The Atlantic Battleship Fleet.
The week of the Fleet's stay in Honolulu was a joy to everyone. The city
did its best unselfishly to entertain officers and men. Hence whatever permanent impression its welcome left
ilpofl the visitors, its own memories are
very happy ones. The splendid spectacle of the coining of the twelve floating
fortresses matched by the silent departure of fifteen of thctn together
with the fairy scene of sixteen illuminated wonder ships, each with its flashing arms of light playing weird games
upon sky, mountain side and sea. will
never be forgotten. But far more significant than these pageants was the
revealed character of the men. If these
seamen as Honolulu saw them tell the
story of the average American youth,
and we believe they do, then America
is strong with a manhood more impregnable than a myriad < iflraltars, lithe lack of much healthy home restraint among our people it is a question whether the rigid but kindly discipline of the Xavy is nut worth far
more than it costs. Honolulu was as
quiet with its thousands of visitors as
at any other time. No lawlessness, almost no drunkenness, no noisy demonstrations, not even any of the boisterous self-assertiveness of American
college boys off on a lark were in evidence. The men acted like the gentlemen they arc. We never were more
proud of our Nation. One sailor at
night accidentally broke a window pane

round to pay the damage which it is

On the Sunday of the Fleet's stay,
one whose duty it is to look after violations of law. dressed in sailor garb,
mingled with the seamen on shore.
Meeting men who looked as though
they might not be averse to a shady
time, he asked, "Where can I get a
drink?" "Can't get nuthin in this
town today. Every place is shut tight
as a drum," was the response. A similar inquiry concerning haunts of vice
met a like rejoinder that Honolulu was
a clean town. This experience certainly speaks volumes for Sheriff laukea's integrity and sterling devotion to
duty, A base attempt to discredit him
has reacted upon its authors. The
withdrawal of support or at least the
lack of sympathetic backing on the part
of men, who should stand with him to
the end in his determination to attack
the social evil where respectability is
pinched, has made him so realize the
loneliness of his position that he has
refused again t'> stand for office.
Meantime his single handed tight
againsl tins curse has sent the Fleet
away with the conviction ••Honolulu is

any spark of manhood in him rally
about our Sheriff with Hie kind of
loyalty that loves courage and devotion
to duty? If Ilawaiians are wise they
will demand another term for Sheriff
[aukea. No one claims that he has
made no mistakes but his closing of
Iwilei during the presence of the
Reel when by winking at violation of
the law he might have retired from office with a handsome bank account is
witness enough that the Hawaiian race
can produce a real man. The Friend
lias consistently believed that given
half a chance there is the capacity for
sturdy honest twentieth century manhood in the Hawaiian. It believes so
still. Meantime it is a joy to reflect
that a few men whom some of the Tress
and more of the Public have been
ridiculing have won out in their fight
to have Honolulu decent when the
Fleet came. The canard that one or
more of these men attempted to prevent shore leave or to have it restricted
or to have pay day not fall during the
stay of the battleships in this port was
as untrue and as stupid as it was cowardly and mean.

FIRST IT IS POINTING (INDEX-LIKE W*~) to certain new facts concerning The Friend (a) It is
not new that Dr. Scudder is Editor in Chief, but it may be new to you and a number of new readers. Vigorous and
positive always, Dr. Scudder is putting new health into local politics and social life through the columns of The
FRIEND. Whether you hear him or not every Sunday you ought to read him.
(b) The able Secretary of the Hawaiian Board will have a page and anything that Mr. Oleson writes you will read.
(c) Dr. J. F. Cowan of Christian Endeavor fame will give us a page monthly.
(d) F. W- Damon will furnish a page of Educational Notes. This is the livest kind of an issue for you and
your family.
(c) Rev. W. D. Westervelt gives his attention to the Temperence issues here an on the Mainland.
ff) Rev. A. A. Ebersole will keep the Central Union Church news before the many who are interested.
(g) The doings of the Board's Missionaries is of transcendent importance to Board supporters. Mr. Frank
Scudder'fl handling of Notes from the Field has already won friends for the paper.
(h) The Sunday School interests of the Islands will have more than usual prominence. The Friend and The
Hawaiian Youth have united and three page* of matter at least will be under the direction of Rev. H. P Judd, who
will be ably seconded by Rev. E. S. Turner of Maui.

