Help us to know the meaning of pure faith Amid the tangled maze of scientific thought. The most important political event of the month was the inauguration of exJudge W. F. Fretr as Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. lie is a man of considerable experience and sound judgment and will attend to the duties of his office carefully, faithfully and earnestly. The greatest part of his life has been spent in these island's. His official position as Chief Justice has given him an excellent opportunity to understand island matters. His sterling integrity, which has been thoroughly proved in the past, assures a continuation of the thoroughly honest administration of affairs It is so easy not to see the stars Behind the darkness which the clouds have brought. Be patient with us Lord, our waywardness Deserves the swift correction of the rod; Bat oh, in tender love of Fatherhood L'nfold to us the truth which comes from God. W. D. W. It is no slight thing for Hon. John G. Woolley to forsake the green pastures and larger flocks of the central United States to make his home for a time in �4 I lis life has been preeminently that of a reformer for mam years. In recognition of acknowledged ability he was made the candidate of the Prohibition party for President of the United Stales. His literary acquirement! procured for him the highest degree conferred upon scholarly men, that of Doctor of Laws, lie comes now to an entirely new field and one which cannot give an enthusiastic response to the tine thought and eloquent periods which have attracted crowds of bearers in the past. Outside of Central Union Church there are no large congregations. Only handfuls of English speaking people can be gathered together in the outside towns and districts. There will be deep-seated appreciation, but the response to burning thoughts must come from individuals rather than from crowds. Mr. W'oolley will take a prominent place on the editorial force of The Friend and will conduct a Temperance Depart nient which will glisten with suggestive the Hawaiian Islands. THE FRIEND for a renewal of his license refused on account of the proximity to the kinderfallen. But he wants to get in his blows Inst so he protest- against the kindergarten, lie seems to thmk that the school demoralizes tM customers of his saloon. So he says "he cannot stand the behavior of the children on the opposite side <>f the street. While he could endure the noises from the drunken people in his saloon, lie will not tolerate any noise at all from the opposite side.' The man is apparently honest in thinking that a saloon should be protected from those who would prepare a counter attraction to keep the children out of the doors of bis den, worth while to look back over the years which have passed since the Board was organized' and note the path it has traveled and its slopping places before finding its permanent home. 'Hie llawaiians who are interested in the Hoard's work compare the different places in which the Hoard's meetings have been held to the seven days of the week. Thus the Sabbath typifies the time when anxiety and unrest are over and the permanent day of rest is found. The senior member of the Board, our revered Dr. Bingham, says that the first gatherings of the members was June a3i HI the old Mission school house in the Kawaiahao Church grounds, south of the Mission cemetery. This is one of the oldest mission buildings in the islands and was occupied by the school which Mrs. Bingham I Dr. Binghams' mother) taught for years. It was also the place where the annual meetings of the missionaries were held This property belongs to Kawaiahao Church. The officers elected at that fust meeting were: President, Rev. Titus Coan ; Vice-President, Dr. (i. P. Judd; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. L. 11. Gultck; Recording Secretary, Rev. E. W. Clark: Treasurer, E. O. Hall: Auditor, J, P.artlett. In 1867 the Hoard was holding its meetings in the lower story of the old book binder) which stood on what are now the ground's in front of the southern portion of Kawaiahao Seminary. From these quarters the Hoard moved to a coral stone building west of the old mission house known as "The Chamberlain House." This building was later a part of the first store of Castle ft Cooke. Rev. A. ( ). Forties became the corn' gponding secretary and persuaded the iard to build him a dwelling house on Beretania street in which to carry on the Hoard's work. A small cottage was erected in the grounds for the papers, books ami meetings. This building was some distance from the center of the city —hence only the regular meetings were held' there as a rule and the called special meetings in different places near the business offices.

When the Japanese government purchased the half of the block in which the Hoard rooms were situated for use by its consular offices, the Hawaiian Hoard was without a home. Mr. P. C. Jones, the President of the Hoard, felt the need of permanent quarters within close reach of business men, therefore wisely consulted with his wile, and with her advice and aid gave to the Hoard the fine business block which it now occupies as its permanent home.

One of these is rented and one is used as a sales room for the books ot W, D. W. the Board. if the public of thoughtful men insists that Mr. Campbell has only stated dearly and frankly what others had apparently not though through. Then the adventurous spirit of man will try sonic other way of retaining the ethical and .esthetic value of Christianity while rejecting its historical facts and its characteristic doctrines. This I venture to think is going to be the chief function of Mr. Campbell's book. Signs are not wanting that already writers, who had triumphantly used (he phrase, "The New Theology" in expounding their own ideas of the immanence of Cod, are being driven back by Mr. Campbell's fearless exposition of his deductions from it. to make fresh con liections with the Christian consciousness.--( Rev. W. D. .Mackenzie. 1). D„ in Hartford : and deep experience, assertions which could not have produced that experience nor glorified those centuries. But at last a zealous champion, more zealous than discreet, states the bare facts. He authoritatively, officially commits the whole "school" to its conclusions, or to the explicit statement of doctrines which had been involved in its characteristic method from the beginning of its story. Such a book will usually be found to end that particular phase of thought. For any man after that to wear that title, as this one of "The Xew Theology." is equivalent to avowing himself a follower, say. of Mr. Campbell. It will be hard indeed after that to say, "I accept the \'ew Theology, but not Mr. Campbell's," Seminary Record.) LA IBERAL'S OPINION OF "HIGHER CRITICS." CHIEF FUNCTION OF CAMPBELL'S "NEW THEOLOGY." Sometimes a book with a bold title begins a real new movement of thought. This cannot be claimed for the work entitled "The New Theology." by Rev. Reginald J. Campbell of the City Temple, London. The movement with which the author identities himself had already been familiar for about fifteen to twenty years. Various writers in England and America had been shouting the phrase to each other, like wanderers in a mist looking for the road homewards, to keep up each other's courage. Sometimes a book which professes to interpret a movement thoroughly, ends it. The real tendency latent in the premises from which it starts becomes revealed in the frank statement of conclusions which only the enemies had hitherto attributed to it. These inferences had oftentimes been denied or they had been accepted with softening phrases and hazy modifications. Attempts had been made to retain the virtues of the old in the clothing of the new, to hallow with the sacred associations of long centuries 5 Professor Shailer Mathews is a distill guished member of the "liberal" school if theologians so prominent in Chicago University. To a great extent he accept? the conclusions of the critics respectine the ''id Testament, and considers their methods correct. < >nc is tlierefore glad to find him rejecting the allegation that the Gospel has been destroyed by such criticism as applied to the New Testament. Referring particularly to the testimony of the Apostles to the Bodil) Resurrection of Jesus, he says of the in •rcdiilous "critics": "'These conclusions ire not likely to prevail except among those who live in the highest altitude of the anti-supcrnaturalisni." "Tin- real difficulty is that such critics use as criteria nf their normative processes certain pre suppositions and ingenious guesses, as to what things are not and cannot be." 'Translating this into simpler English, Prof. Mathews means that these "advanced critics" are not governed by a plain and reasonable system of judgment. They are governed by a settled and fixed opinion that anything supernatural is necessarily imaginary and untrue. 'Thus they arrive at ungrounded and false con elusions. Instead of being, as they sup pose, wise and discerning judges of the truth, they follow deluding phantasms and become misleading and "destructive critics." Neither in the (lid Testament or the New, are the fanciful and fantastic conclusions of (these fallacious critics going to stand, however ingenious ma\ be their inventions to destroy the historical truth of the Bible. This is not saying that these industrious and ingenious searchers into the history and details of the Bible literature have not made important and valuable discoveries. Hut the false and truly irrational principle which is the guiding star of most of them has led them deplorably and fatally astray. That false principle is, as said above, that nothing purporting to be miraculous or supernatural can possibly be historically true. Into whatever vogue the "higher critic- ism" may ha\e grown among our American scholars.—and it is very great—it is .loomed to a certain and discreditable fall. The Hibli—with doubtless many human imperfections, being largely the work of man—is the Record of Cod's long and gracious personal interposition, by means of Miracle and Revelation, for the purpose <>f enlightening and saving His wayward and ignorant children on Earth. That glorious and gracious rec ird will continue to stand for our ligl t in,| comfort, when the fanciful dream 111 he '"Critics" have been forgotten. S. E. H. > THE GOOD MAN IS MY MAN. Kamehamcha 111 was a king gifted in epigrams. "Debt is a moth and nun is a poison god," is very forcible when .>.<• recall the historical fact that the early chiefs laid away many pieces of cloth received in return for sandalwood only to find them quickly destroyed by moths. The king learned that debt was as dc tractive to his prosperity as the moth -as to the cloth of his ancestors. Then he remembered Kalaipahoa- the poison god the reputed most powerful destroy Ile saw the destruction /r of his people. wrought to home and business and life by rum. Therefore he put the axiom: •Rum is a poison god." Pike unto this crisp wisdom is the saying which he applied to the choice of men for public office. He was beset by applicants. For the men of Hawaii loved office then even as they love it today. Influence was used for the appointment of certain persons. Kaineliaincha. however, to the surprise of his court, appointed other men. "Why did'you do this?" was the question. 'The answer came back giving the best principle upon which to base electoral ballots: "'The good man is my man." The day for the selection of party nominees is near at hand. Party leaders are even now preparing the slate for precinct action. A good campaign slogan for any party, especially strong in its influence among the native voters, backed up by honest effort, would be the king's cry: "The good man is mv man." W. D. W. �6 THE TRUE BASIS OF SOCIAL REFORM. Although known as-very "liberal" in hie theology, Prof. Shailer Mathews pre SCStta the following impressive contribu lions to Social Wisdom and Reforming efficiency: "The gospel of the risen Christ is also the gospel of regenerate men building the eternal life into a ft a ternity that must some day include all so cial relations." "Regenerate men are the only materials out of which to construct regenerate society." We believe that this is a most fundamental truth.

Society cannot be up lifted ill the mass, nor its corruptions cured as a whole.

'The Gospel of Christ bears the same testimony. < tur Lord Jesus closed his earthly life by dashing himself unflinchingly against the evil-doing of the proud leaders, and by bis truss healing testimony against the evil thing w Inch Cod abhorred. His death is the Divine Witness against the Wickedness of Sin. Let the Church ever maintain like test! mom. S. E. H. TAHITI AND HAWAIKI. A word sometimes outgrows itself and becomes large of meaning beyond all thai legitimately belongs to it. It becomes an inclusive word. This has been recognized as true concerning the use in the I la waiian Islands of the word "Tahiti," or as it is usually spelled "Kahike." Tahiti hundreds of years ago meant the same island as that which bears the same name today. The sea rovers from Hawaii went to Tahiti and returned even as from Samoa and the larger island groups toward the south. After several hundred years the mists of fable gathered around the slories which were handed down from generation to generation, until all for •ign lands received the general name Ka Prof. Mathews also sounds a deep fundamental note of Gospel wisdom in farther asserting that there is "need of a hiki. The New Zealand legends concerning sturdy insistence upon the sinfulness id sin." "'The pulpit has partly abandoned Hawaii under the name llawaiki. have attempts to arouse moral discontent in the human soul, and has been giving prominence to congratulatory descriptions of men as the sons of ( !od. Adiuir able as Ibis hopefulness regarding hu inanity may be, it will be a sad day for society if its moral teachers undertake to widen the straight gate and broaden the nariow way." "Society needs to be con vinced afresh of the elemental distinction between evil and good." "Knowledge is not virtue, and art is not righteousness." We feel that the emphasis placed by the "Xcvv 'Theology" upon the "Father hood of God" and tin- "Brotherhood of Man" has not escaped the damaging evil of minimizing the poisonous and con laminating qualities of Sin. While our God is a bather of tender compassion ami outreaching mercy, He is Holy, and cannot regard iniquity without aversion and condemnation. While men are made to be brethren and to love one another, yet there is contamination and poisoning with the morally leprous and unclean. Lot could not take his family to dwell in Sodom without their being In consorting poisoned and ruined. It is neither wis dotn or truth to set forth the amiable and pleasing facts of morality ami religion, and be reserved about the facts that are stern and dark.

The legends almost indiscriminate!) refer to llawaiki. Hut it was evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to the original home of the Polynesians in the region around the Straits of Sunda from which they were driven out by the Malays who conquered and dispersed them Over lite Pacific ocean, It was also evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to islands nearer New Zealand and to later migrations. The New Zealand writers have taken the word llawaiki as meaning one place from which the various migrations have come -and they find much difficulty in finding any place to correspond with the conditions of the various legends, It is a simple suggestion which, perhaps, we of the Hawaiian Islands have no right to make to the scholars of \ew Zealand and vet there seems to be no reason win the Word llawaiki should not be "inclusive."

THE WORLD'S FIFTH SUNDAY SCHOLCONVENTION. BY REV. E. B. TURNER. Rome, Italy, May 1007. There are a few experiences in some lives, that, beggaring description, statu I forth unique. The recent Sunday School Convention held in Rome was one ol these. And not the least asset of this experience, was the inspiring and subsequent trip through (lie Holy Land and Egypt. The purpose of this article is simply to report the Sunday School Convention the greatest Sunday School gathering in the history of the world. — Tor five days nearly [,300 delegates, countries, representing 4<> dc nominations delegates whose mileage would average nearly 9,00a miles met in the imposing Methodist building, with its large audience rooms for both American and Italian services, its college class rooms and doniitories, its offices, apartments and tine printing establishment. This splendid institutional center is prov ing to be a lighthouse which sheds its benignant rays over all of Italy. 'There was only one keynote of this world's convention and that was expressed over and over again—"'The Sunday School and the Great Commission." 'The SundaySchool must be the greatest missionary and evangelizing force in the world. This thought took concrete form near the close of the convention when occurred the most epoch-making event since the inauguration of the International System of Sunfrom 37 13 (lay School Lessons a generation ago. money were contributed to their work.

As he �THE FRIEND 14 concluded three cheers were given for the Garibaldis. Hon. Lloyd Grisoom, the American Ambassador to Italy, was then presented. Mr. Criscom is only in the thirties and is said to be the youngest ambassador in history. Mr. Criscoin said that he was like Paul, an ambassador in bonds, but different in this, that he was to keep the peace. He heartily welcomed his fellow Americans to Rome, and generously invited all the delegates from every land, to an afternoon reception at the Embassy. Mr. E. K. Warren, of Michigan, the President of the convention, then read a characteristic letter of greetings from one whom he called the great Peacemaker of the World—'Theodore Roosevelt. On Sunday afternoon G. Campbell Morgan preached the convention sermon front Mark 10:13-10, which he called, "The King's charter to all such as name his name and are called to serve him among the children." "Wherever you find men and women," he cried, "in whom the flame of desire for the coining of the Kingdom of God burns, you will find men and women who have time for children and care for them. The whole five days were crowded vv ith addresses by famous Christian leaders and' by Sunday School experts and missionaries from all quarters of the globe. Delegates from nearly all the principal countries of the world spoke for their respective fields. The writer had the honor of addressing the convention upon the subject of Hawaii. In many fields Sunday School work is yet in its infancy, and is carried on under the greatest difficulties. In Belgium there are only 2,300 scholars enrolled in the schools ; in Portugal, 1,750; in Tunis, 2,000; in Bulgaria, 3,000: in Spain, 6,500; in Egypt, 11,391. In many other countries the SundaySchools are growing rapidly. In Japan there are 64,000 in the schools; in France, 67,000; in India, 300,000; in Germany, in Creat Britain, 2,250,000 in free church schools, and 7,000,000 altoegther, hut not all are affiliated with the association. Last comes America with about 14,000,000. In making his report, Mr. William N. Hartshorn, the Chairman of the International Committee, said in part: "I am to speak for the army of the 14,000,000 Sunday School workers in the United" States. Our God whopi we worship is none other than the Lord God of Israel. Our creed, the Sermon on the Mount. Our practice, the twelfth of Romans. Our spirit, that of the Christ. Our purpose, that of service." 000,000; One of the most remarkable features of the entire convention was the remarkable exhibit of Sunday School publications and appliances which had been painstakingly prepared by l>r. C. R. Blackall of Philadelphia. Every paper, book, map or appliance was mounted, plainly displayed for study. 'The periodicals represented a total output of nearly 500,000,-000 pieces of printed matter in a year. 'There were 1,260 pieces from state and provincial organizations, 479 specimens of Bibles in various languages, 563 copies of books, portraying the latest Sunday School methods and the history of the great movement. Ami' the best thing about this fine exhibit was that at the close of the convention, it was all given away, gratis, to the different missionary countries of the world where organized Sunday School work is comparatively new. It w Jas Hawaii's good fortune to receive a large box of this most interesting and helpful material. Perhaps the most unique service of the convention was held in the ruins of the famous Colosseum on the afternoon of the last day. ( )f com se, we bad been told that such a religious meeting could not he held in the Colosseum, but in Christian service, as in the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such thing as fail. There, where the Christians were thrown to the lions and suffered martyrdom in great numbers, there, after eighteen centuries, assembled Christians from nearly every nation, to sing the praises of the Father (iod, whose worship the Caesars thought they were destroying forever. The World's Fifth Sunday School Convention taught many lessons. It taught that henceforth this branch of the Master's Kingdom must be more evangelistic and missionary in its character and that it must reach out to the boys and girls, the 'men and women of benighted lands. It taught that there must be a greater spirit of devotion on the part of all officers, teachers and scholars, the world over. Some one said to Miss Carihaldi: "You ought to feel very proud that you are a granddaughter of the great general." "I am," she said, "but I am prouder still that I am a teacher in the Sunday School." Would to God that that same pride would enter all our Hawaiian Christians. Although Honolulu was one of the cities to offer itself for the next World's Convention in 10,10, it is probable that either Washington, D. C, or Tokio, Japan, will capture the rich prize.

She passed away Sunday morning, September 29. Mar) Elizabeth Parker was next to the last of the old missionaries—Mother Rice still is with her household on Kauai. Mother Castle passed away last March as the spring brought its new life to the world. Mother Parker, with the fall time of withered leaves and gathered harvests goes home to meet her old and Mother Castle and very near friend. Mother Parker were so intimate during their lives that they were called David and Jonathan by their families. Mother I'arker came to the islands with the missionary hand May 1. 1833. In July, 1833, the Parkers went to the Marquesas Islands as missionaries, returning in 1834. Since that time Mother Parker never left the islands, until this last journey opened for her eternal delight. The large increase of interest among the Hawaiians in the private schools shows that the young Hawaiians who are too old for the government schools realize that they must gain a better education or go under in the battle for life.

Apparently Kilo and the adjoining district of Puna were settled ages ago by families closely connected with tlv islands of the southern Pacific Ocean. \',o other part of the Hawaiian Islands can give such an abundance of legendary lore which is Polynesian rather than Hawaiian. Almost every valley in all the islands has its own peculiar story, hut Hilo has the folk lore of New Zealand. Samoa and Tahiti grafted into its valleys and along its water courses. Maui, the demi god—the HercuKs of Polynesia—was thought to have his home on the banks of the Wailukj river, on which Hilo is located. His canoe, from which he fished the islands up from the ocean's depths, lies near the mouth of the river changed hit i stone. The Hilo natives tell the same marvelous stories concerning him, as are recorded in the folk lore of New Zealand and many of the other Pacific islands. Ilina was a goddess of the ancient Polynesians. Sometimes she wan known as Hina and sometimes as Ina. The names of Maui and Hina are prob ably more prevalent in the differert Polynesian groups than any others, except Wakca and Papa, who are usually considered the first of the human race. Ilina had her home in the cave under the picturesque Rainbow Falls, neac Hilo. Pele, the goddess of fire, is said by the Rarotongans to have Mahuike, the protector or guardian of fire through all Polynesia, as her grandmother. Mahuike was also Maui's ancestor. The Paao story of Hawaii and Samoa has its counterpart in Mew Zealand. From Paoo was descended the powerful priest family of the Hawaiian Islands, whose descendants arc among the most literary of the llawai ians of today. It would seem as if the southeastern portion of the island of Hawaii had been settled by a different set of Polynesians from those who finally found a home in the islands of Oalni and Kauai. W. D. W. mot �5 THE FRIEND EVOLUSTPINA,DESI EOUS R GNED. The famous plant-wizard, Luther I'.nrbank. recently lectured upon the cactus, telling how he had developed a new species of immense economic value, From the common plant of tlv. desert, which was fearfully spiny ami comparatively innutritions, he had, by means of patient and skilful handling, succeeded in evolving a thornle.-s species of cactus, which was both >f high productive capacity and of highly nutritious quality, while these immensely valuable fodder plants will grow, like their worthless ancestors, on nearly rainless deserts. Mr. Burfoank also meets the inquiry, win no such plants have been evolved naturally. All the Cacti of the deserts are cither dangerously thorny i,i else poisonously bitter. And thus was so simply because any variety ..f (he plant not so defended was at once devoured i>v the hungry and thirsty animals of the deserts, and had no chance tn propagate its species. Natural evolution could beget only such cacti as could in it be eaten. Now I'.urbauk has interposed wPh He .in intelligent Artificial Selection. applies the power of a Designing Mind It direct the hitherto merely Spontaneous Evolution. With the greatest patience and care he plants thousands of cactus seeds, tint of a thousand plants produced he may find one which is (hornless. From the offspring of this one. repeating his careful selections many times, he finally develops a descendant, which possesses all the choice qualities which he desires. The result of his patient labors is a new species of Cactus which is entirely thofnless. These plants will also p;roe. luxuriantly in the driest soils of the desert. Their productiveness is s vigorous, and their roots push to such depths, that they will starve out the native cacti planted in the same row*. At the same time Burbank's new cacti are so richly nutritious that cattle fed upon them produce the richest of milk and beef. And two hundred tons of such valuable fodder can be raised per acre from desert soils ! Thus the deserts are to be made to "rejoice and blossom as the rose." Herein is to be discerned how groundless and absurd is the widely prevalent conclusion that the scientific doctrine of evolution is hostile to a rational belief in the designing activity of an Almighty Creator. The argument is that Science has established the fact that all forms of Lif'* have come into existence by succes- - sive processes of Involution from pre- then may we ascribe the marvels of Therefore, existing nature to the interposition of viously existing forms. there is no need of supposing a De- an Almighty Creator with his legions signing Creator, and the theory of His of angela rejoicing to participate in his activity is inadmissible.

We acknowledge the receipt from of the following books: "The Old and the New," by Cbas. E. Jefferson; "The New Crusade," by the same author; "The Idylls and the Ages," by John F. Genung; "The Little Water Folks," by Clarence Hawkes. We predict that any one dipping into the Jefferson books will read them. The Little Water Folks is fascinating with no suggestion of "nature faking" to give them zest. Taos- Crowell & Co. MAUI'S WELCOME TO REV. E. B. TURNER. One of the most delightful of recent events on Maui was the reception recently tendered by the Paia Church to Rev. and Mrs. E. 15. Turner. The parlors of the church were beautifully decorated for the occasion, and a large reception committee made everyone feel welcome. Mr. D. C. Lindsay, chairman of the program committee, secured all the musical talent on Central Maui. Hon. H. P.

The Friend is very glad to voice the thanks of all the good people of the Territory, both to our i vcr-sea sister Churches and to the American Missionary Association. A Blow In The Face. During the past summer tourists traveling eastward from Japan via I lawaii to San Francisco have met a strange reception at the steamship office in Yokohama when pressing their desire to stop over at Honolulu. "We can guarantee no accommodations if you stop over. You are likely to be an old man before you get away from Hawaii." There is good authority for the statement that scores of travelers who had included these Islands in their itineraries abandoned their intention upon this information. We personally know of not a few who were thus turned away. And this during summer when tourist travel from the mainland is apt to be slack. If every person desiring to remain over one steamer during the months of June, July and August had been encouraged to do so by the through lines and if these lines had arranged to give accommodation first to stop-overs and second to other travelers, two results would have been secured, hirst the absolute inadequacy of the through lines to meet the actual demands of travel between the mainland and Hawaii would have been made so much clearer that the day of two fast local boats of the size say of the Korea or China would have been materially hastened. Second the stop-over habit on the part of the ever enlarging round the world trade from east to west and on the part of travelers from Asia would have been vastly encouraged. One Great Objective. The time has come for Hawaii to plan for two elements in this latter class, first the missionaries, and second wealthy, world seeing Asiatics. It would be good business for some far sighted friends of better things to found a rest house upon the heights about Honolulu, where at reasonable rates tired missionaries might recuperate before poing to the mainland for the strenuous work demanded nowadays of those returning from their fields of labor. The largest steamship lines have found it a paying policy to cultivate the friendship of the great missionary societies. The business is a good one from every point of view. \\ ith a little elTort a fair proportion of missionaries could be induced to make a stay of several months here for complete The Pacific world has one center, Hawaii.

