There is one general store in run by an old Chinaman and since he has been granted a bottle license it is a common thing of an evening to hear beastly language and to see drunken natives, men and women, reeling in and out of his store, and fights. Children are kept away from school to pick coffee at 40 cents a day and the money goes for gin, etc., and police supervision is simply a farce in the district." Statements of this kind from the most careful observers can be bad all over the Territory. The country parts of Hawaii are full of alien young men who are unmarried. The tiny licensed Japanese and Chinese gin mills are dens of vice where unprotected country school girls are lured to destruction. To permit aliens to sell liquor is to endanger the womanhood of the next generation in this Territory. It is certainly time to call a halt in this frightful traffic. The Way Out.

HAWAIIAN CHRISTIANITY. A correspondent of unusual ability writes as follows: "The question tfiat I should like to meet, if I could, is one that is always brought up when the success of missionary effort in the Pacific is spoken of, i.e. the permanency and thoroughness of the benefits wrought by Christianity on the native races. Can you put me in track of reliable and helpful material in regard to the present Industrial. Educational and Physical status of the Hawaiiaus? Are they dying out? Are they secretly pagan in their superstitions? Will they work? Do the children continue to progress after adolescence? People who go to Hawaii to live come back to discount the work in all these lines. I met a man the other day who insisted that while the children learned quickly, there was a bar beyond which the native never progressed, a sort of arrested development that kept him continually inferior and childish. Any material that I can get on the encouraging side I am eagerly colIn regard to the mixture of lecting. races also I have seen somewhere the statement that the Chinese and Polynesian races were fusing in Hawaii to the very great advantage of the latter. Is this true on any large scale?" Anything like an adequate reply to this very thoughtful inquiry would expand a short article into a volume. The difficulty with all such estimates, as that of the man quoted by the lady who writes the above, is that they are apt to be based upon superficial data. For the sake of simplicity and clearness the questions may be ranged under four heads: I. —PHYSICAL STATUS. Are the Hawaiiaus dying out? In answering this question it must be remembered that when Captain took discovered 1 lawaii, some 128 years ago, the race was practically pure and unmixed. We speak carelessly of Slavs, Teutons, AngloSaxons, Franks, Basque*, Turks, Mongols. Malays, etc., forgetting that none of these is pure. The great continental races are all admixtures, one effect of commingling being to strengthen the powers of resistance to disease. As pointed out by Dr. Bishop these great, strong, permanent stocks owe much of their vigor to the fact that through freedom of intercourse they have become comThe Hawaiian, paratively immune. through isolation, missed this advantage. This immunity is a physical quality not to be gained by a race in a few years. There can be no question that contact with other relatively immune races bringing to him their diseases has played sad havoc with the man of these islands. Race indulgence in certain habits, too, such as the use of alcohol, tends to strengthen the ability to resist their ill effects. The Hawaiian, to a notable degree, finds alcohol more deadly than the liquor-using races that have come here. Considerations of this nature explain the sorrowful record of racial decline from 71,019 of Hawaiian blood in 1X53 to 37,035 in 1900. That this process will end in extinction of tiie race does not follow. Immunity measles) has been measurably established. like In manner power to survive in the life struggle is ( for instance as to death from being developed in the remnant of the race. How large this remnant will be and whether the stage of equilibrium between the forces of racial death and life has not already been nearly reached, can not he told because of admixture. The Hawaiian will not die out, but like the other pure races he will be married out of existence. He will persevere as a distinct strain and his finer qualities of gentleness, courtesy, hospitability and the like will tone into beauty the rougher stocks with which he commingles. In 'osiiig his life he will thus save it. In this race admixture it is a fact that the commingling of Polynesian and Chinese gives a nature of remarkable strength and possibility. Though these intermarriages can scarcely be said to have taken place "on a large scale" there have been enough of them to form the basis of a sure generalization. The admixture of white and brown has not been so successful, hut given time and the amelioration of race prejudice under our present government, the resultant of this process of commingling promises to prove good. The coming man of Hawaii a century hence will be a creditable member of the human family. II. — INDUSTRIAL STATUS, The Hawaiian has not had time to develop