VOL. LXI
The fortieth anniversary of the Hawaiian Hoard has just passed.
Rev. W. H. Rice lakes charge of the
page on Temperance Issues in the absence of Rev. W. D. Westervelt.
The managing editor is much indebted to Dr. S. E. P.ishop for assistance in
the preparation of the present number
of this paper. It has come as a great
relief in the present busy season.
The fortieth anniversary of Rev. H.
11. Parker as pastor of Kawaiahao
Church comes too late for us to crive it
adequate attention in ibis issue. We
shall give it full mention next month, so
that Mr. Parker's friends abroad who
lead Till. FaiEND may he informed of
the event.
We print on our front cover this
month a picture of the Japanese school
which has been gathered hy Rev. Mr. Okumura during the past few years. It is
a good representation of how educational
and other work naturally spring out of
evangelistic effort, and is prophetic of the
Opportunity that is immediately upon the
Christian people of these Islands to reach
this rising generation of Japanese with
The Hawaiian
Christian education.
Hoard has recently voted to move this
school from its present quarters on Kitkui street to the premises of the North
Pacific Missionary Institute.
We call attention to The Student, the
little magazine published by the Mills
Institute, under the able editorship of
Mr. A. M. Merrill. The June number
is issued in the shape of a catalogue number. Tt contains the names of the teachers and pupils for the past year and gives
the program of daily exercises, and other
facts concerning the school. Mills Institute closed a successful year of work
on June 19th. Already students are applying for admission for next year. Two
of the old teachers, Messrs. Merrill and
Henry, remain, thus insuring a successful
continuance of the work.
The members of Kaumakapili church are to be
congratulated on receivKauTmkhpFileirClaims

fire of January 20, 1900. The full
amount of the award was $46,822. This,
with an additional amount from the sale
of a portion of the church lot. bring! the
total amount now at their disposal up to
nearly $50,000.
This sum of money, if most effectively
used, will enable this church to exert a
strong influence for good among the native population of Honolulu for many
years to come. Its people are widely scattered and naturally gather at three or four
different centers. If, as we suggested
some months ago. the work at these centers is strengthened by a modest outlay
of a part of this money, instead of spending it all in the erection of one large
church building, and the remainder invested for the support of the work, a
prosperous and useful career is easily
within the reach of this organization.

IN EMORIAM
l)i{. George
Pierce Andrews
News of the sudden decease of Dr. Andrews brought to many a home in De-
troit grief as keen and sincere as if some
member of the family circle had been
called away from earth. It is more than
twelve years since the doctor was impelled by impaired health to leave that
city, but the lapse of time has not made
dim the impression which his singularly
modest, sincere and sympathetic personality made on those who were privileged
to know him. Few physicians have been
so beloved by their patients in all si i
tions of life. Few men have so complete
ly commanded the confidence, the esteem
and the admiration of the community at
large.
The life of Dr. Andrews was one of
vicissitude His father. Dr. Seth L. Andrews, was sent out to the Hawaii.!!
Islands by the Ymerican Board, in iK,V>
as mission physician. He was located at
Kailua, Hawaii, where his eldest son,
(ieorge, was born April (). 1838, The lit-,

There were no roads worthy of the name.
Travel was chiefly by canoe.

The hardships of such a life resulted
within ten years in the premature death

or less, an invalid for life, was compelled
to lay down the burden of his missionary
work and with his surviving son, George,
to return to the home land. There can
be no doubt that the privations and hardships the children had suffered in those
years imparted their vitality and shortened their days on earth.
To the ten-year-old boy, America was
at first a world filled with wonders. Ibis described as at this time physically a
delicate child, but wide awake and full
of energy. From his 'mother he had inherited imagination, from his father a
thirst for knowledge of the facts of nature. Old pleasures soon palled with him
he was impatient to extend into new
fields his experiences of the delights of
life. So he was naturally among his companions a leader
at first perhaps in boyish mischief, later, in whatever called for
initiative and enterprise.
As he grew into adolescence it was evident that the motives which influenced
him were invariable those that were
high and noble. While restless in

