Especial attention is asked to the 6n« report in this issue, by Rev. F. M. Price upon the splendid progress made of late by the churches and people of the Mnr'.loclc and neighboring Islands. Tilt labors of our missionaries there ami of the native teachers trained by thcni have been wonderfully fruitful of spiritual life, of moral improvement, and of the culture and decencies of civilization. This work has been going on for about twenty-five years. The work in the Kuk lagoon began some fifteen years since, and is less advanced. It has been hindered by tile more warlike and brutal character of the natives. Especially now that peace is established by the Germans, progress will doubtless be rapid. < >ur missions in Micronesia are most encouragingly fruitful. Our churches in .America and in Hawaii arc cheered thereby to increasing efforts. The visit of the little mission schooner Carrie and hinie during the past week has elicited feelings of pain that so p tor a provision has been made for the needs of the grandly extending work in Micronesia. It is sad to see those sweet and noble missionary women cramped in with their little ones into such poor and narrow quarters, for a long voyage Our people Avottld be loth to fare o . Thirtieth Annual Meeting of the Woman's Board. The Woman's Board of The Pacific held its 30th annual meeting on June 4th in Central Union Church. Vice-president Miss M. A. Chamberlain presided. Among the leading exercises were the annual reports of the secretaries and treasurer: reports from the respective heads of Hawaiian. Chinese, Portuguese and Japanese work. In the afternoon a very concise and complete "History of ThirtA Years" was read by Mrs. R. W, Andrews. The Treasurer, Mrs. Dillingham, reported total receipts for the *car as $3,382.80, and expenditures $1,674.80. During Mrs. Dillingham's incumbency of 30 years, $29,730 have passed through her hands.

Mrs. So is the faithful and winning worker in this field, supported by the Woman's Board. She labors in cooperation with the very able and devoted missionary of the American Board, .Miss Eliza Talcott, who after most successful experience in Japan, has spent more than a year in very active labor in Hawaii. For over two years Miss Mabel Sunter has been employed by the Woman's Hoard in active house visitation among Chinese women. Mrs. C. M.

