She was one of those quiet forces to which in vision Jesus alluded when He said "the kingdom of heaven cometh not with observation." Hawaii is rich in having held this life so long. For she had many of the qualities which Jesus predicted <>f the men of the New ( Irdor. During all the years of its existence the Hawaiian iioard has had no firmer friend. Again and again when some far-reaching measure baited for lack of funds, a quiet message has reached the rooms, and with a "Thank Cod" the An new movement has been pushed. old Hebrew poet in singing the praises of the Ideal Mother chanted, "Her children rise up, and call her blessed." It is the picture of the power which the rare woman has of so impressing her nobility upon her children that the loftiness of their own lives shall best speak out her virtues. Mrs. Castle was a mother of this type, and Honolulu today is experiencing the blessing of being the home of sons and daughters whose public spirit, unselfish service and generous giving form the kind of a benediction dearest to the heart of this sainted woman. Toward Another Goal. Our last annual report "That They Go Forward" devoted its ninth page to making its wants known. A number of these have been quietly supplied in a manner not only to evoke the deepest gratitude, but also to astonish us with its rebuke to lack of faith. Among these "Incitements to Prayer" were two items asking for $250,000 endowment for the Mid-Pacific Institute and $100,000 for the erection of dormitories. The former of these is still out of sight, but Mrs. S. C. Allen has given $5,000 towards the school site and Mrs. J. B. Atherton has contributed $35,000 towards a dormitory for Kawaiahao as a memorial of her husband, late President of the Hawaiian Board. Already plans are being discussed and building operations will soon be under way. Just whence the remaining $65,000 are to come is a conumdrum, but we believe it will be forthcoming in due sea- �4 son. Meantime the story of the future our crowning educational institution is of no little interest. One year ago the Hawaiian Hoard decided to purchase the land of Kapahufu, embracing some 300 acres. It was a princely domain and would have constituted the noblest school site in the Islands. But difficulties over details, coupled with the conviction that the Mid-I'aeific Institute could scarcely hope for funds sufficient to develop all the possibilities of such a commanding location, led to a reconsideration of the decision to secure this property. Every other possible location in and about Honolulu was most patiently canvassed. Finally all were narrowed down to a site in beautiful Manna Valley, adjoining College Hills. Here some 7,~ acres of undulating land suitable for the varied needs of the school, and affording a natural division for the boys and girls departments, were found and promptly purchased by the Board. There is a fine spring of water on the premises, which should yield at least 100,000 gallons per day. The two entrances are but a block from the College Hills electric line. Inspiring views of mountain and sea are commanded from the higher points. The school will have room for its agricultural and dairy features, in addition to ample playgrounds. Through the generous cooperation of the Castle Instate it was possible for the Hoard to acquire this property by cash purchase. The Estate offered to buy the land upon which Kawaiahao now stands in order to add it to the grounds of the Castle Home. This will tend to preserve to all time the integrity of Honolulu's missionary center. The sum derived by the Hoard from this deal, together with the $18,000 realized from the sale last year of the North Pacific Missionary Institute grounds to the Methodist Church and Mrs. Allen's gift, a little mure than covered the purchase price of the new school site. The friends of the Board are singing hallelujah over this large forward step towards the consummation of their plan for a great international Christian institute of learning in the strategic center of the Pacific World site of this The Bosworth Campaign. I.ike its central figure, it was a quiet movement devoid of all advertising outside of a simple postal card invitation sent to one thousand men and the usual press notices.

Representative Rawlins, chairman of this committee, has shown considerable public spirit in expediting business and has merited public approbation therefor. But, unfortunately, he is credited with the determination to let the local option bill sleep until the general liquor law shall have been enacted, when the former will be killed, as it was two years ago, with the cry that the general bill provides for local option. The general bill now in the Senate does repeat the provision in the present law for local petition. Hut this is the very antithesis of local option. Local petition is both a very expensive It is and very impossible measure. thoroughly un-American, as it denies the privilege of testing at the ballotbox the question of liquor selling. The temperance forces should never yield 10 this thoroughly unjust way of shelving the liquor issue. There is a very large public demand throughout the Territory for local option. If a bill to provide for it were to be submitted to popular vote it would undoubtedly be passed. The Legislature ought to face the question fairly and Mr. Rawlins has no right to smother the measure in The Civic Federation at its annual meeting appointed a com mittee of nine to wait upon Mr. Rawlins and endeavor to secure from him a promise to have his committee act on this bill at an early day. committee. Territorial Public Library. Following the suggestion of Governor Carter's message. Representative Hughes introduced into the House a bill to provide for a public library to be known as the Hawaiian Library. The bill calls for the appointment of gives them i Hoard of Trustees and wide powers to create and maintain a public library and to extend its privileges to all persons in the Territory, especially to all pupils in public and private schools. This bill is likely to pass both houses. Simultaneously with this an attempt was made to secure from the House the inclusion in the appropriation bill of an item setting apart $5000 per year for two years for This item was library purposes. thrown out by the House under the general misapprehension that the library would benefit Honolulu alone. Careful enlightenment of opposing members has followed and the present likelihood is that in the Senate the appropriation will be voted and that subsequently the House in conference committee will acquiesce. If this be done the way will be clear to organize �6 a library that shall be a credit to the Territory. Inasmuch as the trustees are given power to fnake agreement with any other Library Board, it is possible that the existing Honolulu Library may be drawn into the scheme.

