Here is an enterprise appealing directly to Christians of large resources. We want to capture the Japanese for Christ here in Honolulu. If we mean business we must force the battle at Nuuanu, at l'alama, at Makiki, at Kakaako and at every other center in town where the Japanese congregate. The workers are ready. Are those who have the stuff also ready? If so, send it in to our Treasurer. We desire to call special A Rare attention to a subsequent Opportunity article entitled "Another Gift of Hawaii lo Japan." To complete this remarkable service to that Empire an annual investment of $300 is required. We use the word investment advisedly, because the chief purpose of the new Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo is to furnish approved, welt-equipped evangelists for Hawaii. Mr. Kozaki believes that a force of sixty Japanese evangelists will be required to work effectively the field here. In this estimate we thoroughly agree with him. By co-operating to make this Training School a success, we may expect to receive from three to six newworkers every year until the needs of this Territory are fully met. What a call to God's people this opportunity issues! Who will hear it and send to our Treasurer a check for $300? The- King's business demands haste in this instance. ANOTHER GIFT OF HAWAII TO JAPAN Nothing less than a for 'Training School Christian Workers, combining the advantages of Moody's famous Bible School and the almost equally well known llible Normal College, formerly of Springfield, Mass., and latterly affiliated to that spendidly virile institution, Hartford Theological Seminary.

Kozaki of Japan, whose church in Tokyo is the leading Congregational ( Kumiai) center in the capital of the Empire, were enabled to visit these islands for evangelistic purposes. They returned profoundly impressed with the strategic importance of Hawaii for the evangelization of Japan. By pen and address Mr. Kozaki made his conviction known that the Japanese churches ought to furnish Hawaii with a force of 60 trained, English-speaking workers.. He so succedeed in firing the hearts of his people that offers came from a large pro- portion of the evangelists in connection with the American Hoard's Mission to go to this Territory. These offers could not be considered for a moment. To have listened to them would have crippled the mission most seriously. But Mr. Kozaki had no A Deeper i'lun thought of robbing his country of the services of men already in the work there, lie aimed to create a new supply to meet the necessities of Hawaii. His eye soon took in the wider demand. Large companies of Japanese had emigrated to Formosa, to China, to the Philippines and to our Pacific coast. Among them were Christians. Like the emigrants to Hawaii, all these men were readily susceptible to Christian appeal. There was only onepossible thing to be done—open a Training School for Christian Workers in Tokyo, one of the largest, if not the largest, student center in the world. Get hold of many of these young men for this noble missionary service. Give them a thorough training in English, in the knowledge and use of the Bible, and in practical evangelistic work. „ „ „How Carry Out 4 1 he first . thing« was to se- '" t u co-operation oi Chtistigtl ministers and leaders of experience.

The truth of the case if that several of the controlling spirits in these companies have become Christians, and are members of Mr. Kozaki's church. A new era, therefore, has dawned in the relation of these companies to the men whom they bring to these islands. They aim to help them to lay ti|) money, to save them from drink and vice and gambling, ened. they are maintaining several men here who are studying the conditions on the several plantations with a view to induce worthless laborers to return to Japan.

THE TREASURER'S REPORT The treasurer's rqx>rt is not yet printed, but brief mention of the financial condition of the Hoard will be expected at this time. The following facts will be variously interpreted. To the courageous they will he encouraging and to the down-hearted they will be dispiriting. It may be fairly assumed that the Hoard's supporters belong to the first class, while the rest may enter in at any time. In the first place, there is a debt to start the year with, $3,794.33. That looks bad! Hut it might he worse, was worse last year, when it was as high as $10,356.00 at the beginning of the year. Another thing that looks bad—if bad —is the fact that the income fell $3,-841.81 below the income of the preceding year. Now there are probably some reasons for this, and yet the showing for our givers appears worse when it is stated that one man alone gave $14,000. (me thing to be recorded will be generally regarded as good, viz., that the running expenses of the work were reduced over $10,000. How good this is must be determined by how deep into life of our work tin "cut" was made. It is painful work at the best and yet the Hoard has had to undertake still further the cutting and probing for the year to come. The result will be seen in considerable change in our working force amounting to complete reorganization of the work. The apparent saving to the Hoard in dollars and cents is about $5,-000, but what the real hurt to the body is we cannot vet know. The finances of the Missionary body present a strange problem,—perhaps a complete contradiction in terms.. Business precedents would seem to limit the expenditures to the probable income. Christian faith in Divine resources to carry out His plans — nothing short of makes little universal evangelization account of lack of funds, looking chiefly to needs.

