They are not much moved by the fear of hell nor the hope of heaven. They want to make the world better, and to do it now. They would avoid sin because it degrades character. They do not much emphasize a dread of the wrath of God because of sin, etc. We have not written these things for the sake either of congratulation or criticism, but to point out what appears to be the present attitude of the churches." A correspondent of the Pacific strong ly commends this attitude of the churches. He says: " That the clergy who teach, and the church which learns, do not think now about the wrath oi God, about heaven and hell, about retribution and reward, as in days of yore." He says much more that is important and true as to the change in religious thought, and the value of such change. Our sympathies are stiongly with much in this change, and the real progress involved, and with the greater efficiency given thereby to the work of saving men by bringing them to God in Jesus Christ. At the same time, as in all periods of change, errors and excess es appear.

Death of Warren Goodale. Mr. Goodale was, from thirty to fifty ye*rs ago, one of the prominent and most esteemed citizens of Honolulu. For many years he had resided on Maui and Hawaii. Visiting his former home, he was suddenly called from earth among old scenes and old friends. Warren Goodale was born at Marlborough Mass., July 2, 1826, a scion of fne Oddest and worthiest families of that tOwn. His father was Deacon Goodale, a brother of the late pioneer missionary, Mrs. Lucy Goodale Thurston. Warren, iVtien near the close of his college course at Williams, was compelled to leave by weakness of the eyes. He came out to H'Otlorulu before ihe mast in the ship Minstrel, arriving here in lnt7. He Was speedily employed by Mr. Amos F. Cooke in the Royal School for young chiefs, where he won ihe esteem of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, and formed a strong attachment to the young chiefs, particularly for Alexander Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha IV. Mr. Goodale was one of the active •urveyors employed in the general allot- ment of lands, and was for some time Connected with the Interior office. He Visited his home in 185.', when he was united to the very lovely woman to Whom he had long been betrothed. The ybung couple arrived here late in 1862, and soon united by letter with the newly organized Fort Street Church. Mr. Goodale resumed his place in the Inte rl6r office. He was subsequently appointed Marshal of the Kingdom. Upon the resignation of C. R. Bishop, he became Collector of Customs, which Office he held for many years. After the death of his wife in 1862, he went to the Stares, where he entered the army, Serving for eleven months as captain of a cbmpany until the close of the war. He subsequently returned to these islands, finding employment as manager upon different sugar plantations. He lately retired from active life and lived with his son, William W Goodale. the manager of the Papaikou plantation, near Hilo. He had latterly been suffering from disease of the heart. On the evening of the 20th ult. Mr. Goodale attended the monthly meeting ol the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society at He was cheerful and Judd's. interested, although manifestly eeply suffering from his malady. He had been the third President of the Society Justice inW4. He was out for the last time on the evening of Washington's birthday, at a meeting of tHe Sons of the American Revolution, at the house of P. C. Jones. He there conversed heartily, and seemed in excellent spirits. Just before taking his leave at 11:10 p.m. Mr. W. R. Castle alluded to the close vicinity of his old home in adjoining premises. This seemed to strike tender thoughts. He left the house, but in a few moments a messenger brought word that Mr. Goodale had fallen dead at the corner of Nuuanu street —not three hundred feet from where his wife died thirty five years before. Our brother was a man of the purest and noblest character. Unblemished, without enemies or detractors, greatly beloved, he also was an earnest follower of the Savior, and has departed from earth with an assured hope of eternal life The funeral was held on the 24th 11 It. in Central Union Church, the Masonic boclies attending the remains to the Nuuanu cemetery, and conducting the closing exercises. Besides the son with his family at Papaikou, Mr. Goodale left two sons in Montana, and two daughters in Massachusetts A sister is the wife of Mr. George Beckwith of Haiku, Maui. Mrs. Persis