his search after novelty in the experiences of life, there was absolute constancy of purpose in the pursuit of the finest ideals, and his moral instincts were never at fault in the choice
of those ideals. So it was characteristic
of him that very early in life his heart
was given irrevocably and without reserve to the elect lady who was to be the
sharer with him of whatsoever life might
have in store. So, t(x>, it was characteristic that for him there could be no
thought of any vocation in life other than
that which his father had followed, for
the bond of sympathy and affection between father and son was avers close
one.
The young man expected as a matter of
course- to go to college, and actually entered the freshman class at Yak after fitting at Philips Andover, but he shortly
found the work beyond his endurance.
The requirements of a medical course of
study were not at that time so exatcing,
and accordingly he matriculated in the
Medical Department of the University of
Michigan. He pursued with enthusiasm
a line of study so congennial to his tastes,
and at the age of twenty-three received
his diploma as Doctor of Medicine, from
the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Xew York City.
He returned to his home at Romeo,
Mich., to claim his bride, Miss Sarah
Dyar, and then went direct to Detroit
( May, )86i), to begin the serious business of life. It was during the time of
the Civil War, and a large government
hospital had been established in Detroit
for wounded soldiers. Dr. Andrews received an appointment on the staff jf this
hospital, and thus was ensured active employment while waiting for patients of
his own.
The earlier years of his professional
life were by no means years of idleness
for him. The physicians of the city when
lie came there showed very little ambition
for anything beyond the extending of
their individual business. Dr. Andrews
was one of a very few who had a larger
conception of the obligations demanded
by their profession. Detroit, with its
clinical opportunities seemed to these men
to be the proper place for the Medical
School of the State University. So they
organized a school of medicine which was
to be auxiliary to that at Ann Arbor. That
Dr. Andrews should be chosen to fill Unimportant chair of Principle and Practice of Medicine was a matter of course.
In connection with the Medical School, it
was necessary that a Medical Journal
should grow up, and who so competent
to assume tin- editorship of such a Journal as Dr. Andrews? The State Medical
Society had become defunct throueh inanition. Dr. Andrews was one of the
leaders in the movement to reorganize the
Association, which from that time has remained an active organization. Detroit
had a medical society, but it was doing
nothing to advance the scientific interests
of the profession. Dr. Andrews was
again a leader in forming a new society,
the Detroit Academy of Medicine, which
continues to-day to represent the high
ideals of those who formed it. Again
it was Dr. Andrews who suggested the
building of the Children's Frco Hospital
in Detroit — a philanthropic enterprise
whose wisdom and necessity no one today will question.
Dr. Andrews was a man of remarkable
versatility of talent. He was equally at
home in the hospital ward, on the lecture
nlatform. or in the chemical laboratory.
He could use with the skill of a master
the plane, the trowel, or the soldering
iron, as well as the scalpel, the trephine or
the microscope. He made no pretensions

BRIEF MENTION
Word has come of the arrival of the
missionary schooner Carrie and Annie hi
San Francisco, from Micronesia. Returning passengers from the missionary force
were Miss Wilson, Rev. A. C. Walkup
and the son of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Channon, who comes up for purposes of education in the United States.
A letter from Rev. I. M. Channon of
Kusaie to Dr. Bingham relates the great
difficulties under which Micronesian Mission is now laboring, owing to the lack
of a sufficient force to thoroughly man
the field, and to the inadequacy of the
missionary vessel for a number of years
past to do the necessary touring. Mr.
Channon's health is not good, and altogether the situation is one of great discouragement.
Instead of a special topic for considerlime meeting of the W. C.
T. I", the leader presented a number of
letters which had accumulated during the
ation at the
year and had been crowded out from
month to month.
( )ne of these was from Mrs.
John Waterhouse, who represented the Society at
the World's W. C. T. C. Convention, in
(ieneva, Switzerland. Another was from
Anthony Comstock. who commended the
Honolulu W. C. T. I T as the first one
which had given the 30 per capita asked
for from each Union, in order to perpetuate his work. The Society adjourned

