No. 10 Mr. Wadman comes to take especial oversight of Christian work under Methodist auspices among Japanese and Koreans. He is the right man for the place. Fifteen years ago in 1889, Mr. Wadman set foot in Japan as a missionary. Two years in Tokyo, two in Hirosaki getting the language into his soul, four more in Tokyo in literary work, five in Hakodate supervising a large district which demanded frequent tours of two months' duration, and the last one or two years in Yokohama are the outward details of his career in our neighboring Empire. Broad minded, brotherly, alert, full of aggressive fire, things will move under his hands. We are glad to have among us a man of such apostolic fervor and fraternal spirit. We reciprocate his brotherlincss and join hands with him in the warfare of the Cross. Mrs. Wadman with four children is now on the mainland, but will come to Honolulu ere long. Mr. Wadman has one daughter with him. This family will be a notable addition to the Christian C ampaign NThew forces in Hawaii nei.

A year ago Mr. Higuchi meditated coming to Hawaii, but the townspeople rose in such vehement protest that he was forced to consent to remain for a season. Although every effort has since been made to keep him in Japan, he feels that he is called to this mission.

Vardaman tactics cannot evolve a ruling race nor can any line of action which emphasizes anything else than human brotherhood. It is, moreover, a pity to suggest race issues here in Hawaii. Our very safety, to say nothing of any higher consideration, lies in forgetting color lines and exaltmanhood wherever it be found, or this reason we glory in the ndid stand taken by The Adverr in behalf of the principle of independent voting. The Republican party in these Islands has stultified itself more than once by nominating unworthy men for office. It is the one party which has most to lose by catering to lower motives. How arc our Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese voters to be trained in citizenship except through a party which does not subordinate principle to policy? The Republican party simply cannot afford to nominate inferior men. Whenever this it deserves overwhelming feat. Every citizen who rebukes it by voting against its unworthy nominees is helping to teach these new, untrained voters what true Americanism means. Loyalty to party at all hazards is the worst lesson Hawaiians can learn. Loyalty to right will make them dependable citizens. They understand full well such motives as loyalty to race, loyalty to erraft, loyalty to selfinterest. They do not know what loyalty to the public weal signifies. The Republican party makes its appeal to them as the party able to teach them to subordinate self to the common good. It points with scorn to boodlers, prafters and men of that ilk. In order to make its scorn effective it must name for office the best men it has. Then it can claim to be a party representing principle in its nominations. The Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese and Portueuese can understand such teaching. They may not at first always vote for the best men when nominated, but they will in the end learn by experience the value of so doinp. The Friend therefore is glad to endorse The Advertiser in its plea to Republicans to rebuke party managers by rejecting at the polls every unworthy candidate. Only thus can the party be made to live up to its principles. X •does terested and has promised a building CHINESE CHURCH, HONOLULU. for a church. It is hoped that Rev.

He has been warmly welcomed by the Chinese of all classes and seems to be peculiarly fitted to labor among them. He speaks three Chinese dialects with ease and fluency. Though young in years he has had much experience and has witnessed "even to blood," under the blows of the persecutors' bamboo, to the sincerity of his belief in Christianity. We have reason to hope that he will do noble and lasting work here." �THE FRIEND This hope has been fully realized, for Mr. Wong by his kindly and earnest spirit, has won the hearts of all. He will be much missed in the work here, but it is to be hoped that he will have a large field for usefulness in California. KAMEHNOTES. The new school year has opened in a gratifying manner, not only from the standpoint of numbers, but also from the spirit with which the pupils have begun their work. The Manual Training and Preparatory Schools have as many boys enrolled as they can well accommodate, while the Girls' School has had to refuse admission to about fifty applimost cants. President Home has already won the respect, admiration and good will of the student body. His interest in everything which appeals to the schoolboy's heart, his desire to make school life pleasant as well as profitable, and his ability to look at things from the boys' point of view and sympathize with it, has endeared him to his students and has gained their loyal support. His influence over the personal life of the boys will be great and will show itself in the deepening of their characters. A thorough Christian, he is in sympathy with everything which tends to develop a strong, manly, Christian spirit in the boys of Kamehameha. The religious work of the school is somewhat hampered, at present, by the repairs being done to the Chapel. Sunday services are held in Bishop Hall and the joint Sunday School can not begin until the chapel can be used. It is hoped that the repairs will he finished early in October. The Christian Endeavor Society has begun its work with a membership of fifty. This is the only voluntary religious meeting which the boys have and it is hopeful as well as gratifying to have an average attendance of sixty. In all our meetings the C. E. motto, "For Christ and the Church," is emphasized, Christ gives us power and we give it to the church. The Hawaiian church needs lay members who can take an active part in its work. The statement has been made, and perhaps with some justification, that Kamehameha's influence upon the religious life of these Islands is not what it should be. It is the center of Hawaiian educational life, why should it not be the center of its religious life? If it dispels ignorance it should in the same degree dispel immorality and sin. Very few of the school's graduates are doing any real Christian work or have any inter- in the Church. Therearesome striking exceptions to this, hut they are few. Is this the fault of the school or the fault of the race? The Hawaiians as a whole, today, are not a church-going people, which may to some extent remove any extra blame from the training of the school. But let the fault be where it will, such a state of affairs should not exist. 