LX HONOLULU, T. H. AUGUST, 1902 EDITORIAL AND GENERAL We extend a hearty welcome to Rev and Mrs. Kozaki. The teachers of government schools and workers in the various departments of missionary work on the other islands are much in evidence in Honolulu just now. Some are here for rest, some for the Summer School. The statement made in the Advertiser a few da\s ago to the effect that the Mills Institute and Kawaiahao Seminary were to be combined is without foundation. There has been some discussion of the of concentrating the educational work of the Hawaiian P.oard, but no steps have as yet been taken to that end. subject The coming of Rev. Mr. Kozaki and bis wife will doubtless be a moans of greatly stimulating the Japanese work. The conference of pastors and evangelists to be held in Honolulu next week should be a good beginning for the visits to the different parts of the field that will naturally follow. We advise all who see the present issue of The FRIEND to read what Dr. Scudder says in his letter about Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki. ( NO. VIII waiian Evangelical Association at its an- it shall be expended. Under the present nual meeting held last month at Lahaina. circumstances the church is in a peculiarThis paper now publishes monthly the ly favorable condition to adopt any course translation of Peloubet's International Sunday School Lessons, which in the past \ ears were published in the Hoahana, the quarterly pamphlet originated by Dr. Hyde, and continued up to the present time. The publication of the latter will now be discontinued, the Hoaloha taking its place. The Sunday Schools in every quarter are now sending in their orders for the Hoaloha, the subscription price of which is $1.50 per annum, but in package* of live or upward is placed at the low figure of $1 a copy for the year. We are confident that a wide opportunity for good work is now open to this new publication, which is a companion paper of The Friend. Sometime ago the Hawaiian Board passed a vote expressing regret that this once prominent native minister had been installed pastor of the Wainee church at Lahaina. At the last meeting of the Board, held July 18th, it was voted that a statement of its former action be published in The Friend and the Hoaloha. The facts leading to this action are, briefly, these: A few years ago Mr. Kapu was temporarily suspended from the ministery by the Maui Association for conduct of a flagrantly immoral character. Two years or more ago the same Association, on confession of his fault, restored him to his former standing. He has not held any pastoral charge, however, in the meantime, and the Board has on one former occasion declined to assist him when it was proposed to again appoint him to work. Its present action is based on the belief that Mr. Kapu should find a field of usefulness in some other relation than that of the pastorate. The case was referred to the Maui Association. The Case of Rev. S. Kapu The American Board's little schooner, Carrie and Annie. Captain Mitchell, which attempts to take the place of the Morning Star of former years, having been repaired and furnished with some new sails, arrived from San Francisco on Saturday July 5, and sailed away for the various groups of Micronesia on Tuesday, July Bth. She carried supplies for the several missionary families of the American missionaries, and took on from Honolulu a few packages of supplies of the Honolulu missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte, of lone Pleasant Island. These packages will probably be landed at Jaluit of the Marshall group, to be forward- The Kaumakapili According to a stateed tlufcice to Pleasant Island by one of the Fire Claims Award ment in the morning German trading vessels. paper a short time ago, the Court of Fire Claims has awarded to new monthly pa- the trustees of Kaumakapili church the The Hoaloha This per, which in a nicas- sum of $46,822, in compensation for the ure is the successor of a long series of destruction of the church and its furnishperiodicals published in the past, by the ings in the Chinatown fire, which ocmissionaries and religious teachers of the curred at the time of the plague.

