Mark this! no one expects a "touchdown" right after the "kick-off." Did we say "the only thing said against" the local option bill? The most potent, effectual thing said (in effect) was, "we don't want it." Who said it,—or better,—in whose interests was it said? Watch the attitude of the liquor man on this issue. He may not come right out on the open, but you note the people who oppose and then inquire closely as to who is back of the opposition. We venture this a sure thing in the prophetic field "The Liquor Man Does Not Want Local Option." This is one of our best reasons for wanting it. Another matter for discussion, Governor Carter, in view of the coming legislature. It is juvenile delinquency. The Reformatory School is about full, and what to do with boy offenders is a question big with portent. Fortunately the Reformatory School is in excellent hands and many of the boys are really much better off there, than at home. But is it the only thing to do, with a boy who has life enough to be mischievous, to send him to the Reformatory? Colorado says "No." Her famous Judge Lindsay gives reasons and proofs no one can gainsay. Other states have long since decided on the Probationary idea. It works wherever tried and why not here? It is safe to say that fully half the boys now committed might be kept out of the Reformatory at a saving to the Territory and again in self-respect and manhood on the part of those who thus escaped commitment. It is becoming too easy for parents to avoid responsibilities of caring for boys by having them committed. (This requires separate treatment, but is a significant element in Hawaii's problem).

What looms up as in the near future of the Mongoloid Empires? What changes and evolutions does this mighty conflict portend? What new developments are incubating? What strange growths may be struggling for birth? This first decade of the new century already signalized by one of the fiercest of wars, promises to be fruitful of vast political change and growth to our Pacific neighbors. this deadly grapple of two great ions, the world looks on in wonder, le striving to be calm and keep mu-1 peace without mutual interference I conflict, which may God forefend. c great empire has been remorselessushing forward to subdue and over- in Such events drive keenly upon the atrule the Orient. Its lesser but nimbler opponent has risen in ordered swiftness tention of obtuse China the nature of and unexpected might, and for a year that vast and fundamental revolution has pressed back its huge enemy with which has been wrought in the mental tremendous and unabating force. The struggle ever waxes fiercer, more resolute, more desperate. .What is to be the outcome? To us in Hawaii, the interest deepens. Only nine days steaming separates us from the scene of activity, from the strain and tension of Japan. Most profoundly concerned is this Pacific hemisphere, in which Hawaii holds a central part. The future of the Pacific is most deeply affected by the inevitable results of the war, whatever they may be. It seems impossible that either Japan or China, or the countries adjacent should remain unchanged, whatever the outcome. Evidently this twentieth Century has opened big with great events, revolutionizing the giant masses of Asia, and changing the near future especially of that vast body of sluggish yet powerful civilization, the four hundred millions of Chinese people. For it is manifestly the future and fate of China, over which these combatants are now wrestling, whatever their fully purposed intentions may be. The event of this war is to be more decisive as to the condition of China, than of that of either of the empires at war. It is that vast, inert, slumbering, but most capable mass of mankind whose future is mainly concerned in the fierce wrestle and grapple now in progress in their own territory. Our vision is incapable of so peering into the near future, as to clearly discern either the latent possibilities or the probable results of this war, whichever way the final victory turns. But we are fully assured that all events are in the hands of the Supreme Ruler, who directs all things after the counsel of His will; and He has revealed His purpose to subline this earth into subjection to the beneficient Kingdom of His Son. And how may this war lead towards that great End? One effect upon China we may easily conjecture. That is a powerful arousing and quickening of thought among that crowded mass of people as to their position among mankind. It would seem that their torpid thought must awake to their necessity for participating like the agile Japanese in the light and thinking of the modern world. How cap their great central provinces fail to awake, when such a tremendous tramp and crash of war thunders on through the year in their northern province of Manchuria? All China must rouse itself to ask what means this fearful turmoil, and how is it created? and material condition of Japan by taking in the progressive