It is a ulorious day 'if real issues and honest battles for larger life that Mr. Cleveland's letter opens to the man with vision. Bellemy's prophecies are haste'liing forward. 10 He has acted honorably, unselfishly. Tlu' only regrettable episode in foe campaign thus far stents to have been Delegate Kuhio's unfortunate speech against Mr. Kustace, in which the racial issue is said to have been strong Iv voiced. A more popular candidate en the other side would draw hundreds of Republican votes from the Prince, because of this utterance. With this exception the Hawaiiana have acted nobly. Consider Candidate Fern's attitude on the mayoralty question. If white man could have been i good found to stand for mayor on the Democratic ticket Mr. lent would have refused to run. If there are nothing hut weak candidates for some of the posi' turns t<> he filled November 3, the fault lies with the white men titled and mentioned for the place- who declined to run because of money considerations.

Is there any guarantee from the kind of men sent here by President McKinley as officeholders that Hawaii would he any hetter off if ruled by commissioners appointed in Washington? Would it be easier for Trusts to control Hawaii through a Commission? If the ( ommission should prove untrue to popular interests, would redress be easy to secure from a Congress hard of hearing and 5000 miles away? As it is now we have a fair chance to better matters every two years, we have an educatahle popular conscience—witness the anti-liquor triumph in the late Republican county convention—we have 1 listening court of last resort, the voters, and we have ways to make them hear. Washington City is under the eve of Congress, is the Nation's pride and is visited by every Congressman's constituents who would tret busy if the government of the capital were corrupt. But Hawaii has none of these advantages. She is far worse off than the Philippines in this regard. The preponderance of the native races there (rives a fulcrum for a mighty appeal to the conscience of the Nation.' But Hawaii falls in between and is easily overlooked. The continued application of the coastwise laws to these Islands in the face of their remission in the Philippines shows this. Liberty lovers fear the tyranny of rule by a few even when that few are good men. For good men can he fearfully hard and unjust. When the many hold the power, the demand for en education that shall render them able wisely to wield it is irresistible. Commission rule is an easy way out of our difficulties.

Bishop Awdry now comes to the front with his kindly corrective, showing that Japan has not deteriorated, that on the contrary she is moving on to higher things as steadily as ever, that the world expected too much of her and that his prophecy of disappointment had come true. Recognizing it as a time for the exercise of real friendship the Bishop calls upon his countrymen to quit harsh judgment, to recognize Japan's honest effort to advance and to reciprocate it by the helping hand.

It is refreshing to learn that the Young Men's Christian Association is seriously contemplating a campaign for a new building. Cnder its able and broadminded secretary, Mr. Paul Super, the Honolulu Association has made large strides forward. Mr. Super brought to the organization the ideal not merely of a good sized membership but of ser- importance to this Territory. The outcome of this interview has confirmed us in our estimate of the manifest destiny of this mid-sea Paradise. In sketching it no claim is made that it represents Mr. Loomis' point of view. In these days no public man should be interpreted except through written or carefully dictated statements intended by him for the eye of the people.

Give All Civilizations Free Play in This Territory. We are fond of boasting of the suour Anglo-Saxon civilization. Yet mainland Americans especially along the Pacific coast cherish a haunting fear that if the civilization of Asia he given half a chance it will make short shift of its nobler competitor. Now in this day of evolutionary science either the boast or the fear is an idle superstition. If Anglo-Saxein civilization is the higher it will prevail. If it cannot best the civilization eif Asia the sooner it goes to the wall the better, feir there is no more inexorable truth in the universe than that which dooms the less fit to extinction. Fortunately Hawaii can laugh in its sleeve both at the cocksureness of the Anglo-Saxon's boast anel at his craven fear. We know that we have something which the new noble worlel civilization must possess that Asia lacks and conversely that the Far East owns certain traits, which tho minus quantities in America, are hound to survive and enrich the coming cosmic race. Where in the world is there a better spot on which to try out this contest between West and Fast.

EBERSOLE The new Parish House is alreaely giving a new impetus to the various Every Sunelay Church activities. morning the members of Sunbeam class, the Infant department of the Sunday School, throng the room and pour forth their cheery songs through window and through door. With alternate room for their work and a place so attractive and easily accessible we are leieiking for a large increase in the attendance of the little folks. One hundred in regular attendance is the superintendent's aim, and at the present rate of increase this can easily he realizeel by Christmas time. The mid-week service and Christian Endeavor meeting on Sunday evening have also been transferred to this new room. The splendid lighting and the wielc, inviting doorways on siele and front make this an ieleal place for these semi-social meetings of the Church. Even passers-by on the street car have been overheard to remark upon the attractiveness and checrincss of the room. It cannot fail to increase the attendance upon both these meetings. Indeed the increase is alreaely evident. The trustees are to be congratulated on planning anil building for the Church such an attractive and useful a building. More and more as the various organizations of the Church come to use it will its real value to the Church's life become evident. The increased attendance and more general interest manifested in the midweek services the past month has been most encouraging. If in the carrying out of the new program of topics the spirit of real devotion present in every one of the meetings this first month can be preserved then will the pro- phecy of "N,ew Life in the Old Prayer Meeting," be really fulfilled. A number of new voices have been heard in the meetings so far anel many new faces seen in the audience. If every member of Central Union will become sufficiently intercstetl to come at least to one meeting a month a great good will be accomplisheil anel every meeting wouhl he well attended. This is our ieleal for this year. We believe that we shall come very near realizing it. The following subjects were consielered at the meetings this month : THE FRIEND Sept. 2—"What 1 should like my Church to be." Sept. ()—"How I find Christianity practiced." Sept. [6—"The New Life in Japan." Sept. 23—"The Spiritual Messages eif Whitticr." The meeting of September 16 deserves especial mention. Seldom indeed is a missionary meeting so thoroughly enjoyed by all as was this one. In the first fifteen minutes a half dozen short, well-chosen points were prescnteel by some of the members of Section "C," which is the section that is especially responsible for the thirel meeting each month, and then Rev. Hilton Pedley, of Canada, who is returning to his work in Japan, and who stopped over with friends one steamer in Honolulu, was introduced and greatly interested and impressed all in a thirtyminute address on what he considers the unmistakable signs of "The New Life in Japan." After hearing him those who were present could understand how men like Mr. Pedley were going hack to their work with such eagerness. "It is a great privilege," as he Said, "to be at work among a people who is moving forward with such mighty strides as is the Japanese, nation today." The Sunday School is planning for a three-month's campaign for new students, beginning with Rally Sunelay. Oct 4. and ending with the last Sunda}- of the old year, Dec. 27. The city will he divided into three or more elivisions geographically with an equal number of students in each division, the students to belong to the division in which they live. Each division will be headed by a captain and two lieutenants, who are to see that a thorough canvass is made of their respective districts for children not now attending any Sunelay School. To encourage the stiielents tei get eiut and work anel as a slight recognition of their work every student who succeeds in bringing in at least one new student will be given a badge as a mark of distinction, at the close of the campaign, other awards of merit will be given to those who have done the best work and public recognition will be made both of the individual workers and of the division that succeeded in introelucing the largest number of new stiielents. The ministers in their visitation work are constantly coining across families in which the children arc attending no Sunday School. By a united effort the school now proposes to find these children and bring as many as possible into 9 regular attendance. With its present equipment Central Union Sunday School could take care of many more stiielents. The children are in Honolulu anel will come when the right kind of invitation is given ami the proper effort is put forth to bring them in. At the autumn Communion Service, Sunday, Oct. 4, a number of new members were received into Central Union Church. The following come by letter from other Churches: Rev. anel Mrs. William Brewster .Oleson, Mr. anel Mrs. Clifford E. Livingston. Rev. and Mrs. Amos A.

A NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY. We notice in the September issue of •'The Sailors' Magazine." organ of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York, a statement with reference to the celebration of the eightieth anniversary of this noble society, earl) in October. This organization, which girdles the world with its fine ministry to the highest needs of the "toilers of the sea," has peculiar claims upon our grateful regard. Far hack in the past century it initiated work in Hawaii, which has been fruitful in large and beneficent results. We publish in this issue the reproduction of an old drawing of the historic Bethel Church, the frame of which was sent out from Boston and erccteel in 1833, under the auspices of this society. The first chaplain for the port eif Honolulu was Rev. John Diell (1832-1841). followed by Rev. Samuel C. Damon, D. D. 1 1841-1882). Rev. Townsend E. Taylor (1847-1851) anil Rev. Sercno E. Bishop, D.D. (1852-1861), were chaplains at Lahaina. The Bethel Church, which was here established may be regarded as the "Foster Mother" of a number of our local religious organizations, anel its influences for good have gone far and wide. During the chaplaincy of "Father Damon," the "Friend," which now sends its heartiest congratulations to the Seamen's Friend Society, on its notable anniversary, was launched on its long anel prosperous voyage. F. W. D. The Eightieth Anniversary of the American Seamen's Friend Society. The American Seamen's Friend Society is eight)' years old. It is an event of some importance to seafaring people.

It was a pleasure anel inspiration to see recently representatives from the teaching force of nearly all the schools of our city, meeting in a social gathering, one of our lieautiful summer afternoons. Many were new arrivals anil they met for the first time others who had been connected with the educational work of Hawaii fur many years. It was, to quote a favorite phrase of President Wheeler of the University eif California, "good to he there," in such an assembly of men and women devoted to the highest and most important of vexations. Tn a way we would hope that this jiarticular gathering may serve as an in formal initiation, in our social life, for this coming year, of what Walt Whitman was pleased to call "the fine institution of gooil comrades," made up. in this instance, of teachers from our varied school life. We have hern pleased to see that a movement is being made by our friends of the public schools towards resuming the Teachers' Association of other days. This should be earnestly presseel, as it will prove of much and lasting gooil tei the large body of teachers in our midst. We trust that the "social" note will be sounileil prominently, either in this connection or in some auxiliary organization.

Notes From The Field FRANK S. SCUDDER The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto Treasure Hid in Many who have followed with interest the work of Rev. Tsuneteru Miyagawa in his campaign among the Japanese of these islands will be glad to see a sketch of one of his addresses. For this purpose we have chosen his address on "I'nchanging 'Truth." one of the discourses in his series of morning lectures to Christian workers under the general subject of the Development of Christian 'Thought. ,* ,•* j .* .* ..<* UNCHANGING TRUTH. Abstract of an Address to Christian by Rev. Tsuneteru Mlyajcawa. Workers ( )ur beliefs are composed in part of absolute, unchanging truth, and in part of ideas which people commonly hold in regard to truth. Sometimes a belief behind which we have been firmly entrenched is shown to be questionable or untenable and our faith receives a severe shock, whereas if we examine it we shall find that what we were dinging to was not an unchanging truth but one of the everchanging opinions of men about that truth. Groping for a Basis. In studying the great tragedy uf the death of Christ, 1 found such difficulty with many of the common explanations that my faith was sorely tried. One thing, however, was clear to me, that Christ had elieel feir me, anil that clear assurance became the unshakable basis of my faith. So in viewing the great fact of Christianity in the world, beginning as it diel in Judea, spreading to Greece and Europe and filling the earth, permeating the lives of individuals, eif the home anel of society, the spirit and teaching of Christ is expressed in constantly varying types, and 1 wanted to grasp the unvarying truth that runs through all these varying expressions of its life anel power. What eliel John, Peter, James anil Paul say? As a result of examining their writings, it seemed clear thar Christ did not establish any fixed theology or form of Church govern- a Field. organization, such as a Church or a doctrinal or philosophical system, but only men- twelve men. Christ's Legacy. He left manhood as bis legacy tei the worlel. lie took humble men. and by an education of from one anel a half tei three years, transformed them into a band of masterly personalities who have stirred the world. That he should have made out eif Peter such a man as he did was one of the masterly achievements of Christ. John's bent was philosophy; Peter's, activity; James's, ethics. These were not sufficient. He must raise up Paul, a theologian. Study the change in Saul as affected by the noble death of humble Stephen, and then as transformed by the vision of Jesus. He was changed into Paul, —the organizer of the Church. Christ left these four men in the worlel, with life in them. They were four pillars established by him anil they were the founders of the Church. What about their theology? Paul. Paul's critics say he made many mistakes, hut it is plain that what Paul grasps is the practical application, the experimental essentials of Theology c. g. in Horn. 8, from Christ he receivc'el the "Abba bather," and life eternal through him. This is an unshakable ; foundation. In Gal. 2:20. it is "Christ in me," I become like Christ. There may be changes in this or that, but not in Christ. "Is Christ divided!" Peter. Peter does not argue. He lays ehiwn undoubted foundation principles. Christ is the corner stone. To this faith in Him add virtue, knowledge. temperance, godliness, brotherly love, etc. Paul uttered some things hard to he understood, hut these things elo not change. These are the immutable things "which Peter grasps, and on this foundation be urges us to grow in grace anil in the knowledge eif our Lorel Jesus Christ. John. John grasps the great principle that What he diel establish was (Sod's King- we are children of God, and shall theredom, that was clear. Unlike the fore become like the bather.

I could find no ethical principles, and the immovable ment or any philosophical system. The Test. The life and thought anel morality of Europe have been molded by Paul, Augustine anel Luther, by Melancthon too, and by the wonelerful Francis of Assisi, who was the most like Christ of any man. It was their likeness to Christ that made them communicators of life. Beecher ami Moody have affected the life of all America. What each of these men received was life. There is Campbell of London some say he is a devil. To be sure, he is not an adept at theology, but he has seized upon the one point, life. And there is Kliina, of Tokyo. A unitarian! they say, and buhl up their hanels. Ebina was blind for a year and a half after graduating, and was deeply impressed with the reality of the Christian religion; but he was confuseel over the benediction and never got over it. But what a man he is at heart! The life of Christ is there. His theology may be open to criticism, but in the essential faith of his heart there is no wav- : ering. People raise a great hue and cry over these men, who while their theology is divergent, yet in their lives are fireel with the spirit of Christ. Persons apply for admission into the Church. "Have you learned the ten commandments?" they ask. "Yes." "Can you say the Lord's Prayer," "Yes." "Have ynii memorized the creeel?" "Yes." "All right, the examination is satisfactory." So they say, and yet of these men whose theology differs from ours, although they are men in whom is the spirit of Jesus and who through lifthave been valiant soldiers of his, they cry out, Beware! Heretics! 1 would suggest to you what seem to me to be the essential elements of faith as presented to us by Jesus. i. I believe in the Father. 2. I believe in him who gives me life,—the Savior. 3. I believe in the Holy Spirit who makes me anew. 4. I believe the Bible is an inspiration unto Salvation. 5. I believe in the Just Judgment. 6. I believe in eternal life. 7. I believe in the observance of the sacraments of the Lord's Supper anel Baptism.

Sunday morning the "lloike" or Review of the- schools of ( )laa, Puula and ( Ipihikao took place before a large and appreciative audience. As usual the music was the most interesting feature.

"TEMPERANCE MAKES POVERTY". Sometimes the claim has been ad- vanced that the sale of intoxicants was necessary in order to build up the prosperity of a community, but even in the balmiest days of the liquor traffic the counter statement has never been advocated, that temperance makes a people poor and degraded, intellectually and morally. The "Lincoln" Pledge. The "Abraham Lincoln Pledge," socalled because it was signed and advocated by him, is one of the strongest and most concisely stated arguments against the use of intoxicants ever framed. Notice the three steps: "Whereas, the use of alcoholic liquors as a beverage is productive of pauperism, degradation and crime, "And believing it is our duty to discourage that which produces more evil than good; "We therefore pledge ourselves to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage." 1 le was urged in later life to partake : of intoxicants and replied "For thirty years I have been a temperance man, and I am too old to change." President Theodore Roosevelt with the same thought in mind as that voiced in the Lincoln Pledge said: "'The liquor business tends to produce criminality in the population at large, and law-breaking among the saloon keepers themselves. It debauches not only the body social, but the body politic as well." No Water Higher Than Its Source. Out of the enkindled thoughts of reformers come the truths which make the world think and its heart grow warm. The following from E. F. Chafin, the Prohibition nominee for the Presidency of the United States, is full of instruction: "A political party never can be any better than the evil it serves. It doesn't matter how many good men there are in the party. If they cannot carry the election without the criminal element in the party, then they must serve that criminal element after election and can get no better legislation than this criminal element will stand for." earnest A LIQUOR DEALERS' NOTICE. Ameing the large hand-bills preferred in the Hawaiian Historical is one which deserves especial attention in these days when the native population is preeminently tempted by the always present saloon. 'This hand-bill is a notice- signed by seven Liquor elealers in 18/13. It must be understood that some of these men. if not all, were proprietors of hotels in which bars were open for the sale of intoxicating liquors, 'The notice was printed in both English and Hawaiian Notice.

The conservatism of his figures may be gathered from a comparison of the estimated financial loss entailed by tuberculosis upon our country as calculated by himself and Prof. Fisher of Vale. Dr. Judd foots up an annual bill of $380,--000,000, while Prof. Pisher startled the nation at the recent tuberculosis congress with a total of more than a billion dollars. After endorsing the administrative measures for combatine the disease by Dr. Herman Piggs of the New York Board of Health, Dr. Judd proposes that in Honolulu these be instituted, that in addition the plan of public school medical examination advocated by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. W. 11. Babbitt, be put in operation, that a campaign of public education, both in the schools and throughout the community, be begun and that a work farm and sanatorium for consumptives be maintained. He specifically commends the good work of Leahi Home and the excellent service rendered by Palama Settlement, calling attention also to the College Club's new tuberculosis nurse. No more public spirited community than Honolulu exists in America and there is little question that in consequence of I)r Judd's careful presentation of the extreme urgency of the question the suggested measures of relief will he inaugurated. We may soon hope that our city's black record of one-sixth of deaths from all known causes due to tuberculosis may be brought up not only to the average of one-ninth which prevails elsewhere throughout the Union, but even considerably alxive 'hat menacing figure. Our climate deserves better things than our tuberculosis figures show. such scrupulous cleanliness, a joy to medical eyes, has been evolved from the previous conditions is a poser. A recent land purchase ,rives the locus for a swimming tank through which clear artesian water is always coursing. Judge Hart and the Oahu Railway Company know the secret of the wherewithal for these. A large low tield of useless land adjoining has just been secured—thanks to the Mary Castle Estate —and one hears a rumor of model tenement:; soon to follow. The entire work lias been a growth, the most economical use of meager resources enabling the Settlement to add first one then another feature when the demand became so imperative that it could not be resisted. The ministry of the Settlement is as wide as (iod's sky. \o questions of race, religion or creed are asked. Catholics, Buddhists, devotees of Shinto or Confucius, all are welcome and in consequence the love and loyalty of all are lavished 11(1011 the place. Non-Christian Japanese volunteered offerings to help erect the natatorium. The nurses go all over the city whenever called by physicians to minister to needy homes. The social status of the entire neighborhood is being slowly raised. Some day the old time tenement will have been driven out of the section by its healthfuller substitute. It is no wonder that a preventive work of this sort, which aims at removing the causes of evil conditions of life, while it also has appealed so strongly to the large number of people who contribute to make it possible. Palama's Day Coming. Judge Hart's letter in re Palama Settlemet published early last month in the Advertiser served to focus attention upon this remarkable institution in an altogether unique way. Indeed so quiet has been the growth of Mr. Rath's work and so unostentations its wide ministries that until one investigates what it is actually doing, the suspicion of its large hold iqxm all classes in its section of the city never crosses the mind. Few Honolulans have any idea that this modest little center is sending forth influences which bind social classes remarkably. One reason for this is that the Settlement while in the very focus of the worst in Palama lies hidden from sight. The building abutting on north King street is anything but striking in appearance. Disreputable looking tenements shut it in on all observed sides. A short alley leads, however, to a grass plat most refreshing to the eye in contrast with the surrounding dullness. The Pure Ne Plus Ultra. A business leader who is one of Honolulu's best known experts in financial statements said a few days ago of the annual report of Rev. R. li. Dodge, "I do not know him personally, but that is the best financial statement of the kind I have ever seen." He was right. Such a document ought to be studied by every business man on the Islands who loves a thing well done. No wonder Maui forges to the front when she can show an annual record like this one. The island has a noble team of leaders in Turner of I'aia, of l.aWaltrip of Kahului, haina and Dodge of Wajluku. It is only a short three years since Mr. Dodge began work with the Wailuku Union Church that had been moribund for half a decade or so and bad dwindled down to one member. The town has not yet begun to realize the growth which it will some day experience, but when that day begins this lively little organization will Milk Depot is a tasteful little structure in the very center of this rear court. Dispensary, lodging rooms for young men and class-rooms have been extemporized from old time dirty tenements. How November, 1008. take full advantage of the development. all over the island are being revived. The Ministers' Meantime the Churches meeting under the push of Turner, Messrs. Waltrip and Dodge, whom Mr. Burnham is now joining, is stimulating the pastors of all races to give their peo pie religious pabulum worth digesting. A good day has certainly dawned for Maui. Meantime the visit of Professor and Mrs. John Elhridgc Sinclair, the parents of Mrs. Dodge, will loan to that field this winter two persons of rare culture. Prof. Sinclair is just retiring after 50 years of teaching, 39 of which have been spent at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the chair of mathematics. A warm welcome goes out to these delightful friends. Editor Shiba. He spells himself Sheba in his paper, but no former resident of Japan can go this spelling concession to our wretched unscientific English orthography. Mr. Shiba is doing a splendid work for his nation and for ours in his persistent attempt to lead the two races in these Islands to know one another better. The Hawaii Shinpo, which he edits, is the Advertiser nl the Japanese. Its Sunday issue has one page in English. 1 f this were changed to Saturday or some other weekday it would reveal a closer sympathy with the genius of our people, for the best of America is not its Europeanized half. And it is not the Europe in .America that japan can appeal to for ideal justice. It must he the Xew World conscience which is after all the will-inspircr of the Nation. However this is an aside. Mr. Shiba has lately scored three notable achievements in his paper.. The first of these is his advice to his countrymen, whose children bom on .American soil are likclv to continue to live here, to educate them as Americans. I'nfortunateb' the Buddhist; of Hawaii have made their appeal to the Japanese chiefly one of patriotism and have endeavored to train un the children of their race to be ardent Nipponese owning allegiance solely to Emperor Mutsuhiti,. Naturally ibis has appealed powerfully to the unthinking rank and file who could not understand that such a course must keep their children aliens in their new land and shut them out of the sympathy of their comrades of other races here who are true hearted Americans. The Chinese have faithfully followed the opposite course and have lived to see their young people trusted citizens of this commonwealth. Editor Shiba advises his people to r/et into line with all the rest of the world that moves into America. He is right. The bonds which tic our country to innumerable fatherlands are �November, 1908, Strengthened mightily with the increase of our loyal citizens whose parents hail from oversea. Having the confidence of the Nation because of their undoubted patriotism, their hcrcdit-- of love for the lands of their fathers constitutes them a Lovers of tremendous peace- force. friendship between Japan and America can do nothing better than to counsel Hawaiian and Mainland Japanese to train their children into the most ardent Americans possible. It is for this reason that far sighted American, Chinese and Janancsc statesmen are so anxious to see all anti-Asiatic laws repealed, our conn try admit to the privilege of citizenship immigrants of all races on equal though much more rigorous terms than now prevail and our immigration laws remodeled to exclude all undesirables as well as receive onlv so far and so fast as we can well assimilate. Editor Shiba is rendering his Nation and ours a great public service in hi- advice to his countrymen. The Shimpo's Two Other Services. The Hawaii Shimpo had the wisdom to discern in the coming of Dr. De Forest, a man of whom the Janancsc community could make large use. Mainland Japanese realized this and utilized the opportunity,. ( me of the strange things about cur Island Japanese leaders is their fail* ure to take advantage of the coming hither of notable missionaries to their own country. They thus lose the chance to acquaint them With their point of view. Missionaries are great advertisers because they are forever addressing thoughtful "people in at least two nations, their own and the one in which they labor. It would pav Hawaiian Japanese to get hold of everv prominent missionary to their country as he passes through and exchange impressions with him. Mr. Shiba did this to some extent with Dr. De Forest and scored a distinct gain. The latest move of this versatile editor has been to counsel his countrymen not to press their demands for higher wages to the striking point. He is wise and his arguments are peculiarly sane. It would be far better for the Japanese leaders to stimulate their men to ask for better housing on a number of plantations and to make full use of every facility offered them for acquiring permanent homes hen- than to set them at loggerheads with their employers. Some of the plantations are offering separate houses with surrounding "lots of land to faithful men with families. In everv instance the response should be so cordial, the house so well cared for and the place so beautified that every plantation would lie forced to see the value of the experiment.

Tbe political parties have given us better men in general to vote for. The campaign is being run on cleaner lines and by splendid men who are in it for the noblest purposes and are trying to make the best of a complicated situation. Meantime the Civic Federation has issued its biennial pronouncement It is brief, clear and exactly what the ordinary voter needs who wants good government and that only. Doubtless some mistakes have been made, but the work has been honestly done. Not a few citizens still misunderstand the Federation. They fail to see that the Executive Committee is intrusted by the Federation with full jKiwer to do the work done by it at election time. The federation, as a whole, never could do it. That only a comparatively small body of men trusted by the larger organization can successfully accomplish this task, is the experience of communities thruout the Mainland from Chicago down. In Honolulu the committee is fifteen strong, reduced just now by some absentees and vacancies. These eight or nine men do not love the task. It means many patient hours and a definite aftermath of disgruntled folk who are sure to harbor a personal grudge. Hut this is a small price to pay for the ultimate end of a better governed city. The conscience of the crowd is correct in the long run and the work of the civic Federation helps the ordinary voter to mark his ticket according to his conscience. One thing is clear—the Municipal Act needs amendment. As it now stands, it conies dangerously near bidding for a Mayor who is either an incompetent or a rascal. Not that either of the three men named for the office this year belong to cither of these categories, for be it remembered that Theodore Roosevelt is an example of the good citizen who has no business but politics. Hut as a rule, the man of leisure is either a poor tram]) or a rich parasite. .And it is dangerous to run such a risk of having our city's chief executive drum for either class as is forced upon us by our Municipal Act. By all means let it be amended. Honolulu ought to have the privilege of choosing its ablest man of affairs as its Mayor if it can induce him to serve. Make the office honorable and not a sop to the lazy. nor a comfortable berth for an out-ofwork. Then the best men will not refuse it. There was a time when the humblest offices in New England towns were filled by the busiest men of the best traditions and education, proud to serve the people. Honolulu has the stuff to repeat the experiment —"Chief of all, servant of all." ters more beautiful November, THE FRIEND 1908 There are sure Signs of a revival of this spirit.

That is rood. Let us have more expressions of appreciation. 1'ut let us back them up with a demand that the laws which deal with these offences shall be enforced. Certainly it requires no great skill or heroism to enforce the law against those who are guilty of immoral exposure of the body. Such exhibitions of indecency as the Sparrow Dance belong in a class with the bath-house disgrace and the needed reform in clothing. Let a few offenders be made an example of and reform would be immediate. And as for the fake curers. the seizure of a few of them and a dose of section 1077 of the laws of Hawaii to the tune of $200 line or six months imprisonment at hard labor, would be a practical method of giving our sympathy and support to .ur public spirited Japanese editors. F. S. S. BEGGARLY TACTICS. For many years an excellent private school has been maintained by Mr. S. Sokabe in Honomu. Both i" the grade of work done and in the excellent character of its teachers this school has ful- filled every reasonable requirement for educating the Japanese children of Honomu in the use of their own language. But merely because it was a flourishing institution under Christian management, the Buddhists, in jealousy, sought to cripple it by starting an opposition school directly across the street. As these scholars had been receiving tuition free, the Buddhists had to offer equally good terms, and in order to support the school they had to resort to levying a tax of fifteen cents on each Japanese in the vicinity. A dignitary of the faith makes his monthly circuit from house to house, to make sure that none arc exempted from paying their fifteen cents. We wonder if this is what is meant by "turning back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments?" Would Do it Again.—The Japanese succeeded in raising not only enough to pay the traveling expense of Rev. T. Miyagavva, but also a surplus so that they were enabled to make him a present of $50.00.

What shall be the nature of the historical exhibit of Hawaii at the Alaska-Yukon-I'acific Exposition at Seattle in This is a pertinent question in view of a recent request made by the Cnited States Government Hoard of Managers of the Exposition. Writes Mr. W. dc C Ravenel of the Smithsonian Institute: "The exhibit is to include the showing of the part played by religion in the history and development of these regions (viz.: the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands). As the missionaries of the American Hoard of Commissioners for Foreign Missions were the bathers of the Christian Church in Hawaii and the founders of its civilization, it is proposed to make the work of these missionaries a special feature of the exhibit of religions in the Hawaiian Islands." Mr. Ravenel has accordingly asked the American Hoard for "such objects in its possession as would illustrate the planting and development of Christianity in the Hawaiian [stands, Such objects are. for instance, documents (original or facsimiles) relating to the establishing of Churches and other re ligious institutions; models and photographs of Church buildings, schools, etc.. which are under Church control; prints or photographs <»f the missionaries past ami present Church registers (originals or copies); devotional literature and religious literature, printed and used in the islands. Pot the sake of contrast it is also desired to show the pre-Christian pagan rites and practices of the natives of the islands. It would be greatly appreciated if a loan could be secured of relics of the heathen times,—-models and photographs of temples, shrines and altars: idols and other objects con meted with worship and magic; outfit of i priest and sorcerer, etc." Now the Question arises: Is this the kind of exhibit that will be <>f advantage to Hawaii? Naturally scientific men would wish an exhibit as complete! v representative as possible of all statrcs in the evolution of Hawaii out of barbarism into twentieth century civilization. But a trreat popular exposition is an arena for advertising the advantages that have been achieved rather than the disadvantages and crudities that have been abandoned. ; There are misconceptions enough abroad about Hawaii already. We ought not to add to them by giving the cursory visitor at Seattle the impression that Hawaii is still benighted. That impression is sure to be conveyed when pictures or objects harking back seventy-live years are brought to the front. The glory of Hawaii is that it is abreast of the age. People do not know this away from here. We are faciig the same modern problems in the same modern conditions that arc testing the rest of the world. And the ideal exhibit would be one that would show what has been wrought in the span of a single human life in actual constructive development. We can make a splendid showing at Seattle of what we are now in our educational and religious development.

Six young men, the first fruits of Mr. Kotani I labors, made open confess'ou of their faith and were baptized. One night, after dismissing his llihle class and retirng, Mr. Kotani was roused by a knock at the door. Two voting men of the class he had been leaching for a year, had come back to confess their faith. Others soon followed and of this class six have been under special instruction, and now form the basis of what we hope will become the Japanese Church of Koloa. The rite of baptism and the celebration of the Lord's Supper are strange cents in that camp and it required no little courage in this band of young men to be gazed at through the windows by the curious crowd, but we were deeply impressed by the fact that in this p'ace where, a year ago, the preaching of the gospel met with mud: opposition, there was not the least disturbance nor voice of jeering to mar the impressive ceremony.

Waimea is certainly deserving of congratulataion for what she lias accomplished in this line. Strengthening the Stakes. The art of holding what has been gained is no less important than skill in getting. Realizing this, the Japanese have sought to strengthen the faith of the large number of new converts by a series of special meetings for instruction which have "been held every Thursday and Friday evening during the month of �November, 1908, October. Each meeting was addressed by two persons, one a Japanese and the other an American. Subjects were assigned to the speakers in such a way as to secure a systematic presentation of the great themes of religion,—God, Sin, Redemption. The Savior, The Present Life and The Life to Come. A beautiful spirit of unanimity has prevailed throughout these meetings, denominationalism being lost sight of and each Church and Mission in the city being p«ed in its turn as a place of meeting. A Felt Loss. The departure of Rev. D. W. Crane for the Coast has called forth expressions of regret from every quarter. Fewpeople have such a gift in winning the hearts of all classes of people as do Mr. and Mrs. Crane. While earnestly devoted to the welfare of the Methodist Church Mr. Crane's large hearted liberality led him to cooperate no less earnestly with others in every good cause. KeenIv alive to the welfare of the community, a valued member of several organizations, and a friend of everybody, his departure from Honolulu will be felt as a public loss and as a personal disappointment to a host of friends. We hope that the health of Mrs. Crane, which was the cause of his leaving us, may soon he restored. Mr. Shiro Sokabe of the Japanese Christian Hoarding School of Hono"A GOOD SAMARITAN." The following letter from the Hon. Gorham D.

The meetings on Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th were in the interests of the Christian F.ndeavnr Society and were attended by the advance guard that came over in the "Mika- hala" to Pukoo on Thursday. Saturday the tgth was devoted to the Sunday School Association and the hours were spent chiellv in reading reports and transacting business of a routine nature. The "Mikahala" brought over from I.ahaina on Saturday afternoon quite a number of delegates to the convention, amor ■ them beinp the Rev. M. K. \a kuina and Superintendent Judd, who had just returned from the Hawaii Association meeting in Ritna. A large crowd met them at the Pttkoo wharf and soon they were made comfortable in various homes of the community. In the evening a popular concert was given in the large Church and a crowd of over 700 was present to enjoy the music. The platform was prettily decorated with potted cocoanuts nalms and other greens and strings of lanterns furnished the light.

