Fretr as Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. lie is a man of considerable experience and sound judgment and will attend to the duties of his office carefully, faithfully and earnestly. The greatest part of his life has been spent in these island's. His official position as Chief Justice has given him an excellent opportunity to understand island matters. His sterling integrity, which has been thoroughly proved in the past, assures a continuation of the thoroughly honest administration of affairs It is so easy not to see the stars Behind the darkness which the clouds have brought. Be patient with us Lord, our waywardness Deserves the swift correction of the rod; Bat oh, in tender love of Fatherhood L'nfold to us the truth which comes from God. W. D. W. It is no slight thing for Hon. John G. Woolley to forsake the green pastures and larger flocks of the central United States to make his home for a time in �4 I lis life has been preeminently that of a reformer for mam years. In recognition of acknowledged ability he was made the candidate of the Prohibition party for President of the United Stales. His literary acquirement! procured for him the highest degree conferred upon scholarly men, that of Doctor of Laws, lie comes now to an entirely new field and one which cannot give an enthusiastic response to the tine thought and eloquent periods which have attracted crowds of bearers in the past. Outside of Central Union Church there are no large congregations. Only handfuls of English speaking people can be gathered together in the outside towns and districts. There will be deep-seated appreciation, but the response to burning thoughts must come from individuals rather than from crowds. Mr. W'oolley will take a prominent place on the editorial force of The Friend and will conduct a Temperance Depart nient which will glisten with suggestive the Hawaiian Islands. THE FRIEND for a renewal of his license refused on account of the proximity to the kinderfallen. But he wants to get in his blows Inst so he protest- against the kindergarten, lie seems to thmk that the school demoralizes tM customers of his saloon. So he says "he cannot stand the behavior of the children on the opposite side <>f the street. While he could endure the noises from the drunken people in his saloon, lie will not tolerate any noise at all from the opposite side.' The man is apparently honest in thinking that a saloon should be protected from those who would prepare a counter attraction to keep the children out of the doors of bis den, worth while to look back over the years which have passed since the Board was organized' and note the path it has traveled and its slopping places before finding its permanent home. 'Hie llawaiians who are interested in the Hoard's work compare the different places in which the Hoard's meetings have been held to the seven days of the week. Thus the Sabbath typifies the time when anxiety and unrest are over and the permanent day of rest is found. The senior member of the Board, our revered Dr. Bingham, says that the first gatherings of the members was June a3i HI the old Mission school house in the Kawaiahao Church grounds, south of the Mission cemetery. This is one of the oldest mission buildings in the islands and was occupied by the school which Mrs. Bingham I Dr. Binghams' mother) taught for years. It was also the place where the annual meetings of the missionaries were held This property belongs to Kawaiahao Church. The officers elected at that fust meeting were: President, Rev. Titus Coan ; Vice-President, Dr. (i. P. Judd; Corresponding Secretary, Rev. L. 11. Gultck; Recording Secretary, Rev. E. W. Clark: Treasurer, E. O. Hall: Auditor, J, P.artlett. In 1867 the Hoard was holding its meetings in the lower story of the old book binder) which stood on what are now the ground's in front of the southern portion of Kawaiahao Seminary. From these quarters the Hoard moved to a coral stone building west of the old mission house known as "The Chamberlain House." This building was later a part of the first store of Castle ft Cooke. Rev. A. ( ). Forties became the corn' gponding secretary and persuaded the iard to build him a dwelling house on Beretania street in which to carry on the Hoard's work. A small cottage was erected in the grounds for the papers, books ami meetings. This building was some distance from the center of the city —hence only the regular meetings were held' there as a rule and the called special meetings in different places near the business offices.

When the Japanese government purchased the half of the block in which the Hoard rooms were situated for use by its consular offices, the Hawaiian Hoard was without a home. Mr. P. C.

