All believers in a clean score at the beginning of us now. a new year, should rally to T. R. Grent 1906 Catastrophe. The rnornuig of April 18 will not be forgotten by present day residents of Hawaii. Ever since the discovery of gold ill California the fortunes of the metropolis of Hie Pacific Coast and of these Islands have been most closely interwrought. The communities dominating each have been very different, but the sympathy between them has been singularly deep. San Francisco has been consistently Hawaii's friend and has stood by the Islands with rare generosity. This has been reciprocated with a loyal affection. When therefore the brief lllessage was flashed across the ocean and transmitted from island to island of the ?roup, "San Francisco devastated by earthquake," the Territory felt as if the calamity had fallen upon itself. Business was suspended, hut one topic ol conversation was heard, and every effort was bent to secure fuller tidings of the terrible visitation. The heart of the community turned at once to the only possible source of relief from the strain, the sympathy of outpoured gifts in aid of Everywhere the stricken thousands. with a spontaneity and generosity that was beautiful to behold, men of all races. yellow and brown, black and white, and of every or no creed, whether Buddhist, devotee of Confucius. Mortnon or Chris tian, nay, even the children of Honolulu's shuns, joined in the godlike virtue of giving. Hawaii was hound to have a share in rebuilding the stricken Queen n.f the Eastern I'acitic. The Chinese, with a spirit that must touch their bitterest foes, rose to the occasion and diverted funds raised for the advancement of their own fatherland to the sacred cause of relief, declining to contribute solely for their suffering countrymen in San Francisco by voting with great enthusiasm to add their c|uota lo the general subscription. The appeal to our common human nature has made the whole world kin out here in the MidI'acific. Hawaii's message to San Francisco is first one of deepest sympathy and second the expression of fullest confidence in the splendid spirit which we believe will rebuild upon the ruins a nobler municipality, chastened by the fiery trial into the expression of a civic life worthier No. r than ever of the great century in which we live.

San Francisco then was a city of low buildings, else the record mighl have approached somewhat the of the present disaster. .The earlier catastrophe, like that of last month, came in the morning before the business of the city had reached ifs diurnal height, yet unlike it. late enough to find all mercantile establishments open. There was not quite force enough to overthrow any buildings, but chimneys came down very generally, socalled "fire walls" were precipitated into the streets, some live persons were killed and many brick structures were cracked The shocks and otherwise damaged. continued for days and even weeks, and the nervous strain of the oft-repeated shakings told severely upon many. Fbr days hundreds slept upon the street, which were quite full of people at all hours. Oakland, which escaped then as now. received a great impetus. The extent chief feature, however, which memory preserves, is the feeling of nameless fear which the earthquake produced in all hearts. Multiply this many fold, add to the sense of the complete failure of the one fundamental source of human con- ceptions if stability—the solid carth — the wild terror of fire tinfightahle and sweeping everything before it, supplement this witn the horrors of the wounded and dying penned up by fallen walls and hemmed in from escape by conquering flames, imagine the black darkness of a lightless city illumined by the lurid glare of fires blazing in many sections, and some faint conception may be had of what our friends and relatives in stricken San Francisco have been called upon to hear. To us who, because of previous residence or long association or frequent visitation have learned to love the city of the Golden Gate, the pathos of seven square miles of ruin anil black devastation is unspeakable. We can �4 only take the calamity to heart as having befallen ourselves and in deepest sympathy bear our over-sea brothers to the Throne of Grace as we assure them by our messages of cheer and our openhanded gifts that we strive to share their unutterable experience. The Eighty-fourth Anniversary The month of May will be busy with one of the most carefully planned meetings ever held by the Evangelical Association. A glance at the feast prepared will show it to contain promise of rare refreshment. One of the new departures for Hawaii will l>e the physical relief of strain proposed in the daily outings. This feature has so commended itself to convention managers on the mainland that the most successful religious assemblies held during the months and at places where recreational hours are feasible, make use of this expedient to strengthen the grip of spiritual things upon the minds of those who attend them. The psychologic soundness of this procedure is beyond question and practically it works beyond expectation for permanent results. Let the play hours of the coming meeting be real play times and the praying sessions will be more truly spent ii]x>n the Mount of Transfiguration. The Bible in the Meeting. This is pre-eminently the age of Bible study. There never before was so faithful searching of the written Word to find out whence it came, what it means and what message from God it carries. Hawaii must not lag in this spiritual discipline. Nowadays a great religious convention which turns its back upon the scriptures by failing to provide some hours for thoughtful study is not doing its full duty. Believing this, the Committee on Program has decided to take up one of the shorter books of the Bible and devote forty-five minutes daily to exposition. The aim is to make the book live in the Christian experience of every delegate, to unfold the practical truth it contains, to open to the preacher its rich store of preaching material and to stiffen the moral backbone with the ethical tonic of the Apostle James' perThe German sonal Christian life. Luther may have had no use for James, but Twentieth Century Hawaii nee Is him badly. It is proposed to pray as well as to study the truths of the book into the inner life of all who come together.

