()iu- ot the most interestng features ill ministerial life in this Territory is found in the monthly Christian Workers Training Classes held by the white pas ton and missionaries for the benefit oi those of other races. Thus Dr. Bak< i in Kona, Mr. Shields and Mr. Hill in llilo, Dr. Cowan in Kohala, Messrs Dodge, Turner, WaKrip and Buinham mi Maui ami Mr. Lydgate on Kaua', heve done wonders for the Christian Workers connected with the Churches of these Islands. ()aliu lagged some what behind her sisters. Mr. Kidman, who has eared faithfully for the interests of Churches outside of Honolulu ever since he came to the Territory, or, ganized this year a summer school for Oahu Christian leaders which lias donz tine work. Unfortunately by no means all of the evangelists and pastors of the various races have been induced to at tend. But the experiment has been a success and next year the summer school should score a notable triumph. Peeling the need of more trained Hawaiian pastors, the Hawaiian Board is o usidering the advisability of re-establishing a Bible Institute in Honolulu. Thai a Christian Workers' training school here will accomplihs much there can be little doubt. We trust the pro posed institution will be developed. < >t course the plan is not to attempt any thing like a theological sebool. The Hawaiian needs first of all sympathetic tiiendly co-operation trOm white missionaries and fellow pastors, lie is e>tting more of this now under the policy adopted by the Hawaiian Board in 1904 than for several decides previoiisl The Consequent gain has been marked. The second need is for trained Hawaiian leaders. The native people of this Territory will not be contented with Second-rate education for their leading young men in any Sphere of life. Their brighter boys go to Vale and Harvard, Cornell. Stanford, the University of California. West Point and other firstcla.'s mainland institutions for law, engineering, military, pedagogic and mcd ieal training. The same should hold true of theology. Tf we wish to get the ablest young men of this Territory to . ministry we can second-rate education. A first-rate theological training cannot be given by busy secretaries, superintendents, missionaries and pastors. Expertl trained to teach and with time to teach are .needed. This we cannot Command in Hawaii without an expenditure of money far beyond our resources. And if we could command the funds, it would not be wise economy because there is no need of opening new Theological Schools, when there are ample room and plenty of funds for training our young men in Eastern in('(•vote their lives to the not put them oil with a stitutions.

It fcf evident that without such men in the centers of larpc influence a permanent. developing Church cannot be expected. '"'" ' ' '"' Ambassador Rockhill's Complaint. Tt lias been perfectly evident to any(ne conversant with the views of ex perienced travelers who pass throuph Honolulu that sooner or later some distinguished voyager would voice the sentiments of the fraternity concerning the one prcat transpacific American steamship line. The lot fell to no less distinguished a statesman and diplomat than Hon. W. W. Rockhill, our Amhas-r.dor at the Court of the Czar. His lomplaint, perfectly justified, so experi- �4 enced ocean-crossers say, reopens the burning question of transportation justice to Hawaii. There can be no question that the opening" of the trade in ft eight and passengers freely to the ships of the world would do more for these Islands than any other one thing. Instantly competition in freigh rates between here and the mainland would stimulate production. It would become the interest of the three lines to cater to our products. The profits on tropical fruits gmwn here would attract settlers from New economics would enable Oversea. our sugar plantations to cope with a possible rise in the labor market, though it is very doubtful whether there would result any greater increase than is likely to come about with our present lack cf competition in transportation. It is certain that the tourist trade would advance with leaps and bounds. There would be a vast increase in the number of retired business men seeking an ideal spot therein to spend the years of their riper and larger experience. Of course the fear that such a change in conditions might affect adversely some of our present business interests is always on hand to oppose any such enlargement of horizon, but such gloomv anticipations are rarely realized by wide awake concerns AM hail then to such breeders of discontent over our antequated system of communication with the mainland as Ambassador Rockhill. May his tribe which already counts such sensible company as Ambassador Strauss of Constantinople. Hon. Tames F. Garfield. Hon. Francis R Loomis and hosts of others multiply until Congress gives Hawaii justice in freedom of transportation. Curtis E. Shields. Sunday. July 11, Honolulu listened regretfully to the farewell sermon of Rev. C. E. Shields of Hilo. Though he was not often able to spend time in the capital, Oahu people came to entertain a very high respect for this earnest, faithful Christian leader. His five and a half years have been very fruitful and have endeared him to us all. It was characteristic of Mr. Shields to identify himself very closely with all the missionary activities of the Territory. Nat tirally he became a pastor of pastors '.'i Hilo district and left his impress upon the workers of all races. He was eminently true in every relation. A preacher, excellent pastor, constant!.' growing as a minister, interested in ail sides of life, he has left his mark high THE FRIEND. Rcing still in early manhood it waj wise for him to seek the broadening influence of a return to the mainland, but he went reluctantly because 1 lawaii had gotten her grip upon his heart. Mrs. Siiiells was a worthy helpmeet. The trag'c Mirow which darkened their home brought j all the Churches nearer to Mr. and Mrs. Shields in deep sympathy. We arc prepared to follow these friends with growing joy as their ministry enlarges with the coming years. Hilo's New Leader. Next month we hope to present the likeness of Rev. August Drahms. th successor of Rev. Curtis E. Shields, in the pastorate of the First Foreig Church of Hilo. Why one ambitious sister city of the great Island still retains this outlandish title—for is noi foreign equivalent to otttland—is easily understood by all of us who own queer names. A name's a name for a that But whatever be its title the Church itself is vigorous, fully alive and a tru exponent of the best in Hilo. Both Church and city have large ambitions which time will justify. With its new breakwater Hawaii's capital will forge rapidly ahead. In this growing prosperity the Foreign or Union Church is certain to share. Mr. Shields is a good man to follow, in that he has left a united, earnest Church for his successor. Through the pleasant introduction of Drs. Adams, Brown and Frcar of California, we are all looking eagerly'fo ward to welcoming into the councils of our Churches, the new minister, who begins his pastorate with the first of this month. Mr. Drahms has long been connected as Chaplain with San Qttentin and is credited with fine lit erary ability. Rumor has it that Mrs. Drahms will also bring rare lowers into the service of Church and community The Friend welcomes these new fellow laborers with heartiest aloha and wishes for them the largest success. By Way of Emendation. Hon. W. O. Smith suggests that many may draw from the reference made to the Organic Act in the temperance reso lution of the Evangelical Association inferences not warranted by the text of that congressional statute. It is true that Representative Gillett of Massachusetts, to his honor let Hawaii ever remember, offered as an amendment to August, 1909 the Organic Act before its passage the following: "Nor shall saloons for the sale of intoxicating drinks be allowed." Rut this was negatived and for it wai substituted the following: "Nor shall spirituous or intoxicating liquors be sold except under such regulations and restrictions as the Territorial legislature shall provide." This of course prohib't ed the sale of liquor unless the local legislature should enact a law regulating and restricting the traffic. This the legislature did. Inasmuch as readers of the resolution, ignorant of the exact facts, may press the words of the reso lution too far, it is suggested that th Hawaiian Hoard, the Executive arm ot the Evangelical Association, modify the resolution by eliminating all reference to the Organic Act. This will not in th slightest weaken the force of the pronouncement and we therefore hope tinBoard may see its way clear to take this action. : The Short Ballot. The Outlook for July 17 contains a most excellent article by Richard S. Childs with this title. The writer points out the fact that communities usually choose good men for the higher and more important offices because only prominent citizens, whose record is well known or is at once thoroughly set forth by the press, are nominated for these positions. Hence the ballot is an intelligent one, and the undoubted will of the citizens in favor of good government can be carried out. Rut