This is the reflection which arises upon reading many of the utterances of the local dailies in this season of strenuous battling for the best things in our Territory. The Star has done noble service in its emphasis upon the unearthing of the Iwilei scandal and in the remarkable series of editorials upon this subject. And certainly no better work for manhood in this Territory was ever done than the publication by The Advertiser of March 27 of Dr. Howard A. Kelly's article on the social evil, together with the leading editorial entitled "The Twilci Question," followed a week later by Dr. Day's contribution. Honolulu needs just such plain speaking. This city occupies a peculiar position at the meeting of the two currents of oriental and occidental civilizations. Let vice once gain the upper hand here and we are doomed. Anyone who has studied in Asiatic ports the effects Upon white men of indulgence in social vice knows the awful depths of degradation and disease to which it leads. Every father of a boy. everv mother of a girl should be helped to recognize what Honolulu is facing in tampering with this frightful curse. Dr. Kelly's noble words have double significance here. Every sentence of his magnificent sermon, for such it is, should be burned dee]) in the conscience of every parent in this Territory. We have something more to say about this later on. Mr. Atherton's Letter class which has made Mr. Smiley rich— home lovers. Honolulu needs this class above every other one. Restless, excitement-seeking, carousing jollifiers add little to the wealth and nothing to the real prosperity of a community. But the people who have earned and saved money by self-control and who desire a sober community, blessed with a perfect climate in which to settle in order to educate children and spend their maturer years, are the most productive and helpful residents or visitors a city can secure. Honolulu has unrivaled advantages to offer such people. It can get them if it caters to them. They will help it wonderfully in assimilating the thousands from Asia who are here to be trained into American citizenship. Glorious Day It i: well worth living in this Mid-Pacific Paradise just at this juncture. There ire splendid moral battles being fought here. Evil and good are at it in death grapple. Fverv man and woman with a «oul should be in the arena. Frank, straightforward dealing, shoulder hitting if th.e doughtiest type, is called for. The FRIEND proposes not to mince words in the conflict. Yet everv blow it gives the stroke of a friend. There is no malice in anv of its contentions. Tt believes that good men differ on the most fundamental questions and it heartily respects everv honest opponent. Those two conferences with the Governor on the Sunday Bill were splendidly significant of an era of noble citizenship in this Territory.

Anvone who has studied conditions in the vicinity of Boston knows how well his statements as to me winning power of no license towns ate substantiated.

As usual, the sons of the Kingdom were caught napping. We have been whipped and deserve to lose. Hut we are not one whit discouraged. Our obvious duty is first to make one more earnest effort to lead the Legislature to repeal the new law and failing this carefully to watch developments, giving the new law a full trial. Then if its provisions are found to foster lawlessness or excess or prove detrimental to public morals, a thorough campaign must be organized to secure better legislation two years hence. Meantime let those who love Hawaii redouble every effort to prevent the passing of laws that will boater up the liquor traffic and pander to vice. The local Promooutcome rests tion Committee will hardly welcome wide advertisment of this Territory as having gone over entirely to Asiatic standards in establishing a wide-open Sunday with few safeguards for the working man's rest day. a yoshimura or Japanese prostitute quarter, and a liquor seller's paradise. American Backbone One of the most hopeful and by all odds the must impressive of Japanese characteristics is what, for want of a better name, may be termed Nipponism. The 'ittle brown man has been called the greatBeing found est borrower in history. minus a civilization some 1200 or more years ago. he imported one from the Asiatic continent: having 110 letters, be took over bodily the Chinese ideographs; without art, he loaned one from Korea; finding his own religion too meager, he accepted what the Hindu Gautama bad to give, and latterly, conscious of the worn out character of some of his earlier finds, he hastened to borrow from the west This is true to a degree, but it is still nearer the facts to say that while from the first day of his authentic history 'be Japanese has had his eye open for pood things, never in appropriating them has be acted as a slave to the foreign point of view. He has put the stamp of his own individuality upon every acquisition. Ife Iris so mixed his own with what he has taken from others that it has ceased to be foreign and become Japanese. He has been consistent with himself and never surrendered an iota of his free spirit. This backbone Quality of being true to himself i* a Splendid trait. Nipponism has made Japan the leading power of Asia, and may yet place her close to the head of the human race. In �5 THE FRIEND strong contrast to this is a certain weakness in the present day native-born American. With him