The preiposcd franchise, however, which is now before Congress, violates many principles proven by experience to he essential to the protection of the public interest. As we unelerstanel the measure, it turns over the streets of Honolulu to the company, permitting the erection of poles ami stringing of wires for thirty-five years. It fixes the rate of 20 cents per kilowatt hour for the same periotl. No restriction is placed upon its capitalization or power of boneling itself. In short, it grants rights to this company wdiich can not In- modified or regulateel eluring the entire period of thirty-five years of its pro]K>seel existence. The practicalh unanimous condemnation the franchise received on the floor of the National House of Representatives, proves that we have not been in this matter as alert in the protection of our interests as a due regarel for the welfare of the pce>ple requires. It is no doubt a fact that the high character of those intcresteel in the company has in a measure disarmed criticism. At the same time, such considerations have no place in the elrafting of iron-clael charters for corporations whose personnel may raelically change in a few years. We have hael a tramway and a telephone company to ileal with. Experience, therefore, plainly points out the necessity of reserving the right to the government to regulate, in an equitable manner, both the nature of the service rentlereel and the rates exacteel therefor. T R. Sympathy with Japan "Why shoulel Christian America sympathize with heathen Japan rather than Christian Russia?" This is the pregnant question put to the people of our country by a leaeling citizen of the Czar's empire. It is very pertinent to us who live in Hawaii side by side with between sixty and seventy thousanel Japanese. Two lines of reply may be urgeel. The first one ignores the aeljectives anil drops the invidious distinctions "Christian and heathen." That widespread sympathy with Japan does exist among Americans needs no proof. Its explanation is found basically in the chivalric sitling with the smaller combatant. No knightly soul, heholding the apparently uneqal contest between a nation of 45 millions and one of 120 millions, can fail to cheer for the Back of this plucky featherweight. lies the financial consideration. Rus- sian triumph means the practical closing of Asia to American, not to say world, commerce. China and Japan are just enuring upon their career of larger demands and the life of civilization with its incessant and ever-increasing needs is beginning to course in their veins. The supremacy of the Czar will freeze this life flood into stagnancy. What Russian ideals produce may he seen throughout that country of boundless resources, where millions are half starving and other myriads living more like beasts than men. Japan's victory means the open door in Asia, progress everywhere along the western shores of the Pacific, and a commerce on this ocean of the future undreamed of yet in the world's Nobler still is the sympathy history. born of liberty, the inevitable war of mutual extermination which subsists between the absolutist and the democrat. This was clearly stated years ago to the then United States Minister, Hon. A. D. White, by the whilom dictator of Russia, Pobiedonosteff, and subsequently ported by Mr. White in a magazine article. The Russian Minister of State outlined the two irreconcilable theories of government held by Russia on the one hand and Great Britain and the United States on the other. He foresaw the coming battle between them, and believed that Russia must prevail because human welfare could be guaranteed only by the triumph of "the rule of the wise." By a singular turn of the wheel of fortune, Japan and neither of the Anglo-Saxon Powers has become the protagonist of the forces of progress. If Russia wins, there must some time in the future be one more vast war for liberty. If victory rests with her antagonist, then constitutional government will cross the Japan and Yellow seas to the Asian continent, and the Empire of the Czar itself, unable to withstand the moral shock of defeat, may disintegrate through revolution into a federation of free states. The real peril of the world today is not "Yellow" in color; it is the white with the blue crossed bars of the Czar's war banner. Instinctively every American feels that Japan is fighting his battle, and not merely her own. Nay, it is the battle of every son of man, Russian as well as Chinese, Finn and Pole as well as Japanese and Anglo Saxon. Why heathen? Now put back the adjectives. What constitutes a "Christian," what a "heathen ?" The answer of this age, coming quick and true, "character, not profession," holds equally well of the nation anel the individual. Contrast Russia's sanels of inoffensive, unarmed Chinese peasants on the Amur river some three years ago, with Japan's wide-open hospitals, where wounded Chinese soleliers lay side by side with wounded Japanese, cared for with equal tenderness by the Empire's ablest physicians and most experienced trained nurses. Which was following Christ most nearly? Place side by side the persistent extermination in Russia of all Christian sects that dare to differ with the Greek church, and the faithful execution in Japan of the constitutional provision guaranteeing freedom of religious belief. Which is the heathen here ? Compare the unspeakable horrors of condemnation to penal servituele through administrative process under the Czar's government, with the legal guarantees of fair trial which safeguanl the citizen chargeel with