ThanksHeartily The Friend desires to call especial attention to the generous action both of the Business Department and of the Editor of The Advertiser in their enthusiastic support of the entertainment entitled Old Japan given on the evening of July 22 for the benefit of The Christian Club House on Ktiktii street. Notice after notice gratuitously printed expounded the various parts of the program and gave the reading public an intelligent knowledge-of what was to be presented. Those who attended were able to understand the meaning of what they saw and consequently enjoyed the occasion hugely. The Daily Press of the United States is strictly for business and that explains its excellence. But some of the noblest charities of the country owe their existence to its disinterested love of good things. It is a pleasure to record one more of the many kindly services of our own local daily and to tell one of our good friends how grateful we are for help that was both needed and generously accorded. T. K. These words are equivalent to those which head this column and being meant for our Japanese friends will be fully understood. Side by side with The Advertiser in making '*( )ld Japan" a success stood the Hawaii Shimpo and Yamato Sliimbiiii. As soon as they learned that the project was to afford Japanese gentlemen a pleasant club house embodying gymnasium, recreation, assembly and bathing departments on a broad humanitarian basis these enterprising journals with their characteristic enthusiasm began to champion the undertaking. In every possible way they called upon Japanese residents to rally to the support of the movement as a feature of larger life for their countrymen in this city. Their editors clearly perceived that if such an institution could be allowed to demonstrate its usefulness it must of necessity prove the pioneer to others throughout the Islands. One of the chief features of life in Japan is its many good times. There is much of hard work, there is also the relief of holidays, picnics, excursions, religious feasts, mountain climbing and the like. These the poorest enjoy freely. But Hawaii No. 8 is an endless treadmill with very little to relieve the monotony. No wonder the laborers move about constantly- The Christian Club House aims to help satisfy the craving for relaxation which is so strong and so attractive a passion among the Japanese. The Japanese editors of Honolulu have perceived and appreciated all this to the full and hence their active support of the entertainment whose object it was to place the club house on a firm financial footing. We thank them most heartily for this cordial spirit of co-operation. Strikes Again Waipahu seems to have reaped the whirlwind. Having provoked its Japanese laborers to a justifiable strike and having deservedly lost, just as we foresaw and at the time predicted it gave encouragement to agitators to provoke needless conflicts. The ignorant Japanese is especially prone to the disease of mass infection. Excitable and lacking judgment he is very easily moved to mob action. Like all ignorant folk he does not know when he has gone for enough nor when to stop. He is a rare pre\- for conscienceless agitators.. The only wise method is to treat such a laborer with absolute fairness and determined firmness and to give no just cause for an industrial conflict. For if he have right on his side and as a consequence wins one battle, he fancies himself stronger than he is and is led to provoke contests where right is against him. Though certain to lose such a battle, it may cost much to beat him. Waipahu has found this out. Its manager deserves praise for the wise and forceful manner in which he brought the strike to an end. We are glad to record that the local Buddhist priest came out frankly and helpfully on the right side in the late strike. Buddhist influence in Hawaii has not always proved a peaceful industrial factor- It is pleasant to record this hopeful change of base. We trust Waipahu will soon add to its conservative peace-guaranteeing forces by securing a resident Christian Evangelist. For we have known of many instances where a brave upright Christian leader has averted or led his countrymen to corclude strikes which had no real cause. �4 THE FRIEND Good Service And it was Good A letter from Dr. Kincaid reports delightful experiences in connection with the delivery of the baccalaureate sermon at lowa College, the reception of his doctorate at Williams where Edward Everett Hale was a companion in honor and the graduation of his daughter at Smith