In a spasm of virtue it sustained the Governor's veto of the in famous first liquor bill. Other good deeds lie to its credit.

One of tin- singular things about this Legislature was the attitude of a number of they should mark him for retirement to private life. , The Remedy One great trouble with Hawaii is its nepotism.

That might answer in an island kingdom, but in an aspirant for American Statehood it is hopelessly out of date. Rev. Mr. Wcstervelt at the annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League, hinted at the remedy. It has two parts —first, relentless memory ; second, independent voting. The Civic Federation should as a matter of public service compile can-fully a statement of the record of each legislator, showing exactly how be voted on each measure, make it public now and keep it before the voters just preceding the primary and general elections in the fall of 1906.

RTockheflr Gift The appeal made to Congregational pastors by the ministers who recently requested the American Hoard to refuse the now famous Rockefeller yift of $too.ooo is printed in another column. The discussion pro and con has waxed very hot on the mainland, but it has been uniformly kindly. It is byno means a simple question, as anyone may ascertain who reads both sides It is one of the most serious matters ever presented for discussion to a great branch of the Christian Church; for every periodical dealing in a large way with questions vital to tin- American people during the past year, has em- phasized the terrible danger which threatens the life of tin- nation at the hands of monopolistic wealth. W'hihnot vet quite prepared to say that it is tin- duty of the American Board to refuse this gift, we are Strongly moved by the considerations named in the appended appeal, together with those re centlv made public by Rev. Washington Gladden, D. I)., and those detailed by IV. Bishop ill a subsequent column to side with those who asked the Board to return the $100,000. In this connection we recall a slorv currcntlv reported as true of Mr. W. I. Bryan, twice candidate for the Ires idency. We cannot vouch for its correctness. It was stated that Mr. Bryan, al the close of his term of service in Congress, was approached by the Standard Oil Company and offered $10,000 a vc.ir a S counsel f«u" that cornoratio" in Nebraska. It is well known that this eagle-eyed combination is constantly on the watch for men who can serve its interests, as well as for those who are likely to threaten its nroirress. Mr. Bryan's career at Washington iii'rked him out both as a dangerous foe of monopolies and as a nowerful ally for any corporation able to command Ins talents. Therefore, this glittering bait was held out. But �THE FRIEND. Mr. Bryan preferred to accept a mod- est income of $i_S<x) and be his own master. lie declined the offer. The entire country honored the deed. Now in a certain sense the public gift of $100,000 to a great Christian corporation like the American Hoard, bears analogy to the offer made Mr. Bryan by the Standard < >il Company, because it puts that Hoard at a disadvantage in its influence with reference to the system of which the donor is the creator and the chief exponent. That system is definitely anti-Christian in character while its chief claims to be Christian and naturally desires that his system be not condemned as a violation of Christian principle. To accept the gift and condemn the public life of the giver are not compatible. If Mr. Bryan is to be honored for declining the offer of the Standard Oil Company because it left him free to cast his influence against that company, should not the American Hoard be expected to refuse to place itself ill a position that would stultify any protest it might be called upon to make against a system which threatens our national life? The Hoard con not Ik separated in thought from the men who compose it, and it is safe to say that a large number of those who form the corporation known as the American Hoard would take a stand like that of Mr. Bryan if faced with a proposition similar to that which came to him from the Standard < )il Company. Is it not time for lines lo be sharply drawn upon a question that men aces not only our existence as a free Republic, but which, still worse even than this, threatens un- to dermine the very manhood of tin- nation? When character is at stake, prudential considerations and (|iicstions of ordinary procedure must 1101 control. The whole controversy will be fought out at Seattle next fall. Meantime the constituency of the Hoard has time by prayer and faithful interchange of opinion act as (iod's Spiril to prepare to shall command. 1). S.

On mv first visit to this Territory, four years ago, I had somewhat the of sense being a foreigner. Hut happily I find that passed, at this time, and in its plate a feeling of being to the manner horn. The beauty, novelty and mystery of sky and sea and soil, the riches the solid potentialities of fact, and the determination of everyromance, of thing, including investment, politics and religion, to rainbows, fill the first fortnight of the tenderfoot with new experiences ; but as his vision gets adjusted to the unaccustomed lights and shadows he finds himself confronting here the same old human nature and the same old problems that he has grown ii)) with and into, on the mainland. I had heard at home and have heard here some doleful prophecies about the Islands, both as to the moral and the material outlook, which seem to he foundationless or near it. On the contrary, the situation is not more unique than inspiring in the difficulties it presents. The appeal of Hawaii is to quality, and the field for the high-class man is whitening to the harvest. I am not well enough informed to speak of business matters; but it seems to me that too many men are hunting something easy, rather than something permanent and safe. Diversified farming, I should think, holds out both sure and rich rewards for energetic white men who would get too busyto whine about their laborious and prosperous brother in yellow. There must be a screw loose when a rich region such as this, that was shipping food stuffs to California half a century ago, gets butter, eggs and hay from San Francisco, Hut politically the outlook is big with hope, on the sole condition that This Territory is going good men undertake for Christian civilization. the greatest of object lesor is to be going it straight to Asiatic perdition sons as to the conquering and assimilative power of Christian democracy. At the humble service which underlies all permanent societies, the Asiatic Kiit-works us. He can and will presently outvote us. To put up against that combination a sloppy, bigotted, crooked America, is to invite and facilitate failure. We have just one advantage in that Competition—a vital and up-todate religion. Will our own people show it up in its purity and its strength?—that is the problem. I It has been shown in the case of the natives, and is being shown now, in a remarkable way in the case of the Coreans, that clean and strenuous Christianity brings them quickly and happily to its light and easy yoke; but for a long time after they come under it there must be missionary leadership of gallant, steadfast white men and women, for these new Christians lack moral and social initiative, and fall away for lack of shepherding. 'The same thing is true in the States. 'The lack of nerve and muscle in the leadership is the shame and peril of the voting church ; but the problem is so big there that it is difficult to be seen clearly. 'The key word to the island proposition is righteousness. In that name we shall rule or ruin "the Paradise of the Pacific." Tremendous riches of opportunity and responsibility have fallen to Doremiis Scudder, Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, and W. L. Wadinan, representative of the Methodist Home Missionary Society, and magnificently are they meeting the obligations imposed. I could write something eloquent about 111 v estimate of them, but for the fear of seeming to Hatter men to whom that would surely be offensive, and whom I have come to think of as my good, close friends. 'This simple but most important fact, however, may be and ought to be stated concerning them—that they seem to me such big, broad, cosmopolitan men as to be immune from sectism, and to be working together so that every worker and every dollar poes tin wasted to the spot. Their boards ought to back them with first-class men and women and money, and money enough to manumit them from anxiety as to ways and means. One thing has been a great and disagreeable surprise to me—the apathy and lack of information as to the liquor problem among the best people. Speaking broadly, 1 find no agitation here about the saloon save that provoked by a disgraceful bill that threatened in the present session of the Legislature; and the antidote offered for that is one of remedies long since discredited at home. �6 F THE RIEND. There is but one remedy far the saloon and that is no saloon. 'The various forms and elevations of the license system have no decent Christian following in the States; but Prohibition, on the conscience argument, fortified, of course, by the economic and industrial considerations relatively equal in cogency stands alone, among the intelligent and the Christian voters and agitators. The saloon has to be banished from this Territory as a condition precedent to material prosperity, moral advancement, political statehood, social stability, and victory, and the Christan men must banish it or know themselves for weaklings, who in the nature of things will lose their own sons and daughters from the fold of Christ, if not into the army of the camp followers of legalized vice. A work of surpassing usefulness is opening to the Anti-Saloon League, which is, or ought to be, the Church specialized for political work against the licensing of saloons. Its work is at the very heart of Territorial politics. It ought to know and let the Chritian voters know what is planning or going on in liquor politics, and in regard to violations of the present law, to present to all candidates for the legislature written questions as to their attitude to the licensing of saloons and publish their answers or their failure to answer, to keen the record of every legislator on the liquor problem, and publish it in his favor or against him if he stands for re-election; to conduct an all-thc-year-round campaign of education by newspapers, tracts and public ting in the churches, under direction of the pastors, and to present to every ■ilature a prohibitory law and push it until it passes. The law now is permissive. From now- on, every law proposed or ndment of the existing law, ought to be prohibitory in character. No istian ought to be asked, nor any Christian permit himself, to support a nissive measure. Prohibit the saloon from opening on Sunday, but ?r consent for it to open on any day. Prohibit the saloon from remainopen after say ten ten o'clock at night, but never consent to it being Open 11. Always Prohibition.

