It does not seem to he the poor stick who has failed at home who wishes to have a try at the youth of this favored clime, but on the contrary successful, earnest, resourceful men and women with good positions in hand and records of which they well may he proud look hithcrward with longing eyes. It is a little hard to tell why this is. Climate, missionary history, tales of matrimonial possibilities, the glamor of the far away, the poetry which envelopes the very name Hawaii, all have their advocates among those who discuss the question. In olden days it was not hard to secure missionary candidates of the ablest stamp as the history of the Islands amply proves. The Hawaiian Board last year had only to make known on the mainland by one feeble voice her hope of being able to man the Territory with a fresh hand of devoted Christian leaders, in order to find more volunteers among men and women of the highest education and ability than it could hope to have funds enough to engage for many a year. This Mid-Pacific l'aradise certainly exerts a strong fascination upon minds that are swayed by ideal considerations. Is this a part of the strange Providential history whose development was so graphically sketched by Dr. Bishop in the remarkable series of articles published by him in the Friend a year ago?

President Home's administration is proving a notable success. �THE FRIEND 4 Makiki Church Again This band of Japanese Christians knows no leisure. When other churches following the universal American custom, rest on their oars, these < Oriental disciples take as their motto their Lord's words "My Father worked hitherto, and 1 work." Not content with organizing in mid-summer open air meetings in front of the various so-called Japanese "camps" in Moiliili and Makiki, where men and women are rounded up and led to the church, they have instituted a thorough canvass of the entire district. Two years ago a similar census showed a lapanesc population of 561 in the section of town east of Alapai and north of King streets including Moiliili and Ma noa. Although the Makiki churchmemhers have worked their field with a care unapproached by perhaps any other organization in the city, they were not quite prepared for the revelation of increase which each new day of the present investigation is making. In Aprd 1903 there were 35 Japanese scattered along the entire length of Kinau street. Today there are K7 men and 47 women or a total of 134. Already incomplete returns from the entire district are totaling kxxi and by the time the census is completed there will he something like 15(H) to record as against the 561 of April. [903. The Appeal for Aid A letter was recently sent to about one hundred friends asking special contributions for a new meeting house for the Makiki Japanese Church. Responses are slowly coming in. At the time the letter was prepared no one had any idea that in the district covered by this aggressive organization anything like 1500 Japanese were resident. It is clearly evident that this church has a great future before it. Xow is the time to aid. It is gratifying to note the responses which are coining in to the Hoard Rooms for this movement Already enough has been received to insure the purchase of land. Will not every reader of this paragraph send to Mr. Richards, Treasurer of the Hoard a special donation marked "For the Makiki Japanese Church?" We must have about .s6.(kio to put up the building required.

There is also another Ai Kwai for women in this Church.

The telephone address of this agency is White 3361. Letters addressed Ai Yu Kwai I*. (). Box 894 will also reach their desti- nation. This is a very much needed form of social service in Honolulu. The Ai Yn Kwai is determined to sift out the unworthy, irresponsible and unreliable and to commend only those who are likely to give satisfaction. Of course no such guarantee can be given. The aim is to do the best possible. It will pay our subscribers to hear this society in mind. Meanwhile why not give a helping hand to a Church that plans such practical service (and that too without cost to anyone) by sending to the Treasurer of the Hoard a generous gift to provide for it a suitable building? Schools Again The announcement of the Kamehameha Trustees that the total number of pupils must be CUt from 301 to 2~0 emphasizes the need of a new institution to which not only Hawaiian hoys and girls may go but also those of the other races. It has long been the hope of the Hawaiian Hoard to bring about the consolidation of Kawaiahao Seminary, Mills Institute and the Japanese Hoarding School into one strong institution in which the ideals of education as outlined long ago by the missionary fathers should have their modern fulfilment Americans should never forget that Hawaii gave Hampton Institute to the world not only by the gift of General Armstrong but also by having impressed that splendid knighterrant with the value of industrial training. What this Territory most needs tolay is a school whose basic principle shall be to turn out Christian men and women fitted to live here and develop the possibilities of these Islands. We have an immense raw material of Japanese, Chi- mehameha cannot train. The one great demand of the immediate present is generously to equip a splendid institute to rive not only a general academic training but also a most thorough industrial education, fitting boys and girls to go out and make homes for themselves, to develop the country, to enter the various trades and every where to carry the spirit of Jesus Christ. Who will he the first to give largely to realise this noble ideal in the planting of a Christian Mid-Pacific Institute near I lonolulu? Mother Rice The tidings that Mother Rice of Kauai had been stricken with illness caused a wave of sorrow to (low over the Christian community of this Territory. For so many years both Mother Castle and Mother Rice have been identified with every movement looking towards better things for the people of Hawaii that they have come to be a part of the higher life of the island community. Their hearts have taken in the whole world and their benefactions have gone forth to the ends of the earth. Anything that threatens their continuance with us brings a chill >f pain to us all. So when the news came that Mother Rice was seriously ill the community felt it as a personal sorrow, and fervent prayers went up for her recovery. It is good to know that she has rallied, that her faculties are as keen as ever and her interests as dee]) Mayin every Christian enterprise. illustrate the be to spared she long beauty and glory of sainted living.