College. The Doctor's eloquence is being much sought after, invitations coming to him to supply some of the larger and more important pulpits of the East. In this connection he finds opportunity to speak golden words for Hawaii. Believing that in so doing Dr. Kincaid is rendering these Islands a very important service, Central Union Church has voted to grant him leave of absence for the month of August so as to enable him to accept a few more of the requests to speak which are being showered upon him. The present supply of its pulpit will be continued another four weeks. We have been favored with the advance sheets of the Annual Report of the Evangelical Association which bears the above title. It is a handsome piece of typography departing from time honored usage in being adorned with cuts. Both the Gazette Company and the Robert Grieve firm have had a hand in its production and it reflects credit upon the excellent half tone plates made by the former and the artistic press work of the latter. The work of the year is told in detail by a score or more of those busy on the field- It is a record of real achievement and shows well the many sided enterprises maintained by the Board. For the first time in years ministerial standing appears relieved of the anomaly of double membership here and on the Mainland. The report will repay careful reading. The Friend's Travels These are by no means confined to these Islands. A recent issue of Mission News published in Tokyo quotes a couple of our editorials while Dr. A. E. Dunning Editor of the Congrcgationttlist, which bears the reputation of being the best denominational newspaper published in America, writes as follows: "I have noticed lately that we do not get the Friend regularly and find that it is not on our exchange list. I have ordered The Congregationatist sent it and please see that the exchange is made.'' It is not often that a tiny sheet like ours coming from out the mid-Pacific meets with the request to exchange its 12 annual numbers with the 52 issues of such an able widely read periodical as the Congregationalist of Boston. We are glad to think that the work out here is thought of amid the busy stir of New England 5,000 miles to the cast and the warlike enthusiasm of The Sunrise Empire 4,000 miles to westward. WORTH REMEMBERING. Not only is this true of the face above but also of the record of service accomplished in one brief year at Kohala Seminary by Mrs. Olive L. Bristol. It is like a page from a fairy tale—the story of what was done in reorganizing this school, erecting new buildings notwithstanding diminished sources of support and bringing the year to an end without debt- Mrs. Bristol has been called back to the mainland and Hawaii will miss her presence sorely but her work will abide. Kohala's best aloha will go with her to her future sphere of labor and influence. Suffrage for Hawaiians Elsewhere we print in its entirety an editorial which appeared lately in the Advertiser. We do this because we wish it to be read, by our subscribers on the Mainland who do not see our daily paper, Those who have read The Friend for the past seven or eight months do not need to be told that we believe the Advertiser to be right and Professor Moses in error on this matter of the ballot for the Hawaiian people. There were good reasons in human nature for the swing to the extreme by Hawaiians upon the completion of annexation. If after the events of the reigns of their last two sovereigns and the circumstances attending the revolution and final absorption of this Ter- ritory by the United States there had been no resentment and ill feeling, it would have been a miracle. But the past seven months have shown that these gentle Islanders are susceptible to reason and responsive to appeals to their higher natures. It looks now as though Hawaii were to prove the proposition that given the proper environment and training a people may be fitted to participate in their own self government within a reasonably short time. Too much must not be read into this statement. Hawaii is remarkaly well conditioned for the experiment being tried here. It contains a relatively large proportion of highly educated Americans who passionately love the Islands and will sacrifice dearly to make them what they once have been and again will be—the best governed spot on the globe. The Puritan element is dominent here—not the narrow Puritanism of bygone ages but the healthy, forward-moving, liberal-minded Puritanism of the 20th century that loves righteousness and means to practice