She spoke of the high place given to the women by our Lord, so different from the standard of the Jews of that day. the afternoon of April 14. There was an informal but interesting discussion of woman's work on various lines, after which reports of several committee's were heard. The committee on the anti-cigarette movement among the children of our public schools was very encouraging, quite a large number of pledges having been secured. Something has also been done to encourage school children to save their money by means of the school bank systtin. Other subjects of importance were brought up.

We say "hopeful"— that some of our money is in sight, "for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" A very large overdraft during the middle of the year was entirely wiped out by the munificence of one of our givers. This condition of affairs is not likely to occur every year in the ordinary run of things, hence, although there is strong reason to believe that we may end the year without debt, provided some of our usual generous donors help as previously, the thought of next year presents some difficult questions. We are not afraid, however—"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." We trust that our usual supporters will rally to our aid, so that our hope expressed abovemay be realized, for "we with patience wait for it." not The meeting of the W. C. T. U. this month (or for the month of April) was of more than usual interest. The subject of the meeting was woman's work. The leader, Mrs. Whitney, in her opening remarks, spoke upon the new rendering of the verse in Psalms 68:11. "The Lord gave the word.

Every yeai fuLWjoo tons of paper are used for this purpoV*alorte. Orders for 100,000 Bibles are quite common, and the supply of printed sheets is to great that an order for half a million copies can be readily filled. On an average, from 30 to 40 Bibles are furnished every minute, and this number versity Press can readily he doubled. There are no fewer than 110 different editions of the Oxford Bibles in English, varying from the magnificent folio edition for pulpit use to the "brilliant' Bible, the smallest edition of the Scripture! in the world. Of the Revised Version, four- editions are published. More than million copies of the revised New Testament had been ordered before the day of publication in May of 1881, and it is claimed that the worlcingmcn of the establishment refused a bribe of some four thousand pounds to furnish a copy of the book before the day of issue. At the banquet held at the four hundredth celebration of the beginning of the art of printing in England by Caxton, Gladstone took into his hands and exhibited fo those present a copy of the Bible which had lieen printed and hound entirely since midnight of the preceding day. The preparation of the "India paper" used by the Oxford University press is a business secret of great value. Although frentiently imitated it has never been equaled.

In the seventeen years since the Press has been under the management of Horace Hart, the number of employees has increased from 278 to 650. One or two Germans and American MissionariesCtahroleins v a „ u c c ~. hayc appeared in our daily papers lately in re- gard to interference on the part of MiGerman authorities with the American missionaries in Ruk, Micronesia. Fuller reports are now at hand in the papers from the mainland. As there stated, the facts are as follows: On December 26th four of the stu- dents of the Mission Training School at Ruk were arrested on the charge of preaching against the German government ; and after being kept in confinement till February 16th, they were taken to Ponape, three hundred and fifty miles away. Ponape is the island on which the German Governor resides, and it is supposed that the students were taken there for trial. The American missionary resident on Ruk is the Rev. M. L. Sanson, a missionary of the American Hoard. It is stated in the reports that grave charges were also made against him, but that he was not arrested, although the captain of the German warship behaved with great insolence. The case has been brought to the attention of the Department of State at Washington by the officials of the American Hoard, as the missionaries under their direction are instructed to be loyal to the governments under which they labor, and the officers of the Board are consequently averse to accepting the statement that it has been otherwise in this case. Additional ground for appeal is also given in th: .s instance in the fact that when Germany actiuired the Spanish possessions in Micronesia, it was stipulated by the United States, and agreed to by Germany, that the rights of Americans in the islands should be preserved. This episode, indicating as it probably does, an unfriendly attitude toward the American Protestant missionary work in the German possessions in Micronesia, introduces another complicating element into a problem already full of difficulty. The Micronesian mission is the most �4 costly of all the American Hoard's missions as compared with its results, and the Board has been trying" to make arrangements by which it could turn over its work there to the Protestant societies of England and Germany, to whom the various groups of islands belong, but so far without success. It remains to be seen what will grow out of this latest development. The growth of The Teacher and the American instituPhilanthropist j as they exist tons today is due in large degree to two types of men, namely, the men who do the pioneer work in education antl religion, and Christian philanthropists, who, as the newer communities take on permanent and settled forms, furnish the -means for the support of those institutions which conserve and perpetuate the work of the earlier laborers. In the United States these two types of men are seen in the home missionaries and educators of the western frontier, and the Christian men of wealth of the eastern and middle portions of the land. These two classes of men are the bulwark of American civilization and liberty, in that they uphold the ideals of life essential among a people of democratic ideas, and endeavor to incarnate these ideals in the people by means of Christian schools and religious institutions. In Father Railey and Mr. Athertoii, who have lately passed from earth, and whose lives and work are described in another part of this paper, we have representatives of these two types of men. Roth were thoroughly American, and their influence was such as to prepare for and foster the American principles which we now wish to see dominant in these Islands. Father Bailey was the early teacher and promoter of industrial enterprises. He worked with small means among primitive conditions. He planted ideas which have borne fruit—to what extent no one knows—in the lives of the Hawaiian people, and which had their effect in the formation of a Christian