EFFECTS OF
BEER DRINKING
For some years a decided inclination
has been apparent all over the country
to give up the use of whiskey and Other
strong alcohols, using as a substitute beer
and other compounds. This is evidently
founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment: also that bitters may have some
medicinal quality which will neutralize
the alcohol it conceals.
Tucse theories are without confirmation in the observation of physicians. The
use of beer is found to produce a species
of degeneration of-all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished circulation, conditions of congestion
and perversion of functional activities, local inflammations of both the liver and
kidneys are constantly present.
Intellectually, a stupor amounting to almost paralysis, arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into a mere
animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger that
are senseless and brutal.
In appearance the beer-drinker may be
the picture of health, but in reality he is
most incapable of resisting disease. A
slight injury, a severe cold or a shock to
the body or mind will commonly provoke
acute disease, ending fatally. Compared
with inebriates who use different kinds
of alcohol, he is more incurable, and more
generally diseased. The constant use of
D
WESTERVELT
beer every day gives the system no recuperation, but steadily lowers the vital
forces. It is our observation that beer
drinking in this country produces the verylow est kind of inebriety, closely allied to
criminal insanity. The most dangerous
ruffians in our large cities are beer drinkers. Recourse to beer as a substitute for
other forms of alcohol merely increases
the danger and fatality.— Scientific American.
BEER
The claim made by Mr. Kendall, the
national president of the Brewers' Association, and noted in our April issue, that
the brewers had done more for temperance than all other agencies, in the last
ten years, rather set your secretary thinking, and he has been looking into the
matter a little.
Some results of this investigation arc
given below and it would hardly look as
if we could agree with him in his conclusions. If these things show good temperance work", it must take a curious sort
of glasses to disclose it.
For instance, note the famous chemist
whose name is almost a household word,
Baron Liebig, as he writes: "The who'e
purpose of brewing is to get rid of the
blood-forming elements of the grain and
to transmute the useful sugar into alcohol. We can prove with mathematical
certainty that as much flour as can lie on
the point of a table knife is more nutritious than eight quarts of the best Bavarian Peer."
The Court of Appeals, Xew York's
highest court, in a decision by Justice
Welles said: "Xow that ale, beer, porter
and most of the fermented drinks
known in this country can and do
produce intoxication to a greater
or less extent, and that such is
the ordinary effect of their use as a
beverage, no man of mature years can
have failed to observe."
Put this with the following from an address by Dr. Edward C. Mann: '"I think
a person after indulging in wine or beer
for a time feels a growing desire for some
more powerful stimulant."
The Chicago Daily News says:"The
fact is, that the use of beer as a pretended
temperance beverage is a delusion and a
snare. It is the first step to indulgence
in stronger liquors."
Horace Greeley wrote years ago: "The
single glass of wine or beer per day, at
the beginning, will soon be enlarged or
repeated. It was enough to start the blood
into a gallop yesterday, but falls short
to-day, and will not begin to do it tomorrow."
Away back in 1830, England tried the
experiment of "beer temperance."
The London Times said : "The idea entertained was that free trade in beetwould gradually wean men from the
temptations of a regular tavern and would
promote the consumption of a wholesome
national beverage, in place of ardent
spirits. The results of this experiment
did not confirm the expectation of its promoters. The sale of beer was increased,
but the sale of spiritous liquors was not
diminished."
In a later issue we may discuss the
question from the health standpoint, and
see how it bears out its claim."—Connecticut Citizen.
The attention of the New York hospital surgeons has been called to the biu;
number of bartenders that have lost several fingers of both hands within the past
few years. The first case was that of an
employe of a Howery concert hall. Three
of the fingers of his right hand and two
of his left were rotted away when he
called at P.ellevuc one day and begged tin
doctors to explain the reason. He said
duty was to draw beer for the
thousands who visited the garden nightly.
The man was in perfect health otherwise,
and it took the young doctors quite a
time to arrive at any conclusion. Put
they (lid finally, and it nearly took the
heerman's breath away when they did.
"Your fingers have been rotted off,"
they said, "by the beer which you have
handled."
Other cases of a similar nature came
rapidly after this one, and to-day the
physicians estimate there is an army of
employes of saloons whose fingers are
being ruined by the same cause. The
acid and resin in the beer are said to be
t esnonsiblc.
The head bartender of a well known
down-town sakxin says he knows a numlier of cases where beer-drawers have, in
addition to losing several fingers of both
hands, lost th use of both members.
"Peer will rot iron, I believe." he added. "I know, and every bartender
knows, that it is impossible to keen a

