BUT— - THE DEBT MUST BE RAISED RIGHT HERE IN HAWAII. T. R. No. 9 and its insufficiency is being more clearly demonstrated every month. If we could push forward our plans and occupy every point of vantage with evangelists and school teachers the results would be astonishing. Christian leaders in Japan appreciate this and are in the warmest sympathy with our endeavors here. They know that from the better class of emigrants now going to Hawaii and the States, Japan may hope to secure many devoted evangelists and pastors after they have been led into the Christian faith. We arc not living unto ourselves as we push our Chinese and Japanese work but are bound to start influences which shall permeate all Asia. We bespeak especial attention for the article entitled "A Clarion Call." We commend it to the thoughtful perusal of every friend of Christian work and every fighter for better things in this Territory. We are in the sacred presence of a great opportunity and every high consideration calls upon us to make a sacrifice to sieze this opportunity before it passes. Anyone who knows conditions in these Islands is aware that the Christian Church must be wider awake than ever if she is to cope with the enemy that menace moral and spiritual interests. The recent celebration of Polynesian day by Mormons in Salt Lake City speaks volumes. The widely-scattered liquor shops in country sections of these Islands add their testimony. Mormons and rumsellers know how to JO for their victims personally. They never conduct a wholesale campaign but strictly attend to the retail methods which Jesus Himself commended to His church. The Hawaiian Board is fully alive to the exigency. But unless it is backed by necessary resources it cannot do the work demanded. In this connection we ask all to study the pamphlet entitled "And it Was Good." The wide extent of the Board's enterterprise must occasion surprise to those unacquainted therewith. We have the machinery to combat the agencies of evil. Only the means to run that machinery fully is wanting. Farewell is evidently a very widespread every department.

The I lawaii Shimpo in a recent leading article says: "Reference has been made a number of times in these columns to the general failure of Christian Missionaries to make a dee]) impression on Japanese and to the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as dwelling U]x)ii this charge of hypocrisy on the part of the Christian Japanese both at home and in Hawaii it advances two socalled reasons for "the failure." First, Japanese patriotism will tolerate no God except the Emperor. Second, the Missionary is regarded as the advance agent of land grabbing Powers. No one of these statements is original or new. They are the stock objections popular ten years or more ago in Japan but utterly worn converts to Christianity." After there today. It is strange that they should be offered by a Japanese of intelligence at this late date. Take up the first assertion, "the lack of sincerity among those Japanese who are listed as converts to Christianity." The author of this article knows (or should know) that there are today no fewer than loK.cxm communicants in the Christian Churches of Japan, He is fouling his own national nest by proclaiming the majority or even a respectable minority of these to be insincere. 1 fe knows that the 42,<;(x> Protestant communicants are drawn from the more intelligent classes of the community, having a very high percentage of educated men and women. He should know that of the 51,1 Protestant Churches in Japan 93 are wholly selfsupporting and 346 partly self-supporting, while these 42,<>00 Christians expended for their own Christian work last year yen. Rather princely giving for a set of hypocrites! He knows that such men as the late Hon. Kenkichi Kataoka, four times Speaker of the Imperial Diet, Hon. Soroku Ebara, nominated recently by the Emperor as one of three candidates for Speaker of the Diet, Hon. Taro Ando, Hawaii's great gift to Japanese Christianity, Hon. Tokiwo Yokoi, Ires. Shimomura of the Doshisha, and the Revs. Kozaki, Uemura, Ebina, Ibuka, Harada and Honda, Mr. Kanzo Cchimura and a hundred other Christian leaders who might be named are men of whom any nation on earth might be proud. The writer of the article in Hawaii Shimpo would not think of calling any large proportion of his Christian countrymen insincere in the presence of such a company. Of course there arc Judascs in every band of disciples and there are also Peters who fail in emergency but as a whole Japanese Christians are true, noble men. We do out �THE FRIEND think as hardly of Japan as the Shimpo. AYe believe the great majority of Japanese, like the great majority of any nation, mean well and are in the main sincere. When they become Christians they do this because they believe it to be the truth. Let us be chary of calling any large number of men hypocrites. The Emperor of Japan who has nominated Christians to the Imperial Diets as Speakers at least 6 out of 9 possible times and the Diets themselves which have elected them 5 out of 9 times have evidently entertained nobler sentiments on Ibis subject than the author of that Shimpo leader. So also do the military authorities who require that the interpreters furnished the foreign correspondents with the army