A few days preceding election the ringstcrs were startled and the rest of the community moved to deep gratitude by the announcement of the determination of the Executive to leave no stone unturned to secure absolute fairness at the polls. The simple expedient chosen by Governor Carter to safeguard an honest count was the appointment of a large number of the best citizens as election inspectors. This action thoroughly demoralized the forces of evil. At the same time the sight of so many of the most honorable men in the community in charge of the polling booths gave a moral distinction to the balloting that had a decided effect upon the voters. Our Hawaiian fellow-citizens are peculiarly susceptible to appeals to their sense of dignity and propriety. They responded nobly and for once balloting was recognized at its full value to be the prerogative of American kingship. Governor Carter never rendered a higher public service than in this simple effective expedient.

The steady advance of this people in the power of self-g >.\ eminent during the past six years has been of a quality scarce believable. The first legislature elected since annexation was dolefully bad, the second was but a slight improvement. This Nothing better was most natural. could have been expected as the outcome of lost sovereignty, the fatal policy of President Cleveland, the carpetbagger influx and the emergence of noisy demagogs, all of which fanned racial flames. The wonder is that the reaction from the strict control of the Provisional Government and the Republic was not many times worse. The most startling thing about the Hawaiians was their moderation. The election of two years ago clearly showed how nobly they could act when dif- �4 fcrences were buried and the appeal to their higher nature was made strong and plain. Hut the election of November o revealed still deeper depths of integrity and self-respect. Certainly the effectiveness of missionary work never received greater vindication. The Hawaiian* of this island have shown a capacity for American citizenship, a discernment of the essential principles of civil liberty and the possession of self-governing power of a remarkable type. This people is rarely susceptible to moral leadership. The chief characteristic of the election was the well nigh universal scratching of hallots. This was as true of Hawaiian* as of whites. The native race has learned a lesson which hundreds of thousands of European immigrants on the mainland know nothing about. The reason of it is not far to seek. Hawaiians for generations have been readers. From the first missionaries taught the people to think. The form of Christianity introduced was neither monarchical, aristocratic nor oligarchical. It was democratic. The great mistake of 1863, the withdrawal of missionary leaders was a religious .blunder. It was, however, not a had We have reaped the political move. fruits in the ballot scratching of the last election.

