That it is possible for a busy manager to let his Christian light shine in his treatment of his men and in the cordial and open help rendered to the pastors and evangelists of various nationalities within his plantation is made very evident by a growing number of earnest Christian men throughout the Territory. God's richest blessing is sure to rest Upon all such noble work. JAPANESE SCHOOL, PRIMARY CLASS. WAIAKEA labor for very small stipends out of love for the work and for their Master. The typical Japanese teacher is a modest, kindly, tactful soul, to watch whom is to learn golden lessons of how to win hoys and girls to the best things. The children return the love of their teacher, and respond with a loyalty that is very beautiful. Much is being done all over the Islands in this direction, but more is demanded. Meantime there are scores of idle, useless Christians in country and town who might he mighty forces in God's Kingdom if they would only consecrate themselves to this noble service of bringing the children to Christ through the portal of Sunday School teaching. Managerial Sympathy. The splendid advance achieved by our Japanese evangelists on the trade wind coast of Hawaii Island from Kohala to (Maa is in large measure due to the hearty sympathy and cooperation of the plantation managers throughout that region. Beginning with Olaa and running to Hawi in Kohala, there is a noble succession of Christian managers. Such men as Messrs. Watt of < Maa, Kennedy of Waiakea, Scott of Wainaku, Moir of Papaikou, Pullar of Honomu, Gibh of Paauhau, (ijerdrum of I lonokaa, Forbes of Kukuihaele, Hall of Xiulii, Kay of Halawa, Deacon of Kohala, Renton of Union Mill, and Hind of Hawi, in connection with whose plantations our preachers are laboring are vitally interested in what these evangelists are doing. These managers are not afraid to let their Japanese employes know what they are in sympathy with Christian work. Some of them drop in upon a Japanese service now and then to show their interest and also take no little pains to find out what the evangelists are doing. This is a double aid to the preachers. Tt keeps Well Manned Field From Kohala down the HamafcuaHilo coast to ( )laa, Hawaii is fairly well covered by our Japanese evangelists. There is no plethora of workers. We still need several teachers and five preachers thoroughly to cccupy the entire island, but the force now actively engaged gives the impression in the Hilo district, at least, of adequacy. In Kohala, Mr. VVashiyama illustrates the value of persistence as superior to mere brilliancy. I lis predecessor was a man of striking parts, but the results of his work were a crop of difficulties and discouragements. Mr. W'ashiyama took up the task with great quietness and steady nerve. Now after three years of patient sowing the reaping time has come. If it were not for the drain of departures to the mainland there would he a church well filled with Christians to attest the success of this evangelist. As it is several are awaiting baptism, and the leading men of the Japanese cam]) look to this Christian preacher for guidance in difficulty. Across the wide gulches in Kukuihaele Mr. Shiraishi is holding nightly conversation classes on Christianity and has already won the men of wide influence to sobriety. He trios to cover too much ground —Kukuihaele, Honokaa and I'aauhou —and is not sparing himself in his work. If he is able to maintain the pace we may expect to hear good news of constant progress throughWe need a out northern Hamakua. second evangelist to he associated with Mr. Shiraishi. Meantime Rev. Mr. Saito at Papaikou is putting rare energy into that field. Ile is constantly winning new and knows how to preach evangelistic sermons. Many men from his own province are at this plantation and a number of them take an earnest part in the work. converts The Hilo Ordination. At last the Japanese Church in Hilo has a pastor again. The Kalapana Association appointed a committee to assist in the ordination of Rev. Kwan Higuchi, a licentiate of Maui Association. Accordingly on the afternoon of Sunday, March 4, in the Hilo Japanese meeting house, a goodly congregation of worshipers, in addition to a number of ministers, gathered to take part in the impressive service. Rev. S. Kodama presided. A public examination of Mr. Higuchi, conducted by his brethren in the ministry, showed him to be strong in the faith, and like most Japanese preachers, favoring liberal rather than conservative views of Scripture interpretation. After a unanimous vote to proceed with the ordination the services were continued. All the ministers present joined in the solemn ceremony of the laying on ot hands, while Rev. S. Kodama offered the ordaining prayer. Rev. M. Saito gave the right hand of fellowship, Rev. ( >. 11. Gulick the charge to the people, Rev. S. Kodama the charge to the pastor, and Rev. D. Scudder delivered the sermon. Rev. K. Higuchi closed the exercises with the benediction. Hilo Church now has a pastor well qualified to lead it into larger efficiency ami success. It is to be congratulated also upon possessing in Mrs. Higuchi a thoroughly trained pastor's wife, graduate of Kobe Bible Women's Training School. Success at Olaa Rev. Shokichi Kodama went to ()laa about one year ago. Sickness and frequent movings had laid heavy hands upon him and he seemed of all our evanbelists the one chosen by Providence for special trials. But in the light of today it is clear that the testing of misfortune and bereavement were only fitting him for a sphere of larger service.