must be Christians, because so many interpreters previously employed have proved dishonest and denot ceitful. As for the God versus Emperor idea, very little need be said. In the early days of the Meiji era it was hard for Japanese to reconcile their ideas of fealty to the material Emperor and loyalty to the Spiritual God. I hit that this troubles no thinking person in Japan today the writer of the article in question ought certainly to know. In the army and navy the very hotbed of patriotism Christian soldiers and sailors fight side by side with their non-Christian comrades. One of the brave heroes chosen to man the hulks sunk off Port Arthur was a Christian on whose body when recovered a copy of the Scriptures was found soaked with his life blood. ()f the two spies captured at Harbin, Capt. Jokoka, a Christian, won the admiration of his captors who ordered him shot. He left his money to the Russian Red Cross saying that he wished to show his obedience to the law' of his Master, "Love your eneniic.;." No wonder that Prime Minister Count Katsuia and Minister of War General Terauchi are taking earnest interest in affording the National Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations every fa cility for work on behalf of soldiers and sailors. In the face of these instances and many others such as the Emperor's recent decorating of Mr. Ishii, the head of the ()kayama Orphan Asylum, one of the most widely known Christians in the Empire, it i.-> futile to say that anywhere among intelligent Japanese a sentiment exists that Christianity antagonizes patriotism. In view of Japan's emergence upon the scene of world politics as one of the Great Powers, the old-time scare crow of 20 years ago that missionaries were the advance guard of foreign conquering armies has lost all its power to frighten. It is no compliment to the intelligence of Japanese, their courage or their con- sciousncss of power to claim that they are from faith in Jesus by any such childish notions as these. The Japanese are a highly intellectual people. The truth taught by Jesus has already won its way largely to their hearts. Witness in proof of this the Red Cross Society with its million of members. The reasons why more of them are not found in the Churches are various. The chief one is that the number of workers is so small that the vast bulk of the population has not yet been faced with the personal appeal. The reasons which keep those who have come under the direct teaching of Christianity from identifying themselves with the Churches are in the main similar to those which prevent intelligent persons in America from so doing. Japanese are, like the rest of us, human, and are moved by similar considerations. In fine the Christian movement of the past 50 years in Japan constitutes one of the most brilliant successes in the history of Christianity. To denominate it a failure argues either ignorance, inability to recognize the mighty influence of the teaching of Jesus Upon the daily life and thought of the great Empire, determined shutting of the eyes to the evident facts or conscious misstatement. to be scared away 5 his early in that man-making environment. As a boy he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for some years as a means to earn the wherewithal of a higher education. In pursuit of his trade he found himself ere long in the United States where he has spent a large part of his life. Going to Missouri he entered Park College from which he graduated in arts in 1901. He followed this with a full course in Auburn Seminary, NewYork, where he met his future fellowlaborer, Mr. Henry P. Judd of Honolulu. On leaving Auburn he accepted the call to Kohala which will be his first regular pastorate, though he has done not a little preaching from place Ontario, Canada, passing years to place. Mr. Buchanan comes of a family remarkable for the sturdy health of its members. His maternal grandmother still hale and hearty, boasts 10 children, 80 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren, a family circle not yet entered by death. Since the birth of her first child not one of her descendants has lost life, and all today are in robust health. It would certainly be hard to match such a record. Mr. Buchanan has traveled very widely in Canada and the United States. He has seen many sides of life and in addition to the fine training of a carpenter's trade is an expert photographer, having had more than a year's practical experience in this art. He comes to the Islands well fitted for the kind of work demanded of our Christian leaders. Ile is unmarried. We congratulate Kohala on acquiring such a strong pastor and wish both him and his Church steadily increasing prosperity. A CLARION CALL. It comes from one of the leading members of the Hawaiian Board. Rev. Robert A. Buchanan A splendid specimen of stalwart Christian young manhood answered the question "Are you Mr. Buchanan?" with the words "I'm the man," as we searched the Mongolia for the new Pastor of Kohala Union Church. He stayed in Honolulu only a few days en route to his new field but in that short time he won all who met him and gave promise of fine work. Mr. Buchanan was born in Hensall, Every lover of good in the Territory should hear it. It is put in the form of an offer. In substance it