Not a year passes in which the children or grandchildren of the sturdy pioneers, who planted the cross in Hawaii, do not extend to Christians of other name the brotherly hand, with something in it besides a grasp, in practical demonstration of the spirit of unity and love. It is good to know that this giving has gone into channels so fruitful of service to mankind. The showing made by Bishop Restarick in his annual address was full of encouragement. By the engagement of Mr. P. T. Fukao, for a number of years an evangelist connected with the Hawaiian Board, the Episcopal Church has formally instituted a mission among the Japanese of Honolulu, a desire it has cherished for several years. All the other departments of work have been moving on to greater efficiency. The address itself was one of those timely utterances habitual with Bishop. Tts clear enunciation of curse brought by too many white i to these Islands was conscience •ing. The occurrence of this anniiary in the same month with the iv meeting of the Hawaiian Evancal Association leads to the hope the day may come when all of our testant denominations may choose same month for their annual meetplanning certain inspirational fears in common, so as to stir the enpopulation and serve as a great rious and educational stimulus, le reserving all necessary time fora irate business sessions.

During July the various political primaries are to hold their initial meetinirs preparatory- to the coming biennial elections. No citizen is worthy of as the rieht to exercise the franchise occathe can allow an American, who sion offered by the primary, to pass without attendance thereon and bona fide honest participation therein. This truth is being preached from Eastport to Ran Die"o, and is being registered in the public conscience by the enactment of laws in many States aimed to secure to each citizen the full self-expression of his will in his vote at the primary. Hawaii stands badly in need of an adequate primary law. But that THE FRIEND this is true excuses no one from doing his full duty in the primary as it exists among us. Let every citizen be in his place at his primary, there let him make a square attempt to secure first the election of good primary officers, and next the nomination of worthy candidates for public service. Hawaii is on trial before the Nation. Can Americanism be made to triumph here, the Americanism of the Lincoln and Roosevelt type? That is the supreme question. A large section of the Nation believes it can. It rests with us in Hawaii to say whether it shall. The place to do the most important and effective speaking on this head is the primary. Let us all be there. other restriction aimed at lessening the number of the saloons or curtailing their business. With such understanding many have been attracted to this vigorous organization, which has done wonders in many sections of the United States. Our own League takes the same high ground. The old time Prohibitionist was wont to urge with power the plea, "to license a saloon is to sanction it," whereas the truth of the case is that to exact a heavy special fee from a saloon, where prohibition is as vet unattainable, is to brand as a •ource of public danger, and to restrict so far as may be that which the major- in the community sanctions.