Schools were urged to exceed other schools in the amount of their gifts and this friendly rivalry resulted in increased giving. The total collection, which was for the expenses of the Association meeting, amounted to $115, a generous sum considering the large sum of over $150 realized the night previous. After the collection, Superintendent |udd gave a short address on "Bible Study/ urging the importance for each one to study the Bible every day. In the short time alloted for a speech, only one subject could be emphasized and Mr. Judd regarded the subject of daily Bible study as an especially important one to be presented before such gatherings as the Maui Association. Mr. Xakuina acted as interpreter for Mr. Judd as well as for the other haole ministers during the Association meetings. The fifth school to appear on the was the local one of Kaluaaha. The large number of children sang well and showed splendid training by Mrs. Anahu. The verses by the older ones and younger ones as well were given in excellent form. The last Sunday School to appear was the Halavva School, numbering about thirty, men, women and children, the majority of whom had walked over from the beautiful valley— twelve miles away. The children, led by Mr. Solomon Fuller, sang in English but recited in Hawaiian and did well, though the rfirrg program began to weary many of the audience at this point. Before the exercises were over, the Rev. Isaac D. laea, pastor of the Kaluaaha Church, advanced to the platform carrying a beautiful Bible and a handsomely bound copy of "Hoku Ao Xani" and "Leo Hoonani," combined. He announced that these books and the sum of $50 in gold coin were a gift to the Church from Judge E. P. Aikue, district magistrate of Koolaupoko, Oahu. Mr. Aikue and his wife were present in the audience, having come up to Molokai for the meetings and that the venerable judge might also revisit the scenes of his boyhood days, being a kamaaina of Molokai. The generous gift of Mr. Aikue was much appreciated by the Association and others present, who spoke to one another afterwards of the great aloha of this son of the Kaluaaha Church for the institution that nurtured his youth in Christian faith and love.

There seemed to be much life and interest in all the discussions and the various devotional services were conducted with a most helpful spirit. The singing at all times was a noteworthy feature. Rarely have hymns been better sung at any gathering of Hawaiians. Rev. J. A. Akina, pastor of the Church at Waimea, presided at the sessions of the S. S. Association. Friday afternoon Mr. Akina called on Mr. Judd to say a few words to the Association. After a word or two of greeting Mr. Judd spoke of the greatest need of the Hawaiian Sunday Schools—better teachers. The need of a hand-book on "Biblical Introduction" in the Hawaiian language was spoken of and many of the Sunday School workers present said later that such a book would be most useful. Various matters of a routine character occupied the rest of the Sunday School daily Bible study and in closing brought the greetings and best wishes of the S. S. Association of the Territory. Mr. Oleson then spoke of the Sunday School as a place for the correction of error, the teaching of the truths and the application of the truth. He made some very useful suggestions in regard to memorizing verses, the value of studying the geography of Palestine and other matters. The Church was filled with a large and attentive audience. Monday morning the business sessions were held until about 10:30 o'clock when a recess of several hours was held, during which many of the delegates drove in carriages to the famous barking sands of Mana. Returning to Waimea in the latter part of the afternoon the concluding sessions of the Association and the S. S. Association were held. Early Tuesday morning the C. E. held its final meeting and the delegates then scattered to various parts of the island to gather again at Waimea in the latter part of April. hours. Saturday night the popular concert in Waimea Hall was a most successful affair, the room being crowded and the program well rendered. About $140 was realized from the sale of tickets and this amount went towards the expenses of the Association meeting. The Hoike. Sunday morning the Church was filled to overflowing with the crowd that came to take part in the hoike and to witness the interesting exercises. There were songs and recitations by the Sunday Schools of Waimea, Kekaha, Mana, Hanapepe, Koloa and Lihue, also by government officials—judges, deputy sheriffs, etc.—by delegates to the Association and by a group of men called "na malihini." It would take too much time to mention special features in the long program which lasted three hours. It is sufficient to say that the exercises were most interesting and in many instances showed careful training. A collection, amounting to $41, was taken up. In the evening there was a C. E. prayer-meeting, after which the S. S. Association held a service in honor of the World's Sunday School Sunday. Hon. W. H. Rice of Lihue, president of the Hawaiian Sunday School Association, presided. The two speakers were Mr. Judd and Mr. Oleson. The former spoke of the work of the Hawaiian S. S. Association —its place in the work of the Kingdom of Heaven in its bringing men to know Christ and in building them up in Christian life and character and, secondly, the part we should play in the work of the Association. Mr. Judd made a plea for November, 1908, THE FRIEND TYPICAL MOLOKAI SCENE THE OAHU ASSOCIATION MEETING, KAUMAKAPILI CHURCH, HONOLULU, OCT. 9-10, 1908. The autumn meeting of the Oahu Association was held in the Kaumakapili Church on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10. For various reasons the sessions were shorter than those of the Hawaii, Maui and Kauai Associations and less interesting to an observer, being devoid of the features of the concert and hoike, so prominent on the other islands. The business sessions were conducted with such dispatch that the final session was on Saturday evening. As usual, the Sunday School Association was given several hours, most of which was used in the presenting of reports, statistical and otherwise, and the transaction of routine business. Mr. J. K. Paele of Waikane presided at the meetings of the Sunday School Association. Saturday morning he in- troduced Superintendent Judd to the audience and asked him to tell something of his work. Mr. Judd's remarks were translated into Hawaiian by Rev. O. If. GuHck. He Spoke of his recent experiences at the meetings of the Hawaii and Maui Associations and his travels on Oahu, visiting the Sunday Schtxds. Then he took up the topic assigned him, "Pushing Tor- ward Our Sunday Schools," and spoke of the needs of the Sunday Schools and how every one could assist in the matter of attendance and attention. Interest in the class can be increased by preparation of the lesson beforehand and by the resolve to give something during the halfhour of study. Apart from this address there was no other along Sunday School lines. During the two days there were adtlresses by Dr. Scudder, Rev. J. P. Erdman, Rev. F. S. Scudder and Rev. M. K. Xakuina, bearing upon various topics of interest to the Association. The sessions proved to be helpful to the delegates, even though less dramatic and less interesting in many ways. The spring meeting of the Oahu Association will be held at Waikane April 9-11, 1909. Indications Which Indicate. The following indications of interest are gathered from the field through our correspondence and from our statistical reports: About 20,000 Primary Departments report separate rooms. About two hundred more banner counties are reported than we had at Toronto. Our 9,258 Teachers' Meetings is an advance of about 1,200 over former reports. Ontario, Oklahoma and Kentucky lead the rest' of the field in House Visitation. The little Island of St. Kitts in the West Indies has ordered one hundred Teacher Training books. The inauguration for the first time of the Intermediate Department, which is making fine headway. A phenomenal three years' work in Mexico is attended by results most gratifying to the local committee. The centralization of cur offices in the City of Chicago was made a necessity by our growth. One of the signs of the times. Association papers have been started during the past three years by Wisconsin, Louisiana, Ontario, Virginia, Oregon and Hawaii. The total Sundav School enrollment of North America is nearly 1,000,000 lareer than it was three years ago. �November, THE FRIEND 1908 17 and the large portion of his all too meager month's salary, to place that petition before them. The application was refused. 'The Liquor Commissioners of Maui are an upright, fair-minded set of men. They prove the wisdom of the present liquor law and are an honor to Governor Frear. These Commissioners are Messrs. J. N. S. Williams, D. C. Lindsay, H. A. Baldwin, C. D. Lufkin and George Copp. At a meeting of the Maui Ministers' Association held at the Makawao Foreign Church the same day the Commissioners killed the Pukoo saloon application, the story of Mr. laea's heroism was told, and inside of five minutes a purse of $10 was raised, and a letter of congratulations to be sent him was signed by every member present. Our Maui ministers know a good thing when they see it. E. B. T. Temperance Issues REV. W. D. WESTERVELT. A TEMPERANCE HERO. Any one who was privileged to attend the semi-annual Maui Association meeting, held at I'ukoo, Molokai, last month, will not soon forget the memorable gathering of eight hundred people at the Sunday services held in the old historic Kaluaaha Church. This second largest Church in the islands was built by Father Hitchcock, and stands near the Molokai shore, looking out upon Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe as a monument to his memory. Rut for many long years this old Church has been almost deserted. It has had no minister for some time and the old stone building is in sad need of repair. About six months ago the Rev. Isaac D. Iaea was transferred from Maui to become pastor of Kaluaaha Church. At "once the long neglected Church began to revive and to take on new life both with added numbers and with a deeper and more earnest spirit. For four months there has been no saloon at Pukoo, nor on the eastern end of the island. The only saloon on Molokai is at Kaunakakai. At the time of the conference, when eight hundred of the thousand inhabitants outside of the Leper Settlement were in the old Church and about its grounds, it was remarked by many that it was a most orderly crowd, there being not a single case of drunkenness. Many said that this happystate of affairs could never have existed if Pukoo had had a saloon, Sabbath day or not, nor if the convention had been held at the drinking village of Kaunakakai, fifteen miles down the beach. About a month ago a Chinese storekeeper at Pukoo made application for a saloon license. We knew it was time to get busy. The only thing that could keep the saloon out of Pukoo would be a vigorous protest signed by a large number of Molokai people. Mr. Iaea was the man to work the petition and he worked it, for all there was in it. The life of his Church depended upon killing that application. He knew it. What matter it, if the wife of the applicant was a member of his Church; if there was so much apathy that no one cared to make a move. Backed by a few earnest opponents of the liquor traffic on Molokai and by some chronic objectors to Demon Drink on Maui, Mr. Iaea rode from one end of Molokai to the other securing names protesting against the Pukoo saloon. And he got the names of the influential people of the island. One of the managers of the Molokai Ranch recently told the writer that they did not like their natives going down to Kaunakakai, or to Pukoo, when they had the saloon there, as they were always drinking and gambling there, and the influence was anything but good. It can be said of the management of this ranch, which controls 90,000 acres of land, that it sanctions no drinking among its men. It was not to be wondered at that this manager's name was on the petition. But so was the name of the County supervisor, of the deputy sheriff, of the district magistrate and of seventy others of the best people of the island. There was no doubt what Local Option would do on Molokai. Mr. laea had only two or three days SHORT EXTRACTS FROM MISS to do his work and he had from Halawa LUCIA LYON'S LETTERS. to Kalaupapa to cover, forty miles or more, and many people to see, and per- (Continued from Fkiknd of Oct., 1908.) haps some converts to win.

Yesterday when Mrs. Stanley anil I were out walking, we saw one field of wheat which was realIv very line-looking. 'There is such a difference in the soil, and then some can afford to use so much more fertilizer. 'The soil is usually good here and crops would be much better if the Chinese realized the importance of deep plowing and of selecting seetl. In this pari of the country there arc places where irrigation would do everything. What is now simply a sandy waste would produce line crops. 'There are so many tracts which are former beds of the Yellow River ; it has certainly been an arratic stream and left its traces all over the province. A WEDDING, July 10. 'Tuesday morning, quite a cavalcade of us started for the wedding. As there were so many who wished to go I ordered the chair, and although I started at the tail end of the procession I soon overtook all the rest of it. Out by the boys' school Wu Mu Shih and Chang Hsien Sheng were just getting into their cart, and the younger teachers and students, who were friends of the bridegroom, were straggling ahead along the road, carrying umbrellas or wearing big hats to keep the sun off. They looked very funny. Still farther ahead was the other cart with two young women, Sim Li and Shu Lull, and two older ones. When 1 was about a mile from the village I heard the music that accompanied the bride's chair, off to the west. The November, FRIEND There were so many men and hoys in that I did not urge them to take it off, though I was a little surprised when they left it on all through the cere- I he court mony. We sang the usual songs with the ad- dition of a song about the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom, which Wu Mil Shih seemed to think appropriate to the occasion, .After the ceremony they led the bride into lier room and her mother-in-law promptly put a lunch across the door and would not let any one in except the friends.. 'The room was certainly full enough as il was. and they had pasted up all but a crack in the smallest of the windows. 'The bride would not say anything for quite a while. but after her own family got there she got over her shyness and was her natural self, except that she talked in such a very low tone that you could hardly hear. We were sitting immediately outside the door when her husband went in to look at her and the food, and his little sister listened to hear what he would say. She reported that he said. "< >h, this is good," and at some. I said his little sister, but she is about sixteen, 1 suppose. She is like a sweet and pretty child and could hardly tear herself away from her new sister. I realize at this point that I have not said whose wedding this was, hut you 1908 all sat around and talked quite like a big family.

For nearly a third of a century Dr. Bingham has been one of Hawaii's most distinguished citizens. His tall, erect, commanding figure, his splendid face, his simple upright character, unbending loyalty to conviction, Puritan type of disposition and quiet useful life have been an inspiration to all the people of the Territory. The Islands were proud of a man who had done what no other person in history had accomplished anil delighted to witness the honor paid to him by visiting scholars and well informed travelers who uniformly wished to come into personal touch with one who had done so unique a service to his fellows. t 4 4 4 4 4 200.00 Details. 10.00 Rev.

Their station in the (iilherts was Apaiang, a low coral island only a few feet above the sea.

The fact that alPsl ■ CAMP IMPROVEMENT. One of the problems which ought to claim the serious attention of the people of the islands is the social and moral condition of the large foreign (dement living in the camps. W'c often bear it said that no punishment to the wicked could be more fearful than just to leave them to them- selves, to work out their self-destruction iv a community without the restraints of law or the presence of selfrespecting citizens; and while there is no community on earth which is quite so Cod-forsaken as that, we know of no place on earth which more nearly approaches this condition than the camps on these islands unless it be in the shuns of London or of some of our American cities. From a business as well as a moral point of view it is a crying evil. It is a problem to which the plantation managers have given much study, and for the solution of which they have spent both time and money, only to meet with results so discouraging as to make it appear questionable whether it is not a hope- less case. Difficulties. Speaking of the Japanese alone the problems of camp improvement are simply enormous. There is no people whose customs differ more from ours. The original meaning of morals was customs or manners, and a change in manners and customs is a tremendous wrench to the mora! nature. Here the Japanese often cast off their own manners and social customs, and fail to acquire either the form or spirit of those which are native to the West. To speak of the deterioration resulting from this cause alone would fill a page. Self-respect is tossed to the winds; sons of respectable Japanese families have come here and sunk themselves in these holes never to be heard from again in the homes of parents and friends; and self-respecting parents in the camps grieve to see their children being hopelessly drawn into the criminal classes. Professional gamblers and other bad characters make their round:', of the islands, appealing to the craving for excitement and self-indulgence, and the whole catalogue of debasing influences depicted in the first chapter days of contract labor, improvements have been made in ready, since the great the camps, and many people have been encouraged into making neat little homes for themselves: the fact also that there .are now many families with 7 A First Step. To attempt too much at first would be discouraging, and we therefore set before ourselves a very insignificant task, but one which we hope will lead to larger things. An India missionary Mini' said, "We give the school children a good bath and comb their hair, and send them home clean and neat, and the parents arc surprised at the sudden transformation wrought by Christianity. After that we do not let them into the school until they are clean." It is along this line that we children, and that recent legislation has had a tendency to discourage the roaming habits of the Japanese,—these would like to see Christianity flourish and many other facts are like a rain- in the campa, The Japanese are naturally a cleanly people, and it is to bow over the present dark realities. their native pride in cleanliness that we wish to make our first appeal, tryA Social Problem. ing arouse them to observe a custom We believe that this is more than a thattoprevails in their native land, of plantation problem, and that the citisweeping the ground around their daily zens of Hawaii have no right to throw bouse and keeping it clear of every off the responsibility of it upon the to this \vc would plantation managers.

Some time ago a Idler was sent to a number of the plantation managers indicating our desire to work for the betterment of social conditions among .he Japanese, and mentioning certain ways in which we would like to have our Japanese evangelists exert themselves toward this end. With remarkable unanimity the managers endorsed the plan, some of them speaking of the efforts they had made in the same direction, and welcoming the coopera- How You Can Help. We want to secure from friends illustrated papers, beautiful Christmas or Paster cards and calendars that have once done duty and arc too pretty to throw away. If such pictures are available, many a family in the camps may be induced to buy a few cents worth of colored cardboard as a mounting for pictures, with which a few minutes' work will enable them to make some very creditable ornaments for their lionies. If once a little friendly rivalry in home-making can be aroused among the people, not only will it tend, by producing greater contentment with tion of those who in their work could their surroundings, to lessen the bring to bear moral and religious mo- vagrancy of the laborers, but its appeal tives in addition to the business and to their self-respect can not fail to dishumane considerations which had ac- tinctly raise the moral tone of the tuated them in their efforts. camp.

Sometimes Christian effort seems to be as a child carries home a pitcher of milk for which the precious hoard of pennies in the washerwoman's tea-cup has been expended—she goes racing down the street after the other children, slopping the milk to the right and left, whitening the pavement with the precious nourishment meant for hungry babies. Our endeavors seem fruitless ; our meetings resultless. lint we must make the distinction between that which only seems to be wasted, and is really put to its highest use. and that which is foolishly or criminally wasted. The scientist tells us there is no such thing as absolute waste. Matter changes form, but it is never destroyed. If your' home burns and you have no insurance, the newspapers would report it as a total loss. As a home, it may be a total loss to you: but there is no less matter in the universe because of the fire. The wood has simply been changed into ashes, and gases, and heat. In the great scheme of the universe, there has been no waste. So prayers cannot be wasted. Testimonies are never thrown away. Pledgekeeping is never fruitless. A great deal of money was poured into China in missionary effort. Then came the Roxer uprising, and all this money, and many precious lives that were sacrificed, seem to have been wasted. But a little time has proven that judgment to have been a hasty one. Missionary work in China received a new impetus from the sacrifices and heroism of the martyrs. A life that was yielded up in an instant to the fury of the mob. seems to have accomplished as much as ten lives spent toilsomely in decades of patient, uneventful labor. There was no waste; there has been actual economy of forces, cold-blooded as it may seem to put it in that way. Independently of any accelerated progress in missionary work in China, the treasure and blood were not lost, any more than the lives sacrificed in the defense of Runker Hill were wasted.

Both he and his wife are gathering the young people into Bible classes in the Sunday School Large possibilities lie ahead also in the development of social settlement work for men and boys from Hale Aloha as a center. Mr. Burnham will also be able to serve the Roard in looking after Church and mission interests on that side of Maui. Hi' has had a most cordial welcome by the community, and we look for ward to some fine results from this cooperative ministry. One of the most gratifying features of this new movement to meet modern conditions with modern methods in the identical Churches which the missionary fathers established, has been the ready response of generous givers.

Bible was once more coming into the vital life of the people What is the Home Department/ The Home Department as the name implies, is systematic Bible Study in the I lonic. It is that department of the Sunday School which aims to bring into its membership, by means of the lesson study in the home, every member in the home. There is no longer any excuse for any one to say, "Everybody belongs to Sunday School but Father." Now father may belong, even though he does not go. He may belong to the Home Department and be enrolled as a member of the main school, and enjoy all of the privileges thereof.

The Home Department comforts many "shut ins," as well as inspires and helps the "shut outs." People like to be "counted in"—especially those who are compelled to be counted out from so many of the pleasures of life. This plan is admirably adapted to reach all such. Nearly every church and Community can count the more unfortunate oiks by the dozen. It is a great field for service. 5. It wins many to Christ. There is no better evangelizing agency than the Home Department. It goes after every one. The indifferent, the hardened and the neglected are sought. It is a great means of reaching the' foreigners of our cities. Today the Sunday School Lesson Quarterlies are published in (iernian, French, Spanish, Bohemian, Italian, Swedish and Hawaiian. A) least the "llioaloha" has the Sunday School lesson with elaborate notes every month. The amount of good to be accomplished through this method is incalculable. How to Organize. 1. Have the pastor preach a sermon upon the importance of Bible Study and upon the practicability of the Home Department plan, 2. Choose a Superintendent. This ought to he one who has seen the "vision Splendid" and who can and will give much time to the development of the work. 3. Appoint Visitors — persons well adapted to go into the home on the King's business, and who will be responsible, each one, for about twenty members. Their duties will be to distribute the quarteries and envelopes, make calls and enroll new members. Where it is practical—and it is nearly everywhere—the hoys of the church ought to Ik- enrolled as Messengers and the girls as The Sunshine Rand, taking cheer and comfort in many ways, to the members of the I lonic Department.

Every child demands special consideration. We have suffered in every wav, socially, politically, and most certainly religiously, by the habit of imagining that we can deal with children in crowds, and treat them all the same way. It cannot be done. For the teaching of certain things which they must know, it is necessary; but when yon arc going to train a child it is a matter of education rather than instruction. There is all the difference in the world between instructing and educating. To instruct is to build in; to educate is to draw out. Training must be twofold. It must, lirst of all, be |Misitive. The children must be taught that they belong to Christ, and led to the point of recognizing this laet and yielding themselves thereto. In the second place the children must be taught that sin is their enemy and there tore (iod's enemy, and it is therefore to be idmdii perpetually. Our lirst business is to bring the child into a recognition of its actual relationship to Christ, and a personal yielding thereto. Lei it be done easily and naturally. Do not lie anxious that your child should pass through any volcanic experience, but as soon as possible the little one should he able to say, "Yes, I love Jesus, and I will be His." It should be as simple as the kiss of the morning upon the brow of the hill, as the distilling of moisture in the dew. Xow we must notice that it is only upon the fulfilment of the conditions enunciated that we have any right to expect a fulfilment of the promise made. We have no business to expect that our child will fulfil the true purpose of life if we neglect the training of the early days. It may be asserted that the untrained must go wrong. Not necessarily. You may neglect your child, and some godly Sunday-school teacher may do the work you have neglected. ()r it may be said that the wrongly trained must go wrong. \'ot necessarily. It is not alvvav There are children wrongly trained at home who vet at last have found life and its great fulfilment. People sometimes who have been very careless about training their children in godliness, who thought of all things except the supremely needful tilings, w hen their children are taken from them, speak of the hope that they will meet them when they cross the border line. Yes, perchance, but your child, if you fed, clothed and educated it. and neglected its relation to God, will be more eager to meet the Sunday School teacher who led it to Cod than to meet you. Spiritual relationships are the final relationships. With such an ideal, and such a training and such a promise, the only fear we �THE FRIEND, 16 need have about our children is fear con- It is, true thai there have been gnat failures. Why? Children from Christian homes sometimes turn out ill because of the laxity which imagines that a child's happiness consists in self-pleasing, and in having its own will. Then- is all the difference between letting a child have its own will and training it in its own way. To train a child in its own wav crosses the will cerning ourselves. sometimes. This, however, must never hi 1 done with passion. I'assion burns to destruction. Reason tires to construction.

K. Kalihi Settlement. The formal opening and dedication of the roomy, tasteful, well located and most convenient chapel and settlement headquarters on King street, near the junction of Kamehameha IV Road was held on the evening of January 3. This promising enterprise bids fair to become a vigorous self-supporting church before long. Having behind it the combined strength of both the Hawaiian Board and Central Union Church, and being already intrenched in the affection of the people of that section of town we look for largt. growth. Rev. Horace W. Chamberlain, the leader, took up the work in connection with our old established Kalihi and Moanalua Church some years ago and has been very successful. It soon became evident that the center for growth was south and west of the Hawaiian Church building. Fortunately the Board owned a lot presented by Mr. P. C. Jones at th< point of largest vantage. Mr. Chamber lain set about securing funds, met with generous encouragement and the result is the present building. There are ample accommodations for boys' and girls' clubs, a large hall suitable for basket ball and gymnastic exercises, rooms fori No. i lockers, baths, etc. A play ground is available not far off. Between thirty and forty persons will be received into church membership at the new center and form the nucleus of a vigorous church. Central Union people will be called upon to help out with teachers and other workers. The soldiers at Fort Shafter will be made welcome in many ways. Mr. Chamberlain is very enthusiastic and the prospects for the new work are most encouraging. Ecclesia&ticallv the enterprise will be a branch of Central Union Church, the whole energy of which will be behind it. The Camp Nuisance. To have a huge, rough building, crowded with tiny rooms and destined for a mass of humanity regardless of the sanctities of the Christian family dumped down next to one's home is an outrage. It is, however, no less an outrage to have such a menace to society placed anywhere in the Territory. While we sympathize with the efforts made by residents of Makiki to keep out tenements, we believe the agitation to be on entirely too narrow lines. There is no reason why such tenements should be suffered to threaten the purity of the home anywhere in the city. The sugar plantations have been taught the salutary lesson that if they would have contented effective laborers they must encourage home life among them. Already some plantations have begun to put a premium upon stable, happy families by promising to set married people in cottages upon little plots of land which can be beautified and made homelike. This is wise strategy. Honolulu ought to have drastic anti-slum legislation and its men of wealth would do well to emulate the example of Buffalo with its many miles of tasteful workingmen's cotages. It would not require too much capital to secure a large tract of land with rapid transit facilities and erect thereon little houses suitable for the families of workingmen, at the same time that legislation limiting the erection of menacing tenements be enacted. It is well to begin the crusade by passing laws which will stand the test of the courts to help Makiki out of its dilemma. Such once secured the good work can be pushed into other sections of the town until all be covered. �4 The Cost of Strategy. None of us can picture the changes that the transformation of Oahu into a Malta is bound to effect. Some faint suggestion thereof is borne in upon the mind when one visits Wahiawa and contemplates the little city which is being laid out on the sloping upland of Lcilehua. It is reported that the plans contemplate the erection of three hundred buildings of reinforced concrete to accommodate a force of 4,000 men. What this will mean to Wahiawa it is hard to calculate. Many acres now devoted to pineapples will of necessity be given over to market gardens. Modest fortunes will be made by a few able to foresee and meet this demand, for the day of fast trains and low freights between Wahiawa and Honolulu will soon be upon us. It is quite conceivable that a rival residential center will cover that beautiful plateau, lour thousand soldiers will demand a large colony to minister to them. The wonderful salubrity of the Wahiawa climate will tempt residents in ever enlarging numbers. All these conditions will react upon one another increasing the attractiveness of the region. Problems of rapid transit will come to the front. It is conceivable that population will seek the foothills, necessitating a development of suburbs back of the line of railway between Honolulu and Wahiawa. From being a provincial town Honolulu will then grow into a real metropolis with varied problems and a far more complex life. Our municipal act, however, will tend to maintain a solidarity of interests that will impress a distinctive character upon the growing community. Pearl City may become somewhat more of a geographical center between the Honolulu and Wahiawa ends of the more densely populated portion of the scattered municipality. Altogether the prospect is one of very deep interest, but just how the development will come no one would be bold enough to attempt to forecast. Chamber of Commerce Resolutions. No more important action for Hawaii has been taken in a long time than that by the Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Messrs. W. R. Castle, B. F. Dillingham, G. R. Gait, F. J. Lowrey and others on December 9 with reference to This the Coastwise Shipping Laws. body of men being closely connected with American shipping interests could hardly have been expected to take as independent a stand upon this question as is required by the interests of the mass of the people of the Territory. It speaks flumes for their high mindedness and unselfish devotion to the public weal therefore that the members turned a deaf ear to the pleadings THE FRIEND. of those of their number who represented the shipping interests and passed the set of resolutions calling upon Congress to relieve the passenger situation here by granting the right of freedom of travel. The Territory owes a debt of gratitude to the public spirit of the men who engineered this action. The resolutions do not -urge the abstract right involved in this question of transportation nor do they touch upon the matter of freight, but modestly request relief from the intolerable passenger-traffic burdens now imoosed upon the people of Hawaii. J*s (5* Jr* J* \tW *!*• The Justice Of It. It is difficult to see how any fairminded American can reconcile the statement of the Declaration of Independence, '"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," with the denial by Congress to the people of Hawaii of free travel and transportation of goods. If these Islands were a part of the mainland so that movement of himself and his goods by himself were not rendered impossible to every man, the question would wear a totally different face. By our very isolation and because of the nature of sea travel we are dependent upon great transportation companies. In this era of combination it is inevitable that these will unite to impose unjust charges in the case of Islands so small and so distant if they are guaranteed all the trade by the Nation. That is the situation today. Congress has lxnmd us hand and foot and has delivered the monopoly of exploiting the trade of these Islands to a few companies strong enough to maintain lines of steamers. Every one knows that freight and passenger rates to Hawaii are above the point of justice. The Coastwise Shipping Laws by their very name show that they were not meant to apply to transoceanic trade. They are an infringement upon our liberty, to say nothing of their restriction upon our pursuit of happiness. It is perfectly safe to affirm that if every resident of the United States could live in Hawaii for a short time and experience the galling sensation of being denied the right to return to the mainland when the necessities of business or of home affection or of the health of his family demanded immediate passage in a foreign ship, the onrt vessel scheduled to sail for a week or ten days, he would demand in the name of fair play the total exemption of Hawaii from "the passenger provisions of the Coastwise Shipping Laws. If lured here by promotion literature he wished to market his produce, he would speedily instruct his Congressman to fight for corresponding January, 1909. freight exemption. The people ol the United States are very sensitive to an appeal for justice. If we can only get our case presented to them, there is no question what the decision will be. WHICH SHALL IT BE? Recently a discussion was started among a company of Honolulans concerning leprosy in this Territory. At a large public meeting in one of the city churches, not long before, the speaker, fully conversant with the leprosaria of the world, presented dark figures as to the prevalence of the disease here, showing that if the proportion that pertains in Hawaii were the same in India there would be ten times as many le|x?rs there as now are found. More recently it has been stated that the policy of segregation as practiced in Hawaii is not lessening the scourge as scientific segregation is doing elsewhere. The main cause for this is the fact that leprosy among the I lawaiians does not evoke the horror with which it has been associated from time immemorial thruout A.sia, the chief habitat of the disease. It is very singular that the Bible which has had such a powerful influence among the Islanders during the last 60 years has failed entirely to imbue the Hawaiian ])cople with its conception of the loathsomeness of leprosy. The natives seem incapable of regarding the disease with disgust or fear. It seems almost a case of the deadly snake charming his victim. Years of warning against contact with the infected have had apparently no influence. If the Hawaiians were left perfectly free to act out their will, some of those best acquainted with them think there would soon be an end of the settlement on Molokai and unless immunity were established the race would quickly succumb. It is certainly one of the most remarkable phenomena in human history. This absence of fear and loathing for the malady has given the sentiment of pity for the diseased, who are compelled to leave home and be segregated for life, the opportunity to assert itself with such strange power, that Hawaiians not only do not report cases of leprosy but actually conceal them. They have even resorted to force to prevent segregation. Consequently, as is well known, there are not a few cases of leprosy which the authorities fail to discover. The policy of segregation is therefore only a part policy. Being such it cannot be expected that the scourge will be speedily lessened, to say nothing of its being stamped out. Yet it is very widely known and admitted throughout the Islands that life in the leper settlement is made as happy as possible for the sick folk congregated there. In not a few cases where a mis- �January, 1909. taken diagnosis lias been made and patients sent to Kalaupapa have been given permission to return home, it is said that they have been unwilling to leave the settlement Hawaii's official treatment ~i leprosy in her segregation center has formed one of the notable chapters in the story of man's kindness to man. We have reason to be proud of the noblest leprosarium in the world. But we have failed not because of this kindness, but because segregation-has not been rigidly maintained. Will matters ever improve? The Wallach incident gives no hint of a possibility of better things as long as the conduct of affairs here remains in the hands of the people of the Territory unless a change of heart unexpectedly supervene. Just at this point we meet the vital factor in the whole discussion—no part of this earth exists for itself alone, least of all Hawaii. The world is one, and the world is at our doors. The United States will soon have several thousands of her voting men domiciled here as soldiers. Can the Nation afford to expose these men to infection and then complacently view the possibility of their carrying that infection thruout the States and Territories from which they come? The Panama canal will soon be dug and the sliipsof the world will rendezvous in our harbors. Will the world regard kindly 1 lawaiian tolerance of leprosy ? It is proposed by some on the mainland that a special National Department of Health be created at Washington to conserve the physical well being of the entire United States. Hawaii's experience with leprosy suggests that the sooner this be done the better and that the whole business of coping with the leper problem lure be turned over to this Department with power to act. We ire apt to go into hysterics in this community whenever the word leprosy is mentioned. A noted traveler says he saw a leper on the wharf and our people have a fit.