and civilizing forces of Christendom. They must stir up the Chinese to appropriate and participate in those vast forces of science and art. To the world's wonder, Japan's ordered and determined effort to possess those forces to the utmost has lifted that smaller empire into the status of a formidable world-power, possessed of marvelous capacity, equipment, and prevision, so as to wage a war of the most resolute and steady advance, the fiercest vigor of attack, the most ordered and thorough application of force. The Chinese are a race of exceptional practical and business capacity, and they are most capable of imitating whatever is seen to be desirable. Despite their obstinate conservatism, their repugnance to change, the fearful thunders of this war must forbid their longer stopping cars and eyes to their absolute necessity for falling into the ranks of modern progress and advancing into the light like Japan. Apparently the hour for China's awakening has arrived. A day of general enlightenment of that people would seem to be close at hand. Of c jurie such a vast revolution will be attended with great commotions and local resistances. Rut the change is inevitable. If this be so, now is the time of opportunity for Christian teachers and Christian schools to win their way to acceptance among the awakening masses of that nation. All foreign teaching must become in the utmost demand throughout the vast empire. A day seems cio»e at hand for the highest opportunity for consecrated Christian effort to pour powerful Gospel light over those teeming millions. WONDERFUL TUNNELING HAWAII. IN This tunneling has been done within the last two years for the purpose of conveying water for irrigating sugar cane. It is a new system of ditching, or rather in place of ditching, in order to reach otherwise inaccessible streams of great volume. Nothing perhaps more notably illustrates the able and determined enterprise of our sugar planters than this recent and successful attack upon what seemed to be impregnable mountain fastnesses, whereby their treasures of water have been drained away and distributed over broad and rich but arid plains. �6 THE FRIEND There are probably scarcely any other The first and perhaps most remarkable of the three great tunnel systems similar water systems available in these accomplished, is known as the "Koolau islands, unless perhaps that of the Koditch" on East Maui* which more than hala mountain be ol like nature.

The truth is, and it should be genfor mill and railway uses. . erally understood, that the Hawaiian Islands do not possess a Tropical climate although south of the Tropic of Cancer. It may perhaps be called sub-tropical, although that term more properly applies to latitudes like Florida well above the Tropic, where a mild winter comes, as it does not in Hawaii. We lack the regenerating and recuperating influence of winter cold, but at the same time we know nothing whatever of torrid heat such as prevails in Havana, Manila or Calcutta throughout the greater part of the year, although in nearly the same latitude. Our climate is wholly different. The reason of that difference, which ought to be more generally recognized, is simply that we occupy a cold region of ocean water, which is the only similar section of ocean on the globe within the Tropics. The ocean surface waters on the windward or eastern side of these Islands stand at very uniform temperatures ranging from near 500 in late winter to over 70 0 in late summer. And on all small islands like ours, the temperature of the surrounding ocean necessarily determines the temperature of the air. Throughout Micronesia, lying from 2,000 to 4,000 miles west of Hawaii in the warm Equatorial current, the temperature ranges from a minimum of Bo° to a maximum of ioo°. By a unique condition, existing nowhere else in the Tropics, Hawaii gets her ocean water directly transmitted from that vast body of nearly ice-cold water which occupies the western coast of North America from Sitka to Los Angeles, and is known as the Pacific Coast Cold Current. That current tempers in a marvellous manner the otherwise extreme climates of that whole coast from Puget Sound to Southern Calir fornia, which would otherwise be scorching hot in summer and biting cold in winter. Yet in San Francisco, overcoats are needed every summer afternoon, and fires in the evening. One half of the great states of Washintgon and Oregon are redeemed by this current from the semi-desolation of those portions east of the Cascade Range, and are rendered the sweetest and fairest portions of the globe for the abode of highly-civilized man. By the same law of the earth's rotation which directs the course of the Trade winds, the overflow of that great cold current is driven south-westward to the ocean-region of Hawaii. That fact is verified by the frequent arrival here of huge trees and saw-logs from the Columbia River, which land on our eastern shores. During the slow progress hither of this great