The stiff withholding of real estate from sale in Wailuku removes the one item of residential competition, which would be likely to complicate the situation. Hon. H. P. Baldwin, with his usual foresight, has planned with others the erection of a commodious Union Church and a call has been issued to Rev. John E. Dodge of West Boylston, Mass., to become the pastor of the new enterprise. Word has just come of the acceptance of the call and Mr. Dodge will commence work in November. The outcome is one upon which The Friend most heartily congratulates the people of Kahului. Within the entire range of our acquaintance we do not know a better man for this enterprise. Mr. Dodge is in the very prime of life. He has enjoyed a rare experience in Church upbuilding. In and about Worcester, Mass., he has labored for many years, taking one after another feeble or infant churches and leading them up into aggressive successful permanent organizations. A man of fine training, of exceptional social gifts, a preacher who knows how to interest, instruct and fire with enthusiasm his people, a pastor whose Christian experience and loyalty to Christ make him a prized friend to those in trial or sorrow, able to harmonize men and unite them in religious work, it seems especially fortunate that Mr. Dodge possesses missionary zeal sufficient to lead him to surrender an ideal pastorate in New England, where he is deeply loved, to come to Hawaii to take up so difficult a field as Kahului must prove during the next few years. Fortunately the enterprise is on the union basis like all the rest of the work of the Hawaiian Board, and people of all denominations will feel at home in the new Church. Christian Union. Much talk is devoted to this most important movement nowadays, and it is well that this is so. What our Lord made the subject of his last social prayer, which at the same time was the fullest supplication recorded among His utterances, should always be one chief concern of His loyal followers. Experiments all over the world are being tried to bring Christians together, every one of which deserves our deepest sympathy. Wherever an opportunity is granted to manifest the common longing for the unity of the Church, the disciples of Jesus should rally to the movement. Perhaps nowhere in the world is there a more interesting and promising experiment along this line THE FRIEND. than that which has been enacted in Hawaii ever since missionary work began here.

A majority of the Committee were present and henceforth the fourth Monday of each month is to be considered as a standing engagement by each member of the Committee. Those interested in the Sunday School work of the Islands are only beginning to realize something of the difficulties, as well as the possibilities of the field. Some of these difficulties present themselves in the multiracial complexities that are always arising; in the increasing perplexities attendant upon the adapting of Sunday School methods, well proven on the mainland, to local conditions; in the many miles of trackless expanse between us and Sunday School inspiration and helpful conventions and finally, in the inability of our volunteer workers to give more than the fag end of their time and energy to this all important work of the Kingdom. On the other hand the possibilities of our Island world for organized Sunday School work are almost limitless. With a trained Sunday School worker giving all of his time to the development and maintenance of new schools, much could be accomplished. Even without such a man much can be done to better conditions. Many of our schools can be more thoroughly graded; an effort can be made through the Cradle Roll to win the babies and thus win the parents ; the Beginner's Departments can be put upon a kindergarten basis, where the little people learn by actually doing; a higher grade of teachers can be developed through individual teacher training classes; the great causes of temperance and missions can be given an intelligent place in our Bible school curriculum; home work on the part of scholars and a sympathetic and helpful interest on the part of parents are among some of the things aimed at by this Sunday School Association. In short, Bible study in every home, the family altar set up and the 20,000 boys and girls of Hawaii sitting at the feet of Jesus and learning of Him, is our hope and expectation. ,' .

REMARKAIII.E FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT ORGANIZED SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK. There are 250,000 Sunday Schools. The enrollment is about 26,000,000. On the American continent there are 1,500,000 Sunday School teachers. There are three Sunday School teachers to every one day school teacher in the United States. The average pupil stays longer with his teacher in Sunday School than in dayschool. The International Lessons are used in India by about 500,000 in the SundaySchools. These 500,000 have among them 32 different languages. The biggest baseball league in the world is that in Chicago among the young mens' Bible classes. It comprises 47 clubs. A condition of membership in each is membership and attendance on Bible classes in Sunday School. Fifteen thousand conventions are held annually, reaching and touching at least 2,500,000 workers. The interchange of fellowship through the organized Sunday School work has made possible the Inter-Church Federation. Pastors who are pastors of the Sunday School. Pastors who see in the Sunday School an opportunity to invest more than one per cent, of their time. Pastors who recognize the Sunday School as the great training school of the Church for Christian service. Teachers who will minimize difficulties. Teachers who will never lose sight of the goal of decisions for Christ. Teachers who will spell every preparation to teach Opportunity. Teachers who have live wire connections with God's power-house.

