Woods. using Dr. Pease, late ol Marshall Island Mission, writes tti Dr. Hyde, under date of Dec. 10, that he pui poses to be at Honolulu on the arrival of the Morning Star, and remain here until she returns westward. His object is to work with a native teacher who is to come from the Marshall [stands, in revisinga translation of portions of the Old Testament which Dr. Fease has been preparing. "I hear that the Hoard have two new teachers under appointment for the Girls' School in Kusaie. They are sisters, and will relieve Miss Hoppin when Miss Palmer comes home. * Mi. Ch.union is studying medicine as 1 understand. He will make a good doctor." Miss Crosby is at Clifton Springs, and or. the whole improving. She hatl heen extremely ill, and underwent a severe operation in October at Rochester. Mrs. Fease will remain at Claremont, Cal, with her huge family while hci husband visits the Islands. "I am hoping to find money to get our Marshall Island New Testament electrotyped. The Fible Society declare their inability to issue another edition of the book, and all new out are exhausted. It is a new complication not to be able to get Testaments for our people." Dr. Fease adheres to the old view that (he motive of missions is not "to build up a Christian civilization in Pagan lands," but to save men. Only when Pagans are saved from sin and Satan, will they become civilized. Until saved by Christ, they do n, t caie for the light. aStTClvemhoiprnsaItl ndia. It is absiud to say that Christianity is good for the West, but lirahinanism is the faith for India. It is said no Euro pean can become a Hindu. There is no place for such an accession in the lirah man system. Hut Hindus can and do become Christians. And the gospel works in the Eastern heait as it does in the Western. 1 believe Christianity could rid India of plague and famine. Scarce a native Christian died of plague. Heathen ism, with its ignorance and rigidity, is largtly responsible for the fatality of Indian famines. Christian intelligence and freedom would, I believe, carry even the millions safely through a year of drought. What becomes of the children of Hindus of the lowest castes when they are converted and become open to Christian influences? They rise from the level in which they are born, and appear all over India as the competitots of the most favored classes in all commercial and professional lines. | [January, KRIKNI). Confession of a Hindu Leader. We must givethe Swami Vivekanandn credit for having learned something about the relative rank of his own pcoplt while he was eating beef here in Amci ica. He gave a course of lectures in Madras on his return which have been published, and from these we take, fol lowing the Indian Mirror, whit we maj call the confessions of a Hindu. Tin old VediC religion was, he ti lis us. beautiful and pure; but the low race* which accepted Uuddhism destroytd it all. He says: "Before a century had passed the) brought out their snakes, their ghosts and all the other things their ancestors used to worship, and thus the whole ol India became one degraded mass ol I have neither the superstition. time nor the inclination to describe t' you the hideous ceremonies, the mosl horrible, the most obscene books thai human hands ever wrote or the human brain ever conceived, the most bestial forms that evet passed under the name of religion have all been the creation of The Tar degraded Uuddhism. tars and the licluchis and all the hideous races came to India and became Bud dhists, and assimilated with us | Indians and brought their national customs, antl the whole of our national life became a huge page of the most horrible am most bestial customs." To this the Swami attributes tin decay of the Hindu race "Compared to many other races, I must tell you in plain words we are weak, very weak. First of all is our physical weakness. That physical weak ness is the cause at least of one third of our miseries. We are la/y ; we cannot combine we do not love each other; we are immensely selfish; we are what the women of Europe are not three of us can come together without hating each other, without being jealous ol each other. That is the state in which we are, hopelessly disorganized mobs, im mensely selfish ; fighting each other for centuries, whether a certain mark is to be put this way or a cei.ain that way ; writing volumes and volumes upon such momentous questions as whether the look of a man spoils my food or not.

