' * 3 No. 5 Territory will be entitled to send to the National Council one ministerial and one lay delegate for every 5000 Church members or major fraction thereof. In all other respects there will be no changes in the conduct or government of our Churches. If the union be consummated the United, Churches will become the fifth largest company of Christian disciples in the United States. From now on until the National Council meets in October, and until the National Conferences of the United Brethren and Methodist Protestants assemble, let all our Church members make this mighty movement a subject of daily prayer, If these three companies of disciples join, doubtless the impetus given to believers of every name to forget their differences in obedience to the prayer of the Master for union will hasten to become irresistible. Those Churches throughout the Territory that already bear the name "Union" will feel especially at home in the new triunal denomination. Our Annual Meeting The program for this anniversary, which will convene in Kawaiahao Church, Honolulu, March 25 to June 3, is practically complete. The general topic will be "The Problem of ReligPaul's ious Education in Hawaii." letter to the Philippians will be the expository theme. Ample time has been allowed for business and a very interesting array of speakers is promised. Hawaii's delegate to the International Y. M. C. A. Convention in Tokyo, Mr. D. L. Ai, and the Board's delegate to the Centenary Conference of Missions in China, Rev. E. W. Timing, will be heard from. A new feature of this session will be ten minutes every morning given to learning : and singing some great hymn. This s to be no perfunctory matter, committees will not be allowed to meet at this time, and every delegate will be specially requested to be present and join in the inspiring exercise. Mr. Richards will have charge of this part of the program. We hope for a large attendance and request that every Church and every Christian make the anniversary a subject of special prayer. �THE FRIEND. 4 Kindly Mention It is pleasant to sec Tl\e Friend generously spoken of by its contemporaries. The Advertiser constantly brings messages to its readers from us, for which we arc always grateful. It would be natural to expect a friendly word from a comrade like The Pacific, or even from our big brother, the Congregationalist, of the distant Hub. But we hardly looked for so flattering a notice of a modest editorial as filled some two-thirds of a column in the Army and Navy Journal of March 9 or the column editorial upon the same article in the Boston Transcript of March 4. These kindly references are, of course, a tribute to the unique position Hawaii holds in the Pacific and to the contributions her conglomerate population, together with the resulting problems and her way of tackling them, enable her to make to social science. These Islands must grow increasingly interesting to the world at large according as we grapple successfully with the great questions that face us. For this reason a failure like that of the present Senate to pass the Local Option Bill is a cause for keen regret. We all want Hawaii to do things in an ideal way. She can and please God she will. The Peace Movement The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii has appointed Mr. W. R. Castle, Jr., who holds the position of Assistant Dean in Harvard University, to represent the business interests of the Territory at the Mohonk Conference or. International Arbitration, soon to convene at Lake Mohonk. This is the first time these Islands have formally participated in this worldwide Conference, though Island residents have attended previous sessions. The movement for World Peace is fast growing irresistible. The advocates of this, which is by far the one most important human interest, are showing the greatest wisdom in their propaganda. In the first place, all the leading parliaments of the world are being reached through the Interparliamentary Union. This is a Congress in the interests of Peace which is composed of 2500 of the 15,000 members who make up the national assemblies of earth. This august body has formulated a platform of four principles, which the nations have agreed to discuss at the Second Hapue Conference, scheduled to meet on June 15. These four questions are: first. Shall the Conference meet hereafter automatically and periodically; second, Shall a model arbitration treaty be drawn, third, Shall disarmament be discussed; fourth, Shall contraband of be defined. Another mighty agency bearing the promise of larger achievement even than the Interparliamentary Union is that which aims to enlist all the financial magnates of earth uito a movement that shall be pledged to close the sources of money power to nations that wish to urge war. If this end be achieved fighting must cease, for only the government that can command loans can afford to be belligerent. The third great aggregation which shows growing hostility to war is organized labor. The day is fast Hearing when the common people the world over, who from the earliest ages have borne the weight of war's burdens, the men who form the targets for one another, who do the weary marching, undergo the degradation of camp life, lose the finer fiber of manhood in training for the shambles, and the women who stay at home to care for the children, besides earning the food that the absent husbands should provide, who swell the ranks of widows or toil through life for maimed and wounded veterans, will play the fool no more, will crowd tumultuously into one great union Of Peace