E. B. T. TRANSLATION OF A LETTER ADDRESSED TO REV. J. M. ALEXANDER OF OAKLAND, BY THE REV. PAUL L. VERNIER, A FRENCH PROTESTANT MISSIONARY IN THE MARQUESAS. June 6th, 1906, letter of May 29th Papeete, Dear Sir: Your reached me at the end of the month of April, and I should have replied to it by the last mail, but found it impossible to do so. Your name is not unknown to mc; I knew that you were related to the first missionaries in Nukahiwa, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, and on another side, the Sandwich (Islands) missionaries at the Marquesas have many times spoken to me of the visit which you made to those island?* THE KIND OF SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS in 1896. ALWAYS WANTED AND NEEDED. I am very glad to be able to give you any information that you may desire. Superintendents who superintend. I hope that it will prove to be of some Superintendents who have originality. use for the end you have in view, but Superintendents who are doers and not I fear that it may be too incomplete. dreamers. It is in fact at Atuona, (Hivaoa), that Pastors who will train teachers to I have resided since 1898, in that valteach. ley which has left you so enchanting a memory. But you would change very quickly from your first impression, if it were granted you to sec it again today. The floods of 1903 and 1906 have entirely changed the appearance <T the country. What was then so smiling and so green has been transformed into a desert and stony waste. The great trees are uprooted and carried into the sea, the houses have been for the most part destroyed or transported upon the height The fine house which I myself had built on the ground below Hapuku's, on the way to the sea, is at the present moment seriously threatened. When I arrived at the Marquesas Islands in 1898, all the Sandwich (Islands) missionaries were still living. Since then we have seen James Kekela and his wife depart, who went to die at Honolulu, and Z. Hapuku died at Atuona in 1903, one month after my wife, Mme. Paul Vernier; they both rest in the little cemetery near the old church. I have the pleasure of telling you that the Rev Samuel Kauwealoha is still living. He resides at Uapou, which he hardly ever leaves now on account of his £rr eat age. From time to time I received a visit from Samuel Kekela, married, as you know, to Hina, daughter of Vahinavai Layton. Samuel Kekela does not occupy himself much with trade any more; he chiefly builds whaleboats, aided by his brother-in-law, Alexis Layton. The two reside constantly at Puamau with their families, some members of which removed to Oahu in 1898 with father and mother Kekela. At that date Tatirti and Tana Kekela also left. Besides Samuel there is also loane Kekela, married to Emere Hapuku, who live at Atuona with the mother Hapuku, who is growing old. The loane-Emere family is prosperous. They have just had their seventh child. They have many lands, but the last cyclones have not damaged them at all. You know that since 1898 the Society of the Evangelical Missions of Paris, has appointed a French missionary for the Marquesas, and since that time it is that Society which has taken the direction of this work. Tn regard to S. Kauwealoha. it is the Hawaiian Board that continues to charge itself with his support. On another side the same Society sends annually a pension of Sroo to Mme. Hapuku. I am the French missionary for the Marquesas. We count three missionary centers as important: Ist, Atuona; 2nd, Puamau, and 3rd, Uapou. To Atuona arc attached three out-stations, �THE FRIEND. Taaroa, Hanaiapa, Ilauahehe. On Puamau depend llekeani, Hanapaaoa and llahoe. Add to this about fifteen Protestants in the island of Uahuka. To sum ti]i, three churches with five outstations and about 350 members, three islands evangelized out of six. Besides the European missionary we must add two native resident pastors, one at Puamau and the other at Atuona, where he takes my place temporarily during the visit which I am oblieed to make to Papeete. As soon as I shall be back in Atuona, towards the end of the present year, if it please God, a new assignment will be made for the Tahitian pastor of Atuona. We shall perhaps send him to assist Kauwealoha. Since 1004 we have had no Protestant schools in the Marquesas, the schools having been suppressed by the administration, which, on its part, has opened several good institutions in different parts of the archipelago. By the answers to questions herewith enclosed, you will see that the economic situation of the Marquesas is not very flourishing. The fault is not entirely due to the natives, but to the lack of communication. As regards the missionary work, I will sum it up with one word ; a difficult work and without a great future it seems. But God is there. That rapid decrease of the population is very alarming. It is a very distressing subject. Thanks for your good wishes. I return to you the same, and will ask you to excuse the imperfections of this letter. Your brother in Christ, PAUL L. VERNIER. (Sgd.) TA HE NTI-SALOON LEAGUE'S INTEREST IN THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM. By William E. Johnson. Two years ago, the people of Oregon added the Initiative and Referendum system to the State government. Under the initiative a petition of eight per cent, of the registered voters is sufficient to compel a vote on any measure which the