Word came from very busy men on the mainland that they had done the unusual thing of reading the first two of these reports from end to end. The same sort of testimony now reaches the office with reference to the third. The Board printed ovci 1,000 copies of this year's report—a number far in advance of anything thus far undertaken. The edition was exhausted as soon as it could be atldresseel and the large number of requests for more copies would have justified the issuing of 1300 or 1400. The financial returns from this venture are awaited with interest. Okumura Off For Japan. The rapid development of tuberculosis in the third son of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Okumura necessitated a hasty trip to Japan where it is helped a change of climate may induce a favorable turn in the dread elisease. 'Hie .sympathy of all their many friends goes out to the stricken household. It seemed hard for so busy a pastor to leave so soon after the completion of the new meeting house, but it is the expressed hope of the Board that this visit may be turned to large account for missionary work both in Hawaii and Japan. Mr. Okumura will be able to see the relatives of many of his countrymen now in this Territory. His addresses will stimulate new interest in our enterprise and will we trust result in the coming of several much needed evangelists. No other one person has contributed so large a share to the success of missionary endeavor in Hawaii for Japanese as Mr. Okumura.

S. A SHEAF OF OLD LETTERS. By F. W. Damon. During this month there will be cele- brated at Willianistown, Mass., one of the most notable anniversaries of the American Board, uniting as it eloes the regular annual meeting of this Boarel. with the centennial celebration of the birth of the foreign mission idea in the United Stales. From the prayer meeting held under the Haystack flowed forth a tide of blessed influence which has encompassed the world. Foremost in that group of earnest young men, whe> were the human instruments employed of God, to launch this beneficent movement, stands Samuel J. Mills, Jr. It is an interesting fact that here in these distant "isles of the sea," towards which his thoughts often turned so earnestly anil prayerfully have been preserved for many years, with loving and reverent care, certain reminders of this consecrated ami truly remarkable man. His writing elesk, on which he penned many of his burning and impassioned letters, still reminds us eloquently of its former owner. Letters, yellow with age anel creased with well-nigh a century of folding, sermon "briefs," "notes" and various memoranda testify to the large heart and active brain, which labored for the advance of the Redeemer's Kingdom, with the arelor of a Saint and the broad grasp of a states- It is not unfitting that they should find a home in the land of Obookiah, to whom Mills was guide, counsellor anil frienel. A recent biographer has saiel of Samuel J. Mills, Jr., in reviewing his many and varied Undertakings, for humanity: "He spoke eif sending the Gospel to Asia at the llavstach meeting; he lost his life in carrying light to the Dark continent anel made plans which resulted in the first mission to the Sandwich Islanels." For years the "Mills Institute" of this city has borne his name. As this in time shall be merged with the "MidPacific Institute," will not the friends of world-wide missions here and on the mainland unite in giving this honored name tei a memorial church, connected with this proposed institution? It has been thought that at this time a few extracts from the letters here preserved may be of interest: man. A Prayer For Hawaii That Was Answered. Torringforel, Jan. nth, 1811. Dear Sister: I arriveel home Saturelay night last week. A few days previous to my leaving Andover, I received a letter from our Father stating that Mamma was more unwell, and express- ing a wish that I should return home. In compliance with the request of our Dear Parents, I left Andover on Wednesday of last week. In Hartford | learned that our Dear Mother was no more', God as we trust hael received her to Himself. Our bather seems supported under this affliction, less depressed than I expected to find him, though possessing all his upward tenderness. Jeremiah seems likewise strengthened from above, God grant that this affliction may help to work out for us an "exceeding and eternal weight of ghiry." I do not know how soon 1 shall return to Andover. Henry (Obookiah) remains there—is much pleased with the plase, learns well. One evening previous to mv leaving that place as I knelt with him before the Throne of Grace I told him he might make a prayer.