The noble way in which Rev. Mr. Bazata of Paia is throwing himself heart and soul into the work of all the Churches is a great joy. lie puts all the ardor of a champion polo and tennis player into this larger endeavor, and as a consequence is endearing himself to all. One of the most effective sessions of the Association was that in which. after reading the report of Paia Foreign Church, he called upon the pastors to ially to the support of Maunaolu. This appeal set the ball rolling, and one after another Messrs. Dodge, Kalino and Scudder took a hand in the sport until the enthusiasm of the pastors over NEW CHURCH AT KAHULUI ject they wish to aid. Of course, all this has stirred the enmity of some who battened on the loose system of other days, but the results evidenced in repaired Churches, promptly-paid salaries, comfortable parsonages, a happier and more effective ministry, are so overwhelming that the few grumblers have no audience. The missionary enthusiasm of the Christians in consequence is rising higher and higher. Maui will probably be entitled to a Corporate Membership in the American Board this year, or the next at the farthest, as a direct result of its determination to have every Church give something annually to foreign missions. Collections to the Hawaiian Board are increasing in equal ratio. The Fndeavor Societies decided at the recent meeting to set apart the last Sunday in April in wdiich to make an offering to the Hawaiian and Amer- consecrated in baptism and the formal builder, Mr. Moody, handed the keys of the completed edifice to Mr. Bald- win, who with brief, appropriate words transferred them to the pastor. Then the audience rose while Mr. Dodge led his people in a beautiful responsive service of dedication, Mr. Bazata offering the consecrating prayer and ail joining in the hymn. The first collection was then taken in the new edifice and was set apart by prayer for the work of the Hawaiian Board. Next followed the sermon by Mr. Scuddcr and the singing of "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth," by Miss Ormcrod, with the closing devotions. The occasion was most inspiring from begin- ning to end. The Church building consists of a main audience chamber with connecting Sabbath school and minister's rooms. The Ladies' Auxildedicatory exercises were opened. The �iary of Kahului raised over $700 to provide the seats, pulpit equipment and furniture for the pastor's study. Thus equipped. Air.

PLATCEHOTRIGFNHE MOON—WAS THEPACIFIC IT PICKERING'T OCEAN? S HEORY. (ByB ES. ishop.) It may be remembered that Hawaii was visited in 11,105 by Prof. \Y. 11. Pickering, who has made a specialty of subjects relating to the moon. He recently published an article embodying his observations of Hawaiian volcanoes, comparing them with craters observed in the moon. Now Dr. Pickering has just issued a later pamphlet Upon "The Place of Origin of the Moon." This has especial interest for dwellers in Hawaii, because he assigns the location of the moon's origin to the present area of the Pacific Ocean. He supports• this theory by strong considerations. A plausible case seems to be made out for it. the substance of which it is now sought to present to the Hawaiian public. It may be observed at the outset that we of Hawaii need not apprehend therefrom any imputation of lunatic tendencies, because all the lima element is supposed to have been withdrawn from the Pacific, leaving only what is sane. The opening sentences are as follows: �THE FRIEND. 8 "lii 187(1 Professor George H. Darwin propounded the view that the moon formerly formed a part of the earth. That it was originally much nearer to the earth than it is at present, and is slowly receding from us, was dearly shown by bis equations. After considerable discussion, his conclusions have been accepted by the great majority of astronomers, although many of the geologists do not view them with favor." It is conceived that the fission or disruption of the moon from the earth took place after the planet had condensed to substantially its present solidity and density. In a more expanded condition it would have lacked the high speed of rotation calculated by Darwin, about four hours, and with it lacked the centrifugal force necessary to Ming off the satellite from its pro* tubcrant equatorial region. At that stage of the earth, as now, a solid crust would already have formed upon the surface of the very ellipsoidal globe, while the interior would have been in a viscid or liquid condition, as now. except as solidified by 'I lie temperature of the pressure. crust would have been, though not incandescent, too high for water to rest upon its surface. "The specific gravity of the earth as a whole is 5.0. That of the surface material ranges in general between 2.2 and .2, with an average of 2.7. The specific gravity of the moon is 3.4. This indicates clearly that the moon is composed of material scraped off from the outer surface of the earth, rather than of matter obtained from a considerable depth. At the same time, the specific gravity 3.4 indicates that the layer of material removed bad an appreciable thickness." The matter tiling off as moon therefore included not merely crust, but a very much larger portion taken from considerable depths, where the substance was much heavier. The mass torn off now forming the moon while of vast area on the surface, must have been even hundreds of miles in depth. It is evident that so large a body torn out of the crust and interior of our globe, must have left a very large and noticeable scar, even after the viscid interior had swelled itself up to fill the gap made, and to replace the absent crust, and that new crust being formed fr.im material taken from denser strata, would itself be above the average density of the other portions of the earth's surface. Pickering finds the expected scar the vastly preponderant ocean-area the Pacific, He conceives that now r)r. prior to the disruption of the moon, the present great Inequalities of altitude m the earth's crust did not exist. There were then no vast continual elevations nor immense oceanic depressions, as now. These all were a result of the great catastrophe which tore out a lartje portion of the earth's crust and underlying interior. Hut for this abnormal catastrophe, nearly all of our globe's surface would have been covered by uniform ocean, and the land area have been extremely limited. What the author conceives to have ensued upon the great disruption may be stated somewhat as follows: The moon's mass was torn out of that side of our globe now occupied by the Torrid /one of the Pacific Ocean. To