toleration has become such a vice that as in the recent fight to retain the American Sunday on these Islands, the opposition argument has been freely urged that out of regard to the Asiatic's here it is a hardship to insist upon our national rest day. A Japanese could hardly understand such a strange plea. That one of the most distinctive features of the life of the entire nation, a characteristic which has had more to do with the development of its peculiar moral power than almost any other, should be surrendered merely to please aliens, is a proposition which has only to be clearly stated to carry its own condemnation. The same is true of the attitude of Christian management in our plantations towards Buddhism. The Japanese wonders at the lack of Christian cspritc dc corps which leads men to curry favor by giving money to a religion which tliey at heart oppose. The favor such conduct arouses in the astute little brown man is contempt. It is getting to be so that if we can only tack on the designation of "breatdth," "liberality," "toleration" to a scheme which involves the surrender of anything peculiarly American, the bluest-blooded among us will commence leaping on the graves of grandsires, hat in air, to the tunc of "down with old fogyism." Is it not time to call a halt to this movement of surrendering all that is distinctively nationa, at the beck and call of every considerable faction of our population hailing from abroad? America must be progressive, but not at the expense of her own individuality. Local Option The battle is on for this measure. If the believers in "fair play for all" will stand together, this peculiarly American measure can be carried through the Legislature. It is especially necessary that this question should be disassociated entirely from the anti-drink campaign. It is not a prohibition or temperance measure. It is merely putting the question of the location of saloons in the hands of the people, where it belongs. It is good to see that the liquor men perceive this, and some of them are quoted as in favor of the measure. At the recent Senatorial Committee hearing not an Opponent of the Dickey bill showed his face. The lawis so good that 39 states out of the 45 have incorporated the local option feature in their statute books. Experience everywhere is in its favor. It will relieve the Executive of the burden of deciding where to place saloons. It will give opportunity for popular education in civics. It will force saloon men and anti-saloon men to fight their battles in the open, without fear or favor, and the victory will rest with the ablest fighters. The first effect of the passage ot the bill will doubtless be to increase saloons. This will stimulate their opponents to do hard work both in furnishing substitutes —the only rational way socially to fight this ev il this commercial age—and in persuading the people to do away with them. in Central Union Column We add this month a new department, to be in charge of the Pastor of Central Union Church. The close relations sustained by this aggressive organization of liberty-loving Christians to the Hawaiian Board and every other good cause, not only in Honolulu but also throughout the Territory, makes the tidings of its work welcome news to our large circle of readers. This Church never rests on its oars. Its motto is "Advance," and inasmuch as it has the means to forge ahead, the exposition in our columns of the new methods which from time to time it is putting into practice, will prove both a help and a stimulus to all of its sistei Churches. We are anxious to have The Friend justify its name fully in the larger life of the Territory. We wish this, the oldest journal on these Islands, to serve as an advocate in every good cause. No realm—political, civic, social, industrial, moral or religious —must know it as a stranger. Jt is missionary just as the bringers of the Christian religion here were missionary, and this included everything that made for a wider, more wholesome, humaner and better civilization. A part of this large service regards Unchurch life of the Territory. We artglad that Central Union, the strongest ecclesiastical organization of Hawaii-nei, has consented to use our columns as its special medium of communication to the public outside of its own pulpit. We trust that its example will be followed by other churches throughout the Islands. We hereby extend a most cordial invitation to every pastor to send us items of general interest concerning his church. Thus we all may be bound together by ties of ever increasing intimacy and the helpful experiences, as well as the experiments of one, may be shared byall. This is one more step forward in the line of the policy of "Get together" inaugurated the early part of last year. Beautiful Honolulu The Friend rejoices in the manner in which the Research Club is pushing the Tantalus and Punchbowl park schemes. This city might have been made one of the most beautiful in the world. Its narrow streets, now a fixture, may prevent this; nevertheless its possibilities of loveliness are still very great. We may yet have a shore drive from the Iron Works around Diamond Head, and our hill summits may be made to rival anything known elsewhere. Little by little, under the fostering care of the Research Club, the Merchants' Association and the Civic Federation! together with their outgrowth of neighborhood improvement