Super. �6 THE FRIEND. OUR HILO CHURCHES. Surely Hilo is not an underchurched community. It has never been such. For, from the early days of the mission when the first Church was established, there has been an orderly succession of Churches to meet the specific needs of all the nationalities represented in Hilo's growing population. First, in 1825, came the Haili Church, with its phenomenal membership, making it one I the historic Churches of the rid. Its present building, the cessor of two previous structures, was erected fifty years ago. For many years Hawaiians and foreigners worshipped together in this Church under the able ministrations of those missionary apostles, Coan and Lyman. The present structure is ample and imposing with an attractive interior, and seating easily six or seven hundred people. In 1867, the First Foreign Church was organized and has ever since been one of the most pronounced factors in the social, moral and religious life of Hilo. It now occupies a comparatively new and beautiful building, erected on the site of the former one, which was altogether inadequate for the growing demands of this influential Church. In 1890, a Japanese Church was organized under most auspicious conditions, and it has had ever since a wholesome growth though necessarily a slow one. In 1892, the demand was so insistent, that a Portuguese Church organized. This Church has an honorable and useful X January, 1909. career under able and devoted ministers, and is housed in an at- tractive and commodious building. The last of the quintet of Churches to be organized was the Chinese, which was formed in 1901. This Church is meeting a real need but is doing it in the face of a stolid indifference that will keen it a missionary enterprise indefinitely. These five Churches, until five years ago, were the only Protestant Churches in Hilo. Their rec- useful one: for they have provided the privileges of religious worship and instruction to men of all classes, and of every nationality. Surely Hilo is not, and has not been, since the advent of Christianity here, an underchurched community. The missionary instinct has been sure and clear, and the Christian people of Hilo for over eighty years have been alert to enter e\ cry open door of opportunity in providing Church organizations and Church buildings for every clear need. In a very real sense, Hilo's chief glory is in her Churches. We take great pleasure in presenting a group picture of these Churches that all our readers may realize how great an asset Hilo has in these her temples of worship. The Church at the top of the page is the Portuguese; the one at the right next below is the Hawaiian, the one at the left the First Foreign; the next in order is the Japanese; and the lower one the Chinese.

After a pleasant voyage of about 10 days we are now within sight of the mountains of Japan On one side the smoking volcano of Noshima, and a little further on Mt. Fuji stands boldly out in the morning sunshine with a spotless white cap of snow. The sunrise, as seen over the ocean, was glorious this morning and gives reason for calling this land the "Sunrise Kingdom." N,ew friends have been made on the trip from Hawaii. Among our company are old and new missionaries for tliina, Japan and Korea (about forty i;-, number). Dr. Rossiter, pastor of the Union Church, is returning to Manila. Major Ray is also on his wayback to the Philippines, and Capt. HolCOmb is returning to Pekin.

C. Ciong, a young intelligent Chinese official, special commissioner to Mexico, is returning to bis home in Foochow. Dr. Joseph licech, president of a large West China College, is returning to S/. Chuan, where his college is to be a part of a great university. Both Mr. Ciong and Dr. Beech are much interested in the opium question and the coming Shanghai Conference. Mr. Ciong is an active member of China's Anti-Opium League, of which His Kxcellency Lin, grandson of Viceroy Lin of Canton, who sought to dc- •• 7 stroy opium at the time of the opium war of 1840, is the president. Mr. Ciong has furnished me letters of introduction to His Excellency Lin, now a high official at Pekin, and to others. I plan to go at once to Pekin and see these men, who arc interested in the fight against opium. The Special Ambassador, Hon. Tong Shao-Yi, when in Honolulu, told me how keenly he felt the fact that the S. S. "Mongolia," on which he was traveling, carried a large cargo of opium worth over a quarter of a million of dollars. This trade in opium from China to America is morally indefensable, and is fast bringing ruin to the Americans who are many of them acquiring the evil habit. Much of this opium also comes back again to Hawaii. The United States Congress should speedily pass laws to prohibit this vicious traffic. As a part of a delightful Thanksgiving Day service on board, the following petition was signed by a large number of the American citizens on board the "Manchuria": fluence towards the speedy enactment of laws for the suopression of the opium traffic in American territory and by American shins, so that the United States may both by examnle and effort aid in the freedom of China from this awful curse of opium.

There are certain well-defined feaof the policy of the Hawaiian Hoard in the conduct of its work that should have the amplest publicity. Thus, for instance, the Hoard recognizes its inherited obligation to conserve the interests of its Hawaiian Churches to the utmost of its ability. It believes in maintaining the work of the missionary fathers. It is convinced that it would be recreant to the trust .committed to it, if it did not employ every wise expedient to enhance the efficiency of those Churches in the changed conditions that confront them. It seeks in some measure to restore to those Churches the same kindly, sympathetic, wise, and naticnt supervision that meant so much to them in the days of the missionary fathers. Again, the Board accepts as a sacred obligation its dut" to sustain at strategic points an alert and intelligent missionary force for the evangelizing of non-Christian elements in our population. The urgency of such a policy is intensified when we realize that the signs all point to the permanent residence here of just these elements, that are bound to be a social menace of very real proportions if they be not permeated by the principles of Christian civilization. Again, the Board recognizes and proposes to heed the call to meet modern conditions with modern agencies. It discovers in congested neighborhoods the summons to any and every form of social effort that will elevate the home and protect the young and make the religion of Jesus Christ a vital factor in the redemption of the socially submerged. Again, the Board proposes to conduct its work according to the most approved methods of administration, making every dollar contributed to it count for the most possible in the discharge of its sacred trust. . jJsYe do not forget that there are other Christian forces at work here. We welcome their presence. We rejoice in their success. We have consistently accorded them our cordial fellowship; have courteously proffered tures * Extract from recent sermon. Published by request. them the occasional use of our houses of worship; and have sought to cooperate with them in enterprises for community advantage. We propose to operate all our Church and missionary enterprises in tiie sinccrest spirit of Christian comity. We do not look with favor on the multiplication of Churches in fields alrcadv occupied ; but shall confine our efforts to the strengthening of our own legitimate and established agencies, and to the inauguration of new agencies in communities where other religious forces are not at work. We hold ourselves under sacred obligations to the Master not to desert any of our Churches or agencies, or to allow any of them to lack any measure of efficiency that we can promote in them. Beyond that we have no call to enter any field unless it be one where no other Christian force is now at work. That was a generous special offering made by Central Union Church on Sunday, Dec. 20. to the Hawaiian Hoard. 'The cash contribution was $1062 05. and the accompanying pledges of payments quarterly during the year, at last advices, footed up ■$324, thus makimr a total of $1386.95. 'This substantial indorsement of the policy and work of the Board is ex ceedingly gratifying to all concerned, and imposes fresh obligation to administer this stewardship of the Churches with the utmost wisdom and fidelity. The loss to the ranks of our Hawaiian ministers of two such devoted men as Rev. Messrs. Kaeo and Lutera within the past two months is a serious one. Who is to take the places of these fallen leaders ? Are our churches praying that our educated youth may hear the Divine call to service? In emergencies like this, we may well have faith in the Divine leading. Let us pray that our churches may have special prompting from on high in securing consecrated men who shall carry forward the work laid down by those who have gone to their reward. John Burns said to an audience of workingmen in London: "I believe that the best and most simple remedy for drink is abstinence, but this must be supnlemented by local or legislative action. One drink-cursed district, Liverpool, has. since 1889, added 78,000 to its population, reduced its police drunkenness cases from 16,000 to 4,180, its crimes from 926 to 552 per 100,000, its policemen by too. at a saving of £8,000 to the rates, by the simple remedy of having got rid of 345 licensed places in eleven years." There are encouraging facts that ought lend stimulus to our prayers. Three men have recently been ordained to the Gospel ministry, one of whom has begun his labors on Kauai, and another of whom may soon be at work elsewhere. One of our ablest young Hawaiian laymen is also in a fair way to be ordained and settled in an important field. to NOTES FROM WAILUKU.

The society from Kakaako Mission has thirteen different nationalities in its membership alone. It would be difficult to find anywhere a more cosmopolitan Endeavor Union than this one. It is an inspiration to see the splendid young manhood and womanhood which is being wrought out from every one of these races through the influence of these societies. What has long been the dream of Christendom is being literally fulfilled in this mid-Pacific Young People's Union. The barriers between the races are disappearing and all are truly OH4 in Christ Jesus. There was the usual interest in the awarding of the banner to the society having the largest per cent, of its memben present.

Rider had been instructing for some time in the fundamentals of the Christian faith. To take the children of the street, as most of these were, of almost every nationality, and bring them to a clear understanding of their duty to Christ and to a willingness to live for Him is a most noble work. This is what Mr. and Mrs. Rider are doing in their quiet, faithful way day by day throughout the year.

Such wise and efficient administration of the missionary activities of the island deserves generous support, that it may push the work even more successfully. We believe that it will The regular Sunday evening service, Dec. 13, at Central Union was given over to a Hiram Bingham Memorial Service. Addresses were given by Dr. Scudder, who paid loving tribute to Dr. Bingham from the view point of his pastor; Rev. O. H.

Brewster Oleson, who, as a friend, spoke of the spirituality of the man, his large and magnetic personality. The choir, by special request, rendered the hymn, "Saved by Grace," and Mrs. Mackall sang to violin accompaniment "Nearer My God to Thee." The Church was well filled by friends who wished to share in this tribute to one whom they all honored and loved. 'The Bible School Christmas festival its exercises in the Parish House in the afternoon at 2 :30 and the other departments in the Sunday School Room in the evening.

The Sunday School Section meets every Wednesday evening after the midweek's service. Six meetings have been devoted to a study of modern Sunday School organization and beginning with January 6th the class will take up Prof. Kent's "Historical Bible" as the basis for the work the rest of the year.

Hence the need that those who realize the importance of upholding the honor of the Christian nations in the far East in a moral and religious as well as in a political and commercial sense should come to its assistance. As the local foreign community is too small to bear this bur- den alone, and as the international scope of its work makes it an enterprise of far more than local significance, the directors feel justified in appealing to the people of America, as well as to the friends of seamen and soldiers everywhere, for an endowment fund of $25,000, and $5,000 for improvements. The Hon. W. 11. Taft, Secretary of War, said, after inspecting the Home: "I believe it to be worthy of support by all Americans," and the directors take the liberty to suggest that the Secretary's words are no less applicable to all English and Germans. To bring the needs of the institution to the attention of the public, the directors have appointed Mr. Jonas White as their representative, and hereby commend him to the confidence and support of all who have at heart the interests of those who represent in distant lands the flags of the American, English and German nations.

It has been the great privilege recently of the Superintendent of the Sunday Schools to make a tour of the islands of Maui and Lanai in the interests of the Association work. Leaving Honolulu at noon on the tenth of November I arrived in Wailuku that evening and became a guest of the Rev. and Mrs. Rowland B. Dodge at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage. The next morning we began our tour of the West Maui Churches and visited the people of Kahakuloa and Waihee, having good audiences at In.tli places. ()n Thursday we were obliged to travel forty-eight miles, because of the sad duty of attending the funeral of the Rev. Martin.. Lutera at the Keawakapu Church, Maketia. He was the first Hawaiian pasti.r to die during the three tears that Mr. Dodge has been on Maui. In the long list of Maui pastors there was none nunc faithful than he. During the last eighteen months his two Churches of Kanaio and Keawakapu have been thoroughly repaired and a third Church,' tli.it of L'lupalakua, newly organized and built. In all, these three Churches that Rev. Mr. Lutera served have raised in the last year and a half about $3200.00. Friday morning we attended the chapel service at Lahainaluna, where we spoke to une hundred and five boys in the large Assembly hall completed last year by Principal MacDonald. A new teacher, Kir. A. L. Paschall, has been added to the able staff at Lahainaluna. We then made calls in Lahaina, and visited the public school where again we made bri:f addresses at the tree-planting exercises. In the afternoon Rev. C. G. Burnham joined us in a visit to the Church at Kaanapali, where a large number of the day-school pupils and the Church people welcomed us and listened eagerly to the words of the three "haole kahunapules." In the evening of Friday a largely attended reception was given tbe Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Burnham, who are the charming new workers of the Board on the Lahaina side of Maui. Their parsonage was being rapidly put into good repair and a lanai dining-room planned for as a welcome addition to the house. Since our visit the house has been cntirelv completed by the efficient labor of Rev. I). W. K. White and the Burnhams are now occupying the parsonage, which borders on the new public park, given by the late Mrs. Campbell-Parker. JUDD. The Lahaina people have welcomed these new comers warmly. The Hoard may well be congratulated in their selection of these friends for this needy field. ()n Saturday we returned to Wailuku via Honokahau where we had a good meeting in the Church. Sunday was a busy day, for I visited the Japanese and Chinese Sunday Schools of Wailuku and the Hawaiian Sunday School of Waikapu and preached three times—at Kaahumanu, Waikapu and Union Churches—having the same number of Sunday services that Mr. Dodge has every Sunday at Wailuku and Waikapu. On Monday I went to Camp 2 at Spreckelsville with Rev. Mr. Tanaka, and Spoke to a company of Japanese Christians. Tuesday was a strenuous day. In the morning the minister's school, which is conducted every month by the Maui ministers, met in the Kaahumanu Church. There were seventeen pastors and workers present, some of them coming, as usual, twenty-five miles to attend this monthly meeting. There were three addresses delivered that morning, by the Rev. Mr. Waltrip of Kahului, Rev. Mr. Dodge and myself. After the lnorniner's program, the school was entertained at lunch by the ladies of the Church. TOUR OF EAST MAIL Later that same afternoon Mr. Dodge and I started on our tour of the eastern part of Maui. We held our first service at Kihei and were glad to be able to address all the natives of the community gathered in the Sunday School house. Messrs. Hayselden and Smith entertained us delightfully over night and the nexj/morning saw us depart early for Ulupalakua and Kanaiao. At both Gmrches we were received most cordially by the congregations lately bereft of their beloved pastor—Martino Lutera. After the largely attended service in the Ulupalakua Church we were entertained at lunch by Mrs. J. 11. Raymond in the beautiful old homestead built by the late Capt. Makce. In the afternoon we rode over to Keokea in Kula and visited the Chinese and Hawaiian Churches. After an early breakfast kindly provided by the hospitable Mrs. Kapohakimohewa we left Keokea an hour or two before daylight and made the ascent of Haleakala. It was a wonderful view that we had at the top of the ridge leading up from Ulupalakua. To the west we could see Wet Maui capped in white clouds and Molokai far beyond, while Lanai, Kahoolawc and Molokini looked most attractive in the early morning's golden light. To the southeast there loomed up above a dense bank of fleecy clouds that overhung the Alenuihaha Channel the three grand mountains of Hawaii, Mauna Kea, Manna Loa and Hualalai. The sight of the great crater of Haleakala was full of interest to us but I was more impressed by the grandeur and magnificent coloring in the crater itself than by the view from the summit. The trip across the floor of the crater and through the Kaupo gap was accomplished safely and comfortably and at dusk we found ourselves at the home of the Rev. David Murray in the Church; ard at Kaupo. A large and appreciative audience gathered in the newly repaired Church and listened to the service two hours and more in length. Several had come from quite a distance and tbey slept in the Church building so as to be on hand for an early morning prayer-meetirg the next day before we started for Kipahulu. After the morning service we crossed five tremendous gulches in the short space of six miles and came to the plantation village of Kipahulu. In the afternoon we visited the excellent public school taught by Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Taylor and found the boys busily engaged in clearing a lane of lantana and guava while the girls were being instructed in sewing by Mrs. Taylor. Under the guidance of these capable teachers the bo\s and girls have transformed the untidy school yard and approaches into a veritable little park. The pupils themselves are very neat and polite. In the evening the Church was filled with Hawaiians and Japanese and Koreans and everyone listened closclv to the addresses on Bible study and SundaySchool work. Saturday- morning we rode over in the rain to the Wananalua Church in Hana and held a ministers' school in two sessions, at which all the Hawaiian ministers of the easternmost part of Maui were present. The gathering proved to be very helpful to everyone. One old man showed his appreciation by his hearty hand-shakes and his "nui. nui, good-bye" and one old woman could hardly keep back the tears, she was so glad we had come. We rode on to Nahikti in the afternoon and made our headquarters over �January, 1909. Sunday at the home of Mr. C. J. Austin. Sunday morning there was a "Hoike" in the Sunday School hour and I was called upon to make a couple of addresses. Then came the installation of the Rev. J. K. Kahoopii, at which service I preached the sermon, the Rev. David Murray of Kaupo offered the installing prayer, the charge to the pastor was given by "Bishop" Dodge and the charge to the people by the Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa of liana. In the afternoon an interesting Christian Endeavor meeting concluded the day's services. Monday we took "the ditch trail" to Keanae, where we had two afternoon services in the Church, the first for the school children and the second for the older people. The next morning we rode along the sea coast on the lower trail, justly famous for its magnificent views of the ocean and shore and mountains. At Iltielo we broke bread at noon-day with Rev. Mr. Opunui and wife and were sorry that we could not have had a service with the people. We reached Pauwela before dusk and had an appreciative audience in the Haiku Hale, who had braved a rainstorm to hear us. After spending the night with friends at Hamakuapoko Mr. Dodge departed the day before Thanksgiving for his home in Wailuku while I remained in the Makawao district for a few days. It was a pleasure to have our Thanksgiving dinner with the Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Turner at "Sunnyside" and to talk over the Sunday School work. Mr. Turner and I visited Ihe native Church in Paia, near the sea, on Satttrdav night and made addresses in behalf of Sunday School work and temperance. Sunday morning I visited the Paia Portuguese Sunday School at the cordial invitation of the Rev. Mr. Santos and then preached at the morning service of tlie Makawao Union Church. In the evening I preached in the Kahului Union Church at Mr. Waltrip's invitation. This was my last service on Maui and the remainder of the time before leaving "the Yallev Isle" was spent in visiting the Wailuku Settlement and other friends in Wailuku and in Lahaina the Baldwin Home and the Kindergarten and other features of the Settlement work there, besides seeing again our new friends— Mr. and Mrs. Burnham. Mrs. Simpson, Miss Clapham atid Miss Knapp are doing excellent work at Lahaina and Miss Turner, Miss Towner, Miss Foltz and their assistants are doing splendid service at Wailuku. THE VISIT TO LANAI. Leaving Maui regretfully, for I had had a most interesting, helpful and delightful time during my tour of the is- THE FRIEND. land with Mr. Dodge, I sailed on the "Mikahala" in company with my mother in the late afternoon of December 2nd and reached the harbor of Manele, Lanai, after a pleasant trip of less than two hours. We were met by our kind friend, Mr. Charles Gay, and were entertained by him and his hospitable wife most charmingly for over a week. It is a source of great satisfaction to the Christians of these islands to know that this island is under the control and leadership of strong Christian workers, whose example and influence is counting mightily for the advancement of righteousness, peace and good-will on Lanai. The services in Lanaihale, the beautiful Church close by the sea at Keomuku, will always be remembered by us. Fully two-thirds of the population of the island were present that morning. The singing was a remarkable feature of the services, likewise the close attention and great interest manifested throughout all the ray's program. After the customary Sunday School service, at which I made a few remarks, there was the morning worship. Upon the platform were three ministers—the Rev. D. W. K. White of Laahaina, the Rev. J. J. Mathews of Waialua, Oahu, and myself. I was asked to preach the sermon. At the conclusion there was the reception of six former members of the Hoomana Naauao Church into the Lanaihale Church; a very impressive service which was followed by the baptism of two children whose parents had just united with the Church. Then the Lord's Supper was administered to these new mein£>ers and after the benediction was pronounced the old members came forward and greeted most heartily and affectionately those who had entered publicly upon their new Church life. It was a most impressive and helpful service to all present. On Sunday, Nov. 29th, at the anniversary of the building of the Lanaihale, completed five years ago, some members were received from the Hoomana Naauao Church and it is expected that others will be received from that Church. At sunset the Christian Endeavor Society held its meeting and it was most helpful and interesting, and was followed by evening worship, at which service the Rev. Mr. Mathews and myself preached. Thus ended a most enjoyable and inspiring day for us all, a day in which our faith was deepened, our hope quickened and our love broadened. It is worthy of interest to note that the men of the island do the preaching in rotation, the names of the preachers for the following month being announced at the last Sunday of, each month. This system of having tHe cowboys, fishermen and farmers of the island do the work 15 of preaching arouses much interest from everyone and proves to lie a source of great help to the men themselves. Might not this system lie beneficial in some of our ebuntry Churches where interest needs to be stirred up? Not very long ago, the question of having liquor on the island was submitted to the vote of the people and only three men put themselves on record as favoring the importation of strong drink to the natives of Lanai. You will not find today any intoxicated natives lying about on the beach at Keomuku as you would have been able to find quite easily seven or eight years ago. But you will find a sober, peaceable and industrious community of Hawaiians who largely go to the house of the Lord on Sunday to worship our Father in Heaven and then go out on Monday to live the Christian life and to enjoy the benefits of living on an island where the name of Jesus Christ is honored and praised, where the spirit of justice, kindness and good-will prevails, where the Lord's Day is observe* in a manner helpful to all, where the Bible is not a forgotten book, where liquor is not allowed and where the Kingdom of Heaven is surely coming. %?• *3* v!* INTERNATIONAL BIBLE READING DEPARTMENT. As 1908 draws to a close, many a business man is forecasting to see where he can improve his business in the next year, and, again, he is taking stock to see what the profits have been in the past year. As Christian workers, it stands us individually and corporately in hand to profit by the man of affairs, for we too often are in a rut in our Christian experience, but if we will but stop and take stock and forecast the future, it will do much to extricate us from the rut which we may unconsciously have fallen into. One of the last departn>ents adopted, by the International Sunday School Association is that of the International Bible Reading Department, founded in '82 by Charles Waters, of London, England, with the one object of getting people to daily read a portion of the Word of God hearing upon the Sunday School lesson for the following- Sunday. In the short space of time since it was begun, schools that have adopted it have proven its practicability and helpfulness in that Bible study is stimulated, lesson preparation is secured, the Sunday School is strengthened, teaching is more satisfactory, family devotions encouraged, and new love and interest is supplied. In the International work there are about 25,000 members. We earnestly appeal to the readers of this paper who do not know of this �16 January, 1909. THE FRIEND. movement to write to your superintend- on our avenues and boulevards, and desk or writing table where you can this movement. This work aids greatly in the'visitation work of the Home Departments, for the workers, who thus visit in the interest of the school, have a definite end and spiritual results to be obtained through this work, and it gives them the opportunity for inquiry as to the progress of the individual's own spiritual life in their visits. One realizes that in these days of strenuous activities, other things are liable to take the place of the Word, and as some one has expressed the thought, "a living Church or School must, of necessity, be a growing one." If the test were applied to us as Christians and as Sunday Schools, might it not be that many of us would have to give expression to the lamentable fact that there is a lack of memorizing of the Word of God and systematic reading. The coojK'ration of all the readers of this paper in earnestly sought in trying to arouse in this movement of the I. B. R.

Will you not, as one, write, as above intimated, and see if you cannot start a branch in your own school ? Follow with this effort your prayers, that God may give us an enrollment of at least fifty thousand during the coming year. School. This we ought to have done without leaving the other undone. It is not necessary to neglect either for the other.

Extracts from General Secretary Lawrence's report to the Louisville Convention. There is nevertheless one feature that ought to fill this Convention with alarm; and it is this: During this entire triennium our Sunday School enrollment in North America has made a net gain of only about a million members. This means that it takes about fifty officers, teachers and scholars a whole year to add one new member to the Sunday School. Our statistics show that the average size of the SundaySchools of North America is ninety. Surely the average Sunday School ought to add more than two new members to its enrollment in twelve months. But this is the record that we must face. This is truly an occasion for alarm and ought to arouse us to action. I fear that in our efforts to make our Sunday Schools better by grading, classification, teacher training, etc., etc., we have forgotten to go into the highways and hedges, and indeed up- It ought to be the normal condition in every Church that the Sunday School enrollment far outnumbers the Church membership. But this condition is not very common in most localities. May there not be the determination in this Convention to enter upon a vigorous campaign throughout our entire field to increase our membership at least ten per cent, a year during the next trienmutn, and this would be threefold better than we have done during the last three years. Why not? Conversions. But the matter to which I wish to call your attention most earnestly, and the one which weighs heaviest upon my heart, is the comparatively small number of conversions we are reporting as a result of our great Association and its work. These figures are better than those reported at Toronto, and yet they arc far from what they ought to be. Forty-six of our Associations report 903,-028 conversions and additions to the Churches during the triennium. But have these forty-six Associations 1,223,796 officers and teachers. From these figures it is seen that it takes five officers and teachers a whole year to lead one soul to Christ and into the Church. Does it appear to you that this is an adequate harvest for all our plowing and seed sowing? Manytimes have I seen my father at corn planting time soak the seed over night before planting it. This he did to make it spring into life the quicker. We are told in the i2f.th Psalm that, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Perhaps we have been faithful in our sowing and in our cultivating, but have failed in watering the seed with our tears ,and anxiously praying for results as we have labored. Every delegate here has received a card bearing the words, "The General Secretary's heart is in this personal message to you." Will you not take the card home and plafc it upon your This, dear friends, is the burden of my heart. More and more do I long to see adequate results in the conversions of our scholars, and, to my mind, this is the weakest point in all our work. We ought not to be discouraged. We have much to be grateful for. God has wonderfully blessed us; 903,028 precious souls won for him in three years, aid yet it is not enough. For one, I feel like confessing the sinfulness of my neglect along this very line, but craving the Father's help that I may do better. At the same time, clear friends, may I not lay it Upon your hearts, as I know it is already upon tbe hearts of many, that these next three years of our history as an Association should be marked by a mighty revival in our Sunday Schools. A Campaign of Soul Winning, seeking in a systematic, definite, earnest, prayerful way to win every scholar to the Lord Jesus Christ. Shall we not give much Mne, thought and prayer to this in every one of the 50.000 Sunday School Conventions that will be held before we meet again? Shall we not preach about it in our pulpits, and talk about it in our teachers' meetings, and before the schools, and use every opportunity to make the harvest greater? We know it is not the will of our Heavenly Father that one of these scholars should perish. It is a great responsibility, dear friends, and I feel it as I have never felt it in my life, and for no one thing have I prayed so much in connection with this Convention as that we might be sent to our knees before God asking for guidance and help and then sent away to our Churches, schools and homes to do more faithful work than we have ever done before. Let us not get tangled up in the machinery of our organization and forget that immortal souls are perishing every day all about us. Thousands and thousands of Sunday Schools run a whole year without a conversion. Over 2,000 Sunday Schools in .one denomination had this record not long ago. NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP (IN JAPANESE).

THE WORLD'S WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION. Katharine Lent Stevenson. Of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union of the United States there is no need that I should write to The Friend. Thirty-four years of continuous existence have made for the organization a large place in the reform and philanthropic history of the age. The child of that mighty religious awakening which swept over our nation in the winter of 1873-1874, it has kept until the present day an enthusiasm and a consecration worthy of its origin. The work has changed in its outer manifestation, but not in its inner spirit. Its forty or more departments are all grouped about the central thought of the establishment of righteousness upon earth. In the words of our official definition, "The Woman's Christian's Temperance Union is an organization of Christian women, bounded together for the protection of the home, for the abolition of the liquor traffic and for the triumph of Christ's Golden Rule in custom and in law." I am but just come from the 35th annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which met in Denver, Colorado, Oct. 23-28. It was prophetic motto: "The Nation's Going Day." We of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union believe that that prophecy is speedily to be realized. But the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the United States, the mother society, is only one corps of our mighty, world-wide army. In fiftyone countries of the world we have an organized life. In many of these lands the work is still small, almost embryonic, but in them all there are at least a few women who are wearing the white ribbon as the badge of a common purpose and who are standing for the redemption from the curse of strong drink, not of one nation alone, but of the world. Seven World's Conventions have thus far been held, two, the first and the last, in Boston, one in Chicago, one in Toronto, one in London, one in Edinburgh and one in Geneva. The next will be held, either in London or Glasgow, in the Spring of 1910. I know nothing which has served as so mighty a factor in bringing together the womanhood of the world as has this most cosmopolitan society. It knows no distinction of race or creed. It recognizes intemperance and the liquor traffic, with their kindred evils, as the common foes of all lands. It recognizes also the vital inter-relation of all nations; that the prosperity of all is essential to the real prosperity of each 17 and that no nation anywhere can come to its highest development while any, anywhere, is kept at its lowest. The statement that God made of one flesh all nations that dwell upon the earth is more than a glittering generality to the leaders and members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. We have looked into each others faces, we have clasped hands and joined hearts. We know the mighty urge of a common purpose, "For God, and Home and every land." Because of hat we have done and the greater things we are yet to do in the unifying of the nations the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ought to appeal especially to the Christian men and women of Hawaii. You have here the great experiment station of the nation in the making of American citizens. You have more than that, viz.: an experiment station in the development of tbe world-spirit and world-unity. I have been more and more forcibly impressed with this fact during every day I have spent in your enchanted land. I rejoice in the object lesson you are giving to the nation and I believe it is one by which the entire world will yet profit. I like the motto given in the < Ictober issue of THK FRIEND: "Hawaii for the world." I would like to enlarge its scope to "America for the World and then to "The World for the World." The World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union stands for nothing less than the bringing in of that great day when "the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall sec it together." Standing for such high ideals it merit.-. the sympathy, the prayers, cooperation and the support of all those in cverv land, whose hearts God has touched with a desire to hasten the coming of His Kingdom, when His will shall be done in earth as it is in Heaven. AYear's Decrease. A preliminary report for the United States fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, has the following interesting items: The consumption of whiskies of various kinds decreased $16,178,094. Tobacco had a fall of $1,948,315. There were small decreases in other lines. The government took in from beer as against tax, however, $58,546,110 one year ago, an increase of $201,570. The tax on beer is $1 per barrel, holding gallons. In the past year, therefore, American people, although cutting down their whisky suoply and their cigars, drank 201,570 barrels more of beer �January, 1909. THE FRIEND. 18 than they did in the year before, which was supposed to be one of great prosperity. The heaviest decrease in the consumption of cigars was in those weighing more than three pounds per thousand. The total receipts from this source were $20,714,270, as compared with $22,470,434 in the previous year, showing a decrease of $1,756,158. Chewing tobacco also showed a decrease, but cigarettes held their own, showing a small increase. Report for Hawaii The total receipts for the entire Territory for liquor licenses under the new liquor license law, for the year ending June 30. H)o8, was $90,367.72. The receipts so far for the first half of the current year arc $44,620. Restaurants and Liquors. The Board of License Commissioners have sent the following notice to all restaurants taking out a restaurant liquor license: "Dear Sir: 1 am directed by the Board of License Commissioners to notify you that, in the opinion of the Board, the second-class retail restaurant license held by yon only authorizes yon to sell intoxicating liquors with meals for consumption in the place." Since the receipt of this letter, these licensees have refused to sell drinks except with meals, or in bottles to be taken away from the place. Haswell said she "never saw such lots of grand folks before." We have had a very dry summer and fall. The dust is something dreadful and the air is thick with smoke from the forest tires. Today we had a northeast wind, bringing the smoke from the upper peninsula of Michigan and we can not see a half mile away. The destruction of forests has been terrible this rear. THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL. We are in receipt of a copy of The Hawaiian Annual, a valuable compendium of information about Hawaii, which no one who is desirous of knowing the main facts of interest about these islands can afford to be without. The question so frequently asked bynew comers and tourists, "Where can I obtain, in the smallest compass, a book which will give me U intelligent idea of Hawaii, past and present, and its outlook for the future?" finds its answer in this Annual, for which the community is indebted to Mr. Thomas ( ',.

A few weeks ago a unique meeting of the visitors of the Maui I lonic Department was held at the home of Mrs. 11. P. Baldwin in Sprecklesville. There were present visitors from Wailuku, Kahului, Sprecklesville, Paia and 1 lamakuapoko. Distances forbade the presence of the Lahaina and Xahiku Visitors. Encouraging reports were received from nearly all the fields. The work is new and must have time to grow. ()f course it is not all encouraging.