Dk.ak Dr. Smith:—l beg to submit the following report of our trip to the Caroline Islands: We left Guam on Capt. Melander's littie schooner, the Tulenkun, February 15th. and reached Ruk on the 22(1. Our reception at the Kinamua station Avas very cordial. Both schools sailed out in the boat, and greeted us with a song composed especially for the occasion byMr. Stimson. On the 25th we started on a trip in the lagoon to the various mis sion stations, Kuku on Fefau, Moloue on L'tet, and Ires. We saAv teachers from other stations. We found a very prosperous work at Kuku, Avhere Jonatan and wife have made a good impression. There were a goodly number of candidates ,but they were advised to wait. In the mean time Jonatan aabs advised to give them instruction in special doctrines and practices. At Moloue. Aye found the work in a very sad condition. This was at one time the most promising work in the Ruk lagoon. It was here that Arkela did a marvellous work with the young people. One of the brightest girls in Mrs. Logan's school, with attractive personal qualities and an independent singer, carried into her work an unusual amount of earnestness and ability. But her hus band's fall into sin ruined, perhaps forever, her bright and promising young life, and she is now among the lowest of Ruk women. at July, 1901. THE FRIEND. 106 v. ritten while return home. At one time there were 103 pupils in the school at Moloue; but two teacher; failed them after Arkela and Ned Avere taken away, so that now there are only a few who are even trying to do right. The chief and leading men promised to receive another teacher, and we hope a brighter day is dawning for these people, who have been greatly sinned against by incompetent and unworthy men. The station at Fanupenges has been abandoned, also the one at Lepon, where Tim and I ;ani were. The two are now at Lukinafau on Ctet. where they are much loved. The work on lowtr where Josef was, has taken a new start under Anion and Alice who are well spoken of. The old station at Fauna which Mr. Snelling broke up four years ago, has been revived under the lead of Pisalil and Loti. I'isalil is the son of chief Xoah of Kutua, and was married three years ago to Loti, a bright young school girl. They are tiding good work now. There is little change in the condition of the work on Cman. where Moses is, on Sapora of Fefau where Manasa slill holds the fort, on Fausan of Tol, where Joses and Karoline are at work, and on Elm and Rerc on Taloao near the mission station. Indirectly, German rule has been helpful to our Avork on Rnk, and several chiefs are iioav asking for teachers since there is no fear of Avar. The training school at Kinamue is considerably reduced in numbers, and some boys that we hoped much from have gone astray. This is inevitable in a change of leaders, and no blame is to be attached to any one for it. Mr. Stimson is now gathering from the Mortlock churches recruits for his school; and if he continues ; n good health, the number of pupils will he as large as heretofore ; and as it is now possible, in the growth of the Avork, to 'ie more particular in making a selection, I believe the school will be better than ever before. On the Avhole the Ruk work is encouraging and the future full of promise. On Friday. March Ist. Aye sailed aAvay for the Mortlocks. and going southeast, visited in turn, Kama, 40 miles from Ruk, Losap and Pis, 10 miles farther on, Yamaluk. 70 miles farther, Etal, 3-, miles beyond Xamaluk. the Satoan lagoon in Avhich are Motr, Kutu. Ta, and Satoan, a feAv miles from Etal, and lastly Lukunor and Oniop, 20 miles beyond Satoan. Enthusiastic congregations of from 125 to 500 people, greeted us on every island. We preached to them, examined candidates, baptized those approved, married waiting couples, baptized infants, celebrated the Lord's Supper, looked into the affairs of the churches, and corrected abuses as far as possible. (Mr. Stimson vvill send statistics.) The trip was very pleasant, Avith nothing to mar the enjoyment ,save sea-sickness. The people Avelcomed us with songs and hearty hand shakes. The teachers rallied round us to a man, and all evinced great pleasure at our coming. It is six years since my first visit to these islands, and my mind continually contrasted the "then" and "noAV." 1 beg to call attention to the following points: Church Buildings. —There arc now i. 12 churches in this field. Two fine new church buildings have been erected since niv first visit, one at Lukunor, a very large stone building, and one at Oniop. Both these buildings have foreign board floors. Nine churches have been rebuilt, enlarged, or otherwise improved. At Kama. the building now has a corrugated iron roof, and floor of foreign lumber. At Losap the building is greatly improved, having floor and sides of foreign boards At Satoan a large building now shelters the congregation, constructed entirely of native material. And Etal, . Motr, Kutu and Ta have made repairs and remodelled, so that now they have very good buildings. Pis has a very dilapidated house of worship, and Xanuluk is but little better. The improvement in buildings is almost universal and very marked. Two of the churches are now- purchasing bells. 2. Improvements in the arts of civilized life are also very marked. Clothing is worn by all, and there is considerable taste displayed in ornamentation. The girls are wearing prettier dresses, and their hair ornaments are more appropriate. A group of young misses in the Motr congregation was especially attractive. I have often described this audience in my addresses in the home churches, and as 1 sat before them a few days ago, and looked into the bright upturned faces of the boys and gills, and recalled what I had said about them, 1 felt that I might have said much more than I did. Only, the girls and women have discarded the crownlets of deftly woven leaves and flowers, and substituted circular combs, often embellished with red or blue ribbons, and wreaths made of bright colored beads. Of course these latter are more "civilized" and obtained with far less trouble than the old ones, but I think I like the wreaths of flowers better. The improvement in dress is especially noticeable in the old people. They are neater and cleaner. People are putting up better buildings, and improving their homes, and living more comfortably than they did a fewyears ago. 3. Intelligence. The growth in intelligence and appreciation of spiritual truth �is most marked, and most delightful. Moses said to the people at Motr, "I noticed when I visited you a fewv years ago that when the missionary came and talked to you, your faces were turned away and you were looking at other people or out at the trees ; but now I see your eyes fastened on the speaker, and your faces show that you are interested in what he says.' He spoke of the same thing to me sev- THE FRIEND. 107 Vol. 59, No. 7.] draw from the Board."