JOHN G. WOOLLEY. I THE AMERICAN BOARD AND ROCKEFELLER. The following letter, which speaks for itself, has been sent throughout the country: To the Corporate Members of the American I). Rockefeller, the head of the Standard Oil Company. This Company stands before the public under repeated and recent formidable indictment in specific terms for methods which arc morally iniquitous and To arouse the moral socially destructive. reprobation of the general conscience and to against Specific olfenses and direct it offenders is the supreme need of tlic hour. The Church is the moral educator and leader of the people, and in order to fulfill this calling with freedom and cll'oct it must stand entirely clear of any implication in the evil it is set to condemn. The acceptance of such a gift involves the constituents of the Hoard in a relation implying honor toward the donor, and subjects the Hoard to the charge of ignoring the moral issues involved. We, the undersigned, ministers and members of the Congregational Church, therefore protest against any action by which coir Church may even seem to be compromised, and we plead with the officers Of the Hoard to decline the gift of Mr. Ifock (teller, or to return it if it has been ac- Mr. John Board and the Ministers of Our Congregational Churches.

The Church stands for leadership in moral and spiritual progress. It cannot to enter into any relation that may weaken or discredit it in the f ulli 11 tiicnt of its task. The main question is one of the moral prestige and power of the Church. afford Certain Misconceptions. This principle will guide us to a practical solution of the dillicult ies and perplexities which g-ither about this question. All the confusion arising from the literal use of the figure, "tainted money,'' may lie brushed aside at once. Money is impersonal; it is not tainted and cannot taint, morally. The moral element lies in the men who make and give money and in their method of getting it, and only in relation to these men and their methods can the Church suffer moral dam age. Though their money gained by fraud or force, dribble into our treasuries or pour into il by Hoods, of itself it can tiring no contamination. It is by voluntary relation to the donors that moral responsibility is in curred. With the unknown or unimpeaehed giver, the Church is brought into no such conscious and deliberate relation. No conscience need be offended by the acceptance of his contribution. Neither at the bar of our own moral judgment nor before that of the world can we be held accountable. It follows, therefore, that the refusal of a gift fioai such a source as this in ipicstion docs not imply "investigation of the record of every giver," and this whole practical difficulty, which has been allowed to obstruct our fulfillment of the obvious duty of the moment, falls to the ground as fictitious. The Church owes it to itself and to the public! conscience to acknowledge responsibility when it voluntarily enters into dealings with a donor who stands openly impeached of serious offenses which it is our duty to condemn. No Judicial Tribunal Required. i i It is not required that the Church form a tribunal to pass judgment on personal char aeter or probe into the business methods of all givers. Such examination is not necessary in refusing a gift. Public belief and impression, formed on extensive evidence through a long series of years, furnish sufficient basis for such action. This works no "injustice to an individual" by "singling him out" among others suspected of being "as bad as he." It is not by any act of ours that he is singled out, but by his olTer to us of a gift, and by his own actions which have, already singled him out before the world as a notorious and typical instance of an evil element in national life. Moral Demand Not to be Obscured. However formidable may be the practical difficulties in the way of exercising this io- spousibility, they must not obscure the ethi cal demand. No price" may be set on li" advancement of righteousness, and no lots to be incurred may properly deter one from heroic conduct.

Where we must end is shown by the an swer of the I'rudential Committee. We must .. end in the declaration of complete irrespou sibilitv for the sources from which we accept gifts. Their words are: "The principle on which this policy rests is the belief that our responsibility begins with the receipt of a Before gifts are received the rerift, sponsibility is not ours, but is that of the donors ill their own conscience." Thus they express in a perfectly frank and unmistakable wav t in- principle on which it is atlirmeil that tin- Hoard has acted in the past and pro poses to act in the future. It receives money from any man who oilers it, and will make no inquiry and listen to no evidence concern ing the way in which his money has been acquired, and it leaves itself no freedom to take account of the probable effect upon the Hoard or the Church arising from acceptance of the giftPast Policy. the Church will never It has not done so in The I'rudential Committee say, the past. •The Church in all ages has received upon its altars the gifts of all who were moved to lay them thereon."

Wo cannot acquit ourselves of responsibility m receiving money, for we do produce ■ moral effect. "Money talks," and the Hoard has done much in the past to give it a voice. The religious devotion, the high principles, the self sacrifice of its donors have been con stantly ami justly magnified. Christians at home and converts abroad have been taught to love the men and women who, some out of deep poverty and others out of their wealth, have sent the gospel far and wide. Never again, if the policy announced in this report is maintained, can the Hoard's list of contributors be taken as a roll of piety and honor. we urge the positive principle, in application to this spe cific case. This requires that the representatives of a Christian body be peculiarly sensitive to th ral bearing of gifts of fared, and especially to the social effect aris ing from their acceptance. Kvery high -minded man in the personal conduct of life takes There are some a position similar to this. men with whom he will have no personal relations because he deems them to be com promising, He stands on his honor anil is nobly jealous for his character.

