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

No. 8 To Honolulu's Credit. On the Sunday of the Fleet's stay, one whose duty it is to look after violations of law. dressed in sailor garb, mingled with the seamen on shore. Meeting men who looked as though they might not be averse to a shady time, he asked, "Where can I get a drink?" "Can't get nuthin in this town today. Every place is shut tight as a drum," was the response. A similar inquiry concerning haunts of vice met a like rejoinder that Honolulu was a clean town. This experience certainly speaks volumes for Sheriff laukea's integrity and sterling devotion to duty, A base attempt to discredit him has reacted upon its authors. The withdrawal of support or at least the lack of sympathetic backing on the part of men, who should stand with him to the end in his determination to attack the social evil where respectability is pinched, has made him so realize the loneliness of his position that he has refused again t'> stand for office. Meantime his single handed tight againsl tins curse has sent the Fleet away with the conviction ••Honolulu is Is not this worth a clean town." every man with not Should while? any spark of manhood in him rally about our Sheriff with Hie kind of loyalty that loves courage and devotion to duty? If Ilawaiians are wise they will demand another term for Sheriff [aukea. No one claims that he has made no mistakes but his closing of Iwilei during the presence of the Reel when by winking at violation of the law he might have retired from office with a handsome bank account is witness enough that the Hawaiian race can produce a real man. The Friend lias consistently believed that given half a chance there is the capacity for sturdy honest twentieth century manhood in the Hawaiian. It believes so still. Meantime it is a joy to reflect that a few men whom some of the Tress and more of the Public have been ridiculing have won out in their fight to have Honolulu decent when the Fleet came. The canard that one or more of these men attempted to prevent shore leave or to have it restricted or to have pay day not fall during the stay of the battleships in this port was as untrue and as stupid as it was cowardly and mean. �THF E RIEND. 4 0 me FRIEND « HAND ™* \ FIRST IT IS POINTING (INDEX-LIKE W*~) to certain new facts concerning The Friend (a) It is not new that Dr. Scudder is Editor in Chief, but it may be new to you and a number of new readers.

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

There can he no doubt that the temperance wave has reached Hawaii. Many of the natives have ceased to drink, not a few of their leaders whom nothing could induce to support antisaloon measures, are out for local option and everywhere a new atmosphere is in evidence. The Sssociation re enthusiastic fleeted this chance in temper, li adonted the following reso lutions with a rising vote, the dele crates remained standing while the solemnly invoked the Moderator divine blessing and the secretary was requested to give the widest publicity to the action of the Association.

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

It glory of the evangelist is one, but the glory was the best training possible for those days, of the faithful ambassador of Christ, who and with all our improved equipment we have teaches when he cannot evangelize in the mass, is another. nothing better now. Writes Albert Shaw: "The finest, soundest, He was notably an effective preacher, as and most effective educational methods in use distinguished from an evangelist.