G. Taylor and other descendants of Mrs. Lucy Thurston also reside here. Mr. Goodale's last labor wasuponthe preparation of Reminiscenses of Old Honolulu for the Historical Society, having dictated to a type-writer for ■everal hours in the afternoon. The Gown in the Pulpit. About the gown, we side with Mr. Home and the Outlook in the following paragraph. Italics are ours. For "ritualism," better say "sacerdotalism." As a result, we believe, of a paper read before the recent meeting of the Congregational Union at Leicester, a discussion has been in progress in the columns of the "Christian World" on "Worship in the Noncomformist Churches." The paper was presented by Dr. Barrett, the well-known pastor of Norwich, and advo cated the use i.l a modified liturgy and the wearing of a gown. The argumtnt, in brief, is this: The strain on the minister which a service of entirely free prayer involves is altogether too great. Hither the service of worship or the sermon must suffer. The immense relief which the introduction ol the servicebook has brought to the ministry of the Scottish Kirk was used as an illustration. The discussion has also had larger bear ings. It has led to an earnest appeal for greater reverence in the sanctuary, for the lifting of every department of worship to a higher level, and for the popularizing of the service by giving the people a larger share in it. One of the best articles of the discussion was that of the Rev. Silvester Home, in which he drew a sharp distinction between using a [March, 1897. liturgy and wearing a gown. The using of the liturgy, he dtclared, was entirely democratic and Congregational. Instead of making the service more select, it induces a larger number of people to take part in it; whereas the wearing of a gown emphasizes the distinction between the clergy and the laity, and is really the beginning ofritualism. With the desire to popularize and make more reverent the service we are in hearty accord. Whatever will induce the people to have a larger share in it and more reverently to worship God is earnestly to be commended. The distinction which Mr. Home makes is a true one. A liturgy is a step toward congregationalizing the worship, but the wearing of a gown has always seemed to us to be more than an appropriate pulpit dress and actually a badge of office. Whatever serves to interest the people in the whole service is a step in advance, but whatever tends to mak.- the minister an official is to our minds a step backwards.— The Outlook. Visit of John R. Mott. Honolulu has been greatly favored by a fortnight's sojourn among us ola man of such rare spiritual endowment and gift of utterance, as John R Mott, the Secretary of the World's Students' Christian Federation. Our spirits have been greatly refreshed and kindled by his earnest and stirring words. Mr. Mott is near the end of a two years tour around the globe, with his wife, visiting the leading mission stations in Turkey. Fgypt, India, Japan and China, also colleges in Australia. His task has been to carry into Christian colleges and seminaries in those countries, the enthusiastic missionary movement which began ten years ago in the col leges ol the United States, and had extended with power to those of Canada Great Britain, and latterly to the Conti nent. Mr. Mott reports over five thousand students as having pledged thtmselves, God willing, to become fore'gn missionaries, of whom over one thousand are already in foreign fields. The organization has now become International. Mr. Mott does not boast of what he has accomplished, but he manifestly carries a wonderfully inspiring power to the hearts of Christian believers, and we expect to hear of very important results of his work in stimu- lating evangelistic activity especially among Christian students in countries like Japan and India. In a union meeting February 14th at Central Union Church, Mr. Mott made almost startling statements about the recent progress of Christian faith in American colleges. In less thau twenty years thirty thousand skeptical students have come to accept Christianity. Last �year three thousand four hundred were added to the list. Over four thousand students have been led into the ministry by the Christian societies in the colleges. Vale has six hundred in its Y. M. C. A. and two hundred in the voluntary Bible classes. Twelve yeirs ago Cornell w.is called godless. Then a Y. M. C. A. was st.rted with thirty members, now increased to five hundred, with two hundred in voluntary Bible cltsses, in which seven professors are teaching. Thirty last