Maui hurches C It is becoming very evident that the Hawaiian Churches on Maui are feeling deeply and very helpfully the faithful service of Rev. (). P. Emerson on that and the two adjacent islaiuls. A general toning up of discipline, the gradual extinction of warring elements, a strong trcnel towarels closer union, enthusiastic rallies anil the like testify to the importance of the work he is doing. In fact his year of service is a splendid demonstration of the wisdom of stationing men of devotion and spiritual earnestness in every strategic point in oreler to encourage, inspire and help the native pastors. Patience anil persistence will do everything in Hawaii if the inspiring motive be the triumph e>f the Kingdom of Cod and the directing force be the Holy Spirit. The Board is to be congratulated em having so experienced, cautious, kindly and wise a missionary as Mr. Emerson in this work for which he is so eminently fitted. Vacationing Rev. and Mrs. < >. H. Gulick will leave August 8 for a vacation of three months on the Mainland. They expect to be present at the meeting of the American Boarel in Seattle anil will have a good time generally visiting friends and relatives. It is five years since they have had a vacation and during this time they haveput an amazing amount of effort into the notable work achieveel by them in this Territory. With the exception of the Micronesian Mission it is doubtful whether any eif the Missionaries of the American Board enjoy vacatieins so Infrequently as those eif the missionary workers in connection with the- Hawaiian Board. In Japan. China, India anel other fields a change of air, scene and work during several weeks of each year is re- garded as a prune necessity for missionaries and in addition a furlough home is given every ten years—in some fields as often as once in seven or eight years. Pitiless laws of health and of economy have dictated these usages. The climate of Hawaii seems to make possible steady weirk at high pressure for live years or more with no annual rest and with but a short furlough on the Mainland. Just where the vacation line is most wisely to be drawn is as yet a matter of spevu lation. Meantime every friend of Mr. and Mrs. Gulick is rejoicing in the knowledge that they are really off for a happy season of rest iii the homeland. They deserve every possible- joy that will come their way.

Taft. Our country has never experienced quite sei statesmanlike a single act, since the Emancipation Proclamation, as this expedition with its avowed object of introducing at first hand the demands of the situation in the Philippines to a large number of the Nation's statesmen. We live in an age when great things are done simply and as a mere matter of routine. All ot which means that we are learning the secrets of the divine working. But there is something much larger and to imagination far grander in the possibilities <>f the Taft party than either of the above indicated outcomes. That is nothing else than the introduction of Asia to America. Any student of Pacific problems knows that America needs little introduction to Asia. Japan has been studying us for decades with the most assiduous attention. She has come to cherish a deep admiration for our virtues, an admiration chastened by a very clear recognition eif our failures and defects. Many of the leading men of China know us intimately and her govI'lnineiit has about reached the point of determining to leave no stone unturned to ferret out the secret of American progress, achievement and character as thoroughly as Japan has done But America is wofully anel abominably ignorant of Asia. Those of us, who having been privileged to enter the sanctum of .Asiatic life have been moved to recognize like Moses of olel that we were em holy ground, are simply at sea in attempting to conceive how any agent of a civilized Power, however ignorant or personally boorish, can possibly treat Asiatic gentlemen, as employees of our Immigration Bureau have for years been abusing Chinese, whose position in the world, influence among men, family con■leetions and innate courtesy are unquestionably superior to those who subject them to indignity. The only possible solution is ignorance, dense, crass, plebeian, new-world ignorance and prejudice. Listen to the comments made upnii things Japanese by Americans of even a high school graduate* degree of education if ambitious to wear a blush for our Nation's colossal ability to know little of what the world needs to know most in the realm of inter-human affairs. The best thing that i-otild happen in the domain of international politics would be a correct conception of Asia by America. For years this has been the despair of the little coterie Who have bewailed the mistaken policy of our Nation towards China. But signs of a better day are apparent.

The Taft party must contribute in the same direction. After the return of this delegation to the United States the old-time method of treating China will be for them an impossibility. Asia will assume something of proper importance in their vision and America will learn the lesson which she has been teaching China anel Japan that a closed door always, shuts the nation that is fool enough to use it against larger life and surer realization of national possibilities.

