No. 3 ThG e overnor's Message This document is worthy of the Territory and its public-spirited Governor. The first impression gained after a careful reading is its up-to-dateness. The recommendations for voting machines, in favor of revenue producing public improvements, advocating the imposition of an inheritance tax and suggesting the taxing of franchises, are all in the line of the demands of the age. Some critics may suggest that the Governor might have indicated under the head of revenue producing improvements certain specific public works that would he sure to prove lucrative to the Territory. Bat this seems to us to be asking too much. The representatives <>f the people should be left to devise such details themselves. The financial part of the message is an excellent bit of work. The delrt figures are very serious indeed and the warning uttered by the Governor is none too strong. ()ne naturally questions why Mr. Carter should have singled out only the Honolulu Rapid Transit and the telephone companies to the exclusion of the ()ahu Railroad, in bis recommendation of a franchise tax. No favoritism should be shown to any corporation operating a public utility. All deserve to be treated alike. ()ne of the best things in the message is the gloveless handling of the narrow-minded suggestion that Asiatics be debarred the privilege of public education. Fifty years from now the Asiatic element in America's population will be esteemed on a level with the much vaunted immigration from northern Europe, the decline in which of late years is so greatly deplored throughout the country. .Isiii will repay America 200 cents on every dollar of material and moral values expended upon her.

It is the most Twenspirited men in Hawaii to send to the tieth-century like suggestion in his fine Treasury of this Society a gift in apprc- message. By all means let us have such T. R. �4 revenue producers. If the Government should convert the upper level reach of Nuuanu valley into a great reservoir— a comparatively simple and inexpensive procedure,—it would at once create a water supply adecpiate to all the future needs of this city and would be in a position to manufacture, at a trifling cost, electricity enough not only to light its streets, but to furnish light, power and perhaps heat to the people at low rates, besides realizing a handsome profit. Why not? If the great plantations, l'uunene, Makaweli, Waialua, Wailuku and Lahaina can harness the streams, surely the Territory can do the same and reap a golden harvest for its own support. Complaints are constantly heard in reference to the inadequacy of our telephone system. Common complaint has it that fewcities have a system so unsatisfactory or where such discourtesy and lack of attention is shown the public by the employees at the "Central" as Honolulu. The Territory could install a telephone system on all the Islands which would be efficient and would bring in a welcome revenue. Why not expend some of the loan fund on such improvements as these, which will help to pay off our indebtedness and reduce our burdensome taxes? Statistics These are coming in from the various churches after a slow fashion. The likelihood is that Hawaii will just succeed in crawling into the Year Hook at the eleventh hour. Next year we must do better. We ought to be the banner Territory, and every nerve will be strained to bring this about in 1906. Our churches make a very poor showing in benevolences. A half century ago the story was vitally different. The missionary leaders believed that a Christian who did not give was a Christian who did not live. In the slow decline of the churches during the last 40 years, giving has lessened. There must be a new campaign of education. Every church without some figures to its credit in the column of contributions to Home and Foreign missions should consider itself disgraced. The local Associations without exception voted last year that each church should make semi-annual contributions to both the Hawaiian Roard for Home Missions, and the American Hoard of Foreign Missions. What has been the result ? ( hit of a total of 83 churches, 2J have contributed to the Home Hoard and 10 to the Foreign Board. Only one Japanese church out of 13, and only two Chinese churches out of 6 report a cent given to either cause.

