DEADLY THING. How will you account for this? It challenges the wonder of the world. What, besides greed, is responsible? It is becoming quite common now-a-days to see articles in the religious papers under this or similar titles. This fact may be taken, we believe, to indicate that there is a very wide-spread belief among spiritually minded people that the present conditions in the religious world are not as 'hey should be and that the remedy for them must come from a higher than merely human source. There is good ground for both of these convictions. There probably never has been a time when humanitarian .and philanthropic effort ha* reached such dimensions as it has at the present. There is no end to the enterprises looking to the relief of the material ills of humanity, and money and personal labor have been put into them without limit. All this is good in its place. But it has tended to become the religion of many people, who feel, or try to feel, that when they have expended their means or themselves in the relief of unfortunate humanity, they have fully met their personal responsibility. The result has been a neglect of the more fundamental duties that people owe to God and their own spiritual natures, as well as to deeper needs of the world. This is a condition not without a cause. Under the new conceptions of life and the world which have been current in recent years, the application to the consciences of men "The Cuming Revival" �THE FRIEND 4 of the primary truths of the Scriptures in regard to sin and human responsibility has not been given as large a place in religious preaching and teaching as the human heart requires. The result is seen in laxity in the lives of Christian people and the difficulty in getting supi>ort for Christian work which calls for personal sacrifice and lacks the elements of larity and the spectacular. This process has gone on till the Chris- tian work) is beginning, under the inspiration, we may ho]x', of the Divine Spirit, to awaken to the fact that the hope of the world is not in new knowledge or in scientific methods of meeting its physical needs, although these are good and have their place, but in the forsaking of sin and the acceptance of Jesus Christ. We believe we may hail the indications of this awakening as a sign that God is stirring in the hearts of his people to prepare them for a gracious visitation of His Spirit. Shall we consider it an indication that God is moving for an outpouring of I lis spirit, that, in common with Christian people An Evangelistic added Work for Hawaii elsewhere, earnest men and women here recognize that this is the only solution for many of our religious and social difficulties? There is certainly nothing to forbid it, although we are not called up »H to speak positively on the matter. A movement, however, which is still in its incipient stages, has been begun here. looking toward a general endeavor to bring to bear in the churches in these islands the means of grace by which a renewed interest in spiritual things might beexpectcd to follow. It is too early \vt to make positive statements. Whether this work will be carried out depends on the settlement of some matters not yet fully considered. It had the endorsement of tlie Ministerial Union at its last meeting in June, and of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and five men were appointed by each of these bodies to act as a committee in full charge, with power to appoint other committees in case it seems l>est to make the attempt. The final decision will soon be reached and full announcement made at the proper time. In regard to this movement we bespeak the earnest prayer and consideration of all Christian people. Remember that these islands have witnessed one of the most wonderful revivals known in the hitsory of the Christian church —a revival by which they were born a Christian nation as in a day. There can be no doubt that they are destined yet to play an important part in the history of God's kingdom in the Pacific Ocean and this point Dr. Gulick's contribution must its neighboring nations.

