The Irresistible March. The month of May has witnessed continued triumphs for the Temperance cause. Another great conservative State, North Carolina, has joined the ranks of the foes of King Alcohol. It seems as though all mankind were passing through a gigantic experience of moral enlightenment with reference to narcotics and stimulants. Health was never before so ardently sought by organized communities of men. Alcohol, opium, cocaine, rats and mosquitoes all belong in the same category as deadly foes of life, though the first three have their healthful uses. Bills to prohibit the importation of opium into Hawaii are before both Houses of Congress and will doubtless be passed at the next session, when it is confidently expected by Temperance leaders that the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the Territories and their importation thereinto will also be prohibited. Great Britain, China and Japan are all feeling the effect of this passion for sane minds and sane bodies. Europe alone lags behind and even there signs multiply that this great reform will soon have its day. The inspiration of a mighty world movement like this is incalculable. God's Kingdom is marching unto victory and our century is destined to witness triumphs undreamed in ages past. Vice will be the next stronghold to be assailed. The awakening of 2000 of Chicago's physicians and hundreds of the leading practitioners in New York and their organization into leagues for teaching social hygiene mean more for our national health and our Nation's family life than can be computed. "Come Kingdom of our God." World Peace. The credit for the splendid public celebration of Peace Day in this city is due very largely to Rev. Frank S.

Mr. Dodge typical was in this Territory only a year, but that was time enough to endear many to him. He had been pastor of a num- ber of Churches in central Massachusetts and in each disclosed a rare talent for building weak organizations into permanent power. The personal appeal of his friendship was very strong and his loyal Christian spirit won men to his Master as well as to himself. The sympathy of The Friend is extended to his son, Rev. Rowland B. Dodge, of Wailuku, and to the others of his family. Among the Japanese. Revs. O. H. Gulick and F. S. Scudder, superintendents of the Japanese Department of the Hawaiian Board, have been assigned definite districts of supervision for convenience of work and to relieve Mr. Gulick of strain. The island of Hawaii will hereafter constitute the sphere of Mr. Gulick, while Mr. Scudder will supervise Kauai, Oahu and Maui. The Japanese Christians are eagerly awaiting the coming of Rev. Tsuneteru Miyagawa of Osaka in the early part of July. It is expected that he will hold either one institute in 1 lonolulu for all the Christian workers of his race or three institutes, one each at Hilo, Wailuku and Honolulu for contiguous evangelists. On account of this plan there will probably be few Japanese present at the annual meeting. Hurrah For One More. Mainland papers are cheering the H. C. Frick Company of Connellsville, Pa., a subsidiary to the United States Steel corporation. The company has 20,000 employees and it has just posted the notice that it will no longer employ a man known to be a drinker. It therefore advises its men not to use intoxicants, whether on duty or off. This action has been taken because mine accidents have been found to be due in many cases to men either under the influence of liquor or incapacitated for work by drinking bouts. The example of this action by such a company will tell for temperance more than can be calculated. The next generation of Americans will be overwhelmingly sober. By 1950 India, China, Japan and North America, holding far more than one-half the human family, will be in battle array against alcohol and opium. It is certainly inspiring to fight in full consciousness of so glorious a triumph. Meantime it is well to remember that battles are won not by cheering gains elsewhere or star gazing, but by attention to details.

That once dominant he forthwith begins to lest word and action with the question "Is this in keeping with my aim ?" The experimental stage of self-government is ended here. Ilawaiians can be trusted as citizens and office holders equally well with white Americans. A most conspicuous evidence of this lias been presented by the Sheriff of Oahti and the United States District Attorney. American heredity and environment may be argued to be overwhelmingly with the latter, creating the expectation that lie must prove tube conspicuously a higher type of public servant than the Sheriff. But the two test occasions of [wilci and the prize tight found him wanting while the Sheriff was fully equal lo his duty. The carefully chosen Hawaiian officeholder is demonstrably a worthy public servant. The last election proved that Hawaiian voters can be trusted and we believe the coming contest will still more notably bear out the statement to that the Hawaiian makes every bit as reliable and trustworthy a citizen as the average mainland voter. Ever since annexation he has been improving and we believe he will continue to do so in happy comparison with the ordinary white American. The truth cannot always be bid. The thoroughly good qualities of our island electorate will ere long be known throughout the States. Then given (he requisite population, statehood will be granted. But we are not yet ready for this large responsibility, Years of testing are needed to prove that the record achieved during the past eight v cars by the Hawaiian voter is not a momentary smirt. The train must be steadily held. Then our Chinese and Japanese voters must show what stuff they are made of. Tf they pass the examination, as we believe they will, the mainland will be powerfully impressed. < hir citizen population also will have to be greatly increased, so as to strike a better average in comparison with the aliens among us.

