Have we not gone behind enough ? There are but two months left of th e fiscal year—enough time to wipe out the indebtedness. The gifts of the churches are not in yet and there are some excellent prospects in view of promised gifts. But "prospects" will not lift the debt. Let us believe God and put our hands right down in our pockets deep, T. R. Governor Carter's Triumph. ** * *' * * was facing practical bankruptcy. But after all the dominating factor in this bit of history was Governor Carter. From the outset of his career he has sensed the situation. The old regime had become simply intolerable. The Provisional Government dream of a ruling aristocracy, a benevolent despotism, the embodiment in politics of the old-time deacon's prayer, "God bless me and my wife, brother John and his wife, us four and no more," was shattered forever into atoms by the Organic Act. Those most affected thereby had been sulking the other hand, had found in the Act the promise of gratifying the long pent up passion for revenge. So things went from bad to worse and culminated in the financial deadlock. Governor Carter saw that both sides must begin to pull together as brothers. It was an intuition worthy of his missionary blood and marked him by nature of the true missionary stock. Himself the one man hardest hit by the old feud in the eleath of a member of his family, the holding out of the olive branch meant business. The natives realized this at once, and the response was genuine and enthusiastic. Governor Carter struck the keynote when he declared that he wanted to hear no more talk about "Hawaiians," because now all of us are Americans. Thank God the era of distrust is over, let us hope forever. We are part of the United States, members of the one great race that is slowly forming out of all human strains —the American race. The press announces that the Home Rule party is dead. Peace to its ashes. Let us now divide on issues of political theory and policy, the race hatchet buried forever on these fair Islands. All honor to our Governor for leading us to this happy consummation. Tory On March 22 Honolulu's leading elaily—which by the way is edited with a conspicuous ability that not a few mainland metropolitan journals of far greater reputation might well envy —expressed its sentiments as follows: "The Governor cannot afford to bet thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money that a Legislature which went back on all its pledges to them will keep its promises to him. But he has chosen to do so in the terms of a proclamation calling a special session and must make the best of it. So must the Of people who will foot the bills. course the experiment will fail. There cannot be grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles, and a Legislature which was redolent of scandal during its regular and extra sessions and which three grand juries in succession have denounced, cannot be depended on to reform the methods of spending Territorial money." The dominant element in the Territory, composed of its most thoughtful, public-spirited citizens, were almost unanimously in accorel with these sentiments. On April 6 the Legislature convened. It remained in session twelve, days, adjourning April 19. On the 14th the same journal we have quoted above said "The Legislature is redeeming itself. It has risen to the emergency and seems to be honestly striving to put the Territory on a businesslike basis." Two days later it added, "The work so far accomplished by the Legislature has been well done. The members have neglected no duty." The day after the adjournment it declared, "The record is very creditable." And indeed it was, for by saving the Land Court the Legislature improved upon the message of the Governor, which the Advertiser fitly characterized as "One of the most aelmirable Executive papers we have ever read." What was the cause of this unexpected denouement? Undoubtedly the sobering consideration that a failure to respond to the call of duty would discredit beyond recall the present generation of Hawaiians, and that Congress might find itself compelleel to curtail the privileges of manhood suffrage conferred on all the citizenship of these Islands, contributed not a little to the happy result. To this must be added the gravity of a situation in which the Terri- : No. c - Mills' Victory. The instinct of Young America in exalting athletics is one of the surest evidences of health in our national life. If the frightful pace set by the conditions of modern existence is to be maintained without annihilating the species or reducing the descendant of the civilized man of today to the level of the inheritor of the civilization of ancient Babylon or Egypt, it must be on the one hand by relieving the strain �THE FRIEND, 4 anel on the other by strengthening ideal consiilcratie>ns at the expense eif the mere' sordid claims of success. In the United State's the battle of present-day civilization is being fought out mure fiercely than any where else on the globe. Here among the picked representatives of the youth of the nation, in our colleges and universities, the problem mastered anil a solution is being found. On the side, of relief of strain the American answer to the question, how survive in this intense struggle, is athletics; on the side of ielealism its contribution is the passion for social service. In their developing manifestations both are intensely and characteristically American. When, therefore, in such a community as ours a victory after a well-contested game in the distinctively national sport of baseball like that of the Chinese boys of Mills Institute over the veterans of Kamehameha announced, thoughtful people, was who hael given no attention to the quiet little school off Fort street, awoke to the conviction that suelelcnly here' was an institution doing yeoman's work for the nation. The victory itself is quite out of the usual, for the Mills boys arc crowded in the center of town with no playground whatever, being condemned to finel a practice place here and there at any oelel spot which chance may offer. If it hael been Japanese who won, the surprise would not have been so great. These Chinese boys arc amone lis to stay. In