Here through the kindness of Manager Watt a good building was set apart for school and church. But SO faithfully has Mr. Kodama labored that this is already outgrown and Mr. Watt is considering the question of larger quarters, Meantime the approved Christian character and integrity of Mr. Kodama have won rare recognition from his countrymen. He is viewed now as the leading Japanese in ()laa.

Perhaps nothing The Settlements. The good news is out that Lahaina is to have its Baldwin House. For some years the kindergarten there has been doing beautiful work, and now it has been decided to broaden out, engage Head Worker and assistants and institute a thoroughly up-to-date Settlement.

Put gentleness and so well illustrates the position which Mr. Kodama has won as his relation to the Buddhist leaders in the Hilo region. Recently a change of priests was made in Olaa. The chief priest at Hilo called on Mr. Kodama, told him of the new man who was coming from Japan and added, "He is ignorant of conditions in these „ BUDDHIST TEMPLE—LAUPAHOEHOE. shop work, five hours and twenty-five minutes in study and recitations, three hours and three-quarters in play, eight hours and a half in bed, leaving two hours and twenty minutes lor eating and devotional exercises, round out an ideal day.

They have built 1300 thing our Japanese preachers can do is to cultivate the personal friendship of Buddhist priests, invite them to study the teachings of Jesus, try to win them to understand the Spirit of the Gospel and thus lead them to become friends. In this way it is possible that with prayer and through love not a few of them may be brought to Christ. At all events their cooperation may be secured in many enterprises looking to the social betterment of Japanese laborers in Hawaii. We commend this spirit and this line of service to all Japanese Christians among us. dining room, kitchen and store rooms, built the range, made all their bedsteads of iron, ami done almost all the plumbing. They carry on a flourishing curio factory and take orders for tasteful koa tables. The place fairly hums with busyness. The new school house is a marvel of much in little.