On anese life. The value of such chapters as to �Moral Practice, Are the Japanese Relig- ious? Some Religious Conceptions, and the Buddhist World View cannot be over stated. In a work covering so wide an extent of territory, it is to be expected that some carelessnesses should have slipped in. It is unfortunate that Dr. Gulick should reiterate the misstatement that witches were burned in New England. Some twenty-four or twenty-five were hanged and one was pressed to death, but none were burned. It is not quite true that "whenever a Japanese man walks out with his wife, which, by the way, is seldom, he invariably steps on ahead, leaving her to follow," inasmuch as the occidental practice has already begun to invade the capital and other of the larger ports, and we have several times seen married couples walking in the streets side by side. That the Emperor had any primary responsibility in granting Japan its constitution, or that he would be able to abrogate it, we greatly doubt. So far as the United States are a criterion of the Occident, it seems to us, after close association with laborers in both lands, that truth demands the emphatic reversion of the following: "The lower and laboring classes of Japan seem to have more visible affection for their children than the same classes in the Occident." Bul these are only minor matters. When one remembers that this careful, painstaking, scholarly volume has not fallen from the pen of a quiet student or a college professor with ample opportunity and facilities for research, hut has heen written bit by hit amid myriads of interruptions by a busy missionary whose time is never his own, whose mind and heart are constantly kept full of personal and administrative details, and whose lot is cast in japan where the demands upon the Christian leader are exhaustive, the wonder is that such a splendid piece of work could have been produced at all. Those who miss references to the files of the Asiatic Society, or to the work of others calculated to enrich the material for such a study as that attempted by Dr. Gulick must remember the limitations upon time and especially upon library resources that hedge in the missionary in a far interior station. Even the leisure necessary for a careful revision of the manuscript before it was sent to press could not be had. Under such conditions to have produced one of the books on lapan of the first order, and that, tr«), in a field making large demands upon special scholarship, is an achievement of no little moment upon which we heartily D. S. congratulate the author. DOES GOD'S LOVE SAVE ALL MEN? It is the worthy claim of the "New Theology" which is so prominent in these days that it magnifies the glorious tenderness of Love which reigns in the heart of the Eternal Father. I' discovers Dim to be the compassionate Father of every soul in existence. He yearns with limitless love over every rational being whom He has created. All are His children. This "New" doctrine goes so fatas to say that no corruption, no debasement, no utter cruelty and vileness of character can ever sink a soul beyond His final reach of reclamation. He will search out every lost soul "until He finds in it." None shall finally perish, not even the foulest embodiment of falsity and malignity, or even Satan himself, if there he such a being. 'Hie Love of God avails ultimately to reclaim every lost child. This interesting and flattering teaching is often known as the "Larger Hope" or the "Eternal Hope." Attractive it ma) he to many minds; but. is it true? Do* s this unlimited extension of the precious and tender attributes of the Divine Beirjg express the whole truth about His character and attributes? Does it duly con sider all the conditions and all the liabilities that exist? To our mind it does not do so. It seems a fatally limited and one-sided conclusion, omitting to observe a vast and portentious clement of evil in the universe to be dealt with and conquered by destruction. Moreover, is such a doctrine justified by the "sure word of prophecy," as recorded in the Xew Testament Scriptures, which give us the teachings of utr Lord and His Apostles 2 "Hack lo Christ." cries this Xew Theology. Hut no apostle is more explicit than was their Master in denouncing perdition, remediless and hopeless ruin as the fate of the unreclaimed and hardened.. Observe His words, "Wide is the gate, and broad the way that lcadeth to destruction, and many there he that go in thereat; hut straight is the gate and narrow the way that lcadeth unto life, and few there lie that find it." Again. "The wicked shall go away into Aeonian punishment," that is the punishment of the eternal state. Again He said: "Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and lxxly in hell." "Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.." The mildest meaning attributable to such words. is that the wicked lost ones are totally consumed and finally perish. So the apostles preached. Wrote Paul of the enemies of the gospel: "Who shall be punished with everlasting dc struction from the presence of the Lord 5 THE FRIEND and from the glory of His power." Such is the uniform testimony of the Xew Testament as to the final fate of the enemies of God. We do not here claim that the misery of the lost has not been exaggerated in the Christian church; nor do we claim that the teaching of the church has not included far too many among the hopelessly lost. The possible saving power of God may have been far too much limited by a narrow teaching. Bui the fact remains that the great Founder of Christianity gave no room for this modern teaching of a Universal Salvation. That is not a Christian doctrine, but a modern invention. We regard it as a misguided sentimentalism, which blindly and one-sidedly overlooks the overwhelming fact thai evil necessarily tends to destruction. The exceeding compassion of the Infinite Father does not extinguish the inevitahleness of that consequence to all those .vho persist in choosing evil and refusing the good. Xor does it overcome the law of the persistence of hardened character, by which inevitable evil-doers pass the line of possible reclamation. Those servants of Christ who would "rightly divide the word of truth;" who would "warn every man in all wisdom." will humbly abstain from setting up their own sentimental theories on this momentous subject. They will humbly an I earnestly consult the teachings of the founders of Christianity which were wholly opposed to such "Larger Hope." Never more than now did tempted and careless men need to be warned that sin leads towards perdition rcnicdylcss and hopeless, from which no compassion of God may be able to rescue them. S. E. B.