civilization. Mr. Atherton reaped the material benefits which the earlier work made possible, and turned them back with a generous hand for the enlargement and firmer establishment of the institutions founded by the fathers, and for the inauguration of such new ones as the changed conditions of the later years called for. There are probably few, if any, of our institutions of the philanthropic and benevolent kind that are not indebted to him in some degree for their present status. The two men wrought in different spheres, yet they worked to the same purpose in that the larger ends sought THE FRIEND by them lay in the higher interests of humanity. Such men are the world's benefactors, and richly deserve the respect and gratitude of their fellow-men. THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF REV. EDWARD G. BECKWITH, D. D., AND MRS. CAROLINE P. ARMSTRONG BECKWITH We can recall but four golden weddings that have occurred among our acquaintances of the Island community. Mr. Beckwith, fresh from Williams College and from the paternal home in Great Harrington, amid the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts, having won the highest honors at Williams College, arrived in Honolulu in 1852 and took charge of the Royal School on the southwestern slope of Punchbowl. On April 17, 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline P. Armstrong, the oldest daughter of Dr. Richard Armstrong, then Minister of Public Instruction and founder of the common school system of these Islands, and the father also of General S. C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute for the colored people. For about five years Mr. Beckwith was principal of the Royal School, in which lie had for pupils the last sovereign and one of the princesses of the Hawaiian Islands, namely, Liliuokalani, and Princess Victoria. Besides these royal personages, many of the leading men ami women of the past half century were among his pupils. Mo algebraic equation can reveal to human view the value of the influence of this young Christian teacher upon the minds and hearts of these soon-to-be powerful leaders of the Hawaiian race. None can tell us how much of the law-abiding character of the Hawaiian people and of the peaceful conduct of the government in the forty succeeding years of troublesome and revolutionary times was due to the gentle but powerful influence of this one consecrated New England school teacher. In 1857 Mr. Beckwith was ordained to the gospel ministry, and soon after left for the United States, in company with Dr. Armstrong, where he- raised $30,000 for the endowment of Oahu College, of which he became the first president. Besides this fund raised in the States, many of the missionary fathers gave largely from their small means toward the endowment. From its foundation in 1841, to this time, 1857, Punahou School had for its principal Rev. Daniel Dole, the most of whose pupils -were the children of the missionary families. Both as principal of the Royal School and as president of Oahu College, Di. Beckwith exerted a most powerful and benign influence over a wide circle of th_ mission children. As an example of plain living and high thinking, or perhaps, more correctly, as the inspirer of lofty ideals, the good Doctor exerted untold influence over his afterward most distinguished brother-in-law, General Armstrong, who said of Dr. Beckwith that he had never met one whose ideals were as uplifting until he met President Mark Hopkins of Williams College. After a few years as president of ()ahu College, he resigned and was called to the pastorate of a church in Sacramento, California. Thence he went to Andovc-r Theological Seminary for study, and later became the pastor of a church in San Francisco, whose pulpit he filled for some years. His next charge was mi Waterbury, Connecticut, whence he returned again to San Francisco, and wis pastor of a church in the Mission Dolores. From this, his fourth pastorate in the United States, he was called in 18S7 to the pastorate of Central Union Church of Honolulu. Many of his former pupils were members of the Bethel and Fort street churches, and during tin's pastorate of six years a new and commodious building was erected on Beretania street. Early in 1894, on account of Mrs. health, he resigned and accepted a call to the Foreign Church of I'aia, Maui, where for ten years he has been the beloved pastor and eloquent preacher. "()n the morning of April 27th. ere the sun was ti|)," says Dr. I leek with, writing from Hamakuapoko, Maui, "the greetings began to break in upon our 'sweet dream of peace,' and all the glad morning the sprites that bring messages and things came trooping in." The substantial gift from their loving Honolulu friends was-accompanied by the following fitting tribute of love and esteem, penned by one of his devoted pupils, Mrs. Emma Dillingham: "Beside the path your feet have trod stand little children, youth, strong men, and those with faltering step, whose hands you have clasped, whose hopes you have stimulated, whose hearts you have strengthened, and whose faith you have sustained. Through all the years they have called you blessed, and now, on this golden day, they lay at your feet their most loyal, tender love and gratitude, praying that you may be spared yet many years to go in and out among them." o.

Man — Universities. — Ex- �THE FRIEND IN MEMORIAM Edward Bailey It becomes the sorrowful privilege of affectionate and .venerating regard to chronicle the departure from earth of the aged missionary, Etlward Bailey, who was the last male survivor of the'missionaries the American Board sent to Hawaii between 1820 and 1850. Mr. Bailey had been permitted, on February 24th, to celebrate his 89th birthday, when he was in his usual comfortable health. Five weeks later, on March 31, he succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at the home of bis youngest son in Alhambra, California. Mr. Bailey was born in Holden, Mass., He there made February 24, 1814. profession of religion in January, 1830. In 1836 he received appointment as in assistant missionary to Hawaii, and on November 28 was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Hubbard, also of Holelen, who was his faithful companion for nearly 58 years. They embarked December 14, 1836, on the ship "Mary Frazier," arriving in Honolulu April 9, 1837, in company with the largest band of missionaries ever sent here, comprising fifteen men with their wives, with two single ladies. Mr. Bailey's first location was at Kohala, removing thence in 1840 to assist in Lahainaluna Seminary. Thence in 1841 he removed to Wailuku to cooperate with Miss Ogden in conducting the Boarding School for girls at that place, in which work he remained until 1849. After that time, Mr. Bailey labored in various special and general educational work for Hawaiians, always active also in spiritual labors. After a short time