Mother Parker was carried out in her chair and the two friends had a few minutes in which they could greet each other. �THE FRIEND. 4 THE ADVERTISER AND GAMBLING. The Friend has not expressed itself as forcibly as it would like in regard to the crusade against gambling as carried on by the Advertiser—the leading daily newspaper of these Islands. The Advertiser has made a very earnest and a very much needed expose of certain gambling houses which have been prominent and almost open in their brazen destruction of the morals of the community. It was impossible to get the police officials to attack the former gambling den on the corner of Fort and Hotel streets until Governor Carter and Sheriff Henry took the matter in hand. It has been as difficult to get the police to move against Moore's notorious den near Miller's restaurant. There are supposed to be rooms in other prominent places where gambling is carried on. W. 1). W. The Chicago & Alton Railroad Co. has issued rules for its employes, forbidding them to visit saloons, race tracks, dance halls or other resorts where liquor is sold or gambling permitted. It is a business matter. The railroad requires the best service the man can give. The service depends upon the habits of the man. Therefore the prohibition. The railroad company is not trying to reform men. It is not heading a crusade against vice or immorality. It is engaged in the railroad business. If that business is injured or affected by the bad habits of an employe, either the employe must quit his bad habits or quit the employment of the company. And thus does the strenuous requirement of this commercial age minister to morals. A man may pooh pooh sentiments about temperance and morality. He may say he will drink what he pleases. He may say the company pleases and go where he pleases. He may say the company is interfering with his personal liberty. It matters not. Everywhere he goes the necessity for sobriety and steadiness of habits confronts him. The employe is free to do as he pleases so long as he pleases to be decent. Which is after all the true measure of personal liberty. GOVERNOR FOLK'S TEMPERANCE SPEECH. At the Aurora Chautauqua, Governor Folk said: "Whenever a dramshop is open when the law savs it shall be closed, you will find that some one is getting graft. When the dramshop law is not enforced the gambling law cannot be, and the seed once sown the evil grows until it envelops everything. This republic is not agovernment of men,but a government of law. When a law is odious repeal it— don't let it be a dead letter. I am not an alarmist when I say that if the laws of the country are not enforced the republic will fall through the props of the laws on which it rests becoming decayed. "You often have heard that the dramshop laws cannot be enforced but they have been in St. Louis, St. Joe and Kansas City, and they will be as long as I am governor. They said grass would growin the streets of St. Louis. It hasn't. The city is more prosperous than it was when the dramshops were open on Sunday. The difference between now and then is that now families have food where they did not have it before, because the working head of the family spent his earnings in Sunday debauchery : STATE IS NOT HURT. "No state can be hurt by the enforceof the law. Everywhere you hear it said—where officials are uncovering rottenness —that 'they will injure their states.' There has been 25 per cent, greater increase of immigration into Missouri since corruption was exposed three and one-half years ago, than in any similar period of the state's history. "There has been 33 per cent, greater increase in the price of land in the same length of time than in any similar period. Revenues have increased to such an extent that I shall recommend a reduction in the tax rate to the next legislature. You see it pays to enforce the law, even from the sordid standpoint of business. "In Kansas City real estate has gone up more in the four months since the dramshop law has been enforced than it had in as many years. St. Joe is becoming one of the most thriving municipalities in the country. We have proved that it doesn't hurt a city to bring about a reign of law." ment BACKBONE. Mayor Minahan of Green Bay. Wis., has a spinal column of proper proportions for a public official. He is one of that type of men now attracting public attention, who regard a public office as a public trust to which they should be un- falteringly faithful. After touching a match to about three thousand dollars' worth of gambling tools, mostly taken from a saloon in that city, he said: "I am not seriously concerned about the length of my service to the j>eople of Green Ray in my present capacity, but I propose to have something to say about the quality of that service." THE SUMARAI OF JAPAN. W. I). WKSTKRVKLT. Read by Mrs. Caroline Castle Westcrvclt at the October meeting of the Woman's Board, Central Union Church. A Japanese writer in 1895 closed the preface of his condensed story of "Japan and the Japanese" with the following significant words: "The day after the naval victory in the Yellow Sea." He meant that Japan had won her first great battle with modern warships and the Chinese had been defeated. An American instructor of youth and student of history said as he looked over Japanese history: "They have been fighters from way back." Inazo N'itobe, in an excellent sketch of the highest ethical life of Japan, published in 1901, describes the military class — the Samurai—as "the Soul of Japan." and attributing to the generations of these soldiers the highest qualities of honorable knighthood. The code of these warriors consisted of maxims handed down from generation to generation and passed from person to person. The English love of fair play in fight was as genuine in ancient Japan as in England. The Japanese writer says: "The conception of Rectitude may be erroneous —it may be narrow —but Rectitude is the bone that gives firmness and stature." The acceptance of "right" as the basis of life led to what the Samurai called "Giri" or obedience to right reason—or in other words—the endeavor to obey the idea of duty—or as the English say—"Giri" is "fair play." Modern Japanese thinkers recognize that there was a tendency to make this idea of duty-doing degenerate into obedience to self-will, self-interest or into an excuse for wrong living, as when girls sold themselves into an evil life to provide means for their parents. Frequently as has been said the idea of the Samurai was narrow and erroneous—but after all it was noble—and was one of the very best foundations for "The making of a nation," and explains much of the mystery which has attended the rapid development of Japanese power and ability during the past fifty years. Courage almost necessarily accompanied this obedience to duty. It led the intelligent Samurai to count his own life worthless if it could be sacrificed with honor. IX-ath could come honorably by his own hand if apparent dishonor lay in living. �5 THE FRIEND Spartan endurance was an absolutt necessity in learning how to walk in the path of supposed duty. Anecdotes of fortitude and bravery and self-denial abound in Japanese literature. Even at this present time the descendants of tht Samurai count no task too low in Unsocial scale if thereby what is to them a higher end, can be secured, and here in Hawaii more ministers, teachers, merchants and household servants are Samurai than most of our householders realize. It is interesting to note that side by side w-ith the sterner