At license, local option, state control or first sight it does appear as though the ity �THE FRIEND. law did embody something like local option. But when the provision relatgranting a ing to petition against license to an applicant is carefully examined it will be seen to have been so cunningly framed as to be practicallyunworkable. The saloon forces are always wily and in devising this expedient they showed their usual finesse. It looks very much as though they had included this clause in anticipation of triumphing over their opponents at some future legislative hearing with the taunt: "We gave you local option in the law enacted two years ago, but you did not use it. When you have exhausted all the possibilities in that law, come to us for more." Let us therefore see just what sort of "local option" the present law grants. The Century Dictionary defines local option to be "the determination by vote of the people of a town or other minor political community as to whether or not any license to sell intoxicating liquors shall be granted." The important feature of local option is determination by vote and not by petition. There is a vital difference here. Noting is a political duty. It brings the exerciser of the right into an atmosphere of obligation to the State, which he cannot evade. Personal considerations become distinctively secondary. But petition is an entirely voluntary matter, moving in a realm of personalities and introducing any number of non-political considerations. Local Option is a just procedure, equal for the opposer or the maintainer of the saloon. Petition under the law in force is unjust. It does not require the saloon applicant to secure a majority of the registered voters of the precinct, while it imposes this burden upon the anti-saloonist. The petition ruse demands not the majority of voters at any election, but requires a majority residing in the precinct. No election ever calls out the entire voting strength. Furthermore the law entails immense expense upon the opponents of the saloon. In some precincts it may be possible to secure signatures of a majority of the voters, but in most, even granting a majority in opposition, it is practically impossible. Then even if one applicant for license be disposed of, another can apply and the whole business must be gone over again. It may look feasible on paper, but with the exception of a few favored precincts, the matter is so costly as to be out of the question, is impracticable, and is as contrary to the principle of local option as can well be imagined. It is one more case of the serpent doled out by the Legislature in answer to the request for a fish. 5 Trans-Pacific Race. Hawaii holds the front rank for the world in the year 1906 with respect to one feature of human interest, namely yachting. The first trans-l'acific pleasure race was sailed last month with great credit to the three competing boats. The winner, the Lurline, Hying the ensign of the South Coast Yacht Club of California, made the trip from San Pedro to Hawaii in 12 days and 5 hours, averaging 201 knots per diem, with a best day's run of 265 nautical miles. The Anemone, Hying the burgee of the New York Yacht Club, was second in 14 days and 21) j minutes. Her average was 165 knots and her longest run 227 nautical miles. La I'aloma of the Hawaii Yacht Club finished last in 15 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes with a maximum day's run of 199 miles. It is proposed to make an annual event of this race across the Pacific and there seems little doubt that it will come to be one of the famous events in the world of sport. The statement that the Lurline sailed 2,100 miles on one tack reveals something of the attractiveness of the trip from the Coast to Hawaii, during trade wind weather. The local Promotion Committee deserves the thanks, not only of all lovers of the Islands, but of all devotees of the queen of sports, yachting, for having so successfully inaugurated this new event in the realm of human play. judgment against a licensee under this sectkMl is not satisfied within thirty days his license shall be revoked." Several States have similar provisions. Not long ago a woman in the East recovered $15,000 damages from a saloon keeper for selling liquor to her husband with results disastrous to the family welfare. More recently another wife in Kansas was awarded $5,000 by the courts, because her husband had been stimulated by the liquor sold him to commit murder and she was deprived of support in consequence of iiis sentence to life imprisonment. Hawaiian women, whose husbands are habituees of saloons, would do well to bear in mind that the law puts in their hands an easy road to support in case drink has deprived them of the labor of the family bread-winner. In every such case the wife must make out a written notification stating that the husband is a habitual drunkard and demanding that no more liquor be sold to him. It would be well to prepare the notice in duplicate, one copy to be kept by the woman, and one given by her to the saloon-keeper in the presence of witnesses. Thereafter if liquor is sold to the husband, the seller may be prosecuted for damages. It is well that this law should be invoked in Hawaii. It is strange that lawyers, whose business it is to create cases, have not already scented carrion here. Put the Burden Where It Belongs. One section of Hawaii's liquor laws reads as follows : "A husband, wife, child, parent, guardian, employer or other person who is injured in person, property or means of support by an intoxicated person or in consequence of the intoxication of any person shall have the right of action against any person or persons who by selling or furnishing intoxicating liquor have caused in whole, or m part, such intoxication. A married woman may bring such action in her own name and all damages shall inure to her separate use, and all damages recovered by a minor shall be paid either to such minor or to some person in trust for him as the court may direct. Upon the death of any party to such suit the action or right of action shall survive against his executor and administrator. The party injured or his legal representative may bring cither a joint action against the person intoxicated and the persons who furnished the liquor and the owner of the building or a separate action against either or any of them. If a Hands Tied. Perhaps the worst provision of our liquor laws is the one that threatens witnesses against the saloons with a penalty of $1,000 fine. That law-makers should enact statutes and then deliberately plan to render it impossible to secure testimony to the fact of violation of those statutes is something that would be unbelievable, but for the actual testimony of our legislative records. One of the sections of the law passed by the last legislature provides a penalty of not more than $1,000 for anyone purchasing liquor from an unlicensed person or from a licensee contrary to the conditions of his license. The ghouls who batten upon the violation of our liquor laws must have hailed the passage of this section with a joy equalled only by the hosts, whom Milton describes as rejoicing in the tidings of fallen man. Fancy a brute of a father compelling his child to purchase liquor for him in some vile den whose atmosphere is Some one a menace to her purity. iearns of the violation of law in the sale to the child, has the liquor dealer �THE FRIEND. 6 arraigned, but lo! the child cannot testify without herself becoming liable to penalty. Many saloons all over the Territory are known to be selling liquor on Sunday, but not an atom of testimony can be secured because no one is allowed to purchase and thus witness against the lawbreaker. As a consequence of this singularly unfortunate provision our liquor laws arc flouted as never before. Intoxicating drinks are sold out of hours, on Sundays, and to minors, with a freedom hitherto unknown in Hawaii. Too often the police connive at the traffic. The only persons who can be depended upon to secure and give reliable testimony against this sort of lawbreaking are stigmatized as criminals if they en- deavor to do their civic duty. The Anti-Saloon League, in fighting for the repeal of this section, is rendering a public service of singular value. Business Up in Arms. Signs multiply that business men in Hawaii arc getting where so many of their fellows on the Mainland long have been. The two most powerful modern forces arrayed against King Alcohol are first business corporations and second trades unions. The regulations of the latter make mightily for sobriety, while the entire railroad interests of the United States are enthusiastic backers of total abstinence. Xor do railroads stand alone in their rigid opposition to the use of intoxicants by employes. Any person widely acquainted with manufacturing in the Mainland knows that there are a large number of establishments that demand sober habits of their men. How the plantation interests of Hawaii so long have winked at the sale of liquors among their employes is one of the mysteries that impress students of island conditions. Up to the time of the passage of the present law the power to prevent the traffic was so clearly in their hands, as well as the means to furnish substitutes, that their attitude of indifference, not to say encouragement, was inexplicable. Now, however, the apathy is giving way to solicitude. The drink curse, suffered to grow, is menacing efficiency, considerations of money are seen to be involved and plantation managers are lushing into the daily press, making anxious journeys to Honolulu to oppose the granting of licenses and strengthening the hands of anti-saloon workers. This is as it should be. If the plantations only realized that the Hawaiian Board stands ready to cooperate in fighting the saloon and all other social evils among laborers by securing the right sort of men to teach in Japanese schools, to run decent recreation centers and to do for the laborers of this race what the Y. M. C. A. did for the armies in Manchuria, they would welcome this sort of endeavor, as the Emperor of Japan did when he presented the Christian Association with the gift of 10,000 En. To provide every considerable cam]) with a cozy- social center equipped with a few games, some attractive reading matter and writing materials under the care of a warm-hearted Christian leader, would not cost much, but it would add immensely to the comfort and contentment of the laborers. A stern front towards gambling and the liquor traffic combined with hearty interest in this sort of work would soon elicit a most gratifying rcspone. It will take time to convince plantation managers of this, but the recent public complaints against saloons show that the day of good things is sure to dawn. Glad Tidings from Hartford. A late mail brings the long awaited good news from Rev. W, Douglas Mackenzie, 1). 1)., president of Hartlord Theological Seminary, that the trustees have voted most cordially to the Empire. For seventeen years he was stationed in the far away prefecture of Xiigata, where his parish consisted of more than a million of people. The) are a conservative folk, sturdy and less quickly reached than their countrymen farther south, but perhaps more staunch. Here Mr. Xewell soon became an adept in the use of colloquial Japanese and what is rarer a good reader of the language. His acquaintance throughout the prefecture was very wide and he impressed his sterling character upon all whom he touched from one end to the other of the district he covered. Mrs. Xewell also was able to spare time from household cares to become fluent in the language and built up a line woman's work in Xiigata city. Two years ago Mr. Neweil was transferred to Matsuyama, because the severity of the winter climate in the northern prefecture necessitated a change of residence. In Matsuvama these devoted missionaries have had great success. Mr. Xewell is one of the trustees of the famous Doshisha University. Rev. S. A. MorTctt, I). 1)., of Pyengyang, Korea, came on the same steamer, the Mongolia, with the Xewell family. He is one of the band of Presbyterians who have built up such a nourishing church in the land of the Morning Calm, where he is recognized as one of the leading missionaries of his denomination. In response to many letters from Christian Koreans, formerly members of his own flock, he has been commissioned by his mission to spend a few weeks in Hawaii visiting these converts and learning their condition. Dr. Moffett states that about seven-tenths of the Christians who have come from Korea to this Territory are connected with his mission. After completing this tour he will go on to the States for his furlough. The Friend rejoices to bid these veterans in the Army of the Cross welcome to Hawaii, and to wish them god-speed in their noble service. receive, educate and care for two students from Hawaii for the next three Seminary sessions. Thus a long cherished plan of the Hoard has been advanced one great step. Our gratitude to these noble Christian brethren, who thus show such readiness to cooperate in training men for this field is lieartlelt and deep. We enter upon this new experiment with solicitude, but also with hope. The Hoard has extended to •Mr. Akaiko Alcana the privilege of this course and he has accepted.

