During the recent visit of Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte in Honolulu, the story of Nauru was told by the former in Central Union Church, which some two years ago guaranteed the support of these missionaries on the occasion of the Nauru Mission being taken over by the American Hoard.

The ground Boor of the building has been pressed into service and is stocked with a very attractive collection of religious books, hesides a goodly array of general literature. Christmas is in tlic air and a very lively patronape has already been developed. People are finding out that the Hoard has exactly what they need in so many lines that the Rooms are being incrcasinßlv resorted to for convenience of meetitiß. They arc been'nning to wear the appearance and to achieve the reputation of a general religious headquarters. All of this is very and effieratifviiiß to our busy Treasurer cient Manaßcr.

The Manchuria of November I brought Miss Margaret Ellen Eoltz to complete the working force of Wailuku Settlement. Miss Eoltz has to her'credit two years in Hamlin University, St. Paul, one year in Marquette, Michigan, Normal School, and one year in the Seattle Kindergarten Training School, the diploma of which she holds. She has taught one year in the Seattle Presbyterian Church Kindergarten and one year in the public school of Woolley, Wasliinptoii. She comes to Alexander House full of eagerness for the work in that busy center. Names to Remember. This community is not likely to forget that Supervisors Archer, Cox, Dwight and Kealoha voted to place in a responsible office Mr. Brown who was rejected last year at the polls after a strenuous contest. His conduct of that office is lx'ing closely watched. If the record achieved be honorable, due public credit will be given. If the intimation made in the daily press be borne out that cases are being nolle prossed which should he prosecuted, the facts must come to light and the voters will know whom to hold responsible. Chairman Hustace of the Board of Supervisors, is proving himself faithful to his trust and a public servant worthy of popular confidence. Heartier cooperation on his part with the police department under the public-spirited leadership of Colonel laukea would have placed his record well above criticism. Meantime it should be added that no better document for the training of citizens has appeared in our daily press than the recent interview of Chief of Police laukea in the Advertiser of November 16th. It should be translated' into the Hawaiian language, together with the endorsement of Kamehameha Ill's great saying: "The Rood man is my man," and sent to every Hawaiian voter in the Islands. William Kent. The visit to Honolulu of this well known municipal reform leader wdio believes in "getting down in the mud under the automobile" in political campaigns for civic righteousness, was all too short. He was heard only twice in public, once at Central Union Church under the auspices of the Civic Federation, and again before the Civic Committee of the College Club. Those who had the good fortune to hear him will not soon forget the impression made by coming into touch with a man who has fought his way through a great historic campaign to one of the most notable victories our nation has known. Much is to be learned by good THE FRIEND. citizens in Honolulu from this experienced fighter. The very first principle of successful battling for honest city government as laid down by Mr. Kent is independent voting. I lis dramatic scoring of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for interference in the Cleveland mayoralty contest, conditioned upon the truth of their reported interference, was the most dramatic incident in Mr. Kent's addresses. The strong insistence laid by him upon the necessity for good men playing politics for all it is worth, so long as it be clean politics for the public weal, is the kind of message needed in this city. It is worth while living in an age that is producing such leaders as William Kent who, tho' having great wealth, do not give themselves to leisure but throw all their energies into conflicts whose end is the safcßttarding of the people's rights. Mr. Kent had much to say about communal property. It will not be long before the property of the people in mines, forests, public franchises anil increment in value due to movements of population will he restored to its owners the world over without any suspicion of socialism. In fact, it is becoming quite clear that such restoration of ownership is entirely distinct from this form of political philosophy. It will, however, always be the boast of socialists that the holders of their theories were the first to popularize these truths which slowly but surely arc winning their way. Mr. Kent's address in Central Union Church dwelling on these points and makiiiß them clear was both timely and helpful. We hope he will visit Honolulu again and Rive us more of his experience D. S. MAN'S SUDDEN EVOLUTION A MIRACLE. Genesis tells us that God created Man in His own Image near the close of the Sixth Creative Period or "Day." That is known in Geology as the "Tertiary Period," covering especially the appearance of Mammalia. Evolutionary Science coincides with Geology and Genesis in placing Man at the close of Creation, telling us also the line of his descent from pre-existing animals. Both Biology and Embryology distinctly reveal the indubitable fact that Man is directly descended from the Arboreal Apes, animals most remotely distinguished from Man in habits and capacities. Hut herein is a wonderful Miracle. While possessing many remarkable features of unmistakable identity with these tree-leaping ancestors, Man exhibits an extraordinary difference and superiority, both in kind and dcßrcc of faculty. With marked traces of Pithecoid nature, He is that beast transformed into a creature Kingly, even Divine. The crouching quadruman has become the erect Iliman. the Homo Erectus and Sapiens. The low and' narrow brow has expanded into a Royal Dome of Thought. The bestial feature, the feeble chin have Rrown into the human beauty of type. The dumb or chattcriiiß Ape has become Man of multiplex speech. The unreasoniiiß, unteachable brute becomes inventive, proprcssive, kingly Man. Put this enormous change in aspect, in quality, in capacity, was attained by a single leap, and not by any slow lapse of time in Rradual changes, such as Natural, unaided Evolution requires. Herein is the marvellous Miracle, disclosing the Creator's direct interposition. Natural processes of Evolution by ordinary LEPER CHRISTMAS. agencies necessitate enormous periods of time to produce the required changes.