Intellectually and socially there was no special tie uniting us, hut I truly loved this old man. and when I knew that he had yielded his life to my Lord's control. I felt tiiat we were united by the tenderest of all ties, that of mutual love for our common Redeemer, and mutual interest in the growth of His Kingdom. The chief of Satoan, Fab, is also dead. is the man, who, after 1 had preached on Sunday morning to his people on the Two Ways —of Life and Death—arose and exhorted his people to walk in "the way of life" as it had been pointed out to them in the sermon. He lived to a good old age. and died in peace—so they He sa\ REMARKS. There is a marked increase in the i. material Avcalth of the people on all the islands. 'This is not due so much to an increase in products as to prudence and industry in taking care of the wealth found on their respective islands, and labor to increase the productiveness of the land. 'They are learning the value of material wealth. There is no reason, therefore, why many of these churches should not come rapidly to self-support. 'The Lukunor, Oniop, Satoan, Xamaluk. and Kama churches are' abundantly able to support their own pastors. 'The Kama church does this now in offeringtor the American Board work. Lukunor expended $160 on the church building last year. a.id (liiiop spent trearlv as much —fully as much per member for the same purpose. Both these churches have ordered bells of the trader. Losap has also spent a goodly sum. and Kama has put not less than $300 on its church building during the past three years. The ability of these churches points to a desirable end. I speak of tins because I so thoroughly believe in this principle of self-support, and feel that these churches ought to he led to this state for their own gtxxl. The amount of money saved would be small; but the amount of moral power gained would he incalculahlv valuable. 2. The rapid increase in the population forces a serious problem upon us. What shall be done with the people? Christianity has purified the fountains of life, and the islands are overflowing with babies and children. The German government will wrestle with this problem. Ponape, April 2nd. You will be interested, perhaps, to hear of the work in Ponape, from one not directly connected with it. On the Kith of March, Cap*. Melander dropped Mr. Stimson and me on this island and stood away for Kusaie, promising to return in three weeks or more, so that willing or not we must remain on Ponape for a short time. Last Monday, March 25. Gov. Hahl invited Mr. Stimson and myself to go with him on his steam launch to ()-a, where Mr. and Mrs. Gray reside. Mr. Stimson returned with the governor 011 the same day, but 1 was glad to remain with the (irays until Friday. Such delightful people they are, and abounding in joy in. the Master's service, it was a constant pleasure to be with them. I Hi Friday Mr. < iray took me around to Kiti, Henry Xanapei's place, where we remained over Sunday with Miss FOSB and Miss Palmer. Mrs. Gray, brave little woman, staying at O-a to "hold the fort." We had an enjoyable visit with the ladies and with the people. A communion service was held on Sunday, lasting ovcl three hours, and although we were tired, the people did not seem to be so. I have spent a week at the colony, made a trip around the island, visited the old and new station at ()-a, walked ovei the ruins at Metalanim, passed several days at Kiti, and seen the various places where the Catholics, as well as ourselves, have work started, and now beg to note the following observations: 1. The population of Ponape has been greatly reduced. The governor believes that it is a dwindling population, save in the districts where the chiefs have embraced Christianity. The best estimates give to the group inside the reef. 3,200 people. This decimation is due to the increase of drunkenness, the stronger liquors being drunk, and to social vices which have multiplied since the departure of the missionaries. The Governor t-avs thai the population is now on tiie increase in the Christian communities, both Protestant and Catholic. 2. The resources of the island are as greal as of old, but it is said that the people are forsaking the cultivation of the land, and that vegetable products are not as plentiful as they were when the Spanish came. It is difficult to see why this should be so; but it is probable that the increase in the price paid for copra, and the high wages paid for labor have relieved the people from the necessity of raising fruit and vegetables, and as a rule the average Micronesian does not take kindly 10 the cultivation of the sod. Much land lies idle, overgrown with brush, which might be made to produce largely if proper work Avas done on it. I'he German government may induce colonists to Come hither and develop tiie resources of the country, but that is in the distant future, if it ever comes to pass. J. The arts of civilized life are increasing here as in other parts of the group, and new and better houses are be- ing built. Henry Xanapei's place is remarkable for the evidences of taste and appreciation of comfort which its im- provements display. Being entirely the work of a nat've, it is an earnest of what others will sometime accomplish. The government stimulates improvement in mam Ways, and Ponape is sure to become more and more civilized. 4. The (rovernor has won the hearts of the people, and seems to be a just, kind and wise ruler. 1 le favors the missionaries and their work, and, while not partial, he shows his sympathy Avith OUT work. * * * He says he desires all resident officials to have their wives with them, and be is building comfortable houses for them; but some of them are single men, and openly immoral—not a good example to this people whose prevailing vice is social impurity. 5. The reception given to the missionaries was cordial, and there is evidently a growing appreciation of the importance of their work. Mr. Gray has large audiences at O-a, where he is living in one of the church buildings, and lias a class of more than fifty whom he is teaching English. He is very busy, and is an indefatigable worker. The work will he difficult here, but the Protestant churches are strong enough to exert a wholesome influence on the Catholics, and no such abuses exist there as are said to exist in Guam. Still the old heathen dance is being revived, the governor and the Catholic priests favoring it. While we were there, one of the oid teachers, Julius by flame, now a Catholic teacher of a school, threw off bis clothes and joined in the old dance in the presence of the governor and others of rank. It will be seen that the missionaries have lifficuit problems and many subtle foes 10 contend with The religion that insists on a pure morality will not be popular in Ponape, while one of an impure morality flourishes: and there, as here, the Protestant following must be small and the growth slow. This is not different from what the Master said it -would be, but different from what it has been hitherto in the islands. The time of testing has come. Simple faith in Jesus Christ, and a pure life, with the sanctions of the Christian Faith, must constitute the great attractiveness of the religion preached, and not a popular cult. We shall be driven to depend more on the Spirit's aid, and work and be satisfied with calling out "the elect" from the world. May the Good Shepherd cause His sheep to hear His voice in the preaching of the Gospel! After BUUIy trying experiences, we arrived in Guam April 23d, having been absent nearly ten weeks. We are glad to be at home, and hope now to carry on our work without interruption.