Next to this spirit which forms its inexhaustible source of weaith comes its endowment of real properly, its forty acres of land already far advanced in value above its cost and worth well on to $100,000. .Add to this its two buildings, one completed, the other last rising, totaling more than $150,000 and its invested funds of over $37,500, and it becomes apparent that the spirit of the MidPacific Institute is rapidly clothing itself in attractive garments. The task is now upon its friends of raising $350,000 cash endowment. That ought to be done during 1009 if advantage is to be taken >f the tide which will soon set towards the school from Asia. The directors have authorized the engagement of a capable Japanese lady to bead the Japanese department of Kawaiahao. When she reaches Honolulu a large increase of Japanese girls may be looked for. In a year the new hoys' building will be completed and will soon be overflowing with students. The practical character of the courses of study, which, besides fitting those who expect to pursue higher education elsewhere, plan to equip graduate with power to be industrially independent, will compel the support of the hardest headed business men and still more popularize the school. To meet all this, the sooner the needed endowment is in hand the better, llecause in the very nature of things such an institution is a sine qua iwn here, the money will come. The environment, having necessitated the establishment of the school, must also stimulate the financial support. Courage then. Let the Mid-Pacific tell out its story of God, who inspired its organization, will move the hearts of His children to develop it into power. ****** The Campaign For Men. At the very outset of the present administration in Central Union Church the slogan "Men to the front" was sounded. It accorded with the prevailing spirit of Christ's kingdom on earth which is nothing today if not �February, 1909 THE FRIEND 4 virile. Whenever a great advance has been sounded by the Great Captain, men have sprung forward with a vigor and enthusiasm irresistible. We are in the midst of such a rallying today throughout the entire Christian world. It matters not where one's eyes rest, in Turkey, India, China, Europe, the Americas, Japan, men are awake for Jesus Christ, and are 'leading mighty movements for ideal humanity. Hawaii is feeling this world pulsation and is responding as last year's story in Central Union Church clearly indicates. Of the yz admitted last year to membership 44 per cent, were males, the masculine percentage of those received on confession of faith being 48 per cent. But the organization of the Men's League, which was the outgrowth of several months of good work by the Young Men's Cabinet and whose membership is rapidly nearing the 200 mark, indicated the trend of things even more surely. The Cabinet was organized distinctly to help the Church realize the possibilities of its influence in the community. Hence the League was planned to facilitate this purpose. It meant business and the sections into which it at once divided itself are doing business. The test, of course, will come with lime. Progressive response to environment is the price of life and an organization of this kind in order to be vital must ever accord with the changing demands of the never resting human world. v* J* J* v* <** The Lenten Program. The executive committee of the League has requested the Minister of Central Union Church to devote the Sunday evenings during Lent to a series of addresses upon the Reality of the Spiritual Life. At its January meeting the League enthusiastically endorsed the committee's request and voted to put forth all the power of the League in making the series a success. The Musical Section is to have charge of that part of the program. The addresses, the nucleus for which was a course of Passion Week Talks given last year, have been in course of preparation for publication. An endeavor will be made to rally as large numbers of men to these services as possible. jl ji jl jl jl jt Coastwise Shipping Laws. The Civic Federation did one of its beat strokes of work, when stirred by the remarks of Governor Frear anent the cowardly local back down on the coastwise shipping question, it issued a call for a mass meeting to voice I!" nolulu's real sentiments. The gathering was an unusually large and representative one. the addresses by Governor Frear, Mr. Thurston, Prof. Babson and others were to the point and the vote, if>B to 2, was decisive. The meeting voted to cable resolutions (costing some $150 to send) to Washington requesting the exempting of Hawaii from the provisions of the Coastwise Shipping laws until an adequate number of American vessels are running between the Coast and the Islands. Inasmuch as the ship subsidy measure is popular here the resolutions expressly favored this policy. It is needless to add that there are some in Hawaii who do not favor subsidies or protective duties, believing then) to be forms of unjust taxation. Perhaps the Democrats and free trade Republicans may stave off the subsidy bill for another two years. Meantime it is to be rival of the Honolulu boat and compelling all passengers to put in a long tedious wait before the next train leaves. It has done little good for islanders to complain of this, but when two men of such commanding influence in the traveling world point out how certain such a policy is to discourage tourists, it will bear fruit. After all it pays to treat new comers as you would be treated if you were new. Make every provision for enabling travelers to see the best, to facilitate their every comfort and they will want to come again and tarry longer. They also will send scores of others. The phrases, "perfect accommodations," "every possible comfort," mean volumes to American travelers. We have found it hard to get visitors to go to the volcano simply because of the justice of the very criticisms passed Upon the Hilo trip by these visiting railroad men. Some day a railway will run from Kawaihae to Hilo connecting with a rapid steamer to and from Honolulu, and then the horrors of the sea trip a thing of the past, Hilo will come to its own as a tourist center. 1). S. CHRISTMAS IN WAILUKU. A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITS hoped that the Coastwise laws will directly be suspended for Hawaii. It is too good to believe that Congress will restore American shipping to the seas by allowing its citizens to buy ships built anywhere and fly the Stars ami Stripes over them and employ any seamen to man them whom they may choose. What Congress will do when it once begins to legislate for freer commerce no one can prophesy. We may yet see Hawaii a free port. J* v~ 0* %5* v* Our Tourist Boom. Among the many blessings, which the promotion of world wide travel to Hawaii is sure to bring, that of free criticism of ourselves and of our insular way of doing things will not be the least. Two railroad men of large prominence have just visited the volcano and have called attention in no unequivocal language to the inexcusably short-sighted and vexatious policy of the Hilo railroad in despatching a train to the volcano just before the ar- The Christmas season in the Churches uf W'ailuku was most delightful in weather and filled with much joy for all our workers. At the Union Church the Sunday evening service was made very attractive with excellent Christmas music by members of our Church and congregation. The decorations were decidedly in keeping with Christmas, being red geraniums and poinseltia. The collection for the Hawaiian Hoard was the largest in three years. ()n the Saturday lx-fore the little people of the Sunday School met for Santa Clans' presents, games and a tree. Tt will be interesting to the many Honolulu friends of Union Church to know that fully half of the little white people of Waliuku, other than of Catholic parents, have been enrolled for the last eight months in the Union Sunday School and that the school is increasing in numbers every few months. This fact with the well attended evening services, and cordial relations in town with all other Christian workers makes the Union Church more and more valuable each year to the community. At Waikaptt and Kaahumanu Churches the Christmas exercises were well attended and the little people greatly enjoyed their Santa and gifts. �5 THE FRIEND February, 1909. THE MAILED FIST.

And just here let me say that under the guidance of father and mother the little Gulick hoys were encouraged to raise silk worms, which were fed by them from mulberry trees planted by their father. We were very intimate with Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Peck, who were most estimable people. From the silk planters we learned how to reel the silk from the white and yellow cocoons. These silk-worms were fed on Sundays as regularly as the milk cows were sent the pasture on Sundays. And yet the stale yarn today finds credence, that the silk business was abandoned because the missionaries opposed the feeding of silk worms upon the Sabbath. Such sapient yarns have survived even to our day. As an Angel of Light. Missionary touring was one of the most arduous duties of the earlier missionaries. A service not devoid of satisfaction.

The joyous welcome that the people gave their teacher, and the hearty hospitality of the generous people. made the discomforts seem light, and the joy great.

Did not the missionaries begin at once to gather in the children, and seek to raise up a more enlightened generation? No; such procedure is utterly impossible in an uncivilized land. Children cannot be held together or brought under the restraints or inconveniences of schooling or of any kind of instruction, until the parents are in some measure impressed with the value of instruction. In such a community men. young men. are the first who can be reached. The Hawaiian, like the most of the human family, was a hero worshipper, and one who held the chiefs, especially the higher chiefs, in the most profound respect. The first missionaries realized 7 THE FRIEND that the chiefs, if won, would surely lead their people. Those of the earlier missionaries who were located near the high chiefs spared no pains to obtain their respect, and to inspire them with a desire to receive what the messengers from the far land had to impart. The earliest attempts to lead the people in acts of worship, were fraught with great difficulties. When the missionary began in a proposed service to pray, the people said he is talking to his god, and when they heard in their own tongue the words of confession, they said he is telling his god that we are bad, and turned away in anger. "But wisdom is justified of her children." Some were attracted and came again and again to hear. Such received instruction joyfully and in time were sent out by the missionary to be teachers of others. Of course these earliest teachers were the But crudest instructors imaginable.

The Magic Paper. be It is to remembered that the people had no idea whatever of reading or writing, or that a piece of paper might be made to speak to one miles away who should scan it. This was as great a mystery as the n>agic of wireless telegraphy. The story is told of the sending by a missionary of a number—we will say seven—melons to a distant friend. When the messenger delivered six melons with an accompanying note, the receiver asked after the remaining seventh melon. The bearer replied that the letter was not in sight when he ate that melon, and he could not understand how the letter could have told of his eating that seventh melon for he was himself out of sight of the letter when he ate the fruit. The basis of all western book learning is the alphabet. The early missionaries ere long discovered that all genuine Hawaiian words could be written with twelve letters—five vowels and seven consonants. The first primer was styled the Pi-a-pa, this being the first bookteaching the construction of syllables by the combination of letters. The five vowels are given the Italian or Continental sounds. With a full understanding of these vowel sounds the reading of the Hawaiian language Incomes exceedingly simple. All words being written phonetically no time whatever is wasted in teaching spelling. No child with a 1 lawaiian ear, will ever misspell a native word. When it dawned upon the people how easy and how practicable it was to learn to read, there swept over the land a wave of desire to learn this wonderful art. Chiefs and people alike flocked to the missionaries to learn, and many on. teachers of reading led the Why Not Teach English? Xow, why did not the missionaries teach the people English, and give them something worth knowing, give to them the key that would open to them the literature and the wisdom of the ages?

The thousand teachers who. after a few weeks or months with the missionary, acquired the power to put the twelve letters' into syllables and then by these syllables producing the words whose sounds were familiar to their ears, words conveying meaning to their minds: these, knew no English, and were as incapable as babes to acquire or to impart instruction in a foreign language. No, the missionaries did the only possible or practicable thing, namely to teach the people in their native language. (To be Continued).

We quote: "Some of our good Christian friends, not of the way in which we walk, felt aggrieved at the article on Hilo in the December issue. A sentence appeared; 'The Bishop almost despaired of planting the Church there permanently.' "The supposed grievance arises from the use of the word Church.

Now that our contemporary has called special attention to the usage of the word Church, it is fitting that we should add that in no instance does the Century Dictionary, or Christian usage the world over, warrant the monopolizing of the word Church by any organization of Christians, whether the word be spelled with a capital or otherwise.

The Minister's Class. Chtistmas Sunday Dr. Scudder announced in his morning sermon that he would be pleased to begin a class of instruction for the boys and girls of the Church who were thirteen years of age. The purpose of the class he stated was not primarily to prepare the children to join the Church or to bring undue pressure to bear upon them to take such a step, but rather to lead them naturally and along proper pedagogical lines into an understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith so that as they come to that age in life when they would most naturally decide to be followers of Christ they would be able to do it intelligently. In response to this invitation a •rood sized class has been meeting Dr. Scudder Friday afternoon at 2:30 in the parlor of the Church and have taken up in earnest this important work —a course of study which cannot fail to be of inestimable value to the boys and girls throueh all their lives. The Men's League. Our Men's League is certainly making itself felt along both religious and civic lines. It is putting new life into every department of the Church's work. The Friendship and Welcoming Sections are doing a most important service in keeping ever on the lookout for new comers to the city, of which there are a constantly increasing number, systematically inviting them to the Various Church and League meetings, and seeing to it that they arc made to feel at home and get acquainted when them come. The Sunday School Section is rallying to the support of the Wednesday Night Normal Class in fine shape. The attendance and interest has been steadily increasing. The Sunday Morning Men's Bible Class continues to be one of the strong features of the Sunday's program. The attendance has kept close to thirty even through the busy holiday season. One of the most inspiring Mul-ifcek services, so a number of those who attended volunteered to say, was the meeting January 20, on the "Brotherhood Movement," led and conducted throughout by members of the Men's League. At the last meeting of the League it was voted to support both by attendance and by personal work among the men of the city a series of Sunday Evening Lenten Addresses, which Dr. Scudder has announced on "The Realities of the Christian Life."

KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY "AT HOME" —SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION AT ATHERTON'S HALL. In May, 1907, many friends of this institution gathered in Manoa Valley, on the campus of' the Mid-Pacific Institute, to witness the "Turning of the first sod" on the site of the then anticipated building for Kawaiahao Seminary. Those of this same number, who were privileged to share in the festivities of January Ist, 1909, in the completed edifice could abundantly realize that the intervening months had been busily occupied. On the magnificent height, with its inspiring views of ocean and mountain, had arisen a massive and picturesque building, constructed of the rocks of the valley, over which nature had dawn a delicate lichened tracery of her own. Where the different schools had sung their songs, in the Open, with the algarohas encirling them and the blue above them, was now the commodious home of one section of the institute, with work well under way, in its new and beautiful environment. Month after month busy workmen of many different nationalities had been engaged in accomplishing this transformation. The noble building, which is now one of the most prominent features in the landscape of Manoa Valley, is most conveniently located, within easy access to the cars of the Rapid Transit Company. By a stimulating and pleasant coincidence the visitor reaches it most readily on Armstron street, a name which recalls two men, father and son, who have been inspiring forces in the cause of education, both in Hawaii and on the mainland of the L'nited States. "Athcrton Hall" presents a noble frontage to Diamond Head, extending along its main terrace, which rises picturesquely from the valley below, for nearly two hundred feet. Three wine's inclose two inner courts in the rear. The welllijrhted and convenient basement affords spacious auarters for the laundry, storerooms and needed work-rooms of the institution. Above this on the first floor are the reception rooms, offices, class and music rooms and sewing department and rreat dining hall, with its noble stone fire-place. At the further extremity of one of the wings is the infirmary, arranged with all necessary conveniences, presided over by a trained nurse who is a graduate of the Seminary. Ascending THE FRIEND the main stair-way in the center of the building, from the broad and airy cloister with its massive stone arches, which runs along the front of the building, the visitor comes first to the spacious assembly hall, which occupies nearly the full length of the middle wing. This is one of the most beautiful halls in the Territory and reflects much credit tt|x>n the architect, Mr. H. L. Kerr, as indeed does the whole building, which has been greatly admired by all who have visited it. On this same floor are to be found the apartments of the faculty and in two of the wings separate rooms for the pupils of the senior and intermediate grades. These are well-lighted and airy and in every way adapted for the comfort and convenience of their occupants. On the floor above are the dormitories, which are most commodious and attractive. It is a cause for much gratitude that the penerous donors of this beautiful memorial building have here erected so well constructed and attractive an edifice, and one so fitted in practical details for the varied needs of the institution which here finds its home. Truly no more fitting monument could have been reared to the memory of one who so earnestly tailored in the cause of all forms of philanthropic work and especially of Christian education than this. Busy workmen so long occupied the building that it was difficult to think of any thing but "finishing" work ever going on then, hut at last a time came when it seemed possible to throw open the new school home to all friends who cared to inspect it. January ist was chosen for this opening day and with this was connected the old Hawaiian custom of the Hookuptt, so that this became a "giftday" as well. Early in the afternoon friends of all nationalities began to arrive and for several hours a steady stream of visitors passed through the building, which was indeed open to them in kindly welcome from basement to attic. In the faculty parlor and the adjoining library, the principal, Miss Ilosher, assisted by the lady members of the Board of Trustees and the wives of other members, received in a most hospitable manner the large throng of guests. Different members of the faculty lent their aid at many points in making the afternoon one most pleasantly to be remembered by all who came. Dainty refreshments were served in the large, cool dining hall and in the front corridor the strains of Hawaiian music added to the festive character of the gathering. Prominent among the visitors and most gladly welcomed were a number of former pupils of Kawaiahao Seminary, now busy with the active duties of life in the iarger world outside. 11 but drawn by their aloha for the dear old school which in spirit still lives here, amid new surroundings it is true, but always ready to welcome with hearty aloha those wdio have ever been in any way connected with it. It was pleasant also to notice among the hundreds of visitors many representatives of the ()riental races which have come to Hawaii. Their ever increasing interest in the cause of education is most noteworthy. Those present on this occasion seemed much imoressed by the splendid opportunities offered in Kawaiahao Seminary for practical and thorough training, amid such stimulating surroundings, for young women. China, Japan and Korea are already well rq>resented in the institution and some of the most promising pupils are from these races. Most generously did its friends remember the Seminary on this Xew Year's Day and left behind them abundant evidence of their kind wishes for the continued success of the school in a material way. Many of the gifts were placed in the Seminary Hall and presented a beautiful and varied appearance, watched over and guarded by the l>cautiful American flags which were suspended above them. Long and pleasantly will the memories of this delightful opening day linger in the minds of many. The evidences of sympathetic appreciation of the work, here being carried forward, will serve as a helpful stimulus to those who are bearing its responsibility—to press forward to larger undertakings. *_W _$• Jm *™ t,w INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION IN EDUCATION. ()ne of the most encouraging features in the larger altruistic life of the present time is the desire on the part of many in England and America to share with peoples of other and less favored lands the results of the educational systems which have been beneficial to themselves. An especially striking example of this is to be found in the increasing interest manifested by certain of our leading American universities in educationai work in China.

Notes From The Field taken place there in the last few months. Not only has the macadamizing of the road added greatly to the pleasure of taking a trip through this section of country, but there have suddenly sprung up, as if born of the soil, such a number of cottages and such signs of development that one is reminded of the boom of a western town. Passing over this road a few months ago we were impressed with the vast area of fertile land which was lying practically idle. It is at too great an elevation to be suitable for cane production, but there is a fair rainfall, the soil is niellow and rich—even the fence posts have sprouted and grown up into trees that form a striking boundary line between the fields,—and the ground is already cleared, the forests having receded far up the mountain sides. One could not help wondering why no one was making use of the opportunities which lie on the very surface there. Another thing was equally surprising, for in the midst of this uninhabited country there was a new pineapple canning factory, apparently unrelated to anything except a few small patches of pines on the hillside. The Transformation. But now the whole aspect of the country is changed. Scattered alont? the road for a distance of two miles or more there are about ninety thrifty cottages, each located in the midst of a tract of fenced-in land several acres in extent, with a supply of pure water carried by pipes to each house: pineapple fields too, and gardens have bloomed into existence in a manner suggestive of dreamland. A Japanese temple is perched high on the hill, and a Portuguese Church is under contemplation. In the valley is a neat school house—we were passing just at recess time, and the children were evidently patriotic, for the prevailing colors in shirtwaists were red, white and blue.

These lots are made available to "Homesteaders" on condition of certain improvements being made, after which the occupant may hold the title to the land in fee simple. The promoters of this Homestead Camp scheme offer to any one taking up one of these holdings, a loan of $325 for building a house, also furnishing lumljer and labor for the same at cost. If a man wishes to add to this out of his own means, he may build a house to suit his own taste and he has 18 years in which to clear off his indebtedness. To make the investment still more inviting to the laborers, the promoters have located a pineapple factory in the very heart of the district, purchasing pineapples at market prices. A railroad has been put through to the Homestead Camp, so that the Homesteaders are absolutely independent to come or to go, to work on plantations or to work on their own homesteads. Purely Business. This is said to be, not philanthropy, but business, purely business. It is believed to be good business policy to have a labor supply of people owning their own homes in the vicinity of a plantation, and free as men can be, to work when and where they please.

The Wailuku Japanese Church (Rev. G. Tanaka. pastor,) celebrated the closing of the Old Year with a joyful service in which six young men were baptized and received into the Church. Mr. Dodge speaks of it as a very good service because of the large number out, and the earnestness of those who came out to serve Christ openly. f^n First fruits among the Japanese in Kona were gathered into Central Kona Church the first Sunday of the New Year by the baptism of six young men, one of whom was received into the Church.

Tour of Oahu. The day after Christmas I journeyed across the Nuuanu Pali and through the beautiful district of Koolaupoko to HakiDUU, where I spent the night. Sunday, December 27th, was the day for Hoike services in practically all of our Church Sunday Schools. Having received a cordial invitation to attend the Hoike at Kam-ohc I did so and was pleased to find a good-sized congregation in the old Church makai of the court house. Under the leadership of Mr. Frank Pahia the children and the adults went through their various parts with credit. Then several addresses were made, the first being by Mr. Joseph Roberts, formcrlv a cowboy and manager of the Kualoa ranch, on Oahu, but now an itinerant preacher. Mr. Roberts told of his tour of Maui on foot and how he had been preaching the Gospel everywhere. He was now to make the circuit of Oahu without the use of horse or carriage. The Rev. J. K. Paele of Waikane, recently ordained a minister of the Gospel by vote of the Oahu Association, made a few remarks and then I spoke of recent visits among the other Sunday Schools of Oahu and on other islands. Then Mrs. Rol>crts and others concluded the program with appropriate remarks. After an intermission, the Christian Endeavor Society held its usual meeting, the topic being "The New Era in China." A most interesting speaker was Mr. Ah Mcc, a Christian Chinese who came to these islands many years ago and was converted to Christianity through the influence of Mr. Frank W. Damon.

The usual social conversations took place in the Church yard after the service and it was good to greet so many friends. Kaneohe is fairly well populated and prosperous and the Church really needs a regular pastor to minister to the community. Meanwhile Mr. Pabia, Mr. Kellett and others are loyally supporting the Church work. Tuesday. December 2Q, in company with friends, I l>egan a tour of the remaining portion of Oahu, visiting that day the lovely valley of Punaluu and making the ascent of "the James P.. Castle trail" to the camp on the Kalitiwaa stream, far above the famous waterfall. It is well worth while for anyone to take this comparatively easy trip and see a remarkably beautiful part of Oahu. both grand in its far-distant glimpses of Waimanalo and Makapuu as well as the waters of Kaneohe bay, and picturesque in its near-by views of moss-covered lehua trees, banana trees, wauke. olona, loulu or native palms and other luxuriant vegetation. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Hay at the Hauula railroad station gave us shelter for the night. That part of this island is being more and more visited, now that there is a railroad from Kahttku to Kahana and a stage-line from Hauula to Honolulu. We found tourists from California and from our own metropolis who were enjoying the Kaliuwaa valley, renowned in Hawaiian legends, the sunrise at the sea-shore and the many charming features of country-life in Koolauloa. When T rode over to the Hauula parsonage the next mornintr T was fortunate in finding the Rev. Mr. Nuubiwa at home. Tt was with much recrret that T learned of the weakness of the Church and Sunday School there. It is to be hoped that the Church at Hauula may vet become a power in the community. Our next resting place was Waialee, where we were entertained most cordially over niMit by Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Gibson. The Boys' Industrial School under their supervision is in excellent condition. Great improvements have V been made there in the past five years and the farm is very productive of vegetables, taro, sugar cane, bananas, etc. Resides farming in its various branches such as dairying, pig and poultry raising, fruit and vegetable culture, the boys are taught useful trades in the carpenter and blacksmith shops, are instructed in "the three rs" in the class-room, are initiated into the mysteries of the drill and some of them play in the school band. Baseball and other games give healthy recrea» tion. Waialee is an ideal location for such an institution and it is gratifying to knowthat the boys are being trained to become useful citizens. The ride from Waialee to Waimea next morning was most interesting, hecause so many "small farmers" are developing the land that, less than five \ears ago, was devoted to the cattle industry. Many people on Oahu seem to have become "pineapple crazy," for at Paumalu, Pupukea, Waimea and the vast Wahiawa and 1 lalemano section acres and acres of land are being put into pineapples. Let us hope that a welcome market may be found for all the pines produced by these progressive "small farmers." Passing through the village of Waialua and by the huge sugar mill and through the cane fields, we came to the home of Rev. and Mrs. John P. Erdman, where we were entertained at lunch. It gives one a gladsome feeling to thinkthat the country districts of the island are being cared for by such an able leader as Mr. Erdman and to know what a splendid influence he is exerting among the Hawaiians and Japanese as well as other races. The First Church of Waialua, Rev. L. D. Keliipio pastor, held a special service that evening, it being New Year's Eve. At this "Watch Night Meeting" a good audience was present. There were songs and addresses by the pastor, the president of the Christian Endeavor, the superintendent of the Sunday School, Supervisor Cox and other Church members. I was asked to say a few words about the new year. In the audience �THE FRIEND February, 1909. or have ever asked if they could be of any help to the little school?

After the program coffee and cakes were passed about to those present and then the gathering dis- A Sunday in Honolulu. The first Sunday of the new year was a time for hopeful outlook and the beginning of the Church year with enthusiasm and renewed determination. A visit to the Palatini Settlement Sunday School revealed the interesting fact that a new course of study has been introduced there this quarter by Mr. Rath anil his assistants. It is the note-book and picture system, adopted last fall at Kawaiahao and used so successfully by them, Where the number of competent teachers is sufficient it may be well for any Sunday School to take up this new method of study. It costs more effort and time from the teacher, but it arouses greater interest from the young people and moreover gives them in concrete form the results of their teachers' instruction. The note-book system, \ hope, will spread among our schools. At Palama the boys and girls seemed to take to the new idea readily. At the Kawaiahao Church that morning the Communion of the Lord's Supper was observed, previous to which seventeen new members were received into the Church and twenty-seven adults and children received the Sacrament of Baptism. It was a most impressive service to sec so many Christians confess Christ openly and to see so many infants dedicated to the Lord and to His service. Among the "apana" chapels of the Kaumakapili Church is the Waikahalulu Chapel, that is mauka of School street and near the Waikahalulu falls of the Nuuanu stream. The bell of the little chapel calls people to the Sunday School service every Sunday afternoon. How many of those who ever hear the ringing of the bell know whence it cometh 15 religious privileges. There are usually at least four services every Sunday and once a month—the second Sunday— when Mr. Erdman conies, five services. The attendance of about seventy in spite of the bad weather was unusually large. A Sunday Among the Young People. The third Sunday of January I attended the morning service of the Memorial Chapel at Kamehameha School and gave an address on"The Hawaiian Sunday School Association." It was my purpose to show the work of the Association in its various features and to present some of the problems we are trying to solve, the teacher-training problem, the problem of arousing interest in Bible study at home daily, the problem of how to gather in and hold the boys and girls not in any school. In closing I urged all the Kamehameha girls and boys to become identified with Sunday School work and to support heartily the local Sunday Schools of the communities from which they come. It's a far cry from Dan to Beersheba, and so it is from Kamehameha to that other splendid institution, in the beautiful valley of Manoa—the Mid-Pacific Institute, popularly called "Kawaiahao." Placed almost at the extreme limits of our growing city these two institutions of learning are doing splendidly in the great work of character building. The vesper service at Atherton Hall was amid picturesque surroundings. A preacher does not often have to look up at his audience seated row upon row on the broad stone steps leading up to the front entrance of a school building, but such was the setting of the scene that evening. Previous to my introduction to the students they sang very sweetly several beautiful hymns and also, by request, the old Kawaiahao song. It was an inspiring sight to see girls of Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Porto Rican and other nationalities all uniting in singing songs about the Father of us all. Such a gathering as meets every Sunday evening at the Mid-Pacific helps us to realize that Jesus Christ came for all races and teaches us the brotherhood of man. It was a pleasure to talk to the interesting girls and tell them of the Sunday Schools on Maui and other islands. The girls of the Mid-Pacific are to be congratulated on having such an able leader in Miss Bosher and such a splendid faculty as the new institution pos- Rev. Horace W.

May the new Settlement he a great blessing to Kalihi and an ever increasing source of inspiration, comfort and cheer to the community! A Sunday at Waikane. The latter part of the week the Koolaupoko district was again visited for the purpose of beimr present at the Waikane Church at its quarterly Communion service. The day, January 10th, was marked by the beginning of .a kona storm that raged three days with more or less severity along the coast of Oahu. In spite of great wind and some rain the people of Waikane, Waiahole and Hakipuu came out to Church and Sunday School quite faithfully • that day. Besides the Rev. Moses Kuikahi and Rev. J. K. Paele, Rev. Mr. Erdman and I were in attendance. After the Sunday School meeting in "Lanakila Hall," the regular morning worship was held in the Church, at which time I preached. Then I baptized ten children and infants, after which Rev. Mr. Kuikahi, the pastor, and Rev. Mr. Erdman conducted the Communion service. Then, in the Lanakila Hall or Sunday School house Mr. Erdman held his Bibie class. It was an interesting hour to which almost all the congregation stayed. After lunch at the parsonage there were other meetings— sesses. the Christian Endeavor and the Hui Manawalea—but Mr. Erdman and I could not remain for them.

On the afternoon of January 22 a company of the good people of Honolulu assembled at the home on Punahou street, and later at the Kawaiahao Mission cemetery, to lay to rest the form of Mrs Maria Jane Chamberlain Forbes, who fell asleep the day before, at the age of seventy-seven years. In the passing of Mrs. Forbes this community loses from its midst one of the strongest characters of the first generation of the children of the American missionaries to Hawaii. Maria Chamberlain was one of five island girls who, after study at Punahou. pursued their education together at Mt. Hoiyoke Seminary in the years 1850--1853, and was one who returned to Hawaii in 1854. Three of the five are still living in Honolulu. She was married to Rev. Anderson O. Forbes in 1858. The earlier years <rf the married life of this young couple were spent at Kaluaaha, Molokai. Mr. Forbes for some years succeeding Rev. H. R. Hitchcock as missionary pastor, of what at that time constituted one of the most interesting portions of the Hawaiian field. Later, after other pastorates in Hilo and elsewhere in the islands, Mr. Forbes was called, in 1880, to the secretaryship of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and made his home in Honolulu. After years in this service, physicians prescribed travel for �18 February, 1909 THE FRIEND his health, and while on return from the Eastern States he died in Colorado Springs, in 1888. In all his work for Hawaiians, Mrs. Forbes was his devoted helper. rOC twelve succeeding years, Mrs. Forbes, in her own efficient and satisfactory manner, conducted the Lunalilo Home for aged and disabled Hawaiians, winning the love and esteem of the many needy ones who were recipients of her kindness. Sensible of the increasing infirmities of age in 1901, Mrs. Forbes resigned, and was succeeded by Mrs. Weaver in the care of this very interesting institution. Her later years have been spent in her own home on Punahou street, where surrounded by her children and grandchildren and other kindred she has l>een the valued friend of a wide circle of acquaintances. In every relation of life she was to be depended upon, to fulfil every trust. A genuine interest in others accompanied by evidences of sympathy, made her in every case the true friend. Brought up in a missionary family Maria Chamberlain became an earnest Christian and united with the Mission Church, and in all the experiences of life her faith in God was firm and unwavering and her example and influence was ever on the side of right. She opened "her mouth with wisdom: and in her tongue was the law of kindness." "Her children arise tqi and call her blessed." She leaves a son, two daughters and four grandchildren to bless her memory, besides brothers, a sister, nephews and nieces. "The memory of the just is blessed." (). v*» (,*"• (,*"*• Cr9 v™ 11.

After a month's study of the Tenement House Problem of Honolulu, including the personal visitation and investigation of every tenement in the city by members of the Social Section, it was decided that the first thing needed was to secure the passage, if possible, of a bill at the next Legislature, restricting the building of tenements and providing for their proper control when erected. The Civic Section devoted two meetings to the study of the new Municipal Act, with especial reference to the difficulty which has arisen as to the respective powers and jurisdiction of the Mayor and Hoard of Supervisors under the Act. Both meetings were largely attended and at the last a motion was passed urging the County Attorney to proceed at once to make a test case of one of the appointments of the Board of Supervisors before the proper court so that the affairs of the city may not be longer interfered with.

It was a privilege to be able to attend the Missionary Conference of Central Japan held here today at Rev. Mr. Murry's home. The burden of the meeting seemed to be a desire for a revival and an outpouring of God's power here in Central Japan as they have had in the north. Dr. J. D. Davis gave a paper on "Conditions <>fa Revival." The people are ready for it and all Christians in the home land should pray earnestly that it may soon come. Mrs. I. G. Pierson writes from Hokkaido, in October, of God's power following the Revival, which began in Tokachi* prison last year. In her letter mention was made of the wife of a prison official who lay (King. Two physicians had said she could not live through the night. She had been a particularly zealous Buddhist, but during her illness had listened with interest to Christian teaching, and now, in the hope of comforting her in her dying moments, the prison warder and several Christian friends came to read a few passages of scripture. To their surprise she answered with a loud "Amen," and from that hour she began to mend. A weeklater she said, "I have been raised from the dead by the Jesus religion, so please give me the Jesus baptism." One of her doctors, a non-Christian, said in his amazement, "the woman has been raised from the dead," and she now goes by the name of "the woman who was raised from the dead." Just revival in Tokaclii Prison wns the * The but only a single incident in the great first awakening in the Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four large islands of Japan. The prison is a little world by itself with a population of some 2000 people, including nearly iooo prisoners, the rest being the warders and officials and their families, who live in neat cottages in the great open court. The prisoners here were the most hardened convicts in Japan, haying heen sent here from other prisons in all parts of the Empire, so that they represent the most vicious elements among the Japanese, men who have heen guilty of the heaviest crimes and are committed for long terms or for life imprisonment. Within the year 1007 nearly all the prisoners were converted. Nearly all the officials and their wives also have heen converted and baptized, and the Tokaclii Prison with its 2000 souls is now practically a Christian community. For two years previous to the wonderful awakening, Rev. and Mrs. G. P. Pierson. Rev. C. Sakamoto and others had been in definite and continuous prayer, for a special manifestation of God's power in Japan, and it was in their own field and, humanly speaking, under their own leadership that the revival began.

He was remarkably versatile. When he came here as a young man to teach he led the boys and girls of Royal School and Punahou in their sports as well as in their tasks. A strict disciplinarian and a teacher by divine right he knew how to get work out of every youngster he tackled. The life of every social party, he could organize and conduct an ideal picnic and at the same time cook the most toothsome delicacies therefor. As a nurse he was thoughtfulness and tenderness itself. When he became a minister his people found him a rare pastor formed of God for the work. "Tell Dr. Beckwith when you see him that I heard him preach 40 years ago in San l'rancisco and I've never forgotten the sermon," was the message a visitor now in Honolulu was asked to bring by a gentleman in California not connected with Dr. Beckwith's former Church there. Before it could be delivered a higher summons came for the faithful servant. The incident illustrates his hold upon men by a preaching both helpful and illuminating. Waterbury folk still hold in gratitude and reverence this minister who came to them at a time when their Church was in great need of an inspired leader. Dt. Beckwith proved to be the right man there for a forward movement. Again in Honolulu when the union of Bethel and Fort Street Churches called for a pastor of rare tact and mediating spirit no more ideal unifier could have been found than this gracious unselfish servant of his King. Dr. Beckwith had the rare power of binding all kinds of people to him in the bonds of friendship. To know him was to love him because he was master of a kindly leve that he gave freely to all. It was a benediction to meet him. It was only in his old age that we were privileged to enjoy his friendship, but it was prized as one of God's blessings that "maketh every community which he served. $ 26.35 A. B. C. F. M 60.15 A. M.

