Hale Aloha.
But in order to reach this ideal in
ecclesiastical statesmanship a center
for English work is imperatively demanded. Wainee Church building is
somewhat out of the way for the kind
of work to be done and the new
methods require a suitable Parish
House. Fortunately an old stone building, rootless and floorlcss, but otherwise strategically situated and of very
ample proportions, once used as a
branch church and then as a school

house and bearing the appropriate
name of Hale Aloha, stands yet in the
name of Wainee, available for this very
use. The Church members resolved to

rally about their pastor in his plans,
subscribed a sum of money and set
about to raise more. It is found that
some $700 additional must be secured
to put this building in complete repair.
A subscription paper is on foot in Honolulu now and it is hoped that the entire sum may be raised in the course of
the next few weeks. Mrs. F. M. Simpson of VYailuku will go to Lahaina
about November 1 to reenforce this
movement.

Missionary Fifty Years.
One-half century ago on October 21,
1851'), Rev. Hiram Bingham was consecrated a missionary of the American
Roarcl to Micronesia. On his way out
he, with his beautiful bride, stopped at
I louolulu, the young couple of striking
physical attractiveness winning the admiration of all. They were called to
settle on one of the Gilbert Islands,
.vhere hardship and wretched fare soon
did their work, wrecking the health of
both. Returning to Honolulu they
continued here during the intervening
years, giving time and energy unstintedly to the far away Islanders, together translating the Bible and a number of useful books into the Gilbertese
language, until Mrs. Ringham was
called home some two years ago. Since
then Dr. Ringham has continued his
labor of love with unabated courage,
his present task being the completion
of the Gilbertese dictionary. Hawaii
has for decades had its full quota of

We are glad to receive in good time
the needed and reliable counsel of the
Civic Federation in selecting lit candidates for whom to vote in the approaching biennial election. This body
of excellent gentlemen have intelligently selected from the different political tickets in the field the most worthy
names, assigning their reasons for such
choices. They have also pointed out
the most objectionable names on such
tickets, giving the special reasons for
rejecting them, lor this great service

knowledge and with assurance for the

ruled by their judgments, where his
own does not coincide, but will vote independently.
In thus fulfilling their duty, the committee &lt;&gt;f the Federation receive, as
they doubtless expected, much bitter
reviling from the corrupt candidates
and their partisans. They also incur
some reproach even from partisan nominees whom they endorse, but who
seem to feel that they are under covenant obligation to support all the men
on their ticket, however unworthy.
The writer does not here undertake to
pronounce upon the degree of obligation resting upon the nominee of a

yth mo. &lt;;. I set out on a tour around
the island, in order to attend a meeting
of the Missionaries, and of the native
Churches at Haiiula, and to visit Wai-

alua.

I started in company with Eli Corvvin and Dr. Judd,—they in a small
wagon (or buggy) and lon horseback,
having procured a native horse for the
lour.

Our course was over the Pali to Kaneohe. A carriage had never been
known to go down the Pali, and my
traveling companions were the first to
undertake such an adventure. They
both rode down, Dr. Judd's son leading
the horse, the two hind wheels being
locked, and several natives holding
back with with a rope They went
down in safety, but riding on too late,
over a road unused to carriages, they
were upset, horse, wagon and all into
a ditch; but happily without injury to
themselves, or damage even to their
harness.
I called at the I'arker Mission to
spend the night, having prcviouslv
passed a pleasant Sabbath there. I was
kindly welcomed, and our company
was soon increased by the arrival of

MOTHER RICE AND GRAND CHILD.

CELEBRATION OF MOTHER
RICE'S NINETIETH BIRTH-DAY
ANNIVERSARY.
On the nth of October Mrs. Mary
S. Rice of Lihue. Kauai, filled out the
four score and ten years of a most
happv and useful life.
By a happy thought of some of her
Hawaiian friends, one hour of the
meeting of the Association of the Island of Kauai was set apart for thanksgiving to the Heavenly lather that He
had so long spared the life and health
of this beloved mother in Israel.
The morning hour, from ten to
eleven, of Thursday. ( &gt;cl. 18, the Kauai
Association, by appointment, listened
to speeches from four of its members,
in reminiscence of the life and labors
of this highly esteemed lady.