and end forever the insensate madness of public murder. To popularize these features of the campaign and to create a regnant public opinion that shall tolerate war no more, gigantic Peace Conferences like that in New York which concluded its sessions April 17 arc constantly projected. It does not take Mankind long to come to mighty and momentous decisions nowadays. By the time the Hague Conference of 1007, which will be composed of delegates from all the fortyfive nations of the globe while its predecessor represented only twenty-six, shall have ended, a definite World Parliament may be organized. Who can tell? Hawaii is small, but it has its part in this vast movement. When June 15 is reached a series of cablegrams should go from Chamber of Commerce, Merchants' Association, University and College Clubs, the various Churches and Fraternal Orders to our American delegates calling upon the Conference to take the great step of declaring that war must cease and the reign of law be established among all nations. war Progress in Temperance Indications are not wanting that the noble campaign of education waged now for twenty years and more by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the public schools of the Nation is> issuing jn victory. Drink- ing to excess is becoming unfashionable. The presence of much wine or many varieties of intoxicants on the tables even of Society leaders is no longer good' form. The doctrine of the sanity of good health is merging into an axiom. People are giving heed to questions of dietetics as never before. Simple food, less meat in the daily regimen, abstinence even from tea and coffee, as well as from alcoholic stimulants, not in any Puritanic spirit or from ascetic notions or through religious scruples, but solely because the man of brains does not tare to play the fool by drugging his powers into lesser efficiency and because he wishes to be all there at every moment in the growing strenuousness, complexity and matchless charm of present day life, all are evidences that intellect is progressively asserting itself as master over animalistic instincts. The newer sort of collegian trained under the dominance of this type of common sense is bound to live more widely, achieve more, enjoy more and contribute more to his age than his predecessors. It is this spirit that tortures the saloon advocates with the specter of the downfall of their power. They cannot fight this sort of foe. You may laugh yourself into seeming victory over a fanatic or a saint, but when \ou tackle cold common sense, the laugh and the victory are on the other side. No wonder, then, that The Wine and Spirit Circular, one of the leading liquor journals of America, has this sage advice for its readers: "If there is one thing that seems settled beyond question it is that the retail liquor trade of this country must either mend its ways materially or be prohibited in all places save the business or tenderloin precincts of our larger cities." What "mend its ways" means it is hard to tell. 'Hie editorial continues: "If the Anti-Saloon League can maintain its present organization it looks as if it will certainly destroy the legalized saloon in all of the Southern States, except perhaps in Missouri, and it is certainly making strong headway in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other Western and Northern States. The Anti-Saloon League is not a mob of long-haired fanatics, as some of the writers and speakers connected with our business have declared, but it is a strongly-centralized organization, officered by men of unusual ability, financeered by capitalists with very long purses, subscribed to by hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who are so- �THE FRIEND. licited by their various Churches, advised by well-paid attorneys of great ability, and it is working with definite ideas to guide it in every state, in every county, in every city and in every precinct." Why all this is true the Wine and Spirit Circular does not state. It is because the man of today knows more about his body and its care than nil predecessors. The consummate folly of taxing himself to support such an institution as the saloon, the father of brothels, jails, insane asylums, orphanages and poor houses is fashioning itself into an axiom. The Indiana Decision Human progress has oftentimes strange manifestations. A great social truth comes silently into men's souls almost unguessed. Then some man utters it so simply and so startlinglv that the world stands aghast. In olden limes the astonishment expressed itself by stoning or hanging or crucifying or otherwise murdering the human mouthpiece of the universal conscience and a few years later canonizing him. We do not do this today. Sometime, we make a fuss for a while, especially if vested interests be menaced, but in a surprisingly short time intellect rallies to conscience side and the new social truth begins to coin witticisms al the expense of previous mental density. The case of Judge Artman of Indiana is to the point here. He has just decided, in what promises to become one of the historic pronouncements in the war of common sense versus the saloon, "that the State cannot under the guise of a license delegate to the saloon business a legal existence, because to hold that it can is to hold that the State may sell and delegate the right to make widows and orphans, the right to break up homes, the right to create misery and crime, the right to make murderers, the right to produce idiots and lunatics, the right to fill orphanages, poorhouses, insane asylums, jails and penetentiaries, and