Missionaries have been suggested above. couraging the development of this have influential friends and are apt to tell out their impressions of a place like Honolulu where it will do most good. As a men: advertisement the scheme would pay. lint there are far higher values. Tin plan if well carried out, including the serious presentation of its timeliness and importance to the Executive Committees of the great societies so as to enlist their interest in having their missionaries rest here, would bring hither men and women who would contribute to the higher life and culture of our people more than can easily be calculated. Hawaii would naturally become the moral and religious center of the Pacific world. In time it would be possible to organize periodical conferences on great themes affecting the highest interests of the nations bord.Tii g this ocean that would help mould public opinion the earth over. We can do it it we 'All. What do our Christian capitalists say? The scheme involves no vast outlay. Secure a tract of land convenient to the city whose very site spells Rest, erect a few modest cottages thereon with a central dining hall under proper management and then trytor the missionaries. In a few years every one of the thousands who nowcross the Pacific annually en route to and from the great mission fields of Asia would want to plan for a shorter or longer stop at Honolulu. What of the Rest of Us. \\ c who live here and those who come to us from the Mainland expecting to go no farther west must face the inevitable —the through lines are to be no longer our dependence. We must have facilities of our own. One steamer will not answer because the freight dependence of such a steamer, tropical fruit, especially bananas, demands at least a bi-weekly if not weekly service. But one steamer at first of size sufficient to win the sea-timid to attempt the journey would make a good beginning. If within the short memory of even young people the West Indies banana trade lias sprung from comparatively nothing to a vast commerce demanding consolidated lines of steamers capitalized at $100,-000.000. fostering also a vast tourist traffic towards points not central in any great through mundane line of travel, Hawaii ought tube able to make a bi-weekly first class steamer sen -ice pay on a freight basis of tropic products. We who live here and all who come to Hawaii as a terminal point from the Mainland would then be amply provided for. The well known missionary motto may without irreverence be adapted to this Mid-Sea Paradise. Expect great tilings and attempt gteai things far Hawaii- Asiatic World Trotters. .Asia as well as America has its men of wealth. They are beginning to feel the sting of the travel bee. Careful students of traffic problems are being more and more impressed with the steadily increasing number of Chinese. Japanese, Hindus, Persians and other Asiatics who wanting to see the world are registering their names upon the first class passenger lists of transAtlantic and trans-Pacific steamers. I lawaii wants them to stop over Here is work for the Promotion Committee. If that committee can persuade the through lines to give stop-over passengers the preference and will then enter the advertising field by getting good literature on Hawaii attractively printed in the various Asiatic languages into the hands of people of wealth and education, these Islands will before long become a favorite rendezvous for these classes. It goes without saying that such visitors will add to the ptcturesquesness and interest of such conferences and conventions as Fishmarket Future. The Niagara question faces Hawaii. hat question is beauty versus pracItical utility. The nation settled it hi favor of beauty though it made certain concessions to practical utility, h decreed that where the ends of practical Utility could be secured without any sacrifice of beauty. those ends might be favored by public permission. The ground for this solution of the question was the higher utility of The battle was bitterly beauty. fought by great corporate wealth on one hand and by lovers of the ideal on the other. The party of ideals won. Let it be so in Honolulu. Mr. Robinson's scheme of a welcome park on the site of the fishmarket Is one of those ideal dreams of beauty which now and then in history God makes possible to a muncipality. There is no other location for such a unique symbolic manifestation of Hawaii's most distinguishing characteristic—hospitality. A coal depot may be placed elsewhere. The park must go there or nowhere. To �THE FRIEND one- entering the harbor now that the new wharf is nearly completed, the plan of Mr. Robinson seems little less than an inspiration. As a mere business asset i. will mean more to the Territory than its cost a hundred fold. The li 1jie has come when it is clear that the white laborer is not the man we are likely to attract hither, but home builders, who wish to spend their days of ripened endeavor in a perfect climate after the chief Struggle to get a livin,!> is over, will and must seek Hawaii in ever larger numbers. Such people arc profoundly impressed by appeals of beauty. To such it is the part of wisdom that Honolulu should cater. A few months ago one of the leading financiers of America, who had been San Francisco's staunchest friend since the earthquake fire, expressed his keen disappointment because civic spirit had so died out in the city that few of the splendid improvements made possible by the calamity, were being planned. We have natural advantages which enable us to make Honolulu the most beautiful city on earth. Let us not sacrifice them. Our location renders our future as a commercial center sure.

But the sacrifice of the fishmarket would be vital and irrevocable. Changes. Following close upon the departure of Rev. 1!. Y. Bazata from I'aia where Rev. K. P>. Turner was quickly installed as successor, the news comes of the resignation of ReV. X- A. Buchanan of Kohala. Mr. Buchanan has done good solid work for three years and will be missed throughout the entire Kohala district. He has been especially faithful in furthering the interests of Hawaiian. Chinese and Japanese Churches in his neighborhood and has conducted a successful Ministers' Institute ever since he came lo the Islands. The resignation will take effect in February. Mrs. Buchanan lias been a tower of strength in Kohala Seminary and will leave a large place to he filled by her successor in the manse. Rev. John h".

He has achieved a 5 notable work and all who know him inducements and settle permanently in regret exceedingly that questions of the Territory is uncertain. health and home rendered it impossiThe second method is to solicit ble for him to remain longer. Rev. Albert Krdman, 1). D., will supply Kahului statedly until a permanent pastor be secured. Meantime the appointment of .Mr. Robert Law as principal in Lahaina takes thither a most active laborer who is untiring in his efforts to do good, Raldwin I louse finds in him a most helpful friend. With the coming of Messrs. Shimamura for I'aauhau, Kikuchi for Puuneue, Shimamori for Honolulu Christian Club, Ito for Malaweli and Takahashi for Kauai the Hawaiian Roard now occupies all but three or four of its Japanese centers throughout the group. Only the dearth of money keeps it from manning the remaining fields. Its policy of aiding Mr. Kozuki's Training School in Tokyo has furnished it all the evangelists and teachers it can support. If any large minded friend desires to help pay the debt which Hawaii owes to this school for the men it iias sent here, a gift of $500 for a much needed' building would be most timely. Meantime we ought to find at least $10,000 more per annum for our regular work. ( hir Hawaiian Department reports the deposition from the ministry of James I'avis and William K.

Two procedures for carrying into effect President Roosevelt's famous dictum "Americanize Hawaii" have been devised. Roth of them arc sound. The first is to bring in American labor. Brilliant failure has attended every effort to realize this and it has petered out into the endeavor to domicile any sort of white labor that can he cajoled into coming. The latest importation* it is hoped will remain, though from time to time drafts are made upon our Island Portuguese. These and the Spaniards who have been introduced into Hawaii have proved a most useful and reliable addition to our population. Refore the term "American labor" can be applied to them, however, they must be thoroughly inoculated with the spirit of the Nation. How large the proportion will be of those who will resist mainland wage American farmers to come to Hawaii, take up land and devote themselves to the solution of the problem of diversified products. Thus far little or no success has attended this scheme. Soil, climate and possibilities for raising enormous supplies of tropical fruits are all here but the small mainland farmer prefers the certainty of large returns where he now is, to the risks of transportation and the difficulty of learning new agricultural tricks in Hawaii. There is a third perfectly feasible plan about the success of which there seems little doubt. This plan was pointed out recently to a resident of Hawaii on a visit east by a Mainlander of large experience in the movements of population throughout the States. This student of American life begun by laying down the proposition that the number of people in the \orthern States who have amassed sufficient wealth to enable them by middle life to desist from the strenuous chase after dollars is simply enormous. "Many of these," saiil he, "either are childless or have started their children in successful careers. They dislike exceedingly the rigors of the northern winter and are determined to seek a genial climate where they may live comfortably, have time for self culture and expand their chief energies in building up civic and religious institutions worthy of their best efforts. Southern California- is full of such people. They have made that part of the State a credit and glory to the Union so that with its ideals of good order, civic righteousness and sobriety it is coming to dominate the northern section. But Southern California is not like Hawaii an ideal climate and this class is constantly increasing in number so that there is alia, adv a large proportion looking for exactly what the Islands have to offer. If the question of adequate transportation were only settled you would find these people docking to Honolulu and Ililo in constantly greater numbers. They are the best people you can haw They will bring money enough to own their own homes and to live in modi-rate comfort. They will be sufficientIv impressed with Hawaii's fruit possibilities to develop them as a side issue and thus will attract others who will make this their business. Being people of ideals they will tone up your citizenship amazingly. If you Islanders would only press the question of first class steamer accommodations to a solution, your problem of American- �6 THE FRIEND izing Hawaii would soon be solved." These sentiments of a keen-eyed observer of American life deserve careful consideration. If as uuich alteuti in and money could be directed to seem ing adequate facilities for travel to and from the Mainland ;is have been given to the problem of bringing laborers here, there is reason to believe that the Territory would soon attract this class of hard working successful nieti and women who hold the theory that when a competence has been secured, the list of life should be devoted to higher things in a climate which makes smaller drain upon vital resources than lint of the Northern States. Let us get afler these people. With them to help the problem of Americanizing this Territory will soon be solved. I). S. RANGE LIGHTS BY JOHN G. WOOLEY. I am very sorry to learn that some uninformed, or ill-informed, or misinformed readers of these articles have jumped to the conclusion thai n:v faith in prohibition as the best legislative means of dealing with the liquor traffic had been shaken, or abandoned. Such a conclusion is unwarranted by any word that I have written ami exactly contrary to the fact, flu- superiority of prohibition over ail) system of regulation has been proved repeatedly. Rut a circular which I have just received from the Honorable Charles P.. I.ittlelield, member of Congress from Maine and chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Mouse of Representatives presents the case of his Slate as compared to that of MasSa chusetta so lucidly and thoroughly as to amount to a demonstration, or near it. Mr. I.ittlelield, as is well known, is a Republican party leader, quite above suspicion of variableness or shadow of scratching his ticket and as free as one of his own pine trees from the manners or methods of a fanatic. His attention was called to an article in a Boston paper in which ex Governor Garvin of Rhode Island disparag ed the Maine law as Compared to the license system in Massachusetts, saving that "if the prosperity of a community is rightly measured by it*- in crease of wealth and population, then Maine ranks as one of the least pros perous of all the States." Mr l.ittlcfiehl replied as follows: 'I think Maine can successfully stand the test laid down Inasmuch as Massachusetts has been referred to by way of comparison, and: as she is popularly understood to be at least a fair representative of i\e\ clop ment in the line of moral, social, and material welfare, thus giving an exact ing standard. 1 will confine nivself to that State for comparisons. All of the L.L.D. statistics to which I shall refer, unless otherwise specified, are from the United Slates census, when- they can be easily verified. They have the advantage of being disinterested, and of all being taken on the s line basis. The United States during the last decade increased in population 20.7 per cent.. Massachusetts 25.3 per cent., and mc 5 per cent, The percentage of increase in Massachusetts was a little less than in the preceding decade. Maine's, about three times as much, 5 per cent, against 1.9 per cent. It is a very pregnant fact in this connection that, while Maine's population in 1900 was only 694,466, there wen- then liv ing in other States 216,551 persons who were born in Maine. It is true tint Massachusetts made great prog r. ss, but Maine fuinisln-d for her 98,000 and received ill return only 15.000, gh illg from her small population more than six times as many as she received.

Nobody cares to limit the extent of the advance which the next legislature will make in this matter. Mr. W'oolley lias wonderfully stirred the Hawaiian people in his few address and there is a big educational campaign under foot. There are leaders that are responding to a degree that would amaze any one not acquainted with the substratum of righteousness in the Hawaiian people. There is no question but a moral issue is safer in the hands of the Hawaiian electorate than it would be if left to the "haoles." The fact is the white people have generations of "it cannot be done" and "you cannot legislate the people into morality" back of them, besides that they are too much involved with the liquor interests from a purely dollars and cents point of view.

JAPANESE GOOD NATURE. As the traveler from the Occident reaches the Japan Bridge, Tokyo, said to be the central point of the Empire's busy activities, he will hear the bright looking conductor of the electric car cry out: "Xihon Hashi dc gozaimasu!" "VVasureru mono no nai yo ni!" "Here we are at the Japan Bridge I" "Be careful you don't leave anything behind !" So it is at every stopping place, �THE FRIEND 10 explicit directions, kindly care on the part of the official, and a polite regard for every passenger, the rich and the poorest alike. The pleasant laughing good nature, found at all times, even when a Westerner would be very much irritated, is a delightful characteristic of the Japanese people. For illustration, one day on Tokyo's busiest street ear, there were two women, evidently from the country, one had a baby with her, and one had a very large bundle, and also two children. They seemed to be in doubt as where to get off, and stopped the ear, but the conductor told them very kindly that they were not yet at the place they wanted. After a little, they felt sure of their destination, and so stopped the car again and with some difficulty, bundles and children were all safely landed on the street. Then they seemed in doubt again, and asked the conductor once more, he very patiently explained. Finding they were mistaken, he very good naturedly and laughingly helped them on again, bag and baggage. No one seemed irritated at the long delay. Other passengers were laughing and enjoying it all. I his is but a little example of the hearty good* nature found on every side. The Japanese certainly seem to be a very happy people. Every where you see the children playing and laughing- In all their hurry and bustle of a more modern life, they have not yet learned to worry and fuss over the loss of a few minutes. In the new life coming so fast to the Orient, may they take only what is best from the West, keeping all those pleasant qualities, which make many parts of the F.ast so interesting and fascinating.

I have had to tell a woman that she was a widow, and that her children were fatherless, because her husband, gentle and loving and clean-living, had been tempted to take "a drop of alcohol" at sea, and had fallen over the side, drunk, and gone out into a drunkard's eternity. I have bad to clothe children and feed them when reduced to starvation, because alcohol had robbed them of a natural protector and all the necessities of life-1 have had to visit in prisons the victims of crime, caused as directly in honest men by alcohol as a burn is caused by falling into the fire. Why do I not want alcohol as a beverage in a country wdiere cold is extreme, exposure is constant and physical conditions are full of hardship? Simply because I have seen men go down in the struggle for want of that natural strength which alcohol alone had robbed them of. The fishermen that I live among are my friends, and I love them as my brothers, and I do not think I am unnecessarily prejudiced or bigoted when I say that alcohol is inadvisable, after one has seen it robbing his best friends of strength, honor, reason, kindliness, love, money and even life. During twenty years' experience on the sea and on the snow in winter—and experience coming not on the top of the kind of life which would naturally fit one to meet these conditions, but rather after an upbringing in soft places—l have found that alcohol has been entirely unnecessary for myself. I have been doctoring sick men and women of every kind and I have found that I can use other drugs of which we know the exact action and which we can conlrol absolutely with greater accuracy in cases of necessity for stimulating the heart. I contend we can get just as good results without it, and I always fear its power to create a desire for itself. It is not necessary for happiness, for I have known no set of men happier and enjoying their lives more than the crews of my own vessel, and the many, many fishermen who, like ourselves, neither touch, taste nor handle it. I would be willing to allow that the manufacture of it gives employment, that the sale of it is remunerative, that a desire for it can be easily created. But the desire for it has to be "cultivated," and once cultivated the "market" is certain to open up—for the desire becomes an insatiable, uncontrollable lust in many. I have no contro- versy with anything that gives employand circulates money, and should possibly be satisfied if after all the good grain and good foodstuffs had been fermented and converted into thin particular kind of poison, instead of being poured down men's throats, it were poured into the ocean—where at least it would do no harmI have seen men robbed in many ways, but they have been able by the help of (md to wipe out any lasting results of such transient losses. But the robberies of alcohol are irremediable. I buried in a lonely grave on a projecting promontory, far down the coast of Labrador, a young girl of eighteen. ment She was some one's daughter and some one's sister. I had taken her aboard our little hospital ship for the last week of her life. She should have been alive today, but she had no desire to live. All that could possibly make life worth living for her had been robbed from her through the means of alcohol, and she could not face the home-going again. If I ever have the Opportunity given to me to say, a word at any time or in any place which could help to inhibit the use of alcohol as a beverage, so long as I can stand upon my feet I shall he proud to get up and speak it.— Pilgrim Teacher.

"We are gathered here to note with love the passing of the last survivor of the earlier missionaries who planted the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ in these Islands.

Arriving here first in May, 1833i the Parkers sailed two months later to the Marquesas Islands in company with the Alexanders and Armstrongs, returning here ten months later after much trying experience among the cannibals. A son was born to them there, who has now been for forty-four years the pastor of this historic church, and is grown venerable in our Lord's service. The visit to Kancohc, of which I have just spoken, must have been very near to the date of the wonderful revival which pervaded all these islands in 1837-8, and which was extremely powerful in my, father's field of Ewa, Where nearly one thousand converts were added to our Church in a single year. I particularly recall a very stirring "protracted meeting" when MrParker and Rev. Lowell Smith of Honolulu joined Mr. Bishop in touring his district, all of them flaming with a Spiritual ardor which awed my childish mind. A manifest Divine Power rested ttiioii them and upon all the people. I know that Mrs. Parker shared to the utmost in that spiritual uplifting, and she continued through her ripe" years a woman of high and habitual spiritual exaltation. I should think it was after 1870, while the Parkers were occupying a cottage in-; r Mr. Castle's, that I chanced to be present at a conference bjtvvcen Mrs. CastJ£ and Mrs. Parker in which spiritual thinking was prominent, and was deeply impressed with the great absorption of the minds cf both of those mothers in such thoughts as well as with the elevation of their views. The ()berlin Evangelist was favorite reading with them. In early life in Connecticut. Mrs. Parker had been an intimate friend of Charlotte Fowler, afterwards Mrs. Dr. Dwigbt Baldwin, who preceded the Parkers here by two years, and renewed their intimacy a year later, after the return from the Marquesas. It is a family tradition of the Baldwins how one morning Mrs. Baldwin laid an extra plate on the breakfast table, declaring when questioned, that Mrs. Parker was about to arrive. She actually came in from a schooner, before the meal was through.

It remains for us their descendants o consecrate ourselves with renewed zeal and fidelity to the Service of the great Work which Cod has planted and cherished here in mid-ocean to be an abiding light and testimony. The fathers pass on ; we all soon follow ; but the Word of the Lord abideth forever. [On the one hundred and first anniversary of her birth Mother Parker stated to two of her guests that her early home had been in Xew Haven. After finishing her education at school another young lady and she applied through their pastor to the President of Vale College to be permitted to t ike the college course. The matter was referred to the proper authorities, discussed and the answer was a COurteojs declination.

They did so and in this way perstud several subjects successfully, took their examinations and acquitted themselves creditably.—l'd.] BOOK REVIEW. The Ministry of David Baldwin. An interesting story. Not that the book is a literary success, for artistically it is tasteless- It is distinctly not a piece of good writing and more than once the dialog becomes wofully flat. It contains no specially attractive character portraiture. There is not a little exaggeration. We have never witnessed or heard of such occurrences at Church meetings as ate depicted, though it is possible the scenes drawn have transpired. The author. Prof. Henry T. Colestock, sets out to give some reasons why SO many people have drifted out of sympathy with Christian Churches and also why there is something of a dearth in students for the The Ministry of David Baldwin.

The reasons which he adduces are two, first opposition to innovations in method and second conservatism in theology. In order to render his contention more graphic he easts his argument into the form of a novel. In so far as the narrative is a rescript of his own experience it is valuable. Even those who dissent from his point of view would do well to read the book with open mind. If the Church is to become all things to all men in the Pauline sense, it must study all shades of opinion. Prof. Colebrook urges that in an age when good books on religion sell close to the head of the list, when there is more intense interest in religion problems than ever before in history, when leading men of science have become the great apologists of Christian faith, and when the general life of mankind reflects so much of tin- Mind of Christ, the Church in order to maintain its leadership must grant full liberty to its ministers and must welcome tin- results of reverent scholarship.

During the recent visit of Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte in Honolulu, the story of Nauru was told by the former in Central Union Church, which some two years ago guaranteed the support of these missionaries on the occasion of the Nauru Mission being taken over by the American Hoard.

The Manchuria of November I brought Miss Margaret Ellen Eoltz to complete the working force of Wailuku Settlement. Miss Eoltz has to her'credit two years in Hamlin University, St. Paul, one year in Marquette, Michigan, Normal School, and one year in the Seattle Kindergarten Training School, the diploma of which she holds. She has taught one year in the Seattle Presbyterian Church Kindergarten and one year in the public school of Woolley, Wasliinptoii. She comes to Alexander House full of eagerness for the work in that busy center. Names to Remember. This community is not likely to forget that Supervisors Archer, Cox, Dwight and Kealoha voted to place in a responsible office Mr. Brown who was rejected last year at the polls after a strenuous contest. His conduct of that office is lx'ing closely watched. If the record achieved be honorable, due public credit will be given. If the intimation made in the daily press be borne out that cases are being nolle prossed which should he prosecuted, the facts must come to light and the voters will know whom to hold responsible. Chairman Hustace of the Board of Supervisors, is proving himself faithful to his trust and a public servant worthy of popular confidence. Heartier cooperation on his part with the police department under the public-spirited leadership of Colonel laukea would have placed his record well above criticism. Meantime it should be added that no better document for the training of citizens has appeared in our daily press than the recent interview of Chief of Police laukea in the Advertiser of November 16th. It should be translated' into the Hawaiian language, together with the endorsement of Kamehameha Ill's great saying: "The Rood man is my man," and sent to every Hawaiian voter in the Islands. William Kent. The visit to Honolulu of this well known municipal reform leader wdio believes in "getting down in the mud under the automobile" in political campaigns for civic righteousness, was all too short. He was heard only twice in public, once at Central Union Church under the auspices of the Civic Federation, and again before the Civic Committee of the College Club. Those who had the good fortune to hear him will not soon forget the impression made by coming into touch with a man who has fought his way through a great historic campaign to one of the most notable victories our nation has known. Much is to be learned by good THE FRIEND. citizens in Honolulu from this experienced fighter. The very first principle of successful battling for honest city government as laid down by Mr. Kent is independent voting. I lis dramatic scoring of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for interference in the Cleveland mayoralty contest, conditioned upon the truth of their reported interference, was the most dramatic incident in Mr. Kent's addresses. The strong insistence laid by him upon the necessity for good men playing politics for all it is worth, so long as it be clean politics for the public weal, is the kind of message needed in this city. It is worth while living in an age that is producing such leaders as William Kent who, tho' having great wealth, do not give themselves to leisure but throw all their energies into conflicts whose end is the safcßttarding of the people's rights. Mr. Kent had much to say about communal property. It will not be long before the property of the people in mines, forests, public franchises anil increment in value due to movements of population will he restored to its owners the world over without any suspicion of socialism. In fact, it is becoming quite clear that such restoration of ownership is entirely distinct from this form of political philosophy. It will, however, always be the boast of socialists that the holders of their theories were the first to popularize these truths which slowly but surely arc winning their way. Mr. Kent's address in Central Union Church dwelling on these points and makiiiß them clear was both timely and helpful. We hope he will visit Honolulu again and Rive us more of his experience D. S. MAN'S SUDDEN EVOLUTION A MIRACLE. Genesis tells us that God created Man in His own Image near the close of the Sixth Creative Period or "Day." That is known in Geology as the "Tertiary Period," covering especially the appearance of Mammalia. Evolutionary Science coincides with Geology and Genesis in placing Man at the close of Creation, telling us also the line of his descent from pre-existing animals. Both Biology and Embryology distinctly reveal the indubitable fact that Man is directly descended from the Arboreal Apes, animals most remotely distinguished from Man in habits and capacities. Hut herein is a wonderful Miracle. While possessing many remarkable features of unmistakable identity with these tree-leaping ancestors, Man exhibits an extraordinary difference and superiority, both in kind and dcßrcc of faculty. With marked traces of Pithecoid nature, He is that beast transformed into a creature Kingly, even Divine. The crouching quadruman has become the erect Iliman. the Homo Erectus and Sapiens. The low and' narrow brow has expanded into a Royal Dome of Thought. The bestial feature, the feeble chin have Rrown into the human beauty of type. The dumb or chattcriiiß Ape has become Man of multiplex speech. The unreasoniiiß, unteachable brute becomes inventive, proprcssive, kingly Man. Put this enormous change in aspect, in quality, in capacity, was attained by a single leap, and not by any slow lapse of time in Rradual changes, such as Natural, unaided Evolution requires. Herein is the marvellous Miracle, disclosing the Creator's direct interposition.

Beckwith, I'hunasCo., Cal., Nov. 8, 1907. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, Honolulu, Hawaii. Dear Sir: ()n a perfect day in the autumn of iux>s when the canoe birches hung their yellow leaves over the placid waters of crystal lakes and the ripe pumpkins glowed through the rails of the farm fences, I chanced to walk from Lakeville through the foothills of the Rerkshires on a 15-mile jaunt to Cornwall. On reaching this little quaint Connecticut village I found that my friends, the Metcalfs, had left for New Haven the day before. A The Chinese work in Wailuku is hava Rood degree of prosperity.

Thereis a good spirit, all working with earnest- ing ness. OF THE TOMB OF OBOOKIAH. WAILUKU ITEMS. Mr. Tani Wa Chang has an evening school in the Chinese language for the young men. The Sunday School and church services are well attended. There has been a beautiful spirit of Christian fellowship between the Chinese and Japanese churches, as its members have met together at the Communion services, and in a social way. The time has come to extend still more a spirit of helpfulness to our Japanese friends. Miss Turner is now devoting a portion of her time to the Japanese women, meeting with them in their homes for the study of English. Three evenings of each week are given at the Alexander House Settlement, being especially devoted to the study of English for the Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese. A number of Portuguese have recently arrived to work on the plantation, and are eager to learn English. i'he mornings are given to the Chinese women in their homes for the study of English. There are five interested in this. A Chinese merchant and his bride are giving two mornings of each week for this purpose. Regular visits are made in the homes of the various nationalities. The second and last Wednesday of each month, a meeting is held at the different homes of the Chinese, with Scripture lessons from the Picture Chart. The picture is left in the home as a reminder of the lesson, and also to bring something of cheer to the bare and unattractive OBOOKIAH search in the graveyard on the hillside failed to reveal to me the object of my expedition—the grave of the native boy Obookaiah, SO renowned' in the Christian history of the Islands, but cut off so suddenly in the prime of life in this foreign land. On my subsequent return to New Haven I had a good talk with Mrs. Metcalf, the wife of a prominent New Haven dentist, who was a Miss Boyd and is a distant cousin of my mother. The Metcalfs own and use as a summer residence the old mission school house at Cornwall, Conn. Of course, it has been remodeled since the time when our Obookaiah was there and received instruction in it.

The crux of the social problem is that the moral leadership is on the lookout for something easy, and two per cent, a month, rather than for what is right at any cost. It says, for instance, that men will get drunk. That is as false as it is silly. Men do what they are taiißht to 'lo and only what they arc taught to do. Men will not get drunk when sober, stroiiß, imlempted, kindly Christian citizens stop teaching them to do it, by the loose, base infidelity of that assumption, bad example, and the heartless, senseless laws thai sell the birth right of the children for a mess of dishonorable ease This country (leaned t and dirty revenue. muddy pool at best.

The trouble with Sodom was inside of it. The Lots were complaisant because they were well bred, busy, selfcentered and prosperous, their children were marrying well and they really felt tli.it for the body politic to slough at its lower extremities was no serious matter to the head and shoulders. Then in time, their moral arteries hardened so that they bad to shirk hard duty in order to avoid excitement. Lot himself, the head of the family and set, fidl so into the habit of buying off calamity, that he won and still holds the record as the weakest, meanest compromiser in the world. When the commissioners of God came to his house and the mob gathered to insult them, or abuse them, he, a citizen of the covenant, a nephew of Abraham, the father of a family, the man of wealth and power, the host of divine messengers, instead of standing forth It says politics is man fashion and saying, "These are 7 angels from God, and my Riiests.