On the 14th of April the "Morning Star" anchored in Lee harbor, Kusale, on her return from the tour of the Marshall Islands. Two days later, a peculiarly beautiful Sabbath morning, the Captain sat feasting bis eyes on the loveliness of the view from his room, the deeply serrated mountains, richly green from summit to base with a wealth of vine draped trees, anel the wide border of the luxuriant mangrove swam]), with the white seabirds circling and wheeling overhead, in the distance the houses of the mission showing white against the background of the hills, and, for a setting to the whole, the curling breakers on the edge of the barrier reef, a quarter of a mile away. The picture was one of such restfulness anel peace, after our long sojourn among the low coral islands with their heat and monotony, that the Captain remarked more than once on the beauty of it all, anel we seemed to have- no desire' but to quietly lift our eyes "unto the' hills." Three clays more, anil what a change had come over our beloved Kusaic! We looked from our deck upon a desolate and dreary land, shorn of all its lovely verdure, its mountains seamed, and scaireel. and rent, its rivers sending out to the sea great masses of debris, its homes all wrecked and scattered, and over the unfamiliar, bare, broken mangrove swamp, the bewildered birds fluttering anel crying in distress. It was a picture from which we- turned away with quick tears as often as it met our eyes. This sudden and heart-breaking change had been wrought by a terrific cyclone which swept over the island on the 19th of April. At 3 a. in. the Captain noticed the increasing wind and consulted his barometer, but it was then normal. An hour later, however, it had begun to fall, and continued to drop rapidly. A second anchor was dropped and everything possible done to secure the vessel, but the wind had bcome so violent that the attempt to take in the large- awnings fore and aft was unsuccessful, the after awning being carried away to sea in shreds, the forward one much torn. 'I he wind sail and binnacle top soon followed the awning, and other movable articles, such as fire buckets. At breakfast time it was so difficult a matter to get from the Captain's room to the cabin aft that Dorothy, in rubber coat and so'wester was dispatched with a basket to procure supplies for the "besieged city." as we called our epiarters forward, anil came struggling back, hardly able to keep her feet or hold her basket. Meanwhile .our doOTSr windows and blinds hael been closed, and in the darkness the noise of the increasing fury of the elements was terrible. One can imagine a little of the force of the wind by the fact that, in spite of the closing of eleieirs and windows, which had been an effectual bar against wind and sea all the voyage, the driving sprayanil rain were hurled in such volumes anel with so great v'olcnce Upon the ship that the water poureel in over windows anil eloors anil soon drenched the rooms, running in rivers over the floors anel leaving pools in the corners where the excited Ruth found that her feet were "all under water" as she walked. The air was so filled with the spray that at times it was not possible to see the shore not far away; it was like a elriving blizzard, and the men on deck found that it stung cruelly. About 7:30 a. HI. the ship vas driven across the harbor, dragging her anchors, and remained lodged against the- rocks, scraping and bumping incessantly for more than two hours. In our dark room the children and I found it difficult to move about lie-cause eif the uncertainty of the motion, and I kept niv post for the most part leaning over the Captain's desk, where, with a lighted candle, I watched anil recorded the movements of the barometer, as the Captain was unable' to leave the deck. Its progress was re-porteel to him every ten minutes through a window on the lee' side, and as I watched it go down and down, my heart seemed to go down as fast. Before 10 a. in. the barometer was at a Standstill, and the little lull in the weather gave- us an opportunity to see the havoc which had been made on shore near us. The mission is some two and a half miles away, down the coast, and it was impossible to see- so far, but we could well surmise what thedestruction must be from what was visible nearer at hand. The- mangrove trees stood bare and broken, in many places entirely .shorn of branches, a wilderness Of mangled stumps: the mountain-sides were furrowed deeply here and there as with a mighty plough, huge' trees lying with their roots in tinair or tossed in tangled heaps, as one would throw out the weeds freim i garden; the beautiful cocoanut palms itood with heads twisted and drooping or cut off as though severe-el with a sharp knife; here and there even the crests of the hills had altered their shape, through the loss of boulders or characteristic trees, and there were many waterfalls to be