Missouri and Mississippi, the courts have held that laws requiring the licensee to be a taxpaying male citizen are constitutional. We prim elsewhere a table of licenses. the data for which have been furnished by Mr. J. M. Martin. Agent of the AntiSaloon League. This shows thai on March 8, lOOD, a total of J~>> licenses to sell liquor were in force in the Territory. <II these forty-two were of the third class, i.e., issued to wholesale liquoi dealers. Japanese hold eight of these and Chinese thru. Licenses of the fourth class provide for the sale oi less than five gallons, the annual fee being $500. These are saloons 111 the ordinary sense. Twenty-four of this class have been granted to Japanese and fourteen to Chinese oul of a total of 136. Fifth class licenses carry a fee of $100 per annum and allow the sale of liquor in original sealed containers in amounts ol less than five gallons. I hie hundred and one of these have been issued. Of this total the Japanese hold twenty-live and the Chinese fifty-five. The evident intention of the law in providing licenses of the fifth class was to require sale of liquor by bottle, but containers sufficient to hold one drink having been provided, orientals have taken out a large number of these cheap licenses and are running them as saloons of the vilest sort, wherein adulterated and poisonous liquors are freely dispensed. Thus adding together licenses of the fourth and fifth classes, we get a total of saloons proper for the Territory, 118, or 50 per cent, of these are 111 the" hands of Asiatics; 110. or 46 per cent, controlled by whites, and 9. or 4 per cent, are run by I lawaiians. The statement is made, which any one traveling through the Islands can verify, that the worst dens of iniquity 111 the Territory are these fifth class licensed houses, anil that the laws relating to the sale ol liquor to minors, and to the presence vi forbidden persons, are widely disregarded therein. Not a few of their keepers are charged with having violated the law in securing their 'licenses.