In another column we publish a sketch of that Nestor among religious leaders in this Territory, Rev. Edward (I. Beckwith, 1). I)., whom every one delights to honor. We sympathize deeply with the Makawao Church in being called upon to part with a pastor, so beloved, so rich in spiritual experience, so inspiring a preacher, so sympathetic in personal ministration. We rejoice that he is spared to give the benediction of his presence and counsel. Dr. Beckwith has done rare service and has laid in bis debt hundreds of persons in Hawaii who look up to him as spiritual leader and faithful teacher. We congratulate him upon the privilege of enjoying the fruits of his abundant labors and of listening to the blessings pronounced upon him by those whom he has led into the largeness of the spiritual life. May he continue long with us to guide with his wisdom and inspire with bis spirit. SOMETHING NEW IN EVANGELISM. In a little village in South Wales last November a religious movement began so quietly and so spontaneously that no one has as yet been able to point to its cause or its initial manifestation. The piercing light of investigation at the hands of modern newspaper men, than whom no keener spiers-out of truth have ever existed, has been turned full upon the whole history of this contemporaneous phenomenon,'and the result is a frank "I do not know" to the question of howit originated. Campbell Morgan puts it thus: "In the name of God let us all cease trying to find the origin of the movement. At least let us cease trying to trace it to any one man or convention. You cannot trace it, and yet I will trace it tonight. Whence has it come? All over Wales—l am giving you roughly the result of the questioning of fifty or more persons at random in the week—a praying remnant has been agonizing before God about the state of the beloved land, and it is through that the answer of fire has come. You tell me that the revival originates with Roberts. I tell you that Roberts is a product of the revival. You tell me that it began in an Endeavor meeting, where a dear girl bore testimony. I tell you that was part of the result of a revival breaking out everywhere." Thus here and there the fire kindled until the whole of Wales was ablaze and in five short weeks more than 20,000 persons were added to the churches. The characteristics of the movement have been song, prayer, tes- Hut today the world generally is unusually prosperous. God has filled man's lap with money, and lo! the chief goods of the world are found useless to satisfy the longings of the human spirit. The old scripture experience is being reenacted "And He gave them their request, Hut sent leanness into their soul." The terrible exposures of rottenness of character made by Miss Tarhell, Ray Hakcr, Lincoln Steffens, Stannard Thomas W. Lawson and others in high places, the widespread conviction awakened by these pictures in the inmost souls of the readers "Alas the same sin is dormant in my own heart," the revelation of the blighting effects of love of money, the consciousness that our boasted civilization is being found guilty of crimes that unrepentcd must damn it forever, the awful peril of doom for the race and for the nation as well as for the individual whom Mammon rules— all these are disclosing our leanness of soul. We are rich, yet in truth we are ineffably poor. True religion has died in thousands of souls who go to Church, and pass through the round of pious observance as well as in myriads of the careless who live but for the day. This is a blessed sickness which God is causing. And no place on earth needs it more than Hawaii. Go wherever you please in these Islands. Everywhere you will find material requests granted by (iod. side by side with leanness of soul. Would that the Spirit might move here, exposing our selfishness, our contentment with self, our spiritual poverty. Somewhere there is a repenting remnant. Let it get on its knees and stay there in sackcloth and prayer until God begins to stir the dry bones. '.lie city was stirred, the saloons even D.

Laymen have awakened to their responsibility for the salvation of their companions. It has been a wonderfully joyous experience. Its thoroughgoing character is attested by the changes it has wrought in conduct. The commissioner sent to investigate the conditions in Wales by the London Christian World says: "A revival which reconciles people who have not spoken to each other for years, which reunites separated husbands and wives, which restores prodigal sons and daughters to heart-broken parents, which amazes tradesmen by filling their tills with money they had given up as hopelessly bad debts, which stops swearing, drinking, gambling and scamping of work, which makes advocates declare that there is no work for them in the police courts, which brings Magdalens by the score from the streets to the "set fawr" or "big pew," where the penitents are dealt with, which closes low drinking clubs by members almost to a man returning their tickets of membership, which sends betting bookmakers back to earn their living in the colliery or in their old trades —this is a revival that was bound to win the respect of even the non-churchgoing man in the street." Cross the ocean now and come to the staid old town of Schenectady in New York State. Here the churches as usual united to observe the Week of Prayer. The newest pastor in town, a fresh voice, was asked to do the speaking. There was nothing especially moving in the message and it was enforced with none of the familiar methods of present day revivals. But somehow people began to Hock to the meetings, - �6 THE FRIEND REV. EDWARD GRIFFIN BECKWITH, had in it such brilliant men as Prof. John D. D.—FIFTY YEARS Baacom of Williams, Rev. Rotxrt K.

