That Commission Again.
Is there any guarantee from the kind
of men sent here by President McKinley as officeholders that Hawaii would he
any hetter off if ruled by commissioners appointed in Washington?
Would it be easier for Trusts to control
Hawaii through a Commission? If the
( ommission should prove untrue to popular interests, would redress be easy to
secure from a Congress hard of hearing and 5000 miles away? As it is now
we have a fair chance to better matters every two years, we have an educatahle popular conscience—witness the
anti-liquor triumph in the late Republican county convention—we have 1
listening court of last resort, the voters, and we have ways to make them
hear. Washington City is under the
eve of Congress, is the Nation's pride
and is visited by every Congressman's
constituents who would tret busy if the
government of the capital were corrupt. But Hawaii has none of these
advantages. She is far worse off than
the Philippines in this regard. The
preponderance of the native races there
(rives a fulcrum for a mighty appeal to
the conscience of the Nation.' But Hawaii falls in between and is easily overlooked. The continued application of
the coastwise laws to these Islands in
the face of their remission in the
Philippines shows this. Liberty lovers fear the tyranny of rule by a few
even when that few are good men.
For good men can he fearfully hard
and unjust. When the many hold the
power, the demand for en education
that shall render them able wisely to
wield it is irresistible. Commission
rule is an easy way out of our difficulties. Is it a manly or a Christian
escape ?

Sure enough the inevitable came. Japan failed to measure up to the visionary standards of

Bishop Awdry now comes to the front
with his kindly corrective, showing
that Japan has not deteriorated, that
on the contrary she is moving on to
higher things as steadily as ever, that
the world expected too much of her
and that his prophecy of disappointment had come true. Recognizing it
as a time for the exercise of real friendship the Bishop calls upon his countrymen to quit harsh judgment, to recognize Japan's honest effort to advance and to reciprocate it by the helping hand. The Bishop is right, the

Give All Civilizations Free Play in
This Territory.
We are fond of boasting of the suour Anglo-Saxon civilization. Yet mainland Americans especially along the Pacific coast cherish a
haunting fear that if the civilization of
Asia he given half a chance it will make
short shift of its nobler competitor.
Now in this day of evolutionary
science either the boast or the fear is
an idle superstition. If Anglo-Saxein
civilization is the higher it will prevail.
If it cannot best the civilization eif Asia
the sooner it goes to the wall the better, feir there is no more inexorable
truth in the universe than that which
dooms the less fit to extinction. Fortunately Hawaii can laugh in its sleeve
both at the cocksureness of the Anglo-Saxon's boast anel at his craven
fear. We know that we have something which the new noble worlel civilization must possess that Asia lacks

This has been heretofore an expression of elisparagement. It has become
a habit with some people to use this
phrase, and to do so monotonously.
Probably the habit cannot he easily
overcome. It is difficult for us to break
away from phrases that have become
automatic, and we would not plead for
any such radical reversal in our phraseology. But we can put a new meaning
into the Words, that will satisfy the
(acts, and correct what may he amiss
in our usage.