After breakfast, examined several schools in Kahana, and married seven couples. Set out about eleven o'clock and stopped at Puna uu and Uauula. and, examined schools and addressed the people, and arrived at I.aiewai before dark, where we took up our hxlging f°r the night. As Kaahumanu was not well and stopped short of this place, the good people took great pains to make me as comfortable as they could : mv bedding, cooking utensils, &c. being left behind. I was gratified to find so much appearance of civilization in this distant part of the island. We found here good houses, many of the people were well dressed, and possessed several foreign articles of comfort. The head man and wife appeared very glad to see me, and spent the evening very pleasantly in conversation. They said they had In en considerably in debt and were much tti mhled, but were now mostly relieved of their burden. I told them it was the best way to pay down when they purchased anything. They readily assenie 1 to it. and said they were before naattpo. (dark heart.) This is a pleasant part oi the island, and belongs to Kekauluohe, for whom our little daughter is named. Feb'y 11 tit. Examined in this place about 170 scholars, conversed with the teachers and addressed the people as usual. Kaahumanu exhorted them to forsake their sins, attend to instruction, obey the word of God, &c, StC. We set out between ten and eleven o'clock and arrived at Kahukti a littl past noon, examined several schools, married three couple, and addressed the people. As Kaahumanu was not very well, we concluded to stop for the night. Baked hogs and poi as usual were brought in abundance. Feb'y 12th. Arrived at Waialee before noon, examined three or four schools and proceeded to Waimea, where we examined two more. Here we found Hewahewa, the former high priest, repeat edly mentioned in the earlier accounts of the mission. Kaahumanu in her address to (he people, pointed to him as the former priest of their lying gods of wood and stone, &c, and exhorted them to turn to the right way, cast off their sins, and obey the word of the God who created . all things. Here I met with Mr. Pierce from Honolulu, the first person I have seen since leaving home, with whom I could con verse in English. We left Waimea about three o'clock and proceeded to Waialua, five miles further, where we had concluded to spend the Sabbath. This is a pleasant place, thickly inhabited and affords a pretty good harbor fir small yessels. It is probably the most favorable place on the island, next to Honolulu, for a missionary station. We met here our good friend and brother, nui, and a few others from Honolulu. Feb'y 13th. Examined 200 scholars in this place. There are more to he examined on Monday. This place presents many advantages for a missionary station. It is easily accessible by water or by land from I lonolulu, distant about thirty miles in a straight course. It is very fertile, and abounds in fresh water. The inhabitants in the immediate vicinity are numerous, and any place on the north side of the island is easily accessible on horseback. I should prefer this as a place of residence before Honolulu. Feb'y 14th, Sabbath. Preached this morning to about 20(X) hearers in' the open air, from Matthew 7:20. and in the afternoon to nearly as many from Luke 12.8-0. There would probably he about the same number usually if a missionary was established here. Feb'y 15th. Examined this morning nearly 200 more scholars in this place, and married eight couples. Set out between ten and eleven o'clock for \\ aianae, taking an inland course, as we could not ride around by the sea shore, leaving Kaahumanu and her attendants to come tomorrow, and meet us ten or twelve miles southeast of this place. We rode about twelve miles and left our horses, and descended a precipice some thousand feet and proceeded six or seven miles further to the sea shore at Waianae. When we reached this place it was dark, and was exceedingly fatigued and hunhad eaterl nothing exgry, as since cept a piece of sweet potato I I in the morning. 1 threw the mats and waited patiently until the good people could provide a little fish and taro. which I ate with a jack knife, using cold water for tea. After supper a prayer was offered by one of the native teachers, and I laid down upon mats spread Upon hoards, but was not able'to yet much rest, as I had very little covering and my bed was exceedingly hard. Feb. 16th. This morning the school assembled and we examined about JOO scholars, addressed the people and praye 1 with them, and after taking a little refreshment, set out on our return. We ascended with much labor the precipice, and soon met Kaahumanu and her company, and took up our lodgings for the night, glad to get a little tea and a comfortable lodging place, Feb'y 17111. A very stormy day, and as we were in a comfortable harbor, Kaahumaiiu concluded not to go out m 'he rain. We must, however, soon remove from this place, or we shall be in want 7 o'clock myself upon of food, as we have aliout ioo persons in our company, and the place where we are is ten or twelve miles inland and very thinly inhabited. Feb. 18th. We put our baggage in order this morning, and set out for the sea shore. After riding about ten miles, pari of the time in the rain, ,ye arrived at I lonouliuli, where we examined several schools and put up for the night, As horses have la.ely heen brought to the islands, no roads have yet been made.

