other races and they will surely win. In
America votes count. Votes are massed

side of this movement. Therefore it

America was now a World Power in a
new sense. It seemed' as tho the entire
people had passed thru a mighty transformation in a moment, comparable only
to a conversion of the Pauline type in
an individual. It was one of the great
experiences of our Nation, well worth
living to witness and to share.
Something of the same sort is transpiring now, only in a more leisurely and
less spectacular fashion and the people
of the Union are beginning to see that
the Pacific is to be the ocean of the future.
Hence a voice from the Pacific calling
definite attention to this world movement
which is shifting human interest so
fundamentally would fall into harmony
with the deeper thought of the Nation
and meet respectful hearing.
Among all the candidates of both
parties for nomination to the Presidency
there is one and only one who knows at
first hand the problem of the Pacific, only
one who has fitted himself to deal with
the questions vital to both Asia and
America which are sure to emerge into
first prominence during the next few
years, only one in whom the people of
the Union can have abiding confidence as
a safe leader in the disposal of the Philippines, even as he is the only one who has
a definite workable policy for the Pacific
and that one is William H. Taft.
There is every reason, therefore, in
large statesmanship why Hawaii should
have endorsed Mr. Taft and should have
told its reason for so doing. This reason
could have been framed in terms of honest respect for the other candidates on
the ground that Mr. Taft had enjoyed
opportunities thru the exigencies of public service that had been denied to the
other statesmen, all of them good men,
who have been proposed for the nomination. The fact that in the past there has
been some friction between Mr. Taft and
representatives of a number of our Island
interests would only have enhanced the
value of an endorsement of his candidacy upon such statesmanlike grounds.
There would have been no suspicion of
currying favor. The action would have
been honorable to him, to ourselves and
to the Nation. It would have commanded respect and would have carried
weight.
As it is Hawaii's Republican Party has
adopted the role of the chicken with open
mouth, ready to run after anyone that
will drop corn its way. We are an entirely negligible quantity and must remain such unless the votes chance to run
so close that our two will turn the scale.

"Without debt." LooKed at another way, the Apostle Paul could not say it.
On the contrary "I am DEBTOR both to GreeKs and Barbarians"--for "good
tidings" was what he said.
As to our Island debt in this matter of "good tidings" we have a big charge
against us. We may not have to go out of our own families to find "GreeKs."
How would our own children pass as "GreeKs,"—whose future will be determined largely by the way we meet our debts?
For "Barbarians" (no disparagement intended—the difference lies in priveteges)we have the laborers on our plantations. This year they are pouring
into our laps the biggest harvest in our history.
Do we owe them nothing—we Christians?
Paul added "as much as in me is, J am ready to bring 'good tidings.' "

do a good deal of translating for our

THE FRIEND
EXPERT OPINION UPON MR.
WOOLLEY.

The Anti-Saloon League assembled
in executive session on April 20 and
unanimously adopted with enthusiasm
the following minute, which speaks for
itself:
In bidding farewell to Hon. John G.
Woolley, its superintendent since
August, 1007, the Anti-Saloon League
of Hawaii hereby expresses its deep
appreciation of the remarkable work
accomplished by him during the few
months he has been with us. Coming
to these islands in ignorance of the
peculiar conditions existing here, Mr.
Woolley set about his campaign in the
quietest fashion, rapidly accptainted
himself with the situation and disappointed both the opponents of temperance and the lukewarm good people by
making no mistakes, by inaugurating
no noisy propaganda and by addressing himself to the strategic points.
With rare tact he cooperated with
the liquor commissioners so helpfully
that he led them to see the wisdom of
the policy of not licensing saloons not
demanded by public opinion, and made
clear the need of strengthening the
present law at several points to safeguard the public weal. Inaugurating a
campaign throughout the public and
private schools of the Territory, all of
which, with a few exceptions, he visited and addressed, he carried the temperance question into the homes of the
people with the result that over six
thousand children, with the consent of
their parents, registered, themselves
against alcoholic drinks. This movement was carried on most quietly, with
no spectacular features, and, if followed up, promises more for temperance
in the Islands than anything ever before attempted.
By personal intercourse with men,
Mr. Woolley has won over some notable recruits to the Anti-Saloon forces,
and his facile pen has had due share
in causing the pervasive change of sentiment throughout the Territory
against the liquor curse. His coming
has marked an epoch in the progress
of this reform here. His wisdom in not
doing many things that people expected him to do, his unerring insight into
what the local situation demanded, and
his making good in supplying the demand, have rendered his services on behalf of social uplift in Hawaii invaluable.
Our league relinquishes him to the
mainland with keen regret so far as
our Islands are concerned, but with
joyful anticipations of the part he will
be called upon to play in the larger field
before him.