morning the members of Sunbeam
class, the Infant department of the
Sunday School, throng the room and
pour forth their cheery songs through
window and through door. With alternate room for their work and a place
so attractive and easily accessible we
are leieiking for a large increase in the
attendance of the little folks. One
hundred in regular attendance is the
superintendent's aim, and at the present rate of increase this can easily he
realizeel by Christmas time.
The mid-week service and Christian
Endeavor meeting on Sunday evening
have also been transferred to this new
room. The splendid lighting and the
wielc, inviting doorways on siele and
front make this an ieleal place for these
semi-social meetings of the Church.
Even passers-by on the street car
have been overheard to remark upon
the attractiveness and checrincss of the
room. It cannot fail to increase the attendance upon both these meetings.
Indeed the increase is alreaely evident.
The trustees are to be congratulated
on planning anil building for the
Church such an attractive and useful a
building. More and more as the various organizations of the Church come
to use it will its real value to the
Church's life become evident.
The increased attendance and more
general interest manifested in the midweek services the past month has been
most encouraging. If in the carrying
out of the new program of topics the
spirit of real devotion present in every
one of the meetings this first month
can be preserved then will the pro-
phecy of "N,ew Life in the Old Prayer
Meeting," be really fulfilled. A number of new voices have been heard in
the meetings so far anel many new
faces seen in the audience. If every
member of Central Union will become
sufficiently intercstetl to come at least
to one meeting a month a great good
will be accomplisheil anel every meeting wouhl he well attended. This is
our ieleal for this year. We believe
that we shall come very near realizing
it.
The following subjects were consielered at the meetings this month :
THE FRIEND
Sept. 2—"What 1 should like my
Church to be."
Sept. ()—"How I find Christianity
practiced."
Sept. [6—"The New Life in Japan."
Sept. 23—"The Spiritual Messages
eif Whitticr."
The meeting of September 16 deserves especial mention. Seldom indeed is a missionary meeting so thoroughly enjoyed by all as was this one.
In the first fifteen minutes a half dozen
short, well-chosen points were prescnteel by some of the members of Section
"C," which is the section that is especially responsible for the thirel meeting
each month, and then Rev. Hilton
Pedley, of Canada, who is returning to
his work in Japan, and who stopped
over with friends one steamer in Honolulu, was introduced and greatly interested and impressed all in a thirtyminute address on what he considers
the unmistakable signs of "The New
Life in Japan." After hearing him
those who were present could understand how men like Mr. Pedley were
going hack to their work with such
eagerness. "It is a great privilege,"
as he Said, "to be at work among a
people who is moving forward with
such mighty strides as is the Japanese,
nation today."
The Sunday School is planning for
a three-month's campaign for new students, beginning with Rally Sunelay.
Oct 4. and ending with the last Sunda}- of the old year, Dec. 27. The city
will he divided into three or more elivisions geographically with an equal
number of students in each division,
the students to belong to the division
in which they live. Each division will
be headed by a captain and two lieutenants, who are to see that a thorough
canvass is made of their respective districts for children not now attending
any Sunelay School. To encourage the
stiielents tei get eiut and work anel as a
slight recognition of their work every
student who succeeds in bringing in at
least one new student will be given a
badge as a mark of distinction, at the
close of the campaign, other awards of
merit will be given to those who have
done the best work and public recognition will be made both of the individual
workers and of the division that succeeded in introelucing the largest number of new stiielents. The ministers in
their visitation work are constantly
coining across families in which the
children arc attending no Sunday
School. By a united effort the school
now proposes to find these children
and bring as many as possible into
9
regular attendance. With its present
equipment Central Union Sunday
School could take care of many more
stiielents. The children are in Honolulu anel will come when the right kind
of invitation is given ami the proper
effort is put forth to bring them in.
At the autumn Communion Service,
Sunday, Oct. 4, a number of new members were received into Central Union
Church. The following come by letter
from other Churches: Rev. anel Mrs.

We notice in the September issue of

to the celebration of the eightieth anniversary of this noble society, earl) in

girdles the world with its fine ministry to the highest needs of the "toilers
of the sea," has peculiar claims upon
our grateful regard. Far hack in the
past century it initiated work in Hawaii, which has been fruitful in large
and beneficent results. We publish in
this issue the reproduction of an old
drawing of the historic Bethel Church,
the frame of which was sent out from
Boston and erccteel in 1833, under the
auspices of this society. The first

Educational Advance

COMRADESHIP IN EDUCATIONAL
WORK.
It was a pleasure anel inspiration to
see recently representatives from the
teaching force of nearly all the schools
of our city, meeting in a social gathering,
one of our lieautiful summer afternoons. Many were new arrivals anil they
met for the first time others who had
been connected with the educational work
of Hawaii fur many years. It was, to
quote a favorite phrase of President
Wheeler of the University eif California,
"good to he there," in such an assembly
of men and women devoted to the highest and most important of vexations. Tn
a way we would hope that this jiarticular gathering may serve as an in formal
initiation, in our social life, for this coming year, of what Walt Whitman was
pleased to call "the fine institution of
gooil comrades," made up. in this instance, of teachers from our varied
school life. We have hern pleased to
see that a movement is being made by
our friends of the public schools towards
resuming the Teachers' Association of
other days. This should be earnestly
presseel, as it will prove of much and
lasting gooil tei the large body of teachers in our midst. We trust that the
"social" note will be sounileil prominently, either in this connection or in some
auxiliary organization. Those who are
bearing the heavy burdens of the classroom and superintend thousands of children day after day. in a tropical climate, need the relaxation ami at the same
time upbuilding and strengthening influence eif generous and hearty social inon

Notes From The Field
FRANK S. SCUDDER
The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto Treasure Hid in
Many who have followed with interest the work of Rev. Tsuneteru Miyagawa in his campaign among the Japanese of these islands will be glad to
see a sketch of one of his addresses.
For this purpose we have chosen his
address on "I'nchanging 'Truth." one
of the discourses in his series of morning lectures to Christian workers under the general subject of the Development of Christian 'Thought.

