was bitterly contested.
It was clear that
the Senators were heartily in favor of
re]>orting that the bill pass. But the
opposition put the home rule objections
so strongly that finally the committee
stiggested that in order not to wound the
feelings of the voters the question be
submitted to them. This was the very
card which Mr. Woolley was ready to
play in case he was put to it, hence he
agreed and was both surprised and gratified to have I'rince Kuhio heartily assent to his proposition, "If Mr. Kalanianaole will agree here and now with the

was then entered in the record of the
committee. This carries both the Delegate and Mr. McClellan in favor of the
j*
plebiscite.
The Uprising of the Women.
The tidings of this agreement awakened in Honolulu an enthusiasm that betokened a great moral movement.
All
classes felt that Congress was honoring
them in requesting their will upon the
first social question facing humanity. At
once every true hearted citizen longed to
take a hand in the battle for freeing Hawaii from the yoke of King Alhocol. Naturally the women were as profoundly
stirred as the men and the desire to
make- their will effective at the polls could
not be repressed.
The first open suggestion that "he franchise be extended to
women at the proposed plebiscite came
from a lady of well known Hawaiian ancestry.
Hut the same thought was in
many minds, and it was entirely in accord vvith the Idea!—how often true in
Hawaiian history—that "the first lady of
the Territory," our Governor's wife,
should head a movement which united
every sort of woman's organization in
Honolulu in a request to Congress that
the womanhood of the Islands be granted*
the right to help decide the great question by their ballots. An answering despatch from the Delegate showed him in
little sympathy with this significant uprising, which was as spontaneous as it
j«
was inspiring.
What Next?
The Committee session opened at

the plebiscite would be upon the question of prohibition by local legislative
action and not upon that of federal prohibition. The tidings cneated a strange
revulsion. Where before all was enthusiasm, the consciousness of a real opportunity to deliver Hawaii effectively from
society's worst foe, and a fine promise of
uniting all good citizens in one noble,
unselfish effort, now came the chill of a
profitless campaign, and the prophecy of
a fierce battle where victory might mean
a fruit with only ashes neath the rind. It
was a cruel disappointment The very
date set for the balloting in the midst of
summer, when the reform forces would
be scattered, seemed to tell the story of
Greeks bringing presents. From that day
on the heart has ebbed out of the movemen". Congress, that evidently wanted
to give Hawaii an egg, was by mistake
holding out a stone. Civic Federation and
Anti-Saloon League forthwith sent on a
plea that the voters of the Territory be
given the privilege of balloting on the
question, "Do you favor prohibition of
the liquor traffic by federal enactment."
What Congress will <lo about it is not
known.
That the Anti-Saloon forces of
Hawaii will conduct a red hot campaign
whatever be the- issue- submitted by joint
resolution to our voters, is a foregoneconclusion. We believe the result not
doubtful.
This final appeal to a dying
race to refuse to sign its own death warrant must prevail.
And the white vote
will rally in its turn to the right. Out of
such a fight as we face here a public opinion may be born that will reverse the
old rule and cause state- prohibition to
prohibit. In this conviction it is good
news to learn that Delegate Ktihio fully

J*
China at it too.
We arc indebted to that splendid representative of Uncle Sam-at-liis-best,
t ousul-General Amos P. Wilder of
Shanghai, for a pamphlet entitled "The
last Days of the Poppy," which tells the
tale of how our great neighbor to the
west is wrestling with her deadliest
physical foe. It is a noble story of rising patriotism, for the fight against
opium is begetting a new love of country
in the Celestial Empire. It takes couragefor government officials to meet the command of their emperor to extirpate this
curse to the extent of giving up their
lives in the struggle to free themselves
from the dread habit. But not a few

reports his three provinces already free
from the cultivation of the poppy. By
May of this year five more great provinces will have joined this procession of
freedom and many others are close behind. Public opinion is at white heat on
the problem, and the world is being
treated to the spectacle of a nation glowing with fervor over a mighty ideal. It
is good news for us Americans who are