In another column we print some observations upon this unique school, made by a lady visiting Hawaii, and published in the I lilo Tribune. Strong Educational Current In an article on "Public School Programs" in the (hitlook last year, Ur.A. S. Draper, Commissioner of Education for the State of New York, voiced the feeling of an increasingly large number of educators in the following paragraph: "Perhaps Hampton and Tuskegee have some lessons of wide application in American education. Established to meet a grave National peril, sustained by gifts and forced to every economy, sobered by responsibility ami ripened by struggles, they are educating large numbers, both academically and industrially, at a minimum of cost, with the attendant advantages of simple living, and through such real work as makes men and women. This is what we need North and South. East ami West." | Italics ours. | It is a frequent experience for those who have bad the fullest advantages of college and professional training on visiting Hampton Institute or Tuskegee, to exclaim, "Alas, these boys of darker skin are receiving an education which 1 would give much to have had." Not a few thoughtful men realize that America is over-educating a part of the human nature, which its schools are endeavoring to train. The gospel of work is well nigh forgotten. In this connection a recent plea from Porto Rico deserves careful attention. The writer is a gentleman intimately acquainted through long residence with the conditions there. The entire burden of the appeal of this friend of Porto Rico to the American people is in behalf of industrial and agricultural training for the great mass of Porto Ricans. KOHALA GIRLS' SCHOOL �THE FRIEND. 6 Conditions in Hawaii make the same demand. Our schools must teach the love of work and the way to work if this Territory is ever to "realize its possibilities. In this connection Hilo Boarding School, Lahainaluna and Kamehameha are doing the highest possible service. If the Mid-Pacific Institute is to be of any value to the future of the young Asiatics among us, it must make its chief function the education of men able to help develop the agricultural resources of Hawaii. It is interesting to note that the boys of Lahainaluna contribute by their work several thousands of dollars annually to their own support by raising taro. The Ever-Present Curse, How our authorities can continue to issue saloon licenses in remote countrydistricts in the face of the numerous protests that rain into the Territorial offices passes understanding. If our public servants could sec with their own eyes the havoc wrought by these tiny pestof disthe pensers, could witness the dismay good people of a little community when a license secured by false and fraudulent statements is plumped down in their midst, and consider the civic crime of allowing alien (apanese and Chinese to debauch our own citizens.it seems as though they could not for a moment consent to grant licenses without first investigating the character of the signatures and of the statements offered in their support. Perjury, false declarations of notaries, forgery of names of men purporting to give approval, all are charged on good evidence, vet no investigation follows and the Government continues to grind out licenses. Surely this thing ought to stop. The Friend believes in the most liberal policy towards Asiatics consistent with justice, but it sees nothing except the rankest injustice in allowing Asiatic aliens license to prey upon American citizens under the guise of the present liquor law. GREAT DOINGS AT KALAPANA. Hawaii chose a lands-end place for its spring association meeting this year. The big island certainly could have done no better. Before the party. which left Hilo on the 6 p. m. Puna train and Pahoa at 7130 Wednesday, Feb. 28, had gone half the distance through the woods and over the lava fields, they thought they were journeying to the world's limit. The onehorse, one-donkey team had nearly tipried out the party more than once and many a weary ascent had been climbed on foot before midnight brought them to the village and its hearty welcome; yet Mr. and Mrs. Gulick were as lively as colts the next morning. There was wine in the air, but none in the town, for Kalapana boasts no saloon. Deputy Sheriff Simon H. Haaheo is a marked man among Hawaiian constables. "No work for him in Kalapana except ushering people into church," is Mr. John M. Martin's way of putting it. Some wretch with social murder in his eye, recently headed towards this oasis in the desert of salooncursed Hawaii with a petition in hand to prey upon his fellow -men. He trudged back to Hilo a sadder and wiser man. He found not a single signer. Sheriff Haaheo fared better. Every man in the place put his name to the anti-saloon protest which this doughty champion of the law carried round. Where in