the call of Central Union Church has
ni.w come with the authority ol ■ command from tin- Master. Bearing the re
lation that it does to the entire Christian
movement in these Islands, this Church
holds the key position in the campaign
of tin- future. It must hi' fortified and

Hoard for the Churches of the Islands is
to he progressive and to realize its possibilities. The task is by no means light and
imposes responsibilities that might well
make any man pause before shouldering
them. I hit they are vital to all our work
The next logical step in the development
of the Christian enterprise in Hawaii is
to lead this great Church to fill till the
promise of its position, its history and
its constituency. That is the burden laid
upon us who an- the heirs of the historic
missionary conquest of these Islands and
such changes in the disposal of men at
our command, as our Master seems to
indicate, are to he viewed from the stand
point of the essential solidarity of the
entire movement. For the work is one.
I'he Hoard and Central Union Church
arc each hut a part of it. Thus leaving
a position in the former for one in the
latter is merely a question of wise adjustment of the resources in hand.
That the change involved in the acceptance of the call from the Church is
the next duty has been made evident first
by the prayer history which has issued
in the summons, second by the spontaneity of the action of the Church,
which, su far as I am aware, voted absolutely without solicitation or urging o*l
the part of anyone, third by the assurances of personal cooperation from men
who have hitherto not been active in its
work, and fourth by the conviction that
it is the Father's will. The policy of the
Hoard has been clearly defined and justified, and its forces are so organized that
the Secretary's office is now largely concerned with details. Expansion is certain because of the deep interest of the
men who compose its membership. It is
therefore a good time to pass the office
over to other hands, and give first attention to leading our strongest Church into

SCUDDER.
DR. SCUDDER AND THE BOARD.
In May, 1902, Dr.
Scudder came to us
as associate with Mr.
O. 11. Oulick in the
Japanese work. It
was not till January,
1904, that he became
secretary and it is
probable that no other three years in the
Board's history have been crowded with
such signs of progress and of promise.
Briefly enumerated, these are some of the
things we owe tinder (iod, to Dr. Scudder's leadership.
The beginning of a better union of the
churches of different nationalities on the
Islands. Although there is much left to
be desired here (due largely to a lack of
appreciation on the part of the Englishspeaking congregations of their privileges and responsibilities as leaders) a
big advance in this particular is a result
of I>r. Scudder's efforts.
The stationing of English-speaking
"bishops" in different parts of the Islands, is almost entirely Dr. Scudder's
work. This is a very wide departure
from the Board's policy, especially in re-
lation to the I lawaiian work. Already
there has been time enough to see splendid results that have effected every side
of the Hoard's enterprise. On Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai the evangelists in the
different languages are associated, encouraged, taught and generalled in the
interests of Christ's Kingdom by these
new leaders.
The Hawaiian Churches
particularly have felt the stimulus and
have responded nobly.
In connection with the foregoing it is
entirely through Dr. Scudder's efforts
that the American Missionary Association has lent so much financial aid to our
undertakings. It has been the $8,000 a
year from that body that has made possible in the securing of trained white leaders for Kona, Maui and Palama and has
added many Japanese and Chinese evangelists to our field.
Incident to this,
through the appeals of the A. M. A., has
been brought about a far wider knowledge of Hawaii and her needs on the
part of Christians on the mainland.
Dr. Scudder has had much to do with
defining the relations of our Board with
the American Board, particularly in the
matter of land.
Having always been
identified with missions he has lent himself to die increased support among Island Churches of the American Board
work. A new zeal that bids fair to be
widespread has sprung up among the Hawaiian Churches.
Having come to us in connection with
work for the Japanese it would not be
surprising if his influence were particularly felt in that department. I laving
had unusual and recent opportunity to
study die Japanese he has been able to
deal with this very sensitive people. The
Makiki Japanese Church has felt his encouragment and suggestion while it may
be said that their new church might not
have b.'en obtained without his aid. The
Japanese Christian Club is his creation,
and whereas it has not won the enthusiastic support of the Japanese yet it has a
fine plant and excellent prospects. The
Kozaki scholarship plan of getting new
evangelists for this field is largely Dr.
Scudder's, and small Japanese boarding
schools in various places have been fostered by him till there are several prospective feeders to the Mid-Pacific Institute.
This brings us to some very vigorous
championing of the Mid-Pacific Institute.
Dr. Scudder has enthusiastically stood in
the fore front of this, the most signally
hopeful Christian enterprise ever fathered
by the Hawaiian Board. What will he
the Board's chief joy and crown is entering upon a career of prosperity already
coming into plain view. Kohala, Maunaolu and Hilo Boarding Schools have
all felt the stimulus of Dr. Scuddcr's
presence and heartily evinced sympathy.
Not to attempt a catalogue of the Doctor's deeds and virtues it were well lo
close with but a reference to the thoroughly changed character of the annual
meeting, as well as the monthly meetings,
of the Hoard. The Association meetings
now arc planned to supply inspiration for
the year. Helpful programs of deep
spiritual significance bear immediately on
island problems. People representing all
our languages H" and jjt't profit. As lor
the Hoard a marked improvement in order as well as great gains in efficiency
are a result of Dr. Scudder's leadership.
The best part of it all is that we are
not to lose him. Contemplating his acceptance of the Central Union paastoratc,
many "f us belonging to both the Church
and the Hi,aril, felt that the interests of
both would be furtherivl by his cnciunbencv. He will not become narrowed by
accepting the leadership in this most important Church. The Islands will still
feel his interest plus the growing interest
of the powerful body of believers, never
fully enlisted before in the cause of Christ
as it is related to the native and foreign
peoples in the Islands.
As for Till-: FXIEND, for which paper
he has dune such effective service as
editor, we gladly hail the prospect of his
riturn to continued leadership.
T. R.
REV. B. V. BAZATA.
The islands lose another man who has
ecu of great benefit to the Churches of
our Protestant community. Mr. Bazata
has been pastor of the Union Church at
I'aia, Maui, about two years, and from
that important center has exerted an influence which has been felt far and wide.
For family reasons, however, he felt that
i
he must return to the coast. After
thorough consultation with his Church
his resignation was accepted and a council of the neighboring Churches was
called on July 11, 1907, to consider and,
if advisable, ratify the action of the pastor and his Church. After a hearty expression of the harmonious feeling existing, the council recognized the necessity
of Mr. Bazata's return to California, and
voted to dissolve the pastoral relationship.

