1904 be the fateful year in which the
war clouds that have gathered at times

instead it may be the year in which the
nations shall agree that war shall be
no more and that international differences shall he settled at a more equitable and honorable tribunal.
What will the new year bring in the
religious world? Will the great revival that some people expect is to
come appear within the next twelve
months? The time seems ripe, if the
church of Christ is ready to come out
from the world, we may look for it.
There seems to be much difference of
opinion and some confusion of mind as
to what its nature will be. Will it,
when it comes, be a revival of "social
righteousness," as some predict, or a
revival in which individual responsibility shall first be pressed, and recognized? We shall do well to remember that individual righteousness must
always be the basis of social righteousness, and hence the appeal in the
coming revival must be to the individual to make himself right with
God before he can accomplish anything
for humanity.

The Hawaiians were receptive. They

years the Truth had penetrated their
minds, the Holy Spirit descended in
great power upon the churches already

hundreds and thousands of ardent converts. A new nation was born in a

THE FRIEND

difficult problems which you are called
upon to face—problems in some respects unlike those of any other land
or "territory." Your remarkable illustrated number, with its pictorial and
graphic representations of the various
stages of the progress of the islands,
was read by many of us with the greatest interest, and one of our latest comers,
an accomplished lady doctor who visited
your port on her way thither last year,
told the story through an interpreter to
our Pang Chuang school-girls, as I have
occasionally tried to do to the boys and
others. I recollect that Mr. Charles
Nordhoff, in his interesting book on
your group, justly praised the people for
their open-handed hospitality, for their
benevolence, their enterprise and many
other virtues, remarking that "they have
not frittered away their minds by reading contradictory telegrams." I have
wondered within the past few months
whether the American-Hawaiian mind
has sensibly deteriorated. Put there is
something in the feeling that one's life
anastomoses even in a small and humble
way with that of all creation. Why.
even in our humble hamlet, which was
never heard of before a mission station
was set up there, we have a mail route
with visits of imperial couriers nine
times a month, and a threat—now become a fact —of having a "postal agency." Then the temptation to indulge in
the demoralizing and insidious daily paper grows practically irresistible, and
the first thing we know we are "in the
swim," although not able to keep up

Besides all this there are little stakes
and flags, and the like phenomena, not
far to the cast of us, denoting the prospective presence of the Tientsin-Chinkiang railway to he built by the Germans,
who seem to have a mortgage on Shantung, and the British, who claim the
Yang-tzu Valley.
The nearest station—a water tank station probably—will be only seven miles
distant, and the nearest city station only
twelve or thirteen miles. Already we
have the scream of little steam launches
and tugs on the shallow waters of the
Grand Canal. One of the arsenals formerly situated at Tientsin, captured by
the Japanese at the siege of Tientsin
City, has been removed into Shantung
so as to be safer from the next invasion,
and is on the outskirts of the city just
mentioned. The time has expired within which the Chinese were forbidden to
import arms, and already the foundation

hold civil service examinations. Much
difference of opinion was developed over
this article, but with characteristic
shrewdness the Chinese easily nullified
its intention by appointing the place for
the examination of students from such
cities—Peking, for example—in some
other province, an arrangement with
which foreigners do not care to interfere. There is a formidable array of unknown potentialities raging in Kttang Si
in the remote south, but otherwise the
Empire is reasonably quiet. For many
months Russia and Japan have been
posturing on the north, and no one can
say at what moment notice may be
served on the rest of the powers that the
to

former has definitely "ear-marked" all
the rest of China down to the disputed
Yang-tzu river itself. With the various
sections marked out for different nations, there seems to be small account
taken of the Chinese themselves, but
whatever arrangements foreign powers
may come to, the Chinese will not fail to
be heard from. Mission work seems to
be resuming its old lines with increased
plant, but with no new men—in our
mission, at least—and thus far with diminished means. Shall we not pray to
the Lord of the harvest to send both 'aborcrs and the means to equip them into
great, needy, rudderless, drifting China?

TEMPIRANC SSUES
EDITED BY REV W. D. WESTERVELT

The power of the Territory of Hawaii to issue licenses for the sale of
intoxicating liquors is about to be
passed over to the Hoard of Supervisors of each county of the Territory.
Every county will be responsible for
the sale of strong drink within its limits. The citizens of each county have
the responsibility of carefully looking
into the action of their supervisors.
Xow is the time when the personal influence of business men will be worth
something and can be used effectively.

