It was one more evidence that the Hawaiian Japanese is swinging far away from his no compatriot in the Sunrise Kingdom.

The Planters' Chance. Here then is the great opportunity of the planters, Let them see the wisdom of the policy first of attracting these frugal, industrious folk to their plantations by making it possible for them to own homes, and second of inducing our government schools to give an education which shall lead the children to love agriculture. This latter end is being attained in Texas, why not also in Hawaii? Kona points a lesson worth taking to heart. The Japanese peasant proprietor or lessee enlists his children in his aid so that he is able to sell his own labor to others and yet reap a good harvest from his own land. If he has no children he works his field early and late or at odd times and spends the solid part of each day earning wages. With Hawaii's rare fertility it would be possible to attract to every plantation men with families who would delight to earn a small homestead and thereafter would form a stable working force increased from the ranks of their own children. Jt The Curse of the Sunrise Man. ( )ahu has found to its cost the menace of the Japanese plantation gambler. Kona is also cursed with the same pestilential species. At present there is a notorious quartet terrorizing the entire district. The tactics of this precious gang differ somewhat from those practised on the plantations, for it is not easy for a gambler to dupe men who have homes of their own into parting with their hard-earned cash. So the trade is shifted, and the villain plies his arts with the women, especially the home-sick new wife just out from Japan or the unprotected young girl in a �September. I*lo9. motherless home.

Our Kona missionaries unable to endure this condition moved the local association of Hawaii to start an ai*f fund which has done much good, but its receipts are wholly inadequate. Recently Mrs. Ruth R. Raker has conceived the plan of raising a permanent fund of $5000. the interest of which. $300 per year, shall be applied to supplement small salaries. When the annual expenditures of Maui Aid Society totaling $13,000 arc remembered, this amount of $5000 looks pitifully small. It should be $50,000 yielding $3000 anrually. Already nearly $1000 have been raised. Will not Christians who have large interests on Hawaii take th ; s movement under advisement and help quickly to subscribe the entire amount and then to push it upward until it is adequate to the situation?

Rounding the ridge for the sake of the noble view we descended to the surface, broke off and ate thin plates of ice that margined the water and took our lunch at 9:40 a. m. Resuming our saddles we urged our sturdy horses in zigzag up the last steep cone and with a shout gained the signal pole at the highest point in the midPacific. A noble panorama lay at our feet, closed in on one side by Manna Loa with its sharply outlined summit crater wall and its vast impressive silent rivers of black lava. Below to the right Hualalai lifted its head more than 5000 feet lower than our vantage point. Sweeping in long train the mountain slope fell gracefully away to the ocean in the direction of our morning's ride. while dominating this outlook Halcakala pist across the channel rose majestically, its huge mass so artfully hulked that to the eye it claimed to overtop our summit, notwithstanding its lack of nearly 4.000 feet of stature. Still on the right at our feet lay Kohala mountain, its profound gulches which had formed so impressive a sight earlier in the morning, now veiled in haze. Off Hilo way t mighty sea of snow white billowy clouds stretched away to the horizon, in glorious contrast to the landscape that rimmed our view in every other direction. We counted seven cones, any one of which might be taken for Mauna Kea's real summit. Below them circling round the upper part of the mountain were ten others. Still more were hidden lower down. None of us experienced the slightest discomfort from the high elevation, 13,825 feet, no difference i" feeling from that at sea level being experienced. Of course if we had been on foot we should have suffered from shortness of breadth. We had prepared for heat after sunrise but shedding slickers and sweater found our winter flannels comfortable all day. Before beginning our descent we rode over some of the near-by summit cones, which were ranged about the several craters that once had formed the mountain's blazing crown. One of these craters had caught its inspiration from the rainbow and with hail of green, yellow and red scoria whose colors have defied the elements for many a century had dared to rival the hues of heaven's fairy arch.