seen. One coulil see far tij) into the little valleys anil all manner of unsuspected nooks, now pitifully bare; indeed, there seemed no secret of the poor island left unrevealetl. But wehad not long to le>e>k. The center of the Cyclone having passed, the wind came out from the opposite direction, the southwest, with a terrific shriek, and the ship was rapidly driven across the harbor to the other reef, where she again lodged against the rocks. By this time the noise of the warring elements was something defying description ; the expression "all bell let loose" came with great vividness to our minds. In the forward room the children and I were obliged to shout at one another to make ourselves heard. And as we now and then had a glimpse of the storm through one of the lee windows the sight was not reassuring. At times the broad reef seemed almost bared of water, as the wind BWOOped it up anel hurled it aloft, throwing it back in blinding sheets. We �7 THE FRIEND. watched with anxiety a group of higher mcks not far away, which thrust their threatening beads above the- waves, trying to See if we- were- drifting any nearer from moment to moment, but when at last the vessel moved again it was a relief to find that we were to be lodged on a sandy bed. Here we lay all night, and it was a curious experience to look eitit. in the soft moonlight which succeeded the gale, upon the line of little breakers which murmured alongside the ship, near enough for one to have jumped into them from the deck. During the progress of the- cyclone the- children were at first, quite naturally, greatly terrified. Bui I tried to reassure then: by the thought that this was God's ship, and that he woulel care for it, for the- friends on shore- would he in need of help which only the "Morning Star" could give. Then we remembered that we hael not yet had prayers in the hurry and anxiety of this new experience, and so the- children went into one of the inner rooms for a few moments and came back much comforted. Dorothy said to me. "Why. when we went into the other room, 1 was so frightened thai 1 could scarceh breathe, but now my fear is all gone!" We- found diversion for the little heads from the continual thought of danger by busying the hand with a futile attempt at keeping the- water out by mopping. Even little Elizabeth bail her small cloth and worked over the "low bureau'1 in the children's room, forgetting her fear in the thought that she It happened ( '■) thai was helping. Ruth was that week committing to memory the ninety-first Psalm, and at bedtime sin- spoke of it to me. repeating a verse he-e anel there which had been iii her mind during those- awful hours. To at least two Itttli girls that Psalm will always have a peculiar significance. The barometer had remained stationary some fifteen minutes, and then had gone up with the same regularity which had marked its fall. The duration of the Storm was about seven hours. But although so much sharter than the hurricane of fourteen years ago. which lasted three days, the work of destruc- the- sanely reef. We ha Ino help irom the- steam, for the engine was all down at the time, undergoing cleaning and repairs; but the next morning, with the help of keelge anchors and lines, the ship was pulled oil', and we were scion at our usual anchorage. The men bad noticed the Spot at Which the large brass bin- nacle top hael struck the water, anel went in search of it, fineling it with two sizable stones on to]) eif it, anel ill a somewhat battered condition, but with two lamps unbroken. It was repaireel and is now again on duty. The after affects of the storm were severe, aside from the loss of food supplies and homes. The rivers were much clogged by the decaying vegetation, and sent broad streams of inky water far out to sea. The stench, with the outflowing tides, was fearful. Thousands of dead fish floated by, actually beaten to death on the coral. Our white ship was turned into brown, the chemical action of the poisonous gasses in combination with the salt water in which we had been drenched within and without working the transformation, Ami incredible masses of debris floated sluggishly past us, assuming the appearance almost of a piece of the land moving out to sea. But very fortunately there was mi long drought, like that which followed the first storm, and maele all the conditions so very unbealthful; this time the heavy rains on several clays after the storm swept down from the mountains the ruined vegetation and carried it off in the rivers, so relieving not only the hills bul also the general atmosphere, But what of the mission? It had been impossible for us to make out the station clearly, even with a strong glass, neither could our friends on shore see the ship until late in the afternoon, when they discovered that we had not gone, as they feared, to the bottom, but could not toll whether or not we had escaped serious damage.