The thought arises, their absent leader, Judge Humphreys, would it not be better for the subduing as having gone to San Francisco and and civilizing force to precede the visit Washington to promote that project, of the missionary instead of following him? For example, how much more rapid has been the progress of Christianity in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands since strong governments were established there by the British and Germans. Until that was done, the savage lawlessness of the people almost fatally obstructed the Avork of the devoted missionaries. But the enthusiastic messenger of Christ may not always Avait for commerce to open the way for him. He, on the contrary, often opens the way for commerce. It was well for the pioneer missionaries to Hawaii that the Islands had already been brought into subjection to the strong and safe rule of Kamehameha. It looks as if the zeal of Dr. Chalmers for carrying the Gospel to the savages had borne him beyond the due bounds of prudence to the disastrous extermination of his entire missionary hand of Avhites and natives. Such lives are too few and to precious to be needlessly sacrificed. And there are more heathen subdued and open to the Gospel than it is possible for all our missionary forces to minister to. Economy and prudence are called for as Avell as bold enterprise. "What the Chinese in Honolulu can do for China."

The fact is stated that during the nine years of Mills Institute "between two hundred and fifty and three hundred young men and boys have been connected with the boarding department."

If condemned for Government use, a jury would doubtless so appraise the value of Ford's Island and of the Waipio Peninsula.

Possibly the needed space may be obtained on the coral lands below Ewa Plantation, though less favorably located than Waipio Peninsula. The lands for the shore batteries ought not to be expensive, being of little use for any other purpose. Unquestionably there is no other defensible harbor in this group, and few better harbors anywhere. �110 THE FRIEND. Record of Events.