There is ilso a peculiar enthusiasm created itnong donois, by being made to feel that they are participating in a quasiniraculous method. Changing Views. I have been trying to imagine St. Paul •changing his views"—coming out of lis fellowship with Jesus Christ and :ommunion with the Holy Spirit into the light of science antl modern philosophy, nd, after much prayerful thought, ac- cepting most of the conclusions and lypotheses of modern thought that go floating about or, the unstable wave of 'the higher criticism." Imagine St. Paul saying; "Whereas, I formerly preached Christ and him crucified, 1 now give up the supernatural work antl character of Jesus and the mysteries of the world to come. Although I once believed in the doctrine of'substitution,' i.e., that Jesus Christ was the Lamb of (iod, foreshadowed by the Passover lamb, and that he 'was sacrificed for our sins, that we might have redemption through his blood,' I no longer believe that I am saved by 'grace' through faith in him, but rather by works of righteousness and by love to man. Therefore I shall e.uleavor, by a positive religious philosophy, to raise mankind from a lower to a higher plane of life, according to the words of Christ when he said, 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one for another.' But, whereas I once preached Christ as the chief Corner Stnne, and that in him dwelt all the fullness ol the Godhead, I shall exhort that they all become sons of (iod, standing fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made them free." In conclusion, imagine St. Paul saying: "I have been assured, moreover, by many other disciples of Christ, that they no longer build their faith upon the foundations of the apostles and prophets in the old way. Now be it known that I, Paul, who am no mean citizen, do hereby admit that I was probably mistaken about having a vision of the Lord on theway to Damascus, and being filled with the Holy Ghost; and, therefore, I shall no longer call myself a servant of Christ, nor preach any more that his gospel came with power and by the Holy Spirit (though without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness), yet in future I shall simply preach the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Greet the Saints in Boston. 1 salute all them that have the rule over you." E. n. s. �THE FRIEND. 4 The Berlin Leprosy Conference, reported in another column, marks an important stage of progress in dealing with that sad affliction of our race. 'The Hawaiian Delegate, Dr. Alvarez, has made an excellent report, of which we have given a brief summary. Miss Mary E. Green. Miss Green is the veteran and greatly honored local missionary of the W. C« T. U. and Woman's Board, whose woik is chiefly among the native llawaiians. She lately returned from a five months visit to the United States. As delegate from the W. C. T. U. of Hawaii, she attended the World's Convention of that Association at Toronto. Miss Green made her report to the VV. C. T. U. Dec. '21st. She was much impressed by the force and magnetism of Miss Frances Willard, the great leadtr of the W. C. T. U. It was evident that the cause of 'Temperance was making progress. A serious difference had arisen between Miss Willard and the Fnglish leader in the cause, Lady Frances Somerset, upon a question outside of the special work of Temperance. Dedication of Bishop Memorial Chapel. On Sunday, December 19th, was dedicated the new Memorial Chapel just finished on the grounds of the Kamehameha Schools. The scholars and teachers over 400 in number filled the body of the building. Invited guests sat in the transept, with officials on the platform. The Chapel is described as "a gem of architectural beauty." Although small, it cost $60,000, in accordance with Mr. C. K. Bishop's desire. It was erected out of a fund of 1800,000 placed by Mr. Bishop in ■ 595, in the hands of Trustees. Rev. Dr. Hyde made an address, stating the facts, after which Hon. S. M. Damon, acting for Mr. Bishop with an appropriate address delivered the keys to Mr. J. O. Carter, representing the B. P. Bishop 'Trustees. The sermon was preached by Key H. H. Parker, upon "building the house upon the rock," urging upon the Hawaiian young men and maidens the need of the Christian life, to save their land and their civilization, building character upon Christ. The Prayer of Dedication was offered by Dr. Hyde. We acknowledge the receipt from the of a Souvenir Calendar, which is both a useful and very tasteful article of its kind. It contains twelve excellent photo pictures of streets and scenes about Honolulu. Women's Fxchange The Way of Tire. pp. Ml, Dodd' Mead and Co. Mrs. Helen Blackmar Maxwell, now the wife of Captain Barker of the U. S. Battleship Oregon, and the authoress of the Bishop's Conversion, and of Three Old Maids in Hawaii, has published a new story of life in India, her missionary home for many years. No missionary figures in the story, however. It forms a series of sketches of English life in India, with especial reference to the social disadvantages of cultivated Eurasians or pait whites, and how they can be overcome. The story is animated and entertaining, as well as morally and socially instructive. It is wholly kindly and appreciative of English social excellencies. A good vein of humor, with little satire, runs through the book. 'The Eurasian heroine emerges happily from her long ordeal. [January, 1898.

The) speak to oui hearts and consciences, though we know them only as John, the fore runner, was known to the repentant people of his days, as a voice calling them to better ways of life. The influence ol literature is especially potent among the young. They can be reached by books when other agencies fail. The Story ol brave adventure is to the in a necessity, out of it they get that mental stimulus snd entertainment they so greatly need. While leading the well told health)' tale, they gam the finest schooling. It is a lesson in the use of language, but. moie than this, it teaches collect morals: by it they are helped to be courageous, kind and true ; it gives them a better ideal than they themselves could construct, or find among their associates. Theie are those who rarely hear the voices of other preachers than those who make the good story, antl there are those who have never been stirred by any preaching, who, if they were but furnished with a literature matched to their need, might lie saved to a better dainty channels of literature. These channels reach upwards, like mountain streams, to where the soil is virginal, to where sweet, aromatic things grow, and the air stirs from out the bosom of the enfolding clouds. It is my feeling that there are many such cases in these islands, that perhaps no where else than right here among us, is there greater need of the support which comes of good literature in the struggle which is being made after virtue.