is: "land mine will in addition to our usual subscriptions to the Hawaiian Board pay $1000 towards liquidating its deb*, if before the I St of November the remaining $7500 be subscribed by others, their gifts to be additional to their usual donations to its treasury." Those who know the Board realize that it has entered upon a new era of enlargement. It never was doing so much. It is accomplishing this upon a far less expenditure of money. Its business management is remarkably economical. The results of its wide enterprise are definite and inspiring. Plantations are calling for its evangel- �6 ists where once they were inclined to them down. It. employs only men who are above suspicion. But it is hampered with a grievous debt, in round numbers $8500. If this cannot be paid it must cut off 25 per cent, of its work. Will not everyone, who reads this call, respond? It is the Board's policy not to go into debt again. Its approproiatians for the coming year have been made most conservatively. It will live inside its regular income. If you give now to lift the debt you may be reasonably certain that you will not be asked to repeat the extra donation. Again the Board has voted to send a deputation to the mainland societies t<> secure from them aid in pushing the work in Hawaii. If our constituency will arise and pay this debt our deputation will have in that action the strongest possible plea for a co-operative effort. Men love to help those who help themselves. We need mainland co-operation to enable us to occupy the. ground here as we ought. Correspondence has already brought one society into this field to push the work in the English language. Another society is hesitating. We desire a persuasive argument. Pay the debt and upon the wave of that enthusiasm we confidently hope to float another great concern into active participation in the enterprise of planting the cross in every home on these Islands. A great educational opportunity confronts us. We are rarely situated for training Christian leaders for the Far East. Already we are sending young men Christianized here to their home lands for the education we could give them. We have the foundation for a great mid-Pacific institution of learning. A friend and member of the Board is on the Pacific Coast ready to seek the endowment needed to inaugurate the enterprise. But large givers shun an organization in debt. If we rally about the Board and pay off its incurred obligations (obligations through no fault of its management but due entirely to the era of business depression), we can go before the American public with this plea for a great Christian institution that shall gather into co-operation with itself all the many and varied schools connected with our Board. Never in all the history of the Islands have so many features of promise combined to present a unique opportunity. The Japan-Russian war, the Isthmian canal project, the marvelous expansion of population on the Coast, our across-the-sea posons, all argue a mighty incoming of mixed humanity for the Hawaii turn Biic THE FRIEND of the immediate future. We must this with stalwart Christian institutions and with an active enthusiastic Christian propaganda. The Board's constituency holds the key to the situation. Backed by the great Union denominations of the United States and Canada, beckoned onward by the allied Churches of Japan, we have a splendid co-operative army. We cannot go backward. We must advance. But the debt, the debt! like a heavy iron chain it clogs our footsteps. Will you not help lift it? Small or great send your response to this clarion call to our Treasurer. D. S. meet "EVOLUTION OF JAPANESE CHARACTERISTICS." By Sidney L. Gulick, D. D. Having lately read this book, we feel inclined to comment upon some of the impressions received from it. Dr. Gulick has certainly shown a high degree of ability in noting and classifying with such care and thoroughness the varied characteristics of that very remarkable and capable people. The reader feels sensible of a vast increase of definite and classified information about their peculiarities, and about the history of the varying influences and events which have tended to generate those peculiarities. ( )ne feels compelled to rank the Japanese people very high in the scale of humanity both in mental capacity and in moral force, notwithstanding the various moral defects and obliquities of which they have some share as well as other races of mankind. After so searching and minute an analysis of the national characteristics as Dr. Gulick has made, it is doubtless not strange that he has awakened some resentment among that people, since no one can see a faithful portrait drawn of his own features, or an accurate study made of his own character, and feel that it is just or accurate. Nothing is more sure to give offense than to describe your neighbor's character with accuracy. And yet Dr. Gulick has drawn a portrait of a nation, able, high-spirited, and earnest for good. Constantly prominent in this elaborate book is Dr. Oulick's own theory of national characteristics, which is that they are, at least in the Japanese people, not inbred "in the blood," or in the nervous system, so as to have been transmitted by Heredity. They are entirely the effect of their social conditions and habits