The responsibility of my station at this time I consieler to be vast, far beyond anything that has ever before been attached to my situation. But I hope, I eliel not engage in it hastily, certainly not before I felt a conviction that contemplated measures would be approved by Cod. By this manner of expression I do not intend to express mv entire confidence that precisely the measures contemplated will be needed at once. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. But this I believe that the agitation of the subject now under consideration will eventuate in the most happy results. If an evil exists in a community a remedy must be sought out, especially ■i it be an evil gradually and necessarily tire larly benefited by this discussion, or that even any more than a compare tively very small part of the free people of colour could in the present agehe greatly benefited by the measures proposed, Hut 1 considered the movement, even a disposition to agitate the subject, as a ray of lisjflit breaking through a elark cloud anil as the pre- of another and another. 1 felt it therefore my duty to give the design all the aid 1 could. I felt the more constrained to do this as I perceived after the formation of the colonization society that there was danger that the interest which had be-e-n excited woulel subside ami things revert to their former hopeless state. The .-ending out of agents to Africa would help to keep the subject alive in the public mind. And as the impulse seemed evidently to be benevolent, tlie-rc was a prospect that happy consequences would result could that impulse lie kept up. A consideration of the state eif the free people of colour might lead to measures calculated to improve their condition, at home, if a place coulel not be provided for them abroad. It might leael to measures tei restrain the practice of kidnapping ami even for improving the state of the slaves anel eventually perhaps to the emancipation of many of the latter class. If by persevering the object now in evidence, few of the free blacks of good character coulel be settled on any part of the African coast, they might be the means of introducing civilization and religion amongst the barbarous nations around them, their settlement might increase gradually; and some might in time go out from that settlement and form others on different parts of the coast or the interior carrying with them the blessing of the everlasting Gospel and civilized life. These and many other like views which had taken of this subject induced me to act as the Agent of the Colonization Society. curseir We cannot fix any time for our rethe L'niteel States, should we go from Africa direct we may be at home late in the summer or early in the fall.

Under the genial treatment of the young ardent Christians of the college he blossomed out into a most attractive character. In 1810 Samuel J.

This school removed to Cornwall in 1817. From the first Obookiah was the bright particular star of this institution. His talents developed so rapidly that towards the close of 1816 he was called to Amherst to engage in a campaign of money raising for the American Boarel. In this he achieved signal success. The opponents of foreign missions among the churches were very numerous anel very loud. ( ibookiah had now attaineel his full statute of nearly 6 feet, anel possessed a singularly impressive, dignified, graceful and attractive presence. His handsome olive complexion anel piercing eye, his fine command of English, amiable and affectionate disposition, keen minei anel geioel common sense won friends everywhere. Notwith- standing the excessive laudatiein to which he was exposed he remained con- sistentb- humble-mineleel and unspoiled. Such a splendid example of what the truth of Christ could do for a whilom untutored savage was in itself an unanswerable argument for missions. Wherever he- went friends of the Hoard were quickly made, opposers were silenced or changeel into ardent supporters anil money flowed into the treasury. From April, 1817, until Feb. 17. 1818, (ibookiah continued at the Foreign Mission School. His attainments were remarkable. Besides gaining proficiency in the three' Rs he acepiired some- knowledge eif Euclid ami Latin and made' such progress in Hebrew as to be able to translate readily from that language into Hawaiian. He diel excellent work in preparing" a Grammar, Dictionary and Spelling book in bis own tongue and in translating the entire book of Genesis. He was a very exact student and was gifted with a memory that seemed to forget nothing. His powers of observation were so keen that he needed to see a thing but once in order to be able to do it himself. Those who knew him most intimately hael the highest expectations of his future and when after an illness of a few weeks he died in the parsonage of Rev. Timothy Stone in Cornwall it seemed to the friends of the Board as though an irreparable loss had befallen the cause of Christ. But tne young apostle of Hawaii— for such he was in spirit—had done his work. His short life burned itself into the hearts of the youth of New England and within a year of his tragic death a band of fourteen, headed by Messrs. Bingham and Thurston, came spontaneously forward to offer themselves for Hawaii. Fourteen lives out of the death of one has the true ring of apostolic Christianity.