The victory for ideals achieved on November 6 is one more tribute to the puissance of the press. Honolulu's leading daily, of which the Territory has a right to be proud, fought the fight through to the finish. For more than a year and a half it has not let up one iota in its inexorable determination to see this city made worthy of its past. Other agencies have at times rested on their oars, but not this paper. Like the classic Fury it has kept to its task with the pitiless persistency of fate. Its campaign this fall was conducted with rare adroitness. It succeeded in exposing the wiles of the ring with a timeliness almost amusing. Finally when the crowning blunder of those whom the gods would destroy culminated in the madness of the Twilei rally, where the machine made its fatal bid for the votes of the vicious and ridiculed che reform candidate for sheriff as one who could be depended upon to execute the law, the Advertiser quick to discern the THE FRIEND grist of the mills of the gods seized tin- The Democratic Campaign. occasion to ensure the victory. All This was notable for its cleanness. honor to this doughty champion of Not a few of the Republican rallies good government. were disgraced with free liquor. Their chief opponents realized that they were The Part of the Civic Federation. Disgusted as were the better citizens with the shamelessness of the policemachine that had the audacity to seat forty-six policemen in the Republican nominating convention, they were at sea as to what practical course to follow to secure victory for the right. Most voters in elections where many offices are to be filled are ignorant of the great majority of candidates submitted for their franchises. Hence voting by parties as the easier way out of the difficulty has facilitated machine rule. Years ago a small group of public-spirited men in Chicago saw this and organized the Municipal Voters' League to study the records of candidates, tell the people plainly about them and give non-partisan advice by endorsing the best men. These reformers were laughed to scorn by practical politicians, but as soon as the citizens caught the idea, they abandoned the rings to their fate and elected League endorsees into a majority of the Common Council. Chicago has been well ruled ever since. Last year the Honolulu Civic Federation instituted this procedure here. It was misunderstood as all such movements at first are. It also committed the mistake of submitting the endorsements of its executive committee to the entire League. This year it proceeded on the principle well vindicated elsewhere that a small committee of men with no personal axes to grind can do the expert work of investigation better than a large body of general citizens. Its list of endorsements was exposed to fierce criticism. Its work was ridiculed on the stump and it provoked much merriment. Hut thoughtful men realized its disinterestedness. It proposed a definite honest program. It helped the common man to a safe voting ticket. The consequence was that only one of the men it opposed won out. that II out of the 15 legislators elected in Oahu County carried its endorsement, that in Honolulu every successful candidate but one on the county ticket and in the country districts all but two were men whom it had commended to the voters. Such a sweeping justification of its work had not figured even in the dreams of its members. building for the future. Many of their candidates were men worthy of the confidence of their fellow-citizens. The appeals made to the people for voles were mainly direct and telling. They gave a worthy exhibition of the manner in which a campaign aimed at intelligent electors should be managed. The large measure of success achieved testified to the appreciation of the people for this sort of electioneering. Still it is idle to claim that the gain was a party one. Practically there was no distinctive principle dividing Republicans and Democrats in intra-territorial affairs. The people voted in the main for those whom they considered the best men. No partisan result was achieved except in the case of the delegatcship which went to the Republicans and thus registered Hawaii on the side of President Roosevelt in national issues. Our Asiatic Fellow-Citizens. At least one of the Japanese papers of Honolulu came out openly for the corrupt police ring, but that this did not represent the real opinion of the sturdy, industrious, thoughtful and honorable people of that race was clear to any one taking the trouble to ascertain the truth. In their homeland the police department is so admirably managed that the sentiment of the best Japanese is one of contempt towards our inefHcient, grafting establishment. Heing a reserved people who do not advertise their real feelings it is not always easy to get at them. Those of us who know them found very widespread rejoicing over the downfall of what has been to them a menace. Stories of how their countrymen were mulcted by the police arc all too common among the Japanese and they have reason to feel satisfaction in the prospect of an upright conduct of this branch of the government. The Chinese, having a goodly number of voters, registered their opinion at the polls. It was one of the most notable features of the election that the younger Chinese citizens, i.e. not the mere handful mequeathed to us from the days of the Monarchy and Republic, but those who have grown up on the soil, acquired themselves nobly. The larger proportion of these voters are fairly edu- �THE FRIEND 5 hoped that nothing will prevent such Federation had more accurately seen patriotic action and that the legislature this and had directed its campaign as will ratify the outcome of this union forcibly towards Hawaiians as it did of effort tor the good of the Territory. towards whites the issue of the recent campaign would have been still more decisive.

At Mohonk and in the annual meetings of the American Missionary Association it might be expected that his name would be held in special veneration. Hut far beyond the borders of educational effort for the Negro and the Indian, wherever the newest questions in education are being asked and answered and the problems involved in the relations of the black and white races are being studied, the figure of this great Patriot looms larger with the fleeting years. At Hampton recently a remarkably life-like bust of the General, sculptured by Mrs. E. Cadwalader Guild, was unveiled. A cut of this bust appears on our front cover. The Civic Federation is considering the question of instituting a movement to secure a replica of this inspiring work of art foi Honolulu. The place par excellence for it would be the grounds of Oahu College, where Armstrong's early educa1). S. tion was begun. LEPER CHRISTMAS BOX. It has come around again, the season of giving. Xo one really begrudges the little time we give to it for "Late and soon in getting and in spending we lay waste our powers"— And we have plenty out of which to give. As to the Board's Christmas Box to the lepers there is little new to be said. The old thing that needs emphasis is that we think we know the situation up in Kalaupapa well enough to do our own buying for this box. We have the confidence—we trust it is well founded- that we can buy things which will please and serve a purpose at the same time. No, no, not merely utilitarian are we: we know the use of toys, candies, gim-cracks and just pretty things: and such always get into our box. There needs to be added only that we have expert lady buyers. Fairness requires too that we admit that we have a balance left over from last year and so will need only $75.00. The box must leave Tuesday. Dec. 18, so all gifts should be in by Saturday, Dec. 15. f. R. A CONCEPTION OF THE DIVINE TRINITY.