Our Trolley System.
Hawaii is justly proud of its one Rapid
Transit line. Fvery visitor is impressed
with the s"able character of its road bed,
the comfort and cleanliness of its cars,
the trim appearance of its employes, their
notable courtesy, and the general character of its business management. It is a
large promotion asset. Hence whatever
criticisms may be passed upon it do not
spring from lack of appreciation of its
many excellencies. The experiences of
the past few months, however, have led
not a few to the query Whether satisfied
with the record of the past the management is not relapsing into tha' mental
quietude which menaces all human institutions with the Stick-in-the-mud principle "What was good enough for my
The
daddy is <>och\ enough for me."
only organization on earth that can stand
this sort of thing is the Christian Church
and that even the Church cannot long
stand it has been the plain teaching of
history. Honolulu has been growing
steadily, and its use of the trolley system
has kept pace with its growth.
Hut
the ten minute schedule has not been
altered, and seems to bid fair to rival the
laws of die Medcs and Persians. The
enlarged traffic makes i" impossible for
the motormen to observe the schedule,
which in consequence is a farce during
much of the day. Some sections of the
city do not even have the advantage of
this so-called ten minute privilege. At
Manoa junction the situation is pitiable.
(me never knows during the evening
when to plan for a car that will connect.
The delays arc exasperating. This havoc
with an impossible schedule drives the
motormen to undue speed and threatens
accidents which are entirely avoidable.
On Washington s Birthday one of "hese
occurred at the corner of Lunalilo and
Pensi.cola streets where a car -ii iven fa r
beyond proper speed dashed around the
curve at a rate that took away not a few
passengers' breath and hurled an unlucky rider to the ground at the price of
a broken leg.
During the busy hours
of the day at morning, noon and night
and on holidays a five minute schedule is
imperative. This would necessitate extra switches but it is time for them. The
small car nuisance during hours when
known meetings in town increase traffic
should be abated.
Often dwellers in
.Manoa bound to town between 7 and
7:30 p. m. encounter a full car at the
junction—a condition for which there i>
no excuse.
Shelters and the Like.
The Manoa Valley transfer corner
needs a better shelter against rain. Rest
stations at the west terminus of King,
the east termini of Waialac and
Alakea and the north termini of
Liliha, Emma and Manoa Valley lines
would be a great convenience. Why the
King street tracks do not run up the hill
to Fort Shafter is a cotumilrum.
To
make everyone trudge those extra few
hundred yards is an outrage on the part
of so prosperous a corporation as the 11.
K. T. & L Company. Then where in
any city in Christendom are people jerked out of ears without reason so systematically as at the corner of Beretania
and Alapai Street? More than once a
well filled large car has been emptied to
over-crowd a small one necessitating the
standing of ladies who previously had a

was only a merciful providence that saved a dozen or more lives on that wild ride
where-
niotorman and

were
cool and seemed to an onlooker to be doing their duty. Was it not courting disaster to put that ramshackle car at
work on the most dangerous run in the
city, Manoa valley, where it promptly
jumped the track on a level stretch? For
about an hour after the accident no ears
were run on the branch tho there was
nothing to prevent a relief car being on
hand within fifteen minutes. And by
the- way there is bound to be a grand
smash up on the bad hill down Punahou
street unless better time regulations are
observed.
We have rolled down that
track at a rate wholly unjustifiable just
to help patch up the broken schedule.

Maui Happenings.
In Honolulu.
The visit of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Robert
J. Ilurdette of Los Angeles has been
greatly appreciated in the capital because
of their generosity in sharing themselves
with the community at large. Dr. Burdette has spoken in his inimitable way
not only in several of our church pulpits
and before- two of our men's leagues, but
also at the Commercial Club. It is to be
hoped that he may be induced to deliver