It was always in evidence. He could boy. in Father Lyman's school at Hilo. Those methods certainly were effectual in never forget that it was his great commission and when his preaching fell upon times that offered limited scope for the great passion of his soul, he accepted willingly the task of helping forward the kingdom in other ways. He came to Hawaii out of an atmosphere of evangelism in the homeland. The great Nettleton was of his own kith and kin. He had been an effective worker under the greater Finney. He was nurtured of Providence for the great pentecostal opportunities which he seized here at Hilo. and turned to such account in the early years of his ministry. "I preached just as hard as I could." he writes. "There was a fire in my bones." As proofs of the power of his evangelism. let me remind you that durin? the year ending June. 1830, there were 5.244 admissions into membership in this Haili Church; and that on the first Sunday in July, 1838, just seventy years ago next Sunday. 1.70s persons were received into this church on confession of faith. Admitting that this was a great popular movement, we must remember that it was not an unthinking impulse. Men were made aware of the seriousness of the step they proposed to take, and they took it intelligently. With such large numbers, relapses were certain, but it was afterwards computed that only one out to evangelize, of sixty failed to abide faithful. Very rarely has a community withstood the demoralizing influences of such a radical social and industrial overturn as the first Christian generations of Hawaii withstood ; and few have maintainthey did, the "d in such conditions so well institutions and practice of religion ; and never has such a record been witnessed before or since among any native people. There was power in the Word of God in those days. As we try to recall those scenes, we realize that we are standing within sacred nrecincts. This is holy ground: for hither God sent His evangelist: and here at his side stood the teacher also sent from God, and here the multitudes heard the Word and were saved. Is the power of the old evangel gone? Ts there no longer a real affinity between the Gospel of Christ and the hunger of the soul' "True preaching," said Beecher, "is yet to come." "The best teaching and the best preachint' of the Bible that the world has ever seen." writes one of our keen modern thinkers, "are still ahead." "The world," wrote Father Coan. a generation ago, "will yet see greater things than science, civilization, sages, seers, and angels have ever seen." "Houses ar.d villages will vet he snrinkled over the land these desolate fields will yet rejoice under the hand of the tiller: our streams will sing and laugh in channels of industry; churches and schools shall bless the future Fenerations. Our streets and lawns shall be full of boys playing, and heaven will look down with smiles upon a redeemed land, upon a lost ocean gem restored, and shining in the sight of God." Being dead, the men of the toilsome years of the past still speak to us. The work they loved is still the work that must be done. The opportunity that came to them, has come to us. The two great forces that are to count in the progressive redemption of Hawaii are those of a sane and earnest evangelism, and of practical Christian teaching. We must not forget the spirit and labors of these two men of God, nor fail to catch some genuine inspiration from the thought of the communion of saints, whereby those who yet labor on, are compassed about with a cloud of witnesses to the power of the grace of Christ. Here stood Titus Coan, and here stood David Lyman. The benignant features of one : �9 THE FRIEND. look down upon me in benediction. The eagle eye of the other searches me through and through.

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

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

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

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

Then make the class grow, and to do this set ilic children lo work, Help them to fiel it is their class. Urge them to bring new scholars, being careful to tell them you want children who do not attend other schools. We once tried the plan of giving each child a bible for five new scholars tliey brought to the class. It was a mission school and very few bibles in the homes. We purchased bibles with very good print from the Bible house for JO cents each. The children, who earned bibles, vv ere expected to liriug Ihem to class each Sunday. An assistant carefully marked with pencil the day's Golden Text in each bible and so when the children were old enough to read, (hey found many precious verses marked in their bibles and were helped. Another thing: report at once to your pastor any new members who come into your beginner's class. An interesting and helpful class of Ihis kind is often the means of bringing whole families to the church and finally to Christ. One of many cases, I have in mind, that occurred during my Pansy Class experience. One Sabbath a dear little girl was brought by her grandmother to our class. She was happy at once and interested in every detail of our program. The two following Sabbaths she was absent and 1 was disappointed, hut the third week she came with a radiant face. Her grandmother told us the child's father was an atheist and was very angry when he found his little daughter had been to Sunday School. He forbade her ever to go again. She cried and pleaded hut he was firm. The third Sabbath she threw her arms about his neck crying. "Dear papa, please let me go!" and she won his reluctant consent. Before long the little sister came too and at Christmas they persuaded that father to come to the festival. There he met our pastor and soon afterward was persuaded lo join the choir. Before a year had passed the older members of that family all joined the church. "A little child shall lead Ihem." M WT.KLI.K W. WALKER, Honolulu. Hawaii Cousins The fifty-sixth annual report of the Hawaiian Mission Children Society has just been nublished and sent out to its widely scattered members. The printers have not only been very prompt this year and brought the booklet out in due time, but have made It very attractive in appearance. Three photographs are given. Mother Parker's picture, though not a good one, is the best that could be obtained, and will be greatly valued by all who knew lur. That of our missionaries, the Delaporte family, will interest all who have kept in touch with their great and good work on Nauru, from year to year. The new picture of the "Old Mission Home" gives another view of this most interesting spot.