UNCHANGING TRUTH.
Abstract of an Address to
Christian
by Rev. Tsuneteru Mlyajcawa.
Workers
( )ur beliefs are composed in part of
absolute, unchanging truth, and in part
of ideas which people commonly hold
in regard to truth. Sometimes a belief behind which we have been firmly
entrenched is shown to be questionable
or untenable and our faith receives a
severe shock, whereas if we examine it
we shall find that what we were dinging to was not an unchanging truth
but one of the everchanging opinions
of men about that truth.
Groping for a Basis.
In studying the great tragedy uf the
death of Christ, 1 found such difficulty
with many of the common explanations
that my faith was sorely tried. One
thing, however, was clear to me, that
Christ had elieel feir me, anil that clear
assurance became the unshakable basis
of my faith. So in viewing the great
fact of Christianity in the world, beginning as it diel in Judea, spreading to
Greece and Europe and filling the
earth, permeating the lives of individuals, eif the home anel of society, the
spirit and teaching of Christ is expressed in constantly varying types,
and 1 wanted to grasp the unvarying
truth that runs through all these varying expressions of its life anel power.
What eliel John, Peter, James anil
Paul say? As a result of examining
their writings, it seemed clear thar

Christ's Legacy.
He left manhood as bis legacy tei the
worlel. lie took humble men. and by
an education of from one anel a half
tei three years, transformed them into
a band of masterly personalities who
have stirred the world. That he should
have made out eif Peter such a man as
he did was one of the masterly achievements of Christ.
John's bent was philosophy; Peter's,
activity; James's, ethics. These were
not sufficient. He must raise up Paul,
a theologian. Study the change in
Saul as affected by the noble death of
humble Stephen, and then as transformed by the vision of Jesus. He was
changed into Paul, —the organizer of
the Church.
Christ left these four men in the
worlel, with life in them. They were
four pillars established by him anil
they were the founders of the Church.
What about their theology?
Paul.
Paul's critics say he made many mistakes, hut it is plain that what Paul
grasps is the practical application, the
experimental essentials of Theology
c. g. in Horn. 8, from Christ he receivc'el
the "Abba bather," and life eternal
through him. This is an unshakable

The Test.
The life and thought anel morality of
Europe have been molded by Paul,
Augustine anel Luther, by Melancthon
too, and by the wonelerful Francis of
Assisi, who was the most like Christ
of any man. It was their likeness to
Christ that made them communicators
of life. Beecher ami Moody have affected the life of all America. What
each of these men received was life.
There is Campbell of London some
say he is a devil. To be sure, he is not
an adept at theology, but he has seized
upon the one point, life. And there is

was blind for a year and a half after
graduating, and was deeply impressed
with the reality of the Christian religion; but he was confuseel over the
benediction and never got over it. But
what a man he is at heart! The life
of Christ is there. His theology may
be open to criticism, but in the essential faith of his heart there is no wav-
:
ering.
People raise a great hue and cry over
these men, who while their theology is
divergent, yet in their lives are fireel
with the spirit of Christ. Persons apply for admission into the Church.
"Have you learned the ten commandments?" they ask. "Yes." "Can you
say the Lord's Prayer,"
"Yes."
"Have ynii memorized the creeel?"
"Yes." "All right, the examination is
satisfactory." So they say, and yet of
these men whose theology differs from
ours, although they are men in whom is
the spirit of Jesus and who through lifthave been valiant soldiers of his, they cry
out, Beware! Heretics!
1 would suggest to you what seem
to me to be the essential elements of
faith as presented to us by Jesus.
i.
I believe in the Father.
2.
I believe in him who gives me
life,—the Savior.
3. I believe in the Holy Spirit who
makes me anew.
4. I believe the Bible is an inspiration unto Salvation.
5. I believe in the Just Judgment.
6. I believe in eternal life.
7. I believe in the observance of the
sacraments of the Lord's Supper anel
Baptism.
And in all that you preach, preach