with the multitude of minor offices the case is different. Nobody save the politicians knows the nominees, the press has no interest in looking them up, the jneoplc cannot find out their qualifications, hence they vote blindly by party and the boss gets his creatures elected, thus defeating the popular will for honest public service. Anyone who has served on a municipal voter's league or civic federation which aims to study up the records of candidates know how true Mr. Child's contention is. The vast bulk of candidates are unknown men with no specially ascertainable records. Tt is impossible to guage what sort of public servants they will make. Generally they are creatures of the wire-pullers and can be depended upon to become office-holders subservient to the machine instead of public servants mindful of the common weal. Mr. Childs proposes as remedy the short ballot by which he means a radical curtailment of the offices to be �THE FRIEND, August, 1909, filled by public election such as is realized by the Galveston, Houston and Dcs Moines plans. For example let all the affairs of the city be placed in the hands of say five elected heads of departments, one of whom is to he chosen every five years in rotation with five-year terms. for Hold these men responsible the conduct of civic affairs, for economy, for good service on the part of their appointees and employees. At election time the voters will have no difficulty in choosing a good man for the vacant place and the result will he honest, economic, efficient government. "But," exclaims Friend Shortsight, "that is government by oligarchy, not democracy!" What is oligarchy? The rule of the few. Now, if the people intelligently choose their public servant, getting the man they want, the man who will obey the people's will, who rules? The people or the man chosen? The people of cours ■ In other words where the man chosen to office does what the people want him to do, even if there be only one elected office holder, the people rule and this is a democracy. But where the offices are many and because they are so numerous the machine is able to get men elected who will not do what the people want 1 tit who carry out the will of the machine, who rules 7 Not the elected men for they obey the machine. Not the peo pic because nobody obeys them. But the machine rules and because the machine is always a few the resulting government is an oligarchy. Our American cities will continue to be oligarchies not democracies as long as the people allow the machine to dominate them or cheat them out. of their sovereign prerogative. Give us the short ballot in Honolulu. D. S. NEWS FROM NAURU. Under date of June 18, Rev. P. A. Dclaporte of Nauru, writes as follows: 1 believe that this is about the time for the Hawaiian Board's annual meeting and understand that it is to be held in Central Union Church. T trust that yen will have a good time debating ways and means to advance the Master's Kingdom on Hawaii's fair shores. May our good Lord abundantly bless your labors! Our own work is apparently stil' h!essed by the Master. Of course little disappointments do come but as a whole we are satisfied with the progress made. Meetings are not only well, but vtry 5 ic't'/l attended and it taxes the abilities c,f Mrs. Delaporte and the ushers to find 100 mat times for the congregation about 1000 people. Of course not everyone who attends follows the Lord all the way, hut how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? Therefore it is good that they at least come. A few weeks ago we inaugurated a more aggressive work among the foreign natives. We now conduct a special meeting for them every Sabbath evening immediately after the evening ser- vice for the Nauru people. T speak to them through an interpreter. About 30x3 young men attend. Perhaps we will be able to do some good among them. There are natives from all over the Caroline Islands here, even some Yap boys. These latter have not even heard the Gospel as no Protestant missionary has up to now resided on their island. The great difficulty is that about six different dialects are used by the Caroline boys. Thus with the Nauru vernacular we have to deal with seven languages. Picase pray for this special new work that the Lord will bless it. Another week or so and our new Hymn book will he ready. It contains 117 Nauru and about 20 German Gospel Hymns, and in addition to this a lot of other matter such as the Apostle's Creed, Confession of Faith. Marriage Service, Lord's Supper Service, etc. We will bind this book here, but propose later on when the Psalms and Proverbs are ready to have, say. 300 copies of thcombined Hymn book and Psalms bound in Sydney or America. We had two sad accidents this month One Caroline boy drowned while hathingj while another was crushed to death by a railway train. It was however the poor fellow's own fault, as he persisted, notwithstanding warnings, to board the train while going at full speed. I went on hoard the "Ocean Queen' yesterday and had a good visit to Mr. Arundel. He is very much interested in our work. Next Sabbath he and family will attending morning service. He will be able to give you a description of our work and premises. Mr. Arundel has very kindly consented to take our freight from Honolulu to Nauru free of charge this time as a personal contribution to us. We are very sorry that the restoration of the Mission Premises has cost so much in excess of what the Honolulu friends expected, but the good Lord wiT help us to pay for it. : Semi-Annual Report of Japanese Christian Boarding School, January 1st to June 30th, 1909. Our school closed on the last of June and the greater number of the children returned to their homes to Spend the summer vacation with their parents. But we still have with ns some children who have no homes to which they may return. 1 am very pleased to have received many letters from parents expressing their hearty appreciation and gratitude on the improvement—not only in study, but in the behavior and manners of their children. We hojie for their return and that their good influence may be the means of bringing many new children to us. We have had sixtyone children: 3 from Maui, 4 from I la waii, 17 from Kauai, 7 from Oahu, 23 from Honolulu, 5 orphans, j children who were placed in my care. The Mid-Pacific Institute will be opened very soon and we hope our children will sec the wisdom of entering it. It is, however, necessary to maintain our school, as a preparatory to the Institute, Many of our children are too young and many who board with us attend the High School, for the present preferring to continue their course there. I regret to state that the deficit of three hundred eighty dollars forty cents, which was carried over from the last report, has been increased and is now four hundred and ninety-two dollars ninety-five cents. The reason for this deficiency is—notwithstanding the fact the strictest economy is exercised— that the school supports free of charge at least seven children, some of whom are orphans, while others have been left in our care. Again, others are unabl to pay more than half rate, owing to the poverty of their parents. The five dollars which they pay being wholly inadequate to their needs. Without the aid of our generous friends it would he impossible to further maintain the school. It owes its existence in the past fourteen years to the constant support it lias received from friends and I earnestlv hope and pray that the present deficiency may be wiped out, and that the new year may be begun free, of debt. As will be seen in my financial report, there have been many donations made by friends to whom I wish to express my most sincere thanks. The semi-annual financial report is herewith respectfully submitted. Respectfully, T. Okumura. (For Financial Report see page /g) �Range Lights By JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D. A BILL. To prohibit selling of intoxicating beverages in Territory of Hawaii. fie it enacted by the Senate and flouse of Represeiittitiirs of the United States of .hncrica in Congress assembled, That any person, except agents herein- after specified, who shall manufacture or sell, directly or indirectly, or expose for sale or advertise as for sale in satd Territory any vinous, malt, or fermented liquors, or any other intoxicating beverages of any kind whatsoever, or shall knowingly allow such manufacture or sale in any shop, restaurant, hotel, drug store, or building or premises which he owns or controls, or who shall giv.' away any intoxicating drink except in his own private residence, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars and by imprisonment for not less than one month nor more than five years, with forfeiture to the Territory of all liquors and bar-room fixtures and furniture found on the premises; and it shall be the duty of district attorneys and of all executive officers to prosecute all violations of this Act. Sec. 2. That for a second or subsequent conviction the fine and imprisonment shall be double that of the preceding conviction, and in case of a landlord the third offense in the same building shall be punished in additit n b forfeiture of the building to the Territory.