One of these is rented and one is used as a sales room for the books ot W, D. W. the Board. if the public of thoughtful men insists that Mr. Campbell has only stated dearly and frankly what others had apparently not though through. Then the adventurous spirit of man will try sonic other way of retaining the ethical and .esthetic value of Christianity while rejecting its historical facts and its characteristic doctrines. This I venture to think is going to be the chief function of Mr. Campbell's book. Signs are not wanting that already writers, who had triumphantly used (he phrase, "The New Theology" in expounding their own ideas of the immanence of Cod, are being driven back by Mr. Campbell's fearless exposition of his deductions from it. to make fresh con liections with the Christian consciousness.--( Rev. W. D. .Mackenzie. 1). D„ in Hartford : and deep experience, assertions which could not have produced that experience nor glorified those centuries. But at last a zealous champion, more zealous than discreet, states the bare facts. He authoritatively, officially commits the whole "school" to its conclusions, or to the explicit statement of doctrines which had been involved in its characteristic method from the beginning of its story. Such a book will usually be found to end that particular phase of thought. For any man after that to wear that title, as this one of "The Xew Theology." is equivalent to avowing himself a follower, say. of Mr. Campbell. It will be hard indeed after that to say, "I accept the \'ew Theology, but not Mr. Campbell's," Seminary Record.) LA IBERAL'S OPINION OF "HIGHER CRITICS." CHIEF FUNCTION OF CAMPBELL'S "NEW THEOLOGY." Sometimes a book with a bold title begins a real new movement of thought. This cannot be claimed for the work entitled "The New Theology." by Rev. Reginald J. Campbell of the City Temple, London. The movement with which the author identities himself had already been familiar for about fifteen to twenty years. Various writers in England and America had been shouting the phrase to each other, like wanderers in a mist looking for the road homewards, to keep up each other's courage. Sometimes a book which professes to interpret a movement thoroughly, ends it. The real tendency latent in the premises from which it starts becomes revealed in the frank statement of conclusions which only the enemies had hitherto attributed to it. These inferences had oftentimes been denied or they had been accepted with softening phrases and hazy modifications. Attempts had been made to retain the virtues of the old in the clothing of the new, to hallow with the sacred associations of long centuries 5 Professor Shailer Mathews is a distill guished member of the "liberal" school if theologians so prominent in Chicago University. To a great extent he accept? the conclusions of the critics respectine the ''id Testament, and considers their methods correct. < >nc is tlierefore glad to find him rejecting the allegation that the Gospel has been destroyed by such criticism as applied to the New Testament. Referring particularly to the testimony of the Apostles to the Bodil) Resurrection of Jesus, he says of the in •rcdiilous "critics": "'These conclusions ire not likely to prevail except among those who live in the highest altitude of the anti-supcrnaturalisni." "Tin- real difficulty is that such critics use as criteria nf their normative processes certain pre suppositions and ingenious guesses, as to what things are not and cannot be." 'Translating this into simpler English, Prof. Mathews means that these "advanced critics" are not governed by a plain and reasonable system of judgment. They are governed by a settled and fixed opinion that anything supernatural is necessarily imaginary and untrue. 'Thus they arrive at ungrounded and false con elusions. Instead of being, as they sup pose, wise and discerning judges of the truth, they follow deluding phantasms and become misleading and "destructive critics." Neither in the (lid Testament or the New, are the fanciful and fantastic conclusions of (these fallacious critics going to stand, however ingenious ma\ be their inventions to destroy the historical truth of the Bible. This is not saying that these industrious and ingenious searchers into the history and details of the Bible literature have not made important and valuable discoveries. Hut the false and truly irrational principle which is the guiding star of most of them has led them deplorably and fatally astray. That false principle is, as said above, that nothing purporting to be miraculous or supernatural can possibly be historically true. Into whatever vogue the "higher critic- ism" may ha\e grown among our American scholars.—and it is very great—it is .loomed to a certain and discreditable fall. The Hibli—with doubtless many human imperfections, being largely the work of man—is the Record of Cod's long and gracious personal interposition, by means of Miracle and Revelation, for the purpose <>f enlightening and saving His wayward and ignorant children on Earth. That glorious and gracious rec ird will continue to stand for our ligl t in,| comfort, when the fanciful dream 111 he '"Critics" have been forgotten. S. E. H. > THE GOOD MAN IS MY MAN. Kamehamcha 111 was a king gifted in epigrams. "Debt is a moth and nun is a poison god," is very forcible when .>.<• recall the historical fact that the early chiefs laid away many pieces of cloth received in return for sandalwood only to find them quickly destroyed by moths. The king learned that debt was as dc tractive to his prosperity as the moth -as to the cloth of his ancestors. Then he remembered Kalaipahoa- the poison god the reputed most powerful destroy Ile saw the destruction /r of his people. wrought to home and business and life by rum. Therefore he put the axiom: •Rum is a poison god." Pike unto this crisp wisdom is the saying which he applied to the choice of men for public office. He was beset by applicants. For the men of Hawaii loved office then even as they love it today. Influence was used for the appointment of certain persons. Kaineliaincha. however, to the surprise of his court, appointed other men. "Why did'you do this?" was the question. 'The answer came back giving the best principle upon which to base electoral ballots: "'The good man is my man." The day for the selection of party nominees is near at hand. Party leaders are even now preparing the slate for precinct action. A good campaign slogan for any party, especially strong in its influence among the native voters, backed up by honest effort, would be the king's cry: "The good man is mv man." W. D. W. �6 THE TRUE BASIS OF SOCIAL REFORM. Although known as-very "liberal" in hie theology, Prof. Shailer Mathews pre SCStta the following impressive contribu lions to Social Wisdom and Reforming efficiency: "The gospel of the risen Christ is also the gospel of regenerate men building the eternal life into a ft a ternity that must some day include all so cial relations." "Regenerate men are the only materials out of which to construct regenerate society." We believe that this is a most fundamental truth. 'The deep, corroding evils pervading society can only be relieved by the healing of a multitude of sin diseased souls and making them iudi vidua! centers of reforming and refining power among their diseased and per verted fellow men. Society cannot be up lifted ill the mass, nor its corruptions cured as a whole.