The Yacht Race.
The yacht Hawaii, built by popular
subscription in the Islands with the
hope of winning the Trans-Pacific
race, was decisively beaten by the three
other boats which competed. The winner was the Lurline. which made the
rather slow time of 13 days, 21 hours,
31 minutes and 43/ seconds from San
Pedro to Honolulu. Light winds were
responsible for her not covering the
distance as rapidly as when she won

hours, 38 minutes and (t seconds, which
was cut down some \y [/ hours by her
handicap. The Lady Maud did the distance in 15 days, 1 hour, 7 minutes and
7 seconds, her hadicap of a little more
than 8 hours bringing her the third
place. The Hawaii with almost the
same allowance took 15 days, 3 hours,
2$ minutes and 30 seconds of elapsed
time. It was a disappointment to the
Territory that its boat did not win.
The reason for it is believed to be two-
>
fold, fust excess of ballast and second too small sail area. There was no
adequate time after the completion of
the yacht to test out its capabilities
and adjust sail area and ballast to
them. Before the third race this will
be done and then better luck to our
boat, for everyone in Hawaii believes
that she has winning power. Meantime the race was a great success and
was thoroughly worth while.
Keio's Opportunity.
The voting baseball players from
Keio (iijiku have been warmly welcomed in Honolulu. Large numbers of
Americans have cheered their good
plays to the echo and especially during
the first i*f their slay wished them victory. Not a few have consistently fol
lowed them all through with this desire. Their failure to win more games
has been due to their willingness to
play matches on Sunday. More than
once the Sabbath has seen them pitted
against a fresh team after having play-
year.
*
Ed a hard game on Saturday. Their
manager is authority for the statement
that they objected to the Sunday
games on the ground that the young
men could not stand the pace, but their
objection was overruled. It is a great
pity that our Japanese friends did not
have moral backbone enough to stand
up for their rights and insist upon the
injustice of requiring them to play two
heavy games on two successive days—
a thing no American college team
would think of doiner. But they lost a
far larger opportunity than the mere
winning of games. This is a Christian
nation where Sunday is reverenced as a
rest day. Some parts of our nation
overrun by foreieners have in part
yielded their heritage. Hawaii has
been moved by contiguity to one of
these section;*—Northern California
and allows more forms of labor on the
weekly rest day than many of the
States. The business of baseball is one
of these. Xow the Keio boys had the
rare opportunity of refusing to play-
—
�THE FRIEND
on Sunday, first because baseball as a
business on that day (i.e. baseball for
money) is against the genius of America's rest day, and second because the
organized labor of the world is opposed
to all encroachments upon Sunday as
a rest day. If the Keio players, representing one of Japan's greatest universities, had recognized the fact that
as students they were their Nation's
advocates of ideals and had stoutly refused to play on Sunday as a part of
any money-making or business scheme
their action would at once have won
wide recof/nition. It would have been
quoted popularly all over the United
States and wherever the English language is used, to say nothing of its influence in the university life of the
world. Our visitors are a fine lot of
young fellows. They play ball well,
but they have thrown away the unique
chance of a great moral triumph that
would have reacted most widely and
favorably upon the influence of their
Nation, which needs just this sort of
patriotism. Anglo-Saxons love backbone and such an e\ idence of it as the
Keios have missed would have been
enthusiastically welcomed by all lovers of Japan in America, of whom The
Friend is one of the most ardent. Tt
is because we feel such friendship for
Japan that we speak so frankly.
More About Sunday.
Tt were well worth the effort of a
hundred editorials to evoke such a
splendid little bunch of hot shot as that
contained in the communication from
Fellow Editor Orramel H. Gulick on
another page. At a recent meeting of
our Editorial Hoard one of the most
ardent of our number suggested that
The Friend would improve with more
matter in a lighter or livelier vein. All
the rest said "Amen." For liveliness
Mr. Gulick's communication fills the
bill. It also gives the occasion for saying a bit more on the Sunday question.
That little editorial of last month
which gets such a basting could hardly
be expected to cover the whole ground.
It had but one objective, namely to
show that while the Church does not
(and should not) bother itself with
laying down rules as to how individuals
must act on Sunday in contradistinction with other days, it is tremendously
interested together with labor organizations and men lovers generally in demanding that business shall not rob
the world of Sunday rest. It goes