year gave up skepticism and accepted Christianity. In England the Inter-collegiate Christian movement was started three years ago, and the number of societies h.is increased from seventeen to sixty. Cambridge has thirty Bible classes. In 1894, sixty students in Oxford accepted Christianity, and one hundred in Cambridge. At Edinburgh University more skeptical students had accepted the Bible in the eighteen months preceding the speaker's visit than in the entire previous history of the institution. Most of them, too, were students of science. All but one of the twelve greatest living scientists of England are Christian men. This movement is already making great progress in the German universities. There are five Christian societies in the University of Berlin. The same movement is active in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. A World's Federation of these Christian College Societies was organized at a convention held in Sweden. The general object is to carry on among students of all countries of the world the study of the Bible; to teach Christ; and to build up and send men out of the colleges and universities to work for Christianity. During his visit Mr. Mott made pow. erful addresses to the students of Oahu College, and those of the Kamehameha Schools. One of his best and most important talks was given in the Methodist Church upon Secret Prayer. Those who listened seemed to be led into a clear contemplation of the glorious pos sibilities of rich and fruitful communion with God, and of receiving luminous and kindling understanding of Holy Writ, by means of systematic and devoted application to such spiritual exercise. The speaker is manifestly one who enjoys great calmness and fulness of Power from this Divine source. It is not to be doubted that many of our Christian people will have been incited to earnest and sustained effort to live nearer to God, and that they will thus develop increased spiritual power for work. Mr. Mott is evidently much worn by his labors, and needs recuperation. He is young and it may be hoped has many years of strength and fruitful activity before him. He sailed for the States on the 25th of February. 19 THE FRIEND Vol. 55, No. 3.] President Jordan---A "bad Break." Growth of Hilo Town. Dr. Jordan of Stanford University has spoken unwisely. He said "The so called revival of religion too often aims at producing a temporary mania. * Its phenomena are those of hysteria or cataleptic insanity. They repre sent a form of intoxication that is real drunkenness, and no more worthy of respect than the drunkenness of the gutter." There may be a class of spurious revivals -we have heard of such to which those words might possibly apply with putial truth. We have witnessed a number of revivals at diffeient times and places, to none of which such application could be possible. They were all characterised by the profoundest seriousness and good order—at the same time by intense emotion. The Power oi the Holy Ghost was manifest in them. As a class, the persons converted to Christ in these revivals became Christians ot high character and established piety. The churches enjoying these seasons of grace became better and stronger, more enlightened, more disciplined in good Many evidences reach us, evidencing the progress of a somewhat active and solid growth ot Hilo town, resulting mainly from the healthy agricultural development of coffee and sugar interests, in that region. A new hotel is going up, a new foreign church and a new wholesale store and warehouse for H. Ilacklejd. & Co. Besides these, a tract of land immediately north of the Wailuku stream has just been laid out and placed on the market for residences. It Stemi probable that the new wharf authorized by the legislature must soon be erected, although much difference of opinion if said to exist about its proper site. * * works. Dr. Jordan's words call to mind that skeptical utterance at Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:13, "But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine." Since the above was in type, the following statement by Dr. Jordan has been met with : "I have never denied the helpfulness of soberly conducted revivals in which the purpose was that ot forming a Christian ideal of character. In my talk at Berkeley I had in mind solely what Dr Dille has called "The orgies of Mrs. Woodworth's followers.'' * * With the madness of these scenes religion has nothing to do."

Although holding leading positions in Honolulu business circles, Mr. Paly had never visited the Atlantic states.