In this connection, the recent declaration made by a national leader of great acutcness that the majority of the American people are already independent of party, deserves thoughtful consideration. Parties are useful, nay, even necessary in a democracy, but the American people have learned that they are tools, not masters.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. lust as we go to press the tidings come that Japan and Russia have agreed upon terms of peace. 'There is something wonderfully pathetic in the way in which the attention of the world has been centered upon Portsmouth, in this mute expression of the longing of the heart of mankind for peace and in the manifestation of the universal demand not only that this war should end, but also that hereafter all war must be made impossible. Unstinted praise crowns the efforts of our noble President to bring the commissioners to an amicable agreement, and we Americans are prouder than ever of the beneficent influence <>f our Chief Magisrate. While this is true and cannot he overestimated, there is one side of this Eastern question which must not he overlooked. For lovers of Japan cannot hep being solicitous for that Empire as long as Russia remains what she is. It should never be forgotten that the Czar docs not seem to know the meaning of a binding promise. Japan is lighting for the integrity of Eastern Asia, for the right of die Mongolian man to develop his Codgiven individuality. Her foe—the Russian Government, not the Russian people—cares nothing for this ideal. St. Petersburg has not changed its nature as a result of the past year and a half's experience. It has never swerved from its original purpose to dominate Asia, and there is no evidence that it has passed through a conversion following the Woody baptism of war. 'The only argument to which the Czar will yield is force. The logic of this situation is the logic of the stalwart Roman, Cato. "Cathago delenda est.". In this case the words should read, "Russia must be expelled from Eastern Asia." It is this conviction which moves a few of the anient friends of the American President to wish that his peace negotiations might have been postponed until after Japan had seized Yladivostock, overthrown Linevitcli and driven the Czar out of Manchuria. It is not clear to those who do not look beneath the surface that the initiative taken by President Roosevelt practically amounted to coercion. Japan is in no condition to resist a request put forth with the stren- this Court, especially in view of the tremendous compelling ]X>wer which such a request at this time must carry? Britain's immediate criticism of this suggestion shows what a blow at Japan's real interests this appeared to the friends of the Rising Sun Empire over there. These considerations are well worth noting here in Hawaii, where the bearing <>f the Eastern question is seen at close However, peace is in itself so range. great a gain that optimists cannot but hope that although Japan seems to have been kept from the full enjoyment of the fruits of her victory, the movement for emancipation in Russia will go on to completion. If liberty should dawn in the hearts of that mighty people, there will be no later war for conquest in Kastern Asia. Japan will be allowed full opportunity to lead China into the larger life awaiting that giant nation. After all, the Far East needs only a decade of peace to render war there with a European power forever out of the e|uestion. In the light of such an issue the zeal for peace of President Roosevelt may take its place in human memory as one of the nobler manifestations of the Spirit of (iod in the hearts of His human children. to of the American Chief Magistrate. She must have the good will of our nation in her struggle. It undoubtedly was because of this feeling that her peace demands were so generously lenient. It is rumored in some of the press notices that President Roosevelt strongly expressed his disapproval of the stand taken by Japan's commissioners in not consenting to an armistice at the outset. Later cable dispatches speak of his taking an active part in the negotiations, especially when Japan seemed disinclined to yield. Some partisans of Japan question whether zeal for peace has not led our Government to play a part slightly suggestive of the action of France and THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