North Dakota has been «nder prohibition for many years. Its low percentage of illiteracy, its monumental increase in gress. August, 1909 THE FRIEND. 6 wealth, the high character of its court-. the exceptionally good government of its cities and towns, its reputation fo: law and order, — all these, and much beside, make its past notable and mark it for distinguished rank in the roll ol -tatcs. Senator Johnson is one of the strong Senators, distinctly moderate in temperament, a student, and a practical man of affairs. He believes in the principle, and the success in practice, of prohibition, from actual knowledge and long experience, and can be depended on to push this bill, to the full limit of his in- fluence. The bill is now in the hands of the Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. Tt will be met there and on the lloor of Congress, as well as in all the extra, devious ways of gin generalship. by a united, rich, tireless, organized liquor traffic. Eminent lawyers will be employed to appear in opposition to it. and a lobby as efficient and unscrupulous as human ingenuity can frame up will do personal work outside. But the liquor trade has fallen upon dark days. It is bankrupt, of course, in moral credit, its political power is broken, and the rising tide of general public sentiment will tend to the passage of the bill, if the island pressure is prompt and emphatic in its favor. There is no better way to reach the Congress and impress it, than by personal letters to the members. If every adult reader of The Friend, who believes the drink traffic to be evil and only evil, would write at once to some member, urging favorable action on this bill, it would probably become a law. In that case, the whole baffling nuisance would be in the strong hands of the federal government, and the wearisome annals of territorial experiment and failure would be closed. The liquor traffic is a chronic criminal and, in a great measure, defies the local efforts at curtailment ,or even regulation. But it is a coward, and it hesitates to take chances, as against the federal authorities. Perfection is not to be reached in this territory, or in this world; and no system will exempt us from failures and disappointments. But prohibition is the only method that promises relief. When enacted and enforced by local legisla- tures and ter than executives it is distinctly betany form or manner of licensing; and with the federal government behind it, and the territory cooperating, it will he at its best. Now , let us have a Hawaiian snow storm of letters to members of digress, —preferably members whom we know, or of whom we know, in some personal relation or, at any rate, to Hon. M. X. Johnson, Senate, Washington, D. C. THE GEORGE JUNIOR REPUBLIC. The George Junior Republic gives an interesting study of child treatment. Founded about 1890 by William R. George, the idea has steadily grown until the institution today stands as a positive force in New York State. "Nothing without labor" is the motto. Boys and girls, wild at home, beyond the control of parents and yet not so hardened as to be real criminals, orphans taken from the streets of cities, children of unfortunate parentage, these coma to Frecville. They become members of a Republic that has grown up naturally. The superintendents and Mr. George act as a check, but aside from that the Republic is real. A child is entered by parent, or court, or friend, often the child is given a choice between reform school or the Republic. For a few days the new comer is a guest. Then he becomes a citizen. His money is of no use to him. He has the clothes he brings. His parents or friends are not allowed to send clothing, supplies, or presents of any value. He may receive some simple gift at Christmas or on his birthday, but nothing that will take away from him the necessity of work. Upon becoming a citizen the boy is given his choice of what he will do. He may choose the farm, the carpenter shop, the printing shop, the dairy, the bakery, the laundry, what he will of what the school offers. He goes to work and is paid in the school currency what he earns. His rate is determined by what he accomplishes. With the money he earns, h can get his board and room. If he has no money he is not allowed to eat unless some other boys will lend him money. But this is rarely done, as the boys do not readily lend, having learned by experience that those who wish to borrow, rarely are good pay. If the boy refuses to work, he is arrested as a vagrant an put in jail. There he is compelled to work. If he refuses under ordinary pressure, he may be whipped but usually is placed in solitary confinement until he is willing to do as he is told. �THE FRIEND August, 1909, 7 to I cannot go further into details.