Arrived at Waiawa about noon and examined the sclii ols in '.hat vicinity, and set out for hour.', leaving si me of the teachers to examine a few remaining schools. XigiH overtook us before we reached home, and as the load was very bad, we left our horses, procured lights and after traveling several miles in the mud, arrived at Honolulu .about nine o'clock in the evening, and found Mary and the babe well. Kaahumanu arrived the next morning. During my absence I examined about 40(H) scholars, and man ied twenty-four couples. The Scenery in every part of the island is grand and romantic. The land, except in the mountainous parts, is generally good, and capable of sustaining twentj times the present number of inhabitants. The bouses of the common people are generally poor. They barely afford a shelter from the sun and rain. Their furniture is made up principally of a few calabashes from which they eat and drink, &C, and a few mats, upon which thee sleep. Manx of the common people .are now decently clothed in foreign cloth, others are furnished with la pit or native cloth, which they tie around them or throw over their shoulders. They are beginning to make bonnets and hats of the leaf of the haht tree, by braiding it like straw. They are also beginning to procure many other articles of comfort to which they were formerly strangers. But what is far more interesting to the Christian, they are becoming better and better acquainted with the religion of lestis. Light is pouring into their minds, which, we trust, will greatly elevate them in the scale of intelligent beings, and with the Messing of (Sod, make them wise unto salvation. Eagerness for books and religious instruction is exceedingly great, and we very much need more help to sup- ply the increased demand. �THE FRIEND TEMPERANCE ISSUES Edited by : : : : REV. W. D WESTERVELT The editor of the Temperance page of I'"kii:m> has been in China and Japan during June, July and a part of August. He visited-many of the chief cities of both countries. He docs not remember seeing a saloon outside of the European or foreign quartets. He saw white men under the marked influence of intoxicants, but never a Chinaman or a Japanese.

In order to prove his position correct. In must see that his protoges keep the law. A serious question really arises in connection with the multiplication of beer saloons. Is it safe in a tropical conimttnty to encourage any use of alcohol as a beverage? Our climate and the salt air we breathe combine to create thirst. It seems to he a fact when one looks back over the life of the community tilling these Islands that the beer habit grows into the use of stronger stimulants as a rule, and the tropical thirst demands something stronger than beer to hold it in abeyance. The dangers of increasing beer saloons can easily be seen when the ease of forming an appetite for intoxicants in a tropical country is recognized. In the United States the South was much more inclined to whiskey than the North. I'lils question of beer and thirst should be a vital factor when our government officials try to solve the problem of the welfare of the people.