he became self-supporting by agricultural work. Early in the sixties he engaged in sugar culture, and conducted the eatliest manufacture of sugar in Wailuku, which was extended by his son William with great success antl later became mergeel in the prosperous Wailuk'i plantation. Mr. Bailey also had an active part in starting the Haiku Sugar Company. In such enterprises he acquired a very moderate competence. During the whole of Mr. Bailey's 44 years in Wailuku he continueel to have a ieading influence in both educational and spiritual labors in that district, in cooperation with the missionary pastors there, and latterly the native pastors. He v.aj active in Sunday School work and in helping in the Sabbath and week-day preaching, a labor that he loved. He gave important aid in the erection of the new stone church in Wailuku some twenty-five years ago, being the archi- . in the Training Schools for Hawaiian girls; from 1856 to 1880 his aid was a very large factor in creating and maintaining the Maunaolu Girls' School of Makawao under its various teachers and principals. After repeated destruction of the buildings by fire he gave much personal labor to their reestablishment. The great prosperity and success of that school is owing in a large measure to Mr. Bailey's wise and efficient labors in its behalf. With strength unimpaired by age, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey left their Wailuku home in 1885 and removed to California, where a son was in prosperous occupation. There Mrs. Bailey died in iBt)4. During his remaining years Mr. Bailey spent considerable intervals on Maui, where two sons were living, but continued to make his home with other two It should be especsons in California. ially noted that a very delightful occupation of his old age was that of oil-painting, chiefly of landscapes, an art which he began to cultivate after middle age with much success. Excellent specimens of his handiwork adorn many homes in Hawaii nei. By his five sons Mr. Bailey left a largo number of grandchildren, nearly all adult, and several descendants of the fourth generation. A very sad bereavement was the sudden removal of the fourth son, who was swept from the quarter of a steamer by a breaker on the bar when entering Golden Gate, and seen no more. Three sons in prosperous circumstances survive their father. All who knew Father Bailey number him high among the noble and saintly Christian men who wrought together so successfully under God's wonderful guidance to redeem the Hawaiian people from their ancient low estate. The last of those good men has now passed away ; three aged women still remain, one of them, Mother Parker, lacking little of her century of years with a blessed record of loving piety and cheerful, devout toils. S. E. B. . JOSEPH BALLARD ATHERTON In the death of this esteemed Christian gentleman, which occurred on the evening of April 7th, our Honolulu community was called to mourn the loss of one of its foremost and worthiest citizens, and one whose life and activities had for many years been so closely interwoven with its various interests as to form a prominent element in it. As in the ease of so many men who have exerted a molding influence in the Hawaiian Islands, we go back to New England for the beginning of his career. Mr. Athtect. Mr. Bailey was especially interested erton's ancestors on his father's side were 5 English, and came to New England early in its history. An indication of their character is given in the fact that one of them, who was a Tory, and whose sympathies during the Revolutionary war were with the English, so that he refrained from taking part in the struggle, was yet held in such esteem by his American neighbors that after the war was over he was appointed a selectman in the New Hampshire town in which he lived. Early in the last century Mr. Atherton's father married a young woman of Scotch descent by the name of Eliza Robinson, who became the mother of nine children, of whom Joseph was the youngest. These children all grew to manhood and womanhood, although five of them died between the ages of 21 and 25 years. The only member of this family now living is Mrs. Sarah A. Gilman, the mother of Mr. J. A. Gilman and Miss Carrie A. Gilman, of this city. Mr. Atherton was born in Boston, Mass., November 9, 1837, and received his education there in the public schools. After leaving school he found employment in one of the wholesale commission houses of his native city, and remained in this position until he was forced to leave on account of a failure in health. ()n leaving his work in Boston, he made the long trip around Cape Horn, and in 1859 arrived in Honolulu, where he found a home in the family of Mr. S. N. Castle, and employment in the firm of Castle & Cooke. In this connection he spent the rest of his life, passing successively from the position of clerk to that of partner, and finally, in 1894, to the presidency of the firm. The original members of this firm were Messrs. S. N. Castle and A. S. Cooke, whose children and grandchildren constitute a large aid influential part of the business community in Honolulu today. The firm of Castle & Cooke became interested at an early date in the development of the sugar industry in the Islands, and thus Mr. Atherton naturally came to be closely identified with this business. He took a leading part in the starting and carrying on of several of the most important sugar plantations of the Islands, notably those of Ewa and Waialua. Later also he was one of the organizers and owners of the Bank of Hawai:, and in addition to these enterprises, he was interested in many smaller concerns, and filled important positions in them. The wide outreach of his energy and influence is seen in the fact that when he felt it to be his duty to lay down the burdens that he had carried, he resigned from thirty-nine organizations of different kinds in which he had been, in one way or another, concerned. This wide connection with different enterprise* �6 showed another marked equality in his disposition, namely, his ability to wortwith other men. As one of His neighbors said of him in this regard, he held his own opinions firmly, but he was nevei antagonistic; and for this reason his advice and co-operation were widely sought. None of the organizations, however, to which he belonged were political. While he believed in good government and lent his aid to all right measures, he remained essentially a business man, and took no part in politics beyond that of a faithful citizen. In his family life Mr. Atherton was ever kind and faithful. On June 29, 1865, he married Miss Juliette Montague Cooke, the daughter of one of his early employers in the firm of Castle & Cooke. Six children were born to them, of whom five are still living. These are Charles H. Atherton, now in his father's old firm; Frank C. Atherton, assistant cashier in the Bank of Hawaii; Alexander