violation of law where the Mikado rules. Which deserves the adjective Christian? Japan may not count her members of Christian churches by the million, but her ideals of government and ofcitizenship are immeasureably nearer the standarels of the Cross than those of Russia. We may not call her Christian, as we dare not ideally apply this name to any nation, but measured by her opportunities who shall call this splendid world-power any the less Christian, or any the more heathen, than such long-favored nations as Great Britain and the United States ? Because we have more right to couple this noble adjective, Christian, with Japan than with Russia, the Christian heart of America sympathizes with her in her brave, unselfish struggle, in which we also firmly believe she will come off victorious. honor the Day Loyal American citizens, brought up under the influence of the Stars anel Stripes, must confess to a feeling of pained surprise at the sight of the many open places of business in Honolulu on Washington's birthday. This holiday is becoming more anel more sacredly associated in the minds of the people of the United States with the conception of ideal citizenship, and it seems little less than desecration to throw open business houses and compel employees to work on the 22nd of February, except in cases of public necessity. This is especially true in a Territory like Hawaii, where the task of • preparing young Hawaiians, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Porto Ricans and possibly Koreans, for taking their places as voters in the Union of the future is upon us. Every national holiday should be celebrated here with no less devotion than characterizes the observance of such religious occasions as Sunday and Christmas. Patriotism is a �5 THE FRIEND vital part of true religion, and to venerate our national heroes on the two significant occasions—Washington's Birthday or the Ideal Citizens' Day and Memorial or All Patriots' Day—set apart therefor by the laws of all but a few of our States, is so sacred a duty that mere to see either violateel through sordid considerations brings the blush to the cheek and shame to the heart of the real lover of his country. Up to date Phenti Thk fine service Congress is rendering this Territory in the matter of the electric light franchise makes every user of the telephone on Oahu wish that our National law makers might break up the monopoly held by the local telephone company. If the shady side of the story of the defeat of the attempt to secure from our last Legislature the franchise for an up-to-date, efficient telephone system could only be made known in Congress, the hanels of patriotic opposers of the sacrifice of public monopolies to private profit would be correspondingly strengthened. There is no excuse for the wretcheel service which for months has wearied the patience of the people of this Island. If the local company will not make equitable terms with the automatic company—anel rumor has it that they can if they will—a way should be founel to let their rivals enter the Territory. Would that such a way might be secured through Congress. Stop the Tights Is it not time for the elecent people of Honolulu to call a halt in the prize fight nuisance?

Meantime, one- year ago the THE BOARD'S PRESENT POLICY American Boarel withdrew finally, and' the entire conduct of the many-sided work devolved upon the Christians of this to most After months devoted a many careful consideration of all features of its work, the Hawaiian Board has entered upon a twofold policy of coortlination and affiliation, the one Territorial in its scope, the other national. The original work of the American Board in these Islands regarded the Hawaiians alone. Its missionaries founded churches anel consolidated them into four island associations, (i) Hawaii, (2) Maui comprising also Molokai and Lanai (3) Oahu, and (4) Kauai including Niihau. These four combined in the Evangelical Association. The system was complete and has workeel admirably. As the white population grew, it hecame necessary to proviele means of worship for those unacquainted with the native tongue, and thus there slowly came into being the so-called Foreign churches. Composed of English-speaking people in sympathy with the Christian work carried on by the American Mission, the members of these churches were zealous supporters of every effort made to Christianize the native inhabitants. But owing to the barrier of language on the one hand and to their location at points widely separated on the other, these churches of English-speaking people connected themselves organically neither with the native associations nor with one another. Drawing their membership from all denominations, naturally they organized on the union or congregational plan, but ecclesiastically each was absolutely independent, and stooel unrelated to any denomination of Christians. Churches of this character grew up on Hawaii at Hilo, Kohala, and Kona (now temporarily quiescent), on Maui at Paia, and Wailuku (services intermitted for a season), on Oahu at Honolulu, anel on Kauai at Lihue and Waimea. Some of these have to this day not even been organized as churches. Meantime, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese began to immigrate hither, and Christian work was promptly pushed among the newcomers. Much of it was conducted through the Hawaiian Board, with the generous co-operation of the American Board. The resulting churches were in some instances brought into a quasi-connection with the Evangelical Association, but the bond was so