The explanation is simple. a therapeutic suggestion to the body politic and in time the righl will of the few becomes the will of the people. The present temperance sentiment is a splendid case ill point. Up to this time Hawaii has not dared even to dream of Statehood. Over on the mainland the idea that these Islands ever could by any possibility become a State of the Union is scouted. Well and good. That is the kind of sentiment most Stimulating to earnest men. We have the right elements here for sovereignty, fire them with the determination to become a sovereign State and every year will see them more worthy of the responsibility and therefore nearer to the sacred privilege.

He carried into his work the same faithful exactness that had made him successful in business. Few or none of his associates thought of this hale, hearty, large framed missionary as an octogenarian.

An Inspiring Example of Faith. Mr. Ishii from his youth was a man of tender susceptibilities and a heart of kindness towards the poor. When he was 22 years of age his sympathies were drawn out toward a poor widow with two children whom he found worshipping at a temple. Finding a sympathetic listener, she poured out her heart to him and Mr. Ishii, to free her hands so she could work for a living, took one of the children under his care. Soon he took two other children into his home and cared for them while he was pursuing a course in the study of medicine. In that same year (1887) he opened his orphanage in a Buddhist temple, the use of which he obtained from a friendly priest. Gradually the thought took possession of him that if (iod. in answer to prayer could sustain in England such an orphanage as ( ieorge Midler's, he could do the same in Japan. Mr. Ishii's test came when he was about to graduate from the medical school. If he should receive his diploma he would be in a position, as a physician to support himself and aid his orphanage, but again if he had his diploma he would be tempted to trust to himself ra,ther than to God. The struggle was sharp, but decisive. He literally burned the bridge behind him : he committed his medical books to the flames, left the medical school and gave himself for life to work in behalf of orphans, casting himself on the Lord in faith. Prayer and Work. Many an inward struggle he had on question as to whether in a nonChristian country like Japan he would do right in relying, like George Muller, on prayer alone, or whether he should not also work to keep the public informed as to the needs of the institution. His conviction at last that prayer and work should go together accounts for the methods adopted in later years of sending the orphanage brass band together with a lecturer using stereoplicon pictures on tours throughout the country. This has proved to be a splendid evangelistic agency as well as of great benefit to the institution, as will be observed in the incident mentioned at the beginning of this article. the THE FRIEND No Applicants Refused. At the end of four years Mr. Ishii had 120 children under his care. Then came the Gifu earthquake when he was called upon to receive at one time 84 more. No applicant is ever denied admission ; among the orphans there have been Korean, Eurasian, German, English and American children. The supreme test of faith came at the time of the great famine in 1906. With an equipment for 400 children he was called upon to receive within a space of three months 825 more children to save them from starvation or a fate still worse, but he never flinched. Temporary structures were reared and the waifs were welcomed. Have they Ever Been in Straits? Yes, often but never deserted. One of the most touching incidents was in the early history of the Institution, while it was. yet housed in the temple. They were all without food and the hungry children were gathered in the graveyard back of the temple, praying that God would give them their "daily bread." While they were yet speaking (iod heard, yes, before they, called He had answered, for just at that time came a gift of $31 from the children of a Sunday School in Canandagua, N. V., and loud were their rejoicings and their praise to God. Does Not Encourage Pauperism. The Okayama orphanage does not encourage pauperism by caring for those who can otherwise be provided for; its large numbers are not there for show. As the famine conditions were gradually relieved, 538 of the children were returned to their homes, so that the actual number being cared for in the orphanage this year is 500 less than a year ago. Often homes are found for children on farms or in worthy families. The orphanage has 40 cottages, f> school buildings, offices, bath houses, hospital and stores. It also has a farm in Hiuga, with 16 buildings, making a grand total of 76 buildings. At present Mr. Ishii is assisted by 16 school teachers, 40house mothers and 50 other helpers. Four times in its history the orphanage ''as risen to meet great national emergencies, namely, two wars, an earthquake and a famine. Their Majesties' Gift. It was the first Christian enterprise from T. I. J. M. the Emperor and Empress of Japan, who four years ago made a gift of 2000 yen, followed, the succeeding year with to receive a grant-in-aid a promise from them of iooo yen a year for ten years. The orphanage has, for many years, had the hearty and efficient cooperation of Rev. James H. Fettce, D.D., for 20 years a missionary of the American Board in Japan. Dr. Pcttee has given his "Godspeed" to Mr. Onoda in the errand he has undertaken for the institution. F. S. S. HILO-WAIAKEA COMBINE. The Hawaiian Hoard has evidently secured a good worker in Mr. Y. Nakadate, who began service as teacher in Waiakea on Feb. ist. The situation in Waiakea was critical in the extreme, but with patience and tact he is winning his way and proving himself to be "a man in whom there is an excellent spine." He has shown not only teaching ability but a gift for evangelistic wink. Mr. Iligucbi of Hilo, is planning with Mr. Nakadate for cooperative work in their two fields, and also in ( )laa. which for some months has been without a worker. These two gentlemen are taking turns in visiting Olaa, have started a Sunday School there and hold occasional meetings al eight-mile cam]). They call these fields hopeful. We call it hopeful when our evangelists and teachers combine their strength, and on their own initiative push out into aggressive work. JOHN FRANKLIN COWAN. On June i the Siberia brought to Honolulu Rev. John Franklin Cowan, D.D., to be pastor of Kohala Union Church. Dr. Cowan, born in Griffinshire, X. Y„ was graduated from Adrian College, Mich., in 1878, and from the Theological Seminary there in 1881. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Protestant Church and for four years served as pastor in Morgantown and Fairmont, W. Va., and in Pittsburg, Pa. He then took charge of the publication of the Sunday School papers of his denomination, whose headquarters arc in the latter city and continued bis editorial work for fifteen years. Called to Boston he entered the staff of the Christian Endeavor World where for ten years he has been associated with the work of the Congregational Church. Thus he is in himself an embodiment of the proposed union between the Congregational and Methodist Protestant Churches. A warm welcome awaits him in Kohala. We trust he may consent to take charge of a Young People's or Christian Endeavor Department in The Friend. �9 THE FRIEND. NOTES FROM THE FIELD BY FRANK S.