American Indians of Oregon, but sailing for Oregon by way of Cape Horn,
and Honolulu, were detained on the
islands, and with the full approval of
the American Board, joined the Hawaiian Mission, and were located for three
years at liana, Maui, and thence were
transferred to I'tinahou, where, associated with Rev. Daniel Dole, and
Miss Maria M. Smith, they for some
years had a large share in shaping the
character of the earlier children of the
Mission.
Failure of health on the part of Mr.
Rice led to a withdrawal from the direct Missionary connection, and a location at Lihtie, Kauai, while Mr. Rice
still caring for the Hawaiian Church
also engaged in the culture of sugar
cane as a means of self support.

churches and pastors who have received aid from Mrs. Rice during these
years, can not be numbered. The
philanthropic, educational and missionary causes that have received aid
from this enlightened gfiver are legion.
Mr. Gulick spoke briefly of his relation to Mother Rice as a Punahou hoy
in the early days of that institution ;
and of her having early learned, and
through life practiced on the principal
that "It is more blessed to give than to
receive."
Mr. Win. H. Rice, Sr., followed with
an interesting speech in vernacular Hawaiian in which he mentioned that his
mother's father was a missionary to
Indian tribes in the northern States in
early times, showing that his mother
from her childhood had been familiar
with the trials and the joys of missionary life. Never had a son more
cause to honor his mother.
The harmony and healthy condition
of the ministers and churches on the
Island of Kauai, we think, is due in no
small degree to the humble Christian
life of this honored lady. Yet long
may she live to he a light and blessing
to her children, her many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and to
the entire Kauai community. O. H. G.
TRIBUTE TO MOTHER RICE AT
THE NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY

CELEBRATION.

Not infrequently, especially at this
lime of the year, we have days which,
in the morning, give promise of great
beauty which the afternoon does not
redeem. The morning is cloudless—
the noon-day is brilliant, but in the afternoon the sky darkens, the clouds pile
up against the mountains, the rain
descends and the day goes out in gloom
and darkness. Then there are other
days, which keep the promise of the
morning, to the very end, the brilliance
of the forenoon sinking into the chastened radiance of the late afternoon and
the restful twilight of the gloaming.
These are the perfect days. So there is
many a life whose morning gives great
promise, whose noon-day shows great
accomplishment, but whose afternoon
and evening are darkened and undone
by weakness, or failure, or mistake, or
sin which reflects back and discredits
the whole life. The ideal lives are
those in which morning promise and
noon-day accomplishment are followed
by afternoon peace and joy. Such a life
is that of our Missionary Mother,
whose 90th birthday we celebrate today—Mother Rice. "They also serve

who only stand and wait." The
active service of a busy restless
life is commendable. When (iod
bids us "go" we may not wait.
When Ciikl bids us work we
may not rest, but there is a
waiting, service which is just as
commendable and just as much
a service to the world as the
busy life. To this anxious nerv-

ous busy age of ours such a life
as Mother Rice's, simple, quiet,

grade of the school has been raised to
that of a high school, thus making it
possible, for the first time in the history of the institution, to accommodate
the more advanced scholars in the
classes of the institute. The commercial course, started last year, is now
thoroughly outlined and well under
way. It bids fair to become a popular
course with the young men of the city.
The courses in Chinese literature and
history have been greatly expanded,
giving a new impetus to the study of
that language. Lack of room prevents
the development of industrial features.
That the school has excellent industrial
material, however, is shown in the fact
chat Mills students earned over a thousand dollars during the summer vacation working on the plantation of the
Hawaiian Pineapple Company at Wahiawa.
The school is fortunate in retaining
the services of Mr. R. H. Leach for a
third year. 11 is excellent service during the (last two years, his experience
and his familiarity with the needs of
the students make him a valuable man
in the school. The school is equally
fortunate in its new teachers, Mr.
Charles F. Brissel and Mr. Robert G.
Rogers. Mr. Brissel is a graduate of
( &gt;beriin, Ohio, a college that has already given some valuable men to Hawaii. Mr. Rogers, who has charge of
the commercial department, comes
from the Pacific Coast Commercial College of San Jose, California. These
strong young men, imbued with the
true missionary spirit, have thrown the
force of their lives into the work of the
school and will exert a powerful influence upon the lives of their scholars.