the right to furnish subjects for the hangman's gallows." The Judge therefore rules' that the State law licensing saloons is unconstitutional. This decision may not stand when appealed to the Supreme Court. But that it is the product of the social common sense of the American people and not the utterance of one man, and hence that it will prevail ere long in the life of our Nation, cannot be doubted. The American people are doing more thinking upon this question than ever before, and they are doing it in an entirely new way. They are approaching it from the point of view of hard common sense. The saloon is "a fool thing," as the college boy puts it. Pourinsj into one's body stuff, every drop of which tends to weaken, is, after all, beneath contempt. It is childish and the world of men must outgrow it. All this is axiomatic today. Like war, the traffic in women and slavery, the saloon must go as a frightful travesty upon the civilization of brotherly men. Steamship Disasters A lady passenger on the steamship Dakota busy packing her trunk in anticipation of landing soon at Yokohama glanced out of the porthole of her cabin and exclaimed to her husband, "I never knew that large steamers like this sailed so near the shore." A few minutes later the IXikota was a wreck. Japanese on land, abserving the course she was taking, bail their boats all in readiness and some had even started out to lend a helping hand before the vessel -truck. A gentleman, standing upon the deck of the Mongo'ia as she steamed towards Midway in a calm, clear night, pointed out to a fellow traveler 3 line of breakers a little ahead and to one side with the word, "We seem to be getting close to the rocks." In less than two minutes the steamer grounded. In each case the captain was on the bridge. Eyery one of the accidents to the liners Manchuria. Mongolia and Dakota anil the transport Sheridan were entirely avoidable. A most competent witness in court at Honolulu recently testified that if the captain had used "the commonest discretion" the Mongolia could not have gone ashore on Midway. Ugly rumors are afloat connecting the names of some of these ship-wrecking captains with the use of alcoholic stimulants. These tales may be entireh- false in all cases. But we wonder whether the transpacific steamship companies are as careful to prohibit the use of intoxicants by their employes as are the leading railroads of the Union? It may be that they are. If so, would it not be well for them to advertise this fact as the railroad companies do? Certainly if an engineer or conductor even by one known indulgence in drink, though moderate, renders himself liable to discharge, an officer of an ocean liner should be equally subject to discipline. It tni?ht be a wise thing for passengers to study the habits of the captains with whom they sail and let it be known if they find unmistakable evidences of even the moderate use of alcohol. For tests made by the German Government 5 clearly establish the fact that even a very sparing use of alcohol tends to cloud the judgment and lessen accuracy. By all means let us have light on the subject of the possible relation of avoidable shipwrecks to the use of intoxicants. Is it not time also for the traveling public to demand that greater care be used by our American transpacific lines in the choice of captains? It seems singular that out of the five recent startling accidents upon the Pacific, namely, those befalling the Manchuria, Mongolia, Sheridan, Dakota and Mongolia a second time, all occurred in steamships under American captains and that each of these groundings was due to what seems to the public to have been criminal carelessness. The bigness of the ship in no case was responsible for the clumsiness of its handling. S. E. B. For the first time in years we miss these familiar initials at the close of one or more articles in our columns. Dr. Bishop's service to The Friend has been so constant, so vigorous and bo provocative of thought that an intermission of it is like the absence of a near companion. A week or two ago the Doctor was prostrated by illness, ■md though he is well on his way to recovery, he is not suffered to give time to his usual round of work. As many know, he has had exclusive charge of the Record of Events and the column of Marriages and Deaths. These have added definite value to The Friend for ready reference. The fertility and resourcefulness of Dt. Bishop's mind have for many years been a revelation and a delight to a large circle both in Hawaii and on the mainland. One never knows just what subject he will tackle, from volcanoes and moon-birth theories to New Theology and the Higher Criticism, but the disclosure of bis theme and his handling of it are always forceful and possess a peculiar charm. May he soon again enter our editorial rooms, copy in hand, and long continue to give joy to his friends through the columns of this periodical, which owes its prolonged life and vitality so much to him,- John G. Woolley Monday, April 29, the Anti-Saloon League cabled to Hon. John G. Woolley of Chicago a call to come to Honolulu as Superintendent and Counsel of the League with full liberty to devote what time he might think best to general law practice. This was done in response to information that Mr. Woolley had dc- �6 cided to resume his former vocation as a counsellor at law and was inclined to a permanent view favorably Honolulu home. A reply is expected at an early day stating that the invitation has been accepted and that Mr. and Mrs. Woolley with one son will soon be on their way. Honolulu is to lie congratulated' upon the prospect of securing so distinguished a citizen of the United States to take Dp his permanent abode here. Some twentyfive years ago Mr. Woolley was practicing law in Minneapolis and had succeeded in climbing to the enviable position of one of the best known and most successIn ful lawyers of the then northwest. 