It had been a cherished hope that the

Ruggles was the first one who offered
himself for the mission, and the first
of the mission band to set foot on the
Islands, lie was not an ordained minister, but evangelist and teacher. Mr.
and Mrs. Ruggles remained in Hawaii
some fifteen years, returning to the
United States in 1834. They expected,
after a furlough, to return to the land
of their choice. But on account of
Mrs. Ruggles' health they were not
able to do so, ami the rest of their lives
was passed in Brookfield, Ct., and in
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, where they
both died. Six children were born to
them, five of whom were bom in Hawaii.
Mrs. Frances L. Loomis, the
grandmother of the triplets, whose picture is in the group, was the eldest
daughter of Sarah T. Ruggles, who was
born on the Island of Kauai, December 22, 1820, and died December 23,
1899, in Wisconsin. Sarah Ruggles was

that she has had more time for reading this summer than for some time."
In Mrs. Loomis' last letter, Nov. 21,
1903, she writes: "My Annual Report

There was a mistake about the children. They were born in Fttlda, Minnesota, down in the southwest corner

NOTICES OF BOOKS
THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL

This popular and useful handbook
of information concerning the Hawaiian Islands, and more commonly
known as "Thrum's Annual," has
again made its yearly appearance; and
in this issue celebrates its thirtieth anniversary. In keeping with its character and the progress of the Islands, it
is fuller and more complete than ever,
and is indispensible to anyone who
wants to have at hand, in a convenient
form, a summary of the most important statistics and facts pertaining to
them. The first part of the book is as
formerly, devoted to statistics. Here
are found figures concerning interisland distances, the heights of mountains, rainfall, population, school statistics, commerce,

sugar

plantations

and many other matters, given in a
clear and condensed form and easy of
consultation. The body of the volume deals with subjects of special
value to those who are interested in
Hawaiian life and affairs. There are
Islands.

GOLDIE'S INHERITANCE

This is a book which will be oi UV
terest to many readers of The Friend
on account of their acquaintance with
the author, as well as tor the story itself. The writer is Mrs. Louisa M.
\\ liitney, who. with her husband, Rev.

Joel

l\ Whitney,

was a missionary

for a number of years in the Marshall
I-hrnds, and who will be remembered
especially by many of our older Honolulu people.
The book is a story of the siege of
Atlanta. Of it the author says in the
preface, "Into this story are woven
many sacred memories.
If the thread
of the story is tieton, it yet consists
mainly of facts, nearly all the import
ant incidents being taken from real
life." It is thoroughly interesting especially in the lasl half, as showing the
feelings and experience-, of northern
people who lived in the south during
that period of intense sectional feeling.
As would he natural under the circumstances, these experiences 'nave their
lights and shadows, sufferings and triumphs, but on the whole a happy end-

The book is a painstaking compilation of facts and information of the
greatest value, and reflects credit &gt;.n
its author. It amply sustains its former reputation, and is the best publi- ing.

FIELD NOTES
ALEXANDER HOUSE, WAILUKU,
MAUI

By Miss E. A.

Babb, Worker in Charge

On the evening of the 28th of Nov.
a sale of fancy articles was held in the
Settlement building. The small number present was not encouraging after
the great expenditure of time for making the numerous articles and arranging the attractive booths, where handkerchiefs, collars, lauhala work, pyrography, children's dresses, pictures, etc.,
were displayed. A part of the articles
on sale were made by the girls of the
sewing classes, and they had hoped to
reali/.e some benefit personally for
their labor. However, including the

profits of additional sales, about $75
has been cleared. A musical programme was rendered by those who
kindly gave their services, and the iced
drinks were donated by Mr. Wadsworth of the Maui Soda Works.
A handsome piece of pyrography and
a beautiful oil painting, gifts of the artists, Mrs. Decoto and Miss Homer,
are now put on sale in Honolulu, with
the hope that some whose eyes they
may attract by their intrinsic value
will gladly give the needed aid to Alexander House by their purchase. Information concerning them may be obtained from Mrs. Brown of the Y. W.
C. A.
A number of people, chiefly friends
of Miss Malone and through her instrumentality, have recently sent us
gifts—fancy articles, ribbons, pictures
and checks. Sewing materials from
Mr. Dußoi and Mr. Sachs are gratefully acknowledged. Miss Gay and myself are constantly mindful of the great
help the Settlement has received in the
past, and is still receiving, from several private sources, both in the Islands
and in the States, and feel that a repetition of our appreciation is not out
of place. I, personally, feel as deep a
debt of gratitude to my predecessor,

Miss Huntington, whose work was so
that her name is
daily mentioned by the children and

strong and loving
parents.

An interesting mothers' meeting was
held not long ago in the Kindergarten.

