THOMAS L. GULICK. Mombasa, British F. Africa. August 21. 1904. Dear Mrs. Gulick :— After three months absence in the interior of this great continent. Annie and I arc back again here at Mombasa. I am pleased to report that we are both in very good health and arc starting for South Africa. From Cape Town we will take a steamer to Kngland. and 1 hope to see you about the first of November next. I wrote you at length from the north extremity of Lake Baringo after receiving the overwhelming news of poor Tom's death. The first news was stunning, but, if anything, the sense of bereavement and loss has grown ujx>n mc. I can realize how lonely and sad you must feel without his kindly face and cheering presence. I feel now that I more fully appreciate Tom's worth. There is no one that will fill his place. During the rest of my brief life that remains to me, notwithstanding my family ties and friends, there will be an aching void, which nothing can fill. On the first receipt of the sad news, my first impulse was to abandon my caravan and rush off to Kijabi, but on reflection, I realized that there would be nothing gained by doing so. Tom was gone, and I could not bring him back to life again. I had gone to great expense in collecting a gang of men and provisions ; more than that, Annie was with me, and I had to consider her in the matter, so we concluded to leave out the trip to Lake Albert Nyanza, Ruwenzori, and the Toro country, and visit only Gatisen Gishu and Lake Victoria Nyanza. Well, we have had two months of wild life. We have been among wild tribes and wild animals. We have heard the lions roar by day and by night, and we have chased them and shot them, too. We have seen vast herds of giraffes and zebras. We have killed rhinos and elephants, besides specimens of most all the animals in this country. Annie will have skulls and skins by the dozen for the University of California. She has taken a great many photographs, too; several in which Tom appears will interest you. We have the skulls of three animals which Tom shot, which in due time you will receive. After leaving Entebbe, we went direct �THE FRIEND. Kijabi, and spent four days with the Hurlburts. I was amazed to find that Mr. Hurlburt had not written you the particulars of Tom's last illness. I took it for granted that he would do so. At my request he sat right down and wrote you. Annie has taken photographs of the house anil people, and of the lovelyto spot where Tom rests, which we will take to you on our return. Where Tom rests is indeed a beautiful spot, but, oh! the inexpressible sadness that came over me as I looked on his grave. I almost wished that I slept beside him. "Oh! for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." 1 was very much pleased with the Hurlburts. They are kindness itself and most devoted people. I felt at home the moment 1 came under their friendly roof. All the children, five in number, are very interesting. If love ever dwelt home, it does in that. in a with us and join in the fun.

If he had come hack then, I think his life might have been saved.

Hoping to find a letter from you at Cape Town, I remain as ever. Most sincerely yours, SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. 5 and Mr. Hurlburt was able to report his death only to his companion, Mr. S. T. Alexander, then far in the interior. Not until two months later did Mr. Alexander's arrival cause the letter to Mrs. Gulick to be written. THE DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL T. ALEXANDER. As published by Rev. Dr. James M. Alexander. Further particulars of the death of Mr. Samuel T. Alexander have been received in a letter written by his daughter, Annie, at Victoria Palls. On Sept. 7th, Mr. Alexander and his daughter were at Bulawayo, and thence rode to Notes from letter of Rev. Charles E. visit the grave of Cecil Rhodes at MataHurlhurt of Kijabi to Mrs. A. W. pao. The air was cool and exhilarating, Gulick, of August 16, 1904. but Mr. Alexander seemed a little deMr. Hurlbut went to the Kijabi sta- pressed, and said that he felt a foretion on June 10, to meet Mr. Gulick whom he found quite prostrated. He had consulted physicians at Nakuru and Kaivasha, all of whom agreed that he only needed rest and milk diet to be all right in two or three days. The train was run two miles near to the mission station, and Mr. Gulick was carried the remaining half mile in a hammock. He was delighted to find rest among friends, I concluded from all that I could learn, that Tom did not suffer much, except for a brief period when the inflammation set in. He was cheerful and happy, and expected to get well. His sudden breakdown and entire collapse \ do not understand. I always thought he had more vigor and vitality than I. Of the two, I thought he would last the longer. Without doubt, his bowel trouble on the way to Nairobi, must have had something to do with it. I remember that while we were at the Nakuru station, we took a walk down to the lake, some four miles distant, and Tom seemed quite exhausted by the trip. I begged him on this occasion, not to attempt the trip to Baringo unless he felt fully equa to it. I am satisfied that lie felt that he ought to give it up, but |KK>r fellow, he wanted to be felt quite comfortable, and rested well that night. On the morning of the nth he was very cheerful, and asked many Questions about the missionary work. Hut in the afternoon the bowel trouble recurred with much pain, and temperature 102 degrees. The pain was promptly relieved by hot applications. Mr. Hurlhurt at once sent a messenger to the mission doctor, who was 24 miles away. Dr. Henderson lost his wav in coming, and did not arrive till 11 .30 p. m. of Sunday, the 12th, when Mr. Gulick was quite comfortable. He seemed much improved on Monday, and took broth with relish. On the 15th, at noon, the doctor pronounced the disease absolutely under control, and that his presence was not longer needed. But about 4 p. m. the patient experienced a sudden change and