No bickerings, but concentration of attention on practical themes, a growing passion for purity of life among all disciples of Jesus, care to provide a faithful minister for each Church, caution against admitting the unworthy to the pastorate and an eye to the ideals of the age are some of the characteristics of Kauai Christianity as evidenced in the local association. ()ne very important ques- tion was proposed for the meeting in May—the change of the Week of Prayer from January to Holy Week. This is in line with the great modern movement toward Christian unity and is commending itself everywhere to disciples of our Master. The evils of our present liquor laws are felt most keenly on Kauai, not only by Churches, hut also by plantation managers, employers of labor generally, and all thoughtful patriots. The anomaly of fetching Chinese and Japanese to this Territory to prey upon our people, debauch, impoverish and ruin them body, mind and spirit with cheap and nasty drinks, is creating a wave of indignant protest that was loudly voiced in the Association. population there has been quietly observing this young Japanese and is unstinted in praise 01 his selt-iorgetfulness and of the beautiful way in which he has dedicated all his rare powers to the little ones.

All sorts of tales are rife in Kauai concerning the Pilgrims and our little company was advised not to plan to reach Kapaa until y, as the Molokans were said to love late hours in getting to work. We set out, however, with 5:30 in mind, but did not get to the camp until 6. Alas, inquiry at the leader Michael Shokoff's house failed to find him. Scouring the camp we could round up only four men, two of whom were sick and two bound for the Pacific coast. The others were busy in the fields. Thus, one canard was tracked down. Fortunately the sick man first encountered, could talk English, invited us to his home, introduced us to his wife and made us welcome with rrue Russian hospitality.

His work has told wonderfully. Little by little the attendance has grown until having lately reached 70 the building was found too small. The plantation gladly seconded the suggestion of enlargement by granting the land and the plucky Japanese teacher determined to secure $500 from his countrymen for the building. The parents of his pupils rallied to the movement and surprised every one, even themselves, by contributing nearly $800. The enlarged building was formally opened May 22 with suitable exercises, a goodly audience of various races joining in the ceremony. Mr. Uchida has given himself to the children of Lihue with rare devotion and in consequence has won not only their love, but also the admiration and affection of their parents.

The Molokans are likely to come forth from their distresses into this same blissful state of mind. A Hopeful Experiment. In one of the Kauai plantations a plan is on foot to assign to each of a number of Japanese families a small piece of land secured to the holder by a long lease, which will protect him in making those improvements about the home which are so dear to members of this race. To all intents and purposes this land will belong to the lessee. He can do what he wills with it. At the same time it will lie of suitable area to be worked out of regular hours and the holder will give his time as now to the plantation at market juice.

India is a of The religious philosophy vast Mtil complicated system of thought, far removed from the ordinary Western wav s of thinking. I shall endeavor to explain as briefly as possible its fundamental doctrines and their practical hearing on life and character. As Sir Monier Williams remarks: "In no other system in the world is the chasm so vast which separates the religion of the higher, cultured and thoughtful classes from that of the lower, uncultured and unthinking masses." The farmer may be called I'.rahiiiitiisni and the latter Hinduism. Still underlying all this variety of beliefs and practices there is a subtle pantheistic philosophy, which niav he called the C( IRE of I linduisin and which pervades and colors them all. I'll I'.