brotherhood. An unusually large percentage of the wealth of this community is in the hands of men with missionary ancestry who are not ashamed of their forbears and mean to carry on their work to perfection. Under such conditions Hawaii is the safest place in the world to attempt the experiment of granting the suffrage to a people lately out of barbarism. It is worth while conducting such an experiment and while caution would have dictated a slower policy Congress did wisely in acting as the majority demanded and giving the question of a wide open suffrage a thorough test here. In case of failure little harm will have been done, for at any moment Congress may reverse its action. For the present, however, Hawaii must be suffered to work out its own salvation without any changes in the suffrage features of its organic act. Six months ago it would have been difficult to write thus, but the pendulum had then reached the extreme end of its course, affairs were as bad and the outlook as dark as they well could be. It has begun to swing towards better things and the dictate of wisdom is "let well enough alone." A GreatLoss Before the end of this month our brother beloved, Rev. George L. Pearson, expects to visit the Mainland to attend the Methodist Conference to which he belongs. We rejoice with him in the prospective vacation. He deserves a good season of rest. Few men in any line of effort here bear heavier responsibilities, accomplish more or better work �5 THE FRIEND. or spend themselves more widely and helpfully than the pastor of the Honolulu M. E. Church. We understand that it is the purpose of the conference not to send Mr. Pearson back to the Islands. If this prove to be the case, it will be a sad blow to religious interests here. For Mr. Pearson is not only a fine preacher, a devoted pastor, a public spirited citizen exerting wide influence for every good cause but he is a Twentieth Century Christian leader, carrying no narrow minded denominational bee in his bonnet. This does not mean that he is not a Methodist loyal to the core, always seeking to advance the interests of his branch of Christendom. For he is one of the wisest and most successful leaders connected with Methodism which it has been our good fortune ever to meet, and we have known distinguished churchmen like Bishop Foss, Dr- Buckley and others of similar fame. But Mr. Pearson believes and practices brotherhood in his relations with members of other communions. He has farsightedly built up a strong aggregation of Korean and Japanese churches on these Islands and is singularly beloved by all the evangelists and Christians from the Empire and Kingdom across the sea. It is not every one who is fitted to supervise a work among Japanese, but Mr. Pearson has proved his possession of rare faculties for influencing these charming people. It is bad policy to exchange for an unknown quantity a man so remarkably gifted for his work as the Presiding Elder of this Territory. We trust the conference will think twice before consenting to move him elsewhere, for we doubt whether any Mainland position can offer as wide opportunity for good as that which he now holds. Waialua Equipped One of the dominant features of the Japanese quarter on this enterprising plantation has l>een a picturesque Buddhist Temple. Occupying a prominent site and tastefully built in accordance with Buddhist canons of ecclesiastical arthitecture it has stood as a challenge to the Christian forces of the district. The management of Waialua has for some time warmly sympathized with the desire of the local Christian evangelist Mr. T. Fukao to see this challenge accepted by the erection of a Christian meeting house- This sympathy has taken the form of dollars and cents and now Waialua has its neat little Japanese church home. The evening of July 21 was chosen for the dedication. At the appointed hour the guests found the building brilliant outside with gaily colored Japanese lanterns while within it was tastefully decorated with ferns and crowded with an intelligent enthusiastic science of which these men were but the audience that overflowed through both index, in time the heart of the Nation doors and windows. A little company of was stirred and he won his great victory. In America uncursed with the burden white friends from the plantation were on hand to show their interest which the of an established form of religion there heat tried hard to dampen but could not is fortunately no such thing as a noncool, while the exercises in an unknown comformist conscience.

