a careful revision of the manuscript before it was sent to press could not be had. Under such conditions to have produced one of the books on lapan of the first order, and that, tr«), in a field making large demands upon special scholarship, is an achievement of no little moment upon which we heartily D. S. congratulate the author. DOES GOD'S LOVE SAVE ALL MEN? It is the worthy claim of the "New Theology" which is so prominent in these days that it magnifies the glorious tenderness of Love which reigns in the heart of the Eternal Father. I' discovers Dim to be the compassionate Father of every soul in existence. He yearns with limitless love over every rational being whom He has created. All are His children. This "New" doctrine goes so fatas to say that no corruption, no debasement, no utter cruelty and vileness of character can ever sink a soul beyond His final reach of reclamation. He will search out every lost soul "until He finds in it." None shall finally perish, not even the foulest embodiment of falsity and malignity, or even Satan himself, if there he such a being. 'Hie Love of God avails ultimately to reclaim every lost child. This interesting and flattering teaching is often known as the "Larger Hope" or the "Eternal Hope." Attractive it ma) he to many minds; but. is it true? Do* s this unlimited extension of the precious and tender attributes of the Divine Beirjg express the whole truth about His character and attributes? Does it duly con sider all the conditions and all the liabilities that exist? To our mind it does not do so. It seems a fatally limited and one-sided conclusion, omitting to observe a vast and portentious clement of evil in the universe to be dealt with and conquered by destruction. Moreover, is such a doctrine justified by the "sure word of prophecy," as recorded in the Xew Testament Scriptures, which give us the teachings of utr Lord and His Apostles 2 "Hack lo Christ." cries this Xew Theology. Hut no apostle is more explicit than was their Master in denouncing perdition, remediless and hopeless ruin as the fate of the unreclaimed and hardened.. Observe His words, "Wide is the gate, and broad the way that lcadeth to destruction, and many there he that go in thereat; hut straight is the gate and narrow the way that lcadeth unto life, and few there lie that find it." Again. "The wicked shall go away into Aeonian punishment," that is the punishment of the eternal state. Again He said: "Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and lxxly in hell." "Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.." The mildest meaning attributable to such words. is that the wicked lost ones are totally consumed and finally perish. So the apostles preached. Wrote Paul of the enemies of the gospel: "Who shall be punished with everlasting dc struction from the presence of the Lord 5 THE FRIEND and from the glory of His power." Such is the uniform testimony of the Xew Testament as to the final fate of the enemies of God. We do not here claim that the misery of the lost has not been exaggerated in the Christian church; nor do we claim that the teaching of the church has not included far too many among the hopelessly lost. The possible saving power of God may have been far too much limited by a narrow teaching. Bui the fact remains that the great Founder of Christianity gave no room for this modern teaching of a Universal Salvation. That is not a Christian doctrine, but a modern invention. We regard it as a misguided sentimentalism, which blindly and one-sidedly overlooks the overwhelming fact thai evil necessarily tends to destruction. The exceeding compassion of the Infinite Father does not extinguish the inevitahleness of that consequence to all those .vho persist in choosing evil and refusing the good. Xor does it overcome the law of the persistence of hardened character, by which inevitable evil-doers pass the line of possible reclamation. Those servants of Christ who would "rightly divide the word of truth;" who would "warn every man in all wisdom." will humbly abstain from setting up their own sentimental theories on this momentous subject. They will humbly an I earnestly consult the teachings of the founders of Christianity which were wholly opposed to such "Larger Hope." Never more than now did tempted and careless men need to be warned that sin leads towards perdition rcnicdylcss and hopeless, from which no compassion of God may be able to rescue them. S. E. B.

After breakfast, examined several schools in Kahana, and married seven couples. Set out about eleven o'clock and stopped at Puna uu and Uauula. and, examined schools and addressed the people, and arrived at I.aiewai before dark, where we took up our hxlging f°r the night. As Kaahumanu was not well and stopped short of this place, the good people took great pains to make me as comfortable as they could : mv bedding, cooking utensils, &c. being left behind. I was gratified to find so much appearance of civilization in this distant part of the island. We found here good houses, many of the people were well dressed, and possessed several foreign articles of comfort. The head man and wife appeared very glad to see me, and spent the evening very pleasantly in conversation. They said they had In en considerably in debt and were much tti mhled, but were now mostly relieved of their burden. I told them it was the best way to pay down when they purchased anything. They readily assenie 1 to it. and said they were before naattpo. (dark heart.) This is a pleasant part oi the island, and belongs to Kekauluohe, for whom our little daughter is named. Feb'y 11 tit. Examined in this place about 170 scholars, conversed with the teachers and addressed the people as usual. Kaahumanu exhorted them to forsake their sins, attend to instruction, obey the word of God, &c, StC. We set out between ten and eleven o'clock and arrived at Kahukti a littl past noon, examined several schools, married three couple, and addressed the people. As Kaahumanu was not very well, we concluded to stop for the night. Baked hogs and poi as usual were brought in abundance. Feb'y 12th. Arrived at Waialee before noon, examined three or four schools and proceeded to Waimea, where we examined two more. Here we found Hewahewa, the former high priest, repeat edly mentioned in the earlier accounts of the mission. Kaahumanu in her address to (he people, pointed to him as the former priest of their lying gods of wood and stone, &c, and exhorted them to turn to the right way, cast off their sins, and obey the word of the God who created . all things. Here I met with Mr. Pierce from Honolulu, the first person I have seen since leaving home, with whom I could con verse in English. We left Waimea about three o'clock and proceeded to Waialua, five miles further, where we had concluded to spend the Sabbath. This is a pleasant place, thickly inhabited and affords a pretty good harbor fir small yessels. It is probably the most favorable place on the island, next to Honolulu, for a missionary station. We met here our good friend and brother, nui, and a few others from Honolulu. Feb'y 13th. Examined 200 scholars in this place. There are more to he examined on Monday. This place presents many advantages for a missionary station. It is easily accessible by water or by land from I lonolulu, distant about thirty miles in a straight course. It is very fertile, and abounds in fresh water. The inhabitants in the immediate vicinity are numerous, and any place on the north side of the island is easily accessible on horseback. I should prefer this as a place of residence before Honolulu. Feb'y 14th, Sabbath. Preached this morning to about 20(X) hearers in' the open air, from Matthew 7:20. and in the afternoon to nearly as many from Luke 12.8-0. There would probably he about the same number usually if a missionary was established here. Feb'y 15th. Examined this morning nearly 200 more scholars in this place, and married eight couples. Set out between ten and eleven o'clock for \\ aianae, taking an inland course, as we could not ride around by the sea shore, leaving Kaahumanu and her attendants to come tomorrow, and meet us ten or twelve miles southeast of this place. We rode about twelve miles and left our horses, and descended a precipice some thousand feet and proceeded six or seven miles further to the sea shore at Waianae. When we reached this place it was dark, and was exceedingly fatigued and hunhad eaterl nothing exgry, as since cept a piece of sweet potato I I in the morning. 1 threw the mats and waited patiently until the good people could provide a little fish and taro. which I ate with a jack knife, using cold water for tea. After supper a prayer was offered by one of the native teachers, and I laid down upon mats spread Upon hoards, but was not able'to yet much rest, as I had very little covering and my bed was exceedingly hard. Feb. 16th. This morning the school assembled and we examined about JOO scholars, addressed the people and praye 1 with them, and after taking a little refreshment, set out on our return. We ascended with much labor the precipice, and soon met Kaahumanu and her company, and took up our lodgings for the night, glad to get a little tea and a comfortable lodging place, Feb'y 17111. A very stormy day, and as we were in a comfortable harbor, Kaahumaiiu concluded not to go out m 'he rain. We must, however, soon remove from this place, or we shall be in want 7 o'clock myself upon of food, as we have aliout ioo persons in our company, and the place where we are is ten or twelve miles inland and very thinly inhabited. Feb. 18th. We put our baggage in order this morning, and set out for the sea shore. After riding about ten miles, pari of the time in the rain, ,ye arrived at I lonouliuli, where we examined several schools and put up for the night, As horses have la.ely heen brought to the islands, no roads have yet been made. We find nothing hul footpaths in any pail of the islands, and these are sometimes very had ''or horses. We hope to arrive at Honolulu tomorrow or next day. Feb'y 19th.

Arrived at Waiawa about noon and examined the sclii ols in '.hat vicinity, and set out for hour.', leaving si me of the teachers to examine a few remaining schools. XigiH overtook us before we reached home, and as the load was very bad, we left our horses, procured lights and after traveling several miles in the mud, arrived at Honolulu .about nine o'clock in the evening, and found Mary and the babe well. Kaahumanu arrived the next morning. During my absence I examined about 40(H) scholars, and man ied twenty-four couples. The Scenery in every part of the island is grand and romantic. The land, except in the mountainous parts, is generally good, and capable of sustaining twentj times the present number of inhabitants. The bouses of the common people are generally poor. They barely afford a shelter from the sun and rain. Their furniture is made up principally of a few calabashes from which they eat and drink, &C, and a few mats, upon which thee sleep. Manx of the common people .are now decently clothed in foreign cloth, others are furnished with la pit or native cloth, which they tie around them or throw over their shoulders. They are beginning to make bonnets and hats of the leaf of the haht tree, by braiding it like straw. They are also beginning to procure many other articles of comfort to which they were formerly strangers. But what is far more interesting to the Christian, they are becoming better and better acquainted with the religion of lestis. Light is pouring into their minds, which, we trust, will greatly elevate them in the scale of intelligent beings, and with the Messing of (Sod, make them wise unto salvation. Eagerness for books and religious instruction is exceedingly great, and we very much need more help to sup- ply the increased demand. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. D WESTERVELT The editor of the Temperance page of I'"kii:m> has been in China and Japan during June, July and a part of August. He visited-many of the chief cities of both countries.

In order to prove his position correct. In must see that his protoges keep the law. A serious question really arises in connection with the multiplication of beer saloons. Is it safe in a tropical conimttnty to encourage any use of alcohol as a beverage? Our climate and the salt air we breathe combine to create thirst. It seems to he a fact when one looks back over the life of the community tilling these Islands that the beer habit grows into the use of stronger stimulants as a rule, and the tropical thirst demands something stronger than beer to hold it in abeyance. The dangers of increasing beer saloons can easily be seen when the ease of forming an appetite for intoxicants in a tropical country is recognized. In the United States the South was much more inclined to whiskey than the North. I'lils question of beer and thirst should be a vital factor when our government officials try to solve the problem of the welfare of the people.

L. WHITNEY body and the unremitting care of every household. We trust that not only the funds for the prosecution of the work be forthcoming, hut also that that willingness to co-operate be shown which in such undertakings is worth far more than money. This has been a month of political foment. In the Republican Party, practically embracing all the whites together with many natives, caucuses and primaries have been the order of the day. There have been two factions in the field; one led by J. 11. Boyd and T. McCants Stewart, and seeming to represent the "graft" ]x)rtion of our ]K)litics, and the other faction representing the better element. Political enthusiasm has run higher as the primaries approached, hut all through the campaign there has been a most deplorable lack of assistance from the older and richer and more stable men of the community. It is indeed a paradox that the men who have most to gain or lose by a turn in elections, men whose time is their own and wdiosc fortunes ]>ermit, should be the last to come into the field and work for honest, clean and reputable politics. There is no such thing as "staying out of politics," we must live under some government and in a republic we live under that government which we ourselves form. We may shirk our duty to that government, we may stand by and grumble at the work others are accom- plishing, but so long as we live, we shall form an integral part of politics we shall, by our action, cast our influence on the side of righteousness or of iniquity in high places. The most cursory glance at the ranks of the men in the fight will prove our point. Where, in this last campaign were the bankers, the planters, the merchants and the men of money, influence and authority? And yet, on the election of good, honest men in these primaries hung the question of whether we shall or shall not have an honest administration in Honolulu. The elections have come out well and the result has been an absolute and, we trust, final defeat of an organized band of spoilers within the Republican ranks. : The community has had forced Upon its attention this month, the spectacle of the State taking the life of an individual for the crime of robbing that State of another life. Laying aside all sentimentality and all of the super-softness of heart which seems to affect many of our writers, it certainly does seem terrible that a man should be punished more than is necessary to prevent his ever committing the offence again in order that another, for wdiose conduct he is not responsible may be terrified into an ap- prcciation of the enormity of the misdeed. The permanent disbarment of Attorneys Humphreys and Davis and the suspension of Attorney Thompson came as a surprise to most of the community ; but disloyalty to clients and blackmail are not to he winked at, and the Court has done a great and lasting service not only to the bar, but as well to every man under its jurisdiction by declaring with no uncertain voice that the bar shall be as true and as just as justice demands that the bench shall he. The long term of court is now upon us, and again the town is feeling the weight of the unequal burden of jury service it bears. It is a notorious fact that practically all the heavy civil jury work of Hawaii falls on the inhabitants of the capital, and it is small wonder that the two hundred and fifty "good men and true" who, this term, are called to serve as jurors should feel that the burden of the duty is more than they can with equanimity bear. The slow, crude and altogether faulty jury system has been with us for a long time, and doubtless is here to stay, hut society as a whole will welcome the time when some body of men. equal in rank with the bench, shall decide the facts, as the bench does the law. of the ease. No such cumbersome machinery, however, binds the hands of the District Magistrate. He is jury, judge and executing officer, interpreter and, in large measure, clerk. A good all-around man is needed for such a position in Honolulu, and we believe the Governor found such an one in Alexander Lindsay. Jr., who has just been apix>inted to the place. The mosquito campaign, inaugurated last month in earnest by the combined efforts of the Roard of Health and a general citizen movement, is a most hopeful and commendable warfare. The one pest of Hawaii is the mosquito, and any movement which has for its aim the extermination of the species or the amelioration of our condition in this regard should be hailed as a blessing and aided by every man among- us. That great results can he obtained by a systematic and energetic campaign against the mosouito has been proven beyond gainsay. Rut it means the earnest co-operation of every- Business conditions have shown a marked improvement. Our plantations have been more than usually fortunate in securing the advantage of teni]x>rarily high prices on the sugar market, and all branches of business have felt the stimulating results. Sugar stocks and bonds have risen rapidly all along the line, and although we have had no boom we have had a much needed relief from our depression. The project of a sugar refinery on our own shores, which for years has been talked of, was launched this month by Mr. E. L. Lewis of San Francisco. I'ut such fear has the great sugar trust instilled into our merchants that scarce one can be found to favor the undertaking lest thereby we shall bring down upon our heads the wrath of the Trust. That there is good ground for such a feeling we may rest assured, and the men who have the most money in the business are those most likely to understand the situation. One event on the mainland this month has so great and so far-reaching a bearing on Hawaii that we must mention it here. The legislature of Colombia has committed the folly of refusing the American prop' sition of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This seems necessarily to point to a Xicaraguan canal, a change which will be of great com- mercial importance to Hawaii. Nearer to us by mane hundred miles than the other route would have been and bringing the line of travel between the Atlantic states and the Orient directly across our group, it is a foregone conclusion that all ships making the trip will call here as a way port and coaling station. What this means to Hawaii, time alone will tell, but Providence seems to have destined this to be in reality as in name, "The Crossroads of the Pacific."

()n the other hand, when the guilt is present hut the evil is inflicted hy some power than the one whose duty it is 1toother restrain the misdemeanor from which it arose, the suffering is still not penalty. A negro criminal put to death by a mob of lynchers is not punished. He is murdered. He may deserve all he gets, but a mob of lynchers has no authority or rightful power for such a deed. Penalty is evil inflicted only by a rightful authority on the ground of guilt, and, as such, it is an expression of the sense which that authority lias of the hcinotisness of crime. ( ompare this view now with the one that the natutal consequences of sin arcits penalty. In the first place, we note that natural laws are not legal enactments. They (Id not represent the will of the government on moral questions. They simply register the method of ac tion of events that lie in the chain of cause and effect. They lie outside of the realm of free moral action. They carry witbrthem no thought of obligation and their natural result, as we have seen, is inevitable in the case of all alike who obey or disobey them. < >ver against these natural laws are the laws which express the will, purpose and commands of government. The attitud< of a moral being to these latter laws, determines his relation to the governing power. Tf his attitude is one of obedience and regard for the interests which the government cherishes and protects, he will stand in its favor, and receive its approval. If his attitude is one of hostility or disobedience to the laws, he will stand in disfavor and suffer whatever evil the government judges is necessary to protect the interests under its care. These laws, therefore, do not, like natural laws, operate blindly with the same results for all alike, without reference to character. They discriminate between the guilty and the righteous and deal out just awards to each. Xow Cod is tlii- Ruler of the universe. Do these principles Apply in His treatment (,f the sinner? The Scriptures certainly so represent it: "Whosoever comniitteth sin transgressetb also the law. for sin is the transgression of the law." This law is not a natural law, but the general law of obligation under which all moral beings exist and which God upholds as the fundamental law of His universe. Transgression of this law is therefore a sin against God, for which He judges the sinner guilty: and the teaching of the Scriptures is everywhere consistent that �THE FRIEND 10 it is the guilty who are punished, not those who indiscriminately, suffer from the Operation of natural forces. Those who hold to the latter doctrine are fond of quoting the passage in Gal. vi 7, "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap," but this sentence gains its force from the one before it, which makes the whole passage read: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowelh that shall he also nap." This plainly shows that the reaping is not the results occurring in harmony with some law in nature, hut the inflictions laid upon the sinner by the will and active active operation of God. We may freely grant that the sinner tna\ destroy himself by the violation of the laws of his own being, but the Scriplures plainly teach that the penalty of sin is something more than this—some thing emanating from the will of God The as an expression of His abhorrence of its guilt and wickedness. This biblical teaching is reasonable. Our moral nature, when allowed honest expression, assents to it as just and right. It furnishes no difficulty in the way of forgiveness. The sinner repents and God remits the consequences determined against him by his own will, at the same time leaving natural laws in full operation. As a part of the physical universe, the sinner is always of necessity a subject to these laws. As an erring child of God he is always free to adjust his actions to his Father's will and so merit His approval or condemnation: and whether his final recompense he reward or penalty, it will not In- the result of any blind force, but the act of God, who is the authority whose rightful power it is to deal with his case. /.

BEDUCATION OHTAEIGRMDCN The Missionary Herald for August makes the following statement concerning a recent action of the Prudential (ommittee: The Prudential Committee have set apart the twelve colleges and twelve theological schools for YOUng men, in the various fields where it is conducting its educational opera to tiotu. into a higher educational department, he provided for as far as possible, by funds received specifically for that purpose. Sinethis educational work is so vitally related to every other phase of our evangelizing enterprises, and since it has assumed such wide and distinctive proportions, it seems to the committee and officers of the Board that when these facts are fully known there will be no lack of generous and hearty support. This department, which provides for the higher and theological education of j.sjX choice voting men in Africa. Bulgaria, Ceylon, China. India. Japan, Turkey and Mexico, who are to In the true missionaries and Christian leaders among their own people, and in wheh forty-six American missionaries and t)t trained native Chris tian professors are engaged as directors and teachers, costs the American Board annually $49,000.

Nowhere else ill tile world are so extensive and epoch-making in stitutions maintained at so little cost to their founders Th* people themselves, in all of these countries, make large contributions in the form of tuition, fees, and free-will of fcrings for the support of these schools whose importance they widely recognize.

SRECTOPHAFEYVNGWLISCA N OCIATION This, the fortieth report of its kind, has just been published. It furnishes a com pact and interesting summary of the evangelistic and educational work under the Hawaiian Board, as well as that which has a more or less indirect relation to it. vVe publish below the intra ductory portion and the more general statement on the Hawaiian work: "The most notable event of the year was the withdrawal by the American Board of all financial assistance, and the assumption by this Hoard of the entire responsibility of the work in these islands. A burden of several thousand dollars was thus added to this Hoard. Negotiations have been begun with reference to the transference of all the properties held in these islands in the name of the American Board to a Board of Trustees, to be used in the interest of our work. Conincident with this a visit was made to these islands by Rev. C. 11. Daniels. I). I)., one of the secretaries of the American Board. Conferences were held with him and a clearer understanding yy;is reached of the condition and needs of our work. It is expected that the transfer will soon he made. It was a great pleasure to us all to receive this visit from Dr. and Mrs. Daniels. "The saddest event of the year was the death of Hon. J. P. Atherton, the President of the Board, who passed awayafter a lingering illness. This death is noted elsewhere. Hon. Henry Waterhouse, who for twenty years has heen Vice President, is elected President to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Atherton's death, and Mr. William W. Hall, who has been Treasurer of the Board for eighteen years, is elected Vice President.

Any attempt to judge it from other than a Hawaiian point of view would he misleading. If it is to he compared, it must he compared with itself, year with year and period with period. In such comparison, notwithstanding the unprecedented lack of re-enforcement from the theological school, the present state of the yvork docs not suffer. Vacancies in the ministry have been filled by intelligent and zealous laymen who, though they have not had the advantage of direct theological training, have profited by a large experience in Christian work. The condition of certain parishes is decidedly better than during the last decade, yyhile others arc about as they were, and some have lost ground. The gain or loss is not always attributable to the ministry; it is often due to the efforts or indifference of the lav element, though in most instances the pastor is to be held responsible. Sometimes the deterioration of a parish is due to influences over which neither pastor nor people have control. Although during the first troublous years of the last decade, when feeling was so intense and there was so much political agitation, the yearly additions to the churches steadily decreased, dropping to 100 in 1896, it' is encouraging to note that since our political status has been decided, there has been a return of confidence and kindlier feeling, a quickening "lii July, 1902, Mr. Timoteo -gan yvork in Hauula, giving some time towards church repairs. Later he was retained by Kaumakapili church to help pay off a debt. There was also a matter of house repair he felt the need of attending to, after which yvork was begun with good effect in the churches of Waianae and Waialua, and was carried further to the Koolau side of the island to the churches at Waikane and Hauula. As a result of this work a new stimulus was given to the life of these churches, the community was awakened to its duty, abuses were corrected, and accessions were made to the church membership. It is the testimony of Miss Mudge. principal of the Waiahote government school, that much good was done her pupils and to the community generally. "The next field effort was the Puna district, where all the churches were visited, house to house work done, and protracted meetings held. Differences were adjusted and grievances removed. Mr. Waikalai began again his interrupted work at Kamaili and Opihikao, and Mr. Keliipio was established as preacher to the people of the l'uula church, quite a number being added to the communion of each of the churches. The months of April and May and a portion of Junewere given by Mr. Timoteo to the churches on the island of Kauai with likewise satisfactory results. "In most of his tours Mr. Timoteo was accompanied by the Secretary, who gives evangelistic his testimony to the value of Mr. Timoteo's work and would acknowledge him as a skillful and yvisc co-worker, and one who is held in high esteem by those among whom he has labored."

( )ne No. 10 of the Japanese consuls, who made an extended tour of observation to many, if not to all of our Hawaiian sugar plantations, volunteered the statement that on those plantations upon which Christian evangelists were located, there he found his countrymen living under more favorable conditions than upon the plantations destitute of such teachers. On the 4th of last October, Mr. K. Ishida, who had completed three years of faithful work at Lihue, Kauai, took to himself a wife, and soon after with, his voiing bride left for San Francisco and Oberlin, at which later place he has been fitting himself for further work in the gospel ministry. Fortunately we were able promptly to place in the vacant field, Mr. J. Fukuda who has been faithfully at work there the past year. Just a year ago, Rev. H. Kozaki, once the president of the Doshisha University, of Kyoto, and now perhaps the most prominent of the Christian pastors of the capital city of Tokyo, completing his two months' visit to these Islands, and to all our Japanese mission stations, except the two on Kauai, took steamer with his wife for return to Japan. Six days before Mr. Kozaki sailed away, there arrived under the auspices of our Hoard, Rev. and Mrs. S. ()kubo, Christian workers of several years' experience in their native land. Under the stimulation of Mr. Kozaki's lead, the members of the Nuuanu street Japanese Congregational church, made a brave resolve to become a self-supporting church, calling Mr. Okubo to become their pastor, and pledging themselves for his support, and also for the funds required for running expenses. With the cordial approval of the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Okubo was released from his connection with the body who had met the most of the expenses of himself and wife in reaching Honolulu, and promptly enter upon the active duties of the pastorate. The formality of a regular installation has not yet taken place, and acknowledgement of ecclesiastical relationship to any body of Christians has not yet been made, but should not long be deferred. By the calling of a pastor, Mr. Okuniura who for nine years had been the efficient and successful leader of this first Japanese Congregational church, was released for other service. Under his lead a flourishing work has been established �THE FRIEND 4 among the Japanese living in the Makiki division of our fast expanding city. A chapel service has also within the year been organized under the hand of Rev. S. Kodama in the newly developing portion of our city lying S. E. of the entrance to the harbor, called Kakaako, where a very mixed population are jostling each other and of which the Japanese constitute a large element. Here in a swarming hive of humanity, where on almost every corner our paternal government has |>ermitted the opening of a liquor saloon, our faithful preacher is lifting up his voice declaring to men the pathway of life. Here the fountains of life and of death spring side by side. In February, Mr. and Mrs. N. Washiyama arrived for evangelistic work, and in March entered upon the Kohala field, which had lain unoccupied for eleven months, to our great loss. In Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Miss Koka, and other Christian friends in Kohala, the Washiyamas find most cordial and sympathetic helpers. The hope of the future lies in the children now coming on. At many points we find that a large portion of the pupils in the public schools are Japanese children. Our evangelists are thoroughly awake to the importance of reaching the children. The two flourishing hoarding schools for Japanese children at I lonoltilu and Honomu attest the estimate of our Japanese helpers to the importance of this work, and also the eagerness of the loving parents that their children should he surrounded with good influences and continued in touch with their own people and in acquaintance with their mother tongue. The influence for good of these two Christian hoarding schools with their 150 scholars, is inestimable. This gospel influence reaches not the children alone, but the parents and the whole surrounding community. Rev. D. Scudder, D.D., and Mrs. Scttdder after a year of preparation in Japan arrived May Bth, and entered at once upon work for our Japanese community. During his sojourn in Honolulu, Dr. Scudder has met many of those Japanese for whom he brought messages of love and remembrance from kindred in Japan. In .pursuance of this scheme of entering Japanese hearts by bringing to them messages from distant loved ones, Dr. Scudder has visited Maui and touched at Kohala, Hawaii. Regarding this kind of service the philosopher poet has said, "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." The success and fruitage of such a work of patience and love is assured.

