Bishop, as the oldest survivor of the missionaries in Hawaii formerly in tln- But the sad and deadly mischief of all this delusion is that belief in the Bible as containing the Word of God has been very generally undermined in the popular mind, and even our public editors do not hesitate to speak of (iod's Commandments with contempt. Very extensively also, leading Churches and Divinity Schools have openly abandoned the plain teachings of Christ and His Apostles, and permit themselves to teach contrary doctrines under the name of "new Theology.'" Altogether this constitutes a great and formidable Apostasy. I desire here and now to hear my solemn testimony against tin's terrible tide of antiChristian error, in the name of the bathers who brought to Hawaii the Gospel of Christ, and who laboriously published the Bible in the Hawaiian tonTlC—a Book which now is treated service of the American Board, and also as having been for many years the editor of lilt friend, desires herein to express definitely his attitude of earnest protest against the present Wide-spread movement to discredit the authority and historical truth of the Bible.

In this we are more fortunate than most of our fellow countrymen who can never see the sight we saw, HOT reap a dividend, except in case of war when they will have to take il out m dory and invest anew in war debts. A third thing which trailed along that evening in the middle of the wake was the moonlight, or rather, the moonshine, of our bland and naive assurance to humanity that our hardhitting navy is a sort of a benevolent institution designed for the preservation of the peace of the world. "I larken, ye beligereut nations of the earth to our evangel of peace! Prepare if you will for war;«wc a-e doing nothing mit having our feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace.

Some Things That Were Not in the Wake. Constructive work does not thrive in the wake of the fleet. ()ur representatives this*vear have been voting away seventy per cent, of tile entire revenues of the government for a war budget. With war prospects so remote as ours, we question whether our government does wisely to speculate in war futures to the extent of seventy per cent, of its income. Might it not well devote a little larger percentage in constructive work? Thirty per cent, looks a trifle out of proportion for the entire executive. legislative and judicial departments of our government, its waterways, forestry, postal service, lighthouses, consular and diplomatic service, and the various other lines of con- structive work. Commerce does not find encouragement in the wake of the Fleet. True it comes out and makes its how at the passing of the battleships; like the cuckoo in the clock at the passing of the hour, hut then it retires to consider how soon its day will have been told off; for the constant increase in war �September, tonß 7 i'llh.

L'hmalakua was next built, costing about $1,400 and Keawakapu repairs amounted to the same figure. The total sum of money spent in this one district of Maui for repairs and building is * 1,600. all of which, except the generous help of $850 from one Maui friend, was raised by the Hawaiian people, many of whom have deprived themselves of new clothing and necessary improvements on their bouses that these long neglected duirchcs might be repaired. With the exception of a small sum on the I'lu.lalakua Church, there is no debt on these three churches. The Maui agent has just completed a tour of Molokai, including I'clekunu and Wailau. These two places are very seldom visited by sirangers, because they are so difficult of access. At I'clekunu the aircnt has recently repaired the tumbled down church, and it Wailau an order of lumber has just been shipped to make over the little church, which was carried twenty feet inland by a high wave three years ago. ()n the other side of the island Rev. I. I). laea has been working up a sort of religious revolution at Kaunakakai and Kaluaaha. The latter, almost neglected before be came there, is now well attended every second Sunday when he preaches. In five months seventeen new members have been received into the church and tvvlve more have promised to join at the next communion. At Kaunakakai the attendance is about eighty-five every Sunday. Here Rev. Mr. laea will have added by (October tst twenty new members. He has exerted his influence for good over the entire island, stopping the excessive drinking in some places, and has successfully put an end to the practices of the kahuna. We are glad to report that by the time the Maui .Association meets at Kaluaaha, Rev. Mr. laea will have a new parsonage in which he can entertain the members of the Association. Two pamphlets have been recently printed in Hawaiian on Bible study, and are to he freely distributed over Maui, Molokai and Lanai through the generosity of Mrs. H. P. Baldwin. We are confident that these helps will furnish much new material for thought and Bible study among our Hawaiian R. B. D. Christians. �THE FRIEXD 8 The Scribe's Corner REV. WM.