fell into a rapid collapse from which all possible restoratives only slightly rallied him. He was buried on the 16th in a lovely spot under the cedars and wild olives. Besides Mr. Hurlhurt and the doctor, Messrs. Stauffacher and William Judd were present to bear the coffin. Mr. I lurlhurt addressed the whites and Dr. Henderson the natives ,and "after prayer and song, 'Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea,' we laid the body to rest." Owing to desire to keep the patient quiet, and to expectation of his speedy recovery, all statement about Mr. Gulick's own family had been postponed, boding of disaster. In the evening, they took the cars for Victoria Falls, and there arrived the following morning. In the afternoon, (Sept. Bth), they walked out to take their first view of the Falls, and Mr. Alexander again spoke of his foreliodings and carefully informed his daughter where to find his letters of credit and the tickets for their voyage on the steamer to leave Capetown for England, on Sqit. 28. The next morning, at 9:45 o'clock, they crossed by cable over the chasm of the Zambesi to obtain a better view of the Falls at the opposite shore. They observed that men were constructing a foundation for a bridge and throwing rocks and earth into the canyon but they thought nothine of it. Finding a trail leading into the ravine, called Palm Grove, they descended by it, at 12 o'clock, �THE FRIEND. 6 to view the falls from below. Mr. Alexander was much interested in comparing the Falls with Niagara. Tie thought it too divided to be grand, but very beautiful. The trail was very rocky, but Mr. Alexander skipped ahead like a boy, calling to his daughter to follow. They had just clambered over some great boulders to look up into the terminus of the waterfall, when they observed small rocks falling down the precipice, about 350 feet high, directly above them. They instantly turned and ran, the daughter ahead. Looking up she saw two men leaning over a railing watching herself and her father. When they had run about 30 yards, and seemed to be out of danger, the daughter set up her camera, while her father stood leaning against a rock six or eight feet distant observing her. Something caused her to look up, and she saw a boulder, about three feet thick, bounding toward her. It seined likely to pass by at a little distance ; but striking a rock it veered, and struck her father's foot, and she found him writhing on the ground. She called to the men above for help and ran to him. Three of them quickly arrived with bandages and cotton. Mr. Alexander said to bis daughter, "This ends my career, Annie; I am too old a man to stand an operation." The men bound up his foot, and bore him to a bamboo hut on the ridge; and there they waited for a doctor. Mr. Alexander said to his daughter, "Is this a dream, or a reality?" and again, "I am glad that it was I, and not you that was struck." When the doctor arrived, he dressed the foot, and stopped the bleeding which had been profuse. Mr. Alexander was then borne on a stretcher by six negroes, his daughter walking by his side, to the home of the doctor. He suffered much and complained of nausea. They were walking in deep sand through a dreary region of burnt brush, and to the great distress of his daughter, made slow progress. Mr. Alexander was finally carried into a neat little bamboo house on the doctor's premises, and there the amputation was performed, with administration of chloroform and with the aid The daughter of two white assistants. remained with him during the operation, and continued with him afterwards alone, while a negro errand boy was outside at the door. < )nee the doctor came and administered strychnine livpodermically; but Mr. Alexander gradualy grew weaker, and died at half past two the next morning, Sept. 10. The funeral was conducted by Mr. Sykes. the Commissioner at Livingstone, four miles from Victoria Falls, and the was in a small graveyard which fenced with bamboo and ornamented fd large shade trees, A PRAYER.

In this somewhat Churches, and was invited to join the informal meeting assurances were given Hawaiian Board Committee. The committee was very successful in its work. Dr. Scudder made an exceptionally good presentation of problems we have to face in our missions. His speech before the National Council was concise, convincing and inspiring .and awakened a very great general interest in I lawaii. Representatives of four societies were personally consulted in regard to assisting, the Hawaiian Board in the solution of its problems and responded very encouragingly. The first official meeting of the committee from Hawaii was with the larger part of the Prudential Committee of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The benefit of the "personal touch" was evident at once. The American Board practically agreed to take the Pleasant Island Mission and send supplies, make visits in the New Morning Star, and take all the responsibility for the mission. Hawaii is to furnish the funds for the support of this mission as has been done in the past. Thus a heavy burden of responsibility was taken from the Hawaiian Board.' The American Board can take care of the mission with but little addition to its present Micronesian work. The second official meeting of the commute from the Hawaiian Board was with a very full representation of the. of hearty, sympathy and a free use of financial aid according to the judgment of the Hawaiian Board. It is probable that the financial assistance given this present year by the Congregational Home Missionary Society will be increased in the future. Prayer meetings of the superintendents of this society and a joint meeting of the secretaries of the National Society and the representatives of the auxiliary societies were attended by Dr. Scudder and the writer, while l'res. Jones interested hosts of friends by his enthusiastic conversations along the street and in the lobby of the hotel. A fourth society was interested in the,island work and substantial assurances were given that literature would be granted to aid our Sunday School work in English. This was from representatives of the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society. Besides this direct work with these four societies a large amount of important work for Hawaii was done in a personal way by each individual of the committee. In Chicago and all along the way, the need of close union between the missions of Hawaii and the churches of the mainland was urged by the writer, with large assurance of a purpose to respond with fellowship and nrayer. This was true of the. National representatives of the Anti-Saloon League as well as of the Congregational Churches. 