messages are so full of wit, sense and
spiritual power that they carry far with
all sorts and conditions of people. Mrs.
Burdette also has appeared before a
number of our women's eirganizations,
and has captivated them with her own
messages. Honolulu people have cometo find the reason for the phenomenal
success of Los Angeles' Temple Baptis*
Church in the rare combination of these
two gifted Christian leaders.
The Floral Parade of 1910 will be remembered as the most interesting of all
the- scries thus far because of the great.
variety of its display. It could not rival
i"s predecssors in the bewildering beauty
of decorated private cars, which were
somewhat fewer than usual, but it certainly kept spectators more on the gui
vive, and suggested certain lines of development that may well be worked out
year by year. The tendency to fill out the
day and evening with other events was
also a happy innovation. Doubtless in
time a water carnival feature in the afternoon may be added. Mr. Ford's suggestion of enlarging the historical significance of the celebration derives point
from the very interesting floats that added so much to this year's parade. Japan's
annual flower show in Dangozaka is a
helpful commentary upon the timeliness
of Mr. Ford's suggestion. Mr. Harold
Dillingham and his associates deserve the
gratitude of the city for the impressive
demonstration which they gave of the
possibility of using the floral parade as
a means of education without sacrificing
in the least its loveliness or its appeal to
humor. A new and larger sphere ol
influence has opened before this now assured feature of Honolulu life.
of the Territory has widened his influence. On Maui he has been a tower of
strength to the ministers of all nationalities, while his peculiar gifts both in athletic and homiletic lines, have specially
endeared him to the Paia constituency.
We are glad to learn meanwhile that his
church has persuaded him to reconsider
his resignation, and that there is every
prospect of his continuing his pastorate.
This is one of the best pieces of news of
the past fortnight.— It is with great regret that we learn of the resignation of
Rev. Theo. A. Wahrip of Kahului. Mr.
Waltrip has been in the islands only two
years, but in that time he has achieved
distinct results and has made a place for
himself in the life of our churches. Kahului is a difficult field because of its
shifting population. But its Union
Church has (lone well, and as the seaport
grows will come to wield a large influence. The more we see of island life,
the more the importance of enterprises
like Kahului Union Church is impressed
upon us. The larger life of such communities is found in learning how to pull
together, and a church which buries out
of sight denominational lines and unites
all in Christian worship and service is a
rainbow of good promise for everyone
therein.
In gathering such a church
together Mr. Waltrip has done fine work.
We learn that there is some prospect of
retaining him for a needy post elsewhere
in the islands, and trust that the re-|>ort is
true.—The Friend congratulates Rev.
and Mrs. R. B. Dodge upon the advent of
their little son.
D. S.
Just as February dawned word came
that Rev. Edward Bates Turner of Paia
had resigned his charge. The news
brought keen regret not only to his parish, but also to his friends throughout the
Islands, for Mr. Turner is well known
and loved not only in the three parishes
of Kohala, Honolulu and Paia, where
he has labored so successfully, but elsewhere as well. His identification of himself with the entire Christian enterprise
THAT FIVE THOUSAND PERMANENT
FUND.
As several references have been made
in The Friend to the $5,000 Fund I am
attempting to raise for the Church and
Ministerial Aid Department of the Hawaii Association, it seems fitting that [
should report progress.
It is proving a
more difficult task than I had anticipated,
though I did not expect an easy one.
While we all rejoice over the munificent
gifts for various benevolences during the
past year or more, this modest appeal has
not met with a very general response.
The churches East are straining every
nerve apparently to meet the requirements of the "apportionment plan," and
it has been more and more impressed upon me that we must depend principally
upon our own people of the islands to
meet this need.
No contribution to the fund thus far
has been more touching than that sent
from South Dennis, collected by the present pastor of the "old home church" of
Dr. Baker and myself. This once large
and prosperous country church has dwindled because of death and removal until
there are but two men in its membership
beside the pastor. Yet Mr. and Mrs. Labarie, though strangers to us, in sending
the hundred dollars, say its collection has
been "a labor of love." and we are told
by others that he often prays publicly for
the work here, and for us by name.
Some of the amounts named have been
in two or three payments. I give them

So spoke Leslie Stephen of the human
life that lies imbedded in books. Perhaps
no "ruth of greater significance to the inindividual was ever uttered, for it restates
the passing of influence from soul to
soul. The world now realizes that Jesus'
emphasis upon the value and import of
the person was based upon its reality. A
recent writer has noted that this force of
personality stands alone as the one uncontrovertible residuum of human experience. Men have repudiated our notions
of right and wrong, they have doubted
the order of the universe, they have questioned even whether a universe existed.
But no one has yet refused to accept the
fact of his own life. Our cosmos may
dissipate, our ideals may totter, our theologies may decay—personality remains
unassailcd and eternal.
And what life does not bear witness,
though tacitly and perhaps unconsciously,
to the supremacy of this force? What existence so impoverished and purposeless
that it will not respond with unsuspected
enthusiasm to the stimulating influence of
a heroic and devoted career ? What man
of accomplishment but attributes his impulse and dynamic in large part to the
touch of other lives? What prophet, indeed, but has borrowed a human blade