What more is needed to round out a strong beautiful character, but the one glimpse of our loved and respected Cousin as be stands just inside the heavenly gates to greet his friends and welcome Ihe stranger to the perfected church above, where are no tears, and "(iod is the light thereof." We have sympathized, too, with our Cousin Harriet Needbain in the long sickness and death of her father. Early in May, there passed through Honolulu, on his way around the world as a Student Volunteer, the only son of our Cousin I.nella Andrews Kilborne. He expects to finish his education and then take up work in Turkey, near his relatives. Dr. and Mrs. Shepard Four of our young lady Cousins have been married (luring these short weeks.

Another event of great interest was ing there who bad been parishioners of bather Coan in the old revival days of 1836. and pupils of Father Lyman in the long ago. These were the ones, there being no descendants of bather Coan present, who drew the cords that revealed the window "Moses" with the motto, "lie led them by the band." bather Lyman's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were there to honor their ancestor, and when they had revealed, "The Good Shepherd," Judge F. l.vman and Mr. Kuftis Lyman told of the early work of these bathers and Mothers. All this was given in the Hawaiian language, as were the eloquent addresses of Key. S. L. Desha and Key. Samuel Kapu, Key. Mr. Oleson being the only one who spoke in English. His was a beautiful tribute to the character of these pioneers, whose work supplemented and dovetailed into each other and still continues, widening.

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

Bishop, as the oldest survivor of the missionaries in Hawaii formerly in tln- But the sad and deadly mischief of all this delusion is that belief in the Bible as containing the Word of God has been very generally undermined in the popular mind, and even our public editors do not hesitate to speak of (iod's Commandments with contempt. Very extensively also, leading Churches and Divinity Schools have openly abandoned the plain teachings of Christ and His Apostles, and permit themselves to teach contrary doctrines under the name of "new Theology.'" Altogether this constitutes a great and formidable Apostasy.

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

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

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

There is another phase of our obligation, viz., our duty to contribute to the clearer appreciation of the permanent value of missionary effort. In some respects.

For there is a vital connection between the labors Piiula, Puna. of the missionaries and every phase of September 17.—.Maui Association at Hawaii's evolution. A splendid opportunity lies right ahead for the Christian people of Hawaii to reach a large and influential constituency with information that will greatly quicken interest in us and our work. fhe mission boards aiid religious bodies of (ireater Boston are planning to hold a monster educational exposition in that city in the fait of 1909. "The plan and SCope of the proposed exposition includes almost a bewildering array of educational features; tableaux, pageants, dramas, illustrated lectures, and addresses by celebrated missionary speakers. Boston is an ideal place in which to try this plan which has been so helpful recently in Great Britain. The seat of the two oldest foreign boards, the second center of population in the United States, and with denominations working in close accord, Boston should achieve a great success in this venture." N'ovv Hawaii ought to be amply represented in this exposition. Any fair appraisal of the effect of missions here should comprehend the entire progress of the country in its material, social, educational and religious development. There will be little call for what is bizarre. Charts, pictures, products and whatever else would appeal to intelligent observers should be provided in profusion. A year's orcparation under the skillful guidance of a select committee ought to secure a representation of'Hawaii at Boston that will prove, even on the material side, one if the best advertising schemes yet devised. .■* ■* .«* The early missionaries to Hawaii had "\pert educators and statesmen among -hem.

To be sure •onie organizations have come into the field with their recognition of such facts father late in the day: and then even without realizing that they were some eighty years slow. Thus The Churchman, in commenting on the results of the Pan-Anglican Congress, says:"The missionary today does not go out with his i-onfessional standards as he once did. The Pan-Anglican Congress, if it has lone nothing else than this, has given unmistakable, undeniable proof, that missions demand education, statesmanship md w'sdoin. not piety or good intentions alone."

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

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

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

All through these islands are many that never enter into the privileges of the Sunday School. P.ring them to the -chinil with you and try to interest them in the study of the Bible. Wide-awake and growing SundaySchools in every community mean sources of righteousness and helpful service anion"' all people. Not only should the influence of each school he felt among its constituency in their spiritual uplift and development of character but the usefulness of each school in advancing the Kingdom of Heaven among those who know not the Christ should be worked with advantage. 'I'o this end tlv missionary spirit should he cultivated by superintendent and teadicrs alike. So Sunday School "liveth unto itself" nor does it exist solely for its own benefit. A dying Sunday School may he revived if the missionary spirit be instilled into the leaders of the school, do go out and bring in < titers, to be interested in the Christian work among all the various nationalities here and in the work among other lauds to the extent of giving time, sympathy, prayers ami financial help—this is to keep alive the spirit of missions, the very life itself of Christianity. 'I'be month of September will find the Hawaii Association meeting at Puula in Puna and the Maui Association gathering together at Kaluaaha Molokai.