7 Dr. Scudder is lieing warmly welcomed in the churches around New York and Boston and in his clear, expressive way is doing a large work for Hawaii. It should be said in this connection, that another member of the Hawaiian Board who was east during the summer was also able to enlist the interest of large congregations in our island work. Rev. Win. M. Kincaid. while in the east to receive his degree of "Doctor of Divinity," aided very materially in preparing the way for the successful work,of the committee from the Hawaiian Board. TRUE SOURCE OF THE PACIFIC COAST CURRENT. A new theory on this subject has recently been propounded in Science of Sept 9, by Rev. Dr. S. E. Bishop, one of the editors of The Friend. Having been sole editor from 1887 to 1902, he proposes to state his theory for the benefit of his old friends, the. subscribers of this paper, although time has not yet been given for the verdict thereon of the scientific world, nor for its verification by deep-sea temperature soundings. To begin with, the source of that vast body of nearly ice-cold water occupying the northwest coast of the American continent cannot possibly be in the Kuro Siwo or Japan "Gulf Stream," of which our physical geographies usually call it the continuation. We deny that source on three grounds: I'irst, it is impossible for such a current to be continuously propagated in compact form for 4000 miles after it must have been turned to the eastward near the Aleutian Islands. The Kuro Sirvo must necessarily fan out and become dissipated in the Mid-Pacific. Secondly, if the Kuro Siwo could be thus held compactly together, it would retain its original warmth. Or even if it became somewhat chilled in northern winters, it would become well wiarmed up during its long passage down the Coast in the summer months, whereas the Coast current retains its extreme chill as far south as the latitude of 35 degrees at all seasons of the year. An alleged chilling from the contact of Alaskan glaciers in latitude 57 degrees is impossible, because those glaciers send no bergs to the open ocean. But, Thirdly, A southeasterly transmisKuro Siwo cursion of the rent along the American coast is absolutely forbidden by the influence of the rotation of the globe. A wellknown law drives to the westward all currents of air or sea which proceed from higher latitudes towards the �8 Equator. They go from a region nearer the Earth's axis to one more distant from it, hence from a region of slower eastward movement to one driving more rapidly east. By the law of inertia, they are left behind as they approach the Equator, or in other words, are driven southwest. Such is the wellknown cause of the westward movement of the Trade Winds. By the operation of the same law the Kuro Siwo current, at the moment when it became deflected southerly by the American coast, would instantly acquire a westward movement, and leave the coast for the Mid-Pacific. If it is alleged that as a matter of fact, we do find the cold current setting southeasterly along the coast, we reply that this overcoming of a fixed law of motion, is only an evidence of some mighty ocean pressure from the west shouldering the current up against the land. After passing latitude 35 degrees, this westerly pressure appears to abate, and the whole current incontinently sweeps to the southwest, until it reaches Hawaii, 2200 miles away. What then is the true source of this great Cold Current, and this mighty ocean pressure from the westward? The answer can only be found in the well-known existence of a vast body of nearly ice-cold water, at 35 degrees F., which occupies all ocean depths of the Pacific below 2000 fathoms- This deep-sea cold stratum originates at the great Antractic glacier, where the South Pacific waters are chilled and by increased specific gravity descend to the bottom. Thus generated along a frontage of 4000 miles of solid glacier, this cold stratum slowly creeps up the deep ocean bed, pushed on by fresh supplies behind. It must ultimately find a region of emergence in the North Pacific, where it will be forced up to the surface against the shores of some continent. Where must this emergence to the surface take place ? The location of this emergence will be determined by the actionj of the Earth's rotation upon this northward moving current after it passes the Equator. That action must be the reverse of that upon currents approaching the Equator which are driven westward. Our deep-sea current will be powerfully driven to the eastward as it approaches the northern bounds of the Pacific. Therefore, its point of emergence must necessarily be along the Northwestern Coast of America. And there we actually find it, as an enormous body of extremely cold water occupying that coast from 55 degrees to 33 degrees north latitude. THE FRIEND. Such, we feel assured, is the true source of the Pacific Coast Current. Generated by the Antarctic glacier, and slumbering long in the sluggish womb of the Pacific depths, it is stung to life by the Earth's eastward rotation, and springs to birth as a vast fountain along the Pacific Coast, where it attempers sweetly the climates of great imperial States, finally moderating the otherwise torrid heats of Hawaii. S. E. B. LET AMERICA STAND WELL ARMED. This docs not mean that America