We look for good results there and join the Japanese in expressing deep gratitude to Mr- and Mrs. Goodale and the other friends on the plantation for their generous assistance. FA ORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. Our English friends are fond of the phrase "The Non-conformist Conscience." That this is more than a happy word picture Premier Balfour is finding out these days when the battle is being so fiercely joined between Public Education and Education by a segment of the Church. There can be no question which wav the victory will ultimately go. For half "a century British public men have been confronted by a mighty power which few of them have dared carelessly to arouse to opposition. It is not a tangible, organized influence yet it demands recognition. It is called the non-conformist conscience because it is associated with though by no means confined to, that noble body of public spirited citizens, fearing neither King nor Commons, passionately devoted to the service of righteousness, determined that Great Britain shall act honorably rather than grow rich, therefore constantly taking the platform in advocacy of great causes and in opposition to everything in national life not befitting the Kingdom of God—the non-conformist leaders. When these men, moved by the conviction that some grave national wrong is to be attempted, begin to plead with the nation, statesmen tremble; for then their dreams are troubled with the specter of the nonWhen Lord conformist conscience. Shaftesbury in his diary mournfully wrote of the "opposition or coldness from religionists" he referred to the state church whose clergy with few noble exceptions stood aloof from his movement. But as he confessed again and again the non-com forning ministers were overwhelmingly with him in his battle for industrial freedom. Backed by the con- Kinley of having his ear to the ground that he might catch from afar the rumble of Public Opinion. It would be truer to say that he waited till he was sure of the backing of this mighty moral force the Public Christian Conscience. This was most noticeable just before the Spanish war. He would do nothing until he knew that this power was convinced That free Cuba could never come through ]>eace. It is characteristic of President Roosevelt that he forestalls the declaration of this national sentiment rather than waits till it has spoken. He reads by intuition what this conscience is about to demand and then loses no time in delay. The coal strike arbitration is only one of many evidences of this spirit. The main difference between these two statesmen and President Cleveland is that the latter seemingly cares little for the Public Christian Conscience and all for his own. He makes his own estimate final. This is a magnificent characteristic and stamps its owner a dominating man among men. But it is a. mistaken ideal for a social age- It belongs to the past when individualism triumphed and society had no This explains the massive rights. of strength Mr. Cleveland's character and the woeful weakness of +iis mistakes. The whole chapter of his blundering over Hawaii is a case in pointThere can be no question that what makes a nation strong is the high development and sensitiveness of its Public Conscience. When this is dominated by the ideals of the Cross it deserves the name of the Public Christian Conscience. In the end this is a final force, absolutely certain to win. Hence the importance of its creation, its education and of constant appeal to it on great questions of right and wrong. In every community this work of developing an intelligent sensitive social conscience is the predominant task of men of public spirit. There can be no question that Hawaii affords a fine field for this form of enterprise. The response made by the Legislature in recent special session to the appeal of our Governor was due to the demand of this mighty social force. Our legislators, though all unconscious of it, stood in awe of the aroused conscience of the people. Such a demonstration of the power of the social �THE FRIEND 6 moral nature is lwth a sign of health and a great encouragement to fighters for righteousness. There arc still any number of worlds left to be conquered. The conscience of Hawaii is dead asleep on the saloon question, it is moribund upon the evils of prize fighting. Our daily press rightly complains of the increasing evidences of brutality in the homes of some of Unpeople and ]X)ints to the supineness of the law in the face of such cruelty on the part of husbands to their wives that the details cannot be printed, Vet there is no word of condemnation for the saloon evil which fosters the passion to be cruel nor for public exhibitions of brutality which harden men to sights of pain and teach them how to wound without com- punction. With no lack of inducement to attempt of real difficulty yet with assurance of ultimate victory, if they persevere. those who believe in the principles of the Cross have ample encouragement and full Opportunity to use every energy in training a regnant Public Christian Conscience here among peoples of widely differing races and in setting it on fire with the D.

Hereafter it will resume its old place and all because of the kindly interest and generous gifts of the owner of the Island; Mr. Charles Gay. After making his purchase, Mr. Gay quickly decided that a church must be of a G*y.