side of Samurai life there was what the Japanese termed "Bushi no nasaki"—"The tenderness of a warrior"—a compassion, a regard for the suffering of others. This led to the development of that politeness which seemes to Europeans and Americans to be so frequently carried to an extreme, but which after all has a strong tendency to make any one somewhat tender in regard to the feelings of others. It is better to be over polite than to be over brusque. Naturally these and all other helpful principles of noble living, gained as they were, through much dim grasp of truth, resulted in loyalty to the Mikado and the government as one of the highest ends of life. In this way as Inazo Nitobe says, "The szvord came into power and played an important part in social discipline and life. The saying passed as an axiom which called 'the sword the soul of the Samurai.' The two swords which he carried in his belt "became a symbol of what he carried in his mind and heart loyalty and honor." Any study of the elements entering into the formation and growth of the Japanese empire—"The making of the nation"—must recognize the Samurai as the very heart blood which made and perpetuated the national life and strength. Dr. Griffis in his "Outline Study of Japan," recognizes the power of the Samurai character when he says that the Christian Samurai are the Flores Christi of Japan. They are the flowers of Christ—the Christian knights in Japan's crusade toward civilization. Dr. Griffis in the chapter devoted to "the making of the nation" lays great stress upon the development of this military class which we have been considering today, and upon its "thousand years of shining career" in the land of the Mikado. A class of men like the Samurai would not only be powerful in unifying and perpetuating a nation, but it is also easily seen that their training and combined unity of action prepared — them to receive and retain and grow into the most impressive forms of the life of other nations after their doors were opened to foreign influence. Dr. Griffis in his chapter on"The Island Empire" very accurately "Without war they have received seed— or leaven—from both the ()rient and the Occident. The elements of progress from beyond sea have come without the sword. The triumphs of the alien have been "brain victories." At first Japan was |>copled by inharmonious families, but as the years passed one family gained the ascendency and a Mikado known among the people as "the child of the sun" was the central power in government. Then speedily the military class developed and the princes surrounded by two sworded men, as loyal retainers, were feudal lords in the different provinces. Then later with many occasions of internal wars, various daimio families superseded each other in the Shogunate or rule of the military class under a shogun or general—and at last with the final overthrow of the Shogunate came the establishment of a legislature. Every change has depended upon the strong hand and self controlled spirit of the Samurai. It is this spirit which led the soldiers of Japan to become the devoted followers of "rectitude" or "obedience to duty" when it appeared under the form of wonderful and new truths— "brain forces" from the Orient or from the Occident. It is this spirit of "obedience to duty," as the Samurai understands duty, which is the foundation of the following description of "The Christian Samurai" by Rev. T. Harada, the earnest pastor of one of the Congregational Churches of Kobe. "Loyalty and filial piety demand from us nothing short of complete surrender of ourselves to our master or parents. It is the spirit of not living unto one's self, but unto our superiors. The Samurai considered it a matterof course that he should die fighting in front of his lord's house. That his life was not his own was his firm conviction. We may well say that the spirit of the ancient Bushi in his relation to his lord was essentially the same as that expressed by the apostle's words, 'For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself; for whether we live we live unto the Lord; and whether we die we die unto the Lord, whether we live therefore or whether we die we are the Lord's." This spirit of unity of interest between the government and its most powerful class of supporters made the Japan of the past and of the present. It is a like spirit which will make Christianity the Kingdom above kingdoms and the Christ— "King of kings and Lord of lords." A LETTER FROM REV. HIRAM BINGHAM ON THE LOST GILBERTESE DICTIONARY. Having incidentally heard how Ur. Bingham has been of late engaged, we requested him to give The Friend some account of his work. He has favored us with the reading of a letter to Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., Corresponding Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., which furnishes the facts. With his permission we give to our readers the letter in full, believing that they will be interested in all the particulars.—Editors of The Friend. (A Copy.) 1439 Alexander St., Honolulu, H., Oct. 14, 1905. Rev. Judson Smith, 1). I)., Cor. Sec. A. B. C. F. M. My Dear Dr. Smith:— In my brief letter to you of the 6th mst., I alluded to some literary work in which I had been especially engaged of late, and I remarked that I would write you more fully about it a little later. ()n the 27th of May, 1902, Mr. Channon wrote me as follows: "I have sent you on the 'Carrie and Annie' a copy of my Gilbert Islands Dictionary, as it is I also send you at present. * * the list of words we have without the definitions, thinking there may be some you may not have. Make what use of it you can, and keep it as long as you continue to do literary work; and then will you not let me have it back, with any notes you may have added." You may remember that in September, 1898, I loaned my own Gilbertese-English Dictionary (a manuscript) to a Mr. Frederick W. Christman, an English philologist, who had been touring throughout the Pacific in quest of philological material and had reached Honolulu; and that this manuscript has never been returned to me. I believe Mr. Christian's written statement that upon his near departure from here he put the manuscript into the hands of a Japanese porter of the club-house in which he was staying, with instructions to ring up a hack to return the book. Although not all of the 6,000 Gilbertese words which it contained had been defined, yet it contained so many definitions, and the correct spelling of all the Gilbertese words, that in my residence here in Honolulu, it was of much service to me in my literary work for that people, and the loss to me at least was very great; and I greatly appreciated a part of the statement in «n editorial paragraph in the Missionary * �6 Herald of December. 