of small are pushing the direct personal
appeal as never before. Dr. Dawson of
England, the apostle of the new evangelism, is invited to make a tour of many
months throughout the leading cities of
the Union. Men are being roused.
Other denominations seeing how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together
in unity are asking to enter the triunity
so happily forwarded in lowa's capital
city. A new spirit has entered the
Churches. Every week witnesses to the
growth of a denominational consciousness which realizes it the mission ol the
Congregational Church to serve in wider
relations than ever. Not sectarian
growth but larger service—service in
helping to blot out sects and merge
churches, service in bringing to men the
consciousness of God, service in bridging the industrial chasm between class
and class until classes shall cease to be.
It was a privilege to be present at a
gathering so potent and historical. Hawaii needs the inspiration of this Council. Its spirit is the spirit for which this
Territory sighs.
Yale and Harvard
No better evidence of the thorough
permeation of the Mainland Churches
with this spirit can be found than in
the missionary movement in the two
oldest and largest Congregational colleges. To many the names Vale and
Harvard suggest ideas of friendly rivalry in sport, to others high ideals of
scholarship, to still others the rounded
culture befitting educated gentlemen,
but few have any notion 6f the splendid
training in social service and in practical
religious work open to every student in
these two universities. Of late years
the field exploited by the active Christian men has expanded beyond the boundaries of the Mainland states. One of
the best friends Hawaii has is Dean
Frank K. Sanders of Vale whose interest in this Territory is made evident not
only in the persons of Revs. Mr. Hopwood and Dr. Baker but also in his readiness to influence others of his best men
to come and labor here. Greater America
however does not bound the field in the
eyes of these ardent collegians. Recently at Cambridge the Harvard Mission was organized with the fourfold
aim of familiarizing the University with
�THE FRIEND