M. Atherton, a young physician ; Mrs. Mary Atherton Richards, and Miss Kate M. Atherton. The other child, a boy, died at the age of seven years. The home life thus constituted was of the happiest and most wholesome kind. The cares of business were never allowed to intrude; no matter what the anxieties or worries of the office or the market might be, they were not permitted to cast a shadow over the family circle. This was sacred to its members. Here the children were in the closest intimacy with their father, but in no careless or irreverent way. Obedience was required and rendered at the same time that youthful spirits were allowed full freedom of expression. As is usual in such cases, the family life was inspired and guided by Christian example and teaching. Family worship had its place in each day's duties. The children were required to commit to memory portions of Scripture and prepare the lesson for the Sunday school. Nor did the father's interest in the children cease with their childhood. It followed them in later years when they had gone from bom.-. In these absences he wrote a weekly letter to each one. giving all the newsy details of the home and community happenings, so that the child was kept in touch with the home life and its environment even when far away. The religious needs of the community always made a strong appeal to Mr. Atherton, and he identified himself with < hristian work from the beginning of his life here. He was, in all, twenty-one the superintendent of the Fort and Central Union Sunday Schools, and always, when not superintendent, he was a teacher. For this work he made careful preparation during the years Street THE FRIEND week, not leaving it till the last moments. As a member of the church also, he was faithful in attendance upon all its services. He served the two churches above mentioned as treasurer for twenty-two consecutive years. At prayer meeting, which is a test of faithful membership, he was invariably present when at home and in health. In the success of the Young Men's Christian Association, of which he was a charter member, he always took an interest, and helped it by his personal service as well as in other ways. He had served many years as a member of the Hawaiian Hoard, and was its president at the time his last illness came upon him. Through his connection with the Board he was brought into intimate relations with the different branches of its work. Ile was an advisor in the management of the Kohala and Kawaiahao Girls' Seminaries, as well as a large contributor to the work among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. In all this work of the Hawaiian Board he took a broad view. He believed in far-reaching and substantial methods, and, as all the workers under the Board know, he was always ready to listen to suggestions and to study plans mr a w se enlargement of the Board's work. He grasped the situation in its broader aspects, and for this reason was particula Iy helpful to all who sought his advice. These many connections with the religious and charitable institutions of the Islands led to many calls on his .generosity for financial aid. which was given with a free hand. Although possessed of large wealth, Mr. Atherton never used it for ostentatious display, either in his home or in his personal dress or habit.. He spent little for ornament or self-indulgence. He held that his possession of wealth was a stewardship, which he was to discharge for the highest ends. This led him to the belief that a man of wealth should dispense such a portion of it as is to be devoted to benevolence during his lifetime, instead of in legacies after bis death. He acted upon this principle and gave largely—how largely, perhaps few besides himself knew. One of his last acts of benevolence was the cancelling of a debt of the Hawaiian Hoard amounting to about $12,000. This was lone after he was taken ill. Mr. Atherton was not a literary man in the ordinary sense of the term, al■hough he was widely read in certain 'ines pertaining to his business, especially those relating to labor and mone\ oroblems. Hi contributed a characteristic article on"The Future Maintenance if Our Christian Work" to the American Board number of The Fkiknd. H: was a member also of the Social Science Club for many years. The last meeting ' -- of the Club before his illness was held at his house, and he read the paper of the evening. Mr. Atherton's whole life had been shadowed by a hereditary tendency to weakness of the lungs. This resulted last November in several severe hemorrhages, which left him in a very critical condition. He made a slow improvement, however, until some time later he was taken with an attack of the prevalent dengue fever, which, although he survived the attack, left him in a weakened condition, from which he had not the strength to rally, and he passed away on the evening of April 7th. His immediate family were all with him at the end, except his son Alexander, who reached home the next day. A funeral service, at which only the family and relatives were present, was held at the family residence on the afternoon of April Bth, and a public service was held in the Cential Union Church at 3 p. m. on April 9th.' An unusual mark of respect had been shown to Mr. Atherton in the lowering of the flags of all nationalities to halimast—those in the harbor, as well a. those up town. At the hour of the funeral the business houses in town were closed, and work on the plantations of which Mr. Atherton was president was suspended. The church was filled with the prominent people of the city and with many representatives of people from outside. The platform and organ loft were loaded with a profusion of flowers, which had been sent in by sympathizing friends, and many of which were wrought into elaborate and beautiful designs. In the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. \V. D. Westervelt r>flkiated, assisted by Dr. S. E. Bishop and Rev. G. L. Pearson, of the Methodist church. The services were simple and brief, and when they were over many of the friends ard townsmen of the deceased followed the urn to its last resting place in the old historic cemetery on the old Mission premises back of Kawaiahao church. Here it was deposited in the earth and the funeral services brought to a close. We make no attempt to sum up 'he results of Mr. Atherton's life and influence. This is never possible in the life of any gtxnl man ; such influences are too subtle and far-reaching. Hut we may safely say that his influence will be perpetuated and its power more and more felt as the causes for which he lived and which be strove to build up, extend their influence and show their results in char/. L. acter and living. "Truly it is not to those whom God loves most, not to His favorites, that he gives peace, prosperity, affluence, with cold, hard hearts."—Exchange. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. The recent death of Hon. J. H. Athertakes away one of the most persevering as well as one of the most helpful temperance workers in our Islands. He was treasurer and also one of the trustees of the Anti-Saloon League until stricken by his fatal illness. His advice in the executive committee meetings of the League was of great value. Mr. Atherton was identified with many temperance efforts during his life in Hawaii. It seemed to make little difference whether they were transient or not. Ile aided them while they lived. This is one of the best principles upon which to build a life of usefulness. Continued sowing and reaping and sometimes changing the character of the crop makes a farm productive. It is the sum of all the benevolent deeds which makes an eventful life. Mr. Atherton joined the in 1859, in this spirit. The original minutes of this unique society recently came into the writer's hands. It lived only two years. Its pledge allowed its members to stop drinking for six months or for one year. This pledge was to be renewed. The purpose was to encourage some of the poor fellows in Honolulu to make a fight with the hope of ultimate perseverance. Mr. Atherton anel Rev. Dr. Damon joined the society, pledging themselves not to drink intoxicants foi a year. The world needs more of this spirit of patiently aiding in little things. ton D WESTERVELT is working for the majority of his constituents while upholding the liquor. The old story is very much in point. Three young men were seated near a window in a crowded building. They decided that they wanted the winelow open. One of them opened it. Disapprobation was manifest on all sides, and the window was doted. The young rain scattered and began to send notes to the chairman of the meeting asking that this window be opened. The notes were multipled until the chairman announced that owing to the desire of the large majority of the people seated in a certain portion of the hall, he must order a certain window to be opened. No vote was called for —the three men had made themselves a majority. It is one of the rules of human nature that apparent realities ars tfae moat difficult to unveil. Hut just now and here in Hawaii the fears of having the question tested by any fair means is so self-evident that even a bat could see it, let alone a politician who wants to become a member of the next Legislature. The idea of "local option" has come to stay, and will be explained and discusse 1 throughout all these Islands before the next election. Besides the consideration of local option, the Legislature has acted upon what is known as the saloon keepers' bill and also upon the beer bill. The beer bill provided for licensing the sale of malt liquors alone for a license of $250. For some years past licenses have for "light wine, granted been beer, and ale" saloons. This bill was vetoed by Governor Dole because of its lack of restrictions. In the House, on a motion seconded by Jonah Kumalae, the bill was passed at once over the Governor's veto. In the Senate, on first ballot the veto was sustained, but Senator Achi, who voted against the veto, moved a reconsideration and finally won over one member so that the necessary twothirds was secured and the bill passed over the veto. It seems as if Senator. Achi's motion to reconsider was thoroughly illegal, and the epiestion concerning the right of government to issue license could easily arise in any court whenever any lawyer could thereby benefit his case. The status of liquor legislation, now that the Territorial Legislature has closed its session, is rather chaotic. The Local Option Bill was "laid on the table" in the Senate and never reached consideration in the House. This action was taken in the Senate by Senators Achi, Cecil Brown, J. T. Brown, Kaiue, Kalauokalani, and Woods; while Senators Baldwin, Dickey, Isenberg, Paris, and Wilcox favored passing the bill, Senators McCandless and Crabbe not voting. This position in regard to the fairest possible legislation shows that the liquor interests art completely united in their fear of allowing the majority of the voters any opportunity to express themselves by ballot. They claim that the majority of the people want liquor—but they do everything in their power to keep the majority from voting in favor of saloons. This is so evidently inconsistent The liquor bill of the saloon keepers that we wonder how any intelligent member of the Legislature can think he was the result of an effort to meet an 7 issue which many men think was made in the act of Congress by which the Territory of Hawaii was organized. This Organic Act remanded the liquor ques- tion to the Territorial Legislature for proper legislation. Failing tlefinite laws, the Territory would have no right to give licenses. Many prominent lawyers, as well as others, have held that this is a correct interpretation of the Orgaiv.c Act. The Anti-Saloon League even prepared to test the case last fall, but finally decided not to press the matters because the session of the Legislature was not far off. The saloon keepers' bill suffered many vicissitudes. It was fairly well amended in the Senate and then, for some inexplicable reason, was held up in the House day after day. It was not because the majority of the members of the House favored temperance. As a matte-; of fact, it was difficult to get the House to pass any restriction on the sale of intoxicants. The House even passed "the bill for Sabbath breaking"—which was killed in the Senate. Whatever the motive might be. the bill was held up in the House and at last passed after conference by both Senate and House, in the rush of the close of the legislative session —too late to receive the signature of the Governor and become a law. This leaves the question open as to the legality of licensing any saloons. In all legislation concerning liquors, gambling, Sabbath breaking, and the more vicious forms of vice, the two native ministers, Kaili and Oili, stood firm as a rock. These Hawaiians had backbone, even if they couldn't influence the other native Legislators. As a rule, the natives "talked" temperance and voted for the saloon. They injured themselves more than any other people, fjr they could not deceive any one concerning their real character. Due honor should be given to those who stood firm. Mr. Theodore Richards has been studying one of the most beneficial movements of modern courts of justice for the purpose of lessening crime. Juvenile courts are being established, in which the young offender is treateel to a system of probation as well as to a fear of the penalty for wrong doing. The judge in the juvenile court has the right to suspend sentence and compel the chilel to make regular reports, properly certified, in regard to the every day life. The result has been very beneficial in lessing crime and leading to the development of good characters. �THE FRIEND 8 GENERAL COMMENT BY W. L.