should present a pugnacious attitude, or should show a disposition to attack other nations. It means that these are "troublous times," when war and national wrath pervade the atmosphere; and therefore it behooves America to stand fully armed, especially as to her naval force, so that no unscrupulous or angry belligerent may lightly trifle with her rights or assail her security. Such full armament makes for peace; because it, imposes caution upon possible enemies. There seems great reason for apprehension that the trend of present international politics is most seriously endangering the peace of all the great powers, including America, drawing them into the tremendous conflict already existing. America's liability comes not only from her immense and fast-growing commerce With the ()rient, but from her great trans-Atlantic commerce, which in case of, Great Britain being drawn into the war, is threatened with interference from Russia's construction of foodstuffs as contraband. In case of such construction being made, America will need to be in a position to speak positively and sternly. The writer has been deeply impressed by a recent article in the Contemporary Review, entitled, "Absolute Monarchs versus Free Peoples." This article very clearly |M>ints out the dangerous attitude of the German Emperor, who is deliberately allying himself with the Czar of Russia in a systematic attempt to enforce the principle of autocracy in Europe in subversion of liberal and constitutional government. It is a "Twentieth Century Reaction" against the development of national, liberty. While Germany is a highly cultivated and a generous nation, it has unhappily become in a great degr.-e subjugated to the excessive militarism of the Kaiser. That potentate has hecome enamored of Autocracy and is to the utmost playing into the hands of the Czar to help suppress liberty both in Russia and in the Balkan states. The liberties of Sweden and, Denmark are most seriously endangered, as well as that of Holland. England cannot long keep out of th« conflict, while the present attitude of France is uncertain, if even not pledged to Russia. In view of this reactionary and militant attitude of Germany; in view also of her obvious jntentinn to gain a controlling occupancy of Central China; in view of her clearly existing alliance with Russia for those ends ; and in view of the necessary antagonism of England,thereto, and her great liability to be drawn into the existing war as antagonist to Germany; it becomes evident that America, with her immense,interests in both Atlantic and Pacific commerce, will be in the most serious danger of being entangled in that terrific conflict And this would be the case, even if .America could stand idly by and permit England as the champion of liberal government to be overwhelmed by superior force. It therefore looks as if.it would be the height of unreason at such a juncture fur America to be sluggish in perfecting armament, on .which her chief dependence must be placed. Peace is a good thing to have, but beware of crying "Peace, peace, when there is no peace," but great national pirates are abroad, ravaging the world. It were well to hasten the armament of this great stategic .outpost of Hawaii in this mid-Pacific, before the storm of war breaks. It may help to avert war. S. E. P.. KUATLNHRPODKGUMA AKENA. The Kula road on Maui, like the upper Kona road on Hawaii, runs through a region which invites the homesteader. The soil is fertile, the climate bracing and fine and the view unsurpassed. Elevated, as it is, about two thousand feet on the lowest slopes of llaleakala, nearly the entire interior plain of Maui, the great sugar belt of the island, is spread out before the eye—beyond rises the western mountain range. At one end of the Kula road is Makawao, moist and windy; at the other Clupalakua, where the air is so still that the chirp of the cricket can be heard; both are regions of rare beauty. Between them the homesteads string along on the upper side of the road, occasion- ally reaching up the shoulders of the giant mountain. At Ulupalakua one is struck with the park-like aspect of the country. A line of rounding volcanic hills, which make down from the great crater of llaleakala towards the shore, gives distinction to the place. The summits which are back of Dr. Raymond's residence arc treecrowned and haunt you with their stately beauty. Between them are open pasture lands whose slopes rise and fall in �THE FRIEND. pleasing curves. The house itself, where a generous hospitality is dispensed, is embowered in foliage. Tall evergreens mark the spot from afar. Here the pride of India and the eucalyptus have become self-propagating. The lantana is in evidence everywhere on the lower side of the road. In places the black blight is killing it, but the slaughter is not yet great. In striking contrast to the stately beauty of Clunalakua is the forbidding aspect of Makena, its nearest steamer landing. Passing from one to the other you go out of a region of coolness and turf to one of heat and rocks. Such as it is, nothwithstanding, it is the chosen dwelling place of a group of Hawaiian*. They still show where PSkancle, the former chief of the region, had his house on a pile of rocks that juts out into the bay and forms a miniature promontory. I found the congregation at Makena mostly made Up of the children and grand-children of Mrs. Kamakakukaliiko. I baptised seventeen of them and received five into the church, one of another household also joining. We had one wedding. One of the granddaughters was married to one of the best Chinamen of the place. The mothers of these children were the ones who had attended to their religious education. The fathers were mostly away. Some had deserted their families. ( me mother in joining the church said, "I consecrate myself for the sake of my children. Though for years without a settled pastor, they had with the aid of two good deacons, kept up some kind of religious service. Mr. D. U.