By this coup to de-tat he may apply again next year. Whereas had he refused at this time, he would have been compelled to seek an honest living for at least two years more. But Molokai is dry, and according to the prevailing public opinion on the Island, will remain so for some years to come. Since the closing of the saloon at Pukoo last year, the testimony is that not a single drunken man has been seen on the roads in that vicinity. And now that Kaunakakai is closed, we may hope that the whole Island may be thoroughly cleansed. A few blind pigs may flourish for a while, but the algaroba' forests can not afford them a covering long, for both the names of the Deputy Sheriff and of the District Magistrate may be found upon the petition. Molokai has the honor of being the largest Island in the group free from the curse of liquor. And for this honor and blessing she has to thank Mr. George P. Cooke, the manager of the .Molokai Ranch, for giving it his sympathy and hearty support; Judge C. C. Conradt, for the initiative he has taken m the matter and for his eternal vigilance in enforcing the law; and Kalarilcini, who did such effective work in circulating the petition from the hills of Kalae to the beach sands of Waialua. The population of Molokai is almost wholly Hawaiian. This fact is significant, in view of the statement we often hear that even if the Islands had Local Option, the- native could never be induced to vote tor a dry country. The only inducement the Molokai natives needed was the opportunity to declare their sentiments. E. B. T. A REQUEST. We gladly call attention to the following request, assured that readers of The Friend, among whom there are so many devoted admirers of Dr. Bingham, will be happy to have a share in furnishing material for a volume in his memory. Editor, The Friend, Honolulu, T. H. "The Life and Letters of Rev. Hiram Bingham, D. D., a memorial volume, is being prepared by the members of his family. They will be very glad to receive any letters or other material relative to his life. These may be sent to bis sister. Mrs. Lydia Bingham Coan, No. 1439 Alexander St., Honolulu, H." �8 THE FRIEND. The Scribe's Corner REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON Corresponding Secretary. A special evangelistic campaign will be begun among our Hawaiian churches after the close of the fall meetings of the Island Associations in October. At these Association meetings special consideration will be given to plans whereby the proposed campaign may be most wisely directed to the advantage of out needier churches and communities. Sonic of our churches are so isolated that they feel the need of the warmhearted sympathy and fellowship of their brethren from more favored localities ; and others are in such sparsely settled regions that regular services are difficult to maintain, especially in view of the present dearth of ministers. To satisfy these needs in a measure, and to awaken new religious interest, as well as to wisely cultivate the interest already awakened in many of our Hawaiian churches, the proposed campaign will be inaugurated the latter part of October. The plan in general calls for two companies of special workers, under the leadership respectively of Rev. Messrs. Timoteo and Nakuina, one company working on one island while the other is at work on another. Instead of undertaking to visit all the churches in a more or less hurried manner, the aim will be to stay long enough in a given locality to make the effort one of permanent advantage to the churches concerned. With this general outline in view the consideration of the plan in detail in the various Association meetings will so shape the campaign and so elicit the interest and prayers of all our churches as to prepare the way for a great blessing. Let all our pastors and church-members unite in seeking Divine guidance and blessing in this undertaking. We already have the evidence that the way is opening, partly in the deepening interest apparent in the large number of accessions to our churches the past year, and partly in the very general craving voiced in the last annual meeting. The times are auspicious for c forward movement. We are praying that our Hawaiian ministry may be reinforced in numbers and in power. May not this proposed campaign bring to our ranks new men for the ministry, as well as new life for our churches? The epidemic of typhoid fever in Kona, Hawaii, has called attention anew to the desirability of maintaining a corps of d: strict nurses at points of vantage on the several islands. A resolution calling the attention of the Tciritorial Board of Health to this matter was passed at the recent meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, requesting such action particularly with reference to Kona, Hawaii. This was previous to the outbreak of the present epidemic which epidemic adds emphasis to the wisdom of the plan suggested. Whatever difficulties may lie in the way of the accomplishment of some such scheme, whether financial or otherwise, surely should not long delay the consummation of a matter so clearly in the public interest. We are glad to chronicle the promptitude and efficiency of the Board of Health, and of the Red Cross Society in meeting the situation in Kona so admirably. But what is needed is a permanent staff of district purses, thoroughly organized, equipped to meet any special demand like the present, but also on the ground, rendering efficient aid as a permanent force in promoting better physical and sanitary habits, instructing the people, and meeting wisely those many demands incident to sickness, accident, poverty and like ills, especially in the homes of the poor in isolated localities. Much is being done already in these directions by benevolent organizations, and individuals operating through social settlements, as at Palama and Waiakea, and through plantation and local hospitals as at Puunene and Waimea, Kauai. But all this is being done at centers of population. It ought to be r'uplicated in more sparsely settled localities, and the expense should be borne t\ the government. We trust that one of the indirect results of the present epidemic will be to direct public attention to the need of maintaining a corps of district nurses so that some of the hardships of sickness in our country districts may be allayed, and that lives that are now lost through ignorance and the absence of efficient help may be saved. The total amount of money contributed for the Halawa Fund for the relief of the sufferers by the "Rainbow" disaster, the large part of which was un solicited, was $598.20. Most generous contributions of clothing were made, liberal discounts were given on purchases of clothing, and the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company carried the goods to Halawa, freight free. The September, 1909. expended in purchasing new clothing was $157.80. This left an unexpended balance of $440.40. This amount was apportioned pro rata to the respective donors, and each one was requested to notify the Secretary of th" Hawaiian Roard, to whom the Fund had been entrusted, as to his wish in the disposal of the balance due him or her.

