Principal Levi Lyman is to be congratulated upon the success of the luau, fair and concert which were given in Hilo on Thanksgiving Day for the benefit of the Hoys' School. The struggle to put up a new and latge school building and move and renew the old buildings at the lowest possible expense, has been patiently undertaken and successfully carried through. Every possible method of economy has been employed, and the work done at about half the expense estimated by the architect. What was saved in money was expended in brain force, and careful employment of the boys studying in the school. The fair netted over one thousand four hundred dollars, but a debt still rests upon the school of about twenty-five hundred dollars. An excellent opportunity for the people of these Islands to make a paying investment of a part ot this money, is found in helping to pay off that debt. One Hundred Years.

The Mol-o-kans, the refugees from Russia, who have recently come to California and are looking for a permanent home, have offered $30,000 for a tract of land on the Island of Kauai. They are only waiting for contracts to be made with Mr. Spalding, the chief owner of a neighboring sugar plantation, for raising cane and furnishing it for grinding to Mr. Spalding's sugar mill. If a suitable and equitable contract can be made the Islands will probably secure this desirable addition as permanent citizens. RUSSIAN REFORMS. The Advance of Chicago very tersely sums up one phase of the situation in Russia, which is often overlooked by those who are longing to see reforms ranidlv carried through in Russia: "The action taken by the peasants in their congress was sufficiently radical to be alarming. The congress voted that private ownership of land should be abolished and that the estates of the convents, the churches, the grand dukes and the czar, and the crown lands should be taken without compensation. Tt was voted that the lands of nrivate individuals be taken partly with and partly without compensation, the conditions on which the lands shall be taken to be determined by a constituent assembly. Some of the delegates were of the opinion that no land owner should be compensated. Others said this would work great hardship in some instances. All the delegates agreed that the land should be the collective property of the people. The peasants are unwilling to buy lands, even on the easy payments offered them in the Czar's recent manifesto. It is a time when they. like the rest of the Russian masses, think that anything and everything should be had for the asking. They are organizing a treneral union and the peasants are flocking into it in masses. Gonon. the nriest who made the tragic blunder last January, is alarmed. He has fled to Finland, but writes that an immediate uprising would be a blunder, that a democratic republic is impossible, and that even an eight-hour day is impracticable. He also thinks that while the peasants are for the most radical reforms, yet they cline to the idea of a czar and would probably support him in a clash with the workingmen." CHINESE PRAYER SUBJECTS.

Ever since the commencement of the Methodist Church work in these Islands it has been under the charge of a bishop, but a personal and official visit of the one in charge has not been made before the coming of Bishop Hamilton, who is now organizing the churches of the various nationalities under his care into a conference. He has received a warm welcome from other denominations, and especially from the Hawaiian Board of Missions. President Jones appointed a committee consisting of Revs. Bishop, Bingham and Gulick, who, with him, visited the con- ference. The following request comes from the Rev. Dr. Bishop voiced the welcome workers, both Chinese and of the Hawaiian Board in substance as ricans, and illustrates the fine spirit follows: which they are doing all in their "Bishop Hamilton and Brethren of this x for the Chinese in this Territory: Conference; Kese "We come to present to you the heartiest Christian and fraternal greetings of the Hawaiian Board, which is the Executive Missionary Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Our Association embraces the whole body of the Congregational Churches in these Hawaiian Islands, originally organized by our Fathers of the early Protestant Mission, and now comprising churches speaking the Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese tongues. Those fathers have long since departed this life. But we can in their name and in the name of the churches they founded, assure you of our heartiest and most fraternally loving regards. We welcome you as our strong and honored coadjutors in our Lord's great work of conquest and salvation of men in this foremost outpost of American Christianity in this mid-Pacific, this great headlight now for eighty-five years facing toward the teeming millions of the Orient, now by steamer and cable brought so close to the American shores. We do indeed need your strong and fruitful aid in this great work, and do greatly rejoice in your vigorous presence among us. The time was when in the mother land, there was much unhappy friction between Arminians and Calvinists. Out here, such invidious theological distinctions have never made any impression. Our churches have been all one, brother regiments of Christ's great army, visibly facing and warring against Satan's embodied power. Three of this committee are veterans whose memory extends far back into early missionary days, myself the senior member of our Board, and the oldest surviving white male person born in Hawaii, and these two veteran missionaries, Mr. Gulick and Dr. Bingham but a little younger, T vividly remember, and they with me, the early part of the year 1837, when a band of Methodist missionaries, bound to the Indians of Oregon, came around Cape Horn on their way to join that veteran pioneer, Rev. Jason Lee. in the Willamet valley. At their head were a physician and his wife. There were three single ladies, on their way to join their affianced missionary husbands, who had preceded them overland. The elder of the three, a Miss Pitman, soon married Jason Lee. She spent several weeks at mv father's home near Pearl City, and left a strong impression upon my childish regard as a most winning person. But what I especially remember was the warm affection of our Missionary parents towards these visiting Methodists. They were as their own brother and sisters. There was no trace of denominational feeling on either side. All �5 THE FRIEND such sentiment, then not inactively ent in the parent land, out here absolutely disappeared in the presence of heathen darkness and degradation, and of weak and struggling Hawaiian piety, as well as of the reckless vice of our seafaring visitors. All loved one