Mingling research study with vacation pleasure it was the writer's privilege, recently, to visit the interesting historic valley of Waimea, on this island of ( )ahu, lying on the route of the railway, between Waialua and kahuku. This somewhat picturesque valley, though small in area, was famed, years ago, for its fruitfulness; and its pink taro was of that choice quality which tradition says be longed exclusively to chief's tables, while the water of its bay, to the present time, is noted as favored of Kuula, the Hawaiian fishermen's deity, for the quantity and quality of its products. Ilany readers of The FRIEND will readily recall various incidents that have helped to make this one of the famous spots of < )ahu's history, the most prominent of which was that unfortunate tragedy in the attack by the natives upon the boat's crew of the second foreign vessel, the Daedalus, which appeared off its shore in May, 17<)2, and the murder of Lieut Hergest the commander, Astronomer Gooch and one seaman. Correcting the statement sometimes made, I say the second foreign arrival, for the Resolution and Discovery, after Cook's death, touched at this locality of windward ( tabu, for water, on their way from Kealakekua to Kauai, February 17, 17~( J. First thought might deem it a waste of time to think of obtaining any information of interest in connection with that occurrence at this late day, yet that was the principal object in mind in our recent visit to the vicinity, hoping thereby to procure sufficient information from the patriarch of the valley. Pelekane, a descendant of early Waimeans, that would identify the place of landing of the party in their quest for water, and the locality of the murderous attack; and if the data obtained may be relied upon (and there is no reason why our informant should furnish any miStatement), the trip was not wholly void of success. This once populous and fruitful valley has suffered many changes with the march of time. The tremendous freshets of sonic five or more years ago terminated the agricultural enterprise of its people by washing out U> sea the growing taro from its terraced banks; the fruit and coffee trees planted along its slopes, and filling up the taro patches and the bed of its stream with debris, rocks and boulders several feet deep. As if this was not misfortune enough, houses and other property were swept away and three lives lost in the effort to rescue personal effects from the mad-rushing torrent which carried away the government bridge and seriously damaged that of the railway company. Last winter's rains also did further injury. Evidences of all this devastation will remain for many years to come. The white sand-beach noted for its small sea-shells found at certain seasons of the year, now closes entirely the mouth of the stream, as it has for a number of years past, though in ancient times, there was free inlet and outlet of ocean and valley waters so that canoes were free to come and go as far Up as the fork of the valley, and it was up this water-way that the boat of the Daedalus coursed, said Pelekane, and landed its party at the western branch. Xcar the base of the bluff on the Waialua side was pointed out as the place where the murder of the officers occurred ; the seaman having been struck down at the boat. Some two years ago our Historical Society assumed the laudable duty of locating the historic spots, or landmarks, of Hawaiian history, that in due time suitable tablets might be erected to commemorate the circumstance or event connected therewith. Deeming the sad incident above referred to as rendering Waimea entitled to such recognition gave the writer additional interest to a pleasurable journey. Some readers may be unaware of the fact that on the top of the eastern bluff of the valley, overlooking the narrow stretch of lowland shore, is located the ruins of one of the celebrated heiaus of this island, known as Pint o Mahuka, the dedicatory fire of which is said to have been felt on distant Kauai. This temple is identified with Kaopulupulu, the martyr kahuna of prophetic power, according to tradition, of the days of Kahahana and Kahekili, and is doubtless one of the spots which the legislature of several years ago had in view when it enacted a law for the preservation of the remaining heiaus, or old temples, throughout the islands. The remaining residents of the valley are now few, and comprise Hawaiians and Japanese whose principal occupation is that of fishing- A little is being done in the cultivation of sweet potatoes, but nothing further in agriculture is in evidence. The gathering of shells by the women and children and making the same into hat-bands, or belts, for souvenirs, help theni to eke out a precarious T. G. T. existence. SPECIAL PROVIDENCES IN THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF HAWAII. By S. E. Bishop. 