But in order to reach this ideal in ecclesiastical statesmanship a center for English work is imperatively demanded. Wainee Church building is somewhat out of the way for the kind of work to be done and the new methods require a suitable Parish House. Fortunately an old stone building, rootless and floorlcss, but otherwise strategically situated and of very ample proportions, once used as a branch church and then as a school house and bearing the appropriate name of Hale Aloha, stands yet in the name of Wainee, available for this very use. The Church members resolved to rally about their pastor in his plans, subscribed a sum of money and set about to raise more. It is found that some $700 additional must be secured to put this building in complete repair. A subscription paper is on foot in Honolulu now and it is hoped that the entire sum may be raised in the course of the next few weeks. Mrs. F. M.

Missionary Fifty Years. One-half century ago on October 21, 1851'), Rev. Hiram Bingham was consecrated a missionary of the American Roarcl to Micronesia. On his way out he, with his beautiful bride, stopped at I louolulu, the young couple of striking physical attractiveness winning the admiration of all. They were called to settle on one of the Gilbert Islands, .vhere hardship and wretched fare soon did their work, wrecking the health of both. Returning to Honolulu they continued here during the intervening years, giving time and energy unstintedly to the far away Islanders, together translating the Bible and a number of useful books into the Gilbertese language, until Mrs. Ringham was called home some two years ago. Since then Dr. Ringham has continued his labor of love with unabated courage, his present task being the completion of the Gilbertese dictionary.

From the Journal of Joel Bean. yth mo. <;. I set out on a tour around the island, in order to attend a meeting of the Missionaries, and of the native Churches at Haiiula, and to visit Wai- alua. I started in company with Eli Corvvin and Dr. Judd,—they in a small wagon (or buggy) and lon horseback, having procured a native horse for the lour. Our course was over the Pali to Kaneohe. A carriage had never been known to go down the Pali, and my traveling companions were the first to undertake such an adventure. They both rode down, Dr. Judd's son leading the horse, the two hind wheels being locked, and several natives holding back with with a rope They went down in safety, but riding on too late, over a road unused to carriages, they were upset, horse, wagon and all into a ditch; but happily without injury to themselves, or damage even to their harness. I called at the I'arker Mission to spend the night, having prcviouslv passed a pleasant Sabbath there. I was kindly welcomed, and our company was soon increased by the arrival of !•'. \\ Clark, Lowell Smith and Samuel Damon, on their way to the meeting.

The foreigners of our company, on arriving, all repaired to the house of Kuaea, which is near the meeting house. It is an interesting spot—the mountains looking down on one side, and on the other, the music of the vast Pacific's waves is perpetually heard. Here we met J. S. Emerson, to whom 1 had a letter of introduction from A. H. Loomis of San Francisco, the Chinese Missionary. In the afternoon was held a meeting of the ministers of this island, to which I was cordially admitted, where my credentials were presented and read. This is a meeting held semi-annually, in which essays are read on various subjects, assigned at a previous meeting.

CELEBRATION OF MOTHER RICE'S NINETIETH BIRTH-DAY ANNIVERSARY. On the nth of October Mrs. Mary S. Rice of Lihue. Kauai, filled out the four score and ten years of a most happv and useful life. By a happy thought of some of her Hawaiian friends, one hour of the meeting of the Association of the Island of Kauai was set apart for thanksgiving to the Heavenly lather that He had so long spared the life and health of this beloved mother in Israel. The morning hour, from ten to eleven, of Thursday. ( >cl. 18, the Kauai Association, by appointment, listened to speeches from four of its members, in reminiscence of the life and labors of this highly esteemed lady. First Rev. J. M. Lydgate gave us American Indians of Oregon, but sailing for Oregon by way of Cape Horn, and Honolulu, were detained on the islands, and with the full approval of the American Board, joined the Hawaiian Mission, and were located for three years at liana, Maui, and thence were transferred to I'tinahou, where, associated with Rev. Daniel Dole, and Miss Maria M. Smith, they for some years had a large share in shaping the character of the earlier children of the Mission. Failure of health on the part of Mr. Rice led to a withdrawal from the direct Missionary connection, and a location at Lihtie, Kauai, while Mr. Rice still caring for the Hawaiian Church also engaged in the culture of sugar cane as a means of self support. Mrs. Rice was left a widow about The Hawaiian thirty years ago. �THE FRIEND 10 churches and pastors who have received aid from Mrs. Rice during these years, can not be numbered. The philanthropic, educational and missionary causes that have received aid from this enlightened gfiver are legion. Mr. Gulick spoke briefly of his relation to Mother Rice as a Punahou hoy in the early days of that institution ; and of her having early learned, and through life practiced on the principal that "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Mr. Win. H. Rice, Sr., followed with an interesting speech in vernacular Hawaiian in which he mentioned that his mother's father was a missionary to Indian tribes in the northern States in early times, showing that his mother from her childhood had been familiar with the trials and the joys of missionary life. Never had a son more cause to honor his mother. The harmony and healthy condition of the ministers and churches on the Island of Kauai, we think, is due in no small degree to the humble Christian life of this honored lady. Yet long may she live to he a light and blessing to her children, her many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and to the entire Kauai community. O. H. G. TRIBUTE TO MOTHER RICE AT THE NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. Not infrequently, especially at this lime of the year, we have days which, in the morning, give promise of great beauty which the afternoon does not redeem. The morning is cloudless— the noon-day is brilliant, but in the afternoon the sky darkens, the clouds pile up against the mountains, the rain descends and the day goes out in gloom and darkness. Then there are other days, which keep the promise of the morning, to the very end, the brilliance of the forenoon sinking into the chastened radiance of the late afternoon and the restful twilight of the gloaming. These are the perfect days. So there is many a life whose morning gives great promise, whose noon-day shows great accomplishment, but whose afternoon and evening are darkened and undone by weakness, or failure, or mistake, or sin which reflects back and discredits the whole life. The ideal lives are those in which morning promise and noon-day accomplishment are followed by afternoon peace and joy. Such a life is that of our Missionary Mother, whose 90th birthday we celebrate today—Mother Rice. "They also serve who only stand and wait." The active service of a busy restless life is commendable. When (iod bids us "go" we may not wait. When Ciikl bids us work we may not rest, but there is a waiting, service which is just as commendable and just as much a service to the world as the busy life. To this anxious nerv- ous busy age of ours such a life as Mother Rice's, simple, quiet, restful, full of joy and peace, DESK OF SAMUEL J.

The commercial course, started last year, is now thoroughly outlined and well under way. It bids fair to become a popular course with the young men of the city. The courses in Chinese literature and history have been greatly expanded, giving a new impetus to the study of that language. Lack of room prevents the development of industrial features. That the school has excellent industrial material, however, is shown in the fact chat Mills students earned over a thousand dollars during the summer vacation working on the plantation of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company at Wahiawa. The school is fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. R. H. Leach for a third year. 11 is excellent service during the (last two years, his experience and his familiarity with the needs of the students make him a valuable man in the school. The school is equally fortunate in its new teachers, Mr. Charles F. Brissel and Mr. Robert G. Rogers. Mr. Brissel is a graduate of ( >beriin, Ohio, a college that has already given some valuable men to Hawaii. Mr. Rogers, who has charge of the commercial department, comes from the Pacific Coast Commercial College of San Jose, California. These strong young men, imbued with the true missionary spirit, have thrown the force of their lives into the work of the school and will exert a powerful influence upon the lives of their scholars.

Mr. Emerson's connection with the church at Shelburne Falls though full of charm, was not entirely satisfactory, as will be seen from the following letter: Writing from the home of his classmate. Rev. George A. Jackson, at Swanipton, Mass., in April, 1880, he says,"l am here with my. classmate Jackson in his pleasant home within sight and sound of the sea. My rooms at Shelburne Falls are deserted, but not dismantled. It gives me a pang to break away from familiar and pleasant scenes, but I am assured that it is best. Am not yet located in a new field of labor but hope soon to be. I want to be settled and not hired by the year, as I was in Shelburne Falls." His hope, though not immediately realized, was ere long made good in a manner that was ideally satisfactory. In 1881 (Feb. 23,) he writes from Peacedale, R. I.: "I am just through with the affair of my installation and am feeling like work. Have been busying myself this afternoon putting my books in good shape. The matter of organizing the work is the great thing now." 'fhe work and the whole environment of his life while in Peacedale were most cheerful and sympathetic. He had many and powerful friends and a devoted church. Nov. 13, 1888, he writes from Peacedale, R. I.: "It seems now to be an established fact that I am to go to the Islands. I received a letter to that effect from Dr. Smith (Secy. A. B C. F. M.) yesterday. I expect to read my letter of resignation next Sabbath and have it take effect at the end of the month —I may by great expedition succeed in getting off in time to take the steamer of the middle of December." The need of the Hawaiian churches for a man specially fitted for" work among them, and, as secretary of the Hawaiian Board, to hold them to their bearings, was great. A tidal-wave of paganism, fostered in high places was threatening to sweep all before it. Few of this day can appreciate the meaning of these words. There was even a threatened union of church and State—with Kalakaua at the head. These are not imaginative words: the danger was real and imminent. Delay was only heaping up the difficulty and deepening the flood. Mr. Emerson's response to this Macedonian cry, though made at great personal sacrifice—for it called him to ians phrase it, not the least of them was an optimistic acquaintance with human nature, as well as a growing fondness and acquaintance with the best literature. This gave him insight into all the vexed questions of correction and discipline as they arose in Hawaiian matters, the other added substance to his Hawaiian speech, in which he possessed in no small degree the gift of eloquence. Mr. Emerson was married February 15, 1896, to Miss Eugene Homer of Roxbury, Massachusetts. Their wedding journey led them to England, through parts of Europe, as far as to Athens. He returned to Hawaii with Mrs. Emerson in November of the same year and again took hold of his work with renewed enthusiasm ; and in whatever part of the world his lot may be cast, it is to Hawaii that his heart will ever remain true. N. B. E. secration. Mr. Emerson landed in Honolulu in December, 1888. To return and utter a few words as to the religious—one might almost say the police-religious —situation in the Islands. The attempt was to yoke Church and State together in the same harness, the promised consideration for this spiritual headship, on the part of him who aspired to be the "Primate" of the Pacific, being the loaves and fishes, of government support. '1 he policy initiated by Doctor Rufus Anderson (Secy, of the A. B. C. F. M.) back in the sixties had worked its perfect work and this was the pass to which things had come. As to the workers on the side of righteousness in Hawaii—the chivalric Forbes, figtiting against heavy odds, had succumbed physically; Parker, Hyde, the valiant Bickneil and others kept up the fight.

We give below portions of a letter received from Mr. Akaiko Akana. A recent Boston Transcript article contained the names of the young Christians who were to take part in the prayer meeting about the Haystack monument. Two of these were from China tone being a lineal descendant of Confucius, studying in Vale), and one each from Japan, Africa, India, Mexico, Bohemia, Ceylon and Turkey. The tenth hails from Hawaii, Mr. Akana. Thus the public life of our young friend has begun early and he has had the rare honor of a place on the program of the greatest meeting in the history of the American Board. Under date of September 29 Mr. Akana writes from Hartford as follows: "Aloha I arrived here on the 24th day of this month after having a very pleasant trip across the Continent. I had no trouble whatever after I left San Francisco. I left Oakland on Tuesday night, September 18th, at 6 o'clock, and arrived at Chicago on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. I called at the Y. M. C. A. building and found Dr. Roy there instead of Dr. Tenney. The lady whom you spoke of came to meet me outside of the office and I gave her the letters and the slides. They were all safe. I had a very nice time with Dr. Roy that morning and I had lunch with him at noon. After lunch I visited the Art Institute, a part of the city, and also a part of the great lake, Michigan. After visiting, I went to the Michigan Central Depot to make preparations for the trip to this city, and at II o'lock that night I boarded the oe: train. I had a very interesting time in Chicago. "I arrived at Springfield, Monday, September 24., at 7 o'clock, and it was not long after my arrival there before I got on the New Haven Railroad train and reached here at 11 o'clock. About one o'clock in the afternoon I came to the Seminary and met Dr. Mackenzie here. He is really a fine man. He has a beautiful Christian character and I am truly delighted in having him for my faculty advisor. I met mostly all of the professors that same afternoon. Prof. Thayer assisted me in getting my room and in making arrangements for me here. I had everything settled at 5 o'clock that afternoon and felt very much at home then. It is a joy to me to be here in the midst of Christian men. I find the work here very interesting indeed. At present I am taking up the following studies: Old Testament Canon, New Testament Canon, Psychology and Propedeutics, Voice Building, one hour each week. It isn't so very cold here as I expected. The temperature here now is very much the same as it is in Honolulu, but it is awful to think that the weather wiil soon change. "I think of you often when I am alone and of the friends there. I was rather homesick the first two days here but such feelings are passing off by. degrees. "1 presume you have heard of all that had happened to us before I left. I was sorry for the expense that the Board had to bear. I appreciated Mr. Damon's service very much." [The expense refers to the papers he was required by the United States Government to procure certifying to facts of his native birth. Mr. Akana is a Hawaiian horn citizen of the United States, hut because his father is a native of China he was compelled to spend $38.90 to secure papers that would allow him to go from one Territory in our "Glorious Union" to a neighboring State. To this humiliating extent sandlotism in San Francisco has reduced our boasted liberty.—Ed.] ALEXANDER HOUSE. 13 and games which have been introduced. One devoted Japanese father brings his very small daughter earlyeach day and spends his entire morning in the kindergarten, evidently enjoying it as heartily as do the little ones. For assistants in the work, the kindergarten is training two young Hawaiian girls who are totally inexperi- enced; and a small Japanese girl who has no knowledge of English has just volunteered to give what help she can in return for the training she will re- ceive. Working with such untrained help is of course very difficult, and as the kindergarten depends so much upon the capability of the helpers employed, it is certainly to be hoped that the kindergartner may, in time, be able to devote her entire attention to the kindergarten itself, and the training of kindergarten students who may give their services in return for the kindergarten training course offered them by the director. If any one can inform us of suitably educated girls who are interested in work with children, and who would like to gain a kindergarten training in this way, we shall be very riad to correspond. A reception was given on Tuesday evening, October iGth, to welcome Miss C. L. Turner, who has been away from us during the past year, and to meet Miss Towner, the settlement worker, and Miss Strong, the kindergartner of Alexander House. The gen■ral invitation given to the people of Wailuku brought most cordial response and the kindergarten room at Alexander House was filled with over one hundred and fifty guests. A very enjoyable evening was passed in musical entertainment, games and conversation. We, who are new to the Islands, wish to express our hearty appreciation of the cordiality which has been shown us all along the way. C. L. S. Alexander Social Settlement opened Oct.

His wife and little child were there today. His sister was also at home as her husband had just died. She was married into a heathen family, and ti Id how she had tried, without success, to get her husband to come here to the hospital, hoping! that in that way Christianity might be brought to that home. Then, before he died, she told him how Jesus could forgive and take away sins and that it was not too late for him to confess his sins. That was a great deal for a Chinese girl to say to her husband. I told you before how "the sisters" were rather discouraged about the lion family, who seemed to go along in the same proud, indifferent way all the lime. But it seems as though the tide had turned. The girls are more friendly and ready to learn, and this boy at Fung Chou is so enthusiastic, and a little daughter of one of the family who is helping the London Mission has unbound her feet—the first of the whole family to do so. By the way, we sometimes have fun- conversations with the teacher, showing what the Chinese think about foreigners. The other day one of the sentences in the book said", "His wife's strength is greater than his." The teacher said that that was not often the case m China, because they had hound leet. but he supposed it wa's true sometimes in America. I said it was very seldom so there, and he seemed surprised and after considering for a moment asked very seriously whether it was on account of their waists being bound. He said they have a common saying "With Chinese it's the feet, and with foreigners it's the waist." It is so funny to have a man one minute using chemical symbols to make me understand the Chinese for acetylene lights, and the next minute asking questions that you might expect from a child of ten." On March u she writes, "Thursday a three days' mass began on the other side of the wall,—a regular pandemonium of drums and fifes which made it hard to study, since my room is the best possible place for hearing anything over there. Friday was just like Thursday, with a big racket all day. On both days they kept it up till late at night, and then had another session about three o'clock in the morning, for which they wakened us by firing off salutes. As long as there were no guns we could sleep through the rest well enough.

Before this affair took place I went over to the school and heard the exercises of the literary society, which I did not understand in the least. One of the girls described an imaginary trip to Hades, which amused every one very much. Nearly all of them are veryread v speakers, and would as soon as not get up there and talk about almost any subject. While the exercises were in progress all the girls were sewing on shoes or stockings which they all make for themselves. At noon I had done a rushing business at the "shop," in linings and other materials for the shoes. They are all getting ready for the "big meeting" in April. We must get our thin garments ready for then, too. Just a word more. The mail goes tomorrow. It goes every other day. It has been warm today and I had the plants out of doors.

A few days preceding election the ringstcrs were startled and the rest of the community moved to deep gratitude by the announcement of the determination of the Executive to leave no stone unturned to secure absolute fairness at the polls. The simple expedient chosen by Governor Carter to safeguard an honest count was the appointment of a large number of the best citizens as election inspectors. This action thoroughly demoralized the forces of evil. At the same time the sight of so many of the most honorable men in the community in charge of the polling booths gave a moral distinction to the balloting that had a decided effect upon the voters. Our Hawaiian fellow-citizens are peculiarly susceptible to appeals to their sense of dignity and propriety.

This Nothing better was most natural. could have been expected as the outcome of lost sovereignty, the fatal policy of President Cleveland, the carpetbagger influx and the emergence of noisy demagogs, all of which fanned racial flames. The wonder is that the reaction from the strict control of the Provisional Government and the Republic was not many times worse. The most startling thing about the Hawaiians was their moderation. The election of two years ago clearly showed how nobly they could act when dif- �4 fcrences were buried and the appeal to their higher nature was made strong and plain. Hut the election of November o revealed still deeper depths of integrity and self-respect. Certainly the effectiveness of missionary work never received greater vindication. The Hawaiian* of this island have shown a capacity for American citizenship, a discernment of the essential principles of civil liberty and the possession of self-governing power of a remarkable type. This people is rarely susceptible to moral leadership. The chief characteristic of the election was the well nigh universal scratching of hallots. This was as true of Hawaiian* as of whites. The native race has learned a lesson which hundreds of thousands of European immigrants on the mainland know nothing about. The reason of it is not far to seek. Hawaiians for generations have been readers. From the first missionaries taught the people to think. The form of Christianity introduced was neither monarchical, aristocratic nor oligarchical. It was democratic. The great mistake of 1863, the withdrawal of missionary leaders was a religious .blunder.

The victory for ideals achieved on November 6 is one more tribute to the puissance of the press. Honolulu's leading daily, of which the Territory has a right to be proud, fought the fight through to the finish. For more than a year and a half it has not let up one iota in its inexorable determination to see this city made worthy of its past. Other agencies have at times rested on their oars, but not this paper. Like the classic Fury it has kept to its task with the pitiless persistency of fate. Its campaign this fall was conducted with rare adroitness. It succeeded in exposing the wiles of the ring with a timeliness almost amusing. Finally when the crowning blunder of those whom the gods would destroy culminated in the madness of the Twilei rally, where the machine made its fatal bid for the votes of the vicious and ridiculed che reform candidate for sheriff as one who could be depended upon to execute the law, the Advertiser quick to discern the THE FRIEND grist of the mills of the gods seized tin- The Democratic Campaign. occasion to ensure the victory. All This was notable for its cleanness. honor to this doughty champion of Not a few of the Republican rallies good government. were disgraced with free liquor. Their chief opponents realized that they were The Part of the Civic Federation. Disgusted as were the better citizens with the shamelessness of the policemachine that had the audacity to seat forty-six policemen in the Republican nominating convention, they were at sea as to what practical course to follow to secure victory for the right. Most voters in elections where many offices are to be filled are ignorant of the great majority of candidates submitted for their franchises. Hence voting by parties as the easier way out of the difficulty has facilitated machine rule. Years ago a small group of public-spirited men in Chicago saw this and organized the Municipal Voters' League to study the records of candidates, tell the people plainly about them and give non-partisan advice by endorsing the best men. These reformers were laughed to scorn by practical politicians, but as soon as the citizens caught the idea, they abandoned the rings to their fate and elected League endorsees into a majority of the Common Council. Chicago has been well ruled ever since. Last year the Honolulu Civic Federation instituted this procedure here. It was misunderstood as all such movements at first are. It also committed the mistake of submitting the endorsements of its executive committee to the entire League. This year it proceeded on the principle well vindicated elsewhere that a small committee of men with no personal axes to grind can do the expert work of investigation better than a large body of general citizens. Its list of endorsements was exposed to fierce criticism. Its work was ridiculed on the stump and it provoked much merriment. Hut thoughtful men realized its disinterestedness. It proposed a definite honest program. It helped the common man to a safe voting ticket. The consequence was that only one of the men it opposed won out. that II out of the 15 legislators elected in Oahu County carried its endorsement, that in Honolulu every successful candidate but one on the county ticket and in the country districts all but two were men whom it had commended to the voters. Such a sweeping justification of its work had not figured even in the dreams of its members. building for the future. Many of their candidates were men worthy of the confidence of their fellow-citizens. The appeals made to the people for voles were mainly direct and telling. They gave a worthy exhibition of the manner in which a campaign aimed at intelligent electors should be managed. The large measure of success achieved testified to the appreciation of the people for this sort of electioneering. Still it is idle to claim that the gain was a party one. Practically there was no distinctive principle dividing Republicans and Democrats in intra-territorial affairs. The people voted in the main for those whom they considered the best men. No partisan result was achieved except in the case of the delegatcship which went to the Republicans and thus registered Hawaii on the side of President Roosevelt in national issues. Our Asiatic Fellow-Citizens. At least one of the Japanese papers of Honolulu came out openly for the corrupt police ring, but that this did not represent the real opinion of the sturdy, industrious, thoughtful and honorable people of that race was clear to any one taking the trouble to ascertain the truth. In their homeland the police department is so admirably managed that the sentiment of the best Japanese is one of contempt towards our inefHcient, grafting establishment. Heing a reserved people who do not advertise their real feelings it is not always easy to get at them. Those of us who know them found very widespread rejoicing over the downfall of what has been to them a menace. Stories of how their countrymen were mulcted by the police arc all too common among the Japanese and they have reason to feel satisfaction in the prospect of an upright conduct of this branch of the government. The Chinese, having a goodly number of voters, registered their opinion at the polls. It was one of the most notable features of the election that the younger Chinese citizens, i.e. not the mere handful mequeathed to us from the days of the Monarchy and Republic, but those who have grown up on the soil, acquired themselves nobly.

At Mohonk and in the annual meetings of the American Missionary Association it might be expected that his name would be held in special veneration. Hut far beyond the borders of educational effort for the Negro and the Indian, wherever the newest questions in education are being asked and answered and the problems involved in the relations of the black and white races are being studied, the figure of this great Patriot looms larger with the fleeting years. At Hampton recently a remarkably life-like bust of the General, sculptured by Mrs. E. Cadwalader Guild, was unveiled. A cut of this bust appears on our front cover. The Civic Federation is considering the question of instituting a movement to secure a replica of this inspiring work of art foi Honolulu. The place par excellence for it would be the grounds of Oahu College, where Armstrong's early educa1). S. tion was begun. LEPER CHRISTMAS BOX. It has come around again, the season of giving. Xo one really begrudges the little time we give to it for "Late and soon in getting and in spending we lay waste our powers"— And we have plenty out of which to give. As to the Board's Christmas Box to the lepers there is little new to be said. The old thing that needs emphasis is that we think we know the situation up in Kalaupapa well enough to do our own buying for this box. We have the confidence—we trust it is well founded- that we can buy things which will please and serve a purpose at the same time. No, no, not merely utilitarian are we: we know the use of toys, candies, gim-cracks and just pretty things: and such always get into our box. There needs to be added only that we have expert lady buyers. Fairness requires too that we admit that we have a balance left over from last year and so will need only $75.00. The box must leave Tuesday. Dec. 18, so all gifts should be in by Saturday, Dec. 15. f. R. A CONCEPTION OF THE DIVINE TRINITY.

C. of another church of power we attend- sided gospel we do not often hear. He and the Absolute Sovereign of all being, governing in perfect Love and Righteousness. Hut in dealing with his complex finite creation, He has to project himself into innumerable finite functions, as He is continually doing in all worlds. One great class of these necessary functions is his necessary communing with the spiritual natures of his children, revealing to them and inspiring them by his personal impartations. In so doing he becomes a finite activity, specialized and localized upon each individual spirit. As such He is the HolySpirit, still God, and yet projected into countless finite activities. The other great and most complex class of indispensable Divine functions is where God projects himself into the sphere of the Material and sensible, as a Personal and Finite Activity. As such, He is "God the Son." As the Son, He created and maintains all worlds. (Colossians 1:16, 17.) Still more as the Son, God manifests himself in finite forms to His earthly children, first as the Jehovah of Israel, and finally as the Divine Son of God, who dwelt among men as Jesus of Nazareth, sharing men's low estate, yet potentially possessing Infinite being. All this seems to be the unquestionable doctrine of the New Testament. Of course it is open to innumerable logical objections, as must be all conceptions dealing with the infinite. But it seems to go as far as we are yet illuminated to conceive of the Divine Nature. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," is declared to be the Foundation Rock upon which the Church is built; and the Apostles were commanded to "disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. So far have we light upon the infinite Mystery of God as related to Finite Man and finite Matter. S. E.

( )ne day this summer I called on old "Incle Aleck" ami found him stretched upon his bed quite helpless and feeble. He said he was (>7 years old and had been "a go-id Republican all his life." thus summing up his virtues very tersely. I asked him if he fought in the War. "No," said he, "I was too old to light then." This certainly sounded strange to mv ears—"too old to fight" and the wai has been over more than forty years. Some of the expressions of the people seemed peculiar at first but now I am accustomed to them. "I reckon you are stout?" means "I guess you are well?" I asked a boy at a hall game last Saturday if he wanted a piece of the water-melon I was cutting up. "1 don't care." was his reply. That meant that he wanted the piece of melon. "Candle-light" means early dark. Any time after noon is called "evening." A woman I called upon the other day said I was Stout-looking and looked "red and fresh." They have many original expressions. Their method of washing clothes is called "battling with the clothes." A woman saw the national flag for the first time a few years ago and was much surprised that there were only three colors in it. The houses of the people used to be made entirely of logs, but lately they have built of boards. Some of the homes are well-kept and cleanly and paint has been used inside and out, but many of the people are poor and have small and filthy houses. Pigs roam about in the yards, chickens frequently wander through the rooms. The cooking is not what it could be and there is a great opportunity for domestic science to be taught. Like everywhere else in the South hot-bread is a favorite article of food. That and honey make a good combination, much to be preferred to some of the greasy and soggy foods set before the hungry but unwilling visitor. I have travelled almost seven hundred miles on horseback in my pastoral work and it is delightful to ride about on the mountain roads and find out where people live and call on them, trying to get acquainted with them, to 9 bring them comfort and cheer and to iag for our fellow Christians and workinvite them to the services. \\t every ers in the "Paradise of the Pacific." place I am warmly received, though HENRY PRATT absolutely unknown to JUDD. any at first.

A great help to my work has been the baseball games. The Mountaineers have taken a great deal of interest this summer in baseball and there are several teams. I attend all the games I possibly can and play with the Allanstand team. Men are easily approached when playing baseball and I have splendid chances for talking to the men while we are waiting to have our turn at the bat.

The reorganized association is less than six months old. Now that we are affiliated with the International Sunday School organization, it is but natural that we want to see our Island Sunday Schools progressing in every legitimate way. The great danger is that we be content with a mere organization, and expect that to do the work without any effort on our part. Already our Islands have too many letter head organizations. We can not afford to join their ranks. We need offer no apology for the work in which we are engaged. It is not only Chris T tian work, but it is the most hopeful of all the varied forms of service in the Master's Kingdom. Therefore time and thought spent in Sunday School work is not only well spent, but best spent. Hut no ordinary service will avail for much in the Sunday School. It must be the most earnest, thoughtful and enthusiastic work possible. Think of the tremendous odds to be Overcome in the individual schools. Half hearted officers, irregular teachers, unresponsive pupils all combine to make the successful Sunday School of today a herculean task. If this is true of the individual school which has the thoughtful support of denominational workers, what shall we say of the great mass of one hundred and more schools scattered over the Islands, when viewed as a composite whole? The Sunday School Association of Hawaii is established for the welfare of every school of every denomination. There can be no selfish interest here. Our corresponding secretaries have been appointed for work among the different nationalities. Our departmental secretaries have been gjven separate departments to plan for and to bring workable suggestions into our executive committee meeting. The corresponding secretaries will then project these suggestions into the schools with which they are vitally interested. It all �THE FRIEND sounds easy enough, but it means a greater devotion and a more careful planning of details than it has yet received. ()f course we can have the old regime without any effort at all, if that is satisfactory. But just now we are looking for hungry men and women— men and women who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. We need more Cassiuses. of whom C;esar said: "Let me have men about me that are fat: Sleek headed men and such as sleep o' nights ; Yond' Cassias has a lean and hungry look ; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous." Therefore our Association would invite any suggestions whatsoever, from any source. The executive committee meets once a month. We want something more to do than to plan for the annual convention in May. This, to be sure, is the crux of the year's work, but •t is not the whole thing. The object of the annual Sunday School collection to be received Novem- ber 25th from every Sunday School in the Islands, does not seem to be thoroughly understood. Heretofore the Hawaiian Sunday Schools have been taxed $2.00 per school to pay for the entertainment given the visiting delegates to the annual convention. This year the first $2.00 in every Hawaiian Sunday School collection will go for the same purpose. All over this amount from the Hawaiian schools and the entire sum from all other schools, who do not entertain their delegates, will go towards the work of the Sunday School Association of Hawaii. "What is this work?" has been asked. There are some running expenses which must be met monthly by the executive committee —writing material, postage and general literature on Sunday School work must be bought and distributed. But these items of expense are small. Someday in the not far future, we hope to have a trained Sunday School worker giving a large part of, or his whole time to the development of the Sunday Schools of the Islands. We think a part of such a man's salary could be found on the mainland. But if it were necessary for us to supplement it here, it will be well for us to be ready to do so. Then again we arc in correspondence with Mr. Marion Lawranee, the general secretary of the International Sunday School Association, and the greatest Sunday School expert living today, in regard to his being present with us next May in Ho- nohilu at our annual convention. Mr. Lawrance may be compelled to be pres-nt at the World's convention in Koine If possible he is veryat that time. anxious to be with us. He has suggested the name of Rev. W. C. Merritt, of Tacoma, Washington, the secretary Of the Sunday Schools of the Northwest. Mr. Merritt is highly recoinmended by all who have heard him and he also knows Island conditions, as he was President of < )ahu College for eight years. He is now giving all of his time to the Sunday School movement and is an expert on this subject. Now if we could have either one of these men with us, we would be very fortunate. To get such a man we ought to pay at least half of his expenses, 'the annual collections of our Island Sunday Schools could go to no better purpose. Remember the date for the collection, November 25th in every Sunday School, and send the money at once to (i. P.

Many of us are agreed that for the with all present, the L'niform their short comings are the best thing for the great majority of our Island schools. Apropos of this subject, the Central Union Bible School has adopted an advanced course of study for its Young Men's and Young Ladies' Bible Classes. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Super, the new Y. M. C. A. secretary and his wife, are the teachers of these two classes. The course of study will be Prof. Hosworth's "Life of Christ." This book has been widely and very acceptably studied in Y. M. C. A.'s and in Bible Classes throughout the mainland. With the openiag of the new school year, new life and vigor have come into Central Union Sunday School.

The Christian Endesvorers have settled into a steady, earnest society, and give evidence of encouraging growth individually ami collectively. A change has just been made in the superintcndencv of the Sabbath School. Miss Caroline Potter, who for over a year and a half has given so freely of her time and thought to this work, is no longer able to do so. The Sabbath School loses an efficient worker ami will long remember her efforts here and never lose their imprint. Mr. Clark, a teacher in the Hilo High School, has consented to put his shoulder to the wheel and has already entered upon his duties as superintendent. Though Mr. Clark has been with us at Hilo for a comparatively short tune, he has been recognized by all as a man who is not ashamed to work for the Master, but who rather counts it honor to be in the vanguard of His army. The Sabbath School therefore looks forward to a season of growth and uplift under his direction. C. M. !•'.. THE FRIEND. It was also recommended in addition that the members of the Association, in their own local districts, should interview the candidates and secure an expression of intention in regard to this important question, which statement should be publicly proclaimed in the Churches in advance of election. There was some vigorous dissent from the platform of the League, on the ground that it was licensing and therefore recognizing, and participating in a nefarious anil criminal business, but the general feeling was that whatever could be done in the way of reducing or limiting the evil ought certainly to be done. Another matter which elicited considerable interest was that of "The Children of the Association." It has been customary to have R number of these "children" under the charge of the Association being trained and educated inestimably for the Ministry. These "Children" of whom there were eight or ten and who in point of fact were some of them aged men, were some of them notoriously unlit for the position. A committee was appointed to inquire into their standing. It was found that no one of them had now, or ever had had, or were likely to have, the ministry in view. In view of this condition of things the committee rec- a committee was appointed to confer and cooperate with the churches in regard to keeping up the standards and quality of the Deacons; a committee to assist in the organization of a Chinese Church at Waimea; a committee to arrange the relations of the Waimea and Hanapcpc Churches; a ministers' widows fund was established for the island; the Chinese worker at Waimea, Mr. Yee Kue, was examined and licensed to preach for a year, etc. Altogether it was an interesting and profitable session. The Kauai Ministers' School met at l.ihue under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgatc Oct. 2n. The time was given mainly to tin- careful study of the Sunday School lessons for November, and sermon outline criticism, Services have been resumed at I'.leele—they have been more or less interrupted during the summer because of many absences.