organizations, Honolulu may become famous for the unfolding into rare beauty of its civic spirit. Let us all take hold and make our city a paradise of charm. HONOLULU AND THE SOCIAL EVIL. High Sheriff Henry has succeeded well in focussing public attention upon this unsavory question. In the manner of bis doing this he doubtless blundered. Honest men often do that. It is a question whether his efforts to subject unfortunate women to medical treatment, though bungling, were not, after all, partially justified by the Act to Mitigate. Legal opinion seems divided u|>on the subject of this notorious law and until its status be passed upon by the courts, the question at issue cannot be cleared up. By all means let its constitutionality be determined quickly. In segregating the women at Iwilei, however, the Sheriff was clearly acting in despite of law. Upon the question of brothel keepers the statute is perfectly plain and the Sheriff was bound by bis oath of office to execute that law without fear or favor. Flagrant disregard of this statute deserves censure, however honest the motive. Executive officers have no discretion under such conditions. Meantime let it be added that in the case of an official so upright, so honorable and so faithful as Sheriff Henry, an error of judgment of this nature committed from a sense of duty, with the undoubted backing of uninstructed public opinion and pending legislative action, while meriting rebuke, can be and is forgiven. For the connection of a member of the Hoard of Health with Iwilei no adequate explanation has as yet been made public and if facts are as they have been stated it is difficult to see how the Governor can continue his retention upon the Board. Put the question remains what shall Honolulu do with the Social evil? A large part of the people of this community, including no small number of public-spirited and Christian citizens, answer unhesitatingly, "Segregate and Regulate by Medical Treatment." It is readily seen that this is a twofold proposition. Segregation means the forcible �6 collecting of prostitutes into one section of the city. Regulation includes the registration of all such women for enforced regular medical treatment. It is claimed by those who favor segregation that such women constitute a serious menace to public morals. If scat tered throughout the community they threaten wide contamination, especially of the young. When segregated in one quarter of the city the evil is confined there, immoral men know where to go to find companions in vice and therefore will not be so inclined to threaten with solicitations "our own daughters" on the streets. Meantime the thoroughfares being kept rid of the presence of the women, men themselves will meet with fewer temptations to vice. The advocates of compulsory registration and medical treatment point to the wide prevalence of venereal diseases and insist that it is the duty of the state to prevent as far as possible contamination by diseased women. It is confidently dc dared that this is tin- only "practical" solution of a very vexatious question. An obvious consideration in dealing with any belauded panacea for 8 great human ill is that of practicability. Is it possible to segregate women of this class? This inquiry cannot be settled by any such a Priori declaration as "If the police are determined to segregate them, it can be done." As a matter of human experience it has been found impossible to do this. It never has been done and never can be. Probably Japan has come nearer the goal in this matter than any other historic nation. Put anyone who knows Japanese life intimately can give definite instances and many of them of clandestine prostitution. This is true notwithstanding the fact that in that nation the police know the habits of all the peopk with a minuteness which seems marvelous to an Anglo-Saxon. Even in the Empire of the Rising Sun, under the most favorable conditions possible, segregation is a failure. When the experience of Europe •* questioned with its hundreds of years of experimentation the answer is conclusive. It has been impossible to confine all viei ous women in any Community in one bad quarter. Sheriff Henry has lent all the power of his office to accomplish segregation here and what is the result? In Iwilei he has rounded up, according to his testimony, less than 110 women. A private canvass of the city last September disclosed no less than »3 separate houses of ill fame. Of the uH women reported as in Iwilei lately, 117 were Japanese, 8 were Porto Ricans and 3 were French. Where were the Americans and I lawaiians?

"Segregation does not segregate, just as it has been shown that regulation does not regulate," is its sober conclusion upon this side of the question). A singular defect in the minds of those, who argue for treatment of physical ail* indulgence, is their entire ignoring of the question of the moral infection induced thereby. The New York report wisely remaiks: "< Ine lloes not need a revealed religion or a subtle moral philosophy to teach him that Unrestrained vice results in mental and moral disease and degeneracy far more insidious and far more dangerous to society than any form of physical disincuts traceable to lustful ease." Net the system of state regulation removes every possible governmental rcsl i.iint upon vice so far as men are concerned. "They are left free to in dulge themselves without let or hind ranee.