fill and even up the vast gap created, immense drafts were made not only upon the viscid interior, but upon the adiacent portions of the solid crust which floated as it were upon the semi-liquid interior. The largest draft upon the crust was from the eastward. That immense section of crust constituting the present continents of North and South \merica was broken away from the great eastern mass and drawn westward three thousand miles to its present position, leaving the vast depression now occupied by the Atlantic t )cean. In support of this contributory theory of the formation of the Atlantic Ocean, the author furnishes a diagram (Fig. 4) which shows the peculiar correspondence of outline between the borders of the two continents, as if one had separated from the other: notably the correspondence of Cape St. Rogue to the Culf of Guinea. The author also conjectures that large drafts were made from the crust occupying the area of the Indian Ocean, whence came the Australian and the Antarctic continents. An argument of considerable apparent value is drawn from the higher specific gravity found in the Hawaiian mountain bases. The late F. D. Preston reported as follows: "It appears that the lower half of Mauna Kea is of a very much greater density than the upper. The former gives a value of 3.7 and the latter of 2.1." Pickering observes, "The upper half is clearly due to matter, chiefly scoria, which has been expelled from the various vents. The lower half is probably due to the slow uplifting of the former ocean bed." The argument is that the bed of the Pacific is evidently composed of heavier material than the rest of the earth's crust. It must therefore have been of later formation, from the heav- ier substances of the deeper interior. Altogether, this speculation of Prolessor Pickering possesses a high plausibility and, one inclines to believe, a permanent value. It will add interest to students of physical geography. GOSPEL LEAVEN IN CHINA. Rev. !•:. W. Thwing. every hand are reports of reform and progress in China. Current magazines are full of articles telling of great changes taking place in that vast empire. There is talk of Chinas new army, of her young men studying in the universities of Europe and America, of her new railroads and rapidlydeveloping commerce and of the possibilities of her securing new laws and a ()n constitutional government. There is to be a new China, a new Asia a new civilization is pervading the whole Orient. Will this new life and thought that is springing up in Eastern Asia l)i' a blessing to China and to the world, or will it bring strife and bloodshed and sorrow? Only as the roots of this growing reform and new national life are planted deep in truth and righteousness can one look for a future of peace and true prosperity in this land of China. All that is best in the present life and history and experience of the strong nations of the earth today has sprung up and grown out of the teachings of Christianity. So in China, as Christ is known by her people, and His teachings are incorporated into her new life, so she will become strong and powerful and a great and happy nation. And what of the advance of Christianity and the progress of the Gospel in China today? This leaven is at work and spreading everywhere. Since the Boxer uprising of six years ago, in which so many Churches were destroyed and many Christians lost their lives, there has been a wonderful rebuilding. Throughout the land larger Churches and finer mission schools have being going up. Never in th* hundred years of Protestant mission work have there been such great crowds gathering to hear the Gospel preached. Mission stations are now to be found nearly everywhere. I" many parts of China one can hardly travel a day's journey without finding a chapel or a mission school. Speaking of the Can ton province, a recent writer savs "There are Christian chapels and Christian societies to be met with everywhere.

To tell who Jesus Christ is, is not to describe in metaphysical terms His relation to (iod and man, for this is impossible until we have proceeded further in the solution of the unsolved problem of personality, certainly until a man can answer the question, ''who inn I,' in metaphysical terms. \ur can we tell who Jesus Christ is by the applicati fa title, such, for instance, as "the Boa id' oinl." We can do it only by studying the personal consciousness of Jesus and the corroboration His consciousness finds in the effect He has produced upon the life of the world. The principal features in the personal consciousness of Jesus were first a profound interest in men as men because of their tan liiimitiiitii. J'oor people, children, outcasts, crowds made up of ordinary men and women He held for Him a strange fascination. called His disciples, who were for the most pari plain people, His friends—"No longer do 1 call you servants, but I have called you friends." Is there anything in the history of the world since Jesus which stands over against this feature in His personal consciousness as its corroboration1 To ask the question is to answer it. The force of this virile friendliness radiated from Jesus through the ever widening circle of His associates until it has I cited the globe. Today it persists all over the world as one of the great characteristics of modern life as contrasted with that of ancient times. Some sense of this interest in men as men is found even in wide circles outsi.le the t 'hurcli. A seconii characteristic in Jesus' personal consciousness was that tie expected to continue associating with men on earth after He hid passed out of sight. He said that when ever two of them should meet in their friendship for Mini He would make a third. One of His last Cartage was to promise that in all their travels to make Him known to cithers He would le witli them. This seems to have keen the essential element in the resurrection which lie expected, "I go aw;iv. and I come unto you." Such love as He felt for mm would not |crmit Hint to stay away from them. The corroboration of this expectation of Jesus has found one of the characteristic features of the Christian faith. Kver since His resurrection the Christian has believed himself to be in personal association with the founder of his faith. He has found himself "Strong Son of God, Immortal Love, Whom we that have not seen by face Hy faith and faith alone embrace." While Whittier sings— '' towards the Sistine iladonna reveals his artistic nature. If he views that masterpiece with no interest, he is artistically defective, the picture judges him. Wichard Watson (iiliier's Heathen in the Year M A.