V KM.vs. When the Aryan conquerors first en teretl India from the northwest, about the lime of Moses, their religion was still a simple worship d the gnat phenomena of nature. 'Their hymns and prayers called VF.DAS, which formed the earliest bible of the Hindus, were addressed io the Sky-god VARUNA, the Fire-god AGN'I. the Rain-god INDRA, and the Sun-god SI'KYA. who is sometimes identified with the Sky god, There are also hymns to lesser deities, such as (he Dawn, the Wind and Storm gods, etc.. ami NAM \. the god of Hades, who was a deified king. Amidst much that is trivial and puerile, the \Tdic hymns contain some beautiful and noble passage. They are generally polytheistic, but occasionally address (he Sun god or the Sky god as the Supreme being, while al oilier times their language plainly savors of Pantheism. Al that early period there was no worship paid to idols, no burning of widows, nor legalized infanticide, no hint of divine incarnations and no doctrine ot transmigration. The division of the people into castes was just taking definite shape. The change from \'edisni to llrahaniisiu was gradual. The germs of the latter may be found in the "Veda." v. 'The ablest thinkers of India in that dark period, many centuries before the TIIK RISK OF BRAHMAN I'll I'.osol'll Christian era, devoted themselves to deep meditation on the problems of the universe and the mysteries of life and death.

They came to the conclusion thai an invisible Power pervaded all Nature, breathed into man the breath of life, and inspired their poets. 'They called this universal life .1 I'M.IX or breath, and also BRAHMAN, from its expansion through all space. Il was supposed to be a "something far more deeply interfused," of which gods, nun and the whole visible world wen- merely manifestations.

These ideas were further developed in a series of philosophical treatises, founded on the \ Ttlas, called the I I'.IMSII.inS, which are held to he equally -acred with them. Later on there arose six successive schools ol philosophy, of which will mention only the l'l:l>.l\ T.I. which has long been the dominant creed of India, and is taught in the schools of Benares today. According to it. Brahma is not merely an all pervading world-soul, "he is ibis very universe and has no second." Il is an axiom with most Hindus that "// is all." That is. they are M. mists. "'The living spirit of man the human Self ( Attnan) is really identical with the Divine Spirit." All distinction of personality, even the existence of the external forld, is MAYA or ILLUSION. "We are such Stuff as dreams are made of." The Hindu Guru or teacher says to his pupil, "I am God, and you are God." Put we must remember that the words "God" and "Divine" have no such mean ing to him as they have to us; if man is a part of God it confers no special distinction on him, for the same thing is said of every other object in nature. In our way of thinking these terms cannot he applied to an unknowable, imThe personal, unconscious essence. orthodox school denies the fundamental distinction between spirit and matter.

It is evident that such an abstruse metaphysical system could not satisfy the cravings of the human soul, which cries out for a living God, a God to whom we can pray and in whom we can trust. The transition from pantheism 'to polytheism was not difficult. 'The gulf was bridged over by the theory ol "emanations." From the impersonal, self existent, uneiiihodied, unconscious "It." a personal deity is evolved by the power of Illusion, and invested with an ethereal body, who becomes the Supreme Lord (ISBARA) of a world of illusion. By some modern writers he is called the "Universal Over-Soul." Later on this being was separated into the three per sonalities of Brahma, the Creator; Vishnu, the Preserver; and Shiva, the Dissolver. constituting the Hindu 'Trinity; Shiva embodying the darker, more obscene and cruel side of Hinduism, and Vishnu the milder and more benevolent side. As for I'rahma. he has but two temples in all India, the mass of the people being divided into Vaishnav ites, worshippers of Vishnu; and Shaivites, worshippers of Shiva, each party considering their patron as the Supreme God. In course of time these three divinities were imagined to have their several wives and countless subordinate deities. Then followed the doctrine of the "AVATARS" or incarnations of Vishnu, who was fabled to have descended to earth nine times in various forms, to deliver his votaries from danger, or to benefit mankind, and a vast |K>pular mythology grew up, all of which lies outside of my subject.

