T. R. The Mainland Side. Prohibition in Hawaii is also demanded for the good of the entire Nation. We are told by the daily press that Oahu will soon have quartered upon it ten thousand soldiers. These, together with the marines and sailors, the workmen and purveyors to all these classes, will augment our population by some twenty thousand. It is clear to anyone who knows Congress that the Xation wants its battles fought by sober men. the kind of employee which its great corporations are seeking. A drunken army is a disgrace But if the No. 12 large force destined for Oahu be stationed here and cordoned with saloons, a considerable proportion will inevitably be tempted to drunkenness. Our Island American form of government has proved far less able to save the Hawaiians from drink than that of the Kamehameha sovereigns. It certainly cannot be trusted to safeguard the Nation's soldiers and sailors. If anything were needed further to demonstrate this, it would be the protest of the Legislature against the proposed law now before Congress. Delegate Kalanianaole has jtlso come out against national action for Hawaii, if he is correctly reported IB a recent interview. Some months ago it was said around town that he was in favor of Congress acting to prohibit the sale and manufacture of intoxicants here, it needs a strong man. however, to resist the pressure; which the liquor interests can bring to bear upon a legislator. The protest of our legislature and Delegate Kalanianaole'a ;tt lit tide are hard nuts for our Anti-Saloon League to crack. But the spirit of this organization knows no discouragement and the fight will be fought to the last ditch. May God give the forces arrayed against King Alcohol the victory! « Encouraging Signs. At hast one citizen has shown his faith by his works and booked by one of the Marus to the Coast next summer. This means that the stand of Secretary Ballinger for justice to Hawaii is taken to indicate that the good sense of Congress will champion the same honest course. Our legislature stultified itself by its failure to support the overwhelming sentiment of the people in favor of the suspension of the coastwise laws for these Islands. It is significant that even the local corporation most interested in opposing, for purely selfish reasons, this public sentiment is by no means united in this short-sighted course, several of its highest officers including its presi- �December, 1909 THE FRIEND, 4 dent being public-spirited enough to all their influence on the side of economic righteousness. It is to be hoped that when Congress gets down to a consideration of the question, it will see the injustice of any restriction upon our trade with the mainland and cast will suspend entirely the operation of the coastwise laws, both freight and passengers. its regards More Good News. Late advices from Washington seem that the sober second sight of the American people is being aroused to the economic folly of fettering the liberty of the Nation by creating a mammoth shipping trust through the operation of a ship subsidy system. Papers like the Outlook are doing yeoto indicate man's service here and are being joined by a Pacific Coast organ now and then, as notably in Portland, Oregon. Let the good work go on. Some day Congress will awake to the fact that if permission be given Americans to fly the Hag over ships bought in the cheapest market and man them with international crews, not only will the Stars and Stripes adorn all the seas of the globe again, but the United States will learn a second time how to build ships cheaper and better and with higher-paid labor than any other country on earth. More Hours of Work. In the face of the universal trend towards fewer hours of daily labor, it is proposed to open Honolulu stores at night. This proposal is urged in the interests of White versus Asiatic shopkeepers. Is t his a symptom of a coming time in world-history when the yellow man. trained by centuries of heredity and environment to work, shall have pushed to the wall the Caucasian educated to fight? Perhaps so. At all events it is a sign of surrender. We Americans pride ourselves upon our love of higher things and claim that large culture fits a man to win when he is forced to compete with those who spend all their time in drudgery. Hut here in Hawaii where East meets West on even terms, the East is forcing our hand and our merchants are proposing I'AI.AMA's MOOF.I. COTTAGES, capitulate and become the drudges that Eastern shopkeepers are. We believe the proposal unwise. It will not defeat the Asiatic lie will whip us out unless we succeed in inoculating him with our standards. Exactly here is our miserable weakness. We refuse to make him submit to our standards while hi' expects us to insist upon them as rights. Take Sunday, for into The Oriental looks upon us with supreme contempt because of our hick of backbone in maintaining this honored and wise institution. Heine when we ordain that on Sunday he can sell fruit and drinks, he puts fruit and drinks into all sorts of stores and saucily snaps his fingers in the face of our milk-and-water Sabbath regulations. If with respect for our own institutions we should return to our old-time American custom of making Sunday selling of every commodity except medicines illegal, allowing milk and ice delivery alone, the Oriental would mightily respect us. He would also lose a tremendous advantage in competitive trade because large numbers of white merchants will not keep open shop on Sunday. Soon his employees would learn that Sunday rest is their right