a few years they will be citizens of the Union. It is of immense importance that they be true Americans. The game of April 18 showed them to be in the direct line of such an evolution. Hawaii is to be congratulated upon this sign of the wisdom of her wav of dealing with the problem of alien races. Honolulu, unlike San Francisco, welcomes the yellow brother, treats him like a brother, anel proceeds to make an American of him. Some day the nation will be converted to our way of ntanacring folks of differing skins but of one common humanity. Meantime our congratulations po out most heartily to the authorities of Mills Institute. Tt is time that Honolulu neonle awake to the consciousness that this moelest school is doing as fine a bit of work as is done anywhere in the Territory. Rumor has it that the Institute desicrns to move to larger onarlers. Tt certainly should do so. There ourdit to be no difficulty in niacin? this snlendid enterprise on a firm financial basis with an endowment of at least $100,000. Who will start off in this elirection? Bmtse FtrohJanpeAs gain. couraging returns seems Utopian, but the Japanese is nothing if ne>t given to surprises. A war threatening the very existence of his nation bursts upon him. At home nothing unusual is seen, the quiet every-elay round moves on.the country seems at peace while the pulse of the world is stirred over victories that would set any other people wild. Abroad, the Sunrise citizen responds to the call of his nation, swears off his little indulgences, such as take and tobacco, converts them into cash anel sends it home to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But this is not all. If he be a Christian he enlists for a sturdier campaign under his new Master. So here in Honolulu, when the white people's churches are bemoaning lessened resources and depleted audiences, the Japanese plan a forward movement in religious work, pledge larger contributions than ever, fit up a dwelling as an assembly hall (because money to build a meeting house is not to be thought of) equip it with an attractive reaeling room, in addition to a tasteful little audience chamber, and open it every day in the week for the business of winning men to Christ. When the Oahn Association met here the second week in April. the company of Christians who had done all this under the leadership of Rev. Mr. Okumura applied for organization, anel after full examination they were duly recognized by council as the Makiki Congregational church. Twice every month these enthusiastic citizens of Dai Nippon take up offerings to be divided equally between the Hawaiian F.oarel for Home Missions anel the American Board for Foreign Missions. The Friend congratulates the new church anel wishes it God spceel anil invites all its rcaelcrs to drop in at 1302 Kinau street some elav anel see this wideawake enterprise. Among its other developments is a children's church, modeleel on one such institution on the mainland.

During the past month we have hael enir authorities calleel to time twice feir lax enforcement of law, once by the Anti-Saloon League anel more latterly in a splendid anti-gambling sermon by Bishop Restanck. It will be remembered that our Governor came out characteristically with a ringin? endorsement of the demands made by the League. But what is more needed even than such an utterance is the stirring of the public conscience. Serious crimes against the person are becoming all too common in this community. Such offenses are fostereel by everything that tends to brutalize, and what is more beastializing in tendency than prize fighting? It is always cursed with the gambling spirit. Its very basis is usually a gamble, each man or his hackers putting up money to he won, the defeated contestant losing both his stake anel his reputation for prowess with absolutely no equivalent. It is always the pitting of manhood versus dollars, the fighters, the promoters and the spectators suffering a ioss of manhood in every encounter. No one who views a prize fight but throws away with his money something of his higher nature. Those who engineer it and those who act as principals likewise barter character for gold. The entire effect is evil, debauching boys anel young men, sowing the seeds of our national sin —the determination to get without giving. To attempt to suppress! gambling while licensing prize-fighting is but another exhibition of Mrs. Partington's mop. Revelations of a Card Catalog. The Hawaiian Boarel carel catalog of all the Japanese Christians connected with its work em these Islanels is in process of compilation, Several interesting disclosures are resulting.

Because of this fact the work in Hawaii may he maele to tell effectively in Japan.

The American Missioary Association was askeel specifically to take a hand in the wide enterprise of the Boarel among Chinese anel Japanese.

Word has come that the American Association regards with much favor the proposition of cooperation though it will be impossible for its secretary to accept the invitation of Central Union church. Undoubtedly this attitude of friendliness will mean no little financial assistance to us in the future. But it is likely that this will take the form of aid in enlarging our Japanese anel Chinese elepartments though this may not be possible for a year or two. We cannot therefore count upon the reduction of enir debt by assistance from either of these organizations. We are therefore thrown back upon our own resources. There can be ne> doubt that if all friends of the Hawaiian Boarel in the Territory should come to its assistance by giving generously, this debt could be cleareel off at once. If this be not done the work of the Boarel must be cut so that expenses may be adjusted to income. Alreaely this policy of curtailment has been' pursued ruthlessly. To reduce expenses further there remains no other alternative than to let some eif our force go. Already the Boarel has been compelled to forego the services of Messrs. Lcadington and Emerson.

In the cut clown of one thirel of its expenses eluring the last two years the Board has exhausted ability to go further in this line except by the still more ruthless lopping off of its office force.