worth for these apparently out of the way

at early dawn Father Gulick and his
little son and three or four canoe men
set sail from Kaluaaha for Lahaina.
Naught but a bird on the wing could
fly more lightly than a single canoe before a fair wind. With the rising of
the orb of day, the breeze freshened
and the flying shell touched lightly the
crests of the rising waves. In a sudden puff of wind over went the outrigger, the canoe was upset, and all were

boy, where was he? Nowhere to be
seen. Down dove Paaluhi, and, freeing the lad from entanglement iv the
ropes of the canoe sail, brought him up
and set him upon the rounding bottom
of the capsized canoe. The aquatic
Hawaiian soon righted the canoe; then
it was discovered that the thin and
frail craft had been cracked from end
lo end by the leverage of the heavy
mast and sail, which belonged to the
double canoe, and which had been borrowed by the canoe men for this trip
only.
Xo headway could he made by paddling a canoe full of water, lor two
or three hours this company of live or
six people were battling hopelessly
with a strong wind and dashing waves,
perhaps six or eight miles from land.
At this point the weary swimmers
descried an open whale-boat, which
three or four hours later than the illfated canoe was crossing from Molokai to Lahama, laden with bundles of
pai-ai (hard |)oi). These boatmen saw
the signal of distress of the wrecked
canoe, bore down for them, and, lightening their load by throwing into the
sea a pari of the cargo of poi, and taking on board the distressed company,
soon landed them safely at Lahaina.
Willi the delicate instruments, and the
superior skill of the good doctor, the
castor-oil bean, source of all this trouble, was soon removed from brother
Thomas' car, and ere many days the

love and sympathy that the older missionary shed on bearing of the watery

knit the American Foard's missionaries

order to give those who desire it. a chance
of fitting themselves for a business life.
Evening classes are invariably conducted
in all subjects, from the teaching of
primary English to the classics. Kindergartens are pari of the equipment of every
well organized Settlement,
Not only is the mind trained, but the
band also, classes in manual work, carpentry, sloyd, dressmaking, weaving,
lace making, etc. In this wav the Settlement is trying lo combat the evil idea
abroad that manual labor is degrading.
"The devil finds some mischief Still, for
idle hands to do." While our ideas about
his Satanic Majesty may have changed.
Ibis saving slill holds good. Given an
untrained, empty and idle mind, it will
lint lake long before it gels into trouble of
one sort or another. Thus in the realm
of education of the mind the Settlement
is doing for that part of man what the
traditional Church has neglected to do.
CO
SOCIAL,
One of the first duties of the Settlement is (he furnishing of clean, healthY
c-njoymenl for the people among whom it
is situated. Man is primarily a social
animal. The form of amusement and recreation merely takes different forms in
different grades of society according to
the training and environment of the people. The club feature is strong in the
Settlement scheme. Besides a social, it
has an educational value. .Athletic clubs
nut only teach a boy clean athletics and
give him a certain'amount of exercise but
also teach him deference to the wish of
others. The boy soon learns in the club
that he is one of a social group and' if he
desires to live in peace and harmony with
Ids group he must learn to give and take.
In (his way he is taught the great lesson
of obedience to the wishes of his fellows
and to the organized forces of government. The Settlement acts as a center
where people of like tastes may meet and
exchange thoughts and ideas and in Ibis
way "help each other on."
(.\)
RELIGIOUS AND MORAL.
This has been placed last as it is really
nut only the culmination of the others,
but also the combination. Not all Settlements have direct religious teaching; they
arc none the less religious in their influence.
In connection with those settlements thai have religious instructions, the
usual methods are employed; Sunday
Schools aud Church services arc held on
Sunday. The people, however, arc prepared f'>r these services and classes by
the work that has been done for them
during the preceding six days. They
come gladly and will dv to hear the
gospel of the Xazarene. This gospel has
lost none of its force to attract and bold
men. The fault is not with the gospel,
but with the method of presentation.
When presented as it is by the Settlement,
not only on Sundays but throughout the
week, its old power and force to draw
men—even in the shuns to it. is as great
as ever.

twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew, when

TEACH THE BIBLE IN
THE DAY-SCHOOL.
HOW TO
By A.
M. Merrill.
As an introduction to what I may have
"How to Teach the
Bible in the Day-school," allow me to say
that I consider the general subject for
discussion at this conference well chosen.
Il is, without doubt, one of the most important problems of this or of any age,
and upon its solution depends the success
of the age, the destiny of the Church as
an organization, and the fate of all social
institutions. 'Hie decay of the races and
ihe doom of the nations whose ruins now
strew the earth was invariably preceded
by and, in fact, caused by their inability
to find an effective solution to the problem of religious and moral education.
And like causes doubtless produce like results.
As to the present age, a review of existing conditions leads us to question the
efficiency of our accepted system of education and to desire a more satisfactory
solution of the problem. The general unrest and increasing discontent among all
classes of society, social disorders, civic
unrighteousness, commercial and industrial conquests, and the struggle for supremacy in all lines of activity and in all
walks of life—these may he the manifestations of
noble aspirations in the
hearts of men, hut they show alarming
symptoms of being undirected or misguided. The spirit of the age is plainly
shown in the educational slogan of the
masses, "Fearn more, earn more," and in
the fact that many institutions of higher
learning have caught the spirit aud aie
emphasizing the utilitarian at the expense of the humanities,
We have come to consider education
in general as susceptible of a well defined
division into (i) Secular Education and
(2) Religious Education. The government schools of many States, by common
consent of the patrons, owing to differ
cnees in religious beliefs and doctrines,
are restricted' to secular education; religious education being left to the Church.
It is evident that live days of systematic
training in strictly secular branches is
quite out of proportion to the one day's
religious training, often unsystematic 01
entirely neglected, and that the resttlt
must be the development of a big head
and a small heart, or keen wits and dull
sensibilities.

and moral theology. The first and second of these may with propriety be left
to the Church, but the third comes well
within ;be scope of popular education and
is absolutely indispensable in the making
of good citizens, which is the prime object of government institutions of learning.
The fear of doctrinal offense in teaching the Bible in the day-school is largely
imaginary. A judicious elimination ol
doctrinal questions, articles of faith, and
all speculative subjects, still leaves a
wonderful volume of most interesting
and most helpful material. There is but
little to inspire doctrinal controversy in
Mililc biograph) or Bible history, in the
decalogue or the Sermon on the Mount,
in the Psalms of David or the ethnical
maxims or practical proverbs of Solomon.
Hut there is abundant material for the
inculcation of all moral virtues, material
suitable for all stages of life, by which
the child may he led by proper and rational step! through his own heroic,
romantic, poetic, and philosophic ages,
with the name of (ioil ringing in his cars,
the thought of (rod lingering in his mind,
and the love of God entering his heart.
The same spirit that inspired the F.ook
and has preserved it through the ages
may be trusted to make its own interpretation to the heart of the child and accomplish that whereunto it was sent.
We arc taught that the life of each individual is an epitome of the history of
the race, and that each stage in the life
of the individual has its corresponding
period in racial history. Whatever has
been of general interest to the human
family, from its birth to the present time,
will be of special interest to the individual while in the corresponding stage of
life. Leading educators during the past
quarter of a century, recognizing this
principle, and believing that the spontaneous interests of the child are the expressions of a stage of life and indicate
fundamental needs and aptitudes, have
spent much time in studying child interests with a view to the more systematic
arrangement of the materials and methods employed in the development of mind
and character. The play interests, literary interests, historical interests, geographical interests, musical interests,
ethical interests, —all have been studied,
and as the years in which the several interests develop and culminate are determined the gradation of lesson materials
is adjusted to meet them.