and thus it decided gain in educating our competitors up to our standards would be effected. Evening closing on week-days cannot be secured by law. but if we Americans stand together, difficulties in the path of evenstance. shopping at Oriental stores may be created slowly. The Orientals employed in our shops will because of their evening leisure constitute it sort of aristocracy of clerks and soon their fellowracials who have to work at night will complain at the injustice. The authoriing ties at the various camps may encourtheir men to be in town during the day. Public sentiment condemning evening opening may be fostered and in time the Asiatics will respond thereto Milt if we begin to yield point by point to Asiatic standards of labor instead of endeavoring to bring them up to out's it will be a sorry day for white dominance here. By till means let us get back to ;i rigid Sunday closing of all stores. This will be a tremendous blow at Asiatic competition. Then sedulously cultivate the sentiment that only a mean, onbrotherly employee, enemy of the new social order, keeps open evenings. It need scarcely be added that certain kinds of business, such as restaurants, drug-shops and the like, must he open out of regular hours, hut the merchants owning these may satisfy the demands of social justice by double shifts of employees or rotation in hours of work. It will be a sad day for Honolulu when it goes back to longer hours of labor for any class of workingnien. age Be humble, Moody. or you'll stumble. —D. L. �THE FRIEND, December, lyoy. Palama.

So far, seventy-five boys have entered, with an average attendance of thirty-five each evening, which number crowds our club rooms to the limit. If one could have heard the news of the announcement that the Settlement would be opened the first evening as shouted from one street corner to the other, up and down the streets by the boys, there would be no doubt, if such ever existed, as to the appreciation of the privileges offered.

It is well-recognized that the salaries paid by our Hawaiian churches are in many cases far from being adequate. 11l order to meet the needs of the ease. Pastor's Aid Societies have been formed on each of the Islands, and have been in operation for a number of years. These societies are dependent on the generosity of individuals, and have accomplished excellent results with the funds at their disposal. For they have thus made it possible for some churches have regular preaching services that might otherwise have continued pastorless. The aid thus rendered has also relieved the pressing Deeds of not a \'t\v ministers who have thus 1 n freed to give their whole time and interest to the work of the churches. There can be no question, however, that in many cases the pastors should receive more than they are now receiving- The salary should be at least adequate to the actual living need, so that there shall be no necessity for the minister to supplement his salary by entering on other employment that would take him from his legitimate work as minister to his people. In England, the churches of our order have undertaken to raise ji fund whereby each and every minister shall n ive at least a certain specified salary. Large success is already attending this movement. Such a fund would be specially useful among us. with wise safeguards in administering the fund. Thus no pari of the income should be granted where the church does not pledge itself to meet its equitable share of the specified salary. A fund like this might well be vested in the Hawaiian Board, the into Decerning, THE FRIEND, come to be administered by it all over the Territory in the interest of a living ■alary for every worker of whatever nationality. Just now such a fund would be called on most heavily in behalf of our Hawaiian ministers, whose efficiency will be measurably promoted by the relief such aid would bring. New Men for the Ministry. Promising young men. who have already demonstrated their ability in Christian leadership and who have had some drawings to the Christian ministry, are undoubtedly deterred from offering themselves to our churches on account of the meagerness of salary. They are ready to deny themselves, even to the extent of relinquishing much better opportunities financially, but they must have a living salary assured them. The churches, in many cases, cannot guarantee such a salary in Hawaii, any more than they can in England, or on the mainland, and it fund judiciously administered seems the only solution. Lack of a living salary ought not to operate in this land to keep worthy men out of the ministry. We need our best-equipped men in the ministry ; but we must be content to see them doing Christian work as laymen, unless adequate salaries can be provided to enable them to become the leaders of the people front the pulpit. The World in Boston. With the American Board going up to its great meeting at Minneapolis out of debt, and with unusual interest already focusing on its Centennial to be held next year in Boston, there come encouraging tidings of the preliminary organisation of a great inter-denominational missionary exposition to be held possibly in the fall of 1910. This is to be an exhibit of foreign and home missions on a settle never before attempted in our country. Similar exhibits in England during the last few years have been regarded as exceedingly profitable in awakening popular interest in worldwide mission endeavor. We are manifestly in an era of contagious interest in the doing of things for the Kingdom of God. The proposed exhibit