They tolel us of senne who were hurt, also, and as soon as possible the Captain went down to Mwot with them and learned the whole sad the tion was in the present case more complete.

All other buildings, school house, boys' houses, boat and canoe bouses—everything, in fact, went completely. Dr. Rife, early in the Storm, took refuge with his family in a small tool house close by. and his own bouse was left tipping at a elangeruis angle, so that, having secured his possession* and stored them in the tool house after the gale, it l>ecame necessary to pull down the main house for safety. �8 But the most exposed part e)f the whole mission property was the hill, lonrok, on which the Girls' School was located.

Dr. Rife and Mr. Channon, being unable to go themselves, had sent some of their choicest boys, at the beginning of the storm, to the assistance of the ladies on the hill, anil these boys deserve especial mention for the noble way in which they lost sight of their own safety and gave themselves to the service of the (lirls' School. When, after the center of the cyclone hael passed .-••id the wind came howling from the opposite direction with redoubled fury, it became necessary to flee from the bouse at once, the' motion of the btlileling was so violent that many of the sixty-one girls could not get out without help. Miss Iloppin watched from outside the black opening of the doorway through which the girls were issuing, and wondered in a dumb agony if the end of the procession woulel never come. And even when the last one was out she would have entered the bouse to make sure that no one had been left, had the I ovs not forcibly restrained her and returned themselves. Scarcely were the last of the company as far distant as the length of the house when it fell, anil they say that such was the horrible uproar of sound which enveloped them that they heard no additional crash when the great house collapsed!

The olel coral church, which withstood the former .dorm, was partially demolished, but the bell-tower of rock and cement, thirty feet high, which had just been erected at great labor byMr. Channon and his scholars to holel the new bell presented to the Kusaien church by the "King's Daughters" Society eif the Ciirls' School, stood unshaken, "for it was founded upon a rock." Mr. Channon had taken special pains with the- foundation, digging deep and filling it with rocks. The tower was to have been dedieateel em the day before Easter. It now stands as a pathetic monument to Mr. Chanuon's love for the people. The wholesome destruction of all food supplies must cause much neeel, for ii will be long before Nature can repair damages, and most of the large breadfruit and coacoanut trees are ruined. The limes, papaias, mangoes, alligator pears, etc., will be greatly missed. The natives at once oiaele low shelters for themselves and proceeded to start taro and bananas, but even these take so long to mature that i'. will not be easy to wait for them. The people must depend on rice anil fish, largely, but what and if their "money, be lly away?" We felt this to be a serious problem. The question of the disposition of the (iirls' School was a difficult one. As a result of the deliberations of the mission, the "Morning Star" sailed from Kusaie May ist, having on boarel the whole school anel their two teachers, with all the effects saved from the wreck, bound for Ponape, which we hoped hael remained untouched, as in the former Storm, and thus wheie we thought te) find a harbor for the homeless company. The Ponape School building was a large one anil the school small, so the plan seemed quite a possible one. But, touching at Pingelap and Mokil on the way, we found that they hael not escaped, our storm having reached them on the night of the 19th. Then we feareel for Ponape, anel as we steamed around that island on the next day and found our fears confirmed our hearts sank within us. I'onape had fared worse, if The German possible, than Kusaie. Colony was a mass of ruins; all native houses were destroyed; at the mission station, Mr. Gray's houses were all gone, the (iirls' School building hael been partly wrecked, then left standing, what was left of it, "on the- bias," as Miss Rainier put it. Misses l-'oss anel Rainier were camping out with their twelve girls under a rude shelter of iron roofing, along one siele of which the girls were packed at night like sarelines, anel in the center of which the two ladies slept on canvas cots. The shelter was not rain-proof, ami Miss Palmer told amusingly how Miss l-'oss went to rest every night with an umbrella spreael Over her, sleeping serenely as though it were quite the natural and proper thing to sleep that way. Miss Ross feels that she owes her life to One of the boys from