1881 he was prosecuting attorney of that city. In 1886 r.- was practicing law in New York City. In 1888 he surrendered his business to take up cudgels against the saloon and soon became the accredited and most widely known spokesman of the Prohibitionists of ihe Union. In 1900 he was the candidate of the Third Party for President of the United States. As an orator he is a man of remarkable power and has been sought by the organized enemies of the saloon as an advocate in all the principal English-speaking cities of the world. He is equally well known as an author and editor. Fof many years he conducted "The New Voice." Latterly bis affiliations have been more closely with the Anti-Saloon than the Third Party Prohibition movement. Experience has mellowed him and removed' the bitterness that once used to characterize bis pttUk utterances, lie is a militant Christian, a lover of righteousness and a fighter for every good cause. He will mightily strengthen the local campaign for civic betterment in these Islands. The coming of Mr. and Mrs. Woolley is, we believe, prophetic of what we may expect during the next twenty years. As we succeed in standing for righteousness in our government, making over our churches into servants of (rod's Kingdom, and curtailing the power of the saloon until the drink evil is expelled from this Paradise, we shall attract large numbers of people who yearn for a perfect climate with a social system at once just and brotherly to all men. If we can only keep out the caste spirit and the demon of race prejudice, welcome East and West to equal privileges of citizenship, take from each the best that each has to give anil incorporate the genii 1 gentleness of the people of the Pacific Mid-Sea, Hawaii will become one of the most unique, most attractive, populous, prosperous and influential centers on the globe. Why not make it so? We can if we will. To association in the fight for this ideal we welcome Mr. John G. Woolley and his family. THE FRIEND.

In 1903 the advocates of this thoroughly American method of settling the liquor question were practically iaughed out of court in the Legislature. Tn 1905 the bill, introduced and championed by Hon. C. This H. Dickey, passed the Senate. year it passed the House with but three adverse votes, and but for the knifing of professed friends in the upper chamators 7 know him.

The young man has good in him and ; we still hope that he will pull out of the connections which drag him down. The pleas made against both the Primary and Local Option measure bySenator Chillingworth deserve a moment's consideration. The argument in brief is that the Hawaiian voter cannot be trusted.

The Ter- �8 ritory does not yet grasp in all its meaning the value of Local Option. This was made evident in" dealing with the Hawaiian members of the Lower House. They yielded a glad support as soon as its sound American features were explained. Although there is already large public backing for the measure, it should have the pressure of still stronger public opinion behind it. The fight in the Legislature has been a splendid propaganda in its favor. During the ensuing two years the Anti-Saloon League will see to it that all the voters of the Islands are enlightened as the Representatives have been, Then we may look for such a triumphant movement in its favor in 1909 that there will be no subsequent reaction. So the present issue only postpones the inevitable result. We confidently expect this two years hence, but it will make no difference in our fighting spirit if it should take fifty. For the advocates of temperance never give up. As the Wine and Spirit Circular in its now famous editorial remarked, "If the Anti-Saloon League is defeated at any point it immediately prepares for another attack along new lines, and when it succeeds it at once begins work for a more telling victory." The few saloon men who have prevented the bill from becoming law will fade out just as the present personnel of the forces opposed to them will. But there is this difference. As a rule no saloon man wants his hoy to carry on his traffic; he wishes his children in better business. At heart he is ashamed of it. But every fighter for temperance trains his boys to wiser and more successful warfare for the cause in which he believes with all his heart. We serve 'hie notice on the liquor men that two years hence we will cross swords with them again, nay, we mean to keep up the battle every day between now and the session of the Legislature of 1909. We are glad to be able to announce that we expect as Superintendent and Counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu no other than that doughty champion the Hon. John G. Woolley. May God give the victory in this campaign of conscience and of ideals to those with whom the truth lies. Meantime let us all remember Howthat the fight is not personal. ever we differ, we are all brothers in the same great family of the Eternal Father, and though at times much plainness of speech must he used and definite political and social contests must be joined, all this is compatible with a reverence for one another as THE FRIEND. men differing in many things, but es- ready consecrated themselves to the sentially alike in bearing the image of same work.