frail as Territory. Now as long as the Islands maintained their independence anil money was plentiful enough to create no demand for the economies and the esprit dc corps of consolielation, the anomaly of the conelition outlined was not forced into prominence. But with the- entrance of 1 lawaii into the L'nion, anil shortly thereafter with the diminished support incident to the decease of several generous contributors and to the general financial depression, the weak spots made themselves known. Other denominations, hacked by great national organizations, having previously entered the field, began to offer by their compactness, a strong contrast to our disjointed negation of system, while their ability to tiele over a season of local business depression by calling upon their fellow Christians on the mainland mocked our financial loneliness. The sound maxim for all time, "In union is strength." which has become the basal social truth in this century of combination, has been brought home with startling power to the Hoard and its frienels. We realize that unless these elisassociated churches, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and English-speaking, get together anel pool their issues, they are doomed. God has no use anywhere in His universe for the weakness of disunion. The Board, therefore, has called its constituency everywhere upon throughout these Lslanels to close ranks and march together. It is very gratifying to be able to state that the response has been unanimous and enthusiastic beyond expectation. The coordination requested by the Board demands as its initial step, that all our churches connect themselves respectively with the Islanel Associations and begin to pull together, regardless of race. In this way common interests will be rece>gnized, and acknowledged, common burdens will be borne by all, progress will be made towards a more genera) use of the English language, and, without the sacrifice of an atom of essential independence, the gradual development of a vital organism will be effected. Next month The Friend will tell how the experiment begins to work in Hawaii, where the churches of all nationalities are �6 to meet on a common ground at the spring session of the local Island Association. Already a kindling spirit anel its child, increased financial support, have marked the beginning of getting together. Affiliation means extending this process across the ocean and getting into touch with our fellow Christians of the United States. The financial stress here has made this absolutely necessary. Already the Boarel has been compelled to sacrifice two of its most honored missionaries, and during the past two years has cut its budget clown by over $15,000, a reduction of more than .33 1-3 per cent. Notwithstaneling these heroic measures it is today something more than $9,000 in debt, and the deficiency has increaseel the past ten months by a little over $2,100 a month. Although our treasurer believes that expecteel receipts later on will modify these fatal figures, there can be but one enel to this process, anel the disaster of serious disruption of our work is close upon us. Foreseeing this, the Board last fall entered into communication with the Home Missionary Society and the American Missionary Association, with a view both to its affiliation with these organizations and to their co-operation in its various enterprises. No elefinite reply has yet been received. It is hoped that the Home Missionary Soviety will assist in the conduct of work done through the medium of the English language, and that the American Missionary Association will unite with us in the maintenance of the Chinese and Japanese departments. It is not merely the financial help that is desired. The Boarel and the churches which support it or are maintained byit feel the need of larger sympathy. We must be a part of some world-wide organization, share the prayers and own the sympathy of our fellow Christians all over the United States and in other nations as well. Through the American Board this was formerly ours. With close affiliation to the great societies of the mainland, we shall have it again in still larger abundance. In addition to seeking connection with the two societies named above, the Board has asked the American Board to take over the mission on Pleasant Island manned by Rev. and Mrs. Delaporte, an:! has carrieel out the resolution of the Evangelical Association by voting to transact its foreign missionary workthrough this society. It has also requested the Education Society to co-operate in training men for the ministry by asking aid for one very promising young man. Conscious of the sacred responsibility •ntrusted to it by the Christians pf Artier- THE FRIEND, ica in inaugurating and maintaining for more than 80 years one of the most successful missionary enterprises known to history, the Boarel means to be true to the trust. In the present emergency it has been calleel upon to face the fact that Hawaii is an integral part of the American Union, that its problems are no longer local, that the whole nation is vitally interested in maintaining Christian civilization out here in the mid-Pacific, and that this cannot be done without the cooperation of a Christian organization coextensive with the Uniteel States. We have now done our part. Will our fellow Christians of the mainland do theirs? We have no hesitancy in believing that D S. they will. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII By S. E. Bishop. 