We should be open to all reasonable suggestions and be on the lookout for new methods, few of our SundaySchools can be said to he ever-organized. A brief survey of the field will lead one to the idea that we need teacher-training classes or courses of study; that we need a home department in every church and Sundayschool, that we need adult. Bible classes and elementary classes that shall be efficiently led by capable men or women, that we need to develop healthy missionary zeal and create the strong temperance spirit in all our schools. We feel the need of all these things and therefore desire to meet the need of them by using the time and talents of loyal Christian workers. Reader, will you not do what you can to aid us in the great Sunday School work? We need scores of men and women in this form of service. Let the Superintendent know of your desire to help and he will try to place you where vnn can serve your Master in leading others to know and follow Him. ,« A A ,«* J* ■•* THE CHILD FOR CHRIST. E. B. Tt-RM K. The Christian world is awakening to the value of the child soul. And for this most significant fact, we must largely thank The International Sunday School Association—that wonderful blessed body of consecrated men and women which is directing the Bible study of over twentyfive million of people. Our proposition tonight is that the child must he won for Christ. I should like to put that statement in italics, in red letters, underline it and emphasize it in every wav possible. There is no fact in all our religious thinking, both religious and secular, that needs emphasis as does that fact. SOMI-. STATISTICS—NOT DXV. are regular attendants upon church services of worship; that perhaps 20 per cent, are irregular attendants, while fully one-half of the people of the United States never attend any service. Protestant or Roman Catholic. Who are these non-church goers' They are for the most part, of Protestant birth and affiliations. Roman Catholics are faithful church attendants. There is only one explanation why the people of the Roman Catholic faith are so obedient to their church's requirements. It is this: the early, continuous, studious and thorough training of the child. Francis Xavier. the great Roman Catholic priest of India, said: "Give me the children until they are seven yean old. and any one maytake them afterwards." Xavier would go through the streets of (ioa ringing a bell. entreating parents to send their children and slaves to he instructed. Through the lives of the young be left bis impress upon India. STARTLING FACTS, still question whether the ProChurch is neglecting her youth? Here are two facts: r 1.—Nine-tenths (<)O /r) of those who come into the membership of the Protcstirte churches in our country, do so before they are twenty years of age. and of our communicant membership comes from the Sunday Schools. 2.—The Church has permitted multitudes of youth to drift from its doors forever into the world. Through a comparison of the number of children in attendance upon Sunday Schools with the number of children within the scholastic age nf <■ and 18 years, as reported periodically through our national census, we may say, as a conservative estimate, that 40T of the Protestant unchurched masses were once within the pale of the Church. There are today 1,,000.000 hoys and girls in our country who never cross the threshold of a Sunday School, cither Protestant or Roman Catholic. Do yon testant PMjtJDICE pis.vi'i'i'.AuiNi;. 1 am very glad to say that much of the It has been carefully estimated that less than 30 per cent, of our population old-time prejudice in connection with �THE FRIEND September, 1908 child conversion is being done avvav with. I suppose this prejudice originally developed from the feeling that children did not sufficiently know just what a decision for Christ meant. But some of us feel that children know more about this subject than older ones do. It is certainly true that the children are not far from the Kingdom of heaven. I am sure that our great Leader, Jesus Christ, was never in sympathy with any effort made to discourage child decision for Him. When the disciples, so like many of this generation, rebuked the mothers for disturbing Christ with their children. He said, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." We can never forget the woe this supreme Lover of childhood pronounced upon those thoughtless ones, who cast stumbling blocks in the way of His little ones. Let us he doubly careful that the mill stone condemnation be not the fate of any of us. BIBLE stands FOR CHILD CONVERSION. There is .sufficient testimony from the Scriptures that the Bible stands for child conversion. We read of John the Baptist, that be was "tilled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb." Was it not Timothy of whom Paul said, "Prom a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures." There was little Samuel, who "ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod." The Jewish parents early taught their children, that the fear of the.Lord was the beginning of all wisdom. When Jesus asked that significant question of Peter. "I.ovest thou me?" I am glad that He first said, "Feed my lambs." Xot until He speaks the second time does Jesus say, "Feed my sheep." Why? P>ecause the lambs are the hope of the flock. flu- church of the future is the child of today. .Many of the early fathers were converted at a young age. Polycarp, martyred at the age of 95, declared that he bad served God 86 years, showing that he was converted at the age of 9 years. Matthew Henry, who wrote a standard commentary upon the liible, found his Savior before he was 11 years old. Jonathan Edwards says that he was converted at 7 years of age. Isaac Watts, the great hymn writer, saw the light at <' years of age. Joseph Gregg, when a child of 10 years, wrote the beautiful hymn— "Jesus and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee." Matthew W. Baldwin, of Philadelphia, the well-known builder of churches, as well as of locomotives, experienced a change of heart at an early age, and al- ways showed the greatest sympathy with children early deciding for Christ. WHY PREJUDICE IS DISAPPEARING. Perhaps for two reasons, the old prejudice on this subject, is becoming a thing of the past. It is due first to a revival in Personal work. 