Many questions were asked, and the present advanced condition of many of the Chinese living on the Islands, the delightful Chinese home life and the fine type of Chinese citizenship were brought At the close of the address, Dr. Lambuth, speaking on behalf of Christian America, said: "I believe that now is the time for the Christian Church of America to put forth special efforts toward pushing on the Oriental work in these islands of the Pacific. The various Missions Hoards and organizations of America should be led to realize the great importance of the work of the Hawaiian Hoard for the Chinese and Japanese of Hawaii, and should give every aid possible— I mean not only by their influence, but by financial support—that the work may be carried on more aggressively than ever before." Dr. D. Spencer of Japan said of the 40,000 Buddhists in Hawaii, that they are not now full of enthusiasm for their religion, but are open to the influence of a forward movement of Christian effort. A very marked interest was shown, by all who had visited Honolulu, in the Christian work of the Islands. The sermon on Sunday was by Rev. Dr. A. K. dv Blois of Chicago, from Luke 2:10: "Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." He began by saying: "I owe the choice of my text this morning to a name, one I had not heard before, but which is now among the list of missionary heroes, which I delight to treasure in my mind—the name of Hiram Bingham, that embassador from the Courts of Heaven to the people of Hawaii. As I looked at that memorial tablet placed in the old out. \V. R. coral Church of Honolulu, I thought of the time, long ago, on the 25th of April, 1820, when Hiram Bingham came to Hawaii, bringing the message of this text." He then spoke of the grand work of the missionaries in Hawaii, and in the world, who came with the tidings of great joy, with a message of a Savior, to lift men up. He thus introduced his great subject, the "Saviourhootl of Jesus." It was a grand and inspiring address. March .26.—Nearing the shores of Japan. Will be in Yokohama this afternoon.

Wednesday afternoon, March 13, the community received the not unexpected tidings that Mother Castle had passed away. The closing of a life so long and intimately connected with all that is good in the development of Hawaii cannot fail to excite mote than ordinary interest. Her life was full of suggestion to all. Her death was the peaceful close of a finished career. Mary 1 enney was born in Plainfield, a little farming community in Otsego County, New York State. Her parents, Levy Tenney, and his wife, Mary (Kingsbury), with the two children born in Sudbury, emigrated from Southern Vermont about 1813 to what was then the promising West-Central New York. He was a stern Puritan in religious belief, a man of forceful mind and character. His wife was an intellectual woman and a devoted, active, earnest Christian. With such quali- ties, they soon occupied a position of influence in the community. Mary was born October 2(>, 1819, and her early life was quietly spent among the hills surrounding the home. She was fourth in a family of nine children, all but one of whom are now dead. The village schools afforded a common school education, but this was not enough to satisfy either the parents or children, and several terms were spent in seminaries elsewhere. About 1836, after the marriage of her eldest sister, Ange-I'iie, to S. N,. Castle, and their departure for the mission field of the Hawaiian Islands, Mary left home and went to Deerfield, Massachusetts, and entered the academy. It was a school of high reputation at that time, and it was there, probably, that she received the substantial basis of her school-acquired knowledge. The great financial distress and disasters of 1837 evidently compelled her to leave the Deerfield Academy, and she returned to Plainfield and lived quietly with the family for several years, part of the time teaching in the district school. I,n the fall of 1841 she accompanied her invalid sunt, Miss Jeiiidah Kingsbur)', to Columbus, Georgia, giving devoted care to her, until she died in the spring of 1842. Miss Kingsbury was a woman of rare intellect, education and attainments, a thinker and accomplished writer. Her influence proved a strong mental stimulus to the young country girl, and she resumed her studies with the view of preparing herself to teach in the higher schools. Death changed all these plans; at that time, also, S. \\ Castle returned from Hawaii to the States with his motherless little daughter. He offered his ''and to Mary, inviting her to become ''is wife and companion in Hawaii, his chosen field of missionary labors. Her letter accepting his offer is a very touching picture of her mental state at that time. She sadly and humbly doubted her fitness to become a missionary. I'he lofty character of that work, as she conceived it, seemed to be something beyond bet, ami which she was unworthy to 1 nthrtake. Returning north to her childhood's home, she was married ( letobcr 13, 1842, in West Exeter, New York, a mile or two from her birthplace! and the start was soon made on the long voyage to Honolulu, bringing back the little daughter of her sister Angeline. In Honolulu, from her arrival in May, 1843. till i8()2, much of her time was necessarily occupied in the bearing and training of a large family; besides which she had special duties as hostess, for her husband, as secular agent of the American Hoard, was expected to entertain many of the guests of the Mission. In fact, most of the mission families in Honolulu very nearly kept open bouse, for visitors were many in those days. The children born of this marriage were Samuel. Charles \lfred, Harriet \ngeline (now Mrs. 11. ('. Coleman), William Richards, George Parmelec, Albert Tyler, James Hicknell, Caroline Dickinson (now wife of Rev. W. 1).