is to be known as "The World in Boston." If njoj. the plans carry, Boston will certainly have one view of world-life that the public is not as well acquainted with a.s should be the case in this age of wondrous missionary opportunity, and of almost unexampled headway in the Christian uplift of the race. A Welcome Assurance. We are glad to print elsewhere Bish- op Restarick's statement to the effect that there is no plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on Kauai. This satisfies the protest made by the Kauai Association, and makes for the continuance of Christian cooperation without needless division in that limited field. That there may be no misunderstanding as to certain questions raised in Bishop Restarick's statement, we print the following correspondence, which needs no comment, and may well close the incident : (1) November 5, 1909. The Right Rev. 11. H. Restarick. Honolulu. .My Dear Sir: — At the recent meeting of the Kauai Association held at Koloa. certain ait ion was taken which, hy vote of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, I hereby officially communicate to you. The action taken by the Kauai Association was as follows: "I. We heartily approve of the courtesy of those of our pastors who have extended the occasional use of their houses of worship to our brethren of the Episcopalian ministry. We are convinced that such courtesies, when mutually extended, would do much to unify believers of every name. "2. The practice of our churches in the past has heen such as to guarantee the continuance of such courtesies, and this fact is a sufficient consideration why the introduction of other churches in this limited field should be deplored. "3. Accordingly we learn with sorrow of tli<' proposed plan to establish an Episcopalian Church on this Island. In the Interests of the churches already occupying this field, and in behalf of Christian efficiency, we hereby record our protest against this plan, believing that it will only breed divisoin and harm to the cause of Christ.

It would seem to us that it is scarcely courteous to invite a guest and then accuse him of "taking advantage" of courtesies extended to him. without taking pains by enquiry to ascertain whether there were filets on which to base the charge. While on this subject I should like to explain my attitude as to our work on Kauai and I leave it to your readers to judge whether my position is reasonable, fair, just and kindly. On the Island of Kauai there are three I'nion Churches. These report a total of 56 members (see Eighty-seventh Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association).

Editor of Tiik Fhikni): I ask for space that I may make a statement with reference to an article in your November issue entitled "A Courteous Protest." In that article I am accused of intending to "take advantage" of those "courtesies" which where last .lanuary the Rev. Canon Simpson held services at the request of the people while he was staying with the Knudsens. This Church, we understand, is an independent one, which we find by reference makes no report to some one to minister to them. They want the sacraments administered to them according to their convictions. They believe that it is my duty to try to minister to them. When I first, visited Kauai I saw the the Hawaiian Board. existing conditions and knew that the No request has ever been made by me controlling interests were generally adnor by any of our clergy for the use verse to my doing anything. I went to �the Island occasionally after that. Bap- Men Working for Men tizing and administering the Holy Communion. It was only when a definite proposition was made as to services that we began regular work. The work which we have done on Kauai has been ministering to our own people, greatly to the joy and comfort of many. I do not think our Christian friends of other names realize how dear the Mother Church and her services are to her children, how they can never feel at home elsewhere, and how strongly some of them hold to the principles which they have been taught. There are scattered people on Kauai who are as loyal to their Mother Church as ever, though they have been cut off from her regular ministrations for years. Have I done wrong or have I fomented divisions by ministering to the loyal children of a Mother Church most dear to them? I leave it to fair-minded people to answer the question. Now I have a proposition. Suppose it is recognized that in these Union Churches there are members of the Episcopal Church. Is it a part of any compact of the Union Churches of Kauai that these should not be allowed by agreement to have a clergyman of their choice to minister to them occasionally or even regularly? That is all we have been doing. If the I'nion Churches refuse to recognize the facts U they exist, then we should be driven to build a Church in some central place, and to put in a resident clergyman,— for minister to our people we must and shall. However, the resolutions passed at Koloa are based on surmises and not on any plans laid down by us. As to "strife of deiiominationalisni." which the Rev. Mr. Oleson hopes will not be introduced, I will say that it has unhappily been introduced in places where for years we had held the English-speaking field. The Hawaiian Board saw fit to send workers to these places sometimes in the face of the protests of the people generally. If I am permitted to do so. I will state these cases in the next issue of The Friexd plainly and kindly, that the facts may be known, and fair judgment made. HENRY B. RESTARICK.