I have good reason to be■e that this lack will soon be met. After five hours work at Makena we took the road to Kanaio, a settlement still more remote, eight miles further on. The road ascends twenty-five hundred feet and then descends towards the shore. As usual Mrs. ()punui took the lead. About half past four in the afternoon we came upon the group of people gathered about Kanaio church. They had been waiting two hours for us,but they had had their Sunday-school and were in good spirits. In this distant place ten were iwas received into church fellowship and three infants baptized, making in all that day sixteen received into the church and Those received at twenty baptized. Kanaio were all members of the local Society of Christian Endeavor. At this meeting I noted only one old person, and he was led up to us and introduced as the long-time deacon of the place. Judge George Kunukau is the other deacon and active man of the church. The memory of this day's service will long remain with me. The comfort of finding a community of young people so interested in the Simdav-school, the Society of Christian Endeavor and the church, was great, and hard as the trip is, I shall take it again and go with gladness. I was reminded by the experience of the day of the remark of a fellowstudent in Andover Theological Seminary. ()n returning from a New England parish after a particularly bard Sunday's experience as a church supply, he said: "I shall never settle in these parts, the people are too gospel-hardened. I shall go to a region where a minister is a variety." Oliver P. Emerson. HONOLULU MINISTERIAL UNION. At the meeting held Nov. 7th fifteen were present. Reports from the field brought out some interesting items. Mr. Hopwood spoke of the active interest in C. I'-. Society at Kaniehameha, and the need of a church organization there. Mr. Gulick told of the progress of the Pleasant Island Mission. Mr. Brown and Mr. Turner spoke of their work and the need of more consecration and spiritual Handedness. Mr. Westervelt drew attention to the great encroachments of the liquor business. The main feature of the morning's meeting was the interesting vacation ex- periences related by Dr. Bingham and Mr. Westervelt, who have just returned from a stay in the Cnited States. A welcome was extended Mr. Percy L. Home, who met with us for the first time. At the meeting held on Nov. 21st an interesting feature was reports on new liooks read by the members. Dr. Bishop gave some very thoughtful remarks on a book, "New Light on the Psalms." The report of the program committee was received and Mr. Thwing asked to see to the printing. The paper of the morning, "Graded Bible Schools," was read by Rev. E. B. Turner. A committee was appointed to consider the matter of the Sunday question and report for consideration at the next meeting. 9 REV. JAMES KEKELA. This veteran missionary, and most remarkable I law aiian, passed away at his home in I lonolulu on the 2(>th of November, after but a week's illness, at the ripe age of 8_» years. Born at Mokuleia, in Waialua, of humble parentage, after acquiring the rudiments of education at the very primitive public school of that early time, and being selected as a promising candidate, the plain looking country boy was sent to the mission high school or college of Lahainaluna. Here he acquired what that center of light had to give; some knowledge of life, of the world in which we live, and of the divine revelation made in the Sacred Scriptures. And more than all else, he acquired a firm faith in a personal Savior and Redeemer. After graduation, through the influence of that most progressive missionary. Rev. J. S. Emerson, the body of Christian llawaiians, whose center was at Hauula, Kootau, was organized into a church, and extended a call to Mr. Kckela to become their pastor. About the year 1851, or 1852, Mr. Kekela was ordained and settled as pastor of the I lauula church, the first one of his people to be ordained to the gospel ministry. His pastorate was perhaps of two or three years continuance, or until he was called to the foreign missionary work. In March, 1853, a Marquesian chief named Matunui landed at Lahaina from a whale ship and presented a (ilea that a missionary should be sent to his islands, that the same blessings might come to his country as had been given by the gospel to I lavvaii. Rev. J. D. Paris of Kealakakua, Hawaii, is credited by Mr. Kekela, with the first suggestion that the Hawaiian churches should unite to support a mission to the Marquesas Islands, sending out missionaries from among their own brethren. In this we see the first movement which in later years has been carried on by the Hawaiian Board. A wave of enthusiasm for this missionary work swept over the Hawaiian churches, the effect of which is still felt by the older pastors of these Islands. Rev. James Kekela and Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha, with two laymen, in all four men, with their wives, went forth with great joy, in the autumn of 1853, followed by the prayers and contributions of thousands of their countrymen to face untold dangers and to begin missionary labors, among one of the most murderous of all the cannibal tribes of the human race. Mr. Kekela at the time of his location as pastor of the eastern portion of Father Emerson's mission field, won and married Naomi, one of the earliest and best of the graduates of the Wailuku Girls' Boarding School, founded and �THE FRIEND. 10 conducted by Father and Mother Bailey, and Miss Ogden, of blessed memory. When the call came to this brave couple to face the dangers of life among the Marquesians, the most trying question was, what to do with their little baby girl of two or three years of age. The problem was solved by the offer of Miss Ogden to adopt the precious child of her beloved scholar Naomi. The trust was fully repaid, the child Maria Ogden Kekela, grew up under tne maternal love of one of the most unselfish of missionary women, into an honorable and lovely womanhood, in time becoming the mother of several of the valued women of Southern Hawaii. She sleeps today beside her father and mother in the Kawaiahao graveyard. After a residence of several years upon the valleys of Hivaoa, Marquesas, the islands were visited by pirate vessels seeking to procure slaves to work in South American mines. The natives decoyed on board were seized and carried off into hopeless bondage. A chieftain of the valley lost a beloved son in this way, and vowed vengeance upon the first white man he might meet. The mate of a ship landed with a boat's crew to procure fresh provisons; the enraged chief pounced upon this officer.