The constituency of the Board therefore faces this alternative; either let the deficit of $12,000 be paid now and the Board find assurance in this guarantee of interest that it may go forward on its present basis or failing this let radical office curtailment be made sufficient to bring its expenditures next year into correspondence with its probable receipts. The constituency of the Board now has the opportunity to express its opinion as to which course must be pursued. Checks will mean "Go ahead." Silence will say "Cut deeper." OUR SCHOOL PROBLEM. Why should the Hawaiian Board and its constituency maintain schools for Hawaiians, Japanese and Chinese? This question is being seriously asked by many friends of the Board during this period of financial stringency. In answering it the subject must be divided. Under this I. As to Havmiians. head the objection to the Board schools assumes a twofold nature, the first of which puts the query, Do not the public schools suffice ? They do not. Last year a visit was made to the public school in P in company with the government physician. The doctor had a list of the pupils and asked the teacher to check off those who had already been vaccinated. The teacher did so, putting the letters "Es" opposite the names of the children who had passed through the doctor's hands. Finally the physician glanced over the paper and suggested that "Yes" might be more correct. This school is clearly an exception, but for the Hawaiians in P it certainly does not suffice. Again the government schools do not and cannot furnish the adequate industrial training required by young Hawaiians. Furthermore our Board schools aim to educate Christian leaders. The story of the graduates of the Hilo, Lahaina, Kohala, Makawao, and Kawaiahao schools shows that, notwithstanding instances which dishearten, this function has been performed with distinguished success. The record of upright men and saintly women who have graduated from these institutions is a notable one. Without them the Hawaii of to-day would not have been possible. But—and here comes the second line of objection—why not leave all this work to the Kamehameha schools? For two reasons, one of which is that Kamehameha is crowded now and cannot care for any more. To shut our schools would be to send nearly all their pupils back to their homes. The second reason is that a school comes to possess a character of its own which none other can have. Such a character is of slow growth, the sue- — — cession of unselfish teachers and of faithful students and alumni giving it a spirit peculiar to itself. To sacrifice this spirit is a distinct loss to the world. No true Vale or Harvard graduate would for a moment favor the suspension of an Amherst, a Williams or a Wesleyan because forsooth the larger institutions could accommodate the additional students and so promote economy. The United States would be a serious loser by any such fatal procedure. No, our schools have entered into the life blood of this Territory, and to abandon them would be treason to the higher life of Hawaii. Out of just such little struggling academies all over the United States have come many of the great leaders of our nation. 2. As to Our Asiatic Brethren. Farsighted Japanese and Chinese see clearly that large numbers of the children of their races, born here, are destined never to return to their parents' native land. Some may go for special work in teaching, preaching or business, but most of them are being unfitted by the very conditions of their training here for successful careers in Asia. They are nativeborn Americans and will become citizens of their mother land. No careful student of the problem who knows China or Japan will for a moment endeavor to controvert this proposition. Most of these children are here to stay. They attend our public schools, as they should, and thus grow into American ways and habits of thought. But unfortunately Hawaii is not in close touch with the great American public, and the government schools of this Territory, excellent though they are, cannot for a moment be compared with those of the mainland as nurseries of the spirit of the nation. Our public schools need to be supplemented if these children are to grow up loyal, intelligent citizens. Unfortunately they are being supplemented ; but how ? So far as the Japanese are concerned, this work is done by Buddhist schools. The Japanese are intensely loyal, and cannot bear to see their children lose the use of their native tongue. To this feeling Hawaii is bound to owe much in the future. We shall need here for the next ioo years at least a large body of citizens conversant with Japanese as well as English. But the Buddhist school in Hawaii is a protest against Americanism. Forced by the nature of the case to secure support by appeal to prejudice, it commits the mistake of arousing in the hearts of young and old the age-long anti-foreign spirit which for centuries kept Japan out of touch with its sister nations. The flag of the Buddhist school is the red sun in the white field; its motto is distrust of the foreigner, its chief lesson is to keep alive the spirit of Japan at the expense of the American spirit. These schools are educating American citizens, who have no instinctive love for America. Now the patriotic, educated Japanese Christian gentlemen in the service of the Board as evangelists believe this a shortsighted policy. Here and there on the plantations they have felt themselves compelled to protest against this narrow mindedness by themselves organizing schools to teach the children of their race Japanese; but these schools make loyalty to the United States a cardinal virtue. Their principle is not "love Japan less," but "love America more." The children they train are as ardent in their affection for the land of their parents as their fellows in the Buddhist schools, but they also yield to no child, white, yellow or brown, in their devotion to their own native country. In these schools the Stars and Stripes are intertwined wTith the emblem of the Rising Sun. The pupils sing with equal ardor "Kimi ga yo" and "America." Best of all, they are taught to grow up as Christians. In both Buddhist and Christian schools the teaching is done outside of