people may see fit to ask for. Under the referendum, the people by a five per cent, petition, can call for a popular vote on any bill passed by the legislature. Hardly was the result announced than the enemies of the saloon got.together and drafted what is probably the most drastic and satisfactory local prohibition law in the United States. Then they began circulating initiative petitions asking for a vote on it. The necessary eight per cent, was easily secured, a lively non-partisan campaign was conducted, and the people readilyadopted the bill. Under this law, initiated and BtJtMal by the people, the saloons have been flogged out of something like one-half of the State already, and strong hopes are held out that within a few years, the licensed liquor selling will be confined to two or three localities. The liquor men did not like this, of course, and at the recent election drew up a bill modifying some of the drastic features of the original law. They got the necessary eight per cent, of signatures, but were overwhelmingly defeated at the polls—defeated by a much larger majority than the original bill was carried by. For a dozen years, the people of Oregon had been asking and begging the legislature to give localities the right to protect themselves from the saloon. But in both old parties the money of the liquor men gave them a balance of power. So the legislature was deaf, dumb and blind to the temperance people. When the people secured the right to initiate their own laws, the very first one proposed was a local prohibition statute. They were not compelled to send a lobby to Salem; all they had to do was to write out their bill, get eight per cent, of the voters to ask for a vote on it and the measure went direct to the people. Turning to other States and national affairs it is probably not a very wild guess that one-third of the energies of the Anti-Saloon League are expended in attempts to coax and compel legislatures and Congress to enact various anti-saloon measures, in maintaining legislative superintendents, in scouring the country for petitions, in circulating literature, with the result that what legislation is secured is often weak, unsatisfactory and toothless. Another third of the energies of the League are expended in attempting to do execution with these laws the vitality of which has been sapped with hostile amendments. The great problem of the League is and always has been to get at the people. Whenever the saloon issue is gotten squarely before the people, stripped of other entangling issues, the saloon has almost universally received a blackeye. The safety of the beverage liquor traffic has always been in keeping some barrier between it and the people. The State legislatures, with their multiplicity of political and other interests, have been the trocha behind whose meshes 9 the whiskey seller has found his only safety. The average man will kill a snake whenever he gets a chance. Just so, tin- average man knows what a saloon is when he sees it and will naturally vote against it if the proposition faces him directly on its merits—without entanglements of politics or allurements of relief from taxation. A man who will capture a snake for purposes of exhibition will always kill it the moment the admission fees fail to pay expenses. Just so, even the average salooa voter would help kill the saloon snake if he did not imagine that it helped him out on his taxes, or helped his political party to beat the adversary. In this lesson from Oregon lies the interest of the Anti-Saloon League in the initiative and referendum that is now being so vigorously pushed by UnAmerican Federation of Labor and other allied reform forces. In every State and nationally a non-partisan campaign is being waged by the questioning of candidates. The initiative is practically equivalent to an u|>-to-datc local prohibition law in every State. All that the League would have to do to install the law exactly as they want it, would be to get tin- required eight per cent, of the voters to sign it and go directly before the people with it, without regard to the legislature. Then if the legislature should pass an obnoxious liquor law, the League can simply get up a referendum petition and compel a vote on it by the people. The whole necessity for the present elaborate and expensive system of legislative work would be wiped out and this conserved energy could be expended in educating the people, enforcing the law and otherwise extending the work of the organization. The League very properly has pledged itself to confine its efforts to the liquor traffic. But in pushing along this effort for the initiative and referendum, the League would be aiding itself to secure by far the most powerful weapon that it has ever had to smite the liquor traffic. The fact that the same weapon can also be used to strike at other forms of injustice docs not make it any less a weapon for the Anti-Saloon League. A sword can be used to slay more than one kind of an enemy. Put the sword in the hands of a just man and good is not apt to be put to death. The initiative and referendum is a sword in the hands of the people and the Anti-Saloon League have always striven to get their case before the �THE FRIEND. 10 in which Mr. Richards has figured is that described in the following, clipped from The Penny Press of Middletown, Conn.: in that every just cause has its strength.