The second feature is His sense of being Sble to express (bid's forgiving love. Men now as weII as in every preceding genera tion since He walked in unliloo. only in ever enlarging numbers, find in coining to Him the peace of forgiveness. A third characteristic is His sense of being able to express Cod's judgment on sin. Both forgiving ami judging involve (a) the power of insight into the soul's life and (b) the power to feel and express God's attitude towards what is seen in the soul. Men find Jesus still judging their deeds, that is, they find themselves asking what Jesus would do i:i their places. His standards of conduct are crowding upon them. A fourth striking feature is His sense of leing able to judge men by their attitude towards Himself since He is a revelation of Cod. No less Impressive is the corroboration of this consciousness. For men recognize today that the test of a man's character is his attitude towards the character of Jesus Christ, not nceeesarly towards the Christ of Theology, but of the Gos'Hs. If he does not find his heart moving out wjfh interest in Him. Lastly, Jesus felt able to bind men into a great world brotherhood of the endless life. And lo! today we find this actually taking place. The great British Christian leader, Dr. Fairbairn, in his "Studies in the Life of JeSUS Christ," has snnimnri/cil the effects produced by Jesus upon the life of the world the corroboration in history jf His consciousness—as follows: "Jesus Christ is the most powerful spiritual force that ever operated for good on and in humanity. He is today what he has been for centuries, an object of reverence and love to the good, the cause of remorse and change, penitence and hope to the bad; of moral strength to the morally weak, of inspiration to the despondent, consolation to the desolate and cheer to the dying. He has created the typical virtues and moral ambitions of civilized man; has been to the benevolent a motive to benevolence, to the selfish a persuasion to self forgetful obedience; and has become the living ideal that has steadied and raised, awed and guided youth, nraced and enobled manhood, mellowed and beautified age. In Him the age* have seen the manifest God, the Fternal living in time, the Infinite within the limits of humanity; and their faith has glorified His mfferings into a sacrifice by the Creator for .... �THE FRIEND. the creature, His death into an atonement for human sin." What shall our attitude be towards this great double fact of personal consciousness and corroboration? 1. It is inconceivable that .lesr.s' personal consciousness should be a fraud; for the pure ethical system and the mighty redemptive force that have come from him forbid th s - supposition. 2. He was not mistaken. To be mistaken in these fundamental points means to be mentally unbalanced. A pure ethical syst -in and a great redemptive force cannot come from such 1 source. 3. He is true and trustworthy, Christ is such a revelation of Goil in terms of human life, struggle, victory, death and resurrection glory as warrants us in yielding to Him the control of our lives. When this is done the personal demonstration is made. We find out in experience who .lesus is. His words, "I will manifest myself unto you" prove themselves in our lives. .lesus is patient with the feeble beginnings of faith. You remember how the brigand on the cross moved by the quiet bearing ot .lesus turned to Him and with a kind oi grim humor said, ".lesus, rcmenil er me when you come into your kingdom." .lesus dc teeted the germ of faith and met the man at once with the pledge, "Today you shall le with me in Paradise." The earnest soul groping in the dark after God makes the deepest demands upon the hoart of Jesus. Patiently He will lead him into the light. 11. HOW JhSI'S TEACHM MEN TO FIND god. The greatest fact in the history of man is the consciousness of .lesus Christ. The fundamental anil ition of .lesus Christ was to stare with men his personal religious experience of the Father. He wished to share his deep peace, his profound joy, his mission and his works with men. It seems as though .lesus came to the laboratory of his own person I experience and urged upon men to seek and find as he did. How to proceed in thus experimenting to find God in one's laboratory .lesus taught with clearness. First Jesus expected men to find the Rather in experience with Himself as His disciples. He said "No man cometh to the Father except through me." There is no arbitrary spirit in this word. It is as though a Swiss guide should happen upon a lost traveler in the Alps and say, "I will lead you." .lesus also urged men to believe in (bid. What is the content of this expression 'believe?' .lesus means by it that a man shall on sufficient evidence take as his working theory of life, that God is a Heavenly Father present with him, ami shall act on this theory. That is what every scientist does in his laboratory work. He takes a theory on suffi cient evidence and puts it to the test by experiment until he builds up an experience of its validity. To believe in God as a Father is to act like a son and thus put the theory of His fatherhood to the test of experiment. Again, .lesus taught men to act as if there were a Heavenly Father by beginning to pray. Fdison says to the student who has as his working hypothesis the theory of (dec trie, force, "Go into the laboratory and try this experiment." Jesus did the same with regard to the theory of the Father: "Enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, and pray." Prayer is no form of words but a reaching out of a man's spirit to the great spirit of the Heavenly Father. Jesus always insisted that if a man be- 11 lieves in God he must obey. For a man to prayer is wanting nothing, but to be with act as a Son, to put the theory of FatherGod. Yet in the teaching of Jesus prayer inhood to the test of experiment means to do what he thinks his Father wishes him to do. cludes asking for good things.

If the thing prayed for is in His plan, it will happen. If it is not in God's plan it will not happen. But this when scrutinized proves absurd.

