( )ne No. 10 of the Japanese consuls, who made an extended tour of observation to many, if not to all of our Hawaiian sugar plantations, volunteered the statement that on those plantations upon which Christian evangelists were located, there he found his countrymen living under more favorable conditions than upon the plantations destitute of such teachers. On the 4th of last October, Mr. K. Ishida, who had completed three years of faithful work at Lihue, Kauai, took to himself a wife, and soon after with, his voiing bride left for San Francisco and Oberlin, at which later place he has been fitting himself for further work in the gospel ministry. Fortunately we were able promptly to place in the vacant field, Mr. J. Fukuda who has been faithfully at work there the past year. Just a year ago, Rev. H. Kozaki, once the president of the Doshisha University, of Kyoto, and now perhaps the most prominent of the Christian pastors of the capital city of Tokyo, completing his two months' visit to these Islands, and to all our Japanese mission stations, except the two on Kauai, took steamer with his wife for return to Japan. Six days before Mr. Kozaki sailed away, there arrived under the auspices of our Hoard, Rev. and Mrs. S. ()kubo, Christian workers of several years' experience in their native land. Under the stimulation of Mr. Kozaki's lead, the members of the Nuuanu street Japanese Congregational church, made a brave resolve to become a self-supporting church, calling Mr. Okubo to become their pastor, and pledging themselves for his support, and also for the funds required for running expenses. With the cordial approval of the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Okubo was released from his connection with the body who had met the most of the expenses of himself and wife in reaching Honolulu, and promptly enter upon the active duties of the pastorate. The formality of a regular installation has not yet taken place, and acknowledgement of ecclesiastical relationship to any body of Christians has not yet been made, but should not long be deferred. By the calling of a pastor, Mr. Okuniura who for nine years had been the efficient and successful leader of this first Japanese Congregational church, was released for other service. Under his lead a flourishing work has been established �THE FRIEND 4 among the Japanese living in the Makiki division of our fast expanding city. A chapel service has also within the year been organized under the hand of Rev. S. Kodama in the newly developing portion of our city lying S. E. of the entrance to the harbor, called Kakaako, where a very mixed population are jostling each other and of which the Japanese constitute a large element. Here in a swarming hive of humanity, where on almost every corner our paternal government has |>ermitted the opening of a liquor saloon, our faithful preacher is lifting up his voice declaring to men the pathway of life. Here the fountains of life and of death spring side by side. In February, Mr. and Mrs. N. Washiyama arrived for evangelistic work, and in March entered upon the Kohala field, which had lain unoccupied for eleven months, to our great loss. In Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Miss Koka, and other Christian friends in Kohala, the Washiyamas find most cordial and sympathetic helpers. The hope of the future lies in the children now coming on. At many points we find that a large portion of the pupils in the public schools are Japanese children. Our evangelists are thoroughly awake to the importance of reaching the children. The two flourishing hoarding schools for Japanese children at I lonoltilu and Honomu attest the estimate of our Japanese helpers to the importance of this work, and also the eagerness of the loving parents that their children should he surrounded with good influences and continued in touch with their own people and in acquaintance with their mother tongue. The influence for good of these two Christian hoarding schools with their 150 scholars, is inestimable. This gospel influence reaches not the children alone, but the parents and the whole surrounding community. Rev. D. Scudder, D.D., and Mrs. Scttdder after a year of preparation in Japan arrived May Bth, and entered at once upon work for our Japanese community. During his sojourn in Honolulu, Dr. Scudder has met many of those Japanese for whom he brought messages of love and remembrance from kindred in Japan. In .pursuance of this scheme of entering Japanese hearts by bringing to them messages from distant loved ones, Dr. Scudder has visited Maui and touched at Kohala, Hawaii. Regarding this kind of service the philosopher poet has said, "As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." The success and fruitage of such a work of patience and love is assured.