COMMENT
BY W. U. WHITNEY
Whether or not we arc to have a perlancnt body of law-makers in Honolulu,
vhose sittings shall be continuous, with
itermissions only for meals, seems still
obe somewhat in doubt. Certain it is,
lat such an unprecedented session as the
resent would lead us so to believe. For
le length of time the session has been
working" and for the amount of fermenation of intellect exhibited, very little of
nything has been accomplished. Three
r four measures have been passed, all
laving to do with appropriations, and
yen some of these have had a hard time
etting by the Governor. Six provisions
1 the general emergency bill were vetoed
v His Excellency. These were all small
rants to private parties, given as sops to
xilitical friends and were rightly thrown
ut by the executive. There is a great
ense of security given to the community
v such acts of the Governor. It demnstrates that little which looks like jobcry or chicanery in our Legislature will
scape his watchful eye.
Court he has at last l>een granted absolute control thereof. The fees received
out of this estate have made more than
one attorney well-to-do, and the actions
of Attorneys A. S. Humphreys and F. E.
Thompson have been called under review
of the Court. At its request the Attorney
General has filed charges against these
two attorneys, and the trial is, as we
write, in progress.
In the Supreme Court of the I Inited
States, the case of the Territory of Hawaii vs. Tanbara Mankichi was, during
this month, decided in favor of the Territory. This case involved the much
vexed question of our "Transition
Period," when, by the Xcwlands Resolution we had become a part of the United
States, but before our present Territorial
government had been settled upon. The
Court holds that the constitution did not
follow the flag, that Hawaiian procedure
was in full force here during this period.
that only those provisions of the constitution applied which Congress had made so
to do. This case folloyvs directly the doctrine of Downes vs. Bid well, which had
to do with Puerto Rico, where this doctrine was first laid down. There were in
this case, four judges dissenting.
Though the Legislature "in session"
has accomplished so little, the courts "in
vacation" have apparently made up therefor. The case before Judge Gear, involving the validity of the County Act, has
heen tried and the decision announced by
His Honor. Unfortunately the matter in Even the District Court has had work