THEODORE A. WALTRIP.
Kahului's new pastor, who will reach
his field towards the end of this month,
is a young man nearing his prime. He
took his A. B. at Westfield College,
Illinois, and his B. D. at the Union
Biblical Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.
After graduating from the latter he
taught three years in a California Academy and then returned to his Alma
Mater to teach for two years. He next
served a four years' term as pastor at
Lakewood, N. V., and then moved to
Phoenix where he was pastor of the
Congregational Church for five years.
He has a wife but no children. Mr.
and Mrs. Waltrip will sail from San

great loss and possible failure, received

careful attention.

The two or three hundred Chinese
present filled the Chinese United Societies hall to overflowing. They manifested great interest and' enthusiasm, and
vet considered the question in a dignified and fair-minded spirit. There was
not the slightest antagonism to America,
but the most friendly spirit shown in all
the discussions. The Chinese felt that
they could trust Congress to treat them
fairly when conditions were fully understood. When the facts are known certainly Hawaii's rice industry will not be
left to go to ruin. Rev. E. W. Thwing
made the first address. He was followed
by the Chinese Consul, Mr. Tseng Hai,
who made a splendid speech and told the
Chinese that they should all work together for this important end. He promised to heartily cooperate with them.
The following resolutions were passed
unanimously and with much enthusiasm,
the Chinese Consul promising also to
send them to the Chinese ambassadcv at
Washington:
1. Resolved, That we, the Chinese of
Hawaii, begin a campaign of information, to furnish the people of the United
States with real facts as to the Chinese of
Hawaii.
2. Resolved, That the important rice
industry, begun and fostered by Chinese
toil in these Islands, deserves consideration and support from the Congress of
the United States.

the Island.
The various reports indicate a prosperous condition of the churches, there
being 40 accessions during the past half
year.
A well equipped new church building
at Wanini, in the Hanalci parish, had
been dedicated during the term.
Among other matters the following
created a good deal of interest and dis-

cussion :
Hawaiian Board Day —A resolution
was passed recommending the adoption
of one special Sunday in the year as Hawaiian Board Sunday on which occasion
the work of the Hawaiian Board should
receive the attention of every church in
the Islands, with a view to informing the
public in regard to this work and stimulating general interest in it. This matter
will be brought to the attention of the
General Association at Hilo.
Permanent Lay Members—A resolution was introduced to add six new names
under this head to the membership of the
Association. In the spirited discussion
which followed it was pointed out that
the purpose of the Association was to
represent the churches, each church being
entitled to representation by pastor and
one delegate. This kept a practically
even balance of pastoral and lay members. Already there were six permanent
lay members in addition to the church
delegates, to add to those six more would
increase the lav membership out of all
proportion to the pastoral membership as

