Increase in Saloons The saloon question is becoming more lerinus in the Hawaiian Islands than many of our citizens realize. The last Legislature made it very easy for any one to obtain some kind of a license. As a result ihe number of saloons has increased enormously. This means a vast amount of financial loss, inasmuch as there is nothing hut destruction of propem connected with the liquor business. 'I'he physical and moral suffering are beyond any person's power to estimate, or even imagine. Since annexation to the United States the evolution backward of physical apnctite in these islands is appalling.

For nearly two years past lllis subject has been more or less prominently before our Honolulu public. < >f late it has been brought more fully into notice by the recent active crusade of the Advertiser against such complicity. Our long acquaintance with public elements in Honolulu convinces us that the morning paper has been doing a greatly needed work, most honestly and with true public Spirit, as well as ably and efficiently. We deeply regret to believe that such men as head our police force should be in such dishonorable complicity with that cruel and destructive vice of gambling, but the developed evidence of that fact seems too abundant and strong to be doubted. < >ur police evidently follow the fashion of their brethren in most other cities, and count it only regular and proper "business" to trade on the gambler's robbery and his customers. We therefore believe il lo be the urgent duty of every good and public-spirited citizen to side in this warfare with the Advertiser and all other enemies of this vice. Gambling is far from being the least injurious and destructive lo morals of the three leading forms of ruinous vice which prevail in civilized countries, the other two being drunkenness and lewdness. It has never proved possible entirely to suppress any of these three forms of destructive vice. Police activity, if earnestly and honestly exerted under wholesome and efficient laws, goes very far greatly to repress them, although the third named vice oilers the greatest resistance in cities and especially in seaports, where large numbers of detached men congregate with natural appetites unbridled and intensely craving. It is not therefore strange that most governments aim rather to repress such vice by regulation than by attempted suppression, however loathsome and shameful the evil. but gambling presents no such plausible plea for the complicity of the public authority. It appeals to no imperative physical craving. Men can easily forego Us exciting gratifications. The main incitement lo u is in the minds of its promoters, who plan systematically to rob their deceived victims. There is no excuse for not thoroughly and sternly sup pressing the practice, together with every other form of plundering and thievery, for the police to tolerate it, as is commonly done in all cities, has no plausible excuse. It is an unmitigated fellowship with crime. It is an intolerable public shame and civic disgrace that our police should traffic in this systematized robbery, as we are led to jielievc that they actually do. Gambling i8 in some respects the most destructive of the glial trio of vices. It breaks up the roots of successful and prosperous living. It subverts both the spirit of patient industry and that of No gambler can Inhonest integrity. task, or to guard with to fulfil his trusted fidelity any money in his reach. The springs of steady application and ol rigid integrity are fatally sapped in the youth who gambles, and the prudent employer will have none of him. Dc is a moral wreck. Young men who are led into the clutches of the gambler may nol become physically wrecked as much as by the sister vices; but mentally and morally their ruin is apt to become more complete and hopeless. A woman who marries a gambler is apt to confront even more irredeemable ruin than the wife of a sol or of a man of former impure life. Yet il is such wrecks that our police are systematically lending themselves to create 'I'he gambler's resort or "hell" pre scuts a peculiar temptation to the police in its greater facility for secrecy than the other two vices. Vet, as ihe Adver tiser has clearly shown, any active effort lo discover them and lo secure evidence for conviction, readily succeeds. We are confirmed in the belief thai Governor (artel's securing of evidence id" police complicity through an imported dc tcctive was a genuinely effective piece ol work, although the Hatter report was necessarily such as could not be pub lished, since a multitude of iis aspersions upon individuals could not he supported adequate evidence. by hie cannot undertake to saj just what and how much pressure can or should he applied to our police department to do their clear duty in this mailer, and to abandon their evidently lucrative system of protecting ihe gambling dens. At any rate all good citizens should coinbine to unite in a powerful locus, the scorching rays of our moral abhorrence upon every police miscreant who persists in lllis evil work. S. E. b.

We fear also that the elder children have become so fairly initiated in all that is vicious that it will be difficult to reclaim them. We have commenced having school with some of them, six. They appear very lively and fond of play and we hope they will ere long be lively at their books. We expect to teach them in English and should be exceedingly pleased lo get at a book store and select some interesting books for them.