without saying that the Church also
enthusiastically backs the State in
safeguarding the right of worship on
Sunday. One reason why the Church
does not say to any man, "It is wrong
in God's sight to do this or that on
Sunday though it would be right on a
week day," is because the Church cannot agree upon the acts to be pronounced wrong. If John Knox and
John Calvin were to visit Honolulu in
the flesh and engage in a game of
bowls on Oahu College lawn some fine
Sabbath afternoon, doubtless Mr. Gulick would give them a sound rap in
the columns of The Friend and the
Hoard of Editors at least would hugely
enjoy the fun. For *the record reads
that when these two reforming
worthies met in Europe they played
bowls together on Sunday. The Puritan Sabbath has prevailed during a
small section of Church history and
over a portion only of the world.
We believe that this sort of Sabbath
in its more liberal form has meant vastly more for mankind than any other
that this world has ever known. We
would gladly see all men so situated
economically that they could and
would spend Sunday partly in social
worship and put the remainder of the
day into the cultivation, both in themselves and in others, of the very best
and noblest. In the ideal rest day nature and art and music, joy giving to
others, quiet kindly recreations and all
manner of social ministries will have
their place. Tt will be a day richer far
for humanity and for the individual
than anything ever dreamed about by
the Puritan. We believe that this sort
of weekly rest day is even now in
process of evolution. Men will tire of
the amuscmental craze even as they
did of the all day prosy preaching of
a former time. There will be swinging
to extremes but God is in His world
and His Son as Lord of the Sabbath
will bring all men to his largeness of
view in its use.
Hence the Church of today wisely
leaves the whole question of Sabbath
observance to the individual man in
communion with his God. But while
it exclaims with Paul. "All things are
lawful," it adds with him "all things
are not expedient."
It exposes the inexpediency of
spending the weekly day of rest in
mere physical relaxation to the neglect
of all else that goes to make up real
manhood. It places over against the
rifht of the individual to seek selfish
pleasure on Sunday the privilege of
safeguarding to the community the
priceless boon of social worship. The
man who devotes all Sunday to golfing, automobiling. baseballing, reading,
nature communing or any other aloneness is giving his vote in the most
effective manner possible to support
5
the proposition, "The Church and all
public worship of God should be abolished." If a man believes in his inmost soul that the Church is a human
necessity, a bulwark to the home and
to the nation, he must in order to be
honest connect himself with it, attend
its worship and do his part to make it
the ideal Church which the world
needs. In order to do this he must be
unselfish enough to adjust his Sunday
activities accordingly. Now all this
realm of ideal considerations the
Church may, should and does urge.
It will not attempt to legislate for the
individual. It will not say because it
has no right to do so, "This is wrong
on Sunday," but it will, if it be wise,
win men to such an ideal use of the
privileges of the day of rest and worship, that the individual man shall be
healthier in bod-, larger in spirit, fuller
of God and truer to the social whole
and that society shall realize more
completely its great possibility — a
family of loving serving brothers.
Mid Pacific Joy.
One reason for this joy is told on
another page by Mr. Home in his account of the new Kawaiahao teachers.
We were sorry to lose the old. We
now welcome heartily the new. We
also rejoice in our splendid Atherton
Memorial Hall. A few months ago
rumors of criticism reached the directors hinting at structural weaknesses
in the building. At once it was decided to investigate. The Territory was
searched for the most competent expert. He was found in the person of
Mr. James L. Young, the civil and consulting engineer employed by Uncle
Sam in his vast operations on Oahu.
Here was authority of the highest rankin the Union. Mr. Young made a most
exhaustive examination of the entire
building, foundation, stone and wood
work, carefully calculated all stresses
and prepared a most painstaking report. It is impossible to print this with
all its interesting details. Mr. Young's
two closing sentences give the gist of
his opinion of the stricture, "I feel
more than secure it. pronouncing your
building safe within the highest limits.
It reflects credit upon your board,
your architect and will be a lasting
monument to the donor." He also says
of its aesthetic impression upon him:
"The appearance of crudity, which has
characterized many structures of similar material has been entirely eliminated. The choice of roof-covering was
wise since it is one of the best modern
materials: the colors are superb and
tone in so beautifully with the walls
that you will have, when completed, a