Every member but one was present and tinwork for the coming year was enthusi- astically discussed and planned. The crux of the new movement is in the willingness of the six corresponding secretaries to project helpful suggestions to the one hundred or so Protestant Sunday Schools throughout the Islands. These secretaries have entered heartily upon their new work. Xow that we are affiliated with the Intel national Sunday School Associa lion it will be our purpose to adopt as many of the International SundaySchool ideas as can be adapted to local conditions. We realize that haste must be made slowly. Too many new ideas ire confusing. It was voted to introduce the Red and Hlue Button Contest in such scliools as wanted to increase their membership. The idea of this contest is simple in its workings. The school is divided into two sections: one wearing a blue button and the other a red button. The side that brings in the most new scholars at the end of a given lime is declared the victor. The gigantic problem with some of us is to provide faithful teachers for what we have, before attempting to bring in any new scholars. In the near future the Cradle Roll will also be presented to such schools as have not yet adopted it. ( me important action of the executive committee was the election of the following departmental secretaries: Primary—Junior I )epartnient—Miss Frances Lawrence. Home Department—Mrs. ( ). 11. Walker. Teacher Training Department—Mr. A. M. Merrill. Missionary Department—Rev. E. W. Thwing. Temperance Department—Rev. (i. 1). F.dwards. These secretaries will be put in touch with the different experts in the several departments on the mainland. They will then bring their suggestions to the executive committee and they in turn through the corresponding secretaries will send them to the different Sunday Schools in the Islands. With these wide awake workers there can be no doubt but that many helpful suggestions will be brought to our many Sunday- Schools. A report blank has been issued and sent to every SundaySchool. When these are returned, they will give some very interesting information. The statistics call for the number and names of officers and teachers in the Sunday School. This information will help us in finding �THE FRIEND teachers for schools, especially in the country districts. The report calls for the number of scholars in a Sunday School and divisions into primary. junior and senior departments. The following questions are also asked : Have you a Membership Cradle Roll?