(Inly once during the li ng period of residence in Hawaii—(l4 years, almost —did she re-visit the land of her birth. In July, 1877, with Mr. Castles she went to America and was absent about two years and a half. She had been hungry, Pout with longing sometimes, to again see and be with her own, and, this wish gratified, only those who saw her with friends there can understand how much it meant to her: she was content and happy to return here and live out her days. Those who have been associated with her in religious, benevolent and educational work can best testify to the value of what she did. Her whole heart, to the day of her death, wa" enlisted in the work for which she came to Hawaii. It came to her mind always ahead of, and more important than, any other concern. At first, her time and energies were devoted to helping and improving the condition, physical and spiritual, of the native Hawaiian. Then, as changing circumstances brought those of other nations to our shores, her sphere widened, and Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Europeans, all, were embraced in her plans for helping and elevating mankind. A severe attack of illness in the latter part of July, 1904, so weakened the remaining three years of her life that she was unable personally to attend to the duties she loved, but, in the midst of physical weakness, her mind still retained its 11 grasp mi the main objects of her life, some time in 1817, gives a vivid picand her interest continued to the end. ture of some of these influences.

It is interesting to note that, in order to receive the appointment as a missionary of the American Board, she procured a certificate from the Church in Columbus, Ga. "AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF MRS. CASTLE." For several years after coming to Hawaii the old questions about change of heart, forgiveness of sin, and love of the Father were a heavy weight to her. She spent many hours in prayer, reading and struggling with her own heart. Hut peace did not come. She read much, and, amid her many cares, found time to get an intimate acquaintance with grave theological problems which were then agitating nun through all the Christian world. The "Oberlin Evangelist" was for many years familiar reading matter in the house, and she entered deeply into the yearnings for holiness and perfection so much written of in that sheet. The writings of Fenclon, the sermons of Bossuet, the life of Madame Guyon, Upham's "Interior Life," and similar works, produced a deep impression on her mind. The misery caused by sin ; its dreadful and, to her, apparently undeserved effects on innocent women and children; the questions of punishment, justice and mercy, caused her untold suffering. Her agonized and constant prayer for light and peace and a certain ground for faith, seemed never answered. For years her face was wan and sorrowful. The internal struggle was never at rest and she was not allowed the peace she so earnestly desired. Those who did not understand thought she was growing misanthropic, but the influence of the books she had read opened a new current of religious thought, time brought her to a new which in world of life and liberty. After a while she read less of what others thought and did— others who were perhaps in as deep darkness and whose minds were struggling as much as her own—and read lore constantly of the life of Jesus, dwelling more on his own words. It was then that she came fully into the iight; and with the light came peace. She felt that the love of Jesus was allsufficient. She ceased to struggle for the mental assurance that she was "perfect, even as God is perfect," and was satisfied to let the law of love be the guiding inspiration of her life. It was enough to live by that rule, though she well recognized that she must fail to reach her ideals, not because of wrong intentions, but on account of human frailty. What that light and peace, illumined with the love of Jesus, meant to her, how it blossomed into the beautiful life of the final years, only those know who were with her constantly. Hut all her and friends companions in the Churches and elsewhere saw and noted the change and felt the purity, peace and love which until the end were the mainsprings of her life's conduct. We who arc left must always feel the influence of her beautiful life. Does not such a record make life more worth the living? W. R. C. ADDRESS OF REV. WALTER FREAR. IN MKMORAIM OK MRS. MARY T. CASTLE. As this service must be brief, my words must be few. There can lie no adequate expression of the appreciation and affectionate regard in which our Mother Castle is hold by us all. Wo can add nothing to the honor she already has in our hearts. This privilege of making the address on this occasion comes to me because 1 was so long her pastor in former years. Pardon then just a personal word. Ity this privilege I am carried back in precious memories as I coulil scarcely bo in any other way, and 1 want to testify that she was ono of those who did so very much to brighten nnd cheer that pastorate of a quarter of a century ago. During it all she was near as a neighbor and still nearer bb a friend. She was always sympathetic, responsive and helpful in every effort for the good of the church and the community antl for tho advancement of the king tlo in. We all feel that it has been a great blessing to us antl to many that she has been spared so long, in that apart from all that she has done she herself has been like an abiding benediction upon her children and upon the whole community. Kulogy is not at all in my thought and we know it would be farthest from her wish. What most of all we want, and she herself would desire is, that her influence should eon sinue to live for good in us; for we do live each ntlier. We write our lives on eitcli other's hearts, mill our friends livi in UH after they are gone.

