At this moment it is not easy to tell how the political tide will turn. There ire indications that the manner in rvhith >alui county's police affairs have been lianaged is sickening the community and that the fight made for pure politics by the Civic Federation last year is likely to issue in a decided gain for the cause of civic righteousness. This organization for the present is hiding its time. Its executive committee, owing to the summer scattering, has had no meeting for a month or two and is as yet taking no hand in the campaign. 'This is as it ought to he. Bodies of this sort do not get in their work until after the nominations are made.

Mean- while it behooves the primaries that choose delegates and the nominating conventions which select candidates, to bend all efforts towards naming none but worthy men. Fortunately the splendid example of Mr. John A, Hughes in announcing his candidacy for legislative office is being followed by a number of excellent citizens, such as Messrs. \Y. F. Dillingham, R. H. Trent, C Hustace and �THE FRIEND 4 others. Mr. Hughes in concise, clear cut terms gave to the public his platform. His character is an even better guarantee. His candidature should he heartily endorsed by the nominating convention of his party. It is a very encouraging sign that so large a number of our hest citizens are ready to serve the public to the sacrifice of their private interests. On the whole the political outlook is good at this moment.

Tin-: FaiBMD joins the community in welcoming Rev. J. Walter Sylvester to the pulpit of Central Union Church. In another column will be found a sketch of the new pastor. 'This Church occupies in the Islands a unique position. Indeed, we know of no single Church anywhere whose responsibilities and possibilities arc so great. It is not too much to say that the entire program of the historic Christian movement in Hawaii is involved in the conduct of this great Church. The next ten years will determine whether the structure erected upon the old time missionary foundation is to rise to larger dimensions and greater glory or must make way for something else. Central Union Church holds in its grasp the key to this problem. It alone lias the resources in men and money. If consumed by the vision of its great opportunity it give itself to service, it will become one of the mighty organizations of Christendom. If it lose this ambition the opportunity will lapse forever. It is a rare privilege that God has bestowed upon our gifted young brother. The responsibility calls for untiring devotion and demands the highest powers. Tin-: Friend is glad to pledge its tiny efforts in cooperation with this great movement. By virtue of his position the pastor of Central Union Church becomes the unofficial leader in the work of the L'nion Churches throughout the Islands. These, though Congregational in national and international affiliation, are something more inclusive than any one denomination. Built up historically by a number of cooperating Christian Churches they are union in spirit and in truth.

In every human soul there exists the passion to be unique, to get talked about, to stand out from the herd, to be bizarre, to reform things, to be a martyr. In the story of Jesus the evil one is represented as bringing this temptation to bear upon Him as one of three great seducements to evil among men. 'The first temptation recorded by Matthew was that of graft, the selfish use of Power granted for social ends. The third temptation was the ruthless longing to rule, anything to lead, to control, to be in the saddle. But the second was of an entirely different nature. Its objective was the exaggerated Self, marked out as peculiar, as doing things strikingly, a Special messenger of God for turning the world upside down. 'The sanity of Jesus lay in his clear perception of the essential weakness of this part. It is putting God to the test, a challenge to the Almighty to hurry Up or His chosen will be sacrificed.