Some Literary Hooes.
For those of us who must spend our
days largely in one spot, the most ready
approach to inspiring lives is through
books. This being the case, we shall probably find few who have cut their names
more deeply on the tablets of history
than those- who have recorded themselves
in literature. For when we have a man's
book we have not merely the story of his
work, but his work itself. The most complete history of New France extant commemorates a life of courage of which
Americans may well be proud. Francis
Parkman graduated from Harvard in
1X44. engaged in law for two years, then
made definite choice of a literary career.
He- gave himself to portraying the conditions which obtained on our American
continent before the coming of the
Anglo-Saxon, and to recording the circumstances that attended the clash of the
red civilization with the white. To fit
himself for this he sought personal acquaintance with the races and regions
concerned. He returned from his long
western expedition with health undermined. This handicap did not deter him

handed on blazed with devotion to an
ideal.

Nor can we ignore the characters of

To a few it is life. A humble French

Jean-Francois Millet set out to depict the
beauty and simplicity of French peasant
life. He was fettered by timidity, disheartened by scornful criticism, embarrassed by poverty. In spite of all he
clung to his ideal, broke with the conventional, and established anew the fact that
art has a place in homely life.
Music has enlisted her heroes as well
as painting. If there be an American
school of music, its establishment is due
perhaps first of all to Edward MacDouc-11. La Forge has said that "they
who love- art must be willing to sweep
the floor and tend the hearth." and i* was
with such disregard for superficial that
MacDowell served. It is stated of him
that he "never compromised his standards : he never conceded to the interests
of the moment, or gave anything more
than his time- and strength to work essential to his necessities. His genius, his
temperament, his enthusiasm, he reserved
for his art." Complete tribute to his purpose—this was MacDowell's ideal. It
was enthroned in his life, and taught him
to subordinate all else.
A few intense
years he worked, interpreting beauty in
the form of lyrical music. Darkness came
upon him early, but his torch burns still.

Prohibition Prohibits:
It is one of the catch phrases of the
Street ,: iat "prohibition does not prohibit." Like many another catch-phrase,
tin- one has come to be regarded as a
truism. The man who questions this
dictum queers himself as once with his
neighbors. And yet there is no inherent
infallibility in such a phrase. The man
who questions its accuracy may be right
after all ,and the phrase- may be wrong.
There are some facts that it is well for
all men to weigh: and surely facts ought
to count with us all as more authoritative than any mere catch-phrase.
In the first place, it is a manifest fact
that liquor dealers everywhere seem to
btii've that prohibition prohibits. They
always fight it with all the- resources at
their command. They know that where
prohibition comes it shuts up the
saloons, and closes out the breweries and
distilleries. They know that its mere approach puts brewery and distillery stock
on the toboggan. The man who doubts
whether prohibition prohibits, and undertakes to continue selling liquor surreptitiously, as hundreds of deluded men
have done in local option communities on
the mainland, discovers new light on this
subject under the compelling influence of
tines and imprisonment.
Again, the exercise of local option has
placed thousands of communities under
the operation of prohibition, and this
l>olicy has been continued steadfastly b>
such communities as the result of an annually recuring vote. The steady course
of the majority in such communities
shows that that majority is satisfied that
prohibition prohibits. It is a glib thing
to say that such citizens know well
enough that prohibition does not prohibit, and that in voting as they do they
publish themselves to the world as social hypocrites. How much easier, however, it is to believe that such citizens
know what they are doing, and have
good reason to be satisfied with their
course as not only honest but also wise.
For the communities in which local option has secured prohibition, and there
are many such in all sections of the mainland, have not only shut out the saloon
effectively, but they have notably augmented the savings of the people as shown
in savings bank statistics; have accelerated the purchase of land and the erection of
bouses by the people; have enormously
reduced expenditures for the maintenance of police and jails; and have enhanced the peace and prosperity of the
community in ways not easily tabulated
but none "he less manifest on every hand.
Again prohibition is a principle imbedded in all repressive legislation, and is
therefore no new or experimental affair,
but rather is the chief reliance in repressing crime. The law against murder, and
bigamy, and arson is a prohibitive law,
and civilized communities are satisfied
that such law prohibits.
In the sense
that a prohibition law against the sale of
of liquor docs not altogether succeed in
suppressing illicit traffic in liquor, so also
docs the prohibition against murder, bigamy, and arson fail to suppress altogether these crimes against society. But
this has never seemed a sufficient reason
for enacting less stringent laws, and it
ought not to be so with reference to laws
prohibiting the sale of liquor.
Again, a law that receives the approbation at the polls of a clear majority of
the citizens is likely to be enacted in
good faith, and having public sentiment
back of it is likely to be enforced as well
as other prohibitive enactments. If there
is reason to doubt "he effective enforcement of such law, popular pressure can
secure Special provision for securing
such enforcement.
Thus the Legislature can empower the Governor to direct the enforcement of the law through
a special constabulary force who will be
free to devote their whole time to this
work, and who will be removed from the
deterrent influences of local political and
other considerations.
When men point to the- large number of "blind pigs" in prohibition communities as evidence that prohibition
does not prohibit, they forget that such
"blind pigs' always exist in license communities as well. They do here in Hawaii under our present license law, and
inasmuch as such "blind pigs" presumptively secure their liquor from licensed
sellers, the probability is that right here
in Hawaii now license promotes the multiplication of such places. Some of our
retailers are wholesalers as well, and
it is a plain business proposition that they
may be- depended on to sell all they can
in quantity as well as by the glass. And
the "blind pig" operator gets his liquor
by the quantity where it can be bought.
L'.ndcr prohibition there would be no
such opportunities to secure liquors from
licensed dealers, and this fact would