�THE FRIEND
there were only six pastors present.
Furthermore, it was not clear whom these
permanent lay delegates were going to
represent. The churches had their own
elected delegates whom they could control. Apparently these lay members
would represent only themselves and
would be independent of control, and the
twelve of them might easily swamp the
Association. It was wisely decided not
to add to the present number of such
members and in future to restrict the
number.
A resolution was then introduced to remove the six now in existence, but this
was voted down as unwise, retroactive
legislation.
There was considerable discussion in
regard to Mr. Lydgate's so-called ministers' school for the instruction of the
churches. At present it is being held at
Lihue, Hanapepe and Kilauea. The Hanalei people value this instruction very
much and would gladly attend in much
larger numbers but for the difficulty of
getting to Kilauea. They pointed out
that very few attended from Kilauea and
therefore they requested that the sessions
of this school be transferred to Hanalei.
This, however, was strenuously resisted
by some who came from the other direction, especially by one old lady wdio declared that she never missed a session, no
matter what the weather, though she had
to ride ten miles to it. Finally Mr. Lydgate solved the problem by offering to
hold an extra session at Hanalei, a proposition which met with instant and unanimous favor.
A unanimous petition came from the
Waimca church calling Mr. J. A. Akina
to the pastorate of that church, which he
has been serving as a licentiate for some
months with much acceptance. The call
was approved by the Association and arrangements made for his ordination. Ile
is a man of a good deal of ability and it
is hoped that he will prove a valuable
addition to the ministry.
Very serious charges were preferred
against the character of J. K. Apolo, one
of the lay members of the Association
and special traveling Secretary of the
Christian Endeavor Societies. _On investigation, however, by a special committee they were found to be without
much foundation and he was exonerated
from blame, though cautioned to avoid
the appearance of evil.
A very enjoyable new feature of the
Association was the special music interspersed through the meetings, a feature which it is hoped may be retained in
future meetings of this kind.
At times the discussions became very
spirited indeed, not to say turbulent, and
it seemed as though the outcome must
be bitterness and enmity, but in every
case peace and unity followed and the interests of well being were furthered.

KAUAI NOTES.

The Lihue Church (Foreign) observed
Holy Week as a week of prayer with
much interest and inspiration. The services were held in the afternoon mostly
and were attended by Hawaiians as well
as whites. On Good Friday there was a
special service appropriate to the occasion which was largely attended.
On Easter Sunday there was a special
service, largely musical and responsive,
including a fine anthem by the choir and
a very pleasing solo by Mrs. W. H. Rice.
A special collection was taken for the
.American Board.
At Koloa there were special Easter
services, with excellent music by the
choir and a special collection for the
American Board.
The Easter spirit also reached Fleele
where a similar Easter service was enjoyed' and a similar collection taken.
EASTER CELEBRATIONS.
Ten Sunday Schools gathered in the
large auditorium of the Central Union
Church for their union Easter celebration, crowding both the main floor and
the gallery and many standing in the remaining floor space. For lack of room
the large schools of Kawaiahao and Kamakapili could not 1)e invited to join, but
had been requested to be represented by
delegates. An abundance of lilies and
asters, ferns, vines and grasses lent their
loveliness to the occasion. Hymns that
had been practiced for the occasion for
several weeks past were rendered in
unison that was inspiring. A few minutes were allotted to each school to render some exercise prepared by its scholars, and a fitting address was delivered
by Mr. B. Y. Mitchell, on the nobility of
the life of sacrifice.
A flutter of excitement was experienced in the expectant throng when the
"Sunshine" song, specially prepared for
the day, was called for. Many parts of
the program had been rendered in
strange tongues, but now in English
from every part of the building and with
an enthusiasm akin to the song of the
Angels, ranp out the words, " 'Tis sunshine, 'tis sunshine, that makes the world
so bright," and the effect was truly thrilling.

The Japanese Easter anthem, "Yomigaeri no Uta," was rendered on the evening of Faster Sunday in both the Nuuanu
and the Makiki churches. At the Makiki Church service thirty-eight adults
and two infants were baptized at the
Easter communion service.

FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
MAKIKI CHURCH.
The fourth anniversary of the organization of the Makiki Church, and the
second of the erection of its fine church
edifice, was celebrated on Wednesday
evening, April Bth. All the sliding doors
hail to be thrown open to accommodate
the audience, and addresses by Rev. Wm.
P. Oleson and Consul Saito were enthusiastically received. A special piece
was rendered' by a male choir of fifteen
voices.
The Consul spoke eloquently of the
elemental principles of righteousness
which exalt a people, and showed that
while Japan had made praiseworthy and
remarkable advance in the material
civilization and wisdom of the West, she
was incredibly slow in embodying in her
life the spiritual forces which are the real
source and power of that civilization.
Material power and advance is but a
bauble —a single hole in the bottom of a
battleship and its power is forever annihilated ; a single defect in material progress and it is undermined ; but the civilization which is embodied in high spiritual ideals and has its foundations in eternal righteousness, has alone the guaranty
of permanence.
At the close of the service many gathered around the pastor, Rev. T. Okumura, and expressed their congratulations on the work which has been so
signally blessed. The church, which began four years ago in a small room nine
feet square with three members, has at
the date of this anniversary a membership of 170, two Sunday Schools with
147 members, and a thoroughly wideawake Christian Endeavor Society. It
is carrying on a mission in Kakaako and
in Moiliili and is pushing its activities in
every direction with a modesty and efficiency which betoken a deep spiritual life
pervading its pastor and people.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD
BY FRANK S. SCUDDER