That's one of the reasons why everything else moved on so happily and profitably, and why Hilo is such a blessed memory to us all. J M ,* Hawaii's opportunity. Our religious forces in this Territory are under special obligation to keep tin people of mainland America thoroughly] well informed as to the past and present of our religious activity. This obligation' forcuses itself first of all in our ditty toj interest the givers of the mainland in helping to prosecute larger efforts than can he easily sustained by our giving constituency here, ft also centers itself in the desirability of interesting and attracting hither men and women who will reinforce Christian institutions and agencies, and help to maintain lure the standards of the most enlightened Christian com munities elsewhere. There is another phase of our obligation, viz., our duty to contribute to the clearer appreciation of the permanent value of missionary effort. In some respects. Hawaii presents the most compact and complete illustration of September, 1908 September 10.—Hawaii Association at what missions can accomplish. For there is a vital connection between the labors Piiula, Puna. of the missionaries and every phase of September 17.—.Maui Association at Hawaii's evolution. A splendid opportunity lies right ahead for the Christian people of Hawaii to reach a large and influential constituency with information that will greatly quicken interest in us and our work. fhe mission boards aiid religious bodies of (ireater Boston are planning to hold a monster educational exposition in that city in the fait of 1909. "The plan and SCope of the proposed exposition includes almost a bewildering array of educational features; tableaux, pageants, dramas, illustrated lectures, and addresses by celebrated missionary speakers. Boston is an ideal place in which to try this plan which has been so helpful recently in Great Britain. The seat of the two oldest foreign boards, the second center of population in the United States, and with denominations working in close accord, Boston should achieve a great success in this venture." N'ovv Hawaii ought to be amply represented in this exposition. Any fair appraisal of the effect of missions here should comprehend the entire progress of the country in its material, social, educational and religious development. There will be little call for what is bizarre. Charts, pictures, products and whatever else would appeal to intelligent observers should be provided in profusion. A year's orcparation under the skillful guidance of a select committee ought to secure a representation of'Hawaii at Boston that will prove, even on the material side, one if the best advertising schemes yet devised. .■* ■* .«* The early missionaries to Hawaii had "\pert educators and statesmen among -hem. Tt will always he to the honor of 'hose far-seeing men that they gave a broad interpretation to their missionary hit v. and were innovators of policies that have since been adopted by missionary •'geiicies the world around. To be sure •onie organizations have come into the field with their recognition of such facts father late in the day: and then even without realizing that they were some eighty years slow. Thus The Churchman, in commenting on the results of the Pan-Anglican Congress, says:"The missionary today does not go out with his i-onfessional standards as he once did. The Pan-Anglican Congress, if it has lone nothing else than this, has given unmistakable, undeniable proof, that missions demand education, statesmanship md w'sdoin. not piety or good intentions alone." The fall meethifs of the Island Associations will be held as follows: Pukoo, .Molokai. October 7.—Oahu Association at Kaitmakapili Church, Honolulu. October 16.—Kauai Association at \\ aimea. jt A .-* How prosaic figures arc until they are given a graphic setting! Here is Dr. Dennis in "The Xew Horoscope of Missions" telling us that "there was an average of at least 2600 communicants admitted to Christian churches in mission fields every Sunday last year. We could have taken possession of one of our large church edifices and packed it to the doors, morning and afternoon every Sunday for the past twelvemonth with a fresh throng of Communicants at each service, claiming their places for the first time at the "Lord's Table." We are in the day of small things here in Hawaii, and yet there were 535 admissions to our churches the past year on profession of faith. That would mean what would be equivalent to an addition of ten new members to Central Union or Kawaiahao Church every Sunday of the twelvemonth. If we could look on such a sight as that fifty-two times each year, we would conclude that the Gospel certainly was getting hold of some people. A A ,•» J* Jl J» We would all like to live as long as we can, and most of us would certainly like to live longer than we expect to. And therefore when any man comes Forward and undertakes "to frame an optimistic conception of life." and to do it on a scientific basis, we hail him as a public benefactor. The recent volume of Metchnikoff of the Pasteur Institute, on "The Prolongation of Life." is a serious discussion of the probability that life can be prolonged, and that too happily and usefully, through the conquering of disease, and the quickening of the sense of life. fhis latter is to be secured through the fostering of an optimistic spirit. The grave defect of the author seems to be in ignoring the profoundest optimistic force in human life. viz.. a sane, and rational, and satisfying religious faith. ()ptimism is not a plant that grows in a barren or shallow soil. It is notoriously the path of the just man that sbineth more and more unto the perfect day.