public school hours. The schools which the Board helps maintain are of this order. In two instances—Honolulu and Honomu —the schools have a boarding department and care for children who in the camps would be exposed to most serious evil influences. These two institutions are doing a work the results of which for the future good of this Territory are simply incalculable. Latterly the Puunene plantation, realizing the fatuity of cooperating with Buddhists, as so many corporations are doing, has assisted the Japanese to build and equip a first-class institution there on condition that the teacher be a Christian. The Board has by request temporarily placed a university graduate at Puunene, and will secure as his successor a couple of trained workers from Japan. These will be entirely supported by the plantation management and its Japanese employees. In all this school work for Japanese the expense of the Board is never heavier than the item of the support of teachers, and often not even that, the Japanese gladly bearing all or part of the salaries. Unfortunately these plantation schools are as yet few in number and in the towns need to be supplemented by other instrumentalities. The best possible agency for larger communities isthesettlement. Of these there are two in connection with the work of our Board, one at Wailuku, the other in Hilo at Waiakea. Here in Honolulu the Japanese Christian Club and Mills Institute serve the same purpose. In fact the Board plans to have every church on the Islands under its care a social center. In �these Settlements and centers all sorts of enterprise calculated to foster the upbuilding of character and the inculcation of Americanism such as boys' brigade or drill work, citizenship clubs, athletics, industrial classes anel the exercise of direct religious influence are maintained. For Chinese boys and girls Hilo Boarding School and Mills Seminary, Kohala, Makawao and Kawaiahao, all of which also welcome Japanese students, are doing excellent work in helping to prepare an intelligent Christian citizenship for the Hawaii of the future. Let any doubter make a careful, firsthand study of the schools and settlements connected with the Hawaiian Board and he will pass through an experience analagous to that of the writer who, beginning with no little skepticism as to the value of maintaining so extensive an educational department, has step by step been forced to the conclusion that the work done in this line constitutes the Boarel's first claim upon the support of public spirited citizens and that every other branch of its many-sided enterprise might better be sacrificed than this D. S. one. A VOICE FROM THE ANTIPODES Newleigh, Private Hotel, Mandeville, Ja., March 28, 1904. To the Manager of The Friend: It has given me much satisfaction to read your editorial in the March number anent Gov. Carter. It places him in a light that I think every well wisher of Hawaii's best interests would have him to be. A friend of the people, and yet conservative as to the means by which the best interests can be conserved and carried out. If he can by his advice and his sympathy so gain the confidence of the voters as to secure a respectable, responsible Legislature he will do much to relieve Hawaii from the stigma under which she rests before the people of this country, who wish to see the Island Government occupy the position that the friends here of the now Territory of the U. S. would have it hold, as the fruit of all that has been done and expended to give Hawaii an honorable position before the world by our people. The seed so faithfully sown by the mission fathers should bear a rich harvest of American principles. Yours truly, GORHAM D. GILMAN. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII. By 4. S. E. Bishop. The door opened by the death of Kaiiichamcha and the Abolition of Idolatry. At the same time that the movement was culminating in New England in consequence of the Obookiah call to sentl the Gospel to Hawaii, another movement was in progress in the contemplated mission field which wonderfully removed the chief obstacles to the entrance and success of that mission. Never was there a more marked or conspicuous instance of the interposing of the Divine Hand to prosper God's work. The greatest obstacle to be feared by the Christian missionaries was in the inveterate attachment of the aged king to his ancient religion. They came to supplant that religion by the law anel worship of the one true and Living God. To this purpose they had every reason to expect the most determined hostility of the imperious king. To their woneler and gratituele the first news they heard on arriving was that Kamehameha was dead; the tabus were abolished; the idols were destroyed. "Kamehameha died," says Alexaneler, "May 8, 1819, at the age of 82 years, and in the faith of his ancestors. His faults were those of the age anel society in which he lived, and both morally and mentally he stood far above the chiefs of his times." When dying he humanely refused the proposal of the priests to sacrifice a number of human victims in oreler to prolong his life. We may humbly hope that such a humane, though heathen, soul found grace and mercy from the teneler Father of Mankind. During the following months the Tabu system crumbled to ruin under the powerful influence of the queen Premier Kaahumanu, seconded by the Queen-Mother Keopuolani. They gradually persuaded the heedless and dissolute young king, Liholiho, to join them in destroying the tabus by publicly feasting with the queens and a large company of both sexes. Seeing no evil follow, the multitutles rejoiced in the breaking of the cruel restrictions. The whole system of idol-worship fell to ruin jointly with the tabus. The high priest, Hewahewa, set the example of setting fire to the idols and their sanctuaries. Under Kaahumanu's lead, there followed a grand conflagration of idols throughout the Islands, with a jubilee of revelry. The nation stood without religion or gods. Yet the old gods had one valiant champion, Kekuaokalani, the nephew of Kamehameha, to whom he had committed the care of his trusted war-god, Kukailimoku. This prince, with a considerable following, revolted against the profane and desecrating king and