2. The Consolidation by Kamehameha. of Government Our last number pointed out the great advantage to the Gospel conquest of Hawaii in the singular delay in the discovery of this group. Next in order, we must be impressed by the immense advantage secured by the complete suppression of the disorders of war, anel the thorough establishment of orderly government in Hawaii, by the great conqueror, Kamehameha. Long prior to the Discovery, in 1778. and for twenty years after, the disturbances and ravages of internecine wars in Hawaii constituted a destructive condition, which, if continued, would have been most untoward for the propagation of the Gospel among them. Moral, mental, anel social culture require public order and peace, as much as garden anel grain crops require fencing and shelter. The inroads of murderous hordes of warriors must be as fatal to all such culture and progress as the trampling of a herH of buffaloes would be to prairie farming or of swine to a vegetable garden. The wonderfully rapid growth of Christian faith and education, which in twentyyears transformed the Hawaiian nation would have proved impossible under the warlike conditions which prevailed before Kamehameha's conquest. An illustration of such impediments is lotable in the long-delaveel progress, forty years later, in Christianizing the Gilbert Islands, where the people were frequently at war, and cruel invasions irose between the islands. Little thorough or efficient progress was accom- plished until the strong hand of Great Britain enforced order an# law. Just so it was the powerful grasp of Kamehameha which reduced the whole Hawaiian people into quiet anel orderly subjection. In view of the propitious order anil peace which for twenty years before the arrival of Christianity in Hawaii, had under Kamehameha succeeded ages of warfare, we seem justly to recognize in him a remarkable instrument of God's Providence raiseel up to "prepare the way of the Lord, anel make His paths straight." It seems as truly so as when Cyrus was raised up to deliver Israel from Babylon, or Caesar to reduce the worlel into peace for the coming of the Christ. Not long after the discovery of Hawaii, in 1788, Kalaniopuu elieel. After much warfare Kamehameha became the most powerful of the chiefs of the great island. But violent and elestructivc wars ensueel from 1782 to 1791, before he became master of the whole of that island on the eleath of Keoua, the king of Kau. Although that event was accomplished by treachery, it secureel the first consolielation of government on the island. Three more years, however, followed of violent warfare with Kahekili, the king of Maui, after whose death, in 1794, Kamehameha ravaged and subdued Maui and Molokai, with the aid of guns and powder handled by the skill of his white lieutenants, John Young and Isaac Davis. Meanwdiile, the benevolent explorer, Vancouver, had vainly sought to mediate between the warring chieftains and negotiate lasting peace. Kamehameha was firmly determined on complete conquest of the group. In 1795, Kamehameha seizeel a most favorable opportunity anel invaded Oahu. The battle of Nuuanu Valley completed the conquest of the group, the king of Kauai tendering submission. This final conquest of Oahu owed much to a favorable juncture, due to the brutish folly of the king, Kalanikupule, which disarmed his forces at the critical time. But still more was due to the martial vigor and skill of Kamehameha, wdio used to the best advantage the guns anel poweler of the foreigners, and pursued a determined line of policy with a steadfast purpose. And Kamehameha was not only a victorious warrior; he was also a wise and efficient statesman. He die! not merely heat clown and destroy the enemies of his supremacy in the group: he also established and consolidateel a high degree of quiet and wholesome order. While despotic, he proved in the main a wise �7 THE FRIEND he suppressed violence, murder and brigandage. He encouraged labor, and improvements of roads, watercourses and fishponds. The people lived in peace, and enjoyed much of the fruit of their labors. Trade flourished. Foreigners were protected and resideel in Hawaii in security. It was a marked indication of this king's superior nature that he accepted the aelvice, and even reproofs, of such whiteassistants as Young, Davis and Parker, and that they were content to spend their lives in his service. Thus a completely strong and healthycondition of public affairs had been maluring for twenty years before death ended this remarkable reign. When the Gospel came, it found the Hawaiian nation living in peaceful order and quiet, without thought of revolt. They were thus prepared to give hospitable reception to the new and beneficent Light. A wonderful preparation hael been accotn"plished for the planting of Christianity. In Kamehameha an extraordinary instrument hael been provielcd for this work. He stanels as one of a marvellous chain of special provisions for a speedyconquest of Hawaii by the Gospel. A VISIT TO KOREA By Rev. E. W. Thwing. While the attention of all civilized nations is at present turned towarel Japan, it may be of interest to learn a little more of Korea, as the control of this territory, or at least the controlling influence there, is what Japan desires. It is only ten or twelve hours from Japan to Korea; many of her people have large interests there, anel it is of vital importance that her influence shall come first in the affairs of this "Land of the Morning Calm." On returning to China from a short stay in Japan, the opportunity was found for making a visit to Korea, and seeing some of the curious and very