'I'be Christian Church, with its great lay army, is just awakening to a sense of its immense opportunities. Years ago the minister was deputed to talk to individuals about their soul's salvation. Today every man and woman who loves the Lord Jesus, recognizes his own, and her own responsibility in this matter. This is the only way, when every disciple is a witness, that the world will ever be brought to the feet of the lowly Xazarenc. Hut there is also another revival that has tended to emphasize the necessity for child witnessing. And that is a revival of the teaching function of the church: the placing of a larger emphasis on a studied Word. And in proportion as Christians know the Wr ord of God, they will be more willing to use it. Possibly some are still saying. "Put why make any such special effort to win the child to Christ? Just let him grow up naturally. He will probably come out all right in the end. Religion is a thing anyway which can not he forced upon child or man." Why make a special effort to win the boy and the girl to Christ, when they are yet in their youth? WHY WIN Till-: BOY AND GIRL TO CHRIST YOUTH. I can think of three good reasons: IN THEIR 1. Adolescence has often been shown to be the psychological time in which to make lasting life decisions. It is easier to definitely decide to accept Christ in one's youth, than at any later period in life. The heroic nature of Christ's life; 1 lis life of ministering unto others and His sufferings all appeal tremendously to the young heart. Do you ask how old a child should be, before he definitely decides for Christ? Does that not depend wholly upon the individual child and upon his previous home training? Xot all children are made after the same pattern, and each child is worthy of an individual study. I imagine more decisions have been made for Christ, centering about the age of twelve than any other age. A child is old enough to love Christ, when he is old enough to love father and mother. 2. Youth is not only the easiest time in which to decide for Christ, but there are nine chances out of ten that the decision will never he made, if not made in youth. Seventy per cent, of the men in our state penitentaries and reformatories are 15 men under years of age. \\ bo is to blame? Lord Shaftesbury, speaking out of his lifelong experience and study. said that it had been his observation that if a hoy is kopt pure and true up to 20 years of age. there is only one chance in fifty against hitn as to an honorable life voting thereafter. Some of the good people sitting before me tonight know absolutely nothing of the temptations that beset young men and young women, especially after they have left home and begun life in the larger cities. ()ur youth are surrounded by tons of infamous printing: the dime novel is thrust at them from every news stand; immoral and obscene pictures secretly find them through the mail. Anthony Comstock. the Secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, says: "Like the fiery serpents of old. this poisonous literature is moving against these millions of developing souls, infecting them with moral leprosy, stinging them to death." f haven't time to more than mention the insidious temptations to drink and gambling with all their debasing and debauching accompaniments. Their terrible effects are seen all about us. The overwhelming distractions of our modern social life is doing much to drive our voting people away from the Church and the Christ. Thousands of our young men and our voting women are drifting on the currents of worldliness, commercialism, materialism. Sabbath pleasureseeking and social dissipations that surge through all life. It is time that we were asking, "How is it possible to counteract such soul'I'be public destroying influences-" schools do not teach the Word of God— and, oh ! the pity of it. f would rather my boy learned character anil to do right, than to know by heart all the books in the world. 3. The third reason why the child ought to be won to Christ, when yet a child, is because God does not want the fag end of his children's lives. It is the height of contemptable meanness for any man to serve the world and the devil all through his active years of usefulness, and then hope to give his rightful King the last few hours of his wasted, misspent life. God wants our best service and He has a right to it, for all that we are, or hope to be, is His. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE HOME. I am sure you have anticipated the answer to this question of how we shall save our young people. They must be saved while they are still in the home and in the Sunday School. How win the child for Christ is a ques- tion which interests us all. The Moravian brethren have so brought up their �. September, iyoB nil-; FkiK.xn 16 children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord that not t ne in tell of the members of that church recollects any time when he began to be religious. In every church where there are young people there ought to lie a Pastor's class, which should aim to lead the boys and the girls of the church into the Christian life, to make plain the way of salvation and to explain the doctrines of the church, When such a class is available every parent ought to see to it. that his children are in that cla*S. It is only through some such means a- this, that our boys and girls become praying and speaking Christians. In this day. special, efforts are being made to win the scholar in ,the Sunday School to an open confession of faith .in the Master. It is the aim of all.schools who are alive to this question, tv ha v.: such a spiritual tone about them constantly, that it will be the most natural thing in the world, for our boys and girls to make in the school, their confession pf their Savior. Every school ought to have at least mice a year a Decision Lav, or as it is more favorably known, a Witnessing Pay, when for a month previous to tin'dav. specia) effort will be made by teachers and officers, to bring the older scholars to a decision for Christ. This work can not be done in a hurry, and to be a success, it must have the prayerful cooperation of every teacher. I.yen after the decision has been made, tin following up work is of great importance. That new babe in Christ must be fed upon a milk diet: it must be carefully and prayerfully nursed and taught: must be given Something to do. or else it will fuse interest in the Christian life. Important as is the Church and Sun day School in bringing our children to a decision for Christ, these agencies can not compare in importance with the home. ( hir children are in our homes seven full days in the1 week I they are in the Sunday School'one brief hour, and that with their Sunday clothes on.