the commercial habit. How long it took other races, who possessed the advantage of continguity with one another, to do this is worth remembering in this connection. There arc almost no successful merchants of pure Hawaiian stock in this Territory. This is due primarily to the cause just stated, also to the fact that others have done all that was needed in this line as well as to the existence of other demands for the exercise of the 1 lawaiian's powers. A large number of this people till successfully the soil which the? own. At the last census in itjoo more than 43 per cent, of the homes occupied by Hawaiiaus were owned by them, while only 28 per cent, of the homes occupied by Caucasians in this Territory were owned by their occupants. The figures are lacking for 1900, but in 1896 one adult Hawaiian in every five owned real estate. Better figures probably prevail today. When Christianity came here none but chiefs were land holders. A race must never be expected to possess what their environment has not required them to own. The absence of winter's cold, or of devastating hurricances, demanding the cultivation of thrift, explain much that the Anglo-Saxon, trained by grim starvation to hoard the products of his toil, condemns. The Hawaiian works, often works hard, but spasmodically as Mother Nature through long centuries taught him to do. He is learning slowly our way of steadier toil because stern competition has reached this Paradise and is successfully fighting Mother Nature. In the care of stock, in many clerical positions and inure and in the trades and profesmore doing Hawaiiaus are fine sions work, The trouble with us white Americans is our impatience. Cod has given us ten thousand years of temperate zone, continental development, which He withheld from the Islander, yet we license the brown man docs not complain overtake us in a paltry century. 111.—KDUCATIONAI. STATUS. "Do they progress after adolescence.''' It is impossible to give a categorical answer to this question. Of a number of favored Hawaiiaus. whose educational opportunities have been good and whose environment after adolescence has been educative, one can unhesitatingly say "Yes." There is a vast difference among white people in this power of continued intellectual progress. A dead line exists for every individual past which no real growth is apparent. With the advance of civilization the human race manifests a has steadily lengthening period of possible individual mental growth. It is undoubtedly true that the average white man ten,ls to progress more after adolescence than the average Hawaiian. If, with all that iie has inherited he did not. the evolutionary theory would have lost a leg. But this capacity to progress after adolescence while not so marked as with us of its exists in the Hawaiian, instances of this race individuals presence in certain that characwhich beyond to a degree terizes certain individuals of our own race finally may unquestionably be found, and upon as' better environment presses in the soul of the native it is slowly length- ening this period of possibility.

CHINESE NOTES. The Chinese are now, most of them, back at their work, all of them having had a most delightful time at the meetings of the Association. The morning prayer meetings, the Bible study, the union and Endeavor meetings were all sources of help and inspiration. Other church workers wire kept busy at the home fields while the preachers were away. ( *m from Hilo writes to Mr. Mo: "I believe that you are in very much longing to hear of our church's affairs, so I do write and tell you all about it. At Sunday morning we had our Sunday school as usual, only Miss I'lion (the new lady) took your place to teach in Chinese, and Chang Sing helped her. After Sunday school we attend to the Sunday service. During �10 the Sunday services Miss E. A. Pomcroy pray and preacn for us, while she was preaching Miss Fhon translate the same into Chinese so every one understood it distinctly." And our elder, Lai Hip, also gave a speach and pray. This was a very pleasant meeting, indeed, every one enjoy it. At the evening we held our Christian Endeavor Society's meeting as regularly, and there is a large attendance at present. The Chinese women is now seems be perceive the Gospel, they willing come to church as far as they have chance, I trust some of them would accept Christ if they come to church continually. I should say that now is the opportunity for us to preach the Gospel to them and to guide them through life. "Pray our dear Heavenly lather will reveal their heart and bring them in the bright .sunshine, Amen." Hoping you will gain much strength in your health. Yours truly, L. AKAU. A letter like this shows that it is often times a good thing for a church, to be left alone for a while. 