tutionality of the Act as a whole, the de- new law preventing the employment of
cision affecting only one part thereof, minors in saloons was brought into ques-
namely, the Board of Public Supervisors.
This was a body which by the Act was
granted powers in conflict with those of
the present Superintendent of Public
Works: powers which practically render
that office either absolutely unnecessary
or the fattest sinecure in the Territory.
By the decision in this case, the Board of
Public Supervisors was declared illegal
and unconstitutional, but His Honor was
of the opinion that the remainer of the
Act was not affected by the decision.
In the Supreme Court, the notorious
Sumner case was given its final decision.
John K. Sumner, an aged Tahitian. a
man of 82 years, and worth something
over $110,000, by some evil chance fe'l
nto the hands of certain attorneys, who
together with his grandchildren, have
nanaged to get from the old man, 3 very
arge share of said $110,000. The remain
der Sumner has been endeavoring to ob-
tain, and by the decision of the Supreme
tion by the arrest and conviction of E. S.
Cunha for employing minor help. An
•ippeal has been taken, and presumably
it will lie with the Supreme Court to decide as to the validity of this very salutary law.
A very interesting case has arisen in
die Federal Court. A htti of young men,
so rumor has it, have united in an atfempted hold-up of the community, and
'.-specially C. Brewer and Co.. Ltd. These
voting men, under the name of one Fred
Berger, have brought suit to enforce a
c
orfeit of $1000 each against C. Brewer
\nd Co., Ltd., for the importation of 113
Koreans. The contention is that these
Koreans were imported in contravention
if our immigration law, relating both to
he importation of Asiatics and of laborers under contract.
The stake of
* 113,000 is a large one, and a severe
•t niggle will he necessary by either sicLbefore it is won or lost. It seems, nev-
a great shame that our courts
should be used for this species of highbinder performance. However, it is impossible to give every man free standing
in court without allowing some improperly to stand there, for awhile at least.
Activity in the courts is generally supposed to presage activity in money markets. No great change, however, has
been noticed in our own. More than half
a million dollars has been put into circulation here through the payments of
our fire claims, but it has made little difference. Our mortgage indebtedness has
decreased about $10,000, which is surprisingly little when we remember how many
of our Chinese merchants are heavily
mortgaged to banks and money lenders.
The question natuarllv arises, what 13
being done with the money received ? Beyond a doubt it is being hoarded by the
Chinese payees with the intention of removing to China at the first opportunity.
A great and general desire seems to possess the Chinese to remove from these
Islands. It seems as though every man
among them who can do so is selling out
or failing and so forcing settlement with
his creditors and straightway betaking
himself back to the Celestial country.
How much this means to our business
interests can scarce be imagined. The
Chinese are the life of our large whoh sale houses; without them those houses
are bound to be crippled, and without
these wholesale houses we shall not havethat stability as a business community of
which we have always boasted. To feel
the effect of the withdrawal of Chinese
patronage, one need only traverse our
city during the Chinese New Years. Pompeii and Herculaneum seem busy marts
compared to Honolulu then. In the place
of the Chinese store, the small Japanese
shop is appearing everywhere. Whatever may be said to the contrary, the
Chinaman has, by his' stay among us, certainly gained enough education and such
•lesire for comfort that he is no longer
a competitor of the Jap, who can live on
less and cares for less. As yet the Japanese trade with white firms is limited, but
time and education will undoubtedly
make him a consumer of our stuffs and
he will then become more valuable economically to Hawaii.
Whether or not this exodus of Chinese
or some other cause leads thereto, the general business of Honolulu is still in a
stagnant condition. On the Stock Exchange there is nothing at all doing. It is
not uncommon to see what were formerly
considered our best stocks now going
without a bid for days at a time. The
only large undertaking now on foot seems

is hoped that many now finding homes in

The position of Superintendent of Public Works, left vacant, or to be left vacant, by the resignation of Mr. Cooper,
has found many aspirants. Some six
men, of more or less ability, have placed
themselves in the lists, but at the earnest
solicitation of most of the business community, and even of our iconoclastic Legislature, Mr. Cooper is now reconsidering
his resignation, and we have large hopes
that we shall still have his valuable services in that position. The investigation of
Mr. Marston Campbell's conduct in repairing roads which he deemed dangerous

by men with their minds alreadymade up can secure. It is no wonder, therefore, that a committee report, censuring
Mr. Campbell for
his conduct, has been accepted by
the House. But the community at large
has not so done. The conscientious actions of public officials, even though in
minor details perhaps unwise, do not deserve and rarely receive the opprobrium
placed thereon by such men as voted for
the censure resolution.

Wallace infers, that our earth must be
the sole abode of Humanity in the Universe, and that "the supreme end and purpose of this vast universe was the production and development of the 'living
soul' in the perishable body of man" on
this earth.
While treating the eminent and aged
Wallace with the kindest deference, the
astronomers have quite unanimously refuted his reasoning. They point out that
as our Sun is only one among more than
a million solar orbs revealed by the telescope, it is unreasonable to attribute to
it any special advantage as to planets capable of breeding rational souls; multitudes of these visible suns are likely to
be attended by equally favored planets.
Even if our alleged central position were
any advantage, thousands of other stars
are equally central to the Milky Way, and
so have a like advantage.

that the clouds of dark meteorites similarly exceed in number the bright nebulae.
Hence the foggincss of space beyond a

What has Theology or the doctrine of
God to say (in this topic? We believe that
God fills the Universe, however vast, and
that it all is His creation. When astronomy extends our conception of Space, it
enlarges our conception of the Divine immensity. Geology has in like manner extended our conception of past ages to
scores of millions of years; and spectroscopic astronomy is revealing to us vastly
longer aeons of time occupied in the generation, growth, and fading out of suns.
Thus in like manner have become enlarged our conceptions of the Divine

ing, "Before the mountains were brought
forth, or even thou didst form the earth
and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou art God."
But we are also overwhelmed with the
thought of Man's insignificance. "What
is man, that thou are mindful of him, or
the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
Can it be that the Creator and Sustainer
of innumerable planets, inhabited by races
of human souls, cares particularly for this
earth and its people? Yes, it is part of
God's infinity to be infinite in the outreach of His unfailing love and mercy.
We of earth are none the less loved and
compassionated, because innumerable
other races elsewhere are being nurtured
for a glorious immortality.
Thus does Theology reverently adjust
itself to all that Science discloses, and
finds therein enlarged knowledge of God.