current, it accumulates much heat from the sun, but still retains a very moderate temperature, even in late summer. Thus Hawaii was anciently annexed, �THE FRIEND. climatically, to America, even as it has been recently annexed politically. It would seem as if a kind Providence had designedly prepared on the Pacific Coast a glorious home for the development of a great civilized empire, whose climate is so wonderfully tempered by that Cold Current. And still more out here in this imperial ocean, is created by the same means a fitting outpost for the same civilization, confronting the more ancient civilization of the Orient. May the great destiny of Hawaii thus indicated be worthily fulfilled in a high Christian culture with righteousness, social purity S. E. B. and public integrity. THE METLAKAHTLA MISSION, ALASKA. was based. In 1870, Mr. Duncan spent a few months in England, where he By Mary S. Whitney. (Concluded) Each evening after the labors of the day, they gathered on the shore, like a large happy family, while Mr. Duncan gave them a short scripture address, and all joined in prayer and singing. This company was soon increased to four or five hundred by others coming from Fort Simpson, and after ten months Mr. Duncan was able to report that there had not been a case of drunkenness in the colony, and only two had proved unworthy and been banished from the place. Evening family devotions were held in nearly every home, on Sabbath days labor was laid aside and hardly a soul staid away from divine service. Recognizing the fact that no individual nor com munity can be self-respecting and pros" perous who depends upon help for daily existence, Mr. Duncan at once introduced trades and industries by which his people should become selfsupporting. Being himself of a remarkably practical turn of mind, he was able to give intelligent direction to their work. He taught them improved methods of fishing, to make better boats and build better houses; to manufacture lumber and can fish; to read and write and sing, not neglecting all the while to teach the religious truths upon which all hope of improvement learned the arts of weaving, rope making, twine spinning and brush making, also the scale upon twenty-one musical instruments, which were donated to the settlement, by means of which a brass band was added to the attractions of Metlakahtla. Thus for twenty-five years, under the guidance of Mr. Duncan this lone mission station was prosperous, happy and contented. When in the height of its vigor and prosperity its progress was interrupted from an unexpected source. Though practically an independent mission, it had remained under the supervision of the English Church Missionary Society, and had received encouragement and some financial aid from this organization. Early in the eighties the secretary, Henry Venn, who had heartily approved Mr. Duncan's methods, died, and a Missionary Bishop was appointed to have the oversight of all the mission stations in British Columbia, including Metlakahtla. This bishop undertook to interfere with their simple forms of worship, insisted upon ritualistic observances and the introduction of real wine into the communion service. Mr. Duncan felt that the elaborate ritual of the Church of England was entirely unsuited to the simple habits of his people, and that their spiritual life would be weakened by its use. The introduction of spirituous liquor in any form had been absolutely prohibited in the colony from the first. 7 and he was sure that its use, even in their religious observances, would endanger their whole moral character. As the bishop insisted that the changes should be made, Mr. Duncan felt obliged to withdraw from the Church Missionary Society and organize an Independent Native church; but the Missionary Society claimed the ownership of the two most central acres of the village, upon which the mission buildings stood, and the Canadian Government supported this claim, only allowing the people to remain upon their lands "by the charity and bounty of the Queen." Mr. Duncan narrated the circumstances to an interested crowd of passengers from our steamer, including Rev. Dr. Hillis of Brooklyn, whose predecessor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, had shown great sympathy for this Indian community in their time of trial. Said Mr. Duncan: "The people were amazed at this stand taken by the 'We Church, and the Government. don't ask the charity of the Queen,' they said. 