First, what do they teach us as to kahunaism? We find it still a power in the land, yet I affirm my belief that its power has been much broken and that it is no longer such a menace to the life of the Hawaiian as it was a decade and a half ago. I remember how it surprised and startled me on my arrival in the field in 1889. I could not believe at first what was found to be true, that it lay like a pall on the entire native Christian community, that pastors as well as people were affected by it, that it dominated the church as well as the court, and that the most progressive men and women of the Hawaiian churches felt appalled by the outreach of it's activity. What was said of it by those who knew was hardly credited, so insidious and so secret were it's operations, and it was only by persistence that the churches were finally brought to action. At the annual meeting of the Hawaiian F.vangelical Association held in June, 1889, a committee was appointed to enquire into "the corrupt practices which vitiate our Christian life." This committee, of which Chief Justice Jtidd was chairman, secured a great mass of testimony from the pastors and leading laymen of the churches. The Chief Justice, who was at first a disbeliever in the charges that were made, became convinced of their truth. Then began the crusade against thiscolossal evil. The last years of Rev. James Bicknell were spent in leading that crusade, and he won among the natives a noble following. Two Sabbaths ago we ordained a native, who mentioned Mr. Bicknell as the one who had broken the power of his superstitious beliefs and brought him light. Two days later, when out on the wharf I heard this man discredit the story of a shark-god (aumakua) told by an ignorant fisherman, I could but feel that he had learned his lesson wisely. Where fifteen years ago, many native pastors confessed to being under the spell of kahunaism, there is hardly one today who does not stand ready to denounce it in his pulpit. Again, it is my belief that the general moral condition of the natives has improved, notwithstanding the corrupting, unsettling influences I have mentioned and that many have been unable to stand up against the temptations that have so fiercely assailed them. Many men and women, young and old, are living worthy Christian lives and are acting as well tried leaders of their people. With these, education has resulted in an improved home life, and a growing public sentiment working towards a better state of affairs. When all is said, the fact holds that a powerful influence for good goes forth from our hoarding schools and from our government schools, and that the tone and service of the latter has become more moral, more Christian, more effective. Not enough praise has been given to the good men and women who have labored in the schools for the betterment of the Hawaiian people. These years have been difficult and trying ones as a period of transition from the use of the mother tongue in instruction to the use of English and, for the time being, intellectual developarrested. But now that the change has been effected, and the difficulty of the adoption of a new language has passed, and its riches are coming within the grasp of the rising generatron, we may hope for great gains, and for added help where the kindergarten is at work upon life at its earliest and most impressionable age. One mark of advance is the careful scrutiny which is given the lives of the clergy. A man living an immoral life cannot now hold a pulpit and wield an influence. Churches and associations are more inclined towards acts of discipline which once were so difficult of achievement. Having had to conduct at least ten cases of discipline in the native ministry during the last fifteen years, I can testify to a quickening of the Hawaiian conscience. The first case was carried after long argument and pleading by a majority of two: in the last case there was a practically unanimous vote, the motion to discipline having been brought by the native pastors themselves ( >ne further point ought to be noted. In the churches, there is a decrease of tlte race feeling There is much still, more than there ought to be, but it is not virulent as in the past. During the days of the Provisional Government there were churches where it was difficult for a white man to get a hearing. Men who would then leave the church on my coming into the milpit, now listen to me trladlv. Though the political issues of the day stir animosity in the breasts of some, the feeling of the Hawaiian people toward the honest and friendly white man is far more kindly than it was. and they are amenable to the right kind of influence. Still further, during the last few years the membership of the churches has steadily increased. In iB<)6, there were but one hundred Hawaiians received into the churches, but since 1808, the year in which our nolitical status was decided, and during which the number of receptions was 1 17. the churches have been steadily rallying in this respect, and during the year just passed, 284 members were added to the roll. There is no reason for discouragement in the Hawaiian work, it is rather a time when it can be successfully pressed, In ment was . our dealing with the Hawaiian there is need of continued forbearance and active co-operation of the white missionary. The signs of the times in the churches of 1 lawaii encourage us to believe that with patient and wise leadership they will hold their own for many years to come, and that with a prudent expenditure in their behalf, their condition may be greatly improved. O. P. Emerson. OPEN LETTER. To the Editor of The Friend: Allow me to call your attention to a statement in your issue of September in which you say that I own a part of the original tract of land at Punahou which had been given to my father by the na- tive chiefs. Will you in your next issue please correct the above statement by saying that I do not own a single square foot of land anywhere. In the address to which you refer I offered to purchase a third of