of life and thought. In modern scientific language the origin of these traits is wholly Sociological, and not Biological. As applied to the Japanese he illustrates his theory by saying, that if a Japanese infant were at its birth to be removed to Anglo-Saxon conditions, and reared exclusively among them, he would in mature life be wholly Anglo-Saxon in character and would exhibit no peculiar Japanese traits, which are wholly developed by the social conditions in which the Japanese people are reared. The author applies his theory constantly and at length, describing the social conditions which tend to generate and fix into habits this and the other peculiarity. While impressed with the probable truth of many of these explanations, one feels that they fail to account for all the facts. One may say with certainty, for instance, that such explanation does not account for the prevailing complexion of the Japanese skin, nor for their average stature. Nor probably does it account for their prevailing cheerfulness of manner, as contrasted with the rather sullen Chinese, although Sociological causes do account for their peculiar formalities in bowin? and address, which probably are not physically inbred. We think it beyond a doubt that the various races of mankind each have their inherited peculiarities, which are incradically embedded in their bodily and nervous constitutions. All admit this to be true of the various breeds of each species of domesticated animals, suck as dogs, sheep, horses and kine. No shepherd would attempt to breed a sheep-dog from other than well-bred collie parents. No dairyman would hope to breed choice milkers from Mexican cattle, or other than high-bred milking stock like Holsteins or Jerseys. In like manner, while all men resemble each other more than they differ, being all from one original stock, there is still a great hereditary diversity in the different races of mankind. This is peculiarly prominent in those races which from remote ages have dwelt apart without contact with other human races, such as the Eskimos and the Bushmen. No one can question their hereditary peculiarities, mental as well as physical. Even in races whicn have long commingled, the racial peculiarities are conspicuous, both in feature and in disposition, as in the Teutonic and the Keltic inhabitants of the British Islands, speaking the same language, but showing marked racial diversities of disposition. It is "in the blood," in the breed. The insular position of Japan, in the vicinity of the teeming populations of Asia, as well as in the line of marine immigration from Malaysia, has given that country a population, which, like that of the British Islands, is of several very diverse origins. There is certainly a large substratum of Mongoloid blood from the �7 THE FRIEND continent. Equally certain is a great admixture of Malayo-Polynesian blood, derived from the enterprising navigating race of Oceanica, who anciently drifted Up through the Philippines and Formosa and the Loochoos. Both these large elements are marked in the Japanese features. And there are other very peculiar elements of feature difficult to assign to any known origin, such as frequent absence of nose-bridge between the eves. One earnestly wishes that Dr. Gulick had been less tied to a theory, and so left open to trace some of the Mongoloid heredities of character, and some of the Malaysian. Of the latter, one cannot help feeling confident, is the peculiar Japanese receptiveness for what is new, which also characterizes the Polynesian, and differentiates both from the extremely conservative Chinese. The present writer is able to present a very marked case of inherited Chinese proclivity in the case of a youth under his instruction about thirty years ago at Lahainaluna Seminary. He was the illegitimate son of a Hawaiian mother, by an unknown Chinese father, brought up exclusively among 1 lawaiians, with knowledge of none but his mother He was fine-looking, with tongue. marked Chinese features, and exceptionally bright in his studies. Knowing the superior qualities of such Inns as domestic servants, we soon employed him in housework, a position eagerly sought by our students. This half-Chinese boy speedily became adept in household work, to a degree never reached by pure natives however bright. He had the curious Chinese trait of invariably doing the same thing in the same wav without deviating from instructions. Here are two instances of this peculiarity, shown in setting rooms to rights. ()n my study table stood a small kerosene lamp, with a paper shade s!ip]X'd over the chimney. It was this boy's daily duty to clean and fill this lamp, and replace it on the table with the paper shade on the chimney. In course of time I got a metallic shade, and put the paper one on a shelf near by. But every morning when the boy replaced the lamp, he took the paper shade from the shelf and slipped it on the chimney, instead of the metallic shade he had found on it. After some weeks my curiosity to test his propensity was satisfied, and after once directing him to put on the metal shade, it was done. This was a most marked instance of Chinese heredity, always to repeat an act in the same way. The second instance related to a chair which I occupied in the evening by the parlor table. a