EBERSOLE The months of July and August are sually the quietest and the most uneventful months of the church year. This year has been a happy exception to the rule in Central Union, as the following schedule of events of more than ordinary interest will show. Jii.y 4.—Patriotic Service with Address iiv Dr. Tiios. E. Green. This year Independence Day falling on Sunday, the Men's League took advantage of the presence in the city of cne of America's foremost lecturers, the Dr. Thos. E. Green, and secured him for a patriotic address at the Sunday livening Service. The service was in reality a part of the City's Fourth of July celebration and was announced as such in the daily papers for some days previous. As a consequence a very large audience was in attendance and the service proved a most memorable occasion, Dr. Green more than sustained his reputation which had preceded him. His address '"The Red, White and Blue." was a most eloquent appeal to the highest patriotism. "Did anyone make our flag? Ah, no! By colors that will not fade, By sinuous sweep, and by deathless glowIt is us that the flag has made! And it whispers today to each star-told state You must hold me high, and must keep me great.'" July ii.—Farewell Message from Rev. Curtis E. Shields. It was the pleasure of all who attended Central LTnion Sunday morning, July 11, to hear a ..plendid sermon from the Rev. Curtis E. Shields, who was visiting in Honolulu for a few days before leaving for the mainland. His five and a half years of very fruitful labor in the islands, as pastor of the Union Church at Hilo, had made his name familiar to a great many who had never him speak. His sermon, "Without a Vision—Death," was greatly appreciated by all, and his presence afforded Central Union opportunity to give him and his family a hearty parting "aloha." July 14.—Address on Japan by Hon. Wm. R. Castle. At the regular mid-week service, July i/t Castle iust WW"*-. who had J -4. Hon Wm R 1 J ...... »*. ... V W.U 9 returned from a three months' tour in Japan, gave a most interesting address on the new spirit everywhere manifest in that empire. He had had unusual opportunity for coming into touch with the leaders and his words were, therefore, most significant. He spoke with special emphasis of the universal good will which he everywhere found towards th ! L'nited States, and the high regard which the leading men of Japan hay.' for our country. August —"Work Among the Moun4. tain WHITES." —An Address by Rev. Henry P. Judd. For two years before returning t: Hawaii to take up his present position August 8.—"Some Changes in Chi- na."—An Address by Rev. Wm. B. Stelle of Peking. It has been a long time since Central L'nion Church has heard a stronger, note stirring missionary address than this one of Mr. Strife's, A larger than usual Sunday morning audience wa present to hear him tell of the great transition through which China is passing and of her consequent great need at this time. Mr. and Mrs. Stelle are just returning to their work in Peking after a year's furlough in the home land, and were staying over one steamer with Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Atherton, who are near relatives. REV. CUKTIS E. SHIELDS. as Superintendent of Sunday School August work in the Territory under the Hawaiian Board, Mr. Judd was engaged as Home Missionary of the Presbyter.an Home Mission Board, among the mountain whites of North Carolina and Tennessee. A report of his many interest ing experiences and of the difficulty of work in that mountainous district with its backward, but nevertheless sturdy, people, gave all who were present at the mid-week service, Aug. 4. a most enjoyable and profitable evening. Were it not for the fact that Mr. Judd is so peculiarly adapted for his present position of furthering Sunday School interests among the Hawaiian churches of the islands, it would almost seem to have been a mistake to call him away from a work so needy in which he had already made so splendid a beguiling. «* Young People's Rally. 15.—Union Hawaii was well represented at the International Convention of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor held at St. Paul, four delegates being present from these islands. Sunday evening, August 15, the Young People's Society of the churches of the city met in a Union meeting in Central Union Church to hear the report of the two delegates from Oahu, Rev. M. K. Xakuina and Judge Archibald S. Mahaulu. Judge Mahaulu spoke first and drew som • very helcful lessons from the various experiences which they had on their voyage. Rev. Mr. Naku'na spoke at greater recent (Continued on page 16). �THE FRIEND. 10 Men Working for Men PAUL SUPER The executive force of the Young Men's Christian Asssciation has been strengthened by the addition of Mr. Arthur Edwin Larimer, who began his work as educational and membership The secretary the first of September. in September will be spent in daily conferences on the different departments of the work.