These young men are not objects of charity, but are paying as large a proportion of the expenses of the institution themselves as that defrayed by the tuition fees of most college men, the tuition fees practically de- fraying the cost of instruction. HOME RULE AND PROHIBITION. The Home Rule position on the most recent temperance issue is most plausible. It is substantially this,—"Prohibition may or may not be a good thing. If it is. let the Territory secure its passage in its own legislature. We are able to take care of our own affairs. To ask Federal intervention is to admit inability to handle this and other questions." Such an argument as the foregoing has captured both houses of Hawaii's legislature and silenced some effort in behalf of Senator Johnson's Bill 1862 in favor of Federal enactment of Prohibition. Whether the action of the legislature has seriously affected the chances of the Bill's success is doubted by many, who argue as follows: If there is need of action on the part of Congress to protect the native people and U. S. garrisons from drink deterioration, that need is the more emphasised by what looks like legislative protection of liquor interests in the guise of local patriotism. A protest of the liquor people was to he expected. That Mr. Cohen, who candidly announces himself as the representative of the California Wine Ass'n.. should voice this protest in a concurrent resolution was in line with the nature of things. That he should work on the patriotic susceptibilities of his colleagues" was his good generalship. That he played on the pique of the legislators who had not been consulted, while "Woolley. a stranger, had originated a bill and on his own responsibility was trying to force it over the heads of the 11 FRIEND people," this was more luck than he de- away."

They often teach you more about yourself than do the compliments of a friend." �December, 1909 THE FRIEND, 12 Range Lights By JOHN G. WOOLLEY, LL. D. When this issue of The Friend reaches the reader, the Sixty-first Congress will be in session at Washington. The usual pack of jackall bills will introduce themselves. But they will have poor hunting. Lions of legislation will have the field, and Conservation will be King. On National Resources. "Conservation," as employed in the Roosevelt Magna Charta, means salvation of trees and mines and streams and soils and scenery,—in peril, now, of greed, or recklessness, or vandalism. Fire-protection and axe-protection, for forests, are to be provided, and water-powers are to be snatched from the jaws of the Trust crocodile. And it is well. The national resources, material and aesthetic, are the people's birthright. Good statesmanship will guard them jealously, and good citizenship will put the seal of popular appreciation on the work. Prompt action by the Territorial authorities has brought the claims and conditions of Hawaii into the body of the movement. Without dissent, the great convention at Spokane voted that Congress ought to include these islands in its scheme of saving and development. —all the more because of their less ability and greater need than the mainland. Power Going to Waste. But is not "life more than meat, and the body than raiment t" Hawaiian women need protection more than Hawaiian trees. Hawaiian men need development in civic fruitfulness more than Hawaiian lands need irrigation. Man-power is going to waste faster than water-power, here. The liquor trade is cutting off the prospects of the Hawaiian natives, as relentlessly as the improvident Kings destroyed the sandalwood. For nearly a hundred years the missionary spirit has fought the parasite that feeds on the new top-shoots of The measure of its failure is the gain of the liquor-dealer. Christian civilization cannot hold its own, in a system of liquor licensing, against the moral pirates of the Pacific, whose rhetoric has coupled and standardized the expressions "damned missionary," and "damned kanaka." The missionary brought a hard proposition to the barbarian—"Deny yourself;" "Respect yourself;" "Employ yourself;" "Know yourself." The liquor dealer left that out of sight in the rear, with his dirty evangel, "Indulge yourself;" "Enjoy yourself;" "Forget yourself." character. Liberty and Liquor. The soundest and strongest heeded the high word, and grew and thrived. The tabu saved the weak, in a measure, for a while, and then, the law, also. But the Kings indulged themselves, and, in clouded judgment, listened with favor to the sort of white men that make "liberty" and "liquor" synonyms; and gave the traffic legal life and character. It grew, of course, in power and insolence, and when at last it demanded the repeal of the law forbidding the sale of drink to natives, it was given; and the government threw its children to the sharks of trade and politics. Federal Support of Lawlessness. And now the struggle is to "regulate" the sharks. The license commissions feel constrained to authorize about 160, in the Territory. But the Collector of Internal Revenue has issued for the year over five hundred liquor-dealer's Federal special tax receipts. Omitting a dozen rectifiers, and the like, who require no Territorial license, more than three hundred liquor dealers are known to be violators of the local law. In fact a correct census of illicits