Hut in dealing with his complex finite creation, He has to project himself into innumerable finite functions, as He is continually doing in all worlds. One great class of these necessary functions is his necessary communing with the spiritual natures of his children, revealing to them and inspiring them by his personal impartations. In so doing he becomes a finite activity, specialized and localized upon each individual spirit. As such He is the HolySpirit, still God, and yet projected into countless finite activities. The other great and most complex class of indispensable Divine functions is where God projects himself into the sphere of the Material and sensible, as a Personal and Finite Activity. As such, He is "God the Son." As the Son, He created and maintains all worlds. (Colossians 1:16, 17.) Still more as the Son, God manifests himself in finite forms to His earthly children, first as the Jehovah of Israel, and finally as the Divine Son of God, who dwelt among men as Jesus of Nazareth, sharing men's low estate, yet potentially possessing Infinite being. All this seems to be the unquestionable doctrine of the New Testament. Of course it is open to innumerable logical objections, as must be all conceptions dealing with the infinite. But it seems to go as far as we are yet illuminated to conceive of the Divine Nature. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," is declared to be the Foundation Rock upon which the Church is built; and the Apostles were commanded to "disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. So far have we light upon the infinite Mystery of God as related to Finite Man and finite Matter. S. E.

( )ne day this summer I called on old "Incle Aleck" ami found him stretched upon his bed quite helpless and feeble. He said he was (>7 years old and had been "a go-id Republican all his life." thus summing up his virtues very tersely. I asked him if he fought in the War. "No," said he, "I was too old to light then." This certainly sounded strange to mv ears—"too old to fight" and the wai has been over more than forty years. Some of the expressions of the people seemed peculiar at first but now I am accustomed to them. "I reckon you are stout?" means "I guess you are well?" I asked a boy at a hall game last Saturday if he wanted a piece of the water-melon I was cutting up. "1 don't care." was his reply. That meant that he wanted the piece of melon. "Candle-light" means early dark. Any time after noon is called "evening." A woman I called upon the other day said I was Stout-looking and looked "red and fresh." They have many original expressions. Their method of washing clothes is called "battling with the clothes." A woman saw the national flag for the first time a few years ago and was much surprised that there were only three colors in it. The houses of the people used to be made entirely of logs, but lately they have built of boards. Some of the homes are well-kept and cleanly and paint has been used inside and out, but many of the people are poor and have small and filthy houses. Pigs roam about in the yards, chickens frequently wander through the rooms. The cooking is not what it could be and there is a great opportunity for domestic science to be taught. Like everywhere else in the South hot-bread is a favorite article of food. That and honey make a good combination, much to be preferred to some of the greasy and soggy foods set before the hungry but unwilling visitor. I have travelled almost seven hundred miles on horseback in my pastoral work and it is delightful to ride about on the mountain roads and find out where people live and call on them, trying to get acquainted with them, to 9 bring them comfort and cheer and to iag for our fellow Christians and workinvite them to the services. \\t every ers in the "Paradise of the Pacific." place I am warmly received, though HENRY PRATT absolutely unknown to JUDD. any at first.

A great help to my work has been the baseball games. The Mountaineers have taken a great deal of interest this summer in baseball and there are several teams. I attend all the games I possibly can and play with the Allanstand team. Men are easily approached when playing baseball and I have splendid chances for talking to the men while we are waiting to have our turn at the bat.