There were great souls, anil genial hearts, anel refined spirits among them, to whom we became bound in a life-long friendship and fellowship. Since they have nearly all passed on to the higher life, we expected in returning, after so many years, that few woulel remember us. But the cordial greeting and kind attention we have recciveel from so many of their chilelren, anel other kindred spirits whom we have learned to know anel love, have cheered and strengthened our hearts. We saw in our first visit, a large native population living in their grassthatched houses. We saw their large houses for worship filleel on the quiet Sabbath clays. We saw them gather for early morning prayer, at the blowing of the conch shell. We saw the Bible in nearly all their homes, and native Christians who had reael it through over and over again in their daily elevotions. We felt the grasp eif their hanels, and heard their sw eet "aloha' as they crowdeel arenintl us at the close eif their meetings, where, through kind interpreters, some little message had been spoken to them. ()ur hearts were drawn to them with an undying Christian interest. We see the contrast now in the evidences everywhere, of a declining race. Hut various other races have come to take their place, anil to share a Christian inheritance procured by consecrated lives in the past. A wider outlook, a large opportunity, a more imperative call to minister to the worhl's need, comes to all of the present generation whom Goel has enelowed richly with the gifts of His Providence and of His Grace. How much depends upon the faithful stewardship of all these, for these Islands and for the world for time and for eternity ! JOEL BEAN. Honolulu, Sept. ii, 1906. r �THE FRIEND STRANDED STEAMERS. Honoulu has a strange experience in the successive strandings of three large steamships within four weeks. Each one was crowded with passengers, all of whom were comfortably landed, and two of the companies well cared for in this city. As we write, two of the ships have been successfully floateel, and the thirel is nearly certain of being so. The first case was that of the great Pacific Mail liner Manchuria, which ran upon the fringing reef north of the east point of this island. After 27 days of exposure to possibly destructive storms, she was pulled eiff by the skill of the expert wrecker, Metcalf, of San Francisco, on September 16th. Her 200 cabin passengers hail all been easily landed at Waimanalo, and transporteel by hacks and automobiles 21 miles to Honolulu, their baggage following them by water. 'They were provieled for at our hotels, by the P. M. S. S. Company. anel forwarelcel by later steamers to the Orient. The second disaster was that of the U. S. Transport Sheridan, eleven days later on August JI. She ran upon an outlying point of the fringing reef close to Barber's Point, 20 miles west of our city. Her numerous passengers were also brought by water to the city without serious inconvenience, anel have been carried by the transport Sherman to San Francisco. As we write, the Sheridan is reported to be on the point of being successfully gotten off. Anel then, on the same clay that the Manchuria was floateel, her giant sistership, the Mongolia, stranded upon a reef near the Cable Station at Midway Island, 1200 miles west of us. A fleet of steamers speedily saileel to her assistance, the Restorer carrying Wrecker Metcalf with his equipment of anchors and cables. But after five days she was floated by her own efforts, and two days later, saileel for Honolulu, escorted by U. S. Transport Buford, which carrieel her passengers and mails that had been put ashore at Midway on the first day, where they spent a week on the almost naked sand-spit. This rapid succession of dangerous disasters awakens a sense of insecurity. In these almost stormless seas, devoid of outlying shoals, we have become accustomed to a sense of security to our visiting steamers. Since large steamliners beglan their visits in 1876, only one has got in trouble, the Miowera, which in trying to enter without a pilot, blundered upon the reef inside the entrance of our harbor. After lying there two months, this same Metcalf pulled 13 her off, and she is still running on her HAWAII ASSOCIATION MEETINGHA2SILE3UTOPG,0.196.