this Territory can another such policeman or town be found ? The houses of Kalapana are scrupulously clean and hear every mark of prosperity, yet the boards of which they are built had to be borne donkey-back from Hilo, 35 miles away. The local teacher reported 65 scholars, every one of Hawaiian blood, with no foreign families in town except two of Chinese stock. Happy Kalapana! May Cod keep her clean and sober. The hospitality of the place was beautiful as it was bounteous. A huge booth of skeleton timbers, roofed with galvanized iron and elapboarded with great cocoanut palm leaves, served as dining room for the entire Association. Here the local church dispensed generous provision from beginning to end of the festival. Add to this a spiritual atmosphere redolent with true brotherly affection, perfect weather, a revelation to all for its cool tonic quality, orderliness and despatch in every arrangement, and it is no wonder that the Association voted it one of the best meetings ever held. Spontaneity, good cheer, a bubbling over of humor and fun, business conducted with sua]) and vigor, and enthusiasm voiced in speaking of a high order characterized every session. Tt was good to be there. The devotional services were no empty form. They were the overflowing of hearts filled with spiritual earnest- indefinite length of service which has been the universal practice in these Islands, churches be advised to invite pastors to remain for five years, the term to be extended, if satisfactory. This proposal was discussed at length and voted unanimously. Another move of great significance was to urge neighboring churches, too weak to support a minister independently, to merge their financial strength and unite in settling a common pastor. Great enthusiasm was aroused over the question of systematic benevolence and the churches pledged themselves to stand by both the Hawaiian and American Boards with generous contributions. The Hoard was also requested to consider the feasibility of issuing a weekly publication to contain one sermon in each number. This periodical is to be subscribed for by all the Churches and the sermon is to be read publicly in every meeting house where a regularly ordained pastor is not present to preach. Probably no more important action looking towards a healthier and intelligent religious life in small communities has been taken for years than this. Services are regularly held in scores of meeting houses in I lawaii where ignorant, untrained men go through the form of preaching in the absence of the ordained pastor or stated supply. If the Board grants the request of the Association, iiereafter every such preaching place will ness. Some notable achievements were recorded. The Association voted to license Mrs. Ruth B. Baker of Kona to preach. This is the first instance of the kind in the history of the Territory. Last year it sanctioned the calling of a pastor for a term of two years. This action was repeated at Kalapana, and then the somewhat radical step was taken of recommending that in place of the call for HAWAII ASSOCIATION-KALAPANA �THE FRIEND be supplied each Sabbath with a carefully prepared sermon to be read to the congregation. To speak of all the good things done and said at Kalapana would fill many columns. It is enough to add that everyone who attended the spring meeting of 1906, will remember it as an occasion of rare profit and that the delegates carried to their Churches a new spirit of consecrated enthusiasm. A HOT TIME IN KIPAHULU. Maui Association is s/ti generis "Enough orators to man the British Parliament," was the comment of one attendant at its semi-annual meeting in Kipahulu. Like Kalapana, this town is a jumping-off place. Unlike that oasis in Puna, however, saloons have a deadlygrip upon it. Maui is fair, but the touch of the drink demon is always a fingerprint of filth. Hence out-at-thc-elbowness marks many of the Hawaiian surroundings of Kipahulu. But the generous hospitality that characterizes every community in Hawaii, was lavished by plantation Manager llancberg and all the others in this town. The Claudine took down a large deleThe opening day, Sunday, gation. March 18, was full of good things. Bui Monday and Tuesday were characterized by a lot of sparring. Last fall the Association ran away with itself, chose a Ruling Committee, decreed any number of foolish innovations and attempted to exercise strict control of local matters. Naturally the churches were very restive under this over lordship, hitherto entirely unknown in the history of these Islands. In consequence it cost a little to bring matters hack to the old lines, and most of the first two days were consumed in this unpleasant task. finally the clouds cleared and by iv afternoon the sun shone sereneie of the beauties of the Hawaiian imenableness to gentleness and his nemory for past disagreeables.