The Hilo Meeting. One of the most hugely attended and most successful series of meetings ever conducted by the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was held untler the auspices of that organization at Haiti Church, llilo, during the Week beginning June 6th, and ending June 14th. When the delegation arrived there, everything was found ready for a most hospitable welcome. Rev. Mr. Cruzan of the Hilo Church, took charge of the American brethren at once, having madi every provision for our entertainment, and Rev. Mr. Desha of Haiti church, immediately took charge of the Hawaiian brethren as his guests. The Portuguese brethren were entertained by Mr. Bap tiste, of the Portuguese church, while Mr. Guliek arranged with the Japanes. friends for the accommodations for the Japanese delegates, and the Chinese brethren Avere most beautifully entertained by the Chinese friends there. It Avas a truly representative body, each island having sent its quota of pas tors and delegates for the churches, the Sunday schools and the societies 01 Christian Endeavor, The representative body was composer of four races, there being present about seventy 1 lawaiians, fifteen whites, seven Japanese and six Chinese —three of the whites being Portuguese people. Tin entire delegation numbered about one hundred ; of these sixty-seven Avere mm isters and evangelists. This large body was daily augmented by the attendance of residents in Hilo and vicinity. The interest of the audience Avas at all tim s deep, and sometimes it rose to positive enthusiasm. It Avas the conviction that of all meetings of recent years this has been the most fruitful, both to the association in the locality and to the work at large. While some werje doubtful at first of the Avisdom of the change in the place of meeting, it has come to be the general conviction that it was a wise move, which may be suggestive of a policy for the future. The place of meeting was the historic cTiurch of Haili, which has been repaired and beautified so that it is now oie of the most comfortable churches in the Islands. The meeting was called to order by Rev. J. M. Lydgate, the moderator of the previous year. According to the custcrm- ary rotation, the Island of Hawaii furnished the moderator and scribe. Rev. W. M. Kalaiwaa and C. M. Kamakawiwoole. Making up the roll-call and the reading of statistical reports occupied most of the day. An act of justice Avas performed by the association in the restoration of Moses Lutera to full standing as a minister, the title of reverend having been taken from him during a period of temporary insanity On motion of Mr. Lydgate it Avas voted that the second Sunday of April of each year he set apart by the churches for services commemorative of the missionary fathers. On Saturday the entire convention and many friends, including Queen Liliuokalani, to the number of about 400, wen! m a railway excursion to Kapoho, Puna die residence of R. A. Lyman, where they were generously entertained by •heir Puna friends. A very enthusiastic and successful concert was given Saturday evening in Haili Church, about $200 being cleared towards the expenses of the convention. Sunday was hardly a day for rest, five successive periods of services being observed in 1 laili church. In the morning the Sunday school exhibition was given and there Avas a sermon preached by Rev. W. X. Lono; in the afternoon the ordiu ition of Rev. C. W. P. Kaeo, the blind preacher, Avas a most impressive service, Followed by the sacrament of the Lord's Supper; in the evening a large and enthusiastic union service, in which varotis races were represented, took place at he church. Monday morning Avas devoted to th introduction and reception of delegates epresenting ihe Avork of the Hawaiian board among the various races in the Islands. This Avas followed by Treasurer Hall's annual report, giving the 'mount of receipts as $31,000, and disiirscnients as $35,000, showing a deficit )f $4,000, Avhich, taken with a debit balance of $3,000 at the opening of the year, nafces a total debt of about $7,000. Mr. Mall tendered his resignation because of mcrcasing demands of the board, and of his OAvn private business; his resignat'on was accepted with suitable resolutions appreciative of his efficient and faithful service the past eighteen years, and he was retained as a member of the board. Mr. Theo. Richards, for like reasons, tendered his resignation as president of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, and Mr. Moses Nakuina wis chosen to succeed him, appropriate res>lutioni of regret at Mr. Richards' resignation having been passed. Mr. Emerson then presented the vo-uminous report of the secretary, inc'ud ing detail reports of the various depart- . ments, showing an ever-enlarging effort the needs of our growing populaIn the afternoon Mr. Emerson was re-elected unanimously to the position of secretary, with the understanding that he should be relieved of a considerable portion of the routine office Avork, in order that he might devote more time to the work in the field, and Mr. Richards was chosen treasurer in the place of Mr. Hall, with the expectation that be would make a special effort to enlarge the financial constituency of the board. The association adjourned early to attend the closing exercises of the Hilo Boarding School in the classroom, on die lawn and in the shops, where abundant evidence Avas given of the efficiency of the school. A bountiful ltiati, furlished by the ladies of the Haili Church, and the revieAving of interesting meni)ries of the school, closed a very pleasant ifternoon. < )f the various matters which came up for discussion on Tuesday, perhaps the most important Avas that relating to a memorial to the missionary fatiiers. On jehalf of the committee appointed for his purpose last year, Mr. Emerson reported that this was a matter not to be iccomplished in a single year—that much .arcful study was required on both the financial and artistic sides; that not less .ban $10,000 would be adequate for a itting memorial, and he recommended .hat collections be taken in all the hurches for this purpose on Forefathers' Jay, from year to year. In the evening the association Avas entertained by the ladies of the foreign church Avith a varied program, folloAved iy refreshments. On Wednesday a large and representative committee was appointed to consider methods of securing a closer relation between all the churches of our »rder, Hawaiian and foreign, and the various missions of the board. Attention was also given to the need if special evangelistic work among the Hawaiian churches, and Rev. E. S. Timeteo was unanimously chosen to this work, subject to the approval of the Hawaiian board and his church. Rev. S. L. Desha, representing the hoard of trustees of the Hilo Boarding School, presented a request that the Hawaiian board establish a coeducational school on the land now owned by that school, and a resolution was passed approving of the project and appointing Desha a committee of one to secure funds for this purpose. The matter of rotation of pastorates was discussed at considerable length, and the final conclusion was strongly adverse to any change in this respect. On motion of Mr. Lydgate the association to meet tion. �THE FRIEND. 112 approved of the action of the Kauai association in formulating a catechism fo. Sunday school use; the Hawaiian board was asked to publish the same, and the churches were requested to adopt it for general use. In the evening the graduating exercises of the boarding school took place, when diplomas Avere given to two Hawaiian and tAvo Japanese stud- ents. 'The association adjourned Thursd.iv noon ,to meet next year at Lahaina. In the evening the ladies of the HaTi Church entertained the association most pleasantly and graciously with music and refreshments, to which there was a quick and enthusiastic response on the part of the association. 'The audience fairly bubbled over with delight and g">od humor at the sallies of Hawaiian wit and pleasantry. The most unqualified praise is due to the Hilo people and to the Haili and Foreign churches for their generous hospitality and their unfeigned interest; and most of all, to Rev. S. L. Desha, for his large faith, persistent endeavor, untiring industry and rare tact, which went a long way towards making the convention the great success that it was. Rev. Bunji Tsuyumu, minister to the Imabari Church, lyo, Japan, but who has been given a vacation of three years for study in Union Theological Seminary.

Considerable interest is manifest, fourteen having expressed a desire to become Christians and study the Bib'e at last evening's meeting. Y. P. C.