Theodore Richards. It was more than thirty years ago that brothers found the range of lakes in Eastern New York which they converted into such a region of delight to the summer visitor. Lake Awosting seems to have been their last conquest, though it is higher up than both Mohot k the Minnewaska. Aye, and it is larger ■too, though it lacks the deep carved setting in the hills which so mark the other two. So the camp for boys at Awosting has almost complete swing. Its two neighbors,—cottages at the other end of the lake, —are far enough away as hardly to count as neighbors. This is no matter of regret ; a boys' camp may well spare neighbors. Jt could ill spare its access to such a fine body of water, —its privacy,—its room. the Smiley Lake Awosting. Awosting is fortunate in its location, and when the private car from New York empties its contents of some forty ■ir more men and boys, and the ten miles of stage ride has brought them all to this grove of pines it will take more than the few weeks allotted to tire the colony of their summer home. The success of a boys' camp in these complex modern days, depends upon a number of elements. 'The proprietor of this cam]), Ralph F. Woodward, formerly of Kamehameha School, knows camps experimentally. Kamehameha; no doubt, has had its small share in his equipment and the cumulative wisdom of mainland camps has been at his disposal. There's the cuisine,—no small matter. It won't do to slight it. Boys' cooking would pall on the digestive apparatus of even boys if kept up too long. So, your well-ordered camp has now a skilled cook and an assistant. Awosting is particular about the table service alto' the boys who do all the work of the camp, with the above mentioned exception, wait on the tables and clear up afterward. But, there are luxuries, such as a well-stocked ice house and refrigerating room. That means ice cream not infrequently. There are the sleeping arrangements, —another strategic point of excellent irovision on the part of Awosting. Quite i distance up among the pines are the long shed dormitories, airy and clean with the smell of the fresh pine from which they are made. Fach hoy looks >ut for his own bed and the beds, trunks and floors are "policed" every morning by the squad on duty, for there are fresh announcements every day posted on the bulletin of the character of each boy's morning job, and the "Counsellor" to whom he is to report for duty. These counsellors,—a lot of big brothers without whom the whole system would fail, are a fine lot. Representatives of a half dozen different colleges, one is a crackpitcher (think of that for the material for an idol to the "kids") ! Another is a notable tennis player; they all swin like fishes, and if a boy,—but we will treat of that later. Then the camp "sings" and the camp-fire evenings arc signalized by the ability of this or that man to sing a solo or to tell a weird ghost story. "What do the boys do all day?" Imagine the camp work all finished to the satisfaction of the inspectors,—oh, by the way, they have all been in for their morning plunge, diving like a succession of bullfrogs from the rock and spring board into 80 feet of clear lake water. Now the man "on duty" comes in for his authority as to whether this or that company can go here or there, but some of the counsellors must go or know about and approve the project. \To fellow goes out in the canoes without the presence of the counsellor, unless he has won the "freedom of the lake" by making the test; viz., swimming across the lake and back in the presence of the authorities. The accomplishment of this feat by some one or more, is announced at meals and is hailed with acclamations. Now, the morning can be variously used. There's a skilled man in manual training with a well equipped shop. He — �7 THE FRIEND will take a few boys at a time and do things with them. Aye, and he can give them first rate instruction in drawing and sketching. The writer knows, for he went over there to get that very thing. 'The average fellow if he is not on the camp baseball team, will soon be off somewhere. If he is more than ordinarily good in baseball he will be practicing for the coining matches, now at Mohonk with the summer "[licked up" teams, or at Mimic waska where the "undersigned" figured as a left fielder among the rocks on the l<Kal team and contributed his share of the strike-outs for that aggregation. Hut every fellow belongs to a nine which he tries to make come out ahead in the camp's series of games for the Camp Championship. 'There are the "Ghosts," the "Spooks," "Nightmares" and two more uncanny combinations which are made up of a mixture of the boys and counsellors, with the view to a fair division. sitting and lying in a closely interwoven hills,—all these merit portrayal; but it mass.

It is now half past eight and all must wind the path to the dormitories lit by the rays of the bobbing lanterns. 'There, after prayers have been conducted with the boys kneeling in reverent rows by their long line of couches in the dimly lighted room, lanterns are out. Sleep has come down like a curtain with only the stirring of the pet bull terrier who on some patronizing couch, as often as he moves, is as often sleepily cuffed into subsidence. It would be interesting to tell of the REPORT OF THE CHINESE NIGHT SCHOOL. Reviewing our work in the Palania night school we find that the attendance has steadily increased during the past two months. At the close of our last report the average attendance was 14, and the highest number on any one evening 16. For the months of June and July our average attendance has been [8, with 22 present at various sessions During the same period 22 new boys have been adde dto the roll, making the total enrollment since February Ist, 57. We are in touch with most of these boys who have dropped out, and they profess their desire to return at a more opportune time. Our The Camp in Session. But we must come on to the"Camp Fire"—tho' it is not nearly night in our Story, and the noises in the amusement hall (Headquarters, they call it) where basket hall rages.—try to drown the fine tones of the piano whose absorbed performer fancies himself quite alone no doubt,—but we hasten to the call, to the council rock. It is a huge pile, this camp fire, prepared early in the day at the base of the cliffs which rise in natural amphitheatre form from the very shores of the lake. When it is lit in the fag end of the twilight and its glare lights up the lake and the white rocks, it falls too on the faces and picturesque costumes of the Awosting boys who are long cruises by canoe down the Hudson, the long walks through the mountains after which the camp looms up to the tired voyagers as a veritable haven of refuge. Nay, I would rather speak of the Sunday service under the pines with the white burch cross in the fore. If I did, I must needs tell of the processional with the white stoled figure of the "lay reader" following close upon a line of gray, the fresh young faces lit up by the flecking light which the leaves let through. The songs, the solemn litany, the serious attention to the speaker, though the eye might well wander off through vistas (we are on a height) where the valleys fade out into misty — School House. The Sunday afternoon service was not encouraging during the caily period covered by this report, but last Sabbath nine of our young men were present, and, notwithstanding the absence of pastor or interpreter we had a blessed service.