This is a superlative tpiality in the spirit and character of beings like ourselves, sin stained ami impure. Pure in miml, pure in heart, pure in hoily, what more beautiful thing coulil lie said of one living in such a life, uml so conditioned as is this of ours. The practical .lames says, as if it were a primal thing: "l''irst pure, then peaceable. The loving John says: "lie that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as lie is pure." Paul as fixing the ultimate end tells us that I'hrist gave himself for us to purify unto himself a peculiar people. More than all, our Huvinr himself says, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Pure in heart shall see Hod. Mow much it means. During the years of my near acquaintance with Mother Castle she impressed me as having in rure degree this refined purity of spirit. 1 do not mean at all that in any sense technical or historical she was what some might call puritanic, bound to formal observance and to restrictive narrowness, but there was in her this refined quality of spirit purity. In unusual degree she was clsun in heart anil of a pure miml, freed from the lusts of the llcsh and the pride of life, from the vain desire, the empty wish, and the sel fish aim. In all the relations of life there was to uc seen in her this beautiful singleness and purity of spirit. It might not be quite the thing to say that she had almost a passionate desire for this purity of heart and Hie, but one thing is clear that the dross was refilled out of her nature until this purity became a warm glow and beauty in her character. I.ct us learn this lesson from her and strive to be pure as she was. The next lesson that we may well learn from our beloved and venerated mother, ia that of peace. First purity, then peace. It is not placid ity or serenity, or evenness ami pcnceahlcnesß of disposition uml temperament that is meant. It is the peace of did. It is the rich legacy which Christ left to his disciples, when in his last words he said: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you." It is the peace of (Jod that passeth understanding, that peace which wo are told to let rule in our life, and which is spoken of as that whercunto we arc called. Tt is tho poaco of Hie divine benediction in the various epistles Keautiful and blessed peace, that is like a river of love and life in tho soul, that lets not the heart bo troubled, and that comes to sinful men only through our Lord Jesus Christ. Have we not seen this blessed peace in Mother Castle f Yes, the real thing—tho peace of God—the peace that Josug gives. We have soen it in her heart, we have seen it in her life, wo have seen it in her face. The beauty marks of it, I am told, were on �THE FRIEND. her face, us the cold form laid upon the couch after the spirit has passed to the better home. The memory of this, her peace, will abide with us. It was a fruit of the spirit. It was the gift of Christ. May this blessing so joyously seen in her lead us likewise to seek it if we have it not. A third, prominent ami dominating quality in the character and life of Mother Castle was love. It is in this respect especially that these should come to us from her abiding lesson. Purity, peace and love, and the greatest of these is love. Love is the very essence anil snul of Christian character and life. Faith shall pass into sight, and hope into fruition, but love übideth It never faileth. forever. It is the final, finished, perfected, fruitage of Christ's redeeming work in us. Love is of (iod, and Cod is love. It is in us the fuddling of all To love Cod with nil the righteousness. heart, and the neighbor as oneself is the ultimate of moral and spiritual perfection, To le constrained, in all the inner and outer life, by the love of Christ, who loved us and gave hinfself for us, is the acme of Christian motive. The Christ spirit in man is the spirit of love. His final word was, "As I have loved you, so love ye one another." In tliis respect the heart, the life, the character of Mrs. Castle had been transformed into the likeness of Christ. She learned of him what love is, and how to love, and loving as he loved became the rule of her life. This love in her was not. a sentiment. It was a principle. It was not si mere feeling. It was character and life. It manifested itself with Christ-like spirit in the motives, and aims, and purposes, and tloings and deeds of her daily life. It was the controlling force in her being. I have no reference here to the fnet that she was loved. She was loved dearly and widely. She had endeared herself to multitudes. Hut this was no part of her. It was not in her thought or aim or ambition. I mean that she herself loved in a Christ-like way—widely, it is vastly more central and vital in us to lovo than to be lovod, and she had a large place in this Christ-like loving. Her love was as witle as humanity, it reached out in unnumbered ways, known and unknown, in ministries large and small, sympathetic and helpful ministries, to the poor, the distressed, the discouraged, the orphaned, the homeless, the young, tho old, the heathen, near and far. Kvery man was her brother, every woman was her sister. Worthy appeals found an open door to her heart. She also loved wisely as well as widely. The orphanage, the home, the school, the church, tho Mission Board, institutions that work for tho permanent well-being of