cane seat rocker, another hairrocker standing by a window. In Kas course of time I sent the qane seat chair Honolulu for repair, and moved the hair cloth one to the table. But every morning my faithful boy replaced that chair at its old place by the window, whence every evening I moved it back to the table. Chinese-like, all reasoning was in abeyance, and mechanical repetition ruled the course of action. As before, curiosity let this continue for several weeks, until I gave the necessary order. All persons familiar with Chinese servants will recognize this national peculiarity, transmitted by heredity to this Hawaiian born and reared youth. And those familiar with Polynesian servants know how contrary it is to Polynesian tendencies to repeat any act in the same precise manner, ami how much and patient drilling it requires to make them continue to do anything exactly as they are taught. The Chinaman has acquired that habit and made it hereditary by means of rigid civilizing processes through more than five thousand years. He has become a specially civilized S. E. P.. P.reed of Man. to ASTOR'S INTEREST IN HAWAIIAN TRADE. EARLY A writer in an Eastern journal recently sought to identify John Jacob Astor with the discovery and controlling interest for years of the sandalwood trade of these Islands. The romancer states that Astor's first trading voyage to China was undertaken in partnership with a New York merchant who furnished the vessel and cargo; that upon its return, $55,000 in silver in barrels was delivered at Astor's cellarway as his share of the profits. With this cash capital he is represented as having bought and fitted out a ship on his own account and started her for China, and this is what happened "On her way out she was delayed by storms and had to stop at the Sandwich Islands to take in water and provisions; and at the same time she took on lx>ard a large stock of firewood. When she arrived at Canton a mandarin came aboard and noticing this firewood, asked its price. The captain, thinking it about the same value as cordwood, told him to make a bid. The mandarin bid $500 a and for seventeen years ton of the twenty-seven during which the ships of John Jacol)—always doubling in numbers —continued in the China trade, they managed to keep the secret of the source of that sandalwood. It was only when a downcast Yankee hired a clipper and dodged back and forth after the Astor craft for a year or more that he found John Jacob out. Nor did that Yankee shout his discovery to all the : * * * world, either, but for many years more kept quiet and shared in the profits." The world is too well read in these days not to discover at once several absurdities in the above narrative which arouse natural suspicions, and investigation for facts in the case reveal few threads beyond fancy in the whole story. It is somewhat of a coincidence that research upon this subject — which brought these islands so prominently before the commercial world—should be in progress at the time the above romance appeared. Some results of the investigation may be of interest to readers of The Friend. While the history of the sandalwood trade of these islands in its early development may be vague and s]>eculative. there are, fortunately, sufficient particulars of record to define the time of its discovery and the party accredited therewith, which occurred eighteen years before Astor'i pioneer ship left New York. by which time it is fair to presume the sandalwood trade was in full activity. In Astor's reply, January 4, 1823, to Hon. John Ouincy Adams' enquiry for particulars of his Pacific coast ventures, lie mentions the several vessels he, and the Pacific Fur Company in which he was interested, sent out that touched, or was lost, here, but no claim is set forth of participating in trade between here and China, nor any reference to sandalwood whatever. The first vessel that Mr. Astor sent out was the Enterprise, under command of Captain Ebbets, which left New York in 1809. The year following the Pacific Fur Company formed, with John Jacob Astor at its head, and owner of half of its stock. This company sent out the Tonquin, Jona. Thome, master, which sailed from New York, September, 1810, and was followed in October, 1811, by the Heaver, Captain Sovvles. These two latter vessels touched at these islands on their voyage out to Astoria, and took a number of natives as sailors and laborers. The next vessel was the Lark, which left New York, March, 1813, and arrived off the islands and was wrecked the following ()ctober. After the retirement of the Pacific Fur Company from Astoria and their out stations in favor of the rival Northwest Company, through the war of 1812, at very much less than its value, the Enterprise and her captain appear to figure frequently in the annals of island trade with China. Captain Ebbets eventually resided here for a time and the impression prevails that he was Astor's agent, in which capacity he was a collector of sandalwood in settlement of claims, as wer; a number of others at the same time, so instead of Astor having the secret and �8 THE FRIEND. exclusive enjoyment of a trade affording immense profit, his agent was scrambling with a number of competitors for a share of his dues from the periodical supplies of wood that came to market.