'The Chinese delegates enjoyed the Ministers' tea party very much. Rev. Eugene Sin, who spoke, was formerly a missionary in the United States. He was converted in a Chinese Sunday school in Chicago many years ago. Dr. Clark was much pleased in meeting Mr. Sin, after the meeting, as he was formerly an elder in that Chicago church where the Chinese Sunday school was held. It was a delightful surprise, to meet a Christian worker from that class, after these many years. So the work is not in vain, in America. China, or Hawaii, it all helps in the building up of the kingdom. Mr. Mo gives us this letter from his old field of work in Canton. It shows the great opportunities there: THE FRIEND The First Church has very large audiences, and often we cannot find seats for all. Last Sunday we had out nearly 500 men and women. Mr. So Fuk Cho preaches occasionally, and he is a very good preacher. Mr. U. Chi Ting will be here soon, and the church has asked him to help me in the work, and this wdll be a great relief to me, as I must be away so much of the time. China is progressing, and there are great opportunities here. We need you much, and I hope you may return at earliest possible day. I have now 40 chapels in the country, and many churches to look after. You would find many improvements here since you left. 'The woman's hospital is nearly full of patients, and we have erected some line buildings in past two years. What we need above all else in China is a large number of earnest Chinese ministers and preachers. This is our greatest need and we are trying to train the men. You must come over and help train them. At Fa Ti Dr. N'oyes is erecting a tine large school building, and there is a great desire on the part of the Chinese students to gain knowledge. 'There are a large number of schools in the city, and some in the country. Let me hear from vmi when you have time. We pray that you may be long spared for the work here. Yours sincerely, A. A. FULTON. Mr. Mo who has done good work for the past three years at Ililo, was planning to go to the United States this year, but he has now decided to give one more year in Hawaii. He will exchange with Mr. Ho Ts Tsung, wdio will go to Ililo. Mr. Ho has done most faithful work in Honolulu and will now find a good field on Hawaii.

There are four distinct phases of work alxjut this center: "The night school in Palama reading room," "the Liliha Street Gospel Mission," "the Kauluwela Sunday School," "the day school for women and girls at the Liliha Mission Home." The night school for men has an enrollment of 23, with an average attendance of 14. This would not be very encouraging, were it not that each is a thorough student, and several have expressed their intention of joining the Church in the near future. Several students are in school for the first time. others have come back after an absence of six months or a year. The attendance at the Liliha street meeting ranges from 25 to 40 on Sabbath evenings. Recently, through the efforts of "Sz Mvi," a number of mothers from the homes adjacent to the hall have attended the services. 'The Kaulawela Sabbath School has an attendance of from 40 to 70.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS ADDRESS DELIVERED BY THE PRESIDENT, MISS LYDIA K.KE ALTUMHNOE,SCIATON. In life it is not always that the "pleasures" precede the duties, but tonight such is the case. �THE FRIEND. First I have the honor to welcome the graduates of 1906 into the circle of the Kamehameha Alumnae, and 1 trust that these young women will find our ways—"ways of pleasantness if our paths are not always peace." We want 11 I speak from the standpoint of a busiwoman at work from Monday morning until Saturday afternoon, and this is the standpoint of the majority, of the Alumnae. To he "workers" and not drones is what Kamehameha has ever on our list as taught us; to show that the heritage your names enrolled alumnae for many reasons. You are SOOn to be given certificates of graduation from this institution and we want you to swell our numbers and help US to stand for Kamehameha outside her sheltering walls. 'There is much that is mutually helpful in an organization, and to be known as Kamehameha Alumnae ought to stand for something elevating, hive years of study, work and discipline should be of some avail in the work of these Islands. You ought to be better women for it, stronger and better equipped for home-life and business occupations. School is the happiest period in a girl's life—full of honest work and innocent recreation. 'There are no such friendships formed as those formed in school, no such dreams dreamed. Life is before you and the bitter things come along in the future. Your life at Kamehatueha will, now, be a memory—a joyful one, and will help when the dark days come, when you are in the real conflicts and struggles. In the name of the Alumnae of the Kamehameha Schools I bid you welcome to the privileges and duties of this association.—but please listen to this suggestion: "Lend a helping hand to make this band of 1 lawaiian women stand for all that is upright and good." The help of every member is needed and all should be active members, both doing and being in order to make the Kamehameha Alumnae count. It is something that we have regular miitings and keep at least the social part: but we are old enough, nine years old, to have a definit line of work as a club and pursue it. 