torial prohibition with a special constabulary appointed by the Governor and
removable only by him, and an enactment constituting the payment of a Federal tax prima facie evidence of the sale
of liquor, would obtain for us here some
of the best features of Federal prohibition, would preserve home rule as the regulating power, and would secure such
a vigorous and consistent enforcement
that blind pigs would be reduced to a
minimum instead of being at a maximum
as at present under existing law.

of more courteous discussion of public

of a wholesome- spiritual life in our
churches and missions.
2. It is not strange that this material
activity should be accompanied by statistical evidences of the hopeful condition
of our churches. The tidings come from
every direction of numerous, and substantial accessions to the membership of the
churches. The carefully planned campaign of evangelistic meetings, mainly in
pastorless and isolated churches, has been
fruitful and stimulating. It has been impossible to compass every portion of the
territory, and some needy sections, have
not been visited.
But the experiment of
sending two men out together for patient
house to house visitation, accompanied by
public meetings in numerous neighborhoods, warrants such work at frequent
intervals.
3. Some of our pastorless churches
have been provided with more frequent
preaching services by visiting supplies;
and some have been supplied regularly.
At I lauula, the response of the people
has been noticeable. At other points the
response has been disappointing. One
of the most noteworthy gains of the
quarter has been the return to some of
our churches, under wise leadership, of
those who had taken up with other teach-

one of profound encouragement. Our
workers in the main are making real
progress in adapting themselves to the
special needs of their respective fields.
Some of these fields are isolated, and the
difficulties are serious ones.
But real
headway is being made even where these
obstacles arc the most serious.
Taken in collection with the annual statistical reports from our missions and
churches for the year closing with Dec.

most fruitful and eivcouraging during recent years.

Digest of Quarterly Reports for Quarter ending December 31, J909.*
1. The quarter has been one of unusual activity in the erection of new
buildings, and in the repair and renovation of old ones.
A handsome little church building has
been erected at Kaiwiki, Hawaii, very
largely through the self-denying gifts of
tlie Portuguese resident there.
The Japanese church at Koloa has dedicated a reconstructed building; the
building of the Japanese church at Waialua has been moved to a better location
and together with the parsonage has been
repainted and renovated; a neat and attractive chapel has been erected and dedicated at Makalawena, Kona; and three
fine new church buildings have been
erected and dedicated at Olaa, Spreckelsville. and Kaunakakai. A pretty little
church building on Lanai was formally
opened for church services in December.
A commodious Sunday School Hall at
Kapaa was completed during the quarter.
Extensive repairs were made on the
Alexander Parsonage at Wailuku, on the
Kaahumanu church at that place, on the
Chinese parsonage at Hilo, and on several church buildings in Kona, Hawaii,
and on Kauai. Other repairs and new
buildings are being planned for. This
activity is one of the material evidences

sermon material of our pastors and hence
to add greatly to the value of church services ; indirectly the effect is to awaken a
sense of responsibility on the part of