An Educational Epoch. September is one of the most inter ,-sting and important months in the calendar of the Territory, tilled to the brim with promise and prophecy. rhousands of young people gather there to face the beginning of a new school year. Hundreds of new faces are in the throng. All nationalities ue represented. New members have formed the different faculties. It is a time of new hopes and resolutions; there is a joyful expectancy, a mental "hum" in the air, which is filled, with the breath of youth's spring time. Never has there been a September in Hawaii of which this can be more trulysaid than this particular one on which we have entered in the good year of M-oX. A fine fervor has attached all our schools, some in an usual degree. Oahu College is strengthening along all lines and will, we trust, forge along the way which leads to a real collegiate status. Kamehameha rejoices j" its magnificent new industrial building, one of the finest owned by any school in the world.

After a few remarks on the material progress of Japan, as illustrated in the magnificent new ocean liner, the lenvo Martt, which from keel to topmast is of Japanese construction, Mr. Miyagawa called attention to the fact that l.ipan is far behind in the higher ideals of progress. \t this a howl of dissent arose from several quarters, and one newspaper reporter, with threats, dc dared thai the speaker sin,old not be allowed to proceed. The audience, however, determined to hear, drowned] him out with their protest against disH turbance. Time and again as the uproar subsided, the obstreperous objector interposed'an emphatic "Hut," and every time his word-- wen- cut short by the shouting audience, till it seemed as though the meeting might end ill a riot.

All through these islands are many that never enter into the privileges of the Sunday School. P.ring them to the -chinil with you and try to interest them in the study of the Bible. Wide-awake and growing SundaySchools in every community mean sources of righteousness and helpful service anion"' all people. Not only should the influence of each school he felt among its constituency in their spiritual uplift and development of character but the usefulness of each school in advancing the Kingdom of Heaven among those who know not the Christ should be worked with advantage. 'I'o this end tlv missionary spirit should he cultivated by superintendent and teadicrs alike. So Sunday School "liveth unto itself" nor does it exist solely for its own benefit. A dying Sunday School may he revived if the missionary spirit be instilled into the leaders of the school, do go out and bring in < titers, to be interested in the Christian work among all the various nationalities here and in the work among other lauds to the extent of giving time, sympathy, prayers ami financial help—this is to keep alive the spirit of missions, the very life itself of Christianity. 'I'be month of September will find the Hawaii Association meeting at Puula in Puna and the Maui Association gathering together at Kaluaaha Molokai.

We should be open to all reasonable suggestions and be on the lookout for new methods, few of our SundaySchools can be said to he ever-organized. A brief survey of the field will lead one to the idea that we need teacher-training classes or courses of study; that we need a home department in every church and Sundayschool, that we need adult. Bible classes and elementary classes that shall be efficiently led by capable men or women, that we need to develop healthy missionary zeal and create the strong temperance spirit in all our schools. We feel the need of all these things and therefore desire to meet the need of them by using the time and talents of loyal Christian workers. Reader, will you not do what you can to aid us in the great Sunday School work? We need scores of men and women in this form of service. Let the Superintendent know of your desire to help and he will try to place you where vnn can serve your Master in leading others to know and follow Him. ,« A A ,«* J* ■•* THE CHILD FOR CHRIST. E. B. Tt-RM K. The Christian world is awakening to the value of the child soul. And for this most significant fact, we must largely thank The International Sunday School Association—that wonderful blessed body of consecrated men and women which is directing the Bible study of over twentyfive million of people. Our proposition tonight is that the child must he won for Christ. I should like to put that statement in italics, in red letters, underline it and emphasize it in every wav possible. There is no fact in all our religious thinking, both religious and secular, that needs emphasis as does that fact. SOMI-.