There was a large Sunday School exhibition at Lihue on Sunday, the 2ist of August. All the Sunday Schools from Kapaa to W'aimea were represented. These schools increasingly show the influence and leadership of English-speaking friends and teachers. There is a widely prevalent dissatisfaction on Kauai with both the quantity and quality of the stuff sold by the manifold saloons on the island. A good deal of the virulence of the liquor being attributed to the bad quality of it. There is a genetal conviction in favor of high license, but considerable doubt as to the wisdom of local option. The Wainiha excursion for the opening of the Kauai Electric Co.'s plant was a windfall to the Hanalei Church, which has for years been trying to raise money, enough to build a chapel at Wanini, an outlying elistrict of the parish.

Just one year after landing in Honolulu, the Board's agent for Maui brought his bride to their new Wailuku home, which is to be called "The William and Mary Alexander Parsonage." A few days' stay at Manager Wells' delightful guest cottage gave time to get settled somewhat before the first church service, which was well attended. The kindness of Wailuku people was shown in a very marked way on Tuesday evening when the "Good Time Club" gave the pastor anil his wife a most delightful reception at the Alexander House. A general invitation had been extended to the townspeople and over one hundred anel fifty guests filled the spacious hall and lanai. Makawao, Puunene and Kahului were represented as well as Wailuku. People could not have been more cordial in their kind worels and good wishes. The affair was decidedly informal, and the evening seemed to be enjoyed by all. A large number of Hawaiians. Chinese anel Japanese were present. The musical entertainment was novel and decidedly interesting, and one of the best of its kinel e\ er given on Maui. Three Japanese ladies sang. Several piano solos were rendered by Maui's best talent. The Hawaiian music was especially beautiful. Another interesting evening was occupied by the first business meeting of those who wish to reorganize the Lmion Protestant Church of Wailuku. A goodly number of "the faithful" were present and after about half an hour's frank discussion of religious views, the majority' voteel to accept a confession and covenant which should make all followers of the Lord feel as one in the fellowship of believers. The foundation stones of the new Kahului Union Church are laid and plans for a ceimmodious house of worship have been elrawn up. In a fewmonths more services in Fnglish will be conducteel here for the first time. The second year of work em Maui opens high with many signs of steadyprogress in the work for the Master. R. B. D.

She hail just come from a Bible reaeling on Heaven a few moments before she was drowneel, where she hael filled a vacancy at the piano." The following extract from a letter written by one of his Beloit friends was read at a meeting of the Woman's Hoard of the Interior, at Chicago, August 17th: "Yes, clear Mrs. Leake, the Henry D. Smith drowned at Lake Geneva on the 7th was the only living child of Arthur anel Emma Smith. You will see by the enclosed that Henry could work as fast as his father can talk. He hael found his place. He was twenty-six years old anel had not seen his mother since hewas thirteen, when she brought and placcel him here with friends. His visit with his father last year was most enjoyable. Dr. Smith proudly saying, T used to hear of Henry as Arthur Smith's son. Now it is that lam named the father of Henry Smith.' The most touching incident at the funeral was a wreath on Henry's casket laid there by Miss Macumber's family after it hael rested the previous day on her coffin. On it was the inscription, 'What greater love can a man have than that he lay down his life for a friend,' and the family sat in the front seat, shaken with emotion but sustained by an unfaltering faith." The ladies of the Board remembered the young man as the little curly-haireel hoy who was called "Honey Bee Smith,' and as such he is well remembered by those who were at Punahou twenty-one years ago. M. A. C. 11l the early months of the year 1885, eluring the presidency of W. C. Merritt at Oahu College, Rev. Arthur Smith, missionary to China, with his wife, Mrs. Emma Dickenson Smith, and their two lovely little children, a boy and a girl, made a delightful visit to the Merritts at Punahou. Mrs. Merritt anel Mrs. Arthur Smith were sisters most tenderly beloved, am! the visit of that missionary family is still remembered. The sweet little girl, "Marie" died a few years later in California. She was a most saintly girl whose life and death were widely known in Oaklanel where the parents were on their missionary furlough. Now, we note the death of the son. Henry D.