The limited scriptural helps, the few printed sermons, the two or three nienious, a work on theology, a church history, a catechism, snd a translation ol Hun) an's Pilgrims Progress, form a library inadequate for the young Hawaiian of today. He needs more books on science and history, on social and political economy, and he needs more artistic, poetic and religious matter to be given him in his reading ; but primarily he need* the right kind of fiction. This he is ready for and will take sooner than anything else, and it may become a step to higher things. Fiction, such as it is. has been given him in abundant measure in the serial newspaper story, but it is unfitting. The uplifting power of the inspired story- : �THE FRIEND. 8 . teller has hardly been felt by him. He will read an interesting title, and perhaps get a sermon from it, when he will not listen to the professional preacher. He will hfok into a book that is placed in his way, when perhaps he will not go to church. He whom an unwel come personality cannot reach may be attracted by tile charmed pages of literature. There are influences at work among us debarring us from free access to many to whom we would be helpful, and in Mir efforts to raise the social standard and make men better, we find ourselves greatly hindered. We have been adopt ng new methods. The Kindergarten is one. We have wisely chosen to reach the child-life and are doing it good work upon it. There still remains the adult life for us to touch yet more effectively than we have. Is there not some new channel of influence through which we may work ? We believe good literature furnishes it. We have hail politics in full measure and that of a personal kind, we. have been antagonized and divided by it. ami the bad newspaper has made the most ol the situation, till lite has been embittered.

We have tried to instruct them from the pulpit and the teacher's desk, but we have not asked our poets and story-tellers lo do thenpart. 'I'he witchery of the literary man needs to be felt among us as it has not in the past, and we shall be wise if we bring it to bear just now, with its happy, transforming force on our native youth. With their newly acquired knowledge of Kng lish, they stand at the very entrance ot a larger intellectual and spiritual life, and it is our privilege, by the use of good books, to bring them to it. For the Klondike. Immense preparations are making for the expected movement of miners to the gold fields of the Yukon Valley next spring. The numbers seem likely to be limited only by lack of money and of ships for transportation. Probably money will be supplied to a great many on the "grubstake" plan, the miner or prospector going at a partner's expense. Wild estimates have appeared of the numbers likely to reach the Yukon valley the coming summer, ranging even as high as 300,1)00. An official statement made at Washington names 100,-•00 as likely to go. It is difficult to see how even half that number could possibly find transportation during the five months available for the journey. A number of large steamers are under stood to be preparing for the purpose of carrying the people to St. Michael's at the mouth of the Yukon, a voyage of 3900 miles, or eight days. These are to cany in sections, light draft barges and engines to be pot together at St. Michael's, to continue the voyage up the Yukon river 3500 miles farther to Dawson City. Allow each steamer to can)- Hlhil passengers, with 1000 tons of their necessary supplies. To carry 100 thousand will then require 1011 trips, the round trip of the steamer taking four weeks. Kach ship will have time for five trips, thus requiring twenty large ocean steamers running constantly for five months to do the work. It seems unlikely that even half that number of first class ships could be obtained to put on the route. Then on the river, not less than 300 stern-wheelers would be necessary, mak ing monthly trips during the live months available. This is only to transport the men and their indispensable provisions for a year's consumption. Hut besides this, would lie necessary at least 100,000 tons of Coal, to keep them warm during the Arctic winter, and an equal weight of lumber for housing. All this would require twice the before named means of transportation. It is evident that moving and supplying an army of even 50,000 mtn to the remote and frozen Alaska would be beyond any except national resources as employed in war. It is hardly possible that even twenty thousand men can reach Alaska the coming summer. It is not improbable that by next May, word will come from Dawson of extreme suffering and starvation, such as to deter many intending emigrants. It may prove a repetition, upon a large scale, of the horrors experienced by Cueely's party m Greenland. Alaska to be Developed. One thing seems evident re peering Alaska. 'I'he vast Yukon valley is about to be occupied and subdued by the mighty armies of American and Christian civilization. Like the sudden and tremendous inpouring of those armies into California fifty years ago, now comes this great rush to the Yukon. The mining of gold is the inciting object in both cases. There appears to be reliable evidence that the supply of gold upon the Yukon is much more abundant than was that of the placers of California. On the other hand, it seems doubtful whether that Arctic land will afford any at all of those resources of agriculture which have rendered California so opu- |]anu.,ry. LB9B. lent. Possible some scant yield of grain and vegetables may be obtained while the sun for a few weeks thaws the surface of the perpetually fro/en subsoil. In any case, the immense mining fields of Alaska seem certain to secure for that territory a permanent occupation by a large population of active and enterprising Americans, who will carry with them the best elements for building a prosperous and powerful state in the valley of the Yukon and its numerous tributaries. The south-eastern extension of Alaska also will inevitably have its full share of immigration, and will enjoy immediate settlement, and the earl) development of its immense mining, lumbering, and fishery resources, as well as those of agriculture. In fact, a new Pacific State is immediately to be created in Southern Alaska. All this must have important inlluence upon Hawaii, and Hawaii is likely to exert upon Alaska important reciprocal influence, commercial social, moral, and spiritual. It is too early to anticipate the whjle nature of this interaction. It must be important. We now see additional reason for the wonderful Divine leading which early planted in Hawaii this strong and deeply rooted Christianity, which makes our group a bright beacon light of Christ's kingdom shining athwart the whole Pacific Coast. One more motive is given to stir every Christian heart to alertness for eveiy May call of our Master and King. Hawaii's light shine brightly, and contribute to illumine, guide anil comfort that great arm) of pioneers amid tile Arctic rigors. Beacon at Diamond Head.