Take it, O VACATION NOTES IN ALASKA. Nome, Alaska, July 22nd, 1904. One of the most enjoyable experiences of this summer vacation has been a trip to Alaska. Here in this busy town of Nome, with a population of from 5,000 to 10,000, within 200 miles of the Arctic circle, one's idea of Northern Alaska is entirely changed. In place of ice and snow, bright sunshine and warm weather now prevail. Men are at work in their shirt sleeves, and wild flowers are growing in the grass. Although Nome is but four years old, she can boast good hotels, electric lights, telephones and a railroad. On all sides men arc busy digging and washing out the yellow gold from the sand and the hills. Several millions of dollars have been sent out already this season. After a journey of over 3,000 miles along only a part of the coast of Alaska, one begins to realize the great extent of this territory. With a size three times as large as California, or twice as large as Texas, it has a coast line greater than that of all the rest of the United States. The trip along the coast on the good old treasure ship "Roanoke," has given a panorama of delightful scenery, grand beyond description. Through the inland sea, with its thousand islands, covered with dense forests of evergreen, aflid here and there waterfalls dropping from snowy mountain tops, hidden in the clouds, the way has been one of most magnificent enchantment. The many stops at the settlements and towns have been full of interest, whereone can study the curious people, the Indians, their odd-looking native homes, their totem poles, their basket making. Metlakahtla is the place where the missionary, William Duncan, for over 20 years, had his model settlement of Christian Taimsions. Here they built their neat cottages, a church, schoolhouse, saw mill, cannery and store; and with their own trading boat, fire brigade, brass band, and local government by the elders of the village, they formed a real Utopia. Every one kept busy in the various industries of weaving, carpentering, rope making, shoemaking, cabinet making and fishing. It was a most wonderful change, in a fewyears, from these almost savage Indians, to a peaceful colony of industrious workers. Quite a large number of Japanese are employed near here in the fisheries of the Skeena river. Their features and many of their customs resemble those of the Indians, and some of their tools are just the same. Across from Me.tlakahtla, on Queen Charlotte Island, are the Hoida Indians, said to be the best type of the Indian races. They are now fast decreasing in numbers. Their images and relics are similar to those found in Guatemalan ruins. They also strongly resemble the Japanese and have a tradition that their origin was from over the ocean. Some Japanese words are found in their language. The Japan or Gulf Stream of the Pacific touches these shores and might have easily stranded junks here. At Fort Wrangell, the second settlement in Southeastern Alaska, opportunity was given to see many of the Ttingit Indians. The word Tling;t means "man," or "people," and this race is the most numerous among the Indians of Alaska. They have, as do nearly all the other tribes, traditions of a flood or deluge, which may have come from their ancestors being landed on these shores from trans-Pacific junks carried over by the strong Gulf Stream. At the time of that "flood" one of the ancestors, it is said, took a bear into his canoe and thus saved him from drowning. From an alliance with this bear, it is said, came the Tlingit race. One of the totems, still to be seen at Wrangell, shows the bear footprints on the tree, and the bear on top trying to escape the waters. The family history pictured by these totempoles, often give the bear as one of their ancestors. Many of their beliefs and superstitions seem to be Asiatic. These many totem-poles somewhat resemble the tiki of New Zealand and the images of other races of the South Sea islands. They have methods of work, and tools, and other customs, like the Japanese; and many Aino words are also found in their language. Mr. Walcott has noted that they have "the Japanese idioms, constructions, honorific, separative and agglutinative particles." Like the Asiatics they have difficulty with / and r. Their language sounds like that of a Welshman with a cold, perhaps because they have lived for generations, among these islands oi fog and rain. Mr. Stoddard calls this speech "a confusion of gutturals with a plcntitude of saliva—a moist language with a gurgle, that approaches a gargle." The visit to Juneau and Douglass island was full of interest. Here at Treadwell is the largest quartz-mill in the world,—more gold has been taken out of it than the price paid for the whole of Alaska. Leaving Juneau and the delightful Inland Sea, the journey was through Icy Strait and past Glacier Bay. Icebergs and miles of glaciers were �THE FRIEND. passed. It was a new sensation to walk over one of these frozen rivers with 300 feet of blue ice under foot, moving perhaps a few inches a day. The well built "Arctic Railroad," at Seward, was visited. This line aims to connect the coast with the Yukon river, but does not reach the North Pole yet. It was a treat to see the beauties of Dutch harbor and the Aleutian Islands. ( >n I'liiinak, one of these islands, rises the beautiful snowy peak of Ml. Bogoslof, so nearly like Fujiyama, that it seemed as if we must be off the coast of Japan. It was a new experience to see the Esquimaux in their furs, and to visit their curious homes. A few Chinese were met with at nearly all the places. 'I be whole trip was most interesting, delightful and one long to be remembered. E. W. THWING.

From Jaluit they may be forwarded by schooner to Pleasant Island ( Nauru). There is some reason to hope that they will reach Nauru within a year from the time of shipment from Honolulu. This experience manifests the necessity for a Missionary steam packet such as the American Board has just sent out to Micronesia via the Suez canal under Cant. (iarland.

