The summer vacation is again near at

This might be expected front their relatively superior person*] character. But
in fact, they form probably less than
one-fourth of the whole number of our
wealthy men. The other three-fourths
are men who hold no special relation to
missionary circles or their work.
As a rule, our "missionary" capitalists
hold their wealth for the public good,
munificently applying it without ostentation to the great variety of beneficent
work which here so loudly calls for
their aid. We heartily pray that all of
our capitalists may invest largely in

city of Honolulu, suggesting its important growth. Perhaps the heaviest call
is for enlarged waterworks. An old
scheme has been revived to meet the
need, by constructing a large reservoir
in upper Xuuanu to impound the storm
waters, which mainly run to waste. It
is expected that by means of several
hundred feet of fall from that reservoir,
electric power can be secured of not
less than 700 horse power. This advantage may preponderate against what
many have believed to be the preferable plan of establishing more pumping
stations from artesian wells, which yield
an cxhaustless supply of perfectly pure
water. In any case, there seems propable an early enlargement of our city
water supply.
Another equally needed, and perhaps
more costly line of improvement is
that of deepening our harbor and
enlarging our dock room. The deepest
ships we can now accommodate draw
thirty feet and those only in very limited
sections of the harbor, while the depth
of only thirty feet in the harbor channel
forbids such strips crossing the bar in
bad weather. Hut such a limitation will
not answer if Honolulu is to entertain
the large ships now preparing to cross
the Pacific. Very extensive and costly
plans are already in progress for deepening the whole area of the harbor to
thirty feet, while the passage and other
portions shall go down to perhaps
thirty-five feet. With this are plans,
perhaps not yet fully developed, of excavating- two or more immense docks
capable of holding the largest steamers

�THE FRIEND
Such is the natural prospect for only
a few years ahead. We are to prepare
for a wonderful growth commercially
and in all material progress. May it also
prove that the needed moral growth
shall not be lacking! It will not be if
spiritual needs are supplied, through
which man's nigral nature is fed.

Three of this third generation of the

been founded in l<>42.
Being a pastor of a large church in the
vicinity of Boston, the very head'centre
of Congregationalism, he was called to
fill many positions of trust and responsibility, some of which were the following:
He was a Trustee of the Woburii fret
library; a member of the Executive
Hoard of the Massachusetts Home Missionary Society, which was in fact a
foreign missionary society before the
American Hoard was organized, and was
really the mother of the Congregational
Home Missionary Society; he was one
of the Hoard of Directors of the Congregational House in Boston; and was also
one of the managers of the Congregational library whose headquarters is in
the Congregational building: and for
some years was a member of the Labor
Committee of the State Association of
Massachusetts, which had much to do
with the securing of a Sunday rest for
laborers, safe-guarding the laborers'
Sunday.

Autumn of 1901 from the Hawaiian

o'clock. Found the schools assembled for

after taking a little refreshment, prepared
to pursue our way. Our company now
consisted of Kaahuinanii, in a small cart,
drawn by a mule, with several female attendants, and a numerous train of servants loaded with baggage, such as
cloth< s. bedding, food, cooking utensils,
etc.. etc., of myself, and six or eight native teachers on horseback. Several of
the female attendants of the Queen rode
on horseback. As I have but one attendant, one or two more were assigned me
to take care of my horse, and assist in
carrying my baggage. After riding a few
miles, some of the time through water up
to the pads of our saddles, we stopped
taking
to examine a school, and after
food, and drinking water from silver goblets, in a small grass hut, pursued our
course along a large fishpond, through
tall grass up to our horses' backs. Uefore
we arrived at our lodging place we were
obliged to lead our horses up a Steep,
rough hill. The Queen's cart was carried
up by hand. We arrived about dark at a
few small, miserable houses near the seashore. One of them was soon made
empty lor her ladyship and myself. < hit
field bedsteads were soon prepared, and
partitions were made by hanging up cloth,
and after taking a cup of tea, singing a
hymn, and commending ourselves to the
care of our Heavenly Father, we laid
down to rest. We arose in the morning
much refreshed. Kaahumanu inquired
if I slept warm, and on learning that I
did not, she charged me in future to call
upon her for more clothes, as she could
easily furnish them. After breakfast and
prayers, we pursued our way over a
rough road, leading our horsey, which
were unshod, over a footpath made by
laving down loosely, large, rough stones.
We soon arrived at a steep precipice. 1
gave up my horse and made my way
down. The horses were led round another way, but down a very steep, rough
precipice. All hough unshod, they received no injury. Kaahumanu went by