'This is our land, and it was our fathers' before us, our homes are here, and here we have lived.' "I saw," he continued, "that the only thing to do was to again move my people to new homes. Some of them were for fight, and I knew there were plenty of the heathen Indians about who would be only too willing to join with them in a war upon the whites, and no white man's life in this part of Alaska would be safe." Mr. Duncan told how he held conferences with the leading -men of the place, and after careful consideration, they decided to leave their comfortable homes and gardens, their beautiful church, which it had taken them two years to build, their school houses and stores, and shops and mills, and seek a new home upon American soil in near-by Alaska. A band of Metlakahtlans at once set out in their canoes to explore the coast. �8 THE FRIEND and after proceeding about ioo miles northward they found a beautiful bay upon the uninhabited t shores of Annette Island in Alaska, and at once decided that this should be their future home, where under the stars and stripes, they should not be molested in their worship of God. Upon their return, Mr. Duncan proceeded at once to Washington to secure permission from the U. S. Government to settle upon the land. The case was carefully considered by President Cleveland and other officials, and enlisted the interest of many leading clergymen and others. In the end satisfactory arrangements were made and in the summer of 1887 a number of the people proceeded to Annette Island to fell trees and prepare for the colony which was to follow. In the fall about a thousand men, leaving their comfortable homes tenantless, landed upon the island and encamped in tents and temporary huts till spring. Finding then that none of the people were disheartened and wished to return, Mr. Duncan drew up a beautiful design for the streets and homes and other buildings of a new village, which he intended should be a model city in all respects. The highest land was reserved for a church, a school house and gymnasium, a large guest house, hospital, stores, shops, etc. Lots were laid out 80 by 90 feet and assigned to families; streets were also plannedand then miles of well constructed board sidewalks, eight feet wide. Of the town the former Governor of Alaska says:"A neater, more orderly, or better contented Christian community cannot be found in any State or Territory of the Union." They named the place New Metlakahtla. This was sixteen years ago. The people received nothing for the lands and houses they abandoned, and they are now not connected with Yet any missionary organization. they have by their own industry been able to build a beautiful church, entirely by their own labor, seating 800, well furnished and supplied with a pipe organ. It cost $10,286. A school house cost $4,500. A doctor's residence and home for girls cost $4,000; a guest house cost $3,000. A system of waterworks cost $10,000; a saw mill and machinery, $6,000, and a cannery, with equipment, including two small steamers, $31,000. Add to this their homes, many of which cost $1,000 each, and we may have some idea of the thrift and industry of this company of Indians, who fifty years ago were living in the lowest degradation of vice and only white person at the settlement. He has never married. He is still the pastor of the church, serving without a salary. He preaches twice every Sunday, conducts the Sunday school and the mid-week prayer meeting. He is the manager of the large cannery, which in 1902, produced 16,767 cases of canned fish, and of the saw mill, which produced 190,000 feet of lumber. He is also the father and friend and spiritual advisor of every man, woman and child in the colony. Mr. Duncan would be the last man in the world to dlow any one to think that by his wisdom or perseverance all this has been accomplished. It has come about through the humanizing, uplifting influence of the Spirit of God, brought to this untaught, savage people by a man full of love and consecration to God's work, and it is one of the most signal modern miracles of the gospel. About a year ago the publishers of the Ram's Horn sent Mr. Geo. T. B. Davis to Metlakahtla to write up the history of the mission, and I am indebted to his book, recently published, for much of the information here given. THE JAPANESE WORK AT HILO. By Rev. V. Yajima. The Japanese Christian Church in Hilo was established Jan. 11, 1891, by Rev. J. Okabe, the first Japanese pastor of the Church, but we do not know the details about the matter, owing to lack of records. All the members who were enrolled in the church from the beginning to Aug. 1, 1901, the time when I came here, were 337. But most of them "returned to their mother country, a few went to the coast, a few died here, and a few were ex-communicated. There were only 23 members, including two children, when I arrived here. During about three years—from Aug. 1, 1901, to the present day—34 people were baptized, and 15 were received by letter. Twenty-seven of this number went away or died during that time. The present number of members is 45. Sixteen of them belong to Olaa station, and the other 29, including 3 children, are stopping in the town and vicinity. The meeting house at Olaa station is in the camp of the Olaa Mill. The house was given to us by Mr. McStocker, the former manager of Olaa, in May of last year. From that time I have gone and still continue t» go there on the last Sunday of each month to preach. On the