The following is from a recent letR. \Y. Andrews, by Rev. Frank Thompson, Seamen's Chaplain at Valparaiso, Chile, formerly well known and appreciated as pastor of the Hilo Foreign Church, and also in Honolulu, where he preached to the Bethel and Fort Street Churches. Mr. Thompson while a youth learned the art of steel plate engraving in NewYork city; after two years of that work, the doctor ordered a cessation of it on account of his eyes, and recommended a sea voyage. So he shipped before the mast on a whaler, and sailed, either then or later, under the well known Capl. Tom Spencer, who, many years after, in Hilo, would sometimes attend chinch to hear bis "boy" preach. Mr. Thompson's further education was at Williams College and a Theological Seminary; then, commissioned by the Seamen's Friend Society, he came to Hilo, and there lived, 1870-1874. His two daughters were born there, heeling the need of library help in his studies, he removed to Connecticut, and was successively pastor over two parishes, 1875-1883. He was again sent out by the A. S. F. Society, in 1884, to Valparaiso, and there he has staid and labored till now, though he admits that in some matters by which civilization is gauged, that country is 500 years behind Hawaii: Valparaiso, Chile, S.

The official reports put the list-of killed at twentylive hundred: the actual number will never be known, as many were crushed in the ruins and afterwards burned up. The injured are about eighteen thousand, and seventy to eighty thousand people are without homes, living in tents, shells or camps in the open places or on the hillsides. One-half of the city is wiped out; all the churches are either already down or will have to be taken down. The line public buildings are all in ruins. The water pipes, gas pipes and sewers are broken up; the railroads to and from the city are all disabled by landslides, broken bridges and caved-in tunnels. The cemeteries with their tombs, graves and monuments arc all burst up ; the remains of the dead were scattered about; hundreds of bodies have been gathered up and re-interred. All this happened in three or four minutes. The city was in total darkness save in the first instance the terrible lightning and electric lights in the heavens, which illuminated everything with a painful brilliancy, ami afterwards the glow of the burning ruins gave light enough for four days and nights. My first thought was that the day of judgment has come. My family all are safe and uninjured. M\ oldest daughter, Carrie, with her husband, have been in Scotland for a year, and were well out of this trouble. Our second daughter, Dora, babe and husband escaped all personal harm, as Mrs. Thompson and myself did. Kindly remember me to all old friends. * * * Yours faithfully, FRANK THOMPSON. KONA HAPPENINGS. Since the last letter to the "Friend" the Japanese have held two dedications near us, one of a combination Buddhist temple ami school and one of an independent school. The Buddhist priest, my next-door neighbor, courteously showed me over his building, when I called, with its school-room and shrine containing a picture of Buddha and other paraphernalia. The independent school was organized in a cottage, but on November 3, the Japanese Kmperor's birthday, with a few other white people, we were invited to the dedication of a good new building. At this dedication a number of brief addresses were given, among them one by our new evangelist. Mr. Okamura. It was explained to us that although most of those present were Buddhists, yet they believed that education should be independent of religion and the teacher and scholars might believe anything they saw lit. The teacher appeared progressive, playing the organ for singing and conducting affairs in a dignified manner. We remained for lunch, and enjoyed our reception. There are now three of these independent schools against one Buddhist school and three temples. The pupils in the Buddhist school only equal in number those in its neighboring independent school. The northern Japanese school-house has just been granted us for Christian 13 services on Sunday in Fnglish, and one of our best young men will open Sunday School at once. This building is near a government school building with eighty pupils, but several miles from any church. We appreciate this courtesy from the Japanese very much, and are hopeful of the new work here among this people. Mr. Okamura is entering into his work with an excellent spirit, calling widely and holding services for a dozen "listeners." Our Holualoa parsonage has been rented for a time to the resuscitated plantation. A small private school is now in session forenoons in our social ball, which we hope may enlarge into greater things in the future. President Home of the Kamehameha Schools encouraged us by his presence and an address at church the last of October, in the course of his calls around Hawaii upon those interested in Kamehameha. At the Kona Orphanage a new school building and cottage add much to the efficiency of this useful institution, and under Rev. Mr. Pier matters seem to be running very smoothly. Our last "Workers' Conference" only brought sixteen together, but these represented five pure nationalities, and we had an enthusiastic and interesting day. with no interpreting necessary. roar have joined Central Kona Church on confession and three by letter at the last two communions.

Few men of equal fitness for the task he has essayed in this volume could be found in the United States. He has made a notable book for wide reading. The treatment of the theme is designed to be not exhaustive but suggestive. Its purpose is to introduce to the everyday reader in the West the spirit which animates the man of the East. It is a timely book and should be read by every up-to-date American, especially by those who cherish sentiments of antipathy of Asiatics. The ordinary American density- of ignorance concerning Asia is colossal. If it were not, our Nation never could continue to treat the people of the Far East as she does. The chief value of this book is its freedom from argument. It is not polemical. It is brimful of facts. Its purpose is to let the light shine and this end is realized as far as this is possible of accomplishment in a volume of 308 large type pages. The ground which it covers embraces India, China and Japan. While the work is well done in the case of each section, naturally that which deals with Japan is easily the best. Kipling's fine lines serve as the animating theme of the entire work: "Oh East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat. But there is neither East, nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth." It is a good healthy book, true and informing. We commend it especially to readers in Hawaii and on the Pacific Coast. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York City.) "The Hope of Immortality," by Rev. C. F. Dole.

Thanksgiving. the afternoon preceding our National religious holiday. The Hoard was in debt. Just what the way out was to be no one knew. A telephone message canu' asking, "What is the exact amount of the debt of the Hoard?" Our stenographer and bookkeeper, who received the message, answered "I will look it up and reply as soon as possible." Then somewhat later the message went, "Six thousand two hundred and twenty-five dollars and seventy-five cents." Not long thereafter a messenger entered bearing a check for this amount with the brief announcement, "Mother Rice wishes to pay the debt of the Hoard." For the rest of that afternoon an unusual quietness reigned in the office. Soon the only officers of the Hoard who were present were on their knees pouring out their thanksgiving to the Great Giver and beseeching forgiveness for doubt of His loving care. Far over on Kauai a holier joy reigned in the heart of the servant of Jehovah who once more was testing the richness of the promise, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." It was great : Dr. Barton's Visit.

Library Extension. A question recently put to one of our Hoard by the efficient Head Worker of I.aid win House, Lahaina, Miss Mary J. Austin, disclosed one of the vital unmet needs of the people of Editorial this Territory. It asked whether it would be possible to secure the loan of library books from Honolulu for the US€ of the constituency of the Settlement. The reply unfortunately was thai since Honolulu possessed no free public library such a demand could not be supplied. Our local library under the able management of Miss Hillebrand does meet the wants of subscribers on the other Islands, but this service is necessarily restricted by the cost of subscription. Why should not Hawaii give immediate attention to the need vocalized by Miss Austin? There can be no question that the Hawaiians are book-lovers, but unfortunately those of them who read only their own language have no means for gratifying this passion because of the dearth of books in their own tongue. Steadily and very rapidly however, those who suffer from this disability are slipping away and already the larger proportion of the race can read F.nglish. If the voting people whom we take so much pains to teach the national language are to grow up to be strong, progressive, intelligent and widely useful citizens, the treasures of English literature and of contemporary thought must be placed within their reach. Should it not be the aim of our philanthropists and of our legislature to supply this demand? To secure a like end Xew York State has for vcars pursued a very simple and effective plan. Any company of persons in that commonwealth with the guarantee of some reliable citizen can apply to the State Library in Albany for a set of selected books on any subject and they will be immediately sent. The only expense is that of carriage. On their return other sets may be procured in succession indefinitely. Thus the entire library, outside of reference books and the like, is being placed at the service of all the people.

'The Hawaiian Board calls upon all ministers to read it to their people upon the first Sabbath of the Xew Year. The most casual acquaintance with the deep current of modern life shows its irresistable set towards the spiritual. 'There is a new ferment in the world, made cvi dent by the emergence of men of the type of Theodore Roosevelt, by the tremendous earnestness of the propaganda against predatory wealth and in behalf of social unselfishness, by the books which most profoundly are stirring men's souls, by Great Britain's repudiation of the abhorrent opium i'l " iquity, and by mighty religious movements. Japan is literally being born into a higher moral experience. The insufficiency of old time sanctions, the rottenness of much of its family life, its lack of commercial honor and the terrible plight of its best young manhood and young womanhood without God and without hope are burning into the soul of the nation a craving for Friendship with the Eeternal, which 1nicks a spiritual awakening beside which that of the past 30 years into the world consciousness will pale.

There never was a time when prayer was more needed or the prospects of its achievements so bright. Here in Hawaii we have seen the scale turned from dejection over a decline that has lasted more than forty years into a glorious upward movement brimful of promise.

A hundred years ago the new commonwealth in the Western Hemisphere was confronted by the problem of how to adjust itself to the conflicting interests of European States. After many years of diplomacy and not a few of warfare the pronunciamento which bears the name of our fifth president settled the questions at issue justly and permanently.

That ideal is to advocate the interests and give tidings of The Kingdom of God in Hawaii. This we understand in its widest sense, as involving the entire higher interests of the Territory, political, social, industrial, educational and religious. The Friend aims to give a monthly resume of the more important occurrences, to discuss questions of public interest and to record the progress of every reform. The work of such organizations as the Civic Federation and the Anti Saloon League receives especial consideration. Particular attention is given to the many sided enterprises of the Hawaiian Board. Space is devoted regularly to the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society and to news from the Churches. During the year the following special contributors will write for our columns: REV. S. E. BISHOP, the expzrt on Hawaiiana, well known by his norn dc plume of Kamehameha. JOHN T. GULICK, Ph. D., D. Sc, whose contributions to the Theory of Evolution are so familiar in scientific circles.

At last it broke, but the heated splinters rubbed against each other and broke into flame. Thus mankind learned that fire was buried in wood. The" natives of l)e Peyster's Island say that their ancestors learned how to make fire by seeing smoke rise from crossed branches rubbing together while the trees were shaken by fierce winds. In most of the groups of islands of the Pacific the supernatural element is introduced and the stories recognize a fire-god and his connection with Maui or one of his family. Maui's full name was Maui Tikitiki a Taranga, sometimes spelled Kiikii a Kalana or Tiitii. His father was sometimes known as Taranga and sometimes as Kanaloa (Tangaroa), one of the four greatest, gods of Polynesia. His wife, his mother, his sister and ihe town of Ilio, on the island of Hawaii. He was in the habit of going out fishing with his brothers. Sometimes when they turned their eyes toward the mountain side they saw fire burning near a place where the sacred bird, the ohie. lived with its family. Maui ultimately caught the alae and was disposed at first to kill the old bird in his anger because she had not revealed the secret of f.re-inaking to mankind. Hut the Alae cried out: "It you arc the death of me—my secret will perish also—and you cannot have fire." Maui thin promised to spare her life if she would tell him what to do. 'Then came the contest of wits. 'The bird told the demi-god to rub the stalks of water plants together. He guarded the bird and tried the plants. Then she told him to rub reeds together— hut they bent and broke and he could make no fire. He twisted her neck until she was half dead—then she cried and the raw flesh appeared. 'Thus the Hawaiian mud hen and her descendants have ever since had bald heads, and the Hawaiians have had the secret of firemaking. They learned to draw out the sparks secreted in different kinds of trees. The sweet sandalwood was one of these fire trees. Its Hawaiian nam-.' is "lli-ahi"—the "ill" (bark) and "alii" (fire), the bark in which fire is concealed. A legend of the Society Islands is somewhat similar. Ina (Hina) promised to aid Maui in finding lire for the islanders. She sent him into the underworld to find Tangaroa (Kanaloa). This god 'Tangaroa held fire in his possession—Maui was to know him by his tattooed face. Down the dark path through the long caves Maui trod swiftly until he found the god. Maui asked him for tire to take Up to men. The god gave him a lighted stick and sent him away, lint Maui put the fire out and went back after fire. 'This he did several times, until the wearied giver decided to teach the intruder the art of fire making. He called a white duck to aid him. 'Then, taking two sticks of dry wood, he gave the under one to the bird and rapidly moved the upper stickacross the under until fire came. Maui seized the upper stick, after it had been charred in the flame, and burned the head of the bird back of each eye. 'Thus were made the black spots which mark the head of the white duck. 'Then arose a quarrel beween 'Tangaroa and Maui—' but Maui struck down the god and thinking he bad killed him, carried away the art of making fire. His father and mother made inquiries about their relative—Maui hastened back to the fire fountain—and made the spirit return to the body—then coming back to Ina he bade her good-bye and carried the fire sticks to the upper world. The Hawaiians, and probably others among the Polynesians, felt that any state of unconsciousness was a form of death in which the spirit left the body but was �THE FRIEND. called back by prayers and incanta- tions.

Then Mahuika became angry and threw the , 'The Samoan Islanders tell almost exactly the same story as the New Zealanders, only using the name Ti'iti'i for Maui and Mafuie for Mahuika. They accuse Maui of leaving the god Mafuie only one arm. With this the earthquakes are made *vhich sometimes shake the islands. The Savage Island legends are similar except that that they say Maui stole the fire and was chased by his father into the Upper world with a great burst of fire. In 'Tahiti the fire god of the underworld lived in a banyan tree. For this reason the fire maker of ancient times uttered the following incantation while rubbing the sticks together: "Grant, oh grant me thy hidden fire, () Banyan 'Tree ! Perform an incantation. Utter a prayer To the Banyan 'Tree. Kindle a fire ir. the dust Of the Banyan Tree." In the P.owditeh or Fakaofa Islands the fire god Mafuika, when conquered, taught not only the method of making fire by friction, but also what fish were to be cooked and what were to be eaten raw. In the Hervey Island legends we read that the form of a pigeon and long tunnel left in the lava until he entered Hawaiki—the Tahitian underworld. Here he found Mahuika, the god of fire, one of his an cestors, and entered into a "tossing" contest with him. Maui agreed to let the fire god throw him up first. Mahuika tossed Maui so high that the fall seemed to be certain death. Hut Maui uttererl an incantation and became a feather and floated lightly to the earth. 'Then he seized the fire god and threw him up again and again with such violence that he soon Begged for mercy. Maui gave him rest on condition that lie be taught the secret of making fire. The Tokelau Islanders have the legend of Kalanga (Kalana, Maui's father), finding Mafuike a blind, but bloodthirsty goddess. He compelled her to leach him how to make fire.

Mr. Crapsey refused to renounce either of the two heresies proved against hini, one being his denial of Our Lord's Virgin Mirth, and the other, his denial of His Hodily Ascension into Heaven. This present notice of the case is not intended to express any opinion as to the justice of Mr. Crapsey's condemnation by the Church Court, in which it appears that his appointed judges were unanimous. He seems to be a devout and conscientious Churchman, even if disqualified by his intellectual errors to continue as a teacher in the Church. His mental attitude appears to be one averse to belief in anything miraculous, or contrary to the regular working of Natural Law. Our present object is only to controvert his language relating to the Hodily Ascension of our Lord, of which he writes as follows: "When I say of Jesus that he ascended into heaven I do not mean and cannot mean that with his physical body of flesh, blood and bones he floated into space and has for 2000 years been existing, somewhere in the sky, in that very physical body of flesh, blood and bones. Such an existence would seem to me not glorious but horrible, and such a conception is to me not only unbelievable, it is unthinkable." In these sentences Mr. Crapsey seems to exhibit a very gross misconception of the event which the Scripture explicitly declare to have taken place. It seen.s like a perverse disposition, so to travesty the fact described, and to ignore the universally accepted Christian understanding of that fact. In the act of ascending to Heaven, Christ's earthly body became "glorified," celestialized, as it were, etherealized. Such is Paul's language, Phil. 3:27: "Who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory." The nature of that "glorified" or "celestial" body as distinguished from its earthly condition, has been very explicitly discussed by Paul in the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians. That conception has ruled in Christian thought from the earliest period. How dares this good divine Crapsey. thus to ignore and travesty the well known record? In the closing passages of the (iospel records there are the clearest intimations that the risen body of our Lord after it left the tomb, had become endowed with extraordinary qualities which it did not possess before death. Such a quality repeatedly exhibited THE FRIEND. was his power to disappear and appear He wore in his earthly life.

This strange fact we are incapable of explaining, simply because we are unfamiliar with celestial conditions, and the physiology of heavenly bodies. An analogy suggests itself in the existence of water as. a visible fluid or solid, and its sudden conversion into invisible vapor, while still retaining its identity. ()f what kind of substance the celestial human body is composed, what are its physical properties and capabilities, we have no knowledge. It is probable that earthly human faculties are incapable of ever penetrating such mysteries of higher forms of existence. We must wait until we ourselves by God's grace ascend to that higher state of being. But this our ignorance does not in the least render improbable the theory that there is a celestial sphere of existence, whose denizens may at will assume terrestrial forms. Thus angels might appear and commune with men. Thus did Jesus appear to Paul on the road to Damascus. The gross futility of such a blind materialistic attitude as Mr. Crapsey's is becoming more evident than ever thruugh the advanc+hg progress of science. Later researches are breaking up the old boundary lines of demarcation between tangible substance and the immaterial region of ethereal substance pervading the universe. The N-rays and Radium emanations are throwing into confusion the long-established theories of the atomic constitution of matter. Those supposedly fixed principles are adrift. This solid, tangible bodily substance which we seemed to understand, is being proved to be something changeable into material forms which are beyond the cognition of our human faculties. There is evidently a vast universe of ethereal being which lies outside of our scope of cognition. It is evidently not for our purblind faculties to assert the limits of existence. Heaven is immeasurably higher and wider than our poor experiences of visible or tangible matter. The Lord Jesus in his Ascension has given his Church a glimpse of those measureless possibilities. He still retains his earthly body in a glorified condition. For lack of a better word, we may say that it is etherealized. But it continues to be the same body which Daily, daily sing the praises Of the City, soon to be Built by men inspired of Jesus In this world from sin set free. REFRAIN.

The Educational Committee recently organized by the Civic Federation -hould prove an effective agency in bettering the public school system of Hawaii. It should be fully understood hat the creation of the new commission is in no way a reflection on the Territorial Hoard of Education. This ommission is but another step in the progress of development. 'The Superintendent of Public Instruction gladly cooperates in every way with the commission, giving it the benefit of his experience and his advice, and placing before it all the material at hand that may he of aid to the commission in its work. In Massachusetts in 1905, the Hon. W. L. Douglass, then Governor, recommended the creation of a similar commission for Massachusetts, to study the claims of technical education; and he further asked that a well considered report be brought before the State Legislature with suggestions for bettering public education. Such a commission in Hawaii is a need. Its creation marks an onward step. We all recognize defects in our present system in Hawaii.

Inadequate provision is made for students, the schools are too crowded, more schools arc needed. Modern education demands that systematic courses of study he provided in gardening, agriculture, manual training, domestic science, nursing, sanitation and the like. How best to educate the children is one of the live questions of the decade. It is not a new question. 'The problem has not been solved. Hut new light is being shed constantly on many questions by those whose lives are devoted to the profession. 'The results of their experiences can well be collected and studied. Many helpful suggestions will he found. The knowledge of what other cities do, the finding out of their problems, and of how they have met these problems will present new possibilities to us here in Hawaii. We are cut off from the inspiring educational conferences and conventions, the stirring talks from renowned educators, and practical discussions by many teachers assembled together to go over at length all phases of school work. In Massachusetts, there are separate commissions on the study of English, of Mathematics, of Modern Languages, and on technical work. Certainly Hawaii needs at least one general commission to take up the study of her educational problems. Many questions will immediately present themselves to this commission. Let me enumerate a few: 'The scope of education, its administration, its method and its course ; the enriching of elementary education because this branch of the work affects by far the greatest number of young people; education for adults ; supplementary education; the using of school buildings and premises for other than distinctly school purposes; free evening schools conducted by the city in public school buildings; the introducing, in part, at least, of the many lines of technical education for boys and girls, now confined largely to a few private schools; taking the necessary steps to secure for Hawaii a Territorial agricultural college; equal educational opportunities for all children; the question of free text books; questions, particularly of health and sanitation ; systematic and regular medical inspection of all pupils in all schools, not a hurried running over, but a careful well-defined study of each pupil with the record kept of each and subsequent examinations compared and tabulated the probation system and its beating upon juvenile delinquency ; parental responsibility. : 13 'These are but a few of the questions home from I'.wa.

"Come Thou Almighty King," in the very appropriate song, "The Breaking Waves Dashed High," and in the closing hymn, "From Greenland's lev Mountains." From Berlin. A letter to Miss Chamberlain, from Mrs. Laura Wilder Wight, in Berlin, ierinany, says: "While the Americans set apart a special day for thanksgiving, the German people have a day to especially ask for forgiveness, and it is kept in the strictest manner. Our landlady told us at the supper table last night that no pianos could be opened today, no loud talking or laughing in the halls, and warned all of her boarders that in case of any one being arrested for not obeying the rules she was not in any way responsible. So I am spending the morning with my friends. ' First I write to mother, then to Aunt Nellie, and now to you. "Last Sunday I went to the 'Doni,' the State Church of Berlin, where the Emperor worships nearly every Sunday. We left the house two hours before the hour of service, for hundreds are turned away every Sunday. Church begins at ten o'clock and though we were there at nine, the crowds were large. However, I had made up my mind to enter, and after some patience I found a German who spoke some English and went in with his wife and himself. He had a sitting which he gave to me. It is a round church and very beautiful, though of course a modern one, and after the wonderful cathedrals in Cologne, Milan and Paris, was tame to me. The singing was only by children, two hundred boys, and the pastor was most eloquent. I could almost understand by his manner. "Thursday, the King and Queen of Denmark came to Berlin for a two days' visit. I was up early and away to the park to get a good place to see all the royal family meet him. With my poor German and the help of an American, I got one of the police to get me a good place on the corner, where turn to enter the the carriages parade ground.

Society to the Presbyterian College, lately opened at Eustis, Florida, where Miss Helen S. Norton, once so prominent in educational circles here in Hawaii as the head of Kawaiahao, is now happily engaged. The first year closed about the first of July. Miss Norton decided to spend her vacation in the beautiful old homestead in Howell, Michigan. As she is a good sailor, she went from Florida, north to New York, by ocean travel. She had made arrangements with other relatives to have a family gathering in New York State, not far from Buffalo and Niagara Tails. She was able to carry out these plans and greatly enjoyed Niagara. From here, by railroad to Michigan, the family party reached Howell. Of her return trip she says: "I had a very unpleasant time on my journey back to Florida, because the trains were behind time and we failed to make connections everywhere. We were obliged to change cars at Cincinnati, Oakdale. Knoxville, Ashville and Jacksonville. I took a carriage and drove for an hour about historic Knoxville. Saw Parson Brownlow's old home with the door-plate marked Hrownlow on the door. It is a curious house on the hillside and a front veranda coming out even with the sidewalk. There are many fine shrubs and trees. Some of them were new to me and the driver could not give me information. Knoxville is very hilly and the University of Tennessee is on an eminence overlooking the whole country and the river, a branch of the Term. I have never seen a more picturesque town with its many beautiful homes, grounds and buildings. The old homes were very quaint, and perched often on hillsides reminded one of the pictures of some of the European cities. I wanted to stay several days, and hope I can some time. "I chose this route to see the country as I had been by Chattanooga several times. The country was most picturesque and beautiful all the way, reminding me of Hawaii; clouds, mountains, valleys, rivers, all with changing aspects and colors made a panorama not to be forgotten. "We made our last change at Jacksonville about 9:30 a. 111. in time for the Eustis train and arrived here at 6:30 Monday evening. I was very tired but busy Tuesday as the collegfc opened next day. The college opened with many more students than we had last years at this time." M. A. C. Siberia Guests.

The first to be mentioned are Rev. Wm. 11. Day and his wife, Julia Lyman Day, who passed through the shipwreck of the Manchuria and then visited almost a month on Hawaii. We are glad to know they have safely returned as far as Honolulu where they spent a day as they are now homeward bound to their church and people in Los Angeles, in Southern California. Then there were Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Cheek, of Siam. Mrs. Cheek is remembered here by the young people as Lucy Wilcox, who visited Honolulu in the early part of i<x)4, on her way to be married at her sister's, in 'Tokyo, Japan. As Mr. and Mrs. Albert S. Wilcox, her uncle, happened to be in town, he insisted upon their leaving the steamer for a week's visit on Kauai. Then Rev. and Mrs. Wm. W. Ranney, of Hartford, Conn., at the winding up of the day, after having found our peerless cousins and entertainers, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon, and had spent a day that they will not soon forget, said they must find their old friends and call before they went on board the people and relieve the United Society of the large rentals now paid for office space; second, to establish a fund to promote the work of Christian Endeavor. During the last twenty-five years Dr. Clark and his associates have been helping on the cause of Christian Endeavor without a cent of support from any source. They have earned their own living conducting various publishing enterprises, writing for the press, etc. Moved by the opportunity offered to Christian Endeavorers in missionary lands for the past five years they have raised $10,000.00 a year to aid in establishing Christian Endeavor in mission fields. To its usefulness Rev. Mr. Fitch, the president of the Chinese C. E. Union, testified when here from the Manchuria wreck. Under this burden Dr. Clark's health gave way last year. The Endeavorers of the world should not allow him to bear it. The first C. E. Society outside the United States was formed in Hawaii long before annexation. We should take our part in this memorial. Let each society in the Territory try to contribute an average of twenty-five cents apiece for all its members. All money is to be sent to Mr. Wm. Shaw, treasurer, 600 Trcmont Temple, Boston, Mass.

They had chosen one of their number as spokesman, and he exclaimed in eager tone and broken English, "We take lizards. We take lizards." It was some time before she could discover the meaning of his words, and he was unable, because of his limited English vocabulary, to enlighten her. But finally she learned that this group of urchins had decided to confine their scientific studies to lizards. Their success in this line of research was great. They explored the surrounding country, far and near, and were constantly bringing their specimens to the university for the students to preserve in alcohol. They even discovered two or three new varieties of the lizard, which the scientists duly entered in their classified lists. But the most encouraging result of that Sabbath evening lecture was its influence upon the young scientists themselves. 'Their interest in something new and their touch with nature made new beings of them.

We have been having warm weather this week. 'The grass is beginning to have a slight greenish tinge. Tuesday morning ground was broken for the academy building in the hoys' school yard. They had a little service which we all attended. The boys were all assembled at the place, and some mats were fixed up on frames along side of them so that the school-girls could also be there without being seen. We went over with them and all the women in the yard went too. We went in at the side gate and stood on our side of the mats very properly. We sang two hymns, one of the teachers read from the Bible and one made a prayer, and Chang Hsien Sheng "opened the grounds," as they say, with three strokes of the pick-axe. 'Then we all departed, the boys all gazing after us as we went back into the school-room. Mr. Stanley took a picture of this divided group; I hope it will be good. Wednesday afternoon the boys and I got Mrs. Chapin to go walking with us. In the evening we went to the Stanley's as usual. Mr. Stanley is having trouble with his eyes so Miss (irace did the reading. About half the people I know are having bad eyes just now. The Chinese are having dreadful times, with their eyes all swollen and inflamed and tearful. Miss Grace goes over to the school every night to put in eye medicine for the people. This afternoon we took the girls to walk again, around the village. When we came back Miss Grace sent out a basket of pears, one apiece, which was a great treat. The girls and women, men too, in fact, are shedding their wadded garments and seem to be much thinner than they were. With some of them your chief feeling is one of relief lo *•* something that can be washed. Of course, the wadded garments can't be washed, yet they are made of cotton and show the dirt. I meant to tell you last week about Mrs. Stanley's woman, the baby's nurse. She is a Tien-tsin woman, a Christian, but one who could not read and knew very little about the Rible. Now Mrs. Stanley is helping her learn, and she is very much interested in Matthew. She said the other day, "Chia Mv Shih preached one Sunday that we ought to have hope. When I am reading Matthew T keep thinking 'How good this is!' and I am almost afraid to go on for fear the next page won't be so good as the last; I suppose I ought to have hope about that because it always turns out that it is just as good." Think of having the Bible as fresh to you as that! March 24. —It Is interesting to see the men at work. They "pound" with a great stone which eight of them raise by means of ropes and let fall with a thud. livery time they lift it they all shout out strange noises, very much as sailors do. There are ever so many workmen here now; these who are pounding the ground for foundations, and the masons and carpenters for the boys' building and the ladies' house. Yesterday they were all called into the church where the pastor and others told them how they should behave. Yesterday noon I went over to the school to "open shop." 'There was the usual rush to buy cloth for shoe linings. Quarterly meeting comes at Easter and people will come from all over the field to the communion service. So it behooves the girls to have their new shoes and spring garments ready, and it takes time to embroider. As I write there are two or three girls who conic and gaze in at the window—people from some other village who are interested in the wonderful foreigner. April Ist.—"The early part of this week our woman's husband, Mr. Chang Chili Ping, came back from his field for a few days, and Tuesday afternoon he gave his report at prayer-meeting. He goes to a good many different towns and villages, and this time he has come upon one where the people were very much interested. About twenty were willing to put down their names as inquirers, and—he opened a package ami brought out three bronze idols which they gave up. He told in very graphic language, which I could not understand, how afraid the men were to take them down, and how they expected some sort of retribution, and how long they hesitated. One was a very old Buddha which had come from India and been in the family for a great many years. It had wooly hair. The other two were Chinese. You should have seen the interest of the boys and girls as these idols were produced, exactly as if they had lived where there were no idols. I think they are to be given to Miss Gertrude. On Friday Mrs. Stanley's cook made a special cake in honor of Mrs. Ellis, and Miss Grace, Dr. Tallmon and I were invited to help eat it up. It was a delicious cake and was decorated on the top with Chinese characters in pink frosting to the effect that the love of preaching "the doctrine" would even make a husband and wife willing to be separated for a while. There were also some English words which we could not make out. Yesterday afternoon we all went to look at the building's. The boys' school has got about three feet above the ground. Dust was flying around everywhere, and there is lime mixed with it. Mr. Campbell says it is hard on the eyes. We call the building operations "Mr. Campbell's school," for he is teaching the Chinese so many better ways of doing things, and they are so glad to learn. April 8. —Thursday night, Mrs. Ellis told all about the station class. She had been taking notes so as to know how to do. She told about one- old woman wdio came with some one else and V new nothing at all about "the doctrine." She wanted to study, but had nothing to begin on, so after explaining and talking with her for a day or two Miss Gertrude told her to go home and take down her kitchen god and come back. She wanted to prove the woman's sincerity. Her home was eight miles away and she went off and for some time she didn't come back. Finally, just before the end of the class, she walked in. Miss Gertrude asked her what she had done at home. She told of a funeral and other things she had attended to. The kitchen god ? Oh yes, she had burned him all right and now she was ready to study. She was old and the time was short, but she learned the little rhymed prayer and the blessings and two or three Bible verses. Mrs. Ellis' birthday came while they were there, and she gave them a feast of meat dumpling:. Three women, who had been delayed in starting arriv- �18 rd at the class that very morning; they were hot and tired after an eight-mile walk, but said it was surely the grace of God that they arrived in time for the dumplings. There were other interesting people there. Quite a number of women unbound their feet while they were there. The Choti family matters have worked out beyond our hopes. The older brother who was not in the church has at last consented to give up his opium shop, and it has been bought by the Tuckers, Ellises and Mrs. Smith and turned into a street chapel. The young men in the church, several of them, take turns going there to preach, and Ting Hsien Sheng, the Ellises' teacher, goes every night to take to the more educated men. Dr. Tucker wrote that he went the other night and there were 150 people there. You spoke of thinking Lin Ching was a new work. It is only a newly awakened work, for the Chapins, Perkins and Dr. Wagner's family were all there a good while. But it was only after the Boxers had devastcd things as much as possible that there began to be any interest. Now the harvest is suddenly at hand with no one there but Mrs. Smith to take charge of the reaping. That is why we are so anxious to go there next year, for although Dr. Tallmon and I could not work yet, Mr. Chapin would be in his parish instead of two days' journey away. ANENT THE CHINESE. The new work on Hotel street is growing. Night school and children's meetings are showing larger attendance every week. The pressing need is for more teachers to help instruct those who come so eager to learn. Mr. H. Jackson reports a splendid opportunity at the station just opened at Hanapepe, Kauai. Between 30 and 40 Chinese children attend the Mission school daily. More would come if there was more room. Mr. C. How Fo writes from Kula, THE FRIEND. FA.