an acre of that land with a legacy left me by a sister, and to donate the same to Kawaiahao Church, provided the church would erect on it a building suitable for a parsonage. In reference to my mother's wish, you state that mv mother in 1843, expressed the wish in a letter to a friend that that land might be made to contribute to the support of Kawaiahao Church. By reference to that letter which was published in the Commercial Advertiser of August 31st, you will notice that she was giving a statement of what her plans had been several years before. It is due to her memory that I here repeat her own words, to which I desire to call careful attention. She wrote, "When Punahou passed into other hands I endeavored to regard it as a matter which the public good required; and though thoughts of public good of another kind had filled my mind, drawn forth my plans, and moved my feeble frame to many an hour's hard labor on that land, my thoughts were not disturbed by it. The underscoring is my own, but I make it to call attention to the fact that she was reviewing what had taken place years before without expressing a wish to undo it. Ido not remember her ever saying or intimating anything in her family that indicated that she regretted having given her approval to the disposition of the estate which my father had made. It is true that in that same letter she says, "There is one object for which I have labored—that church—my thoughts turn there, and I am disquieted;" (not "I am disputed," as reported in the Commercial Advertiser.) It was doubtless the ease, not that she would, at the time she was writing have had the land passed (Continued on Page 8). �7 THE FRIEND .The Friend from the beginning has liquor of all kinds when the fact is noted an outspoken temperance paper, that the Negro, Torto Rican, Portuguese r Rev.

The Negroes and Porto Ricans who made Islands. night hideous a year or more ago, when SHERIFF BROWN AND BEER SALOONS... the beer saloons were in full blast, have been arrested and forced to jail or to the Sheriff Brown claims a decrease in the states or to the plantations. The Sheriff amount of drunkenness and especially in ought not to be so modest as to ascribe the number of arrests for drunkenness in the results of these arrests to the beer these Islands—notably in Honolulu. He : ascribes this decrease to the recent increased number of lieer saloons. His statement has had great weight with a number of people, and deserves some careful study. It is to be hoped that there is less drunkenness—but we are not at all sure that this is a fact, because we find an increased demand for liquor licenses—and no decrease in the number of saloons. Less drunkenness will naturally make less liquor business. There ought to be less demand for saloons. Then again we all know that the Sheriff would like to have a larger police force in order to be able to reach more perfectly the outskirts of the city. With the spread of saloons, drunkenness and the need of arrests become more difficult for the police department to reach. It is a question whether even with the decrease in residents there is a decrease of drunkenness, although it is what we wish with all our hearts. THSERIFF'S IGURES. In his annual report to Governor Dole, covering the period from July I, 1902, to July 1, 1903, the Sheriff gives the following figures: In Honolulu the arrests for drunkenness numbered 1102, divided by months as follows: July (1902), 127; August, 99; September, 115; October, 83; November, 69; December, 100; January (1903), 89; February, 87; March, 74; April, 69; May, 86; June, 104. It seems strange that a statement favoring an increased number of beer saloons for the public weal could ever have been placed by any sane man by the side of the above figures, and the figures quoted in proof of the statement. The Sheriff knows that Primo beer saloons were running in full force in July, 1902, when 127 arrests were made. The U. S. District Court in California a short time ago upheld the contention of the Anti-Saloon League that these saloons were illegally licensed. By the last of September, 1902, these saloons were closed. In October, �THE FRIEND 8 the month after these saloons were out of business, the arrests fell from 115 to 83. Then as long as there were no Primo beer saloons the decrease in the number of arrests continued. Of course this decrease was due to the beer saloons, and if the Sheriff would say it was due to the closed saloons we might agree with him. This decrease continued until in April, 1903, there were 69 arrests without beer saloons as against 127 in July, 1902, with beer saloons. But the Legislature passed the beer bill in April, 1903, over the Governor's veto. At once applications for beer saloon linceses were poured into the Treasurer's office and were speedily and numerously granted with the result that in June, the number of arrests had increased to 104, an increase of 50 per cent in two months. The Sheriff's own figures prove the absolute untrastworthiness of the Sheriff's statement concerning beer saloons. This question would not have been worthy of such careful analysis if the statement had not been made by one whose, position should give his opinion weight. Many persons have been deceived by it. The real fact is that the argument for the saloon as a public beneficiary is one of the most fallacious arguments ever offered to a thoughtful public. It is said that the government needs the license money, but the cost of arrests, trials and punishments, amounts to a far greater expense to the government than can possibly be ballanced by the few thousand dollars received in licence fees. Meanwhile the government is continually made poorer in the poverty of its citizens. The destroyed business, the wrecked homes, the pauperized and ignorant children made by saloons, are a burden of great weight upon any government as well as upon the family itself. The benefit of saloons! Even the saloon keeper laughs at any credulous man who puts forth such a statement in good faith. W. D. Westervelt.