The reorganized association is less than six months old. Now that we are affiliated with the International Sunday School organization, it is but natural that we want to see our Island Sunday Schools progressing in every legitimate way. The great danger is that we be content with a mere organization, and expect that to do the work without any effort on our part. Already our Islands have too many letter head organizations. We can not afford to join their ranks. We need offer no apology for the work in which we are engaged. It is not only Chris T tian work, but it is the most hopeful of all the varied forms of service in the Master's Kingdom. Therefore time and thought spent in Sunday School work is not only well spent, but best spent. Hut no ordinary service will avail for much in the Sunday School. It must be the most earnest, thoughtful and enthusiastic work possible. Think of the tremendous odds to be Overcome in the individual schools. Half hearted officers, irregular teachers, unresponsive pupils all combine to make the successful Sunday School of today a herculean task. If this is true of the individual school which has the thoughtful support of denominational workers, what shall we say of the great mass of one hundred and more schools scattered over the Islands, when viewed as a composite whole? The Sunday School Association of Hawaii is established for the welfare of every school of every denomination. There can be no selfish interest here. Our corresponding secretaries have been appointed for work among the different nationalities. Our departmental secretaries have been gjven separate departments to plan for and to bring workable suggestions into our executive committee meeting. The corresponding secretaries will then project these suggestions into the schools with which they are vitally interested. It all �THE FRIEND sounds easy enough, but it means a greater devotion and a more careful planning of details than it has yet received. ()f course we can have the old regime without any effort at all, if that is satisfactory. But just now we are looking for hungry men and women— men and women who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness. We need more Cassiuses. of whom C;esar said: "Let me have men about me that are fat: Sleek headed men and such as sleep o' nights ; Yond' Cassias has a lean and hungry look ; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous." Therefore our Association would invite any suggestions whatsoever, from any source. The executive committee meets once a month. We want something more to do than to plan for the annual convention in May. This, to be sure, is the crux of the year's work, but •t is not the whole thing. The object of the annual Sunday School collection to be received Novem- ber 25th from every Sunday School in the Islands, does not seem to be thoroughly understood. Heretofore the Hawaiian Sunday Schools have been taxed $2.00 per school to pay for the entertainment given the visiting delegates to the annual convention. This year the first $2.00 in every Hawaiian Sunday School collection will go for the same purpose. All over this amount from the Hawaiian schools and the entire sum from all other schools, who do not entertain their delegates, will go towards the work of the Sunday School Association of Hawaii. "What is this work?" has been asked. There are some running expenses which must be met monthly by the executive committee —writing material, postage and general literature on Sunday School work must be bought and distributed. But these items of expense are small. Someday in the not far future, we hope to have a trained Sunday School worker giving a large part of, or his whole time to the development of the Sunday Schools of the Islands. We think a part of such a man's salary could be found on the mainland. But if it were necessary for us to supplement it here, it will be well for us to be ready to do so. Then again we arc in correspondence with Mr. Marion Lawranee, the general secretary of the International Sunday School Association, and the greatest Sunday School expert living today, in regard to his being present with us next May in Ho- nohilu at our annual convention. Mr. Lawrance may be compelled to be pres-nt at the World's convention in Koine If possible he is veryat that time. anxious to be with us. He has suggested the name of Rev. W. C. Merritt, of Tacoma, Washington, the secretary Of the Sunday Schools of the Northwest. Mr. Merritt is highly recoinmended by all who have heard him and he also knows Island conditions, as he was President of < )ahu College for eight years. He is now giving all of his time to the Sunday School movement and is an expert on this subject. Now if we could have either one of these men with us, we would be very fortunate. To get such a man we ought to pay at least half of his expenses, 'the annual collections of our Island Sunday Schools could go to no better purpose. Remember the date for the collection, November 25th in every Sunday School, and send the money at once to (i. P.

Many of us are agreed that for the with all present, the L'niform their short comings are the best thing for the great majority of our Island schools. Apropos of this subject, the Central Union Bible School has adopted an advanced course of study for its Young Men's and Young Ladies' Bible Classes. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Super, the new Y. M. C. A. secretary and his wife, are the teachers of these two classes. The course of study will be Prof. Hosworth's "Life of Christ." This book has been widely and very acceptably studied in Y. M. C. A.'s and in Bible Classes throughout the mainland. With the openiag of the new school year, new life and vigor have come into Central Union Sunday School.