It is one of the long indent to submit any of the terms of peace heritances of all men. The other element uoiisness �6 in this desire is religious. Ancestor worship and all its related phenomena take their rightful place# in the make up of this longing to be laid to rest alongside one's own kith and kin. But this love of the old hearth and glebe is something vastly different from patriotism, which springs from an altogether larger consciousness. Whether China in its past ever exhibited this passion or not is beside the question. That it does not characterize the people of that vast conglomerate today and does not form a part of his heritage is not to be doubted. Rut that he is incapable of it the phenomena of the last few years belie most effectively. And as was the case with Germany, so now with the Eastern Asiatic foreign aggression was needed to stimulate the germination of this mighty force. Eor decades China has been the butt of the Powers. The generation now living cannot remember when Europe was not bullying her. Finally in the Roxer outbreak the world began to feel the faint motions of the coming offspring. I lere in Hawaii the evidences of the slowgrowth of the giant-to-be have been steadily increasing year by year. The reform movement which has been quite noisy here at times, the essays of school boys and school girls breathing a new spirit of love for China, the careers and addresses of Wu Ting Fan and other representatives of the Court at Peking and now the enthusiastic boycott of American goods, all tell the same story that the idea of the Nation is being born. It is a great experience and for the people which passes through it the noblest possible movement it can know until the day when Nation after Nation shall enter the still larger realm of the World-consciousness. We hear now and then a mutter of anger against the boycott. Let America beware. Leave a lioness alone that is licking her new born cub. China may flame into passion at any moment. Better far for her and the world if she be suffered quietly to enter upon the full blessedness of self-consciousness. Better far if America should stand with Japan in tender ministration and play the Socratic role of midwife in the mighty process. Thank God the hour for the partition of this Great Nation has passed; and our own beloved land, whatever may be her subsequent mistakes in the treatment of China and notwithstanding her blindness in excluding and misjudging the people, whom of all others she most needs in helping her to build up her own future out of fragments of worn out Europe, will find the China of ioo years hence, THE FRIEND. that great glorious China which some of us in our visions see, turning in grateful love to the Republic of the West because of the signal service which obviated a partition, that might have delayed and rendered far more bloody to all the Powers but never could have prevented her birth into the consciousness of the Nation. manent life work here.

It is a great privilege to welcome young people of such generous attainments who covet the opportunity to go to lonely stations and put their entire lives into efforts to give to plantation laborers and Asiatic coolies the message of salvation.

