By a prearranged code word, Dr. Scudder was notified at Dcs Moines, la., by cablegram from Honolulu on the 14th, that the Hawaiian Board had voted, that if Ik- could secure aid for the work of the evangelization of the Japanese on Hawaii, to an amount sufficient for the passage- money and a of four Japanese evangelists, he should announce the fact by cable. Then the men should be engaged in Japan and sent hither as early as possible. A cablegram was received from Dr. Scudder at Dcs Moines, on the morning of the 19th, reading, "four." By the S. S. Mongolia, that afternoon, word was sent to the agent of the Hawaiian Board in Japan to send four year's support more evangelists for Hawaii. We hope soon to see these four men and their partners located on as ny ny of our plantations, ministering to their needy countrymen. KOEPISCOPOS.

Albert S. Baker, M. U., to the post of missionary to Kona, vacant for so many years. Dr. Baker is the first appointee under the combined auspices of the Congregational Home Missionary Society and the Hawaiian Board. He is the pioneer of a new order of Christian enterprise in these Islands. Dr. Baker was born in South Dennis, Mass., nearly 33 years ago. Sprung from a sturdy line of Cape Cod Vikings, with him the love of the sea is an inherited passion. He grew up in a Christian home whose doors ever swung open in hospitable welcome to ministers and missionaries, and the wonderful story of the winning of the Pacific Islands to Christ, supplemented by personal investment in the Morning Star, fired him early with the ambition to carry thither the Banner of the Cross himself. As years came the tidings of completed work in these regions seemed to shut the door, but strangely enough no sooner was his preparation ended than a summons reached him from Hawaii, the promised land of his early visions. Dr. Baker has had a rare training for the field he is to occupy. His more formal educational course has comprised the laying of the usual public school foundation in his native town, high school work in Gloucester, four years at Amherst with degree of A. B. cum laudc in 1894, four years more in Harvard Medical School from 1895--1899, suggested to him by the famous Pacific Island missionary, Dr. Paton, and culminating in a second cum laudc degree (M. D.), Amherst granting him his M. A. for special research meanwhile, and finally after another interval two years at Boston University, md one at Vale Divinity giving him his bachelor degree in theology last summer. The intervals, noted above, supplemented scholastic labors with the training of extended travel. During 1894 ,nd 1895 Dr. Baker visited Europe, lingering long in Italy and Greece, where he penetrated far into the interior, he journeyed through Egypt as far as the first cataract and took an extensive horseback trip in Palestine. His missionary interest carried him to a number of the more famous stations in these eastern regions. Later on, after completing his medical studies, overwork demanded first a year,of rest and next a second year of travel through nearly all of the United States. Three months were spent as a cowboy in Colorado, hunting, fishing and cow-punching. Practical. Christian work has never been lost sight of amid all this varied �5 THE FRIEND experience. Beginning at once to do his part in the service of his Church when as a boy of twelve he joined the Army of the Cross, he soon became a leader in one of the earliest C. E. societies, threw himself heartily into Y. M. C. A. work later on in Gloucester, served as C. E. president in the Amherst Village Church, and subsequently in Boston Union Church, also as member of the standing committee and for four years Sunday School Superintendent of the latter. "The best superintendent we ever had," is his pastor's testimony. He was ordained during the past summer. Dr. Baker, although unmarried, does not come alone. His mother, Mrs. Ruth B. Baker, who has all along been his constant companion, will make her home and work with him in Kona. Mrs. Baker is herself a well-known leader in Christian enterprise in Massachusetts, first as President of the Cape Cod Branch of the Woman's Board, next as President of the Amherst Auxilary of the same society and County President of the W. C T. U., then State Secretary of the latter organization and for three years Pastor's Assistant in Union Church, Boston. Dr. Baker and his mother reached Honolulu on the Aorangi, October 22, and went on to Kona the 25th. They will make their home with Miss Ella 11. Paris for a short time and then take a house in the neighborhood of the church at Kealakekua. The old Union Church will be at once revived and work will be carried on among all nationalities with vigor. As friend and adviser of the Hawaiian pastors, as a minister of healing to the sick, pushing new enterprises to win the young to Christian practice and train the churches to larger life and richer