Beckwith, I'hunasCo., Cal., Nov. 8, 1907. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, Honolulu, Hawaii. Dear Sir: ()n a perfect day in the autumn of iux>s when the canoe birches hung their yellow leaves over the placid waters of crystal lakes and the ripe pumpkins glowed through the rails of the farm fences, I chanced to walk from Lakeville through the foothills of the Rerkshires on a 15-mile jaunt to Cornwall. On reaching this little quaint Connecticut village I found that my friends, the Metcalfs, had left for New Haven the day before. A The Chinese work in Wailuku is hava Rood degree of prosperity. With the opening of the new year Mr. Tarn Wa Chang took charge of the Chinese school, The succeeding Mr. Ho Kwai Tak. school is prospering under his care, and has an enrollment of twenty-five. Thereis a good spirit, all working with earnest- ing ness. OF THE TOMB OF OBOOKIAH. WAILUKU ITEMS. Mr. Tani Wa Chang has an evening school in the Chinese language for the young men. The Sunday School and church services are well attended. There has been a beautiful spirit of Christian fellowship between the Chinese and Japanese churches, as its members have met together at the Communion services, and in a social way. The time has come to extend still more a spirit of helpfulness to our Japanese friends. Miss Turner is now devoting a portion of her time to the Japanese women, meeting with them in their homes for the study of English. Three evenings of each week are given at the Alexander House Settlement, being especially devoted to the study of English for the Japanese, Koreans and Portuguese. A number of Portuguese have recently arrived to work on the plantation, and are eager to learn English. i'he mornings are given to the Chinese women in their homes for the study of English. There are five interested in this. A Chinese merchant and his bride are giving two mornings of each week for this purpose. Regular visits are made in the homes of the various nationalities. The second and last Wednesday of each month, a meeting is held at the different homes of the Chinese, with Scripture lessons from the Picture Chart. The picture is left in the home as a reminder of the lesson, and also to bring something of cheer to the bare and unattractive OBOOKIAH search in the graveyard on the hillside failed to reveal to me the object of my expedition—the grave of the native boy Obookaiah, SO renowned' in the Christian history of the Islands, but cut off so suddenly in the prime of life in this foreign land. On my subsequent return to New Haven I had a good talk with Mrs. Metcalf, the wife of a prominent New Haven dentist, who was a Miss Boyd and is a distant cousin of my mother. The Metcalfs own and use as a summer residence the old mission school house at Cornwall, Conn. Of course, it has been remodeled since the time when our Obookaiah was there and received instruction in it.

The crux of the social problem is that the moral leadership is on the lookout for something easy, and two per cent, a month, rather than for what is right at any cost. It says, for instance, that men will get drunk. That is as false as it is silly. Men do what they are taiißht to 'lo and only what they arc taught to do. Men will not get drunk when sober, stroiiß, imlempted, kindly Christian citizens stop teaching them to do it, by the loose, base infidelity of that assumption, bad example, and the heartless, senseless laws thai sell the birth right of the children for a mess of dishonorable ease This country (leaned t and dirty revenue. muddy pool at best. The statement as unpatriotic as ii is p-icillauimnus. Politics will tend lo be as clear as mountain springs, when Christian men shall carry into it the same high ideals i hat govern their personal conduct in lla home and the ( hnrch. The Hat truth is that the sliding scale of virtue that has one standard for the prosperous and another for the poor; one standard for women and another for men: one standard for the home, another for the counting room and still another for the election and that has ham strung municipal government in America, is the ripe fruit of cowardice. < >nc hates to be eccentric.

