Wnlkup Our Murdered President. A great distress and sorrow has befallen the American people, The strong and true man who presided over OUT Government, and who was greatly honored and deeply revered, has suddenly fallen in death. The blow has come upon our great nation as a benumbing shock. We are stunned, bewildered, and amazed. We mourn in dee]) grief for the pure, wise and fatherly man who was the Head of the nation, and whom we trusted and loved. The whole people are bereaved and suffer heart-break. The bitterness of this sorrow was enhanced by the fact that the disaster was inflicted by the hand of a malignant man. It was not from incurable illness, nor from accident thai could not be foreseen or averted by human wisdom. It was of human malice, the deliberate selecting for its victim the one who was highest and most valuable to the people. To the ordinary view—We niav say, to our instinctive thought — it seems not to have been by the Divine ordering, hut subversive of (iod's benevolent will; and our souls revolt at it, and rage for vengeance upon the miscreant. Bttl an enlightened knowledge and an elevated faith reveal the error of such doom. We are admonished thus to feel and trust as with hushed breathing we listen at tent to the last words which win' heard to issue from the fainting lips of the dying President. They were words of tender love and holy faith. "Good bye! good bye all! It is God's way. God's will he done." These words conic to us with the clear sincerity of that great, sympathetic soul sinking into the parting of death—passing under the veil. They come from a spirit whose vision is being cleared from the mists of earth and illumined by the light of an eternal world. They proceed from a mind wonted to devout belief and aspiration, and in the habit of recognizing the Divine Hand in all events. It is indeed wise and well for us all to aeeept the truth of these sacred words. "It is God's way. God's will he done." Let us humhly yield and trust God's wise ordering. So shall our souls he at peace, and all waves of revolt ami passion he calmed. Very warm-hearted too seem those last words. How kindly the farewell, how wide reaching to us all —to all the people. "Good-bye all!" The dying man's heart went forth to all the nation, whom he knew would mourn him. And he then ministered to US comfort and peace from his own trust in God's Way and Will. These are precious heart-words of lofty faith and consolation, which we may well carry enshrined in our heart memories. William McKinley has departed this life at a time auspicious for the luster of his fame. Under his presiding influence and the execution of the policies he advocated, the United States has advanced by great strides to an unprecedented height of political and martial renown, and has taken a place of first rank among the great Towers. Under his influence and policy, the nation has also rapidly grown to a greatness of productive and financial prosperity unknown in its own 137 [No. 10. history or in that of any other nation. He was spared long enough to see and rejoice in these great mercies of God to his country, Whatever clouds may darken that prosperity, whatever future disasters may mar it. our great President who has gone was permitted to witness the attainment of his aims and consummation of his hopes in a degree which is rarely given to national leaders. For this we may rejoice. How Deal With Anarchists? For the first time in America, has the deadly work of the malignant European product, the anarchist, fully displayed itself in the deliberate murder of the chief Ruler. It now becomes necessary to defend our chosen rulers against them, to employ what precautions are possible in safeguarding those threatened, and to increase the penalties of such assassinations as may he expedient, including all persons shown to he accessory thereto. But remedies of physical force need the great supplement and reinforcement of moral force. A great power to this end is the deep and honest grief of the whole nation. The worst anarchists cannot he insensible to the united sentiment of the whole people. That will go much farther to deter the evil minded ones from fresh attempts than any amount of severe penalties that may he threatened. It is not indeed likely that anything will quench the hate which the anarchist associations have learned to cultivate against all who exercise authority, however righteously. Net moral influence goes farther than any other. The anarchist finds the chief justification of his murderous creed in the injustice, dishonesty and oppression of men in power. Were those in authority habitually just and upright, the anarchist doctrine would die of inanition. For this reason it may he said that corrupt statesmen like Quay and his allies, are direct fosterers of anarchical teachings, because they give those doctrines a strong pretext. Quay has exploited the State of Pennsylvania, selling; its precious franchises to robbers for his own corrupt ends. If all rulers were like Quay, it would go far to justify the anarchist in abolishing rulers by assassination. But if the good citizens arc alert and active in abolishing such corrupt statesmen by legal means, the anarchist plea is destroyed. �THE FRIEND. 138 ied her first husband, Mr. Charles McDonald, and one son, Charles Hatfield McDonald, named after Dr. Chas.