patience. The incoming crowds of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese
have added largely to the missionary obligations resting uixin the Christian peo-
pie.
The most difficult problems for solution
relate to the natives of the Islands. Their
churches are at a low spiritual ebb. This
is recognized by no one more than by the
Hawaiian leaders. Is there cause for this
condition? Few people have passed
through greater or more trying changes
during the past fifteen or more years.
Foreign peoples from the East and the
West have in large numbers invaded the
Islands and secured a strong hold ii|x>ii
the business and property interests because of their superior ability, industry
and thrift. The English language is now
compulsory in all the schools of Hawaii.
The children speak it fluently, and when
the next generation shall come to the
front the native language will be largely
of the past. Why should we blame the
people if they have some suspicions and
jealousies in view of these changed conditions? It is evidently a time for the most
careful and faithful work, the wisest
leadership and the most long-continued
patience.

mits of no doubt. The churches arc calling for such. At the present time thereis no theological training, or practically
none. The Evangelical Association must
grapple with the situation at once, not
only as relates to the Hawaiian churches,
but also the churches of other races. The
public schools of the Islands stand well
abreast of those of any of our States or
Territories. There are some most excellent institutions of learning, such as
the Oahu College and the Kaniehamcha
Schools. It is apparent that the present
pastors and leaders of the churches must
get the question of ministerial supply to
the front in their own churches, and
through a deeper spiritual life in the

Hawaiian Poard, has been carried on in
co-operation with the American Board.
It has now only one Hawaiian missonary and his wife in the Gilbert Islands,
and it is probable that he will soon re-
visit his native land, and that he will not
be again sent out. In case he is not, and
no new missionaries are sent out, it would
seem that the time has conic for the Hawaiian Hoard to cease to co-operate
with the American Hoard in the evangelization of the Gilbert Islands."
This would seem all the more evident
from the fact that moreover the Training
School at Kusaie has reached such a maturity and growth that it can contemplate putting its graduates, as it has already begun to do, in the positions vacated by our retiring missionaries, and
the lack of a missionary packet, making
stated yearly tours between this port and
the Gilbert Islands, makes the school at
Kusaie, and not that at Honolulu, the
natural centre for missionary operations.
This is the heritage which, after more
than half a century's participation in the
Micronesian work, we pass over to that
school at its majority. During these
lifty-oiu years this Hoard has sent into
the Micronesian field thirty-one mission

The cordial aloha of the meeting was
likewise extended to Miss Duff, to whom
many references had heen made during
the meeting on account of the marked efficiency of her service. This was the time
for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and the president announced
that owing to the failure of the various
society presidents to respond to the call
for a meeting to make nominations, the
officers had been forced to do it all themselves, and proceeded to each nominate
his or her successor. The nominations
met with favor by the audience, and the
candidates were all unanimously elected.

and 1862 nine Hawaiian missionaries and
their wives were sent out by this Poard to
the Marquesas. After that year, reinforcements ceased. The extension of the
French protectorate over these islands
and the use of the French language in the
schools has been one of the reasons for
the passing of that mission by this Poard
over into the hands of the brethren of
the French Protestant Mission, who have
a centre of operations at Papeete, Tahiti.
The influence of the work done by our
Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia and
the Marquesas has been profound and
far-reaching; it has resulted in the evangelization of multitudes of savage heathen, bringing peace to those who were at
war, and a holy purpose to the lost; it
has prepared a highway for commerce
and marshaled the forces of good against
the evil; it has stimulated and encouraged the great heart of Christendom in
its world-wide missionary operations,
and it has affected the entire Hawaiian
people most benignly, most blessedly, and
this at a cost, it is said, of only about
$112,000.