"The Value of Ideals," by William A. Kinney, Esq. Without effort he commanded the interest and attention of all as he dwelt on the ideal of equal opportunity for all classes, and with telling illustrations from history showed that both the governments and the systems of education which had proceeded on the principle of class distinctions, had failed in acquiring the unity and strength that comes from following the ideal of equal opportunities for people of every class. In the use of books there is a communism which can not be enjoyed in equal degree in any other direction. The humblest man can hold converse with such men as Shakespeare, Byron, Walter Scott, Thackeray and Dickens. He can compel them to give him their best thoughts and exact from them the highest inspiration and all practically without money and without price. "And no education equals the education that comes from intimate knowledge and communion with good authors and good books. "And so it is that we congratulate the donor and congratulate ourselves upon the establishment of one more great addition to the institutions of learning in this Territory, believing, as we do, that it will be open to and maintained for the good of all who comply with the simple conditions, common to all, governing admission to these schools, and that here all classes and conditions of men for generations to come may gather to freely partake at the fountain of knowledge about to be established on this spot, limited only by the measure of their own minds to appropriate what they find here, and by their thirst and desire for knowledge." Mr. Walter F. Dillingham, on behalf of the Trustees, expressed thanks to the donors for their munificent gift of $35,000 for the building and $5,000 for the purchase of new books, and gave a brief description of the building as it would appear when completed.