1 believe it is possible to develop a Christian life here which will last beyond commencement day. The idea of responsibility for others, and the obligations of principle are not seated very deeply in the native heart, but they can and must be developed. A deep religious spirit must be first fostered but to it must ever be attached the idea of allegiance to Christ's church and service for others. The Sunday School, the Knights of Sir Galahad, the Young Women's Christian Union, the Christian Endeavor Society, are all doing good work, but they have not given the proper idea of service. They seem too local and lose their significance when the boys and girls return to their country homes. The religious life of a people centers in the organized church of which the societies named arc but parts. They lead to the church, but what church and where? I believe that the whole fault lies right here. Kamchamcha's religious work and life is not at fault, but it is not organized and united under a central organization. By that I mean that there should be a church organized on the campus to direct all the school's religious work and keep it in our native touch with the work of churches. The boys and girls are here when they are most susceptible to Christian influence and many of them are Christians in heart, but they are unattached individuals because there is no church to join. A church to mean anything must be a religious home and no city church can be that to the students whose time is entirely spent on the school grounds. By the time they graduate they have become accustomed to this unattached life and feeling no allegiance to the church do not work for it and in I believe the one necessary thing it. now is an organized church. We have a beautiful chapel but it now means little more than a place where services are held ; it should be the religious center, the spiritual home of every Christian boy and girl in the schools. Every sect and creed is represented here and for that reason the church's creed should be broad enough to include all who love and would serve Christ. If such a plan can be realized, it would be easy to instruct classes of the members in the fundamentals of the Christian faith and thus give them a broad, deep foundation. Another important branch est 5 of the work would he the discussion of plans and methods of conducting Sunday Schools and church meeetings. I believe this would make the religious work of the schools effective and lasting. The Christian students would leave the school with church letters to the church they prefer to join. They would leave feeling that they had belonged to the church and were under obligations to it. Above all they would he in sympathy with church work, and acquainted with its needs and ready to meet these needs. Our native pastors, toiling in the country elm relies, would have to help and encourage them educated, active, zealous lay members. J. L. H. LETTER FROM REV. DR. S.L. GULICK. Matsuyama, August ist, 1904 Dear Friends:— I am moved once more to send you a few words of greeting, this time not merely to report progress, but to let you know that we are on the point of returning once more to our beloved land. It is now almost seven years since we left home the last time (Sept. 2nd, 1897). We would naturally remain on the field ten years. But the Mission has seen fit to call us to Kyoto that I may take up the work of Theological instruction in the Doshisha. In order to make preparation for this work I have asked for a furlough of two years for special study. This the Prudential Committee has granted, so we are now packing up our household goods for shipment to Kyoto and preparing ourselves for our return to America. We are expecting to sail from Kobe, Aug. 21st. These past seven years in Matsuyama have been on the whole quiet and happy years. Our hands have been full of work. The people, both the Christians and others, have been most kindly in their relations with us, and reasonably responsive to our efforts. While the results of our work are not such as we could wish, still we rejoice to feel that we have not labored in vain; some results have been visible, but more we trust are known only to Him who knows the hearts of men. Perhaps the most visible result of our life in Matsuyama is the Factory Girls' Home, of which I enclose a separate report. In this Home we naturally take great satisfaction and also in the consecrated young man who has devoted himself to this work for factory girls. Immediately beside the Home stands the little Komachi Church, dedicated the Bth of July. We may also think of this as in part the result of our efforts, this church having grown out of the Station �6 Chapel which has been carried on the past four years in that part of the city. All of the members live in Komachi and many of them have been brought into the church through our work here. Mrs. Gulick's Cooking and English classes, and my English and Bible classes for young men and also for young women have of course no permanent organization and are not therefore such forms of work as can maintain a permanent life without the help of some foreigner. Rev. and Mrs. Newell are to come to Matsuyama in the fall, and will doubtless keep up these forms of work, taking better advantage no doubt of the many opportunities for Christian work than we have been able to. We leave Matsuyama feeling that we have many real friends here. Our plans after reaching home are still very indefinite. The first year I wish if possible to visit several of our leading seminaries for short periods of study anil especially of intercourse with the professors of Theology. The second year I wish to visit Scotland and England and then settle down for the larger part of the year in Germany. The family will doubtless spend much if not all the time at Mrs. Gulick's home in Oakland, California, where the children will have the best of educational facilities, which we are prepared to appreciate to their full. The most conspicuous thing that has happened to me recently has been the rabid criticism in April of me and my book on Japanese Evolution in one of the Matsuyama dailies by a Japanese student in Vale by the name of Mr. Mori. For twelve successive days the deluge poured forth. It nearly set the town on fire. One group of young men wanted to challenge me to a duel. The City Chief of Police was much exercised, sending a secret service officer to make special inquiries as to my welfare and cautioning me to be careful, fearing lest some violence might take place. The same paper was, however, willing to publish an equally full reply from me in which I showed that Mr. Mori had badly misrepresented my book. This reply quieted matters pretty well and all has become serene again, in spite of the fact that a second deluge filled half the issues for July. The Chief of Police called in person a few days ago to assure me that I need not worry as no one was paying any attention this time to the attack. They had become disgusted with it and did not even read it. On the whole my book has received unexpectedly high commendations from many sources, for which, not unnaturally, I am very glad. We are spending the summer here in Matsuyama and are being favored with exceptionally cool weather thus far. ] THE FRIEND am giving myself night and day to the as in China and Japan.