Some years ago the news was flashed over tl il.lc that two young Englishmen had discovered a fragment of piipyus in Egypt which contained five or six mutilated sentences, purporting to have 1 ecu uttered by .loses and mole or h s< different from any other known word of His. Instantly the attention of the world was feeunsed upon those two scholars and their tiny find, for the unearthing of a new saying of Jesus was of more absorbing interest to mankind than any other international event. Men today are centering their thought and study more and more upon this carpenter of whose words so few were left that one can read them all, I Suppose, in the space of a single hour. Central among them is the address that goes by (he name of the Sermon on the Mount. It is not so much a sermon as a lecture —a lecture on the New Order which Jesus announced He had come to institute. his trade. I'leces ot furniture made wit.i faithful care, houses which lie had built with holiest toil Had suggested to Him many ot His beautiful ideas as He ..ad wrought over them. A third impression wdiicn the student gains is the sense of autnoritative importance wita which Jesus Himself regarded these wolds, bin remember the paragraph which closes the lecture. In His intense moments Jesus was wont to relapse into the language of His trade. He did it at that crisis in His life when He led His disciples to face the question who lie really was, and when Peter moved by a sudden inspiration exclaimed, 'Yon are the Alesiah. the intense in spiritual exaltation of the moment He said, "Ah, Peter, yon have struck led rock at last and on this rock I will builn my Church, do here al the climax of this revolutionary addiess Jesus relapses into the language of His trade and draws |he picture of the rock founded character, the man so convinced ot the vital moment of what Jesus has been saying that he builds his whole life upon it. As lie outlined Hie contrast which He pictured, there may have Bashed before His eye Hie memory of the house which He Himsell ,11 ' a.id builded to for some friend, digging deep the solid rock, and of the fearful storm which had swept away so many frail structures, that lie had wondered how His work had tared until lie found it secure amid the surrounding ruin. The opening verses of this lecture show the kind of iiicn who are to have a place in the New Order. The lirst characteristic is traced by Jesus in ths words "poor in spirit," that is he who in spirit feels like a poor man. The Mohumniedans have one month in the year when from morning until night the faithful be liever takes neither food nor drink. At evening feasting begins. The object is that every man may know how it feels to be poor, to be really hungry and thirsty. The poor in spirit is the man who docs not want special priviand tying leges. The second characterization of the men of the New Order was "mourners." Jesus' sympathy had been deeply stirred by mourners. He Himself had mourned first His father's! death and then that of His relative and close friend, John the Baptiz.er. Everywhere He went He saw mourners, lie was destined to mourn His own life out over the sin of the world. But He wns not a selfish mourner. It is possible to mourn over oneself until all comfort is lost. In the New Order to mourn will be to find comfort from all the men and women of the Order, to awaken to the new conception of the Brotherhood of those wdio mourn, for comforters will be all about us in the New Order. 'I he next trait sketched by Jesus is meekness. Xow the meek man is not the one who underrates himself. Jesus was meek yet He bad a fair estimate of His powers. The meek man is he who wdth a clear estimate of himself holds himself ready to be helpful to other inch. Jesus here says that the selfish man must be eliminated from the world. When the Xew Order comes, the selfish man will be the dark memory of the past. Then Jesus adds that the man of the Xew Order will be hungry and thirsty for char BCter. The Pharisee of His day was hungry His counterpart and thirsty for reputation. of this age thirsts to see his name in the papers. Hut Jesus said that the man who is Hungry and thirty for character is fortunate because he is going to realize his ambition. I.very ideal of character which you honestly long after is a sure prophecy of what mi shall be. Hungry ami thirsty for character in others us well as in oneself. Jesus felt this so keen ly that when lie found character forming in an ignorant woman by a well side, lie was satisfied and forgot to care for food. "Blessed are the merciful." The merciful are people wdio forgive, not those who say, can forgive but I can't forget.'' "Blessed are the pure in heart." When the Rabbi went up to the temple to see God he idealised nis body. Jesus says, "When you go to see <toil the essential thing to do is to clean up not your body but your heart." Three (dements in this cleansing are emphasized by Jesus. To strengthen the sense of God one needs to see whether in his life there are any insincereties, whether he seems to others to be a better man than in his hcarl he knows he is. These must be gotten rid of if he is to have Jesus' consciousness of Gob Then again if you have a grudge put it away. If another's success troubles you, you must gel it out of your heart. Pray for that other until you learn to rejoice ill his success. The third meaning which Jesus had was unclean ness of thought. To these classes Jesus added the "peacemakers." He had in mind those who make peace between themselves and other men. Later on in His lecture He gave a clear picture of His meaning when He drew the scene of the man going into the temple with his gift nnd just before he offered it remembering a friend with whom he was not on terms of peace. Leave your religious duty, your socalled duty to God unfinished and get first in to right relations lo the other man, then go ahead with your worship. Jesus also was thinking of the man who reconciles enemies, who make peace between other men. He calls them Sons of God. God is the great Peace maker and they are like llim. Finally He adds, "Bleased are the pers I cuted, the men who are willing to stand by their convictions regardless of cost. You are ill good company, stand firm and wait for (lie Xew Order." Persons with this sevenfold character form the company of the Blessed Men, says Jesus. They are the salt of the earth, preserving it from decay. These are the Men of the invincible Good Will. Friendly men hold society in its orderly development. One of my students told me about a place in his State, West Virginia, called Troublesome Valley, where all the families were at odds. When "■ . - �THE FRIEND. a person dies in that valley his people have to send for men from some neighboring valley to come and bury him.