The church is to be congratulated upon this fortunate circumstance. The problem before it moreover, is not a difficult one, although it contains several elements. In the first place the membership of the church is quite widely scattered since the fire, and the Hawaiians are averse to traveling long distances to church. Then again there is the tendency of the Hawaiians to more and more come to Honolulu to live, showing that here is to be the place of greatest opportunity for helping them with the Gospel. These facts would indicate that the church that is in a condition to exert a continuous and widely extended influence will be the church of power in the future. Kaumakapili just now holds the key to the situation. This would seem to consist in having several well sustained centres of influence instead of one. For instance let the present neat and inexpensive chapel at Palama be moved from its present secluded location out on one of the lots now held by the trustees, on King street, and made into a pastor's house. Then on the main lot eroct a neat and inexpensive rfiurcli. Let a modest chapel be built up Nuuanti Valley in the neighborhood of the little chapel at Waikahalulu, and the chapels in Pauoa Valley and Maemae be repaired, and a basis of operations would be established in a number of important centres. Then let two or three pood native ministers be employed to work these fields and hold services in the chapels. The advantages of such a method would be that the influence of the church would be exerted where the people are and there would be from $30,000 to $35,000 of the money left to invest, to aid in supporting the pastors and in carrying on the work. On the other hand if the whole sum of money awarded by the Court of Fire Claims should be expended in putting up a single large building, a much smaller number of the people would be reached and the burden of maintaining the work would fall entirely upon this comparative few, and much of the money would be spent in keeping up a costly building instead of extending the work of the Gospel. We hope our Kaumakapili brethren will see their opportunity. �4 _~ THK FRIEND . One feels a hesitancy .•' in attempting an ediof as torial on the subject intemperance it now exists in the Hawaiian Islands. There is £0 much to say, which needs to be wisely and calmly said, that only the urgency of the case would lead to the discussion at all. There is one fact, however, that lioth the testimony of those in the best position to know, and the nature of the situation as seen in the bare statement of it, would seem to place beyond a reasonable doubt, and that is that the 1 lawaiian people are being sacrificed to appease the greed of the liquor sellers. In the days of their heathenism, the 1 lawaiians used to sacrifice the bodies of their HumanSacrifice ~ slain enemies Upon the altars of their gods. We recoil with horror from the thought, and are thankful for the coming of a religion which was able to deliver them from such a practice. And yet under the so-called protection, and as a part of the very people who gave them this religion, they are permitted to be immolated before a Moloch whose rapacity exceeds '.bat of any demon a superstitious people ever imagined. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at Lahaina, one of the most prominent of the native pastors, after relating what he saw passing under his own eyes, said to the writer, "It makes me feel sorry, for I know that in twenty or twenty-five years there will be no more Hawaiian people." There will, of course, be difference of opinion as to the length of time needed to complete the destruction, but this is an irrelevant matter. The fact remains that the destruction is going on. It is not a matter either of who is to blame, or what view one may lake theoretically or otherwise ot the method of licensing now- in vogue. It is aside from the' question also to discuss what the people themselves may desire or whether there may not be other causes working to the same end ; the hard fact still remains that the Hawaiian people are being made the victims of a business that gives nothing of value in return for what it takes, and that makes its gain from the' lower appetites and desires of men and women. Testimony to the' evil being wrought by the increased indulg ence in intoxicating drink came' to hand previous to the Lahaina meeting in the reports of tln- superintendents of the I la waiian Hoard's work in the different islands. None of the' writers of c urse knew that the others would mention the subject. This testimony is valuable be cause spontaneous and unsought and it shows bow wtclelv extended the evil is and how uniformly it is working to one end wherever it is. This testimony was fully corroborated by the pastors and delegates-to the churches.' The result was the passing of the resolution to be sent to the Governor, which is given on enir tem- and with the general principle that law perance page.

These leaders in American evangelical seminaries for training ministers are thus f mnd in company with such thoroughly seep deal European teachers as Schmiedel, Csener. and Van Maiie'ii. These critics absolutely discard as impossible all Miracles and Divine Inspiration. Hence Van Manen of Leyden denies that Paul wrote any of the epistles attributed to him. or that anything is certainly known about that apostle, lb is so absorbed in his sceptical convictions that he is absolutely insensible to the intense personality which throbs throughout Paul's epistles and proclaims his authorship as light proclaims the sun.

Such is Higher Criticism when perverted by the unscientific and shallow assumption that the Supernatural is incredible, for that is the ruling canon of the critics named. It is pitiful that Christian teachers should parade' in such company. Yet it may be counted a good thing that such an exposure should be made of misleading principles which have so greatly governed the Higher Critics of the Old Testament. Now that the same methods are applied to the New, the absurdity of tlie'ir conclusions becomes plain to view, when the obvious internal evidence of the genuineness of Paul's epistles is discarded. Let us not be misunderstood as contemning all conclusions of Higher Critics, many of which have much force. But they are to be received with caution, because largely mingled with human conjecture and fancy. Still more do we respect established conclusions of Science as to the age of the earth, and origin of the human race. These do not at all affeci the glorious facts of Christ's Redemptive work. Christians need not fear any permanent success for this unbelief in the Bible.