The Christian Endesvorers have settled into a steady, earnest society, and give evidence of encouraging growth individually ami collectively. A change has just been made in the superintcndencv of the Sabbath School. Miss Caroline Potter, who for over a year and a half has given so freely of her time and thought to this work, is no longer able to do so. The Sabbath School loses an efficient worker ami will long remember her efforts here and never lose their imprint. Mr. Clark, a teacher in the Hilo High School, has consented to put his shoulder to the wheel and has already entered upon his duties as superintendent. Though Mr. Clark has been with us at Hilo for a comparatively short tune, he has been recognized by all as a man who is not ashamed to work for the Master, but who rather counts it honor to be in the vanguard of His army. The Sabbath School therefore looks forward to a season of growth and uplift under his direction. C. M. !•'.. THE FRIEND. It was also recommended in addition that the members of the Association, in their own local districts, should interview the candidates and secure an expression of intention in regard to this important question, which statement should be publicly proclaimed in the Churches in advance of election. There was some vigorous dissent from the platform of the League, on the ground that it was licensing and therefore recognizing, and participating in a nefarious anil criminal business, but the general feeling was that whatever could be done in the way of reducing or limiting the evil ought certainly to be done. Another matter which elicited considerable interest was that of "The Children of the Association." It has been customary to have R number of these "children" under the charge of the Association being trained and educated inestimably for the Ministry. These "Children" of whom there were eight or ten and who in point of fact were some of them aged men, were some of them notoriously unlit for the position. A committee was appointed to inquire into their standing. It was found that no one of them had now, or ever had had, or were likely to have, the ministry in view. In view of this condition of things the committee rec- a committee was appointed to confer and cooperate with the churches in regard to keeping up the standards and quality of the Deacons; a committee to assist in the organization of a Chinese Church at Waimea; a committee to arrange the relations of the Waimea and Hanapcpc Churches; a ministers' widows fund was established for the island; the Chinese worker at Waimea, Mr. Yee Kue, was examined and licensed to preach for a year, etc. Altogether it was an interesting and profitable session.