Mr.'Gray's school, who established himself as her protector, dragging her, when she was unable to aid herself, from one place to another, to avoid evernew dangers from falling objects. The house had been standing only about two years, so the lumber was in good condition to use again, anil a good native carpenter was at work rebuilding the place, On a smaller scale, when we were there. Mr. Gray hail put up a large room with the lumber from his house as a temporary dwelling place, intending to enlargebis house a little later. The food question at Ponape will be a much more serious one with the natives than at Kusaie, for the population is large and the destruction of breadfruit anil cocoanut trees almost total. We hope that the German government will do something toward relieving the inevitable distress. Some fifteen Ponapcas were killed in the gale and about four hundred injured. With the friends at Ponape in such a plight there was nothing for us to do but to return to Kusaie with all our passengers. Miss Wilson had endured the trip fairly well, having had a swinging-heel rigged for her under the awning on the after-deck, with ready arms always at call to lift her. The little Marshall Ruth did not seem to have been harmed by the voyage, but the German doctor at Ponape, who was most kind, and came three times to visit the little patient and dress the wound, looked very grave over her and assured us in his broken English that there was only a chance for her recovery. At the time of our leaving Kusaie Miss Wilson was able to move alxnit carefully with a cane, but Ruth had lost ground. When at last the "Star" sailed from Kusaie for the Gilbert Islands and Honolulu, we left the Girls' School established at the Channons' place and Dr. Rife and his family occupying the tool house and kitchen, with plans to enlarge their quarters slightly by means of lumber from the wreck. These workers are awaiting the elecision of the American Board with regard to the future of the schools. In looking back upon this experience we are still vividly impressed with the mercies with which it was tempered. Hail it visited the islands in the night great loss of life must have resulted, es- pecially in the two girls' schools. Then, too, that the missionary vessel should have been at hand, ready to render the needed service, anil that she was saved from wreck or serious damage (only one sheet of copper was torn off, and a leaking rudder trunk, the result of thumping on the rocks, was neit BO serious as to prevent the voyage to Honolulu) was almost a miracle. As Miss Iloppin said, this experience had seemed to give the new "Morning Star" her rightful placein the line of succession with the vessels which had borne the name before her. There had been, of course, great interest in the new ship, and rejoicing that she should be a Steamer, and she had successfully performed her year's work; but now she stands confirmed as "Morning Star Xo. 5, a witness to the preserving care of God, and with her true place deep in the hearts of the missionaries anel our people in the islands.

More than half of Hawaii's population is Oriental. China, Korea and Japan have given their thousands to help in the development and prosperity of these Islands. The fust impression on arriving in Honolulu is that of a real up-todate American city, but as one travels �THE FRIEND 10 from plantation to plantation, or visits Chinatown or the Japanese stores, one may well call this an Oriental Hawaii. As during the past fifty years, the hard-working, industrious Chinese laborer has made possible the great wealth of these mid-Pacific islands, so the life and influence of .America has done much to change and improve the character of the Chinese. And not only is this influence telt by the Chinese who are here, but those having lived in Hawaii go back anel in many ways aiel in the changes that are now taking place in China. yOU NO MI'.N IN CHINA.

A number are acting as teachers, anil still others are acting as interpreters and business men. In Shanghai, not long ago, I met a young man from Honolulu who has the position of private secretary to Li Hung Chang's son. Another young Chinese, a graduate of Punahou College, met me with a hearty greeting on the streets of Canton. He is now a professor of English in a private school there. While talking to the president of one of the largest colleges in Shanghai, he said: "I like to have your Honolulu boys come here to study. They give a good spirit to our entire institution."

So you see they all find that the tire- carnage- is a geiod thing" The Chinese may be slow and deliberate but when he is fully convinced ola good thing he is ready to adopt it. And there is no better place tei convince bun than here in these Pacific islands.