Sodom fought her alien enemies, but her internal Foes were only winked at, prayed at, preached at and permitted lo sound the key note of the city life. I am not railing at anybody, nor meddling with what is none of my business, I include myself in every stricture uttered or suggested here, and I admit fully and freely that there is no one remedy that will cure all of our social ills. Hut I dare to say that the sine qua nan of our municipal problem is that we do something to extract the snivel from (he voice of the "good" element, so that whin it speaks it will be respected. The way to do it :s evident and the means of doing it, close, ready, importunate for employment. The good man must go about and stand away for his high side in politics. The spasmodic uprisings that have characterized his efforts at bet ter government will not do. He must go in t<> stay and to win. The Chrislian voter is Ihe clutch by which the Church, the best and greatest of institutions, gears to die social machinery, lie must stop slipping on the shaft and hold, or break. This is a remarkably tit and needy community for testing out the suggestion. The heredity is magnificent. There is no environment. It is about to inaugurate a municipal government. At present the outlook favors a dynasty of beach-combers, in spite of the fact that, of the white residents, a very large majority are men of probity, influence and substance, and that the natives are very hospitable to high ideals and good examples, but more or less unstable and therefore in need of and entitled to a strong, steady upward pull of the good whites.

The history of this Territory is rich in illustrations of the good man in politics, and such illustrations are by no means absent now, but the heroism that conies out in a revolution is greatly out of proportion to the common, daily altruism of these peaceful times. The good man of large private affairs must turn his hand to public business. The idle rich man must sentence himself to hard labor for the common weal. The ten thousand dollar man must take office at two thousand. The grip of the beach-comber must be broken. And to that end there must he direct primaries, and the liquor traffic which is the breeding ground of pathogenic politics must he abolished. The blind pig is much less destructive than the p'g with good eyes. It is almost an affront in this presence to say so trite a thiiiß as this, that permanent party lines are a constant menace to pure democracy. Mr. Os- trogorski in his Rreat book on"The Rise of Political Parties," has shown this, with a clearness that amounts to demonstration, and such lines form the run way that will guide this electorate into the same quagmire where the mainland cities arc floundering. The green goods man of municipal politics always gets his vile output into currency with the stamp of party regularity. That mighty lever of public exploitation will be broken, when good men refuse to be herded and branded, but rather enter each campaign in new alignment as befits a growing intelligence and conscience under democratic forms. Safety and success are along the line of individual righteousness and independence; and untrammeled and unfoolcd and bravely led, the majority is always on the right side. The voice of the people is the voice of a vants despise the family. yiiu (2) A mud- dy headed citizenship that can be satistied and Stultified with sops, or jobs, or public works; (3) poisoning the wells of civic integrity by giving vice a posi- tion of legitimacy and respectability, (4) The abdication of the people to political parties that profit by the decay and death of public spirit, and scale political ideals down from the nobler to the baser levels. Bossisffl is a thought killer. Materialism is a patriotism killer. Legalized vice is a conscience killer. Partyism is a courage killer. For our futile and villainous police forces, for our weakling and darkling city councils, for the Platts and Crokers and Murphys and Hraytons and Durhama and Coxes and Ruefs and such, the good men of New York, Providence, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and San Erancisco are responsible. What the whole country needs above all is game good men. I have not exaggerated the difficulty nor the need, lint this paper would be very lop-sided if I failed to add in conclusion, a word of cheer for the face of the sky this evening. It is going to be nasty weather for politicians of the old regime, "hut the righteous shall hold on his way and the hands that are clean shall grow stronger and stronger." CENTRAL, UNION CHURCH HER NEW LEADER. AND 'Ihe most conspicuous miracle of the last aroused the faith and enlarged the vision of the Christian Church throughout century, which the world was the transformation of the Hawaiian Islands under the leadership of a noble hand of American Board missionaries. In the midst of the many Hawaiian Churches established by them was a church for Englishspeaking people which was destined to stand strength in the comnot only J as a tower of * w sm CENTRAL UNION CHURCH Ihe installation "fa pastor in such a church is a matter Of More Than Local Interest.

The services woe held on the afternoon and evening "f Wednesday, Nov. 20th. The Council was composed of the churches of the various races connected with Oalui Association and in addition a few of the leading churches of the oilier Islands, together with a large number of ministers, a number of whom belong to sister denominations. Rev. W. IJ. W'cstervclt was chosen Moderator, and Rev. K. 15. Turner Scribe. Everyone present at the afternoon service held for the examination of the candidate must have been impressed with the lari'e and interested assemblage of men,—men of several nationalities, men of various denominations, busy men who in the busy time of the day had left office and store to assemble and raise their voices in unanimous approval of the choice of Dr. Scudder as the pastor of this church. �THE FRIEND Dr. Scudder was here called upon to present Council a statement of his religious faith aud experience, which he did in an address which was an inspiring presentation of his religious experience and conviclioiis anil in a spirit that commanded the reverent attention of all.

Expressing regrets at his inability to attend, he continued: "I congratulate the beloved Central Union Church Upon the choice of the very man, whom, of all the ministers of my acquaintance, would have chosen.

Divine healing, it is claimed, needs no action on our part, although a physician is called for the children under certain conditions because of the "say of the world." I was assured that the orphans were given school and other necessary instruction, but inasmuch as it is said that there would be no regret if the orphans all found homes or were removed, we cannot help feeling that there is .something lacking. Those in charge of an orphanage should be enthusiastic for their work and set an example of sound reasoning, neatness, and high purpose. Much or all of the plant has been furnished by Miss Heard, but an orphanage is a semi-public institution, and as this one has sought public Support and is incorporated in this Territory, we are informed, it may be time for its directors or trustees to investigate that for which they have assumed responsibility.

I wish to disclaim any originality in the ideas or figures presented in this paper. Hut the fads are so important that we cannot afford to ignore them. A child reared in a careful home, with simple food, regular meals, regular hours of sleep. plenty of work and play in the open air, will naturally grow to be a healthy man or woman. Naturally, Ihe reverse is true. Poor food, meals at all hours, irregular sleep, idleness, poor air, will tend to lead to weak manhood and womanhood. Dr. Osier says that 12,000,000 people in our country have tuberculosis and that one in every twelve of these will die of the disease 1,000,000 people to die of one dread disease. Not only thai, but thousands of others will be infected from them. Who can estimate the value of a human life? Economists state that each life is worth $1,000 to the community. One million people represents nearly seven times Ihe population of the entire Hawaiian group, and this number of residents of the United States must die in this generation of tuberculosis alone. Of our population about one-fifth are in our schools. These young people have their full share of infection. We try to develop their minds, we give some attention to their physical development, and we ought to do all that can he done for their hygienic development. A small beginning has been made. Some few schools have classes, more or less desultory, in ••first aid to the injured," text-book physiology, but very little real serious work is done. It is of the greatest importance to have our young people protected against avoidable injuries, against diseases that can he stemmed, against infection, against mental and physical suffering 100 often caused simply by ignorance of the bodily condition. — The services of a physician as such have recenty been utilized in education. Sweden took the lead in 1832. Medical inspection was not introduced in this country till much later. Boston led, I think, in 1890, Philadelphia in 1892, Chicago in 1806, and New York in 1897. In the State of Massachusetts only 14 cities outside of Boston have as yet introduced the system of medical inspection. (This was true No a year ago. I have no later statistics.) other state has done more than Massachusetts. Medical inspection of schools should follow at least five main lines: 1. The examination of all pupils for infectious and contagious diseases. 2. The examination of all pupils for impaired eyesight, defective hearing, skin eruptions, and for venereal diseases. 3. The examination of the sanitary and hygenic condition of all school buildings, inonly side and out, equipment, the grounds, sewer- age system, and ihe water system. 4. A close inspection of the homes from which the pupils come—the better lo determine the influences of environment upon the pupil. 5. The employing of school nurses to treat minor ailments and to watch all who are or should be under special treatment. Many of the worst diseases arc spread through the mediums of the school, in the close association necessary. We have a healthy fear of scarlet fever, smallpox, and diphtheria, and pay some regard to measles. Hut very little attention is paid, as a rule, to mumps, whooping cough, syphilis and kindred diseases, lonsilitis, tuberculosis, head lice, ring worm, itch and the like. Much of the danger of contagion from these diseases could be avoided if proper medical inspection was given. The eyesight and hearing of many pupils are affected from very slight causes which proper medical would easily cure, neglected the child becomes abnormal and often incurably diseased. The teachers can do something, but not having special medical training themselves treatment and lacking the authority to examine, the real burden cannot be laid on them. At the best they but cooperate. And this I believe all will most willing to do. The cost of medical inspection would be be found The committee makes six definite recommend- ation: i. A thorough physical examination of every child ill every school in the United States. The attention of the family physician and i. parent! called to the defects found, A careful "follow up" canvass, and negliparents forced lo give their children proper medical attention. 4. Reexamination at stated intervals, all children applying for such certificates 10 receive a physical examination. 5. Health and tenement laws enforced, hours of labor restricted, dangerous trade, regulated, and ihe abuse of women and children prevented. 6. The course of study in public schools should not product nor aggravate physical defects, and a good system of hygiene should be impressed upon every child ill school. 1he committee declare that medical examination is cheaper than the schooling of a child who takes two years to do the work of one year. Free medical and free dental treatment should be given all school children. 3. gent PERLEV 1.. IIOKN'T. con- SOME PRESENT CONDITIONS IN siderable.

( Mhervvise the gift itself is probably of little real value—just measured by a dollars and cents standard, as dead as so much metal, that passes over the counter. Now we don't supply all the thought. We are limply agents for thoughtful publishers, whose thought shows up in prettily dressed books, quaint ideas and conceptions, helpful things for children, real mental food for grown-up people,— intellectually grown-up. The man of the family wants something of this lasl kind. I le has a lurking, half suspected interest in sociological problems; all men have, lie may want to get his information straight,—that is, not dressed up in palate-tickling novel form. It is more than likely he would be interested in Punishment ami Reformation, ..Wines Up from Slavery Hooker T. Washington The Liquor Problem Committee of Fifty Political Problems of American DeShaw velopment Wooilrou Wilson The Slate and if should not be, we can probably interest him in bis pet line of investigation. // c honestly do not know where he would find this soil of thine so ieell represented anywhere else in the city. Just how we can help out if its a question of the lady of the house, is an- other matter,—not so difficult, perhaps, as she may not be so hard to please. "She has babies." Illess her! Did she ever see "Baby's Journal," with a record for first tooth, first words,—or alleged words? Pirst step, etc. That's fun and psychology and maternal pride all delightfully blended. How is "Cooking for Two?" It suggests two stages of the lady's life, before she had any babies and after they have gotten their wings and flown out of the home nest. If she likes novels, we have some of the best, —not "all of the latest novels,"— from which claim we respectfully pray to be exculpated. We can suit her in a number of ways, unless perchance she happen to be a devotee of bridge whist, in which case we will have to please her through her children. "What! a set of Encyclopedias for the children ?" Aye, and one they can read and from which they can get some information when their teachers ask for a composition, —an essay, if you like,—on —on everything under the sun. The price of Encyclopedias used to be prohibitive. Not so with Nelson's. Come and sec how little you need to pay for as complete a set as one could wish. As to stories. There arc Bible stories (that is our specialty, of course), and good ones are in demand,—as well as other good Sunday reading. The Children's Handy Library, Golden Hour Scries, Sunshine Library are all good, but none quite so good perhaps as The Young People's Pavoritc Authors, a set of \2 books. There is no "trash" in the above, but much really informational material mingled with folk and nature lore. Helpful books to Christians with the real CHRIISTinas-tide thought in them, —such ought to be found here. They are here. Missionary biographies and travels, too. Dennis' Christian Missions is a mine of information in attractive form. Two fine maps of China are the latest contribution of a missionary character to this sort of literature, with names of mission stations and all in beautiful colors. This is not a tithe. For the Home in general it might be said with truth that "no home should he without" a good bible for every person in it. These cheap bibles with ruinous print! The only "saving clause" about them is that no one reads them,—much. India paper with good readable type and some helps, that should be the standard. As to publishers, there are Nelsons (for the American Revision), ( beford, American Bible Society and —it hardly is worth The Boy if he wants action, —"blug" while going into this anywhere else than and "scrap,"—real red blood' and helpful right where we can show you. withal, he should read the "Story of Martin Coc."

Then What. Look out for tamperers with our present liquor law. The highest authority in the L T nitcd States, Hon. John G. Woolley, has declared that our present license law is the best of its kind in the country (tho every license law is in principle bad from the point of view of the consistent antisaloonist). It is known that the liquor men intend to make a determined assault upon this law so as to shear it of all power. They will fail because their ruse is understood and because public opinion is too well satisfied with the splendid way the law is working. It is becoming increasingly clear that this law should be strengthened in one or two details, particularly in forbidding liquor dealers to solicit trade in districts out of which saloons have been legally forced. There are other features well worthy of attention which the Anti-Saloon League may be trusted to advocate when the opportunity comes. Meanwhile let all the friends of strict control of the liquor traffic keep wide awake nnr! studiously strengthen public sentiment now already overwhelmingly in support of our excellent liquor law. Shall Congress Intervene. There is an organization in Washington known as the International Reform Bureau whose Secretary is Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts. Many notable achievements are due to the energy and wisdom of this Bureau. It has world-wide aims as well as national axes to grind. For many years it has been busy endeavoring to secure Congressional action on the liquor question. Its chief objectives are the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the District of Columbia and the Territories of the United" States and legislation forbidding the importation of liquors into States with prohibitory laws. Requests have pone from Hawaii to this Bureau and to Senator Tillman, the special champion of temperance in the Upper House, setting forth the wisdom of action by Congress which shall continue the wise legislation of the Kamehameha sovereigns against intoxicants in these Islands. Congress in taking over Hawaii did the native people a very great injustice in failinc to outlaw the saloon here. From the first liquors have been forced upon the Ha- THE FRIEND. waiian people by foreign powers. Pot Congress to end the saloon here would he logically just and we hope in time this action may be secured. But it is too early to hope for this happy consummation. The first duty of Hawaii is to pass a Local Option law showing to the world that public opinion here is against the saloon. Then after we have done all we can for ourselves, let us hope that the Nation will step in and do its duty by the Islands. ist trade for Hawaii. For years the policy of discrimination against stopovers, discouragement to travelers who desired to see the wonders of this midsea group and disparagement of our Island scenery or of local accommodations for sightseers seemed to prevail, but during the past winter all this has changed.

In a short time they will be as badly off as before because of the increasing traffic. Meantime Island residents who desire to go to the mainland are in very bad plight. In fact they were never so wofully discriminated If Congress should pass the against. bill allowing all vessels, regardless of nationality, to carry local passengers to and from San Francisco the relief would be complete. This is the one great desideratum which will save the day in our tourist and local travel. A recent acquisition, Mr. A. 11. Ford, is endeavoring to bind all the Pacific Islands and Australasia in one united' effort to turn the eyes of travelers to the wonders and beauties of this section of the world. Having learned to surf hoard here in a former visit, he is also stimulating interest in this king of sports and bids fair by his exertions to place it where it belongs in the van of our Island pastimes. If he could only resurrect the grass toboggan of the oldtime chiefs he would restore a most unique sport. The Nation Takes a Hand. That the entire American people is centering its interest in Hawaii is quite evident from the change of sentiment in Congress upon the question of adequately fortifying this group. Rumors of large appropriations sure to he voted either during the present or following session are insistent and believable, because of tbe favorable action of one or two committees, the attitude of the President and bis advisers, and the assurances of an increasingly large number of friends in both Houses of Congress. Work at Pearl Harbor has begun, the Diamond I lead fortifications are being pushed and' orders to double the accommodations at Fort Shatter are being executed. All this means a definite addition to the number of white residents. The tide has surely turned. We shall not see large evidences of the new order for two or three years, but after 1910 the upward movement will be very decided and fairly rapid. It behooves the historic Church of Christ in Hawaii to man its field thoroughly in anticipation of this new and permanent growth. For we are persuaded that coincident with the coming of people of moderate and large means won by our climate, and with the influx of laborers and soldiers incident to Uncle Sam's Cibraltar-plans for Hawaii, small farmers will drift over here lured by the sure promise of what these Islands are bound to mean to the Pacific coast as the chief source of their tropical fruit supply. not Disregard of Law. A recent number of Puck has a graphic double page picture of how the seeds of socialism are being sowed broadcast in our Nation by those who disregard the law. We commend this picture to every patriot in the Islands. It is bad enough when law as flouted by Labor Unionists in time of strike thru stonings and killing of scabs, worse when mobs of incensed whites do to death blacks suspected of nameless crime, still more inexcusable when men or corporations controlling millions of dollars deliberately set themselves to circumvent or break the laws and engage the keenest legal talent to keep Justice from exacting its penalty therefor, and worst of all when the authorities elected or appointed to enforce law defy or set at nought or disregard its provisions. Some two years ago The Friend had to speak out very emphatically and clearly on this point when the Police and Board of Health were overriding the law by fostering a center of ill fame at Iwilei. At that time not a little personal feeling was engendered in some quarters tho no possible personal offense was intended. Suffice is to say now that for tbe Police management of Honolulu THE FRIEND has unusual aloha. We believe that Col. laukea and Chief Taylor have administered their offices with distinguished honoi, with singular uprightness and public spirit and with remarkable success. Tney are a terror to law breakers in general and since they took office the city has been unusually free from crime and lawlessness. In its Board of Health 1lawaii has a right to he proud. It does most efficient service and its members are both devoted and most solicitous for the public welfare. For all of the gentlemen who compose the Board and who direct our guardians of the peace The FRIEND desires herewith to express the highest personal regard. But we have not vet reached the stage of human development when mistakes are not made by the best of men. Iwilei Again. It cannot be denied that with the connivance'or sympathy or fostering care (or whatever other pleasing phrase may cover the situation) of the Police and the Board of Health * a camp of prostitution is being maintained contrary to law at Iwilei. Into this camp an attempt is made to force practically all prostitutes and to secure medical inspection thereof. Into the details of the procedure it is not necessary to go. It is clear that this has been done on the theory that public opinion is with this method of treatment of the social evil. That may be so. Re- • We have heard it rumored that th« action here alluded to is not one lor which the Board ol Health as whole ii responsible but that it is the unauthorized a work ol the President of the Board. cently the matter was brought to the attention of the United States Grand Jury by the Ministerial Association and no action was taken. It is understood that the District Attorney is ready to proceed and end the Iwilei nuisance if supported by public opinion. The inaction of the Grand Jury seemed to argue that this potent force was on the side of violation of the law. The Territorial Grand Jury is now studying the question and may act. The Friend contends that public opinion or no public opinion our local government should enforce the law until public opinion sweep it from the statute books. Especially should this be done when any reputable section of the community, even tho not a majority, rises to demand the enforcement of the law. The dee Question. It is not an inspiring theme but in a community like ours it is healthier at times to speak the truth than to cover evil by silence. The action of the Police and the Board of Health proceeds upon the assumption that by segregation and medical inspection the menace to public health from the social evil can be obviated or lessened. This can not lie maintained scientifically, and practically is against the facts. Segregation is not segregating here. The evil while centered at Iwilei is scattered over the city. The medical inspection of some women secured by the police and Hoard' of Health in Honolulu is a farce. In support of this we appeal to such local authorities as Drs. Wood and Brinckerboff. Meantime by attempting what is proving a failure our authorities are practically maintaining an open, shameless center of vice, known to every man and youth in town, where the arm of the law gives sanction to the unholiest evil society holds. Here medical certificates, absolutely worthless and mendacious, hold out to the young the promise of immunity which is worse than a mockery. The very Board whose duty it is to preserve health thus indirectly becomes the sure means of disseminating disease. It is useless to claim that the Board does not require these examinations There are many and certificates. ways of getting things done by not doing them. We know of no such colossal and pitiably mean deceit as these certificates of cleanliness covering foulness so menacing to the public health. The plea of the President of the Board seems to be that these certificates are in the line of the requirement of the law which states, "It shall be the duty of every physician having a patient infected with smallpox or other disease dangerous to the public health to give immecfiate notice to the Board of Health," etc. �6 THE FRIEND.

We do not remember elsewhere to have met so wise a suggestion in all the range of license discussions as that of a requirement concerning public examination of all records of sale of liquors by wholesale licensed bouses. This would kill off blind pigism at one blow if penalty of Forfeiture of license for failure to record any sale or for any illegal sale were imposed by law. < >ne of the rarest and truest sections of the Report is that devoted to the breweries. It is stated that the brewers ami malsters of the United States have appropriated live millions of dollars to light the anti-saloon evil. Astutely enough they have thought to throw dust in the eyes of their opponents by offering join hands with temperance forces to liquor men on the ground that beer is harmless, They don't know the mettle of the Anti-Saloon Leaguers. Mr. Woolley handles the case without gloves. Honolulu and the Nation should ponder most tbotfullv Mr. Woolley's clear forth setting of the international menace held out by our saloons in such a danger center as this will become when large numbers of American sailors and soldiers arc thrown into close contrast with our Asiatic population. There is no special need of caution just at present, but at a lime of stress or il ever a delicate international situation should supervene these saloon disseminators of evil easily precipitate a temper might broil-engendered war. We believe thai if the Islands do not clean out the liquor traffic the Nation will feel called upon to do so for the sake of maintaining in Hawaii a fortress which shall be a guarantee of peace between the peoples that line the Great Ocean. Finally, the appeal of the Report to the leading white men of the Territory lo assert moral leadership sounds the keynote of the soto down the strong lution of the entire problem. We white men have blessed the Hawaiian people with our religion, our education, our liberty and our larger life. Put we also have cursed them and killed them off with our unmentionable diseases, our vices, our filthy politics, our murderous liquors and our insensate worship of gold. If the so-called Christian men of the Islands should renounce the use of intoxicants, banish them from home and club, throw their influence consistently against the saloon and all beverage use of alcoholic drinks, it would not take two yean to sweep the vile stuff forever out of this Paradise.