A Christian curporat ion has a character which it may not compro inise by doubtful alliances. Urgency of Present Need, The application of this principle was never so much needed as now. The Church finds it self in danger of losing its moral leadership. It is painfully feeling the estrangement of the common people. It cannot be blind to the growing alienation between those who have and those who have not. It seeks to preserve and strengthen the growing sense of honor apparent among high-minded business men.

The battle is on between forces that are socially destructive and those that seek a finer order of justice and human op portunity. There is no question on which side of this contest the Church should stand. It is necessary for it to be exceedingly jeal ous of anything that may swerve it from its own task. Every act must be avoided that seems to ally the Church with the wrong side, to impede its action or to render its efforts and utterances ineffectual. Cambridge; Philip S.

When the Punahou Athletic Club refused to play in a Sunday baseball schedule, clean sportsmanship was vindicated in this town. Money and "muckerisms" are correspondingly depressed. The term "mucker" is perfectly intelligible to an eastern man, —it stands for a quite distinct stale of things, and no one needs any definition. For example, Sunday hasehall is "mucker" baseball, —always and inevitably,—do you see? There are several results of "mucker" basehall : one of the earliest symptoms oi "mtickcrism" in sports is money ; the last is death,—that is, locally and temporarily.

Raise ye the song of triumph I Sing as ye battle for right; Follow the steps of the fathers They win, who sing while they fight. Raise ye the song of triumph I Sing through the darkness of night; So won the fathers their battles, Singing while God lent his might. Raise ye the song of triumph! Turns now the tide for the right; Follow the steps of the fathers, Follow—and Ood will send light. "Not for a day, but for all time." If Father Bingham could have looked upon the scene under the grand old trees of Punahou when his memorial was unveiled yesterday afternoon; If he could have seen the gaily clad women and brave men, the fair and fair haired boys and girls who gathered there where once had stood hts humble home; If he could have marked them still treading, as their fathers and mothers trod, the path that leads to high and noble living in the sight of the children of the darker races who bravely hold the road beside them; surely he would have felt that the work of his hands had not been for a day but for all time. And who is to say that the kindly shade was not permitted to look for a moment upon the fruition of the labors of a life given with noble singleness of purpose to the uplifting of the lives of men? Assuredly, the spirit of the work of Father Bingham, and of hts companions who gave their lives as he did, was In the inspiration of that scene of April 19. The missionaries suffered much In the devotion which led them to come from their homes on the bleak shores of New England to bring enlightenment and salvation to the dusky children of these tropic islands, much in the hardships of the life that they chose, much in the contumely that was heaped upon them by men who purposely misconstrued their motives and misrepresented their acts tor the purposes of evil. Satan was busy In that early time, as he has been busy since, and he chose his most powerful instruments, aa God did, from among the children of the dominant race. The missionaries marched on, gloriously triumphant to the work that It came to them to do —and their children have kept in the forefront of all that great work of progress and enlightenment that good men perform for the regeneration of mankind. It is not, when all is said, to the missionaries nor to the sons of missionaries that the powers of evil look for the telligence. darkening of human in- They spread the light. And In the work that he founded at the humble home upon whose site his memorial now stands, Father Bingham kindled on his own hearthstone a fire whose rays shall reach as far as the age will run. It is a light that will grow stronger and stronger as the years go on, Its radiance burning in the light of young in- Punahou, in telligence and finding its fullest (ires in the brains of active men and women empowered by the magic of It to do the world's work. Father Hiram Ringham, the first missionary to land on the island of Oahu, received from the chiefs permission to stay but one year to do the work of God in these heathen islands. The chiefs proposed and the Master of all disposed. In nine years after he had landed. Father Ringham had won the good will of the great chief Hoki, though that chief never embraced Christianity, and it was to the generosity of Hoki that the Father owed the gift of the tract of land that is now the endowment of Punahou College. Where the memorial boulder was unveiled to him yesterday afternoon, Father Bingham built his home on the island. There, where the smoke of his hearth floated to heaven the holiest Incense that men burn, he dedicated the lands given him by Boki to the cause of Christian education for all time—and from the inspiration born of that Incense of the Christian home has come all the power for good that has marked the establishment and successful continuance of Oahu College on educational lines characterized by Christian education, and the building of character. There the children of the missionaries and the children of the native race have been trained together, and have g-one out together to the noble battle all good men wage to death —and beyond that. For the Influence of the good that men do lives after them. Under the trees that dot the campus of Punahou, Just Walkiki of the main building of the college, was the spot where the Hingham home stood, and here the boulder with its inscription plate stood yesterday, modestly veiled in the American colors, the flag that Father Hingham loved. He had come from the shelter of that flag, long ago. crossing the stormy waters to bring light. His sons see that flag flying now in the light that he brought. Above the veiled stone the college colors floated, looking very beautiful against the foliage of the royal palms and kiavve, and upon a stand behind the stone were chairs arranged for descendant! of the missionaries who were to take part in the unveiling, and for the trustees of the college. In front, upon the shaded _!_■, chairs wore placed for spectators, and these filled up rapidly. Ry 4 o'clock, the time set for the beginning of the ceremonies, every chair was occupied, and there was a fringe of men and women and college hoys and girls behind the chairs, and still behind Ihese a row of carriage, tilled with interested spectators of the scene. Presently, the Joyous voices of children arose In song, and from somewhere behind the platform came the descendants of the missionaries, two and two, and the college officials, and took their places on the platform. It was fitting, that men and women of the blood of the missionaries should take the lead In the ceremonial of the day. The triumph of the fathers was their triumph. It is their labor today to complete the perfect work the fathers began. And it was most fitting of all that a son of Father Bingham, the Rev. Hiram Ringham of today, should have been there to unveil the memorial. A few minutes after 4 o'clock the band began to play "Old 'Hundred" and the speakers, trustees and others to form. The seats had been arranged at the makai end of the dais facing the flag-draped stone. Those who had places on the platform were President A. P. Griffiths of Oahu College, Dr. Hiram Ringham, Mrs. Lydia Ringham Ooan, Judge S. R. Dole, Hon. P. O. Jones, Rev. S. E. Hishop, W. R. Castle, Esq., [_ A. Thurston, Esq., Rev. O. H. Gulick, Mr. A. F. Judd. Mr. Clarence Cooke. Mr. Wm. Rabbitt, Prof. W. D. Alexander. At the conclusion of the doxology the venerable Rev. S. E. Rishop, the oldest living male descendant of the missionaries, offered prayer. After the prayer a large chorus under the direction of Miss Caroline Castle sang the grand old hymn "Head of the Church Triumphant" which was sung at the ordination of Father Ringham and Father Thurston at Goshen, then at the farewell service In the Park St. �THE FRIEND Church in Boston and later sung by both men as they stood on the maintop of the Thaddeus under the lee of Hawaii's shore. The hymn is as follows: Head of the church triumphant, We Joyfully adore Thee; Till Thou appear, Thy members here Shall sing like those In glory. We lift our hearts and voices. In blest anticipation, And cry aloud, and give to God The praise of our salvation. While in affliction's furnace. And passing through the fire, Thy love we praise, that knows our days. And ever brings us nigher. We lift our hands exulting In Thine almighty favor; The love divine, that made us Thine. Shall keep us Thine forever. ADDRESS BY REV. O. H. GULICK. The first address was read by Rev. 11. 11. Gulick, the oldest living I'unahnu student. He spoke as follows: in l'l.o, the navigator Magellan, coming through th,. straits which now hear his name, discovered the vat expanse of waters which received from him the name Pacific Ocean. One hundred years later, in 1610, the Pilgrim fathers crossed the Atlantic, and landing at Plymouth, laid the foundations for a Christian state and nation, which now spans the continent. Two hundred years still later, In a bund of missionaries from .New England landed on there Hawaiian Islands, and began those labors for a savage people, which within three generations have in :i good degree fitted the islanders to become citizens of this great Christian nation. These missionaries received most efficient help in their labor of love, from the regent Kaahumanu. and from sev eral other of the high "hiefs. and from -oine of the common people, who proved eloquent and effective preachers of faith in the newly proclaimed Savior of mankind. Some of these shall live forever as stars in the firmament, as those who hav c turned many to right- eousness. Three names not of missionary pro- fession, of those who contributed largely and efficiently to the development of the Hawaiian people, and the upbuilding of Oahu College, may here And fitting mention; Mr. James Hunne well, a merchant prince of Boston. Judge William L. Lee of Western New York, and the boon companion of his youth, Mr. Charles I!. Bishop, of matchless bounty, and faithful love for Hawaii. Father Alexander, Rev. W. P. Alexander, was once asked what Justification could a missionary give for spending his life in converting the people of a small island community when there remained continents of unenlightened millions. He replied that a farm of a few acres was all that one man 9 could cultivate, and the small farm might be as valuable On an island as on a continent. Geographical position has much to do with the development of a nation. and the history of the world Indicates the greater comparative Importance Of island empires when contrasted with continental empires, witness ihe power of the British empire ai compared with other European nations, or Japan with any of the nations of continental Asia. The early settlers of New England came hilo the possession of barren hiils j an Inhospitable climate, and ■ rocky soil.