the work of Harvard men in the foreign
field, of securing subscriptions to support graduates as missionaries, of bringing into a compact union all the students
who expect to enlist in missionary service and of sending into the foreign
field within five years no less than twenty
Harvard men who are to be encouraged
to go where the need and opportunity
are greatest. Meantime Vale has invaded Hunan, the central province of
China and the nursery of its noblest
sons, and at Chungsha its capital is
erecting a Christian University for the
higher education of men drawn from all
over the Empire. The work done by
each of these American Universities is
to be undenominational. Indeed the
various missionary societies laboring in
Central China expect to relegate to the
new Vale in Hunan all higher educational work, reserving for themselves
only the preparatory schools. In these
days of frenzied finance it is well to stop
and think that the young men who are
to lead in the America of the future are
being banded together to bring the
world to Christ not only in Vale and
Harvard but elsewhere throughout the
educational centers of "God's Country."
Frenzied Finance
The sudden reaction from financial
depression to elation caused by the rise
in the price of the staple production of
this Territory calls for serious consideration. The promise of prosperity is a
good thing. Men were made to be glad
when successful. And that gladness
opens doors facing in two directions.
(hie is upward to larger opportunity by
the way of self-control. The other is
downward to inevitable narrowness of
life along the road of speculation. Our
community is facing this alternative. It
is time for leaders to set wise examples,
to forego the opportunity of large speculative gains made through the forcing
of securities above the point of actual
permanent
value,
to
discourage the
boom movement, and in especial to lay
emphasis on other than material values
by generous support of institutions
which stand for spiritual ideals. The
tendency of such a financial season as
the present is to induce persons with
small means to risk their all and too
often that which is not their own in the
hope of large gains. The question for
the Christian capitalist to consider is
this: "Is it right for me to sell my
stock at a price above its conservative
value to young men and to others of
untrained judgment knowing that they
must suffer by the inevitable contraction
in price which will come some day ? Am
I not by so doing taking more than an
equivalent for what I exchange, in other
words am I not defrauding?" Of course
the market may not yet have reached
this condition. Judgment of financial
values is also a delicate matter especially
in view of such a commodity as that for
which Hawaii is famous. The role of
a prophet is not courted by any one and
the most conservative judgment may err
in over or under estimation. Granting
all this, should not some of our public
spirited men of business insight be
ready to sound the warning when the
danger point is evidently drawing near?
The Nick of Time
A quaint old English expression this
but one full of meaning. It might be
paraphrased "the wink of time." The
old man with the sickle is now winking.
To get the right work in before the eyelids close demands quick action. In
other words if our leading Christian
business men desire to turn the thoughts
of the community to nobler things the
moment for doing so most effectively is
now. (httside of generous aid to evangelistic work no better method of accomplishing this end for Honolulu can
be sought than by founding a public
library. In this age when less than half
a dozen towns in Massachusetts are
without an institution of this nature the
backwardness of this city is a reflection
upon our public spirit and our Christian
pretensions. Why not have one at once?
The Legislature is about to meet. Suppose the owners of the private library
on Hotel street should offer their plant
to the Territory on condition that a
Board of Trustees be constituted to manage its affairs consisting, say of nine
members, four of whom to hold office for
life and to be self-propagating shall be
chosen by the donors, four to serve for
stated terms shall be appointed by the
Governor who himself shall be the ninth
member c.v-oflicio and on the further
condition that the Territory appropriate
at least a minimum sum annually for its
support. Will the Territory decline this
offer? Could not some of our leading
commercial men render a declination
practically impossible by financial gifts
which should insure to the city a library
worthy of its size, its h'gh degree of
intelligence and its conglomerate population? It is even conceivable that Mr.
Carnegie would gladly aid a movement
of this character. Very wisely his gifts
are always conditioned on a goodly
measure of government support. No
public library should be established
without this kind of constant popular
backing.
Local Option
Senator Dickey's bill which is printed
on another page merits the serious consideration of every one in the community. The first thing that commends it
is its fairness to all parties. Temperance
people often allow their view of the
evils of strong drink to obscure their
sense of justice. The liquor seller has
his rights as well as any other member
of the body politic. Society has fostered
his creation or evolution. Society is responsible for him and therefore must
treat him fairly. His business while
legally pursued must not be taken from
him without giving him both a chance to
be heard in his defence and time to adjust his affairs or without appeal to the
opinion.
supreme authority—public
Senator Dickey's bill recognizes this
truth. It treats the liquor dealer fairly.
It puts the whole question of the sale
of intoxicants where it belongs upon the
intelligence and conscience of the people. It says to the liquor dealer and to
the advocate of no license "Prove jour
case. The people are the jury. If you
convince them you have them behind
you to enforce the only sovereign dictate
among men, that of public opinion." And
the proposed bill does this without cost
to either side. At every election the
question must come up as a matter of
course and be decided by the will of the
majority. Again its feasibility recommends it strongly. It is simple, calls for
no machinery, proposes no radicalism,
offers no inducements to litigation and
is proving its practicability in many
parts of the United States. A third consideration in its favor is its address to
the intelligence. The proposition is a
challenge to both sides in the liquor controversy to train the mind of the electorate. Such a bill is a mighty aid to
the cause of public education. We need
this kind of thing in Hawaii more than
in any section of the country except
Porto Rico and the Philippines, because
of the greatness of the task before us
in training Hawaiians and Asiatics in
the intelligent use of the ballot. The
more frequently such referendums not
only on this question but upon other
matters of public policy may be had, the
better for the future of these Islands.
Every two years the forces of license
and of restraint will line up to convince
young and old and the result must be
progress. Still further this bill proposes
a stated appeal to conscience. Most
political questions are matters of policy
and address the prudential faculty. The
liquor question enters the realm of conscience and thus trains the higher powers of the human soul. We need such
�5
THE FRIEND
appeals more and more frequently in a
republic. We are forever splitting on issues dubbed democratic and republican.
Here is a question which moves in the
realm of the higher manhood. By all
means let us have this biennial opportunity to speak to the conscience of the
voter and thus train his loftier faculties.
Finally the issue is with the moral will.
The hardest thing a man has to do is to
learn to say no, no to the lower nature,
no to mere complacency, no to evils that
threaten manhood, the family, the nation, human society itself. Senator
Dickey's bill proposes at regular intervals an appeal to this power to say "ho"
in every voter. The friend prays the
Legislature to grant this privilege to the
citizenship of our Territory..
The County Scheme
It is clear that county government is
not desired by the intelligence and
moral worth of the Territory.' Upon its
face it smacks of jobbery. Its purpose
seems to be to create offices, useless
offices. Its only outcome promises to be
the waste of the people's money. Why
should not the whole project be condemned kindly, wisely but firmly by all
true patriots? There is, however, a
healthy demand underlying the movement in its favor. The people desire to
participate more directly in their own
government. Why not grant this demand? It can be done in two ways, first
by the creation of town government
after the New England pattern and second by the use of the referendum upon
questions in which our electorate can be
educated. With regard to the referendum it may be said that resort to this
expedient should at first be had with
caution. Senator Dickey's local option
bill opens the way to its wise use. Gradually it may be employed more widely as
our voters grow in intelligent use of the
ballot. The town meeting, however,
might be established at once. Certain
simple local matters might at the outset
be relegated to the towns and the ideal
of public service as an honor and privilege might be fostered by the general
policy of official positions without pay.
Difficulties doubtless would beset the
inauguration of such a measure but it
is certainly not impossible. Is it not
worth trial ?
Civic Federation
A movement which may mean much
for the future of this Territory was inaugurated last Thursday in the Chamber
of Commerce when a company of business and professional men gathered to
consider the question of a federation
whose object should be "to aid in se-
curing good government through the religious interest. If this be followed