Conference at the Social Hall was the largest and most enthusiastic yet held. Twenty-two workers were present, representing a dozen places through fortyfive miles of territory. An extremely interesting fact came to light as we sat down to lunch that of the fifteen men present aside from myself, eleven were from Kamehameha and the other four from Lahainaluna, a pretty good commentary on the work of these schools.

A good opportunity was afforded for further scattering of the "Local Option and High License" leaflets, although it is gratifying to learn that this has already been done more or less by the delegates returning from Honolulu. Mrs. Scott has invited our Workers' Conference to lunch at llolualoa Chapel in October, The prayer-meetings at the Center remain small, but the past week there were sixteen present, thirteen being young men. It was an exhilarating meeting on temperance, drawn from the lives of Elijah and John the Baptist.

July 3, seven of our young men gave an excellent concert, devoting the proends (ten dollars) to the improvement of our Church yard. Later, or rather early next morning, we were serenaded, and had an opportunity of enjoying coffee and sandwiches together. The Fourth itself was decorously, though generally observed, bypicnics, fireworks and decorations. The Japanese spent most of the day in horse-racing, and many of all nationalities were out in the saddle. At our last communion service, the fust birthday anniversary of our Church, two young ladies joined on confession and one by letter. Next month we hope to receive some six more members, including a man and his wife and two children. Last Sunday a circuit of twenty-five miles allowed us to preach twice and hold two communion services at two Hawaiian centers. At Kailua the funeral service of an aged member was conducted immediately after receiving into membership a young man to fill his place in the ranks. Next week a similar circuit will be taken, where there has been forwarded to me the names of ten children to be baptized, and three young people to join the Church, two of whom also receive baptism.

Among the other jolly occasions Audience at the Middlesex Theater, Saturday Xiglit. The annual commencement concert of the Wesleyan Glee and Mandolin clubs was held in the Middlesex theater, Saturday evening. The concert was a big success, and was declared by the large crowd present, to be one of the most enjoyable ever given. The presence of the '88 glee club proved a great attraction. This famous organization was classed as the best college glee club of its time. Its leader, Theodore Richards, led the club in person, coming a long distance to takepart in the concert. The old club had a repertoire of over sixty selections, and during its college year gave twenty-two concerts, including trips all over the eastern part of the country, besides which an octette from the club during the summer made a trip of 2,000 miles, singing before 15,000 people. The club in connection with the seventy-fifth anniversary celebration is holding its first reunion, and most of the "stars" were back. The singers, although the time for rehearsal was limited, showed that they had lost none of their old-time musical ability, and delighted the audience with their rendition of old college songs. Every number on the program was of a Wesleyan man's composition, and this of itself made the concert unique ill Weslevan's history. It was a Wesleyan night and honors were evenly divided between the old '88 club, the present organization, the mandolin club, and Mr. Forman's readings. THE DISTRICT NURSE. Through all ages, the work of allesuffering humanity has been viating considered a most precious heritage. From the fact that through this humane work so much has been accomplished, so many avenues for workers have been opened today, no work along social or spiritual lines can be conducted successfully without this medium. ()ne of the most practical phases of social work in a community is the instituting of trained nurses as district or visiting nurses. 'The work of ameliorating suffering and listening to the appeals of the needy is comparable with the work of 'The Great Physician, who taught us by His example that it is just as important to minister to the �THE FRIEND.