queens, but was destroyed in a fierce battle at Kuamoo, four miles north of Kaawaloa, in Kona. This was about Dec. 20, 1819, 7 THE FRIEND while the voyaging missionaries were off the coast of Brazil. It was a time of great convulsie>n and fears throughout the nation. A prominent ageel native of Lahaina, Poholopu, told tire present writer in 1881, how his parents prevented him from visiting the beach in August, 1819, from elreael of the public commotion anel war then in progress on Hawaii. Poholopu was the only available witness to testify to the exact location of Dc Freycinet's masonry base for pendulum observations at the elate named. It had been deemed necessary to repeat such observations on the same spot. The then youth Poholopu saw the spot but once, owing to the fears of his parents. So when the Gospel arriveel, the great revolution was complete anel the eloor was fully openeel for the new light. Leaeling causes of that momentous revolution were familiarity with foreign visitors, knowledge of their contempt for heathen superstitions, anil the report of the abandonment of the same religion by the kindreel people of the Society Islands. But these causes were unavailing as long as the oltl conqueror livcel. Kamehameha was profoundly attached to the ancient religion. Worship of the old gods hael been the keynote e>f his policy and his success. And it fe>nneel an essential part of his policy of government. He ruled his people largely through their superstitious fears. The priests were his chief allies in the exercise of arbitrary power. For many centuries kingcraft anel priestcraft had been helping each other, while priestcraft hael been developed anel fortifieel by powerful importations of fresh cults from Tahiti. Had Kamehameha lived, the Gospel could hardly have found entrance to Hawaii. It would have at once collieleel with the king's establisheel policy, and with the obstinacy of olel age. Ineleeel the natural tendency of Christian Light was to restrict and impair arbitrary anil despotic power. It is well known how diligently two later kings, Kamehameha Y. and Kalakaua, sought to resist constitutional restrictions by re-establishing the superstitious fears of the Hawaiians in promoting and systematizing the ancient sorcery, and so bringing the voters into political bondage. The old conqueror was adept in this kingcraft, and could not have surrendered to Christianity.. His death was a provielential event, timed to meet the incoming of the new teachers. And their arrival was still farther timely as promptly occupying the vacated field of religion before the antagonistic religion of Rome coulel take possession. Forerunners of that religion had already reached Hawaii.

In the wonderfully kind and wise Providence of God, everything wrought for the speedy Redemption of Hawaii. MEETING OF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. ANNUAL Rev. W. D. Westervelt. A goodly gathering of interested temperance workers filled the Y. M. C. A. hall Thursday evening, April 7, to elect officers and listen to reports and addresses of the third annual meeting of the Honolulu Anti-Saloon League. Rev. P. M. Snodgrass of the Christian church reael the minutes of last meeting, and Rev. E. S. Timoteo offered prayer in Hawaiian. Dr. Mitamura reporteel for the Japanese Mr. W. A. Temperance Societies. Bowen presented the Treasurer's report, which was very encouraging. No effort had been put forth toward securing large subscriptions, yet all expenses had been met and enough money is in sight to pay the probable expenses of the coming year. The laws of Hawaii pertaining to the use of intoxicating liquors, The History of Temperance in the Hawaiian Islands, by Mrs. Whitney, translated into Hawaiian; "Temperanza." a booklet in Portuguese by Rev. A. Y. Soares; "The Teaching of' the Apostles," translated into Hawaiian by W. D. Westervelt, and a number of leaflets have been widely cirThe retiring culated eluring the year. president in his address called attention to the strong position taken by the missionary fathers in regard to immorality and intemperance. The fact was emphasized that the failure to heed the warning concerning the two greatest foes of the people was bringing rapid death upon the Hawaiians as a race, and that both of these enormous evils needed to be recognizeel as the deadly enemies they are in truth. The apathy of the public toward the continued decimation of the Hawaiians was pointed out as one of the most serious hinelrances in the way of bringing life, rather than death, into the land. Rev. Doremus Scudeler, D. D., delivered the address of the evening on "Our Warfare." After referring to personal experiences in the Eastern States, he discussed various methods of providing substitutes for the saloon ; then strongly advocated "local option," which coulel be so applied as to be a never-ending warfare, creating discussion and agitation. The education of children by this means was one of the best of all the results. The struggle of the temperance people against the saloon, and the strife of the saloon to maintain its hold upon the appetites and pocket books of the community, necessarily bring all the different phases of the temperance question before the children and youth. It is a splendid education both of mind and character. The young people form the habit of having pronounced opinions and of being able to give the reasons therefor. Primarily the effort put forth is to close saloons. Nevertheless, the education of the people is probably of more real benefit. Dr. Scudder closed by mentioning the well-known fact that intoxicants are shipped to the different plantations, and then emphasized earnestly the illustration, given by Dr. Mitamura, earlier in the evening, of a Japanese contractor on one of the plantations who kept sake entirely out of the camp under his control. These small club saloons on the plantations are illegal, and ought not to have the connivance of the owners and managers of plantations. PORTUGUESE PROGRESS. The Easter service at our church was well attended anel the Easter music by the choir was very well rendered. Although we did not have such an elaborate programme as usual on such occasions, the Sunday school Easter service which consisted of special