The Temperance Plank.
There can he no doubt that the temperance wave has reached Hawaii.

of our old residents years ago: "I can tell

ago: "Ihe best schools we have are taught by

Those methods certainly were effectual in never forget that it was his great commission
and when his preaching fell upon
times that offered limited scope for the great
passion of his soul, he accepted willingly the
task of helping forward the kingdom in other
ways.
He came to Hawaii out of an atmosphere of
evangelism in the homeland. The great Nettleton was of his own kith and kin. He had
been an effective worker under the greater
Finney. He was nurtured of Providence for
the great pentecostal opportunities which he
seized here at Hilo. and turned to such account
in the early years of his ministry. "I preached
just as hard as I could." he writes. "There
was a fire in my bones."
As proofs of the power of his evangelism.
let me remind you that durin? the year ending
June. 1830, there were 5.244 admissions into
membership in this Haili Church; and that on
the first Sunday in July, 1838, just seventy
years ago next Sunday. 1.70s persons were received into this church on confession of faith.
Admitting that this was a great popular
movement, we must remember that it was not
an unthinking impulse. Men were made aware
of the seriousness of the step they proposed to
take, and they took it intelligently. With such
large numbers, relapses were certain, but it
was afterwards computed that only one out

of sixty failed to abide faithful. Very rarely
has a community withstood the demoralizing
influences of such a radical social and industrial overturn as the first Christian generations
of Hawaii withstood ; and few have maintainthey did, the
"d in such conditions so well
institutions and practice of religion ; and never
has such a record been witnessed before or
since among any native people.
There was power in the Word of God in
those days. As we try to recall those scenes,
we realize that we are standing within sacred
nrecincts. This is holy ground: for hither
God sent His evangelist: and here at his side
stood the teacher also sent from God, and here
the multitudes heard the Word and were
saved.

heaven will look down with smiles upon a redeemed land, upon a lost ocean gem restored,

Being dead, the men of the toilsome years
of the past still speak to us. The work they
loved is still the work that must be done.
The opportunity that came to them, has come
to us. The two great forces that are to count
in the progressive redemption of Hawaii are
those of a sane and earnest evangelism, and
of practical Christian teaching. We must not
forget the spirit and labors of these two men
of God, nor fail to catch some genuine inspiration from the thought of the communion
of saints, whereby those who yet labor on,
are compassed about with a cloud of witnesses
to the power of the grace of Christ.

cause to the utmost of our resources and opportunity. It is a moment of vision, backward

there is a clear moral distinction be-

tolerated. Sunday has two reasons for
being, both fundamental. The first is
the need for rest. The second is the
necessity for social worship. If a man

days every week, the physical demand
for rest will force him to take outdoor

It is a matter of deep regret to me
that Dr. Scudder should feel himself

KONA CHRISTIANITY.
From the following extracts from a
letter of Dr. Laker's we judge that the
Kona type of Christianity is not lacking
in vitality. Growing efficiency of workers, a workers' training class supplying
bright youth to other places, activities
among both men and women, the upholding of justice, fellowship of nationalities and denominations, and not the
least of all, —adversaries, —many adversaries, which Paul regarded as the sign
of a great open door. Dr. Laker says:
All of our workers at the Center grow
even more efficient, but often when we
think we have the best hold upon people
they disappoint us, yet we labor on.
One of Mr. Okunutra's more prominent converts has been suffering persecution. The Buddhists have combined to
cease buying at his store and to call in
their loans to him unless he renounces
Christianity and stops allowing services
in his building. He asked our prayers
and we are thankful that be has been
kept so far, but a part of those in the
Christian Association for Young Men
have yielded to pressure and withdrawn.
Mr. Okomura holds three services a
Sunday along the twenty miles at the
center of the Kona*.
One of our helpers is teaching English weekly to a class of Koreans who attend our Sunday School. We are glad
of fellowship with these Christian
Koreans, who have their own Evangelist
sent by the Methodist Board.
Our Central Church was beautifully
decorated for our Easter concert, with 7},
people present. The church building has
since been patched and painted inside
and out, and its warm flesh-color tints
set off its old koa pews and furnishings
excellently.
We are sorry to feel obliged to aid a
number of our brightest voting people to