SCUDDER The following letter relating to Rev. and Mrs. Kozaki, who have recently come to Hawaii to engage in a brief evangelistic campaign among the Japanese ped- pie here, has lately been received from Dr. thu'tico of this aggressive denonrimtion, she brought to her husband a most devoted, enSeudder.

Those who know her best A niicbi Kozaki, who are about to visit Hawaii speak of her as fully one half of the Kozaki on an evangelistic tour among the Japanese, team. may be of interest to the readers of Tiik Kuikmi. Mrs. Kozaki was a member of the ii>si graduating class of the Doshisha, which gave to Japan so many of its Christian leaders and brought the name of the college into such prominence. His first great work was in the capital city of Tokyo where he established the well known llancho Kuniiai (Congregational) Church. Here he displayed remarkable tact' in winning men from very varied walks in life. I well remember attending a communion service in this Church some fourteen years ago. Among those received sat a farmer on the front seat, clad in ordinary native dress and with bare feet, while but a foot or two away were seated one of the highest judges in the Empire and a Japanese I'eer, graduate of Vale University, dressed of course as befitted their stations in life. The building was thronged to the doors and the service a model of simplicity. By patient unremitting labor in simple quiet fashion Mr. Kozaki built up what was then in many respects the most remarkable Church in the country. At the same time he was also editor of two of the leading Christian publications, one a weekly periodical, the other a monthly magazine. Though these he influenced a very wide circle scattered all over the Empire, and it is doubtful whether any Japanese Christian was doing more for the upbuilding of Christianity here than he. From this most important sphere Mr. Kozaki was for a time called to the Presidency of the Doshisha and in this connection he visited the United States for a period of study in Vale University. After a few years, however, he became convinced that the pastorate offered the sphere in which he could accomplish most for the Kingdom of Christ, and a second time he went to Tokyo :now to assume the leadership of the Kcinanzaka Church. He began work at a most critical time when the antiforeign reaction had played sad havoc with Church life and the splendid advance of the Christian army in Japan seemed to have been turned into a disastrous retreat. In the same quiet manner as before, however, he took hold of the affairs of his new charge, gathered the people together and laid places for an aggressive campaign. At the same time he was carrying forward his editorial work. Finally a year ago when the Twentieth Century Forward Evangelistic movement was inaugurated he became one of its leaders, saw his own Church revived and this year followed up the advan- by a most successful gospel campaign. Perhaps the chief cause of Mr. Kozaki's pre- tage eminence as a Christian leader is his staunch adherence to the truth. Throughout all these years of controversy his countrymen have never been at a loss where to find him. Others once known as widely as he for their successful leadership have brought reproach upon themselves and the cause of Christ by lapsing from the faith, hut Mr. Kozaki has never swerved in his allegiance to his Master. His great wisdom and gentle tact have also endeared him to his people. No stronger contrast could be imagined than that presented by Mr. Kozaki and the evangelist Kimura who did such a good work in Hawaii some months ago. Yet after a few weeks association in the gospel campaign in Tokyo Air. Kimura has come to look upon Mr. Kozaki with rare admiration and even veneration. Mr. Kozaki has a remarkable helpmeet in bis wife. Graduated at the Methodist Girls' School in Tokyo and trained under the in- The Hawaiian work should feel most deeply permanently the influence of the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki.