The transformation Of t lie race, and of the condition of the people cannot be fully estimated by one who lias not known heathenism in Its hopeless degradation and darkness. The transformation exceeds the power of huniau language lation to represent. Eighty-five years from the landing of Ihe pioneer hand, we are here today to unveil a tablet to the memory of one of the two leading men of that honored hand. The son of one, and the grandson of the other, are here to participate "Childin the interesting ceremony. ion's children are the crown of old men, and Ihe glory of children are their fully futhers." Let us for a moment consider the character of these fathers and of those who Joined them in the holy purpos of redeeming and lifting to a plane of Christian life the then dark people. ('onseciation, a loving devotion to the good of the people, was the crowning source of a unity, evident at every general meeting of the Mission. This devotion to a lofty purpose, and their unity of heart and action, were the open -ecrets of their grand success. Theirs was a pure democracy tempered by advice from the far distant American Hoard, representative of the supporting churches. These fathers were "men of like passions as we are," and of like fallings, but firmly united in the loftiest purposes that can Inspire human life. They constituted among themselves an indissoluble brotherhood; and the most valuable legacy they left to their children was a like fellowship and confidence in each other. This bond recognized by the circle of children survived undimmed years of wide separation from one another, while scattered far from their island home In the father land. This warm fellowship of the children • of th,. llrst generation took on the form of cousinhood. and assumed organic union under the name of the Hawaiian Mis-ion Children's Society. This unique circle while wholly destitute of political purpose, neither guided by literary nor social ambitions, constituted a bond and helped to foster love and confidence in one another. This bond of mutual love, cnhflileiicc and respect, enabled the Hawaiian government amid scenes of Rivni discord ami threatened anarchy, to hold on its even way through the troubled seven years 0. the Provisional Government and of the Hawaiian Republic, till the group was received under the sheltering wings of the Great Republic. Our fathers builded better than they knew. Trusting in (iod they faltered not. Their brightest visions, their nio>t careful observations of Hie dusty, barren plain which stretched from Honolulu to the green oasis of Punahou spring, would never have pictured the emerald gardens, the peaceful Christian hollies, the playing fountains, the velvet grass, beautiful dowers and rich fruit -hat tills all the plain.

Rlessed shall we be if we possess the heroic devotion, the unselfish purpose, and the abiding faith of that generation of Christian workers; the faith to sow the seed and leave the rest to the Reaper, We may know as little as did our fathers of the purposes of the Lord of the harvest. Mighty problems unsolved lie all about us, problems as great and as interesting as met our fathers when Ihey drew to these jcoral bound shores. Hike them we labor on as seeing the invisible, we shall like them gather in the sheaves in the ripening of our seed sowing in the world yet to be. Like Magellan we boldly enter the unknown, uncharted, mighty Pacific Ocean of the future. Like those who drew buckets of water to sustain the drooping life, we shall find the everlasting flowing artesian fountains of the deeper eternal life. Then may it be said of v«, as we can truly say of our fathers and mothers These are they who, "Through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions," and received their dead raised to spiritual life. - �THE FRIEND 10 MEMORIAL ODE was a treeless, waterless, dusty of grass bouses, inhabited by breach-clouted savages who bad never seen a white woman and scarcely seen a white man whose morals were not worse than their own, If such a thing were possible.