First, what do they teach us as to kahunaism? We find it still a power in the land, yet I affirm my belief that its power has been much broken and that it is no longer such a menace to the life of the Hawaiian as it was a decade and a half ago. I remember how it surprised and startled me on my arrival in the field in 1889. I could not believe at first what was found to be true, that it lay like a pall on the entire native Christian community, that pastors as well as people were affected by it, that it dominated the church as well as the court, and that the most progressive men and women of the Hawaiian churches felt appalled by the outreach of it's activity. What was said of it by those who knew was hardly credited, so insidious and so secret were it's operations, and it was only by persistence that the churches were finally brought to action. At the annual meeting of the Hawaiian F.vangelical Association held in June, 1889, a committee was appointed to enquire into "the corrupt practices which vitiate our Christian life." This committee, of which Chief Justice Jtidd was chairman, secured a great mass of testimony from the pastors and leading laymen of the churches. The Chief Justice, who was at first a disbeliever in the charges that were made, became convinced of their truth. Then began the crusade against thiscolossal evil. The last years of Rev. James Bicknell were spent in leading that crusade, and he won among the natives a noble following. Two Sabbaths ago we ordained a native, who mentioned Mr. Bicknell as the one who had broken the power of his superstitious beliefs and brought him light. Two days later, when out on the wharf I heard this man discredit the story of a shark-god (aumakua) told by an ignorant fisherman, I could but feel that he had learned his lesson wisely. Where fifteen years ago, many native pastors confessed to being under the spell of kahunaism, there is hardly one today who does not stand ready to denounce it in his pulpit. Again, it is my belief that the general moral condition of the natives has improved, notwithstanding the corrupting, unsettling influences I have mentioned and that many have been unable to stand up against the temptations that have so fiercely assailed them. Many men and women, young and old, are living worthy Christian lives and are acting as well tried leaders of their people. With these, education has resulted in an improved home life, and a growing public sentiment working towards a better state of affairs. When all is said, the fact holds that a powerful influence for good goes forth from our hoarding schools and from our government schools, and that the tone and service of the latter has become more moral, more Christian, more effective. Not enough praise has been given to the good men and women who have labored in the schools for the betterment of the Hawaiian people. These years have been difficult and trying ones as a period of transition from the use of the mother tongue in instruction to the use of English and, for the time being, intellectual developarrested. But now that the change has been effected, and the difficulty of the adoption of a new language has passed, and its riches are coming within the grasp of the rising generatron, we may hope for great gains, and for added help where the kindergarten is at work upon life at its earliest and most impressionable age. One mark of advance is the careful scrutiny which is given the lives of the clergy. A man living an immoral life cannot now hold a pulpit and wield an influence. Churches and associations are more inclined towards acts of discipline which once were so difficult of achievement. Having had to conduct at least ten cases of discipline in the native ministry during the last fifteen years, I can testify to a quickening of the Hawaiian conscience. The first case was carried after long argument and pleading by a majority of two: in the last case there was a practically unanimous vote, the motion to discipline having been brought by the native pastors themselves ( >ne further point ought to be noted. In the churches, there is a decrease of tlte race feeling There is much still, more than there ought to be, but it is not virulent as in the past. During the days of the Provisional Government there were churches where it was difficult for a white man to get a hearing. Men who would then leave the church on my coming into the milpit, now listen to me trladlv. Though the political issues of the day stir animosity in the breasts of some, the feeling of the Hawaiian people toward the honest and friendly white man is far more kindly than it was. and they are amenable to the right kind of influence. Still further, during the last few years the membership of the churches has steadily increased. In iB<)6, there were but one hundred Hawaiians received into the churches, but since 1808, the year in which our nolitical status was decided, and during which the number of receptions was 1 17. the churches have been steadily rallying in this respect, and during the year just passed, 284 members were added to the roll. There is no reason for discouragement in the Hawaiian work, it is rather a time when it can be successfully pressed, In ment was . our dealing with the Hawaiian there is need of continued forbearance and active co-operation of the white missionary. The signs of the times in the churches of 1 lawaii encourage us to believe that with patient and wise leadership they will hold their own for many years to come, and that with a prudent expenditure in their behalf, their condition may be greatly improved. O. P. Emerson. OPEN LETTER. To the Editor of The Friend: Allow me to call your attention to a statement in your issue of September in which you say that I own a part of the original tract of land at Punahou which had been given to my father by the na- tive chiefs. Will you in your next issue please correct the above statement by saying that I do not own a single square foot of land anywhere. In the address to which you refer I offered to purchase a third of an acre of that land with a legacy left me by a sister, and to donate the same to Kawaiahao Church, provided the church would erect on it a building suitable for a parsonage. In reference to my mother's wish, you state that mv mother in 1843, expressed the wish in a letter to a friend that that land might be made to contribute to the support of Kawaiahao Church. By reference to that letter which was published in the Commercial Advertiser of August 31st, you will notice that she was giving a statement of what her plans had been several years before. It is due to her memory that I here repeat her own words, to which I desire to call careful attention. She wrote, "When Punahou passed into other hands I endeavored to regard it as a matter which the public good required; and though thoughts of public good of another kind had filled my mind, drawn forth my plans, and moved my feeble frame to many an hour's hard labor on that land, my thoughts were not disturbed by it. The underscoring is my own, but I make it to call attention to the fact that she was reviewing what had taken place years before without expressing a wish to undo it. Ido not remember her ever saying or intimating anything in her family that indicated that she regretted having given her approval to the disposition of the estate which my father had made. It is true that in that same letter she says, "There is one object for which I have labored—that church—my thoughts turn there, and I am disquieted;" (not "I am disputed," as reported in the Commercial Advertiser.) It was doubtless the ease, not that she would, at the time she was writing have had the land passed (Continued on Page 8). �7 THE FRIEND .The Friend from the beginning has liquor of all kinds when the fact is noted an outspoken temperance paper, that the Negro, Torto Rican, Portuguese r Rev.

The Negroes and Porto Ricans who made Islands. night hideous a year or more ago, when SHERIFF BROWN AND BEER SALOONS... the beer saloons were in full blast, have been arrested and forced to jail or to the Sheriff Brown claims a decrease in the states or to the plantations. The Sheriff amount of drunkenness and especially in ought not to be so modest as to ascribe the number of arrests for drunkenness in the results of these arrests to the beer these Islands—notably in Honolulu. He : ascribes this decrease to the recent increased number of lieer saloons. His statement has had great weight with a number of people, and deserves some careful study. It is to be hoped that there is less drunkenness—but we are not at all sure that this is a fact, because we find an increased demand for liquor licenses—and no decrease in the number of saloons. Less drunkenness will naturally make less liquor business. There ought to be less demand for saloons. Then again we all know that the Sheriff would like to have a larger police force in order to be able to reach more perfectly the outskirts of the city. With the spread of saloons, drunkenness and the need of arrests become more difficult for the police department to reach. It is a question whether even with the decrease in residents there is a decrease of drunkenness, although it is what we wish with all our hearts. THSERIFF'S IGURES. In his annual report to Governor Dole, covering the period from July I, 1902, to July 1, 1903, the Sheriff gives the following figures: In Honolulu the arrests for drunkenness numbered 1102, divided by months as follows: July (1902), 127; August, 99; September, 115; October, 83; November, 69; December, 100; January (1903), 89; February, 87; March, 74; April, 69; May, 86; June, 104. It seems strange that a statement favoring an increased number of beer saloons for the public weal could ever have been placed by any sane man by the side of the above figures, and the figures quoted in proof of the statement. The Sheriff knows that Primo beer saloons were running in full force in July, 1902, when 127 arrests were made. The U. S. District Court in California a short time ago upheld the contention of the Anti-Saloon League that these saloons were illegally licensed. By the last of September, 1902, these saloons were closed. In October, �THE FRIEND 8 the month after these saloons were out of business, the arrests fell from 115 to 83. Then as long as there were no Primo beer saloons the decrease in the number of arrests continued. Of course this decrease was due to the beer saloons, and if the Sheriff would say it was due to the closed saloons we might agree with him. This decrease continued until in April, 1903, there were 69 arrests without beer saloons as against 127 in July, 1902, with beer saloons. But the Legislature passed the beer bill in April, 1903, over the Governor's veto. At once applications for beer saloon linceses were poured into the Treasurer's office and were speedily and numerously granted with the result that in June, the number of arrests had increased to 104, an increase of 50 per cent in two months. The Sheriff's own figures prove the absolute untrastworthiness of the Sheriff's statement concerning beer saloons. This question would not have been worthy of such careful analysis if the statement had not been made by one whose, position should give his opinion weight. Many persons have been deceived by it. The real fact is that the argument for the saloon as a public beneficiary is one of the most fallacious arguments ever offered to a thoughtful public. It is said that the government needs the license money, but the cost of arrests, trials and punishments, amounts to a far greater expense to the government than can possibly be ballanced by the few thousand dollars received in licence fees. Meanwhile the government is continually made poorer in the poverty of its citizens. The destroyed business, the wrecked homes, the pauperized and ignorant children made by saloons, are a burden of great weight upon any government as well as upon the family itself. The benefit of saloons! Even the saloon keeper laughs at any credulous man who puts forth such a statement in good faith. W. D. Westervelt.

Not only are the plantations to be visited and those who do not know the gosped to be reached, but also as in Apostolic times, a large part of the missionary's work is visiting the churches. As already mentioned, the Hawaiian Board has established in the Islands five well organized churches for the Chinese. All of these churches have a good church building and a native preacher. Preaching services are held regularly every Sunday. The members attend well, although often it necessary for some of them to walk for several miles, and some also will ride horseback for ten or fifteen miles to attend a preaching service.

Our largest church, the one here in Honolulu, has had a peaceful year. Eighteen have been received into the church on the profession of their faith, sixteen by letter, and also eight children have been baptized. Every Sunday morning and evening there is preaching in Chinese by Mr. Wong or Mr. Thwing. The Sunday School is well attended, their offerings this past year, besides helping on the Chinese Hospital of Honolulu, are supporting a native preacher in China. The church members have raised half of the salary of Mr. Wong, and also helped in other ways. �THE FRIEND 9 ThWeraG otf od What is called the "New Theology," has nobly magnified the tenderness of the Divine Love. It has made prominent the rich and outreaching graciousness of God's disposition. It glorifies his Fatherhood which broods in profoundly loving care over the children he has created. But by a common human weakness, it has taken a partial and one-sided view, and has failed to apprehend and appreciate the opposite pole of the Divine character which involves intense antagonism to what is evil and malevolent and false. The "Wrath of God" is a term of frequent occurrence throughout the new Testament, occurring both in Gospels and Epistles. It is something that exists in a dread reality. "God is Love." His nature glows with a love whose tenderness is beyond all human conception. But that love is not to be thought of as excluding abhorrence of sin, and indignation against those who are committed to the evil way. Such a conception of the Divine nature is superficial and shallow. The Father's love not only cherishes and rejoices his children; it also protects them. He must by his holy rule defend them against the incursions of pollution and cruelty. What a fatherhood were that which was incapable of relentless war against the malignant destroyer. The Divine Nature may be conceived of as exhibiting opposite poles. He "is Light, and in him is no darkness at all." And vet his creatures may be abiding in an awful shadow, alienated from the heavenly radiance, and shut out in an "outer darkness." So as to the ineffable Love of God. The opposite and inevitable polarity of that love is an intensity of antagonism to whatever is subversive of the well-being of his children. It is a hatred of sin, and condemnation of all who cherish and support evil. God is the Holy and Righteous One. He intends the moral health and purity of his children. Wherefore the more perfect and boundless His love, the more complete is His wrath against evil. It is futile for any one to assume such a loving kindness in the Heavenly Father as would exclude the element of wrath. Our actual knowledge of God is bounded by what has been divinely revealed to man, and especially by what is revealed through the person and character of our Lord Jesus Christ. The light of Nature is obscure and dim as to the moral disposition of God. Nature abounds in things that are cruel and dark, so that many men have plausibly inferred great lack of benevolence in the Creator. All assurance we have that he is completely loving in disposition comes to us solely from the personal character and disposition of the Lord Jesus, who reflects and reveals to us the Father's nature. Now what disposition did Jesus actually display during his brief ministry? There was certainly a marvellous loving kindness, compassion, mercy, approachableness, and boundless self-devotion in ministering to want and suffering. He was tender-hearted, sympathetic and pitiful to the utmost. So in his parable of the shepherd toiling over stony deserts with bleeding feet, he reclaims his lost sheep. But was loving compassion the entirety of his disposition? How did he feel towards the wolves who cruelly destroyed his sheep? Was there no flaming out of wrath against the wolves? We may say that the severe side, that of righteous anger, was fully represented in our Lord and Master. Perhaps nowhere in Bible literature is the element of holy wrath more vigorously expressed. Read Matthew 23: 13-36, and the parallel passage in Luke n: 37-52. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites," "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" When we thus behold the holy flame of indignation that filled the pure soul of Jesus against inveterate doers of cruel evil, how can we fail to infer that the Father whom he perfectly represented does not feel a like indignation and abhorrence which is fitly termed the "Wrath of God. ?" It must be a necessary truth that the perfection of the Divine benevolence involves the strongest antagonism and opposition to what is polluting and injurious. Conservation of the holy and the reclaiming of the unholy which inspire the deepest desire of the infinite Father's heart necessarily imply destructive war upon whatever opposes those ends. Hence our assertion in Matt. 13: 41, that "His angels shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire ; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Such is the tremendous and resistless sanitation executed by God's love and its attendant, wrath, against evil. Wherein as it seems to us the older creeds erred, and later views have a right tendency, was in the former having erected the so-called justice of God into a vast and rigid central element of his character whose unbending nature excluded the free action of the Father's loving compassion. A more enlightened and more scriptural interpretation gladly recognizes the broader truth that the * * tenderness of his Fatherhood dispenses with the rigid exaction of penalty. There is rich and free forgiveness with God. His grace abounds in healing and uplifting power. His weak, erring and sinful children are dealing with a Father of infinite compassion and almighty grace, who does not exact penalty or visit their iniquities upon the penitent. He forgives. He blots out our transgressions. He remits penalty. He heals, uplifts, accepts, draws close the poor and hungering souls to the fatherly bosom of infinite love. We sinful ones may lift our eyes with glad assurance to the infinite mercy. But all this leaves no comfort of hope to the hard and inveterate sinner. Of those who persistently turn away from the heavenly mercy, determined in sin, it is said that "the wrath of God abideth on them." God's fatherhood it has been well said is not a grandfatherhood; it is not weak and senile. It is holy and protective. S. E. B. MAKAWAO FOREIGN CHURCH. The Foreign Church of Makawao holds a regular service every Sunday morning. The Sabbath School, which convenes just before the preaching service, is well attended, consisting of primary and intermediate departments and a Bible class. Mrs. Fanny M. Simpson has charge of the primary department and conducts it on kindergarten principles, which seems most beneficial and enjoyable to the little children. During the school year about fifty students from Maunaolu Seminary form an interesting part of the congregation. Dr. Beckwith, the beloved pastor of this church, is in good health and able to be much among his people. Occasionally the pulpit is occupied by visiting clergymen from Honolulu and abroad. Contributions are made annually to the support of a Japanese minister in this district, Maunaolu Seminary and the Hawaiian Board. Among the women of the church is an organized missionary society which is a branch of the Woman's Board. They have also a Ladies' Aid Society, the work of which is devoted to this community. This society supports several kindergarten assistants and helps whenever possible in the needs of the church. Kindergartens are carried on at Paia and Haiku plantations. These are maintained by the plantations but are under the direction of a committee from the Ladies' Aid Society. �THE FRIEND 10 and with lightning flashes for a while most terrifying, but most warm and cheering was the welcome when at last the beautiful farm house was reached. first attended worship in the city.

This past summer the work has been finished of putting the entire group of buildings under an iron roof, and now there is a small army of painters at work. The whole dormitory has been overhauled; the teachers' rooms and the parlors repapered the dormitory proper, the sewing room, the dining room, the kitchens and the girls' reception room have been cleansed and repainted. The painters are now at work putting two coats on the exterior of the entire group of Seminary buildings. Much of this work could not have been done it the Honolulu merchants had not made generous contributions towards it. After this work is finished there yet remains to be done the building of a long needed wash and bath house. We want $500 for this object. This with a $50,000 endowment will keep the Board of Managers silent for some years to come. ; The girls are eagerly looking forward to an initiation into the game of basket ball, a set of which has been given the Seminary. Mrs. Bristol, the new principal, comes to her task with a close knowledge of Island life and particularly of work among Hawaiian girls. For sonic years her husband, who is now taking a post graduate course in Berkeley, was registrar of the Kainehameha Schools. Miss Thorn, the primary music teacher, is a graduate of Northfield Seminary and of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Miss Rose continues her duties as matron of the school. Miss Esther Akuna continues to fill the position of sewing and weaving teacher. Last year the school had sixty girls in attendance and as many are expected again this year.

Once a month Mr. Turner holds a ministerial Union Meeting at the parsonage, at which time all the different workers of the Hawaiian Board meet. The first half hour is given to devotional thought and to prayer. 1 hep follows the discussion of some homiletical topic and the diagnosis of the moral condition of the community. These meetings were held during the last year and were found to be a great help to the different workers. PORTUGUESE MISSION OF HILO.

SCHOOLS, ISLAONMDEVIEWS At Kawaiahao Seminary there are 71 pupils at this writing, and it seems as though the school has Opened most auspiciously. It is interesting to note that this native Stronghold is becoming more and more a school for mixed races. When one reflects it will be seen that it is very imixirtant that there be a school where Chinese and Japanese girls can get sonic conception of a Christian home. There arc almost as many girls of other races as there are Hawaiian girls in the school at this time. The Hawaiian girls might go to three other seminaries, but where else could the Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese girls go? Following are the new teachers in the school: Miss Edna Skinner takes Miss Ilerckncr's place in the sewing department ; Miss Nellie Wadington has the primary work; Miss Cooledge (late pf Makawao) takes the music. At Mills Institute there has been a finerally after the vacation. The eclat with which the school closed last year did much to increase the demand for places and there are 70 boarders besides ;• goodly number of day pupils. It is surprising to see what an Americanizing influence that school has had already on the Chinese community. ()ne has only to attend a public function to wonder whether the boys are really Chinese. The spirit of the founder and mainspring of the institution, Mr. F. W. Damon, is always evident, however: the effort, to be sure, is to LAmericanize, but more,—it is to Christianize. Mr. Herlicrt Moore is the only new teacher, while Miss Harriet Austin has charge of the study-hours. Kohala Seminary has a new lease of life. It is at least significant that they have a new principal, too, and the fact that the buildings have been undergoing extensive repairs is not unrelated to be foregoing. Mrs. W. W. Bristol, late of Kaniehameha before going up to Kohala to take charge, made a canvas of the city and collected a considerable amount of materials and money for a complete overhauling of the old buildings, and as there was money laid aside in the treasury for this purpose it is believed that the whole aspect of the place has been much improved. We have not learned as yet whether the number of pupils exceeds that of last year, but it seems quite probable. MacDonahl of Kamehameha have charge there and have liecn able to secure sonic good assistants, we feel sure. These two are peculiarly well adapted to take charge of such a work, and the solid character of the training is assured. It may not be known to many that Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald have most fortunate backing for any religious effort they may feel like putting forth, by reason of the basis on which the government holds control of the property connected with the school. At any time that there should be any religious instruction at variance with the creed expressly stated in the instrument the property reverts to the A. H. C. F. M. with the understanding that a school be carried on in accordance with the plan of the school in its inception by the American Hoard. This good old hoarding school, in which some of the best 1 lawaiians of these and former days were educated, is thereby freed from the absurd ban which "Uncle Sam" in his desire for religious liberty, sees tit to place upon religious instruction in the public schools.

"You are right," was the reply; "and have you, then, learned to practice all the duties which I have already put before you?" The man was obliged to admit that he had hot as yet.

Why? let some one tell. Now that we are in the heat of politics, one notices an oft recurring phenomenon. It comes out of race differences. It is a curious thing that most of the prominent Hawaiians of today, —the leaders of the people, have white blood in them. Without mentioning names, it only requires a casual glance at such names to prove this point. Now, when these leaders begin to draw race lines they invariably speak of "our" blood, —"our" race, etc. One might fairly ask, "which blood?" There is never any misunderstanding however; they always mean their native blood, even though some of them are very Anglo-Saxon in appearance. Why this is so, it were hard to say, but here, as in America, the men of the most bit- ' The appointment by Pre- Governor Dole sdent j Roosevelt of Govto Become a ernor San ford B.

It places the approval of the Washington Administration upon a public officer who has been maligned by partisan enemies almost beyond any man of his time, and furnishes an example of how steadfastness of purpose in maintaining a right course has been finally able to triumph over the unscruplous and relentless persecutions of those whose hatred he had incurred in the discharge of his manifest duty. The calm and No. ii judicial attitude and temper maintained by Governor Dole through all the trying experiences through which he has passed since he became prominent in public affairs ten years ago, is sure to give him a secure place in the history of this Territory. The Territory as well as Mr. Dole himself is to be congratulated on the fact that his services are still to be retained in a position in which he will be able to enjoy the fruits of his past efforts in a life of greater quiet to himself, and in which the Islands will still have the benefit of his wisdom and experience. Mr. George R. Carter whom the President names as Governer Dole's successor will come to his office with many questions still unsolved, but with many of the olel elifficulties which confronted his predecessor removed. From the latter point of view he will be in a sense the first governor to be begin his administration uneler really American conditions. It is gratifying that a citizen of the Territory has received this appointment. REV. OLIVER P. EMERSON. It is with the deepest regret that we the resignation of our brother who has for fifteen, years past occupied the office of Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, a very much longer time than any other incumbent has held that office. The members of the Board anel its committees will greatly miss Mr. Emerson's genial smile, as well as his prudent and experienced counsel anel his absorbing interest in the work of Christ's Kingdom in Hawaii. Mr. Emerson's resignation of the office became consequent upon the severe measures for retrenchment of expense necessitated by the late financial depression in Hawaii, and diminished receipts of our Treasury, combined with the fact that at this difficult juncture the American Board finally withdrew the aid which it had hitherto lent, throwing upon the Hawaiian Board the support of Mr. Emerson and some others. It was in 1888, that at the earnest call of our Board, after the death of the former Secretary, Rev. A. O. Forbes, Mr. Emerson resigned an important pastorate which he had occupied for seven years in Peacedale, R. I. His work there had been most successful, particularly among the operatives of that manufacturing town, and his departure was attended note �4 THE FRIEND by the strongest expression of regret from leading members, especially of the Hazarel family, a tlaughtcr of which became the tlistinguisheel head of Wellesley College.

ALICE GORDON GULICK. VV« are called to chronicle .the passing away of one of the noblest and most successful missionary women of this age, one whom we have learned to admire and love, not only from report, but by brief personal intercourse during two visits to Honolulu in her husband's native land. Mrs. Gulick was born in Boston, Aug. Bth, 1847, the daughter of James M. Gordon, for sixteen years the treasurer of the American Board. She was educated at Mt. Holyoke, and for two years teacher there. In Dec, 1871, she was married to Rev. Wm. H. Gulick, and went with him at once to Spain to open the mission there. For thirty years they conducted that work with ever growing success amid severe obstacles. Their center of action was San Sebastian, which has grown into a great center of Protestant education and evangelization. The most notable feature of that mission was Mrs. Gulick's great Institute for the education of Spanish girls, which with a corps of able assistants she concluded for thirty years, removing it at the opening of the Spanish-American war to the adjacent city of Biarritz in in France. So remarkable was the success of that school, that latterly its graduates repeatedly carried away the highest prizes in examinations at the University of Madrid. That work has culminated in the establishment at Madrid upon an excellent site of its own. of the International Institute for Girls, created chiefly by Mrs. Gulick's persistent and devoted personal efforts. The noble founder did not survive to witness the opening of the Institute this autumn. After a summer in Switzerland in failing health, she was taken to the home of Lady Henry Somerset in London where she nassed away September 14th. The urgent necessities of the opening of the Institute dearest to her heart had forbidden her husband to attend her last days. ()ne has but to glance at the strong, sweet, benignant features of the picture of Mrs. Gulick to recognize there a most remarkable personality. Those who knew her have glorifieel her youthful vivacity and enthusiasm, growing into spirituality and consecration, with a power of purpose anil benevolent action which Mrs. wrought its wondrous result. Gulick was the strong and successful pioneer of Woman's Education in Spain. With all the power of her loving and open-hearted nature she identified herself from the first with Spain's repressed mothers and daughters, and gave the whole strength of her genial and forceful life to their emancipation. She will always be remembered as the successful leader in that great work. It was her exhausting labor in procuring the means for the Institute that shortened her life. Mrs. Gulick's loving nature made her a blessed minister of comfort at the close of the Spanish war to the suffering Spanish prisoners at Portsmouth, and afterwards an angel of cheer and enthusiasm to the crowd of teachers from Cuba who were the guests of Harvard College. For these tasks, both her knowledge of Spanish and her loving personal magnetism eminently qualified her. Our eleepest sympathies are with the bereaved husband, who yet is blessed in over thirty years companionship with so rare and noble a soul. Together they had lately passed through successive sore and sudden bereavements of their two noble sons, to whom the mother is now restored in the home above. There many saintly ones have greeted her, high in noS. E. B. bility among them all. SIXTY YEARS AGO. The following extracts are taken from the November issue of Tiik Friend of 1843: (The U. S. Corvette "Cyane" brings George Brown, Commissioner from the Government of the United States), "on landing he was received by l'aki, and other chiefs, and presented his credentials to her Excellency, the Premier, at her own resilience." (At one o'clock that clay the Commissioner is introduced to the King—Kamehameha 111, and, among other things, he says) "Allow me to congratulate your Majesty upon the interest taken in you and your country by one of the most powerful anel free nations of the earth, as evinceel by the unanimous vote of its Representatives that a diplomatic intercourse should be opened with you. It must be a matter of great satisfaction to your Majesty to think, that while not a quarter of a cen,tury has elapsed since your country was in a state of heathenism, such progress has been maele in civilization and Christianity (Frank, wasn't it? and just a little condescending, too. One cannot help noticing that Commissioner Brown distinguishes "civilization" and "Christianity" and well he might. Poor King "Kaukeoli" was doing his best to ward off some of our American, French and English civilization, in the shape of liqours,—ineffectually too.) "Next to the gratitude clue from you to the Almighty Disposer of events, you owe under Him to those who for the welfare of your people, left their friends and country to teach them the blessing's of Christianity and the arts (some arts, Ed.) of civilization" (It seems to be probable that neither Commissioner Rrown nor the King were much accustomed to the word "Damn" before the worel missionary,— but we live in an age of progress) Religious Tolerance (Certainly "unhappy collisions" having taken place between the Catholics and the protestants, Kamehameha makes the following proclamation:—) Ist.