The Pantheistic philosophy has done nothing to remedy these evils. It holds out the right baud of fellowship to fetish worshippers and devil dancers; it has encouraged the adoration of the fish, the boar, the serpent, the monkey and even of trees, plants and stones by the common people, whose very touch the Brahani regards as pollution. The Swam' Vivekananada, at the Chicago Parliament of Religions, passionately denied that any kind of worship should be deemed sinful. "It is wrong," said he, "to call a man a sinner. If a man can realize his divine nature more easily with the help of an idol, why should he not worship before it?" "Every religion," said he, "marks a certain stage of progress, not from error to truth, but from lower truth to higher truth." Indifference to moral distinctions naturally results from pantheism. The unknown "ROOT" has no moral qualities whatever, while the gods of the Hindu Pantheon set an example of the grossest immorality, and many passages in the Sacred Puranas are too vile for translation. We must not forget that this whole universe, (which, as we have seen, is nothing but illusion), is destined, after passing through Seven cycles, (in the fourth of which we are now living). to be re-absorbed ; gods, men, animals. plants, earth, both spirit and matter, into the unknowable Reality, and "like the baseless fabric of a vision, leave not a wrack behind." Then Brahma's dream will end. and he will relapse again into dreamless slumber, until, in the fulness of time, he may evolve another world of illusion. Thus to all eternity, numberless universes will appear and disappear, without any Divine purpose or plan. As Sir Monier Williams observes, it is not difficult to understand how a people imbued with the idea that "this world is all a fleeting show," should have neglected all historical work. No such thing as genuine history or biography exists in Sanskrit literature. Historical researches are to a Hindu, simple foolishness. It is very difficult to fix any date or even the order of events in Indian history. The same thing may be said of the physical sciences. ' IXiKTKINK Of MAN. As has already been explained, the spirit of man must have existed as part of the All-soul from all eternity. The Hindus never had any theory as to how the individual souls were separated from the All-soul, hut took that for granted. 'Their philosophers agree that mind (MANAS) is distinct from the spirit, and is not eternal in the same way. This mind, as they call it, receives impressions from the five senses, and directs the organs 01 action. To it belong the faculties of consciousness, perception and volition or will, fir spirit cannot possess these unless joined to mind and invested with a body or vehicle. Even tne gods have ethereal bodies. "Pure ATM AN or Brahman can neither think, feel or be conscious." 'There are two, or according to some, three bodies; Ist, the subtle body, which incloses the spirit in three sheaths, constituting it a personal spirit. and which remains with it through all its migrations; and 2nd, the gross body. which surrounds the subtle body, and which after death is burned and returns to the elements. Our children arc not changelings or intruders from other families or it may be from other races. They inherit their mental and moral as well as physical traits from their ancestors for many generations hack. "'The continuity and solidarity of the race," as Dr. Hume says, "are undeniable facts," which heighten the responsibility of parents for the characters of their children. Again transmigration is unjust, since it punishes a man for sins which be does not and cannot know anything about. It is in no sense remedial. It does no good to the soul that may have sinned in a former life, for it cannot show him what wrong he has done and lead him to penitence for it. Hence Dante's Purgatory was a far more just and merciful iustittitii >n.