The superintendent girl refused to go. She was at once tak en to the police court and told that she would be sentenced to the girl's reformatory unless she went qv.iitly. She was sensible enough to go. Arrived at Frecville, she refused to work, was soon arrested as a vagrant, sen' to the girls' jail, and set to scrubbing floors. She rebelled. She had never scrubbed floors at home and she wasn't going to begin then. She was given a little time to change her mind but persisting, she was taken by force to a room absolutely empty, about Bxlo, and locked in. She had no chair, no bed. A window, high in the wall, gave some light and plenty of air. Very plain food was her diet. She was thoroughly searched to see that she had nothing about her person with which she could inflict any injury upon herself. She was allowed plenty of blankets so that she should in no way suffer from the cold. But she was left absolutely alone. Her jailor came only wit! her food and answered only necess.v questions. Before the second day was over she became tired of screaming. weeping and rebelling. She begged to be taken out and promised to do anything she was asked to do rather than to be absolutely alone. She was again set to scrubbing floors and was kept at it until she learned to do that well and mcomplainingly. Then she was sent to work in the school laundry. There she could he with other girls, but as a prisoner she could not talk with them. If she did her sentence was lengthened. < She was tractable, industrious, taking her punishment, serving her time. 1 talked with her. She had no complaint. The Republic seemed a pretty good place to her. At any rate she was there and she was going to make the most of it. She was going to get out of jail, work hard and try to get an honorable discharge from Frecvillc. Harsh measures but something drastic was very necessary. I saw a boy in jail studying Cicero, expecting soon to get out of Freeville and to enter Cornell in another year. For some offence he had been committed and was serving his time. 1 saw a boy who was entered in the school some time previous to my visit. He came as a notorious thief. He boasted of his prowess. Tn a few days something was missing. He was promptly arrested by a boy policeman on suspicion, tried by dom, knowledge of what others were getting, worked the cure. Ile was then a trusted superior officer in the court. The boy wdio works gets his pay. He can have as good board and room as he has the money to pay for. If he earns the minimum amount he has bare sustenance, poor quarters in which to sleep is shunned by other boys, is liable a' any time to be arrested. As a minor he has to go to school certain hours of th day, whether he is in jail or a free citizen. The real strength of the whole scheme lies in the simple motto of the institution, "Nothing without labor." The boy who will not work, can not �< *& Do Good e< *£ Do all the good yon can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, Jit all the times you can, Co all the people you can, Hs long as ever you can. eat, for he can get nothing to eat.

Other republics have been established : one in California and one in Litchfield, Connecticut, for boys under fourteen years of age. These arc branches of the George Junior Republic. Another Republic has been started in Georgia. There is the National Republic, a few miles out of Washington, D. C. There is the Carter Republic in Pennsylvania. Many phases of the Republic plan have been adopted by many reform schools. The School City* estab lished by Mr. Wilson L. Gill,'and the Juvenile Court are other agencies work ing along the same general lines. At the Republic the annual expense of one child is $250. The average length of time a child stays at the Republic is three years. The child who goes out from the Republic is permanently bettered. Nearly 500 citizens have ahead" gone out from George Junior. Of these only twenty have been committed to any other institutions. Of these twenty only one was dismissed naturally from the Republic. The other nineteen were taken away before their time was.completed. The annual expense to New York State for one convict is between $600 and $700 and continues for several years. Not only that, the ordinary convict is committed several times duriti" his lifetime and the expense repeated. More important still a life has been wasted and a community has suffered. Perley L.

Dot/emus Scudder informed his people of the Central Union Church of the steps that had gradually led to the call cabled him to become District Secretary of the American Board, with headquarters at New York. While every one recognizes his peculiar fitness for the post proffered, it would be a distinct and serious loss to our Christian community here to have Dr. Scudder go away. He holds a commanding and eminently important post that demands a man of uncommon ability. Dr. Scudder is satisfying these demands in a singularly effective and wholesome way. It is exceedingly doubtful whether the post to which he has been called, taking all things into account, exceeds in importance and opportunity the post he is now filling. There are probably more men available for the New York office than there ar. for the Honolulu pastorate. A great organization like the American Board probably never questions its right to lay hands on desired ability wherever it finds it; but there certainly is such a thing as wise strategy, and to hold a strong decision he is to make, and that it will he made conscientiously in view of all the interests concerned. In the wish that he may decide to remain with us, we do not forget the missionary need that summons him; but we believe, in all fairness, that missionary need speaks louder here than on the mainland. S As an aid to the more thorough instruction of some of our Christian young men, a summer school for Bible study has been held during three weeks of July in the parlor of the Central Union Church. The arrangements were in charge of a special committee consisting of Messrs. Erdman, Judd and Nakuina, appointed by the Hawaiian Board. The regular instructors were Messrs. Erdman, Judd, Hopwood and Oleson. Four courses were given: one an exposition of the book of Hebrews by Mr. Oleson; one in Biblical Introduction by Mr. Hopwood ; one in Homilet!cs by Mr. Erdman and one in Sunday School Normal Methods by Mr. Judd. Lectures were aiso provided by Dr. Scudder, Rev. F. S. Scudder and Mr. Rath. The attendance while not as large as hoped for, was yet very gratifying, and fully justified the experiment. With certain modifications and adaptations this summer school possesses great possibilities. Much credit is due those who have had the plans in charge. We feel sure that this will become one of our most helpful agencies in supplementing the educational work of our schools and churches. Ji What might easily have been under other conditions a much more serious disaster occurred off the coast of Molokai on Friday, July 2, when the launch "Rainbow," with nearly fifty people on board, mostly children, was capsized, and every one was plunged into the sea. The boat was about a mile from shore, and it is remarkable that all escaped to land, with the exception of one feeble Hawaiian woman who was overcome by the shock and strain. We are informed that the mishap wacaused by the merest accident to the steersman. He was standing, but in losing his balance, and falling overboard, be held on to the tiller, and gibed the boat that was going at high speed, so suddenly that she careened, throwing the passengers to one side, and thus completing the disaster. The Rev. J. Kaalouahi, pastor at llalawa, was on board accompanying his young people on their way to a Sunday School exhibition that was to be held at Kaunakakai on Saturday and Sunday, July 3d and 4th. He proved himself a hero equal to the occasion; for he looked after his little flock in the water and through patient and faithful supervision succeeded in getting all safely to land. While the larger ones swam ashore, he remained behind with the little ones, clinging to the upturned boat, until a rescuing boat took them from their perilous position. He was the last one to leave the upturned boat. As these people lost all their clothing, including their best, an appeal to the Honolulu public for donations of money and clothing was made to which there Four was a most generous response. large cases of clothing have already been forwarded, and more will be sent if needed. More money was subscribed than was necessary, and the disposition of the balance will be referred to the generous donors.