1898, p. 491, in which it was said: "Our profound sympathies go out to Dr. Bingham in the loss that he and the world have sustained." Without solicitation on my part the Hawaiian Government put an expert detective on the work of recovering the manuscript, offering a reward of $50 for its safe return, but this was without avail. I was too busy in the preparation of my Gilbertese Commentary on the New Testament to turn aside to prepare a tins dictionary. Upon this I was at work when in May, 1002, I received the copy of Mr. Channon's Dictionary of which I have spoken above. It was found to contain about 6,232 Gilbertese words, of which about 2,674 were defined, thus leaving about 3,558 waiting to be defined. In view of the virtual request of my associate, Rev. 1. M. Cbannon, that in addition to my making such use of it as I could, I would "add notes," and in view of the kindness he had shown in having a copy of his manuscript dictionary made for my use, I was wont to give a little time almost daily for some weeks to a revision of the work which he had already done. I had as a helper a Gilbertese man who when a boy received instruction on Apaiang, but who came with his father long ago (1880) to these Islands to labor on the plantations. Upon his return to the Gilbert Islands in October, 1903, with nearly all of the Gil- bertese colony then in these Islands, I ceased giving any attention to the Dictionary, devoting all my time to the Commentary. On this I was engaged when Mr. Channon arrived here on the "Morning Star" on the 15th of last July. He was here but a very few days. Naturally we spoke of his Dictionary, and in the course of the conversation I asked him from what source be had gathered the undefined words. He replied in substance that when Taing (one of his bright pupils who had accompanied him as far as Honolulu on his return to the States on his first furlough in the spring of 1897) was here, he had copied out the Gilbertese words from my manuscript, since lost. I had an impression that such a work had been done by that remarkable Gilbert Islander, Moses Kaure, whose history is given on p. 301 of the Missionary Herald for July, 1890, and so I had long before written to him about it, but it proved to he only a list of Acre Testament words to he used as the basis of a manuscript concordance for himself. Imagine then the peculiar pleasure which came to me from the statement of Mr. Channon. After the loss of my own dictionary I tried to find among my effects an old manuscript vocabulary into which THE FRIEND. Mrs. Bingham and myself, more than forty years ago, were wont to enter newwords which we from time to time heard, and which manuscript had been helpful to me in the compiling of my own dictionary in 1873-75, when we were residing on Apaiang. For a long time 1 could not find it, but one day it turned up. Upon careful examination I found that it contained about 3,600 words, common and uncommon ; that the majority of the rare words had been entered in Mrs. Bingham's handwriting, also their definitions. A strong feeling came over me that Mr. Channon should have the benefit of the labors of such a rare linguist as was my beloved wife; and not only he, but other Americans, or English, who might in coming years seek to labor for the spiritual good of the Gilbertese; and so, on the 21st of August, 1905, I dropped my work on the Commentary and began collating the two manuscripts. This results in my having secured from that old book (much of it closely and finely interlined, unused for thirty years), the definitions of no less than a thousand words more or less rare, in Mrs. Bingham's hand writing, besides many in my own. If now to Mr. Channon's 2.71*) we add Mrs. Bingham a I,(XX) and my own, (with some others), 1,300, we have a total of 5.00a Gilbertese words more or less defined. There still remain to be defined some 1.200. Scarcely any of them could he found in any books or quarterlies thus far printed in (iilbertese. and one might read a multitude of letters written by natives without finding one in which any of these words might chance to occur. What they mean I do not know, even if T may have known some of them thirty years ago. My memory is failing in my old age. and I rarely meet a (iilbertese. There may be among these 1,200 some words which might prove very useful in our missionary work. Should they be examined? If so, who shall do the work? Without a competent (iilbertese helper it would be impossible for me to do it. If my health would permit I would rejoice to take up my residence agwin on Apaiang, and not many weeks would pass before I would know more about those 1.200 words than I now do. Hut to entertain the thought would be unwise, especially as I am able to write my commentary by myself alone in this study. The question then arises, shall I now, after having spent about four hours a day on Mr. Channon's Dictionary for the last seven weeks, and having accomplished about all I can to advantage by myself, resume my work on the Com- mentary, awaiting further indications of Providence, or take immediate steps to secure a capable assistant ? Hoping scion to hear from you, I am cordially yours, HIRAM BINGHAM. very faithfully and Lahin, Maui. —Rev. S. Kapu, one of the instructors the Lahainaluna school, reports that the school C, E.

Put yourself in their place. at RAMS. TCHOIEYF Rev. I-:. W. Thwing. All the Chinese who are living in Hawaii, with very few exceptions, come from the province of Canton or Kwong Tung, which means the "Broad East." This province, which is situated in the South Eastern part of China, has for its Capital "Yeung-Shing" or the "City of Rams," commonly known as Canton. It is one of the chief com- mercial centers of the Empire, the New York of China, with a population of from one and a half to two million people. (her two or three thousand years ago. according to the old Chinese story, five genii came riding through the air, on five rams, and founded this ancient city, and to-day one of tho principle gates is called the "Gate of the Five (ienii." It is a wonderful city, with its more than 600 streets, many of them very crooked and narrow, an ideal city in which to lose one's way. It is surrounded by a wall 20 ft. thick and 30 ft. high, with some twelve gates. At night these gates are all shut, but from early morning until dark there is one constant stream of busy humanity passing in and out. It is a great place to see Chinese life and study Chinese ways. Through one of the gates we may see a Chinese official riding in his sedan chair. Another official may be following on a small pony. Perhaps next will come a procession of blind beggars, each leaning on the shoulders of the one in front. Then will come burden bearers of all kinds, shouting their various cries to clear the road. �F THE RIEND. 7 A SHRINE AT THE RIVER CANTON FROM THE RIVER. A CITY OF BOATS. But one's first view of Canton is from the river. Taking a fine river steamer from Hongkong, some 90 miles to the south, after about eight hours' journey, the city is reached, and it looks at first like a city of boats. Nearly 100,000 people are living in boats along the river front. And long before we can make fast to the Canton wharf, we seem surrounded by these boats of all sorts and sizes. Some crying for passengers, ■others making ready to take off the steamer's freight, and all fighting for a first place at the steamer's side. Here are little slipper boats with their sharp pointed toe. One of them is seen in the picture. They are the express boats of China. There arc "sampans," ferry boats, curiously built junks, with their high sterns reaching far out of the water, and with great painted eyes on their bows to see the way in the dark. The river front of Canton is changing much in these days and tall chimneys are here and there seen, showing the coming of the modern work shops. The two tall spires of the Catholic cathedral have long been one of the landmarks of Canton. As one has passed up the river several small temples or shrines at the river front have been noticed. One maybe for the "Goddess-Mercy," where the women come to worship. Another perhaps is for the sailors who come to these little river shrines to pray for a good and successful voyage as their junks start out. STRKKTS OF CANTON.