The Kingdom of Heaven is like
THE OAHU ASSOCIATION
The Oahu Association, which was in
session from April 10-14, WSI an unusually representative gathering of our
workers, delegates being present from
the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese and
Chinese churches. The business of the
Association was mainly that connected
with the affairs of the churches as such,
and the Sunday School and Christian
Endeavor, but subjects of social reform
also came in for a good share of attention.
Early in the program the keynote of
the occasion was struck in a stirring address from the new Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, the Rev. Win. B. Oleson,
who in a picturesque style and with
striking illustrations spoke of the splendid partnership in which we are called
to participate in winning the world to
Christ, and how Christ depends upon us
men to carry out our side of the partnership into which he has entered with us.
One of the many telling illustrations of
the power of cooperation was that of a
stage party which was stuck in a heavy

unto

Treasure Hid in

road at the bottom of a hill. The driver
fastened a rope to the stage and called
upon all the passengers to lend a hand
until the hill top was gained, after which
they might ride again. All cheerfully
complied and bent their strength to the
task, the driver pulling in the lead, and
the stage went Spinning up the grade.
Gradually, however, the driver felt an increasing burden, progress was slow, and
at last the stage came to a stop. Turning
about he found that the travelers,
wearied of the sport, had &lt;lropj)ed back
one by one and resumed their places in
the stage. This was a picture of a
church which leaves all its work to be
done by its pastor,
With equally telling illustrations he
showed how by cooperation watches are
made, magnificent buildings are reared,
and steamers are sent freighted across
the seas, and that no task can baffle those
who arc in partnership with God.

ciation was the new plan of separate sessions for the different races. All met together for devotional exercises and for
the English addresses and business
transactions, hut papers on assigned
topics had been prepared by Hawaiians,
Chinese and Japanese, each of whom in
his own tongue delivered his paper in
separate session before the people of his
own nationality. Afterwards all met
again in joint assembly and the principal
points of the papers and discussion which
came up in the separate sessions were
given in English and interpreted so that
each nationality could get the benefit of
the wisdom and counsel of the other.
This plan was put into practice for this
time, as an experiment, and on a limited
scale. It proved so satisfactory, however, that hereafter the time allotted for
separate sessions will be considerably increased.
Worthy of especial mention was the
paper by Mr. T. Kajiro, on the subject,

them sadly in need of reformation.

No
such condition can be found in all Japan
as exists here and the Japanese are both
ashamed and aggrieved that such a menace not only to their own people, but to
the 1 lawaiians and Chinese who also frequent these places, should be countenanced in this city. For over thirty years,
he said, the bath houses in Japan have
been under the strictest governmental
regulations, and he hoped that the people of Honolulu would take up the cause
in behalf of this reform, and subject the
bath houses, not merely to inspection and
supervision, which is useless, but to the
rigid regulation of law.
Papers were also presented on"The
Christian Endeavor and the Church,"
"The Pastor and His Sunday School."
A concert was one of the numbers on
the evening program, and on Sunday the
Association was favored with an address
hy Hon. J. (i. Woolley, who made an
earnest appeal for a manly stand by the
people of these Islands against the destroying power of the liquor traffic.

GLEANINGS FROM QUARTERLY

REPORTS.