The movement to establish a dry camp for tuberculosis patients demands constant emphasis. Unfortunately the public needs to be educated. Constant reiteration of the need will in time supply this information. Two classes require it.tsruction: those whose sympathy and financial help are needed to make the establishing of the camp possible and its maintenance assured, and those who are suffering from the disease itself. Both classes have been strangely unresponsive to the many pleas. Yet every daily paper that gives a report of mortality statistics shows the frightful inroads of this dread disease. Were small-pox. typhoid scarlet fever, or plague cases one-fifth as ftequent, the whole community would rise in alarm. Yet here is a disease in our midst more deadly in its effects than any of the above named, and we carelessly pass it by. The indifference of those who can help is daily sending vict'ms to the grave. 'That tuberculosis can be cured has been established beyond question. Unfortunately, however, attention usually is only given to the disease when it has gained so strong a possession of the vie- 9 that treatment can alleviate but not cure. There is a decided failure everywhere in taking hold of cases in th.'ir iucipiency. As soon as the tubercle bacilli is detected, treatment should begin. Without question, our physicians would call attention more persistently to the presence of these bacilli if some place was open for their treatment besides the home. In its early stages tuberculosis is curable. As the disease advances, i' becomes more and more difficult to check its progress. A campaign of education should he entered upon to instruct those who are threatened or who may be threatened with the disease to take the care of themselves necessary. The importance of a day camp cannot be overestimated. A general feeling prevails among certain classes of our population that tuberculosis cannot be cured. Hence the appearance of the disease means the abandonment of life, the shutting of themselves into close unventilated rooms, and instead of a fight for existence, the giving up to despair. A day camp, demonstrating, as it must, its helpfulness and its positive cures, will gradually dispel this tendency to desoair. Far more cases will be affected favorably by the adopting of its methods by individuals thtoughout the community than by the institution itself. The power of. example is potent. Hay camps have proved their worth Many, many patients have already been cured, many, many more have been benefitted. A day camp for Honolulu, situated conveniently, one to which patients might come and go daily, will be a blessing to our community, more far reaching in its beneficent effects than any onecan rightly estimate or even appreciate. tun Every possible aid should l>e extended to those who are without means properly to care for themselves, and to those whose home environment is unfavorable. Some have expressed the fear that tht presence of these patients in the cars jroing back and forth daily would be a menace to the health of the other passengers. There is no occasion for this fear. Those who receive treatment at the sanitarium or the day camp, will be far more careful of themselves than eve before. Not only will they hide the means of communicating their disease. but they will be far more thoughtful of the rights of others. All of us are exposed daily far more to the disease hy contact with infected persons, on the cars, in the stores, and on the streets, who are taking no care of themselves and are ignorantly spreading the germs wherever they go. Wherever day camps have existed, good has resulted. Honolulu has a great need- Tuberculosis is spreading. Every known means to check its progress and to lessen its ravages should be adopted. It is not too much to hope that the situation can be mastered if vigorous action is sustained. A half-hearted fight will bring but a partial relief. A concerted effort by all will alone solve this great problem. P. L. H. He who lives in the spirit never grows old.

The social attractiveness of the Colorado Springs building made the visit to that plant worth while. Three new buildings have been built in Texas during the past eighteen months, and to these we now wended our way. Dallas, with its beautiful and practical $150,000 building first occupied our attention, and two days were spent there. There were three things to which 1 paid special attention. First, the method of raising the money for the building; second, the plans of the building itself; and third, the method of managing the plant after completed. Hawaii in the early days. A Vale classmate of Mr. J. P. Cooke is vice-president of the Association in Houston, and a great believer in the work. Galveston has an old building, and San Antonio a good example of things not to do. El Paso has a building that cost $82,000 not counting lot and furnishings. The secretary here is a genious, and in the two days spent with him I got many practcal suggestions on the architecture of Association buildings. The exterior of the building is the simplest part of the program. It is the arrangement of the interior on which one has to use his gray matter. Any architect can do the exterior. Not one in a Secretary s Trip. The good ship Lurline landed me in Honolulu July 23, two months and twenty days from the date of leaving. The trip was one of nearly 12,000 miles, and included twenty cities and a stay of ten days in a Rocky Mountain hotel, four miles from Manitou. It was to this beautiful spot in Ute Pass that I went after the conference of Y. M. C. A. secretaries at Omaha. Here were gathered over two hundred college men from western colleges to spend ten days in Bible study and conference on religious work for men in college. It was my privilege to lead some thirty men in one of Dr. Bosworth's Bible course, and one Sunday afternoon of the conference to speak on the results of mission workin Hawaii. After being out of college Y. M. C. A. work for four years it was a great pleasure to take up the old lines, and meet daily for ten days with the leaders in religious work in our virile western institutions. Among the leaders of the conference known locally were Bishop W. F. McDowell, Dr. Frank K. Sanders and Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston. The latter, in one of his addresses, spoke at some length of the work of Dr. John Gulick, referring especially to his famous reply to Romanes. The conference part of my trip over, my next duty was to study some of the newer Association buildings to get ideas for our own projected building. Colorado Springs and Denver furnished a few ideas, the feature at Denver that specially interested me being their fine equipment for teaching mechanical trades. Some of these plans we will use Houston's vision realized including a thorough study of the business administration. The second point included notes on the practical problems involved in the construction and arrangement of the gymnasium, lobby, baths, educational department, boys' rooms, billiard rooms, dormitories for men, hand-hall courts, and the cost of various methods of construction, as reinforced concrete, steel, brick, and the practicability of the various methods. After Dallas, Houston. It is one of the finest towns in the South, and has a building that is a credit to the town. It is the largest Association building in the South, and cost $200,000.

Mott has said that the Los Angeles building, worth about threequarters of a million dollars, is the most complete Y. M. C. A. building in the world. It certainly has everything one could want. During my three days in Los Angeles I gave a lecture on Hawaii, using about 150 lantern slides. Who should I' see in my audience but Dr. Lyman B. Sperry. We bad a pleasant chat after the lecture. �August, 1909 A study of the Stockton building, under construction, and the plans of the San Francisco and Oakland buildings ended the duties along this line, and the last couple of days before sailing for Honolulu were spent with architects in an unofficial way, giving them some idea of what we would want, and looking over their work to form some idea of their ability. Though the trip was one of great interest and profit, it was far from a vacation trip, and we were glad when its duties were over, and very happy to get back to Honolulu, ready to take up the work for the men of the city, refreshed and stimulated by the weeks of travel and study, filled with new enthusiasm, and charged with new energy. DR. SCUDDER DECLINES MAINLAND CALL. Just as we are going to press we are able to announce Dr. Scudder's decision to remain in Honolulu. His decision was made known to his congregation on Sunday morning, Aug. Ist, in a sermon on the text, "Behold I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut." His address shows the estimate which he places upon the strategic importance of these islands in the world wide Christian campaign. The evident suspense of the congregation was broken by a rustle of relief, when the moment arrived in which his decision was announced. We give the following extracts : "Every man faces opened doors, which lure him to enter the gardens into which they lead. One of these doors Is set before him by God. The gteat question is, which of the doors that front him is God The door which opened placed? before your minister on July 6 disclosed a very enticing panorama. I would not dare to read you the letters written by President Capen and Secretaries Burton, Patton and Strong. Briefly the middle district of the American Board's home territory comprises Connecticut, the state which next to Massachusetts does most for our foreign missions, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, the District of Columbia and some Southern communities. The board desires that its Interests In this district be entirely reorganized. At present the mainland is witnessing an unprecedented revival of missionary fervor, comparable only to the mighty temperance wave. It is characterized by an entirely new manifestation called the laymen's missionary movement which is beginning to affect all denominations. Under its influence the Southern Presbyterians have gained thirty per cent in two years for their missions. Last year Toronto 1" Canada gave $40,000 for missions outside its own borders, by July 7 of this year already $400,000 were in sight.