songs anel the reaeling of Easter stories, was enjoyed by the large number present. We are now preparing to observe Children's Day, and as this service will take place during the Sunday school hour, half past two o'clock, we woulel be pleased to have our friends visit our school. We continue our street and cottage meetings. Have just returned from one, held in a house which was once a grocery store on Luso street. The doors and windows on the street were filled with chilelren and grown people. We were agreeably surprised to see one who was formerly most bitter against us, listening attentively at one of the windows. A very pretty wedding was solemnized at our church on the 18th inst. Miss May Melim and Mr. George Madeira were the happy couple. The bride has been one of "our girls" almost from the beginning of our mission. Many Roman Catholics were present and were impressed with the marriage service. very bail roads the attenelance was somewhat smaller than usual. The time was elevoteel mostly to a study of special portions of the Sermon on the Mount, sermon outlines anel criticism, and reports from the churches. Regular quarterly Sunday School exhibitions were helel on the last Sunday in March at Lihue, Kapaa anel Hanalei, and indicated much activity and faithful work in Sunday-school matters. The Haena church is to have an individual communion service to be "just like yours at Lihue." Such is the influence of example! The various Kauai Sunday schools are making preparations for a monster Sunday school exhibition at Lihue in June, in connection with the annual meeting of the Evangelical Association. Special Easter services of a responsive and musical character largely were held at Lihue, Koloa and Elecle, and were largely attendeel. Mr. J. C. Davis, principal of the Hanalei government school, deserves much credit for his efforts to improve the condition of the Hanalei .Sunday school. Much beloved by the children, he has great influence over them, and has largely increased the efficiency of the school. The people of Kalihikai are patiently working away on their plan of a chapel to meet local neeels, anel it begins to look as though their efforts would be crowned by success. On the evening of March 27 the "Wainiha club" gave a very unique entertainment in the Hanalei church for the benefit of the Haena church. It consisted largely of original "tableaux," many of them extravagantly but unconsciously amusing. Among more modern halfwhite adaptations, there were some historic and mythical Hawaiian scenes of uncommon interest. As the aelmission was only 25 cents anel the entertainment lasted till midnight, people got their moneys worth. The club has been requested to give the entertainment later in Lihue. J. M. L. A WELL-EARNED VACATION Before our next issue Rev. E. W. Thwing and family will be on their way to the coast to enjoy a vacation of three months. For four years Mr. Thwing has labored in season and out to advance the interests of the Chinese work, and the Board has fittingly voiced its appreciation of his faithfulness by granting him leave of absence. KAUAI NOTES We trust he and his family will enjoy The Kauai "Ministers' School" met on their rest time most thoroughly ane the 18th of March in regular bimonthly return in September full of health and session. Owing to inclement weather and renewed vigor. �FIFTEEN YEARS AGO I wandered to the grog shop, Tom, I stood beside the bar, And drank a bowl of lemonade and smoked a bad cigar; The same old kegs anel jugs were there, the ones we used to know When we were on the round-up, Tom, some fifteen years ago. I asked about our old-time friends, those cherished sporty men, And some were in the poorhouse, Tom, and some were in the pen. And one, the one we likeel the best, the hangman laid him low; The world is much the same, dear Tom, as fifteen years ago. New crowds line up against the bar, anel call for crimson ink; New hands are trembling as they pour the stuff they shouldn't drink ; But still the same old watchword rings, "This round's on me, you know!" The same old cry of doom we heard some fifteen years ago. I wandered to the churchyard, Tom, and there I saw the graves Of those who used to drown themselves in red fermented waves; And there were women sleeping there, where grass and daisies grow, Who wept and died of broken hearts some fifteen years ago. And there were graves where children slept, have slept for many a year, Forgetful of the woes that markeel their fitful sojourn here ; And 'neath a tall, white monument, in death there lieth low, The man who used to sell the booze some fifteen years ago. J. S. Holden in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. AMONG THE BOYS. Mr. Henry Martin, whose picture appeared in a recent number of the Friend is somewhat of a mystery. He cabled his acceptance of the position as head of the Boy work in the city and a letter following confirmed the cable. In this letter he stated that his plan was to come the last of March. Since that time no word of the absent has been heard. Attempts have been made to get in communication with him which have so far proved ineffectual. The management of the Boys' Clubs have given up the expectation of his coming and have attempted to notify him to that effect. Days.—Notwithstanding the I Field 'very bad weather which prevailed almost up to the sixteenth of the month there was a large crowd to witness the Field Day program, and they appeared to be much pleased with the result. Of course Kamehameha had a comparatively easy victory, but this was as it should be, for the boys had worked conscientiously and earned the results. The cup, which goes to the winner every year until some club will have won it three years in succession, has already been left at Kamehameha. The occasion of the presentation was the following Saturelay night, when the boys haei a little jollification to celebrate Kamehameha Victorious. The Boys' Field Day.