The Manhattan Liberal Club challenged Mr. Moody to debate the relative merits of Christianity and infidelity with two leading secularists. In declining, Mr Moody gave, among others, this reason: "The times call for action, not discussion. Hundreds and thousands of men and women are dropping into drunkard's and harlot's graves every year here in New York. Now let us all join hands and try to do what we can to save them. I will try to reach them with the gospel. I will tell them of a Savior who came to seek that which was lost, who died a cruel death on the cross in order that their sins might be blotted out. If there is any merit in infidelity let your members likewise put it into practice. Let them reach out a helping hand to those unfortunates who are sunk in vice and misery. Then, when they are restored to purity of life, we shall have time to turn aside to discussion." This reply was a "body blow." What drunkard, or poor lost woman was ever reformed by infidelity? In all the ages not one.— The Pacific. Cession of Pearl Harbor Conterminous with Treaty of Reciprocity. Professor W. D. Alexander has lately refreshed the public memory by reciting the circumstances attending the cession of Pearl Harbor to the United States as a Naval Station, in December, 1884, showing that Secretary Bayard at that time informed Mr. H. A. P. Carter, the Hawaiian Minister, that he could discern in the amendment to the Treaty, which related to Pearl Harbor, "no subtraction from Hawaiian Sovereignty over the harbor to which it relates, nor any language importing a longer duration for the interpolated Article 11. (relating to the Harbor) than is provided for in Article I. of the Supplementary Convention." The Supplementary Convention was ratified by the Hawaiian Government with that understanding, that the righ.t of the United States to Pearl Harbor should end with the Treaty of Reciprocity. It follows that should the United States terminate that Treaty, and refuse Annexation, they would no longer possess any special privileges in Hawaii. �Vol. 55, No. 3.] Japanese Interest in Hawaii. It is learned from the Consul General of Japan, that his Government will soon station a war-vessel permanently in this harbor. Since Japan has 2>,000 subjects residing in Hawaii constituting 23 per cent of our population, it cannot be deemed improper that such a ship should remain here to aid in watching over their interests. At the same time it has somewhat of a menacing suggestion, and isquite in the line of the policy attributed to Japan, of aiming at a paramount influence in Hawaii, if not at the ultimate possession of the group. It is plain that this group would be of the gieatest value to anypower aiming, as Japan manifestly does, at navaland commercial superiority in the Pacific. It can hardly be doubted, however, that the United States intend to reserve that advantage to themselves. Liliuokalani in Washington. As anticipated in the January issue of The Friend, the ex-queen has been in Washington apparently for some political object. President and Mrs. Cleveland have accorded to her friendly interviews. The President owed her at least so much, after the position he took over three years ago. Perhaps Liliuokalani will have claimed more from him. The latest news is that she has publicly repudiated the abdication which she formally executed two years ago. We here are waiting for confirmation of that intelligence, and for farther indicationof her intentions. Comment is useless until more is known. In the meantime it may be said that she does the public a service by drawing attention to the Hawaiian question. Hawaiian Statesmen in Washington. Attorney-General Wm. O. Smith left for Washington February I Oth, to instruct and co operate with Minister Hatch, in respect to a possible early action of Congress upon the Annexation of Hawaii. Gen. A. S. Hartwell also went thither on the 7th, and Mr. Lorrin A Thurston on the 4th. There is thus present in Washington doubtless by this time a strong quartette of representative Hawaiians, who will do all that can be doneto promote the cause of Annexation. Messrs Hartwell and Thurston went as private individuals. THE FRIEND 21 tance as likely to replace the present awarded to Mr. A. Harrison for the sum system of Contract labor on our sugar plantations. Profit sharing has already been successfully tried at Onomea, the largest plantation on Hawaii. From ihe year's profits, ten per cent is deducted as interest on capital. Of the remaining ninety per cent, one filth is divided among all the employees pro rata with their monthly wages. The dividend thus made to employers fol several years has averaged a sum equal to one month's wages. The effect has been excellent, in increasing the diligence and carefulness of the laborers. Another system, more properly called co-operative labor, has been successful on Ewa Plantation. Sections of land are assigned to different companies of laborers, who received a fixed sum per ton of cane yielded. The plantation plants the cane, and furnishes water for irrigation. Mr. Jones expressed a decided opinion that the climate of these islands "was much more favorable to the labor of white men in the field, than the summer climate of the United Stales. He believed that a general adoption of Profit sharing would attract white men in large numbers to Hawaii, and would solve the difficulties of the Labor question. Death of the Outlaw Leper Koolau. This unhappy fugitive in the recesses of Kalalau valley, who killed Sheriff Stolz and three soldiers, died some months ago. His grave was lately found by Sheriff Coney, and the remains identified by the contents of the coffin. There were in it two guns which were positively identified as those of the outlaw. But for an insane fury, Koolau might now be living happily among his fellow lepers at their delightful asylum on Molokai. Hospital at Hilo. Plans are reported as complete for the speedy erection of a Hospital at Hilo by the Government, the building to cost $:',500. The plan has in view future enlargements by addition to the length of the building. RECOE D F VENTS. Feb.