would show far more than that. These are the smaller and least-harmful sharks. I only mention them to show how impotent the native authorities are to cope with such a public enemy. The license commission of Honolulu forbids the sale of liquors on Sunday, and the licensed dealers, generally, obey. But the brewery output Mows, seven days in the week, in spite of law. As if the poverty and the brewery and the licensed dram-shops of Kakaako were not enough to damn the district, a lot of "blind pigs" combine with a lot of drunken marines, to make each night a reign of terror to the decent there. So the sentiment of seventeen treaty nations, in favor of protecting natives of these seas from drink, goes begging. So the law of Congress, to protect the soldier and the sailor, comes to naught. So the teaching of the public schools, that alcohol is a poison, is made ridiculous to children's minds. So the police power of the Territory wears a dunce-cap. So the steeple of the church, the greatest organization on this earth, slopes upward like an idiot's forehead, while the dram-shop exploits the native race that the church came to seek and to save. A Rat in the Cane. Make no mistake, through tenderness of feeling. The drink-seller knows no power but force. He is a cut-worm at the root of human progress. He is a rat in the cane. He is a beetle in the rose-garden. But we must discriminate between the drink-seller and the MAN, in the drink-seller. One is a beast of prey, to be hated and hunted and blotted out. The other is a victim of conditions for which all of us are to blame. No quarter for the drink-seller! Help for the MAN—a chance to break stone, sweep crossings, drive a cart, something, anything, honest and helpful! The Territory cannot solve the problem alone. We have a right to Federal aid. and can get it, if the Christian people of the Islands put their hands and hearts to it. Write to some member of Congress and implore his active help to pass Senate Bill 1862. �December, 1909. Educational Advance F. W. DAMON THE TEACHING PROFESSION. The November "The World's Work" contains an article demanding more than passing notice. Under the caption. "The Confessions of a Successful Teacher," an article is written reflecting seriously upon the profession of teaching and upon teachers in general. The article is most unfair. Half-truths are told, inferences made, certain conditions are emphasized, and conclusions drawn entirely misleading. The writer, who. by the way. seems to lack the courage to sign his name, presumes to speak for "just all of us" teachers. He says and puts in italics, "we hate our work" and "we are ashamed of our profession. Speaking for myself, and I am sure I voice the sentiment of many others, I neither "hate" my work, nor am I "ashamed of my profession." I "regret" the writing and publishing of the article, and I am "ashamed" of the writer who has the temerity to sign himself "a successful teacher." I protest against the incorrect use of the verb "hate." I protest against the sentiment the writer expresses. I protest against the publishing of an unsigned article. I protest against the article as a whole and the separate parts. I do not deny that the abuses the writer depicts exist. Unpleasant experiences, trying hours, heart-rending moments come in teaching. No one denies this. Certain days come in the teacher's life that use every particle of his strength and courage, and the evening finds him literally worn out with the annoying worries of the day. Is the minister free from the same experience? Do not the lawyers, doctors, merchants, business men. —indeed all men and Women who occupy positions of trust and responsibility,—have the same experiences? Why should this distressed cry come from the teacher? The teaching profession is poorly paid. No one denies it. Earnest efforts are being made to better these conditions. Other professions are poor- ' THE 13 FRIEND ly paid—ministers, social workers, Y. M. C. A. officers, etc. Politics enters into appointments in many places. Is this confined to teaching? Pull exists. Does it exist nowhere else? The inexperienced teacher often finds it hard to get her first school. Is not this true of most beginners? The writer divides his subject. He says, "Teaching is hateful at best." His argument is the difficulty of securing and holding a position. The reason needs no further comment than this. Hundreds of new teachers are beginning each year without serious difficulty. Some are eliminated from the ranks each year. I have not noticed any perceptible decrease in the numbers of experienced teachers. Individual cases of loss of position through "pull." ignorance of school boards, undoubtedly exist. The writer declaims against the woman trustee. To my mind the women members of school boards have done much to raise the standard of such boards. The next three headings. "Trying to Please Everybody," "A Token of Regard." "Sham and Hypocrisy Widespread," are absurdly developed. The whole article shows a lack of appreciation of opportunity, a violation of trust, a condition of mind that should brand him at once as one unfit to teach, much less to speak for teachers. The author of this protest has nearly fifty teachers either directly or indirectly under him. He has a fairly broad acquaintance with