For this great good fortune we are indebted principally to Mr. P. L. Weaver, whose indefatigable labor in behalf of the bill has carried it through. This should earn for him the enduring thanks of the community. Time and space prohibit us from so much as touching on the multitude of interesting and excellent changes made in our statute books. Many of them show the hand of our Chief Justice, and are the result of great and untiring work. His name will long be remembered, and the work he has done in framing the laws will have a most lasting effect on the administration of justice among us. Turning from the political to the.commercial side of our life here, we find that we have not yet recovered our former prosperity, and that we are still living in hard times. We have also discovered that we are under the heel of the Sugar Trust, and that for every pounel of sugar sent to the mainland we are being mulcted a half a cent. The only comfort we get, and small comfort it is, lies in the fact that we are in large and good company antl that all the cane sugar producing world is being squeezed even as we. Great quantities of sugar lie at our docks waiting for bottoms, and the price may rise before it reaches its destination. We have every reason to believe, however, that the mighty trust will see to it that such is not the case, and we may expect with confidence that no matter what the price may be between now and then, it will suddenly drop when any large quantity of sugar appears off Delaware Breakwater. The sisal industry is claiming more and more attention and the reports that come from the markets show that the Hawaiian fiber is to have from the first a high rating and a steady demand. More than to any one else, praise is due to Mr. Turner of Sisal, Ewa, for his untiring and persistent labor in introducing the sisal and placing its culture on a sound commercial basis, and the country may yet rise up and call him blessed. We have suffered from a boom7"we are now feeling its results, but the integrity and high moral standing of our business community will yet carny us through and we shall be a happier and, let us hope, a wiser people than when sugar stocks were selling at five times their value and land at a figure which would make the brokers of New York and London blush. �9 THE FRIEND The Vantage Ground of Integrity George McDonald, in the story oi David Elginbrod, has a fine passage in which his hero is made to relate his feelings at the death of his father. Translated out of the broad Scottish dialect in which it is written, it reads as follows: "When my father died I remember well. I was so proud to see him lying there in the cold grandeur of death, and no man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him, that I just gloried in the midst of my tears. He was but a poor old shepherd, with hair as white as the sheep that followed him; and, truly, as they followed him, he followed the Great Shepherd ; and he followed and followed till he just followed him home." The thought of the passage is humble in its setting, but profound in its significance. The old shepherd had found out a lift secret that not only brought him triumphantly through its cares and temptations, but whose nobility and power were reflected back upon his son. Nor is the picture an impossible one. We can all think of lives to which it will, with little or no modification, apply. Still, this would be the exception rather than the rule. How often in our own personal experience are we haunted with the thought that we have not lived up to our best, so that if the truth were spoken of us, it could not be said, "No man dared to say that he ever did or spoke the thing that did not become him." Even in Christian work, with all our multiplied organizations and machinery, how often comes the sense that the something in ourselves, «/hich would give life and vigor to it all, is lacking? Moreover, in too many lives, in all departments of effort, are there open manifestations of failure, so that the words of the novelist gain their force more from the lower side of life which they suggest than from the higher side which they depict. Now in all such feelings and types of life there is weakness revealed. We instinctively feel that such lives are not able to stand the test—that if called to give account of themselves they would fail; and the question is forced upon us, is there any vantage ground which an earnest soul can occupy, and in which it shall be master over the circumstances of its environment? In which, in the loss of all material things, and even of reputation itself, it shall still be secure against final defeat? It is clear at once that if there be sue« a stronghold it lies in the realm of the moral rather than the material. No plan of life that takes in all the facts and gives assurance of final success can be built on life's physical relations alone. Man is a spiritual and immortal being whose very nature is attuned to the principles of righteousness and demands integrity of moral character as a condition of its highest welfare. True success in life attaches to that part which endures. This is not the material. All human experience teaches that men have no teal hold on the material. It is theirs for only a short time at the most, and then is taken from them, and they are ushered into the realm of the spiritual and eternal. It is among these that they find, if at all, the vantage ground from which no power can drive them. This is true because it is in this realm that we find the powers that are omnipotent and immutable; and these powers are on the side of righteousness. This is finely suggested in the exultant ques tion of the Apostle Peter when, after saying that "the eyes of the Lord arc over the righteous and his ears are open into their prayers," he flings out, almost as a challenge, the query, "Who is it that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?" How this brings us back to the old shepherd, who followed his Master, and "followed and followed till he just followed him home." A follower of that which is good. Here is the secret of his victorious life, and here we meet the assurance that behind every life founded on truth and righteousness is the love and omnipotent power of God. To such a life there can be no failure. It moves steadily on through the mutations of material things without disturbance, and faces, at last, the issues of eternity without fear. To be a follower of that which is gocxi is, therefore, to be linked to the power that rules, the power under which righteousness shall ultimateunder which ly triumph, and no soul that has stood firmly for its own integrity will ever suffer loss or have cause to fear. This is an impregnable position. In the case of the one who is conscious of some lack or weakness in himself, there is some test which has not been met, and from which there is a shrinking. In the consciousness of having met the last requirement of the moral nature, there is also the assurance of safety. He who has this consciou.ness knows that his highest interests are secure, no matter what may happen in the sphere of material things. It gives strength to his convictions, and power to his actions. It shifts the goal of life from the realm of the temporary and unstable to that of the immutable and eternal. It thus helps him to see things their real value and in their true relations. The wealth or position which, by one who holds a lower view of life, woule be counted success, to him are but an incident or an added opportunity ant means for a higher service to the world. The checks and failures which arise from the limitations of human power or wisdom, and which the world counts as defeats, are not necessarily so to him. Many times they are the evidence of wise overruling on the part of the powers above him, in the interests of a higher and more beneficent result. It is. clear that one who holds this position, holds a position of high advantage. As a follower of tha which is good, his associations wil be only with those things that are most uplifting and helpful, and in these associations lower anel baser things will more and more lose their power to appeal to him. As he gives to the world and tt God, he will gain for himself. In rea influence, power and self-respect he wil increase as the greatness of his vantage ground is more and more revealed to his own understanding. From this vantage ground, too, personal power and influence can best be exerted on others. The great enterprises and reforms that are to save the world and bring in the better day, must be wrought out by those who occupy this high position. "A thing is never settle* till it is settled right," someone has said clearly this is an inehcation of a latent feeling that men have that integrity must finally prevail and that there must come at last a "new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.' Any position in which the moral integrity is not maintained is weak. One may bolster it up in the guise of respectability, but he cannot save it. Sooner or later it will fail. Whoever sacrifices his integrity in unscrupulous methods of business or over-reaches or oppresses in any way his fellow-men has thrown down his defences and in due time the enemy will carry them. When anyone, from long familiarity with the practices o wicked men around him, has learned to condone their offences and to tolerate them as not so bad after all, he has put his vantage ground in danger. There can be no compromise with evil, or excusing of it. The man who would keep the integrity of his soul must guard it as never an army guarded its fortifiee positions, for every position is weak except the one in which he is completely master. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life " are the words of Old Testament wisdom. at �THE FRIEND 10 "Who is he that will harm you if ye be follower of Jesus Christ, as was George. of the United States Magnetic Station at followers of that which is good," is th.