The season of the year is at hand when Christian Churches the world over, with ever increasing unanimity as time passes, focus their activities upon the central verity of religion—the undying life of God in the human soul. The everliving God was regnant in Jesus, therefore death had no power over hjjun. That same God breathes in the heart of every man and if he will enthrone Him, life everlasting is his surest posIt is well that fashionable session. society should pause in its round of pleasures, that the daily call to worship should be heard above the din of conflicting business interests, that men should attend to the still small voice within them and that every possible means should be used to open their ears to the resurrection duct sung by Nature and her Lord Christ. For though Lent is supposed to concern itself much with the sufferings of the Savior, Easter glory shines through it all. We are glad to see that in Honolulu this solemn joyous season is not suffered to be the priceless possession of one or two churches but is claimed by all and used by all. Fortunately the forty days are to be ushered in by a series of services under Rev, Howard Agnew Johnston, D. D., of New York, who is just returning from a trip to the mission fields of Asia whither he was sent by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church as the representative of its Committee on Evangelistic work.

Primarily he is a teacher of the New Testament, and until within a very few years he has been comparatively unknown beyond a small circle. Like the leaven in our Lord's parable, however, his influence has spread quietly and imperceptibly throughout the entire Union until now he is known everywhere in the student world It is characteristic of the wideawakeneas of Japan that four years ago a movement was inaugurated there to get Dr. Bosworth to lecture in the Empire, Japanese Christian No. 2 Bingham, of the pioneer band of missionaries.

As the writer viewerl it, the latter part of January, the lake was last filling up tlii' pit, and was in constant and terrific activity. From a glowing bole at one side, the burning flow came pouring out covering the black surface of the pit with golden fire. This in turn would soon become blackened, only again to break and crack, allowing the molten fiery rock to spread its quilt of gold. From the volcano house, three miles, where every comfort is given the traveler, the bright glow can be plainly seen. The fountains of liquid fire, and bright flowing streams of burning lava, brighten the whole heavens, so that one can read at midnight by the light of this great lake of fire, two blackened cones tower up near the crater's edge, as mighty guardians of this nature's great wonder house.

A powerful reason for this contention is the existence of the great Mohokea volcano, long quiescent, only ten miles LOOKING INTO HALEMAUMAU east of I'mi Keokeo, and exactly twenty miles south of Mokuaweoweo. Mohokea is one of the largest caldcras on the globe. It is five miles in diameter, having three times the area of Mokuaweoweo, and view, without the least danger, the great twice that of Haleakala.

Having had no know 1 edge of what snow-flakes look like before, 1 thought that they were cotton or wool swept out of factories. I stood for awhile and looked at them until more came and I ran into the building and inquired. The hoys came laughing at me and said that they were sriowflakes. In a short time the air was filled with the beautiful flakes. My notion of the snow was something like that which I saw in ice factories, that is frozen moisture on the ground. The story was repeated at the school of pedagogy and the girls laughed at me and came after me with snowballs. I could not make a snowball then because the snow was too cold for me. So they got the best of rue the whole afternoon. It was then necessary for me to keep away from them as much as possible. Two days ago we had the pleasure of seeing the most beautiful sight of snow fall. The students here informed me of the fact that nothing of its kind was noticed here before. It was absolutely charming. The trees were beautifully arrayed with snow and as I passed along the Asylum street that evening the trees looked as if they were overlaid with polished silver. Oh, if the world wiil be as white as that snow and the hearts of men be arrayed with purity as those trees were how much more joy would we have in the presence of the Creator of all these things. I only wish I knew the English well enough to he able to describe to you fully the effect upon me of that most magnificent sight.

It is as follows: "A traveller went to the Sandwich Is- lands, and attended a native church. Recoming interested, he got into conversation with a lady, who told him that she had come out to marry a missionary, but when she reached the Islands, the young man had been killed and eaten by the savages. She remained to work, and told the traveller, that the native preacher in the pulpit that day was the chief who had killed ami feasted on her betrothed!" "fhe story sounded all right."

We wish to thank the friends who so kindly and generously contributed to the Christinas entertainment of the Alexander House, boys and girls.

There was a spirit of happiness and joy which pervaded the atmosphere. We also lake this opportunity of thanking the faculty of the Kamehameha Pre paratory School for the set of American Cyclopedia, books and magazines sent, and the one who so kindly sends us the new magazines.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. 11 I he communication from your correspondent on Maui prompts me to give my experience. five or six years ago I came to the conclusion thai a local library in Lihue ought to lie a good thing in spite of the fact that it was a small scattered community and many people already had more than they could read in the way of magazines and other periodicals. No yiui one else, so far as I know, agreed with me. or at any rale was at all enthusiastic in approval. So that means for the purpose were not readily forthcoming. However, I secured four or five generous patrons who became life members by paying $10.00 each, and one of them fitted up suitable cases in the Sunday School room of the new church. With this start I ordered the first installment of hooks from New York, and when they came varnished them to protect them from insects and wear and tc>ar. Annual membership I fixed at $1.00 a year —purposely very low. Many libraries, in my opinion, buy a valuable lot of books and then lock them up by too high a membership fee. As I expected, only more so, scarcely anybody patronized my library, even when, by various means I had considerably increased the number of books. In spite of low membership fees the library was lying idle. I was driven to a radical new departure. I'.y way of experiment I undertook to deliver the books to members. Every two weeks the boy went round and took orders and then promptly delivered the There is no thought of abandoning the Music Festival. Instead of coining every year it is likely to become a biennial institution. 'I he reason for this lies in the amount of work required of the choruses which is burdensome in view of the amount of regular school work. Then I too, there is planned something more ambitious than the desultory choruses hitherto rendered. With more time to practice a cantata having musical worth as well as melody could be rendered as well as not. There has been a committee appointed by the schools interested which comprises the leaders in the music work of the city and this committee will go about choosing a suitable work to engage the attention of the choruses at the beginning of the nexf school year, thus allowing for several months more practice than books. fhis resulted in the immediate usual, 'fhe festival will probably take extension of the usefulness of the library, place some time in May of 1908, and the people took books regularly, and read soloists may be secured from the main- them faithfully, who would never in the land.

M. LYDGATE. Not in many years has there been so stormy a season as that in which 10X36 went out and 1007 came in. For two successive Sundays at Lihue it was impossible to have any services, 'fhe rain fell in torrents and the roads were almost impassable, 'fhe same was true of Koloa and other parts of the island. 'fhe Sunday School exhibitions arranged for Hanapepe and Koolau for the first Sunday of January were postponed. Considering the bad weather it is fortunate that the week of prayer was changed to Easter. A special session of the "Ministers' School" was held at Lihue on January 11, and was fairly well attended in spite of the bad roads and a steady torrent of rain. Mrs. J. M.

The circulating medium was brown cotton. \Yc raised but small amounts of cloth at any one time, with which to purchase lumber, a few hundred feet at a time, and used that up whilst raising more cloth for another supply.

Before this issue will reach them, many to whom he has been "i stranger will have begun to regard him as a friend. The friendship into which Dr. Bosworth binds men is not of the momentary sort. It is his rare privilege to minister to the dee]) things in human nature and whoever enters the circle of those whom be thus touches counts him a comrade of the spirit life, one of the eternal friends of whom Jesus spoke. It is Honolulu's rare privilege to have one week of Dr. Bosworth and this we owe to Japan, where for five years plans to entice him across the ocean have been slowly perfecting. Japan is coming to be one of those parts of the earth that get what ihey set their heart upon. Steadily from the English-speaking world a constantly enlarging stream of men and women of international worth is moving over sea to give of the best for the upbuilding of the new national life. The going of the World's Student Federation to Tokyo is one more testimony to the drawing power of the Little Giant of the Far East. It is also another commentary on Jesus' promise, "To him that hath shall be given." Honolulu being on the road gets much of this inspiration which Japan is securing. There is no reason why every world traveler should not find it impossible to leave out of his itinerary these Islands. To make them the Magnetic Center of the Pacific World, they must become what God intended them for, a Stronghold of His Kingdom.

Fortunately he has behind him in the native race a constituency rarely fitted by its nature to contribute towards this destiny, for hospitality always has been a basal quality in the Hawaiian. Meantime there is a breadth and sanity in the plea of this message for securing a larger white immigration. For while Hawaii welcomes the Asiatic, she realizes that her unique mission of demonstrating to the world how naturally brotherhood between East and West can be incarnated in a single community will not be fulfilled unless something like 1 �5 THE FRIEND Record of Progress In another column the story of the emancipation of Hilo Boarding School from debt istold. Every lover of the higher life of Hawaii will rejoice over this achievement. The Friend especially makes merry, congratulates Hilo friends most heartily and trusts that this may be the beginning of great enlargement in the work of this splendid institution. Maui Island, too, is rejoicing. For the same good friend who so generously completed the Hilo School's deliverance has come forward most openhar.dcdly with a gift of $2,200, the purchase price of a fine lot in the very center of Waihiku for our fast-growing Japanese Church and School there. The Sunrise Christiana of the Progressive Island are full of joy and are rallying to the endeavor to collect $4,000 for the new meeting-house and parsonage. Thus month by month this year is justifying its motto "That They Go Forward."

Put this promises soon to be solved to the satisfaction of all. If some good friend should come to the rescue with a pledge of $50,000 provided $250,000 extra should be promised within, say, a year, this greatest of the Board's endeavors would be well established. Meantime in Kauai the Chinese under the energetic lead of Evangelist Yee Kui have, with the aid of a generous contribution of $50 from Mr. Aubrey Robinson, raised the $300 necessary to secure a parsonage at Waimea. Meantime from Kona a letter comes reporting very substantial advance towards the payment of the debt resting upon Holualoa parsonage. A gift of $50 for this object came from Massachusetts, the donor writing significantly to Mrs. R. P. Baker: "Yesterday evening I read in the January American Missionary Dr. Baker's letter and am glad to send to the treasurer of the A. M.

PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS. The large number of members of the Board privileged to be present at the regular meeting on February) i will not forget the moment when President Jones, calling upon Mr. W. W. Hall to take the chair, announced the decision of Mrs. Jones and himself to present the Board with a fine stone building close to the very business center of Honolulu for a future headquarters and official home. Much of what he said was of a personal nature and gave one more evidence of his dee]) affection for the work to which he has given so much time, thought and money these many years. President Jones was elected a member of the Hawaiian Board June 9, 1871, and has been subsequently chosen without intermission whenever his term of service has expired. On the resignation of President Henry Waterhouse, Mr. Tones was unanimously elected his successor, November, 1903. It is safe to say that no other presiding officer of the Hoard has seen such a large development of the work as Mr. Jones has been privileged to witness and t 1 stimulate. During his administration a new era of cooperation with the Mainland Churches has opened and the consequent growth, has been beyond expectation. This expansion has been accompanied by a (corresponding enlargement in our business department, demanding more room. When the Hoard moved into the spacious apartments in the Progress Block it seemed as though all the needed growth could be accommodated for some years. But the purchase of this building by the Japanese Government set us adrift, and at this opportune moment Mr. and Mrs. Jones came forward with their generous gift. The new permanent home of the Board is a two-story building on the northeast corner of Alakea and Merchant streets. The entire second floor will be utilized for offices and book rooms. Here will also be the meeting room of the Board. The ground Anonymous Contributors floor will be used partly for storage partly for rental.

Jones had ended his remarks conveying the gift, a number of members voiced the deep gratitude o ( all present and a committee of seven was appointed to frame an expression of the thanks of the Board for this noble donation. The letter of this committee follows: February 20, Hon. and Mrs. l'eter Cushman 1907. Jones, Honolulu, T. If. Honored and Dear Friends:—At its recent meeting on February first the announcement of your very generous and most timely gift of the business block on the corner of Alakea and Merchant streets, to serve as an offirutl home for work of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, deeply moved the members present, and in thankfully accepting this notable contribution it was voted that we the undersigned present to you in the name of the Board an expression of its gratitude. So far as its meeting place is concerned, the Board has for many years led a wandering life. You doubtless recall the days of its youth when its first home was the Old Bindery on King street, whence it moved to the Mission Depository near Kawaiahao Church, and then after many years shifted its habitat to the little frame building which until recently stood upon the lot on Beretania avenue close to the home of Secretary O. P. Emerson. The latter proving too far from the business center of town, the Board for a short time met over the Henry Waterhouse Trust Company, on the corner of Merchant and Fort streets. Thereafter two offices were in turn occupied on the fourth floor of the Boston Building, and now during a brief two months we have sojourned in the Progress Block. Driven hence, it was anticipated that it would be no easy task to secure permanent quarters, when, to our great relief and joy, your kindness vouchsafed a commodious, substantial home, close to the center of HonoWe feel as lulu's financial life. though, like Noah's dove, we had reached a haven of rest where we may abide in our future labors.

The characteristic thoughtful manner you have provided the satisfaction of one of the pressing wants of the Board. In this connection it may interest you to note that not a few of our needs recorded upon page 9 of the last Annual Report, and entitled "Incentives to Prayer," have already been supplied. The debt of Makiki Japanese Church has been paid. The incumbrance resting upon Hilo Boarding School has been removed through the generosity of Mr. George N. Wilcox. Mr. Charles M. Cooke has provided a Missionary Memorial and you have given the Headquarters. The special need embodied in the item for the Chinese Hospital is on the road to adequate fulfilment. The closed kindergarten in Hilo is in very process of reopening. If we continue instant in prayer our Father will grant us all the desires of our heart for the enlargement of His work in these Islands. We therefore thank you for your loving thought of the Board, not only as expressed in this generous provision, but as made evident through many years of faithful service, arffl of open-handed benefaction. You have given yourselves, which is of more lasting value than any material donation, and we wish you to know that we appreciate the anxieties, the petitions at the throne of Grace, the many patient hours of attention to details and the abundant love so unselfishly dedicated to the work of the Board. That you may be spared to cooperate in the many enterprises wherein God has called the Board to labor, and may have cause to rejoice year by year in fresh triumphs of the divine Power and in the steady growth of His Kingdom here in these Islands and throughout the world, is our earnest petition.

This trait is as marked in the "Yankee of the Fast" as in his New England brother. It is doubtful whether any other race immigrating into America can show in the first generation a larger percentage of men who have risen from the poorest estate to large competence than is true of the Japanese of these Islands. A great, generous, over-prosperous giant like the United States ought to be ashamed of itself legislating against such a people. The whole principle of special exclusions is a false one. That our nation should guard against undesirable immigrants is granted by all patriots, but there, is no such thing as racial undcsirability. The undesirableness of evil character or of menace through disease is the only one that can withstand the scrutiny of Christian D. S. principle. ATRANSITIONAL PERIOD IN THEOLOGY. The Twentieth Century, like the last one, has opened as a time of storm and stress. Conspicuous among other features of disturbance, physical, political and social, is this one of serious agitation in the religious world in respect to doctrinal belief, especially among the evangelical churches. The old rallying standards of such belief, notably the doctrinal forms of the Westminster Cathecism, have long been growing unsatisfactory and untenable in the clearer light of the Scriptures. In the efforts to formulate better expressions of belief, great conTendencies have flicts have arisen. appeared of extreme departures from accepted teachings, as well as from clear statements of our Lord and His Apostles. Altogether, it is a time of painful unsettlement and conflict. But we wish to urge that this is also especially a time for the patient exercise of calm courage, of faith in God, of wise forebearancc, of loyalty to the Lord Jesus. It is not a time for bitter and agitating controversy, nor yet for careless swinging away from moorings, and, above all, no time for relaxing prayer or labor or faith. In every night of storm is needed the calm and brave mind, trusting in God, who rules the tempest. There can be no doubt that in due time the Lord will bring His beloved people into clearer and more restful comprehension of His truth, as well as into greater unity and harmony of action, such as has hitherto been sadly by needless controversies. This time of general doctrinal confession and unrest may prove to have been the needed agency and discipline required to bring Christians into harmony and unity. While awaiting clearer light respecting doctrinal beliefs, all earnest followers of Christ are peculiarly called upon to do 11is work in His spirit. His shining example is not one of the things that are obscure. That holy and loving life at least is conspicuously before us. Every Christian must feel called upon to follow his Lord and Master in His work of love and selfsacrifice. The world is full of sorrow, of suffering and of sin. Those evils were never so accessible to us as now, and never so clamoring for our efforts to relieve them. And never was there so much organization of benevolent agencies for relieving and uplifting darkened and suffering mankind. It will be by following our Lord in His life of loving service that we, His people, shall emerge into the full light of His truth. There seems to be no doubt that the largest element of deficiency in the Old Theologies was their failure to recogni/.e the pervading prevalence and power of the Divine Lord. That deficiency has at last come to be keenly felt, and, more than anything else, causes the present dissatisfaction and sense of need for change in statements if belief. The Westminster Catechism in its much-vaunted definition of God does not use the word Love. Nor does it anywhere make that central quality of His character conspicuous. It is His Holiness, Wisdom and Justice that are emphasized. But the churches have learned to recognize His Love, especially as revealed in Jesus, and to understand the need of a warm and great passion of Love in dealing with the sinful and fallen and suffering. It then must be by an ardent and active exercise of this Christlike temper and spirit that His churches will emerge into clearer light and escape from their present perplexities and divisions. Not hot and bitter controversy will bring relief and rest, but united and unselfish Christlike labors of love to remove social evils and crimes, and causes of degradation, to uplift the depressed, and enlighten the ignorant, and to do for the whole world those things which Christ has given His people to do. In such diligent, active and loving work will the Churches of Christ gradually emerge into full and united understanding of His spiritual truths. S. E. B. impeded CAUSES OF CHINA'S FAMINE. So much has been told of China's famme that a brief review of the causes of this great calamity may be of interest. The first and immediate cause of the distress in Central China is the extensive flooding of the land, brought about by unusual heavy rains. All over the country, among the lowlying villages and towns, are found innumerable canals and waterways. Not only did the rains occasion a great local rise of these many streams, but also an immense; amount of water came down from the northern province of Shantung. At the same time the great lakes of the province of Kiangsu rose to an alarming extent, sending floods over the nearby districts. The Grand Canal receives its waters from these lakes,, and it is said that one frightened Chinese official, to save his own neighborhood, opened the sluicegates at the lake and so sent a vast stream of water southward, which added to the already large flood. Many of the houses are made of mud bricks, dried in the sun. These soon melted before the flood. The fields ready for the second crop were soon covered so deeply with water that no planting could be done. Even much of the wheat already gathered from the first crop of the year was ruined Low-lying Country. Near the City of Huaiau is an extensive plain, 30 miles long by about 15 miles wide. Two crops are generally planted here each year. Much of the first crop, just ready to be garnered, was destroyed by the onrushing waters before it could be saved. And nothing could be done towards planting a second crop. Now the cattle which would be needed for the next year's plowing have had to be sold, for almost nothing, to secure food. Many families have sold their all, including the children, and now are facing starvation and death. The entire plain west of the Grand Canal, 200 miles long and 100 miles wide, has been entirely covered with water, and most of the wHeat, under this vast bodyj of water, have become rotten and useless. Many fields have now been covered from one to two months with water. The same story of flood, and fields and villages covered with water, comes from many places. The entire country for many miles around the great hsien or "city" of Antung (with a population of 800,000) is all under water. Here on �8 THE FRIEND the old bed of the Yellow River, just under the city walls, is the great embankment, built to keep back the waters of the river in flood times. Along its top runs the main highway through the country. In a distance of fifteen miles six large washouts can now be seen. Official Corruption. Why are not these dykes repaired? The officials say they have no money to spend for such works. That is why roads are not repaired and the dredging is not done in the Grand Canal. And so the great works built in former years are left to go to ruin because of the corruption and inefficiency of the government of the present day. The people starve and die because the Mandarin is usually looking out for his own pocket, and is no sufticient salary, little can be expected of administration reform, and the public good may be expected to be only a secondary consideration, from their point of view. Few Railroads. The lack of railroads is another important reason why a great famine becomes possible in China. When food supplies are short in one district, prices rise so quickly that the poor are forced to sell everything they, have, at ruinous rates, to get enough to eat. Soon they have nothing, and when food at last is brought from a distance they have absolutely no money to buy, and must starve or be assisted by charity. The few raiiroads in China, the bad public roads, the inferior methods of transportation, all make the distribu- are most industrious and constant in the cultivation of their fields and gardens. Far up on the sides of the hills, terrace upon terrace of cultivated land can be seen. But the numbers of people living in the country are so enormous that a failure of six months to secure a return from the land must lead to great want. China's cities are like great swarming ant-hills, the full of moving, busy, industri- streets ous, working multitudes. Passing in and out at every gate, from early morn until dark, a constant, almost endless stream of these toiling millions can daily be seen. Most of them are poor men, hard workers, earing just enough to give them food; and yet there arc men, like those of any other land, with their little homes, their wives and children, their loves and hates, desires and aspirations, men who wish to live and seek for something out of life. Their lives are valattble, for these countless multitudes are, in (iod's providence, some day to be changed, uplifted, and form a better, higher, happier China. E. W. T. MAUI MOVING ON. COUNTRY VILLAGE NOW UNDER longer "the father of his people." This lack of public spirit and maladminstration on the part of so many of the officials, is one great cause which makes possible such terrible conditions as are found in China today. Very often the official position is bought, with no real salary allowed. The ruling Mandarin, witli the prospect of a change to another post in a few years, in many eases takes little interest in the welfare of his people or the condition of •public works; his chief aim is to sec how much money he can secure during his time of office.

The people are so thickly settled in the central provinces of China that every available part of the land is needed to produce enough food for the inhabitants. Very little of the country is allowed to go uncultivated, except that used for the cities, the houses in the villages and the graveyards, so important to the Chinese. The people A year and three months have passed since the long-closed doors of the Wailuku Union Church were opened for services. The Church had been practically dead for several years.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. President—¥.. B. Tuknkr. [£ fj '-j"™' Vice-PresidentsAVc. Secretary—E. K. Liukai.ani. Treasurer—G. P. Castle. Opportunities for improving the Sunday schools of Hawaii arc so plentiful that one is bewildered as to where to begin first. It is one thing for the Executive Committee to plan work and another thing for them to do it. It can not be that our Association is not sufficiently organized. With our Departmental Secretaries to make suggestions after studying their different fields, and with our Corresponding Secretaries to project these suggestions into every Sunday school in the Islands, of whatever race or color, much ought to be accomplished. To be sure, we are all busy people and have much to occupy our time and thought. But this work of bettering the Sunday schools is the King's business, and if we do not do it, it will not be done. Organized Sunday School Work. It is well to keep in mind just what the organized Sunday school work proposes to do. The prime conception in the plan of organization is the recognition of the different departments in the work and the appointment of leaders and committees, who will make these particular departments the subject of prayer, thought and work. The following departments arc being worked to great advantage in every State in the Union: I. Primary-Junior, or Elementary. Some of the benefits this department desires to accomplish are: A Cradle Poll in each school. The pupils under thirteen grouped into three departments, the beginners three to six, the primary six to nine, the junior nine to thirteen. A separate room or screens for each of the three departments. Supplemental lessons taught. Each teacher studying some training course. Corresponding Secretaries. English— Miss Edith Perkins.

Pearcc, superintendent of training classes in Honolulu and at least one in each of the outlying districts and towns. With the system of examination and graduation with diplomas, used by the International Association, a great incentive should be given to this work. Everyone recognizes the value and necessity of welltrained teachers. It is the greatest factor in efficient Sunday school work. Dr. Hulburt's normal course is one of the best. 3. Home Department. The Sunday school should be carried into every home. There arc many who do not and can not attend the school session. This requires energetic Home Department superintendents and visitors who will secure new members and keep in prayerful touch with the old. There are immense possibilities for good connected with this line of work. Through its agency thousands have been reclaimed to the Christian life and the family altar set up in the home. Now the whole family is studying the Bible lesson, whereas before only the small boy enjoyed this privilege. Several of our Island schools are working this department, though there should be many more. 4. The Adult Department. Does it not seem a travesty upon the Christian religion that we should carefully nurture and train our boys and girls in Scripture truths from the time they are three years old until they are eighteen, and then see them quietly slip out of our hands and away from all Church influences, into the indifference of a worldly life?

The most successful features of well-tried Bible classes, such as the Baraca, Philathea, Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, the Yokefellows and others, will be taken and a widespread effort made to organize and promote adult Bible classes in all Sunday schools. 5. Temperance Department. The work of this department is to aid in the teaching of those special Bible truths which "'shall educate the children for total abstinence and for the destruction of the liquor traffic." There are four temperance lessons during this next year—one each quarter. By thoughtful preparation and cooperation these lessons can be made the most attractive and helpful of the year. [Tie temperance lesson of the second quarter is to be used as Anti-Cigarette Day, when the evils and dangers of the cigarette habit shall be taught. Pledgesigning is recommended. The work of this department can be benefited through the employment of such special methods as pledge-signing (much of the oldtime prejudice against pledgesigning is being removed, by having pledges signed which are to be binding only for one year); temperance book? in Sunday school libraries; distribution of up-to-date temperance literature and the holding of temperance rallies. 6. Missionary Department. The missionary spirit must be developed in the Sunday school of today or both the Home and Foreign Missions of tomorrow are doomed. Our Sunday school leaders recognize this fact and in another year there will be one missionary lesson each quarter. �THE FRIEND 10 All .over the United States schools having their ow.n missionary or station. In many places native mission* tries can be supported on $25 a year. This is within the reach of almost any school. Denominational boards are only too eager to cooperate with schools in supplying them with native workers. Miss Martha B. IFxson has just written a remarkably suggestive bookon "Missions in the Sunday School." It is an inspiring manual of methods. With these six departments of work-, vitally affecting the spiritual lives of the boyi of the present rind of the men of the future, possible in every Sunday school in the Islands, what giant strides of progress might be made? Until we can have a superintendent giving much or all of his time to the work of the organized Sunday schools of the Islands, let everyone lend a hand in volunteer service. Annual Convention. Now that the date has been set for our Annual Convention —May 25-June 3 —it was hciped that we might have the presence of a Sunday school expert from the mainland. Unfortunately, the World's Fifth Sunday School Convention will be held in Rome, May 18th to 23rd, and nearly all of the international workers will be there. It would have been a great incentive to belter work here if the Islands could have been represented in this gathering. Very cordial invitations were sent by the Executive Committee of this convention, asking that such a representation be made. Alas, the lack of money and of time forbade the acceptance of the invitation. For this trip two large steamers have been chartered. Stops will be made, en route to Rome, at The Azores, Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Pompeii, Genoa and Pisa. Many of the leading Christian workers in America and in England will be present and there will be twenty-eight days of unbroken fellowship on the steamer with many inspiring people. A side trip could easily be taken to the Holy Land, after the convention. The experience of such a trip would certainly add years to any man's life. E. B. T. tire TIDINGS FROM KAUAI.

Among the many kind thoughts which last Christmas brought happiness to dwellers on this green earth, none perhaps carried more joy than did a small slip of blue paper. It contained very few words. But it had an air about it that brought cheer with its every crisp crinkle. Three lines told the whole story and those three lines were, "Three thousand dollars, to the Hilo Boarding School," and at the bottom of the slip the all-important signature which converted the simple paper into pure gold was "George N. Wilcox." This paper meant the possibility of wiping out the debt on the schooi building. It meant that the racking worry was now relieved. With the good news of this happy Christmas comes the wish from some kind friends of the school for a few items on the history of the building. In the Christmas holidays of 19x13 the old school house was removed to the rear of its former site to make way for a new building. But the finances of the country tightened about this time, and for the next two years the school assembled in this old building now under the mango trees, while the site cleared for the much-needed new structure lay bare. It was not till April 17th, 1905, that the first load of lumber for the new structure was brought upon the ground*. From this day the work progressed rapidly. The carpenters began the work with a contract signed to build only the main part of the house and one wing. There were not funds in sight for a complete building, hence the north wing was to wait for better times. One month later the trustees of the school met to discuss the matter and it was decided to go on with the complete plan. On the sth day of May work on the foundation was begun. It was on the .24th of May that the school boys themselves desired to add their mite to the new schoolhouse in labor, as they could not do it with money. Enthusiasm grew so hot that it was deemed best to carry on this work by classes, in order that the schoolroom routine be not too greatly disarranged. Each class volunteered three days per week to the good work. And they did work as only 1 lawaiian can when the heart and soul are in it. The new arrangement of the building had necessitated a change of driveways. The boys undertook to make these driveways. The stone had to be dug and carted from the quarries on the Kaitmana road, and then crushed. While some boys took this for thc;r work, the others were constructing the roadbed or spreading the crushed rock. In this way about 400 feet of roadwaywas constructed, and 40 feet of culverts were walled in. Two other boys undertook the difficult task of digging and walling up a cesspool. Two carpenter boys offered to make a koa table for the new assembly hall, and another boy offered his services to polish it. Little fellows who could not get possession of a wheelbarrow went to the taro fields to keep the food growing while the big boys placed their muscle at the service of the new work. Other boys were tearing down the old dining-hall, as the lumber was to be used in the construction of the new cook-house. Still others were busy laying the foundation for the cement floor in the new dining-hall and in the lavatory. All this was begun and a large part of it was finished by the happy boys as their gift to the new building. As the term neared its close the regular classes went on as usual prepar- ing for the closing examinations and the graduating exercises. With the close of school came an opportunity for the boys to again spend their strength on the good work. Such boys as could be profitably used were hired through the vacation weeks to go on with the work on the basement floor. The hired carpenters were still busy with the house proper. Before vacation closed there was much to speak for their faithful ser- �11 THE FRIEND vice. A new cook-house was completed, containing a kitchen, servingroom and food closets. This was a separate building connected with the dining-hall by a covered veranda. I might add that a large stone and iron range was constructed by the boys likewise. The dining-hall was finished, so was the lavatory, the dispensary and two new rooms for the polishing department. At the same time they completed the plumbing and laying 9,448 square feet of coment flooring. In the first week of September of 1905 the carpenters turned the keys of the new Hilo Boarding School building over to the Principal. The old desks had been cleaned and varnished. Nothing new was bought for furnishing. There was no money to buy anything new. And we were happy to find that sandpaper and varnish had done good work. That is, it was good as far is it went, but alas, it did not go far enough. Each room had just a few desks less than were absolutely needed, and two rooms were left without anything. But there were old tables that were not good enough for the new dining-hall. Could we, would we, dare put those old things up in the pretty schoolrooms? We did dare, and they are there still. And now, with the debt paid off, we shall hope next to work for furniture. And it does not look so hopeless. So much has come to aid us in this work, and we are able to save a little each month from our own workshops, we are sure that we shall in time see our rooms all furnished with all necesMRS. L. C.

My sick son accompanied me, with the hope that his disease might turn to a favorable condition by the change of climate, also wishing to remove the danger of infection to the children under our care. It was my first vacation after twelve years of work in Honolulu. During the three months of my absence, the school was left entirely to the charge of Mrs. Okumura. On my return, it was a great pleasure to find every wheel turning smoothly. The children, understanding that my hasty trip to Japan was not for my own pleasure, but was partly for their welfare, behaved especially well, and were absolutely obedient to Mrs. Okumura. We feel very grateful for the love and sympathy of these children, and are thankful for the favorable test given to our school. The property on Punchbowl street, used by the school for three .years, was sold. In August, 1906, we moved to a temporary residence on Beretania street. This locality seemed to be unhealthy ten children left on account of ailments and there was a lack of recitation rooms. We are glad that the Hawaiian Board have arranged to move us to a better locality. We hope the coming year will find the school more prosperous. Notwithstanding our effort of exercising the strictest economy, we have more or less deficits. This is accounted for by the fact that the sum paid by each boarder is small, also that the school supports eight children free of charge, some of whom are orphans, while others have only a mother who is unable to render financial aid. We thank our generous, kindhearted friends who have assisted by liberal donations for this work and we hope they will see the fruit from their offerings. : 111. TlTl'S AND FIDET-IA C. COAN. It is not easy to select anything in regard to Titus and Fidelia Coan suitable for this occasion that has not already been in print. These are disjointed memories. Shall we call them "Jottings?" A childhood memory is of my father's faithful daily afternoon visits among his tlock: also the swarms of people who came to see him. In the mornings he busied himself in bis study, hut he never refused a caller, nor looked ruffled at any interruption. I never saw or heard either parent betray any sign of impatience, nor speak in unfavorable criticism of grown people before children. / thought grown people were perfect I During the early days, the untutored Hawaiians were in the habit of coming freely uninvited to any and every room in a house.