teachers of public and private schools, here in Honolulu, in the East, and in the Middle West of the United States. After more than twenty years of teaching, he can say with all sincerity that these conditions do not exist sufficiently to justify anyone in making the general I have seen abuses. statements. Among the thousands and thousands of teachers, some very bitter experiences can be recorded. But to pick out the unusual and make them stand for the whole is unprofessional, unfair, and untrue. The next heading is, "Teachers Ashamed of Their Profession." I have never known a good teacher who was ashamed of his profission. I glory in my work. I know my colleagues are not ashamed of their calling. I know of no teacher in public or private schools, man or woman, who feels any desire to hide his occupation. Some tire of the work. Some grow discontented. Some seek other fields. Some find themselves unqualified. Some few are embittered and say harsh words of their work. None of these are ashamed of the profession. Some may be envious of the position of others. Those who have changed their occupations continue to speak pleasantly of their teaching days. We regret our failures. We bemoan opportunities lost. But ashamed of our work—never! We have an optimism that will not down. The final heading, "Men Teachers Are Low-Grade," is not pleasing reading for men teachers. Is it true? The readers of this article must answer. Run over the list of the fifty or more men teachers in Honolulu; ask yourself if these men are low-grade. Let me suggest a few names as a beginning to the list—Professor Alexander, Professor Scott. Professor Wood, President Griffiths, President Gilmore, Principals Baldwin, Davis and Merrill, Mr. F. W. Damon. Mr. W. 11. Babbitt. This list can lie multiplied many times in the public and private schools of the city, and in the Board of Education. Are these men the left-overs, are they young men who have taken up the work for a year or two, or are they men "lacking in the indispensable masculine qualities of backbone, independence and self-reliance"? These,are the three classes to which the writer, who does not sign his name, consigns the men teachers. The women teachers fare little better at his hands. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the subject. The pessimistic view taken by the magazine writer is inexcusable in a teacher. Any individual who continues to occupy a position of teacher through many years and believes the words written, has no justification in continuing. Better be a day laborer of the lowest type, better starve, than to carry either consciously or unconscious- ly such ideas into a school-room to poison the minds there assembled. To carry such ideas into a school-room, even under a smirking exterior, is little less than criminal. "As a man thinketh. so is he." PERLEY L. HORNE. �THE 14 December, 1909 FRIEND, 8.

The Ladies' Bazaar has come and gone and there is now only a pleasant memory of it left. The Parish House grounds never presented so gay an appearance. With flags and streamers of every nationality strung across from church to parish house, and from tree to tree; with prettily decorated booths occupying every available nook, laden with every imaginable dainty and presided over by charming ladies ; with the Hawaiian Band filling- the air with sweet strains; and all under Hawaii's fairest summer skies, even though the calendar said it was November, — who could resist buying amid such an enchanting environment? The Bazaar was declared open at 2 o'clock and, although there was an admission fee, anxious buyers soon thronged the grounds and filled the Parish House, where plain-sewed articles of clothing, fancy work, dolls, curios, etc., were on sale. By 5 o'clock practically everything was sold. The only auction necessary was at the delicatessen table, where those who lingered got some great bargains in cakes, pies, canned fruits, and jellies. When all was over and the Treasurer counted the coin it was found that . THE 15 FRIEND $1,020 had been cleared. So from a financial as well as from an artistic point of view the Bazaar was a splendid success. But the money was by no means the principal nor the most important result. The membership saw its opportunity and planned to make the most of it. Two committees of five hustling ladies each engaged in a lively contest for new members, the one committee tagging those whom they secured as members with red tags and the other with blue. In this way 170 new members were added, bringing the total membership up close to 250 now. With this large membership and with funds in the treasury the Ladies' Society is now ready to do some important work in and for the church. A number of things have already been suggested, and we doubt not we shall soon see abundant evidence of their work. An Auspicious Opening. The Men's League started its second year's work Monday evening. Nov. 22, with a better enthusiasm even than characterized all of last year's meetings. One hundred and thirty men sat down to supper in the Parish House at 6:30. An hour later Chairman J. P. Cooke started the business session by calling for nominations for officers for the new year. Although many of those present felt that last year's officers should be reelected, it seemed the wiser policy to