5. The Island Associations held during the quarter were particularly notable
as furnishing occasion for a fine display
of Christian comradeship between races.
Thus at the Koloa meeting and at the
Waianae meeting, the Associations, made
up mainly of Hawaians, gave glad and
hearty support to meetings in the interest
of Japanese evangelism.
o. The demand for workers is becoming more insistent as the months pass.
Losses by death and prospective removal
are especially forcing this matter to our
attention in our Chinese and Japanese
missions, and among our Hawaiian
churches. New fields that are inviting
workers arc only accentuating the problem. Efforts are being made to secure
the needed workers, but the situation
calls for prayer as well as effort.

of outreaching for larger usefulness that
is to be noted in the quarter's reports is

Smoking.
"No smoking in the dormitories, was
the rule when the Seattle building opened a year ago, and will stand for another
year, for not only have the rooms been
full, but young men have taken quarters
there in order to help themselves to
break the habit. This is exactly in line
with the decision of the Eastern District
Branch, Brooklyn, where the members,
after two open debates, decided with
practical unanimity not to allow smoking
in the building.
Many smokers voted
against it because they wanted to be

3. There are many national vices
which rise up like mountains. One of
these is the parent of all others; I mean
intemperance. It hinders the progress
of God's kingdom, it ruins many souls.
Some people approve of Christianity but
do not become Christians. One said to
me, "Many times I have trembled and
wept as I listen to sermons, and have
made up my mind that I would be a child
of God, but when I got home the first
glass of wine swept all these resolutions
away."
We are now fighting hard against this
great enemy of intemperance and other
vices that hinder the progress of the Redeemer's kingdom.
We are trying also
to build up the kingdom by religion, educational and social, and all other means
we can use.
()f course, our churches are small, but
we believe that the church is an army,
and that every man who hears the voice
of Jesus saying, "Thy sins are forgiven"
hears the same voice calling "Now destroy the works of the dcvil —try to make
earth like heaven, and every man like
me."
While we hear the voice of Jesus saying "Fear not, little flock, it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom," we also feel a great responsibility. I fawaii needs more evangelists
and teachers. I earnestly beg the Hawaiian Board to open new ways to help
the Gospel reach all our countrymen in
Hawaii.
As St. Paul says, "Brethren, my
hearts' desire and prayer to God for
them is, that they might be saved." The
Scripture says, "Whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
How then shall they call on
him of whom they have not heard, and
how shall they hear without a preacher
and how shall they preach except they be
sent.

Notes From the Field
FRANK S. SCUDDER
EARLY FULFILLED.
IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE TO. MR.
TAKAHASHI.
The following resolute words were
frequently utered in private conversation
by Mr. Takahashi, whose lamented death
was noted in the February FRIEND.
The oft repeated "here" had reference to
his own field in Makaweli.
"I love Hawaii, and expect to spend
my life here for my people. Here I will
live for them and here I shall die for
them. As a soldier lays down his life on
the battlefield for his country so will I
lay down my life here for Hawaii."
The funeral of Mr. Takahashi, our
evangelist whose tragic death was noticed in the last issue of The Friend, took
place in Makaweli on January 28. Rev.
T. Okumura, Mrs. T. Hori and Rev.
Frank S. Scudder went as representatives of the Hawaiian Board.
Being the first Christian funeral held
among the Japanese in that vicinity, the
event created an unusually profound impression. Most touching was the apparent sense of helpless desolation among
the young men who had lost their
"Sensei," who was more to them than a
brother.
When the coffin was carried from the
hospital to the hall where the service was
to-be held.it was suggested that the
young men divide into companies, each
company to take its turn in carrying it;
but no sooner was it lifted than all
crowded around it, those who could not
get near reaching a hand as far into the
crowd as possible, and trying at least to
touch the coffin.
It was with a feeling of relief that at
last we saw it safely placed in the hall.
The hall was crowded, yet a hush prevailed. A number of persons, among
whom were two Buddhist priests from
Makaweli and Waimea, paid their tributes of respect to the beloved brother.
Mr. B. D. Baldwin spoke most feelingly
and appreciatively of Mr. Takahashi's
exceptional character, his wide influence
and his unselfish devotion to the welfare
of everyone.
At the close of the service a meeting
was held in a neighboring camp, to which
most of the people remained and listened
with unusual interest to the Gospel message.
The body was brought to Honolulu
and cremated several days before the
news could be broken to Mrs. Takahashi
in the hospital. Heartbroken as she is,
she has borne the affliction with Japanese fortitude, and with a Christlike spirit.
Mrs. Takahashi wishes us to express
her deep appreciation of the sympathy
which has been shown to her by American people as well as by Japanese. In
Makaweli, Lihue, Honolulu, Ewa and
other places, many have added to heartfelt sympathy a practical sympathy of
the hand, which will be a great comfort
and help to her in facing the new respon-

of my fence all around, and made it tight.