Between Sep. ioth and Nov. ist, there were over sixty vessels to arrive at Honolulu and thirty for Lahaina. Examination shows that this number is somewhat less than the usual quota for the winter months, particularly at Lahaina, where the whalers congregated. EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF REV. EPHRAIM W. CLARK, A MEMBER OF THE SECOND REINFORCEMENT OF MISSIONARIES TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. March 29, 1828. Off Hawaii! Last night as the wind blew almost a gale, and the Captain supposed we were near land, he shortened sail. This morning about seven o'clock, Hawaii, to our no small gratification, burst upon our view. Soon after, we hatl a delightful prospect of Mauna Kea. It raised its snow-white summit far above the clouds. We are now directing our course towards Oahu, with Hawaii and Maui in full view. March 30th. Sabbath. Through the good providence of God we have arrived off the harbor of Honolulu. Soon after our afternoon worship we hove to and a boat came to us from a ship laying at anchor. We have learned to our no small satisfaction that the missionaries now at Honolulu, are all well. Our feelings on approaching the spot to which we have been anxiously looicing forward for five long months, can be better imagined than described. Nothing can exceed the wildness of the scenery which Oahu presents as now seen from the ship. Among these moun- arrival. tains and vallies we expect to spend our lation: days in guiding souls to Jesus. We hope soon to greet some of the beloved missionaries, and rejoice and praise God with them on our safe arrival. March 31st. We have at length arrived safely at our long desired haven. Soon after we anchored last evening, we directed a line to Mr. Bingham, informing him of our arrival. Before dark, Messrs. Bingham, Goodrich, and Chamberlain came out to the Parthian and bid us a joyful welcome. The interview seemed more like the meeting of long absent friends than entire strangers, immediately on entering the cabin, Mr. Bingham exclaimed, "The Lord has been better to us than our fears." The next day Mr. Goodrich came on board to assist us in preparing to land. About eleven o'clock, most of us with part of our effects, landed on the beach about half a mile from the mission house, where we were met by Mr. Bingham anel Mr. Hunnewell. The beach was so thronged by natives eager to shake hands with the new missionaries, we could hardly press our way through them. Aloha, Aloha, resounded from a thousand mouths. ()n our way to Mr. Bingham's, we called on Kaahumanu, (the Queen Regent) and were severally in-a troduced to her. She received us with smiling countenance, and said she was much rejoiced on account of our arrival. She accompanied us to Mr. Bingham's where we met several other chiefs. We then united in offering to God a tribute of thanks for our safe arrival, and our supplications for the continuance of His blessing upon this favored mission. April 2nd. When we arrived, Boki, (the Governor of Oahu) was absent. He returned today, and soon informed Mr. Bingham, that he should be happy to meet the new missionaries. We immediately paid him our respects at the house of Kekuanaoa the commander of the standing army. Boki and the General met us a little distance from the door and politely escorted us into the house. We were then introduced to Madam Boki, Nahienaena, sister of Kauikeaouli the young King, and several other chiefs. After we were seated, Boki handed Mr. Bingham a line containing an expression of his feelings on our arrival. The following is a literal translation, "Love to you ye missionaries who have now come hither to this place. I am made joyful by you on account of your arrival here. It is God doubtless that has caused you and us to meet together just now. My heart is sorry that J was residing in another place. Na Boki." After Boki's communication was read and translated, Kaahumanu presented in writing her views and feelings on our The following is a literal trans- "Kind affection for you all, ye missionaries all, the company of kindred beloved. This is my sentiment, the love and great joy of my heart towards God, on account of His sending you hither to help us, that you and we may dwell together in the shade of His salvation, and in His name that we anel you may labor affectionately for Him. Joy is mine and great rejoicing towards you all on account of His again to support us here. sending you hither My heart thanks Gotl for our being now blessed by His causing us now personally to meet together.

After they were read and replied to, a large and elegant Bible which we brought was presented to Boki and another to Kaahumanu; also to Kaahumanu, an engraving of the Lord's Supper. Boki wished to know if the Bible contained the whole of the Word of God, and how long it would take to translate it all into the native language. After this interview we all repaired to the chapel to attend a stated service in the native language. There were a thousand or more attentive hearers present. It was a sight truly delightful to the heart of a Christian. At the close of the service two couple neatly dressed were united in marriage. Boki accompanied the missionaries to Mr. Bingham's, and took tea with them. (To be continued.) CHANGES IN CHINESE CIVILIZATION. (A part of an address before the Honolulu Ministerial Union, Oct. 18, by the Rev. W. D. Westervelt.) A student of Chinese affairs must recognize the dawn of great changes. Day rapidly follows dawn, and the changes are historical while we are looking for them in prophecy. This is very greatly true in China. While we read of superstitious China fearing disturbance of ancestors by the puffing of steamers and the song of winds along telegraph wires, the Chinese themselves organize and control the China merchant steamship line which sends a host of steamers of all sizes throughout all the waters ways of the empire without any regard to ancestors. Telegraph lines are stretched from province to province, sometimes operated by Chinese themselves. Far inland we see the Chinaman on a bicycle outrunning the ancestral ghosts. Railroads are projected and in some places are under operation.

"A promise is a promise forever," answered Lincoln, "and when made to a mother it is doubly binding." The secontl incident is brought out by the story of a temperance meeting held in 1847 near Springfield, 111., in which Lincoln manifestetl his interest in saving boys: "A large company of people bail gathered to hear the famous young lawyer. The meeting was helel out of doors, uneler the shade of the trees, and after an earnest plea for total abstinence from the use of intoxicating beverages, Mr. Lincoln proeluced a paper upon which the feillowing pleelge was printed as a heaeling: ' 'Whereas, the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is productive of pauperism, degradation and crime, and believing it is our duty to discourage that which proeluces more evil than gootl, we therefore pledge ourselves to abstain from the use of intoxicating lii|tiors as a beverage.' " "Mr. Lincoln told the people that he had signed this pleelge and was inviting his neighbors to do the same. Many signed the pledge. " 'The first thing I knew, said Breckinridge in telling Dr. Russell the story, "the speaker was standing in front of me. He said to me, 'Sonny, don't you want your name on this pledge?' I saiel, 'Yes, sir.' He said, 'You know what it means, that you are not to drink intoxicating liquor?' I said 'Yes, sir.' He asked me my name and I toltl him 'Cleopas Breckenridge.' He wrote my name upon the paper anil then he transferred the paper to his left hand and holding the paper and pencil in his left hand, he leaned over and laid his right hand upon my head and said: 'Now, Sonny, you keep that pledge, and it will be the best act of your life.' " "Breckenridge told Russell his life story since that time. He related how he had passed through numerous temptations, both to sell liquor and to drink it, when he kept tavern on the old trail across the plains, 50 miles east of Denver, Colorado, and while he served four years as a soldier in the Civil War, but he resisted all such temptations and has become a prosperous, happy old farmer with his children and grandchildren growing up about him and he says the pledge he made to Abraham Lincoln has been one of the essential elements in the success of his lie." THE FRIEND GENERAL COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY On Wednesday, the 28th of October, the community was plunged into universal and heartfelt grief by the call from our midst of Judge Morris M. Estee. For the past three years, since these islands became a territory of the United States, there has not been a more prominent nor a more universally respected man in our midst than the late judge of the United States District Court. The eulogies lavishetl upon him from the pulpit and in the press leave nothing to be said in this cursory anel brief review. But the sorrow of all who knew him, anel the deep grief of his intimate friends bear testimony stronger than any words could do of the character of the man. Ile was the great example as he was the great exponent of American citizenship in its best, its broadest and its truest sense; a man whose integrity was unimpeachable, whose sense of justice and right was, as far as man's may he, infallible; whose interest and whose frienelships were broad anel far-reaching; whose knowleelge of the law was great, whose life was pure, whose relations with his fellow men were so faultless that even in the heat of poli- tical strife they remained unassailable and unassaileel. Most sincerely do we hope that his successor will be in this community the power for righteousness, honesty and truth as he to whose memory a thousand of his fellow citizens united in paying their last tribute as his body left for its final resting place on the steamship Alameda. Another noted citizen has, this month, been taken from us. Robert Wilcox has for twenty years been one of the most conspicuous figures in our life here. From the time that he was chosen as one of the Hawaiian youth to he sent abroad and educated to the clay of his death his name has been known wherever Hawaii and its history has been heard of. He has won notoriety as the organizer of two insurrections, as the recognized political leader of the Hawaiians and as the first delegate of this Territory to Congress. With no great mental acumen, with no great knowledge of the world, with no remarkable presence, adelress or physique, we look in vain for the reason of the power he held over his countrymen. We believe, however, that by many of the Hawaiians he was sincerely beloved, and although his last rites have been marred to make political capital, we, with the rest of the community must needs pay our respects to the memory of one who has, so largely by his own efforts, raised and helel himself in so high a position among his countrymen. In the courts much work has been done since last we reviewed their acts. In the court just left vacant by the death of Judge Estee an unrelenting and resistless warfare is being waged on those elespicable creatures who gain a livelihood by the barter of the virtue of another. No movement has ever been put on foot in Honolulu which deserves and which should receive such hearty support from every Christian citizen as this. It is pitiable that any human being should sink to the level of her who gains a livelihood on the streets of this city, but that she should be forceel into such a life by some accursed brute in order that he may reap the gains of her tlisgrace should rouse every man in the community to action and the war on such should never cease till the last be elriven from our shores. This, together with other matters as yet unknown to the community at large, has occupied the attention of the Feeleral Grand Jury. Rumor, however, has it that they have also taken up the matter of the missing vouchers of the last House of Representatives. The destruction of such papers not only is a disgrace to the community but as well an offence against the laws of the United States. It is to be hopeel that a fearless Federal Court will lay its hand so heavily on the offenders that this scheme of dishonesty anay never be tricel again. . The final and most serious attack on the liquor laws of the Territory was made this month before Judge Gear. His Honor, however, in holding that all the liquor laws of the Republic are still in force whether specially re-enacted or not has saveel US from a spectacle eif a community with little if any restraint on the liquor traffic. The notorious suit against Brewer & Company, Ltd., for $113,000 instituted by a hui of young men of the community merely as a matter of speculation, was given its death blow by a ruling of the late Juelge Estee that the offence, if any was committed, occurred before the law framed to punish it was enacted. The burden of paying the $1445.93 of costs now falls on the speculators. �.

In the first place, he is a leader in the sports and has lent an impetus to football which will develop the first football team that ever came out of the school. He does not forget the sick at the hospital, and above all he is present the highest of ideals of Christian living, and is giving utterance in no uncertain way to the one gospel, the love of God through Jesus Christ.

One of the most enjoyable gatherings of the people from the Far East, was a social meeting held in the grounds of the Japanese church of Hilo. Mr. Yajima, the pastor, sent out invitations, to the Chinese and Koreans, to meet with his Japanese Christians in a social meeting of Oriental Christians. It was a pleasant time to get acquainted with our brothers from over the water. By the siele of the church door a large inscription was written in twelve Chinese characters : "Tung Yeting Kituk kau to lun hop tai tsan nnik vi." In Japanese it read: "To yo Kiristei Kyo to, den get tai shim beiku kwai." In Korean the sounds would still be different, but since Chinese, Koreans anel Japanese, although speaking different languages, all make use of the Chinese character, the meaning was plain to all. Literally the inscription reaels: "Eastern eieean Christ's church disciples joined united kindly harmony meeting," oras we would say: "A union social meeting of Oriental Christians." All entered into the spirit of the gathering, anel there was friendly converse between Japanese and Koreans, Chinese and Japanese, often indeed, where the spoken language would fail, by the use of those wonderful t hi nese characters. Mr. Mo, the Chinese preacher, made a short address in Chinese, which was put into English by Mr. Thwing, anel again into Japanese by Dr. Scudder. He said as follows: "It is a great pleasure to be here at this meeting of our Oriental Christians, coming from different lands, but bound together by the love of Christ. That love iiule'eel woulel be able to make a tunnel through the very earth itself, anel join the Occielcntal to the Oriental. "There is only one elraw back to our meeting, anel that is the fact that we cannot well understand each other. That Tower of Babel has well mixeel up the language of man, but one thing, I believe. Jesus Christ is building a tower in his church, which will ineleeel overtop the tower of old Babel. Christ's tower will indeed reach up to heaven, forming a stairway f<ir man from earth to God. This tower of the church will bring all nations together in happy unity and hasten the time when we shall have one God, one country and one language." There was a song by the children of the llonomu hoariling school, the Koreans sang in their own language, and a picture was taken of the gathering. All enjoyed the occasion greatly and will hope to meet in this social way again at some future time.

In the domestic department all the work is done by the girls; washing, ironing and all cleaning, besides the preparation of food for both teachers and girls. An average of twenty-five loaves of bread are baked daily. Cakes, cookies, bread, doughnuts, etc., are made and sold by the girls and often twenty-five dollars is taken in at one of these sales. After a year's training, one of the older girls is quite capable of taking charge of this department, and in the absence of the matron takes entire charge of the girls and work. A cooking class has been formed and great interest is shown in this new line of work, although we have not the equipment for more than a limited training. Each girl's work is changed at the end of each term so that she may have the advantage of getting as much as possible in the year. At the expiration of each term the progress which each girl has made is most encouraging. We find the girls interested and eager to learn to do their work in the very best way. PORTUGUESE WORK IN HONOLULU. By Rev. A. V. Soares. The last Sunday in September was our Sunday school "Rally Day." There was a fine attendance and nearly all present, even many in the infant department responded to the roll-call with a scripture verse. Rev. G. L. Pearson of the Methodist church dropped in on us and encouraged us by a few kindly words. One of the new features of our work is a sewing class for girls, which meets in the Sunday-school Infant Department room of the church. It numbers twentyfour bright, interesting girls, not only of our own, but some from outside. The Ladies' Missionary Society are having the pew cushions in the Sunday school room renovated. We were glad to see Rev. W. D. Westervelt at our church prayer-meeting a few weeks ago. He gave us a little talk which encouraged us and gladdened our hearts. We are always pleased to welcome those who are interested in us. at our services. Good attendance and good behavior still prevail at our street meetings at Kewalo. On returning from one of these meetings one night last week we stepped into Mr. Ryder's little mission and enjoyed a short season of fellowship. The parsonage is undergoing much needed repairs.

Five children were receivetl from the Kindergarten. This is the first time such a transfer has been made. The refining influence of the Kindergarten training is noted in the general appearance of the little ones, and in the readiness with which they adapt themselves to their new school surroundings. There has been a marked increase in attendance at the Chinese church services, and Sunday School. One very encouraging feature of the work is, the class of Chinese young men that meet at the settlement Thurselay anel Friday evenings of each week for the study of English; Friday evening being a union of Chinese anel Japanese. At the same time Chinese children are often gathered in groups engaged in games. It is hoped that in seeking for the mastery of a new language there may be found the "unsearchable riches of Christ." three hours at Mokuaweoweo. 18th.—Japanese Ootani, when drunk killed by fall from veranda on Liliha street.

Suppose ten million dollars to be put into a country, in the enterprise of evangelization, and half of it lost, while the evangelization goes triumphantly on. Is it becoming to put on sack-cloth and ashes over the lots? Christians in America lose ten times that —yea, fifty times that sum, every year, in stocks and mines and various .peculations. After the victory of Gettysburg imagine a man walking about the field wringing his hands, and frying: "(), what a loss! Look at this destruction of property, ruined gun-carriages anel caissons and valuables (aerified. Think of the awful expense of ammunition I Why, this one battle has involved a loss of millions and millions of dollars for which we, the people, have toiled so long!" What will any patriotic American say to such an idiot as this? What, then, shall we think of those who shrink from the enterprise of evangelizing the lands that need it most, lest property should lie sacrificed in the process? What shall we think of those who fear to press the work in Lands where the' call is loudest, because <>f the danger to the elollars? Dear Christian people, the Master has charge' of the deillars you devote' to him. Pear not. The Pentecostal Christians lost money too, but the loss was gain, as it is in all victorious progress. It would pay to burn up a large pile of bank notes, if the light of their burning could only enlighten the world. In conclusion: Firstly, no larger proportion of property is destroyed in Turkey than in the United States: secondly, one dollar used in Christian enterprise' in Turkey, accomplishes about as much as ten dollars used for a similar purpose in this country; third, the clanger to the dollars is not the greatest clanger to which Christian! in this worlel are subjected fourth, it is better to trust in the I.old and go ahead, than to lie awake nights with anxiety lest He fail to take care eif what we have elevotcd to his cause.— Comrrcgationalist. : SCIENCE AFFIRMING CREATIVE POWER. One of the most remarkable of the deliverances of scientific men on the subject of religion, whether regarel be had to the standing of the author of the remark, or to the circumstances under which it was uttered, was the eleclaration recently maele before a brilliant assemblage of notable thinkers in London by Lord Kelvin, when he said: "Science positively affirms creative power." The occasion of the remark was a lecture delivered by Professor G. Henslow, on "Present-Day Rationalism; An Examination of Darwinism." On moving a vote of thanks to the lecturer, Lord Kelvin said that he could not agree with the speaker, that science neither affirms nor denies creative power. Science, continued Lord Kelvin, makes every one feel a miracle in himself. It is not in elead matter that we live and move and have our being, but in the creating anel directing power which science compels us to accept as an "article of belief." Men cannot escape from that when they study "the physics and dynamics of living and dead matter all arounel." "Modern biologists are coining once more to a firm acceptance of something, and that is a vital principle." Men "only know God in His works," yet are "absolutely forced by science to admit and to believe with absolute confidence in a directive power— in an influence other than physical, dynamical, electrical forces." Cicero denied that men could come into being by a fortuitous concourse of atoms. Is there, asked Lord Kelvin, anything so absurd as to believe that a number of atoms, by falling together of their own accord could make a sprig of moss, a microbe, a living animal? Men may be free in their thought, be said, but with that freedom of thought they are bound to come' to the conclusion that .science is not antagonistic to religion, but a help for religion. It is perfectly evident from these remarks, and from his known views otherwise expressed, that Lord Kelvin, who is perhaps the le'adint, physicist in the world, believes that science itself afforels a testimony, a real knowledge, that there is a spiritual influence in the' world about us. We are not surprised to read in "The London Times" that Lord TCcay, who presided at University College, at the lecture aforementioned, on the conclusion of Lord Kelvin's short adelress, congratulated the Association before whom it was delivered, on the proceedings that day, adding that it was "a granel thing to hear that prince of science. Lord Kelvin, give his testimony on behalf of religion." In a letter to "The Times" written subsequently to the meeting referred to, Lorel Kelvin toeik pains to discriminate the formation of a crystal from that of living things, saying that the description "fortuitous concourse of atoms" is utterly absurd in respect to the coming into existence, the growth, or the continuation of the molecular combinations presenteel in the boelies of living things. "Here," writes this great scientist, "scientific thought is compelled to accept the idea of Creative Power," and he indulges in this piece of reminiscence: "Forty years ago, I asked Liebig, walking, somewhere in the country, if he believed that the grass and the flowers which we saw around us grew by mere mechanical forces.

Nay, but how The Resignation of At the regular Hon. Henry Wa. meeting of the Ha- tcrhoiiHp waiian Board in November, a letter was received from Hon. Henry Waterhouse resigning his position as its president owing to his present inability to attend to the duties of the office. Although reluctant to sever these special relations with Mr. Waterhouse, the Board, in consideration of his condition of ill health, acceded to his request and accepted the resignation. A committee was then appointed to convey to him its appreciation of his services and regret at the necessity for his retirement from office. Mr. Waterhouse was elected to the presidency of the Board last February, and has consequently held the office less than a year. Before that he had been for a long time the Board's vice-president and one of those who had been longest in its service. He has always been in active sympathy with every good cause, and has aided in many ways in promoting the Christian activities of the Islands. He has been especially helpful to the Hawaiians. He speaks their language fluently, and from long familiarity with their ways and a clear understanding of their nature, is peculiarly fitted to appreciate their needs and to be their sympathetic adviser. He still retains his position as a member of the Board. We are told that he is enjoying a condition of comparative comfort in his home at the Peninsula. His friends will all rejoice that this is so, and he can rest assured that he has the sympathy and kindest regards of them all in his enforced retirement. Hon. P. C. Jones was appointed his successor in office. - .. .. . The election of j.

Such a sight speaks ve>ltiines in favor of missionary operations. At 11 o'clock Mr. Green preached hi English. Quite a number were present from the ships in port. In the evening I preached on board the "Enterprise," Captain Swan, from Nantucket. A considerable number of captains anel other officers were present from the ships in port. We are much gratifieel to find a ship of the' character of the' "Enterprise" in port. It seems a real revival of religion has been experienced on board of the "Enterprise" since' she has been in the Pacific. None was hopefully pious when she saileel but the captain. Nine others now give pretty good evidence of a saving change. Some of the officers appear very well indeed. While in port they had much Friendly intercourse with the missionaries.

To our regret the ship hanow sailed, but we trust the blessing of God will go with her. This evening we attended the monthly concert of prayer for missions feir the first time on heathen shore's. April 8.—The people universally seem te> be very much rejoiced on account of our arrival. A circumstance' occurred this cvenine which illustrates their good will towards us.

April 9. — The missionary packet sailed today for Hawaii tei invite the brethren e>n Hawaii and Maui to a general meeting. Mr. Culick has gone with the packet. This afternoon a service was held in the native language, ami this evening Mr. Green preached in English. We have not yet seen the young king, as he is absent em a visit te> another part eif his dominions. We hope he will return before the general meeting of the mission. April 14.— Yestcrelay being the Sabbath, Mr. Bingham preached in the morning te> a numerous and attentive' audience of natives. At 1 1 o'clock Mr. Andrews preached in English. A considerable number were present from the ship> in port, and a few foreign resi- dents. Mr. Bingham preached again in he the native language at 4 o'clock. Sabbath seemed to be as well observed by the natives generally as it is in nieist New England towns. By most eif the seamen in peirt. and by many of the ftircign residents, the' Sabbath is employed as a holiday. We rejoice, however, to find some who strictly observe the Sabbath, anel who are the firm friends eif the missionaries. We are now applying eiurselves with diligence tei the language, ami hope to be able in a little time tei converse with the people.

April J4.—Very little business pertaining to the general meeting has yet been transacted. Several of the brethren have been occupied in the examination of schools. A large number eif persons from different parts e>( this island have come forward under their several teachers anel been examined in reading, spelling, writing and arithmetic.