This is but an example of the superstition of these people -who have not learned the truth. A visit to the "Temple of Horrors," to the "Temple of 5000 Idols," and other such places would only show more of the darkness of old Canton. A NKW CANTON. But changes are coming thick and fast in Canton. The dim light of a wick, burning in a little cup of oil, has given place to the brighter light of the candle, this again to the lamp, and now even in far away Canton the lamp makes way for the electric light. New schools, new churches, new shops, new trade and commerce are stirring up the people of this old city. They are becoming fully alive to the new opportunities. The government is building a fine bund to face the water front. The steamboat ferries and new railroad are carrying the people back and forth and stirring them out of their old ruts. After an absence of six years from Canton, a visit there shows most remarkable changes. The new buildings on the Fati side of the river make a The new splendid improvement. Christian college buildings are going up a little further down below the city. The students of many of the new schools are adopting a fine school uniform. The people come eagerly for the new learning, to the churches and schools, yet they feel much indignation at the actions of Western nations. "China is awake, but not in the best temper, as is the case with one sudden- ly, unwillingly roused. She is at school, but dislikes her teachers; a bright, but stubborn pupil; ambitious, yet selfconceited. She tolerates the presence of foreigners; admits innovations, not from conviction, but motives of prudential policy and for self-preservation ; guarantees to foreign representatives the residence and audience befitting their mission; to merchants, immunity from obstructive interference, and to the missionaries, 'more than usual high consideration,' as runs the imperial rescript of 1862. How far these international stipulations have been maintained old residents can answer." Thus speaks a recent writer on China. She is certainly qwake to-day, and desirous of seeing her country powerful and prosperous. Here in this great commercial center of Canton, the people want to see a new China. They want China to have a place among the nations of the world. They are seeking for just and fair treatment by others. BOYCOTT AT CANTON. The Anti-American feeling and boyhere as in other parts of China. At the very popular Chinese "Moon-feast" held about the middle of September, the necessary "Mooncakes" were made of rice flour and other things, rather than to use any of the fine American flour which of late years has come into such common use. The Chinese ladies of the city have declared that this year, none made of the usual flour shall be bought. They will not buy from restaurants, the fancy cakes and confections, unless they give up the use of the American flour. So here in Canton, families as well as merchants are joining earnestly in giving to America the lesson she needs. It is unfortunate that trade has to be cott is strong interrupted in order to secure a fairer treatment of the Chinese by America. But it seems to be the only way to bring to America a realization of the importance of this Oriental trade. If by unjust treatment of the Chinese. China's trade is turned from America to other countries, it will be a difficult matter to regain that trade. 'The more educated Chinese are thinking deeply, to-day, of America's treatment of her people in the United States. illl \i:si'. EXCLUSION. One constant topic of conversation, in Canton as elsewhere in China at present, is the subject of Chinese exclusion. The better class of Chinese you meet every where are talking about it, and insisting on better treatment. They cannot understand why their people are treated so unjustly by Americans. Granted that more Chinese laborers are not permitted to enter the United States in great numbers, those who are already there should be allowed to have their wives and children with them. What must they think of such laws, which do not permit of a wife to come to her husband? Exclusion laws may continue, but they must be modified. Examinations must be made beforeleaving China, rather than at San Francisco. Chinese gentlemen must not be treated with discourtesy and insult. The home life of those Chinese now in America must be allowed and encouraged. Let new laws be made with a spirit of justice and moderation, and they will command the respect of both Americans and Chinese alike. With right laws, the old feeling of friendship for America will come back, and China and America will both benefit alike. �THE FRIEND. 9 sponsible for the action of agents, of whom a leading Before leaving Canton, if one has Rev.

A trip to Canton is one that will leave an impression on every visitor never to be forgotten. THE HAWAIIAN BOARD VERSUS DANCING. In the daily papers of Honolulu for October 14th there appeared the following notice: The following resolution was unanimously passed by the committee on Hawaiian interests under the Hawaiian Board: Resolved, That the Hawaiian committee hereby expresses our hearty disapproval of the action of the Church in Ewa in planning a dance in connection with the proposed concert for the benefit of the Church. And we desire our members who have charge to exert themselves to do away with that part of the program, and we are thoroughly assured of the full agreement of the whole Board in this matter. S. E. BISHOP, Chairman. Honolulu, October 13, 1905. We, the undersigned, who have acted in behalf of the Ewa ChuTch, hereby express our cordial agreement with the views of the committee and would announce that the proposed dance will ac- cordingly be omitted. E. S. TIMOTEO. F. K. ARCHER. The facts are these: A statement had been published on the previous day that on Saturday evening, October 14, a Church concert would be held in the pavilion at Pearl City, accompanied with dancing, for the purpose of raising funds for the proposed removal of the Ewa Church edifice from Waiawa to Pearl City. A meeting was therefore hastily summoned of the Hawaiian Committee to avert this impropriety. While the Board can exercise no Ecclesiastical authority .over the Churches, an authority vested solely in the Evangelical Association and the respective Island Associations, it is peculiarly re- its salaried one is the involved in in their action. Mr. Timoteo has proved himself a very devout and efficient laborer in evangelistic work among the Hawaiian Chnrches, and in solving and removing their many pilikias, or difficulties. For the past few months he has been directed to give special attention to the Church at Ewa, which had become wretchedly disorganized by the erratic (possibly insane) conduct of its late pastor, T. M. Ezera, who had set up as the prophet of a new and immoral religion. Air. Timotc-o's diligent efforts appear to have been very wise and successful in restoring union and spiritual activity. Unfortunately our esteemed worker was misled into a consent to the proposed introduction of dancing into the attractions of a Church festival for raising money. This involved the Board, who have accordingly admonished their excellent employee, and he has withdrawn from his unseemly position. He had been not unnaturally misled by the knowledge that dancing has extensively made its way into Evangelical families and schools. In taking this action, the Board do not at all pronounce upon tne propriety of individual Christians participating in formerly prohibited amusements. This action relates entirely to the impropriety of dancing forming a part of a Church festival. In this it does not go beyond what appears to be the practice of the very liberal Protestant Episcopal Church, as well as the universal sentiment of our Evangelical Churches. Apparently, however, the prevailing sentiment among the members of our Board is decidedly adverse to dancing by Christians at all. S. E. B. . RELATION OF THE HOME TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Rev. A. S. Baker. (Continued Citizenship. As soon as a child begins to learn anything it knows that it is a citizen of the United States. It does not have to agree to this for itself, but it finds that it is a citizen. It is only if it should refuse to be a citizen that it would have to do something. Then it would have to leave the country and live somewhere else, and become a citizen of another country where it was not born. Now it is just the same way with the Christian life, in regard to which we