It is no small matter that they have SO secured the cooperation of the Emigration companies that a large share of the expense involved in this visit is to be borne by these corporations. Let every friend of the progress of Christian work in the Islands unite in fervent prayer that the Spirit of God may be poured out upon Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki and that their brief mission may mean a new era of advance for the Kingdom of the Master both in Hawaii and Japan. In this connection it may be added that the Question of conserving the results of the faithful labor of love carried on in behalf of the Japanese in Hawaii by keeping in close tonh with those converted there who have returned here and using them for the extension of Christian influence and work is being seriously considered just at present. On a recent tour through Hiroshima and Yamaguchi Mr. Miya- ma. a temperance advocate, found Christians from Hawaii scattered in many towns and villages. His report has stirred up no little interest. The outcome may show that what has been done in the Islands is to prove of lasting benefit to Japan. DoremUS Seudder. June ->X, iooj. LETTER FROM DR. ARTHUR H. SMITH The following letter from Dr. Smith. who has had long experience and is one of the keenest observers in China, will be of interest to the readers of Thk Friend at the present time. On tiik (Ikanh Canal fn Route for Shantung, June 16, 1902. To TiiF Editor ok Tiik Friend:— I avail myself of the enforced idleness of a day with a strong headwind in which the boat can not even move, to send a few lines about China and its present conditions. The most immediately impressive fact is the prevailing hot winds from the south, and the circumstance that down to the present time there has been very little or no rain. Where we arc at present (about half way between and our Shantung destination) the wheat crop on which in northern Cliina so much depends has been an almost complete failure, and hardly anything has yet been planted. From appearances it will be too late for anything but Indian corn, beans, sweet-potatoes and the like. On this densely populated plain this makes an amount and a degree of suffering which can be imperfectly appreciated in your fertile and beautiful Islands. But this is far from all or the worst. All over China this appears to have been a phenomenally dry year. Such a water-famine as has prevailed in Hongkong during the spring, is unexampled. Thousands of Chinese have been obliged to scoop up a little from the in its use under these conditions in a time of plague is not an encouraging nor an agreeable fact to contemplate. In southern China similar conditions have prevailed over several provinces, and there was grave fear for a time in the Yang-tzu valley lest the rice crop be lost. gutters, and their economy �6 The importance of these events lies not alone in their relation to food supply, but to the preservation of social order. China is in a condition of great unrest. * For many months there has been an extensive rebellion raging in the southern province of Kuangsi, of which it is impossible at the north to get clear and trustworthy accounts. From the best information available, it would seem that it is not unlike the rising against the Manchu Dynasty a little more than half a century ago, known as the "T'ai Ping rebellion" which lasted for half a generation, devastated the fairest half of the Empire, and destroyed an incomputable number of lives. But for foreign help it might never have been put down, and there are some who witnessed its rise and fall, (as for example Dr. W. A. P. Martin) who have never THE FRIEND formed papers in the U.

We should be rejoiced if it had, and should be glad of evidence, but most of us fail to find anything tangible.

At all events it is easy to see that had Great Britain and the few "Powers" of that day taken the side of the insurgents the history of a large part of the world would have been very different. Foreign troops arc being withdrawn from China, the instalments of the Indemnity are being slowly and with difficulty paid, and many are trying to take account of stock, and to see what after all we have saved from the great Boxer uprising. It is for one thing quite clear to the most obtuse anti-foreign Chinese that the foreigner can not be driven out, and that the Christian Church against which much relentless fury was directed is practically immortal—having been slain as was rightly supposed, hut having risen from the dead. The spiritual condition of the Church is in some places and in some respects better and stronger than before, but in others worse. Persecution has not destroyed it, though so many were killed, but covetousness, revenge, and the dangers of prosperity have left in many places deep marks. It is much to be regretted that the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church do not seem to care to insist upon, or even in many regions to advise a conciliatory policy toward outsiders. The result is such a sowing of dragon's teeth as is widely thought to mean a coming harvest of future ills not less serious than those of the past, with the additional possible feature of open hostility on the part of the Catholics toward the Protestants. It is not surprising that mere men of the world disregarding all religious considerations, frequently represent (and doubtless believe) that China would be far better off today had she never heard of any "Western religion"—a view cordially adopted by her own scholars. It is easy to expose the inadequacy of this position, but to suggest a remedy for the present and especially for the prospective evils involved is far more difficult. If the "Powers" could come to some sort of an understanding, and terminate the distinctly political policy of the Romanist Church as a menace to the autonomy of China and thus to the peace of the World, the condition of things would soon improve. But there is no probability of such an agreement, or of any agreement other than in externals, and China will not unlikely continue to remain the foot-ball of the Nations, until some different phase of the trouble is presented. It does not follow that because Boxerism failed, that there will be no further armed struggles on the part of this ancient and mighty Empire. The prohibition of the importation of weapons is a direct stimulus to their manufacture in a scale never before attempted. The national feeling of the Chinese (which represents what elsewhere is termed "patriotism") was never so stirred as during the past few years.