Protestant or Roman Catholic. Who are these non-church goers' They are for the most part, of Protestant birth and affiliations. Roman Catholics are faithful church attendants. There is only one explanation why the people of the Roman Catholic faith are so obedient to their church's requirements. It is this: the early, continuous, studious and thorough training of the child. Francis Xavier. the great Roman Catholic priest of India, said: "Give me the children until they are seven yean old. and any one maytake them afterwards." Xavier would go through the streets of (ioa ringing a bell. entreating parents to send their children and slaves to he instructed. Through the lives of the young be left bis impress upon India. STARTLING FACTS, still question whether the ProChurch is neglecting her youth? Here are two facts: r 1.—Nine-tenths (<)O /r) of those who come into the membership of the Protcstirte churches in our country, do so before they are twenty years of age. and of our communicant membership comes from the Sunday Schools. 2.—The Church has permitted multitudes of youth to drift from its doors forever into the world. Through a comparison of the number of children in attendance upon Sunday Schools with the number of children within the scholastic age nf <■ and 18 years, as reported periodically through our national census, we may say, as a conservative estimate, that 40T of the Protestant unchurched masses were once within the pale of the Church. There are today 1,,000.000 hoys and girls in our country who never cross the threshold of a Sunday School, cither Protestant or Roman Catholic. Do yon testant PMjtJDICE pis.vi'i'i'.AuiNi;. 1 am very glad to say that much of the It has been carefully estimated that less than 30 per cent, of our population old-time prejudice in connection with �THE FRIEND September, 1908 child conversion is being done avvav with. I suppose this prejudice originally developed from the feeling that children did not sufficiently know just what a decision for Christ meant. But some of us feel that children know more about this subject than older ones do. It is certainly true that the children are not far from the Kingdom of heaven. I am sure that our great Leader, Jesus Christ, was never in sympathy with any effort made to discourage child decision for Him. When the disciples, so like many of this generation, rebuked the mothers for disturbing Christ with their children. He said, "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." We can never forget the woe this supreme Lover of childhood pronounced upon those thoughtless ones, who cast stumbling blocks in the way of His little ones. Let us he doubly careful that the mill stone condemnation be not the fate of any of us. BIBLE stands FOR CHILD CONVERSION. There is .sufficient testimony from the Scriptures that the Bible stands for child conversion. We read of John the Baptist, that be was "tilled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb." Was it not Timothy of whom Paul said, "Prom a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures." There was little Samuel, who "ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod." The Jewish parents early taught their children, that the fear of the.Lord was the beginning of all wisdom. When Jesus asked that significant question of Peter. "I.ovest thou me?" I am glad that He first said, "Feed my lambs." Xot until He speaks the second time does Jesus say, "Feed my sheep." Why? P>ecause the lambs are the hope of the flock. flu- church of the future is the child of today. .Many of the early fathers were converted at a young age. Polycarp, martyred at the age of 95, declared that he bad served God 86 years, showing that he was converted at the age of 9 years. Matthew Henry, who wrote a standard commentary upon the liible, found his Savior before he was 11 years old. Jonathan Edwards says that he was converted at 7 years of age. Isaac Watts, the great hymn writer, saw the light at <' years of age. Joseph Gregg, when a child of 10 years, wrote the beautiful hymn— "Jesus and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee." Matthew W. Baldwin, of Philadelphia, the well-known builder of churches, as well as of locomotives, experienced a change of heart at an early age, and al- ways showed the greatest sympathy with children early deciding for Christ. WHY PREJUDICE IS DISAPPEARING. Perhaps for two reasons, the old prejudice on this subject, is becoming a thing of the past. It is due first to a revival in Personal work. 'I'be Christian Church, with its great lay army, is just awakening to a sense of its immense opportunities. Years ago the minister was deputed to talk to individuals about their soul's salvation. Today every man and woman who loves the Lord Jesus, recognizes his own, and her own responsibility in this matter. This is the only way, when every disciple is a witness, that the world will ever be brought to the feet of the lowly Xazarenc. Hut there is also another revival that has tended to emphasize the necessity for child witnessing. And that is a revival of the teaching function of the church: the placing of a larger emphasis on a studied Word. And in proportion as Christians know the Wr ord of God, they will be more willing to use it. Possibly some are still saying. "Put why make any such special effort to win the child to Christ? Just let him grow up naturally. He will probably come out all right in the end. Religion is a thing anyway which can not he forced upon child or man." Why make a special effort to win the boy and the girl to Christ, when