Early memories of brilliant eyes, rosy cheeks, a winning smile ami melodious voice are Uttdimmed by the flight of years. They have served, as time has unfolded the experiences eif life em every hand, to intensify the feelings of love for, and sympathy with, the beautiful woman who was so joyous in her renunciation of all that the world calls dear, and so buoyant in her self-sacrifice. As a city set upon a hill, so the life of this devoted lady, together with that of her husband, has been an open book that all the world has read. Doing ever with her might the duty of every day, there were periods when her residence in the mission field was interrupted. The claims of health and strength demanded change of scene and climate for herself anil Mr. Bingham. Thus it was the great privilege of their many friends in Honolulu tei be' associated with them here for consecutive months, anel even decaeles, eluring the forty-seven years of their missionary life together. As returning anel improved health permitted, they were ever laboring at this distance for the children of their adoption, to whose salvation they had so gladly consecrated their lives. Being not unmindful, however, of the o|)]K)rtunities that lay nearer at hand, Mrs. Bingham graced with her presence and ability positions of leadership, responsibility and honor as they appealed to her from time to time. Her special power was felt during the ten years she was president of the Woman's Board eif Missions for the Pacific Isles. Of this period Mrs. R. W. Andrews, in reviewing the history of the Board for thirty years, speaks of Mrs. Bingham as follows: "Mrs. Bingham accepted the position just as she accepted the call to Micronesia, saying not only 'Who is sufficient for these things ?' but also, 'He who has led, will lead all through the wilderness.' She impresses us with the feeling that mission work is a privilege, anel not a sacrifice. She seems ever looking out over a vast harvest field of souls to be gathered in, with an eager desire to have many harvesters thrust in the sickle. 'The constraining love of Christ' seems ever to be her incentive, anel the principle inculcated is, 'Let yourselves, your purses and your children be consecrated to the Lord.' Much as we admire the clear intellect, the intelligence, the tact and the loving greetings of this dear friend, her impelling force as a leader seems to be the fact that she is the medium through whom the Holy Spirit would gather us all together as THE FRIEND helpers in the joyous weirk of sitviug souls. With one hand in that of the' father she is being led; with the oilier hand she would include all in the work and blessing." A dear frienel, Mrs. Leatlingham, who was privileged tei be often with Mrs, Bingham eluring the last years of her life, semis the following tender tribute: "As the prisoner who was doomed to pass his days in a room, the walls of which were st> arranged as to gradually approach anel finally crush him, so was this heroic woman in the grasp of the began inexorable elisease which in to fasten itself upon her.

She who had been so ready to serve must neiw be serveel. How harel it was for her naturally independent spirit to be patient under this discipline we can only guess. As king as her strong will coulel control the failing muscles, she continued her work of preparing text-beieiks for the Gilbertese people. "In 1894 she reviseel ami carried through the press the fourth edition of her Arithmetic; also the seventh edition of her Reader, anel the third of her Pri- 1895-6 she wrote mary Geography.

Even as late as 1902 she rendered material aiel tei her husband in preiof-reaeling, as he carried for her through the press the fourth eelition eif her Primary Geography and the second eelition of her Higher Geography, reviseel anil enlarged by herself in 1894, preparatory for future publication, the preMifs being hclel before her practiced eyes by her nurse. To some extent tliel she in the same way reatl the proofs of the fifth edition of her Arithmetic as late as May of the present year. In addition te> all this work she aideel her husband between 1897 and 1901 in his Gilbertese Commentary em the Four Gospels, by examining all the Biblical references which he had made (anel they were very many) with reference to their correctness. "A kind friend gave her an invalid's table, on which a book could very conveniently rest, and so long as she was able to sit up, one might come upon her in the morning hour with her Bible open before her The Word was very precious to her. "One after another she had to give up the things she loved—her Sundayschool class of Gilbertese living in Hon- oltthl, which she' taught as long as she could walk from her carriage' to the church; the prayer-meeting and church service, and, last of all, the' dearly loved Woman's Board meeting. "After she became' unable' to hold a pen or to use a typewriter, she 1 carried on her large correspondence by means of an amanuensis, At last even this was denied her. for the disease, ever creep ing on, came' to affect the' veical chords so that she eeiulel with increasing difficulty make herself understood.

There one saw the light of her soul, anil when she smiled she was still herself. "An attack of dengue fever in May last prostrateel her upon her heel, ami her remaining months were months of extreme' weakness, anil, much of the time, intense suffering. 'Pray,' she would say, 'that I may have patience to wait till the Master calls ;' 'I suppose I need the discipline, but I shall be glael to go.' ( )ften she would say, I shall wear them all out, I am so much trouble.' She had a natural shrinking from death, but faith gave her the victory. Close now the prison walls were drawing about her. Speech, except for the merest indication of her wants, was daily becoming more infrequent and more difficult. Strength faileel even to listen. Hour after hour she lay with closed eye's and silent lips, yet fully conscious, as the occasional lifting of the liels would show. How many thoughts she must have longed to reveal to the lonely husband anil frienels waiting beside her! "Her tenderness and wealth eif affection only her nearest anel clearest knew, but her graciousness. her sympathy, her bright, sweet spirit, every one who met her must recognize. Her thoughtfulness in little things anel her rare unselfishness were markcel characteristics. Even in the days of her late invalidism the comfort eif her guests was her first thought. Seldom was the birthday eif a frienel unnoticed. "But humility most of all belonged to Mrs. Bingham. While accepting and faithfully performing any task or responsibility that was hud upon her, she carefully avoieleel anything that woulel bring herself into prominence. A rare combination of qualities was hers. She hael unflinching elevotion to principle, yet such tact anel winsomeness eif manner anel such evident sincerity, that none coulel take eiffense if her ieleas were at variance with theirs.

Public opinion means something vastly broader than the thoughts of a few befuddled brains around a bar. It goes far beyond the gossip of a self-centered community, It means the mental atmosphere of a nation. COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY Seldom does this community have the opportunity and the right to congratulate itself so heartily as on the occasion of the appointment by President Roosevelt to the Federal judgeship in Hawaii of Sanford B. Dole. For twelve years, through all the changes of government possible to a nation, his hand has guided this little land on its way. When, at the overthrow of the monarchy, Judge Dole took the reins of control, we knew not what was before us. The country and the government were in chaos; new conditions confronted us ; a new form of administration was to be creatcel; a novel situation was to be met, and new and unexpected complications to be overcome at every turn. Through the period of the Provisional Government it was his hand which led the people— his moderation which brought us in peace to the time when it became practicable to form a Republic. As this Republic's president he was a wise anel an energetic leader; his character and the character of the men he gathered about him was the strongest recommendation for annexation Hawaii had to offer our great homeland, anel the universal praise which the mainland has heapeel upon the head of Governor Dole has, more strongly than any worel coulel do, shown with what success he has filled the highest office in the Territory ever since we became part of the United States. It has long been known that not even the urgency of the President could persuade the Governor to accept a second term, and the community has lookeel forward to having our honored Governor once more in our midst as a fellowcitizen. But the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Estee seemed to offer a position so well suited to the ability and learning of Governor Dole, that we gladly surrendered him once meirc that he may again serve his country in the honored and important post he holds today. Of his ability there can be not the slightest question; of his capacity, mental honesty and discernment, and all the other qualities which go to make up a successful and upright judge, it were waste of breath here to speak, as they are universally acknowledged. We only pray that the kind Providence which guards Hawaii may grant him many years of life in this new anel honofed capacity. Perhaps scarcely less happy is the succession of George Carter to the position of Governor of the Territory, left vacant by the retirement of Gewernor Dole, A man of the strenuous school, of undoubted honesty, bringing to his e)ftice the confielcnce anel the good will of the business community, it is with every outwarel aelvantage that he has taken the chair. Whether a too strong elesire to acctimplish things—a lack, perhaps, of the moderation which has sei prominently mark-eel the aelministration eif Governor Dole; whether a too strong belief in the correctness of his own convictions, anel an unwillingness to accept the opinions of men perhaps better able to juelge of various matters than he—will mar the work which all believe he now intenels to accomplish, time alone will tell. Of the sincerity of his purpose, eif his intention to perform anil his ability so to tlo, we have no eloubt. But we have yet to learn whether he will, with that degree of calm necessary to a truly successful man, be able to bear the innumerable petty trials and the thousantl disappointments anel vexations of political life, anel through it all and in spite of it all, without swerving from his honest purpose, come out victorious. Of his willingness—nay, his elesire—to take, rather than shirk, responsibility, his first acts anel appointments as Governor speak with no uncertain voice; anel though we believe that in the main the appointments were good, we do not see that much strength is added thereto by the proclamation that the selections were without the advice or desire of any save the newly appointee! executive. party, though faring rather ill in this county, were able tei put a few of their less disreputable men into office, and on Maui ami Hawaii were everywhere successful. Like Tammany in New York, this element is here to stay. It is to be a constant task to keep the government decent—a task which must elicit the' support of all. Of the appalling state of eiur hist Legislature—of the theft, robbery, grail and wholesale larceny eif which they all, with but a few personal exceptions, were' guilty; of the dishonesty of its members of all ranks; of the manner in which the slightest services were paid for at twice, thrice anel four times their value, and money abstracted from the public till on no pretext at all —our Federal Granel Jury has given us a splendid —though for the community a sorry— account. Space will not permit us here even to summarize their findings. Suffice it to say that the annals of no municipal government of the mainland can show a page more elark than that writ by the men we sent to make our laws ami spenel the money they held in trust for the community. It is a great pity that the Federal Court cannot mete out justice to these, for we hail as well present them with their liberty as try them before such juries as the 'Territorial courts are proelucing at present.

Every white man is, on one technicality or another, to be excused, anel Jones to be trieel by a jury as incompetent to try the simplest case as a class from kindergarten.

Apart from all cant, now, which is which? We are on record for the belief that the' children get as much enjoyment out of the giving year as out of the other. 'This year they give; that is, an offering is made on the Sunday previous to Christmas for som.' object —not yet voted on. On the eve of the great day a cantata is to be given, "Aline Host, Santa Clans," in which many children take part. Another interesting departure is to have the celebration for the small "tots" take place on an afternoon previous to the' main occasion. Thus the little people will not have t Tight i sle'e'ii. Please notice particularly the announcement in our columns elsewhere' concerning the Users' Christmas. Miss Lawrence', of the Kindergarten Association, has "many inventions" when it comes to meeting the wants of the children. Here comes Xmas anel the Usual presents to the children on the part of the teachers; moreover, there are the materials for the presents from the pupils to their parents to be provided for. Usually this need has been met with by subscriptions from the charitable people. To avoid bringing any more' requests to the' already heavily-taxed public, Miss Lawrence- is getting up a clever performance, with the assistance of the teachers in the Training School, tailed the "Revolt of Santa Clans." 'This will be presented in Progress Hall em the 12th of this month. 'The scheme was taken from the "Ladies' Home Journal," but adaptations will undoubtedly be made of a local character. Kawaiahao Sunday School will celebrate Christmas in a somewhat eliffercnt way this year. In other words, as some one has put it, the effort is to put more of the CHRIST and less of the "mas" into this year's CHRIST-mas. Hence there will be a part for all branches of the school. Mrs. Wilceix's primary department will have their own peculiar exercises, as will the Kawaiahao Seminary. Then the church choir will sing, anel there will be responsive readings, fiifts?

President Fuller writes as follows: "Homes or retreats for missionaries or other Christian workers in need of and recuperation have repeatedl) demonstrated their usefulness ami economy in Christian work. Auliurmlale-, Clifton Springs, ( tberlin have long been doing their very beautiful work in this line. The first place on the Pacific cpasl to undertake an organized work of this kind is Saratoga, in Santa Clara county, California, most delightfully situated on the southern and western side of the Santa Clara valley and reaching up into the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. The place is one of surpassing beauty anel variety of scenery, with a climate equable, healthful and free to a remarkable degree from insect pests anel other annoying conditions. The soil is fertile, specially aelapteel to fruit-growing and gardening. The' roads are' good, and indeed all the physical conditions of life are as nearly perfect as it has ever been my lot to find. "Some of the large-hearted members of the Congregational church in this favored nook were moved to begin an organized effort to provide and offer special facilities for the above class of workers on furlough or for any cause needing rest. A company was organized under the laws of California authorized to raise' funds anel hold property for this purpose. A circular was issued by Rev. E. S. Williams, secretary of this society, inviting co-operation in this work and offering such assistance as the means of the society allowcel to missionary workers in neeel of rest. There are persons from whom a wortl of comfort and cheer is better than medicine. As Emily Brown, of Kobe, Japan, the first guest at this home, says, 'If I had only known, on the long sea voyage, what kindness I was coming to, I woultl have begun to mcnel when I started.' "If anywhere quiet ri'st, congenial associations, delightful climate, beautiful scenery and opportunity for varied and healthful rural occupation can give refreshment and healing, surely here al Saratoga more than at any place I have ever seen is the true sanitarium for overtaxed bodies anel nerves.

Indeed, re seemed to be a greater number fifts than usual given to those whom tine had not favored. There has never been such a chance to get excellent bibles at the prices now offered at the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms. Holiday gifts? Oh, yes; but bibles are eminently useful all the year around. What went to In the Kalaupapa from money first came place, from people to the the Hawaiian eleven amount of $62,—not Board Rooms very much to be sure, but ample for the needs. It must be understood that not all the people at the settlement were provided for, but only those connected with the churches. However, over 350 presents were sent and of a kind that will please, we feel sure. Of course, there were hags of candy, but in addition there was material to trim a fine tree with and it was hoped and expected that there would be suitable exercises of a real Christmas character. There were tops and marbles, done up in separate packages, beads for the girls and ribbons galore—all cut up though, so that one girl might not get the whole package and all the rest go ribbonless.

But as the astronomer so our faith shall not fail? with a larger and more powerful lens discovers stars and nebulae beyond his previous range of vision, so we, as we stand on the threshold of a new year, discern new questions looming up before us. What will the new year bring? What in the way of peace or war? Will 1904 be the fateful year in which the war clouds that have gathered at times in the past over the world's storm centers break and the nations be plunged into continental war? We hold our breath at the thought of the possibility and offer up a prayer that instead it may be the year in which the nations shall agree that war shall be no more and that international differences shall he settled at a more equitable and honorable tribunal. What will the new year bring in the religious world? Will the great revival that some people expect is to come appear within the next twelve months? The time seems ripe, if the church of Christ is ready to come out from the world, we may look for it. There seems to be much difference of opinion and some confusion of mind as to what its nature will be. Will it, when it comes, be a revival of "social righteousness," as some predict, or a revival in which individual responsibility shall first be pressed, and recognized? We shall do well to remember that individual righteousness must always be the basis of social righteousness, and hence the appeal in the coming revival must be to the individual to make himself right with God before he can accomplish anything for humanity. In the United States much may happen. A President will be elected. Inquiries into the nature of great combinations of capital and the relations of labor thereto, are likely to continue and bring the time a little nearer when there shall be a juster division of the products of human industry.

They heartily received and obeyed the Gospel preached to them. In eighteen years the Truth had penetrated their minds, the Holy Spirit descended in great power upon the churches already gathered, and the people poured in in hundreds and thousands of ardent converts. A new nation was born in a day. The great revolution was effectively accomplished. Set right toward (iod and His Law, the people eagerly and ardently sought together for all higher and better things, socially and politically. And another decade saw the Hawaiians standing on their feet as a Civilized Nation, because first Christianized. What is our lesson from this? Is it Hot ottr perpetual and enduring lesson for all effective reform and uplifting in all strata of society, that the first and essential thing to be done is to set the individual man straight with God and Eternity? Before all else, the spiritual nature of the man is to be awakened, the blind eye to be opened and the deaf ear to be unstopped, the evil and Wayward heart to be turned to the choice of good in the fear of 'iod, and the faith of his salvation. The fallen, the sunken, the bemired, the maimed and debauched souls will not, cannot, be brought up into cleanness and light until the Heavenly light of Christ finds Let me most sincerely thank you for the prompt dispatch of the Ai Remington Typewriter and Mimeograph and supplies of papers; all of which arrived in good condition, June 2nd.

In September, Mr. Delaporte speaks of the landing of the German Governor, Mr. Brandeis, and family, whose headquarters is at Jalnit, Marshall Islands, and of the welcome and torchlight parade given him on his arrival. A Mr. Geppart also arrived, who takes the place of Mr. Kaiser, the local magistrate, who is granted a year's furlough. Our friends much enjoyed the social intercourse which the visit of the Governor and his cultivated family afforded them. Speaking of their work for the people, Mr. D. says: The Lord is with us. and our work is prosContributions in July were the highest we have ever received. Of course, our work cannot be judged by the amount of contributions, as they vary, depending entirely upon the size of the cocoanut harvest. Very little rain has fallen since June, and most of the white men have very little drinking water left. Thanks to Mrs. Castle's gift of a water tank we are not short yet. For safety we should have another two or 3.000 gallon tank. Perhaps the way will open to get one.

Mr. Delaporte worked on it many nights up to 2 o'clock in the morning, in order to get two books ready. He hopes to publish both Kpistlcs to the Corinthians as soon as he can get supplies from Sydney. The people arc so happy to get these books. I am glad that I can still write a good report Under date of September 30th Mr. Delaporte continues: THE WEEK OF PRAYER The following is the list of topics for the coming week of prayer, as suggested by the Evangelical Alliance: Sunday, January 3, 1904.—Sermons The Kingdom of (iod:—and the condition of its Triumphant Advance.

Last Sabbath we had another Baptismal service and the Lord was with us indeed. We were permitted to baptize and admit to fellowship 38 adults, and in addition to these we baptized 20 small children of members. We have thus a membership of 190, exclusive of children, of which we have thus far baptized more than too. Quite a little flock now.

Your remarkable illustrated number, with its pictorial and graphic representations of the various stages of the progress of the islands, was read by many of us with the greatest interest, and one of our latest comers, an accomplished lady doctor who visited your port on her way thither last year, told the story through an interpreter to our Pang Chuang school-girls, as I have occasionally tried to do to the boys and others. I recollect that Mr. Charles Nordhoff, in his interesting book on your group, justly praised the people for their open-handed hospitality, for their benevolence, their enterprise and many other virtues, remarking that "they have not frittered away their minds by reading contradictory telegrams." I have wondered within the past few months whether the American-Hawaiian mind has sensibly deteriorated. Put there is something in the feeling that one's life anastomoses even in a small and humble way with that of all creation. Why. even in our humble hamlet, which was never heard of before a mission station was set up there, we have a mail route with visits of imperial couriers nine times a month, and a threat—now become a fact —of having a "postal agency." Then the temptation to indulge in the demoralizing and insidious daily paper grows practically irresistible, and the first thing we know we are "in the swim," although not able to keep up with the current. Besides all this there are little stakes and flags, and the like phenomena, not far to the cast of us, denoting the prospective presence of the Tientsin-Chinkiang railway to he built by the Germans, who seem to have a mortgage on Shantung, and the British, who claim the Yang-tzu Valley. The nearest station—a water tank station probably—will be only seven miles distant, and the nearest city station only twelve or thirteen miles. Already we have the scream of little steam launches and tugs on the shallow waters of the Grand Canal. One of the arsenals formerly situated at Tientsin, captured by the Japanese at the siege of Tientsin City, has been removed into Shantung so as to be safer from the next invasion, and is on the outskirts of the city just mentioned. The time has expired within which the Chinese were forbidden to import arms, and already the foundation hold civil service examinations. Much difference of opinion was developed over this article, but with characteristic shrewdness the Chinese easily nullified its intention by appointing the place for the examination of students from such cities—Peking, for example—in some other province, an arrangement with which foreigners do not care to interfere. There is a formidable array of unknown potentialities raging in Kttang Si in the remote south, but otherwise the Empire is reasonably quiet. For many months Russia and Japan have been posturing on the north, and no one can say at what moment notice may be served on the rest of the powers that the to former has definitely "ear-marked" all the rest of China down to the disputed Yang-tzu river itself. With the various sections marked out for different nations, there seems to be small account taken of the Chinese themselves, but whatever arrangements foreign powers may come to, the Chinese will not fail to be heard from. Mission work seems to be resuming its old lines with increased plant, but with no new men—in our mission, at least—and thus far with diminished means. Shall we not pray to the Lord of the harvest to send both 'aborcrs and the means to equip them into great, needy, rudderless, drifting China? Arthur H. Smith. TEMPIRANC SSUES EDITED BY REV W. D. WESTERVELT The power of the Territory of Hawaii to issue licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors is about to be passed over to the Hoard of Supervisors of each county of the Territory.

Nor will there be any recourse to the Territory, for its credit has not been pledged, it has incurred no moral or financial responsibility. We must, however, have a government, and that government must be stable and strong; we cannot stop the pumps of our water works, we cannot dismiss our courts nor withdraw the protection of our police force. It is with these difficult problems that the governor, and many of Hawaii's best men, have been wrestling for months. Mr. Hatch, one of our most influential, capable and trustworthy members of the bar, has been dispatched by private parties and with the co-operation of the governor, to seek relief at Washington.

He, Dab-, the youngest, has caught up with his brothers, and is the most progressive. Also gets all of the bumps and *** troubles. Will manage to get into more dirt and mischief than the other two combined. In the picture he is the one at the right. They come in order of age—Donald, first at the left; Dean, the smaller one, in the middle, then Dale. Their eyes are all alike, a very dark, bright blue—so dark they seem almost black at times. They are all very bright little fellows. Have never been rocked or held more than was necessary in caring for them. They drop off to sleep one by one. Generally they sing themselves to sleep. They are a funny sight, and Louise writes that she has had more time for reading this summer than for some time." In Mrs. Loomis' last letter, Nov. 21, 1903, she writes: "My Annual Report of the H. M. C. S. came a few days ago. There was a mistake about the children. They were born in Fttlda, Minnesota, down in the southwest corner of the state; but Mr. and Mrs. Chrisliason moved to Matoon, 111., in the early spring. Mr. Christiason is much away from home. lie and my son, Arthur, have a large bridge building contract for a new railroad south from St. Louis. Louise writes very amusing letters of the pranks of the four children." *** *** Sixty-First Year ANNOUNCEMENT (The Friend is one of the very few papers in the U. S. that can make mch.)

In keeping with its character and the progress of the Islands, it is fuller and more complete than ever, and is indispensible to anyone who wants to have at hand, in a convenient form, a summary of the most important statistics and facts pertaining to them. The first part of the book is as formerly, devoted to statistics. Here are found figures concerning interisland distances, the heights of mountains, rainfall, population, school statistics, commerce, sugar plantations and many other matters, given in a clear and condensed form and easy of consultation. The body of the volume deals with subjects of special value to those who are interested in Hawaiian life and affairs. There are Islands. . articles on the completion of the Pacific cable; The Internal Commerce of Hawaii; Diversified Industries The Streets of J lonolulu in the Karly Forties, by Hon. Gorham I).

Westervelt; The Rock Carvings of Hawaii, by A.!•'. ludd; A Retrospect for [903, with a number of shorter articles of a more popular nature,—all of which are interesting and valuable.

GOLDIE'S INHERITANCE This is a book which will be oi UV terest to many readers of The Friend on account of their acquaintance with the author, as well as tor the story itself. The writer is Mrs. Louisa M. \\ liitney, who. with her husband, Rev. Joel l\ Whitney, was a missionary for a number of years in the Marshall I-hrnds, and who will be remembered especially by many of our older Honolulu people. The book is a story of the siege of Atlanta. Of it the author says in the preface, "Into this story are woven many sacred memories. If the thread of the story is tieton, it yet consists mainly of facts, nearly all the import ant incidents being taken from real life." It is thoroughly interesting especially in the lasl half, as showing the feelings and experience-, of northern people who lived in the south during that period of intense sectional feeling. As would he natural under the circumstances, these experiences 'nave their lights and shadows, sufferings and triumphs, but on the whole a happy end- The book is a painstaking compilation of facts and information of the greatest value, and reflects credit >.n its author. It amply sustains its former reputation, and is the best publi- ing. cation in existence to put into the The book will be sent postpaid on hands of anyone who wishes to know receipt of the price, one dollar, by Rev. the present status of the Hawaiian J.

Babb, Worker in Charge On the evening of the 28th of Nov. a sale of fancy articles was held in the Settlement building. The small number present was not encouraging after the great expenditure of time for making the numerous articles and arranging the attractive booths, where handkerchiefs, collars, lauhala work, pyrography, children's dresses, pictures, etc., were displayed. A part of the articles on sale were made by the girls of the sewing classes, and they had hoped to reali/.e some benefit personally for their labor. However, including the profits of additional sales, about $75 has been cleared. A musical programme was rendered by those who kindly gave their services, and the iced drinks were donated by Mr. Wadsworth of the Maui Soda Works. A handsome piece of pyrography and a beautiful oil painting, gifts of the artists, Mrs. Decoto and Miss Homer, are now put on sale in Honolulu, with the hope that some whose eyes they may attract by their intrinsic value will gladly give the needed aid to Alexander House by their purchase. Information concerning them may be obtained from Mrs. Brown of the Y. W. C. A. A number of people, chiefly friends of Miss Malone and through her instrumentality, have recently sent us gifts—fancy articles, ribbons, pictures and checks. Sewing materials from Mr. Dußoi and Mr. Sachs are gratefully acknowledged. Miss Gay and myself are constantly mindful of the great help the Settlement has received in the past, and is still receiving, from several private sources, both in the Islands and in the States, and feel that a repetition of our appreciation is not out of place. I, personally, feel as deep a debt of gratitude to my predecessor, Miss Huntington, whose work was so that her name is daily mentioned by the children and strong and loving parents. An interesting mothers' meeting was held not long ago in the Kindergarten. Classes and good times have been enjoyed as usual in the club rooms. An effort is in embryo to start a Good Citizenship Club, to be conducted by com pctent men of the locality. Christmas time, with its good cheer, has already come, the celebrations being held at the close of the term. (>n Friday evening, Dec. IH, an audience larger than could be accommodated in the seating space, listened eagerly to the songs and exercises of the dear little mites of the Kindergarten. The concert was followed by a Christmas tree in the reading room. A beautiful coffee tree, with red berries still intact, had been presented by Mr. Cornwell, and was decorated with tinsel, candles and gifts. Miss Day and her assistants had made very pretty scrap-books for the girls, and the hearts of the boys were delighted with jingling reins. Each member of the Kindergarten received an orange from Santa Clans' pack—(the gift of a real, live Santa Clans in Lahaina) —and a bag of candy and popcorn from the tree. The little fingers had been busy these many days sewing the bright colored candy hags and making raphia baskets and picture frames and card-board baskets for their proud parents. The tree was used the following evening for the presents for the girls of the sewing classes and the men and boys of the evening school. Rulers, tablets, pencils, notebooks and pictures were presented,—each member receiving one gift besides a bag of candy. If the doners of candy, Messrs. Wichman, Kirkland, Hoke and Silva, could have seen the enjoyment with which all our children munched their sweets, they would have felt well repaid. There were one hundred and seventeen present Saturday evening, most of them being members of one or more classes. It was with great pleasure that they received three games, sent as a Christmas gift for Alexander House from a little student of mine back in the Old Hay State, and heard me read the announcement of a year's subscription to the "Woman's Journal," from that same boy's mother, the "Youth's Companion" from Mr. and Mrs. Case, and the "American Roy" and some games from the Sunday-school class of a cousin in Boston. Marching and songs completed the good time. After the holidays work will be resumed, Jan. 4, 1904. CHINESE NOTES By Rev. E. W. Thwing Hawaii The Chinese of Kohala are busy painting their church, and arc doing it well, both inside and out, at a cost of $2fio. They have raised $100 among themselves, the Board has given !?i<x>, and other friends have made up the. balance. They hope to have the workcompleted by Christmas. . At all the mission stations the workers arc busy making ready for a happy Christmas. Mrs. Walsh of llilo writes that her school children are to enjoy a regular snow storm, the "snow macine" has arrived, and the children will have a good treat. Maui At Wailttku the work is encouraging at present. At our last communion service the church was full. Four united on confession of faith. The Japanese also joined with us ill a union meeting at the Chinese church, and later invited the Chinese to meet with them at their church. A Christmas box has just been sent for the Chinese children of Kula, who arc looking forward to a good time on Christmas. At liana, Maui, the superintendent, during a recent trip, had meetings with Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiians. On Maui also, as well as on Hawaii and Oahu, the Korean laborers are needing our attention. Fort St. Church, Honolulu The services are held regularly and are well attended. A number are expecting to join on confession of faith the first of the new year. A letter was received not long ago from Mr. Nelson of Canton, telling of the work of the Sunday-school missionary, Mr. Leung San Wing, who is preaching in China. He says: "The Sunday-school is showing much interest in raising this money for the work in the Hcung Shan district. Others of the church members are helping the work in this part of China. Now is the time for a forward movement in China. The people arc ready and looking for a change. It is our part to help on the change in the right way. Dr. Hager, who has been working near the field where our Sundayschool missionary is preaching, also reports a wonderful turning of the people to Western learning and gospel teaching.