It remains to be seen whether those earlier bitter experiences of France will lend wisdom to either of the parties in this Russian struggle. We may dimly, but hopefully, look forward to a future Russia, emancipated, educated and grandly developed, with her masses pervaded by general material and religious intelligence. Then they may be able to unite intelligently upon men and measures that shall produce true wellbeing. Now is their day of conflict and agony, while they are working out their own emancipation from ignorance and misery.

The work is carried on as usual through the summer here, and the services arc well attended. One Sunday morning Dr. Scudder gave an excellent address upon "Christian (living." After the sermon an offering was taken up for the Hawaiian Board. Over $130 was raised for the Board's Mission work. One Sunday evening Mr. Westervclt gave an illustrated gospel song service at the Church. A large gathering of young people enjoyed the beautiful pictures md the good songs. Mr. Westervelt has very kindly consented to give one evening each month through the summer for a gospel song service with pictures. The Waikiki Sunday School is trying the Red-Rlue contest through the summer, with good results in new scholars. Rev How Fo reports a pleasant vacation trip, from his home in Kula, Maui, to Kohala, Hawaii. While there he preached for Mr. U. Clio Ping, and was glad to'see the good attendance at the Chinese Church. Mr. Ting Ah Lin, of Wailuku, Maui, is raising funds to build a parsonage next to the Chinese Church there. Mr. Ho Tsz Tsung is doing good work at his new station, Hilo. He finds it a pleasant change. Mr. Mo has taken his place in Honolulu. Mr. Thwing visited Maui stations the last part of July. �THE FRIEND. 12 The Chinese Students' Alliance of Hawaii had recently an interesting meeting in Honolulu. One of the members gave a very carefully prepared lecture on chemistry, with experiments. A Chinese Tract. The following is a translation of a Chinese tract, called "Christ the Great Teacher." It has been scattered among the Chinese of Hawaii, and also in China: "Confucius was a wise man. He spoke many good words. Jesus Christ ivas a still wiser one. All over the world He is called The Great Teacher. He was born about 2,000 years ago. He lived only thirty-three years and was cruelly killed by those whom He came to save. He was very poor and went about on foot, teaching people how to be happy and good. He healed the sick, the blind, the crippled ones, and the crazy. He iiad no home. Sometimes he slept on the hard boards of an open boat, while the w.aves of the sea beat over Him. Often He was weary and hungry. Sometimes He spent all night in prayer alone. He finally laid down his life for us, but rose again and went up into heaven whence he came and where he now is, King of Kings. He hears our prayers. He loves us all, even the poorest and most sinful. If we follow His doctrine He has promised that we shall be with Him forever as soon as we die. The book called the Bible tells about this great and good Teacher and Saviour. It tells us also about the beautiful country where all the good and wise shall live with Jesus. Do you not want to read about this great Teacher, Jesus Christ?" E. W. T. KAUAI NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lydgate entertained the Lihue Sunday School, children and parents, at their mountain camp at Kamooloa, back of Lihue.

The Anahola parsonage has been thoroughly overhauled and repaired preparatory to its occupation by the pastor-elect of the Koolau Church, Rev. R. Puike. The faithful endeavors of the late S. W. Meheula, of Anahola, in the interest of Sunday School work on Kauai has been suitably recognized by the erection of a small monument to his memory at Anahola. There were suitable unveiling ceremonies on the 29th. Mr. Meheula died some eight or nine years ago and it is a testimony to the endurance of his memory and influence that at this late date his services are remembered. An active and successful Christian Endeavor Society has been organized at Lihue in connection with the Hawaiian Church. The Lihue Hawaiian Sunday School under the effective leadership of Mr. •and Mrs. W. H. Rice, is in a very flourishing condition, threatening to overflow the capacity of the Church. Rev. R. Puike has been invited to run for Legislature, but has declined, preferring to be faithful to his Church work. J. M.