Lord and King, and were fighting against Satan for Him, One common zeal and loyalty to the same Master effaced all possible estrangement. And thus, dear Methodist Brethren, does that same condition still survive. We have ever continued one in heart with you in Christ Jesus. With all our hearts we welcome you as our prized and beloved brethren in this great work of saving souls and uplifting society in this mid-Pacific. May your labors greatly prosper. May this important reorganization of your forces be to the utmost fruitful of spiritual blessings and victorious progress. May your own souls be filled with confidence and ardor. May the Divine presence abide with you, and the Holy Spirit inspire you to great and fruitful ministrations among these commingled nationalities. That visit of the Oregon Methodist missionaries was just on the eve of the marvelous revival of 1837-8, which converted the I lawaiians as a whole people to Christ, and made them a Christian nation. You Methodists above all other Christians, believe in revivals, and seek for the descent in Power of the Holy Spirit Upon whole communities to convert and save, and Hawaii probably gave the greatest testimony since Pentecost to the truth of your characteristic belief. May that mighty and loving Power of God attend your labors here, and rest us upon all. THE OAHU AID SOCIETY. A crisis in the life of this society has been met and—we can confidently add— passed. A considerable (for it) shortage was faced at the end of 1905 and only comparatively few were the people who could be relied upon to carry the financial burden. The organizers of the present society. Missis. W. (). Smith, P. C. Jones, W. F. Frear and Theodore Richards, met and discussed the issue and decided that the society must be continued. A little account was given of the work of the Hawaiian pastors whose scant salaries were supplemented from the society's funds —one at Waianae, another at Kaneohe, and a third at Hauula, where a brave fight was being kept up against heavy odds, from a human point of view. The opinion was expressed that this sort of work should appeal to plantation interests, to which the reply was made that some help did come from certain managements. As a result of this meeting a considerable part of the need for the year was provided for by pledges; and another of Honolulu's worthy enterprises seems assured. T. R. DR. WATSON. Dr. J. E. Watson, who conducted a very helpful mission during the earlier part of this year in connection with the I'eniel people, is likely to return here about the ioth of this month. He has been holding meetings in New Zealand and Australia, particularly for the deepening of religious life among Christian people. All reports are to the effect that many have been deeply stirred in each place. His stay in Honolulu is likely to be but a brief one, and it is somewhat unfortunate that he is to be here during the week of prayer so that he might arrange daily Bible readings without conflicting with the prepared program for the week. However, his coming may be most timely. He holds many truths taken from the "word," which are not generally heard and he preaches them fearlessly to the "edification" of his hear- ers. While in Honolulu for a steamer's Stopover, he and Mrs. Watson will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Richards. THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. Some steps have been taken already toward next year's festival. Representatives of the various schools interested met early in December, President Griffiths of Oahu College, in the chair, and President Home of Kamehameha, made the motion which was carried, that the event which has been known as the "Carnival of Song," he held in the Opera House, April 27. It was also ordered that the Symphony Society be asked to co-operate, and tbe management, Messrs. Richards and Castle, were requested to communicate with that society, offering terms and making necessary arrangements. Mr. Stockton of the Symphony Society, was unanimously chosen as leader, and all the institutions represented were pledged to do their part to make this season even more successful than the two previous ones. A communication was read from a notable Boston soloist in which it was intimated that her services might be available if the time were favorable. This matter was left to the joint action of a committee of former festival management and another from the Sym- phony Society, should they join in the festival. Afterwards a letter was received from the Symphony Society, by their president, Mr. Hedemann, acceding heartily to the proposition and terms made by the festival management. So docs the festival grow from year to year, bringing a sure elevation of the musical taste of our community as it makes more feasible the gratification of such taste. The exceedingly interesting feature ol the last festivals, the carnival and contest of song at the Boys' Field, is the most uncertain feature of the coming season. The public schools involved have found the work necessary a serious addition to their burdens, all agreeing, however, that the idea was meritorious and the result justifying the effort. Whether or not they can get ready for the date set is not yet determined, with the weight of probability somewhat against it. The combination of three hundred children's voices in open air was a most inspiring thing, and the picturesque effect of the costumes of the various nationalities represented added greatly to the charm and was an educational eye-opener as well. The late Kevins Armstrong, in an article in an eastern paper, commented most enthusiastically on the effect produced upon him when this body of singers united in the Star Spangled Banner and America. We feel sure that it will be thought wise to continue this notable exercise in the school corriculum. The management of the Hawaii Promotion Committee have expressed themselves as interested in an event which might be a drawing card to those intending to make a visit to Hawaii about that time. MOTHER PARKER. MRS. ANDRKWS. A great event in the history of the Ha- waiian Mission, was the celebration on Dec. 9th of the one hundredth anniversary of Mother Barker's birthday. On Nov. 7th, a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Mission Children's Society was held to arrange a program —a morning serenade, the presentation of an engrossed testimonial, a "hookupu" by the great grand-children of the mission, and on the following day, commemorative services in the churches. Committees were appointed, and the plan, with some modifications, was successfully carried out. At 8 o'clock the compliments of Governor' Carter and the Hawaiian band was tendered in a specially arranged program of music, as follows: �THE FRIEND. 6 .