As the God Krishna says in the lihagavad Gita: "Holding the body, head and neck erect, immovably steady, looking fixedly at the point of the nose, * * * * let him sit aspiring after me." 'The object of it all is not to develop to the highest degree the natural powers of body and mind, not to ennoble and sweeten all domestic and social relations, but to repress and put them away. It IS the negative and passive virtues that are cultivated, while the positive and active virtues, and especially the social and civic duties are neglected. After practising self-repression and "mortification of the flesh," and thus accumulating merit through thousands of lives, the "YOGI" or devotee may attain a condition of superhuman knowledge and magical powers as an "ARIIA I. The final goal is absorption into "It," a condition beyond profound slumber, described in one of the "Cpanishads" as having "no inner consciousness, nor outer consciousness, not pure intelliIt is gence nor non-intelligence," etc. hard to distinguish this kind of "Bliss" or "YOGA," from the Xirrana or annihilation of the orthodox Buddhists. It is certainly a descent from a higher to a lower mode of existence. Self-imposed torture (tapas) is also practiced by many aspirants to acquire merit and superior sanctity, and is carried to greater extremes in India than m any other country. From the East this baleful superstition crept into the Christian Church at a very early period, with far-reaching and pernicious results. St. Simon Stylites on his pillar; the Trappist monk with his vow of perpetual silence; Loyola scourging himself in the cave of Manresa: the Mohammedan dervish ; and the Indian fakir, are all under the spell of the same delusion. ceremonial rites and sacrifices, on pil- grimages to holy shrines, bathing in sacred waters and the like, but these outward observance are despised by the Brahman philosopher or "YOGI." Such a system cannot but produce morbid introspection and spiritual pride. It is intended to be an "esoteric" way of salvation for the select few, rather than a gospel for the poor and the ignorant. Genuine "altruism" or love for others cannot be produced by force of will prompted by self-interest. We need an influence outside of ourselves, proceeding from a Person whom "we love because he first loved us and gave himself for us," one who came not to help us to escape from the "Wheel of Life." but that we "might have life and have it more abundantly," one who saves sinners here and now in this life, one through whom we may attain union with the Father of our spirits, without loss of conscious existence, but rather with infinite gain.

The proposed new organization will be but a grafting upon the parent plant. Indeed, some of its officers might well be re-elected. The distinctive feature of the present plan is that there will be a number of Corresponding Secretaries, one for each nationality, i.e., Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. These Secretaries, along with the officers, i. e.. President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Recording Secretary, will form the Executive Committee of "'The Sunday School Union of I lavvaii." All of this committee ought to reside in Honolulu, so that it might hold regular monthly meetings, or oftener if deemed necessary. The Islands are at present in close touch with the International Sunday School Association, having a representative upon its Executive Committee. Heretofore many valuable suggestions and plans of work have been received from this committee, but there has been no way to project these ideas into our different Island Sunday Schools. With six Corresponding Secretaries interested in the growth of the Master's Kingdom and willing to work, our Sunday Schools all over the Islands ought to receive a mighty impetus. 'There is so much to be gained by our becoming more closely affiliated with the great organized Sunday Scliool work of the world. To know that there are over twenty million people studying the same lesson and facing the same vexatious problems with us ought to afford us great inspiration. Every Sunday School throughout the group of Islands ought to be thoroughly graded from the Beginners to the Adult department; ought to have vigorous home and cradle roll departments ; ought to maintain a weekly teachers' meeting and a Bible training normal class; ought to be developing an "esprit dv corps" that would settle the question of how to hold the big boy and ought to be thoroughly alive to every help that will prepare the ground for Given God's spirit and an organized human agency as its channel and man need never doubt its invincibility.

Many adult grandchildren, some with offsprings of their own, followed her to the grave. More than fifty years ago, Mrs. Taylor in Honolulu was an important renter of influence as the active and judicious wife of the first pastor of the Tort Street Church, organized in 1852 by the Rev. Townsend E. Taylor. Disabled by asthma, Mr. Taylor removed in 1855 with his family to California, where he long continued as an active and prominent worker among the Congregational Churches, mostly in connection with the American Home Missionary Society.

When she was dead the king commanded a general hula and the people turned out in great numbers to dance in honor of the new babe. There were strange goings on—such carousing, etc. At the end of one month the child sickened and died although it had every appearance previously of being well. ()ur children and the natives think it was a judgment to the king for the hula. The king wrote a letter to us and our family announcing its birth and called it one of our scholars. He said when it could walk and was weaned he should send it here. When he died the king wrote and said "ua make ka hanai a oukou"—our charge is dead.

The missionaries have also expressed their opinion of respect to the Admiral in a former letter. 'These expressions of our esteem are highly prized hv the Admiral.

William's father and mother being added to our family adds very much to my cares and trouble. They filled my children's tabu yard with natives and they are very much afraid to do anything for their children themselves, yet they want that everything should be done. They do not consider that we have seventeen children besides William to look after, board, teach, etc. I ought not to complain. The)' manifest great confidence in us and agree readily to any proposition respecting the children. This morning they came in to say that they had concluded to build a house in our yard.