That any sane woman in Hawaii can lor a moment tolerate the thought "f such a proposition as stale regulation is almost unbelievable. If there are such they are an excellent illustration of the ancient proverb "Win in the gods would destroy they first make mad." A still more fundamental consideration than this of disease. ph) sical or otherwise, is the inquiry "Is the proposed system right ?" To segregate and regulate prostitution is to license it, that is to give to it the protection of the State. Now this evil is essentially repulsive to the moral nature of man the world over. Fouler than theft it ranks next to murder in the category of sin. It has no good side whatever. It clears up nothing t" add that "nun will do it" because the same may with equal truthfulness be said ol cither of these other crimes. The State has no right to legalize any one of them. I Li r Pebel justly remarks, "The more the State endeavors to protect the excesses of men the move will these excesses be indulged." The conclusion of the Committee of Fifteen meets with the "Amen" of the public conscience—"To limit the number of those who seek vicious pleasures, and to prevent the furnishing of such pleasures to those who are inclined to seek them is one of the first duties of government." If this be 7 true, the State which licenses prostitution by State perpetuating a grievous wrong. there that is Again the State has no right to encourage the practice of this vice. It is notorious that regulation does this because it Says in elleel to men, "You may safely indulge your passions," and sadly enough 111 saying this it foully lies. liy keeping the evil in plain sight the Stale compels the public to be tempted. 11 makes prostitution a political affair and gives it official standing in the community. The prostitute becomes a government chattel, removed 110111 the realm of moral considerations. Like a public lavatory, she is made a human necessity. All of which is fundamentally wrong. The State has no right to confuse moral issues, or to lead men to believe unbridled indulgence in passion a physical necessity. W ell does the great German Socialist stigmatize the State officials. What guarantee is if Hawaii enters upon a policy of segregation this will not take place here? Those of us who know the status of Japanese women fear this for some of them. Begin it with aliens and who will prophec) where this injustice will end? It is certainly nasty work for an en- lightened government. Furthermore, what right has the State to hold women in virtual servitude. Wherever segregation is practiced the condition of the poor herded creatures is that of a legalized slavery. The term is not ours. Listen to the language of the memorial presented in IKO4 to Pope Leo XIII by the entire Catholic Episcopate of Belgium where this wretched prevailed: "It is a slavery more revolting than that of tin- negroes."

It is incredible that a single married woman, least of all a mother, whom Christ has redeemed, should for a moment countenance such a blot Upon the fair name of Hawaii. In our inmost hearts we all of us know the whole business to be foul and wrong. Let us then cleanse ourselves from the accursed thing lest like Aclian we perish. 'The ideal is clear. 'The State may not in this age be able to eradicate vice. It can throw all its influence and force against it. Suppose Sheriff I lenry should take the public into his confidence and say, "I cannot suppress this evil, but with the help of all good citizens J can make it hide its head like theft and murder. My policemen shall suppress all public solicitation so far as possible. Every evil resort that foists itself upon public notice shall be closed. Citizens are invited to aid the police by reporting at the Sheriff's office all suspicious places and all public manifestations of the evil." It is conceivable that such a policy honestly administered would give the best results to be hoped for in the present state of civilization. Meantime if churches,schools and reform agencies co-operate by better care and education of children, by furnishing healthful recreation for all, by stimulating parents to instruct the r boys and girls naturally and in accordance with modern experience upon the sacred function of reproduction, and by systematic training in moral activity as well as in moral theory, we may hope for the evolution of a human society when this sad chapter of vice shall have been written to its end. D. S. A LETTER FROM JAPAN. The run from Honolulu to Yokohama has been most delightful; days of fine weather, games on the deck, pleasant chats with fellow passengers, all have made the time pass quickly. As the lino Sunday was only from 7 p. 111. to midnight of that evening. However, on the next day, meetings were held among the Chinese and Japanese, who seemed to enjoy them very much. It has been pleasant to meet and talk with the bright Chinese men on the ship, who so quickly and skillfully wait on our every need. It would be a real blessing to America if she could have more ot these ready and willing workers. .Much was learned from conversation with several Japanese gentlemen returning from England an] America. They have been studying and carefully thinking of some of the best things that the West can give, and arc now bringing back that knowledge for