"The members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association express, through us, their hearty congratulations to yourself and to your beloved household, for the kind Providence which has granted to you a life of great usefulness and happiness exceeding, perhaps, in respect to length of years and terms of service, any other missionary to a foreign field, a continuous career of over seventy-two years on mission ground that has not probably within the Christian era been exceeded. "We thank our Heavenly Father that He has kept you all these years and given to us, and to the people of these favored islands, the benediction of your instruction and your prayers, and the example of your life of Christian devotion. "We pray that the Heavenly Guide may grant you many days, and that the Angel of His Covenant may ever abide with you, leading you up the Shining Pathway until he shall usher you into the Eternal Presence.

The vices and diseases of civilization had been given to the Hawaiians before the missionaries came, and it was high time the remedial agency of civilization was brought to bear to neutralize its demoralizing influence. "To you, Mother Parker, and your fellow survivors of the missionary company who have done their work, we express our gratitude and appreciation, not only for what you have done for the Hawaiians, but also for your share in what has been accomplished for the reign of law and order in these beautiful islands, and the creation of an enlightened public sentiment favorable alike to the promotion of good morals and the protection of political and business interests; and as an earnest token of this appreciation, we desire to say to you, that it is the fixed determination of the members of the "Cousins' Society" to always, and perseveringly work for the preservation and development of the Christian civilization which you and your associates have planted and nourished here." Bishop Restarick of the Episcopal diocese of the Hawaiian Islands, was then introduced. He began his long and excellent address by saying he was deeply touched that on this occasion, the sons and daughters of missionaries of IthQ American Board of Foreign Missions should have chosen him to make the address. It was a sign of their confidence and good will and be hoped his acceptance might further the cause of Christian work and Christian unity. He said: "Let us go back. In Bradford, Conn., Dec. 9, 1805, Mary Elizabeth Barker, was born. This venerable lady is in all our hearts this evening. She was ten years of age when the battle of Waterloo was fought, which decided the fate of the nations of Europe. She was two years old when Fulton took his steamer on its trial trip from New York to Albany. She was nine years old when Stephenson ran his first locomotive on a colliery tramway. She was thirty years old when Morse sent his first telegraphic message from Baltimore to Washington. What marvelous factors these are in the progress of mankind! she sailed from Xew England great countries of Asia with their ons of people were closed to misirics of the cross. Africa was a dark inent with its fringe of slave-trading Then settlements the darkest of all. there were the blood-stained islands of KVhen the South Pacific, in one group of which she was to labor for a time. She landed in Honolulu with her husband and others in 1833, the sixth company sent by the American Board of Missions. "What was behind all this sending and being sent? It was faith in God and in the capacity of His children to respond to His love and to His revelation of himself in the person of Jesus Christ. It was the same faith which sent missionaries to our fathers, when they, a few centuries ago, were fierce savages in the forests of Germany, blood-thirsty pirates of the North Sea or tattooed barbarians of distant Britain. It was the spirit of missionary effort that has always been derided and maligned as Christ himself was. and as missionaries will always be. People don't believe in missions simply because they do not believe in Jesus Christ and the Brotherhood of Man. They forget that all they hold dear in life is due to those missionaries who were sent to their fathers, and whom the intellectual Greeks and Romans scoffed at. "There was not only faith in the missionaries, but also the spirit of sacrifice— the spirit of God. These men and women toiled on, little realizing the importance on the future of missions of the experiments which they made, little realizing that they were laying the foundations of a history which for interest, romance and pathos is fascinating to every student of human nature. "All honor to the noble women, wives of the missionaries and others, the pioneers of Christian homes from which have come strong men and pure women. Such a one is she whom we delight to honor today. And let this generation keep in mind and at heart that no wealth, no luxuries, no culture can keep society sweet and clean and men and women true and noble. ()nly faith burning in the heart can keep society from going down from indifference to degradation. "I am familiar with all that is said in the way of discouragement. But to dwell upon failures in any work will never make things better. In doing one's duty there is no failure, while to neglect duty is the only real failure in any life. Don't judge men at their worst. Don't judge nations at their worst. That is not the way God judges us. It is our plain duty to keep on working, teaching, training, leaving the results with God. Do not expect too much. It is eightyfive years since 4hat first company landed at Kailua. In the period which has elapsed since then the Hawaiian people have made greater progress in enlightenment than any other barbaric people have done in the same time. No service for God and man is ever wasted. The reforms, the progress, the liberties, the blessings which we enjoy came from men, who in losing their lives found life and gave life and light to mankind. "Little did your fathers know that they were conducting an experiment station for missions. The first industrial schools were those of Lahaina in 1831, and Hilo in 1837, and these, and the life here, were the inspiration of Hampton Institute, and later of Tuskccgce, and a dozen others. Booker T. Washington is a result of the experiment station here. ( htr work has touched the wide world. "Why could not we be an experiment station for another movement for Christian unity, the desire of which is burning in the souls of Christian people over the world. I know of no place where conditions are more favorable. We have been getting together on the great essentials of the Christian religion. We could all, probably, recite together the Apostle's Creed. We can be one in hope. We can be one in that divine charity that 'thinketh no evil but rejoiceth in the truth.' We should at least try