The trouble with Sodom was inside of it. The Lots were complaisant because they were well bred, busy, selfcentered and prosperous, their children were marrying well and they really felt tli.it for the body politic to slough at its lower extremities was no serious matter to the head and shoulders. Then in time, their moral arteries hardened so that they bad to shirk hard duty in order to avoid excitement. Lot himself, the head of the family and set, fidl so into the habit of buying off calamity, that he won and still holds the record as the weakest, meanest compromiser in the world. When the commissioners of God came to his house and the mob gathered to insult them, or abuse them, he, a citizen of the covenant, a nephew of Abraham, the father of a family, the man of wealth and power, the host of divine messengers, instead of standing forth It says politics is man fashion and saying, "These are 7 angels from God, and my Riiests.

Sodom fought her alien enemies, but her internal Foes were only winked at, prayed at, preached at and permitted lo sound the key note of the city life. I am not railing at anybody, nor meddling with what is none of my business, I include myself in every stricture uttered or suggested here, and I admit fully and freely that there is no one remedy that will cure all of our social ills. Hut I dare to say that the sine qua nan of our municipal problem is that we do something to extract the snivel from (he voice of the "good" element, so that whin it speaks it will be respected. The way to do it :s evident and the means of doing it, close, ready, importunate for employment. The good man must go about and stand away for his high side in politics. The spasmodic uprisings that have characterized his efforts at bet ter government will not do. He must go in t<> stay and to win. The Chrislian voter is Ihe clutch by which the Church, the best and greatest of institutions, gears to die social machinery, lie must stop slipping on the shaft and hold, or break. This is a remarkably tit and needy community for testing out the suggestion. The heredity is magnificent. There is no environment. It is about to inaugurate a municipal government. At present the outlook favors a dynasty of beach-combers, in spite of the fact that, of the white residents, a very large majority are men of probity, influence and substance, and that the natives are very hospitable to high ideals and good examples, but more or less unstable and therefore in need of and entitled to a strong, steady upward pull of the good whites.

The history of this Territory is rich in illustrations of the good man in politics, and such illustrations are by no means absent now, but the heroism that conies out in a revolution is greatly out of proportion to the common, daily altruism of these peaceful times. The good man of large private affairs must turn his hand to public business. The idle rich man must sentence himself to hard labor for the common weal. The ten thousand dollar man must take office at two thousand. The grip of the beach-comber must be broken. And to that end there must he direct primaries, and the liquor traffic which is the breeding ground of pathogenic politics must he abolished. The blind pig is much less destructive than the p'g with good eyes. It is almost an affront in this presence to say so trite a thiiiß as this, that permanent party lines are a constant menace to pure democracy. Mr. Os- trogorski in his Rreat book on"The Rise of Political Parties," has shown this, with a clearness that amounts to demonstration, and such lines form the run way that will guide this electorate into the same quagmire where the mainland cities arc floundering. The green goods man of municipal politics always gets his vile output into currency with the stamp of party regularity. That mighty lever of public exploitation will be broken, when good men refuse to be herded and branded, but rather enter each campaign in new alignment as befits a growing intelligence and conscience under democratic forms. Safety and success are along the line of individual righteousness and independence; and untrammeled and unfoolcd and bravely led, the majority is always on the right side. The voice of the people is the voice of a vants despise the family. yiiu (2) A mud- dy headed citizenship that can be satistied and Stultified with sops, or jobs, or public works; (3) poisoning the wells of civic integrity by giving vice a posi- tion of legitimacy and respectability, (4) The abdication of the people to political parties that profit by the decay and death of public spirit, and scale political ideals down from the nobler to the baser levels. Bossisffl is a thought killer. Materialism is a patriotism killer. Legalized vice is a conscience killer. Partyism is a courage killer. For our futile and villainous police forces, for our weakling and darkling city councils, for the Platts and Crokers and Murphys and Hraytons and Durhama and Coxes and Ruefs and such, the good men of New York, Providence, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and San Erancisco are responsible. What the whole country needs above all is game good men. I have not exaggerated the difficulty nor the need, lint this paper would be very lop-sided if I failed to add in conclusion, a word of cheer for the face of the sky this evening. It is going to be nasty weather for politicians of the old regime, "hut the righteous shall hold on his way and the hands that are clean shall grow stronger and stronger." CENTRAL, UNION CHURCH HER NEW LEADER. AND 'Ihe most conspicuous miracle of the last aroused the faith and enlarged the vision of the Christian Church throughout century, which the world was the transformation of the Hawaiian Islands under the leadership of a noble hand of American Board missionaries.