Several subjects will be presented, which will be of interest in view of the fail work opening before us. It will be necessary that we get a complete report from all of the Sunday Schools of the Islands, in order that we may file statistics and know their actual needs. Some super-, intendents have not yet sent in their reports. It is hoped that they will attend to it at once. AN EPOCH-MAKING HOOK. During the last month thirty copies of the remarkable book, "The Development of the Sunday School," have been put in the hands of our foremost Sunday School workers throughout the Islands. 'This latest encyclopedia of Sunday School progress, covering over 700 pages and containing over 300 excellent phot graphs of International, State and Provincial Sunday School leaders is really the "Acts of the Apostles" up-to-date so far as concerns Sunday School work. Primarily it is the report of the International Convention held in Toronto a year ago, but has been expanded into a record of history, dealing with all the various departures and departments, since the origin of the modern Sunday School in 1780. It could only have been produced by experts, both in Sunday School matters and in the technique of the publisher's art. It is sold for 75 cents in cloth binding and is worth at least $1.50. We have a few copies of this book on hand or it may be ordered from W. X. Hartshorn, 221 Columbus Aye., Boston, Mass ANNUAL OFFERING FOR TBI SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee it was voted to ask all the Protestant Sunday Schools of the Islands to take up a special collection, or rather, to grant the regular 'Thanksgiving offering of the last Sunday in November to the work of the Sunday School Association of Hawaii. It has been asked how EX EC DTIYE COMMITTEE. Corresponding Secretaries. English—Miss Edith Perkins. Hawaiian —M. K. Nakuina. Portuguese —Mrs. J. 1). Marques. Chinese—I-'.. W. Thwing. Japanese—T.

With the very much more printing and postage required now than formerly; in getting new schools organized and new- departments instituted in old schools, and when the way opens to help support a man who can give all, or a large part of his time to the building up and maintaining the one hundred Sunday Schools in these Islands, there is ample need that our Association have a sound financial backing. It is hoped that all the Sunday Schools of the Islands will keep this 'Thanksgiving offering in mind, and will take pride in making it a large one. It has been the custom previous to this year for each Sunday School to pledge an equal, given amount for this cause. It seems more just and more reasonable to have each school pledge one I hanksgiving offering each year. THE bible; school and THE BARACA IDEA. There never was a time when Sunday Schools were more alert to find something that would interest and hold young men. The word "Baraca" has largely solved the problem. It means "happy," "blessed" and the movement has surely proven a blessing to many. Baraca stands for "Young Men's Organized Bible Class," and the platform, "Voting men at work for young men, all standing by the Bible and Bible School," speaks volumes. The keynote of this Splendid movement which is interesting a host of voting men in the good work is "getting in sympathy with the man, and leading him to higher ideals through the work of organization." The class is officered by its own members, with committees providing for social, musical and lecture functions and athletic events, in addition to the regular work of Bible study. It meets with, and is a part of the regular Bible School, but has a separate room fitted up for its special work. The Baraca Bible Class is national and enrolls 100,000 young men in its ranks.