Not only are the plantations to be visited and those who do not know the gosped to be reached, but also as in Apostolic times, a large part of the missionary's work is visiting the churches. As already mentioned, the Hawaiian Board has established in the Islands five well organized churches for the Chinese. All of these churches have a good church building and a native preacher. Preaching services are held regularly every Sunday. The members attend well, although often it necessary for some of them to walk for several miles, and some also will ride horseback for ten or fifteen miles to attend a preaching service.

Our largest church, the one here in Honolulu, has had a peaceful year. Eighteen have been received into the church on the profession of their faith, sixteen by letter, and also eight children have been baptized. Every Sunday morning and evening there is preaching in Chinese by Mr. Wong or Mr. Thwing. The Sunday School is well attended, their offerings this past year, besides helping on the Chinese Hospital of Honolulu, are supporting a native preacher in China. The church members have raised half of the salary of Mr. Wong, and also helped in other ways. �THE FRIEND 9 ThWeraG otf od What is called the "New Theology," has nobly magnified the tenderness of the Divine Love. It has made prominent the rich and outreaching graciousness of God's disposition. It glorifies his Fatherhood which broods in profoundly loving care over the children he has created. But by a common human weakness, it has taken a partial and one-sided view, and has failed to apprehend and appreciate the opposite pole of the Divine character which involves intense antagonism to what is evil and malevolent and false. The "Wrath of God" is a term of frequent occurrence throughout the new Testament, occurring both in Gospels and Epistles. It is something that exists in a dread reality. "God is Love." His nature glows with a love whose tenderness is beyond all human conception. But that love is not to be thought of as excluding abhorrence of sin, and indignation against those who are committed to the evil way. Such a conception of the Divine nature is superficial and shallow. The Father's love not only cherishes and rejoices his children; it also protects them. He must by his holy rule defend them against the incursions of pollution and cruelty. What a fatherhood were that which was incapable of relentless war against the malignant destroyer. The Divine Nature may be conceived of as exhibiting opposite poles. He "is Light, and in him is no darkness at all." And vet his creatures may be abiding in an awful shadow, alienated from the heavenly radiance, and shut out in an "outer darkness." So as to the ineffable Love of God. The opposite and inevitable polarity of that love is an intensity of antagonism to whatever is subversive of the well-being of his children. It is a hatred of sin, and condemnation of all who cherish and support evil. God is the Holy and Righteous One. He intends the moral health and purity of his children. Wherefore the more perfect and boundless His love, the more complete is His wrath against evil. It is futile for any one to assume such a loving kindness in the Heavenly Father as would exclude the element of wrath. Our actual knowledge of God is bounded by what has been divinely revealed to man, and especially by what is revealed through the person and character of our Lord Jesus Christ. The light of Nature is obscure and dim as to the moral disposition of God. Nature abounds in things that are cruel and dark, so that many men have plausibly inferred great lack of benevolence in the Creator. All assurance we have that he is completely loving in disposition comes to us solely from the personal character and disposition of the Lord Jesus, who reflects and reveals to us the Father's nature. Now what disposition did Jesus actually display during his brief ministry? There was certainly a marvellous loving kindness, compassion, mercy, approachableness, and boundless self-devotion in ministering to want and suffering. He was tender-hearted, sympathetic and pitiful to the utmost. So in his parable of the shepherd toiling over stony deserts with bleeding feet, he reclaims his lost sheep. But was loving compassion the entirety of his disposition? How did he feel towards the wolves who cruelly destroyed his sheep? Was there no flaming out of wrath against the wolves? We may say that the severe side, that of righteous anger, was fully represented in our Lord and Master. Perhaps nowhere in Bible literature is the element of holy wrath more vigorously expressed. Read Matthew 23: 13-36, and the parallel passage in Luke n: 37-52. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites," "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" When we thus behold the holy flame of indignation that filled the pure soul of Jesus against inveterate doers of cruel evil, how can we fail to infer that the Father whom he perfectly represented does not feel a like indignation and abhorrence which is fitly termed the "Wrath of God. ?" It must be a necessary truth that the perfection of the Divine benevolence involves the strongest antagonism and opposition to what is polluting and injurious. Conservation of the holy and the reclaiming of the unholy which inspire the deepest desire of the infinite Father's heart necessarily imply destructive war upon whatever opposes those ends. Hence our assertion in Matt. 13: 41, that "His angels shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire ; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Such is the tremendous and resistless sanitation executed by God's love and its attendant, wrath, against evil. Wherein as it seems to us the older creeds erred, and later views have a right tendency, was in the former having erected the so-called justice of God into a vast and rigid central element of his character whose unbending nature excluded the free action of the Father's loving compassion. A more enlightened and more scriptural interpretation gladly recognizes the broader truth that the * * tenderness of his Fatherhood dispenses with the rigid exaction of penalty. There is rich and free forgiveness with God. His grace abounds in healing and uplifting power. His weak, erring and sinful children are dealing with a Father of infinite compassion and almighty grace, who does not exact penalty or visit their iniquities upon the penitent. He forgives. He blots out our transgressions. He remits penalty. He heals, uplifts, accepts, draws close the poor and hungering souls to the fatherly bosom of infinite love. We sinful ones may lift our eyes with glad assurance to the infinite mercy. But all this leaves no comfort of hope to the hard and inveterate sinner. Of those who persistently turn away from the heavenly mercy, determined in sin, it is said that "the wrath of God abideth on them." God's fatherhood it has been well said is not a grandfatherhood; it is not weak and senile. It is holy and protective. S. E. B. MAKAWAO FOREIGN CHURCH. The Foreign Church of Makawao holds a regular service every Sunday morning. The Sabbath School, which convenes just before the preaching service, is well attended, consisting of primary and intermediate departments and a Bible class. Mrs. Fanny M. Simpson has charge of the primary department and conducts it on kindergarten principles, which seems most beneficial and enjoyable to the little children. During the school year about fifty students from Maunaolu Seminary form an interesting part of the congregation. Dr. Beckwith, the beloved pastor of this church, is in good health and able to be much among his people. Occasionally the pulpit is occupied by visiting clergymen from Honolulu and abroad. Contributions are made annually to the support of a Japanese minister in this district, Maunaolu Seminary and the Hawaiian Board. Among the women of the church is an organized missionary society which is a branch of the Woman's Board. They have also a Ladies' Aid Society, the work of which is devoted to this community. This society supports several kindergarten assistants and helps whenever possible in the needs of the church. Kindergartens are carried on at Paia and Haiku plantations. These are maintained by the plantations but are under the direction of a committee from the Ladies' Aid Society. �THE FRIEND 10 and with lightning flashes for a while most terrifying, but most warm and cheering was the welcome when at last the beautiful farm house was reached. first attended worship in the city.

This past summer the work has been finished of putting the entire group of buildings under an iron roof, and now there is a small army of painters at work. The whole dormitory has been overhauled; the teachers' rooms and the parlors repapered the dormitory proper, the sewing room, the dining room, the kitchens and the girls' reception room have been cleansed and repainted. The painters are now at work putting two coats on the exterior of the entire group of Seminary buildings. Much of this work could not have been done it the Honolulu merchants had not made generous contributions towards it. After this work is finished there yet remains to be done the building of a long needed wash and bath house. We want $500 for this object. This with a $50,000 endowment will keep the Board of Managers silent for some years to come. ; The girls are eagerly looking forward to an initiation into the game of basket ball, a set of which has been given the Seminary. Mrs. Bristol, the new principal, comes to her task with a close knowledge of Island life and particularly of work among Hawaiian girls. For sonic years her husband, who is now taking a post graduate course in Berkeley, was registrar of the Kainehameha Schools. Miss Thorn, the primary music teacher, is a graduate of Northfield Seminary and of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Miss Rose continues her duties as matron of the school. Miss Esther Akuna continues to fill the position of sewing and weaving teacher. Last year the school had sixty girls in attendance and as many are expected again this year.