A man horn of missionary parentage, graduated from Vale University, of ex- tended experience in missionary work in Japan, mil pastoral work in Ihe Stales, and for the pas| three anil a half years, as Secretary of the Hawaiian Hoard, coming into the closest personal and sympathetic relations with the people and churches of all the various nationalities represented in these Islands, his election to this position of leadership is hailed with delight from every quarter. The services woe held on the afternoon and evening "f Wednesday, Nov. 20th. The Council was composed of the churches of the various races connected with Oalui Association and in addition a few of the leading churches of the oilier Islands, together with a large number of ministers, a number of whom belong to sister denominations. Rev. W. IJ. W'cstervclt was chosen Moderator, and Rev. K. 15. Turner Scribe. Everyone present at the afternoon service held for the examination of the candidate must have been impressed with the lari'e and interested assemblage of men,—men of several nationalities, men of various denominations, busy men who in the busy time of the day had left office and store to assemble and raise their voices in unanimous approval of the choice of Dr. Scudder as the pastor of this church. �THE FRIEND Dr. Scudder was here called upon to present Council a statement of his religious faith aud experience, which he did in an address which was an inspiring presentation of his religious experience and conviclioiis anil in a spirit that commanded the reverent attention of all.

Forty-sue children arc now present against 05 perhaps a year ago. A regular church of the Christian denomination has lapsed, the chapel being now called limply "a mission." A recent call upon the founder and manager of the institution made me .sorrowful lor the outlook of the orphanage feature, since no new children arc being sought in spite of the recent new equipment and government aid. The "mission" is to the lore, with four women and one man, who claim to live without visible means of support, even as they dispense with the services of physicians. Divine healing, it is claimed, needs no action on our part, although a physician is called for the children under certain conditions because of the "say of the world." I was assured that the orphans were given school and other necessary instruction, but inasmuch as it is said that there would be no regret if the orphans all found homes or were removed, we cannot help feeling that there is .something lacking. Those in charge of an orphanage should be enthusiastic for their work and set an example of sound reasoning, neatness, and high purpose. Much or all of the plant has been furnished by Miss Heard, but an orphanage is a semi-public institution, and as this one has sought public Support and is incorporated in this Territory, we are informed, it may be time for its directors or trustees to investigate that for which they have assumed responsibility.