O. in this prosperity ? �THE FRIEND. 10 RANGE LIGHTS BY JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL.D. Annual Report of the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. During twenty years of more or less studious campaigning in the interest of local, state and national prohibition of the beverage liquor traffic, I have noted in every conumtnity a disposition to consider its own conditions peculiar and remarkable. In the case of this Territory there is some ground for such an opinion. The peril of the tropics is complaisance. There seems to be no emphatic ripening-season for plants or purposes. This climate is ethically super-tropical. Where things sometimes freeze or dry up, or drown out, or blow away, there is an arrest of thought that tends to providence and an appreciation of the value of preparation and decision. But even stimulating drawbacks are denied Utopia. It is handicapped with its perfection. It is almost too good to be true. Life here is a kind of realized immortality —an everlasting now. If one would think upon his later end the bewildered mind answers in surprise, why, this is it. If in some devout moment he would remember his creator, a answers: voice out of his deep contentment Creation is all over, but the enjoyment, this is the whole thing; "as it was in the beginning. is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. It is a population of Rasselasses, where every prospect counsels against radical change. It is a population of Adams where it is hard to take solemn warnings seriously. It is small, and, as in a good theater, every part of the stage is visible from every seat. Life goes on in the spot-light. Privacy is difficult. The wilderness, the solitude, the hand to hand devil-battle with self, unbacked and uncheered, is escaped mostly. The shut in. fireside home life, the great gymnasium of inclement countries for promptness, thoroughness and high resolve, is largely absent. But there is no excuse for base politics in suCh a society. Campaigns and administrations are wide-open. The body politic is not deceived. A drunkard or other incapable, in a place of important trust is fit enough for a public that knowingly winks at him. Caste exists. The whites are dominant, but divided sharply by Superiolatry and Ishmaolitry. The natives, trained to be led by the chiefs and the missionaries, and then abandoned by the American Board, are held to impossible standards by the better class of the white people, as to clean, efficient, independent citizenship and allbut abandoned to the training and exploitation of the rattiest lot of demagogues I have ever seen succeed. The Orientals drive out and keep out the hard-headed, hard-handed American farmer and mechanic, the good yeast of social ferment in any community. The mighty opportunity of education, given to masters and mistresses, in the employment of laborers that demand and command decent respect and gentle manners, in business intercourse, is almost wholly missing. The islands are volcanic politically as well as geologically, and erowth by eruption is a baffling method of development. Christianity or civilization, which is the same thing, dropped suddenly upon these barbarous islands, out of the sky as it seemed to the natives, but, as we know, out of New Bedford, with the doctrine of inherited total depravity taught by uncompromising fishers of men, with an inHexible theology administered from an office in Boston, seven months sail from the scene of action, and on the other hand, new possibilities of enjoying the unhappy inheritance, illustrated by certain jovial and irresponsible fishers of whales. The fishers of whales were not the best of men, but they were good mixers. They married native wives and founded, or. at least, disseminated families. The fishers of men were families, virtuous, detached, severe, that loved the natives wisely but not well enough even to let their children play with them. While the Bible had to he translated in order for the missionaries to perform their high and wholesome errand, the bottle was easy reading in the original, and immediately brought into compact working union, the weak and vicious elements of the beach. Then followed convulsion after convulsion, until Annexation at one of the darkest hours in our history installed American commercialism, without the clear necessity of social struggle, existing on the continent, and reduced all political problems to a study of sugar md whiskey, the natives having the votes and the whites having the money. But in all vital points this is the story of every new country. The strong men take to money. The weak men take to dissipation. Ihe shifty men take to politics. And politics is money to the mean. The salaries, the perquisites, the inside chances, loom very large to. eyes that focus small. Big men go for bigger money and keep out of politics, first because there isn't "enough in it,' then because it is too dirty to touch except from the outside by hired mercenaries who open law offices, and devote their talents not to practice but prac- —the poor in spirit, those who realize their nun limitations —the peacemakers—the merciful—the simple hearted—those who arc misunderstood, and criticised falsely. Tbe man who sells alcoholic drink is a traitor tn progress, the man who distributes a corruption fund among venal legislators is another, and both of them ought to be stoned to death— if there were anybody in a position to throw. But selling liquor is precisely as patriotic as selling licenses, and selling licenses is quite as patriotic as voting for license n;en. And "fixing" legislators is quite as patriotic as holding aloof from civic duty. And "there is so much bad in the best of us, as well as so much good in the worst of us. that it is a poor business for some of us to throw stimes at the rest of us." The Anti-Saloon League is common ChrisIt seeks the complete suppression of the beverage liquor traffic for the sake of everybody—including the liquor tian fellowship, in politics. seller. It seeks this not by might, nor by power. but by the will of the people, in the spirit of our free institutions. It forms no party. Tt booms no church. It seeks no short cut to It desuccess. It decries no competitor. nounces no honest opponent. Tt lays claim to no monopoly of wisdom or virtue. It simply urges the community to crystalizc the sentiment it possesses into legislation, or the enforcement of present law, for the present public good and the improvement of the public sentiment itself by exercise. I have been a member of the Prohibition Party for over twenty years and am proud of the fact. It did a great thing greatly. Tt drove the nation by its importunity to consider the liquor problem, as politics. But now that the nation does give attention from end to end of the union, by states, counties, cities and voting precincts, in all parties and outside of any party, its partizan occupation is gone, and it ought to be big enough and is big enough to glory in the discovery by the Anti-Saloon League of an inter-partizan program that results in such action as sets the liquor trade roaring like Caliban and begging for a chance mend its ways, and at the same time permits and encourages practical participation in the solution of all the other problems of the to tices. Thus for a time in every democracy, the day. scrub gets to the front in politics and the The importunate widow got herself into thoroughbred gets to the front in trade. Then sacred history with credit, not only because politics become so corrupt as to threaten busi- she got a hearing, but also because, when the until at length, the big brains return to the subject. The guaranty of the great reform movement now marching through the States is that economics at last has joined religion, to purge elections and legislatures. The remoteness of Hawaii from the centers, and certain embarrassments of affinity and consanguinity, retard reform here. Cousin-archy is a poor form of government for energy and courage. But the tide is coming in. And the elementary lesson for the Christian citizen is about the hardest one to see and to learn. It is that all of its, and all kinds of us, high, low. Jack and the game, must get together and lift together, or none of us will rise. By Christian citizen I mean any citizen that sincerely and practically longs and determines to help his neighbor, his time and his country. The divine economy ordains that classism, moral, mental, or material, means decay. The seggregated rich are the abjectest poor. The ness, seggregated aristocracy runs to idiocy. Seggregatcd labor runs to serfdom. Seggregated scholarship- runs to namby-pamby foolishness. The holier-than-thou Church runs to dry rot. And the first thing that one who entertains designs of public betterment ought to pray for is to be delivered from the "big head." All the Beatitudes are simply variations upon that single theme. Blessed are the bridle-wise iudge opened court and called her case to bar. she stopped the clamor and became a quiet witness in the trial. If she had kept on demanding trial and denouncing the judge, she would have lost her case and been sent to the ducking stool as a common scold—and served her right. The Press of America—the high sheriff of the court of public opinion, is crying now, in tones that ring from Alaska to Porto Rico, and from Maine to Manila. "Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! This court is now open for the trial of the liquor business, charged with poisoning the wells of civic life, liberty and happiness." And if my party now, should obstruct the course of justice by partizan vociferation, the sheriff will put it out of court as a brawler and a nuisance. The prohibition movement is no longer a mere aggitation. It is staple, practical, constructive politics, with the accent on cleanness and efficiency and a fair deal all round. And one who sets out to make use of his nieghbors for the purification of the government is as much bound to be decent to them as to be true to himself. I found the liquor situation in this Territory to be in the nature of a political China-shop, where a bull might exhibit great loyalty to his own point of view and yet make poor use �THE FRIEND. of the crockery. In such a condition one may serve bis cause by what he dues not do, even better than by what he does. I came to do good, so far as I could see the good, or to do nothing; and while I have to confess that I have done very little. I have not allowed anything to make tlie fussy. At the time of my arrival, causes already in motion were pro ducing good effects which it would have been folly to belittle and impossible, at the time, to improve. The law of 1907 was a licensing law and in my opinion bad fundamentally: but it was a clear advance in licensing legislation, and in effect, it has ham-strung the liquor power in the Islands. ers The appointment of commission- for the various counties had been made with singular discretion, and the experimental year of the new jxilicy has reflected clear credit on the new arrangement. T immediately sought the acquaintance of the commissioners and am glad to give my testimony to their high average quality as men and as officials. I at once offered my services as 1lie agent of the league and kept close watch of their work, but refrained from seeiuinir to meddle, and from asking for relatively little things, premature things, or impossible things. The frequent contentions in the board as to whether a certain man was good enough to be certified as a Saloon-keeper, I did not engage in. Xo man is got d enough to keep a saloon. But I (lid urge upon tbe various boards the single proposition that there were already enough saloons. To have claimed anything more radical at their hands would have been useless and foolish. The law was new and was entitled to a fair trial. The commissioners were untrained in their duties and unacquainted with the liquor traffic, at close, studious range. But their education was advancing rapidly. The press was favorable to reform. The liquor dealers were disconcerted and frightened. The new plan was working fairly well. The election was more than a year in the future. It is no small compliment to ihe law and those who administer it. that the liquor dealers are so afraid of it. They intend to effect its repeal and are already working to that end. That ought to be prevented and can be prevented. Failing to repeal the statute or emasculate it, they intend to cripple it by getting "liberal' men appointed to fill vacancies as they occur. This too must be prevented and can be prevented. This Territory is unlikely to have a governor who would intentionally play into the hands of the liquor trade; but neither is any governor likely to have prompt and accurate information as to the peculiar fitness of eligible men, unless it is furnished by this league. Nor can the league have it unless it canvasses the subject county by county in advance of any vacancy. The precise attitude of men to familiar matters, and the temper of their courage are hard to know off hand. The liquor dealers know their case every hour, and keep a constant watch and pressure 011 the administration, from the governor down. We must do as much. Undoubtedly the incorrigibly bad character of the liquor traffic is impressing the minds of the commissioners. But it sceus to me that they have not yet fully grasped the idea which they represent, legally and morally. They seem to deal with applicants and protestors as if they were before the board in the relation of litigants, raising issues of justice as be- tween the two. There are. of course, no such issues involved. The applicant for a license may triumphantly refute every intimation of his unfitness and answer every objection to his location; he may show the protestor to be a rival, a villain, or a fool, the particular ground 11 of protest frivolous, aed his petition regular, tion is most aggressively, dangerous and and Unanimous within the statutory thousand vicious.

It assumes tbe incapac ily. or corruptibility of public servants, Il leaches that money can bed the smart that honor feels. It is economically ridiculous; no license revenue ever equalled the cost the trade entailed.

The teachers.

I distributed over six thousand badges, tingift of Mr. John S.

The English exercise was excellent for tbe children and the letters received were a mine of human interest. I do not doubt that many lives have thus been direelly influenced for good, but my chief purpose was to gel the subject Up in the homes, with the children as promoters and missionaries, and I have ample evidence that the plan, as to that, was very successful. In connection with this school campaign 1 have spoken to the conventions of native ministers on the various islands, and met personally the most influential people of the sections visited, and I believe the anti-saloon sen linient is general and growing. Notable meetings of this kind were at I.ilme. Koloa, Klcclc. Lahaina, Kahului, Makawao. Paia, Wailuku, inupah__.ua, lluclo, Hilo, Kealakekua, Waikane and Waialua. Tar too often in my travels.

This league does not exist to punish people, but to leach and persuade them not to establish public incubators of lawlessness. I am a lion hunter, and have been stalking the noblest game in the islands—the schools, the churches and the homes. out the churches and the homes of this 'Territory moral progress. Having first obtained the permission of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, I have visited practically all Ihe schools in Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii (except Puna and Kohala, which unfortunately I had to miss for lack of tune.

The eager ness of the cosmopolitan little audiences to bear and to learn, ihe almost tragic depth and are round about every hope of ture of things and unsupported by any pertinent facts. Our issue might confidently be left to the Hawaiian voters alone, if they could have it uncomplicated, on the merits. And I am very free to say that, all things considered, this Territory might well be proud of Us native citizens, and that it would be a long step toward the needed house-cleaning in tcrlilorial politics if the white people would stop misjudging and misrepresenting the Hawaiians and begin to set them a better example. Frequently too I run against the mouldy nonsense, that "men will drink" and "men will get drunk." That's a lie, and its author was the father of lies. If the good, dominant, white men of these islands will abstain from drink and teach abstinence, on principle and by example, and make conditons favorable to abstinence, in business and in legislation, the tendency will lie for men Ml to drink, nor to get drunk. Too many of your good, strong. prosperous, masterful white men use these drinks in their clubs, in their homes and in public places, and the men thai fail through drink are boys who tried to do as they do and were not strong enough to go the gait. The crying need of these islands is clean breathed and clean-handed white men to prove up brotherhood and Christian derm cr.icy in social and political life.

The liquor forces are already organizing a campaign of education in the interest of popular ignorance It is a movement that ought not to be criticized, nor hindered. It is well within their undoubted rigbls asciti /ens, and really ill our interest ; for the absurdity of educating the people to drink alcoholic beverages is so manifest that a wayfaring man though an awful fool, and drunk, can see it as be staggers home from that school. But it must he met with simple, truthful, re sped fill teaching of science, religion and the observation of cinumon life. There can he no uncertainty as to Ihe outcome of that com petition. For .'is Mr. Lincoln once said and to the end of his life maintained: "The real issue in this controversy, the one pressing upon every mind that gives the subject careful consideration, is that legalizing the manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is wrong—as all history and every dc vclopnieiit of the traffic proves it to be—a moral, social and political wrong." Toward the outlawry of this miserable busi ness, alias vice, we work and ought to work until we win, not by shrewd politics, or any kind of benevolent, paternalistic tyranny, but by ihe free will of the majority expressed in democratic forms This 'Territory is not yet ready for the issue, put so broadly and far-reachingly.

The ground upon which the objection was raised being that of Christian comity. Christian comity prevailed, "The Hoard," for the time being, not pressing its Kalihi obligation, ln the meanwhile the Christian Church erected its chapel on (iulick avenue and took up English-speaking work in Kalihi, building the work up from an afternoon Sunday School held in a private home. Providence however seemed unwilling to release "The Hoard" from its obligation to that field. The renewal of the call to "The Hoard" to put its shoulder to the wheel and carry forward its Kalihi obligation came through the Macedonian cry of the Kalihi-Moanalua Church which was being crowded to the wall and face to face with a struggle which meant life or death. Life if it established work in English, death if it went on in the same old way. The Kalihi-Moanalua t hutch, tlinnigh its pastor, Rev. \Y. K. I'oai, bravely decided to face changed conditions and live. 'I"he., fell that they had a right to the field as they had heen there since 18(17 mv that their Board had no right under the plea of Christian comity to desert them and hand the field over to another denomination. Hence, through the pastor of the Church, the Hawaiian Hoard was asked to lake up its obligation and once again renew its efforts for the upbuilding of Christ's Kingdom in Kalihi. Ihe appeal -0 "The Hoard" was made by the pastor of the Kalihi Moatialua Church to the agent of the 1 lawaiian Hoard (if the island of ( )ahu. The agent in his official capacity invited me to assist him in this work and later on the Church, through its pastor, repeatedly urged me to continue in the work of the English Department (if the Kalihi-Moanalua Church. I have thus given a rather lengthy hut complete answer to the first question. Ihe next question frequently asked me is, "Chamberlain, what are you doing down there in Kalihi.''" In answering this question I am constrained to say with the "Psalmist," "Let them shout for joy. and be glad, that favor thy righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long." The Kalihi-Moanalua Church has certainly been making great progress since establishing an English-speaking department. One of the most pleasing aspects of this new movement is the renewed and enlarged life of the native department of the work. The congre- ' �14 gat ions have increased, the member ship has grown. A much greater interest is being taken in the work by the natives. ( >nc seeing the Kalihi-Moanalua Church and grounds in September of nineteen hundred and six (iooo), when the Church entered upon its struggle for life, by establishing the English department, would hardly recognize it for the same place. The natives have repainted and made sound and whole the old Church building, cut out the trees and cleaned out the yard, built a large hall for concerts, Sunda. school gatherings, socials and for whatever other purposes it may be needed, and rebuilt and white-washed the fence. In fact the new life and impetus to the Hawaiian side of the work which this lorward movement has engendered is remarkable. 'Ihe credit is in no way due to myself, but wholly due to the natives themselves under the leadership of their pastor, Mr. I'oai. Such is the reflex action of this movement. Now a word about the English work. The English department of the work is not centered in the native Church building. Such centering could onlylead to confusion. The idea is to have Ihe two departments as independent of each other as are the two legs of the body and yet as closely related, both being subject to the one controlling, governing body, the head, or the Church. This will necessarily he of slow growth. The topography of the Kalihi-Moanalua field makes it necessary to center a part of the work on the site where tlie Church formerly stood on Gulick avenue. The native department is centered in the buildings on Kamehameha Fourth road and from this center carries on work in its various chapels, one being in the valley or Kalihi-ttka, one at Moanalua and a growing Sunday School and Christian Endeavor Society, at what is called the Cam]) or Kalihi-kai. The English department is centered near the new Kalihi-waena school building, on ground owned by the Church. The Church owning two ktileanas with a road frontage on Gulick avenue of one hundred and twenty or more feet. Betides the Sunday School, which is held in the native Church building, we have a Senior English-speaking Christian Endeavor Society of twenty-three members. This society is contributing toward the support of Christian Endeavor work in Japan. It has also contributed to the support of the American Board and intends to lend a supporting hand to all our great benevolent societies. Twice it came within a fraction of taking the senior banner at the rally of the Young People's Union of Oahu. THE FRIEND. Ihe name of the society is the Kauikeaotili C. E. Society. We have a nice large Junior C. L. Society, which has twice, due to the energy of Mrs. Nakuiiia, its superintendent, and her assistant, taken the Junior Hanner of the ()ahu Union. We have a boys' club with both senior and junior departments. There are twenty-four enrolled members of the senior and twenty-live enrolled members of the junior depart- sure access then is another advantage of this salubrious suburb of Honolulu. As well as climate, people and accessibility to town, we have room for large growth, as Kalihi covers a big area of country and in the coining years will have a dense population. Xow is the time to lay the foundation for a great work which is surely coming. In closing let me say that what our work in Kalihi is now calling for is not ment. "Ihe fields are white unto har- money to put up buildings and playvest," "but the laborers are few, Oh, ground equippage, for a prospective how few! in comparison with the work and the dense population which need, l'ray ye therefore the Lord of is coming, but facilities and proper the harvest, that he send forth laborers equipage for the work we now have. into his harvest."

A commodious chapel has just been dedicated with appropriate services at Wauini, a place about midway between llanalei and Kilauea where there is a small secluded community. This station is in connection with the llanalei Church. A similar chapel was erected a few years ago at I laena, on the other side ul" llanalei. The llanalei Church displayed a commendible energy and perseverance in building these two chapels in addition tn other burdens, the more especially as it is an impecunious district. of the problems that arises on of church site. A number of the church buildings have been erected on government land under long lease to plantations which they served. These leases have now expired and the lands are being cut up for homestead occupation. At first it was thought that these sites could he granted to the churches in possession, at a nominal figure without being put up at public sale. Put this is imt now considered feasible and it looks as though the churches will have to go into the open market and perhaps hid a high figure for the land which they have made valuable. The inspiration, assistance and guidance of friend's of the white race is a most valuable asset of any Hawaiian church. This is strikingly evidenced at Lihue where there is a strong and active church and Sunday school, though the Hawaiian community is scattered. This is very largely due to the help and interest of generous friends of the white race —who give not only of their means, but most generously of time and strength. It is a pity there are not more such friends of the Hawaiians throughout the Islands. J. M. L. ()ne Kauai is that I FRIDAY.

Hence its tremendous influence upon public opinion. Evil doers in the community hate it and fear it. One of the strongest bits of anti-saloon writing, outside of some of its editorials, which we have seen in a long time was the article by Frederick J. Haskins in the issue of April 9. The truth is the economic argument is surely converting the business interests of the world and the saloon and brewery must go. It will take time, the brewery may print its specious arguments by the millions, but the drink-weakened man and the drinkweakened cause have got to go to the ment. wall as surely as nature's laws work.

What Honolulu can do, and we believe will do, is to give the Fleet an honorable, clean, twentieth-century reception that will be a credit to herself, the Territory and the Nation. The way we treat the Fleet will prove our best promotion trump card.

If this Order be rigorously caried out it will be uossible to test the effect of the withdrawal of this beverage upon the Japanese field hands throughout the Territory. If these laborers think that by raising a hue and cry they will effect anything they may be trusted to squeal as noisily as possible, liut if the purveyors of public opinion among them realize the inevitahleness of Uncle Sam's decrees and pass the word along "shikata get nai," the Japanese community will settle down as quietly as a Mrs. Winslow-syruped baby. It will be interesting to see which of these courses will eventuate. The Friend makes no prophesies concerning so unfathomable an unknown quantity as how Japanese will act in a given case. It is possible that this Order and the effect it causes here may prove our strongest argument in favor of Congressional prohibition of the liquor traffic in Territories. Whatever the outcome the Order is grist to the Temperance Mill. - �5 THE FRIEND was welcome. Everyone recognized the eminent wisdom of the choice. Dr. Cofer is a public servant of wide reputation. His appointment is a formal recognition by our Governor and the Federal authorities, who gave him permission to accept the position, that the office is of national importance. Hawaii's Board of I lealth bears a heavy responsibility because Honolulu is one of the country's great gateways. To keep these Islands free from propagatable disease and pestilence is a task of the first moment to AsiawLeague, embrace all other Americans who think with them, carry their organization to the mainland and extend it slowly but steadily, using money and brains to enlarge their propaganda, bind together a body of voters pledged to down every candidate who will not vote to put Asiatics on the same basis with all other races and they will surely win. In America votes count. Votes are massed by agitation. Eternal justice is on the side of this movement. Therefore it must prevail. It will take time. It will cost work, but it is an entrancing campaign. Whenever a Congressional delegation or a national legislator visits Hawaii, let this Justice to Asia League get in its fine work. God speed the undertaking. the entire Nation. The appointment of Dr. Cofer is a guarantee that all the resources of modern science will he marshalled in this undertaking. Dr. Cofer has shown the highest public spirit in the manner of his acceptance of this responsibility. The Nation, as well as our Territory, is to be congratulated upon having at such a post so devoted and Easter Sunday. able a public servant.

It seemed' as tho the entire people had passed thru a mighty transformation in a moment, comparable only to a conversion of the Pauline type in an individual. It was one of the great experiences of our Nation, well worth living to witness and to share. Something of the same sort is transpiring now, only in a more leisurely and less spectacular fashion and the people of the Union are beginning to see that the Pacific is to be the ocean of the future. Hence a voice from the Pacific calling definite attention to this world movement which is shifting human interest so fundamentally would fall into harmony with the deeper thought of the Nation and meet respectful hearing. Among all the candidates of both parties for nomination to the Presidency there is one and only one who knows at first hand the problem of the Pacific, only one who has fitted himself to deal with the questions vital to both Asia and America which are sure to emerge into first prominence during the next few years, only one in whom the people of the Union can have abiding confidence as a safe leader in the disposal of the Philippines, even as he is the only one who has a definite workable policy for the Pacific and that one is William H. Taft. There is every reason, therefore, in large statesmanship why Hawaii should have endorsed Mr. Taft and should have told its reason for so doing. This reason could have been framed in terms of honest respect for the other candidates on the ground that Mr. Taft had enjoyed opportunities thru the exigencies of public service that had been denied to the other statesmen, all of them good men, who have been proposed for the nomination. The fact that in the past there has been some friction between Mr. Taft and representatives of a number of our Island interests would only have enhanced the value of an endorsement of his candidacy upon such statesmanlike grounds. There would have been no suspicion of currying favor. The action would have been honorable to him, to ourselves and to the Nation. It would have commanded respect and would have carried weight. As it is Hawaii's Republican Party has adopted the role of the chicken with open mouth, ready to run after anyone that will drop corn its way. We are an entirely negligible quantity and must remain such unless the votes chance to run so close that our two will turn the scale. D.

It sounds wants to be able to say it this year and there are about fifteen days of our year (to May 15.) left in which to qualify.

LooKed at another way, the Apostle Paul could not say it. On the contrary "I am DEBTOR both to GreeKs and Barbarians"--for "good tidings" was what he said. As to our Island debt in this matter of "good tidings" we have a big charge against us. We may not have to go out of our own families to find "GreeKs." How would our own children pass as "GreeKs,"—whose future will be determined largely by the way we meet our debts? For "Barbarians" (no disparagement intended—the difference lies in priveteges)we have the laborers on our plantations. This year they are pouring into our laps the biggest harvest in our history. Do we owe them nothing—we Christians? Paul added "as much as in me is, J am ready to bring 'good tidings.' " A LEADER PROMOTED. Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall. D.D., LL.D., president of Union Theological Seminary, New York, and twice Haskell Lecturer in India, died at his home March 25, after a surgical operation, performed as a forlorn hope to save his life, Dr. Hall, who was a cousin of Mrs. A. Francis Judd and Mrs. J. H. Pratt of this city, was one of the most distinguished Christian leaders in the United States. He was a graduate of Williams College, had studied two years in Union Seminary and had supplemented his course by further research in England and Scotland. After a two years' pastorate in Ncwburg, N,. Y„ he was called to the hirst Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, where he remained until eleven years ago when he was chosen President of Union Seminary. This institution at once entered Upon a new career of enlarged influence. Dr. Hall affiliated it to Columbia University and broadened its seo|x> so as almost to warrant for it the title of a Theological University.

Kusaie, Caroline Islands, Jan. 7, K>o.S. hi ask me to suggest a way of sending money or things down here. I will take you at your word, and tell you just what 1 want. It is nothing very small, nor very cheap, and I have no idea of asking you for it, unless you can get Rockefeller or Carnegie to give you a cheek for it. Put I want a printing press the very most of anything. During the course of a year I do a good deal of translating for our school and for the Knsaien Sunday School. Most of my work is only of temporary value, because we have no press. If I had a small press I could make much better use of my time, the time spent in translating. 1 am translating a small book into Kusaien, but if it has to be sent to America to be printed it will cost a good deal. If I printed it here, by selling it. I could get back part of what I paid for the press. 1 sent for a catalogue some time since, and a driving rain comes in all around the windows. Put it does not rain all the time, even on Kusaie and a room is certainly a luxury. We had a very quiet Christmas, all by ourselves. The Knsaicns celebrated at Lelu, and we sent them some tilings from here, but did not see our way clear to have them here, nor to go around there. We ourselves had our festivities on Christmas eve, the girls seemingly enjoying their simple gifts just as much as they would have larger and more expensive ones. For our feast Christmas Day we had an ox killed. The man killed and dressed it on Christmas eve. and took one-quarter (we gave it, of course) for his trouble. The rest of the beast hung in our canoe house until early the next morning, when I took some of the girls, a knife and an axe, and went down and cut it up. The man who killed it, and our two boys, had all gone to Lelu during the night, and there was no one on this side of the island except Miss Wilson and me, with the girls. So you sec it was a work of necessity. I cut it up in pieces small enough for the girls to carry Up the hill, then Miss Wilson had to take care of it up there. My arm was lame for a week afterwards.

Miss Charlotte L.

He has been one of the most devoted of pastors, and a remarkable man in his loving tact and helpful spirit. Through his efforts work among the Chinese was first begun in Kula, Maui, and he raised the money for the Chinese church and school in that locality. He was also the person under Miss Turner's direction who collected such large sums for the Wailuku Chinese church and parsonage. The funeral service was largely attended by Chinese and towns-people. Seldom do twenty-five hacks in Wailuku follow a body to the grave. Mr. Ting leaves a wife and eight children, all of whom arc an honor to their parents. The eldest son is the well known clerk in the Baldwin National Bank of Kahului. The work on Maui has made steady progress during the last three months. Ulupalakua Church has been dedicated, eight hundred' dollars for which was raised by the Hawaiian people in that district. At the time of dedication fourteen charter members formed the new church. The Wailuku Kaahumanti Church has paid off two-thirds of the debt of over $s<x>; Hale Aloha, in Lahaina, has been completed at a cost of about $2,000, and Union Church, in Wailuku, has made decided improvements in the shape of new doors, a repaired basement which is to he used for a primary Sunday School room for white and Hawaiian children. The introduction of the Pilgrim Responsive Readings—the gift if the Women's Aid Society—has greatly unproved the services of the church. Weekly ofTcring envelopes have aided in bringing in regular contributions. Some discouraging reports were unfortunately circulated in Honolulu concerning the work of the church, hut never in the brief history of the last three years have the audiences been more steady, and the financial and spiritual side of the church in a more flourishing condition. Two new members were received at the last communion. At Lahaina the beautiful lot recently given by Mrs. Abbie K. Campbell-Parker has been put into splendid shape as a public park, and the work on the parsonige begun, so that all may be in readiness for the coming of the new pastor, who is work with our Rev. D. W. K. White on that side of Maui. The work of all our churches is steadily progressing. There is large sympathy and hearty cooperation among all our R. B. Dodge. workers. to �8 THE FRIEND EXPERT OPINION UPON MR. WOOLLEY. The Anti-Saloon League assembled in executive session on April 20 and unanimously adopted with enthusiasm the following minute, which speaks for itself: In bidding farewell to Hon. John G. Woolley, its superintendent since August, 1007, the Anti-Saloon League of Hawaii hereby expresses its deep appreciation of the remarkable work accomplished by him during the few months he has been with us. Coming to these islands in ignorance of the peculiar conditions existing here, Mr. Woolley set about his campaign in the quietest fashion, rapidly accptainted himself with the situation and disappointed both the opponents of temperance and the lukewarm good people by making no mistakes, by inaugurating no noisy propaganda and by addressing himself to the strategic points. With rare tact he cooperated with the liquor commissioners so helpfully that he led them to see the wisdom of the policy of not licensing saloons not demanded by public opinion, and made clear the need of strengthening the present law at several points to safeguard the public weal. Inaugurating a campaign throughout the public and private schools of the Territory, all of which, with a few exceptions, he visited and addressed, he carried the temperance question into the homes of the people with the result that over six thousand children, with the consent of their parents, registered, themselves against alcoholic drinks. This movement was carried on most quietly, with no spectacular features, and, if followed up, promises more for temperance in the Islands than anything ever before attempted. By personal intercourse with men, Mr. Woolley has won over some notable recruits to the Anti-Saloon forces, and his facile pen has had due share in causing the pervasive change of sentiment throughout the Territory against the liquor curse. His coming has marked an epoch in the progress of this reform here. His wisdom in not doing many things that people expected him to do, his unerring insight into what the local situation demanded, and his making good in supplying the demand, have rendered his services on behalf of social uplift in Hawaii invaluable. Our league relinquishes him to the mainland with keen regret so far as our Islands are concerned, but with joyful anticipations of the part he will be called upon to play in the larger field before him. THEODORE A. WALTRIP. Kahului's new pastor, who will reach his field towards the end of this month, is a young man nearing his prime. He took his A. B. at Westfield College, Illinois, and his B. D. at the Union Biblical Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. After graduating from the latter he taught three years in a California Academy and then returned to his Alma Mater to teach for two years. He next served a four years' term as pastor at Lakewood, N. V., and then moved to Phoenix where he was pastor of the Congregational Church for five years. He has a wife but no children. Mr. and Mrs. Waltrip will sail from San Francisco on the Nevadan, May 15. CHINESE IN HAWAII ACTIVE. ASK A LIMITED Nl'Mlil'.R OF I.AMORERS FOR IMPORTANT RICE INDUSTRY ROB OF THE ISLANDS. 3.