found two houses neatly prepared for our

provided for at this place, Kaahumanu
concluded to spend the Sabbath here.
After breakfast I rode across the extefl
sive plain of Kailtia, and ascended a high
hill opposite the precipice of Kootau, described by Mr. Stewart. This hill afforded a view of all this part of the island.
The prospect was truly romantic. <)n the
north, rolled the waters of the Pacific; on
the south, a precipice many thousand feet
high, extended from east to west as tar
as the eye could reach. <)n the west was
Kaneobe, an extensive tract of low land,
intet'-.persed with numerous cottage's. On
the east was the extensive plain of Kailua, partly intersected by a stream of
water and one or two ponds, and bordered
by clusters of house's. From this place'
the eastern bluff of the island was distinctly visible. The prospect presented
numerous mountains running in different directions, and separated by deep ravines. I descended from the high summit where I stood, not without some difficulty, as I was obliged to hold on by
the grass to keep from falling. I arrived
about noon at my lodging place, and
found a man about to cross the precipice
of Koolau to Honolulu, and embraced the
opportunity to write to Mary.
In the afternoon we examined nearly
200 scholars, talked to them, eve. Kaahumanu expects the -M-onle wherever we
stop to attend to instruction and to the
word of God, to cast off their old ways
and turn to the new, to have nothing to
do with the Jesuits, hut to attend to the
instruction of the teacher who is with her,
and his associates. She takes great pains
to anticipate my wants, to provide me
with good food, eVc. As my horse was a
small hard-going one, she assigned me a
much better one, which carries me as easy
as any horse 1 ever rode.
Feb y 7th. Sabbath evening. This has
been a pleasant Sabbath. The weather is
exceedingly fine and everything around
seems to proclaim the goodness of the
Creator. I have preached twice in the
open air to 1500 or 2000 hearers, who listened with attention to the words of eternal life. After the second service was
concluded, two persons were united in
marriage. I have seldom spent a Sabbath more to my satisfaction, although 1

TEMPERANCE ISSUES

REV. W. D WESTERVELT
The Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu
has published several important pamphlets, which are ready for free distribution. The W. C. T, V., through its president, Mrs. J. M. Whitney, has also sent
out a very important addition to the temperance literature of the islands. These
pamphlets are usually in English, al-
though two have been translated into Hawaiian. The Japanese have a paper published by Rev. T. Okuniura, which lends
its influence powerfully in the cause of
temperance. The Japanese have the largest temperance society in the Territory.
suffered little change, owing to the failure of the Legislature of 1903 to secure
the passage of proposed hills, except in
regard to the manufacture and sale of
malt liquors.
These laws were in force before annexation. The Organic Act touched the
question of the sale of liquors in a rather
indefinite manner, leaving strong doubt
in the minds of many persons as to the
real status of any saltions, except as laws
should be passed subsequent to the Organic Act. It is thought that no saloons,
except those handling malt liquors, would
have to pay license, if the case came
before the Supreme Court for decision.
Until that question is decided, however,
the past laws are treated as the final authority, and their compilation is of great
value.
This summary of Liquor Laws, fairly
well indexed, is for free distribution from
the Anti-Saloon League headquarters,
No. 5 Mclntyre building. It would be
aelvisahle for those interested to take
their copies and mark the laws which arc
frequently broken, and thus have an easy
and quick method of reference.

ten per cent, alcoholic strength." (2) No
sale of even malt liquors can be made "to
any person in a state of intoxication or to
minors." Nor are minors to be allowed
on the premises. (3) Nor can any such
saloon be located "within 150 feet of the
premises used as a school or church and
occupied and used as such." The word
"premises" means not only the room
wherein the bar is placed, but the entire
place covered by the license. It is thoroughly against the law to permit children
to enter the doors of the saloon, and certainly there can be no question of violation eif law when a child or large boy,
under age, enters and returns with a pail
of foaming beer. It does not seem to be at
all necessary to prove that the child purchased the beer. The only fact requiring
proof is that the child was allowed to
enter and take the liquor. Section 5 of
Act 24, states the penalty of the violation
of this law as follows:
"Section 5. Upon the conviction of

GENERAL COMMENT
BY W. L. WHITNEY
Ithardly seemed possible and not at all
probable that we should find the Legislature with us at the end of this month.
Hut each day We read that the session is
dragging on and doing little or nothing,
and still the long looked for "understand"ing" between the two houses has not been
reached. The Legislature is sunnosed to
be at work on the appropriation bill, that
is all. and only the appropriations for the
next six months are under discussion;
hut either because they fear that in that
brief period they cannot spe'iid sufficient
money, or for some other reason, more
than usual trouble is found in agreeing
on the amounts. The emergency bill has
been passed and approved, however, and
we are promised that it will not be long
before the regular appropriation hill will
go to the governor for his approval,
Meanwhile business conditions remain
unchanged. By some it is thought that
there is a better feeling among business
nun, that the financial outlook is better
than it has been. C (thers seem hopless of
any immediate change for the better.
From an era of large extravagances in
the formation and erection of new sugar
plantations and of free-handed expenditure by the older companies, we have
swung to the other extreme, as is well
shown by the action of one of our best
companies in paying off its bonds. Only
extreme and, it would seem to outsiders,
unreasonable caution would dictate a
policy of paying off bondholders who do
not want to be paid, with money which
hundreds of stockholders are clamoring
to he' paid as dividends. That a company with a capital stock of $5,000,000,
and on a dividend paying basis, should,
in a year of extreme depression, at one
swoop clear off a fifth of its bonded indebtedness, is, to say the least, remarkable. But it shows the state of mind of
of our business community, and so long
as this feeling exists, money is not going
to circulate freely or trade revive to any

