The season of the year is at hand when Christian Churches the world over, with ever increasing unanimity as time passes, focus their activities upon the central verity of religion—the undying life of God in the human soul. The everliving God was regnant in Jesus, therefore death had no power over hjjun. That same God breathes in the heart of every man and if he will enthrone Him, life everlasting is his surest posIt is well that fashionable session. society should pause in its round of pleasures, that the daily call to worship should be heard above the din of conflicting business interests, that men should attend to the still small voice within them and that every possible means should be used to open their ears to the resurrection duct sung by Nature and her Lord Christ. For though Lent is supposed to concern itself much with the sufferings of the Savior, Easter glory shines through it all. We are glad to see that in Honolulu this solemn joyous season is not suffered to be the priceless possession of one or two churches but is claimed by all and used by all. Fortunately the forty days are to be ushered in by a series of services under Rev, Howard Agnew Johnston, D.

Primarily he is a teacher of the New Testament, and until within a very few years he has been comparatively unknown beyond a small circle. Like the leaven in our Lord's parable, however, his influence has spread quietly and imperceptibly throughout the entire Union until now he is known everywhere in the student world It is characteristic of the wideawakeneas of Japan that four years ago a movement was inaugurated there to get Dr. Bosworth to lecture in the Empire, Japanese Christian No. 2 Bingham, of the pioneer band of missionaries. Several other mission families occupied it. Finally it passed into the bands of the Cooke family. As a result of the discussion at the last meeting of the Cousins Society. Mr. C. M.

As the writer viewerl it, the latter part of January, the lake was last filling up tlii' pit, and was in constant and terrific activity. From a glowing bole at one side, the burning flow came pouring out covering the black surface of the pit with golden fire. This in turn would soon become blackened, only again to break and crack, allowing the molten fiery rock to spread its quilt of gold. From the volcano house, three miles, where every comfort is given the traveler, the bright glow can be plainly seen. The fountains of liquid fire, and bright flowing streams of burning lava, brighten the whole heavens, so that one can read at midnight by the light of this great lake of fire, two blackened cones tower up near the crater's edge, as mighty guardians of this nature's great wonder house. This How in I lalciuaumau is of "pahochoc," or more molten lava, than the "aa" (low. which has been pushing its way down the mountain slopes of Mauna Loa.

A powerful reason for this contention is the existence of the great Mohokea volcano, long quiescent, only ten miles LOOKING INTO HALEMAUMAU east of I'mi Keokeo, and exactly twenty miles south of Mokuaweoweo.

Having had no know 1 edge of what snow-flakes look like before, 1 thought that they were cotton or wool swept out of factories. I stood for awhile and looked at them until more came and I ran into the building and inquired. The hoys came laughing at me and said that they were sriowflakes. In a short time the air was filled with the beautiful flakes. My notion of the snow was something like that which I saw in ice factories, that is frozen moisture on the ground. The story was repeated at the school of pedagogy and the girls laughed at me and came after me with snowballs. I could not make a snowball then because the snow was too cold for me. So they got the best of rue the whole afternoon. It was then necessary for me to keep away from them as much as possible. Two days ago we had the pleasure of seeing the most beautiful sight of snow fall. The students here informed me of the fact that nothing of its kind was noticed here before. It was absolutely charming. The trees were beautifully arrayed with snow and as I passed along the Asylum street that evening the trees looked as if they were overlaid with polished silver. Oh, if the world wiil be as white as that snow and the hearts of men be arrayed with purity as those trees were how much more joy would we have in the presence of the Creator of all these things. I only wish I knew the English well enough to he able to describe to you fully the effect upon me of that most magnificent sight. It is a thing that will never disappear from my memory and to my dying day I hope I shall see more of that purity and brightness. Yes, I hear occasionally from Dr. Scudder.

It is as follows: "A traveller went to the Sandwich Is- lands, and attended a native church. Recoming interested, he got into conversation with a lady, who told him that she had come out to marry a missionary, but when she reached the Islands, the young man had been killed and eaten by the savages. She remained to work, and told the traveller, that the native preacher in the pulpit that day was the chief who had killed ami feasted on her betrothed!" "fhe story sounded all right."