They manifested great interest and' enthusiasm, and vet considered the question in a dignified and fair-minded spirit. There was not the slightest antagonism to America, but the most friendly spirit shown in all the discussions. The Chinese felt that they could trust Congress to treat them fairly when conditions were fully understood. When the facts are known certainly Hawaii's rice industry will not be left to go to ruin. Rev. E. W. Thwing made the first address. He was followed by the Chinese Consul, Mr. Tseng Hai, who made a splendid speech and told the Chinese that they should all work together for this important end. He promised to heartily cooperate with them. The following resolutions were passed unanimously and with much enthusiasm, the Chinese Consul promising also to send them to the Chinese ambassadcv at Washington: 1. Resolved, That we, the Chinese of Hawaii, begin a campaign of information, to furnish the people of the United States with real facts as to the Chinese of Hawaii. 2. Resolved, That the important rice industry, begun and fostered by Chinese toil in these Islands, deserves consideration and support from the Congress of the United States. at Lihue the Island. The various reports indicate a prosperous condition of the churches, there being 40 accessions during the past half year. A well equipped new church building at Wanini, in the Hanalci parish, had been dedicated during the term. Among other matters the following created a good deal of interest and dis- cussion : Hawaiian Board Day —A resolution was passed recommending the adoption of one special Sunday in the year as Hawaiian Board Sunday on which occasion the work of the Hawaiian Board should receive the attention of every church in the Islands, with a view to informing the public in regard to this work and stimulating general interest in it. This matter will be brought to the attention of the General Association at Hilo. Permanent Lay Members—A resolution was introduced to add six new names under this head to the membership of the Association. In the spirited discussion which followed it was pointed out that the purpose of the Association was to represent the churches, each church being entitled to representation by pastor and one delegate. This kept a practically even balance of pastoral and lay members. Already there were six permanent lay members in addition to the church delegates, to add to those six more would increase the lav membership out of all proportion to the pastoral membership as �THE FRIEND there were only six pastors present. Furthermore, it was not clear whom these permanent lay delegates were going to represent. The churches had their own elected delegates whom they could control. Apparently these lay members would represent only themselves and would be independent of control, and the twelve of them might easily swamp the Association. It was wisely decided not to add to the present number of such members and in future to restrict the number. A resolution was then introduced to remove the six now in existence, but this was voted down as unwise, retroactive legislation. There was considerable discussion in regard to Mr. Lydgate's so-called ministers' school for the instruction of the churches. At present it is being held at Lihue, Hanapepe and Kilauea. The Hanalei people value this instruction very much and would gladly attend in much larger numbers but for the difficulty of getting to Kilauea. They pointed out that very few attended from Kilauea and therefore they requested that the sessions of this school be transferred to Hanalei. This, however, was strenuously resisted by some who came from the other direction, especially by one old lady wdio declared that she never missed a session, no matter what the weather, though she had to ride ten miles to it. Finally Mr. Lydgate solved the problem by offering to hold an extra session at Hanalei, a proposition which met with instant and unanimous favor. A unanimous petition came from the Waimca church calling Mr. J. A. Akina to the pastorate of that church, which he has been serving as a licentiate for some months with much acceptance. The call was approved by the Association and arrangements made for his ordination. Ile is a man of a good deal of ability and it is hoped that he will prove a valuable addition to the ministry. Very serious charges were preferred against the character of J. K. Apolo, one of the lay members of the Association and special traveling Secretary of the Christian Endeavor Societies. _On investigation, however, by a special committee they were found to be without much foundation and he was exonerated from blame, though cautioned to avoid the appearance of evil. A very enjoyable new feature of the Association was the special music interspersed through the meetings, a feature which it is hoped may be retained in future meetings of this kind. At times the discussions became very spirited indeed, not to say turbulent, and it seemed as though the outcome must be bitterness and enmity, but in every case peace and unity followed and the interests of well being were furthered. 9 The new Secretary elect, Rev. W. B.

KAUAI NOTES. The Lihue Church (Foreign) observed Holy Week as a week of prayer with much interest and inspiration. The services were held in the afternoon mostly and were attended by Hawaiians as well as whites. On Good Friday there was a special service appropriate to the occasion which was largely attended. On Easter Sunday there was a special service, largely musical and responsive, including a fine anthem by the choir and a very pleasing solo by Mrs. W. H. Rice. A special collection was taken for the .American Board. At Koloa there were special Easter services, with excellent music by the choir and a special collection for the American Board. The Easter spirit also reached Fleele where a similar Easter service was enjoyed' and a similar collection taken. EASTER CELEBRATIONS. Ten Sunday Schools gathered in the large auditorium of the Central Union Church for their union Easter celebration, crowding both the main floor and the gallery and many standing in the remaining floor space. For lack of room the large schools of Kawaiahao and Kamakapili could not 1)e invited to join, but had been requested to be represented by delegates. An abundance of lilies and asters, ferns, vines and grasses lent their loveliness to the occasion. Hymns that had been practiced for the occasion for several weeks past were rendered in unison that was inspiring. A few minutes were allotted to each school to render some exercise prepared by its scholars, and a fitting address was delivered by Mr. B. Y. Mitchell, on the nobility of the life of sacrifice. A flutter of excitement was experienced in the expectant throng when the "Sunshine" song, specially prepared for the day, was called for. Many parts of the program had been rendered in strange tongues, but now in English from every part of the building and with an enthusiasm akin to the song of the Angels, ranp out the words, " 'Tis sunshine, 'tis sunshine, that makes the world so bright," and the effect was truly thrilling. The Japanese Easter anthem, "Yomigaeri no Uta," was rendered on the evening of Faster Sunday in both the Nuuanu and the Makiki churches. At the Makiki Church service thirty-eight adults and two infants were baptized at the Easter communion service. FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MAKIKI CHURCH. The fourth anniversary of the organization of the Makiki Church, and the second of the erection of its fine church edifice, was celebrated on Wednesday evening, April Bth. All the sliding doors hail to be thrown open to accommodate the audience, and addresses by Rev. Wm. P. Oleson and Consul Saito were enthusiastically received. A special piece was rendered' by a male choir of fifteen voices. The Consul spoke eloquently of the elemental principles of righteousness which exalt a people, and showed that while Japan had made praiseworthy and remarkable advance in the material civilization and wisdom of the West, she was incredibly slow in embodying in her life the spiritual forces which are the real source and power of that civilization. Material power and advance is but a bauble —a single hole in the bottom of a battleship and its power is forever annihilated ; a single defect in material progress and it is undermined ; but the civilization which is embodied in high spiritual ideals and has its foundations in eternal righteousness, has alone the guaranty of permanence. At the close of the service many gathered around the pastor, Rev. T. Okumura, and expressed their congratulations on the work which has been so signally blessed. The church, which began four years ago in a small room nine feet square with three members, has at the date of this anniversary a membership of 170, two Sunday Schools with 147 members, and a thoroughly wideawake Christian Endeavor Society. It is carrying on a mission in Kakaako and in Moiliili and is pushing its activities in every direction with a modesty and efficiency which betoken a deep spiritual life pervading its pastor and people. �10 THE FRIEND MAKIKI JAPANESE CHURCH ( See page 9. ) NOTES FROM THE FIELD BY FRANK S. SCUDDER The Kingdom of Heaven is like THE OAHU ASSOCIATION The Oahu Association, which was in session from April 10-14, WSI an unusually representative gathering of our workers, delegates being present from the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese churches. The business of the Association was mainly that connected with the affairs of the churches as such, and the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor, but subjects of social reform also came in for a good share of attention. Early in the program the keynote of the occasion was struck in a stirring address from the new Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, the Rev. Win. B. Oleson, who in a picturesque style and with striking illustrations spoke of the splendid partnership in which we are called to participate in winning the world to Christ, and how Christ depends upon us men to carry out our side of the partnership into which he has entered with us. One of the many telling illustrations of the power of cooperation was that of a stage party which was stuck in a heavy unto Treasure Hid in road at the bottom of a hill. The driver fastened a rope to the stage and called upon all the passengers to lend a hand until the hill top was gained, after which they might ride again. All cheerfully complied and bent their strength to the task, the driver pulling in the lead, and the stage went Spinning up the grade. Gradually, however, the driver felt an increasing burden, progress was slow, and at last the stage came to a stop. Turning about he found that the travelers, wearied of the sport, had <lropj)ed back one by one and resumed their places in the stage. This was a picture of a church which leaves all its work to be done by its pastor, With equally telling illustrations he showed how by cooperation watches are made, magnificent buildings are reared, and steamers are sent freighted across the seas, and that no task can baffle those who arc in partnership with God. a Field* ciation was the new plan of separate sessions for the different races. All met together for devotional exercises and for the English addresses and business transactions, hut papers on assigned topics had been prepared by Hawaiians, Chinese and Japanese, each of whom in his own tongue delivered his paper in separate session before the people of his own nationality. Afterwards all met again in joint assembly and the principal points of the papers and discussion which came up in the separate sessions were given in English and interpreted so that each nationality could get the benefit of the wisdom and counsel of the other. This plan was put into practice for this time, as an experiment, and on a limited scale. It proved so satisfactory, however, that hereafter the time allotted for separate sessions will be considerably increased. Worthy of especial mention was the paper by Mr. T. Kajiro, on the subject, VARIOUS NATIONALITIES IN SEPARATE "The Attitude of our Churches and PeoSESSION. ple to the Reform Movement." He had made a special investigation of the JapanA distinguishing feature of this Asso- ese bath houses of Honolulu, and found �11 THE FRIEND. them sadly in need of reformation. No such condition can be found in all Japan as exists here and the Japanese are both ashamed and aggrieved that such a menace not only to their own people, but to the 1 lawaiians and Chinese who also frequent these places, should be countenanced in this city. For over thirty years, he said, the bath houses in Japan have been under the strictest governmental regulations, and he hoped that the people of Honolulu would take up the cause in behalf of this reform, and subject the bath houses, not merely to inspection and supervision, which is useless, but to the rigid regulation of law. Papers were also presented on"The Christian Endeavor and the Church," "The Pastor and His Sunday School." A concert was one of the numbers on the evening program, and on Sunday the Association was favored with an address hy Hon. J. (i. Woolley, who made an earnest appeal for a manly stand by the people of these Islands against the destroying power of the liquor traffic. GLEANINGS FROM QUARTERLY REPORTS. Rev. Messrs. Ctilick and Scudder in their tour among the Japanese through Kona and on Maui in February at every meeting had excellent audiences and earnest attention. Nothing was more apparent in these fields than the beneficial influence of the resident missionaries upon the evangelists within their territory, and the example of fraternity among the races, made so evident by the oneness of the Christian forces in their work. From Maui we get tidings of the dedication of a new Hawaiian church at Ulupalakua, eight hundred dollars of the total cost being raised by the Hawaiian people in that district. The Wailuku Kaahumanu Church has paid off two-thirds of its debt of $500; Hale Aloha, in Lahaina, has been completed at a cost of about $2000; and decided improvements have been made in the Union Church at Wailuku. From Hilo we learn that the First Foreign Church received five into membership at the last communion; and that eight were received into membership in the Portuguese Church at that place. Mr. Ho Tsz Tsung, our Chinese evangelist at Hilo holds street meetings down town each Sunday night when the weather permits. Central Kona Church has a new $90 organ, paid for, and only $16 of the cost came from outside friends. At a recent Christion workers' conference in Kona, Hawaii, under the direc- tion of Rev. Dr. Baker there was an attendance of 21, the members coming from considerable distances. Such themes as these were discussed: "The Home and what it should be"; "Christianity in relation to public affairs"; "Prayer meeting hints." I lelani Church, in Kona, Hawaii, dedicated a new chapel three months ago on land acquired for it DV the Hawaiian Board last year. The old parsonage on the shore furnished the material for this 20x40 building, and the people paid the cost of erection, $118.85. They have just bought two koa trays with fifty communion glasses. The need of this chapel is seen by a maximum attendance the past quarter of 92, and" a minimum of 68. Rev. James Unchurch of the Kailua Church, Kona, Hawaii, reports a maximum attendance during the first quarter of 1908 of 100, and a minimum of 50; at Sunday School 104 and 53, respectively; and at Christian Endeavor meetings 60 and 46. Twelve persons have joined the church on confession and twelve babies have been baptized. He has visited 45 families in the three months and his salary is all paid. At the Pookela Portuguese Church, at Makawao, Rev. M. (i. Santos received seven young people at the recent communion, five of them being on profession of faith. The Sunday School, under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Tavares, is making progress both in attendance and efficiency. The coming home of Miss Mikahala Awana, a graduate of Kaniehameha, adds another valuable worker to the school. tainly inherit the earth, and find a great deal of pleasure in the heritage. There are times when everything goes well and a tour is an all round pleasure trip, and again there are times when the problems which face us are sufficiently absorbing to render us oblivious to the charms of the loveliest scenery and to things which otherwise would be of interest and delight. A recent trip to Kauai was unusually free from the vexatious questions which often confront us. As far as the work was concerned, we seemed to be carried along on the flood tide of interest, but marred indeed was our happiness, most painfully marred by the heart rending tidings of the sorrow which had befallen our beloved fellow workers in Hilo, coming with special force to us, who, unable to communicate with our loved ones, realize every day that sorrow may have entered, unknown to us, into our homes. With this accustomed burden on our hearts no one could feel more keenly than we the lightning stroke which befell our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Shields. No sorrow touches a deeper chord of sympathy, for every home which has been gladdened by the merry sunshine of little ones, and many a heart that longs in vain for it, enters the shadow with them. So breathes the universal sympathy in the beautiful words of James Whitcomb Riley: I IIAVK NO CHILD TO ME.

This is a camp of promise. On Sunday his Sunday School all lined up in fine order out of doors and marched in for the special purpose of hearing an American speak to them in Japanese. Then followed services, morning and evening, with the Communion of the Lord's Supper and the baptism of five persons. On Monday we visited the Japanese in the hospital and Mr. Tsuji obtained permission to go twice a week or of tener, to read the Bible to, and otherwise comfort his sufferiner fellow countrymen. Thence to Camp Kapaia where we visited inquirers, and then back to Lihue where So children, who are receiving Japanese education, and daily Christian guidance from Mr. Tsuji and Mr. Takeda, kindly listened to my exhortation on "Settling disputes with coals of fire." In the evening we had a meeting of special prayer for the new members of the church. (hi the following morning Mr. Tsuji began his Bible reading in the hospital, and Dr. Ptitman kindly furnished us with new illustrations for preaching, by taking us into a dark room and show ing us our own bones and other mysteries which the X-Ray divulges. In this spectacular manner my work in Lihue came to a close. - the field is well shepherded. Audiences that before were characterized by curiosity, this time gave evidence of earnest attention to Christian teaching. ministers' SCHOOLS, A striking feature of the Association was a practical illustration of Mr. Lydgate's conducting his classes among the Hawaiian workers. These classes are called "Ministers' Schools," and are held monthly for the instruction of pastors, Sunday School teachers and others, at Lihue, llanapcpe anil Kilauea. Sermon sketches are presented on the blackboard by different members of the class, and criticisms elicited which arc always taken in a good spirit and often amid flashes of wit and humor. So earnest and excited do they become that even ladies join in the exercises and often, Mr. Lydgate says, the sermon sketches by the ladies give the paetori reason to put forth their lust energies lest they be outdone. CAMPAIGN. The first evening of the Association was celebrated hv the Japanese by an evangelistic meeting in which each of the evangelists and tin- superintendents presented some aspect of the gospel. The following evening Koloa was stormed hv the same company. The Koloa evangelist, Mr. Kotani, has steadily won for himself the favor and confidence of both lapanese and Americans. We heard nothing but good words spoken of the influence he is exerting. He is specially fortunote in having the sympathetic and tactful cooperation of I)r. and Mrs. Waterhouse, who aid him in his night school as well as in his evangelistic work, and by c.\Mi' their open-heartednoss and evident interest in Christian work among the Japanese are winning the hearts of all the people. As is their custom, they were present at the meeting that evening, and Mrs. Waterhouse favored us with a solo, lending a touch to the service which is all too unusual in the experience of camp life. Next we went to Makaweli, where Mr. Takahashi and his family have gone to fight a good fight. The moral effect of red dust may well be studied here. It is especially hard for refined people and they deserve the reward of heroes for the work they are doing. On Saturday the members of our party scattered, each to his own field, only one remaining to go with Mr. Tsuji over his Lihue field. OPPORTUNITIES AT I.IHI'K. The program here began with » "camp meeting" at Halehaka, with a large and attentive audience, among whom were many enthusiastic little singers, one twelveyear-old lassie fairly leading the crowd with her strenuous voice. I asked Mr. Tsuji if he could not start a Sunday S.woNAKA. In one week, besides having a shaic in the Association meeting, we had gained new insight into the life and problems of our fellow workers and the people of their fields had heard the gospel presented through the coloring of several twenty-seven different speeches, opportunity offered, through indi- minds in and, as vidual persuasion ; so, grateful for the Opwe had enjoyed, and the hearing which our message had received, we exchanged our parting greeting, "Sayonara,"—if we must part, we must.

On hearing of Mr. Miyamori's resignation, representatives of the Hawaiian Board called upon him, and upon the officers of the church, and all united in requesting him to postpone his resignation. Declining the proposition, he was asked to accept a call from the Hawaiian Hoard to some part of its field, but having already completed his plans for returning to Japan, he could not he persuaded to remain. Mr. and Mrs. Miyamori sailed by the Hongkong Maru on May I. We regret the departure from the Islands of such valuable workers as Mr. and Mrs. Miyamori, but wish them success in their future field of labor. Mr. J. I. at Olaa, Takami, formerly evangelist sailed for Japan by the Hong- kong Maru, May 1. Notwithstanding the four extra pages in the last issue of the 'Friend' these reports were crowded out from our Educational picture gallery, and had to be held over to this month: MILLS INSTITUTE NOTES. The work of the Mills Institute is proceeding in a most satisfactory and encouraging manner. While both teachers and pupils arc earnestly looking forward to the time when the larger opportunities of the Mid-Pacific Institute shall be opened to them, they are now doing their best to be worthy of a place in that undertaking. Never has the work so long carried on in Chaplain Lane been in a more flournishing condition. Principal Merrill and his faithful assistants are steadily endeavoring to advance the standard of scholarship and raise in every -way the religious and moral tone of the institution. The register of the boarding and day departments for this year shows an attendance of fully one hundred and twenty, nine of whom arc Japanese and three Koreans. The additional opportunities for more advanced study now offered have tended in a marked degree to keep in the school a class of students who arc most desirable and who would otherwise not be attracted. Several of the young men have expressed a desire to fit themselves for the gospel ministry. In order to continue to do the best work at least one more teacher is needed and unless funds can be obtained' for his support the work will be seriously crippled and retarded. It is hoped that friends of the work will be led to see the importance of continuing to advance these lines of development which are so promising.

Hawaii has a grand opportunity at the present time to aid in the advancement of the women and girls of Chinese nationality.— The Student. *'* * * * William T. Ellis, of the Philadelphia Press, who has just been on a tour extending over a year, visiting the mission stations of the world, states that the only social and moral hope for the nations of the East is in the missionary enterprise. Hawaii Cousins A housewarming was given at the "Old Mission Home" in the afternoon of April 4th. The Cousins and their friends were received in the old historic reception room where royalty was entertained in the long ago, and where, no doubt, every missionary to these islands has gathered in consultation and knelt in prayer. Many guests explored the numerous nooks and cupboards of the old place before going through to the makai lawn where chairs were arranged for the audience. Here a very �14 pleasant half hour was spent among friends, and "Aunt Martha" Chamberlain, so long absent from the meetings, sat in her carriage and held a reception all her own, on the very grounds where she played as a little child, and "kicked the old idols in disdain." A triangular platform filled the corner between the kitchen and main building. This was lined on two sides with cocoanut leaves, canopied by a sail from a Hawaiian schooner and covered with two large Hawaiian mats. Here Mrs. W. F. Frear, in her pleasing manner, read a letter from Dr. S. E. Bishop, which is given below, and after telling, in picturesque words, of the arrival of the mail, six days from Maui, twelve days from Hilo, and long, weary months from the home-land, introduced Mrs. Theodore Richards, who read three of these letters, yellow with age and full of holes, written by Mother Cooke more than three score years ago. These were so interesting that requests have been made for a second reading, and we hope they may appear in The Friend. Then a Lulaby was sung. An old time missionary mother, on her way to "Mother's Meeting," dressed in her long brown cloak and "calash," stopped by the cradleside to still the waking baby and sing, "Hush my babe, lie still and slumber." After this came the special number of the program, a presentation of Hawaii of Long Ago, prepared by Mr. James Wilder under the auspices of the special committee from the Woman's Board, Mrs. W. F. Frear, Mrs. E. A. Weaver and Miss Pope. The scene was laid in 1840, and represented a half dozen missionary ladies convened from the different islands for "General Meeting," with a new arrival from Boston, and in a sewing circle, and over their cup of tea, talking of their life-work with its sunshine and shadows, its humor and pathos: while into their midst came a princess, the premier of Oahu, bringing as gifts rich rolls of silk which the beauty-hungry eyes of the missionaries were obliged to decline for their work's sake. The princess and her attendants, the kahili-bearers and hand-maidens, were Kamehameha school-girls of today, and the acting fore-mothers were six young ladies, grandchildren of the mission, representing eight original mission families. The furnishings, Mrs. Frear kindly explained, were genuine relics of the olden time, Mother Parker's drop-leafed mahogany table, Mother Armstrong's sewing chair, Mother Lowell Smith's little silver sewing-bird, the Andrews' cradle and THE FRIEND the high chair from which Gen. S. C. Armstrong dangled his little feet. The ladies were gowned in the costumes of sixty years ago—some of them in veritable dresses of their ancestors, while the words they spoke were, many of them, literal quotations from the missionary mothers, culled from letters and diaries penned by their hands. The exercises closed with a very pretty little poem by Mrs. Frear, "Little Sewing Bird," happily rendered by Miss Mary Thurston Taylor Kluegel. Dr. Bishop's Letter. April 3rd. To the Secretary of the Cousin's Society : Dear Madam: In view of the gathering of the Society at the Old Mission Home tomorrow, may I, as the oldest survivor of their number, and debarred by infirmity from being present, send my cordial greetings. That old house holds a strong place in my cherished memories, as the home of the Bingham family in the Thirties, and in which the Bishop family repeatedly were guests during the general meetings. I wish to specify my earliest distinct memory of the house. It was in the afternoon of May 17, 1832, seventy-six years ago, when I was five years old. The whale-ship "Averick" had just arrived and landed the large Fourth Reinforcement of Missionaries. This large company of young people were gathered into the Bingham parlor to meet the older missionaries. I was present and was especially attracted by the pleasant aquiline features of the young Wm. P. Alexander, a type of face quite new to my experience. He sat close to the west side of the door leading to the dining-room. The Armstrongs, Lymans, Emersons, etc., were seated around the room. These young folks were soon helping to make much history, as well as beget a notable progeny. May your meeting to remember the Fathers'and Mothers be pleasant and profitable. Faithfully yours, SERENO E. BISHOP. The annual meeting of the Cousins was held in the same place on Saturday, April the 25th, at half past three o'clock. Following so soon after the housewarming there was not a large attendance, but the short program was exceptionally fine. After the usual open- ing and business—"Blest be the tie," prayer by Dr. John Gulick, reading of the reports of secretary and treasurer, and election of officers, the audience was favored by two beautiful songs by the Kawaiahao girls: "Foaming Waves of the Sea" and "Praise to the Creator." We especially thank these young ladies as they gave of their own recreation time for our pleasure. Then followed Mrs. Dillingham's excellent paper, reminiscent of her father and mother, and a charming letter from Princess Bernice Pauahi, (read by President Cooke), written from the school for royal chiefs and giving many incidents of life as seen by a lovely girl of "sweet sixteen." We trust that this letter as well as Mrs. Dillingham's paper may appear in "The Friend." Miss Agnes Judd then read some verses written in 1857 by Robert Tinker, a young man of twenty years, a tribute to a loved sister born upon the sea when her parents were returning from these Islands. This was followed by an article read by Mr. F. W. Damon published' in the "Jubilee Celebration" of 1887, concerning the Old Mission Home when it was new. Mr. Damon said this was especially appropriate now, as we were holding the first annual meeting after the renovation in these actual surroundings. There were remarks of interest by Mr. Damon, Mr. Carter and Mrs. Dillingham about securing relics and mementos of the missionaries, and Mr. Andrews showed a copy of the first edition of the Hawaiian Gospels, bound in scarlet, also two volumes of the Bible. The latter had belonged to the king, to Mr. Wyllie and to Father Andrews. These were among the treasures presented to the Society within the past two months. The officers elected were: President, Arthur C. Alexander; vice-president, Hon. G. R. Carter; secretary, Mrs. R. W. Andrews; treasurer, Lyle A. Dickey, and recorder, R. W. Andrews. Word has recently been received of the death of Mrs. Abbie Marina Tinker Purdon. She was the second daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Reuben Tinker, and was born on board the whaleship "William Perm" on the return voyage of her parents from these islands. She was married from the home of her brother, Hon. Robert H. Tinker, at Rockford, 111., Oct. 13. 1869, to the late Rev. Dr. Henry Purdon of St. James Memorial Church, Titusville, Pa. Here they lived for nearly thirty years until his death in December, �15 THE FRIEND. 1898. Her youngest daughter, Alice, died in April, 1006, and there remains of the household but one daughter, Marina Louise. The hearts of the Cousins are especially saddened by the cabled news of the death of our dear Mrs. Cornelia Beckwith Damon. With her departure, a bright light seems to have gone out. Her presence carried joy and gladness everywhere. Her hands, her voice, her smile, her cheery words, were for her friends, and for the stranger as well. Though sorrows came into her life they only sweetened her character, and every tear was as a raindrop that reflects the sun and made a rainbow of love about her beautiful life. In her last letter to the cousins she said, "How I love my dear Hawaii! and how I long, sometimes, to be back!" But she has reached a more lovely Paradise, and her sweet alto, we believe, is swelling the praise of Him she served so well below. Butte, Montana, No. 900 W. Quartz St. Dear Aunt Mattie:—We are just as proud as we can be of one week passed without any snow-storm. Our opposite neighbor has two crab-apple trees that have lived over two winters, and are the pride and delight of the whole neighborhood. Sunday, a beautiful day, the whole family was out looking the poor little trees over for signs of life, and today the swelling buds are very much in evidence. To be sure, last year on the 24th of June we had a driving blizzardy snowstorm, so our troubles are not yet over, but that does not happen every year. When I was in Bozeman last year I met Miss Helen Brewer. She and her brother are teaching in the agricultural college. Miss Brewer is very anxious to go to Honolulu. We don't meet many island people here. Butte is off the main line across the continent. I like Butte. I would much rather be here in the winter, but Great Falls is far prettier in summer. The manager's house is up on a bluff, overlooking the river, and our veranda is in constant use, unless, as was the case last summer, it is too cold. I hear very little from home or from Ellen. They are all too busy to write much I fancy. Lewis is in Bates College, doing well. David is working hard in the high school. The journey out here did both boys a world of good. Much love to all.