Letters addressed to 904 Filbert St., Oakland, Cal., or to the care of the American Hoard, Congregational House, Boston, Mass., will always reach us. The foregoing letter is accompanied by a pamphlet of twelve pages, being "The Second Annual Report of the Matsuyama Factory Girls' Home," dated July 18, 1904, and containing six photographic illustrations. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick spent one day in Honolulu, between Sept. sth and 6th, on their voyage eastward, and met many friends here. The Doctor has laid out a large program of work in preparation for his new post of duty in the Dashisha. A WORD FROM THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS. Rev. James Kekela has just received, by way of San Francisco, letters from his two sons, Samuel and John Kekela, residents on the Marquesas, of dates respectively July 15th and July nth. Each of these letters, after treating of matters of general and of family interest, state that the Roman Catholic missionaries upon those islands are being recalled for return to France. Their schools are to be disbanded and their lands arc in the hands of the government, and it is said that they are all to leave. One of these writers says: "These are the rumors that have come to our ears, the truth of which time will reveal." For nearly a century France has been the bulwark of the Roman Catholic missions in the islands of the Pacific, as well ELISOHAF FATMHYLOOMIS It is our misfortune to be considered, even yet, as living at the ends of the earth, and while we live on these "flyspecks on the map of the world," we are likely to die in ignorance of many whom we should delight to know and honor if gravitation did not keep their fame so closely to the mainland. In the Ontario County Journal, published at Canandaigua, N. V., under elates of July 3, 1903, and April 8, 1904, we find obituary sketches of two Hawaiian missionary children of the olden time—a daughter and a son of the pioneer missionary printer, Elisha Loomis—whom we have not known any too well, and they, alas! possibly never even heard of our Society. In both sketches, Mr. Loomis is entitled Reverend. He was not so called while here; and he must have acquired the title after his return home, two years of his short life there being being spent as a missionary to the Indians at Mackinaw. He came to the Islands in 1820, and returned with his family in 1827, taking manuscript copy of the gospels of Matthew, Mark and John; and in the next year these came out in that little volume of 171 pages, bound in red cloth, and each of the three title pages hears the words—"Hookahi keia oka pai ana— ROCHESTER, N. Y.—l'aiia i ka mea pai palapala a Luniiki—lß2B." Miss Amanda Loomis, the subject of the first mentioned sketch, was horn in Honolulu, Dec. 4, 1821. Her primary education was acquired at Rushville, (hitario county, N. V., where her father's family lived; but in June, 1842, she was graduated from the Ontario Female Seminary at Geneva, having also become an expert musician. She taught in various schools near home, and then, in 1845, for the sake of a milder climate, she accepted an offer to take charge of the female department of the Natchez Institute, Natchez, Miss., making the trip via New York, the Atlantic and the Mississippi.

My Dear Sir: —Please accept my thanks for copies of the "Eighty-Second Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association," and for copies of Dr. Scudder's sermons. The accounts given in these reports, of the successful work conducted for the new pagan population of the Hawaiian Islands, are very surprising and encouraging, and should be more widely known. To have formed in a few years 13 Japanese churches, 5 Chinese churches, and 3 Portuguese Churches, besides 11 Chinese Schools, 6 Japanese schools, and to have conducted girls' seminaries and hoys' schools and kindergartens and social settlements for seven nationalities, is a noble beginning of a work hardly second in necessity, difficulty and importance to the former evangelization of the native Hawaiians. Very truly yours, J. M. ALEXANDER. CANTEEN CANT. Now people generally connect this sort of cant with prohibition and the "wellW. C. T. U. women.

Nearly forty are enrolled. At the first session the examination papers of last term were discussed very generally and no marks were given out. The puri>osc was declared of presenting certificates to those who have done faithful work at the end of the year, which is to be the last Sunday in May. Prof. Wood of the Normal is? Here's what the Hookena women say about it: "At first it was opened to anyone who wanted to go in the lion's den, but it is a club." That leaves it still a mystery. But again, "Since this club has started, disturbances, fighting and all annoyances have happened." "There are children all around there, quick to catch the vulgar words and acts of the drunken". "the old and the young go into this den and drink till they are senseless". "two little schoolboys, one aged 12 and one 13, were made to drink in this den. That happened on the 25th of August." Now do you recognize it ? It has all the earmarks of a common, every-day saloon, although— "they got it dozvn here secretly because they knew w* were always against having a saloon around this place." Is the Territorial Treasurer responsible for this? ()r is it a matter of Ickjsc laws ? .. . ... WHAT IS WRONG? In our bringing-up, for example, have are been poorly instructed on the subject of "giving?" Is it "giving," anyway, when we pay for church and missions; and if so, do we Christians unconsciously place Jehovah in the same category with a street beggar when we put our five cent piece in the contribution box? Perhaps �8 THE FRIEND there is a duty in the matter and we haven't been informed about it. Why do some large churches, like'our own Central Union, for instance, get behind financially? "Because of hard times." Let no one deceive himself that way! We all have money to spend on ourselves. "Because the wealthy men do not come forward?" Not so. If it were true it would hardly be sufficient excuse. There are left too many responsible members. Comparisons arc invidious, but do members of secret fraternities consider that they are "giving" when they pay their proportionate share of lodge expenses ? Because "salvation is free" and no dues are charged on entrance to the church, shall a man sponge for his spiritual food? Assuredly not! No one really thinks so, but this desultory charitable notion is to blame: "If my emotions are properly worked on I'll give GOD a half-dollar." Why, it's fairly blasphemous! Note this: Systematic paying is what is needed; and there is more business than sentiment about it. If lam Christ's —bought with a price,—what relation has my income to that fact? "Oh," you say, "it's all His!" Yes, yes, but what is the practical outcome? How much escapes your selfish uses and gets into the channels of the work for which Christ died,—or even for the purpose of making your morning pew comfortable? If Christians paid as much as one-tenth of their income to Christ's uses there would be almost no church debts and the world would be brought to the knowledge of Christ in one generation. If tithdng is "too slavish," (by the way, let us note Scriptural grounds for it), then let it not be said that a slavish notion results in more than the free offering of a son and heir, yea—"joint heir." BOYS’ CLUBS. Mr. Turner arrived on the Korea, Monday, Sept. 26, full of enthusiasm for his work and of ideas for use in boys' clubs and Sunday schools. He reports a profitable conference in Winona, Indiana. A meeting of the officers of the clubs was held in Castle & Cooke's office, Friday, Sept. 16. The subjects under discussion were the trade school and the field. A report was read by the treasurer, Mr. Castle, showing something of a debt on the field, but with a portion of the needs of the year subscribed for. Just the right man to look out for the trade school is one of the problems. The committee think they have the right individual to recommend for the next meeting. It is proposed this year to offer the use of the school to certain boys' and girls' schools in the neighborhood so there may be the biggest possible use dia and China, when several millions of of the plant without conflict with the men, women and children slowly waste engagements of the boys' clubs. away to death by starvation.