other Sundays all the believers there have a meeting among themselves. savagery. The last time I saw Mr. John Watt, the Mr. Duncan, at the age of "]2, is the new manager, I asked him to give us a - meeting house at Nine Miles in Olaa, because that place is the best. He said: "Mr. Hill spoke to me about that, and I am thinking about it. I believe that I can give you the house, which is now being used as a harness shop in two or three weeks." Now we are praying and expecting to get the house. Our church services are conducted on every Sunday afternoon from i 130 to 2:15. After which the Sunday-school service is held. The reason we are holding the meetings on Sunday afternoon is, that most of the members are working as cooks or garden boys, and it is more convenient for them to come to the church at that time. Every Sunday morning I visit the Japanese prisoners in the jail. In the evening we practice singing Japanese hymns for half an hour, with the teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Boscow, and the other half hour we devote to the study of the Japanese Bible. The attendance at our prayer meetings Wednesday evenings averages about ten. The teachers of the Sunday-school are Miss Severance, Miss Deyo, Mr. and Mrs. Boscow, for the young people, and Miss Porter for the children. The children are very few. I am publishing "The Mauna Kea," a monthly Japanese Christian newspaper, which was started in March of this year, This is devoted to all the Japanese Christian churches in Hawaii. Mr. Inouye and Mr. Sokabe are contributing articles to it. There arc 500 copies published every month. The Christian Endeavor Society was organized on the 10th of July and the members of the society number 35. The parsonage was erected by the Hawaiian Board, in December of last year, for the sum of $500. In July of this year, we painted the church, chairs and fence. The cost ($66) was raised among the believers. There are two night schools, one is in the Hawaiian church, near to the Waiakea Mill. The teacher is Mrs. W. H. Beers, who has been very ill and is resting now. We hope that she will regain her health very soon so as to be able to continue teaching. The other is in the church in Hilo. The teachers are Mr. and Mrs. Boscow. At present the pupils number 12. We visit the Japanese at Waiakea camps every Sunday afternoon after the close of the Sunday-school. HILO MINISTERS' MEETING. The monthly gathering of the Hilo pastors was held as usual at Mr. Shield's house, on Monday morning, November 14th. Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Union Church of Hilo, as well as the Honomu church were represented. �9 THE FRIEND. After prayer and the discussion of local items of interest, the paper of the morning was read by Rev. Yajima, who has been making a study of the religious conditions in Japan at the present time. His paper is given in part as follows: The ivork of the Christians in Japan during the war. "The Russo-Japanese war 'began on the Bth of February of this year. What are the Japanese Christians doing during this war? I will try to tell you about that briefly. (i) The Evangelical Alliance of Japan, which includes all Protestant churches in the country, requested the churches to ask God's blessings on the Japanese army a few days after the war began. (2) The Alliance decided to send Christian chaplains to the field on tfie 27th of February, and not a few have gone with the army. (3) The Bible and Christian pamphlets have been distributed among the soldiers. (4) A Missionary report says: "There has been much visiting among the homes from which niemlicrs have gone to the front." (5) "The Hospitals in which both Japanese and Russians are treated, are constantly provided with the evidence of Christ, in sympathy and care, in the way of literature and all needed assistance not provided by the government." (6) Many different topics were delivered by the Christian workers in the cities and towns. A few of them are put down here: The origin of the Russo-Japanese war and the nation's attitude ?t the time of the war. The Mission of the Empire. Thoughts on reading the proclamation of war. Japan assisted by Heaven. A Christian's view of war. The present opportunity and Christianity. War and Christians. Thoughts on the punishment of Russia. The Christian at the time of the war. The new life of the Empire. The arms of a Christian. What is the blessing of Heaven ? The yellow peril and Christianity. Our mission at the time of the war. Our war. The spirit of the time and Mission work. The war of love. A war after the war. Attentions at the time of the war. The victory and Christianity. The spiritual transformation of the Oriental people. Loyalty with Christianity. - Not against war. Christianity and the development of a nation's destiny. The problems of the day and religion. A righteous oriental war and the preparation of Japan's young men. / Loyalty and filial piety. The question of the yellow peril is dying of itself. The