Preparations were promptly made to kill, bake and eat, this unfortunate and unoffending man. The Missionary Kekela hearing of .the matter, hastened to the spot. Entreaty, and the evident innocency of the white man were of no avail. The offer by Mr. Kekela of his new whale boat, which was to facilitate missionary touring, proved effectual in procuring the release of the grateful white man. In recognition of this philanthropic life-saving act Abraham Lincoln, then President of the United States, sent to Mr. Kekela a gold watch which he wore and treasured to the last. Of the fruits of the labors of himself and associates, may be mentioned the decrease of wars and of cannibalism which evils were fully stopped upon the advent of French power.

MELAIKSHTON By Mary S. Whitney. The last place, and in many respects the most interesting at which we stopped on our recent trip through southAlaska, on the excursion eastern steamer Spokane, was the beautiful settlement of New Metlakahlla. The sandy town is scattered along a beach for a half mile, the land rising slightly from the water, the highest point occupied by the line church of the mission, which dominates the town like the Cathedrals of Durham or Ely in England. At one side of the settlement rise a series of lofty mountains, down one of which from a great height tumbles a stream of bright cold water from some hidden snow-covered peak, furnishing power for their various industries and the purest of drink from nature's inexhaustible storehouse. At one place the shore drops sufficiently to allow vessels to come to land, where a good wharf is built, upon which are a saw mill, salmon cannery and other industries. It was early in the day, and cold and cloudy when our good ship reached the wharf, upon which stood one white man, elderly with a most attractive face, interested to meet whom might have come to see him from the great world beyond. We knew at once that this was William Duncan, the only white man upon the island, and for perhaps a hundred miles in any direction. The story of William Duncan and the most successful mission in Alaska is more interesting than a romance : but it can only be touched upon here. It was about fifty years ago that a Brit- ish warship, the Virago, was sent to the western coast of llritish America, near the most southern point of Alaska, to punish the Indians for plundering and destroying an American schooner. The commander. Captain Prevost, was a thorough Christian, and as he sailed along the coast up to Fort Simpson and noted the fine physique but degraded and savage faces of the Indians, he was filled with compassion for these natives of the forest, and longed to be abb- to present to them the better life, found only in the gospel of Christ. During the following year. 1856, Capt. Prevost was called to England, and while there he presented to officers of the Church Missionary Society his ardent desire that a missionary should be sent to these distant red men. .After some delay, a young man, William Duncan, from Beonby, Yorkshire, volunteered to take up the difficult and hazardous work. Upon landing at Victoria he met great opposition from the government officials there, who informed Mr. Duncan that he had made a great mistake to think of laboring among the savage cannibals of Fort Simpson, for no one's life could be safe among them, only as he was protected by the high stockade of the fort. But Mr. Duncan would not change his plans, and proceeded to Fort Simpson by the first opportunity and set himself to the task of learning this strange language and reducing it to writing. After some eight months of diligent study he was able to address the Indians in their native tongue, never before spoken by a white man. From the first Mr. Duncan was kindly received by the natives, and his message was heard with eagerness. order should reign and especially where they should be entirely free from the temptation to intemperance, to which they were fearfully addicted. Conferences and much preparation followed, and during the winter of iHtii-j a site was secured for their settlement upon the beautiful island of Mctlakahtla, seventeen miles from Fort Simpson. Fifteen rules for the government of the colony were drawn up by Mr. Duncan, and only those who were willing to subscribe to them were ad- mitted to the company, They pledged to cease gambling, their faces, using intoxicating drinks, and promised to rest upon the Sabbath, to attend religious instruction, to be cleanly, industrious, peaceable, to build neat houses, etc. In the spring of 1862 about fifty who had subscribed to these rules, landed at Mctlakahtla and at once selected sites for their homes and prepared to build.

And really what does he get in our clubs? Of course, there are clubs and clubs. In some of them he gets a little slip-shod, unmilitary drill, (our friends call it fostering the war spirit), a half hour's cheap amusement, and he is turned loose again on the streets.

Although it needs much done for it, in the way of improvements, we have here the entering wedge into the heart of many a boy. There is no better way to reach a boy's heart than 13 them?

But is there any way to make them feel their great need of mental improvement? Could they not be induced to make use of a circulating library, especially adapted to meet the needs of the half-developed boy? Our clubs are weak right here: Head workis almost wholly neglected. We are doing something in the line of manual work. During the week five classes meet a competent instruct-01 for lessons in carpentry and wood turning. But each of these classes <s limited to eight or ten boys. We should like to be reaching more. There should be a night given up to amusements, when all sorts of healthy games should be played. A wellequipped gymnasium would greatly appeal to the boys. A savings bank should be an important factor in each club. Emphasis should be laid upon the value of clean and wholesome athletics. Contests in track, football, baseball, hare and hounds and any other proper games in their seasons, should be encouraged. Any club that falls short in religious instruction fails signally. Most of us can find something better to do than simply amuse boys. They can do that themselves. If we can build up their character and make Christian citizens out of them, our work will not be in vain. If we are to have well-equipped clubs that will meet the highest needs of the boys of Honolulu, we must have both money and consecrated leaders. E. B. T.