There are some sixteen boys from the islands in this one college. Others are studying in the schools eif Canton. A young man from Mills Institute, whose picture is given, has recently left Hawaii to take a special Chinese course in the Rati Training School, Canton. This is a school that has given many of the workers now laboring among the Chinese of the islands. The Hawaiian Board may have here several scholarships with a special view to the Hawaiian work. eliHii Church One of the most beautiful churches of South China, has recently been built partly with money raised in Hawaii. This is the church at Lieu Chan of which a picture is given. Some $400 was sent from Honolulu. Letters are geiing out all the time with Gospel messages. I'he Christians returning from Hawaii cannot fail to have a large influence on those they meet in China. AGAINST SfI'KKSIITION. Hawaii's Chinese stand for preigrcss and enlightenment. Any one who has lived here in the light of the 20th century, who has been swiftly and safely carried about with comfort in the electric cars, cannot well believe in "fung shui" or wooelen idols. A man who has worked on a large plantation, and seen modem irrigation and great pumping engines, cannot take much stock in a paper image, put up in field under a shelter of ]>oles, as is shown in the picture, to keep away drought.

But they want more. They want, and have a right to insist on fair treatment, the same treatment accorded to the most favored nation. Is it just to allow Korean, Japanese, Porto Rican or Italian laborers to come into Hawaii, ami not the- Chinese? They are- quite willing that America should have exclusion laws, and regulate or limit foreign labor. But they insist, and justly so, that Unlaws should apply to all alike. A few small changes will not satisfy them. ( Inly just and fair treatment can now arrest the- anti-American feeling that is fast spreading in every trade center of China. Those who have not been in China recently can hardly realize the size- of the boycott, the strength of the Chinese feeling, the money that is being put into it. Nearly every Chinaman in Hawaii will contribute to the movement to secure fair treatment for China! It is the- one subject discussed, not only he-re- iii Honolulu, and on every plantation, but in every port in China. America can have- no idea of the tremendous antagonism she has been stirring up slowly but surely eluring the past twenty years. She does not know the- strength of the trade guilds and Chinese tongs, and she seems to have no realization <>f the. stupendous possibilities and opportunities she- is just throwing away. Hawaii should be- foremost in helping to bring about justice and fair treatme-nt, and not only for China's sake, but for her own future life anil prosperity. Is Hawaii to be a gre-at trade center of tlu- Pacific, a future Hongkong or Shanghai of .America? That depends upon whether America secures a large part of China's trade.or not. If we lose China, we lose the Pacific. rill. TRADE Of THE PACIFIC. Hawaii's greatest possibility of influencing China will come through a future great Oriental trade on the waters of the Pacific ocean. The millions that are to make the future of the world, live in countries bordering the Hawaii should extend great Pacific America's hand of welcome, and not exclusion, to our Oriental neighbors.

Now nearing the end of life, he feels moved to tell a little about why he so believes. We live in a wonderful world, crowded with tokens of order, wisdom, beauty, power and beneficence —such as most impressively betoken the presence and care of an infinitely wise and gracious Creator and Sustainer. One's reason gladly accepts and quietly rests in the full assurance of the pervading presence of the God and Father who made and who sustains this complex world—nay, the almost infinite complexity of the universe of worlds which we nightly behold, extending into the fathomless distances of space. Any conception of such a Universe existing apart from the Inhabiting, Pervading and Sustaining Soul Divine, seems utterly irrational and impossible. Such a Being must be a Father to his rational creatures. He must inevitably be Impelled to Reveal himself to them, in such ways as may lift them towards himself. Accordingly we find in the Bible an extended Record of such Revelations going e>n through long ages, appropriate, merciful, wise, guiding anil holy. The Divine Being therein disclosed, our hearts rise to worship and adore. Especially are the teachings of this Bible Revelation unspeakably attractive and divinely glorious in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, who lived in such meekness and devoted service, yet in such exalted authority and luavenliness of teaching, who died a Sacrifice for our Sins, and who rose gloriously triumphant over death, summoning us to follow him into Heaven. This wonderful Redeemer's work has gone on and grown as a mighty Seed of Life among the tares and thorns of