The annual meeting of the Women's
Auxiliary to our Island Aid Department
was held at "The Watch-Tower" in
April, with 33 ladies present out of a

Preachers' meeting included an outline
of the Life of Christ, a Foreign Mission

MIYAGAWA WELCOMED.
Rev. Tsuneteru Miyagawa, whose
coming was announced in the July issue of The Friend, arrived on the Siberia on the 26th tilt., and taking up his
abode in the parsonage of the Xuuanu
Street Church, at once began a vigorous campaign by daily meetings with
evangelists and workers and by visitation and evening addresses.
The morning lectures in the Japanese
Y. M. C. A. occupy the hour from nine
to ten and are on the general subject
of the "Development of Christian
Thought." We are sorry that the large
space devoted to the Annual Meeting
at Hilo prevents us from quoting
largely at this time from his exceedingly valuable and inspiring addresses.
At the Welcome Meeting and Reception in the Makiki Church on Monday
evening, July 27th, addresses of welcome were given by Hon. I'. C. Jones,
representing the Hawaiian Hoard, and
Rev. (i. Motokawa, representing the
Japanese.
Mr. Miyagawa spoke on the "Progress of Christianity in Japan." Fifteen
years ago, he said, Prof. Inouye of the
Imperial University represented Christianity as hopelessly incompatible with
the Japanese national life. Today the
Government University at Kyoto has
a lectureship on Christianity and not
orilv the students but the teachers attend. Every Sunday the Christian
message reaches the ears of 50,000 believers in Japan.
Our campaign here, he said, must be
of the aggressive sort. Religion is looked
upon by many as a means of giving
people a comfortable hope. In this
campaign we are called to a different
expression of religion. It is to be a
fight. Success attained is no signal for
relaxation. If you have set out to win
100 people to Christ in a year and have
won them in six months vott are not
to stop and rest on your oars but aim
at 200. The business man who has
made $100 does not think of stopping
at that figure, he doubles his expectations and reinvests his gains.
Mr. Miyagawa holds at his tongue's
end an inexhaustible store of exquisite
gems of Japanese literature, which add
both beauty and force to his own original and charming style of speech. He
has the winning smile of a man who
loves men and enjoys life and humor, and
wit. forceful assertion and serious exhortation are mingled in natural fluency
in his scholarly sermons, so that men of
every class are equally fascinated by
his address.
DMTUAEHOPDRSWIMNAY ORK.
From
a Paper by Mrs. W. S. Terry.
A modern school is no longer madeup of Primary and Main school departments, but the Primary alone consists of Cradle Roll—babies tinder
three years; Beginners Department,
children from three to six years old;
Primary Department, children from
six to nine years old, and Junior Department, children from nine to twelve
years old.
Some of the reasons for these divisions are: ist. The children themselves are graded—select two children,
one five years and one right years—
they are in different stages of physical
and mental development — what at-
tracts one does not the other and the
teaching will be for one or the other—
both. Children of about the same
development should be grouped to-
not
gether.
2nd. Children are graded in day
schools, they are used to system and it
seems natural to them to have the same
in Sunday School.
I was talking with a small boy not
long since, he bad just started in school
and he said he went to Sunday School
and Monday School, a school in each
case on different days with different
subjects taught,
3rd. Through grading, enthusiasm
is produced and progress made.
—
4th. The order is better, system in
teaching is absolutely ess mtial to progress —what children usually learn in
Sunday School is disconnected, disjointed, fragmentary—we are supposed
to teach the text book, the Holy Bible
—not simply tell the stories, and paint
pictures of our own conception upon
the child's mind. And this leads me to
say that no method, up-to-date, back
date or any kind of date can be successfully tauirht without efficient, intel-
ligent, earnest, consecrated teachers;
back of them a Godly, wise, sympathetic superintendent; and back of him
a loving, whole-souled, able pastor.
The school once graded, we are called upon to introduce other features—
those following most naturally are
graded lessons; graded teachers, and
regular promotions or graduations.
Select some certain service, as "Children's Day," when these promotions
take place and the different grades can
thus furnish the material for the greater part of the program. If practicable,
seat your school according to grades—
so when Promotion Day comes, there
will be a change of seat —locality