When, forever, shadows flee, Might my morning break with ADDRESS OF LORRIN A. TON. thee. THURS- l-orrln A. Thurston, Esq., a grandwin of Father Hlngliam's co-worker. Rev. Asa Thurston, followed with an address about missionary experiences. Mr. Thurston spoke as follows: Some men are remembered for what they have said; others for what they have done. What Hiram Hingham said, has already passed from the memory of all but a few. What he did, will stand as a monument to his memory ns long as old Rock Hill stands sentinel over the scene of his work. The simple rock which we are today dedicating to his memory—a rock gathered from the fields which he gave to Punahou—ls typical of the man whom It commemorates and of the other men and women who consecrated themselves to the service of God and their fellow-men, In the days when Hawaii was literally at the ends of the earth; when the only means of travel and communication were by the chance whaler or the tramp trader, around Cape Horn; when malls came but once or twice a year; when Hono- livened the home with sometimes discouraging delightful regularity. but Whole families of missionary chil- dren were raised On sweet potatoes and goat's milk. Flour was a tidbit which generally bad to be broken up with a hammer, and sifted to separate it from live stock before It was used. Beef was a rare dainty of the rugged variety known to sailors as "salt horse." and the family sat in the yard to avoid the fumes while It was being cooked. Journeys were made On toot over rough and rocky foot trails for no other roads existed. Voyages between the islands were made In canoes or sloops and schooners so small and nl' such poor construction that It took days ami even weeks to get from one Island to the other; and these were so crowded with people, pigs and dogs that there was scarce room to lie down on deck. The cabins were unspeakable caverns, the home of crawling and Jumping and Hying things, and blackened with the fumes of bilge water and rank tobacco. These are a few of the high lights in the Uvea of the early Hawaiian missionaries. Meanwhile what were they doing? They were doing practically everything thnt makes a difference between morality and Immorality; between savagery and civilization; lawlessness and law; Ignorance and knowledge; between pa- and Christianity. They created among people who had known no morals but their own sensuous Inclinations; they created laws for the protection of private rights and property, where the unrestrained will of the King and high chief had been the only authority; they created a written language, translated the books, scriptures, published school laws, newspapers; taught the people to read, to write, to build, to dress, to work; they preached and prayed and taught and worked incessantly, and, more effective than all, they lived their profession. They did not give money. for they had no money to give; but they gave themselves to the cause to which they had dedicated their lives. Indicative of this oneness of purpose, is the fact that when chief Hoki, in appreciation of the public services of Hiram Bingham, gave him the land Of Punahou, the latter Instead of keeping It for Jilmself and his heirs, ns he was entitled to do, dedicated It, without ganism a moral standard for all time, to Ihe cause of education In Hawaii. "Greater love hath no man than this. that he give Ills life for his friends," salth the scripture. Croatcr love than this had Hiram Bingham, for he gave his life for those who were not his friends, and ills substance to those who were unborn "It Is not enough to believe In (lod. One must believe in man, In humanity and Its future," says Charles Wagner. Hiram Bingham believed in Ood, in man and in humanity and he lived and aCted his beliefs. -our We cannot do what he did. ways are not bis ways, but the Journey's end remains in truth the same." "It Is always the pole star that reserve, Christian guides the seamun. whether be cruise under sail or on a steamship." the other Father Hiiighnm and strong, simple men and women who laid the foundations of peace, progress and prosperity In Hawaii, have passed on over the road which we all must follow; but the pole star of their lives survives. Many of those present today have directly reaped the benefits of those early days of privation and devotion to duty. All of us have done so Indirectly. Hiram Hingham laid a foundation as solid ns the grand mountains which look down upon us; a foundation which will last as long as the trade winds blow across Manoa and the surf beats on the beach at Walklkl. The generation which Is still passing, has begun well the superstructure. Punahou lias been, and Is, the center of a radiating Influence which tends to the uplifting of Haw-all and Ihe right living of Its people. It is the duty and the privilege of those of us who have profited by the work and generosity of those who have gone before, to perpetuate the broad and generous spirit In which the foundations of Punahou were laid and in which It has since been carried on. Let us then so act as to demonstrate to our successors that we believe, and to encourage them to believe, in Hod, In man, In humanity and its future. Following Mr. Thurston's address a double trio consisting of Miss C. Y. Hall, Miss Julia Damon, Miss K. M. Damon, Mrs. C, It. Damon, Miss H. A. Austin. Miss A. K. Judd, sang "To Earth Fair Winds Are Bringing." Miss Ethel Andrews played a violin obllgato. JUDGE DOLE'S ADDRESS. Judge Sanfor.l B, Dole was next in- troduced and spoke of the early days at Punahou and the spirit and aim of the Institution. Judge Dole Is the son of the first principal of Punahou. His remarks were as follows: The surroundings of this place have much since I was a child. I used to come out of the end door there of Dole Hall and pass by the changed very place where we are now standing, on �THE FRIEND my way to the old bathing pond. I am one of those who remember the old Bingham House. There wag a later annex adjoining it on the west which was inhabited by native servants of Punahou. The original Ringham house was then out of repair and uninhabited. I remember Mr. Gulick, who was one of the big boys at thut time, when I was a toddling child, because he was always kind to nic and always welcomed me to his room,—he and his brother Charles. Professor Alexander was also one of the large boys that I remember; almost all the Mission families were represented In the school. The purpose- of Punahou was an allaround education —body, mind and spirit. The ideal was high; the pupils were put on I heir honor in some things. For Instance, I remember the dining room, situated in the middle wing of the old courts. The buildings were mostly of one story with narrow verandas and low eaves, not more than seven or eight feet above the floor. From these eaves on the west side of the dining room were hung a row of bunches of bananas which were raised among the taro patches below the spring. My Impression is that these bananas were never taken by any of the pupils. I never beard of any complaints or talk about such a thing. Some time afterwards, for some reason or other, possibly for convenience or perhaps because the sense of honor of some of the pupils had become relaxed, they were locked up In the store room. After I had been away from Punahou for some years, I spent a school year here, during Which time It became known to me that several of the more enterprising boys of the school, having by some diplomacy obtained a loan of the key of this room from one of the girls who had duties there, bad made a mould from It and a duplicate key, returning the original. And thereafter, from time to time, they organized midnight raids on this store room, when not only bananas but other luxuries were apand yet they conducted these enterprises with such discretion and self-control that it never became known that the school authorities missed anything. This shows the difference between the power of a sense of honor and that of locks and keys. When Roki gave Punahou to Mr. Hingham he gave It to the right man, but he did not probably Imagine what he was doing for education In Hawaii and for the benefit of his country. If he had given It to the wrong man, Punahou would have existed under another name, perhaps on the slopes of Punchbowl or somewhere else in the suburbs of Honolulu and might at this time be merely holding Its own, while the Punahou grounds would be at the present time cut up Into house lots. Hut this gift, passed over by Mr. Bingham to the cause of education, has been a liberal endowment of the Inpropriated, stltution which has been a prominent reason of its successful growth. I do not like to brag—l don't often have as good an opportunity as this to brag about Punahou. At any rate, I think It Is reasonable for me on this occasion to refer to the work done by Punahou boys and girls In different parts of the world. Like the Punahou spring with its perennial How of pure and life-giving water, the stream of influence In the direction of civilization and humanity has flowed from Punahou as Its source refreshing thirsty places all over the world. Pupils from Punahou fought In the battles of the American Civil War. They have done great work In education In AmerTh.-y have promoted human ica. progress in Spain, in Turkey, in South America, in China, Japan and the Pacific Islands. They have done this work with the spirit of Sacrifice. They have put their shoulders to the wheels of progress und caused them to move, and this work they have done largely because of the training which they received and the Influence which Inspired them during their stay ut Punahou. The object of the Punahou educution Is character—the training of the body by exercise, the training of the mind by exercise and the development of the spirit by exercise, suggestion nnd example. Next to the paramount object of education, the development of the right attitude of the spirit toward life, there come two other qualities to be sought in the development of such a character as will enable one to meet the world with all Its uncertainties and possibilities. You know how n cat, falling from a height or thrown Into the air, always lands on Its feet. There are persons who, If overwhelmed by disaster,—loss of health, wealth, friends, loss of official position, or even succumbing to temptation, they land on their feet like a cat, alert and ready for the next thing that life has for them whether It be a new calamity or an opportunity by which they may retrieve their fortunes. This trait gives one an advantage in life; It is the unconquerable soul that Henry speaks of In his verse,—the quality which keeps one from being discouraged or cast down,—of giving up In despair whatever may happen. The other trait Is akin to this or perhaps Is a different manifestation of the same thing. It Is the quality by which one tends to take the Initiative. You girls and boys know all about this. You know how you admire and look up to those among you who are always taking the lead in your games or entertainments or expeditions or It may be In your mischievous pranks and how willingly you follow them. You may have good morals, be brilliant scholars, be kindhearted and good athletes, yet If you have not this quality of taking the Initiative, you will find yourselves at a disadvantage In life. You will not be useless. You may be In the rank and file of the great army of progress 11 where you will obey orders and be of service, but you cannot lead or control men or exert the wide Influence without this quality that you can with It. These two traits which I have referred to I submit to you, Mr. President, as the chief objects of education next to the spiritual development In the past, and I feel should be still more emphasized In the future. ADDRESS OF REV. HIRAM BING HAM. A tumult of applause greeted Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham, son of the great missionary, as he rose to make the address before the unveiling