One time in Puna, where .. �THE FRIEND 12 fresh water was often scarce, he told his host that he might boil the sea-water 10 cook the eggs in. When the meal was prepared, behold the eggs all broken and stirred into the ocean brine! Scattered through Hilo town and vicinity are the small churches built in t he later 50's or early 60's, for the Sunday afternoon "apana" meetings and Sunday Schools. These same services had already been carried on for many years under the direction of different deacons, or "iunas." Six or more of the buildings still stand in the old spots. These four o'clock services my father visited in turn after the morning Sunday School, two preaching services and the noon lima meeting between them. Father Coan for many years made every babe he baptized who was eligible for "Cousin-ship a life member of this Mission Children's Society. He was a man of marvelous spiritual devotion and mental as well as physical stamina, "striving to do the right as God gave him to see the right." From 1838 to 1846 Mrs. Coan carried on a quiet, simple little boarding school for girls, not more than twenty at a time, in a thatched building in our yard. The people built it—the Hawaiians did such things with cheerful generosity. The beds were in the Hawaiian style and curtained off by mats in little alcoves. The parents brought food for their daughters, and otherwise helped to supply their needs. No aid was asked from the American Board. Sometimes a missionary box arrived around Cape Florn—"common-stock" great excitement among the Lyman, Coan and Wilcox children as to the division! Bonnets, skirts, and aprons could not go to those boy families, nor to the Boys' Boarding School; they stayed with us, and the Coan little girls had much fun "trying on" up garret before they were given to the school girls. Some garments occasionally fell to our share, too. My mother's teaching was of the most practical and simple sort. She aimed to train the girls to be discreet, industrious, orderly honiekeepers. And in the generation now nearly passed away, any traveler across country, noticing the neatest home (grass houses they were), the most civilized appearing household, the most modest interior arrangements, the prettiest garden, would be told, "That is the home of one of Coana Wahine's girls." Mrs. Coan's family cares and delicate health prevented her going on more than eight years with the school, but everywhere and always her quiet, gentle, refining influence impressed itself and bless- — Ed the women and helped mould their lives. Her memory is blessed. Two saints lay one day in 1872, awaiting the heavenly call: one, old Kaliloa, the other Fidelia Coan. The former heard the call first; her parting words asked about the other one. "Tell her we shall soon meet in the home-lani," she said. That same day they did, indeed meet. Their earthly resting places lie near together, the first two on the green hill slope that is named "Homelani'' from that day. Harriet Coan. IV. ClIARLES H. AND I.UCY T. WeTMORE. On a May day, in 1849, arrived in Hilo from "around the Cape" (via Honolulu) a tall, blue-eyed young man, with a wee little wife who could almost stand under his arm. This was the doctor for the outstation village, which had never yet had a doctor, and in which the early missionaries had formerly dealt out "by the book" the salts, sulphur, castor oil, and used the forceps at the teeth, and the lancet at the vein. The bride and groom took the house built by Father Lyman, vacant then, that had echoed with the romps of Wilcoxes and Parises, and would echo again with the voices of children and grandchildren. It was close neighbor to the Coans, whose young brood at once claimed friendship through the fence and cross-cut over the veranda, where the doctor was very likely to be waiting in ambush for a pounce upon the little friends, and a merry frolic. For oh, joy! he loved children, and found leisure for them. His kind face and smiling eyes beamed on them to his old age: and often has he been seen, beyond his seventieth year, in high frolic with his grandsons, dashing through passages and even under tables, to escape "the sudden rush from the stairway, the sudden raid from the hall." Of course, they were malihinis when they came here, and it was fun to the young fry to watch the initiation to the place, the people, the language. But the very funniest thing of all was that the little lady was afraid of spiders! She— why she was even detected by open-eyed children on their knees at prayers herself open-eyed on her knees, cringing away from one that was running across the floor to clamber up her gown! Spiders just loved to chase her. Presently the attraction of the house was the babies and their pretty ways and dainty clothes. All hand sewing then— not till years afterwards did sewing machines come, and then this young mother had the first one in Hilo. The babies grew up. The only son, a manly, helpful lad, died at about thirteen, the three daughters are living—one in the old home. The house was altered, enlarged and improved, from time to time, so that it now hardly seems the same place. But the "cubby holes" under the roof remain, such as are probably to be found in any story-and-a-half house. Perhaps, long, dark, mysterious, into which a child creeps with a thrill, and wonders when he shall ever again find daylight. Nc doubt in this day, trunks and household lumber occupy the spaces once allotted to coffee and pia bags, stores of Hawaiian curios, anil a collection of beautiful Micronesian corals and shells. These came in later years when the doctor or himself went in 1885 with a daughter as a delegate from Hawaii to Micronesia, and have now found places in cabinets, etc. Mrs. Wetmore in early years was slight and in delicate health, but she was ever strong in every good work. In her parlor she gathered a little singing schoo'; in another room taught for several years a small school of part-Hawaiian children. Only two years ago, one or two of those bright girls, now grown old, looked in with affectionate remembrance upon the little room where "Kauka wahine" helped them towards the usefulness and honor that have marked their adult years. Dr. Wetmore was an ardent admirer of natural beauty, and even in latest years a student in some branch or other of THE GROWING FAMILY NEEDS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA The cost hitherto lias been so peal that although CHILDREN ARK FOREVER WANTING to consult one _1 llieir School work, leu can afford a set.

Wells an excellent literary and educational study is zealously undertaken. "The Parly Days of French History" is the subject for the next few months. The Churches of the Maui Association have been generous in their gifts to missions this past month. Over one hundred dollars have been paid the agent to divide between the American and Hawaiian Boards. Churches that have made no contribution foi years have at the last Christinas season given generously for the extension of the Kingdom in Hawaii and the world. In the last few months the Hawaiians in the region of Haiku, under the leadership of Rev. Isaac D. laea, have moved their Church building from Hauku to Pattwela, at a cost of about $400. Offers of financial aid from large givers have been repeatedly refused by the pastor and his Church until the members themselves sball have raised as much as possible. The Maui Aid Association issued ten subscription papers, the money from which is paid the agent who settles the accounts of the Church. This some what novel arrangement of the sub■ scription papers seems to please both Hawaiians and English-speaking people, for every subscription paper is quickly filled. Every few weeks these papers arc returned to the Treasurer of the Maui Aid Association with the whole amount of the cash that has been collected. The papers are then checked up, and receipts sent through the mail for amounts of one dollar and over upon postal cards printed for the purpose. This system trebles the amounts that were previously given on subscription papers. The lluclo Church recently voted to deed its properly to the Hawaiian Board, with the immediate result that a friend of the Church gave $150 toward the repair of the building, which was added to a neat sum the Church had already collected. The Chinese Parsonage in Wailukti was completed last month, costing about $650, nearly all of which was There raised by the Chinese of is now a debt of about fifty dollars, which we hope some friend of our Chinese work will raise for us. The debt to Rev. John Nua of Wailukti Native Church, amounting to almost $400, has been largely raised, and the building of the Sunday schoolroom for the Church nearly paid for. This extra room will greatly facilitate the carrying on of a lareer native Sunday school in this Hawaiian center. The repairs of the historic Pookela Church, so dear to many former students of the present Maunaolu Seminary, and so closely associated with the life and work of the splendid missionary family, the Greens, are now begun in earnest. The Board, to which this property was deeded about a year ago, departed from its usual custom of not aiding Hawaiian and Union churches in their repair, and gave a handsome sum for this old Church. The action of the Poard was based upon two facts: the scattered membership of the Church and the historical associations of the old building, which was fast tumbling to ruins. Maui's generous giver offered his help, and the handful of attendants at the old Church have received new courage for their task of keeping up the services. Pastor Santos has bravely faced the situation and is doing his best to gather together the scattered members of his flock. At the monthly ministers' meeting, Rev. P. Y. Bazata has begun a very valuable course of lectures upon the subject. "How We Got Our Bible." Such advanced studies the Maui ministers greatly enjoy. R. R. D. Wailuku.

She was one of those quiet forces to which in vision Jesus alluded when He said "the kingdom of heaven cometh not with observation." Hawaii is rich in having held this life so long. For she had many of the qualities which Jesus predicted <>f the men of the New ( Irdor. During all the years of its existence the Hawaiian iioard has had no firmer friend. Again and again when some far-reaching measure baited for lack of funds, a quiet message has reached the rooms, and with a "Thank Cod" the An new movement has been pushed. old Hebrew poet in singing the praises of the Ideal Mother chanted, "Her children rise up, and call her blessed." It is the picture of the power which the rare woman has of so impressing her nobility upon her children that the loftiness of their own lives shall best speak out her virtues. Mrs. Castle was a mother of this type, and Honolulu today is experiencing the blessing of being the home of sons and daughters whose public spirit, unselfish service and generous giving form the kind of a benediction dearest to the heart of this sainted woman. Toward Another Goal. Our last annual report "That They Go Forward" devoted its ninth page to making its wants known. A number of these have been quietly supplied in a manner not only to evoke the deepest gratitude, but also to astonish us with its rebuke to lack of faith. Among these "Incitements to Prayer" were two items asking for $250,000 endowment for the Mid-Pacific Institute and $100,000 for the erection of dormitories. The former of these is still out of sight, but Mrs. S. C. Allen has given $5,000 towards the school site and Mrs. J. B. Atherton has contributed $35,000 towards a dormitory for Kawaiahao as a memorial of her husband, late President of the Hawaiian Board. Already plans are being discussed and building operations will soon be under way. Just whence the remaining $65,000 are to come is a conumdrum, but we believe it will be forthcoming in due sea- �4 son. Meantime the story of the future our crowning educational institution is of no little interest. One year ago the Hawaiian Hoard decided to purchase the land of Kapahufu, embracing some 300 acres. It was a princely domain and would have constituted the noblest school site in the Islands. But difficulties over details, coupled with the conviction that the Mid-I'aeific Institute could scarcely hope for funds sufficient to develop all the possibilities of such a commanding location, led to a reconsideration of the decision to secure this property. Every other possible location in and about Honolulu was most patiently canvassed. Finally all were narrowed down to a site in beautiful Manna Valley, adjoining College Hills. Here some 7,~ acres of undulating land suitable for the varied needs of the school, and affording a natural division for the boys and girls departments, were found and promptly purchased by the Board. There is a fine spring of water on the premises, which should yield at least 100,000 gallons per day. The two entrances are but a block from the College Hills electric line. Inspiring views of mountain and sea are commanded from the higher points. The school will have room for its agricultural and dairy features, in addition to ample playgrounds. Through the generous cooperation of the Castle Instate it was possible for the Hoard to acquire this property by cash purchase. The Estate offered to buy the land upon which Kawaiahao now stands in order to add it to the grounds of the Castle Home. This will tend to preserve to all time the integrity of Honolulu's missionary center. The sum derived by the Hoard from this deal, together with the $18,000 realized from the sale last year of the North Pacific Missionary Institute grounds to the Methodist Church and Mrs. Allen's gift, a little mure than covered the purchase price of the new school site. The friends of the Board are singing hallelujah over this large forward step towards the consummation of their plan for a great international Christian institute of learning in the strategic center of the Pacific World site of this The Bosworth Campaign. I.ike its central figure, it was a quiet movement devoid of all advertising outside of a simple postal card invitation sent to one thousand men and the usual press notices.

Representative Rawlins, chairman of this committee, has shown considerable public spirit in expediting business and has merited public approbation therefor. But, unfortunately, he is credited with the determination to let the local option bill sleep until the general liquor law shall have been enacted, when the former will be killed, as it was two years ago, with the cry that the general bill provides for local option. The general bill now in the Senate does repeat the provision in the present law for local petition. Hut this is the very antithesis of local option. Local petition is both a very expensive It is and very impossible measure. thoroughly un-American, as it denies the privilege of testing at the ballotbox the question of liquor selling. The temperance forces should never yield 10 this thoroughly unjust way of shelving the liquor issue. There is a very large public demand throughout the Territory for local option. If a bill to provide for it were to be submitted to popular vote it would undoubtedly be passed. The Legislature ought to face the question fairly and Mr. Rawlins has no right to smother the measure in The Civic Federation at its annual meeting appointed a com mittee of nine to wait upon Mr. Rawlins and endeavor to secure from him a promise to have his committee act on this bill at an early day. committee. Territorial Public Library. Following the suggestion of Governor Carter's message. Representative Hughes introduced into the House a bill to provide for a public library to be known as the Hawaiian Library. The bill calls for the appointment of gives them i Hoard of Trustees and wide powers to create and maintain a public library and to extend its privileges to all persons in the Territory, especially to all pupils in public and private schools. This bill is likely to pass both houses. Simultaneously with this an attempt was made to secure from the House the inclusion in the appropriation bill of an item setting apart $5000 per year for two years for This item was library purposes. thrown out by the House under the general misapprehension that the library would benefit Honolulu alone. Careful enlightenment of opposing members has followed and the present likelihood is that in the Senate the appropriation will be voted and that subsequently the House in conference committee will acquiesce. If this be done the way will be clear to organize �6 a library that shall be a credit to the Territory. Inasmuch as the trustees are given power to fnake agreement with any other Library Board, it is possible that the existing Honolulu Library may be drawn into the scheme.

One of the most effective sessions of the Association was that in which. after reading the report of Paia Foreign Church, he called upon the pastors to ially to the support of Maunaolu. This appeal set the ball rolling, and one after another Messrs. Dodge, Kalino and Scudder took a hand in the sport until the enthusiasm of the pastors over NEW CHURCH AT KAHULUI ject they wish to aid. Of course, all this has stirred the enmity of some who battened on the loose system of other days, but the results evidenced in repaired Churches, promptly-paid salaries, comfortable parsonages, a happier and more effective ministry, are so overwhelming that the few grumblers have no audience. The missionary enthusiasm of the Christians in consequence is rising higher and higher. Maui will probably be entitled to a Corporate Membership in the American Board this year, or the next at the farthest, as a direct result of its determination to have every Church give something annually to foreign missions. Collections to the Hawaiian Board are increasing in equal ratio. The Fndeavor Societies decided at the recent meeting to set apart the last Sunday in April in wdiich to make an offering to the Hawaiian and Amer- consecrated in baptism and the formal builder, Mr. Moody, handed the keys of the completed edifice to Mr. Bald- win, who with brief, appropriate words transferred them to the pastor. Then the audience rose while Mr. Dodge led his people in a beautiful responsive service of dedication, Mr. Bazata offering the consecrating prayer and ail joining in the hymn. The first collection was then taken in the new edifice and was set apart by prayer for the work of the Hawaiian Board. Next followed the sermon by Mr. Scuddcr and the singing of "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," by Miss Ormcrod, with the closing devotions. The occasion was most inspiring from begin- ning to end. The Church building consists of a main audience chamber with connecting Sabbath school and minister's rooms. The Ladies' Auxildedicatory exercises were opened. The �iary of Kahului raised over $700 to provide the seats, pulpit equipment and furniture for the pastor's study. Thus equipped. Air.

PLATCEHOTRIGFNHE MOON—WAS THEPACIFIC IT PICKERING'T OCEAN? S HEORY. (ByB ES. ishop.) It may be remembered that Hawaii was visited in 11,105 by Prof. \Y. 11. Pickering, who has made a specialty of subjects relating to the moon. He recently published an article embodying his observations of Hawaiian volcanoes, comparing them with craters observed in the moon. Now Dr. Pickering has just issued a later pamphlet Upon "The Place of Origin of the Moon." This has especial interest for dwellers in Hawaii, because he assigns the location of the moon's origin to the present area of the Pacific Ocean. He supports• this theory by strong considerations. A plausible case seems to be made out for it. the substance of which it is now sought to present to the Hawaiian public. It may be observed at the outset that we of Hawaii need not apprehend therefrom any imputation of lunatic tendencies, because all the lima element is supposed to have been withdrawn from the Pacific, leaving only what is sane. The opening sentences are as follows: �THE FRIEND. 8 "lii 187(1 Professor George H. Darwin propounded the view that the moon formerly formed a part of the earth. That it was originally much nearer to the earth than it is at present, and is slowly receding from us, was dearly shown by bis equations. After considerable discussion, his conclusions have been accepted by the great majority of astronomers, although many of the geologists do not view them with favor." It is conceived that the fission or disruption of the moon from the earth took place after the planet had condensed to substantially its present solidity and density. In a more expanded condition it would have lacked the high speed of rotation calculated by Darwin, about four hours, and with it lacked the centrifugal force necessary to Ming off the satellite from its pro* tubcrant equatorial region. At that stage of the earth, as now, a solid crust would already have formed upon the surface of the very ellipsoidal globe, while the interior would have been in a viscid or liquid condition, as now. except as solidified by 'I lie temperature of the pressure. crust would have been, though not incandescent, too high for water to rest upon its surface. "The specific gravity of the earth as a whole is 5.0. That of the surface material ranges in general between 2.2 and .2, with an average of 2.7. The specific gravity of the moon is 3.4. This indicates clearly that the moon is composed of material scraped off from the outer surface of the earth, rather than of matter obtained from a considerable depth. At the same time, the specific gravity 3.4 indicates that the layer of material removed bad an appreciable thickness." The matter tiling off as moon therefore included not merely crust, but a very much larger portion taken from considerable depths, where the substance was much heavier. The mass torn off now forming the moon while of vast area on the surface, must have been even hundreds of miles in depth. It is evident that so large a body torn out of the crust and interior of our globe, must have left a very large and noticeable scar, even after the viscid interior had swelled itself up to fill the gap made, and to replace the absent crust, and that new crust being formed fr.im material taken from denser strata, would itself be above the average density of the other portions of the earth's surface. Pickering finds the expected scar the vastly preponderant ocean-area the Pacific, He conceives that now r)r. prior to the disruption of the moon, the present great Inequalities of altitude m the earth's crust did not exist. There were then no vast continual elevations nor immense oceanic depressions, as now. These all were a result of the great catastrophe which tore out a lartje portion of the earth's crust and underlying interior. Hut for this abnormal catastrophe, nearly all of our globe's surface would have been covered by uniform ocean, and the land area have been extremely limited. What the author conceives to have ensued upon the great disruption may be stated somewhat as follows: The moon's mass was torn out of that side of our globe now occupied by the Torrid /one of the Pacific Ocean. To fill and even up the vast gap created, immense drafts were made not only upon the viscid interior, but upon the adiacent portions of the solid crust which floated as it were upon the semi-liquid interior. The largest draft upon the crust was from the eastward. That immense section of crust constituting the present continents of North and South \merica was broken away from the great eastern mass and drawn westward three thousand miles to its present position, leaving the vast depression now occupied by the Atlantic t )cean. In support of this contributory theory of the formation of the Atlantic Ocean, the author furnishes a diagram (Fig. 4) which shows the peculiar correspondence of outline between the borders of the two continents, as if one had separated from the other: notably the correspondence of Cape St. Rogue to the Culf of Guinea. The author also conjectures that large drafts were made from the crust occupying the area of the Indian Ocean, whence came the Australian and the Antarctic continents. An argument of considerable apparent value is drawn from the higher specific gravity found in the Hawaiian mountain bases. The late F. D. Preston reported as follows: "It appears that the lower half of Mauna Kea is of a very much greater density than the upper. The former gives a value of 3.7 and the latter of 2.1." Pickering observes, "The upper half is clearly due to matter, chiefly scoria, which has been expelled from the various vents. The lower half is probably due to the slow uplifting of the former ocean bed." The argument is that the bed of the Pacific is evidently composed of heavier material than the rest of the earth's crust. It must therefore have been of later formation, from the heav- ier substances of the deeper interior. Altogether, this speculation of Prolessor Pickering possesses a high plausibility and, one inclines to believe, a permanent value. It will add interest to students of physical geography. GOSPEL LEAVEN IN CHINA. Rev. !•:. W. Thwing. every hand are reports of reform and progress in China. Current magazines are full of articles telling of great changes taking place in that vast empire. There is talk of Chinas new army, of her young men studying in the universities of Europe and America, of her new railroads and rapidlydeveloping commerce and of the possibilities of her securing new laws and a ()n constitutional government. There is to be a new China, a new Asia a new civilization is pervading the whole Orient. Will this new life and thought that is springing up in Eastern Asia l)i' a blessing to China and to the world, or will it bring strife and bloodshed and sorrow? Only as the roots of this growing reform and new national life are planted deep in truth and righteousness can one look for a future of peace and true prosperity in this land of China. All that is best in the present life and history and experience of the strong nations of the earth today has sprung up and grown out of the teachings of Christianity. So in China, as Christ is known by her people, and His teachings are incorporated into her new life, so she will become strong and powerful and a great and happy nation. And what of the advance of Christianity and the progress of the Gospel in China today? This leaven is at work and spreading everywhere. Since the Boxer uprising of six years ago, in which so many Churches were destroyed and many Christians lost their lives, there has been a wonderful rebuilding. Throughout the land larger Churches and finer mission schools have being going up. Never in th* hundred years of Protestant mission work have there been such great crowds gathering to hear the Gospel preached. Mission stations are now to be found nearly everywhere. I" many parts of China one can hardly travel a day's journey without finding a chapel or a mission school. Speaking of the Can ton province, a recent writer savs "There are Christian chapels and Christian societies to be met with everywhere.

To tell who Jesus Christ is, is not to describe in metaphysical terms His relation to (iod and man, for this is impossible until we have proceeded further in the solution of the unsolved problem of personality, certainly until a man can answer the question, ''who inn I,' in metaphysical terms. \ur can we tell who Jesus Christ is by the applicati fa title, such, for instance, as "the Boa id' oinl." We can do it only by studying the personal consciousness of Jesus and the corroboration His consciousness finds in the effect He has produced upon the life of the world. The principal features in the personal consciousness of Jesus were first a profound interest in men as men because of their tan liiimitiiitii. J'oor people, children, outcasts, crowds made up of ordinary men and women He held for Him a strange fascination. called His disciples, who were for the most pari plain people, His friends—"No longer do 1 call you servants, but I have called you friends." Is there anything in the history of the world since Jesus which stands over against this feature in His personal consciousness as its corroboration1 To ask the question is to answer it. The force of this virile friendliness radiated from Jesus through the ever widening circle of His associates until it has I cited the globe. Today it persists all over the world as one of the great characteristics of modern life as contrasted with that of ancient times. Some sense of this interest in men as men is found even in wide circles outsi.le the t 'hurcli. A seconii characteristic in Jesus' personal consciousness was that tie expected to continue associating with men on earth after He hid passed out of sight. He said that when ever two of them should meet in their friendship for Mini He would make a third. One of His last Cartage was to promise that in all their travels to make Him known to cithers He would le witli them. This seems to have keen the essential element in the resurrection which lie expected, "I go aw;iv. and I come unto you." Such love as He felt for mm would not |crmit Hint to stay away from them. The corroboration of this expectation of Jesus has found one of the characteristic features of the Christian faith. Kver since His resurrection the Christian has believed himself to be in personal association with the founder of his faith. He has found himself "Strong Son of God, Immortal Love, Whom we that have not seen by face Hy faith and faith alone embrace." While Whittier sings— '' towards the Sistine iladonna reveals his artistic nature. If he views that masterpiece with no interest, he is artistically defective, the picture judges him. Wichard Watson (iiliier's Heathen in the Year M A. R, voices the corroboration of this feature of Jesus' consciousness when he exclaims No dead fact stranded on the shore "If Jesus Christ is Of the oblivious years;— Hut warm, sweet, tender even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet; And love its Galilee.

The second feature is His sense of being Sble to express (bid's forgiving love. Men now as weII as in every preceding genera tion since He walked in unliloo. only in ever enlarging numbers, find in coining to Him the peace of forgiveness. A third characteristic is His sense of being able to express Cod's judgment on sin. Both forgiving ami judging involve (a) the power of insight into the soul's life and (b) the power to feel and express God's attitude towards what is seen in the soul. Men find Jesus still judging their deeds, that is, they find themselves asking what Jesus would do i:i their places. His standards of conduct are crowding upon them. A fourth striking feature is His sense of leing able to judge men by their attitude towards Himself since He is a revelation of Cod. No less Impressive is the corroboration of this consciousness. For men recognize today that the test of a man's character is his attitude towards the character of Jesus Christ, not nceeesarly towards the Christ of Theology, but of the Gos'Hs. If he does not find his heart moving out wjfh interest in Him. Lastly, Jesus felt able to bind men into a great world brotherhood of the endless life. And lo! today we find this actually taking place. The great British Christian leader, Dr. Fairbairn, in his "Studies in the Life of JeSUS Christ," has snnimnri/cil the effects produced by Jesus upon the life of the world the corroboration in history jf His consciousness—as follows: "Jesus Christ is the most powerful spiritual force that ever operated for good on and in humanity. He is today what he has been for centuries, an object of reverence and love to the good, the cause of remorse and change, penitence and hope to the bad; of moral strength to the morally weak, of inspiration to the despondent, consolation to the desolate and cheer to the dying. He has created the typical virtues and moral ambitions of civilized man; has been to the benevolent a motive to benevolence, to the selfish a persuasion to self forgetful obedience; and has become the living ideal that has steadied and raised, awed and guided youth, nraced and enobled manhood, mellowed and beautified age. In Him the age* have seen the manifest God, the Fternal living in time, the Infinite within the limits of humanity; and their faith has glorified His mfferings into a sacrifice by the Creator for .... �THE FRIEND. the creature, His death into an atonement for human sin." What shall our attitude be towards this great double fact of personal consciousness and corroboration? 1. It is inconceivable that .lesr.s' personal consciousness should be a fraud; for the pure ethical system and the mighty redemptive force that have come from him forbid th s - supposition. 2. He was not mistaken. To be mistaken in these fundamental points means to be mentally unbalanced. A pure ethical syst -in and a great redemptive force cannot come from such 1 source. 3. He is true and trustworthy, Christ is such a revelation of Goil in terms of human life, struggle, victory, death and resurrection glory as warrants us in yielding to Him the control of our lives. When this is done the personal demonstration is made. We find out in experience who .lesus is. His words, "I will manifest myself unto you" prove themselves in our lives. .lesus is patient with the feeble beginnings of faith. You remember how the brigand on the cross moved by the quiet bearing ot .lesus turned to Him and with a kind oi grim humor said, ".lesus, rcmenil er me when you come into your kingdom." .lesus dc teeted the germ of faith and met the man at once with the pledge, "Today you shall le with me in Paradise." The earnest soul groping in the dark after God makes the deepest demands upon the hoart of Jesus. Patiently He will lead him into the light. 11. HOW JhSI'S TEACHM MEN TO FIND god. The greatest fact in the history of man is the consciousness of .lesus Christ. The fundamental anil ition of .lesus Christ was to stare with men his personal religious experience of the Father. He wished to share his deep peace, his profound joy, his mission and his works with men. It seems as though .lesus came to the laboratory of his own person I experience and urged upon men to seek and find as he did. How to proceed in thus experimenting to find God in one's laboratory .lesus taught with clearness. First Jesus expected men to find the Rather in experience with Himself as His disciples. He said "No man cometh to the Father except through me." There is no arbitrary spirit in this word. It is as though a Swiss guide should happen upon a lost traveler in the Alps and say, "I will lead you." .lesus also urged men to believe in (bid. What is the content of this expression 'believe?' .lesus means by it that a man shall on sufficient evidence take as his working theory of life, that God is a Heavenly Father present with him, ami shall act on this theory. That is what every scientist does in his laboratory work. He takes a theory on suffi cient evidence and puts it to the test by experiment until he builds up an experience of its validity. To believe in God as a Father is to act like a son and thus put the theory of His fatherhood to the test of experiment. Again, .lesus taught men to act as if there were a Heavenly Father by beginning to pray. Fdison says to the student who has as his working hypothesis the theory of (dec trie, force, "Go into the laboratory and try this experiment." Jesus did the same with regard to the theory of the Father: "Enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, and pray." Prayer is no form of words but a reaching out of a man's spirit to the great spirit of the Heavenly Father. Jesus always insisted that if a man be- 11 lieves in God he must obey. For a man to prayer is wanting nothing, but to be with act as a Son, to put the theory of FatherGod. Yet in the teaching of Jesus prayer inhood to the test of experiment means to do what he thinks his Father wishes him to do. cludes asking for good things.

These words of .lesus arc built upon the theory that uod is a Heavenly Father always present with us. They are a voice, "O heart, speak to the heart that made thee." Prayer is an appeal of the heart made to the Great Heart that made it. l'rayer is far more than mere asking for definite things. Prayer is the intercourse of the human spirit with the Great Spirit that made it. We do violence to .lesus when we view prayer as an appeal to God lor specific things, for then we reduce God to a mere convenience.

Some years ago the news was flashed over tl il.lc that two young Englishmen had discovered a fragment of piipyus in Egypt which contained five or six mutilated sentences, purporting to have 1 ecu uttered by .loses and mole or h s< different from any other known word of His. Instantly the attention of the world was feeunsed upon those two scholars and their tiny find, for the unearthing of a new saying of Jesus was of more absorbing interest to mankind than any other international event. Men today are centering their thought and study more and more upon this carpenter of whose words so few were left that one can read them all, I Suppose, in the space of a single hour. Central among them is the address that goes by (he name of the Sermon on the Mount. It is not so much a sermon as a lecture —a lecture on the New Order which Jesus announced He had come to institute. his trade. I'leces ot furniture made wit.i faithful care, houses which lie had built with holiest toil Had suggested to Him many ot His beautiful ideas as He ..ad wrought over them. A third impression wdiicn the student gains is the sense of autnoritative importance wita which Jesus Himself regarded these wolds, bin remember the paragraph which closes the lecture. In His intense moments Jesus was wont to relapse into the language of His trade. He did it at that crisis in His life when He led His disciples to face the question who lie really was, and when Peter moved by a sudden inspiration exclaimed, 'Yon are the Alesiah. the intense in spiritual exaltation of the moment He said, "Ah, Peter, yon have struck led rock at last and on this rock I will builn my Church, do here al the climax of this revolutionary addiess Jesus relapses into the language of His trade and draws |he picture of the rock founded character, the man so convinced ot the vital moment of what Jesus has been saying that he builds his whole life upon it. As lie outlined Hie contrast which He pictured, there may have Bashed before His eye Hie memory of the house which He Himsell ,11 ' a.id builded to for some friend, digging deep the solid rock, and of the fearful storm which had swept away so many frail structures, that lie had wondered how His work had tared until lie found it secure amid the surrounding ruin. The opening verses of this lecture show the kind of iiicn who are to have a place in the New Order. The lirst characteristic is traced by Jesus in ths words "poor in spirit," that is he who in spirit feels like a poor man. The Mohumniedans have one month in the year when from morning until night the faithful be liever takes neither food nor drink. At evening feasting begins. The object is that every man may know how it feels to be poor, to be really hungry and thirsty. The poor in spirit is the man who docs not want special priviand tying leges. The second characterization of the men of the New Order was "mourners." Jesus' sympathy had been deeply stirred by mourners. He Himself had mourned first His father's! death and then that of His relative and close friend, John the Baptiz.er. Everywhere He went He saw mourners, lie was destined to mourn His own life out over the sin of the world. But He wns not a selfish mourner. It is possible to mourn over oneself until all comfort is lost. In the New Order to mourn will be to find comfort from all the men and women of the Order, to awaken to the new conception of the Brotherhood of those wdio mourn, for comforters will be all about us in the New Order. 'I he next trait sketched by Jesus is meekness. Xow the meek man is not the one who underrates himself. Jesus was meek yet He bad a fair estimate of His powers. The meek man is he who wdth a clear estimate of himself holds himself ready to be helpful to other inch. Jesus here says that the selfish man must be eliminated from the world. When the Xew Order comes, the selfish man will be the dark memory of the past. Then Jesus adds that the man of the Xew Order will be hungry and thirsty for char BCter. The Pharisee of His day was hungry His counterpart and thirsty for reputation. of this age thirsts to see his name in the papers. Hut Jesus said that the man who is Hungry and thirty for character is fortunate because he is going to realize his ambition. I.very ideal of character which you honestly long after is a sure prophecy of what mi shall be. Hungry ami thirsty for character in others us well as in oneself. Jesus felt this so keen ly that when lie found character forming in an ignorant woman by a well side, lie was satisfied and forgot to care for food. "Blessed are the merciful." The merciful are people wdio forgive, not those who say, can forgive but I can't forget.'' "Blessed are the pure in heart." When the Rabbi went up to the temple to see God he idealised nis body. Jesus says, "When you go to see <toil the essential thing to do is to clean up not your body but your heart." Three (dements in this cleansing are emphasized by Jesus. To strengthen the sense of God one needs to see whether in his life there are any insincereties, whether he seems to others to be a better man than in his hcarl he knows he is. These must be gotten rid of if he is to have Jesus' consciousness of Gob Then again if you have a grudge put it away. If another's success troubles you, you must gel it out of your heart. Pray for that other until you learn to rejoice ill his success. The third meaning which Jesus had was unclean ness of thought. To these classes Jesus added the "peacemakers." He had in mind those who make peace between themselves and other men. Later on in His lecture He gave a clear picture of His meaning when He drew the scene of the man going into the temple with his gift nnd just before he offered it remembering a friend with whom he was not on terms of peace. Leave your religious duty, your socalled duty to God unfinished and get first in to right relations lo the other man, then go ahead with your worship. Jesus also was thinking of the man who reconciles enemies, who make peace between other men. He calls them Sons of God. God is the great Peace maker and they are like llim. Finally He adds, "Bleased are the pers I cuted, the men who are willing to stand by their convictions regardless of cost. You are ill good company, stand firm and wait for (lie Xew Order." Persons with this sevenfold character form the company of the Blessed Men, says Jesus. They are the salt of the earth, preserving it from decay. These are the Men of the invincible Good Will. Friendly men hold society in its orderly development. One of my students told me about a place in his State, West Virginia, called Troublesome Valley, where all the families were at odds. When "■ . - �THE FRIEND. a person dies in that valley his people have to send for men from some neighboring valley to come and bury him.