It gathered a remarkable assemblage of
giants. The faces of some were missed,
notably the brothers Moore of Harvard, Gordon of Boston and Gunaaulus
of Chicago. But there was so much real
eloquence, such
a plethora of good
things that no one could take all in. Dr.
Bradford of Montclair, pastor of the
second largest church in New Jersey,
struck the keynote in the present day

voicing the demand for closer organization. His successor Dr. Gladden of

to which he was elected.
Another sturdy son of New England
who has risen to the command of one
of America's greatest Universities, President Cyrus Northrup of Minnesota
stood forth as one of the leaders in the
Council. Orator, wit, matchless presiding officer, and consumate organizer,
President Northrup enlivened the sessions with his quick sallies, his keen repartee, his genial presence and his noble
thought. His seventy years sit lightly
upon his broad shoulders and his splendid voice rolls forth as gloriously as in
the days of old when he taught us
youngsters at Vale. It was a rare treat
to be his comrade, for a full week sharing the same hotel room. Stories of his
encounters with other giants of the rostrum were freely circulated by the delegates but none that showed him issuing

years ago New York's silver tongued

BOARD DOINGS.
At its January meeting the Hawaiian
Board heard the Secretary's report of
the results of the visit of the delegation
to the mainland and requested its publication in the daily press. It afterwards
appeared in the Advertiser by courtesy
of the editor. Dr. Baker of Kona sat
as a corresponding member and gave
a deeply interesting account of the progress of the work in West Hawaii. It is
long since the Board has listened to
such a delightful resume. The engagement of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Rath to
work in Honolulu was ratified. They

word has come from him yet as to
whether he will accept the offer. It is
a rare chance. Messrs. K. Koinuro and
M. Nagayama were requested to come
to the territory for evangelistic work.
These two gentlemen are studying at
present in the Eastern States. Steps were
taken to push evangelistic work in Kakaako and among Japanese families especially women in the field of the Makiki church. The Board decided to send
Rev. Mr. Thwing to China to advance
the interests of our work among the
Chinese of this Territory. He will
probably leave Honolulu during this
month. A number of plans for increasing the efficiency of our Portuguese,
Japanese and Chinese Departments were
discussed and it was decided to follow
them out enthusiastically. Notwithstanding the press of business engagements at the opening of the year the
meeting was largely attended by Honolulu business members and great interest
was manifested.