It has often been said in the columns of friend that all that the native churches of the islands needed was a wise and con sic rat id leadership. Ihe lole Church at Kohala speaks eloquently of the truth of this statement. About a year ago Rev. ieorgc b. Kopa was called from Kauai to the pastorship of the lole Church, for some lime previ ous lo his coming the church had fallen into a stale of innocuous desuetude. Mr. Kopa at once set about a work of quiet revival. Today the life id' lole Church is in a more prosperous condition than it has been for years. There are 119 member, of the church-an increase of 22 during the year of Mr. Kopa's service. 1 If this number _'1 have been baptized by him. both Mr. and Mrs. Kopa have thrown themselves into the life of the church. Ihev are constantly making house to house visits and are gradually bringing back the old members who bad become alienated for one reason or another. 'I'he old Kaipuhaa Church has been revived, and it lias now united its forces with those of the lole Church. Once a month Mr. Kopa holds a service at the Kaipuhaa Church, which is six miles The ' from lole. There are also four meeting houses in different parts of the district where Mr. Kopa holds regular services alternate weeks. These chapels are all branches of the lole Church. 'I'he church also supports four Chris ban Endeavor Societies in different secMOSES KKKI'AIWA. tions of the community.

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 Christian books are not found in many places in Honolulu. We keep S'dne 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.

Since its formation last April, $116 has been raised and is ROW in the hands of the treasurer. It's officers are: I'resident—Mrs. Kopa. Vice-President—Mia. S. 11. K. \'e. Secretary—Miss Bella Timoteo. Treasurer—Mrs. W. P. McDougall. A material improvement nearly always follows a genuine spiritual uplift. The church building has heen thoroughly renovated and the entire interior has been freshly painted. To carry out this much needed work, over $2<x) was raised by subscription and by concerts. A fine new organ was also purchased, for which $108 was raised. Mrs. W. P, McDougall has been largely responsible for these improvements. Her energy and devotion in raising funds would brook no failure.

Dr. Shepardson closed his two months ministry in Honolulu on Sunday. Nov. lOth. It was only by sheer grit and by the graces of Cod that Dr. Shepardson was able to hold out until the return of the pastor. During the last two wicks he gave his very life's blood to meet his appointments. During his thirteen or more years of exceptionally busy service, Dr. Shepardson has never before been compelled to cancel a single engagement. A remarkable tribute to Cod's keeping power of them that love Dim! Ibid Dr. Shepardson given up some weeks sooner than he did. he would not be reduced to such weakness today. However, there is no one who does not admire his strong spirit and his uncomplaining cheerfulness in the stress of pain and weakness. Through the utter giving of self to her husband, Mrs. Shepardson is also greatly in need of rest and of quietfulness. Rarely, if ever, has a supply ministry here been so universally helpful as has been Dr. Shepardson. There is no one who has attended his services, and the church has nearly always been filled, who has not been spiritually bellied. There is only one reason for this: Dr. Shephardsou knows his bible and preaches it. It is very encouraging to see how hungry the people are for the bread of Life. Ihe course of afternoon expository lectures on the book of Hebrews has been most helpful and inspiring to a The interest irge number of people. was sustained throughout the entire course. Many from all denominations availed themselves of the privilege of hearing the Word of Cod opened Up by one who understood it. 'fhe fact ihat the book of Hebrews was written to Christian Jews who were in danger of apostacy, threw a Hood of light upon 1 many difficult passages. 'file free-will offering of the many who heard these lectures and who enjoyed the stereopticon lecture on "bight from the Monuments." was a very generous one. and was greatly appreciated by Dr. and Mrs. Shepardson. Owing to Dr. Shepardson's critical condition the stereopticon lecture on "From Xew York to Alaska in a Wheel I'hair," which was to have been given November 24th, at bishop Hall, Oahu College, has been indefinitely postponed. 'I'he plan of Systematic Giving which has worked so well this past year in our Bible School, will be continued for another year.

At the ( Ictdhcr meeting of the Kauai Association a committee consisting of the ministers of the island was chosen to confer vvilh the various churches and urge the reorganization of the boards of I leacons, with a view to raising the standards for this important office. This committee has begun its work visiting and conferring with the churches of Waimea and Hanapepe, which have the mailer under consideration. They will in like manner visit the other churches of the island. They are issuing to each church the by following letter: To the (ireeling : Church, Whereas the Hawaiian churches of the Island of Kauai have now a very much smaller membership than they had in the days of the Missionary fathers, and do not therefore need so large a Board of Deacons; And Whereas il is of the highest importance to the moral and spiritual well-being of the church and community that these Deacons should be men of exemplary life and character. And Whereas it is more or less difficult to find men of this kind suitable for the position. And Whereas it is common knowledge, and a source of shame and weakness, that some of the Deacons in sonic of our churches are notoriously unfit for the position because of grievous blemishes of life and character, Now. therefore, the Island Association, through its committee, elected to confer with the churches in this matter, respectfully suggests that the �15 THE FRIEND church consider the reor- ganization of its Beard of Deacons with a view to reducing the same to a number commensurate with the present needs of the church and more especially to placing in this position men of the highest integrity and honor; men of sobriety and clean lives, who shall lead the people in the things that make for peace and righteousness. And farther suggests that such Deacons be elected in classes or sections, whose term of n\Y\er shall be one, two and three years respectively, according lo fitness and character.