elect an entirely new set. In short order and with remarkable unanimity the following were elected: Officers—W. F. Dillingham. Chairman; Perley L. Home, Vice-Chairman; I. H. Beadle, Secretary; R. R. Reidford, Treasurer. ( ouncillors—Geo. W. Woodruff, Dr. W. (' Hobdy, J. P. Cooke. S. Dc Freest, W. J. Forbes. Paul Super. The Chairman has since made up his Cabinet by appointing the following section leaders: Friendship, W. A. Bowen; Social, J. A. Rath; Civic, A. L. Castle; Religious Work, Theo. Richards; Sunday School, C. H. Tracy; Bible Study, C. R. Frazier; Bible Representation. J. A. Wilder; Musical, Wm. A. Love; Sunday Evening Service, J. W. Gihnore; Mid-Week Service, Ed Towse; Welcoming, Dr. A. B. Clark. Spirited reports were then submitted by the Chairman, Treasurer, and by the various section leaders, showing that some very tangible results were secured along a number of lines. The Chairman in his report spoke especially of the splendid work of the leaders of the Friendship, Social, Civic, Bible Study, and Mid-Week Service sections. A Task Worth While. But the best part of the evening came when the Chairman raised the question as to what the League shall undertake for this year and introduced Dr. W. C. Hobdy. who spoke most effectively on "Fighting the White Plague." If anyone needed any convincing that here was the biggest problem now facing us, Dr. Hobdy's telling arguments certainly would have done it. Following him came Mr. Rath, who set forth the general plan of campaign as mapped out by the Red Cross Society. The part which it was hoped the Men's League would assume was the equipment and maintenance of a playground school for the tuberculous children, who would have to be removed from the public schools. The men by this time were so deeply interested that it was unanimously voted to undertake this work. The Chairman appointed as a special committee to raise the necessary funds Messrs. Abram Lewis, Jr., Willard E. Brown, and Perley L. Home. The following letter, already issued to the men of Central Union, shows how they propose to do it: November 22, 1909. Sir: — Dear We need the help of every man in Hawaii interested in lessening the ravages of the great white plague in this Territory. One individual out of every ten is doomed to die of this disease unless vigorous preventive measures are adopted. All races are affected, most of all in Hawaii, the native population. Tuberculosis can be cured. At its last meeting, the Men's League of Central Union Church unanimously voted to take care of the little children in new day camp which the Hawaiian �December, 1909 THE FRIEND. 16 Mr. Maeda writes that "seven drinkBranch of the American Red Cross Society proposes to open.

The response up to the time of this article was most encouraging. "Where is the Sunday School Lesson?" * Able Men to the Front. After Rev. A. B. Dellaan. the young man from Oberlin Theological Seminary who, with his bride, is en route to China, had finished his address at our mid-week service, Wednesday evening, Nov. 10, on "World Citizenship and Its Challenge," someone remarked. "It's a shame to send such good material to China." Judging from the evident view of that person, the same might well have been said Sunday morning, Nov. 21. after the Rev. James McClure Henry, another young man of the same fine type, also headed for China, had delivered a most forceful sermon on"The Church's One Foundation." Thank Cod. the American Church has awakened to the fact that only the best are good enough to meet the unparalleled opportunity now offered in this great Empire of the East, and we in Honolulu thank God for the privilege of having these noble young knights of the cross with us for a brief visit and then to give them God-speed toward their field of labor. We feel that in a real sense they now belong to us and that we shall have a share in the victories which they are bound to win for Christ in China. * When a man of reduced circum- stances, a member of the Wailuku Jap- anese Church, died recently in that community, nine young men. fellow Christians, dug the grave with their own hands, and provided for him a respectable burial. chair called a "manele." and borne on the shoulders of stalwart men. The vision of beauty from the eastern bank of llanapepe valley, which burst upon the entranced stranger as he looked down for the first time upon the green quilt of taro patches, has not faded from my memory. The hardygrained rice has now supplanted the taro and fills the fertile valley. A thatched house, our early abode in the Koloa station, was burnt down through the carelessness of one of the domestics, after a few months of occupancy. Thus no small portion of the household effects of the young family disappeared in smoke. An early enterprise was the erection of a large adobe church building, with a thatched roof. Corrugated iron roofing was an invention of later years. This first church was erected upon the site of the present Koloa Church edifice. But more difficult than the erection of church or parsonage was the work of enlightening the hearts and minds of the long-benighted people. Portions only of the Scriptures had as yet been translated and printed. The Christian hymns which fill so important a service in the education of the Hawaiian people, had not been written.