ENORMOUS IRRIGATION ON OAHU
FROM ARTESIAN WELLS.
"Wonderful Tunneling in Hawaii"
was the title of an article in the January issue of The Friend, which described
a very remarkable advance just made in
supplying surface water for irrigation,
as accomplished by means of an immense use of tunnels underneath rug-
ged mountain ridges thereby reaching
copious streams which have hitherto
seemed inaccessible.
The writer is told that the great interest evinced in that article calls on him
to supplement it by a sketch of the older
and less novel but even more remarkable growth of irrigation by means of
pumping from artesian wells. The former topic invited notice on account of
its novelty. But the artesian system of
irrigation existing chiefly on Oahu, although somewhat familiar to our readers on this Island, is not only more peculiar than the tunneling, but confers
irrigation on arid lands to a far larger
extent than upon any other island of
the group.
This will be seen by the following
figures: the artesian wells on Oahu are
yielding a daily supply of from 250 to
300 millions of gallons of water. The
new tunnels on Maui and Kauai have
added 175 millions of gallons to a previous daily supply of water considerably
less.
Artesian wells first began to be bored

it was enforced from the best of motives, and with a view to the well being
of the people. Yet all agreed that the
present might prove a critical time in
relation to our Sunday Law if Christian
people remain indifferent to the course
of events.
It is becoming clearer every day that
there exists an irrepressible conflict between opposite convictions of men with
respect to the sanctity of the Sabbath
day. We are laying the foundations of
a new State in the Pacific. We are in
danger of following the lead of California, the only state in the Union having
no Sabbath law.
As Christian people we should make
known to legislators our desire that the
Sabbath Law be preserved, otherwise
we may soon find our Sabbath undefended by law. And a defenseless Sabbath, assailed by covetousness intensified by competition, will retain its place
in our communities with greatest difficulty, or be as completely abolished as
it was in France by the Revolution.

under a reign of liberty and light, the
Hawaiian people have made much progress. Less ardent, less thirsting for

Dr. Lyman was one of the earlies

known as Oahu College, and was gradu
at <*j years
�THE FRIEND
from Williams' College in 1858, being the valedictorian of the class, then
studied medicine in Harvard Medical
School, and in the New York College
of Physicians.
He married Miss Sarah Kitredge
Clark of Honolulu, taking his bride to
Chicago where he soon established a
fine practice.
Their home on Ashland Boulevard
was the rendezvous of a wide circle of
Hawaiian friends when passing through
the great city of the West.
From boyhood Henry Lyman was an
insatiable reader. Like several ot tlie
children of the pioneer missionaries, in
the isolation of their earliest years they
became, in infancy, infatuated with
books, and in the first decade of life,
through the medium of good reading,
entered into an acquaintance with the
wide realm of the thought of the ages.
For such, infancy is cut short, boyhood
is omitted, and manhood entered upon
early.
Dr. Lyman was a man of great learning, of wide reading, and of the most
thorough acquaintance with the foremost thought of his profession, standing
among the highest of the greatest physicians of this country and of the world.
If so broadly cultured a physician can
be said to have a speciality in his profession, his was Insanity and Nervous
Diseases. He was the author of several
medical works, among them, "The
Family Physician," "Insomonia and the
Disorders of Sleep." His work upon
nervous diseases is considered as one of
the highest authorities in this department of medicine.
Among the pleasures of his later studious life was an annual visit to Washington to attend the yearly meeting of
a society consisting of one hundred of
the most eminent physicians of the
world, of which society he was one year
the president.
He was a promoter and founder of
a leading Medical Institution of Chicago,
Rush College, of which he was for many
years the Dean. He was greatly beloved
and honored by the students and graduates of this Medical College, some of
whom are to be found upon these Islands.
He was the physician of the students
of the Chicago Congregational Theological Seminary, usually serving them
without charge, and was also a professor
in this Seminary, giving occasional lectures on hygiene. These students were
always welcome in his beautiful home.
He possessed a wonderful memory,
which placed at his immediate command