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.

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. Those who are bearing the heavy burdens of the classroom and superintend thousands of children day after day. in a tropical climate, need the relaxation ami at the same time upbuilding and strengthening influence eif generous and hearty social inon tercourse.

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.

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.

"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 Undersigned hereby give Public Notice by virtue of an agreement with each other, this clay entered into, that we will not, nor our Servants or Agents will not sell, give, or deliver any spirituous liepiors or substances, to any native subject, or subjects, of this Kingdom, be lie high or low, rich nr poeir; 'That we will not deliver or give any native subject or subjects of the Hawaiian Islands any spiriteius liquors or substances upon either the verbal eir written oreler or writing of any person or persons whatever. And that they have constituted themselves a Committee of Surveillance Inspection to watch over each other anel all other persons holding licenses to sell spirituous liepiors, either at wholesale or retail, anel will prefer complaints against any anel every person or persons violating or in any way or manner evaeling any of the Liquor Laws of this Kingdom, to the end that such person or persons so violating or evading the Liquor Laws may be criminally prosecuted therefor.

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.

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. A movement is on foot to lead laborers to plant 5 THE FRIEND trees and flowers wherever they can about even unsightly quarters, so as to convince managers that it is good policy lo segregate their workmen in one-family houses with garden space.

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.

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.

It will be a pleasure, if the privilege be accorded us. to be a center of distribution of helpful ideas. The cultivation of the "home" atmosphere in the boarding school, the healthy and judicious development of recreation ( which, is as necessary as regular courses of study for our young people), the wise elimination of "race" feeling in our polyglot constituency, the successful introduction of "industrial" features in our school curriculum, the effort to secure a healthful and nourishing "menu" for growing boys and girls, the making of the Sabbath a day of joy and uplift to faculty and student body, are just a few, very few of the questions which suggest themselves.