The building is so arranged that, opening a sliding partition, the adn ng school-room can be thrown into the auditorium, giving space for comfortably accommodating between three and four hundred people. Upstairs in the tower is a room twelve feet squar which is equipped with shelves and table for a reading room and the building is lighted throughout with gas. For the erection of this building the Japanese contributed handsomely, hut they could not have had the pleasure and advantage of a church building had it not been for the generous gifts of Messrs. G. N. Wilcox, H. P. Baldwin and H .B. Penhallow, and also the efficient counsel and oversight of the Rev R. B. Dodge. As it is all are to be congratulated on the splendid result of harmonious co-operation. Lumber and labor were secured almost at cost, and as a result the building, both in size and finish, has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The available funds were 150 in cash and $300 in promises, and the bills are well within the allowed appropriations. The Dedication service was held on Sunday, Aug. I. at 2:30 P.

GOOD TIDINGS FROM EWA. Rev. O. H. Gulick visited the Jap- anese church at Ewa on Sunday, Aug. Ist. At the morning service sixty persons were present, and Baptism was administered to 24 adults and 5 children. After the sermon by Mr. Gulick, a joyful communion service was held. At the evening service forty-five persons were present. It was a meeting of the Temperance Society, into which ten new members were received. This society now has enrolled about 70 members. The annual report and re-election of the officers of the church were also features of this meeting. The adult members of this church now number 69, making it the second Japanese church in size on Oahu, and the third largest on the islands. THE COLLEGE OF HAWAII. The catalog of the College of Hawaii has been issued and copies will be sent to all those who request them. A post card addressed to the College will be sufficient. The catalog contains information regarding the requirements for entrance, the courses offered and the subjects taught. Parents desiring to keep in touch with the work of the College, and prospective students desiring an education that will fit them for a definite service should secure a copy of the catalog. �THE FRIEND 14 Our Young People HENRY P.

I was starting out on a trip to the most International Sunday • August, 1909 interesting islands of Lanai and Molokai. It was my second visit to the former island, and I felt as though 1 was among friends when I preached in the Lanaihale Church on Sunday, June 27th. The services that day were helpful as usual and the spirit of worship was felt most strongly. Rev. David W. Kcliiokamoku WHiite of Lahaina was present and took a large part in the services. After the Sunday school hour and the preaching, of a sermon hy the Superintendent, there was the sacrament of baptism ,the reception of two new members into the church and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The regular C. E. meeting then took place, after which the congregation adjourned to the residence of Mr. Charles Gay at Keonuiku for luncheon. While on Lanai I was able to obtain a glimpse of the life on a sheep ranch and to observe the method of shearing the sheep. We also had opportunities to indulge in some forms of hunting, the grandest of which was to shoot at man-eating sharks from the top of the pali of Kaapahtt. We had a chance to see the famous "pali o Kaholo" and the spouting-horn of Kaala, renowned in Hawaiian legend. After my enjoyable visit on Lanai, I went over to Molokai on Sat., July 3rd. The first port we stopped at was Pttkoo. Going ashore there, we were told the news about the disaster occurring to the party from Halawa that took passage for Kaunakakai in the gasoline launch "Rainhow." This unfortunate accident was on Friday afternoon, the 2nd. It was remarkable that only one life was lost out of such a large company of over 40. 1 laving lost their clothes, the remainder of the Halawa Sunday school returned to their homes that evening, and the I loifce at Kaunakakai was thereby less of a success. In spite of the absence ot the delegation from the eastern end of the island, there was a large audience assembled in the cocoanut-thatched lanai in front of the Kaunakakai church on Sat. evening to listen to the concert that had been arranged for the benefit of the church-building fund. The program was well arranged and well carried out and over eighty dollars was raised for the fund. Sunday a. m. before the various schools appeared on the platform, there was a brief memorial service for the woman who had lost her life in the boatdisaster and there was also a thanksgiving service because of God's mercy in delivering so many from the perils of the sea. There were few dry eyes in the audience as Messrs. Nakaleka, Timo- �August, 1909 teo and laea conducted this special service. The Hoike proper was a great success, and the schools showed that some good drilling had been done. Waialua, Kahiaaha. Kamalo and Kaunakakai were represented by large delegations, and it was regretted by everyone present that the Halawa Sttndav school could not have been present. The exercises of the day concluded with a luan in the section of the lanai that had been erected for that special purpose. "The Glorious Fourth" was celebrated in Kaunakakai with a good deal of enthusiasm on the sth, for the "Mokolii" had arrived in the a. m. from Maui itli a gay crowd of excursionists, baseball players, etc., all intent upon having a good time. Some of them hired horses and took the ride to the top of the pali overlooking the Leper Settlement, wh; le others chose to stay around the village and enjoy the quietness. Soon after noon, a baseball game was played between the team from Honolulu and the team representing Molokai. It was a fine contest, and resulted in a victory for the local team by the score of 8-5. A luau followed, and then there was music and, as soon as it was dark, fireworks. Thus ended the special events of the two days in the little village down by the w• sea. Wednesday a. m. Rev. E. S Timoteo, Rev. I. D laea, the pastor of the Kaluaaha church, and T started for Halawa to see what we could do for the unfortunate ones who had lost their property in the disaster We were guests overnight of Hon. and Mrs. Nakalekr.. The next morning the Halawa people met in the church in response to the invitation sent out by means of the bell which was rung frequently. Almost all of the people of the valley were present to meet with us. It was a long and helpful service that we held that morning and afternoon. First of all, the Hoike exercises were given by those who had expected to appear at Kaunakakai. The program that they had intended to give was well planned out and they gave it in excellent form. The singing was especially fine. Halawa merits its reputation for excellent music. (After the Hoike, Messrs. Timoteo. Judd gave addresses on topic; it were timely. Then after an inte-ssion, Mr. Timoteo conducted a spe 1 service, evangelistic in nature. Mr. ?a and I assisted, and at the close Mr. ;a and THE FRIEND Timoteo gave an opportunity to several to unite with the church. There were a number of responses, and at a communion service held that evening, eighteen were received into