The purpose was to see if some good superintendent could be secured for its temperance work not only in Honolulu, but throughout all the islands. The response to the request was nil that could be desired, and a very hearty sympathy and interest were manifest at once. Reporters from several daily papers were telephoned for, and for about an hour the interviewers fired questions and plied pencils noting information concerning the islands and temperance situation therein. Mr. Westervelt was invited to attend the National Convention of the Anti-Saloon League to be held in November, and take part in its program, but it was beyond the time allotted for his stay in the States. He met Rev. Norman A. Palmer, a Methodist minister of good ability and success in Anti-Saloon League work, who had been invited and urged to take the supcrintcndency of the Anti-Saloon League in two other Territories. Mr Palmer is taking the temperance work in Hawaii into very serious consideration, and may be persuaded to make Honolulu his headquarters. He will be a valuable addition to the moral forces here, if he decides to come. THE LAST LEGISLATURE. Election is over and in about two months the legislature will meet to consider new bills, which they will enact into laws or turn back into the waste basket. A splendid local option bill was presented by Senator Dickey in the last legislature and was lost, if memory is correct, by but one vote. This was while the bill was under consideration in the senate. It should also be remembered that a petition went before the senate, asking for the passage of a clause in a liquor license bill, requiring the applicant for a liquor license to secure the written consent of a majority of the property owners on both sides of the street of the block in which his saloon was to be located. A concise local option bill was written out for presentation in the lower house after the longer bill had failed of passage in the senate. This bill provided in simple, terse terms for the right of any voting precinct to decide per cent, of the voters of that precinct, could call for a ballot on this question at any regular election —otherwise affairs would remain in statu quo. This was never presented to the lower house, chiefly because the time allotted for bills was becoming very limited. BILLS PASSED. Two bills, however, were passed by the last legislature and signed by Governor Dole, thus becoming a part of the laws of the Territory. The first related to the sale of malt liquors and provided that no saloon for the sale of of beer could be located within 150 feet or the premises used as a school church. This act did not concern itself with saloons not selling malt liquors. A proviso of this act forbade any minors to be allowed on the premises licensed to sell malt liquors. A second act forbade the furnishing or sale of intoxicants to inebriates or minors. Both of these acts are excellent and have been of use in procuring indictment and conviction of at least one saloon keeper, and thus making others far more careful than they otherwise would have been. There was also a good effect upon issuance of licenses within the prescribed limits. Temperance legislation desired the coining legislature.. from 1. The passage of at least a precinct local option law, which shall, in perfect fairness to all parties concerned, permit the residents of anyvoting precinct to say by ballot whether they desire or not, the sale of intoxicating liquors within the limits of their residence district, which means, of course, the precinct within which they exercise the rights of citizenship. The arguments in favor of local option will be presented in future issues of The Friend. At present the purpose is to call attention to a local option as the fairest and most desirable form of legislation. 2. It would be desirable to have a bill prepared and urged upon the legislature granting the request of almost the entire business community of Honolulu concerning the right of proper- not. As a matter of fact it is absolutely unjust to the fundamental principles of American citizenship to refuse to let the people of either a precinct or a business say by majority vote whether they want saloons or not. 3. It is well known among those who have studied the difference between "Federal" and "Territorial" licenses, that the wholesale dealers are compelled to show to the Federal officers, the firms to whom they sell intoxicants. It is not at all difficult for these officers to collect the Federal fees required of all those who handle intoxicants. It seems as if some bill could be prepared for the use of the Territorial officials, making impossible the vast amount of secret sale of intoxicating liquors which has been for a long time a heavy burden upon these islands. 4. Even the State of New York has a law (which is also enforced) forbidding the use of liquors in Armories, i. c., in the buildings occupied by State troops. It is widely recognized disgrace to Hawaii that beer by kegs and kegs, is used in our armory; and the building, known as the Bungalow, in the government grounds, is used almost like a saloon. It would be to the credit of Hawaii if the use of liquors was entirely forbidden in these government buildings. Other suggestions will be made as the time of the legislative session draws near, next February: but these four enactments should receive discussion at once as of great importance, and of these, "local option" is by far the most essential.