In the September Atlantic, John Muir felicitously writes as follows; "Why, then," it will he asked, "are the Big Tree groves always found on wellwatered spots?" Simply because Big Trees give rise to streams. It is a mistake to suppose the water is the cause of the groves being there. (>n the contrary, the groves are the cause of the water being there. The roots of the immense tree fill the ground, forming a sponge, which hoards the bounty of the clouds, and sends it forth in clear perennial streams, instead of allowing it to rush headlong in short lived destructive Hoods. Evaporation is also checked, and the air kept still in the shady Sequoia depths, while thirsty robber winds are shut out. * To the dwellers on the plain, dependent on irrigation, the Big free, leaving all its high uses out of the count, is a tree of life, a never-failing spring, sending living water to the lowlands all through the hot, rainless sum- * * mer, for every grove cut down a stream is dried up. Therefore all California is crying, "Save the trees of the fountains!" But besides the conserving power which forests exercise upon moisture already fallen on the ground, they perform an equally important office in attracting rain. It is done in this way. Prom bare surfaces of land, heated by the sun. warm currents of air constantly ascend and dissolve the hovering clouds, so that they are unable to shed rain. Hut from lands clothed with forests, no such hot currents arise, and the gathered clouds freely drop their showers. There is no doubt that far more rain actually falls upon any country clothed with forest, than upon one which has been denuded. Thus forests are the life of the land. Destroy the forests, and you wither up the country and make it desert. llamakiia on Hawaii has been dried up and destroyed. This has been done by the great flocks of sheep in the Waimea district inland. These "hoofed locusts,'" as John Muir calls them, have for fifty years been gradually devouring the undergrowth of the woods inland of Hatnakua, until the trees have died by the denuding of their roots. Where sixty years ago was a broad, marshy belt of woods is now an open waste. file streams are dry, anil llamakua withers in drought. Night Schools Closed. Por several years, night schools have been maintained in this city by the Board of Education, for the benefit of persons whose occupations debarred them from. attendance on the day schools. The partially compelling motive for the recent closing of these schools has been the shortage of school funds and necessity of economy in order to provide for the great increase in the number of pupils in the day schools. A special reason, however, was assigned, that most of those attending the night schools were Asiatics. This reason seems to have been very generally disapproved by the white community, and justly, we think, on the ground that it is in the highest degree for the public interest that the Chinese and Japanese should be brought into close touch with English speech and thought. The alien races sojourning with us eertainiv have the strongest claim Upon our Christian benevolence, to provide for their enlightenment and social elevation. It may be said (bat it is not the province of the Civil Government to make such beneficent expenditure for these alien people. It is wholly a matter for private Christian beneficence. Hut it may be clearly shown that is in the highest dc gree for the public well being that these Asiatics forming three fifths of our population, and of indispensable value is laborers, should be supplied with mental and moral culture. Xo money can be better spent for public education, than in disseminating American knowledge ami thought among these Asiatic denizens of Hawaii. Let the night schools be reopened for their benefit as soon as pos sible. Indigent Gilbert Islanders. Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham 139 THE FRIEND. Christians. Another and larger colony of Gilbertese exists in Lahaina, which is under the spiritual care of Rev. Lutera, an excellent former missionary at those Islands. These people seem to be rather lower in the scale of humanity than the Hawaiians ever were, owing in large part to ages of residence on small sand spits or atolls, with poor diet. They number some 40.01H) in their own group, now under efficient British protection. Very Sanguine Hopes. The Independent speaks as follows: "I las the world yet observed that in the government of our new possessions we an taking lessons from no previous colonial system, but are making an abso- lutely new departure, based on the principles of self-government learned at home? Whatever risk there may he in this we are confidently taking. We are not going to Java or Borneo or Sierra I.ernie or the three < iuianas. or even to Algeria or India, to learn how to govern an alien race. We have beard much of the colonial experience of (ireat Britain and Holland and France, but we are discarding them all, and are establishing free popular government in the Philippines just as fast as we can. We have done it already in Porto Rico, and are getting our minds made up to give that island statehood as somi as it wants the boon. Such elections as we provide under our new system in Luzon are unknown in Bengal. We are inaugurating a true Philippine republic under the wing of the United States, 'fhe world does found some not yet understand —perhaps we do not special occupation last month in superin- vet ourselves understand —the magnifitending the removal of his poor proteges cence of this novelty in the government of the Gilbertese colony to new shelter of alien colonies.