It has been perhaps a fond hope of optimistic minds that this Twentieth Century would become one in which the violent struggles of past centuries would be abated, and it would be pre-eminently a century of peace. But instead of any realization of so sweet a hope, this new century in its early outset already meets a baptism of blood and fire, scarcely less violent than what ushered in the nineteenth. And everywhere we see the Great Powers equipped with larger and more complete forces for mutual destruction than ever before. Military skill is more perfect, and more thoroughly and systematically cultivated. Arms both of power, precision and rapidity are immensely more advanced and numerous, while the naval armaments of at least eight nations are each of them adequate to crush in a few minutes the world's combined navies of fifty years ago. The whole presages not any near-by Peace, but desperate Wars. But the question still arises, how great, comparatively, is the evil of War? When we read our cable dispatches, how perhaps 50,000 men have been killed and wounded in a single week's operations in one locality, one's mind turns almost sick with horror at such" a mass of human slaughter and suffering. But we may well bethink ourselves whether such evil is the greatest, or even one of the greatest, which befalls mankind. Consider the oft-recurring facts of famine years in In- Tolstoi, who wholly misinterprets the teachings of the Lord Jesus on this subject. Neither Christ nor His Apostles ever denounced war itself as the instrument of national power and defence, nor did they ever represent the soldier's calling as other than worthy and honorable. Their exhortations against all spirit of revenge and private resentment are quite another thing. "Blessed are the peacemakers" never meant that any nation was meekly to bow its neck to the tread of an insolent conqueror, when it was capable of protecting its people from ravage and tyranny. Our American ancestors did nobly and righteously when they threw off the yoke which the tyrant, George, sought to fasten upon them. May the day never come when nations will flinch from righteous defense of their own people or of others oppressed. It is our own judgment that Japan has done only its highest duty and done it nobly in arresting the insolent march of Russian Despotism over the lands and seas of the Orient. We believe that the God of Hosts is on the side of Japan and is giving her the victory. And we earnestly expect that such victory will be for the ultimate good, not only of Japan and China, but not less of Russia and S. E. B. Europe. NEWS ITEMS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Rev. and Mrs. John P. Erdman, whose marriage in California was announced in last month's Friend, arrived as expected. They have passed their honeymoon in Honolulu. For �THE FRIEND weeks they were the guests of Judge and Mrs. Walter F. Frear in their chalet on Tantalus, where the Frears were enjoying their summer vacation. Returning to the city to meet Mrs. B. F. Dillingham (the bride's mother), on September 6th, the rest of the month has been passed in the home of her childhood, preparing for her change of home, and receiving many attentions from friends. A very interesting incident of this month was at the meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific Isles, on the afternoon of Sept. 6. This was the first gathering of the Board after a three months' vacation. A short farewell exercise had been planned by the new President, Mrs. Doremus Scudder, who presided that afternoon, in honor of our departing missionary daughter, Mrs. Marion Dillingham Erdman. A short address by Dr. Wm. M. Kincaid voiced the feelings of all, in parting with this beloved young missionary, our affection and appreciation of her, and joy that we were to be so represented in Japan. Then followed the touching response of Mrs. Emma (Lowell-Smith) Dillingham, Treasurer of the W. B. M., her mother, speaking of her pride in her own missionary parents; also with trembling lips she expressed her perfect satisfaction in dedicating her child to missionary work, and confidence in God's plans for the future of His cause. Tearful eyes were the responsive answer of the audience to this brave mother heart! Then came a few brave, simple words from the daughter, who modestly and calmly expressed her purpose to take up this work in the strength of the Lord. She was then seated by her mother's side, in view of all, and her husband, Rev. Mr. Erdman, was called on for a few words. He told of their expected field of labor, and their desire to be used in the work together, of building up Christian youth in Japan. He was then Mrs. Dillingham's left, seated on through the rest of the meeting. Rev. and Mrs Erdman expect to leave for their field September 27th. An interesting private letter from the pen of Mrs. Lucy (Wetmore) Lewis of Hilo, Hawaii, was lately shared by M. A. C.; a few incidents are condensed here. Mr. Charles S. Lewis, her husband, whose home is in Oakland, Cal., decided to take his vacation in Oakland, Me., his old home, and to vary the regular course of travel, they took a Panama steamer, touching on the way at some of the ports of Guatemala, taking in a cargo of crude India rubber and enjoying the wild coast mountain scenery. Some of the peaks two are volcanoes, and only last year a de- structive eruption took place. They intended to cross the isthmus and proceed by steamer through the Atlantic to New York City, thence to Maine. With the reopening of the schools all over the Islands it is encouraging to learn that all the boarding schools to which the H. M. C. S. were so long pecuniarily helpful, are doing well. Miss Ellen G. Lyman, after a rest of almost four years from teaching, has taken her old place in Hilo Boarding School. Miss Anna I. Forbes is one of the teachers in Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. About two weeks ago arrived from California Mrs. Grace P. Haven, a grand-daughter of Sheldon Dibble, to try teaching for a year in the Kona Orphanage, the institution founded byMiss Alice Beard. She is a widow, her husband (an earnest, successful California minister of the Congregational church), having died about a year and a half ago. She had gone back to teaching in the San Jose Normal School. Many of the cousins in Honolulu were happy to make her acquaintance during the ten days she was here. On Saturday, Sept. 24, by steamer Kinau, arrived our Cousin Miss Fidelia Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii, under the care of her nurse, Mrs. Thomas Dickson. She is still very feeble, and the journey has been taken in hopes she may rally further, and by change of scene and circumstances be aroused and strengthened. It is sad to have to record fresh bereavements. The note of death of Mrs. Jane (Shipman) Reed (mother of the Shipman family of our own circle) was entered in The Friend last month. She passed peacefully away after long and painful suffering, on August 21st, 1904. Her funeral was largely attended from the Haili Church the next day, and was conducted by the Hawaiian pastor, Rev. Stephen Desha, assisted by Rev. Curtis Shields of the Hilo Foreign Church. Her pupils of a former school of Hilo girls, trained in the early sixties, covered her grave with flowers. On August 31st the sudden announcement of the death of Mrs. Sybil Augusta (Judd) Carter, (widow of the late Hon. H. A. P. Carter), after two days' illness from pneumonia, brought not sorrow only, but joy, to many who have loved her so, and watched her long, lingering decline of over ten years, during which she has been a lesson of patience, submission and faith to this community. Her son, Governor George R. Carter, had returned from his trip to Hilo a few days previous. The funeral at "Sweet Home" was 9 largely attended by every class of the community. The family lot in Nuuanu Cemetery was reached by a short walk through the family grounds, over a grassy lawn, while the strains of sweetest music came from the Government Band, stationed just mauka of the grave. All the arrangements for interment were touchingly complete and restful. The arrival that morning of Dr. William M. Kincaid, her pastor, from his vacation East, seemed most opportune. He read the Burial Service of the Episcopal Church, while Rev. Henry H. Parker, (Mrs. Carter's beloved neighbor and friend, who had often before ministered in that home), read Scripture and offered prayer. The news by cable on September 13th of the death of our Cousin Samuel T. Alexander in Africa, comes so close on the shock of the death of Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, his traveling companion, as to complete the association of their life time by this annual closing event, their mutual death in Africa. S. T. Alexander had consummated his desire to reach and view the "Victoria Falls," but met with an accident there, which was the cause of his death. A memorial service of the 11. M. C. Society is planned for Monday evening, September 26th, in the chapel of the Oahu College Preparatory department, which will be reported in future. M. A. C. UNIVERSITY WORK FOR CHINESE. By Rev. E.W. Thwing. A recent number of the New York Times gives interesting facts as to the progress of educational work for the Chinese. Colleges and schools arc being organized throughout the Empire. A UNIVERSITY AT CANTON. Speaking of one of the most importof these institutions, the Times says: "Within a very few weeks active work will begin in China upon what is undoubtedly destined to be the largest college in that country devoted to broad educational principles in the English language and in accordance with the most modern high school and college methods. This institution is the Canton Christian College. It occupies temporary quarters in the suburbs of Canton at present, where the work has been carried on for five years. During that time the trustees and others in this country who are interested in the development of the colant �THE FRIEND 10 lege and its work have been raising money and planning a permanent system of buildings, which, when completed, will offer facilities for 3,000 or more Chinese students, besides containing ample room for the residences of the teachers and officers of the college. "This large property will not assume appearance all at once. Several years undoubtedly will be required before the ambitious scheme of the founders will be realized. The first and most difficult part of the work, however, has already been achieved. The college is organized, the foundation has been laid, several teachers, graduates of American universities, are in charge of the educational work of the college at present, a fund of over $]00,000 has been raised to begin the permanent college buildings, and the land—thirty-five acres—has just been purchased." a collegiate University work for the Chinese and Japanese than in this Hawaiian Territory. Many bright young Chinese and Japanese students are now living here. With the best opportunities for Western learning, many others will come from China, Japan and Korea to secure a better education. China is unusually rich in mineral wealth. Her development and advancement can best be accomplished by training and educating her own people. It is most fitting that at this, America's outpost in the Pacific, there should be a fullyequipped college or university for the Chinese and Japanese. And for every dollar America puts into the upbuilding and advancement of China and Chinese, she will secure tenfold returns in trade and friendship for her neighbor on the other side of the Pacific.

Hardly less daring is the attempt to tell in words the vision of rare beauty which lies before us as we look eastward over Pearl Harbor to the everlasting hills.

And so our vision climbs to the wooded mountain crests which hide themselves in billowy clouds, or touch the blue sky bravely, as if in delight at their own loveliness. The changing light and shade make the scene one of transcendent beauty, never monotonous, for it is never twice the same. A sense of deep peace falls upon you and, under its gentle influence, you forget the "trivial round" and the petty cares, and rest. Then, while you rest, you recall the Wondrous imagery of the Bible as your mother taught it to you, long ago when you were a child. You remember how the mountains were made to express the varying emotions of the soul. How they told of divine power; of enfolding care; of love, of joy and peace. How they trembled as with fear and fled at God's rebuke. How they shouted and sang; danced and clapped their hands in exhuberant joy. Your heart sings with David: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills." You recall the promise,—"They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion which cannot be removed but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people from henceforth, even forever." Look ! The westering sun is painting the clouds with tints of rose and pearl; the deepening shadows touch the "hills of God" with loving fingers; the kindly air seems like the divine "breath of life," which changed the soul of man into the "living spirit," and "He who made us," though perhaps, we had half forgotten Him, becomes again, as to our childish faith, a real presence in whose loving care we can safely trust. MRS. J. M. WHITNEY. REMINISCENCES OF REV. T. L. GULICK. It must have been in the summer of the writer remembers to have been voyaging in the pleasant company of the late Rev. Thomas L. Gulick, who was at that time nearing the close of his pastorate of the Makawao Foreign Church. We were on the steamer Kinau bound for Hilo. It was a pleasant afternoon. We had left Kohala point behind us. We had skirted the beautiful Kohala plantations, had speculated upon the apparently recent age of the volcanic cones on the crest of the northern ridge of the Ko- 1892 that hala mountains, and were opening the great I'ololu ravine,out of the upperend of which my father had laboriously climbed in 1825. Before us lay what was like a great recess on the northeast flank of the Kohala mountain. It was about eight miles in breadth along the coast, and one and a half miles in depth. It included the two vast valleys of Waipio and Waimanu, as well as those of 1 lonokane and I'ololu at the northwest. The nature of this wonderful piece of scenery became at once the subject of earnest discussion. It was my first near front view of it from the ocean. Expressing a desire to pass nearer the shore, Mr. Gulick spoke to the captain, who at once kindly headed the ship close in, where we had a wonderful view of the mighty verdure-clad precipices towering from 1500 to 2000 feet above us. 1 began by propounding the opinion that this vast wall of precipice was simply the effect of marine erosion; of the wearing away of the coast by the ocean waves, such being apparently the cause of the low precipices along the part of theKohala coast which we had just passed. To this Gulick at once demurred, and strongly contended that it was caused by an immense fracture of the mountain side which bad broken off and fallen into the ocean depths. I did not readily accept this opinion, but became gradually convinced by the cogency of his reasoning, and have ever since been thoroughly satisfied of its correctness. It was a good geological lesson taught. Without undertaking to repeat his whole line of reasoning, the chief arguments were perhaps as follows: Such an enormous precipice could not possibly have been cut away by the ocean waves. It was several times the height of the sea precipices