A forthcoming encyclopedia of biography has the following: "The Rev. J. Walter Sylvester was born at Ashland, Maine, September 7, 1868. He was educated at the East Maine Seminary, Bucksport, Maine, and at Boston and Denver Universities. His only settled pastorate has been in the historic Second Presbyterian Church at Albany, X. V., a pulpit made famous by a line of unusually distinguished preachers. Into this line of succession Mr. * * Sylvester entered at the age of twentyeight years, carrying on the larger enterprises, and sustaining the best traditions of the pulpit with signal ability and success. Besides doing the regular work of a great church, he was in large demand as a college preacher, lecturer and contributor of many sermons and articles to the religious press. He is a preacher of exceptional mental grasp and insight and wields a trenchant pen." The New York Observer, the official organ of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, in speaking of Dr. Sylvester, said in its issue of January 19th, 1905: "The Albany pulpit has no occupant whose intellectuality is superior to his. His brotherliness, sweet spirit and unusual powers of mind have won him friends everywhere." Almong the eloquent letters received by the Standing Committee there was none which spoke more emphatically than the * 9 one from George A. Gordon, D. D., the eminent pastor of the Old South Church, Boston, in which he said that among the younger ministers in the United States there was no one w bom he could recommend more heartily, and there was no one better equipped for the care of a great church than Mr. Sylvester. Dr. Sylvester will be especially strong among the young people of the Church. He is young enough himself—thirtyeight—to fully sympathize with and keep in close touch with the Endeavor Society and the Sunday School. He recognizes the fact that the hope of the future lies with the young. His sermons are thoughtful, practical and of the inspiring kind. While not in robust health, Dr. Sylvester has added weight since coming to the Islands and savs that he feels "fit" to take up the fall campaign in the Church work. He leaves on the S. S. "Siberia," September 4th, for the mainland to attend to some business in the East. After an absence of about six weeks he will return to Honolulu, and upon the first Sunday after his arrival will preach his inaugural sermon. Dr. Sylvester will not try to make any revolutionary changes in the Church work. He will try for the present to work to the uttermost the machinery that is already in operation. No one doubts of the opportunities rising before Central Cnion Church. It ought to be the spiritual power house of the Hawaiian Islands. And it can be. The "Advertiser" in a recent editorial says: "Dr. Sylvester, if he accepts the pastorate, will find, perhaps, the opportunity of his life. There is a vast workto do and a body of Christian people waiting to do it. Honolulu is largely a pagan city, and this great Church, the Central Union, stands in the midst of it at the point of vantage, buttressed by a Promise, but waiting for a Word. To speak that Word and reorganize the fighting strength of Central Union is no light task, but we share the hope that Dr. Sylvester will be the man to do it." The Islands bid Dr. Sylvester welcome. E. B. T. CHARACTER OF THE PORTUGUESE IN HAWAII. It is sought in this article to vindicate the reputation of our Portuguese resi- dents from certain apparent aspersions by First Circuit Judge W. J. Robinson, of Honolulu. In a letter to Senator G. C. Perkins of California, which has recently been published, he earnestly depre- �THE FRIEND. 10 effort "to induce the immigration of alien paupers," specifying "Portuguese, Porto Kicans, Koreans, and last, but not least, Molokans." He goes on to term them "alien pauper lalxirers, in instances social pariahs, moral main and religious fanatics in the counlepers try from which they hail." Not unnaturally, a violent uproar of resentment arose from our Portuguese at being included in such a classification. It is due to Judge Robinson to report that he has emphatically disclaimed intending to call the Portuguese "social pariahs and moral lepers." Probably he did not intend so to revile them But, unfortunately the only active immigration effort now on hand, such as he deprecates, is one to introduce here several thousand families of Portuguese from the Azores and Madeira, whence our present Portuguese population was derived from twenty to twenty-five years ago. Thus he can scarcely escape the unfortunate imputation, lie doubtless had in mind especially the Porto Ricans, who with a large admixture of negro blood, more naturally gravitate to the slums. As "fanatics," he probably had in mind the Russian "Molokans," who are a kind of Protestant come-outers from the Greek Church, and have suffered much persecution and exile. 'There has been no exhibition whatever of fanaticism among these humble and orderly people, who have commonly attended our Protestant Churches. 'Turning aside a moment from our main topic, we would say about the recent conspicuous failure to domicile this Molokan colony, that it seems mainly attributable to the fact that they had already experienced the higher wages and advantages of life in Southern California, and would not accept inferior conditions in Hawaii. It is only another illustration of the fact that it is impossible for Hawaii to draw hither any important laboring element from the teeming and prosperous United States. Laborers must lie imported directly across the ocean, without passing across the American continent. liven that wretched Porto Rican colony could not be hurried across from New Orleans to San Francisco without losing a considerable part of their numbers on the road. to the subject of the Portusc in Hawaii, it seems likely that ?e Robinson wrote in haste and withdiscrimination.