Rev. Messrs. Ctilick and Scudder in
their tour among the Japanese through
Kona and on Maui in February at every
meeting had excellent audiences and
earnest attention.
Nothing was more
apparent in these fields than the beneficial influence of the resident missionaries upon the evangelists within their
territory, and the example of fraternity
among the races, made so evident by the
oneness of the Christian forces in their
work.
From Maui we get tidings of the dedication of a new Hawaiian church at Ulupalakua, eight hundred dollars of the
total cost being raised by the Hawaiian
people in that district.
The Wailuku Kaahumanu Church has
paid off two-thirds of its debt of $500;
Hale Aloha, in Lahaina, has been completed at a cost of about $2000; and decided improvements have been made in
the Union Church at Wailuku.
From Hilo we learn that the First
Foreign Church received five into membership at the last communion; and that
eight were received into membership in
the Portuguese Church at that place. Mr.
Ho Tsz Tsung, our Chinese evangelist at
Hilo holds street meetings down town
each Sunday night when the weather
permits.
Central Kona Church has a new $90
organ, paid for, and only $16 of the cost
came from outside friends.
At a recent Christion workers' conference in Kona, Hawaii, under the direc-

tion of Rev. Dr. Baker there was an attendance of 21, the members coming
from considerable distances. Such themes
as these were discussed: "The Home
and what it should be"; "Christianity in
relation to public affairs"; "Prayer
meeting hints."
I lelani Church, in Kona, Hawaii, dedicated a new chapel three months ago on
land acquired for it DV the Hawaiian
Board last year. The old parsonage on
the shore furnished the material for this
20x40 building, and the people paid the
cost of erection, $118.85.
They have
just bought two koa trays with fifty communion glasses. The need of this chapel
is seen by a maximum attendance the
past quarter of 92, and" a minimum of 68.
Rev. James Unchurch of the Kailua
Church, Kona, Hawaii, reports a maximum attendance during the first quarter
of 1908 of 100, and a minimum of 50; at
Sunday School 104 and 53, respectively;
and at Christian Endeavor meetings 60
and 46. Twelve persons have joined the
church on confession and twelve babies
have been baptized. He has visited 45

tainly inherit the earth, and find a great
deal of pleasure in the heritage. There
are times when everything goes well and
a tour is an all round pleasure trip, and
again there are times when the problems
which face us are sufficiently absorbing
to render us oblivious to the charms of
the loveliest scenery and to things which
otherwise would be of interest and delight.

A recent trip to Kauai was unusually
free from the vexatious questions which
often confront us. As far as the work
was concerned, we seemed to be carried
along on the flood tide of interest, but
marred indeed was our happiness, most
painfully marred by the heart rending
tidings of the sorrow which had befallen
our beloved fellow workers in Hilo, coming with special force to us, who, unable
to communicate with our loved ones,
realize every day that sorrow may have
entered, unknown to us, into our homes.
With this accustomed burden on our
hearts no one could feel more keenly than
we the lightning stroke which befell our
friends, Mr. and Mrs. Shields. No sorrow touches a deeper chord of sympathy,
for every home which has been gladdened
by the merry sunshine of little ones, and
many a heart that longs in vain for it,
enters the shadow with them. So breathes
the universal sympathy in the beautiful
words of James Whitcomb Riley:

these children come to my Sunday School

inasmuch as that is more than two miles
distant. This is a camp of promise. On
Sunday his Sunday School all lined up
in fine order out of doors and marched in
for the special purpose of hearing an
American speak to them in Japanese.
Then followed services, morning and
evening, with the Communion of the
Lord's Supper and the baptism of five
persons. On Monday we visited the
Japanese in the hospital and Mr. Tsuji
obtained permission to go twice a week
or of tener, to read the Bible to, and otherwise comfort his sufferiner fellow countrymen. Thence to Camp Kapaia where
we visited inquirers, and then back to
Lihue where So children, who are receiving Japanese education, and daily
Christian guidance from Mr. Tsuji and
Mr. Takeda, kindly listened to my exhortation on "Settling disputes with coals
of fire." In the evening we had a meeting
of special prayer for the new members of
the church. (hi the following morning
Mr. Tsuji began his Bible reading in the
hospital, and Dr. Ptitman kindly furnished us with new illustrations for preaching,

to a close.