Hence He said to the rich young man, "Follow me.'' "Join yourself to me and learn how to use power in kindliness.'' The Church is a company of people who are being trained by Jesus Christ in the friendly use of power, so that when any need Is found one or two may be dispatched t> Ihe point of need lo supply this power.

Over the lives of al ilniloneil men .lesus pronounced magical words of friendship and good will that raised them up to new careers of joy and purity. There is a certain strenuousness in .lesus, n certain sense of peril, of danger to le avoid ed by men whom self rules. What was His message to the selfish ninnf What did .lesus think selfishness to bet Selfishness is the refusal to take account of other men. By unselfishness .lesus docs not mean the ignoring of one's own interests. I'aul phrase. 1 it well when he said that selfish ness is tne refusal to look on the things of the other man; refusal, that is, to take account of the other man. The Xew Testament pictures two natures in every personality. It calls them flesh and spirit. Flesh is the inheritance from the animal past or a bond of connection with the animal present. It is that which says, "What I want I lake. The other half of personality, the spirit, is that which rises up into communion with (bid Browning's words are and other spirits. significant : " Rejoice, we To that which arc allied doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive! A spark disturns our clod: Nearer we hold of (lod Who gives, than of his tribes that take, I must Ii lieve. ' The spirit is the part which we have in common with mid a ml oilier men. Xow selfishness consists ill giving to the flesh the dominance. 11l Sin Francisco a fewweeks after the lire I was told of a young woman who in fleeing from a hotel put on all her jewels as the best way to save them. A man saw her, snid in his heart, "What I want I take," crushed her throat with his hands and took her jewels. Selfishness shows itself in various forms. There is a lazy selfishness which does not regard Others I eeai.se it costs effort. .lesus reI liked such in his paral le, "Thou wicked and slothful servant." There is a cimiinercial selfishness. I met :i business man some month! ago on my travels. We grow confidential while we were together and one day he said: "When you have business dealings with men you must take no account of friendship." Many of us know this is not true of what the I est I usiness is coming to Ie, yet it represents the ideal of commercial selfishness. There is also a selfishness of culture, of the college man who gratifies his intellectual tastes regardless of other men. It is matched by fhe selfishness of the society woman ignorant of the sea of wretchedness that washes up against the back steps of her palatial home. Still another form is the regretful selfishness which was that of tin' lich young man who turnen away sorrowful from .lesus when the Master tobl him to share his wealth with tic poor, lie was full of regret but he turned away. What are the consequences in the personality of the selfish manf We live in an age impatient of words. Men want to know facts. It is no longer possible to scare men with the word hell or to fascinate them with the term heaven. What are the facts back of these expressions! I will read you a passage from the works of a man with an imagination which if turned into the channel of pure literature might have rivclcd Dante: "The God that holds you over the pit of hell much as one holds a spider or sonic loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you and is dreadfully provoked; his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire—you are ten thousand times so a.ominable in his eyes as the most hateful and venomous serpent is in ours. * He will not only hate you, but he will have you in the utmost contempt. No place shall be that fit for you but under his feet to be trodden down in the mud in the streets." We know that Mr. Moody could never have used this language of the man of two ecu luries ago. Over our thought a change has conic which has aliected our mode of speech. We do not think of the poetic statements of doom in the Bible as literal. We lay stress upon the fact thai the only punishment of sin is the consequences of sin. We in this age do not speak of God sending men to hell, but often as sending themselves there. Our inquiry today, however, is, can we from the teaching of Jesus ascertain wdiat seemed to Him to lie the consequences of lite in the personality of the selfish man. To put it in a word, Jesus seems to have regarded the consequences of selfishness to Ie a damaged personality; not a damage put upon the personality from the outside, but one s If caused and from within. "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose himselff lie asks. So of the rich, selfish farmer, "This night thyself shall be required of thee, then whose shall these thing* fcef" The first great consequence in this damaged personality is the pain of loneliness. Sep iration is the dominant idea in Ihe mind of Jesus, "Depart from me," "Into the out r darkness.'' We see how this must be so. Selfishness is the contradict ion of friendship. No true friendship can exist between two selfish persons. If two such unite, siy a man and a woman in marriage, friendship in time vanishes. It would seem that ill many men, in selfish men, the capacity for friendship slowly decays. Paul here has a sentence of vast and solemn moment, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he Unit soweth unto his own flesh shall of the less reap decay." Corruption is the word used, rottenness, decay is the meaning. The capacity to feel interest in another person shall decay. Hence the selfish man conies to be left aioue, condemned by the violated laws of his own being to solitude. Jesus once shrank from this terrible consequence when he faced a great temptation to le selfish, Kxcept a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone." Alone! not separate in space, for i here is no such loneliness as is found in great cities by the friendless. Have you ever visited an insane hospital ward and seen the loneliness of the poor souls who dwell therein! One attendant can care for twenty because they have no power of cooperation. They are alone, but not separated in space. Huch loneliness must le painful because the one great instinctive human dread, is to 1 c alone. It is seen in the child crying alone at night. Through this dread men congregate in cities. And for this reason no punishment man knows is so awful as solitary confine- ' " ment. Vet there are men who wall themselves up stone by stone, day. after day, in a cell of solitary confinement. We do not