'This association was organized June, i8«>8, with only fifteen members, and tonight we number eighty-six. This year we had six business meetings and two socials. We have been very fortunate to get a quorum at each meeting. The officers for the ensuing year are: President —Lydia K. Aholo. Vice-President —Lillian Mundon. Recording Secretary—Katy Sadler. Corresponding Secretag-y—Malic Sakuma. Treasurer—Mrs. Bowers. I can give much advice to this new class —for advice is cheap and easy to give; but when I stand at the close of our year and see so little accomplished by our association, I realize that I am facing a duty. ness which our honored founder, Hernice Pauahi Bishop, left is uplifting Hawaiian life to higher levels—and it is. I lawaiian girls are working. They are found in many lines of industry—sometimes they get into the wrong places, but they have the desire to be and to do and they will find the right places if they persevere and do not prove faint-hearted. vVe will come into a larger life when we have earned our places. From observation and personal experience 1 would Say over and over keep everlastingly at something and better things will comejust as Emerson says, "Read something for fifteen minutes every day and you will become learned." It should be both the pleasure and duty of every Kamehameha graduate and student to make the most of herself; to honor the founder, who gave her all for I lawaiians. Are we doing it? ures, and your nurse has met many failures and disappointments. One must expect such things in life and work. I cannot stop to enumerate details of my work, but would mention important facts only. My work have been principally among Hawaiiaus. It was hard work physically, the constant going from place to place. At times 1 have thought that I would give up; especially when I come across so many hard faces in the tenement houses, fear creeps over me, but knowing that the Almighty will take care of me, I keep on. From Sept. 13 to May 22 your nurse has made daily visits during the forepart of the day, five days in the week, in the districts of Kakaako, Kewalo, Kamoiliili, Makiki and Kapalama. During this period your nurse ha) treated and cared for twenty-five patients at home, fifteen children and ten adults. 'Ten of these children were under the age of ten and five above ten. All these patients were under the charge of some private doctor. I have taken fifteen patients to the dispensary where they got treatment free of charge. I took one old man, an 1 lawaiian, helpless and friendless, to the Lunalilo Home, where he is now cared for.

I must admit that I was not very learned in nursing. What I knew was based on practical principles, but this year of experience has added more to my former knowledge. I come in contact with things that need attention immediately; T cannot stop to consult a book or go to some person perhaps that would tell me how and when to act, but think out a plan of my own and act accordingly. I cannot say that I have met with a huge success, for I feel that the work is just begun. You cannot meet success without fail- THE H. M. C. SOCIETY'S ANNUAL MEETING. Under the great banyan tree at Lunalilo Home, the Hawaiian Mission Children gathered at 3 o'clock, May 19, 1906, for their annual meeting. A more beautiful spot or a more perfect day could not have been selected. Overhead were the magnificent branches, arches of gray supjKirting a canopy of green. At the foot of the tree sat the acting president, Dr. A. H. Clark, at a table covered with Hawaiian tapa, and a screen of palm leaves, vines and flowers curtained off the other half of the vast tent and served as a sounding board to throw out the voices of the speakers. There were magnolias, �12 THE FRIEND erected at Princeton to the memory of Miss Betsy Stockton. He also read a letter, written by his father from the Marquesas.

Fight girls have completed the prescribed course and will receive certificates to that effect on the closing day. E. L. H. turns to GOOD NEWS FROM HILO PORTUGUESE. At the recent celebration of the Lord's Supper we had the pleasure of receiving three new members into the fellowship of our church. One of these is an old lady about 70 years of age, who has but lately heard the pure Gospel preached in her tongue and felt its power in her own heart. It filled all our hearts with joy and gratitude to God to see these three new companions in the good fight join the ranks of Christ, and we hope that they will ever stand true to the great Captain of our Salvation. At this same sirvice we administered the Sacrament of Baptism to three children. The meetings at nine miles, < )laa, which have been a source of much encouragement to us, are now held twice a month in the Japanese meeting house there, and we trust they will prove fruitful in the end. The railroad expense of these visits is borne by the Ladies' Missionary and Christian Fndeavor Societies. Our church building has just received much needed repairs, a coat of paint and the addition of a pastor's study, with the proceeds of our last fair, and we expect to instal pews in the place of chairs if our friends will kndlv give further aid, and we trust they will. Asking the prayers of all Christians in behalf of this work. E. G. S. ITEMS FROM "THE ALEXANDER HOUSE," WAILUKU, MAUI.