the hen seeming to fear that her day of

screeched so loud that all I could make
out of her protest was "You'll see that
prohibition doesn't prohibit!" and I said,
"Maybe it won't, but anyhow it will be a
step in the right direction to get you out
of the way," and with a firm step I led
him to the prohibition block and with one
blow I accomplished more than I had in
all my previous experiments. I found all
the rest of my chickens easily controlled,

In spite of the fact that such a large

of the valleys and seacoast and hillside,

these llawaiians that we turn in considering the subject of the country Sunday
school.
It is evident that some of these schools
are almost dead, or if not dead they are
at least asleep. The reason for this is
something easily seen. There may be but
few people left in a village and these few
have become discouraged by the small
number that could be gathered together
for a scho.il session. Sometimes the cause
of the trouble is the lack of some one to
lead the school and to put new life into
the members. At other times it is the
bickering and quarrels that have almost
broken up the work.
How can these three obstacles to success be overcome?
The first problem
may be solved as soon as the second is
met successfully. In other words, if you

Christmas, which we employed in visiting
the many sacred spots about Jerusalem
and making a "rip to Jericho and the Jor-

miles over the hills from Jerusalem. The

They had all shaven polls and beards,

While the ceremony was, of course,
somewhat distasteful to .a Protestant, it
was very imposing and impressive, and
something to remember. The fact that it
was held at the actual birthplace of Jesus
added solemnity to what would otherwise be farcical and the devotion of the
worshippers should be an example for
us.
The morning was spent in a walk to
the plain of the shepherds some miles to
the east, to the home of Joseph the son of
Jacob, and to other points of interest. At
eleven we attended a service in Arabic in
the school of the English Protestant
school in Bethlehem, after which we
walked back to Jerusalem. Trains of
camels led by Arabs, numbers of pilgrims
on their way to the afternoon service at
the Grotto of the Shepherds, carriages
full of priests and others, Bedouins on
donkeys and on foot, etc., were met constantly as we walked along the white
stony highway.
In the afternoon we attended service
in the large Russian church in Jerusalem
and found the ceremonies more impressive and the music much more beautiful
than that of the Roman Catholic. Thus
we had three services on Christmas day,
and each in a separate unknown tongue.
It was a day long to be remembered. The
painful part of it was to see opposing
Christian sects quarreling over the
birthplaec of our Lord, whose whole
teaching was love and forgiveness of
enemies and charity. It is degrading that
the peace must be kept between Christian
sects by Moslem soldiery. We are enjoying our tour greatly, and hope to reach
Honolulu in March or April. Aloha nui
to all the friends.

IN MEMORIAM.
Wm. H Bailey was born and brought
up in Wailuku Maui, where the sun
peeped each morning over old Haleakala,
and at right threw long shadows from
West Maui mountains. He was a student
at Punahou when Mrs. Mills was a
teacher theie, and scores of men and women now living were his schoolmates.
He was a planter on Maui for years, and
here his children were born. Though the
last years of his life were spent in California, in mining and in developing oil
lands, he was still a kamaaina and had
been a "Cousin" from his childhood. For
a few years his health was impaired, but
on Jan. 1 he left all care and sickness behind and entered into rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey were married on
Maui, and only a few days before Mrs.
Bailey's death they celebrated the fortieth anniversary of their wedding. For
forty years they had lived together the