The first half hour is given to devotional thought and to prayer. 1 hep follows the discussion of some homiletical topic and the diagnosis of the moral condition of the community. These meetings were held during the last year and were found to be a great help to the different workers. PORTUGUESE MISSION OF HILO. Attendance at Sunday morning services has been very good indeed, and some new faces have been noticed in the congregation. We find the people willing and ready to help and co-operate in the work of our Master when approached in the right way. Just recently, tue church sent a contribution to the Board, built a new fence in front of the church and parsonage on Volcano street, at a cost of about $90, and has made some alterations to the choir loft, giving it a much better appearance.

SCHOOLS, ISLAONMDEVIEWS At Kawaiahao Seminary there are 71 pupils at this writing, and it seems as though the school has Opened most auspiciously. It is interesting to note that this native Stronghold is becoming more and more a school for mixed races. When one reflects it will be seen that it is very imixirtant that there be a school where Chinese and Japanese girls can get sonic conception of a Christian home. There arc almost as many girls of other races as there are Hawaiian girls in the school at this time. The Hawaiian girls might go to three other seminaries, but where else could the Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese girls go? Following are the new teachers in the school: Miss Edna Skinner takes Miss Ilerckncr's place in the sewing department ; Miss Nellie Wadington has the primary work; Miss Cooledge (late pf Makawao) takes the music. At Mills Institute there has been a finerally after the vacation. The eclat with which the school closed last year did much to increase the demand for places and there are 70 boarders besides ;• goodly number of day pupils. It is surprising to see what an Americanizing influence that school has had already on the Chinese community. ()ne has only to attend a public function to wonder whether the boys are really Chinese. The spirit of the founder and mainspring of the institution, Mr. F. W. Damon, is always evident, however: the effort, to be sure, is to LAmericanize, but more,—it is to Christianize. Mr. Herlicrt Moore is the only new teacher, while Miss Harriet Austin has charge of the study-hours. Kohala Seminary has a new lease of life. It is at least significant that they have a new principal, too, and the fact that the buildings have been undergoing extensive repairs is not unrelated to be foregoing. Mrs. W. W. Bristol, late of Kaniehameha before going up to Kohala to take charge, made a canvas of the city and collected a considerable amount of materials and money for a complete overhauling of the old buildings, and as there was money laid aside in the treasury for this purpose it is believed that the whole aspect of the place has been much improved. We have not learned as yet whether the number of pupils exceeds that of last year, but it seems quite probable. MacDonahl of Kamehameha have charge there and have liecn able to secure sonic good assistants, we feel sure. These two are peculiarly well adapted to take charge of such a work, and the solid character of the training is assured. It may not be known to many that Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald have most fortunate backing for any religious effort they may feel like putting forth, by reason of the basis on which the government holds control of the property connected with the school. At any time that there should be any religious instruction at variance with the creed expressly stated in the instrument the property reverts to the A. H. C. F. M. with the understanding that a school be carried on in accordance with the plan of the school in its inception by the American Hoard. This good old hoarding school, in which some of the best 1 lawaiians of these and former days were educated, is thereby freed from the absurd ban which "Uncle Sam" in his desire for religious liberty, sees tit to place upon religious instruction in the public schools.

"You are right," was the reply; "and have you, then, learned to practice all the duties which I have already put before you?" The man was obliged to admit that he had hot as yet. "When you have," said the minister, "I will either put before you some new duties to attend to or else I will keep silence, for practice is the end of preaching, and when your life entirely conforms to the life of Christ you will (Singer) Doherty. aged 37 years.