Monday evening, Oct. iq. witnessed a joyous celebration among the Japanese of Koloa plantation. 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. Mutual Benefit Society. This is the name of a young men's club established by Mr. Kotani in Koloa.

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 large gathering has been greatly beneficial in bringing together the people under the auspices of the Church and in delightful Christian harmony and fellow- ship. 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.

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.

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.

Dr. Bingham while at Vale excelled in athletics, having been the hero of the famous "Bingham kick" which sent the football from Chapel street clear to the State House Step*. When he and Mrs. Bingham landed in Honolulu on their way to Micronesia the people of this city remarked upon the splendid physical equipment of the young couple; he so tall, straight, finely put up and handsome, she so thoroughly his counterpart in health and rare beauty. Their station in the (iilherts was Apaiang, a low coral island only a few feet above the sea. Here with insufficient food, brackish water and inadequate protection from the frightful heat, exposed to danger and death from savage islanders, surrounded by most degraded peoples, they labored with cheer- �4 fulness and rare success until completely shattered in health.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Their duties will be to distribute the quarteries and envelopes, make calls and enroll new members.

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?

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. Rumor has it that this traveler when remonstrated with replied that when the committee could assure him that no leper was at large in tbe Islands outside of the Molokai Settlement he would retract his statement. Tin-: FRIEND does not believe that concealment of the truth in this or any such vital matter is conducive to the public weal. The true lover of the Hawaiians is the friend who will point out that their tolerance of leprosy is fatal to themselves and a menace to both the Nation and the world, that if they do not cease to play with the disease the Nation must step in and regulate it with iron hand and that it is infinitely better for them to let medical science have its way fully, to seek the highest expert opinion as to how to make THE FRIEND. 5 segregation complete, to cooperate loyally now many copies of this dictionary, with song books.

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.

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/.

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 Problem of the Children," including (a) Juvenile Delinquents, (b) Parks and Playgrounds, (c) Manual Training; and 3. "Organized Charity." The Civic Section, which meets the first Friday each month, had a most interesting session Dec. 4. Some 30 men were present to hear Judge Kingsbury discuss the new Municipal Act with special reference to the duties and powers of the Mayor. Another meeting will be devoted to this study, Jan. 8, and after that other questions of immediate interest to the civic life of Honolulu will be taken up and discussed.

There is no reason, why, with the present interest, this class should not grow to a membership of 100 before spring. The men are here and seem to appreciate this kind of work. 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. Under the leadership of Dr. Scudder this affords an unusual opportunity to all Sunday School teachers and others interested to gain a comprehensive view of the Bible. A large number have already indicated their intention to join the class. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. ( Continuedfrom Page ro.) the class of patronage which made selfsupport possible. 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.

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.

This missionary animating principle is bound to be the in hoc simio I'inces of this large horizoned institution. Second. 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. MATAIO KEKUANAOA. though so poor they were the pioneer school teachers of the land, and in time were succeeeded by men of greater attainments and of comparative efficiency. 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 BREWSTER OLESON Corresponding Secretary, THE WORD CHURCH.

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. The writer of the article certainly did not mean that Christianity had not been planted at Hilo and perhaps he would better have conveyed what he had in mind if he had written, 'despaired of planting this Church there,' etc. "It must I>c remembered that the HaeWMOfl Church Chronicle is intended for Churchmen and therefore its articles are in words which they will understand.

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. Thus the Century Dictionary in its definition of the word Church sanctions the use of the capital in the descriptive titles of all organized bodies of Christians, as follows: "The Roman Church; the Presbyterian Church: the Church of the Disciples; the Church of the New Jeru- Xtniitm Church Chronicle, njoo salem; the Independent Evangelical accession, twelve, being received at the Portuguese Church.