fellowship of the church. At the close of the service, 1 secured the list of names of those who were on the boat at the time of the upsetting, and also found out what they lost. This list was sent to the Hawaiian Board and they made an ajipeal, through Messrs. Oleson and Bowen. The response has been most generous and friends have given more than enough to supply the people of Halawa with clothes to replace those lost in the sen. The incident shows the spirit of generosity and brotherliness that pervades the atmosphere of Hawaii nci. The response to the appeal for assistance has cony: from individuals, churches and schools, 'md from people of various classes. After the meeting, the visiting ministers were invited to a luau at the home of Mrs. Kane, mother of the school teacher, Mr. Matthew Kane, who has done so much for the Sunday school of Halawa. After the luau, I rode over to Waialua to attend the concert that was given for the benefit of the Halawa people. The Tolani Club from Honolulu who had as sisted materially at the Kaunakakai concert furnished the music, assisted by some local talent. Twenty dollars waraised for the fund. On July 9th, Messrs. Kaalouahi, the minister of Halawa, Matthew Kane, Timoteo and laea rode over to Waialua and I met them there for a noon-time service. It was attended by quite a number and the subject of the meeting "Who is my neighbor?' was most practical. Mr. Kane interpreted for me. Sunday, July nth, T preached in the Kaunakakai church, while Mr. Timoteo and Mr. laea were at the Kaluajha church. On Tuesday, the 13th, T rode over to the eastern end of the island again and was the guest overnight of Judge and Mrs. Conradt at Mapulehu. Next morning H. Rexford Hitchcock, Jr., and I started out on our trip to Wailau and Pelekunu. Tt was not hard to make the trip over the pali and through the stream to the little village of Wailau, for I well remembered the trail from my previous trip with Hon. Joel Nakaleka. We found the people busy at work preparing paiai for shipment to the Leper Settlement the next day. After a warm meal at the residence of Mr. Wailiula. the people came to our meeting. I spoke in Hawaiian about the S. S. work in 15 these islands, and Mr. Hitchcock told about the work of the Hui Pauahi at Oahu College. Mr. Wailiula entertained us over night and until we saw the "Mikahala" come into the harbor the next a. m. Tt was interesting to watch the work of loading the bundles of paiai into the boats. We went out in the last boat and had a very short but grand steamer-ride to rclekuntt, about three miles away. The coast line between Halawa and Kalaupapa is perhaps the grandest scenery in these islands, not even excepting the famous Napali coast of Kauai, or the Waipio and Waimanti valleys on Hawaii. The coast between Wailau and Pelekunu is surely a magnificent landscape with its wonderfully beautiful waterfalls and vegetation. Th* landing that we were to make at Pelekunu is different from the usual landing at our island ports. The passenger has the option of a leap upon the rocks or of being hauled up in a basket. Mr. Timoteo and Mr laea who were on the steamer from Kaunakakai and Lahaina. preferred to be elevated in the air, while Mr. Hitchcock and I elected to jump ashore —a much shorter process than the other. All four of our party were "malihinis" to that valley, and so we were very much interested with all that we saw. We thought that Pelekunu was one of the most primitive places in the islands, and at the same time one of the most beautiful, situated as it is between the deep blue sea and the lofty and beautiful mountains. After the meeting we were able to add that the people of Pelekunu are very warm-hearted and interested in the work of the church and Sunday school. We had a good* meeting, with practically all the population of the valley present in the church. The three ministers took part in the service, Mr. Timoteo taking the larger part of the time. We were entertained most handsomely by Mr. Makalei, the Superintendent of the Sunday school, and we shall long remember his kindness to us. It was the intention of our party to separate at Pelekunu. Messrs. Timoteo and laea wished to visit the Settlement, having received the necessary permission. Mr. Hitchcock and I wanted to climb the famous Pali that lies in the back of the valley. It was rainy weather, and some of the people tried to dissuade us from our purpose, saying that the trail was very dangerous in rainy weather. We were not to be turned aside from our original plans, however, and so we started out with Makalei, opio, as our guide, shortly before Messrs. Timoteo and laea began their sea voyage �August, 1909 THE FRIEND. 16 with Makalei, makua, as their pilot. The trail that day led us through a most wonderfully attractive mountain country where we were treated continually to the sight of high waterfalls and cliffs, lovely forests and streams, and all that a lover of Nature can desire was provided for our enjoyment. We had heard stories of the dangcrousness of the pah and were prepared to climb something really difficult. We found that the pali had been overrated as a place of danger, for the simple reason that there is always something to cling to as one is climbing upwards. There is this to be said about the trail, however, and that is that the trip is a long one and one must be in good condition if he does not expect to be thoroughly tired out at tin summit The top is over 4.000 feet high and the air is somewhat chilly. Just below the top and on the Kona side of the mountain is quite a swamp and in the midst of it a couple of sink-holes, supposed to be the sources of the Kawela and Kamalo streams. It is an interesting country all the way from the sea and a trip well-worth taking. I spent the night at Kaluaaha as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. The next morning I rode over to the Molokai Ranch, where I had made my headquarters while on the island. I took passage that evening for Honolulu on th "Mikahala" and arrived Sunday a. m July 18th. In the morning I spoke to Mr. Rath's class of young men at the Palama Settlement, and then preached at the Oahu Prison. During the month of August I intend to stay on Oahu, visiting as many different schools as possible on Sundays. In September I shall make a tour of East and Wr est Maui, ending up the tour by attending the Association meeting at Lahaina on Sept. 16th. is a great need of improved teaching and these lectures were prepared with the purpose of suggesting ways and means whereby the standard of teaching may be raised. It is axiomatic to say that our schools will be doing better work it the teachers know how to teach in a more effective way. The first lecture presented the purpose of the Sunday school and discussed the teacher as a student, also the influence of study upon the teacher. In the second lecture a definition of teaching was arrived at. It was shown first wha' teaching was not and then what it was. The essentials of good teaching were discussed, also the elements of atten- The last lecture consisted of a —how into discussion of these topics duce study mi the part of the pupils, the teacher and the religious life of the pupil, the duties of the superintendent and the cultivation of the spirit of wotship and benevolence in the Sunday gate. school.