they are yet in their youth? WHY WIN Till-: BOY AND GIRL TO CHRIST YOUTH. I can think of three good reasons: IN THEIR 1. Adolescence has often been shown to be the psychological time in which to make lasting life decisions. It is easier to definitely decide to accept Christ in one's youth, than at any later period in life. The heroic nature of Christ's life; 1 lis life of ministering unto others and His sufferings all appeal tremendously to the young heart. Do you ask how old a child should be, before he definitely decides for Christ? Does that not depend wholly upon the individual child and upon his previous home training? Xot all children are made after the same pattern, and each child is worthy of an individual study. I imagine more decisions have been made for Christ, centering about the age of twelve than any other age. A child is old enough to love Christ, when he is old enough to love father and mother. 2. Youth is not only the easiest time in which to decide for Christ, but there are nine chances out of ten that the decision will never he made, if not made in youth. Seventy per cent, of the men in our state penitentaries and reformatories are 15 men under years of age. \\ bo is to blame? Lord Shaftesbury, speaking out of his lifelong experience and study. said that it had been his observation that if a hoy is kopt pure and true up to 20 years of age. there is only one chance in fifty against hitn as to an honorable life voting thereafter. Some of the good people sitting before me tonight know absolutely nothing of the temptations that beset young men and young women, especially after they have left home and begun life in the larger cities. ()ur youth are surrounded by tons of infamous printing: the dime novel is thrust at them from every news stand; immoral and obscene pictures secretly find them through the mail. Anthony Comstock. the Secretary of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, says: "Like the fiery serpents of old. this poisonous literature is moving against these millions of developing souls, infecting them with moral leprosy, stinging them to death." f haven't time to more than mention the insidious temptations to drink and gambling with all their debasing and debauching accompaniments. Their terrible effects are seen all about us. The overwhelming distractions of our modern social life is doing much to drive our voting people away from the Church and the Christ. Thousands of our young men and our voting women are drifting on the currents of worldliness, commercialism, materialism. Sabbath pleasureseeking and social dissipations that surge through all life. It is time that we were asking, "How is it possible to counteract such soul'I'be public destroying influences-" schools do not teach the Word of God— and, oh ! the pity of it. f would rather my boy learned character anil to do right, than to know by heart all the books in the world. 3. The third reason why the child ought to be won to Christ, when yet a child, is because God does not want the fag end of his children's lives. It is the height of contemptable meanness for any man to serve the world and the devil all through his active years of usefulness, and then hope to give his rightful King the last few hours of his wasted, misspent life. God wants our best service and He has a right to it, for all that we are, or hope to be, is His. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND THE HOME. I am sure you have anticipated the answer to this question of how we shall save our young people. They must be saved while they are still in the home and in the Sunday School. How win the child for Christ is a ques- tion which interests us all. The Moravian brethren have so brought up their �. September, iyoB nil-; FkiK.xn 16 children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord that not t ne in tell of the members of that church recollects any time when he began to be religious. In every church where there are young people there ought to lie a Pastor's class, which should aim to lead the boys and the girls of the church into the Christian life, to make plain the way of salvation and to explain the doctrines of the church, When such a class is available every parent ought to see to it. that his children are in that cla*S. It is only through some such means a- this, that our boys and girls become praying and speaking Christians. In this day. special, efforts are being made to win the scholar in ,the Sunday School to an open confession of faith .in the Master. It is the aim of all.schools who are alive to this question, tv ha v.: such a spiritual tone about them constantly, that it will be the most natural thing in the world, for our boys and girls to make in the school, their confession pf their Savior. Every school ought to have at least mice a year a Decision Lav, or as it is more favorably known, a Witnessing Pay, when for a month previous to tin'dav. specia) effort will be made by teachers and officers, to bring the older scholars to a decision for Christ. This work can not be done in a hurry, and to be a success, it must have the prayerful cooperation of every teacher. I.yen after the decision has been made, tin following up work is of great importance. That new babe in Christ must be fed upon a milk diet: it must be carefully and prayerfully nursed and taught: must be given Something to do. or else it will fuse interest in the Christian life. Important as is the Church and Sun day School in bringing our children to a decision for Christ, these agencies can not compare in importance with the home.