joys and sorrows of life and passed
through its lights and shadows, but on
Jan. Ist Mrs. Bailey was too ill to be
told of her husband's death, and so never
knew she was a widow, for on his birthday, January 24th, she awakened as from
a troubled sleep, at the dawning of eternal day, to see him again and receive a
welcome into the joys of heaven. They
were weary, and we say, "they have entered into rest."
But what shall we say of the young—
those in early manhood and womanhood,
who asked not for rest but for action ?
Three of the younger members of the
mission families have lately passed away,
seeming to leave unfinished their life
work.
Mrs. Lottie Lee Hartwell Chater, a
young wife and mother, whom we in
Honolulu knew as a bright and happy
girl, with winsome ways and charming
personality, went, on September 3rd,
"Suddenly into the brightness,
Out of a shadowed day;
Suddenly into fadeless dawn,
The perfect Light alway."
Alice Kluegel and Robert S. Andrews,
each battled bravely for about three
years for breath, when suddenly Death
seemed to conquer, and life here ended.
But no!
"I have come that ye might
have life," said the Master. The Lord
was with them in the fight and in the
victory. What if the fair young bodies,
the beautiful habitations in which they
dwelt, must be left behind. The souls,
they themselves, had been purified, and
were ready to fill the "places prepared"
for them. The work was ready, they
were needed, the caH had come, and they
have gone.
We think of them as having alreadybreathed in great draughts of life eternal ; and with more abundant life, over-
flowing vitality and strength without the
shadow of weakness, they have entered
into their work, and are now flashing
wireless messages of love, fresh from
their Redeemer's lips, through space, as
He directs. "Life more abundant!"
Victory.

MISS ADAMS MUCH WELCOMED
(Though not written for publication, we
think this extract from a letter bears a
significance of interest ana value to our
readers.)
We found large crowds at the station,
and every one seemed glad to welcome
me back, but the climax was reached
when I arrived at Hanabatake, and found
the whole cho (ward) decorated with
lanterns, flags and arches, and all the
people lined up to meet me, the children
waving flags, and. as I rode thru the
lines, they shouted, "Adams

banzai!" I was so pleased, I just shouted, "Hanabatake banzai!" It was some
time before I could get away, and go up
to Miss Wainright's for dinner. The decorations were kept up two days, and
one day they put the floating fish out for
a time, as a welcome.
I began at once to unpack and prepare
for the bazaar, which went off well,
yesterday, followed by the big welcome
meeting in the park. I don't know yet
how mucn money we cleared, but we
took in about one hundred and eighty
yen.
Tonight I had another welcome meet-
ing, and several follow, during the week.
No chance to rest and get my house in
order, but that will come.
With the
bazaar, welcome meetings and interviews
by newspaper reporters, I haven't had
the time to do some important things.

ARMAMENTS AND THEIR
RESULTS.*
By Andrew Carnegie.
Armies and navies exist and increase
solely under the plea that these are the
best, and indeed the only meai.s of ensurng peace.
We deal with three of the axioms urg-
ed in their justification.
First: "To be prepared for war is the
surest way to secure peace."
Answer: If only one nation "prepared"
this axiom would be sound; but when
one arms others follow, and the fancied
security vanishes. Rivalry between nations ensues, and preparation, so far from
promoting peace, sows suspicion and jealousy, developing into hatred the prolific
seed of future wars between nations hitherto peacefully disposed.
Nations are only aggregations of men,
and all human experience proves that
men unarmed are less likely to quarrel
than men aimed. Hence in civilized lands
they are debarred from arming.
Two neighbors have a difference which
a friendly interview would have solved,
but one acts upon the axiom, "In time of
peace prepare for war," and buys a pistol.
Hearing this, the other promptly "pre-
pares."
The first decides he is insufficiently
"prepared," and buys a six-chambered revolver, an action that is immediately followed by his neighbor. With every additional weapon purchased the premium
upon their lives would be promptly raised
by insurance companies. These "prepared" men have only to meet by chance,
when a word, a gesture, misinterpreted,
results in bloodshed, perhaps death. ExThe causes of
actly so with nations.
wars, both between nations and men, are
generally of trifling moment. So much
depends upon their attitude to each other,
friendly or unfriendly. If the former,
no dispute but can be peacefully settled;
if unfriendly, no trifle but can create war;
the disposition is all. Hence the folly and
danger of nations arming against each
other, which must always arouse mutual
suspicion, fatal to friendly relations.
Armaments and true friendship are incompatible. Even nations in close alliance against other nations must always
feel the alliance may give place to other
and perhaps hostile alliances. Thus suspicion inevitably follows armaments as
shadows follow substance. There is no
escape, and suspicion is fatal.
Second: "Our armaments are intended
only for our own protection and are no
menace to other nations; they make for
peace."