The desire of our Japanese friends to secure an education for their children who are growing up on Hawaiian soil, is a most hopeful sign. They find that if neglected some of their children will speak a patois consisting in some cases of a mixture of the Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese languages. Such children will be unable to read or write any language. Persons growing up with such a mixture on their tongues could never rank among cultivated people in their native land. To avert such a disaster,, under the lead of our faithful evangelists, in several of our communities, distinctively Japanese The Waialua church is thinking of calling the Rev. J. M. Ezera of Kwa. The death of Mr. J. Haole of the leper settlement occurred Feb. llth. He was a good man and possessed of marked traits of character. Uncompromising in his opposition to what he believed to be ill-advised or wrong, he lived a restless life and made enemies, buj to those he approved he was a warm and loving friend. We believe that he had an unusual regard for the truth. He was a native whom we learned to esteem and love. In the following extracts from a letter from Mr. Price we have the latest news from Ruk. The chiet item is that of the removal of the mission station at Anapauo on the island of Ucla, to Kinamue on the island of Taloes. The large island of Ucla being the one nearest on the east to the northern entrance to the Ruk lagoon, or group of islands, the island of Taloes lies nrxt to it. "Soon after our return from Ponape I The Japanese at Honomu, in North went over to Kutue on the island of TaHilo, having, through the energy of our loes to hold a service with the people started. schools have In the lot on Kukui street, adjoining the parsonage, the Japanese ot Honolulu maintain, at their own expense, a flourising afternoon school of thirty five scholars; the most of them being children who have graduated from the Kindergarten, and who are, during the forenoon, studying the English language in the government common schools. to Dr. Smith 23 that I had been visiting bi monthly for nearly two years. As we neared the land one of my boys pointer! out a place oil shore where lie said Mr. I.ogan had once thought of locating the mission and was prevented from doing so by the hostility oi a certain chief who was now dead. It w.is a little peninsula on the north eastern part of the island and one which I had coveted for h mission house but had not supposed that it was available. 1 at once began inquiries about it with the rt-sult that the people offered Die tin- land as I wanted, and that without any pay. for a mission location and they said to nic as I walked with them over the land: 'If you want to come hither Mr. Price, come, for we all want you.' I did not take their land withont pay. I thought best to pay them. This then was one result of the patient work.of two ye.us in the place, namely, the opening of this place, so desirable for a mission location in a time ol need. After consulting with the mission I at once made preparations for securing tin land and moving the mission buildings. We now have a deed for the property approved and stamped by the agent of the Spanish Government. Mr. Bowker was with us and was at once engaged to help us. Chas. Gierow, a German trader also promised his assistance and at once set to work. Within a few weeks we had Capt. Poster's house moved and he living in it. Our house Was torn down next and brought over. Then we bewail on the Girls' school building and at this writing all the lum„ber of that laige building is on the site selected and the foundation for the structure laid. To write this seems but a small thing, but it involved an amount ot work of the heaviest kind and anxiety which you can little realize. All the timbers and boards had to be carried to the sea shore and built into rafts whence it was towed to the schooner and put on board. .And then it had to be rafted ashore at Kutua and carried a long distance up the hill on which our buildings are located. This work was all done by natives ol Taloas, for the Ucla people were angry at our coming away and would do nothing to help us off. The present occupant of the Logan Lease threatened ;o prevent our going but made no movement beyond a little talk which, owing to the good sense of the natives, amounted to nothing. With relerence to our work here in Kutua nothing could be more pleasant and give greater evidence of prosperity than it does at present. The work is new and novel to the people and has been altogether and only pleasant. It was such a relief, as few who have not been similarly situated can realize, to get away from the atmosphere of Anapauo into this delightful work where all things are congenial and where there is but one heart and mind with reference to it. We have no church building and we have had to improvise a place for meetings, �but we have had a good attendance on all our services and one by one the people have put away their heathen ways and taken on the new life. When we came here there was hardy a person that was* decently dressed and our audiences were almost entirely untouched heathen. Gradually a change came over them. By some means they got hold of clothes and now we have a well dressed company at service every Sunday. This means more than appears on the face of it, for when a heathen man consents