But they proved themselves to be members of an advanced civilization, accustomed to law and order, trained, patient and enduring workers. Their women, both the elder and the youthful, at once made capable house servants, patient, courteous, cleanly and trustworthy. The economy and thrift of these people has been conspicuous. A vagrant, idle, dissolute or unthrifty Portuguese is a rarity. Many hundreds of these illiterate men and women have out of their poverty saved money and Iwught good lots costing many hundreds of dollars, and have built thereon neat cottages .embowered with the traditional "vine and fig tree."

The decision cost him but a few moments. Several years ago while on his way to the Philippines where he was being sent by a syndicate to purchase mahogany —Dr. Hand, by the way, is an expert in fine furniture woods—Honolulu completely won his heart. The Doctor is said to be a man of rare personal winsomeness. He is expected to build up his department here with great success. D. S. TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT. 11 of a man around the place.

Please notice what follows is not quoted from any temperance paper, but from the Chicago Tribuns: "Saloons and business are incompatible.

The business employer is getting to be as particular in his questions as the doctor; he does not want drinking men.

There is no mistake about that. We happen to know a couple of brothers who conduct a brewery, capitalized at $1,000,000, who never suffer a drop of beer to pass their own lips. And now comes the press report of the Liquor Men's convention at some town in Oklahoma. The reporter could not refrain from expressing" his surprise that the banquet which followed the convention was "dry." The fact is that the whole trade is one grand swindle, and no one knows it better than the people engaged in it. Older persons will remember that Mr. Barnum, the amusement vendor, was converted from a moderate drinker to a temperance lecturer by finding himself made the subject of a miserable and humiliating cheat in his favorite tipple.

Father Coan (whose dignified presence and parental bearing marked iiim in any company, with his gentle wife whose amiable qualities and charming manner endeared her to all who enjoyed her hospitality) can never be forgotten. Their intellectual ability and earnest devotion to the cause for which they labired was recognized not only in lido md all over the Islands, but in all Christian lands. What wonder that the friends who have known Harriet Coan since childhood should say, she was a fitting representative of such noble parents. She was a woman of rare attainments, hut so unobstrusive, one had to seek in order to find the varied knowledge she possessed. She was unswerving and faithful in the performance of every duty, even to the most minute details. She was true to her friends, not demonstrative, but always loyal. She was unselfish in thought and deed —what mother could have given greater or more self-sacrificing devotion to a child than she gave to her fatherless nephew ? The family love was a marked characteristic, never more strikingly exhibited than in her last weary days, when her constant thought was for her absent sister. She was not afraid to die, but the brave way in which she met impending evil and walked through the valley of the shadow of death, was heroic. Harriet Coan will be missed—but one of such rare endowment of her heart and head can never be forgotten. Lucinda Severance. �THE FRIEND 14 quired at night.

A recent trip was made to Kohala, Hawaii, one of the oldest Chinese Mission stations on the Islands. Here the thrifty Chinese farmers have faithfully toiled for the past thirty years, bringing up their families well, seeking to give them a good education in both English and Chinese. Sonic of the young people from this district have become good helpers in the Church and also the educational work. < >nc is the assistant superintendent of the Tort Street Sunday School.

He says:"I am happy to do the seed sowing, perhaps the fruit will he gathered by some one else." At one plantation, where the Chinese and Japanese camps are very near together, a union Oriental meeting was held. Chinese and Japanese gathered in large numbers before the general store, with also a few Koreans. A table with lanterns was prepared on the store platform, which made a good speaker's desk. A lecture was given in both Chinese and Japanese, on Japan's influence in China. This was followed by a gospel message. Children from the Japanese Mission school sang "Jesus loves me this 1 know," in Japanese, It was also sung in Chinese. All who gathered seemed to thoroughly enjoy the meeting. The week's stay in Kohala was made doubly enjoyable by the very kind and thoughtful hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Bond, who ever give a warm welcome to the missionary at the old Mission Christians.