their own Japan. ( me was in business, one had been studying governmental finance, one was interested in naval construction, and one was working on the development of Formosa, but all seemed to have the one end in view, the building up of Orcat Japan. I hit these young men and many others, that are taking a leading place today, are not looking alone at Japan; they are realizing that it is their destiny to be leaders of Korea and China. They feel that these Oriental nations must all stand and advance together. The world will see one day a strong alliance between the two ( Oriental empires of Japan and China, an alliance that will not only be of benefit to the people of the East, but will also work for the peace and prosperity of the world. Wherever they meet, the Chinese and Japanese are becoming more and more friendly. Japan realizes that China must be preserved and developed. China is looking to her younger and more active brother for help. A writer in a Chinese paper, published not long ago, says: "It must be remembered that Japan is a country whose inhabitants are our brothers. We and they arc companions who ride in the same carriage." So now stu- preaching Christ to them. They seem to feel that God is helping them. Rev. 11. Loomis, speaking of the Christian spirit of the Japanese at this time, says: "The war between Japan and Russia has brought with it many surprises. One of these is the evidence of much Christian spirit on the part of the Japanese. Not until the nation felt that its future >vas at stake, and that every other means of securing their national rights bad been tried in vain, did they consent to the opening of hostilities. In the reports of their victories by the different officials in command reference has at times been made to the assistance of heaven; and this recognition of divine interposition on their behalf on the part of the leaders has been still more apparent on the part of the people. "An illustration of the Japanese spirit was recently shown when the news came of the fall of Port Arthur. A teacher in one of the mission schools for girls hastened to inform the pupils of the great event. After searching for some time she found that they had already learned what had occurred and were all gathered in one room 011 their knees giving thanks to God and praying for the Russians." The following translation by Prof. Lloyd of a recent Imperial poem shows the Emperor's kindly feelings for the Russians:, "The foe that strikes thee. For thy country's sake, Strike him with all thy might ; Put as thou striks't, Forget not still to love him." Now is the grandest Opportunity for Christian work in Japan. The hearts of the people seem open. Especially in the hospitals are the wounded soldiers glad to hear from the missionaries.

Very strangely our city of Honolulu has been called to make sad lament, if not even to suffer a sense of indignant shame, in behalf of the eminent lady whose monument is the great University at Palo Alto, which bears the name of her son, whose founding and growth she had made her splendid life work, and which now stands firmly planted to dig pense mighty forces of mental and moral culture throughout our Pacific (oast dm ing all these oncoming years of the grand national life then- growing to magnificent stature. It was our sad lot to witness a bitter and sudden close to that venerable life within our city's hospitality. It has been a deep sorrow to US here that her distinguished life was not pel initted to lapse calmly away in such ten der twilight as befits a noble old age. bowed with weight of years, but thai it was distressingly cut short in a sharp clutch of agony and terror, so unbefitting the dignity of her high position. We here take no part in the existing controversy as to the precise cause of death, whether from poison administered by malice, or from more natural causes. It is our painful lot to know that her breath was choked out in a most torturing anguish of body and mind, which extorted the cry "'This is a horrible death." Rightly or not, she at least fully believed herself perishing as the victim of some malignant poisoner. It was a most dark condition of death, embittered not merely by intense bodily agony, but by a consciousness of shameful indignity, all calling for our most pitying sympathy towards the aged sufferer. She tasted a great "bitterness of death!" It is, however, permitted to be our just consolation to believe that in being thus suddenly and painfully torn from the life of Earth, and ushered into what is Beyond, she came into a great bright life in the Divine Presence, where all that sharp anguish faded out as a "light affliction," in the experience Of "an exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Such are the compensations of Eternity. An Euthanasis was not vouchsafed to ibis aged one to enjoy. Put she will remain enshrined in the reverence of thousand of youth whose lives were enlarged by her beneficence, and who will long venerate the name of Stanford, even the more that it is associated with an ending of anguish and tragedy. We all may rejoice in an assurance that she shares in the glory of that blessed, immortal life beside which wholly pale all earthly distinctions and earthly enjoyments, and, barred from which, all these "good things" below fall into mockery.