"The gods' may help you, I have now nothing for my sons, since you have stolen all the shells filled with syrup." "Oh, my dear and good Ei Xubarara," said the girl, "let me go this time and I will do anything for you, I will even become your servant and faithfully obey you." The old woman answered and said, "1 need no servant, the little I do. I do out of love for my children, myself, I need neither food, drink nor sleep." "( )h, lit me go, forgive me dear, dear Ei Xubarara, and I will tell you a secret which my grandmother has told me." "All right, silly child, tell me what it is." "I can cure your blindness." "No, no. that you can not, many have tried to do so, hut have failed." "Only let me try, and if I fail to cure you, you can do what you like with inc." At last Ei .Xubarara released the arm of the girl, and Ei Digit at once took the old woman's face in both hands, and, after she had murmured a few words, she spat in her eyes. And behold, lizards and bugs came crawling out of the old woman's eyes and in a few more moments she could see. In her delight she clapped her hands and shouted, "What a beautiful world is this. I always thought that the world was dark and ugly, hut now I shall also Ik- able to set- the faces of my beloved sons. Hut I must think about you now, for if I do not hide you, my sons will surely kill you, because they destroy everyone they meet." She therefore hid Ei Gigu under a large oil trough which hap]>cned to be empty, and told her to keep perfectly quiet, because Sun. Moon and Thunder would be there directly. Shortly after Ei Digit had received this warning, Equan arrived in all lis glory and so blinded his mother's eyes that she was forced to turn her eyes away. As Equan saw this he asked his mother, "Why do you turn your face from me? You never did this before." to "Because I can see you now, something I could never do before, my dear boy.' as Equan asked this, the other Dehao and Maraman, came also, and his mother, when she saw Maraman, thought how mild and beautiful he looked in comparison with Kquan. Just two sons, Maraman went nearer to his mother and said, "How is this, that you look us just as if you could see us?" at "Yes," she said, "I can look at you and Debao, but Equan with his splendor hurts my eyes." "Hut mother what scent is this? It smells like human beings." "That is so, my children, a human being, a young and pretty maiden is in the vicinity, and it was her who cured my blindness. The girl is so beautiful aiid sweet, that I think that one of you ought to marry her." "Yes," said the three of them, "let the girl come and we will decide who shall marry her; we shall not he jealous of each other." Ei Xubarara went to the oil trough and as she lifted it up, Ei rtgU came out. Ei .Xubarara took the girl's hand and led her to her sons, saying, "Ei Gigu, make * your choice now which of my sons yon would desire as a husband." Ei Gigu thought the matter over for a lew minutes and then said: "Kquan I can not marry, he is too hot, and his splendor blinds me; Debao seems to be too wild and vicious, but Maraman looks so mild and good that I do not fear to become his wife." Maraman was glad to heat this decision and without much more ado he took up his bride and sailed with her through Hu- skies. And up to this day, Ei Gigu looks down on this cold world as the happy and beloved wife of Maraman. This is the story of the "Woman ill tin- Moon" as told on Nauru. I'll. C. DELAPORTE. | Taken from bis Annual Report, which is of great interest. Ed.] — TWO LARGE DAMS ON OAHU. ( )n this island are two new reservoir dams, one just completed, anil one well The advanced towards completion. former, blocking the Kaukonahua stream on the broad Wahiawa Divide, twentytwo miles north of our city, impounds for irrigation of the Waialua uplands the combined waters of the two branches of that stream, which gather the rainfall of some twelve square miles of mountain The latter dam impounds in a ridges. small lake the very copious rainfall upon three or four square miles of the upper or Luakaha section of Xuuanu Valley, lying adjacent to the famous Pali. That water is devoted to the city supply of Honolulu, to be distributed as now from the present lower reservoir at 300 feet elevation, Both the new reservoirs above named are at about the same elevation, approximately *hk> feet, ami arc probably of similar area and capacity, The steep, rugged mountains of these Islands rarely afford any sites of adequate breadth for reservoirs, and never for any extended ones. That at Wa- descent of the two streams for the last mile before their junction, with high banks on each side. Setting back and rising over one hundred feet between those hanks, creates a large storage area of water. The published figures concerning this reservoir are as follows: Storage capacity, 2,500,000,<xxj gallons. 11 eight of dam, 136 feet. Length of dam, 461 feet. Thickness at base, 580 feet. Stone backing, 26,000 cubic yards. Earth tilling. I4i,(xx> cubic yards. Cost, $300,000. This concern is the property of a pri- vate corporation, connected with the great Plantation, unlike the dam, which belongs to the Ter- Waialua Luakaha ritorial government. The 36,000 yards of stone backing were all brought on a rajlway from the Kaala mountain, four miles away. This reservoir, as well as the delightful homestead tract of Wa- hiawa adjacent, with its splendid pinefarms, will by next July, be accessible from Honolulu by railway of 25 apple miles. The two dams considered are UnderStood to he constructed upon the most approved engineering principles, securing them against undermining and rupThe breaking of either of them ture. would produce terrific disaster. That of the Luakaha dam would destroy the older residence section of Honolulu lying along Xiiuanu avenue and River, besides ruinous damage to the harbor. Hut it seems quite certain that the most reliable precautions known to engineering experience have been thoroughly employed to create entire safety. It will hi- an inestimable boon to the city of Honolulu when the Luakaha lake shall begin to render us a copious water service lasting through the dry months. This water will be comparatively pure, unlike that at present supplied from the small ponds a mile lower down. It cannot, however, possibly be as pure as the artesian water, which is to a limited extent now supplied, and which with probably little or no greater expense, could have been supplied to the whole city except at the higher residence levels. Artesian water is always absolutely pure. Luakaha water can never be more than approximately clean. There is, however, another plea in favor of the Luakaha dam—that it will furnish a constant and uniform supply of electric power by means of the descent of 500 or 600 feet from the Upper to the lower reservoir. Ibis will render practicable a great extension and improvement of the present S. E. B. hiawa is due to the comparatively small system. �9 THE FRIEND floor.