Here have been celebrated the marriages and here have been conducted the funerals of many of the most august personages, the Kings and Queens of the past. On the most of these memorable occasions, Mr. Parker has had the leading part; and this stately building may be styled the Westminster Abbey of this once unique kingdom. The services of the house of Cod, and. pastoral ministration to the needs of a widely spread chinch membership, have tilled .Mr. Parker's life these forty years.

Mr. Kumalae, Mrs. Ai and himself, were the committee on presentations. Mr. Parker, in ackonwledgment of these valued expressions of the love and esteem of many, spoke of how brief a period the past forty years now seemed to be, and acknowledged the invaluable support that he had received in his work from the good men and women of the past, and of the loyal aid given by the present faithful membership of the church, lie s|K>ke first in English and then in the Hawaiian language.

It was part of the great experiment, how to save the bodies of the natives whose souls had begun to awaken. During five years of active life at Wailuku and seventeen at Kaluaaha —for Molokai was then a populous island—Miss Brown taught better living and self-help; and the value of her instruction is not to be measured by the yards of cloth which her girls wove, but by their improvement in character.

The rushes growing on the landward side of the fish ponds, and the seaweed collected there, with a little spice of shellfish, gave a briny smell to the coast, which does not belong to the open sea. A'little more intensity might have made it a bad smell, but it has never become bad to me. We had our daily sea bath ing at the landing, where the bottom was sandy; and our daily visit of inspection to the canoe houses, —old houses with low stone walls and ragged roofs— where the more valuable canoes were swathed in old mats, and mounted on carved stools. Our longer excursions reached to the great Mapulehu valley, which is narrowat the mouth, but expands into an amphitheater; to the Iteiatt near the mouth of this valley, a great oblong pile of rounded stones, with level top and sloping sides, overgrown, even then, with a tangle of vines and bushes; and a trip to Halawa, a wild and verdant valley opening to the northeast, and having a noble stream of cold mountain water. One experience, which was not my own, made a lasting impression on me. The missionary was to hold religious meetings with the people at Kamalo and beyond, and would be gone from home two days. One member of his party was hoped that the attendance will increase. A limited number of scholarships and half-scholarships is provided for worthy and needy pupils. Some of these are for Ilawaiians only, others are reserved for Japanese and Chinese. Those who wish to take advantage of these must apply early. The additions to the teaching force for the coming school year will, it is lielicved, add greatly to the strength and general efficiency of the school, The Pratt system will be continued in the sewing department, which, with the department of music, will be under new teachers. Pupils are wanted for the sewing course, and outside pupils for lessons in music. 'The present hopeful outlook for the future of the school, affords every encouragement for the continued interest and financial aid of those who have hitherto assisted the school, while tin- many and urgent needs which arise as improvements arc contemplated, call loudly for new interest and new contributions. The school is broadening in its scope, reaching out for the girls of the cosmopolitan island population, in this respect filling a sphere not now occupied by manyschools of its kind.

COMMENT BY W. L. WHITNEY ()ur Legislature, which for months has threatened to become a fixture in our niidst, has, we are glad to say, passed into history. It is impossible to summarize their work in this brief review. We have endeavored as the months passed, to give a short account of the way they were working. 'The extra session was devoted almost entirely to the spending of money and. at least on paper, they have managed to get away with twice, almost thrice, our possible income. It is hoped that a bond issue will supply the money necessary to complete the extensive works contemplated by our legislators and such bonds are to be issued shortly.

But no building or addition to the town bids fair to be of such great interest to the public at large as the new aquarium.