There was a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese at the Chinese church, W'ailuku, -Nov. 29th. The services were conducted by Rev. E. \\ Thwing, Rev. C. Tanaka, and Mr. Teng Ah Ling, the evangelist. Five were admitted to church fellowship by profession and received baptism. There was an attendance of seventy people. Quite a number of Chinese women were present. The Communion service was observed and there was manifest a true spirit of Christian fellowship. Miss Turner recently visited in the Chinese homes at I'aia and Makawao. She received a cordial welcome and many children were made happy by the distribution of picture leaflets. Home visitation among the various nationalities in our midst forms a most interesting and very important part of the work. Evening classes of Chinese and Japanese for the study of English, still continue to be well attended and a growing interest is manifest. Christmas exercises were held at the Chinese church on the evening of Dec. 17th. A large number of the parents and friends of the Chinese Mission School were present. The entertainment consisted of singing and recitations appropriate to the season. The tree was gaily decorated, and very attractive. All" the children were rilled with Christmas cheer, and enthusiasm. Through the kindness of Mr. C. B. Wells in rendering financial aid, and Mr. Aheong by a contribution of candy and delicious oranges, and other substantial aid from Mrs. W. Y. Homer and family of Lahaina, it has been possible to pass a very delightful Christmas festival. The Chinese Mission expresses sincere gratitude for all, with wishes for a Happy New Year to all.

Atherton. He never liked notoriety. He would not have liked to have much said concerning his gift, and in this wish, no doubt, his wife and family share. There still remains, however, to say that his original intention was to endow the Hoard to the amount of $50,000. The financial pressure being so great last year, he decided to give $12,000 to wipe out the overdraft at the bank. This left $38,000, the securities for which have recently been handed to the Treasurer, to constitute the J. B. Athcrton Fund. The income from this fund may be used for the current expenses of the Board. "His works do follow him." "The Board is rich." Not at —for answer, Impression look at all, Treasurer's the statement. "But how about the recent Atherton gift ?" This endowment merely perpetuate! Mr. Atherton's quarterly payments, which the Treasurer has drawn since Mr. Atherton's death up to the present time. The bequest was extremely welcome, but nothing new in the way of income. The"de mortuis nil nisi bonum" rule applies only to persons. We might speak "other than good" of the dead county act, but we don't want to. This much, however, concerning the administration we have just escaped in the Oahu County,—we feel at liberty to say concerning the personnel of the supervisors. We are glad that the present head of the government is not also the manager of an important branch of the liquor industry. Of course the Republican party knew what it was doing when it permitted the candidacy of Mr. Hocking. Still, it professed to feel (through tlie mouth of its chief organ) considerably aggrieved that this gentleman so far forgot the "rules of the game" as to seek and obtain the chairmanship of the Hoard of Supervisors. Did the party consider for a moment that the head of a business so inimical to the public welfare, could forget that he was in a [)osition to maintain the well being of the liquor business ? At the best that may be said of the liquor business, we only tolerate it. Put in power,—put it at the head of our County! (S) Hocking! A Narrow Escape modern appliances. At any rate, the reported naive admission of a veteran hotel man is astonishing. From the knowledge we have of Mr. Alexander Young, we foci sure that he will be glad to feel that at least the Annex of his hotel is a safe place for children. Home Work The Japanese war cloud having shifted, it is well nigh certain that it will veer around again. Howlongisitanyway, recent discussion concerning "home work" conducted in the Advertiser, more stress seems to have been laid on the amount, rather than the character of the work required. Mr. Thompson of Kamehameha most ably presented the need of consideration as to the character of the course in our primary and elementary school work. One of our oldest and ablest educators, he has proved in many instances the advantage of the training which may be characterized by the word "observing" over that somewhat covered by the word "cramming." When will we learn that Power is what we want in our chidrcn, —increased ability to think, read, acquire, do for themselves. The chief quarrel with our schools has been (alas! is today) that the grade requirement forces most teachers—we believe unwillingly, in many cases —to cover up the children with so much dead (Continued on A Mistaken War and Labor In the HOTEL BARS AND THE YOUNG fi-H-!- !- H- page 4.) l-H"l"l"l' H"M you know that those The following clipping from the Adyour home which are in games vertiser of late date moves us with some- X T no longer used might help to keep thing like astonishment: "Manager H.

We are not aware of the occasion for the utterance, but we append the following, from the Missionary Herald of December, 1903. that the courteous and graceful intent of the Bishop should be recognized here in the Islands: "Among the many excellent addresses, (at noon meetings in Boston in the interest of Foreign Missions) one from the Rt. Rev. H. B. Restarick, D. D., Bishop of the Episcopal Church of Honolulu, attracted special attention. Bishop Restarick, since coming to this country, had heard disparaging utterances respecting the missionaries and the children of the missionaries in Honolulu, so that he felt called upon on this occasion to hear testimony to the work done in the Islands by the American Board. He spoke in eloquent terms of the consecration, ability and devotion of the sons and daughters of the missionaries who are now at the islands, many of whom are giving not only time and strength, but of their means F.lementary Elementary Pedagogy, Psychology or Child Nature Study—all of prepared books are text for which treated in tory, this very purpose and well within the grasp of the average person.

Messrs. stitute of the city, has been making some Richards and Wood (Prof. Wood of the Normal School) have already, and without much knowledge of the investigations above mentioned, determined upon and planned for a Normal Course. Their idea was to take as a nucleus Mr. Richards' class, some of the young women in Kawaiahao Seminary and some of the pupils of the Normal School now living at the Kaiulani Home; then build up slowly from the outside. The plan involved a course, including some musical drill; the Bible as a text book; method work following lines already established in the day school Normal work. Of course, Prof. Wood is pre-eminently the man for this leadership. He will be able to bridge over the alarmingly large gap between the day-school and the Sunday-school. The making of maps, the introduction of drawing and practice teaching,—all combined, cannot fail to attract serious-minded young people, who will now feci that something worthy of their efforts is in reach. To make the advantages of such a course as wide as possible, there will be a meeting called to get the opinions of as many superintendents and Sundayschool workers as possible. In fact, a meeting is already provided for (at the present writing) and the consensus of opinion as to where, when and what is awaited with interest. FOR FIFTY YEARS MISSIONARIES Two of the noblest men who ever lived on the shores of the Pacific have now completed fifty years of missionary service. Rev. James Kekela and Rev. S. Kauwealoha, missionaries to the Marquesas Islands in early life, after finishing with credit to themselves the course at the Lahainaluna College and receiving instruction in a theological class taught by Rev. Sheldon Dibble, and later in the school founded by Rev. W. P. Alexander for the training of a Hawaiian ministry, were settled as the first native Hawaiian pastors, the former at Kahuku, Oahu, and the latter at Kaanapali, Maui. These men had for five or six years been pastors and preachers, when in 1853 Matunui, a Marqttcsian chief named landed at Lahaina, asking that a teacher of Christianity be sent to his islands, that his countrymen might receive the blessings which so evidently hail come to Hawaii with the light of Christianity. The missionary fathers and leading Christians in the Hawaiian churches, in heeding this Macedonian call, selected these two stalwart men as suitable ones to face the dangers and discomforts of life in the then cannibal group of the Marquesas. With their most worthy wives, these two men, in 1853, cheerfully entered �5 THE FRIEND upon a work, which to human view presented most discouraging aspects. Undaunted by the well known sanguinary and cannibal proclivities of the people, and trusting their lives to the keeping of six, Mr. Kauwealoha being one of them. In the year 1845, Mr. Dibble died, and the instruction of this class devolved upon Rev. W. P. Alexander; and in 1847 three were graduated, Mr. Kauwealoha at once Israel's Shepherd, they went forward to taking up the work of a preacher at Kaa career of service and of final triumph. anapali.

Sheldon Dibble took this class of There is a chief Governor at Taeohae, : Xi Nuuhiwa, with white police, and at Atuona, Hibaoa, is Beregatia and white policemen, preserving order among residents and among strangers. They advise the prosecution of manual labor, and they punish transgressors. The French officers repress evil-doers; there is no war and but little violence, and the manufacturers of rum are punished, for they are the source of the murders committed. The boys and girls are taken to the family schools and to the day schools. The Government roads are kept in good repair; but the number of the natives is diminishing, and there are no Chinamen, Japanese, Portuguese, or Gilbert Islanders to do the work. There are but few Frenchmen or Americans, or foreigners of any kind; and there is no work to enrich or contribute to the comfort of the people. The resources of this people are their breadfruit and cocoanut trees, and the fish of the sea. The blight rests upon man and upon the trees, destroying the leaves and rendering them unproductive; even the guavas, the cocoanuts, the vi, the bananas, the mango, the melon and the squashes, upon the honey combs and upon mankind. (This sentence is poetical and figurative, relating to the curse of sin which rests upon all creation as well as upon man.) As regards the work of God in Nuuhiwa, we know that He is the Lord and Father over all the world. The Lord Jesus has given us the word, teaching us to pray, "Thy kingdom come." Many have been the Christian workers who have come to these islands for the establishment of His kingdom, and the most of them have been laid to rest. You and I are waiting still for the coming of His kingdom; we have waited these fifty years now past. Have we seen the fruit of our labors? Has the kingdom of our Lord been established in these islands? Do you remember loba lohetia of Oomoo, Fatuhiva, the first fruit of the ingathering into the church ? You have not forgotten Abraham Natua and his wife, the deacon of the church, and Eva Hipahipa, the true believer in Jesus? You remember Daniel Tohutete and his children, and Vaianea, who was sought by his brother to aid in getting me settled at Hanatetuua? So also here at Uapou there were many who heard gladly the word of the Kingdom, until the coming of the smallpox, which took some of our hopeful followers. Two of the wives are laid in the ground of this land, as was Abraham's wife, Sarah, laid in the parcel of ground that they bought from the residents in that land. Our friend, Rev. Z. Hapuku, gathered in members for the kingdom of God, and then laid himself to rest in Atuona. So, too, the wife of Rev.

The Tahitian missionary, Tamatahi, and his wife are stationed at Puaniau, Hivaoa, to the satisfaction of the children and the brethren there.

LIVELY LIHUE For that is all you can call the place, if you are in the Japanese swim. Christianity- is a living force there and no mistake. At its head stand a David and Jonathan pair of friends, Messrs. Fukuda and Uchida. They were comrades back inDoshishadays at Dr. Necsima's splendid University. There they came to know and love one another as only college boys can. Rev. Mr. Fukuda, the up]K-r classman, came to Lihue a year ago and fought to the finish his battle of homesickness all alone. What a tough job that is, only those may guess who know and love Japan and are able to picture the contrast between its rich life and the colorless death of plantation existence in Hawaii. But it was all a part of this brave knight's loyalty to his Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Fukuda saw at a glance that Christianity's opportunity in this land with his countrymen lies first of all with the children, so in his gentle quiet way —for he is a typical gentleman of that rare style of courtesy for which Japan is famous —he began to plan a school. Lihue has a large quota of Christian Americans who know a good thing when they see it, and also how to make it tell. So they rallied to the support of the evangelist and in due season a tasteful, clean school-bouse rose modestly in the very center of town opposite the mill. Again the call for the exercise of the knightly quality of bravery came to Mr. I'ukiida. There was no Hoard money in sight for a teacher to man the school. "We can if we will, 1 thought the Japanese- samurai, as he sent a letter to his comrade oversea in Kyoto. He explained that funds were scarce but work was plenty, Ile had a few dollars to help his passage, and he would share his own meager salary to round out the tiny tuition fees into a semblance of a living wage. Would his friend come and risk it for the love of Christ? He did not reckon without his host, for Mr. I'chida was sprung from a family whose members for generations had learned how to do and dare for their feudal lords. He is a second generation Christian, too, and that counts tremendously. In her struggle to educate him and his five sisters his mother, long a widow, had taught him how to endure hardship for Christ Jesus. The invitation, therefore, to come to Hawaii was a challenge to his Christian manhood, and he accepted it. The two are at work as only such a team can work. No wonder the school is overflowing and the little Japanese boys and girls flcvk about these young fellows, who are teaching them the meaning of Cod's love. They are a practical pair and know that in order to keep their countrymen from drink anel gambling of nights, they must furnish them healthful recreation. Hence, they are starting a game room, in addition to their English night school for adults. ' Hut whence are the games, crokonole and ping pong, and other indoor means of relaxation to come? To carry two men on the salary of one plus school fees is puzzle enough. Perhaps the boys and girls of Honolulu, by sending to the Board Rooms checkers, chess, lotto, pit, ping pong sets and the like, will help answer this question. When Christmas came these two workers were taken by surprise. Mother Rice, Mrs. Isenberg, Mrs. \\. 11. Kicc, and others helped with gifts of candy, cake, apples, playthings enough to cover all seemingly possible needs. So when the show opened all went merry as a marriage bell until the program had advanced a number or two. Then the little church began to be crowded. Still they came, taking all the standing room by storm, swarming about the doors and windows and tilling a goodly share of the lot outside. Alas! how feed such a swarm? Mrs. W. 11. Rice rose grandly to the emergency. In the home near by were slill two boxes of apples, a couple of boxes of cake, nine cases of sola water, sixty yards of cloth, which Mrs. Isenberg had sent for a possible emergency in some one of the many Christmas celebrations, a lot of plaything cups and saucers, and lasl of all ice water for a cool drink, if the generous supply should run out. In the rear room of the church busy workers now gathered, the cloth was torn into pieces large enough for baby kimonos for the tiny riders mounted on the mothers' backs, cake and candy and apples soon were appropriately wrapped, and when the program ended all was ready. First the children were supplied, then the church was emptied and the mothers filed in with their pickabacks, only to give place in turn to the unmarried men. All received some remembrance and voted the occasion the greatest success the Lihue JapD. S. anese world had ever known. A PLEASANT RECEPTION Mr. F. W. Damon, during his stay on the coast, is doing an excellent work among the Chinese students of California, especially among those who were formerly his students in this institution. There are many Mills' boys in California and Mr. Damon has not been slow to look them up and make them feel that he is still interested in their welfare. On December 22nd, Mr. Damon and Mrs. Mills, of Mills College, received a large number of Chinese young men at an informal luncheon at the college, and among the number were many former students of this school.—Student, Dec, '03- �7 THE FRIEND STRANGE DELAY IN THE DISCOVERY OF HAWAII By S. E. Bishop. The writer proposes to specify and describe a series of peculiar events, all of which contributed and combined to produce the singular success which attended the introduction of Christianity into the Hawaiian Islands. Many of these circumstances were such as were unlikely to occur. Altogether they were so numerous, and so tended to the accomplishment of one result, that they may well be rcgareled by Christian believers as constituting a chain of very marked Special Providences, which were Divinely in tended to se-cure firmly this important strategic position as a possession of enlightened Christianity for the furtherance of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus in this Pacific Hemisphere. It is believed to be profitable and important that we should distinctly recognize this peculiar course- of Divine Providence-, and we may begin by noting the peculiar Providential Delay in the Discovery of Hawaii. Hawaii was first made known to the world through its discovery by the famous explorer, Captain James Cook, who on his voyage from Bolabola to Alaska, visited Kauai in January. 1778, and on his re-turn, first saw the Island of Hawaii in December of the same year. From that time forward, the group was frequently visited, and speedily became of commercial importance. Before 1820, a considerable trade had become established with China, Mexico, and the north west coast of America. There was also a large whaling fleet visiting these- ports. lii fact, no port () f equal commercial importance existed in the central or north-eastern Pacific. In view Of so rapid a commercial development after discovery, it must be considered strange that the existence of so central and important a group remained unknown until so late a date as 1788. All the other groups inhabited by the Polynesian race had long been known to the world. For over 250 years the Spanish galleons had be>en crossing the North Pacific annually both ways between Mexico and the Philippines, Hawaii lying in a direct line between the two countries. Alexander is doubtless correct in his statement (History, p. 100). "These islands did not lie in the track of the Spanish galleons, for on leaving Acapulco they steered southwesterly so as to pass far to the south of them, and on their return voyage they sailed northward till they reached thirty degrees of latitude, and then ran before the westerly being early wrecked by Spanish tyranny winds till they approached the coast of and the Spanish Inquisition?

I TEMPERANCE ISSUES EDITED BY REV W. D. WESTERVELT There is in Honolulu a Japanese bamboo drinking cup which teaches an excellent temperance- lesson. It was made as a "sake" cup, and was used in drinking the Japanese wine called "sake." It is inscribed or carved with three mottoes: "The man drinks the sake;" "The sake drinks the sake ; The sake drinks the man." The three steps, indicating the development of appetite, are very clearly defined, (i) The man drinks, feeling that he has full control over the wine cup. (2) He drinks because the created appetite makes more wine enjoyable. (3) The appetite takes control of the man and his property, and drinks up mind, money and home. It is a strange fact that those handling intoxicating drinks understand thoroughly the serious results, and yet play with Ihe evil. In Denver, Colorado, one saloon carried the sign of the snake, and offered its patrons whiskey as "rattlesnake poison." Another saloon at one time placed in its windows an exceedingly touching picture of a drunkard's child. In Leadville, Colorado, one of the saloons was known as "The Little Church." Another had a large family Hible, helel open by a dagger, and so placed on a shelf back of the bar, that all customers could easily see red marked verses warning against the use of wine.

To the surprise of all, the decision was unanimous. The County Act being voiel, the ole Territorial Government immediately be came active; but we found ourselves in the position of a country with a going government, but no appropriations t meet the expenses thereof. The Governo wisely decided to fall back upon the provisions of the Organic Act, which, Section 54, provides for just such an emergency as the present, declaring that i �case the Legislature fail to provide an appropriation measure, the treasurer might make such payments as were necessary, and "the sums appropriated in the last appropriation bills shall be deemed to have been reappropriated." It seems from the statement of the Auditor that we shall have no trouble in meeting the running expenses of the government in this way, and it is most earnestly hoped that the Governor will not deem it best to call together again our expensive and not over-conscientious Legislature. On all sides we hear expressions of entire satisfaction that the County Act has been killed. The Governor and the one-time officers seem to be the only mourners. That the latter should be such is to be expected, but that the Governor should so have become infatuated with the County idea seems hard to understand. We elo not believe that any deep analysis of the needs of the country or any weighty reasoning has given him this passion for the new form of administration, and we trust that a sober second thought will convince him that the present form of government is nearly enough controlled by the voters, and that there is no need further to inflict the community with elective offices designed only to be filled with men utterly unfit to govern. As to the effort on foot to obtain county legislation through Congress, one of two things will surely happen : —either Congress will refuse tobe bothered longer by her new possessions running cons.antly to her with their troubles, or we shall have an act as iron clad and as inflexible as the Organic Act itself. We may well congratulate ourselves if it does not likewise prove absolutely unfit and unsuited to our conditions. It is impossible to conceive that Congress will pass an act (even if it has the power to do so, which is doubtful) whicV. will be so constructed as to allow the Territorial Legislature to ani*-:-' 1 or entirely nullify its action. Tlie retrenchment in expenses commenced by the former Supervisors of Oahu County, we trust, will be continued by the present officers. It appears to be the easiest thing in the world for a government to become overloaded with clerks and assistants. There is a peculiar attraction which seems to draw into the government employ all the incompetents of the community, and a "government job" has rightfully come to be a synonym for a position whose most exhaustive occupation is the drawing of a salary. Certainly a casual glance into the Executive Building would lead one to such a belief. This being true, it is a good thing to have an occasional house cleaning. Retrenchment has always to be carried out with considerable care and 9 THE FRIEND thought, but if so conducted, we believe it is, that tourist companies and individthat the result will be as surprising as it uals find themselves balked at the very start by a well nigh prohibitive steamwill be gratifying to the taxpayers. ship fare.

Great Palls, a suburb of Btttte, where Miss G. and her brother reside part of the time, is a beautiful inland city, and she has many acquaintances there. She mentioned that Rev. J. A. Cruzan had lately been settled over a church in Great Palls. She also gave an account of a visit of Indians, thus: "I had quite a treat the other day at Great balls. A wandering band of Indians, pari of them C'ree and part Chippewa, camped about six miles out of the city, and advertised a great war dance." One exhibition she thus describes: "The wonderful feather, horn and weasel-tail ornaments they wore, were remarkable. Their dance was a foolish kind of a slow shuffle around the group of musicians. The oldest chief, as he- came around to the west, would bow very low to the sun, but there was no other indication that it was a Sun dance. This old man had two sons with him who had been in the Indian School at Carlisle, Pa., and they did not look happy. We had noticed a little group of boys of different ages off by themselves at the cam]), and a young girl ' f Bkkgstrom Music Co. �near one tent, who did not look like the They had all been 'stuelents' somewhere.

AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE Of course we are speaking of the "Brigade"' when we speak of Boys' work,—also it will be noted, that the Boys' Field is that once called the Hoys' Brigade. It suits our fancy not to bring tlie Brigade idea so much to the front at present; you don't mind, do you? The main thing is to get hold of the boy. Tlie field is doing just that, too. The man will do more. But concerning the field: The track is under way, grass covers the entire inside of the oval, outside, too, for that matter. There is almost too much grass, enough to sell, in fact. The big opening Field Day has been announced for the 18th of March, and a most efficient committee has the matter in charge. Mr. Allan Dunn, the chairman, is an old hand at this sort of thing, and with him are Mr. Livingstone of Kamehameha, Mr. Babbitt, Mr. Anderson of Punahou, Mr. Young of the Y. M. C. A., and Lieutenant Newton of Camp McKinley. While public interest will center largely around this first championship event, some will find the boys' meet (which will immediately follow) the most interesting. It will be cruder, no doubt, but will be just as fiercely contested. First, there will be events for the Juniors, boys from 9 to 13 years of age. The Seniors will be boys from 12 to 18, and will come from the same localities. They are picking up their local "yell" and have club colors. Messrs. Wells, Logan and Rider will get something out of this besides mere athletics, though that alone is considerable and worthy of the effort. Now as to the man. Mr. le-nry Martin is the man. lie is acquainted with boys, —had a large club of them in St. Louis, wlu-re- he was Hoys' Secretary tor a long time. Here- is his picture. \Ve wish him success here.

Dr. Clark has grown with his work. // was once housed comfortably m a Maine parsonage; lie was once a country minister. Now both it and he are grown up. They are world-wide. ( hie thing that was noticeable in his address was the complete annihilation of Self. It might be comparatively easy to refrain from saying much concerning'the "I," and yet have it "stick out" all over. What was evident in Dr. Clark's talk— which there was no pretense to oratorical display—was the dee]) impression he left that Jesus Christ was the author and instigator of the Christian Endeavor in movement. May God prosper his trip around the world is the anient wish of Island Chrisstatus with them. He is expected soon, tian Endeavorcrs. so he may take hold of the Field events.