The Hawaiian chiefs and people were early fascinated with a desire to possess the art of reading and writing. The pioneer missionaries providentially adopted the Latin or Italian system of vowel sounds by which all Hawaiian words are indicated to the eye with great simplicity and unerring certainty. To learn to read in Hawaiian costs but a small fraction of the labor requisite for the acquisition of the art in most other languages. In 1839, nineteen years from the foundation of the mission, the translation and publication of the Hawaiian version of the Bible was completed, and the most of the people had acquired some facility at reading. The New Testament had been completed some years earlier. Ppon the arrival at Koloa of perhaps the first invoice of New Testaments, a woman from Kukuiula came bringing some potatoes, or perhaps a chicken wherewith to purchase a Testament. Money, or coin, was not yet in circulation. 1 saw the joy of this country Woman as with tears she received the precious book and thrust it into her bosom. To her it was the word of God, imparting the Light of Life. Higher criticism she had not heard of. The Great Awakening of the years 1836-1838 moved Kauai as it did the other Islands, and indeed as it did all the churches of the group. Such scenes witness to the power of the Holy Spirit as did the outpouring upon the first Pentecostal day. Of temporal prosperity and business leadership Koloa had a large share. The Koloa Sugar Plantation, commenced by Ladd & Hooper in the early forties, was perhaps the second upon the Islands in the order of time; this and the silk-producing enterprise of Mr. Sherman Peck, were the two largest ventures of those early days. The unbroken succession of sixty-six or sixtyseven crops of sugar attest the wisdom of the pioneers of this enterprise, and the abounding fertility of the soil. Of the growth of the schools and the 17 THE FRIEND. churches which cover the land, of the incoming of the Asiatic races, of the establishment of a liberal government with its legislative assemblies, its courts of justice, time allows but the briefest mention.

We have the promise of a letter to be written next Christmas, Dec. 25, 1909. at Bethlehem, and an article by another Cousin while in Europe traveling. REV. SAMUEL KAUWEALOHA. By letter just received by Mr. T. Richards from Rev. Paul Vernier, we learn of the death, July 26th. of Rev. S. Kauwealoha of the Marquesas Island mission. Mr. Oleson also has a letter from Mr. Samuel Kekela mentioning the same event and speaking of the sorrow of the kindred and of all the people at the departure of the good man, the honored missionary. The Hawaiian Mission to the Marwas founded by the Churches of Hawaii in 1853. The first company who went out consisted of Rev. James H. Kekela. the first of the ordained native pastors, the Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha of Maui, Mr. Lot Kuaihelani. and Mr. Isaia Kaiwi. These all were married men. Mr. James Bicknell also offered himself and was for several years a valuable member of the mission. Rev. B. W Parker, then missionary at Kaneohe, went with the company for a short visit. The two leading men, Kekela and Kauwealoha, were boon companions through their more than half a century of missionary service, during which they saw the roughest savages of Polynesia transformed from the darkest heathen into civilized and Christian people. Mr. Kekela by two or three returns to Hawaii, maintained acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches ami people. But it is doubted whether Mr. Kauwealoha ever once returned to visit his native land. Rev. Paul Vernier, speaking of Mr. Kauwealoha. says:"The death ef that servant of God sadly affected us. He was a very good old man, a genuine and energetic Christian, hut the burden of years and infirmities was rather heavy on him.