One long self-forgetful ministry made his home as nearly a picture of the heavenly city as it is given this earth to know. His last days were devoted to his widowed daughter and her four children. The mingled grace and firmness of a cultivated mind and the glory of a chastened and ripened spirit formed for these little ones an environment which no university could hope to equal. ts*» *?• «J* «J* »5* J* Welcome, Comrade. John G. Woolley is with us again. Every brave soul in Hawaii welcomes him. Here in these blessed islands this apostle of the ideal will find both congenial soil for combats not of the sword but of the mind and fellow-soldiers who love the same sort of fighting for things of eternal worth that woo and win his championing. It is good news that he is to be one of us hereafter, this his home and our comradeship his own. If in God's goodness the Nation shall intervene to end the saloon here forever, as now seems possible, the further battles of brotherhood will call out all his powers. For this seems to be the God predestined soil upon which the question of whether the East and West can live together as bona fide brothers is to be first tried to a finish. In this the crowning present problem of our time and nation it is good to welcome every tried and true soldier to these Islands to help on the right side, ji ji ji jt j* Reform Bureau's Bill. Jt The cable has brought the tidings that the International Reform Bureau has introduced into Congress a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the Territory of Hawaii and to establish government dispensaries wherein they may be sold on physicians' prescriptions alone, a record to be kept of each sale and the governor to determine where such dispensaries are to be located. This bill is drawn closely on the lines of the famous law for Indian Territory which leading legal authorities have pronounced the most effective liquor statute ever passed. That Hawaii ought to have been living under the beneficent �THE FRIEND 4 influence of such a law since the day of its annexation goes without saying. The United States Senate in I'd adopted the principle of cooperating with other civilized nations in prohibiting the sale of intoxicants to aboriginal races, yet while it was enunciating this principle to the world it was suffering the debauching to death of the Hawaiian people by the organized liquor interests of the country. It was certain that sooner or later the conscience of the Nation would be aroused over this lamentable inconsistency. Having annexed Hawaii without the consent of its native people, the Nation was bound to protect them from drink, especially in view of the fact that the Kamehameha sovereigns cotuUtently prohibited the sale of intoxicants to their people. When once Congress understands the question it will act resolutely. It behooves all public spirited citizens to inform Congress Other Considerations. The liquor men might have saved the situation if they had been willing to let public opinion here have a chance. They know that the present law is just to themselves, yet they have deliberately determined to emasculate it. It is not to he expected that the American people will endure the conditions pertaining here now wherein every bill must be scrutinized lest the liquor men smuggle in some amendment which shall nullify "the best license law ever passed." Furthermore the liquor men know that public opinion in this Territory demands the passage of the local option law. They know it would have passed two years ago but for the shady influence they brought to bear Upon men who had pledged themselves to vote for it. In this Territory where there is no middle class it is comparatively easy for the liquor interests with the enormous mainland corruption fund back of them to control the local Senate. If these interests had been honorable and fair to the people in allowing the local option bill to be enacted, Congress would in all probability never have been moved to face the question of a prohibitory law. But fair fighting has never characterized the liquor business anywhere and it is time for the Nation tr lend a hand in saving the Hawaiian* from extermination before the drink demon shall have completed its fell work. The Soldiers. Uncle Sam's large contingent of soldiers and marines who are to be stationed here also calls for national consideration. Drink in the tropics is far more pernicious than in temperate climes. Has bers of its young men to a climate like ours and then expose them to the tender mercies of an unscrupulous liquor combination like that which menaces the future of this Territory ? We believe the Xation will answer this question in no uncertain way. If the proposed bill be passed by Congress the families and friends of the thousands of soldiers soon to be stationed here will feel secure in the conviction that this cormorant trade will not be able to exert its tremendous power in the effort to debauch and destroy these men in the insidious way possible in such a far away post as Hawaii. In fact the more the question is studied the stronger the arguments are for the decisive interference of the Nation to rid this Territory forever of the evil of intoxicants. God give the cause His victory. The Rocklikc House. Once more the Hawaiians in the Legislature are earning the deep gratitude of the entire people of this Territory by standing true to public interests. The House, the popular branch, is proving the champion of education, honesty, temperance and the people's rights, and this House is controlled by Hawaiians. All honor to these faithful friends for their splendid defence of their race against the liquor evil. Their defeat of the "more-liquor bill" as Mr. Woollcy calls the measure introduced by Senator Moore was a notable achievement. Every patriot expects them to do the like by all future amendments presented by the liquor forces. The splendid stand of Representative Pong on behalf of the schools and teachers of the Territory is fast pushing him to the head as a favorite ol the people. No more insidious attack upon the welfare of Hawaii has ever been made than the proposition to turn all children between the ages of 6 and 8 md over 14 out of our public schools. Fortunately the House under Mr. Long's leadership treated this with the contempt it deserved after a public hearing more enthusiastic perhaps than any other ever held in the Territory. The good news tlso comes that the House will tolerate no reduction of teachers' salaries, but will add a 'large sum to the estimates sub■nitted by the Governor, which considerably cut those prepared by the Superintendent of Education. "More children in our schools and better teachers" should be Hawaii's motto. To vote an extra tax to get laborers and to cut education would have been a disgrace to this fair land. Thank God this anomaly seems to have been averted. The tax for more laborers has been decreed. Well and good. Let it be parallelled hy a splendid April, 1909. educational advance. More taxes for schools would not hurt us one whit here. Mainland figures. In this connection it is well to face concrete facts. The wealth of any nation in the last analysis is grounded upon its agricultural produce. In the year 1908 the total agricultural production of the American mainland amounted in value to seven billions seven hundred and seventyeight millions of dollars. The population as estimated by the governors of the several States on January 1, 1908, was 88.787.058. This makes the per capita production of agricultural wealth in the mainland $87.60. In the same year Governor Frear's estimate of population in Hawaii was 170,000 and Dr. Wilcox's figures for the value of agricultural production in Hawaii for 1908 is $46,088,-300 or $271.10 per capita. That is every person in Hawaii produced on the average more than 3 times as much agriculturally as every person in the mainland United States. But the wealth produced annually on the mainland should include not only agricultural output but also all mineral, manufacturing and marine products. Just what these were for 1908 it is not possible at this writing to say as statistics arc not at hand. For the year 1904 the per capita value of the total manufactures were $96.31. Bat in this total there appears a very large proportion of agricultural and mineral products that are estimated under these respective heads, so if we took this figure $96.31 we should be counting certainly one-third or one-half thereof twice. Marine products amounted according to the last available statistics to 60 cents per capita and mineral products in 1907 to $24.50 per capita. During 1908 this was probably lessened because of the business depression. Now even if we take the figures $96.31 as correct for the per capita value of manufactures we get a total as follows: PKR CAPITA MAINLAND PRODUCTION OF WEALTH 1908 Manufactures Agriculture Mineral Products Marine Total 96.31 87.60 27.20 60 | 211.71 Hawaii's per capita agricultural output alone was $271.10. But the figure $211.71 is much too high because of the uncorrected amount $96.31 assigned to manufactures. Hawaii then is far better able to support its schools than the mainland. But what is the truth of the case ? The following table tells it: �5 THE FRIEND April, 1909.

Certainly our record is one to make us blush. With our vast production of wealth we are absolutely niggardly in the maintenance of our public schools. 1908 *In 1904-5 One More Leader Called. At the time for our going to press Dr. Bishop is passing into the larger life. THE Friend, of which he was editor so long and with such distinguished ability and power, will devote much of its next issue to his memory. Titus Coan and Sereno Bishop arc the two names which will longest be associated with the history of Hawaii during the nineteenth century by scientific men. Yet their contributions to religious progress here were even more notable than those they made to science. The story of Dr. Bishop's life is one of rare charm, for he was gifted with insight into two spheres which once thought of as wide apart are seen by our age together. D. S. REMAOKSPTNHE ASTORATE REV.E.OFD.D. G. BECKWITH, IN CHURCH UNION CENTRAL 1887-1893. Having been requested to add a few words on Dr. Beckwith's relations to us as the first pastor of the Central Union Church, I take pleasure in doing so. When this Church was constituted by the union of the Bethel Union Church with the Fort Street Church, it was felt by all that no one else was as well qualified as Dr. Beckwith to perfect the proposed union, to foster the spiritual life of the united Church, and to organize and lead its members in every branch of Christian work. The public service of his installation as pastor took place on the evening of the 20th of November. 1887. He did not come to us as a stranger, nor as an inexperienced beginner in pastoral work, but after twenty-eight years of experience as a pastor in San Fran- cisco and in Waterbury, Conn. He brought us "the rich, ripe counsels of an enlarged acquaintance with spiritual community, and ready to follow his leadership.

The secret of his influence for good lay ii. his deep and rich religious experience, his abiding consciousness of union with Christ. The inward sunshine in his soul manifested itself unconsciously in his outward life, brought cheer to the needy and sorrowing, and encouraged those who were oppressed by doubt or a sense of sin to open their hearts to him. By the long discipline through which he had passed, he had been "tried as gold is tried, and refined as silver is refined," to fit him for special service to God and his fellowmen. lands. The strong, tender, generous sympathy of his spirit, his absolute sincerity and unselfishness, combined with a wise discretion and insight into human nature, made him loved and revered by all who knew him. He took a special interest in the children and youth of the congregation, many of whom were led by God's blessing on his labors, to enlist in his Master's service. Many sacred and tender memories are connected with his administration of the Lord's Supper, as well as with other occasions of joy or sorrow in which he presided. It was his privilege to conduct the services connected with the removal of the Church and congregation from the Fort Street Church to this building. The corner stone of the new Church was laid with impressive ceremonies and appropriate addresses by some of its members as well as by representatives of sister Churches, on June 4th, ißor. On the 29th of November, 1892, a memorable farewell service was held in the old Church, in which Dr. Beckwith preached an eloquent farewell sermon, full of interesting and touching reminiscences of the history of the Fort Street Church, in the founding of which he had taken an active part. The dedicatory services, which were held in this Church Dec. 4th, 1892, were solemn and impressive. In particular, that part of the service in which the pastor and people joined in dedicating this house to the service of God, and in declaring the purposes for which it was to be used, might well be pondered by every member of this Church. After six years of unremitting labor, Dr. Beckwith, whose years now approached the limit of three score and ten, and whose bodily strength had begun to fail, resigned the pastorate of this Church on Nov. 26th, 1807, and accepted 1 call to the "Foreign Protestant Church of Makawao," Maui. His resignation was accepted with deep regret, expressed in a letter and a set of resolutions adopted unanimously by the Church. His pastorate closed Jan. 14th, 1894.

We are thankful, however, that by this �6 April, 1909 THE FRIEND change his valuable life was prolonged for fifteen peaceful and happy years, fraught with blessing to the people of Maui.

PROPOSED CONFERENCE ON CHURCH UNION. The Hawaiian Church Chronicle for February in an article by Bishop Restarick contained the following paragraph: "And now brethren, supporters of The FRIEND, members of the one Catholic Church by baptism, professing with our mouths in substance the same faith, partakers with one spirit, what are we going: to do about our unhappy divisions? Will you pray with us for unity and concord? Will you meet with us in conference to talk over the evils and sins of division? Or shall we go on wasting men and means? I know of no district in the world where, by overlapping work in small communities, money is wasted in missionary effort as it is in Hawaii. The Friend says unity is to be brought about by 'aligning ourselves in every good word and work.' We have the kindliest feeling towards the people whom The Friend represents, we are together in social life and in all sorts of good works, but it is impossible to have workers striving to advance denominational life and to avoid such things as those of which we have spoken, and we have not spoken with bitterness but with sadness, and rather as an attempt to clear matters up than to create difficulties." In response to this request the following letter was written: "The Right Rev. Henry B. Restarick, "Honolulu. "My Dear Sir:— "The Hawaiian Board at its last meeting. Friday, March 5. voted unanimously to appoint a committee to confer with you and with such committee as you may wish to appoint, on Church Union.

We are sincerely desirous that the conference which you have suggested may result in a closer fellowship and in establishing amone us the utmost Christian comity. "With the prayer that we may be truly guided in this matter by the Spirit of the Master, and with sincere expression of Christian love for you and your fellow-laborers and of good wishes for the * * * work you have in hand, I am, in behalf of the Hawaiian Board, "Yours sincerely, "Wm.

Brewster Oleson, the corresponding secretary of the Hawaiian Board. He informs me that the Hawaiian Board has appointed a committee of three of which you are chairman to confer with such committee as I may appoint. "I assure you that I appreciate highly the spirit of the letter and the kindly sentiments expressed, and I comply with the request of naming as our committee, myself, the Rev. Canon Simpson and the Rev. W. H. Bliss. "While I am fully conscious of the difficulties which face us, difficulties which we did not create, but which we inherited, I believe that this action of the Board is one of the signs that the Holy Spirit is leading Christians towards unity. "I shall be glad to hear from you as to a time and place of meeting. "Faithfully yours, "Henry B. Restarick, "Bishop of Honolulu." The committee of three appointed by the Board consists of Messrs.

It is possible for this conference to arrive at some mutual understanding of far-reaching value to the cause of Christ in this Territory. To this end.

Gilman, which contains interesting reminiscences of the late Rev. Samuel C. Damon, D.D.: It was a pleasure to hear from you whose crowded busy life is so full for others, a pleasure not easily put down with ink and paper, one that opens memories, recollections that stretch away into past years. As the mists pass up the valley and reveal the beauties that form it into a picture, over which golden thoughts bring sunshine. "In the early days of island life." Yes, and when your Father was (at the entering) and in the midst of his busy career. Yes! the Young Man and as partner, the young wife. Counsellor, helpmate and mother, who with him completed a happy united life. How easy it is even after so many years have passed to recall the most happy, cheery manner that was so natural to him. One did not have to wait to get acquainted, the hearty shake of his hand, a glance into those sympathetic eyes, the cordial interest that were spontaneous, gave him at once a hold on those who came in contact with him. I may say I think in truth, that he was a friend of everybody and everybody's friend. Whether religionist or worlding, he was alike to all and held by all in high regard. His calling as the Seaman's Chaplain laid upon him a delicate duty as well as service— ■ duty which he had the insight to recognize, meet and fill to the appraisal of all. And he so won the regard of the men of the forecastle as well as the cabin that he was alike the gentleman, the Christian, the friend; alike to al, without distinction of station. It was not an unfamiliar sight to see him drive his white horse and open two-seated carriage down Nmianu street of a forenoon, stop on the corner of King street, perhaps, with a good-morning to the keeper of the Blonde saloon—waiting till someone of his sea-going flock came up the street from the landing at the wharf. It might be an Admiral, a Captain, a Mate, or only a foremast ward. He would not get past the man who held the reins, and after a few warmhearted words of welcome, one saw the new-comer in the carriage driving round town, seeing the sights, the driver never loosin" the opportunity to tell the good news of which he was so fine a living representative. The drive over, they were just back in time to load up again—with the same subject continued. No wonder he was e'er long Father Damon the Beloved. But it was other attentions he paid—that I knew of—was there in the "hospital" (no Queen's Hospital then) a poor sick "boy" or man. The Chaplain was among the first to find him out and minister in things temporal and spiritual, to the great comfort of mind and body. And if. as was often the case, the last words of consolation and Christian hope fell on closing sensibilities, the pressure of the friendly hand as the waters of the river came �7 THE FRIEND April, 1909.

In spite of stormy weather, the recent meeting of the Hawaii Association at Kohala was well attended. In fact it lias been many a long day since such a large gathering has been seen in the old lole Church. It reminded the Kamaainas of the old days when this commodious stone Church used to be filled to overflowing. And the reminder of former days was just as striking outside as inside; for ranged all about the premises were many vehicles and saddle horses, a score or more of each. The culminating day was on Sunday, the 21st, when the Church building was well-nigh filled with a large, attentive audience numbering three hundred and ninety-five. All the Churches of the island were represented and every pastor was present with a single exception. The Sunday Schools and Endeavor Societies were also well represented. "Why, this is like the old days!" was an exclamation heard more than once. It was certainly a demonstration of the vitality of the Churches on this our big island. What with the splendid meeting at Hilo last June, and this really remarkable gathering at Kohala, the historic Churches of Hawaii have occasion to realize anew their strength and the greatness of their opportunity. Jr9 J* »3* Two things specially contributed to the success of the Kohala meeting, viz., the presence of so many of the leaders in cur Board work; and the recent quite thorough touring of the island by these same leaders, turning their faces toward this Hawaiian Jerusalem, and coming up to Mount Zion fresh from the activities and problems of this our largest and neediest island. Thus came our venerable but wondrously active Apostle, Rev. O. H. Gitlick, and his wife from their visit among the Churches of Kona; and our Kona Luke, the physician, Rev. A. S. Baker, M.D., with his wife and mother, and our youthful Timothy, Rev. H. P. Judd, who already has so many names in the Churches that he will not mind one more, who had come through Hilo and Kau and Kona, and since the meeting has gone back through Waimea and Hamakua to Hilo again, thus completing the circuit of the island; and the Rev. E. S. our Hawaiian Timothy in reality, fresh from a visit among the Churches in Puna, and Kau, and Kona; and our indefatigable Nakuina, always to the fore with his earnest and consecrated cooperation, keeping just ahead of the late freshet in his journeys through Puna, Hilo and Hamakua. These men who had got close to the hearts of our Churches were the vanguard of a fine representation of men and women from these widely scattered Churches who came up to the house of the Lord for prayer and conference. With them came the devoted ministers on whom rests the burden of our Churches. That so many leaders should be present, fresh from intimate contact with the needs of the field, was the real secret of the enthusiasm and harmony and efficiency of this Kohala meeting. fc9* »5* April, 1909. Tv-four inches in two days. On account of the bridges from that point on being all washed away, the trip was turned into a retreat, and after sundry wet experiences, the drenched pilgrims reached Wailuku in season for the monthly ministers' meeting. This was well attended, the pastors from Lahaina, Wailuku, Kahului and Makawao being present, with several Japanese and Chinese evangelists, and a fairly good representation of Hawaiian pastors, notwithstanding the storm. Owing to railroad and other facilities it is comparatively easy to bring together at Wailuku a strong body of ministers of different nationalities. In this respect Maui has a distinct advantage nor almost every other island locality. And this advantage shows itself in the frequency with which our workers in that vicinity are able to get together for fellowship and mutual encouragement. The exercises were of a high order and of great value to all in attendance. By such gatherings, much is being accomplished in supplementing the previous training of our ministers and evangelists, and in promoting a sense of responsibility and of esprit dc corps of utmost value. Too much praise cannot be given to Rev. J. F. Cowan, pastor of the Kohala Union Church, for his kindly cooperation in making the recent meeting such a success. It is a great thing for our Board work to have a man in his position thoroughly helpful and sympathetic toward our workers in the field. It distinctly (5* »(?• O* makes for unity and efficiency.

He never wrote a line of music, but he has inspired more music than any other man. He never painted a picture, but painting was born in his birth. He wrote no great books, but he inspired the most splendid literature the world has seen. He wrought no specific reform, but wherever his cross has gone slavery has been abolished, war has been ameliorated and pestilence has disappeared. The Christian looks back through this ever-increasing illumination and sees in the far-off century the Star from which it comes, and believes that in him he gets the answer to the cry, "Oh, that I knew where I might find him!"—Lyman Abbott. �THE FRIEND 10 Men Working For Men PAUL SUPER POCKET FLASHLIGHTS. The Y. M. C. A. is pushing another Bible reading course, called "Pocket Flashlights." Beginning with the book of Matthew, a few verses are to be read each day, with about fifteen lines of the tersest, livest, most stimulating comments one ever saw. Thousands of men in the States are following this course, and the Association expects to have over ioo men using it by the middle of May. For the busy man who wants a drink from a real spring before beginning his work, and has but five or ten minutes in which to take it, this course is just the thing. The pamphlet costs five cents. Men in office, shop, school and barracks will soon be using it in Honolulu. educational director. A great forward step in Association work in Honolulu will be the securing of an educational director. A college trained man will soon be added to the force, to give all his time to promoting the educational work of the Association. His duties will lie along three lines ; the direction of the Association Institute, which is the night school of the Y. M. C. A.; the planning and securing of educational lectures, to be delivered at frequent intervals in the building; and arranging educational lectures of a most practical nature for the men in the various shops, barracks, and so forth. It is also likely that he will give some time to developing and unifying the night school work in several of the missions and settlements, coordinating this work with that of the Y. M. C. A. This man should be able to develon a night school of two hundred students this coming year. - THEATER MEETINGS. The Religious Work Committee output the Art Theater to a new use. Each day at noon, during the week preceding Easter, a religious meeting was held there, the managers having graciously donated the use of their building. The meetings were half an hour long, with music and an address on a religious topic by Rev. C. C. Wilson, of the Christian Mission. Men went to these meetings who would not attend at other places. CREATING EFFICIENCY. The Association Institute, which closed for the summer the last of March, has enrolled 114 students this year, in II subjects. A study of the nationalities is interesting: American, British and German, 63; Portuguese. 22; Chinese, 16; Hawaiian, 13. This is larger than last year, and much larger than the year before. The proportion of white students will please many, who have had the idea that the Association was not reaching these young men. A larger number than usual are taking the final examinations this year, and that indicates an improvement in the quality of our work. We are gratified to learn that as a result of our instruction, men are getting better positions, or larger wages in their former positions. This means that we are improving the quality of Honolulu citizenship. THAT REMINDS US. April, 1909 THE ANTILLES. Repeated calls have at last led the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. to organize work in Cuba and Porto Rico. Three exprienced secretaries have been sent, one for each of the big islands, and one for general supervision, and a vigorous work for the 6,000,000 people of the West Indies begun. We will bid this work God speed, as one more element in preventing the annexation of Cuba. Thus we see the relation of foreign missions to the pocket book. A TRIUMPH IN CHINA. The Association secretaries were largely responsible for the conversion of Mr. Chang Po Ling, one of the most influential leaders in North China. The president of the Imperial University said, "This is a conversion of far greater significance than that of all the Christians in the past 40 years in Tientsin." EARNED HONORS. One of America's leading statesmen said the other day, that non-Christian men should subscribe to Y. M. C. A. work, purely as a business proposition, if for no other reason, as its output in character made both life and property Gafer. This is the basis, a business proposition, on which almost all our railroads build large Y. M. C. A. buildings and support the work, the basis on which corporations such as manufacturies and street railways provide equipment for Y. M. C. A. work for their employees, and such concerns as Pell Telephone Co., Westinghouse Air Drake Co., Lupton Sheet Metal Co. have the Association conduct educational work for their employees, paying part or all of the fees, and even providing important equipment for the class work. Business men have found that here is an institution with a tried method and sound principles; a high ideal, but both feet on the ground. One of the biggest social affairs in Washington in recent years was the dinner at the New Willard Hotel in honor of the tenth anniversary of the presidency of Mr. S. W. Woodward of the Washington, D.

During his administration the membership has grown from 164 to 5000, and the nroperty from $115,000 to $600,-000. Mr. Woodward, who, by the way, is known to some of our local men, doubtless felt his years of service were appreciated. MARINE BARRACKS NOW. A BUSINESS TRIP. Meetings have been begun at the Marine Barracks, or Camp Very, as it is properly called. The Association has had its eye there for some time. An attempt was made to get the men together at noon one day, with the large result of four men. A better time was chosen, and at the next meeting 232 men came. \Tow each Friday night at 6 o'clock Mr. Ebersole, Mr. Richards and the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., with some one to play or sing special music go to the Camp, and a meeting of a little less than an hour is held. Mr. Ebersole is giving a series of talks on"The Man of Galilee." The night of pay day the meeting was small, but an average of over 100 is expected. The directors have voted to send the General Secretary to the States on a business trip, extending over the months of May and June. The chief items will be the annual conference of Association employed officers at Omaha, the first week in June, and a visit to some of the southern Y. M. C. A. buildings, to see how these associations have planned their equipment and work to suit a warm climate. A new feature in Y. M. C. A. equipment is roof tennis courts and handball rooms, and a study of the practical problems involved in these arrangements is to be made. The trip may include one of the great western college conferences. �11 THE FRIEND "Among the new features at the Baldwin House are the reading room and library indoors, and the play ground outdoors. "I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly," said one who loved little children, and who will dare explain his words to exclude children from oarticipation in the blessing of the abundant life or deny that swings and other play things may help his little ones to realize something of that life.

HALE ALOHA RESTORED LAHAINA Apropos of the' meeting of the Maui Association in Lahaina, and of the renewed interest in Halealoha, we are happy to present to the readers of The Friend the following communication written at our request: "You express a wish to hear from us at Lahaina and learn what may be doing here by your various friends. You ask about Halealoha, the old building which in the early missionary days was used as a school and church. It is again in use for church purposes as the parish house of the First Christian Church formed in these islands. The mid-week meetings and social functions of the Wainee Church are held in it. It is also the place of the English preaching services conducted by Rev. C. G. Burnham. There was no formal opening of the hall for these services. The next Sunday evening after his arrival at Lahaina in Octo- tthe HALE ALOHA INTERIOR hall opened without any furs or ers to receive him and the people :red to hear his message. The services in English were begun by having one and have been continued with encouraging attendance and interest by having another one on each succeeding Sunday evening. The pastor and people of the Wainee Church cordially support these services. While the congregations are youthful in point of age and diverse in point of nationality there are always some of the older Hawaiian members of the church present and they always give the preacher a« warm hand grasp and a hearty aloha. Mr. Burnham has a regular appointment with the Jun i or Endeavor and his wife has a class of young men in the Sunday REV. D. W. WHITE school. "Mr. White besides his pastoral cure of the Wainee Church is shepherding the Olowalu flock and once in the month crosses Auau channel and spends a Sunday with the church on Lanai. He rejoices with that church in the return, recently, to its fold of a number of members who had separated from it and joined another body. The work at the Baldwin House goes on under Mrs. Simpson and Miss Clapham. The Kindergarten is full and running over of little folks of all the races represented in Lahaina's population. It is a heartening sight to look upon the joyous life of these little ones, and many a mother, perhaps with a little one upon her back, may be seen at door or window, viewing the happy little ones at their work. ...» - ._..»..» CAMPBELL PARK, . lahaina parsonaok "I suppose you will be interestedalso to karn that the Campbell Park, given by the late Mrs. Campbell Parker, is now filled with seats and is open to the public, and that the house in the park, also Mrs. Parker's gift, refitted and turned to face the street and sea, is now the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Burnham.

Smoke, Fire, and Lucifer Matches. There are innumerable interesting points of progress of which mention might be made. Some of these are not especially Hawaiian, but points of worldwide progress. My father built the substantial stone house at Waimea, Kauai, used as the parsonage in the few past years by some of the pastors of the Waimea L'nion Church. He moved to occupy the new station of Koloa in 1835 when for a time he occupied a thatched native house. One of the domestics wishing to take a smoke and aware that tobacco smoke was not welcomed in doors, threw a coal of fire out the window purposing to enjoy a smoke in the rear of the house. The breeze drew the live coal to the thatched wall of the house. It was some years ere the family recovered from the disaster of the sudden conflagration. Soon after this, sulphur matches, called lucifer matches, were invented to the great comfort of cooks, of smokers and of all mankind, relieving from the careful preservation of live coals in the ashes, or from the labor of the Hawaiian art of making fire by friction, rubbing a hard wood chisel upon a piece of soft wood. A box of matches in the hand of that maiden would have saved our house. The Book. Sir Walter Scott on his death-bed asked his friend to read to him out of the book. Lockheart replied, what book? Scott said, the book, there is but one book. The Hawaiian is not a great reader, but the narents and grandparents of the Hawaiians of today were great readers of the Book, and they were believers in the teachings of the book. Higher criticism had not played havoc with their minds. Bible lore filled their minds, Bible phrases affected their daily speech, and in a measure its teachings guided their lives. I remember well the great joy of the believers upon receiving the translation of the New Testament completed in 1837. The translation and publication of the whole bible was accomplished in 1839. The Newspaper. The newspaper was an early gift of Christianity, or of civilization to the Hawaiian. The Lama Hawaii or Hawaiian Torch, issued at Lahainaluna in February, 1834, and the Kumu Hawaii or Ha- waiian Teacher printed in Honolulu in of the same year, were the first newspapers in the language, and were issued by the missionaries. These were succeeded in later years by many literary ventures under different names, as Ka Hae Hawaii, Ka Makaainana, Ke Auokoa, Ka Elele, Ke Kuokoa, Ke Alaula and several others. Ke Kuokoa, founded by my brother, L. H. Gulick, in the sixties, and later carried on by Henry M. Whitney, is still issued weekly by the Hawaiian Gazette Co., Ltd., and the Hoaloha may be counted the lineal descendant of the Alaula. These papers were well read by Hawaiians in the past, and their successors still have wide influence for good upon political, religious and educational questions. Artesian Water.

Through the influence of live stock, the native thatch grass, or pili has given place to the manicnie. The Changes of Flora. Perhaps four-fifths of the trees, shrubs and oranmental flowering plants to be found in Honolulu's gardens are exotic, having been brought to these islands within the past fifty or sixty years. In my premises are to be found the native Hlawaiian kukui, guava and cocoanut. The remainder of the flora, amounting to perhaps twenty varieties, are all of late importation, and other gardens will present a much wider range of plants nearly all lately imported. Sugar cane seems to have been raised from time immemorial, though improved varieties have been imported. The Thatched Cottage. The thatched cot- tages fifty years ago the homes of all the people, have been sup- planted by the North West lumber house with shingled or corrugated iron roof. The latter being a more healthy abode than the former; and now even the thatch grass, a species of wild oats, can be found in but few localities. The changes in the vegetable world are fully paralleled in the world of animated nature. In 1793 the voyager Vancouver landed the first horned cattle on Hawaii. In 1803 a Capt. Cleveland landed the first horses on both HaHAWAIIAN THACHKD HOUSE AND FAMILY. waii and Maui. The changes, both to the forms of life and to climate of our tropical islands favored the the face of nature.

But the study of all are of value only as changes bearing upon the condition and development of man by Him who "giveth to all life and breath and all things, and hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." carriers. Attitude of Hawaiians Towards Alien Races. We have daily cause to admire the many manly and generous characteristics of the native Hawaiians, who have for one hundred years given such hearty welcome, first to the AngloSaxon race, and of later years to the Asiatic races who have come in upon them in such overwhelming numbers. The gospel of manhood's sonship to one heavenly father, impressed upon the plastic Hawaiian by the missionaries has borne the peaceable fruits of righteousness, and in all the changes of most vital interest to the aborigines has saved them from riot, race war, or any united breach of good fellowship with the incoming peoples. Upon the passing away of their chiefs, the fealty of the people was held by the missionaries whom they judged to be their best friends. The missionary fathers have passed away, and the people who from time immemorial had been hero worshippers, are now left to be intelligent law-abiding freemen. In no part of the world do we find a population of more mixed races and nowhere do we find the manhood of man more fully and cordially respected. The Chinaman is not liable to have his queue pulled nor the Japanese lady her peculiar dress ridiculed. The respect of man for his manhood is cordially conceded rather than for his education, his wealth, the color of his skin, or of his hair, or for the race in which he chanced to be born. Hawaii's Influence on the Orient. I believe that Hawaii has had great influence upon both Japan and China. The leaders of Japan knew how during the past century England had absorbed India, how during the past Spain had appropriated Mexico and South America. Fear of like treatment from foreign nations led her to bar out the foreigner with scrupulous care until the persuasive tactics of Commodore Perry induced them to take down the bars. Then they learned how the autonomy of Hawaii, the sovereignty of her kings and her courts of law, were respected by America and the nations of Europe. They learned 13 THE FRIEND sionary teaching alone will prepare Turkey, China, Siam and Persia for admission to the family of enlightened nations. King Kalakaua's Tour. When King Kalakaua made a tour of the world in 1881, after visiting the Mikado and the high officers of the Japanese government at Tckyo, he came to Kobe. On landing he was at once greeted by officials who expected him to be the guest of the governor, and, of course, to go directly to the residence of that dignitary. But instead, to their surprise, he inquired for the residence of Mrs. Gulick, on Kobe Hill, and made his first call upon my mother, who had been fifty years a missionary to his country, a fitting tribute, and of healthful significance to the Japanese officials. I was at the time absent from my Japanese home, on a furlouhg, and making a tour of the globe, completing my circuit a little before Kalakaua completed his tour, being myself so far as I know, the first Hawaiian-born person to complete the circuit of the globe. My pictures of Hawaii have related almost exclusively to the native Hawaiian race, which now comprises but about one-fourth of the population of our islands, though in some respects the most picturesque. Their uplifting and final admission to full American citizenship, is the happy culmination of their career under missionary tutelage. Nothing short of the faithful labor of a generation of missionary teachers, could have fitted them for the high privilege of American citizenship. I agree with a sentiment uttered by Rev. F. C. Powell, upon his late return to San Francisco, from Honolulu, "That the Hawaiian Territory is the most important distributing center of civilization in the World." that humble and little Hawaii, had become an enlightened people and had received a welcome among the Christian nations of earth. These simple facts, most undoubtedly had great influence in leading Japan's rulers to open the door' for the incoming of Christian missionaries, and prompted them in their eager desire for admission to the circle of Christian and enlightened nations, to hope for a like recognition. If little and lately heathen Hawaii, could have her autonomy acknowledged, why could not she? Japan waited long, but not until she abolished trial by torture, not until the proclamation of a constitution granting full religious liberty and the establishment of enlightened courts of justice could the Christian nations entrust their citizens to be fully ruled and tried by the government of Japan. When these ends were attained, America and the nations of Europe A NEW CANTATA. abolished their Consular Courts, ceasA cantata in Japanese entitled "The ed to exercise their claims for extra Man of Sorrows," has just been issued territorial rights, and treated Japan as the Methodist Publishing House of by on a parity with themselves.