CHRISTMAHAWAII Christmas is the one season of the year when care and prejudice are laid aside and all the Christian world unite in laying its tribute of love at the feet of the Babe born at Bethlehem in a manger. In most countries living under the cross, there are legends of some patron saint in whose name deeds of mercy are performed and gifts are given at this time. The Germans believe that the little Christ child walks the street Christmas eve disguised as a poor little beggar, and while the children enjoy their festivities, they are on the lookout for some poor child with whom they may share their joys, hoping it may fall to their lot to really entertain the Christ child. The children of France believe that Jean Noel is heard singing in the mountains about Christinas time, and generally conies to some poor cottage, sometimes in the form of an old man, sometimes as a little child. If the people are kind and receive him well, they do not regret it, for he brings happiness and love with him. Many people take this opportunity of bestowing gifts and comforts on the unfortunate, mysteriously, in his name. Beggars are never refused at this season, the sick and old and friendless as well as the children are remembered, and even the animals are given a double portion for dinner, for is it not the day of all days in the year when every one should have cause to rejoice? In England and America we have Santa Clans which is a corruption of St. Nicholas, the natron saint of children. He is supposed to have lived in Asia, but little is known about his life except that from his earliest childhood he was noted for his extreme piety. Many mysterious deeds of charity were traced to him, and out of this fact grew the custom of children hanging up their stockings on Christmas eve and finding them filled with goodies in the morning. Eugene Field, in his Little Book of Profitable Tales, beautifully represents Santa Claus as the Child born of Faith and Love, in whom his parents are immortalized. And though he is very old, his heart is young and merry and he spends his whole life in working for the children. On Christmas eve he visits every home where the cross is known. To carry out his plans, he has secured the services of all the 15 Santa Clans should visit you? Then do you remember how you relived many times, in fact, are still reliving your experiences? Even now, though you may be very old or very happy, your face will brighten as you read this, and you will heave a sigh that you are not a child just for one day in the year. How delicious the sensation of really believing in Santa Clans—or rather, being in that delightful state when you know there is no little old man who comes down your chimney, but you fool yourself into believing that it is really true and you try so hard to keep awake to see him. I tut the sand man comes and off you go, only to wake at the first cock-crow when it is still dark—oh so dark! I hit you are not afraid, for is this not the greatest day of all the year? There is a tight feeliqg all around your heart. You are out of bed at a bound and creep softly down stairs, hoping against hope that you may catch dear old St. Nick in the very act of filling your stocking and find out that the story is really true after all. You triad on air, your breath comes in little gasps as you peer through the banisters, lint it is so dark you can see nothing. You reach the foot of the stairs, you creep softly through the hall door. You know just where your stocking is hung ami you make for it. Suddenly you knockover something and down you come with a crash. It is only a minute, and both forces of the spiritual and physical world. The fairies, the gnomes and the dwarfs bring him the treasures from the deep sea and from the bowels of the earth ; the pearls, the gold and metals from which he fashions most wonderful toys. The silkworm gives its silk, the bird gives its feathers, the horse its hair, the cow its horns, the tree its wood, the sheep its wool, and all to make the little ones happy. In fact, the whole Christian world is in league with Santa Clans and conspire to give not only children, but every one, a happy time in the name of him who said: "In as much as you do it unto 'One of the least of these,' you do it unto me." In spite of unbelievers, Santa Clans is one of the greatest forces for spiritual development in the world. Can you doubt this as you watch the merry, good-natured crowd of shoppers at Christmas time? Look into the eyes of the crabbed old business man hurrying home with a tell-tale parcel under his arm; look into the face of the over- father and mother and brothers and worked mother who steals a few minutes from her duties to sew secretly on a little gown and tell me what you see there. Watch the joy with which parents plol and plan bow them may save a little from their small income and deny themselves some real necessity to give a surmise to the little ones, and tell me there is nfl Santa Clans! With what faith the little child hangs up his stocking on Christmas eve! F.vei little Grctchen —in the old German story, though assured by her grandmother that Kris Kringle never visited such poor homes as hers, had such faith in his goodness, that she slipped out of bed when her grandmother slept and put her little wooden shoe up in the chimney.

News has been received of the death of Mr. E. M. Fowler, husband of our Margaret Brewer Fowler, also of the marriage of our cousin, Elizabeth Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii. Miss Martha Chamberlain has so far recovered as to be removed to her home. During her protracted convalescence is a good time for the Cousins to pay off a debt of love that has been accumulating and doubling up interest for years. To the children of the original cousins she is ever Aunt Mattie, and blessed is she who can count loving nephews and nieces by the score. One of our fighting cousins, Rev. Samuel L. Conde, veteran of the Civil war, of whom General Armstrong, when he was here in 1891, said: "I do not know where Sam Conde is now, but I know that wherever he is, he is standing to his guns," has written to us recently from his semi-retirement in E. Cleveland, Ohio. His letter was mainly on the subject of the proposed Missionary Record, which he heartily approves, and for which he sends family data, and promises sketches of his father and mother. In continuation he says: "My daughter Bertha, International College Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., is at present in England on an evangelistic visit to young women's colleges and seminaries in England and Scotland. She was invited there last year but could not leave at that time. She will visit France and Holland in her work before returning. She returned from her fourth trip to the Pacific coast last spring. I would not be surprised if some day when on the coast she would extend her journey to Honolulu. She has been urged very strongly to visit Japan, and may do so ere long. Her success in evangelistic work among women, especially the educated class, seems to be very great, for all of which lam very thankful. I have no son to follow me in the ministry, and it is a pleasure to know that at least one of my daughters is so blessed in the Lord's work among her own sex. My youngest daughter, Edith, is a senior in the College for Women at Western Reserve University in this city. She will probably follow her sister in a similar work, or as a Bible reader for which she has peculiar talent." Guided by the address of Arthur D. Baldwin as given in our last Annual Report, Mr. Conde called on the young lawyer, and expresses much pleasure in making the acquaintance of a son of his early friend.