service, these experienced leaders will find abundant opportunity for the exercise of all their rare gifts. We welcome them to Hawaii and to the fellowship of our common missionary heritage. We pledge them our love and prayers. We wish them large success and the D. S. choicest blessings of God. DILATORY JUSTICE IS INJUSTICE. We are told that eight murderers lie in Oahu prison still untried. One of these is Jones, who, perhaps two years ago, cruelly shot down his wife and her mother. For the first crime he was acquitted on the ground of insanity of which he had never been suspected. For the elder woman's murder he still awaits trial. Now we have two shocking murders in quick succession. One is that of a prominent and beloved young citizen stabbed by a Porto Rican felon, who was convicted of murder in nine days after the crime, and in six days sentenced to death. This was prompt and satisfactory justice. The second is that of a young Hawaiian of education and prominent family, who without serious cause alleged, put five rapid shots into his cultivated young wife, in his own mother's presence. And now his counsel protests against the 'indecent haste" with which he is arraigned in court! It can scarcely be doubted that he was encouraged to his crime by the acquittal of the murderer Jones, and will be defended on the like plea of insanity. Failure of justice has bred fresh outrage. It is especially noticeable that on the arrest of the Porto Rican Miranda, immediate lynching was seriously threatened by an exasperated crowd. This is probably the first instance in Hawaii of the manifestation of inclination for irregular justice, and it was happily evaded by the police. It is here mentioned because it exhibits the natural effect upon the community of the shameful failure of justice in previous cases of murder. The infliction of wrong of any kind arouses in the mind a strong demand for redress. But when the sufferer is wronged unto death, and can seek no redress, but lies silent and helpless in his blood, the cry for his avengenient rises loud and high in the souls of his fellow men. God also hears that cry; it mounts Up to His ear. "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground," was Cod's terrible arraignment of Cain. The human heart cannot stifle that bitter cry, nor rest content, unless due vengeance is taken,upon the murderer. HenCe the inevitable inpulse to lynching, when the organized tribunals fail or are dilatory in executing justice upon homicides. Such lawless justice is itself a mischievous evil and must be repressed. Yet it originates in the righteous wrath of men's souls against cruel unredressed crime. It is therefore the solemn duty of the courts swiftly and sternly to execute justice upon the murderers, and not to leave their helpless victims unavenged. They cannot voice their own wrongsA and every dictate of duty and honor calls upon our courts to expedite justice in their behalf. The cry for such justice is deep and poignant. Nothing can be more shameful or dishonorabfe than the common practice of our American courts in countenancing quibbling and technical pleadings to prolong murder trials and defeat justice while the helpless victim's blood is crying to them from the ground. A solemn dread of doing fresh wrong to that victim should possess the souls of judges and jurors in the presence of such extreme crimes. Their ears should keep open to the bitter cry of the blood. A sacred duty lies upon them, and the men who tamper with that duty, and seek to prevent justice to the slain, cam the abhorrence of their fellow men. Let our courts sternly and vigorously hasten to execute justice upon murderers, so that indignant communities be not provoked unwisely to take justice into their own lawless hands. S. E. B. RELIGIOUS INTENTIONS OF RUSSIA. It is well known that the Greek Orthodox Church which rules in Russia, is characterized by an extreme bigotry and an intolerance of other Christian forms of worship fully equalling that of Rome three centuries ago. In connection with the present war, it is of importance for us to understand prevalent Russian sentiment respecting t'ne enforcement of religious belief among populations subjected by conquest. Some light may be obtained from the expressions in leading Russian Church papers, although the actual performance of the Russian Government would probably not proceed to such extremes. We quote the following from translations given in the Literary Digest of Sept. 10. The Stvannik (St. Petersburg) says: "The opposition to the retention of Manchuria proceeds from a misunderstanding of the mission which God has ordained for Russia. Our country is providentially' called to extend and maintain jthe Orthodox faith in the whole world. Left to themselves, the Chinese would not experience the need of receiving Christianty, and they would remain forever in the darkness of idolatry. Hence the divine law