The Friend takes great pleasure in presenting to all its readers the above portrait of the latest addition to the missionary force of the Hawaiian Board. Mr. Dodge, who is the son of Rev. John Edwards and Emma Backus Dodge, was born in West boro, Massachusetts. Pursuing his studies in the public schools and then in Worcester Classical High School be entered Amherst College and was graduated in 1901 with the degree of B. A. He next entered Hartfort Theological Seminary, where with intervals for the study of German at Heidelburg and for special work at Marburg University he took his second degree of B. D. last Spring. At one time in his student course ill health sent him out upon a farm. Here he acquired an unusual fondness for farm-garden pursuits, which will stand him in good stead in his work in this Territory, where questions of the development of the agricultural possibilities of our Island group arc so insistent. For so young a man Mr. Dodge has enjoyed no little opportunity for He brings with him an preaching. enthusiasm for missionary enterprises and expects to do his per- Honolulu has been favored by a lecture delivered on the 28th ult. before the Research Club, by the eminent Dr. W. H. Pickering of Harvard, upon the phenomena of the moon. The speaker has for many years made a special study of those phenomena with the aid of photography. His visit to Hawaii has been made with especial view to comparison of the volcanic craters peculiar to these islands with those of the moon. The results obtained as stated in his lecture, are such as to justify particular notice in TifE Friend, The lecturer omitted all discussion of the complicated mathematical elements involved in the astronomy of the moon. He stated that a most complete and exhaustive description of the moon's surface and condition was issued by two as- tronomers about seventy years ago, such as to act as a discouragement to all further study until within a very recent period. It was regarded as a settled fact that our satellite was an absolutely dead planet, devoid of all life and activity of any sort. Atmosphere and water were believed to be entirely absent; and the former volcanic energy, attested by numberless craters, had entirely disappeared. �THE FRIEND Recent study, however, has contradicted those conclusions. An atmosphere does exist, although extremely tenuous. A recent verification of this fact has been secured in a photograph of an occupation of the planet Jupiter, in which clearly appears on the face of that planet the characteristic bar produced by the refraction of the moon's atmosphere as the planet encounters the moon's limb. This seems to be a novel piece of evidence, hitherto unpublished ; but the presence of atmosphere is attested in other ways. The presence of at least the vapor of water is shown by deposits of what seems to be frost or snow in various localities. These diminish or entirely disappear as the advancing sunlight reaches them with its heat. Even after two hours of the Earth's shadow the space occupied by the white frost has been observed to be sensibly increased. The snow patches are often extremely brilliant, especially in hollows or crevices usually protected from sunshine. 'The existence of a rapidly growing vegetation is indicated by a quick development under the sunlight of a dark growth in various localities. The color of this appears to be gray rather than green, as it seems to be in the Martian "oases." Such vegetable life must be comparatively feeble, adapted to an extreme tenuity and dryness of the air. Yet it is incomparably remote from the absence of Life. The moon is no dead planet. Continued volcanic activity is proved by the comparison of several areas formerly mapped with minute care, with their present condition, showing extenOther sive alterations of the surface. changes are shown by recent photographs taken successively, proving eruptions of ashes and other matter to have been distributed. One stream of lava is plainly distinguished. As to resemblances of Lunar craters to those of Hawaii. Our large craters here, unlike most of those of other countries, are craters of engulfment, while Vesuvius, Etna and most of our globe's volcanoes are craters of explosion, built up by violent explosive ejections. Those of the moon are characteristically the same as these of Hawaii. The bottom, as it were, drops out of a large area in whose depths the eruptive action appears. Such are Haleakala on Maui, and Mokuaweoweo and Kilauea on Hawaii. And of like sort are most of the craters seen on the moon. The lecturer omitted to present any hypothesis as to the conditions producing such differences in volcanic activity, or why Hawaii should pattern after the moon. We have only the fact. Dr Pickering described the important theory established by Prof. George Darwin through calculations based on tidal action, and secular retardation in the speed of the earth's rotation, proving that the moon anciently formed a part of our globe, and was disrupted from it by its contracting bulk and its consequent increasing speed of rotation. After separation, the moon's action on the earth's tides acted a a brake to retard the'earth's rotation, while a converse action of the earth upon the moon gradually increased its distance and retarded the speed of its revolution in its orbit. The lecturer spoke of the connected theory that the exceptional breadth of this Pacific ocean indicates that the moon's substance was torn out of this side of our globe, leaving this ocean as the great scar of that loss. Hence, he playfully intimated, Hawaii, being central in the Pacific, may have a special connection with our satellite. To the present reporter, however, that Pacific theory appears wholly unfounded. The moon's separation must have occurred at a period long antecedent to any solidification of our globe's surface, while Earth was still "formless and void," and the "waters" or fluids "below" and those "above the firmament" were still unseparated. No assorting of materials could 'hen have taken place. The moon bore iway with itself an unassorted mass of fluids common to both. S. E. B. CHINESE EDUCATIONAL WORK By Rev. E. W. Thwing. Education embraces the two ideas of teaching and learning, for the word learn comes from a word meaning to teach; so that learning originally meant teaching one's self. Education then, is not an end but a means, and should prepare and train one to teach himself. Chinese education is insufficient, only training part of the mind, and not leading the student to think and investigate for himself. The memory, and powers of imitation are well developed, the student ever following well-established models; and this persistent copying of what has been done before, may have much to do with the great conservatism of the race. The Chinese boy at school has long hours of study, often from daylight to dark, but his work is chiefly to memorize the sayings of ancient sages. 