THE KINGDOM IN JAPAN. of the noteworthy achievements of the year from the standpoint of worldwide humanity is the publication in Yokohama of a pampnlet of 245 pages entitled "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." To the thorough student of the trend of modern life it is clearthat religiously speaking the twentieth century is likely to go down to succeeding generations as the "Century of Unity. Church history is making fast in this direction and Japan is destined to wield no little influence here; for a pamphlet like the one just named would probably be impossible in It tells the story any other land. of a composite Christian movement in which nineteen Protestant Missions of as many different denominations co-operate, records the use by all Protestants in Japan of a condensed hymnary of 125 common hymns and tunes and by all except Episcopalians of one hymn book (the sales of which during the part of the year it has been on the market have reached a total of more than 50,000 copies) gathers together and presents statistics of all Christian organizations and completes its triumph by the incorporation of written reports from Greek and Roman Catholic Churches as well as from all Protestant Missions. Verily Japan is the wizard among the nations. This pamphlet, the price of which is but ten cents, reads like a novel. The ()ne 9 first half is of especial interest, because it deals with the larger movements of the Kingdom. The latter part is devoted to reports, all of them of permanent value though not as entertaining to the general reader. Prom this admirable brochure we gain some idea of the difficulty of Japan's problem in the statement that the density of her population is 236 to the square mile, or outside of the Northern Island ( Hokkaido) 376, and in parts of Central Japan 461 to the square mile, as against in the United States. No wonder the Churches of the Empire are fully awake to the urgency of the social question. The chairman's address before the Co-oj>crating Missions on "Christianizinga Changing Civilization" was largely a plea for concentration of Christian thought and effort upon forms of social service. All through the Empire the Churches are battling with the social conditions presented. Orphanages, homes for factory girls, students' lodging houses, temperance reform, the new charity, are matters of vital concern everywhere. The opening discussions upon "International Affairs," "Domestic Politics," "Sociological Notes" and "The Business World" —the contribution of that Nestor among Missionaries in Japan, Rev. D. C. Greene, D. D., of Tokio are worthy of a member of the family which in the last generation counted such leaders as William M.

Japan is fast ceasing to be a nation with privileged classes. The deep hold of Christianity is evidenced again and again, su]>crficially by nothing more striking than by the statement that of the 9 Diets of the Empire 5 have been presided over by devoted Christians. Dr. Greene's discussion of the inquiry "Is Japan's New Civilization Superficial?" is very suggestive. We agree with him but the subject is too wide for full treatment. It opens the question handled elsi where in our issue by Dr. Bishop in his contention with Dr. Sidney Gulick. We believe Dr. Bishop to be right. There is no inherent reason for disbelieving that if races of men present biological differences in physical appearance, they also do so in brain construction. The social environment of an individual largely conditions his development. But in the case of a race of men the social whole is due somewhat to racial peculiarities. The feudalism of Japan differed vastly from that of England or from that of Europe. For this there were many causes. One set of causes, however, was 21 — �THE FRIEND 10 . trait or an aptitude into a power, but that they exist is made clear by such cases as are cited by Dr. Bishop, numbers of which could be multiplied by wide observation. The question involves ultimately that of the origin of the varieties of social environment. Why had the Japanese of olden days his peculiar social system? Did the system make the man or the man the system ? The only valid answer is that both are true. The old-time Japanese social system drew its peculiarities from the gradually developing peculiarities of the Japanese race, and it in turn intensified these. This complex action and interaction registered itself to such a degree in the adult brain that the offspring inherited a brain to an extent modified thereby. This seems the true explanation. The Japanese may be as acute in his mental processes as any member of another race but these processes will have a color if we may use the expression all his own. When the attempt is made to exaggerate this evident scientific deduction into the thesis which Dr. Gulick so ardently condemns that the Japanese as a result of his long inherited past posses acer- New _Tapering Arm p [|!k!

Dr. Greene rightly concludes his interesting review of this question by summing it all up with the words: "Its (i.e., the newcivilization's) home is in the very hearts of the people." Space forbids further discussion of the many topics delightfully suggested in this interesting pamphlet. A local Japanese sheet has recently tried to tell residents of Hawaii why Christianity has failed in Japan. To all influenced by its argument we commend this book. It is passing strange that a religion so little influential should provoke interest enough to cause the Japanese to buy 205,064 copies of the Bible or parts thereof in one year—l9o3 —that since the opening of the Christian campaign against prosti- EYrything, Play Imjihi Just Like too Original 4^ /"T"MIE VICTOR is so perfect that it is often mistaken for actual talking and singing, even by persons accustomod to it.