to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace in the sight of the heathen that are around us. "I speak to Christians all. This is our Hawaii nei. If it is to be established in righteousness it will be by our hav- — ing a living faith. Indifference to truth, carelessness of the Lord's day, negligence as to the Lord's house and the Father's table, the giving of one's self wholly to business and pleasure will never keep souls in touch with the infinite. "lie faithful to the memory of your fathers and be faithful to their God, who is your God. Give your children at least the training in home and church which you had. lie fair to them. "All honor to the aged mothers in Israel who arc still with us in the flesh. All honor to the aged men here tonight. All praise to those whose work is done and who have entered into rest. Go, do your duty. pray, watch, work, build up such a social structure here that your children may rise to honor and bless you, and may God bless you now and ever." The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Hiram Bingham. CHRISTMAS TIME IN CHINA. Rkv. !•:. W. Tiiwi.No. Christmastide has now come to be a time of joy and gladness all over the world. In every land the young people gather to rejoice on this day of the Savior's birth. Today in China, some gather in every province, to remember this day of all the year. My first visit to China was very pleas- �THE FRIEND antly connected with the Christmas time. It may interest some to hear of a visit to the "True Light" School for Chinese girls at Canton. Here between one and two hundred girls have a happy mission home, and enjoy the Christmas celebrations just as much as any girls in America. It was a great pleasure to be in- vited over to see them at that time. As I came in before the busy roomful of girls, dressed in their strange costume, their bright faces turned shyly up at the newcomer, it seemed more like some make-believe show than a real, every-day school. Many of them looked very pretty in their light-colored dresses and gayly ornamented shoes. Their jet black hair was neatly combed and hung in a long braid down the back, and a red silk cord was bound around it, near the head. They were seated in rows on their wooden stools, before long, high desks, two at each desk. As I stood watching them, the teacher called up two girls to bid me welcome. They came with a graceful little bow, and just here I came near doing something dreadful. Being wholly unacquainted with their manners, I was about to offer to shake hands. The missionary prevented me, however, and I afterwards learned it was considered the height of rudeness for a man to touch a girl's hand. These Chinese girls have a wonderful memory. They learn their lessons by heart and recite them with a readiness and accuracy that would do credit to any scholar in America. They often recite with glibness long chapters from the Bible without missing a word. In this boarding school they study all the common branches, and some take up the higher studies of chemistry, astronomy, natural history and natural theology. Especially do they make a study of the Bible, and many of them can ask questions that would puzzle us. Some of the girls study music, and play the piano nicely. At this Christmas they gave a most delightful entertainment, one that would have been a pleasant surprise to any of us, bad we been there. The pleasant chapel of the school was decorated with banners and mottoes in Chinese. The platform was backed by handsome flowers and the green fan palms. At the front of the room were two evergreen trees with a load of good things for the younger scholars. But prettiest of all were the children themselves. The little primary class, shown in the picture in front, the girls dressed in their very best, some with pretty pink cheeks, and all as full of eager anticipation as our own school children, at their Christmas festivals. The exercises began by chanting a Christmas piece by the sweet little voices of the infant class, followed by singing from the whole school. It was good to hear those girls sing, all in Chinese, to be sure, but pleasant for all that. Next came a charming duct by two of the older girls, "I am so glad that Jesus loves me," in English. Their voices were so sweet and pure that it did not seem as if these girls had once been a part of great heathen China. Then followed interesting recitations by the scholars, a duct by two little tots, and another little bit of a thing sung in English, "Jesus loves me, this I know.' Towards the close of the evening one of the missionaries gave a short talk, and the entertainment ended with a quartet sung by others of the Americans, which very much pleased the girls, and after that they were made happy by the distribution of little presents. Altogether it was one of the most pleasing Christmas entertainments 1 ever witnessed. This was some years ago, but now many of those girls have little ones of their own who are taught from earliest childhood of the joys of Christmas, and of (iod's greatest gift to man of a loving Savior. A hundred years ago there was no Christmas time in China, now many thousands of children in that great empire find it one of the happiest times of the whole year. LEPER CHRISTMAS. GIVING VERSUS RECEIVING, In proportion as we enter into it, does the verity of truth become a recognized fact in individual experience. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." This too on all lines, whether it be the giving of oneself in thought, word, work or money. Many lives have been made richer by the expenditure of thfcir forces, even in these over-taxed, strenuous days, in the devising and carrying out of schemes for the brightening of other lives. The busiest of busy women have counted it all joy to add to their shopping lists, outdoing themselves in these- 9 lection of over four hundred gifts for the lepers at Molokai. What a pleasure, too, it was to fill the little bags and envelopes! It was no small thing, the getting "an earnest" of the Christmas thrill, even in the folding and tucking into he bags the pretty bits of ribbon or tiny bottles of perfumery. Time rolled backward for a moment's space —we were girls again as we noted that the girls now older grown were not excluded from the pleasing prettinesscs that hearten all sorts and ages of girls. And the useful, practical things were strikingly in evidence. Bags containing a variety of things will doubtless give great satisfaction. To one a crochetneedle and two spools of mercerized cotton, another some buttons, tape and pins —needles and thimbles were not forgotten, thus covering quite a field of wants and needs. The men, likewise, were all thought fully remembered —but fancy the Hashing of the bus's eyes as he unrolls a parcel containing a blue, green, maroon or bright red sweater! This in addition to the bags of marbles or pistol with