read in (Phil. 3:20) the Bible that our be citizens of the United States and children of our parents, but this is not the natural or right thing to do. As a citizen of the United States every child learns to keep its laws, it goes to school, and later votes, and does its part in life. Just so as a citizen of heaven it wants to know and keep Us laws, and do its part in life, so as to be ready for that truly real life, that spiritual life which is eternal. This is the true secret of Christian training; bring up your child as a Christian, not as though you were working to get it to become one. The only way to do this is by having the Spirit of Christ rule all your life. Make your home indeed a Christian home. The first church of God was in a home. And it was in a home that the Holy Spirit descended with power upon the early Christians. This may be repeated in your home, if you become a household of faith. J. Hudson Taylor said, "If mother and father, if sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house are not better and happier for your being a Christian, it is a question whether you really are one." Home Influence. Have your child baptized in infancy, as a sign of God's provision for it, and a pledge by you that it will be brought up to know God, its Father, and his loving care for it. Not only guide your own life by the law of Christ, the law of love and service, but show all the outward signs of a Christian life. Ask the blessing of God before you partake of food. Establish family prayers at sonicconvenient hour of the day, even if the time must be but brief. With all your family sing praise to God. Make it as natural to talk of religious subjects as of business or pleasure. To do this never put on a peculiar tone when you talk about God. Above all do not expect the child to be an old Christian. It is not like a grown-up in anything else, why should it be in its Christianity? A Christian is one who has begun to love what is good, and expects to become good with God's help. A child will have to struggle with the bad as we all do, and we must not expect him to be perfect. Perfection lies at the end of the journey, not at the beginning. A child shows his feelings without disguise. You may be just as unchristian inside. If a child loses his temper, do not tell him that he is not a Christian, but be patient with �10 THE FRIEND him. Judge a child toward religion as vuii would with reference to anything else. Teaching. Some definite teaching is always necessary, though your own faithful Christian life will do most; if you make your life pray as well as your words. Teach the child to feel a love for God, dependence upon him, and sorrow for any wrong done because it grieves him. Do not try to give children grown-up teaching. Definite doctrines or beliefs belong to a later period. But let them know that all do wrong, though God is displeased with wrong in deed or thought; that so we need a new disposition toward the right, and that Jesus came to give it to us; that when we are sorry for wrong he loves to forgive us, and that when \\ c are weak and tempted he will hear our prayer and help us, and by bis Holy Spirit give us strength. And remember (Mk. 10:14) that Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not; for to such belufigeth the kingdom of God." Praise all good, and make wrong hateful. Yet I would emphasize again the necessity of living Christ more than you preach him. Keep children in an atmosphere which expects them to be religious. It is too often true that those who most carefully and tenderly provide for all the physical wants of their children and even sacrifice much for their good, leave all care of their souls to chance outside influences. Yet you are as responsible for this as for their intellectual education. It is not enough to bring them up to be good. Who can keep good, if he has not an experience of the love and care of God, his Father? It is nonsense to wait until a child can understand the whole of Christianity. Who of us docs understand the whole of Christianity? I do not. Thank God, it is not necessary to be understood by any one, and the life of loving service, which Jesus showed us was the life of God. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life." The life of this world is so complex that not one of us can live by himself. Every one exerts a personal influence on every one else with whom he comes in contact, greatest of course in the home where contact is closest. It is not at all necessary to plan to exert a bad influence in order to do so. So the greatest care should be taken to exert a Christian influence, where influence is strongest and on those for whom we are most responsible. I'Nh'AVOKAIII.K I lo.MI'.S. 1 have had parents who were continually living a life of sin before their children ask to have a child baptized. What does this mean? It means that such parents desire a Christian character for their children without the trouble of giving it to them themselves. They forget that those parents who present their infant children for baytism, are supposed to pledge themselves to train these children to understand its meaning. Such parents send their children to Sunday School for the same reason, but except for the grace of God what a small chance the Sunday School would have when there is no backing in the home. All children need constant encouragement, not only to attend the Sunday School regularly, but to study the lesson, with Bible and Quarterly study it with them. It is a tine opportunity for religious talk and discussion. You are responsible for your children, not the Sunday School. The Sunday School helps the home. If occasionally it gives character to your child in spite of your life, thank God, but do not trust to that again. I am out of patience when 1 hear people speaking of Sunday School children who have gone bad, as though the Sunday School had not done its duty. 1 tell you the trouble is in the home, nine times out of ten ; and 1 will say the same also when it is a supposedly Christian home. Not that the home can be perfect, but it should be understood that this is the aim and that there can be progress. If your child goes wrong investigate your own Christian character, and the life of your home. Is it all it ought to be, even if there is not any real vice? Truth is not taught, so much as lived. Your example is going to he taken as an explanation of the truth, whether you like it or not. Favorable Homes, yourselves. Rejoice with all your house, because you believe in God, as did so many in the early days of the Christian church, and Christianity will become such a force in the land as we have scarcely dreamed of. They have power, to whom we may say, (2nd T. 3:14-15) as was said to Timothy, "Abide thou in the things which thou hast learned ami hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou has learned them; and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in (2nd T. 1:5) Christ Jesus." 'Having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded, in thee It, so. HOME < lITOKTfNITV. What then is the home to do? Everything! Just leave the Sunday School to supplement the home. Everyone Will grant that a parent's influence is the strongest influence that can be brought to bear upon another, and that it is exerted at just the time when influence is most powerful. To illustrate this; 1 presume you have heard of the two lit- tle boys overheard talking together. ()ne of them made a certain statement which the other one showed could not well be true. "Well," said the first boy, "My mother said so, and if my mother said so, 'tis so, if 'taint so."