of the tablet. Dr. Ringham read his address in a clear voice which trembled with emotion as he paid a beautiful tribute to his father and mother. He suld: In the Commercial Advertiser of July H, INST, nearly eight years ago, appeared an editorial paragraph, a portion of which read as follows: "The trustees of Oahu College propoe to set up a memorial In memory of the late Rev. Illram Hingham, first missionary on the Island of Oahu, and a benefactor of the college. The trustees will select a large boulder and place It In position as nearly as possible on the spot where Mr. Hingham's house originally stood. One fuce of the rock will be trimmed off to receive a suitable Inscription." This plan, let It be remembered, was originated by a very appreciative former President of Oahu College, Mr. F. A. Hosmer; but, much to his regret. It was not fully executed before his departure. The exact sile of (he cottage his sin c then been discovered by the unearthing of the foundation of the southern corner, and now, after the lapse of five years, the present President, without any solicitation or suggestion on my part, has nobly come to the rescue, and ex-President Hosmer's cherished plan has been successfully carried out, greatly, of course, to my Joy; and we nre here today to dedicate this memorial, and to witness to our belief In the propriety and usefulness of the same. Hecau--e of my very near relationship to the man whom we today delight to honor, It would be my decided preference to be entirely In the background, but I remember the command first uttered on Mount Sinai, and reiterated by the Christ whom I serve, viz: "Honor thy father and thy mother," so I have. at the especial request of President Griffiths of Oahu College, with much diffidence consented to assist in the exercises of this hour set npnrt to formally perpetuate the memory of one a* the historic deeds of my honored father, a benefactor of theie Islands, who with his wife and his missionary associates, Samuel Whitney and Samuel Ruggles, teachers, Kllsha Loomls, printer, Daniel Chamberlain, farmer, and their wives, a pioneer band of missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, landed on this shore April 19, 1820, Just eighty-five �THE FRIEND 12 yeors ago today, to Introduce the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a heathen people who had for many generations groped In deep darkness nnd gross superstition. Rev. Asa Thurston nnd Dr. Thomas Holman with their wives had beer, landed -even day*. bef'»re at Knilua on Hawaii. To me has been kindly and thoughtfully assigned the simple but delightful ceremony of unveiling this memorial to your view; but previous to my so doing let m,. briefly but freely speak unto you of one of the Apostles to Hawaii. Having rei eived the reluctant permission of Kuinehamehii 11. to spend one year with his missionary associate < in these Islands, Mr. Ringham earnestly began to Win the confidence of the high chiefs and their people, which Confidence he never afterward forfeited. He began at once to learn their language, lo aid ill reducing It to willing, and to establish schools among the people. His wife, my sainted mother, Sybil Moseley Hingham, opened the first school In this city In May, 1820, surely an historic date. It was my father's privilege to prepare the first manuscript for the llrst printing ever done on these shores. In bis "History of the Sandwich Is- lands" he says,"On the 7th of January, 15.2, | year nnd eight months from the time of our receiving the governmental permission to enter the field and teach the people, We commenced printing the language, ln order to give them letters, libraries, and the living oracles ln their might own tongue, that the nation cad and understand the wonderful works of God." nnd he adds, "It was like laying a corner-stone of an Important edifice for the nation." For eighteen years thereafter he continued, as other duties would permit, to furnish material for the printed page, to per- form the duties of the literary head of the mis ion press ln Honolulu and to aid In the promotion of Christian education. Time would full me to indicate the amount of Christian literature he prepared for the press, or the number and character of the schools which h e unceasingly labored to establish. When he first arrived at Honolulu Bokl, the governor of Oahu, was at a distant part of the Island, but, being apprised of the arrival of the mis binaries and of their design, two days The later he returned to Honolulu. historian says of him, "He was then so much under the debasing and distracting influence of strong drink as to be unfit for business except that of a speedy reformation, to which our business would call him." On one occasion, some three months later, this young Governor Rokl came to my father at the close of the public worship to make some Inquiries about the sermon on the text, "Behold the Lainh of God which taketh away the sin of the world," and expressed a wish to be able to read and understand the Bible, and consented to be daily instructed ln It. Nine years later he gave to his beloved teacher this land of Punahou and stretching from the summit of Round Top to King Including Rocky Hill streetf supplemented by fish-pounds, flats, all more or This gift was made In salt-beds, and coral less valuable. IX.it, the year in which Bokl sailed away to the South Seas on his fatal expedition. He had never united with Ihe church, still clinging more or less to his cups, but he appreciated the faithfulness of his instructor and no one can doubt that if he could be pre-ent with us today and behold what our eyes behold on this campus he would exclaim "Nani loa," and greatly rejoice that through his magnificent gift to his teacher the way had been opened whereby his native land had been for so many years blessed with such a Christian institution of learning as Is Oahu College? His «lft Is witness to his sincere gratitude that there had come to his people those who had labored faithfully to Introduce and maintain Christian education and culture among them, and to do them good. Would that he had personally profited more by the faithful Instruction given him. Let not his grateful liberality be forgotten so long as this Institution shall stand. Such I doubt not, would he the sincere wish of my father. Hut v\e are here today e-pei tally to honor the nume of Hiram Ringham, and so 1 appropriately ask, what would be his emotions if he could appear among us at this hour, after nearly slxly-ilve years of absence, twentynine of them spent In straitened circumstances before he went to gloiy and contra.lt what his eyes beheld In August, IS4O (when he took his final leave of this spot of blessed memory, and looked out for the last time from the maknl door of the humble cottage which stood Just where this memorial stands), with what he would now behold, this campus of a noble college, with Its sightly, convenient and wellequipped structures, thronged with students largely Anglo-Saxon, but Including Hawailans and Asiatics cared for by a noble corps of Christian teachers, the President and his associates, and Its Hoard of Trustees, made up of Christian representative men of Honolulu? What, I say, would be his emotions? Methinks his breast would swell with honest pride, his heart beat with sincere gratitude to God that he had given him the opportunity and the Inclination to make such disposition of whatever portion of Oahu's soil he owned in a way that should greatly lend to secure the permanence of christian education and the building up of the Redeemer's kingdom in this Paradise of the Pacific, ln this city of the sea, now under the Stars and Stripes, facing so conspicuously the great empires of China and Japan, the Philippines and the East Indies. Do you think that I would not spring to take him by the hand and congratulate him, and tell him how glad I was, how proud, to look out upon the many acres of this beautiful campus and remember how he was the man who so willingly consecrated them for all time to the furtherance of Christian education and had thus virtually done what he could to repel the foul and oft repeated slander that the missionaries earn,, lo these Islands to take and did take fioin the poor natives their lands for their own personal and selfish aggrandizement? Before I close you will hear with me In my folly. It is not expedient for I will come to nit- doubtless to glory. visions, not of the future, but of the past, Just a few reminiscences of an old man. Punahou cottage, once my home, where the precious mother cherished her little ones. "Backward, turn backward, O Time, ln Dear home, sweet your flight. Make me a child again Just for tonight. Mother, come hack from tlie echoless shore. Take me again to your heart as of yore." Teach me again, as once you did, on this very spot lo lisp Ihe name of Jesus. Point out to me again tile lilies of the valley growing by Ihe side of this cottage, and lead me again to associate them with the name of Ihe meek .mil lowly Teacher who declared himself to bo "the Rose of Sharon and the Idly of the Valley." "Mother, dear mother! the years have been long Since I last hushed to your lullaby song; I'ome from the silence so long and so deep; Koch me to -leep, mother, rock me to sleep." It was never my privilege to be a the Punahou Mission School but I can well remember how In summer days, when the heut was great and we were wont, for a change, to dwell in the humble cottage which stood here, an older sister and myself used to start out on foot to cross the dusty and arid plain two miles to Kawaiahao to attend the little niL-slon school held ln Dr. Judd's back yard, the germ Memory goes back of this college. sixty-six years to the delights of this refreshing spot, where, after the long weary walks of the day, I was wont to meet a mother's welcome, and to refresh myself, not in this magnificent bathing tank so near at hand, but ln an artificial pond originally constructed by my father for purpo<es of Irrigation, but since then used by many generations of students as a place for bathing. It was Just over there, only a few rods away and fed from the same spring as the bathing tank of today. 1 remember with what delight I used to paddle about in my boat, only a box, in a tlsh pond close lo the spring. I remember how 1 was wont to stroll in the cool shadbjr spots so romantic to me In childhood among the banana trees which grew by the side of the pupil at �THE FRIEND taro patches; how ln this cottage we Children eagerly listened to the reading of "the Hollo Hooks" when they first appeared, and bow we rejoiced over the toys as one by one they were taken from the box just arrived from around Cape Horn. Finally, 1 remember how, in a neighboring shady grove, Just a few yards niakai of this cottage, not long before we went forth from it (was it prophetic?), 1 tried to >lng with my sister the anthem "Daughter of Zion, awake (rota thy sadness," which we had beard sung by the choir In the old Bethel on King street. Those were happy days, but they are forever gone. I would not have them back. It Is enough for me, full enough that I have the memory of them; that in my old age I hear the merry voices of the rising student generations as after school hours of faithful study they gleefully roam this campus, seeking rest and recreation; and so long "One is ,l- their motto virtually is, your Master, even the Christ," my heart will to the last, heat with Joy at the remembrance of the gift of my father and the continued prosperity of Oahu College. In your walks through these shady avenues, kind friends, will you not once and again linger a moment here to reread lllis inscription (which I now unveil) and call to mind the labors of love which my dear father put forth in this city for the redemption of Haw-all, and his parting gift, I'unahou? THE TABLET UNVEILED. At the conclusion of Dr. Bingham's address he stepped to the llag-covi red tablet and untied the cord holding the Hags in place.