society and the world received the blessing of lovo from her strong and generous hand. There is a love that suffcreth long and is kind, that envieth not, that vatintcth not itself, antl is not puffed up, that behaveth not itself unseemly, and sceketh not her own, that I liinketh no evil, that rejoicoth not in iniquity, but in tho truth, that beareth all things, believeth a.ll things, hopcth all things, endureth all things. This love she had in her richly, but she had more. She had the love that went out as tho Master's did to seek and to save, to educate and enlighten, to help and lift up the children of men and to establish the kingdom of righteousness on earth. She has lived for much in her long life, but, tl this, her power of unselfish loving, could ue perpetuated in her children and in us all, that which would follow on in her usefulness would be more than nil that has gone before. It is a deep lesson in loving that we have to learn here today from this mother in Israel. In a closing word permit me to say that it. has bees such lives and labors its those of the venerated mother whom we honor today, and the influences that have gone forth from them, that have given to these Islands their best charm. The charms of mountain and valley and shore, of tropical verdure and bloom, and of gentle clime nre indeed rarely great, but it has been the moral and spiritual and social beauty and attractiveness that have been added to these, by, and resulting from the re fined Christian characters, Hie pure personnli lies. Sad the devoted labors of those who in the far gone years left the cultured home to bring the light of life to these darkened Isles, that have made them the Paradise of Had they been the Pacific that they are. left to be exploited in the interests of commerce only, had not the standards of purity and righteousness been lifted, had not the church been built, and the school and the home planted, and the Christian civilization established, all the salubrities of air and the grandness of nature, anil the riches of soil would not have made these Islands the loved place of abode that they are. Does it not behoove the desceiidents of these more than loyal Christian worthies, and all who here enjoy the fruits of I heir labors, to see to it that the good work of the fathers and mothers fuil not, but that the heritage they have received become increiisiugly glori mis. IN MEMORIAM. Old Honolulans recall with pleasure the visit to these Islands of Gen. and Mrs. Horatio Phillip Van Cleve of Minnesota some twenty-eight years ago. Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve were the parents of Mrs. William W. Hall of tihs city. The General passed away in 1891. Mrs. Charlotte Onisconsin Clark Van Cleve survived her husband until April r, KJO7, when she was called home at the age of 87 years. Mrs. Van Cleve was the daughter of the gallant Major Nathan Clark, U. S. A., and was born at Fort Crawford, Wisconsin, July 1, 181 9. At that time the name of the region was called Onisconsin, the form used by the early French explorers. She received this as her second name and retained it through life. Fort Crawford is now known as Prairie dv Chien. Her father was on the way up the Mississippi River to build Fort Snelling when she was born. The latter became her early home and gave her the right to style herself one of the "old settlers" of the great Northwest Territory. The Van Cleves, a family after the Rooseveltian heart, numbered an even dozen of children, seven of whom survive their mother, six of these being sons. Mrs. Van Cleve was a leading Church worker, deeply interested in missions and in every philanthropic undertaking.—Ed. 13 A SIGNIFICANT LETTER.

I understand that he has already raised about $28,000, of which $10,000 was raised in Belgium, his native country.

He said it Would make him supremely happy could he secure the means to care for a thousand lepers. His plan is to secure a piece of land on which to build cottages for the lepers and give the able-bodied ones a chance to eke out for themselves a better living by doing garden work. Many of the lepers are helpless, and must he cared for and fed. The Chinese government does little or nothing for them.

His first letter to me was headed, "Dear Sir." I wrote back, Dear Brother. In his reply, he said, "You call me Brother, and so we arc, for our work is one." And this seems to be the real conviction of this brave, consecrated man, who is truly the apostle to the lepers, who is the most loyal of churchmen in that he is loyal to humanity. O.

This of itself has been cause for wonderment, but that the entire set should be offered to the public at the amazingly low price of $42.00 for the set, marks the undertaking as the wonder in this day of wonders in the realm of book publishing. Imagine its price four times what it is, put it to the severest encyclopaedia tests you know, either as to comprehensiveness, accuracy, reliability, newness, clearness and charm of expression, profusion and character of illustration, character of paper, binding—examine it from every standpoint and you will finding nothing lacking. We might write pages about its 60,000 subjects, its 7,500 three-column pages, its 6.000 illustrations, the color plates, the full-page plates, the perfect cross-reference system and the many other advantages. But we won't. We will do better than that.