Hence He said to the rich young man, "Follow me.'' "Join yourself to me and learn how to use power in kindliness.'' The Church is a company of people who are being trained by Jesus Christ in the friendly use of power, so that when any need Is found one or two may be dispatched t> Ihe point of need lo supply this power.

Over the lives of al ilniloneil men .lesus pronounced magical words of friendship and good will that raised them up to new careers of joy and purity. There is a certain strenuousness in .lesus, n certain sense of peril, of danger to le avoid ed by men whom self rules. What was His message to the selfish ninnf What did .lesus think selfishness to bet Selfishness is the refusal to take account of other men. By unselfishness .lesus docs not mean the ignoring of one's own interests. I'aul phrase. 1 it well when he said that selfish ness is tne refusal to look on the things of the other man; refusal, that is, to take account of the other man. The Xew Testament pictures two natures in every personality. It calls them flesh and spirit. Flesh is the inheritance from the animal past or a bond of connection with the animal present. It is that which says, "What I want I lake. The other half of personality, the spirit, is that which rises up into communion with (bid Browning's words are and other spirits. significant : " Rejoice, we To that which arc allied doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive! A spark disturns our clod: Nearer we hold of (lod Who gives, than of his tribes that take, I must Ii lieve. ' The spirit is the part which we have in common with mid a ml oilier men. Xow selfishness consists ill giving to the flesh the dominance. 11l Sin Francisco a fewweeks after the lire I was told of a young woman who in fleeing from a hotel put on all her jewels as the best way to save them. A man saw her, snid in his heart, "What I want I take," crushed her throat with his hands and took her jewels. Selfishness shows itself in various forms. There is a lazy selfishness which does not regard Others I eeai.se it costs effort. .lesus reI liked such in his paral le, "Thou wicked and slothful servant." There is a cimiinercial selfishness. I met :i business man some month! ago on my travels. We grow confidential while we were together and one day he said: "When you have business dealings with men you must take no account of friendship." Many of us know this is not true of what the I est I usiness is coming to Ie, yet it represents the ideal of commercial selfishness. There is also a selfishness of culture, of the college man who gratifies his intellectual tastes regardless of other men. It is matched by fhe selfishness of the society woman ignorant of the sea of wretchedness that washes up against the back steps of her palatial home. Still another form is the regretful selfishness which was that of tin' lich young man who turnen away sorrowful from .lesus when the Master tobl him to share his wealth with tic poor, lie was full of regret but he turned away. What are the consequences in the personality of the selfish manf We live in an age impatient of words. Men want to know facts. It is no longer possible to scare men with the word hell or to fascinate them with the term heaven. What are the facts back of these expressions! I will read you a passage from the works of a man with an imagination which if turned into the channel of pure literature might have rivclcd Dante: "The God that holds you over the pit of hell much as one holds a spider or sonic loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you and is dreadfully provoked; his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire—you are ten thousand times so a.ominable in his eyes as the most hateful and venomous serpent is in ours. * He will not only hate you, but he will have you in the utmost contempt. No place shall be that fit for you but under his feet to be trodden down in the mud in the streets." We know that Mr. Moody could never have used this language of the man of two ecu luries ago. Over our thought a change has conic which has aliected our mode of speech. We do not think of the poetic statements of doom in the Bible as literal. We lay stress upon the fact thai the only punishment of sin is the consequences of sin. We in this age do not speak of God sending men to hell, but often as sending themselves there. Our inquiry today, however, is, can we from the teaching of Jesus ascertain wdiat seemed to Him to lie the consequences of lite in the personality of the selfish man. To put it in a word, Jesus seems to have regarded the consequences of selfishness to Ie a damaged personality; not a damage put upon the personality from the outside, but one s If caused and from within. "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose himselff lie asks. So of the rich, selfish farmer, "This night thyself shall be required of thee, then whose shall these thing* fcef" The first great consequence in this damaged personality is the pain of loneliness. Sep iration is the dominant idea in Ihe mind of Jesus, "Depart from me," "Into the out r darkness.'' We see how this must be so. Selfishness is the contradict ion of friendship. No true friendship can exist between two selfish persons. If two such unite, siy a man and a woman in marriage, friendship in time vanishes. It would seem that ill many men, in selfish men, the capacity for friendship slowly decays. Paul here has a sentence of vast and solemn moment, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he Unit soweth unto his own flesh shall of the less reap decay." Corruption is the word used, rottenness, decay is the meaning. The capacity to feel interest in another person shall decay. Hence the selfish man conies to be left aioue, condemned by the violated laws of his own being to solitude. Jesus once shrank from this terrible consequence when he faced a great temptation to le selfish, Kxcept a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone." Alone! not separate in space, for i here is no such loneliness as is found in great cities by the friendless. Have you ever visited an insane hospital ward and seen the loneliness of the poor souls who dwell therein! One attendant can care for twenty because they have no power of cooperation. They are alone, but not separated in space. Huch loneliness must le painful because the one great instinctive human dread, is to 1 c alone. It is seen in the child crying alone at night. Through this dread men congregate in cities. And for this reason no punishment man knows is so awful as solitary confine- ' " ment. Vet there are men who wall themselves up stone by stone, day. after day, in a cell of solitary confinement. We do not have to say that God shuts them up, but by the violated laws of their own nature they have separated themselves from God and their brother man. Whittier, whose contributions to theology are, 1 sometimes think, not so fully realized as they deserve, sings: No word of doom may shut thee out, -\o wind of wrath may downward whirl, Xo sword of tire keep waich about The open gates of pearl, A tenderer light than moon or sua, Than song ot earth a sweeter hymn May shine and sound forever on And thou be deaf and dumb. Forever round the mercy scat The guiding lights ot iovc shall burn, But what if, habit-bound, thy feet Shall lack the will to turn! What if thine eye refuse to see, Thine ear of heaven's free welcome And thou a willing captive be, Thyself thine own dark janf fall, O doom beyond the Baddest years, As the long years of God unroll, To make thy dreary selfishness The prison of thy soul! Side by side with this goes the pain of sense of having nothing to .io, no purpose, no goal. For the chief motive for achievement is gone wdien one loses inn rest in persons. when wife and children arc taken a man oiten finds no more incentive to accumulate. Moreover, it is impossible to do anything worth while without the cooperation of other persons. Conceive yourself to le shut entirely away from all connection whatsoever with other persons and you will lind yourself where you can do nothing. So the consciousness of Jesus made llim cry, "Of myself 1 can do nothing. Hones tte reached out after God and His brothers. The decay of this capacity for achievement is pain of the keenest sort. For tiie soul's divinest instincts are first the capacity for friendship and second the ability to achieve. Therefore your child loves to exclaim in triumph, "1 did it myself." After finding Livingstone, when Stanley came out in Cairo, .liinlessness, the ne wrote: "No honor or reward, however great, can be equal to that subtle satisfaction that a man (eels when he can point to his work and say, 'See now the task which I promised you to perform with all loyalty and honesty, with might and main, to the utmost of my ability, and God willing, is today finished. Say i well and truly donef And when the employers shall confess that it is well and truly done, can there be any recompense higher than this to one's inward self I" The great joy of achievement to which Jesus appealed would seem necessarily to die out of the selfish man. Je&us describes such a man in these words, "He walketh in the darkness and knoweth not whither be goeth.' He walks alone with no sense of others left in the darkness—and he has nowhere to go. This is the New Testament picture of the doom of the selfish man. Over against the civilization of brotherly men, over against the career of achievement, stands this selfish man puttering away in his little lonely self-made cell. What is his ultimate condition t Does he become an idiot, insane? Docs his being go outf Is there in the great resources of God some hope for himf Here we cannot dogmatize, we find we easily go beyond our Maker. Hear the words of Tennyson— . — �THE FRIEND.

"O ' The value of the great Christian creeds lies here and here only—to explain an expert euce that it may repeat it ill others' lives. It is a record of what some men have found in their laboratory work, bidding others test Ihe experience for themselves. Any other use of a creed is full of danger. This method expresses the very genius of Christianity, which is to share real values with another. When a Christian comes to you with a personal experience, it is not in argument or to tear down, but to share with you what is best in his life. So Browning —■ i way, our chief, Best way of worship; let me strive To find it and when found contrive My fellows also take their share! This constitutes my earthly care; God's is above it and distinct. For 1 a man with men am linked And not a brute with brutes; no gain That 1 experience must remain "Needs must there be Unshared." Contrive mv fillmrs also take iluir share. There is a feeling abroad, especially among niir college men that a man must not me Idle with another s religion. It is a natural re action due to abuses, but at bottom a man must share the highest values that come into his own experience so far as possible. The brute keeps all for itself. But men must share. With what effectiveness a man's experience becomes helpful when properly shared! A student came once to tell mo an incident in his life. He had been delayed at a small station. While waiting he began to wish that lie could give a report to some one of his experience with God and prayed that he might. He went out on to the platform, fell in with a German wearing the uniform of a band, found that he had had a university training in philosophy and in the course of conversation the topic of religion was reached. A squirrel ran across the park and he talked of design, then the whistle sounded and he reached out his hand with the word, "My brother, I know one thing. God is my heavenly Father, He has forgiven my sins and I have profound satisfaction, for once 1 was without Him." The German took his hand with a man's grip and answered, "I believe there is something in this for you have found it in your experience." The great leaders of this early movement were wont to lay stress on their experience with Jesus. It was so with Peter who headed the Jewish contingent in that early campaign when he reached the point where he coul say, "Thou art the Christ." Jesus exclaimed, "God bless you Simon, flesh and blood never told you that," and lapsing into the language of His trade He added, "This report of inner experience is bedrock and on it I can build." �16 So Paul the great non-Jewish leader, fell he was commissioned to give a report, "Arise and stand upon thy feet; for to this end 1 appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a witness of tin' things wherein thou hast seen me." When the great crisis came in Galatea Paul appealed to his own experience, "It is no longer 1 that live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live iii faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." It is the same with John. Hear him lay emphasis upon this in his first letter, "That which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that uliiei w< beheld, ami our hands handled." 'then again a sentence further on, "And we have seen and bear witness." Still, a third time, "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you." Three times in as many verses. So much for the fundamental importance of this policy. Look at the character of the Christian's report. Its substance is twofold. First I have acted for what is to me a sufficient reason on the supposition that Jesus Christ is alive and I have given Him control of my life. Second—As a consequence of this nc tion I find myself experiencing increasing honesty, enlarging sympathy and deepening peace. The great fundaments of character are involved in this report of personal experience. There is no exaggeration in such a report for it deals with the beginnings of new character —sincerity, sympathy and peace. It is not necessary for a man to report perfection, but only progress. It is not always made in words—that is a matter of temperament. It is a report that breaks forth in character, In action, in life, a character that shall begin to show evidence of a likeness to the character with which it is assumed to be In contact. Thus the dying Baron Bunsen looked up into the face of his wife with the message, "In thy face have I seen the face of the eternal." Browning had this in mind in Saul: "It shall be A Face like my face that receive thee: a Man like to me Thou shult love and be loved by forever; a Hand like this hand Shall throw open the gates of new life to thee: See the Christ stand." Not many weeks ago on a Sabbath evening in Cnlunibus I went to see a friend of my college days, who for five years had served as a pastor, when creeping paralysis came upon him and for nine years his wife had been compelled to put food into his mouth He was able to speak only one word at a time with great difficulty and so faintly that wife or daughter bending over him could just catch the accents. Yet the power of Jesus Christ was so evident in his character and life that he preached to all in his little section of Columbus the message of Christlikeness with far greater influence than ever he did while in his pulpit. What are the results of this policy! All the spiritual forces of the universe often seem so coordinate as to make one public witness produce effects far beyond possible estimation. It is like the explosion of Hell Gate in New York harbor where the labor of hundreds of men and the mighty force of the explosives all waited upon the touch of a little girl's finger upon the electric key to coordinate them into one tremendous effect. Likewise, the forces of the universe seem so TIIK FRIEND. coordinated that when a man begins to give his report tactfully and gracefully, great results are secured. President strong, of Rochester University, once said that while a student at Vale another Student approached him with a remark that involved a personal report of Christian experience. "1 wish you were a Christian" was all ihat was said when the chapel bell rang and hey separated. Young Strong became a ChrisItian in conseipience of that word and both students entered the ministry. Years later they mid and rresident Strong said: "Now 1 have the chance to say wdiat I long have wanted to tell you. I owe all that I am and that 1 have done to you." "How is thatf" "Don't you remember what you slid to me that day at college just before chapelt" "No, I do not." Dr. Strong told him, but he could not recall it. In a large sense all the wonderful influence of Dr. Strong, felt with such power by numbers of young men in his lectuie room, are the results of that one report mane by his classmate. Last spring wdiile in California I heard Dr. Mel.o.m, of Berkeley, tell an experience o! his while in college. Cp to his senior year he was not a Christian. A letter came that made him thin) a little. One day he and a classmate noted for speaking to others al out Christ met. McLean parried the subject again and again whenever it approached. They reached his room and courtesy compelled aim to invite his friend in. More than once the man brought the subject round only to be put off. Finally he put the direct question: "Mac. do you ever think about your soulf" Then they talked. Soon it was remarked in the class that "Mac was serious." "1 have sonii times been inclined to say,' added Dr. McLean, "that if that man hao not spoken to me out of his own experience I should never have been a Christian." If that be true, all the wide results of the great ministry of Dr. McLean in Oakland and elsewhere and his present work as President of the Seminary in Berkeley have flowed out of that talk. The chief satisfactions of the Christian life flow out of the consciousness of being helpful in this manner. Some time since a group of Methodist ministers grouped themselves about one of their leading Bishops and asked what experience gave him the most satisfaction in •ill his ministry. He said that in his first pastorate at a time of special interest he and a parishioner called upon an old man and tried to help him into the Christian life. The final answer was, "I'm too old, but if you can do anything for my son Tom, for Col's sake do it." The young itunister asked his parishioner who Tom was and found that he was a lazy, good for nothing tough, hanging about saloons, ready for anything that might The pastor bring an occasional drink. sought him out at a job cleaning saloon cuspidores. He took the young man home with him, gave him a place to sleep, clothed him decently, went with him to meeting and there the man rose and said he wished he were a Christian. The young minister soon moved and it was years before he revisited the town. He came there as Bishop, was met at the station by this man, taken to the finest house in the place and after grace, as the family sat about the table, the man turned to him Bishop, it's all your work." and said: Never as pastor, college president or bishop had he found such deep satisfaction, he said, as at that moment. Happy experiences attend the beginning of the Christian life, but there is none such deep satisfaction as dwells in the experience of leading another into the friendship of " Jesus. "It is more blessed to give than to receive" does not apply alone or chiefly to money, but to the sharing of our experience of Christ wdth others. "Trebly blessed art thou, my brethren, whose JOyfhl lot it is to stretch thy soul in a soul that is dead as Klisha stretched himself on the dead son of the Shunamite and raise him up breathing and calling upon God." OUR NEW SCHOOL SITE. Eor one, I must express a tfreat satisfaction in the site finally secured for our much desired .Mid-Pacific Institute. It is not so conspicuous as the lofty Kapahulu location, so long struggled for, but if more lowly, to my mind far more desirable. I believe that it wholly excels any other possible location, both in climate and in accessibility. The climate of this lower Manoa Valley is an ideal one. For over four years we have been residing on the "College Hills" tract, only a few rods from the new school site, and have found the climate ideal.

' * 3 No. 5 Territory will be entitled to send to the National Council one ministerial and one lay delegate for every 5000 Church members or major fraction thereof. In all other respects there will be no changes in the conduct or government of our Churches. If the union be consummated the United, Churches will become the fifth largest company of Christian disciples in the United States. From now on until the National Council meets in October, and until the National Conferences of the United Brethren and Methodist Protestants assemble, let all our Church members make this mighty movement a subject of daily prayer, If these three companies of disciples join, doubtless the impetus given to believers of every name to forget their differences in obedience to the prayer of the Master for union will hasten to become irresistible. Those Churches throughout the Territory that already bear the name "Union" will feel especially at home in the new triunal denomination. Our Annual Meeting The program for this anniversary, which will convene in Kawaiahao Church, Honolulu, March 25 to June 3, is practically complete. The general topic will be "The Problem of ReligPaul's ious Education in Hawaii." letter to the Philippians will be the expository theme. Ample time has been allowed for business and a very interesting array of speakers is promised. Hawaii's delegate to the International Y. M. C. A. Convention in Tokyo, Mr. D. L. Ai, and the Board's delegate to the Centenary Conference of Missions in China, Rev. E. W. Timing, will be heard from. A new feature of this session will be ten minutes every morning given to learning : and singing some great hymn. This s to be no perfunctory matter, committees will not be allowed to meet at this time, and every delegate will be specially requested to be present and join in the inspiring exercise. Mr. Richards will have charge of this part of the program. We hope for a large attendance and request that every Church and every Christian make the anniversary a subject of special prayer. �THE FRIEND. 4 Kindly Mention It is pleasant to sec Tl\e Friend generously spoken of by its contemporaries. The Advertiser constantly brings messages to its readers from us, for which we arc always grateful. It would be natural to expect a friendly word from a comrade like The Pacific, or even from our big brother, the Congregationalist, of the distant Hub. But we hardly looked for so flattering a notice of a modest editorial as filled some two-thirds of a column in the Army and Navy Journal of March 9 or the column editorial upon the same article in the Boston Transcript of March 4. These kindly references are, of course, a tribute to the unique position Hawaii holds in the Pacific and to the contributions her conglomerate population, together with the resulting problems and her way of tackling them, enable her to make to social science. These Islands must grow increasingly interesting to the world at large according as we grapple successfully with the great questions that face us. For this reason a failure like that of the present Senate to pass the Local Option Bill is a cause for keen regret. We all want Hawaii to do things in an ideal way. She can and please God she will. The Peace Movement The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii has appointed Mr. W. R. Castle, Jr., who holds the position of Assistant Dean in Harvard University, to represent the business interests of the Territory at the Mohonk Conference or. International Arbitration, soon to convene at Lake Mohonk. This is the first time these Islands have formally participated in this worldwide Conference, though Island residents have attended previous sessions. The movement for World Peace is fast growing irresistible. The advocates of this, which is by far the one most important human interest, are showing the greatest wisdom in their propaganda. In the first place, all the leading parliaments of the world are being reached through the Interparliamentary Union. This is a Congress in the interests of Peace which is composed of 2500 of the 15,000 members who make up the national assemblies of earth. This august body has formulated a platform of four principles, which the nations have agreed to discuss at the Second Hapue Conference, scheduled to meet on June 15. These four questions are: first. Shall the Conference meet hereafter automatically and periodically; second, Shall a model arbitration treaty be drawn, third, Shall disarmament be discussed; fourth, Shall contraband of be defined. Another mighty agency bearing the promise of larger achievement even than the Interparliamentary Union is that which aims to enlist all the financial magnates of earth uito a movement that shall be pledged to close the sources of money power to nations that wish to urge war. If this end be achieved fighting must cease, for only the government that can command loans can afford to be belligerent. The third great aggregation which shows growing hostility to war is organized labor. The day is fast Hearing when the common people the world over, who from the earliest ages have borne the weight of war's burdens, the men who form the targets for one another, who do the weary marching, undergo the degradation of camp life, lose the finer fiber of manhood in training for the shambles, and the women who stay at home to care for the children, besides earning the food that the absent husbands should provide, who swell the ranks of widows or toil through life for maimed and wounded veterans, will play the fool no more, will crowd tumultuously into one great union Of Peace and end forever the insensate madness of public murder. To popularize these features of the campaign and to create a regnant public opinion that shall tolerate war no more, gigantic Peace Conferences like that in New York which concluded its sessions April 17 arc constantly projected. It does not take Mankind long to come to mighty and momentous decisions nowadays. By the time the Hague Conference of 1007, which will be composed of delegates from all the fortyfive nations of the globe while its predecessor represented only twenty-six, shall have ended, a definite World Parliament may be organized. Who can tell? Hawaii is small, but it has its part in this vast movement. When June 15 is reached a series of cablegrams should go from Chamber of Commerce, Merchants' Association, University and College Clubs, the various Churches and Fraternal Orders to our American delegates calling upon the Conference to take the great step of declaring that war must cease and the reign of law be established among all nations. war Progress in Temperance Indications are not wanting that the noble campaign of education waged now for twenty years and more by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the public schools of the Nation is> issuing jn victory. Drink- ing to excess is becoming unfashionable. The presence of much wine or many varieties of intoxicants on the tables even of Society leaders is no longer good' form. The doctrine of the sanity of good health is merging into an axiom. People are giving heed to questions of dietetics as never before. Simple food, less meat in the daily regimen, abstinence even from tea and coffee, as well as from alcoholic stimulants, not in any Puritanic spirit or from ascetic notions or through religious scruples, but solely because the man of brains does not tare to play the fool by drugging his powers into lesser efficiency and because he wishes to be all there at every moment in the growing strenuousness, complexity and matchless charm of present day life, all are evidences that intellect is progressively asserting itself as master over animalistic instincts. The newer sort of collegian trained under the dominance of this type of common sense is bound to live more widely, achieve more, enjoy more and contribute more to his age than his predecessors. It is this spirit that tortures the saloon advocates with the specter of the downfall of their power. They cannot fight this sort of foe. You may laugh yourself into seeming victory over a fanatic or a saint, but when \ou tackle cold common sense, the laugh and the victory are on the other side. No wonder, then, that The Wine and Spirit Circular, one of the leading liquor journals of America, has this sage advice for its readers: "If there is one thing that seems settled beyond question it is that the retail liquor trade of this country must either mend its ways materially or be prohibited in all places save the business or tenderloin precincts of our larger cities." What "mend its ways" means it is hard to tell. 'Hie editorial continues: "If the Anti-Saloon League can maintain its present organization it looks as if it will certainly destroy the legalized saloon in all of the Southern States, except perhaps in Missouri, and it is certainly making strong headway in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other Western and Northern States. The Anti-Saloon League is not a mob of long-haired fanatics, as some of the writers and speakers connected with our business have declared, but it is a strongly-centralized organization, officered by men of unusual ability, financeered by capitalists with very long purses, subscribed to by hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who are so- �THE FRIEND. licited by their various Churches, advised by well-paid attorneys of great ability, and it is working with definite ideas to guide it in every state, in every county, in every city and in every precinct." Why all this is true the Wine and Spirit Circular does not state. It is because the man of today knows more about his body and its care than nil predecessors. The consummate folly of taxing himself to support such an institution as the saloon, the father of brothels, jails, insane asylums, orphanages and poor houses is fashioning itself into an axiom. The Indiana Decision Human progress has oftentimes strange manifestations. A great social truth comes silently into men's souls almost unguessed. Then some man utters it so simply and so startlinglv that the world stands aghast. In olden limes the astonishment expressed itself by stoning or hanging or crucifying or otherwise murdering the human mouthpiece of the universal conscience and a few years later canonizing him. We do not do this today. Sometime, we make a fuss for a while, especially if vested interests be menaced, but in a surprisingly short time intellect rallies to conscience side and the new social truth begins to coin witticisms al the expense of previous mental density. The case of Judge Artman of Indiana is to the point here. He has just decided, in what promises to become one of the historic pronouncements in the war of common sense versus the saloon, "that the State cannot under the guise of a license delegate to the saloon business a legal existence, because to hold that it can is to hold that the State may sell and delegate the right to make widows and orphans, the right to break up homes, the right to create misery and crime, the right to make murderers, the right to produce idiots and lunatics, the right to fill orphanages, poorhouses, insane asylums, jails and penetentiaries, and the right to furnish subjects for the hangman's gallows." The Judge therefore rules' that the State law licensing saloons is unconstitutional. This decision may not stand when appealed to the Supreme Court. But that it is the product of the social common sense of the American people and not the utterance of one man, and hence that it will prevail ere long in the life of our Nation, cannot be doubted. The American people are doing more thinking upon this question than ever before, and they are doing it in an entirely new way. They are approaching it from the point of view of hard common sense. The saloon is "a fool thing," as the college boy puts it. Pourinsj into one's body stuff, every drop of which tends to weaken, is, after all, beneath contempt. It is childish and the world of men must outgrow it. All this is axiomatic today. Like war, the traffic in women and slavery, the saloon must go as a frightful travesty upon the civilization of brotherly men. Steamship Disasters A lady passenger on the steamship Dakota busy packing her trunk in anticipation of landing soon at Yokohama glanced out of the porthole of her cabin and exclaimed to her husband, "I never knew that large steamers like this sailed so near the shore." A few minutes later the IXikota was a wreck. Japanese on land, abserving the course she was taking, bail their boats all in readiness and some had even started out to lend a helping hand before the vessel -truck. A gentleman, standing upon the deck of the Mongo'ia as she steamed towards Midway in a calm, clear night, pointed out to a fellow traveler 3 line of breakers a little ahead and to one side with the word, "We seem to be getting close to the rocks." In less than two minutes the steamer grounded. In each case the captain was on the bridge. Eyery one of the accidents to the liners Manchuria. Mongolia and Dakota anil the transport Sheridan were entirely avoidable. A most competent witness in court at Honolulu recently testified that if the captain had used "the commonest discretion" the Mongolia could not have gone ashore on Midway. Ugly rumors are afloat connecting the names of some of these ship-wrecking captains with the use of alcoholic stimulants. These tales may be entireh- false in all cases. But we wonder whether the transpacific steamship companies are as careful to prohibit the use of intoxicants by their employes as are the leading railroads of the Union? It may be that they are. If so, would it not be well for them to advertise this fact as the railroad companies do? Certainly if an engineer or conductor even by one known indulgence in drink, though moderate, renders himself liable to discharge, an officer of an ocean liner should be equally subject to discipline. It tni?ht be a wise thing for passengers to study the habits of the captains with whom they sail and let it be known if they find unmistakable evidences of even the moderate use of alcohol. For tests made by the German Government 5 clearly establish the fact that even a very sparing use of alcohol tends to cloud the judgment and lessen accuracy. By all means let us have light on the subject of the possible relation of avoidable shipwrecks to the use of intoxicants. Is it not time also for the traveling public to demand that greater care be used by our American transpacific lines in the choice of captains? It seems singular that out of the five recent startling accidents upon the Pacific, namely, those befalling the Manchuria, Mongolia, Sheridan, Dakota and Mongolia a second time, all occurred in steamships under American captains and that each of these groundings was due to what seems to the public to have been criminal carelessness. The bigness of the ship in no case was responsible for the clumsiness of its handling. S. E. B. For the first time in years we miss these familiar initials at the close of one or more articles in our columns. Dr. Bishop's service to The Friend has been so constant, so vigorous and bo provocative of thought that an intermission of it is like the absence of a near companion. A week or two ago the Doctor was prostrated by illness, ■md though he is well on his way to recovery, he is not suffered to give time to his usual round of work. As many know, he has had exclusive charge of the Record of Events and the column of Marriages and Deaths. These have added definite value to The Friend for ready reference. The fertility and resourcefulness of Dt. Bishop's mind have for many years been a revelation and a delight to a large circle both in Hawaii and on the mainland. One never knows just what subject he will tackle, from volcanoes and moon-birth theories to New Theology and the Higher Criticism, but the disclosure of bis theme and his handling of it are always forceful and possess a peculiar charm. May he soon again enter our editorial rooms, copy in hand, and long continue to give joy to his friends through the columns of this periodical, which owes its prolonged life and vitality so much to him,- John G. Woolley Monday, April 29, the Anti-Saloon League cabled to Hon. John G. Woolley of Chicago a call to come to Honolulu as Superintendent and Counsel of the League with full liberty to devote what time he might think best to general law practice. This was done in response to information that Mr. Woolley had dc- �6 cided to resume his former vocation as a counsellor at law and was inclined to a permanent view favorably Honolulu home. A reply is expected at an early day stating that the invitation has been accepted and that Mr. and Mrs. Woolley with one son will soon be on their way. Honolulu is to lie congratulated' upon the prospect of securing so distinguished a citizen of the United States to take Dp his permanent abode here. Some twentyfive years ago Mr. Woolley was practicing law in Minneapolis and had succeeded in climbing to the enviable position of one of the best known and most successIn ful lawyers of the then northwest. 1881 he was prosecuting attorney of that city. In 1886 r.- was practicing law in New York City. In 1888 he surrendered his business to take up cudgels against the saloon and soon became the accredited and most widely known spokesman of the Prohibitionists of ihe Union. In 1900 he was the candidate of the Third Party for President of the United States. As an orator he is a man of remarkable power and has been sought by the organized enemies of the saloon as an advocate in all the principal English-speaking cities of the world. He is equally well known as an author and editor. Fof many years he conducted "The New Voice." Latterly bis affiliations have been more closely with the Anti-Saloon than the Third Party Prohibition movement. Experience has mellowed him and removed' the bitterness that once used to characterize bis pttUk utterances, lie is a militant Christian, a lover of righteousness and a fighter for every good cause. He will mightily strengthen the local campaign for civic betterment in these Islands. The coming of Mr. and Mrs. Woolley is, we believe, prophetic of what we may expect during the next twenty years. As we succeed in standing for righteousness in our government, making over our churches into servants of (rod's Kingdom, and curtailing the power of the saloon until the drink evil is expelled from this Paradise, we shall attract large numbers of people who yearn for a perfect climate with a social system at once just and brotherly to all men. If we can only keep out the caste spirit and the demon of race prejudice, welcome East and West to equal privileges of citizenship, take from each the best that each has to give anil incorporate the genii 1 gentleness of the people of the Pacific Mid-Sea, Hawaii will become one of the most unique, most attractive, populous, prosperous and influential centers on the globe. Why not make it so? We can if we will. To association in the fight for this ideal we welcome Mr. John G. Woolley and his family. THE FRIEND.

But for the desertion of three Senwho had pledged themselves to support the measure, Hawaii today would be rejoicing in as up-to-date a Local Option law as any State in the It was a very American Pinion. strenuous battle and the defeat of the bill was a victory for the cause in that the supporters of Local Option gained ground all along the line. In 1903 the advocates of this thoroughly American method of settling the liquor question were practically iaughed out of court in the Legislature. Tn 1905 the bill, introduced and championed by Hon.

The young man has good in him and ; we still hope that he will pull out of the connections which drag him down. The pleas made against both the Primary and Local Option measure bySenator Chillingworth deserve a moment's consideration. The argument in brief is that the Hawaiian voter cannot be trusted.

The Ter- �8 ritory does not yet grasp in all its meaning the value of Local Option. This was made evident in" dealing with the Hawaiian members of the Lower House. They yielded a glad support as soon as its sound American features were explained. Although there is already large public backing for the measure, it should have the pressure of still stronger public opinion behind it. The fight in the Legislature has been a splendid propaganda in its favor. During the ensuing two years the Anti-Saloon League will see to it that all the voters of the Islands are enlightened as the Representatives have been, Then we may look for such a triumphant movement in its favor in 1909 that there will be no subsequent reaction. So the present issue only postpones the inevitable result. We confidently expect this two years hence, but it will make no difference in our fighting spirit if it should take fifty. For the advocates of temperance never give up. As the Wine and Spirit Circular in its now famous editorial remarked, "If the Anti-Saloon League is defeated at any point it immediately prepares for another attack along new lines, and when it succeeds it at once begins work for a more telling victory." The few saloon men who have prevented the bill from becoming law will fade out just as the present personnel of the forces opposed to them will. But there is this difference. As a rule no saloon man wants his hoy to carry on his traffic; he wishes his children in better business. At heart he is ashamed of it. But every fighter for temperance trains his boys to wiser and more successful warfare for the cause in which he believes with all his heart. We serve 'hie notice on the liquor men that two years hence we will cross swords with them again, nay, we mean to keep up the battle every day between now and the session of the Legislature of 1909. We are glad to be able to announce that we expect as Superintendent and Counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu no other than that doughty champion the Hon. John G. Woolley. May God give the victory in this campaign of conscience and of ideals to those with whom the truth lies. Meantime let us all remember Howthat the fight is not personal. ever we differ, we are all brothers in the same great family of the Eternal Father, and though at times much plainness of speech must he used and definite political and social contests must be joined, all this is compatible with a reverence for one another as THE FRIEND. men differing in many things, but es- ready consecrated themselves to the sentially alike in bearing the image of same work.