both northwest and southeast. Moreover, this huge wall was recessed back of the other coast lines, from one and a half to two miles into the mountain, indicating that a massive section had been taken out by a sudden local convulsion. An especially strong piece of evidence was the existence of a vast chasm parallel to the coast, lying from four to five miles inland. This chasm was about a mile wide, mainly opening into the great Waipio valley, but also showing at the head of Honokanc. Such a chasm lying directly athwart the natural course of streams, could not have been caused by Aeolian erosion. It must have been the effect of the same rending convulsion which broke off the shore line, and remains as visible proof of that peculiar violent action. It should be noted that this inland chasm does not communicate with the great Waimanu valley, but lies right across the head of it, separated by a nar- 1 THE FRIEND - row ridge-. I give some of these facts and figures from the recent careful map of the island. Mr. Gulick especially adduced the frequent existence on these islands of extensive littoral precipices, evidently fro Hired off by l<x al convulsions which have dropped large masses of mountain into the ocean depths. I was able to confirm this from my own observation. Very conspicuous on the island of Hawaii is such a fracture in Puna, directly south of and seven miles from the volcano of Kilauea. It is evidently quite recent. The precipice is over 1500 feet high and many miles in length. Above the brow of the precipice lie a succession of fissures p.uullel therewith, as if ready at any moiiunt to break off. On the map ibis precipice is some fifteen miles in length. At its base is a broad shelf of fresh- looking lava, some three miles wide, evidently poured into the sea at the time of the convulsion. The uplands between this and Kilauea are studded with recent cinder cones, evidences of explosive eruptions apparently of the same date. Again on the Kona coast is a clear trace of a similar precipice, extending from north of Kealakekua bay for some six miles to beyond Ilonaunau at the fionolulu Iron Olorks 00.

The one exception is the precipice at the head of Kealakekua bay. There the lava streams have shunned the precipice, but have flowed down to the sea on either side, thus enclosing the bay and harbor. Elsewhere along the Kona coast, where the calm sea is devoid of tendency to marine erosion, are no precipices, but the long mountain slopes descend regularly to the ocean. The north shore of the main mass of the island of Molokai seems to have been formed in the same manner. The whole northern part of the mountain has broken off and disappeared, leaving an enormous precipice along the whole coast. Indeed, this great fracture seems to include the western half of the island. A great fracture and subsidence of the same kind of very recent occurrence seems to be that which produced the long precipice facing west, which extends from the south point of Hawaii due north far inland into Kahuku. This conference between Brother Gulick and myself was a memorable one as to my own knowledge gained. This dear friend subsequently made many remarkable journeys in lands remote, and now in the ripeness of years, has closed his bright and active life of service in the interior of Africa, antipodal to his native land of Hawaii. INFIDEL AND REVERENT HIGHER CRITICISM. No doubt it is far too late in this age of increasing knowledge for any Christian teacher plausibly to maintain the ancient doctrine of our fathers, that every part of our Bible is historically true, and that every one of the sixty-five separate books of which it was compiled long after they were written, were supernaturally dictated by inspiration from God, and verbally accurate. It must be fully admitted to be the fitting and reasonable function of the Higher Criticism to search out and duly weigh the evidence as to the source and origin of each book. And this task must be performed as thoroughly and impartially as that of striving to determine and verify the true origin of the poems of Homer or Horace, or of the histories of Thueydides or Tacitus. In such an investigation it must be assumed as a real possibility, that some of the books commonly thought historically true, may probably be found to be works of sacred fiction, and others may prove not to have been written by their nominal authors. Job and Jonah may prove to have been Sacred Dramas. Isaiah may be a combination of the writings of two separate prophets. The authorship of THE FRIEND certain books of the New Testament may possibly have been assigned to the wrong writers. The Antediluvian portion of Genesis may prove to have been compiled from obscured traditions preserved in Abraham's family, and reflecting only a general historical verity. All such maybe legitimate results of a sound and reverent study of the Sacred Books, and to be treated as such by earnest believers in the Bible as containing a reliable Revelation from God. One may even go much farther and saythat very tolerant and forbearing treatment may be due to the conclusions of some Higher Critics who seem needlessly to invalidate the genuineness of greatly valued portions of the Bible, such as the Book of Daniel, or even the authorship of the Gospel of John, while yet they hold to the great sacred and Divine element pervading the whole great compilation. Impartial fairness as well as the spirit of Christian kindness forbids us to pursue with reproaches truly believing men who are earnestly striving to attain the truth, even though we may clearly perceive that they are being misled. But there is a very different spirit pervading a large proportion of the Higher Criticism now prevalent especially in Germany, and becoming prominent in England and America. It is a spirit of radical Unbelief in any Divine Revelation to man. It is therefore fitly and properly to be termed Infidel Criticism, and is to be thoroughly distinguished from that Reverent Criticism which heartily recognizes and delights in the presence of God's Word in the Bible. This Infidel Criticism begins by positing as a fundamental principle that God does not and cannot directly reveal Himself to the mind and thought of man; that all miracles are necessarily untrue and delusive; and that all reported revelations, such as Paul's on the road to Damascus, must be unfounded fancies of a disordered mind. Hence, all records of Revelations are to be dealt with by the critic as unhistorical or spurious. Another basal principle of this false criticism is that the origin and source of every form of religious belief is to be found solely in the mind of man himself; that all Religions are the products of Evolution, which is the fundamental principle of all growth and progress; that therefore the source of the Monotheistic religion of Jehovah in Israel is to be sought in a gradual growth and development, so that all pretended records of a Divine Revelation through Moses are to be discarded as unhistorical. Thus the labors of the Infidel Critics are guided wholly in pointing out the line between the real and the fanciful in the Bible, as predetermined wholly by their own fundamental rule of unbelief. All that is supcrnatu- ral is necessarily fanciful. The residuum of the real leaves man to absolute unbelief in any revealed Word of God. Confused and fantastic masses of this Infidel Criticism are being put forth to discredit the Bible by learned professors in Germany, and often adopted with approval even by Theological teachers in England and America. For this very prevalent and grotesquely fantastic Criticism of Unbelief, the loving Christian believer, whose soul recognizes in the Bible the voice of his God and Father, can feel only repulsion and horror. It rises before his mind as a poisonous enemy. Our faith remains unshaken in the Sacred Record of God's Revelation of His ways and His will. Our hearts respond awedly and lovingly to His appeals and His promises. Above all, we rapturously own in the Lord Jesus Christ the supreme revelation of the Father, the "One altogether lovely." Those fantastic devices of evolutionistic critics to shake our hearts' adoring faith are only wind-drift beating against rock-sealed castles. It is only another form of the enemy's pertinacious war against Christ.