It seems safe to estimate that not less than one-fifth of those visit ors will have contracted the malady, and fifty more unhappy victims of leprosy will be added to the present number through this official folly and neglect. Kissing and embracing arc known to be the surest method of leprous contagion. Unfortunately, our kindly I lawaiians have a mental incapacity for precaution against any form of contagion, and even resent precautions against it. I lence the great unpopularity of segregation of lepers, which is felt even by intelligent members of the Legislature. City Hater Stiffly — Folly of Gravity System. 'The present drought is demonstrating the folly of seeking to BUppl) Honolulu with water from our unreliable mountain streams. The present extreme scarcity of water is one evidence, even although a very costly system of reservoirs might temporarily relieve that. But an even worse effect is the deadly impurity of the reservoir water, which is charged witli filth and poisonous germs. 'The only fit and reliable water system for Honolulu is that of pumping from artesian wells, the system so long and sue cessfully in use on our great sugar plan tations. A most copious and exhaust less reservoir of the purest water underlies our whole district. It presses hard to mount to feet above sea-level wherever an artesian steel pipe is driven down several hundred feet to the watcrbcd. Thence it may be cheaply pumped to any required height for distribution. Such system of pumping has been perfected by fifteen years of extensive practice on our plantations, which are distributing several hundreds of million gallons daily over twenty thousand acres of cane. For our city supply such a system is the best, « and really the cheapest, because unfailing And it is free from microbes and poison The feeble attempts hitherto made to utilize our artesian supply in I lonolulu with double wells and small pumps are such as no plantation would tolerate. In so small a scale, of course, the expense is greatly increased. What Honolulu needs is three powerful pumping plants, two miles apart, with six large wells each, to give us all the water we need. At present rates of charge, our plantation experience of cost of pumping proves that the profit would be immense. Away then with foolish talk of great reservoirs All that was studied out in Nuuanu, and dropped many years ago, before ar tesian pumping had been perfected. S. E. It. A JOY NOTE. Aala Chinese Mission is forging ahead under the leadership of Mr. Goo Kirn. It was originally started in 1903, Mr. and Mrs. Iligelow rendering good service during its early days. After these friends left, the burden fell heavily upon Mr. Coo Kirn, whose daughter, Miss Annie Goo Kirn, stood bravely by him. < H course Rev. Mr. Thwing carried at heavy load at all times. 'The school has come to 1111111 ber over So scholars, and 011 April J, the first fruits wen- received into the membership of Fort Street Church Messrs. young Ycc and Vup Sui. The friends of this mission will rejoice in its grow mg influence and success. WAILUKU SOCIAL SETTLEMENT 'The "Alexander I louse" kindergarten and .settlement workers feel much encouraged in their work. 'The daily attendance increases and the results among the neighborhood children and young people are noticeable. The average attendance for the evenings of the last four —. weeks has been A mothers' meeting tin- last of March was a pleasant occasion, and a party given by Miss Avers to her Sunday School class at the Japanese church, was an illustration of tin- loyalty of the children and of the affection one feels for these boys and girls whether in the settlement work or outside spheres. ( )pcn your own private homes to them and share the blessing! Gftat inspiration came with the visit with Misses Fox, Anderson, and Davis of Philadelphia. Miss Fox organized the clubs and classes which developed into the College Settlement of that city, and all three have been associated with the work done there. The evening which they spent with my boyi was very pleasindeed. 'The Maui Free Kindergarten Association meeting, held with Miss Mosser at her kindergarten in Paia, was of interest and help to the Alexander House workers. 'The presence of about fifty, and the great efforts on the part of live from l.ahaina to attend the meeting proves the value of the Association. 'The Alexander I louse has received gifts from Miss Mary Alexander, Miss Fox and Mr. W. \\ Hall during the month. We wish to express our gratitude publicly. L. A. B. ant . CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR ECHOES. There are four English-speaking C. K. Societies iii the Local Union. One of the Honolulu C. E. Societies has adopted a new committee which might be helpful to other societies. It is called the "Visiting Com.," and is made up of the chairmen of the former committees, The visitors call upon tin- sick of their own society and remember them with flowers or fruit. The Central Union C. I-.. Society has completed one-hall of a correspondence course in Christian work, and hopes to derive much benefit from the course. Christian Endeavor is what the name implies a society of those endeavoring to be Christians. 