7 THE OLD SCHOOL SYSTEM For many hundreds, and even thousands, of years China has had her institutions of learning all over the empire but her course of study has been most limited, and only a few subjects are considered. The Chinese system ; does not really educate, for it does not teach reason or individuality of thought. It does not teach a man how to teach himself. There is no learning to think about it. It is largely simple memorizing. Agassiz' three rules for study: "i, observe; 2, observe; 3, observe." would strike consternation to the Chinese pedagogue. To the Chinese it is memorize, imitate, copy. They are ever calling the attention of the student to what has been done in their illustriuos past. In the Book of Rites we read "For purposes of education the ancients, in their villages, had schools, in their districts had academies, in their departments had colleges, and in their principalities they had their universities." The commen tator tells us, however, that all these institutions of learning did not exist at one time, but flourished under different dynasties. As to the narrow sphere of these institutions, however, the philosopher Mencius said; "The academies, colleges, "universities and public schools established to promote education, were all designed to elucidate the five relative duties," i.e., yan, i, lai, chi, sun, or affection, justice, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness, as between father and son, prince and minister, husband and wife, seniors and juniors, and friends. That is, the many institutions of learning were, according to the sage, Mencius, all to studysimply the relative duties. If the student could write a correct essay on these subjects he was considered a scholar, whether he ever put them to practice or not. A Chinese professor in a college in Shanghai has well said: "The Chinese system is a fearful waste of energy and a death blow to mental vigor; and it is this system which has made a fossil of the nation." : HEW SCHOOLS. The old system is now fast passing New schools, new methods, western learning and careful study are taking the place of the old way. All throughout the length and breadth of that old empire of China is found a awakening. educational tremendous Educational work is becoming more prominent in all missionary effort. Young China is fast pushing to the front. away. �THE FRIEND 8 This school gives the small boys a good start, and is well named "PuiKei," which means "Strengthening the Foundation." From the very first it teaches the boys to think and act for themselves. These are the boys that will help China to be great. LITTLE SZ MKNO-I'ir. V Young Scholar ot China. Miss Butler goes on to tell how well one little fellow, Sz Meng'-piu conducted himself at the examination day: "Examination day had come, and each boy was anxious to do his best. Friends and patrons of the school were invited to attend. At half-past ten in the morning a goodly number being present, the examination of the different classes began and continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, with a ! short intermission in the middle of the day. The boys acquitted themselves well. As we were about to close, the teacher whispered in my ear that one boy had something to say. Permission little Sz Meng-piu step!| being given, ped on to the platform, and in a few well chosen words, expressed the thanks of the scholars first, to the In every large city in China, bright young boys from these new schools are to be met with. Often they arc dressed in a regular school uniform. During a recent visit in Canton, after several years' absence, the greatest change was noticed in the school work. pui-kei teachers, who had given patient care and instruction faithful to them throughout the year; and, thirdly, to those present, who by attending the examinations, had shown their interest in the school." HOOD WORKERS. The boys of this school are also taught to give and work for others. Five cents is quite a large gift for a small Chinese boy. It is equal to about too cash, or about the same to him as ioo pennies to an American boy. However, they were ready with their offerings at the time when their church needed repairs. Mah Took Shau made the presentation speech on behalf of his schoolmates. Speaking in a clear voice to Mr. Che, the elder of the church, he said: "Mr. Che lu-teng: We, the boys of the Pui-kei School, hearing that this house in which we worship every Sabbath is being enlarged and knowing that a great deal of money will be required to complete it, wish to do our part. To this end we have been saving our cash for weeks. The duck is now full, and this morning, with glad offering hearts, we present this small all His for Him thanking to the Lord, mercies, Amen." SCHOOL. One of the most interesting of the schools visited was the Pui-Kei school for smaller boys, in charge of Miss E. M. Butler of the True Light Seminary. These bright little lads begin their studies with reading, writing and arithmetic. They also have a good course of Bible study. Miss Butler says: "The school has already proved its usefulness as a means of bringing the children to Christ. Out of the original ten boys, nine have become Christians, and three or four have been added to the list of such as shall be saved, each year. After leaving this school several avenues of learning are open for their entrance. The High School comes first; after that the Fa Ti Theological Seminary, the Medical College, and the Christian College. Those who have entered the Fa Ti High School have ranked among the first in scholarship and deportment. One, now Dr. Mok, stood first in his class. Afterwards he took a four years' course in medicine, graduated with honor and received a prize for the highest scholarship." Little Jsz Meng-piu. Man Foo'k-shau presents the duck to Elder Che In-teng. Heavenly Father for giving them such Miss Butler, telling of that meeting, a good opportunity for study; secondfor ly, to their kind benefactress for her said: "That was a long speech looked Fook-shau, and the boys their Mah love and fostering care, and to �as if they would like to clap their hands. As the Elder received the duck and held it up, necks were craned to see it, and an audible smile went over the congregation when the Elder said, "This cluck is very fat and heavy; it has been well fed," and then he explained to those present how it had been fed. The boys had picked up tennis balls and sold pictures cut from periodicals, and instead of buying sweets with the money thus earned they had deposited it all in the duck, "And now today," he continued, "here is the duck full. It will hold no more. We must kill it and see what it is worth." He, followed by the boys, went to a side room where, with their little heads bending over a table and as close to the Elder as they could stand, they saw the duck's head knocked off and the money counted, which was found to amount to $3.53. That may seem a very small sum to any but the little boys in the Pui-kei School; but to them it semed great riches. And who shall say that to our Lord it did not seem as precious as the widow's mite." (It is of interest to note that Mr. Che Itt-teng is one of the new Chinese workers expected in Hawaii by the end of the year.) EDUCATION FOR GIRLS This is but one of the many schools of Canton that are making bright boys of a different type from the old Style. The little girls too are being taught as well as the boys. ()ne teacher in Canton says: "For many years past the little girls have been gathered into the True Light Seminary and into day-schools, and the work among them has been delightful. Many quite young girls have given their hearts to the Saviour. They are small stars, but they shed a beautiful light in their heathen homes, the light of Christianity; and with their true soul-winning fervor have labored for the conversion of parents, brothers and sisters. One little girl eight years old went home for the summer vacation and astonished her family by reading the Scriptures to them and praying with them every day." Education for boys and girls alike is what China needs. It is the educational work that has brought Japan to her position today; so it is only by true education that China can become strong. Here in Hawaii and America, many young Chinese boys are securing that training which will fit them to be leaders of men. The promise of the future is the widely opening door, to Sam's horses and mules in the Philipbetter educational opportunities for pines. the young people of China.