Many questions were asked, and the present advanced condition of many of the Chinese living on the Islands, the delightful Chinese home life and the fine type of Chinese citizenship were brought At the close of the address, Dr. Lambuth, speaking on behalf of Christian America, said: "I believe that now is the time for the Christian Church of America to put forth special efforts toward pushing on the Oriental work in these islands of the Pacific. The various Missions Hoards and organizations of America should be led to realize the great importance of the work of the Hawaiian Hoard for the Chinese and Japanese of Hawaii, and should give every aid possible— I mean not only by their influence, but by financial support—that the work may be carried on more aggressively than ever before." Dr. D. Spencer of Japan said of the 40,000 Buddhists in Hawaii, that they are not now full of enthusiasm for their religion, but are open to the influence of a forward movement of Christian effort. A very marked interest was shown, by all who had visited Honolulu, in the Christian work of the Islands. The sermon on Sunday was by Rev. Dr. A. K. dv Blois of Chicago, from Luke 2:10: "Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." He began by saying: "I owe the choice of my text this morning to a name, one I had not heard before, but which is now among the list of missionary heroes, which I delight to treasure in my mind—the name of Hiram Bingham, that embassador from the Courts of Heaven to the people of Hawaii. As I looked at that memorial tablet placed in the old out. \V. R. coral Church of Honolulu, I thought of the time, long ago, on the 25th of April, 1820, when Hiram Bingham came to Hawaii, bringing the message of this text." He then spoke of the grand work of the missionaries in Hawaii, and in the world, who came with the tidings of great joy, with a message of a Savior, to lift men up. He thus introduced his great subject, the "Saviourhootl of Jesus." It was a grand and inspiring address. March .26.—Nearing the shores of Japan. Will be in Yokohama this afternoon.

Wednesday afternoon, March 13, the community received the not unexpected tidings that Mother Castle had passed away. The closing of a life so long and intimately connected with all that is good in the development of Hawaii cannot fail to excite mote than ordinary interest. Her life was full of suggestion to all. Her death was the peaceful close of a finished career. Mary 1 enney was born in Plainfield, a little farming community in Otsego County, New York State. Her parents, Levy Tenney, and his wife, Mary (Kingsbury), with the two children born in Sudbury, emigrated from Southern Vermont about 1813 to what was then the promising West-Central New York. He was a stern Puritan in religious belief, a man of forceful mind and character. His wife was an intellectual woman and a devoted, active, earnest Christian. With such quali- ties, they soon occupied a position of influence in the community. Mary was born October 2(>, 1819, and her early life was quietly spent among the hills surrounding the home. She was fourth in a family of nine children, all but one of whom are now dead. The village schools afforded a common school education, but this was not enough to satisfy either the parents or children, and several terms were spent in seminaries elsewhere. About 1836, after the marriage of her eldest sister, Ange-I'iie, to S. N,. Castle, and their departure for the mission field of the Hawaiian Islands, Mary left home and went to Deerfield, Massachusetts, and entered the academy. It was a school of high reputation at that time, and it was there, probably, that she received the substantial basis of her school-acquired knowledge. The great financial distress and disasters of 1837 evidently compelled her to leave the Deerfield Academy, and she returned to Plainfield and lived quietly with the family for several years, part of the time teaching in the district school. I,n the fall of 1841 she accompanied her invalid sunt, Miss Jeiiidah Kingsbur)', to Columbus, Georgia, giving devoted care to her, until she died in the spring of 1842. Miss Kingsbury was a woman of rare intellect, education and attainments, a thinker and accomplished writer. Her influence proved a strong mental stimulus to the young country girl, and she resumed her studies with the view of preparing herself to teach in the higher schools. Death changed all these plans; at that time, also, S. \\ Castle returned from Hawaii to the States with his motherless little daughter. He offered his ''and to Mary, inviting her to become ''is wife and companion in Hawaii, his chosen field of missionary labors. Her letter accepting his offer is a very touching picture of her mental state at that time. She sadly and humbly doubted her fitness to become a missionary. I'he lofty character of that work, as she conceived it, seemed to be something beyond bet, ami which she was unworthy to 1 nthrtake. Returning north to her childhood's home, she was married ( letobcr 13, 1842, in West Exeter, New York, a mile or two from her birthplace! and the start was soon made on the long voyage to Honolulu, bringing back the little daughter of her sister Angeline. In Honolulu, from her arrival in May, 1843. till i8()2, much of her time was necessarily occupied in the bearing and training of a large family; besides which she had special duties as hostess, for her husband, as secular agent of the American Hoard, was expected to entertain many of the guests of the Mission. In fact, most of the mission families in Honolulu very nearly kept open bouse, for visitors were many in those days. The children born of this marriage were Samuel. Charles \lfred, Harriet \ngeline (now Mrs. 11. ('. Coleman), William Richards, George Parmelec, Albert Tyler, James Hicknell, Caroline Dickinson (now wife of Rev. W. 1).

(Inly once during the li ng period of residence in Hawaii—(l4 years, almost —did she re-visit the land of her birth. In July, 1877, with Mr. Castles she went to America and was absent about two years and a half. She had been hungry, Pout with longing sometimes, to again see and be with her own, and, this wish gratified, only those who saw her with friends there can understand how much it meant to her: she was content and happy to return here and live out her days. Those who have been associated with her in religious, benevolent and educational work can best testify to the value of what she did. Her whole heart, to the day of her death, wa" enlisted in the work for which she came to Hawaii. It came to her mind always ahead of, and more important than, any other concern. At first, her time and energies were devoted to helping and improving the condition, physical and spiritual, of the native Hawaiian. Then, as changing circumstances brought those of other nations to our shores, her sphere widened, and Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Europeans, all, were embraced in her plans for helping and elevating mankind. A severe attack of illness in the latter part of July, 1904, so weakened the remaining three years of her life that she was unable personally to attend to the duties she loved, but, in the midst of physical weakness, her mind still retained its 11 grasp mi the main objects of her life, some time in 1817, gives a vivid picand her interest continued to the end. ture of some of these influences.

It is interesting to note that, in order to receive the appointment as a missionary of the American Board, she procured a certificate from the Church in Columbus, Ga. "AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF MRS. CASTLE." For several years after coming to Hawaii the old questions about change of heart, forgiveness of sin, and love of the Father were a heavy weight to her. She spent many hours in prayer, reading and struggling with her own heart. Hut peace did not come. She read much, and, amid her many cares, found time to get an intimate acquaintance with grave theological problems which were then agitating nun through all the Christian world. The "Oberlin Evangelist" was for many years familiar reading matter in the house, and she entered deeply into the yearnings for holiness and perfection so much written of in that sheet. The writings of Fenclon, the sermons of Bossuet, the life of Madame Guyon, Upham's "Interior Life," and similar works, produced a deep impression on her mind. The misery caused by sin ; its dreadful and, to her, apparently undeserved effects on innocent women and children; the questions of punishment, justice and mercy, caused her untold suffering. Her agonized and constant prayer for light and peace and a certain ground for faith, seemed never answered. For years her face was wan and sorrowful. The internal struggle was never at rest and she was not allowed the peace she so earnestly desired. Those who did not understand thought she was growing misanthropic, but the influence of the books she had read opened a new current of religious thought, time brought her to a new which in world of life and liberty. After a while she read less of what others thought and did— others who were perhaps in as deep darkness and whose minds were struggling as much as her own—and read lore constantly of the life of Jesus, dwelling more on his own words. It was then that she came fully into the iight; and with the light came peace. She felt that the love of Jesus was allsufficient. She ceased to struggle for the mental assurance that she was "perfect, even as God is perfect," and was satisfied to let the law of love be the guiding inspiration of her life. It was enough to live by that rule, though she well recognized that she must fail to reach her ideals, not because of wrong intentions, but on account of human frailty. What that light and peace, illumined with the love of Jesus, meant to her, how it blossomed into the beautiful life of the final years, only those know who were with her constantly. Hut all her and friends companions in the Churches and elsewhere saw and noted the change and felt the purity, peace and love which until the end were the mainsprings of her life's conduct. We who arc left must always feel the influence of her beautiful life. Does not such a record make life more worth the living? W. R. C. ADDRESS OF REV. WALTER FREAR. IN MKMORAIM OK MRS. MARY T. CASTLE. As this service must be brief, my words must be few. There can lie no adequate expression of the appreciation and affectionate regard in which our Mother Castle is hold by us all. Wo can add nothing to the honor she already has in our hearts. This privilege of making the address on this occasion comes to me because 1 was so long her pastor in former years. Pardon then just a personal word. Ity this privilege I am carried back in precious memories as I coulil scarcely bo in any other way, and 1 want to testify that she was ono of those who did so very much to brighten nnd cheer that pastorate of a quarter of a century ago. During it all she was near as a neighbor and still nearer bb a friend. She was always sympathetic, responsive and helpful in every effort for the good of the church and the community antl for tho advancement of the king tlo in. We all feel that it has been a great blessing to us antl to many that she has been spared so long, in that apart from all that she has done she herself has been like an abiding benediction upon her children and upon the whole community. Kulogy is not at all in my thought and we know it would be farthest from her wish. What most of all we want, and she herself would desire is, that her influence should eon sinue to live for good in us; for we do live each ntlier.

I mean special lessons that come from marked qualities in her personal on in ity. 1 will mention but three. First, though the mention of it may s.unc what surprise you, is the lesson of purity. This is a superlative tpiality in the spirit and character of beings like ourselves, sin stained ami impure. Pure in miml, pure in heart, pure in hoily, what more beautiful thing coulil lie said of one living in such a life, uml so conditioned as is this of ours. The practical .lames says, as if it were a primal thing: "l''irst pure, then peaceable. The loving John says: "lie that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as lie is pure." Paul as fixing the ultimate end tells us that I'hrist gave himself for us to purify unto himself a peculiar people. More than all, our Huvinr himself says, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Pure in heart shall see Hod. Mow much it means. During the years of my near acquaintance with Mother Castle she impressed me as having in rure degree this refined purity of spirit. 1 do not mean at all that in any sense technical or historical she was what some might call puritanic, bound to formal observance and to restrictive narrowness, but there was in her this refined quality of spirit purity. In unusual degree she was clsun in heart anil of a pure miml, freed from the lusts of the llcsh and the pride of life, from the vain desire, the empty wish, and the sel fish aim. In all the relations of life there was to uc seen in her this beautiful singleness and purity of spirit. It might not be quite the thing to say that she had almost a passionate desire for this purity of heart and Hie, but one thing is clear that the dross was refilled out of her nature until this purity became a warm glow and beauty in her character. I.ct us learn this lesson from her and strive to be pure as she was. The next lesson that we may well learn from our beloved and venerated mother, ia that of peace. First purity, then peace. It is not placid ity or serenity, or evenness ami pcnceahlcnesß of disposition uml temperament that is meant. It is the peace of did. It is the rich legacy which Christ left to his disciples, when in his last words he said: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you." It is the peace of (Jod that passeth understanding, that peace which wo are told to let rule in our life, and which is spoken of as that whercunto we arc called. Tt is tho poaco of Hie divine benediction in the various epistles Keautiful and blessed peace, that is like a river of love and life in tho soul, that lets not the heart bo troubled, and that comes to sinful men only through our Lord Jesus Christ. Have we not seen this blessed peace in Mother Castle f Yes, the real thing—tho peace of God—the peace that Josug gives. We have soen it in her heart, we have seen it in her life, wo have seen it in her face. The beauty marks of it, I am told, were on �THE FRIEND. her face, us the cold form laid upon the couch after the spirit has passed to the better home. The memory of this, her peace, will abide with us. It was a fruit of the spirit. It was the gift of Christ. May this blessing so joyously seen in her lead us likewise to seek it if we have it not. A third, prominent ami dominating quality in the character and life of Mother Castle was love. It is in this respect especially that these should come to us from her abiding lesson. Purity, peace and love, and the greatest of these is love. Love is the very essence anil snul of Christian character and life. Faith shall pass into sight, and hope into fruition, but love übideth It never faileth. forever. It is the final, finished, perfected, fruitage of Christ's redeeming work in us. Love is of (iod, and Cod is love. It is in us the fuddling of all To love Cod with nil the righteousness. heart, and the neighbor as oneself is the ultimate of moral and spiritual perfection, To le constrained, in all the inner and outer life, by the love of Christ, who loved us and gave hinfself for us, is the acme of Christian motive. The Christ spirit in man is the spirit of love. His final word was, "As I have loved you, so love ye one another." In tliis respect the heart, the life, the character of Mrs. Castle had been transformed into the likeness of Christ. She learned of him what love is, and how to love, and loving as he loved became the rule of her life. This love in her was not. a sentiment. It was a principle. It was not si mere feeling. It was character and life. It manifested itself with Christ-like spirit in the motives, and aims, and purposes, and tloings and deeds of her daily life. It was the controlling force in her being. I have no reference here to the fnet that she was loved. She was loved dearly and widely. She had endeared herself to multitudes. Hut this was no part of her. It was not in her thought or aim or ambition. I mean that she herself loved in a Christ-like way—widely, it is vastly more central and vital in us to lovo than to be lovod, and she had a large place in this Christ-like loving. Her love was as witle as humanity, it reached out in unnumbered ways, known and unknown, in ministries large and small, sympathetic and helpful ministries, to the poor, the distressed, the discouraged, the orphaned, the homeless, the young, tho old, the heathen, near and far. Kvery man was her brother, every woman was her sister. Worthy appeals found an open door to her heart. She also loved wisely as well as widely. The orphanage, the home, the school, the church, tho Mission Board, institutions that work for tho permanent well-being of society and the world received the blessing of lovo from her strong and generous hand. There is a love that suffcreth long and is kind, that envieth not, that vatintcth not itself, antl is not puffed up, that behaveth not itself unseemly, and sceketh not her own, that I liinketh no evil, that rejoicoth not in iniquity, but in tho truth, that beareth all things, believeth a.ll things, hopcth all things, endureth all things. This love she had in her richly, but she had more. She had the love that went out as tho Master's did to seek and to save, to educate and enlighten, to help and lift up the children of men and to establish the kingdom of righteousness on earth. She has lived for much in her long life, but, tl this, her power of unselfish loving, could ue perpetuated in her children and in us all, that which would follow on in her usefulness would be more than nil that has gone before. It is a deep lesson in loving that we have to learn here today from this mother in Israel. In a closing word permit me to say that it. has bees such lives and labors its those of the venerated mother whom we honor today, and the influences that have gone forth from them, that have given to these Islands their best charm. The charms of mountain and valley and shore, of tropical verdure and bloom, and of gentle clime nre indeed rarely great, but it has been the moral and spiritual and social beauty and attractiveness that have been added to these, by, and resulting from the re fined Christian characters, Hie pure personnli lies. Sad the devoted labors of those who in the far gone years left the cultured home to bring the light of life to these darkened Isles, that have made them the Paradise of Had they been the Pacific that they are. left to be exploited in the interests of commerce only, had not the standards of purity and righteousness been lifted, had not the church been built, and the school and the home planted, and the Christian civilization established, all the salubrities of air and the grandness of nature, anil the riches of soil would not have made these Islands the loved place of abode that they are. Does it not behoove the desceiidents of these more than loyal Christian worthies, and all who here enjoy the fruits of I heir labors, to see to it that the good work of the fathers and mothers fuil not, but that the heritage they have received become increiisiugly glori mis. IN MEMORIAM. Old Honolulans recall with pleasure the visit to these Islands of Gen. and Mrs. Horatio Phillip Van Cleve of Minnesota some twenty-eight years ago. Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve were the parents of Mrs. William W. Hall of tihs city. The General passed away in 1891. Mrs. Charlotte Onisconsin Clark Van Cleve survived her husband until April r, KJO7, when she was called home at the age of 87 years. Mrs. Van Cleve was the daughter of the gallant Major Nathan Clark, U. S. A., and was born at Fort Crawford, Wisconsin, July 1, 181 9. At that time the name of the region was called Onisconsin, the form used by the early French explorers. She received this as her second name and retained it through life. Fort Crawford is now known as Prairie dv Chien. Her father was on the way up the Mississippi River to build Fort Snelling when she was born. The latter became her early home and gave her the right to style herself one of the "old settlers" of the great Northwest Territory. The Van Cleves, a family after the Rooseveltian heart, numbered an even dozen of children, seven of whom survive their mother, six of these being sons. Mrs. Van Cleve was a leading Church worker, deeply interested in missions and in every philanthropic undertaking.—Ed. 13 A SIGNIFICANT LETTER.

I understand that he has already raised about $28,000, of which $10,000 was raised in Belgium, his native country.

He said it Would make him supremely happy could he secure the means to care for a thousand lepers. His plan is to secure a piece of land on which to build cottages for the lepers and give the able-bodied ones a chance to eke out for themselves a better living by doing garden work. Many of the lepers are helpless, and must he cared for and fed. The Chinese government does little or nothing for them.

His first letter to me was headed, "Dear Sir." I wrote back, Dear Brother. In his reply, he said, "You call me Brother, and so we arc, for our work is one." And this seems to be the real conviction of this brave, consecrated man, who is truly the apostle to the lepers, who is the most loyal of churchmen in that he is loyal to humanity. O.

At its annual meeting the Hawaiian Board engaged Mr. E. Herrick Brown to take charge of its steadily enlarging religious book trade. We are happy to introduce our new associate to all ouf friends In I Eawaii, Some years ago Mr. Ilrown was chief assistant in the Congregational Hook-store in Boston, the literary headquarters of the Congregational Churches of the East. Pastors and laymen throughout that region esteemed him lor his accurate knowledge of all hew hooks in their line, for his unfailing courtesy and genial happy manner. When the removal of the manager Of the Congregational Bookstore in Chicago called for a successor and the directors look the only wise course open to thcin by promotes Mr. Brown to its management, his loss was keenly felt in the Boston region. Hard work brought the success predicted in the new place bttt Chicago climate proved too much for the new manager and forced him to seek California, where a season of ranching has given him hack his old time vigor. Fortunately for Hawaii the bright picture of conditions here, painted by Mr. Henry C. Brown, formerly of the Y. M. C. A. of this city, but now successful small fanner of Wahiawa, called Mr. E. Derrick Brown to the Islands at the very moment when the remarkable growth of it-. 1 k business compelled the Hawaiian Board to seek a manager. It -eiins moat providential that the Territory is to have at the head of its religious book enterprise so capable, welltrained and energetic a man as Mr. Brown. Large orders have gone to the mainland and to Asia, and in a few months the Board Book Rooms will be equipped with tip to date religious literature. Sunday School supplies and all the other essentials of a modern establishment of this character. Mr. Brown may he consulted at any time with ref erence to orders for books of any description and will he able to quote prices in his line that will be very attractive. Another Milestone. The eighty-fifth annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was by general consent the best within the memory of those present. The theme "The problem of religious education in Hawaii" was timely and was developed in a way to stimulate the deepest interest. The musical feature, introduced by Treasurer Richards, was carried out in both novel and devotional fashion. It did everybody good. The papers presented were by experts, were most carefully prepared and blended theory and practice very happily. I he expositions were unusually good. The attendance was large and it was remarked by several that the entire anniversary was a species of Chautauqua or Summer School for Pastors and Pay Christian Workers of the highest value. The steadily increasing use of the English language, the growing number of Hawaiians in attendance able intelligently to follow discussions therein. the deepening interest manifested by Chinese and Japanese evangelists and I he evident progress made in the development of esprit-de-eorP* on the part of all races were most gratifying. Compared with the kind of meeting held lour years ago it hardly seems the same country or the same people. Wc are moving in an entirely different age. The Queen Coming to Her Own. The generous participation of Queen Eiliuokalani in the anniversary, both by the openhandedness of her gifts to the Entertainment Committee and by her presence at the annual luau, added a feature of peculiar significance. Her deep interest in the old historic Church at Lahaina during her visit there last winter and her manifestation of sympathy with the work of all the Churches during the past two weeks testify that the era of good feeling has returned never again, we trust, to know an ending. Prince Kalanianaole was also present at the feast and has on many recent occasions taken pains to show that he is one of the factors in the growth of the new sentiment of brotherhood that is becoming so powerful throughout the Islands. The Queen seems alive to the possibilities of the No. 6 large influence for good that is hers and is moving in a sphere of kindly service which doubtless is bringing peculiar satisfaction. After the stormy experiences, disappointments and sorrows of many years there appears to be opening before her a career of serene joy and wide usefulness in which she may be privileged to make her life tell as a blessing to all in helping to weld together the forces which, regardless of race, make for civic righteousness and social brotherliness. Following this path of kindly service she is sure to come to a throne in the hearts of her fellow-citizens more stable, fuller of true influence and more abounding in real satisfactions than that of the olden days of turmoil. Significant Actions. Two votes of the Association link Ihe Churches to the great achievements for which the Twentieth Century is destined to be remembered. One of these is Christian Union, the other is the End of War. For many years the Congregationalists of America have with a peculiar self satisfaction proclaimed their polity to he one divinely ordained to facilitate the union of denominations. Sometimes this has been done with an unctuousness that has savored of cant. Now at last God has taken them at their word and has faced them with an opportunity of proving their boasts true or of, having to plead Finding something like hypocrisy. their their way into an assembly of and United Methodist-Protestants Brethren who were debating union they asked to be allowed to be a third party at the feast of combination. Since then every step of the negotiations has demonstrated the fact that when Christians really mean business in uniting, God's Spirit will clear away every, obstacle. With a unanimity unparalleled, conclusions were reached and now the Congregational Churches are presented with a tangible Act of Union to which their representatives without one disuniting voice have agreed. What the outcome will he it is hard to say.

It will be a most impressive exhibition of the demands of enlightened common people that the world has ever seen. I lawaii is to have a share in it.

Tt is to be hoped that Hawaii's commercial organisations, fraternal orders. and labor associations will not suffer the Churches to be alone in this movement on behalf of Peace. The American Delegates at the First Peace Congress testified that it was the multitude of cablegrams from the United States that turned the tide and made it possible to carry the Congress for a Permanent Court of Arbitration, when it seemed utterly hopeless to expect any action whatever in this direction. fields brought conclusive testimony that a new age has dawned. Their optimism was most refreshing while the pastors and delegates bore out their reports of vigorous life stirring everywhere.

The movement bears none of tin- ear marks of spasmodic manifestation, ft has been very quiet and so little apparent that not until returns from all the Churches were received and added did any of the workers dream that the advance had been so general or had reached so far. The truth is the actual story of achievement surprised us all, even those who were most sanguine and thot they were best informed. Campaign of Evangelism. The most important action taken in many a year by the Association was to 1all upon all the Hawaiian Churches of the Islands to join in an evangelistic movement during the months of June, July, and August. The quiet revival mi Kamehameha schools has resulted in a solemn pledge by the Christian students to go to their homes and work for Christ. This splendid company of workers committed to special effort acted as a powerful incentive upon the members of the Association who voted to request every Church to institute house to house visitation in order to reach each family in its parish. Kaumakapili, Wainee, Haili and Kapaa Churches were asked to surrender their pastors—Rev. Messrs. Poepoc, White. Desha and Kaauwai—who, with Evangelist Timoteo will tour the five large islands. Messrs. Timoteo and Kaauwai will work on Kauai dur- ing June, while Messrs. Desha and I'oepoe visit the OatlU Churches. In July Messrs. Timotco and Desha will take Maui as their field, Molokai falling to Brothers White and I'oepoe. In August Messrs. Desha and White will tour Kau and Kona while Messrs. Timotco and Pocpoe give themselves to the cast coast of Hawaii from Puna lo Kohala. The evangelists will endeavor to reach as many homes by visitation as possible. AH the Christians of the Territory are earnestly requested to re member this campaign in prayer. It may mean large things for the Islands. (iod grant it. Good Things. The formal addresses before the Association were so carefully prepared and of such a high order of excellence that we greatly regret our inability to publish them. The annual meeting is just closing as we go to press. Next month we hope to give a resume of a number of the papers even the we may be unable to print them as they were pre tented. Sometime ago the Friend Editorial Board voted to issue an Educational Number in July and therefore the contributions to the annual meeting w ill prove most appropriate. The Delaportes. (>ur title page bears the portrait of Central Union's Missionary Family. Tt is an interesting group and the Church is to be congratulated upon being able to send to the field six such attractive representatives- The home is the glory of modern missionary endeavor. The children preach the gospel often as powerfully as their parents while the family as a whole is the most successful agency known to Christian propaganda. We begin in this month's issue a serial article by Mr. Delaporte which, we believe, to be of permanent value. Turning The First Sod. Mr. F. W.

As the trade is now carried' on here, bananas for shopping are wrapped in dried leaves, are piled in great heaps which sometimes arc used as sleeping places for steerage passengers, absolutely no care is taken to preserve even temperatures, the vessels sail so unfrcqucntly that growers lose large quantities of fruit by ripening between sailing dates, they are not paid for the fruit on delivery at the vessel, much of the shipment decays en route because of the conditions of shipping and as a consequence the banana business is for mismanagement ideal.

But of late Japan has undergone a wonderful marisport and food only. time development. With admirable (To be continued.) over. �8 THE FRIEND energy, she is demonstrating her capacity for taking the leadership in the commerce of the Pacific, for which she is unmistakably reaching out. F"or it she possesses some great advantages over the United States. The greatest doubtless, is Japan's possession of a very large, capable, and cheaply-hired sea-going population. As an island kingdom, surrounded by productive fisheries. Japan has an immense seacoast population, trained for ages to be at home in stormy seas. Although America is not lacking in such a maritime class, still her population is mainly continental, unacquainted with the ocean. And then the current wages of the Japanese are low. Their ships can be manned for less than half the price which America must pay. It is impossible to compete with ships manned at such low wages, and by capable seamen. It is perhaps true that competent Chinese sailors and firemen could be supplied to American ships at equally low rates; but the labor unions relentlessly forbid resort to any such expedient, which perhaps other strong reasons may render unwise. Then as a builder of steamships both mercantile and naval, Japan has recently been demonstrating the highest capacity. Already she is practically independent of foreign aid in increasing her navies of war and peace, which arc assuming most formidable dimensions. The question then is not at all that of preventing Japan from dominating the mercantile traffic of the Pacific. If by peaceful means and superior advantages she is able to do that, it is her right, and America has only to concede her superiority. But the present great problem is for the United States to secure immunity from naval assaults of their own Pacific Coast, and from warlike destruction of such proportion of commerce as remains to them, especially of their great coasting trade along the Pacific. Japan is doubtless not now inclined to hostility, or contemplating a probable war upon America. But she is a spirited nation and also a very impulsive one. It is only common prudence to be thoroughly fortified against dangerous possibilities. has long since come to be generalaccepted by military and naval horities that Hawaii is the one at strategic point for the defense of American Pacific Coast. Any hospower operating from the Orient is en thousand miles away and too remote for hostile action, that distance being far beyond any possible steaming radius of warships. But Hawaii is It the convenient distance of only two thousand miles from the American coast. An enemy in possession of this convenient outpost can deliver attacks with every advantage for the destruction of ports, cities, and the coasting traffic. And then Hawaii is isolated, and has no competitor as a position for either attack or defense of trie Coast. Hawaii's greatest qualification for being securely occupied by either America or America's enemy consists in our singular possession of'one of the best land-locked harbors of the globe, namely Pearl Harbor in this island of Oahu. It is not needful here to describe this harbor. Once properly cleared and fortified, it can be held indefinitely against any force capable of being brought against it. With proper docking facilities and naval workshops, it will constitute America's great haven of refuge and repair for her Pacific fleets and commerce. At the same time it will be America's permanent outpost of defense against the approach of an enemy against her Western at Coast. It remains for America to complete the preparations for this essential defense which have so far barely been begun. As they now stand they serve only as a temptaton to induce any determined enemy to make a timely seizure of them. Happily no such enemy yet exists, or seems likely soon to appear. Whenever Pearl Harbor is completely improved and occupied, it will constitute the strongest possible guaranty against the arising of any such an enemy. Pearl Harbor is the natural Malta of this larger Mediterranean, the North Pacific. In the interests of Peace, let it be occupied and fortified, with all speed. S. E. B. MOTT IN CHINA. [Through the kindness of Mrs. J. Atherton we are permitted to publish two letters written by Mr. J. L. Mott concerning bis recent trip in China. Except for the omission of super and sub-scriptions the letters are given en- tire.—Ed.] ftn my way to Japan I write to tell you a few things about the busy five weeks spent in China. Attention was concentrated on the eight great centers: Hongkong, Canton, Shanghai, Soochnw, Nanking, Hankow, Peking and Tientsin—cities averaging about <ne million inhabitants and each being a point of commanding commercial, political and educational influence. The almost faultless preparations which had been made enabled me to accomplish more in these few weeks than I could have done in a much longer period a few years ago before our Association movement was established. An event of capital importance was the National Convention held in Shanghai. We limited the attendance to about three hundred and fifty men, but these were so carefully selected that the number included the very flower of the Chinese Christian Church so far as men are concerned. Twelve of the eighteen provinces were represented as well as Manchuria, Hongkong, Korea and Japan, besides fraternal delegates from nine distant nations. The Chinese personnel was so strong and representative that this convention stands out as the most remarkable gathering of Oriental Christians ever held. I could not but contrast it with the first convention of our movement in China, which was held over ten years ago during my first visit to the Ear East when we were organizing the movement. Ttie first gathering had a little over thirty delegates; this one had over three hundred. A majority of the delegates at the first convention were foreigners, all but two or three scores of the delegates this year were Orientals. The officers and members of committees in the first convention were nearly all foreigners; in this convention all the officers were Chinese and also all except one or two members of the working committees. With but one or two exceptions, the speakers in the first convention were foreigners; in this gathering, with the exception of the three addresses I was invited to give, all the main speeches were made by Orientals. At the first convention one was conscious that we were feeling our way: this year one had constant evidence that the movement had found itself, that it had a clearly defined goal and that it was pressing toward that goal with aggressive enthusiasm. The Association movement has become indigenous in China. I am fully persuaded that were it to die out in America and Europe it exists with such vitality and propagating power in China that it would ultimately spread from that country back to the West. An advance policy was outlined, thoroughly discussed and unanimously adopted. Among other things, this calls for setting apart an able Chinese secretary to cultivate the Christian colleges and schools; the devoting of at least two able men to work among the students of the hundreds of government and gentry schools which are springing up on every hand; the commissioning of an experienced Chinese leader to extend the movement among the Chinese colo- �THE FRIEND nies in the Philippines, the Straits Settlements, the East Indies, Sou 1:'! Africa, the Hawaiian Islands, and t! p Western Coast of America; the allocating of at least two Chinese scholars to devote themselves to meeting the clamant need for Christian literature for young men ; the conducting of an aggressive campaign to influence Chinese students of capacity to devote their lives to Christian workj the laying of special stress on the enlisting and training of Chinese leaders for the secretaryship; the maintaining of the a'.mitled primacy of the Association movement in the Bible study developments throughout the Chinese Empire; and the sounding out of the note of evangelism on behalf of the most influential classes of men. My private conference with the International Association secretaries, at which we considered exhaustively a program for the next five years in the work of the Associations of the Far East, was in some respects of even greater importance than the Convention. This was supplemented by unhurried interviews with each of the twenty-five secretaries concerning his own work, relationships and plans. I went into matters even more extensively with the national leaders, Brockman and Lyon, one or both of whom travel ed with me during my entire visit in their field. The word statesmanlike is a much abused term and yet it apples with aptness to the policy of these two men who have already accomplished a work out of all proportion to their years. Wherever possible I threw myself with the keenest interest into the work of evangelism. While there was not time to conduct as many meetings of this character as one would have liked, those which were held ranked among the most fruitful in my experience. These meetings in the different places averaged in attendance over one thousand young men. and the work of invitation was so well carried out that the audience were composed of picked young men of the most important classes. Not a gathering was held which did not crowd the largest hall which could be obtained. In two cities large temporary pavilions were erected for this special purpose. Each meeting, including the time I devoted to the process of sifting out the inquirers and anchoring impressions, lasted three hours. Notwithstanding the handicap of being obliged to do everything through interpreters, the intense attention and responsiveness of these audiences was of such a character as to be inexplicable apart from the working of 9 thc supernatural Spirit of God.

One of the main subjects of conversation was the attitude of the government toward Christian colleges in China. I regard this as one of the most important opportunities which has ever come to me. especially as this particular province is setting the pace for the whole Empire in educational matters. At .Nanking, the ancient capital of China, the Viceroy, Tuan Fang, who is one of the three most Influential Viceroys of China, kindly arranged for us in call upon him. He was Governor of Shensi at the time of the Boxer war and, contrary to the Imperial orders, protected the lives of the missionaries.