I had the privilege the other day of reading the will of a gentleman—a privilege which Is not usual—and I saw there that $10,000 were to be given to Punahou when the testator died. I hope that, if he is here, he will make up his mind to give it before he dies. Mr. Dole has said to you that Punahou boys usually land on their feet. I would like to give a little reminiscence before we go. Judge Dole has told about the old times and although I do not remember as far back M that, I remember when Mr. Dole was fifteen years old—l remember It because I am six years older than he Is. At one of the usual church socials held ln town, Judge Dole, who wits a Punahou boy at that time, stored away so much cake and coffee as to leave the Impression that there was no cake and coffee on the Punahou bill-of-fare In those P. C. JONES'S REMARKS. After the band had played "The PilChorus" from Tannhauser Mr. P. C. Jones made a short address which was not on the printed program but which nevertheless caused great enthusiasm as |t meant that the two new dormitories planned to take the place of the present buildings which are both antiquated anil crowded are assured. Mr Jones's remarks were as follows: Friends, it a meeting of Trustees held last week, plans were submitted for a new dormitory. There are two of three in contemplation now—two dormitories and a common dining and living hull—a building similar to Ringham Hull. The only thing lacking Is funds. Fortunately and very happily, just as 1 was (inning out here :l gentleman banded nio a most pleasing letter telling of his desire to contribute $.0,000 to Punahou for himself and his wife, both of Whom Wei,, former pupils of this college.