* Church. But the gates of 1 lell are not to prevail. S. E, B. A GOOD ELDER. Our Chinese church at Kaiopihi, Kohala, Hawaii, has a good elder, Mr. Leung Cho Shin of Hawi. He was born in Ka Yin Chew, Canton, China, fifty-five years ago. When he was a young man he studied theology for a long time in the Theological College of Lei Long. He is thoroughly versed in biblical knowledge. He is a good-natured man, strictly upright and honest in his dealings. When Rev. Kong Tet Yin left for China, Mr. Leong Cho Shin filled his place for about a year. The Christians here are all very glad that Mr. Leong Cho Shin is an elder, because he is very kind to them. He takes great pains to give comfort to the troubled. Ho is a man of his word, and is first in anything to help the Church; when the Church needs money, he is the first and best giver. Through Mr Leong Cho Shin the Christians here are firm in their bcicf. I think if all of our churches had good elders, they would rise and have vast followers of ChrisC. S. B. tianity. OBITUARY.

Henry M. Whitney was the t~\\ t 1f * \ r nr-f • I\1 CW hi it t ll 1 t x (\? til I * (*"ir"lii*^t �13 THE FRIEND born white children in Hawaii. His father was the Rev. Samuel Whitney, one of the pioneer band of missionaries of 1820, whose home was at Waimea, Kauai. Henry was the third child, born June 5, 1824. With his brother Samuel, two years older, he was sent at the age of five, to make his home in Rochester, N. V., with a relative ofMrs. Whitney. There the two lads became fitted for college, Samuel graduating in the Amherst class of '43, and afterwards entering the Baptist ministry. He has recently deceased. Henry at the age of 18, found it inexpedient to enter college on account of deafness, and after receiving some business training, learned the trade of a printer. He was for some years in employment in New York City. While acting as a foreman in the printing house of 1 larper and Bros., in 1849, he received an appointment from Honolulu, to take charge of the printing office of the Hawaiian Government Promptly setting out via Panama and San Francisco, he arrived in Honolulu in September, 1849. Mrs. Whitney, married to him the day before he sailed, followed him to Honolulu around Cape 1lorn. During the greater part of the subsequent 55 years, Mr. Whitney has been prominent as a printer and editor, besides being for more than twenty years a member of the Royal Privy Council of State. His character made him prominent in the business community. For many years he was the only bookseller of the town, and some of our prominent business men received their early training under him. On July 2, 1856, Mr. Whitney issued the first number of the Pacific Commer-cial Advertiser, which continues to be the leading newspaper of Honolulu. Its character was always high during his editorship, both politically and morally. Mr. Whitney was for thirty-eight years a faithful member of the Bethel Church, and a consistent Christian, although debarred by deafness from prominence in religious exercises. His influence was always strong and positive for whatever was high and pure in morals and religion. Mr.""Whitney for many years held the office of Postmaster General at different periods. He designed and issued the earliest Hawaiian postage stamps, some of the rare specimens of which now command fabulous prices. Personally he was an attractive and lovable man, of somewhat impressive appearance, and retaining to the last of his eighty years his erectness and a good degree of his animation and activity. It was the writer's privilege to meet him on the street two days before his sudden death. He seemed full of cheer, although expecting, as he said, soon to become totally blind, an afflicton from which he has been happily and painlessly taken ticket." away into the light of Heaven. An unmarried son, and two daughters survive our dear friend. The latter, Mrs. Helen Kelley and Mrs. Wm. Goodale, of Waialua plantation, each have several children, and the former a recently marlied daughter. These dear friends may rejoice in an honored parentage. S. E. B. “SCRATCH” BY ALL MEANS! "There was a man in our town, Who was so wondrous wise, He * * * scratched—etc." There's wisdom in scratchng, even if the authority of the above seems doubtful. We believe there is much political sagacity in scratching especially in local affairs. Yes, Mr. Editor of the Advertiser, we are with you in your contention that only good men should get good votes here. In this little Territory, where other "isms" "Republicanism" and haven't begun to mean anything much, it is our opportunity to make them mean something by the standards we set up. If the Republican party persists in putting forward itspiebald ticket with a lot of stuff worse than merely useless on it, because forsooth, it can be elected, let the party suffer till it learns political wisdom. Of course it won't appear to suffer while this pitiful quackery of "party loyalty" dominates otherwise intelligent men. So long it may continue to elect its candidates,—and the Territory will do the suffering. What the Republican party wants is sufficient of a sharp lesson to make it clear that there are enough clean and capable men in this Territory to require that sort of men on the tickets. Then, if there is all that difference between a goodRepublican and a good Democrat that some claim there is, there will be the likelihood of a first-rate alternative, if one wants to vote either ticket • What security have the tax- payers for that? He will have to make it worth their while. What are your exthieves and gamblers in politics for? But, with all respect to the Governor, we don't want men he can manage. We want the kind of men who can not be managed by him or any one else. Perhaps we are not quite ready to have our legislative body a mere arm of the executive, good as it is. Now we contend that a good deal of this "loyalty to party" talk is vicious. There has been too much already of such as this, —"you won't get any attention to your pleas for good roads till you come into our party camp." "If you arc to expect anything of the administration, you must work for a set of men pleasing to that administration." What plan could be better adapted to the raising up of a host of sycophant voters? Isn't the fruit already evident in the Hawaiian vote? "I'm a Republican, lend me a dollar,"—haven't you heard it? There is no way of teaching the Hawaiian the ethics of voting like the "turning" down of worthless candidates. Now he is urged to vote the straight ticket, good or bad. No, no; teach him to be wise and scratch. Scratch out poor trash, without regard to color. * * * * "And when he found his eyes were out ***** lie jumped and scratched them in again." Ayc.that'sthe only cxcusefor scratching these sorts of fellows in on any ticket again, viz., "When our eyes arc out." Thank heaven, we see all right yet! Moral: As there is some good material on the Democratic ticket, here's our political creed: —As for me and my house, we will scratch faithfully. T. R. * "The voters of Honolulu arc entitled to know at the earliest possible date whether the Repuhlican party of Hawaii has a public straight. gambling plank up its sleeve or not. are also entitled to know whether they '■Primaries?"