When, in after years, he settled in NewEngland, as pastor of the hirst Congregational church, of VVaterbury, Connecticut, where he had a most successful and happy settlement, he formed the habit of using Ins manuscript partly in deference to the tastes of his eastern audiences, who bad been accustomed to bear sermons thus delivered, laughingly he tells of one old lady to whom he preached in his earlier ministry, who remarked, MAKAWAO FOREIGN CHURCH.

He was a careful student and in [857. graduated from Williams College at the His coming to Punahou was most opbead of the class of '49, a class which portune. During the years of his admin- istration, 1854 to 1859, there was in atthe school a company of \ollng people who were waiting to receive in their education the formative influence of just such a strong character. They were sons and daughters of the early missionaries, and to mention them would Ik- to mention many leading names of these Islands. Valuable as was the work which he did previously as principal of the Royal School,—his first charge here, 1851-54—in moulding Hawaiians of noble and royal blood, it was nothing to what he achieved at Punahou in helping to make the characters of the future white citizens whose influence has now been felt for a generation, both in Hawaii and 011 the mainland. During the stormy days of 1803, and the six previous years of his pastorate of Central Union church, perhaps the most critical period of our history, these same sons and daughters, now heads of households, looked to him again for spiritual guidance. No teacher ever did more for his pupils, and no pupils ever idolized their teacher with a stronger affection. It is his remark that "No man was ever more fortunate in his pupils," and their reply is that no man ever came more opportunely to bis post, or filled it better, than Dr. Heckwith. They believe that he has still before him years of continued usefulness and influence, and they wish him and his companion of more than fifty years the blessings of a revered old age, in the sunshine of children and grandchildren and a large circle of loving friends.

It is here that these nations first join hand in friendly intercourse across the wide Pacific. At these islands, in the very center of the ocean's CTOSI roads, China has her first view of the life and civilization of her Occidental neighbor. Her officials, her statesmen, her teachers and scholars, on reaching Honolulu, see for the first time a real American city. The relations between the Chinese and Americans of Hawaii have always been most friendly, and it is here in this Eastern center of American life that the strongest effort should be put forth, to build up the best evangelistic educational and social work, for the Chinese who have come among us. TIIK ( lIINKSK OK HAWAII. For more than fifty years the Chinese have I-ved in these islands, year by year coming in larger numbers, until just before the annexation to the United States, they numbered about 39.000. In earlier times, they carried on an extensive trade in sandalwood with the chiefs of old Hawaii, so that even now the �8 THE FRIEND. islands are known to all the Chinese by the name of "Tan Heung Shan" or "Sandlewood Mountain." Much of the development of the islands, the sugar industry, the rice plantations, has been due to these steady working people. Although since becoming a part of the United States, their numbers have been decreasing, they are today one of the best and most reliable classes of our population. Travelers from California have often remarked that the Chinese of Honolulu seem to be a better class, as a rule, than those of San Erancisco. Why is it so? They are exactly the same kind of people as those in California, all coining from much the same districts of South China. Hut in Hawaii the Chinese have been better treated, have been given a fairer chance than on the mainland. They have been protected and trusted, and have as a rule well proved themselves worthy of the kindly feeling extended to them. If you should visit among the Christian homes of Honolulu today, you would find many of the brightest, pleasantest and in every way quite American homes, those of the Chinese. In the schools they are among the most industrious and capable of the students. They have proved themselves faithful in positions of trust. Some of them have already returned to China, and are putting their education and experience to g 1 use in helping their own people to a larger civilization. Some are now studying in Japan and making ready to help in the forward movement for China. CHRISTIAN WORK BOt THE CHINESE ciety.

One faithful worker under the Hawaiian Hoard was pastor of a Chinese Church on the Island of Hawaii for 24 years. In his declining years, he is now at his old home in China doing something for his people there. His son, a graduate of Mills Institute, is an active Christian young man in Honolulu today; he plays the large pipe organ in the Chinese Church, as well as giving good assistance in the Sunday School work. There are now six Chinese churches, besides many other stations for school and mission, carried on under the care of the Hawaiian Board.