Leaving the Volcano, I journeyed to Kapapala ranch and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Monsarrat for a few days, then went over to Waiohinu to spend Sunday. This little village possesses among other things a brass band, and its excellent music calls forth the worthy praise from resident and visitor alike. On two evenings I was surprised to hear how well it played. It compares favorably with any band in the Territory. Sunday morning I was present at the Church services at Waiohinu. The Sunday School was well attended, and the number of children and young men was noticeably large. I gave a talk after the teaching of the lesson, and then in the morning service preached the sermon. Rev. E. S. Timoteo was present and, after a conference with him, it was decided that we should travel together through the Kona district visiting Churches, Sunday Schools, Christian Endeavor Societies and individuals. Sunday afternoon I rode down to Honuapo and visited the Sunday School of that little village. At Waiohinu that evening Mr. Timoteo and I took the principal part in the C. E. meeting at the request of the members. Monday I rode back to Pahala and became the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. ( >gg for a couple of days. Before leaving Waiohinu, there was a meeting in the Church to commemorate the birthday of cur first President and addresses appropriate to the occasion were made by Mr. Timoteo, Mr. Kamoku, the pastor of the Church, and myself. At Pahala that evening we held an enthusiastic meeting in the interests of the Sunday School and nearly all the Protestant Hawaiians were present. On returning to Waiohinu on Wednesday there was the regular mid-week prayer-meeting which Mr. Timoteo and I converted into a farewell meeting for we were to leave the next day for Kona. i IN SOUTH KONA. From Waiohinu to Hookena school house is a long distance, over forty miles, some of the way being over the old lava flows of Kahuku and the recent flow of 1907. In a carriage one feels the unevenness of a rough road and this long stretch of rough driving is not eagerly looked forward to by many. But to be mounted on a splendid horse it is a far different matter and the journey then becomes a positive pleasure, especially if one has never before taken that road.

After lunch and a visit to the school and the new court house we went to the old summer palace of the late King Kalr.kaua and admired the outlook upon the sea, the huge rollers tumbling in over the rocks, and in the yard of the palace we were pleased to find many fine specimens of the kon tree, now quite rare. In the evening the sweet-toned bell of the huge native Church called to worship many who were interested in Sunday School work. In the audience were a number of Chinese children who seemed to be much interested in the service. The next morning Mr. Timoteo and I rode from Kailua to Kohanaiki and held a delightful meeting in the Church of thai community. After a pleasant luncheon we rode up to the Kalaoa Chapel and addressed a large audience principally of children who came over from the public school after the day's session.

Among the results of the meeting we may mention these: Resolutions of respect to the memory of Rev. Dr. Bishop, so long identified with the Association, first as pastor of the Hana Church, and afterwards as teacher at Lahainaluna; and to the memory of Rev. Dr. Beckwith who had been the consistent friend of the ministers and Churches of Maui throughout his long residence on the island : appointment of committee to make recommendations regarding licensure of preachers; reference of matter of organization of a Church at Puunene to committee of nine ; also matter of ordination of A.

It is a pleasure to welcome Hon. John G. Woolley and his helpful wife back to the Hawaiian Islands. We need them more than most people realize. The temperance education of the children needs the strong reinforcement of a continued campaign against the most powerful enemy the home has ever known. We have so many nationalities, the standard of morals is frequently so low, and men of influence are so apathetic, that there is great danger of having a territory drunken in body and decayed at heart because of its dissolute population. There is undoubted liability of a citizenship full of selfishness and graft am seamed with the rot of degraded minds and bodies.

He will also take the task of editing the meagre Space allowed for temperance news in the columns of The Fkikni>.

For three years he has had a growing Sunday school on one of the plantations. In order to break it up the Buddhists announced that they would open a Sunday school at the same hour in the temple, and ordering the children to quit the Christian Sunday school and come to theirs. That looked pretty dark, for who would dare to take the consequences of refusal. There could be no other outlookhut the inglorious ending of the Christian Sunday school, for the parents of nearly all the children were Buddhists.

The cover presents a beautiful and suggestive design of the sun rising behind a steepled Church and graceful palms, while in the blue sky studded with stars is the word "Tomo." The whole design is suggestive the oneness of our Christian aim. The Church and palm trees typify Christian Hawaii; the star spangled sky, America ; the great ball of light, Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun; while the word "Tomo" shining in silvery light among the stars expresses most aptly the bond of friendly union which is effected by the teachings of Jesus Christ.

It looked as though we would close the year with a debt of kbOQt $3,000, and it seemed that we ought to get that money. We have. Thanks to the generosity of one of our friends (who has not given us permission to use his name in this connection) we expect to close the year with a small balance. This calls for PRAISE rather than APPEAL. In such a connection the Salvation Army people always call for a "volley,"— which consists in a chorus of Halle- lujahs. What more fitting ending of the column, or the year? T.R. I Sereno Edwards Bishop was one of the most forceful men these islands ever produced. The first impression which he made upon a new acquaintance was strength, the second grace. Physically, he was a vigorous specimen of manhood, able for hard tasks and in love with them. But his mind was even ruggeder and sturdier than his body, lie was a rare combination of theologian and scientist. If he had devoted himself solely to investigation of natural phenomena, he would have attained great distinction because he possessed three qualities in unusual degree. He could see things as they arc. lie was patient in observing. And he owned a scientific imagination. His discovery of the Bishop rings illustrates this combination of traits. He was very happ.' in his inductions, his guesses. Therefore it was always a delight to talk with him, He was never dull. Whether one agreed with him or not he was always illuminating. He had the blessed faculty of begetting thot, so that a conversation upon a tentative or somewhat hazy viewpoint resulted in clear conviction, quite independently of the special opinion held by Dr. Bishop concerning the matter under discussion. This is a very unusual gift and gave to him a peculiar distinction. Dr. Bishop was exceedingly openminded and at the same time very tenacious of his own opinions. He formed his mind slowly after due consideration and was not inclined thereafter to change it. But he was too keen witted to be stubborn. His dislike to abandoning a position once won and held inclined him to warmth in its defense. But he was so used to mulling things over that his opponent's arguments were given subsequent faithful consideration, and if they stood test, they were accorded full weight. It was therefore no infrequent experience to have Dr. Bishop exclaim some days or weeks after a spirited debate "You have convinced me on further thot that you are right and I have come over to your view." This trait added a lovableness to his mental equipment that constituted one of his chief charms. 3 The Friend No. 5 In theology Dr. Bishop had been trained a strict Calvinist. But even as a young man when he first came to Hawaii in mission work he had been forced by his keen mind to abandon some of the extreme positions of this system so that he was looked at askance by the harder shelled older theologians here. He held his own, however, and as is so often the case found himself during his latter years classed as one of the more conservative thinkers. But his openness of mind was marked even up to the close of his life and he displayed an unusual readiness to change his fixed views upon reasonable evidence. By nature he was a dogmatist and in the heat of a theological discussion there could be no mistaking his view. But even as has been noted in connection with questions purely scientific so in apprehension of religious truth he was progressive and moved on measurably in response to the tlr'nking of the day. When to all this was added a singular frankness, a deference to the individuality of the other man, the gentle courtesy so natural to this genial clime, and a real interest in persons the product of the indwelling Christ, it was little wonder that all who met Dr. Bishop were deeply impressed with his grace of bearing. • He was essentially a missionary and His personal relaloved his calling. tion to Jesus was first in his life. Next came the great interests of God's Kingdom among men. But God's world was to him a real part of that Kingdom and hence his vital sympathy with nature in all her manifestations. It was the spirit of Him who notes the sparrow's fall. Dr. Bishop like his Puritan forebears was an ardent patriot. When the question either of allowing these islands to lapse into barbarism or of maintaining the upward march of civilization was forced upon the people here, there was no hesitancy in his mind. He took up his pen and became the doughtiest champion of the cause of progress that Hawaii had. His services in this controversy were second to those of no other man. His clear expositions exerted wide influence thru the United States and helped greatly in paving the way for annexation. The issue has justified his foresight. The splendid religious �THE FRIEND 4 progress made by the llawaiians since their Churches have found themselves during the last few y.ears. their unique growth in self-government and their industrial progress constitute history's vindication of the course for which he so valiantly contended. There is little need to add that Dr. Bishop believed that the chief cause of the real advancement, which he expected would be achieved under the new regime, would be the emancipation of religion incident to a closer union of Hawaii with the United States. This opinion is now being fought out and we believe successfully. At heart Dr. Bishop was singularly childlike. His faith was simple and sincere. It was a great pleasure to leave with him the high realms of speculation and descend into the lovely valleys of Christian experience. Here he was the child with hand in the grasp of the Great Father. Such a character is a splendid legacy to the people of Hawaii. His whole life of 82 years with the exception of the short time spent in scholastic preparation was passed in these islands. With the emancipation of his spirit fro\r the body his life enters the history of this community to continue ever as a vital upbuilding force. The Spirit of the Fathers themselves, love of education and lavish giving of money, time and themselves to the highest things on the part of the second missionary generation here, wiiat sort of a place would these islands be today? Fortunately, we are witnessing just now the culmination of this second act in the drama of Hawaii. The noble gifts of Good Friday following so si ion after those made last year to the Kawaiahao and Mills departments of the Mid-Pacific Institute serve merely to emphasize the magnificent story of a beneficence so continuous and so generous that the world holds not its parallel. Before this second generation passes off the stage it will have achieved a record in its way every whit as unique as that which made the Hawaii of 1820 to iB6O the apostolic wonder of the nineteenth century. Will the third generation live up to this splendid heredity? It is a giant's task, but we are inclined to believe it will. The Legislature of 1909. It has past and the sigh of relief from the people is audible. It is a thankful sigh because the Legislature did so well. 1 lie Governor and the House saved the day for the people, a few Senators helping. Ihe cause of popular education received decided support in the final appropriations for the public schools anu the public library. Fortunately, the liquor men were effectually checkmated in every move they made. Many detail bills where passed which remedied not a few defects in previous legislation. The general characteristic oi the session was its businesslike consideration of the finances of the Territory and its devotion to the cause of the development of our natural resources. The best commentary upon its work will be the next two years. We look for larger things in every department of activity here. We fear no boom, the Washington Government has already forestalled that by its veto upon free travel, but we do expect steady healthful growth. May, 1909. And there we are content to leave this latest commentary upon the revised Bret Harteism "That for ways that are dark And for tricks that are vain, U. S. politics is peculiar." Meantime the President has treated the Territory to a revelation of his true mind in his judicial appointments. It has long been the observation by leading lawyers in the East that no President ever made so many first-class appointments as Benjamin Harrison. We look to see William H. Taft better this record. He certainly has begun well in Hawaii. George Washington Woodruff, the new Federal Judge, is one of Yale's distinguished sons who has honored every posit'on he has occupied since he entered upon his active life work. In the prime of his powers, he will prove a most valuable acquisition to the Territory. To those who know the man and his record the only wonder is that he is willing to leave what seems n far larger sphere at the nation's center for service in so remote a field. The wisdom of his choice will be made manifest as Hawaii advances to her real destiny. Judge Perry's choice is very popular of course. Everybody is glad to see h'tii hack in his old place. The appointment of Judge Whitney is one more illustration of the eternal fitness of things which has so often characterized the history of Hawaii. The Legislature did no better piece of work this year than pass the juvenile delinquents bill and now President Taft has crowned this legislation by the choice of the ideal boy's Judge for thisTerritory. What this is going to mean for the prevention of crime in these islands the future alone can disclose? Those who know Judge Whitney believe him possessed of powers that should place him some day in the highest judicial office in the Territory. Tt seems certain that with him in control of juvenile delinquency no such horrible travesty upon justice can be repeated as that which exposed little Joe Rosa to a police torture that first frightened him into confessing a crime he never committed and then sentenced him to four years imprisonment therefor. Some years ago The Friend commented upon the frightful history of enforced confessions from suspected criminals resulting in death penalties and long imprisonments for perfectly innocent persons. The time will come when confessions of prisoners made anywhere except in open court or under the most stringent safeguards will not be accepted as testi- To a close student of the real Hawaii during the past decade it has become increasingly evident that the missionary spirit here is as vital as ever and instead of abating is moving on with increasing momentum. When history writes its estimate of the second generation of the missionary families, who made Hawaii, it will record no failure but a new demonstration of that divine wisdom which guides the destiny of man steadily onward to the Kingdom of God. We are beginning to understand more and more why in these mid-sea islands the second generation of missionary families came to hold so large a share of the wealth developed here instead of becoming preachers.

May, 1909. Distinguished Visitors Hawaii gave its characteristic greeting to former Vice President and Mrs. Charles Warren Fairbanks and tneir J. W. Timmons. Their twenty days stay passed all too quickly. Mr. Fairbanks responded most generously to the many calls upon him for addresses and won everyone by his quiet, strong, persuasive speaking. He is a typical American, worthy of all the honors he has received and of any higher ones that the people may give him. He had every opportunity to see the islands and to converse quietly with daughter, Mrs. all classes of our people. This means that he goes from us our friend, his mind possessed with a vision of what Ifawai- means for the Pacific world. Out of this only the best things must come. The policy of serving as a magnet to attract the leaders of popular opinion to this Territory to see us as we are is the wisest possible for our future treatment by the Nation and our coming influence upon it. D. S. DR. S. E. BISHOP AS EDITOR OF "THE FRIEND." The late Dr. S. E. Bishop was a great journalist, although his talents in that line were not manifested till late in life. His famous article on the "Cross Roads of the Pacific", published in the Review of Reviews in 1891. was a master-piece in its way. and left little to be added by any later writers on the subject. For many years he was a highly valued contributor to the N. Y. Independent. He assumed the editorship of the "Friend" in July 1887, and conducted it with little aid from others until April. 1902. As has been truly said by the P. C. Advertiser: "The Friend, while under his sole editorship was literature." ()n all subjects he was independent, outspoken and fearless. Where moral issues were involved, he always "rang true." His articles on religious subjects came fresh from the depths of a great mind and heart. He did not "faintly trust the larger hope," but could say: "I know in whom I have believed." Yet, positive as were his convictions, he was tolerant and sympathetic towards those who honestly differed from him in creed or forms of worship. A prominent place in his paper was always given to the subject of Missions both at home and abroad, and especially to the interests of the Hawah'an people, whom he intimately knew, and to whose welfare he had devoted his life. sey Gulick, was in a measure, such a as Sereno Bishop, given to books.

His editorship for many years of The Friend, was his crowning service to this community and to humanity. His was a life of usefulness beyond that of most men. As a member of the American Board's mission to Hawaii, and in later years as an active member of the Hawaiian Board, Dr. Bishop's services and his counsels were of great value.

THE FRIEND the coining of the phrases;—"The Paradise of the Pacific," "The Cross Roads of the Pacific," "The Tropical land where cold is unknown and heat does not scorch." The prospective opening of the Panama Canal fired his imagination and set him to paint in glowing colors the future Hawaii. As the end of this brave soldier drew near, he could say with the great apostle to the Gentiles, "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." He had no gloomy apprehensions for the future, but looked forward with confidence to what the future might bring to him. About two months ago when accompanying him in a carriage ride, he spoke of his own failing memory, saying, "You need not be surprised, if, this afternoon, I should have no memory of this ride: I welcome this as a sign of the approaching end of my earthly career." Such fortitude and such faith are sublime. Dr. Bishop had five children, two of whom died in infancy, while his son Edward, of great promise, died while in college. • His widow Mrs. Cornelia Sessions Bishop, and one daughter Mrs. Jonathan Shaw, are in Honolulu, and his son John S. Bishop, M.D., of Forest Grove, Oregon, and five grandchildren survive to cherish his memory. The following verses seem to breathe the spirit of his closing days: His Versatility Dr. Bishop as a man, was broad in his sympathies and earnest in stating and maintaining what he believed to be the truth. He was of stalwart mind, firm in his convictions, open and unhesitating in statement of his views. Doubt and uncertainly found no place in his mind; positive convictions guided his career. His literary attainments were very wide, and his manner of speech was unusually winning and pleasing. He acquired in boyhood the Habit of early rising, and was a constant and faithful walker.

In 1839 he left home on a whaler, around the Horn, landing at Newport, R. 1., May 1, 1840. He was fitted for college at Rochester, N. V., and was graduated from Amherst College in 1846 and from Auburn Theological Seminary in 1851. He married Miss Cornelia A. Sessions of Albany, N. V., May 31. 1852. In June 1852 he was ordained chaplain to Seamen by the First Presbytery of New York, and served in that capacity at Lahaina, Maui, Hawaiian Islands,' until February 1862. He then removed to Hana, Maui, and served as a missionary of the American Board to the native Hawaiians. In June 1865 he removed to Lahainaluna, Maui, and served as principal of Lahainaluna Seminary for twelve years. From Lahainaluna he removed to Honolulu in June, 1877, and had resided there ever since.

DIGEST OF FIELD REPORTS FOR QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, '09. 1.—The past quarter was marked by special activity in touring among the churches and mission stations by our superintendents and traveling evangelists. Stormy weather interfered with the success of this touring in some localities, but on the whole the results were gratifying. Our workers certamlv gained a better acquaintance with the needs of the field at first hand; pastors and churches were encouraged by the presence of other sympathetic workers; annoying differences in some of our churches were allayed; plans for the material advantage of the churches were canvassed and secured hearty and intelligent support; and new interest was kindled that showed itself in increased attendance and a spirit of cooperation at the Association meetings.

At some of our Chinese and Japanese out-stations where discouraging conditions have hindered in the past, special interest has developed, so much so in two instances that the Japanese evangelists in charge who were to have returned to Japan this summer on furlough, have decided to remain over another year in the interest of their work. 3.—The renovation of church buildings goes on apace. From almost every quarter the report comes of repairs undertaken or completed; of debts for repairs and church furnishings cancelled; of large sums subscribed for new structures; ami of generous gifts by individuals to our various enterprises for furniture, etc. One of the marked events of the quarter was the dedication, practically free of debt, of the Kalihi Settlement building. 4.—The experiment of occasional I— English speaking services in connection lin Sunday Schools and Endeavor Sowith some of our more favorably situ- I cieties, with growing attendance, comes ated Hawaiian churches is proving its from all d-rections.

The Chapman-Alexander Evangelistic Party has come and gone, but the interest which their brief stay quickened still continues. Every Wednesday evening, for a half hour before the midweek service a group of earnest individuals are meeting for prayer. The burden of their prayers is that men and women may be brought into a saving knowledge of Christ, and that an evangelistic campaign may be undertaken during the coming summer or autumn here in Honolulu. Last week, Tyesdav. the Woman's Prayer meeting was again resumed, and thus the interest is widening.

By this time the news of Mr. C. M. Cooke's generous gift of $50,000 toward a new building for the Young Men's Christian Association has spread abroad. It comes at a time when it is greatly needed, the Association's recent growth along some lines making a new building almost imperative, and the social needs of the young men of Honolulu making such a building highly desirable. Along educational lines the Y. M. ('. A. has .iad a substantial development, until this past year 114 students were enrolled in its night school classes, and the addition of an educational di rector will further increase this next year to about 200. The discovery of the working boy has added to our opportunity and responsibility, and in the future our educational work must take him more into consideration. Where Will He Go? But the great question with which the Y. M. C. A. is concerned, is what shall the young man do with his leisure hours ? He can not spend them in his room in a place like Hawaii. And what is there, outside his room to attract him? We soon exhaust the list of wholesome places, and find a long list of the other sort. The needs of these men has appealed to Mr. Cooke, and his large gift is a vote of confidence in the Association to fill the bill. Our new building will have a large lobby for general social life, with billiard tables, music alcove, pleasant reading room, game room, a bowling alley, and perhaps a shooting gallery, a placce where soft drinks will be sold, and other social attractions, making the Y. M. C. A. building the most attractive social resort in town, the natural place for a man to go to meet other men, or to drop in for an hour's recreation. Such a building will materially reduce saloon dividends, and save many a young man especially strangers who have no place to go. More Work Each Day. Exercise is the price of efficiency in Hawaii. He who makes exercise at tractive, increases the business assets of the city, by giving men clearer minds more vigorous bodies and better diges- lion. In May, 1909. buildings have been built in the South during the last few years, and these will have features applicable to Hawaii. Los Angeles has just completed a building worth about $600,000 and this will be visited on the return trip, in July. So the work goes forward, and Honolulu is to have the building that the Y. M. C. A. has hoped and prayed for for a number of years, its present quarters having long been recognized as inadequate to a modern well-rounded Association work. our new building we plan to have a physical department that will do just these things.

A MESSAGE FROM THE HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. Miss Ellen Lyman, who, in the absence of her brother, Mr. L. C. Lyman, is Acting Principal of the Hilo Boarding School, writes under a recent date: "We are glad to let the readers of 'The Friend' hear from us again and we wish that many of you, on your way to the Volcano, would remember that the Hilo Boarding School is in Hilo, and would make us a call, seeing for yourselves our seventy-three boys of many different races, working harmoniously together in classrooms, shops, on the farm, and on the play ground." Mr. Lyman is spending a year at "Hampton Institute," where he is endeavoring to gain all the help and suggestions possible for the advance of educational work in Hawaii. In a recent letter published in the "Hilo Tribune" he refers to one of the great educational movements of the day: "There has never been a time when agriculture has received so much attention as it is receiving at present throughout the schools and colleges of the United States. It is inspiring to be in the midst of this movement, as we are at present, here at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. This institution has the reputation throughout the country of being the best agricultural school' in the United States. We are continually meeting agriculturists from otiicr schools, who. either come here to observe Hampton's methods, or. who are invited here to tell what they are doing. We have thus had opportunities of listening to lectures from men who are leaders in this agricultural movement from all over the States. The idea of agriculture in the schools is not new to Hawaii. The idea of keeping near the soil, of training the mind through the hand, was started by the early missionaries. In fact, it was the work done right there in Hilo, in its early days, that suggested to General Armstrong the thought of industrial agricultural education here at Hampton." Mr Lyman feels that special effort should be made to extend the beneficial influence of agricultural training in all our schools. He says further, "We need to pay more attention to the teaching of common things; as someone expressed it, "Teach common sense things in a common sense way about common things." We need to supplement the work in books with more practical work, and to make farming attractive to children, to both boys and girls. Let them learn by doing. It is needless to say that we arc gathering all the ideas we can to apply to the work at the Hilo Boarding School. And with some funds donated by friends of the schools, will purchase several articles of equipment lor class work shop and farm purposes. ( hir only regret is that the amount at our disposal is not large enough to get what the school really needs. Had we a thousand dollars instead of three hundred and fifty we could use it ah on the immediate needs of the school." We are very glad to learn that some friend has recently sent one hundred dollars to aid Mr.' Lyman in securing further equipment. Perhaps others will come to his assistance and help him in securing the balance desired towards completing the desired one thousand dollars. THE WORK AT MAUNAOLU SEMINARY. There is very little said in the papers about Maunaolu, but we arc still here and taking no backward steps in educational methods, morals or ethics. We have a full attendance, and have had no sickness. Papers, needle work, and lauhala are being prepared for the Alaskan Exposition. We have even had moving pictures. Great was the delight of the girls when told that Mr. Tetania Onoda would bring up his machine and show pictures of the Okavama Orphanage in Japan. The Alumnae Association now numbers between fifty and sixty members many of whom are earnestly working to keep alive the interest and love for the school. The Association has pledged itself to help support at the school a homeless child whose grandmother was at one time a pupil in the Seminary. It may he of interest to some of the readers of "The Friend" to know that a letter from Miss Helen E. Carpenter, Principal for many years, has been received recently. Miss Carpenter is living in Massachusetts and is in somewhat feeble health, but retains her interest in the school and remembers the pupils with much aloha. This letter comes at a most opportune time as an effort has been made to learn certain facts relating to the early history of the school, all records of which were destroyed in the fire of 1898. Miss Carpenter writes that she made a copy of much valuable data which she will be pleased to send to us. E. L. H. 11 KOFRHES APLMT EMINARY. I send you the following thinking that you might be able to use it in "The Friend." Our annual concert was given on March 16.

On Wednesday, March 17, we had 'open house" and most of the visitors availed themselves of the opportunity to go through the buildings. All expressed themselves pleased with their visit and all agreed that there was an immediate need of more dormitories and a larger teaching force. The beds are so close together in our dormitories that there is not room to walk between them. In fact, there is just a narrow aisle around the room between the beds and trunks. There is no office, so the Principal's bedroom must act as an office, also; and should we get the teacher we so much need, we would need another room for her. If someone would only remember Ko hala now! When she is getting so many new pupils and is just ready to advance, it seems a pity to be held back by lack of funds.

Not defensive, I say; because there is no judge with jurisdiction to hear and determine such an issue. No political party is my landlord who can command my services and whose title I am estopped to call in question, I am no political squirrel, bound to make mv progress, if at all. with'n a party whirligig.

And whither the sealed orders of my conscience read when once I get them open I go, in company, or alone. I owe to nobody an apology for what I am and what I do as an elector w'thin the triangle of my own conscience, mv own judgment and the law of the land. The thought of making such a statement is suggested by the receipt of many letters, most of them applauding, but some expressing grief, surprise or great perplexity at what they call my leaving the Prohibition Party. The occasion of this congestion of my correspondence is a recent interview of mine with some Omaha newspaper reporters, which achieved a surprising publicity, by reason. I susnect. of the head-lines rather than the subject matter. The cist of the art'ele was. that "The Prohibition Party was like a fire-bell. Tt awoke the people. They are up and do ing. In such a case there are two things to do--ring the bell more, or put out I am for putting out the fire, whatever may become of the bell." I was correctly reported; and the statement seemed and still seems to me entirely sane and just, and important enough, too. But ; t was not news: and the only reason it attracted so much attention was that the daily papers were not very well informed about Prohibition Party history. I have held precisely the same attitude for more than the fire. bound. To get men and women to take and keep to, such an attitude was the primary motive of the Prohibition Party. When it took up the burden of its prophecy against the drink traffic, it had, in effect, just two propositions on the subject; that the liquor traffic ought to be forbidden by law; and to that end, that the power of the old rival, sectional, parties to hold back the liquor issue from the people ought to be broken. For these things it made a wonderful fight and won what a truly annotated and sent forerunner always wins, increase for its principles with decrease for itself. It never enrolled more than a very small per cent, of prohibit'onists. But those it did enroll were of the quality to bolt it as they had bolted the others, for sufficient cause. The old parties could have re-enlisted everyone of them at any moment by declaring, in a convincing tone of platform, in favor of a fair popular trial of the liquor traffic at the bar of an election. And strange to say. a major'ty of each of the old parties were, more or less, earnestly in favor of that: but they had the wrists and ankles of their citizenship in the narty stocks and were prohibit'onists only in their minds. The Prohibition Party was always insignificant numerically. Its power was in its independence. Tn forty years of magnificent campaigning it made no growth as a third party, beyond the bare requirements of vigorous health: and when its work was done it began to diminish. It was a daring, inconsistent, splendid tlrng to do, to form a political party to teach super-partizan patriotism on moral issues. But it did it, in the fear of God, and won, in the old sad way of all the prophets. The beacon fires of its own triumph threw ; tself into the shadow. But the record is sure, that largely because of what it did and the wav it did it partyism is a lost cause in the great refomi —not dead, but dying surely and rapidly. But a few of us. and only a few, were caught by the sleeping sickness of partv'sm, and not having thoroughly ap- prehcnded the nature of the business, and, not unnaturally, being infatuated with the splendor of the performance, wish to keep on making way for liberty although the liberty road is wide open and beginning to be fairly well traveled. This tends to make ridiculous what came near being sublime. It is as if the friends of Arnold Winklercid had tried to galvanize his body for another dash at the lines of tyranny that he had already broken by his initiative and his sacrifice. The purpose of the Prohibition Party has been substantially accomplished and its method of agitation abundantly justified. It conceived and surveyed a trans-civic road from personal conscience to Congress; and now that the people are turning out by precincts, towns, counties and states to grade and lay and use their local sections of the great main line, it would be sheer folly for it to oppose, disparage or delay them and demand that they do all at once, or nothing. Picks, shovels, cuts, culverts, fills, p ; les, tunnels and bridges are not "through trains." certainly; but they mean through trains in due time — for all the gaps that still divide tingangs. But have I become one of the moderates ? I think I am not changed in any way. I was and am a radical as to tindrawings. Everybody but a fool. PS a conservative in the construction. It is one thing, and a very good thing, to have a vision of a noble wall, draw it to scale, and scatter blue prints far and wide.

I am for the extermination of the beverage liquor traffic, by the will of the people and in the manner chosen by the people—just as they made this nation —by beginning right where one lives, without boasting or whining, and by towns, counties, territories and states working inward and upward to the federal capitol. The Prohibition Party made the breach. The prohibition party has taken possession of the land. I go with the party. THEH IONUTL K AWAII. Whether the collapse of the recent plot of the liquor dealers to pull the teeth of the licensing law is to be counted a decisive victory cannot be determined until the Commission organizes and shows what kind of stuff it is made of. But it is quite certain now. that the impudence of the Moore bill, and the swagger of its sponsors, to the effect that drugs were absolutely fixed to pass it, in spite of the popular judgment, have increased the public detestation of the business, the public distrust of the men engaged in it. and the public determination to have men of known integrity in office. Mean men outnumber the decent in the liquor trade, and the worse counsels determine the action of their Association: otherwise the Moore bill would not have been presented. Any saloonkeeper that intended to obey the law and respect the will of the people, would feel as sah." under the present law as he could feel under any restrictive measure and would naturally shrink from the plain folly and the suggested rascality of the attack upon it. By "saloonkeeper" is meant any liquorseller: for all the liquorsellers in the tcrtitorv are in effect retailers, because of the small packages that are permitted to be wholesaled and that arc in fact peddled to drinkers in the name of "deliveries." And if there is any spectacle in the world of legitimate business that is contemptible beyond comparison, it is the wholesale delivery of short half-pint bottles of whiskey among the laborers and soldiers; thus making all outdoors a kind of peripatetic saloon. And moreover, the wholesalers are, most if not all of them, owners or controllers of saloons—the breweries, of many; the wine and spirit merchants, of enough. And because it is dominated by the inferiors, the liquor trade can always be depended on to do the foolish thing, 13 now that it is actually up against a light for its existence. Its mind is clouded with a long heredity of contempt for law. Not since the civil war, when fed- eral, state and municipal governments began to be dependent on the income of blood, money, has it given honest obedi- ence to any restrictive regulation, unless it wished to or had to, until very recently. Calloused to the sight of human misery, immune to shame, and confident of political corruption, it has come completely and instinctively to despise the legislature, the courts and the police, and naturally it finds it hard to change 'ts age-long attitude of truculence. to meet the new conditions now impending. Nor is the liquor trade to be too and sweepingly censured for being what it is, in this respect. The license system, wlr'eh began by pointing out the menace of the business to the health, happiness and good order of the community, and ended by selling to it a status on the level with wholesome and necessary industries, was itself immoral cowardly and silly, and begot a race of harshly law-despisers, as surely as an apple tree hears apples. To lesritini'ze a business that was bad and only bad, for a cash fee. and then command it to be good, was the surpassing folly in the history of remedial legislation. The alcoholic drink business would have gone down by its own dead weight long ago if the restrictive features of the licensing law had been respected and obeyed, as groceries and clothing stores obey the laws: because in such conditions it might have produced a guild of self-respecting men, content with fair returns on their investments Bui as it is, while some good men persist among the business buccaneers, the rank and file rely on cn'me for the "velvet" in the base and awful traffic. Tt is to the drunkards, the minors, the male and female prostitutes, the gamblers and other creatures of the under world, that the trade looks for its enormous and hideous prosperity. Tt was no thought of justice, as between law-abiding citizens: and stable trade cond'tions in the interest the public good, that inspired the recent fo<av on the people's representatives, but the greed and brutality of long habit and nerverted natures, snatching at a chance to regaiii. the outlaws' paradise where "everything goes." Tt is not pleasant to write thus about a business which st: ll, for all the Hvht and knowledge of these days, can number reputable men among if. managers and sponsors. But this is not a time or place for mincing truthful words. The decent men who still grope blindly in the ruin business must be made to realize, that religion, science, economics a.id clean politics hold them, as to that one thing, enemies of God and man, disseminators of idleness, poverty, insanity, vice and crime. They do half-know already, that of all the agencies employed in the last hundred years of ag'tation to suppress their business, or mitigate the misery it entails, nothing has worked so steadily and dramatically to bring it to its present desperate extrenr'ty, as the unfaltering and contemptuous lawlessness of the common run. There seems good reason for believing that the present boards of license Commissioners will prove fit to exercise the discretion of the counties. The Governor knows the law and the people. It is unthinkable that he would be negligent or complaisant in his appointments. The law. itself forbids him. whatever might be his personal bias, to accomplish a prejudged policy by namFair, open■ng radicals, either way. minded, fearless citizens, to think, to hear, to determine, are contemplated and. doubtless, appointed. There is nothing to be feared concerning them, save possibly, that they may fail to grasp, in full, the measure of their official dignity and duty. Tt is the tntblic discretion they arc charged with, not the right administration of technical rules-- a sound, broad. untrammeted discretion as to the present use of the absolute power and tight of the people.