Among the courses that have been given in the Summer Bible Institute recently was a series of lectures on "Sunday school Methods" by the Superintendent. There were six lectures in all in which the problems and principles of teaching were discussed. It is likely that an abstract of the course will be made for the benefit of the Hawaiian teachers principally, such a request having been made. It is plainly evident to observers of our school methods that there study of the pupils, the study of the lesson for its teaching and the planning of the lesson. The question of authority in the class was then discussed. The fourth lecture treated of methods in the class-room—the recitation method, the conversation method and the lecture method. "What is a good question?" was then discussed. The next lecture continued the subject of class-room methods and brought information on the subjects of how to secure attention, to make clear that which you would teach, to secure co-work and to teach through the eye- for his pupils. Put two or three competent teachers in every school, and the standard will surely he raised. It is my belief that more thought should be given to the training of teachers by the ministers in our country and village churches than is now the practise. Teachers' meetings should be held more regularly and made more profitable. There are great possibilities in the work of teacher-training in these islands and all Christian workers should cooperate in making our teachers as efficient as possible. �Hawaii Cousins The following part of a letter from the noted Dr. Peter Parker of China was found among the effects of our dear Mother Parker, and after an interval ot seventy-five years is well worth re-reading 17 THE FRIEND August, 1909 : "Canton, China, May 31, 1834. "Very Dear Christian Friend. "I hope you will not think it improper or feel it unwelcome that I send you a letter, now you have become so near a neighbor to us. Some months since had the pleasure of learning of the safe arrival of your missionary hand in th' Mentor. But as opportunty has occurred till lately of sending from here to the islands. Through Rev. I. Tracy, now with us, I learn the destination of Mr. Parker to the Marquesis Mission. "First T thank God that you are permitted to be in the great missionary field of the Lord, for which you long looked, and where, I trust, it is his gracious will that you should sow the seed, and reap the friut, the wages of eternal life. "Next I thank almighty God that he has permitted me to occupy my present station in the vineyard, and with the hope that if faithful in my present post, the Master may one day say to me "go up higher—enter into the missionary work for China. "Thirdly. I pray the God of all grace. with whom is the residue of the Spirit, that he would richly endue both yourself and your beloved husband with gifts necessary for the happy discharge of your difficult work,— patience in suffering, which must often be our lot anywhere, very often in a foreign and heathen land,— humility that will prevent disgust at the neglect or overbearingness of others, and will offer no opposition to the blessed will,—perseverance,—that will continue till a foreign language is fully acquired, and till every good object once begun, is either accomplished, or proved impracticable or too earthy discretion, which is the cream of all active virtues, and which can he possessed in a high degree, only hy a well propor tioned and well regulated mind, and subdued heart. the love of Jesus, stronger than death, dearer than life, sweeter than any human affection, more steady, more growing, more exalting, than any other love imaginable. "We seem to have few objects of earthly love here in this mission, and — much like our power of tender feeling I think is to meet so as to make it look intimation forward. to go daily diminishing by disuse, yea, so, deso- a providential late and cheerless did it at first seem to me to be cut off at once from almost aU social society and from all female society, that I, albeit unused to cry, did weep with the natural feelings of regret ;or the dissolution of social and dear ties But it is all over now and I feel comparatively proof against any assaults of affection! But I do hope to hold on to love of Jesus and never to become insensahle to that. "In our location in Canton we are much favored by the Lord and his servants. The house we occupy is hired for us by Mr. Olyphant, a merchant who trades here largely, and by being in part in his establishment we thus avoid many little inconveniences, besides $1000 a year for rent. This year we have a house and table by ourselves. The houses here are factories, having large and pleasant but unfurnished and comfortless rooms. Rev. 1. Tracy has been with us about six months but has just gone to Singapore to live, expecting there to make headquarters for the Chinese mission for the present. Mr. Williams, printer, is with Bridgman and myself. The Chinese Repository costs much time and hard labor, but it has been very well sustained, and I think has done much and will do more to prepare for the work by spreading necessary information and awaking interest in behalf of China. Some Chinese books, composed of Scripture and of original matter have been and are constantly being published here at Canton. Afat distributed several thousand volumes and tracts a few weeks ago in the old capital of this province, to the young literati at the public examinations, and m one said him nay, but many praised him for his benevolence in giving away good books. "The indefatigable Gutslaff still continues his voyages up the coist, having now been five times. Tt is clear that access can thus be had to many millions of our fellow beings in heathendom. He has thus distributed several tens of thousands of books. Afat is about to baptize another of his countrymen, if he has not already done so—one who has been for some time desirous of baptism. "But on many accounts Singapore seemed to he the place for fixing tune' of the force of the mission, for makintr books and revising them. The brethren therefore have just been enabled to purchase the English Mission press at that place at very great advantage, as it is thought, and many circumstances seem The two brethren, Robinson and Johnson, who are destined for Siam, have hitherto been obliged to tarry at Singapore, but they are now about proceeding. Robinson's family has already increased one since they arrived, and Johnson's, I think the same. Munson and Lyman made headquarters at Batavia, from whence they are about departing to explore. It is considered a hazardous service, and in my judgment new men can hardly be fitted to explore and report on this new ground. But perhaps they may not be wholly uninteresting on the Marquesas. "In my own department of work there is nothing striking to be said. Since last Sept. I have preached at Whanpoa on the Sabbath with few interruptions. But the audiences have been frequently wholly changed during that time. Ther e can not have been less than 50 or 60 American ships in all. and many more of other nations. Some possible good, 1 trust, has resulted, but not enough for the time, and Oh, not enough for the crying exigency of the case. More have died in impenitence, I have reason to fear, than have found the way of life. I am cast down but not destroyed, not forsaken or without hope. "Now nearly all the foreign shipping is gone, and much of my time is devoted to the study of the language and other things connected with the mission. T assure you it is a very, very difficult language to learn, certainly with any helps that can be here commanded, or any where else I think. But by the blessing of God T hope to succeed yet, and to succeed well too, though it is a very doubtful case, for my past progress would not justify much hope." (The last sheet of the letter has been lost). LETTER FROM LAHAINA. I will tell you of the interesting service at Wainee Church last Sunday. July 4. It was communion Sunday and we met for the fellowship of that tender memorial service. Following the brief sermon came the reception of new members, five by confession, three adults and two young people: and one adult by letter. This makes sixteen received since the new year (1909) began. Tenderly and reverently Pastor White spoke the baptismal formula twelve times, and we who witnessed the services could hardly tell whether we rejoiced the more at the baptism of the adults and their �August, 1909 THE FRIEND. 18 confession of the Master, or at the baptism of the children.