That these are not in some way registered in brain structure it seems hard to believe. This is not to say that they may not be modified or even largely negatived or rendered abortive by careful training. Many a man has doubtless inherited capacities for certain lines of effort, such as artistic expression, which have never been allowed development by the conditions of his training. We think Dr. Gulick has conclusively shown that the Japanese belong in no separate category of the animal kingdom from the rest of mankind, but we find no proof of his thesis that the qualities which the Japanese possess, the peculiar tone of mi.id or way of looking at things, are not registered in the structure of his brain and as such passed on from generation to generation. Such modifications may be very slight. They undoubtedly require the influence of environment to cause their progressive change from their condition in infancy to that in adult age, corresponding somewhat to the growth of a tendency into a HONOLULU, H.

The fact of the case is Christianity never won so decided a victory in any land or in any age as it has in the Empire of the Rising Sun during the last half century. We commend to our esteemed friend, the editor of Hawaii Shimpo, the careful reading of the Second Issue of "The Christian Movement in Relation to the New Life in Japan." D. S. CANDIDATES AND THE SALOON. 'You can't legislate men into morality !" How this egregrious folly refuses to die. As though any one ever did attempt any such thing. As has been replied (to the limit of weariness) we do not make laws against stealing to make men honest but to protect us from thieves. So all good men should try to have their vote tell on the liquor question not to stop men from drinking but to protect us from the saloon—the paramount evil of our day. Here in Honolulu there is need of an awakening. There is already a growing sentiment that candidates are to be looked at keenly from this new point of view, viz., "Are you openly on the side of the saloon t not?" Some of us are ready to go this far for the present—all men notoriously connected with liquor interests will be "scratched" most vigorously. "Why?" Because they are not to be trusted on affairs of public policy. The cloven hoof will show itself on any issue. Why should we need to repeat that the saloon is the enemy of good government? It is almost the truth to say that protective government largely exists because of the saloon. Look to it, you zealous party managers ! A BOUQUET. To make the desert bloom is no small thing. To do it three times is thrice blessed. That is the record of a Maui school teacher who might have left his school grounds the dreary waste they sometimes are.

"To maintain a church in a country district is a good thing." That is the general and rather vague way of stating it. To read the inspired scriptures once a week and sing and pray with an aggregate of 2,190 people in the year, or 45 every week (average) is the same good thing, only expressed more particularly. That sort of concreteness is what statistics may lend us.

Surely one must base such a preposterous hope on the common aphorism "Fight fire with fire," which has its place in conflagrations but is manifestly overdone wdicn translated "Fight firewater with firewater" or "Fight Hell with Hell." Well, what then is such a sincere man as Bishop Potter of New York trying to do?

The God-man said concerning it: "The meek (how your present-day successful man scorns the term) shall inherit the earth." Who will gainsay him? for the earth is not yet apportioned, and the word of the T. R. coining King shall not fail.

Hiram Bingham Sen, and his sister, Mrs. Lvdia Bingham Coan. After their visit in Oakland. Cal., where Rev. H. Bingham gave a long and instructive missionary address in the First Congregational Church, which was fully reported in the Pacific in May, they proceeded on to Loston ami Cambridge to the home of Prof. Hiram Bingham, Jr.. of Harvard University. Later in the Advance, we read of the great Union Missionary Convention at Clifton Springs, X. V., where both Mr. Bingham and Mrs. Coan are mentioned as present and making addresses. We know that Rev. 11. Bingham Sen was present at the consecration exercises of the new steam yacht "Morning Star" just before she sailed for her trip through the Mediterranean Sea and Suez Canal to the < h'icnt. And the very latest news from Mr. B. is through a letter written to Mr. Theodore Richards of the I fawaiian Board in which he writes : "My son being about to take a business trip on August 2nd t England for thirtynine days has invited me to accompany him, which offer I have accepted. Mr. Bingham will be back in good season to attend the annual meet of the American Board of Missions in Grinnell, lowa. • Mrs. Coan was the guest of Mrs. Miss Marion E. Dillingham to Rev.