'There is no age limit. If you belong to the above-mentioned class you are needed in C. E. work, and will gain help from associating with other Christian people. Let us rally and take a bold stand. BISHOP POTTER'S DRINK PROBLEM. Crow ell & Co. have added to their popular "What is Worth While Series" a tiny booklet by the famous Bishop of New York, which is sure to meet with a wide leading. If anyone expects to find in this brochure either a defense of the no toriotis subway saloon to which the good llishop's name is indisaolubly linked, or a fresh solution of the drink question, he will be severely disappointed. Dr. Potter is master of a clear, readable style, and states his propositions with the calmness befitting a man of large responsibilities. The book is first of all temperate. It sets forth the incitement to drink supplied by the hard industrial conditions prevalent in great cities, condemns severely such panacea treatment of the evil of intemperance as the advocates of con ititutional prohibition advise, points out the complicated nature of the question and in a general way shows that a solution is to he found only in the faithful, �13 THE FRIEND application of counteracting social forces. The I lisliop pleads for a careful study of the modern saloon in order that the simply which it furnishes for healthful social demands may be understood, lie then indicates that these demands must be met in a fuller and more satisfy- patient ing manner by saloon substitutes before the drink evil can be adequately handled. 'I'o hiil against the saloon for popular pat ronagr and destroy it by underselling, is the gist of the whole matter. Experience in England and Denmark suggest to Dr. Potter that this can be done. It lie had studied Jersey City a little more closely he might have been strengthened in this conviction. In addition to a thorough business campaign of competition with the saloon as a provider of certain social attractions needed by millions of people, the Bishop commends individual effort for the rescue of persons exposed The booklet contains to intemperance. absolutely no new thought or suggestions, but for those who have not kept abreast of the modern anti-saloon movement, it is a very helpful preface to the study of such works as Raymond Calkin's "Substitute for the Saloon" and Rowntrce and Sherw ell's "Temperance Problem and Social Reform." LYMAN ABBOTT'S PERSONALITYOFGOD. This forms the last number of the "What is Worth While Series," and serves as an instructive commentary upon the uiitrustworthincss of much that is printed as news in the A few months ago Mainland press. the most sensational Stuff was u-it graphed the world over branding Dr. .Abbott as having denied the personality of God in an address before the students of Harvard University. What he did say on that occasion is printed here. 'There is absolutely nothing at variance with the most orthodox present day belief in this .simple, beautiful little volume. "Imnianuel." (iod with us. is its message, very helpfully interpreted to the modern man. It is good Lenten reading. If Dr. Abbott makes any mistake and we think he does -it is in a constant reiteration of the assertion that the present day view of the immanence of Cod is "an overthrow of old forms of faith." 'There is nothing either Startling or new in this doctrine of Cod in all and through all, and the only thing that can be claimed for the modern statement of it, is a changed setting and fresh emphasis. Often when a man gets a personal grip uiioii some jrreat truth he thinks of it as new, when in fact it is new only to him. Dr. Abbott seems to us to fall into this This is, however, but a very small failing and detracts not an iota from the splendid service that this apostle of Christian truth has rendered his generation. A vast company of younger disciples the world over acknowledge with deepest gratitude the debt they owe to Dr. Abbott. He has bellied make religion a vital personal matter to thousands, whom he has also stimulated to think out for themselves a rcconcilation of the "old truths"-- truths as old as essential Christianity and present-day thought-environment. error.

We are far more able to do it than our fathers. We are more than a thousand times more numerous than they. We are rich where they were poor. If we should give but a tithe where they gave themselves, we could place a devoted missionary family in every important center, muster fifty evangelists and fifty teachers from Japan for our fifty plantations, station a Chinese preacher wherever needed, send a score TO THE HAWAIIAN or more of the earnest young Hawaiian Christians that Kamehameha is turning BOARD. out to tin- mainland for better theologi- training, and in a dozen years double, is making its annual appeal cal or perhaps quadruple, our church memof the eighty-three churches bership.