We announced this change to our friends asking them to send us their business, particularly such orders as they were in the habit of sending East. Our request met with a ready response and in spite of the fact we were obliged to wait until November, to get our new stock of books, our sales have largely increased, amounting in the last six month to nearly seven thousand dollars. Our workers have found it very convenient to have a well selected stock of Song Books, Concert Exercises, Maps, Charts Bibles, Testaments (in various languages) Sunday School, Church and C. E. workers handbooks, Reward Cards, Missionary and other good books; organs and Communion Sets on hand where they could see them before buying. Many bear testimony to the district Missionary work the Bookstore has done. If our friends will all send us their business we can do more. Many are still sending away for books and other supplies, they could purchase here at just as satisfactory prices and often without waiting. Won't you all give us a trial this year and see what a credit our Book Department can be to the Board. STILLING—ApriI 5, Johann Heinrich Stilling of Honolulu.

The Irresistible March. The month of May has witnessed continued triumphs for the Temperance cause. Another great conservative State, North Carolina, has joined the ranks of the foes of King Alcohol. It seems as though all mankind were passing through a gigantic experience of moral enlightenment with reference to narcotics and stimulants. Health was never before so ardently sought by organized communities of men. Alcohol, opium, cocaine, rats and mosquitoes all belong in the same category as deadly foes of life, though the first three have their healthful uses. Bills to prohibit the importation of opium into Hawaii are before both Houses of Congress and will doubtless be passed at the next session, when it is confidently expected by Temperance leaders that the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the Territories and their importation thereinto will also be prohibited. Great Britain, China and Japan are all feeling the effect of this passion for sane minds and sane bodies. Europe alone lags behind and even there signs multiply that this great reform will soon have its day. The inspiration of a mighty world movement like this is incalculable. God's Kingdom is marching unto victory and our century is destined to witness triumphs undreamed in ages past. Vice will be the next stronghold to be assailed. The awakening of 2000 of Chicago's physicians and hundreds of the leading practitioners in New York and their organization into leagues for teaching social hygiene mean more for our national health and our Nation's family life than can be computed. "Come Kingdom of our God." World Peace. The credit for the splendid public celebration of Peace Day in this city is due very largely to Rev. Frank S.

It is expected that he will hold either one institute in 1 lonolulu for all the Christian workers of his race or three institutes, one each at Hilo, Wailuku and Honolulu for contiguous evangelists. On account of this plan there will probably be few Japanese present at the annual meeting. Hurrah For One More. Mainland papers are cheering the H. C. Frick Company of Connellsville, Pa., a subsidiary to the United States Steel corporation. The company has 20,000 employees and it has just posted the notice that it will no longer employ a man known to be a drinker. It therefore advises its men not to use intoxicants, whether on duty or off. This action has been taken because mine accidents have been found to be due in many cases to men either under the influence of liquor or incapacitated for work by drinking bouts. The example of this action by such a company will tell for temperance more than can be calculated. The next generation of Americans will be overwhelmingly sober. By 1950 India, China, Japan and North America, holding far more than one-half the human family, will be in battle array against alcohol and opium. It is certainly inspiring to fight in full consciousness of so glorious a triumph. Meantime it is well to remember that battles are won not by cheering gains elsewhere or star gazing, but by attention to details.

That once dominant he forthwith begins to lest word and action with the question "Is this in keeping with my aim ?" The experimental stage of self-government is ended here. Ilawaiians can be trusted as citizens and office holders equally well with white Americans. A most conspicuous evidence of this lias been presented by the Sheriff of Oahti and the United States District Attorney. American heredity and environment may be argued to be overwhelmingly with the latter, creating the expectation that lie must prove tube conspicuously a higher type of public servant than the Sheriff. But the two test occasions of [wilci and the prize tight found him wanting while the Sheriff was fully equal lo his duty. The carefully chosen Hawaiian officeholder is demonstrably a worthy public servant. The last election proved that Hawaiian voters can be trusted and we believe the coming contest will still more notably bear out the statement to that the Hawaiian makes every bit as reliable and trustworthy a citizen as the average mainland voter. Ever since annexation he has been improving and we believe he will continue to do so in happy comparison with the ordinary white American. The truth cannot always be bid. The thoroughly good qualities of our island electorate will ere long be known throughout the States. Then given (he requisite population, statehood will be granted. But we are not yet ready for this large responsibility, Years of testing are needed to prove that the record achieved during the past eight v cars by the Hawaiian voter is not a momentary smirt. The train must be steadily held. Then our Chinese and Japanese voters must show what stuff they are made of.

The explanation is simple. a therapeutic suggestion to the body politic and in time the righl will of the few becomes the will of the people. The present temperance sentiment is a splendid case ill point. Up to this time Hawaii has not dared even to dream of Statehood. Over on the mainland the idea that these Islands ever could by any possibility become a State of the Union is scouted. Well and good. That is the kind of sentiment most Stimulating to earnest men. We have the right elements here for sovereignty, fire them with the determination to become a sovereign State and every year will see them more worthy of the responsibility and therefore nearer to the sacred privilege.

Armstrong's great work in Hilo and at Hampton, and the work of Booker Washington at Tuskegee, Alabama, with a view to increasing the efficiency of the Okayama orphanage, that Mr. Onoda has set out on this trip to America. An Inspiring Example of Faith. Mr. Ishii from his youth was a man of tender susceptibilities and a heart of kindness towards the poor. When he was 22 years of age his sympathies were drawn out toward a poor widow with two children whom he found worshipping at a temple. Finding a sympathetic listener, she poured out her heart to him and Mr. Ishii, to free her hands so she could work for a living, took one of the children under his care. Soon he took two other children into his home and cared for them while he was pursuing a course in the study of medicine. In that same year (1887) he opened his orphanage in a Buddhist temple, the use of which he obtained from a friendly priest. Gradually the thought took possession of him that if (iod. in answer to prayer could sustain in England such an orphanage as ( ieorge Midler's, he could do the same in Japan. Mr. Ishii's test came when he was about to graduate from the medical school. If he should receive his diploma he would be in a position, as a physician to support himself and aid his orphanage, but again if he had his diploma he would be tempted to trust to himself ra,ther than to God. The struggle was sharp, but decisive. He literally burned the bridge behind him : he committed his medical books to the flames, left the medical school and gave himself for life to work in behalf of orphans, casting himself on the Lord in faith. Prayer and Work. Many an inward struggle he had on question as to whether in a nonChristian country like Japan he would do right in relying, like George Muller, on prayer alone, or whether he should not also work to keep the public informed as to the needs of the institution. His conviction at last that prayer and work should go together accounts for the methods adopted in later years of sending the orphanage brass band together with a lecturer using stereoplicon pictures on tours throughout the country. This has proved to be a splendid evangelistic agency as well as of great benefit to the institution, as will be observed in the incident mentioned at the beginning of this article. the THE FRIEND No Applicants Refused. At the end of four years Mr. Ishii had 120 children under his care. Then came the Gifu earthquake when he was called upon to receive at one time 84 more. No applicant is ever denied admission ; among the orphans there have been Korean, Eurasian, German, English and American children. The supreme test of faith came at the time of the great famine in 1906. With an equipment for 400 children he was called upon to receive within a space of three months 825 more children to save them from starvation or a fate still worse, but he never flinched. Temporary structures were reared and the waifs were welcomed. Have they Ever Been in Straits? Yes, often but never deserted. One of the most touching incidents was in the early history of the Institution, while it was. yet housed in the temple. They were all without food and the hungry children were gathered in the graveyard back of the temple, praying that God would give them their "daily bread." While they were yet speaking (iod heard, yes, before they, called He had answered, for just at that time came a gift of $31 from the children of a Sunday School in Canandagua, N. V., and loud were their rejoicings and their praise to God. Does Not Encourage Pauperism. The Okayama orphanage does not encourage pauperism by caring for those who can otherwise be provided for; its large numbers are not there for show. As the famine conditions were gradually relieved, 538 of the children were returned to their homes, so that the actual number being cared for in the orphanage this year is 500 less than a year ago. Often homes are found for children on farms or in worthy families. The orphanage has 40 cottages, f> school buildings, offices, bath houses, hospital and stores. It also has a farm in Hiuga, with 16 buildings, making a grand total of 76 buildings. At present Mr. Ishii is assisted by 16 school teachers, 40house mothers and 50 other helpers. Four times in its history the orphanage ''as risen to meet great national emergencies, namely, two wars, an earthquake and a famine. Their Majesties' Gift. It was the first Christian enterprise from T. I. J. M. the Emperor and Empress of Japan, who four years ago made a gift of 2000 yen, followed, the succeeding year with to receive a grant-in-aid a promise from them of iooo yen a year for ten years. The orphanage has, for many years, had the hearty and efficient cooperation of Rev. James H. Fettce, D.D., for 20 years a missionary of the American Board in Japan. Dr. Pcttee has given his "Godspeed" to Mr. Onoda in the errand he has undertaken for the institution. F. S. S. HILO-WAIAKEA COMBINE. The Hawaiian Hoard has evidently secured a good worker in Mr. Y. Nakadate, who began service as teacher in Waiakea on Feb. ist. The situation in Waiakea was critical in the extreme, but with patience and tact he is winning his way and proving himself to be "a man in whom there is an excellent spine." He has shown not only teaching ability but a gift for evangelistic wink. Mr. Iligucbi of Hilo, is planning with Mr. Nakadate for cooperative work in their two fields, and also in ( )laa. which for some months has been without a worker. These two gentlemen are taking turns in visiting Olaa, have started a Sunday School there and hold occasional meetings al eight-mile cam]). They call these fields hopeful. We call it hopeful when our evangelists and teachers combine their strength, and on their own initiative push out into aggressive work. JOHN FRANKLIN COWAN. On June i the Siberia brought to Honolulu Rev. John Franklin Cowan, D.D., to be pastor of Kohala Union Church. Dr. Cowan, born in Griffinshire, X. Y„ was graduated from Adrian College, Mich., in 1878, and from the Theological Seminary there in 1881. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Protestant Church and for four years served as pastor in Morgantown and Fairmont, W. Va., and in Pittsburg, Pa. He then took charge of the publication of the Sunday School papers of his denomination, whose headquarters arc in the latter city and continued bis editorial work for fifteen years. Called to Boston he entered the staff of the Christian Endeavor World where for ten years he has been associated with the work of the Congregational Church. Thus he is in himself an embodiment of the proposed union between the Congregational and Methodist Protestant Churches. A warm welcome awaits him in Kohala. We trust he may consent to take charge of a Young People's or Christian Endeavor Department in The Friend. �9 THE FRIEND. NOTES FROM THE FIELD BY FRANK S.

"The Value of Ideals," by William A. Kinney, Esq. Without effort he commanded the interest and attention of all as he dwelt on the ideal of equal opportunity for all classes, and with telling illustrations from history showed that both the governments and the systems of education which had proceeded on the principle of class distinctions, had failed in acquiring the unity and strength that comes from following the ideal of equal opportunities for people of every class. In the use of books there is a communism which can not be enjoyed in equal degree in any other direction. The humblest man can hold converse with such men as Shakespeare, Byron, Walter Scott, Thackeray and Dickens. He can compel them to give him their best thoughts and exact from them the highest inspiration and all practically without money and without price. "And no education equals the education that comes from intimate knowledge and communion with good authors and good books. "And so it is that we congratulate the donor and congratulate ourselves upon the establishment of one more great addition to the institutions of learning in this Territory, believing, as we do, that it will be open to and maintained for the good of all who comply with the simple conditions, common to all, governing admission to these schools, and that here all classes and conditions of men for generations to come may gather to freely partake at the fountain of knowledge about to be established on this spot, limited only by the measure of their own minds to appropriate what they find here, and by their thirst and desire for knowledge." Mr. Walter F.

When the Czar of Russia, a few years ago, issued the call requesting an assembly of the nations to consider means for securing relief from the burdens of war, and looking to the establishment of a reign of peace, a smile of incredulity crossed the face of the world. The idea was greeted with amusement, and the youthful autocrat was pronounced a visionary. Within a decade we have seen a second Hague Conference, attended by the representatives of 44 nations, peace societies have sprung up all over the world, and people who ridiculed the idea are now found among the ranks of those who feel that the governments arc far behind the people in the desire to rise above the barbarism of war and relegate arms and armaments to museums of ancient history. Today there are some who would go lo the extreme of having their governments disarm at once and forever, believing that the inconveniences arising from such a course would not be comparable to the disaster of even a single war, and that any nation adopting this ideal would be morally safe from all attack. Others would see an international congress, which alone should be provided with an army and navy whose work it would be to act as a world police force. Still others believe that war is an inevitable curse, which can be mitigated, but not cured, by international treaties. But one and all are turning their attention to the subject of peace; the movement. At the Central Union Church, Acting Governor Mott-Smith presided, and United States Judge Sanford H. Dole and Editor Walter (1. Smith of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser were the speakers. Judge Kingsbury delivered an address at the Christian Church, and Chief Justice llarlwcll at the Methodist Church. At the Makiki Japanese Church the day was fittingly celebrated Willi an address by Rev. T. (Hcumura. Space does not permit of giving a digest of all of these excellent addresses, but we present some of the points of the address of Judge Dole, reserving for a later issue a resume of other addresses. Mr. Mott-Smith spoke a few words of introduction, alluding to the growth of public sentiment through such meetings as these, and of the high vantage ground on which Hawaii stands in the discussion of the subject of world peace. Judge Dole's address on the subject, "Is Peace Practicable?" was a masterly treatment .of the great evolutionary march of the human race upward through the times of animalism and barbarism in which war was necessary to progress, to the coming days of high civilization when reason and law shall take the place of bloody conflict. "If war has been necessary and beneficial in the past, will it be necessary and beneficial through all future time? *serve * * When war can no longer the race in any useful way, will it not by the laws of evolution disappear ?

Dueling and Highway Robbery. War is defended on the same principle as was formerly advocated in favor of dueling, though in reality it is more in line with the principles of highway robbery, "inasmuch as the attackcreates the immediate right of homicide in self defense, and because the attack is based on greed or upon the universal desire to sustain one's self and add to one's worldly possessions." Influences Against War. ()f all the influences which tend most conspicuously to discourage war, public sentiment and arbitration are the most efficacious, and public sentiment must be the basis of any success through arbitration. No progress could be made in the Hague Conference on the subject of disarmament, for public sentiment was not clear on this subject, but the world's desire for the peaceful settlement of controversies is clear, and on this issue the first Conference did its great work resulting in "the creation of a permanent international court of arbitration." This court has already settled several international disputes. combined : and the main reason for this confident hope is that the principle enjoys the world's public confidence and has the world's desire back of it, and because it offers a reasonable substitute for war for the settlement of international disputes." * Peace Conference Permanent. One outgrowth of the two Hague Conferences which is of the utmost importance is the demand for periodic meetings of the Conference. A large part of the work of the second Conference was the improvement and revision of the work of the first, and it, in turn, adjourned with some of its most important work- unfinished. "And so it came about that at the second Conference a way was open for the unanimous passage of a resolution for periodic meetings of The Hague Conference thereafter, which resolution fixed the date of the next conference seven years later and provided for the appointment of a special commission by the different governments to meet two years in advance to Study ami prepare the program for the third Hague Conference. Thus, without provision but by force of circumstances, and as a necessary development of the work already done, the foundation has been laid for a permanent Congress of Nations. Arc not these, the preparations for an international supreme court of justice and an international legislature, enough to make all lovers of paece sing with Browning, '(iod's in His heaven'—all's right with the world?'" Peace Shall Come. Do not the facts narrated and the progress already made justify the hope and expectation that the time is coming fast, when war shall be obsolete— a troubled dream of the past? Tt will take time: progress in this direction may sometimes lacr, but will it not continue with increasing force and speed, until peace shall come with the world ready for it—a peace that shall not enfeeble or demoralize mankind, but shall be the soil in which the loftiest virtues shall thrive and the race advance beyond our dreams?

"Although the primary object of The Hague Conferences was the reduction of national armaments, which object has not been attained nor has any direct progress been made toward its attainment, their chief and most important work has been the movement for arbitration of international disputes, and making success of that, the further movement to build thereon an international court of equity. This is what interests the world. Tax payers would like to sec armaments reduced, but they have no confidence that it will be brought about until there is an effective substitute for war as an arbiter of national quarrels. The scheme of arbitration has made such a promising beginning that the way is partly cleared generations, The cchointr sounds grow fainter and for the idea of a permanent court of salaried judges, selected for the settlethen cease: ment of disputes according to equitable And, like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, principles and the highest ideals of jusT hear once more the voice of Christ tice.

When a stranger or an occasional visitor comes along it is not hard to drum up large audiences, yet we were surprised at the numbers— from 30 to 00—who, out of such a scattering population, came out to the meetings, and felt that the respectful attention they gave to his leadership was a testimony to the work he is doing in his field. After a short year's work in his circuit he reports the present condition as follows: In Holualoa every Sunday morning he has eight hearers, and there is a Japanese Christian Endeavor Society with thirteen members. At Central Kona on the first and fourth Sundays of the month three or four attend. Oil the third Sunday, in the Mori store from twenty to twenty-five attend, and the Sunday School numbers from 25 to 28, gradually increasing in numbers. In Honalu, on Wednesday evenings, there are from seven to ten persons, and a children's meeting is attended by five persons. At Honaunau, on the second Sunday, about seventeen attend, while every Wednesday evening a Young Men's Society of 14 members has its meeting. At Hookena he has meetings on the second Sunday and the Saturday evening preceding-, with an attendance of from eight to ten. So by his persistent beating up and down over the road, he manages to gather into meetings every month about 130 people, while many others are being reached, through frequent invitations and personal conversation, with some friendly word from a genial messenger of God's Word. NOT ALL SMOOTH SAILING IN PORTUGUESE WORK. The Portuguese people in the majority are Roman Catholics and very strong ones at that. The young people, as a rule, are more liberal minded and not so easily dominated by the priesthood.

"To whom He was not spoken of, They shall And they that have not heard Shall understand." Visiting an outside district a few days ago I was agreeably surprised to find a number of young men, who, without any outside assistance, have been studying the Word of God, seeking after truth. I have since been requested to go to this place at least once a month and hold preaching services. "My word shall not return unto me void," says the Lord, and in this case we sec it verified. I attended the funeral of a countryman of mine last month that was buried at the Catholic cemetery at this place. At the grave the following was said by the officiating priest: "Christ also died but He rose again: in this there is hope for us, but for those who believe not as we do, there is no such hope!" No doubt our presence sug- see: gested such a statement, but to our knowledge such assurance did not seem to convince the majority of those present. A couple came to me sometime ago and wanted to be married. Having presented their license, I asked them if they believed that the ceremony performed by me would be binding.—they being Catholics.—and as they answered "yes," I proceeded to tie the knot: after this when I asked them if they wanted a certificate, the groom answered yes, but he had a request to make before I should write the certificate. Asking him what the request was he said: "I want you to make that certificate for six months!" Again enquiring where he got such an idea, he said that some one told him he could get married at the Protestant Church for six months or a year! M. G. SANTOS. WORK IN HILO.

In him we lost another faithful Sunday School teacher, but we trust he may be a blessing and a light wherever he may be. Last Sabbath afternoon we held a service in Kaivviki for the benefit of those of our people who are unable to come down to Church regularly.

That, then, is the question, "is it educational enough to be worth while'" Note first, that the answer to this question will not be found in the extent of the gratification or pleasure the public may derive from the performance. To be sure good music ought to please the public, but we have no right to expect that it will do so any more than we could expect that the best in literature will meet quick appreciation on the part of the general public. The schools have a right to try for such a goal,—nay perhaps they have no right to try for anything short of that. Will a yearly recurring Music Festival bring before the future citizens of Honolulu fine musical ideals? Will the moral and intellectual stimulus to be derived therefrom be worth the time and effort, —yes, and the disarranged school program? If so, let us have the Festival and let us make the following improvements on previous custom : Let us have good soloists from the (oast so that the young people taking part will get some stimulus from outside and a high order of pleasure withal,—not financially possible without some organized effort like the Music Festival. Let some effort be made to put the endeavor on a footing which will permit of the very lowest prices for admission, especially to school children. A distinct advance was made this year in that respect when the "dress rehearsal" was given to some 700 school children who were in Mrs. Tucker's chorus and no charge was made. Those interested in the performance will be glad to know that after all of the bills were paid (amounting to over $400) there remained just enough to pay for prizes to the two highest ticket sellers who sold forty-three each. Their names were Miss Jennie Keamalu of the Normal School (the Normal students far outdid the scholars of the other schools in sales) and J. Atherton Richards of Punahou.

The competitive element among the clubs furnishes a healthy stimulus and the sports arc fine bait to catch boys with. It must not be forgotten that the boys govern themselves under a carefully drawn-up constitution; they preside over their meetings, collect their own dues and keep a record of their own doings. Just now summer being fast upon us, we are planning for a special "bid" to catch the more privileged boys at Punahou and elsewhere. What more seductive offer to a boy than a camping trip? A complete offer of a most carefully planned camp for boys has been issued so that parents can see who is to "man" it and satisfy themselves of the wisdom of letting their boys go. How shall we get "privileged" boys interested in the Y. M. C. A.? Not by the inducements which the building down town can offer them. They have much at school and at their home.

In these beautiful islands, where the Chinese have been coming freely, for more than half a century, many Chinese children are being elucated in the fine schools of the Territory ; many reaching a high standard in their classes, and being a help and an example to the Hawaiian students. Some of these young Chinese have returned to China and arc themselves teaching in schools there, others are fitting themselves for a similar future usefulness. Perhaps at present there are some three thousand Chinese students in the schools of Hawaii. One Honolulu school has 200 Chinese students in at* tendance. Another one has 190 enrolled. Here these Chinese students mingle freely with the boys and girls of many other nationalities. Their presence is a real help to the Hawaiian children, and gives a good tone to the school work. There is no Chinese race question in Hawaii's schools, and all meet in the class room, and on the playground, in a most friendly spirit Chinese Love America. The Chinese are not Orientalizing our islands or our schools, but are being Americanized by the influence of Hawaii's American schools. The Chinese children learn to love America, and to honor the beautiful "Stars and Stripes" that float before every one of the 150 public schools of the islands. They learn of Washington, of honesty and truth, and soon take hold of the American ideas of freedom and liberty. Mr. Tsang Ilai, the Chinese Consul of Honolulu, on a recent visit to some of Hawaii's schools, was much impressed, as he stood before one assembled school, and heard the pupils give their flag salute. With upturned faces and pointing hand, they gave their beautiful salute to "Old Glory." And the Chinese children said: "We give our heads and our hearts to God and our Country; One language! One Country! One Flag!" with as true a spirit of enthusiasm, and patriotism, as did the white children. At another school, all the Chinese pupils gathered together to hear the Consul speak. He said: "Boys and girls, I am glad to see you. It is a fine thing that you have these free public schools. They can give you a good education. But don't forget your own language. Study Chinese as well as English. I want to give you a little advice. Be deligent! Don't be lazy! Study hard and give good attention to the instruction of your teachers.

WORK AMONG WOMEN. Mr. and Mrs. K. Maeda find a very encouraging field .of work among the women of Ewa. There are few camps where there is any degree of family life among the Japanese. The presence of many families on the Ewa plantation offers an unusual opportunity, and we re- joice that our workers there are taking advantage of the situation and seeking to establish family religion. The influence of women and of the home is a great de- sideratum in the evangelization of the Japanese. Hawaii Cousins I. Paper Read at the Annual Meeting. By Mrs. B. F. Dillingham. In the year 1822 the spirit of the Lord walked beside the plow of a young farmer lad at work among the Herkshire hills in Western Massachusetts, and repeated the call given to Matthew, the publican, "Follow me." Like the apostle of old, the young man was ready to "leave all" at once, but a year lacked to complete his majority and his employer would not consent to shortening his time of service. The following twelve months, while filled with toil of every useful kind, were rich in lessons of patience and submission and served to strengthen the determination of Lowell Smith to become a preacher of the gospel. Clad in his "freedom suit," at 21 years of age, he attended a preparatory school, which at the end of two years enabled him to enter Williams College. The influence of this institution, intensified by the spirit that brooded over the ground whereon had stood "The Haystack." aroused in him the desire of self-denial, and throughout his college course his purpose was to become a home missionary. The theological seminary in �THE FRIEND Auburn, New York, was his home for three years and here, in company with many others who were going to the uttermost ends of the earth, he received the touch of consecration which determined his heart upon L'oreign Mission work. He found in his helpmeet, one who had been for three years in intimate fellowship with Mary Lyon, and whose soul was on fire for the Lord's work, though confidence in her own ability, or fitness for so great and solemn a life work as the wife of a foreign missionary, was not at all assured to herself at first. Since the first missionaries had gone to the Sandwich Islands mission no special information concerning its climate had been received. The general supposition was that it was hot and debilitating, and to one raised amid the rigors of eastern winters, the prospect of long service in an ecpiatorial climate was not assuring. An earnest plea to be permitted ten years in which to labor for Christ in this far away country was registered above, and the answer, rung out on the bells of time when the laborer was called up higher, was nearly sixfold. One hundred and fifty-nine days of weary life at sea were spent before making the port of Honolulu. The welcome by the "Brethren" already in the field was inspiring. Queen Kinau sent her carriage to convey the ladies of the party, Airs. Parker, Mrs. Diell and Mrs. Smith, to the mission premises. The carriage was a hand cart, in which they rode backward, their feet nearly touching the ground. The shocks experienced by the evidences of heathenism on every side, the seeming impossibility of the language as first heard, joy over their cordial reception, and comment on the salubrious climate were among the first entries in the daily journal. The historic house that is now the property of the "Cousins Society" and was at that time occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Judd, opened its doors to Mr. and Mrs. Smith for the time that elapsed before the general meeting at Lahaina assembled. Within a few weeks they were domiciled at Kaluaaha, Molokai, neighbors to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. Their first dwelling was a native house whose walls were three feet high, and whose covering permitted the frequent showers to enter. From the stones of a demolished heiau nearby, Mr. Smith soon constructed, with the help of natives, a better house, partitioned with mats, and reveling in the luxury of a wooden door, and a glass window. The study of the language was at once commenced and with the help of the small grammar and readers already printed, the first sermon was written and read to the congregation within the first four months. Within the first year, thirteen or more sermons were prepared and much work in Sabbath and day schools accomplished, as well as personal work among the people. After a year at Molokai, the general meeting decided that Mr. Smith had become sufficiently fluent in the language to be given a station by himself. Ewa was designated as a most important district, where as yet no center of missionary labor had been established. Ewa included Waianae and it was truly a wide spread parish. Rarely, was the trip made overland from Honolulu. Double canoes paddling within the reef were the usual mode of conveyance. Building materials for home and church edifice were derived from the soil of the district, the large adobe bricks being made durable by the generous admixture of manienie grass. The mountains furnished timber for rafters, beams, posts and sills. It was a hand to hand task truly, and with largely unskilled labor, progress was slow. (To be continued.) RECORD OF EVENTS.