'The ditch, when completed will cost $500,000. The majority of the stock is owned by the Hind and Campbell-Parker estates. 'The Kohala plantations showed a great lack of foresight in allow ing this ditch to be owned by any others than themselves. They alone are to be benefited by it and they are in no portion to pay a high rate for water to outside parties. The ownership of this ditch by the plantations themselves would have done much to have built one central mill, where the cane of the whole district could have been ground,—a combination that should have been effected years ago.

E. B. T. GREETINGS FROM THE MAINLAND. Editor "Friend:" When Miss Helen Hillebrand, dele gate from Hawaii to the American Library Associatiein at Portland, ()regon. reported the Honolulu Library; she recalled the Long Ago, extending back into the last century as far as 1859! Kamehameha IV was Monarch of the Happy Isles. At his Royal Court David L.

The recording of it has pleased me—perhaps ■ few Kamaainas may appreciate cur momentary'lapse into the Long Ago! J. A. BREWSTER. MR. BURKE AND HIS RADIOBES. Mr. John P.tiller Burke, an eminent Irish scientist, now of Cambridge University, has lately created a strong sensation by developing in steti.ized beefbroth, microscopic particles which simulate microbe-germs. I le calls these "radiobes," because they are generated by the influence of Rad.um emanations. They seem to possess some elements of vitality, although they have failed to be reproductive. Very naturally it is suggested that the first origins of life may thus be accounted for. since more or less emanations of Radium doubtless existed in the earliest geological ages. The Agnostic is always eager to find ground for accounting for the Origin of Life on the globe, without reverting to the intervention of a Creator as the Theist does, and Mr. Burkes discovery is bailed with great interest as helping to dispense with God We would in begetting Primeval Life however, point out that while Radium may have been very active in the early ages, there cotthl kavt been no beef-tea there, nor any other organic solution, until after Life had begun 6p exist. Hence Mr. Burkes experiments throw no light upOn the Origin of Life. You have got to have at least some existing product of life to start with.

So the undecomposed product of life in beef-tea responds to the penetrative force of the electric ions from radium, in generating a semblance of living forms, yet lifeless. We have another notable example analogous to this. Chemists extract from coad-tar a j;reat variety of products, including dyes, which are often pr< duced from living vegetables, such as indigo. Rut no amount of chemical skill can combine those products, except from organic substances, once living. Coal tar, being an embalmed product of inultitudious forms of vegetable life. yields itself readily to the skill of the chemist for such purposes. Ineirganie matter cannot be so used.