greatest conqueror of the world. Christianity and the morality of Japan. (7) The W. C. T. U. are visiting many of the homes of the soldiers who have gone to the war, and trying to give some help, that they want. (b) They are gathering many comfort bags from all parts of the country, and sending to the soldiers. In it are some of stockings, threads, needles, buttons, scissors, handkerchief, towels, medicines, postal cards, envelopes, stamps, tooth powders, tooth brushes, soaps, knives, candy, etc. Temperance (8) The Japanese League is advising to stop to drink sake at this special time, and to give to the government the money. The Y. M. C. A. have taken a to accommodate about 200, to the field. Tables and chairs have been prepared, many tracts, newspapers, games and an organ. Here often letters are written home for the wounded sol(9) tent, able diers. MISSIONARIES TO HAWAII. The question is sometimes asked, What missionaries, appointed by the American Board, to labor in the Hawaiian Islands, are still living and residing in the islands? Blackmail in his excellent book "The Making of Hawaii," gives the tabulated list of missionaries appointed and dates of appointment. This list shows that ten missionaries are now resident in these islands. They are as follows: Mother Parker, coming in 1833. Mother Rice, coming in 1841. Mother Castle, coming in 1843. Rev. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick, coming in 1862. Rev. and Mrs. S. E. Bishop, coming in 1862. Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander, coming in 1865. Rev. W. D. Wcstervelt, coming in 1889. Rev. and Mrs. John Leadingham, appointed in 1894, and Mrs. Hyde, appointed in 1877, are now residing in the States. This would make thirteen living missionaries representing the work of the American Board in these islands. To this list it seems as if Rev. and Mrs. O. P. Emerson of Maui should be added, for Mr. Emerson came by a joint arrangement of the American Board and the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. WANTED. Games, Magazines and Papers for the Boys' Clubs. All sorts of games such as dominoes, crokinole, checkers, back-gammon, bagatelle, hoops, ninepins, etc.; in fact any game that will interest and hold the boys of the street. The Magazines and Papers should be especially full of pictures. Such things can be left at the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms. AN ACT REGULATING THE TRIAL AND PROBATION OF JUVENILE DELINQUENTS. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii: Section I. It shall be the each Circuit Judge and District Magistrate in the Territory to appoint not less than three Probation Officers in the tircuit or district over which he has jursidiction, who shall serve without pay and act only when juvenile delinquents are put under their charge as provided by Section 2 of this act. Section 2. All District Circuit Judges and Magistrates in the Territory are hereby empowered to release on parole any juvenile delinquents under the age of sixteen years who may be convicted of any crime of misdemeanor before them the punishment for which is not greater than imprisonment for ten years, and cause them to be placed on probation under the supervision of probation officers. The sentences under such convictions shall be suspended pending such probation. Such juvenile offenders shall be ordered to report to the probation officers at such stated times as the judge or magistrate may prescribe bringing with them a report from their teachers, employers, or other persons selected by such probation officer, showing what their behavior has been. The probation officer shall report to the judge or magistrate at such times as said judge or magistrate may prescribe and in case of failure to report any such probation officer may be discharged by such judge or magistrate and the delinquent put in charge of another. The judge or magistrate may prescribe any course under such probation as may seem to him for the best interest of the juvenile delinquent and the good of the public. He may call the juvenile delinquent before him at any time during the probation �THE FRIEND. 10 and bring the same to a close if he thinks best. Section 3. In case ofbreach of patole or persistent misbeliavio'r of any juvenile offender under the care of a probation officer it shall be the duty of such officer to return the juvenile delinquent to the judge or magistrate before whom he was convicted, and such judge or magistrate may order the original sentence to be caried out or the probation to be continued as may seem best in his discretion. Section 4. After the passage of this act it shall be the duty of all district magistrates to try all persons under sixteen at a time apart from the time of trial of older persons and may exclude the general public from such trials if they so desire. Section 5. This act shall become a law from and after its approval. ITempranc ssues EDITED BY REV. W. D. WESTERVELT. I LOCAL OPTION LAW.