The week of the Fleet's stay in Honolulu was a joy to everyone. The city did its best unselfishly to entertain officers and men. Hence whatever permanent impression its welcome left ilpofl the visitors, its own memories are very happy ones. The splendid spectacle of the coining of the twelve floating fortresses matched by the silent departure of fifteen of thctn together with the fairy scene of sixteen illuminated wonder ships, each with its flashing arms of light playing weird games upon sky, mountain side and sea. will never be forgotten. But far more significant than these pageants was the revealed character of the men. If these seamen as Honolulu saw them tell the story of the average American youth, and we believe they do, then America is strong with a manhood more impregnable than a myriad < iflraltars, lithe lack of much healthy home restraint among our people it is a question whether the rigid but kindly discipline of the Xavy is nut worth far more than it costs. Honolulu was as quiet with its thousands of visitors as at any other time. No lawlessness, almost no drunkenness, no noisy demonstrations, not even any of the boisterous self-assertiveness of American college boys off on a lark were in evidence. The men acted like the gentlemen they arc. We never were more proud of our Nation. One sailor at night accidentally broke a window pane indue of our leading mercantile establishments and the next morning called round to pay the damage which it is needless to add he was not allowed to 41.08 Ka Hoaloha sought out Honolulu's 12.25 do.

No. 8 To Honolulu's Credit. On the Sunday of the Fleet's stay, one whose duty it is to look after violations of law. dressed in sailor garb, mingled with the seamen on shore. Meeting men who looked as though they might not be averse to a shady time, he asked, "Where can I get a drink?" "Can't get nuthin in this town today. Every place is shut tight as a drum," was the response. A similar inquiry concerning haunts of vice met a like rejoinder that Honolulu was a clean town. This experience certainly speaks volumes for Sheriff laukea's integrity and sterling devotion to duty, A base attempt to discredit him has reacted upon its authors. The withdrawal of support or at least the lack of sympathetic backing on the part of men, who should stand with him to the end in his determination to attack the social evil where respectability is pinched, has made him so realize the loneliness of his position that he has refused again t'> stand for office. Meantime his single handed tight againsl tins curse has sent the Fleet away with the conviction ••Honolulu is Is not this worth a clean town." every man with not Should while? any spark of manhood in him rally about our Sheriff with Hie kind of loyalty that loves courage and devotion to duty? If Ilawaiians are wise they will demand another term for Sheriff [aukea. No one claims that he has made no mistakes but his closing of Iwilei during the presence of the Reel when by winking at violation of the law he might have retired from office with a handsome bank account is witness enough that the Hawaiian race can produce a real man. The Friend lias consistently believed that given half a chance there is the capacity for sturdy honest twentieth century manhood in the Hawaiian. It believes so still. Meantime it is a joy to reflect that a few men whom some of the Tress and more of the Public have been ridiculing have won out in their fight to have Honolulu decent when the Fleet came. The canard that one or more of these men attempted to prevent shore leave or to have it restricted or to have pay day not fall during the stay of the battleships in this port was as untrue and as stupid as it was cowardly and mean. �THF E RIEND. 4 0 me FRIEND « HAND ™* \ FIRST IT IS POINTING (INDEX-LIKE W*~) to certain new facts concerning The Friend (a) It is not new that Dr. Scudder is Editor in Chief, but it may be new to you and a number of new readers. Vigorous and positive always, Dr. Scudder is putting new health into local politics and social life through the columns of The FRIEND. Whether you hear him or not every Sunday you ought to read him. (b) The able Secretary of the Hawaiian Board will have a page and anything that Mr. Oleson writes you will read. (c) Dr. J. F. Cowan of Christian Endeavor fame will give us a page monthly. (d) F. W- Damon will furnish a page of Educational Notes. This is the livest kind of an issue for you and your family. (c) Rev. W. D. Westervelt gives his attention to the Temperence issues here an on the Mainland. ff) Rev. A. A. Ebersole will keep the Central Union Church news before the many who are interested. (g) The doings of the Board's Missionaries is of transcendent importance to Board supporters. Mr. Frank Scudder'fl handling of Notes from the Field has already won friends for the paper. (h) The Sunday School interests of the Islands will have more than usual prominence. The Friend and The Hawaiian Youth have united and three page* of matter at least will be under the direction of Rev. H. P Judd, who will be ably seconded by Rev. E. S. Turner of Maui.

The yacht Hawaii, built by popular subscription in the Islands with the hope of winning the Trans-Pacific race, was decisively beaten by the three other boats which competed. The winner was the Lurline. which made the rather slow time of 13 days, 21 hours, 31 minutes and 43/ seconds from San Pedro to Honolulu. Light winds were responsible for her not covering the distance as rapidly as when she won The the first Trans-Pacific race. Gwendolyn IPs time was 14 days. >\ hours, 38 minutes and (t seconds, which was cut down some \y [/ hours by her handicap. The Lady Maud did the distance in 15 days, 1 hour, 7 minutes and 7 seconds, her hadicap of a little more than 8 hours bringing her the third place. The Hawaii with almost the same allowance took 15 days, 3 hours, 2$ minutes and 30 seconds of elapsed time. It was a disappointment to the Territory that its boat did not win. The reason for it is believed to be two- > fold, fust excess of ballast and second too small sail area. There was no adequate time after the completion of the yacht to test out its capabilities and adjust sail area and ballast to them. Before the third race this will be done and then better luck to our boat, for everyone in Hawaii believes that she has winning power. Meantime the race was a great success and was thoroughly worth while. Keio's Opportunity. The voting baseball players from Keio (iijiku have been warmly welcomed in Honolulu. Large numbers of Americans have cheered their good plays to the echo and especially during the first i*f their slay wished them victory. Not a few have consistently fol lowed them all through with this desire. Their failure to win more games has been due to their willingness to play matches on Sunday. More than once the Sabbath has seen them pitted against a fresh team after having play- year. * Ed a hard game on Saturday. Their manager is authority for the statement that they objected to the Sunday games on the ground that the young men could not stand the pace, but their objection was overruled. It is a great pity that our Japanese friends did not have moral backbone enough to stand up for their rights and insist upon the injustice of requiring them to play two heavy games on two successive days— a thing no American college team would think of doiner. But they lost a far larger opportunity than the mere winning of games. This is a Christian nation where Sunday is reverenced as a rest day. Some parts of our nation overrun by foreieners have in part yielded their heritage. Hawaii has been moved by contiguity to one of these section;*—Northern California and allows more forms of labor on the weekly rest day than many of the States. The business of baseball is one of these. Xow the Keio boys had the rare opportunity of refusing to play- — �THE FRIEND on Sunday, first because baseball as a business on that day (i.e. baseball for money) is against the genius of America's rest day, and second because the organized labor of the world is opposed to all encroachments upon Sunday as a rest day. If the Keio players, representing one of Japan's greatest universities, had recognized the fact that as students they were their Nation's advocates of ideals and had stoutly refused to play on Sunday as a part of any money-making or business scheme their action would at once have won wide recof/nition. It would have been quoted popularly all over the United States and wherever the English language is used, to say nothing of its influence in the university life of the world. Our visitors are a fine lot of young fellows. They play ball well, but they have thrown away the unique chance of a great moral triumph that would have reacted most widely and favorably upon the influence of their Nation, which needs just this sort of patriotism. Anglo-Saxons love backbone and such an e\ idence of it as the Keios have missed would have been enthusiastically welcomed by all lovers of Japan in America, of whom The Friend is one of the most ardent. Tt is because we feel such friendship for Japan that we speak so frankly. More About Sunday. Tt were well worth the effort of a hundred editorials to evoke such a splendid little bunch of hot shot as that contained in the communication from Fellow Editor Orramel H. Gulick on another page. At a recent meeting of our Editorial Hoard one of the most ardent of our number suggested that The Friend would improve with more matter in a lighter or livelier vein. All the rest said "Amen." For liveliness Mr. Gulick's communication fills the bill. It also gives the occasion for saying a bit more on the Sunday question. That little editorial of last month which gets such a basting could hardly be expected to cover the whole ground. It had but one objective, namely to show that while the Church does not (and should not) bother itself with laying down rules as to how individuals must act on Sunday in contradistinction with other days, it is tremendously interested together with labor organizations and men lovers generally in demanding that business shall not rob the world of Sunday rest. It goes without saying that the Church also enthusiastically backs the State in safeguarding the right of worship on Sunday. One reason why the Church does not say to any man, "It is wrong in God's sight to do this or that on Sunday though it would be right on a week day," is because the Church cannot agree upon the acts to be pronounced wrong. If John Knox and John Calvin were to visit Honolulu in the flesh and engage in a game of bowls on Oahu College lawn some fine Sabbath afternoon, doubtless Mr. Gulick would give them a sound rap in the columns of The Friend and the Hoard of Editors at least would hugely enjoy the fun. For *the record reads that when these two reforming worthies met in Europe they played bowls together on Sunday. The Puritan Sabbath has prevailed during a small section of Church history and over a portion only of the world. We believe that this sort of Sabbath in its more liberal form has meant vastly more for mankind than any other that this world has ever known. We would gladly see all men so situated economically that they could and would spend Sunday partly in social worship and put the remainder of the day into the cultivation, both in themselves and in others, of the very best and noblest. In the ideal rest day nature and art and music, joy giving to others, quiet kindly recreations and all manner of social ministries will have their place. Tt will be a day richer far for humanity and for the individual than anything ever dreamed about by the Puritan. We believe that this sort of weekly rest day is even now in process of evolution. Men will tire of the amuscmental craze even as they did of the all day prosy preaching of a former time. There will be swinging to extremes but God is in His world and His Son as Lord of the Sabbath will bring all men to his largeness of view in its use. Hence the Church of today wisely leaves the whole question of Sabbath observance to the individual man in communion with his God. But while it exclaims with Paul. "All things are lawful," it adds with him "all things are not expedient." It exposes the inexpediency of spending the weekly day of rest in mere physical relaxation to the neglect of all else that goes to make up real manhood. It places over against the rifht of the individual to seek selfish pleasure on Sunday the privilege of safeguarding to the community the priceless boon of social worship. The man who devotes all Sunday to golfing, automobiling. baseballing, reading, nature communing or any other aloneness is giving his vote in the most effective manner possible to support 5 the proposition, "The Church and all public worship of God should be abolished." If a man believes in his inmost soul that the Church is a human necessity, a bulwark to the home and to the nation, he must in order to be honest connect himself with it, attend its worship and do his part to make it the ideal Church which the world needs. In order to do this he must be unselfish enough to adjust his Sunday activities accordingly. Now all this realm of ideal considerations the Church may, should and does urge. It will not attempt to legislate for the individual. It will not say because it has no right to do so, "This is wrong on Sunday," but it will, if it be wise, win men to such an ideal use of the privileges of the day of rest and worship, that the individual man shall be healthier in bod-, larger in spirit, fuller of God and truer to the social whole and that society shall realize more completely its great possibility — a family of loving serving brothers. Mid Pacific Joy. One reason for this joy is told on another page by Mr. Home in his account of the new Kawaiahao teachers. We were sorry to lose the old. We now welcome heartily the new. We also rejoice in our splendid Atherton Memorial Hall. A few months ago rumors of criticism reached the directors hinting at structural weaknesses in the building. At once it was decided to investigate. The Territory was searched for the most competent expert. He was found in the person of Mr. James L. Young, the civil and consulting engineer employed by Uncle Sam in his vast operations on Oahu. Here was authority of the highest rankin the Union. Mr. Young made a most exhaustive examination of the entire building, foundation, stone and wood work, carefully calculated all stresses and prepared a most painstaking report. It is impossible to print this with all its interesting details. Mr. Young's two closing sentences give the gist of his opinion of the stricture, "I feel more than secure it. pronouncing your building safe within the highest limits. It reflects credit upon your board, your architect and will be a lasting monument to the donor." He also says of its aesthetic impression upon him: "The appearance of crudity, which has characterized many structures of similar material has been entirely eliminated. The choice of roof-covering was wise since it is one of the best modern materials: the colors are superb and tone in so beautifully with the walls that you will have, when completed, a �THF E RIEND. 6 KILAUEA'S SEA OF FIRE structure that is real art on its exteeconomy will lie hap py to know that Mr. Voting considers ibat "the cost of an ordinary frame' building from government specifications of this size would be here approximately $Bo.(xx>.oo. an a building similar to yours could not be erected on the mainland for much under $150.-00OOO." Inasmuch as Athertoti Hall will not cost one-half this sum the rior." Lovers <>f ! directors' joy is justifiable. ILO I. KANHO Maui miiM henceforth look to her laurels. The Rig Island gave the Evangelical Association the biggest lime in its history. More delegates attended the threefold anniversary, a larger hospitality was lavished, the program was richer and more varied, closer comradeship and greater esprit it corps characterized the inter com inunion of race representatives, the spiritual atmosphere was clearer and more bracing and the influence upon the men present and through them upon the Churches more vital and inspiring than at any previous session. It was good to hi' there. A few of the best things of the great convention have been gathered elsewhere in this i> sue. We wish we might give all. The Temperance Plank. There can he no doubt that the temperance wave has reached Hawaii. Many of the natives have ceased to drink, not a few of their leaders whom nothing could induce to support antisaloon measures, are out for local option and everywhere a new atmosphere is in evidence. The Sssociation re enthusiastic fleeted this chance in temper, li adonted the following reso lutions with a rising vote, the dele crates remained standing while the solemnly invoked the Moderator divine blessing and the secretary was requested to give the widest publicity to the action of the Association.

Said one of our old residents years ago: "I can tell one of Father Lyman's boys, no matter on what island I meet him." And they went every where, and they filled honorable posts that were useful as well. Said a former member of the Board of Education thirty years ago: "Ihe best schools we have are taught by men from Father Lyman's school." The teacher of teachers in a formative civilization is a building force inferior to none. The share that Father Lyman had in moulding the convictions of those seething days, and in shaping the resultant civilization of these islands will never be known. But I am sure it was a large and worthy one, and as prominent in its effect as it is given mortal man to achieve. We may also say of Father Coan that though service to be rendered. Providence had elected two men who should work together as one. For the two men, utterly unlike, were yet pronounced as individuals, each doing his own thinking, and respecting his own judgment, he was preeminently an evangelist, he was not and yet working together harmoniously and altogether such. That was his distinctive charefficiently for a period rarely allotted to the acteristic, but he was other than that as well. He was a pastor, indefatigable in his parish activities of man. One was enthusiastic, optimistic, imaginaduties; enduring privations and hardness in tive, and intense.

The golden age of his the result was a remarkably successful record of long-sustained and faithful missionary en- evangelistic success was comparatively brief. The major portion of his ministry was necesdeavor.

The the ways they had been helped themselves. It glory of the evangelist is one, but the glory was the best training possible for those days, of the faithful ambassador of Christ, who and with all our improved equipment we have teaches when he cannot evangelize in the mass, is another. nothing better now. Writes Albert Shaw: "The finest, soundest, He was notably an effective preacher, as and most effective educational methods in use distinguished from an evangelist. He had a in the United States are to be found in cer- fine and commanding presence, a mellow voice, tain schools for negroes and Indians:" but a magnetic graciousness, a poetic imagination, the pioneer leader in those schools was General a passion for truth, and a serene confidence in Samuel C. Armstrong, and he said that he got the coming of the Kingdom. The deepest note his ideas from the methods he saw. when a in all his preaching, however, was the evangelistic. It was always in evidence. He could boy. in Father Lyman's school at Hilo. Those methods certainly were effectual in never forget that it was his great commission and when his preaching fell upon times that offered limited scope for the great passion of his soul, he accepted willingly the task of helping forward the kingdom in other ways. He came to Hawaii out of an atmosphere of evangelism in the homeland. The great Nettleton was of his own kith and kin. He had been an effective worker under the greater Finney. He was nurtured of Providence for the great pentecostal opportunities which he seized here at Hilo. and turned to such account in the early years of his ministry. "I preached just as hard as I could." he writes. "There was a fire in my bones." As proofs of the power of his evangelism. let me remind you that durin? the year ending June. 1830, there were 5.244 admissions into membership in this Haili Church; and that on the first Sunday in July, 1838, just seventy years ago next Sunday. 1.70s persons were received into this church on confession of faith. Admitting that this was a great popular movement, we must remember that it was not an unthinking impulse. Men were made aware of the seriousness of the step they proposed to take, and they took it intelligently. With such large numbers, relapses were certain, but it was afterwards computed that only one out to evangelize, of sixty failed to abide faithful. Very rarely has a community withstood the demoralizing influences of such a radical social and industrial overturn as the first Christian generations of Hawaii withstood ; and few have maintainthey did, the "d in such conditions so well institutions and practice of religion ; and never has such a record been witnessed before or since among any native people. There was power in the Word of God in those days. As we try to recall those scenes, we realize that we are standing within sacred nrecincts. This is holy ground: for hither God sent His evangelist: and here at his side stood the teacher also sent from God, and here the multitudes heard the Word and were saved. Is the power of the old evangel gone? Ts there no longer a real affinity between the Gospel of Christ and the hunger of the soul' "True preaching," said Beecher, "is yet to come." "The best teaching and the best preachint' of the Bible that the world has ever seen." writes one of our keen modern thinkers, "are still ahead." "The world," wrote Father Coan. a generation ago, "will yet see greater things than science, civilization, sages, seers, and angels have ever seen." "Houses ar.d villages will vet he snrinkled over the land these desolate fields will yet rejoice under the hand of the tiller: our streams will sing and laugh in channels of industry; churches and schools shall bless the future Fenerations. Our streets and lawns shall be full of boys playing, and heaven will look down with smiles upon a redeemed land, upon a lost ocean gem restored, and shining in the sight of God." Being dead, the men of the toilsome years of the past still speak to us. The work they loved is still the work that must be done. The opportunity that came to them, has come to us. The two great forces that are to count in the progressive redemption of Hawaii are those of a sane and earnest evangelism, and of practical Christian teaching. We must not forget the spirit and labors of these two men of God, nor fail to catch some genuine inspiration from the thought of the communion of saints, whereby those who yet labor on, are compassed about with a cloud of witnesses to the power of the grace of Christ. Here stood Titus Coan, and here stood David Lyman. The benignant features of one : �9 THE FRIEND. look down upon me in benediction. The eagle eye of the other searches me through and through.

Here those two men stood as the ambassadors of Christ. They wrought long and worthily. On us, in the Providence of God, in some measure, has fallen their mantle, not the mantle of their ability, but the mantle of responsibility for the forwarding of Christ's cause to the utmost of our resources and opportunity. It is a moment of vision, backward and forward: backward to the ample and heroic endeavor of the past, forward to the engrossing duties, and high calls of the new day. As we face forward, and take up the tasks that are for us to fulfil, in the full consciousness of our insufficiency, but with great resolves to be true to the spirit of the fathers, we look up once more into the vanishing distances and cry with full hearts: "My Father! my Father! the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof." lion was created for .Miss Bother, that should be thus used for the pulling the College might have the benefit of her down rather than for the upbuilding.

From the following extracts from a letter of Dr. Laker's we judge that the Kona type of Christianity is not lacking in vitality. Growing efficiency of workers, a workers' training class supplying bright youth to other places, activities among both men and women, the upholding of justice, fellowship of nationalities and denominations, and not the least of all, —adversaries, —many adversaries, which Paul regarded as the sign of a great open door. Dr. Laker says: All of our workers at the Center grow even more efficient, but often when we think we have the best hold upon people they disappoint us, yet we labor on. One of Mr. Okunutra's more prominent converts has been suffering persecution. The Buddhists have combined to cease buying at his store and to call in their loans to him unless he renounces Christianity and stops allowing services in his building. He asked our prayers and we are thankful that be has been kept so far, but a part of those in the Christian Association for Young Men have yielded to pressure and withdrawn. Mr. Okomura holds three services a Sunday along the twenty miles at the center of the Kona*. One of our helpers is teaching English weekly to a class of Koreans who attend our Sunday School. We are glad of fellowship with these Christian Koreans, who have their own Evangelist sent by the Methodist Board. Our Central Church was beautifully decorated for our Easter concert, with 7}, people present. The church building has since been patched and painted inside and out, and its warm flesh-color tints set off its old koa pews and furnishings excellently. We are sorry to feel obliged to aid a number of our brightest voting people to go away to school this fall, but we rejoice for them. The annual meeting of the Women's Auxiliary to our Island Aid Department was held at "The Watch-Tower" in April, with 33 ladies present out of a total of some 50 members on the Island. Preachers' meeting included an outline of the Life of Christ, a Foreign Mission sermon and prayers and general discussion. The Missionary has been obliged to be present at court to protest against cer- tain men and actions, successfully at least for the time. It is a disagreeable duty. Five have joined the church at H .lani and one at Kailua the past quarter. We were glad to have a number of the Episcopal people worship with us during the two weeks' absence of their pastor. MR. 13 MIYAGAWA WELCOMED. Rev. Tsuneteru Miyagawa, whose coming was announced in the July issue of The Friend, arrived on the Siberia on the 26th tilt., and taking up his abode in the parsonage of the Xuuanu Street Church, at once began a vigorous campaign by daily meetings with evangelists and workers and by visitation and evening addresses. The morning lectures in the Japanese Y. M. C. A. occupy the hour from nine to ten and are on the general subject of the "Development of Christian Thought." We are sorry that the large space devoted to the Annual Meeting at Hilo prevents us from quoting largely at this time from his exceedingly valuable and inspiring addresses. At the Welcome Meeting and Reception in the Makiki Church on Monday evening, July 27th, addresses of welcome were given by Hon. I'. C. Jones, representing the Hawaiian Hoard, and Rev. (i. Motokawa, representing the Japanese. Mr. Miyagawa spoke on the "Progress of Christianity in Japan." Fifteen years ago, he said, Prof. Inouye of the Imperial University represented Christianity as hopelessly incompatible with the Japanese national life. Today the Government University at Kyoto has a lectureship on Christianity and not orilv the students but the teachers attend. Every Sunday the Christian message reaches the ears of 50,000 believers in Japan. Our campaign here, he said, must be of the aggressive sort. Religion is looked upon by many as a means of giving people a comfortable hope. In this campaign we are called to a different expression of religion. It is to be a fight. Success attained is no signal for relaxation. If you have set out to win 100 people to Christ in a year and have won them in six months vott are not to stop and rest on your oars but aim at 200. The business man who has made $100 does not think of stopping at that figure, he doubles his expectations and reinvests his gains. Mr. Miyagawa holds at his tongue's end an inexhaustible store of exquisite gems of Japanese literature, which add both beauty and force to his own original and charming style of speech. He has the winning smile of a man who loves men and enjoys life and humor, and wit. forceful assertion and serious exhortation are mingled in natural fluency in his scholarly sermons, so that men of every class are equally fascinated by his address. DMTUAEHOPDRSWIMNAY ORK. From a Paper by Mrs. W. S. Terry. A modern school is no longer madeup of Primary and Main school departments, but the Primary alone consists of Cradle Roll—babies tinder three years; Beginners Department, children from three to six years old; Primary Department, children from six to nine years old, and Junior Department, children from nine to twelve years old. Some of the reasons for these divisions are: ist. The children themselves are graded—select two children, one five years and one right years— they are in different stages of physical and mental development — what at- tracts one does not the other and the teaching will be for one or the other— both. Children of about the same development should be grouped to- not gether. 2nd. Children are graded in day schools, they are used to system and it seems natural to them to have the same in Sunday School. I was talking with a small boy not long since, he bad just started in school and he said he went to Sunday School and Monday School, a school in each case on different days with different subjects taught, 3rd. Through grading, enthusiasm is produced and progress made. — 4th. The order is better, system in teaching is absolutely ess mtial to progress —what children usually learn in Sunday School is disconnected, disjointed, fragmentary—we are supposed to teach the text book, the Holy Bible —not simply tell the stories, and paint pictures of our own conception upon the child's mind. And this leads me to say that no method, up-to-date, back date or any kind of date can be successfully tauirht without efficient, intel- ligent, earnest, consecrated teachers; back of them a Godly, wise, sympathetic superintendent; and back of him a loving, whole-souled, able pastor. The school once graded, we are called upon to introduce other features— those following most naturally are graded lessons; graded teachers, and regular promotions or graduations. Select some certain service, as "Children's Day," when these promotions take place and the different grades can thus furnish the material for the greater part of the program. If practicable, seat your school according to grades— so when Promotion Day comes, there will be a change of seat —locality (Continued on Page ij) �TUP. 14 FRIEND, .

Beginning with this number of The Friend the Sunday School Association of Hawaii is given three pages to be devoted each month to the interests of Sunday school work in the Islands.

This excellent paper has done much good in its short life of nine months, and the Rev. hi. P>.

We ate glad that Mr. Turner is to give i;s assistance in these Sunday School pages and we trust that The Friend, with it,, new business arrangement and enlarged staff of editors, will reach the same homes that were reached by "Hawaiian Youth."