7. The Pentecostal Revival of 1837-8. We have now to note the seventh and last of that remarkable series of events, which successively contributed to the rapid and early conquest of the Hawaiian nation by the Gospel of Christ, and determined the permanent occupation of this central island group by that Gospel, making it a Christian land. After the singular removal in Nov., 1829 of the last formidable element of opposition by the strange disappearance of Governor I'oki, the work of evangelization and education rapidly progressed among the very receptive people under the fostering support of Queen KaahuAdded to nianu and her fellow-chiefs. the vigorous agencies of preaching and publishing was in 1831 supplied a High School for natives at Lahainaluna, where for 45 years, youth were trained in their own tongue in a higher literary education. Many of these in a few years went forth to become efficient instructors in the common schools, and some of them to be preachers of the Gospel. During the next seven years, large reinforcements came from home to swell the ranks of the earlier missionaries, including such notable names as Alexander, Armstrong, Lyons, Dibble, Baldwin, Lowell Smith and Coan. A great campaign was in progress, and the Home churches kept the ranks filled with men of power and ardor to support the veterans Bingham, Thurston, Richards and others. Churches were organized throughout the group, and numbers of promising and earnest converts were baptized and admitted to church fellowship. Up to 1837, the total number of admissions to the church during twelve years had been 1131. But during the three succeeding years, such was the marvelous outpouring of Divine Power that 19,773 were added, or nearly one-sixth of the entire �8 population, while a majority of the adults were unreliable though enthusiastic candidates for church fcljowship. The whole nation seemed to press in one body into the fold of the Lord. Enormous congregations everywhere gathered to hang in deep emotion upon the words of the preachers The entire population for over a year were stirred to their depths. The result of this mighty Revival was overwhelming upon the national belief and character. I lawaii became at once a thoroughly Christian Nation, completely converted from its decrepit and infecting heathenism to an ardent and devout loyalty to the Gospel of the Redeemer. Practically for a whole generation the old vile heathenism remained submerged and the whole community lived under a preponderant ascendency of Christian faith and Christian ethics, however imperfectly the latter were practiced in their mF iF PTFMn boundary of Christendom is indeed a noble and conspicuous one. A lofty inspiration here lends itself to the Lord's people to fulfill a worthy destiny. Some ten or more years ago a number of its alumni mindful of the value of preserving its inheritance of noble names and high spirit determined to rally about lives. This vital regeneration in the hearts of the people began at once to bear fruit in their political life. Under the earnest leadership of King and Chiefs civilized Christian Law began to take shape. Free and just government at once began to displace what had been arbitrary and oppressive. A Liberal Parliamentary Constitution became established and developed during the succeeding ten years. Courts became fully organized. Lands were assigned in fee simple to both chiefs and common people. Justice and security displaced oppression and despotism. Thus in ten years after the great Pentecostal Regeneration of the Hawaiian nation, a full Christian Civilization had taken completed form resulting in the complete recognition by the Great Powers of the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent Nation. And in less than thirty years from the first inception of missionary labor, there stood strongly planted in this mid-Pacific a thoroughly Christian State, in the forefront of the great American Christian Civilization, which was beginning to occupy in force the Pacific coast and confront the vast Asiatic Empires of Japan and China. On Hawaii, a point of priceless strategic value had by special Divine Mercy, been occupied in advance to represent to the commerce of the Orient that enlightened American Christianity. Solitary but central in this vast Pacific, Hawaii stands a bright representative of American Christianity, Civilization and Political Life to confront the mighty Orient with those new elements of Occidental Life. May we not discern beyond a doubt, how Hawaii was specially reserved by a great Divine Purpose, protected and nourished so as in the ripeness of time to fulfill this grand object?