Section 3. If the majority of the votes cast at such election shall be in favor of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, then from and after the date of such election except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful for any person, personally or by agent to sell, furnish or give away any intoxicating liquors to be used as a beverage within the limits of the precinct or precincts covered by such election, and whoever thereafter in any manner, directly or indirectly sells, furnishes, or gives away or in any manner deals in any intoxicating liquors as a beverage or keeps or uses a place, structure or vehicle, either permanent or transient, for such selling, furnishing or giving away, or in which or from which intoxicating liquors are sold, given away or furnished or otherwise dealt in as aforesaid shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than Five Hundred Dollars, nor less than Fifty Dollars, or by imprisonment at hard labor for not more than sixty days or both. Section 4. Nothing in this act shall in any manner affect the right of any legal manufacturer of intoxicating liquors to sell and furnish his product in wholesale quantities to parties residing or doing business outside the limits of the precinct or precincts where the sale, furnishing or giving away or dealing in intoxicating is prohibited. This act shall not affect the right of any person who holds a license to sell intoxicating liquors in the precinct or precincts in which the sale has been prohibited urder this act, but he may continue such sale until the expiration of such license. It shall be unlawful for the Treasurer to issue any license to sell intoxicating liquors in any precinct after the petition mentioned in section 1 of this act has been made and presented to him and before the holding of such election and any such license is unlawful and of no effect. The phrase "intoxicating liquors" as used in this act shall be construed to mean any distilled, malt, vinous or other intoxicating liquors, but nothing in this act shall be construed to prevent the selling of intoxicating liquors at retail by a regular druggist for exclusively known medicinal, pharmaceutical, scientific, mechanical or sacramental purposes ; and when sold for medicinal purposes it shall be sold only in good faith upon written prescription issued, signed and dated in good faith by a reputable physician in active practice and used but once. The words "Giving away" where they occut in this act shall not apply to the giving away of intoxicating liquors by a person in his private dwelling to his immediate family and friends, provided such dwelling is not a place of public resort. Section 5. At any time after the expiration of two years from the date of any election held under the provisions of this act another election may be petitioned for under the same in the same precinct or precincts and shall be ordered as provided for in section 1, and the Governor shall not entertain any petition from any precinct in which an election has been held within two years under this act. Section 6. Any person being a qualified voter of any election precinct wherein an election shall have been held as provided in this act may contest the validity of such election before the Supreme Court within thirty days after such election. He shall furnish the court with sufficient security for all costs in the case and on failure to establish his case shall pay all costs. The decision of the Supreme Court or a majority thereof shall be final. Section 7. This law shall take effect from and after its passage. The foregoing is Senator Dickey's bill. He says of it that one might hardly call it a local option bill. There is "option" only to a degree. It amounts to prohition on the one side or the leaving of things as they are. That is, if a precinct votes for liquor, they have the Governor and the Treasurer to deal with in the matter of licenses. The advantage of the bill is clear enough, viz.: that there is a chance for any community to tabu the saloon and then hold the police responsible for permitting illegal selling. What we like about it is that it gives us a foothold for honest work against the arch-enemy. T. R. FOR SOBER REFLECTION. Who wants a drunkard for a husband, a wife, a brother, a sister, a business partner, an employe, a companion or a friend? Then why should any one want the drunken factory to be kept running? Every asylum is an argument against the grog shop, for more than half the inmates are there because of rum. Every poor house is a protest against liquor selling, for three-quarters of the paupers are the victims of the saloon. Every jail is an indictment of license, for four-fifths of the criminals are the finished products of the rum traffic. �12 THE FRIEND Three out of every four of all the dollars paid in taxes by the voter cry out against his depositing a vote to keep open the rumshop, because if this vile institution were once abolished, those three dollars need not be paid; for threequarters of all taxes are simply the contribution which the people are compelled to make to defray the running expenses of the saloon. And yet we call ourselves a free people! But