L. WHITNEY body and the unremitting care of every household. We trust that not only the funds for the prosecution of the work be forthcoming, hut also that that willingness to co-operate be shown which in such undertakings is worth far more than money. This has been a month of political foment. In the Republican Party, practically embracing all the whites together with many natives, caucuses and primaries have been the order of the day. There have been two factions in the field; one led by J. 11. Boyd and T. McCants Stewart, and seeming to represent the "graft" ]x)rtion of our ]K)litics, and the other faction representing the better element. Political enthusiasm has run higher as the primaries approached, hut all through the campaign there has been a most deplorable lack of assistance from the older and richer and more stable men of the community. It is indeed a paradox that the men who have most to gain or lose by a turn in elections, men whose time is their own and wdiosc fortunes ]>ermit, should be the last to come into the field and work for honest, clean and reputable politics. There is no such thing as "staying out of politics," we must live under some government and in a republic we live under that government which we ourselves form. We may shirk our duty to that government, we may stand by and grumble at the work others are accom- plishing, but so long as we live, we shall form an integral part of politics we shall, by our action, cast our influence on the side of righteousness or of iniquity in high places. The most cursory glance at the ranks of the men in the fight will prove our point. Where, in this last campaign were the bankers, the planters, the merchants and the men of money, influence and authority? And yet, on the election of good, honest men in these primaries hung the question of whether we shall or shall not have an honest administration in Honolulu. The elections have come out well and the result has been an absolute and, we trust, final defeat of an organized band of spoilers within the Republican ranks. : The community has had forced Upon its attention this month, the spectacle of the State taking the life of an individual for the crime of robbing that State of another life. Laying aside all sentimentality and all of the super-softness of heart which seems to affect many of our writers, it certainly does seem terrible that a man should be punished more than is necessary to prevent his ever committing the offence again in order that another, for wdiose conduct he is not responsible may be terrified into an ap- prcciation of the enormity of the misdeed. The permanent disbarment of Attorneys Humphreys and Davis and the suspension of Attorney Thompson came as a surprise to most of the community ; but disloyalty to clients and blackmail are not to he winked at, and the Court has done a great and lasting service not only to the bar, but as well to every man under its jurisdiction by declaring with no uncertain voice that the bar shall be as true and as just as justice demands that the bench shall he. The long term of court is now upon us, and again the town is feeling the weight of the unequal burden of jury service it bears. It is a notorious fact that practically all the heavy civil jury work of Hawaii falls on the inhabitants of the capital, and it is small wonder that the two hundred and fifty "good men and true" who, this term, are called to serve as jurors should feel that the burden of the duty is more than they can with equanimity bear. The slow, crude and altogether faulty jury system has been with us for a long time, and doubtless is here to stay, hut society as a whole will welcome the time when some body of men. equal in rank with the bench, shall decide the facts, as the bench does the law. of the ease. No such cumbersome machinery, however, binds the hands of the District Magistrate. He is jury, judge and executing officer, interpreter and, in large measure, clerk. A good all-around man is needed for such a position in Honolulu, and we believe the Governor found such an one in Alexander Lindsay. Jr., who has just been apix>inted to the place. The mosquito campaign, inaugurated last month in earnest by the combined efforts of the Roard of Health and a general citizen movement, is a most hopeful and commendable warfare. The one pest of Hawaii is the mosquito, and any movement which has for its aim the extermination of the species or the amelioration of our condition in this regard should be hailed as a blessing and aided by every man among- us. That great results can he obtained by a systematic and energetic campaign against the mosouito has been proven beyond gainsay. Rut it means the earnest co-operation of every- Business conditions have shown a marked improvement. Our plantations have been more than usually fortunate in securing the advantage of teni]x>rarily high prices on the sugar market, and all branches of business have felt the stimulating results. Sugar stocks and bonds have risen rapidly all along the line, and although we have had no boom we have had a much needed relief from our depression. The project of a sugar refinery on our own shores, which for years has been talked of, was launched this month by Mr. E. L. Lewis of San Francisco. I'ut such fear has the great sugar trust instilled into our merchants that scarce one can be found to favor the undertaking lest thereby we shall bring down upon our heads the wrath of the Trust. That there is good ground for such a feeling we may rest assured, and the men who have the most money in the business are those most likely to understand the situation. One event on the mainland this month has so great and so far-reaching a bearing on Hawaii that we must mention it here. The legislature of Colombia has committed the folly of refusing the American prop' sition of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This seems necessarily to point to a Xicaraguan canal, a change which will be of great com- mercial importance to Hawaii. Nearer to us by mane hundred miles than the other route would have been and bringing the line of travel between the Atlantic states and the Orient directly across our group, it is a foregone conclusion that all ships making the trip will call here as a way port and coaling station. What this means to Hawaii, time alone will tell, but Providence seems to have destined this to be in reality as in name, "The Crossroads of the Pacific."