ministers' SCHOOLS,
A striking feature of the Association
was a practical illustration of Mr. Lydgate's conducting his classes among the
Hawaiian workers. These classes are
called "Ministers' Schools," and are held
monthly for the instruction of pastors,
Sunday School teachers and others, at
Lihue, llanapcpe anil Kilauea. Sermon
sketches are presented on the blackboard
by different members of the class, and
criticisms elicited which arc always taken
in a good spirit and often amid flashes of
wit and humor. So earnest and excited
do they become that even ladies join in
the exercises and often, Mr. Lydgate
says, the sermon sketches by the ladies
give the paetori reason to put forth their
lust energies lest they be outdone.
CAMPAIGN.
The first evening of the Association
was celebrated hv the Japanese by an
evangelistic meeting in which each of
the evangelists and tin- superintendents
presented some aspect of the gospel. The
following evening Koloa was stormed
hv the same company. The Koloa evangelist, Mr. Kotani, has steadily won for
himself the favor and confidence of both
lapanese and Americans. We heard nothing but good words spoken of the influence he is exerting. He is specially fortunote in having the sympathetic and tactful cooperation of I)r. and Mrs. Waterhouse, who aid him in his night school as
well as in his evangelistic work, and by
c.\Mi'

their open-heartednoss and evident interest in Christian work among the Japanese are winning the hearts of all the people. As is their custom, they were present at the meeting that evening, and Mrs.
Waterhouse favored us with a solo, lending a touch to the service which is all too
unusual in the experience of camp life.
Next we went to Makaweli, where Mr.
Takahashi and his family have gone to
fight a good fight. The moral effect of
red dust may well be studied here. It is
especially hard for refined people and
they deserve the reward of heroes for the
work they are doing. On Saturday the
members of our party scattered, each to
his own field, only one remaining to go
with Mr. Tsuji over his Lihue field.

she will be greatly missed. On hearing

of Mr. Miyamori's resignation, representatives of the Hawaiian Board called upon him, and upon the officers of the

to postpone his resignation.
Declining
the proposition, he was asked to accept
a call from the Hawaiian Hoard to some
part of its field, but having already completed his plans for returning to Japan,
he could not he persuaded to remain.

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The work of the Mills Institute is proceeding in a most satisfactory and encouraging manner. While both teachers
and pupils arc earnestly looking forward
to the time when the larger opportunities
of the Mid-Pacific Institute shall be
opened to them, they are now doing their
best to be worthy of a place in that undertaking. Never has the work so long
carried on in Chaplain Lane been in a
more flournishing condition. Principal
Merrill and his faithful assistants are
steadily endeavoring to advance the
standard of scholarship and raise in every
-way the religious and moral tone of the
institution. The register of the boarding
and day departments for this year shows
an attendance of fully one hundred and
twenty, nine of whom arc Japanese and
three Koreans. The additional opportunities for more advanced study now offered have tended in a marked degree to
keep in the school a class of students who
arc most desirable and who would otherwise not be attracted. Several of the
young men have expressed a desire to
fit themselves for the gospel ministry. In
order to continue to do the best work at
least one more teacher is needed and unless funds can be obtained' for his support the work will be seriously crippled
and retarded. It is hoped that friends of
the work will be led to see the importance of continuing to advance these lines
of development which are so promising.
The adoption of a form of studentgovernment in the Institute is proving to

Hawaii Cousins
A housewarming was given at the
"Old Mission Home" in the afternoon
of April 4th. The Cousins and their
friends were received in the old historic reception room where royalty was
entertained in the long ago, and where,
no doubt, every missionary to these islands has gathered in consultation and
knelt in prayer. Many guests explored
the numerous nooks and cupboards of
the old place before going through to
the makai lawn where chairs were arranged for the audience. Here a very