the corrupt and evil ways of mankind. It has powerfully maele its way, anel grown in the midst eif human wickedness, cruelty and impurity. It has tx)rne most beneficent fruits of Light, Liberty and Social Well-being, advancing in increasing ratio as the centuries continue. Por it is only where Christ is best known and most freely taught that this beneficent progress advances. He is the one guiding Light of the World amid its sail darkness. To follow Him is the sole reliable He>]>e of Mankind in order to win peace and well-being out of their bitter struggles. His coming Reign in the World, His victory over selfishness anel corruption in men's hearts, is the one glorious Hope of Suffering Mankind. This Christ our Lord has risen to reign in a higher and larger Realm than earth, but has not severed His connection with his People on earth. He calls us to join him in that Home above, which he is ever making ready for us, where He assures us of endless Life and Blessedness. But He also continues in manifolel ways, to make His Presence and Power sensible on earth, for the assurance and comfort of his people here while they work and wait. The Divine Revelations of the old tune are not at an end. The Holy Spirit of God, who rested in revealing and inspiring power upon prophets and a]x>stles in past ages, still visits His servants and inspires them to speak of the "things of Christ." Nay, the Lord Jesus himself still at times personally visits and manifests his presence to favoreel disciples, in order that they may more confidently believe in Him. Jesus is the living Lord and King in his Church and Kingdom. Our faith in him is not vague, nor a vain imagination. It is a living reality. S. E. B. THE SHEEP-KILLERS. ByStanlW ey aterloo.

It is the custom of this paper to print the initials of all who contribute to its pages. The only exceptions to this rule are in the case of practically unimportant material or of clippings, the source of the latter bslag given. The first initials appearing in each issue cover all of the reading matter which precedes, the next following initials show whose the responsibility is fur all that inter venes. etc. To avoid frequent repetition, mi tials mice printed are often made to e-over more than one article, espee-ially in the- case of editorials. Neither the Boarel of Kditors nor the Hawaiian Board is responsible for any opinions, statements or sentinu-nts appearing in Tin- I-limit. The individual writer whose initials are given bears the entire rements made in sponsibility. DOHKMI'H SCIIDDKR, Managing Editor. �THE FRIEND HAWAIIAN MISSION SOCIETY. CHILDREN'S When this society had reached its jubilee in 1902. there was much talk about it, and a change was proposed in its organization, to make it more a commemorative society, and to turn our endeavors for raising money for our mission schools into the channels of the Hawaiian Board, many of the Cousins being already the largest contributors to the Boarel. At the same time at a very large and enthusiastic meeting of this society, the question arose of giving up "The Friend." A most warm discussion followed, and the then Corresponding Secretary of the society warmly pleaded that "The Friend" be continued, and be an organ of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, as well as of the Hawaiian Boarel. flu- happy verdict on the "Friend" was maele in the humorous remark of T. Richards, "Well, the 'Friend' has fallen among friends tonight surely." A plan was maele to have a Hawaiian Mission Children's Society page and this you know has been maintained until very lately, when severe illness has prevented one of the members of the committee for preparing the page, from doing her share of the work. Extracts from a letter of Miss Helen N'ortem, once the Principal of Kawaiahao Seminary, to Miss Chamberlain. It is written from Eustis, Florida, June 9, 11)05. She says: "1 have received the papers sent, the last being May 3d, Oth anel 20th, anel have read the news with interest. You are having so many problems to face with vow cosmopolitan population and your isolation, yet perhaps not more than are found in some other sections, but you meet them more conscientiously, and care more that righteousness shall be established. The Friend has some most excellent articles deand one sometime since on tothe give people of your termination Christianity, education, justice to all oi whatever color, made me want to give you all the Chautauqua salute. It is so different in spirit from what is found in this South land, and the more is the pity of it. There are some good signs, one being the meeting together of the Blue and the Grey on Memorial and other clays." She speaks of the prospective opening in October of a fine Presbyterian college in Eustis, and that she has been spoken to about becoming a member of the faculty and was considering the matter. M. A. CHAMBERLAIN. IN MEMORIAM. Carol ink Form Akmstroni; Bi-xka itii. The circle of children of the