The men pursued fishing, and the women braiding of hats, in which they have some skill earning a very scanty livelihood.

A majority of these people are old and somewhat feeble. In their new location the) continue to have fishing facilities, and will he better sheltered. Dr. Bingham and the Hawaiian Hoard have very faithfully supplied the spirit nal needs of these poor people, who cam here formerly as almost absolute heathen Very many of them are now devout Anglo-Saxons and Latins alone, hut equally for Malays and Mongolians and negroes? 'file presumption of success belongs to liberty, and what our example of liberty has done for the American eon tinents it may be expected to do even ill Asia." We know very little of the peculiarities and capabilities of the various peoples inhabiting the Philippines. Our acquaintance with the capacity of the Hawaiians for representative and repUblilean government does not encourage us to expect success for republican institutions in the Philippines. We tend strongly to the belief that such self-government is adapted only to races that are highly developed morally, and are measurably free from �THE FRIEND. 140 the bondage of degrading vices and enslaving superstitions, such as probably enthrall the Filipinos, in common with other depressed races of Asia.

Hiram Bingham, D.1)., completed his 70th year on the 16th of last August. Dr. Bingham is still a vigorous missionary worker, although with 1 dig impaired health, and of late years suffering from new and serious malady. We regret to say that Mrs. Bingham has become extremely feeble and helpless in body, though with courage and faith ever bright. We had the satisfaction on the 28th tomet the Rev.

The visit, early last month, of the cable surveying steamer Britannia, has given us the present facts as to the progress made towards laying the British cable from Vancouver to Australia. This soon to he accomplished, fhe work is surveys of the ocean bottom along the adopted route are now entirely completed. In January next, it is expected that the work of actually laying the cable will be commenced by the steamer Anglia, which will then proceed to lay the sections between Queensland.

The whole distance is thus 7,uK6 miles. The deepest sounding taken between Australia and Farming's I. was 3150 fathoms. The cable will pass about 220 miles east of Honolulu. In order, for war purposes, to have cable stations only upon British soil, the enormous stretch Of 3600 miles is made from Vancouver to Farmings, which is 1 kxj miles beyond Honolulu. This additional length requires cable of double weight and expense, which will be $700 per mile. When the United States took the Philippines three years ago, we were sanguine that by this time the first section of an American cable to Manila would have been completed. Put so far no positive step has been taken by Congress, beyond a preliminary survey of the route. Whenever a cable is laid, it will transmit all important news, and we shall he robbed of those customary agreeable anticipations of news whenever a steamer from the Coast is signaled, which form so important a part of our pleasures. �[October, 1901.

It is plain that on Hawaii the industries are crowding each other, 'fhe cattle interest is working the ruin of the sugar interest. It is incumbent on the government to do something to harmonize them. fhe most important action taken by the Association was that which concerned the disaffected brethren who left the Kohala Church under the lead of Mr. Kaiinana and established a service of their own. After several years of separation they have expressed a desire to return again to the fellowship of the parent church, fhe Association responded to this desire expressed by a delegate from the Iv.iiinana party and removed the vote of suspension from church membership passed by the council at the time of the division. This happy result is largely the fruit of Mr. Timoteo's three weeks' work in the Kohala district. Mr. Kaiinana, lately deceased, was a man of moderation and (if gi od purpose and on his death bed expressed a desire for the reunion of the factions. Ibis reunion was made possible by the fact that the heat of political strife has cooled and there are really no more living issues to keep apart the Kaiinana people and those who had stood fast to the old church.