forbids Russia to return Manchuria to the Chinese." In regard to Korea, the same writer says: "The conquest of Korea by the Japan*ese would make it im]X)ssible for that country to become acquainted with the light of the gospel. In the name of her historical mission, therefore, Russia cannot allow any other state, even though it be a Christian state, but not Orthodox, to possess itself of Korea, but must extend her protectorate over it." The Viera i Tserkov, quoting the opinions of the most eminent representatives of the Russian clergy, declares that Russia will fulfil on earth the predictions of the prophets—she will establish the king- * * * �6 dom of God; and the time has come to commence this great work. It appears that the Russian Church papers "are doing their utmost to persuade the masses of the people that Russia, in seizing Manchuria, is fulfilling the decrees of providence; that the present war is a holy war, a crusade for the Christian ideal and for Christ; and that Japan is Antichrist." We do not apprehend that Russian statesmen would consider it practicabL to enforce the adoption of their religion by Oriental populations. But there seems the strongest reason to expect that they would strictly exclude from all regions coming under Russian sway, as they now do, the propagation of any other faith than that of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is certain that all Protestant as well as Roman Catholic missionaries, will he strictly excluded from Manchuria and Korea, whenever the Russians come into permanent possession. Japan, therefore, in the present war, occupies the position of champion of Religious Freedom as opposed to Russia, the champion of Intolerance. The war in the Orient is not only against the crushing sway of Russian Despotism; it is also against the remorseless blighting of Russian Church Bigotry. S. E. B. A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. We are glad to repriit from The Pacific the following personal testimony of the Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Oakland, Cal.: That was touching news indeed which the elect missionary lady brought home to Three Oaks, that the great-hearted Samuel T. Alexander lies under the sands of Africa, until the morning of the resurrection. I am not sure that I can write of it, but my heart seeks some vent for genuine feeling. Others will speak and write of him in detail, and show what his life was in all its wide interests. I can but touch my pencil with a tear and tell what this generous Christian was to me, one of the least and latest of his countless friends- I could have wished to come to California earlier to make mid-life friendship with such a merchant man, fisher, hunter, friend. Good Pacific, let me tell others how good he was. Other men who don't make speeches, or shine at conventions, or get their name in the papers, may take heart that human love, gentleness, and generosity are better than silver, or assertion, or conspicousness. Surely his paster can speak of him now without the interdict of his modest parishioner, as he loves to speak of the sainted THE FRIEND Phillips Brooks. What a memorial service that will be when many try to tell in the prayer-meeting what this good man wsfs to them in the bereaved yet blessed church! Let me tell one thing of him. No man has done so much in California to aid my passion for helping struggling churches of Jesus Christ. Many Minneapolitans put leaven in my hands to lift the prairie churches out here. I have been only a humble corporal where General McLean has held the field. Good general he! A friendly introduction brought me generous consideration, and has been the largest ingredient in such crumbs of comfort as I could extend with sympathy to pastors of struggling churches. I once shied a hasty letter to him as he was getting ready to go abroad, nor was I surprised that no prompt answer came. Yet just before his good ship reached Oueenstown, he penned a letter which let me tell the waiting church and pastor his check would surely come to bind their generous pledges. Once when he could not give, he gave such a good reason why, not in cold, curt typewriting, but with personal, pleasant autograph. None will better appreciate this sincere tribute of praise than the generous friends who help a retired old parson do little bits of good until he shall go where this great heart has gone. Your sunny philanthropist isn't under Victoria sods. He's joined the brilliant coterie in the skies, where they tell of the redemption of the Pacific islanders. We do not dream of them as catching sharks, hunting elk, or bagging .African lions; but they have welcomed this happy, helpful, heroic heart who went to Africa as devotedly and bravely as ever Livingstone or Stanley did. It is a richer land for many of us, because his dust sanctifies it. NAURU OR PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION. Interesting