Protestislands is rapidly being thinneel. But few now remain of those who were beirn here in the thirties. ()ne by one the friends and companions of our childhood are being bidden to come up higher. Early in the morning of the 18th of last month, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. J. I lair, the beloved wife e>f the Rev. E. C Beckwith, whom We knew tn her girlhood as Caroline Porter Armstrong, went to the rest which she bad long prayed for. For her it was a blessed release from weariness and suffering, and her clearest friends would not call her back even if they could. She was lx>rn in Honolulu, July 17, Her father was the Rev. Richard 1832. Armstrong, who filleel SO important a part as a missionary, statesman and educates in the "making of Hawaii." With her parents, the Alexagders, and the Barkers, she sailed for the Marquesas Islands, July 2, 1833, where they spent eight terrible mouths among the cannibals, finally relinquishing that field at the instance of the Londoi: Missionary Society, and returning to Tahor in Hawaii. Her home life during the next six years on Maui, and afterwards in Honolulu, has been well described in the memoir of her brother, the late Gen, S. C. Armstrong, founder of the Hampton Institute. I ler father's journal records as his first deep personal grief the parting with his daughter Caroline, who was sent at the tender age of ten years, around Cape Horn to the Eastern States for the education which it was then impossible to obtain in these Islands. While there she lived with her uncle, the late Judge Chapman, of Springfield, Mass. In 1851 she graduated from Mt. Holvoke Seminary, which was then the foremost institution in America for the higher education of women. But her ardent devotion to study probably undermineel her constitution, which was naturally delicate. She returned to the Islands with her mother in the latter part of the following year, by way of the isthmus of Pairama. arriving in Honolulu, February 11, 1853. As the Panama railroad was not built till two years later the hardships of the journey and the exposure to the pestilential climate of the isthmus brought on afterwards an attack of fever, from the effects of which she never recovered. On the 17th of April, 1853, she was married to the Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who ant Missionaries to these 13 had come to Honolulu in 1851, to take charge of the Royal School. Eor the next half century her life to an unusual degree was blended with that of her husl>anel, whose tender and untiring devotion to his invalid wife, was ever to him a sweet privilege rather than a duty. Eor both of them this long trial was made a means of rich spiritual blessing. No sufferer ever made a braver struggle with infirmity than she. There was always "sunshine in her soul," and she had cheerful words and winning ways for all around her. "She wrote many letters full of sympathy, condolence and encouragement." Her sweet patience and her Christian faith and hope exerted a far greater influence for good on others than she herself was at all aware of. "They also serve who only stand and wait." She shared all her husband's long anel varied experience, first when he was in charge of the Royal School, then as President of Oahu College till 18511, then for twelve years as a pastor in Sacramento and San Francisco, then for ten years a ]>astor in Waterbury, Conn., from 1871 till 1881, then in San Erancisco again, until Nov. 20, 1887, when he was installed as pastor of the newly organized Central Union Church in Honolulu, which position he resigned January, 10, 1894, to accept the pastorate of the Makawao Church. In all these places she has left tender anel sacred memories. Their golden wedding was celebrated two years ago. The immediate cause of her death was a recurrence of paralysis, which first affected her throat, anel then slowly spread until it reached her vital organs. "She was conscious until within a few hours of the end, which came peacefully in the early morning, just after her 73d birthday." Her only grandson, Holmes Beckwith, was one of those at her bedside when she breathed her last. The funeral services, which were held in the afternoon of the same day, were conducted by the Rev. B. Y. Bazata. The familiar hymns, "Asleep in Jesus" and "This is not my place of rest," were sung, and what of her was mortal was laid to rest under the overshadowing trees of the Makawao cemetery. Three of her brothers, viz., Reuben, Richard Baxter, and Samuel Chapman, and one sister, Mrs. Clara Banning, who died June 14, 1004, have gone before her. Her surviving brothers and sisters are William N. Armstrong, Mrs. Ellen A. Weaver, Miss Mary J. Armstrong and Miss Amelia Armstrong. She has also left one daughter, living, Mrs. J. J. Hair, and six grandchildren, viz., two children of her son, Frank �14 THE FRIEND Armstrong Beckwith, and four children the date of departure, which may fall of her daughter, Mrs. (aniline A.