The Federation numbers men of all shades of opinion upon the liquor question, drinkers and abstainers, saloon men and churchmen, those who favor high and low ami no license. Hut the Local ( Iption Hill is a measure Upon which all these can unite as a perfectly fair and American solution of the difficulties presented by the saloon problem. Doubtless no one will be better pleased with a Local Option Law than the Governor, upon whom in the last analysis the duty devolves of deciding where saloons shall be located. This power should be vested in the people alone. What they decide should hold. The Local Option Hill in effect relieves the Executive of this heavy burden and lets the people make the decision. The Civic Federation in cham- pioning this measure puts itself squarely upon the side of the entire people, otherwise taking no part in the mooted question of saloon restriction or expansion. If the Local Option Hill becomes law, the members of the Federation will still divideindividually onthe matter of license and no license. It should be thoroughly understood that this Hill is as clearly in the interests of license advocates as of no-license advocates. In fact, when it was recently discussed in the Executive Committee of the Federation it was valientlv championed by friends both of licensing saloons and non-licensing them.

' .Erie �THE FRIEND INTERESTS THAT BIAS JUDGMENT. The Governor says in his message: "We allow no man to be a judge of his own cause, because his interests would certainly bias his judgment, and it is not improbable would corrupt his integrity." Now, the Governor was very properly referring to the astonishing presumption on the part of liquor dealers that they were competent to make laws on the subject of liquor. "Bias," and to "judgment"? That's putting it mildly enough, Governor Cater, and you earn our admiration for moderate language. Now. in ethics, as in dressmaking, we take it that a "bias" is a sort of acute angle—a departure from the main line, as it were. Hence a bias of judgment might imply a somewhat angular "gore" in a man's fairness. Liquor dealers making laws in the interests of the community I That does not constitute a "bias": it's diametrically apposed to the public welfare. You see. your liquor man absolutely cannot legislate in the interests of the public and of himself at the same time. Everyone admits that the saloon is merely toler- ated, and that the business of legislation is to check the evils of drink, not foster them. This legal maxim is often lost sight of, due to the fact that we have stood saloons so long that they seem to have a sort of "adverse possession." Childlike and bland, wasn't it, —that bill published in our morning paper and proposed for legislative indorsement and coming confessedly from liquor men? And now they are combined, we are told, to defeat the Governor at all hazards. It was only the other day that we read of their efforts to back up a law-breaking saloon-keeper to resist the Governor. And why? Because he used bis power in refusing to reissue a license. There's where the rub is. The saloons want to curtail the Governor's discretionary power. Where are the public's interests, think you, in this fight? "Rights?" Aye, the saloon men may have a few, due to our criminal negligence. "Wrongs?" The people suffer them right along, and they far and away counter-balance the rights of saloon men. Moral:—Let's back up the Governor. TOO HIGH! It's the water rate. Not that people haven't noticed it; we think they have. What they are after is the remedy. Not every one can sink a well (we know of some that have) for the cost is large and many live above the thirty-two feet line. 11 per thousand gallons was put so high that the meter proved a forlorn hope. The officials seem to be living within their instructions and say they are powerless; they admit the rate is too high. What then? Is the