After the interesting exercises, there
was held a most solemn and impressive
service. The Rev. Mr. Kalawe was ordained ami installed as pastor of the
Puula Church anel given encourage-
ment and warm greetings not only by

The Puula Church with Mr. Kalawc
as pastor, with
a Christian Endeavor. Society just organized by the alert Mr. Xakuina, president of the C. P. of the Territory, and
with the impetus to progress and success given to it by the visiting ministers and delegates at the Association
meeting has promise of a bright future.
May the memory of our happy days
spent together in Christian fellowship

go out to them in great abundance.

anel yet as a direct result of the deliberations there, was the ordination and
installation of the Rev. Mr. Kaiwi as
pastor of the Opihikao Church. Five
ministers—the Revs. (i. L. Kopa, A. S.

and 11. P. Juilil—rode down to Opihikao in the afternoon, anil in the little

restored so that the people of southern
Molokai may once more feel the words
of the Psalmist, "I was gl,:d when they
said unto me, let us go up to the house
of the Lord," and will rejoice to worship Him in such a noble and historic
building. It is to be hoped that under
the able leadership of Pastor laea and
with the helpful influence of the Association's recent meetings that the old
Church of Kaluaaha will take a new
lease of life and go forward in every
way.
On Thursday, Sept. 17th the Mikahala brought to Pukoo, Molokai,
among its passengers from Maui
Messrs. Dodge and Santos. They diel

Here they conducted a very interesting installation service, placing the
Rev. Mr. Kalobclani in charge of the
Church that hail heen without a pastor
for ten years. After the service it was
a problem feir the ministers to return
to Pukoo. The steamer had left them,
and the rough seas niaele a voyage
around by water out of the question.
The steep pali, over 2,000 feet high
and truly dangerous, must be climbed.
The elifficult feat was accomplished by
the haole ministers who were accompanied by thirteen natives, all bound

"Dear people: We are having such
beautiful spring weather,—not so hot
as it often is at this time: in fact it is
not hot at all, but cool and bracing.
If only this weather could last until

extremely hot weather and the long

Temperance Issues
REV. W. D. WESTERVELT.
"TEMPERANCE MAKES POVERTY".
Sometimes the claim has been ad-
vanced that the sale of intoxicants was
necessary in order to build up the prosperity of a community, but even in the
balmiest days of the liquor traffic the
counter statement has never been advocated, that temperance makes a people poor and degraded, intellectually and
morally.
The "Lincoln" Pledge.
The "Abraham Lincoln Pledge," socalled because it was signed and advocated by him, is one of the strongest
and most concisely stated arguments
against the use of intoxicants ever
framed. Notice the three steps:
"Whereas, the use of alcoholic
liquors as a beverage is productive of
pauperism, degradation and crime,
"And believing it is our duty to discourage that which produces more
evil than good;
"We therefore pledge ourselves to
abstain from the use of intoxicating
liquors
as a beverage."
1 le was urged in later life to partake
:
of intoxicants and replied "For thirty
years I have been a temperance man,
and I am too old to change."
President Theodore Roosevelt with
the same thought in mind as that
voiced in the Lincoln Pledge said:
"'The liquor business tends to produce
criminality in the population at large,
and law-breaking among the saloon
keepers themselves. It debauches not
only the body social, but the body politic as well."
No Water Higher Than Its Source.
Out of the enkindled thoughts of
reformers come the truths
which make the world think and its
heart grow warm. The following from
E. F. Chafin, the Prohibition nominee
for the Presidency of the United
States, is full of instruction:
"A political party never can be any
better than the evil it serves. It doesn't matter how many good men there
are in the party. If they cannot carry
the election without the criminal element in the party, then they must
serve that criminal element after election and can get no better legislation
than this criminal element will stand
for."

Ameing the large hand-bills preferred in the Hawaiian Historical is one
which deserves especial attention in
these days when the native population
is preeminently tempted by the always
present saloon. 'This hand-bill is a notice- signed by seven Liquor elealers in

of these men. if not all, were proprietors of hotels in which bars were