—This was even more of a success from our point of view. Five Boys' Clubs took part in a double Field Day on the 23d oi April; the juniors running off their events first which were followed by those of the seniors. For the juniors the Palama Club won and for the seniors a club called the River Sides. A tremendous stimulus to athletic sports has been given by this meet and next year there will be twice the amount of interest which will extend to the Field Day of the young men of the city. Among the features of the Boys' Meet was the absence of "kicking," freedom from offensive language and the successful effort to keep tobacco off the grounds as far as the boys are concerned. As to finances, the management can report that the results were satisfying. There is still a elebt of about $ioex> on the fence anel grandstand which it is hoped will be lifted this year. The method of raising this money is largely by means of a series of entertainments besides receipts fremi the field itself. To be sure it is still hoped that the field will be largely free,—certainly as far as the boys of the city are concerned. Still the running expenses must be met, and the present thought is to charge a small sum for scats in the grand Stand whenever games of any importance are to be played, For instance, the games of the Junior league may be played there. In that case admission to the grounds wijl be free, but for seats in the stand there will be charged each person, say the sum of 10 cents. The entertainments spoken of whereby money is to be raised, are first, the Open Air Concert at Kamehameha; half the proceeds are to go for the above purposes. The second events constitute the beginning of a May Musical Festival in Honolulu. The "Congress of Song" as it is felicitously called, has been launched under the auspices of the Oahu College, with Prof. Barton in charge of the music. Choruses from Oahu College, Kamehameha Manual and Girls' Schools, Kawaiahao Seminary, the High School, the Normal School and Mills Institute, making an aggregate strength of about 400 in the grand choruses. This is the largest body of singers brought together in the Islands, certainly of late 9 THE FRIEND years. The second event of the Festival is the Competitive Singing of the Public Schools of the city, under the efficient direction eif Mrs. Tucker. This event is to be an OUt-of-door event anel a stanel has been built to accommodate the 6eTO children who will sing together anel in competition. Perhaps this is the most important attempt to provide out-of-ele)e>r singing ever trieel here anel under the most picturesque contlitions. It is probable that the Boys' Fielel will be well croweleel on that occasion (the afternoon of the 28th of May) anel the effort is being made to provide seats feir all. The stand is being arrangeel se) that a chorus of 100 will be heard elistinctly all around that part of the spacious ground and the 600 will be heard anyhow. So the new grounds will subserve very wide purposes, but in all cases the boys and girls of the city will be directly benefited. Every afternoon boys swarm all over the field and the difficulty is going te> be to accommodate different clubs with elates in which to play their I ■ R. games. NEW DEPARTURE AT HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. The experiment, of the formation of a class for Bible study, composed of the English-speaking portion of emr school, comprising about fifty students, is proving a successful one anel alreaely showing aelvanccment. The exposition of the Gospel of John with illustrations from nature and science was first undertaken, memorizing the principal verse or verses in each chapter. The eliscussion of any controversial or doubtful points arc always allowed anel entered into with much zeal by the stuelents anel finally settleel by some passage of Scripture, which is always at hand, if sought for in the right spirit. The commandments also have been memorized. Finally we have taken up the origin of the Bible as we have it in its present form and more particularly of the New Testament. Some students have become interested to the extent of continuing the study out of class and through the influence of right living and right speaking have persuaded a number of students to attend this school and have also approached some men and women in our vicinity and dealt kindly with them concerning the New Life in Christ Jesus. We can heartily recommend this course to any school whatsoever. The search for truth and the benefit to the moral life tends to raise the school's* standard educationally as well as spiritually. L. C. L. �THE FRIEND 10 The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society The notes prepared for The Friend last month, were not all printed owing to the large amount of Other matter, anel are continued in this. Our space is elevoteel largely this May number to memorials of the departed members. The last month's account ended with the notice of eleath of Mrs. B. B. Bowman, better known on these Islanels as Mrs. Claudius B. Andrews, who left here (a wielow) in the year 1877. A few words from her obituary printed in the Michigan paper follow: "Saniantha Gilson Andrews Bowman, was born in Vermont, June 5, 1828. One of eleven children, she was educated at Mount Holyoke Seminary, coining directly under the personal influence of that epoch-making woman, Mary Lyon. Mrs. Bowman, in her practical sagacity anel moral earnestness, was of the Mary I yon type, without her austerity. Bef< re the Civil War, Samantha followeel In r sister, Ann, a teacher at Port GibRon Academy, in the State of Mississippi.'' Her health was delicate, and on that account, when her sister, Ann, was married to the Rev. C. B. Anelrews, a missionary of the American Board of Foreign Missions, and they were about to return to the Hawaiian Islands, they brought Samantha with them. She lived with them, a member of their family, a number of years. She went back to her New England home for a few years, but returned in 1863, after the death of her sister, and became the second Mrs. C. B. Andrews, taking charge of her sister's children, and greatly assisting him in his work of education of Hawaiian girls. Mr. Andrews died in 1876 on the ocean, on his return from a visit to the States in the Centennial year, and Mrs. Andrews left the next year and resided in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for several years. In 1887 she was married to Mr. B. B. Bowman, who had been an early suitor of her's in the South. Her second husband elieel early in July, 1903.