WESTERVELT The Evangelical Association of the churches of the Hawaiian Islands held its annual session in Lahaina the first week in July. The ministers of the various islands unanimously expressed their grief at the enormous increase of saloons and the resulting increase of drunkenness among the Hawaiians. A large committee was appointed to draft resolutions to be sent to the Governor, asking him to suppress this evil as far as is in his power. One point in the resolutions is quite important. It calls attention to the fact that the Governor is the appointee of the President of the United States, and is not subject to the ballot of the people, and, therefore, can only be reached by petition. The resolutions read as follows: Whereas there has been a large increase of saloons in our islands during the past two years, And Whereas, all the reports from the Hawaiian Ministers to this Hawaiian Evangelical Association testify to the alarming increase of drunkenness resulting therefrom, And Whereas, government exists for the best interests of the people and we look to our government to suppress rather than promote evil, And Whereas, our Governor holels his office by appointment of the President of the United States and is therefore in great measure independent of local control and can only be reached by petition, Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, now in cession at Lahaina, respectfully and earnestly request the Governor of this Territory to use his power for the suppression of this evil. During Governor Dole's absence in the there was considerable official discussion concerning extending the limits for liquor saloons along Queen street to Kawaiahao Church yard. Governor Dole, however on his return, decided against the extension, although the other officials were strongly in favor. It is comparatively easy for the officials in subordinate positions to advocate measures which are not for the highest welfare of the people and leave the entire onus to rest upon the Governor. east can easily keep liquor out if they try. (2) Put the U. S. revenue officers on the trail of the makers of "swipes." (3) The use of beer (and of course stronger lieiuors) decreases the power to resist disease. The leper has enough to bear now. (4) Any use of alcoholic liquors is a prohibition of a chance of recovery, if remedies can be found for the disease. Sixth. Dealers' licenses are granted for $500. This is practically the same as a wholesaler's license in its power to authorize the sale of all kinds of liquors with the addition that since it is a so-called business by itself, the dealers may sell ardent spirits in any quantity not less than one gallon—and wine, beer and ale not less than one dozen bottles. Drinking such purchased liquors is prohibited on the premises controlled by the dealer. Seventh. Retail liquor saloon licenses are given for $1000 annually within a certain limited territory. This territory was outlined during the days of the Republic of Hawaii. And can now only be changed by the Treasurer of the Territory, with the consent of the Governor or of the Acting Governor in case of the Governor's absence. The Acting Governor has been responsible for certain changes which it is possible the Governor would not have considered, but which could not well be revok- Several children have lately been res- ed when the Governor returned to office.

In facture of malt liquors over fifteen years ago the Minister of the Interior was authorized to issue a brewery license for fifteen years, with no provision for extension. This license expired some time ago and the Treasurer of the Territory about two months ago. on his own responsibility, issued an unauthorized extension or new license to the brewing company. It is difficult to understand how that license can be worth the paper it is written on—let alone the $150.00 which the owners of the brewery paid for it. This license cost $150.00 a year and a tax of five cents a gallon for all malt liquors made and sold. Second. Beer saloons selling nothing else but the beer manufactured in the territory and paying a fee of $250.00 could be located by the Treasurer of the Territory wherever he saw fit. Judge Estee of the U. S. District Court decided that this provision was in conflict with inter-state law and ordered Treasurer Wright to close up this class of saloons. Mr. Wright's failure to take action has made him subject to a trial for contempt of court before Judge Estee. These are the celebrated and widely advertised Primo Beer saloons. In this case as well as in that of the brewery the Treasurer has apparently been on the side of evasion rather than enforcement of law. Third. According to the Penal laws for 1898 light wine, beer and ale saloons can be licensed for an annual fee of $200 each, provided that "not more than three such licenses shall be issued for each of the Judicial Districts in the Territory" and also provided that no such license shall 'be issued for such a saloon within two miles of a retail liquor saloon. Nuuanu Valley. Waikiki and Kalihi were to be considered Judicial Districts. Fourth. A Distiller's license can be granted for a fee of $250 a year. No such licenses appear to have been issued. Certainly according to official reports there are no distilleries in operation at the present time. Fifth. Wholesale Vending licenses are granted to wholesale merchants for $500 a year. This allows any one who has a license to sell merchandise to include the sale of intoxicants of all kinds "in quantities not less than the A leading editorial in the Advertiser of July 17, makes a strong, sensible plea against permitting any kind of a saloon in the leper settlement.

"FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH" Fight 1 that is the word to the young men of today. "Peace conferences" and "Peace Societies" are well enough in their way, but their emphasis is on the barbarity of certain modes of warfare, and mainly political. There will always be war while there is sin; for sin is war! War upon the things that ought to be by the forces of things as they are. Therefore, oh young men, fight! Punch the bag and develop a muscle, for a good muscle helps to fire the brain. Keep the eye clean and the heart strong, by avoiding alcohol and tobacco and late hours, and by inhaling pure air, morning sunlight, and wholesome fexid. Fight! with the brain. Compel its attention till the page or the tool yields up its secret, and you can go forth a masterartisan, either with books or machines. The world is calling loudly for men with trained muscle, trained eye, trained mind who can not do anything; but who can do one thing, and and do it so well, that employers are willing to compete for such a service. Fight! with the Soul. Drive the hammer with a prayer, and wield the pen. with a hymn. Let the bag of tools be a sure witness to consecrated manhood. Fight! so that the suggestion to labor less than sixty minutes to the hour will never be made a second time. So that the whistle to stop work will be discord compared to that music in the Soul, conscious of honest labor and receiving work as a divine commission. Fight! Repel the suggestion that the Christian is a puny man with flabby flesh and jellyfish mind. Never be tired at election-time and be ye more interested in the sinners who vote early and often, than in the saints who appear to be dead, or ought to be. Don't argue with a man as to whether Jonah was swallowed by a whale; or whether Balaam's ass made a speech; but find out if he himself swallows so much that there is little left for wife and children. Know if his speech is kind to the woman he took from her happy home, and to the little ones that play at his knee, and if these things are not as they ought to be, fight! Hit him in his moral and mental make-up so that his soul will know a Christian from a faker. Fight for the Church! Hate the lie with an undying hatred, that says that most preachers are time-servers, and have an easy berth; that says that most members are hypocrites more or less; that the THE FRIEND Churches are only for the rich and welldressed, and are unwilling to help the poor to get higher; that only women and children go; and that the world as a whole is going to the devil. Hate and fight these malicious messengers of meanness and misery. Defend the Church and God'l world with a well-preserved body, a clear strong cheerful mind, an eye that flashes at impurity, and laughs at every child, an ear shut to every slander and nasty voice, and a soul so full of music, of God and love for men that your trumpet shall sound a song of joy every day you live. Herbert Sydney Cox, in The Evangelist. AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE The Convention at LahaChrlstian Endeavor ma was not all that was hoped for, there having been a misunderstanding concerning the time set for it. The Christian Endeavor people, however, good humoredly accepted the rather unfortunate hour from six to seven, imme- portions of Scripture. By common consent, the people from the valley of Halawa, Molokai, are credited with the finest singing and lessons. The singing was under the leadership of Mr. J. Nakaleka. This man must be a leader of more than ordinary skill, and is reported to have been a student at Lahainaluna. There has been a fine report given also of the large Sunday School which came from Hookena under the leadership of Mr. T. K. R. Amah) and Mr. T. N. Haae. It is hard to calculate the good which is the outcome of such gatherings as this, but anyone who has seen and beard the well prepared and decorous exercises will be slow to believe that the chances for demoralization which such gatherings present cast the balance against their effectiveness. The Sunday Schools in their annual meeting heartily indorsed the new paper the "Hoaloha," and the management proposes to make it an efficient organ to bring before Sunday School scholars the best possible material on Sunday School topics and general matters of interest for the family. The Young Men's Bible Class of Kawaiahao have determined to promote the social life of the class, and had their first outing on Saturday. the 19th.