Not that the number of Clubs has been increased but the life of the Clubs previously formed has been strengthened. Many new members have been added. 'The Kauluwela Clubs are especially vigorous at the present time. 'The new swimming pool, connected with the Hoys' Field, is no doubt partially responsible for this renewed life. The Kalihi Club under the leadership of Mr. Snodgrass is becoming more and more popular with the boys of this section of the city. This Club ought to be one of the strongest of tincity, as there are scores of boys within easy access. No Junior Club has mote "esprit dc corps" than the Kamehameha Preparatory boys. During the summer months this Club was disorganized, owing to vacation, and consequently could not hold their baseball team together. Hut they are now ready for Club work, and are busily engaged in practice for the coming Track Meet and the Indoor Bascabll games. He-cause of the adverse decision by the Clubs' Management, giving the Baseball championship to the Excelsiors—the Japanese Hoarding School— the Palama Seniors were inclined to he a little tardy in reporting for the new year's work. However, Mr.Rath has succeeded in getting most of the disgruntled ones into line again. These boys are learning the very important truth that it is not so much the victorywon, as how it is won. Playing boys over age is becoming a serious offence in Honolulu boydom. Mr. Robert Anderson, the champion cricketer of the city, is helping manage the Palama Juniors. Our Clubs arclooking for more just such men. The Kauluwela boys are transforming the room above the swimming pool into a gymnasium. 'They are putting in a horizontal bar, ladders and a punching bag. The flying trapeze and the spring board over the water, is popular beyond expectation. The boys are here learning to handle themselves in a way they could not learn else- where. In turning a somersault over the water there is no law of nature that demands lighting on the feet. Other methods of meeting the water are allowable. The Hate Aloha—the Kauluwela Coffee House, is largely patronised by our Club boys. They find it open six nights in the week with bright lights, attractive tables and good games. There can be no doubt of the expulsive power of such places to drive out the baneful influence of the saloon. Tlu- Kauluwela teams enjoy the close proximity to the Boys' Field, And they improve their opportunities. In the Field Meet lo be held Nov. 4th. these Clubs will be among the leaders. The Hoys' Field was never looking prettier. The large oval is completely grassed over now and it makes the finest play ground in the city. The grass grows so fast that the Management has ordered a horse mower from the States. The track will now receive more attention. ( )ur Field Day this year happens to fall upon Arbor Day. This fact will be taken advantage of and the different Clubs will plant trees along the mauka side of the field. These trees will not only beautify the place, but will act as a wind brake. Indoor Baseball has so enthused both the Junior and Senior Kawaiahao Clubs, that under the efficient managership of Messrs. Hemenway and Thayer and Messrs. DutOt and Rob bins, they have taken on new life. They are making the best of the Kawaiahao Church basement until a more suitable Club room can be found. 'The Excelsior Club, having no proper room for indoor games of its own, is practicing one night in the week at Palama Chapel. A series of Indoor Baseball games has been arranged. The Juniors play two games every alternate 'Tuesday night, while the Seniors play alternate 'Thursday nights. There are four contesting teams in each series. CENTRAL UNION CHURCH NOTES. Rev. E. B. Turner A letter from Dr. Kincaid announces his safe arrival in San Francisco after a very rough trip on the Alameda during two days of which he never left his berth. He immediately departed for Seattle intending to spend one day at the Portland Fair. He travelled East over the Canadian Pacific. He expected to meet Mrs. Kincaid and his daughter Anna at Williamstown, where his son Douglas is a sophomore in Williams' College. After ten days amid the beauties of the Berkshire Hills, the family would proceed to Groton, Conn. Dr. Kincaid has been asked to preach on Oct. 22nd in the Elliot Church at .Newton, Mass. He and his family are expected in Honolulu the twenty-first of November on the S. S. "Mongolia." During Dr. Kincaid's absence. Dr. Daniel Shcpardson is very ably filling the pulpit of Central Union Church. Dr. Shcpardson's sermons'are simple, persuasive and strictly gospel, His Wednesday evening Prayer Meeting expository talks on Paul's Prison Letters are very helpful. On Oct, 2nd, Dr. Shcpardson addressed the Ministerial Union on the subject. "Present Religious Conditions in the United States." He gave four elements of power in the minister of today: (1) Prayer. (2) Personal Work. (3) Knowledge of the Bible. (4) An Inspired Life. Dr. Shcpardson has consented to address the Ministerial Union again on the subject of "Bible Study." A reception was held for Dr. and Mrs. Shcpardson on Thursday evening, Oct. K)th in the lecture room of the Church. A large number gathered to welcome Dr. and Mrs. Shcpardson and to listen to an interesting program of music and reading. On Oct. the 23rd, Dr. Shcpardson began an afternoon series of BibleReadings on the Epistle to the Hebrews. Christian workers of all denominations were invited. 'The Bible 'Training Normal Class is proving a great help to Sunday School teachers and other Bible students of the city. It meets every Monday night at 7:30 in Central Union Church parlor. It is under the efficient leadership of Mr. W. L. Clark. The department of Child Nature Study is also in the hands of experienced teachers —i. c. The Misses Lawrence, Cross and Fclker, Mrs. Livingston and Messrs. Home and Griffiths. It is felt that a successful Sunday School teacher must umkrstand Child Nature as well as his Bible. The text book used by the class is Hulburt's Normal Lessons. The Training Class for the young, which meets Friday afternoons at three o'clock, is about to take up the study of the Parables of the Bible. The gaps in our Bible School Teaching Force are gradually being filled in. Our teacher problem is a serious one. �THE FRIEND 12 Many of the Honolulu scholars are so migratory that they re(fuire an especial amount of looking up. On Oct. the 27th, the Christian Endeavor Society of the Church will give an entertainment and a supper for the benefit of one of its members who has been confined to the hospital for nine months and who has been urged to take a trip to the coast for recuperation. EMERSON TABLET BY ST. GAUDENS. An interesting memorial service was held last Sunday at the Waialua Church. The occasion was the unveiling of the bronze tablet which has been placed on a boulder lying on the Emerson burial lot near the churchyard. A good congregation of both Hawaiians and foreigners resident in the district was present, together with the members of the Emerson family. A sermon, which drew much of its illustration from the lives of Father and Mother Emerson, was preached by Rev. O. P. Emerson. After the close of the services held in the church, the congregation filed out to the grave and witnessed the unveiling of the tablet. Dr. Emerson delivered an address. Mr. Mahaulu. a deacon of the church and an old retainer of the Emerson household, made a response; the choir sang and Rev. Keliipio, the pastor, offered prayer and the simple service was over. The tablet, which is set into the face of an unhewn boulder and firmly riveted to it, and which bears in a corner of it the initials of Augustus and Louis St. Gaudens as its designers, tells the parentage, birth and death of Rev. John S. and Ursula Sophia Newell Emerson, and the fact that the Waialua Mission was established by them, and that there, from the year 1832 till the end, with a brief absence of four years spent at Lahainaluna Seminary, they lived and labored for their beloved Hawaiian people.—P. C. Advertiser, ()ct. 10. Father and Mother Emerson were eminent for stability of character and purpose, added to many other attractive virtues, as was evinced by their long continuous service at one station, where Mrs. Emerson lived for 52 years. It was well that four sons were able to gather around the graves, seventeen years after the Mother's decease. The designer of the bronze tablet is , brother-in-law to Rev O P Emerson ... and of great eminence as an American sculptor. The present writer well remembers the arrival of those then young missionaries in 1832, and their gathering, nineteen in number, in the parlor of the old Bingham house still standing on King street. There have been greatly honored names among them and among their children. S. E. B. EVOLUTION—RACIAL HABITUDINAL. By Rev. John T. AND Gulick. Published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, August, 1905. The author sends to The Friend this closely printed volume of 281 pages. It merits especial notice, both on account of the scientific eminence already secured by Doctor Gulick, and because the facts and conditions upon which his treatise is based were observed and collected by him in early life, before he had ever left his native country, Hawaii. Eighty-six pages of the book are occupied by preliminary publications upon the same subject, mainly three issued by the Linnean Society in 1872, 1887, and 