The opportunity for effective work among the Oriental people in Hawaii is great. The needs of the work are many. The Territory of Hawaii, as the outpost of the United States in the Pacific, is the point where contact with the people of China, Japan, and Korea, can be made of the greatest advantage. It is here, in these Pacific islands, that the men from these Eastern nations first meet with the Christianity, enlightenment, and progress of American life and civilization. It is here that Christian schools and colleges and universities, might well be established for the education and training of these men who come to us looking for a better life, and higher possibilities than can be at present secureel in their own land. As Western nations have received the priceless heritage of Christian enlightenment from the East, it is now a duty to pass it on to these Eastern lands again. In the providence of God, large numbers of these people have come to our shores. Shall we neglect them or look with indifference at these present opportunities? Surely, no! What is the present condition as to these people ? THE CHINESE IN HAWAII MR. HENRY MARTIN. There are at present between twenty and thirty thousand Chinese in the Islands. Over 4,000 are native born. Since 1000 over 6,000 men have returned �13 THE FRIEND is hoped, some of the brightness of these Islands to their home land. There arc now 1,500 young Chinese students in our schools, and many of them arc among the brightest scholars we have. The Chinese paid in one year (1901) taxes to the amount of $1 15,546.00, so that they are helping to pay for the expense of the government schools. The Chinese are now more and more looking for and realizing the value of a Western education. The Emperor of China has well said of his people: "We do not lack cither men of intellect or brilliant talents, callable of learning and doing anything they please, but their movements have hitherto been hampered to China, taking, it by old prejudices." The younger students of China are realizing these hampering prejudices and are feeling the need of larger opportunities than they can secure at present in China. Hawaii is the place where these young men might come to Study, and be prepared for the work of building up a new China. They are looking to us for C. J. DAY & CO.

Hawaii is a good meeting ground. Shall we not bid these students of China to come to us, and shall we not be ready to give to them freely, that Christian education which has made us great, and which will be just as truly the up-building of China? JAPANESE WORK. work is, being well carried on by This those who have it in charge, both under the Hawaiian Board and the Methodist church.

Work on the proposed new building for boys has not yet begun, for lack of funds. This worthy object has the backing of many of our Island people, but the present financial depression has hindered the work from progressing. Subscriptions come in occasionally, however, anel it is much to be hoped that this much-needed improvement may soon be carried out. A new element has lately come into the school, when several Koreans were admitted. These arc all Christian men and are progressing rapidly. The effect upon the Hawaiian boys in the school of admitting other nationalities has been decidedly stimulating. Meeting anel competing with the very elements then- will come in contact with after their school days are over is having a very beneficial effect in awakening greater effort, with the result of better work along all of the many lines fe>llowed out in the school.

The preiposcd franchise, however, which is now before Congress, violates many principles proven by experience to he essential to the protection of the public interest. As we unelerstanel the measure, it turns over the streets of Honolulu to the company, permitting the erection of poles ami stringing of wires for thirty-five years. It fixes the rate of 20 cents per kilowatt hour for the same periotl. No restriction is placed upon its capitalization or power of boneling itself. In short, it grants rights to this company wdiich can not In- modified or regulateel eluring the entire period of thirty-five years of its pro]K>seel existence. The practicalh unanimous condemnation the franchise received on the floor of the National House of Representatives, proves that we have not been in this matter as alert in the protection of our interests as a due regarel for the welfare of the pce>ple requires. It is no doubt a fact that the high character of those intcresteel in the company has in a measure disarmed criticism. At the same time, such considerations have no place in the elrafting of iron-clael charters for corporations whose personnel may raelically change in a few years. We have hael a tramway and a telephone company to ileal with. Experience, therefore, plainly points out the necessity of reserving the right to the government to regulate, in an equitable manner, both the nature of the service rentlereel and the rates exacteel therefor. T R. Sympathy with Japan "Why shoulel Christian America sympathize with heathen Japan rather than Christian Russia?" This is the pregnant question put to the people of our country by a leaeling citizen of the Czar's empire. It is very pertinent to us who live in Hawaii side by side with between sixty and seventy thousanel Japanese. Two lines of reply may be urgeel. The first one ignores the aeljectives anil drops the invidious distinctions "Christian and heathen." That widespread sympathy with Japan does exist among Americans needs no proof. Its explanation is found basically in the chivalric sitling with the smaller combatant. No knightly soul, heholding the apparently uneqal contest between a nation of 45 millions and one of 120 millions, can fail to cheer for the Back of this plucky featherweight. lies the financial consideration. Rus- sian triumph means the practical closing of Asia to American, not to say world, commerce. China and Japan are just enuring upon their career of larger demands and the life of civilization with its incessant and ever-increasing needs is beginning to course in their veins. The supremacy of the Czar will freeze this life flood into stagnancy. What Russian ideals produce may he seen throughout that country of boundless resources, where millions are half starving and other myriads living more like beasts than men. Japan's victory means the open door in Asia, progress everywhere along the western shores of the Pacific, and a commerce on this ocean of the future undreamed of yet in the world's Nobler still is the sympathy history. born of liberty, the inevitable war of mutual extermination which subsists between the absolutist and the democrat. This was clearly stated years ago to the then United States Minister, Hon. A. D. White, by the whilom dictator of Russia, Pobiedonosteff, and subsequently ported by Mr. White in a magazine article. The Russian Minister of State outlined the two irreconcilable theories of government held by Russia on the one hand and Great Britain and the United States on the other. He foresaw the coming battle between them, and believed that Russia must prevail because human welfare could be guaranteed only by the triumph of "the rule of the wise." By a singular turn of the wheel of fortune, Japan and neither of the Anglo-Saxon Powers has become the protagonist of the forces of progress. If Russia wins, there must some time in the future be one more vast war for liberty. If victory rests with her antagonist, then constitutional government will cross the Japan and Yellow seas to the Asian continent, and the Empire of the Czar itself, unable to withstand the moral shock of defeat, may disintegrate through revolution into a federation of free states. The real peril of the world today is not "Yellow" in color; it is the white with the blue crossed bars of the Czar's war banner. Instinctively every American feels that Japan is fighting his battle, and not merely her own. Nay, it is the battle of every son of man, Russian as well as Chinese, Finn and Pole as well as Japanese and Anglo Saxon. Why heathen? Now put back the adjectives. What constitutes a "Christian," what a "heathen ?" The answer of this age, coming quick and true, "character, not profession," holds equally well of the nation anel the individual. Contrast Russia's sanels of inoffensive, unarmed Chinese peasants on the Amur river some three years ago, with Japan's wide-open hospitals, where wounded Chinese soleliers lay side by side with wounded Japanese, cared for with equal tenderness by the Empire's ablest physicians and most experienced trained nurses. Which was following Christ most nearly? Place side by side the persistent extermination in Russia of all Christian sects that dare to differ with the Greek church, and the faithful execution in Japan of the constitutional provision guaranteeing freedom of religious belief. Which is the heathen here ? Compare the unspeakable horrors of condemnation to penal servituele through administrative process under the Czar's government, with the legal guarantees of fair trial which safeguanl the citizen chargeel with violation of law where the Mikado rules. Which deserves the adjective Christian? Japan may not count her members of Christian churches by the million, but her ideals of government and ofcitizenship are immeasureably nearer the standarels of the Cross than those of Russia. We may not call her Christian, as we dare not ideally apply this name to any nation, but measured by her opportunities who shall call this splendid world-power any the less Christian, or any the more heathen, than such long-favored nations as Great Britain and the United States ? Because we have more right to couple this noble adjective, Christian, with Japan than with Russia, the Christian heart of America sympathizes with her in her brave, unselfish struggle, in which we also firmly believe she will come off victorious. honor the Day Loyal American citizens, brought up under the influence of the Stars anel Stripes, must confess to a feeling of pained surprise at the sight of the many open places of business in Honolulu on Washington's birthday. This holiday is becoming more anel more sacredly associated in the minds of the people of the United States with the conception of ideal citizenship, and it seems little less than desecration to throw open business houses and compel employees to work on the 22nd of February, except in cases of public necessity. This is especially true in a Territory like Hawaii, where the task of • preparing young Hawaiians, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Porto Ricans and possibly Koreans, for taking their places as voters in the Union of the future is upon us. Every national holiday should be celebrated here with no less devotion than characterizes the observance of such religious occasions as Sunday and Christmas. Patriotism is a �5 THE FRIEND vital part of true religion, and to venerate our national heroes on the two significant occasions—Washington's Birthday or the Ideal Citizens' Day and Memorial or All Patriots' Day—set apart therefor by the laws of all but a few of our States, is so sacred a duty that mere to see either violateel through sordid considerations brings the blush to the cheek and shame to the heart of the real lover of his country. Up to date Phenti Thk fine service Congress is rendering this Territory in the matter of the electric light franchise makes every user of the telephone on Oahu wish that our National law makers might break up the monopoly held by the local telephone company. If the shady side of the story of the defeat of the attempt to secure from our last Legislature the franchise for an up-to-date, efficient telephone system could only be made known in Congress, the hanels of patriotic opposers of the sacrifice of public monopolies to private profit would be correspondingly strengthened. There is no excuse for the wretcheel service which for months has wearied the patience of the people of this Island. If the local company will not make equitable terms with the automatic company—anel rumor has it that they can if they will—a way should be founel to let their rivals enter the Territory. Would that such a way might be secured through Congress. Stop the Tights Is it not time for the elecent people of Honolulu to call a halt in the prize fight nuisance?

Meantime, one- year ago the THE BOARD'S PRESENT POLICY American Boarel withdrew finally, and' the entire conduct of the many-sided work devolved upon the Christians of this to most After months devoted a many careful consideration of all features of its work, the Hawaiian Board has entered upon a twofold policy of coortlination and affiliation, the one Territorial in its scope, the other national. The original work of the American Board in these Islands regarded the Hawaiians alone. Its missionaries founded churches anel consolidated them into four island associations, (i) Hawaii, (2) Maui comprising also Molokai and Lanai (3) Oahu, and (4) Kauai including Niihau. These four combined in the Evangelical Association. The system was complete and has workeel admirably. As the white population grew, it hecame necessary to proviele means of worship for those unacquainted with the native tongue, and thus there slowly came into being the so-called Foreign churches. Composed of English-speaking people in sympathy with the Christian work carried on by the American Mission, the members of these churches were zealous supporters of every effort made to Christianize the native inhabitants. But owing to the barrier of language on the one hand and to their location at points widely separated on the other, these churches of English-speaking people connected themselves organically neither with the native associations nor with one another. Drawing their membership from all denominations, naturally they organized on the union or congregational plan, but ecclesiastically each was absolutely independent, and stooel unrelated to any denomination of Christians. Churches of this character grew up on Hawaii at Hilo, Kohala, and Kona (now temporarily quiescent), on Maui at Paia, and Wailuku (services intermitted for a season), on Oahu at Honolulu, anel on Kauai at Lihue and Waimea. Some of these have to this day not even been organized as churches. Meantime, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese began to immigrate hither, and Christian work was promptly pushed among the newcomers. Much of it was conducted through the Hawaiian Board, with the generous co-operation of the American Board. The resulting churches were in some instances brought into a quasi-connection with the Evangelical Association, but the bond was so frail as Territory. Now as long as the Islands maintained their independence anil money was plentiful enough to create no demand for the economies and the esprit dc corps of consolielation, the anomaly of the conelition outlined was not forced into prominence. But with the- entrance of 1 lawaii into the L'nion, anil shortly thereafter with the diminished support incident to the decease of several generous contributors and to the general financial depression, the weak spots made themselves known. Other denominations, hacked by great national organizations, having previously entered the field, began to offer by their compactness, a strong contrast to our disjointed negation of system, while their ability to tiele over a season of local business depression by calling upon their fellow Christians on the mainland mocked our financial loneliness. The sound maxim for all time, "In union is strength." which has become the basal social truth in this century of combination, has been brought home with startling power to the Hoard and its frienels. We realize that unless these elisassociated churches, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and English-speaking, get together anel pool their issues, they are doomed. God has no use anywhere in His universe for the weakness of disunion. The Board, therefore, has called its constituency everywhere upon throughout these Lslanels to close ranks and march together. It is very gratifying to be able to state that the response has been unanimous and enthusiastic beyond expectation. The coordination requested by the Board demands as its initial step, that all our churches connect themselves respectively with the Islanel Associations and begin to pull together, regardless of race. In this way common interests will be rece>gnized, and acknowledged, common burdens will be borne by all, progress will be made towards a more genera) use of the English language, and, without the sacrifice of an atom of essential independence, the gradual development of a vital organism will be effected. Next month The Friend will tell how the experiment begins to work in Hawaii, where the churches of all nationalities are �6 to meet on a common ground at the spring session of the local Island Association. Already a kindling spirit anel its child, increased financial support, have marked the beginning of getting together. Affiliation means extending this process across the ocean and getting into touch with our fellow Christians of the United States. The financial stress here has made this absolutely necessary. Already the Boarel has been compelled to sacrifice two of its most honored missionaries, and during the past two years has cut its budget clown by over $15,000, a reduction of more than .33 1-3 per cent. Notwithstaneling these heroic measures it is today something more than $9,000 in debt, and the deficiency has increaseel the past ten months by a little over $2,100 a month. Although our treasurer believes that expecteel receipts later on will modify these fatal figures, there can be but one enel to this process, anel the disaster of serious disruption of our work is close upon us. Foreseeing this, the Board last fall entered into communication with the Home Missionary Society and the American Missionary Association, with a view both to its affiliation with these organizations and to their co-operation in its various enterprises. No elefinite reply has yet been received. It is hoped that the Home Missionary Soviety will assist in the conduct of work done through the medium of the English language, and that the American Missionary Association will unite with us in the maintenance of the Chinese and Japanese departments. It is not merely the financial help that is desired. The Boarel and the churches which support it or are maintained byit feel the need of larger sympathy. We must be a part of some world-wide organization, share the prayers and own the sympathy of our fellow Christians all over the United States and in other nations as well. Through the American Board this was formerly ours. With close affiliation to the great societies of the mainland, we shall have it again in still larger abundance. In addition to seeking connection with the two societies named above, the Board has asked the American Board to take over the mission on Pleasant Island manned by Rev. and Mrs. Delaporte, an:! has carrieel out the resolution of the Evangelical Association by voting to transact its foreign missionary workthrough this society. It has also requested the Education Society to co-operate in training men for the ministry by asking aid for one very promising young man. Conscious of the sacred responsibility •ntrusted to it by the Christians pf Artier- THE FRIEND, ica in inaugurating and maintaining for more than 80 years one of the most successful missionary enterprises known to history, the Boarel means to be true to the trust. In the present emergency it has been calleel upon to face the fact that Hawaii is an integral part of the American Union, that its problems are no longer local, that the whole nation is vitally interested in maintaining Christian civilization out here in the mid-Pacific, and that this cannot be done without the cooperation of a Christian organization coextensive with the Uniteel States. We have now done our part. Will our fellow Christians of the mainland do theirs? We have no hesitancy in believing that D S. they will. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII By S. E. Bishop. 2. The Consolidation by Kamehameha. of Government Our last number pointed out the great advantage to the Gospel conquest of Hawaii in the singular delay in the discovery of this group. Next in order, we must be impressed by the immense advantage secured by the complete suppression of the disorders of war, anel the thorough establishment of orderly government in Hawaii, by the great conqueror, Kamehameha. Long prior to the Discovery, in 1778. and for twenty years after, the disturbances and ravages of internecine wars in Hawaii constituted a destructive condition, which, if continued, would have been most untoward for the propagation of the Gospel among them. Moral, mental, anel social culture require public order and peace, as much as garden anel grain crops require fencing and shelter. The inroads of murderous hordes of warriors must be as fatal to all such culture and progress as the trampling of a herH of buffaloes would be to prairie farming or of swine to a vegetable garden. The wonderfully rapid growth of Christian faith and education, which in twentyyears transformed the Hawaiian nation would have proved impossible under the warlike conditions which prevailed before Kamehameha's conquest. An illustration of such impediments is lotable in the long-delaveel progress, forty years later, in Christianizing the Gilbert Islands, where the people were frequently at war, and cruel invasions irose between the islands. Little thorough or efficient progress was accom- plished until the strong hand of Great Britain enforced order an# law. Just so it was the powerful grasp of Kamehameha which reduced the whole Hawaiian people into quiet anel orderly subjection. In view of the propitious order anil peace which for twenty years before the arrival of Christianity in Hawaii, had under Kamehameha succeeded ages of warfare, we seem justly to recognize in him a remarkable instrument of God's Providence raiseel up to "prepare the way of the Lord, anel make His paths straight." It seems as truly so as when Cyrus was raised up to deliver Israel from Babylon, or Caesar to reduce the worlel into peace for the coming of the Christ. Not long after the discovery of Hawaii, in 1788, Kalaniopuu elieel. After much warfare Kamehameha became the most powerful of the chiefs of the great island. But violent and elestructivc wars ensueel from 1782 to 1791, before he became master of the whole of that island on the eleath of Keoua, the king of Kau. Although that event was accomplished by treachery, it secureel the first consolielation of government on the island. Three more years, however, followed of violent warfare with Kahekili, the king of Maui, after whose death, in 1794, Kamehameha ravaged and subdued Maui and Molokai, with the aid of guns and powder handled by the skill of his white lieutenants, John Young and Isaac Davis. Meanwdiile, the benevolent explorer, Vancouver, had vainly sought to mediate between the warring chieftains and negotiate lasting peace. Kamehameha was firmly determined on complete conquest of the group. In 1795, Kamehameha seizeel a most favorable opportunity anel invaded Oahu. The battle of Nuuanu Valley completed the conquest of the group, the king of Kauai tendering submission. This final conquest of Oahu owed much to a favorable juncture, due to the brutish folly of the king, Kalanikupule, which disarmed his forces at the critical time. But still more was due to the martial vigor and skill of Kamehameha, wdio used to the best advantage the guns anel poweler of the foreigners, and pursued a determined line of policy with a steadfast purpose. And Kamehameha was not only a victorious warrior; he was also a wise and efficient statesman. He die! not merely heat clown and destroy the enemies of his supremacy in the group: he also established and consolidateel a high degree of quiet and wholesome order. While despotic, he proved in the main a wise �7 THE FRIEND he suppressed violence, murder and brigandage. He encouraged labor, and improvements of roads, watercourses and fishponds. The people lived in peace, and enjoyed much of the fruit of their labors. Trade flourished. Foreigners were protected and resideel in Hawaii in security. It was a marked indication of this king's superior nature that he accepted the aelvice, and even reproofs, of such whiteassistants as Young, Davis and Parker, and that they were content to spend their lives in his service. Thus a completely strong and healthycondition of public affairs had been maluring for twenty years before death ended this remarkable reign. When the Gospel came, it found the Hawaiian nation living in peaceful order and quiet, without thought of revolt. They were thus prepared to give hospitable reception to the new and beneficent Light. A wonderful preparation hael been accotn"plished for the planting of Christianity. In Kamehameha an extraordinary instrument hael been provielcd for this work. He stanels as one of a marvellous chain of special provisions for a speedyconquest of Hawaii by the Gospel. A VISIT TO KOREA By Rev. E. W. Thwing. While the attention of all civilized nations is at present turned towarel Japan, it may be of interest to learn a little more of Korea, as the control of this territory, or at least the controlling influence there, is what Japan desires. It is only ten or twelve hours from Japan to Korea; many of her people have large interests there, anel it is of vital importance that her influence shall come first in the affairs of this "Land of the Morning Calm." On returning to China from a short stay in Japan, the opportunity was found for making a visit to Korea, and seeing some of the curious and very interesting places in this land of white clothes and strange hats. We left the port of Nagasaki, Japan, at about 6p. m. The next morning at 6 o'clock, the island of Tsu-shima being reached, we made a short stop there. Early in the afternoon the southern coast of Korea came well in view, and the first landing was made at Fu-san. This is the chief place on the southern coast of Korea. It is only about fifty miles distant from Japan's nearest land, the island of Tsu-shima. There is a large settlement of Japanese there. History tells us that as early as 33 B. C. the Koreans crossed over into Japan, and at that time there was quite a profitable trade between the two countries. Leaving theJapanese quarter of Fu-san, the real Korean town is entered. What first impressed me as strange and curious was the Korean hats and the big wooden shoes. All sorts of high hats with broad brims could be seen. One very useful hat might be called the umbrella hat. It can be folded and put in the pocket, and when needed opened up like a small umbrella, and placed on the top of the heael. The houses throughout this Korean town are generally rather small and dirty. Most of the people are very poor. The money in use is the copper "cash," some 1600 being needeel to make up the value of an American dollar. Often in the stores long strings of these cash would be piled up three or four feet high. Anyone going shopping might well reejuire a servant to carry his pocket-book. The Korean gentlemen are a fine looking lot. They are, as a rule, rather tall and present a very picturesepie appearance in their beautiful Oriental gowns and fine hats. A gentleman always has a lot of servants, one to carry his hat, another his fan, anil even another for his pipe. He often wears a pair of largespectacles, which, he thinks, gives him a very learnetl appearance. He is very polite and dignified, and thinks a great deal of the proper ceremonies to be useel on elifferent occasions. At this time of the year (the middle of May), the air was cool and bracing, with plenty of sunshine-. The climate of Korea is very fine for a large partof the time. A niissie>narv living there says "For nine months of every year, Korea has the finest and healthiest weather to be found in any land ; from the mieldle of September to the middle of lime, sunshine nearly every clay. and rain enough only to bring on the spring crops few high winds, little dust; cool, bracing falls; sharp, dry winters, anil fresh, mild springs. The three summer months, however, are unhealthy, and trying to all foreigners." It was a great pleasure to stop with Dr. Chas. H. Trvin, the missionary in charge of the Presbyterian mission station at Fu-san. Just as I came in he was engaged in an operation on a Korean boy. This medical work done by Christian doctors, has done much to open up the country. The love anel kindness hospital missionary shown in the comes to the hearts of these people with great power. Dr. Irvin, in a report of his work, says:"l know no better roael to warm your way into the inner nature of another, than to show interest and sympathy in the hour of trial and affliction ; and the medical missionary who fails to take advantage of this God-given opportunity, fails to employ one of the greatest powers in his work." Dr. Irvin : has done a wonderful work here in Fusan. In eight years he has treated nearly 50.000 patients, besides over 9,000 children, anel he has performed ewer 2,000 surgical operations, among which none have been fatal. There is a church here now, e>f between 30 and 40 members, anel the native Christians are being taught the important lesson that each one is to feel it his own duty to he a missionary to those around him. It is in this way that the work is spreading all over Korea. Many of the Koreans who come to Honolulu are already Christians. A missionary in Korea states that "There are now about thirty thousand Protestant Christians in that country: anel in northern Korea, where, eight years ago, there- were but half a elozeii little groups of Christians, there are- now two hundred and thirtyfive meeting places. These are steadily increasing, for last year 1.232 new converts were- baptized in that section eif the country alone." After leaving Fu-san, Chemulpo was the next place- visited. This port is on the southwestern coast. The steamer had to anchor a long way from shore, as all along this coast there arc miles of mud, much of which is left bare- at lowtide. A visit at the Methodist mission station he-re-, and lunch with Mr. Jones, the missionary in charge, were much enjoyed. We went to see the- native church anil the homes of some- of the Christians. Very often you can se-e- at once- the influence of Christianity in their home life. They always show much appreciation of the missionary's visits, anil seem to make a good, sturdy class of Christians. Many of them are bright, and .very quick to learn. From Chemulpo it is but a short. trip to Seoul, the capital. An American company has built a railroad covering the thirty-five miles from Chemulpo Also it is the Americans who have built and now operate the electric street railway in the capital. Not only the missionaries, hut many of the business men from the United States are finding much to interest them in this once "Hermit Kingdom." While there I hearel much talk about the very valuable golel mines which are being elevelopcel also by Americans. Seoul is a city of perhaps 300,000 inhabitants, and may be a very beautiful one from a Korean point of view, but does not, however, seem to be a very handsome city to a Westerner. After nightfall the gates are shut and most of the people stay at home. In the daytime, however, it is a very interesting sight that is seen as one approaches the great south gate of Seoul. A two-storied �8 THE FRIEND. covers the tunnel-like entrance through the wall here. All day long a busy crowd arc pushing their way back and forth. Curious carts and sedan chairs, men, with strange burdens strapped on their backs; oxen, with their heavy loads; men on foot, dressed in long white gowns and black hats, all make up the steady stream which may be seen any day at the gate of Korea's capital. Now that Japan's armies are marching through Korea, a glance at some of her early relations with this empire may be of interest. History shows us that Japan has ever hail her eyes toward this "Land of the Morning Calm." Japan's first expedition into Korea was in A. D. 203. The Japanese take great pride in this, their first exploit in a foreign land. At that time Korea sent back to Japan 80 ships of gold and silver and other precious things, together with men of noble families as hostages. They then took oath to be tributary to Japan. Again in 1583, Hideyoshi, a great Japanese general, invaded Korea with a large army. As late as 1872, during the stirring times following the rapid changes introduccel into Japan, the war project to conquer Korea was very popular. However, circumstances prevented an outbreak at that time, and later, in 1876, by a treaty of peace and friendship, Japan opened up Korea to the world. The United States was the first Western power to conclude a treaty with Korea. A clause of this treaty, made with the United States on May Ist, 1882, reads as follows: "If other powers deal unjustly or oppressively with either Government, the other will exert their gooel offices, on being informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings." America has ever been ready to lend her aid for the welfare of this nation. American missionaries are doing the largest part of the work of teaching her people. And to America, as well as to Japan, must the people of Korea look for that helping hanel which may place her among the most enlightened nations of the world. This brief stay in Korea was so full of interest and enjoyment as to lead to the hope that at some future time a longer visit may he made. tower letters and to present facts already stated close this appeal by extracts from it: by herself in a very earnest appeal made Her date was Jan. 17th, 1904: at the February meeting of the W.