On his first visit to a foreigner's house, a Japanese gentleman once said tt) me, "It seems very strange to us to thing of having to hang yourself on a chair when you want to sit down, or of laying yourself on a shelf when you want to lie down, but 1 suppose it seems just as strange to you to lie down at night where you have been walking anel sitting all day." Coming to Hawaii, the Japanese have thus far, I believe, rarely built their own houses. Most of them have not come to stay; and they live in such houses as are provided for them, or as they can afford to rent. Many are in tenement-houses, where they submit to the discomfort of sitting on a floor which has only a straw matting over it. Usually, the family occupies but one room, the cooking being done on the verandah or in a little shed in the rear. To one who has seen the neatness of even the humblest homes in Japan, the lack of neatness in many of the Japanese tenement houses is at first surprising. Often, where the rooms themselves seem clean and attractive, the verandahs and surrounding premises are strewn with wooden boxes, tins and other debris and are apparently never cleaned. This state of things is doubtless partially clue to the use of stairs and passage-ways, and verandahs and back yards in common with other tenants—something to which the occupants have not been accustomed in the homeland. It is on the plantations that we long to see changes which will make the homes more comfortable and attractive. At present the Japanese laborers are for the most part crowded in tenement houses such as have been described with but one rooms for each family, and no other place but the verandah where even a rain-coat can be hung to dry. In the earlier days the laborers mostly left their families in Japan, but now they are sending for them, about twenty wives coming by every steamer, and if each family could have a separate cottage such as is furnished to the Portuguese, the change might go far in helping to inculcate morality and self-respect. Already such provision is made for the Japanese on some of the plantations. The representatives of the Japanese Government, professional men, bankers, and many of the merchant class resident here, live in separate houses, furnished in Occidental style, containing all the comforts of American homes, and suggestive of the home life they tend to cultivate.

"Dr. Maud Allen who has just returned from India gave a vivid description of the need of this uplifting work by the Indian women. Japan is a new field where comparatively little work is done, but of late some few workers have felt a deep desire to see the work greatly enlarged there. There are large factories there where hundreds of girls are employed and it is here a crusade is planned. Miss Taylor proposed this plan, that one association or more, if all are small, band together and pledge themselves to give so much each year towards sending a missionary to some foreign field. She said some associations were already doing this and were very happy in it. The girls of the coast voted unanimously to try it. "The workers from abroad tried to impress upon the girls that there is something in the Christian life that is of practical value to help one in all the details of life. The really most helpful thing to the girls was the heart to heart talks the workers had with them. "Saturday was class day. All donned their college colon and had a gala day. Sunday morning after breakfast all were invited to join in family worship, "just like home," in the rotunda of the building. There were experience meeting! where it WOttld have done your heart good to have listened to the earnest utterances by the girls.

It did me a world of good and I so often wished that you and your girls could have been there. As the great ocean waves came dashing up almost on the doorsteps of the building they seemed to bring greetings from Honolulu.

The sessions of the first day were taken up in organizing and in reading the statistical tables of the churches and the reports e>f the island associations. The annual report of the Secretary was read Wednesday evening and the report of the Treasurer Thursday morning, after which was heard the report of Mr. Timoteo, the evangelist.

Pastoral support had been most complete on Kauai and ()ahu ; outside aid had been partially reduced on Maui, Moll ikai and I lawaii.

Each calendar year a new set of statistics is called for. The labor of collecting, compiling and forwarding these statistics is done by Mr. Emerson and it is desirable to have the'in as full as possible. Mr. Emerson, chairman of the committee for a monument for the missionary fathers, reported $144.95 ;is already contributed by the churches and in the bank drawing interest at four per cent. The plan is to continue the year collections till a sufficient sunt is secured for the erection of u fitting work of art, either a series of tablets in Kawaiahao church with the names of the successive missionary reinforcements, or a monument possibly on the grounds of the cluireh. By vote of the Association, the second Sunday in April is again set .apart for the presentation of the work of the missionaries and for taking a collection to increase the Memorial Fund.

Sunday was a day of great possibilities somewhat marred by the course of events.