This was given on the Boys' Field on the evening of July 21 and proved a great success. Enough money would have been secured to equip the Clubhouse with absolutely necessary features if it had not been for the roughness of a large number of persons who taking advantage of the absence of the police forced their way into the grounds without paying the entrance fei as it was a goodly sum was realized. ; It being a perfect moonlight night the scene was unusually attractive. The entertainment consisted of wrestling, fencing, jujutsu, shakulachi music and a pantomime. a celebrated Prof. Torajiro Takahashi, swordsman and master of jujutsu together with bis pupils and friends furnished the larger part of the program and treated the audience to rare feats of skill. < >wing to the increasing popularity of jujutsu in America it is not improbable that a class in this form of physical exercise will be organized among the athletic white people of town during the fall. Prof. Takahashi who was formerly official instructor of the art in Fukushima prefecture is a real acquisition to the exercise-loving quota of our population. His generosity in volunteering his services to make the entertainment a success is warmly appreciated by all the friends of the new clubhouse. It is good news to know that he will be connected with the institution as instructor in both jujutsu and fencing. Meantime so great is the interest among the Japanese of this city in the clubhouse that subscriptions are being made to add to its completeness. It is felt that such an institution will aid mightily in offsetting the saloons, gambling dens and other vile resorts which tempt so many into habits of debauchery. There will be nothing narrow or sectarian about this club. It will be open to all Japanese on the payment of a small monthly fee. In its assembly, reading, recreation, bathing and athletic departments it will furnish under clean, healthy, cheerful, moral conditions exactly what young men crave in their off work hours. It is a pleasure to record the fact that among the most earnest backers of the movement arc found such gentlemen of culture and influence as Messrs. Okuzo Sbioda, manager of the Keihin Hank, Chuzaburo Shiozawa, editor of Hawaii Shimpo, Hideo Sakunia, editor of the Yamato Shimbun, Takie Okumura, pastor of the Makiki Congregational Church, President Otohiko Ota of the Japanese 9 Temperance Society, Treasurer Susuke PRAYER FOR RAIN.

She received all her schooling at the Hawaiian Islands: first in the Royal School then under the charge of Rev. E. ti. Beckwith, and later at Oahu College. She was married Dec. 4, [866 to Mr. Frederick Panning a merchant of Honolulu, who was at that time the Russian They had three sons, two of whom, Frederick, and Richard Armstrong Banning died in childhood, and now rest in the sacred little Mission cemConsul. etery in the shadow of Kawaiahao church.

Mrs. Clara Panning had been in delicate health for main years, but no one anticipated the grave nature of her disease, which was proved by autopsy to he cancer of the stomach. Relatives here on receipt of the news, cabled back to have tin' body embalmed and they waited the arrival of P.. R.

The exquisitely beautiful marble form seemed so life-like in its calm repose, that the loved ones could gaze entranced. The floral tributes were numerous and of the choicest description. The mourning son laid on the casket a sheaf of the German corn flowers in memory of his father.

Artemas Bishop who diecf in 1872, left two children born in Kona, Hawaii, in 1825 and 1827. The elder, Jane Elizabeth, has now joined the majority at the age of 79, born April 6, 1825, and deceased July 18, 1904. Her death from old age and heart failure, was a gentle and peaceful one, after a few weeks of prostration, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Arthur C. Alexander, in Manoa Valley. Mrs. Hillebrand spent thirteen years of early life in America, graduating at Steubenville Female Seminary and returning home in 1850. In 1859 she married Mr. Hermann 1 lillebrand a German gentleman of Honolulu who died ten years later. With her two daughters she revisited the States before [890, remaining many years in New York City, but happily returning to her native land about fourteen months ago with her daughter Helen, now the esteemed librarian of the Honolulu Library. A very happy year was passed with her two daughters and her four young grandchildren, her brother Dr. S. E. Bishop also residing near by. To these dear kindred it has been a source of deep satisfaction that her last days were so pleasantly spent with them. Mrs. Hillebrand was of bright intellect, but of somewhat quiet nature. She had high and firm principle, but the greatest kindliness of disposition, and was beloved as a helper to many needy ones. She passed the veil with a calm and undisturbed faith. Many old friends and neighbors have manifested their affectionate sorrow. A circle of Bishop cousins near Oswego, N. Y. had become strongly attached to her and will join in this sorrow.