If the Missionary lioard of the Congregational Churches of America accepts the donation of Mr. Rockefeller, they become thereby practically debarred from denouncing his evil and oppressive business methods. They become practically muzzled. We already see, in most of the advocates of acceptance the tendency to apologize for the donor, to minimize the evil of his conduct, to tell of the injustice of condemning him. If we mistake not, Chicago University is completely and soundly muzzled by this able man the great and noble Baptist church is so muzzled, and now for the sake of half a day's income from him, it is proposed that' our dear old Congregational church clap on his muzzle. May that S. I'.. 1!. dishonor be averted. ; REPUBLIH CANSM AWAII. An Account of Stock. Of course we can only take it parnow. It is not a bad time though. Here is a Republican legislature just in the act of cashing up. It has delivered its goods,—all the goods it had,—and a fine line of "bads," besides whole trunks full of samples. It was well nigh "straight goods," too, straight Republican. They said we would like it straight; the party managers said this, and everybody fell over his neighbor in ecstacy at the glorious victory when we go it "straight." I low do we like it now we have got it? The farmer said when he ate a banana for the first time, —skin and all, (straight, you see) —"It may be good, but it ain't so dern good." Now, honestly, do you think a Home tially just — Rule Legislature would have been worse? It might have done more "fool" things, but dare you affirm that it would have attempted the vicious things planned and at least partly carried out by this "straight" Republican Legislature ? I trow not. Here's some stock: A Sunday bill in the interests of rowdyism and against those of labor, and opposed to the conscience of the community at large,—at violence with the traditions of these Islands and the wishes of those who still hold a moral mortgage on these Islands. Then there's the quite totally bad liquor bill, which the Legislature actually passed,—out of spite, or some other equally infernal reason. The Governor, with his veto constantly unlimbered for action, was what saved the day,—or as much of it as could be saved by a (iovernor with a backbone. By the way, do you remember that you party managers told us, when you urged us to vote the "straight" ticket, that the (iovernor could control the bunch after they were elected? He couldn't, could he? We didn't see anyone who could, when some agitation in town developed the fact that control would be a good thing. People were actually hunting around to see what strings the party managers had on some of these "straight" ticket fellows. If they had 'em they didn't pull them. Here's another remnant,—the Coun- ty Bill. At present writing we tax payers don't feel sure whether we will haveto let the (tther man own our property or not. It would be obviously cheaper, for we can't all get the jobs there are in this thing. Perhaps the (lovernor or the Supreme Court will save us there. Small thanks to the Legislature, however. "Their constituency wanted this County Bill ?" They may have done so once, but it was before they knew the price. What a sensible constituency wants most is a representative with sense enough to change his mind if need be, but at least to save the community against itself. There are other "goods," there is oil, —and whatnot. Of course, this is no inventory. There may be some bargains. But if the whole thing is put up at auction we hardly think we will bid much. As for goods marked "straight," we've sized them up. It's a bad brand. The word "crooked" would be fairer, and we're not buying again. Look here, you Republican jobbers, we've done business with you for a long time, but if you want our business you have got to put up better stuff. We are going into the market the next time, and will "turn you down" without a scruple if you don't have the very best thing there is to be had. Some day there may be enough of us to make you take do'.wn your sign unless you heed. Anyway, we will not hesitate to buy elsewhere, for Despite cheap imitations,—innum- — erable impositions and sharp practices in America, the American people probably want good goods. T. R. ENDEAVOR NOTES. . In the present movement revival there is ample need of workers, young and old, rich and j)oor The more ex- perienced workers need the enthusi asm that younger workers can supply and the young workers need the aid of experienced laborers. What a glorious work may be accomplished if all work, hand in hand, heart to heart! In this campaign the aim is to reach the hearts of the young. Who can have more influence over these young people, who have not yet realized the beautiful soul Gotf has designed for them, than their companions, their friends? Ought not those who are endeavoring to be Christians, the Christian Endcavorcrs, to use their influence to bring their non-Christian friends to a realization of the beautiful soul that lies within, as yet latent, to the beauty of possibilities within it? At a recent meeting several Endeavorera publically expressed their willingness to do whatsoever Christ would have them do. Are there not more who arc willing? There is a call for troops to fight a mighty enemy. If none but former soldiers enlist, our army will be defeated. In the enemy's ranks are welldrilled, men, whose well-armed strength has not been undermined, and who are still in the heyday of youth. Can not the Christian army boast of lu-r valiant young men and Helpful young women ? Experienced officers who have been long enlisted in His service, or who have led armies before, are needed as generals, but without earnest, zealous young soldiers in the rank and file, leaders alone are powerless. Let us then, Endeavorers, be as loyal to our king, Christ, as soldiers are to serve their earthly king, and let us stand together armed with the "sword of the Spirit, the helmet of Salvation, and the breast-plate of Righteousness," and do valiant battle for the "King of Kings." In Central Union Christian Society, each member of the Society is present cd with a packet of envelopes, one for each month of the year, and the amount placed in the January envelope is the minimum sum you pledge for the rest of the year for missions. Several times people arc out of town �15 THE FBIBND. and neglect to send in the money for the months they miss. To prevent this, the following plan has been suggested A card, bearing the name and envelope number of each member, is to be placed in plain sight, and each month each member will put a checkmark in the proper place for each month that he pays his pledge. During the last two weeks several Endeavours have announced their intention to personally try to bring souls to Christ. Many Endcavorcrs are becoming interested in missionary work in Mexico. This is a new field for C. E. missionary interests. M. I-:. PATY. : TIDINGS FROM LIHUE. The Kauai Association of Churches for the regular semiAll the annual session. April IQ. churches of the island were represented. The following were the more important matters which came up for consideration : The Waioli church, llanalei, presented a unanimous call to Rev. I). I'. Mahihila, returned missionary from Micronesia, to become their pastor. The call being confirmed by the Association and accepted by the pastorelect, a committee of five, headed by Rev. J. M. Lydgate, was appointed to install the new pastor, anil May 14 was fixed as the date of the installation. Rev. 7.. M. Xaahumakua, suspended from the ministry some years ago, for grave and sufficient reasons, again applied for reinstatement. The applicalioii was referred to a committee, which brought in a majority report recommending that he be restored, and a minority report that he be not restored. After considerable discussion the minority report was adopted. The report from the church of Hanapepe showed that church to be in a very much enfeebled and depleted condition, owing to the lonir-continued illness of the pastor, Rev. J. R. Kahaleole. The anxious consideration of this report resulted in the proposition to request an annuity from the Hawaiian Board for Rev. J. B. Kahaleole. on condition that he retire from the pastorate of the church, and that the church be then merged with the Waimca church under a single pastor. A committee was appointed to arrange the matter, with power to act. There was a general expression of regret at the passage of the new Sunday Law, with the assured conviction that it would prove most disastrous to met at I.ilme the best interests of the country. 'ITic conservative and courageous stand of the Governor was highly commended, and a committee was appointed to convey to him the hearty approval of the Association. The various churches were recommended to hold special services in the interest of Sunday observance, and the first Sunday in May was set apart for the purpose. The usual spirit of harmony and good fellowship prevailed. The "Ministers' School," under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate, followed the Association meeting and was devoted to study and criticism of sermon outlines based on a given text. It developed a good deal of interest and enthusiasm. Like a mushroom in a night the Saint Paulists have grown up in Koloa. They meet in a private house, where is kept the ark of sacred vestments, white and buttonless, in which they are robed from head to foot. The services are said to be quiet and orderly, not differing materially from other services, save in the white vestments and the anointing with oil, after the manner of the Old Testament. There are premonitions of an increased spiritual interest at Liliue. A cottage prayer meeting was held on Good Friday at the house of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lydgate, at which there was a general expression of a desire for a blessing, and Other meetings were arranged for. Special Easter services were held at Liliue and at Koloa. J. M. L. MARRIAGES.