NOTES FROM THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION Mr. Delaporte, under several dates in January, writes: Several hundred persons more than last year now attend worship. Our church has attained a membership of ninety-eight, and there are many canditlates for baptism. At a service a few days ago we counted all the followers of our work, and found that 974 persons are worshipers at our different stations; 932 people were present at that service. This is a very good showing out of a total population of, say, 1,500. May God save and truly convert these people. At our monthly meeting in August, and at our farewell meeting before leaving for Kusaie, nearly one hundred heathen men, women antl children came and publicly announced that they had forsaken their heathen gods and idols, and that from now on they wantetl to serve and learn about the meek and lowly Nazarene. For two nights, while we were waiting and watching for the steamer, the poor people would not leave us; hundreds of them slept in the schoolhousc and in the mission yard, waiting to give us a final handshake when the steamer should be , t» in sight. The reception the people gave us on our return was equally hearty—so different from the reception we receivetl November 9, 1899, when we first landed. Since our return seventy-six persons have repented and desire baptism. Thus we have a total of perhaps 180 who have forsaken heathenism since last September. We have now three church buildings —one at Oro, another at Ewa, and a third at Meneng, and a chapel at Buata. Another chapel is in course of construction at Anibare. E Babo, the most powerful ghostwoman in the past, was baptized at oit'last communion. This was a signal victory. But two years ago no one would have thought this possible. She has made a good confession; What this meant only the woman herself knows. No more presents, no more power or sway over the people, and, above all, she had to acknowledge before all the people the frauds she had practiccel on them in former tlays. To win such an one for ( hrist gives us encouragement indeed. Three day-schools are still maintained by the mission. Most of the children are very faithful, and cause us little or no trouble. It has been hard work to teach at three different stations, but God gave us the needed strength, and we were * While The glad to do it. Many old people, who otherwise would not have come to our services, have been brought to meeting and led to repentance through the influence of the children who attend school. In order to give some children the same opportunities as at Jaluit, we opened a German school when we came back from Kusaie, of which I took charge. The year 1902 was full of literary work. During the year we translated, printed and bounel the gospels of Matthew and John, and the Epistles to the Galatians, First and Second Timothy and the Three Epistles of John. Besides the above, a little hymn-book containing sixty-six hymns has been prepared. As we had no printing press, we decided to accept Messrs. Channon's and Rife's invitation to come over to Kusaie, 400 miles from here, and have our books printed there. In two months and six days our work there was done. Dr. Rife printed some, while Mr. Channon and the Gilbert Island boys tlid the rest. Mr. Channon also bound 225 copies of the Scriptures and the 500 hymn-books, leaving but 275 of the portions of the New Testament to be bounel at Nauru. We were glad to be able to bring to our people such a valuable Christmas present as these Scriptures and hymn-books are. Last The AMERICAN BOARD (December) NUMBER of THE FRIEND To secure the widest possible recognition of AMERICAN BOARD work in the Islands Send 1 1 in stamps with address to Manager Friend I Lv ioc P. O. Box 489 �THE FRIEND Dr. Rife very kindly let me have a young man to assist us as a teacher fcr a period of three years. The young man and his wife are very bright, and will, I trust, make good workers. We plan that the contributions of the native church will be devoted toward the support of these helpers, and we must be very economical. If any one in the home-land should feel like making a special annual donation towards the expenses of the training and day schools, I am sure that the treasurer of the Pleasant Island Mission, Rev. O. H. Gulick, would forward it to us. Will you not pray that Pleasant Island may be fully won for Christ? There still remains much to be done. The deacon of our church but a few years ago killed several men; another chief wdio lately suffered for Christ's sake was one of the most wicked men on the island. Still another Christian, the chief whom we baptized the other tlay, in the most cold-blooded manner shot and killed a woman, and also tried to kill the infant which she held in her arms. Last Sabbath this same infant, now a young woman, and the man who tried to kill her some years ago, both came for the first time to the Lord's table. Men who only two or three years ago were leaders of the immoral south sea dances are denouncing them today. and would not even think of permitting their children to look on. Men and women who gave their very last possessions to their heathen priests and doctors us. laugh at them now. And yet there arc those who declare that Christian missions are a failure! The people themselves contributed during 1902 something like $140 towards the support of native teachers, training school and church. Not a bad showing, considering the fact that they only get $1.50 for a thousand cocoanuts, and many people have to carry their nuts two or three miles to the next trading l ation. Mrs. Delaporte and I have each of us traveled more than a thousand miles on our bicycles during the past year in going to and from our out-stations and in visiting the people. Mrs. Delaporte, at the time of writing this, and for about two months past, has been far from well. Tf we had the means and opportunity, I would send her for a season to a cool climate to recuperate, although I doubt very much that she could be induced to go. She loves these 1-cople, and I believe it woulel be a sad day for her if she had to leave them. I'.oth our little ones arc well and strong, and give us much joy. At the close of this letter I must most sincerely thank all the friends who have so faithfully helped to maintain this nission with their means and prayers. May our Heavenly Father, in His own time and manner, recompense you all. THE END OF AN UNPLEASANT EPISODE Sidney Casseroles are made of what is known as French fire-proof ware—a heavy poroelain.