A citizen generally finds that the "job-chaser" has preceded him at the primaries, and unless he is willing to force himself into obnoxious prominence, he hasn't any chance of affecting the situation. But his vote counts, and if the primary managers got it into their heads that there were independent voters to deal with, not a lot of puppets, labelled "My Party, Wrong or Right," there would be a different set put on the ticket. "Scratch, brothers, scratch with care." What's this? "The Governor can manage this riff-raff element on th^ primaries?" illegally drawing a public salary. "The community awaits the outcome with eager interest."—Advertiser, Sept. 28. Saloon Selections. WHAT LABOR GETS. In the manufacture and sale of liquor less money is paid for labor in proportion to the cost to the consumer, than in the manufacture and sale of any other commodity. If a laboring man buys $100 worth of boots and shoes, he buys $20.71 of labor. �THE FRIEND 14 In buying $100 worth of furniture he buys $23.77 °f labor. In every $100 worth of hardware he buys $24.17 of labor. In every $100 worth of clothing he buys $17.42 of labor. In every $100 worth of cotton goods he buys $16.91 of labor. In every $100 worth of men's furnishing goods he buys $18.34 of labor. In every $100 worth of worsted goods he buys $13.55 of labor. In every $100 worth of woolen goods he buys $12.86 of labor. In every $100 worth of liquors he buys $1.23 of labor. J f eight laboring men spend $800 for furniture, hardware, clothing, cotton, wonted and woolen goods and men's furnishing goods, they contribute $137.43 to labor, and at the same time they bring valuable supplies to their families, they stimulate business and add to the demand for labor. If the $800 is spent in the saloon only $9.84 goes for labor, the families are made wretched, and the men themselves are made worse, physically, financially and morally, their jobs are imperiled and they have wasted their money.—National Bureau of Statistics. BOTH PARTIES FRIENDLY. A careful canvass on the political situation made among representative liquor dealers shows that the trade in general was well pleased with Judge Barker's speech of acceptance. It is considered safe and conservative ami has made a good impression. There is, however, little interest, speculation or discussion manifested in the present campaign. The impression seems to prevail that Roosevelt will be elected, but if he should not be, the other man is considered equally sound and safe. Interest in this campaign seems to have died out. —From the Wine and Spirit Gazette, "universally recognized as the leading exponent in the United States of the liquor interests," Xew York, August 31, 1904. WHO ENTERED POLITICS FIRST. The liquor dealers entered politics first. The liquor dealers of the State of Xew York, at their convention in Syracuse in 1855 covenanted together as follows: "Rksoi.vko, That all liquor dealers, importers, and jobbers, grocery keepers, saloon and hotel keepers, brnvers, hopgrowers, bottlers of cider, manufactur- crs, and all others in any 'way connected with or interested in the liquor business, do hereby pledge themselves upon their li7'CS, property and sacred honor. THAT THEY WILL SUPPORT NO MAN FOR ANY 118 WILL OFFICE WHATEVER UNLESS SOLEMNLY AGREE TO SUSTAIN THEIR IN- . TEREST IN EVERY I'ARTIt 11.AX." The same course was promptly adopted by all liquor dealers throughout the nation.—New Voice. INFORMATION WANTED. Dr. P, S.

Dr. Henson has but one eye, and his affliction once attracted the attention of a professed Christian Scientist, who wore what were patently "store teeth." He remarked, with just a suspicion of gloating THE in his tone: "Now, my dear Dr. Henson, if you were a Christian Scientist you would have two good eyes." "Perhaps," was the Doctor's comment.

ALRAIH Bishop Vincent tells of an incident that helped to make interesting a summer he spent in the mountains of Tennessee. Strolling thoughtfully along one day, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a very active camp - meeting of negroes. Two or three ministers present recognized him. introduced him to others, and soon the Bishop found himself so popular that he was fairly dragged to the speakers' platform and asked to say something to the assemblage, lie consented; and one of the blacks stepped forward to introduce the unexpected visitor. This master of ceremonies went right to the point. He bade the gathering know that they were all of one pur]>osc and spirit, notwithstanding the difference in complexion, and wound up as follows: "Now, brethren and sisters, Brother Vincent, as yo' can see for yo'selves, is white of face; but at heart, let me tell yo'—at heart, I say!—he is as black as any of us."