letters of date September 7 and 8 were received from Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte on the 19th of Oc tober, from which we make extracts. Under date of Sept. 8 Mr. Delaporte writes: I have never been so much pressed for time as I am just now. I am in the midst of getting our new school book, containing geography, dictionary and other matter, through the "press," and hope to have it ready by the ist of October, when I shall begin to rush our catechism through before the new year. The latter book is not only revised, but over ioo pages are the remaining pages I shall type soon. I expect to get the material for this book from Sydney, October 17th. 1 have applied at Kusaie to have our 300 page Bible Stories printed there, and trust to receive a reply next Friday- Should the friends there beunable to print from my typewritten MSS. without my presence, I shall have to mimeograph this book also. Thus my people will have three valuable new books in their hands early next year. This entails much expense and labor. After that I shall be free to complete the New Testament. As far as the Master's work is concerned, we can give a good report. We have been blessed very much during the past few months. Peace and good will predominate among the people. Our chiefs are becoming more and more enlightened and exert a good, healthy Christian influence over their people. Our schools are at present attended by the smaller children, as the young people are engaged by the government to make roads and build houses. I believe that a certain amount of work does them good. ()ur native teachers are faithful and do well. I believe that our Bible Catechism will do much towards promoting a thorough knowledge of what it means to be a Christian among those who are not able to attend school regularly. Our people are hungry for books and I shall try to satisfy their desire. We have noticed lately that the people are more attentive than formerly during our Sabbath services, especially during the sermon. Late in July, the Governor arrived from Jahut on the schooner Triton, and spent ten days on this island. We enjoyed his visit very much. On August 7th, Messrs. Ellis and Swanton, two earnest Christian gentlemen, and a German surveyor and several others came over from Banana (Ocean Island) on the S. S. Windsor. They stayed with us for three days, which was indeed a treat. The island is now being surveyed and arrangements are being made to begin operations for the shipping of phosphates within twelve months. A large wharf and railroad are among the proposed improvements on our hitherto forgotten island. About 1000 laborers will be brought here from Ruk and the Mortlock Islands. The company will do all they can to help our Mission work. They have just now put up, free of charge, a large wooden church building for the natives of Banaba. Will it surprise you to hear that Mrs. Delaporte and two of the children will sail into Honolulu about the end �THE FRIEND of October? Messrs. Arundel, Ellis and Swanton, the owenrs, or charterers, of many steamers, have kindly consented to take them on the S. S. Inger, which is to take a cargo of phosphate to the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company, Honolulu, from Banaba to Honolulu direct. She will leave here about September 25th for Banaba, to stay until the steamer is loaded, with Mr. and Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Delaporte has now been away from Germany seven years and has spent most of this in the tropics, time and has now been strongly advised to seek a cooler climate for a This is an opportunity which will perhaps not offer itself again for years, to get to Honolulu in such a direct and quick way. As Honolulu will not be a great change of climate, I will have to leave it to the friends there to decide if the means can be raised to send her for a few months to her home and parents in Germany. If this change will prove beneficial to her health, we shall then be able to spend another number of years here to do our dear Master's work. Mrs. Delaporte, whom you will soon see, will tell you all the Nauru news. season. 7 telligent and honest citizen body to, with no uncertain voice, decide at the polls. In spite of the unsettling events above mentioned, business throughout the community seems to be improving. The present season has been a very good one for the sugar growers, and the dividends paid by the large plantations have been larger and more numerous than for some time past; as usual, this has had a marked effect upon all lines of business. The stock market, which has for months been more a name than anything else, now reports daily sales of stock amounting to several (). 11. G dollars, purchases as high as ten shares being not uncommon. Sugar, which many prophesied would never again see four cents a pound, has proved itself recklessly careless of the reputation of the cents.