The Sunday School Association at Hilo. The great meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in Hilo, reported fully in other columns of this issue, proved conclusively that the ( hristians of Hawaii are thoroughly interested in Sunday School work. It is to them as important as any other department of Christian activity and the interest in the schools is not confined to any one age. No one can measure the value of the past convention in its influence for widespread righteousness throughout the Islands. Ami the impetus given to aggressive Sunday School work is already being noticed in some of the tentively. Ihe evening session was also in the interests of the Sunday School Association. The Rev. F. B. Turner gave an inspiring talk on the vital theme, "The Child for Christ." The Rev. M. K. Xakuina interpreted Mr. Turner's words SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE. Sunday School Association Day. The benefits from this day were mainly educational and appealed to the mind through what Dr. Schaufller calls the "eat gate." while the Jubilee Day appealed more to the heart and the emotions through the "eye-gate" as Dr. Schauffler terms it. One felt at the end of the Association Day that much valuable instruction had been imparted and helpful, practical suggestions had been given. Live problems were discussed intelligently, and the various phases of Sunday School Jubilee Day The features of this day were the parade, the "hoike" and the luau, all of them popular means of entertainment, and the crowds that witnessed the imposing procession of the Sunday Schools as they marched through llilo's streets led by the llilo band, the multitude within the Haiti Church yard, trying to get a glimpse of the interesting exercises and the crowd of eight hundred at the luau attested the fact that Sunday School Jubilee Day was highly appreciated. Many dele gates from other islands were surprised the numerical showing made in the parade by the Sunday Schools of "Lather" (nan's planting, and all were delighted with their excellent singing and reciting of Scripture, always a pro minent part in these hoikes. The Jubilee luau was a satisfactory ending to the morning's activities. at �THL FRIEND Jubilee Day, Sunday, June 28 Sunday was to many ■ no less interesting day than Saturday. It was the great Jubilee day, the celebration of the building of the Haili Church fifty years ago. Like all the mornings of the Convention week the sunrise prayer-meeting started the day aright in worshipping Cod and creating the spirit of devotion. The hour of ten found the auditorium of Haiti Church packed with people interested in its present and past and future. Decorated with cala lilies, gladioli, ginger, roses, dahlias and other attractive adornments, the choir loft and pulpit platform presented a beautiful and harmonious ap- the prcat services of "Lather" Lyman to Hawaii nei chiefly as Christian teacher.

We purchased bibles with very good print from the Bible house for JO cents each. The children, who earned bibles, vv ere expected to liriug Ihem to class each Sunday. An assistant carefully marked with pencil the day's Golden Text in each bible and so when the children were old enough to read, (hey found many precious verses marked in their bibles and were helped. Another thing: report at once to your pastor any new members who come into your beginner's class. An interesting and helpful class of Ihis kind is often the means of bringing whole families to the church and finally to Christ. One of many cases, I have in mind, that occurred during my Pansy Class experience. One Sabbath a dear little girl was brought by her grandmother to our class. She was happy at once and interested in every detail of our program. The two following Sabbaths she was absent and 1 was disappointed, hut the third week she came with a radiant face. Her grandmother told us the child's father was an atheist and was very angry when he found his little daughter had been to Sunday School. He forbade her ever to go again. She cried and pleaded hut he was firm. The third Sabbath she threw her arms about his neck crying. "Dear papa, please let me go!" and she won his reluctant consent. Before long the little sister came too and at Christmas they persuaded that father to come to the festival. There he met our pastor and soon afterward was persuaded lo join the choir. Before a year had passed the older members of that family all joined the church. "A little child shall lead Ihem." M WT.KLI.K W. WALKER, Honolulu. Hawaii Cousins The fifty-sixth annual report of the Hawaiian Mission Children Society has just been nublished and sent out to its widely scattered members. The printers have not only been very prompt this year and brought the booklet out in due time, but have made It very attractive in appearance. Three photographs are given. Mother Parker's picture, though not a good one, is the best that could be obtained, and will be greatly valued by all who knew lur. That of our missionaries, the Delaporte family, will interest all who have kept in touch with their great and good work on Nauru, from year to year. The new picture of the "Old Mission Home" gives another view of this most interesting spot. This number of the report will be especially welcomed by the absent members and by ihe younger generation, because of the presentation written by our Cousin lames A. Wilder, representing a "Missionary Sewin fr Circle" in 1840. We �THE FRIEND miss, however, the old time costumes the unveiling, at the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association on Changes arc taking place so rapidly June 28, of the memorial windows at that we need the help of all the mem llaili Church,andllilo, in memory of Father Lyman.

Miss Atherton and Miss I'laxtnan have returned from the Orient ; vacation has called many to other lands, and one, \V. 0. At water, has gone to the welcoming shores of Eternity. The little glimpses we have had of Mr. At water's life suggest a radiant smile and warm band-clasp to the stranger in old Fori Street Church, a place always occupied at the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, carefully prepared records and statistics of church work, his passing in and out of the church door holding the band of a dancing little girl or sitting in the pew with a protecting arm around a loved son. What more is needed to round out a strong beautiful character, but the one glimpse of our loved and respected Cousin as be stands just inside the heavenly gates to greet his friends and welcome Ihe stranger to the perfected church above, where are no tears, and "(iod is the light thereof." We have sympathized, too, with our Cousin Harriet Needbain in the long sickness and death of her father. Early in May, there passed through Honolulu, on his way around the world as a Student Volunteer, the only son of our Cousin I.nella Andrews Kilborne. He expects to finish his education and then take up work in Turkey, near his relatives. Dr. and Mrs. Shepard Four of our young lady Cousins have been married (luring these short weeks. On May |6, in Brooklyn, Miss Rcrnice I'auahi Andrews became Mrs. Hernhard Edward Eernow: on May 30th, Miss Rhoda Green and Mr. Wade Warren Thayer were married: on June 15th, Miss 'Charlotte Lee llartvvell was married to Mr. Charles Henry Chater at Chestnut Hill, Mass., and on the 20th of June, Miss Evelyn Esrlinton Andrews and Mr. Reginald Hilliard I'.urchcr were married in Brooklyn, \. Y. To till these young men the Cousins send congratulations, and will be exceedingly happy to welcome them into our society of Hawaiian Mission Children. Another event of great interest was ing there who bad been parishioners of bather Coan in the old revival days of 1836. and pupils of Father Lyman in the long ago. These were the ones, there being no descendants of bather Coan present, who drew the cords that revealed the window "Moses" with the motto, "lie led them by the band." bather Lyman's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were there to honor their ancestor, and when they had revealed, "The Good Shepherd," Judge F. l.vman and Mr. Kuftis Lyman told of the early work of these bathers and Mothers. All this was given in the Hawaiian language, as were the eloquent addresses of Key. S. L. Desha and Key. Samuel Kapu, Key. Mr. Oleson being the only one who spoke in English. His was a beautiful tribute to the character of these pioneers, whose work supplemented and dovetailed into each other and still continues, widening. Another interesting ceremony was' the dedication of the baptismal font given to the llaili Church by our Cousin Irene li Hollowav. in memory of her mother, and the baptism of many children on that occasion. There is no space for description of a wonderful service held on the brink of I lalcmauinau by members of the Association—besides the whole scene was beyond description. M. S.

When Shall the Primary Scholar be Promoted? these the pendulum has days In swung away from the memorizing of Scripture. We have too many helps and illustrations, blackboard and kindergarten appliances, so that the store of helpful Bible knowledge is pitifully small. What is learned tn votith is never entirely lost. As think into this, my inclination is to question the use of quarterlies. A prominent authority in this work says: "There arc a few things which a child leaving a primary class should know thoroughly, namely: The Lord's I I'raver, the ten commandments; the beatitudes, the store of the birth, childhood, death and resurrection of Christ. He should know why Christ came into the world; be should know that through faith in Christ we are saved; be should know thai (lod. the Father, is love and desires the salvation of all men." To aid in the promotions a well-kept class record by a secretary will prove helpful to the teacher and superintendent, and stimulating to the pupils. The devices for the same arc main and various, and choice can be made according to the taste of the individual teachers. Let us consider what should be taught,—first and last the Bible.

Bishop, as the oldest survivor of the missionaries in Hawaii formerly in tln- But the sad and deadly mischief of all this delusion is that belief in the Bible as containing the Word of God has been very generally undermined in the popular mind, and even our public editors do not hesitate to speak of (iod's Commandments with contempt. Very extensively also, leading Churches and Divinity Schools have openly abandoned the plain teachings of Christ and His Apostles, and permit themselves to teach contrary doctrines under the name of "new Theology.'" Altogether this constitutes a great and formidable Apostasy. I desire here and now to hear my solemn testimony against tin's terrible tide of antiChristian error, in the name of the bathers who brought to Hawaii the Gospel of Christ, and who laboriously published the Bible in the Hawaiian tonTlC—a Book which now is treated service of the American Board, and also as having been for many years the editor of lilt friend, desires herein to express definitely his attitude of earnest protest against the present Wide-spread movement to discredit the authority and historical truth of the Bible.

A third thing which trailed along that evening in the middle of the wake was the moonlight, or rather, the moonshine, of our bland and naive assurance to humanity that our hardhitting navy is a sort of a benevolent institution designed for the preservation of the peace of the world. "I larken, ye beligereut nations of the earth to our evangel of peace! Prepare if you will for war;«wc a-e doing nothing mit having our feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace.

Some Things That Were Not in the Wake. Constructive work does not thrive in the wake of the fleet. ()ur representatives this*vear have been voting away seventy per cent, of tile entire revenues of the government for a war budget. With war prospects so remote as ours, we question whether our government does wisely to speculate in war futures to the extent of seventy per cent, of its income. Might it not well devote a little larger percentage in constructive work? Thirty per cent, looks a trifle out of proportion for the entire executive. legislative and judicial departments of our government, its waterways, forestry, postal service, lighthouses, consular and diplomatic service, and the various other lines of con- structive work. Commerce does not find encouragement in the wake of the Fleet. True it comes out and makes its how at the passing of the battleships; like the cuckoo in the clock at the passing of the hour, hut then it retires to consider how soon its day will have been told off; for the constant increase in war �September, tonß 7 i'llh.

The total sum of money spent in this one district of Maui for repairs and building is * 1,600. all of which, except the generous help of $850 from one Maui friend, was raised by the Hawaiian people, many of whom have deprived themselves of new clothing and necessary improvements on their bouses that these long neglected duirchcs might be repaired. With the exception of a small sum on the I'lu.lalakua Church, there is no debt on these three churches. The Maui agent has just completed a tour of Molokai, including I'clekunu and Wailau. These two places are very seldom visited by sirangers, because they are so difficult of access. At I'clekunu the aircnt has recently repaired the tumbled down church, and it Wailau an order of lumber has just been shipped to make over the little church, which was carried twenty feet inland by a high wave three years ago. ()n the other side of the island Rev. I. I). laea has been working up a sort of religious revolution at Kaunakakai and Kaluaaha. The latter, almost neglected before be came there, is now well attended every second Sunday when he preaches. In five months seventeen new members have been received into the church and tvvlve more have promised to join at the next communion. At Kaunakakai the attendance is about eighty-five every Sunday. Here Rev. Mr. laea will have added by (October tst twenty new members. He has exerted his influence for good over the entire island, stopping the excessive drinking in some places, and has successfully put an end to the practices of the kahuna. We are glad to report that by the time the Maui .Association meets at Kaluaaha, Rev. Mr. laea will have a new parsonage in which he can entertain the members of the Association. Two pamphlets have been recently printed in Hawaiian on Bible study, and are to he freely distributed over Maui, Molokai and Lanai through the generosity of Mrs. H. P. Baldwin. We are confident that these helps will furnish much new material for thought and Bible study among our Hawaiian R. B. D. Christians. �THE FRIEXD 8 The Scribe's Corner REV. WM.

A splendid opportunity lies right ahead for the Christian people of Hawaii to reach a large and influential constituency with information that will greatly quicken interest in us and our work. fhe mission boards aiid religious bodies of (ireater Boston are planning to hold a monster educational exposition in that city in the fait of 1909. "The plan and SCope of the proposed exposition includes almost a bewildering array of educational features; tableaux, pageants, dramas, illustrated lectures, and addresses by celebrated missionary speakers. Boston is an ideal place in which to try this plan which has been so helpful recently in Great Britain. The seat of the two oldest foreign boards, the second center of population in the United States, and with denominations working in close accord, Boston should achieve a great success in this venture." N'ovv Hawaii ought to be amply represented in this exposition. Any fair appraisal of the effect of missions here should comprehend the entire progress of the country in its material, social, educational and religious development. There will be little call for what is bizarre. Charts, pictures, products and whatever else would appeal to intelligent observers should be provided in profusion. A year's orcparation under the skillful guidance of a select committee ought to secure a representation of'Hawaii at Boston that will prove, even on the material side, one if the best advertising schemes yet devised. .■* ■* .«* The early missionaries to Hawaii had "\pert educators and statesmen among -hem. Tt will always he to the honor of 'hose far-seeing men that they gave a broad interpretation to their missionary hit v. and were innovators of policies that have since been adopted by missionary •'geiicies the world around. To be sure •onie organizations have come into the field with their recognition of such facts father late in the day: and then even without realizing that they were some eighty years slow. Thus The Churchman, in commenting on the results of the Pan-Anglican Congress, says:"The missionary today does not go out with his i-onfessional standards as he once did. The Pan-Anglican Congress, if it has lone nothing else than this, has given unmistakable, undeniable proof, that missions demand education, statesmanship md w'sdoin. not piety or good intentions alone."

Here is Dr. Dennis in "The Xew Horoscope of Missions" telling us that "there was an average of at least 2600 communicants admitted to Christian churches in mission fields every Sunday last year. We could have taken possession of one of our large church edifices and packed it to the doors, morning and afternoon every Sunday for the past twelvemonth with a fresh throng of Communicants at each service, claiming their places for the first time at the "Lord's Table." We are in the day of small things here in Hawaii, and yet there were 535 admissions to our churches the past year on profession of faith. That would mean what would be equivalent to an addition of ten new members to Central Union or Kawaiahao Church every Sunday of the twelvemonth. If we could look on such a sight as that fifty-two times each year, we would conclude that the Gospel certainly was getting hold of some people. A A ,•» J* Jl J» We would all like to live as long as we can, and most of us would certainly like to live longer than we expect to. And therefore when any man comes Forward and undertakes "to frame an optimistic conception of life." and to do it on a scientific basis, we hail him as a public benefactor. The recent volume of Metchnikoff of the Pasteur Institute, on "The Prolongation of Life." is a serious discussion of the probability that life can be prolonged, and that too happily and usefully, through the conquering of disease, and the quickening of the sense of life. fhis latter is to be secured through the fostering of an optimistic spirit. The grave defect of the author seems to be in ignoring the profoundest optimistic force in human life. viz.. a sane, and rational, and satisfying religious faith. ()ptimism is not a plant that grows in a barren or shallow soil. It is notoriously the path of the just man that sbineth more and more unto the perfect day.

An Educational Epoch. September is one of the most inter ,-sting and important months in the calendar of the Territory, tilled to the brim with promise and prophecy. rhousands of young people gather there to face the beginning of a new school year. Hundreds of new faces are in the throng. All nationalities ue represented. New members have formed the different faculties. It is a time of new hopes and resolutions; there is a joyful expectancy, a mental "hum" in the air, which is filled, with the breath of youth's spring time. Never has there been a September in Hawaii of which this can be more trulysaid than this particular one on which we have entered in the good year of M-oX. A fine fervor has attached all our schools, some in an usual degree. Oahu College is strengthening along all lines and will, we trust, forge along the way which leads to a real collegiate status. Kamehameha rejoices j" its magnificent new industrial building, one of the finest owned by any school in the world.

After a few remarks on the material progress of Japan, as illustrated in the magnificent new ocean liner, the lenvo Martt, which from keel to topmast is of Japanese construction, Mr. Miyagawa called attention to the fact that l.ipan is far behind in the higher ideals of progress. \t this a howl of dissent arose from several quarters, and one newspaper reporter, with threats, dc dared thai the speaker sin,old not be allowed to proceed. The audience, however, determined to hear, drowned] him out with their protest against disH turbance. Time and again as the uproar subsided, the obstreperous objector interposed'an emphatic "Hut," and every time his word-- wen- cut short by the shouting audience, till it seemed as though the meeting might end ill a riot.

Not only should the influence of each school he felt among its constituency in their spiritual uplift and development of character but the usefulness of each school in advancing the Kingdom of Heaven among those who know not the Christ should be worked with advantage. 'I'o this end tlv missionary spirit should he cultivated by superintendent and teadicrs alike. So Sunday School "liveth unto itself" nor does it exist solely for its own benefit. A dying Sunday School may he revived if the missionary spirit be instilled into the leaders of the school, do go out and bring in < titers, to be interested in the Christian work among all the various nationalities here and in the work among other lauds to the extent of giving time, sympathy, prayers ami financial help—this is to keep alive the spirit of missions, the very life itself of Christianity. 'I'be month of September will find the Hawaii Association meeting at Puula in Puna and the Maui Association gathering together at Kaluaaha Molokai. We are looking for a great blessing from these association meetings, not only spiritually hut also educationally.

We should be open to all reasonable suggestions and be on the lookout for new methods, few of our SundaySchools can be said to he ever-organized. A brief survey of the field will lead one to the idea that we need teacher-training classes or courses of study; that we need a home department in every church and Sundayschool, that we need adult. Bible classes and elementary classes that shall be efficiently led by capable men or women, that we need to develop healthy missionary zeal and create the strong temperance spirit in all our schools. We feel the need of all these things and therefore desire to meet the need of them by using the time and talents of loyal Christian workers. Reader, will you not do what you can to aid us in the great Sunday School work? We need scores of men and women in this form of service. Let the Superintendent know of your desire to help and he will try to place you where vnn can serve your Master in leading others to know and follow Him. ,« A A ,«* J* ■•* THE CHILD FOR CHRIST. E. B. Tt-RM K. The Christian world is awakening to the value of the child soul. And for this most significant fact, we must largely thank The International Sunday School Association—that wonderful blessed body of consecrated men and women which is directing the Bible study of over twentyfive million of people. Our proposition tonight is that the child must he won for Christ. I should like to put that statement in italics, in red letters, underline it and emphasize it in every wav possible. There is no fact in all our religious thinking, both religious and secular, that needs emphasis as does that fact. SOMI-.

Protestant or Roman Catholic. Who are these non-church goers' They are for the most part, of Protestant birth and affiliations. Roman Catholics are faithful church attendants. There is only one explanation why the people of the Roman Catholic faith are so obedient to their church's requirements. It is this: the early, continuous, studious and thorough training of the child. Francis Xavier. the great Roman Catholic priest of India, said: "Give me the children until they are seven yean old. and any one maytake them afterwards." Xavier would go through the streets of (ioa ringing a bell. entreating parents to send their children and slaves to he instructed. Through the lives of the young be left bis impress upon India. STARTLING FACTS, still question whether the ProChurch is neglecting her youth? Here are two facts: r 1.—Nine-tenths (<)O /r) of those who come into the membership of the Protcstirte churches in our country, do so before they are twenty years of age. and of our communicant membership comes from the Sunday Schools. 2.—The Church has permitted multitudes of youth to drift from its doors forever into the world. Through a comparison of the number of children in attendance upon Sunday Schools with the number of children within the scholastic age nf <■ and 18 years, as reported periodically through our national census, we may say, as a conservative estimate, that 40T of the Protestant unchurched masses were once within the pale of the Church. There are today 1,,000.000 hoys and girls in our country who never cross the threshold of a Sunday School, cither Protestant or Roman Catholic. Do yon testant PMjtJDICE pis.vi'i'i'.AuiNi;. 1 am very glad to say that much of the It has been carefully estimated that less than 30 per cent, of our population old-time prejudice in connection with �THE FRIEND September, 1908 child conversion is being done avvav with. I suppose this prejudice originally developed from the feeling that children did not sufficiently know just what a decision for Christ meant. But some of us feel that children know more about this subject than older ones do. It is certainly true that the children are not far from the Kingdom of heaven. I am sure that our great Leader, Jesus Christ, was never in sympathy with any effort made to discourage child decision for Him. When the disciples, so like many of this generation, rebuked the mothers for disturbing Christ with their children. He said, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." We can never forget the woe this supreme Lover of childhood pronounced upon those thoughtless ones, who cast stumbling blocks in the way of His little ones. Let us he doubly careful that the mill stone condemnation be not the fate of any of us. BIBLE stands FOR CHILD CONVERSION. There is .sufficient testimony from the Scriptures that the Bible stands for child conversion. We read of John the Baptist, that be was "tilled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb." Was it not Timothy of whom Paul said, "Prom a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures." There was little Samuel, who "ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod." The Jewish parents early taught their children, that the fear of the.Lord was the beginning of all wisdom. When Jesus asked that significant question of Peter. "I.ovest thou me?" I am glad that He first said, "Feed my lambs." Xot until He speaks the second time does Jesus say, "Feed my sheep." Why? P>ecause the lambs are the hope of the flock. flu- church of the future is the child of today. .Many of the early fathers were converted at a young age. Polycarp, martyred at the age of 95, declared that he bad served God 86 years, showing that he was converted at the age of 9 years. Matthew Henry, who wrote a standard commentary upon the liible, found his Savior before he was 11 years old. Jonathan Edwards says that he was converted at 7 years of age. Isaac Watts, the great hymn writer, saw the light at <' years of age. Joseph Gregg, when a child of 10 years, wrote the beautiful hymn— "Jesus and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee." Matthew W. Baldwin, of Philadelphia, the well-known builder of churches, as well as of locomotives, experienced a change of heart at an early age, and al- ways showed the greatest sympathy with children early deciding for Christ. WHY PREJUDICE IS DISAPPEARING. Perhaps for two reasons, the old prejudice on this subject, is becoming a thing of the past. It is due first to a revival in Personal work. 'I'be Christian Church, with its great lay army, is just awakening to a sense of its immense opportunities. Years ago the minister was deputed to talk to individuals about their soul's salvation. Today every man and woman who loves the Lord Jesus, recognizes his own, and her own responsibility in this matter. This is the only way, when every disciple is a witness, that the world will ever be brought to the feet of the lowly Xazarenc. Hut there is also another revival that has tended to emphasize the necessity for child witnessing. And that is a revival of the teaching function of the church: the placing of a larger emphasis on a studied Word. And in proportion as Christians know the Wr ord of God, they will be more willing to use it. Possibly some are still saying. "Put why make any such special effort to win the child to Christ? Just let him grow up naturally. He will probably come out all right in the end. Religion is a thing anyway which can not he forced upon child or man." Why make a special effort to win the boy and the girl to Christ, when they are yet in their youth? WHY WIN Till-: BOY AND GIRL TO CHRIST YOUTH. I can think of three good reasons: IN THEIR 1. Adolescence has often been shown to be the psychological time in which to make lasting life decisions. It is easier to definitely decide to accept Christ in one's youth, than at any later period in life. The heroic nature of Christ's life; 1 lis life of ministering unto others and His sufferings all appeal tremendously to the young heart. Do you ask how old a child should be, before he definitely decides for Christ? Does that not depend wholly upon the individual child and upon his previous home training? Xot all children are made after the same pattern, and each child is worthy of an individual study. I imagine more decisions have been made for Christ, centering about the age of twelve than any other age. A child is old enough to love Christ, when he is old enough to love father and mother. 2. Youth is not only the easiest time in which to decide for Christ, but there are nine chances out of ten that the decision will never he made, if not made in youth. Seventy per cent, of the men in our state penitentaries and reformatories are 15 men under years of age. \\ bo is to blame? Lord Shaftesbury, speaking out of his lifelong experience and study. said that it had been his observation that if a hoy is kopt pure and true up to 20 years of age. there is only one chance in fifty against hitn as to an honorable life voting thereafter. Some of the good people sitting before me tonight know absolutely nothing of the temptations that beset young men and young women, especially after they have left home and begun life in the larger cities. ()ur youth are surrounded by tons of infamous printing: the dime novel is thrust at them from every news stand; immoral and obscene pictures secretly find them through the mail. Anthony Comstock. the Secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, says: "Like the fiery serpents of old. this poisonous literature is moving against these millions of developing souls, infecting them with moral leprosy, stinging them to death." f haven't time to more than mention the insidious temptations to drink and gambling with all their debasing and debauching accompaniments. Their terrible effects are seen all about us. The overwhelming distractions of our modern social life is doing much to drive our voting people away from the Church and the Christ. Thousands of our young men and our voting women are drifting on the currents of worldliness, commercialism, materialism. Sabbath pleasureseeking and social dissipations that surge through all life. It is time that we were asking, "How is it possible to counteract such soul'I'be public destroying influences-" schools do not teach the Word of God— and, oh ! the pity of it. f would rather my boy learned character anil to do right, than to know by heart all the books in the world. 3. The third reason why the child ought to be won to Christ, when yet a child, is because God does not want the fag end of his children's lives. It is the height of contemptable meanness for any man to serve the world and the devil all through his active years of usefulness, and then hope to give his rightful King the last few hours of his wasted, misspent life. God wants our best service and He has a right to it, for all that we are, or hope to be, is His. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE HOME. I am sure you have anticipated the answer to this question of how we shall save our young people. They must be saved while they are still in the home and in the Sunday School. How win the child for Christ is a ques- tion which interests us all. The Moravian brethren have so brought up their �. September, iyoB nil-; FkiK.xn 16 children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord that not t ne in tell of the members of that church recollects any time when he began to be religious. In every church where there are young people there ought to lie a Pastor's class, which should aim to lead the boys and the girls of the church into the Christian life, to make plain the way of salvation and to explain the doctrines of the church, When such a class is available every parent ought to see to it. that his children are in that cla*S. It is only through some such means a- this, that our boys and girls become praying and speaking Christians. In this day. special, efforts are being made to win the scholar in ,the Sunday School to an open confession of faith .in the Master. It is the aim of all.schools who are alive to this question, tv ha v.: such a spiritual tone about them constantly, that it will be the most natural thing in the world, for our boys and girls to make in the school, their confession pf their Savior. Every school ought to have at least mice a year a Decision Lav, or as it is more favorably known, a Witnessing Pay, when for a month previous to tin'dav. specia) effort will be made by teachers and officers, to bring the older scholars to a decision for Christ. This work can not be done in a hurry, and to be a success, it must have the prayerful cooperation of every teacher. I.yen after the decision has been made, tin following up work is of great importance. That new babe in Christ must be fed upon a milk diet: it must be carefully and prayerfully nursed and taught: must be given Something to do. or else it will fuse interest in the Christian life. Important as is the Church and Sun day School in bringing our children to a decision for Christ, these agencies can not compare in importance with the home.