necessity for revenue so great that the rates must be kept Up? Then woe betide taxpayer and property owner when county and municipal government gets its whack at him. It's the sewer rate, too. Many have connected with the sewer, though it We hardly goes past their doors. blame them, and as long as their places are sanitary (there must be considerable presumption to the contrary) they can hardly be forced to connect, as the law now stands. Think of a man paying nearly as much to get rid of waste water as he pays for fresh supplies from the mains! It really looks as though it Were money in a man's pocket if he let some one else own his home. Let landlordism be henceforth named a luxury. not MUSIC FESTIVAL. There is progress to be noted. Two choruses, "The Lord Is Great" and "March of ()ur Nation," are already in the hands of the choruses. The former is from Mendelssohn's "Athalie" and the music is popularly known as the "March of the Priests." The second is a stirring patriotic march by Adam Geibel. Both will be enjoyed by the young people w ho are to render them. Nothing new can be said about a soloist. Enquiry is being made on the Coast, and something can be reported soon. Variety on the programme is assured by more instrumental work and greater diversity in the character of the chorus selections. T. R. THE COUSINS' SOCIETY. Under date of January 24, our cousin Mrs. Frances S. Loomis writes to Miss M. A. Chamberlain from her home in Rochester, Wis. Probably Mrs. P.G. Taylor and Dr. Hi shop are the only persons surviving here who remember Mrs. Loomis' grandparents, the Ruggleses, who occupied the Kuapehu station in Kona in the early thirties. Mrs. L. tells of her youngest son Edward, of [6, making a line start at Hcloit College, "the youngest and smallest boy in college." Mr. Loomis had been suffering from a series of disasters, including broken ribs, and a bad carbuncle. A visit from a three-year-old grand-daughter, Frances L., is mentioned, and her going through all the motions of telephoning orders to butcher, grocer, etc., winding up with "Central, you keep me waiting—l don't want to rc]x>rt you, but it may be necessary." There seems to be controversy which of the tots Grandma likes best. The triplet boys are mentioned, who had at Christmas only horns and a mouth organ each—truly a strong band. A descriptive paragraph has true literamerit: "I wonder if you would care to look Upon my landscape for a few minutes? I can see Scott's Hill from my window, the highest point in the county; and the wagon road winding over it. The ground is covered with snow, and a sleet upon it causes a glow and sparkle which is beautiful in the afternoon sun. The trees on the hill standing out against the white background show each branch ry and at this distance look soft and velvety. "A man is coining with a loaded bobsled and two big horses, all in a cloud of steam from their breathing, and the man is thrashing his arms to keep warm. "Tin school children art 1 hurrying home, laughing and shouting, and I can see my neighbor splitting kindling-wood, and taking in the night's supply of wood and coal. "There is a maple tree in front of my window with a last year's bird's nest in it, from which flutter several strings. The robin will be back in the spring and build Up the new nest on the ruins of the old one. It is now a tbree-storv sort of an affair." That lively winter picture stirs one's mind almost with homesickness. "I hope to hear from you soon and favorably. Our times are in God's bands, and we must wait on Him. I have been wondering why it was necessary for me to be laid Up for the last three weeks— ami have tried to be patient. Hut I setso much to do, and want to be up and at it." There are many aged and enfeebled missionary cousins in Hawaii whose hearts can respond to Cousin Loomis. S. E. 15. OUR NEW OUTSTATION AMONG THE CHINESE. Punaluu, Oahu, Feb. 16, 1905.