May it never be crusted over with dulled stiffness and reserve. I do not wonder you are all happy in your meetings anil delightful gatherings.

I lie whole vast and learned hulk of what is known as the "Destructive" Criticism of the Bible (destroying its Historical Verity) really rests upon that unfounded assumption. Tlicre is much of the Higher Criticism which is valu able and instructive. Hut the larger and Infidel part is the product of minds led astray by deep-rooted unbelief. It is not io be denied that a large number of our former interpretations of the language of the Bible, have called for modification and correction, and that all has not been taught therein which the old Theologies inferred. Many peculiar constructions of the Bible teachings were formerly made, which have not borne the test of time and inProgress in Christian creasing light. Doctrine during the past century has undoubtedly been gnat. Hut there are certain doctrines which are essential and impregnable. Foremost among these are the Bodily Resurrection and Ascen ■km of our Divine Lord. Men who have lapsed from this faith and presume to teach the contrary, may be very sincere and even goodly men, but have ceased to retain any rightful place as Christian teachers. Their only fitting course is to resign their offices in the Christian Church, without waiting to have their Heresy demonstrated by a trial. Dr. Crapsey of Rochester, is doubt less a sincere and earnest pastor. Hut he avowedly disbelieves more than one fundamental fact of Christianity, lie leaves his Church authorities no alternative but to officially disown him as a Christian minister. He should have anticipated their action by resigning, lv ibis there is no restriction upon his opinions. He remains absolutely free to believe as much or as little as he sees fitting. Having turned his back on established Christian belief, he must find his place in such nominally Christian organizations as he agrees with.

A recent editorial in a Honolulu evening paper treats of such changes as having become radical and practically destructive to distinctive Christian Doe trine, such as is plainly taught in the Bible. It adduces the testimony of President DcWitt W\tW of Bowdoii College, as that of an average Orthndidivine, whereas he belongs to thee v trenie heterodox wing in the Congrega- iK-ital Church. Dr. Hyde denounces the majority of theological seminaries as forbidding all free thought to their students. Certainly there is abundant latitude of opinion among teachers in Congregational seminaries. No dcubt there is much conservatism, not wholly unhealthy, among the old Calvinistic schools in the Middle States. That editorial also quotes (ioldwin Smith, who is a meritorious teacher, but has gone far over to the side of religious unbelief. To say, as he is quoted, that "the evidence of the Gospel miracles, and notably of the Resurrection, has given way under critical examinations," is language which the Christian Church instantly challenges as ungrounded.