As was predicted, more and more interest is being shown in sisal cultivation. A new company is out with its prospectus, which states that the intention of the promoters is to raise the fiber on the windward side of this island. Schemes arc on foot to utilize the entire island of Kahoolawe as well as large tracts on Maui and I lawaii in the same manner.

'The business of the Hawaiian Association at its annual meeting being conducted in an unknown tongue, hid no attractions for these men. They determined not to waste the golden hours and therefore daily in the N'uuanu Street church met to discuss the conditions and demands of their work.

In the cheap places young women of pretty face and buxom form sally forth to show their physical beauties in changing dress (and dress), and with sonc and dance display their activity (and their persons) in more or less wanton fashion. The dialogue parts are usually carried on by men in grot- esquc costumes representing Jews or trisna man and a woman in ordinary dress.

I § �THE FRIEND 12 The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society JUDGE WILLIAM WILCOX LUTHER This ever-youthful man bade his native land adieu on the evening of Sabbath, Jul y I2th, crossing over into the bourne whence none return. He had a few days earlier, on the Bth of July, completed 'fifty years of a very interesting and varied life. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Aimer Wilcox, were missionaries of the \merican Hoard, who came to these islands as teachers, arriving from 808-ton early in the forties. He was born at Waioli. on Kauai, and inherited tin- quaint humor of his father and tlie kindly sparkle of his lovely and loving mother, the combination producing line of the most fascinating characters that our islands have produced. His parents, after about thirty yearn of assiduous missionary service, in infirm health, 'eft, in 1869, for a vist to their fatherland. Hut a week after reaching their native place in Winsted, Connecticut, they both died within an liour of each other. Left an orphan at sixteen and having completed two years of schooling at Lun ahoti, he resolved toat once strike out and make a living for himself. Securing the situation of interpreter, he entered the service of the Government, in which he continued through life. None ever rivaled him as interpreter, either in court or in the legislative hall. The promptness and aptness of his brilliant translations were a feast to any listener who understood perfectly the English and Hawaiian languages. In iB<»7 he was appointed Judge of the police court of Honolulu, a position of great labor and taxing responsibilities. He never appeared weary and seldom failed by his pleasantry and wit to lighten the hearts of all concerned and of interested listeners. The genuine kindness of his heart ever showed itself in playful form, exceedingly unusual in a judge whose office was to restrain evil doers and to deliver the righteous from tinhand of tlie oppressor. 1 le was the just judge, the kind friend. the merry companion and the government officer who could not easily be hood-winked. About ten years ago he was married to a Hawaiian woman of good rep;>r; from the island of Molol<ai.—named Kahuila. His surviving relatives are his widow, Mrs. Kahuila Wilcox, and his brothers, in Winstead, Connecticut; George N., Samuel W. and Albert, Edward residents tary for Hawaii to his other duties, stated that the Churches of the Territory had made a very poor showing, l>ecause many pastors failed to fill out and return the statistical blanks sent them. He emphasized the advantages to be gained by representation in the national organization; it gives us the right to participate in its stimulating councils, and that it is important that our statistics should be as ac- on Kauai. The three last named were notified of their brother's serious illness in season to be at his bedside ere he died.

It is neither unwise, nor unkind to ask the question, if thereby some good can come out of it for the future. (living all the credit for commendable points, there was some thing the matter with it, wasn't there? There was the extreme heat; that was no one's fault, surely. By the way, we wonder whether it was warm at the great Denver C. E. convention. If i*. was (not altogether improbable) do you think there would lie a very great interference witli tlie attendance? We trow not. As to our singing. We wish something might he said commendatory. Yes, the few that were there sang as best they might, perhaps. But the absent voices were very weak. Next time, let's have a good choir, if we don't have anything else in the house. That, by the way, is a fine ideal for a church choir,—every one in the congregation a member of it: no unheard of minute expressing grateful thanks. It was voted that next year there be a return to •■ The Next Meeting tIR of hay . ing rqxirts from the four island Associations, and the invitation from the churches of Lihue.