We are 2000 miles nearer the Orient than is the mainland, and there seems no reason why, when once we are prepared to supply those markets, we should not take their trade. Great improvements are being made in the Honolulu water system. That that system was far from adequate and that it fell far short of meeting Honolulu's increasing demands has been apparent for several years. The loan bill of the last Legislature covered a complete new system, which at writing, has practically been completed. It grants water facilities to many who have been without the zone of Government service and secures to many localities which were in hourly danger from fires, with no means of extinguishing the same, that protection which only a sufficient and ever-ready supply of water can grant. Much work has been done by the Courts during the last month, hut the cases on the civil side have been, without exception, matters of private rather than public importance. Many of the cases in the criminal division, however, have aroused great and general interest, and none more than that of Jose Miranda, the man by whose murderous hand fell Mr. S. E. Damon, the universally respected and admired son of Hon. S. M. Damon. Before this paper goes to press the murderer will, with his life, have paid the penalty for this, the most brutal deed in all our criminal history. The Supreme Court has affirmed the B. 11. Wright, and he has begun his long three years of penal servitude for his defalcations while in the Government employ. Edward S. Boyd, the former head of the Public Lands Office, has likewise been found guilty of embezzling large sums of money in his department, hut his case has gone up to the Supreme Court for further adjudication. The course of justice is run slowly amongst us, but the results seem to indicate that the guilty party is fully as likely to receive his dues in Hawaii as in any other part of the civilized world. sentence of MISSION COUSINS PASSING AWAY. MEMORIAL MEETING FOR THOSE LATELY It is only should now the children flourished in DEPARTED. a natural thing that there be much mortality among of the missionaries who Hawaii from fifty to eighty years ago. A majority of those children are aging. They are approaching or passing the line of three score and ten. It was during the decade of the thirties, vividly remembered by the present writer, that there was here the largest number of young missionary families. A large number of children were born during that decade. Those little ones crowded the young children's school of Marcia Smith at General Meeting times, in 1838-9. Of those there linger among us many aged people, and some still in active life. But among them is an increasing mortality, and soon they will mostly have departed. They leave behind them a great company of their children in active life, here and on the Mainland. And there are large numbers of their grandchildren entering active life. This is not cause for sorrow. It is good for the aged to depart, after filling out lives of service. They pass on to a bright Beyond, where One prepares for them "a Place," who is "the Resurrection and the Life." They are ready soon to move forward. And yet there is a tender pathos about it all, as we watch them one after another sinking clown in their places. A special meeting was held on the evening of Sept. 26, in the auditorium of the Preparatory School at Oalnt College, in memory of several deaths which have occurred among the Cousins since their last meeting on April 30th, An account of the exercises at that meeting is here condensed from the full and careful report which appeared in the P.

Her favorite verse was "Therefore shall ye draw water with joy out of the wells of salvation." She also paid a brief and touching tribute to Mrs. Reed, formerly Mrs. Shipman, who died before the last annual meeting but within the year. The meeting closed with the singing of "()ft in the Stilly Night." tribute to Mrs. Louise C Westervelt, in "COUSINS." "In spite of her frailty of body and suffering, her home was always a happy one. She entered with enthusiasm her husband's mission work and delighted She in the sports of young people. sympathized with those in trouble and often gave of her scant strength when she had none to spare. She repeatedly has accepted offices in ladies' societies and occupied them with ability when as it afterwards showed, her strength was not equal to the self-imposed task. But we appreciated the effort and loved her for the sweet willingness to give more than she was able. And here lies the strongest characteristic of Mrs. Westcivelt's life—the constant effacement of self that she might not mar the pleasure nor interfere with the work of those about her. She was so fearful lest her weakness and frequent attacks of illness should hinder Mr. Westervelt's usefulness that she often denied herself the pleasure of his company, and sent him unwillingly to fields of work, remaining alone to bear the attacks of mortal pain. Even in the daily agony of tlu last months of her life she greeted all her friends with a smile which was all sweetness and let none of us know the suffering she was passing through." "Lead Kindly Light" was then sung, when Mr. W. O. Smith spoke of Mrs. Sybil Augusta Carter, partly as follows: "Mrs. Carter's life is an inspiration and it is a pleasure to speak of her. I do not think of her as dead. Hers was a beautiful life, a life of faith, a sterling character. She had much to endure, but always bore herself with jjracc, dignity and kindness. These traits made her much sought after in Washington. While her husband was away and all through her varied experiences the beauty of character she showed marked her as a distinguished woman. She had sublime faith in the Tightness of things and through the most intense suffering always looked on the broader side. She will live in the memory of those who knew her as a cheering thought and in spiration, so lovable, so strong." Miss Chamberlain spoke of Mrs. Jo- The Cousins will be sorry to hear that Miss Martha Chamberlain has been laid aside from her busy life by a stroke of apoplexy. The great burden of sympathy she carried for the bereaved cousins, the sick and the sorrowing, was too heavy. On the afternoon of October 4th she presided at the meeting of the Woman's Board of Missions. She asked that every verse of the hymn, "Cod Mines in a Mysterious Way," be sung, and selected that beautiful chapter, Isaiah 40, for her remarks. She had many times, she said, when faint and sleepless, gone out into the night and looked up at the stars for help, and when she saw how "He stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain and Bpreadeth them as a tent to dwell in, who calkth the stars by name by the greatness of His power," she had gone to her rest comforted, being made to know that, "The Mighty God fainteth not, neither is weary." Her voice rolled out strong and clear on the words "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord," and as she read on and on through the chapter she seemed to take into her soul all the grand promises. When she sat down, her cares, as well as all the little things of life, seemed dropping from her hand, and we almost felt that she was leaving earth behind and mounting up on eagle's wings to that home where we may run and not be weary, walk and not faint. The meeting was broken up, the doctor called, and she was taken to the Sanitarium, where she is slowly recovering. We expect to sec her with us again, but in the meantime this is her message, ringing out in her own voice: "Comfort vc, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord." Not twenty-four hours had elapsed since the close of the Memorial meeting, when another was called away. This time one of our officers, S. E. Damon, was taken. He was a young man, talented, educated, polished, fitted for a great social and business future, with part as follows: �THE FRIEND. 10 a young wife and little children about ties who had gathered to attend the City everything to make life dc Union Rally.