()n the other hand, when the guilt is present hut the evil is inflicted hy some power than the one whose duty it is 1toother restrain the misdemeanor from which it arose, the suffering is still not penalty. A negro criminal put to death by a mob of lynchers is not punished. He is murdered. He may deserve all he gets, but a mob of lynchers has no authority or rightful power for such a deed. Penalty is evil inflicted only by a rightful authority on the ground of guilt, and, as such, it is an expression of the sense which that authority lias of the hcinotisness of crime. ( ompare this view now with the one that the natutal consequences of sin arcits penalty. In the first place, we note that natural laws are not legal enactments. They (Id not represent the will of the government on moral questions. They simply register the method of ac tion of events that lie in the chain of cause and effect. They lie outside of the realm of free moral action. They carry witbrthem no thought of obligation and their natural result, as we have seen, is inevitable in the case of all alike who obey or disobey them. < >ver against these natural laws are the laws which express the will, purpose and commands of government. The attitud< of a moral being to these latter laws, determines his relation to the governing power. Tf his attitude is one of obedience and regard for the interests which the government cherishes and protects, he will stand in its favor, and receive its approval. If his attitude is one of hostility or disobedience to the laws, he will stand in disfavor and suffer whatever evil the government judges is necessary to protect the interests under its care. These laws, therefore, do not, like natural laws, operate blindly with the same results for all alike, without reference to character. They discriminate between the guilty and the righteous and deal out just awards to each. Xow Cod is tlii- Ruler of the universe. Do these principles Apply in His treatment (,f the sinner? The Scriptures certainly so represent it: "Whosoever comniitteth sin transgressetb also the law. for sin is the transgression of the law." This law is not a natural law, but the general law of obligation under which all moral beings exist and which God upholds as the fundamental law of His universe. Transgression of this law is therefore a sin against God, for which He judges the sinner guilty: and the teaching of the Scriptures is everywhere consistent that �THE FRIEND 10 it is the guilty who are punished, not those who indiscriminately, suffer from the Operation of natural forces. Those who hold to the latter doctrine are fond of quoting the passage in Gal. vi 7, "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap," but this sentence gains its force from the one before it, which makes the whole passage read: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sowelh that shall he also nap." This plainly shows that the reaping is not the results occurring in harmony with some law in nature, hut the inflictions laid upon the sinner by the will and active active operation of God. We may freely grant that the sinner tna\ destroy himself by the violation of the laws of his own being, but the Scriplures plainly teach that the penalty of sin is something more than this—some thing emanating from the will of God The as an expression of His abhorrence of its guilt and wickedness. This biblical teaching is reasonable. Our moral nature, when allowed honest expression, assents to it as just and right. It furnishes no difficulty in the way of forgiveness. The sinner repents and God remits the consequences determined against him by his own will, at the same time leaving natural laws in full operation. As a part of the physical universe, the sinner is always of necessity a subject to these laws. As an erring child of God he is always free to adjust his actions to his Father's will and so merit His approval or condemnation: and whether his final recompense he reward or penalty, it will not In- the result of any blind force, but the act of God, who is the authority whose rightful power it is to deal with his case. /.

BEDUCATION OHTAEIGRMDCN The Missionary Herald for August makes the following statement concerning a recent action of the Prudential (ommittee: The Prudential Committee have set apart the twelve colleges and twelve theological schools for YOUng men, in the various fields where it is conducting its educational opera to tiotu. into a higher educational department, he provided for as far as possible, by funds received specifically for that purpose. Sinethis educational work is so vitally related to every other phase of our evangelizing enterprises, and since it has assumed such wide and distinctive proportions, it seems to the committee and officers of the Board that when these facts are fully known there will be no lack of generous and hearty support. This department, which provides for the higher and theological education of j.sjX choice voting men in Africa. Bulgaria, Ceylon, China. India. Japan, Turkey and Mexico, who are to In the true missionaries and Christian leaders among their own people, and in wheh forty-six American missionaries and t)t trained native Chris tian professors are engaged as directors and teachers, costs the American Board annually $49,000.