have to say that God shuts them up, but by the violated laws of their own nature they have separated themselves from God and their brother man. Whittier, whose contributions to theology are, 1 sometimes think, not so fully realized as they deserve, sings: No word of doom may shut thee out, -\o wind of wrath may downward whirl, Xo sword of tire keep waich about The open gates of pearl, A tenderer light than moon or sua, Than song ot earth a sweeter hymn May shine and sound forever on And thou be deaf and dumb. Forever round the mercy scat The guiding lights ot iovc shall burn, But what if, habit-bound, thy feet Shall lack the will to turn! What if thine eye refuse to see, Thine ear of heaven's free welcome And thou a willing captive be, Thyself thine own dark janf fall, O doom beyond the Baddest years, As the long years of God unroll, To make thy dreary selfishness The prison of thy soul! Side by side with this goes the pain of sense of having nothing to .io, no purpose, no goal. For the chief motive for achievement is gone wdien one loses inn rest in persons. when wife and children arc taken a man oiten finds no more incentive to accumulate. Moreover, it is impossible to do anything worth while without the cooperation of other persons. Conceive yourself to le shut entirely away from all connection whatsoever with other persons and you will lind yourself where you can do nothing. So the consciousness of Jesus made llim cry, "Of myself 1 can do nothing. Hones tte reached out after God and His brothers. The decay of this capacity for achievement is pain of the keenest sort. For tiie soul's divinest instincts are first the capacity for friendship and second the ability to achieve. Therefore your child loves to exclaim in triumph, "1 did it myself." After finding Livingstone, when Stanley came out in Cairo, .liinlessness, the ne wrote: "No honor or reward, however great, can be equal to that subtle satisfaction that a man (eels when he can point to his work and say, 'See now the task which I promised you to perform with all loyalty and honesty, with might and main, to the utmost of my ability, and God willing, is today finished. Say i well and truly donef And when the employers shall confess that it is well and truly done, can there be any recompense higher than this to one's inward self I" The great joy of achievement to which Jesus appealed would seem necessarily to die out of the selfish man. Je&us describes such a man in these words, "He walketh in the darkness and knoweth not whither be goeth.' He walks alone with no sense of others left in the darkness—and he has nowhere to go. This is the New Testament picture of the doom of the selfish man. Over against the civilization of brotherly men, over against the career of achievement, stands this selfish man puttering away in his little lonely self-made cell. What is his ultimate condition t Does he become an idiot, insane? Docs his being go outf Is there in the great resources of God some hope for himf Here we cannot dogmatize, we find we easily go beyond our Maker. Hear the words of Tennyson— . — �THE FRIEND.

"O ' The value of the great Christian creeds lies here and here only—to explain an expert euce that it may repeat it ill others' lives. It is a record of what some men have found in their laboratory work, bidding others test Ihe experience for themselves. Any other use of a creed is full of danger. This method expresses the very genius of Christianity, which is to share real values with another. When a Christian comes to you with a personal experience, it is not in argument or to tear down, but to share with you what is best in his life. So Browning —■ i way, our chief, Best way of worship; let me strive To find it and when found contrive My fellows also take their share! This constitutes my earthly care; God's is above it and distinct. For 1 a man with men am linked And not a brute with brutes; no gain That 1 experience must remain "Needs must there be Unshared." Contrive mv fillmrs also take iluir share. There is a feeling abroad, especially among niir college men that a man must not me Idle with another s religion. It is a natural re action due to abuses, but at bottom a man must share the highest values that come into his own experience so far as possible. The brute keeps all for itself. But men must share. With what effectiveness a man's experience becomes helpful when properly shared! A student came once to tell mo an incident in his life. He had been delayed at a small station. While waiting he began to wish that lie could give a report to some one of his experience with God and prayed that he might. He went out on to the platform, fell in with a German wearing the uniform of a band, found that he had had a university training in philosophy and in the course of conversation the topic of religion was reached. A squirrel ran across the park and he talked of design, then the whistle sounded and he reached out his hand with the word, "My brother, I know one thing. God is my heavenly Father, He has forgiven my sins and I have profound satisfaction, for once 1 was without Him." The German took his hand with a man's grip and answered, "I believe there is something in this for you have found it in your experience." The great leaders of this early movement were wont to lay stress on their experience with Jesus. It was so with Peter who headed the Jewish contingent in that early campaign when he reached the point where he coul say, "Thou art the Christ." Jesus exclaimed, "God bless you Simon, flesh and blood never told you that," and lapsing into the language of His trade He added, "This report of inner experience is bedrock and on it I can build." �16 So Paul the great non-Jewish leader, fell he was commissioned to give a report, "Arise and stand upon thy feet; for to this end 1 appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a witness of tin' things wherein thou hast seen me." When the great crisis came in Galatea Paul appealed to his own experience, "It is no longer 1 that live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live iii faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself up for me." It is the same with John. Hear him lay emphasis upon this in his first letter, "That which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that uliiei w< beheld, ami our hands handled." 