Miss Turner gives the following notes of the Chinese work on Maui: There are some very encouraging features connecteel with the Chinese Mission work in Wailuku. ()ne is the interest the class of young men show in the study of English, as they meet two evenings of the week at Alexander House. There is also a markeel interest shown in attendance at Sabbath school, and church services. There seems to be a elesire on the part of some to know the Christian truth. On Thursday evening, Feb. 4th, there was a very pleasant gathering of Chinese young men at the home of the Workers connecteel with the Alexander House. Various games were furnished for entertainment, and all entered into the spirit of them. Tea and cakes were served for refreshments. It was an evening of social cheer, anel will long be pleasantly remembered by all. 11 IN RE AN OLD FRIEND Distance from markets and the nature of the soil make this a practical cerlslanel friends who are from New Eng- tainty.

About the only ground for difference of opinion would seem to be as to the source from which this part of our population should be derived! Should it be sought entirely from the- mainland, or should we attempt to furnish it from the young people growing up on the ground? The true answer probably is that it should be derived from both these sources. The present tendency, however, seems to be to emphasize the importance of the former to the neglect of the latter, This is doubtless because this is the easier and apparently the more promising method, and anyone who is acquainted with the difficulties that woulel attend the raising up of an intelligent farming class from the youth of enir various races will not be too hasty in condemning it. Still, a true foresight will keep all the elements of the problem in view. We must remember that many at least of these people are here to stay, and so far as they dei not learn to carry on some form of honest industry they are likely to swell the pauper and criminal classes. A man with a fixed place of abode which he can call his own, is more likely to become a useful citizen and respect the rights of others, than one who has no such attachment. It is always desirable, therefore, that as many ns possible of the people of a country have such places of abode. Then, te>o, small farming in most places in these Islands will never furnish more than an economical living to the farmer. . of any rienrrlption promptly attended to at Catalogue Katen Reference (by porimssi.>i,) Mi>, H.

To those who have capital to make a beginning with such crops, there seems good provided the prospect of work is carried on with diligence and intelligence. Such farming will, however, be for the few and not for the many. The majority must be content with other and less profitable crops, which can be raised more quickly and with less outlay of money. For this class e>f farming, we believe it would be a mistake for the American farmer to come. He can do better at home. He has there broader opportunities, and if he fails in one place it is not so elifficult tei get away to another as it would be here. Let educators and government officials stuely the question more deeply of raising up small farmers from our own peeiple. J. LFADINGHAM. It would tax both the columns of "The Friend" and the patience of its friends to detail all the signs of promise in the Board's work on Maui and Hawaii. In the elesert land of plantation Japandom —desert because of the dearth of all that we Americans mean by the word "home" one beautiful oasis is found at Honomu. This is Rev. Mr. Sokabc's Japanese Boareling School. Mr. Sokabe is a genius in his management of children and in his power to attract the love of young and old. His countrymen who are led to Christ by him bear a stamp all their own. Wherever they are they work for their Master, and go where they will, they never cease to love the old school and church. Give them a holiday, and back they run to Honomu to spend it. There is no other such place in all Hawaii. And the children? How much it means to them! Mr. and Mrs. Se)kabe have no little ones of their own, but they dearly love and fondly care for their charges. Not s year passes without some of these children at the critical age for religious life becoming followers of school Jesus. They grow so fond of their vacation in a few at home days that after they begin to cry for Honomu. Strange, too, for Sokabc's gospel is one of work. Every week day at 4:30 or 5 p. m. the scholars, under the lead of the schoolfather—to call him principal would be a sad misnomer—troop out to the cane fields, and there all hands put in a good hour stripping cane. The plantation pays them the full value of the labor, and with their tiny wages the little tots learn the first lessons of thrift. Rev. Mr. Hill and his companion, the Board's commissioner, will not soon forget the lovely October afternoon when to the beat of drums a company of neatly uniThe Oasis at Honomu — At that meeting the olel constitution, somewhat altcreel, was accepteel, and the President authorized to appoint committees which should be in running oreler on the arrival of Mr. Martin, who is expected by the first steamer in March. Meanwhile the fielel has been flooded, but has not suffered much damage. The main difficulty is that the finishing of the track has had to wait a thorough drying.

It is certainly one of the most unique anel beneficent institutions in thisTerritory. But unfortunately, genius though he is in school management (erne whom even Frocbel woulel delight to honor), in business affairs Mr. Sokabc is a child. So the school struggles on in debt, but ever happy amid its discouragements. Some day grace may be given him to endure a business manager. But debts or no debts, errors in minor matters, too, included, this sclumil deserves to live, and should have generous frienels who can appieciate a man of such rare type and are glael to foot enough of his bills to D.

AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE : �sical point of view, the interests of each organization will be developed very much by this dignified kind of competition, and chorus work will lx built up here in the city. The- second venture is still a competition, but on different lines. The public schools of the city, it is hoped, will compete in some large way, eluring the afternoon of the festival. Some large grounds will be chosen (probably the Boys' Field), anil the thought is to build a sounding board, and have similar grades of the public schools sing against each other; and then all, perhaps, unite in some common chorus. The details of these plans have not fully elcvelopcd, but more will be beard soon. Among those who can be saiel to l>e very much interested in the project are Mrs. Yarndley, Mrs. Tucker, who is in charge of the music of the public schools, and si-veral teachers of private eirganizations here in the city. Mr. A. T. Atkinson, Superintendent of Public Instruction, has lent his T. R. aiel anil support. 1 I C. J. DAY & CO. rmc groceries OLD Kona Coffee a Specialty REMEMBER that th» Hawaiian News Go., Ltd.

()n the third of February a parly was given to the larger boys anil girls eif the Settlement. In spite of rain about twenty of the thirty-six invited came to enjoy two hours of good fun, at the close- of which light refreshments were served. The following evening the young Chinamen of the town were entertained at the Workers' house. Games were arranged at a number of small tables, and heartily entered into by the young men. Cake anil Chinese tea, followed by Speeches, completed the evening, which was considered a success. Not a small part of the pleasure the occasion affonled was the visits to the houses anel shops for inviting the guests. Chinese New Years has offercel a suitable time for more calls on men, women and children. Twenty-four calls were made one day, and everywhere was found a warm welcome anil a hot dish of tea anel Chinese sweetmeats. Some of these naturally shy people were willing to have their photographs taken. If the films develop well the only regret will be that the bright colors of the holielay dresses could not be reproduced. A number of calls have been maele e>n 1 lawaiians anel Portuguese during the 13 Till-. FRIEND freshments at the Workers' home. Is not an evening of play for grown men a hit of practical education, as well as a wholesome recreation? Such an evening in an attractive Christian home, among people who have a live interest in the welfare of "the under dog," is a pleasure anel benefit to all concerned. For this reason it is that the social life at Alexander House is maele so important. !•:. A. 11.

It is in keeping with the modern principle of intensity. It is further a corollary of the meeting held recently in Hilo. If the white Christians of the Territory have eyes to see and wills to act, that occasion will serve as the beginning of a new era in the progress of the Kingdom in Hawaii nei. We have heard much from white people anent the race prejudice cherished by Hawaiians, though singularly enough never a word from latter. The meeting in Hilo showed not a hint of such a sentiment. It would be strange if some day the whites should wake up to find the reality a case of the yellow of the jaundiced eye. "Treat the Hawaiian as brother and ten to one he will do the same by you," was the message of the Hilo Association. Somehow the history of these Islands seems at times to tell the same story. Note for example how the entirely frank and open action of our Governor is hailed by the dominant race here. Governor Carter meets the legislators squarely and they pledge to do honestly in extra session. He treats with them honorably on this basis —the only possible course in the present desperate emergency. Instead of condemning him why not spend every energy in the endeavor to call out the nobler emotions of our legislators ? Expect them to do their duty, to come to the relief of our teachers, now unable to cash their hard-earned salaries, to respond to the dictate of patriotism. Whatever may be the plain teaching of wisdom in the realm of politics, in religious effort there can be but one course. We who call ourselves Christians must treat one another as brothers. It is decidedly encouraging to know that our Hawaian fellow-disciples will go more than half way in the endeavor to actualize the brotherhood all of us profess. ALoss. We regret to chronicle the approach- ing departure of Rev. Edward B. Turner of Kohala. The story of his work is Hawaii. No. 4 thers. We cannot afford to lose such men without making their places good. Kohala has our sympathy in its loss. We heartily wish Mr. and Mrs. Turner the success which their noble work in this Territory bespeaks. Hard Hit. Hawaii is receiving blow upon blow. In another column Mr. Whitney summarizes the financial reverses of the month. Severer than any or all of these is the loss in the realm of ideals occasioned by the departure this week of Principal and Mrs. Charles Bartlett Dyke of the Kamehameha Schools. It will be some time before the community will know — if it ever do — what these two rare spirits have accomplished by their quiet, wise policy in their management of the leading institution of this Territory. For although today the Kamehameha Schools exist ostensibly for members of one race, that race has become so closely connected with many others that a commingling of strains quite unique gives much more breadth to the constituency that at first thought appears. In time doubtless this sole remnant of narrowness of sphere will cease to obtain. We are not sure that its present retention is not fraught with immense promise to the future of these Islands. This Territory is as unequivically committed to the world policy of race commingling as the Southern states are to superficial race exclusiveness. Superficial because where such exclusiveness exists nominally in law, illicit intercourse will destroy the reality. Hawaii's course is better and never as long as Kamehameha stands can the mixed portion of the population here be defrauded by a caste-loving section of its right to the best and most man-making education. Mr. and Mrs. Dyke came here at a critical time in the history of this instituticm. In their case husband and wife are one. Where one acts the other is involved. Both represent the highest product of American education. Each is a type of the twentieth century Christian, catholic in sympathy, intolerant of shams, absolutely devoted to found in another column.

They have labored so unostentatiously that only the inner frientls of the Schools know what a revolution they have wrought. That history it is not for us to tell. Suffice it to say that the boys and girls of Kamehameha have gained a fresh conception of the freedom, power and beauty of the cultured Christian life from their contact with these noble teachers. Previous to their coming they had been preceded by a series of able leaders. Yet it can be said without the slightest disparagement to the fine records made by these predecessors to whom Kamehameha will ever owe so much, that in financial management, in discipline, in teaching efficiency, in moral power and in Christian influence a new era was inaugurated by Principal and Mrs. Dyke. The saddest part of the present separation is that just when the labors of these years are about to flower and bear fruit the originating genius is called away. The Trustees have been wise in refusing to accept Mr. Dyke's resignation and in granting him leave of absence. We trust that his health may soon be restored and Hawaii be again privileged to number these devoted public servants among her history-making children. FIRST TEST OF THE NEW POLICY What would the Hawaii Association do with the suggestion loopen wide its do >rs to men of all races in the effort to build up a strong, closely co-ordinated, aggressive organization of Christian churches in this Territory knowing no caste lines of color and no separating barriers of race ? That was the question uppermost in the minds of the delegation that went from Honolulu to Hilo on March 10. The reply given was absolutely unequivocal. The native Hawaiian churches through their pastors and duly chosen delegates have declared with splendid enthusiasm and without a single dissenting voice, "Close ranks and charge for the enemy in the fight to win and keep these Islands for Christ." The story of this historic meeting is as simple as it is inspiring. I. The Atmosphere. Hi'o attended to the physical side of this important feature nobly. Scarcely a drop of rain fell the entire eight days anil tho' it was Kona weather the air boasted far more ozone than Honolulu knows under these southerly conditions. Meantime the spiritual atmosphere was ideal. The tone of the meetine was set at the first session where the half hour of devotional exercises refused to be governed by the clock. "Realize our Brotherhood," "Forward for Christ'under the inspiration of the Ilolv Spirit," were the two watchwords given by that session to the Association. The second day Rev. Mr. Shield's notable paper struck the key strong and full, From first to last it was a feast of brothers. Languages flew thick and fast, hearts were blazing with enthusiasm and faces told the story even before the nimble-minded interpreters had time to speak it out intelligibly. Rev. Mr. Desha was in his element, now-moving the Hawaiian heart with his rare eloquence, anon putting the pith of some countryman's speech into telling Anglo-Saxon. Rev. (). H. Gulick tossed his three balls, Hawaiian, Japanese, English, with all the skill of a Far-eastern juggler. Thoughts were sent speeding back and forth from the battledores of five languages until it seemed as though the poor shuttlecocks must lose all their feathers—which indeed they sometimes did to the amusement of the entire assembly. Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese had their innings as well as their white and darker comrades, luaii and joyous social festivities succeeded debate and report, while through all sounded the anthem of the Master, "All ye are brethren." 2. The constitutional question. Hawaiians love the give ami take of parliamentary discussion. Their Christian leaders were well trained by the fathers in the secrets of orderly business procedure. Each Island Association has grown up with its usages and body of governing laws. The new policy proposed to ask all four of these organizations in the interest of simplicity and to facilitate the union of all nationalities to adopt a flexible and uniform body of rules. Would Hawaii lead off in ibis movement was the crux of the entire situation. The answer was characteristic of this gentle, high-spirited race. Oahu's constitution was submitted as a basis for discussion. In a beautiful spirit of disinterested devotion to the cause of progress the Association took up rule after rule, pruned it of all unessentials and turned out a simple, usable constitution upon which all sensible Christians of free church sympathies can heartily unite. Furthermore in order to still all possible future controversies an English interpretation was adoptetl with not a dissident voice. It was an ideal result reached in an ideal way. Tt is to be hoped that Oahu. Kauai and Maui will second with enual cordiality this generous action of Hawaii. t, ' Our Theological West Point. Whence arc the future leaders for our churches to come? With the closure of the Pacific Theological Seminary this nnpstiop assumes a new importance. At resnonse was sent to the Hilo a Poard. Rev. Mr. Shields in an able address condensed the argument of the Usnciation admi'-phlv. H' c noint* were in substance as follow*: These T«'ands "-•11st train their o\v" Japanese. Chinese. Portiigrtese and: Hawaiian Christian workers. Those of the two former races should not be drawn from Asia because of the great needs there. Trained Portuguese and Hawaiians can be gotten from nowhere else. If the Territory is to have a Theological Seminary locate it in Hilo and at the Boys' Boarding School. First, because that is a successful institution with the required cspit dc corps and the industrial features so much demanded by the conditions prevailing in these Islands. Second, the theological department will react on the school and impress upon the lxns the claims of the ministry. Third, the passage from the school to the seminary will suffer no such break in associations and surroundings as oftentimes results in the reversal of determination to prepare for a life of Christian service. Fourth, Hilo and its vicinity offer large opportunity for practical work to students of theology. Fifth, inasmuch as Rev. Messrs. Desha, Hill. Shields, Da Silva.Yajima and Mo stand ready to assist in teaching, only one instructor need be added to make the movement a success. The Association votetl unanimously to request the Board to open a Theological Department in connection with Hilo Boarding School. 4. Attitude toward the two parent Hoards. When the financial condition of the Hawaiian Board was explained to the Association the response was most touching. With one voice the delegates pledged themselves to go back to the Churches with the message "Let us stand by the Boartl with greater generosity than ever." One leading pastor whose church has given him but $67 the past six months for support and for whom the Association was about to ask from the Board an annual grant of $75 refused for a moment to allow this action to he taken. He had known days without sugar, without tea. without coffee, everi without bread in his home. He had turned his hand to painting, carpentry, work in the fields,anything to ekeout a meager subsistence for his family of seven, but he would take not a cent from the old Board in its distressed condition. Another grey haired pastor whose fields lie far apart had been seen by Mr. Timoteo plodding through Hamakua mud with trousers rolled up to his knees, too poor to ride yet glad to continue faithful to his work. Requests for aid were pared down to the lowest figure in a noble spirit of determination to ask as little as possible out of loyalty to the Board in its time of distress. Then when the claims of Christ's last command to "disciple all nations" were presented the members rose once more to the occasion and in a spirit of love to the American Board for all it had done for Hawaii voted enthusiastically to endeavor to secure a contribution to the treasury of that society from each church at least once every six months. �THE FRIEND These gifts for foreign missions will go through the Hawaiian Board. 5. Licenses and Rallies. In the first time in this Territory men of Asia were licensed by men of Hawaii to preach the Gospel. One Hawaiian, two Chinese and three Japanese evangelists by name Messrs. Mo, U. Sokabe, Inoue, Washivama and Kawelo were carefully examined and approved by the Association. Rev. E. G. Da Silva, Pastor of the Hilo Portuguese Church was chosen a permanent member. Last but not least, Sunday and the week evenings were utilized to the full for a series of rallies in Foreign, Haiti, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese Churches and Salvation Army Hall. Overflowing audiences listened to all sorts of good things presented kalaidoscopicallv in the various tongues. The membership of the Chinese Church sadly depleted by removals was doubled by the addition of five new members, while at Honomu seven baptisms cheered the hearts of the courageous company of Christians in that Gosj)el stronghold. All told, for picturesqueness, for solid achievement, for spiritual power and prophetic promise the spring meeting of Hawaii Congregational Association in 1904, deserves to be held in grateful memory. We are glad to present the photograph of its members taken on the steps of Haili Church. D. S. CHRISTIAN CO-OPERATION Address delivered by Rev. Curtis E. pastor of Hilo Foreign Church, before the Congregational Association of Hawaii at Hilo, March 12, 1904: On account of my meager knowledge of the conditions existing here I must of necessity speak generally, and from theory, rather than to point out our local excellencies and defects. Coming from the more strongly centralized work of the States, I have here felt a certain degree of isolation. Indeed, it has sometimes seemed to me that, ecclesiastically, we are in very much the case of Israel, "when there was no king and every man did that which was right in his own eyes." I sometimes fear that we are thus losing the momentum that assists in the movement of larger bodies. This age, beyond all others, has appreciated the strength of union, cooperation, combination. It has taken hold of the industrial world in a way that is almost alarming. Perhaps in some cases it has worked hardship, but certainly it has achieved brilliant results. Co-operation has revolutionized the transporation system of the world. Fifty or even twenty years ago a long journey was a task. Today you can from almost any village buy a ticket Shields, around the world. We may see the same thing illustrated in the operation of the plantations here on the island, where the interest of one is the interest of all. Now there is a place, and a very positive place, for such co-operative organization in the Christian church. The signs of the times are promising. The last few years have shown great progress in this way upon the mission fields of the world. And here we might expect it. If Christianity does not face heathendom with a united front, how can she expect successfully to face it at all ? We are seeing such union work out with great encouragement in Japan, India, Mexcio. The denominations are working with most hearty co-operation and amity in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. There is also a positive movement toward the union of denominations, holding similar views, throughout the States. Two or three such combinations are taking definite form at the present time, and the emphasis today upon cvangelicism is drawing all the evangelical churches into closer bonds of sympathy. I think we may safely prophesy that the period of denominational disintegration has passed. Reconstruction and co-operation is the spirit of the hour. There are ample reasons for such united or cooperative action in our Christian work. In the first place there is one and only one Great Head of the Church. We are not one of Paul and another of Apollos. Jesus Christ himself is "the head of the body of the church." As members of that body of which He is the Head, we ought to expect nothing else than the most hearty co-operation for the welfare of the whole. In the second place the efficiency of the church depends upon such concerted actions. We have both a destructive and a constructive work before us. Destructively we are to break down the kingdom of darkness. And evil forces understand perfectly the power of union and co-operation. Pilate and Herod buried their enmity and were made friends together by their mutual paricipation in the condemnation of their differJesus Christ. Whatever end, we may exor of method ences pect the forces of evil to stand together against the progress of righteousness. And random shots will never carry their position for Jesus Christ. We must have concerted movement and loyal support along the whole line. The civil war in the States was carried on without definite plan, and without definite results, until Grant came into chief command. He united the army in purpose and plan of campaign. From the Atlantic to the Mississippi all moved 5 with a co-operative harmony which steadily worked out his desired results. Such a co-operative plan we need in the campaign of the church. —"If two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them." But the church has a constructive work before her. Looked at from the Godward side it is to hasten the coming of His kingdom on earth. From the manward view point it is the Salvation of Souls. We are in this line to edify believers and to build them up in the faith; to lead them from a diet of milk to strong meat. And there is a mighty incentive in the touch with our fellowman. It is necessary to receive and dispense Christian sympathy and encouragement. No matter how glowing the coal you take from the heap in the furnace, if you leave it in isolation it soon grows cold and dead. We need to heap together the fuels of our Christians' faith that it may burst forth in a the flames of Christian works. And as a church —as ministers here together—we must remember that our aggressive work must also include, by the grace and blessing of God, the conversion of souls. "He that converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." Here too we recognize the forces of united witness and united effort. The last two or three years have seen in the States, a decided revival of evangelistic effort. One most helpful feature of this effort is the assistance pastors have been rendering to each other. A neighboring pastor in the pulpit every night for a week freshens and stimulates effort. Perhaps difference and diversity of tongues makes such service as this impossible among us. But Ido believe we might move together along this line. We could arrange to impress upon our people and upon ourselves the necessity of united prayer for revival in the church,—"And prayer and pains," says lohn Eliot, "accompanied with faith in Jesus Christ, can accomplish anything." Israel marched six times about Jericho with no apparent result; but on the seventh day, after their march, the priests blew their trumpets in unison, and while the people shouted with a great shout, the wall of Jericho fell. Let us sound again in unison the blast of the trumpet in faith, believing that the walls of iniquity are tottering to their fall. With united aim and effort let us hold this island, and all the islands, for Jesus Christ. As we hear the beat of the surf on our sun-kissed shores, let it remind us of Him who �THE FRIEND said, "hitherto shalt thou come, and mother with their two children fled to the mountains, but were hunted down, and all were massacred except Obookiah, who was held as a captive by the very man who had murdered his parents.

This will be to us a pledge that the tides of iniquity shall not overwhelm us. Then allowing our eyes to wander over the blue expanse of the mighty deep, we recall the promise of a time "when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as Infortunatcly SCHOOL WHERE OBOOKIAH RTTTDFim After a long sealing and trading voyage, first to the Aleutian Islands, then to Canton, and then homeward around the Cape of Good Hope, they arrived in New York in 1809. Capt. Brintnal took the boys home with him to New Haven, where they attracted the Christian sympathy of Mr. E. W. Dwight and some other Vale students who gave them instruction for several months. Afterwards Obookiah was taken into the family of Rev. S. J. Mills of Torringfortl, where he labored on a farm part of the time for his board. Here "every possible attention was paid to the improvement of his mind." He spent the next two years chiefly at Andover, where the younger Mills was studying. Here he made great progress in his studies, especially in his knowledge of the Bible. The testimony of people with whom he lived was that "he appeared to be thinking of nothing but religion." Certainly his letters and his private diary would bear out this impression. In the fall of 1814, he was taken under the care of the Consociation of Litchfield County, and he was received into the church at Torringford, Conn., on the 9th of April, 1815. After this he lived for a year with Rev. Mr. Harvey of Goshen, and then with the Rev. Mr. Prentice of Canaan. Towards the end of the year 1816, he accompanied Mr. Perkins, an agent of the American Board, in a tour which was of great service to the cause of foreign missions, for it served as an object lesson of what could be done for the heathen, antl what they might become under the culture of Christian love. Obookiah's addresses were always appropriate, earnest and convincing. Notwithstanding all the attentions which he received, humility is saitl to have been a marked feature of his character. By this time several other Hawaiian youths had been taken up by Christian friends and were receiving instruction. Among them were Thomas Hopu, William Kanui and John Honolii, all of GRAVE OF OBOOKIAH. �THE FRIEND whom returned to Hawaii with the missionary pioneers in 1820. A memorial was laid liefore the Board at its annual meeting in 1816, setting forth the need of a school for the education of heathen youth, which led to the appointment of a committee to establish such a school. This committee purchased in Cornwall, Conn., two large dwelling houses, and a tract of farming land together with 80 acres of timber land, while the good people of Cornwall gave "an academy" with three rooms, and 13 acres of wood land, besides a considerable sum in money and clothing. TJie foreign Mission School was opened in May, 1817, under the care of Mr. Edwin W. Dwight, Obookiah's friend, who was succeeded a year later by Rev. Herman Daggett. Among the first ten pupils were five Hawaiians, including Obookiah, the three mentioned above, ami George Humehume, a son of Kaumualii, King of Kauai. Manual labor on the farm formed an essential part of the instruction in the school, which was thus made partly self-supporting. Besides the ten foreign youths, two young New Englanders were admitted into the school, to be educated for missionary work, viz.: Samuel Ruggles and James Ely, whose influence and example were of great service. Both of them were afterwards sent to these islands as missionaries, Samuel Ruggles in 1819 and James Ely in 1823. Obookiah's superior ability and character were recognized by his fellow students, who looked up to him as a leader, and great things were expected of him when he should return to his native land. He had made a beginning towards a grammar and vocabulary of the Hawaiian language, and had translated into it the whole of the book of Genesis. But his cherished hope was not destined to be realized. In January 1818, he had an attack of typhus fever, and in spite of the best medical attention continued to decline until he breathed his last on the night of February 17, 1818. The day before he died he had his countrymen called in, and gave them his parting counsel, in a most affectionate and pathetic strain. The closing scene of his life was peaceful and triumphant. The report of the American Board for 1820 refers to it in the following words: "The raised hopes founded under Providence, on the unquestioned piety, the distinguished talents, and the excellent character of Obookiah, terminated in his triumphant departure from these earthly scenes, before (he first year of the school had expired." As is stated in the Memorial volume of the A. B. C. F. M., "By the year 1825, a considerable number of the youths educated at the Cornwall school had been returned, where there were missions, to their native lands, and the theories of the past were corrected by experience." The three who came out with the pioneers, according to Mr. Dibble, were of some service in spite of their "ignorance, instability and waywardness," but those who accompanied the first reinforcement in 1823, (Stephen Pupuhi, Richard Kalaioula and William Kamahoula), "were a hindrance rather than a help," and soon "made shipwreck of the hopes of their friends." From the experience of missionary societies both of Great Britain and America, it finally became the settled policy of the American Board to do all its educational work in the countries where it is carrying on its missions. For such reasons the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall, Conn., was finally closed in 1827, after it had been in operation for ten years. W. D. A. "THY KINGDOM COME" IN KOHALA Truth and righteousness have ever had to struggle fiercely for supremacy. Our age and our islands are no exception to this truth. And the same conditions that characterize the Master's kingdom in other island districts, mark it in Kohala. North Kohala has the well-earned reputation of being one of the most attractive, cultured and progressive country districts in the Islands. And yet Kohala, the birthplace of Kamehameha the Great, is not today all we would like it to be. If the church of Christ would be victorious it must here wage a never-ending battle against the seductive spirit of worldiness. King Sugar is making a brave effort and all but succeeding, in crowdNot that the ing out King Christ. Christian life—in name—is altogether unpopular, but there does not seem to be that intense relish for things spiritual which is always necessary before "Thy kingdom" can come. It is far easier to fill a baseball field or a tennis court on the Sabbath than the waiting pews of our churches. In the midst of such conditions, when the things of this world are uppermost in men's minds, it is not to be wondered at that a strong spiritual apathy prevails. Yet while we think that there has been a growth in the daily Christian life among our old members, there is still great need of an active and joyous expression of faith in Jesus Christ among our people. Our deeper life is negative rather than positive. It is easier to talk crops than religion. If material improvements are any index of spiritual growth, then there ought to be a marked advance in the latter grace. During the past two or three years the Makapala Chinese and Japanese school, belonging to the Board, has been rcroofed and put in good repair ; two years ago the Chinese church and parsonage at Kaiopihi had six hundred dollars spent on new roofs and other repairs, and now we have just spent $260 on painting it within and without. This is now among the most attractive looking churches in Kohala. There has also been built and equipped an $800 kindergarten, which is doing noble work on Kohala plantation. Though now free of debt, it is sadly in need of funds for cu*"i>jnt ex penses. Here thirty-five children of every Island nationality have learned how to say "Good morning," what it is to have clean hands and faces, and to know the luxur and the necessity of a two-garmented dress.