interesting places in this land of white clothes and strange hats. We left the port of Nagasaki, Japan, at about 6p. m. The next morning at 6 o'clock, the island of Tsu-shima being reached, we made a short stop there. Early in the afternoon the southern coast of Korea came well in view, and the first landing was made at Fu-san. This is the chief place on the southern coast of Korea. It is only about fifty miles distant from Japan's nearest land, the island of Tsu-shima. There is a large settlement of Japanese there. History tells us that as early as 33 B. C. the Koreans crossed over into Japan, and at that time there was quite a profitable trade between the two countries. Leaving theJapanese quarter of Fu-san, the real Korean town is entered. What first impressed me as strange and curious was the Korean hats and the big wooden shoes. All sorts of high hats with broad brims could be seen. One very useful hat might be called the umbrella hat. It can be folded and put in the pocket, and when needed opened up like a small umbrella, and placed on the top of the heael. The houses throughout this Korean town are generally rather small and dirty. Most of the people are very poor. The money in use is the copper "cash," some 1600 being needeel to make up the value of an American dollar. Often in the stores long strings of these cash would be piled up three or four feet high. Anyone going shopping might well reejuire a servant to carry his pocket-book. The Korean gentlemen are a fine looking lot. They are, as a rule, rather tall and present a very picturesepie appearance in their beautiful Oriental gowns and fine hats. A gentleman always has a lot of servants, one to carry his hat, another his fan, anil even another for his pipe. He often wears a pair of largespectacles, which, he thinks, gives him a very learnetl appearance. He is very polite and dignified, and thinks a great deal of the proper ceremonies to be useel on elifferent occasions. At this time of the year (the middle of May), the air was cool and bracing, with plenty of sunshine-. The climate of Korea is very fine for a large partof the time. A niissie>narv living there says "For nine months of every year, Korea has the finest and healthiest weather to be found in any land ; from the mieldle of September to the middle of lime, sunshine nearly every clay. and rain enough only to bring on the spring crops few high winds, little dust; cool, bracing falls; sharp, dry winters, anil fresh, mild springs. The three summer months, however, are unhealthy, and trying to all foreigners." It was a great pleasure to stop with Dr. Chas. H. Trvin, the missionary in charge of the Presbyterian mission station at Fu-san. Just as I came in he was engaged in an operation on a Korean boy. This medical work done by Christian doctors, has done much to open up the country. The love anel kindness hospital missionary shown in the comes to the hearts of these people with great power. Dr. Irvin, in a report of his work, says:"l know no better roael to warm your way into the inner nature of another, than to show interest and sympathy in the hour of trial and affliction ; and the medical missionary who fails to take advantage of this God-given opportunity, fails to employ one of the greatest powers in his work." Dr. Irvin : has done a wonderful work here in Fusan. In eight years he has treated nearly 50.000 patients, besides over 9,000 children, anel he has performed ewer 2,000 surgical operations, among which none have been fatal. There is a church here now, e>f between 30 and 40 members, anel the native Christians are being taught the important lesson that each one is to feel it his own duty to he a missionary to those around him. It is in this way that the work is spreading all over Korea. Many of the Koreans who come to Honolulu are already Christians. A missionary in Korea states that "There are now about thirty thousand Protestant Christians in that country: anel in northern Korea, where, eight years ago, there- were but half a elozeii little groups of Christians, there are- now two hundred and thirtyfive meeting places. These are steadily increasing, for last year 1.232 new converts were- baptized in that section eif the country alone." After leaving Fu-san, Chemulpo was the next place- visited. This port is on the southwestern coast. The steamer had to anchor a long way from shore, as all along this coast there arc miles of mud, much of which is left bare- at lowtide. A visit at the Methodist mission station he-re-, and lunch with Mr. Jones, the missionary in charge, were much enjoyed. We went to see the- native church anil the homes of some- of the Christians. Very often you can se-e- at once- the influence of Christianity in their home life. They always show much appreciation of the missionary's visits, anil seem to make a good, sturdy class of Christians. Many of them are bright, and .very quick to learn. From Chemulpo it is but a short. trip to Seoul, the capital. An American company has built a railroad covering the thirty-five miles from Chemulpo Also it is the Americans who have built and now operate the electric street railway in the capital. Not only the missionaries, hut many of the business men from the United States are finding much to interest them in this once "Hermit Kingdom." While there I hearel much talk about the very valuable golel mines which are being elevelopcel also by Americans. Seoul is a city of perhaps 300,000 inhabitants, and may be a very beautiful one from a Korean point of view, but does not, however, seem to be a very handsome city to a