The morning paper is correct in all its
says of our need of him, and from a purely selfish point of view we hope that
someone will take it seriously and come
this way. Hut much as we need him, the

evaded by merger or consolidation. Jusl
now, however, there is much doubt among
lawyers whether under the derision in the
now famous

on
the mainland such consolidatiorCwill be
possible. Meanwhile, the merger of Ihe
Brewer plantations, that is, those plantations for whom C. Brewer and Coin
pany, Limited, is agent, seems to have
fallen through. No great enthusiasm
was shown .in the movement even at its
inception, and many things seem to point
to the wisdom of not for the immediate
present undertaking the proposition. It
has seemed inevitable that those plantations which were most nearly connected
should, in this age of consolidation, unite.
Such action has been delayed here probably longer than in any other place when1
so much money was invested in the same'
industry within so small an area. Tin
fact, however, is that the greatest cause
leading others to unite', namely, the
fierce- strife amounting to a cut-throat
strugle for existence, which generally
characterizes the competition between
large and moneyed corporations, has been
lacking in Hawaii. In our business life
here we have been one large family, and
most of our moneyed men have' been interested in many, rather than in a single
one, of our sugar plantations.
It is as
interesting as it is astonishing to glance
through the lists of stockholders of our
various plantations and see not only what
numbers of shareholders there are to each
company, but also how the same names
appear on almost every list. It speaks
well, too, for the general integrity of the
management that the people are willing to
put their money into so many plantations,
of most of which they can know nothing
personally. So long as this condition exists, there will be little need of, and probably as little, merger consolidation or
monopolization of sugar interests in Hawaii.

A LETTER FROM REV. WM. H.
GULICK
The following interesting letter from
Gulick of Spain, has recently been received by Mrs. R. W. Andrews, Secretary of the Mission Children's Society. She kindly allows us to
print it:
Biarritz, France, 7th May, 11)03.
Mrs. R. W. Andrews,
Secretary H. M. C. Society,
Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.
My dear Mrs. Andrews:
Only at a venture I write now, knowing that there is but small likelihood that
this will reach you in time for the Annual Report in May (?) or June. I have
been so busy and so much away from
home since the new year that the time
has speed away without one's realizing
how fast.