If it were not for the fifty seminary girls, there could hardly be a morning service. Since Mr. Kekuewa's resignation, the church has been several months without a pastor. And yet there are many natives in Kohala, who could be reached with the help of a young, enthusiastic and consecrated leader. This noble church, which Father Bond built with his own hands, and which in later years has been loyally supported by his own children, ought not to be allowed to languish and die. Other men have labored, and now it is our pri\ ilege ami duty to enter into their labors and reap the harvests. IV. American, —There are two churches in the district for Englishspeaking people—the Episcopal church, St. Augustine's and the Kohala Union church. The rector of St. Augustine's, Mr. Kenton-Smith, is a strong addition to the community, both socially and morally. These two churches work together on the most friendly of terms. During the week of prayer they held union services, ami the evening of Good Friday will be obs< rved in like manner. The Kohala Union church acts as an adviser and helper for all the different phases of the Hawaiian Board's work. The Sabbath morning congregations of this church average about fifty, one-half of whom are children. For nearly two years every week a ten-minute sermon has been preached for the boys and girls. This part of the service has at least been an inspiration to the pastor. During the past year systematic beneficence has been instituted and our morning offerings have been doubled. This system, if faithfully observed, will put any church upon a sound financial basis. We have also inaugurated systematic daily Bible study. About eighteen families and individuals in the congregation are observing the daily watch hour. The "Daily Bible," a series of Bible studies, published at Clifton Springs, N. Y\, is guiding our thought and has proven itself very valuable ami helpful to our growth in spirituality. The present pastor of the Kohala Union church expects to leave the Islands for the mainland the latter part of April. After a residence of five years here, he and his wife carry with them a hearty aloha for the Island people and the Island life. As yet his successor has not been found. We trust that the new pastor's heart and head will be in the work and that he will be a strong factor in the spiritual awakening of this beloved land. E. B.

After the Hawaiian churches were placed under the care of native pastors, my father opened a private school, and in connection with it, he and my mother, conducted a Sunday School, after which my father either preached, or read a sermon. In the year 1870, we moved to Honolulu and the house was again closed. Early in 1878, this pretty little church was accidentally burned down. Fires had been started in the dry grass, in an adjoining lot, and although my father worked heroically to save it, the building was burned to the ground. When this building was erected, the majority of the English-speaking inhabitants of Central Kona, were Americans, but most of them have either moved to other localities or been taken to the better land. The foreign residents at the present time, are nearly all English—and there is an Anglican church which they are supposed to attend and support. KONA'S FOREIGN CHURCH AND PRESENT NEEDS. 9 his Master, joining the church in his home town. Three years were spent as a student in Corning Academy ; then followed his entrance into Princeton, and his graduation in 1896. While here he determined to follow the injunction of his Saviour, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." In preparation for this, be spent two years at Auburn Theological Seminary, New York, and later entered the Union Theological Seminary in the same city, graduating in May, 1899. His great desire was to go as a missionary to China, but the way not being clear for it then, he accepted a position in Mills Institute. As this was a school for Chinese youth, and Honolulu on the highway to China, he felt it was in line with his heart's desire, and so became one of the staff of teachers in this institution, remaining two years. As is characteristic of the man, he did not confine his work to the students of this school only, but gave willing service to any and all branches of Christian work. Becoming an active worker in a night school for Chinese at Palama, he solicited from friends between five and six hundred dollars for a chapel at this place. During his second year in Honolulu he married Miss Gertrude Norris, a playmate of his childhood, and at the close of the school year accepted a call to the pastorate of the Kohala Union church, where together they have been active workers in the life of the church and community. As a pastor he has labored faithfully, not only among his own people, but his interest has extended to the other nationalities here. To the Chinese and Japanese churches he has been "a tower of strength," officiating at their communions, baptisms, weddings and deaths. Entering into their lives in such sincerity that he has been often called upon to settle personal differences among these people. He has solicited funds when repairs were necessary on these churches, which is always a trying ordeal and which required great love for the work to be willing often to sacrifice his own feelings for the object. His interest alone has been paramount, for no remuneration has been received for this work. The establishment of the Kohala kindergarten was largely due to his efforts. His love for athletics has held him very close to the hearts of the young people in his church and community, and it is largely through his influence that match games of ball have never been played here on the Sabbath. His love for sports of all kind dates back to his college days. When in New York he won the cup in �THE FRIEND 10 an intercollegiate gymnastic contest. The Kohala Girls' School has always held a warm place in his hqart, and he has been one of the regular workers for its spiritual growth. The position as secretary of the Board of Managers he has held for the past three years. Such is the resume of his work in this community, together with numberless deeds that cannot be recorded here, but will ever be held in sacred remembrance in the hearts and lives of his people.

Thomas Hopu, whom the present writer well remembers as a school teacher at Kailua from 1830 to 1831). The other, and more notable one, was Henry Obookiah or Opukahaia. He was found weeping on the threshold of one of Vale College buildings because there was no one to instruct him. Rev. E. W. Dwight became his teacher, and soon after the ardent Samuel J. Mills became actively interested in him, and took him to his home in Torringford, and then to Andover, where a deep interest was awakened in the youth, and where Obookiah began to develop an earnest Christian piety. The result was the establishment in Cornwall, Ct., in 1810, by the American Board, of a training school for heathen youth. This opened with twelve pupils, seven of whom were from 1 lawaii. Obookiah tlied early in 1818. after some years of devoted anxiety for the conversion of his Hawaiian brethren. Some of his recordetl words were as follows: "I hope God will sentl the Gospel to the heathen land, where the words of the Savior never yet had been.

May the Lord Jesus dwell in my heart, and prepare me to go and spend the remaining part of my life with them. But not my will, () Lord, but Thy will be done." Obookiah's death lent a very touching power to his published wortls, and aroused to action the previously awakened thought of sending a mission to Hawaii. Mr. Hiram Bingham of Andover Seminary, visiting the Cornwall school, keenly felt the impulse emanating from the departed ()bookiah, and his classmate, Asa Thurston, joined him in offering themselves for that enterprise to the American Board. In company with five assistant missionaries, and the wives of the seven men, they sailed from Boston in the brig Thaddeus for Hawaii, October 23, 1819. They were to arrive at what proved to be the exact moment when they were most needed, and all was ready for them. It was solely Obookiah's intense desire for the salvation of his people, sealed by his early death, that kindled in Hiram Bingham's heart and in the hearts of his associates the purpose to evangelize Hawaii, and that brought to a focus in that direction the thoughts of the American Board and its supporters. During a few years previous, missions had been sent to the Orient, to India, and to the American Indians. But for Obookiah, Hawaii would scarcely have been considered, at least not urgently. It was the death of this humble youth that lent his words a pathos and insistence which prevailed. Through him a voice was given to be heard and felt from the inarticulate moan of a lovable but dying tribe of childlike people perishing in a very gross darkness. It became an effectual call of God to enter an open door, which later events have proved to be of high, if not supreme, importance. In 1819, men had not dreamed of the coming spiritual as well as political importance of Hawaii, as the central point of the Pacific in the forefront of Christendom, facing the great pagan empires of the Orient. It was a point to be redeemed and occupied by Gospel light and power in view of the coming impact of advancing Christendom upon the ancient Paganism. But what men recked . . * * * the Lord of the Kingdom foreknew. We may see how He provided for it.

This condition lasted during the continuance of the flow, which entered the ocean at Kailikii, about three miles north of Kalae, the southern cape of the island. The prevailing direction of the earthquake wave, during this eruption, was said to be from northeast to southwest, so that articles of furniture standing at right angles to that wave were overturned, while those in other positions might not be disturbed. During the greater part of this eruption, the air was hot and sultry, and the continual vibration of the earth caused many people to have a sensation of nausea, so that food was almost untouched. The lava and gases, having found a vent, the earthquakes became less and less frequent, and finally the island resumed its normal condition. But the memory of those trying days cannot be effaced. When ''He looketh on the earth and it trembleth, toucheth the Dibble, Green, Lyman, Coan, Dr. Wetmore. We give but leading names; Heaven has the record of the rest. The church was born of missionary endeavor. Its genius is that of local missions. Never in its history has the Foreign Church of Hilo forsaken its genius, and we mayrest confident that it never will. During the Civil War in America the Confederate ship Shenandoah went up the coast of the Pacific and assailed and destroyed the whaling fleets of the North. After that blow the industry was never pursued with its former vigor. The visits of whalers to these shores grew constantly less, and the Seaman's cause in Hilo waned. In 1867 a minister was sought to act "primarily as Pastor of the foreign community, and secondarily as Seaman's Chaplain." A religious society was formed, and, in February of the following year, "The First Foreign Church of Hilo" was recognized by an ecclesiastical Council. There were fourteen charter members, seven of whom are now living. The church resolved to erect a new building using the stones of the Bethel for its basement. The work was begun Kindergarten, Hilo, and one for the Waiakea Social Settlement. Titus Coan was the first to act as pastor, holding afternoon services after preaching on Sunday mornings to the Hawaiian people. Rev. Frank Thompson was installed in 1869, and Rev. A. O. Forbes, 1K74. Mr. Forbes resigned to accept the position of Secretary of the Hawaiian Board of Missions in 1881, and was succeeded by the Rev. E. P. Baker. Mr. Baker was a lover of Nature, and an enthusiastic student. His research among the volcanoes furnished valuable data for scientists, although he published nothing over his own name. He resigned in 1894, by reason of ill health. On leaving Hilo, he said, with a shade of regret, "The romantic days of Hilo are past." The influx of foreigners with the building of highways, telephonic and railroad lines, has marred the romance of Nature, but not that of missions. We are approaching the noontide of opportunity and responsibility. In the ministry of Rev. C. W. Hill, which followed that of Mr. Baker for four years, the present attractive church edific was erected at a cost of $13,427.44. The funds were se- �13 F THE RIEND cured through the efforts of Mr. C. C. Kennedy and Mr. J. Scott, and a fine pipe organ was installed which was largely the gift of Mr. Alexander Young. The old church building is now doing service as "The Hilo Free Library Buildine" presented for that purpose by Dr. Wetmore. The foundation stones which were of the stones of the old Bethel, still remain to support the new structure and so are thrice dedicated to the worship of God. Rev. J. A. Cruzan succeeded Mr. Hill for four years. During his ministry the membership largely increased: The Rev. Mr. Nash supplied the pulpit for about 9 months. The church then united upon the Rev. Curtis E. Shields, who seems eminently fitted for the place he has been called' to fill. He has entered heartily into fellowship with workers in the field. He has already added strength to the Christian cause in Hilo, and his influence is likely to be felt beyond the circumference of his own pastorate. Mountain View, Hawaii. Teachers. Banner C. E.

In another building are the three school rooms, and on still another side of the lawn court stands a neat cottage which includes the ironing room, store rooms and carriage house. Within the past year these buildings have undergone a thorough renovation which has considerably facilitated the work this year. A most urgent need in the building line just at present is a laundry and bath house. This the girls, teachers and trustees have been diligently working to secure for a long time and a small financial start has already been made, but funds are sorely needed for its completion. The dormitory system, too, is inadequate, and a new dormitory is needed in order to relieve the crowding that is necessary under the present system. Recognizing the fact that the Hawaiian girl of this day, in order to make a living must be proficient in some one thing, the Board of Managers have decided to make the Industrial department of the school a strong feature, and thorough courses in housekeeping, weaving and dressmaking will be offered to girls who will care to use these as a means of making a livelihood. A six years' preparatory course in the common English branches will be required of all girls before entering upon any one of these courses. �THE FRIEND. 14 With a force of earnest and efficient teachers, it is hoped that the girls may leave the institution well fitted to become good home-makers, capable housekeepers, dressmakers, or teachers of weaving. Industrial education demands a certain amount of outlay, and Kohala Girls' School is dependent in a large measure, upon its friends. During the past year the school was generously remembered by gifts from Honolulu merchants and by friends in other parts of the Islands, all of which have helped greatly to further the work. During the present year there has been an enrollment of 52 girls, mostly residents of this Island. Of this number, eight have been entirely or partly selfsupporting, twenty have been paying the full tuition of $50, and the rest have been receiving part tuition from scholarships. All pay at least a small portion of the tuition. The Christian Endeavor Society, still the banner society of the Islands, has g own and extended its work this year and proved its usefulness and helpfulness in many ways. It may surprise many of the friends to know that the school has been able to help itself financially this year to the extent of something over $250 through the weaving, sewing and cooking of the girls. Altogether, we have had great reason to be encouraged. O. L. B. NEWS FROM THE FRONT. By Rev. W. D. Westervelt. There is a Japanese Temperance Society which has been flourishing in Honolulu for some years. It. has about one hundred active members. It is almost impossible to know how many in the past have been members of the organization. Rev. Dr. Cuyler once said about his church in New York, "I am pastor of a flock of pigeons." "A flock of pigeons" is a good illustration of the changes among the Japanese. They gather grain in one field and then hasten on to is an alanother. The result most kaleidoscopic change of faces. There are many members of this Temperance society in other islands, and across the sea in Japan, anl some are probably in the ranks of the Japanese soldiers in China. The chief efforts of this society are directed against sake—the pre-eminent intoxicant among the Japanese. At the same time the members see the tendency among their countrymen to adopt the evil ways of the foreigner. Some Japanese firms have joined the Chribmtas Edition ranks of the wholesale liquor dealers of of THE Honolulu ; therefore this temperance society wages war against the use of American and European liquors of all kinds. There is a growing tendency on the part of our Asiatic population toward emulating "society" in the use of wine at social functions. 1903 The Japanese hold their meetings Eighty-four Pages of Illustramonthly and devote some time to a tions and Articles Pertaining thoughtful discussion of various lines to the Hawaiian Islands. of work.

Rev. T. Okumura, one of the Congregationalist Japanese ministers in Honolulu, used a stereopticon and threw this pledge of the Lincoln Legion on the screen, explaining it thoroughly in Japanese. Then he interested the audience by giving a series of views of the war between Russia and Japan, and made the strong point that sake was a greater and more destructive enemy to Japan than Russia. It destroyed more lives and more property and actually caused the Japanese government a greater financial loss than the war. His argument was practically that government suffers in the poverty of its people. He then gave a series of pictures illustrating the suffering brought into the home life by the use of strong drink. Such evenings pay, and the Japanese are doing more such steady temperance work than any other nationality in these Islands. It would be a blessed thing for Honolulu if the churches of the city would each plan to have a rousing temperance rally at least once a year in their church edifices. 15 FIGURES THAT TALK.

There is little poetry in this constant moving up and down the coast, where mud and dust vie with each other as kings of the road, but no one ever heard him complain. It is a rare treat to entice him to open his experience and unfold a few of his many adventures.

S. this faithful missionary. THE PORTFOLIO. By Wm. L. Whitney. Political interest this month has gathered chiefly about the question of an extra session of the legislature. The reasons put forward for such a call are that our expenditure! are proving too much for our income and that no money is to be had to meet the most pressing needs of the government. It has been known for some time that the Governor was in favor of an extra session to discuss, and, if possible, relieve, the financial difficulties. So futile, however, has it seemed to most of our influential citizens to call together that body of men who have already prov- ed that their abilities lay along spending rather than saving lines that it was not thought at all probable that they would be called U]K>n to show those abilities again. However, we are to have them with us on April sixth next. Since the call was issued, the action of the Governor has been very largely discussed by all members of our society and we have not heard, outside of the scurrilous .little sheet "The Independent," a single voice raised in approval of the course pursued. It will cost the Territory from $25,000 to $40,000 for the actual expense of that body and the amount of harm it is likely to do will, we may rest assured, far outbalance any possible good it will accomplish. The Governor and Secretary have been hard at work along lines of retrenchment, and a difficult task it proves to lie. While to every casual observer it is evident that there are leaks in the government expnditure, it takes a keen, careful and patient worker to find the ways and means of stopping the same. To retrench the governmental monthly expenditure by $30,000 means some severe cutting in all departments, and much ill feel- �THE FRIEND ing among those whose political and official heads must fall. VVe do not doubt that our chief executive has the ability and the courage for the undertaking, but we sincerely wish that he might accomplish that work without the aid of his foolish advisers, the Legislature. Trouble in the Water Works Department, over which Andrew Brown has so long presided, has finally ended in the consolidation of that department with the Public Works Department. The trouble arose over a certain defalcation of a clerk by the name of Vivian Richardson, who, overcome by the passion for gambling, stole heavily from the department safe to make good his losses at the game. Whether Mr. Brown endeavored to shield the young man or through pity decided on his own responsibility to give him another chance, the theft was not reported to headquarters. The Governor, when the affair was finally run to earth, decided that the protection of the people's money demanded severe measures with anyone connected with public dishonesty, and Mr. Brown was requested to resign. In the courts the only matter of general interest has been the futile attempt to securea jury totry the murderer Jones. The entire panel, consisting of two hundred and fifty names, as provided by our new jury law, was exhausted and from the whole number twelve men could not be found who in the eyes of the law were competent to try the prisoner. Whether it is necessary to try such a man before a jury in very truth his peers seems as yet somewhat doubtful, but it has certainly been made evident that a man with intelligence enough to read the daily papers and logic enough to form an opinion is not a fit man for the jury. It is simply another proof of the inefficiency of our present system of administering justice. There is not a competent lawyer on the bench or before the bar who does not condemn the system as it exists today and who will not say that it is an instrument of injustice far oftener than of justice. But we are bound hand and foot by years of precedent, precedent which had its birth in an age when the institution was the protector of the liberties of the people, and this generation at least will pass away before the jury and its absurdities shall cease. As to the case in hand, unless the prosecution can obtain a change of venue it appears that there will be no trial, for in this small community there can scarcely be found any man more likely to be competent jurors than the panel of this term. In business circles, the outlook is far from encouraging. The commercial reports have recorded little but failures this month Institutions which we have known for many years have succumbed to the hard times and have assigned to creditors. McChesney and Sons, an old established business house has finally wound up its affairs. The Kona Sugar Company, which this month likewise suspended operations, was the cause of the failure of the house. It is the same old story of a load too heavy to be borne, of too extensive investments, of an in- flated credit and the evils which attach thereto. Hart and Company, Ltd., the largest confection, bakery and restaurant house in the city, has likewise given up the struggle and passes into the bands of its creditors. David Lawrence and Co., Ltd., the largest tobacconists of the 'Territory, have been declared bankrupt and the buisness will he closed up as soon as possible. Several other institutions have changed management in an attempt to weather the storm which does not ap- pear to abate as the months pass. The death of Henry Waterhouse, our respected, beloved and honored citizen and the reorganization of the trust com pany which bears his name, has taken from the active business life of the community a name as old, almost, as the town itself, and as well known and as highly spoken of as any in the Mainland. In the loss of Henry Waterhouse. the community lost a most valuable man and the natives a sincere friend. Few men have given their time, their energies and their wealth in all good works as he did, and we who knew him even slightly feel that we have lost a friend 17 be replaced among the sons of men. The magnificient project of Pacific Heights, the dream of Chas. Desky, has fallen. Mr. Desky sunk a large fortune in the scheme, has given to Honolulu its most beautiful suburb, has worked early and late to make the plan a success, and now must pass it over to another to reap the benefits ofhis toil. Mr. Chas. Booth, the former owner of the barren hillside which has been made thus to blossom as the rose, takes back the land still unsold in satisfaction of the mortgage given at the time of the purchase. What will become of the electric road which gives to the suburbanites their only means of transportation is as vet unsettled. It is hoped that the Rapid Transit Company wiil take unto itself this pioneer electric road of Hawaii. Captain Rodman, U. S. N., in his evidence in a certain law suit, has given us a most exact estimate of the availability of Pearl Harbor as an open port. Briefly, he states that in bis opinion, and no one is better able to judge of such matters than he, it would be safe for a sailing vessel of five hundred tons (about the size of the little tubs which ply between the ports of this island) with proper steam assistance to get into the harbor. Also that a steamer of a thousand tons might with care be led through the tortuous channel. It does not therefore appear likely that we shall lose the Korea or the Siberia from our Honolulu docks for the immediate present. not soon to The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Interest from Various ly, as it has been received by many of the Honolulu ladies as a letter.

From Dr. Frank A. Lyman of Madison, Wis., came a copy of the Wisconsin State Journal of February 27, 1904, containing a full account of the destruction by fire of the beautiful capitol building, which has been the pride and glory of Madison and the State. The loss was a million dollars, and there was no insurance. "The fire is believed to have been caused from a gas jet in a cloak room on the second floor, near the assembly room. The flames spread rapidly and by 10 a. m., little was left of the splendid building but the great dome, and the ruined walls, whose architectural beauty seemed enhanced when stripped of roof and wood-work. The north end alone was saved." "The big capitol fire would undoubtedly have been averted, had the water supply not failed. When the fire broke out the capitol employees prepared to use the hydrants and hose which are stationed about the building. When the nozzles were turned on, the water failed to come. The water for the capitol is supplied from the big tank at the University. It is said at the time the fire occurred, one of the engineers at the university was in the act of cleaning the boilers, and when the demand for water came the tanks were empty, and none could be supplied."

It will give every one a pleasure who has seen the picture of the Triplets in the January Friend, to hear a few words about them, from the pen of their grandmother, Mrs. Frances E. Loomis. She writes, Feb. 28, 1904: "Just before Christmas Edward" (her youngest child) "and I went to Mattoon, 111., to visit the children and grandchildren. E. had neyer seen his little nephews, and we could get holiday rates, so, contrary to my usual judgment about jaunting in winter weather, went." The result of which trip was a very severe attack of grippe, which had delayed her from answering earlier the receipt of The Friend which had reproduced the picture of the boys. Speaking of that, she says: '"We were surprised and delighted to receive The Friend, with the 'write up' about the babies and incidentally of ourselves. Edward said 'it was the chance of my life to get my picture in a paper.' How good the pictures are, too! Louise was so pleased with her copy, and said she was saving it for the boys when they grow up. And those funny little boys! 1 just wish you could see them. They are a perpetual picnic to watch. They are here and there, and everywhere ail at once. Generally very happy and contented, but of course they have their troubles at times. When I was there they did not walk except by holding on to our hands. 'Now they scamper all over the house,' their mother writes." We cannot forbear giving here a further extract from the grandmother's letter: "In Louise's kitchen she had about half of the floor carpeted, and when any of them got over on to the bare floor, she would say, 'Dead line!' and they would flop over on to the carpet again. Their sister, little Frances, enjoys brushing her brothers' hair, and one day she left the brush on the floor. Dale and Dean were sitting near each other, and Dale picked up the hair brush, which was a large one. He hit his brother Dean quite a hard hit on the head with it, and Dean cried out. Dale was evidently pleased with the result, for he hit him again. This time Dean made no sound, but leaned over, took the brush and tossed it back over his own shoulder, and waited for what he knew would happen. Dale lifted up his voice with wrath, and Dean calmly watched him. Donald was in the dining room, and at the noise he came scampering out as fast as he could creep, to see what it was all about. He looked at them a moment, and then went to the toy-basket, got each a new Christmas block, and handed one to each ; and peace and order was restored. Their mother rarely interferes with their little scraps, but lets them settle their differences as best they may." The Alameda's mail brought a copy of the Kalamazoo, Mchigan, Evening Telegraph, in which was a marked paragraph of the funeral of Mrs. B. B. Bowman. A few sentences from this we transfer: "Mrs. Bowman died Feb. 25th, 1904, at her residence, 314 West Cedar St. Her end was peaceful. She fell into slumber, and slept her life away, as her daughter, Lucy, watched at her bedside. The interment by Mr. Bowman's side in Riverside Cemetery, occurred Saturday afternoon."