The people thought Barnabas was Jupiter and Paul Mercury and wanted to worship them as gods, but Paul and Barnabas protested that they were men whose object was to turn people from such vanities unto the living God. About this time Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and persuaded the people that not gods but devils possessed the missionaries. Accordingly the fickle people stoned Paul until they thought he was dead. He was, however, only stunned, and on the next day the missionaries went on to Derbe. Daily Readings.

Faith which does not show itself in works can do no good to its possessor or to the world. If one says he has faith, call upon him to show it by his good works, for in no other way can faith become visible. It is not enough to believe that God is the one and only God; even devils believe that. Abraham and Rahab proved their faith.

At Mahukona Mr. and 15 Mrs. Gulick, Mr. Oleson, Mr. and Mrs. Nakuina boarded the steamer and we had a rough trip across the Hawaii channel. At Lahaina we found that the meetings had already begun and a day each had been devoted to the Sunday School and to the Christian Endeavor. Saturday, May 27th, was the time scheduled for the Sunday School Hoike instead of Sunday as is the usual custom. The change proved very satisfactory, though perhaps the attendance was not as large as it would have been were it held on Sunday. The Wainee Sunday School and the Lahainaluna boys were the chief performers and they did well. During the morning I gave an address on"The Sunday School—a Place for Worship and a Place for Bible Study." In the afternoon there was another meeting to discuss the question of the study of the Easter lesson in the schools. A concert was given in the Hale Aloha that evening and was attended by a large number. Sunday morning the services in the Wainee Church were most impressive and helpful. As already recorded in our last issue there were ten additions to the membership of the Church. Some splendid addresses were given in the afternoon in the Hale Aloha and a Christian Endeavor rally was held in the evening. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were devoted to the business sessions of the "Aha Makua," the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday Schools, together with addresses on vital topics of the day, sermon outline drill, prayermeetings, farewell reception and concert, etc. From every standpoint the Lahaina meeting was most successful and "progress" was the key-note. In the Sunday School Association a rule was passed which will prevent the imposition of any tax upon Sunday Schools at the time of the quarterly reviews, the money going into the pockets of the district superintendents. This practise has sometimes worked a hardship upon the Sunday Schools and its abolition is a step in the right direction. The Waikane Meeting. Returning to Honolulu April Ist, there was an interval of a week before the Oahu Association met at Waikane, Koolaupoko, on April 9th. The sessions of the "Aha Makua," the Christian Endeavor and the Sunday School Association were completed in two days. Most of the work was of �THE FRIEND 16 a routine character and only one reform was instituted, viz.: the denial of a request to assess each Sunday School one dollar for the benefit of the SundaySchool Association treasury. A satisfactory balance in the treasury was an unanswerable argument against the May, 1909 for our Japanese camp work, to know that thousands of these have been distributed, the people of the camps receiving them eagerly, and expressing their appreciation of the kindness of the givers.

Such advertising is simply useful, and county now has seventy licensed liquor dealers, the number should be as great another year. Certainly it should not be greater; there is no suspicion that any citizen or tourist has suffered for a drink, this year. No renewal ought to be granted to one who has violated the conditions of the license that he has, or given any unusual trouble to the police, or even come Restaurant licenses should vigorously under general suspicion as to the char- exclude sales without meals, or with fake meals; and the usual sandwich farce acter of his place. should mean the prompt withdrawal of or reNo license ought to be granted, newed, for a saloon, or wholesale liquor a license.

He was held in camp until the license. The sale he could be delivered with the goods on knowingly, or under circumstances oi lr'm, into the hands of an officer. If what strong suspicion, should forfeit any he was doing was a genuine delivery of wholesale license. liquors ordered from him, he ought nevertheless to lose his license the coming year. Or, if it was a fake delivery he should be retired summarily from the list of el'gibles. It is the law of Congress and the policy of the officer in command to permit no beer or liquors to be sold in camp. The War Department, and the Navy Department also, are doing their best to protect the camps, on the outside as well. Tnto that effort the Commission ought to go heartily and loyally. This country must have sober soldiers and sailors. Life in camp is monotonous and in a measure idle; the men are cut off from nearly all the influences that tend to make it easy for civih'ans to abstain. It ought to be axiomatic in the Commission that no countenance will be given, nor any mercy shown, to violators of the spirit of the law protecting soldiers and sailors from the most common and most dangerous temptation that besets them. Tf the Commission believes that antisaloon sentiment has progressed during the year, the number of licenses should be reduced accordingly, even without any charges being brought against the present holders. A reduction of 25 per cent, in Honolulu would seem not unreasonable. It is to be hoped that the Commissioners will rise superior to the "blind pig" bugaboo. Illicit dealing should be fought of course; it has been faithfully and efficiently fought in Oahu up to this time. But wherever there are licensed liquor houses, unlicensed sales will fllourish. There is abundant cvi- 17 Immediate attention should be paid to the character of liquors sold. There are some "blends" on sale in this market, one drink of which would fetch a war whoop from the steam dredge in the bay. Wholesale licensees ought to be made to conform to the federal pure food law, and in addition be forbidden to indulge in "blends" of any kind. The fact that a licensee has money invested in his place is a tender point with business men; but it ought to weigh absolutely nothing as against a good reason for withholding or cancelling the license. The investor in a license knows what he is buying—a permit, for one year. Let him look out for himself, as his customers and victims have to do. There is no call for squeamish tenderness in such matters. The business is bad, although we think we have to endure it yet awhile. But the liquor sellers have had ample warning, and they know the rules of the game. Let them play it man fashion, or quit. The good unofficial cit'zens must throw the weight of their influence on the side of law and order. There ought to be no land, or house, leasable for a drink shop, wholesale or retail, near a camp or a market. No good citizen ought carelessly to sign a liquor dealer-petition or go on his bond, or permit his representative to do so. Many tern perance men in Honolulu are parties to the liquor business today, because som" good-natured manager of their property has signed a license petition. Newspapers that stand for high ideals and clean politics, ought to decline to wholly intended, for publicity, to keep the young and the ignorant familiar with the subject, immune to new truth about it, and in the line of future exploitation. And finally, it would be a great help to a cause that needs assistance; and would pay big dividends on the investment of personal influence, if alcoholic beverages were to become conspicuous by (heir absence from the clubs where the most cultured and prosperous citizens are in control, and from the private hospitality of men of commanding position. The destruction of the weak comes not a little from -the poor creatures trying to immitate the strong. At the best there is a long hard fight ahead, and every man and woman that believes the beverage liquor traffic to be against the best interests of the people, ought to lend a hand, each in his own way, "according as God hath dealt to every one of us the measure of faith." Hawaii Cousins EXTRACTS FROM OLD LETTERS The Death of Kinau. Kinau, the governor of these Islands and the associate in power with the King, is dead. This has been a dreadful shock to this nation and to us all. She was the great friend of the mission and the prop as it were to the Islands. At the time when the King chose her as his associate there was great rejoicing among all who had any regard for the prosperity of the nation or the cause of missions. That was an eventful time. Every prohibition was taken off and the wicked man was left to let loose his passions with even the confidence of the King and his courtiers. The King bought barrels of rum and placed them in his yard and all who wished were encouraged to drink and some who were Church members commanded to do it. Of course, a great many fell but I was speaking of Kinau. �May, 1909.

She is taken away and we do not know who will fill her place. She has occupied the station I suppose seven or ei'tiit years. Her disease was the palsy. Saturday morning she was taken numb and lost the use of one side, the next day became sleepy, finally it settled on the brain and it became impossible to wake her and on Thursday noon she died. On its being known that she was dangerously ill, vessels were dispatched in every direction and brought the King and most of the chiefs here that they might see her die. The King arrived about an hour before she died. His appearance is said to have been very affecting. His whole frame seemed agitated. His countenance pale and full of anxiety. He entered the room cast a look at his sister then turning threw his arms around the neck of Hoapili-wahine, their mother. They both wept a long time, the doctor was obliged to stop them for fear it would be injurious to his health. After he did they seemed a little more calm and united with Mr. Bingham in singing* a hymn and prayer. Then they requested the missionaries to go home that they might be left alone. How dreadful to hear a nation wail. You can have no idea of it. Her husband and friends have sat by her bedside fasting ever since she was taken ill. They sometimes gave vent to their grief before she was senseless but she always disapproved and stopped them. Now there was no one to hinder, they gave full vent to their grief. This continued till sun down when the King began to feel unwell,— sent for Doctor Judd who found him highly excited, very nervous and feverish. This fever continued for a few days but he is now better. It is now a week since she died but she still lies in the house waiting for the arrival of the old Governor of Kauai to come when she will be buried or removed. She has left an infant daughter to whom she seemed to devote her only thought. The Trials of Clothing. January 24, 1840. People at home seem to think that missionaries live like the savages among whom they dwell but they have not correct ideas upon the subject. It is not the object of the missionary to teach himself barbarism,—on the contrary he should by example endeavor to teach the nation civilization, its el benefits, comforts and pleasures. Therefore missionaries consider it a uuty on this account as well as for the good of their families, their own health and the honor of their country to live in a decent, respectable manner. We have comfortable apartments which we endeavor to keep in order and cleanly so that whenever called upon by people of English or European countries we need not blush for ours or put our friends, our patrons or our country to blush for us. The same with regard to dress. Some oeople will send out old things for us to wear wdiich would not be fit to be worn by the Americans. For instance, by the last arrival there were sent to this mission from the rich city of Philadelphia, two boxes of Navariono bonnets; freight cost $15.00. Now we would much sooner wear such things in Philadelphia than in Honolulu. As to the natives they have been able to make themselves straw bonnets and they make very good ones. I presume they will not care to exchange for paper that will be spoiled by a week in a shower. Now those boxes will be a dead loss to the mission and more than all the donors doubtless feel that they have done a very generous action.

The Together Campaign. „>* «« v j* .* ,4 ..«* Church Endowments. The unsavory record of the administration of its'trust by New York's Trinity Church helps to sustain the contention of those who believe that the funds given to endow Churches should be safeguarded by a large measure of popular control. Perhaps the best form of endowment is that prescribing the use of income for sustaining missionaries under the great missionary boards. Hawaii could not influence more vitally and permanently the cause of Christ's Kingdom throughout America than by the creation of a number of endowments connected with such Churches as Central Union. Hilo hirst, Makawao and the like, each bearing the name of some one of the historic missionary families of the Territory and each furnishing a missionary to tlie American Hoard. The sum of $25,000 would yield an income sufficient to maintain a missionary family.

In January we tore down part of the old church, repaired the rest and use it now as a schoolhouse. We then decided not to ring our large bell until the new beautiful church edifice should be completed. Our Sabbath morning services had been held beneath the trees, in the in terior of the island near the famous lagoon. The conch shell was used during those months to call the people to worship. It was grand to conduct services in the hush, but rather far from the mission. On Sabbath morning, March 28, it seemed as if the whole native population had turned out to rejoice with us in dedicating our House of Prayer. The Church newly painted and decorated for the occasion looked pretty, and our hearts began to beat fast when we saw the throng waiting for the doors to be opened.

It was useless to befin with, and it was open to the criticism of being the bluff of a parvenu among the powers. The fact that (he fleet could be spared for so long for swashbuckling, so far abroad, tended to show its lack of usefulness at home. It was good training for the crews, certainly, and the conduct of the men was highly creditable. Hut the performance, as a whole, was not good enough for a great democracy that has no enemies and aspires to be the leader of the nations. It was sheer folly as a stratagem in the interest of peace. One drunken brawl in the streets of Tokto. or one torpedo in Yokohama bay, fixed and fired by criminal desperadoes, would probably have plunged the world into a fearful war, for exactly nothing bearing any resemblance to an issue.

WOOLLEY, LL. D. BACK TO CONGRESS. ( hie of the questions considered in the present annual meeting of the Hawaiian Hoard was: I low would Local Option work in Hawaii? The discussion was fti!!. intelligent and very earnest; and the decision unanimous, in favor of the complete suppression of the beverage liquor business, by any and all means within the reach of the Christian people. The definition of the word "local" presents difficulty in such an argument, just as local regulations bring discouragement, in the attempt to enforce them. The imaginary lines, that bound the governmental units, are invisible to the influences set in motion by broken law, and insensible to the differences in local public sentiment. The saloon in the "license" precinct produces idleness, poverty, insanity, vice and crime in the abutting prohibitory area and that, out of all proportion to the reciprocal good received. The principle of returning good for evil must be accepted, of course, but it bristles with disappointment, in application to local option. Fighting the liquor business with local option, with the voting precinct as the unit, gives heavy odds to the saloon, for very obvious reasons. The solidarity of the business is its most important elcrent of power, and a startling object lesson for its betters, in the grace and the profit of unselfishness. The liquor trafficis so organized as to resemble a trollcywire. It delivers power precisely at the point where the load is situated. The anti-liquor sentiment, under a local option system, is so dispersed that there is a great waste of power, and a most destructive electrolysis of discouragement in constant operation. The association of liquor dealers is keenly and vitally interested in every saloon, and prompt to give it aid, with almost no waste of energy or money. On the other hand the great body of antisaloon sentiment is not greatly stirred by the prospect of closing a single drink shop. Tf it be represented to a given conimunitv. that its six saloons can he reduced to five, the temperance clement responds but langourouslv. No great interest can be aroused short of, say, fifty tier cent, decrease. Public enthusiasm is impossible, unless the fight is to a finish —winner to take all. attitude of the convention to such oposals as looked to the reduction of BThe the number of saloons, was that of patient attention ; but every suggestion of a general battle to the death evoked applause. A law giving local option by precincts would increase the value of agitative work, and enrich the soil for public education ; but the saloon in one precinct would make tipplers and drunkards in another! Difficulties in enforcement would discourage the police authorities! Disappointment would dampen the ardor <if the people, and the precincts would see-saw back and forth from nrohihition to license, and vice versa. There would he a balance of good in the operation, but i' would he small. County option would be better, since the sea would cooperate, in a measure, with an island that had voted out saloons. Hut, though the lines are broad and deep, between our island counties, yet the evils of the drink can cross them easily as one can witness any day if he will watch the passengers and the freight at any local wharf. The territory, taken together, is hut small, with barely fourteen thousand voters, and orobably it will be better in case a plebiscite is ever taken on the license question, to have the entire Territory as the unit. The City of Honolulu alone could go far toward nullification of the local will of any island of the group that voted out the liquor business. Even so, it would be difficult to get a full and fair expression of the popular will, adverse to the saloon. If it could he taken in vacuo, the native vote of the whole Territory would show a good majority for prohibition. Hut it cannot be taken in that way. The secret ballot is a great advantage, to be sure; but all through the campaign—such a campaign —the voter would be subjected to terrific pressure, as to which the moment of independence in the polling booth would count perhaps for little. In such a campaign the liquor interest would not rest, nor desire rest; nor spare expense, or trouble of any kind: for the liquor interest is one and indivisible in devotion to the single purpose of selling drink. While the anti-liquor interest is devoted to many things and, as compared to the liquor business, quite unorganized and unorganizable. The native men at their strongest are. like white men. easily influenced and easily fooled. The liquor dealers are very active, liberal, shrewd, wiser in their gen- 13 eration than the children of light, in such ways to carry an election, as finer men cannot compete in. Busy, peace-loving men with varied interests are slow to wrath Under the present law, which gives a very far-reaching local option, nearly all the work that is done in entering protests to the issuance of licenses, or the renewal of them, is done by a very few men. This is not because the interest is small, or the public feeling shallow, hut simply because the better men dislike contending. The most hopeful way, under all the circumstances, is to conclude that we should be better off without any more option in the premises. The International agreement, in the interest of the island peoples, provided prohibition as the better rule. Hut the Hawaiians were not willing to be within it. The Federal government, in the enabling act by which the islands became a United States territory, preferred prohibition as the safer rule. Hut the Hawaiians thought that they knew better. The Territorial statute assumes and enforces the fact that the liquor traffic is a dangerous thing and suggests several ways by which the people may curtail it or destroy it. Hut the Hawaiians find it difficult to grapple with their neighbors in unfriendly effort. The local will is difficult of enforcement, in local courts and with local officers, when that will is adverse to the more aggressive citizens. Hut the local will, administered by Federal courts and Federal officers, is free from such weakness and such embarrassment. The logic of this drives us back to Congress for the relief we seek. A hill i* already pending which, if it passes, will deliver Hawaii from the beverage liquor traffic, and yet provide ample opportunity for the supply of necessary liquors for medicines, etc. It is the sense of the Hawaiian Hoard that we shall support that bill or some such bill. ( lur friends the enemy cannot complain of us for that. They have precisely etiual opportunity with us, in opposition. Such a measuring of our respective strength will he as fair as any trial could be. It will be a quiet contention of character, remote from all the squabbles and roorbacks and corruptions of an el-c-tion. The liquor trade may shrink from such a trial, but it is perfectly fair. The following resolution was adopted without dissent by the c.invention and will go forward to Congress with personal letters and personal interviews in support: "Resolved.

May 9, I visited the Kawaiahao Sunday School and noted progress in all the departments. The new system of study, adopted last fall has worked very successfully. I said a few words before the whole school when they all came together after the lesson. The regular morning service of the church was shortened to allow lime for the unveiling of a memorial stone in honor of the deceased members of the church whose graves ate unmarked. This stone was plavcd on one of the pillars at the entrance to the Kawaiahao Cemetery and after appropriate exercises had taken place, the stone was disclosed to view as the Hawaii m and American flags were raised and the audience sang "Hawaii Ponoi." I had received a most cordial invitation from the Rev. L. I). Keliipio and others to preach in the Waialua church once more, so plans were made to visit the Waialua district during that week. I had a delightful horseback- ride to "Mokuleia, just beyond the Waialua mill, where I became the guest of Vr. and Mrs. John P. F.rdman for a few days. ()n Sunday morning, May 16th, we visited the Japanese Sunday School in the mill cam)), and Rev. Mr. F.rdman taught the interesting and exceedingly active children the lesson, besides leading in the singing of the hymns. After this service was over, we continued to the Haleiwa Church. At the close of the Sunday School hour I gave a brief address on the subject of what some of our schools are doing in the line of improvement. When my talk was over, I preached at the morning service at the request of the pastor who translated my discourse into Hawaiian On Tuesday, the 18th. 1 rode over to the Boys' Industrial School at Waialce and became the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. 11. Gibson for a couple of days. The Governor and party of Territorial officials visited the school the next day and it was therefore an unusually interesting time to be at Waialee. After the lunch for the special party was over, the boys appeared in their khaki uniforms, preceded by the school band in white duck suits. As they marched past the Governor and his party, they saluted and the band played lively music. The Governor and Judge Whitney made brief addresses before the party inspected the various parts of the farm 15 THE FRIEND and the buildings. The good appearance of the boys was commented upon by the visitors from Honolulu. In the evening I said a few words to the boys on the subject of the growth of the body, mind and spirit. This institution it \\ aialee is one of the best schools in the whole Territory and Mr. Gibson has done a magnificent work in transforming the lives of the many boys who have come under his influence. It is unfortunate that the late Legislature did not make adequate provision for the actual needs of this most helpful and important school. It is with regret that we hear of the resignation of Mr. Gibson. We hope that the Territory may yet have his services as leader in the good work of making worthy citizens of the boys who are sent to Waialee from all parts of these islands. On returning to town in time for the services of Sunday, May 23rd, I found that that day was to be an unusually busy day. In the morning 1 went to the kauinakapili Church and taught a class of girls and then preached at the tegular morning service. In the afternoon I attended the services of the Pauoa Chapel. Besides speaking to the primary department and teaching a .lass of young men, I addressed the whole school and then preached a short sermon. An unusual feature of the Sunday School service was the "Hoike Ohana" or recitations by families and sometimes by groups of congenial friends. 'This scheme was tried it Pauoa to arouse interest and it has succeeded to a large measure in attracting young men who formerly stayed away from Sunday School. It might be tried in other places besides Pauoa. In the evening I preached at ihe Palama Settlement ami thus ended a full and happy day. K *m !** W V v t» t H t ** TEACHER TRAINING. By Rev. J. M. Lydgate, Lihue, Kauai. The grasp and retention of an historical event depends very largely on the sharpness Ot its conception; and sharpness of conception again depends very largely on localization. Fven a definitely pictured event, vignetted away into clouds, and floating about in mist soon gets lost. It stands alone, unrelated in any system, and holds its own in memory only with difficulty. ()f such a character is far too much of our Bible knowledge, a condition to which our more or less disconnected Sunday School lessons tend. Take for instance the Healing of the Nobleman's Son—we know the details, but when and where we do not know. And so this event, in common with a great many others, floats about Disconnectcd- lv and thus loses a large measure of its significance. And often times this physical and geographical knowledge -beds a great deal of light on the event, c. g., in this case, where we are informed that the Nobleman's Son was sick in Capernaum and that the father had come thence to see Jesus. Now the measure of his faith is the distance he has come, the difficulties of the way. etc. And the distance which he has conic, taken with the time, gives an idea of the urgcncev of his coming and the leisureliness of his return. All of which sheds interesting and valuable light on the character of the Nobleman and the quality of his faith. Having located these places on the map, with relation to one another and to the rest of the country, and gained an idea of the mountainous nature of the country and the quality of the roads and means of transportation, we are in a position to make a mental picture of the whole event, with the surrounding setting, which will give fresh significance and vividness—so that it will be much more likely to stick. Bat perhaps you say that is just what we are doing in the course of the ordinary Sunday School lessons, bringing cverv available bit of information to bear on each passage as it comes up. This is quite true, and 1 have no desire to make any criticism of the truly remarkable fund of information collected to illustrate the Sunday School lessons. And yet, in spite of the efforts, of the most intelligent leaders, there is danger of scrappiness. It is studying the bits of a dissected puzzle, most thoroughly and patiently, and mastering them, realizing that they go together, but knowing them apart. Now what I want to suggest is not any relaxation of this minute study but the addition, or the emphasis, of the broader study and this is particularly important and profitable for the teacher. Nothing appeals to the childish and youthful mind like graphic and vivid presentation. The Bible story of necessity is brief and condensed —to make it more graphic and vivid we must fill in the details; to do this we must know the country and be familiar with the life of the people. For instance study up the geography of Saul's defeat at Cilboa. Show, because of physical and geographical conditions, why the battle took place just where it did. Show where Saul was encamped on one side of the valley, and the Philistines on the other, and how the Philistines rushed Saul's army and drove them up—up, and over, down to ruin on the other �side. And if they arc ordinary boys— or girls either for that matter—you will hold them breathless. But you can't do that unless you yourself understand the situation and can put into the meagre description in San.uel the additional information which has come to you through a study of the country. Further more it gives the teacher a very valuable assurance, a sense of being at home. The whole Bible story is tied together topically. The New 'Testament is attached to the old. Kvery spot is holy ground because there or near there other events of interest took place. Wherever he lifts his eyes the landscape is more or less familiar to the intelligent teacher who is at home with the Historical Ceography of the Land: and he has a place in which to fit every event which can be localized. From mj own experience as well as that of thousands who were wise before me, I can assure you a fresh flood of light and interest on the whole Bible narrative, especially the Old Testament— with which we are less familiar—from the study of a simple course in Historical Geography. 'Trusting that some, especially Sunday School teachers, may be sufficiently interested to want to know what such a course looks like, I propose, first, to suggest some books which should be more or less available, if possible, and then, later outline such a course as may seem advisable.

To know God as He has revealed I limself to us in nature, in the heart of man and in Christ. 2. To exercise towards God, the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, trust, obedience and worship. 3. To know and do our duty to others. 4. To know and do our duty to ourselves.

We have been much pleased recently receive tin- last annual report of the Director of Education in the Philippines. This is a most interesting and Stimulating statement with reference to the great and important work being there done in an educational way. which is of incalculable value to the inhabi lants of those islands, a great object lesson to the neighboring continent of Asia and constitutes one of the noblest contributions of the American people to the cause of Humanity. The field covered by the Department of Education is a wide and extensive one. " I he purpose of the Bureau of Education has been lo establish public schools of a standard type on every populated island and in everyone of the former Spanish pueblos'and as rapidly as possible in This plan all the important barrios. large degree. a realized to has been There is no municipality and, if we except certain islands in the Sulu Archito pelago, inhabited by Mohammedan Malays, there are practically no inhabited islands of the archipelago without schools. The northernmost school in the Philippine Islands is located on the Island of Batan, 135 miles north of Luzon and about an equal distance. south of Formosa. The most southerly school is at Siasi in the Sulu archipelago. The distance in latitude between these points is almost exactly 15 degrees, or over 1000 miles." This great school area is watched over by thirty-eight school superintendents, the field' being divided into thirtyfive school divsions.

There are between five and six thousand native teachers and well on to a thousand American. A recent writer in the Outlook in an article entitled "What Shall We Do with the Philippines? speaks most appreciatively of the school work being then done. He says, "One of the very best proofs of the sincerity of our declared purpose to fit the Filipinos for self-government is the energy with which we have pushed education, although the obstacles in the wav of success have been serious.

The delegates and ministers of the Island Churches met with Central Union Church from May 29 to June 1 in the eighty-seventh annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. For the first time the anniversary was held with a non-native church. The new plan of printing and circulating beforehand the papers to be discussed was tried and unanimously approved by vote. The Association put itself on record as endorsing the National Council's proposed changes in polity so far as they are changes for Hawaii, leaving definite action to await the final decisions of the Council of 1910. No. 7 A Training School for Ministers was favored and the question of how to inaugurate such an undertaking was referred to the Hawaiian Board. The Association also petitioned the Territorial Board of Health to establish a dispensary in North and South Kona, and to provide a district nurse there. The next meeting was fixed at Kailua where the ooth anniversary of the landing of the first missionaries will be commemorated by the placing of a suitable memorial A committee on evangelism stone. was appointed and the Hawaiian Board was requested to take steps to secure titles to all the Church lands now without them. The discussions of the papers were lively and marked a distinct advance upon former years. The Association voted its thanks to Secretary (Meson, Governor Frear, Attorney (ieneral ilemenway and Superintendent of Public Instruction Babbitt for their notable and public-spirited work in securing the passage of a law to grant quit claim deeds to all the historic church lands in the Territory. This deed of justice has been made possible by years of patient investigation and effort on behalf of the Board and the Territorial authorities. Mr. (Meson is to be heartily congratulated that the consummation came during his administration of the Secretaryship. j» j» Jt J» *j» * The Strike. Signs of the end of this long disturbance of local industrial conditions are appearing. Meantime certain conclusions are inevitable. One of these is that the ordinary Japanese laborer is not responsible for the trouble. America has rarely witnessed so tranquil a labor conflict. The Japanese workman is essentially a lover of peace and his behavior thruout this struggle has been beyond praiae. Whatever lawlessness—and it has been practically nil—has occurred has not been chargeable to the rank and file of the laborers. This Territory will never have a better behaved company of workingmen. To lose these kindly, gentle, industrious toilers would be a calamity. The laborer not only did not cause the strike, but he did not want H. If he had had the protection from the authorities that he was entitled to, it would never have occurred. This does not mean pro- �THE FRIEND 4 tection during the inception and progress of the conflict but thru years past. The manner in which the Territory has allowed Japan*** workmen to be fleeced by the gambling fraternity of their own race has been scandalous. Everybody who knows anything about the sugar plantations knows that about pay day the gamblers descend upon tlie camp and begin their nefarious work. In many a camp-house laborers have been terrorized into gaming. A system of bulldozing thus was organized so that when the strike was ordered from Honolulu, the machinery of terror was complete. The men had to stop. The remedy is plain. Get rid of the gamblers. The way to do this was pointed out years ago by Japanese in Japan familiar with conditions here, but the hint, tho communicated to our authorities, was never acted upon. It was suggested that a few Japanese detectives familiar with the criminal class of the Empire be engaged by the Honolulu authorities to scrutinize their immigrating countrymen. Criminals could l>c spotted at once and by the laws of the United States would be deported. If this course had been pursued, Hawaii would have been spared most of its trouble today. A second suggestion was that Japanese detectives be engaged by the plantations to work up evidence against the gambling fraternity and so hunt them out by making Hawaii too hot for them. Almost all the ills suffered by the Japanese laborers in this Territory are due to this lawless element that terrorizes the simple hearted, honest peasants among them. If a determined effort were made to get the evildoers out of the Islands it would be the greatest blessing to the entire community. of the Mid-I'acific Institute he will undoubtedly be of great assistance in his new position, and irom this standpoint his return to China seems providential. Mr. Thwing takes to language acquisition with ease and speaks both Chinese and Japanese, having learned to use the latter lor every day purposes during his sojourns in Hawaii. He will find this accomplishment of great advantage to him now that the Japanese in China are so numerous. During the past year .Mr. Thwing has been gaming experience in reform work. Altlio we have not been able to approve of the method of procedure he followed, his cause was a good one and should have succeeded, i lis persistence, courage, unselfishness and devotion to the highest interests of the community in this crusade were unquestioned. One of the asides of this campaign is well worthy of mention. The writer of an article in the Honolulu press attacking him during his pursuit of Breckons contemptuously asked why Mr. Thwing did not attend to the special work which is supposed to be the care of clergymen, such for instance as the relief of orphans and the like. As a matter of fact at the very time this inquiry was put forth Mr. and Mrs. Thwing were with great generosity and unwearied self-denial taking care of no letl than nine little orphaned Chinese children in their own home. It was characteristic of him to make no reply to this personal attack. Thru all those unpleasant days not a sign of anger or of personal complaint escaped him. All that he did was for the benefit of the Asiatic community here and some day his faithfulness tq duty will be fully honored in this city. Meantime he will find abundant scope for all his patience, perseverance and love of righteousness in battling with the V* J* *J* J* *5* *V* opium curse in the great Empire of China.

S. M 4 jt j* jt : s CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN WAILUKU. During the last two months the Wailuku Union Church has been greatly blessed by increased interest and members. Five have been added by letter and three on the reaffirmation of tin it faith. The new members arc prominent in the business and social life of Wailuku and bring much strength into our Church. A committee acting under the Board of Trustees gave the people of Maui a rare treat by securing Mr. R. K. Bonine, the maker and exhibitor of famous Hawaiian pictures, for two evenings and an afternoon for children. Many people from all over Maui greatly enjoyed the exhibition, while the proceeds equipped the Church with an acetylene lighting plant. The most successful social event in Wailuku for many months was the German Market given at the William and Mary Alexander Parsonage. Several German peasant costumes were in evidence and the house was beautifu'hdecorated with Easter lilies, bamboo, hybiscus. bunting and large German eagles. Nearly one hundred people bought real German food at the lone counter. Some even recalled their German from school days, and those born in the Vaterland felt much at h mie. This was the first supper the ladies of the Church had undertaken. Everyone had such a good time, the experiment may be repeated. The Kaahumanu Church is taking on new life. The work of Rev. L. B. Kaumeheiwa is proving that many nonChurch going Hawaiians can be reached by earnest pastoral calling and faithful ministrations in regular services. Mr. Dodge preaches for Mr. Kaumeheiwa every other Sunday at Wailuku, and the alternate Sunday at Waikapu. In the evening by Mr. Waltrip's friendly arrangement, Mr. Kaumeheiwa preaches to thirty or forty people in the Kahulut Church. Thus he ministers to a large �5 THE FRIEND, July, 1009. LEPER building.

There is a total membership of sixtythree in the Kalaupapa Church, which has an "apana" at Kalawao, a little leper village at the foot of the wonderfully beautiful mountains rising abruptly 4000 feet. At Kalawao, too, the new Federal leprosarium has been erected. The picture of the Kalawao mountains gives the reader a good conception of the splendid location of these new buildings. Our leper Church building is in wretched condition, being so thoroughly rotten that in a short time it will tumble down of itself. This is the case, although the few repairs in the way of new shingles, have kept the water out and preserved the shell for the time being. The attempt is now being made to raise enough money to build new within a year or two.