Mr. Emerson's connection with the
church at Shelburne Falls though full
of charm, was not entirely satisfactory,
as will be seen from the following letter: Writing from the home of his
classmate. Rev. George A. Jackson, at
Swanipton, Mass., in April, 1880, he
says,"l am here with my. classmate
Jackson in his pleasant home within
sight and sound of the sea. My rooms
at Shelburne Falls are deserted, but not
dismantled. It gives me a pang to
break away from familiar and pleasant
scenes, but I am assured that it is best.
Am not yet located in a new field of
labor but hope soon to be. I want to be
settled and not hired by the year, as
I was in Shelburne Falls." His hope,
though not immediately realized, was
ere long made good in a manner that
was ideally satisfactory.
In 1881 (Feb. 23,) he writes from
Peacedale, R. I.: "I am just through
with the affair of my installation and
am feeling like work. Have been busying myself this afternoon putting my
books in good shape. The matter of
organizing the work is the great thing
now."
'fhe work and the whole environment
of his life while in Peacedale were most
cheerful and sympathetic. He had
many and powerful friends and a devoted church.
Nov. 13, 1888, he writes from Peacedale, R. I.: "It seems now to be an
established fact that I am to go to the
Islands. I received a letter to that effect from Dr. Smith (Secy. A. B C.
F. M.) yesterday. I expect to read my
letter of resignation next Sabbath and
have it take effect at the end of the
month —I may by great expedition succeed in getting off in time to take the
steamer of the middle of December."
The need of the Hawaiian churches for
a man specially fitted for" work among
them, and, as secretary of the Hawaiian Board, to hold them to their bearings, was great. A tidal-wave of
paganism, fostered in high places was
threatening to sweep all before it.
Few of this day can appreciate the
meaning of these words. There was
even a threatened union of church and
State—with Kalakaua at the head.
These are not imaginative words: the
danger was real and imminent. Delay
was only heaping up the difficulty and
deepening the flood.
Mr. Emerson's response to this
Macedonian cry, though made at great
personal sacrifice—for it called him to

ians phrase it, not the least of them
was an optimistic acquaintance with
human nature, as well as a growing
fondness and acquaintance with the
best literature. This gave him insight
into all the vexed questions of correction and discipline as they arose in Hawaiian matters, the other added substance to his Hawaiian speech, in which
he possessed in no small degree the gift
of eloquence.
Mr. Emerson was married February
15, 1896, to Miss Eugene Homer of
Roxbury, Massachusetts. Their wedding journey led them to England,
through parts of Europe, as far as to
Athens.
He returned to Hawaii with Mrs.
Emerson in November of the same year
and again took hold of his work with
renewed enthusiasm ; and in whatever
part of the world his lot may be cast,
it is to Hawaii that his heart will ever
remain true.

Mr. Emerson landed in Honolulu in
December, 1888.
To return and utter a few words as
to the religious—one might almost say
the police-religious —situation in the
Islands. The attempt was to yoke
Church and State together in the same
harness, the promised consideration for
this spiritual headship, on the part of
him who aspired to be the "Primate" of
the Pacific, being the loaves and fishes,
of government support.

Anderson (Secy, of the A. B. C. F. M.)

TIDINGS FROM HARTFORD.
We give below portions of a letter
received from Mr. Akaiko Akana. A
recent Boston Transcript article contained the names of the young Christians who were to take part in the prayer meeting about the Haystack monument. Two of these were from China
tone being a lineal descendant of Confucius, studying in Vale), and one each
from Japan, Africa, India, Mexico,
Bohemia, Ceylon and Turkey. The
tenth hails from Hawaii, Mr. Akana.
Thus the public life of our young friend
has begun early and he has had the
rare honor of a place on the program
of the greatest meeting in the history
of the American Board. Under date
of September 29 Mr. Akana writes
from Hartford as follows:
"Aloha
I arrived here on the
24th day of this month after having a
very pleasant trip across the Continent.
I had no trouble whatever after I left
San Francisco. I left Oakland on Tuesday night, September 18th, at 6 o'clock,
and arrived at Chicago on Saturday
morning at 8 o'clock. I called at the
Y. M. C. A. building and found Dr.
Roy there instead of Dr. Tenney. The
lady whom you spoke of came to meet
me outside of the office and I gave her
the letters and the slides. They were
all safe. I had a very nice time with
Dr. Roy that morning and I had lunch
with him at noon. After lunch I visited the Art Institute, a part of the city,
and also a part of the great lake, Michigan. After visiting, I went to the
Michigan Central Depot to make preparations for the trip to this city, and
at II o'lock that night I boarded the

oe:

train. I had a very interesting time in
Chicago.
"I arrived at Springfield, Monday,
September 24., at 7 o'clock, and it was
not long after my arrival there before
I got on the New Haven Railroad train
and reached here at 11 o'clock. About
one o'clock in the afternoon I came to
the Seminary and met Dr. Mackenzie
here. He is really a fine man. He has
a beautiful Christian character and I
am truly delighted in having him for
my faculty advisor. I met mostly all
of the professors that same afternoon.
Prof. Thayer assisted me in getting my
room and in making arrangements for
me here. I had everything settled at 5
o'clock that afternoon and felt very
much at home then. It is a joy to me
to be here in the midst of Christian
men. I find the work here very interesting indeed. At present I am taking
up the following studies: Old Testament Canon, New Testament Canon,
Psychology and Propedeutics, Voice
Building, one hour each week. It isn't
so very cold here as I expected. The
temperature here now is very much the
same as it is in Honolulu, but it is
awful to think that the weather wiil
soon change.
"I think of you often when I am
alone and of the friends there. I was
rather homesick the first two days
here but such feelings are passing off
by. degrees.
"1 presume you have heard of all that
had happened to us before I left. I was
sorry for the expense that the Board
had to bear. I appreciated Mr. Damon's
service very much."
[The expense refers to the papers he
was required by the United States Government to procure certifying to facts
of his native birth. Mr. Akana is a
Hawaiian horn citizen of the United
States, hut because his father is a native of China he was compelled to
spend $38.90 to secure papers that
would allow him to go from one Territory in our "Glorious Union" to a
neighboring State. To this humiliating
extent sandlotism in San Francisco
has reduced our boasted liberty.—Ed.]

and games which have been introduced. One devoted Japanese father
brings his very small daughter earlyeach day and spends his entire
morning in the kindergarten, evidently
enjoying it as heartily as do the little
ones.

For assistants in the work, the kindergarten is training two young Hawaiian girls who are totally inexperi-

enced; and a small Japanese girl who
has no knowledge of English has just
volunteered to give what help she can
in return for the training she will re-

ceive. Working with such untrained
help is of course very difficult, and as
the kindergarten depends so much upon
the capability of the helpers employed,
it is certainly to be hoped that the kindergartner may, in time, be able to devote her entire attention to the kindergarten itself, and the training of
kindergarten students who may give
their services in return for the kindergarten training course offered them by
the director. If any one can inform us
of suitably educated girls who are interested in work with children, and
who would like to gain a kindergarten
training in this way, we shall be very
riad to correspond.
A reception was given on Tuesday
evening, October iGth, to welcome
Miss C. L. Turner, who has been away
from us during the past year, and to
meet Miss Towner, the settlement
worker, and Miss Strong, the kindergartner of Alexander House. The gen■ral invitation given to the people of
Wailuku brought most cordial response
and the kindergarten room at Alexander House was filled with over one
hundred and fifty guests. A very enjoyable evening was passed in musical
entertainment, games and conversation. We, who are new to the Islands,
wish to express our hearty appreciation
of the cordiality which has been shown
us all along the way.

a good deal of character. His wife and
little child were there today. His sister was also at home as her husband
had just died. She was married into a
heathen family, and ti Id how she had
tried, without success, to get her husband to come here to the hospital, hoping! that in that way Christianity might
be brought to that home. Then, before
he died, she told him how Jesus could
forgive and take away sins and that it
was not too late for him to confess his
sins. That was a great deal for a Chinese girl to say to her husband. I told
you before how "the sisters" were
rather discouraged about the lion
family, who seemed to go along in the
same proud, indifferent way all the
lime. But it seems as though the tide
had turned. The girls are more friendly and ready to learn, and this boy at
Fung Chou is so enthusiastic, and a
little daughter of one of the family who
is helping the London Mission has
unbound her feet—the first of the whole

family to do so.
By the way, we sometimes have fun-

conversations with the teacher,
showing what the Chinese think about
foreigners. The other day one of the
sentences in the book said", "His wife's
strength is greater than his." The
teacher said that that was not often the
case m China, because they had hound
leet. but he supposed it wa's true sometimes in America. I said it was very
seldom so there, and he seemed surprised and after considering for a moment asked very seriously whether
it
was on account of their waists
being
bound. He said they have a common
saying "With Chinese it's the feet,
and
with foreigners it's the waist." It
is
so funny to have a man one minute using chemical symbols to make me understand the Chinese for acetylene
lights, and the next minute asking
questions that you might expect from a
child of ten."

priests do their juggling tricks.
Before this affair took place I went
over to the school and heard the exercises of the literary society, which I
did not understand in the least. One
of the girls described an imaginary trip
to Hades, which amused every one very
much. Nearly all of them are veryread v speakers, and would as soon as
not get up there and talk about almost
any subject. While the exercises were
in progress all the girls were sewing on
shoes or stockings which they all make
for themselves. At noon I had done a
rushing business at the "shop," in linings and other materials for the shoes.
They are all getting ready for the "big