from San Sebastian. We had hoped
that we would not be obliged to make
any change until we were ready to take
the Institute for Ciirls to Madrid, but the
commodious house that we had occupied
for so long a time was sold over our
beads anil finite suddenly WC were oh
liged to move.
We found a house' well located, not so
large as we needed but with a line and
spacious garden in the rear. A large
part of the furniture and books that had
been brought from San Sebastian was
packed anil sent to Madrid to be held
there in storage until we should arrive
there. By a division of labor, the pack-
ing and noting of contents and shipping
of over three hundred parcels large and
small was performed by Mrs. Culick and
her aids, while others continued with the
care of the pupils and the classes, so thai
there was very little if am interruption
in the school life and duties. It was a
great task, and tested severely the'
strength of all, but we were thankful
that Providence had provided us with so
good a temporary home. Especially do
the girls enjoy the- spacious and beautiful garden.
This house however is taken only until
the summer season, when the landlady
will nearly double the rental. We there-
fore will close the' school the middle of
to their homes.
Eighteen of them will go to Madrid to
pass the examinations in the Government
Institute ami the rest will go immediately home.
As some of you perhaps know, we
have bought in Madrid a very desirable'
lot that had on it an old house. This
building is being enlarged and altered
for the school uses, but is not large'
enough to receive the thirtv-fivc or forty
pupils. It is therefore the plan that
when the girls gather atrain for the new
school year, in (October, they shall occupy hired premises near Madrid until
such time as the new and larger building
shall he completed, and the inauguration
of the school in Madrid proper will not
be attempted until it can be done with a
measure of completeness. Meanwhile
the' old building, reformed, will be used
for a limited number engaged in Special
work.
In the course' of the development of
this educational project for young women in Spain we have been encouraged
by the warm expression of interest on
the pail of influential Spanish scholars
and educators, some of whom are members of the Parliament, and by newfriendships formed in influential circles.
This is cause of great thankfulness on
our part, and among other things is a
promise of an enlarged influence and
usefulness of the Institute.
The work among our several statiops
June, sending the girls
in the north of Spain, to which the
larger part of my time and strength is
given, is increasingly prosperous. It is
a distinctively evangelistic work, but,
thirty odd wars' experience in this field
has demonstrated the efficacy as an evan-
gelistic agency of a vigorous educational
department connected with each and all
of the stations.
In these mission schools, nine-tenths
of the pupils iii which are from Roman
Catholic families, the Bible is a prominent text book, and is studied daily. For
several years our common school iii Sanlander, where Mrs. tiulick, and I were
first located, and where we lived for
twelve yean, has had not less than three
hundred pupils and has been the largest
individual school in the city. For a long
time it has been frankly counted by the
authorities and the community as one of
the' "public institutions."
In the "Festival of Trees," or "arbor
day," held the first week of last April,
we easily took the lead in the schoolparade, in the number of children, the
neatness of their dress and in steadiness
and precision in inarching and in excellence of singing. A certain reactionary
element in the community protested
against giving our children place in the
procession, but there was such an outburst of indignant remonstrance against
such an act of injustice that those of the
authorities who would have wished to
exclude us simply did not dare to do so.
This is but one of many proofs of the
strong hold that evangelical thought,
teaching and practice has secured in
inaii\ communities in Spain, and the
genuine sympathy that exists towards
us and our methods in the minds of
many Catholics who are observing us.
Mrs. Gulick, who has carried on for
several years the great work of developing the plan of the International Instiute for Cirls in Spain, while suffering, at
times acutely from chronic ill health,
is for a few weeks taking a course of
were full of hope, and confident of a
great success in Americanizing the
schools, the language and the sentiments
of those people. One of our most ex-
perienced teachers of Hawaiian youth,
Mr. Townsend, followed that army of
educators, and was assigned to a superintendency of their work on the large
island of Mindanao.
( )f the actual experiences of that sanguine and zealous host of instructors,
after entering upon their task, we have
received very little information. It has
not been reported that they were meeting with any marked success in their,
work It has been said that those who
opened schools in the rural districts encountered great obstacles and often endured se'vene' hardship, all of which was to
be expected by pioneers of educational
work among semi-civilized tribes. Hut
of definite reports from them all, there
has been a lack, which is not encouraging to the ardent hopes which attended
their advent.
Quite lately very adverse reports have
been coming, as of a very general failure in the expected work of these teachers in imparting a useful knowledge of
the English languge to the youth of the
country. It is also said that the American teachers continue utterly ignorant

of the Spanish which is the current language of civilization, as well as of the
vernacular tongues, such as Tagalog
and Yisayan, which are the'speech of the
common people, the result being that the
pupils make little actual progress in any
knowledge whatever. With all allowance fe>r exaggeration and for indefinite
statements, it seems probable that except perhaps in city schools, such failure
may actually be the fact.
Teachers experienced in imparting a
knowledge of English to Hawaiians felt
at the outset that the hope of success in
that Filipino work was rather visionary.
Progress in the use of English by Hawaians in the rural districts used to be
extremely slow and painful. It became
successful only in the towns where there
was constant contact with Englishspeaking people, and colloquial use of
the language became natural. A language cannot be taught from books
alone, it requires colloquial use. A foreign language cannot possibly be made
an efficient medium for imparting knowledge until the pupil learns both to speak
and understand it vocally to a considerable degree. This the Hawaiian youth
in the rural schools have now become
somewhat able to do, and a good deal of
instruction from English school books is
now given them with success, especially
by teachers who know at least some-
thing of the vernacular. But the teaching of a strange language to ignorant
pupils is itself a peculiar art, and imparting knowledge to them through such
a medium requires peculiar ability.
Americans are a people ready to learn
by experience. (hit of the rather large
and costly experiment of introducing
American education to the Filipinos they
will probably have gained much valuable
and useful experience. (rood fruit may
be hoped from it, in the creation in the
cities of many important and successful
schools, where the more capable youth
may be brought into touch with American thought and civilization. As to the
creation of any common use of English
by the people at large, we regard that as
quite a visionary hope, It is our belie!
that a system of common schools taught
in the vernacular tongue of the people,
should be immediately begun and developed as rapidly as possible. To aid
in such a work would be a grand field
for the exertions of devoted Christian
missionaries of all denominations, And
no more effective way of evangelizing
the ignorant exists than by imparting
religious instruction to youth in their
mother tongues.
Probably it will long continue an interesting study of how the Divine Providence will lead and move human efforls
in the enlightenment of the Philippines
and in the development there of a truly
Christian civilization. Luzon will lead:
Mindinanao may follow, getting tight
from Luzon.