1889. These gained for Dr. Gulick a leading position among writers upon Evolution, with especial recognition by Wallace and Romanes. This book contains three exquisitely colored plates of the land shells known as Achatinellidtp, with a map of the numerous parallel valleys of Oahu which were carefully explored by the youthful John Gulick more than fifty years ago, each species being assigned to its respective valley, where its isolation developed its peculiar characteristics, although the environments remained identical in all the valleys. Doubtless no other so perfect an opportunity for the study of such peculiar conditions of evolution of species is afforded elsewhere on the globe. It was improved by the young Gulick with marvelous intelligence and assiduity, and has formed the basis of subsequent life-study of the laws of Organic Evolution. This study was enlarged by thorough exploration and comparison of the numerous publications since Darwin upon the science of Evolution. With the peculiar light derived from these Oahu valleys, the author develops and demonstrates especial laws governing the Evolution of Species, which widely modify, and even subvert those presented by the earlier apostles of this science, and which especially contravene certain radical conclusions of Herbert Spencer and others, who make Environment the sole arbiter of results. These observations upon the bookare made after a most hasty and imperfect dip into the great profundities and complexities of the volume which, however, is lucid and almost fascinating in style. It also evinces wide and exhaustive erudition in the whole literature of the subject, as well as acute discrimination in the use of a very complicated terminology. We have no hesitation in predicting for Doctor John T. Gulick the highest rank among writers upon this great and important branch of science. We are not the less inclined thereto for that he is a son of Hawaii, and has been a devoted pioneer missionary in Mongolia, and of later service in Japan. S. E. B. HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. The Hilo Boarding School opened in September in the new building. So much interest and enthusiasm have been felt in the construction of this new school, that the opening day found most of the old boys and many new ones on the ground, eager to begin work. The class rooms are on the first floor. They are so convenient and cool that they are an incentive to good work. And while we are having much rainy weather, it is a comfort to know that the boys are passing under cover from class to class. The second floor is devoted to dormitory purposes. There are forty individual rooms. These are occupied by the older boys. Among these there are but three empty rooms. The only furniture provided is an iron bed and a mattress. It is interesting to observe the individuality and good judgment displayed in beautifying these rooms. Many of the boys have made for themselves tables, book shelves, writing desks and stools. Added to these neat curtains and a few pictures have made very home-like rooms. We have one dormitory for the small boys—this is a large airy room in the main part of the building. The three rows of lockers divide it into apparently four rooms. There are still a number of empty spaces in the dormitory which we hope to see filled before very long. The first and second floors are con- �THE FRIEND sidered finished and in order—excepting that two of the class rooms are temporarily and very meagrely furnished. The work in the basement is still in progress. This will necessarily take some time to finish as the school boys are doing this work out of school hours. All the most needed basement rooms are already completed and in use. These arc the dining room, the kitchen and sewing room, and the store rooms, the two rooms for the wood work department, the dispensary and the lavatory. The entire basement floor is to be of concrete and this is growing gradually. We have bought no new furnishings, but the old furniture, cleaned and varnished really looks very well. The only trouble is we have not enough. Hut this want must wait till the building is paid for. Unfortunately, there still remains a debt of between five and six thousand dollars, on the building. We pray for donations to clear the debt. In the mean time we shall not idly wait for blessings to fall into our hands. While the regular school work goes on as usual, plans are progressing to entertain the public with a fair and luau on Thanksgiving Day. Rev. S. L. Desha and Mrs. Julius Richardson have this in charge. We would say at this time to those who have not felt able to contribute heretofore in large sums that there is now an opportunity to assist either by contributing toward the fair and luau or by donating sums of money according as your ability or inclination may suggest. L. C. LYMAN, Principal. Several others are expecting to join soon. The Mcßryde Sugar Co. employees are organizing a local library and the first order for books has gone forward. Mr. J. M. Lydgate has the matter in hand. The Hanapepe Sunday School has been much strengthened and enlarged because of the interest and aid given by the public school teachers at that place. The same is more or less true of other Sunday Schools on the Island. Judge J. H. Kahele of Nawiliwili, a Hawaiian of rare wisdom and high character, is seriously ill. He carries the sympathy of a wide circle of friends and well wishers. Hawaiian pastors condemning the new liquor law say that we will never get righteous laws till the ministers go to Legislature ! Pela paha ! The semi-annual session of the Kauai Association was held at Lihue, Oct. 18-19, ar, d was regarded as one of the most important in many years. Among other matters attention was called to the great increase in licensed saloons under the new law. Seven being reported from the district of Hanalei which has a smaller population than any district on the Island. Rev. J. M. Lydgate said that he had given some attention to the matter and found that many of the names on the petitions for iicenses were those of church members, and in some cases even of deacons. This was at once a deplorable and disgraceful condition of things. These saloons were agencies of the Devil and no man making any pretense to Christianity should for a moment concur in the nefarious business. Mr. W. H. Rice and others heartily approved of this position and a resolution was passed emphatically conThere is a widespread and growing demning the new liquor law, and in- NOTES FROM KAUAI. intensity of feeling on Kauai against the new liquor law and the way it is working, coupled with the growing conviction that licenses are being granted with an off-hand readiness which would indicate an interest on the part of the Territorial Government in granting them. At the "Ministers' School" recently a course of study was initiated on the more important teaching of Christ, beginning with "The Kingdom of God." It was enjoyed by the ministers as a specially interesting and valuable session. The Koloa Union Church under Rev. J. M. Lydgate received four new members on Sept. 17 on confession of faith. structing the individual churches and their members to be active and alert in limiting the number of saloons and enjoining church members from signing petitions for licenses. In response to the question as to whether or not drunkenness had increased under the new law, there was no uncertain response. The small hole in the barrel had injured the community, the larger one was flooding it with evil. A grave question of discipline came up before the Association ; charges of a very serious nature involving drunkenness and an attempt to commit a heinous crime were preferred against the Delegate from Hanalei. The matter 13 Dr. Shepherdson in a recent lecture said, and most reverent bible scholars agree with him— that the American Revised Bible is the best. Such evangelists as G Campbell Morgan use it and it recommend it. It is claimed that it is nearer to the original meaning and nearer to present English usage. If so, we ought to use it. The Hawaiian Board Book Rooms are ordering a variety of these bibles. When you get your Sunday School Supplies, from whom do you get them ? Perhaps you did not know that we order extensively and keep a good line of samples. Dintinctively C hristian books are not found in many places in Honolulu. We keep some and keep the catalogues of most of the publishers. " Why do we do this order business ?" Why, to serve the Christian public, and