I wish to disclaim any originality in the ideas or figures presented in this paper. Hut the fads are so important that we cannot afford to ignore them. A child reared in a careful home, with simple food, regular meals, regular hours of sleep. plenty of work and play in the open air, will naturally grow to be a healthy man or woman. Naturally, Ihe reverse is true. Poor food, meals at all hours, irregular sleep, idleness, poor air, will tend to lead to weak manhood and womanhood. Dr. Osier says that 12,000,000 people in our country have tuberculosis and that one in every twelve of these will die of the disease 1,000,000 people to die of one dread disease. Not only thai, but thousands of others will be infected from them. Who can estimate the value of a human life? Economists state that each life is worth $1,000 to the community. One million people represents nearly seven times Ihe population of the entire Hawaiian group, and this number of residents of the United States must die in this generation of tuberculosis alone. Of our population about one-fifth are in our schools. These young people have their full share of infection. We try to develop their minds, we give some attention to their physical development, and we ought to do all that can he done for their hygienic development. A small beginning has been made. Some few schools have classes, more or less desultory, in ••first aid to the injured," text-book physiology, but very little real serious work is done. It is of the greatest importance to have our young people protected against avoidable injuries, against diseases that can he stemmed, against infection, against mental and physical suffering 100 often caused simply by ignorance of the bodily condition. — The services of a physician as such have recenty been utilized in education. Sweden took the lead in 1832. Medical inspection was not introduced in this country till much later. Boston led, I think, in 1890, Philadelphia in 1892, Chicago in 1806, and New York in 1897. In the State of Massachusetts only 14 cities outside of Boston have as yet introduced the system of medical inspection. (This was true No a year ago. I have no later statistics.) other state has done more than Massachusetts. Medical inspection of schools should follow at least five main lines: 1. The examination of all pupils for infectious and contagious diseases. 2. The examination of all pupils for impaired eyesight, defective hearing, skin eruptions, and for venereal diseases. 3. The examination of the sanitary and hygenic condition of all school buildings, inonly side and out, equipment, the grounds, sewer- age system, and ihe water system. 4. A close inspection of the homes from which the pupils come—the better lo determine the influences of environment upon the pupil. 5. The employing of school nurses to treat minor ailments and to watch all who are or should be under special treatment. Many of the worst diseases arc spread through the mediums of the school, in the close association necessary. We have a healthy fear of scarlet fever, smallpox, and diphtheria, and pay some regard to measles. Hut very little attention is paid, as a rule, to mumps, whooping cough, syphilis and kindred diseases, lonsilitis, tuberculosis, head lice, ring worm, itch and the like. Much of the danger of contagion from these diseases could be avoided if proper medical inspection was given. The eyesight and hearing of many pupils are affected from very slight causes which proper medical would easily cure, neglected the child becomes abnormal and often incurably diseased. The teachers can do something, but not having special medical training themselves treatment and lacking the authority to examine, the real burden cannot be laid on them. At the best they but cooperate. And this I believe all will most willing to do. The cost of medical inspection would be be found The committee makes six definite recommend- ation: i. A thorough physical examination of every child ill every school in the United States. The attention of the family physician and i. parent! called to the defects found, A careful "follow up" canvass, and negliparents forced lo give their children proper medical attention. 4. Reexamination at stated intervals, all children applying for such certificates 10 receive a physical examination. 5. Health and tenement laws enforced, hours of labor restricted, dangerous trade, regulated, and ihe abuse of women and children prevented. 6. The course of study in public schools should not product nor aggravate physical defects, and a good system of hygiene should be impressed upon every child ill school. 1he committee declare that medical examination is cheaper than the schooling of a child who takes two years to do the work of one year. Free medical and free dental treatment should be given all school children. 3. gent PERLEV 1.. IIOKN'T. con- SOME PRESENT CONDITIONS IN siderable.

( Mhervvise the gift itself is probably of little real value—just measured by a dollars and cents standard, as dead as so much metal, that passes over the counter. Now we don't supply all the thought. We are limply agents for thoughtful publishers, whose thought shows up in prettily dressed books, quaint ideas and conceptions, helpful things for children, real mental food for grown-up people,— intellectually grown-up. The man of the family wants something of this lasl kind.

Just how we can help out if its a question of the lady of the house, is an- other matter,—not so difficult, perhaps, as she may not be so hard to please. "She has babies." Illess her! Did she ever see "Baby's Journal," with a record for first tooth, first words,—or alleged words? Pirst step, etc. That's fun and psychology and maternal pride all delightfully blended. How is "Cooking for Two?" It suggests two stages of the lady's life, before she had any babies and after they have gotten their wings and flown out of the home nest. If she likes novels, we have some of the best, —not "all of the latest novels,"— from which claim we respectfully pray to be exculpated. We can suit her in a number of ways, unless perchance she happen to be a devotee of bridge whist, in which case we will have to please her through her children. "What! a set of Encyclopedias for the children ?" Aye, and one they can read and from which they can get some information when their teachers ask for a composition, —an essay, if you like,—on —on everything under the sun. The price of Encyclopedias used to be prohibitive. Not so with Nelson's. Come and sec how little you need to pay for as complete a set as one could wish. As to stories. There arc Bible stories (that is our specialty, of course), and good ones are in demand,—as well as other good Sunday reading. The Children's Handy Library, Golden Hour Scries, Sunshine Library are all good, but none quite so good perhaps as The Young People's Pavoritc Authors, a set of \2 books. There is no "trash" in the above, but much really informational material mingled with folk and nature lore. Helpful books to Christians with the real CHRIISTinas-tide thought in them, —such ought to be found here. They are here. Missionary biographies and travels, too. Dennis' Christian Missions is a mine of information in attractive form. Two fine maps of China are the latest contribution of a missionary character to this sort of literature, with names of mission stations and all in beautiful colors. This is not a tithe. For the Home in general it might be said with truth that "no home should he without" a good bible for every person in it. These cheap bibles with ruinous print!