During all the years of my father': residence at l.ahaina it was his practice to calculate the exact l.ahaina time of tin beginning, end and duration of ever) eclipse oi the sun and moon visible there; and to make public announcement of the same a few weeks previous to their occurrence. He did this partly from a love of natural science, hut especially, I think. to counteract the superstitious notions of Hawaiians regarding eclipses, by showing that they were the result of established laws of nature. I have a vivid recollection of what occurred at tin- time of one of these eclipses which look place sometime, I think, during the period 1841 to 1843, when I was tul a lad ot 10 or 2 years. It was a eclipse of the sun; and, as usual, fath r had calculated the time of its occurrence and made public announcement of the same. The day arrived. The eclipse was to commence near the noon hour; but in the early morning the people began to collect in and about our l.ahaina premises; and long before 110011 our own 1 I spacious yards and all the surrounding roads and yards were tilled with men, women and children. The whole population of Lahaina had assembled there to view tiie eclipse. It was, however, reported at the time, that two or three old time "kahunas," who professed to have an astrological knowledge of the heavens, had said that, 'the 'haole' was wrong; there would be no eclipse;" and they staid at home. The predicted moment of commencement arrived; and sure enough, the dark body of the invisible moon vvas beginning to eat off the edge of the sun. All saw it some through smoked glasses, but very many were looking at the sun with the naked eye. There was no applause or cheering. 'The matter of eclipses was too weird for the llawaiians of that time to welcome. All through the crowd were heard subdued expressions of awe and "Kupanaha !" — wonderful — wonder. "How did he know it?"—"He niaiia akua" —A power divine. \s the period of total obscuration approached, a gloom seemed to pervade the : dense crowd; and when the sun was wholly lost to sight and a few stars appeared they exhibited evident signs of fear and agitation. 'The eclipse lasted two or three hours; and when it vvas over, the people still lingered about our premises, apparently afraid to leave them. It vvas night-fall before they had entirely dispersed. In later years, after my father had accurately predicted many eclipses, he vvas well aware that man) of the more ignor am and superstitious Hawaiians credited him with having superhuman powers; a belief which he, of course, firmly discountenanced.

'The tools of the art are few and simple. 'The burin, dry-point, scraper, and burnisher were such as the local blacksmith—Lovell was bis name—could make; and he made them so well that the boys would not give them lip, even when regulation tools had been obtained from the States.

'The art of planishing vvas unknown at Lahainalnna. A mallet, a block of hard wood, and a plank, used with endless perseverance gave an approximately plane surface, and this, rubbed down with a lump of fine-grained coral rock, with water, and a piece of hard wood charcoal, with water, gave the smoothness and polish needed for the engraver's workHut mirror-like plates, such as, in these (lavs, are furnished rcadv lo the hand of the artist, were not produced hv I.ahainaluna boys. though it vvas not for want of patient labor.

It was a favor to be permitted to ley: and a distinct promotion to the aristocracy to be assigned to a separate engraver's desk so the boys performed cheerfully the preliminary drudgery, though truth compels us to admit that the scratches were never all polished out, nor would it have been a wise waste of human life to require them to be so. The history of copper-plate engraving ;.s an adjunct to school publishing, has, like Kaahumanu street, a definite beginning and ending, lis active life was from 1833 to 1843.

Numerous pictures were engraved of mission stations and other scattering subjects, most- ly from the drawings of Mr. Bailey and Miss I'ersis 'Thurston. What this art needed, through all its ten years, was the criticism of an expert. What it gives to the present time is some historical data, mole valued as lime goes on.

This afternoon, abnttl •wo o'clock, the mission families, also four natives of the islands, who are going with us, repaired to the wharf where were assembled a large concourse of pen pie. Dr. Reedier made a prayer after which we took an affectionate leave of air friends, and immediately went into the boat, about fifty Christian friends accompanying us. 'They sailed with us past 'he light.home, and then took the pilot 'lent back.

'There were three thunder showers in succession. At one time a terrible cracking on deck led me to suppose all vvas lost.