to help pay our heavy office expenses as well. Warrant enougn! A good modern Song book has come to us, the "New Century," containing many of the good old hymns and a good selection of usable new ones. We can put it into Sunday Schools for 29c. a sized orders. piece in HAWAIIAN BOARD BOOK ROOMS, 400 Boston Building. �THE FRIEND 14 was referred to a committee, which found that the charges were well sustained by abundant evidence, and were finally confirmed by confession of the delegate himself. He was promptly suspended from the Association. Careful inquiry revealed the fact that the Hanalei church was ignorant of his moral lapses at the time of his election, but his general reputation is such as to render him an unsuitable person to represent the church. A resolution was passed recommending the churches to use the utmost care in selecting suitable men as delegates. A discussion in regard to the administration of the Lord's Supper revealed the fact that there was need for more liberal views to meet new conditions. Many of the, members of the Association' considered it as an unwarranted in novation and a departure from the faith of the fathers to include "members of other evangelical churches in good standing" in the invitation to participate in the sacrament. A committee appointed for the purpose examined into the matter of church deacons 011 Kauai, and appointed to each church a number suitable to its needs, the deacons when elected to serve for a limited term. 'The pastors of Kauai were also appointed a committee to visit the churches, supervise the election and installation of these deacons. It is hoped that a complete new deal will removemuch dead and doubtful not to say injurious material, and give the churches more confidence in their officers. \ special feature of the session was body the visit of the Association in a Mother. Missionary veteran to the Mrs. M. S. Rice, extending to her their congratulations and good wishes on attaining her B<;th birthday. The meeting of the Association was followed by the "Minister's School" under the leadership of Rev. J. M. Lydgate. The time was devoted to serine 11 outline criticism. 'The Sunday School and Young People's Associations met at the same time and place and developed a good deal of interest in their respective lines. J. M. LYDGATE. HAWAIIAN MISSION SOCIETY. CHILDREN'S A mighty wave may sweep the deck of a ship at sea, and carry a man out into the seething water, and a return bring him to the deck, unhurt. ; do not look for waves to do this d of thing regularly; in fact, we nd in awe at such an occurrence, Ive and say: The finger of God is in it! Something like this feeling has been caused by the recovery of two missionary families, who, in the mighty swings of two generations ago were launched forth from our missionary ship. Not lost, but only parted company ; and we, at least, were in a fair way to forget everything about them. Our first recovery was that of the Van Duzee family, and it came about through some kind of a notice inserted in a Buffalo paper by Mrs. R. G. Moore of this city, then visiting in Buffalo, which caught the eye of Miss (irace G. Van Duzee, and resulted in a little four-page note from her to the Society. What we already knew (for it was on record here) was that Mr. and Mrs. Van Duzee came out with the great reinforcement of 1837. and were as signed very soon to the Kaawaloa station as teachers, and returned to the States, with their children, in 1840. Now we know- that he was called doctor, though he did not bear that titlewhile here. Perhaps he proved himself a kahuna lapaau to the Seneca Indians, among whom he labored on the Buffalo reservation but we need not suppose that he wore his honors without studying for them. We used to : credit the family with five children ; but now we know that there were ten children, though only seven grew to maturity, and six are now living. Let me (piote : "Gyrene O. was a missionary for 16 years in Eastern Turkey, and 14 y ars in Persia. She has been living in Lancaster. X. V.. but expects to reside in Gouverneur, St. Lawrence Co., X. Y.. after the middle of September, ( 1905). Mary K. is a missionary at I'rumia, Persia, and has been for Jfi years. 'Theodore A. is a physician, but is engaged in clothing business, in Brookhave lyn. V Y. Grace G. is myself. a home at Orchard Park, (Erie Co., N. V.), but am undecided how long I shall remain on account of unpleasant neighbors. Flora F. married, but died in 1801. Stella lives with Gyrene. Lillian A. married Mr. George C. Kidder, and lives on a farm near Jamestown. X. Y. Our mother died in 1891. "I am going. I expect, to visit my sisters this week, and will take your request to my sister Cyrene, and when she is settled she may write you. I shall remain if good neighbors take the houses near me. It is a pretty little town, and I have good friends here, both in the church and out of it. My sister Stella and myself are both partial invalids—spinal disease. She is terribly deformed by it. Mine is trou- I ble with the cord; only slight curvature. The others are fairly well. "I do not know whether this is all the information ; if not, my sisters or myself will be glad to write you in an- swer to questions." We are glad to have even the corner of the curtain lifted, that we may see such a family and we sympathize in ; their mutual love and in their pilikias, even to disagreeable neighbors. 'The other return comes in the shape of a record blank, filled out by Prof. William Fi«k Brewer, of the Montana Agricultural College ; address, 720 3rd Aye. South, Bozeman, Mont. He represents the vigorous Brewer branch of the honored Richards tree, all six representatives of which have taken root in the new west. His younger brother, Albert I). Brewer, M. D„ is in Belgrade, Montana; and of his sisters, Helen R. Brewer lives in Bozeman, Mont.; Mary E. Brewer in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; (irace L. Brewer in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Mrs. Lucy B. Porter in Hastings, lowa. Prof. Brewer married Mabel G. Booth; they have four children, all girls, the oldest born in 1896. His own birth in Chapel Hill, X. C, when his father was professor in the University of North Carolina, marks one of the migrations of his father's family, which were always from one seat of learning to another. Prof. Brewer also tells of three of his own cousins whom we have not heretofore known—AliceMary Williston, (Mrs.) Helen Richards Williston Colton, and Prof. Samuel Williston, of the Harvard Law School. The daughters and their mother. Mrs. Annie Gale Williston, live at 15 Berkeley St.. Cambridge, Mass., and it is not a violent supposition that the son lives with the family. The deceased father, Levi Lyman Richards Williston, who received his last name in adoption, at an early age, was the fifth child of Rev. William Richards, the missionary. The very envelope that Prof. Brewer uses for his letter is ablaze with the aggressiveness of the young state. Five pictures illustrating Bozeman cover half the face, and four panels of reading matter the whole of the back; Gallatin Valley is proclaimed as the Egypt of America, and backs it up by a statement of. the great yield per acre of the main farm products; and much is said of the good things which a progressive city of 7000 people, a railroad distributing center, offers to all comers. This may seem a very attenuated thread by which to connect Bozeman with this tropic city; but the world is �THE FRIEND bound together by threads, and this particular one is the fact that a dozen people here knew Julia Maria Richards —the late Mrs. Prof. Brewer—as a companion and schoolmate. 'The daily walk to Punahou. dusty, prickery, treeless, sun-in-the-face both ways, was yet a social education. 'The Honolulu children gathered at the mission, but the clans separated at Castle's gate. 'The Star-bolians under W. X. Armstrong, largely boys and barefooted at that, took Up a follow-my-leader chase of the most erratic nature, sometimes even into the mysterious gorge of Punchbowl. Xone dared to drop out. 'The disgrace would have been too much. 'The lesser party, mostly girls but always with a sufficient escort of boys, chose to cultivate their brains rather than their muscle, and retain breath enough for speech: and they took a pretty straight course for Punahou gate, walking steadily. Always among these were Helen and Julia Maria Richards: and this continued until 184(1. when they went to the States with their mother. R. W. A.