Central Union News A. A. EBERSOLE The Week of Prayer Central Union Church began the New Year with a week of prayer. Both in attendance and in the deep spiritual interest manifested the meetings were a pronounced success. The Methodist. Christian and Bishop Memorial Churches united with Central Union in these services and the Spirit of good fellowship which prevai'cd was most delightful. The topics for the week were selected from Stalker's "Imago Christi," the pastors of the different Churches rep resented each leading one of the meetings : THE FRIEND built up in that section of the city. Largely through his efforts also the money was raised for the erection of the commodious Chapel, which was dedicated on the evening of January 3. Already a nucleus has been gathered for the organization of a Church. Some thirty individuals, most of them adults, have signified their intention of joining, and on Sunday evening, Feb. 7. will be received Lolo the fellowship of the Church at Kalihi Chapel by the Minister and Board of Deacons of Central Union. No section of the city offers a larger opportunity than Kalihi for just such a work as this new organization is now equipped to do. With such assistance as Central Union can give Mr. Chamberlain the enterprise should soon grow into a strong Church, ministering to the varied needs of the people of that growing community. The Annual Meeting. The annual Church supper and meeting for hearing reports of the various organizations of the Church was held in the New Parish House on Wednesday evening, January 13. Tables were set for 27s and only a few chairs were vacant. From beginning to end it was a most enjoyable occasion. The Men's League with its two committees — Friendship and Welcome—attended most acceptably to the sociability and the seating of the feasters. The Ladies' Society furnished the chowder—genuine Bay State Chowder, such as the ladies of Central Union can make. It truly was a feast. The reports were unusually interesting. Although the three-minute limit was not absolutely observed they were all short and to the point.

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."

Already it is known that Great P>ritain, America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada will send delegates.

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. It is Ixdieved that self-respect and love of home on the part of a laborer is an advantage not to the laborer and his family alone, hut to the plantation that may he able to call upon such people to supply its demand for labor.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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. For six years with indefatigable zeal and fidelity he administered the high trust committed to his charge. To him was chiefly due the unity of purpose and harmony of cooperation, which characterized all the activities of the Church, CDe Dying Christian to fiis Soul.

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. The parting with his people was like that of Paul with the elders of the Church of Ephesus. 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.

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.

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. C, Y. M. C. A., attended by 240 men, "the most representative body of business men, citizens, and clergy ever assembled in that city." Hon. H. B. F. Macfarland presided, Gen. J. W. Foster, President Finley of the Southern Railroad, Mr. A. E. Marling of New York, and other men of national name spoke. President Taft send a congratulatory letter. 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. "Mr. Man Hoy is continuing his work quietly among his countrymen, the Chinese. His day school and his Sundayschool go on as usual. 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. The coming of the foreigner to these islands has brought most striking ()ctober April, 1909 Jn my boyhood patches of this velvety turf were very common around the Hawaiian home. 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. It was my first trip and I was riding a noble 15 steed, hence the trip was most delightful. workers in North and South Kona.

The "Mauna Loa" had arrived that �16 morning from Honolulu and that meant that there was unusual activity upon the wharf and along the principal street. 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. Mr. Upchurch, the minister of the Kckaha Church, interpreted for me and later entertained Mr. Timoteo and myself at his home over night.

The Association met at the lole Church from the 17th to the 19th and the three days were occupied in the sessions of the Churches, Sunday Schools and Christian Endeavor Societies. The Sunday School Association met each afternoon for a twohour session. Most of the time was spent in the reading of reports and the transaction of routine business. At the last session 1 gave a short address on"The Teacher," showing some of the necessary qualifications for success in leading z c'ass. 1 al<o urged cooperation among the leaders in each Sunday School and asked the new district superintendents to lend me their assistance in my visits among the Sunday Schools. 3.

Regular Sunday evening services are held in it with an attendance often of as many as seventy-five, the services being in English under the leadership of Revs. Messrs. White and Burnham. The Wainee Church is to be congratulated on this promising effort to reach and hold to itself the increasing number in jts natural constituency who use the English language.

O* The attendance at Lahaina was not as large as at the Kohala meeting, which was almost without precedent as to large attendance, but the tone of the Lahaina meeting was one of earnestness and of supreme devotion to the cause of Christ. 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.

That looked pretty dark, for who would dare to take the consequences of refusal.

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.