The fund for the erection of a chapel at Kalihikai, a mission station of the Hanalei Church, is steadily growing. They will soon he in a position to build. J. M. L. AN OLD FRIEND. The following is from a recent letR. \Y. Andrews, by Rev. Frank Thompson, Seamen's Chaplain at Valparaiso, Chile, formerly well known and appreciated as pastor of the Hilo Foreign Church, and also in Honolulu, where he preached to the Bethel and Fort Street Churches. Mr. Thompson while a youth learned the art of steel plate engraving in NewYork city; after two years of that work, the doctor ordered a cessation of it on account of his eyes, and recommended a sea voyage. So he shipped before the mast on a whaler, and sailed, either then or later, under the well known Capl. Tom Spencer, who, many years after, in Hilo, would sometimes attend chinch to hear bis "boy" preach. Mr. Thompson's further education was at Williams College and a Theological Seminary; then, commissioned by the Seamen's Friend Society, he came to Hilo, and there lived, 1870-1874. His two daughters were born there, heeling the need of library help in his studies, he removed to Connecticut, and was successively pastor over two parishes, 1875-1883. He was again sent out by the A. S. F. Society, in 1884, to Valparaiso, and there he has staid and labored till now, though he admits that in some matters by which civilization is gauged, that country is 500 years behind Hawaii: Valparaiso, Chile, S. A., Casilla 370, ter to Sept. 20, 1900. * * * We have bad a most awful experience from the earthquake and the subsequent lires. The official reports put the list-of killed at twentylive hundred: the actual number will never be known, as many were crushed in the ruins and afterwards burned up. The injured are about eighteen thousand, and seventy to eighty thousand people are without homes, living in tents, shells or camps in the open places or on the hillsides. One-half of the city is wiped out; all the churches are either already down or will have to be taken down. The line public buildings are all in ruins. The water pipes, gas pipes and sewers are broken up; the railroads to and from the city are all disabled by landslides, broken bridges and caved-in tunnels. The cemeteries with their tombs, graves and monuments arc all burst up ; the remains of the dead were scattered about; hundreds of bodies have been gathered up and re-interred. All this happened in three or four minutes. The city was in total darkness save in the first instance the terrible lightning and electric lights in the heavens, which illuminated everything with a painful brilliancy, ami afterwards the glow of the burning ruins gave light enough for four days and nights. My first thought was that the day of judgment has come. My family all are safe and uninjured. M\ oldest daughter, Carrie, with her husband, have been in Scotland for a year, and were well out of this trouble. Our second daughter, Dora, babe and husband escaped all personal harm, as Mrs. Thompson and myself did. Kindly remember me to all old friends. * * * Yours faithfully, FRANK THOMPSON. KONA HAPPENINGS. Since the last letter to the "Friend" the Japanese have held two dedications near us, one of a combination Buddhist temple ami school and one of an independent school. The Buddhist priest, my next-door neighbor, courteously showed me over his building, when I called, with its school-room and shrine containing a picture of Buddha and other paraphernalia. The independent school was organized in a cottage, but on November 3, the Japanese Kmperor's birthday, with a few other white people, we were invited to the dedication of a good new building. At this dedication a number of brief addresses were given, among them one by our new evangelist. Mr. Okamura. It was explained to us that although most of those present were Buddhists, yet they believed that education should be independent of religion and the teacher and scholars might believe anything they saw lit. The teacher appeared progressive, playing the organ for singing and conducting affairs in a dignified manner. We remained for lunch, and enjoyed our reception. There are now three of these independent schools against one Buddhist school and three temples. The pupils in the Buddhist school only equal in number those in its neighboring independent school. The northern Japanese school-house has just been granted us for Christian 13 services on Sunday in Fnglish, and one of our best young men will open Sunday School at once. This building is near a government school building with eighty pupils, but several miles from any church. We appreciate this courtesy from the Japanese very much, and are hopeful of the new work here among this people. Mr. Okamura is entering into his work with an excellent spirit, calling widely and holding services for a dozen "listeners." Our Holualoa parsonage has been rented for a time to the resuscitated plantation. A small private school is now in session forenoons in our social ball, which we hope may enlarge into greater things in the future. President Home of the Kamehameha Schools encouraged us by his presence and an address at church the last of October, in the course of his calls around Hawaii upon those interested in Kamehameha. At the Kona Orphanage a new school building and cottage add much to the efficiency of this useful institution, and under Rev. Mr. Pier matters seem to be running very smoothly. Our last "Workers' Conference" only brought sixteen together, but these represented five pure nationalities, and we had an enthusiastic and interesting day. with no interpreting necessary. roar have joined Central Kona Church on confession and three by letter at the last two communions.

Few men of equal fitness for the task he has essayed in this volume could be found in the United States. He has made a notable book for wide reading. The treatment of the theme is designed to be not exhaustive but suggestive. Its purpose is to introduce to the everyday reader in the West the spirit which animates the man of the East. It is a timely book and should be read by every up-to-date American, especially by those who cherish sentiments of antipathy of Asiatics. The ordinary American density- of ignorance concerning Asia is colossal. If it were not, our Nation never could continue to treat the people of the Far East as she does. The chief value of this book is its freedom from argument. It is not polemical. It is brimful of facts. Its purpose is to let the light shine and this end is realized as far as this is possible of accomplishment in a volume of 308 large type pages. The ground which it covers embraces India, China and Japan. While the work is well done in the case of each section, naturally that which deals with Japan is easily the best. Kipling's fine lines serve as the animating theme of the entire work: "Oh East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat. But there is neither East, nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth." It is a good healthy book, true and informing. We commend it especially to readers in Hawaii and on the Pacific Coast. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York City.) "The Hope of Immortality," by Rev. C. F. Dole.