The great meeting of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association in Hilo, reported fully in other columns of this

interested in Sunday School work. It
is to them as important as any other
department of Christian activity and
the interest in the schools is not confined to any one age.

appealed more to the heart and the

Schauffler terms it. One felt at the end
of the Association Day that much valuable instruction had been imparted and
helpful, practical suggestions had been
given. Live problems were discussed
intelligently, and the various phases of

The features of this day were the
parade, the "hoike" and the luau, all
of them popular means of entertainment, and the crowds that witnessed
the imposing procession of the Sunday
Schools as they marched through
llilo's streets led by the llilo band, the
multitude within the Haiti Church
yard, trying to get a glimpse of the
interesting exercises and the crowd of
eight hundred at the luau attested the
fact that Sunday School Jubilee Day
was highly appreciated.

Sunday was to many ■ no less interesting day than Saturday. It was
the great Jubilee day, the celebration
of the building of the Haili Church
fifty years ago. Like all the mornings
of the Convention week the sunrise
prayer-meeting started the day aright
in worshipping Cod and creating the
spirit of devotion.
The hour of ten found the auditorium of Haiti Church packed with
people interested in its present and
past and future. Decorated with cala

and other attractive adornments, the
choir loft and pulpit platform presented a beautiful and harmonious ap-

response, after which the offering was

dedication for the baptismal font presented by Mrs. Irene Ii Hollowav as
a memorial to her fatnilv. Seventeen
infants and two adults were baptized

class of Ihis kind is often the means of bringing whole families to the church and finally
to Christ. One of many cases, I have in mind,
that occurred during my Pansy Class experience. One Sabbath a dear little girl was
brought by her grandmother to our class. She
was happy at once and interested in every detail of our program. The two following Sabbaths she was absent and 1 was disappointed,
hut the third week she came with a radiant
face. Her grandmother told us the child's
father was an atheist and was very angry
when he found his little daughter had been to
Sunday School. He forbade her ever to go
again. She cried and pleaded hut he was
firm. The third Sabbath she threw her arms
about his neck crying. "Dear papa, please let
me go!" and she won his reluctant consent.
Before long the little sister came too and at
Christmas they persuaded that father to come
to the festival. There he met our pastor and
soon afterward was persuaded lo join the
choir. Before a year had passed the older
members of that family all joined the church.

Hawaii Cousins
The fifty-sixth annual report of the
Hawaiian Mission Children Society
has just been nublished and sent out
to its widely scattered members. The
printers have not only been very
prompt this year and brought the booklet out in due time, but have made It
very attractive in appearance. Three
photographs are given. Mother Parker's picture, though not a good one,
is the best that could be obtained, and
will be greatly valued by all who knew
lur. That of our missionaries, the
Delaporte family, will interest all who
have kept in touch with their great
and good work on Nauru, from year to
year. The new picture of the "Old
Mission Home" gives another view of
this most interesting spot. This number of the report will be especially welcomed by the absent members and by
ihe younger generation, because of the
presentation written by our Cousin

Another event of great interest was

there being no descendants of bather
Coan present, who drew the cords that

motto, "lie led them by the band."
bather Lyman's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were
there to honor their ancestor, and when
they had revealed, "The Good Shepherd," Judge F. l.vman and Mr. Kuftis

swung away from the memorizing of
Scripture. We have too many helps
and illustrations, blackboard and kindergarten appliances, so that the store
of helpful Bible knowledge is pitifully
small. What is learned tn votith is
never entirely lost. As
think into
this, my inclination is to question the
use of quarterlies.
A prominent authority in this work
says: "There arc a few things which a
child leaving a primary class should
know thoroughly, namely: The Lord's
I
I'raver, the ten commandments; the
beatitudes, the store of the birth,
childhood, death and resurrection of
Christ. He should know why Christ
came into the world; be should know
that through faith in Christ we are
saved; be should know thai (lod. the
Father, is love and desires the salvation of all men."
To aid in the promotions a well-kept
class record by a secretary will prove
helpful to the teacher and superintendent, and stimulating to the pupils. The
devices for the same arc main and
various, and choice can be made according to the taste of the individual
teachers.

taught,—first and last the Bible. Let