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. 11 I he communication from your correspondent on Maui prompts me to give my experience. five or six years ago I came to the conclusion thai a local library in Lihue ought to lie a good thing in spite of the fact that it was a small scattered community and many people already had more than they could read in the way of magazines and other periodicals. No yiui one else, so far as I know, agreed with me. or at any rale was at all enthusiastic in approval. So that means for the purpose were not readily forthcoming. However, I secured four or five generous patrons who became life members by paying $10.00 each, and one of them fitted up suitable cases in the Sunday School room of the new church. With this start I ordered the first installment of hooks from New York, and when they came varnished them to protect them from insects and wear and tc>ar. Annual membership I fixed at $1.00 a year —purposely very low. Many libraries, in my opinion, buy a valuable lot of books and then lock them up by too high a membership fee. As I expected, only more so, scarcely anybody patronized my library, even when, by various means I had considerably increased the number of books. In spite of low membership fees the library was lying idle. I was driven to a radical new departure. I'.y way of experiment I undertook to deliver the books to members. Every two weeks the boy went round and took orders and then promptly delivered the There is no thought of abandoning the Music Festival. Instead of coining every year it is likely to become a biennial institution. 'I he reason for this lies in the amount of work required of the choruses which is burdensome in view of the amount of regular school work. Then I too, there is planned something more ambitious than the desultory choruses hitherto rendered. With more time to practice a cantata having musical worth as well as melody could be rendered as well as not. There has been a committee appointed by the schools interested which comprises the leaders in the music work of the city and this committee will go about choosing a suitable work to engage the attention of the choruses at the beginning of the nexf school year, thus allowing for several months more practice than books. fhis resulted in the immediate usual, 'fhe festival will probably take extension of the usefulness of the library, place some time in May of 1908, and the people took books regularly, and read soloists may be secured from the main- them faithfully, who would never in the land.

M. LYDGATE. Not in many years has there been so stormy a season as that in which 10X36 went out and 1007 came in. For two successive Sundays at Lihue it was impossible to have any services, 'fhe rain fell in torrents and the roads were almost impassable, 'fhe same was true of Koloa and other parts of the island. 'fhe Sunday School exhibitions arranged for Hanapepe and Koolau for the first Sunday of January were postponed. Considering the bad weather it is fortunate that the week of prayer was changed to Easter. A special session of the "Ministers' School" was held at Lihue on January 11, and was fairly well attended in spite of the bad roads and a steady torrent of rain. Mrs. J. M.

There was no money ever seen here at that time. All I had went to buy the necessary lumber, glass, etc., for the building. The circulating medium was brown cotton. \Yc raised but small amounts of cloth at any one time, with which to purchase lumber, a few hundred feet at a time, and used that up whilst raising more cloth for another supply. ( iccasionally, however, some friend would send a gift of a piece of brown cotton, and this I was accustomed to divide with Raku. Ilenevei asked for anything in the vvav of pay. He was one of the noblest souls that ever trod the earthly footstool. In this way we had got four-fifths of the floor laid and nearly one-half the house ceiled on sides and overhead, when a terrible Kona (southwest wind) leveled the building with the ground. '"It was a sad day for us all. The natives had made rough settees at a great cost of labor, and kept the floor filled as fast as we laid it. Rut now all was destroyed.

Each land had its lima (overseer). The stones were * gathered from neighboring ravines and brought on men's shoulders to the site. The lime was made from hunches of coral procured by divers in three to five fathoms of water for miles along the coast, and carried on the shoulders of the people to the church site. And the wood was brought in the same way, from eight to ten miles mania. A fathom pile of coial required the same measure of wood for burning. Then came sand— hundreds of barrels. It was brought by women and children from all along the coast, from Kawaihae around to Pololu, in bits of kapa. small calabashes, and small lanliala bags, from wherever it could he scraped up along the shore.