'The Gospel of Christ bears the same testimony. < tur Lord Jesus closed his earthly life by dashing himself unflinchingly against the evil-doing of the proud leaders, and by bis truss healing testimony against the evil thing w Inch Cod abhorred. His death is the Divine Witness against the Wickedness of Sin. Let the Church ever maintain like test! mom. S. E. H. TAHITI AND HAWAIKI. A word sometimes outgrows itself and becomes large of meaning beyond all thai legitimately belongs to it. It becomes an inclusive word. This has been recognized as true concerning the use in the I la waiian Islands of the word "Tahiti," or as it is usually spelled "Kahike." Tahiti hundreds of years ago meant the same island as that which bears the same name today. The sea rovers from Hawaii went to Tahiti and returned even as from Samoa and the larger island groups toward the south. After several hundred years the mists of fable gathered around the slories which were handed down from generation to generation, until all for •ign lands received the general name Ka Prof. Mathews also sounds a deep fundamental note of Gospel wisdom in farther asserting that there is "need of a hiki. The New Zealand legends concerning sturdy insistence upon the sinfulness id sin." "'The pulpit has partly abandoned Hawaii under the name llawaiki. have attempts to arouse moral discontent in the human soul, and has been giving prominence to congratulatory descriptions of men as the sons of ( !od. Adiuir able as Ibis hopefulness regarding hu inanity may be, it will be a sad day for society if its moral teachers undertake to widen the straight gate and broaden the nariow way." "Society needs to be con vinced afresh of the elemental distinction between evil and good." "Knowledge is not virtue, and art is not righteousness." We feel that the emphasis placed by the "Xcvv 'Theology" upon the "Father hood of God" and tin- "Brotherhood of Man" has not escaped the damaging evil of minimizing the poisonous and con laminating qualities of Sin. While our God is a bather of tender compassion ami outreaching mercy, He is Holy, and cannot regard iniquity without aversion and condemnation. While men are made to be brethren and to love one another, yet there is contamination and poisoning with the morally leprous and unclean. Lot could not take his family to dwell in Sodom without their being In consorting poisoned and ruined. It is neither wis dotn or truth to set forth the amiable and pleasing facts of morality ami religion, and be reserved about the facts that are stern and dark.

The legends almost indiscriminate!) refer to llawaiki. Hut it was evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to the original home of the Polynesians in the region around the Straits of Sunda from which they were driven out by the Malays who conquered and dispersed them Over lite Pacific ocean, It was also evident that llawaiki sometimes referred to islands nearer New Zealand and to later migrations. The New Zealand writers have taken the word llawaiki as meaning one place from which the various migrations have come -and they find much difficulty in finding any place to correspond with the conditions of the various legends, It is a simple suggestion which, perhaps, we of the Hawaiian Islands have no right to make to the scholars of \ew Zealand and vet there seems to be no reason win the Word llawaiki should not be "inclusive."

THE WORLD'S FIFTH SUNDAY SCHOLCONVENTION. BY REV. E. B. TURNER. Rome, Italy, May 1007. There are a few experiences in some lives, that, beggaring description, statu I forth unique. The recent Sunday School Convention held in Rome was one ol these. And not the least asset of this experience, was the inspiring and subsequent trip through (lie Holy Land and Egypt. The purpose of this article is simply to report the Sunday School Convention the greatest Sunday School gathering in the history of the world. — Tor five days nearly [,300 delegates, countries, representing 4<> dc nominations delegates whose mileage would average nearly 9,00a miles met in the imposing Methodist building, with its large audience rooms for both American and Italian services, its college class rooms and doniitories, its offices, apartments and tine printing establishment. This splendid institutional center is prov ing to be a lighthouse which sheds its benignant rays over all of Italy. 'There was only one keynote of this world's convention and that was expressed over and over again—"'The Sunday School and the Great Commission." 'The SundaySchool must be the greatest missionary and evangelizing force in the world. This thought took concrete form near the close of the convention when occurred the most epoch-making event since the inauguration of the International System of Sunfrom 37 13 (lay School Lessons a generation ago. money were contributed to their work.