Condensed from an account by Mrs. H. Lyman. Nettie One of the brightest spots in Hilo is over in the Waiakea district, the most destitute and needy part of the city. A little over a year ago a few of the business men realized the necessity of doing something positive to stem the tide of evil in that locality and with wise foresight determined to meet the situation by organizing a Christian Settlement. Putting their hands in their pockets and calling upon no one outside of Hilo except the Hawaiian Board they erected a suitable building and called as Head Worker, Miss lola A. Wight. Here various departments were soon opened and filled to overflowing. Religious needs are met in a Sunday School with average attendance of 68 and Sunday evening service under the supervision of Rev. S. L. Desha. The reading room serves as a counter attraction to the saloon. A very varied industrial department trains girls and women to sew and weave, turning the proceeds of sales back to the individualworkers as incentive to greater faithfulness and to the cultivation of thrift. A propaganda of money saving has also been inaugurated. Mothers' meetings have already succeeded in brightening the outlook of many homes. Music and Delsarte number their devotees by scores.

Gathered by a Nature Man The Honolulu Bible Training School is winning its way to the position of an assured institution. The two divisions iii which the school has crystallized differ materially. The fifty who gather Sunday mornings in Kawaiahao church have as faculty Messrs. Brown, Richards and Woods and Mrs. Brown. Its members are for the most part young people who have never served as teachers in Sundayschools. The Saturday evening division, twenty strong, now gathers in the Y. W. C.

It is easy to see why so many Hawaiians have drifted out of the churches. The reason is because the churches are living in the last century while the present generation of young Kanakas has been educated into the standards of the present.

Honolulu �THE FRIEND 14 The treatment in such cases is well understood. The native doctor is called in. The people know as well as he what must be done; but the spell is known to him alone, and in the spell lies the power. He gets a chcta, an instrument used for winnowing, anil shaped like the square flat lid of a basket, and on this he sprinkles the sacred ashes. Then in the name of each of the gods that rule the winds from the four or eight corners e>f the earth he demanels a money gift, and, of course, when operations are over, in the name of the same gods he pockets the cash. If the person be rich, silver coins must be produced} if poor, copper will suffice. Ihe coins are put on the four corners of the chela. Next, the image of some god (usually Hanaman, the monkey god) is drawn upon the ashes. When all is ready, the potent spell is pronounced, and the ashes thrown over the patient. Her inactivity ceases at once. She starts up, and rushes at her full pace to the outside of the village, followed closely by the doctor, carrying a knife, and also, probably, by a crowd of excited, shouting people. Having passed the village boundary, she throws herself on the ground, anel without delay the doctor seizes her by the hair, and cries to the demon: 'Where art thou? Where art thou?" "In the stomach!" comes the reply; but the voice is the patient's. "Where art thou now?" "In the breasts,"the demon answers. "Where now?" "In the throat." Where now?" "In the head." "Wilt thou come up into the hair?" is the next demand. "Yes." "Where art thou now?" "In the top-knot." That is all that is wanted. The elector grasps the top-knot and cuts the hair off. Then the woman rises and goes home in her right mind. "PIDGIN" ENGLISH All through the East is spoken a mongrel dialect known as "Pidgin" English. The following are amusing specimens. The verb "to be" seems to have no place in pidgin, the term "blong" seeming to answer most purposes of such a verb in all its forms. As for example, instead of saying, "Is it raining?" you would ask, "Blong rain?" The answer would be, "Blong lain," or "No blong lain," as the case might be. The Chinaman has great difficulty in pronouncing the letter "r," and invariably gives the sound of the letter "1" in place of it. He never answers "yes" or "no." He repeats your question in the affirmative or negative as a statement. "Have got" sometimes takes the place of the verb "to be," and also means in pidgin, as it does in English. possession. Thus you wouid ask, as earlier illustrated, "Master have got?" for "Is the master or manager in?" "Have got," "No have got," as the answer, inelicatcs clearly presence or nonpresence. "My have got too muchee fiend," means simply, "I have very many "Too" is always used instead eif "very ;" thus, "too muchee" meaning "very much or many." The description eif an elevator, eir "lift," in pielgin is very interesting. "One piecee small house any fashion can walkee. Spose be wanchee walkee friends."