This year we will have "Soldiers and Sailors' Night" once a week. Friday night, for instance, we will have a meeting at the building just for the men of the service. This will be advertised at the various posts, in the papers, and cards will be distributed to the military men on the streets after supper. In this way we should get a good attendance. The men do not like to stay in the post after the work of the day is done, but want to get out for a walk. Many come to town, and not a few of these would be glad to spend an hour of the evening in such a meeting. We have talked to both soldiers and marines about the plan and have reason to believe it will succeed. with the plan. A. E.

While in college, Mr. Larimer took active part in all student activities, representing his college in intercollegiate debat;, tennis, and tract work.

(Concluded from August No.) What transitions of experience- one may pass through in a few hours. At noon we bad left the sea level, at night we were sleeping (?) nearly two miles up in the sky, using the summit of Haleakala for our pillow. I'aid talked about the third heaven, some ambitious people talk about the seventh. As for us, we could not tell just how many heavens there were around us. At least one beautiful heaven rolled far beneath us, the glory gilded clouds, and through the rifts we could look way down upon the green earth and the foam crested sea. The eastern heaven and the western chanted back and forth to each other in answering color tones, and the heaven above smiled down, perhaps most beautiful of all. Then we had spent a whole day in trying to get back to earth again. ()ur destination that day was Kaupo,—a word meaning, "They arrived and it was night,"—well named, it is so many miles from anywhere. Night had come and we had not arrived, but it is needless to say, that after spending that night unsheltered in the rain, the word which the first streak of gray dawn whispered into our ears was "Kaupo." To us there was but one place on earth and that was Kaupo, and we lost no time in making for it. At last, from the high hills we caught sight of the enchanted city.

"The Bible is not true! The sun does not rise, and the stars are fixed in no firmament! The world was not made in six days! We've learned better." Spectacular and easy, this method of teaching! But who is inspired by it to better living? One who indulges in this gospel of negation finds his appetite more and more sharpened for sensation. He may proceed at first timidly, then boldly, and at last find pleasure in the coarse and blatant ravings of the infidel lecturer who said, "There is no God. I defy the Almighty to strike me dead in five minutes." How splendidly Divine it would have been, wouldn't it, if the Almighty had snapped up this opportunity to establish the proof of his own existence! Tt is this spectacular character of negation that catches the popular mind in such articles as those of Harold Bolce in the Cosmopolitan, entitled "Christianity in the Crucible," in which he easily startles the world by selecting from the writings of modern educators, statements which seem to deny the accepted foundations of Christianity. He gives us, for example, under the photograph of Prof. Hoffman of Union College, this quotation: "When we think of Jesus as manifesting to us the Father, we should not attribute to him a divinity different from our divinity', for we are as truly sons of God as was the Nazarene." Perhaps these are the real sentiments of Prof. Hoffman, but we can not help remarking the effect of that negative statement, "we should not attribute to him a divinity different from our divinity." That "not" drags Christ down to our level, and tltere is nothing left except an impression of our own conceit or self-satisfaction in being as divine as He is. Would it not be more becoming as well as inspiring to think positively instead negatively, and to say "The Divine life and character of Testis inspires me to strive for the realization of the divine that there is in me." Let us cultivate the habit of seeing and speaking of the things that are positive. The stand or fall of the Gospel will not be determined by the attitude of educators or of any other class. It will stand if it cultivates in men the spirit of affirmation; if it gives them a ground of faith, to stand on. Tt will fall if it talks in negatives. In the serious business of life we want affirmation not negation, and as long as there are in the world men with positiveness of character, the Gospel of affirmation, the gospel of faith, —will find in them a hearty response. — �September, 1909 THE FRIEND 14 affected, for the idol had no power.