some people tell us that there will be as much liquor sold under no license as under license. Then why is it that all rum-dom is up in arms against prohibition and pours out money by millions and fights tooth and nail to put it down ? The Duke of Wellington used to say that it was good generalship to do the thing that the enemy does not want to have done. As the liquor men make it plain enough that they do not want "nolicense," it will be perfectly safe for temperance people to vote for it. The fact is there is no more need of proving that "no-license" is a blessing than there is of proving that the sun shines. It is self-evident. The liquor traffic is not only vile, but atrociously wicked. It thrives only by the destruction of the virtue, the happiness, the lives, and souls of men. Both the Old Testament and the New are against it. It is the abrogation of Christianity. It is Satan's masterpiece. The upright citizen could scarcely enjoy a greater privilege than the opportunity of giving it a blow by casting his ballot against it."—The Search Light. WIDE WORLD NOTES. A CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN GUAM. The missionaries of the American Board have been doing good work in Guam, and as a result Rev. F. M. Price has organized a Congregational church, with 31 members. Thirty other applicants for membership were organized into a Christian Endeavor Society as probationers. Schools have been opened, and young men from these schools go on evangelizing tours through the villages on the island, whose area is about 300 square miles. The missionary work in Guam includes day and boarding schools for boys and girls, equipped for practical training in industrial arts. The present population of Guam is about 10,000. The people are sturdier but less spirited than their Filipino kinsmen, and their island may yet become a center of light for the Pacific.—The Missionary Review. GOSPEL COOKING SCHOOL. Here is a bit of missionary life from Tsuchiura, Japan: "Imagine me," says the missionary, "sitting on the floor, with a little table three feet square and a foot high, and a little charcoal fire with an oven on it, on one side. I was giving a cooking lesson to six Japanese ladies." The lesson was on stuffing and baking mackerel and on making sponge cake. After the lesson in cooking came a Bible lesson. What was the missionary's reward. Three of the women of the cooking class have already become Christians!—American Messenger. A GENEROUS CHINAMAN. Captain Graham, of Roswell, N. M., sends the following interesting item: "We were having a special soldiers' meeting last Monday night, to see what the soldiers would promise towards the purchase of a lot for a building. We spied a friendly Chinaman looking through a hole in the tent. One of the soldiers went to him, and he said, 'Puttee me down for $10.' "—War Cry. WOMEN IN MISSIONS. The Bishop of Worcester has struck a true note in asserting the great importance of women's work in the mission field. After commenting upon the striking change in public opinion in regard to this development, he said at a recent meeting: "It is now generally perceived that there can be nothing of more transcendent importance than the development of women's work. The whole possibility of the Christian religion taking hold of such a country as India depends on getting at the hearts of the women, and that depends upon women workers. The progress of religion depends on what is going on in the hearts and minds of the women, and nowhere more so than in India; and the advance of Christianity there will be very slow until a rear attack is made upon that in which the whole social system of the country is imbedded—the zenana."

THE COST OF WAR. 13 of the older boys and girls have been interested in getting something for theirs also. Perhaps the meaning of the Great Christmas Gift and the spirit of generosity has grown a little in the hearts of a few. Friday, Dec. 16 was a joyous day. In the forenoon sixty parents and friends came to see the kindergarten children in their morning circle, and to receive their gifts hanging on the prettily decorated tree. Each child trudged home with a big orange and a cornucopia of candy. In the evening two hundred and forty people crowded the reading and club room to see the tableaux presented by the children. They were then taken to the kindergarten and seated in three rows about the tree. Candy was given to every one, and popcorn and oranges to those who had been most regular in attendance during the fall. Three new books and two toys were the presents for the Alexander House, Christmas exercises were held at the Chinese church Thursday evening, Dec. 14, and the Chinese boys and girls were made happy by the annual visit of Santa Clans. A good time is planned for the Chirese boys and girls of Paia next week.

The Sunday School of the Fort St. Chinese church, gave a most interesting and successful Christmas entertainment on the evening of Dec. 22nd. The church was packed full of Chinese. All seemed greatly to enjoy the singing, the recitations and arrival of Santa Claus. One feature of the entertainment was a representation of the "Three Wise Men" who came in leading a camel.