M. Lydgatc a committee to solicit were. There was some discussion as funds for this purpose. Mr. Lydgate, �11 THE FRIEND however, declined to be appointed for this purpose, claiming that this was an unwarranted and discourteous interference in the affairs of the Methodist Mission. Until we knew something of Mr. Wadman's attitude toward the matter it would be wise to tend to our own affairs—the more so as there were indications of strained relations between Mr. liven and his superiors. The matter was finally dropped. The Hawaiian pastor at Waimea appealed for the speedy ordination of Mr. Yec Kui worker under the Hoard in the Chinese field at Waimea. He had been licensed at the last Association and it was proposed to ordain him now without further examination and in the absence of the head of the Chinese department. Rev. F. W. Thwing. An ordination committee was appointed but this committee was so strongly impressed with the inadvisability of such precipitate action that they reported in favor of postponement until Mr. Timing's return. There was a surprising unanimity of sentiment in favor of allowing unlicensed and uneducated practitioners to experiment on the unfortunate lepers at Kalawao. The Hoard of Health was occupying a dog in the manger position -they wouldn't do anything themselves—nor let any one else. Specialists came from all over the world—and made a great show of wisdom and skill, took samples and specimens and went away again and nothing more was ever heard of them. The regular practitioners were powerless. Why not give the men who stood ready to do something a chance? 11l response it was pointed out that a man wouldn't turn over a delicate and valuable watch to a blacksmith to repair but to a trained watchmaker. The bodies of the unfortunate lepers at Kalawao were infinitely more valuable and delicate than watches, and we ought not to turn them over to every ignorant bungler to experiment on. If the specialist and the regular practitioner could do nothing it was certain that the ordinary man wholly ignorant of the human organism couldn't, and it would be the height of inhumanity to expose the poor lepers to the ignorant bungling of such practitioners. No action was taken in the matter. On the whole it was a most interesting and profitable meeting. J. M. L. EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION ON TRIUNION. Honolulu, T. H., May 29, 1907. To the National Council of The Congregational Churches of the United States: The Hawaiian Evangelical Associa- tion, assembled in its eighty-fifth nual meeting at Honolulu, T. an H., sendeth greeting. Having learned with great jo.v of the movement towards union which for the past few years has stirred the hearts of the members of the Methodist Protestant, United Brethren and Congregational Churches, believing that this movement was born of the Holy Spirit and has from its birth consistently evidenced 11is guidance, and realizing that the occasion in which to justify our professions now confronts its, who, as a denomination of believers, have long declared both our desire to he used nf God as a factor in the answer of our Ford's prayer for union and the peculiar fitness of our polity and history, to serve as a denominational solvent, we, the Pastors and Delegates of the ninety-seven Churches of Hawaii, respectfully petition you to take such action as shall facilitate the proposed consolidation of these three companies of Christian disciples. Since the time of their founding our Churches have been singularly free from denominationalism, not a few of them bear the name of "Union," and they have consistently striven with large success to keep sectarian narrowness out of these fair Islands. The blessings of this condition of few competing communions are apparent everywhere here and form one of the unique features of local Christian experience. What we enjoy we wish to see prevail throughout the country, leading on to the final realization of our Lord's ambition for all His disciples. We hold ourselves in readiness to institute whatever alterations in name may be necessary to carry into local effect the Act of Union, provided the three denominations adopt it. These seem to be the only changes the union would require of us. The doctrinal platform and the treatment of vested interests call for no modifications of existing features of our Church life. As to polity, although we have no declarations with reference to the autonomy of the local Church in the constitutions of our ecclesiastical organizations in these Islands, we have the thing itself, and there is nothing in the Act of Union threatening to deprive us of it. We prefer the reality to any academic assertions concerning it. Ministerial standing here rests with the local associations and until they surrender this prerogative, which the Act of Union is not understood to require them to do, we know no power, except that of our Master to whom all authority hath been given, that can take it away. We believe that the time for putting union into effect has come. The practise of this great virtue, so near to our Lord's heart, is the demand of the hour. If the three denominations adopt the Act of Union and begin to work upon it, experience will teach what modifications may be wise. Our own denomination, which outnumbers both of the other parties to the union, has no need to fear any deprivation of The visible btoodbought liberties. Church of Jesus Christ in the world is in far more danger of loss of influence, if not of real life, through unwillingness to pi ogress towards effective combination, whither God's Spirit and outage so clearly point, than through the bugbear of lost rights. Wherefore in the faith that the Great Head of the Church is leading His Congregational followers into larger life through the Open door, on the threshold of which they now are standing, we advocate entering boldly this realm of opportunity by the adoption of the Act of Union.

I have tried to find the best and the worst. And while, as I say, lam aware that the worst exist, and as bad as under any system and as bad as in any age, I have never had to look beyond the inmates for the cause; and, in every case, so far as my own observation goes, drunkenness was at the bottom of the misery, and not the industrial system or the industrial conditions surrounding the men and their families." �12 THE FRIEND NEW MEMORIAL WINDOW. A recent issue of a pilpcr published in Danhury, Connecticut, contains the following There item: has been placed, in one of the north windows of the First Congregatoinal Church a beautiful stained glass window, the work of the Tiffany Studios, New York, which will be seen will) a great deal of interest by the people ol the Church tinnorrow, and makes a splendid addition to the interior decorations of the Church auditorium. 'I'he window is the gift of Charles Montague Cooke, of Honolulu, Hawaii, who gave it in memory of his parents, who went to those islands as missionaries many years ago. At the bottom of the window is ihe following inscription : In Mcmoriain Amos Starr < ookt and bis wife Cooke, Juliette Missionaries to the I lawaiian Islands in 1836. The giver of the window has not it himself, for A. Cooke Seeley, of this city, acted as his agent in securing it. It is one ol the finest works of the Tiffany Studios, and its cost was about one thousand dollars. The picture in the glass is that of •'lhe Sower," a representation of the parable ol the sower as told by the Christ and recorded in the gospels. The colorings are harmonious and perfectly in keeping with the other windows in the Church. It represents a in 111 in the garb of a Hebrew spreading seed upon a field, taking the seed from a small bag which he carries at his side. I'he window is protected on the outside by a covering of glass a quarter of an inch in thickness. MH-n FALSE BIOLOGY AND I. By John T. FATALISM. Gulick. Herbert Spencer rests his denial of the freedom of the human will on the biological assumption that all vital activities are predetermined by activities ill the environment. (See Principles of Psychology, sec. aao.) In his Principles of Biology sections mo and 170, we read: "At first, changes in the amounts and combinations of external inorganic forces, astronomic, geologic, and metcorologic were the only causes of the successive changes undergone by organisms. In time however, the action of organisms on one another became new sources of organic modifications." And again: "That there maybe continuous changes in organism, there must be continuous changes in incident forces." It is evident that if our natural powers and our present conditions are so determined by the environment that we can produce but one set of actions, then no effort on our part, either individual or collective, can in the least affect the result; for we cannot change our circumstances without acting, and our actions arc already determined by our circumstances. We now raise the question, whether ihe assumption on which Herbert Spencer founds his philosophy, and which has been accepted without question by many biologists, is in accord with Ihe facts of biology. la it hue that change in Ihe character of the selection affecting any organic group is wholly determined by change in Ihe activities surrounding Ihe group.' Or can change in Ihe selection be initiated ami maintained through change in Ihe organism, without any change in the environment.' (i) External nature furnishes the means and the occasions but not the cause. Can any thing be surer than that through Ihe activities <>f the organism changes in its relations to the environment an- often produced; and that through these changes the charac- ter of its survival is changed, and so the character of its selection. It is by virtue of its power to strive for the continuance of its life that an organism is n organism ; and selection is the direct lesult of varying degrees of survival in the exercise of this power. We sec. therefore, that the doctrine, common amongst a certain class of evolutionists, that the environment makes the Organism, rests nu a false assumption. i )ne cause of this assumption has been Ihe habit of speaking of the transforming power of selection as if it were quite distinct from the power of variation; whereas the diversity of survival, which s diversity of selection, is the direct : result of the varying adaptation of the organism. 'I'he transforming power of selection is the direct result of variation and heredity, with the elimination of the less fit. If we wish to draw a true parallel between Natural Selection and Artificial (or rational) Selection, we must consider both wild and domestic creatures as gaining opportunity for propagation by adapting themselves to the environment ; the one class varying so as to be the best able to perpetuate its kind in the struggle for life among irrational who are the environment, and the other class varying so as to be the most pleasing to man, and through his care and protection gaining a chance to live and propagate. The one class adapt themselves to the natural (or irrational) environment, the other class to the rational environment. /" either case change in Ihe character <>j Ihe selection may be produced through change in the organism, withaul any change in the creatures environment. I will now refer to cases thai illustrate and prove this statement. It should he noted that Natural Selection and Sexual Selection the two forms of selection discussed by Darwin belong to widely different spheres of action, and, as I have elsewhere shown, there are other forms of selection of equal importance with these, arising in each of these spheres. Natural Selec tion is one form of Fnviroual Selection, the changes of which are determined by changes in the natural environment. Another form of Fnviroual Selection is Artificial Selection, the changes of which are determined by changes in the rational environment surrounding the species, A third form of F.nvirnnal Selection is what I have called Fndouo mic Selection, diverse forms of which are determined by different methods of using the same environment adopted by isolated branches of the same species. The valleys of Manoa and Niiuanu, though nniv about three miles apart, present a greater difference in vegetation than that found between Mano:: and Kawailoa, (in (he district of Wai alua.) which are twenty, miles apart but the divergence in the species of snails of the genus Acliatinclla, OCCIi pying these valleys, varies according to the number of ridges by which they arc separated, and not according to the con ditions to which they are exposed. Th largest species of the genus are found in Manna and Makiki clinging to the trunks of the ohia and kukui trees while their nearest of kin in Waialua. are much smaller, arc of different forms and colors, and have deserted the trunks of Ihe larger trees to live on the lobelia and other shrubs. Several species of birds found in North America have changed or are now in Ihe process of changing, their relations to the environment, in such a way as to introduce themselves to new fnrms of selection. One is the cliff swallow, which, instead of plastering its nest against the roof of a cave or hole in a cliff, attaches it to the overhanging eaves of a house. Another is the chimney swift. We know that before the coming of Europeans these : �THE FRIEND 13 EXPERIENCES OF A NATURALIST A PERILOUS LANDING. birds chose hollow trees as the appropriate place-, for (heir nests, but now most of tin- species have deserted the hollow trees, and established themselves in the chimneys. 'The influence of habits iii determining new relations to the environment is well illustrated by a colony of cats on Tarpon Island, near the mouth of the Mississippi river. ( hie of the most decided instincts of the ordinary cat is lo avoid immersion in water or any other liquid, lie dislikes to wet even his feet ; but there may arise conditions under which he will use his paws in drawing food out of the water. More than nne has learned to help himself to cream placed in an open jar, by thrusting his paw into the liquid and then licking oil' what adheres. Some have learned to skim pans of milk in a simi- lar way, and others have become adepts in fishing for gold fish kept in glass globes. These undoubted examples of the partial overcoming of their natural aversion, makes it easier to believe (he account given by the New Orleans Times-Democrat the Tarpon Island cats. concerning Their separation from other families of cats has allowed of their establishing their habits of feeding on entirely new lines of tradition, for they all wade freely in Ihe shallow waters of the beach hunting for small fish, and three or four of the bolder ones swim off to oyster boats King at anchor near by. This is an example of an innovation becoming a permanent habitude; and as Captain Bosco, who owns these cats, says it is — OB — many years since they began to go into the water, we have reason to believe the: friend that a coincident form of Endonomic DEC 'D2 Selection has begun to produce a breed This number is in considerable demand whose innate instincts are better adaptfor mission study and we slid have a : : : quantity on haml ed to this mode of life than were those Thk Price roa thi I'ki-sim is of the original stock. 25 Cts. Returning to Sexual Selection we find that it is one of several forms of selection arising from the relations in which the members of the same species stand to each other and which may, therefore, be classed as forms of ReAN ENCYCLOPEDIA flexive Selection. Sexual Selection secures between the sexual instincts of one sex and the instints and characters of the Other sex, such harmony as The cost hitherto has been so great that al is necessary for the sexual propaga- though CHILDREN ARE FOREVER WANTtion of the group. 111. birds, insects; ING to consult one in their school work, few joi, _>00.

BOOK ROOMS A third form of Reflexive Selection American Board Number : THE GROWING FAMILY NEEDS _ �14 THE FRIEND is what I have called Filio-parental Selection, which maintains coordination between the power's and characters of parents, and the size, number, form and instincts of the young. How the power of giving suck and the corresponding instinct for sucking were first developed it may be impossible to tell; but it is evident that having once been established as the method of sustentation for the young of mammals, any mother lacking the power of giving suck, and any young lacking the instinct for sucking, would in all probability fail of leaving descent. The death at birth of children with excessively large heads, as also the failure of a mothei with a contracted pelvis to produce living children, are examples of filio-parental selection. There are several other forms of Rellexive Selection, but the only one that we can take time to consider»jg Institutional Selection. Institutional Selection is du< to the suppression of human reproduction in certain cases, and the favoring of it in other cases, by means of ecclesiastical, military, commercial, sanitary and penal institutions. It is of great interest to the student of social problems, for it shows how even the inherited powers of the civilized races of mankind are being constantly molded by their institutions, and the forms of social organization that prevail. In all divergent evolution of racial characters segregate generation (that is the generation of like with like,) has been a fundamental condition. It is also at present a fundamental condition in the very structure of the organic world: for without Segregate Generation, races, species, genera and the higher groups could not continue to exist even if they were independently created.

Not a few of the traditional friends ol Hawaii and its native people may be hearel to express doubt of the value ol such educational weirk as is done for Hawaiian girls by Kaniehaineha, Kawaiahao, Maunaolu and Kohala schools. The current criticism is that the pupil m these schools receives a training that adds certainly to her attractiveness and makes her a more desirable companion, but that it is impossible to develop in her a corresponding moral resistence to temptation, hence she is more ardently sought for by evil men and easily falls a victim. It is surprising how widespreael this idea is. If it were true it would be a strong argument against those who believe that "education is salvation." The only way in which to meet generalizations of this kind is not to quote instances of educated Hawaiian girls who are conspicuous for virtuous and noble lives—and there are numbers of them—but rather patiently to institute a study of the graduates of these schools and ascertain the facts. Unfeirtunately for years Kohala, Maunaolu and Kawaiahao seminaries had no fixed courses of study, no definite graduations, no goals set before the girls in acquirement of knowledge. Conditions prevailing at the time doubtless made it elifficult to do anything else than run the educational machine haphazard. Such a system or lack of system would naturally lead to haphazardness of living, yet there are many instances of sturdy womanhood developed during this period in these schools. Of late, however, all this is changed. The influence of Kamehameha has without question been very helpful in this direction and now for several years all of our Christian Girls' Schools have had' determined courses with fixed requirement for graduation and diplomas that stimulate ambition. Coincident with the Introduction of system into chaos the habit of keeping in touch with the graduates has been cultivated. Kamehaineha has done this from the first and its receirel eif all its alumnae is a model eif good work. For seven years Kawaiahao has maintained a like interest in its former students, while Maunaoht anel Kohala are just beginning to institute a like custom. The two latter schools have Buffered from frequent changes of principals. Kamehameha has organized its graduates Into a very effective and loyal alumnae association, which holds the highest ideals constantly before both its members and the undergraduates. Similar organizations will without question soon surround each of the three other seminaries with a wall of defense. No greater moral force for growing a healthful school spirit is known than a vigorous association of its graduates. The records carefully maintained by Kamehameha for ten years and by Kawaiahao for seven years afford accurate data for testing the flippant criticism urged against educatine Hawaiian girls. The facts are simply overwhelming. Kawaiahao has during the past seven years sent forth 74 girls. Their story today is as follows: Niarrieel 16 Teaching 19 Nurses 2 I >rcssmakers 2 ()rganist in church I Domestic service 5 Telephone operator 1 In steam laundry 3 Clerk in store I Milliner I Living in their parents' homes.... 4 Attending Normal and High Schools 15 Leading openly immoral lives 4 During its ten years Kamehameha Cirls 'School has graduated 85 with the result noteel below: I )eceased 3 Marrieel (teachers 3, clerk 1) 34 Teachers 13 Stuelents 12 Stanford University "1 I High School [■ 2 ; Normal 9 Stenographers, typewriters 4 of the married members.

Six of the eiglil are married and are now doing well. ( hie- is earning a live' 'ihood supporting her child and is truly repentant. One 1 have not been able to trace." These facts speak volumes to those who know the conditions of life in Hawaii ami who appreciate the awful truth that there have always been and are now numbers of white men whose habit it is to prey upon the girls of the native race. A Hawaiian young women who stands the storm that assails her purity here' is worthy of far larger praise anel honest admiration then her white sister. These records not only show that Christian education for Hawaiian girls is justified by its fruits but also demonstrate tei the man who has any conception of the battle that these alumnae have tei fight, that the Christian girls' schools of Hawaii are its chief social hope. It is a speaking fact detailed by Miss Pope that of eight graduates who fell before the fust onset of the storm, seven have' reasserted their woman hooel ami now stand true. The imperfect records of Mauiiaolu and Kohala tend to recn force the above careful study maelc by the principals of the' two schools cited. In a few more years there will he a still larger body of ascertained facts. There can be no doubt whither they will point, for every year is showing better results. The day for doubts as lei the wiselenn of celucating Hawaiian giris in Christian schools, whose aim is to equip them with an industrial as well as mental and spiritual panoply lor winning righteous character, has past.

'The Conference was of the inspirational type rather than educational like that held later in the month in Shanghai. The underlying thoughts of the program were three: (t) The contribution made by Christianity to the life of the principal nations of the world; (2) The great unifying religious truths] which the Federation movement emphasizes ; the power of the spirit of God, the Lordship of Jesus, and the value of the Christian scriptures, the scientific attitude to Christianity; (3) 'The responsibility which rests upon students for the evangelization of the worlel. The presence eif large numbers of pastors from all over Japan insured the communication of the inspirational influence oi the Conference to all parts of the Empire. This result was further secured by a carefully planned evangelistic campaign carried on in all parts of the Empire for a number of weeks, both before and after the Conference. Everywhere the amplest opportunity was given for the presentation of Christian truili. Even iii strong Buddhistic centers the municipal authorities granted the use of the city hall for evangelistic meetings. It is impossible, of course, to eletcrmine with accuracy what the outcome of (his evangelistic campaign has beenThe most important result is thought to be the larger opportunity which has been secured for the effective presentation of Christianity henceforth by resident Christians in the cities visited by evangelistic speakers. At the close of the campaign, about two weeks after the' Conference, 171x1 inquirers anel applicants for baptism hail been reported. A little later one whose estimates are carefully made wrote me as follows: "When the results are all in, no doubt there- will be- over 2000 seekers, an 1 of these I estimate that- 1400 are really earnest men who will be followed up and brought into the Church within the next year or two." During the Tokyo Conference outsiele evangelistic meetings were held for Chinese. Keircan anel Japanese students studying in Tokyo. These meetings were attentled by more than 10,000 stuelents.

As you see, I am still at Kusaie, and see no prospect of leaving it in the near I arrived here Sept. it, 1905, nearly two years agei, ami Miss lloppin left by the same steamer, according to previous arrangement. When 1 got here the e-ar penters we're putting the' finishing touches to a small house built out of the debris of our old house and four or five others. 'This house is the one we are still occupying, and to judge from the way things don't move, probably shall continue to occupy for the rest of our existence as the (iirls' School of Kusaie. It is a littlecottage, about 10x30, containing two rooms and an attic, ami surrounded on thre'c sides by a wide veranda. In the attic the girls sle-ep, all but six, who flow over into the room which they use during the day for a school room, and general living room. My bed occupies the front veranda and our dining table another corner of it. YoU know it is healthy to sleep out of doors, but with as much rain as we have, especially when the- wind helps drive it in everywhere, 1 sometimes wish I had a place where 1 might keep out of it. The front room of the cottage is Miss Wilson's ami my sitting room, hut it often has to be used for other purposes, owing to the stnallness of the house. Miss Wilson has a little shanty to herself, about with a thatched roof. She slept al first in our silling room, but the girls make so much noise turning over in the night, that she geit no rest at all, and was growing very nervous, so about a year ago we hail this little sheel put up for her. 1 have' one little' cubby hole lo invsi'lf; a part of the' veranda, lOx6, being inclosed. In this I have my dressing room, mv writing table, and all the sewing materials fe>r the school. If you think its not crowded, just conic and see. But it is Hotter than nothing at all. Beyond the house proper is a little dolly house kitchen. You know my arms are pretty long. Well, 1 can stand in front of the (ire. ami reach nearly everywhere in that kitchen. When two persons are insieTe it, it is full, and if more come in they overflow. Strange' to say, it is not nearly as hot as one might expect. It has two doors, and two window holes, for there are no windows, only blinds to keep out the rain, and it is not ceiled overhead. The girls have their own cooking sheel anel eating house which is only a roof ami a fleior. In rainy weather it is wet and disagreehle, and at any lime the chickens think it was made especially for them. 'Thus Mt have lived nearly two years now, anel yet I am no grayer and no thinner than Wheit YOU saw me on mv way down., If you ask nie' what we do, and how WC manage I hardly know. The ne-rvous strain of working in this way is great, and probably both Miss Wilson and will begin to show it vei \ soon. In fact I think we do already. But the constant noise is something terrible and yet the girls are not excessively noisy. It is only that there are too many of them for the place. We have forty-one' girls living in the house with us, and two young men who spe'iiel most of their lime here except nights. .Also one small boy who conies to school every day, making forty four pupils in all.

Do you remember once telling me that at hoarding school you hail to have recreation day on Monday to ge-t resle'd after Sunday?

I trievl to drop it a while back, but they did not think they could possibly get along without help and there is nei cmc else to help them at this time.

It is the object of the Mid-I'uciflc Institute to take those elements of our population which by tradition und habit! of life are furthest removed from American Christian ideals, and by the iulliience of a Christian home, by ennobling environment and educational forces to make them useful, intelligent citizens, able to appreciate the blessings of political liberty and of the truer and greater liberty of a life in Christ. This institution will work in hearty cooperation with the forces already at work anil will, in a large measure, fill the gap in our present system of private schools by provieling for those races not already provided for. The industrial work will be along lines laid down in government institutions, and the agricultural work, so far as possible, will be preparatory to that of the proposed Agricultural College. Thus it will be a valuable addition to the educational forces of Hie Territory, bringing its influence to bear upon hundreds of homes and lifting thousands lo higher standard of life. THE OUTLOOK TOWARD THE MAIN' LAND. B finding a satisfactory solution to her itional and social problems, Hawaii has eted considerable attention from the lnnd when similar problems have become fious. In the eyes of many Americans, tii has nchieved the impossible, she has proven that the Occident and the Orient will fuse; she hns proven the superior strength of Christian education over superstition and tradition; she has shown that kind and goner ous treatment will receive a like lesponse. And those facts will have a decided historical value, for they must enter largely into America's future policy with the Orii'nt. The rich and rapidly growing eoinmei-i c of the I'acilic is coveted by America, but, owing to a mistaken policy, it is slipping from her grasp. Americans have spent millions on for eign missions in China and Japan, but the hostile attitude of ei'rlain sections toward the Orientals has neutralised much of the good done by the missionaries. America will not permit a blunder to become a permanent impediment to her progress, and the mistakes of the past and the present will be corrected when condition! are properly mi lerstood. Hawaii has faced and mastered these same conditions and, with a perfect understanding of them, stands today as the International Schoolmaster of the Pacific, teaching the nations the blessedness of charity and fair play. The Mid Pacific Institute is destined to take a prominent part in this general educational work. The schools of which it is composed have already done much toward bringing together the East anil the West in this Territory, they have exerted a salutary influence in China through their former students, and they have sent to America splendid specimens of Oriental youth wbn have made most favorable impressions and given to many a more correct opinion of Oriental rhara iter. With increased capacity and better equipment, the Mid-Pacific Institute will be able to multiply this usefulness in bringing these great peoples to a better understanding of each other. Mtd-PscMc Institute: Tiir„in* the Sod lor the Fir* THE OUTLOOK ASIA-WARD. A member of the Japanese Parliament, who has recently visited Hawaii, has left this graceful and satisfactory testimony: ''This is a beautiful count ry and the most astonishing thing that I have learned during my short stay here is the harmony which exists in this cosmopolitan town, where nearly every nation of the earth is rei,resented. I will report favorably to the home government on the conditions and the treatment of the Japanese residing in Hawaii."

Our doors should open in welcome not only to those who are already here, but to other eager students from their home lands, who may seek further knowledge in this favored spot. Here is to arise a school, set in the midst of a landscape of surpassing beauty, in a climate of unusual charm, from which we trust will go forth a long Succession of those who shall be indeed "heralds of truth" to the millions of Asia.

EARLY DAYS AT KAWAIAHAO. ByLBidnghamCoan. Aug. 3rd, 1840, a little girl saileel away rom Oahu with her parents, who for twenty cars had been faithful, laborious mission ries on these shores. Over the waves came i plaintive sound. It was the wailing of a niiltitude of once heathen people as they On departing barque, bearing from hem their pnstor and their teacher. Is it ny wonder this child held in kindly remeinirance these natives so devotedly attached to ier father and her mother! As the Venn went on her life was marked by varied providences—one very striking one was a call lo return to her native land to conduct a boarding school for Hawaiian girls. Forty-si« years ...ore her mother began the lirst school ever established ill these Islands. Wliy should she not take up the work that blessed mother would have loved to carry ont Resigning her position, that of Principal of the Ohio Female College, near Cincinnati, she embarked at Boston, on boarel Morning Star No. L', then uniicr command of Rev. H. Bingham, Jr., and after a voyage of four months around Cape Horn, landed at Honolulu, in March, 18G7. She looks back eat,lied the now over these past forty years and tries to recall some of the scenes and experiences of the far-away days of small things. Four buildings stood within the enclosure now occupied by Kawaiahao Seminary. Two were in front; these were the old bindery of the mission, and a dwelling house, that had in turn been the home of the Shepherds, the Judels and the Clarks. In the rear was thesomewhat imposing coral-stone building that had been the Mission's printing house, from which Bibles and hymn books nod school books hail been issued in great numbers. Not far away stood the quaint litlle adobe structure, that in the earlier years had been the school house for missionaries' children. The bindery and the printing house were the property of the American Board, and were kindly offered for the use of the new enterprise. The dwelling house belonged to Rev. E. W. Clark and was at that time occupied by Dr. L. H. (lulick, then Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. He and his noble wife had been active agents in the project now being started. In the largeness of their hearts they had taken into their home and under their care two little girls, children of Hawaiian Missionaries in the Marquesas Islands; a halfwhite, whose father was a sea captain; a halfChinese, daughter of a Honolulu Chinese merchant, and two older native girls, who were their helpers in domestic work. This wns the nucleus of the school. Bindery and printing house had long been unused as such, anel were somewhat dismal in condition. Through the thoughtful kindness of members of the Cousins' Society (the H. M. C. S.) a room in the bindery, approached by stairs on the outside of the house, was put into comfortable shape for the new teacher. At a later day when paint pots, in further attempts at improvements on the premises, were in evidence, she watched her chances when workmen were gone at close of day, to apply their brushes to the begrimeel door and windowcasings. Adjoining rooms were afterwards made ready for occupancy of ten or twelve girls. The school room was in the basement of the printing house. The flooring was partly in wood, partly in coral stones, upon which the heavy presses had stood. More or less the boards were rotten anil broken, but Ponape mats spread over them were safe guards against sprained ankles. The thick but somewhat porous walls, aforetime white washed, were stained with mould. It was not •in especially attractive place either as school room or dining room, which it had also to be for the boarders. A spacious apartment on the first story, with windows on its four sides seemed to be a general storage room for empty boxes, for rubbish and for plastering that fell from the ceiling at every firing of The salutes from the guns on Punchbowl. teacher early had her eye on bis room and a craving desire in her heart to have it put in repair and made a suitable "assembly hall." Very kindly the Hawaiian Board made a grant to carry this into effect. A elonation from friends in the States furnished means to procure desks and benches —plain, simple furniture, made in a Honolulu carpenter's shop. The second story, in course of time, came under consideration as a jdace that could bo made (if there were money to do it) a suitable dormitory for the youugcr pupils. Her,- aguin the kindness of friends came to the aid of the scheme. The Ladies' Benevolent Society in addition to paying the salary of an assistant teacher, voted the money needed for the dormitory. A trap door," reached by a permanent step-ladder, opened into a uarg nttic above this room. It offered closet facilities—a place to put. 9 trunks anel to hang clothing, but its unlightcd depths n.adc trouble. A curpcnter was consulted and would put in a dormer window for thirty dollars. The next mail from the coast brought that amount unsolicited. On the withdrawal of Dr. and Mrs. Gulick from the school, the Principal assumed the burden of paying the rent for tho Clurk house. When this came to the knowledge of Miss Atherton, sister of Hon. J. H. Atherton, she very soon set herself to the raising of funds for the purchase of the property. It was then deeded in trust to the A. B. C. F. M. Kinelncss unmeasured and favors unnumbered filled the records of those days and put the Seminary on foundations that have not failed it. It was a little acorn, planted in missionary soil, watcreel by some trials and tears, nourished by the prayers and gifts of many friends, protected and blest, we trust, by one who is our Master, even Christ. A vigorous oak, it is soon to be transplanted to the hills, to spread its branches under the sunshine, the showers and the rainbows of beautiful Manoa Valley. May the bli'ssing of the Lord I'ver rest upon it, and upon her through whose inunilicence it is to find its new home. THE BENEFIT TO THE JAPANESE OF MID-PACIFIC INSTITUTE. The question of education to meet the needs Japanese in Hawaii is causing much thought and eliscussion. We believe the problem will be solved by the Mid-Pacific Institute which will prove to be the "Silver lining to the cloud." Thirteen years ago, during my first month's work in Honolulu, I was shocked and uurprised to discover that Japanese children born in Hawaii hail no command of our language, but were using a mixture of three tongues— English, Hawaiian and Japanese. My first surprise was when I asked a young girl, "Why does not your mother come.'" In, girl replied, "Ale mamma hanahana yokonai." Of course I could not understand her, so the words we're interpreted by a friend, "My mother is too busy to come." 1 was astonished to find this to be the usual expressions of the Japanese children bom in Hawaii, and that these children could neither read, write nor speak Japanese. This thought worried and grieved me. At the earnest solicitation of the parents I decided to open 1 school in Honolulu for the instruction of our language to these young people. As the English training is most important, we were compelled to open our school two hours after the closing of the public schools. We now think that seven hours of lessons every day (five at the public, and two at the Japanese schools) is undermining the health of our children; we fear such a constant nervestrain may injure the development of the brain. We are tlerefore vrry thankful thnt this Mid-Pacific Institute will teach the languages, English and Japanese, in the regular school hours, and our children are to receive such a beneficial education. Manual training is of great importance to the children, in directing them to a useful future and in teaching them the American methods of labor. During the past ten years two hundred and seven children have entered my boarding school. Nine of them attendee! the High School. The Japanese parents are necessitated to enforce their children to take up some work for remuneration to help with the expenses inclined by thoir school life.

K. C. M. FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING. SOME GOOD THINGS FROM PBOF. 1. M. COX ON THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS A RELIGIOUS FORCE. It may now be fairly assumed that the American people are (irmly committed to the policy of excluding from the public schools any sectarian religious instruction. There hnve been times when it seemed that a strong and concerted movement might in places result in a elivision of the public money for education, a portion of it being diverted to sectarian schools. But the fact that in the entire history of American education such movements have uniformly failed of success seems to fairly establish tin irrevokable policy in public school education. Realising this unmistakable tendency, timid souls here and there have deplored the' increasingly liberal appropriations of money for public school education, have lamented that the schools are or must surely become godless schools, and have proposed makeshift devices to ameliorate a condition they have felt themselves powerless to remedy. Meanwhile the public school teacher, without argument or controversy, has gone stead ilv forward with his work. He has realized that the school is only one of many institutions working for the education of the child He has not sought to lesion the influence of the home, or the church, of libraries, finds him, has endeavored to utilize all that he finds of value in the child's life and ex W|hero the Influences have been perience. found to be perverted or defective the school has reached out in an effort to stimulate or counteract. The public school has broadcneel immensely within the memory of men now in middle life. While some people have been declaiming about the godlenunens of the schools, and the need of introducing direct religious teaching, the schools have been quietly adjustiii" themselvi'S f,i the situation, have set character as their highest aim, have broadened and enriched their courses for the sake of a larger ethical content, have called into service a class of men and woiimn better trained for their work, and have almost unconsciously undertaken to supply the defects of home and society. Restrictions on the giving of direct religious instruction do not appear to have worked the exclusion of religious influence. The relations of teachers •md pupils have become more cordial and sympathetic, and their daily Intercourse is on ■t much higher plane, as regards friendly CO operation and sympathetic helpfulness. Home ■md school have come into closer harmony. Even those who had been accustomed le teach in denominational schools ami who bid taken up public school work willi some mis dyings, have testified Hint they have f in practice that they are not hampered in giv ing the ethical nnd religions culture the child's development demands. The mind the child is the mind of i.riinitive man an It finds no ?rasps truths ill Hie elements. room for hair-splitting oiscriniiiiations or fine spun dogmas. In prohibiting sectarian re ligions instruction in public schools the lawhas but put a legal sanction on a pedagogic principle that had already become the prao lice of the best educators. The law, psychology, and the best print ice of teaching seem to concur in the doctrine that the school should avoid matters of controversy and confine their teaching to those broad truths ot ethics and religion that meet with the general acceptance of men. And surely this is no narrowly circumscribed field of effort. To teach children to le kind, punctual, industrious, persevering, cleanly, honest, truthful, loyal. obedient, is worthy of Hie best effort of the school, the dhiircb. and the home.