generous supply of caps. We must noi omit the perennial cheer that ever goes with candies and fruits; surely many a face will be brightened, many a heart cheered by these generous gifts. Forgetting not the enfolding in each gift, an earnest prayer to the All loving Great Physician for His continued ministry to each sorrowing sufferer. What a blessed harvest we may confidently expect! That each giver may enjoy the reflex blessedness of prayer added to their joy in giving it the earnest wish of ONE OF THE PACKERS. Honolulu, Dec. 20, 1905. THE MESSAGE OF AN HONEST PRESIDENT. Our President, Theodore Roosevelt, has issued his annual message to Congress, reporting the condition and needs of our imperial Republic. It points out a variety of peculiar conditions obtaining, and of evils to be corrected and remedied, as well as wants to be supplied and work to be done. Pervading the whole message is that note of firm and honest purpose which marks his nature. Withal it is devoid of all extreme and hysterical moods, full of moderation and calm wisdom. Such a combination marks the wise and strong President whom the whole country has learned to trust and follow. God has greatly blessed our land with such a chief magistrate on whom the people can confidently rely as honest, wise and determined. By no better gift than such a leader can any land be favored. �THE FRIEND 10 Mr. Roosevelt's recommendations are wholly in line with the spirit of the recent great uprisings in the. November elections in the American cities to break up and suppress long established systems of "graft" and organized fraud. Also with the strong and open exposures of fraud and robbery in great financial institutions. Among the various features of this overwhelming movement we cannot too greatly rejoice in the tremendous defeat in Ohio of Myron Herrick, the Republican candidate for Governor, who was the candidate of the party machine, in complicity with the saloonists. The honesty of the state arose in its power and smashed the corrupt machine, reversing the enormous majority for Roosevelt in the previous year. That was a splendid example for Hawaii. Here, too, we have an ambitious and dictatorial machine, organized on old corrupt mainland patterns. A County Committee undertakes to dictate to the Republican voters. It claims to read out of the party every voter who will not blindly vote the whole ticket, and to refuse such voters a voice in the primaries. We must all vote for their nominees, however corrupt and objectionable. This is the very essence of political corruption. Every County Committee that stands upon such ground thereby earns the loathing of their fellow citizens. Every self-respecting and patriotic citizen will spurn such dictation. If good men are nominated, we will vote for them. If corrupt or doubtful men, we will defeat them. Away with your vile dictation! So said the Republican citizens of ()hio, and flung down hard Myron Herrick and his gang of Republican machinists and saloonists. Hawaii is now reaping the fruits of carelessly yielding to corrupt political managers, by finding our rural districts, as well as our towns, wholly given over to and pervaded by grog shops of every degree in the remotest corners, in consequence of the blindly corrupt legislation enacted by a legislature selected for us by corrupt and unprincipled County Committees. These men have filled the land with the stench of alcoholism and opium doping, to the rapid ruin of the common people, and now they claim to deny us all privilege of choice for whom we shall vote. Ex-President Cleveland adds bis wise and influential voice in support of the noble campaign against political and financial corruption. The one place now most in need of a thorough cleaning out is the Federal Senate, so largely composed of corrupt capitalists and their agents, who were chosen by purchased legislatures, both in old and newer States. It is a wholesome sign when such a pair of rotten old corruptionists as Senators Piatt and Depew are held up to public scorn. So the long battle of Honesty and Righteousness against Fraud and Duplicity goes slowly on towards its advancing triumph. Roosevelt is a noble leader in that conflict. S. E. B. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Today's date, as we write, December 22nd, reminds one of the Pilgrims' stepping from the Mayflower upon the Rock at Plymouth. What a noble freight of saintly souls and of lofty character that memorable ship brought for the foundation of civilized society in bleak and savage New Fmgland. But of all her rich freight, of the highest and best was the Holy Fear of God, and Reverence for His Ten Commandments, to be landed and planted on that dark heathen shore as the firm basis of a pure, prosperous and triumphant social organization. Verily "the ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether" and "in keeping of them there is great reward." The splendid superiority of New England in social, economical and political prosperity testify thereto. Only second in preciousness to individual and national life than the later and accordant Revelation of God's rich grace in Jesus Christ, of which the Law of Sinai was the indispensable Forerunner, was that earlier Covenant made by Jehovah with bis elect People Israel— that Old Testament of Holy Law. Blessed indeed was Israel when Jehovah came down upon Sinai in such impressive and awful display, and delivered to them in definite and ordered form that most explicit Revelation of His Way and Will. Educated and trained for forty years in obedience to that Law, and in reliance upon Jehovah's appended Covenant of gracious help, Israel took successful possession of Canaan, and found rest there "The under the divine protection. statutes of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes." And every nation that sacredly believes and holds in awe that holy Decalogue as the Ordinance of God, is planted iiixjii a solid basis of Righteousness and Wisdom. After their earlier desert schooling, Israel never absolutely forgot or despised that law, although often rebellious and often scourged back into obedience and reverence. After the Captivity, they measurably grew into conformity until Messiah came. Even the after rejecting the Messiah and being dispersed, their reverent observance of the Law of Sinai has saved them from decay and preserved in them a central essence of social integrity, surviving all destructive influences. From Israel we Christian peoples inherit that wise and holy code of laws. Our society is founded u|m)ii it, and is preserved by its sanitating force. By its pervading control are we enabled to live together in a good degree of social health, through an unforgottcn Reverence to God and observance of His Sabbaths, through Honor to Parents, and sense of the Sacredness of human life, through reverence of Social Purity, and