When the Czar of Russia, a few years ago, issued the call requesting an assembly of the nations to consider means for securing relief from the burdens of war, and looking to the establishment of a reign of peace, a smile of incredulity crossed the face of the world. The idea was greeted with amusement, and the youthful autocrat was pronounced a visionary. Within a decade we have seen a second Hague Conference, attended by the representatives of 44 nations, peace societies have sprung up all over the world, and people who ridiculed the idea are now found among the ranks of those who feel that the governments arc far behind the people in the desire to rise above the barbarism of war and relegate arms and armaments to museums of ancient history. Today there are some who would go lo the extreme of having their governments disarm at once and forever, believing that the inconveniences arising from such a course would not be comparable to the disaster of even a single war, and that any nation adopting this ideal would be morally safe from all attack. Others would see an international congress, which alone should be provided with an army and navy whose work it would be to act as a world police force. Still others believe that war is an inevitable curse, which can be mitigated, but not cured, by international treaties. But one and all are turning their attention to the subject of peace; the movement. At the Central Union Church, Acting Governor Mott-Smith presided, and United States Judge Sanford H. Dole and Editor Walter (1. Smith of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser were the speakers. Judge Kingsbury delivered an address at the Christian Church, and Chief Justice llarlwcll at the Methodist Church. At the Makiki Japanese Church the day was fittingly celebrated Willi an address by Rev. T. (Hcumura. Space does not permit of giving a digest of all of these excellent addresses, but we present some of the points of the address of Judge Dole, reserving for a later issue a resume of other addresses. Mr. Mott-Smith spoke a few words of introduction, alluding to the growth of public sentiment through such meetings as these, and of the high vantage ground on which Hawaii stands in the discussion of the subject of world peace. Judge Dole's address on the subject, "Is Peace Practicable?" was a masterly treatment .of the great evolutionary march of the human race upward through the times of animalism and barbarism in which war was necessary to progress, to the coming days of high civilization when reason and law shall take the place of bloody conflict. "If war has been necessary and beneficial in the past, will it be necessary and beneficial through all future time? *serve * * When war can no longer the race in any useful way, will it not by the laws of evolution disappear ?

Dueling and Highway Robbery. War is defended on the same principle as was formerly advocated in favor of dueling, though in reality it is more in line with the principles of highway robbery, "inasmuch as the attackcreates the immediate right of homicide in self defense, and because the attack is based on greed or upon the universal desire to sustain one's self and add to one's worldly possessions." Influences Against War. ()f all the influences which tend most conspicuously to discourage war, public sentiment and arbitration are the most efficacious, and public sentiment must be the basis of any success through arbitration. No progress could be made in the Hague Conference on the subject of disarmament, for public sentiment was not clear on this subject, but the world's desire for the peaceful settlement of controversies is clear, and on this issue the first Conference did its great work resulting in "the creation of a permanent international court of arbitration." This court has already settled several international disputes. combined : and the main reason for this confident hope is that the principle enjoys the world's public confidence and has the world's desire back of it, and because it offers a reasonable substitute for war for the settlement of international disputes." * Peace Conference Permanent. One outgrowth of the two Hague Conferences which is of the utmost importance is the demand for periodic meetings of the Conference. A large part of the work of the second Conference was the improvement and revision of the work of the first, and it, in turn, adjourned with some of its most important work- unfinished. "And so it came about that at the second Conference a way was open for the unanimous passage of a resolution for periodic meetings of The Hague Conference thereafter, which resolution fixed the date of the next conference seven years later and provided for the appointment of a special commission by the different governments to meet two years in advance to Study ami prepare the program for the third Hague Conference. Thus, without provision but by force of circumstances, and as a necessary development of the work already done, the foundation has been laid for a permanent Congress of Nations. Arc not these, the preparations for an international supreme court of justice and an international legislature, enough to make all lovers of paece sing with Browning, '(iod's in His heaven'—all's right with the world?'"

Tt will take time: progress in this direction may sometimes lacr, but will it not continue with increasing force and speed, until peace shall come with the world ready for it—a peace that shall not enfeeble or demoralize mankind, but shall be the soil in which the loftiest virtues shall thrive and the race advance beyond our dreams?

"Although the primary object of The Hague Conferences was the reduction of national armaments, which object has not been attained nor has any direct progress been made toward its attainment, their chief and most important work has been the movement for arbitration of international disputes, and making success of that, the further movement to build thereon an international court of equity. This is what interests the world. Tax payers would like to sec armaments reduced, but they have no confidence that it will be brought about until there is an effective substitute for war as an arbiter of national quarrels. The scheme of arbitration has made such a promising beginning that the way is partly cleared generations, The cchointr sounds grow fainter and for the idea of a permanent court of salaried judges, selected for the settlethen cease: ment of disputes according to equitable And, like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, principles and the highest ideals of jusT hear once more the voice of Christ tice.