Classes and good times have been enjoyed as usual in the club rooms. An
effort is in embryo to start a Good Citizenship Club, to be conducted by com
pctent men of the locality.
Christmas time, with its good cheer,
has already come, the celebrations being held at the close of the term. (&gt;n
Friday evening, Dec. IH, an audience
larger than could be accommodated in
the seating space, listened eagerly to
the songs and exercises of the dear little mites of the Kindergarten. The
concert was followed by a Christmas
tree in the reading room. A beautiful
coffee tree, with red berries still intact,
had been presented by Mr. Cornwell,
and was decorated with tinsel, candles
and gifts. Miss Day and her assistants
had made very pretty scrap-books for
the girls, and the hearts of the boys
were delighted with jingling reins.
Each member of the Kindergarten
received an orange from Santa Clans'
pack—(the gift of a real, live Santa
Clans in Lahaina) —and a bag of candy
and popcorn from the tree. The little
fingers had been busy these many days
sewing the bright colored candy hags
and making raphia baskets and picture
frames and card-board baskets for their
proud parents.
The tree was used the following
evening for the presents for the girls
of the sewing classes and the men and
boys of the evening school. Rulers,
tablets, pencils, notebooks and pictures
were presented,—each member receiving one gift besides a bag of candy. If
the doners of candy, Messrs. Wichman,
Kirkland, Hoke and Silva, could have
seen the enjoyment with which all our
children munched their sweets, they
would have felt well repaid.
There were one hundred and seventeen present Saturday evening, most of
them being members of one or more
classes. It was with great pleasure
that they received three games, sent as
a Christmas gift for Alexander House
from a little student of mine back in
the Old Hay State, and heard me read
the announcement of a year's subscription to the "Woman's Journal," from
that same boy's mother, the "Youth's
Companion" from Mr. and Mrs. Case,

and the "American Roy" and some
games from the Sunday-school class of
a cousin in Boston. Marching and
songs completed the good time.
After the holidays work will be resumed, Jan. 4, 1904.

CHINESE NOTES
By Rev. E. W. Thwing
Hawaii
The Chinese of Kohala are busy
painting their church, and arc doing it
well, both inside and out, at a cost of
$2fio. They have raised $100 among
themselves, the Board has given !?i&lt;x&gt;,
and other friends have made up the.
balance. They hope to have the workcompleted by Christmas.

.

At all the mission stations the workers arc busy making ready for a happy
Christmas. Mrs. Walsh of llilo writes
that her school children are to enjoy a
regular snow storm, the "snow macine" has arrived, and the children
will have a good treat.

Maui
At Wailttku the work is encouraging at present. At our last communion service the church was full. Four
united on confession of faith. The
Japanese also joined with us ill a union
meeting at the Chinese church, and

later invited the Chinese to meet with

them at their church.
A Christmas box has just been sent
for the Chinese children of Kula, who
arc looking forward to a good time on
Christmas. At liana, Maui, the superintendent, during a recent trip, had
meetings with Chinese, Japanese and
Hawaiians. On Maui also, as well as
on Hawaii and Oahu, the Korean laborers are needing our attention.

Fort St. Church, Honolulu
The services are held regularly and
are well attended. A number are expecting to join on confession of faith
the first of the new year.
A letter was received not long ago
from Mr. Nelson of Canton, telling of
the work of the Sunday-school missionary, Mr. Leung San Wing, who is

preaching in China. He says:
"The Sunday-school is showing
much interest in raising this money for
the work in the Hcung Shan district.
Others of the church members are
helping the work in this part of China.
Now is the time for a forward movement in China. The people arc ready
and looking for a change. It is our
part to help on the change in the right
way. Dr. Hager, who has been working near the field where our Sundayschool missionary is preaching, also reports a wonderful turning of the people to Western learning and gospel
teaching. Large numbers have come
into the church during the past six

CHINESE

NOTES FROM WAILUKU

By Miss Charlotte L. Turner

.

There was a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese at the Chinese
church, W'ailuku, -Nov. 29th. The services were conducted by Rev. E. \\
Thwing, Rev. C. Tanaka, and Mr.
Teng Ah Ling, the evangelist. Five
were admitted to church fellowship
by profession and received baptism.
There was an attendance of seventy
people. Quite a number of Chinese
women were present. The Communion
service was observed and there was
manifest a true spirit of Christian fellowship.

Miss Turner recently visited in the
Chinese homes at I'aia and Makawao.
She received a cordial welcome and
many children were made happy by
the distribution of picture leaflets.
Home visitation among the various nationalities in our midst forms a most
interesting and very important part of
the work.
Evening classes of Chinese and Japanese for the study of English, still
continue to be well attended and a
growing interest is manifest.
Christmas exercises were held at the
Chinese church on the evening of Dec.
17th. A large number of the parents
and friends of the Chinese Mission
School were present. The entertainment consisted of singing and recitations appropriate to the season. The
tree was gaily decorated, and very attractive. All" the children were rilled
with Christmas cheer, and enthusiasm.
Through the kindness of Mr. C. B.
Wells in rendering financial aid, and
Mr. Aheong by a contribution of candy
and delicious oranges, and other substantial aid from Mrs. W. Y. Homer
and family of Lahaina, it has been possible to pass a very delightful Christmas festival.
The Chinese Mission expresses sincere gratitude for all, with wishes for
a Happy New Year to all.