This is due largely to the fact, that in the former the students are brought into intimate touch with the minds and hea.ts of their instructors, and receive strong individual impulses from them, while in the bitter they are rarely in close contact with any of the often highly accomplished scholars and scientists, who work far out of reach of the youthful and growing minds. The best work of the educator is rarely in active operation.

There was a safeguard in the law which amounted to local option, to the effect that a majority of property owners in a precinct could protest against the issuance of the license, and that license must be refused. But the protest isn't amounting to much so far; and chiefly because there is no one who cares enough about it to work up the protests.

What other than "mucker" results are those of the recent scandal? Betting and selling the game are not necessarily connected in most minds, yet they are but con secutive steps. Admitted that a betting man is a gambler (no great distortion of terms), and one can find lit tic fault with the conclusion that a gambler will sell any sport. If that seems "overdoing" it to you, take this as a canon of sportsmanship:—You must keep money out. 'That, at least for all amateur gentlemen's sports. Aye, if the contest is to be fair, money must be kept out, and an American crowd won't stand for any sport that is not fair. Now comes the connection with Sunday. We- may as well con fess that we do not know why the use of the day in such a way brings deterioration all along the line. To a Christian it is enough to say. God has spoken on the subject in the grand old book, and human experience goes to corroborate His word. Let that suffice. That it will not suffice to the non Christian is plain enough. Apropos of the above is the recent incident in Syracuse, N. V., recorded in the "( lutlook" of Aug. 5, in which Andrew I). White commends the' Roman Catholic Bishop in his remarkable announcement that he will deny Christian burial tv tluise "who die by accident on the Lord's day, having culp ably violated its duties and obliga tions." Without committing itself to the approval of the remedy proposed, the' "Outlook" expresses Its sympathy with the spirit and purpose of the' bishop's effort to combat the paganizing of American life, and quotes Dr. White as follows : Although I was brought up under Puritan ideals as regards Sunday, and they bad considerable effect upon nie'. they have been so far modified by observation and reflection that 1 am quite willing that the afternoon of Sunday, after the earlier religious services are over, shall be given to reasonable' rest and recreation, beyond indeed, what I formerly thought wise. Rut the extremes to which our communities have gone at length in appointing every sort of game and amusement through the morning hours, and of making Sunday ivsorts less and less decent, are such as to create just alarm among all thinking citizens." 'The Honolulu social clearing house' has its "catch-all." 'The rule is, "when in doubt as to know what to do with a perplexing question, chuck it at the Civic Federation." What wonder if such an over-stuffed receptacle should get clogged. 'To make up a Civic Federation that works, you have to take the parts from several other machines. In the change back and forth from machine to naamachine, these parts get rather worn. Speaking more, plainly, in judging of the net product of the Civic Federation, —its "output," it must be remembered that every man in it is supposed to be doing a man's work elsewhere.

Committee of the American Board has sent to each of its Corporate members a letter containing its declaration of principles governing ihe acceptance of contributions made to its treasury. For months the controversy has be'e'ii fought out with great acumen in the press of the nation. Little by little public opinion has crystalized on one side' or the other, and the committee feels that the time has come for testing the care-fully formed convictions of its corporate membership. The letter, besides carry ing the' Statement of principles, dwells upon the gravity of the situation raised by the controversy, and requests the corporate members to express their opinions upon the vexed question in order that the communications may assist the Board in forming Units decision i" annual meeting. doubtedly the' character of the replies will determine very largely the action to be taken at Seattle. After the decision is registered there, it is likely The' Prudential that the matter will slowly fade' from public memory. It seems as though there could be' but one way out of the difficulty and that is the one suggested in the statement of principles which is subjoined. While- strongly impressed with the side of the question so ably championed by Dr. Gladden, and at one time feeling that Christian duty seemed to point in that direction, a more careful and painstaking consideration of the issm-s and principles involved, have led to the conviction that the Prudential Committee is right. It may be that the Hoard will take action directing its officers not to seek gifts from individuals who are under fire because of anti-social ways of making money. This may be viewed as a wise Concession to the company of very devoted. high-minded and ("bristly men who have conducted the opposition in this I>• S. unique contest.