Gulick It may not be amiss to make a slight record of an episode that has been far from pleasant. It happened thus. I went with my family to a beach near Imabari in September, 1901, foi ten days' sea bathing, taking with me my kodak. Shortly after using it one day in public a policeman called, informed me that I had broken the laws, as we were then within two miles of a fort, and all such things are proscribed within a radius of seven and a half miles. He wanted to see my views. As they were still undeveloped, I let him take my plates, and they were developed by the police department. Omitting many details, after a preliminary examination I was cited to appear in person at the Matsuyama local court. As the case was perfectly simple I employed no lawyer. The attorney for the State, after describing my crime, asked that I be fined ten yen and have my camera confiscated. I minutes in spoke thirty reply, asserting my innocence. I mentioned the lack of suitable notice boards, the publicity of my carrying my kodak, and of my taking the 13 photographs without receiving a hint from any one of my wrong-doing—although some one went to the neighboring village to inform the police. I pointed out that the police had themselves developed the photos, my act being therefore incomplete, and I also urged the failure of the pictures to show anything except my children in bathing clothes and in a boat with an old pine tree in the back ground. These all proved tuy innocence. If, under the circumstances, the law required my punishment, as 00 crime could be lighter than mine, the penalty should be the lightest allowed. Judgment was pronounced that aftetnoon, namely, the confiscation of only the plates and a fine of five yen. I supposed that would end the matter, but the Procurator appealed on behalf of the State. A month later I was accordingly summoned to appear before the Hiroshima a Court of appeals, where I second time. This time, following ccrtmsel, I had the help of a lawyer, but with no apparent effect; the Prosecuting Attorney asked that the fine be five yen, but that the entire camera be confiscated; I made the same pleas as before, and the lawyer also made his appeal, but the judgment rendered was in accord with the request of the Prosecuting Attorney. In the meantime I had been to Tokyo, seen friends and two or three lawyers, and conferred with the United States Minister, the late Colonel Buck ; they all thought in view of the disabilities attaching to one who had been convicted of a crime, I would better make every effort to have the courts pronounce me innocent. When the second judgment" was rendered I accordingly appealed to the Supreme Court, but without result, the judgment of the Hiroshima court being confirmed. Eight months after the matter was settled in Tokyo I received word from my Hiroshima lawyer saying that the camera would be sold to the highest bidder, and that I might make a bid. I accordingly did so, and have now received word that my bid of five yen was successful. After eighteen months lying in government hands I now get my camera back again, bringing this unpleasant episode to an end. It suggests reflections which may perhaps as well be left unrecorded. But it may not be amiss to note that this law forbidding the taking of all pictures within certain prescribed distances of forts is a law working not only to the serious inconvenience and expense of many wholly unsuspecting and innocent foreigners, but is also a great and absolutely needless burden on countless Japanese who live within the prescribed limits; for they are not allowed to do many things on their own prop- �THE FRIEND 14 erty without military permission. For instance a farmer whose land may be hidden away between two hills whollyinvisible from either sea or fort is liable to a fine if he plots his land, or levels it, or even removes an insignificant shed from one part to another without receiving authority from the military office, which may be miles distant. Not omy is the law a heavy burden on the farming people, and the cause of much ill-will among the innocent traveling public, but it is absolutely useless in accomplishing the end in view, namely, to prevent an enemy from gaining military knowledge of the surroundings of forts.

IN MEMORIAM An Mi-: Day KeILOOG She came to us to take charge of the [apanesc Kindergarten in Honolulu—a frail, lovely girl, with sweet voice and beautiful eyes that brightened with happy merriment or dimmed with tender pity. Her whole heart was in her work, whether she was laughing with the littiv ones in their games, or soothing their cries with her gentle voice; for she loved them when they were merry and gay, am: when they wire fretful and unhappy. No need was too trivial for her sympathy: no little one's hurt too repulsive for the ministering of her hands. After kindergarten hours she- visited the dark homes of her pupils —homes where little of such She gathered sweet light penetrated. the children into Sunday school; shetaught in the Japanese night school; she even found time to study the Japanese language, in order that she might reach the very he-arts of the people whose homes she was visiting. When the time came for her return, although urged to remain, she felt that a daughter's duty called her home. The Japanese showed their deep appreciation of her work at their "Farewell Good-bye Party." where they expressed their gratitude in parting addresses, and in the costly present* which they had brought her. She left our sunny shores, that had made her stronger, but kept in that "inner mind" their beauties, which sin- said would be hers always. Brave and true, we had known her, holding up lit r head, fighting pain with sunny cheerfulness — the flower was too frail! For us in Hawaii she came and went, but only angels can tell of all the brightness left by that sweet, womanly presence. WAIMEA Undoubtedly the district of Waimea, on the Island of Hawaii, is one of the most healthy spots of the entire Territory. On the 2nd day of December, 1829, it was visited by a deputation of the American mission then established in the Islands. This deputation was composed of Messrs. Judd, Green. Andrews and Chamberlain, and their purpose was to explore the country and locate a sanitarium. Three spots were spoken of in their report as worthy of consideration, nanie- ly, Kealii. These Puukapu. Waikoloa and spots were located relatively to the three streams which flow down from the Kohala mountains, and on the 30th of January, iSjO, Dr. Judd and Mr. Ruggles were appointed '"to go to Waiiiua and immediately commence an establish ment." The spot they chose was near the Waikoloa stream, where later the present home of father Lyons was located. In those early days its climate must have been tempered by the forests that covered the Kohala hills and stretched to the eastward down across the \\ aimea plains as far as the I laniakiia forests. We have vivid remembrance of a day spent in 1863 floundering through those forests on our way from Waimca village- to Kuktiihacle. We had to have a guide, the road was so indistinct and difficult and so frequently crossed by cattle trails. Indeed, so hidden was it from the sun by arching trees and giant ferns that it was hardly better than a morass, into which our horses would sometimes sink almost to their saddle girths. The traveler who now passes that way, ."fter passing through the homestead fgion, will find an open plain with only the stumps and roots of the forinei dense forest. For miles upon miles the country is bare of trees and wind-swept. This destruction of the forest is the work of vast herds of cattle that for more than a generation have been pastured there. The only hope for a restoration of these forests is in the homesteader, the winfence and the paddock. What can be done by these is evident to the traveler - pACIFIC HARDWARE CO., Importers and Jobbers Ltd. of GFNERAL MERCHANDISE. Fori Street.