As he �THE FRIEND 14 concluded three cheers were given for the Garibaldis. Hon. Lloyd Grisoom, the American Ambassador to Italy, was then presented. Mr. Criscom is only in the thirties and is said to be the youngest ambassador in history. Mr. Criscoin said that he was like Paul, an ambassador in bonds, but different in this, that he was to keep the peace. He heartily welcomed his fellow Americans to Rome, and generously invited all the delegates from every land, to an afternoon reception at the Embassy. Mr. E. K. Warren, of Michigan, the President of the convention, then read a characteristic letter of greetings from one whom he called the great Peacemaker of the World—'Theodore Roosevelt. On Sunday afternoon G. Campbell Morgan preached the convention sermon front Mark 10:13-10, which he called, "The King's charter to all such as name his name and are called to serve him among the children." "Wherever you find men and women," he cried, "in whom the flame of desire for the coining of the Kingdom of God burns, you will find men and women who have time for children and care for them. The whole five days were crowded vv ith addresses by famous Christian leaders and' by Sunday School experts and missionaries from all quarters of the globe. Delegates from nearly all the principal countries of the world spoke for their respective fields. The writer had the honor of addressing the convention upon the subject of Hawaii. In many fields Sunday School work is yet in its infancy, and is carried on under the greatest difficulties. In Belgium there are only 2,300 scholars enrolled in the schools ; in Portugal, 1,750; in Tunis, 2,000; in Bulgaria, 3,000: in Spain, 6,500; in Egypt, 11,391. In many other countries the SundaySchools are growing rapidly. In Japan there are 64,000 in the schools; in France, 67,000; in India, 300,000; in Germany, in Creat Britain, 2,250,000 in free church schools, and 7,000,000 altoegther, hut not all are affiliated with the association. Last comes America with about 14,000,000. In making his report, Mr. William N. Hartshorn, the Chairman of the International Committee, said in part: "I am to speak for the army of the 14,000,000 Sunday School workers in the United" States. Our God whopi we worship is none other than the Lord God of Israel. Our creed, the Sermon on the Mount. Our practice, the twelfth of Romans. Our spirit, that of the Christ. Our purpose, that of service." 000,000; One of the most remarkable features of the entire convention was the remarkable exhibit of Sunday School publications and appliances which had been painstakingly prepared by l>r. C. R. Blackall of Philadelphia. Every paper, book, map or appliance was mounted, plainly displayed for study. 'The periodicals represented a total output of nearly 500,000,-000 pieces of printed matter in a year. 'There were 1,260 pieces from state and provincial organizations, 479 specimens of Bibles in various languages, 563 copies of books, portraying the latest Sunday School methods and the history of the great movement. Ami' the best thing about this fine exhibit was that at the close of the convention, it was all given away, gratis, to the different missionary countries of the world where organized Sunday School work is comparatively new. It w Jas Hawaii's good fortune to receive a large box of this most interesting and helpful material. Perhaps the most unique service of the convention was held in the ruins of the famous Colosseum on the afternoon of the last day. ( )f com se, we bad been told that such a religious meeting could not he held in the Colosseum, but in Christian service, as in the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such thing as fail. There, where the Christians were thrown to the lions and suffered martyrdom in great numbers, there, after eighteen centuries, assembled Christians from nearly every nation, to sing the praises of the Father (iod, whose worship the Caesars thought they were destroying forever. The World's Fifth Sunday School Convention taught many lessons. It taught that henceforth this branch of the Master's Kingdom must be more evangelistic and missionary in its character and that it must reach out to the boys and girls, the 'men and women of benighted lands. It taught that there must be a greater spirit of devotion on the part of all officers, teachers and scholars, the world over. Some one said to Miss Carihaldi: "You ought to feel very proud that you are a granddaughter of the great general." "I am," she said, "but I am prouder still that I am a teacher in the Sunday School." Would to God that that same pride would enter all our Hawaiian Christians. Although Honolulu was one of the cities to offer itself for the next World's Convention in 10,10, it is probable that either Washington, D. C, or Tokio, Japan, will capture the rich prize.