'then again a sentence further on, "And we have seen and bear witness." Still, a third time, "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you." Three times in as many verses. So much for the fundamental importance of this policy. Look at the character of the Christian's report. Its substance is twofold. First I have acted for what is to me a sufficient reason on the supposition that Jesus Christ is alive and I have given Him control of my life. Second—As a consequence of this nc tion I find myself experiencing increasing honesty, enlarging sympathy and deepening peace. The great fundaments of character are involved in this report of personal experience. There is no exaggeration in such a report for it deals with the beginnings of new character —sincerity, sympathy and peace. It is not necessary for a man to report perfection, but only progress. It is not always made in words—that is a matter of temperament. It is a report that breaks forth in character, In action, in life, a character that shall begin to show evidence of a likeness to the character with which it is assumed to be In contact. Thus the dying Baron Bunsen looked up into the face of his wife with the message, "In thy face have I seen the face of the eternal." Browning had this in mind in Saul: "It shall be A Face like my face that receive thee: a Man like to me Thou shult love and be loved by forever; a Hand like this hand Shall throw open the gates of new life to thee: See the Christ stand." Not many weeks ago on a Sabbath evening in Cnlunibus I went to see a friend of my college days, who for five years had served as a pastor, when creeping paralysis came upon him and for nine years his wife had been compelled to put food into his mouth He was able to speak only one word at a time with great difficulty and so faintly that wife or daughter bending over him could just catch the accents. Yet the power of Jesus Christ was so evident in his character and life that he preached to all in his little section of Columbus the message of Christlikeness with far greater influence than ever he did while in his pulpit. What are the results of this policy! All the spiritual forces of the universe often seem so coordinate as to make one public witness produce effects far beyond possible estimation. It is like the explosion of Hell Gate in New York harbor where the labor of hundreds of men and the mighty force of the explosives all waited upon the touch of a little girl's finger upon the electric key to coordinate them into one tremendous effect. Likewise, the forces of the universe seem so TIIK FRIEND. coordinated that when a man begins to give his report tactfully and gracefully, great results are secured. President strong, of Rochester University, once said that while a student at Vale another Student approached him with a remark that involved a personal report of Christian experience. "1 wish you were a Christian" was all ihat was said when the chapel bell rang and hey separated. Young Strong became a ChrisItian in conseipience of that word and both students entered the ministry. Years later they mid and rresident Strong said: "Now 1 have the chance to say wdiat I long have wanted to tell you. I owe all that I am and that 1 have done to you." "How is thatf" "Don't you remember what you slid to me that day at college just before chapelt" "No, I do not." Dr. Strong told him, but he could not recall it. In a large sense all the wonderful influence of Dr. Strong, felt with such power by numbers of young men in his lectuie room, are the results of that one report mane by his classmate. Last spring wdiile in California I heard Dr. Mel.o.m, of Berkeley, tell an experience o! his while in college. Cp to his senior year he was not a Christian. A letter came that made him thin) a little. One day he and a classmate noted for speaking to others al out Christ met. McLean parried the subject again and again whenever it approached. They reached his room and courtesy compelled aim to invite his friend in. More than once the man brought the subject round only to be put off. Finally he put the direct question: "Mac. do you ever think about your soulf" Then they talked. Soon it was remarked in the class that "Mac was serious." "1 have sonii times been inclined to say,' added Dr. McLean, "that if that man hao not spoken to me out of his own experience I should never have been a Christian." If that be true, all the wide results of the great ministry of Dr. McLean in Oakland and elsewhere and his present work as President of the Seminary in Berkeley have flowed out of that talk. The chief satisfactions of the Christian life flow out of the consciousness of being helpful in this manner. Some time since a group of Methodist ministers grouped themselves about one of their leading Bishops and asked what experience gave him the most satisfaction in •ill his ministry. He said that in his first pastorate at a time of special interest he and a parishioner called upon an old man and tried to help him into the Christian life. The final answer was, "I'm too old, but if you can do anything for my son Tom, for Col's sake do it." The young itunister asked his parishioner who Tom was and found that he was a lazy, good for nothing tough, hanging about saloons, ready for anything that might The pastor bring an occasional drink. sought him out at a job cleaning saloon cuspidores. He took the young man home with him, gave him a place to sleep, clothed him decently, went with him to meeting and there the man rose and said he wished he were a Christian. The young minister soon moved and it was years before he revisited the town. He came there as Bishop, was met at the station by this man, taken to the finest house in the place and after grace, as the family sat about the table, the man turned to him Bishop, it's all your work." and said: Never as pastor, college president or bishop had he found such deep satisfaction, he said, as at that moment. Happy experiences attend the beginning of the Christian life, but there is none such deep satisfaction as dwells in the experience of leading another into the friendship of " Jesus. "It is more blessed to give than to receive" does not apply alone or chiefly to money, but to the sharing of our experience of Christ wdth others. "Trebly blessed art thou, my brethren, whose JOyfhl lot it is to stretch thy soul in a soul that is dead as Klisha stretched himself on the dead son of the Shunamite and raise him up breathing and calling upon God." OUR NEW SCHOOL SITE. Eor one, I must express a tfreat satisfaction in the site finally secured for our much desired .Mid-Pacific Institute. It is not so conspicuous as the lofty Kapahulu location, so long struggled for, but if more lowly, to my mind far more desirable. I believe that it wholly excels any other possible location, both in climate and in accessibility. The climate of this lower Manoa Valley is an ideal one. For over four years we have been residing on the "College Hills" tract, only a few rods from the new school site, and have found the climate ideal.