A CHAPTER OF ADVANCE.
Kawaiahao Seminary opened in September with an exceptionally prompt
return of the pupils. At the end of
the first month, practically all who are
now registered were in attendance. The
enrollment at the close of the first term
is eighty-four, with an average attendance of seventy-eight. Ten or twelve
new pupils are expected next term.
The work proceeds this year, with
one or two exceptions, along the usual
lines, but with a prospect of greater
efficiency through the possession of
much-needed improvements and equipment. A notably capable teacher has
been secured for the weaving, under
whom it is expected that the work will
be so improved as to open to our products the market of the local curio
stores.
()nly what was absolutely necessary
the comfort of the pupils and the continuance of the work, has been attempted in the way of repairs and improvements to the building and its equipment. A new building and location are
so sorely needed, that it has been deemed best to make no more outlay than
necessity demanded, upon the one now
occupied. But such expenditure as has
been madt of the additional funds raised last year, has greatly facilitated the
to
improvements.
A feature of the work which is becoming encouraging is a tendency on
the part of parents and relatives of pupils, to remember the school with an
occasional gift. Some half dozen sacks
of potatoes have been received this year
from such sources, also other vegetables, honey and fish. The day before
Christmas, a pupil who had gone home
for the holidays presented herself at the
school with a fine live chicken dangling
from one hand, and two lobsters from
the other,—her father's present to the
school.
In sharp contrast to these loyal
parents, and an excellent foil for them,
is one recently encountered, who on
finding a bottle of iodine, marked
"poison" by the bedside of his sick
daughter, expressed his suspicions with
no uncertain sound, and straightway removed the patient to regions which he
considered more conducive to longevity.
Happily, such ignorant distrust is rare.
By its regular friends the school was
most kindly remembered at Christmas
time. A pig and four chickens were
sent for the pupils' luau, by a Chinese
tradesman, candy and nuts from the
New England Bakery and Lewis & Co.,
boxes of apples from Mrs. S. N. Castle
and Mrs. J. B. Atherton, a box of
oranges from Yee Hop & Co., a fivegallon can of honey from Kauai, and
buns from the Y. W. C. A.
The health of the school has been remarkably good,—a blessing which we
K. C. M.
hope will continue.
ALEXANDER HOUSE, WAILUKU,
MAUI.
In order to keep our friends aware
of the vitality of Alexander House it
may be permissible to refer to some
items necessarily omitted from the December "Friend."
( )ne evening twenty-nine boys were
entertained by phonographic music
through the kindness of Mrs. Scott.

The concert given in November was
a success, and largely so because of the
piano and vocal music rendered by Mrs.
F. C. Atherton and the Indian-club work
by Mr. Atherton. Mrs. Atherton played most excellently in the farce given
December i. We feel very grateful to
these friends for their cheerful help in
many ways.
The beautiful illustrations in "Country
Life in America," subscribed for by Mr.
and Mrs. H. B. Penhallow, are a delight
to the children.
Since the Christmas holidays the
average attendance at the girls' classes
has been 13 and in the evening 12. The
Kindergarten enrollment is 70.
A mother's meeting was held January
19. It is expected that the mothers will
be invited once each month.
Thirty-two Chinese and Japanese
girls were invited to a party Saturday
afternoon, January 21. At these occasions the workers feel rich in the ownership of 4 dozen each of plates, glasses
and cups, (bought with the concert proceeds), and of saucers given by friends
whose name we suspect is Case.
The reading club and Miss Laura
Wells have given several books to the
library. We are glad some of them are
adapted to children of which class of
books we are in great need.
E. A. B.
THE FRIEND
We have at this place one family of
believers in the persons of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Fernandes, Jr. These brethren have
been of us a great help and encouragement. Mrs. Fernandes is very dear to
us, of a sweet disposition, an untiring
zeal and devotion for the cause, she has
been an inspiration to us. May God
bless them, and give them spiritual
strength to go forward, scattering sunshine in the midst of darkness, with
their consecrated lives in the name of
our dear Lord.
On October 16th last, we organized
a Sunday School at Hamakuapoko with
32 children, 25 of these being Portuguese, and balance, native and Porto
Ricans. Today we have 61 enrolled,
and of these 36 are Portuguese, the
others being of different nationalities.
The average attendance at this school
for the last three months, was 35; the
highest number attending at any one
time of enrolled scholars, was 56, and
the lowest 14. The Sunday previous to
this the attendance was 16. The small
attendance on these two Sundays, was
caused by outside interference. But
stirred to stronger activity by this opposition, we went to work, and with our
Heavenly Father's help succeeded in
getting 46 to attend the following Sun-
services at the Paia Chapel, leavissg at
the present time about $5 in treasury.
Our aim shall be, with God's help, to
work and live for the salvation of souls
among these people, forgetting not the
example of our Saviour, who came not
to be ministered unto, but to minister.