sense of imperative obligation to Integrity and to Truthfulness. By means of the Ten Commandments have these fundamental virtues and obligations become deeply rooted in the moral sense of Christian nations, enabling them to maintain a good degree of moral sanity, and thereby to escape deep corruption and to prosper. Now what a blind and fatuous blunder is being made by those Christian teachers who are bent upon discrediting the historical verity of any such Revelation having been made by Jehovah through Moses at Sinai. Why, the very existence and living Bower of such a I.aw through the ages at the center of national life in Israel, is its own supreme testimony to its actual origin at Sinai! It is the fundamental Constitution of Israel. It is the backbone of its national existence. That original Covenant of Jehovah is the mighty ineradicable tap-root of Israel's growth and strength, a root that has never failed in its vitality and sustaining force through all Israel's crushing misery in later ages. Feeding on that undying strength Israel lives or. awaiting the day of her conversion to. her disowned Messiah. That Holy Law of Sinai to which we bow as did our fathers, was the very center and essence of God's earlier disclosures of His Way and Will to mankind. In the presence of that majestic Code of Righteousness and Moral Health, with its awful sanctions, how do all the not despicable thoughts of great souls like Zoroaster, Gautama or Cbnfutze pale and become hopelessly insignificant. We need not wait for the Father's later and blessed revelation through His Son Jesus to eclipse their dim and misty light. Moses had long before done that at Sinai. Our Old Testament is a glorious sun of soul light and living power, despite all the fantastic guesses of the Destructive Critics. In such divine light all lesser lights of the nations fade from view. S. E. B. �THE FRIEND BOYS' CLUB NOTES. During the past year, some of us have felt that our clubs were deficient in getting near to the heart life of the boys. To organize clubs and to have boys meet once a week and play games is not the club's highest ambition, Not many club leaders would consider their time well spent if the club offered nothing more than amusement to the boys. The object of the ideal club is the development of character. |To meet this need, during the past six weeks a series of five gospel and temperance talks, illustrated with the stereopticon, has been given every Saturday night in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. ( )ne thousand coupon tickets were issued and placed in the hands of not only the club boys, but of many other boys. The attendance has ranged from one hundred and fifty to two hundred boys. Mr. Rider has given two strong temperance talks. Mr. Westervelt's subject was "Beautiful Things," while Mr. Richards showed the pictures of the Passion Play at Ober-Ammergan. December 30th Mr. Turner tells the story of "Pilgrims Progress." Special music has been rendered each night. Among those contributing have been the Kamehameha Glee Club, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Raymond Brown, Miss Sturgeon and the Normal (ilee Club. The experiment has proven enough of a success to warrant its repetition at some future date. The indoor baseball season of the clubs has come to a close. The final game of the Juniors was played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, by the Kawaiahaos and the Balamas. It was a close game and well played. The Balamas won by one run after a most sensational finish. Indoor baseball has proven very popular among the boys, and in the future it should become one of the annual contests. The boys are now making the acquaintance of basket ball. A scries of games will probably be arranged to be played in February. ()ne of our greatest needs is a suitable meeting place for the Kawaiabao clubs. Considering their equipment, it is a marvel that these clubs have held together during the year. They meet in the baseBut ment of the Kawaiabao Church. low the rafters projecting ceiling, the and the many posts makes it almost impossible to play any running games like baseball or basket ball. It is not safe to wela. Whatever our clubs do or do not do, they catch and hold the boys. And everybody admits that a boy must be caught before he can be helped, either mentally or morally. Kakaako is teeming with boyhood and young manhood that is demanding some expression of pent-up life. Our clubs properly managed offer just the channel needed. Once in a club, the boy becomes susceptible to the influence of the manager and his helpers. It is now becoming the custom for a championship team to invite the "runner up" team to meet with them for a social evening and share refreshments. It is a good custom for it develops the spirit of fellowship and will lead to fair play in sports. We now have a new horse mower at the Boys' Field. The entire oval can now be mowed in a day and more time can be given to the track and the care of the field. The mower was a good investment. We are planning to hold two field days in the spring. One open meet and one boys' club meet. Invitations have been sent to the other Islands, to their athletic clubs, inviting them to be represented in the spring open meet. There ought to be athletes on the other Islands who would like to have a try at the Island championship. The Kamehameha Schools have an inter-class field meet at the Boys' Field the last of this month. Kamehameha has fast men in every event and it will be an interesting meet. The Chinese Athletic Club will hold a meet exclusively for Chinese athletes the latter part of January. It is to be hoped that a similar meet may be arranged for the Japanese athletes of the city. The management of the Boys' Clubs will do all it can to encourage clean athletics among all the different nationalities of the Islands. An interesting experiment has been tried on the track of the Boys' Field in killing the Chinese grass. This grass has been most troublesome in that its seeds or bulbs are found two feet under ground and it rapidly spreads A heavy salt brine was made and the water put on toiling. It has killed the grass tem|3orarily, but whether permanently, it is too early to state. Interest in the classes at the trades school is maintained. The boyc ~'i busily engaged in making canes, turning calabashes and other articles. This school represents an investment of $5,000 remove the posts and to ceil the rafters and there ought to be a larger use made would not warrant the expense. It is a of it. There is a plan in mind whereby great pity that Kakaako has no suitable a greater use may be made of the school. The annual report of the work of the club house as has Palama and Kaulu- 11 Boys' Clubs will be issued within a few days and then all our friends may know more fully what has been done the past year.