Thus we became acquainted with the people, and in a measure gained their confidence and some respect we became much interested in them, we were able to relieve many of their needs, find work for those who would work, provide comforts for the very old and sick, and helped many of the helpless neglected little ones to attend school. Thus the way was partly prepared for the Gospel. Still we found some who were only willing to accept our gifts and little acts of kindness. Some were bitterly Opposed to having a Gospel Mission in the district. A few who said they would not have it.

Lyman and his corps of capable teachers arc carrying on within the limits of the Hilo Boarding School a miniature republic, in which the Students maintain a system of government calculated to educate tlieni in the correct principles of industry anil good citizenship. There are over sixty boys attending the school, representing seven nationalities, from the Island of Hawaii and othei islands. The Hawaiians predominate, but all classes live and work together as in one great family. Military discipline is the rule of conduct, and tpiarrels and school fights are unknown. The school has forty acres of land, most of which is under cultivation by the students. Coffee, pineapples, taro, and a small field of cane are scientifically raised, as well as a vegetable garden which supplies the school. In connection with the school the U. S. Experiment Station have planted a field of cacao, or "koko," and are experimenting in growing varieties of bananas. All the work of the school is performed by the students. It is through their efforts that the farm produces the taro, fruit and vegetables for their table. The carpenter and blacksmith classes make all the necessary repairs upon the buildings, furniture and farm implements. The hoys learn plumbing, stone crushing and masonry through their efforts to advance the actual needs of the institution. Besides this, there is the daily attention the school rooms, shops and dormitories THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING ON NAURU. By Rev. P. A. Delaporte.

France did wrong in demanding and taking a portion of the sovereignty of the king from him in giving the Trench consul the nomination of a jury. England indicted another wrong by demanding and taking another similar portion by securing the same power for their consul.

I suppose the real extent of that was given me at Puiiahoii and inakai was ten times as large as the plantation at Punahou. If it has not been lost by the failure of taxes, or by some mismanagement, the whole original grant must be now, or must become very valuable.

The enclosed 20 acres I presume will not be disputed and perhaps the rest may not be. 'Though it has been a matter of some regret that the grant has not been made more productive for the furtherance of the cause of the Mission, 1 am glad to have so much of it devoted to the Academy for the children of the missionaries who are devoting their lives to the nation, as can be adrantageously used for that purpose. It seems to me that with proper arrangements and care, cultivation, pasturage, producing fine salt, poultry, etc.. the original grant might nearly or quite support the school, even though some outlay was made to bring out its resources or enclose it. I was sorry to hear there was not force enough in the leading men of Honolulu to have a sugar mill for the whole district, and that fields of cane were allowed to become waste. I am too far off now to judge corsuch matters in the detail. If K. had put in operation a good mill in '41 to call forth the industry and enterprise of the people and turned Charlton's cattle off from the plantation, and got those matters arranged before he built his palace and then built it, perhaps it would have been a better arrangement.

I �14 which has hitherto obstructed due attention to the illuminating and sanctifying trutlis involved in the study of our Lord's Personality? Has not the Church allowed one great line of Christian thought to obscure an even more necessary exhibit of Divine Truth? The Atoning merit of the Sacrifice has probably been so taught as to unduly occupy the thought to the exclusion of the lovely vision of the gracious Redeemer himself. The old and now outworn theology was greatly engrossed in that department called Theodicy. It studied the Justice of God, to the obscuring of his Fatherly tenderness of Love, his solicitude to save men from the deadly poison of Sin. It misrepresented him as supremely solicitous to safeguard his righteous Justice, more than to pour out his tender Mercy. God is indeed concerned not to be misconstrued as being indifferent to the heinousness of Sin. Therefore in the Sacrifice of the Cross he provides an adequate exhibition of his sense of its evil. But above all he longs to be recognized in his Fatherly tenderness reaching after the straying and fallen children. And it seems even more important that our doctrine of God should make account of his out-reaching Love than of any inflexible Holiness. In the contrary estimate has been the sad error of the old Theologies. And therefore we believe that it is under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that the Lord's servants are being led to a closer contemplation of the loving Redeemer, even if in their imperfect perspective they leave out of sight other important doc- trine. So we may perhaps regard the present tendency though defective, yet as being in a most needed direction, and as a clear call of the Holy Spirit to turn our eyes steadfastly upon the person and character of the Lord Jesus. 1 le visibly stands before us as God's Likeness. In him we behold a Vision of God, as in no other object in the Universe. In contemplating Jesus, and pondering upon him, we receive into mind and heart the vision of the Highest, and shall become moulded into the Divine likeness. This then is transcendent above all other Religious Thought. And it is of supreme practical power. Look steadfastly- at Jesus, and habitually ask, "How would my Lord do if he were in my place now ?" How would he conduct these affairs, and fulfil these duties ? Let this become the habitual thought of every Christian, and how soon Earth would ring with the sweet song of Christian living and Christian loveliness.