Mr. Wells suggests several interesting lines of study, among ethers Ix-ing a Bible search, a biographical lesson about some of the leaders in temperance reform, a historical study of the temperance movement, a newspa- out current items about inoatsperanee and the campaigns against liquor, a study of maps showing the progress of the prohibition movcn cut, a study of statistics and a lesson on quotations bearing on the topic of temperance. In these and many other ways the pupils may easily become interested in the temperance movement and become good friends of the cause. per study to find GO SLOW. The greatest progress is sometimes made by going slow. The impulsive man of course cannot see how this can be true, but the wise leader knows that it is truth. In introducing new methods into the Sunday School the superintendent must keep cool and at the same time be sure that his school is kept calm. The danger is that the leader in reform drives his school off his feet, losing kpecd instead of making it. One reform introduced, established, retained for ten years is worth more than twenty reforms introducing chaos for a year, cumbering riie school as so much rubbish thereafter. Many a Sunday School ought to have a rummage sale of ill-timed notions that are abused liecausc they caniot be used. QUALIFICATIONS FOR A TEACHER. In the winning of men to Christ it is ether men who are the means. Men who have found the Saviour can tell other men how to find Him. The first qualification of the efficient teacher is that he should be a Christian. His work is for the Gospel of Christ, to bring others to Him and build them up in Christ, so the teacher himself must be a follower of Christ. He should be a Christian in belief, in experience and in example, and should be a teacher not only for the hour in the Sunday School, but also for every day in the week. The teacher should also be a church member, and, more than a member, he should be a working member. Moreover he should be a student ot the Bible, for he is called upon to teach it to others. He must be a teachable student, turning to the Word, seeking its truth to supply the needs of his (lass, and not in a spirit of criticism or to inject into it his own opinions. He must be a thorough student, not only of the lesson but of the whole book and volume containing the lesson, for only as he has a wide knowledge of the Bible as a book can he understand the specific lesson which he must teach his class. He must be a real teacher, not merely in knowledge of the lesson but in the principles and methods of leaching. Hemust fit his lesson to his class, and be able to look at the lesson through the eyes of his class. The teacher must be a friend. His work is with living souls and no intellectual machine can touch living hearts. It is not an easy matter to lead people to Christ. It is not done by imparting knowledge. It is not done by a few earnest words, that is why so many of our efforts fail. We may be earnest enough. We may know the Bible well enough, but we must teach individuals, not classes. We must live close to the pupils. Tt is by personal contact of heart with heart that leads pupils up to the best in'thought and life. A teacher must have heart-power, a capacity to feel with and not for his pupil. To look at the world through his eyes; to have an appreciation of his nature and his surroundings. His friendship will show itself in acts—not great but, in a glance, a word, a little encouragement in time of trouble. These acts are what make a teacher's influence potent. lor 190*).

During the past nine years, the period during which the growth from $21,000,-(XTo invested in buildings to $47,000,000 has taken place, the religious activity has more than kept pace with our financial activity. While the value of our equipment has increased 117 per cent., and the amount spent on current expenses 136 per cent., the number of prolesse-il conversions has increased 331; per cent and the number of men and boys enrolled in Bible study 561 per cent. The attendance at meetings held in shops has grown from 76,exx) to 983,-075, while the at.endance at general men's meetings grew from 1,718,000 to 4,906,395. Last year the religious work of the Y. M.