�14
pleasant half hour was spent among
friends, and "Aunt Martha" Chamberlain, so long absent from the meetings,
sat in her carriage and held a reception all her own, on the very grounds
where she played as a little child, and
"kicked the old idols in disdain."
A triangular platform filled the corner between the kitchen and main
building. This was lined on two sides
with cocoanut leaves, canopied by a
sail from a Hawaiian schooner and
covered with two large Hawaiian mats.
Here Mrs. W. F. Frear, in her pleasing manner, read a letter from Dr. S. E.
Bishop, which is given below, and
after telling, in picturesque words, of
the arrival of the mail, six days from
Maui, twelve days from Hilo, and long,
weary months from the home-land, introduced Mrs. Theodore Richards, who
read three of these letters, yellow with
age and full of holes, written by
Mother Cooke more than three score
years ago. These were so interesting
that requests have been made for a
second reading, and we hope they may
appear in The Friend.
Then a Lulaby was sung. An old
time missionary mother, on her way to
"Mother's Meeting," dressed in her
long brown cloak and "calash," stopped
by the cradleside to still the waking
baby and sing, "Hush my babe, lie still
and slumber."
After this came the special number
of the program, a presentation of
Hawaii of Long Ago, prepared by Mr.
James Wilder under the auspices of
the special committee from the
Woman's Board, Mrs. W. F. Frear,
Mrs. E. A. Weaver and Miss Pope.
The scene was laid in 1840, and represented a half dozen missionary ladies
convened from the different islands for
"General Meeting," with a new arrival
from Boston, and in a sewing circle,
and over their cup of tea, talking of
their life-work with its sunshine and
shadows, its humor and pathos: while
into their midst came a princess, the
premier of Oahu, bringing as gifts rich
rolls of silk which the beauty-hungry
eyes of the missionaries were obliged
to decline for their work's sake.
The princess and her attendants, the
kahili-bearers and hand-maidens, were
Kamehameha school-girls of today,
and the acting fore-mothers were six
young ladies, grandchildren of the mission, representing eight original mission families. The furnishings, Mrs.
Frear kindly explained, were genuine
relics of the olden time, Mother Parker's drop-leafed mahogany table,
Mother Armstrong's sewing chair,
Mother Lowell Smith's little silver
sewing-bird, the Andrews' cradle and

THE FRIEND
the high chair from which Gen. S. C.
Armstrong dangled his little feet. The
ladies were gowned in the costumes of
sixty years ago—some of them in veritable dresses of their ancestors, while
the words they spoke were, many of
them, literal quotations from the missionary mothers, culled from letters
and diaries penned by their hands.
The exercises closed with a very
pretty little poem by Mrs. Frear, "Little Sewing Bird," happily rendered by
Miss Mary Thurston Taylor Kluegel.

Dr. Bishop's Letter.
April

3rd.

To the Secretary of the Cousin's Society :
Dear Madam: In view of the gathering of the Society at the Old Mission Home tomorrow, may I, as the
oldest survivor of their number, and
debarred by infirmity from being present, send my cordial greetings.
That old house holds a strong place
in my cherished memories, as the home
of the Bingham family in the Thirties,
and in which the Bishop family repeatedly were guests during the general meetings.
I wish to specify my earliest distinct
memory of the house. It was in the
afternoon of May 17, 1832, seventy-six
years ago, when I was five years old.
The whale-ship "Averick" had just arrived and landed the large Fourth Reinforcement of Missionaries.
This large company of young people
were gathered into the Bingham parlor
to meet the older missionaries. I was
present and was especially attracted
by the pleasant aquiline features of the
young Wm. P. Alexander, a type of
face quite new to my experience. He
sat close to the west side of the door
leading to the dining-room. The Armstrongs, Lymans, Emersons, etc., were
seated around the room.
These young folks were soon helping
to make much history, as well as beget
a notable progeny.
May your meeting to remember the
Fathers'and Mothers be pleasant and
profitable.
Faithfully yours,
SERENO E. BISHOP.
The annual meeting of the Cousins
was held in the same place on Saturday, April the 25th, at half past three
o'clock.
Following so soon after the housewarming there was not a large attendance, but the short program was exceptionally fine. After the usual open-