Pearl Fishing. 1 have been greatly impressed by this parable of the goodly pearls. My imagination has been stirred by the action of the merchant who was in search of them, who. when he found a rare one of great value, sold all he had and bought it. I have seen a seeker after pearls in the literal sense as well as in the figurative. While a missionary in the Gilbert Islands I used to be greatly interested in the operations of the native fishermen. There was a large shell fish they would bring up from the floor of the lagoon, the meat of which was good to eat, and in it they sometimes found a kind of pearl. I used �myself to hunt for these pearls and find them—not very fine ones to he sure, but such as made me ever wish for better. It was an interesting and difficult process that the fishermen followed in getting their pearls and one that may he suggestive to us. 'fhe shell fish in which they were found rested at the bottom of the deeper waters where divers could not work, for the shells were large and could not easily be picked up. There was also the danger which the fisherman had to guard against of being caught in the jaws of these huge bivalves, as they lay Sometimes hidden on the floor of the sea. 'Pouch them and they would close with a snap like a steel trap. Woe betide the unwary fisherman who should have a hand or a foot caught in those serrated jaws, for it would he crushed and held as in a vice. Hence the fisherman resorted to strategy. On a calm day when the water was clear he would peer down into it and locate his shell and then take an iron bar and let it down by a rope through the dee)) quiet water straight into the open bivalve. Upon this bar the shell-fish would close like a damp and hold to it till taken up into the boat ( raft) and its tendons were cut with a knife. Sometimes the smaller bivalves were taken and placed in pockets of the rocks in shoal water, there to he kept till grown or till wanted for food, and strangely enough the bivalves when thus transplanted were very wary, they would not open as wide as those in the deeper water —their meat could rarely he got at without breaking the shell. The fisherman who wished to save the shell of his fish would creep upon it unawares and thrust his knife or spear into the slightly opened aperture and cut (he tendon before it could close. Xow this is a lesson for us—yve are searchers after pearls, after the shining qualities which make up character; we need the priceless pearl of a perfect character. If ever more we seek to be better and yet better our characters shall grow till they are perfect. All else is for this end—there is hut one pearl of perfect character, it is the Christ-like character. How those poor Gilbert islanders toiled for their earthly gems: how careful and wary and patient they were to find them and how they rejoiced over those of large commercial value. So our toil and con- tention is for the pearl that is priceless, which things of earth cannot buy—how patient we ought to be in our search for it.—Rev. W. N. Lono at the Kohala Association, Sept. 19, 1901. [October, 1901. THE FRIEND. 144 Letter From Rev. A. C. Walkup. By favor of Rev. Dr. Bingham. "Hiram Bingham," Nonouti, June 22, 1 <pi. Rev, 11.

They are workers, and they hope to raise up some good Gilbert Island workers. Many at Tapitcuea and Nonouti are seeking the way of life. What a pity that so many of the laborers are untrue. % At both places the Church has sent out three couples to out-villages—something like Luke, Chapter 10. And the results are revivals. Wonderful are the Lord's ways to "make his paths straight." Butaritari, July 19. We were at Xonouti the sad June. We gave them the ijtb and 10th Sabbaths of the tour. We ordained the catcchist Uatioa; he has stood fire as a teacher 13 years. We admitted 13 lambs to the Church for the new shepherd to look after. They voted 21 letters of dismissal to other churches, of those teaching and in scliuol at Kusaie. Xow many who have been with the Catholics for years are attending our worship. At Abemama the spiritual side of the work was not so encouraging. ( >f the 58 Seekers of last year only 14 were admitted to the Church. Altho the contributions for the six months were $150. Prom Abemama we ran for Tarawa and left Rev. Teraoi to seek again his flock, as many fell at .annual dancing prolonged. Here the people are tired of the "religion of work," and are hungry and wicked, and some are said to transgress to get imprisoned and fed.