Recently I asked Mr. Kennedy, the son of Mr. C. C. Kennedy, who is acting manager of Waiakea during his father's absence, to give a permission to us to preach to Japanese in his camps every Sunday, and he gave it gladly. Then Mr. Boscow, accompanying two or three Japanese boys in the Hilo Boarding school, is preaching there after Sunday School in our church every Sunday afternoon. Sometimes I can go with them. Usually we omitted the Sunday School at Summer time, because the teachers would be gone far away, but at this Summer we do not omit it, because Mr. and Mrs. Boscow are teaching the school. They are teaching us to sing hymn correctly on every Sunday night too. At all they are great help for our churchWe are thankful very much to them. Mr. Westcrvclt gave a lecture on Japan with a magic lantern on the evening of 7th mat. at Haiti church, and it was very nice. On the 10th evening we had a union meeting of Chinese and Japanese in the Chinese church, and Mr. Wcstervelt gave a nice explanation on the pictures of the life of Christ with magic lantern. Again, Mr. Wcstervelt gave a lecture on China and Japan with magic lantern in the Chinese church, but I could not attend there, because I had the night school. One time Mr. Wcstervelt spoke to us about the Christian Endeavor Society at our church, and it was very profit to us. On the next Sunday we organized the society in our church. A HABIT OF LIHUE'S.

This fittingly completes the record of the "Best Meeting the Association evei he 1.1." CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TO THE FRONT. By Hon. L. A. Dickey. The Central Union Christian Endeavor Society is planning to have a course of study on Christian Endeavor methods, giving one evening every month to it and beginning in September. Dr. F. E. Clark, founder of the Christian Endeavor societies, has begun a correspondence school for Christian Endeavors. One of the members of our Central Union society pursues this course by correspondenc, passing examinations which are corrected in Boston, and also takes a course of instruction from Amos R. Wells, editor of the Christian Endeavor World. She is now going to pass on the education she has gained by conducting study classes. A number of the society have bought the text books and once a month the meeting of the society will be given up to the Study of this work planned by Dr. Clark and Mr. Wells. A new plan of the Central Union Society which has already been entered on that the president Mr. Dickey and the I isvice-president Mr. Spencer Bowen have divided between them the entire society and startcil a contest in which every member present scores one for the side he is on, with an extra point if he is on time and another point for taking part in meeting. The score of the two sides is displayed prominently in the hall of the church and thus far the vice-president is ahead. About ten years ago Carlton H. Jenks, a sailor on the man-of-war Charleston, dropped in upon the Central Union Christian Endeavor Society and some one who sat near him asked him if he was a Christian and if he would take part in the meeting. He did take part and said that while he had been a Christian Endeavorer at home he had not acted as a Christian on board the ship but would make a new start. While his vessel was in port he brought many sailors into the society and started a Christian Endeavor Society on board the Charleston. The members of this society have been transferred from time to time to different ships and have had a very great influence among the sailors of the American Navy, organizing many Christian Endeavor societies. In Nagasaki, Japan, a Christian Endeavor Seamen's Home was started, —the one clean, decent place for a sailor to stay in all that city,— through the influence of these seamen and the societies in which they were interested. Carlton 11. Jenks was on the Maine and lost his life when that vessel blew uj) in I lavana harbor. The Nagasaki Home is left as a memorial to him, one room being fitted up especially in memory of him by the Christian Endeavor Societies, the Central Union Society joining. The I limit' has been self supporting until now when the Japanese and Russian war has made all nations withdraw their ships from Nagasaki harbor which is a great rendezvous. Until the war ends tlie Home will have a hard time keeping open and cannot do without outside aid. Central Union Society took up a collection last Sunday evening and raised $25 for the help of the Home. The society feels that it is indirectly the starter of the Home, although it has never been found out who it was that spoke to Carlton If. Jenks 011 that evening in Honolulu. Special enquiry has been made to find out, at the request of Mr. Jenks' mother and sister who would like to know the name. There has been a movement lately among the members of Congress looking toward an advance of the World's Peace beyond the step taken in the establishment of the Hague Peace Tribunal. This is no less than the organization of the �THE FRIEND World's Peace Congress. The Massachusetts Legislature has petitioned the National Senate and House of Representatives to take action on behalf of the country and summon delegates to such a Congress.