AUGUST 18.—Address iiv Mr. John Akundki. on the Work op Our Missionaries at Nauru. Although not announced as a missionary concert the mid-week service on August 18 was one of the best, most interesting missionary evenings we have had for a long time. And what madeit so was the earnest, and at the same lime most enlightening talk which Mr. John Arundel gave about Nauru in par-in ticular and the South Sea Islands general. Mr. Arundel has large commercial interests in the Pleasant Islands and also in the ( >ccan Islands, and being a most devout Christian man, a man who most surely carries his religion into ev- ery part of his business relations, can toll from first-hand observation, and from his own personal participation about the work which is being done for the Christianisation of the natives of those islands. He spoke in warmest commendation of the splendid work which Mr. and Mrs. De-laporte, Central Union's missionaries at Nauru, are doing and of his own deep interest in their work. Tt was most gratifying to hear of both these things. Surely Central Union is fortunate in having such devoted and capable representatives at this important mission station and the mission is most fortunate in having so good a friend as Mr. Arundel has proved himself to be. Hawaii Cousins The following letter, written by Rev. Claude M. Severence, July 27, 1909, to the Cousins, will be of interest to the kamaainas, especially those of Punahou: "For three years we have lived at 121 W 90th St., N. Y. City, and have allowed the home address of Mrs. Severance to continue the same. Probably it is j.isi as well to keep the same address, as we always receive the annual report in due time, which is of great interest to me,—having spent a year as teacher at ()ahu College. "I am not sure that I ever reported to you my second marriage, July Bth, 1901 to Minnehaha Schnabel, a renowned Gospel singer who studied music eight years in Germany.

You would call my wife a 'Cousin' at once and fall in love with her, for every one does. "Wishing you all a prosperous new year, I am, "Very respectfully yours, "CLAUDE M. SEVERANCE." Among many testimonials to the suc- cess of Mrs. Severance as a Gospel sing- er, Louis Albert Banks of the Christian Endeavor World writes, New York, August 22, 1899. "Fifteen years ago I was pastor of a church in Boise City, Idaho (the birthplace of Mrs. Severance), and among my parishioners was a family by the name of Schnabel. Their grounds adjoined 17 those of the parsonage in the rear of the church, and as they were our next-door neighbors, as well as a very interesting fjmily, we became very well acquainted with them. A few years afterward Mr. Sclmabel decided to take his family to Germany and leave them there for a few years that his daughters might have the ot portunity to avail themselves of the 1est musical teaching in the world.

One day she heard a sermon in a private chapel in Frankfort; and as she listened like a flash of lightning the question came to her 'What is my life worth?' and she had no peace after that until she had answered it by giving her heart and voice to Christ. She returned to this country, and has been singing with great blessing, in many parts of the country." The Chautauqua Assembly Herald says: "Mrs. Claude M. Severance, of New York City, sang a solo which appealed to those present on account of voice and technique." Evangelist Mathew Small, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "The music you make is the very voice of Heaven to the hearts of your hearers. You surpass all others in producing a strange, sweet, sacred peace and pleasure in people's souls." A letter from Frances E. Ellis, 22 Peterborough St., Roston, says: "I was deeply stirred by reading in the H. M. C. Annual Report of the life of Dr. Beckwith and of Dr. Bishop. How fortunate you were to have them, with all their ability, sacrifice and achieveI knew Mr. Thomas Gulick ments. when he was in Boston several years ago and had many interesting talks with him about the Cousin's Society and other interesting matters pertaining to the islands.

X AOllU—August 5, 1909, at Honolulu, Sam Kaohu, a member of King recommend to those who desire to have in small compass the facts and reasons on which Christian faith is based. It presents clearly the "reason for the hope that is in us." Many a man becomes a Christian from the sincerest motives and because his hungry soul finds in Christian teaching the bread that satisfies; but not having reali7xd the importance of testing beforehand the foundations of his faith, he afterwards becomes the easy prey of doubts and the ingenious arguments of scoffers. Happy is the man who in such dark hours of early scepticism finds a wise and sympathetic counsellor. Such a counsellor is found in this book; reverent and conservative and yet approaching the gnat debated questions f faith in a spirit so transparently honest < Kalakau's bodyguard.