to cut his hair, throw away his paint and take the rings out of his ears and give up his tobacco, it means that he has for some reason decided to lead a different life. The attendance at the services on Sunday his ranged from 1 25 to 250, the Sunday School about 130. We have a day school with an enrolled membership of 60, and we have of school boys and young married men who have been received into the boarding school 22, of these 13 are married and have 12 child ren. Then there are in the Girls' school 14, and one young woman who works for Mrs. Price and attends the classes, so that the toial of those in the regular schools is even ftO, and all under daily instruction rtfi. Three of the boys and two of the girls teach in the day school. A work has opened in Elim, jnst across the river on this island and south ot us a short time before our coming hither, and this work has prospered in rather a remarkable way. Eormerly there was a work in this same district on the south shore, aver the hills from us, but it was neglected and allowed to go down. When it was revived it came up rapidly, largely through the energy of the chief Hezekiah, who is really a very good man. Now they have the frame up for a church building and will soon have it enclosed. I should say that there are a dozen men and as many women who have renounced their heath en ways there and are now studying the truth as it is in Jesus. Theodore, one of my boys, has charge of that work, or at least goes there every Sunday morning and teaches them. I shall soon give him the full charge of that field. At present I hold services there every Sun day afternoon. Then a new work has opened since our coming hither at a place of the name of Rere, a thickiy populated district at the head of the river above mentioned. The chief sent me word that he wanted me to come to see him and hold a service with his people. One Sunday afternoon the boys rowed me up the river in the schooner boat, and landed me in a swamp. It was raining and everything was as dismal as could be. It seemed as though the devil was trying to cast a shadow over the place and discourage us from beginning a work there, but we have learned to resist the wiles of the devil in this sort of work and not to be March, 1897, THE FRIEND 24 discouraged at working, and so I asked the boys to lead me to the chiefs house. Along a wet slippery, and tortuous path they led me up the hill side to the house of the chief. It was so dark I could see nothing for some time after crawling on hands and knees through a little hole in the side of the house into the presence of his highness. When my eyes became accustomed to the darkness I saw a few women and children lying around, the chief sitting on a mat with his hands on his knees looking as stolid as a Micronesian chief can. There was one woman who had attended the service at Kutua and had formerly been a professing Christian and who, I afterwards learned, was the chiefs sister She was a coarse, vulgar woman with an unusually debased face, but she could read and knew considerable about Christian truths. It is hard to believe, yet it seems to be true, that this woman had influenced her brother to send for the missionary and hear the truth from him. Here as everywhere, God uses the best agents at his command. Something good in the heart of this vulgar woman induced her to want the Christian religion in her tribe. The chief was a very pleasant looking young man, and evidently a man ot peace. His answers to my questions snowed an unusual degree of intelligence and appreciation of the value of the church. He said that he did not want his people to live in darkness, that he did not approve of war and the dance, and that he wanted to have eternal life through Jesus. I asked him if he understood that my coming meant that his people would be reproved for their sins and that I would not even spare him, the chief, if he sinned against God and held on to heathen ways. He said he understood that and he wanted me to teach and reprove his people and himself, for they wanted to learn the right way and walk in it. ( To he Continued.) violent wind of that section. We somewhat doubt the success of overcoming that difficulty. All accounts indicate success and prosperity among the large and enter- prising colony of Coffee planters in the district of Olaa on the Volcano Road. It will be of interest to secure a careful comparison of the relative qualities of the berries grown in the wet climate of Olaa, and those from the drier land of Kona. Both are fresh volcanic soils. Presumably, Kona coffee will be the finest in Savor. Olaa may yield the heaviest crops. A Possible Investigation. There are some indications that Liliuokalani, who has much persistence, may succeed in re-opening her former claim for redress from the United States, for her alleged dethronement by the agency of United States naval forces. Should her efforts result in a Commission of Inquiry being sent to Hawaii, we shall have the satisfaction of a public and open investigation of the subject instead of Blount's secret and ex parte shyster work. Such an inquiry will be extremely welcome to the Hawaiian government and their friends, although the subject matter is somewhat old to be threshed over again, after the conclusive Report of the Senate Committee in February, IHU4, which dismissed the false allegation.