Reports from the various churches indicate the increasing difficulty of carrying the financial burdens which fall upon the shrinking membership. From Hanaki came tin- report of the minister's salary short during a period of over two years. The Koolau church reports just having cleared off a similar debt by means of a concert. Kapaa and I lanapcpe are similarly in arrears. In other words, four mil of the seven Hawaiian churches have during the past six months been in arrears in tin- matte-r of pastors' support. and this in spite of the fact that these churches receive substantial assistance from outside source's. The reasons for this difficulty in supporting the pastor are- twofold. First, there is more or less of a tendency to relegate the pastor's sal ary to a secondary place in the finances of the church. Special expenditures for such objects as Sunday School exhibitions anil young people's meetings, together with carriage hire and collations for the same, nice! with more popular favor than the regular minister's salary, and accordingly the treasury is drained for these purposes- at the expense of regular obligations. The world over, church and charitable obligations fail to rank with business obligations. Second, These Hawaiian country churches are unquestionably poor; poorer perhaps than they need be, because of thriftless habits, but poor nevertheless. In many of them families receiving $35 a month could he counted on one baud, and many families have no reliable income at all. Out of so meagre an income the most generous and devoted people in the world could not give largely. And in most of these country churches the shrinking constituency has dwindled down to a very small number, without a correspondingly decreasing expense, so that the burden at best must be- borne by a few. The problem of these shrinking country churches is a pressing one-, the solution of which lies in the direction of fusion with other incoming races. The Hanapepe report indicates one of the phases of the peculiar Hawaiian loint of view in ethical matters. The [elcgate reported the minister's salary as nil\ paid up: but in response to interogation frankly admitted that it wasn't actually paid up, but it was "promised."

A request has recently been made by some of the Chinese young men for an evening school for the study of English three evenings of the week at the Chinese church, this being in addition to the regular evenings Opened to them at the Settlement. The request has been granted, and at present there are nine young men in attendance and they show a marked degree of enthusiasm in their work. The Chinese of Paia have asked for the opening of a Chinese school for instruction in the Chinese language, and steps are being taken for the establishment of such a school. It is hoped by so doing that it will prove a center for Christian work among the Chinese there. Mr. Lav Hce of Hamakuapoko will be asked to take charge of the school.

Among them are some very promising boys. An experiment with the cacao industry, in connection with the "experiment station," is being tried at the school. The young plants are starting well, though they have been kept back by the Japanese beetle. �THE FRIEND CHINESE FIELD NOTES. "Three weeks ago our church took Communion and we hael two babies baptised. Every Sunday we have a good meeting, because many Christians come to church, anel we have about thirty children come to Sunelay School. I think the Christians are better now than before."

We heartily congratulate Japan anil can say that her name stanels high in the minds of all Americans. Just a few weirds in regard to a few of the many interesting points of Japan's marvelous exhibits. Ist.

A Japanese proverb says: "One not having seen "Nikko" cannot say "kcko" or "beautiful." Americans not vet having had the pleasure of going to Japan can now say "beautiful," having seen this magnificent gate from Nikko. Tt would take a week to tell of all the beautiful things here, finest carvings in ivory, gold and silver, handsome vases, beautiful screens, silks and embroideries, delight all who come.