When a stranger or an occasional visitor comes along it is not hard to drum up large audiences, yet we were surprised at the numbers— from 30 to 00—who, out of such a scattering population, came out to the meetings, and felt that the respectful attention they gave to his leadership was a testimony to the work he is doing in his field. After a short year's work in his circuit he reports the present condition as follows: In Holualoa every Sunday morning he has eight hearers, and there is a Japanese Christian Endeavor Society with thirteen members. At Central Kona on the first and fourth Sundays of the month three or four attend. Oil the third Sunday, in the Mori store from twenty to twenty-five attend, and the Sunday School numbers from 25 to 28, gradually increasing in numbers. In Honalu, on Wednesday evenings, there are from seven to ten persons, and a children's meeting is attended by five persons. At Honaunau, on the second Sunday, about seventeen attend, while every Wednesday evening a Young Men's Society of 14 members has its meeting. At Hookena he has meetings on the second Sunday and the Saturday evening preceding-, with an attendance of from eight to ten. So by his persistent beating up and down over the road, he manages to gather into meetings every month about 130 people, while many others are being reached, through frequent invitations and personal conversation, with some friendly word from a genial messenger of God's Word. NOT ALL SMOOTH SAILING IN PORTUGUESE WORK. The Portuguese people in the majority are Roman Catholics and very strong ones at that. The young people, as a rule, are more liberal minded and not so easily dominated by the priesthood. I find many among them favorable to the Gospel, but fear of persecution and ostracism on the part of the more fanatical, hinders many from making a stand for the truth. Speakine to one a few days ago. who was in the habit of attending, he told me in answer to the question as to why he had stopped coming: �THE FRIEND 12 "Mr. Santos, I love to go to your house and attend your meetings at the -chapel, but I cannot!

"To whom He was not spoken of, They shall And they that have not heard Shall understand." Visiting an outside district a few days ago I was agreeably surprised to find a number of young men, who, without any outside assistance, have been studying the Word of God, seeking after truth. I have since been requested to go to this place at least once a month and hold preaching services. "My word shall not return unto me void," says the Lord, and in this case we sec it verified. I attended the funeral of a countryman of mine last month that was buried at the Catholic cemetery at this place. At the grave the following was said by the officiating priest: "Christ also died but He rose again: in this there is hope for us, but for those who believe not as we do, there is no such hope!" No doubt our presence sug- see: gested such a statement, but to our knowledge such assurance did not seem to convince the majority of those present. A couple came to me sometime ago and wanted to be married. Having presented their license, I asked them if they believed that the ceremony performed by me would be binding.—they being Catholics.—and as they answered "yes," I proceeded to tie the knot: after this when I asked them if they wanted a certificate, the groom answered yes, but he had a request to make before I should write the certificate. Asking him what the request was he said: "I want you to make that certificate for six months!" Again enquiring where he got such an idea, he said that some one told him he could get married at the Protestant Church for six months or a year! M. G. SANTOS. WORK IN HILO.

That, then, is the question, "is it educational enough to be worth while'" Note first, that the answer to this question will not be found in the extent of the gratification or pleasure the public may derive from the performance. To be sure good music ought to please the public, but we have no right to expect that it will do so any more than we could expect that the best in literature will meet quick appreciation on the part of the general public. The schools have a right to try for such a goal,—nay perhaps they have no right to try for anything short of that. Will a yearly recurring Music Festival bring before the future citizens of Honolulu fine musical ideals?

A distinct advance was made this year in that respect when the "dress rehearsal" was given to some 700 school children who were in Mrs. Tucker's chorus and no charge was made.