That for which we have prayed and toiled during the past two or three years, lias at last been granted to us—362 men, women and children have made a stand for Christ in July, with about 100 more to follow in the near future. Let us praise Jehovah for all his mercies. Bless the Lord (>h my soul. It was on our usual Communion Sabbath. We had prayed for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit and expected to have it. Nearly 400 adults with their children had been instructed in the scay for two or three years past and they even had claimed a change of heart, but not one of tbcni showed a definite desire for baptism and admission into the church during all these years. A few days before these never-to-be-forgotten Sabbaths, it seemed as if th«» time of reaping had not come yet. Wife and I felt just a little depressed, perhaps wrongly so, that the people did not come out and boldly declare Christ as their Savior and King. This conversation took place on the Friday before Communion Sabbath. We made no special effort whatsoever to induce the people to come, but worked on in our usual manner. On Saturday, July Bth, the fire descended. Early that morning the natives began to come, men and women, old and young, begged to be baptized and taken into By Sabbath morning 136 church. dusky men and women were gathered around the platform in our church to receive the sacrament of baptism and to be admitted into fellowship of the Nauru Evangelical Church. One hundred and eighty-two persons had made application, but 46 were found, after due examination, to be not quite ripe for the rite of baptism. Great as our joy and victory was that day, it was to be eclipsed on the following Sabbath. The I.ord's supper had to be postponed until the following Sunday, as I felt not able to administer it, after baptizing so many people, because immediately after the lwptisni of adults, according to our cus- torn, we marry those who have hitherto lived together as man and wife (according to heathen custom), and lastly we baptize their infants and smaller children. At the close of the service, which commenced at 10 a. m. and closed at 4 p. m., I made the announcement that we would, I). V., gather around the Lord's table on the following Sabbath. But it was not to be so after all. During the week 287 men, women and children, among which were nearly one-half of our school children, came and clamored for baptism. Two hundred and twenty-six of these were found worthy to receive the sacrament. And thus the scene of the previous Sabbath was repeated, with the only difference that is was still more blessed to be there. I low our hearts went up to God in thanksgiving that morning, my pen can not describe. I think it was the grandest and most impressive sight we have ever witnessed as we looked down on the 100 boys and girls, all between the ages of 12 and 14, who were gathered around us to receive baptism, the choir singing during the ceremony softly such beautiful hymns as, "Savior led me, lest I stray" and "Ring the bells of heaven." It was worth six years of prayer, toil, loneliness and, a times, Revere disappointment, to be there that morning. How we wished to have our missionary father, the Rev. O. H. Gulick, and the many loyal friends of this mission among us. A glimpse of that scene, when fully 1,100 natives worshipped their God, our God, would have repaid them for the many sacrifices they have made for this work. We have now, September 20, 1905, a church membership of 474 adults and 283 baptized real and adopted children of members, or a grand total of 757 baptized souls in our congregation, as against 248 adults and 131 children (379 in a li) on December 31, 1904. A gain of 236 adults and 152 children, or 388 in all, during the first eight months of the present year! The work at present is in fine condition. May God guard and help us all. Further particulars of the work we will, D. V., publish in our "Sixth Annual Report." The subject of the first Royal School in the last number of Tin-: F"riknp has resulted in some very interesting correspondence addressed to Mr. A. F. Cooke, from which material we are at liberty to draw. The writer states that school was exclusively for the descendants of the chiefs of the Kamehameha dynasty and those friendly to them. He points out, too, that there was no real connection between this school and the Royal School afterwards begun under the leadership of Rev. E. G. Beckwith. A curious old report in the handwriting of Mr. Cooke is copied as follow s to show the names of the pupils: John li and Sarah Hewauli. (These were the Kahu or guardian and bis wife.) The boys are as follows: Moses Kekuaiwa, Lot Kamehameha, Alexander Liholiho, William Lunalilo, Peter Young Kaeo, James Kaliokalani, David Kalakaua. The girls were Victoria Kamamain, Bemice Patiahi (Mrs. C. R. Bishop), Lydia Makaeha, Jane Loeau, Abigail Mahele, Elizabeth Kekaaniau, Polly l'aiaina, Emma Rooke (Ouecn Emma). It appears that John Pitt Kinati and Gideon Laanui attended later. The school was broken up in 1850, when Mr. and Mrs. Cooke moved to Kawaiabao,—the old Cooke homestead. Ed. Chiefish Exclusiveness Fence. — The High May 2nd. We expect our scholars to come on Monday. The Governor has been here to-day superintending the building of a high fence around our establishment. It is not yet completed, but he is so anxious to have the school inclosed that we consented to have it. I tremble in view of the responsibility. (All the royal premises and buildings were so surrounded, perhaps as a heritage of the old tabu. There was a high wall around the present government building till after the revolution of '87. Ed.)