ing and business—"Blest be the tie,"
prayer by Dr. John Gulick, reading of
the reports of secretary and treasurer,
and election of officers, the audience
was favored by two beautiful songs by
the Kawaiahao girls: "Foaming Waves
of the Sea" and "Praise to the Creator."
We especially thank these young
ladies as they gave of their own recreation time for our pleasure.
Then followed Mrs. Dillingham's
excellent paper, reminiscent of her
father and mother, and a charming letter from Princess Bernice Pauahi,
(read by President Cooke), written
from the school for royal chiefs and
giving many incidents of life as seen
by a lovely girl of "sweet sixteen." We
trust that this letter as well as Mrs.
Dillingham's paper may appear in
"The Friend."
Miss Agnes Judd then read some
verses written in 1857 by Robert Tinker, a young man of twenty years, a
tribute to a loved sister born upon the
sea when her parents were returning
from these Islands.
This was followed by an article read
by Mr. F. W. Damon published' in the
"Jubilee Celebration" of 1887, concerning the Old Mission Home when it
was new. Mr. Damon said this was
especially appropriate now, as we were
holding the first annual meeting after
the renovation in these actual surroundings.
There were remarks of interest by
Mr. Damon, Mr. Carter and Mrs. Dillingham about securing relics and
mementos of the missionaries, and Mr.
Andrews showed a copy of the first edition of the Hawaiian Gospels, bound in
scarlet, also two volumes of the Bible.
The latter had belonged to the king,
to Mr. Wyllie and to Father Andrews.
These were among the treasures presented to the Society within the past
two months.
The officers elected were: President,
Arthur C. Alexander; vice-president,
Hon. G. R. Carter; secretary, Mrs.
R. W. Andrews; treasurer, Lyle A.
Dickey, and recorder, R. W. Andrews.
Word has recently been received of
the death of Mrs. Abbie Marina Tinker
Purdon. She was the second daughter
of Rev. and Mrs. Reuben Tinker, and
was born on board the whaleship
"William Perm" on the return voyage
of her parents from these islands. She
was married from the home of her
brother, Hon. Robert H. Tinker, at
Rockford, 111., Oct. 13. 1869, to the
late Rev. Dr. Henry Purdon of St.
James Memorial Church, Titusville,

years until his death in December,

1898. Her youngest daughter, Alice,
died in April, 1006, and there remains
of the household but one daughter,
Marina Louise.
The hearts of the Cousins are especially saddened by the cabled news of
the death of our dear Mrs. Cornelia
Beckwith Damon. With her departure, a bright light seems to have gone
out. Her presence carried joy and
gladness everywhere. Her hands, her
voice, her smile, her cheery words,
were for her friends, and for the stranger as well. Though sorrows came into
her life they only sweetened her character, and every tear was as a raindrop
that reflects the sun and made a rainbow of love about her beautiful life.
In her last letter to the cousins she
said, "How I love my dear Hawaii!
and how I long, sometimes, to be
back!" But she has reached a more
lovely Paradise, and her sweet alto, we
believe, is swelling the praise of Him
she served so well below.
Butte, Montana,

No. 900 W. Quartz St.
Dear Aunt Mattie:—We are just as
proud as we can be of one week passed
without any snow-storm. Our opposite neighbor has two crab-apple trees
that have lived over two winters, and
are the pride and delight of the whole
neighborhood. Sunday, a beautiful
day, the whole family was out looking
the poor little trees over for signs of
life, and today the swelling buds are
very much in evidence. To be sure,
last year on the 24th of June we had a
driving blizzardy snowstorm, so our
troubles are not yet over, but that does
not happen every year.
When I was in Bozeman last year I
met Miss Helen Brewer. She and her
brother are teaching in the agricultural
college. Miss Brewer is very anxious
to go to Honolulu. We don't meet
many island people here. Butte is off
the main line across the continent.
I like Butte. I would much rather
be here in the winter, but Great Falls
is far prettier in summer. The manager's house is up on a bluff, overlooking
the river, and our veranda is in constant use, unless, as was the case last
summer, it is too cold.
I hear very little from home or from
Ellen. They are all too busy to write
much I fancy. Lewis is in Bates College, doing well. David is working
hard in the high school. The journey
out here did both boys a world of good.
Much love to all.

Less than a year ago the Board
found it necessary to enlarge its
Book and Supply Department and
to find an experienced man to manage it.

We announced this change to
our friends asking them to send us
their business, particularly such
orders as they were in the habit of
sending East. Our request met
with a ready response and in spite
of the fact we were obliged to wait
until November, to get our new
stock of books, our sales have
largely increased, amounting in the
last six month to nearly seven
thousand dollars. Our workers
have found it very convenient to
have a well selected stock of Song

Charts Bibles, Testaments (in various languages) Sunday School,
Church and C. E. workers handbooks, Reward Cards, Missionary
and other good books; organs and

they could see them before buying.
Many bear testimony to the district
Missionary work the Bookstore
has done. If our friends will all
send us their business we can do
more.
Many are still sending
away for books and other supplies,
they could purchase here at just as
satisfactory prices and often without
waiting. Won't you all give us a
trial this year and see what a credit
our Book Department can be to the
Board.