It has, too. They are coming in a little faster than we can take care of them. Aye, there is the rub. We have so few young men who will give a night a week persistently to a boys' club. The chief excuse for refusing this sort of work is now done away, viz.: "I don't know what to do if I come." Mr. (I'l'.rien is on hand to start a man right,— run bis club for him until he can do it himself. There arc activities enough to keep the boys busy, such as. indoor baseball, basketball, first-aid-to-the-injured exercises, (Mr. Q'B. is past master in this form of instruction,—himself the editor of a manual on the subject, and his boys frequently victors in contests), outdoor football, basebai'. hockey,—and a long list of other amusements. The competitive element among the clubs furnishes a healthy stimulus and the sports arc fine bait to catch boys with. It must not be forgotten that the boys govern themselves under a carefully drawn-up constitution; they preside over their meetings, collect their own dues and keep a record of their own doings. Just now summer being fast upon us, we are planning for a special "bid" to catch the more privileged boys at Punahou and elsewhere. What more seductive offer to a boy than a camping trip? A complete offer of a most carefully planned camp for boys has been issued so that parents can see who is to "man" it and satisfy themselves of the wisdom of letting their boys go. How shall we get "privileged" boys interested in the Y. M. C. A.? Not by the inducements which the building down town can offer them. They have much at school and at their home. Some of them are fairly blase with autos and,— pretty nearly anything they want. This camping trip ought to bring them though and then we should hold them by wise handling and the added inducements which the new Y. M. C. A. building will afford. t W. in her progress of developeducation. In these beautiful islands, where the Chinese have been coming freely, for more than half a century, many Chinese children are being elucated in the fine schools of the Territory ; many reaching a high standard in their classes, and being a help and an example to the Hawaiian students. Some of these young Chinese have returned to China and arc themselves teaching in schools there, others are fitting themselves for a similar future usefulness. Perhaps at present there are some three thousand Chinese students in the schools of Hawaii. One Honolulu school has 200 Chinese students in at* tendance. Another one has 190 enrolled. Here these Chinese students mingle freely with the boys and girls of many other nationalities. Their presence is a real help to the Hawaiian children, and gives a good tone to the school work. There is no Chinese race question in Hawaii's schools, and all meet in the class room, and on the playground, in a most friendly spirit Chinese Love America. The Chinese are not Orientalizing our islands or our schools, but are being Americanized by the influence of Hawaii's American schools. The Chinese children learn to love America, and to honor the beautiful "Stars and Stripes" that float before every one of the 150 public schools of the islands. They learn of Washington, of honesty and truth, and soon take hold of the American ideas of freedom and liberty. Mr. Tsang Ilai, the Chinese Consul of Honolulu, on a recent visit to some of Hawaii's schools, was much impressed, as he stood before one assembled school, and heard the pupils give their flag salute. With upturned faces and pointing hand, they gave their beautiful salute to "Old Glory." And the Chinese children said: "We give our heads and our hearts to God and our Country; One language! One Country! One Flag!" with as true a spirit of enthusiasm, and patriotism, as did the white children. At another school, all the Chinese pupils gathered together to hear the Consul speak. He said: "Boys and girls, I am glad to see you. It is a fine thing that you have these free public schools. They can give you a good education. But don't forget your own language. Study Chinese as well as English. I want to give you a little advice. Be deligent! Don't be lazy! Study hard and give good attention to the instruction of your teachers.