They turned but it did not end here. The story was spread through the Governor's household and Moses' mother came up to sec him and had a private conversation upon the subject. The next morning the boy was sick and we were first apprised of the fact by a request from the Governor that he might come and spend the day with him and take medicine. Mr. C. waived the matter till after prayers and finally until after breakfast, during which be received a third written request for Moses to come down directly. After advising with others he sent a note that he could not reply then, but was not much sick, but if he wished very much to give him medicine to bring or send it here and he might take it. The medicine was sent and the boy look il but acted very strange for a day two. when he apparently recovered. Mr. Cooke told the children that they must go out no more to walk until they were not afraid of marks, for there were many of them about. Mischievous chilor dren would make funny marks. Indeed he had often made them himself. We kept them in about a fortnight when they declared themselves rid of the fears and obtained more liberty. dren who would soon stand in their places should be educated. His speech had a happy effect on the mind of the King, who shed tears in spite oi himself. Mr. Richards spoke of the importance of the school* in a political point of view, alluding in a happy manner to some remarks made to him by the good Kaahumanu before her death. Dr. Judd followed by speaking of their physical education and gave an account of the origin of the idea of such a school for these children. Also what would be expected of them. ()n the whole it was a very pleasant time. To relieve the tedium between the speeches we sung with the children present.

Mr. Cooke went again, found the steward, Kahu's wife and all had come to his assistance, lie sent them all to bed except Kahu's wife, whom he directed to stay in the room the remainder of the night. At day-break they all arose and in talking it over repeated some of the noise of the night. This frightened the little boy again and be renewed his cries.

You perhaps recollect that an attempt was made last year by the king and chiefs to get the children here, but an ill wind drove them back. A schooner was sent again for us this time and we fiild ourselves landed safely. I wish I could give you an accurate idea of our voyage, but it would be impossible in the short time I can command for writing. I will therefore only say a few things.

The linen damask table cloth was white and clean, the water cool and refreshing. Auhea's house stood close by the sea. It was built of stones, two stories high.

Many of the poor natives were obliged to fly from their houses with no covering, from the incessant rain. Many houses were swept away. In some places the water stood tip as high as the waist. The lightning was constant though not a great deal of hard thunder. Our cellar was filled up full. We lost one barrel of hard-bread, given us by the Governor. The water came in all around. One side of the bed was quite wet. To-day it has been raining. The children have made me almost crazy and the red mud has been carried from garret to cellar. RECORD OF EVENTS. The chiefs always expect cake and nice cake, too. I have bread and butter, cup cake, cookies, fried cakes, sponge cake, crackers, tea and coffee. I used forty eggs in my cookery and the bread was swept clean. There were thirty-five of us ah, counting our family. Now I must express it in plain language that the expense of this entertainment was borne by the chiefs and not the mission, lest you might wonder if it was right for the missionaries thus to appropriate the money given them for spreading the blessed gospel. (There were critics in the homeland in those days, too. Not easily disarmed then, as now. Ed.) We think it has a good effect upon the chiefs thus to meet us and spend an occasional evening with their children in a social way. Dr. Judd and Mr. Richards were here, too. Aftei tea we assembled in the parlor, where the children sung and read in the bible, and after a prayer by Mr. Richards several Psalm tunes were sung,—the German watchman's song, the "Minute Gun at Sea," etc. His Majesty was in excellent spirit. His wife is a very pretty native and a professed Christian. All present appeared to enjoy the evening. A Side Trip to Wailuku. May sth. I feel lonely and desolate this morning. Mr. Cooke and the children have gone a station about 15 miles from this. They started early about daylight in company with the king, who goes to escort them with four boats. He is to go within seven miles from the station and then return. The children take horses where the king leaves them and go by land the remainder of the way.

The children exhausted all their English over and over again in trying to tell me of all the things they bad seen and heard. Last night I had the king and chiefs here to tea. The day previous was spent in baking and preparing for them. T found it very difficult to do so on many accounts. When T came from home I did not expect to stay long and brought just as few things as I could get along with, but after considerable contrivance I succeeded in giving an excellent supper.