Westerner. After nightfall the gates are shut and most of the people stay at home. In the daytime, however, it is a very interesting sight that is seen as one approaches the great south gate of Seoul. A two-storied �8 THE FRIEND. covers the tunnel-like entrance through the wall here. All day long a busy crowd arc pushing their way back and forth. Curious carts and sedan chairs, men, with strange burdens strapped on their backs; oxen, with their heavy loads; men on foot, dressed in long white gowns and black hats, all make up the steady stream which may be seen any day at the gate of Korea's capital. Now that Japan's armies are marching through Korea, a glance at some of her early relations with this empire may be of interest. History shows us that Japan has ever hail her eyes toward this "Land of the Morning Calm." Japan's first expedition into Korea was in A. D. 203. The Japanese take great pride in this, their first exploit in a foreign land. At that time Korea sent back to Japan 80 ships of gold and silver and other precious things, together with men of noble families as hostages. They then took oath to be tributary to Japan. Again in 1583, Hideyoshi, a great Japanese general, invaded Korea with a large army. As late as 1872, during the stirring times following the rapid changes introduccel into Japan, the war project to conquer Korea was very popular. However, circumstances prevented an outbreak at that time, and later, in 1876, by a treaty of peace and friendship, Japan opened up Korea to the world. The United States was the first Western power to conclude a treaty with Korea. A clause of this treaty, made with the United States on May Ist, 1882, reads as follows: "If other powers deal unjustly or oppressively with either Government, the other will exert their gooel offices, on being informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings." America has ever been ready to lend her aid for the welfare of this nation. American missionaries are doing the largest part of the work of teaching her people. And to America, as well as to Japan, must the people of Korea look for that helping hanel which may place her among the most enlightened nations of the world. This brief stay in Korea was so full of interest and enjoyment as to lead to the hope that at some future time a longer visit may he made. tower letters and to present facts already stated close this appeal by extracts from it: by herself in a very earnest appeal made Her date was Jan. 17th, 1904: at the February meeting of the W.

Miss Turner gives the following notes of the Chinese work on Maui: There are some very encouraging features connecteel with the Chinese Mission work in Wailuku. ()ne is the interest the class of young men show in the study of English, as they meet two evenings of the week at Alexander House. There is also a markeel interest shown in attendance at Sabbath school, and church services. There seems to be a elesire on the part of some to know the Christian truth. On Thursday evening, Feb. 4th, there was a very pleasant gathering of Chinese young men at the home of the Workers connecteel with the Alexander House. Various games were furnished for entertainment, and all entered into the spirit of them. Tea and cakes were served for refreshments. It was an evening of social cheer, anel will long be pleasantly remembered by all. 11 IN RE AN OLD FRIEND Distance from markets and the nature of the soil make this a practical cerlslanel friends who are from New Eng- tainty.

()n this point there can be but little difference of opinion. The advantage of having an intelligent, industrious class of people elistributed throughout the group, with their interests rooteel in the soil, is so great from every point of view that it cannot but be desirable to every clcarminded person. About the only ground for difference of opinion would seem to be as to the source from which this part of our population should be derived! Should it be sought entirely from the- mainland, or should we attempt to furnish it from the young people growing up on the ground? The true answer probably is that it should be derived from both these sources. The present tendency, however, seems to be to emphasize the importance of the former to the neglect of the latter, This is doubtless because this is the easier and apparently the more promising method, and anyone who is acquainted with the difficulties that woulel attend the raising up of an intelligent farming class from the youth of enir various races will not be too hasty in condemning it. Still, a true foresight will keep all the elements of the problem in view. We must remember that many at least of these people are here to stay, and so far as they dei not learn to carry on some form of honest industry they are likely to swell the pauper and criminal classes. A man with a fixed place of abode which he can call his own, is more likely to become a useful citizen and respect the rights of others, than one who has no such attachment. It is always desirable, therefore, that as many ns possible of the people of a country have such places of abode.

To those who have capital to make a beginning with such crops, there seems good provided the prospect of work is carried on with diligence and intelligence. Such farming will, however, be for the few and not for the many. The majority must be content with other and less profitable crops, which can be raised more quickly and with less outlay of money. For this class e>f farming, we believe it would be a mistake for the American farmer to come. He can do better at home.