Nowhere else ill tile world are so extensive and epoch-making in stitutions maintained at so little cost to their founders Th* people themselves, in all of these countries, make large contributions in the form of tuition, fees, and free-will of fcrings for the support of these schools whose importance they widely recognize.

SRECTOPHAFEYVNGWLISCA N OCIATION This, the fortieth report of its kind, has just been published. It furnishes a com pact and interesting summary of the evangelistic and educational work under the Hawaiian Board, as well as that which has a more or less indirect relation to it. vVe publish below the intra ductory portion and the more general statement on the Hawaiian work: "The most notable event of the year was the withdrawal by the American Board of all financial assistance, and the assumption by this Hoard of the entire responsibility of the work in these islands. A burden of several thousand dollars was thus added to this Hoard. Negotiations have been begun with reference to the transference of all the properties held in these islands in the name of the American Board to a Board of Trustees, to be used in the interest of our work. Conincident with this a visit was made to these islands by Rev. C. 11. Daniels. I). I)., one of the secretaries of the American Board. Conferences were held with him and a clearer understanding yy;is reached of the condition and needs of our work. It is expected that the transfer will soon he made. It was a great pleasure to us all to receive this visit from Dr. and Mrs. Daniels. "The saddest event of the year was the death of Hon. J. P. Atherton, the President of the Board, who passed awayafter a lingering illness. This death is noted elsewhere. Hon. Henry Waterhouse, who for twenty years has heen Vice President, is elected President to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Atherton's death, and Mr. William W.

Any attempt to judge it from other than a Hawaiian point of view would he misleading. If it is to he compared, it must he compared with itself, year with year and period with period. In such comparison, notwithstanding the unprecedented lack of re-enforcement from the theological school, the present state of the yvork docs not suffer. Vacancies in the ministry have been filled by intelligent and zealous laymen who, though they have not had the advantage of direct theological training, have profited by a large experience in Christian work. The condition of certain parishes is decidedly better than during the last decade, yyhile others arc about as they were, and some have lost ground. The gain or loss is not always attributable to the ministry; it is often due to the efforts or indifference of the lav element, though in most instances the pastor is to be held responsible. Sometimes the deterioration of a parish is due to influences over which neither pastor nor people have control. Although during the first troublous years of the last decade, when feeling was so intense and there was so much political agitation, the yearly additions to the churches steadily decreased, dropping to 100 in 1896, it' is encouraging to note that since our political status has been decided, there has been a return of confidence and kindlier feeling, a quickening "lii July, 1902, Mr. Timoteo -gan yvork in Hauula, giving some time towards church repairs. Later he was retained by Kaumakapili church to help pay off a debt. There was also a matter of house repair he felt the need of attending to, after which yvork was begun with good effect in the churches of Waianae and Waialua, and was carried further to the Koolau side of the island to the churches at Waikane and Hauula. As a result of this work a new stimulus was given to the life of these churches, the community was awakened to its duty, abuses were corrected, and accessions were made to the church membership. It is the testimony of Miss Mudge. principal of the Waiahote government school, that much good was done her pupils and to the community generally. "The next field effort was the Puna district, where all the churches were visited, house to house work done, and protracted meetings held. Differences were adjusted and grievances removed. Mr. Waikalai began again his interrupted work at Kamaili and Opihikao, and Mr. Keliipio was established as preacher to the people of the l'uula church, quite a number being added to the communion of each of the churches. The months of April and May and a portion of Junewere given by Mr. Timoteo to the churches on the island of Kauai with likewise satisfactory results. "In most of his tours Mr. Timoteo was accompanied by the Secretary, who gives evangelistic his testimony to the value of Mr. Timoteo's work and would acknowledge him as a skillful and yvisc co-worker, and one who is held in high esteem by those among whom he has labored."