The author's life-long study of the Turkish Empire, and his exceptional opportunities for first-hand and inside information in regard to the actual situation there enable him to give a most interesting and perspicuous account of the causes leading up to the recent upheavals in the Turkish gov- ernment. Nowhere have we seen so graphic a description of the character and wiles of the late Sultan in his unspeakable despotism, whereby he has held at bay the forces, external and internal, which endangered his supremacy, and fortified himself against his own subjects by his successful appeal to the wider Mohammedan world. The social, moral and religious conditions of the empire are clearly portrayed. The last half of the book gives a thorough insight into the problems of Turkey's regeneration, the difhcultle» in the way, and the far-sighted, persistent and heroic character of the miss*onary operations which have been carried on in that land. $1.50 net.

At the time this article is written, the license commissioners of the several islands are busy, checking up the tickctof-leavc "merchants," for another year of suspended sentence. There has not been, of course, in any quarter, any expectation of radical betterment of the saloon situation in the islands at this time. But those who read the high-class papers and magazines, have entertained a hope that some signs of the new era, now at full daybreak on the mainland, might show, however faintly, in the deliberations of the new commissions. That hope turns out to have been not wholly delusive, and that the signs are faint is not discouraging; for while Hawaii is a conservative community, almost to the point of being reactionary, and is situated on the extreme periphery of the Union, it is not un intelligent, nor deaf to the vo; ces of the new politics; and, in the long run, is sure to answer back, in kind, the cheers of human brotherhood from beyond the sea. A study of the personnel of the opening session, in Oahu, presented unusual elements of interest, in view of subsequent proceedings. The commission— so much of it as might be supposed to carry any menace to the evil business that was due, snake-like, to shed its skin and beg for a new covering—was composed of young men in whose hearing, good breeding, liberal culture, and clean living were not more visible, than inexperience in tackling the seasoned and aggressive exploiters of the men and the families that lose. The captains of dissipation were out in force, each, openly or covertly. with his string of saloons, and each wearing the cock-sure expression of the cat that has eaten the canary. The situation certainly did look good to them. And their eyes did not greatly deceive them. The stuff was there, in the men behind the tables; and the law was there; to wipe their wretched occupation off the map of lawful industries, without the quiver of an eyelid, if that uncomplicated question had been up. But the question was not, nor was anything that was up. uncomplicated. The commissioners did not quite understand the law, the quest-on, or themselves. The law had made them, in their organized capacity, the public discretion. They understood that they had only been appointed official guessers at the public sentiment, i.e., the quor sentiment would ratify. So, insftitd of going straight into their own brain* and hearts and knowledge, and siiH Shat asking what would best subserve the safety, happiness, and prosperity of the people, they played ducks and drakes with guesses and surmises. The question was, what number of drink-shops were needed for the wellbeing of the community, and where the permitted ones would better be located ? They only asked themselves what number, how disposed would satisfy the unruly and undesirable part of the community. They were set to do the right thing. They set about finding what would be the easy thing. They got as little grasp on themselves as they did on the law and the question. Nothing imaginable would have induced either of them to keep a saloon, or operate a distillery, or a brewery. But, on the other hand, neither of them could face the thought of being called ''reformer." "agitator." or "missionary," at the club—itself a liquor seller. The whole position, on their side, was saturated with confusion. They found themselves in a sort of moral tide-rip, that suggested rocks and life-preservers, and so, they played safety, and proceeded by the old chart of the license system, pure and simple, and let the twentieth century prohibitory features of their opportunity and duty go overboard. They knew, d'rnly, the basic moral implication of the combination; but they did not quite see where it might carry them. They knew all about the ethics of investment, and, not unnaturally, stuck to what they knew. So. this was the kind of arguments that went: not all of them actually presented, but all understood, and considered, and effective, "I have found a location, in a theater, where more people will be available for exploitation. I desire leave to move." "I have an unexpired lease for a year. Tf you refuse to license a saloon, to take it off my hands, you will cause me to lose money." "If you refuse me a renewal for having violated the law, a Chinaman will pet a monopoly." "Mv stock and fixtures are worth nine thousand dollars." "My corner is disorderly, but my business supports three families; the trouble is caused by a Japanese billiard room." One applicant was vouched for, in these words "The trouble with our neighborhood is not liquor. I wish to pod we had more saloons and fewer churches." The argument that a better location meant more sales and more harm; that an orderly saloon, in a residential dis- July, 1909. trkt occupied by the poor, did not signify peace and order in the homes; that the more prosperous the residential saloon is, the poorer the community is, that wholesale dealers, with strings of tied saloons, were the most dangerous of liquor sellers! None of these things cut any figure. The chief anxiety of the commission was, to be fair, or better, to the men of prey. The men, women and children preyed upon could not present their side in terms of investment, and of course they lost. On the investment basis, the liquor dealers had every advantage. On that level, they have no equals in the world of experts. Other business men have a variety of interests—religion, sport, society. The liquor dealer is absolutely focussed on his one ewe-wolf, selling drink. It is not only his business; it is his sport, his rest, his politics, his meditation. No fishhawk knows its case better, nor drives more accurately to the main chance. Things went so smoothly for the licensees, when the protests were "only on principle," that their spirits soared for a hard fall. There was no reform tendency visible in the commission, but. when that subject was reached, there turned out to be a clear and serious purpose as to violations of law—better than reform, without such a purpose. It was well known that one of the licensed restaurants was a Sunday saloon, in fact, and a chronic lawbreaker. The commission promptly decided to take away its Sunday, and afterhours privilege. The investment argument was, that, without that privilege, the business would not survive, and that, in that case, the widow of a deceased liquor dealer would lose the rental income. It fell flat. Then the g; n generals played the bluff of demanding that innocent restaurants be included in the order, and were promptly "called." The commission had arrived at the age of "discretion," in an hour's time, and all restaurants lost the privilege of selling drinks on Sunday and after-hours. Hotels too. At this writing it is too early to record the exact gain. But there is progress. Niihau is without a drink shop; so is Lanai, and also Molokai. Maui wipes out one liquor house, and closes the hotel bar on Sunday. Oahu will diminish the drink shops ten per cent, or more. Meanwhile, the anxious look has returned to the faces of the alcoholic admirals, and they are ready to promise anything that a gracious commission sees fit to impose, in the way of regulations. The liquor situation here, as on the mainland, is paved with good intentions �THE FRIEND July. 1909 7 would like to have some of our young mathematicians try their hand at a numerical puzzle..

The ceremonies were observed in accordance with the Shinto rites, this beine- the national ceremonial cult, and were most solemn and impressive. The spirits of the heroic dead were addressed as though present to hear the words of gratitude, reverence and prayer. After various ascriptions and prayers had been intoned by the priests, the white coverings were removed from the offerings, disclosing to view large rice cakes, two pyramids of pink and white confections, a large fish, and several pyramids of golden fruits, while in the centre were two living ducks that kept their heads pointing upwards and their bills in constant action, but never breaking the silence with a sound. These offerings, displayed in the midst of green branches and floral decorations made a pleasing picture. Following the priestly ceremonial, others, representing the people, advanced toward the monument, paused, and with respectful gesture, offered their expressions of reverence. First in order came Consul Uyeno, and following, in turn, the War Veterans, the Red Cross Society, the Aikoku Fujin Kwai, i.e., Woman's Love of Country Society, and the Shokonsai Committee. The exercises were concluded with a war song rendered by the pupils of the six Japanese schools of the city. In the grounds of the Xuuanu street Japanese School there stands a monoT lith which appeals strongly to the spirit of reverence in the mind of every Japanese man, woman and child that beholds it. On the face of the stone are chiseled three idiographs, Kyo Chu Hi —loyalty revealing memorial—which were penned by the hand of Admiral Togo for this monument, and were enlarged by photograph, and reproduced in the Admiral's own chirography on this stone. This monument was erected in honor of the hrave men who, in war, have laid down their lives on the altar of their Fatherland, and the ceremonies which were observed before it on the 27th day of June may be compared to the ceremonies of our Decoration" Day. In Japanese the day is known as Shokonsai. The battle of the sea of Japan took place on the 9th of May, and that is the day 011 which these exercises would naturally have fallen, but the ceremony was postponed until the arrival of the Japanese squadron, in hopes that the officers and men would be able to join in the celebration.

Christian comity aims at the cordial and considerate cooperation and fellowship of all bodies of believers while yet retaining each its own separate organism. There are innumerable difficulties in the way of Christian unity, largely due to the individualism of organizations of believers in matters of polity, of doctrine, of historic continuity, of inherited prejudice, and of denominational pride. No body of Christian believers in these retpectl is blameless. Many Churches are prepared to make some concessions in order to promote organic unity with all other Churches; but no Church is as yet prepared to make the necessary and essential concessions, much less all of the Hence the discussion of Churches. Church unity, while promotive of the end sought, must for a long time yet be largeIj academic. When every organization of Christian believers reaches in its polity and belief the simplicity of the primitive Church, then Christian unity will become a realized fact. Until then the foremost duty of every Christian Church and organization is to practice Christian comity. That aims at the cordial and considerate cooperation of all Christian Ixxlies while yet retaining each its own separate organism. Christian comity forbids controversy and unbrotherly criticism. It promotes fraternalism and sympathy. It means the practice Of the mind of Christ on the part of every Christian, and of every Christian Church, toward every other Christian, and every other Christian Church. We believe that a sincere adherence to this spirit will immeasurably promote the cause of Christ in Hawaii, and will contribute more certainly than anything else to the compassing of the great wish and prayer of the Master, that his disciples may all be one. -All men were lovers of Phillips Brooks. His winsome and catholic spirit won men to his type of Christian belief. We must rank him as one of the modern prophets in the commonwealth of Christian Churches; for no one has said a truer word on the spirit that should dominate every Christian communion "Tolerance," addressed to the students of the Divinity Schools of the Protestant Episcopal Church: "So long as any Church is aware that there are Christians to whom she, as she is now constituted, cannot open her doors, she must be more than content—she must be thankful and rejoice—that there arc forms of worship and groups of believers in which those Christians for whom she lias no place may find fellowship with one another and feed their souls with truth.

CHILDREN'S DAY. The other event in which the children of the church were given recognition was the annual children's day service. Sunday. June 13. Besides the usual participation of the various departments of the Sunday school, there was the graduation of the first minister's class, six boys and girls who had completed the course of studies assigned by the minister, and the recognition on the part of the church of all the children who had been baptized when children and. who, this year are seven years old. It was a pretty sight to see twenty-eight of these previous charges of the church lined up on the platform where they each received a Bible from the minister and a word of recognition from him. In this way they are reminded of their connection with the church and of the church's interest in them. One could not help but be impressed anew with the importance of these various lines of work among the children, and the suggestion naturally arose that there is still one other feature that should receive attention and that is the organization of some club or society among the boys, to hold their interest after they begin to drop out of Sunday school. Some organization that will help them to grow into clean, pure manhood. A. A. E. ORDINATION OF REV. TAKIE OKUMURA. The ordination of Mr. Okumura, who had been in evangelistic work for bis countrymen for nearly fifteen years, was conditionally approved by the Oahu Island Association, at their meeting held in Waikane in April, at which a committee was appointed to examine the candidate, and if satisfactory to arrange for the service of ordination. 9 This most interesting exercise of ( >r sionary effort.

The most striking examples of the power of Jesus Christ to save men from deep degrading sin that have come under my personal observation are furnished by the work of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. During the last few clays of May it was my privilege to attend the great convention of Railroad Y. M. C. A. members at St. Ixmis, Mo. Over 1300 men were in attendance at this convention, many of them officials but most of them conductors, engineers, switchmen and other employees. If I needed anything to stiffen my faith in the power of the gospel. I got it. Never in any gathering have I seen sc many men who had been changed from wild drunken railroad men into fine, Christian, faithful employees, testifying to what Jesus had done for them. It was tremendously inspiring, and worth going a long way to experience. There was Conductor jim Burwick. Engineer Tom Kennan, Switchman Lawhead. This last man proved the reality of his conversion by getting to work on Bible study, and he has now enrolled over 400 men in a correspondence scheme of studying the Bible. His own scheme, by the way. Many others there were to whom Jesus has meant everything, and a loyal body of Christians they are. No Wonder. After having seen what the Association has done for these men it is small wonder that an official of the Pennsylvania road says that the Y. M. C. A. is the greatest invention since the Westinghouse air brake, considered simply as a safety appliance. At a great banquet held in the armory, a number of prominent officials spoke. Let me repeat the testimony of a few. Mr. Freeman, receiver for the I. & G. N., said of the Y. M. C. A.: "A necessary and economical investment, an investment paying ten fold." It is on this basis that most of the leading railroads put thousands of dollars into Y. M. C. A. work every year. President Brown of the New York Central told us that his road had put $700,000 into Y. M. C. A. buildings, and added: "No investment can ever pay as large returns." President Stevens of the ChesaA. peake and Ohio said they had Y. buildings at every division point, had spent $300,000 on them, and gave $10,-000.00 annually to carry on the work. Col. John J. McCook told how the Federal courts had ruled that contributions toward the work of the Y. M. C. A. are a legitimate item in the disbursements of a railroad receiver's accounts. But not the least event of the conference was the conversion in a service led by one of the secretaries of Mr. Gary, vice-president of one of the leading roads running into St. Louis. These Two Things. The convention inmressed me, then, in these two points: First, the great power of the gospel of our Lord to make wicked men good men, and second, the remarkable favor in which the Y. M. C. A. is held by railroad corporations. This feature of the workhad done great things, and made a most significant contribution toward the furthering of the interests of the Kingdom in the world of industry. The Omaii v Conference. From the convention of volunteer workers in St. Louis, we went to the conference of employed officers at ()maha. where 447 of us spent five and a half days discussing the work of promoting the Association along several new lines, or new features of old lines. Four commissions appointed a year ago reported, one on work for high school boys, one on work for immigrants, one on cooperation with the Church and Church clubs, and one on work for country men and boys, both in the country and as they come to the city. I have personally given some time to the matter of our new building, and will give a good deal more time to that work later. Dr. Bosworth was at the conference, and others who knew Honolulu people. Many inquired about Mr. Coleman, formerly of our Association. We had secretaries from India, Mexico, South America, China and Japan, but these were in the States on other business, and none had traveled so far for the purpose of the conference as the replesentative from Honolulu. Student Conference. The next thing on my program is a conference of western college men at Cascade, Colorado. From there to Dallas, Houston, El Paso, Texas, to study southern Y. If. C. A. buildings, and then to Los Angeles and Stockton, Cal., for the same purpose. After this we will confer with several architects in San Francisco, and then Hawaii nei, to try to put into operation the things learned on this trip, which is being of so great value to me. Paul Super. Erdman A Plan. It is a fact well known to all the members of the Hawaiian Board that only two young men are at present in training for the Gospel Ministry. Another fact not so well known is that there are at least a dozen Churches in the islands that are pastorless. To supply these Churches a half dozen men more or less advanced in age have been within the past two years ordained. These men, earnest and devoted though they be, have had practically no training for the important work to which they have been appointed. Even in numbers they are not sufficient to meet the needs. Another fact should be kept in mind, namely, many of our present pastors have spent freely their strength and energy in long service of the Church and are now aged and enfeebled. Soon they must lay aside the responsibilities they have faithfully borne: Who will take their places? To meet the pressing present need and the imminent future need, as yet, HO systematic plan has been adopted. The present arrangement by which a few of the better qualified young men arc being trained in the States is a slow and very expensive process, which cannot be sufficiently developed to satisfy all the requirements. The time is past due when some other provision must be made to supply the needed ministers. The suggested plan is simply this: to establish a Bible School where mental and spiritual instruction will be combined with practical training in the preparation of young men for the Gospel Ministry. There is nothing startling or original in the scheme, for similar methods are followed elsewhere and in fact have been used here in days gone by. The aim, however, would be to infuse the standard methods with an up-to-date and lively spirit which would make them more effective. Students. In the first place students should have certain qualifications for entrance. The day has passed when a pastor can fill his position without a knowledge of the English language. Every succeeding year will demand increasing use of English in our Churches so that the coming pastor must be able to speak the language in order to do efficient work. Hence a qualification for students should be, ability to read books �11 THE FRIEND July, 1909. students would be a wonderin English and to speak the language secrated and help to all our inspiration ful more or less correctly. Churches. in itself aid imposwill test of This During the three summer months ing a second qualification, namely, that students would be of great serto a these wise set not be of age. It may fixed limit for the age of entering students, but it is doubtful whether a man above thirty years of age would be qualified to do the work in the school and receive the benefit which he ought. Of course, there are exceptions therefore no fixed limit should be made. The aim should be, however, to admit only young men who would more readily absorb progressive methods. The other usual and necessary qualifications, such as uprightness of character, rectitude of conduct, spirituality, and determination to make the Ministry one's life work, of course, should be required. Studies. The course might cover say two years of nine months each; recitations for 5 being from 9 to 12 each morning hours days of the week, making thus 15 per week. Two hours in the afternoon, say from 1 to 3 o'clock, should be given to study in preparation for the following day. The curriculum should include at least the following subjects: Bible Study, Church History, Biblical DocHomiletics, including sermonizpastoral duties, and S. S. Norand ing mal Study. The fifteen hours each week might be divided among these subjects, say, as follows: Bible Study, 5 hours; Church History, 3; Biblical Doctrine, a; Homiletics, 3; S. S. Normal, 2. Experimental Training. At least three evenings each week should be spent in conducting meetings in the various missions and apana chapels in and about the city, the students going out two by two to carry on these meetings under the supervision of teachers, thus acquiring facility and ease in speaking, learning the best methods of leadership, and developing in themselves a lively desire to save men. In connection with these meetings there would be, of course, house to house visitation, giving training in another practical line. On Sundays the students would have practice in teaching Sunday School classes in the various Churches and where qualified might be sent out to supply some pastorless flock. The blessing which would result from the work of such a band of con- eventually prove a necessary part of the Board's work. There would certainly be a good return on the comparatively small amount put into such an experiment, vice, working under the direction of and yet it would be possible to give up the Board's Agents or of the pastors of the trial later on without feeling that any funds of the Board had been used the larger Churches of the islands. Such a schedule of study and work unwisely. would well fill the student's time and not allow any distracting outside work. THE MEDIATOR. Physical Features. The location of the school should be in Honolulu, and for a beginning the Miller street property, opposite the Portuguese Church, might be inexpensively repaired and refitted for such a school. Living rooms could be partitioned off to accommodate 5 or 6 students with ample space still left for recitation rooms. The expenses incurred for food for the students would not average more than ten dollars ($10.00) a month pel student—suppose 5 students, fifty dollars per month. For a housekeeper, probably the wife of one of the students could fill this position, say, $15.00 per month; extras $10.00 per month making a total expense of $75.00 per month, or for a school year $675.00 ; for two years' course $1350.00. I do not know the exact cost of sending a student to Hartford for 2 years' course, but should estimate that it could not be done for less than $1000. Now with the expenditure of verylittle more, after two years we have five (5) well equipped pastors instead of one (1), and in addition have received meantime the benefit of the large amount of service they render while students. The comparative advantages of the two investments are clear, and all point toward the wisdom of setting up a local school. This school, of course, would be open to all nationalities and it is well to bear in mind that among the best Chinese and Japanese workers of the Board to day are the young men who have grown up in the islands, receiving education in our boarding schools. As to the teaching force, it would seem possible to divide the work among a number of the Board's workers living on Oahu so that no new expense need be incurred in this line. One might be appointed to have charge, and to be with other teachers a faculty for perfecting and administering the affairs of the school. Beginning thus in a small way without a great outlay of money, the experiment could be tried and might ; "Within the Four Seas all are Brothers" The Sons of the Orient say ; And the Occident fervently niters Its longing for brotherhood's sway So God brings our brothers beside us From the uttermost parts of the earth, Where four seas enclose, not divide us, While he opens our eyes to their worth.

Mills Institute, the Japanese Boarding School, the Korean Mission School, addresses from the Principals of these different institutions, and many other features, proved of much interest to the friends of many different nationalities who gathered to show their interest in and sympathy with the work to be here carried forward. Especially would we refer to the beautiful "welcome" given by Rev. Mr. Nakuina, on behalf of the Hawaiian people, to this educational work. In a most touching and sympathetic spirit he referred to the kindly "aloha" of his people, which the many and varied races here gathered have had abundant reason to remember. It was a joy and inspiration to have with us Rev. Dr. Sheffield. President of Tung Clio College, near Peking, North China, who, for forty years has been engaged in educational work in China. His helpful and sympathetic address was much appreciated and his words of encouragement will ever be a stimulus to go forward with the work of the MidPacific Institute, trusting that it may be a help not only to Hawaii but to the Orient and all the world. The visitors on this occasion were delighted and surprised to sec the advance already made with the work. Already the walls are rising Up into the second story and the splendid proportions of this noble building with frontage of more than two hundred feet, are coming grandly into view. Against the dark background of our picturesque island stone the brilliant flags of many nations shone out in fine contrast, waving a welcome to the youth of all races to find here a home and Christian training. Tn splendid elided characters thequotation from the Sage of the Far East, Confucius,"With■n the four seas all men are brothers," arranged along the front of the growing building seemed to voice the feeling of the day and the spirit of the work, here to be done. A magnificent view is to be obtained from the building. The beautiful valley of Manoa may be seen in all its varied loveliness while a glorious stretch of ocean and coast line, with the full profile of Diamond Head, seem spread out almost at the observer's feet. It is a goodly point on which to rear a noble school and such we trust will prove to be the future of the one now here rising. Some monthswill vetclapse before the building will be completed but by another school year we trust it will be the home of many earnest and ambitious students. The friends of this work will be pleased to know that a loyal and generous supporter of our school who has already done so much for its advancement has just donated a �further splendid gift of land to the institution, which gives now to the school the full ownership of the noble natural terrace upon which it stands.

Hall, the new home of Kawaiahao Sem- inary, the graduating exercises of the class of '09 held there on Wednesday afternoon, June 5, marked the first real Seminary function to be celebrated there. It was, too, the first time in which the beautiful Assembly Hall has been used in a formal way. This is one of the most carefully planned and suitable school halls in the Territory. On this particular day it was most appropropriatelv decorated and the drooping graceful ferns of Manoa, with groupings of palm fronds, made a lovely setting for the nearly one hundred girls of many nationalities in their white dresses who occupied the seats in the center of the hall. The "Processional" with which the program opened, was strikingly effective and as the senior class entered through the opening ranks of their school-companions and advanced along the way guarded by garlands of white and green, one could not but hope that it might be prophetic of a happy journey through life awaiting them. Nine girls graduated from the eighth grade and received appropriate certificates. ()f these a number are to return to the more advanced work which the Seminary is to offer in the coming year. A number of pleasing songs and choruses were sung showing careful and thorough training. The essays read were extremely interesting and delivered with excellent enunciation. The subjects were well chosen, such as the writers could well grasp from their own knowledge and experience. Miss Bosher and her Faculty are to be most warmly congratulated upon tin- successful dose-of this first year of the life of Kawaiahao Seminary in its new home.

Principal Merrill and his Faculty this year to vary the closing of Mills Institute by having their students give a number of scenes from the noble play of "William Tell" by Schiller. It proved to be a notable and splendidly satisfactory performance and reflected great credit upon all who trained the performers and those who look part. 'I he students seemed to enter with unusual spirit and enthusiasm into the lite of the play. It was the voice ot the great human heart crying out eloquently for liberty and freedom from the oppressor's yoke. 1 hough before you were Chinese, Japanese and Korean boys, speaking in English, a translation of the noble and immortal lines of a German poet, in a setting of the tropics rather than of the Alps, yet there seemed to be nothing incongruous and unfitting. Perhaps the growing sense of the glory and beauty of human liberty as it is beginning to dawn on these lads from the Orient gave a color and earnestness to their performance, which you felt came from the heart. The noble and spreading trees in the Institute grounds made a beautiful background on the great and touching play. The costumes and different scenes were most skilfully arranged. Those who were privileged to be present will not soon forget the play of the fine lipht, the dusky shadows out of which emerged the forms of friend and foe, the earnest and hearty spirit of the voting actors. It was indeed a fine ending to a school year which has been one of the best and most successful in the history of this institution. decided �THE FRIEND 14 July, 1909 Daily Bible Readings.—Aug. 9, Monday, Acts 18:23-19:22—"The way of God."

After the schools had done their parts, there were short addresses from Hon. J. W. Moanauli of Hamakua, Hawaii; Mr. Peter N. Kahokuoluna, of Paia, Maui; Mr. J. H. S. Kaleo, of Honolulu, and Hon. W. H. Rice, of Lihue, Kauai, the president of the Association. At the conclusion of the addresses, the meeting was dismissed and the great majority of the audience went up to the Mid-Pacific Institute in Manoa Valley in cars that had been generously provided by Mr. Rice. A bountiful luau had been arranged by the committee, consisting of Messrs. Archer, Kanakanui and Nahalau, and the hungry multitude found a delightful assortment of Hawaiian dishes, well cooked. Capt. Berger's band played for the people for a while after the luau, and then the crowd adjourned, a part at least, to the new building of the Mid-Pacific that is to be called "Mill's School." The laying of a memorial stone was a very interesting and happy occasion and called forth expressions of appreciation and good wishes from representatives of several nations. Sunday morning there was nothing on the program for the especial benefit of the Sunday School Association, and in consequence many of the delegates were able to visit the city schools and see how they are conducted. In the afternoon a song service at Thomas Square called out a large number who were not afraid of the showers that were coming down from Manoa and Punchbowl. The Hawaiian band had offered their services for the occasion and they were accepted. After a few selections from the band, the various delegates grouped themselves according to islands, and songs were sung by these groups. The town people that were present seemed to be impressed by the interest that was shown by the delegates from the other islands and also by their knowledge of the Hawaiian hymns, so that they were able to sing without using any books. At Kawaiahao Church that evening there was a meeting in the interests of the Sunday Schools and addresses were made by Rev. Amos A. Ebersole, Mrs". May Wilcox and Rev. Edward B. Turner of Paia, Maui. Mr. Ebersole's theme was, "The Adult Bible Class." Mrs. Wilcox told of the organization of the Kawaiahao Sunday School and the advantages of the system of study used there, and Mr. Turner spoke on "Teacher Training." These addresses were admirable and it is unfortunate that a larger audience did not avail themselves of the opportunity to receive ideas on the Sunday School that �16 were helpful and of real value to all workers among the young people. Monday was the day upon which a large part of the business, aside from the reading of reports, was transacted, and the docket was cleared up before the afternoon was over. The Association adjourned to meet again at Kailua, North Kona, in the latter part of May, 1910. July1, 909. THE FRIEND. An account of this tour will be given and the C.

We make tours of the islands of Lanai and feel that this experience will be of great Molokai before returning to Honolulu benefit, not only to these, our delegates, on July 18. It was his intention to be but that through them many will be present at the Sunday-school rally and strengthened in their Christian lives hoike at Kaunakakai on July 4. Miss Florence Y. Palmer, well known lovers of children by her widely used One Year of Sunday School Lessons for Young Children, has just issued a second volume* to supplement the first. It is a model book for primary work in a twentieth century Bible School and should be known by every wide awake Christian mother. Gradually, every year of the up-to-date graded Bible School is being supplied with worthy text books. It will not be long before the reproach of old time Sunday School methods will have been removed. Miss Palmer promises a third volume which, with the two now issued, will cover the three primary years. to * A Second Year of Sunday School Lessons for. Young Children by Florence Y.

Alexander's second edition of The Islands of the Pacific* lies before us. It is beautifully gotten up and the illustrations are especially valuable. The amount of information packed into the eighteen chapters is amazing. Inasmuch as the story of the Pacific Islands forms one of the noblest chapters of Christian conquest, this book is a mine of good It things for the lover of missions. should find its place in the missionary library of every church or young people's society. Mr. Alexander has the happy faculty of telling a story well and he knows how to vary his narrative with incidents that throw a flood of light upon native customs and upon the progress of the people from barbarism to Christian civilization. The story of the intercourse of the white race with the Polynesian abounds in lights and shades. The author is especially skilful in his selection of the abundant materials at his disposal so as to bring out most strikingly these contrasts of good and evil influence. Tho called a second edition there are so many changes and additions that it might almost be termed a new work. We miss an index, a very serious omission in a book of this character. We know of no other publication than this covering exactly what every intelligent person wants to know and ought to know about the Pacific Islands. It deserves the widest circulation. • The Islands of the Pacific by James M. Alexander. American Tract Society, New York. �July, 1909 17 THE FRIEND Hawaii Cousins Ransacking old trunks and boxes may bring to light unexpected treasures. It was in this way that an en- graving of Lahainaluna Seminary in the early thirties was found. A little pocket diary, also, from November, 1827, to March, 1828, written on the "Parthean" when coming around The Horn, was found. The pencil marks are almost illegible, but what can be deciphered is very interesting. A picture of the Waialua Church, painted on a koa board by one of the teachers in Waialua Seminary has also been resurrected. News has been received of the death of Mrs. Caroline (Rogers) Deming over a year and a half ago; of the removal of Mrs. Waters to 113 West 43 St., New York City; that Mrs. Sara 1 ving) Roberts is living in Iloilo, Panav, P. I.; and that the present residence of Liram Bingham, Ph.D., is 367 Prospect street, New Haven, Conn. Miss Dora Simpson, M.D., from "Good Samaritan Hospital," Jhelum, asks that the Hindus and Mohammedan's of India may be remembered in prayer, as they are so bound by custom and superstition that their hearts open to the light of Christ very slowly. Rev. E'rank Thompson, of Valparaiso, Chili, writes "Compelled by illhealth I was obliged to retire from active service a little over two years since and am just biding my call. I beg to assure you that our love for Hawaii has never abated one jot. The people, our Cousins, still possess our whole heart." Miss Helen S. Norton writes from E!ustis, Florida, "I am deeply interested in all your doings as reported in The Friend, and hope the Society maysecure the Old Mission Home and the Chamberlain property for the purposes proposed. I wish a tablet might be erected or placed on the Kawaiahao grounds to mark the site of the old printing establishment, bindery, residence of the missionary physician and of the Seminary. You are doing such a splendid work for the various races that I wish this land where race hatred is growing more and more intense might learn a lesson from you, but the curse of slavery rests upon all, and they that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind." From one of Lucia Lyon's vacation letters from Peitaiho we quote this description of a river ride: "I know you will rejoice to see the heading of this letter and know that I am here at last. Let me see, I left off where we had just been at Tsang Chou, didn't I? Well, the last two days on the river were not quite so comfortable as those before, because it was warmer and there were a great many flies. However, we had a big mosquito net, so that we were not troubled when we wanted to sleep, and we had a grand chase before each meal. "Monday evening we wanted to get as far along as possible, so we kept on going until about 9 o'clock, and Miss Peel and I sat on deck and recited poetry. We tied up for the night at a much smaller place than any we had stopped at before, and it was very quiet. The next day about the middle of the morning we reached the outer barrier, where there is an official who examines the boat's papers. From there it is quite a long way to the real custom house, but we got there along in the afternoon some time, and after that we were fairly in the city. I have never stayed on the boat so far up into the city before, and it was very interesting. There were ever so many boats lying You can Eat your cake and have it 9' in a very real sense. , You can give away your property and have it, —really enjoy it, as long as you live.

The graduating class A good many of them had broueht cargoes of watermelons from Shantung, and the banks were just lined with them, and the river was full of the rinds. There were a good many fishing boats with nets suspended from poles, which were lowered into the water like dredges, and crowds of children on the bank watched when they came up, and shouted and cheered over a good haul. We saw a few Japanese in foreign clothes going up or down the river in small boats, or crossing bridges, but we did not see a single European or American. Finally, we reached what they call the iron bridge just as we were eating our supper. It was just closing as we came around the bend, and was not to open until the next morning, so we settled down to spend the night there. When we had finished our supper, Miss Peel and I went out for a little walk along the big road which runs beside the river. We could not go very far for fear it would get dark, and we had to get on to our boat by going across three others, by means of boards stretched across. It was a queer place to sleep, in the midst of a jam of boats in a great city, with boatmen veiling back and forth as they brought their boats into position and, stranger still, the rumble of electric cars going over the bridge." them. We wish we could place in the hands of every parent a booklet called "How to Tell Children the Origin of Life." The delicacy of the subject and the difficulty of presenting it to children leads many parents to keep silence on this question which is of such vital importance to every boy and girl, and children are too often left to gather their information as to life's most holy relations from ignorant and corrupt acquaintances. This little pamphlet sets forth in a pure and interesting manner the sacredness of life's origin and is calculated to awaken in every boy or girl a feeling of reverence for the life of purity. It will be sent upon request of parents, pastors or teachers if accom panied by a return envelope, stamped and addressed. The Vir Publishing Co., 208 North 15th St., Phila., Pa.