It would tax both the columns of "The Friend" and the patience of its friends to detail all the signs of promise in the Board's work on Maui and Hawaii. In the elesert land of plantation Japandom —desert because of the dearth of all that we Americans mean by the word "home" one beautiful oasis is found at Honomu. This is Rev. Mr. Sokabc's Japanese Boareling School. Mr. Sokabe is a genius in his management of children and in his power to attract the love of young and old. His countrymen who are led to Christ by him bear a stamp all their own. Wherever they are they work for their Master, and go where they will, they never cease to love the old school and church. Give them a holiday, and back they run to Honomu to spend it. There is no other such place in all Hawaii. And the children? How much it means to them! Mr. and Mrs. Se)kabe have no little ones of their own, but they dearly love and fondly care for their charges. Not s year passes without some of these children at the critical age for religious life becoming followers of school Jesus. They grow so fond of their vacation in a few at home days that after they begin to cry for Honomu. Strange, too, for Sokabc's gospel is one of work. Every week day at 4:30 or 5 p. m. the scholars, under the lead of the schoolfather—to call him principal would be a sad misnomer—troop out to the cane fields, and there all hands put in a good hour stripping cane. The plantation pays them the full value of the labor, and with their tiny wages the little tots learn the first lessons of thrift. Rev. Mr. Hill and his companion, the Board's commissioner, will not soon forget the lovely October afternoon when to the beat of drums a company of neatly uniThe Oasis at Honomu — At that meeting the olel constitution, somewhat altcreel, was accepteel, and the President authorized to appoint committees which should be in running oreler on the arrival of Mr. Martin, who is expected by the first steamer in March.

It is certainly one of the most unique anel beneficent institutions in thisTerritory. But unfortunately, genius though he is in school management (erne whom even Frocbel woulel delight to honor), in business affairs Mr. Sokabc is a child. So the school struggles on in debt, but ever happy amid its discouragements. Some day grace may be given him to endure a business manager. But debts or no debts, errors in minor matters, too, included, this sclumil deserves to live, and should have generous frienels who can appieciate a man of such rare type and are glael to foot enough of his bills to D.

AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE : �sical point of view, the interests of each organization will be developed very much by this dignified kind of competition, and chorus work will lx built up here in the city. The- second venture is still a competition, but on different lines. The public schools of the city, it is hoped, will compete in some large way, eluring the afternoon of the festival. Some large grounds will be chosen (probably the Boys' Field), anil the thought is to build a sounding board, and have similar grades of the public schools sing against each other; and then all, perhaps, unite in some common chorus. The details of these plans have not fully elcvelopcd, but more will be beard soon. Among those who can be saiel to l>e very much interested in the project are Mrs. Yarndley, Mrs. Tucker, who is in charge of the music of the public schools, and si-veral teachers of private eirganizations here in the city. Mr. A. T. Atkinson, Superintendent of Public Instruction, has lent his T. R. aiel anil support. 1 I C. J. DAY & CO. rmc groceries OLD Kona Coffee a Specialty REMEMBER that th» Hawaiian News Go., Ltd.

()n the third of February a parly was given to the larger boys anil girls eif the Settlement. In spite of rain about twenty of the thirty-six invited came to enjoy two hours of good fun, at the close- of which light refreshments were served. The following evening the young Chinamen of the town were entertained at the Workers' house. Games were arranged at a number of small tables, and heartily entered into by the young men. Cake anil Chinese tea, followed by Speeches, completed the evening, which was considered a success. Not a small part of the pleasure the occasion affonled was the visits to the houses anel shops for inviting the guests. Chinese New Years has offercel a suitable time for more calls on men, women and children. Twenty-four calls were made one day, and everywhere was found a warm welcome anil a hot dish of tea anel Chinese sweetmeats. Some of these naturally shy people were willing to have their photographs taken. If the films develop well the only regret will be that the bright colors of the holielay dresses could not be reproduced. A number of calls have been maele e>n 1 lawaiians anel Portuguese during the 13 Till-. FRIEND freshments at the Workers' home. Is not an evening of play for grown men a hit of practical education, as well as a wholesome recreation? Such an evening in an attractive Christian home, among people who have a live interest in the welfare of "the under dog," is a pleasure anel benefit to all concerned. For this reason it is that the social life at Alexander House is maele so important. !•:. A. 11.