It is not only a book knowledge that they acquire in these schools, but they are also taught how to do things. Of course in the early years of their study, chief attention is given, of necessity,'to the English language, and stories, object lessons, nature studies, make the children familiar with the most common things about them. They are also taught to be clean, and careful in their clothing, and are shown how to care for the health of the body. at vaCalisthenics are also introduced hours, with school times during rious games, running and marching. Breathing exercises are given and correct positions taught. Music and song make a pleasant and important part of the school work. In the higher grades, new work and new studies are introduced, but language must still hold an important place. Fortunately, however, for the Chinese REV. THEODORE A. WALTRIP school children of Hawaii, the schools reading, do not aim simply to teach Rev. and Mrs. Theodore A. Waltrip writing and arithmetic, although they are doing that and doing it well, but reached Honolulu Saturday, May 9, they are also teaching the children how and left by the same steamer the next portance. You cannot hold a high position unless you are educated. The Chinese 'Three Character First Book' says, 'If you do not learn of what use will you be?' Also the proverb says: 'If you cannot read and write, you are like a blind man.' You are Chinese boys and girls. So I hope you will also learn to read and write Chinese, so that you will not be 'blind men' even in Chi- day for Kahului. They were most enthusiastically welcomed by the townspeople and are now busily at work in the Union Church. If the expectations of the Maui leaders are realized, Kahului will some day be the business center of that island and Union Church will become one of the great factors in its larger life. All success to our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Waltrip, in keeping the interests of the Kingdom at the forefront in the developing life of this bustling little seaport. They are bulwarked with prayer. WORK AMONG WOMEN. Mr. and Mrs. K. Maeda find a very encouraging field .of work among the women of Ewa. There are few camps where there is any degree of family life among the Japanese. The presence of many families on the Ewa plantation offers an unusual opportunity, and we re- joice that our workers there are taking advantage of the situation and seeking to establish family religion. The influence of women and of the home is a great de- sideratum in the evangelization of the Japanese. Hawaii Cousins I. Paper Read at the Annual Meeting. By Mrs. B. F. Dillingham. In the year 1822 the spirit of the Lord walked beside the plow of a young farmer lad at work among the Herkshire hills in Western Massachusetts, and repeated the call given to Matthew, the publican, "Follow me." Like the apostle of old, the young man was ready to "leave all" at once, but a year lacked to complete his majority and his employer would not consent to shortening his time of service. The following twelve months, while filled with toil of every useful kind, were rich in lessons of patience and submission and served to strengthen the determination of Lowell Smith to become a preacher of the gospel. Clad in his "freedom suit," at 21 years of age, he attended a preparatory school, which at the end of two years enabled him to enter Williams College. The influence of this institution, intensified by the spirit that brooded over the ground whereon had stood "The Haystack." aroused in him the desire of self-denial, and throughout his college course his purpose was to become a home missionary. The theological seminary in �THE FRIEND Auburn, New York, was his home for three years and here, in company with many others who were going to the uttermost ends of the earth, he received the touch of consecration which determined his heart upon L'oreign Mission work. He found in his helpmeet, one who had been for three years in intimate fellowship with Mary Lyon, and whose soul was on fire for the Lord's work, though confidence in her own ability, or fitness for so great and solemn a life work as the wife of a foreign missionary, was not at all assured to herself at first. Since the first missionaries had gone to the Sandwich Islands mission no special information concerning its climate had been received. The general supposition was that it was hot and debilitating, and to one raised amid the rigors of eastern winters, the prospect of long service in an ecpiatorial climate was not assuring. An earnest plea to be permitted ten years in which to labor for Christ in this far away country was registered above, and the answer, rung out on the bells of time when the laborer was called up higher, was nearly sixfold. One hundred and fifty-nine days of weary life at sea were spent before making the port of Honolulu. The welcome by the "Brethren" already in the field was inspiring. Queen Kinau sent her carriage to convey the ladies of the party, Airs. Parker, Mrs. Diell and Mrs. Smith, to the mission premises. The carriage was a hand cart, in which they rode backward, their feet nearly touching the ground. The shocks experienced by the evidences of heathenism on every side, the seeming impossibility of the language as first heard, joy over their cordial reception, and comment on the salubrious climate were among the first entries in the daily journal. The historic house that is now the property of the "Cousins Society" and was at that time occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Judd, opened its doors to Mr. and Mrs. Smith for the time that elapsed before the general meeting at Lahaina assembled. Within a few weeks they were domiciled at Kaluaaha, Molokai, neighbors to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. Their first dwelling was a native house whose walls were three feet high, and whose covering permitted the frequent showers to enter. From the stones of a demolished heiau nearby, Mr. Smith soon constructed, with the help of natives, a better house, partitioned with mats, and reveling in the luxury of a wooden door, and a glass window. The study of the language was at once commenced and with the help of the small grammar and readers already printed, the first sermon was written and read to the congregation within the first four months. Within the first year, thirteen or more sermons were prepared and much work in Sabbath and day schools accomplished, as well as personal work among the people. After a year at Molokai, the general meeting decided that Mr. Smith had become sufficiently fluent in the language to be given a station by himself. Ewa was designated as a most important district, where as yet no center of missionary labor had been established. Ewa included Waianae and it was truly a wide spread parish. Rarely, was the trip made overland from Honolulu. Double canoes paddling within the reef were the usual mode of conveyance. Building materials for home and church edifice were derived from the soil of the district, the large adobe bricks being made durable by the generous admixture of manienie grass. The mountains furnished timber for rafters, beams, posts and sills. It was a hand to hand task truly, and with largely unskilled labor, progress was slow. (To be continued.) RECORD OF EVENTS.