All went on their knees and sang, "For You I Am Praying," and as it was time to commence work, the benediction was pronounced, the men marching to their work singing. "Throw Out the Life Line." Mr. David Davis, the manager of this pit, told me he had not heard one of the men swear for over three weeks;—a reThis scene is markable thing indeed. only one, typical of many that are daily taking place in South Wales coal mines, and at which many men are being converted. —Congregationalist. HAWAIIAN ITEMS OF INTEREST ( By a Correspondent of the Rritish Weekly.) I descended the pit other at 6 o'clock the morning. Reaching the bottom, I walked along the "partings" till I reached the "Baltic" seam. My guide, after explaining the workings of the mine, piloted me to a recess in this seam where a number of colliers had assembled. Presently the numbers increased, till over 300 men, each with his safety lamp, were gathered in a strange crowd. Some were seated on the floor; others knelt, numbers were standing. One of the number struck up Diolch Iddo ('Thanks He to Him) this was taken up by the others, and repeated again and again. An old collier jumped up, and told, in Welch, how. after five unsuccessful attempts to get a fellow workman to give his heart to God, he had at the sixth attempt, the previous night,triumphed. Diolch Eddoagan rang through the galleries. Two men prayed simultaneously, one in English and one in Welsh. Before they had finished, from the far end of the seam came the strains—in a rich bass voice—of "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah." In a moment everybody present was singing this beautiful hymn. Never did it sound so impressive as deep down in the bowels of the earth that morning. A dozen colliers of all ages testified at once, and prayer followed prayer in quick succession, when in a truly "encircling gloom" the men sang, "Lead, Kindly Light," many of them swinging their lamps ; one marveled at this great change that had come over these men, whose usual occupation before starting work was singing comic songs and indulging in coarse jest and vulgarity. The ponies, walking between the curve lines on their way to the workings, seemed amazed at the strange sounds and scenes. A brief address in Welsh was delivered by one of the men, who appealed for those who were on their way to glory to show lamps. Hundreds were hoisted aloft, and a few remained on the ground. The owners of the latter were immediately : .Advance in Sugar. During the past few months, the price of raw sugars in New York has advanced from alxnit $67 a ton to nearly $99, at which point it stands quite firm. Tor several years, Hawaii has been nearly without a profit upon our chief product. Finances have Several of been extremely depressed. the weaker plantations have been bankrupted, and the stronger ones have yielded but small dividends. The cause of higher prices is in the continued depression of the beet culture in Europe, and consequent increase of sugar consumption over supply. This seems likely to continue for some time, and makes our financial prospects somewhat brighter. a Brief Boom in Sugar Stocks. Eor sharp there was a short time in January jump in the prices of plantation shares, amounting to 60 per cent, in those of the stronger concerns, and 100 per cent, advance on prices of the weaker ones, many of which had been unduly depressed. A heavy "slump" speedily followed, of from half to two-thirds of the previous advance. The severe lessons of the disastrous "boom" of five years ago were remembered, besides which there were too little spare funds afloat in the community for extensive speculation. A steady advance in plantation values may, however, he reasonably expected. A Serious Drought. While the supply of rain in the islands was well up to the average during the latter part of 1904, there has been next to no rain since the latter part of December, and the drought is beginning to be seriously felt throughout the group. On the other hand, we have enjoyed two months of exceptionally lovely weather. It has been cool, the mercury in Honolulu ranging between a minimum of 560 and maximum of 84°, 0 The generally between 64 0 and 78 sky has continued almost cloudless. There has been a total absence of violent wind, with very little of southerly weather, which is always disagreeable if long continued. . . .In influx of Tourists. An unusualh large number of tourists for a month past have been crowding our hotels and ave- nues of travel, especially to the Volcano. They have been greatly favored by this unusually charming weather, devoid of heat, and calling for good supplies of blankets at night. In fact, hot water bottles in bed are often resorted to. Many globe-tourists have been making a Stopover both on the Japan and Australian routes. All have found unbroken sunshine and spring-like coolness. The commodious steamers on both routes, especially to Japan, have favored this tourist movement. 77ic Legislature. The third 'Territorial Legislature, which convened on the 15th Feb., has gone to work in a businesslike manner, and promises creditable results. Its chief labors will be to fit the public expenditures to the very narrowpublic income, and to deal with the strongly urged County Act, which is also urgently opposed on account of its increased cost of administration. S. E. H. UNITY. By John Greenleaf Whittier. 'This poem was written by Mr. Whittier while he was a guest at the Asquani House. A fair was being held in aid of the little Episcopal church at Holderness, and the people at the hotel were asked to contribute. These lines were Whittier's contribution, and the ladies in charge of the fair received ten dollars for them. They were written in an album now in the possession of a niece of Whittier's Philadelphia friend, |oscph Liddon Pennock.—S. T. Pickard.) Forgive, O Lord, our severing ways, The separate altars that we raise, The varying tongues that speak 'Thy praise! Suffice it now. In time to be Shall one great temple rise to 'Thee, Thy church our broad humanity. White flowers of love its walls shall climb, Sweet bells of peace shall ring its chime, Its days shall all be holy time. 'The hymn, long sought, shall then be heard, 'The music of the world's accord, Confessing Christ, the inward word! 'That song shall swell from shore to shore, One faith, one lowc, one hope restore 'The seamless garb that Jesus wore. Asquani House, Holderness, N. 11.

Mr. 'Thwing s]>oke of drink among the Chinese, which he claimed was not as bad as among other nationalities. The Rev. W. J. Wadman told of drink among the Japanese. Principal I lome spoke of drink from a young person's standpoint. The Hon. E. K. Lilikalani gave an amusing and interesting paper of conditions among the Hawaiiani in the reign of Kamehaineha I, and later showed what advance ment his people have made in religion. Senator Dickey read and explained his bill of local option. Every member of the Kawaiahao Society was present on account of which this society received a banner, given for financiers in this 'Territory, spending hours in patient consideration of details, some of which might seem petty to novices in work of this sacred nature, but all of which have to do with the advance of the Kingdom of Righteousness.