Arbor Day, Christinas, Easter, (he birthday celebrations of Whiltier. of Longfellow, of Washington and Lincoln are full of those things that mnke for spiritual uplift in the mind of the thild. There is wealth of material for ethical culture of the child in the fairy tales nsed in school, particularly in such tales as the fiermnns call Marchen, tales that have been used in the education of children generation after generation until the superfluous snd the objectionable have been well nigh eliminated. ~ Scriptures are excluded there remains much other literature that breathes the very spirit of th(! Hible. With the poets and orators of a vast literature furnishing an atmosphere of spiritual uplift our teachers do not complain of lack of material for an appeal to the spiritual side of the child's nature. And it is possible to find compensations in these very restrictions. It is often of advantage to teachers and others to be compelled to get out of the ruts. The usual appeals sometimes I,e,'nine hackneyed. Let him who would teach the lessons of truth and 'ovalty ami obedience, and who feels that he can no longer witli propriety take "Thou Unit not bear false witness' for his text, or appeal to the story of Ananias and Sapphira. let him once try reading from the Idylls of the King the store of the casting away of the sword and let him note the effect when he comes to that rebuke of King Arthur be ginning with the line, "This is a shameful thing for men to lie." The newness of I In' approach will count for much and the re soiirceful teacher will find a thousand and one unlooked for ways of getting lit a point. In a word, just so long us religion main tains a close relation with right living I venture the belief that there is very little in vital Christianity that may not rightly bo taught and practiced in the public schools. GLEANINGS FROM PRESIDENT A. F. GRIFFITH'S ADDRESS, NEW METHODS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The subject of this paper suggests that tihero may be something the matter with the obi method* in the Sunday school. 1 believe tlhat 1 can say that there are radical defects without appearing to be a fault-finder or a pessimist. The most sanguine of ns are not satisfied with the results of the work of the Sunday Schools in either of their great purposes: (1) mentions), in teaching ami studying the H Hible; (L 1) the religious, in the conversion of men to Christianity. We want still better results than we are getting. Our secular schools and colleges are complaining of the lack of knowledge of the Bible ■hewn by the young people. Not long ago we gave a set of simple questions to the students Of Oahu College. I looked over the papers of the two upper classes which contain boys and girls about seventeen or eighteen years i»f age who came from Sunday schools all Over the Islands and from churches of vari- ous denominations. It has to be admitted that there was much lack of knowledge, not to say ignorance. Paul was quite generally made a disciple; David wore the coat of many colors, wrote the Songs of Solomon, was cast in the den of lions, and was also one of the twelve apostles. The things which were left unsaid and which showed unfathomable depths were perhaps the saddest part of it all. This condition of affairs is not, of course, confined to our children alone. Regretfully it is fairly general. The three things which will most surely and most completely effect a change are a teaching ministry and a curriculum of study which will be intelligently planned to better meet the needs of our Sunday schools which have students from the infant class to the aged, �THE FRIEND and a consecrated body of teachers, trained by the pastor, who will wisely teach !iich a course of study. 1. The Teaching Minister. If a church is large enough to employ two ministers, it is ideal if she call have a preacher and a teacher. If she call afford only one minister, his work in teaching should be just as important as his work in preaching and caring for bis flock. In particular the pastors should realize and assume the responsibility of seeing that the Bible is taught by properly trained pi'rsoiiH. lie must become a teacher of the teachers, leader ill Biblical interpretation and in si met ion. a QRADED itiri.-SE ol' STUDY, One of the crying needs of all Bible school! is a comprehensive and adequate course of si inly. The preparation of such a course is the work of experts. It should be planned with a view to bringing out the interest and to appealing to the intellect of the pupil at all stages in his development. It should meet his religious needs. It should be founded on the Bible, but other mutter should 1 c included. The revelations of Cod wherever they appear should have u place. Biography and geography, literature and science should contribute. The present fragments should be replaced with a course which has progression and interrelation, Everything should be brought to be-ar in the illustration of vital truth. THE TRAINED TEACHER. Tin- teacher is the essential factor of this scheme. It is not enough that we have consecrated teachers; we must have ennsecrated and trained teachers. Consecration, education and pedagogical training in the teachers wi almost make a school. OTHER NEEDS AND CHANGES. central idea worked out for the year. The pastor of the church is or should be the mov teaching. The spirit of her work and the atmosphere created by the way that the work is earrieel forward are important factors in establishing a proper religious basis. 7. Of all the snuin problems, which vex the soul of the Sunday school teacher, none worries more and seems less near a solution than the one of getting the pupil to study his lesson. (a) An appeal to duty on the part of some teachers to some pupils is sometimes enough. (b) The only sure way is to arouse interest not in the teaching of the lesson, not in the class, not in the school, but in the lesson itself. Clubs, class picnics, debates, sports may arouse n class pride, but these are means to the great end of a studious interest in the Bible. Amusing the class by stories or any resource makes the person in charge an entertainer and not a teacher. Plain pedagogy suggests that establishing some common ground between the pupil an,, the lesson is a first requisite. A skilful teacher will not be long in finding it but, i it cannot be found, it must be made. The lesson should be imbued with life by giving it an historical and geographical setting. An abstract lesson lacks interest; it must be concrete. If a parallel can be made between some event ill history with which the class is familiar or in their own lives, it will serve .1 good purpose. A certain delinite amount of study should be required. M. Most of our churches are poorly adapted to effective Sunday school work. Wo cannot easily change thiin; we call only plan for the future to pay more attention to the Sunday school room even if we bnve to leave off thl steeple. The church should have a specially planned room adapted to its size and lie,',ls. Thinking church people are convinced that Hible schools organized on some such lines as these are now an educational necessity. The church has no greater duty than to make sure that its Bible school by effective Organization, right methods and adequate equipment shall be prepared to do its part in th location and redemption of f hose who are soon to be the support of Christ's chinch on earth. In addition to these three prime needs, there are many other conditions which need remedying or changing; there lire new methods which may be applied; new idea? which may be introduced; reul ,lungers which must be avoided, and certain accomplishments which must be worked for and hoped A FEW HITS MADE BY PRESIDENT P.

He need not and except in rare instances, ought not to be the Superintendent of the Sunday school. A layman is better, but the Superintendent must know the pastor's plan and must carry it out. The teachers of the Sunday school must be another factor in the work. They cannot teach the pastor's ideal if they do not know it. Their training will depend largely upon the pastor's ri'iili/.ation of his own responsibility. The Sunday school needs to be carefully divided, a definite program for a year established, and the work of each Sunday carefully defined at least a year in advance. Suppose then that we divide the Sunday school into eight regular grades according to the ages of the members, adopting so far as possible the public school divisions. The following divisions suggest themselves: birth to 3 yearn 1.—Craillc Koll 2.—Tho Primary Class 3 to 6 3.—Tho Intermediate Class 6 to 8 (! 4.—The ram mar Class 8 to 12 5.—The Junior Class 12 to Hi 6.—The Senior Class 16 to 21 7.—The Adult Class 21 8.—The Home Class. Of course this division ennnot be arbitrary. They must overlap. Let DM take them briei one by one. The Cradle ReU. These little tots should be enrolled at birth and the mother given their certificate oi membership. Their names can be placed in the Cradle Roll Register, which might hang in the Primary room. A Church Album might contain the pictures of these little pen pie. Sometimes this would be a most vula able book in the library. A social for these title folks and their par ents should be given annually. On their birthdays, the Superintendent should send a letter to the mother and a card to the child. The Primary Class. This class should meet in its own room specially furnished with Kindergarten equip incut. Kindergarten methods should bo adopted. Two important agencies can be usi'cl in this grade memory and imagination. The chilel learns easily to commit nnd even though his understanding is limited, he can learn the Commandments, the Lord's Prayer. short texts, the 23d Psalm, and some simple hymns; all of tlieui should be explained for the child to understand. Little texts can be given ou little cards as, Be merciful, God is love, A !oft answer turneth away wrath, Bo patient, Jesus loves me. The most important of all are Bible stories told simply as a definite plan. A regular outline of stories from Adam to John's vision in Revelation should be made and certain stories fixed for each Sunday and the order kept. Little children will require very little material besides. The dramatic quality is emphasized. The stories will carry their moral lessons just as truly as the bent nursery tales. The Intermediate Class. This grade too should have a separate room or if not possible might divide a room with the Grammar grade. But each should meet around a separate table. This grade would amplify the work of the preceding division. Additional passages and hymns should be learned. The books of the Bible should be learned in order and the pupils instructed bow to find references. �THE FRIEND 12 Then the Bible story telling should be an important part. The same general plans aa in the former grade, but the stories amplified many more added and the pupil encourage! to tell the- stories to the class. Note books might well be kept.

The study of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Ahab, Elijah, Neliemiah, Jesus. Paul, Peter, will be the study of the history of biblical limes. Heroes always best illustrate their times. The Junior and Senior Departments. These two depart incuts should meet in the' main room. The opening service should be short but made a very important feature. Suppose live different subjects be taken: The Church Creed, The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, The L'ilrd Psalm, and The Beatitudes. Let one be recited each Sunday by all in the room. This would make it possible to have each subject ten times during the year. Then let the Superintendent or the pastor take five minutes, not more, to explain a tenth of the selection recited. By the end of the year e'lich of the five would have been carefully considered and the school have n conception of the whole, impossible to begot in other ways. The conversation method may be developed. The Juniors mid Seniors may be questioned extempore. 'I his can be made very attractive ami Instructive. But this method must be used with care. Every tendency towards coming to the Sunday school without preparing the lessons, trusting to extempore questions must be speedily checked. If not, the lessons will lend to develop into desultory talks. These two grades are in ninny ways tin most important of all. They are the classes that are usually the smallest. The younger pupils of the Sunday school come because they are told. They often (ears to love to go. But these upper grades do not, as a class, have to go. Some do, but more do not. They are at the age of greatest unrest, the eritica age. For boys of this age, a man is needed.

This association has been formed with re- markably clear and carefully prepared papers by the ablest educators of the Territory. We have all listened with keen interest to their suggestions for developing the Sunday school. The excellent ailvice that has been given must necessarily largely apply to city Hunday schools or to rather thickly settled rural districts, and especially where the church can obtain many ellicient weirkcrs. The majority of our Sunday schools in this Territory have an inadequate supply of teachers, and ofte ly a single room in which to hold classes. The ri'sult is that there are usually only two classes in each school—one for adults and one for children. Under such conditions how enn we do more effective serried I should like to give three simple, prac- tical rules which, if followed, will improve our Sunday schools remarkably. should our Christian children bo taught to give systematically through the Sunday school, to which is entrusted so much of the religions training of the modern child.

I have known of Sunday schools, however, that give largely to every one who asks of them, and than tire too poor to buy SVCD lesson cards for the children.

I am now nine days at sea from Boston, on my way to attend the World's Fifth Sunday School Convention to be held in Rome, Italy, May iBth-23rd. We have chartered this large steamer to carry this load of delegates to Rome. We have 325 delegates on board this vessel. There is another ship—the S. S. "Neckar"—which is taking a load of eklegates, starting from New York. On this latter vessel is Mrs. E. B. Waterhouse and her four daughters, all bound for the Rome Convention. MrsWaterhouse is one of our most devoted Island Sunday School workers. I am already having a feast of good things on board this ship. We have with us the foremost Sunday School workers in America and in Canada. Every day we have' two or three sessions. It is not only doing me much good but people are asking me many questions about the Islands. It is bound to result beneficially to our Sunday School work. I have already put in an application for some Sunday School material which will be on exhibition in Rome. It is my elesire to have an exhibit which ban be taken all over the Islands, to show what is being done in the Sunday School world of today. I hope to return to Honolulu in July or August. If it is God's will, the er's customers had left him anel when he was compelled to leael an unprofitable life, the Holy Spirit had an opportunity to convict his dark, lying heart, too, and not very long ago we had the glorious ptivilege of baptizing the last one, formerly one of our most active enemies, cmc of the last original Nauru sorcerers. What a glorious time they must have had before the missionary looked after them! War was profitable to them, as their services were then very much required. Let me give you a short account of how war was managed down on Pleasant Island or Nauru. After war had been declared the first step was to offer sacrifices to the spirits of the tlepartcd members of the family and to the innumerable gods of war. Tabuarik was the name of the principal god of war while Tamamak, Kabwinan, Awiricria, Tagaburoro and the two female gods, E Roduwabin and E Dowen c, were his associates. Each district of the contending parties would select one of these gods to be theirs for the particular war which was about to commence. Sacrifices in the form of the heart of a young cocoanut tree or a bunch of young nuts would be offered to him at once. Often the fruit of the pandanus with leaves attached to it, tobacco (for seemingly Tabuarik did not object to a good smoke of "Niggerhead tobacco"), pork and fish would be offered also. If Tabuarik or any of the gods were well feasted by the people of the district, he would come down with thunder, lightning and wind to| assist his friends. Lightning would I opposing party.

If they movcel (which often was done by an ingenious contrivance) it was a sign that the chief of their opponents would be killed in the- coming struggle, anel it woulel thus be easy tei overCOtne the enemy. If the people of a district decided to go into battle, a number of heathen priests would acceimpany them, keeping themselves, however, in the rear of the common people. This was very wise of them, as a stray spear (or in mi irr recent years a bullet) might hit them. When the contending "armies" were A in slight ni' each other tiring began. striking feature was that not many warriors got bit, or else the island would have been very cjnickly depopulated after the introiltiction of firearms. The amen mweacos, standing behind the lighting "armies," pretended to catch all bullets with small mats which they were holding up. If anyone dared to stand behind them, he was sure to die, as the priests had power only to protect those before them. The old style of fighting was somewhat different from the modern warfare. Three days' notice would be given before actual hostilities commenced. Ten of the strongest men in the respective districts were selected by each of the warring parties. These men put an Ekabina" (armor) on to protect themselves. This armor was made out of cocoanut fibre. Their only weapon was an "Eragow," a sort of a long and very heavy spear made from cocoanut wood. Each fighter was attended by about ten other men who were armed with shorter spears called "Ekado" or "Ewere." These men wore a somewhat inferior armor. When a certain number of the strong men had succumbed, their friends would give up the fight, considering themselves vanquished. Women who were in a certain delicate condition were not permitted near the battlefield. The warriors had to abstain from eating fish as long as the war lasted. It was considered important to shoot as many women and children of the enemy as possible to prevent his increase. (To be Continued.) Hawaii Cousins A most interesting meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society was held at the hospitable home of Mrs. A. Francis Jiultl em June ist, at which a charter for the Society was aeloptcd. Papers of reminiscence were read by Dr. W. D. Alexander, W. O. Smith and Mrs. C. M. Cooke. The latter was written by dear Mother Rice in her ninety-seconel year. All were exceedingly interesting and will be published. The remaining papers were postponed till another meeting. The music too was a rare treat; a trio on violin, piano anel cello, and a fine tenor solo by Philip Hall. A large company of Cousins with many welcome guests were present.

Bearing the re lation that it does to the entire Christian movement in these Islands, this Church holds the key position in the campaign of tin- future. It must hi' fortified and developed if the work entrusted to the Hoard for the Churches of the Islands is to he progressive and to realize its possibilities. The task is by no means light and imposes responsibilities that might well make any man pause before shouldering them. I hit they are vital to all our work The next logical step in the development of the Christian enterprise in Hawaii is to lead this great Church to fill till the promise of its position, its history and its constituency. That is the burden laid upon us who an- the heirs of the historic missionary conquest of these Islands and such changes in the disposal of men at our command, as our Master seems to indicate, are to he viewed from the stand point of the essential solidarity of the entire movement. For the work is one. I'he Hoard and Central Union Church arc each hut a part of it. Thus leaving a position in the former for one in the latter is merely a question of wise adjustment of the resources in hand. That the change involved in the acceptance of the call from the Church is the next duty has been made evident first by the prayer history which has issued in the summons, second by the spontaneity of the action of the Church, which, su far as I am aware, voted absolutely without solicitation or urging o*l the part of anyone, third by the assurances of personal cooperation from men who have hitherto not been active in its work, and fourth by the conviction that it is the Father's will. The policy of the Hoard has been clearly defined and justified, and its forces are so organized that the Secretary's office is now largely concerned with details. Expansion is certain because of the deep interest of the men who compose its membership. It is therefore a good time to pass the office over to other hands, and give first attention to leading our strongest Church into line, as a vital force in our campaign for �THE FRIEND 4 the Kingdom in this, the strategic center of the Pacific world. It is pleasant to think that there is to he no separation. We shall all be true yoke fellows in the future just as we have been during the past four years. In order that time may he afforded to make such arrangements as will be necessary for succession in tins office, it seems wise to take action now and I therefore tender my resignation as Corresponding Secretary and General Superintendent of the Hoard of the Hawaiian Kvangeli- cal Association to take effect SeptemIn doing this it is a joy ber 30, 1 <><> both to record my testimony to the ideal relations which have subsisted between since first you called mc to this service and to express my deep gratitude to you all for the uniform kindness, the affectionate overlooking of faults, the generous support and the noble Christian spirit which have characterized all your actions tovvlard me. It has been royal work done together for our Master, and Ile has richly blessed us. That you may be guided from above in the effort to secure His man for the special emergency created by this change and that the Great I lead of the Church may lead our beloved Hoard to constantly enlarging achievement for His Kingdom is the daily prayer of Your fellow comrade of the Cross, ~. Doid'.Mi'S SCUDDER. DR. SCUDDER AND THE BOARD. In May, 1902, Dr. Scudder came to us as associate with Mr. O. 11. Oulick in the Japanese work. It was not till January, 1904, that he became secretary and it is probable that no other three years in the Board's history have been crowded with such signs of progress and of promise. Briefly enumerated, these are some of the things we owe tinder (iod, to Dr. Scudder's leadership. The beginning of a better union of the churches of different nationalities on the Islands. Although there is much left to be desired here (due largely to a lack of appreciation on the part of the Englishspeaking congregations of their privileges and responsibilities as leaders) a big advance in this particular is a result of I>r. Scudder's efforts. The stationing of English-speaking "bishops" in different parts of the Islands, is almost entirely Dr. Scudder's work. This is a very wide departure from the Board's policy, especially in re- lation to the I lawaiian work. Already there has been time enough to see splendid results that have effected every side of the Hoard's enterprise. On Hawaii, Maui and Kauai the evangelists in the different languages are associated, encouraged, taught and generalled in the interests of Christ's Kingdom by these new leaders. The Hawaiian Churches particularly have felt the stimulus and have responded nobly. In connection with the foregoing it is entirely through Dr. Scudder's efforts that the American Missionary Association has lent so much financial aid to our undertakings. It has been the $8,000 a year from that body that has made possible in the securing of trained white leaders for Kona, Maui and Palama and has added many Japanese and Chinese evangelists to our field. Incident to this, through the appeals of the A. M. A., has been brought about a far wider knowledge of Hawaii and her needs on the part of Christians on the mainland. Dr. Scudder has had much to do with defining the relations of our Board with the American Board, particularly in the matter of land. Having always been identified with missions he has lent himself to die increased support among Island Churches of the American Board work. A new zeal that bids fair to be widespread has sprung up among the Hawaiian Churches. Having come to us in connection with work for the Japanese it would not be surprising if his influence were particularly felt in that department. I laving had unusual and recent opportunity to study die Japanese he has been able to deal with this very sensitive people. The Makiki Japanese Church has felt his encouragment and suggestion while it may be said that their new church might not have b.'en obtained without his aid. The Japanese Christian Club is his creation, and whereas it has not won the enthusiastic support of the Japanese yet it has a fine plant and excellent prospects. The Kozaki scholarship plan of getting new evangelists for this field is largely Dr. Scudder's, and small Japanese boarding schools in various places have been fostered by him till there are several prospective feeders to the Mid-Pacific Institute. This brings us to some very vigorous championing of the Mid-Pacific Institute. Dr. Scudder has enthusiastically stood in the fore front of this, the most signally hopeful Christian enterprise ever fathered by the Hawaiian Board. What will he the Board's chief joy and crown is entering upon a career of prosperity already coming into plain view. Kohala, Maunaolu and Hilo Boarding Schools have all felt the stimulus of Dr. Scuddcr's presence and heartily evinced sympathy. Not to attempt a catalogue of the Doctor's deeds and virtues it were well lo close with but a reference to the thoroughly changed character of the annual meeting, as well as the monthly meetings, of the Hoard. The Association meetings now arc planned to supply inspiration for the year. Helpful programs of deep spiritual significance bear immediately on island problems. People representing all our languages H" and jjt't profit. As lor the Hoard a marked improvement in order as well as great gains in efficiency are a result of Dr. Scudder's leadership. The best part of it all is that we are not to lose him. Contemplating his acceptance of the Central Union paastoratc, many "f us belonging to both the Church and the Hi,aril, felt that the interests of both would be furtherivl by his cnciunbencv. He will not become narrowed by accepting the leadership in this most important Church. The Islands will still feel his interest plus the growing interest of the powerful body of believers, never fully enlisted before in the cause of Christ as it is related to the native and foreign peoples in the Islands. As for Till-: FXIEND, for which paper he has dune such effective service as editor, we gladly hail the prospect of his riturn to continued leadership. T. R. REV. B. V. BAZATA. The islands lose another man who has ecu of great benefit to the Churches of our Protestant community. Mr. Bazata has been pastor of the Union Church at I'aia, Maui, about two years, and from that important center has exerted an influence which has been felt far and wide. For family reasons, however, he felt that i he must return to the coast. After thorough consultation with his Church his resignation was accepted and a council of the neighboring Churches was called on July 11, 1907, to consider and, if advisable, ratify the action of the pastor and his Church. After a hearty expression of the harmonious feeling existing, the council recognized the necessity of Mr. Bazata's return to California, and voted to dissolve the pastoral relationship. It is not easy to find tried men of great worth for these apparently out of the way stations.

Tlicir civilization is ancient, and deeply inwrought into their mental and moral liber.

By F. W. Damon. "The Gospc] takes the whole man and develops the best in him." ill X KM r vtion.vi. I MSTINCT. Tin- history of humanity is interwoven with the development of i's educational systems. Like a golden thread runs the long story of man's upward struggle towards these high ideals, which arc as guiding stars to our race. Following the divine monition and the inward gleam, and impelled by the necessities of his being, man has sought to devise those means and methods which shall best fit �THE FRIEND the individual to develop most perfectly and successfully the powers that are within him: to draw From his environment, so far as possible, the wealth of its resources; lo contribute to the good of the man} as of the f< to eh vate and lii'u-lit humanity and to piss on to succeeding generations the evef-increasing light of discovered knowledge. In these ihHi itnt educational systems widely varying standpoints have been taken, numberless have been the methods siiggi ted and followed. Some have scare, lv risen above a merely material basis, seeking the quick satisfaction of mere outward needs, lacking much of the liner altruistic quality, While others have risen high and sought to beiiefil and up' lift along certain lines and yet have nol s light the finest training of the spiritual nature, without which the stimulus and inspiration to the largest and noblest action is lacking.

If we nail history, we find that ihe decadence of the great empires ol the past began with the decadence of their religions and the acceptance of low id.als." Dr. Lyman Abbot in a striking essay, entitled, "(an a nation have a re ligion:" says. "Il would be difficult t< mention a political philosopher who hat nrc or less distinctly recognized religion as al once the foundation of tile state and the inspiration of its life."

One taking a broad itol 11 7 and historic view finds as a result of his observation, "The religious races in general are the expanding and achieving niies.

If these results (ierinan are Hue in the nation, the great aggregation of individuals, how essential is it, of what paramount importance is it. that careful training should be given along these lines which will ensure its success aud perpetuity !

Surely no finer product of our best educational systems could be found than William Gladstone, conspicuous in scholarship and statesmanship, who has given iis this valuable opinion: "The Christian idea, taking possession of man at the center and summit of his being, could not leave the rest of it a desert, hut evidently contemplated its perfection in all its parts. I appeal to those great and comprehensive words of Saint Paul, which may have been a prophecy not less than a precept, and which enjoin us to lav bold on 'Whatsoever things arc true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things arc just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things arc of good report.'

When the rainy, season was over great joy prevailed among the hungry people. Little fish had been during the whole season. caught As the peo- ple live principally on cocoanuts and fish, they missed the latter very much. The high surf and heavy westerly gales prevented the frail canoes from launching out upon the deep. But now, as the wind had gone back to tli;c right quarter, north to east, all was well, for three days the fishermen would watch the ocean. They could now live On the beach only, away from wife and children. Women had to keep away from the beach. On the third day the whole fleet of canoes would proceed to sea. No attempt to lish near the beach was made. The first step was to hunt up drifting logs, of which there generally were many far out at sea. Around these logs most of the valuable fish gathered. While on their way the fishermen were not permitted to speak, only incantations were chanted. When near a log, two or three fish, never more, would swim towards the canoe. The "eani" had sent them to find out whether the fishermen were good or bad men. If a fish found that a man who had not separated himself from his wife during the past three days was in the canoe, they would not jump in Ihe peculiar net. called "Ihihon," which was held up, but if all was well, the) would.

The large single canoe, not the pcleleu, or double canoe, was equipped and at early dawn Father Gulick and his little son and three or four canoe men set sail from Kaluaaha for Lahaina. Naught but a bird on the wing could fly more lightly than a single canoe before a fair wind. With the rising of the orb of day, the breeze freshened and the flying shell touched lightly the crests of the rising waves. In a sudden puff of wind over went the outrigger, the canoe was upset, and all were 9 struggling in the waves. The little boy, where was he? Nowhere to be seen. Down dove Paaluhi, and, freeing the lad from entanglement iv the ropes of the canoe sail, brought him up and set him upon the rounding bottom of the capsized canoe. The aquatic Hawaiian soon righted the canoe; then it was discovered that the thin and frail craft had been cracked from end lo end by the leverage of the heavy mast and sail, which belonged to the double canoe, and which had been borrowed by the canoe men for this trip only. Xo headway could he made by paddling a canoe full of water, lor two or three hours this company of live or six people were battling hopelessly with a strong wind and dashing waves, perhaps six or eight miles from land. At this point the weary swimmers descried an open whale-boat, which three or four hours later than the illfated canoe was crossing from Molokai to Lahama, laden with bundles of pai-ai (hard |)oi). These boatmen saw the signal of distress of the wrecked canoe, bore down for them, and, lightening their load by throwing into the sea a pari of the cargo of poi, and taking on board the distressed company, soon landed them safely at Lahaina. Willi the delicate instruments, and the superior skill of the good doctor, the castor-oil bean, source of all this trouble, was soon removed from brother Thomas' car, and ere many days the thankful father and son returned to their Molokai home. Months, or perhaps years, later I heard father rehearse this thrilling story of escape from the hungry deep to one of hi> fellow missionaries, bather Thurston, and I saw the tears of love and sympathy that the older missionary shed on bearing of the watery trial tint had befallen the Molokai brother. Such was the sympathy that knit the American Foard's missionaries into one successful and triumphant band. Little do we know where the resting place for our frail bodies is ordained to be. These two Gulicks were saved that day from a watery grave. Thomas sleeps in the soil of Kijabe, 300 miles inland from Mombasa, in the heart of British Fast Africa: while Father Gulick and his lifelong partner, our devoted mother, after spending their last years with their missionary children in distant Japan, were laid to rest under the whispering pine trees in Kobe, near the shore of the Inland Sea.

The form of amusement and recreation merely takes different forms in different grades of society according to the training and environment of the people. The club feature is strong in the Settlement scheme. Besides a social, it has an educational value. .Athletic clubs nut only teach a boy clean athletics and give him a certain'amount of exercise but also teach him deference to the wish of others. The boy soon learns in the club that he is one of a social group and' if he desires to live in peace and harmony with Ids group he must learn to give and take. In (his way he is taught the great lesson of obedience to the wishes of his fellows and to the organized forces of government. The Settlement acts as a center where people of like tastes may meet and exchange thoughts and ideas and in Ibis way "help each other on." (.\) RELIGIOUS AND MORAL. This has been placed last as it is really nut only the culmination of the others, but also the combination. Not all Settlements have direct religious teaching; they arc none the less religious in their influence. In connection with those settlements thai have religious instructions, the usual methods are employed; Sunday Schools aud Church services arc held on Sunday. The people, however, arc prepared f'>r these services and classes by the work that has been done for them during the preceding six days. They come gladly and will dv to hear the gospel of the Xazarene. This gospel has lost none of its force to attract and bold men. The fault is not with the gospel, but with the method of presentation. When presented as it is by the Settlement, not only on Sundays but throughout the week, its old power and force to draw men—even in the shuns to it. is as great as ever. In depicting the last great scene in the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew, when all the world would he gathered before •die tribunal from which there will be no appeal, the lest laid' down by the Master Was not one of creed or dogma; it was not one of churchmcmbcrship or affiliation; it was not even one of belief, hut of kind deeds. "Inasmuch as ye did it (did it not) unto one of these mv brethren, 'even these least.' ye did it (did it not) unto me." This is the religious ideal the Settlement is trying to instil into the people of the shuns of kind forebearance toward Others; of good will to all, whether capitalist or labor leader —together with those qualities that go to make a clean, healthy, law-abiding and'honest citizen of either this great republic or any other. It not only helps the people of the shuns to a higher view of life, but it also gives the wealthy classes a broader and more sympathetic view- of humanity. TEACH THE BIBLE IN THE DAY-SCHOOL. HOW TO By A. M. Merrill. As an introduction to what I may have "How to Teach the Bible in the Day-school," allow me to say that I consider the general subject for discussion at this conference well chosen. Il is, without doubt, one of the most important problems of this or of any age, and upon its solution depends the success of the age, the destiny of the Church as an organization, and the fate of all social institutions. 'Hie decay of the races and ihe doom of the nations whose ruins now strew the earth was invariably preceded by and, in fact, caused by their inability to find an effective solution to the problem of religious and moral education. And like causes doubtless produce like results. As to the present age, a review of existing conditions leads us to question the efficiency of our accepted system of education and to desire a more satisfactory solution of the problem. The general unrest and increasing discontent among all classes of society, social disorders, civic unrighteousness, commercial and industrial conquests, and the struggle for supremacy in all lines of activity and in all walks of life—these may he the manifestations of noble aspirations in the hearts of men, hut they show alarming symptoms of being undirected or misguided. The spirit of the age is plainly shown in the educational slogan of the masses, "Fearn more, earn more," and in the fact that many institutions of higher learning have caught the spirit aud aie emphasizing the utilitarian at the expense of the humanities, We have come to consider education in general as susceptible of a well defined division into (i) Secular Education and (2) Religious Education. The government schools of many States, by common consent of the patrons, owing to differ cnees in religious beliefs and doctrines, are restricted' to secular education; religious education being left to the Church. It is evident that live days of systematic training in strictly secular branches is quite out of proportion to the one day's religious training, often unsystematic 01 entirely neglected, and that the resttlt must be the development of a big head and a small heart, or keen wits and dull sensibilities.

Dawson, of Clark University, lo increases and reaches its maximum with Religious education, in hensive speculative theology, scholastic theology and moral theology. The first and second of these may with propriety be left to the Church, but the third comes well within ;be scope of popular education and is absolutely indispensable in the making of good citizens, which is the prime object of government institutions of learning. The fear of doctrinal offense in teaching the Bible in the day-school is largely imaginary. A judicious elimination ol doctrinal questions, articles of faith, and all speculative subjects, still leaves a wonderful volume of most interesting and most helpful material. There is but little to inspire doctrinal controversy in Mililc biograph) or Bible history, in the decalogue or the Sermon on the Mount, in the Psalms of David or the ethnical maxims or practical proverbs of Solomon. Hut there is abundant material for the inculcation of all moral virtues, material suitable for all stages of life, by which the child may he led by proper and rational step! through his own heroic, romantic, poetic, and philosophic ages, with the name of (ioil ringing in his cars, the thought of (rod lingering in his mind, and the love of God entering his heart. The same spirit that inspired the F.ook and has preserved it through the ages may be trusted to make its own interpretation to the heart of the child and accomplish that whereunto it was sent. We arc taught that the life of each individual is an epitome of the history of the race, and that each stage in the life of the individual has its corresponding period in racial history. Whatever has been of general interest to the human family, from its birth to the present time, will be of special interest to the individual while in the corresponding stage of life. Leading educators during the past quarter of a century, recognizing this principle, and believing that the spontaneous interests of the child are the expressions of a stage of life and indicate fundamental needs and aptitudes, have spent much time in studying child interests with a view to the more systematic arrangement of the materials and methods employed in the development of mind and character. The play interests, literary interests, historical interests, geographical interests, musical interests, ethical interests, —all have been studied, and as the years in which the several interests develop and culminate are determined the gradation of lesson materials is adjusted to meet them.
